Material uncertainty over going concern
We draw attention to note 2.3 in the financial statements, which indicates that due to a decreasing customer base and challenges in the labour market, amongst other conditions, the Group has seen a challenging year resulting in significant losses and increased reliance on their parent company, X2X II LLC. As stated in note 2.3 these events or conditions indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter. The Group has received written confirmation from X2X II LLC that it will continue to provide financial support to the Group for a period of at least 12 months from the date of signing these financial statements. For this reason, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing these financial statements.

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented.

Significant events
- “During the year, part of the business was sold resulting in a reduction in group-wide revenue. For more information, please see note 22.”
- “In March 2024, X2X II LLC sold part of its operations, being the PIX line of business. As a result, the Group discontinued the PIX revenue stream, which had previously represented its primary business unit. Therefore, the discontinued operations separately disclosed relate to the financial results for the PIX business line.”
