Strategic report
For the year ended 31 December 2023
The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 31 December 2023.
The principal activities of the Company throughout the year were the development and sale of computer software, maintenance, training and consultancy services.
A review of the business and future developments, including key performance indicators and the principal risks and uncertainties is set out below.
The results of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2023 show turnover of £5,264,747 (2022: £16,941,469). The Company generated a loss after taxation for the year of £2,498,490 (2022: loss £770,179). Shareholders’ deficit at the end of the year amounted to £8,598,449 (2022: deficit of £6,099,959).
There were no significant changes in the activities of the Company during the period.
The directors aim to present a balanced and comprehensive review of the development and performance of the business during the year and its position at the year end. Their review is consistent with the size and nature of the business and is written in the context of the risks and uncertainties they face. The directors are satisfied with the performance of the Company.
Principal risks and uncertainties
|
The larger insightsoftware group (the Group) of which the Company is part of manages the Group’s risks and uncertainties through the following:
Liquidity risk
The Group seeks to manage financial risk by ensuring sufficient liquidity is available to meet foreseeable needs to invest cash assets safely and profitably.
Competitor risk
The directors of the Company manage competition through close attention to market research, benchmarking with competition, and recruitment of highly skilled professional staff.
Economic risk
This is the risk of inflation and fluctuations in exchange rates which may have an adverse impact on served markets. The directors continuously review the policies in place to manage foreign exchange risks.
On an overall basis the Company has continued to perform well and in line with expectations, despite the ongoing challenges brought by the inflationary environment. The directors are massively focused on monitoring and assessing how the trading environment develops, to be ready to react quickly to protect our customers, suppliers and employees.
Key performance indicator
|
The directors utilise various KPIs in order to measure the performance of the business. Revenue and margin are closely monitored. These KPIs allow the Board to assess both the growth and profitability of the Company against competitors and the internal and external factors that affect the business. The Board also closely monitors the ratio of development costs and other overheads to maintenance and support revenue. This ratio reflects the ability of the Company to finance software development work out of recurring revenue streams. The directors are satisfied with the performance in respect to these KPIs.

Directors' responsibilities statement
For the year ended 31 December 2023
The directors are responsible for preparing the Strategic report, the Directors' report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'. Under company law the directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Company and of the profit or loss of the Company for that period.
In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to:
∙select suitable accounting policies for the Company's financial statements and then apply them consistently;
∙make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
∙state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
∙prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Company will continue in business.
The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
This report was approved by the board and signed on its behalf:

Independent auditor's report to the members of Insightsoftware UK Trading Ltd
We have audited the financial statements of Insightsoftware UK Trading Ltd ("the Company"), which comprise the Statement of comprehensive income, the Statement of financial position, the Statement of changes in equity for the year ended 31 December 2023, and the related notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion, Insightsoftware UK Trading Ltd's financial statements:
∙give a true and fair view in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice of the assets, liabilities and financial position of the Company as at 31 December 2023 and of its financial performance for the year then ended; and
∙have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) ('ISAs (UK)') and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the 'Responsibilities of the auditor for the audit of the financial statements' section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the United Kingdom, namely the FRC's Ethical Standard and the ethical pronouncements established by Chartered Accountants Ireland, applied as determined to be appropriate in the circumstances of the entity. We have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
|
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities, and the responsibilities of the directors, with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Independent auditor's report to the members of Insightsoftware UK Trading Ltd (continued)
Other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Auditor's report thereon, including the Directors' report and the Strategic report. The directors are responsible for the other information. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies in the financial statements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
∙the information given in the Directors' report and the Strategic report for the year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements, and
∙the Directors' report and the Strategic report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
|
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the Company and its environment we have obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Directors' report and the Strategic report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
∙adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
∙the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
∙certain disclosures of directors' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
∙we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

Independent auditor's report to the members of Insightsoftware UK Trading Ltd (continued)
Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the financial statements
|
Management is responsible for the preparation of the financial statements which give a true and fair view in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice, including FRS102 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intend to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.
Responsibilities of the auditor for the audit of the financial statements
|
The objectives of an auditor are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an Auditor's report that includes their opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
A further description of an auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.
Explanation as to what extent the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that material misstatement in the financial statements may not be detected, even though the audit is properly planned and performed in accordance with the ISAs (UK). The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below.
Based on our understanding of the Company and industry, we identified that the principal risks of non-compliance with laws and regulations related to compliance with Employment laws, Data Protection laws, Health and Safety Regulation, and we considered the extent to which non-compliance might have a material effect on the financial statements. We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the preparation of the financial statements such as UK tax legislation and company law. We evaluated management’s incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements (including the risk of override of controls), and determined that the principal risks were related to posting inappropriate journal entries to manipulate financial performance and management bias through judgements and assumptions in significant accounting estimates, in particular in relation to significant one-off or unusual transactions. We apply professional scepticism through the audit to consider potential deliberate omission or concealment of significant transactions, or incomplete/inaccurate disclosures in the financial statements.

Independent auditor's report to the members of Insightsoftware UK Trading Ltd (continued)
Responsibilities of the auditor for the audit of the financial statements (continued)
Explanation as to what extent the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud (continued)
In response to these principal risks, our audit procedures included but were not limited to:
∙inquiries of management and board on the policies and procedures in place regarding compliance with laws and regulations, including consideration of known or suspected instances of non-compliance and whether they have knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud;
∙inspection of the legal correspondence and review of minutes of board meetings during the year to corroborate inquiries made;
∙gaining an understanding of the internal controls established to mitigate risk related to fraud;
∙discussion amongst the engagement team in relation to the identified laws and regulations and regarding the risk of fraud, and remaining alert to any indications of non-compliance or opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of financial statements throughout the audit;
∙identifying and testing journal entries to address the risk of inappropriate journals and management override of controls;
∙designing audit procedures to incorporate unpredictability around the nature, timing or extent of our testing;
∙challenging assumptions and judgements made by management in their significant accounting estimates, including estimating useful lives of tangible fixed assets, estimating allowance for impairment of debtors and assessing recoverability of deferred tax assets; and
∙review of the financial statements disclosures to underlying supporting documentation and inquiries of management.
The primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of irregularities including fraud rests with those charged with governance and management. As with any audit, there remains a risk of non-detection or irregularities, as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations or override of internal controls.
The purpose of our audit work and to whom we owe our responsibilities
|
This report is made solely to the Company’s members, as a body, in accordance with chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Company’s members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Company and the Company’s members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Notes to the financial statements
For the year ended 31 December 2023
Insightsoftware UK Trading Ltd is a private limited company incorporated in the United Kingdom under the number 02860790 and with a registered office address at 207 Regent Street, Suite 8, Third Floor, London, England, W1B 3HH.
The principal activities of the Company throughout the year were the development and sale of computer software, maintenance, training and consultancy services.
2.Accounting policies
|
|
Basis of preparation of financial statements
|
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise specified within these accounting policies and in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland and the Companies Act 2006.
The preparation of financial statements in compliance with FRS 102 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgment in applying the Company's accounting policies (see note 3).
The Company has availed of the exemptions in FRS 102 section 1.12(b) which allows non-disclosure of the requirements of Section 7 Statement of Cash Flows, Section 3 Financial Presentation paragraph 3.17(d) and Section 11 Basic Financial Instruments disclosure. The Company has also availed of the exemptions in FRS 102 Section 1.12(e) which allows non-disclosure of the requirements of Section 33 Related Party Disclosures paragraph 33.7. The Company has availed of the above exemption on the basis that it is a qualifying entity and its intermediate parent company, GS Intermediate, Inc. includes this information in its consolidated financial statements.
Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
The following principal accounting policies have been applied:
The results of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2023 show turnover of £5,264,747 (2022: £16,941,469). The Company generated a loss after taxation for the year of £2,498,490 (2022: loss after taxation of £770,179). Shareholders’ deficit at the end of the year amounted to £8,598,449 (2022: deficit of £6,099,959). The Company's forecasts and projections, taking account of reasonably possible changes in trading performance, show that the Company should be able to operate on its own account for the foreseeable future. During the year, GS Acquisitionco, Inc. has committed to continue to provide financial support in order to facilitate the ongoing activities of the Company, for a period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements.
Considering the factors mentioned above, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company will have sufficient financial resources available to it to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Therefore, the Directors have concluded it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
|
|
Foreign currency translation (continued)
|
Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the spot exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.
At each period end foreign currency monetary items are translated using the closing rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction and non-monetary items measured at fair value are measured using the exchange rate when fair value was determined.
Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of transactions and from the translation at period-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss except when deferred in other comprehensive income as qualifying cash flow hedges.
Foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the Statement of comprehensive income within 'Administrative expenses'.
Turnover is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured. Turnover is measured as the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. The following criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:
Rendering of services
Turnover from the rendering of services is recognised in the period in which the services are provided in accordance with the stage of completion of the contract when all of the following conditions are satisfied:
−the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;
−it is probable that the Company will receive the consideration due under the contract;
−the stage of completion of the contract at the end of the reporting period can be measured reliably; and
−the costs incurred and the costs to complete the contract can be measured reliably.
Licences
Turnover from sale of licenses is recognised on initial sale of the licence when no significant vendor obligations remain and the collection of the resulting receivable is considered probable.
Software maintenance
Turnover from software maintenance is recognised in equal instalments over the life of the maintenance contract.
Training and consultancy
Turnover from training and consultancy revenue is recognised on delivery of the service.

Notes to the financial statements
For the year ended 31 December 2023
2.Accounting policies (continued)
Long-term contracts and contracts for on-going services
Turnover from long-term contracts and contracts for on-going services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion which represents the value of the work done during the year, including estimates of amounts not yet invoiced.
|
|
Operating leases: the Company as lessee
|
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Benefits received and receivable as an incentive to sign an operating lease are recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term, unless another systematic basis is representative of the time pattern of the lessee's benefit from the use of the leased asset.
In the research phase of an internal project it is not possible to demonstrate that the project will generate future economic benefits and hence all expenditure on research shall be recognised as an expense when it is incurred. Intangible assets are recognised from the development phase of a project if and only if certain specific criteria are met in order to demonstrate the asset will generate probable future economic benefits and that its cost can be reliably measured.
If it is not possible to distinguish between the research phase and the development phase of an internal project, the expenditure is treated as if it were all incurred in the research phase only.
Interest income is recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method.
Interest expenses is charged to the profit or loss over the term of the debt using the effective interest method so that the amount charged is at a constant rate on the carrying amount.
Defined contribution pension plan
The Company operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the Company has no further payment obligations.
The contributions are recognised as an expense in profit or loss when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals as a liability in the Statement of financial position. The assets of the plan are held separately from the Company in independently administered funds.

Notes to the financial statements

2.Accounting policies (continued)
|
|
Current and deferred taxation
|
The tax expense for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in profit or loss except that a charge attributable to an item of income and expense recognised as other comprehensive income or to an item recognised directly in equity is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date in the countries where the Company operates and generates income.
Deferred tax balances are recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed by the reporting date, except that:
∙The recognition of deferred tax assets is limited to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits; and
∙Any deferred tax balances are reversed if and when all conditions for retaining associated tax allowances have been met.
Deferred tax balances are not recognised in respect of permanent differences except in respect of business combinations, when deferred tax is recognised on the differences between the fair values of assets acquired and the future tax deductions available for them and the differences between the fair values of liabilities acquired and the amount that will be assessed for tax. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.
Exceptional items are transactions that fall within the ordinary activities of the Company but are presented separately due to their size or incidence.
Tangible fixed assets under the cost model are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.
Depreciation is provided on the following basis:
The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, or if there is an indication of a significant change since the last reporting date.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in profit or loss.

Impairment of fixed assets
|
At each reporting date fixed assets are reviewed to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If there is an indication of possible impairment, the recoverable amount of any affected asset is estimated and compared with its carrying amount. If estimated recoverable amount is lower, the carrying amount is reduced to its estimated recoverable amount, and an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.
If an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carry amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but not in excess of the amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.
Short-term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. Loans receivable are measured initially at fair value, inclusive of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.
Cash is represented by deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty on notice of not more than 24 hours.
Short-term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities, including bank loans, are measured initially at fair value, inclusive of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
The Company only enters into basic financial instrument transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other debtors and creditors, loans from banks and other third parties, loans to related parties and investments in ordinary shares.
For financial assets measured at cost less impairment, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between an asset's carrying amount and best estimate of the recoverable amount, which is an approximation of the amount that the Company would receive for the asset if it were to be sold at the reporting date.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the Statement of financial position when there is an enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Judgments in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty
|
Estimates and judgments made in the process of preparing the financial statements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believe to be reasonable under the circumstances.
a) Critical judgment in applying the entity's accounting policies
There were no significant judgments made by the directors that had a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements.
b) Critical accounting estimates and assumptions
The directors make estimates and assumptions concerning the future in the process of preparing the entity financial statements. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are addressed below.
Estimated useful lives of tangible fixed assets
The annual depreciation on tangible fixed assets is sensitive to changes in the estimated useful lives and residual values of the assets. The estimated useful lives are reviewed annually. They are amended when necessary to reflect current estimates, based on technological advancement, future investments, economic utilisation and the physical condition of the assets.
Recoverability of trade debtors and amounts owed by group undertakings
The directors make an assessment at the end of each financial year of whether there is objective evidence that a debtor balance is impaired. When assessing impairment of debtor balances, the directors consider factors including the current credit rating of the debtor, the age profile of outstanding invoices, recent correspondence and trading activity, and historical experience of cash collections from the debtor.
Recognition of deferred tax assets
There is a level of estimation over the recognition of deferred tax assets in relation to their recoverability. Management use forecasting to estimate the likelihood of the recoverability of tax losses in future periods.

|
|
|
|
In 2021, an increase in the corporation tax rate to 25% with effect from 1 April 2023 was substantively enacted. The 23.5% rate used above reflects 9 months of this new rate and 3 months of the previous rate of 19%. The 25% rate is used to measure UK deferred taxes in 2023 (and in 2022 to the extent the related timing differences were expected to reverse after 1 April 2023).

|
Factors that may affect future tax charges
