| Report of the Director |
| for the Year Ended 31 December 2024 |
| The director presents his report with the financial statements of the company for the year ended 31 December 2024. |
| PRINCIPAL ACTIVITY |
| The principal activity of the company in the year under review was that of holding its investments in Global Scanning Suzhou Co. Ltd. and Global Scanning Denmark A/S. |
| FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS |
| Global Scanning UK Ltd. is a company in the Global Scanning Group, with Global Scanning Suzhou Co. Ltd producing large format scanner and Global Scanning Denmark A/S being the main operating company in the group. |
| The large format scanner market is stable. Global Scanning Group is continuing its emphasis on research and development to maintain its market position and grow its sales. This is expected to result in new products during the coming year. |
| EVENTS SINCE THE END OF THE YEAR |
| No events have occurred after the balance sheet date that would materially affect the company’s financial position or require disclosure in these financial statements. |
| DIRECTORS |
| The directors who have held office during the period from 1 January 2024 to the date of this report are as follows: |
| FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS |
| The company financed its activities with a combination of intercompany loans, cash and short term deposits. Other financial assets and liabilities, such as trade debtors and trade creditors, arose directly from the company's operating activities. Financial instruments give rise to foreign currency, interest rate, credit, price and liquidity risk, information on how these risks arise is set out in the Strategic report, as are the objectives, policies and processes for their management and the methods used to measure each risk. |
| GOING CONCERN |
| The directors have prepared a high-level forecast for the period to 31 December 2026, being the going concern period assessed. |
| The company is reliant on parental support to settle its liabilities as they fall due. The company has therefore obtained a support letter from Scandinavian Credit Fund I AB (the Fund) for at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue |
| Therefore, the directors have prepared these financial statements on a going concern basis. |
| STATEMENT OF DIRECTOR'S RESPONSIBILITIES |
| The director is responsible for preparing the Report of the Director and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. |
| Company law requires the director to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the director has elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under company law the director must not approve the financial statements unless he is 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 director is required to: |
| - | select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; |
| - | make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; |
| - | prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business. |

| Report of the Director |
| for the Year Ended 31 December 2024 |
| STATEMENT OF DIRECTOR'S RESPONSIBILITIES - continued |
| The director is 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 enable him to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. He is 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. |
| STATEMENT AS TO DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION TO AUDITORS |
| So far as the director is aware, there is no relevant audit information (as defined by Section 418 of the Companies Act 2006) of which the company's auditors are unaware, and he has taken all the steps that he ought to have taken as a director in order to make himself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the company's auditors are aware of that information. |
| AUDITORS |
| The auditors, Krogh & Partners Limited, (Statutory Auditor), will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting. |
| This report has been prepared in accordance with the provisions of Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies. |
| ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD: |
| Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
| Global Scanning UK Ltd (Registered number: 02443087) |
| Opinion |
| We have audited the financial statements of Global Scanning UK Ltd (the 'company') for the year ended 31 December 2024 which comprise the Income Statement, Other Comprehensive Income, Balance Sheet, Statement of Changes in Equity and 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 101 'Reduced Disclosure Framework' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). |
| In our opinion the financial statements: |
| - | give a true and fair view of the state of the company's affairs as at 31 December 2024; |
| - | have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and |
| - | have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. |
| Basis for opinion |
| 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 Auditors' responsibilities 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 UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and 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 director's 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 when the financial statements are authorised for issue. |
| Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the director with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report. |
| Other information |
| The director is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the Report of the Director, but does not include the financial statements and our Report of the Auditors thereon. |
| Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other 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 or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. 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 Report of the Director for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and |
| - | the Report of the Director has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. |
| Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
| Global Scanning UK Ltd (Registered number: 02443087) |
| Matters on which we are required to report by exception |
| In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Report of the Director. |
| We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where 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 director's remuneration specified by law are not made; or |
| - | we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or |
| - | the director was not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies regime and take advantage of the small companies' exemption from the requirement to prepare a Strategic Report or in preparing the Report of the Director. |
| Responsibilities of director |
| As explained more fully in the Statement of Director's Responsibilities set out on pages two and three, the director is responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the director determines 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, the director 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 the director either intends to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. |
| Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements |
| Our objectives 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 a Report of the Auditors that includes our 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. |
| The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: |
| - | the engagement partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations; |
| - | we identified the laws and regulations applicable to the company through discussions with directors and other management, and from our commercial knowledge of the business; |
| - | we focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the company, including the Companies Act 2006 and taxation legislation; |
| - | we assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of management and inspecting legal correspondence; and |
| - | identified laws and regulations were communicated within the audit team regularly and the team remained alert to instances of non-compliance throughout the audit. |
| Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
| Global Scanning UK Ltd (Registered number: 02443087) |
| We assessed the susceptibility of the company's financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by: |
| - | making enquiries of management as to where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud, their knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud; |
| - | considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations. |
| To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we: |
| - | performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships; |
| - | tested journal entries to identify unusual transactions; |
| In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to: |
| - | agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation; |
| - | enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims; |
| - | reviewing correspondence with HMRC and relevant regulators |
| There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-compliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the directors and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any. |
| Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion. |
| A further description of our 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 Report of the Auditors. |
| Use of our report |
| 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 a Report of the Auditors 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 - continued |

| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
| Group financial statements |
| The company is exempt by virtue of Section 399 of the Companies Act 2006 from the requirement to prepare group accounts on the grounds that it is subject to the small regime. Also, it is a wholly owned subsidiary undertaking of Global Scanning A/S, a company incorporated in Denmark, and its subsidiary undertakings are included in the consolidated accounts of that undertaking. Global Scanning A/S prepares its financial statements, in all material respects, in accordance with the EC 7th Directive. |
| These financial statements represent information about the company as an individual undertaking and not about its group. |
| The consolidated financial statements of Global Scanning A/S, in which the results of Global Scanning UK Ltd and its subsidiaries are included, can be obtained at www.cvr.dk. |
| Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty |
| The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported for assets and liabilities as at the balance sheet date and the amounts reported for revenues and expenses during the year. However, the nature of estimation means that actual outcomes could differ from those estimates. |
| The following judgements (apart from those involving estimates) have had the most significant effect on amounts recognised in the financial statements. |
| IFRS 16 |
| The critical estimates and assumptions used by the company for IFRS 16, that have an effect on the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, are outlined below. |
| Lease term |
| The company determines the lease term as the non-cancellable term of the lease, together with any periods |
| covered by an option to extend the lease where this is reasonably certain to be exercised, or any periods |
| covered by an option to terminate the lease where this is reasonably certain not to be exercised. |
| For options for the company to extend and or terminate lease terms the company applies judgement in |
| evaluating whether it is reasonably certain to exercise these options, taking account of all relevant factors, |
| that create an economic incentive for it to do so. After the lease commencement date, the company assesses the lease term if there has been a significant event or change in circumstances that is within its control and which affects its ability to exercise (or not to exercise) the option to renew and / or to terminate (e.g. a change in business strategy). |
| Turnover |
| Revenue from contracts with customers is recognised when the control of the goods or services are transferred to the customer at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. |
| Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received, excluding discounts, rebates and other sales taxes or duty. The following specific recognition criteria must also be net before revenue is recognised: |
| Sales of goods: |
| Revenue from the sales of goods is recognised at the point in time when the control of the assets is transferred to the customers, in line with the relevant terms of trade. |
| Royalties |
| Revenue income is recognised based on the product sales by the company's subsidiary undertaking in the US. |
| Warranties: |
| The company sells scanners with a standard 1 year return to factory warranty. Where extended warranties are sold, revenue is deferred and becomes earned revenues over the coverage period, becoming fully realised at the time the contract expire. |

| Cost of sales |
| Cost of sales comprises costs incurred in generating the revenue for the year. Cost of sales includes provisions for loss on returned goods. |
| Expenditures |
| Expenditures include expenses relating to the Entity's ordinary activities, including expenses for premises, sales as well as office expenses, etc. This item also includes writedowns of debtors recognised in current assets. |
| Staff costs |
| Staff costs comprise wages and salaries, and social security contributions, pension contributions, etc. for entity staff. |
| Interest and similar income and charges |
| Interest and similar income and charges are recognised in the profit and loss account over the term of such |
| instruments at a constant rate on the carrying amount. |
| Investments in subsidiaries and associated companies |
| Investments in subsidiaries and associated companies are valued at cost less any provision for impairment. |
| Financial instruments |
| Financial assets |
| Initial recognition and measurement: |
| All financial assets are recognised initially at fair value plus, in the case of investments not at fair value through profit or loss, directly attributable transaction costs. The company's financial assets include cash, |
| and short-term deposits, trade and other receivables and loans. |
| Loans and receivables: |
| Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not |
| quoted in an active market. Such assets are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at |
| amortised cost using the effective interest (EIR) method, less impairment. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the |
| EIR. The EIR amortisation is included in finance revenue in the income statement. Losses arising from impairment are recognised in the income statement in other operating expenses. |
| Financial liabilities |
| Initial recognition and measurement: |
| The company determines the classification of its financial liabilities at initial recognition. All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and in the case of loans and borrowings, plus directly attributable transaction costs. |
| Interest bearing loans and borrowings: |
| Obligations for loans and borrowings are recognised when the company becomes party to the related contracts and are measured initially at the fair value of consideration received less directly attributable |
| transaction costs. |
| After initial recognition, interest bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. |
| Gains and losses arising on the repurchase, settlement or otherwise cancellation of liabilities are recognised respectively in finance revenue and finance cost. |
| Offsetting of financial instruments: |
| Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet if, and |
| only if, there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously. |

| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
| Taxation |
| Current taxes are based on the results shown in the financial statements and are calculated according to local tax rules, using tax rates enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date. |
| Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date. |
| Research and development |
| Research costs are expensed as incurred. Development expenditure on an individual project is recognised |
| as an intangible asset when the company can demonstrate the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale, its intention to complete and its ability to use or sell the asset, how the asset will generate future economic benefits, the availability of resources to complete the asset and the ability to measure reliably the expenditure during development. |
| Following initial recognition of the development expenditure as an asset; the cost model is applied requiring the asset to be carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Amortisation of the asset begins when development is complete and the asset is available for use. It is amortised evenly over the period of expected future benefit. During the period of development, the asset |
| is tested for impairment annually. |
| Foreign currencies |
| Since the majority of the company's revenues and expenses are denominated in US dollars the director's |
| have determined the functional currency of the company to be US dollars |
| Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into US dollars at rates of |
| exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. All differences are taken to the income statement. |
| Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into US dollars at the rate ruling on the date of the |
| transaction. |
| Leases |
| The company's lease commitments relate mainly to properties. Leases are typically negotiated on an individual basis and thus contain a wide range of terms and conditions, including options to extend of terminate. The lease liability is considered to be an indicator of the future cash outflows, there are no significant restrictions or covenants, residual value guarantees or sale and leaseback transactions. |
| Company assesses at contract inception whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. The company initially |
| recognises a right-of-use asset and a corresponding liability at the date at which the leased asset is available. |
| Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and |
| adjusted for any re-measurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right-of-use assets is equal to the aggregate |
| lease liabilities recognised on day 1, adjusted for any initial direct costs incurred, any lease incentives received and any lease payments made at or before the commencement date. Right-of-use assets are |
| depreciated on a straight line basis over the lease term. Right of use assets are tested for impairment at each |
| year end. |
| At the commencement date of the lease, the company recognises lease liabilities measured at the present |
| value of the lease payments to be made over the lease term, discounted at the incremental borrowing rate. |
| The lease payments include fixed payments less any lease incentives received and amounts expected to be |
| paid under residual value guarantees. In calculating the present value of the lease payments, the company |
| uses its incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date as the interest rate implicit in the lease |
| is not readily determinable. Following recognition, the liability is reduced for the lease payments made and |
| increased by the interest accrued. Moreover, the carrying amount of the lease liability is re-measured in the |
| event of a modification, such as a change in the lease term or change in the lease payments. The interest, cost is charged to the income statement over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of |
| interest on the remaining liability for each period. |

| The company applies the short-term lease exemption to those leases that have a lease term of 12 months or |
| less from the commencement date and also applies the exemption for leases of low value assets to office |
| equipment. Lease payments relating to these exemptions are recognised in operating expenses on a straight- |
| line basis over the lease term. |
