  Directors' Strategic Review; Results for the Year Ended 31st December 2021 
 
The Directors of Startup Giants present below the Company's audited financial 
statements for the year ended 31st December 2021. Readers should understand 
that the financial statements below are extracted from - but do not on their 
own constitute - Startup Giants' statutory accounts. These are contained in the 
Annual Report and Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2021, 
which are expected to be posted to shareholders on 21st June 2022 and to be 
laid before shareholders for adoption and approval at the Annual General 
Meeting, notice of which will accompany the Annual Report. For a fuller and 
more detailed explanation of the financial statements below, readers are 
therefore referred to the statutory accounts, including the full Notes thereto. 
A downloadable copy of the Annual Report and Financial Statements will be 
obtainable from the Company's website at https://startupgiants.com. 
 
Headline Financial Data 
 
The Board is pleased to inform shareholders that the Company's revenues rose 
significantly from the previous year's level owing to an increase in the 
Company's business activities described below in identifying and supporting 
young businesses to locate and establish themselves in the United Kingdom. The 
Company undertook consultancy work for and provided support services to 
early-stage entrepreneurs, generating revenue of £623,839 (2020, £87,461). An 
increase in administrative costs to £537,368 (2020, £234,477), which was 
largely composed of costs associated with the support provided to endorsee 
entrepreneurs, resulted in an operating profit of £44,471 (2020, loss: £ 
(147,016)). After deducting a small amount of financing costs, the Company 
generated an overall profit before and after taxation of £43,814 (2020, loss: £ 
(188,099)) translating into a profit per share of 3.88 pence (2020, loss: 
(18.62) pence per share). At the end of the year, shareholders' funds stood at 
£692,648 (2020, £446,627); cash and cash-equivalents in hand stood at £ 
1,098,838 (2020, £675,958). 
 
Significant Features of Financial 2021 
 
The Company's focus for the majority of 2021 remained on the selection and 
support of global opportunities and talent from visa applicants seeking to 
bring their innovation to the United Kingdom, in a range of sectors including 
Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), Fintech, MarTech, Manufacturing, and Supply 
Chain, where Startup Giants' management has previous experience and expertise, 
enabling the Company significantly to increase the number of founders within 
its portfolio. 
 
In the last quarter of 2021, with an indication that the Covid-19 pandemic 
seemed to be easing, the Company initiated activities on future growth areas 
including channels related to education/learning for start-up founders and a 
partner programme to expand the Company's network of deal originators and 
investment intermediaries. 
 
Current Trading and Post-Balance Sheet Events 
 
Trading during the current financial year hitherto has been in line with the 
Directors' expectations at the beginning of the period. The Company has during 
the current year to date commenced trialling its partner programme with a 
company in India, providing access to a wider selection of nurtured investment 
opportunities in the pre-seed and seed stages and to expand its network of 
investors into different regions. 
 
Immediately following the Russian Federation's invasion in February this year 
of The Ukraine, the UK government, along with many of its Continental European 
and other counterparts, introduced measures intended to restrict freedom of 
personal movement, choice of overseas residency and the free movement of 
capital against Russia and certain citizens of Russia; similarly, against some 
states and their citizens that are closely allied with Russia. Other than to 
the extent that the effects of the war are likely to be felt in many economies 
globally for some time to come, the Directors do not believe that targeted, 
tighter regulation for the grant of visas and leave to reside in the UK should 
impact the Company's business model. 
 
Outlook 
 
Looking ahead, the momentum for technology companies requiring investment at 
the seed stage should continue, with demand for the Company's support model, 
which encompasses a delivery crew to support young start-ups with their 
technology and digital marketing strategies, showing signs of continuing to 
increase. 
 
Key Performance Indicators 
 
The Directors do not consider there to be any relevant key performance 
indicators other than turnover and profit/loss for the year at this stage of 
the development of the business. 
 
Promoting the Success of the Company 
 
The Directors, in accordance with s. 172, seek to promote the long-term success 
of the Company and consider the interests of all stakeholders, by regular 
Director meetings and communication, coupled with the substantial experience of 
the Board members and their varied skills.
