Now its illegal lol Ill try and explain this so its simple.
Why GS Fintech UAB's Revenue Dropped from €42.5M (2023) to €209K (2024)The sharp decline is real (per official Lithuanian registry data on Rekvizitai.vz.lt), but it's almost certainly not reflective of core operational growth collapsing. Instead, the 2023 figure looks like a one-off or non-recurring transaction that inflated standalone turnover with virtually no profit attached. Here's the most likely explanations, based on patterns in small fintech subsidiaries and group reporting:Most Plausible Reasons One-Off Pass-Through or Intercompany Transaction:Common in group structures: Parent GSTechnologies (or affiliates) may have routed a large payment, fee, asset transfer, or client fund flow through the Lithuanian entity (GS Fintech UAB/ex-Glindala) for regulatory, tax, or licensing reasons.
Evidence: 2023 profit was just €5,475 (~0.01% margin) on €42.5M revenue—classic sign of low-margin/pass-through activity (e.g., high-volume crypto transfers or fiat on-ramps with tiny fees).
2024: Back to "normal" low revenue (€209K) with a loss (€112K), fitting a small team (3 employees) in build-out/compliance mode.
Large Deal or Contract Flow-Through:BB speculation ties it to a "~€36M Semnet contract" (Semnet Pte Ltd acquired by GST in 2023/2024, Singapore cybersecurity firm). Possible some revenue/flows booked via Lithuania temporarily.
Or a big institutional/OTC crypto deal via early GS20 operations—high notional volume but slim margins.
Accounting/Reporting Artifact:Standalone Lithuanian filings (calendar year) vs. GST group reports (March 31 year-end). Group revenue is modest: ~US$1.55M (FY24), US$2.96M (FY25)—no sign of €42M equivalent anywhere consolidated.
The spike doesn't align with announced trading volumes or Bake acquisition (completed Jan 2025, post-2024 filings).

2023

Massive spike; razor-thin margin suggests non-core/one-off.
2024
€209,550
-€111,659
"Normal" for early-stage crypto subsidiary; compliance costs high.
Bottom Line: This isn't a "red flag" for business failure—more like an anomaly from a single large (low-profit) transaction that didn't repeat. Real operational traction shows in group results (revenue up 91% in FY25 from Semnet, Angra, and GS Fintech contributions) and the Bake integration (adding users/AUM post-2024). BOD silence on it is annoying but typical for microcaps—push for clarity in next RNS or AGM. If it was recurring revenue vanishing, we'd see group impacts... which we don't.
