Going concern

Affirmed

“Based on the above analysis the directors have not identified a material uncertainty regarding the going concern assumption for the Company and therefore have a reasonable expectation that the Company will be able to continue to operate for at least the next 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. Therefore, the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.”

Significant events

• “On 2 September 2025 the sale of the Company to Eurofins Forensics Lux Holding Sarl was agreed, with the sale being contractually binding. The expected completion date of the sale is 30 September 2025. The Company will then cease to be part of the SYNLAB group.”
• “Following the sale of the Company the long term financing structure of the Company will change. At the completion of the sale, Eurofins Forensics Lux Holding Sarl is contractually obliged to put the Company in funds to repay the cash pooling amounts due to Labco UK Group Limited. The value of the debt owed to Labco UK Group Limited as at 31 December 2024 was £1,242k.”

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. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
