- Affirmed
“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 group's and the parent 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.”

Significant events
- “On 3 December 2024 the company successfully completed sale of its subsidiary Nanogen Limited.”
- “During the year, the Company's shareholding structure changed following the introduction of a new majority investor on 10 September 2025. As a result, L'Oreal S.A. became the majority shareholder of the Company, and Inflexion Private Equity Partners LLP, previously the majority shareholder, became a minority shareholder. The change in ownership did not affect the Company's principal activities. As part of this change, the company successfully extinguished all debt instruments.”
