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

Significant events
- “Revenue for the year was 14.7% higher than prior year and was mainly due to improved terms of a contract extension with the Company's main customer, Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust. Test volumes were modestly improved from prior year with an increase of 1.3%. The contract extension commenced in October 2024 and expires in September 2026. Following the expiry of the extension, a fifteen year contract will commence which has already been signed by the involved parties.”
- “Finance costs have decreased by 12.2% mainly due to decrease in the interest rate charged by Labco UK Group Limited and partly due to a reduction in the Company's internal debt.”
- “The Company will continue to provide analytical services under an extended contract. which ends on 30 September 2026. In October 2026, the Company will commence delivery of services for a 15-year contract with the Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust. This agreement establishes a unified pathology service supporting GP practices and clinicians across Basildon, Broomfield, and Southend hospitals, serving a combined patient population of approximately 1.2 million.”
