Strategic Report for the Year Ended 30 April 2024
The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 30 April 2024.
Principal activity
The principal activity of the company is the distribution and sale of diagnostic and microbiological products.
Fair review of the business
Having enjoyed steady growth for many years, Pro-Lab Diagnostics remains firmly positioned as a leading manufacturer and supplier of In-Vitro Diagnostics kits and reagents around the world.
With the event of Brexit, we are of course continuing to be presented with new challenges that were successfully met for our business, and this success continues through planned strategic marketing, market surveillance, and adoption change.
As a manufacturing company, as well as a distributor of carefully chosen complementary products, our products continue to grow from a sales perspective due to concerted sales and marketing efforts and reputation throughout the world.
The advent of the worldwide SARS-CoV-2 pandemic presented many challenges to our industry, and we were proud to be able to work closely with the NHS, UKHSA, BIVDA and DHSC with the supply of essential PCR testing kits and equipment in partnership with Certest Biotec in Spain whom we represent exclusively in the UK.
The results of this collaboration are demonstrated clearly in the sales figures for the last few years and although demand for this product is slowing many new opportunities are available. As a company, Pro-Lab Diagnostics is stronger in all areas of business, monitored by performance matrix, since before the pandemic. All of this is demonstrated in sales results over the last 6 years.
Moving forward , Pro-Lab Diagnostics has transitioned through another recognised market position with Molecular Biology and continues to succeed on the legacy of the pandemic sales in many other diagnostic areas.
From a development point of view, we have launched a full range of end-to-end automation equipment for molecular biology to compliment the kits and reagents which we are continuing to grow and expand into. This range continues to be successful with 2 major laboratories in the UK having adopted the products. In addition we have the imminent launch of additional equipment to this range.
We also entered in to a new agreement for the exclusive distribution of test equipment and reagents for the rapid determination of antimicrobial susceptibility testing directly from positive blood cultures. This is a breakthrough in the global fight against antimicrobial resistance and offers considerable growth potential over the next 5 years, circa £6 Million. The system is poised to be implemented in to a number of key NHS testing facilities in the UK in 2025.
MICROLINK TECHNOLOGY LIMITED
Strategic Report for the Year Ended 30 April 2024 (continued)
Also, Biobanking has become a new expanded requirement for laboratories carrying out routine pathogen screening of blood samples. We are pleased to continue to offer a unique automation platform for this need that is having great success in the UK and is now in routine use in over 20 laboratory sites in the UK.
As a result of the above expansions and success in product offering, we have also expanded our sales, technical and support team in the UK.
To ensure smooth growth and financial stability, we operate a full cash flow planning system matched to aged creditors and debtors. This works as a key KPI and also forms part of our compliance with ISO13485 for business planning purposes. Staff numbers, capabilities and ongoing training also form a key part of ISO compliance, and all actions are recorded and retained for compliance audit purposes. Investment is also made in production efficiency capabilities as we grow.
The company's key financial and other performance indicators during the year were as follows:

Principal risks and uncertainties
Principle business risks exist in all market areas, including that of the IVD testing world as health challenges continue, and can often develop unexpectedly. To keep the company firmly positioned to meet all challenges, continual market research is conducted within our chosen market place and directly with our customers. We also work closely with leading organisation with committee positions held such as the British In-Vitro Diagnostics Association and the Institute of Biomedical Science. Close collaboration is also maintained with many leading educational institutes and Universities.

MICROLINK TECHNOLOGY LIMITED
Statement of Directors' Responsibilities
The directors acknowledge their responsibilities for preparing the Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under company law the directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the profit or loss of the company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to:
• |
select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently; |
• |
make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; |
• |
state whether applicable United Kingdom Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and |
• |
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business. |
The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
MICROLINK TECHNOLOGY LIMITED
Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of MICROLINK TECHNOLOGY LIMITED
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of MICROLINK TECHNOLOGY LIMITED (the 'company') for the year ended 30 April 2024, which comprise the Profit and Loss Account, Statement of Comprehensive Income, Balance Sheet, Statement of Changes in Equity, Statement of Cash Flows, and Notes to the Financial Statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion the financial statements:
• | give a true and fair view of the state of the company's affairs as at 30 April 2024 and of its profit for the year then ended; |
• | have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and |
• | have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. |
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the auditor responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the director's 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 company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the original financial statements were authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Other information
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
MICROLINK TECHNOLOGY LIMITED
Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of MICROLINK TECHNOLOGY LIMITED (continued)
We have nothing to report in this regard.
Opinion on other matter prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
• |
the information given in the Strategic Report and Directors' Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and |
• |
the Strategic Report and Directors' Report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. |
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of our knowledge and understanding of the company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Strategic Report and the Directors' Report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
• | adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or |
• | the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or |
• | certain disclosures of directors' remuneration specified by law are not made; or |
• | we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. |
Responsibilities of directors
As explained more fully in the Statement of Directors' Responsibilities [set out on page 5], the directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor Responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
MICROLINK TECHNOLOGY LIMITED
Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of MICROLINK TECHNOLOGY LIMITED (continued)
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below .
Discussions were held with, and enquiries made of, management and those charged with governance with a view to identifying those laws and regulations that could be expected to have a material impact on the financial statements. During the engagement team briefing, the outcomes of these discussions and enquiries were shared with the team, as well as consideration as to where and how fraud may occur in the entity.
The following laws and regulations were identified as being of significance to the entity:
• Those laws and regulations considered to have a direct effect on the financial statements nclude UK financial reporting standards, Company Law and distributable profits legislation.
• Those laws and regulations for which non-compliance may have a direct effect on the operating aspects of the business and therefore may have a material effect on the financial statements are ISO 13485, Health safety regulations, anti-bribery and anti-corruption laws and compliance with tax legislation.
Audit procedures undertaken in response to the potential risks relating to irregularities (which include fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations) comprised of: inquiries of management and those charged with governance as to whether the entity complies with such laws and regulations; enquiries with the same concerning any actual or potential litigation or claims; inspection of relevant legal correspondence; testing the appropriateness of entries in the nominal ledger, including journal entries; reviewing transactions around the end of the reporting period; and the performance of analytical procedures to identify unexpected movements in account balances which may be indicative of fraud.
No instances of material non-compliance were identified. However, the likelihood of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is limited by the inherent difficulty in detecting irregularities, the effectiveness of the entity’s controls, and the nature, timing and extent of the audit procedures performed. Irregularities that result from fraud might be inherently more difficult to detect than irregularities that result from error. As explained above, there is an unavoidable risk that material misstatements may not be detected, even though the audit has been planned and performed in accordance with ISAs (UK).
A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 April 2024 (continued)

Accounting policies (continued) |
Foreign currency transactions and balances
Tax
The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in profit or loss, except that a change attributable to an item of income or expense recognised as other comprehensive income is also recognised directly in other comprehensive income.
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date in the countries where the company operates and generates taxable income.
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences between taxable profits and profits reported in the financial statements.
Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised when it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits.
Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference, except for revalued land and investment property where the tax rate that applies to the sale of the asset is used.
Tangible Assets
Tangible Assets are stated in the balance sheet at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.
The cost of tangible assets includes directly attributable incremental costs incurred in their acquisition and installation.
Depreciation
Depreciation is charged so as to write off the cost of assets, other than land over their estimated useful lives, as follows:
Asset class |
Depreciation method and rate |
Plant and machinery etc |
20% on reducing balance |
Buildings |
Straight line over 25 years |
Investments
Investments in equity shares which are publicly traded or where the fair value can be measured reliably are initially measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss. Investments in equity shares which are not publicly traded and where fair value cannot be measured reliably are measured at cost less impairment.
Interest income on debt securities, where applicable, is recognised in income using the effective interest method. Dividends on equity securities are recognised in income when receivable.
MICROLINK TECHNOLOGY LIMITED
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 April 2024 (continued)

Accounting policies (continued) |
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
Trade Debtors
Trade Debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business.
Trade Debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.
Stocks
Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost is determined using the weighted average method.
The cost of finished goods and work in progress comprises direct materials and, where applicable, direct labour costs and those overheads that have been incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. At each reporting date, stocks are assessed for impairment. If stocks are impaired, the carrying amount is reduced to its selling price less costs to complete and sell; the impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.
Trade Creditors
Trade Creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the company does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities.
Trade Creditors are recognised initially at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Leases
Leases in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.
Share capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Equity instruments are measured at the fair value of the cash or other resources received or receivable, net of the direct costs of issuing the equity instruments. If payment is deferred and the time value of money is material, the initial measurement is on a present value basis.
Dividends
Dividend distribution to the company’s shareholders is recognised as a liability in the financial statements in the reporting period in which the dividends are declared.

Defined contribution pension obligation
A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which fixed contributions are paid into a pension fund and the company has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions even if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods.
Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as employee benefit expense when they are due. If contribution payments exceed the contribution due for service, the excess is recognised as a prepayment.
