Operations: The company's revenue is derived from two main segments: Banking, which generated SGD23.94 million, and Diagnostics, contributing SGD3.91 million.

Cordlife Group faces significant challenges as it navigates through a period of financial instability, marked by a net loss of SGD18.69 million for 2024 and declining revenues.

Recent M&A activity, with Medeze Treasury proposing to acquire an additional stake for SGD6.4 million, reflects some investor interest but also highlights the volatility surrounding Cordlife's share price and operational uncertainties amidst ongoing reviews of test results and legal disputes.
