Here's a snapshot of the forensic science market. Its just one police force from 43 in England and Wales, just one financial year. They have an in-house laboratory, their use of external private FSPs reflect that. This is how they use private providers to fulfill their needs. 1/2

Fewer crime scenes being processed, leads to this...and this is a very poor outcome.
Higher costs, longer delays. The system is so broken. For more see my substack. /10 / ends

when the dominant forensic science provider in England and Wales, starts calling itself the dominant forensic science provider, you know that's a signal of how they feel about themselves.

there's a common theme in these cases of forensic scientists predicting the likely negative outcome of examinations without doing them. The profession needs to acknowledge that predictions of outcomes of laboratory examinations are perhaps not our forte.

3 months later, December 2017, it disappears from the asset register, the accounts claiming there was no Goodwill at incorporation /2

Goodwill (Hunting), when Eurofins Forensic Limited bought LGC Forensics in 2017, the purchase generated £21 million of Goodwill (Intangible Assets). /1

2017 The first year of the accounts of Eurofins Forensic Services Limited and I'm struggling to understand a few things, but I thought I'd start with this. /1

Nothing like moving into a new office to give you a different view of your accounts, eh? It must have been some mess to warrant a clean-up of that scale. /7

This new acquistion of the RapidHitDNA assets fell within the following financial year 2018. /4

EFS describe this event in their first published accounts for FY 2017: /3

The administrator of Key Forensics had them valued them as "worthless" , see below. So it appears that Eurofins were forced to buy £3million of scrap metal and plastic that no-one wanted. /2

Final tally of bail out by MOPAC (Mayor's Office for Policing and Crime) on behalf of the NPCC and via the MPS, (I know right) was £1,822,096.32. /2

tick tock ⏰ 🚨 👀
Eurofins buying back shares relentlessly but share price tanking again today.
If the market reacts negatively to the earnings on Jan 30 this could get ugly. /1

Eurofins have published Cellmark Forensic Service's (Orchid Cellmark Ltd) accounts for FY 2023 and revealed the scale of the funding that they put in to the company to keep it afloat.

Yikes. Total losses 2021-2023 £10.1 million /1
