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

- Affirmed
“The company meets its working capital requirements through its cash resources and operating cash flows supported by funding facilities. The financial forecasts prepared and post year end trading performance indicate that the company will maintain sufficient financial headroom to enable it to continue meeting its liabilities as they fall due in the normal course of business for at least the next twelve months following approval of these financial statements. Notwithstanding any further potential ongoing impact on the company's financial performance and position beyond that already anticipated by the forecasts, the company maintains net funds, working capital and confirmed funding facilities which the directors consider are sufficient to fully mitigate the risks which remain due to the current economic environment. The directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate financial and other resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, they continue to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “LTS's order book increased throughout 2024, winning some larger contracts which provides a pipeline of work into 2027. These contracts mainly started in the latter part of 2024. This is reflected in the decrease in turnover in the year from £50.0m in 2023 to £37.6m in 2024. However costs have been managed well in 2024, which is reflected in the increase in gross margin in the year from 6.01% in 2023 to 8.47% in 2024.”
- “The performance of LTS for the 2024 year to the point of signing these financial statements has been good and the current order book indicates that the 2025 financial year should see positive growth in the financial performance of the company.”
