While technically insolvent with net liabilities of £2.4m and a perilously thin cash balance of just £4k, these metrics reflect intercompany financial structuring (a £2.6m creditor to the parent) rather than operational failure. However, the halving of gross margins from 28.7% to 13.25% and breakeven profitability signal genuine margin compression that warrants attention, and the recent mass resignation of four directors raises governance continuity concerns for an entity entirely dependent on parental support.","website":"http://longmoor-security.com","links":{"page":"https://www.companiesintheuk.co.uk/ltd/longmoor-security","people":"https://www.companiesintheuk.co.uk/company/longmoor-security/people","filing_history":"https://www.companiesintheuk.co.uk/company/longmoor-security/filing-history","companies_house":"https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/05428232","financials":"https://www.companiesintheuk.co.uk/company/longmoor-security/financial","control":"https://www.companiesintheuk.co.uk/company/longmoor-security/control","charges":"https://www.companiesintheuk.co.uk/company/longmoor-security/charges","ai_analysis":"https://www.companiesintheuk.co.uk/company/longmoor-security/analysis"},"source":"CompaniesInTheUK, from Companies House, The Gazette and other public registers (see /support/about).
