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
Ratios
Computed from the line items above — sparklines read oldest → newest
| Ratio | Trend | 2019-12-31 | 2020-12-31 | 2023-12-31 | 2024-12-31 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Return on capital employed | — | — | -17.6% | -9.4% | |
| Gearing (liabilities / total assets) | — | — | 10.9% | 4.7% | |
| Current ratio | — | — | 0.89x | 1.54x | |
| Interest cover | — | — | -792.11x | -1359.41x |
Gearing is liabilities over total assets. Current ratio is current assets over creditors falling due within one year. Interest cover is operating profit over absolute finance costs. Margin ratios are hidden where reported turnover is too small relative to profit to yield a meaningful figure — typical of holding companies whose income is mostly subsidiary dividends rather than trading revenue. Sector-distribution context coming next.

- Affirmed
“The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis. This contemplates the realisation of the assets and liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The company's ultimate holding company, Thalassa Holdings Ltd, has agreed to provide financial support and not demand repayment to enable the company to meet its future liabilities as they fall due. A letter confirming this has been obtained.”
Significant events
- “The company incurred rent charges of £5,000 during the year for trading premises from Eastleigh Court Limited which was subsequently released upon surrendering the lease in June 2024. ARL subsequently relocated to new premises in Southampton.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
