Material uncertainty over going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, notwithstanding net liabilities of £36,235,000, (2024: £36,235,000), which the directors believe to be appropriate for the following reasons: The directors have prepared cashflow forecasts for the 12-month period to 31 January 2027. The Company is dependent for its working capital on funds provided to it by AJL, the Company's parent. AJL, has provided a letter of support to the Company indicating that for 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements i.e., to 31 January 2027, AJL will continue to provide the necessary financial support to enable the Company to trade and meet its liabilities as they fall due. The directors of the Company acknowledge that there are material uncertainties that may cast doubt upon the Company's ability to continue as a going concern due to the considerations which have been assessed by AJL, as set out in the AJL Group Report for the full year ended 30 June 2025. The directors are of the view that these do not have any impact on AJL's ability to provide the financial support to the Company as set out in the support letter and therefore continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing these financial statements. These financial statements do not contain the adjustments that would result if the Company were unable to continue as a going concern.

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

Significant events
