Material uncertainty over going concern
Auditor notes material uncertainty related to going concern in Note 1, citing reliance on non-legally binding support from parent company AJL. The uncertainty stems from whether required financial support will be provided, casting significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Auditor opinion is not modified.

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
