| Group Strategic Report |
| for the Year Ended 31 January 2026 |
| The directors present their strategic report of the company and the group for the year ended 31 January 2026. |
| REVIEW OF BUSINESS |
| During the year the company's turnover increased by 21.5% from £38,183,938 to £46,387,652 and a profit before taxation of £1,673,396 (2025: £2,137,338) was achieved. |
| Shareholders' funds at 31 January 2026 amounted to £8,854,244 (2025: £7,502,168). The directors consider the state of affairs of the company to be satisfactory. |
| PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES |
| The company's and group's principal exposure to risks are through pricing volatility, both as a result of changes in prices of products and through exchange rate fluctuations, as management are in part reliant on suppliers based overseas. |
| Management are mindful of these key risks to the business and have adopted strategies, which include: continued scrutiny of pricing and rates of exchange; sourcing of products from various suppliers; and management of the purchase cycle. |
| Management also acknowledge exposure to interest rates and credit risks and these are also assessed continuously in order to minimise their impacts. |
| FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS |
| The directors' focus for the coming year is to improve profitability and gross profit margins. |
| The Company continues to develop its operations and has plans to acquire additional premises to increase its storage capacity and reduce reliance on third-party storage providers. Management also intends to utilise part of the premises to generate rental income. The directors expect these developments to support the continued growth and efficiency of the business. |
| KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS |
| The Directors use several Key Performance Indicators to assess the company's strategy and performance. |
| Turnover is closely monitored on a weekly basis and measured against previous periods by total level achieved and by customer. |
| Margins achieved by products line and by customer are also regularly reviewed by management. |
| Driver performance and customer satisfaction are also key metrics used by the business on a regular basis. |

| PRINCIPAL ACTIVITY |

| DIVIDENDS |
| No dividends were declared by the parent company for the year ended 31 January 2026. |

| DIRECTORS |

| DISCLOSURE IN THE STRATEGIC REPORT |
| The group's review of business, principal risks and uncertainties and future developments are disclosed within the strategic report. |
| STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES |
| The directors are responsible for preparing the Group Strategic Report, the Report of the Directors and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. |
| Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law), including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'. Under company law the directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and the group and of the profit or loss of the group for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to: |
| - | select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; |
| - | make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; |
| - | prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business. |
| The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company's and the group's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and the group and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and the group and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. |
| A & J Audhali Enterprises Limited (Registered number: 06505358) |
| Report of the Directors |
| for the Year Ended 31 January 2026 |
| STATEMENT AS TO DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION TO AUDITORS |
| So far as the directors are aware, there is no relevant audit information (as defined by Section 418 of the Companies Act 2006) of which the group's auditors are unaware, and each director has taken all the steps that he ought to have taken as a director in order to make himself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the group's auditors are aware of that information. |
| ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD: |
| Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
| A & J Audhali Enterprises Limited |
| Opinion |
| We have audited the financial statements of A & J Audhali Enterprises Limited (the 'parent company') and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the year ended 31 January 2026 which comprise the Consolidated Income Statement, Consolidated Other Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Balance Sheet, Company Balance Sheet, Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, Company Statement of Changes in Equity, Consolidated Cash Flow Statement and Notes to the Consolidated Cash Flow Statement, Notes to the Financial Statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). |
| In our opinion the financial statements: |
| - | give a true and fair view of the state of the group's and of the parent company affairs as at 31 January 2026 and of the group's profit for the year then ended; |
| - | have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and |
| - | have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. |
| Basis for opinion |
| We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the group in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. |
| Conclusions relating to going concern |
| In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. |
| Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the group's and the parent company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue. |
| Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report. |
| Other information |
| The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the Group Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors, but does not include the financial statements and our Report of the Auditors thereon. |
| Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. |
| In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. |
| Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
| A & J Audhali Enterprises Limited |
| Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006 |
| In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit: |
| - | the information given in the Group Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and |
| - | the Group Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. |
| Matters on which we are required to report by exception |
| In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the group and the parent company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Group Strategic Report or the Report of the Directors. |
| We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: |
| - | adequate accounting records have not been kept by the parent company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or |
| - | the parent company financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or |
| - | certain disclosures of directors' remuneration specified by law are not made; or |
| - | we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. |
| Responsibilities of directors |
| As explained more fully in the Statement of Directors' Responsibilities set out on page three, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the directors determine necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. |
| In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the group's and the parent company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the group or the parent company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. |
| Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
| A & J Audhali Enterprises Limited |
| Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements |
| Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. |
| The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: |
| - minimal reliance was placed upon the operating effectiveness of internal controls in the design and |
| performance of our substantive procedures; |
| - discussions were held with management considering known or suspected non-compliance with laws, |
| regulations and fraud; |
| - journal entries were reviewed for any entries made outside the ordinary reporting processes with particular |
| emphasis on those with unusual account combinations, entries crediting revenue and those without specific |
| descriptions; |
| - management assumptions in their significant accounting estimates were challenged and scrutinised. |
| There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above, and the further removed |
| non-compliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial |
| statements, the less likely we would become aware of it. Also, the risk of not detecting a material misstatement |
| due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate |
| concealment by, for example, forgery or intentional misrepresentations, or through collusion. |
| A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Auditors. |
| Use of our report |
| This report is made solely to the company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company's members those matters we are required to state to them in a Report of the Auditors and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company and the company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed. |

| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
| Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty |
| The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and |
| assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually |
| reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that |
| are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. |
| Accounting estimates: |
| i) Valuation of property |
| The directors annually assess the freehold buildings in the group financial statements, which is treated as investment property in the company’s financial statements. These annual assessments aim to ensure that property is carried at fair value as defined by FRS 102 and will be informed by latest market data. |
| As such, property is not depreciated in the group financial statements as its fair value is believed to be the same as, or not materially different to, its residual value. |
| Accounting judgements: |
| i) Operating leases |
| The Company enters into arrangements under which it has the right to use assets that it does not own |
| and for which it makes ongoing payments. In determining whether such arrangements constitute |
| finance leases or operating leases, management has exercised judgement in assessing whether |
| substantially all of the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the underlying assets are transferred |
| to the Company. Based on this assessment, management has concluded that substantially all of the |
| risks and rewards of ownership remain with the counterparty and accordingly the arrangements are |
| accounted for as operating leases rather than finance leases. |
| Turnover |
| Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable net of returns, VAT and trade discounts. The policies adopted for the recognition of turnover are as follows: |
| Sale of goods |
| Turnover from the sale of goods is recognised when significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have transferred to the buyer, the amount of turnover can be measured reliably, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transactions will flow to the group and the costs incurred in respect of the transactions can be measured reliability. This is usually on delivery of the goods. |
| Tangible fixed assets |
| Improvements to property | - |
| Plant and machinery | - |
| Fixtures and fittings | - |
| Motor vehicles | - |
| Computer equipment | - |
| Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes costs directly attributable to making the asset capable of operating as intended. |
| Freehold buildings within the group are not depreciated as the group assesses for fair value and therefore, their residual value is considered to be equal, or at least not materially different, to the carrying value in the financial statements. |

| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
| Stocks |
| Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost includes all costs of purchase and other costs incurred in bringing stock to its present location and condition, including any import costs, duties and carriage. |
| Financial instruments |
| Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the asset of the company after deducting all of its liabilities. |
| Taxation |
| Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. |
| Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted. |
| Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. |
| Deferred tax |
| Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date. |
| Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference. |
| Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. |
| Hire purchase and leasing commitments |
| Assets obtained under hire purchase contracts or finance leases are capitalised in the balance sheet. Those held under hire purchase contracts are depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Those held under finance leases are depreciated over their estimated useful lives or the lease term, whichever is the shorter. |
| The interest element of these obligations is charged to profit or loss over the relevant period. The capital element of the future payments is treated as a liability. |
| Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits |
| The group operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the group's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate. |
