Material uncertainty over going concern
We draw attention to Note 2 in the financial statements, which indicates that the Company has incurred losses and reported unsatisfactory trading results during the current and preceding financial years. As stated in Note 2, the Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the successful implementation of management's plans to improve financial performance and achieve forecast trading results. These events or conditions, along with the other matters set out in Note 2, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

Significant events
- “The most immediate risk for BAM is liquidity and working capital as the business experienced an operating cash outflow during the year. The directors have prepared forecasts and cash-flow projections and are implementing cost reductions, operational efficiencies and actions to increase revenue and profitability. Successful delivery of these plans is central to improving cash generation and supporting the company's ongoing development.”
