AMERICA METALS TRADING LLP

Directors' report period ended 31 December 2023

The directors present their report with the financial statements of the company for the period ended 31 December 2023

Principal activities of the company

The Members, at the time of approval of these financial statements, despite some recent success in negotiating part of its liabilities and recover some seized assets do not consider the LLP to be a going concern due to the inability of the LLP to repay the remaining of its outstanding loans if demanded. During late 2012 the business experienced some cash flow difficulties linked to the economic downturn and a slowdown in demand for pig iron that impacted a number of producers in Brazil which included trading parties related to America Metals Trading LLP. Following this development, and the existence of consequent legal disputes that subsequently arose, America Metals Trading LLP effectively suspended its trade of the purchase and sale of metals/trading materials in the steel and casting market from late 2012 and has continued to do so up to the current date at which these financial statements are being finalised. The Members continue to explore resolution of the current legal disputes including (i) negotiation of substantial discounts to settle outstanding loans, (ii) recovering assets such as receivables and advances to former suppliers in Brazil and abroad, (iii) exploring the possibility of restoring future production opportunities to recommence operations and seek opportunities for new sources of finance. Despite of these initiatives, at this stage, the Members are not able to establish this with any certainty. Accordingly the accounts have been prepared on a cessation basis rather than as a going concern. Where considered necessary, the Members have made adjustment to the carrying value of assets and liabilities to reflect the preparation of the financial statements on a cessation basis. Where appropriate, adjustment has been made to impair the carrying value of investments against the non-recoverability of amounts due to the LLP where no evidence of payment has been noted since the period end. Furthermore, the members have evaluated the carrying value of liabilities and accrued for estimated interest due on outstanding debt. The Members do not consider there to be any further additional liabilities to be recognised as at the year-end in respect of the preparation of the financial statements on a cessation basis but note that the ongoing legal disputes give rise to an uncertainty and contingent liabilities which, at this stage cannot be quantified.

Additional information

The LLP enters into basic financial instruments transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like such as trade and other receivable, accruals, investments, trade and other payables. Short term receivables are measured at transaction price, less any impairment, Investments are measured at their expected recovery cost. Short term payables are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities, including bank loans, are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. In the last 5 years the Members have been able to negotiate and settle over USD 40 mln in liabilities against former Clients and Bank. The Company continues to carry on negotiations with the other lenders in order to further reduce its liabilities. While such liabilities remain outstanding the interest and penalties continues to be accrued and recorded net of short term receivables, cash and investments.
