MHM Metals Limited Directors' report 31 December 2016

The directors present their report, together with the financial statements, on the consolidated entity (referred to hereafter as the 'consolidated entity') consisting of MHM Metals Limited (referred to hereafter as the 'company' or 'parent entity') and the entities it controlled at the end of, or during, the half-year ended 31 December 2016.

Directors

The following persons were directors of MHM Metals Limited during the whole of the financial half-year and up to the date of this report, unless otherwise stated:

Mr Faldi Ismail (Non-Executive Chairman) (appointed 20 December 2016) Mr Bryn Hardcastle (Non-Executive Director) (appointed 20 December 2016) Mr Nicholas Young (Non-Executive Director) (appointed 20 December 2016) Mr Paul Harley (Non-Executive Director) (appointed 2 December 2016 resigned 20 December 2016) Mr Francis DeSouza (Non-Executive Director) (appointed 7 December 2016 resigned 20 December 2016) Mr Joseph van den Elsen (Managing Director) (resigned 20 December 2016) Mr Paul Kopejtka (Non-Executive Chairman) (resigned 1 December 2016) Mr Christopher Goodman (Non-Executive Director) (resigned 1 December 2016)

Principal activities

During the financial half-year the principal continuing activities of the consolidated entity consisted of the review of new opportunities which will provide overall increase to shareholder value.

Review of operations

The loss for the consolidated entity after providing for income tax amounted to $831,289 (31 December 2015: profit of $5,234,741).

The majority of the loss for the period has resulted from the sale of the Company's property, plant and equipment held by its wholly owned subsidary, Alreco Pty Ltd, with a loss of $499,999 being recognised in the current half-year period. The expenses relating to Alreco's operations for the period have been recorded as a discontinued operation.

Working capital, being current assets less current liabilities, was $6,659,977 (30 June 2016: $7,316,356). The consolidated entity had negative cash flows from operating activities for the period amounting to $1,305,795 (2015: positive cash flows from operating activities of $3,625,836),

Significant changes in the state of affairs

During the half-year, the consolidated entity acquired an equity interest in KIN Mining N.L (ASX: KIN). The investment in KIN is consistent with MHM’s strategy of identifying opportunities where MHM’s Financial Position and management experience can be applied to create new business opportunities in the resources sector. Following the acquisition of the equity interest and liaison with ASX, the Company’s securities were placed into suspension and will remain in suspension until such time as the Company has identified a suitable new opportunity and has met any necessary requirements under ASX Listing Rule 11.1 that may apply in relation to that opportunity (including re-complying with Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules, to the extent required).

On 12 October 2016 the Company announced that its wholly subsidiary, Alreco Pty Ltd (Alreco), had entered into a Deed of Settlement and Release (Deed) with Alcoa of Australia Limited (Alcoa) in connection with the lease of the Hays Road property and the associated remediation obligation. The Deed of Settlement and Release was to be effected through payment by Alreco to Alcoa of $1,000,000 and Alcoa’s discharge of its security over a $350,000 bank guarantee and the property at 80 Buckley Grove, Moolap. On 21 October 2016 the Company announced that settlement had been carried out in accordance with the Deed.

On 15 November 2016, the consolidated entity announced that it had entered into a merger term sheet with Alliance Mining Commodities Limited (AMC), a privately owned Bermudan company that owns a 90% interest in the Koumbia bauxite project in Republic of Guinea. On 12 December 2016 the consolidated entity announced that a mutual agreement to terminate the merger term sheet had been agreed with AMC and the proposed transaction was terminated.

On 15 December 2016, Mercantile Investment Company Limited (Mercantile) (ASX: MVT) stated that it intends to make an off-market takeover bid for the shares in MHM.

3

MHM Metals Limited Directors' report 31 December 2016

On 23 December 2016, the Company settled the sale of the property, plant and equipment at 80 Buckley Grove, Moolap for $1. The property, plant and equipment at 80 Buckley Grove had been accounted for in the Company’s 2016 financial statements in the amount of $500,000. The settlement of the property at 80 Buckley Grove finalizes the Company’s interests in the Moolap region and in the aluminium recycling industry.

There were no other significant changes in the state of affairs of the consolidated entity during the financial half-year.

Matters subsequent to the end of the financial half-year

On 11 January 2017, the Company announced that it had received a Bidder's Statement from Mercantile OFM Pty Limited (Mercantile OFM), a wholly owned subsidiary of Mercantile Investment Company Limited (ASX: MVT). The offer being made to shareholders was for a cash consideration of $0.04 (4 cents) per share.

On 12 January 2017, the Company announced that it had settled the sale of the Executive 73 Vessel for net consideration of approximately US $380,000 (AUD $506,566).

No other matter or circumstance has arisen since 31 December 2016 that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect the consolidated entity's operations, the results of those operations, or the consolidated entity's state of affairs in future financial years.

A review of a half-year report involves making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion.

Independence

In conducting our audit, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 .

Conclusion

Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report of MHM Metals Limited is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including:

  • a giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2015 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and

  • b complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and Corporations Regulations 2001.
