Key Audit Matters ________________________________________________________

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in the audit of the annual accounts of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the annual accounts as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Recoverability of property, plant and equipment

See note 6 to the annual accounts

Key audit matter

How the matter was addressed in our audit

The Company has made considerable investments which are mainly related to increasing the production capacity of the Company, and accordingly, property, plant and equipment totalled Euros 96,496,343 at 31 December 2022, the recoverability of which depends on the Company's capacity to generate future cash flows and to fulfil its business plan.

The Company evaluates whether there are indications of possible impairment losses on the aforementioned assets. As the aforementioned estimates require value judgements, and because of the inherent uncertainty associated with them and the significance of the carrying amount of these assets, this has been considered a key audit matter.

Our audit procedures in respect of the recoverability of property, plant and equipment included the following:

  • Evaluating the process, design and implementation of the key controls established by the Company for assessing the recoverability of property plant and equipment.
  • Assessing the documentation supporting the indications of impairment analysis performed by the Company.
  • Cross-checkingof the performance of the Company in 2022 with the budget for the same period.
  • We also assessed whether the disclosures in the annual accounts meet the requirements of the applicable financial reporting framework.

Recoverability of non-current investments in Group companies and associates

See notes 8 and 19 to the annual accounts

Key audit matter

How the matter was addressed in our audit

The Company has recognised significant investments under non-current investments in Group companies and associates amounting to Euros 30,558,176, the recoverability of which depends on the capacity of the project of Latemaluminum, S.A., in which it holds an interest through Latem Global Trading, S.A., and the Company's own capacity, to generate future cash flows, and on fulfilment of its business plan.

At each reporting date the Company assesses whether there are indications of impairment, and evaluates the recoverable amount of the aforementioned investments in Group companies and associates where necessary. Due to the inherent uncertainty associated with these assumptions and estimates, and the significance of the carrying amount of these assets, this has been considered a key audit matter.

Our audit procedures on the recoverability of non- current investments in Group companies and associates included the following:

  • Evaluating the process, design and implementation of the key controls established by the Company for assessing the recoverability of investments in Group companies.
  • Assessing the documentation supporting the indications of impairment analysis performed by the Company.
  • Cross-checkingthe Company's performance in 2022, and that of the other companies in which it holds an interest, with the budgets for the same period.
  • Moreover, we assessed whether the disclosures in the annual accounts meet the requirements of the applicable financial reporting framework.
