ArcelorMittal is a steel and mining company with a global presence in more than 60 countries. It is a leader in major global carbon steel markets such as automotive, construction, and household appliances to name a few.

Mr. Lakshmi N. Mittal, Chairman and CEO of ArcelorMittal, started in the steel industry by building his first steel plant in Indonesia in 1976.

As of December 31, 2010 Total current liabilities were 30,723 compared to 23,491 in 2009. Part of ArcelorMittal’s current liability stems from a 3.2 billion term loan repayment due in 2011 from its credit facility. It has begun to make a goal of reducing debt by delaying near term payments on debt through refinancing and by modifying the terms of its repayment contracts. Accounts payable is the largest current liability at 13,256 for the year ending 2010 compared to 10,676 in 2009. The increase is due to increase in transactions with related parties that include associates and joint ventures with the company.

After reviewing the Balance sheet I have a concern regarding the Current and short term liabilities. Creditors/ trade payable is payment yet to be made for goods already received, if this continues to rise then it will effect the business profit and less stock will have to be ordered so repayments can be made. Bank overdrafts also continued to rise and in the long-term the business will be paying greater interest, which will again eat into the profit. Both increased quite a great deal from the last year-end. If this continues then the business will get into bad debts and owe too much that it will end up having to sale its assets to survive. Finally I can see that due to the above issues and other issues the net current assets/ working capital has decreased so therefore the business is less value then it was a year ago. If the business is worth £1 million now, this could soon decrease within another year.
However, in 2009 revenues declined to $4.5 million along with net cash flows from all activities declining in 2009 as well. Overall capital expenditures for the company have been continually increasing by 26% each year. Milton had planned on borrowing $20 million in the fourth quarter of 2010 from
“Levi Coffin Describes Margaret Garner’s Attempt to Escape Slavery” is a story about a slave named Margaret Garner, who attempted to escape slavery in the winter of 1856. The story took place in Boone County, Kentucky – a slave state and Cincinnati, Ohio - where slavery is illegal. The author, Levi Coffin, a prosperous Quaker and abolitionist, who was an active leader in the Underground Railroad network that helped thousands of fugitive slaves escape to freedom. He was a religious man and an opponent of African American slavery and felt it was his duty to feed the hungry and clothe the naked, no matter the color of the person. Several years after slavery was abolished in America, Coffin was encouraged by many of his friends to write his memoir of how Margaret Garner was driven to kill her child and attempt to kill her other three children and herself. It is the heartbreaking honesty in this act of brutality which displays what the lives of slaves were like; This shows how far an enslaved mother will go to protect her children from the pain they would endure if taken back to slavery.

largest percentage changes on Lockheed Martin’s balance sheet is the 16% vertical increase in ‘Other Liabilities’ (Other Non-Current Liabilities). This portion of the balance sheet contains payable liabilities in the future such as environmental cleanups and proceedings ($1.0B recorded in accordance with the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act), expected pension payments, and deferred compensation plans. As obligations listed in this account are normally contractual or mandatory, it will be hard for the company to reduce the amount. What the company can instead do is to transfer some amount under prepaid expenses, thereby erasing some liabilities while fulfilling some pension and compensation obligations.
These driving forces very easily impact the steel industry’s competitive structure in a bad way. These driving forces make it very difficult for steel companies to compete in this industry.
