Mopoli has an outstanding loan to Socfinaf, Afico and Socfin.
As such, management recognizes that the main risk is credit risk regarding the recoverability of the loans.
For this risk, management is willing to accept the risk and does not hedge or mitigate these factors.
No formal risk procedures are implemented to mitigate the identified risks.
The financial half-year ended at 31 December 2019 with a profit of 246,979 Euros versus a profit of 332,015 Euros as at 31 December 2018.
