1. Business activities

Mopoli is a holding company investing in agro industry projects. It currently only invests indirectly by granting loans to related companies. On 30 June 2020 cash loans were provided to each of Socfinaf S.A. ("Socfinaf") and Afico S.A. ("Afico").

The company is listed on Euronext Belgium. The company has no routine business processes and has no employees.

The general meeting of shareholders has authorised the company to buy back its own shares. This program has been active for several years; however the availability of shares is limited. The strategy of the company remains to buy back its own shares in case any shares are offered to the market.

As such, the managing directors recognise that the main risk is credit risk regarding the recoverability of the loans. For this risk, the management board 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.

2. Management board report

2.1. Composition of the management board

Managing directors are appointed, dismissed or suspended by the general meeting of shareholders. They are appointed for a mandate of six years. They can be reappointed. During the financial year 2019/2020 the management board consisted of four members:

Name First nomination End of mandate
Hubert Fabri AGM 1998 AGM 2022
Philippe de Traux AGM 2001 AGM 2020
Daniel Haas AGM 2008 AGM 2020
AFICO represented by Luc Boedt AGM 2014 AGM 2021

There were no changes to the management board during the financial year 2019/2020.

2.2. Business performance

At the closing date, the profit after taxes was EUR 0.56 million and came mainly from:

  • financial earnings (interest): EUR 1.04 million;
  • operational expenses made up of services and various goods: EUR 0.26 million;
  • income tax: FUR 0 22 million

The total equity is EUR 56 million compared to EUR 55 million a year ago.

As of 30 June 2020 the company is highly solvent as equity far exceeds the company's liabilities. The cash flow for this year has been positive. Furthermore, the liquidity position of the company is good and has proven to be stable. As such, the company does not expect any need to obtain external financing in the coming year.

All funds are deposit to ING Bank. The creditworthiness of the bank is verified through the evaluations of credit rating agencies.

2.3. Dividend and dividend policy

The company will not propose to pay any dividend over the financial year 2019/2020.

2.4. Outlook

Earnings will depend the proceeds received for the loans and cash deposits.

2.5. Risk management

Line of guidance

The purpose of the company is the exploitation of palm oil and rubber oil, either directly or indirectly. This is a sector risk and we do not have the skills and knowledge to achieve that goal as a holding company. The current policy is therefore to invest indirectly in this sector.

Business risk

As investor in tropical agro business projects, the company has to deal with potential high risks. That is why the company is not investing directly in the projects but through wellstructured listed companies that have developed the know-how in that business and are designed to manage the risk.

Market risk

There is no market risk since the only activity on 30 June 2020 was the cash loan to Socfinaf and Afico.

Credit risk

In 2014, we entered into a loan agreement with the company Soctinat. We consider this as a limited credit risk since Socfinaf is a listed company with a low debt ratio. Funds are advanced in the context of new investments and a portion of the loan was already repaid. In 2016, a loan was granted to Afico. This is a limited credit risk since the company is a shareholder of Mopoli.

The results of the company depend heavily on the ability of the borrowers to service their debt. This risk has been taken into account, as the companies in question are listed and well managed the risk is deemed reasonable and controlled. That being said, an uncontrollable factor is the market prices of the raw materials that the companies sell; an important and lasting drop in these prices could affect the companies' ability to service the debt. The risk is very low and mitigated thanks to Socfinafs and Afico's geographically diverse presence allowing it to profit from particular market mechanics.

Liquidity risk

Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining cash available for investment opportunities. Mopoli manages cash and short-term deposit according to the needs. Mopoli currently has limited liquidity risk.

Hedging of risks

The policy of the company is not to hedge any of the aforementioned risks.

Modifications

No significant changes are expected to be made to the risk management system.

2.6. Statements of the management board

With reference to section 5.25c DFSA and best practice provision 1.4.3 of the Dutch Corporate Governance Code, the management board states that, to the best of its knowledge:

  • based on the current state of affairs, it is justified that the Financial Statements have been prepared on a going concern basis;
  • this report states those material risks and uncertainties that are relevant to the expectation of the company's continuity for the next period of 12 months;
  • the Financial Statements which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS adopted by the European Union and with Part 9 of Book 2 of the Dutch Civil Code give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and profit or loss of Mopoli;
  • the Management Board report provides a true and fair overview of the situation on the balance sheet date and of developments during the financial year of Mopoli whose information has been included in the Financial Statements, together with a description of the main risks the company faces.

Notes to the Financial Statements

Note 1: Accounting Principles and Methods of Appraisal

A. Corporate information

Palmboomen Cultuur Maatschappij Mopoli (Palmeraies De Mopoli) NV (here after referred to as Mopoli) is a public limited company governed by Dutch law, subject to all legislative texts applicable to commercial companies in the Netherlands. It is registered at the Dutch Chamber of Commerce under number 27035538.

Its registered offices are located at 10, Koningin Julianaplein 2595 AA The Hague, and its administrative headquarters are located at 2, Place du Champ de Mars, 1050 Ixelles. The company is listed on Euronext Brussels.

Mopoli is a holding company investing in agro industry project.

B. Accounting policies

B.1 Basis of preparation

Statement of compliance

In application of European Regulation no. 1606/2002 of 19 July 2002 on International Accounting Standards, the accounts for the 2018-2019 financial period are draw up in conformity with IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards) as adopted by the European Union and with Part 9 of Book 2 of the Dutch Civil Code. This reference system includes the International Accounting Standards and interpretations issued by the International Reporting Interpretation Committee (IFRIC) and its predecessor, the Standard Interpretation Committee (SIC).

The financial statements for an individual entity have been prepared on a historical cost basis.

The board of Directors have authorised the financial statement for issue on 17th December 2020. The financial statements are presented in euros and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand ('000) except when otherwise indicated.

Significant judgments, estimates and assumptions

In the process of applying the company's accounting policies, management may have to use its judgements and made estimates in determining amounts recognised in the financial statements.

A treasury agreement was signed with Socfinaf.

Since the amount paid can be claimed on demand, this transaction has been recognized as a current receivable

Despite the fact that this loan is outstanding since 20th November 2014, we consider it as a current receivable

Indeed, we recovered a substantial portion of this loan in previous years.

Risk Management Policies

Line of Guidance

The purpose of the company is the exploitation of palm oil and rubber oil, either directly or indirectly. This is a sector of risk and we do not have the skills and knowledge to achieve that goal as an operating company.

The current policy is therefore to invest indirectly in this sector.

Business risk

As investor in tropical agro business projects, the company has to deal with potential high risk. That is why the company is not investing directly in the projects but through well structured listed companies that have developed the know-how in that business and are designed to manage the risk.

Market risk

There is no market risk since the only activity at 30 June 2020 is the cash loan to Socfinaf, Afico and Socfin.

Credit risk

In 2014, we have entered into a loan agreement with the company Socfinaf. We consider this as a limit credit risk since Socfinaf is a listed company with a low debt ratio. Funds are advanced in the context of new investments and a portion of the loan was already repaid.

In 2016, a loan was granted to Afico. This is a limited credit risk since the company is a shareholder of Mopoli.

A loan was also granted to Socfin this year but was fully repaid in October 2019. This is a limited credit risk since Socfin is a listed company with a low debt ratio.

Liquidity risk

Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining cash available for investment opportunities. Mopoli manages cash and short term deposit according to the needs. Mopoli currently has limited liquidity risk.

Hedging of risks

The policy of the company is not to hedge any of the aforementioned risks.

Modifications

No significant changes are expected to be made to the risk management system.

C. Summary of significant accounting policies

Conversion of foreign currency transactions

No foreign currency transactions occurred and was subject to conversion. The functional currency is the euro.

Revenue recognition

Interest revenue is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest rate. Dividends from investment are accounted upon establishment of the right of the shareholders to receive payment.

Financial charges

The cost includes the interest charged on the debt.

Income taxes

The Company calculates current taxes on income in compliance with the applicable tax legislation. According to IAS 12 standard "Income Taxes", any temporary difference between the accounting values of the assets and liabilities and their taxes bases will give rise to the computation of a deferred tax, according to the variable carry-forward method, using the tax rate adopted, or substantively-adopted, at balance sheet date. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available. This assessment is made annually.

Derecognition of financial assets and liabilities

Financial assets

The loans granted are valued at amortized cost.

A Financial asset (or, where applicable a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is derecognised when:

  • the rights to receive cash flow the asset have expired;

  • the Company retains the right to receive cash flows from the asset, but has assumed an obligation to pay them in full without material delay to a third party under a 'pass through' arrangement; or

  • the Company has transferred its right to receive cash flows from the asset and either (a) has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.

When the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset and has neither transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset nor transferred control of the asset, the asset is recognised to the extent of the Company's continuing involvement in the asset. Continuing involvement that takes the form of a guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the lower of the original carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration that the Company could be required to repay.

Financial liabilities

A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires.

Other receivables

Trade and other accounts receivables are current financial assets initially recognized at fair value; this generally corresponds to the nominal value, in the absence of a significant discounting effect. Upon each closing, the receivables are appraised at amortized cost, minus any losses in value taking account of any possible risk of non-collection.

Cash assets and cash-equivalents

Cash and cash-equivalents consist of cash in hand, bank balances and short-term deposits in money market instruments. These investments, with maturities less than three months, are easily convertible into cash, and are subject to negligible risks of changes in value and risks of nontransferability.

Segment reporting

No segment reporting is disclosed, since the business segment is unique, i.e., finance, and since the geographical segment is also unique (Belgian).

Cash flow statement

The cash flow statement is prepared by using the indirect method. The cash flow statement distinguishes operating, investing and financing activities. When applicable, cash flows in foreign currencies are converted at the average rates during the reporting period. Currency exchange differences are separately presented. Payments and receipts of corporate taxes as well as financial income (dividend, interest) and expenses are included in cash flows from operating activities. Cash flows resulting from acquisitions/divestures of financial interests in subsidiaries are included in cash flows from investments activities, net of cash acquired. Dividends paid are part of the cash flow from financing activities.

Treasurv shares

Own equity instruments which are reacquired (treasury shares) are deducted from equity. No gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the Company's own equity instruments.

The common shares are entitled to a 5% interest distribution on the subscribed and fully paid share capital (2020: EUR 112k, 2019: EUR 113k). After this allocation 50% of the remaining Net profit is allocated to common shares (2020: EUR 223k, 2019: EUR 268k) and 40% is allocated to founder shares (2020: EUR 178k, 2019: EUR 214k). The remainder is not allocated, as when the AGM decides to pay out dividend the Board of Directors is entitled to 10% of the dividend.

It should also be noted that, in case of liquidation, the Board of Directors is not entitled to any remaining balances. In this case the EPS will exceed the above calculation. For further details we refer to the Statutory Provisions Concerning The Distribution of Profit, as included in the other information to these financial statements. The last time Mopoli paid out dividend was in 2001.

7. OTHER INFORMATION

STATUTORY PROVISIONS CONCERNING THE DISTRIBUTION OF PROFIT (TRANSLATION)

Statutory provisions covered in article 12, for as long as they are applicable, state that:* 1. The Meeting, under article 14, decides what amortisations to apply.

  1. After deduction of the aforementioned amortisations/ depreciation, at first a 7% dividend amount over the subscribed and paid preferred shares will be paid to the preferred shareholders. The annual dividend payment on these preferred shares will never exceed 7%.

  2. Of the amount after this distribution to preferred shareholders if possible:

a) an amount of 5% will be used to add to a reserve. As soon (and as long) as this reserve is 10% of the issued and paid up capital, no additional profits can be reserved for this purpose.

b) After this an amount will be due as a 5% interest amount on the subscribed and paid common shares

  1. The remaining profit after the aforementioned deductions and dividend payments will be distributed as follows:

10% to the Board of Directors 50% to the common shareholders 40% to founder shareholders

  1. However, the Ordinary Annual Meeting of Shareholders can decide upon request of the Board of Directors that the 50% intended for ordinary shareholders will be fully or partially transferred to a special account or will be allocated to a special reserve.

  2. The date on which the dividend amounts are payable, will be decided by the ordinary shareholders meeting.

  3. Dividend amounts which are not claimed, five years after the date on which the dividend amount have been declared payable, will be released and booked as profit and loss account of the entity.

  4. When a loss is recorded according to the income statement, which can not be compensated by any other reserve, no dividend payments will take place, as long as these losses are not compensated first.

Statutory provisions covered in article 22, for as long as they are applicable, state that:

The remaining balance after liquidation will at first and for all be used to repay the paid capital of the preferred shareholders including the arrears of the annual 7% dividend due on those preferred shares. After this the remaining balance will be used to repay the paid up capital to the common shareholders.

In case any balances remain after the distributions stated above, this will be distributed as follows: 55% to common shareholders; 45% to founder shareholders.

The payments will be made at the time and place to be determined by the ordinary shareholder meeting.

* As an interpretation of the above we distribute profits by paying out the 7% dividend on the preferred shares and adding the remainder of the result for the year to the retained earnings.
