  • Strongly placed for growth with a defined growth strategy in place to build a leading West African focused palm oil producer

Post Period-End Highlights

  • Major increase in monthly CPO production post period end following the implementation of a logistics strategy to facilitate delivery of smallholder feedstock to the Mill

o  Post period end CPO production between Jan and April 2015 has already surpassed FY 2014 14,242 tonnes of CPO produced - includes record monthly production of 4,818 tonnes for April 2015

  • Contract signed for construction and commissioning of kernel crushing plant to add another significant revenue stream - expected to be operational at Ayenouan in Q4 2015

Executive Director Lincoln Moore said, "2014 saw DekelOil transform into an operator of a producing, cash flow positive and vertically integrated palm oil project.  This now includes one of West Africa's largest extraction mills, a state of the art nursery, approximately 2,000 hectares of company-owned plantations, and long term contracts covering 27,000 hectares of mature estates owned by local smallholders.  We are focused on maximising profitability at Ayenouan by increasing CPO production towards the Mill's 70,000 tonnes annual capacity, constructing a kernel crushing plant to add another significant revenue stream, and planting more company-owned estates.  Excellent progress is being made on all three fronts: CPO production during the period January and April 2015 has already surpassed 2014's total; the kernel plant is on course to commence operations in Q4 2015; and we will be adding to our planted estates.  In line with management expectations, we expect to report significant growth in terms of production and revenues,  and to report our first meaningful full year profits in 2015, as we use the excellent platform we have put in place to build a leading West African focused palm oil producer."

Annual General Meeting ("AGM")

Extracts from the Annual Report and Accounts are set out below:

CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT

DekelOil's achievements and experience gained in 2014 have set the scene for a prosperous 2015.  In a short period of time we have built a vertically integrated palm oil production company.  We have established an impressive asset base at our first project, Ayenouan, which includes a world class nursery, approximately 1,900 ha of Company estates and one of West Africa's largest CPO extraction mills.  The commissioning of the Mill in March 2014 was a key value milestone for DekelOil, and since then our focus operationally has been to implement a range of logistical initiatives which have successfully delivered record production from this project for Q1 2015.  With 2015 production already surpassing 2014's at the end of April, we are excited to update shareholders on our progress over the coming months and I am confident that our investment case will be characterised by growth, thanks to our Board and team's focus on optimisation and innovation.  

Our corporate achievements have strengthened our position dramatically.  Not only do we now have three off-take agreements in place for CPO, thereby diversifying our sales reach, but we also maximise the profits from these sales due to our full exemption from corporation tax for a period of 13 years, which has a positive effect on our financials.  

We signed a construction agreement in respect to the commissioning of a kernel crushing plant at Ayenouan.  The kernel crushing plant has a very attractive investment return profile and will materially increase profitability at the Ayenouan project.  In addition, our 1,900 hectares of planted company-owned land surrounding our first Mill are now producing fresh fruit bunches ("FFB"), which will have a positive impact on our margins.  We are also now turning our attention to our second property, Guitry, which covers 24,000 hectares of brownfield land estates.  Eventual production here will be derived from company-owned estates. 

The palm oil industry has been highly active in terms of corporate activity over recent months, and as an established West African producer with a large and contiguous land package this has positive read across to our value.  Global demand for CPO is estimated increase substantially, and with this in mind, four of the world's largest palm oil companies; Wilmar, Sime Darby, KLK and Golden Agri, have entered West Africa. Several noteworthy transactions have been undertaken across the sector in recent months and notably, despite being one of the most advanced junior CPO producers in the region, DekelOil is currently one of the only established palm oil developers not in partnership or subject to takeover by a major Asian palm oil company. 

Operations Review

Ayenouan is our primary project in which we have a 51% interest.  This project is based around a 60 t/hr Mill which represents one of West Africa's largest and a 1 million plant nursery, which provide high quality plants to our smallholders and our own land.  The project operates in tandem with local small holder estates, which currently supply the majority of the raw material for the Mill and we have also planted c. 1,900 ha of company plantations, which are now beginning to yield. 

Production

2014 saw us meet our objective to transform DekelOil into a revenue generative, crude palm oil producer when our Mill commenced operations in March.  Having hit this momentous milestone, we have been, and continue to be focused on increasing production. Our priority has been to create a seamless logistics solution which simplifies the delivery process of FFB to our Mill from local smallholders.  We established an initial logistics hub ahead of first production which accounted for approximately half of the fruit processed during March.  Building on its immediate success, we rapidly set up a second and third logistics hub.  We also expanded our company-owned truck fleet to 24 from 9 to operate alongside local truck contractors.

Total production for the period 1 March 2014 to 31 December 2014 stood at 14,242 tonnes of crude palm oil and 2,504 tonnes of kernels.  CPO was extracted at a rate of 22.7% during the period from 62,662 tonnes of FFB, which compares favourably to other CPO extraction mills.  While production for the 9 months of operation was slightly below our anticipations, the measures implemented in 2014 have reaped rewards for us at the beginning of 2015 and I am confident that we are on a path to dramatically lift production in 2015, our first full year of operations. 

In 2015, we produced 14,496 tonnes of CPO from January to April, which means we have already surpassed our total production for 2014.  This included record monthly production of 4,818 tns of CPO in April.  With high season production continuing into June, we are well placed to produce more than 20,000tn for the half year.  This excellent result validates the hard work we have put into to our logistics infrastructure and our customer relations activities with the small holders and cooperatives.

Sales

During the period March to December 2014, sales of palm oil stood at 13,900 tonnes at an average price per tonne of €647 (c.US$861).  Although the CPO price has weakened slightly as a result of the fall in oil prices, strong local and regional demand has enabled DekelOil to sell its CPO at a premium to CIF Rotterdam CPO prices and we expect this trend to continue.  2,444 tonnes of kernel were sold at €183(US$220) per tonne ex-Mill. The remainder of our revenue was derived from the sale of nursery plants. Our financial results as a result of this can be found below. 

Notably, we experienced success in respect to the implementation of our sales strategy to diversify our customer base during the period and signed off-take agreements with three companies for sale locally.  While the company also sold to Société d'Investissement pour l'Agriculture Tropicale ('SIAT'), an agro-industrial group of companies, represents the Company's first sales for export. 

Expansion

In terms of the new kernel crushing plant at Ayenouan, the contract was awarded to Modipalm Engineering SDN BHD who also constructed our existing 60tn/hr palm oil mill.  The new kernel crushing plant is expected to materially increase profitability at the Ayenouan project by allowing both Palm Kernel Oil and animal feed to be sold in the local market at the factory gate.  With a low capex requirement of approximately €1.1 million, the plant has highly attractive payback credentials. 

The Company is also planning to continue its planting programme at Ayenouan to add to the 1,900 ha of plantations already planted.  A further 500 hectares will be planted in the near term close to the Mill.  The initial 1,900 ha are beginning to produce FFB and will be delivered to the Mill in addition to the smallholder production.  Naturally production from this Company-owned land will be delivered at a higher margin, thereby positively affecting our bottom line going forward.  The Company has a medium term objective to plant a further 5,000 hectares in Ayenouan. 

Financial

During the period total sales amounted to €9,973 thousands (31 December 2013: €465,000), a net loss after tax of 2,562 thousands (31 December 2014: €1,467 thousands) and EBITDA of €167 thousands.     

During the period, we successfully raised a total of £2.2 million.  An initial £700,000 was raised to welcome two high profile African focused funds including Nubuke as shareholders, in line with our strategy to increase the institutional representation on our register.  The balance was raised to construct the Kernel Crushing Plant.

Outlook

We are proud of our achievements over the year which have seen us transform into a revenue generative and scalable palm oil producer.  Our logistics solutions are paying off and we have positioned ourselves ideally for the current peak harvesting season.  By this time next year, we will have matured further with more company owned estates planted; our own FFBs contributing to production at Ayenouan and an operational Kernel Crushing Plant which we expect will deliver our first full year profit result.  Whilst we have significant organic profit growth to be delivered in the next 1-3 years from our existing operations, we remain focused on expanding our operations into different regions including our 24,000ha land position in Guitry and potentially into Western Ghana.  Our visions remains to build one of the largest palm oil companies in West Africa and we believe we have the operational foundations and the proven management team to execute this medium to long term strategy.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank our shareholders for their support and look forward to another transformative year as we focus on solidifying our position in this highly attractive palm oil region.

NOTE 1:-   GENERAL

a.     Dekeloil Public Limited ("the Company") is a public limited company incorporated in Cyprus on 24 October 2007. The Company is engaged through its subsidiaries in developing and cultivating palm oil plantations in Cote d'Ivoire for the purpose of producing and marketing Crude Palm Oil ("CPO"). The Company's registered office is in Limassol, Cyprus.

b.       CS DekelOil Siva Ltd. ("DekelOil SIVA") was incorporated in Cyprus on 7 November 2008. At present, 51% of the issued shares in DekelOil SIVA are owned by DekelOil Public Limited while the remaining 49% of the issued shares are owned by Biopalm Energy Limited ("Biopalm") (see also Note 12b).

d.       The Company established a subsidiary in Cote d'Ivoire, DekelOil CI SA, currently held 99.85%, by DekelOil SIVA. DekelOil CI SA was incorporated in March 2008. DekelOil CI SA is engaged in developing and cultivating palm oil plantations for the purpose of producing and marketing CPO. DekelOil CI SA constructed and is currently operating its first palm oil mill.

e.       On 22 January 2008, DekelOil Consulting Ltd was established in Israel. This company, which is presently a wholly-owned subsidiary of DekelOil SIVA, is engaged in providing services to the Company and its subsidiaries.

f.       On 18 March 2013, the Company completed its Initial Public Offering ("IPO") on the AIM, a market operated by the London Stock Exchange ("the AIM"), by issuing 170 million Ordinary shares at a price of £ 0.01 per share for a total consideration of £ 1.7   million. Concurrently, upon Admission of its Share Capital to trading on the AIM and pursuant to an agreement dated 12 March 2013, the Company acquired, in consideration for the issuance of 100 million Ordinary shares, 100% of Boletus Resources Ltd. ("Boletus"). Boletus is an unquoted investment company which at the date of acquisition had cash and other assets (principally admission costs advanced by Boletus on behalf of the Company) in the approximate amount of € 650 thousand. The net proceeds received by the Company from the aforementioned (after Admission costs of approximately €529 thousand) amount to approximately € 2.01 million (see also Note 15).  

g.       As of 31 December 2014, the Company has a working capital deficiency of € 2.6 million. In the years ended 31 December 2014 and 2013, the Company incurred a net loss of approximately € 2.7 million and € 1.5 million, respectively and had negative cash flows from operations of approximately € 0.5 million and € 1 million, respectively.

In 2014 the Company completed the construction of its palm oil extraction mill and commenced production and sale of palm oil. In 2014, the mill generated positive cash flows from its operations, and in the first four months of 2015, the Company has already generated positive cash flows and exceeded its production for all of 2014. Company's management expects the positive cash flows to continue to grow as the mill increases its production capacity. However, as this has been the first year of the mill's operations, there is no certainty that the mill will be able to meet the Company's projections as to increased production and positive cash flows from such production. Furthermore, the operations of the mill are subject to various market conditions that are not under the Company's control that could have an adverse effect on the Company's cash flows.  

NOTE 1:-   GENERAL (Cont).

Based on the Company's current resources and its projected cash flows from its operations. Company management believes that it will have sufficient funds necessary to finance its operations and meet its obligations as they come due at least for the next twelve months from the date the financial statements are approved.

h.       Definitions:

The Group - DEKELOIL PUBLIC LIMITED and its subsidiaries.
The Company - DEKELOIL PUBLIC LIMITED.
Subsidiaries - Companies that are controlled by the Company- CS DekelOil SIVA Ltd, DekelOil CI SA, DekelOil Consulting Ltd.

NOTE 2:-   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following accounting policies have been applied consistently in the financial information for all periods presented, unless otherwise stated.

a.       Basis of presentation of the financial statements:

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union ("IFRS").

The financial statements have been prepared on a cost basis, except for biological assets and financial liability for warrant which are measured at fair value.

The Company has elected to present profit or loss items using the nature of expense method.

b.  Consolidated financial statements:

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of companies that are controlled by the Company (subsidiaries). Control is achieved when the Company is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Potential voting rights are considered when assessing whether an entity has control. The consolidation of the financial statements commences on the date on which control is obtained and ends when such control ceases.

NOTE 2:-   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

The financial statements of the Company and of the subsidiaries are prepared as of the same dates and periods. The consolidated financial statements are prepared using uniform accounting policies by all companies in the Group. Significant intragroup balances and transactions and gains or losses resulting from intragroup transactions are eliminated in full in the consolidated financial statements.

Non-controlling interests in subsidiaries represent the equity in subsidiaries not attributable, directly or indirectly, to a parent. Non-controlling interests are presented in equity separately from the equity attributable to the equity holders of the Company. Profit or loss and components of other comprehensive income are attributed to the Company and to non-controlling interests. Losses are attributed to non-controlling interests even if they result in a negative balance of non-controlling interests in the consolidated statement of financial position.

c.       Functional currency, presentation currency and foreign currency:

1.       Functional currency and presentation currency:

The local currency used in Cote d'Ivoire is the West African CFA Franc ("FCFA"), which has a fixed exchange rate with the Euro (Euro 1 = FCFA 655.957). A substantial portion of the Group's revenues and expenses is incurred in or linked to the Euro. The group obtains debt financing mostly in FCFA linked to Euros and the funds of the Group are held in FCFA. Therefore, the Company's management has determined that the Euro is the currency of the primary economic environment of the Group, and thus its functional and presentation currency.

2.       Transactions, assets and liabilities in foreign currency:

Transactions denominated in foreign currency are recorded upon initial recognition

at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. After initial recognition, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are translated at each reporting date into the functional currency at the exchange rate at that date. Exchange rate differences, other than those capitalized to qualifying assets or accounted for as hedging transactions in equity, are recognized in profit or loss. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency and measured at cost are translated at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency and measured at fair value are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rate prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined.

NOTE 2:-   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

d        Cash equivalents:

Cash equivalents are considered as highly liquid investments, including unrestricted short-term bank deposits with an original maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition.

e.       Financial instruments:

1.       Loans and receivables:

Loans and receivables are investments with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Loans and receivables are initially recognized at fair value plus directly attributable transaction costs.

After initial recognition, loans are measured based on their terms at amortized cost using the effective interest method and less any impairment losses. Short-term receivables are measured based on their terms, normally at face value.

2.     Financial liabilities:

Financial liabilities are initially recognized at fair value. Loans and other liabilities measured at amortized cost are presented net of directly attributable transaction costs.

After initial recognition, the accounting treatment of financial liabilities is based on their classification as follows:

a)       Financial liabilities at amortized cost:

After initial recognition, loans and other liabilities are measured based on their terms at cost less directly attributable transaction costs using the effective interest method.

b)       Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss:

After initial recognition, derivatives (warrants) are measured at fair value and the changes in fair value are recorded in profit or loss.

NOTE 2:-   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

3.       Derecognition of financial instruments:

a)       Financial assets:

A financial asset is derecognized when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or the Company has transferred its contractual rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset or assumes an obligation to pay the cash flows in full without material delay to a third party and has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.

b)       Financial liabilities:

A financial liability is derecognized when it is extinguished, that is when the obligation is discharged or cancelled or expires. A financial liability is extinguished when the debtor (the Group) discharges the liability by paying in cash, other financial assets, goods or services; or is legally released from the liability.

4.       Extinguishing financial liabilities with equity instruments:

Equity instruments issued to extinguish a financial liability to shareholders are measured at the carrying amount of the financial liability extinguished.

f.       Borrowing costs:

The Group capitalizes borrowing costs that are attributable to the acquisition, construction, or production of qualifying assets which necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale.

The capitalization of borrowing costs commences when expenditures for the asset are incurred, the activities to prepare the asset are in progress and borrowing costs are incurred and ceases when substantially all the activities to prepare the qualifying asset for its intended use or sale are complete. The amount of borrowing costs capitalized in a reporting period includes specific borrowing costs and general borrowing costs based on a weighted capitalization rate.

g.       Leases:

The criteria for classifying leases as finance or operating leases depend on the substance of the agreements and are made at the inception of the lease in accordance with the following principles as set out in IAS 17.

NOTE 2:-   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

The Group as lessee:

1.       Finance leases:

Finance leases transfer to the Group substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of the leased asset. At the commencement of the lease term, the leased assets are measured at the lower of the fair value of the leased asset or the present value of the minimum lease payments. The liability for lease payments is presented at its present value and the lease payments are apportioned between finance cost and a reduction of the lease liability using the effective interest method.

The leased asset is amortized over the shorter of its useful life or the lease term.

2.       Operating leases:

Lease agreements are classified as an operating lease if they do not transfer substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of the leased asset. Lease payments are recognized as an expense in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

h.       Biological assets:

Biological assets, which include mature and immature oil palm plantations, are stated at fair value less estimated cost to sell. Gains/losses arising on initial recognition of plantations at fair value, and the changes in fair value at each reporting date are included in profit or loss for the period in which they arise.

i.        Property, plant and equipment:

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets at the following annual rates:

%
Extraction mill 2.5
Computers and software 33
Electronic equipment 15
Office furniture and equipment 15 - 20
Motor vehicles 25
Agriculture equipment 15
Leasehold improvements See below

Leasehold improvements are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term (including any extension option held by the Group and intended to be exercised) and the expected life of the improvement.

The useful life, depreciation method and residual value of an asset are reviewed at least

NOTE 2:-   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

each year-end and any changes are accounted for prospectively as a change in accounting estimate. Depreciation of an asset ceases at the earlier of the date that the asset is classified as held for sale and the date that the asset is derecognized.

j.        Impairment of non-financial assets:

The Company evaluates the need to record an impairment of non-financial assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount is not recoverable.

If the carrying amount of non-financial assets exceeds their recoverable amount, the assets are reduced to their recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs of sale and value in use. In measuring value in use, the expected future cash flows are discounted using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the asset. The recoverable amount of an asset that does not generate independent cash flows is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Impairment losses are recognized in profit or loss.

An impairment loss of an asset, other than goodwill, is reversed only if there have been changes in the estimates used to determine the asset's recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. Reversal of an impairment loss, as above, shall not be increased above the lower of the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of depreciation or amortization) had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years and its recoverable amount. The reversal of impairment loss of an asset presented at cost is recognized in profit or loss.

k.       Revenue recognition:

Revenues are recognized in profit or loss when the revenues can be measured reliably, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Company and the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably. Revenues are measured at the fair value of the consideration received less any trade discounts, volume rebates and returns.

Following are the specific revenue recognition criteria which must be met before revenue is recognized:

Revenues from the sale of goods:

Revenues from the sale of goods are recognized when all the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have passed to the buyer and the seller no longer retains continuing managerial involvement. The delivery date is usually the date on which ownership passes.

NOTE 2:-   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

l.        Inventories:

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The cost of inventories comprises costs of purchase and costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less estimated costs of completion and estimated costs necessary to make the sale. The Company periodically evaluates the condition and age of inventories and makes provisions for slow moving inventories accordingly.

Cost of finished goods inventories is determined on the basis of average costs including materials, labor and other direct and indirect manufacturing costs based on normal capacity.

m.      Earnings (loss) per share:

Earnings (loss) per share are calculated by dividing the net income attributable to equity holders of the Company by the weighted number of Ordinary shares outstanding during the period.

Basic earnings (loss) per share only include shares that were actually outstanding during the period. Potential Ordinary shares are only included in the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share when their conversion decreases earnings (loss) per share or

Increases loss per share from continuing operations.

Further, potential Ordinary shares that are converted during the period are included in diluted earnings (loss) per share only until the conversion date and from that date in basic earnings (loss) per share. The Company's share of earnings of investees is included based on the earnings (loss) per share of the investees multiplied by the number of shares held by the Company.

Basic and diluted earnings per share are adjusted retrospectively due to increases in shares outstanding resulting from bonus issues and share splits, including those that occur after the reporting period and through the date the financial statements are approved for issuance.

n.       Provisions:

A provision in accordance with IAS 37 is recognized when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. When the Group expects part or all of the expense to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognized as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense is recognized in the statement of profit or loss net of any reimbursement.

o.  Fair value measurement:

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability

NOTE 2:-   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

Fair value measurement is based on the assumption that the transaction will take place in the asset's or the liability's principal market, or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market.

The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.

Fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant's ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.

The Group uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs.

All assets and liabilities measured at fair value or for which fair value is disclosed are categorized into levels within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the entire fair value measurement:

Level 1 - quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 - inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 - inputs that are not based on observable market data (valuation techniques which use inputs that are not based on observable market data).

p.    Share-based payment transactions:

The Company applies the provisions of IFRS 2, "Share-Based Payment". IFRS 2 requires an expense to be recognized where the Company buys goods or services in exchange for shares or rights over shares ("equity-settled transactions"), or in exchange for other assets

equivalent in value to a given number of shares of rights over shares ("cash-settled transactions"). The main impact of IFRS 2 on the Company is the expensing of employees' and directors' share options (equity-settled transactions).

The cost of equity-settled transactions with employees is measured by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date on which they are granted. The fair value is determined using an acceptable option model.

The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognized, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the

NOTE 2:-   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

award ("the vesting date"). The cumulative expense recognized for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until the vesting date reflects the extent to which the vesting period has expired and the Company's best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest.

q.       Taxes on income:

Current or deferred taxes are recognized in profit or loss, except to the extent that they relate to items which are recognized in other comprehensive income or equity.

1.       Current taxes:

The current tax liability is measured using the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of reporting period as well as adjustments required in connection with the tax liability in respect of previous years.

2.       Deferred taxes:

Deferred taxes are computed in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts in the financial statements and the amounts attributed for tax purposes.

Deferred taxes are measured at the tax rate that is expected to apply when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.

Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is not probable that they will be utilized. Temporary differences for which deferred tax assets had not been recognized are reviewed at each reporting date and a respective deferred tax asset is recognized to the extent that their utilization is probable.

Taxes that would apply in the event of the disposal of investments in investees have not been taken into account in computing deferred taxes, as long as the disposal of the investments in investees is not probable in the foreseeable future.

Also, deferred taxes that would apply in the event of distribution of earnings by investees as dividends have not been taken into account in computing deferred taxes, since the distribution of dividends does not involve an additional tax liability or since it is the Company's policy not to initiate distribution of dividends from a subsidiary that would trigger an additional tax liability.

NOTE 2:-   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

New and amended standards and interpretations:

IFRS 10 "Consolidated Financial statements and IFRS 12 "Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities"

IFRS 10 replaces the portion of IAS 27, Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements, that addresses the accounting for consolidated financial statements.

IFRS 10 establishes a single control model that applies to all entities.

The application of IFRS 10 did not have a material effect on the financial statements.

IFRS 12 requires additional disclosures to be made, and these are provided in Note 24.

NOTE 3:-  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS USED IN THE PREPARATION OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that have an effect on the application of the accounting policies and on the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Changes in accounting estimates are reported in the period of the change in estimate.

The key assumptions made in the financial statements concerning uncertainties at the reporting date and the critical estimates computed by the Group that may result in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.

-     Biological assets:

The Group measures its mature and immature plantations included in biological assets at fair value less estimated cost to sell, based on a discounted cash flow model by engaging a professional valuer. The inputs to the cash flow model are derived from the professional valuer's assumptions of crude palm oil prices, fresh fruit bunches yield, and oil extraction rate applied on the estimated CPO price based on observable market data over the remaining useful life of mature and immature plantation. Due to long-term nature of these assets, such assumptions are subject to significant uncertainty.

-     Deferred tax assets:

Deferred tax assets are recognized for unused carryforward tax losses and deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the losses can be utilized. Significant management judgment is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognized, based upon the timing and level of future taxable profits, its source and the tax planning strategy.

NOTE 4:-   DISCLOSURE OF NEW STANDARDS IN THE PERIOD PRIOR TO THEIR ADOPTION

1.       IFRS 9, "Financial Instruments":

In July 2014, the IASB issued the final and complete version of IFRS 9, "Financial Instruments" ("IFRS 9"), which replaces IAS 39, " Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement". IFRS 9 mainly focuses on the classification and measurement of financial assets and it applies to all assets in the scope of IAS 39.

According to IFRS 9, the provisions of IAS 39 will continue to apply to derecognition and to financial liabilities for which the fair value option has not been elected.

IFRS 9 also prescribes new hedge accounting requirements.

IFRS 9 is to be applied for annual periods beginning on January 1, 2018. Early adoption is permitted.

The Company believes that the amendments to IFRS 9 are not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements.

2.       IFRS 15, "Revenue from Contracts from Customers"

In May 2015, the IASB issued IFRS 15, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers." The new standard provides a framework that replaces existing revenue recognition guidance in IFRS. Entities will apply a five-step model to determine when to recognize revenue and at what amount. The new standard also provides guidance on when to capitalize costs of obtaining or fulfilling a contract.

IFRS 15 is effective for annual periods beginning on 1 January 2017 or thereafter, with early adoption permitted. An entity may adopt IFRS 15 on a full retrospective basis or using the cumulative effect approach.

The Company is evaluating the possible impact of IFRS 15, but is presently unable to assess its effect, if any, on the consolidated financial statements.

3.       Amendments to IAS 16 and IAS 41 Agriculture:  Bearer Plants:

The amendments change the accounting requirements for biological assets that meet the definition of bearer plants. Under the amendments, biological assets that meet the definition of bearer plants will no longer be within the scope of IAS 41. Instead, IAS 16 will apply. After initial recognition, bearer plants will be measured under IAS 16 at accumulated cost (before maturity) and using either the cost model or revaluation model (after maturity). The amendments also require that produce that grows on bearer plants will remain in the scope of IAS 41 measured at fair value less costs to sell. The amendments are retrospectively effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016.

The Company is evaluating the possible impact of these amendments, but is presently unable to assess their effect, if any, on the financial statements.

NOTE 7:-   BIOLOGICAL ASSETS (Cont.)

Biological assets include mature and immature oil palm plantations that are stated at fair value and unplanted oil palm plants in a nursery that are measured at historical cost.

Oil palm oil trees have an average life of 25 years, with the first three years as immature and the remaining 22 years as mature. The fair value of the oil palm plantation is estimated by using the discounted cash flows of the underlying biological assets. The expected cash flows from the whole life cycle of the oil palm plantations is determined using: the estimated development cost during first three years till maturity, the market price and the estimated yield of the agricultural produce, being fresh fruit bunches ("FFB"), net of maintenance and harvesting costs.

The estimated yield of the palm oil is affected by the age of the oil palm trees. The market price of the fresh fruit bunches is a mandatory fixed price derived from the market price of the final product, Crude Palm Oil ("CPO") ,based on a formula in use in Cote d'Ivoire.

Significant assumptions made in determining the fair values of the oil palm plantations are as follows:

(a)Palm oil trees have an average life that ranges to 25 years, with the first three years as immature and the remaining years as mature.

(b)          The plantation yield gradually increases to 20 tons per hectare at the age of 7 years.

(c)          Discount rate used for the valuation as of 31 December 2014 and 2013 is 18%.

(d)        The FFB price is derived by applying the estimated CPO price based on observable market data being the world bank CPO price forecast.

6,174 5,488
Other liability - Due to related parties (c) - 179
6,174 5,667

a.       In the years 2008 to 2010, the shareholders of the Company invested in the Company a total amount of € 4,161 thousand by way of capital notes.

The capital notes are linked to the Euro and are payable by the earlier of: (a) prior to first dividend distribution by the Company to its shareholders, or (b) on 31 January 2017, provided the Company has profits available for distribution. Payment of the principal of these capital notes is subordinated and junior in right of payment to the Company's obligation to pay principal and interest on its indebtedness.

The fair value of the capital notes was determined at each investment date by discounting the expected future payments relating to each capital note using the cost of debt of the Group estimated at 12.5%.

The differences between the face amounts of the capital notes according to their terms and their fair value at the date of investment were recorded as a capital reserve in the aggregate amount of € 2,532 thousand.

On 3 February 2013, the Company issued to certain existing shareholders 49,005,049 Ordinary Shares in consideration for the cancellation of capital notes at a face amount of € 225 thousand.

On 20 February 2013, the Company granted warrants to purchase 33,317,674 Ordinary Shares and issued 42,642,947 Ordinary Shares in consideration for the cancellation of capital notes at a face amount of € 261 thousand and € 1,105 thousand, respectively. (see Note 14 for details of the warrants).

On 29 December 2013, the Company issued to certain existing shareholders 43,913,713 Ordinary Shares in consideration for the cancellation of capital notes at a face amount of € 570 thousand.

The carrying amounts of the capital notes on the date of cancellation amounted to approximately € 1,378 thousand. The difference between the carrying amounts and the fair value (€ 261 thousand) of the warrants granted, in the amount of € 1,117 thousand was credited to equity.

NOTE 12:- CAPITAL NOTES AND OTHER LIABILITIES (Cont.)

As of 31 December 2014, the face amount of the outstanding capital notes amounts to € 2,000 thousand.

b.       In 2010 in connection with Biopalm's acquisition of a 49% interest in DekelOil SIVA, Biopalm also invested € 3.3 million in DekelOil SIVA as a capital note with the following terms:

The capital note accrues interest at 10% per year until paid. The capital note is either to be repaid or converted into share premium in DekelOil SIVA Limited. Assessment will be made after 3 years and after 7 years from the disbursement date (i.e. 1 November 2010) as follows:

(i)      If  DekelOil SIVA will reach an IRR of 40% by either of these dates (3 or 7 years), then the capital note, principal and accrued interest will be converted to share premium; or

(ii)      If DekelOil SIVA will not reach an IRR of 40% after 7 years, then the capital note is payable to Biopalm.

The fair value of the capital note was determined at investment date by discounting the expected future payments relating to the capital note using the cost of debt of the Group estimated at 12.5%. The difference between the capital note face amount according to its terms and its fair value at the date of transaction in the amount of € 480 thousands was accounted for as part of the equity investment of Biopalm in the subsidiary.

In November 2013, the assessment was made that the IRR in (i) above had not been reached.

c.       The liability to the related party was converted to equity as part of the equity fund raising by the Company that took place on 24 October 2014. See also Note 15.

NOTE 14:- FINANCIAL LIABILITY FOR WARRANTS

On 20 February 2013, the Company granted warrants to purchase 33,317,674 Ordinary Shares in partial consideration for the cancellation of capital notes (see Note 12).

Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Ordinary share at an exercise price of £ 0.01 per share. The warrants can be exercised at any time until February 2018.

The warrants are classified as a liability measured at fair value through profit or loss since the exercise price of the warrants is denominated in GBP and therefore is not a fixed amount of currency in relation to the functional currency (Euro) of the Company.

The fair value of the warrants is calculated based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following parameters:

As of the date of grant:  Expected volatility of the share price - 53%; risk-free interest rate - 1.22%; share price - £ 0.01

As of 31 December 2013: Expected volatility of the share price - 53%; risk-free interest rate - 1.86%; share price - £ 0.01

As of 31 December 2014: Expected volatility of the share price - 56%; risk-free interest rate -0.77%; share price - £ 0.0108

Based on the above model, the fair value of the warrants was € 261 thousand on the grant date €275 thousand as of 31 December 2013 and €318 thousand as of 31 December 2014.

The change in fair value in the amount of €14 thousand and €43 thousand was recorded in finance cost in 2013 and 2014 respectively.
