DIRECTORS' REPORT

To be presented to the Annual Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders of 23 December 2016.

Directors have pleasure in submitting their report together with the audited financial statements for the year ended the 30th June 2016.

The general meeting of shareholders has authorized 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 their own shares in case any shares are offered to the market.

Mopoli has invested in Socfin shares and has an outstanding loan to Socfinaf. As such, management recognizes that the main risks are market risks regarding the development in the Socfin shares and credit risk regarding the recoverability of the outstanding loan. For both risks management is willing to accept these risks and does not hedge or mitigate these factors.

No formal risk procedures are implemented to mitigate the identified risks.

8. STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS

The General Meeting of Shareholders by a majority of two thirds of the votes has the right to change the statutory requirements.

The company is a small holding company without employees. The only activities at 30 June 2016 is the participation in one available-for-sale investment and the cash loan to Socfinaf. The company has no routine business processes and no Supervisory Board. The Board of Directors is aware that the company does not comply with the Dutch Corporate Governance Code. However, the company has started a buy back of its own shares. At the end of the program, the Board will estimate how the Corporate Governance code is applicable and to what extent the Code can be implemented taking into account the size and nature of the company at that time.

There is no audit committee or other oversight board implemented.

10. INVESTMENT POLICY

Mopoli NV is a holding company investing in agro industry projects.

11. 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

The Company invested in Socfin whose shares are listed on Luxembourg stock exchange. Nevertheless, it is a long term investment with no resale purposes. The current main risk is a decrease in the company's equity.

At 30 June 2016, the shares have lost 16.6% of their value compared to June 30, 2015 (-1.9% previous year) with a 5.8% negative impact on equity (-0.7% previous year).

For this year, we assess that a decrease risk of the shares held of 5% will negatively affect equity for 1.5%.

Credit risk

Last year 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.

Liquidity risk

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

12. FORECAST FOR 2016/2017

Earnings will depend on the dividends collected from shares and remuneration of loan and cash deposits.

13. SUGGESTION FOR DIVIDENDS

In accordance with the statutory disposition regarding the affectation of results, the Board of Directors proposes the following suggestion for dividends:

  • EUR 31.76 to the 100 preferred shares

If you approve this proposal, the dividends will be payable from 31 December 2016 at the desk of ING Luxembourg, Route d'Esch, 52 – 2965 Luxembourg.

Disclosures

Note 1: Accounting Principles and Methods of Appraisal

A. Corporate information

Palmboomen Cultuur Maatschappij 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. Its registered offices are located at 13, J.W. Frisolaan, 2517 JS 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 NV 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 2015-2016 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 Financial Reporting Interpretation Committee (IFRIC) and its predecessor, the Standard Interpretation Committee (SIC).

The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for available-for-sale investments that have been measured at fair-value.

The board of Directors have authorised the financial statement for issue on 20th December 2016. 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.

The Company has accumulated net notional interest deductions at June 30, 2016 useable to offset future taxable profits in Belgium for K€ 101 expiring in 2018. The company has not recognized deferred tax assets in relation to these amounts. The valuation of this asset depends on a number of judgmental assumptions regarding the future probable taxable profits before expiration date of the unused tax deductions. These estimates are made prudently in the limit of the best current knowledge. Where circumstances should change and the final tax outcome would be different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the income tax and deferred tax assets in the period in which such determination is made.

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 intend to recover a substantial portion of this loan next year. Nevertheless, the value of this reimbursement is not yet defined in agreement with Socfinaf.

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

The Company invested in Socfin whose shares are listed on Luxembourg stock exchange. Nevertheless, it is a long term investment with no resale purposes. The current main risk is a decrease in the company's equity.

At 30 June 2016, the shares have lost 16.6% of their value compared to June 30, 2015 (-1.9% previous year) with a 5.8% negative impact on equity (-0.7% previous year).

For this year, we assess that a decrease risk of the shares held of 5% will negatively affect equity for 1.5%.

Credit risk

Last year 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.

Liquidity risk

Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining cash available for investment opportunities. Mopoli NV manages cash and short term deposit according to the needs. Mopoli NV 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. If applicable, the Company applies the IFRS standards related to borrowing costs.

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.

Available-for-sale financial investments

Available-for-sale financial investments are those which are designated as such or do not qualify to be classified as designated at fair value through profit or loss, held to maturity or loans and advances.

Initial value of assets is measured at cost, i.e., generally, at acquisition cost, plus transaction costs.

The fair value of shares in listed companies is the stock exchange price as at balance sheet date while the fair value of the shares of non listed companies is based in generally accepted valuation models like discounted cash flow.

Unrealised variations in fair value are recognised directly through other comprehensive income. When the shares are disposed, the cumulative gains and losses are transferred from equity to the income statement.

If the fair value cannot be reliably determined, the shares are entered at their purchase price. In the event of an objective indication of durable depreciation, an irreversible loss of value is noted against the results.

Derecognition of financial assets and liabilities

Financial assets

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).

Deferred tax liabilities

Deferred tax liabilities reflect the net tax effect of timing differences between the carrying amounts of the customer bases for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.

Deferred income tax liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.

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.

Treasury 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.

(*) not yet endorses by EU

None of the new standards is expected to have significant impact. However, under IFRS 9 the company will have the choice to recognise fair value changes on equity shares currently held as AFS through profit or loss or through OCI. The former would increase volatility in recorded profit or loss. In case of the latter, previously unrealised gains/losses would remain in OCI when the equity instruments are impaired or derecognised, without recycling to profit or loss. The company has not yet made a decision on this policy choice.

Note 13 : Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share amounts are calculated by dividing net profit for the year attributable to common equity holders of the parent by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year and by dividing net profit for the year attributable to founder shares by the weighted average number of founder shares outstanding during the year.

The company did not issued any financing instrument requiring to disclose a diluted earnings per share.

The common shares are entitled to a 5% interest distribution on the subscribed and fully paid share capital (2016: €113k, 2015: €113k). After this allocation 50% of the remaining Net profit is allocated to common shares (2016: €769k, 2015: €519k) and 40% is allocated to founder shares (2016: €615k, 2015: € 415k). 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.

Previous financial statements erroneously did not disclose the EPS separately for common and founder shares. Furthermore the EPS were erroneously calculated by dividing net profit by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares. As IAS 33.66 prescribes a distinction between common and founder shares we have adjusted the EPS calculation for the previous period.

  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 general meeting for shareholders.

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

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.

Materiality 358 000
Benchmark used 1% of Equity
Additional explanation We have used equity as a basis for determining our
materiality. We consider a capital based indicator the most
appropriate driver for setting materiality as Palmboomen
Cultuur Maatschappij Mopoli N.V. has limited activities and
one of its focuses is to maintain its equity position.

Risk Our audit response
Valuation and presentation of the loan to
Soctinal S.A.
Palmboomen Cultuur Maatschappij Mopoli N.V. has
issued a material loan to Socfinat S.A, which is one of
the most significant accounts in the financial
statements of the company.
Socfinat S.A. is a subsidiary of Soctin S.A.
Palmboomen Cultuur Maatschappij has a financial
interest of 4.94% in the entity Socfin S.A. The loan,
with a nominal amount of €35 million, and an interest
rate of 4% has an indefinite term, but can be recalled
by Palmboomen Cultuur Maatschappij Mopoli N.V. at
any point in time. The loan can be classified as a
related party transaction, and is disclosed as such in
the financial statements.
As no guarantees have been provided this exposes
Palmboomen Cultuur Maatschappij Mopoli N.V. to a
credit risk.
To address this risk we have assessed that
Socfinal S.A. paid all interest due and that
Socfinaf S.A. is a company with sufficient
solvability. Furthermore, we note that in
December 2016 a total amount of
€ 15 million has been repaid. For more
information about this related party loan we
refer to notes 4,14 and the subsequent
events section of the financial statements.
