DIRECTORS' REPORT

To be presented to the Annual Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders of 18 December 2019.

Directors have pleasure in submitting their report together with the audited financial statements for the year ended the 30th June 2019.

1. BUSINESS ACTIVITIES

Mopoli is a holding company with its main activity is currently granting several loans in related companies. The company is listed on the Belgium stock exchange.

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 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.

2. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ON 30 JUNE 2019

At the closing date, the profit after taxes is EUR 0.65 million, and comes mainly from:

  • Financial earnings (interest) for EUR 1.10 million;
  • Operational expenses made up of services and various goods for EUR 0.18 million;
  • Income tax for EUR 0.26 million.

The total equity is EUR 55 million against EUR 54 million a year ago.

As of 30 June 2019 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.

6. DIRECTORS' REGULATIONS

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.

The board only consists of male members. For any new appointing of board members, this balance will be taken into account, but the quality of the board members prevails over the sex of these members.

Directors' remuneration is regulated by art. 12 of the articles of association standing that the Directors fee is equivalent of 10% of the distributed profit.

No director's remuneration will be paid in 2019-2020.

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

7. STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS

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

8. CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

The company is a small holding company without employees. The only activity at 30 June 2019 is the cash loan to Socfinaf, Afico and Socfin.

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.

9. INVESTMENT POLICY

Mopoli is a holding company investing in agro industry projects.

10. 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 2019 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 is also granted to Socfin. 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.

11. FORECAST FOR 2019/2020

Earnings will depend on the remuneration of loans and cash deposits.

12. 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 the general meeting of shareholders approve this proposal, the dividends will be payable from 31 December 2019 at the desk of ING Luxembourg, Route d'Esch, 52 – 2965 Luxembourg.

13. TRUE AND FAIR VIEW STATEMENT

With reference to section 5.25c paragraph 2c of the Financial Markets Supervision Act, the Board of Directors states that, to the best of its knowledge:

  • 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 gives a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and profit or loss of Mopoli;
  • the directors' report provides a fair review 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 Financial 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 2019. 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 2019 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 is also granted to Socfin. 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.

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.

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 common shares are entitled to a 5% interest distribution on the subscribed and fully paid share capital (2019: EUR 113k, 2018: EUR 113k). After this allocation 50% of the remaining Net profit is allocated to common shares (2019: EUR 268k, 2018: EUR 183k) and 40% is allocated to founder shares (2019: EUR 214k, 2018: EUR 146k). 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.

The Company has granted a loan of EUR 35 million to Socfinaf, a company affiliated to Socfin. Socfinaf repaid EUR 15 million during 2016-2017. This loan bears an interest rate of 4% and has an indefinite term, but it can be recalled at any time.
