Palmboomen Cultuur Maatschappij Mopoli (Palmeraies De Mopoli) N.V.

INTERIM REPORT

Financial year 2023 / 2024 Period from 01/07/2023 to 31/12/2023

(UNAUDITED)

BUSINESS ACTIVITIES

Mopoli is a company investing in agro industry projects. Currently, it only grants loans to related companies. As at 31 December 2023 cash loans were provided to Socfinaf S.A. ("Socfinaf") and Afico S.A. ("Afico"), both related parties of the Company.

The Company is listed on Euronext Brussels. The Company has no routine business processes and has no employees.

The Extraordinary General Meeting of shareholders of 10 June 2008 has authorised the Company to buy back its own shares for a maximum period of 18 months. Since then, this authorisation has been extended regularly and is still applicable as at 31 December 2023, however the availability of shares is limited. No shares were purchased during the period. As at 31 December 2023, the Company holds 219 founder shares and 5,904 common shares with no new acquisition until the establishment of this report.

The strategy of the Company remains to buy back its own shares in case any shares are offered to the market with the intent to initiate a squeeze-out procedure.

As such, the Management Board recognises that the main risk is credit risk regarding the recoverability of the loans. For this risk, considered low, the Management Board is willing to accept the risk and does not hedge or mitigate these factors.

The Company has no research and development activity.

RESULTS

The financial half-year ended at 31 December 2023 with a profit of EUR 827,899 versus a profit of EUR 358,143 as at 31 December 2022.

The increase of the half-year result is mainly due to the increase of the interest rate.

BALANCE SHEET

At 31 December 2023, Mopoli's total assets amount to EUR 56.1 million compared to EUR 57.4 million as at 30 June 2023. Mopoli's assets are mainly composed of non-current receivables for EUR 9.0 million, short-term receivables for EUR 20.4 million and cash and cash equivalents for EUR 26.6 million. As at 31 December 2023, total Equity amounts to EUR 55.9 million compared to EUR 57.1 million as at 30 June 2023.

OUTLOOK

Environment and climate change

The Company considered the potential impact of the climate change, which may affect positively and negatively the Company's financial performance.

The effects of the climate change on the Company's financial statements in future years remain uncertain. The Management Board considered various documentation in its assessment of the impact, such as the last Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reports.

The Management Board has considered the potential impact of climate change on its assessment of Expected Credit Losses (ECL), mainly on loans towards Socfinaf and Afico. Given the actual level of knowledge, the Management Board has considered the climate change would not have a material impact on ECL.

The Management Board will continue to consider the potential impacts of the climate change in its judgements, and will integrate any new potential impact if this could lead to a material change in the Company's financial statements.

Operational and financing activities

Cash flows of the Company will depend on the proceeds received for the loans, the total amount of which may vary depending on advances and repayments.

Financial income should increase in 2024 compared to financial income during the year 2023, due to a higher interest rate on loans and on deposits. The profit should also increase in 2024 compared to the year 2023.

RISKS – UNCERTAINTIES

The management do not foresee any specific or noted any new uncertainties that the company should have to face for the remaining six months of the financial year.

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.
