1. Management board report
1.1. Business activities
Palmboomen Cultuur Maatschappij Mopoli (Palmeraies De Mopoli) N.V. (hereafter referred to as Mopoli or the
Company) 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.
Mopoli is a company investing in agro industry projects. Currently, it only grants loans to related companies. As at
30 June 2024 cash loans were provided to each of 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 30 June 2024, however the availability of shares is limited. No shares were purchased this financial
year. As at 30 June 2024, the Company holds 219 founder shares (10.8% of the founder shares) and 5,904 common
shares (6.4% of the 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. Whereas the Company is looking for high volumes of shares on the
market to buy back, only limited volumes are offered, which is why the Company did not buy any shares during the
financial period.
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.
1.2. Composition of the Management Board
Management Board members are appointed, dismissed or suspended by the General Meeting of shareholders. They
are appointed for a mandate of four years. They can be reappointed.
The Management Board remains unchanged during the financial year 2023/2024 compared to 2022/2023.
The Management Board is composed as follows at the end of the reporting period:

1.3. Composition of the Supervisory Board
Supervisory Board members are appointed, dismissed or suspended by the General Meeting of shareholders. They
are appointed for a mandate of four years. They can be reappointed.
The Supervisory Board has been implemented by the Annual General Meeting of shareholders held on 17 December
2020.

The Board will propose the renewal of this term of office at the next Annual General Meeting for all the supervisory
board members.
1.4. Business performance
Profit for the period was EUR 1.7 million (EUR 0.8 million in 2022/2023), of which:
- financial income and expenses amounting to EUR 2.5 million (EUR 1.3 million in 2022/2023);
- administrative costs amounting to EUR 0.2 million (EUR 0.3 million in 2022/2023);
The total equity amounts to EUR 52.7 million as at 30 June 2024, compared to EUR 57.1 million as at 30 June 2023.
The administrative costs decreased in 2023/2024 compared to 2022/2023, and correspond mainly to lawyers and
experts fees.
The operating cash flow during the year 2023/2024 increased compared to 2022/2023, due to the increase of the
net result (EUR 1.7 million in 2023/2024 compared to EUR 0.8 million in 2022/2023).The investing cash flow is nill
during the period 2023/2024, compared to a negative investing cash flow during the period 2022/2023 (due to an
increase of EUR 0.5 million of loans granted during the period 2022/2023). The negative financing cash flow increased
in 2023/2024 compared to 2022/2023, due to the dividends paid during the period 2023/2024 for EUR 5.9 million.
As at 30 June 2024, the Company is highly solvent as equity exceeds by far the Company's liabilities. Furthermore,
the liquidity position of the Company remains high, even though the negative cash flows during the period being
mainly linked to the payment of dividends. This allows the Company to look cautiously for new investment of loan
opportunities. As such, the Company does not expect any need to obtain external financing in the coming year.
All funds are deposits to Julius Bär and Edmond de Rothschild. The creditworthiness of the bank is verified through
the evaluations of credit rating agencies.
1.5. Dividend and dividend policy
The Company will propose to pay a dividend of EUR 2 million to the holders of common shares and founder shares
over the financial year 2023/2024, including the 7% (EUR 3,000) to the holders of preference shares on the paid-up
amount of their preference shares.
The dividend policy aims for the continuity of the distribution of dividends to the preference shares and a dividend
at least equal to EUR 2 million for the other shares.

Mopoli Annual Report 2023/2024 - 7
1.6. 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 remain stable in 2024/2025 compared to financial income during the year 2023/2024, due
to stable interest rates on loans and on deposits. The profit should also remain stable in 2024/2025 compared to the
year 2023/2024.
1.7. 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 an operating company. The current
policy is therefore to invest indirectly in this sector.
On a long-term perspective, the Company wants to create long-term value, stable over the time, for its shareholders,
by maintaining the risk of non-reimbursement on its investments as low as possible. As a consequence, the Company
only enters into relation with companies having a strong knowledge of the agricultural sector and of the tropical
countries. Furthermore, the Company's partners maintain a strong financial performance over the years, ensuring
strong financial perspectives for the future.
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 direct market risk since the only activity on 30 June 2024 is the cash loan to Socfinaf and Afico. However,
the fair value of loans may fluctuate depending on the market.

Graphics
Mopoli Annual Report 2023/2024 - 8
Credit risk
In 2014, Mopoli entered into a loan agreement with the company Socfinaf. The Management Board considers this
loan agreement has 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 as at 30 June 2024.
In 2016, a loan was granted to Afico. This loan has a limited credit risk since the Company has a low debt ratio and
a high profitability ratio.
The Company established a provision table based on its historical credit loss experience, adjusted for prospective
factors specific to the debtors and the economic environment. This leads to the estimation of the expected credit
loss as required by IFRS 9. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of a provision account and
the amount of the loss is recognised in the income statement. Due to the low debt ratio of Afico and Socfinaf, the
Management Board assessed that the credit risk is very limited and that the expected credit loss is EUR nill for the
loans granted (compared to EUR nill for the 2022/2023 period). See also note 2 and 10 of the financial statements.
This being said, an uncontrollable factor is the market prices of the raw materials sold by the companies. An
important and lasting drop in those prices could affect the companies' ability to service the debt, but Socfinaf's and
Afico's have a presence in different geographical markets reducing their exposure to market price risk.
Interest risk
The interest risk is monitored by concluding the loans at a fixed rate, and by a close monitoring of the evolution of
interest rate on financial markets.
Liquidity risk
Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining cash available for investment opportunities. Mopoli manages
cash and short-term deposits according to the needs. Mopoli has limited liquidity risk over the 2023/2024 period.
Hedging of risks
The policy of the Company is not to hedge any of the aforementioned risks.
Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) risk
The Company invests in partners having an environment, social responsibilities and governance reporting process. In
particular, Socfinaf publishes a separate Sustainability Report that can be accessed on its website. Most of the
commitments described in this Sustainability Report have already been considered in the budgets of Socfinaf's
subsidiaries. As a consequence, the Management of Mopoli considers the ESG risks are already under control, and
will continue to monitor their assessment in the future.
The Company considered the potential impact of the climate change, which may impact financial instruments and
cash deposits.
The effects of the climate change on the Company's financial statements as in future years remain uncertain. 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.
Modifications
No significant changes are expected to be made to the risk management system.

1.8. Statements of the Management Board
In control statement
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:
- a self-assessment and monitoring is made to review and monitor compliance with Internal Control over Financial
Reporting. Therefore, the Management Board report provides sufficient insights in the effectiveness of the
internal risk management and control systems;
- such aforementioned process provides reasonable assurance that the financial reporting does not contain any
material inaccuracies;
- based on the current beneficial state of activities and note 1.E of the Financial Statements, it is justified that
the Financial Statements have been prepared on a going concern basis;
- this Management Board report states those material risks and uncertainties that are relevant to the expectation
of the Company’s continuity for the period of 12 months after the date this Management Board report was
prepared.
Responsibility statement
The Management Board states that, to the best of its knowledge:
- the Management Board report provides a fair view 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.
- 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 comprehensive income of the Company.

1.9. Governance
1.9.1. Dutch corporate governance code
The Dutch corporate governance code contains principles and best practice provisions on the governance of listed
companies and their accountability to their shareholders on this topic. In December 2022, a revised version of the
code was published (the "Code"). The Code was designated as the new corporate governance code by Decree on 20
September 2023 and entered into force as from the financial year 2022.
Following the Annual General Meeting relating to the 2019/2020 financial year, new Management and Supervisory
Board members had been nominated for appointment, and new policies complying with the Code had been set up.
Exceptions to the compliance with the code:
1.3 Internal audit function
In the absence of an internal audit department, this function is under the responsibility of the Management Board.
Adequate control measures are implemented in relation to the operations and size of the Company without specific
written plan or report.
1.5 Role of the Supervisory Board (Audit Committee) and 2.3.5. Committee reports
Mr Andrej Bjegovic is the president and only member of the Audit Committee. There is therefore no formal meeting
and no Audit Committee report.
2.2.6 Evaluation of the Supervisory Board and 2.2.7. Evaluation of the Management Board
Given the size of the company and in the absence of significant operations during the period, no formal evaluation
took place during the financial year 2023/2024. The members of the Supervisory Board and the Management Board
carried out continuous evaluations.
2.4.4 Attendance at Supervisory Board meetings
As the members of the Supervisory Board did not formally convene in 2023/2024, the Company does not comply with
this best practice provision. However, the members collectively and individually interacted with other members and
with the members of the Management Board outside the formal Supervisory Board meetings.
4.1.9. External auditor’s attendance
The external auditors did not attend the Annual General meeting that occurred in December 2023. Apart from this
fact, auditors exchanged information with accounting and finance department about the company financial
performance, on a short and long-term perspective, going concern and fraud. The Company plans to invite auditors
for the next annual general meeting that should occur in December 2024.
1.9.2. Board structure
Mopoli has a two-tier board structure, consisting of a Management Board and a Supervisory Board.
The Management Board is the executive body, entrusted with the management of the Company’s group and is
responsible for the continuity, goals, objectives, long-term value creation strategy, policies and results of Mopoli.
The Supervisory Board, established at the last General Meeting, supervises and advises the Management Board on
the policies, management and the general affairs of Mopoli.
The Supervisory Board has one committee, the Audit Committee.
Mr Andrej Bjegovic is the president and only member of the Audit Committee.
1.9.3. Diversity
Mopoli values diversity and inclusion in all areas of its organisation. Currently Mopoli does not meet the gender
diversity targets of one-third for either the Supervisory Board or the Management Board.
The Management Board and the Supervisory Board currently consist of only male members.
Although the Management Board and Supervisory Board were appointed during the 2020/2021 period there were no
female candidates and therefore the Company did not meet diversity targets. The members of the Management and
the Supervisory Board mandates end in 2024, the members can be reappointed at the next Annual General Meeting.
As there were no female candidates for being representatives at the Management and Supervisory Boards of the
Company, the Company will also not meet its diversity targets at the end of 2024.

Graphics
Mopoli Annual Report 2023/2024 - 11
The Company set up quotas, explained in Article 2 of Mopoli's diversity policy in order to meet a minimum of 30%
male and female representatives by 2024. As there were no female candidates for being representatives at the
Management and Supervisory Boards of the Company, the Company will not meet its diversity quotas at the end of
2024. The diversity quota of 30% should be met at the renewal of next mandates, that will occur in 2028.
In the event of a new appointment in the Management Board or the Supervisory Board arises, gender diversity will
be on the list of criteria, besides other relevant criteria for the specific vacancy.
1.9.4. Related party transactions
Transactions made with shareholders, Management or Supervisory Board members of the Company are described in
note 9 of the financial statements.
These transactions with related parties have been done at arm’s length and comply with the best practice provisions
2.7.5. These transactions are described in Note 9 of the Company's financial statements.
1.9.5. Takeover Directive
In accordance with the Dutch Takeover Directive (Article 10) Decree (Besluit artikel 10 overnamerichtlijn) this

With the exception of the resolutions to appoint a Management Board member and to adopt the annual

The Management Board members and the Supervisory Board members shall be appointed by the General
Meeting on the recommendation of the meeting of the holders of preference shares. The General Meeting

a meeting in which at least half of the issued capital is present or represented.
i) The authorities of the Management Board, in particular in relation to the issuance of shares in the capital
of the Company and the acquisition by the Company of shares in its own capital
A decision to issue shares may only be taken by the General Meeting of shareholders. The Management
Board may only acquire shares in its own capital if the General Meeting has authorised the Management
Board to do so. Such authorisation will be valid for a period not exceeding eighteen months. The General
Meeting must determine in the authorisation the number of shares which may be acquired, the manner in
which they may be acquired and the limits within which the price must be set.
By resolution of 23 February 2023, the General Meeting of shareholders authorised the Management Board
for a period of 18 months as from 23 February 2023, to repurchase up to 10% of the issued share capital

1.9.6. Social and environmental responsibility
Mopoli’s values are very much linked to that of the company Société Financière des Caoutchoucs S.A. ("Socfin") and
its subsidiaries (the "Socfin Group"). Mopoli adheres to and supports Socfin’s code of conduct as well as its
sustainability commitments. Socfin's commitments and sustainability report are available on Socfin's website
(www.socfin.com).
As Afico is a small administrative company, its activity and its code of conduct has no material impact on Mopoli's
indirect social and environmental impact.

2 members of the Supervisory Board are not considered independent, as they are employees or members of the
Management board of Socfin, a company considered as an associated company with Mopoli.
Independence and efficiency review
An important aspect of good corporate governance is the independence of Supervisory Board members and their
freedom from conflicts of interest.
The Supervisory Board based the assessment of the independence of its members on the recommendations of the
Dutch Corporate Governance Code. The independence criteria are described in Article 4 of the Supervisory board
rules, based on best practice provision 2.1.7. and 2.1.9. of the Dutch Corporate Governance Code.
Graphics
Mopoli Annual Report 2023/2024 - 15
According to the Supervisory Board’s assessment:
- 2 of the 4 members of the Supervisory Board are considered to be independent, as the criteria of
dependence, described in article 4 of the Supervisory board rules, do not apply to them.
- 2 of the 4 members of the Supervisory Board are considered to be non independent (Mr Philippe Fabri and
Mr Daniel Haas), as the criteria of dependence of the Supervisory board rules apply to them.
The Company therefore does not comply with best practice provision 2.1.7.ii which states that the total number of
supervisory board members to whom the criteria referred to in best practice provision 2.1.8. are applicable should
account for less than half of the total number of supervisory board members.
The Supervisory Board does not see any indications that the Supervisory Board role is not performed completely
independently. In cases where Supervisory Board members hold supervisory or management positions at companies
with which Mopoli has business relations, we see no impairment of their independence.
The Supervisory Board reviews the efficiency of its activities every year in the form of a self-assessment.
The Supervisory Board conducted a discussion between its members regarding the cooperation within the Supervisory
Board and cooperation with the Management Board. Overall, its members rated the Supervisory Board’s activity as
efficient and appropriate.
Committees and Internal Audit
The Supervisory Board has one committee, the Audit Committee.
Mr Andrej Bjegovic is the president and only member of the Audit Committee, he has relevant competence in the
sector in which Mopoly is operating, also relevant competence in auditing and accounting. Mr Bjegovic being the
only member of the Audit Committee, there is therefore no formal meeting.
The Audit Committee is responsible for all the recommendations of the Dutch Corporate Governance Code.
Important tasks include providing recommendations to the Management Board on accounting issues and monitoring
the financial reporting process, the internal auditing system and its efficiency.
In application of the Audit Committee rules, the Audit Committee shall also provide the Supervisory Board with a
report of its deliberations. This report should include the methods used to assess the effectiveness of the internal
risk management system, of the internal and external audit processes, material considerations regarding financial
reporting and the way material risks and uncertainties have been analysed and discussed.
With regard to Internal Audit, adequate control measures are implemented in relation to the operations and size of
the Company. Therefore, the current internal control system is efficient.
Dutch Corporate Governance Code
The information and exceptions linked to the corporate governance statement are integrated in point 1.9.1. of the
Management Board report.
Financial Statements 2023/2024
The financial statements of the Company for 2023/2024, as presented by the Management Board, have been audited
by EY Accountants B.V., the independent external auditor appointed by the General Meeting of shareholders.
These financial statements have been approved by the Management Board.
The Management Board recommend to shareholders that they adopt the 2023/2024 financial statements, and that
they adopt the proposal of the Management Board to make a distribution of EUR 2 million to the holders of common
shares and founder shares, against the net income during the 2024/2025 period.
Related party transactions
The Supervisory Board became aware of the transactions made with shareholders, Management or Supervisory Board
members of the Company described in note 9 to the financial statements and has approved them.

2.2. Remuneration Report (article 2:135b of the Dutch Civil Code)
The remuneration of the Management Board members and the Supervisory Board members is regulated by the
Remuneration Policy.
The Remuneration Policy has been adopted by the General Meeting of 17 December, 2020 (by 100% of the vote) and
is available on the website of the Company, in line with article 2:135a of the Dutch civil code.
The Remuneration Policy was directly and fully implemented after its adoption. It supports improving the Company’s
overall performance and enhancing the long-term value of the Company by attracting and retaining qualified talent
to perform the Supervisory Board’s duties acting in accordance with the interests of the Company and its
stakeholders. The Annual General Meeting, relating to the financial year 2023/2024 approved the remuneration
report presented during the meeting.
As Mopoli has no employees, there is no internal pay ratio included in the Remuneration report.
The Supervisory Board dependent members did not receive any remuneration for the work they performed during
the financial year 2023/2024 (no remuneration during the financial year 2022/2023).
The independent Supervisory Board members (Mr Andrej Bjegovic and Mr Karim Homsy) received a remuneration of
EUR 5,000 for the work performed during the financial year 2023/2024, compared to a remuneration of EUR 5,000
during the financial year 2022/2023.
The Audit Committee member (Mr Andrej Bjegovic) received a remuneration of EUR 5,000 for the work he performed
during the financial year 2023/2024, compared to a remuneration of EUR 5,000 during the previous period.

The Remuneration Policy only allows a fixed fee to the independent members of the Supervisory Board. The non-
independent members of the Management Board and the Supervisory Board did not receive any remuneration for the
work they performed during the financial year 2023/2024, in compliance with the Remuneration Policy.
As the financial performance of the Company remains stable over the years, no scenario analyses have been
considered in the Remuneration Report.

4.5. Notes to the Financial Statements
Note 1: Accounting Principles and Methods of Appraisal
A. Corporate information
Palmboomen Cultuur Maatschappij Mopoli (Palmeraies De Mopoli) N.V. (hereafter referred to as Mopoli or the
Company) 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, the Netherlands, and its
administrative headquarters are located at 2, Place du Champ de Mars, 1050 Brussels, Belgium. The Company is
listed on Euronext Brussels.
Mopoli is a company investing in agro industry projects.
B. Accounting policies
Statement of compliance
In application of European Regulation no. 1606/2002 of 19
th
July 2002 on International Accounting Standards, the
accounts for the 2023/2024 financial period have been prepared 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.
On 31 October 2024, the Management Board has approved the financial statements as at 30
June 2024, that need to
be validated at the Annual General Meeting.
The financial statements are presented in euros and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand (‘000) except
when otherwise indicated.
Significant judgements, estimates and assumptions
In the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies, management may have to make judgements and
assumptions, and made estimates in determining amounts recognised in the financial statements. Uncertainty about
these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount
of assets or liabilities affected in future periods. Significant accounting policies, for which the Company has used its
judgement, mainly concern the application of IFRS 9 (Note 10).
In the process of applying the company’s accounting policies, management has made various judgements. Those
judgements that management has assessed to have the most significant impact on the amounts recognised in the
financial statements are discussed in the individual notes to the related financial statement line items. The company
based its assumptions and estimates on parameters available when the financial statements were prepared.
However, existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments may change due to market changes or
circumstances that are beyond the company's control. Such changes are reflected in the assumptions when they
occur.
The recoverability of other receivables is assessed by a regular control of the financial position of the parties of the
loans. Over the previous years, a substantial portion of the loan has been recovered, and no impairment has been
booked on these receivables. Consequently, no expected credit losses have been booked over these loans, based on
historical data.
A treasury agreement was signed with Socfinaf.
Since the amount paid can be claimed on demand, this transaction has been recognised as a current receivable.
Despite the fact that this loan is outstanding since 20 November 2014, the Management consider it as a current
receivable. Indeed, a substantial portion of this loan has been recovered over the previous years.

Mopoli Annual Report 2023/2024 - 23
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 given that in certain producing countries, the political system and economic stability remain fragile
and could lead to currency devaluation or hyperinflation as well as expropriation.
The current policy is therefore to invest indirectly in this sector and in different countries.
Business risk
As investor in tropical agro business projects, the Company has to deal with potential high risk (see previous
paragraph). That is why the Company is not investing directly in the projects, but through well structured listed and
non-listed companies, that have developed the know-how in that business and are designed to manage the risk.
Market risk
There is no direct market risk since the only activity as at 30 June 2024 is the cash loan to Afico and Socfinaf.
However, the fair value of loans may fluctuate depending on the market.
Interest risk
This risk includes an impact in cash flows relating to long-term loans, if concluded on a variable rate or including a
component linked to a variable rate, and the base interest rates on cash and cash equivalents.
The interest risk is monitored by concluding the loans at a fixed rate, and by a close monitoring of the evolution of
interest rate on financial markets.
Credit risk
In 2014, Mopoli entered into a loan agreement with the company Socfinaf. Mopoli considers there is 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 has already been repaid over the previous years.
In 2016, a loan was granted to Afico. This loan bears a limited credit risk since the company has a low debt ratio and
a high profitability ratio.
The Company established a provision table based on its historical credit loss experience, adjusted for prospective
factors specific to the debtors and the economic environment. This leads to the estimation of the expected credit
loss as required by IFRS 9. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of a provision account and
the amount of the loss is recognised in the income statement. Mopoli assessed the expected credit loss to be almost
0, see also Note 2 and Note 10 of the financial statements.
This being said, an uncontrollable factor is the market prices of the raw materials sold by the companies. An
important and lasting drop in those prices could affect the companies' ability to service the debt, but Socfinaf's and
Afico's have a presence in different geographical markets reducing their exposure to market price risk.
Liquidity risk
Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining cash available for investment opportunities. Mopoli manages
cash and short-term deposits according to the needs. Mopoli has limited liquidity risk over the 2023/2024 period.
Hedging of risks
The policy of the Company is not to hedge any of the aforementioned risks.
Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) risk
The Company invests in partners having an environment, social responsibilities and governance reporting process. In
particular, Socfinaf publishes a separate Sustainability Report that can be accessed on its website. Most of the
commitments described in this Sustainability Report have already been considered in the budgets of Socfinaf's
subsidiaries. As a consequence, the Management of Mopoli considers the ESG risks are already under control, and
will continue to monitor their assessment in the future.
Graphics
Mopoli Annual Report 2023/2024 - 24
The Company considered the potential impact of the climate change, which may affect the financial performance
of the Company. Climate change may impact financial instruments and cash deposits: the Company considered the
potential impact of climate effect on debtor's ability to pay.
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.
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 effects of the climate change
on the long term financial performance of Socfinaf and Afico remain uncertain.
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. At closing period, there is no material impact on the Company's financial statements.
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 were subject to conversion. The functional currency of the Company
is the euro.
Revenue recognition and financial income
The company has no revenues, as the Company's activity is to invest in agro industry projects.
Financial income correspond to interest accrued on loans, calculated using the effective interest rate method.
Operating expenses
Operating expenses correspond to expenses that the Company incurs through its normal business operations.
Expenses are recognised when the related goods are received and service is provided.
Financial charges
In prior years the cost mostly comprised of interest charges due to negative interest rates on Company’s deposits.
Following the increase of interest rates in 2023/2024 the Company does not incur interest charges anymore.
Income tax
The Company calculates income tax expense 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 tax bases will give rise to the computation of a deferred tax, 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.
Current income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the
taxation authorities. Current income tax relating to items recognised directly in equity is recognised in equity and
not in the statement of profit or loss. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns, with
respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation, and establishes provisions
where appropriate. This assessment is made annually.
A reconciliation between effective income tax rate and local tax rate is performed and disclosed annually.
Graphics
Mopoli Annual Report 2023/2024 - 25
Financial assets
The loans bearing interest are initially recorded at fair value, less direct costs of issue. Financial income is added to
the carrying amount of the instrument to the extent that it is not received in the period in which it occurs.
The Company's business model for financial assets management refers to the way it manages its financial assets in
order to generate cash flows: financial assets are classified and measured at amortised cost, as they are held in a
business model with the objective of holding financial assets to collect contractual cash flows.
The Company applies the low credit risk simplification: at every reporting date, the Company evaluates whether the
financial asset is considered to have low credit risk using all reasonable and supportable information that is available
without undue cost or effort. In addition, the Company considers that there will be a significant increase in credit
risk when contractual payments are more than 30 days past due.
In addition to the low credit-risk simplification explained above, if the recoverable amount of a financial asset is
estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount.
These impairment losses are immediately recognised as expenses in the income statement. When an impairment loss
recognised in a prior period no longer exists or needs to be written down, the carrying amount of the asset is
increased to the extent of the revised estimate of its recoverable amount. However, this increased carrying amount
may not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined if no impairment loss had been recognised
for the asset in prior years. The reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in income in the income
statement.
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 from 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.
Other receivables
Trade and other accounts receivables are current financial assets initially recognised 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 amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method, minus any losses in value
taking account of any possible risk of expected credit losses according to IFRS 9.
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 non-transferability.
Trade and other payables
Other financial liabilities (trade payables, other payables) represent liabilities for goods and services provided to
the company prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid
within 30-60 days of recognition. Trade and other payables are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not
due within twelve months after the reporting period. They are initially recognised at their fair value and
subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. The fair value of other financial
liabilities is estimated to be close to the carrying amount, as these payables are due with a short-term maturity.
Other financial liabilities are derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or
expires.
Graphics
Mopoli Annual Report 2023/2024 - 26
Segment reporting
No segment reporting is disclosed, since the business segment is unique, i.e., finance, and since the geographical
segment is also unique (Belgium).
Cash flow statement
The cash flow statement is prepared by using the indirect method. The cash flow statement distinguishes
operating, investing and financing activities. Payments and receipts of corporate taxes as well as dividends and
interest received are included in cash flows from operating activities. Dividends paid and interest paid are part of
the cash flow from financing activities.
Share capital and Treasury shares
Ordinary shares are classified as share capital
Own equity instruments that are reacquired (treasury shares) are recognised at cost and 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. Any difference between the carrying amount and the consideration, if reissued, is recognised in the
share premium.
D. IFRS Standards and IFRIC Interpretations
The Company does not expect the adoption of the standards and amendments described below to have a material
impact on its consolidated financial statements, nor anticipate early adoption of new accounting standards,
amendments and interpretations.
New and amended standards and interpretations applicable as at 1 July 2024
Amendments to IAS 1 " Presentation of Financial Statements "
In January 2020 and October 2022, the IASB issued amendments to paragraphs 69 to 76 of IAS 1 "Presentation of
Financial Statements" to specify the requirements for classifying liabilities as current or non-current. The
amendments clarify:
• What is meant by a right to defer settlement
• That a right to defer must exist at the end of the reporting period
• That classification is unaffected by the likelihood that an entity will exercise its deferral right
That only if an embedded derivative in a convertible liability is itself an equity instrument would the terms of a
liability not impact its classification
In addition, a requirement has been introduced to require disclosure when a liability arising from a loan agreement
is classified as non-current and the entity’s right to defer settlement is contingent on compliance with future
covenants within twelve months.
Amendments to IFRS 16 " Lease liability in a Sale and Leaseback "
In September 2022, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 16 to specify the requirements that a seller-lessee uses in
measuring the lease liability arising in a sale and leaseback transaction, to ensure the seller-lessee does not recognise
any amount of the gain or loss that relates to the right of use it retains.
Amendments to IAS 7 " Supplier Finance Arrangements "
On 25 May 2023, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 7 and IFRS 7 "Supplier Finance Arrangements": the amendments
clarify the characteristics of an arrangement for which an entity is required to provide the information. They also
require entities to disclose information that allows users to assess how supplier finance arrangements affect an
entity’s liabilities, cash flows and exposure to liquidity risk. Such information may consist of the terms and conditions
of these arrangements and the carrying amount of the supplier finance arrangement financial liabilities.
Amendments to IAS 12 " International Tax Reform Pillar Two Model Rules "
On 23 May 2023, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 12 "International Tax Reform Pillar Two Model Rules" in order
to respond to concerns about the potential implications of OECD Pillar Two model rules. The amendments introduce
a mandatory exception in IAS 12 from recognising and disclosing deferred tax assets and liabilities related to Pillar
Two income taxes, and disclosure requirements for affected entities to help users of the financial statements
understand better exposure to Pillar Two income taxes arising from that legislation, particularly before its effective
date. The amendments apply to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2024, with some disclosure
requirements being effective later.

Standards issued but not yet effective and not yet endorsed as at 30 June 2024
- On 25 August 2023, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 21 - Lack of Exchangeability. The amendments clarify how
an entity should assess whether a currency is exchangeable, how it should determine a spot exchange rate when
exchangeability is lacking, and specify information disclosures to enable users of financial statements to understand
the impact of a currency not being exchangeable. The amendments apply prospectively to annual reporting periods
beginning on or after 1 January 2025, with early adoption permitted.
- On 9 April 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18 - Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements. This standard sets
out requirements for the presentation and disclosure of information in general purpose financial statements
(financial statements) to help ensure they provide relevant information that faithfully represents an entity’s assets,
liabilities, equity, income and expenses. The standard will become effective for reporting periods beginning on or
after 1 January 2027, with early adoption permitted.
- On 9 May 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 19 - Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures. This standard
permits eligible subsidiaries to elect to apply reduced disclosure requirements as per IFRS 19 and comply with the
recognition, measurement and presentation requirements set out in other IFRS Accounting Standards. The standard
will become effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027, with early adoption permitted.
- On 30 May 2024, the IASB issued Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments -
Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 (the Amendments). The Amendments provide guidance on:
- the classification of financial assets, including Environment, social and Governance (ESG) features;
- the derecognition of liabilities settled through electronic payment systems. It also clarifies the treatment of non-
recourse assets and contractually linked instruments;
- the disclosures related to investments in equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income
and to financial assets/liabilities with contractual terms that reference a contingent event including those that are
ESG-linked.
The amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January
2026, with early application permitted.
The Company does not expect the adoption of these amendments to have a material impact on its consolidated
financial statements, nor anticipate early adoption of new accounting standards, amendments and interpretations.
E. Going concern
Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes that the Company will generate
cash flows to continue in the foreseeable future.
As at 30 June 2024, the current assets widely exceed current liabilities, as
- the current assets amount to EUR 44.2 million;
- the current liabilities amount to EUR 0.5 million.
There are no new loans in the future, considered in the foreseeable future of the Company, at closing period.
F. Geopolitical uncertainties
Due to the geopolitical tensions (war in Ukraine, in Gaza strip, …), since February 2022, there has been a significant
increase in volatility on the securities and currency markets. The conflicts have had a significant impact on the
financial markets, with many investors concerned about the potential for further escalation and the impact on global
trade and economic growth.
Although neither the Company’s performance and going concern have been significantly impacted by the above
during 2023/2024 period, the Management Board continues to monitor the evolving situation and its impact on the
financial position and results of the Company.

The statutory reserves were relative to article 36.1.b. (i) of the Company statutes. These reserves are no more
funded as they reached 10% of the capital.
The General Meeting of December 2020 adapted the share capital when amending the Company's articles of
association. “The issued and paid-up capital in the amount of EUR 2,314,279.10 is, in accordance with section 2:67a
paragraph 1 DCC, hereby converted into EUR 2,244,000 divided into 100,000 ordinary shares, with a nominal value
of EUR 22 each and 100 preference shares, with a nominal value of EUR 440 each.” The funds relating to this
adjustment (EUR 70,279.10) are included in the statutory reserves following the decision of the General Meeting and
is not-distributable in accordance with section 2:67a paragraph 3 of the DCC.
The available reserves were build up until 1995. The profits of the year were allocated to these reserves instead of
the retained earnings. They are no more funded and can be distributed or allocated to another equity account based
on a decision of the General Meeting.

(*) Amount actually paid during the financial year
According to a declaration of participation (18 December 2019), Hubert Fabri holds directly or indirectly 89% of
ordinary shares and 100% of the preferred shares of Mopoli. Hubert Fabri also holds a majority interest in Socfin and
Afico.
During the period 2023/2024, the Company paid an amount of EUR 73,810 for administrative assistance to Centrages
(2022/2023: EUR 84,106), a company indirectly held by Socfin. All administrative and accounting services are
provided by Centrages.
The Company has granted a loan of EUR 35.0 million to Socfinaf, a company affiliated to Socfin. This loan bears an
interest rate of 6% and has an indefinite term, but it can be recalled at any time. Socfinaf repaid EUR 15.0 million
during 2016-2017. The remaining balance as at 30 June 2024 is EUR 20.0 million.
The Company has granted a loan of EUR 10.0 million to Afico, a shareholder company. This loan bears an interest
rate of 6% and the term is fixed at 31 December 2026. Afico repaid a net amount of EUR 1.0 million between 2017
and June 2023.
The remaining balance as at 30 June 2024 is EUR 9.0 million.
These loans are measured at amortised cost, which is equal to the nominal value of the loan. The fair value of the
loan granted to Socfinaf equals the valuation at amortised cost, as the loan has an indefinite term, but can be
recalled at any time. The fair value of the loan granted to Afico has been estimated at EUR 9.2 million as at 30 June
2024, compared to a fair value of EUR 9.0 million as at 30 June 2023 (see also Note 11).
No guarantees have been issued on these loans. A provision for doubtful debts related to the amount of outstanding
loans granted to Socfinaf and Afico is not deemed necessary.
The transactions with related parties are done at arm’s length.
Graphics
Mopoli Annual Report 2023/2024 - 36
Note 10: Expected Credit Loss
The Company recognises an allowance for expected credit losses for financial assets carried at amortised cost.
Expected credit losses are based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due in accordance with the
contract and all the cash flows that the Company expects to receive.
All reasonable and supportable information was considered. Examples of indicators identified included the average
historical losses, the history of periods for payment of interest quarterly and the profitability of the activity of the
borrower. The financial assets were also individually assessed.
There was no material adjustment made because of the tenor of the loan.
Note 11: Fair value
Fair value, which is determined for disclosure purposes, is calculated based on the present value of future principal
and interest cash flows, taking into consideration the non-performance risk.
The different fair value hierarchy levels have been defined as follows:
- 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 for the asset or liability, either
directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices).
- Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs).
For elements recognised in the financial statements at fair value on a recurring basis, the Company determines
whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorisation (based on the lowest
level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.
There have been no transfer between levels in the fair value hierarchy during the period 2023/2024 nor 2022/2023.

The carrying amount does not materially differ from the estimated fair value because the loans are repayable either
on demand at the option of the borrower or within 30 months.
As there is no active market with a quoted price for these assets (level 1 inputs), nor other observable inputs (level
2 inputs), the fair value of other receivables is assessed based on internal elements (level 3), e.g. no difficulties to
reimburse from the borrowers. The fair value of other receivables is assessed based on internal elements (level 3).
The calculation of the fair value is based on the discounted cash flow of the loan. The fair value is calculated as the
present value of the future principal and interest cash flows. The inputs for the calculation are the interest rate as
agreed in the loan agreement and the discount factor is calculated as the difference between the interest rate on
the loan and the market interest rate.
Note 12: Off balance sheet rights and commitments
The Company does not have off balance sheet rights and commitments as at 30 June 2024.

Mopoli Annual Report 2023/2024 - 37
Note 13: Events after the closing date
In September 2024, Mopoli granted an additional amount of EUR 10 million to Afico. The annual interest rate of the
overall loan remains unchanged at 6%. The maturity of the overall loan has also been updated and has been set at
June 2027. The main part of this additional loan is expected to be reimbursed by Afico before 2024 year-end.
Note 14: Board remuneration
No remuneration was paid to Management Board members this year (no remuneration paid to board members in
2022/2023).

articles of association of the Company, as follows:
a. First: seven percent (7%) will be paid to the holders of preference shares on the paid-up amount of their

whole or in part.
37.1 Distributions become eligible and payable with effect from the date established by the Management Board; the
date for a distribution on ordinary shares may differ for that on preference shares.

We designed our audit procedures in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole and in forming our
opinion thereon. The following information in support of our opinion and any findings were addressed in this context,
and we do not provide a separate opinion or conclusion on these matters.
Our understanding of the business
Palmboomen Cultuur Maatschappij Mopoli (Palmeraies De Mopoli) N.V. (the company) is a holding company
investing in the exploitation of tropical palm oil and rubber plantations. Currently, the main activity is granting loans
to related companies Socfinaf S.A. (Socfinaf) a company affiliated to Société Financière des Caoutchoucs S.A.

(Socfin) and Afico S.A. (Afico). The majority interest holder in the company also holds majority interests in Socfin
and Afico. We paid specific attention in our audit to a number of areas driven by the activities of the company and our
risk assessment.
We determined materiality and identified and assessed the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements,
whether due to fraud or error in order to design audit procedures responsive to those risks and to obtain audit evidence
that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Materiality
Materiality
398.500 (2023: 430.000)
Benchmark applied
0,75% of the total assets (2023: 0,75% of the total assets)
Explanation
We determined materiality based on our understanding of the company’s
business and our perception of the financial information needs of users of the
financial statements. We consider the total assets to be a suitable basis, as the
company has limited business activities.
We have also taken into account misstatements and/or possible misstatements that in our opinion are material for the
users of the financial statements for qualitative reasons.
We agreed with the supervisory board that misstatements in excess of 19.500, which are identified during the audit,
would be reported to them, as well as smaller misstatements that in our view must be reported on qualitative grounds.
Teaming and use of specialists
We ensured that the audit team included the appropriate skills and competences which are needed for the audit of a
listed client. We included specialists in the areas of forensics and income tax.
Our focus on fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations
Our responsibility
Although we are not responsible for preventing fraud or non-compliance and we cannot be expected to detect non-
compliance with all laws and regulations, it is our responsibility to obtain reasonable assurance that the financial
statements, taken as a whole, are free from material misstatement, whether caused by fraud or error. The risk of not
detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve
collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
Our audit response related to fraud risks
We identified and assessed the risks of material misstatements of the financial statements due to fraud. During our
audit we obtained an understanding of the company and its environment and the components of the system of internal
control, including the risk assessment process and the management board’s process for responding to the risks of fraud
and monitoring the system of internal control and how the supervisory board exercises oversight, as well as the
outcomes.
We refer to Section 1.7 ‘Risk Management of the management board report for the management board’s risk
assessment after consideration of potential fraud risks.
We evaluated the design and relevant aspects of the system of internal control and in particular the fraud risk
assessment, as well as the Socfin code of conduct that the company adheres to and supports and the whistle blower
procedures.. We evaluated the design and the implementation of internal controls designed to mitigate fraud risks.

Mopoli Annual Report 2023/2024 - 41
As part of our process of identifying fraud risks, we evaluated fraud risk factors with respect to financial reporting
fraud, misappropriation of assets and bribery and corruption in close co-operation with our forensic specialists. We
evaluated whether these factors indicate that a risk of material misstatement due to fraud is present.
We incorporated elements of unpredictability in our audit. We also considered the outcome of our other audit
procedures and evaluated whether any findings were indicative of fraud or non-compliance.
We addressed the risks related to management override of controls, as this risk is present in all companies. For these
risks we have performed procedures among other things to evaluate key accounting estimates for management bias
that may represent a risk of material misstatement due to fraud, in particular relating to important judgment areas and
significant accounting estimates as disclosed in Note 1.B. Significant judgements, estimates and assumptions’ to the
financial statements, including the recoverability of other receivables. We refer to our audit response in the key audit
matter Risk of management override on the recoverability assess ment of the other receivables’.
We have also used data analysis to identify and address high-risk journal entries and evaluated the business rationale
(or the lack thereof) of significant extraordinary transactions, including those with related parties.
With regards to the presumed risk of fraud in revenue recognition, we evaluated the interest from other receivables
(financial income) in particular gives rise to such risks. We designed and performed audit procedures responsive to
this presumed fraud risk, including a recalculation of the interest income using the effective interest rate method based
on the signed agreements.
We considered available information and made enquiries of relevant members of the management board and the
supervisory board.
The fraud risks we identified, enquiries and other available information did not lead to specific indications for fraud
or suspected fraud potentially materially impacting the view of the financial statements.
Our audit response related to risks of non-compliance with laws and regulations
We performed appropriate audit procedures regarding compliance with the provisions of those laws and regulations
that have a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
Furthermore, we assessed factors related to the risks of non-compliance with laws and regulations that could
reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the financial statements from our general industry experience,
through discussions with the management board, reading minutes, and performing substantive tests of details of classes
of transactions, account balances or disclosures.
We have been informed by the management board that there was no correspondence with regulatory authorities and
remained alert to any indication of (suspected) non-compliance throughout the audit. Finally, we obtained written
representations that all known instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations have been disclosed to us.
Our audit response related to going concern
As disclosed in section Going concern in Note 1.E to the financial statements, the financial statements have been
prepared on a going concern basis. When preparing the financial statements, the management board made a specific
assessment of the company’s ability to continue as a going concern and to continue its operations for the foreseeable
future.
We discussed and evaluated the specific assessment with the management board exercising professional judgment and
maintaining professional skepticism.

Graphics
Mopoli Annual Report 2023/2024 - 42
We considered whether the management board’s going concern assessment, based on our knowledge and
understanding obtained through our audit of the financial statements or otherwise, contains all relevant events or
conditions that may cast significant doubt on the company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude
that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in
the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion.
Based on our procedures performed, we did not identify material uncertainties about going concern. Our conclusions
are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors report. However, future even ts or conditions
may cause a company to cease to continue as a going concern.
Our key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the
financial statements. We have communicated the key audit matter to the supervisory board. The key audit matter is
not a comprehensive reflection of all matters discussed.
In comparison with previous year, the nature of our key audit matter did not change.
Risk of management override on the recoverability assessment of the other receivables
Risk
The company is exposed to the risk that Socfinaf and Afico default on meeting their obligations.
As loans issued to these related companies (non-current and current other receivables) represent
a significant portion of the company’s total assets, a default may have a material impact on the
company’s financial position and results.
We consider the valuation of the loans issued to related companies and determination of the
expected credit losses a key audit matter because this is an area that involves significant
judgment about the recoverability of the other receivables and determines the ability of the
company to fulfil its obligations and to continue as a going concern. We have also taken into
account the risks related to management override of controls, including management bias that
may represent a risk of material misstatement due to fraud.
We refer to Note 1.B. Significant judgements, estimates and assumptions’ to the financial
statements, where the management board disclosed the regular control of the financial position
of the parties of the loans to assess the recoverability of other receivables and the consideration
of the potential impact of climate change on this assessment. The management board concluded
that the calculated impact of expected credit loss is almost 0 as at 30 June 2024 and therefore
decided not to recognize an allowance for expected credit losses in the financial statements.
The credit risk is disclosed in Note 1.B. ‘Risk Management Policies’ to the financial statements.
Our audit
approach
Our audit procedures included, amongst others, evaluating the appropriateness of the company’s
accounting policies related to recognition of expected credit losses in accordance with IFRS 9
Financial Instruments. We evaluated whether the accounting policies and methods applied for
making estimates have been applied consistently. We also evaluated the design of internal
controls of the processes underlying the estimation process insofar relevant to our audit of the
financial statements.
Furthermore, we have performed the following substantive audit procedures:
We reconciled the outstanding loan balances to the loan agreements.

Risk of management override on the recoverability assessment of the other receivables
We evaluated the financial position of Socfinaf and Afico and determined that these related
companies have met their financial obligations towards the company throughout the year
and up to the date of this report.
We confirmed our understanding of the company’s data, assumptions and method used to
determine the expected credit losses on the loans issued to the related companies, that is
based on its historical credit loss experience, adjusted for prospective factors specific to
the debtors and the economic environment, and evaluated the management board’s
estimation of the recoverability and credit risk factors applied
We challenged whether the management boards conclusion that the calculated expected
credit losses is almost 0 and therefore no allowance for expected credit losses is recognized
in the financial statements, is appropriate in the circumstances and adequately disclosed.
Finally, we evaluated the accuracy and completeness of the relevant disclosures in accordance
with the relevant paragraphs and application guidance of IFRS 7: Financial instruments:
disclosures’.
Key
observations
We concur with the management boards conclusion that the calculated impact of expected credit
loss is almost 0 as at 30 June 2024 and therefore no allowance for expected credit losses is
recognized in the financial statements.

The management board is responsible for the preparation of the other information, including the management report
in accordance with Part 9 of Book 2 of the Dutch Civil Code and other information required by Part 9 of Book 2 of
the Dutch Civil Code. The management board and the supervisory board are responsible for ensuring that the

Description of responsibilities regarding the financial statements
Responsibilities of the management board and the supervisory board for the
financial statements
The management board is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in
accordance with EU-IFRSs and Part 9 of Book 2 of the Dutch Civil Code. Furthermore, the management board is
responsible for such internal control as the management board determines is necessary to enable the preparation of the
financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
As part of the preparation of the financial statements, the management board is responsible for assessing the company’s
ability to continue as a going concern. Based on the financial reporting framework mentioned, the management board
should prepare the financial statements using the going concern basis of accounting unless the management board
either intends to liquidate the company or to cease operations or has no realistic alternative but to do so. The

Graphics
Mopoli Annual Report 2023/2024 - 45
management board should disclose events and circumstances that may cast significant doubt on the company’s ability
to continue as a going concern in the financial statements.
The supervisory board is responsible for overseeing the company’s financial reporting process.
Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objective is to plan and perform the audit engagement in a manner that allows us to obtain sufficient and
appropriate audit evidence for our opinion.
Our audit has been performed with a high, but not absolute, level of assurance, which means we may not detect all
material errors and fraud during our audit.
Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could
reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
The materiality affects the nature, timing and extent of our audit procedures and the evaluation of the effect of
identified misstatements on our opinion.
We have exercised professional judgment and have maintained professional skepticism throughout the audit, in
accordance with Dutch Standards on Auditing, ethical requirements and independence requirements. The Information
in support of our opinion section above includes an informative summary of our responsibilities and the work
performed as the basis for our opinion.
Our audit further included among others:
Performing audit procedures responsive to the risks identified, and obtaining audit evidence that is sufficient and
appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion
Obtaining an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the
company’s internal control
Evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and
related disclosures made by the management board
Evaluating the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures
Evaluating whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that
achieves fair presentation
Communication
We communicate with the supervisory board regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the
audit and significant audit findings, including any significant findings in internal control that we identify during our
audit. In this respect we also submit an additional report to the audit committee of the supervisory board in accordance
with Article 11 of the EU Regulation on specific requirements regarding statutory audit of public-interest entities. The
information included in this additional report is consistent with our audit opinion in this auditor’s report.
We provide the supervisory board with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding
independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to
bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with the supervisory board, we determine the key audit matters: those matters that
were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements. We describe these matters in our auditors report
unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, not
communicating the matter is in the public interest.
