Speaking of your role as an aggregator, what are your ambitions for the industry?« We are proud of our role as an aggregator and we recognize its importance. COSUMAR remains true to its sector development strategy through integration. We already support nearly 80,000 farmers in beet and cane growing. We ensure their whole production and help them improve their yields through R&D, which led to the use of high-performance monogerm seeds for example, or through mechanization development. This is an ambitious target: increasing yields to over 12 tons of sugar per hectare by 2016 and being able by 2020 to meet over 56% of the country’s needs for locally produced sugar. »
This target also involves improved industrial capacity and productivity…« Indeed, considerable investment and modernization efforts have been made at the level of our manufacturing facilities. These efforts are part of an ongoing drive for improvement on our whole processes. The refinery, the SUNABEL sugar factory and the packaging lines went through major transformations last year, as Lean Management was implemented on our production lines, allowing for optimized costs and improved yields. »
2014 was clearly a year of change for COSUMAR. what does your new visual identity mean from a strategic angle?« We have a corporate development plan with a self-explanatory name: “Cap to Excellence 2016”. This project aims to radically transform our company’s entire orientation so as to place customers at the heart of our organization. COSUMAR’s new identity is the visual expression of this approach. It brings a first message to all our customers and partners: COSUMAR is an innovative, modernizing and dynamic company. »
Could you tell us more about COSUMAR’s new ambitions?« At COSUMAR, we strive to meet our customers’ expectations through consistent and impeccable product quality, which we modernize and adapt to the various consumption modes. Our ambitions are both Moroccan, with the willingness to continuously increase national production, and international, with the implementation of a powerful export policy that targets an export volume of over 200,000 tons per year by 2016.
In order to achieve these ambitions we enjoy new synergies within the Group, including WILMAR, a world-leading agribusiness that fully supports our development strategy in the African continent. All of our Moroccan institutional partners are also committed to supporting our responsible corporate approach as part of a logic of shared wealth development and sustainability for our business. »

A MODERNIZED AND ENHANCED LOGO
as part of “IsHRaQ” project, COsUMaR’s visual identity was reviewed with softened colors, typeface and shapes. It symbolizes the project values through openness to our partners, direct customers direct and final consumers while emphasizing the naturalness of our products. COsUMaR is thus positioned as a customer-friendly umbrella brand that is closer to its consumers.
Modernity and dynamismthe company’s emblematic colours are asserted in this new COsUMaR logo, though softened with a luminous halo. arabic and Latin fonts have been modernized and refined at the curve level, just like the cartouche which still includes COsUMaR’s emblems and the now curved base of which evokes a smile, the symbol of a relationship of mutual trust with all its customers and partners.
Affirming valuesthis new COsUMaR logo subtly celebrates the values of pleasure, friendliness, but also energy and naturality of sugar, a vital product embedded in the Moroccan culture and tradition. It enables COsUMaR to reaffirm its position as a brand with a strong commercial ambition. a customer-oriented brand committed to quality and innovation.
«The «Ishraq» project is a key stage
for the successful implementation of our
«Cap to Excellence 2016» corporate project, which includes in its fundamentals
a new approach to enhancing COsUMar and its entire product range. Through the modernization of our image
and of our entire product packaging, «Ishraq» is thus fully in line with our continuous improvement

“The development of our export activity is based
on recognized know-how and more than 85 years of expertise. In 2016, we aspire to export a volume
of sugar exceeding 200 000 tons and to become a reconized sugar player in all of africa and the Middle-East.
We also plan to make of the export a fully-fledged business unit in house.

EXpORT, A STRONG GROWTH DRIVER FOR COSuMAR
With an installed production capacity of 1.65 million tons per year that exceeds domestic consumption by 1.2 million tons, COSUMAR began its first exports of refined sugar in 2013 to West African countries and to countries surrounding the Mediterranean.
with total estimated needs of 1.2 million tons of sugar per year, local consumption is approximately 36 kg of sugar per capita and per year, placing Moroccans among the world’s largest sugar consumers.
the national market has achieved a certain maturity, stabilizing around an annual increase of 1.8%, hence the importance for COsUMaR to find other growth drivers through the implementation of an export and international market penetration strategy.
COsUMaR aims to expand internationally and mainly to capture the african market where there is strong demand and a deficit of 6 million tons of sugar per year.
Both export and Cosumar’s internationalization eventually represent strong growth prospects. several paths for geographical diversification are thus simultaneously explored on the continent.
this approach is based on the competitiveness of the company which wishes to supply the african market with sugar and offer a quality range of products.
In 2014, COsUMaR has gradually ramped up in production as part of an approach that aims to develop the export department into a fully-fledged business unit. since the sugar export target was to exceed 200.000 tons per year by 2016, and more than 400.000 tons per year in the medium term according to the opportunities offered by the potential market and while continuing to ensure the regular supply of the national market in sugar.
this internationalization strategy converges with that of our reference shareholder. wILMaR intends to rely on COsUMaR to grow its presence in west africa, thereby offering the company new opportunities for synergy that bring development acceleration.
COsUMaR currently exports white sugar to about ten countries of africa and the Mediterranean basin under a regime of temporary admission not benefiting from any subsidy.

THE 2013-2014 CROp YEAR: A VERY GOOD YEAR
Coverage rate of 40% the coverage rate increased from 29% in 2013 to 40% in 2014. COsUMaR is now targeting 56% by 2020. this challenge still requires a strong and continuous impro-vement in productivity performance.
Mixed results for sugar cane Farmers’ substantial indebtedness and the low attractiveness of this crop have negatively impacted the plantation level which was only 3.272 hectares. Production decreased compared to the previous crop year, mainly due to a decline in yields caused by irrigation problems.
an action plan is currently underway, jointly with the Ministry of agriculture and Fisheries in order to revita-lize the plantings and improve performance through: selection of the best varieties, introduction of new frost-tolerant varieties, development of mechaniza-tion, and strengthening of R&D programmes.
2014-2015 outlookthe results recorded during crop year 2013-14 have positively impacted the start of crop year 2014-15, marked by the farmers’ strong demand for sugar beet. thus, the area sown under crop year 2014-15 is 56.700 hectares. also, the level of rainfall and the weather conditions recorded are a good sign for the 2015 beet crop year.
Sharp rise of sugar beet these results are due to the efforts made by COsUMaR and its partners for the strengthening of R&D, selection of the best varieties, development of mechanization, etc
• a sugar production in rise by+ 32 %
with 478.000 tonsof white sugar
extracted from local sugar crops in 2014.
• + 51%as compared to
2013 with a productionof 3.2 million tons
of sugar beet.
• a yield of61.1 tons per hectare
and a sugar yield of10.4 tons
per hectare.
“The positive results of the 2013-2014 sugar
crop year are the results of the efforts made by all partners
of the sector.The Group’s strategy revolves around several axes which have proved their effectiveness:
technical train mechanization; improved crop varieties; strengthening of r&D; integration of the best international practice.
This strategy, combined with favourable weather conditions, has allowed to achieve an average national performance
of 10.4T/ha for beet cultivation, with an objective of 12 T/ha by 2016.”

39% for sugar cane • technical train at the level of Moulouya: 100%
«Mechanization plays a paramount part in the improved
performance of sugar beet. In two years of effort,
sUCraFOr has implemented an integral mechanization of the sugar beet technical train:
every stage from sowing to harvest is mechanized! Cultivation operations have been a 100 % modernized
over the whole area sown to sugar beet. The results improved, as did the income of farmers,
who are becoming ever more numerous to be willing to grow sugar beets».

OpTIMISING ENERGY
energy consumption has been significantly reduced at all the Group’s sites, thanks to an energy saving strategy based on the automation of certain processes, use of new, more economic techniques, introduction of high efficiency equipment, resizing of utility circuits, full production of white sugar, and re-use of the energy produced.
pROMOTING AN ENERGY MIX: FuEL, CLEAN, COAL AND BIOMASS
A new energy strategyCOsUMaR extends its strategic reflection to the exploration of new energy paths as a possible substitution of the increasingly expensive fuel. For this purpose, the Group has engaged in a project for the progressive conversion of its facilities to the use of other fuels, mainly biomass and clean coal. since this development requires large-scale investment, it will be carried out within 4 to 5 years according to a phased implementation approach.
energy alternatives In parallel with these optimization efforts, COSUMAR has developed the use of alternative sources of energy:
• SUNABeL MBK’s bagasse boilerIn 2014, the use of bagasse allowed to meet 32% of the factory’s overall need for thermal energy, which is its best performance since its installation in 2009.
• ensiled pulp as a substitute for pellets by SUTAensiled pulp permits a reduction in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. ensiled pulp production increased from 52.000 tons in 2013 to more than 81.000 tons in 2014.
COsUMaR is analyzing the options for a new, diversified and
environmentally friendly energy model, while pursuing a first step
for optimizing its consumption.

NATIONAL
Increase in Local production of sugar by 32%the 2014 sugar crop year generated a production of 478.000 tons of sugar, up by 32% compared to 2013. the coverage rate of market needs by national production stands at 40%.
the 2013-14 crop year also recorded an overall production of 3.2 million tons of sugar beet, in rise by 51% in comparison to the previous crop year with a significant evolution in the yield and sugar yield per hectare which respectively reached a national average of 61.1 tons of sugar per hectare and 10.4 tons of sugar per hectare.
the achievements of crop year 2013-14 have had a very positive impact on the start of the 2014-15 sugar crop year which was characterized by strong demand for sugar beet from farmers.
A stagnating marketsugar sales at the end of December 2014 reached 1.209 thousand tons. the inclement weather at the end of 2014, which caused several major traffic flows to break, have disturbed the movements of products to the affected areas, in particular at the southern area level.
ProspectsFully and responsibly assuming its role in ensuring a regular supply to the national market, COsUMaR has taken all necessary steps to carry out the seedling program for crop year 2014-15 under proper conditions. In addition, adequate rainfall distribution and agricultural dams levels offer better harvest forecasts for the 2015 sugar crop.
For sugar cane, the adoption of urgent measures for the development of new orchards, and the significant improvement of its overall attractiveness are prerequisites for guaranteeing its sustainability.
sugar cane is covered by an action plan to be implemented by FIMasUCRe and the Ministry of agriculture and Fisheries for the revival of this cropping.
INTERNATIONAL
Market situation after four years of a substantial surplus at global level, the year 2014 was marked by a small surplus. equilibrium was delayed due to the high inventory levels accumulated, which continued to weigh heavily on prices.
the year 2014 was again characterized by the continuing fall in sugar prices on the global market, although rates were significantly lower than in the previous two years. In terms of annual averages, raw sugar dropped by 4% in value in 2014, following decreases of 18% and 17% in 2013 and 2012 respectively.
the year 2014 also recorded a slight increase in price volatility on the global market compared with 2013. while in 2013, raw sugar prices had evolved within a range of 3.73 cents/pound, such fluctuation reached 4.00 cents/pound in 2014. Both white and raw sugar prices have fell by almost 9% in 2014, while the trading range has broadened to UsD 106.05/t against UsD 93.25/t in 2013.
2015 global prospectsFor next crop year, analysts anticipate a return to balance, even a deficit between demand and production at global level.
the global sugar market would thus get out of a long cycle of surplus that started in 2010-11. these years of surplus production have raised global sugar stocks to very high levels, representing nearly 44% of one year of consumption at the end of 2013-14, which should prevent an immediate increase in sugar prices on the global market.

CONSOLIDATED ACCOUNTSSUMMARY Of NOTeS TO THe CONSOLIDATeD ACCOUNTS
NOTE 1. ACCOUNTING RULES AND METHODS
1.1. Accounting standards
Pursuant to opinion No. 5 of the National Accounting Council (CNC), 26/05/2005 and in accordance with the provisions of Article 6, paragraph 6.3 of Circular No. 07/09 of Securities Ethics Council (CDVM) of 15 July 2009, the consolidated financial statements of COSUMAR Group are prepared in accordance with international accounting standards adopted in the European Union on 31 December 2012 and as published on that date.
The International accounting standards include IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards), IAS (International Accounting Standards) and their SIC and IFRIC interpretations (Standards Interpretations Committee and International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee).
The Group regularly monitors the latest publications of the IASB and IFRIC.
In 2013, the Group adopted the normative changes provided for by the IFRS repository regarding the IAS 19 revised standard, the evolution of which is the abolition of the corridor rule for the recognition of actuarial gains and losses. The latter are now fully recognized the year following their identification against other comprehensive income and the use of a generational mortality table.
Thus, in 2010, the Group has applied to the financial statements present in the revised IFRS 3 «Business combination», the main provisions of which is that Goodwill is only determined on the date of the takeover and that, from 2010, it was no longer possible to adjust it beyond the evaluation period. Now, additional acquisitions after majority takeover do not change the amount of Goodwill.
In 2009, the COSUMAR Group opted, as part of the IAS 1 standard, for the presentation of the comprehensive income in two Statements:
• Statement detailing components of income (statement of income);
• Statement that starts with the income and detailing other components of comprehensive income (statement of com-prehensive income).
1.2. Principles of consolidation
The consolidated accounts are prepared under the historical cost convention except for certain categories of assets and liabilities in accordance with the principles embodied in IFRS.
All COSUMAR Group companies are consolidated from the annual accounts for the financial year ended 31 December 2014.
In accordance with IFRS, there is no exemption to the Group’s perimeter of consolidation. The insignificant shareholdings are treated as AFS securities.
1.3. Tangible capital assets
Specific rule in the first adoption:
As part of the first application of IFRS standards and in accordance with the provisions of IFRS 1, the company has conducted, on January 1, 2006, the fair-value measurements of all of its intangible and tangible fixed assets, and has retained that value as deemed cost. Fair value measurements were conducted by independent experts.
Applicable principles as from January 1, 2006:
In accordance with IAS 16, tangible fixed assets are recorded at the historical cost or original manufacturing cost, reduced by the accumulated depreciation and, where applicable, by any accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation is charged based on the useful life.
The amortization method chosen by the Group is the linear method.
1.4. Stocks
Inventories are valued at lower cost or net realizable value.
The cost reflects the cost of procurement or production costs incurred to bring inventories to the state and the place where they are. These include, based on a normal level of activity, direct and indirect costs of production. Production costs are generally calculated using the weighted average cost method.
The net realizable value of inventories is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs to complete products and estimated costs necessary to complete the sale.
1.5. employee benefits
The Group’s obligations under the plans for health coverage and defined benefit at retirement allowances are determined in accordance with IAS 19, based on the method of projected unit credit, taking into account the specific economic conditions in Morocco.
The commitments are covered by provisions recorded in the balance sheet as to the acquisition of rights by employees.
The retirement benefits are also subject to a provision. The latter is calculated taking into account the likelihood of the presence of employees in the Group on their date of retirement. This provision is updated at each closure.
