EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

This Form 6-K is incorporated by reference into our registration statements on Form F-3 (Registration No. 333-283113) and Form S-8 (Registration No. 333-282263).

 

On May 14, 2025, Moolec Science (Luxembourg) made effective a reverse stock split of its Ordinary Shares (the “Reverse Stock Split”) on the consolidation ratio of ten-to-one (the “Consolidation Ratio”), pursuant to which holders of Ordinary Shares received one Ordinary Share for every ten Ordinary Shares held.

 

On May 22, 2025 (the “Effective Date”), Moolec Science SA (“the Company”) changed its jurisdiction by Moolec Science (Luxembourg) discontinuing from the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and transferring by way of continuation to the Cayman Islands as Moolec Science (Cayman Islands) pursuant to Part XII of the Companies Act (Revised) of the Cayman Islands (the “Redomiciliation”). On the Effective Date, all of the shares of Moolec Science (Luxembourg), par value $0.10 per share (the “Ordinary Shares”) by operation of law became shares of Moolec Science (Cayman Islands), par value $0.10 per share (the “Shares”).

 

After completion of the Reverse Stock Split, all references to our Ordinary Shares, share data, per share data and related information have been adjusted for the Consolidation Ratio to reflect the Reverse Stock Split. The Reverse Stock Split has consolidated each ten of our Ordinary Shares into one Ordinary Share, with a new par value of $0.10 per Ordinary Share. Upon completion of the Reverse Stock Split, no fractional Ordinary Shares were issued, and any fractional Ordinary Shares resulting from the Reverse Stock Split were rounded up to the nearest whole Ordinary Share. Except for the adjustments that resulted from the treatment of fractional shares, the Reverse Stock Split did not have any dilutive effect on our shareholders.

 

The Business Combination Agreement, initially announced on April 17, 2025, (the “Business Combination” or “BCA”), in which the Company, Bioceres Group Limited (formerly, Bioceres Group PLC, one of the main shareholders of the Company) (“Bioceres Group”), Gentle Technologies Corp (“Gentle Tech”), and Nutrecon LLC (“Nutrecon”) entered into a business combination agreement (the “Bioceres Group Business Combination Agreement” or the “Business Combination Agreement”), pursuant to which several parties transferred their respective holdings in Bioceres Group, Nutrecon and Gentle Tech (together, the “Contributed Entities”) to the Company, in exchange of a combination of newly issued Company’s shares, and warrants, to the shareholders of the Contributed Entities. Following the closing, Moolec became the legal parent company of the combined group comprising Bioceres Group, Gentle Tech, and Nutrecon. was ratified by Moolec shareholders at the Extraordinary General Meeting (“EGM”) held on June 16, with 77% of the outstanding shares present at the meeting, and 98% of the votes cast were in favor of the transaction. From an accounting perspective and based on the guidance of IFRS 3 Bioceres Group Limited is deemed to be the accounting acquirer. The transaction was subsequently consummated on the same date, June 16, 2025 (the “Closing”).

 

The purpose of this report is to furnish updated unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information of Moolec Science SA in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X, reflecting the effect of the changes in the terms of the Secured Notes of one of Bioceres Group Limited former subsidiaries that resulted in the loss of de facto control of that subsidiary and consequently its deconsolidation (the equity method was applied to account for the investment in such former subsidiary, as well as for other investments in joint ventures and associates), the Reverse Stock Split and the closing of the Business Combination, which occurred after the filing of our prior pro forma financial information on April 17, 2025 (the “April 2025 Pro Forma Financial Information”).

 

1


 

One of the key elements considered in the critical judgment of de facto control was the existence of a casting vote held by a Board member appointed by Bioceres Group Limited, which allowed Bioceres Group Limited to control Board decisions and, consequently, direct the strategic, financial, and operating policies of Bioceres Crop Solutions Corp.

 

In June 18, 2025, Bioceres Crop Solutions Corp. (BIOX), a public company controlled until that date by Bioceres Group Limited, entered into an amendment with the Secured Notes’ holders by which the holders of the Secured Notes waived the breach of covenants that lead to the default of the debt (specifically, the breach of covenants related to the Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio (determined as the ratio of (a) Consolidated Total Net Debt as of the last day of such Test Period to (b) Consolidated EBITDA of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries for such Test Period) of 3.75x as of March 31, 2025). retrospectively modifying the required Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio to 5x Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio and extended the maturity of the Secured Notes to August 31, 2027. In accordance with the terms of the amendments, effective June 24, 2025, Gloria Montaron Estrada, Enrique Lopez Lecube and Keith McGovern were replaced in Bioceres Crop Solutions Corp.’s Board of Directors by Milen Marinov, Noah Kolatch and Scott Crocco, who were nominated by certain holders of the Secured Notes. Bioceres Crop Solutions Corp. agreed, for so long as the Secured Notes remain outstanding, to continue to nominate Mssrs Marinov, Kolatch and Crocco (or such other persons as may nominated as their replacements) for additional terms as directors.

 

The effect of the changes in the terms of the Secured Notes of Bioceres Crop Solutions, one of the former subsidiaries of Bioceres Group Limited, resulted in the loss of de facto control of that subsidiary and consequently, its deconsolidation.

 

While Bioceres Crop Solutions Corp. was able to resolve the uncertainties regarding its financial plan through this agreement, as a result of the loss of control over Bioceres Crop Solutions Corp., access to financing that Bioceres S.A., its wholly owned subsidiary Bioceres LLC, Bioceres Group Limited and Moolec Science SA had until then was restricted or limited.

 

This information updates and supersedes the April 2025 Pro Forma Financial Information previously furnished in the Form 6-K dated April 17, 2025.

 

In June 2025, Bioceres S.A., one of the Argentine subsidiaries of Bioceres Group Limited, defaulted a portion of its financial debt that was due that month. As a result, Bioceres S.A. has initiated a debt restructuring process for its financial debt for an aggregate amount of $36.4 million. This process seeks to improve the debt profile of Bioceres S.A.

 

2


 

In July 2025, Bioceres LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Bioceres S.A., received a notice of default on its financial debt in the amount of $69.5 million. The creditor conducted a public auction to wit 3,062,500 pledged BIOX shares, pursuant to the New York Uniform Commercial Code. Management has responded to said creditor, reserving all rights, remedies, and defenses.

 

The defaults by Bioceres S.A. and Bioceres LLC do not have implications in other debts as there are no cross-default clauses on the remaining financial debt of the Group.

 

The aforementioned events and consequently raise a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt (or raise substantial doubt as contemplated by PCAOB standards) about the ability of the Bioceres Group and the Company to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements incorporated by reference in this form 6-K do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Currently, the Group lacks sufficient financial resources to meet its obligations or fully implement its business plan. Without securing additional capital, or achieving a successful financial restructuring process, the Group will not be able to sustain its operations.

 

Management has plans to address the Group’s financial situation as follows:

 

Currently, management is working on the financial restructuring process of Bioceres S.A.’s outstanding debt, proposing among other alternatives the extension of the maturity of current debt and the use of the Group’s cash inflows from operating activities, as well as obtaining the necessary capital to fully execute the Group’s business plan.

 

Management expects that certain shareholders and/or investors will continue or commence to provide new financing lines.

 

A dedicated Restructuring Committee has been established to address and implement the aforementioned financial restructuring process.

 

However, there is no assurance that the restructuring process will be successful, that investors and shareholders will continue to provide financing, or that the Group’s future operations will generate profitability. The uncertainty surrounding the ability to secure additional funding and the potential for continued operational losses contribute to raise a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt (or raise substantial doubt as contemplated by PCAOB standards) about the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The consolidated financial statements included and/or incorporated by reference in this form 6-K do not include any adjustments that may be required to address the potential impacts on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications liabilities, should the Group be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

For the purposes of this Registration Statement, references to the “Company,” “Moolec,” “we,” “our,” “us”, “the Group” and similar terms mean, as of any time prior to the Effective Date, Moolec Science (Luxembourg) and, after the Effective Date, Moolec Science (Cayman Islands).

EX-99.1 2 ea025241101ex99-1_moolec.htm UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Exhibit 99.1

 

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

Introduction

 

Moolec is providing the following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information to aid you in your analysis of the financial aspects of the BCA, which effective closing date was June 16, 2025 (“The closing date”).

 

The following unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information is presented to give effect to the BCA, including other relevant events and circumstances occurred on or after Closing. The unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of financial position as of December 31, 2024, the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of income for the six-months ended December 31, 2024 and the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of income for the year ended June 30, 2024 (together, the “Unaudited Pro Forma Information”) are based upon, derived from, and should be read in conjunction with (i) the Moolec 2024 Audited Financial Statements, which are included as exhibit 99.2 in this Form 6-K,  (ii) the Bioceres Group 2024 Audited Financial Statements, which are included as exhibit 99.3 in this Form 6-K, (iii) the Moolec December 2024 Interim Unaudited Financial Statements, which are included s exhibit 99.4 in this Form 6-K and (iv) the Bioceres Group December 2024 Interim Unaudited Financial Statements, which are included s exhibit 99.5 in this Form 6-K.

 

The accompanying Unaudited Pro Forma Information give effect to adjustments that are (i) directly attributable to the Business Combination, (ii) factually supportable, and (iii) with respect to the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of income, expected to have a continuing impact on the consolidated results.

 

On June 20, 2024 Bioceres Crop Solutions Corp., a subsidiary of Bioceres Group Limited, implemented material modifications to the economic terms of its Secured Notes. As a result of these changes, Bioceres Group Limited lost the de facto control over said subsidiary, leading to its deconsolidation in accordance with applicable accounting standards. Management evaluated if the deconsolidation of Bioceres Corp Solutions Corp qualified as a discontinued operation under IFRS 5, concluding it did not, as the loss of control was not the result of a voluntary strategic decision but rather of external circumstances beyond the Company’s control.

 

The unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of financial position assumes that the Business Combination and the deconsolidation, explained above, was consummated on December 31, 2024, the unaudited pro forma consolidated income statements assume that the Business Combination and deconsolidation was consummated on July 1, 2023.The BCA will be accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting under the provisions of IFRS 3 “Business Combinations” (“IFRS 3”), with Bioceres Group Limited determined to be the accounting acquirer under this guidance.

 

1


 

Under IFRS 3, all assets acquired and liabilities assumed are generally recorded at their acquisition date fair value. For the purposes of preparing the Unaudited Pro Forma Information, the fair value of Moolec’s identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on a preliminary estimate of fair value. The pro forma information reflects the actual information and assumptions used at the time of Closing, except for the number of outstanding shares, which was updated on this pro forma to reflect the shares issued as of the closing date. Consequently, the earnings per share (EPS) and other sections presented in the pro forma information were adjusted accordingly. Certain preliminary estimates were used which will be updated upon finalization of the purchase accounting in our historical financial statements for periods reflecting the acquisition. Management believes the estimated fair values used for the assets to be acquired and liabilities to be assumed are based on reasonable assumptions. Preliminary fair value estimates may change as additional information becomes available and such changes could be material.

 

The Unaudited Pro Forma Information has been prepared by management in accordance with the bases outlined herein and is not necessarily indicative of the consolidated financial position or results of operations that would have been realized had the Business Combination occurred as of the dates indicated, nor is it meant to be indicative of any anticipated consolidated financial position or future results of operations that we will experience after the Business Combination. In addition, the accompanying unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of income do not include any expected cost savings or operating synergies, which may be realized subsequent to the Business Combination or integration-related items.

 

We prepared the following Unaudited Pro Forma Information in accordance with Article 11 or Regulation S-X by applying certain pro forma adjustments to Moolec and Bioceres Group historical consolidated financial statements. The actual adjustments to the Moolec consolidated financial statements for future periods will depend upon a number of factors and additional information that is not yet available. Accordingly, the actual adjustments that will appear in the Moolec consolidated financial statements for future periods will differ from these pro forma adjustments, and those differences may be material.

 

We have based the pro forma adjustments on available information and certain assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PROFORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

Description of the Transaction

 

The Business Combination consists of Moolec’s strategic business combination with Bioceres Group, Gentle Tech, and Nutrecon, resulting in an enlarged company structure with Moolec as the parent company. Subject to the terms and conditions of the BCA, several parties will transfer their respective holdings in the Contributed Entities to Moolec (Cayman Islands). In exchange, Moolec (Cayman Islands) will issue a combination of newly issued shares and warrants of Moolec (Cayman Islands) to the shareholders of the Contributed Entities.

  

Accounting for the Business Combination – basis of presentation

 

The Unaudited Pro Forma Information has been prepared using the acquisition method of accounting under the provisions of IFRS 3 and is based on the historical financial information of Moolec and Bioceres Group reflecting the business combination that was effectively closed on June 16, 2025. The purchase price allocation applied in the Unaudited Pro Forma Information reasonably reflects the fair values determined as of the acquisition date. For the purposes of this pro forma presentation, the only adjustment made to the historical financial information relates to the number of ordinary shares issued as of the closing date, which has been updated accordingly. As a result, earnings per share (EPS) and other related footnotes have been adjusted to reflect the updated share count. Acquisition accounting is dependent upon certain valuations and other studies that have yet to be completed. Accordingly, the purchase price allocation included herein is preliminary and has been presented solely for the purpose of providing pro forma financial information. The actual purchase price allocation used by the preparation of the Unaudited Pro Forma Information will be revised as additional information becomes available and as additional analyses are performed. The process for estimating the fair values of identifiable intangible assets and certain tangible assets requires the use of judgment in determining the appropriate assumptions and estimates. Differences between preliminary estimates in the Unaudited Pro Forma Information and the final acquisition accounting will materialize and could have a material impact on the accompanying pro forma condensed consolidated financial information and the combined company’s future consolidated financial statements.

 

The Business Combination was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting under the provisions of IFRS 3, with Bioceres Group determined to be the accounting acquirer under this guidance. The factors that were considered in determining that Bioceres Group should be treated as the accounting acquirer in the Business Combination were (i) Bioceres Group Limited, which is the largest entity, obtained the largest share of votes in the combined entity (approximately 57%), (ii) the composition of the board of directors in the surviving entity and other committees (audit, compensating and nominating), and (iii) the composition of senior management of the surviving entity.

 

Going Concern

 

In June 2025, Bioceres S.A., one of the Argentine subsidiaries of Bioceres Group Limited, defaulted a portion of its financial debt that was due that month. As a result, Bioceres S.A. has initiated a debt restructuring process for its financial debt for an aggregate amount of $36.4 million. This process seeks to improve the debt profile of Bioceres S.A.

 

In July 2025, Bioceres LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Bioceres S.A., received a notice of default on its financial debt in the amount of $69.5 million. The creditor conducted a public auction to wit 3,062,500 pledged BIOX shares, pursuant to the New York Uniform Commercial Code. Management has responded to said creditor, reserving all rights, remedies, and defenses.

 

The defaults by Bioceres S.A. and Bioceres LLC do not have implications in other debts as there are no cross-default clauses on the remaining financial debt of the Group.

 

The aforementioned events raise a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt (or raise substantial doubt as contemplated by PCAOB standards) about the ability of the Bioceres Group and the Company to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements incorporated by reference in this form 6-K do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Currently, the Group lacks sufficient financial resources to meet its obligations or fully implement its business plan. Without securing additional capital, or achieving a successful financial restructuring process, the Group will not be able to sustain its operations.

 

6


 

Management has plans to address the Group’s financial situation as follows:

 

Currently, management is working on the financial restructuring process of Bioceres S.A.’s outstanding debt, proposing among other alternatives the extension of the maturity of current debt and the use of the Group’s cash inflows from operating activities, as well as obtaining the necessary capital to fully execute the Group’s business plan.

 

Management expects that certain shareholders and/or investors will continue or commence to provide new financing lines.

 

A dedicated Restructuring Committee has been established to address and implement the aforementioned financial restructuring process.

 

However, there is no assurance that the restructuring process will be successful, that investors and shareholders will continue to provide financing, or that the Group’s future operations will generate profitability. The uncertainty surrounding the ability to secure additional funding and the potential for continued operational losses contribute to raise a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt (or raise substantial doubt as contemplated by PCAOB standards) about the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The consolidated financial statements incorporated by reference in this form 6-K and used for this proforma financial information do not include any adjustments that may be required to address the potential impacts on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications liabilities, should the Group be unable to continue as a going concern.

The equity method was used to calculate the “Share of profit or loss of joint ventures and associates” of Biox which amounts to $2,260,724. Adjustment was determined as follows:

 

Deconsolidation of the results from Associates and joint ventures from BIOX

 

Synertech Industrias S.A.:     (226,651 )
Trigall Genetics.:     452,814  
BIOX investment results in BIOX using equity method:     (2,260,724 )
Adjustment:     (2,034,561 )

 

Column II is derived from the historical unaudited consolidated financial data of Moolec for the six-month period ended December 31, 2024 derived from the Moolec December 2024 Interim Unaudited Financial Statements.

 

Column III shows the effect of the transfer of Bioceres Group’s 96.2% participation in Theo to the Bioceres Group shareholders (pro rata to the Bioceres Group shareholders’ holding of ordinary shares in Bioceres Group which will take place after Closing).

 

Column IV provides for the elimination of certain transactions between Bioceres Group and Moolec for the year ended June 30, 2024 mainly related to intercompany transactions. Also, certain reclassifications have been made to the historical statement of operations in order to conform to presentation standards to be used after the Business Combination.

 

Column V shows the transaction pro forma adjustments, which comprise mainly the following:

 

  (a) Higher amortization charges resulting from the increase in value of Moolec’s “Intangible assets”, as a consequence of the purchase price allocation. Useful lives of “Intangible assets” subject to amortization recorded as a consequence of the purchase price allocation are the same as those disclosed in the Moolec 2024 Audited Financial Statements.

  

  (b) The related income tax effects on the adjustments described in (b) above based on the enacted tax law in effect as of the end of 2024 (21%).

 

  (c) The number of ordinary shares has been calculated based on the actual number of shares issued upon consummation of the BCA as of June 16, 2025,

 

Column VI shows the unaudited interim consolidated combined financial data of Bioceres Group and Moolec for the six-month period ended December 31, 2024, after giving effect to the adjustments and reclassifications of Columns III, IV and V.

 

The unaudited pro forma loss per share data is computed by dividing the unaudited pro forma consolidated net income for the year attributable to the controlling shareholder by the number of Moolec’s outstanding shares after giving effect to the Business Combination and the Reverse Stock Split, including up to 6,891,358 ordinary shares to be issued by Moolec to effect the BCA.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

To the board of directors and shareholders of Moolec Science SA

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of Moolec Science SA and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2024 and 2023, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive loss, of changes in equity and of cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2024, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2024 in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

 

Substantial Doubt about the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 31.1 to the consolidated financial statements, as a result of the default situations described, Bioceres Group Limited has lost control over Bioceres Crop Solutions Corp., which had an impact on the Company’s access to financing and Bioceres Group Limited’s ability to support the Company. These events or conditions raise substantial doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 31.1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Company Reorganization

 

On December 30, 2022 (the “Closing Date”), the Company consummated the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement dated as of June 14, 2022, by and among LightJump Acquisition Corporation (“LightJump” or “SPAC”, a Delaware corporation), Moolec Science Limited (“Moolec” or “Moolec Science Limited”, a private limited company incorporated under the laws of England and Wales), the Company, and Moolec Acquisition, Inc. (“Merger Sub”, a Delaware corporation) (referred together with Moolec Science SA as “the Group”), as amended by the Business Combination Agreement dated as of November 18, 2022. Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement and related agreements:

 

  all the issued Moolec Ordinary Shares held by Moolec Shareholders were transferred and contributed in kind to the Company, and were issued, in accordance with the Exchange Ratio (1:0.6370485) (except that the Ordinary Shares to be reduced by the number of Ordinary Shares already held by Moolec Shareholders immediately prior to the transactions contemplated in the Business Combination Agreement (“Exchange”), being a total of 32,500,000 Ordinary Shares;

 

  each Moolec SAFE Holder contributed all of its rights and obligations under each Original SAFE to the Company in consideration for the issuance by the Company of a simple agreement for future equity on substantially identical terms (mutatis mutandis) with such adjustments as required under Luxembourg law;

 

  each Moolec Shareholder ceased to be the beneficial holder of such Moolec Ordinary Shares and subject to the submission of all filings required under Law (including any filings required to pay stamp duties), the Company was recorded as the registered holder of all Ordinary Shares so exchanged and transferred and is the legal and beneficial owner thereof;

 

  immediately prior to the Merger but after the Exchange, each Moolec SAFE Holder subscribed for, received and became holder of Ordinary Shares, in accordance with the respective Moolec SAFE, which included 262,260 Ordinary Shares; and

 

  SPAC caused the Certificate of Merger to be executed, acknowledged and filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in accordance with the applicable provisions of the DGCL in order to effectuate the Merger. The Merger became effective on December 30, 2022.

 

At the Merger and without any further action on the part of SPAC, Merger Sub, the Company or Moolec or the holders thereunder:

 

  each SPAC Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger, excluding those that had been redeemed subject to any redemption rights, were exchanged with the Company, against the issue by the Company of new Ordinary Shares, under the authorized share capital of the Company and subscribed by the contributing holders of SPAC Common Stock for one validly issued and fully paid Ordinary Share, delivered by the Company;

 

F-8


 

  as a result of the Merger, all SPAC Common Stock ceased to be outstanding, was canceled and ceased to exist;

 

  each share of common stock, par value $0.01 of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time was converted and exchanged for one (1) validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable ordinary share, par value $0.01 per share of the Company; and

 

  each SPAC Warrant that was outstanding immediately prior to the Merger, pursuant to the SPAC Warrant Agreement, ceased to represent a right to acquire one SPAC Common Stock and was converted in accordance with the terms of such SPAC Warrant Agreement, at the Merger, into a right to acquire one Ordinary Share of the Company on substantially the same terms as were in effect immediately prior to the Time under the terms of the SPAC Warrant Agreement.

 

Following the Merger:

 

  Moolec’s CFO was freely allotted the shares to satisfy the requirements under the CFO Consulting Agreement.

 

Prior to the Closing, on December 27, 2022, in connection with the vote to approve the adoption of the Business Combination Agreement at LightJump’s special meeting of stockholders, certain public holders of SPAC Common Stock exercised their right to redeem 2,572,848 shares of SPAC Common Stock for cash at a redemption price of approximately $10.23 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of approximately $ 26.3 million.

 

Accordingly, $1,988,975 remained in the Trust Account, for the benefit of the Company, after considering the redemption amount to be paid to the redeeming public holders of SPAC Common Stock.

 

Additionally, pursuant to the Backstop Agreement, the Sponsor exercised the right to elect to concede Sponsor shares instead of contributing the requisite cash amount under the Backstop Agreement by conceding a total of 200,276 Sponsor shares of SPAC Common Stock to each of Union Group Ventures Limited (“UGVL”) and THEO I SCSp. (“Theo”). UGVL and Theo each contributed $4,005,520 to the Company pursuant to the terms of the Backstop Agreement and in turn the Company issued 400,552 Ordinary Shares to each of UGVL and Theo.

 

As a result of the Exchange and following the consummation of the Transaction, Moolec and SPAC had become direct wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company and Moolec shareholders and SPAC shareholders became holders of issued Company Ordinary Shares of Moolec Science S.A.

 

In accordance with IFRS 2, for the excess of the fair value of shares deemed to have been issued by Moolec over the fair value of LightJump’s identifiable net assets at the date of the Company Reorganization, the Company recognized $ 42,705,061 as listing costs included in line item “Share based payment cost of listing shares” as an expense in the Statements of Operations, being a non-cash item.

 

Note 2. Business combination

 

Summary of ValoraSoy acquisition

 

On April 24, 2023 (the “Closing Date”), the Company completed the acquisition of ValoraSoy S.A. (“ValoraSoy Food Ingredients”) from the sellers in accordance with the share purchase agreement (“ValoraSoy SPA”) by and among the Company and the sellers (the “ValoraSoy Acquisition”). As a result of the ValoraSoy Acquisition, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding equity securities of ValoraSoy Food Ingredients from the sellers, and ValoraSoy Food Ingredients became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company for total aggregate consideration of $2.6 million, in a combination of cash ($2.4 million of which $1.9 million were an immediate cash payment and $0.5 million will be paid in 6 months from the Closing Date) and equity (64,093 shares equivalent to $0.2 million which will be transferred in 12 months from the Closing Date). The acquisition agreement also included a contingent payment in a fixed amount of equity amounting to 384,558 shares equivalent to $1.7 million, which was determined to be a remuneration agreement for future services (the “earn-out”) and consequently it was excluded from the consideration and will be recognized as an expense over the required service period. The contingent payment is payable in shares over a three-year period from 2024 to 2026 and subject to the achievement of certain EBITDA targets, as defined in the ValoraSoy SPA. Such payment is automatically forfeited on termination of employment.

Note 3. Accounting standards and basis of preparation

 

Note 3.1. Basis of Presentation 

 

These Consolidated Financial Statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and interpretations issued by the IFRS Interpretations Committee (IFRS IC) applicable to companies reporting under IFRS. The financial statements comply with IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

 

These consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year end of June 30, 2024, 2023 and 2022 were authorized and approved by the Board of Directors of Moolec Science SA on October 30, 2024, except with respect to the matters that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern discussed in Note 31.1. Going concern, which was approved by the Board of Directors on August 11, 2025.

 

F-10


 

Note 3.2. Basis of measurement

 

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis.

 

The significant accounting policies set out in Note 3 have been applied in preparing the consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2024 and 2023.

 

Due to the activities of the Group, costs and expenses presented in the consolidated statements of Comprehensive loss are classified according to their function. The consolidated statements of Financial Position has been prepared based on the nature of the transactions, distinguishing: (a) current assets from non-current assets, where current assets are intended as the assets that should be realized, sold or used during the normal operating cycle, or the assets owned with the aim of being sold in the short-term (within 12 months); (b) current liabilities from non-current liabilities, where current liabilities are intended as the liabilities that should be paid during the normal operating cycle or over the 12-month period subsequent to the reporting date.

 

Note 3.3. Functional and presentation currency

 

Items included in the Consolidated Financial Statements are measured using the currency of the primary economic market in which the Company operates (“the functional currency”). These Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in US Dollars, which is Moolec Science SA’s functional currency.

 

The Group has applied IAS 29 for its subsidiary in Argentina IAS 29 “Financial reporting in hyperinflationary economies”, which requires that the financial statements of an entity whose functional currency is the currency of a hyperinflationary economy, whether these are based on the historical cost method or the current cost method, be stated in terms of the measuring unit current at the closing date of the reporting period. For such purpose, the inflation produced since the acquisition date or the revaluation date, as applicable, must be computed in non-monetary items. The standard details a series of factors to be considered for concluding whether an economy is hyperinflationary, including, but not limited to, a cumulative inflation rate over a three-year period that approaches or exceeds 100%. Inflation accumulated in three years, as of June 30, 2018, was over 100%. It was for this reason that, in accordance with IAS 29, the Argentine economy had to be considered as hyperinflationary since July 1, 2018.

 

In an inflationary period, any entity that maintains an excess of monetary assets over monetary liabilities, will lose purchasing power, and any entity that maintains an excess of monetary liabilities over monetary assets, will gain purchasing power, provided that such items are not subject to an adjustment mechanism.

 

Briefly, the restatement mechanism of IAS 29 establishes that monetary assets and liabilities will not be restated because they are already expressed in a current unit of measurement at the end of the reporting period. Assets and liabilities subject to adjustments based on specific agreements, will be adjusted according to those agreements.

 

Non-monetary items measured at their current values at the end of the reporting period, such as the net realizable value or others, do not need to be restated. The remaining non-monetary assets and liabilities will be restated according to a general price index. The loss or gain for the net monetary position will be included in the net result of the reporting period, revealing this information in a separate line item.

 

The inflation adjustment to the initial balances was calculated by means of a conversion factor derived from the Argentine price indexes published by the National Institute of Statistics.

 

The Argentine price index as of June 30, 2024, and 2023 was 6,351.7145 and 1,709.6115, respectively.

 

ValoraSoy has Argentine pesos as functional currency, which is a currency of a hyperinflationary economy, as explained above. Therefore, as from the acquisition of ValoraSoy, in April 2023, the Company has applied IAS 29. Comparative figures presented in the consolidated financial statements in a stable currency are not adjusted for subsequent changes in the price levels or exchange rates.

 

F-11


 

Note 3.4. Use of estimates and judgements

 

The preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reporting amounts as presented in the Consolidated Financial Statements for all periods presented.

 

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Refer to Note 3 – Summary of significant accounting policies for further discussion on accounting treatments applied in preparation of the financial results of the Group as of the reporting period in compliance with IFRS. 

 

Note 4. Summary of significant accounting policies

 

Note 4.1. Basis of consolidation of subsidiary.

 

Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Company. The financial statements of the Company’s subsidiaries are included in the Consolidated Financial Statements from the date that control commences after the acquisition date. The accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed when necessary to align them with the policies adopted by the Company.

 

Note 4.2. Foreign currency

 

Transactions entered into by the Group in a currency other than their functional currency are recorded at the relevant exchange rates as of the date upon which such transactions occur. Foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the prevailing exchange rates as of the final day of each reporting period. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured based on historical cost in a foreign currency are translated at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Exchange differences arising on the retranslation of unsettled monetary assets and liabilities are recognized immediately through other comprehensive income in the consolidated statements of operations and are accumulated in equity (attributed to the non-controlling interests when appropriate).

 

Note 4.3. Intangible assets

 

Intangible assets include projects in-progress (mainly related to internally developing products), software, licenses and other rights, and the purchase value of customer relationships. The accounting policies regarding the recognition and measurement of such intangible assets are described below.

 

Internally Generated Intangible Assets

 

Expenditure on internally developed products is capitalized if it can be demonstrated that:

 

  - It is technically feasible to develop the product for it to be sold;

 

  - Adequate resources are available to complete the development;

 

F-12


 

  - There is an intention to complete and sell the product;

 

  - The Group is able to sell the product;

 

  - Sale of the product will generate future economic benefits; and

 

  - Expenditure on the project can be measured reliably.

 

Development expenditure not satisfying the above criteria and expenditure on the research phase of internal projects are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations as incurred. 

 

Capitalized development costs are amortized using the straight-line method over the periods the Group expects to benefit from selling the products developed.

 

Useful lives and amortization methods are reviewed every year as required by IAS 38.

 

Intangibles corresponding to the subsidiary in Argentina are adjusted for inflation applying IAS 29 in accordance with note 3.3.

 

The research and development process can be divided into several discrete steps or phases, which generally begin with discovery, validation and development and end with regulatory approval and commercial launch. The process for developing seed traits is relatively similar for both GM and non-GM traits. However, the two differ significantly in later phases of development. For example, obtaining regulatory approval for GM seeds is a far more comprehensive and lengthy process than for non-GM seeds. Although breeding programs and industrial biotechnology solutions may have shorter or simpler phases than those described below, the Group has used the industry consensus for seed-trait development phases to characterize its technology portfolios, which is generally divided into the following six phases:

 

  i) Discovery: The first phase in the technology development process is the discovery or identification of candidate genes or genetic systems, metabolites, or microorganisms potentially capable of enhancing specified plant characteristics or enabling an agro-industrial biotech solution.

 

  ii) Proof of concept: Upon successful validation of the technologies in model systems (in vitro or in vivo), promising technologies graduate from discovery and are advanced to the proof of concept phase. The goal of this phase is to validate a technology within the targeted organism before moving forward with technology escalation activities or extensive field validation.

 

  iii) Early development: In this phase, efficacy field trials are expanded to evaluate the expression level and phenological characteristics of the traits in multiple geographies and growing cycles, as well as other characteristics in order to optimize the technology’s performance in the targeted organisms. The goal of the early development phase is to evaluate the technical feasibility by identifying the best candidate to scale up the seed stock and to start the regulatory field trials.

 

  iv) Advanced development and deregulation: In this phase, extensive field tests are used to fully demonstrate the effectiveness of the technology for its intended purpose. In the case of GM traits, the process of obtaining regulatory approvals from the government agencies is started, and includes field trials for environmental, core and food safety data generation. For solutions involving microbial fermentation, industrial-scale runs are conducted.

 

F-13


 

  v) Pre-launch: This phase involves finalizing the regulatory approval process and preparing for the launch and commercialization of the technology. The range of activities in this phase includes seed increases, pre-commercial production, and product and solution testing with selected customers. Usually, a more detailed marketing strategy and preparation of marketing materials occur during this phase.

 

  vi) Product launch: In general, this phase, which is the last milestone of the research and development process, is carried out by the Group.

 

We determined that the Research & Development is more likely than not (“probable”) to become a commercialized product and reach compliance with IAS 38 criteria items at the end of the phase iii “Early Development”, when efficacy field trials are performed to determine the technical feasibility of the project by measuring parameters like expression level and phenological characteristics. The obtention of desired values for this set of data represents the strongest and clearest indication that the technical feasibility has been proved.

 

Impairment testing of intangible assets not yet available for use requires the use of significant assumptions for the estimation of future cash flows and the determination of discount rates. The significant assumptions and the determination of discount rates for the impairment testing of goodwill are further explained below.

 

Management’s estimations about the demonstrability of the recognition criteria for these assets and the subsequent recoverability represent the best estimate based on all the available evidence, existing facts and circumstances and using reasonable and supportable assumptions in cash flow projections. Therefore, the Consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that would result if the Group were unable to recover the carrying amount of the above-mentioned assets through the generation of enough future economic benefits.

 

Management has made the estimates considering the cash flow projections projected. The key assumptions used are the following:

 

Key assumption   Management’s approach
Discount rate   The discount rate used ranges between 10% and 20%
     
Budgeted market share  

The projected revenue from the products has been estimated by the management based on market penetration data for comparable products and technologies and on future expectations of foreseen economic and market conditions.

 

The value assigned is consistent with external sources of information.

     
Budgeted product prices   The prices estimated in the revenue projections are based on current and projected market prices for the products.
     
Budgeted gross margin   Based on past performance and management’s expectations for the future.

 

Intangible Assets Acquired in a Business Combination

 

Intangible assets acquired in a business combination are identified and recognized separately regarding goodwill when they meet the definition of intangible assets and their fair value can be measured reliably. Such intangible assets are recognized at fair value at acquisition date.

 

After the initial recognition, intangible assets acquired in a business combination are valued at cost, net of accumulated amortization, based on the expected attrition over the respective estimated periods for which the intangible assets will provide economic benefit to the Company.

 

Intangible assets acquisitions from ValoraSoy were restated by applying the corresponding adjustment coefficients (as mentioned in Note 2.3) since the date of the business combination and are translated at the exchange rate at the closing date of the financial statements.

 

F-14


 

Software

 

Software licenses are valued at cost, restated as mentioned in Note 2.3, net of the corresponding accumulated amortization and impairment losses. Amortization is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the intangible assets.

 

Licenses and Intellectual Property

 

Licenses acquired are recognized at cost, net of the corresponding accumulated amortization and impairment losses. Amortization is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the intangible assets.

 

The useful lives of the intangible assets are:

 

Gamma Linolenic Acid (“GLA”)     22 years  
SPC ® Technology     20 years  
IP Rights HB4 Technology - BIOX     5 years  
Customer relationship     20.5 years  

 

Note 4.4. Property, plant and equipment, net

 

Property, plant and equipment assets are measured at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment loss, except for those acquired in a business combination, which are then recorded at fair value; assets under construction and land are not depreciated. The cost of the property, plant and equipment is the fair value of the consideration initially provided to acquire or construct the item and prepare it for use. Subsequent costs incurred for repair and maintenance, are expensed in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income unless these costs meet the criteria for capitalization (i.e. extension of the useful life). Depreciation commences when the assets are ready for use.

 

Property, plant and equipment is depreciated based on the straight-line method over estimated useful lives.

 

Property, plant and equipment corresponding to our subsidiary in Argentina are adjusted for inflation applying IAS 29 in accordance with note 3.3.

 

An item of property, plant and equipment will be derecognized upon disposal or when future economic benefits from the continued use of the asset are no longer expected. The gain or loss arising from the derecognition is measured as the difference between the gain on sale and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognized through profit or loss.

 

The useful lives of property, plant and equipment are:

 

Storage     20 years  
Machinery and equipment     10 - 20 years  
Vehicles     5 years  
Furniture     10 years  
Computer equipment     3 - 5 years  

 

Note 4.5. Goodwill

 

Goodwill arising from the acquisition of a business is recorded at cost at the acquisition date, less accumulated impairment losses, if any.

 

The acquisitions related to a foreign operation is considered to be expressed in the functional currency of the foreign operation and are translated at the exchange rate at the reporting date. 

 

Goodwill acquisition related to the acquisition of ValoraSoy are recorded at cost, restated by applying the corresponding adjustment coefficients (as mentioned in Note 2.3) since the date of the business combination and are translated at the exchange rate at the closing date of the financial statements.

 

F-15


 

Note 4.5.1 Goodwill impairment

 

Goodwill is tested for impairment annually at the cash-generating unit level, which is the level at which the assets generate largely independent cash inflows and are monitored for internal management purposes. An impairment loss is recognized whenever the carrying amount of an asset or the related cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognized in the consolidated statements of profit or loss.

 

Impairment losses recognized for cash-generating units first reduce allocated goodwill and then the carrying amounts of the other assets in the unit on a pro rata basis.

 

Note 4.6. Inventories, net

 

Inventories are presented at the lower of acquisition cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined by the weighted average method. The net realizable value represents the estimated sale price less all the estimated termination and selling costs. The cost of finished products and products in progress includes the costs of raw materials, direct labor, other direct costs and the respective direct production expenses (based on normal operating capacity), excluding borrowing costs.

 

Inventories corresponding to the subsidiary in Argentina are adjusted for inflation applying IAS 29 in accordance with note 3.3.

 

Note 4.7. Trade receivables and other receivables

 

Trade receivables represent amounts owing for goods supplied by the Company prior to the end of the financial period which remain unpaid. They arise from transactions in the normal operating activities of the Company.

 

Trade receivables are carried at amortized cost, net of expected credit losses.

 

The Company derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another party. If the Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred asset, the Company recognizes its retained interest in the asset and an associated liability for amounts it may have to pay. If the Company retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a transferred financial asset, the Company continues to recognize the financial asset and also recognizes a collateralized borrowing for the proceeds received.

 

Note 4.8. Prepayments

 

Prepayments are measured at cost.

 

Note 4.9. Leases and right-of-use of assets

 

Due to the acquisition of ValoraSoy, the Group acquired rights to use a parcel of land, as part of the acquisition agreement. At the acquisition date, right-of-use of assets are initially recognized at fair value using a third-party valuation.

 

The ownership of the parcel of land is held by one of the sellers of ValoraSoy, who has entered into an agreement with the Company whereby he granted the right-of-use of the property to the Company until the effective fulfillment of his obligation to lift encumbrances, subdivide and assign the property to the Company within a period of twelve months or longer, if required by the proceedings, from the acquisition date.

 

The right-of-use of land shall not be depreciated due to the imminent transfer of ownership of the underlying asset to the Group which has an indefinite useful life.

 

F-16


 

Leases recognition

 

The Group assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease at inception of a contract. The Group recognizes a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability with respect to all lease agreements in which it is the lessee, except for short-term leases (defined as leases with a lease term of 12 months or less) and leases of low value assets. For these leases, the Group recognizes the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, and payments for these leases are presented in the statements of cash flows from operating activities.

 

If a contract is or contains a lease, a lease liability is recognized representing the present value of cash flows estimated to settle the contract, discounted using the discount rate implicit in the lease, or if that is not available, a discount rate which would be required if the underlying asset was acquired through a financing arrangement. The Company will also recognize a right-of-use assets that will generally be equal to the lease obligation at adoption. The right-of-use assets is subsequently amortized over the life of the contract.

 

The right-of-use assets are initially measured at cost, and subsequently at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability.

 

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate.

 

The lease liability is subsequently increased by the interest cost on the lease liability and decreased by lease payments made. It is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in index or rate, a change in the estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, or as appropriate, changes in the assessment of whether a purchase or extension option is reasonably certain to be exercised or a termination option is reasonably certain not to be exercised.

 

The lease liability is presented in the ‘Current/Non-current lease liability’ line and the right-of-use assets are presented in a single line in the consolidated balance sheet. In addition, the principal portion of the lease payments and the interest component are presented within financial activities and in the consolidated statements of cash flows.

 

Note 4.10. Cash and cash equivalents

 

For the purposes of the statements of financial position and statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and in banks and short-term highly liquid investments. Investments can be readily convertible to known amounts of cash and they are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value in the consolidated statements of financial position.

 

Note 4.11. Share capital and reserves

 

Ordinary shares

 

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares and share options are recognized as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects.

 

Foreign currency translation adjustment

 

The foreign currency translation reserve is used to record exchange differences arising from the translation of the financial statements from the functional currency of Argentine Peso into the presentation currency of US dollar.

 

Treasury shares and cost of own shares held

 

IAS 32 – Financial Instruments: Presentation (“IAS 32”) states that treasury shares must be deducted from equity and that no gain or loss shall be recognised on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of such shares. The Company elected to present their treasury shares as separate line items in the Consolidated statement of changes in equity. When treasury shares are sold or reissued subsequently, the amount received is recognized as an increase in equity with an increase in cost of own shares and the resulting surplus or deficit (if any) on the transaction is presented within share premium.

 

F-17


 

Note 4.12. Share-based payment arrangements

 

Share-based compensation benefits are provided to certain key employees under the Company Compensation Plan. Under this agreement, some employees, members of the executive management team and Directors, as defined by the Board of Directors, were granted share options and restricted stock units (“RSU”) in return for their services to the Group.

 

The Group receives services in exchange for its own equity instruments and does not have any obligation to settle the obligation with cash, so the plan is classified as equity settled. The only condition to be met is the delivery of service by the employee during a certain period as defined in the Agreements.

 

The fair value of options granted under the plan is measured at grant date and recognized in accordance with the requirements of IFRS 2, as an employee benefits expense, with a corresponding increase in equity.

 

The total expense is recognized over the vesting period, which is the period over which all of the specified vesting conditions are to be satisfied.

 

When the options are exercised, the Company issues the shares to the employee, members to the executive team and/or Directors. The proceeds received, net of any directly attributable transaction costs, are credited directly to equity.

 

Where shares are forfeited due to a failure by the employee to satisfy the service conditions, any expenses previously recognised in relation to such shares are reversed with effect from the date of the forfeiture.

 

The ValoraSoy acquisition agreement also included a contingent payment in a fixed amount of equity amounting to 384,558 shares equivalent to $1.7 million, which was determined to be a remuneration agreement for future services (the “earn-out”) and consequently it was excluded from the consideration and will be recognized as an expense over the required service period. The contingent payment is payable in shares over a three-year period from 2024 to 2026 and subject to the achievement of certain EBITDA targets, as defined in the ValoraSoy SPA. Such payment is automatically forfeited on termination of employment.

 

Note 4.13. Accounts payable and other liabilities

 

Trade and other payables are recognized when the Group has a legal or a constructive obligation, as a result of a past event, and it is probable that there may be an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits to settle the obligation and the obligation can be measured reliably. These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of financial year which are unpaid.

 

The Company derecognizes financial liabilities when, and only when, the Company’s obligations are discharged, canceled or have expired. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid and payable is recognized in profit or loss.

 

Other payables correspond mainly to employment obligations and provisions.

 

F-18


 

Note 4.14. Taxes

 

Current income tax

 

Current income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date in the country where the Group operates and generates taxable income.

 

Current income tax relating to items recognized directly in equity is recognized in equity and not in the consolidated statements of operations. 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.

 

Deferred tax

 

Deferred tax is provided using the liability method on temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes at the reporting date.

 

Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences, except:

 

  - When the deferred tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss, and

 

  - In respect of taxable temporary differences affiliated with investments in subsidiaries, associates, and interests in joint arrangements, when the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

 

Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, the carry forward of unused tax credits and any unused tax losses. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilized, except:

 

  - When the deferred tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss, and

 

  - In respect of deductible temporary differences affiliated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint arrangements, deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized.

 

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilized. Unrecognized deferred tax assets are re-assessed at each reporting date and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

 

Deferred tax relating to items recognized outside profit or loss is recognized outside profit or loss. Deferred tax items are recognized in correlation to the underlying transaction either in OCI or directly in equity.

Note 4.15. Subsidiaries and joint arrangements

 

Where the Company holds a controlling interest in an entity, such entity is classified as a subsidiary. The Company exercises control over such an entity if all three of the following elements are present: (i) the Company has the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of the entity, (ii) the Company is exposed to the variable returns of such entity; and (iii) the Company has power to affect the variability of such returns. Control is reassessed whenever facts and circumstances indicate that there may be a change in any of these elements of control.

 

De-facto control exists in situations where the Company has the practical ability to direct the relevant activities of an entity without holding the majority of the voting rights. In determining whether de facto control exists, the Company considers all relevant facts and circumstances, including: (i) the relative share of the Company’s voting rights with respect to both the size and dispersion of other parties who hold voting rights; (ii) substantive potential voting rights held by the Company and by other parties, (iii) other contractual arrangements; and (iv) historic patterns in voting attendance. As of the issuance of these Financial Statements, there is no de-facto control over any entity.

 

The Company is a party to a joint arrangement when there is a contractual arrangement that confers joint control over the relevant activities of the arrangement to the Group and at least one other party. Joint control is assessed under the same principles as control over subsidiaries.

 

The subsidiaries and joint arrangements of the Company, of which their financial results have been included in the Consolidated Financial Statements, and in which the Company holds a majority of the voting rights or shares joint control as of June 30, 2024 are as follows:

 

Name   Principal activities   Country of
incorporation and
principal place of
business
  % Equity
interest as of
March 31,
2024
 
Moolec Science Limited (i)   Investment in subsidiaries   United Kingdom     100 %

ValoraSoy S.A.   Investment in subsidiaries   Argentina     100 %
AG Biomolecules LLC (DE)   Investment in subsidiaries   USA     100 %
Microo Foods Ingredients S.L.   Investment in joint arrangements   Spain     50 %

 

(i) Moolec Science Limited has a branch office in Argentina, Moolec Science Limited S.E.

 

Note 4.16. Financial instruments

 

Financial assets and liabilities are recognized when an entity of the Group becomes party to the contractual provisions of an instrument.

 

Financial assets and liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and liabilities (other than those designated at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or liabilities, when appropriate, at initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss are recognized immediately through profit or loss.

 

The Company applies a hierarchy to classify valuation methods used to measure financial instruments carried at fair value. Levels 1 to 3 are defined based on the degree to which fair value inputs are observable and have a significant effect on the recorded fair value, as follows:

 

  - Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

 

  - Level 2: Valuation techniques use significant observable inputs, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices), or valuations are based on quoted prices for similar instruments; and

 

  - Level 3: Valuation techniques use significant inputs that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

 

F-20


 

Note 4.17.1. Financial assets

 

Classification of financial assets

 

If and when applicable the Company follows the framework and requirements outlined in IFRS 9 to classify financial assets based on whether:

 

  The financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to collect contractual cash flows or whose objective is achieved through the collection of contractual cash flows and the sale of financial assets; and

 

  The contractual terms give rise to cash flows that are only payments of principal and interest.

 

By default, all other financial assets are subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss.

 

Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for goods sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business. They are generally due for settlement within 30 days and are therefore all classified as current. Trade receivables are recognized initially at the amount of consideration that is unconditional, unless they contain significant financing components, when they are recognized at fair value. The Group holds the trade receivables with the objective of collecting the contractual cash flows and therefore measures them subsequently at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

 

Gains and losses in foreign currency

 

Trade receivables denominated in a currency other than the subsidiaries’ functional currency is determined in that foreign currency and converted to the subsidiaries’ functional currency at the end of each reporting period using the then prevailing spot rate. Exchange differences are recognized through profit or loss and are classified within financial income / expenses.

 

Derecognition of financial assets

 

The Group derecognizes a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the asset’s cash flows expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another party. If the Group does not transfer or retain substantially all risks and rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred asset, the Group recognizes its interest retained in the asset and an associated liability for the amounts to be paid. If the Group retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a transferred financial asset, the Group continues to recognize the financial asset and also recognizes a loan secured by the consideration received.

 

Upon derecognition of a financial asset measured at amortized cost, the difference between the carrying amount of the asset and the sum of the consideration received and receivable is recognized through profit or loss.

 

The Group also derecognizes a financial asset when there is information which indicates that the counterparty is in serious financial difficulty and there is no realistic prospect of recovery. The derecognized financial assets may still be subject to compliance activities in accordance with the Group’s recovery procedures, taking into account legal advice when appropriate. Any recovery is recognized through profit or loss.

 

Note 4.17.2. Financial liabilities and equity instruments

 

Classification as debt or equity

 

Debt and equity instruments are classified as financial liabilities or equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual agreement and definitions of financial liability and equity instrument.

 

F-21


 

Equity instruments

 

An equity instrument consists of any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity, after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by a Group entity are recognized for income received, net of direct issue costs.

 

Financial liabilities

 

Financial liabilities are classified at their inception at fair value through profit or loss or at amortized cost, using the effective interest amortization method.

 

Warrant liabilities

 

As part of the reorganization, the Group acquired public warrants (“Public warrants”). The warrants are initially recognized at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into, and they are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses will be recorded in profit or loss.

 

These instruments are measured at Level 1 fair value based on its quoted price.

 

Note 4.18. Loss per share

 

The Group presents basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) data for its ordinary shares. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit and loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Group by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributed to ordinary shareholders and the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.

 

For the year ended on June 30, 2024, 2023 and 2022, Basic EPS and Diluted EPS are the same. Employee share-based payments are considered dilutive instruments properly included in the profit and loss account, however they do not impact in EPS diluted calculation because the Group has generated net loss to ordinary shareholders (See Note 27).

 

Note 4.19. Revenue

 

The group identifies contracts with customers and evaluates the goods and services committed therein to determine performance obligations and their classification between performance obligations that are satisfied at a given time or over time.

 

Revenue from satisfaction of performance obligations at a given time is recognized when the client obtains control of the committed asset or service considering whether there is a right to collection, if the client has the physical possession, if the client has the legal right and if they have transferred the risks and benefits.

 

Revenue from sales is recognized when performance obligations are satisfied, usually when the products are delivered to the purchaser at the determined location, according to the agreed sales terms.

 

Typically, our average payment terms range from 15 to 40 days at a consolidated level. Longer terms may be granted in limited circumstances; however, the effects of such sales are not material to our consolidated financial statements. Those payment terms do not contain a significant financing component.

 

Note 4.20. Other income

 

Other income corresponds to the results from the settlement in foreign currency of exports of our Argentinean subsidiary through purchase and sale operations with marketable securities acquired with settlement in foreign currency and sold with settlement in local currency. This mechanism is used up to the threshold specified by the rules for exports of specific grains and grain-derived-products.

 

F-22


 

Note 4.21. Expenses

 

Research and development costs

 

Research costs are expensed in the period in which these costs are incurred. Development costs are expensed in the period in which these costs are incurred if they do not meet the criteria for capitalization.

 

Sales and marketing, administrative and other operating expenses

 

The Group recognizes expenses in the period in which these costs are incurred and are presented by function on the consolidated statements of operations. Sales and marketing expenses primarily relate to marketing materials and research of the Group to increase brand awareness in the marketplace. Administrative expenses primarily comprise professional fees (mainly related to consultancy, accountancy and legal expenses), payroll and share based compensation to certain executives. Other operating expenses relate to those that do not depend on general business operations or relate to the other expense categories.

Note 4.23. Segment reporting

 

The Group operates in a single operating segment, which is “science-based food ingredients”. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is regularly evaluated by the chief operating decision maker, who in the Group’s case is the Executive Team, in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Executive Team is composed of the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), the Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), the Chief Product Officer (“CPO”), the Chief Technology Officer (“CTO”) and the Chief Science Officer (“CSO”).

 

The Executive Team evaluates the Group’s financial information and resources and assess the financial performance of these resources on a consolidated basis on the basis of Net revenue/loss for the period.

 

The Group’s revenue, results and assets for this one reportable segment can be determined by reference to the consolidated statement of comprehensive income and consolidated statement of financial position.

Note 4.24. Business combinations

 

The Group applies the acquisition method to account for business combinations. The acquisition cost is measured as the aggregate of the consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary, which is measured at fair value at the acquisition date, and the amount of any non-controlling interest in such subsidiary. The Group recognizes any non-controlling interest in a subsidiary at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the recognized amounts of subsidiary’s identifiable net assets. The acquisition related costs are expensed as incurred.

 

Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the Group is recognized at fair value at the acquisition date. The contingent consideration is classified as an asset or liability that is a financial instrument under IFRS 9 is measured at fair value through profit or loss.

 

Goodwill is initially measured at cost, which is the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred and the amount of the non-controlling interest and any previous interest carried over the net identifiable assets acquired, and liabilities assumed.

 

After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. For impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, as of the acquisition date, allocated to each of the cash-generating units of the Group that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, without considering whether other assets or liabilities of the subsidiary are allocated to those units.

 

Any impairment in the carrying value is recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. In the case of acquisitions in stages, prior to the write-off of the previously held equity interest in the subsidiary, said interest is re-measured at fair value as of the date of acquisition of control over the subsidiary. The result of the re-measurement at fair value is recognized in profit or loss.

 

Note 4.25. Critical accounting judgements and estimates

 

The Group makes certain estimates and assumptions regarding the future. Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. In the future, actual experience may differ from these estimates and assumptions. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are listed below.

 

Critical estimates

 

  - Identification and fair value of identifiable intangible assets arising in acquisitions (Note 3.3).

 

  - Impairment of intangible assets not yet available for use (Note 3.3).

 

Note 5. Comparative Information

 

The information disclosed for comparative purposes arises from the consolidated financial statements of Moolec Science SA as of June 30, 2023 and 2022.

Share Purchase Agreement

 

In April 2023, the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement with Nomura Securities International, Inc (“Nomura”). The Agreement provides for a committed equity financing facility under which the Company has the option, but not the obligation, to sell up to the equivalent of $50 million in aggregate gross purchase price of its ordinary shares to Nomura over a 36-month period, subject to the terms of the Agreement. The Company intends to use the proceeds from any future sales of securities under the financing facility, if it is utilized, for general corporate purposes.

 

Sales of ordinary shares to Nomura, and the timing of any such sales, will be determined by the Company from time to time in its sole discretion and will depend on a variety of factors, including, among other things, market conditions, the trading price of the ordinary shares and determinations by the Company regarding the use of proceeds from any sale.

 

On June 2023, 3,600 shares (equivalent to $10,647) were issued under the Share Purchase Agreement. As of June 30, 2023 only those shares were issued under such Share Purchase Agreement.

 

On April 23, 2024 the Company issued 1,000,000 shares (equivalent to $ 2,162,400) under the Share Purchase Agreement with Nomura.

 

Settlement with shareholders (addition of treasury shares)

 

On December 30, 2022 (the Date of Closing of the Business Combination Agreement or “BCA”)  it was signed the “Agreement on Funds Flow”, by which the Sponsor agreed to place 255,000 of its shares in an “Escrow Account” for 12 months after the closing of the BCA, in order to fulfill potential claims that could arise during the 12-month period following the BCA. The 12-month period was then extended for an extra 3-month period.

 

F-31


 

On December 27, 2023 it was signed an Agreement by which it was agreed that only 143,319 shares will remain to be held in escrow and, once the customary and mandatory steps that Continental Stock Transfer & Trust (or the “Transfer Agent”) need to perform are completed, 103,166 shares should be transferred from the escrow account to Moolec Science’s (transferred that occurred and shares were recognized as Treasury shares). The Transfer Agent was also instructed to release 20,153 shares that were returned to the Sponsor. Such movements took place on February 26, 2024.

 

Lastly, on April 10, 2024 the Transfer Agent was instructed to transfer from the escrow account to Moolec Science the 20,000 remaining shares (recognized as Treasury shares)

 

Note 16. Share based payment

 

Under the share-based compensation plan, some directors, employees and members of the executive management team as defined by the Board of Directors, were granted share options or restricted stock units (“RSU”) in return for their services to the Group.

 

As of June 30, 2024, Moolec Science SA had the following shared-based payment arrangements for executives and senior management:

 

  Group 1 granted up to 579,078 underlying ordinary shares. The options have an exercise price of $1.52 and expire in December 2030 (except one case in June 2031).

 

  Group 2 granted up to 344,555 underlying ordinary shares. The options have an exercise price of $8.00 and expire in December 2030.

 

  Group 3 granted up to 833,333 underlying ordinary shares. The options have an exercise price of $4.25 and expire between January 2033 and March 2034.

 

The fair value of the options granted is measured at grant date and recognized in accordance with the requirements of IFRS 2, as an employee benefit expense, with a corresponding increase in equity. 

 

Factor   Group 1     Group 2     Group 3  
Fair value of shares (range)   $ 1.00     $ 1.00     $ 1.63-3.21  
Exercise price   $ 1.52     $ 8.00     $ 4.25  
Expected volatility     70 %     70 %     70 %
Dividend rate     -       -       -  
Reference risk-free interest rate     3.00 %     3.00 %     4.25 %
Plan duration     10 years       10 years       10 years  
Fair value of stock options at measurement date (range)   $ 9.11     $ 7.25     $ 1.02-2.65  

 

There are no market-related performance conditions or non-vesting conditions that should be considered for determining the fair value of options.

 

Moolec Science estimates an expected rotation of 2.00% annually at constant value, taking into account historical patterns of executives maintaining their jobs and the probability of exercising the options. This estimate is reviewed at the end of each annual or interim period.

(i) On October 15, 2023, Moolec Science has entered into an agreement to issue a convertible note due 2026 to Invim Corporativo S.L. As of June 30, 2024, the Company has received USD 10,000,000 related to such convertible note. (see note 28) Additionally, the Company signed additional convertible notes for USD 940,000 between October 2023 and June 30, 2024 with local farmers and jointly with the convertible note with Invim Corporativo S.L., are referred to as “the Notes”.

 

The Notes have a term of three years with an early conversion option with a strike price of US $6.00 per share. If the early conversion option is exercised, Moolec Science will have the option to pay the outstanding amount at that date using shares, cash or a combination of both. Initial interest rate on the notes is of 5% per annum payable annually in cash in arrears on anniversary of the date of the notes and on the maturity date, however Moolec Science will have the option at each payment date to capitalize the interest accrued. After the remaining cash payment made during 2024 the interest rate was increased to 10% per annum. Lastly, as per the convertible note with Invim Corporativo S.L., after the in-kind contribution, when received, the interest rate will be calculated in accordance with a formula included in the agreement.

 

At maturity, Moolec Science will hold the option to deliver ordinary shares, cash, or a combination of cash and ordinary shares.

Note 30. Financial instruments

 

30.1 Financial risk management

 

The Group’s activities are subject to several financial risks: market risk (including the exchange rate risk, the interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.

 

The following matters have been considered by Management in determining the appropriateness of the going concern basis of preparation of the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

  a) Credit risk

 

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if the counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. Financial instruments held by the Group that are potentially subject to concentration of credit risk are primarily cash and receivables. Management believes that the credit risk concentrating with respect to cash and amounts receivable is remote.

 

F-42


 

The following table sets forth details of the age of trade receivables and other receivables:

 

As at   June 30,
2024
    June 30,
2023
 
To due become            
Up to 3 months   $ 471,500     $ 450,728  

 

The Group sells its products to a diverse base of customers. Customers include multi-national and local agricultural companies, distributors, and farmers.

 

The Group’s management determines concentrations of credit risk by periodically monitoring the credit worthiness rating of existing customers and through a monthly review of the trade receivables’ aging analysis. In monitoring the customers’ credit risk, customers are grouped according to their credit characteristics.

 

The Group’s policy is to manage credit exposure to counterparties through a process of credit rating. The Group performs credit evaluations of existing and new customers, and every new customer is examined thoroughly regarding the quality of its credit before offering the customer transaction terms. The examination made by the Group includes outside credit rating information, if available. Additionally, and even if there is no independent outside rating, the Group assesses the credit quality of the customer taking into account its financial position, past experience, bank references and other factors. A credit limit is prescribed for each customer. These limits are examined periodically. Customers that do not meet the Group’s criteria for credit quality may do business with the Group on a prepayment basis.

 

  b) Liquidity risk

 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations affiliated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Group’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group’ s reputation. Given the Group’s financial position as of June 30, 2024, total current financial assets $ 6,871,967 as compared to total financial liabilities of $ 26,921,679 management expects that the Group will be able to provide the capital needed to keep the Group liquid and able to fulfill its short-term obligations. Group’s financial position as of June 30, 2023, total current financial assets $4,524,981 as compared to total financial liabilities of $11,985,860.

 

The Company continuously monitors and reviews its actual and forecasted cash flows and manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash and cash equivalents, by utilizing term loans and by monitoring developments in the capital markets.

 

The table below analyzes the Company’s financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the balance sheet to the contractual maturity date.

  c) Market risk

 

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices -e.g. foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices -will affect the Group’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments including commodity prices and foreign currency exchange rates. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimizing the return.

 

Commodity risk

 

In the normal course of its business, the Company is exposed to risk resulting from fluctuations in the market prices of commodities. The Company does not engage in transactional hedging of its commodity price risk.

 

Foreign currency exchange risk

 

The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk as a result of transactions being conducted in currencies other than the functional currency of each of the Company and its subsidiaries.

 

The Company has not entered into transactions that seek to hedge or mitigate its exposure to exchange rate fluctuations.

 

The carrying amounts of the Group’s foreign currency denominated monetary assets and monetary liabilities at the reporting date are as follows:

 

    Assets     Liabilities  
Currency   2024     2023     2024     2023  
Argentine pesos     156,291       765,690       292,203       50,073  
U.S. Dollar     695,307       368,186       1,491,998       2,227,751  
Pound sterling     24       22,062       12,647       -  
Euro     -       -       167,072       -  

 

The following table details sensitivity to a 10% increase and decrease in the functional currency of each of the companies against the relevant foreign currencies. The sensitivity analysis includes only the outstanding monetary items denominated in foreign currency and adjusts its conversion at the end of the period for a 10% change in exchange rates.

Euro     -       -       (16,707 )     -  

 

F-44


 

  d) Fair value risk

 

Financial assets and liabilities are recognized when an entity of the Group becomes party to the contractual provisions of an instrument. The Company applies a hierarchy to classify valuation methods used to measure financial instruments carried at fair value. Levels 1 to 3 are defined based on the degree to which fair value inputs are observable and have a significant effect on the recorded fair value, as follows:

 

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

 

Level 2: Valuation techniques use significant observable inputs, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices), or valuations are based on quoted prices for similar instruments; and

 

Level 3: Valuation techniques use significant inputs that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

 

The following represents the carrying value and fair value of the Company’s financial instruments and non-financial derivatives:

Net financial (liability) / asset       $ (10,878,022 )   $ 414,459  

 

(i) Cash, short-term investments, trade and other receivables, prepayments, trade and other payables, financial debts and lease liabilities are recorded at carrying value, which approximates fair value due to their short-term nature and generally negligible credit losses.

 

(ii) Fair value of cash equivalent, short-term investment and warrants has been determined using the quoted market price at the year end (level 1).

 

  e) Interest rate risk

 

The Group’s financing costs may be affected by interest rate volatility. Borrowings under the Group’s interest rate management policy may be fixed or floating rate. The Group maintains adequate committed borrowing facilities and holds most of its financial assets primarily in cash or short-term investments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash.

 

The Group’s interest rate risk arises from long-term borrowings. Borrowings issued at floating rates expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. Borrowings issued at fixed rates expose the Group to fair value interest rate risk. The Group has not entered into derivative contracts to hedge this exposure.

Non-current financial liabilities     (11,703,708 )     (99,046 )

 

Holding all other variables constant, including levels of our external indebtedness, as of June 30, 2024 a 10% increase/(decrease) in interest rates would increase/(decrease) interest payable by 360,457/ (360,457).

 

  f) Capital risk management

 

The Company includes as its capital its share capital and accumulated deficit and has no externally imposed capital requirements. The Company’s objectives in managing capital are to safeguard cash as well as maintain financial liquidity and flexibility in order to preserve its ability to meet financial obligations, deploy capital to develop its mining properties and to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence to sustain the future development of the business. The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments as needed, in order to have funds available to support its activities. Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis.

 

The Company’s financial strategy is designed to maintain a capital structure consistent with the objective stated above and to respond to business growth opportunities and changes in economic conditions, In order to maintain or adjust its capital structure, the Company may, from time to time, issue new shares, acquire or dispose of assets or adjust its capital spending to manage its ability to continue as a going concern. (Note 2.5).

 

Note 31. Events after the reporting period

 

Management has considered subsequent events through the date these consolidated financial statements were issued.

 

On July 15, 2024, Moolec Science entered into an offtake agreement (the “Offtake Agreement”) with a leading global consumer packaged goods and pet food company for the use of our GLA Safflower Oil product, GLASO™. The Offtake Agreement has a term of three years and outlines commercial conditions for the delivery of 50 tons of GLASO™ to the US market in 2025. In connection to the Offtake Agreement, Moolec Science have entered into partnerships with farmers for safflower cultivation and an industrial partner for downstream processing, ensuring a controlled and traceable supply chain for GLASO™.

 

On August 6, 2024, Moolec Science Limited SE, our Argentine branch, entered into a collaboration agreement (the “Bunge Collaboration Agreement”) with Bunge Argentina SA (“Bunge”), a subsidiary of Bunge Global SA. The Bungee Collaboration Agreement aims to develop new safflower varieties designed to improve productivity for specific applications, such as biofuels

 

On September 17, 2024, Moolec Science issued convertible notes to BIOX in exchange for the non-current accounts payable related to the purchase of HB4 soybean equivalent to $6.6 million. The convertible note has a term of three years with an early conversion option. If the early conversion option is exercised, Moolec Science will have the option to pay the outstanding amount at that date using shares, cash or a combination of both. The interest rate of the note will be calculated on a quarterly basis, and will be the 10% of the actual delivery value divided the total amount of the note. The interest will be payable annually in cash in arrears on anniversary of the date of the notes and on the maturity date, however the Company will have the option at each payment date to capitalize the interest accrued.

 

Starting in April 2025, the Company will have a quarterly option to request additional deliveries of HB4 ® soy in an amount equivalent to $1 million, and therefore, will have to issue additional notes in connection with this option if the option is exercised.

 

On September 20, 2024, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the 2024 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”), to attract and retain the best available personnel, provide additional incentives to employees, directors and consultants and to promote the success of our business. Under the Incentive Plan, the maximum aggregate number of ordinary shares that may be issued pursuant to all awards is a number of Ordinary Shares equal to up to 13% of our issued and outstanding capital stock on a fully diluted basis. The Incentive Plan allows the Company to establish the terms and conditions of the equity awards granted thereunder. Previously, the Company had adopted the Moolec Limited Employee Share Plan as our share option plan, approved by the Board of Directors of the Company on December 20, 2023.

Note 31.1. Going concern

 

On April 17, 2025, the Company, Bioceres Group Limited (formerly, Bioceres Group PLC, one of the main shareholders of the Company) (“Bioceres Group”), Gentle Technologies Corp (“Gentle Tech”), and Nutrecon LLC (“Nutrecon”) entered into a business combination agreement (the “Bioceres Group Business Combination Agreement”), pursuant to which several parties transferred their respective holdings in Bioceres Group, Nutrecon and Gentle Tech (together, the “Contributed Entities”) to the Company, in exchange of a combination of newly issued Company’s shares, and warrants, to the shareholders of the Contributed Entities. Following the closing, Moolec became the legal parent company of the combined group comprising Bioceres Group, Gentle Tech, and Nutrecon.

 

On June 18, 2025, Bioceres Crop Solutions Corp. (“BIOX”), a public company controlled until that date by Bioceres Group Limited, entered into an amendment with the Secured Notes’ holders by which the holders of the Secured Notes waived the breach of covenants that lead to the default of the debt (specifically, the breach of covenants related to the Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio (determined as the ratio of (a) Consolidated Total Net Debt as of the last day of such Test Period to (b) Consolidated EBITDA of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries for such Test Period) of 3.75x as of March 31, 2025). retrospectively modifying the required Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio to 5x Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio, and extended the maturity of the Secured Notes to August 31, 2027. In accordance with the terms of the amendment, effective June 24, 2025, Gloria Montaron Estrada, Enrique Lopez Lecube and Keith McGovern were replaced in BIOX’s Board of Directors by Milen Marinov, Noah Kolatch and Scott Crocco, who were nominated by certain holders of the Secured Notes. BIOX agreed, for so long as the Secured Notes remain outstanding, to continue to nominate Messrs Marinov, Kolatch and Crocco (or such other persons as may nominated as their replacements) for additional terms as directors.

 

The effect of the changes in the terms of the Secured Notes of BIOX, one of the former subsidiaries of Bioceres Group Limited, resulted in the loss of de facto control of that subsidiary and consequently, its deconsolidation from Bioceres Group Limited.

 

While BIOX was able to resolve the uncertainties regarding its financial plan through this agreement, as a result of the loss of control over BIOX, access to financing that Bioceres S.A., its wholly owned subsidiary Bioceres LLC, Bioceres Group Limited and Moolec Science SA had until then was restricted or limited.

 

In June 2025, Bioceres S.A., one of the Argentine subsidiaries of Bioceres Group Limited, defaulted a portion of its financial debt that was due that month. As a result, Bioceres S.A. has initiated a debt restructuring process for its financial debt for an aggregate amount of $36.4 million. This process seeks to improve the debt profile of Bioceres S.A.

 

In July 2025, Bioceres LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Bioceres S.A., received a notice of default on its financial debt in the amount of $69.5 million. The creditor conducted a public auction to wit 3,062,500 pledged BIOX shares, pursuant to the New York Uniform Commercial Code. Management has responded to said creditor, reserving all rights, remedies, and defenses.

 

The defaults by Bioceres S.A. and Bioceres LLC do not have implications in other debts as there are no cross-default clauses on the remaining financial debt of the Group.

 

The Company had the financial support of its main shareholders and considering the aforementioned events that derived in the loss of the financial support that was previously provided by Bioceres Group (and who is also no longer a shareholder of the Company), and, consequently, raise a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt (or raise substantial doubt as contemplated by PCAOB standards) about the ability of Moolec Science SA to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Currently, the Group lacks sufficient financial resources to meet its obligations or fully implement its business plan. Without securing additional capital, or achieving a successful financial restructuring process, the Group will not be able to sustain its operations.

 

Management has plans to address the Group’s financial situation as follows:

 

· Currently management is working on the financial restructuring process of Bioceres S.A.’s outstanding debt, proposing among other alternatives the extension of the maturity of current debt and the use of the Group’s cash inflows from operating activities, as well as obtaining the necessary capital to fully execute the Group’s business plan.

 

· Management expects that certain shareholders and/or investors will continue or commence to provide new financing lines.

 

· A dedicated Restructuring Committee has been established to address and implement the aforementioned financial restructuring process.

 

However, there is no assurance that the restructuring process will be successful, that investors and shareholders will continue to provide financing, or that the Group’s future operations will generate profitability. The uncertainty surrounding the ability to secure additional funding and the potential for continued operational losses contribute to raise a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt (or raise substantial doubt as contemplated by PCAOB standards) about the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that may be required to address the potential impacts on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications liabilities, should the Group be unable to continue as a going concern.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

To the Board of directors and shareholders of Bioceres Group Limited

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of Bioceres Group PLC and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2024 and 2023, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2024, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2024 in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

 

Substantial Doubt about the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 21.1 to the consolidated financial statements, as a result of the default situations described, the Company has lost control over Bioceres Crop Solutions Corp., which had an impact on the Company’s access to financing. These events or conditions raise substantial doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 21.1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

Critical Audit Matters

 

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments.

Impairment Tests on Goodwill (Pro Farm Group, Inc., Rizobacter S.A. and Bioceres Crops S.A. Cash Generating Units) and Intangible Assets Not yet available for use or with indefinite useful lives.

 

As described in Notes 4.7, 7.8 and 7.9 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s goodwill associated with the Pro Farm Group, Inc. Rizobacter S.A. and Bioceres Crop S.A. cash generating units (“CGU”) and intangible assets not yet available for use or with indefinite useful lives amounted to $76.1 million, $28.1 million, $7,5 million and $25.5 million, respectively, as of June 30, 2024. Impairment tests on goodwill and intangible assets not yet available for use or with indefinite useful lives are undertaken annually at the end of the reporting period. Where the carrying value of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of value in use and fair value less costs to sell), the asset is written down to its recoverable amount. In each case, management determined the recoverable amount based on value in use calculations prepared by management. The determination of the recoverable amount of the CGU’s and intangible assets not yet available for use or with indefinite useful lives includes significant and numerous judgments and assumptions that are subject to various risks and uncertainties. The principal assumptions used in management’s models consisted of (i) budgeted market shares of joint ventures and other customers, (ii) budgeted product prices, (iii) growth rates used to extrapolate future cash flow projections to the terminal period and (iv) discount rates.

 

The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to impairment tests on goodwill (Pro Farm Group, Inc., Rizobacter S.A. and Bioceres Crops S.A. cash generating units) and intangible assets not yet available for use or with indefinite useful lives is a critical audit matter are (i) the significant judgment by management when developing the recoverable amount of the CGUs and intangible assets not yet available for use or with indefinite useful lives; (ii) a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity and effort in performing procedures and evaluating management’s significant assumptions used in the models related to the (i) budgeted market shares of joint ventures and other customers, (ii) budgeted product prices, (iii) growth rates used to extrapolate future cash flow projections to the terminal period, (iv) discount rates; and (v) the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge.

 

Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to management’s impairment tests on goodwill and intangible assets not yet available for use or with indefinite useful lives, including controls over the determination of the recoverable amounts for the CGUs and intangible assets not yet available for use or with indefinite useful lives. These procedures also included, among others (i) testing management’s process for developing the recoverable amounts of CGUs and intangible assets not yet available for use or with indefinite useful lives; (ii) evaluating the appropriateness of the models used; (iii) testing the completeness and accuracy of underlying data used in the models; (iv) evaluating the reasonableness of the significant assumptions used by management in the models related to budgeted market shares of joint ventures and other customers, budgeted product prices, growth rates used to extrapolate future cash flow projections to the terminal period and discount rates. Evaluating management’s assumptions used in the models related to budgeted market shares of joint ventures and other customers, budgeted product prices, growth rates used to extrapolate future cash flow projections to the terminal period and discount rates involved evaluating whether the assumptions used by management were reasonable considering (i) the current and past performance of the CGUs and the Company’s business; (ii) the consistency with external market and industry data; and (iii) whether these assumptions were consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit. Professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were used to assist in the evaluation of the Company’s discounted cash flow model and the discount rate assumptions.

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

 

Bioceres Group PLC is a fully integrated company incorporated on April 3, 2021, in England and Wales, whose registered office is at Highdown House, Yeoman Way, Worthing, West Sussex, United Kingdom.

 

On April 1, 2025, the Company changed its legal name from Bioceres Group PLC to Bioceres Group Limited. (Note 21).

 

Unless the context otherwise requires, “we,” “us,” “our,” and “Bioceres Group” will refer to Bioceres Group PLC and its subsidiaries.

 

2.  ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND BASIS OF PREPARATION

 

Statement of compliance with IFRS as issued by IASB

 

These consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by International Accounting Standard Board (“IASB”) following the accounting policies as set forth and summarized in Note 4. All IFRS issued by the IASB, effective at the time of preparing these consolidated financial statements have been applied.

 

Authorization for the issue of the Consolidated financial statements

 

These consolidated financial statements of the Group as of June 30, 2024 and 2023 and for the years ended June 30, 2024, 2023 and 2022 have been approved and authorized by the Board of Directors of Bioceres Group on April 15, 2025, except with respect to the matters that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern discussed in Note 21.1. going concern, which was approved by the Board of Directors on August 11, 2025.

 

Basis of measurement

 

The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared using:

 

Going concern basis of accounting, considering the conclusion of the assessment made by the Group’s Management about the ability of the Group and its subsidiaries to continue as a going concern, in accordance with the requirements of paragraph 25 of IAS 1, “Presentation of Financial Statements”. (See Note 21.1.)

 

Accrual basis of accounting (except for cash flows information). Under this basis of accounting, the effects of transactions and other events are recognized as they occur, even when there are no cash flows.

 

Functional currency and presentation currency

 

a) Functional currency

 

Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic market in which the entity operates (i.e., “the functional currency”).

 

The Company and the Main Argentinian subsidiaries of the Group have United States Dollars as functional currency

 

From July 1, 2022, the main Argentinian subsidiaries of the Group have changed their functional currency from Argentine Pesos to United States Dollars as a result of changes in events and conditions relevant to their business operations, which include a hyper inflationary macroeconomic context and the depreciation of the Argentine Peso, in addition to the effects on our business of certain business combination transactions, as discussed below.

 

Macroeconomic context – in recent years Argentina’s macroeconomic scenario has featured a misalignment between inflation rates and the devaluation of the Argentine peso, which became more pronounced during the first half of the year ended June 30, 2022. Notwithstanding such misalignment, our Argentine subsidiaries have been able to continue pricing their products in U.S. dollars as the costs of products and services are set in U.S. dollars. This has also been achievable as the demand for the type of products we commercialize is relatively inelastic when compared to non-essential goods and services. Further, Argentina’s significant economic volatility has caused materials, and other costs of providing goods that we acquire from the Argentine domestic market, to become increasingly indexed to the U.S. dollar (i.e., denominated in Argentine Pesos but indexed to the U.S. dollar exchange rate).

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

As of June 30, 2024 and 2023 and for the years ended June 30, 2024, 2023 and 2022

(Amounts in US$, except otherwise indicated)

 

Business effects – following the merger with Pro Farm (see Note 6), which closed at the beginning of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, in addition to other business combination transactions, we established a global commercial strategy with a view to unifying pricing policies for the commercialization of our products.

 

In accordance with IAS 21, we have considered the following primary factors to determine the functional currency of our main Argentine subsidiaries: (i) the sales prices for goods and services, which are mainly influenced and determined by the U.S. dollar; and (ii) the increasing influence of transactions indexed to the U.S. dollar related to labor, materials, and other costs of providing goods.

 

Taking into account the analysis of the primary factors provided by IAS 21 in determining the functional currency of our main Argentine subsidiaries (in particular the increased influence of exchange rates on their costs of operations, which are indexed to the U.S. dollar), we identified that there is strong evidence that their functional currency had changed to the U.S. dollar.

 

As discussed above, we assessed primary indicators and determined that they were conclusive for the analyzed period; however, consideration was also given to secondary indicators. The result of such analysis also leads to the conclusion that the U.S. dollar is the relevant currency for cash generation from operating and financing activities of our main Argentine subsidiaries.

 

For the years ended 30th June 2024, 2023 and 2022, others Argentinian subsidiaries, that have Argentine Pesos as functional currency, had applied IAS 29 “Financial reporting in hyperinflationary economies” requires that the financial statements of an entity whose functional currency is the currency of a hyperinflationary economy, whether these are based on the historical cost method or the current cost method, be stated in terms of the measuring unit current at the closing date of the reporting period. For such purpose, the inflation produced since the acquisition date or the revaluation date, as applicable, must be computed in non-monetary items. The standard details a series of factors to be considered for concluding whether an economy is hyperinflationary, including, but not limited to, a cumulative inflation rate over a three-year period that approaches or exceeds 100%. Inflation accumulated in three years, as of 30th June 2018, was over 100%. It was for this reason that, in accordance with IAS 29, the Argentine economy had to be considered as hyperinflationary since 1st July 2018. Consequently, the Group has applied IAS 29 to these financial statements.

 

During an inflationary period, any entity that maintains an excess of monetary assets over monetary liabilities will lose purchasing power, and any entity that maintains an excess of monetary liabilities over monetary assets will gain purchasing power, provided that such items are not subject to an adjustment mechanism.

 

Briefly, the restatement mechanism of IAS 29 establishes that monetary assets and liabilities will not be restated because they are already expressed in a current unit of measurement at the end of the reporting period. Assets and liabilities subject to adjustments based on specific agreements, will be adjusted according to those agreements. Non-monetary items measured at their current values at the end of the reporting period, such as the net realizable value or others, do not need to be restated. The remaining non-monetary assets and liabilities will be restated according to a general price index. The loss or gain for the net monetary position will be included in the net result of the reporting period, revealing this information in a separate line item.

 

Presentation currency

 

The consolidated financial statements of the Group are presented in US dollars.

(Amounts in US$, except otherwise indicated)

 

Foreign currency

 

Transactions entered into by Group entities in a currency other than their functional currency are recorded at the relevant exchange rates as of the date upon which such transactions occur. Foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the prevailing exchanges rates as of the final day of each reporting period. Exchange differences arising on the retranslation of unsettled monetary assets and liabilities are recognized immediately in profit or loss, except for foreign currency borrowings qualifying as a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation for which exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the foreign exchange reserve along with the exchange differences arising on the retranslation of the foreign operation. Upon the disposal of a foreign operation, the cumulative exchange differences recognized in the foreign exchange reserve relating to such operation up to the date of disposal are transferred to the Consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income as part of the profit or loss reorganized upon such disposal.

 

Subsidiaries

 

Where the Group holds a controlling interest in an entity, such entity is classified as a subsidiary. The Group exercises control over such an entity if all three of the following elements are present: (i) the Group has the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of the entity; (ii) the Group is exposed to the variable returns of such entity; and (iii) the Group has power to affect the variability of such returns. Control is reassessed whenever facts and circumstances indicate that there may be a change in any of these elements of control.

 

De-facto control exists in situations where the Group has the practical ability to direct the relevant activities of an entity without holding the majority of the voting rights. In determining whether de facto control exists, the Group considers all relevant facts and circumstances, including:

 

- The relative share of the Group’s voting rights with respect both the size and dispersion of other parties who hold voting rights;

 

- Substantive potential voting rights held by the Group and by other parties;

 

- Other contractual arrangements; and

 

- Historic patterns in voting attendance.

a) Direct interests held by Bioceres Group Limited.

 

b) Since 2023, the Group exercises “de facto control” over Bioceres Crop Solutions Corp. as a result of (i) the percentage and concentration of voting rights of the Group, the voting agreement and the absence of other shareholders with significant voting rights, (ii) the absence of a voting agreement among the other shareholders to vote together as a group, (iii) the record of attendance to Shareholders’ Meetings and the record of votes casted by the other shareholders; and (iv) the effective control exercised by the Group to direct BIOX’s relevant activities through its seat in the Board of Directors. (Note 5).

 

c) During the current fiscal year, the Group lost control over INMET as a result of a capital increase in which the Group waived its preemptive and subscription rights. Consequently, the Group’s ownership interest in Inmet decreased, leading to a loss of control.

 

d) On June 1, 2024 we acquired a controlling interest in Natal Agro S.R.L (“Natal”). See Note 6.

 

Special purpose and structured entities (“SPE”)

 

A structured entity is an entity that has been designed so that voting or similar rights are not the dominant factor in deciding who controls the entity and the relevant activities are directed by means of contractual arrangements. In these cases, we consider the purpose and design of the SPE, including a consideration of the risks the SPE was expected to be exposed to, the risks it was designed to pass on to the parties involved with the SPE and whether we are exposed to some or all of those risks or potential returns. One then considers which activities have a significant impact on the SPE’s returns and determines which parties have an ability to direct each of those activities.

3.  NEW STANDARDS, AMENDMENTS AND INTERPRETATIONS ISSUED BY THE IASB

 

New standards and interpretations adopted by the Group

 

The following new standards became applicable for the current reporting period and adopted by the Group.

 

Amendments to IAS 12- Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction

 

The IASB has amended IAS 12, ‘Income taxes’, to require companies to recognize deferred tax on particular transactions that, on initial recognition, give rise to equal amounts of taxable and deductible temporary differences.

 

IAS 12 was amended to include an additional condition where the initial recognition exemption is not applied. According to the amended guidance, a temporary difference that arises on initial recognition of an asset or liability is not subject to the initial recognition exemption if that transaction gave rise to equal amounts of taxable and deductible temporary differences.

 

The amendments are effective for financial years beginning on or after January 1, 2023.

 

International Tax Reform—Pillar Two Model Rules (Amendments to IAS 12)

 

The amendments give companies temporary relief from accounting for deferred taxes arising from the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development’s (OECD) international tax reform.

 

The amendments will introduce (i) a temporary exception to the accounting for deferred taxes arising from jurisdictions implementing the global tax rules. This will help to ensure consistency in the financial statements while easing into the implementation of the rules; (ii) and targeted disclosure requirements to help investors better understand a company’s exposure to income taxes arising from the reform, particularly before legislation implementing the rules is in effect.

 

Companies can benefit from the temporary exception immediately but are required to provide the disclosures to investors for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023.

 

Amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2- Disclosure of Accounting Policies

 

An entity is now required to disclose its material accounting policy information instead of its significant accounting policies. The amendments clarify that accounting policy information may be material because of its nature, even if the related amounts are immaterial.

 

The amendments are applied prospectively and are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023. Earlier application is permitted.

 

Amendments to IAS 8-Definition of Accounting Estimates

 

These amendments help entities to distinguish between accounting policies and accounting estimates making a distinction between how an entity should present and disclose different types of accounting changes in its financial statements. Under the new definition, accounting estimates are “monetary amounts in financial statements that are subject to measurement uncertainty”

As of June 30, 2024 and 2023 and for the years ended June 30, 2024, 2023 and 2022

(Amounts in US$, except otherwise indicated)

 

The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023 and changes in accounting policies and changes in accounting estimates that occur on or after the start of that period. Earlier application is permitted.

 

These amendments did not have any material impact on the Group.

 

New standards and interpretations not yet adopted by the Group

 

Amendments to IFRS 16- Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback.

 

The amendment requires a seller-lessee to subsequently measure lease liabilities arising from a leaseback in a way that it does not recognize any amount of the gain or loss that relates to the right of use it retains. The new requirements do not prevent a seller-lessee from recognizing in profit or loss any gain or loss relating to the partial or full termination of lease.

 

The amendments are effective for financial years beginning on or after January 1, 2024. Earlier application is permitted.

 

Amendments to IAS1 – Non-current liabilities with covenants.

 

The amendments modify the requirements introduced by Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current on how an entity classifies debt and other financial liabilities as current or non-current in particular circumstances. Only covenants with which an entity is required to comply on or before the reporting date affect the classification of a liability as current or non-current. In addition, an entity must disclose information in the notes that enables users of financial statements to understand the risk that non-current liabilities with covenants could become repayable within twelve months.

 

The amendments apply retrospectively for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024, with early application permitted.

 

Amendment to IAS 7 and IFRS 7 - Supplier Financing.

 

The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024.

 

Amendments to IAS 7- Statement of Cash Flows& to IFRS 7- Financial Instruments: Disclosures.

 

The amendments introduce new disclosure requirements in IFRS Standards to enhance the transparency and, thus, the usefulness of the information provided by entities about supplier finance arrangements.

 

The disclosure requirements in the amendments enhance the current requirements and are intended to assist users of financial statements in understanding the effects of supplier finance arrangements on an entity’s liabilities, cash flows and exposure to liquidity risk.

 

The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024. Early application of the amendments is permitted

 

IFRS 19 – Subsidiaries without Public Accountability.

 

The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027.

 

Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 - Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments.

 

The amendments are effective for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026.

4.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

4.1.  Cash and cash equivalents

 

For the purposes of the statements of financial position and statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and in banks and short-term highly liquid investments. Investments can be readily convertible to known amounts of cash and they are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value. In the consolidated statements of financial position, bank overdrafts are included in borrowings within current liabilities.

 

  4.2. Financial assets and liabilities

 

The Group measures its financial assets at initial recognition at fair value and subsequently at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

 

The Group has not irrevocably designated a financial asset as measured at fair value through profit or loss to eliminate or significantly reduce a measurement or recognition inconsistency.

 

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value through profit and loss due to the business model used in their negotiation and/or the contractual characteristics of their cash flows.

 

Estimates

 

The Group makes estimates of uncollectability of its recorded receivables. Management analyzes trade account receivables in accordance with conventional criteria, adjusting the amount through a charge of an allowance for bad debts upon recognition of the inability of third parties to afford their financial obligations to the Group. Management specifically analyzes the accounts receivable, the historical bad debts, solvency of customers, current economic trends and the changes to the payment conditions of customers to assess the adequate allowance for bad debts.

(Amounts in US$, except otherwise indicated)

 

Offsetting of financial assets with financial liabilities

 

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and presented for their net amount in the statements of financial position only when the Group has the right, legally enforceable, to compensate the recognized amounts and has the intention to liquidate for the net amount or to settle the asset and cancel the liability simultaneously.

 

4.3. Inventories

 

Inventories are recognized at cost initially and subsequently at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost comprises all costs of purchase and conversion as well as other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.

 

Weighted average cost is used to determine the cost of ordinarily interchangeable items.

 

Estimates

 

The Group assesses the recoverability of inventories considering their sale price, whether the inventories are damaged and whether they have become obsolete in whole or in part.

 

Net realizable value is the sale price estimated to be attained in the ordinary course of business, less costs of completion and other selling expenses.

 

The Group sets up an allowance for obsolescence or slow-moving inventories in relation to finished and in-process products. The allowance for obsolescence or slow-moving inventories is recognized for finished products and in-process products based on an analysis by Management of the aging of inventory stocks.

 

4.4. Biological assets

 

Within current assets, growing crops are included as biological assets, from the moment of sowing until the moment of harvest (approximately 5 to 7 months depending on the crop). At harvest time the biological assets are transformed into agricultural products, including seed varieties for resale, and incorporated into the inventory.

 

Costs are capitalized as biological assets if, and only if, (a) it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity, and (b) the cost can be measured reliably. The Group capitalizes costs such as: planting, harvesting, weeding, seedlings, irrigation, agrochemicals, fertilizers and a systematic allocation of fixed and variable production overheads that are directly attributable to the management of biological assets, among others.

 

Biological assets, both at initial recognition and at each subsequent reporting date, are measured at fair value less costs to sell, except where fair value cannot be reliably measured. Cost approximates fair value when little biological transformation has taken place since the costs were originally incurred or the impact of biological transformation on price is not expected to be material.

 

Gains and losses that arise from measuring biological assets at fair value less costs to sell and measuring agricultural produce at the point of harvest at fair value less costs to sell are recognized in the statement of income in the period in which they arise in the line item “Initial recognition and changes in fair value of biological assets”.

 

From the harvest time, agricultural products are valued at net realizable value because there is a market asset, and the risk of non-sale is non-significant.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

As of June 30, 2024 and 2023 and for the years ended June 30, 2024, 2023 and 2022

(Amounts in US$, except otherwise indicated)

 

Generally, the estimation of the fair value of biological assets is based on models or inputs that are not observable in the market and the use of unobservable inputs is significant to the overall valuation of the assets. Unobservable inputs are determined based on the best information available. Key assumptions include future market prices, estimated yields at the point of harvest, estimated production cycle, future cash flows, future costs of harvesting and other costs, and estimated discount rate.

 

Market prices are generally determined by reference to observable data in the principal market for the agricultural produce. Harvesting costs and other costs are estimated based on historical and statistical data. Yields are estimated based on several factors, including the location of the farmland and soil type, environmental conditions, infrastructure and other restrictions and growth at the time of measurement. Yields are subject to a high degree of uncertainty and may be affected by several factors out of the Group’s control including but not limited to extreme or unusual weather conditions, plagues and other crop diseases, among other factors.

 

4.5. Business combinations

 

The Group applies the acquisition method to account for business combinations. The acquisition cost is measured as the aggregate of the consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary, which is measured at fair value at the acquisition date, and the amount of any non-controlling interest in such subsidiary. The Group recognizes any non-controlling interest in a subsidiary at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the recognized amounts of subsidiary’s identifiable net assets. The acquisition related costs are expensed as incurred.

 

Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the Group is recognized at fair value at the acquisition date. The contingent consideration is classified as an asset or liability that is a financial instrument under IFRS 9 is measured at fair value through profit or loss.

 

Goodwill is initially measured at cost, which is the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred and the amount of the non-controlling interest and any previous interest carried over the net identifiable assets acquired, and liabilities assumed.

 

After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. For impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, as of the acquisition date, allocated to each of the cash-generating units of the Group that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, without considering whether other assets or liabilities of the subsidiary are allocated to those units.

 

Any impairment in the carrying value is recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. In the case of acquisitions in stages, prior to the write-off of the previously held equity interest in the subsidiary, said interest is re-measured at fair value as of the date of acquisition of control over the subsidiary. The result of the re-measurement at fair value is recognized in profit or loss.

 

When a seller in a business combination has contractually agreed to indemnify the Group for the result of a contingency or uncertainty related to the entirety or a portion of an asset or liability, the Group recognizes an indemnification asset. The indemnification asset is measured on the same basis as the indemnification item. At the end of each period, the Group measures the indemnification assets recognized at the acquisition date on the same basis as the indemnified liability, subject to any contractual limitation on the amount and, for an indemnification asset that is not periodically measured at fair value, based on Management’s assessment of the recoverability of the indemnification asset. The Group derecognizes the indemnification asset when it collects or sells it, or when it loses the right over it.

 

4.6. Intragroup Reorganization

 

Intragroup reorganizations are excluded from the scope of IFRS 3 and are not specifically addressed in IFRS guidance. Therefore, judgement is required to develop an accounting policy that provides relevant and reliable information in accordance with IAS 8, and such accounting policy shall be applied consistently to all similar transactions. Management has elected to account for intragroup reorganizations using the “Predecessor accounting”. Predecessor accounting involves accounting for the assets and liabilities of the acquired business using the predecessor carrying values. Differences between the carrying value and the amount payable is accounted for in equity (as a contribution or distribution, as it may correspond).

 

The intragroup reorganization described in Note 6 was accounted for using predecessor accounting, as further explained in that note.

(Amounts in US$, except otherwise indicated)

 

4.7. Impairment assessment of Goodwill and Intangibles

 

Impairment tests on goodwill and intangible assets not yet available for use or with indefinite useful lives, are undertaken annually at the end of the reporting period. Other non-financial assets are subject to impairment tests whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. Where the carrying value of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of value in use and fair value less costs to sell), the asset is written down accordingly.

 

Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the impairment test is carried out on the smallest group of assets to which it belongs for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (its Cash Generating Unit or CGU). Goodwill is allocated on initial recognition to each of the Group’s CGUs that are expected to benefit from a business combination that gives rise to the goodwill.

 

Impairment charges are included in profit or loss, except to the extent they reverse gains previously recognized in other comprehensive income. An impairment loss recognized for goodwill is not reversed.

 

Estimates

 

Impairment testing of goodwill and intangible assets not yet available for use or with indefinite useful lives, requires the use of significant assumptions for the estimation of future cash flows and the determination of discount rates. The significant assumptions and the determination of discount rates for the impairment testing of goodwill are further explained in Note 7.9.

 

4.8. Associate and joint arrangements

 

An associate is an entity over which the Group exerts significant influence. Significant influence is the power to participate in financial and operating policy decision-making at such entity, but it does not involve control or joint control over those policies.

 

The Group is a party to a joint arrangement when there is a contractual arrangement that confers joint control over the relevant activities of the arrangement to the Group and at least one other party. Joint control is assessed under the same principles as control over subsidiaries.

 

The Group classifies its interests in joint arrangements as either:

 

- Joint ventures: where the group has rights to only the net assets of the joint arrangement.

 

- Joint operations: where the group has both the rights to the assets and obligations for the liabilities of the joint arrangement.

 

In assessing the classification of interests in joint arrangements, the Group considers:

 

- The structure of the joint arrangement;

 

- The legal form of joint arrangements structured through a separate vehicle;

 

- The contractual terms of the joint arrangement agreement; and

 

- Any other facts and circumstances (including any other contractual arrangements).

As of June 30, 2024 and 2023 and for the years ended June 30, 2024, 2023 and 2022

(Amounts in US$, except otherwise indicated)

 

The Group accounts for its interests in joint ventures and associates using the equity method, where the Group’s share of post-acquisition profits and losses and other comprehensive income is recognized in the Consolidated statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income.

 

Losses in excess of the Group’s investment in the joint venture and associates are recognized only to the extent that the Group has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the joint venture.

 

Profits and losses arising on transactions between the Group and its joint ventures and associates are recognized only to the extent of unrelated investors’ interests in the joint venture and/or associates. The Group’s share in a joint venture and/or associates’ profits and losses resulting from a transaction is eliminated against the carrying amount of investment in the joint venture and/or associates through the line “share of profit (or loss) of joint ventures and associates” in the Consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

 

Any premium paid for an investment in a joint venture and/or associates above the fair value of the Group’s share of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired is capitalized and included in the carrying amount of the investment in the joint venture and/or associates. Where there is objective evidence that the investment in a joint venture and/or associates has been impaired, the carrying amount of the investment is tested for impairment in the same way as other non-financial assets.

 

When the Group loses significant influence in an associate or joint control over a joint venture, it measures and recognizes any investment held at fair value. Any difference between the carrying amount of the associate or joint venture when losing significant influence or joint control and the fair value of the held investment and sale revenue are recognized in profit or loss.

 

The Group accounts for its interests in joint operations by recognizing its share of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses in accordance with its contractually conferred rights and obligations.

 

For all joint arrangements structured in separate vehicles the Group must assess the substance of the joint arrangement in determining whether it is classified as a joint venture or joint operation. This assessment requires the Group to consider whether it has rights to the joint arrangement’s net assets (in which case it is classified as a joint venture), or rights to and obligations for specific assets, liabilities, expenses, and revenues (in which case it is classified as a joint operation).

 

Paragraph 18 of IAS 28 states when an investment in an associate or a joint venture is held by, or is held indirectly through, an entity that is a venture capital organization, or a mutual fund, unit trust and similar entities, the entity may elect to measure that investment al fair value through profit or loss in accordance with IFRS 9.

 

Bioceres Group PLC has elected to measure the investment in associates held through Theo I SCS a fair value through profit or loss in accordance with IFRS 9.

 

Estimates

 

There is uncertainty regarding Management’s estimates of the Group’s ability to recover the carrying amounts of the investments in joint ventures, since such estimates depend on the joint ventures’ ability to generate sufficient funds to complete the development projects, the future outcome of the project deregulation process and the amounts and timing of the cash flows from projects, among other future events.

 

Management assesses whether there are impairment indicators and, if any, it performs a recoverability analysis.

(Amounts in US$, except otherwise indicated)

 

Management estimates of the recoverability of these investments represent the best estimate based on available evidence, the existing facts and circumstances, using reasonable and provable assumptions in the cash flow projections.

 

Therefore, the consolidated financial statements do not include adjustments that would be required if the Group were unable to recover the carrying amount of the above-mentioned assets by generating sufficient economic benefits in the future.

 

4.9. Property, plant and equipment

 

Property, plant and equipment items are initially recognized at cost. In addition to the purchase price, cost also includes costs directly attributable to such property, plant and equipment items. There are no unavoidable costs with respect to dismantling and removing items. The cost of property, plant and equipment items acquired in a business combination is their fair value at the acquisition date.

 

Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate the property, plant or equipment items’ cost or revalued amounts, net of their residual values, over their estimated useful lives or, in the case of leasehold improvements and certain leased plant and equipment, the shorter lease term as follows:

 

Research instruments: 3 to 10 years

 

Office equipment: 5 to 10 years

 

Vehicles: 5 years

 

Computer equipment and software: 3 years

 

Fixture and fittings: 10 years

 

Machinery and equipment: 5 to 10 years

 

Buildings: 50 years

 

Useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed every year as required by IAS 16.

 

Assets under items Land and Buildings, are accounted for at fair value arising from the last revaluation performed, applying the revaluation model indicated by IAS 16. Starting with the fiscal year ended on June 30, 2024, the Group modified its Property, Plant, and Equipment valuation policy by changing the revaluation frequency for items classified under Buildings and Land. The revaluation must never exceed five years between each occurrence, in compliance with the maximum periods established by accounting standards, or whenever there are indications that the carrying amount differs significantly from the amount that could be determined using fair value at the end of the reporting year.

 

To obtain fair values, the existence or not of an active market is considered for the assets in their current status. For those assets for which an active market in their current status exists, the fair values were determined based on their market values. For the remaining cases, the market values of comparable new assets are analyzed, applying a discount based on the status and wear of each asset and considering the characteristics of each of the revalued assets (for example, improvements made, maintenance status, level of productivity, use, etc.

 

Estimates

 

The Group carries certain classes of property, plant and equipment under the revaluation model under IAS 16. The revaluation model requires that the Group carry property, plant and equipment at revalued amounts, being fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and any subsequent accumulated impairment losses. IAS 16 requires that the Group carry out these revaluations with sufficient regularity so that the carrying amounts of its property, plant and equipment do not differ materially from that which would be determined using fair value at the end of a reporting period. The determination of fair value at the date of revaluation requires judgments, estimates and assumptions based on market conditions prevailing at the time of any such revaluation. Changes to any of the Group’s judgments, estimates or assumptions or to the market conditions subsequent to a revaluation will result in changes to the fair value of property, plant and equipment.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

As of June 30, 2024 and 2023 and for the years ended June 30, 2024, 2023 and 2022

(Amounts in US$, except otherwise indicated)

 

The Group prepares the corresponding revaluations on a regular basis taking into account the work of independent appraisers. The Group uses different valuation techniques depending on the class of property being valued. Generally, the Group determines the fair value of its industrial buildings and warehouses based on a depreciated replacement cost approach. The Group determines the fair value of its land based on active market prices adjusted, if necessary, for differences in the nature, location or condition of the specific asset. If this information is not available, the Group may use alternative valuation methods, such as recent prices in less active markets.

 

Property valuation is a significant area of estimation uncertainty. Fair values are prepared regularly by Management, taking into account independent valuations. The determination of fair value for the different classes of property, plant and equipment is sensitive to the selection of various significant assumptions and estimates. Changes in those significant assumptions and estimates could materially affect the determination of the revalued amounts of property, plant and equipment. The Group utilizes historical experience, market information and other internal information to determine and/or review the appropriate revalued amounts.

 

The following are the most significant assumptions used in the preparation of the revalued amounts for its classes of property, plant and equipment:

 

a) Land: The Group generally uses the market price of a square meter of land for the same or similar location as the most significant assumption to determine the revalued amount. The Group typically uses comparable land sales in the same location to assess appropriateness of the value of its land.

 

b)  Industrial buildings and warehouses: The Group generally determines the construction cost of a new asset and then the Group adjusts it for normal wear and tear. Construction prices may include, but are not limited to, construction materials, labor costs, installation and assembly costs, site preparation, professional fees and applicable taxes. Construction costs may differ significantly from year to year and are subject to macroeconomic changes in the economy where the Group operates, such as the impact of inflation and foreign exchange rates. The construction cost of its industrial buildings and warehouses is determined on a US dollar per constructed square meter basis, while the construction cost of its mills, facilities and grain storage facilities is determined by reference to their total capacity measured in tons milled or stored, respectively. A 5% increase or decrease in the construction costs or the estimate of normal wear and tear relating to such assets could have an impact of $ 1.2 million on their revalued amounts.

 

Increases in the carrying amounts arising on revaluation of land and buildings are recognized, net of tax, in other comprehensive income and accumulated in reserves in shareholders’ equity. To the extent that the increase reverses a decrease previously recognized in profit or loss, the increase is first recognized in profit or loss. Decreases that reverse previous increases of the same asset are first recognized in other comprehensive income to the extent of the remaining surplus attributable to the asset; all other decreases are charged to profit or loss.

 

4.10.  Leased assets

 

Leases are recognized as a right-of-use asset and corresponding liability at the date of which the leased asset is available for use by the Group. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to profit or loss over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. The right-of-use asset is depreciated over the shorter of the asset’s useful life and the lease term on a straight-line basis.

 

In determining the lease term, we consider all facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive to exercise an extension option or not exercise a termination option. Extension options (or periods after termination options) are only included in the lease term if the lease is reasonably certain to be extended (or not terminated).

(Amounts in US$, except otherwise indicated)

 

Short term leases are recognized on a straight-line basis as an expense in the income statement.

 

At initial recognition, the right-of-use asset is measured considering the value of the initial measurement of the lease liability; any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, less any lease incentives; and any initial direct costs incurred by the lessee. After initial recognition, the right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and/or impairment losses, and adjusted for any re-measurement of the lease liability. Depreciation of the right-of-use asset is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated duration of the lease contract.

 

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at such date, including variable lease payments that depend on an index or rate, initially measured using the index or rate as of the commencement date; amounts expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees; the exercise price of a purchase option if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option; payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising an option to terminate the lease; and fixed payments, less any lease incentives receivable. After the commencement date, we measure the lease liability by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability; reducing the carrying amount to reflect lease payments made; and re-measuring the carrying amount to reflect any reassessment or lease modifications.

 

The above-mentioned inputs for the valuation of the right of use assets and lease liabilities including the determination of the contracts within the scope of the standard, the contract term ant interest rate used in the discounted cash flow involved a management’s estimations.

 

4.11. Intangible assets

 

a) Externally acquired intangible assets

 

Externally acquired intangible assets are initially recognized at acquisition date fair value (which is considered as their cost). After initial recognition, those assets are measured at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses.

 

Intangible assets acquired from third parties have an estimated useful life as follows (in years):

 

Software: 3 years

 

Trademarks and patents: 5 years

 

Certification ISO Standards: 3 years

 

Useful lives and amortization methods are reviewed every year as required by IAS 38.

 

Estimates

 

To value acquired intangible assets, valuation techniques generally accepted in the market are applied, based mainly on the revenue approach (such as excess earnings, relief from royalty, and with or without), considering the characteristics of the assets to be valued and available information to estimate their acquisition date fair value. Application of these valuation techniques requires the use of several assumptions related to future cash flows and the discount rate.

(Amounts in US$, except otherwise indicated)

 

b) Internally generated intangible assets (development costs)

 

Expenditure on internally developed products is capitalized if it can be demonstrated that:

 

- It is technically feasible to develop the product for it to be sold;

 

- Adequate resources are available to complete the development;

 

- There is an intention to complete and sell the product;

 

- The Group is able to sell the product;

 

- Sale of the product will generate future economic benefits; and

 

- Expenditure on the project can be measured reliably.

 

Development expenditure not satisfying the above criteria and expenditure on the research phase of internal projects are recognized in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income as incurred (Note 8.3).

 

Capitalized development costs are amortized using the straight-line method over the periods the Group expects to benefit from selling the products developed (Note 7.8).

 

Useful lives and amortization methods are reviewed every year as required by IAS 38.

 

The research and development process can be divided into several discrete steps or phases, which generally begin with discovery, validation and development and end with regulatory approval and commercial launch. The process for developing seed traits is relatively similar for both GM and non-GM traits. However, the two differ significantly in later phases of development. For example, obtaining regulatory approval for GM seeds is a far more comprehensive and lengthy process than for non-GM seeds. Although breeding programs and industrial biotechnology solutions may have shorter or simpler phases than those described below, the Group has used the industry consensus for seed-trait development phases to characterize its technology portfolios, which is generally divided into the following six phases:

 

i) Discovery: The first phase in the technology development process is the discovery or identification of candidate genes or genetic systems, metabolites, or microorganisms potentially capable of enhancing specified plant characteristics or enabling an agro-industrial biotech solution.

 

ii) Proof of concept: Upon successful validation of the technologies in model systems (in vitro or in vivo), promising technologies graduate from discovery and are advanced to the proof of concept phase. The goal of this phase is to validate a technology within the targeted organism before moving forward with technology escalation activities or extensive field validation.

 

iii) Early development: In this phase, field tests commenced in the proof of concept phase are expanded to evaluate various permutations of a technology in multiple geographies and growing cycles, as well as other characteristics in order to optimize the technology’s performance in the targeted organisms. The goal of the early development phase is to identify the best mode of use of a technology to define its performance concept.

 

iv) Advanced development and deregulation: In this phase, extensive field tests are used to demonstrate the effectiveness of the technology for its intended purpose. In the case of GM traits, the process of obtaining regulatory approvals from government authorities is also initiated during this phase, and tests are performed to evaluate the potential environmental impact of modified plants. For solutions involving microbial fermentation, industrial-scale runs are conducted.

 

v) Pre-launch: This phase involves finalizing the regulatory approval process and preparing for the launch and commercialization of the technology. The range of activities in this phase includes seed increases, pre-commercial production, and product and solution testing with selected customers. Usually, a more detailed marketing strategy and preparation of marketing materials occur during this phase.

(Amounts in US$, except otherwise indicated)

 

vi) Product launch: In general, this phase, which is the last milestone of the research and development process, is carried out by the Group, the joint ventures and/or the Group’s technology licensees. When technology is commercialized through the joint ventures or technology licensees, a successful product launch will trigger royalty payments to the Group, which are generally calculated as a percentage of the net sales realized by the technology and captured upon commercialization.

 

Demonstrability of technical feasibility generally occurs when the project reaches the “advanced development and deregulation” phase because at this stage success is considered to be probable.

 

c) Intangible assets acquired in a business combination

 

Intangible assets acquired in a business combination and recognized separately from goodwill are initially recognized at acquisition date fair value (which is considered as their cost). After initial recognition, those assets are measured at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses in the same manner as intangible assets acquired separately.

 

Intangible assets acquired in a business combination have an estimated useful life as follows (in years):

 

Product development: 5 – 15 years

 

Trademarks: 20 years

 

Customer loyalty: 14 - 26 years

 

Estimates

 

To value intangible assets acquired from a business combination, valuation techniques generally accepted in the market were applied, based mainly on the revenue approach (such as excess earnings, relief from royalty, and with or without), considering the characteristics of the assets to be valued and available information to estimate their acquisition date fair value. Application of these valuation techniques requires the use of several assumptions related to future cash flows and the discount rate.

 

4.12.  Investment properties

 

Investment properties shall be measured initially at its cost. The cost of a purchased investment property comprises its purchase price and any directly attributable expenditure. Directly attributable expenditure includes, for example, professional fees for legal services, property transfer taxes and other transaction costs.

 

In the measurement after initial recognition, the Group has chosen the cost model for all investment property.

 

4.13.  Borrowings

 

The Group measures its borrowings at initial recognition at fair value and, subsequently, are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method.

 

Borrowing costs, either generic or specific, attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale (qualifying assets) are included in the cost of the assets until the moment that they are substantially ready for use or sale. Income earned on the temporary investments of funds generated in specific borrowings still pending use in the qualifying assets, are deducted from the total of financing costs potentially eligible for capitalization.

 

All other loan costs are recognized under financial costs, through profit and loss.

(Amounts in US$, except otherwise indicated)

 

4.14.  Convertibles notes

 

The Convertible notes were classified as compound instruments, a non-derivative financial instrument that contains both a liability and an equity component. The equity component was measured as the residual amount that results from deducting the fair value of the liability component from the initial carrying amount of the instrument. The fair value of the consideration of the liability component was measured first at the fair value of a similar liability (including any embedded non-equity derivative features, such as an issuer’s call option to redeem the bond early) that does not have any associated equity conversion option.

 

The Group considers that if the instrument meets the ‘fixed for fixed’ condition, as the strike price is pre-determined at inception and only varies over time, and it is therefore classified as equity. As regards to the mandatory conversion feature, as it is a contingent settlement provision, the Group decided to measure the liability component at initial recognition, based on its best estimate of the present value of the redemption amount and allocated the residual to the equity component.

 

4.15.  Employee benefits

 

Employee benefits are expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the reporting period and are presented as current liabilities.

 

The accounting policies related to incentive payments based on shares are detailed in Note 4.22.

 

4.16.  Provisions

 

The Group has recognized provisions for liabilities of uncertain timing or amount. The provision is measured at the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligation at the end of the reporting period, discounted at a pre-tax rate reflecting current market assessments of the time value of money and risks specific to the liability.

 

4.17. Change in ownership interest in subsidiaries without change of control

 

Transactions with non-controlling interest that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions - i.e., as transactions with the owners in their capacity as owners. The recorded value corresponds to the difference between the fair value of the consideration paid and/or received and the relevant share acquired and/or transferred of the carrying value of the net assets of the subsidiary.  

 

4.18. Revenue recognition

 

Revenue is recognized when control has been transferred to the buyer. Transfers of control vary depending on the individual terms of the sales contract. Revenues are recognized when control of the products has been transferred, which generally means that the products have been delivered to the customer and there is no unfulfilled obligation that could affect a customer’s acceptance of the products. Generally, acceptance occurs upon shipment or delivery, but ultimately depends on the terms of the underlying contracts. The customer is then invoiced at the agreed-upon price with the usual payment terms for each geographical region. Those payment terms do not contain a significant financing component.

 

The timing of performance sometimes differs from the timing that the associated consideration is received from the customer, thus resulting in the recognition of a contract asset or contract liability. We recognize a contract liability if the customer’s payment of consideration is received prior to completion of our related performance obligation.

 

As a part of our customary business practices, we offer a number of sales incentives to our customers, including volume discounts, retailer incentives, prepayment options and other product rebates. For all such contracts that include any variable consideration, we estimate the amount of variable consideration that should be included in the transaction price utilizing either the expected value method or the most likely amount method, depending on the nature of the variable consideration. Variable consideration is included in the transaction price if, in our judgment, it is probable that a significant future reversal of cumulative revenue under the contract will not occur. Although determining the transaction price for consideration requires significant judgment, we have meaningful historical experience with incentives provided to customers and estimate the expected consideration in view of historical patterns of incentive payouts. These estimates are reassessed each reporting period.

As of June 30, 2024 and 2023 and for the years ended June 30, 2024, 2023 and 2022

(Amounts in US$, except otherwise indicated)

 

We also offer an assurance warranty, which gives customers a refund or exchange right in the case the delivered product does not conform to specifications. Replacement products are accounted for under the warranty guidance if the customer exchanges one product for another of the same type, quality, and price. We have significant experience with historical return patterns and use this experience to include returns in the estimate of transaction price.

 

With respect to services, we mainly provide R&D and seed treatment services. Revenue associated with services is recognized by reference to the stage of completion of the transaction at the end of the reporting period. Each of the services to be provided has a detailed work plan in which all activities to be rendered are listed. The stage of completion for services is determined in accordance with the execution of the performed tasks listed in the respective work plan. The level of execution of such services is provided by our technical experts, who provide information relating to the transfer of goods or services. We have no material revenue for services that cannot be reliably estimated.

 

Revenue for usage-based royalties relating to licensed intellectual property rights is recognized at the later of when the performance obligation is satisfied and when a sale or use occurs.

 

Typically, our average payment terms range from 130 to 160 days at a consolidated level. Longer terms may be granted in limited circumstances; however, the effects of such sales are not material to our consolidated financial statements. Those payment terms do not contain a significant financing component.

 

4.19. Government grants

 

Government grants are recognized where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and all attached conditions will be complied with. When the grant relates to an expense item, it is recognized as income on a systematic basis over the periods that the related costs, for which it is intended to compensate, are expensed. When the grant relates to an asset, it is recognized as income in equal amounts over the expected useful life of the related asset. Management elected this accounting policy because the Group determined it better shows the financial effect of government grants in the consolidated financial statements.

 

When the Group receives grants of non-monetary assets, the asset and the grant are recorded at nominal amounts and released to profit or loss over the expected useful life of the asset.

 

The difference between the money obtained under government loans at subsidized rates and the carrying amount of those loans is treated as a government grant, in accordance with IAS 20.

 

4.20. Income tax

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized where the carrying amount of an asset or liability in the Consolidated statement of financial position differs from its tax base, except for differences arising on:

 

- The initial recognition of goodwill;

 

- The initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction which is not a business combination and at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting or taxable profit; and

 

- Investments in subsidiaries and jointly controlled entities where the Group is able to control the timing of the reversal of the difference and it is probable that the difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

As of June 30, 2024 and 2023 and for the years ended June 30, 2024, 2023 and 2022

(Amounts in US$, except otherwise indicated)

 

Recognition of deferred tax assets is restricted to those instances where it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the difference can be utilized.

 

The amount of the asset or liability is determined using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period and are expected to apply when the deferred tax liabilities / (assets) are settled / (recovered).

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when the Group has a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to taxes levied by the same tax authority on either:

 

- The same taxable entity within the Group, or

 

- Different entities within the Group which intend either to settle current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis, or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously, in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be settled or recovered.

 

4.21. Share-based payments

 

Certain executives and directors of the Group were granted incentives in the form of shares and options to purchase shares as consideration for services.

 

The cost of these share-based transactions is determined based on their fair value at the date upon which such incentives are granted using a valuation model that is appropriate in the circumstances.

 

This cost is recognized as an expense together with an increase in equity throughout the period in which the service or performance conditions are satisfied (i.e., the vesting period). The accumulated expense recorded in connection with these transactions at the end of each year until the vesting date reflects the time elapsed between the vesting period and Management’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will vest. The charge to income/loss for the period represents the variation in the accumulated expense recorded between the beginning and the end of the year.

 

Non-market related service and performance conditions are not taken into account when determining the grant date fair value of the equity instruments, but the probability that the conditions are fulfilled is assessed as part of Management’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will vest. Market-related performance conditions are reflected in the grant date fair value. Any other conditions related to equity-settled share-based payment transactions but without a service requirement are considered as non-vesting conditions. Non-vesting conditions are reflected in the fair value of the equity instruments and are charged to income/loss immediately unless there are service and/or performance conditions as well.

 

No amount is recognized for transactions that will not vest because non-market related performance conditions and/or service conditions were not satisfied. When transactions include market-related conditions or non-vesting conditions, the transactions are considered to be vested, irrespective of whether a market-related condition or the non-vesting condition is satisfied, provided that all the other performance and/or service conditions are met.

 

When the terms and conditions of an equity-settled share-based payment transaction are modified, the minimum expense recognized is the grant date fair value, unmodified, provided that the original terms have been complied with. An additional expense, measured at the date of modification, is recognized for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based payment transaction, or is otherwise beneficial to the employee.

 

When the transaction is settled by the Group or by the counterparty, any remainder of the fair value is charged to income immediately.

 

The dilutive effect of current options is considered in the calculation of the diluted earnings per share.

Estimates

 

The estimate of the fair value of equity-settled share-based payment transactions requires a determination to be made of the most adequate option pricing model to apply depending on the terms and conditions of the arrangement. This estimate also requires a determination of those factors most appropriate to the pricing model, including the expected life of the option and the expected volatility of the share price upon the basis of which hypotheses are made. The Group measures the fair value of these transactions at the grant date applying the Black-Scholes formula adjusted to consider the possible dilutive effect of the future exercise of the share options granted on their estimated fair value at grant date, as established in paragraph B41 of IFRS 2. The hypotheses used for the estimate of the fair value of these transactions are disclosed in Note 16 and will not necessarily take place in the future.

 

5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND ESTIMATES

 

The Group makes certain estimates and assumptions regarding the future. Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. In the future, actual experience may differ from these estimates and assumptions. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are listed below.

 

Critical judgements

 

- De facto control over BIOX Corp (Note 2).

 

Critical estimates

 

- Impairment of goodwill (Notes 4.7).

 

- Impairment testing of intangible assets not yet available for use or with indefinite useful lives.

 

- Identification and fair value of identifiable intangible assets arising in acquisitions

Syngenta Seedcare Agreement

 

On September 12, 2022, BIOX entered into a ten-year Exclusive Global Distribution Agreement with Syngenta Crop Protection AG (“Syngenta”), pursuant to which Syngenta will be the exclusive global distributor of certain of our biological solutions for seed care applications (the “Agreement”). Products included within the scope of the Agreement include nitrogen-fixing Rhizobia seed treatment solutions (inoculants), and other biological seed and soil treatment solutions. We have retained global rights for the use of products for HB4® crops; and, in the United States, Syngenta rights are non-exclusive for upstream applications. Pro Farm’s biological solutions are not included within the scope of the Agreement. On October 6, 2022, Syngenta made an upfront payment of $50 million as consideration under the Agreement. Concurrently with the Agreement, we entered into an R&D Collaboration Agreement and a Supply Agreement with Syngenta, which are discussed below.

 

The exclusive commercial collaboration is applicable for all countries, except for Argentina where both parties will continue to work under the existing framework. The Agreement is effective as of January 1, 2023, but its implementation was staggered as we continued distributing our products in certain countries during calendar year 2023. Syngenta will cover all operating expenses incurred in connection with marketing and sales in the exclusive territory.

 

In addition, concurrently with the Agreement, BIOX entered into a Supply Agreement with Syngenta, whereby we act as the exclusive supplier of the products under the Agreement. The manufactured products will be purchased by Syngenta at a price equivalent to the production cost plus a profit margin, to be agreed upon by the parties in compliance with applicable laws. Consequently, for purposes of complying with transfer pricing regulations, the price to be paid will be a price equivalent to market conditions for an exclusive supply agreement and Syngenta will determine the resale price for end-customers.

 

Further, BIOX entered into an R&D Collaboration Agreement that establishes a joint R&D program to accelerate the global development and registration of our products pipeline and new solutions for seed treatment, foliar and other applications. Except for “late development products” (as defined in the Agreement) which will be funded by us, funding of the R&D program will be shared between Syngenta and us, with Syngenta contributing up to 70% of the investment. The R&D Collaboration Agreement falls within the provisions of IFRS 11, as a joint operation agreement, based on the contractual rights and obligations of each party. We recognize our direct right to and share of any jointly held or incurred: assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. The R&D activities relating to “late development products,” the cost of which will be funded by us, are within the scope of IFRS 15.

 

In accordance with IFRS 15, we have determined three performance obligations which are distinct from each other: (i) licensing of intellectual property rights; (ii) manufacturing; and (iii) R&D services. The license, the manufacturing and R&D services are not inputs to a combined item and they are separately identifiable. Syngenta can benefit from the license together with readily available resources other than the manufacturing and R&D services. The manufacturing process used to produce the products and R&D services are not unique or specialized and several other entities can also manufacture the product and provide the services to Syngenta.

 

(i) Licensing of biological intellectual property rights

 

We identified a right to use license of intellectual property rights, which relates to biological products, such as patents, inventions, information, data (including registration data), know-how, among others. The license granted has significant independent functionality and it is not expected that we will undertake activities that significantly affect the intellectual property to which Syngenta has rights, and Syngenta will benefit from such intellectual property rights, as available, from the effective date.

 

To determine the suitable method for estimating the standalone selling price of the license, we considered that the license has no observable price. Therefore, we determined that the residual approach should be applied as the standalone selling price for the license is highly uncertain. We have not yet licensed such rights to other third parties and have not yet established a price for such license. The residual approach involves estimating a standalone selling price for the remaining goods or services by deducting from the total transaction price the sum of the estimated or observable standalone selling prices of other goods and services in the contract. The standalone selling price for the license was estimated based on the residual approach given that the remaining good and services in the Agreement are sold at estimated or observable standalone selling prices.

(Amounts in US$, except otherwise indicated)

 

Furthermore, the intellectual property license, pursuant to which we have assigned the right of use intellectual property rights, has a variable consideration component, which is calculated as 30% to 50% (depending on the years and territories) of the gross margin (calculated as revenue that Syngenta obtains from the commercialization of biological products, less the cost of sale of such biological products).

 

The transaction price includes fixed and variable consideration components. The fixed consideration amounts to $48.6 million (from the upfront fee mentioned above) and relates to the stand-alone selling price of the license, and the variable consideration corresponds to 30% to 50% of the gross profits from the sale of licensed products.

 

As a right-of-use license, revenue is recognized when Syngenta has the right to use and benefit from such license. The amount of the upfront fee calculated in consideration for the transfer of the promised license was recognized according to the relevant territories. $32.9 million was recognized as revenue in January 2023 relating to the countries where Syngenta may use the license for existing products, and $15.7 million related to the remaining territories was recognized as revenue in January 2024. We estimated the split based on gross margin projections for the products in the relevant territories.

 

For the variable consideration component, we will apply the exception for sales-based royalties. Sales-based royalties are recognized when the sale occurs. We use information periodically provided by Syngenta for our estimates.

 

(ii) Manufacturing

 

This performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time when control of the products is transferred to Syngenta. This performance obligation includes the right to use the commercial name of the products and is remunerated as part of the sale of such products. Syngenta may only use our trademark when selling our products pursuant to the Exclusive Global Distribution Agreement.

 

(iii) R&D Services

 

We recognize revenue by reference to the stage of completion of R&D services at the end of the reporting period that is determined by our staff and is previously agreed with Syngenta. The stage of completion for services is determined according to the execution of the performed tasks listed in the respective service work plan. Each service has a detailed technical work plan which lists all activities and tasks to be performed.

 

The Agreement has a “Clawback” clause, pursuant to which we shall pay a penalty to Syngenta, in the event of certain breaches or events. The termination events that would trigger the payment of a penalty are under our control as they relate to our unilateral decision to terminate the Exclusive Global Distribution Agreement or a decision to sell our biological products business. Considering that there is no past event that would trigger the recognition of a liability, and that such decisions are under our control, no accounting impact has been recognized for such clauses.

Natal Agro S.R.L.

 

On June 10, 2024, we acquired a controlling interest in Natal Agro S.R.L (“Natal”), an Argentine company that breeds and develops corn varieties. The interest acquired is represented by a total of 116,225 shares of AR$ 10 nominal value each, representing 51% of equity and voting interest.

 

The consideration for the acquisition was $0.22 million in cash and the commitment to carrying out, at our own expense, the regulatory activities for HB4 corn to obtain authorization for its commercialization in Argentina, and the regulatory activities for HB4 corn in Brazil, once the commercialization strategy of HB4 corn in Brazil has been defined by the Company.

 

Fair value of the consideration of payment

 

Cash payment     215,415  
Regulatory activities     727,985  
Total consideration     943,400  

 

The consideration of payment was measured at fair value, which was calculated as the sum of cash paid and the acquisition-date fair values of the regulatory services to be provided. The fair values measured were based on discounting future cash flow using market discount rates. The difference between fair value and nominal value of consideration will be recognized as finance cost over the period the consideration will be paid.

Intragroup reorganization

 

On August 18, 2021, the Board of Directors of the Company approved an intragroup reorganization (the “Reorganization”) involving the Company and several other entities within the Bioceres Group. The reorganization was executed through a series of steps referred to as the “Steps Plan Bioceres S.A. Reorganization” (the “Steps Plan”).

 

Bioceres Group PLC (“PLC” or “the company”) is a public limited company incorporated, domiciled, and registered in England and Wales under the “Companies Act 2006” created on April 3, 2021 as a wholly owned subsidiary of Bioceres S.A. The primary activity of PLC is investing in biotechnology-related projects and assets, as well as technologies associated with the food, agriculture, and health industries. (“Step 1 SPA”). As part of the Steps Plan, on August 18, 2021, Bioceres S.A (“BSA”) and the company entered into a share purchase agreement pursuant to which the Company purchased from Bioceres S.A (“Step 2 SPA”) the following businesses:

 

Name of Company   Percentage of total issued share capital of the relevant Company  
Bioceres Tech Services LLC     100 %
BG Farming Technologies Limited     80 %
Heritas Corp.     40 %

 

The consideration for the Step 2 SPA was $11,272,920, to be paid in three years after the signing date (i.e., August 18, 2021) with an annual interest rate of 5.5 % (“Step 2 Loan”).

 

On August 25, 2021, the company and THEO I SCSp, a special limited partnership incorporated in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, 100% owned by the Company (“Theo”), entered into a share purchase agreement pursuant to which Theo purchase from the company (“Step 3 SPA”) the following businesses:

 

Name of Company   Percentage of total issued share capital of the relevant Company     Allocated Consideration
BG Farming Technologies Limited     80 %   2,300,000 units
Heritas Corp.     40 %   128,497 units

 

The acquisition was completed through the issuance of interest in Theo (Units) representing an amount of $ 2,431,600.

 

On September 2, 2021, Bioceres LLC (“LLC”) and the company entered into a share purchase agreement pursuant to which the company purchased from LLC (the “Step 4 SPA”) 24.9% of equity interest of Bioceres S.A., valued at $52,134,723, and assumed financial liabilities for $32,097,525. The difference between the value of the business acquired and liabilities assumed of $20,037,198, is to be paid in three years as from the signing date (i.e., September 2, 2021) with an annual interest rate of 5.5 % (“Step 4 Loan”)-

 

On October 4, 2021, Bioceres LLC (“LLC”) and the Company entered into a share purchase agreement pursuant to which the Company purchased from LLC (the “Step 4 SPA”) 1,000,000 shares of Bioceres Crop Solutions Corp. The consideration for the Step 4 SPA was $13,310,000, to be paid in three years after the signing date (i.e., October 4, 2021) with an annual interest rate of 5.5 %.

As of June 30, 2024 and 2023 and for the years ended June 30, 2024, 2023 and 2022

(Amounts in US$, except otherwise indicated)

 

On October 4, 2021, the Company and THEO I SCSp, entered into an agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”) in which the company subscribes to Units in kind for a total amount equal to 1,000,000 ordinary shares of Bioceres Crop Solutions Corp. The consideration for the Step 4 SPA was $13,301,000.

 

As part of the reorganization, Bioceres Group offered to exchange the entire issued share capital of Bioceres S.A. on a 1 to 1 share exchange for PLC shares (“the exchange”) for a period of one year commencing on January 1, 2022.

 

As a result of the exchange, as of June 30, 2022, Bioceres Group held 16,148,562 shares of common stock with a face value of AR$ 1 representing approximately 54.83% of the issued share capital of Bioceres S.A. As of that date, Bioceres Group acquired control of Bioceres S.A. As of June 30, 2024 and 2023 the Company held an equity interest of 79,72% and 73.47% respectively on Bioceres S.A.

 

Accounting Treatment

 

The transaction is an intragroup reorganization between Bioceres S.A. (the originator), Bioceres Group PLC and other companies within the same economic group, performed in a series of steps, as described above.

 

The ultimate objective of the Reorganization is that Bioceres PLC, a newly created entity as detailed in Step 1 above, takes control of Bioceres S.A. and its subsidiaries, including the acquisition of certain other businesses (Step 3 above).

 

The shareholders of Bioceres S.A. prior to the Reorganizations, as well as those of PLC are predominantly individuals who did not, and do not, individually or collectively, have control over those entities. Consequently, there was no ultimate controlling party in Bioceres S.A. before the Reorganization or in PLC after it.

 

Through the Exchange explained above, PLC, becomes the parent company of the group (“TopCo”), no new shareholders were incorporated in such exchange.

 

Given that there is no controlling party over Bioceres S.A. and PLC before and after the Reorganization, respectively: such transaction does not meet the definition of a Business Combination Under Common Control, as it is not a business combination in which all combining entities are ultimately controlled by the same party or parties, both before and after the business combination.

 

It is important to note that, although the Exchange was not contractually committed, the substance and economic intent of the transaction was to place PLC at the top of the existing group structure, as occurred in June 2022. There is no specific guidance in IFRS 3 when a new entity, is placed on top of an existing group as a result of a corporate reorganization, where there is no economic substance or results passed on to third parties in the corporate transactions carried out, and the TopCo is not controlled by one or more shareholders. Therefore, management needs to apply judgment to develop an accounting policy that provides relevant and reliable information in accordance with IAS 8.

 

Management determined that the Reorganization should be accounted for using the predecessor accounting, explained in Note 4.6.

 

The Company is reflecting the operations of Bioceres S.A in its consolidated statement of comprehensive income and consolidated statement of cash flows for the year ended June 30. 2022, reflecting the corresponding non-controlling interest for such period.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

As of June 30, 2024 and 2023 and for the years ended June 30, 2024, 2023 and 2022

(Amounts in US$, except otherwise indicated)

 

 

There are no intangibles assets whose use has been restricted or which have been delivered as a guarantee. The Group has not assumed any commitments to acquire new intangibles.

 

Estimates

 

There is an inherent material uncertainty related to Management’s estimation of the ability of the Group to recover the carrying amounts of internally generated intangible assets related to biotechnology projects because it is dependent upon Group’s ability to raise sufficient funds to complete the projects development, the future outcome of the regulatory process, and the timing and amount of the future cash flows generated by the projects, among other future events.

 

Management’s estimations about the demonstrability of the recognition criteria for these assets and the subsequent recoverability represent the best estimate that can be made based on all the available evidence, existing facts and circumstances and using reasonable and supportable assumptions in cash flow projections. Therefore, the Consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that would result if the Group were unable to recover the carrying amount of the above-mentioned assets through the generation of enough future economic benefits.

The Group is required to test whether goodwill has suffered any impairment on an annual basis. The recoverable amount is determined based on value in use calculations. The use of this method requires the estimation of future cash flows and the determination of a discount rate in order to calculate the present value of the cash flows.

(Amounts in US$, except otherwise indicated)

 

 

Management has made the estimates considering the cash flow projections projected by the management and third-party valuation reports on the assets, intangible assets and liabilities assumed. The key assumptions utilized are the following:

 


Key assumption
Management’s approach
Discount rate

The discount rate used ranges was 15.30 % for Rizobacter, Bioceres Crops, and Insuagro and 9.9 % for Pro Farm.

 

The weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”) rate has been estimated based on the market capital structure. For the cost of debt, the indebtedness cost of the CGUs was used.

 

For the cost of equity, the discount rate is estimated based on the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM).

 

The value assigned is consistent with external sources of information.

 

Budgeted market share of joint ventures and other customers

The projected revenue from the products and services of the CGUs has been estimated by the management based on market penetration data for comparable products and technologies and on future expectations of foreseen economic and market conditions.

 

The value assigned is consistent with external sources of information.

 

Budgeted product prices

The prices estimated in the revenue projections are based on current and projected market prices for the products and services of the CGUs.

 

The value assigned is consistent with external sources of information.

 

Growth rate used to extrapolate future cash flow projections to terminal period

The growth rate used to extrapolate the future cash flow projections to terminal period is 2%.

 

The value assigned is consistent with external sources of information.

 

 

Management believes that any reasonably possible change in any of these key assumptions would not cause the aggregate carrying amount of the CGU to exceed its recoverable amount.

Conditional payment Rizobacter SA     15,916,116       15,916,116  
Provisions for contingencies     1,568,599       985,657  
      17,484,715       16,901,773  

 

The Group has recorded a provision for probable administrative, judicial and out-of-court proceedings that could arise in the ordinary course of business, based on a prudent criterion according to its professional advisors and on Management’s assessment of the best estimate of the amount of possible claims. These potential claims are not likely to have a material impact on the results of the Group’s operations, its cash flow or financial position.

 

Management considers that the objective evidence is not enough to determine the date of the eventual cash outflow due to a lack of experience in any similar cases. However, the provision was classified under current or non-current liabilities, applying the best prudent criterion based on Management’s estimates.

 

There are no expected reimbursements related to the provisions.

 

In order to assess the need for provisions and disclosures in its consolidated financial statements, Management considers the following factors: (i) nature of the claim and potential level of damages in the jurisdiction in which the claim has been brought; (ii) the progress of the eventual case; (iii) the opinions or views of tax and legal advisers; (iv) experience in similar cases; and (v) any decision of the Group’s management as to how it will respond to the eventual claim.

 

Conditional payment Rizobacter S.A.

 

The Group agreed with certain sellers of Rizobacter, a contingent payment of $17.3 million (current value of $15.9 million) conditional on obtaining a favorable resolution that totally rejects the claim of the plaintiff in the nullity trials, file “Harnan Miguel, Marcos and Martina c /ac Mullen Jorge and others s/ Annulment Action”, file No. 76,806 and in the embargo, file “Harnan Miguel, Marcos and Martina c/ Mac Mullen Jorge and others s/ Precautionary Measures”, file No. 76,745. In said cause, 44% of the capital of Rizobacter Argentina S.A. is seized and 30% of the dividends that the taxed shares produce.

 

If the injunction is lifted, the Group will be required to pay within 12 months of notification, a contingent purchase price of $17.3 million to certain selling shareholders of Rizobacter.

The amount of tax losses for the fiscal year ended on June 30 2024, is an estimate of the amount to be presented in the tax return.

 

Estimates

 

There is an inherent material uncertainty related to management’s estimation of the ability of the Group to use the deferred tax assets (both carryforward of unused tax losses and deductible temporary differences) and the credit of minimum presumed income tax because their future utilization depends on the generation of enough future taxable income by the entities within the Group during the periods in which those temporary differences are deductible or when the unused tax losses can be used.

 

Based on the projections of future taxable income for the periods in which the deferred tax assets are deductible, the Group’s management estimates that, except for the part of deferred tax asset that were unrecognized, it is probable that the entities within the Group can utilize those deferred tax assets, which depends, among other factors, on the success of the current projects of agricultural biotechnology, the future market price of commodities and the market share of the entities within the Group.

 

The estimates of Management about the demonstrability of the recognition criteria for these deferred tax assets and their subsequent recoverability represent the best estimate that can be made based on all the available evidence, existing facts and circumstances and the use of reasonable and supportable assumptions in the projections of future taxable income. Therefore, the consolidated financial statements do not include adjustments that could result if the entities within the Group would not be able to recover the deferred tax assets through the generation of enough future taxable income.

14. SEGMENT INFORMATION

 

The Group is organized into four main operating segments:

 

Seed and integrated products

 

The seed and integrated products segment focuses mainly on the development and commercialization of seed technologies and products that increase yield per hectare, with a focus on the provision of seed technologies integrated with crop protection and crop nutrition products designed to control weeds, insects or diseases, to increase their quality characteristics, to improve nutritional value and other benefits. The segment focuses on the commercialization of integrated products that combine three complementary components biotechnological events, germplasm and seed treatments—in order to increase crop productivity and create value for customers. While each component can increase yield independently, through an integrated technology strategy the segment offers products that complement and integrate with each other to generate higher yields in crops.

 

Currently the segment generates revenue from ordinary activities through the sale of seeds, integrated product packs, royalties and licenses charged to third parties, among others.

 

Crop protection

 

The crop protection segment mainly includes the development, production and marketing of high-tech adjuvants and a full range of pest control molecules and biocontrol products. Adjuvants are used in mixtures to facilitate the application and effectiveness of active ingredients, such as insecticides, leading to better performance, reduced usage rates and lower residue levels Insecticides and fungicides are applied to control pests and significantly reduce disease during the germination period.

 

The segment currently generates revenue from ordinary activities through the sale of adjuvants, insecticides, fungicides, and baits, among others.

 

Crop nutrition

 

The crop nutrition segment focuses mainly on the development, production and commercialization of inoculants that allow the biological fixation of nitrogen in the crops, and of fertilizers including biofertilizers and microgranulated fertilizers that optimize the productivity and yield of the crops.

 

Currently the segment generates income from ordinary activities through the sale of inoculants, bio-inductors, biological fertilizers and microgranulated fertilizers, among others.

 

The measurement principles for the Group’s segment reporting structure are based on the IFRS principles adopted in the Consolidated financial statements. Revenue generated by products and services exchanged between segments and entities within the Group are calculated based on market prices.

 

Emerging solutions

 

The emerging solution segment is based on providing R&D services, biotechnology capabilities and specialised expertise to facilitate the integration of technologies and product development efforts within the Group, as well as R&D services to third parties.

 

This segment includes revenue sources primarily related to agro-industrial biotechnology businesses, such as those generated by the production and commercialization of industrial enzymes and fermentation technology to convert sugars and oils into high-value molecules or compounds.

15. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS – RISK MANAGEMENT

 

The Group is exposed to a variety of financial risks that arise from its activities and from its use of financial instruments. This Note provides information on the Group’s exposure to certain main risks, the Group’s objectives, policies and processes regarding the measurement and management of each risk.

 

The Group does not use derivative financial instruments to hedge any of the above risks.

 

General objectives, policies, and processes

 

The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for establishing and monitoring the Group’s risk management objectives and policies and, whilst retaining ultimate responsibility for them, it has delegated the function to design and operate processes that ensure the effective implementation of the objectives and policies to the management that periodically reports to the Board of Directors on the evolution of the risk management activities and results. The overall objective of the Board of Directors is to set policies that seek to reduce risk as much as possible without unduly affecting the Group’s competitiveness and flexibility.

 

The Group’s risk management policy is established to identify and analyze the risks facing the Group, to set appropriate risk limits and controls and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. The risks and methods for managing the risks are reviewed regularly in order to reflect changes in market conditions and the Group’s activities. The Group, through training and management standards and procedures, aims to develop a disciplined and constructive control environment in which all the employees understand their roles and obligations.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

As of June 30, 2024 and 2023 and for the years ended June 30, 2024, 2023 and 2022

(Amounts in US$, except otherwise indicated)

 

The Group seeks to use suitable means of financing to minimize the Group’s capital costs and to manage and control the Group’s financial risks effectively. There have been no substantive changes in the Group’s exposure to financial instrument risks, its objectives, policies and processes for managing those risks or the methods used to measure them from previous periods unless otherwise stated in this Note.

 

The Group adopted a code of ethics applicable to its principal executive, financial and accounting officers and all employees.

 

The principal risks and uncertainties facing the business, set out below, do not appear in any particular order of potential materiality or probability of occurrence.

 

Credit risk

 

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty fails to meet its contractual obligations, which derives mainly from trade and other receivables, as well as from cash and deposits in financial institutions.

 

The credit risk to which the Group is exposed is mainly defined in the Group’s accounts receivable followed by cash and cash equivalents, with the logical importance of being able to satisfy the Group’s needs in the short term.

 

Trade and other receivables

 

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty fails to meet its contractual obligations and derives mainly from trade receivables and other receivables generated by services and product sales. The Group is also exposed to political and economic risk events, which may cause nonpayment of local and foreign currency obligations to the Group owed by customers, partners, contractors and suppliers.

 

The Group sells its products to a diverse base of customers. Customers include multi-national and local agricultural companies, distributors, and farmers who purchase the Group’s products. Type and class of customers may differ depending on the Group’s business segments.

 

The Group’s management determines concentrations of credit risk by periodically monitoring the credit worthiness rating of existing customers and through a monthly review of the trade receivables’ aging analysis. In monitoring the customers’ credit risk, customers are grouped according to their credit characteristics.

 

The Group’s policy is to manage credit exposure to counterparties through a process of credit rating. The Group performs credit evaluations of existing and new customers, and every new customer is examined thoroughly regarding the quality of its credit before offering the customer transaction terms. The examination made by the Group includes outside credit rating information, if available. Additionally, and even if there is no independent outside rating, the Group assesses the credit quality of the customer taking into account its financial position, past experience, bank references and other factors. A credit limit is prescribed for each customer. These limits are examined periodically. Customers that do not meet the Group’s criteria for credit quality may do business with the Group on a prepayment basis or by furnishing collateral satisfactory to the Group. The Group may still seek collateral and guarantees as it may consider appropriate regardless the credit profile of any customer.

 

To cover trade receivables, the Group has a credit insurance for main subsidiaries, which periodically analyzes its customer portfolio.

 

The financial statements contain specific provisions for doubtful debts, which properly reflect, in Management’s estimate, the loss embedded in debts, the collection of which is doubtful. The maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of each financial asset in the statement of financial position after deducting any impairment allowance.

Cash and deposits in banks

 

The Group is exposed to counterparty credit risk on cash and cash equivalent balances. The Group holds cash on deposit with a number of financial institutions. The Group manages its credit risk exposure by limiting individual deposits to clearly defined limits. The Group only deposits with high quality banks and financial institutions.

 

The maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents in the statement of financial position.

 

Liquidity risk

 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting its financial obligations when they come due.

 

The Group’s approach to managing its liquidity risk is to manage the profile of debt maturities and funding sources, maintaining sufficient cash, and ensuring the availability of funding from an adequate amount of credit facilities. The Group’s ability to fund its existing and prospective debt requirements is managed by maintaining diversified funding sources.

 

The cash flow forecast is determined at both an entity level and consolidated level. The forecasts are reviewed by the Board of Directors in advance, enabling the Group’s cash requirements to be anticipated. The Group examines the forecasts of its liquidity requirements in order to ascertain that there is sufficient cash for the operating needs, including the amounts required in order to settle financial liabilities.

 

The following table sets out the contractual maturities of financial liabilities:

As of June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Group had no exposure to derivative liabilities.

 

Currency risk

 

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rate. Currency on foreign exchange risk arises when the Group enters into transactions denominated in a currency other than its functional currency.

 

Part of our business activities is conducted in Argentine pesos. However, some of our subsidiaries using the Argentine peso as their functional currency also have significant transactions denominated in U.S. dollars, mainly with respect to sales and financing activities.

 

The table below sets forth our net exposure to currency risk as of June 30, 2024:

 

Net foreign currency position   06/30/2024  
Amount expressed in US   $ (5,767,541 )
Other currencies     (3,837,458 )

 

The main Argentinian subsidiaries of the Group have changed their functional currency from Argentine Pesos to US Dollar (Note 2).

 

Considering only this net currency exposure as of June 30, 2024, if an Argentine peso/US dollar revaluation or depreciation in relation to other foreign currencies with the remaining variables remaining constant, would have a positive or a negative impact on comprehensive income as a result of foreign exchange gains or losses. We estimate that a devaluation or an appreciation of the Argentine peso against the U.S. dollar of 20% during the year ended June 30, 2024, would have resulted in the following results:

 

    Estimated  
Exchange rate variation   (-)20%     (+)20%  
Argentine peso amount expressed in US$     -1,921,000       1,921,000  

 

Interest rate risk

 

The Group’s financing costs may be affected by interest rate volatility. Borrowings under the Group’s interest rate management policy may be fixed or floating rate. The Group maintains adequate committed borrowing facilities and holds most of its financial assets primarily in cash or checks collected from customers that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash.

 

The Group’s interest rate risk arises from long-term borrowings. Borrowings issued at floating rates expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. Borrowings issued at fixed rates expose the Group to fair value interest rate risk. The Group has not entered into derivative contracts to hedge this exposure.

 

The Group does not use derivative financial instruments to hedge its interest rate risk exposure.

The Group’s debt composition is set out below.

 

Carrying amount   06/30/2024     06/30/2023  
Fixed-rate instruments            
Current financial liabilities     187,141,491       159,407,546

      61,745,322       29,042,236  

 

Holding all other variables constant, including levels of our external indebtedness, as of June 30, 2024, a one percentage point increase in floating interest rates would increase interest payable by less than $0.01 million.

 

The Group does not use derivative financial instruments to hedge its interest rate risk exposure.

 

Capital risk

 

The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders, and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.

 

The Group manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it in the light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of any dividends it could pay to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares, or sell assets to reduce debt.

Financial instruments measured at fair value

 

Fair value by hierarchy

 

According to the requirements of IFRS 7, the Group classifies each class of financial instrument valued at fair value into three levels, depending on the relevance of the judgment associated to the assumptions used for measuring the fair value.

 

Level 1 comprises financial assets and liabilities with fair values determined by reference to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2 comprises inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices);

 

Level 3 comprises financial instruments with inputs for estimating fair value that are not based on observable market data.

Estimation of fair value

 

The fair value of marketable securities, mutual funds and US Treasury Bills is calculated using the market approach using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. The quoted marked price used for financial assets held by the Group is the current bid price. These instruments are included in level 1.

 

The Group’s financial liabilities, which were not traded in an active market, were determined using valuation techniques that maximize the use of available market information and thus rely as little as possible on specific estimates of the entity specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instruments are included in level 2.

 

If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instruments are included in level 3.

 

The Group’s policy is to recognize transfers between different categories of the fair value hierarchy at the time they occur or when there are changes in the circumstances that cause the transfer. There were no transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy. There were no changes in economic or business circumstances affecting fair value.

 

Financial instruments not measured at fair value

 

The financial instruments not measured at fair value include cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, other accounts receivable, trade payables and other debts, borrowings, financed payments and convertible notes.

 

The carrying value of financial instruments not measured at fair value does not differ significantly from their fair value, except for borrowings (Note 7.12).

 

Management estimates that the carrying value of the financial instruments measured at amortized cost approximates their fair value.

 

16. LEASES

 

The right-of-use asset was initially measured at the amount of the lease liability plus initial direct costs incurred, adjusted by pre-payments made in relation to the lease. The right-of-use asset was measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment.

 

The lease liability was initially measured at the present value of the lease payments payable over the lease term, discounted at the rate implicit in the lease if it can be readily determined. If that rate cannot be readily determined, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate.

Key management personnel are those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Group.

 

The compensation of directors and other members of key management personnel, including social contributions and other benefits, were as follows for the year ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.

      10,677,922       3,863,791       4,369,517  

 

The Group entered into indemnification agreements with each of its directors and executive officers. These agreements generally provide that the relevant director or officer will be indemnified by the Group to the fullest extent permitted by law against liability and against all expenses reasonably incurred or paid by him or her in connection with any claim, action, suit or proceeding which he or she becomes involved as a party or otherwise by virtue of his or her being or having been such a director or officer of the Group and against amounts paid or incurred by him or her in the settlement thereof.

 

The agreements are subject to certain exceptions, including that no indemnification will be provided to any director or officer against any liability to the Group or its shareholder (i) by reason of intentional fraudulent conduct, dishonesty, willful misconduct, or gross negligence on the part of the director or officer; or (ii) by reason of payment made under an insurance policy or any third party that has no recourse against the indemnitee director or officer.

 

The compensation of key executives is determined by the Board of Directors of Bioceres Group PLC, Bioceres S.A. and Bioceres Crop Solutions Corp., based on the performance of individuals and market trends.

 

Bioceres Group currently does not pay any compensation to any of its executive board members.

 

19. SHARE-BASED PAYMENT

 

  19.1 Bioceres S.A share based payments

 

In accordance with the compensation policy defined by the Group, certain directors of Bioceres S.A. have the option of choosing to collect the annual incentive in cash or in shares of BIOX. The incentive is for up to five times the monthly salary of each one and increases by $30,000 in the event that they choose to receive the incentive in the form of shares.

 

As of June 30, 2023, and 2022, 8,560 and 5,929 shares of Bioceres Crop Solutions Corp, were assigned to the beneficiaries, which were granted immediately in recognition of the professional performance demonstrated during the year.

 

Additionally, in January 2024, in compliance with the resolution in Minute No. 256 of the Board Meeting held in December 2021, it was decided to grant the Bioceres 2021 Award. It consists of 10,000 shares of Bioceres Crops Solutions Corp for Dr. Lía Raquel Chan, a researcher at CONICET, in recognition of her leadership in the early development of HB4 technology.

  19.2 Bioceres Crop Solutions Corp share based payments

 

2023 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan

 

On May 12, 2023, the board of directors of Bioceres Crop Solutions Corp approved the 2023 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan to attract and retain the best available personnel, provide additional incentives to employees, directors and consultants and to promote the success of our business. In addition to introducing new incentive plans, it comprehensively amends and restates in entirety (i) the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, (ii) the Equity Compensation Plan, (iii) the Stand-Alone Stock Option Grant, and (iv) the Employee Stock Option Plan.

 

  - Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”): incentive plan for eligible employees with no stock compensation to purchase ordinary shares of BIOX up to a maximum of 15% percent of such employee’s monthly compensation. The number of ordinary shares subject to the ESPP shall be 200,000 ordinary shares. The purchase price will be equal to 85% of the lower of the closing price of BIOX’s ordinary shares on the first business day and the last business day of the relevant offering period. As of the date of these consolidated financial statements the ESSP is not yet implemented.

 

  - Equity Compensation Plan: annual incentive plan based on certain financial and operational targets defined by the Board of Directors upon approval of the annual budget.

 

  - Stand Alone Stock Option Grant: plan granted up to 1,200,000 underlying ordinary shares. The options have an exercise price of $4.55 and expire on October 31, 2029. Options can be exercised for a period of up to three years, with 1/3 vesting every 12 months, and on a cashless basis at their volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the ordinary shares during a twenty-day period to the date of exercise.

 

  - Employee Stock Option Plan: plan granted up to 100,000 underlying ordinary shares to certain key employees. The options have an exercise price of $5.55 and expire on October 23, 2030. Options can be exercised for a period of up to three years, with 1/3 vesting every 12 months, and on a cashless basis at their volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the ordinary shares during a twenty-day period to the date of exercise.

 

  - Past Share Option plan: immediately vested options with a strike price between $11.93 and $13.24.

 

  - Base Share Option plan: to vest and become exercisable in equal installments on June 30, 2023, June 30, 2024, and June 30, 2025, with a strike price between $10.47 and $10.79.

 

  - Performance Share Option plan: to vest and become exercisable if the Group’s fiscal year 2025 EBITDA reaches at least US$120 million, at 0% of the award, and linearly thereafter up to 100% of the awarded options when reaching at least US$150 million. These options have also a strike price of between $10.47 and $10.79.

 

The fair value of the stock options at the grant date was estimated using the “Black-Scholes” model, considering the terms and conditions under which the options on shares were granted and adjusted to consider the possible dilutive effect of the future exercise of options.

The Group estimated that nearly 100% of the share options will be exercised, based on historical trends of executive retention and option exercise behavior. This estimate is reviewed at the end of each annual or interim period.

 

2013 Stock Incentive Plan

 

As part of the merger described in Note 6, we have assumed the outstanding “2013 Stock Incentive Plan” from Pro Farm Group. On the merger date the total equity awards outstanding was converted consistent with the terms of the merger agreement into an aggregate of 1,191,362 option and or restricted stock units which was fully registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 26, 2022. All equity awards retained their original granted terms. BIOX has not granted any additional awards under this plan during the year.

 

Bioceres Crop Solutions’ fair value of the grants was estimated utilizing a Black Scholes option pricing model based on the following range of assumptions which have determined consistent with BIOX’s historical methodology for such assumptions:

 

    July 12,
2022
Exercise price   $7.16 - 204.66
Expected life (years)   0.03 - 9.83
Estimated volatility factor   34.9% - 44.4%
Risk-free interest rate   0.0%

(Amounts in US$, except otherwise indicated)

 

Annual compensation - Bonus

 

Bonus in Cash is an annual cash incentive awarded up to an amount that is five times the individual’s monthly salary, which can be increased by $30,000 in value if the recipient decides to receive the base bonus in ordinary shares, to each of the executive offices. The bonus will be granted upon the meeting by the Company of certain financial and operational objectives. Each year the Board of Directors defines the objectives upon approval of the annual budget.

 

Bonus in Kind is an annual in-kind incentive awarded in ordinary shares to certain executive officers, to tie a portion of their compensation to financial and operational objectives. Each year the Board of Directors will define the objectives upon approval of the annual budget.

 

The number of shares that can be awarded under each bonus will be determined by using a 20-day volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the Company’s ordinary shares, starting with the day on which the relevant financial and operational objectives are met by the Company and the bonus is granted.

 

50% of bonus vests immediately if the financial and operational objectives are achieved as of such date, and the remaining 50% vests in the subsequent 12-months, upon meeting of the financial and operational objectives.

 

20. CONTINGENCIES, COMMITMENTS AND RESTRICTIONS ON THE DISTRIBUTION OF PROFITS

 

The new secured guaranteed notes and the convertibles notes referenced in Note 7.13 are secured by substantially all of the assets located in the United States of Pro Farm Group, Inc. and its U.S. subsidiaries and are guaranteed by BCS Holding Inc., Bioceres Crops do Brasil Ltda., Bioceres Crops S.A., Bioceres Semillas S.A.U., Verdeca LLC, Rasa Holding LLC, Rizobacter Argentina S.A., Rizobacter del Paraguay S.A., Rizobacter do Brasil Ltda., Rizobacter South Africa, Rizobacter Uruguay, Rizobacter USA, LLC, Pro Farm Group, Inc., Pro Farm Michigan Manufacturing LLC, Pro Farm, Inc., Pro Farm Technologies Comércio de Insumo Agrícolas do Brasil Ltda., Glinatur S.A. and Pro Farm OU.

 

21. EVENTS OCCURRING AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD

 

On November 25, 2024, our subsidiary, Rizobacter Argentina S.A., announced the issuance of Series X corporate bonds in the Argentine market, detailed as follows:

 

Class A: $2.4 million 7.0% p.a. bonds due November 2026

 

Class B: $23.5 million 8.0% p.a. bonds due November 2027

 

The settlement date for both classes is November 28, 2024.

Under this ten-year agreement, GDM will use Verdeca’s patented platform to develop and market a new generation of soybean varieties with superior agronomic performance. This opportunity will leverage from the collaboration that has already started several years ago.

 

Subsequent to June 30, 2024, the Group initiated a plan to dispose of its investment in Theo I SCSp, currently recognized as a non-current asset under the Investments in joint ventures and associates line item in the consolidated statement of financial position.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

As of June 30, 2024 and 2023 and for the years ended June 30, 2024, 2023 and 2022

(Amounts in US$, except otherwise indicated)

 

As of the date of authorization of these consolidated financial statements, the investment meets the criteria to be classified as a disposal group held for sale under IFRS 5. Theo I SCSp is included within the Seed Development and Strategic Investment segment of the Group. The planned disposal aligns with the Group’s strategic focus and capital allocation priorities.

 

On April 1, 2025, pursuant to resolutions passed at a General Meeting of Shareholders, the Company re-registered as a private limited company and changed its legal name from Bioceres Group PLC to Bioceres Group Limited.

 

Subsequent to June 30, 2024, there have been no other situations or circumstances that may require significant adjustments or further disclosure in these consolidated financial statements that were not mentioned above.

 

21.1 GOING CONCERN

 

On June 18, 2025, Bioceres Crop Solutions Corp. (“BIOX”), a public company controlled until that date by Bioceres Group Limited, entered into an amendment with the Secured Notes’ holders by which the holders of the Secured Notes waived the breach of covenants that lead to the default of the debt (specifically, the breach of covenants related to the Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio (determined as the ratio of (a) Consolidated Total Net Debt as of the last day of such Test Period to (b) Consolidated EBITDA of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries for such Test Period) of 3.75x as of March 31, 2025). retrospectively modifying the required Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio to 5x Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio, and extended the maturity of the Secured Notes to August 31, 2027. In accordance with the terms of the amendment, effective June 24, 2025, Gloria Montaron Estrada, Enrique Lopez Lecube and Keith McGovern were replaced in BIOX’s Board of Directors by Milen Marinov, Noah Kolatch and Scott Crocco, who were nominated by certain holders of the Secured Notes. BIOX agreed, for so long as the Secured Notes remain outstanding, to continue to nominate Messrs Marinov, Kolatch and Crocco (or such other persons as may nominated as their replacements) for additional terms as directors.

 

The effect of the changes in the terms of the Secured Notes of BIOX, one of the former subsidiaries of Bioceres Group Limited, resulted in the loss of de facto control of that subsidiary and consequently, its deconsolidation.

 

While BIOX was able to resolve the uncertainties regarding its financial plan through this agreement, as a result of the loss of control over BIOX, access to financing that Bioceres S.A., its wholly owned subsidiary Bioceres LLC and Bioceres Group Limited had until then was restricted or limited.

 

In June 2025, Bioceres S.A., one of the Argentine subsidiaries of Bioceres Group Limited, defaulted a portion of its financial debt that was due that month. As a result, Bioceres S.A. has initiated a debt restructuring process for its financial debt for an aggregate amount of $36.4 million. This process seeks to improve the debt profile of Bioceres S.A.

 

In July 2025, Bioceres LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Bioceres S.A., received a notice of default on its financial debt in the amount of $69.5 million. The creditor conducted a public auction to wit 3,062,500 pledged BIOX shares, pursuant to the New York Uniform Commercial Code. Management has responded to said creditor, reserving all rights, remedies, and defenses.

 

The defaults by Bioceres S.A. and Bioceres LLC do not have implications in other debts as there are no cross-default clauses on the remaining financial debt of the Group.

 

The aforementioned events raise a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt (or raise substantial doubt as contemplated by PCAOB standards) about the ability of Bioceres Group Limited to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Currently, the Group lacks sufficient financial resources to meet its obligations or fully implement its business plan. Without securing additional capital, or achieving a successful financial restructuring process, the Group will not be able to sustain its operations.

 

Management has plans to address the Group’s financial situation as follows:

 

Currently management is working on the financial restructuring process of Bioceres S.A.’s outstanding debt, proposing among other alternatives the extension of the maturity of current debt and the use of the Group’s cash inflows from operating activities, as well as obtaining the necessary capital to fully execute the Group’s business plan.

 

Management expects that certain shareholders and/or investors will continue or commence to provide new financing lines.

 

A dedicated Restructuring Committee has been established to address and implement the aforementioned financial restructuring process.

 

However, there is no assurance that the restructuring process will be successful, that investors and shareholders will continue to provide financing, or that the Group's future operations will generate profitability. The uncertainty surrounding the ability to secure additional funding and the potential for continued operational losses contribute to raise a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt (or raise substantial doubt as contemplated by PCAOB standards) about the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that may be required to address the potential impacts on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications liabilities, should the Group be unable to continue as a going concern.

Note 3.3. Segment reporting

 

The Group operates in a single operating segment, which is “science-based food ingredients”. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is regularly evaluated by the chief operating decision maker, who in the Group’s case is the Executive Team, in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Executive Team is composed of the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), the Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), the Chief Product Officer (“CPO”), the Chief Technology Officer (“CTO”) and the Chief Science Officer (“CSO”).

 

The Executive Team evaluates the Group’s financial information and resources and assess the financial performance of these resources on a consolidated basis on the basis of Net revenue/loss for the period.

 

The Group’s revenue, results and assets for this one reportable segment can be determined by reference to the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income and unaudited interim condensed consolidated statement of financial position.

(i) In April 2023, the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement with Nomura Securities International, Inc (“Nomura”). The Agreement provides for a committed equity financing facility under which the Company has the option, but not the obligation, to sell up to the equivalent of $50 million in aggregate gross purchase price of its ordinary shares to Nomura over a 36-month period, subject to the terms of the Agreement. The Company intends to use the proceeds from any future sales of securities under the financing facility, if it is utilized, for general corporate purposes.

 

Sales of ordinary shares to Nomura, and the timing of any such sales, will be determined by the Company from time to time in its sole discretion and will depend on a variety of factors, including, among other things, market conditions, the trading price of the ordinary shares and determinations by the Company regarding the use of proceeds from any sale.

 

On October 2024, 30,103 shares (equivalent to $ 301) were issued under the Share Purchase Agreement.

 

  (ii) On December 2024, the Board of Directors approved an increase in the Company’s share capital by an amount of $15,330 (equivalent to 1,532,969 shares), bringing the total share capital to $401,272. This increase was authorized to issue the shares under “Shared to be issued” and the related ones to “RSUs” in the statement of changes in equity (non-cash transaction)

Note 12. Share based payment

 

Under the share-based compensation plan, some employees and members of the executive management team as defined by the Board of Directors, were granted share options or restricted stock units (“RSU”) in return for their services to the Group.

 

On September 18, 2024, the Board of Directors approved the 2024 Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), making some minor modifications to the previous share-based compensation plan. Subsequently, on December 12, 2024, the Board approved the possibility of making additional grants under the Plan and revised certain terms. These changes were designed to attract, retain, and motivate key executives while promoting sustained growth and enhancing shareholder value.

 

As of December 31, 2024, Moolec had the following shared-based payment arrangements for executives and senior management:

 

  Group 1 granted up to 579,078 underlying ordinary shares (options). The options have an exercise price of $1.52 and expire in December 2030 (except one case in June 2031).

 

  Group 2 granted up to 344,555 underlying ordinary shares (options). The options have an exercise price of $8.00 and expire in December 2030.

 

  Group 3 granted up to 833,333 underlying ordinary shares (options). The options have an exercise price of $4.25 and expire between January 2033 and March 2034.

 

Also, for the period ended December 31, 2024 RSU awards were accrued to some employees and members of the executive team amounting to the equivalent of $106,468 (and $172,670 for the period ended December 31, 2023). The expense is recognized as an employee benefit expense, with a corresponding increase in equity (or liability, depending on the characteristics of the award)

 

The fair value of the options granted is measured at grant date and recognized in accordance with the requirements of IFRS 2, as an employee benefit expense, with a corresponding increase in equity.

 

Factor   Group 1     Group 2     Group 3  
Fair value of shares (range)   $ 1.00     $ 1.00     $ 1.63 - 3.21  
Exercise price   $ 1.52     $ 8.00     $ 4.25

Fair value of stock options at measurement date (range)   $ 9.11     $ 7.25     $ 1.02 – 2.65  

 

There are no market-related performance conditions or non-vesting conditions that should be considered for determining the fair value of options.

 

Moolec Science estimates an expected rotation of 2.00% annually at constant value, taking into account historical patterns of executives maintaining their jobs and the probability of exercising the options. This estimate is reviewed at the end of each annual or interim period.

Note 24. Financial instruments

 

Accounting classification and fair value

 

Financial assets and liabilities are recognized when an entity of the Group becomes party to the contractual provisions of an instrument. The Company applies a hierarchy to classify valuation methods used to measure financial instruments carried at fair value. Levels 1 to 3 are defined based on the degree to which fair value inputs are observable and have a significant effect on the recorded fair value, as follows:

 

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

 

Level 2: Valuation techniques use significant observable inputs, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices), or valuations are based on quoted prices for similar instruments; and

 

Level 3: Valuation techniques use significant inputs that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

 

18


 

The following represents the carrying value and fair value of the Company’s financial instruments and non-financial derivatives:

(i) Cash, short-term investments, trade and other receivables, prepayments, trade and other payables and lease liabilities are recorded at carrying value, which approximates fair value due to their short-term nature and generally negligible credit losses.

 

(ii) The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt is based on secondary market indicators, categorized in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. As of June 30, and December 31, 2024 the fair value equivalent to an amount of $9,562,041 and $14,997,044 respectively.

 

(iii) Fair value of cash equivalent, short-term investment and warrants has been determined using the quoted market price at the period-end (level 1).

Note 25. Events after the reporting period

 

Management has considered subsequent events through the date these consolidated financial statements were issued:

 

On March 11, 2025 the Company received a letter from the staff of the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that it has not regained compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) due to the closing bid price of its listed securities remaining below $1.00 per share over 30 consecutive business days as of September 10, 2024, and failing to reach $1.00 for more than 10 consecutive business days thereafter.

 

On March 13, 2025, the Company appealed the Staff’s determination to a Hearings Panel and intends to present a plan to regain and maintain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) by executing a reverse share split, and such appeal automatically stays any potential delisting and the filing of the Form 25-NSE pending the hearing and decision of the Hearings Panel.

 

On April 4, 2025, the Company was granted an exception by Nasdaq until May 30, 2025 to effect the reverse share split and thereafter regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule. In the event the Company fails to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule by that date, its securities will be delisted.

 

On March 14, 2025, the Board of Directors approved and authorized the convening of an extraordinary shareholders' meeting upon completion of all necessary formalities to consider and vote on the proposed reverse share split.

 

On March 19, the Board of Directors reviewed and discussed the appropriate minimum and maximum ratio to be informed to Nasdaq in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. After due consideration of market conditions and regulatory requirements, the Board recommends a ratio within the range of 2 to 10. This recommended range will be subject to further confirmation by the Board at the time of convening the extraordinary shareholders' meeting (“EGM”). The final ratio will ultimately be determined and approved by the shareholders during the EGM.

 

On March 24, 2025 the State of Delaware approved the dissolution of the non-operative subsidiary Lightjump Acquisition Corporation.

 

As of the date of issuance of these financial statements, the Company is in the process of filing the transfer of jurisdiction of incorporation from the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg to the Cayman Islands, as an exempted company incorporated under the laws of such country.

 

On April 7, 2025, it was notified of an extraordinary general meeting of the shareholders ("EGM") to be held on April 22, 2025. Matters submitted to the Extraordinary General Meeting include the approval of the transfer of the central administration (administration centrale) and registered office (siège social) of the Company from the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg to the Cayman Islands, and to set the registered office of the Company at c/o Ogier Global (Cayman) Limited, 89 Nexus Way, Camana Bay, Grand Cayman KY1-9009, Cayman Islands, with effect as from the Effective Date (as defined in the convening notice), to acknowledge the Migration (as defined in the convening notice) and to approve the Share Capital Reduction (as defined in the convening notice) of the Company so as to reduce the share capital pursuant to the Consolidation Ratio (as defined in the convening notice), which will be set between 2:1 and 10:1.

 

On April 7, 2025, Mr. Gastón Paladini and Mr. Esteban Corley informed Moolec Science SA of their resignations as Members of the Board of Directors, effective as of April 22, 2025, immediately following the conclusion of the Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM), or by 11:59 p.m. Luxembourg time on that same day, whichever occurs first. In addition, Mr. Paladini will also resign as Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Company, effective as of the same date.

 

The scheduled EGM will consider the potential appointment of two new members for the Company’s Board. The Board of Directors will announce in due time the Company’s new Chief Executive Officer before April 22, 2025. All Board members remain fully committed to the Company’s operations and strategic objectives, and will continue working diligently and with dedication to deliver value to its stakeholders.

25.1. Going concern

 

On April 17, 2025, the Company, Bioceres Group Limited (formerly, Bioceres Group PLC, one of the main shareholders of the Company) (“Bioceres Group”), Gentle Technologies Corp (“Gentle Tech”), and Nutrecon LLC (“Nutrecon”) entered into a business combination agreement (the “Bioceres Group Business Combination Agreement”), pursuant to which several parties transferred their respective holdings in Bioceres Group, Nutrecon and Gentle Tech (together, the “Contributed Entities”) to the Company, in exchange of a combination of newly issued Company’s shares, and warrants, to the shareholders of the Contributed Entities. Following the closing, Moolec became the legal parent company of the combined group comprising Bioceres Group, Gentle Tech and Nutrecon.

 

On June 18, 2025, Bioceres Crop Solutions Corp. (“BIOX”), a public company controlled until that date by Bioceres Group Limited, entered into an amendment with the Secured Notes’ holders by which the holders of the Secured Notes waived the breach of covenants that lead to the default of the debt (specifically, the breach of covenants related to the Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio (determined as the ratio of (a) Consolidated Total Net Debt as of the last day of such Test Period to (b) Consolidated EBITDA of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries for such Test Period) of 3.75x as of March 31, 2025). retrospectively modifying the required Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio to 5x Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio, and extended the maturity of the Secured Notes to August 31, 2027. In accordance with the terms of the amendment, effective June 24, 2025, Gloria Montaron Estrada, Enrique Lopez Lecube and Keith McGovern were replaced in BIOX’s Board of Directors by Milen Marinov, Noah Kolatch and Scott Crocco, who were nominated by certain holders of the Secured Notes. BIOX agreed, for so long as the Secured Notes remain outstanding, to continue to nominate Messrs Marinov, Kolatch and Crocco (or such other persons as may nominated as their replacements) for additional terms as directors.

 

The effect of the changes in the terms of the Secured Notes of BIOX, one of the former subsidiaries of Bioceres Group Limited, resulted in the loss of de facto control of that subsidiary and consequently, its deconsolidation from Bioceres Group Limited.

 

While BIOX was able to resolve the uncertainties regarding its financial plan through this agreement, as a result of the loss of control over BIOX, access to financing that Bioceres S.A., its wholly owned subsidiary Bioceres LLC, Bioceres Group Limited and Moolec Science SA had until then was restricted or limited.

 

In June 2025, Bioceres S.A., one of the Argentine subsidiaries of Bioceres Group Limited, defaulted a portion of its financial debt that was due that month. As a result, Bioceres S.A. has initiated a debt restructuring process for its financial debt for an aggregate amount of $36.4 million. This process seeks to improve the debt profile of Bioceres S.A.

 

In July 2025, Bioceres LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Bioceres S.A., received a notice of default on its financial debt in the amount of $69.5 million. The creditor conducted a public auction to wit 3,062,500 pledged BIOX shares, pursuant to the New York Uniform Commercial Code. Management has responded to said creditor, reserving all rights, remedies, and defenses.

 

The defaults by Bioceres S.A. and Bioceres LLC do not have implications in other debts as there are no cross-default clauses on the remaining financial debt of the Group.

 

The Company had the financial support of its main shareholders and considering the aforementioned events that derived in the loss of the financial support that was previously provided by Bioceres Group (and who is also no longer a shareholder of the Company), and, consequently, raise a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt (or raise substantial doubt as contemplated by PCAOB standards) about the ability of Moolec Science SA to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Currently, the Group lacks sufficient financial resources to meet its obligations or fully implement its business plan. Without securing additional capital, or achieving a successful financial restructuring process, the Group will not be able to sustain its operations.

 

Management has plans to address the Group’s financial situation as follows:

 

Currently management is working on the financial restructuring process of Bioceres S.A.’s outstanding debt, proposing among other alternatives the extension of the maturity of current debt and the use of the Group’s cash inflows from operating activities, as well as obtaining the necessary capital to fully execute the Group’s business plan.

 

Management expects that certain shareholders and/or investors will continue or commence to provide new financing lines.

 

A dedicated Restructuring Committee has been established to address and implement the aforementioned financial restructuring process.

 

However, there is no assurance that the restructuring process will be successful, that investors and shareholders will continue to provide financing, or that the Group's future operations will generate profitability. The uncertainty surrounding the ability to secure additional funding and the potential for continued operational losses contribute to raise a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt (or raise substantial doubt as contemplated by PCAOB standards) about the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that may be required to address the potential impacts on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications liabilities, should the Group be unable to continue as a going concern.

(Amounts in US$, except otherwise indicated)

 

 

 

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

 

Bioceres Group PLC is a fully integrated company incorporated on April 3, 2021, in England and Wales, whose registered office is at Highdown House, Yeoman Way, Worthing, West Sussex, United Kingdom.

 

On April 1, 2025, the Company changed its legal name from Bioceres Group PLC to Bioceres Group Limited. (Note 18).

 

Unless the context otherwise requires, “we,” “us,” “our,” and “Bioceres Group” will refer to Bioceres Group PLC and its subsidiaries.

 

2. ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND BASIS OF PREPARATION

 

Statement of compliance with IFRS as issued by IASB

 

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the six-month period ended December 31, 2024, have been prepared in accordance with Accounting Standard IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.

 

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all notes of the type normally included in an annual financial statement. Accordingly, these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are to be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024.

 

Authorization for the issue of the Consolidated financial statements

 

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group as of December 31, 2024, and June 30, 2024 and for the six-month periods ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 were approved and authorized by the Board of Directors of Bioceres Group PLC on April 15, 2025, except with respect to the matters that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern discussed in “Note 18.1. Going Concern” which was approved by the Board of Directors on August 11, 2025.

 

Basis of measurement

 

The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared using:

 

Going concern basis of accounting, considering the conclusion of the assessment made by the Group’s Management about the ability of the Group and its subsidiaries to continue as a going concern, in accordance with the requirements of paragraph 25 of IAS 1, “Presentation of Financial Statements”. (See Note 18.1)

 

Accrual basis of accounting (except for cash flows information). Under this basis of accounting, the effects of transactions and other events are recognized as they occur, even when there are no cash flows.

 

Functional currency and presentation currency

 

a) Functional currency

 

Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic market in which the entity operates (i.e., “the functional currency”).

 

b) Presentation currency

 

The consolidated financial statements of the Group are presented in US dollars.

(Amounts in US$, except otherwise indicated)

 

 

 

c) Foreign currency

 

Transactions entered into by Group entities in a currency other than their functional currency are recorded at the relevant exchange rates as of the date upon which such transactions occur. Foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the prevailing exchanges rates as of the final day of each reporting period. Exchange differences arising on the retranslation of unsettled monetary assets and liabilities are recognized immediately in profit or loss, except for foreign currency borrowings qualifying as a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation for which exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the foreign exchange reserve along with the exchange differences arising on the retranslation of the foreign operation. Upon the disposal of a foreign operation, the cumulative exchange differences recognized in the foreign exchange reserve relating to such operation up to the date of disposal are transferred to the Consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income as part of the profit or loss reorganized upon such disposal.

 

Changes in accounting policies

 

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those adopted for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2024.

4. ACQUISITIONS AND OTHER SIGNIFICANT TRANSACTIONS

 

Natal Agro S.R.L.

 

On June 10, 2024, we acquired a controlling interest in Natal Agro S.R.L (“Natal”), an Argentine company that breeds and develops corn varieties. The interest acquired is represented by a total of 116,225 shares of AR$ 10 nominal value each, representing 51% of equity and voting interest.

 

The consideration for the acquisition was $0.22 million in cash and the commitment to carrying out, at our own expense, the regulatory activities for HB4 corn to obtain authorization for its commercialization in Argentina, and the regulatory activities for HB4 corn in Brazil, once the commercialization strategy of HB4 corn in Brazil has been defined by the Company.

 

Fair value of the consideration of payment

 

Cash payment     215,415  
Regulatory activities     727,985  
Total consideration     943,400  

 

The consideration of payment was measured at fair value, which was calculated as the sum of cash paid and the acquisition-date fair values of the regulatory services to be provided. The fair values measured were based on discounting future cash flow using market discount rates. The difference between fair value and nominal value of consideration will be recognized as finance cost over the period the consideration will be paid.

 

Assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and non-controlling interest recognized

 

Cash and cash equivalents     252,923  
Other financial assets     73,950  
Trade receivables     596,463

The business combination was executed in a context of financial setbacks faced by the acquired company. To address these, in addition to the initial cash payment, Bioceres has committed to providing a working capital loan of up to $3 million to help alleviate the financial strain.

 

Bioceres will also provide regulatory services related to its proprietary technologies, which will enable strategic business development for Natal and create a new product pipeline leveraging Bioceres’ technology. Specifically, Bioceres has agreed to grant Natal an exclusive license for certain technologies to be applied to corn, with Natal committing to pay 15% of the revenues generated from this technology.

The amortization charge is included in Notes 6.3 and 6.4.

 

There are no intangibles assets whose use has been restricted or which have been delivered as a guarantee. The Group has not assumed any commitments to acquire new intangibles.

 

Estimates

 

There is an inherent material uncertainty related to Management’s estimation of the ability of the Group to recover the carrying amounts of internally generated intangible assets related to biotechnology projects because it is dependent upon Group’s ability to raise sufficient funds to complete the projects development, the future outcome of the regulatory process, and the timing and amount of the future cash flows generated by the projects, among other future events.

 

Management’s estimations about the demonstrability of the recognition criteria for these assets and the subsequent recoverability represent the best estimate that can be made based on all the available evidence, existing facts and circumstances and using reasonable and supportable assumptions in cash flow projections. Therefore, the Consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that would result if the Group were unable to recover the carrying amount of the above-mentioned assets through the generation of enough future economic benefits.

In November 2024, BIOX completed a $25.9 million public offering of Series X corporate bonds in the Argentine market. The bonds were issued in two tranches: Class A: Approximately $2.4 million 7.0% p.a. bonds due November 2026; and Class B: Approximately $23.5 million 8.0% p.a. bonds due November 2027.

 

Bioceres SA is the guarantor of the stock purchase agreement signed on October 28, 2022, between Theo I SCSp and DRACO I LATAM SPC LTD, as well as the subsequent credit line agreement signed on December 11, 2023, which are included in the investment in Theo I SCSp, as indicated in Note 11.

 

In December 2024, the Company issued 2,380,952 convertible preference shares for total proceeds of $15 million. These preference shares accrue a 9% per annum payment-in-kind (PIK) return and grant the holder specific conversion rights, including the option to convert into ordinary shares at predefined terms, mandatory conversion provisions, and redemption alternatives contingent on the occurrence of certain events.

 

The carrying value of some borrowings as of December 31, 2024 are measured at amortized cost differ from their fair value. The following fair values measured are based on discounted cash flows (Level 3) due to the use of unobservable inputs, including own credit risk.

Fair value by hierarchy

 

According to the requirements of IFRS 7, the Group classifies each class of financial instrument valued at fair value into three levels, depending on the relevance of the judgment associated to the assumptions used for measuring the fair value.

 

Level 1 comprises financial assets and liabilities with fair values determined by reference to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2 comprises inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices);

 

Level 3 comprises financial instruments with inputs for estimating fair value that are not based on observable market data.

 

Estimation of fair value

 

The fair value of marketable securities, mutual funds and US Treasury Bills is calculated using the market approach using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. The quoted marked price used for financial assets held by the Group is the current bid price. These instruments are included in level 1.

 

The Group’s financial liabilities, which were not traded in an active market, were determined using valuation techniques that maximize the use of available market information and thus rely as little as possible on specific estimates of the entity specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instruments are included in level 2.

 

If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instruments are included in level 3.

 

The Group’s policy is to recognize transfers between different categories of the fair value hierarchy at the time they occur or when there are changes in the circumstances that cause the transfer. There were no transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy. There were no changes in economic or business circumstances affecting fair value.

 

Financial instruments not measured at fair value

 

The financial instruments not measured at fair value include cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, other accounts receivable, trade payables and other debts, borrowings, financed payments and convertible notes.

 

The carrying value of financial instruments not measured at fair value does not differ significantly from their fair value, except for borrowings (Note 5.10).

 

Management estimates that the carrying value of the financial instruments measured at amortized cost approximates their fair value.

 

Currency risk

 

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rate. Currency on foreign exchange risk arises when the Group enters into transactions denominated in a currency other than its functional currency.

The table below sets forth our net exposure to currency risk as of December 31, 2024:

 

Net foreign currency position   12/31/2024  
Amount expressed in US$     3,945,953  

 

Considering only this net currency exposure as of December 31, 2024 if an US Dollar revaluation or depreciation in relation to other foreign currencies with the remaining variables remaining constant, would have a positive or a negative impact on comprehensive income as a result of foreign exchange gains or losses. We estimate that a devaluation or an appreciation of the US Dollar other currencies of 10% during the period ended December 31, 2024 would have resulted in a net pre-tax loss or gain of approximately $0.3 million.

 

14. LEASES

 

The right-of-use asset was initially measured at the amount of the lease liability plus initial direct costs incurred, adjusted by pre-payments made in relation to the lease. The right-of-use asset was measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment.

 

The lease liability was initially measured at the present value of the lease payments payable over the lease term, discounted at the rate implicit in the lease if it can be readily determined. If that rate cannot be readily determined, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate.

 

The information about the right-of-use and liabilities related with lease assets is as follows:

18. EVENTS OCCURRING AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD

 

The Group initiated a plan to dispose of its investment in Theo I SCSp, currently recognized as a non-current asset under “Investments in joint ventures and associates” line. The sale process is expected to be completed during the first half of fiscal year 2026. As of the date of authorization of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements, the investment met the criteria to be classified as a disposal group held for sale under IFRS 5.

 

On April 1, 2025, pursuant to resolutions passed at a General Meeting of Shareholders, the Company re-registered as a private limited company and changed its legal name from Bioceres Group PLC to Bioceres Group Limited.

 

Subsequent to December 31, 2024, there have been no other situations or circumstances that may require significant adjustments or further disclosure in these consolidated financial statements that were not mentioned above.

 

18.1 GOING CONCERN

 

On June 18, 2025, Bioceres Crop Solutions Corp. (“BIOX”), a public company controlled until that date by Bioceres Group Limited, entered into an amendment with the Secured Notes’ holders by which the holders of the Secured Notes waived the breach of covenants that lead to the default of the debt (specifically, the breach of covenants related to the Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio (determined as the ratio of (a) Consolidated Total Net Debt as of the last day of such Test Period to (b) Consolidated EBITDA of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries for such Test Period) of 3.75x as of March 31, 2025). retrospectively modifying the required Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio to 5x Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio, and extended the maturity of the Secured Notes to August 31, 2027. In accordance with the terms of the amendment, effective June 24, 2025, Gloria Montaron Estrada, Enrique Lopez Lecube and Keith McGovern were replaced in BIOX’s Board of Directors by Milen Marinov, Noah Kolatch and Scott Crocco, who were nominated by certain holders of the Secured Notes. BIOX agreed, for so long as the Secured Notes remain outstanding, to continue to nominate Messrs Marinov, Kolatch and Crocco (or such other persons as may nominated as their replacements) for additional terms as directors.

 

The effect of the changes in the terms of the Secured Notes of BIOX, one of the former subsidiaries of Bioceres Group Limited, resulted in the loss of de facto control of that subsidiary and consequently, its deconsolidation.

 

While BIOX was able to resolve the uncertainties regarding its financial plan through this agreement, as a result of the loss of control over BIOX, access to financing that Bioceres S.A., its wholly owned subsidiary Bioceres LLC and Bioceres Group Limited had until then was restricted or limited.

 

In June 2025, Bioceres S.A., one of the Argentine subsidiaries of Bioceres Group Limited, defaulted a portion of its financial debt that was due that month. As a result, Bioceres S.A. has initiated a debt restructuring process for its financial debt for an aggregate amount of $36.4 million. This process seeks to improve the debt profile of Bioceres S.A.

 

In July 2025, Bioceres LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Bioceres S.A., received a notice of default on its financial debt in the amount of $69.5 million. The creditor conducted a public auction to wit 3,062,500 pledged BIOX shares, pursuant to the New York Uniform Commercial Code. Management has responded to said creditor, reserving all rights, remedies, and defenses.

 

The defaults by Bioceres S.A. and Bioceres LLC do not have implications in other debts as there are no cross-default clauses on the remaining financial debt of the Group.

 

The aforementioned events raise a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt (or raise substantial doubt as contemplated by PCAOB standards) about the ability of Bioceres Group Limited to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Currently, the Group lacks sufficient financial resources to meet its obligations or fully implement its business plan. Without securing additional capital, or achieving a successful financial restructuring process, the Group will not be able to sustain its operations.

 

Management has plans to address the Group’s financial situation as follows:

 

Currently management is working on the financial restructuring process of Bioceres S.A.’s outstanding debt, proposing among other alternatives the extension of the maturity of current debt and the use of the Group’s cash inflows from operating activities, as well as obtaining the necessary capital to fully execute the Group’s business plan.

 

Management expects that certain shareholders and/or investors will continue or commence to provide new financing lines.

 

A dedicated Restructuring Committee has been established to address and implement the aforementioned financial restructuring process.

 

However, there is no assurance that the restructuring process will be successful, that investors and shareholders will continue to provide financing, or that the Group’s future operations will generate profitability. The uncertainty surrounding the ability to secure additional funding and the potential for continued operational losses contribute to raise a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt (or raise substantial doubt as contemplated by PCAOB standards) about the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that may be required to address the potential impacts on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications liabilities, should the Group be unable to continue as a going concern.

2. ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND BASIS OF PREPARATION

 

Statement of compliance with IFRS as issued by IASB

 

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the three- and nine-month period ended March 31, 2025, have been prepared in accordance with Accounting Standard IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.

 

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all notes of the type normally included in an annual financial statement. Accordingly, these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are to be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024.

 

Authorization for the issue of the consolidated financial statements

 

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group as of March 31, 2025, and June 30, 2024 and for the three- and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 were authorized by the Board of Directors of Bioceres Crop Solutions Corp. on June 20, 2025.

The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared using:

 

Going concern basis of accounting, considering the conclusion of the assessment made by the Group’s Management about the ability of the Group and its subsidiaries to continue as a going concern, in accordance with the requirements of paragraph 25 of IAS 1, “Presentation of Financial Statements”.

 

Accrual basis of accounting (except for cash flows information). Under this basis of accounting, the effects of transactions and other events are recognized as they occur, even when there are no cash flows.

 

F-11


 

 

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Amounts in US$, except otherwise indicated)

 

 

Functional currency and presentation currency

 

a) Functional currency

 

Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic market in which the entity operates (i.e., “the functional currency”).

 

b) Presentation currency

 

The consolidated financial statements of the Group are presented in US dollars.

 

c) Foreign currency

 

Transactions entered into by Group entities in a currency other than their functional currency are recorded at the relevant exchange rates as of the date upon which such transactions occur. Foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the prevailing exchanges rates as of the final day of each reporting period. Exchange differences arising from the retranslation of unsettled monetary assets and liabilities are recognized immediately in profit or loss, except for foreign currency borrowings qualifying as a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation for which exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the foreign exchange reserve along with the exchange differences arising from the retranslation of the foreign operation. Upon the disposal of a foreign operation, the cumulative exchange differences recognized in the foreign exchange reserve relating to such operation up to the date of disposal are transferred to the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income as part of the gain or loss recognized upon such disposal.

 

Changes in accounting policies

 

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those adopted for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2024.

4. ACQUISITIONS AND OTHER SIGNIFICANT TRANSACTIONS

 

Natal Agro S.R.L.

 

On June 10, 2024, we acquired a controlling interest in Natal Agro S.R.L (“Natal”), an Argentine company that breeds and develops corn varieties. The interest acquired is represented by a total of 116,225 shares of AR$ 10 nominal value each, representing 51% of equity and voting interest.

 

The consideration for the acquisition was $0.22 million in cash and the commitment to carrying out, at our own expense, the regulatory activities for HB4 corn to obtain authorization for its commercialization in Argentina, and the regulatory activities for HB4 corn in Brazil, once the commercialization strategy of HB4 corn in Brazil has been defined by the Company.

 

Fair value of the consideration of payment

 

Cash payment     215,415  
Regulatory activities     727,985  
Total consideration     943,400  

 

The consideration of payment was measured at fair value, which was calculated as the sum of cash paid and the acquisition-date fair values of the regulatory services to be provided. The fair values measured were based on discounting future cash flow using market discount rates. The difference between fair value and nominal value of consideration will be recognized as finance cost over the period the consideration will be paid.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Amounts in US$, except otherwise indicated)

 

 

The business combination was executed in a context of financial setbacks faced by the acquired company. To address these, in addition to the initial cash payment, Bioceres has committed to providing a working capital loan of up to $3 million to help alleviate the financial strain.

 

Bioceres will also provide regulatory services related to its proprietary technologies, which will enable strategic business development for Natal and create a new product pipeline leveraging Bioceres’ technology. Specifically, Bioceres has agreed to grant Natal an exclusive license for certain technologies to be applied to corn, with Natal committing to pay 15% of the revenues generated from this technology.

 

Since the issuance of the annual financial statements for the period ending June 30, 2024, we have revisited the fair value of the services we committed to providing in exchange for payment and have made progress in identifying and valuing specific intangible assets.

 

As required by the standards, measurement period adjustments are incorporated into the business combination accounting. The effect of the adjustment corresponds to the identification of an intangible asset for an amount of $0.8 million (net of deferred income tax liability and non-controlling interest of $0.5 million and $0.8 million, respectively) and a change in the fair value of the consideration by $0.4 million, generating a bargain purchase gain of $1.0 million as opposed to the $0.2 million goodwill recognized as of June 30, 2024. Comparative prior period information in the financial statements has been updated to reflect these adjustments, as if the business combination had been fully accounted for on the acquisition date.

 

Non-controlling interest was measured at the present ownership instruments’ proportionate share in the recognized amounts of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets.

In June 2024, under the terms of the HB4 Soy Supply Agreement, we supplied to Moolec an amount of HB4 soy equivalent to $6.6 million.

The Moolec Convertible Notes will mature 36 months after and include a “payment-in-kind” feature. If the trading price of Moolec’s ordinary shares exceeds the strike price of $6.00 per ordinary share for 10 trading days, we have the option to exercise the early conversion option pursuant to which the principal amount outstanding under the Moolec Convertible Notes may be converted into ordinary shares of Moolec at the strike price. At maturity, Moolec has the option to convert the principal amount outstanding under the Moolec Convertible Notes into ordinary shares. In connection with our early conversion option and Moolec’s optional conversion at maturity, Moolec may deliver ordinary shares, cash, or a combination of cash and ordinary shares.

In November 2024, we completed a $25.9 million public offering of Series X corporate bonds in the Argentine market. The bonds were issued in two tranches: Class A: Approximately $2.4 million 7.0% p.a. bonds due November 2026; and Class B: Approximately $23.5 million 8.0% p.a. bonds due November 2027.

 

In this regard, the Group has a pre-approved financing program authorized by the Argentine National Securities Commission (Comisión Nacional de Valores – CNV), which allows for the issuance of public corporate bonds for up to $200 million. As of March 31, 2025, the Group had utilized $51 million under this program, with $149 million remaining available for future use. The facility remains fully discretionary and may be utilized as needed by the Group.

 

In January 2025, we completed a $20 million financing agreement with Coöperatieve Rabobank U.A. The capital will be repaid in seven semi-annual installments between June 15, 2026, and June 15, 2029. The annual interest rate is Term SOFR plus a margin ranging from 5.15% to 6.15%, with interest payable semi-annually at the end of each interest period. Our subsidiary, Rizobacter Argentina S.A., must annually comply with specific financial covenants outlined in the agreement.

 

The carrying value of some borrowings as of March 31, 2025 are measured at amortized cost differ from their fair value. The following fair values measured are based on discounted cash flows (Level 3) due to the use of unobservable inputs, including own credit risk.

5.10. Secured Notes

 

Secured Guaranteed Notes

 

The Secured Guaranteed Notes due 2026 matured 48 months after the issue date and bore interest at 9.0% from the issue date through 24 months after the issue date, 13.0% from 25 through 36 months after the issue date and 14.0% from 37 through 48 months after the issue date. Interest was payable semi-annually. The Secured Guaranteed Notes due 2026 did not have any conversion rights into our ordinary shares.

 

Secured Convertible Guaranteed Notes

 

The Secured Guaranteed Convertible Notes were issued for a total principal amount of $55 million. The notes had a 4- year maturity and accrued interest at an annual interest rate of 9%, of which 5% was payable in cash and 4% in-kind. At any time up to maturity the note holders could opt to convert the outstanding principal amount into common share of Bioceres at a strike price of $18 per share. The Company had the option to repurchase the notes voluntarily 30 months after the issue date.

 

Both Secure Notes are subject to identical financial covenants. As of March 31, 2025, we were required to maintain a maximum Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio of 3.75x and a minimum Interest Coverage Ratio of 2.00x, tested on a quarterly basis.

During the current period, we experienced a temporary setback due to challenges in the Argentine market—most notably, the deterioration in farmer economics driven by declining commodity prices and weak yield forecasts. These external pressures significantly impacted per-hectare income for Argentine farmers, leading to reduced investment in key inputs such as fertilizers and crop protection products.

 

This reduction in demand, combined with a well-supplied ag-input market resulting from aggressive purchasing in prior years, has led to increased price pressure and lower adoption of high-value technologies like ours. However, we are encouraged that we maintained our market share in key product families, despite the overall Argentine market contraction.

 

As a result of these temporary conditions, our performance metrics were constrained, leading us to exceed the leverage ratio threshold outlined in the Secured Notes. Since, as of March 31, 2025, we were unable to demonstrate an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months, we reclassified it as a current liability for this reporting period. However, on June 18, 2025, we reached an agreement with the noteholders to amend both secured notes, introducing revised financial covenants. Under the amended terms, we are now required to maintain a maximum Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio of 5.00x and a minimum Interest Coverage Ratio of 1.50x as of March 31 and June 30, 2025—placing us in full compliance with the updated financial requirements. See Note 18.

8. EARNING PER SHARE

 

The numerators and denominators used in the calculation of basic EPS and diluted EPS are presented below:

 

    Three-month period ended     Nine-month period ended  
    03/31/2025     03/31/2024     03/31/2025     03/31/2024  
Numerator                        
Profit/ (Loss) for the period (basic EPS)     (1,303,923 )     9,257,226       (7,529,650 )     4,774,041  
Profit/ (Loss) for the period (diluted EPS)     (1,303,923 )     9,257,226       (7,529,650 )     4,774,041  
Denominator                                
Weighted average number of shares (basic EPS)     62,785,880       62,837,668       62,785,880       62,837,668  
Weighted average number of shares (diluted EPS)     62,785,880       66,761,225       62,785,880       66,761,225  
                                 
Basic profit/ (loss) attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent     (0.0208 )     0.1473       (0.1199 )     0.0760  
Diluted profit/ (loss) attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent     (0.0208 )     0.1387       (0.1199 )     0.0715  

 

For the three- and nine-month period ended March 31, 2025, diluted EPS was the same as basic EPS, as the effect of potential ordinary shares would be antidilutive.

 

For the three- and nine-month period ended March 31, 2024, diluted earnings per share was calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of shares outstanding to assume conversion of all dilutive potential shares. The Group had two categories of dilutive potential shares, share-based incentives and the convertible notes.

 

The stock options were included in the diluted EPS calculation for the three- and nine-month period ended March 31, 2024, only for the tranches in which the average market price of ordinary shares during the periods was higher than the assumed proceeds per option.

 

Convertible notes outstanding were not included in the diluted EPS calculations for the three- and nine-month period ended March 31, 2024, because the interest (net of tax and other changes in income or expense) per ordinary share obtainable on conversion exceeds basic earnings per share.

Estimation of fair value

 

The fair value of marketable securities, mutual funds and US Treasury Bills is calculated using the market approach using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. The quoted marked price used for financial assets held by the Group is the current bid price. These instruments are included in level 1.

 

The Group’s financial liabilities, which were not traded in an active market, were determined using valuation techniques that maximize the use of available market information, and thus rely as little as possible on specific estimates of the entity specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instruments are included in level 2.

 

If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instruments are included in level 3.

 

The Group’s policy is to recognize transfers between different categories of the fair value hierarchy at the time they occur or when there are changes in the circumstances that cause the transfer. There were no transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy. There were no changes in economic or business circumstances affecting fair value.

 

Financial instruments not measured at fair value

 

The financial instruments not measured at fair value include cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, other accounts receivable, trade payables and other debts, borrowings, financed payments and convertible notes.

 

The carrying value of financial instruments not measured at fair value does not differ significantly from their fair value, except for borrowings (Note 5.9).

 

Management estimates that the carrying value of the financial instruments measured at amortized cost approximates their fair value.

Currency risk

 

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rate. Currency on foreign exchange risk arises when the Group enters into transactions denominated in a currency other than its functional currency.

 

The table below sets forth our net exposure to currency risk as of March 31, 2025:

 

Net foreign currency position

  03/31/2025  
Amount expressed in US$     18,745,129  

 

Considering only this net currency exposure as of March 31, 2025 if an US Dollar revaluation or depreciation in relation to other foreign currencies with the remaining variables remaining constant, would have a positive or a negative impact on comprehensive income as a result of foreign exchange gains or losses. We estimate that a devaluation or an appreciation of the US Dollar other currencies of 10% during the period ended March 31, 2025 would have resulted in a net pre-tax loss or gain of approximately $1.9 million.

18. EVENTS OCCURRING AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD.

 

On June 18, 2025, we enter into an amendment to the Secured Notes. The material changes to the economic terms of the Notes are as follows:

 

Secured Guaranteed Notes

 

The aggregate principal amount increases from $26,437,485 to $29,081,233, with an annual interest rate of 19%, of which 14% is payable in cash and 5% in kind. The Company is required to make scheduled amortization payments of $1,000,000 on the last business day of each calendar month and may only be repurchased in full. If the Company repurchases them on or before August 5, 2025, a 5% prepayment penalty applies; if repurchased after that date, the penalty increases to 10%.

 

Secured Convertible Guaranteed Notes

 

The aggregate principal amount increases from $61,652,927 to $67,868,227, and the maturity date is extended to August 31, 2027. The notes carry an annual interest rate of 15%, of which 5% is payable in cash and 10% in kind. Noteholders have the option to convert the outstanding principal amount of their Convertible Notes into common shares of the Company at a reduced strike price of $6 per share. However, except in the event of a Change of Control (as defined in the Convertible Note Purchase Agreement), conversion rights cannot be exercised before September 30, 2025. If the Company raises more than $10,000,000 in common equity, the strike price resets to the lesser of (1) the then-applicable strike price or (2) the price per share at which the new shares are issued (or the weighted average price per share, if issued at varying prices). The Company may repurchase the Convertible Notes voluntarily. If repurchased on or before August 31, 2025, a 5% prepayment penalty applies; if repurchased during September 2025, the penalty increases to 7%. For repurchases after October 1, 2025, the Company is required to pay the Equity Option Fee, as defined in the Convertible Note Purchase Agreement.

 

The Company’s financial covenants in both Secured Notes are being amended to reset the Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio and Interest Coverage Ratio to the following:

 

Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio

Fiscal Quarters ended March 31, 2025 and June 30, 2025: 5.00x

Fiscal Quarters ended September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2025: 4.33x

Fiscal Quarters ended March 31, 2026 through the Maturity Date: 3.75x

 

Interest Coverage Ratio

Fiscal Quarter ended March 31, 2025 and June 30, 2025: 1.50x

Fiscal Quarters ended September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2025: 1.75x

Fiscal Quarters ended March 31, 2026 through the Maturity Date: 2.00x

 

Subsequent to March 31, 2025, there have been no other situations or circumstances that may require significant adjustments or further disclosure in these consolidated financial statements that were not mentioned above.
