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.

  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

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.

If the public warrants are called for redemption for cash, management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise the public warrants to do so on a “cashless basis”. The private warrants will be treated identical to the public warrants.

 

Considering that the fair value as of June 30, 2024, and 2023, is $0.0500 and $0.0799 per ordinary share respectively, the valuation of warrants is the following:

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.

  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.

  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.
