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

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

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 | |||

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.

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.

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.
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.

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.
