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, 2021, 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 as of June 30, 2021.
Authorization for the issue of the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements
These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group as of December 31, 2021, June 30, 2021 and for the six-month periods ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 were authorized by the Board of Directors of Bioceres Crop Solutions Corp. on February 25, 2022.
Basis of measurement
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared using:
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”).
F-12
BIOCERES CROP SOLUTIONS CORP.
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Amounts in US Dollars, except otherwise indicated)
IAS 29 “Financial reporting in hyperinflationary economies” requires that the financial statements of an entity whose functional currency is the currency of a hyperinflationary economy, whether these are based on the historical cost method or the current cost method, be stated in terms of the measuring unit current at the closing date of the reporting period. For such purpose, the inflation produced since the acquisition date or the revaluation date, as applicable, must be computed in non-monetary items. The standard details a series of factors to be considered for concluding whether an economy is hyperinflationary, including, but not limited to, a cumulative inflation rate over a three-year period that approaches or exceeds 100%. Inflation accumulated in three years, as of 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. Consequently, the Group has applied IAS 29 to these financial statements.
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 index as of December 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020 was 385.8826 and 321.9738, respectively.
The index as of December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021 was 582.4575 and 483.6049, respectively.
The comparative figures in these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements presented in a stable currency are not adjusted for subsequent changes in the price levels or exchange rates.
b) | Presentation currency |
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group are presented in US Dollars, which is the presentation currency.
c) | Foreign currency |
Transactions entered into by Group entities in a currency other than their functional currency are recorded at the relevant exchange rates as of the date upon which such transactions occur. Foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the prevailing exchanges rates as of the final day of each reporting period. Exchange differences arising from the retranslation of unsettled monetary assets and liabilities are recognized immediately in profit or loss, except for foreign currency borrowings qualifying as a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation for which exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the foreign exchange reserve along with the exchange differences arising from the retranslation of the foreign operation. Upon the disposal of a foreign operation, the cumulative exchange differences recognized in the foreign exchange reserve relating to such operation up to the date of disposal are transferred to the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income as part of the gain or loss recognized upon such disposal.

Changes in accounting policies
The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those adopted for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2021.
Revisions to previously issued unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of cash flows
The Group has revised the figures presented in our unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of cash flows as of December 31, 2020. Based on their nature, we changed certain amounts previously shown as short-term investments to cash equivalents and the reporting of the purchases of own shares from investment activities to financing activities. The impact of these changes was considered non-material and is as follows:
3. NEW STANDARDS, AMENDMENTS AND INTERPRETATIONS ISSUED BY THE IASB
Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16 - Interest Rate Benchmark Reform (Phase 2)
The Phase 2 amendments, Interest Rate Benchmark Reform—Phase 2, address issues that might affect financial reporting during the reform of an interest rate benchmark, including the effects of changes to contractual cash flows or hedging relationships arising from the replacement of an interest rate benchmark with an alternative benchmark rate (replacement issues). In 2019, the Board issued its initial amendments in Phase 1 of the project.
The amendments are related to changes in the basis for determining contractual cash flows of financial assets, financial liabilities and lease liabilities; hedge accounting; and disclosures. They apply only to changes required by the interest rate benchmark reform to financial instruments and hedging relationships. The amendments are effective for financial years beginning on or after January 1, 2021. Earlier application is permitted.

Covid-19-Related Rent Concessions beyond 30 June 2021
The International Accounting Standards Board extended by one year the application period of the practical expedient in IFRS 16 Leases to help lessees accounting for covid-19-related rent concessions.
In response to calls from stakeholders and because the covid-19 pandemic is still at its height, the Board has extended the relief by one year to cover rent concessions that reduce only lease payments due on or before 30 June 2022.
The original amendment permitted lessees, as a practical expedient, not to assess whether particular rent concessions occurring as a direct consequence of the covid-19 pandemic are lease modifications and, instead, to account for those rent concessions as if they were not lease modifications.
The amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 April 2021.
b) The following new standards are not yet adopted by the Group.
Initial Application of IFRS 17 and IFRS 9 - Comparative Information
The amendment is a transition option relating to comparative information about financial assets presented on initial application of IFRS 17. The amendment is aimed at helping entities to avoid temporary accounting mismatches between financial assets and insurance contract liabilities.
IFRS 17 incorporating the amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023. It is not expected to have material impact on the Group.
4. IMPACT OF COVID-19
The Group's operations, which involve agricultural production and commercialization activities, have been mostly exempted from the disruptions caused by COVID-19. Consequently, our financial condition, liquidity position and results of operations have not been materially impacted as we have been allowed to continue with our operations.
The eventual scope of COVID-19 outbreak and its impact on the countries and global economy are unknown, with governments being able to implement stricter containment measures, which are not predictable in this instance. It cannot be reasonably quantified to what extent COVID-19 will affect the Group’s business and the results of its operations in the future if this situation is prolonged. The Board of Directors and senior management are closely monitoring the situation and taking all necessary measures at their disposal to protect human life and the Group's operations and financial condition.

5. SEASONALITY
The Group revenues fluctuate depending on the timing of orders from our distributors and customers and on prevailing seed market prices, which influence the purchase decisions of growers, the end-users of seed and integrated products, crop protection products and crop nutrition products. Given the cyclicality of crop planting and harvesting and South America’s planting and growing seasons, which vary from year to year, our business is highly seasonal. This results in substantial fluctuations in quarterly sales and profitability. Generally, the Group sales are concentrated in the third and fourth quarters of each calendar year, when demand for seed and integrated products, crop protection products and crop nutrition products increases as South American growers begin planting their fields. Regarding the seed and integrated products business, the Group contracts with growers and seed suppliers based upon anticipated market demand that we forecast. Generally, in the seed and integrated products business we stock the seed during the harvest season and ship from inventory throughout the year, with the objective of selling most of the inventory from the current year’s harvest before the next year’s, with crop protection and crop nutrition business following a cycle similar to the seed cycle. The impact of seasonality and the resulting fluctuations in quarterly results may be lessened as we achieve our international expansion plans for the seed and integrated products business in geographies with complementary seasons and climates.

Revaluation of property, plant and equipment
At a minimum, the Group updates its assessment of the fair value of its land and buildings at the end of each reporting year (after the revaluation policy was adopted), considering the most recent independent valuations and market data. As of December 31, 2021, the Group reviewed these valuations in order to determine the variations between the fair values and their book value, taking into consideration the valuations made in June 2021. Management determined the property, plant and equipment’s value within a range of reasonable fair value estimates. All resulting fair value estimates for land and buildings are classified as Level 3 and are consistent with the methodology disclosed in the annual financial statements.

Diluted profit (loss) attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent |
| 0.0808 | 0.0166 | 0.1014 |
| (0.1663) |
For the six-month period ended December 31, 2020 diluted EPS was the same as basic EPS as the effect of potential ordinary shares would be antidilutive.
Diluted earnings per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of shares outstanding to assume conversion of all dilutive potential shares. The Group has two categories of dilutive potential shares, share-based incentives, and Convertible notes.
The stock options were included in the diluted EPS calculation for the year ended December 31, 2021 only for the tranches in which the average market price of ordinary shares during the periods was higher than the assumed proceeds per option. See note 17.
Convertible notes outstanding were not included in the diluted EPS calculations for the three-and-six month periods ended December 31, 2021 because its interest (net of tax and other changes in income or expense) per ordinary share obtainable on conversion exceeds basic earnings per share.
10. INFORMATION ABOUT UNAUDITED INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED COMPONENTS OF EQUITY

Estimation of fair value
The fair value of marketable securities, mutual funds and US Treasury Bills is calculated using the market approach, which use 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.

BIOCERES CROP SOLUTIONS CORP.
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Amounts in US Dollars, except otherwise indicated)
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. 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 6.11).
Management estimates that the carrying value of the financial instruments measured at amortized cost approximates their fair value.

17. SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS
a)Incentive payments based on options
Options can be exercised on a cashless basis at their volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the ordinary shares during a twenty-day period to the date of exercise.
The fair value of the stock options at the grant date was estimated using the “Black-Scholes” model, considering the terms and conditions under which the options on shares were granted and adjusted to consider the possible dilutive effect of the future exercise of options.
There are no market-related performance conditions or non-vesting conditions that should be considered for determining the fair value of options.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Amounts in US Dollars, except otherwise indicated)
The Group estimates that 100% of the stock options will be exercised, 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.
The following table shows the weighted average amount and exercise price and the movements of the stock options of executives and directors of the Group during the six-month periods ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.
(*)Exercise price of options effective at the end of the period was calculated using weighted average.
The charge of the plans based on options recognized during the period was $0.6 million.
b) | Annual compensation - Bonus |
Bonus in Cash. As well as fiscal year ended June 30, 2020, for the Bonus in Cash 2021, all the beneficiaries decided to receive the bonus in ordinary shares. The charge for the six-month period ended December 31, 2021 in consideration of the annual compensation bonus for objectives achieved in the year ended June 30, 2021 amounted to $0.1 million.
Bonus in Kind. The charge for the six-month period ended December 31, 2021 in consideration of the annual compensation bonus for objectives achieved in the year ended June 30, 2021 amounted to $0.15 million.
The number of shares that can be awarded under each bonus will be determined by using a 20-day volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the Company’s ordinary shares, starting with the day on which the relevant financial and operational objectives are met by the Company and the bonus is granted.
50% of bonus vests immediately if the financial and operational objectives are achieved as of such date, and the remaining 50% vests in the subsequent 12-months, upon meeting of the financial and operational objectives.
