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 nine-month period ended March 31, 2022, 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 March 31, 2022, June 30, 2021 and for the nine-month periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 were authorized by the Board of Directors of Bioceres Crop Solutions Corp. on May 27, 2022.

 

Basis of measurement

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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”).

 

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%. The accumulated inflation 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 was considered as hyperinflationary since July 1, 2018. Consequently, the Group has applied IAS 29 to these financial statements.

BIOCERES CROP SOLUTIONS CORP.

 

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Amounts in US Dollars, except otherwise indicated)

 

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, listed 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 March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2020 was 435.8657 and 321.9738, respectively.

 

The index as of March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2021 was 676.0566 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.

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

 

a) The following new standards became applicable for the current reporting period and adopted by the Group. These amendments did not have a material impact on the Group.

 

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 covid-19 remains a pandemic, 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, rather, 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.

(Amounts in US Dollars, except otherwise indicated)

 

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 pandemic 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 pandemic 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

 

The Group updates its assessment of the fair value of its land and buildings, at least, at the end of each reporting year (after the revaluation policy was adopted), considering the most recent independent valuations and market data. As of March 31, 2022, 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.

10.     INFORMATION ABOUT UNAUDITED INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED COMPONENTS OF EQUITY

 

Share capital

 

As of March 31, 2022, we had (i) 100,000,000 ordinary shares ($0.0001 par value) authorized, (ii) 41,228,016 ordinary shares issued and outstanding, (iii) 1,000,000 preferred shares ($0.0001 par value) authorized, (iv) no preferred shares issued and outstanding, (v) $49.1 million of Convertible notes (see Note 19), and (vi) 1,908,363 ordinary shares reserved for our equity compensation plans.

 

Holders of the ordinary shares are entitled to one vote for each ordinary share.

 

Non-controlling interests

 

On August 2, 2021, we acquired an incremental ownership of Insumos Agróquimicos S.A. (“Insuagro”). Consideration of payment of the 2,467,990 shares acquired was $0.7 million in cash as a Fixed Price. Furthermore, the Fixed Price may be increased up to 3.5x Adjusted EBITDA per share to be measured in each annual reporting period. The Group has recognized in equity the difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests were incorporated and the fair value of the consideration paid.

 

As of today, we own 13,489,990 shares of Insuagro, which represent 61.32% of the share capital and 61.22% of the votes.

Estimation of fair value

The quoted marked price used for financial assets held by the Group is the current bid price. These instruments are included in level 1.

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.

Under the terms of the transaction, each share of MBI common stock will be exchanged at closing for ordinary shares of Bioceres at a fixed ratio of 0.088.

 

Marrone is a growth-oriented agricultural company leading the movement to environmentally sustainable farming practices through the discovery, development and sale of innovative biological products for crop protection, crop health and crop nutrition. The portfolio of 18 products helps customers operate more sustainably while increasing their return on investment. The company’s commercial products are sold globally and supported by a robust portfolio of more than 500 issued and pending patents. End markets include row crops; fruits and vegetables; trees, nuts and vines; and greenhouse production. Marrone’s research and development program uses proprietary technologies to isolate and screen naturally occurring microorganisms and plant extracts to create new, environmentally sound solutions in agriculture.

 

The combined company will have a diverse customer base, product portfolio and geographic reach across a wide range of crops, positioned to serve the massive market opportunity emerging from the bio-reduction and replacement of chemical ag inputs.

 

The consummation of the merger is subject to certain closing conditions, including (i) the approval of the Marrone’s stockholders; (ii) the expiration or termination of all waiting periods under the Hart-Scott Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 and receipt of any other specified merger control consents or clearances, (iii) the effectiveness of the registration statement to be filed by Bioceres with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, (iv) the approval for listing on Nasdaq of Bioceres’s ordinary shares to be issued, (v) the absence of any judgment or law issued by any governmental entity enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the merger, and (vi) other customary conditions specified in the merger agreement.

 

In connection with the merger, and contingent upon its closing, Bioceres has agreed to terms for a capital commitment with a principal amount up to $45 million in the form of a convertible loan. The loan will mature four years after closing and accrue interest at an annual rate of 9%, of which 5% will be payable in cash and 4% in-kind. At any time up to maturity the lenders will have the option to convert the loan into common shares of Bioceres at a strike price of $18 per share.
