Negative working capital

 

As of September 30, 2023, the Group has a negative working capital of $9,316,239 generated mainly by reorganization expenses pending to be paid as well as account payables and financial debt balances that are higher than the account receivables. However, as part of the continuous efforts of management to strengthen the financial situation of the Group, as of October 15, 2023, Moolec Science has entered into an agreement to issue a convertible note due 2026 to Grupo Insud (“Insud”). As a consequence of the cash inflow related to the convertible note, the Group concludes it will, for the next 12 months from the issuance of these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements, be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations. See note 23: Events after the reporting period.

 

Note 2. Accounting standards and basis of preparation

 

Note 2.1. Basis of Presentation 

 

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with the International Accounting Standard (“IAS ”) IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, as issued by International Accounting Standard Board (“IASB”) and should be read in conjunction with the Group’s last annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended June 30, 2023. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information required for a complete set of IFRS financial statements. However, selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in the Group’s financial position and performance since the last annual consolidated financial statements.

 

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group were authorized by the Board of Directors of Moolec Science SA in January 22, 2024.

 

Note 2.2. Use of estimates and judgements

 

The preparation of the unaudited interim condensed 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 unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for all periods presented. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis.

 

The significant judgements made by management in applying the Group’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 30 June 2023.

 

Note 2.3. Going concern

 

Management has evaluated whether there are conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern after the accompanying interim condensed consolidated Financial Statements are issued. The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Group concludes it will, for the next 12 months from the issuance of these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements, be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations.

 

Note 3. Summary of significant accounting policies

 

The accounting policies applied in these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are the same as those applied in the Group’s consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 30 June 2023. The policy for recognizing and measuring income taxes in the interim periods is consistent with that applied in the previous interim period and is described in Note 15: Income tax.

These amendments are not expected to have a material impact on the Group.

 

Note 3.3. Segment reporting

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

As required by IFRS 8 Operating Segments, below are presented applicable entity-wide disclosures related to Moolec Science’s revenues.

 

Revenues breakdown:

 

The Company’s revenues arise from operations in Argentina. During the periods covered by these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements the Company had no revenues from customers attributed to the entity’s country of domicile.

Total non-current assets other than financial instruments		$	10,184,310			$	9,956,426

 

Note 4. 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 the same as those described in the last annual financial statements.

 

Note 5. Comparative Information

 

The information disclosed for comparative purposes arises from the consolidated financial statements of Moolec as of June 30, 2023 and from unaudited financial information and for the period of July 1, 2022 through September 30, 2022, respectively.

 

The exchange of shares related to the capital Reorganization contemplated by the business combination agreement, explained in Note 1 of the Group’s last annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended June 30, 2023, has been given a retrospective effect in the share capital of the statement of changes in equity.

Share Purchase Agreement

 

On 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.

 

As of September 30, 2023, 3,600 shares (equivalent to $10,647) were issued under the Share Purchase Agreement.

 

 

Note 12. Share based payment

 

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

 

As of September 30, 2023, Moolec had the following shared-based payment arrangements:

 

Share option plan 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 700,000 underlying ordinary shares. The options have an exercise price of $4.25. 500,000 expire in January 2033 and the other 200,000 in March 2023.

 

The fair value is defined as the actuarial expected value of the future benefits under the Plan calculated at the date in which benefits are granted and it is estimated using the option valuation method known as ‘binomial trees’. The estimate considers the effects of rotation, the vesting schedule and the possible dilutive effect of the future exercise of options.

 

Factor		Group 1				Group 2				Group 3
Fair value of shares		$	1.00			$	1.00			$	2.97
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		$	9.11			$	7.25			$	2.04

 

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.

 

The following table shows the amount and exercise price and the movements of the stock options of executives and managers of the Group for the period ended September 30, 2023.

  

		September 30, 2023
		Group 1								Group 2								Group 3
		Number of options				Exercise price				Number of options				Exercise price				Number of options				Exercise price
At the beginning			325,826			$	1.52				206,598			$	8.00				700,000			$	4.25

Note 14. Warrants liabilities

 

Each of the Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 11,110,000 Ordinary Shares are exercisable to purchase one Ordinary Share and only whole warrants are exercisable. The exercise price of the Warrants is $11,50 per share. A Warrant may be exercised only during the period commencing on the date of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement and terminating on the earlier to occur of: the date that is five (5) years after the date on which the Business Combination is completed or the liquidation of the Company. Redemptions of warrants for cash once the public warrants become exercisable, may be redeemed (i) in whole and not in part, (ii) at a price of $0,01 per warrant, (iii) upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each warrant holder, and (iv) if, and only if, the reported last sale price of the Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $18,00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending three business days before sending the notice of redemption to each warrant holder. 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 September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023, is $0.0351 and $0.0799 per Ordinary Share respectively, the valuation of warrants is the following:

 

		As of September 30, 2023				As of June 30, 2023
At the beginning of the period		$	887,689			$	-
Issued by the SPAC			-				1,666,500

At the end of the period		$	389,961			$	887,689

 

 

Note 15. Income Tax

 

Income tax recognized through profit or loss

 

Income tax expense is recognized at an amount determined by multiplying the profit (loss) before tax for the interim reporting period by management’s best estimate of the weighted-average annual income tax rate expected for the full financial year, adjusted for the tax effect of certain items recognized in full in the interim period. As such, the effective tax rate in the condensed consolidated interim financial statements may differ from management’s estimate of the effective tax rate for the annual financial statements.

 

The Group’s consolidated loss before income tax for the three months ended September 30, 2023 amounts to $1,806,294 (loss for the three months ended September 30, 2022 $721,426). The income tax benefit for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was $215,291 (for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was a loss amounted to $137,071, for which no deferred tax assets have been recognized).

 

The Group consolidated effective tax rate with respect to continuing operations for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was 12%.

 

The tax rate used for 2023 represents the tax rate of 15% on the taxable income payable by the Group entities in Luxembourg, in accordance with the tax laws of this jurisdiction (in 2022: the tax rate was 19% in the UK). Taxation for other jurisdictions is calculated at the rates prevailing in the respective jurisdiction.

Note 22. Financial instruments

 

Accounting classification and fair value

 

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

 

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

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

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

 

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

 

Recurring measurements		Note		As of September 30, 2023				As of June 30, 2023
Financial Assets

(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 period-end (level 1).

 

Note 23. Events after the reporting period

 

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

 

As of October 15, 2023, the Company has entered into an agreement to issue a convertible note due 2026 to Grupo Insud (“Insud”) amount of approximately $21 million (the “Insud Convertible Note”) with a strike price of US $6.00 per share. The Insud Convertible Note will be issued against a cash payment of US $10 million and in-kind contributions to be made by Insud to Moolec Science. In-kind contributions include credits to access Insud’s state-of-the-art industrial capabilities, operational services, and the incorporation of joint agreement participation, started with the Company in the past. At maturity, Moolec Science will hold the option to deliver ordinary shares, cash, or a combination of cash and ordinary shares.

 

The agreement signed with Insud, follows Moolec Science’s previous announcement that it entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with Bioceres Crop Solutions “BIOX”) that secures the supply of approximately 15,000 tons of HB4® soybeans (the “BIOX Supply Agreement”) that may be upsized for a similar volume. The BIOX Supply Agreement will be paid through the issuance of a convertible note (the “BIOX Convertible Note” and together with the Insud Convertible Note, the “Convertible Notes”) on arms-length terms to the Insud Convertible Note.

 

Together, the Convertible Notes total approximately US $30 million of cash and in-kind contributions that include soybean inventories, operational services, and the acquisition of joint arrangement participation.
