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, 2024. 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 31, 2025.

 

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.

 

7

 

 

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 2024.

 

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. The Company confirms the financial support of its main shareholders for a minimum period of twelve months from the date of these financial statements.

 

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 2024. 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 16: Income tax.

 

Note 3.2. New and amended IFRS Standards that are effective for the current period.

 

a)The following new standards, amendments and interpretations became applicable for the current reporting period and adopted by the Group

 

- Amendments to IFRS 16- Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback.

 

- Amendments to IAS 1 – Non- current liabilities with covenants.

 

- Amendments to IAS 7- Statement of Cash Flows & to IFRS 7- Financial Instruments: Disclosures

 

These new standards and amendments did not have any material impact on the Group.

 

b)The following new standards and amendments are not yet adopted by the Group.

 

- IFRS 19 - Simplifying disclosure requirements for certain subsidiary financial statements. This standard specifies the disclosure requirements that an entity is permitted to apply instead of the disclosure requirements in other IFRS Accounting Standards. It is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027.

 

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

 

- IFRS 18 – Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements. This standard sets out requirements for the presentation and disclosure of information in general purpose financial statements to help ensure they provide relevant information that faithfully represents an entity’s assets, liabilities, equity, income and expenses. It is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027.

 

Amendments to IAS 21- The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates Titled Lack of Exchangeability. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2025.

 

- IFRS 9 and IFRS 7- Classification and measurement of financial instruments. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026.

 

The Group is currently analyzing the potential impact of these new standards on our financial statements.

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.

 

For the three-months ending:  September 30, 2024   September 30, 2023 
Revenue (1)   1,557,002    1,740,050 
Cost of sales (2)   (1,542,229)   (1,519,642)

 

(1)Includes impact of IAS 29 for $10,632 increase in revenues and $5,986 decrease in revenues for the period ended on September 30 2024 and 2023, respectively.
(2)Includes impact of IAS 29 for $42,972 increase costs of sales and $136,173 increase in cost of sales for the period ended on September 30 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

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

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, 2024 and from unaudited financial statements for the period of July 1, 2024 through September 30, 2024 respectively.

 

The Company has reclassified some expenses in the notes in the comparative periods to improve the presentation and understanding of the financial information. Those reclasses do not impact on the previously reported total comprehensive results, financial position or cash flows.

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.

 

On September 18, 2024, the Board of Directors approved the 2024 Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), making some minor modifications to the previous share-based compensation plan. Subsequently, on December 12, 2024, the Board approved the possibility of making additional grants under the Plan and revised certain terms. These changes were designed to attract, retain, and motivate key executives while promoting sustained growth and enhancing shareholder value.

 

As of September 30, 2024, Moolec had the following shared-based payment arrangements for executives and senior management:

 

  Group 1 granted up to 579,078 underlying ordinary shares (options). 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 (options). The options have an exercise price of $8.00 and expire in December 2030.

 

12

 

 

  Group 3 granted up to 833,333 underlying ordinary shares (options). The options have an exercise price of $4.25 and expire between January 2033 and March 2034.

 

Also, for the period ended September 30, 2024 RSU awards were accrued to some employees and members of the executive team amounting to the equivalent of $53,234 (and $86,335 for the period ended September 2023). The expense is recognized as an employee benefit expense, with a corresponding increase in equity (or liability, depending on the characteristics of the award)

 

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

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, 2024.

Note 24. 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:
