Note
1. General information
Moolec Science SA (“the Company” or “Moolec Science”)
is a public limited liability company (société anonyme) incorporated under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg on
May 23, 2022 (“date of incorporation”), created to develop affordable alternative proteins using molecular farming technology.
The Company is registered with the Luxembourg Trade and Companies’ Register (Registre de Commerce et des Sociétés,
Luxembourg) under number B268440. Its registered address is 17, Boulevard F.W. Raiffeisen, L-2411 Luxembourg, Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.
Company
Reorganization
On
December 30, 2022 (the “Closing Date”), the Company consummated the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination
Agreement dated as of June 14, 2022, by and among LightJump Acquisition Corporation (“LightJump” or “SPAC”, a
Delaware corporation), Moolec Science Limited (“Moolec”, a private limited company incorporated under the laws of England
and Wales), the Company, and Moolec Acquisition, Inc. (“Merger Sub”, a Delaware corporation) (referred together with Moolec
Science SA as “the Group”), as amended by the Business Combination Agreement dated as of November 18, 2022. Pursuant to the
Business Combination Agreement and related agreements:
| ● | all
the issued Moolec Ordinary Shares held by Moolec Shareholders were transferred and contributed
in kind to the Company, and were issued, in accordance with the Exchange Ratio (except that
the Ordinary Shares to be were reduced by the number of Ordinary Shares already held by Moolec
Shareholders immediately prior to the transactions contemplated in the Business Combination
Agreement (“Exchange”), being a total of 32,500,000 Ordinary Shares; |
| ● | each
Moolec SAFE Holder contributed all of its rights and obligations under each Original SAFE
to the Company in consideration for the issuance by the Company of a simple agreement for
future equity on substantially identical terms (mutatis mutandis) with such adjustments as
required under Luxembourg law; |
| ● | each
Moolec Shareholder ceased to be the beneficial holder of such Moolec Ordinary Shares and
subject to the submission of all filings required under Law (including any filings required
to pay stamp duties), the Company was recorded as the registered holder of all Ordinary Shares
so exchanged and transferred and is the legal and beneficial owner thereof; |
| ● | immediately
prior to the Merger but after the Exchange, each Moolec SAFE Holder subscribed for, received
and became holder of Ordinary Shares, in accordance with the respective Moolec SAFE, which
included 262,260 Ordinary Shares; and |
| ● | SPAC
caused the Certificate of Merger to be executed, acknowledged and filed with the Secretary
of State of the State of Delaware in accordance with the applicable provisions of the DGCL
in order to effectuate the Merger. The Merger became effective on December 30, 2022. |
At
the Merger and without any further action on the part of SPAC, Merger Sub, the Company or Moolec or the holders thereunder:
| ● | each
SPAC Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger, excluding those
that had been redeemed subject to any redemption rights, were exchanged with the Company,
against the issue by the Company of new Ordinary Shares, under the authorized share capital
of the Company and subscribed by the contributing holders of SPAC Common Stock for one validly
issued and fully paid Ordinary Share, delivered by the Company; |
| ● | as
a result of the Merger, all SPAC Common Stock ceased to be outstanding, was canceled and
ceased to exist; |
| ● | each
share of common stock, par value $0.01 of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior
to the Merger Effective Time was converted and exchanged for one (1) validly issued, fully
paid and nonassessable ordinary share, par value $0.01 per share of the Company; and |
| ● | each
SPAC Warrant that was outstanding immediately prior to the Merger, pursuant to the SPAC Warrant
Agreement, ceased to represent a right to acquire one SPAC Common Stock and was converted
in accordance with the terms of such SPAC Warrant Agreement, at the Merger, into a right
to acquire one Ordinary Share of the Company on substantially the same terms as were in effect
immediately prior to the Time under the terms of the SPAC Warrant Agreement. |
Following
the Merger:
| ● | Moolec’s
CFO was freely allotted the shares to satisfy the requirements under the CFO Consulting Agreement. |
Prior
to the Closing, on December 27, 2022, in connection with the vote to approve the adoption of the Business Combination Agreement at LightJump’s
special meeting of stockholders, certain public holders of SPAC Common Stock exercised their right to redeem 2,572,848 shares of SPAC
Common Stock for cash at a redemption price of approximately $10.23 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of approximately $26.3
million.
Accordingly,
$1,988,975 remained in the Trust Account, for the benefit of the Company, after considering the redemption amount to be paid to the redeeming
public holders of SPAC Common Stock. At Closing, EarlyBirdCapital Inc.(“EarlyBird”, the SPAC underwriter) and the Company
disagreed on the amount of EarlyBird Cash Fees due to EarlyBird in connection with the EarlyBird Amendment. Even though the trust effectively
was integrated in the Company bank account at Closing, as a result of such dispute, EarlyBird had not provided its required consent to
Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (“Continental”, the Company’s transfer agent and warrant agent) for
the transfer of the outstanding funds held in the Trust Account and the funds had to be returned to Continental until the dispute was
settled. This proceeding was resolved by a settlement between the Company and EarlyBird dated March 15, 2023. Pursuant to the settlement
agreement, the Company instructed Continental to transfer $1.1 million in cash from the Trust Account to EarlyBird.
Additionally,
pursuant to the Backstop Agreement, the Sponsor exercised the right to elect to concede Sponsor shares instead of contributing the requisite
cash amount under the Backstop Agreement by conceding a total of 200,276 Sponsor shares of SPAC Common Stock to each of Union Group Ventures
Limited.(“UGVL”) and THEO I SCSp.(“Theo”). UGVL and Theo each contributed $4,005,520 to the Company pursuant
to the terms of the Backstop Agreement and in turn the Company issued 400,552 Ordinary Shares to each of UGVL and Theo.
As
a result of the Exchange and following the consummation of the Transaction, Moolec and SPAC had become direct wholly-owned subsidiaries
of the Company and Moolec shareholders and SPAC shareholders became holders of issued Company Ordinary Shares of Moolec Science S.A.
In
accordance with IFRS 2, for the excess of the fair value of shares deemed to have been issued by Moolec over the fair value of LightJump’s
identifiable net assets at the date of the Company Reorganization, the Company recognized $ 42,705,061 as listing costs included in line
item “Share based payment cost of listing shares” as an expense in the Statements of Operations, being a non-cash item.
Negative
working capital
As
of March 31, 2023, the Company has a negative working capital of $ 1,236,793 generated mainly by reorganization expenses pending to be
paid. The board is evaluating alternatives to reverse this situation and does not foresee issues in meeting its short-term obligations.
(see note 19).

included in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are measured using the currency of the primary economic
market in which the Company operates (“the functional currency”). These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial
statements are presented in US Dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency.
2.4.
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 condensed consolidated
financial statements for all periods presented.
Estimates
and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis.
2.5.
Financial risk management
The
Group’s activities are subject to several financial risks: market risk (including the exchange rate risk, the interest rate risk
and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.
No
significant changes have arisen in risk management policies as compared to policies included in the consolidated financial statements
as of June 30, 2022.
Note
3. Significant accounting policies
The
accounting policies applied in these Interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those used in the Annual
consolidated financial statements of Moolec since incorporation on August 21, 2020 and have been applied consistently by the Group for
last fiscal year ended on June 30, 2022.
As
of the date of publication of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements there are no significant changes, new standards,
amendments and interpretations of IFRS accounting policies, with exception of:
Warrants
As
part of the reorganization, the Group incorporated public warrants (“Public warrants”).
The
warrants are an equity instrument only if (a) the instrument includes no contractual obligation to deliver cash or another financial
asset to another entity and (b) if the instrument will or may be settled in the issuer’s own equity instruments, it is either a
non-derivative that includes no contractual obligation for the issuer to deliver a variable number of its own equity instruments; or
a derivative that will be settled only by the issuer exchanging a fixed amount of cash or another financial asset for a fixed number
of its own equity instruments (“fixed-for-fixed’ condition”).
Public
warrants were classified as financial liability as they do not comply with the fixed-for-fixed condition. These instruments are measured
at Level 1 fair value based on its quoted price.
Note
4. Comparative Information
The
information as of June 30, 2022 and for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2022 disclosed for comparative purposes arises from the
consolidated financial statements of Moolec as of those dates.
The
exchange of shares related to the Capital Reorganization contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, explained in Note 1, has
been given a retrospective effect in the share capital of the statement of changes in equity and in Net loss per share purposes in Note
15.
Note
5. Subsidiaries
Where
the Company holds a controlling interest in an entity, such entity is classified as a subsidiary. The Company exercises control over
such an entity if all three of the following elements are present: (i) the Company has the power to direct or cause the direction of
the management and policies of the entity, (ii) the Company is exposed to the variable returns of such entity; and (iii) the Company
has power to affect the variability of such returns. Control is reassessed whenever facts and circumstances indicate that there may be
a change in any of these elements of control.
The
subsidiary of the Company, of which its financial results have been included in the Consolidated Financial Statements, and holds a majority
share of the voting rights is as follows:

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.

17. Share based payment
As
of March 31, 2023, Moolec had the following shared-based payment arrangements:
Share
option plan for executives and senior management: Group 1 granted up to 909,000 underlying ordinary shares. The options have an exercise
price of £0.74 and expire in December 2030 (except one case in June 2031). Group 2 granted up to 544,000 underlying ordinary shares.
The options have an exercise price of the higher of £0.74 or the valuation of a Share achieved at the next equity funding round
following the date of this Agreement, subject to a 20% Discount and expires in December 2030.
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.

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.

18. Simple Agreement for Future Equity (“SAFE”)
The
Company signed two simple agreements for future equity (referred to as “SAFE” or “SAFEs” in plural), in exchange
for the payment by certain investors of the amounts detailed below on or about December 28, 2021. Both SAFEs were signed with two different
investors and for the following amounts:
One
SAFE was signed with THEO 1 SCSp for the amount of $ 1,500,000, from which $ 1,000,000 was received on January 5, 2022 and $ 500,000
were received on June 30, 2022.
The
other SAFE was signed with SERENITY TRADERS LDT. for the amount of $ 500,000, fully received on January 6, 2022.
Both
SAFEs give the investors, in exchange for the payment of the mentioned amounts, the right to a variable number of shares on the Company’s
Share Capital subject to the occurrence of a qualified event or a twelve months maturity, whatever happens before, and in the case
of a qualified event, specifically the shares of the series of equity securities issued to the investors investing new money in the Company
in connection with the closing. These qualified events are defined as Equity Financing of not less than $20,000,000, Change of
Control, a Direct Listing, an Initial Public Offering or a De-SPAC Transaction.
As
of December 31, 2022, the De-SPAC transaction occurred on December 30, 2022 and defined as a qualified event pursuant the agreement,
converted the SAFE in 262,260 shares of the Company at a purchase price on $ 12.10 for a total of $ 3,173,346.
The
following table presents the changes in Level 3 financial instruments as of March 31, 2023:

19. Events after the reporting period
Management
has considered subsequent events through July 10, 2023, which was the date in which these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial
statements were issued.
ValoraSoy
acquisition
On
April 24, 2023 (the “Closing Date”), Moolec Science SA (the “Company”) completed the acquisition of ValoraSoy
S.A. (“ValoraSoy”) from the sellers in accordance with the share purchase agreement (“ValoraSoy SPA”) by and
among the Company and the sellers (the “ValoraSoy Acquisition”). As a result of the ValoraSoy Acquisition, the Company acquired
all of the issued and outstanding equity securities of ValoraSoy from the sellers, and ValoraSoy became a wholly owned subsidiary of
the Company for total aggregate consideration of $2.6 million, in a combination of cash ($2.4 million of which $1.9 million were an immediate
cash payment and $0.5 million will be paid in 6 months from the Closing Date) and equity (64,093 shares equivalent to $0.2 million which
will be transferred in 12 months from the Closing Date). The acquisition agreement also included a contingent payment in a fixed amount
of equity amounting to 384,558 shares equivalent to $1.7 million, which was determined to be a remuneration agreement for future services
(the “earn-out”) and consequently it was excluded from the consideration and will be recognized as an expense over the required
service period. The contingent payment is payable in shares over a three year period from 2024 to 2026 and subject to the achievement
of certain EBITDA targets, as defined in the ValorSoy SPA Such payment is automatically forfeited on termination of employment.
ValoraSoy
has more than 10 years of experience, specializes in the production of textured soy proteins and has a long history providing high-quality
products and customized solutions to clients in more than 14 countries in 3 different continents. Its products are manufactured using
various extrusion processes obtaining as a result vegetable proteins with texture and fibrousness similar to those of meat with various
applications such as hamburgers, sausages, and other plant-based products. It has state-of-the-art processing facilities located in the
Argentine soybean corridor, which helps maximize raw material origination, with an installed crushing capacity of 10 thousand tons of
soybean per year, and a team with over 30 professional facility workers and engineers.
Under
IFRS 3, this acquisition qualifies as a business combination and will be accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting.
The
initial accounting for the business combination will be prepared at the time of the acquisition date. The Company will continue working
on the disclosures required by IFRS 3 paragraphs 59 and B64 during the twelve months period following the acquisition date, that due
to the fact of being a recent acquisition it is impracticable to make them at the moment of issuance of these consolidated financial
statements.
The
consideration of payment was measured at fair value, which was calculated as the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of the assets
transferred, and the liabilities incurred.

REPORT
OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
To the Board of Directors of Moolec Science S.A.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets acquired and liabilities
assumed of Valorasoy S.A. (the “Company”) as of April 24, 2023, including the related notes (referred to as the “statement
of assets acquired and liabilities assumed”).
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets acquired and liabilities
assumed presents fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of April 24, 2023 in accordance with International
Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America (US GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’
Responsibilities for the Audit of the Statement of Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed section of our report. We are required to be
independent of the Company and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating
to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Emphasis of a Matter
The accompanying special purpose statement of assets acquired and liabilities
assumed was prepared in connection with Moolec Science S.A.’s (“Moolec”) acquisition of the Company and, as described
in Note 1, was prepared for the purpose of complying with Rule 3-05 of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) Regulation
S-X in accordance with a waiver received by Moolec from the SEC dated May 1, 2023. This special purpose statement of assets acquired and
liabilities assumed is not intended to be a complete presentation of the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the
Company. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.
Responsibilities of Management for the Statement of Assets Acquired
and Liabilities Assumed
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation
of the statement of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by
the International Accounting Standards Board, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the
preparation and fair presentation of a statement of assets acquired and liabilities assumed that is free from material misstatement, whether
due to fraud or error.
In preparing the statement of assets acquired and liabilities assumed,
management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about
the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year after the date the statement of assets acquired and liabilities
assumed is available to be issued.
Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Statement
of Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
statement of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and
to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance
and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with US GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it
exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may
involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered
material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable
user based on the statement of assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
In performing an audit in accordance with US GAAS, we:
| ● | Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. |
| ● | Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the statement of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, whether due to
fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures
include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the statement of assets acquired and liabilities
assumed. |
| ● | Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control. Accordingly, no
such opinion is expressed. |
| ● | Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management,
as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the statement of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. |
| ● | Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about
the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. |
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding,
among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters
that we identified during the audit.

Description of Business and Basis of presentation
On April 24, 2023 (the “Closing Date”),
Moolec Science SA (the “Company”) completed the acquisition of ValoraSoy S.A. (“ValoraSoy”) from the sellers in
accordance with the share purchase agreement (“ValoraSoy SPA”) by and among the Company and the sellers (the “ValoraSoy
Acquisition”). As a result of the ValoraSoy Acquisition, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding equity securities
of ValoraSoy from the sellers, and ValoraSoy became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company for total aggregate consideration of $2.6
million, in a combination of cash ($2.4 million of which $1.9 million were an immediate cash payment and $0.5 million will be paid in
6 months from the Closing Date) and equity (64,093 shares equivalent to $0.2 million which will be transferred in 12 months from the Closing
Date). The acquisition agreement also included a contingent payment in a fixed amount of equity amounting to 384,558 shares equivalent
to $1.7 million, which was determined to be a remuneration agreement for future services (the “earn-out”) and consequently
it was excluded from the consideration and will be recognized as an expense over the required service period. The contingent payment is
payable in shares over a three year period from 2024 to 2026 and subject to the achievement of certain EBITDA targets, as defined in the
ValorSoy SPA Such payment is automatically forfeited on termination of employment.
ValoraSoy has more than 10 years of experience,
specializes in the production of textured soy proteins and has a long history providing high-quality products and customized solutions
to clients in more than 14 countries in 3 different continents. Its products are manufactured using various extrusion processes, obtaining
as a result vegetable proteins with texture and fibrousness similar to those of meat, which have various applications such as hamburgers,
sausages, and other plant-based products. It has state-of-the-art processing facilities located in the Argentine soybean corridor, which
helps maximize raw material origination, with an installed crushing capacity of 10 thousand tons of soybean per year, and a team with
over 30 professional facility workers and engineers.
Negative working capital
As of the Closing Date, ValoraSoy has a negative
working capital of $1,023,587 generated mainly by a temporary mismatch between account payables and account receivables. The Company is
evaluating alternatives to reverse this situation and does not foresee issues in meeting its short-term obligations.
Basis of presentation – the
Statement of Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed (the “Statement”) is not a complete set of financial statements, but
rather it presents the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the ValoraSoy Acquisition at fair value as the Closing Date, in accordance
with International Financial Reporting Standard 3 Business Combinations (“IFRS 3”). This statement does not include
all the information required under International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), such as, the statement of comprehensive
income, of changes in shareholders equity and of cash flows, as well as related notes and comparative information. The Company’s
preliminary allocation of the purchase price was based on an evaluation of the estimated fair values and represents management’s
best estimate based on available data at the date the Statement was issued (July 10, 2023). The purchase price allocation of the assets
acquired and liabilities assumed is preliminary until the contractual post-closing adjustments are finalized and the measurement period
allowed for under IFRS 3 has closed. The final determination of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed will be completed
within the one-year measurement period as allowed by IFRS 3. Changes during the measurement period could be material.
As a result of the ValoraSoy Acquisition, and
pursuant to Rule 3-05 and Article 11 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”),
the Company would be required to file certain historical audited financial statements of ValoraSoy and corresponding pro forma financial
information. However, in a letter dated May 1, 2023, the SEC stated that it would permit the substitution of an audited statement of assets
acquired and liabilities assumed at fair value as of the Closing Date in lieu of historical audited financial statements of ValoraSoy
and corresponding pro forma financial information otherwise required by Regulation S-X.
The Statement has been approved for issuance by
the Board of Directors on July 10, 2023.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Use of estimates – the Company
prepared the Statement in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards
Board (“IFRS”). IFRS requires the Company to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported herein.
The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on ValoraSoy’ historical experience and on various other factors that are believed
to be reasonable under the circumstances, including those of a market participant. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making
estimates, actual results reported in future periods may be affected by changes in those estimates and underlying assumptions.
Foreign currency translation —
the assets acquired and liabilities assumed of ValoraSoy are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rate as of the date of the
ValoraSoy Acquisition.
Fair value measurements —
fair value is defined, from the perspective of market participants who hold the asset or owe the liability as the exit price, or the amount
that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the
measurement date. The authoritative guidance establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of
observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable
inputs are from sources independent of ValoraSoy. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s assumptions about the factors market
participants would use in valuing the asset or liability developed based upon the best information available in the circumstances. The
categorization of assets and liabilities within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to
the fair value measurement. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels:
Level 1: Inputs are quoted prices in active markets
for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Inputs include quoted prices for similar
assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active,
and inputs (other than quoted prices) that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3: Inputs are unobservable for the asset
or liability.
The Company uses estimates and assumptions to
assign fair value to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on information that existed
as of the Closing Date. The Company believes that the information available provides a reasonable basis for estimating the fair values
of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The preliminary measurements of fair value set forth herein are subject to change and such
changes could be material.
The fair value of cash, inventories, trade receivables,
other receivables, fixed assets and accounts payables approximated their carrying value at the date of acquisition due to their short
maturities and/or because their terms are similar to market terms.
Intangible assets and right of use assets were
fair valued using a combination of Level 2 and Level 3 inputs as described in each respective policy below. The value of deferred income
taxes were determined in accordance with International Accounting Standard 12, Income Taxes (“IAS 12”).
Concentrations of Credit Risk –
financial instruments held by ValoraSoy that are potentially subject to concentrations of credit risk are primarily cash and receivables.
The Company determined that there were no acquired financial assets that, as of the date of the ValoraSoy Acquisition, have experienced
a more-than-insignificant deterioration in credit quality since origination.
Cash includes cash held for funding
the daily operations. The carrying amount reported in the Statement for cash is valued at cost, which represents their fair value.
Trade receivables are recorded at
fair value at Closing Date.
Inventories are recorded at fair
value based on the measurement at Closing Date. Inventories are comprised of the following amounts:
| |
April 24,
2023 | |
Raw material | |
$ | 438,375 | |
Finished goods | |
| 93,856 | |
Total inventories | |
$ | 532,231 | |
Other receivables are recorded at
fair value at Closing Date. Other receivables are comprised of the following amounts:
| |
April 24,
2023 | |
Tax credits | |
$ | 653,694 | |
Loan receivables | |
| 293,598 | |
Prepayment to suppliers | |
| 97,516 | |
Total other receivables | |
$ | 1,044,808 | |
Fixed assets are recorded at fair
value at Closing Date. Fixed assets are comprised of the following amounts:
| |
April 24,
2023 | |
Machinery | |
$ | 1,055,494 | |
Vehicles | |
| 25,464 | |
Storage | |
| 49,281 | |
Fixture and fittings | |
| 5,154 | |
Equipment and computers | |
| 2,633 | |
Total fixed assets | |
$ | 1,138,026 | |
Right of use of assets are recorded
at fair value using a third party valuation specialist.
Intangible assets consist of ValoraSoy’
customer relationships and software licenses. Software licenses will be amortized on a straight-line basis and customer relationships
based on the expected attrition over the respective estimated periods for which the intangible assets will provide economic benefit to
the Company. Customer relationships were valued using the multi-period excess earnings method of the income approach. Significant assumptions
used in the valuations including ValoraSoy cash flow projections which were based on estimates used to price the ValoraSoy Acquisition,
and the discount rates applied were benchmarked with reference to the implied rate of return to the Company’s pricing model and
the weighted-average cost of capital.
Goodwill represents the excess of
the purchase price consideration over the fair value of the underlying assets acquired and liabilities assumed and largely results from
expected future synergies from combining operations as well as an assembled workforce, which does not qualify for separate recognition.
The preliminary purchase price allocation resulted in the recognition of $249,725 of goodwill. The Company expects that the ValoraSoy
Acquisition will help to accelerate its growth in the food ingredients industry by expanding its commercial network with a top-notch sales
team and complementing its Molecular Farming Platform with industrial capacity and downstream operations, in addition to adding a highly
experienced team of professionals.
