2. | ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND BASIS OF PREPARATION |
2.1. Statement of compliance with IFRS as issued by IASB
These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the three-month period ended September 30, 2020 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, 2020.
2.2. Authorization for the issue of the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements
These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group as of September 30, 2020, June 30, 2020 and for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 were authorized by the Board of Directors of Bioceres Crop Solutions Corp. on November 30, 2020.
2.3. 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 Group’s 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.
2.4. 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%. 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.
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, 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 September 30, 2019 and June 30, 2019 was 253.7102 and 225.5370, respectively.
The index as of September 30, 2020 and June 30, 2020 was 346.6207 and 321.9738, 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.
2.5. Changes in accounting policies
As mentioned in Note 5.8, the Group has accounted for an investment property. Investment property is land or a building (including part of a building) or both that is held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation or both. An example of investment property is land held for a currently undetermined future use and not held for sale in the ordinary course of business.
BIOCERES CROP SOLUTIONS CORP.
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
(Amounts in US Dollars, except otherwise indicated)
The investment property was measured initially at cost. For subsequent measurement, the Group adopted the cost model as its accounting policy for investments properties.
Others 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, 2020.
2.6. Changes in accounting estimates and judgments
There were no significant changes in accounting estimates and judgments with respect to the consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2020.
3. | NEW STANDARDS, AMENDMENTS AND INTERPRETATIONS ISSUED BY THE IASB |
The following new standards became applicable for the current reporting period and the Group had to change its accounting policies as a result of adopting these standards:
Amendments to IFRS 16 - COVID-19 related Rent Concessions
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, rent concessions have been granted to lessees. Such concessions might take a variety of forms, including payment holidays and deferral of lease payments. In May 2020, the IASB made an amendment to IFRS 16 Leases which provides lessees with an option to treat qualifying rent concessions in the same way as they would if they were not lease modifications. In many cases, this will result in accounting for the concessions as variable lease payments in the period in which they are granted.
Entities applying the practical expedients must disclose this fact, whether the expedient has been applied to all qualifying rent concessions or, if not, information about the nature of the contracts to which it has been applied, as well as the amount recognized in profit or loss arising from the rent concessions.
The amendments are effective for financial years beginning on or after January 1, 2020.
These amendments are not expected to have material impact on the Group.
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.

HB4® Program
Bioceres’ HB4® Program is an identity-preserved production system for growing drought-tolerant soybean and wheat. It has multiple objectives, which include expanding Bioceres’ seed inventories, allowing growers to field test Bioceres’ HB4® technology, providing fields for product demonstrations and validating the products’ regional positioning.
BIOCERES CROP SOLUTIONS CORP.
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
(Amounts in US Dollars, except otherwise indicated)
HB4® seed varieties produced through the program will be commercialized as an integrated product, the EcoSeed®. The seed treatment process to produce EcoSeeds utilizes customized microbial solutions for seed nutrition and protection, including biological fungicides. For soybean EcoSeed products, nitrogen fixing bacteria (inoculants) are also integrated, including stress-tolerant formulations that are also optimized for drought-prone agricultural areas.
In addition to providing EcoSeeds for planting, the HB4 program comprises Bioceres’ next-generation crop nutrition and protection technologies for growing EcoWheat® and EcoSoy®, The HB4 program also includes digital apps that give growers access to satellite-based images and data for monitoring crop health, soil conditions and weather, information that helps optimize crop yields. On top of generating extensive and detailed datasets from each grower’s HB4 production fields that are monitored via these digital apps, Bioceres is applying and leveraging data science and blockchain technology to other areas of agriculture’s value chain, such as crop storage, logistics and processing, in order to guarantee HB4 identity and complete farm-to-fork traceability.
The identity-preserved HB4 Program to produce EcoSeeds utilizes service contracts with growers who are committed to preserving the identity of the HB4 crop under a full-seed production offtake agreement, which includes best environmental farming practices, such as no-till agriculture. Under these agreements, Bioceres contributes EcoSeed and the other aforementioned goods to growers for a pre-agreed price (based on prevailing market prices), which are deduced from the service fees to paid to growers at the time of harvest for the seed multiplication services provided.
Joint operation with Espartina S.A.
On September 1, 2020, Rizobacter Argentina S.A., a subsidiary of the Company, entered into an agreement with Espartina S.A. (“Espartina”) to share its business of producing grain crops. The joint operation is classified as a joint agreement as established in IFRS 11, while the parties are entitled to the assets and obligations over the related liabilities. Rizobacter Argentina S.A. recognizes as a joint operator, in relation to its participation, assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The production obtained is distributed according to the contributions made by each party. Rizobacter corresponds to 4.5% and Espartina to 95.5%. The in-kind contributions made during the period amount to $261,619 (Note 14). Each party decides the means of commercialization and the destination of the grains produced.
Under the agreement, Rizobacter provides inputs and money necessary for producing the grains and according to the established participation percentages. For its participation, Espartina contributes all cultivation practices in fields, inputs not provided by Rizobacter, and all administrative expenses related to production.

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 September 30, 2020, 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 2020. 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.

As of June 30, 2020, the fair value of private warrants using a share price of $6.06 and risk-free rate of 0.29%, decreased to $1.7 million and the Group recognized a finance gain of $1.2 million.
On August 24, 2020, the Company completed an offer to exchange any and all of its 24,200,000 outstanding warrants, for either 0.12 Ordinary Shares (the "Exchange Shares") or $0.45 in cash per Warrant, without interest (the "Cash Consideration", and together with the Exchange Shares, the "Exchange Consideration"), at the election of the holder (the "Offer"). The Offer was made upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Company's Tender Offer Statement and Schedule 13E-3 Statement on Schedule TO, originally filed by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on July 27, 2020, as amended and supplemented, and the related letter of election and transmittal and other offer materials.
The Offer provided for a premium to the closing trading price of the Public warrants on July 24, 2020 equal to (a) 321%, in respect of the Cash Consideration, or (b) 482% in respect of the implied value of the Exchange Shares taking into account the closing trading price of the Ordinary Shares on July 24, 2020. The premium offer price allowed for maximum participation of holders in the Offer.
Based on information provided by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the depositary for the Offer, a total of 21,938,774 warrants were validly tendered and not properly withdrawn prior to the expiration of the Offer. The Company accepted for exchange all such Warrants and paid an aggregate amount of approximately $115,062 of the Cash Consideration and issued an aggregate of 2,601,954 Exchange Shares in exchange for the warrants tendered.
Following the Offer, the Company redeemed the 2,261,226 warrants that were not validly tendered or exchanged pursuant to the Offer for $0.405 in cash per warrant. The Company paid an aggregate amount of approximately $915,796 for these warrants.
As a result of the Offer and the redemption of the warrants, the Group recognized a total financial loss of $6.2 million in “Changes in fair value of financial assets or liabilities and other financial results” (Note 6.5) as consequence of the comparison between the fair value as of June 30, 2020 and the total amount paid.

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 5.12).
Management estimates that the carrying value of the financial instruments measured at amortized cost approximates their fair value.

Incentive payments based on options
a) Share option plan (2019)
The plan granted 1,200,000 stock options with an exercise price of $4.55. They are vested when the beneficiaries have served a period of service since the grant date until each vesting period described below. The beneficiaries must remain in the Company or subsidiary as of the date of exercising the option to exercise it. The stock options expire on October 31, 2029.
Options can be exercised for a period of up to three years, with 1/3 vesting every 12 months, and 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.
Factor | | Incentive option plan | |
Weighted average fair value of shares | | $ | 5.42 | |
Exercise price | | $ | 4.55 | |
Weighted average expected volatility (*) | | | 29.69 | % |
Dividend rate | | | 0 | % |
Weighted average risk-free interest rate | | | 1.66 | % |
Weighted average expected life | | | 9.89 years | |
Weighted average fair value of stock options at measurement date | | $ | 2.47 | |
(*) Implied volatility of Public warrants
There are no market-related performance conditions or non-vesting conditions that should be considered for determining the fair value of the stock options.
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 three-month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.

Bonus in Cash is an annual cash incentive awarded up to an amount that is five times the individual’s monthly salary, which can be increased by $30,000 in value if the recipient decides to receive the base bonus in ordinary shares, to each of the Chief Operating Officer, Sales Director and Marketing Director and Managing Director of Rizobacter S.A. The bonus will be granted upon the meeting of certain financial and operational objectives. Each year the Board of Directors will define the objectives upon approval of the annual budget.
For the year ended June 30, 2020, all the beneficiaries decided to receive the bonus in ordinary shares.
Bonus in Kind is an annual in-kind incentive awarded in ordinary shares up to an equivalent of $315,000, $165,000 and $100,000 to the Chief Executive Officer (the “CEO”), Chief Financial Officer (the “CFO”) and Chief Technology Officer, respectively, to tie a portion of their compensation to financial and operational objectives. Each year the Board of Directors will define the objectives upon approval of the annual budget.

(Amounts in US Dollars, except otherwise indicated)
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 following year.
The charge in the three-month period ended September 30, 2020 in consideration of the annual compensation bonus for objectives achieved in the year ended June 30, 2020 amounted to $0.1 million. No charges have been accounted for the annual compensation bonus for objectives to be achieved in the year ending June 30, 2021.
As of the date of these financial statements, shares granted in consideration of the Annual Compensation Bonus for the year ended June 30, 2020 have not yet been issued.

18. CONTINGENCIES, COMMITMENTS AND RESTRICTIONS ON THE DISTRIBUTION OF PROFITS
In order to guarantee the obligations assumed on the Syndicated loan (incorporated in Bank borrowings in Note 5.11), Rizobacter signed and granted a pledge of a fixed term certificate constituted on September 11, 2017 and extended on September 7, 2020 for $4.4 million, disclosed as “Restricted short-term deposit” in “Other financials assets” (Note 5.2).
There were no other significant changes to the contingencies, commitments and restrictions on the distribution of profits from the disclosure made in the Consolidated financial statement as of June 30, 2020.
19. IMPACT OF COVID-19
In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) was reported in Wuhan, China. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic, reaching over 465,000 confirmed cases in 200 countries and territories by late March. COVID-19 has disrupted business activities in Argentina and worldwide. The Argentine government issued and maintained a stay-at-home order from March 20 to November 8, 2020, restricting free circulation of people in public areas and ordering most businesses to close, with certain exemptions. Subsequently, the aforementioned measure was replaced by social, preventive and mandatory distancing, in force from November 9 to December 20, 2020 inclusive, and which may be extended for the time deemed necessary in response to the epidemiological situation.
The eventual scope of COVID-19 outbreak and its impact on the country's and global economy are unknown, with governments being able to adopt stricter prevention measures, which are not predictable in this instance. It cannot be reasonably quantified to what extent COVID-19 will affect the Company'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.
20. EVENTS OCCURRING AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD
On October 28, 2020, we held our 2020 Annual Shareholders’ Meeting. Among other, a Share Option Plan and an Employee Stock Purchase Plan.
Share Option Plan: This is a share option plan of up to 100,000 underlying ordinary shares for certain key employees. The options have an exercise price of $5.55 and may be exercised for a period of up to three years from the grant date, with 1/3 vesting every 12 months. The first third of the vesting period is on September 18, 2021. The Board of Directors will determine the number of options and the key employees who will receive the award.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP): This is an incentive plan for eligible employees with no stock compensation to purchase ordinary shares of the Company up to a maximum of 15% percent of such employee’s monthly compensation. The number of ordinary shares subject to the ESPP shall be 200,000 ordinary shares. The purchase price will be equal to 85% of the lower of the closing price of the Company’s ordinary shares on the first business day and the last business day of the relevant offering period.

STATEMENTS
(Amounts in US Dollars, except otherwise indicated)
On November 12, 2020 we acquired from Arcadia Biosciences Inc (“Arcadia”) the remaining ownership interest in Verdeca LLC (“Verdeca”), a joint agreement formed by Bioceres and Arcadia in 2012 to develop second generation biotechnologies for soybean and to globally commercialize the HB4 Soy technology, and in-licensing rights to Arcadia’s quality wheat traits and the related Good Wheat™ brand for Latin America.
As part of the transaction, Bioceres has gained full access to and control of Verdeca´s vetted soybean library of gene-edited materials used to develop new quality and productivity traits for this crop, as well as exclusive rights to all Arcadia technologies that are applicable to soybean.
The complementary portfolio of materials being licensed includes wheat varieties that produce flour with 65% less gluten, ten times the dietary fiber content of conventional wheat flours, and oxidative stability, which extends the shelf life of whole flours and food products produced with these flours. In addition, these flours produce breads and other foods that are substantially equivalent in taste and all other aspects to conventional wheat. It should be noted that some of the rights being acquired by Bioceres are subject to clearances by third parties.
In consideration for the acquisition of the above-mentioned rights and assets, Bioceres paid Arcadia at the closing of the transaction $5 million in cash and $15 million in equity consisting of 1,875,000 Bioceres common shares priced at $8 and which are subject to a six-month lock-up period. Bioceres has relied on the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 under Section 4(a)(2) thereof, for a transaction by an issuer not involving any public offering. One-third of these shares are pledged in favor of Bioceres and will be released to Arcadia when the aforementioned third-party clearances related to the in-licensing of the wheat rights have been granted. Bioceres will also pay Arcadia $2 million subject to Verdeca obtaining Chinese import clearance for HB4 Soy or achieving penetration of this technology in a minimum number of planted hectares. These payments do not include $1 million due to Arcadia post-closing as a reimbursement of costs associated with the transaction.
Following the transaction Bioceres agreed with Arcadia to make royalty payments equivalent to 6% of the net HB4 Soy technology revenues realized by Verdeca and capped at a maximum $10 million aggregate amount of royalty payments, and a royalty payment equivalent to 25% of the net wheat technology revenues resulting from the in-licensed materials.
By the time of these financial statements are authorized for issuance, management is in the process of identifying and valuing the assets acquired. The analysis of the accounting of this transaction has not been completed yet.
Subsequent to September 30, 2020, there have been no situations or circumstances that may require significant adjustments or further disclosure in these Unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements that were not mentioned above.
