MARCH 31, 2022
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Nature of Operations - Forafric Agro Holdings Limited and Subsidiaries (the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”) through its subsidiaries is a market leader in the milling industry in Morocco, with a complete offering of flours and semolina, secondary processing products including pasta and couscous, rice, and starches (“Milling Business”). The Company is wholly owned by Lighthouse Capital Limited (the “Parent” or “Parent Company”).
During 2021, the Company owned common stock representing 100% ownership in Millcorp Geneva SA (“Millcorp”). Millcorp is a trading company that trades grains and oils for use as animal feed (“Grain Trading Business”). On June 1, 2021 (“Separation Date”), the Company distributed its 100% ownership in Millcorp to the Parent Company which resulted in the spin-off of its Grain Trading business (“Restructuring”). The Company did not receive any consideration from the Parent Company for distributing the 100% ownership in Millcorp. The assets, liabilities, and results of operations of Millcorp have been excluded from these condensed consolidated financial statements.
Based on an evaluation of the guidance under Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) Topic 5.Z.7, Accounting for the spin-off of a subsidiary, it was determined that the Restructuring should be reflected as a change in reporting entity. As such, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company retroactively reflect the Restructuring, including all distributions and transactions in conjunction therewith, and exclude Millcorp for all periods presented. These condensed consolidated financial statements are the consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries, each of which is controlled, and is based on the financial position and results of operations of the Company as a standalone company. Intercompany balances and transactions between consolidated entities have been eliminated. Refer to Note 17 — Related Parties for further information regarding the Company’s related party transactions.
In June 2021, the Company signed a letter of intent to be acquired by Globis Acquisition Corp. (“Globis”). Globis is a special purpose acquisition company (“SPAC”) listed on the NASDAQ exchange in the United States. As of June 3, 2022, the transaction gained the approval by the SEC. The transaction is expected to close in June 2022, subject to approval by the shareholders of the SPAC.
On December 19, 2021, Globis and the Company entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination”). The Business Combination Agreement provides for the consummation of the following transactions (collectively, the “Business Combination”): (i) Globis will merge with and into Globis NV Merger Corp., a Nevada corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Globis (“Globis Nevada”), with Globis Nevada surviving (the “Merger”); (ii) Globis Nevada will change its jurisdiction of incorporation by transferring by way of a redomiciliation and domesticating as a Gibraltar public company limited by shares (the “Redomiciliation”) and change its name to “Forafric Global PLC” (referred to herein as “New Forafric”); and (iii) immediately following the effectiveness of the Redomiciliation, New Forafric will acquire 100% of the equity interests in the Company from the Lighthouse Capital Limited (“Seller”) and the Company will become a direct subsidiary of New Forafric.
The total consideration to be paid to the Seller in the Business Combination will be (i) 15,100,000 Ordinary Shares, subject to reduction to the extent that the Closing Payment (as defined below) is less than $0, provided that the Seller may be issued up to 1,904,762 additional Ordinary Shares determined based on the amount of Remaining Cash (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) at the Closing; plus (ii) an amount (the “Closing Payment”) equal to $20,000,000 minus the outstanding amount of all Funded Debt (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) as of the Closing (other than Permitted Debt); provided that Seller may receive up to an additional $20,000,000 determined based on the amount of Remaining Cash (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) at the Closing. The Closing Payment shall be funded by remaining funds in the Trust Account after giving effect to any Buyer Share Redemptions (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) and the proceeds of any potential private placement financing.
In addition to the foregoing consideration, the Seller shall be entitled to receive, as additional consideration, and without any action on behalf of the Company or the Company’s stockholders, additional Ordinary Shares (the “Earnout Shares”), to be issued as follows during the period from and after the Closing until the end of calendar year 2024 (A) 500,000 Earnout Shares, if, during calendar year 2022, Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) of the Company is equal to or greater than $27 million, (B) 500,000 Earnout Shares, if, during calendar year 2023, Adjusted EBITDA of New Forafric is equal to or greater than $33 million, and (C) 1,000,000 Earnout Shares, if, during calendar year 2024, the Buyer Trading Price (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) during the standard market trading hours of a trading day is greater than or equal to $16.50 for any 20 trading days within any period of 30 consecutive trading days.

Basis of Presentation - These condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the Company and have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”).
The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto are unaudited, and as permitted by the interim reporting rules and regulations set forth by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), exclude certain financial information and note disclosures normally included in annual audited financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all material adjustments of a normal recurring nature that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2021.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Significant Accounting Policies – The Company’s accounting policies used in the preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements do not differ from those used in the audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021, unless otherwise noted.
Use of Estimates - The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to use judgment to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of net sales and expenses during the reporting period. Significant accounting policy elections, estimates and assumptions include, among others, allowance for credit losses, valuation assumptions of goodwill and intangible assets, useful lives of long-lived assets, and measurement of income tax assets. Given the uncertainty of the global economic environment and the impact of COVID-19, our estimates could be significantly different than future performance. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Historically, the aggregate differences, if any, between our estimates and actual amounts in any year have not had a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Principles of Consolidation – The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include all entities controlled by the Company after reflecting the Restructuring previously described.
Control exists when the Company has the power, directly or indirectly, to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive the benefits from its activities that could potentially be significant to the entity. In assessing control, potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are taken into account. The accounts of subsidiaries are included in the condensed consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases.
Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions - The Company’s functional currency is the Moroccan dirham, and its presentation currency is the United States Dollar (“USD”). The functional currency is translated into U.S. dollars for balance sheet accounts using currency exchange rates in effect as of the balance sheet date, and for revenue and expense accounts using a weighted-average exchange rate during the period. The transactions in foreign currency (that is a different currency than the functional currency of the entity) are converted at the exchange rate prevailing to the date of the transaction. The assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are evaluated in the current period on the date of the closing or at the opening rate, when applicable. The translation adjustments are deferred as a separate component of equity in accumulated other comprehensive income. Gains or losses resulting from transactions denominated in foreign currencies and intercompany debt that is not of a long-term investment nature are included in (Gain) loss on foreign currency exchange in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
Government Subsidies – The Moroccan government provides certain subsidy programs based on production of affordable flour and import taxes. Subsidies are paid by the Moroccan government and are predicated on sales of flour and price of imported raw materials. The Company records the flour subsidies as a credit against the related costs that the subsidies were intended to offset in the same periods that the costs were incurred within the consolidated statement of operations. Outstanding government subsidies are included in other receivables on the balance sheet.

(Continued)
Credit Risk – Financial instruments potentially subject to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable. At times during the periods presented, the Company had funds in excess of Deposit Insurance programs in Morocco, on deposit at various financial institutions. Management believes the Company is not exposed to significant credit risk due to the financial position of the depository institutions in which those deposits are held.
The Company’s trade accounts receivable are unsecured and geographically dispersed. No single client’s trade accounts receivable balance as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 exceeded 10% of the Company’s consolidated accounts receivable, net.
Variable Interest Entities – Effective on October 7, 2021, the Company completed a share purchase acquisition of Moulins Sanabil SA (“Sanabil SA”) and has been since actively involved in their operations and has the power to direct the activities and significantly impact Sanabil SA’s economic performance. The Company also bears the risk of losses and has the right to receive 60% of the benefits from Sanabil SA. As such, in accordance with ASC 810-10-25-38A through 25-38J, Sanabil SA is considered a VIE of the Company and the financial statements of Sanabil SA were consolidated from the date that the control existed.
Effective on July 30, 2021, the Company completed a share purchase acquisition of Moulin du Sahel Burkina (“MDS Burkina”) and has since significant economic exposure to MDS Burkina. The Company also bears the risk of losses and has the right to receive 78.21% of the benefits from MDS Burkina. As such, in accordance with ASC 810-10-25-38A through 25-38J, MDS Burkina is considered a VIE of the Company and the financial statements of MDS Burkina were consolidated from the date that the control existed.
Effective on April 30, 2021, the Company completed a share purchase acquisition of MDS Mali and has been since actively involved in their operations and has the power to direct the activities and significantly impact MDS Mali’s economic performance. The Company also bears the risk of losses and has the right to receive 70.35% of the benefits from MDS Mali. As such, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810-10-25-38A through 25-38J, MDS Mali is considered a VIE of the Company and the financial statements of MDS Mali were consolidated from the date that the control existed.
Equity Method Accounting – As of September 30, 2021, the Company owned 37.10% of the outstanding capital stock of Grands Moulins du Tenere Niger (“GMT Niger”) which was accounted for as an equity method investment. The Company applies the equity method of accounting for the investment, as the Company owns less than a 50% ownership interest and cannot exert significant influence. As such, this entity is not considered a variable interest entity. The equity method investment is included in other assets, noncurrent, on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Non-Controlling Interests – Non-controlling interests on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income represent the portion of a majority-owned subsidiary’s net income or loss that is attributed by non-controlling stockholders. Non-controlling interests on the consolidated balance sheets represent the portion of equity in a consolidated subsidiary owned by non-controlling stockholders.
3. RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In November 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-10, Government Assistance (Topic 832): Disclosure by Business Entities about Government Assistance, which improves the transparency of government assistance received by most business entities by requiring the disclosure of: (1) the types of government assistance received; (2) the accounting for such assistance; and (3) the effect of the assistance on a business entity’s financial statements. This guidance is effective for the Company’s interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2021. Refer to Note 6 for additional information disclosed by the Company.

4. LEASES
The Company has operating leases for real estate and vehicles. The Company has finance leases for equipment and construction land space. Leases are classified as finance leases because ownership of the underlying assets transfers at the end the lease term. Remaining lease terms for these leases range from less than one year to six years.
The Company does not record leases with a term of 12 months or less on the balance sheet.
Supplemental balance sheet information related to leases was as follows:

Total noncurrent liabilities | | | | | 3,527 | | | | 4,452 | |
Total liabilities | | | | $ | 6,427 | | | $ | 7,455 | |
Right-of-use assets and their corresponding lease liabilities are measured and recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at the commencement date.
Discount Rates
For the majority of its leases, the Company uses the rate implicit in the lease. For leases without an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of future payments for those leases.
The weighted-average discount rates for the Company’s leases were as follows:
| | March 31, | | | December 31, | |
| | 2022 | | | 2021 | |
Operating leases | | | 5.0 | % | | | 5.0 | % |
Finance leases | | | 6.2 | % | | | 6.2 | % |
Lease Payments
The Company includes lease payments under options to extend or terminate the lease in the measurement of the right-of-use asset and lease liability when it is reasonably certain that it will exercise such options. Fixed lease costs represent the explicitly quantified lease payments prescribed by the lease agreement and are included in the measurement of the right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability.

Total long-term debt | | $ | 21,291 | | | $ | 14,129 | |
The term loans and other financial liabilities are evaluated according to the amortized cost method using the effective interest rate of the loan. The loan issuance costs and premiums are determined at inception and are amortized over the useful life of the loan via the effective interest rate.
Convertible Bonds
On December 31, 2021 the Company authorized the issuance of convertible bonds of up to $40,000 with an annual interest rate of 6.00% through June 15, 2026. As of March 31, 2022, the Company issued $11,500 in aggregate principal amount of 6.00% convertible bonds (the “Convertible Bonds”). The Convertible Bonds bear cash interest at a rate of 6.00% payable annually on each 12-month anniversary of the date of issuance and on the final redemption date of June 15, 2026, unless earlier redeemed or converted in accordance with the terms of the Convertible Bonds. The Convertible Bonds are unsecured obligations of the Company and are not transferable without the consent of the Company.
The Convertible Bonds will be redeemable, in whole or in part at the Company’s option at any time, and from time to time at a cash redemption price equal to the principal amount of the Convertible Bonds to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest without premium or penalty.

Pursuant to the terms of the Convertible Bonds, upon consummation of the Business Combination, the Convertible Bonds are subject to mandatory conversion into ordinary shares of New Forafric at a conversion price of $9.45 per share. The ordinary shares will be calculated by dividing the principal amount being converted, together with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon, but the conversion price of $9.45. The conversion price is subject to customary adjustments for stock dividends, stock splits, reclassifications, and the like, and is also subject to price-based adjustment, on a “full ratchet” basis, in the event of any issuances of common stock, or securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable for, common stock at a price below the then-applicable conversion price (subject to certain exceptions).
The Convertible Bonds are accounted for in accordance with ASC 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options (“ASC 470-20”) and ASC 815-40, Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (“ASC 815-40”). Under ASC 815-40, to qualify for equity classification (or nonbifurcation, if embedded) the instrument (or embedded feature) must be both (1) indexed to the issuer’s stock and (2) meet the requirements of the equity classification guidance. Based upon the Company’s analysis, it was determined the Convertible Bonds do contain embedded features indexed to its own stock, but do not meet the requirements for bifurcation and recognition as derivatives, and therefore do not need to be separately recognized. Accordingly, the proceeds received from the issuance of the Convertible Bonds were recorded as a single liability measured at amortized cost on the consolidated balance sheet.
Term Loans
The Company maintains term loans with several financial institutions (the “Term Loans”). The Term Loans are unsecured and have fixed monthly payments ranging from approximately $881. Interest on the Term Loans range from 5.8%-8.0% per annum. The Term Loans mature and will be fully repaid throughout 2022 and 2034.
Lease Obligations
The Company owes $6,427 and $7,455 related to its leases as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Lease obligations are payable in monthly installments of principal and interest and are collateralized by the related assets financed. Refer to Note 5 for additional information regarding the Company’s leases.
The scheduled maturities of outstanding debt as of March 31, 2022 are as follows:

13. INCOME TAXES
The Company’s effective tax rate was -39% and 20% for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The effective tax rate was lower than the Moroccan statutory rate primarily due to unrecognized tax losses and the minimum contribution due to the Moroccan tax authorities levied on turnover and other specific revenue.
During the periods ended March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company has $6,161 and $7,265, respectively, as unrecognized net operating losses.
In assessing the realizability of these deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more-likely-than-not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income in those periods in which temporary differences become deductible and/or net operating loss carryforwards can be utilized. The Company considers the level of historical taxable income, scheduled reversal of temporary differences, tax planning strategies, and projected future taxable income in determining whether a valuation allowance is warranted.
The Company maintained a valuation allowance of $6,161 and $7,265 respectively as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 against its net operating losses.

The valuation for each of these intangible assets was based on estimated projections of expected cash flows to be generated by the assets, discounted to the present value at discount rates commensurate with perceived risk. The valuation assumptions take into consideration the Company’s estimates of customer attrition and revenue growth projections. The Company is amortizing the identifiable intangible assets arising from the Sanabil SA acquisition in relation to the expected cash flows from the individual intangible assets over their respective useful lives, which have a weighted average life of 20 years (see Note 9). Goodwill represents Sanabil SA’s market presence and its experienced workforce as well as future potential to generate cash flows and other economic benefits and results from assets that are not separately identifiable as part of the transaction and is not deductible for tax purposes.
The Company incurred no material transaction costs for the acquisition of Sanabil SA.
