LOGISTIC PROPERTIES OF THE AMERICAS AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in U.S. Dollars)
Logistic Properties of the Americas (“LPA”) is a Cayman Islands exempted company formed on October 9, 2023. The registered office is located in Plaza Tempo, Edificio B Oficina B1, Piso 2, San Rafael de Escazú, San José, Costa Rica.
Logistic Properties of the Americas, through its affiliates and subsidiaries (jointly referred to as the “Company”) is a fully integrated, internally managed real estate company that develops, owns and manages a diversified portfolio of warehouse logistics assets in Central and South America.
On March 27, 2024, LPA consummated the previously announced business combination pursuant to the business combination agreement, dated as of August 15, 2023 (“Business Combination Agreement”), with two, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“TWOA”), LatAm Logistic Properties, S.A., a company incorporated under the laws of Panama (“LLP”), Logistic Properties of the Americas Subco, a Cayman Islands exempted company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of LPA (“SPAC Merger Sub”), and LPA Panama Group Corp., a company incorporated under the laws of Panama and a wholly-owned subsidiary of LPA (“Company Merger Sub”) (the “Business Combination”).
As a result of the Business Combination, TWOA and LLP became wholly-owned subsidiaries of LPA, and LPA ordinary shares (“Ordinary Shares”) were listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbol “LPA”. Refer to Note 3 for more details.
Since TWOA did not meet the definition of a business under the guidance of International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) (“IFRS”) 3, the Business Combination was accounted for as a share-based payment transaction in accordance with IFRS 2, Share-Based Payment (IFRS 2), and the Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse capitalization in accordance with IFRS. Under this method of accounting, TWOA was treated as the acquired company for financial reporting purposes and LLP was treated as the accounting acquirer. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Business Combination was treated as the equivalent of LLP issuing shares for the net assets of TWOA.
The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements were prepared as a continuation of LLP and its subsidiaries as LLP is considered the accounting predecessor. Accordingly, all historical financial information presented in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements represents the accounts of LLP. The comparative financial information in relation to the shares and basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share attributable to equity holders of the Company, prior to the Business Combination, have been retroactively restated as shares reflecting the exchange ratio established in the Business Combination.
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with LLP’s most recent audited consolidated financial statements and notes.
2. | MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION |
| a. | Basis of Accounting – The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34, Interim Financial Reporting, as issued by the IASB. |
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except certain investment properties that are measured at fair value as of end of each reporting period, as explained in the accounting policies included in LLP’s most recent audited consolidated financial statements and notes. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services.
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements follow the same significant accounting policies as those included in LLP’s most recent audited consolidated financial statements. Management believes that all adjustments that are required for a proper presentation of the financial information are incorporated in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements.
| b. | Going Concern – The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis in accordance with IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements (“IAS 1”), which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. |
As described further in Note 11, the Company obtained a waiver relating to compliance with the debt service coverage ratio as required by its loan covenants with Bancolombia, S.A. (“Bancolombia”) for the assessment on June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2024. The next testing date for the covenants will occur on June 30, 2025, and the Company expects to be in compliance with the covenants on this date. The outstanding Bancolombia loan balance as of September 30, 2024 was $37.5 million, with $1.2 million classified within current liabilities on the condensed consolidated statement of financial position.
The Company’s lending agreements with Bancolombia are only collateralized by four Colombian investment properties, which were valued at $96.4 million and $90.3 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. No other guarantees have been provided by the Company’s other subsidiaries that would put the Company’s operations outside of Colombia at risk in event of foreclosure. While the $6.4 million in revenue generated by the Company’s Colombian operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 represents approximately 19.6% of the Company’s consolidated revenues for the period, the Company’s operations outside of Colombia are expected to be profitable and generate adequate liquidity to provide for continued operations. In the event that the Company is unable to obtain further debt waivers, restructure the debt, or otherwise repay the Bancolombia loan, there is a possibility Bancolombia may initiate proceedings to foreclose on its Colombian properties without further recourse. However, this would not create material uncertainty as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in regards to its operations outside of Colombia. Additionally, with the consummation of the Company’s Business Combination with TWOA on March 27, 2024, the Company had gained access to additional capital which further supports the Company’s ability to finance ongoing operations. The Company believes that the capital raised coupled with the current cash projections created enough resources to prevent a foreclosure scenario. Refer to Note 3 for additional information on the Business Combination.
| c. | Share-based Payment – Certain employees, board of directors of the Company, and parties other than employees receive remuneration in the form of share-based payments whereby they render services in exchange for equity instruments (equity-settled transactions). |
Equity-settled share-based payments to employees and others providing similar services are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments at the grant date. The fair value excludes the effect of non-market-based vesting conditions.
The fair value determined at the grant date of the equity-settled share-based payments is expensed ratably over the period in which the service and, where applicable, the performance conditions are fulfilled (the vesting period) with a corresponding increase in equity. The cumulative expense recognized for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until the vesting date reflects the extent to which the vesting period has expired and the Company’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will eventually vest. For awards with graded vesting, the fair value determined at the grant date is expensed on a tranche-by-tranche basis using the accelerated attribution method. At each reporting date, the Company revises its estimate of the number of equity instruments expected to vest pursuant to service and non-market-based vesting conditions. The impact of the revision of the original estimates, if any, is recognized in the condensed consolidated interim statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income (loss) such that the cumulative expense reflects the revised estimate, with a corresponding adjustment to additional paid-in capital.
Service and non-market performance conditions are not taken into account when determining the grant date fair value of awards. Market conditions are reflected within the grant date fair value. Any other conditions attached to an award, but without an associated service requirement, are considered to be non-vesting conditions, which are reflected in the fair value of an award.
Equity-settled share-based payment transactions with parties other than employees are measured at the fair value of the goods or services received, except where that fair value cannot be estimated reliably. The goods or services received are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments granted and are measured on the date the entity obtains the goods or the counterparty renders the service.
| ● | Functional and Presentation Currency - The consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars (USD), which is the functional currency of Logistic Properties of the Americas and its subsidiaries, except for the Colombian subsidiaries of Latam Logistic COL OpCo, S.A. and Latam Logistic COL PropCo Cota I, S.A.S, for which the functional currency is the Colombian Peso. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the sell-exchange rates for a USD to relevant currencies were the following: |

Peruvian Soles (“PEN”) | | | PEN 3.76 | | | | PEN 3.73 | |
Colombian Pesos (“COP”) | | | COP 3,979 | | | | COP 4,406 | |
| ● | Foreign Currency Transactions - Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the respective functional currencies of the Company entities at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. |
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate at the reporting date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured based on historical cost in a foreign currency are translated at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency differences are generally recognized in profit or loss.
Foreign Operations - The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, for which the functional currency is other than the USD are translated into USD at exchange rates in effect at the date of the consolidated statement of financial position. The income and expenses of foreign operations are translated at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Components of equity are translated into USD at the historical exchange rates.
Foreign currency differences are recognized in other comprehensive income (OCI) and accumulated in a separate line item in the Company’s consolidated statements of changes in equity under “Foreign currency translation reserve”, except to the extent that the translation difference is allocated to non-controlling interests (NCI). When a foreign operation is disposed of in its entirety or partially such that control, significant influence or joint control is lost, the cumulative amount in the foreign currency translation reserve account related to that foreign operation is reclassified to profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on disposal. If the Company disposes of part of its interest in a subsidiary but retains control, then, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reattributed to non-controlling interests. When the Company disposes only part of an associate while retaining significant influence, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reclassified to profit or loss.
| e. | Basis of Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and entities controlled by the Company (its subsidiaries) at the end of each reporting period. Control is achieved when the Company: |
| ● | Has the power over the investee; |
| | |
| ● | Is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and |
| | |
| ● | Has the ability to use its power to affects its returns. |
The Company reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control listed above.
When the Company has less than a majority of the voting rights of an investee, it considers that it has power over the investee when the contractual rights are sufficient to give it the practical ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee unilaterally. The Company considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether or not the Company’s voting rights in an investee are sufficient to give it power, including:
| ● | The size of the Company’s holding of voting rights relative to the size and dispersion of holdings of the other vote holders; |
| | |
| ● | Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee |
| | |
| ● | Any additional facts and circumstances that indicate that the Company has, or does not have, the current ability to direct the relevant activities at the time that decisions need to be made including the ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of the investor’s returns |
Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Company obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Company loses control. Specifically, the results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are included in profit or loss from the date the Company gains control until the date when the Company ceases to control the subsidiary. Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive loss are attributed to owners of the Company and to the non-controlling interests. Total comprehensive income of the subsidiaries is attributed to the owners of the Company and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.
Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring the accounting policies used into line with the Company’s accounting policies.
All intragroup assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between the members of the Company are eliminated upon consolidation.
Non-controlling interests in subsidiaries are identified separately from the Company’s equity therein. Those interests of non-controlling shareholders that are present ownership interests entitling their holders to a proportionate share of net assets upon liquidation may initially be measured at fair value or at the non-controlling interests’ proportionate share of the fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. The choice of measurement is made on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis. Other non-controlling interests are initially measured at fair value. Subsequent to acquisition, the carrying amount of non-controlling interests is the amount of those interests at initial recognition plus the non-controlling interests’ share of subsequent changes in equity. Total comprehensive income is attributed to non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.
Changes in the Company’s interests in subsidiaries that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying amount of the Company’s interests and the non-controlling interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiaries. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognized directly in equity and attributed to the owners of the Company.
When the Company loses control of a subsidiary, the gain or loss on disposal recognized in profit or loss is calculated as the difference between (i) the aggregate of the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value, as of the date control is lost, of any retained interest in the subsidiary and (ii) the previous carrying amount of the assets (including goodwill), less liabilities of the subsidiary and any non-controlling interests. All amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive loss in relation to that subsidiary are accounted for as if the Company had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities of the subsidiary (i.e. reclassified to profit or loss or transferred to another category of equity as required/permitted by applicable IFRS Standards). The fair value of any investment retained in the former subsidiary at the date when control is lost is regarded as the fair value on initial recognition for subsequent accounting under IFRS 9 Financial Instruments when applicable, or the cost on initial recognition of an investment in an associate or a joint venture.

| f. | New and amended IFRS accounting standards that are effective for the current year |
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements and notes are based on accounting policies consistent with those described in Note 2 to the LLP’s most recent audited consolidated financial statements and notes. All the new and amended IFRS accounting standards effective as of September 30, 2024 that are relevant to the Company have already been early adopted before January 1, 2024. See details below:
Amendments to IAS 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements - Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-Current (“2020 Amendment”) - The amendments clarify that the classification of liabilities as current or non-current is based on rights that are in existence at the end of the reporting period, specify that classification is unaffected by expectations about whether an entity will exercise its right to defer settlement of a liability, explain that rights are in existence if covenants are complied with at the end of the reporting period, and introduce a definition of “settlement” to make clear that settlement refers to the transfer to the counterparty of cash, equity instruments, other assets or services. The amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024. The Company has early adopted the amendment as of January 1, 2023 together with the 2022 Amendment mentioned below.
Amendments to IAS 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements - Non-Current Liabilities with Covenants (“2022 Amendment”) - The amendments specify that only covenants that an entity is required to comply the end of the reporting period affect the entity’s right to defer settlement of a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting date (and therefore must be considered in assessing the classification of the liability as current or non-current). Such covenants affect whether the right exists at the end of the reporting period, even if compliance with the covenant is assessed only after the reporting date (e.g., a covenant based on the entity’s financial position at the reporting date that is assessed for compliance only after the reporting date).
The IASB also specifies that the right to defer settlement of a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting date is not affected if an entity only has to comply with a covenant after the reporting period. However, if the entity’s right to defer settlement of a liability is subject to the entity complying with covenants within twelve months after the reporting period, an entity discloses information that enables users of financial statements to understand the risk of the liabilities becoming repayable within twelve months after the reporting period. This would include information about the covenants (including the nature of the covenants and when the entity is required to comply with them), the carrying amount of related liabilities and facts and circumstances, if any, that indicate that the entity may have difficulties complying with the covenants.
The amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024. The Company early adopted the amendment as of January 1, 2023.
| g. | New and amended IFRS Accounting Standards issued but not yet effective |
At the date of authorization of these financial statements, the Company has not applied the following new IFRS Accounting Standards that have been issued but are not yet effective:
IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements – On April 9, 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements to improve reporting of financial performance. IFRS 18 replaces IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements while carrying forward many of the requirements in IAS 1. The new accounting standard introduces significant changes to the structure of a group’s income statement and new principles for aggregation and disaggregation of information. IFRS 18 applies for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027. Earlier application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact from the adoption of IFRS 18 on its consolidated financial statements.
Amendments to IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments - On May 30, 2024, IASB issued amendments to IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures, which clarifies the classification of financial assets with environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) and similar features, derecognition of financial liability settled through electronic payment systems and also introduces additional disclosure requirements to enhance transparency for investors regarding investments in equity instruments designated at fair value through other comprehensive income and financial instruments with contingent features. The effective date for adoption of this amendment is annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact from the adoption of the amendments on its consolidated financial statements.
On August 15, 2023, the Company entered into a Business Combination Agreement with LLP, TWOA, SPAC Merger Sub, and Company Merger Sub, for a proposed Business Combination. Under the Business Combination Agreement, at the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement (the “Closing”), among other matters, (a) SPAC Merger Sub merged with and into TWOA, with TWOA continuing as the surviving company, and, in connection therewith, each issued and outstanding security of TWOA immediately prior to the effective time of the Business Combination was no longer outstanding and was automatically canceled, in exchange for the right of the holder thereof to receive a substantially equivalent security of LPA; (b) Company Merger Sub merged with and into LLP, with LLP continuing as the surviving company, and, in connection therewith, the ordinary shares of LLP (“LLP Shares”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Business Combination were canceled in exchange for the right of the holders thereof to receive ordinary shares of LPA (“LPA Ordinary Shares”); and (c) as a result of the mergers, TWOA and LLP each became wholly-owned subsidiaries of LPA, and LPA Ordinary Shares were listed on the NYSE, all upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement.
On February 16, 2024, TWOA entered into a subscription agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”) with certain subscriber (“PIPE Investor”) to purchase 1,500,000 TWOA Class A ordinary shares at a price of $10.00 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $15,000,000, in a private placement to be consummated simultaneously with the Closing.
The Business Combination was unanimously approved by the board of directors of TWOA and was approved at the Extraordinary General Meeting on March 25, 2024. TWOA’s shareholders also voted to approve all other proposals presented at the Extraordinary General Meeting. As a result of the Business Combination, LLP and TWOA became wholly-owned direct subsidiaries of the Company. On March 28, 2024, the LPA Ordinary Shares commenced trading on the NYSE under the symbol “LPA”.
As a result of the Business Combination:
| ● | All outstanding TWOA Class A and Class B shares were canceled in exchange for 3,897,747 LPA Ordinary Shares, not including the shares held by the PIPE Investor; |
| | |
| ● | 1,500,000 Class A TWOA shares held by the PIPE Investor were converted to 1,500,000 LPA Ordinary Shares; |
| | |
| ● | All outstanding LLP shares were cancelled in exchange for 26,312,000 LPA Ordinary Shares. |
The Business Combination was consummated on March 27, 2024. Following the Business Combination, the ownership structure of LPA was as follows:
| | Number of Ordinary Shares | | | % of Ownership | |
LPA Ordinary Shares issued to TWOA shareholders | | | 3,897,747 | | | | 12.3 | % |
LPA Ordinary Shares converted from legacy LLP equity holders | | | 26,312,000 | | | | 83.0 | % |
LPA Ordinary Shares issued to PIPE Investor | | | 1,500,000 | | | | 4.7 | % |
Total | | | 31,709,747 | | | | 100.0 | % |
The proceeds from the Business Combination (net of transaction costs paid) are summarized below for the nine months ended September 30, 2024:
| | Amount | |
Proceeds from PIPE Investor | | $ | 15,000,000 | |
Proceeds from TWOA trust | | | 1,121,150 | |
Transaction costs paid in cash | | | (11,683,841 | ) |
Proceeds from Business Combination, net of transaction costs paid | | $ | 4,437,309 | |
Non-cash transaction costs
On August 14, 2024, the Company issued 90,000 Ordinary Shares to a nonemployee service provider to share-settle an accrued liability of $900,000 assumed as part of the Business Combination for services previously performed.

Reverse capitalization
As discussed in Note 1, the Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse capitalization in accordance with IFRS. The consolidated assets, liabilities and results of operations are those of LLP for all periods presented. As such, the basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share related to LLP prior to the Business Combination have been retroactively recast based on shares reflecting the exchange ratio established in the Business Combination.
Share listing expenses under IFRS 2
As further discussed in Note 1, since the Business Combination was accounted for in accordance with IFRS 2, the difference in the fair value of the shares deemed to have been issued by the accounting acquirer and the fair value of the accounting acquiree’s identifiable net assets represented a service received by the accounting acquirer, and thus was recognized as an expense upon consummation of the Business Combination.
Upon Closing, the excess fair value of the equity interests deemed to have been issued to TWOA as consideration over the fair value of TWOA’s identifiable net assets was recognized as listing expense in the amount of $0 and $44,469,613 in the condensed consolidated interim statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income (loss) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. The fair value of the equity interests was measured at the closing market price of TWOA’s publicly traded shares on March 26, 2024, which was $10.70 per share. See below for details.

On June 5, 2024, and June 6, 2024, the Company, certain Investors (the “Investors”) and certain Shareholders (the “Shareholders” and together with the Investors, the “Released Parties”) entered into a non-affiliate lock-up release agreement (as amended, each an “LR Agreement” and collectively, the “LR Agreements”), pursuant to which the Company and each Released Party agreed to waive certain lock-up restrictions provided for in (i) the letter agreement dated March 29, 2021 by and among TWOA and other relevant parties thereto and by a joinder agreement, the Investors or (ii) the letter agreement dated March 29, 2021 by and among TWOA and other relevant parties thereto and the Shareholders, as amended on August 15, 2023 and March 27, 2024, as applicable (the “Lock-up Release”, and the shares released pursuant to such Lock-up Release, the “Released Shares”).

The Company has three operating segments, based on geographic regions consisting of Colombia, Peru, and Costa Rica. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, in deciding how to allocate resources and assess the Company’s financial and operational performance. The CODM receives information and evaluates the business from a geographic perspective and reviews the Company’s internal reporting by geography in order to assess performance and allocate resources. As a result, the Company has determined the business operates in three distinct operating segments based on geography.
The three geographic segments, Colombia, Peru, and Costa Rica primarily derive revenue from various operating lease agreements with customers for the rental of warehouses. Each of these locations and corresponding operations are presented and managed and separately. The operating segments are each reportable segments, and aggregation of segments is not applied. Unallocated revenue consists of other revenue streams earned by operating subsidiaries that are not allocated to segments for CODM’s review. Unallocated expenses consist of certain corporate general and administrative expenses and financing costs for the bridge loan held by the parent entity that are not allocated to segments for CODM’s review.
There was no inter-segment revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.
The tables below present information by segment presented to the CODM and reconciliations to the Company’s consolidated amounts.
The Company evaluates the performance of its reportable segments based on net operating income. Segment net operating income consists of segment investment property rental revenue less segment investment property operating expense.

As of September 30, 2024, the Company obtained valuation reports from an independent appraiser in order to determine the fair value of its investment properties. Gains and losses arising from changes in the fair values are included in the condensed consolidated interim statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income (loss) in the period in which they arise.
In addition, for financial reporting purposes, fair value measurements are categorized into Level 1, 2 or 3 based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows:
| ● | Level 1 - Inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date. |
| | |
| ● | Level 2 - Inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and |
| | |
| ● | Level 3 - Inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, among others, statistics information, and own Company’s information, in some instances based on the information provided by some independent experts. |
As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, all owned investment properties are guaranteeing the Company’s debt.

Disclosed below is the valuation technique used to measure the fair value of investment properties, along with the significant unobservable inputs used.
Valuation Techniques - This fair value measurement is considered Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, except where otherwise noted below.
| - | Operating Properties - The valuation model considers a combination of the present value of net cash flows to be generated by the property, the direct capitalization of the net operating income, and the replacement cost to construct a similar property. |
| i. | The present value of net cash flows generated by the property takes into account the expected rental growth rate, vacancy periods, occupancy rate, lease incentive costs such as rent-free periods and other costs not paid by tenants. The expected net cash flows are discounted using risk adjusted discount rates. Among other factors, the discount rate estimation considers the quality of a building and its location, tenant credit quality and lease terms. |
| | |
| ii. | The direct capitalization method. This method involves capitalizing a fully leased net operating income estimate by an appropriate yield. This approach is best utilized with stabilized assets, where there is little volatility in the net income and the growth prospects are also stable. It is most commonly used with single tenant investments or stabilized investments. involves capitalizing the property net operating income at a market capitalization rate. The net operating income is determined by using the property Effective Gross Income (EGI) net of operating expenses. The EGI is determined by the property’s Potential Gross Income (PGI) through analysis of the property actual historic income and an analysis of competitive current market income rates and deducting the PGI with an estimate for vacancy and collection. |
| | |
| iii. | The cost approach. The cost approach involves the estimation of the replacement cost of the building and site improvements that a prudent and rational person would pay no more for a property than the cost to construct a similar and competitive property - assuming no undue delay in the process. |
| - | Properties Under Development - The valuation model considers the present value of net cash flows, direct capitalization, and the cost approaches adjusted by the net present value of the cost to complete and vacancy in the properties under construction. |
| | |
| - | Land Bank - The valuation model used for the land portfolio is a combination of sales comparison approach (or market approach), cost approach, residual land value approach and the discounted cash flow method. For undeveloped land, the market approach is used. For land that is under development, the market approach is used in conjunction with the cost approach and residual land value approach, and the discounted cash flow approach, to determine the fair value of the finished lots. |
| i. | The sales comparison approach. This approach compares sales or listing of similar properties with the subject property using the price per square feet (Level 2 input). This approach is given supporting weight in this analysis because of the well-supported range of value within this approach and the likelihood that the subject could be purchased by an owner-user. |
| | |
| ii. | The cost approach. This approach is based on the principle of substitution that a prudent and rational person would pay no more than the cost to construct a similar property. This approach generally considers estimated replacement cost of the land and the site improvements (e.g., infrastructure) and estimated depreciation accrued to the improvements (Level 2 input). |
| | |
| iii. | The residual land value approach. This approach involves residual amount after deducting all known or anticipated costs required to complete the development from the anticipated value of the project when completed after consideration of the risks associated with the completion of the project (Level 2 input). |

13. | EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE |
The Company determines basic earnings (loss) per share by dividing the profit (loss) for the period attributable to ordinary equity holders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. The Company computes diluted earnings (loss) per share by dividing the profit (loss) for the period attributable to ordinary equity holders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding combined with plus the incremental weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding that would be issued on conversion or settlement of all outstanding potentially dilutive instruments. There were 431,500 RSUs excluded from the diluted weighted average number of ordinary shares calculation for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 as their inclusion would be antidilutive. There were no potentially dilutive instruments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively.
The calculated basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, were as follows:

LPA is a foreign corporation organized in accordance with the laws of Cayman Islands and is not subject to income tax in the United States. LPA has a diversified portfolio, operating in Costa Rica, Colombia and Peru through various subsidiaries located in the local countries. The income tax rates applicable to the LPA in Costa Rica, Colombia and Peru are 30.0%, 35.0% and 29.5%, respectively.
The Company’s effective tax rates for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 were 32.9% and 67.2%, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rates for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 were (27.0)% and 42.0%, respectively. The effective income tax rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 were different than the local statutory income tax rates primarily due to the change in deferred tax assets or liabilities related to fluctuations in currency translation for investment properties and debt, movement in unrecognized deferred tax assets, foreign tax rate differential, alternative minimum tax in Colombia, and current income tax on intercompany dividends.
Employee benefits are recognized in general and administrative expense in the condensed consolidated interim statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income (loss), and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, consisted of the following:
| | Three months ended September 30, | | | Nine months ended September 30, | |

Short-term employee benefits | | $ | 1,820,011 | | | $ | 684,504 | | | $ | 5,350,438 | | | $ | 2,044,752 | |
In March 2024, the Company established the Logistic Properties of the Americas 2024 Equity Incentive Plan (“2024 Plan”) for all employees of the Company whereby LPA may grant options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights and other equity-based awards to attract and maintain key company personnel including directors, officers, employees, consultants, and advisors.
Equity-settled share-based payment transactions with parties other than employees
On August 14, 2024, the board of directors of the Company approved and granted the Company discretion to issue 90,000 ordinary shares to a nonemployee service provider to share-settle an accrued liability of $900,000 assumed as part of the Business Combination for services previously performed. The ordinary shares, once issued, will be fully vested. Such arrangement was accounted for as an equity-settled share-based payment arrangement. Equity-settled share-based payment transactions with nonemployees are measured at the fair value of the goods or services received. The fair value of the services received was determined to be $900,000 which represents the market price for such services. However, the $900,000 identifiable fair value of the services received by the Company was less than the $1,141,200 aggregate fair value of the ordinary shares granted on August 14, 2024, calculated based on 90,000 ordinary shares and a grant date fair value of $12.68 per share by reference to the traded price of the Company’s ordinary shares on such date. Therefore, the Company recognized the incremental identifiable consideration of $241,200, which represents the difference between the fair value of the share-based payment and the fair value of the identifiable services received as share-based expense. On August 30, 2024, the Company issued the 90,000 ordinary shares. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recognized share-based payment expense of $241,200 and $1,141,200, respectively, in other expenses in the condensed consolidated interim statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income (loss).
Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”)
Under the 2024 Plan, the Company granted RSUs to certain senior executives and board of directors who were previously employed by LLP and continued employment with LPA after the Business Combination, certain departing board of directors of LLP and certain newly hired senior executives and board of directors at LPA.
Each RSU represents the right for the employee to receive one LPA ordinary share upon vesting and settlement. No amounts are paid or payable to LLP by the recipient on the receipt of the RSUs. The RSUs carry neither rights to dividends nor voting rights prior to vesting or delivery of the underlying LPA ordinary shares. The Company’s board has a discretion to settle the RSUs in cash or shares but the Company has no intention of settling the RSUs in cash, and given that this is the first time the Company has granted RSUs, the Company does not have a past practice of cash settlement. The Company accounts for the RSUs as equity-settled awards.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company granted a total of 112,500 RSUs to former LLP and current LPA board of directors that were fully vested upon grant; however, the delivery of the underlying ordinary shares will occur at a future date based solely on the passage of time. The grant date fair value of these awards accounts for the impact of the delayed delivery schedules and compensation cost for these awards recognized immediately upon grant. The Company also granted 319,000 RSUs to former LLP and current LPA senior executives. Of those RSUs, 121,000 shares shall vest in equal annual increments over a 3-year service vesting period and compensation cost is recognized using the accelerated attribution method. The remaining 198,000 RSUs shall cliff vest at the end of a three-year service vesting period, and compensation cost is recognized ratably over the vesting period.
RSUs are measured at grant date fair value by reference to the traded price of LPA’s ordinary shares. The Company does not expect to declare any dividends in the near future. Therefore, no expected dividends were incorporated into the measurement of the grant date fair value. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recognized share-based payment expense related to the RSUs of $555,323 and $1,695,541, respectively, in general and administrative expense in the condensed consolidated interim statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income (loss).
Details of the RSUs outstanding during the period are as follows:
| | | | Number of RSUs | | | Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value per RSU | |
| | Non-vested at December 31, 2023 | | | — | | | | — | |
| | Granted | | | 431,500 | | | $ | 9.80 | |

| | Forfeited | | | — | | | | — | |
| | Non-vested at September 30, 2024 | | | 319,000 | | | $ | 9.70 | |
| (a) | Director Transaction and Retention RSUs – 112,500 RSUs granted to former LLP and current LPA board of directors were legally vested upon grant. However, the delivery of the underlying ordinary shares is subject to delayed delivery schedules, and therefore, these RSUs remain unsettled as of September 30, 2024. As the grantees do not have any shareholder rights until the ordinary shares are physically delivered, the shares shall be excluded from the basic earnings per share denominator. |
There was no RSU activity under the 2024 Plan in prior periods and the Company did not enter into any other types of share-based payment arrangements.

18. | FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT |
Interest rate risk - Interest rate risk is the risk that the future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company’s exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to its long-term debt obligations with floating interest rates. Therefore, variations in interest rates at the reporting date would affect profit or loss.
Liquidity Risk – Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, to the extent possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring in unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company’s reputation, and to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of bank deposits and loans.
Exposure to Liquidity Risk – The following tables detail the remaining contractual maturities of financial liabilities at the end of reporting period. The amounts are gross and undiscounted cash flows and include contractual interest payments.
