FORAFRIC GLOBAL PLC AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

JUNE 30, 2023

 

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

Nature of Operations - Forafric Global PLC and Subsidiaries (the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”), formerly known as Forafric Agro Holdings Limited, 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”).

 

These condensed consolidated financial statements are the condensed 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 21 — Related Parties for further information regarding the Company’s related party transactions.

 

On June 9, 2022 (the “Closing Date”), Forafric Agro Holdings Limited (“FAHL”), consummated the previously announced business combination and related transactions pursuant to a securities purchase agreement, dated December 19, 2021 (“Business Combination Agreement”) which provides for the Business Combination (as defined below) between FAHL and Globis Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Globis”).

 

Description of the Business Combination - In accordance with the Business Combination Agreement, the consummation of the following series of separate transactions took place (collectively, the “Business Combination”): (i) Globis formed a new holding company, Globis NV Merger Corp., a Nevada corporation (“Globis Nevada”), which changed its jurisdiction of incorporation by transferring by way of a redomiciliation and domesticating as a Gibraltar private limited company known as “Forafric Global Limited” (the “Redomiciliation”) and, following the Redomiciliation, altered its authorized and issued share capital and thereafter re-registering as a Gibraltar public company limited by shares and changed its name to “Forafric Global PLC” (referred to herein as “New Forafric”); (ii) New Forafric formed a new wholly-owned subsidiary, Globis NV Merger 2 Corp., a Nevada corporation (“Merger Sub”); (iii) Globis merged with and into Merger Sub, with Merger Sub surviving (the “Merger”); (iv) an agent was appointed to act on behalf of Globis stockholders such that, subject to and immediately following the completion of the Merger, the agent entered into a contribution and subscription agreement with New Forafric (the “Contribution Agreement”) pursuant to which the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Merger Sub issued pursuant to the Merger will be exchanged (the “Exchange”), on a one-for-one basis, for ordinary shares, nominal value $0.001 per share, of New Forafric (the “Ordinary Shares”); and (v) on June 9, 2022, New Forafric acquired 100% of the equity interests in FAHL from Lighthouse Capital Limited (“Seller”) and FAHL became a direct subsidiary of New Forafric.

 

Accounting Treatment - While the legal acquirer in the Business Combination is Globis, for financial accounting and reporting purposes under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), FAHL is the accounting acquirer with the Business Combination accounted for as a “reverse recapitalization.” A reverse recapitalization does not result in a new basis of accounting, and the financial statements of the combined entity represent the continuation of the financial statements of FAHL. Under this accounting method, Globis is treated as the “acquired” company and FAHL is the accounting acquirer, with the transaction treated as a recapitalization of FAHL. Globis’ assets, liabilities and results of operations were consolidated with FAHL beginning on the date of the Business Combination.

 

Except for certain derivative liabilities the assets and liabilities of Globis were recognized at historical cost and were not material, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. The derivative liabilities, which are related to forward share purchase agreements and contingent consideration, were recorded at fair value. The consolidated assets, liabilities, and results of operations of FAHL became the historical financial statements, and operations prior to the closing of the Business Combination presented for comparative purposes are those of FAHL. Pre-Combination shares of common stock were converted to shares of common stock of the combined company using the conversion ratio of 0.1713 and for comparative purposes, the shares and net loss per share of FAHL, prior to the Business Combination, have been retroactively restated using the conversion ratio.

(Continued)

 

Basis of Presentation - The accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, such statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring items) which are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company as of June 30, 2023, and for the six months ended June 30, 2023, and 2022. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2023, and 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year. It is suggested that these Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2022. The Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2022, has been derived from the Company’s audited Financial Statements.

 

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Significant Accounting Policies – The significant accounting policies used in preparing these condensed consolidated financial statements were applied on a basis consistent with those reflected in our consolidated financial statements that are included in the annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2022 that was filed with the SEC on May 1, 2023.

 

Use of Estimates - The preparation of our 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 consolidated financial statements.

 

Principles of Consolidation – The accompanying 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 considered. The accounts of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases.

 

Share-Based Compensation - Share-based awards principally comprise of stock options and cash-settled stock options, referred to as “phantom options”. Share-based awards are generally issued to certain senior management personnel. Share-based compensation cost (other than phantom options) is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period, which is the vesting period, on a straight-line basis. Our phantom options are accounted for as liability awards and are re-measured at fair value each reporting period with compensation expense being recognized over the requisite service period.

 

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the grant date fair value of its stock options and phantom options, respectively, as well as the fair value at each reporting period for liability classified awards. This model requires the Company to estimate the expected volatility and the expected term of the stock options, which are highly complex and subjective variables. The Company uses an expected volatility of its stock price during the expected life of the options that is based on the historical performance of the Company’s stock price as well as including an estimate using similar companies. The expected term is computed using the simplified method as the Company’s best estimate given its lack of actual exercise history. The Company has selected a risk-free rate based on the implied yield available on U.S. Treasury securities with a maturity equivalent to the expected exercise term of the stock option. The inputs to the valuation of phantom options are observable in the market, and as such are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The Company accounts for forfeitures of share-based awards as the occur.

Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions - The Company’s functional currency is the Moroccan dirham (“MAD”), 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 fiscal year. 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 consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

 

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.

 

Foreign currency forward contracts –The Company is exposed to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations in the normal course of its business, which the Company at times manages through the use of foreign currency forward contracts. The Company has entered into foreign currency forward contracts and accounts for these instruments in accordance with ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging,” which establishes accounting and reporting standards requiring that derivative instruments be recorded on the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at fair value. The Company’s foreign currency contracts are not designated as hedging instruments under ASC 815; accordingly, changes in the fair value are recorded in current period earnings. For more information, refer to Note 13 - Foreign currency forward contracts.

 

Fair Value Measurements – The Company follows the guidance in accounting standards codification (“ASC”) 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” for its financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at each reporting period. The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities).

 

The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used to value the assets and liabilities:

 

  - Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
     
  - Level 2: Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
     
  - Level 3: Unobservable inputs based on our assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

 

The Company’s financial instruments include cash equivalents, accounts receivable from customers, other receivables, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, all of which are typically short-term in nature. The Company believes that the carrying amounts of these financial instruments reasonably approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature.

 

The Company measures the derivative liability / asset related to foreign currency forward contracts at fair value on a recurring basis. Refer to Note 13 – Foreign currency forward contracts.

The Company measures the contingent consideration liability at fair value on a recurring basis beginning June 9, 2022 (the date of closing of the Business Combination) and December 31, 2022, and June 30, 2023. Refer to Note 14 – Contingent Consideration Liability for further information.

 

Emerging Growth Company Status – the Company is an emerging growth company (“EGC”), as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (“JOBS Act”). Under the JOBS Act, EGCs can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued until such time as those standards apply to private companies. The Company has elected to use this extended transition period. In providing this relief, the JOBS Act does not preclude the Company from adopting a new or revised accounting standard earlier than the time that such standard applies to private companies. The Company will continue to use this relief until the earlier of the date that it (a) is no longer an emerging growth company or (b) affirmatively and irrevocably opts out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act.

 

Reclassifications – Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

 

Liquidity and going concern - We incurred losses and had an accumulated deficit of $111,300 and $102,678 on June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, respectively. Historically, the Company’s primary sources of liquidity have been cash and cash equivalents, cash flows from operations (when available), and cash flows from financing activities, including funding under credit agreements.

 

The Company believes that cash on hand, as well as cash from operations and proceeds from extended credit lines will provide sufficient liquidity to fund operations for at least one year after the date the financial statements are issued. This projection is based on the Company’s current expectations regarding product sales, cost structure, cash burn rate and other operating assumptions.

 

3. RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

No accounting pronouncements issued or effective during the six months ended June 30, 2023 has had or is expected to have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

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.

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:

 

   June 30,   December 31, 
   2023   2022 
Operating leases   5.0%   5.0%
Finance leases    3.8%   6.1%

 

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.

 

The weighted-average remaining lease term of the Company’s leases were as follows:

 

   June 30,   December 31, 
   2023   2022 
Operating leases   5.3 years    6.4 years

In connection with the establishment of reporting segments for each reporting period, the Company allocated goodwill between reporting units using a relative fair value allocation approach.

 

Goodwill on the balance sheet resulted from the acquisition of wholly owned subsidiaries, the Tria Group and Maymouna Food Group, in 2015 and the acquisitions completed in 2021. The Company performed the annual impairment assessment as of December 31, 2022, which did not result in impairment losses.

Less current portion   (6,031)   (5,417)
Total long-term debt  $9,237   $9,828 

 

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.

 

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 $66 to $368. Interest on the Term Loans range from 5.5%-7.5% per annum. The Term Loans mature through 2034.

 

Lease Obligations

 

The Company owes $3,489 and $2,901 related to its leases as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Lease obligations are payable in monthly installments of principal and interest and are collateralized by the related assets financed.

13. FOREIGN CURRENCY FORWARD CONTRACTS

 

Our global operations require active participation in foreign exchange markets. From the beginning of 2023, the Company entered into foreign currency forward contracts to reduce the risk arising from foreign exchange rate fluctuations.

 

We do not utilize hedge accounting and as such value open foreign currency forward contracts at fair value with the change in unrealized gain or loss recorded in “Change in fair value of derivatives and contingent consideration” on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

FORAFRIC GLOBAL PLC AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

(Continued)

 

The Company had 58 foreign currency forward contracts outstanding as of June 30, 2023, with a notional value of $31.6 million and €32.4 million ($35.2 million), respectively. All of these contracts will expire by December 31, 2023. These instruments are typically short term in duration and as such are presented within current liabilities.

 

Foreign currency forward contracts are marked-to-market based on the difference between the forward rate and the exchange rate as of the reporting period; thus, the Company measures the fair value of these contracts under a Level 2 input.

 

The foreign currency forward contract liabilities totaled $1,614 at June 30, 2023. The Company recorded a loss on foreign exchange forward contracts of $1,614 for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

 

14. CONTINGENT CONSIDERATION LIABILITY

 

In accordance with the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, the Company will pay to the Seller 20% of any cash proceeds received by Company before the five-year anniversary of the Closing resulting from the exercise of Company Warrants outstanding as of the Signing Date.

 

The contingent consideration liability is included in “Contingent consideration liability” on the consolidated balance sheet. Changes in the fair value of the liability are included in “Change in fair value of derivatives and contingent consideration” on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

The Company utilized a probability weighted scenario-based model under level 3 to determine the fair value of the contingent consideration. Based on this valuation model, the Company determined the fair value of the contingent consideration to be $1,308 as of the Closing date and $1,268 as of June 30, 2023. The assumptions used in the analysis are inherently subjective; therefore, the ultimate amount of the liability may differ materially from the current estimate.

 

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the contingent consideration liability are measures of the estimated payouts over a five-year period based on internally generated financial projections on a probability-weighted basis and a discount rate which was in a range of 4.49% to 5.47% with a weighted average of 4.94% as of June 30, 2023.

 

The following table presents a summary of the changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration liability:

 

   (in thousands) 
June 9, 2022  $1,308 
Change in fair value   (48)
December 31, 2022  $1,260

June 30, 2023  $1,268 

 

15. INCOME TAXES

(Continued)

 

The Company’s effective tax rate was -8% and -21% for the six months ended June 30, 2023, and 2022, 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 six months ended as of June 30, 2023, and the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company has $12,313 and $12,021, respectively, as net operating losses that begin to expire within four years.

 

In assessing the realizability of these deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more-likely-than-not that some portion or all 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 for all losses to be carried forward indefinitely.

The weighted-average fair value of the phantom stock options for the period ended June 30, 2023 was $10.97. The liability for outstanding phantom stock options as of June 30, 2023 was $27 and is included in other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet.

 

As of June 30, 2023, the unrecognized compensation expense associated with the phantom options is $561 and it will be recognized over 30 months from the end of June 30, 2023.

 

The fair value of the phantom options at June 30, 2023 was estimated using the following assumptions:

 

Expected term   5 years 
Volatility   4.13%
Expected dividend yield   0.00%
Risk-free interest rate   61.74%

 

18. EARNINGS PER SHARE

 

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the number of weighted average ordinary shares outstanding during the reporting period. The Company’s weighted average number of shares outstanding used in calculating earnings per share are 26,879,114 and 21,566,289 for the periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Because there was no activity to cause dilution in the weighted average ordinary shares, basic and diluted earnings per share are disclosed together in each of the reporting periods.

 

The computation of diluted loss per share excludes the effect of earnout and option shares and warrants to purchase the Company’s shares because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

 

19. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Since February 2022, the quantity of soft wheat available on the international market has decreased by 35% due to the ongoing war in Ukraine, causing the price of raw materials to increase. Despite this situation, we have not had any shortages on raw materials, and do not project to have any issuing fulfilling future orders. We have no firm and irrevocable commitments that will be affected by the war in Ukraine, and we will continue to assess the impact the war may have on our business.

 

The Company entered into a five-year supply agreement with Millcorp Geneva SA (“Millcorp”), pursuant to which the Company is obligated to obtain at least 80% of the Company’s annual requirements of common wheat, durum wheat, or any other cereal, from Millcorp. The agreement expired on March 31, 2023 and was subsequently amended to extend through March 2026. Millcorp is currently providing 100% of the Company’s imported grain needs. The purchases incurred were $97,641, $126,065, and $90,302 for the periods ended June 30, 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively.
