Jamestown Energy Services Agreement
The Company has a commitment of approximately $28 million related to the energy services agreement for its Jamestown, North Dakota hosting facility.

The commitment is fully due within the next fiscal year, as the company commits to specific power consumption on an annual basis as part of the energy services agreement.

As discussed in Note 3 - Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies, the Company is required to maintain these amounts in separate accounts, and therefore the cash is restricted.

As of May 31, 2023 and 2022, there were no pending or threatened lawsuits that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the results of the Company’s consolidated operations. There are also no legal proceedings in which any of the Company’s management or affiliates is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to the Company’s interest.
