NOTE 18 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Contingencies

 

The Company may be involved in certain legal proceedings, claims and disputes arising from the commercial operations, which, in general, are subject to uncertainties and in which the outcomes are not predictable. The Company determines whether an estimated loss from a contingency should be accrued by assessing whether a loss is deemed probable and can be reasonably estimated. Although the Company can give no assurances about the resolution of pending claims, litigation or other disputes and the effect such outcomes may have on the Company, the Company believes that any ultimate liability resulting from the outcome of such proceedings, to the extent not otherwise provided or covered by insurance, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets or results of operations or liquidity as at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, except the one discussed below.

 

Litigation

 

On July 8, 2024, the Company received a final judgment from the trial court in the lawsuit filed by Taizhou Nebula Power Co, Ltd. (“Nebula”) on September 15, 2020. The final judgment awarded Nebula $3,334,542 in damages, $1,436,809 in attorneys’ fees and other court costs, and $1,146,169 in interest on balances from September 15, 2020. In connection with this judgment, the Company recorded an additional accrual of $3,573,651 as of September 30, 2024, bringing the total accrual related to this lawsuit to approximately $5.9 million. The Company filed an appeal in August 2024.
