NOTE 9 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

The Company is currently in the process of applying for sales tax registrations and exemptions in different states in the U.S. At this stage, the Company is unable to determine the financial impact of sales tax.

 

The determination of tax liabilities involves significant judgement as well as the application of complex tax laws and regulations. As of the reporting date, certain income tax matters are uncertain and cannot be reliably estimated for the subsidiaries under both the U.S. and Australian tax jurisdictions for the current and prior periods. The Company has not recorded any tax liabilities or benefits pertaining to these subsidiaries for the period.

 

Mr. James Manning who stepped down as Chief Executive Officer of the Company, effective May 22, 2023, had agreed with Mawson AU that he would be issued 1.35 million RSUs and his other RSU agreements and entitlements would be cancelled, as set forth in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed May 22, 2023. However, at the request of Mr. James Manning these RSUs were not issued as set out in the relevant agreement and have not been included in the above table. Mr. James Manning has subsequently demanded these RSUs be issued, but as at the date of this report, the Company has not done so, because the Company is not obligated to issue the RSUs. The Company’s board of directors are also considering issues and matters concerning and related to Mr. Manning and the relevant action(s) to be taken. The directors of Mawson AU have appointed administrators to Mawson AU. Voluntary administration is a process under Australian corporate law where an external administrator is appointed to take control of the relevant entity, investigate and report to creditors about the relevant entity’s business, property, affairs and financial circumstances, and report on the options available to creditors.
