18. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Legal Proceedings

 

From time to time, the Company may be a party to various legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company accrues costs associated with these matters when they become probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Legal costs incurred in connection with loss contingencies are expensed as incurred.

 

Contingent Consideration Liabilities

 

Unifi Transaction

 

As part of the Unifi Transaction (See Note 4. Acquisition), the Company may be required to make additional contingent payments to the seller based on the timing and availability of electric service to the property, as follows:

 

  A contingent payment of $8 million may become payable if, within two years of the acquisition date, the Company uses commercially reasonable efforts and obtains from the local energy provider an Electric Service Agreement for at least 99 megawatts (MW), or if the property otherwise receives 99 MW of power within that timeframe.

 

  If an Electric Service Agreement for at least 99 MW is provided, or the property receives 99 MW of power within three years, the Company may instead be required to make a contingent payment of $5 million.

 

  If an Electric Service Agreement is provided, or the property receives more than 99 MW of power within four years, the Company may be required to make an additional payment of $200,000 per MW in excess of 99 MW, up to a maximum of $5 million.

 

As of June 30, 2026 the Company has not received an Electric Service Agreement of more than 99 MW. Thus, no contingent payment is payable as of the reporting date.

 

Electric Service Agreement with Duke Energy

 

An existing Electric Service Agreement (“ESA”) with Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC (“Duke Energy”) for the provision of electric power to the facility located at 805 Island Drive, Madison, North Carolina was assigned to the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Enovum NC-1 Bidco LLC, from Unifi as of August 4, 2025.

 

The ESA establishes a minimum monthly bill for electric service, based on Duke Energy’s Rate of $8,754, irrespective of actual usage levels. In addition to standard service, Duke Energy has installed and maintains “Extra Facilities” (including overhead lines, substations, transformers, breakers, and metering equipment). The cost of these Extra Facilities totals approximately $1,137,975, for which the Company pays a monthly facilities charge of $11,405.

 

The ESA represents a continuing commitment to purchase power at or above the established minimum levels throughout the contract term. As such, the Company is obligated to pay the minimum monthly charges regardless of operational activity.

 

Under the termination clause, either party may cancel the ESA with at least 60 days’ written notice. In the event of early termination, the Company remains liable for all amounts due under the ESA through the termination date and may incur additional charges associated with the Extra Facilities if service is discontinued prior to the expiration of the facilities term.

 

On July 15, 2026, the Company obtained a $3 million surety bond from Great American Insurance Company in favor of Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC. The surety bond serves as security for the Company’s payment obligations and may be drawn upon if the Company fails to remit payment to Duke Energy within 30 days after receiving a demand for payment.

 

As of June 30, 2026 management has no present intention to reduce operations at Madison or terminate the ESA. Accordingly, no liability has been recognized in the financial statements in connection with the ESA.
