Reliance on Manufacturing in Foreign Countries and the Importation of Equipment to the Jurisdictions in Which the Company Operates
The Company relies on third party manufacturers in foreign jurisdictions for its Miners. As a result, the Company’s business is subject to risks associated with doing business in such foreign jurisdictions, including, but not limited to: trade protection measures such as the imposition of or increase in tariffs, import and export licensing and control requirements; potentially negative consequences from changes in tax laws (both foreign and domestic); difficulties associated with transacting business with parties in a foreign jurisdiction, including increased costs and uncertainties associated with enforcing contractual obligations; and unexpected or unfavorable changes in other regulations and applicable regulatory requirements.
For example, in 2018 and 2019, the U.S. enacted tariffs (or increased existing tariffs) on certain items imported from other countries. Following their enactment, the tariffs sparked an international trade war in which other countries enacted tariffs on imports of U.S. goods. Subsequently, the U.S. and various countries subject to those tariffs have engaged in trade negotiations and, in some instances, agreed to suspend or terminate certain tariffs. It is uncertain whether treaties or other trade policies like those will be enacted or modified by the U.S. or any other government or trade organization in the future. Future changes to trade or investment policies, treaties and tariffs, fluctuations in exchange rates, or the perception that these changes could occur could adversely affect third party manufacturers on which the Company relies, as well as the future of the Company’s relationships with those third-party manufacturers, which could have an adverse impact on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, actions by foreign markets to implement further trade policy changes, including limiting foreign investment or trade, increasing regulatory scrutiny or taking other actions that apply to the jurisdictions in which the Company operates or in which third parties with which the Company does business operate, could negatively impact the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
