The Company currently operates facilities in the United States of America and does not have operating sites in Australia.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements, including the results of Cosmos Trading Pty Ltd, Cosmos Infrastructure LLC (“Cosmos”), Cosmos Manager LLC, MIG No.1 Pty Ltd (“MIG No. 1”), MIG No.1 LLC, Mawson AU Pty Ltd (“Mawson AU”), Mawson Services Pty Ltd (“Mawson SPL”), Luna Squares LLC (“Luna Squares”), Mawson Bellefonte LLC, Luna Squares Repairs LLC, Luna Squares Property LLC (“Luna Property”), Mawson Midland LLC, Mawson Hosting LLC (“Mawson Hosting”), Mawson Ohio LLC and Mawson Mining LLC (collectively referred to as the “Group”), have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
NOTE 1 – GENERAL (Cont.)
These unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Group as of December 31, 2024, and the notes thereto, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 filed with the SEC on March 28, 2025, as amended by Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A filed with SEC on April 30, 2025 (the “2024 Form 10-K”). Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The results of the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2025. These unaudited consolidated, condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the financial position, the results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the periods presented.
Going Concern
The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue on a going concern basis and in accordance with GAAP. The going concern basis of presentation assumes that the Company will continue in operation one year after the date these financial statements are issued and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.
Pursuant to the requirements of the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 205-40,Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, management must evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the date these financial statements are issued. This evaluation does not take into consideration the potential mitigating effect of management’s plans that have not been fully implemented or are not within control of the Company as of the date the financial statements are issued. When substantial doubt exists under this methodology, management evaluates whether the mitigating effect of its plans sufficiently alleviates substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The mitigating effect of management’s plans, however, is only considered if both (1) it is probable that the plans will be effectively implemented within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued, and (2) it is probable that the plans, when implemented, will mitigate the relevant conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company incurred a net loss of $0.3 million, and as of March 31, 2025, had negative working capital of $36.7 million, had total negative net assets of $1.4 million and had an accumulated deficit of $229.1 million. The Company’s cash position as of March 31, 2025, was $5.5 million.
The Company’s revenue is dependent on a number of external factors, including commercial terms, payments from customers, payments from partners, counterparty risks, and market conditions, including those related to digital assets, AI, HPC and other markets. These factors are outside the Company’s direct control, and the Company may not be able to practically mitigate their impact. The Company cannot predict with any certainty whether these trends will reverse or persist. In addition, the Company’s equipment and infrastructure will require replacement over time as they come to the end of their useful lives to ensure that the Company can continue to operate competitively and efficiently.
The Company has ongoing litigation related to the Marshall Loan, W Capital Loan, Celsius Promissory Note and Celsius Colocation Agreement (each defined below). See Note 9 – Commitments and Contingencies.
NOTE 1 – GENERAL (Cont.)
The Company has evaluated the above conditions and concluded that these conditions raise substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least one year from the date of issuance of these unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements
To mitigate these conditions, the Company has explored various avenues to enhance liquidity, fund the Company’s expenditures, and meet debt servicing requirements. These strategies include, among others:
| ● | Expanding its digital infrastructure platform and increasing capacities for either digital colocation services and/or AI and HPC markets; |
| ● | Executing new customer digital colocation service agreements in either AI, HPC, and/or digital assets mining to diversify its exposure across customers and/or markets; |
| ● | Engaging in discussions with capital providers, relating to equity and/or debt; |
| ● | Considering equity issuances such as capital raises and at-the-market (“ATM”) transactions; |
| ● | Assessing and evaluating corporate and strategic transactions; |
| ● | Assessing and evaluating commercial opportunities or other business opportunities under consideration; |
| ● | Conducting assessments to identify and implement operational improvements and/or efficiencies and other actions aimed at enhancing revenue and/or optimizing expenses; and |
| ● | Evaluating, assessing and pursuing business revenue and margin expansion opportunities. |
On December 13, 2024, the Company entered into a Sales Agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with Roth Capital Partners, LLC (the “Lead Agent”) and A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners (collectively with the Lead Agent, the “Agents” and individually an “Agent”), to sell shares of our common stock, $0.001 par value per share (“Common Stock”) having an aggregate sales price of up to $12 million, from time to time, through an “at the market offering” program under which the Agents will act as sales agent.
Although the Company may have access to capital, debt, and/or other sources of funding, these may require additional time and cost, may impose operational restrictions and other covenants on the Company, may not be available on attractive terms, and may not be available at all. If the Company raises additional capital or debt, this could cause additional dilution to the Company’s stockholders. The terms of any future capital raise or debt issuance and the costs of any financing are uncertain and may be unfavorable to the Company. Should the Company be unable to source sufficient funding, the Company may not be able to realize assets at their recognized values and fulfill its liabilities in the normal course of business at the amounts stated in these unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements.
The Company obtains advice from outside resources; however, it is important to note that strategic and other initiatives may not lead to any transaction or other outcome.
These unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and other commitments in the normal course of business. They do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and carrying amounts of assets and the amounts of liabilities should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and meet its obligations and debts as and when they fall due.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Preparation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements of the Company include the accounts of the Company and its wholly or majority owned and controlled subsidiaries. Intercompany investments, balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Non–controlling interests represent the minority equity investment in the Company’s subsidiaries, plus the minority investors’ share of the net operating results and other components of equity relating to the non–controlling interest. As of March 31, 2025, the Company no longer holds non-controlling interests.
Any change in the Company’s ownership interest in a consolidated subsidiary, through additional equity issuances by the consolidated subsidiary or from the Company acquiring the shares from existing stockholders, in which the Company maintains control is recognized as an equity transaction, with appropriate adjustments to both the Company’s additional paid-in capital and the corresponding non-controlling interest.
Use of Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements, and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company has considered the following to be significant estimates made by management, including but not limited to, going concern assumptions, estimating the useful lives of fixed assets, realization of long-lived assets, unrealized tax positions, valuing the derivative asset classified under Level 3 fair value hierarchy, and the contingent obligation with respect to future revenues.
Revenue recognition
The Company recognizes revenue under ASC 606,Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The core principle of ASC 606 is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Five steps are required to be followed in evaluating revenue recognition: (i) identify the contract with the customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price; and (v) recognize revenue when or as the entity satisfies a performance obligation.
In order to identify the performance obligations in a contract with a customer, a company must assess the promised goods or services in the contract and identify each promised good or service that is distinct. A performance obligation meets ASC 606’s definition of a “distinct” good or service (or bundle of goods or services) if both of the following criteria are met: the customer can benefit from the good or service either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available to the customer (i.e., the good or service is capable of being distinct), and the entity’s promise to transfer the good or service to the customer is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract (i.e., the promise to transfer the good or service is distinct within the context of the contract).
Digital colocation revenue
The Company offers other businesses and customers the opportunity to colocate their specialized computers used in mining digital assets and other equipment within our facilities. The Company generates revenue from these customers for their use of our digital colocation services and facilities. This offering is known as “colocation” and can be customized and tailored for each customer’s situation and their and the Company’s strategy. For example, customers may agree to be charged upfront digital infrastructure fees, minimum fees, and maintenance fees. The Company charges colocation fees for the use of its facilities, and other related fees. In addition, digital colocation customers typically pay for energy used in connection with the customer colocation services agreement on a pass-through basis, which may be on a fixed or variable basis calculated on the portion of energy used by the customer on the site. The Company satisfies the performance obligation when the customer has the ability to direct the use and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits of the good or service. Revenue is recognized over time as customers simultaneously receive and consume the benefits because another party would not need to substantially reperform the work completed by the Company were that other party to fulfill the remaining performance obligation to the customer. Revenue is recognized upon confirmation of the Company’s power usage by the electricity provider and billed at the rates outlined in each customer contract on a monthly basis.
The customer contracts contain variable consideration to be allocated to and recognized in the period to which the consideration relates. Usually this is when it is invoiced, rather than obtaining an estimation of variable consideration at the beginning of the customer contracts.
Revenue recognition (Cont.)
Energy management revenue
The Company has developed several energy management program capabilities and has an energy management business to generate revenue when the Company adapts its power usage to the real-time needs of the power grid. Energy management revenue consists of revenue for curtailing power, and through a power pricing arrangement.
Revenue for curtailing power is recognized over the period that the services are being provided. The Company estimates the amount of curtailable power and the expected payment for that curtailment and recognizes revenue based on the proportion of the service that has been provided. In this arrangement, the Company is considered the principal and revenue is recognized on a gross basis.
Revenue through the Company’s power pricing arrangement is recognized over the period that the services are being provided. The Company estimates the amount of energy available for sale and the expected payment for that energy, and recognizes revenue based on the proportion of the service that has been provided. In this arrangement, the Company is considered the principal and revenue is recognized on a gross basis.
Digital assets mining revenue
The Company has a contract with mining pools and has undertaken the performance obligation of providing computing power in exchange for non-cash consideration in the form of digital assets. The provision of computing power is the only performance obligation in the Company’s contract with its pool operators. Where the consideration received is variable (for example, due to payment only being made upon successful mining), it is recognized when it is highly probable that the variability is resolved, which is generally when the digital asset is received.
The Company measures the non-cash consideration received at the fair market value of the digital asset received. Management estimates fair value on a daily basis, as the quantity of digital assets received multiplied by the price quoted on the exchange that the Company uses to dispose of digital assets.
Equipment sales
The Company has earned revenues from the sale of equipment and/or infrastructure (collectively, “Hardware”). Revenue from the sale of Hardware is recognized upon transfer of control of the Hardware to the customer. At the date of sale, the net book value is expensed in cost of revenues.
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment (“PP&E”) are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. All other repair and maintenance costs are charged to operating expenses as incurred. The present value of the expected cost for the decommissioning of an asset after its use is included in the cost of the respective asset if the recognition criteria for a provision are met. PP&E transferred from customers is initially measured at the fair value at the date on which control is obtained.
PP&E are depreciated on a straight-line or declining balance basis based on the asset classification, over their useful lives to the economic entity commencing from the time the assets arrive at their destination where they are ready for use. Low-cost assets are capitalized and immediately depreciated. Depreciation is calculated over the following estimated useful lives:
| Asset class | Useful life | Depreciation Method |
|---|---|---|
| Fixtures | 5 years | Straight-Line |
| Plant and equipment | 10 years | Straight-Line |
| Modular data center | 5 years | Declining |
| Motor vehicles | 5 years | Straight-Line |
| Computer equipment | 3 years | Straight-Line |
| Computational and Processing machinery (Miners) | 2 years | Straight-Line |
| Transformers | 15 years | Straight-Line |
| Leasehold improvements | Shorter of useful life or lease term | Straight-Line |
PP&E are derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset is included in the consolidated statement of operations.
The residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation of PP&E are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.
The Company’s long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. If such an asset is considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.
Fair value of financial instruments:
The Company accounts for financial instruments under ASC 820,Fair Value Measurements. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date in a principal or most advantageous market. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements, ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels as follows:
Level 1**—**quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 — observable inputs other than Level 1, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, and model-derived valuations whose significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and
Level 3 — assets and liabilities whose significant value drivers are unobservable.
Observable inputs are based on market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs are based on the Company’s market assumptions. Unobservable inputs require significant management judgment or estimation. In some cases, the inputs used to measure an asset or liability may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those instances, the fair value measurement is required to be classified using the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Such determination requires significant management judgment.

Level 3 Assets:
In June 2022, the Company entered into a power supply agreement (“PSA”) with Energy Harbor LLC (“Energy”), the energy supplier to the Company’s Midland, Pennsylvania facility, to provide the delivery of a fixed portion of the total amount of electricity for a fixed price through December 2026. There were five amendments to PSA entered into in November 2023, December 2023, January 2024, April 2024 and May 2024. All the amendments were to purchase additional electricity at a fixed price for the months of December 2023, January 2024, February 2024, April 2024, May 2024 and June 2024. If the Midland, Pennsylvania facility uses more electricity than contracted, the cost of the excess is incurred at a new price quoted by Energy.
While the Company participates in energy management programs at its Midland, Pennsylvania facility, the Company does not consider such actions as trading activities. That is, the Company does not engage in speculation in the power market as part of its ordinary activities. Because the sale of any electricity under a curtailment program allows for net settlement, the Company has determined the PSA meets the definition of a derivative under ASC 815,Derivatives and Hedging. However, because the Company has the ability to sell the power back to the grid rather than take physical delivery, physical delivery is not probable through the entirety of the contract and therefore, the Company does not believe the normal purchases and normal sales scope exception applies to the PSA. Accordingly, the PSA (the non-hedging derivative contract) is recorded at estimated fair value each reporting period with the change in the fair value recorded in “change in fair value of derivative asset” in the consolidated statements of operations.
The PSA was classified as a derivative asset beginning in the quarter ended September 30, 2022, and measured at fair value on the date of the PSA, with changes in fair value recognized in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The estimated fair value of the Company’s derivative asset is classified in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy due to the significant unobservable inputs utilized in the valuation. Specifically, the Company’s discounted cash flow estimation models contain quoted commodity exchange spot and forward prices and are adjusted for basis spreads for load zone-to-hub differentials through the term of the PSA, which expires in December 2026. In addition, the Company adopted a discount rate of approximately 20% above the terminal value of the observable market inputs, but also includes unobservable inputs based on qualitative judgment related to company-specific risk factors. The terms of the PSA require pre-payment of collateral, calculated as forward cost based on the market cost rate of electricity versus the fixed price stated in the contract.
Stock based compensation
The Company follows ASC 718-10,Compensation-Stock Compensation. The Company expenses stock-based compensation to directors, employees, and non-employees over the requisite service period based on the grant-date fair value of the awards. The Company determines the grant-date fair value of options using the Trinomial Lattice Method. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-based awards represent management’s best estimates and involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. These assumptions are the expected stock volatility, the risk–free interest rate, the expected life of the option, and the expected forfeiture rate. Expected volatility computes stock price volatility over expected terms based on its historical common stock trading prices. Risk–free interest rates are calculated based on the yield of a 3-year or 5-year United States Treasury constant maturity bond, depending on the agreement.
Segment Reporting
Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), or decision–making group in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.
The Company operates asone operating segment and uses net income as a measure of profit or loss on a consolidated basis in making decisions regarding resource allocation and performance assessment. Additionally, the Company’s CODM regularly reviews the Company’s expenses on a consolidated basis. The financial metrics used by the CODM help make key operating decisions, such as determination of purchases and significant acquisitions and allocation of budget between cost of revenues, general and administrative and research and development expenses. The Company does not evaluate performance or allocate resources based on segment assets, and therefore such information is not presented in the notes to the financial statements. We currently operate in one segment.
Recent accounting pronouncements
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) or other standard setting bodies and adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations upon adoption.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-08, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Crypto Assets (Topic 3580-60): Accounting for and Disclosure of Crypto Assets. Under the new guidance, an entity would be required to subsequently measure certain crypto assets at fair value, with changes in fair value included in net income in each reporting period. The proposed set of rules would also require presentation of crypto assets and related fair value changes separately in the balance sheet and income statement and require various disclosures in interim and annual periods. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2023-08 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements since the Company’s policy is to dispose of bitcoin received from mining operations at the earliest opportunity, therefore the holding period is minimal, usually no more than a few days. ASU 2023-08 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted ASU 2023-08 on January 1, 2025.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The new FASB guidance requires incremental disclosures in annual and interim periods related to a public entity’s reportable segments (particularly on segment expenses) but does not change the definition of a segment, the method for determining segments, or the criteria for aggregating operating segments into reportable segments. The new guidance is effective for annual financial statements of public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 (e.g., in 2024 year-end financial statements for calendar year entities) and in interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 (e.g., in 2025 interim financial statements for calendar year entities) and should be adopted retrospectively unless impracticable. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 in 2024.
NOTE 3 – AUSTRALIAN SUBSIDIARIES DECONSOLIDATION
The Company currently operates facilities in the United States of America and does not have operating sites in Australia.
MIG No.1
Liquidation and Deconsolidation of an Australian entity MIG No. 1
On March 19, 2024, the Company’s subsidiary MIG No.1, an Australian entity, was placed into an Australian court appointed liquidation due to it being deemed insolvent in Australia. The liquidation of an insolvent company in Australia allows an independent registered Australian liquidator (the liquidator) to take control of the Australian entity so its affairs can be wound up in an orderly and fair way and to benefit creditors. In the instance of MIG No.1, it is an Australian court liquidation, where a liquidator is appointed by the Australian court to wind up a company following an application (by a creditor of MIG No.1). As a result of this court appointed liquidation, the Company ceded authority for managing this Australian entity to the Australian liquidator, and the Company could not carry on MIG No.1’s activities in the ordinary course of business. For these reasons, it was concluded that the Company had ceded control of MIG No.1, and no longer had significant influence over this Australian entity since the liquidator was in control of this Australian entity. Therefore, MIG No.1 loss of control was effective when it was placed into Australian court appointed liquidation on March 19, 2024, and was deconsolidated at this date, in accordance with ASC 810-10-15. In order to deconsolidate this Australian entity, MIG No.1, the carrying values of the assets, liabilities and equity components previously recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income of MIG No.1 were removed from the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of March 19, 2024, in accordance with ASC 810,Consolidation. The net impact of removing the assets and liabilities resulted in a loss on deconsolidation of $12.4 million being recorded in the consolidated statement of operations.
Investment in MIG No.1
The investment in MIG No. 1 held by the Company was accounted for under ASC 321,Investments — Equity Securities as it was concluded the Company did not have significant influence over MIG No. 1 from March 19, 2024. At the time of the deconsolidation, the fair value of MIG No.1 was estimated to be $0 and MIG No.1 had negative equity.
Australian entity MIG No.1 Secured Loan Facility Agreement
MIG No. 1 is party to a Secured Loan Facility Agreement (the “Marshall Loan”) with Marshall. Investments GCP Pty Ltd ATF for the Marshall Investments MIG Trust (collectively, “Marshall”). The Marshall Loan matured in February 2024 and the total outstanding balance is $10.4 million as of March 31, 2025. The Company is included as a guarantor of this loan. See Note 8 – Loans for additional information.
NOTE 4 – BASIC AND DILUTED NET LOSS PER SHARE
Net loss per common share is calculated in accordance with ASC 260,Earnings Per Share. Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus the dilutive effect of unvested restricted stock units (“RSUs”), and outstanding warrants and options. The computation of diluted net loss per share does not include dilutive common stock equivalents in the weighted average shares outstanding, as they would be anti-dilutive.
Securities that could potentially dilute loss per share in the future that were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share as of March 31, 2025 and 2024, are as follows:
| As of March 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Warrants to purchase Common Stock | 4,480,839 | 4,904,016 |

NOTE 7 – INCOME TAXES
The Company records income taxes using the asset and liability method. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax effects attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective income tax bases, and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. The Company establishes a valuation allowance if management believes it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be recovered based on an evaluation of objective verifiable evidence. Management has considered the Company’s history of book and tax income and losses incurred since inception, and the other positive and negative evidence, and has concluded that it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize the benefits of the net deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2025.
The Company recorded income tax (benefit) expense of approximately (54.80)% and 0.30% of loss before income tax (benefit) expense for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

As of March 31, 2025, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits and does not anticipate any significant change to the unrecognized tax benefit balance.** **
NOTE 8 – LOANS
Marshall Loan
The Company is included as a guarantor of the Marshall Loan. The loan matured in February 2024 and bears interest at a rate of 12% per annum (with an overdue rate provision of an additional 500bps), payable monthly with interest payments that commenced in December 2021. This loan facility is secured by direct assets of MIG No. 1 and a general security agreement given by the Company. Principal repayments began during November 2022. The outstanding balance including interest is $10.4 million as of March 31, 2025, all of which is classified as a current liability. There have been no principal or interest payments made since May 2023. See Note 9 – Commitments and Contingencies, Marshall Loan and W Capital Loan.
W Capital Loan
The Company is included as a guarantor of a Secured Loan Facility Agreement (the “W Capital Loan”) for working capital by Mawson PL with W Capital Advisors Pty Ltd for the W Capital Advisors Fund (collectively, “W Capital”). As of March 31, 2025, AUD $2.2 million (USD $1.3 million) has been drawn down from this facility, all of which is classified as a current liability. The W Capital Loan accrues interest daily at a rate of 12% per annum (with an overdue rate provision of an additional 800bps). The W Capital Loan expired in March 2023. See Note 9 – Commitments and Contingencies, Marshall Loan and W Capital Loan.
Celsius Promissory Note
On February 23, 2022, Luna Squares entered into a Digital Colocation Agreement (the “Digital Colocation Agreement”) with Celsius Mining LLC. In connection with this agreement, Celsius Mining LLC loaned Luna Squares a principal amount of $20.0 million, for the purpose of funding the infrastructure required to meet the obligations of the Digital Colocation Agreement, for which Luna Squares issued a Secured Promissory Note (the “Celsius Promissory Note”) for repayment of such amount. The Celsius Promissory Note accrues interest daily at a rate of 12% per annum (with an overdue rate provision of an additional 200bps). Luna Squares is required to amortize the loan at a rate of 15% per quarter, principal repayments began at the end of September 2022. The Celsius Promissory Note had a maturity date of August 23, 2023. The outstanding balance, including interest, is $9.9 million as of March 31, 2025, all of which is currently classified as a current liability. See Note 9 – Commitments and Contingencies, Celsius Promissory Note and Digital Colocation Agreement.
Convertible Notes
On July 8, 2022, the Company issued secured convertible promissory notes to investors in exchange for cash. The outstanding balance relates to the interest on the convertible note which has been accrued from July 2022 onwards and therefore the outstanding balance is $0.1 million as of March 31, 2025, all of which is classified as a current liability. On March 28, 2024, the Company was made a defendant in a civil suit before the Supreme Court of NSW in Sydney Australia, in the matter entitled W Capital Advisors Pty Ltd in its capacity as trustee for the W Capital Advisors Fund v. Mawson Infrastructure Group, Inc., alleging a claim to seek USD $0.2 million as unpaid interest under a convertible note after the Company paid in full the principal of $0.5 million, and AUD $0.3 million under a loan deed, plus interest and costs for sums due claiming corporate guarantee by the Company under a Variation Deed to Loan Deed dated September 29, 2022, executed by its Australian entity, Mawson PL. The Company sought dismissal of the Australian proceedings arguing jurisdiction of any claims against the Company should be in the United States as set forth in the agreements between the parties. Despite its objections, on May 31, 2024, the Australian court ruled in favor of the Australian claimant and rendered a judgment against the Company under Australian law for US $0.2 million as unpaid interest plus interest and costs for sums due.
NOTE 9 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company accounts for its contingent liabilities in accordance with ASC 450Contingencies. A provision is recorded when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred, and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. With respect to legal matters, provisions are reviewed and adjusted to reflect the impact of negotiations, estimated settlements, legal rulings, advice of legal counsel and other information and events pertaining to a particular matter. Legal costs incurred in connection with loss contingencies are expensed as incurred.
The Company is subject to the various legal proceedings and claims discussed below (and in Note 1) that have not been fully resolved and that have arisen in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, there was not at least a reasonable possibility the Company may have incurred a material loss, or a material loss in excess of a recorded accrual, with respect to loss contingencies. However, the outcome of legal proceedings and claims brought against the Company is subject to significant uncertainty. Therefore, although management considers the likelihood of such an outcome to be remote, if one or more of these legal matters were resolved against the Company in a reporting period for amounts in excess of management’s expectations, the Company’s consolidated financial statements for that reporting period could be materially adversely affected.
Marshall Loan and W Capital Loan
The Marshall Loan was entered into with an Australian entity MIG No.1, which was placed into a court appointed liquidation and wind-up process and was deconsolidated from the Group on March 19, 2024. On March 19, 2024, Marshall appointed receivers and managers in Australia under the terms of their security relating to their secured loan facility. The direct assets that secure this loan include 5,372 miners and 8 MDCs. These assets are held by MIG No.1 and therefore were included in the deconsolidation. The receiver’s statutory duty includes the obligation to sell the secured assets at market value or, if market value is not known, at the best price reasonably obtainable to maximize the prospects of there being sufficient proceeds available to satisfy the balance of the outstanding secured debt. It is therefore expected that this loan balance will be offset in the future by the amount received from the sale of these miners and MDCs. On June 25, 2024, Marshall inspected and inventoried the miners and MDCs located at the Company’s Midland facilities. The Company had asked Marshall to take these assets out of the Company’s facilities. Marshall has not responded to the Company’s request for these miners and MDCs to be removed from the Company’s facilities. The Company is reserving all its rights and remedies against Marshall.
The W Capital Loan was originally with Mawson PL and this Australian entity was placed into Australian voluntary administration on October 30, 2023 and on November 3, 2023, W Capital appointed receivers and managers in Australia under the terms of their security relating to their working capital facility. The Company has corresponded with W Capital and/or its representatives, the Company’s ongoing significant concerns about W Capital and James Manning, a former board director and Chief Executive Officer of the Company (“Manning”), being related parties. W Capital has not responded to the Company’s concerns in a manner satisfactory to the Company.
On October 3, 2024, a proceeding was filed by W Capital and Marshall against the Company before the Federal Court of Australia, New South Wales (the “Australian Court”), in the matter entitledW Capital Advisors Pty Ltd, in its capacity as Trustee for the W Capital Advisors Fund, v. Mawson Infrastructure Group, Inc., No. NSD 1395/2024. In an effort to force the Company to pay the W Capital Loan and the Marshall Loan, W Capital and Marshall sought to have the Company declared insolvent under Australian law on the grounds that the Company failed to pay W Capital the sums it claims the Company owed it under the aforesaid Australian judgment. On February 11, 2025, the Australian Court declared that Mawson be “wound up” under Australian law. However, Mawson has no assets, revenue or other business in Australia subject to Australian jurisdiction. It is unclear as to any adverse effect this ruling has on Mawson in the US. This Australian ruling completely disregarded the automatic stay in place as established by the involuntary Chapter 11 petition. The Company has communicated its objections and concerns to these Australian liquidator and entities.
Concurrently with the above Australian litigation, on December 4, 2024, Marshall, W Capital, and Rayra Pty Ltd, as Trustee for the Mountainview Trust (“Rayra” and together with Marshall and W Capital, collectively, the “Petitioners”), all Australian entities, concurrently filed an involuntary petition (the “Involuntary Petition”) in the matter entitledIn Re Mawson Infrastructure Group, Alleged Debtor, Case No. 1:24-bk-12726, under chapter 11 (“Chapter 11”) of title 11, 11 U.S.C. § 101 through 1330 (the “Bankruptcy Code”), seeking a determination of the court to force the Company into a Chapter 11 proceeding. The Petitioners have claimed in the Involuntary Petition that they have debts aggregating AUD$13.7 million (approximately USD$8.9 million). The Company is disputing this and the validity of the Involuntary Petition and the Petitioners’ debt claims, and expects to and seek other remedies against the Petitioners for bad faith, pursue sanctions, and other damages as may be allowed by applicable law. On January 10, 2025, the Company filed an answer to the Involuntary Petition. No order for relief has been entered by the Delaware Bankruptcy Court to date, and we continue to operate in the ordinary course of business as authorized pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 303(f). Nonetheless, under applicable federal law, all collection efforts by the Company’s creditors, including W Capital and Marshall, are stayed pending final resolution of the Involuntary Petition.
NOTE 9 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (Cont.)
The matter continues in discovery phase. Both parties have filed pretrial motions seeking various remedies including dismissal prior to trial, sanctions and attorney fees, which are pending. A motion to compel discovery was filed by Mawson and was heard on May 9, 2025. On May 9, 2025, the Court granted Mawson’s motions for discovery from the Petitioners and paved pathway for discovery of Manning—including from Australia if needed. The Court further directed the parties to mediate and agreed to reach out to a sitting judge to act as mediator. Celsius made an appearance on its motions for sanctions and requested to be part of the mediation as well, which the Court allowed. The Court denied Celsius’ previously filed motion for sanctions. The trial date has been continued indefinitely to allow for the completion of discovery and the opportunity for the parties to mediate.
As previously noted, the Company believes that W Capital and Marshall are using these proceedings in Australia and the United States as a bad faith attempt to gain leverage in ongoing legal disputes between the parties.
The Company believes that W Capital and Marshall were using the Involuntary Petition and the Australian insolvency proceedings against the Company in an improper attempt to gain leverage in ongoing legal disputes between the parties. The Company believes that the filing of the Involuntary Petition is an extension of the ongoing disputes, including with Manning, and a continuation of the pattern of bad faith actions, by Manning and the Petitioners, with the improper intention of harassing and intimidating the Company.
The Company’s counsel plans to propound discovery requests to the Petitioners, including the depositions of the Petitioners’ principals. In addition, Manning, who the Company believes has close ties to these Australian creditors, remains the subject of an investigation by the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors, including related to his dealings with W Capital, current litigation with an entity related to Manning, Vertua Property Inc. (“Vertua”), alleged self-dealing, breach of contract, and tortious interference with a business relationship.
The Company had previously reported that it may seek to exit certain or all of its entities and holdings in Australia. The Company currently operates facilities in the United States of America and does not have any operating sites or assets in Australia.
The Company expects to vigorously pursue sanctions, attorney fees, general and punitive damages against these Australian Petitioners, as available to the full extent of the law.
The Company expects to continue to operate as usual and execute its business plan accordingly.
Celsius Promissory Note and Digital Colocation Agreement
Luna Squares has not repaid the Celsius Promissory Note as required on its stated maturity date and is claimed by Celsius Mining LLC and Celsius Network Ltd (collectively, “Celsius”) to be in default. Celsius Mining LLC transferred the benefit of the Celsius Promissory Note to Celsius Network Ltd. and Celsius Network Ltd has notified Luna Squares that the default interest is payable. On November 23, 2023, Celsius filed an adversary proceeding against Mawson and its subsidiaries Luna Squares and Cosmos, asserting various claims related to the alleged breach of a Digital Colocation Agreement.
Celsius filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on July 13, 2022. Under the Digital Colocation Agreement, Celsius Mining LLC advanced $15.3 million to Luna Squares that was held as a deposit. Whether that amount has been forfeited or must be returned to Celsius Mining LLC is the subject of a dispute between the parties. Pursuant to a court order dated April 22, 2024, the Celsius civil lawsuit against Luna Squares and Mawson has been dismissed pursuant to the Company’s successful motion to compel arbitration.
On July 18, 2024, Celsius Network, LLC filed for arbitration of its claims against the Company with the American Arbitration Association in the matter entitled Celsius Network Ltd., Celsius Mining LLC and Ionic Digital Mining LLC v. Mawson Infrastructure Group, Luna Squares LLC and Cosmos Infrastructure LLC*- Case 01-24-0006-4462*. An arbitrator was appointed on September 30, 2024 and the parties submitted their respective positions on October 25, 2024 regarding the scheduling of the arbitration. The matter is temporarily stayed as to Mawson pending determination of automatic stay in favor of the Company as a result of the Involuntary Petition. However, the stay does not apply to Luna Squares or Cosmos. On January 23, 2025, the arbitrator issued a Partial Final Award (the “Partial Final Award”) granting in part Celsius’ claim against Luna Squares on the outstanding promissory note executed by Luna Squares in favor of Celsius. The Partial Final Award granted Celsius monetary damages in the amount of $8.1 million, plus interest and attorney fees. The ruling does not directly affect the Company, however, Celsius has been granted an order by the Delaware Bankruptcy Court for relief from the lift stay to file a Rule 34 motion on its claims against Mawson under a Corporate Guarantee. Thereafter, Celsius filed a motion for and obtained an award from the arbitrator against Mawson under the Corporate Guarantee, but the execution of which remained stayed. The matter remains ongoing. In addition, Celsius filed a motion for sanctions in the Bankruptcy Court against the Company due to the Court’s denial of the Company’s motion objecting to Celsius’ stay motion. On May 9, 2025 following hearing, the Court denied Celsius motion for sanctions. In addition, on request of the Company, the court directed the parties, including the Petitioners and Celsius, to mediate with the Company to try to find a global resolution out of court. The Court agreed to appoint a sitting judge as mediator. Otherwise, the Company’s counterclaims and damages against Celsius are still in litigation and the Company continues to expeditiously pursue its counterclaims and damages against Celsius.
NOTE 9 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (Cont.)
The Company and/or its applicable subsidiaries have not fulfilled specific payment obligations related to the Marshall Loan, the W Capital Loan and the Celsius Promissory Note mentioned above. Consequently, the creditors associated with these debt facilities may initiate actions as allowed by relevant grace periods. This includes the possibility of opting to expedite the repayment of the principal debt, pursuing legal action against the Company or its subsidiaries for payment default, raising interest rates to the default or overdue rate, or taking appropriate measures concerning collateral (including appointing a receiver), if applicable.
Blockware
On April 19, 2024, a civil suit entitled Blockware Solutions, LLC v. Mawson Bellefonte LLC and Mawson Infrastructure Group, Inc*.* was filed in the US District Court, Southern District of New York.
