SharonAI Holdings Inc. Commitments Disclosure
Note 20. Commitments
Unconditional Purchase Obligation
In connection with the termination of its data center services arrangement under the Digital Storage Solutions (DSS) agreement, the Company entered into a contractual commitment with Andrew Sjoquist Enterprises (ASE), a managed service provider. Under the termination arrangement, the Company is required to utilize services from ASE totaling approximately AUD$400 thousand over the next five years.
The commitment is noncancelable and qualifies as an Unconditional Purchase Obligation under ASC 440-10-50. As of December 31, 2025, no liability has been recognized, as the obligation represents future purchases of services expected to benefit the Company. The Company will disclose in future periods any material changes or if the commitment becomes onerous.
Data Center Services Commitment
The Group has entered into service orders with NEXTDC pursuant to a Master Services Agreement dated 1 November 2022 for the provision of data center whitespace and power capacity. During the year, the Group activated additional contracted power capacity of 600kW and amended its existing allocation.
At December 31, 2025, the Group has remaining contracted capacity of 40MW under phased deployment arrangements. Service commencement dates and establishment fees are subject to agreement in accordance with the underlying service orders. Monthly recurring fees are based on contracted kilowatt capacity.
About Commitments Disclosures
Commitments and contingencies disclosures catalog a company's off-balance-sheet obligations and legal exposures — purchase commitments, guarantee arrangements, pending litigation, and regulatory proceedings. These items represent potential future cash outflows that may not appear as liabilities on the balance sheet until they become probable and estimable.
Key signals: litigation reserves and disclosed loss ranges quantify management's estimate of legal exposure, but unquantified "reasonably possible" losses often represent the larger risk. Watch for changes in language around pending cases — shifts from "remote" to "reasonably possible" or increases in estimated loss ranges signal deteriorating outcomes. Unconditional purchase obligations and take-or-pay contracts create fixed cost structures that reduce operational flexibility. Guarantee arrangements for subsidiaries or joint ventures can create cascading obligations. Compare the total commitment schedule against projected free cash flow to assess whether the company can meet its obligations without additional financing.
