Massive I honestly hope im wrong, lets go back to the Q&A, they were supposed to be updating us with the Semnet listing in these results.
Q. What is the current situation with Semnet and the Nasdaq listing?
A. The annual results announcement will provide updates on matters such as the proposed NASDAQ listing of Semnet, which are due to be released before the end of July 2025.
I was looking forward to hearing about that, now we are heading into Arbitration instead.
Yes, an arbitration over profits can potentially delay the release of financial results. The process of arbitration, including determining the scope of the dispute, gathering evidence, and reaching a final award, can take a significant amount of time, thus delaying the finalisation and reporting of financial figures related to the disputed profits. Furthermore, if the arbitration involves complex financial calculations or accounting issues, it can significantly impact the timing of financial reporting.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
How Arbitration Delays Financial Results:
Time-Consuming Process:
Arbitration, while generally faster than litigation, still involves stages of evidence gathering, expert consultations, hearings, and deliberations, which can take months or even years to complete.
Complex Financial Issues:
Disputes over profits often involve intricate financial calculations, accounting principles, and valuation methods. These complexities can require extensive analysis and expert opinions, further extending the arbitration process and delaying the finalization of financial results.
Potential for Appeals:
In some cases, arbitral awards can be challenged in court, which can introduce further delays and uncertainty.
Impact on Contingency Planning:
The uncertainty surrounding the outcome of the arbitration may force companies to delay recognizing revenue or making financial adjustments until the dispute is resolved. This can lead to delays in reporting certain financial metrics.
Examples of How Profit Disputes Impact Financial Results:
Construction Contracts:
Disputes over profits in construction contracts due to delays or changes in scope can lead to claims for extended overheads, loss of profits, and other damages, which require careful assessment and can significantly impact the project's final accounting.
Joint Ventures:
Arbitration involving joint ventures may address profit-sharing arrangements, capital contributions, or the valuation of assets, all of which can affect the financial reporting of the participating companies.
Mergers and Acquisitions:
Disputes over earn-out payments or other profit-related considerations in M&A transactions can also be resolved through arbitration, potentially delaying the finalization of the acquisition's financial impact.
Intellectual Property Disputes:
Disputes over licensing agreements or infringement claims that involve lost profits can also be subject to arbitration and impact financial reporting.
