Commitments:
Leases
The Company determines whether an arrangement is a lease at inception. The Company has operating and financing leases for certain manufacturing, land, office facilities and certain equipment. The leases have remaining lease terms of two years to less than twenty-two years. Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.
Lease expense for these leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For the twelve months ended December 31, total lease costs are comprised of the following:
(Dollars in thousands)

Operating lease cost$82 $157 
Short-term lease cost50 — 
Finance lease costs:

  Total finance lease costs128 — 
Total net lease cost$260 $157 
Short-term leases are leases having a term of twelve months or less. The Company recognizes short-term leases on a straight-line basis and does not record a related lease asset or liability for such leases. On April 3, 2025, Soluna KK Energy ServiceCo, LLC (“Soluna KK Energy”), a subsidiary of the Company, entered into a lease agreement for 50 acres of property located in Willacy County, Texas, for the purpose of constructing, installing, operating, and maintaining modular data centers and related facilities. Soluna KK Energy had the ability to terminate the lease within six months of April 3, 2025. Through July 2025, there was uncertainty over project funding and whether the Company would extend the lease agreement. As such, the Company recorded the lease agreement as short-term. In August 2025, Soluna KK Energy extended the lease agreement for the additional term of twenty-two years. Accordingly, the Company recorded a right-of-use asset and lease liability.

Project Kati Commitments:
As of December 31, 2025, the Company was contractually committed for approximately $27.0 million of capital expenditures, primarily related to infrastructure builds, equipment procurement, and labor mainly associated with the Company’s Project Kati data center. These capital expenditures are expected to occur over the next year.
Contingencies:
Spring Lane Capital Contingency
The Company has a potential contingency associated with an agreement with Spring Lane of up to $250 thousand which would be reduced by a proportion of funding received from Spring Lane up to the $45.0 million aggregate contribution cap. The Company considers the probability of a payment for the contingency to be remote.
Legal
We are subject to legal proceedings, claims and liabilities which arise in the ordinary course of business. When applicable, we accrue for losses associated with legal claims when such losses are probable and can be reasonably estimated. These accruals are adjusted as additional information becomes available or circumstances change. Legal fees are charged to expense as they are incurred.
