On June 29, 2020, AdR received a letter (the “Letter”) from the Director General of CEA and the Director General of CESPT terminating the APP Contract.
−Removed: The reasoning provided in the Letter for the decision to terminate the APP Contract is that the Project (a) is not financially feasible due to increases in the construction, operating and financing costs for the Project in addition to negative changes in economic conditions (e.g.

The applicable law requires this list of non-recoverable expenses made by AdR in connection with the Project be submitted to CEA and CESPT within 20 business days from the date of receipt of the Letter.
−Removed: As a consequence of the termination of the APP Contract, the rights of way NSC and AdR acquired for the aqueduct no longer have any value due to the loss of their strategic importance derived from their incorporation in the Project.
−Removed: Consequently, the Company recorded an impairment loss of approximately $( 3.0 million) for the three months ended June 30, 2020 to write off its investment in these rights of way.
−Removed: The Company also recorded adjustments during the three months ended June 30, 2020 of $ 2.6 million and $ 2.2 million to reduce its operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities, respectively, due to the planned cancellation (or transfer to the State) of a long-term land lease associated with the Project.

−Removed: Accordingly, the assets and liabilities of CW-Cooperatief, NSC and AdR, as well as all Project development expenses and the impairment loss incurred by the Company, have been reclassified from the services segment to discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.
−Removed: Summarized financial information for the Mexico project development is as follows:
+Added: AdR initiated an amparo claim before a federal district court in Tijuana, Baja California, to challenge the provision of the applicable law requiring submittal of the list of non-recoverable expenses within the 20 business days term, as AdR considered such term to be unreasonably short due to the magnitude of the Project and the scope of supporting documentation required to be provided with respect to the non-recoverable expenses.
+Added: AdR obtained an initial provisional suspension of the lapsing of such 20-day term from the court, and on August 10, 2020 the court made such suspension definitive until the completion of the amparo trial.
+Added: As such, the 20-day term for filing the list of non-recoverable expenses was suspended.
+Added: Therefore, on August 28, 2020, AdR submitted their list of non-recoverable expenses, including those of NSC, to CEA and CESPT which was comprised of 51,144,525 United States dollars and an additional 137,333,114 Mexican pesos.
+Added: In February 2021, AdR withdrew this amparo claim, and such withdrawal was accepted by the federal district court in Tijuana.

+Added: On April 16, 2021, CW-Cooperatief submitted a letter to the President of Mexico and other Mexican federal government officials alleging that the State’s termination of the APP Contract constituted a breach by Mexico of its international obligations under the Treaty, entitling CW-Cooperatief to full reparation, including monetary damages.
+Added: This letter invites Mexico to seek a resolution of this investment dispute through consultation and negotiation, but states that if the dispute cannot be resolved in this manner, CW-Cooperatief elects to refer the dispute to the International Centre for the Settlement of International Disputes for arbitration, as provided for in the Treaty.
+Added: On June 29, 2021, the Mexican Ministry of Economy responded to CW-Cooperatief’s letter and proposed to hold a consultation meeting.
+Added: Two such meetings were held on July 9, 2021 and August 2, 2021 on a confidential basis, without a resolution of the Company’s investment dispute.
+Added: On February 9, 2022, CW-Cooperatief, filed a Request for Arbitration with the International Centre for Settlement of International Disputes requesting that the United Mexican States pay CW-Cooperatief damages in excess of US$ 51 million plus MXN$ 137 million (with the exact amount to be quantified in the proceedings), plus fees, costs and pre- and post-award interest.
+Added: CW-Cooperatief intends to pursue vigorously the relief sought in the arbitration, in addition to pursuing all other legal remedies and courses of action available under the operative contracts and applicable law with respect to their rights, damages, fees and expenses.
+Added: The Company cannot provide any assurances that CW-Cooperatief will be able to obtain the relief sought in the arbitration, and CW-Cooperatief will incur legal and other arbitration-related expenses that the Company expects will be material to its consolidated results of operations and cash flows.
+Added: The Company cannot provide any assurances that it will be able to obtain reimbursement for any expenses or investments made with respect to the Project.
+Added: As a result of the cancellation of the APP Contract, in 2020 the Company discontinued all development activities associated with the Project and commenced active marketing efforts to sell the land NSC purchased for the Project.
+Added: Accordingly, the assets and liabilities of CW-Cooperatief, NSC and AdR, as well as all Project development expenses, the impairment loss of approximately ($ 3.0 million) recorded during 2020 for Project assets, and the costs for legal and administrative activities to pursue reimbursement from the State of Baja California following the cancellation of the APP Contract, have been reclassified from the services segment to discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
+Added: The Company’s net losses from discontinued operations for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 were ($ 2,574,079 ) and ($ 4,902,243 ), respectively.
+Added: The Company’s net loss from discontinued operations for 2021 and 2020 also includes provisions of $ 963,540 and $ 316,217 , respectively, for potentially uncollectible value added taxes paid that are reimbursable/receivable from the Mexican federal government.
+Added: The Company recorded the 2021 provision as a result of the Mexican government’s rejection of its most recent request for repayment of these value added taxes paid.
+Added: The Company believes it is legally entitled to be repaid for these value added taxes and has engaged a firm to assist it in collecting these amounts from the Mexican government.
+Added: However, the Company ultimately may not be able to obtain such payment from the Mexican government and therefore may be required in the future to record another provision to write off the remaining balance of these receivables, which amounted to $ 340,910 as of December 31, 2021.
+Added: Summarized financial information for the discontinued Mexico project development operation is as follows:
