According to an ASX announcement by Magnis Energy Technologies Ltd, the company's securities were suspended from quotation under Listing Rule 17. 5 on Monday, 2 October 2023. The reason behind this suspension was that MNS had failed to lodge its Full Year Statutory Accounts by the due date.
What Are Full Year Statutory Accounts and Why Are They Important?
Full Year Statutory Accounts are a set of financial reports that companies are required to prepare at the end of each financial year. These reports include a profit and loss account, a balance sheet, a directors' report, and an auditors' report (unless the company qualifies for an exemption). The purpose of these reports is to provide a comprehensive overview of the company's financial performance and position over the year.
Consequences of Failing to Lodge Full Year Statutory Accounts:
When a company fails to lodge its Full Year Statutory Accounts by the due date, it may face penalties and legal action from the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC).

Additionally, the company may also be subject to delisting from the ASX if it fails to comply with the listing rules.
Late Filing Penalties:
Companies are required to file their Full Year Statutory Accounts with Companies House within nine months after the end of the accounting period. Late filing usually attracts penalties from both Companies House and HM Revenue and Customs.
It is important for companies to adhere to these reporting requirements to maintain transparency and accountability in their financial operations. Failure to do so could result in severe consequences for the company and its stakeholders.
