2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparation
The consolidated financial information, which has not been audited, has been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as adopted for use by the United Kingdom, and effective, or issued and early adopted, as at the date of these statements. The consolidated financial information has been prepared under the historical cost convention as modified for financial assets carried at fair value.
This consolidated financial information is for the six-month period ended 30 September 2025. It does not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the annual report for the period ended 31 March 2025 and any public announcements made by the Company during the interim reporting period.
This interim financial information has been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies consistently with those of the annual report for year ended 31 March 2025.
Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and entities controlled by the Company (its subsidiaries). Control is achieved where the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.
Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with those used by other members of the Group.
Intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated on consolidation. Intra-group losses may indicate an impairment that requires recognition in the consolidated financial statements. Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to ensure consistency of accounting policies with those of the Group.
Presentational currency
The financial information has been presented in US Dollars ("$"), the Group's presentational currency, and rounded into thousands ($000) unless otherwise stated. The directors have chosen to present financial information in US Dollars due to the international exposure and shareholders of the entity.
3. REVENUE
The Group's revenue is derived mainly from rental income through offering of its co-location services and server rack rentals.
There are no seasonal factors that materially affect the operations of the Group.
4. INCOME TAX EXPENSE
