2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Revenue Recognition

 

On June 17, 2026, the Company acquired approximately 85% of the outstanding common shares of Northern Data AG (“NDAG”), which derives revenues primarily from the following sources:

 

Cloud computing

 

Cloud computing, reserved capacity – The Company provides dedicated computing capacity for its customers’ exclusive use throughout the contractual term. The ability to provide continuous access to dedicated capacity represents a series of distinct services that are substantially the same and have the same pattern of transfer to the customers. The customers simultaneously receives and consume the benefits of the service as it is provided and, accordingly, the performance obligation is satisfied over time. Revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the contract term, reflecting the continuous transfer of the stand-ready service. Customers are invoiced monthly with payment terms of 10 to 20 days. 

 

Cloud computing, on-demand capacity – The Company provides GPU computing resources on demand at contractual rates based on actual usage. Customers simultaneously receive and consume the benefits of the computing services as they are delivered and, accordingly, the performance obligation is satisfied over time. The Company applies the right-to-invoice practical expedient and recognizes revenue in the amount to which it has a right to invoice, as that amount corresponds directly with the value transferred to the customers. Customers are invoiced monthly with payment terms of 10 to 20 days.

 

Deferred revenue

 

Deferred revenue is recognized when a customer makes a payment or the payment becomes due before the Company transfers the respective goods or services to the customer and the Company has an unconditional right to receive specified consideration before transferring the goods or service to the customer.

 

Contract assets

 

Contract assets are recognized when revenue is recognized before the Company has an unconditional right to invoice the customer and are measured at the amount of consideration expected to be received, subject to any applicable constraint on variable consideration. When the Company’s right to consideration becomes unconditional, the related contract asset would be reclassified to accounts receivable. Contract assets are assessed for impairment in accordance with the Company’s credit loss policy, and any impairment losses are recognized in earnings.

 

Property and Equipment

 

The Company acquired additional depreciable classes of property and equipment during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026:

 

  Useful Lives
Land Not depreciated
Building 30 years
Advance payments made and assets under construction Not depreciated
Data centers 1-20 years
Computer hardware 1-10 years
Furniture and fixtures 1-11 years
Leasehold improvements Lesser of useful life or term of lease

 

Advance payments for the acquisition, construction, or installation of property and equipment are recorded within property and equipment when the Company has made payment for assets or construction activities that are expected to result in future long-lived assets. Such amounts are classified as advance payments for property and equipment or assets under construction until the related assets are received, constructed, installed, and available for their intended use.

 

Assets under construction include costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction, installation, and testing of property and equipment, including equipment costs, vendor payments, construction costs, freight, duties, installation costs, and professional fees. Assets under construction, including advance payments recorded within property and equipment, are not depreciated until the related asset are placed in service and available, at which time the costs are transferred to the appropriate property and equipment category and depreciated over the estimated useful life of the related assets. These amounts are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable.

 

Business Combination

 

The Company evaluates whether acquired net assets should be accounted for as a business combination or an asset acquisition by first applying a screen test to determine whether substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets. If so, the transaction is accounted for as an asset acquisition. If not, the Company applies its judgement to determine whether the acquired net assets meets the definition of a business by considering if the set includes an acquired input, process, and the ability to create outputs.

 

The Company accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method when it has obtained control. The Company measures goodwill as the fair value of the consideration transferred including the fair value of any non-controlling interest recognized, less the net recognized amount of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, all measured at their fair value as of the acquisition date. Transaction costs, other than those associated with the issuance of debt or equity securities, that the Company incurs in connection with a business combination are expensed as incurred.

 

Investments

 

The Company accounts for investment in which it has significant influence using the equity method. Significant influence is the ability to affect an investee’s operating and financial policies. In assessing whether significant influence exists, the Company considers its ability to participate in relevant decision-making processes, taking into account governance rights, representation in decision-making bodies, contractual arrangements, and other relevant facts and circumstances. Equity method investments are initially recognized at cost and subsequently adjusted for the Company’s share of the investee’s profit or loss and other comprehensive income. Dividends received reduce the carrying amount of the investment.

 

The Company accounts for its investment in non-marketable equity securities, over which it does not have control or significant influence, using the measurement alternative. The investment was initially measured at fair value on the acquisition date and is subsequently carried at cost, adjusted for impairments and observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or similar securities.

 

New Standards or Amendments Not Yet Effective

 

The following amendments to existing standards have been issued up to and including the date of issuance of these financial statements, however are not yet effective for the Company:

 

Accounting Standards Updates 2025-01 and 2024-03, Income statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expense. The amendments in this update require public business entities to disclose, on an annual and interim basis, disaggregated information about certain income statement expense line items in the notes to the financial statements. Public business entities are required to apply the guidance prospectively and may elect to apply it retrospectively. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027.

 

Accounting Standards Updates 2025-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software. This ASU removes all references to software development project stages so that the guidance is neutral to different software development methods, including methods that entities may use to develop software in the future. Therefore, this ASU requires that an entity capitalize software costs when both: management has authorized and committed to funding the software project; and it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended (referred to as the “probable-to-complete recognition threshold”). In evaluating the probable-to-complete recognition threshold, an entity is required to consider whether there is significant uncertainty associated with the development activities of the software. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an annual reporting period.

 

Accounting Standards Updates 2025-11, Interim Reporting: Narrow-Scope Improvements (Topic 270): This ASU clarifies interim disclosure requirements and the applicability of Topic 270. It provides a comprehensive list of interim disclosures currently required under U.S. GAAP and introduces a disclosure principle requiring entities to disclose events since the end of the last annual reporting period that have a material impact. The ASU also clarifies the types of interim reporting, and the form and content of interim financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, enhancing consistency in interim reporting. This ASU is effective for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted.

 

The Company is still evaluating the potential impact of implementing the above amendments to its consolidated financial statements.
