The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.Zerofield shifted its business model from operating servers for mining machines to focusing on the sale and operation of AI-focused GPU servers, while strengthening sales, business operations and organizational management. The official forecast for the fiscal year ending August 2027 was not disclosed because activities toward the transfer of all Zerofield shares are ongoing and the completion date and transfer price have not been finalized.
