"Hardware/Software" and "Hosting/Auditing" seem to be weird things to lump together.

I wonder what software they pay for.

Hardware and software are both capex.

Hosting and auditing are both opex.

Makes sense to me.

Doesn't to me. Staffing/Auditing/Legal/Administrative are up to 2.7MM of their 3.0MM expenses. The way they grouped things is very deceptive.
