Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements
1 General information
Zenium TopCo Limited (the "Company") is a limited liability company incorporated and domiciled in Cayman Islands. The address of its registered office is 27 Hospital Road, George Town, Grand Cayman, KY1-9008. The Company is the parent company of the Zenium group of subsidiaries (the “Group”).
The principal activity of the Group throughout the period was data centre development in Frankfurt and the UK, with Turkish operations being disposed of. The Group specialises in the delivery of wholesale data solutions to the data centre market. The Group typically enters into agreements with tenants to provide bespoke facilities that facilitate high specification data storage and ongoing facility maintenance and operation services.
2 Summary of significant accounting policies
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below.
Basis of preparation
The interim consolidated financial statements of the Group for the six months ended 30 June 2018 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The purpose of these financial statements is to meet the reporting requirements of Regulation S-X of Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements. The policies applied which are consistent with those applied in the preparation and disclosed in the Group’s annual financial statements as at 31 December 2017 apart from the application of IFRS 15 and IFRS 9 in the period. These should be read in conjunction with these financial statements.
Going concern
Independent of the sale of the Group completed in August of 2018, based on the Group’s forecasts and projections, the Board is satisfied that the Group will be able to operate with its current level of resources to meet its working capital requirements for at least 12 months from the date of signing these financial statements and additional funding will be raised, if required, to meet future uncommitted fit out works.
New accounting requirements
The Group has applied the following standards and amendments for the first time for their annual reporting period commencing after 1 January 2018:
IFRS 9 Financial Instruments which reflects all phases of the financial instruments project and replaces IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement and all previous versions of IFRS 9. IFRS 9 was effective from 1 January 2018 and addresses the classification, measurement and derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities, introduces new rules for hedge accounting and a new impairment model for financial assets. The new impairment model requires the recognition of impairment provisions based on expected credit losses (ECL) rather than only incurred credit losses as is the case under IAS 39. It applies to financial assets classified at amortised cost, debt instruments measured at FVOCI, contract assets under IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers, contract receivables, loan commitments and certain financial guarantee contracts. The Group has adopted the new accounting standard in these interim financial statements and there is no material impact.
Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements (continued)
2 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
New accounting requirements (continued)
IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which establishes a single comprehensive model of accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers that an entity will apply to determine the measurement of revenue and timing of when it is recognised. IFRS 15 supersedes several standards and interpretations including IAS 11, Construction Contracts and IAS 18, Revenue. The core principle of IFRS 15 is that an entity recognises revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods and services to customers in an amount that reflects the amount an entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods and services. The new standard also result in enhanced disclosures about revenue that would result in an entity providing comprehensive information about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the entity’s contracts with customers. This standard is applicable from 1 January 2018 and has been adopted in these interim financial statements.
Each customer contract has been assessed under IFRS15. The straight-line method continues to be appropriate given the services being delivered to the customers are provided over the life of the contract. Contract prices are fixed and are not subject to adjustments arising from variable considerations due to discounts, credits or other constraints on revenue. Therefore it was concluded that there was no material financial impact on the Group’s accounting for revenue, with the only amendment required being a presentational disclosure in the financial statements to disclose contract assets and liabilities and the reclassification of costs incurred to obtain revenue contracts of from property plant and equipment to other assets as costs to obtain contracts and the reclassification of depreciation on these to costs of sales.
The Group has applied the new accounting standard on a modified retrospective basis, with no change to the comparative information.
As at 1 January 2018 there is no adjustment to opening reserves and as at 30 June 2018 the following adjustments have been made:
| |
• | Costs to obtain contracts of $1.2m have been reclassified from property, plant and equipment to trade and other receivables; and |
| |
• | Amortisation of US$17,000 in relation to these costs has been moved from accumulated depreciation, included in cost of sales to trade and other receivables as a reduction. |
See notes 3 and 6 for further details.
IFRS 16 ‘Leases’ was issued in January 2016 and will be implemented by the Group from 1 January 2019. The Standard will replace IAS 17 ‘Leases’ and will require lease liabilities and ‘right of use’ assets to be recognised on the balance sheet for almost all leases. This is expected to result in a significant increase in both assets and liabilities recognised. The costs of operating leases currently included within operating costs will be split and the financing element of the charge will be reported within finance expense. Finance lease obligations at 30 June 2018 are set out in Note 10, ‘Borrowings’ and the undiscounted commitments under non-cancellable operating leases are set out in Note 19, ‘Contingencies and commitments’. The Group is assessing the potential impact of IFRS 16.

Goodwill was generated on the acquisition of Zenium UK2 Limited in the previous year, this includes deferred tax arising on fair value adjustments, see note 5.
This is reassessed for impairment at each reporting period and no indicators of impairment are considered to exist. Zenium UK2 Limited is considered to be the cash generating unit to which the goodwill is allocated to.
The fair value less costs to sell was calculated to assess the recoverable amount of the Zenium UK2 Limited CGU based on an earnings multiple, given the expected disposal of the Group in the short-term to Cyrus One Inc, see note 24. Judgement exists within this valuation around the earnings multiple which when sensitised, would need to reduce by 47% to create an impairment risk. The EBITDA used in calculating the value in use is also judgemental and this assumption would need to reduce by 48% to trigger an impairment. Committed spend is not considered to be judgemental as this is known amounts and hence has not been sensitised.

The A and B preference shares were issued in 2017 to fund the acquisition of Zenium UK2 Limited and planned capex spend.
The additional B preference shares were issued to certain members of key management triggered by the amount of capital invested into the Company by its immediate parent entity. The expense has been recognised within employee benefits expenses with each share valued at US$1.00 as per the Company’s Investment Agreement and the amount paid for the shares which is deemed to be its fair value at grant.
The additional B preference shares were issued as follows:

9 Other reserves
Certain members of key management of the Group were granted A and B ordinary shares of the Company during the current and prior year. The Group receives employee services from certain members of its key management in consideration for these A and B ordinary shares of the Company.
The fair value of the employee services received in exchange for the grant of the awards is recognised as an expense within employee benefits. The total amount to be expensed is determined by reference to the fair value of the awards granted. It excludes the impact of any service and non-market performance vesting conditions (for example, profitability and sales growth targets).
The number of authorised ordinary shares of the Company at 30 June 2018 and 31 December 2017 were 162,582. The ordinary shares carry no voting rights and have a par value of US$1.00 per share. As permitted by the Company’s Articles of Association the Directors divided the Ordinary shares between A and B ordinary shares.
The Group recognises a share-based payment expense within employee benefits expense based on the fair value of the restricted shares issued, and an equivalent credit in equity in other reserves. At the date of vesting, when the share is no longer restricted, the equivalent charge remains within other reserves.
The number of A and B ordinary shares issued during the period and vested as at 31 December 2017 and 30 June 2018 was:
|
| | |
| Number issued | Number vested |
A ordinary shares | 32,514 | 32,514 |
B ordinary shares bought back | 22,498 | 32,254 |
31 December 2017 and 30 June 2018 | 55,012 | 64,768 |
Total as at 31 December and 30 June 2018 | 162,582 | 162,582 |
Following the Share Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) with CyrusOne Inc ("CyrusOne") to acquire the Group, that was signed in December 2017, the ordinary shares were expected to vest on completion and these shares were expected to be equity settled. As such these shares are treated for accounting purposes as equity settled, being a change from prior year where a cash settled treatment was undertaken. Owing to the fact the shares are expected to vest after period-end following completion of the acquisition of the Group by CyrusOne, the share based-payment charge US$1,163,000 was accelerated to recognise the full charge as at 31 December 2017. The position as at 30 June 2018 remains consistent with the prior year end. This charge is based on the fair value at grant date.

Revenue arises from the provision of data centre services utilising the Group’s infrastructure assets, revenues represent the value of the services or goods supplied to customers during the year. Revenues exclude value added tax and other sales related taxes. The majority of contracts entered into are not deemed to be leases as there are no specifically identified assets attributable to them.
Revenue from each of the performance obligation detailed in the table above has been determined based on the five step model requirements under IFRS 15 ‘Revenue from contracts’. Revenue from equipment supply and service charge is satisfied over time as customers receive and benefit from the use of the racks spaces and the accompany services simultaneously, as such revenue is straight-lined over the life of the revenue contract. The group has an enforceable right to be paid as each performance obligation is satisfied, customers are invoiced based on quarterly or monthly demands in accordance with each contract.
Where invoices are raised in advance for contracted services, the revenue is spread over the period of the service and contract liabilities deferred income is recognised on the balance sheet. There is a 30-60 day payment term and there are no financing arrangements with customers.

12 Revenue (continued)
The Group independently procures the power that is subsequently provided to customers to power their rack space. The risks and rewards remain with the Group in relation to the supply of such power. The Group is also the primary obligator responsible for providing the related space and services to the customer and is therefore acting as the principal from the perspective of the customer. As a result, based on the assessment in line with IFRS15, the Group recognises the gross revenue received from contracts with customers at the point in time when power consumption has been assessed and measured.
Other revenue is generated from installation services or other maintenance related customer requests and is recognised at the point in time when installations are complete and specified space is handed over to the customer or relevant work has been completed. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging revenue contracts are capitalised and amortised on a straight-line basis over the contract term. Costs to obtain contracts at 30 June 2018 have been disclosed in notes 6 and 7.
Rental Income from operating leases is recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease. This relates to the portion of a customer contract deemed to meet the criteria of a lease under IAS 17. There are no contingent rents (2017: US$nil).
The future aggregate minimum rentals receivable under non-cancellable customer contracts are as follows:

| |
o | US$40,694,000 to the minority interest, which was settled net of the minority interests share of transactions costs of US$1,879,000 and was in respect of net proceeds received on the sale of the Turkey data centre. |
| |
o | Further additional payments of US$2,057,000 were made to the minority interest. US$1,557,000 of this was paid directly by the Group and US$500,000 was paid from |
the buyer, Equinix, on behalf of Zenium as part of the agreement to exit the external minority interest.
| |
