Independent Auditor’s Report

 

To the Audit Committee

Cervalis Holdings LLC

Norwalk, Connecticut

 

Report on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Cervalis Holdings LLC and Subsidiary, which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, and the related statements of related consolidated statements of operations, changes in members’ (deficiency) equity and cash flows for the years then ended and the related notes to the financial statements.

 

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

 

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

 

Auditor’s Responsibility

 

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

 

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

 

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

 

Opinion

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Cervalis Holdings LLC as of December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(in thousands)

 

Note 1.           Organization

 

Cervalis Holdings LLC (Holdings LLC) was formed on August 10, 2010, as a Delaware limited liability company for the purposes of obtaining an equity investment from outside investors. Following the formation of Holdings LLC, the members of Cervalis LLC (Operating LLC) contributed their ownership interests in Operating LLC to Holdings LLC.

 

Cervalis LLC is a data center operator and a provider of information technology (IT) infrastructure solutions and web hosting including business continuity/disaster recovery, managed hosting, managed security, managed storage, networking and telecommunications and colocation services. Cervalis LLC performs its operations through its data-centers and recovery-centers in Connecticut, New York and New Jersey.

 

Note 2.           Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Principles of consolidation: The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Holdings LLC and its 100% owned subsidiary, Cervalis LLC (herein collectively referred to as the Company). All operations of the Company reside at the operating company level of Cervalis LLC and all equity contributions of the Company were reflected at the Cervalis Holdings LLC entity level. Holdings LLC contains no assets or liabilities. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Use of estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. While management believes the estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the financial statements are appropriate, actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Financial instruments: The Company’s principal financial instruments are comprised of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, a revolving line of credit, capital leases and notes payable. The carrying value of all financial instruments approximates fair value based upon the maturities of these instruments.

 

Cash and cash equivalents: The Company considers demand deposits, certificates of deposit, and all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

The Company maintains cash accounts with one financial institution. The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents represent those assets’ fair values. At times, throughout the period, amounts of cash maintained on deposit were in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limits.

 

Revenue recognition: The Company’s revenue streams consist of recurring service fees, setup fees and nonrecurring professional services. Contracts for managed infrastructure solutions and hosting services are generally long-term in nature. Hosting arrangements generally are noncancelable by either party without liquidated damages. Hosting revenues are recognized ratably over the contractual period as services are performed. Setup fees are amortized and recognized over the estimated customer relationship life. Incremental fees for excess bandwidth usage and other consumption-based items are billed and recognized as revenue in the period that customers utilize such services. Payments received and billings made in advance of providing hosting services are deferred until the services are provided.

Note 2.           Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

 

Professional services revenues generally are recognized as the services are rendered, provided that no significant obligations remain and collection of the receivable is considered probable. Substantially all of the professional services contracts call for billings on a time and materials basis.

 

Cost of services: Cost of services consisted of the following for the years ended December 31:

Accounts receivable: Accounts receivable are stated net of an allowance for doubtful accounts which approximates those assets’ fair value. The Company estimates the allowance based on historical write-off activity and analysis of specific customers, taking into consideration the age of past due accounts and an assessment of the customer’s ability to pay.

 

Advertising costs: The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising costs were $327, $310, and $289 for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

 

Feasibility expenses: The Company expenses data-center feasibility costs as incurred. Included in general and administrative expenses, the feasibility costs were $260, $102, and $579 for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

 

Impairment of long-lived assets: Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment and reduced to fair value whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. There have been no such impairments at December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012.

 

Property and equipment: Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated lives of the assets, which are as follows:

 

Furniture and fixtures

 

5 years

 

Machinery and equipment

 

7 years

 

Computer equipment and software

 

3 to 5 years

 

Buildings

 

30 years

 

 

Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful lives of the assets or the lease term, currently one to twenty-one years. On retirement or disposal, cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and gain or loss, if any, is recorded in the loss for the period.

Note 2.           Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

 

Leases: The Company leases real estate for use as data centers and recovery centers and is often responsible for constructing nonstandard tenant improvements (e.g. HVAC systems or other structural improvements). As a result of this involvement, the Company is deemed the “owner” for accounting purposes during the construction period and is required to capitalize the construction costs on their Balance Sheet. Upon completion of the project, the Company performs a sale-leaseback analysis pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 840 to determine if they can remove the assets from their Balance Sheet. In many of their leases, the Company is not reimbursed for the construction costs, which is generally considered “continuing involvement” which preclude the Company from derecognizing the constructed assets from their Balance Sheet when construction is complete.

 

In such cases, the Company capitalize the landlord’s construction costs, including the value of costs incurred up to the date the leases are executed (e.g., the building “shell”) and costs incurred during the remainder of construction period, as such costs are incurred; these costs are included in construction in progress. Interest, property taxes and certain labor costs are also capitalized during the construction of an asset. These costs are depreciated over the estimated useful life of the related assets.

 

When construction is complete, the asset is placed in service and depreciation commences. Leased real estate for which the Company is deemed the accounting owner is depreciated to the lesser of (i) its estimated salvage value at the end of the term or (ii) the expected amount of the unamortized obligation at the end of the term. The Company will continue to account for the landlord’s asset as if they are the legal owner, and the financing obligation, similar to other debt, until the lease expires or is modified to remove the continuing involvement that prohibits de-recognition. Once de-recognition is permitted, the Company would be required to account for the lease as either operating or capital in accordance with ASC 840. As of December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, the Company has not derecognized any landlord assets or associated financing obligations.

 

Stock-unit-based compensation: The Company accounts for stock-unit-based compensation in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the FASB) ASC Topics 718 and 505, Share-Based Payments, which requires that compensation cost related to share-based payment transactions be recognized as operating expense in the consolidated financial statements (see Note 15). The Company recognizes compensation cost for awards with only service conditions that have a graded vesting schedule on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award.

 

Income taxes: The Company is a limited liability company and is taxed under the provisions of Subchapter K - Partners and Partnerships of the Internal Revenue Code. Under those provisions, the Company does not pay federal or state corporate income taxes on its taxable income. Instead, the members include their respective shares of the Company’s net operating income or loss in their individual returns.

 

Fair value measurements: The Fair Value Measurements Topic of the FASB ASC defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and sets out a fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). Inputs are broadly defined under this guidance as assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

Note 2.           Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

 

This guidance establishes three levels of the fair value hierarchy as follows:

 

Level 1                  Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. The types of investments in Level 1 include available-for-sale securities traded on a national securities exchange. These securities are stated at the last reported sales price on the day of valuation. The Company’s Level 1 investments consist of money market funds.

 

Level 2                  Inputs other than quoted prices within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, and fair value that is determined through the use of models or other valuation methodologies. Investments in this category generally include less liquid and restricted equity securities, certificates of deposit and certain over-the-counter derivatives. A significant adjustment to a Level 2 input could result in the Level 2 measurement becoming a Level 3 measurement.

 

Level 3                  Inputs that are unobservable for the asset or liability and that include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. The inputs into the determination of fair value are based upon the best information in the circumstances and may require significant management judgment or estimation. Investments in this category generally include equity and debt positions in private companies. The Company has no Level 3 investments.

 

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an investment’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the investment.

 

The Company’s Level 1 investments consist of $1,889, $3,045, and $2,691 in money market accounts as of December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and are included in cash and cash equivalents on the consolidated balance sheets.

 

The fair value of deemed landlord financing arrangements as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 was calculated using a discounted cash flow model that incorporates current borrowing rates for obligations of similar duration. These fair value measurements are considered Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

Financed receivable: The Company adheres to the provisions of Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2010-20, Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowances for Credit Losses, which requires disaggregated information about the credit quality of its financing receivables and its allowance for credit losses. Finance receivables are carried at their contractual amount and charged off against the allowance for credit losses when management determines that recovery is unlikely and the Company ceases collection efforts. The Company’s sole finance receivable consists of the note receivable described in Note 4. As of December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, there was no allowance for credit losses on the note receivable.

Note 2.           Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

 

Recently issued accounting pronouncement: In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The amendments supersede the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, including most industry-specific revenue recognition guidance throughout the Industry Topics of the Codification. In addition, the amendments supersede the cost guidance in Subtopic 605-35, Revenue Recognition—Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts, and create new Subtopic 340-40, Other Assets and Deferred Costs—Contracts with Customers. The core principle of Topic 606 is that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The amendments in ASU 2014-09 are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the pending adoption of the ASU on its consolidated financial statements.

 

Subsequent events: On April 28, 2015, Holdings LLC entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement) by and among Holdings LLC, Jupiter Merger Sub LLC (Merger Sub), LDG Holdings LLC, and CyrusOne LP (CyrusOne), a publicly held provider of enterprise data center solutions, pursuant to which Merger Sub merged with and into the Holdings LLC with Holdings LLC continuing as the surviving entity and a wholly-owned subsidiary of CyrusOne.

 

Note 3.           Restatement of Previously Issued Consolidated Financial Statements

 

The Company leases space for its data centers and recovery centers under long-term noncancelable lease arrangements from unrelated third parties. Historically, the Company accounted for all building leases as operating leases under which they were not considered the owner of the leased asset.

 

When the Company leases real estate for use as data centers and recovery centers, they are often responsible for constructing nonstandard tenant improvements (e.g. HVAC systems or other structural improvements). As a result of this involvement, the Company is deemed the “owner” for accounting purposes during the construction period, so are required to capitalize the construction costs on the Balance Sheet. Following a review of the Company’s lease accounting practices in 2015, the Company corrected its method of accounting for certain data center leases where the Company was considered the owner during the construction period to capitalize within construction in progress the landlord’s construction costs, including the value of costs incurred up to the date we execute our lease (e.g., the building shell) and costs incurred during the remainder of construction period, as such costs are incurred and to recognize a financing obligation for construction costs incurred by the landlord.

Note 10.         Term Loans and Lines of Credit

 

On February 8, 2013, the Company entered into a new credit facility with new lenders consisting of a First Lien (the First Lien) and a Second Lien (the Second Lien), collectively the “Term Loan.” The First Lien consists of (i) a revolving credit facility (the Revolving Credit Facility) (including a letter of credit sub-facility, the Letter of Credit) in a maximum amount not to exceed the Revolving Facility Cap (the Revolving Facility Cap), (ii) a Term Loan (the First Lien Term Loan) in an aggregate original principle amount of $100,000, and (iii) Delayed Draw Term Loan (the Delayed Draw Term Loan) in a maximum aggregate initial funded amount not to exceed $15,000. The Company has the right for additional indebtedness including a new term loan facility (the First Lien Incremental Term Facility) and an increased revolving loan commitment in an amount not to exceed $55,000, less the aggregate principle amount of all incremental loans under the Second Lien Agreement. Proceeds from the First Lien are available to provide funding for the build-out of its Norwalk data-center and for distributions to all members (see Note 12). The maturity date for the Revolving Credit Facility and the First Lien Term Loan is February 8, 2018. Any outstanding Letter of Credit matures the earlier of five business days prior to the scheduled maturity date for the Revolving Credit Facility and one year after its date of issuance provided any Letter of Credit with a one-year term may provide for the renewal of additional one-year periods (which can’t extend beyond the Revolving Credit Facility maturity date).

 

The outstanding Revolving Credit Facility that are LIBOR Loans and Letter of Credit shall bear interest at an amount equal to LIBOR plus 4.25% per annum, and with respect to Revolving Credit Facility that are Prime Rate loans, an amount equal to Base Rate plus 3.25%. With respect to the First Lien Term Loan or Delayed Draw Term Loan that are LIBOR Loans shall bear interest at an amount equal to LIBOR plus 4.75% per annum, and with respect to First Lien Term Loan or Delayed Draw Term Loan that are Prime Rate Loans, an amount equal to Base Rate plus 3.75% per annum. At December 31, 2013, the interest rate on all outstanding debt under the First Lien Agreement was primarily based on the LIBOR, as elected by the Company, and such rate was LIBOR plus 4.75%. The notes payable are collateralized by all the assets of the Company and include several restrictive financial covenants.

 

Under the First Lien Agreement, the Company is required to pay unused line fees of 0.5% per annum of the amount equal to the difference between a) the Revolving Facility Cap (end of each day during the preceding calendar quarter), and the sum of the daily average amount of the outstanding principal balance of all revolving advances (end of day) plus the letter of credit usage (end of day in each case for the preceding quarter). The Company is required to pay a Delayed Draw Term Loan Availability Period Fee in an amount equal to 0.75% per annum of the difference between the Delayed Draw Term Loan commitments (end of day) and the daily average sum of the initial principal amount of all delayed draw term loans funded (end of day during the preceding quarter). The Company is required to pay a Letter of Credit Fee at a rate equal to the applicable margin for LIBOR, with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility, with payment due the earlier of the expiration date of the Letter of Credit and surrender of line of credit issuer for cancellation at a rate of 0.125% per annum.

Note 10.         Term Loans and Lines of Credit (Continued)

 

The Second Lien consists of a Term Loan (the Second Lien Term Loan) in an original principal amount of $50,000 and an Incremental Term Loan (the Incremental Term Loan). Under the Incremental Term Loan, the borrower has the right to incur additional indebtedness of new term loan facilities of up to $55,000, less all incremental loans from the First Lien. Proceeds from the Second Lien Term Loan are available for capital expenditure, working capital and distributions to all members (see Note 12). The maturity date for the Second Lien facility is February 8, 2019. The Second Lien Term Loan that is a LIBOR loan shall bear interest at an amount equal to LIBOR plus 8.75% per annum with a 1.25% LIBOR floor; and with respect to the Second Lien Term Loan that is a Prime rate loan, an amount equal to Base Rate plus 7.75% per annum. With respect to any Incremental Term Loan, shall bear interest at any applicable interest rate basis agreed upon by the Borrower and Lenders making such Incremental Facility. At December 31, 2014, the interest rate on all outstanding debt under the Second Lien agreement was based on the LIBOR, as elected by the Company, and such rate was 10%. The notes payable are collateralized by all the assets of the Company and include several restrictive financial covenants.

 

On April 28, 2014, the Company amended both the First and Second Liens. The amended terms provided an expansion add back as defined under the agreement and amendments to various financial covenants.

 

At December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, the outstanding obligation on the Term Loan was $148,000, $150,000 and $19,100, respectively. At December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, outstanding borrowings on the Revolving Facility were $3,000, $0 and $0, respectively. At December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, the outstanding borrowings on the Delayed Draw Term Loan were $15,000, $15,000 and $0.

 

Pursuant to the First Lien and Second Lien Agreements, the Company is required to comply with various financial covenants.

 

Interest expense on the Term Loans, Delayed Draw Term Loan and Revolving Credit Facility was approximately $10,998, $9,116, and $2,315 for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Note 13.         Members’ Equity (Continued)

 

Each unit of Series B Preferred Units shall be convertible, at the option of the holder, at any time into such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Units as determined by dividing the Series B Original Issue Price by the Series B Conversion Price. The conversion price may be adjusted upon the occurrence of certain events as disclosed in the Agreement. The initial conversion ratio is set at one-to-one. In order to prevent dilution of the conversion rights, the Series B Conversion Ratio shall be subject to adjustment from time-to-time pursuant to terms of the Members’ Agreement.

 

Each unit of Series A Preferred Units shall be convertible, at the option of the holder, at any time into such number of fully paid and nonassessable Common Units as determined by dividing the Series A Original Issue Price by the Series A Conversion Price. The conversion price may be adjusted upon the occurrence of certain events as disclosed in the Agreement. The initial conversion is set at one-to-one. In order to prevent dilution of the conversion rights, the Series A Conversion Ratio shall be subject to adjustment from time-to-time pursuant to terms of the Members’ Agreement.

 

On February 8, 2013, the Second Amended and Restated Members Agreement of Holdings LLC (the Restated Holdings LLC Agreement) was adopted.

Approximately $101,600 was distributed pro rata to the Series A and Series B Preferred Unit Holders. Approximately, $7,400 was distributed pro rata to the Common Unit holders. The remaining funds of approximately $1,000 were distributed to the employee unit holders.

 

Note 14.         Stock-Unit-Based Compensation Plans and Restricted Units

 

The Cervalis Common Unit Plan (the CUP) and the Cervalis Employee Unit Plan (the EUP) (collectively, the Plans) enable the Managing Company to provide long-term incentive compensation for key employees of Operating LLC who have rendered and continue to render valuable services, and who thereby make important contributions toward its continued growth and success. The Plans provide a means whereby such employees of the Company may be given an opportunity to benefit from growth in the value of the Company via ownership of Common Units.

 

Units issued under the EUP vest over a three-year period and are forfeited by the employee upon termination. The exercise price of units issued equals the fair value of the units on the date of grant. Units issued are payable only upon a liquidation event as defined by the EUP. As the realization of value of units issued is based upon a performance condition to be determined in the future, the Company has assessed the probability of such event happening as nil as of December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012. As such, no compensation expense was recorded for the issuance of units during 2014, 2013 or 2012. Such probability will be reviewed at each reporting period, and if probability of such an event becomes likely, the Company will record compensation expense.
