TDL INFOSPACE (EUROPE) LIMITED

REPORT OF THE AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF TDL INFOSPACE (EUROPE) LIMITED

We have audited the financial statements on pages 5 to 15 which have been
prepared under the historical cost convention and the accounting policies set
out on pages 9 and 10.

Respective responsibilities of directors and auditors

The directors are responsible for preparing the Annual Report, including as
described on page 2 of the accounts. Our responsibilities, as independent
auditors, are established by statute, the Auditing Practices Board and our
profession's ethical guidance.

We report to you our opinion as to whether the financial statements give a true
and fair view and are properly prepared in accordance with the Companies Act. We
also report to you if, in our opinion, the directors' report is not consistent
with the financial statements, if the company has not kept proper accounting
records, if we have not received all the information and explanations we require
for our audit, or if information specified by law regarding directors'
remuneration and transactions is disclosed.

We read the other information contained in the Annual Report and consider the
implications for our report if we become aware of any apparent misstatements or
material inconsistencies with the financial statements.

Basis of audit opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with Auditing Standards issued by the
Auditing Practices Board. An audit includes examination, on a test basis, of
evidence relevant to the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. It
also includes an assessment of the significant estimates and judgements made by
the directors in the preparation of the financial statements, and of whether the
accounting policies are appropriate to the company's circumstances, consistently
applied and adequately disclosed.

We planned and performed our audit so as to obtain all the information and
explanations which we considered necessary in order to provide us with
sufficient evidence to give reasonable assurance that the financial statements
are free from material misstatement, whether caused by fraud or other
irregularity or error. In forming our opinion we also evaluated the overall
adequacy of the presentation of information in the financial statements.

Opinion

In our opinion the financial statements give a true and fair view of the state
of affairs of the company at 31 December 1998 and the loss and cash flows of the
company for the period then ended and have been properly prepared in accordance
with the Companies Act 1985.

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS
For the period from 29 June 1998 to 31 December 1998


1.   ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost
     convention and in accordance with applicable Accounting Standards in the
     United Kingdom. All accounting policies have been applied consistently
     throughout the period and are set out below:

a.   Turnover

     Revenues are derived from short term advertising agreements and recognised
     over the term of these agreements.

     Where the company receives a fixed fee, guaranteed minimum payments are
     recognised over the term of the sales agreements. Revenue earned above the
     guaranteed minimum payments are recognised over the term of local
     advertising agreements between directory advertisers and directory
     publishers.

     Where the company receives a fee based on a per impression click through
     basis revenues from contracts based on the number of impressions displayed
     or click throughs provided are recognised as the services are provided.

     Revenues from fixed fee or carriage fee agreements are recognised over the
     related contract term. Commissions and transaction fees in excess of the
     guaranteed minimums are recognised in the period the transaction occurred.
     For carriage fee contracts that are performance based with an established
     maximum, the company recognises revenues as services are rendered.

b.   Work in progress

     Work in progress comprises the commission costs incurred in selling and
     processing advertisements. Work in progress is recognised in the profit and
     loss account as services are rendered.

c.   Fixed assets

     Fixed assets are stated at cost, net of depreciation and provision for
     permanent diminution in value.

d.   Depreciation

     Depreciation is provided on a straight line basis at rates calculated to
     write-off the cost of each asset over its estimated useful life. The annual
     rates for the major classes of tangible fixed assets are as follows:

     Computer equipment                                      33 1/3%
     Office furniture and equipment                         10 - 20%

REPORT OF THE AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF TDL INFOSPACE (EUROPE) LIMITED


We have audited the financial statements on pages 5 to 15 which have been
prepared under the historical cost convention and the accounting policies set
out on pages 9 and 10.

Respective responsibilities of directors and auditors

The directors are responsible for preparing the Annual Report, including as
described on page 2, for preparing the financial statements in accordance with
applicable United Kingdom accounting standards. Our responsibilities, as
independent auditors, are established in the United Kingdom by statute, the
Auditing Practices Board and our profession's ethical guidance.

We report to you our opinion as to whether the financial statements give a true
and fair view and are properly prepared in accordance with the United Kingdom
Companies Act. We also report to you if, in our opinion, the directors' report
is not consistent with the financial statements, if the company has not kept
proper accounting records, if we have not received all the information and
explanations we require for our audit, or if information specified by law
regarding directors' remuneration and transactions is not disclosed.

We read the other information contained in the Annual Report and consider the
implications for our report if we become aware of any apparent misstatements or
material inconsistencies with the financial statements.

Basis of audit opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with Auditing Standards issued by the
Auditing Practices Board. An audit includes examination, on a test basis, of
evidence relevant to the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. It
also includes an assessment of the significant estimates and judgements made by
the directors in the preparation of the financial statements, and of whether the
accounting policies are appropriate to the company's circumstances, consistently
applied and adequately disclosed.

We planned and performed our audit so as to obtain all the information and
explanations which we considered necessary in order to provide us with
sufficient evidence to give reasonable assurance that the financial statements
are free from material misstatement, whether caused by fraud or other
irregularity or error. In forming our opinion we also evaluated the overall
adequacy of the presentation of information in the financial statements.

Opinion

In our opinion the financial statements give a true and fair view of the state
of the company's affairs at 31 December 1999 and its profit and cash flows for
the year then ended and have been properly prepared in accordance with the
United Kingdom Companies Act 1985.

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS
For the year ended 31 December 1999


1.   ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost
     convention and in accordance with applicable Accounting Standards in the
     United Kingdom. All accounting policies have been applied consistently
     throughout the period and are set out below:

a.   Turnover

     Revenues are derived from short term advertising agreements and recognised
     over the term of these agreements.

     Where the company receives a fixed fee, guaranteed minimum payments are
     recognised over the term of the sales agreements. Revenue earned above the
     guaranteed minimum payments are recognised over the term of local
     advertising agreements between directory advertisers and directory
     publishers.

     Where the company receives a fee based on a per impression click through
     basis revenues from contracts based on the number of impressions displayed
     or click throughs provided are recognised as the services are provided.

     Revenues from fixed fee or carriage fee agreements are recognised over the
     related contract term. Commissions and transaction fees in excess of the
     guaranteed minimums are recognised in the period the transaction occurred.
     For carriage fee contracts that are performance based with an established
     maximum, the company recognises revenues as services are rendered.

b.   Work in progress

     Work in progress comprises the commission costs incurred in selling and
     processing advertisements. Work in progress is recognised in the profit and
     loss account as services are rendered.

c.   Fixed assets

     Fixed assets are stated at cost, net of depreciation and provision for
     permanent diminution in value.

d.   Depreciation

     Depreciation is provided on a straight line basis at rates calculated to
     write-off the cost of each asset over its estimated useful life. The annual
     rates for the major classes of tangible fixed assets are as follows:

     Computer equipment                                        33 1/3%
     Office furniture and equipment                           10 - 20%

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS (CONTINUED)
For the year ended 31 December 1999




e.   Pensions

     The company participated in a pension scheme operated by Thomson
     Directories Limited, a related party, for part of the year, Pension costs
     are charged to the profit and loss account so as to spread the cost (as a
     level percentage of salary) over the estimated average service lives of the
     employees in the scheme from 1 April 1999, the company no longer
     participates in a pension scheme on its employees behalf (note 13).

f.   Taxation

     Corporation tax is payable on taxable profits at the rate of 30% (1998 -
     31%) for the year.

g.   Deferred taxation

     Provision is made for deferred taxation on timing differences except where
     it is unlikely that the timing difference will reverse in the foreseeable
     future.

h.   Foreign currency transactions

     Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the rate ruling on the
     date of the transaction. All foreign exchange differences are taken to the
