(Amounts in thousands)
(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet reflects the historical
financial position of infoUSA and DM Holdings, Inc. (operating as Donnelley
Marketing) at June 30, 1999, with pro forma adjustments as if the business
combination had taken place on June 30, 1999. The unaudited pro forma
consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 1998
and six months ended June 30, 1999 reflect the historical results of
operations of infoUSA and Donnelley Marketing, with pro forma adjustments
based on the assumption the business combination was effective January 1,
1998 and January 1, 1999.
(2) DESCRIPTION OF TRANSACTION
Effective July 1, 1999, the Company acquired all issued and outstanding
common stock of Donnelley Marketing. Consideration for the acquisition was
$200.0 million in cash plus any related acquisition costs, which will be
funded through a combination of existing cash of $43,771 and borrowings
under senior secured credit facilities of $165 million, further described
below. The acquisition will be accounted for using the purchase method of
accounting. The aggregate purchase price of the acquisition was allocated
based upon management's best estimate of the fair value of identifiable
assets and liabilities of Donnelley Marketing at the date of acquisition as
follows:
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
Current assets $ 16,269
Property and equipment, net 6,200
Intangible assets, net 206,127
Current liabilities (8,631)
Long-term debt (165,000)
Deferred taxes, long-term (9,844)
Other liabilities (1,350)
----------
Total $ 43,771
==========
</TABLE>
(3) The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements reflect the
following adjustments:
(a) A pro forma adjustment of $7.1 million and $3.4 million in 1998 and
1999, respectively, was made to reflect the incremental guaranteed
license revenue from agreement with First Data Corporation ("FDC")
entered into as part of the purchase transaction.
(b) To eliminate salaries and wages associated with the white page
compilation because the same function and data are obtained from
existing functions. Elimination of this function has no effect on
revenues. The adjustments for the year ended December 31, 1998 and the
six months ended June 30, 1999 were $1,668 and $859, respectively.
(c) To eliminate costs associated with employees and facilities not
assumed by infoUSA Inc. which will not be acquired as part of the
acquisition. The adjustments for the year ended December 31, 1998 and
the six months ended June 30, 1999 were $3,425 and $1,752,
respectively.
(d) To reflect data processing agreement with FDC entered into as part of
the purchase transaction. The adjustments for the year ended December
31, 1998 and the six months ended June 30, 1999 were $1,000 and $500,
respectively.

(f) To reflect interest expense of $13,700 and $6,850 and deferred
financing costs of $555 and $278 on credit facilities issued in
connection with the business combination for year ended December 31,
1998 and the six months ended June 30, 1999, respectively.
(g) A pro forma adjustment of $1,499 and $745 in 1998 and 1999,
respectively, was made to reflect the tax expense related to the pro
forma adjustments. An effective tax rate of 38% was used to determine
the pro forma income tax adjustment. The tax calculation includes a
pro forma income tax adjustment related to the amortization of
goodwill created as a result of the business combination due to the
nondeductibility of these expenses to the surviving combined company.
(h) To reflect cash of $572 not included as acquired assets in the
business combination, and cash payments of $43,771 for purchase of
Donnelley Marketing.
(i) A pro forma adjustment of $2,181 has been made to record at fair value
property and equipment acquired at the date of acquisition. See note
(e) for adjustment to depreciation expense.
(j) A pro forma adjustment of $2,250 has been made to record estimated
direct costs to be incurred as a result of the acquisition.

DM HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For the six months ended June 30, 1999, the
two years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997,
and the three months ended December 31, 1996
(1) ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
DM Holdings, Inc. (the "Company") is in the business of providing target
marketing and data enhancement services for direct marketers through data
base management, information processing, data file enhancement, and
consumer lists. The Company was acquired by, and became a wholly owned
subsidiary of, First Data Corporation ("FDC") in September 1996. The
accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect FDC's basis in the
Company.
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company's revenue is primarily generated from the sale of its products
and services and the licensing of its data to third parties. Revenue from
the sale of products and services is generally recognized when the product
is delivered or the services are performed. Data licensing revenue is
recognized based on percentages which are derived from the pricing of the
product and corresponds to delivery of the initial set of data and any
obligations to provide future updates of data. Revenue related to future
updates is recorded as deferred revenue. Reserves are established for
estimated returns and uncollectible amounts.
DATA BASE COSTS
Costs to maintain and enhance the Company's existing business and consumer
data bases are expensed as incurred. Costs to develop new data bases, which
primarily include labor costs, are capitalized with amortization beginning
upon successful completion of the compilation project. Data base costs are
amortized straight-line over the expected lives of the data bases generally
ranging from one to five years.
CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash equivalents, consisting of highly liquid debt instruments that are
readily convertible to known amounts of cash and when purchased have an
original maturity of three months or less, are carried at cost which
approximates fair value.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation or
amortization. Depreciation expense is calculated over the estimated useful
lives of the related assets, ranging from three to thirty years, using the
straight-line method for financial reporting purposes. Leasehold
improvements are amortized over the term of the related lease.

DM HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For the six months ended June 30, 1999, the
two years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997,
and the three months ended December 31, 1996
GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Goodwill represents the excess of FDC's September 1996 purchase price over
the fair value of net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired
and is being amortized using the straight-line method over thirty years. At
June 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998 and 1997, the Company had goodwill of
$178,640, $178,596, and $179,605, respectively, and accumulated
amortization of $17,008, $14,043, and $8,111, respectively.
Other intangible assets consist primarily of the FDC acquisition purchase
price allocated to identifiable intangible assets. Such assets are
internally developed data bases and computer software. The amounts
allocated to data bases and software at the date of acquisition were
$10,405 and $25,822, respectively, and are being amortized over lives of
nine to twelve years. At June 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998 and 1997, the
Company had total accumulated amortization of $10,720, $8,806, and $4,991,
respectively, related to data bases and software. Remaining balances of
other intangibles consist of capitalized software and data base development
costs, net of accumulated amortization. These costs are amortized on a
straight-line basis over the benefit period, generally five years.
The Company reviews its long-lived assets, including goodwill, for
impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of
assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying
amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be
generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the
impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying
amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.
INCOME TAXES
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax
consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement
carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective
tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax
assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to
apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences
are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets
and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the
period that includes the enactment date.
The taxable income of the Company is included in the U. S. federal income
tax return of FDC. For financial reporting purposes, the Company's
provision for income taxes has been determined as if the Company were a
separate tax-paying entity. Current income taxes payable are included in
"Due to First Data Corporation."
USE OF ESTIMATES
Management of the Company has made a number of estimates and assumptions
relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and reported amounts of
revenues and expenses to prepare these consolidated financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Actual results
could differ from those estimates.

(5) STOCK COMPENSATION PLAN
The Company participates in an FDC stock compensation plan that provides
for the granting of FDC stock options to key employees and other key
individuals who perform services for the Company. Under the plan, options
may be granted for a term not to exceed ten years from date of grant and
generally become exercisable in three or four equal annual increments
beginning twelve months after the date of grant. The option price is the
fair market value of the shares on the date of grant.
In October 1996, FDC instituted an employee stock purchase plan for which a
total of 6.0 million shares have been reserved for issuance, of which 3.4
million, 3.8 million, 5.1 million, and 6.0 million shares remain available
for purchase as of June 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998, 1997, and 1996,
respectively. Monies accumulated through payroll deductions elected by
eligible employees are used to effect quarterly purchases of FDC common
stock at a 15% discount from the lower of the market price at the beginning
or end of the quarter.
SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, permits entities to
recognize as expense over the vesting period the fair value of all
stock-based awards on the date of grant. Alternatively, SFAS No. 123 also
allows entities to continue to apply the provisions of Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,
and provide pro forma net income for employee stock option grants as if the
fair value method defined in SFAS No. 123 had been applied. As such,
compensation expense would be recorded on the date of grant only if the
current market price of the underlying stock exceeded the exercise price.

and $8.20 and $5.10, respectively, on the date of grant using the Black
Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average

Had the Company recorded compensation cost based on the fair value at the
grant date for its stock options and stock purchase rights under SFAS No.
123, the Company's net income for the six months ended June 30, 1999, the
two years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the three months ended
December 31, 1996 would have been reduced by approximately $391, $365,
$237, and $46, respectively. Because SFAS No. 123 is applicable only to
options granted subsequent to December 31, 1994, its pro forma effect will
not be fully reflected until the year ending December 31, 1999.

o Data processing - The Company's data processing is performed at data
centers located in Denver, Colorado and Omaha, Nebraska. Data
processing activities for other FDC entities are also conducted by
these facilities. The annual charge to the Company for these services
is based upon the mainframe charges from both data centers which are
based on usage. In addition, both data centers have equipment that is
dedicated to the Company in which charges incurred by the Company are
based on the actual costs plus an allocation for the data center
overhead. Data processing costs include charges for the use of
programmers to support certain Company products.
o Licensing fees - These charges represent licensing fees for software
used in certain Company products.
o Consulting fees - These charges represent modeling and analytical
services.

DM HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For the six months ended June 30, 1999, the
two years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997,
and the three months ended December 31, 1996
o Corporate overhead - This is a general allocation of FDC's corporate
overhead based on a percentage of the Company's revenue. Functions
provided by FDC corporate include administration of employee benefit
programs, internal audit, financial systems licensing and processing,
taxes, external financial reporting, and other support services.
o Direct charges - Certain programs and activities are administered by
FDC on a consolidated basis. Examples are employee benefit plans,
group and other insurance programs, and certain vendor agreements that
are negotiated by FDC on an enterprise wide basis. The costs of these
programs and activities are specifically recorded by each
participating business unit and the costs are not included in the
table above.
o Interest - FDC does not have any specific indebtedness related to the
Company. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not
reflect any allocations of FDC interest expense. There are no formal
financing arrangements with FDC; however, cash not necessary for the
Company's near term operating requirements has been remitted to FDC
which, in turn, has funded the Company's operating, investing, and
financing activities as required. Accordingly, the net change in the
payable to FDC has been reflected as a financing activity in the
accompanying statements of cash flows.
In addition to the above described allocations, certain of the Company's
functions (primarily administration, accounting, and human resources) are
shared with another FDC business unit. The accompanying consolidated
financial statements have been prepared using estimates of the costs of
these functions that were attributable to the Company's activities.
Management believes that the allocation process described in the preceding
paragraph and the overall amount of charges to and from FDC and affiliates
are reasonable and that, except as described above with respect to
interest, the accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect all of
the Company's costs of doing business.
During the the six months ended June 30, 1999, the two years ended December
31, 1998 and 1997, and the three months ended December 31, 1996 the Company
derived revenues of $3,122, $5,871, $4,587 and $1,034, respectively, from
FDC and its affiliates. These revenues related primarily to royalties
derived from a Company database and services for building and maintaining
another marketing database.
(8) CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
The Company's customers, while concentrated in the United States, are
spread across diverse market sectors. There were no single customers
accounting for 10% or more of the Company's revenues for the six months
ended June 30, 1999, the two years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, and
the three months ended December 31, 1996. The Company's accounts receivable
are unsecured and the Company is at risk to the extent such amounts become
uncollectible. The Company establishes its allowance for doubtful accounts
based upon the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends, and
other information.

(9) RETIREMENT PLAN
FDC has an incentive savings plan which allows eligible employees of FDC
and its subsidiaries to contribute a percentage of their compensation and
provides for certain matching, service-related and other contributions. The
Company's matching and service-related contributions associated with the
plan were approximately $475, $801, $603, and $58 for the six months ended
June 30, 1999, the two years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the
three months ended December 31, 1996.
(10) PROVISION FOR EMPLOYEE SEVERANCE
In May 1998, the Company formulated and announced a plan that involved a
reduction in its workforce. Included in the Company's 1998 results of
operations is a charge of $645 for this plan. The charge related to
severance and related costs with respect to 47 employees.
(11) CONTINGENCIES
The Company is involved in certain litigation arising in the ordinary
course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate resolution
of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's
financial position or results of operations.
(12) SALE OF BUSINESS
Effective July 1, 1999, FDC sold all of the outstanding stock of the
Company to infoUSA Inc. for a purchase price of approximately $200 million.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not give effect to
any of the transactions contemplated under the agreement.
(13) YEAR 2000 REMEDIATION (UNAUDITED)
The Company is faced with "Year 2000" remediation issues. Many computer
programs were written with a two digit date field and if these programs are
not made Year 2000 compliant, they will be unable to correctly process date
information on or after Year 2000. Remediation efforts go beyond the
Company's internal computer systems and require coordination with clients,
vendors, government entities, and other third parties to assure that their
systems and related interfaces are compliant. Failure to achieve timely
remediation of the computer systems that process client information and
transactions would have a material adverse effect on the Company's
business, operations, and financial results.
In response to the Year 2000 concerns, FDC created a Year 2000 Task Force
to coordinate and monitor the progress in the Year 2000 remediation
efforts. The Task Force reports directly to FDC's executive management and
also provides regular reports to the Board of Directors. In addition, at
the direction of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, FDC engaged
the Gartner Group to provide an independent analysis and assessment of its
Year 2000 remediation efforts. The Gartner Group provides regular progress
reports to executive management and the Board of Directors, and regularly
meets with the Audit Committee of the Board to discuss its reports.
The Company's plans called for all mission critical systems to be renovated
and compliance testing underway by the end of 1998. Acceptance testing with
clients and other third parties will take place through September 1999.
Completion of all third-party interfacing testing is dependent upon those
third parties completing their own internal remediation. The Company could
be adversely affected to the extent third parties with which it interfaces
have not properly addressed their Year 2000 issues.
