           Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Financial Statements

                             (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.

(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>

         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.

    (e) To record amortization expense related to the business combination. The
        adjustment is derived as follows:

    (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.

    (k) The pro forma adjustment of $14,232 for intangible assets is made to
        record intangible assets of $206,127 arising from the acquisition. The
        $206,127 of intangible assets included the following:

    (l) The pro forma adjustment of $(36,444) to long-term debt was made to
        reverse inter-company debt ($201,444) not assumed by the Company in the
        acquisition and to record the acquisition debt ($165,000).

        the retained deficit on Donnelley Marketing's financial statements.

                       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 recognized when the product is
    delivered or the services are performed. Data licensing revenue is primarily
    recognized based on actual usage of the data. Data licenses with fixed fees
    are recognized ratably over the term of the license with any obligations to
    provide future updates of data being recorded as deferred revenue. Deferred
    revenue is based on the percentage of data updated through out the license
    term. Reserves are established for estimated returns and uncollectible
    amounts.

    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.

    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 databases 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 databases 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



                                       15

    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.

(2) PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

    A summary of property and equipment as of June 30, 1999 and December 31,
    1998 and 1997 is shown as follows:

(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.

    The per share weighted average fair value of stock options and employee
    stock purchase rights granted during the six months ended June 30, 1999, the
    two years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the three months ended
    December 31, 1996 were: $9.70 and $6.80, $9.00 and $6.00, $8.90 and $5.90,
    and $8.20 and $5.10, respectively, on the date of grant using the Black
    Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average
    assumptions:

    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

    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.

    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.





                                       19
<PAGE>   20

    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 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.



                                       20
<PAGE>   21

       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.
