infoGROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
For purposes of this report, unless the context otherwise requires, all references herein
to the Company, Corporation, we, us, and our mean infoGROUP Inc. and its subsidiaries.
1. GENERAL
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of infoGROUP Inc. have
been prepared on the same basis as the audited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and, in
the opinion of management, contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments,
necessary to fairly present the financial information included therein. The Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule
10-01 of Regulation S-X and do not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for complete financial
statements.
This financial data should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial
Statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2008 included in the Companys 2008
Annual Reports on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) on March
16, 2009. Results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results to
be expected for the entire year.
The Company determined that certain revenues within a division of the Data Group segment were
overstated as a result of recognizing revenue for printed directories prior to it being realizable.
We corrected the error to properly present our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of
and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 in accordance with GAAP. We reduced beginning
retained earnings by an immaterial adjustment of $0.8 million after-tax to reflect the correction
of the cumulative overstatement of revenue for periods through December 31, 2005. We corrected the
remaining overstatement of $0.65 million pre-tax, ($0.4 million after-tax) for the periods
subsequent to December 31, 2005 within the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2009.
As a result of recording the correcting adjustment for the cumulative overstatement of revenue
for periods through December 31, 2005, our Consolidated Balance Sheet presented as of December 31,
2008 was adjusted. We increased deferred revenues by $1.34 million, to $60.5 million. We
increased income taxes receivable by $0.5 million, to $3.8 million. Retained earnings were
reduced by $0.84 million, to $114.1 million.
As a result of recording the correcting adjustment for the cumulative overstatement of revenue
for periods subsequent to December 31, 2005 our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations
presented for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 was adjusted. Revenues for the three
months ended June 30, 2009, were reduced by $0.9 million. Revenues for the six months ended
June 30, 2009, were reduced by $0.6 million. Net income for the three months ended June 30,
2009, was reduced by $0.5 million. Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2009, was
increased by $0.4 million. The correction reduced our earnings per share by $0.01 to $0.00
for the three months ended June 30, 2009. Our loss per share of $0.15 for the six months ended
June 30, 2009 was greater by $0.01 to a loss of $0.16 per share due to the correction.
The Company has concluded that the impact of this revenue recognition item is not material to
any one period within its previously issued financial statements. We determined that reflecting
the cumulative correction within the financial statements as an immaterial revision to beginning
retained earnings and as an adjustment to the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for
the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 is also not material. We will reflect the revision to
beginning retained earnings to our previously issued financial statements for the prior periods in
our prospective filings.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 165, Subsequent
Events, (SFAS 165) as of June 30, 2009. See Note 16 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements for new disclosures required.
The Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board, (the FASB) FASB Staff Position
(FSP) FAS 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or
Liability has Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly, as of June
30, 2009. See Note 10 of the
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for new disclosures required during
interim periods on the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value.
6
The Company adopted FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of
Financial Instruments, as of June 30, 2009. See Note 10 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements for new disclosures required during interim periods on the financial
disclosures previously required annually per SFAS No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of
Financial Instruments.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the
Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162
(SFAS 168). This statement establishes the FASB Codification as the source of authoritative
generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, the rules and interpretive releases of the
Securities and Exchange Commission continue to be sources of authoritative guidance for us per SFAS
168. We are required to adopt SFAS 168 as of September 30, 2009. We do not believe the adoption
of SFAS 168 will have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements other
than revising the disclosures within our financial statements to cite the Codification rather than
legacy accounting pronouncements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R) (SFAS
167). This statement affects the consolidation guidance established within FASB Interpretation
No. 46(R). SFAS 167 also applies to qualifying special purpose entities. This statement is
effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009. We are required to adopt SFAS 167 as
of January 1, 2010. We are currently assessing the impact that the adoption of SFAS 167 will have
on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets an
amendment of Statement No. 140 (SFAS 166). This statement is effective for financial asset
transfers that occur in fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009. SFAS 166 amends the
derecognition guidance in SFAS No. 140. We are required to adopt SFAS 166 as of January 1, 2010.
We do not believe the adoption of SFAS 166 will have a material impact on our Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements.

3. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
Macro Divestiture
During the first quarter of 2009, the Company completed its divestiture of Macro
International, Inc. (Macro) to ICF International Inc. (ICF) for proceeds of approximately
$155.0 million, resulting in a pre-tax gain of $25.2 million ($9.8 million loss after tax). Macro
was part of the Marketing Research Group segment. Accordingly, the Company reflects the results of
this business as discontinued operations for all periods presented. The assets and liabilities
divested are now classified as assets and liabilities of discontinued operations within the
Companys Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2008.
The Company finalized the working capital adjustment per the Macro sale agreement as of July
24, 2009 and recorded a current other receivable of $2.6 million within the Companys Condensed
Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2009 with a corresponding gain of $2.6 million, $1.6
million after tax, within discontinued operations of the Condensed Consolidated Statement of
Operations for the three
7
months ended June 30, 2009. The Company received the $2.6 million from
ICF on July 31, 2009 and the current escrow amount of $3.0 million was released to the Company on
August 3, 2009. The proceeds received from the Macro transaction were used to pay
down our debt.
An indemnity escrow for $10.0 million of the proceeds was also created to cover certain
stipulated scenarios that could potentially cause financial damages to the purchaser for which the
Company would be liable. The escrow period is 2 years from the date of sale. The Company is not
aware of any items that could cause it to not receive the $10.0 million out of escrow at the end of
the 2 year period.
Self insurance reserves related to health and accident claims from Macro employees that relate
to services prior to the sale date are the responsibility of the Company and will be reimbursed to
the buyer. This reserve was excluded from the working capital in the sale agreement and is $0.8
million as of June 30, 2009 and is included as part of accrued payroll expenses within the
Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
The summary comparative financial results of discontinued operations were as follows:

The effective income tax rate for discontinued operations is significantly higher than the
statutory tax rate due to $61.8 million of nondeductible goodwill related to the Macro sale. The
effective tax rate for Macros tax gain was 40.3%. Income taxes of $42.6 million related to the
sale of Macro were paid in June 2009 through monies borrowed on the revolver debt during the
quarter ended June 30, 2009. An additional $8.5 million of income taxes payable is recorded in the
Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2009. Deferred tax assets of $1.0 million and
deferred tax liabilities of $16.1 million were reclassified to current income taxes payable as part
of the sale. The deferred tax liabilities primarily consisted of temporary differences related to
intangible assets.

4. ASSETS HELD FOR SALE
Assets held for sale as of June 30, 2009 were $2.8 million, compared to $4.0 million as of
December 31, 2008. These are assets the Company is in the process of selling, and anticipates will
be sold within the next twelve months. The assets include fractional interests in aircraft of $1.2
million, land of $1.1 million and a deeded time share of $0.5 million as of June 30, 2009. During the
six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company sold its fractional interest in an aircraft for
proceeds of $0.8 million, resulting in a pre-tax loss of $6 thousand. Additionally, during the
three and six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company recorded an impairment of $0.3 million and
$0.4 million, respectively, to reflect the fair market value of its fractional interest in one of
its aircraft.

Corporate Activities includes administrative functions of the Company and other income
(expense), including interest expense, investment income and other identified gains (losses).
The following table summarizes segment information adjusted to exclude results of Macro for
the prior year. The table also excludes total assets since the Company does not prepare separate
Balance Sheets by segment and, as a result, assets are not separately identifiable by segment:

11

As of June 30, 2009, the total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested RSU grants
was approximately $3.2 million, which is expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted
average period of 1.75 years.
The Company granted no stock options during the six month period ended June 30, 2009 and
granted 50,000 stock options during the six month period ended June 30, 2008. These options, which
were issued in June 2008, have an exercise price of $6.00 (which was 118% of the fair market price
on the date of grant), will vest over a four-year period at 25% per year, and expire in June 2018,
ten years from the grant date. Historically, the Company has issued stock option grants that
either: 1) vest over an eight-year period, expire ten years from date of grant and are granted at
125% of the stocks fair market value on the date of grant, or 2) that expire five years from the
date of grant, vest over a four-year period at 25% per year and are granted at 100% of the stocks
fair market value on the date of grant.
The Company applies the Black-Scholes valuation model in determining the fair value of stock
option grants to employees and directors, which is then recognized as expense over the requisite
service period. The fair value of stock options granted was estimated using the Black-Scholes
valuation model with the following assumptions:

Not applicable as there were no stock option grants during the six months ended June 30, 2009. |
The risk-free interest rate assumptions were based on an average of the 3-year and 5-year U.S
Treasury note yields at the date of grant. The expected dividend yield was based on the dividends
paid per share of $0.35 and the Companys common stock price of $5.10 on the date of grant. The
expected volatility was based on historical daily price changes of the Companys common stock since
June 2004. The expected term was based on the historical exercise behavior and the weighted
average of the vesting period and the contractual term.

10. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS AND FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company adopted SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157) as of January 1,
2008. SFAS 157 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in
measuring fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted
prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets
that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in
which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own
assumptions. FASB Staff Position 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157, applies to
nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities and was effective January 1, 2009.
As of June 30, 2009, the Company held available-for-sale securities which are required to be
measured at fair value on a recurring basis. These assets, presented as marketable securities on
the Companys Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet are measured using quoted prices in active
markets (Level 1 inputs). The carrying amount of cash approximates fair value because of the short
maturity of these investments. There were no other-than-temporary impairment charges related to
marketable securities for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 and $0.6 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2009.
The Company also measures the fair value of certain assets on a non-recurring basis, generally
quarterly, annually, or when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount
of the assets may not be recoverable. These assets include certain noncurrent investments, fixed
assets, goodwill, and other intangible assets. The noncurrent investments are included in other
assets on the Companys Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet and are comprised of equity
investments in non-marketable securities.
14
Assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis on which impairment or other charges to
earnings were recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2009 were as follows:

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of
nonfinancial assets in the table above:
Assets held for sale. The Company valued these assets under the market approach of fair value
measurement where the Company obtains information on comparable market transactions for similar
assets during the relevant time period.
Property and equipment and intangible assets. The Company valued these assets within the Data
Group under the market approach of fair value measurement which was based on a proposed purchase
transaction of expresscopy.com negotiated with a market participant as of June 30, 2009. The
unobservable inputs include estimations made by the Company on future revenue and royalty payments, considered as contingent consideration in relation to the proposed transaction, based on historical
and projected financial information.
See footnote 4 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for details
related to the assets held for sale impairment. The impairments within the property and equipment
and intangible assets lines in the table above relate to expresscopy.com. See footnotes 11 and 12
of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further details related to
these impairments.
The following table presents the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the
Companys financial instruments at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008. The fair value of a
financial instrument is defined as the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a
current transaction between willing parties. The carrying amounts shown in the following table are
included in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets under the indicated captions.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class
of financial instruments:
Cash and cash equivalents. The carrying amounts approximate fair value because of the short
maturity of those instruments.
Marketable securities. In accordance with SFAS 157, the fair values of equity investments are
level 1 inputs as the values are based on quoted market prices at the reporting date for those or
similar investments. Our marketable securities consist of two equity securities that are publicly
traded securities.
15
Other assets, including non-marketable investment securities. Investments in companies not
traded on organized exchanges are valued on the basis of comparisons with similar companies whose
shares are publicly traded. Values for companies not publicly traded on organized exchanges may
also be based on analysis and review of valuations performed by others independent of the Company.
Long-term debt. All debt obligations are valued at the discounted amount of future cash
flows. The fair value of our long-term debt is based on quoted market prices at the reporting date
or is estimated by discounting the future cash flows of each instrument at market Treasury rates
for similar debt instruments of comparable maturities.

13. CONTINGENCIES
In February 2006, Cardinal Value Equity Partners, L.P. (Cardinal) filed a derivative lawsuit
in the Court of Chancery for the State of Delaware in and for New Castle County (the Court),
against certain current and former directors of the Company, and the Company, asserting claims for
breach of fiduciary duty. In October 2006, Dolphin Limited Partnership I, L.P., Dolphin Financial
Partners, L.L.C. and Robert Bartow (collectively with Cardinal, the Plaintiffs) filed a
derivative lawsuit in the Court against certain current and former directors of the Company, and
the Company as a nominal defendant, claiming breach of fiduciary duty and misuse of corporate
assets. In January 2007, the Court granted the defendants motion to consolidate the actions (as
Condensed Consolidated, the Derivative Litigation).
In November 2007, the Company received a request from the Denver Regional Office of the
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) asking the Company to produce voluntarily certain
documents as part of an SEC investigation. The requested documents relate to the allegations made
in the Derivative Litigation, as well as related party transactions, expense reimbursement, other
corporate expenditures, and certain trading in the Companys securities. The Special Litigation
Committee, the formation and activities of which are described in more detail below, has reported
the results of its investigation to the SEC. The SEC has issued subpoenas to the Company and a
number of its current and former directors and officers, and the Company intends to continue to
cooperate fully with the SECs requests. Because the investigation is ongoing, the Company cannot
predict the outcome of the investigation or its impact on the Companys business.
In December 2007, the Companys Board of Directors formed a Special Litigation Committee (the
SLC) in response to the Derivative Litigation and the SECs investigation. The SLC, which
consisted of five independent Board members, conducted an investigation of the issues in the
Derivative Litigation and the SECs informal investigation, as well as other related matters.
Based on its review, the SLC determined, on July 16, 2008, that various related party transactions,
expense reimbursements and corporate expenditures were excessive and, in response, approved a
series of remedial actions. The remedial actions are set forth in Item 9A, Controls and
Procedures in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2007,
which was filed on March 16, 2009.
The SLC conducted settlement discussions on behalf of the Company with all relevant parties,
including the current and former directors of the Company named in the suit, Vinod Gupta and the
Plaintiffs. On August 20, 2008, all relevant parties entered into a Stipulation of Settlement, the
material terms of which are set forth in the Companys Current Report on Form 8-K/A filed on August
22, 2008. On November 7, 2008, the Court entered an Order and Final Judgment approving all the
terms of the Stipulation of Settlement and dismissing the Derivative Litigation with prejudice.
The Courts order also awarded Plaintiffs counsel fees of $7 million and expenses in the amount of
$210,710, all paid by the Company in December 2008.
A number of remedial measures were adopted and implemented in conjunction with the Stipulation
of Settlement. Also, pursuant to the terms of the Stipulation of Settlement, Vinod Gupta resigned
as Chief Executive Officer of the Company on August 20, 2008. Mr. Gupta and the Company entered
into a Separation Agreement and General Release dated August 20, 2008 (the Separation Agreement),
under which Mr. Gupta granted a release of certain claims against the Company related to the
Derivative Litigation and the SLCs investigation and received the right to severance payments
totaling $10.0 million (contingent on Mr. Gupta adhering to certain requirements in the Separation
Agreement and Stipulation of Settlement). The Company also granted a release of certain claims
against Mr. Gupta related to the Derivative

Litigation and the SLCs investigation. The first
severance payment in the amount of $5.0 million, which was due within sixty days of execution of
the Separation Agreement, was paid by the Company to Mr. Gupta on October 17, 2008. The remaining
severance payment of $5.0 million, included within the accrued expenses line of the Condensed
Consolidated Balance Sheet is due the day after the annual shareholders meeting, which is
scheduled to be held in October 2009.
Pursuant to the Stipulation of Settlement, Mr. Gupta has agreed to pay the Company $9.0
million incrementally over four years. This receivable was recorded within equity as a note
receivable from shareholder on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The corresponding
contribution was reduced by $2.5 million for federal and state income taxes and was recorded within
paid-in capital on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Mr. Guptas first payment to the
Company, in the amount of $2.2 million, was received on January 6, 2009. The next payment of $2.2
million is due from Mr. Gupta in January 2010.
The Company has paid legal expenses associated with the SEC investigation for directors
Vinod Gupta and Elliot Kaplan. During the second quarter of 2009, the Company paid $1,138,623 for
Vinod Gupta and $4,871 for Elliot Kaplan and for the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company
has paid $3,133,715 of these expenses for Vinod Gupta and $9,727 for Elliot Kaplan. These payments
were made as advances to the directors for legal expenses and were done in accordance with the
Companys Bylaws and Delaware law. The payments on behalf of Elliot Kaplan were made to his law
firm, Robins, Kaplan, Miller & Ciresi L.L.P. As announced in our Form 8-K filed on July 1, 2009,
Elliot Kaplan resigned as a director of the Company effective June 30, 2009 in accordance with the
terms of the Stipulation of Settlement, the material terms of which are set forth in the Companys
Current Report on Form 8-K/A filed on August 22, 2008.
The Internal Revenue Service began an audit in the first quarter of 2009 of the Companys United States
tax returns for the years 2005 through 2007. The Company believes its tax positions comply with
applicable tax law and intends to defend its positions. However, differing positions on certain
issues could be reached by tax authorities, which could adversely affect the Companys financial
condition and results of operations.
The Company is subject to legal claims and assertions in the ordinary course of business.
Although the outcomes of any other lawsuits and claims are uncertain, the Company does not believe
that, individually or in the aggregate, any such lawsuits or claims will have a material effect on
its business, financial condition and results of operations or liquidity.
14. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

owned by Jess Gupta, and used by the Company. Jess Gupta is the son of Vinod Gupta, the Companys
former Chief Executive Officer. The Companys rental of this condominium was discontinued in

During the second quarter of 2009 and 2008 Everest Inc. (f/k/a Vinod Gupta & Company, f/k/a
Annapurna Corporation), Everest Investment Management LLC and Everest Capital Partners, Inc. rented

space by Everest Inc., Everest Investment Management LLC and Everest Capital Partners, Inc. was
terminated in April 2009. Additionally, the Company received reimbursements for use of office space
from PK Ware, Inc., an entity of which George Haddix, who was a director of the Company at that
time, is a majority shareholder. Reimbursements received from Dr. Haddix were $2 thousand during
the second quarter of 2008. The Company received $1 thousand for reimbursements for use of office

15. DEBT
At June 30, 2009, the term loan of the Senior Secured Credit Facility entered into on
February 14, 2006 (as amended, the 2006 Credit Facility), due February 2012, had a balance of
$77.0 million, bearing an average interest rate of 2.6%. The revolving line of credit had a
balance of $73.5 million, bearing an interest rate of 2.84%, and $101.5 million was available under

Substantially all of the assets of the Company are pledged as security under the terms of the 2006
Credit Facility. At June 30, 2009, the mortgage loan for the Papillion and Ralston facilities, due
June 2017, had a balance of $41.1 million. During the quarter ended June 30, 2009, debt was
reduced by $5.8 million. Debt was reduced by $107.2 million during the six months ended June 30,
2009 ($92.7 million related to the proceeds received from the sale of Macro).
18
In light of the Special Litigation Committees investigation described in Note 13 of the Notes
to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company was unable to file its Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 (the 2007 Form 10-K) and the Form 10-Q
for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 (the First Quarter 2008 Form 10-Q) by the SECs filing
deadline. Failure to timely file the 2007 Form 10-K and the First Quarter 2008 Form 10-Q and
provide annual and quarterly financial statements to the lenders to the 2006 Credit Facility would
have constituted a default under the 2006 Credit Facility. Therefore, on March 26, 2008, the
Company and the lenders to the 2006 Credit Facility entered into a Third Amendment (the Third
Amendment) to the 2006 Credit Facility which, among other things: (1) extended the deadlines by
which the Company must file the 2007 Form 10-K and the First Quarter 2008 Form 10-Q and provide
certain annual and quarterly financial statements to the lenders; (2) waived any other defaults
arising from these filing delays; and (3) modified the covenant related to operating leases. On
June 27, 2008, the Company and the lenders to the 2006 Credit Facility entered into a Fourth
Amendment to the 2006 Credit Facility, which extended the deadlines for filing with the SEC the
2007 Form 10-K and the First Quarter 2008 Form 10-Q to August 15, 2008, and the Form 10-Q for the
quarter ended June 30, 2008 to August 29, 2008.
On March 27, 2009, as a result of the purchase agreement between the Company and ICF regarding
the sale of Macro as described in Note 3 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements, the Company and the lenders to the 2006 Credit Facility entered into a Fifth Amendment
(the Fifth Amendment) to the 2006 Credit Facility (as amended by the Third Amendment, Fourth
Amendment and the Fifth Amendment, the Amended 2006 Credit Facility), which, among other things:
(1) consents to the sale of Macro to ICF; and (2) governs the application of proceeds from the sale
of Macro. The Fifth Amendment did not change the terms of the credit agreement. The Fifth Amendment
became effective contemporaneously with the closing of the Macro transaction on March 31, 2009.
The Company recorded $0 million and $1.1 million in fees during the three and six months ended June
30, 2009, respectively, related to the Fifth Amendment, which were recorded in deferred financing
costs within intangible assets in the Companys Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
As a result of the amendments, the Company was in compliance with all restrictive covenants of
the Amended 2006 Credit Facility as of June 30, 2009. The Company filed the 2007 Form 10-K and the
First Quarter 2008 Form 10-Q with the SEC on August 8, 2008, the Second Quarter 2008 Form 10-Q on
August 21, 2008 and timely filed its Form 10-Q for the quarters ended September 30, 2008 and March
31, 2009 and its Form 10-K and Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2008 on November 10,
2008 and March 16, 2009, respectively.
16. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
We have evaluated events that have occurred subsequent to June 30, 2009 through August 10,
2009, the date of our financial statement issuance.
The Board of Directors of the Company named Roger Siboni, a current independent Board Member,
as its chairman effective July 31, 2009, as announced in our Form 8-K filed on August 4, 2009.
Bernard W. Reznicek, the Companys former chairman, will remain on the Companys Board of Directors
as an independent director.

General
Overview
We report results in three segments: the Data Group, the Services Group, and the Marketing
Research Group.
On June 1, 2008, we changed our Company name from infoUSA Inc. to infoGROUP Inc. (the
Company or infoGROUP or we). We are a Delaware corporation incorporated in 1972.
Our key strategic initiatives for 2009 include:
|
|
|
Continuing and expanding our initiatives of outreach, transparency and communications
with our shareholders and the entire investment community. |
|
|
|
Accelerating our organic, profitable growth by leveraging our leadership position as
a data provider across our subsidiaries, creating both internal and external strategic
alliances to add value to new and existing customers, and capitalizing on our existing
cross selling opportunities among subsidiaries. We anticipate concentrating our efforts
on these opportunities for internal growth, instead of pursuing revenue growth primarily
through acquisitions. |
|
|
|
Reinvesting in the business to expand our product offerings, particularly in the
integrated digital realm. We plan to provide our customers new products and services,
including more internet based and interactive marketing solutions. |
|
|
|
Improving our financial foundation, by reducing costs (without jeopardizing service
to our customers), continuing to reduce our debt levels and leveraging our high margin
products to increase profitability. |
|
|
|
Continuing our focus on improved corporate governance, including operating under our
recently revamped formal policies, functioning under the guidance of our restructured
majority independent Board and working with our new management team. |
Sales & Marketing Strategy
We have continued to position infoGROUP as a leading brand using multiple channels, including
direct mail, print, search marketing, online advertising and email. We rebalanced our marketing
mix and dollars spent, emphasizing the most cost-effective channels with the highest return on
investment.
Social media is a new market we are building plans around. We have begun to cautiously
utilize social media for marketing, communication, education, branding and public relations, with
the goal of being an industry expert and thought leader. Including social media in go-to-market
strategies will result in increased traffic to websites, better customer service and connection
with other industry leaders.
20
Growth Strategy
Our growth strategy continues to have multiple components. Our primary growth strategy is to
improve our organic growth. Key to this is our effort to replace revenue from declining
traditional direct marketing products and services with our on-line Internet subscription
services. Subscription services offer enhanced annual revenue per customer, assure greater
multi-year revenue retention, and, most importantly, provide greater value to our customers by
providing on-going Internet access to our content and customer acquisition and retention software
tools. Delivery of information via the Internet is the method preferred by our customers. We are
investing in Internet technology to develop subscription-based new customer development services
for businesses and sales persons.
We also intend to continue to grow through strategic acquisitions when presented with
appropriate opportunities. We have grown through more than 35 strategic acquisitions in the last
eleven years. These acquisitions have enabled us to acquire the requisite critical mass to compete
over the long term in the database, direct marketing, e-mail marketing and market research
industries. We also intend to grow through strategic alliances with other players in our industry.
We recently signed a strategic alliance agreement with Experian which will allow us to gain market
share. We continue to see strategic alliances as an integral part of our growth strategy.
We also are focusing on international growth opportunities. We are now upgrading our
international business databases and expanding our own compilation efforts and entering into
strategic alliances worldwide. Our comprehensive international database includes information on
approximately 4.8 million large public and private non-U.S. companies in approximately 200
countries. There are over 11.3 million executives represented in our non-U.S. global database,
which is constantly updated using several daily news sources to track changes such as executive
changes, mergers and acquisitions, and late breaking company news. We are also putting emphasis on
more comprehensive financial information and regulatory filings. Examples include SEC filings,
annual reports, analyst and industry reports, and detailed corporate family structures.
As we continue to enhance our international databases, we are pursuing high growth, emerging
markets in the Asia-Pacific region, Western Europe, and Australia. Using London as our
international headquarters, we have sales offices in Hong Kong, New Delhi, Sydney and Singapore.
In 2007, we announced our plan to compile a business database in the United Kingdom.
This database, created from a variety of publicly available sources and strategic alliances,
currently contains information on approximately 1.5 million phone verified UK businesses with
growth expected to total 2.1 million by the end of the 2009 fiscal year. We are also conducting
telephone surveys to businesses in the database to augment the file with a variety of proprietary
information, including: trading address, name of the owner or manager, number of employees per
location, web site address (URL), email addresses, years established, and whether the business is a
single location or part of a larger company. We plan to market this database to small and large
customers in the form of customized list products, online access, subscription services, and
license agreements to value added resellers.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, selected financial information and
other data. The amounts and related percentages may not be fully comparable due to acquisitions.

Net sales
Net sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 were $121.6 million, a decrease of 18% from
$148.5 million for the same period in 2008. Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2009 were
$249.1 million, a decrease of 17% from $301.8 million for the same period in 2008. Company-wide,
we experienced a decline in sales as a result of the weakened economy. The softness in demand
resulted in a loss of revenue per customer. In total, the revenue for the Company for the quarter
ended June 30, 2009 also reflects the negative impact of foreign currency exchange rate
fluctuations of $3.8 million as compared to the same period in 2008.
The Data Group provides our proprietary databases and database marketing solutions, and
principally engages in the selling of sales lead generation products to small- to medium-sized
companies, small office and home office businesses and individual consumers. Customers purchase our
information as custom lists or on a subscription basis primarily through the Internet. Sales of
subscription-based products require us to recognize revenues over the subscription period instead
of at the time of sale. This segment also includes the licensing of our databases to value-added
resellers. Net sales of the Data Group for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 were $62.1 million, a
22% decrease from $79.6 million for the same period in 2008. Net sales for the six months ended
June 30, 2009 were $129.4 million, a decrease of 21% from $163.0 million for the same period in
2008. The decrease in Data Group net sales that was related to the change in foreign currency for
our operations in the United Kingdom and Canada during the quarter ended June 30, 2009 was
approximately $1.4 million, or 2%. For the quarter ended June 30, 2009 compared to the quarter
ended June 30, 2008, the British Pound decreased 22% and the Canadian Dollar decreased 14%. The
decrease experienced in 2009 is due to a decline in demand for the traditional direct marketing
products resulting in lower order volumes from our existing customers and lower royalties from our
licensing customers. In addition, our competitors have been
22
aggressive in pricing which has forced
lower pricing from us resulting in fewer revenue dollars for the Data Group. The Data Group has
entered into a strategic alliance as of June 30, 2009 with Experian which is expected to result in
revenue and royalties growth increasing our net profit over the next five years.
The Services Group provides e-mail marketing solutions, list brokerage and list management
services and online interactive marketing services to large companies in the United States, Canada
and globally. Net sales of the Services Group for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 were $34.8
million, a 12% decrease from $39.4 million for the same period in 2008. Net sales of the Services
Group for the six months ended June 30, 2009 were $70.5 million, a 12% decrease from $79.9 million
for the same period in 2008. The majority of the decrease in Services Group net sales is related
to lower volumes in mailings for list brokerage and list management customers as customers are
moving more towards digital offerings, which is a focus of the Company, and customers having less
marketing spend with the weakened economy. Our decreases in revenues were slightly offset by
growth in our digital business as e-mail and cellular text marketing continues to become a larger
part of corporate advertising. We expect revenues to pick up during the last half of the year as
the business is somewhat seasonal; parallel to the retail industry.
The Marketing Research Group provides diversified market and business research. Net sales of
the Marketing Research Group for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 were $24.7 million, a 16% decrease
from $29.4 million for the same period in 2008. Net sales of the Marketing Research Group for the
six months ended June 30, 2009 were $49.2 million, a 16% decrease from $58.9 million for the same
period in 2008. The decrease in Marketing Research Group net sales that was related to the change
in foreign currency exchange rates, mainly for our operations in the United Kingdom and Australia,
was $2.2 million, or 9%. For the quarter ended June 30, 2009 compared to the quarter ended June
30, 2008, the British Pound decreased 22% and the Australian Dollar decreased 20%. Additionally,
the Marketing Research Group is experiencing declines in project based orders, and delays in the
fulfillment of existing projects as customers are delaying the fulfillment of orders due to the
economy.
We anticipate consolidated revenue levels for the quarter ending September 30, 2009 to approximate the
results of the quarter ended June 30, 2009.
Cost of goods and services
Cost of goods and services for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 were $45.9 million, or 38% of
net sales, compared to $52.1 million, or 35% of net sales for the same period in 2008. Cost of

same period in 2008 while costs of goods and services decreased $10.4 million or 10% for the six
months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008. Decreases in costs of goods and
services is primarily driven by an overall decrease in sales offset by costs that are fixed in
nature and do not correlate directly with the change in revenues.

million, or 33% of net sales, compared to $23.1 million, or 29% of net sales for the same period in

$41.0 million, or 32% of net sales, compared to $45.2 million, or 28% of net sales for the same
period in 2008. The decrease in cost of goods and services is due to the decrease in net sales for
the first quarter of 2009 as compared to the same period in 2008; however, costs did not decrease
at the same rate because a majority of the database compilation and product development costs are
fixed and do not fluctuate directly with sales.
Cost of goods and services of the Services Group for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 were $9.4
million, or 27% of net sales, compared to $9.5 million, or 24% of net sales for the same period in

$19.1 million, or 27% of net sales, compared to $19.0 million, or 24% of net sales for the same

due to the costs associated with e-mail and cellular text marketing due to the growth of the
digital business.

ended June 30, 2009 were $30.9 million, or 63% of net sales, compared to $36.8 million, or 63% of

the same period in 2008 offset slightly by increased costs incurred in 2009 related to specific
tailored marketing programs developed to increase revenue.

certain restructuring costs to achieve these cost savings. In the on-going effort to achieve these
cost savings, the Company eliminated $2.3 million and $8.4 million in costs for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2009, respectively. We are ahead of our original costs savings projections
and will continue to make significant strides through the remainder of the year.

for the quarters ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Other expense, net was $6.7
million, or 3% of net sales, and $7.6 million, or 3% of net sales, for the six months ended June

respectively, and $5.4 million and $9.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008,
respectively. The decrease in interest expense is due to the decrease in our long-term debt
balances as we have made significant efforts to pay down our debt. Debt was reduced by $5.8
million during the second quarter of 2009. Other charges for the six months ended 2009 were $1.3
million compared to other income of $0.2 million for the same period in 2008. Other charges for

of receiving proceeds from the sale of Macro of $155.0 million, less the net investment and
transaction costs of $129.8 million, resulting in a pre-tax gain of $25.2 million, less income tax
expense of $35.0 million. The Company finalized the working capital adjustment per the Macro sale

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
At June 30, 2009, the term loan of the Senior Secured Credit Facility entered into on
February 14, 2006 (as amended, the 2006 Credit Facility), due February 2012, had a balance of
$77.0 million, bearing an average interest rate of 2.6%. The revolving line of credit had a
balance of $73.5 million, bearing an interest rate of 2.84%, and $101.5 million was available under
the revolving line of credit which is due
26
February 2011. During June 2009, the Company borrowed
against the revolver to make income tax payments of $42.6 million related to the sale of Macro.
Substantially all of the assets of the Company are pledged as security under the terms of the 2006
Credit Facility. During the quarter ended June 30, 2009, debt was reduced by $5.8 million, $5.0
million of which was a voluntary debt repayment. Debt was reduced by $107.2 million during the six
months ended June 30, 2009 ($92.7 million related to the proceeds received from Macro).
The 2006 Credit Facility provides for grid-based interest pricing based upon our Condensed
Consolidated total leverage ratio. Interest rates for use of the revolving line of credit range
from base rate (the higher or the Federal Funds Rate plus 1/2 of 1% or the prime rate established by
the administrative agent) plus 0.25% to 1.00% for base rate loans and LIBOR plus 1.25% to 2.00% for
Eurodollar rate loans. Interest rates for the term loan range from base rate plus 0.75% to 1.00%
for base rate loans and LIBOR plus 1.75% to 2.00% for Eurodollar rate loans. Subject to certain
limitations set forth in the 2006 Credit Facility, we may designate borrowings under the 2006
Credit Facility as base rate loans or Eurodollar loans.
We are subject to and are in compliance with the non-financial and financial covenants in the
2006 Credit Facility, which includes a minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio, maximum
consolidated total leverage ratio and minimum consolidated net worth. The fixed charge coverage
ratio and leverage ratio financial covenants are based on earnings before interest expense, income
taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), with adjustments to EBITDA for certain agreed upon
items including non-operating, non-recurring gains (losses), other charges (gains), asset
impairments, non-cash stock compensation expense and other items specified in the 2006 Credit
Facility. For the twelve month period ended June 30, 2009, our financial covenants were as
follows: our consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio was 5.79, compared to a minimum required of
1.15; our consolidated total leverage ratio was 2.09, compared to a maximum allowed of 2.75; and at
the quarter ended June 30, 2009, our consolidated net worth was $244.1 million, compared to a
minimum required of $220.0 million.
On May 23, 2007, the Company entered into mortgage loan transactions with Suburban Capital. As
part of the transactions, the Company transferred the titles to the Companys headquarters in
Ralston, Nebraska, and its data compilation facility in Papillion, Nebraska, to newly formed
limited liability company subsidiaries, and these properties serve as collateral for the
transactions. The Company entered into long-term lease agreements with these subsidiaries for the
continued and sole use of the properties. The Company also entered into guaranty agreements wherein
it guarantees the payment and performance of various obligations as defined in the agreements
including, under certain circumstances, the mortgage debt. In late July 2007, the loans were sold
on the secondary market as part of a collateralized mortgage-backed securitization transaction.
Midland Loan Services became the loan servicer for the mortgage loans, but terms of the notes and
deeds of trust were otherwise unchanged. The loans have an effective term of ten years due June
2017 and were priced with a fixed coupon rate of 6.082%. Payments will be interest only for the
first five years; for years six through ten, payments will be comprised of principal and interest
based upon a thirty-year amortization. Proceeds from this transaction were approximately
$41.1 million before fees and expenses. The proceeds were used to retire the existing debt for the
Papillion and Ralston facilities of approximately $12.8 million and the remaining net proceeds of
$26.7 million were used to reduce amounts outstanding under the Companys revolving credit
facility.
In light of the Special Litigation Committees investigation described in Note 13 of the Notes
to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company was unable to file its Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 (the 2007 Form 10-K) and the Form 10-Q
for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 (the First Quarter 2008 Form 10-Q) by the SECs filing
deadline. Failure to timely file the 2007 Form 10-K and the First Quarter 2008 Form 10-Q and
provide annual and quarterly financial statements to the lenders to the 2006 Credit Facility would
have constituted a default under the 2006 Credit Facility. Therefore, on March 26, 2008, the
Company and the lenders to the 2006 Credit Facility entered into a Third Amendment (the Third
Amendment) to the 2006 Credit Facility which, among other things: (1) extended the deadlines by
which the Company must file the 2007 Form 10-K and the First Quarter 2008 Form 10-Q and provide
certain annual and quarterly financial statements to the lenders; (2) waived any other defaults
arising from these filing delays; and (3) modified the covenant related to operating leases. On
June 27, 2008, the Company and the lenders to the 2006 Credit Facility entered into a Fourth
Amendment (the Fourth Amendment) to the 2006 Credit Facility, which extended the deadlines for
filing with the SEC the 2007 Form 10-K and the First Quarter 2008 Form 10-Q to August 15, 2008, and
the Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 (the Second Quarter 2008 Form 10-Q) to August
29, 2008.
On March 27, 2009, as a result of the purchase agreement between the Company and ICF regarding
the sale of Macro as described in Note 3 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements, the Company and the lenders to the 2006 Credit Facility entered into a Fifth Amendment
(the Fifth Amendment) to the 2006 Credit Facility, which, among other things: (1) consented to
the sale of Macro to ICF; and (2) governs the application of proceeds from the sale of Macro. The
Fifth Amendment did not change the terms of the Credit Agreement. The Fifth Amendment became
effective contemporaneously with the closing of the Macro transaction on March 31, 2009.
As a result of the amendments, the Company was in compliance with all restrictive covenants of
the Amended 2006 Credit Facility as of June 30, 2009. The Company filed the 2007 Form 10-K and the
First Quarter 2008 Form 10-Q with the SEC on August 8, 2008, the Second Quarter 2008 Form 10-Q on
August 21, 2008, and timely filed its Form 10-Q for the quarters ended September 30, 2008 on
November 10, 2008
27
and March 31, 2009 on May 11, 2009. The Company filed its Form 10-K and 10-K/A
for the year ended December 31, 2008 on March 16, 2009 and April 30, 2009, respectively.
The 2006 Credit Facility provides that we may pay cash dividends on our common stock or
repurchase shares of our common stock provided that (1) before and after giving effect to such
dividend or repurchase, no event of default exists or would exist under the credit agreement, (2)
before and after giving effect to such dividend or repurchase, our consolidated total leverage
ratio is not more than 2.75 to 1.00, and (3) the aggregate amount of all cash dividends and stock
repurchases during any loan year does not exceed $20 million, except that there is no cap limit on
the amount of cash dividends or stock repurchases so long as, after giving effect to the dividend
or repurchase, our consolidated total leverage ratio is not more than 2.00 to 1.00. On January 30,
2009, the Board of Directors voted to eliminate the dividend that is historically paid at the
beginning of our fiscal year. No assurance can be given that dividends will be paid in the future
since they are dependent on our earnings, cash flows from operations and financial condition and
other factors. The Credit Facility has certain restrictions on the ability to declare dividends on
our common stock.
As of June 30, 2009, the Company has incurred $32.3 million in professional fees and legal
expenses attributable to the Special Litigation Committees investigation, the Derivative
Litigation and the SECs investigation. This includes $3.0 million incurred in 2007, $23.6 million
incurred in 2008 and $5.7 million incurred in 2009. The Company expects to incur additional
expenses related to the SEC investigation going forward.
As of June 30, 2009, we had a working capital deficit of $34.5 million, which included $56.9
million of deferred revenue. The Company has consistently generated positive cash flows from
continuing operations which has enabled us, in part, to improve our capital structure by reducing
our debt and interest expense. The Company will need to refinance its debt in the future. The
first tranche of debt is due in February 2011 and is $73.5 million at June 30, 2009. The Company
does plan to continue to pay down its debt over time; however, the Company will need to have plans
in place to refinance its existing debt. The Company has already begun discussions with its lead
bank on a refinancing plan. We believe that our existing sources of liquidity and cash generated
from continuing operations, combined with our continued access to the capital markets to refinance
our debt as it comes due in February 2011 and 2012, will satisfy our projected working capital,
debt repayments and other cash requirements. Acquisitions of other technologies, products or
companies, or internal product development efforts may require us to obtain additional equity or
debt financing, which may not be available or may be dilutive.
Selected Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows Information
Net cash used in operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2009 totaled $12.8
million compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $20.1 million for the same period
in 2008. The $32.9 million increase in net cash used in operating activities was primarily driven by Macro, which was sold in the first
quarter of 2009 and had an increase in net cash used in operating activities of $23.1 million, as
well as a decrease in net income from continuing operations of $9.4 million, offset by larger
payments for restructuring, bonuses, and commissions in the prior year.
Net cash provided by investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2009
totaled $121.1 million, compared to net cash used in investing activities of $34.1 million for the
same period in 2008. The increase in investing activities cash flow is mainly attributable to the
sale of Macro net assets for $128.4 million reflected in the six months ended June 30, 2009, while
the six months ended June 30, 2008 reflects cash used primarily in the acquisition of Direct Media, Inc. of
$18.2 million in January 2008.
Net cash used in financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2009 totaled
$106.1 million, compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $12.8 million for the same
period in 2008. Net payments of long-term debt were $107.2 million during the six months ended
June 30, 2009 primarily as a result of proceeds received in the Macro divestiture. For the same
period in 2008, net proceeds from long-term debt were $33.7 million, which were used for dividends
paid of $19.8 million and the Direct Media, Inc. acquisition.
Selected Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet Information
The December 31, 2008 Balance Sheet has been adjusted to classify the Macro assets and
liabilities divested as assets and liabilities of discontinued operations.
Trade accounts receivable decreased to $42.3 million at June 30, 2009 from $56.0 million at
December 31, 2008. The decrease was the result of declines in revenues and timing of collection of
invoices.
List brokerage trade accounts receivable decreased to $66.5 million at June 30, 2009 from
$86.8 million at December 31, 2008. The decrease is the result of a decline in revenues for the
for the list brokerage business due to the seasonality of the industry, as well as the weakened
economy.
28
The Company finalized the working capital calculation per the Macro sale agreement as of July
24, 2009. The current other receivable of $2.6 million was recorded within the Companys Condensed
Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2009 in conjunction with the finalization of the working
capital calculation. The Company received the $2.6 million from ICF on July 31, 2009. The current escrow amount of $3.0
million was released to the Company on August 3, 2009.
Goodwill decreased to $353.1 million at June 30, 2009 from $377.7 million at December 31, 2008
resulting from the sale of Macro.
The escrow, noncurrent balance of $10.0 million at June 30, 2009 represents an estimate of
proceeds to be released from an escrow account associated with the Macro divestiture for indemnity
claims.
Accounts payable decreased to $19.1 million at June 30, 2009 from $29.6 million at December
31, 2008. The decrease was primarily due to the reduction of the cash overdraft position which is
reflected in accounts payable, as well as overall reduced expenses.
List brokerage trade accounts payable decreased to $59.4 million at June 30, 2009 from $79.8
million at December 31, 2008, which is related to the decrease in the list brokerage trade accounts
receivable.
Income taxes payable increased to $4.5 million at June 30, 2009 as compared to income taxes
receivable of $3.8 million at December 31, 2008. The change was due to the income taxes payable of
$51.1 million related to the Macro sale less payments of $42.6 million made in June 2009.
Our long-term debt decreased to $190.6 million at June 30, 2009 from $297.7 million at
December 31, 2008. The decrease in long-term debt, net of current portion is primarily due to the
use of the net proceeds received in the Macro divestiture to pay down debt.
Note receivable shareholder decreased to $6.8 million at June 30, 2009 from $9.0 million at
December 31, 2008 due to the receipt of the first payment of $2.2 million from the former Chief
Executive Officer pursuant to the Stipulation of Settlement.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Other than rents associated with facility leasing arrangements, the Company does not engage in
off-Balance Sheet financing activities. The Companys operating lease commitments are included in
the contractual obligations table set forth in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 2008 under Item 7, Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 1 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for details on
recent accounting pronouncements.
Inflation
We do not believe that the rate of inflation has had a material effect on our operating
results. However, inflation could adversely affect our future operating results if it were to
result in a substantial weakening of the economic condition.

ITEM 3. |
|
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK |
We have identified interest rate risk as our primary market risk exposure. Because nearly all
our debts are at variable rates, any significant changes to interest rates may adversely impact our
earnings and cash flow. If necessary, we could refinance our debt to fixed rates or utilize
interest rate protection agreements to manage interest rate risk. For example, each 100 basis point
increase (decrease) in the interest rate would cause an annual increase (decrease) in interest
expense of approximately $1.5 million. At June 30, 2009, we had long-term debt with a carrying
value of $193.5 million, and an estimated fair value of $198.3 million.

ITEM 4. |

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures
The Company is responsible for maintaining disclosure controls and other procedures that are
designed so that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or
submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and communicated to management,
including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions
regarding required disclosure within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms.
In connection with the preparation of this Form 10-Q, management performed an evaluation of
the Companys disclosure controls and procedures. The evaluation was performed, under the
supervision of and with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial
Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Companys disclosure controls and
procedures, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) as of June 30, 2009. In addition, as
described under Item 9A, Controls and Procedures in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 2008, management identified a material weakness in the Companys
internal control over financial reporting, which is an integral component of its disclosure
controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures were not
effective as of June 30, 2009.
As of June 30, 2009, the Company has executed many of the planned items in our process of
remediating the existing material weakness, as described in more detail below.
(b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting
The Company has implemented the following remedial actions to address the material weakness as
described under Item 9A, Control and Procedures in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 2008:
|
|
|
On December 5, 2008, the Company appointed a new Executive Vice President and Chief
Financial Officer. |
|
|
|
On December 12, 2008, the Company hired a new Director of GAAP Analysis to assist with
accounting for non-routine transactions. |
|
|
|
On April 6, 2009, the Company hired a new Manager of Income Tax Accounting. |
|
|
|
On June 8, 2009, the Company hired a Vice President of Financial Reporting reporting
directly to the Chief Financial Officer. |
|
|
|
On June 8, 2009, the Company appointed a Senior Vice President and a Vice President of
Financial Planning and Analysis. |
|
|
|
On June 8, 2009, the Company announced that the Companys Group Controllers for our
three operating segments report directly to the Corporate Controller. |
|
|
|
On June 29, 2009, the Company hired a new Assistant Corporate Controller reporting
directly to the Corporate Controller. |
Other than as described above, no other changes were made during the second quarter of 2009 in
the Companys internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the
Exchange Act) that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal
control over financial reporting. We will continue our on-going review of the accounting and
finance functions throughout 2009. We believe that these steps, in addition to strengthening and
increasing our GAAP expertise, will remediate the material weakness in internal control over
financial reporting as of December 31, 2009 that was reported as of December 31, 2008.

ITEM 1. |

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS |
In February 2006, Cardinal Value Equity Partners, L.P. (Cardinal) filed a derivative lawsuit
in the Court of Chancery for the State of Delaware in and for New Castle County (the Court),
against certain current and former directors of the Company, and the Company, asserting claims for
breach of fiduciary duty. In October 2006, Dolphin Limited Partnership I, L.P., Dolphin Financial
Partners, L.L.C. and Robert Bartow (collectively with Cardinal, the Plaintiffs) filed a
derivative lawsuit in the Court against certain current and former directors of the Company, and
the Company as a nominal defendant, claiming breach of fiduciary duty and misuse of corporate
assets. In January 2007, the Court granted the defendants motion to consolidate the actions (as
Condensed Consolidated, the Derivative Litigation).
In November 2007, the Company received a request from the Denver Regional Office of the
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) asking the Company to produce voluntarily certain
documents as part of an SEC investigation. The requested documents relate to the allegations made
in the Derivative Litigation, as well as related party transactions, expense reimbursement, other
corporate expenditures, and certain trading in the Companys securities. The Special Litigation
Committee, the formation and activities of which are described in more detail below, has reported
the results of its investigation to the SEC. The SEC has issued subpoenas to the Company and a
number of its current and former directors and officers, and the Company intends to continue to
cooperate fully with the SECs requests. Because the investigation is ongoing, the Company cannot
predict the outcome of the investigation or its impact on the Companys business.
In December 2007, the Companys Board of Directors formed a Special Litigation Committee (the
SLC) in response to the Derivative Litigation and the SECs investigation. The SLC, which
consisted of five independent Board members, conducted an investigation of the issues in the
Derivative Litigation and the SECs informal investigation, as well as other related matters.
Based on its review, the SLC determined, on July 16, 2008, that various related party transactions,
expense reimbursements and corporate expenditures were excessive and, in response, approved a
series of remedial actions. The remedial actions are set forth in Item 9A, Controls and
Procedures in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2007,
which was filed on March 16, 2009.
The SLC conducted settlement discussions on behalf of the Company with all relevant parties,
including the current and former directors of the Company named in the suit, Vinod Gupta and the
Plaintiffs. On August 20, 2008, all relevant parties entered into a Stipulation of Settlement, the
material terms of which are set forth in the Companys Current Report on Form 8-K/A filed on August
22, 2008. On November 7, 2008, the Court entered an Order and Final Judgment approving all the
terms of the Stipulation of Settlement and dismissing the Derivative Litigation with prejudice.
The Courts order also awarded Plaintiffs counsel fees of $7 million and expenses in the amount of
$210,710, all paid by the Company in December 2008.
A number of remedial measures were adopted and implemented in conjunction with the Stipulation
of Settlement. Also, pursuant to the terms of the Stipulation of Settlement, Vinod Gupta resigned
as Chief Executive Officer of the Company on August 20, 2008. Mr. Gupta and the Company entered
into a Separation Agreement and General Release dated August 20, 2008 (the Separation Agreement),
under which Mr. Gupta granted a release of certain claims against the Company related to the
Derivative Litigation and the SLCs investigation and received the right to severance payments
totaling $10.0 million (contingent on Mr. Gupta adhering to certain requirements in the Separation
Agreement and Stipulation of Settlement). The Company also granted a release of certain claims
against Mr. Gupta related to the Derivative Litigation and the SLCs investigation. The first
severance payment in the amount of $5.0 million, which was due within sixty days of execution of
the Separation Agreement, was paid by the Company to Mr. Gupta on October 17, 2008.
Pursuant to the Stipulation of Settlement, Mr. Gupta has agreed to pay the Company $9.0
million incrementally over four years. This receivable was recorded within equity as a note
receivable from shareholder on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The corresponding
contribution was reduced by $2.5 million for federal and state income taxes and was recorded within
paid-in capital on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Mr. Guptas first payment to the
Company, in the amount of $2.2 million, was received on January 6, 2009.
The Company has paid legal expenses associated with the SEC investigation for directors Vinod
Gupta and Elliot Kaplan. During the second quarter of 2009, the Company paid $1,138,623 for Vinod
Gupta and $4,871 for Elliot Kaplan and for the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company has paid
$3,133,715 of these expenses for Vinod Gupta and $9,727 for Elliot Kaplan. These payments were
made as advances to the directors for legal expenses and were done in accordance with the Companys
Bylaws and Delaware law. The payments on behalf of Elliot Kaplan were made to his law firm,
Robins, Kaplan, Miller & Ciresi L.L.P. As announced in our Form 8-K filed on July 1, 2009,
31
Elliot
Kaplan resigned as a director of the Company effective June 30, 2009 in accordance with
the terms of the Stipulation of Settlement, the material terms of which are set forth in the
Companys Current Report on Form 8-K/A filed on August 22, 2008.
The Internal Revenue Service began an audit in the first quarter of 2009 of the Companys United States
tax return for the years 2005 through 2007. The Company believes its tax positions comply with
applicable tax law and intends to defend its positions. However, differing positions on certain
issues could be reached by tax authorities, which could adversely affect the Companys financial
condition and results of operations.
The Company is subject to legal claims and assertions in the ordinary course of business.
Although the outcomes of any other lawsuits and claims are uncertain, the Company does not believe
that, individually or in the aggregate, any such lawsuits or claims will have a material effect on
its business, financial conditions, results of operations or liquidity.
