- •
- the application of the assumptions, reclassifications and adjustments described in the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of March 31, 2011 is presented as if the acquisition of One Communications, the issuance of the notes offered hereby and the use of approximately $255.8 million of the net proceeds of this offering to redeem EarthLink's 3.25% convertible senior notes had occurred on March 31, 2011. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 are presented as if the acquisition of One Communications, the issuance of the notes offered hereby and the use of approximately $255.8 million of the net proceeds of this offering to redeem our 3.25% convertible senior notes had occurred on January 1, 2010. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 are also presented as if the acquisition of ITC^DeltaCom had occurred on January 1, 2010.
The historical consolidated financial information has been adjusted to give effect to pro forma events that are (i) directly attributable to the transactions, (ii) factually supportable and (iii) with respect to the statement of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements should be read in conjunction with the historical consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes of EarthLink, One Communications and ITC^DeltaCom included elsewhere in this document.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been presented for informational purposes only. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are not intended to represent or be indicative of what the combined company's results of operations or financial position that would have reported had the acquisition been completed as of the dates presented, and should not be taken as a representation of the combined company's future consolidated results of operations or financial position. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements do not reflect any operating efficiencies and cost savings that may be achieved with respect to the combined companies or the costs necessary to achieve these cost savings and operating synergies.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been prepared using the acquisition method of accounting. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price used in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements is based upon preliminary estimates. These preliminary estimates and assumptions are subject to change during the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date) as EarthLink finalizes the valuations of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired in connection with the acquisition.

1. Basis of Presentation
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are based on the historical financial statements of EarthLink, Inc. ("EarthLink"), One Communications Corp. ("One Communications") and ITC^DeltaCom, Inc. ("ITC^DeltaCom") after giving effect to: (1) EarthLink's acquisition of One Communications on April 1, 2011; (2) EarthLink's acquisition of ITC^DeltaCom on December 8, 2010; (3) the issuance of $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of notes offered by the offering memorandum; (4) the use of approximately $255.8 million of the net proceeds of this offering to redeem our 3.25% convertible senior notes; and (5) application of the assumptions, reclassifications and adjustments described in the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of March 31, 2011 is presented as if the acquisition of One Communications, the issuance of notes and the use of approximately $255.8 million of the net proceeds of this offering to redeem EarthLink's 3.25% convertible senior notes had occurred on March 31, 2011. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 are presented as if the acquisition of One Communications, the issuance of notes and the use of approximately $255.8 million of the net proceeds of this offering to redeem our 3.25% convertible senior notes had occurred on January 1, 2010. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 are also presented as if the acquisition of ITC^DeltaCom had occurred on January 1, 2010.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements should be read in conjunction with the historical consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes of EarthLink, One Communications and ITC^DeltaCom included elsewhere in this offering memorandum.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been presented for informational purposes only. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are not intended to represent or be indicative of what the combined company's results of operations or financial position that would have reported had the acquisition been completed as of the dates presented, and should not be taken as a representation of the combined company's future consolidated results of operations or financial position. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements do not reflect any operating efficiencies and cost savings that may be achieved with respect to the combined companies or the costs necessary to achieve these cost savings and operating efficiencies.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements were prepared using the acquisition method of accounting. As such, identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recognized at fair value as of the acquisition date. Goodwill as of the acquisition date is measured as the excess of consideration transferred and the net amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed.
EarthLink has made significant assumptions and estimates in determining the preliminary estimated purchase price and the preliminary allocation of the estimated purchase price in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements. These preliminary estimates and assumptions are subject to change during the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date) as EarthLink finalizes the valuations of the intangible assets and net tangible assets and resulting goodwill. In particular, the final valuations of identifiable intangible and net tangible assets may change significantly from EarthLink's preliminary estimates. These changes could result in material variances between EarthLink's future financial results and the amounts presented in these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements, including variances in fair values recorded, as well as expenses and cash flows associated with these items.

2. Description of Transactions
One Communications
On April 1, 2011, EarthLink completed its acquisition of One Communications, a privately-held, multi-regional integrated telecommunications solutions provider in the United States. EarthLink acquired 100% of One Communications in a merger transaction with One Communications surviving as an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of EarthLink. One Communications stockholders had the right to elect to receive the net merger consideration in the form of cash or EarthLink common stock.
Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, the aggregate merger consideration for One Communications was $370.0 million, which included repayment of net indebtedness of approximately $282.1 million and $40.6 million of other liabilities and certain working capital and other adjustments as provided in the merger agreement. In addition, $21.0 million was deposited in an escrow account to secure potential post-closing adjustments to the aggregate consideration relating to working capital and other similar adjustments, indemnification obligations and post-closing One Communications employment-related obligations.
The resulting preliminary fair value of consideration transferred was $47.4 million, which consisted of $23.8 million in cash paid to acquire the outstanding common stock of One Communications and $23.6 million for the issuance of 3.0 million shares of EarthLink common stock. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed of One Communications will be recognized at their acquisition date fair values. The allocation of the consideration transferred to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed of One Communications (and the related estimated lives of depreciable tangible and identifiable intangible assets) will require a significant amount of judgment.
The following is a preliminary allocation of the consideration transferred based on currently available information. Such final identification of all the intangible assets acquired and the purchase price allocation may be significantly different than that reflected below (dollars in thousands).
| | | | | |
Acquired Assets: | | | | |
Cash and cash equivalents | | $ | 11,158 | |
Property and equipment | | | 150,805 | |
Goodwill | | | 156,573 | |
Intangible assets | | | 149,500 | |
Other assets | | | 86,537 | |

| | | |
| Total liabilities | | | (507,146 | ) |
| | | |
| Total consideration | | $ | 47,427 | |
| | | |
The following table summarizes the preliminary components of intangible assets acquired in connection with the One Communications acquisition (in thousands):
| | | | | | |
| | Fair Value | | Useful Life |

EarthLink has evaluated and continues to evaluate pre-acquisition contingencies relating to One Communications that existed as of the acquisition date. EarthLink continues to gather information for and evaluate substantially all pre-acquisition contingencies that it has assumed from One Communications. If EarthLink makes changes to the amounts recorded or identifies additional pre-acquisition contingencies during the remainder of the measurement period, such amounts recorded will be included in the purchase price allocation during the measurement period and, subsequently, in EarthLink's results of operations.
ITC^DeltaCom
On December 8, 2010, EarthLink acquired ITC^DeltaCom, a provider of integrated communications services to customers in the southeastern U.S., at a price of $3.00 per share. EarthLink acquired 100% of ITC^DeltaCom in a merger transaction with ITC^DeltaCom surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of EarthLink.
The fair value of consideration transferred was $253.8 million, which consisted of $251.4 million in cash paid to acquire the outstanding common stock of ITC^DeltaCom and $2.3 million for the fair value of restricted stock units assumed and converted. In allocating the consideration transferred based on estimated fair values, EarthLink recorded $170.1 million of goodwill, $131.2 million of identifiable intangible assets, $200.5 million of property and equipment, $351.2 million of long-term debt and $103.2 million of other net assets. EarthLink allocated the consideration transferred to the tangible assets, liabilities and intangible assets acquired based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the consideration transferred over those fair values was recorded as goodwill.
3. Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to conform One Communications' historical amounts to EarthLink's presentation. These reclassifications consisted of the following:
- •
- One Communications due from related parties of $0.3 million as of March 31, 2011 was reclassified as other current assets.
- •
- One Communications long-term deferred revenue of $10.4 million as of March 31, 2011 was reclassified as other long-term liabilities.
- •
- One Communications (gain) loss on disposition of property and equipment of $17,000 and ($639,000) during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and the year ended December 31, 2010, respectively, was reclassified as selling, general and administrative expenses.
- •
- One Communications other operating income of $25,000 and $333,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and the year ended December 31, 2010, respectively, was reclassified as selling, general and administrative expenses.
- •
- One Communications interest expense and interest income totaling $11.7 million and $54.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and the year ended December 31, 2010, respectively, were reclassified as interest expense and other, net.
