NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. GENERAL

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited 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 consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements.

infoGROUP Inc. (the “Company”) suggests that this financial data be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2007 included in the Company’s 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Results for the interim period presented are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the entire year.

2. EARNINGS PER SHARE INFORMATION

The following table shows the amounts used in computing earnings per share (EPS) and the effect on the weighted average number of shares of dilutive common stock.

Weighted average number of shares outstanding used in diluted EPS		56,799		55,889		56,636		55,813

3. SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company reports results in three segments: the Data Group, the Services Group and the Marketing Research Group. The Company reports administrative functions in Corporate Activities.

The Data Group consists ofinfoUSA National Accounts, OneSource, Database License, and the Small and Medium Sized Business Group. The Data Group also includes the compilation and verification costs of our proprietary databases, and corporate technology.

The Services Group consists of subsidiaries providing customer data management, list brokerage and list management services, e-mail marketing services, and catalog marketing services.

The Marketing Research Group was established in 2006 with the Company’s acquisition of Opinion Research Corporation. The Marketing Research Group provides customer surveys, opinion polling, and other market research services for businesses through its Opinion Research division and for governments through its Macro International division. The Marketing Research Group also includes the results from Guideline, Inc., NWC Research, and Northwest Research Group, all of which are research companies acquired by the Company during 2007.

The Data Group, Services Group and Marketing Research Group reflect actual net sales, order production costs, identifiable direct sales and marketing costs, and depreciation and amortization expense. The remaining indirect costs are presented in Corporate Activities.

Corporate Activities includes administrative functions of the Company and other income (expense), including interest expense, investment income and other identified gains (losses).

Goodwill for the Data Group remained relatively flat, with an increase from $256.5 million at December 31, 2007 to $256.6 million at June 30, 2008. The increase in goodwill for the Data Group was the result of paying a $0.2 million working capital adjustment for the SECO Financial acquisition in January 2008. Goodwill for the Services Group increased to $70.5 million at June 30, 2008 from $63.5 million at December 31, 2007. The increase in goodwill for the Services Group is due to the addition of the acquisition of Direct Media, Inc. in January 2008. Goodwill for the Marketing Research Group decreased to $93.9 million at June 30, 2008 from $95.0 million at December 31, 2007. The decrease in goodwill for the Marketing Research Group is due to subsequent purchase entry adjustments for the Guideline, Inc. and Opinion Research Corporation acquisitions.

The following table summarizes segment information, which excludes total assets since we do not prepare separate balance sheets by segment and, as a result, assets are not separately identifiable by segment:

6. SHARE—BASED PAYMENT ARRANGEMENTS

Stock options have been issued under the 1997 Stock Option Plan. The shareholders of the Company also approved the 2007 Omnibus Incentive Plan in June 2007. The Company has issued 50,000 options under the 2007 Omnibus Incentive Plan as of 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), will vest over a four-year period at 25% per year, and expire in June 2018, ten years from the grant date. Historically, option grants have included those that vest over an eight-year period, expire ten years from date of grant and are granted at 125% of the stock’s fair

market value on the date of grant. The Company has also granted options that have exercise prices at the stock’s fair market value on the date of grant, vest over a four-year period at 25% per year, and expire five years from the date of grant.

Compensation expense is recognized only for those options expected to vest, with forfeitures estimated based on our historical experience and future expectations. Prior to the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123(R),Share-Based Payment(“SFAS 123R”), the effect of forfeitures on the pro forma expense amounts was recognized as the forfeitures occurred.

As a result of adopting SFAS 123R, the impact to the quarter ended June 30, 2008 on income before income taxes and net income was $0.1 million, and there was no impact on basic and diluted earnings per share for the same period. The impact to the six months ended June 30, 2008 on income before taxes and net income was $0.3 million, and $0.2 million, respectively, and there was no impact on basic and diluted earnings per share for the same period.

The Company granted 50,000 options during the six-month period ended June 30, 2008, and no options during the six-month period ended June 30, 2007.

The fair value of stock options granted was estimated using a Black-Scholes valuation model with the following assumptions:


	Six-Months Ended June 30,
	2008			2007
Risk-free interest rate		3.22	%		*
Expected dividend yield		6.86	%		*
Expected volatility		40.69	%		*
Expected term (in years)		4.0			*


*		Not applicable as there were no grants for the six-months ended June 30, 2007.

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 volatility was based on historical daily price changes of the Company’s 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.

The following table summarizes stock option plan activity for the six months ended June 30, 2008:


						Weighted Average		Aggregate Intrinsic
	Weighted Average					Remaining		Value at June 30,
	Number of Options			Weighted Average		Contractual Term		2008
	Shares			Exercise Price		(Year)		(In thousands)

Outstanding beginning of period		683,818		$	11.37
Granted		50,000			6.00

Outstanding end of period		678,230			11.46		5.85	$	—

Options exercisable at end of period		267,229			10.85		3.99	$	—

The total intrinsic value of share options exercised during the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 was $29 thousand and $104 thousand, respectively. As of June 30, 2008, the total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested stock option awards was approximately $0.9 million, which is expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted average period of 1.62 years. As of June 30, 2008, 4.4 million shares were available for additional option grants.

10. CONTINGENCIES

In February 2006, Cardinal Value Equity Partners, L.P., which reported beneficial ownership of 5.7% of our stock, filed a 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. The lawsuit was filed as a derivative action on behalf of the Company and as a class action on behalf of Cardinal Value Equity Partners, L.P. and other stockholders. The lawsuit asserted claims for breach of fiduciary duty and sought an order requiring the Company to reinstate a special committee of directors that had been formed in June 2005 to consider a proposal by Vinod Gupta, the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer, to acquire the shares of the Company not owned by him. The special committee was dissolved in August 2005 after Mr. Gupta withdrew that proposal. The lawsuit also sought an order awarding the Company and the class unspecified damages. In May 2006, Cardinal amended its complaint to add several new allegations and named two additional directors of the Company as defendants. The Company and the individual defendants filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit. On October 17, 2006, the Court granted that motion and dismissed the lawsuit without prejudice. The Court’s order permitted Cardinal to file an amended complaint within 60 days of the order. Cardinal subsequently filed a Third Amended Complaint, alleging derivative claims of breach of fiduciary duty and violations of Delaware law. In January 2007, the Court granted the defendants’ motion to consolidate the action with a similar action filed by Dolphin Limited Partnership I, L.P. et al. as discussed in the following paragraph (as consolidated, the “Derivative Litigation”).

In October 2006, Dolphin Limited Partnership I, L.P., Dolphin Financial Partners, L.L.C. and Robert Bartow filed a lawsuit in the Court against certain current and former directors of the Company, and the Company as a nominal defendant. The lawsuit was filed as a derivative action on behalf of the Company. The lawsuit asserts claims for breach of fiduciary duty and misuse of corporate assets, and seeks an order rescinding or declaring void certain transactions between the Company and Vinod Gupta, requiring the defendants to reimburse the Company for alleged damages and expenses relating to such transactions, and directing the Company to amend its Stockholder Rights Plan to include Mr. Gupta, his family and affiliates. The lawsuit also seeks an order awarding the Company unspecified damages. In January 2007, the Court ordered the case consolidated with a related lawsuit (described above) filed by Cardinal Value Equity Partners, L.P. Pursuant to the consolidation order entered by the court, Dolphin and Cardinal filed a consolidated complaint that essentially combines the claims that had been set forth in their respective individual complaints. Defendants moved to dismiss that complaint, and the motion was granted in part and denied in part on August 13, 2007 (the Court revised its opinion on August 20, 2007). See below for information with respect to the formation of a Special Litigation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Special Litigation Committee”), which was established to review, among other things, the allegations included in the Derivative Litigation, and for the status of the Derivative Litigation.

In November 2007, the Company received a request from the Denver Regional Office of the SEC asking the Company to produce voluntarily certain documents as part of an informal SEC investigation. The requested documents relate to the allegations made in the Derivative Litigation and related party transactions, expense reimbursement, other corporate expenditures, and certain trading in the Company’s securities. The Company has cooperated fully, and intends to continue to cooperate fully, with the SEC’s request. Because the investigation is ongoing, the Company cannot predict the outcome of the investigation or its impact on the Company’s business. See below for information with respect to the formation of the Special Litigation Committee, which was established to review, among other things, the matters raised in the SEC’s informal investigation.

the subject of the Derivative Litigation and the SEC’s informal investigation described above, as well as other related matters. Based on its review, the Special Litigation Committee 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 Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.

In March 2008, the Court granted the Special Litigation Committee’s request that the Derivative Litigation be stayed until June 30, 2008; this stay was subsequently extended by agreement of the parties until August 15, 2008. The Special Litigation Committee 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, Mr. Gupta, Cardinal, Dolphin, and Robert Bartow. On August 20, 2008, the Company’s Board of Directors entered into a settlement agreement with Mr. Gupta and the other parties to the Derivative Litigation. In connection with this settlement agreement, Mr. Gupta has resigned as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer effective August 20, 2008, and has entered into a severance agreement with the Company. Mr. Gupta remains, however, a member of the Company’s Board of Directors. A number of remedial measures are being developed in conjunction with the settlement agreement and, as such, remain to be finalized. Other remedial measures have already been adopted by the Special Litigation Committee, and implementation as to some of them has already begun.

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.

11. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Company has retained the law firm of Robins, Kaplan, Miller & Ciresi L.L.P. to provide certain legal services. Elliot Kaplan, a director of the Company, is a named partner and former Chairman of the Executive Board of Robins, Kaplan, Miller & Ciresi L.L.P. The Company paid a total of $99 thousand and $225 thousand to this law firm during the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

During the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company paid a total of $24 thousand for rent and $6 thousand for association dues for use of this condominium. Jess Gupta is the son of Vinod Gupta, the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer.

During 2008 and 2007, Everest Inc. (f/k/a Vinod Gupta & Company, f/k/a Annapurna Corporation) and Everest Investment Management LLC rented office space in a building owned by the Company. Everest Inc. and Everest Investment Management LLC are owned by Mr. Gupta and his three sons. The reimbursements received by the Company from Everest Inc. and Everest Investment Management LLC totaled $5 thousand during the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007. During the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, the reimbursements totaled $10 thousand.

12. DEBT

At June 30, 2008, the term loan of the Senior Secured Credit Facility entered into on February 14, 2006 (as amended, the “2006 Credit Facility”) had a balance of $171.4 million, bearing an average interest rate of 4.81%. The revolving line of credit had a balance of $102.0 million, bearing an interest rate of 4.84%, and $73.0 million was available under the revolving line of credit. Substantially all of the assets of the Company are pledged as security under the terms of the 2006 Credit Facility.

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 Credit Agreement 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 (as amended by the Third Amendment and the Fourth Amendment, the “Amended 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 this Form 10-Q to August 29, 2008. As a result of the amendments, the Company was in compliance with all restrictive covenants of the 2006 Credit Facility as of June 30, 2008. The Company filed the 2007 Form 10-K and the First Quarter 2008 Form 10-Q with the SEC on August 8, 2008.

13. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On July 16, 2008, the Special Litigation Committee concluded its internal investigation into the matters surrounding the Derivative Litigation and the SEC’s informal investigation, as well as other related matters. Through June 30, 2008 the Company incurred $12.7 million in expenses related to the Derivative Litigation and the Special Litigation Committee’s investigation. In July 2008, the Company incurred an additional $3.5 million in expenses related to this investigation. In total we have incurred $16.2 million in expenses related to this investigation, of which $3.0 million were incurred in 2007 and $13.2 million were incurred during the seven months ended July 31, 2008. See Note 10 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of the Special Litigation Committee’s investigation.

On August 20, 2008, Mr. Gupta resigned as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, and entered into a severance agreement with the Company. The severance agreement includes, among other things, non-competition and confidentiality provisions as well as provisions requiring the Company to pay to Mr. Gupta an aggregate of $10 million as follows: $5 million within 60 days of the execution of the severance agreement and $5 million one business day following the Company’s 2009 annual meeting of shareholders, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the severance agreement.

General

Overview

On June 1, 2008, we changed our Company name frominfoUSA Inc. toinfoGROUP Inc. (the “Company” or “infoGROUP” or “we”). We are a Delaware corporation incorporated in 1972.

We report results in three segments: the Data Group, the Services Group, and the Marketing Research Group.

Our initiatives in the first six months of 2008 included:

	•		Announcing the acquisition of Direct Media, Inc. which closed effective January 1, 2008. Direct Media, Inc., which became part of the Services Group, is a provider of list brokerage, list management, analytics, database marketing and data processing services.

	•		Expanding our international business and executive databases by adding content for China and Australia.

	•		Expanding the presence of Yesmail, our e-mail technology company, and making advancements in technology and product development processes.

	•		Continuing to invest in merchandising, advertising and branding. The advertising campaigns include e-mail, print, television, radio, direct mail, and search word advertising, as well as the use of white glove client services. Most notable advertisements included commercials that aired during the Super Bowl, on February 3, 2008, featuring Salesgenie.com.

	•		Continuing to compileinfoUK.com’s UK Business Database, which will provide contact names and addresses of businesses in the United Kingdom. We plan to sell information in 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.

On August 20, 2008, Mr. Gupta resigned as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, and entered into a severance agreement with the Company. Mr. Gupta remains, however, a member of the Company’s Board of Directors.

Sales & Marketing Strategy

We employ several media options to grow and increase our market share including direct mail, print, outbound telemarketing, online keyword search engines, banner advertising, and television, radio and e-mail marketing. In the first six months of 2008, we continued these traditional forms of advertising as well as national and local radio and television campaigns to further build our brand name and drive revenue for our flagship online subscription product,Salesgenie.com.We continue to advertise aggressively to promote our valuable brand, including television advertisements in the first six months of 2008 that aired during the Super Bowl, and other high profile sporting and news coverage events.

To monitor the success of our various marketing efforts, we have incorporated data gathering and tracking systems. These systems enable us to determine the type of advertising that best appeals to our target market so that we can make future investment in these programs and obtain a greater yield from our marketing. Additionally, through the use of our database tools, we are working to more efficiently determine the needs of our various client segments and tailor our services to their individual needs. With this system, we plan to strengthen relationships and support marketing campaigns to attract new clients.

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 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 people.

We also intend to continue to grow through strategic acquisitions. We have grown through more than 36 strategic acquisitions in the last ten years. These acquisitions have enabled us to acquire the requisite critical mass to compete over the long term in the databases, direct marketing, e-mail marketing and market research industries. During 2007, we acquired Guideline, Inc., NWC Research and Northwest Research Group, which complement our existing market research services, and expresscopy.com, a provider of printing and mailing services that specializes in short-run customized direct mail pieces, allowing us to expand our existing data services. In 2007, we also acquired SECO Financial, a specialist in database marketing to the financial services industry. In 2008, we acquired Direct Media, Inc. which provides list brokerage, list management, analytics, database marketing and data processing services.

We also are focusing on international growth opportunities. We are now upgrading our international business databases and expanding our own compilation efforts. In late 2005, we opened a database center in India. We have also partnered with content providers worldwide. Our comprehensive international database includes information on approximately 1.1 million large public and private non-U.S. companies in approximately 200 countries. There are over 10.4 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 turnover, 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 structure. Additionally, we believe that the acquisition of Australia-based NWC Research in July 2007, will help us grow in the Asia-Pacific region.

As we continue to enhance our international databases, we are aggressively pursuing high growth, emerging markets in the Asia-Pacific region, Western Europe, Australia, and South America. Using London as our international headquarters, we have sales offices in Hong Kong, New Delhi, Sydney and Singapore.

In 2008, we began to compile a business database in the United Kingdom. This database, created from a variety of publicly available sources, currently contains information on approximately 2.6 million UK businesses, with growth expected to an eventual total of 3.1 million. We are also conducting telephone surveys of 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), 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.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

The 2006 Credit Facility provides for grid-based interest pricing based upon our consolidated total leverage ratio. Interest rates for use of the revolving line of credit range from base rate 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 credit agreement, we may designate borrowings under the 2006 Credit Facility as base rate loans or Eurodollar loans.

We are subject to certain financial covenants in the 2006 Credit Facility, including 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 EBITDA (“earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization”), as adjusted, providing for adjustments to EBITDA for certain agreed upon items including non-operating gains (losses), other charges (gains), asset impairments, non-cash stock compensation expense and other items specified in the 2006 Credit Facility.

In light of the Special Litigation Committee’s investigation described in Note 10 in the Notes to 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 its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 (the “First Quarter 2008 Form 10-Q) by the SEC’s 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 Credit Agreement 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 (as amended by the Third Amendment and the Fourth Amendment, the “Amended 2006 Credit Facility”), which extended the deadlines by which the Company must file with the SEC the 2007 Form 10-K and the First Quarter 2008 Form 10-Q to August 15, 2008, and this Form 10-Q to August 29, 2008. As a result of the amendments, the Company was in compliance with all restrictive covenants of the 2006 Credit Facility as of June 30, 2008. The Company filed the 2007 Form 10-K and the First Quarter 2008 Form 10-Q with the SEC on August 8, 2008.

The Amended 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 1.0, 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 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 1.0.

As of June 30, 2008 the Company has incurred $12.7 million in expenses related to the Special Litigation Committee’s investigation related to the Derivative Litigation and the SEC’s informal investigation.

As of June 30, 2008, we had a working capital deficit of $15.3 million, which included $67.2 million of deferred revenue. We believe that our existing sources of liquidity and cash generated from operations will satisfy our projected working capital, debt repayments and other cash requirements for at least the next 12 months. 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.

Long-term debt, net of current portion increased to $313.9 million at June 30, 2008 from $278.3 million at December 31, 2007. The increase in long-term debt, net of current portion is primarily due to the increase in the Amended 2006 Credit Facility to fund the acquisition of Direct Media, Inc., and dividend payment to shareholders.

Non-current deferred income tax liabilities decreased to $25.4 million at June 30, 2008 from $31.0 million at December 31, 2007 due to the change in timing of deferred income tax components. The main components of this change include a decrease in the deferred tax liabilities due to the acquisition of Direct Media, Inc. and an increase in the deferred tax assets due to the change in the bonus accrual between the two periods.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Other than rents associated with facility leasing arrangements, the Company does not engage in off-balance sheet financing activities. The Company’s operating lease commitments are included in the contractual obligations table set forth in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 under Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

Accounting Standards

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 157,Fair Value Measurements(“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires enhanced disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 requires companies to disclose the fair value of their financial instruments according to a fair value hierarchy as defined in the standard. Additionally, companies are required to provide enhanced disclosure regarding financial instruments in one of the categories (level 3), including a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances separately for each major category of assets and liabilities. SFAS 157 was effective for the Company on January 1, 2008. However, in February 2008, the FASB released FASB Staff Position (FSP FAS 157-2 — Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157), which delayed the effective date of SFAS 157 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). The adoption of SFAS 157 for our financial assets and liabilities did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. We do not believe the adoption of SFAS 157 for our non-financial assets and liabilities, effective January 1, 2009, will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159,The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities — Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115(“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 permits entities to elect to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected will be recognized in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. SFAS 159 was effective for the Company on January 1, 2008. The adoption of SFAS 159 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R,Business Combinations(“SFAS 141R”), a revision to SFAS No. 141,Business Combinations. SFAS 141R provides revised guidance for recognition and measurement of identifiable assets and goodwill acquired, liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at fair value. SFAS 141R also establishes disclosure requirements to enable the evaluation of the nature and financial effects of a business combination. SFAS 141R is required to be applied prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008 (January 1, 2009 for the Company). The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of the adoption of SFAS 141R on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160,Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — an amendment of ARB No. 51(“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent. Specifically, SFAS 160 requires the presentation of noncontrolling interests as equity in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, and separate identification and presentation in the Consolidated Statement of Operations of net income attributable to the entity and the noncontrolling interest. It also establishes accounting and reporting standards regarding deconsolidation and changes in a parent’s ownership interest. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008 (January 1, 2009 for the Company). The provisions of SFAS 160 are generally required to be applied prospectively, except for the presentation and disclosure requirements, which must be applied retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, of the adoption of SFAS 160 on its consolidated financial statements.

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. We are exposed to significant future earnings and cash flow exposures from significant changes in interest rates as nearly all of our debt is at variable rates. 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 $2.73 million. At June 30, 2008, 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 rates currently offered to us for similar debt instruments of comparable maturities. At June 30, 2008, we had long-term debt with a carrying value of $316.9 million and estimated fair value of approximately the same amount. We have no significant operations subject to risks of foreign currency fluctuations.


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 SEC’s rules and forms.

In connection with the preparation of this Form 10-Q, management performed an evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. The evaluation was performed, under the supervision of and with the participation of the former Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) as of June 30, 2008. In addition, as described under Item 9A, “Controls and Procedures” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, management identified material weaknesses in

the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, which is an integral component of its disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2008. As noted in Part II Item 1, “Legal Proceedings,” Mr. Gupta has resigned as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer effective August 20, 2008, and has entered into a severance agreement with the Company. Mr. Gupta remains, however, a member of the Company’s Board of Directors. Mr. Fairfield, who has been appointed as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer as of August 20, 2008, concurs with the conclusions set forth above in this Item 4(a).

Based upon the management’s conclusion that there were material weaknesses in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, the Company has taken measures it deemed necessary to conclude its consolidated financial statements as of and for the period ended June 30, 2008 do not contain a material misstatement.

(b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting

There were not any changes during the second quarter of 2008 in our 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. However, subsequent to June 30, 2008 and as described under Item 9A “Controls and Procedures” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company, with oversight from the Special Litigation Committee, the Audit Committee and the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors, has dedicated significant resources, including the use of outside legal counsel, to support the Company’s efforts to improve the control environment and to remedy the material weaknesses as described under Item 9A “Controls and Procedures” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.

PART II

OTHER INFORMATION


ITEM 1.		LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In December 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors formed the Special Litigation Committee in response to the consolidated complaint filed in the Derivative Litigation and in response to the SEC’s informal investigation of the Company and the related SEC request for voluntary production of documents. The Special Litigation Committee consists of five independent Board members: Robin S. Chandra (Chair), Clifton T. Weatherford, George H. Krauss, Bill L. Fairfield and Bernard W. Reznicek. The Special Litigation Committee, which retained the law firm of Covington & Burling LLP, has conducted an investigation of the matters that are the subject of the Derivative Litigation and the SEC’s informal investigation described above, as well as other related matters. Based on its review, the Special Litigation Committee 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 Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.

We are subject to legal claims and assertions in the ordinary course of business. Although the outcomes of any other lawsuits and claims are uncertain, we do not believe that, individually or in the aggregate, any such lawsuits or claims will have a material effect on our business, financial conditions, results of operations or liquidity.
