(With Independent Auditors’ Report Thereon)

Independent Auditors’ Report

The Board of Directors
ProQuest Company:

We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheet of ProQuest Business Solutions, Inc., and related entities as of December 31, 2005, and the related combined statements of operations, shareholder’s equity and comprehensive income, and cash flows for the year then ended. These combined financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these combined financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the combined financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of ProQuest Business Solutions, Inc. and related entities as of December 31, 2005 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

(1) Significant Accounting Policies

(a) Organization and Basis of Presentation

The Company is comprised of a number of legal entities and divisions in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, France, Spain, Germany, Italy, and Japan including the following:

ProQuest Business Solutions, Inc. and its subsidiaries:
    ProQuest Outdoor Solutions, Inc.
    ProQuest Japan Company
    Syncata Corporation

ProQuest Alison, Inc.

ProQuest UK Holdings Ltd. and its subsidiary (only certain assets and liabilities of

(In thousands)

The combined balance sheet, statement of operations, statement of shareholder’s equity and comprehensive income, and statement of cash flows as of December 31, 2005 and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 have been prepared to present the combined financial position of the Company, its subsidiaries and related entities as if the Company had existed as a stand-alone entity as of December 31, 2004. As such, these financial statements may not necessarily reflect what the results of operations, financial position and cash flows would have been, had the Company operated as a separate independent company, nor are they an indicator of future performance. The combined financial statements include the accounts of the combined entities as listed above, and, in the opinion of management, contain all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the combined financial position and results of operations.

The combined entities have certain services and functions provided to them by the Parent, and the Company’s operations have been financed through its operating cash flows. These services are referred to as allocated costs, and include legal, tax, and other functional support services.

(b) Nature of Operations

The Company is primarily engaged in the delivery, in electronic form, of comprehensive parts and service information for the automotive and outdoor power market (motorcycle, marine, recreational vehicle, lawn and garden, and heavy equipment) and business performance products and services for the automotive market.

ProQuest Business Solutions, Ltd. and its subsidiaries provide business performance products and services to the European Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and their dealership networks. These products and services encompass business management and planning services and other dealer network management products and services that assist the OEM in managing dealer contracts and track compliance with the European Common Markets’ block exemption regulations. Revenues from ProQuest Business Solutions, Ltd. and its subsidiaries accounted for 17% of the Company’s revenue in 2005. ProQuest Alison, Inc. performs similar operations in North America for OEMs and their dealership networks.

(c) Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Subsequent actual results may differ from those estimates.

(d) Fiscal Year

Our fiscal year ends on the Saturday nearest to December 31. References to fiscal 2005 are for the 52 weeks ended December 31, 2005.

(e) Principles of Combination

The combined financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its majority owned subsidiaries and related entities, as described in the Organization and Basis of Presentation section of Note 1(a). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in combination.

(f) Investments

Investments are accounted for using the equity method of accounting if the investment provides us the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over an investee. Significant influence is generally deemed to exist if the Company has an ownership interest in the voting stock of the investee between 20% and 50%, although other factors, such as representation on the investee’s Board of Directors are considered in whether the equity method of accounting is appropriate. We record our investments in equity method investees as “Investment in affiliate” in our Combined Balance Sheet. Income of investments accounted for using the equity method are reported as “Equity in earnings of affiliate” in our Combined Statement of Operations.

(g) Revenue Recognition

We derive revenue from licensing database content, services, and computer hardware equipment. Services consist of training and installation with respect to our Automotive Parts and Service Products (APSP) and performance measurement products. Revenue from these training and installation services accounted for less than 10% of our revenue in 2005.

Parts and Service Products

A majority of the APSP revenue is related to multiple element contracts in which the Company provides hardware, training and installation, database content licenses, and ongoing support to our customers. The Company follows the guidance under Emerging Issues Task Force 00-21,Revenue Arrangements with MultipleDeliverables (EITF 00-21), in allocating the contract revenue to the various elements. EITF 00-21 addresses how to determine whether an arrangement involving multiple deliverables contains more than one unit of accounting. EITF 00-21 prescribes that in circumstances where there are multiple units of accounting in a contract, revenue should be allocated to each unit based on fair value, irrespective of the amount ascribed in the contract. Determination of fair value is judgmental and is typically based on our pricing of similar products that are not part of a multi-element arrangement and/or pricing of a market competitor. The Company applies guidance from Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101,Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements (SAB No 101), and SAB No. 104,Revenue Recognition (SAB No. 104), for determination of revenue recognition. Assuming fair value exists for all elements, the amount assigned to the hardware value is recognized upon shipment of the hardware to the customer. The amounts assigned to training and installation are recognized as the services are performed. The amounts assigned to the database licenses and the ongoing support are recognized over the term of the contract, typically 24 to 60 months. Costs associated with these contracts, primarily commissions, are deferred and recognized over the term of the contracts.

We provide certain APSP customers with the option to bundle into monthly payments hardware or training and installation. An interest factor of approximately 8% is charged for the bundled items and recorded as deferred interest income. Deferred interest income was $1,556 at December 31, 2005. This amount will be recognized as interest income over the collection period. The receivable related to these items and the related deferred interest income are recorded in “Long–term receivables” in our combined financial statements. Interest income recognized related to these arrangements in 2005 was $1,351.

We also provide Parts and Service Products for the power equipment markets. Certain of these products are customized for the individual customer. As such, the Company follows the guidance under EITF 00-21. The Company applies guidance from SAB No. 101, SAB No. 104 and Statement of Position 97-2,Software RevenueRecognition (SOP 97-2), for determination of revenue recognition. Software revenue is recognized when evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed and collectibility is probable. Initial license and project management fees are recognized over the implementation and delivery of the product. An annual license fee is charged and is recognized ratably over the year or period it pertains to. Ongoing services revenue is recognized over the term of the contract.

Performance Measurement Products and Services

Revenue from performance measurement products is primarily derived from business management information systems and business products provided to both Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and their dealerships in the automotive industry. Dealer information is collected and published, typically on a monthly or quarterly basis. This content is used to monitor and evaluate dealer performance against various metrics and to manage dealer contracts and track compliance with the European Common Market’s block exemption regulations. Revenue is recognized when the dealer information collecting and publishing cycle is completed and delivered.

(h) Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

We estimate a reserve, as required, for outstanding accounts and long- term receivables.

Allowances for doubtful accounts are reviewed on a quarterly basis and any required adjustments to reserve levels are made. The allowance for doubtful accounts at December 31, 2005 was $379.

(i) Foreign Currency Translation

The financial position and results of operations of each of our foreign subsidiaries are measured using the local currency as the functional currency. Revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates prevailing during the respective fiscal periods. Assets and liabilities are translated into United States (U.S.) dollars using the exchange rates at the end of the respective fiscal periods. Balance sheet translation adjustments arising from differences in exchange rates from period to period are included in the determination of our other comprehensive income which is reflected as a component of shareholders’ equity.

(j) Cash and Cash Equivalents

We consider all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less (when purchased) to be cash equivalents. The carrying amount reported in the Combined Balance Sheet approximates fair value.

(k) Inventory

Inventory costs include material, labor and overhead. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method) or market.

(l) Property, Plant, and Equipment

Property, plant, and equipment are recorded at cost. The straight-line method of depreciation is primarily used. Estimated lives range from 10 to 40 years for buildings and building improvements and 3 to 15 years for machinery and equipment.

(m) Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

We comply with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141Business Combinations (SFAS No. 141) and SFAS No. 142,Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS No. 142). Under SFAS No. 141, intangible assets are recognized as assets apart from goodwill when they arise from contractual or other legal rights (regardless of whether those rights are transferable or separable from the acquired entity or from other rights and obligations) or if they are separable (capable of being separated or divided from the acquired entity regardless of whether there is an intent to do so). SFAS No. 142 requires that goodwill no longer be amortized to earnings, but instead be reviewed for impairment on an annual basis using a two-step goodwill impairment test. We perform this annual analysis during the second fiscal quarter based on the goodwill balance as of the end of the first fiscal quarter. The first step of the impairment test requires us to define our reporting units and then compare the fair value of each of these reporting units to its carrying value. If the carrying value is higher than the fair value, there is an indication that impairment may exist; if the carrying value is less than the fair value, no impairment exists, and the second step does not need to be completed.

Intangible assets determined to have definite useful lives are amortized over their useful lives, generally 3 to 5 years. We review our intangibles with definite lives for impairment to ensure they are appropriately valued if conditions exist that may indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable.

(n) Software Capitalization.

We follow the guidance in SOP 98-1,Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained forInternal Use (SOP 98-1), for capitalizing software projects. We consider the following two characteristics when evaluating software for internal use:

• The software is internally developed, acquired, or modified solely to meet our internal needs.

10 (Continued)

PROQUEST BUSINESS SOLUTIONS, INC.
AND RELATED ENTITIES

Notes to Combined Financial Statements
December 31, 2005
(In thousands)

• During the software’s development or modification, no substantive plan exists or is being developed to market the software externally.

In accordance with SOP 98-1, there are three stages identified for development of software:

• preliminary project stage

• application development stage

• post implementation / operating stage

We capitalize computer software costs incurred during the application development stage. All other costs incurred in connection with internal use software are expensed as incurred.

We follow SFAS No. 86,Accounting for Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed (SFAS No. 86), for software projects related to external use.

According to SFAS No. 86, there are two types of costs related to a software development project:

• Research and development costs which are incurred internally in creating a computer software product prior to establishing technological feasibility, and

• Software production costs incurred after technological feasibility has been established.

The first type of costs is expensed as incurred while the second type of costs is capitalized and amortized over the estimated economic life of the product. All of our software development projects are amortized on a straight-line basis primarily over three to five years. Software that is purchased with a license is amortized over the life of the related license.

(o) Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

We review the carrying value of property, plant and equipment and certain identifiable intangibles for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the net book value of an asset may not be recoverable from the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value as estimated by discounted cash flows. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less cost of disposal.

(p) Monetized Future Billings

With regard to our APSP agreements, we have monetized a portion of the future cash stream to be generated by these customer contracts. At the time of monetization, we received an amount equal to the discounted value of future billings that will be received from the customer. The amount received at the time of monetization is recorded as “Monetized future billings” in our Combined Balance Sheet. The monthly payments received from our customers are retained by the third party with whom we have monetized these contracts and a portion of the discount is recognized as interest expense. Our obligation related to certain portions of these monetized amounts will be satisfied within the next twelve months; these amounts have been classified as the “Current portion of monetized future billings”. In connection with these transactions, we retain a maximum credit risk of $1,300.

(q) Income Taxes

We account for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to be in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

(r) Foreign Exchange Risks

A portion of revenue, earnings, and net investment in foreign affiliates is exposed to changes in foreign exchange rates. Substantially all foreign exchange risks are managed through operational means.

(2) Income Taxes

Earnings before income taxes in fiscal 2005 were attributable to the following locations:

	2005
United States	$	26,736
Foreign		12,064
	$	38,800

Income tax expense attributable to income before income taxes in fiscal 2005 included the following:

The differences between our effective tax rate for income taxes and the domestic federal statutory income tax rate in fiscal 2005 was as follows:

	2005
Statutory federal income tax rate		35.00	%
Increase (reduction) in taxes resulting from:
State income taxes, net of federal benefit		3.95

Benefit from research incentives		(1.21	)
Benefit from export tax incentives		(0.53	)
Other		0.69
Effective income tax rate		36.88	%

Deferred income taxes are primarily provided for temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of our assets and liabilities. The tax effects of each type of temporary difference and carryforward that gives rise to a significant portion of deferred tax assets (liabilities) at December 31, 2005 were as follows:

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, we consider whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible or creditable. We consider the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. As of December 31, 2005, we believe it is more likely than not that we will realize the benefits of these deductible and creditable differences, net of the existing valuation allowances. However, the amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable could be reduced in the near term if estimates of future taxable income during the carryforward period are reduced.

U.S. income and foreign withholding taxes have not been recognized on the excess of the amount for financial reporting over the tax basis of investments in foreign subsidiaries that are essentially permanent in duration. This amount becomes taxable upon a repatriation of assets from the subsidiary or a sale or liquidation of the subsidiary. The amount of such temporary difference totaled $6,700 as of December 31, 2005. Determination of the amount of any unrecognized deferred income tax liability on this temporary difference is not practicable.

The Company has open tax years from primarily 2000 to 2004 with various significant taxing jurisdictions including the U.S., Canada and the United Kingdom. The various PQBS entities in the U.S. participate in the filing of the Parent’s consolidated federal income tax return. The consolidated tax return has been selected for examination in the U.S. for the 2002-2004 tax years. These open years contain matters that could be subject to differing interpretations of applicable tax laws and regulations as they relate to the amount, timing or inclusion of revenue and expense or the sustainability of income tax credits for a given audit cycle.

(3) Cumulative Effect of a Change in Accounting Principle

In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued SAB No. 101. As a result of this pronouncement, we modified our accounting for revenue from APSP agreements beginning in fiscal 2000.

As a result of the changes in the methods of accounting for revenue, approximately $103,573 of revenue recognized in fiscal 1999 and prior years was reversed and included in the cumulative effect adjustment determined as of the beginning of fiscal 2000. Of this amount, $875, was recognized in 2005 and $91 will be recognized in 2006.

(4) Acquisitions

In February 2005, we acquired all the outstanding shares of Syncata Corporation and its subsidiaries (Syncata). Syncata is a professional services organization and has performed over 600 projects for customers, primarily in the automotive market. Professional services are an integral part of providing our customers with solutions involving the implementation and integration of our products.

We paid $8,367 in cash for Syncata and contingent consideration based on certain revenue and earnings accomplishments in 2005. Total contingent consideration earned by Syncata during the year ended December 31, 2005 was $1,657.

In July 2005, we purchased certain assets from Active Web Services LLC (AWS), including the intellectual property of an enterprise warranty application. We paid $3,800 in cash at the time of acquisition and contingent consideration based on certain revenue performance during the subsequent two annual periods following the purchase date. Contingent consideration to be paid to AWS for the first annual period ended in July 2006 was $344. The final payment, if certain revenue performance is achieved, will be made in October, 2007.

The following table summarizes the estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed for each acquisition:

(9) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Our financial instruments include accounts receivable, long-term receivables and accounts payable. We believe that fair value approximates book value for accounts receivable and accounts payable due to their short-term nature. In addition, the book value for monetized future billings approximates fair value because at the time of monetization, we receive an amount equal to the discounted value of future billings that will be received from the customer. The amount received at the time of monetization is recorded as “Monetized future billings” in our Combined Balance Sheet.

The fair value of long-term receivables is discounted using the weighted average effective borrowing rate at the end of the year. At December 31, 2005 long-term receivables were recorded at $6,948, which excludes deferred interest income of $1,556 (see note 1).

Following is a summary of financial instruments where the fair values differ from the recorded amounts as of December 31, 2005:

Total	$	17,649

Total rent expense for fiscal 2005 was $6,309. The fiscal 2005 rent expense has not been reduced by rental income under noncancelable subleases of $192.

(11) Foreign Currency Transactions

Net foreign currency transaction gains for fiscal 2005 of $535 have been included in selling and administrative expense of the respective periods. Foreign currency translation adjustments are reflected in the Combined Statement of Shareholders’ Equity and Comprehensive Income.

(12) Contingent Liabilities

We are involved in various legal proceedings incidental to our business. Management believes the outcome of such proceedings will not have a material adverse effect upon our consolidated operations or financial condition and we believe we have recognized appropriate liabilities as necessary.

We have one guarantee outstanding as of December 31, 2005 related to the APSP contracts we have monetized with a third party. In connection with these transactions, we retain maximum credit risk of approximately $1,300, in cases where our dealership customers cease paying their monthly contract amount. This amount may be reduced if we are able to successfully remarket any hardware that we recover from the dealership. Our allowance for doubtful accounts considers any potential exposure associated with this guarantee.
