SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Business—CBD Media Holdings LLC (“CBD Holdings”) is located in Cincinnati, Ohio and owns 100% of CBD Media LLC (“CBD Media” and, together with CBD Holdings, the “Company”). The Company publishes yellow page directories and sells directory advertising and information services in the Greater Cincinnati area, including Northern Kentucky and Southeast Indiana. These services are available to customers in the form of a traditional printed directory, an internet directory website www.cincinnatibellyellowpages.com and an electronic directory on CD-ROM. CBD Holdings is approximately 95% owned by CBD Investor, Inc., an affiliate of Spectrum Equity Investors, and has no material operations of its own or assets other than the equity interests of CBD Media.

On October 13, 2004, the Company formed a wholly-owned finance subsidiary, CBD Holdings Finance, Inc. (“CBD Holdings Finance”), which is incorporated in the state of Delaware. CBD Holdings Finance co-issued the senior notes, joint and severally, with the Company. Separate financial statements for CBD Holdings Finance are not provided because CBD Holdings Finance does not have independent assets or operations from the Company.

Substantially all of the Company’s operations are outsourced to third-party service providers, and the Company is dependent upon the performance of third parties for the following key components of its operations: sales of advertising, printing of directories, distribution and delivery of directories, and billing and collection. The Company has executed long-term contracts with these third-parties. A change in these suppliers could cause a disruption in the Company’s business due to the time it would take to locate and qualify an alternate supplier for these services.

Basis of Presentation—The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information. The information disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 has not changed materially unless otherwise disclosed herein. Financial information as of December 31, 2004 included in these condensed consolidated financial statements has been derived from audited consolidated financial statements. In management’s opinion, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the interim periods have been made.

Results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for future interim periods or for the full year.

Cash and Cash Equivalents—Cash and cash equivalents represent cash on hand and demand deposits with banks and short-term, highly liquid investments.

Property and Equipment—Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives ranging from three to five years.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets—At inception the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standard No. (“FAS”) 142—“Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” Recorded goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized, but instead are tested for impairment annually in the fourth quarter. Other intangible assets are reviewed for impairment in accordance with FAS 144—“Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” All other intangible assets except for advertiser related assets are amortized using the straight-line amortization method. Advertiser related assets are amortized using an accelerated amortization method that matches the expected benefit derived from the advertisers. The accelerated amortization method used is a method that allocates amortization expense in proportion to each year’s expected revenues to the total expected revenues over the thirty year life of the Company’s advertisers. Based on the Company’s experience, advertiser attrition is more rapid in the earlier years of the life of the Company’s advertisers. A thirty year life was established for the advertiser related assets because the Company’s historical experience shows that some advertisers continue to use the Company’s service for periods of up to thirty years. A summary of intangible assets is as follows:


	Advertiser list			Non-compete covenant			Listing database			Trademark and tradename licenses			Total
Carrying amount March 31, 2004	$	52,000		$	154,000		$	200		$	104,000		$	310,200
Accumulated amortization		(12,796	)		(32,083	)		(42	)		(10,800	)		(55,721	)

Net amount at March 31, 2004	$	39,204		$	121,917		$	158		$	93,200		$	254,479

Carrying amount December 31, 2004	$	52,000		$	154,000		$	200		$	104,000			$310,200
Accumulated amortization		(16,657	)		(43,633	)		(57	)		(14,700	)		(75,047	)

Net amount at December 31, 2004	$	35,343		$	110,367		$	143		$	89,300		$	235,153

Carrying amount March 31, 2005	$	52,000		$	154,000		$	200		$	104,000		$	310,200
Accumulated amortization		(17,783	)		(47,483	)		(62	)		(16,000	)		(81,328	)

Net amount at March 31, 2005	$	34,217		$	106,517		$	138		$	88,000		$	228,872

Amortization of identifiable intangible assets for the next five years as of March 31, 2005 is as follows:


Period ending March 31:
2006	$	24,982
2007		24,438
2008		23,963
2009		23,546
2010		23,182

Deferred Directory Costs—Direct costs incurred related to directories published in June and November of each year are deferred and amortized over the life of the directory, generally twelve months. Primary directory costs include sales commissions paid to sales agents and printing and distribution costs associated with the directory publications.

Debt Issue Costs—The costs related to the issuance of debt are capitalized and amortized to interest expense over the life of the related loans using the effective interest method. In February 2004, the Company refinanced the tranche B term loan of its senior credit facility to adjust its interest rate, maturity date and eliminate the annual principal reduction requirement. In connection with the refinancing the Company capitalized financing fees of approximately $600. In October 2004, the Company issued and sold $100,000 of 9 ¼% senior notes and replaced the existing tranche C term loan with a $153,000 tranche D term loan (see Note 2). Amortization of approximately $504 and $361 has been charged to interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Vendor Incentives—The Company has long-term contracts with certain vendors under which the vendors pay cash incentives to the Company for entering into the contracts. These incentives are recorded as deferred income and amortized as a reduction of cost of sales over the related contract terms. The amount of deferred vendor incentives that are expected to be amortized within one year are recorded as a current liability within other current liabilities. The remaining portion of deferred vendor incentives are recorded within other long-term liabilities. Total deferred vendor incentives were approximately $2,059, $2,218 and $2,593 at March 31, 2005, December 31, 2004 and March 31, 2004, respectively.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments—The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and other accrued expenses approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt, including current maturities, is estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, based on the incremental borrowing rates currently available to the Company for similar debt with similar terms and maturity.

Concentration of Credit Risks—Financial instruments which potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of accounts receivable. Management believes its credit policies are prudent and reflect normal industry terms and business risk. The Company does not anticipate non-performance by its customers and, accordingly, does not require collateral.

Revenue Recognition—Revenue is primarily the result of selling advertising that is subsequently placed in the Cincinnati Bell Yellow Pages. Revenues related to publishing directories are recognized using the “amortization method” under which revenues are recognized over the lives of the directories, generally twelve months. Deferred revenue relates to the sale of advertising to national advertisers which is billed in advance and recognized over the lives of the directories. Net revenue includes primarily estimated sales adjustments for estimated losses due to claims resulting from publication errors, omissions in customer advertising, customer early terminations or other customer complaints. The estimated sales adjustments are determined based on

our historical experience, our current knowledge of customers with disconnected phone service, and customer complaints received.

Income Taxes—No provision for federal taxes is required because the Company has elected to be taxed as a limited liability company; accordingly, each member’s respective share of income is included in its federal return. The Company has provided for certain state and city taxes which are classified within general and administrative expenses, in the amount of approximately $20 and $13 for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Use of Estimates—The preparation of the 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 disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual amounts could differ from those estimates.

LONG-TERM DEBT

Long-term debt at March 31, 2005, December 31, 2004 and March 31, 2004 consisted of the following:


	March 31, 2005		December 31, 2004		March 31, 2004
9 ¼% Senior notes due 2012	$	100,000	$	100,000
8⁵/8% Senior subordinated notes due 2011		150,000		150,000	$	150,000
Term loan facility, payable to a consortium of banks, with interest of 5.09%, 4.548%, and 3.35% at March 31, 2005, December 31, 2004, and March 31, 2004, respectively. Due on December 31, 2009.		153,000		153,000		147,000

Total	$	403,000	$	403,000	$	297,000

The Company has a revolving line of credit as part of the same senior credit facility as the term loan, under which the Company may borrow up to $5,000 at the bank’s prime rate or LIBOR, plus applicable margins. There were no borrowings outstanding on the revolving line of credit at March 31, 2005, December 31, 2004 or March 31, 2004. Substantially all assets of the Company are pledged as collateral under the existing debt agreements.

The fair value of the Company’s debt obligations was approximately $408,750, $413,750 and $310,500 as of March 31, 2005, December 31, 2004 and March 31, 2004, respectively.

In February 2004, the Company refinanced its tranche B term loan with a tranche C term loan to adjust its interest rate to prime plus 1.25% or LIBOR plus 2.25%, maturity data and eliminate the annual principal reduction requirement.

In October 2004, the Company completed a recapitalization in which the Company issued and sold $100,000 of 9 ¼% senior notes due 2012. In connection with the recapitalization, the Company amended the senior credit facility by replacing the existing tranche C term loan with a tranche D term loan to borrow an additional $23,000. As part of the recapitalization in 2004 the Company made distributions of approximately $125,300 to its members.

Under the terms of the loan agreements noted above, certain restrictive covenants exist regarding the Company’s ability to enter into new loan agreements, enter into interest rate hedges, buy or sell assets, enter into mergers or acquisitions, affect a liquidation of the Company, pay dividends, or amend the provisions of the Company’s Certificate of Formation and Operating Agreement or any provision of any material contract. Other restrictive covenants include leverage restrictions, interest coverage, and fixed charge coverage. At March 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company was in compliance with all restrictive covenants.

Scheduled maturities of long-term debt are as follows:


Year ending December 31:
2009	$	153,000
2011		150,000
2012		100,000

TOTAL	$	403,000

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Affiliates of Cincinnati Bell Telephone, a member of CBD Holdings, provide the Company with billing, collection and distribution services. The related party receivable reported on the balance sheet represents cash collected by Cincinnati Bell Telephone that has not been remitted to the Company. Total fees for such services were $205 and $215 for the three months

ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. In addition, the Company provides Cincinnati Bell Telephone with advertising, printing and distribution services. Total fees for such services were $126 and $129, for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Entities affiliated with CBD Holdings provide management services to the Company under the terms of an advisory agreement. Total fees for such services were $500 for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004.

MANAGEMENT UNIT AWARDS AND INCENTIVE COMPENSATION

During 2002, CBD Holdings awarded 23,570 Class C units in CBD Holdings to management of the Company. During 2003, an additional 806 Class C units were issued. In 2004, 330 Class C units were forfeited. The fair value of the Class C units awarded to management of the Company on the date of grant was determined to be less than $3. The Class C units are subject to various restrictions, including continuous employment over a four year period. Subsequent to the vesting period, any transfer or sale of the Class C units is subject to the approval of the majority owners of CBD Holdings. Management believes that the restrictions on liquidation and lack of voting rights make the Class C units subordinate to the other classes of unit holders in CBD Holdings. Therefore, this arrangement is consistent with the definition of junior stock and is accounted for on its measurement date in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. (“FIN”) 38 – Determining the Measurement Date for Stock Option, Purchase, and Award Plans Involving Junior Stock. Compensation expense is not recorded until a measurement date is reached in accordance with FIN 38. A measurement date will be reached when the restrictions on the Class C units are removed, generally upon a change in control of the Company or approval of the majority owners of CBD Holdings. At the measurement date, the Company will recognize compensation expense equal to the fair value of the Class C units on that date.

In connection with the recapitalization in June 2003, CBD Investor, Inc. (parent of CBD Holdings) established an incentive compensation program for the Company’s employees who hold the Class C units, under which CBD Investor, Inc. paid these employees as a group, an aggregate amount of approximately $1,000 upon consummation of the recapitalization, which was expensed in July 2003. Additionally, CBD Investor, Inc. agreed to provide an additional pool to these employees of up to $4,350. This additional incentive amount is subject to vesting over a five-year period and is payable only upon the occurrence of certain specified events. Additionally, in order for any incentive amount to be payable, the aggregate value of the Class C units at such event must equal or exceed $8,600 but may not exceed $13,250. If the total value of the Class C units at the time of such event exceeds $13,250, then no incentive amount is payable. The incentive amount will be paid upon the occurrence of a qualifying event and charged to expense when the incentive payment becomes probable and in accordance with the remaining vesting period.

In April 2004, the holders of the Class C units received aggregate tax distributions from the Company of approximately $1,555. As these distributions were made by the Company without regard to vesting or eventual vesting of the Class C units, such distributions were recorded as compensation expense.

In connection with the October 2004 recapitalization, the holders of the Class C units received distributions from the Company of approximately $1,315. As these distributions were made by the Company without regard to vesting or eventual vesting of the Class C units, such distributions were recorded as compensation expense. In addition, CBD Holdings established an incentive compensation program under which the holders of the Class C units are eligible to receive additional distributions of approximately $1,315. The holders of Class C units will generally vest in and be paid the incentive compensation over a three-year period on each anniversary of the recapitalization subject to continued employment with the Company. Upon termination of employment the holder of Class C units will forfeit any unpaid incentive compensation and the forfeited amount will be allocated among the remaining Class C unit holders. The holders of Class C units will fully vest in the unvested incentive compensation upon a change in control. The amount of the incentive compensation is charged to expense over the vesting period. Compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2005 was approximately $182.

RESTRICTED SUBSIDIARIES

CBD Holdings is a holding company with no material operations of its own or assets other than the equity interests of CBD Media. Our operations are conducted through CBD Media. In October 2004, CBD Holdings issued and sold $100,000 of 9 ¼% senior notes due 2012; see Note 2. Our ability to make payments on the notes is dependent on the earnings and distribution of funds from CBD Media through loans, dividends or otherwise. However, CBD Media is not obligated to make funds available to us for payment on the notes. The terms of the senior credit facility and the indenture governing the subsidiary notes significantly restrict CBD Media from paying dividends and otherwise transferring assets to us, except for administrative, legal and accounting services.

Set forth below are the consolidated financial statements of CBD Holdings and its restricted subsidiaries as of March 31, 2005, December 31, 2004 and March 31, 2004 and for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004. The equity method of accounting has been used by CBD Holdings to report its investment in subsidiaries. Separate financial statements for CBD Holdings are not presented based on management’s determination that they do not provide additional information that is material to investors.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Overview

CBD Holdings operates entirely through its wholly-owned subsidiary, CBD Media. The following discussion and analysis of CBD Holdings’ financial condition and results of operations covers periods prior or subsequent to its acquisition of the directory publishing business assets of Cincinnati Bell Inc. CBD Holdings has operated as a stand-alone company since its acquisition of these assets on March 8, 2002. The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. The terms “we,” “us,” “our” or other similar terms refer to CBD Holdings and its subsidiaries, including our directory business, which is operated by CBD Media.

We are the exclusive telephone directory publisher for Cincinnati Bell branded yellow pages in the Cincinnati-Hamilton metropolitan area, which is the 23^rd largest metropolitan area in the country according to the most recent U.S. Census. We are a leader in the directory publishing industry, and in 2003, we believe our directories captured over 85% of total directory advertising spending in the Cincinnati-Hamilton metropolitan area.

We generate our revenues primarily through the sale of advertising in our directories. In 2004, we published 15 yellow pages directories and distributed over 2.4 million copies. These directories included advertisements from over 17,000 local customers who are principally small and medium-sized businesses, as well as approximately 1,100 national advertisers. We are also the exclusive publisher of the white pages for Cincinnati Bell Telephone. In 2004, we published one white pages directory and distributed over one million copies to businesses and residences.

On June 13, 2003, we entered into a senior credit facility providing for borrowings in an aggregate principal amount of up to $165.0 million, including a tranche B term loan facility of $160.0 million and a revolving credit facility providing for borrowings of up to $5.0 million. On June 13, 2003, we issued $150.0 million of 8 ⅝% senior subordinated notes due 2011, which we refer to as “senior subordinated notes”. We refer to the June 2003 transactions as the “2003 recapitalization”. The tranche B term loan facility was subsequently refinanced in February 2004 with a tranche C facility.

In October 2004, we completed a recapitalization, which we refer to as the “2004 recapitalization”. We issued and sold $100.0 million of 9 ¼% senior notes due 2012, which we refer to as the “senior notes”. In connection with the 2004 recapitalization, we amended the senior credit facility by replacing the existing tranche C term loan with a $153.0 million tranche D term loan. CBD Media distributed approximately $27.0 million to us, and we, in turn, distributed such funds, along with the net proceeds of the senior notes offering to our equityholders.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The application of these principles requires that in some instances we make estimates and assumptions regarding future events that impact the reported amount of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Predicting future events is inherently an imprecise activity and as such requires the use of judgments. On an ongoing basis, we review the basis for our estimates and will make adjustments based on current and anticipated economic conditions, accepted actuarial valuation methodologies or other factors that we consider to be reasonable under the circumstances. There can be no assurance that actual results will not differ from those estimates.

We consider the following policies to be important in understanding the judgments involved in preparing our financial statements and the uncertainties that could affect our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Revenue recognition. The sale of advertising in telephone directories published by us is our primary source of revenue. We recognize revenues ratably over the life of each directory using the deferral and amortization method, with revenue recognition commencing in the month of delivery.

Revenue from internet advertisements is recognized ratably over the twelve-month period we commit to carry the advertisement.

Cost of revenue. Direct costs related to the publication of print directories, including sales commissions, paper, printing, transportation, distribution and pre-press production and employee costs relating to each of the foregoing are recognized ratably over the life of each directory under the deferral and amortization method, with cost recognition commencing in the month of delivery.

Allowance for sales adjustments. Adjustments to revenue are primarily for estimated losses due to claims resulting from publication errors, omissions in customer advertising, customer early terminations or other customer complaints. Adjustments to revenue are accrued over the time period for which the associated revenues are billed.

Vendor incentives. We have long-term contracts with various vendors under which the vendors pay cash incentives to us for entering into the contracts. These incentives are recorded as deferred income and amortized as a reduction of cost of revenue over the related contract terms. The amount of deferred vendor incentives that are expected to be amortized within one year are recorded as a current liability within other current liabilities. The remaining portion of deferred vendor incentives are recorded within other long-term liabilities.

Goodwill and other intangible assets. Recorded goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized, but are tested for impairment annually in the fourth quarter. All other finite lived intangible assets are amortized over their useful lives and are reviewed for impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 144.

Results of Operations

Comparison of Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2005 and 2004.

Net Revenue. Net revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2005 was $21.9 million, consisting of $17.4 million in local advertising, $3.5 million in national advertising and $1.0 million in internet advertising. Net revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2004 was $21.7 million, consisting of $17.6 million in local advertising, $3.2 million in national advertising and $0.9 million in internet advertising. The difference is primarily related to the increase in local and internet revenue from the directories published in 2004.

Adjustments to revenue were $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004. Adjustments as a percentage of total revenue were 4% for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004.

Cost of Revenue. Cost of revenue was $8.0 million and $7.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The difference primarily is related to the increase in commissions expense due to the increase in revenue and additional advertising. Cost of revenue represented 36.5% of net revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004.

General and Administrative Expense. General and administrative expense was $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense. Depreciation and amortization expense was $6.3 million and $6.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The difference primarily is related to the accelerated amortization method that is used for advertiser related intangible assets.

Interest Expense. Interest expense was $8.0 million and $5.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The increase is primarily related to the increase in outstanding borrowings as a result of the recapitalization, which occurred on October 26, 2004 and the higher interest rate on the term loan facility.

Net Income (Loss). Net loss was $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005 compared to net income $1.2 million for the same period in 2004. The loss is primarily related to the increase in interest expense.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our management believes that cash flow generated from operations will be sufficient to continue to fund our interest and principal payment obligations, working capital requirements and future capital expenditures. The revolving credit facility provides an additional source of capital to fund these obligations, subject to the restrictions contained in the senior credit facility and the indentures governing the senior notes and senior subordinated notes. Any future acquisitions may require additional capital, which may be financed through borrowings under the revolving portion of the senior credit facility, the issuance of additional indebtedness or, issuance of equity securities of us or CBD Media, net cash provided by operations, other third-party financing or a combination of these alternatives. Such capital may not be available to us on acceptable terms or at all.

Total capital expenditures were zero in 2005 and 2004. We anticipate that the amount of capital expenditures will remain at insignificant levels and will not significantly increase for the foreseeable future.

Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Operations. Net cash provided by operations for the three months ended March 31, 2005, was $10.6 million as compared to $5.5 million for the same period in 2004. The change was primarily due to the timing of payments for printing costs associated with the June directories.

Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Financing Activities. Net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2005, was $0.1 million as compared to $12.2 million for the same period in 2004. The decrease is primarily due to payments on borrowings that were made in 2004.

Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 was insignificant.

Indebtedness. In connection with our acquisition of the directory publishing business, CBD Media incurred indebtedness of $220.0 million under its former credit facility, which was repaid and terminated on June 13, 2003 in connection with the 2003 recapitalization. On June 13, 2003, CBD Media entered into the senior credit facility providing for borrowings in an aggregate principal amount of up to $165.0 million and issued the senior subordinated notes. The senior credit facility contains financial, negative and affirmative covenants and requirements affecting CBD Holdings, CBD Media and its subsidiaries, including the maintenance of ratios measuring consolidated total leverage and consolidated senior leverage to EBITDA (as defined in the senior credit facility) as well as EBITDA (as defined in the senior credit facility) to consolidated interest expense. The senior credit facility also includes interest rate and similar arrangements that we may enter into with the lenders under the senior credit facility and/or the affiliates of those lenders. In the February 2004 refinancing, CBD Media amended the senior credit facility whereby the $160.0 million tranche B term loan facility was replaced with a $150.0 million tranche C term loan facility. In connection with the issuance of the senior notes, CBD Media executed an amendment to its senior credit facility that, among other things, (i) increased the size of the term loan portion of the senior credit facility by $23.0 million; (ii) replaced the $150.0 million tranche C term loan facility with a $153.0 million tranche D term loan facility; (iii) permitted us to issue the senior notes; (iv) permitted CBD Media, so long as there was no default or event of default under the senior credit facility, to make distributions to us necessary to make regularly scheduled payments of interest in respect of the senior notes; (v) so long as there was no default or event of default under the senior credit facility, set aside funds for the distribution to our equityholders of an amount not to exceed $130 million; (vi) deleted from the senior credit facility the requirement that CBD Media maintain a “fixed charge coverage ratio” and modified other financial ratios that CBD Media was required to maintain; and (vii) made other amendments and modifications to the senior credit facility related to the issuance of the senior notes.

In connection with the recapitalization in June 2003, on June 16, 2003, CBD Media paid a breakage fee of approximately $2.9 million to cancel a fixed interest rate swap agreement related to its former credit facility and substantially increased its leverage and significantly increased its liquidity requirements, primarily due to increased debt service obligations.

In June 2003, also as part of the 2003 recapitalization, CBD Media issued the senior subordinated notes. Interest is payable on the senior subordinated notes on June 1 and December 1 of each year and the senior subordinated notes will mature on June 1, 2011. The senior subordinated notes were issued pursuant to an indenture containing financial, negative and affirmative covenants and requirements affecting CBD Media and its affiliates, including limits on CBD Media’s ability to incur additional indebtedness, pay distributions or dividends or make other types of restructured payments, sell assets, consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets, enter into transactions with affiliates, create liens and enter into new lines of business.

In October 2004, we issued $100.0 million of senior notes due in 2012 with an interest rate of 9 ¼%. Interest on the senior notes is due semi-annually on January 15 and July 15, beginning on January 15, 2005. The aggregate principal amount of the senior notes will be due on July 15, 2012. The indenture governing the senior notes limits our ability to incur additional indebtedness, pay distributions or dividends or make other types of restricted payments, sell assets, consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets, enter into transactions with affiliates, create liens and enter into new lines of business.

Liquidity. Our operations are conducted through CBD Media. Our ability to make payments on our consolidated indebtedness, and to fund our working capital needs and planned capital expenditures will depend upon our ability to generate cash in the future. This, to an extent, is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors that are beyond our control. Our liquidity could also be impacted by a decline in usage of printed yellow page directories. While in the short term any impact could be offset by price increases, in the long term any such impact could limit our ability to meet our financial obligations.

Our ability to make payments on the senior notes is also subject to the terms and restrictions set forth in the senior credit facility and the indenture governing the senior subordinated notes. For example, under the terms of the senior credit facility, during any period that CBD Media is in default under the senior credit facility (including for failure to maintain required financial ratios) it would be prohibited from making distributions to us for the purpose of allowing us to make regularly scheduled interest payments on the senior notes. Moreover, the terms of the senior credit facility currently do not permit CBD Media to make distributions to us in order to permit us to repurchase senior notes in connection with a change of control or asset sale as may be required under the indenture governing the senior notes. Any failure by us to make such payments or to repurchase senior notes would be a default under the indenture governing the senior notes.

Further, the terms of the indenture governing the senior subordinated notes significantly restrict CBD Media and its subsidiaries from paying dividends or distributions to us and otherwise transferring assets to us if the aggregate amount of such dividends, distributions and transfers, together with all other “restricted payments” made by CBD Media since July 1, 2003, would exceed the sum of an amount calculated pursuant to a formula taking into account, among other things, the amount of CBD Media’s consolidated cash flow since July 1, 2003. There is no exception to this restriction in the indenture governing the senior subordinated notes that

would specifically permit us to pay interest and liquidated damages, if any, on the senior notes, repay the senior notes at maturity or to repurchase senior notes in connection with an asset sale or change of control transaction. Moreover, CBD Media’s ability to make any such dividends, distributions or other restricted payments requires that CBD Media (1) not be in default under the indenture and (2) be in compliance with the leverage ratio set forth in such indenture (which measures its ratio of indebtedness to consolidated cash flow).

In June and July 2003 as part of the 2003 recapitalization, CBD Media made to us, and correspondingly we made to our equiyholders, aggregate distributions of approximately $128.3 million. As part of the 2004 recapitalization, CBD Media made distributions to us of approximately $27.0 million. We paid a distribution to our equityholders of approximately $125.3 million, consisting of the aforementioned $27.0 million received from CBD Media together with the net proceeds from the offering of the senior notes. Employee equityholders received distributions as follows: 50% (approximately $1.3 million) was paid at closing and the remaining 50% (approximately $1.3 million) escrowed subject to time vesting of three years. As a result of these distributions, a significant amount of cash is unavailable to make payments on CBD Media’s indebtedness or on the senior notes. We have had, and expect to continue to have in the future, limited cash and cash equivalents on hand. Our primary source of liquidity is, and is expected to continue to be, cash flow generated from operations as well as our ability to borrow up to $5.0 million under the revolving portion of the senior credit facility.

Following the payment of these distributions to us, CBD Media has limited capacity to make distributions to us in the near future. Given the restrictions on CBD Media under the debt covenants, we currently anticipate that, in order to make scheduled payments of interest and liquidated damages, if any, on the senior notes, CBD Media will be required to (1) generate, every six months, restricted payment capacity under the restricted payment covenant under the indenture governing the senior subordinated notes in excess of $4.625 million and (2) have the ability to incur at least $1.00 of additional debt under such indenture.

Based on our current levels of operations, we believe that our cash flow from operations and available borrowings under the senior credit facility will be adequate to meet our consolidated liquidity for the foreseeable future and to permit CBD Media to make distributions to us to make scheduled interest payments on the senior notes. We cannot assure you, however, that in the long-term our business will generate sufficient cash flow from operations or that future borrowings will be available to us under the senior credit facility or otherwise in an amount sufficient to enable us to pay our indebtedness or to fund our other liquidity needs. To the extent that such sources were not adequate to fund our liquidity needs, we would need to raise additional capital, restructure our indebtedness or cut costs in order to lower our liquidity needs. If we consummate an acquisition, our debt service requirements could increase. We may need to refinance all or a portion of our indebtedness on or before maturity. We cannot assure you that we will be able to refinance any of our indebtedness on commercially reasonable terms or at all. We will require a significant amount of cash to service our debt, including the senior notes, and our ability to generate cash depends on many factors beyond our control.

Forward-Looking Statements

In this periodic report on Form 10-Q, we make forward-looking statements, which are subject to uncertainties. These statements are included throughout this report on Form 10-Q and relate to, among other things, analyses and other information based on forecasts of future results and estimates of amounts not yet determinable, including our ability to generate cash flow in the future and our ability to service our debt obligations. These forward-looking statements are identified by their use of terms and phrases such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “predict,” “project,” “will,” “continue,” and other similar terms and phrases, including references to assumptions.

These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties. Factors which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by us in those statements include, among others, the following:

•

national and local economic and business conditions that affect advertising expenditures by businesses and individuals as well as consumer trends in the usage of our principal product;

•

our ability to maintain relationships with third-party service providers;

•

the effect of competition in local telephone service on Cincinnati Bell Telephone’s current dominant position in the local market;

•

our relationship with Cincinnati Bell Telephone;

•

fluctuations in the price of paper;

•

the retention of key employees;

•

changes in taxes and government regulations that influence local phone service;

•

our degree of leverage, which may affect our ability to obtain financing in the future;

•

the reduction in our operating flexibility resulting from restrictive covenants in our debt agreements, including the risk of default that could occur;

•

the effects of tax legislative action;

•

the effect of any rating agency downgrades on the cost and availability of new debt financings; and

•

our relationship with our principal stockholders.

Although we believe the expectations reflected in our forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, we can give no assurance that we will attain these expectations or that any deviations will not be material. Except as otherwise required by the federal securities laws, we disclaim any obligation or undertaking to publicly release any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statement contained in this periodic report on Form 10-Q to reflect any change in our expectations with regard thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure of Market Risk.

Interest on the senior subordinated notes issued is charged at a fixed rate. As of March 31, 2005, approximately 62% of our total outstanding debt has a fixed interest rate. Interest rate changes generally do not affect the market value of floating rate debt but do impact the amount of our interest payments and our future earnings and cash flows. Conversely for fixed rate debt, interest rate changes do not impact future cash flows and earnings, but do impact the fair market value of such debt. As a portion of our debt bears a variable interest rate, changes in market rates for interest can impact our operating results and cash flows. For example, holding the amount of senior credit facility debt outstanding constant, a one percentage point increase in interest rates would have caused an estimated decrease in annual pre-tax earnings and cash flows of $1.5 million.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

As required by SEC Rule 13a-15(b), the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the foregoing, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report at the reasonable assurance level.

There has been no change in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the Company’s most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.

Item 5. Legal Proceedings.

From time to time, we are a party to litigation matters arising in connection with the normal course of our business. In many of these matters, plaintiffs allege that they have suffered damages from errors or omissions or improper listings contained in directories published by us. Although we have not had notice of any such claims that we believe to be material, any pending or future claim could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

In addition, we are exposed to defamation and breach of privacy claims arising from our publication of directories and our methods of collecting, processing and using personal data. The subjects of our data and users of data that we collect and publish could have claims against us if such data were found to be inaccurate, or if personal data stored by us was improperly accessed and disseminated by unauthorized persons. Although we have not had notice of any material claims relating to defamation or breach of privacy claims to date, we may become party to litigation matters that could have a material adverse effect on our business.
