PRIVATE BUSINESS, INC.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – Unaudited

A. Basis of Presentation

     The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial reporting and in accordance with Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X.

     In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim financial statements contained in this report reflect all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring accruals, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, and the results of operations for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.

     These consolidated financial statements, footnote disclosures and other information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002.

B. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

     The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of Private Business, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

     Our significant accounting policies include revenue recognition, self-insurance reserves (2002 only) and software development costs. Please refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002 for a more detailed description of these accounting policies.

Stock-Based Compensation

     The Company has elected to account for its stock-based compensation plans under the intrinsic value-based method of accounting prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and does not utilize the fair value method. However, the Company has adopted the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123, and has adopted the additional disclosure requirements as specified in SFAS No. 148, Accounting For Stock-Based Compensation — Transition and Disclosure.
