DEX MEDIA WEST LLC
AN INDIRECT WHOLLY-OWNED SUBSIDIARY OF DEX MEDIA, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
|
|
| 1. |
Description of business |
Dex Media West LLC (Dex Media West or the
Company) is a subsidiary of Dex Media West, Inc. and
an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Dex Media, Inc.
(Dex Media). Dex Media West operates the directory
business in Arizona, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Utah, Washington
and Wyoming (collectively, the Dex West States).
The directory business was acquired from Qwest Dex, Inc.
(Qwest Dex) in a two phase purchase between Dex
Holdings LLC (Dex Holdings), the former parent of
Dex Media and Qwest Dex. Dex Holdings and Dex Media were formed
by the private equity firms of The Carlyle Group and Welsh,
Carson, Anderson & Stowe (WCAS)
(collectively, the Sponsors).
In the first phase of the purchase, which was consummated on
November 8, 2002, Dex Holdings assigned to Dex Media
East LLC (Dex Media East), another indirect
wholly-owned subsidiary of Dex Media, its right to purchase the
directory business of Qwest Dex in Colorado, Iowa, Minnesota,
Nebraska, New Mexico, North Dakota and South Dakota. In the
second phase of the purchase, which was consummated on
September 9, 2003 (the Acquisition), Dex
Holdings assigned its right to purchase the directory business
of Qwest Dex in the Dex West States (Dex West) to
the Company. Dex Holdings was dissolved effective
January 1, 2005.
The Company is the exclusive official directory publisher for
Qwest Corporation, the local exchange carrier of Qwest
Communications International, Inc. (Qwest), in the
Dex West States. As a result, the Company is the largest
telephone directory publisher of white and yellow pages
directories to businesses and residents in the Dex West States.
The Company provides directory, Internet and direct marketing
solutions to local and national advertisers. Virtually all of
the Companys revenue is derived from the sale of
advertising in its various directories. Published directories
are distributed to residents and businesses in the Dex West
States through third-party vendors. The Company operates as a
single segment.
|
|
| (c) |
Dex Medias Initial Public Offering |
Effective July 21, 2004, Dex Media consummated its initial
public offering of common stock (the Dex Media IPO).
Immediately prior to the Dex Media IPO, Dex Media effected a
10-for-1 split of all authorized shares of common stock. Share
and per share data included in Note 7 for the three months
ended March 31, 2004 have been restated to reflect the
stock split. On August 26, 2004, a portion of the net
proceeds related to the Dex Media IPO was used to redeem
$18.2 million of Dex Media Wests senior subordinated
notes at a redemption price of 109.875% along with the accrued
and unpaid interest. Also in connection with the Dex Media IPO,
the Company paid $5.0 million to each of the Sponsors to
eliminate the $2.0 million aggregate annual advisory fees
payable under Dex Media Wests management consulting
agreements.
The accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial
statements are unaudited. In compliance with the instruction of
the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for
interim financial statements, certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America have been omitted. In
managements opinion, the condensed consolidated financial
statements reflect all adjustments (which consist

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to fairly present the
condensed consolidated statements of financial position as of
March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, and the
condensed consolidated statements of operations and cash flows
for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004. These
condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements
of the Company as of December 31, 2004 and 2003 and for the
year ended December 31, 2004, for the periods from
September 10 to December 31, 2003 and from
January 1 to September 9, 2003, and for the year ended
December 31, 2002 included in the Companys Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2004, as filed with the SEC. The condensed consolidated
statements of operations for the three months ended
March 31, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the
results expected for the full year.
The accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations
for the three months ended March 31, 2004 include all
material adjustments required under purchase accounting related
to the Acquisition subsequent to September 9, 2003.
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform
to the 2005 presentation.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
|
|
| (a) |
Principles of Consolidation |
The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company
include the results of operations, financial position, and cash
flows of Dex Media West and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.
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 amounts and
disclosures reported in these condensed consolidated financial
statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.
The sale of advertising in printed directories published by the
Company is the primary source of revenue. The Company recognizes
revenue ratably over the life of each directory using the
deferral and amortization method of accounting, with revenue
recognition commencing in the month of delivery.
The Company publishes white and yellow pages directories with
primarily 12-month lives. From time to time, the Company may
choose to change the publication dates of certain directories in
order to more efficiently manage work and customer flow. The
lives of the affected directories are expected to be
12 months thereafter. Such publication date changes do not
have a significant impact on the Companys recognized
revenue as the Companys sales contracts generally allow
for the billing of additional monthly charges in the case of
directories with extended lives. During the three months ended
March 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company published 42 and
41 directories, respectively.
The Company enters into transactions such as exclusivity
arrangements, sponsorships, and other media access transactions,
where the Companys products and services are promoted by a
third party and, in exchange, the Company carries the
partys advertisement. The Company accounts for these
transactions in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force
(EITF) Issue No. 99-17 Accounting for
Advertising Barter Transactions. Revenue and expense
related to such transactions are included in the condensed
consolidated statements of operations consistent with reasonably
similar items sold or purchased for cash. Such barter
6

AN INDIRECT WHOLLY-OWNED SUBSIDIARY OF DEX MEDIA, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
transactions were not significant to the Companys
financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2005
and 2004.
In certain cases, the Company enters into agreements with
customers that involve the delivery of more than one product or
service. Revenue for such arrangements is allocated in
accordance with EITF Issue No. 00-21 Revenue
Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables.
The Company accounts for cost of revenue under the deferral and
amortization method of accounting. Accordingly, the
Companys cost of revenue recognized in a reporting period
consists of: (i) costs incurred in that period and
recognized in that period, principally sales salaries and wages;
(ii) costs incurred in a prior period, a portion of which
is amortized and recognized in the current period; and
(iii) costs incurred in the current period, a portion of
which is amortized and recognized in that period and the balance
of which is deferred until future periods. Consequently, there
will be a difference between the cost of revenue recognized in
any given period and the costs incurred in the given period.
Costs incurred in the current period and subject to deferral
include direct costs associated with the publication of
directories, including sales commissions, paper, printing,
transportation, distribution and pre-press production and
employee and systems support costs relating to each of the
foregoing. Sales commissions include commissions paid to
employees for sales to local advertisers and to third-party
certified marketing representatives which act as the
Companys channel to national advertisers. All deferred
costs related to the sales and production of directories are
recognized ratably over the life of each directory under the
deferral and amortization method of accounting, with cost
recognition commencing in the month of delivery. From time to
time the Company has changed the publication dates of certain
directories. In such cases, the estimated life of the related
unamortized deferred cost of revenue is revised to amortize such
cost over the new remaining estimated life. Changes in directory
publication dates typically do not result in any additional
direct incurred costs.

(e) Stock-Based
Compensation |
The Company accounts for the Stock Option Plan of Dex Media,
Inc. and the Dex Media, Inc. 2004 Incentive Award Plan, as more
fully discussed in Note 7, under the recognition and
measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board Opinion
No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees, and related Interpretations. Had the
Company accounted for employee stock option grants under the
minimum value method for options issued prior to becoming a
publicly traded company and the fair value method after becoming
a publicly traded company, both of which are prescribed by
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS)
No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation, the pro forma results of the Company
would have been as follows (in thousands):

DEX MEDIA WEST LLC
AN INDIRECT WHOLLY-OWNED SUBSIDIARY OF DEX MEDIA, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
The Company is included in the consolidated Federal income tax
return and combined or consolidated state income tax returns,
where permitted, for Dex Media, the Companys indirect
parent. Although the Company is a single member limited
liability company and is disregarded as a taxable entity for
income tax purposes, the Company calculates and records income
taxes as if it filed a tax return on a stand-alone basis.
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability
method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded to
reflect the future tax consequences of temporary differences
between the financial reporting bases of assets and liabilities
and their tax bases at each year end. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are measured using the enacted income tax rates in
effect for the year in which those temporary differences are
expected to be recovered or settled. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are adjusted for future income tax rate changes in
the year the changes are enacted. Deferred tax assets are
recognized for operating loss and tax credit carryforwards if
management believes, based upon existing evidence, that it is
more likely than not that the carryforwards will be utilized.
All deferred tax assets are reviewed for realizability and
valuation allowances are recorded if it is more likely than not
that the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

(g) New Accounting
Standards |
On March 29, 2005, the SEC released Staff Accounting
Bulletin (SAB) No. 107. SAB No. 107
provides an interpretation of SFAS No. 123R and its
interaction with certain SEC rules and regulations and provides
the SECs views regarding the valuation of share-based
payment arrangements for public companies. The SAB provides
guidance with regard to share-based payment transactions with
non-employees, the transition from nonpublic to public entity
status, valuation methods (including assumptions such as
expected volatility and expected term), the accounting for
certain redeemable financial instruments issued under
share-based payment arrangements, the classification of
compensation expense, non-GAAP financial measures, first-time
adoption of SFAS No. 123R, the modification of
employee share options prior to adoption of
SFAS No. 123R and disclosures in Managements
Discussion and Analysis subsequent to the adoption of
SFAS No. 123R. Based upon the options outstanding as
of March 31, 2005, the Company has determined that the
adoption of SAB 107 will not have a material impact on the
Companys results of operations.
On April 14, 2005, the SEC announced the adoption of a new
rule that amends the compliance dates for
SFAS No. 123R. Under SFAS No. 123R,
registrants would have been required to implement the standard
as of the beginning of the first interim or annual period that
begins after June 15, 2005. The SECs new rule
requires companies to implement SFAS No. 123R at the
beginning of their first fiscal year beginning on or after
June 15, 2005, instead of the first reporting period that
begins after June 15, 2005. This means that the financial
statements of the Company must comply with
SFAS No. 123R beginning with the interim financial
statements for the first quarter of 2006. The SECs new
rule does not change the accounting required by
SFAS No. 123R; it changes only the dates for
compliance with the standard.
