FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2004 AND 2003

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Nature of Business—CBD Media LLC (the “Company”) is located in Cincinnati, Ohio. 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 cincinnatibellyellowpages.com and an electronic directory on CD-ROM. The Company, which is incorporated in Delaware and has 1000 member units, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of CBD Media Holdings LLC.

 

On May 21, 2003, the Company formed a wholly-owned finance subsidiary, CBD Finance, Inc. (“CBD Finance”), which is incorporated in the state of Delaware. CBD Finance recently co-issued senior subordinated notes, joint and severally, with the Company. Separate financial statements for CBD Finance are not provided because CBD 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 we are dependent upon the performance of third parties for the following key components of our 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, 2003 has not changed materially unless otherwise disclosed herein. Financial information as of December 31, 2003 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. The attrition experience results in an expected revenue stream where approximately 75% of the total revenues derived from advertisers occurs in the first ten years of the life of the advertisers. Approximately 20% of the expected revenues occurs in the second ten years with the remaining 5% in the final ten years. 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:
