These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits 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 examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for plan benefits of the Plan as of December 30, 2001 and 2000, and the changes in net assets available for plan benefits for the years ended December 30, 2001 and 2000 and December 31, 1999, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of assets held for investment purposes is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements, but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan's management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole. /s/ KPMG LLP ------------ KPMG LLP Omaha, Nebraska May 31, 2002 1 InfoUSA, INC. 401(k) PLAN Statements of Net Assets Available for Plan Benefits December 30, 2001 and 2000 2001 2000 ----------- ----------- Assets: Investments at fair value: Mutual funds (cost, $27,797,019 and $31,873,630 at December 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively) $30,038,994 30,465,980 infoUSA common stock (cost, $3,867,362 and $3,310,885 at December 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively) 4,848,663 2,092,439 Participant loans 563,457 257,941 ----------- ----------- Total investments 35,451,114 32,816,360 Receivables: Employer contribution 47,344 136,549 Participant contributions 122,471 322,616 Accrued interest -- 1,620 ----------- ----------- Total assets 35,620,929 33,277,145 Liabilities: Accrued administrative expenses 5,000 33,946 ----------- ----------- Net assets available for plan benefits $35,615,929 33,243,199 =========== =========== See accompanying notes to financial statements 2 InfoUSA, INC. 401(k) PLAN Statements of Changes in Net Assets Available for Plan Benefits Years ended December 30, 2001 and 2000 and December 31, 1999 2001 2000 1999 ----------- ----------- ----------- Additions to net assets attributed to: Investment income: Dividend income $ 1,170,596 2,963,324 1,831,455 Interest income 27,508 45,381 63,803 Net appreciation (depreciation) in fair value of investments 645,997 (4,296,618) 1,184,250 ----------- ----------- ----------- Total investment income (loss) 1,844,101 (1,287,913) 3,079,508 Contributions: Participants 4,492,322 5,165,585 3,529,171 Employer cash contribution 844,633 -- 333,556 Employer stock contribution 875,741 2,252,592 638,033 Rollover from Donnelley Marketing, Inc. -- 2,122,280 15,747,205 ----------- ----------- ----------- Total contributions 6,212,696 9,540,457 20,247,965 ----------- ----------- ----------- Total additions 8,056,797 8,252,544 23,327,473 ----------- ----------- ----------- Deductions from net assets attributed to: Benefits paid to participants 5,611,031 5,229,737 2,943,601 Administrative fees 73,036 100,150 75,617 ----------- ----------- ----------- Total deductions 5,684,067 5,329,887 3,019,218 ----------- ----------- ----------- Net increase 2,372,730 2,922,657 20,308,255 Net assets available for plan benefits: Beginning of year 33,243,199 30,320,542 10,012,287 ----------- ----------- ----------- End of year $35,615,929 33,243,199 30,320,542 =========== =========== =========== See accompanying notes to financial statements. 3 INFOUSA, INC. 401(K) PLAN Notes to Financial Statements December 30, 2001 and 2000 and December 31, 1999 (1) DESCRIPTION OF PLAN The following description of the infoUSA, Inc. 401(k) Plan (the Plan) provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan Agreement for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions. (a) GENERAL The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering employees of infoUSA, Inc. (the Company) who have been employed by the Company for any consecutive 6-month period and have attained age 21. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). The Plan believes they are in compliance with such provisions. Assets from the First Data Corporation Incentive Savings Plan attributable to certain employees of Donnelley Marketing, Inc. (Donnelley) totaling approximately $15.7 million were rolled over into the Plan October 15, 1999, with an additional approximately $2.1 million rolled over in 2000. The assets associated with these transfers and business changes were rolled into the available investment options of the Plan at the respective transfer dates. (b) CONTRIBUTIONS Participants may elect to contribute up to 15% of their pre-tax annual compensation, not to exceed limits set by the Secretary of the Treasury. The Company makes matching contributions of 50% of the first 6% of participant contributions; prior to January 1, 2000, the Company made matching contributions of 50% of the first 3% of participant contributions. Effective May 1, 1999, the Company's matching contribution is in the form of Company common stock. On February 14, 2001, this was amended so that the annual matching contribution to the Plan may be in the form of Company common stock or cash. The Company also contributes to the Plan a percentage of employees' salaries based on years of service to the Company to former Donnelley employees who qualified for this benefit prior to the Plan merger, which discontinued July 1, 2001. (c) PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS Each participant's account is credited with the participant's contribution, the Company's matching contribution, and an allocation of plan earnings based on balances in their account. All contributions are directed by the participants into the various investment options offered. Effective for the first quarter of 2001, the fees charged by the Trustee are paid from the Plan participants' accounts, rather than from forfeitures. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant's account. (d) VESTING Participants are immediately vested in their voluntary contributions plus actual earnings thereon. Vesting in the remainder of their accounts is based on years of continuous service. A participant is 100% vested after five years of credited service. 4 INFOUSA, INC. 401(K) PLAN Notes to Financial Statements December 30, 2001 and 2000 and December 31, 1999 (e) PARTICIPANT LOANS Effective February 1, 2001, the Plan determined loans will be allowed subject to a $1,000 minimum amount and will be granted for any purpose. In addition, the Plan assumed loans that were transferred in conjunction with plan mergers. These loans are secured by the balance in the participant's account and bear interest at rates that range from 6.0% to 9.5% at December 30, 2001. Principal and interest is paid ratably through payroll deductions. Loans are considered in default 90 days following the last payment for the loan. At the time of default, they are considered a distribution of the Plan. (f) PAYMENT OF BENEFITS Upon termination of service, a participant will receive a lump sum amount equal to the value of his or her account, subject to mandatory Federal income tax withholding, unless the participant rolls over the distribution into another qualified plan. (g) FORFEITURES Nonvested portions of terminated participants' accounts are forfeited. Forfeitures are applied against future Company contributions. Forfeitures as of December 30, 2001 and 2000 and December 31,1999, were $14,489, $78,057, and $83,985, respectively. (2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed in the preparation of these financial statements. (a) BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on an accrual basis and present the net assets available for benefits and changes in those net assets. (b) INVESTMENTS All Plan investments are held by T. Rowe Price (the Trustee) and are stated at fair value. Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Quoted market prices are used to determine fair value of investments. Interest income is recorded as earned on an accrual basis and dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. (c) PAYMENT OF BENEFITS Benefits are recorded when paid. (d) ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES Certain administrative expenses are paid by the Company. The Plan is responsible for administrative fees relating to certain recordkeeping expenses. 5 INFOUSA, INC. 401(K) PLAN Notes to Financial Statements December 30, 2001 and 2000 and December 31, 1999 (e) 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 significant estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures 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 results could differ from those estimates.
