ITEM 2.02 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

     The following information is being furnished pursuant to Item 2.02 of Form 8-K. This information shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

     On October 25, 2005, infoUSA Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release providing results of operations for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2005. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

     The Company hosted its third quarter conference call on October 26, 2005. A replay of the call is available through midnight Eastern Time, November 2, 2005. The replay number is 888/286-8010, passcode #53181384. A webcast of the conference call is available at the Company’s Investor Relations web site, http://ir.infousa.com.

     The attached press release includes certain financial information that has been determined by methods other than in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures are “EBITDA,” “capital expenditures” and “free cash flow.” Such measures are not measures of financial performance or liquidity under GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to the comparable GAAP measures for the applicable period. The Company has presented reconciling information for each of the above non-GAAP financial measures in the press release. The Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures in its analysis of the Company’s performance.

	•		“EBITDA” is defined as net income before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization of operating assets, and amortization of intangible assets. The Company’s management utilizes this measure as a key financial measure in the analysis of its financial performance, as it does with similar GAAP financial measures including operating income and cash flows from operations. The Company’s Credit Facility provides for financial covenants that are based on EBITDA, as adjusted. Additionally, the Company has historically had a significant amount of recorded goodwill and purchased intangibles resulting from the acquisition of other companies, and the amount of non-cash amortization expense associated with these acquisitions has varied significantly between reporting periods. The Company’s calculation of EBITDA is defined by footnote in the accompanying financial data table.
	•		“Free cash flow” is defined as cash flow from operations minus capital expenditures. “Capital expenditures” consists of the sum of purchases of property and equipment and capitalized software and database development costs as reported on the Company’s consolidated cash flows statement. The Company’s management utilizes these measures as a key financial measure in the analysis of its financial performance, as it does with similar GAAP financial measures including operating income and cash flows from operations.
