     The adjustment as outlined above is preliminary and subject to revision based on finalization of the 2007 financial statements.
     The information in this Item 2.02 of this Form 8-K and Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to the liability of that Section, nor shall such information be deemed to be incorporated by reference in any registration statement or other document filed under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
Item 4.02 Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review.
     The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of USA Mobility, Inc. (the “Company”) concluded on March 4, 2008 to restate the Company’s financial statements and other financial information for the interim quarterly period ended September 30, 2007. Management has also identified a material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007. The Company intends to reflect the restated financial information for the interim period ended September 30, 2007 in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.
     In light of the pending restatement, the Company’s previously filed financial statements and other financial information for the interim quarterly period ended September 30, 2007 should no longer be relied upon.
     The adjustment as outlined below is preliminary and subject to revision.
     The determination to restate the consolidated financial statements and other financial information for the interim period ended September 30, 2007 was made as a result of management’s assessment of an accounting error recently discovered during the preparation of the Company’s 2007 financial statements. The Company’s assessment resulted in the following adjustment to the interim period ended September 30, 2007.
     Income tax expense was incorrectly reduced in the third quarter of 2007. Due to the expiration of assessment statutes during the third quarter of 2007, the Company reduced its income tax liability for uncertain tax positions by $20.7 million. Of this reduction, approximately $7.4 million was initially recorded as a reduction of income tax expense; $11.6 million as a reduction of goodwill; and $1.7 million as a reduction of long-term deferred income tax assets.
     During the fourth quarter of 2007, management determined that $4.8 million of the original $7.4 million reduction of income tax expense during the third quarter of 2007 was attributable to a deferred income tax asset existing prior to a predecessor company’s emergence from bankruptcy. In accordance with American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Positions 90-7, Financial Reporting by Entities in Reorganization under the Bankruptcy Code, and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, third quarter income tax expense has been revised to reflect an increase of $4.8 million. The $4.8 million reduction in the income tax liability has been treated as an increase to additional paid-in capital.
     The adjustment discussed above does not impact our previously reported revenues, operating expenses, operating income, income before income taxes, balance sheet, or cash flow from operating, investing or financing activities.
     After reviewing these matters with the Audit Committee, management recommended to the Audit Committee that previously reported financial results for the interim period ended September 30, 2007 be restated to reflect this adjustment. The Audit Committee agreed with this recommendation, and determined at its meeting on March 4, 2008 that previously reported results for the Company for the interim period ended September 30, 2007 be restated to reflect this adjustment, and that previously filed financial statements and other financial information referred to above should no longer be relied upon.

     In connection with the evaluation described above, management has concluded that the pending restatement was a result of a material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
     A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that results in more than a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. The material weakness has now been identified and will be included in management’s assessment as of December 31, 2007.
     The Company did not maintain effective controls over the accuracy and valuation of the provision for income taxes in the third quarter of 2007. Specifically the Company did not maintain effective controls to review and monitor the accuracy of the components of the income tax provision calculation during the transition to a third party consultant. This control deficiency resulted in the restatement of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the interim period ended September 30, 2007 to correct income tax expense. Accordingly, management determined that this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness.
     Management has not finalized its assessment of internal control over financial reporting related to the preparation of the 2007 financial statements; accordingly the Company may identify additional control deficiencies as material weaknesses.
     The Audit Committee has discussed the matters mentioned herein with Grant Thornton LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm.
