beliefs and assumptions with respect to future business plans, prospects, decisions and results, and are based on

information currently available to R.H. Donnelley. Accordingly, the statements are subject to significant risks,

uncertainties and contingencies which could cause R.H. Donnelley's actual operating results, performance or business

Condition and Results of Operations in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,

2004, as well as the Company's other periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and in summary

and without limitation include the following: (1) our ability to meet our substantial debt service obligations; (2)

restrictive covenants under the terms of our debt and convertible preferred stock agreements; (3) usage of print yellow

pages directories and changes in technology; (4) competition in the yellow pages industry and other competitive

media; (5) our ability to continue to successfully integrate the business acquired from SBC; (6) reliance on and

extension of credit to small- and medium-sized businesses; (7) dependence on third party providers of printing,

distribution and delivery services and the sale of advertising to national accounts; (8) general economic conditions and

consumer sentiment in our markets; and (9) fluctuations in the price and availability of paper.

During this presentation, we will also refer to certain non-GAAP financial measures. You can find additional

information about these measures and a reconciliation between these measures and the comparable GAAP measures

in the Appendices to this presentation, as well as pertinent information about these measures in our Current Report on

Notes to Schedules

Schedule 13

51

1)

Publishing revenue is recognized using the deferral and amortization method of accounting.  Under this method, when a directory is published, the

publication sales value is deferred and amortized into the income statement ratably over the life of the directory, which is typically 12 months.

Publication sales represent the billable value of advertising sales in directories that published during the period.  If events occur during the current period

that affect the comparability of sales to the prior year period, such changes in directory publication dates, then prior year sales are adjusted to conform to

the current period presentation and to maintain comparability.

2)

EBITDA represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.  Adjusted pro forma EBITDA represents adjusted pro forma earnings

before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.  EBITDA and Adjusted pro forma EBITDA are not measurements of operating performance

computed in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for operating income or net income prepared in conformity with GAAP.

In addition, EBITDA  may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

3)

As a result of the SPA Acquisition and SBC Directory Acquisition and the related financings and associated purchase accounting, 2004 and 2003

results reported in accordance with GAAP are not comparable, nor do they reflect the Company’s underlying operational or financial performance.

Additionally, these considerations with respect to the SBC Directory Acquisition will also affect the comparability of our 2004 and 2005 reported GAAP

results.  Accordingly, management is presenting adjusted pro forma information that, among other things, eliminates the purchase accounting effects of

each acquisition and assumes the SBC directory Acquisition and related financing occurred on January 1, 2003.  Management believes that the

presentation of this adjusted pro forma information will help financial statement users better and more easily compare current period underlying

operating results against what the combined company performance would more likely have been in the comparable prior period.  While management

believes the adjusted pro forma results reasonably represent results as if the businesses had been combined for the full years 2003 and 2004, because

of the differences in the application of accounting policies and practices between the Company and the acquired entities, management does not believe

these adjusted pro forma amounts are strictly comparable, nor are they necessarily indicative of results for future periods.  The pro forma results assume

that the appropriate pro rata portion of the revenues and direct costs of directories acquired in connection with the SPA Acquisition and SBC Directory

Acquisition that published prior to the respective acquisition, plus directories that published during the month of each acquisition, were recognized during

the period pursuant to the deferral and amortization method.  As a result of purchase accounting, these pre-acquisition revenues and expenses are not

included in reported GAAP results.  For the periods prior to the SBC Directory Acquisition, pro forma interest expense assumes that the transaction occurred

at the beginning of the periods presented and is based on the incremental debt actually incurred at the time of the acquisition and the interest rate in

effect at the time of the acquisition with no assumption of additional debt repayments.  As a result of purchase accounting required by GAAP, we

recorded the deferred directory costs related to directories that were scheduled to publish subsequent to each of the SPA Acquisition and SBC Directory

Acquisition, at their fair value, determined as (a) the estimated billable value of the published directory less (b) the expected costs to complete the

directories, plus (c) a normal profit margin.  We refer to this purchase accounting entry as “cost uplift.”  This “cost uplift” with respect to each transaction

has also been removed in the adjusted pro forma results.

4)

Publishing revenue is recognized using the deferral and amortization method of accounting.  Under this method, when a directory is published, the

publication sales value is deferred and amortized into the income statement ratably over the life of the directory, which is typically 12 months.




Notes to Schedules (cont’d)

5)

As a result of the SBC transaction and the related financing and associated accounting, 2005 and 2004 results reported in accordance with GAAP are not
comparable, nor do they reflect the Company's underlying operational or financial performance.  Accordingly, management is presenting certain non-
GAAP financial measures in addition to results reported in accordance with GAAP in order to better communicate underlying operational and financial
performance and to facilitate comparison of adjusted 2005 performance with adjusted pro forma 2004 results.  Adjusted results for 2005 exclude the
impact of purchase accounting as well as certain other adjustments.  Adjusted pro forma results for 2004 also reflect the combination of RHD with the
SBC directory business in Illinois and Northwest Indiana as if the transaction had been consummated at the beginning of the year presented and certain
other adjustments.  While management believes that the adjusted pro forma results reasonably resemble operational performances as if the SBC
transaction had been consummated at the beginning of the period presented, because of differences between RHD and predecessor accounting policies,  
management does not believe these pro forma results are strictly comparable.  The adjusted and adjusted pro forma results assume that the appropriate
pro rata portion of the revenues and direct costs of directories acquired from SBC that published prior to the acquisition plus, in the case of 2004 adjusted
pro forma results, all September 2004 directories were recognized during the period pursuant to the deferral and amortization method.  As a result of
purchase accounting, these pre-acquisition revenues and expenses are not included in reported GAAP results.  For the periods prior to the actual
acquisition date of September 1, 2004, adjusted pro forma interest expense assumes the transaction occurred at the beginning of the periods presented
and is based on the incremental debt actually incurred at the time of the acquisition and the interest rate in effect at the time of the acquisition with no
assumption for additional debt repayments.  See Schedule 12 for details of all adjustments to the reported GAAP results.  Additionally, the cost uplift
reported under GAAP to eliminate profit on sales contracts completed before the acquisition date for directories not yet published at the acquisition date
has also been excluded from adjusted and adjusted pro forma results.

Schedule 13

6)

As a result of the Sprint transaction and the related financing and associated accounting, 2005 and 2004 results reported in accordance with
GAAP are not comparable, nor do they reflect the Company's underlying operational or financial performance.  Accordingly, management is
presenting certain non-GAAP financial measures in addition to results reported in accordance with GAAP in order to better communicate
underlying operational and financial performance and to facilitate comparison of adjusted 2005 performance with adjusted 2004 results.  Adjusted
results reflect the elimination of purchase accounting and certain other adjustments.  The 2005 and 2004 adjusted results assume that the
appropriate pro rata portion of the revenue and direct costs of directories acquired from Sprint that published prior to the acquisition plus all
January 2003 Sprint directories were recognized during the period pursuant to the deferral and amortization method.  As a result of purchase
accounting, these pre-acquisition revenues and expenses are not included in reported GAAP results.  See Schedule 12 for details of all
adjustments to the reported GAAP results.  Additionally, the cost uplift reported under GAAP to eliminate profit on sales contracts completed
before the acquisition date for directories not yet published at the acquisition date has also been removed.

7)

The preferred dividend and the repurchase of Preferred shares is excluded because the adjusted results for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and
the adjusted pro forma results for the three months ended March 31, 2004 assuming the preferred shares were completely converted to common shares
at the beginning of the period and therefore no dividends would have been payable and no loss on the repurchase would have been recorded.

52




Notes to Schedules (cont’d)

Schedule 13

53

9)

On an adjusted and adjusted pro forma basis, basic and diluted EPS are calculated as net income (loss) divided by the weighted average basic and

diluted shares outstanding for the period assuming the preferred stock was converted to common stock at the beginning of the period.

10)

Adjustments for the three months ended March 31, 2005 include revenue and expenses for directories acquired from SBC that published prior to the

acquisition that would have been recognized during the period absent purchase accounting adjustments required under GAAP.  Pro forma

adjustments for the three months ended March 31, 2004 include (a) the revenue and expenses for directories acquired from SBC that published prior

to the acquisition that would have been recognized during the period absent purchase accounting adjustments required under GAAP, (b) DonTech's

selling and operational expenses prior to the acquisition, (c) certain differences between historical and current accounting policies of RHD and the

acquired entities and (d) the revenue and expenses for directories acquired from Sprint in 2003 that published prior to the acquisition plus all January

2003 directories that would have been recognized during the period absent purchase accounting adjustments required under GAAP.  Additionally, the

cost uplift reported under GAAP to eliminate profit on sales contracts completed before the acquisition date for directories not yet published at the

acquisition date has also been removed from both periods presented.

11)

Represents the additional depreciation and amortization expense related to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired from SBC over

their estimated useful lives.

12)

Represents the elimination of equity accounting used to account for RHD's 50% ownership interest in DonTech prior to the SBC transaction.

13)

Represents the additional interest expense from the incremental borrowings used to finance the SBC transaction.  For the periods prior to the actual

acquisition date of September 1, 2004, pro forma interest expense is based on the incremental debt actually incurred at the time of the acquisition and

the interest rate in effect at the time of the acquisition with no assumption for additional debt repayments.  For periods after the acquisition date,

interest expense is determined in accordance with GAAP results.

14)

Represents the tax effect of adjustments.

15)

Publication sales represent the billable value of advertising sales in directories that published during the period.  If events occur during the current

period that affect the comparability of sales to the prior year period, such as changes in directory publication dates, then prior year sales are adjusted

to conform to the current period presentation and to maintain comparability.

16)

EBITDA represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.  Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted pro forma EBITDA represent

adjusted earnings and adjusted pro forma earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.  EBITDA, adjusted EBTIDA and adjusted pro

forma EBITDA are not measurements of operating performance computed in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for

operating income or net income prepared in conformity with GAAP.  In addition, EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other

companies.

8)

On a reported basis, basic EPS are calculated under the “two-class” method that requires earnings available to common shareholders, after

deducting preferred dividends, to be allocated between the common and preferred shareholders based on the respective rights to receive dividends.

Basic EPS are then calculated by dividing income allocable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding.

Diluted EPS are calculated by dividing income allocable to common shareholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding plus

potentially dilutive common stock equivalents.  In periods that result in a net loss, the net loss is not allocated between common and preferred

shareholders since the preferred shareholders do not have a contractual obligation to share in any loss.
