Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

The Board of Directors

Level 3 Communications, Inc.:

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of the Vyvx Ads Business (a carve-out of Level 3 Communications, Inc.) as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related statements of operations, cash flows and changes in business capital for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Vyvx Ads Business management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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 financial position of the Vyvx Ads Business as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

VYVX ADS BUSINESS

(A Carve Out of Level 3 Communications, Inc.)

 

Notes to the Financial Statements

December 31, 2007 and 2006

 

1.             Basis of Presentation

 

The Vyvx Ads Business (the “Ads Business” or “Vyvx Ads Business”) consists of certain assets and liabilities of Vyvx, LLC and other subsidiaries of Level 3 Communications, Inc. On December 19, 2007, Level 3 Communications, Inc. and subsidiaries (“Level 3”) reached a definitive agreement to sell certain assets and liabilities of the Vyvx Ads Business to DG Fastchannel, Inc. for $129 million in cash consideration. The purchase price is subject to certain post closing working capital adjustments. Consummation of the transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including receipt of applicable federal regulatory approvals. The transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of calendar 2008.

 

The Ads Business is a provider of video and audio content distribution, post-production and other services to advertisers including movie studios and branded enterprises as well as advertising agencies. The Ads Business distributes advertising content to television and radio broadcasters both electronically via satellite and terrestrial networks as well as through physical delivery. The Ads Business’ other services include post-production editing and encoding services, along with master storage and warehousing.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared to reflect the historical financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Ads Business, including the push down of the purchase price of the Ads Business when it was acquired by Level 3 in December 2005, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The carve-out financial statements have been prepared on a basis that management believes to be reasonable to reflect the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Ads Business operations, including portions of Level 3’s corporate costs and administrative shared services.

 

Management believes the assumptions and allocations underlying the accompanying financial statements are reasonable and appropriate under the circumstances. However, the amounts recorded for these transactions and allocations are not necessarily representative of the amounts that would have been reflected in the financial statements had the Ads Business been an entity that operated independently of Level 3. Consequently, future results of operations after the Ads Business separation from Level 3 will include costs and expenses for the Ads Business to operate as an independent company or as part of a company with a different operations structure than Level 3, and these costs and expenses may be materially different from Ads Business historical results of operations, financial position and cash flows. Accordingly, the financial statements for the periods presented are not indicative of the Ads Business future results of operations, financial position and cash flows. See Note 8 for additional discussion of such intercompany allocations.

 

The Ads Business historically has operated as part of Level 3 and not as a stand alone company. Financial statements were not previously prepared for the Ads Business as it has no separate legal status or existence.

Notes to the Financial Statements

December 31, 2007 and 2006

 

2.             Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Ads Business’ service revenue from distribution of video advertising content is based on a rate per delivery, and the Ads Business recognizes revenue for these services upon notification of successful delivery of the content to television or radio stations. Post-production editing and encoding services revenue is recognized when the services are provided. Storage and warehousing revenue is recognized in the month service is provided.

 

Cost of Revenue

 

The Ads Business includes in cost of revenue satellite transponder lease costs, package delivery costs, blank tape media costs and direct and allocated costs associated with the use of Level 3’s terrestrial network (see Note 8).

 

Depreciation and Amortization

 

The Vyvx Ads Business was acquired by Level 3 as part of its acquisition of WilTel Communications Group, LLC (“WilTel”) in December 2005. In that transaction, the fair value of the assets acquired exceeded the total purchase price paid and the liabilities assumed in the transaction. As a result, the excess value was applied against the fair value of the long-lived assets obtained in the transaction, including the property, plant and equipment and intangible assets of the Vyvx Ads Business.

 

Depreciation expense for property, plant and equipment acquired with WilTel is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated remaining useful life of the assets.

 

Depreciation for the property, plant and equipment of the Ads Business is computed based on the following useful lives:

 

Facility and Leasehold Improvements

 

3 - 35 years

 

Operating Equipment

 

1 - 7 years

 

Furniture, Fixtures and Office Equipment

 

1 - 7 years

 

 

Amortization expense for customer relationships is computed using the straight-line method and an 11 year estimated life. The Vyvx trademark has an indefinite life and is therefore not being amortized.

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses include salaries, wages and related benefits (including non-cash charges for stock plan awards), travel, rent, utilities, contract maintenance and other administrative expenses. These costs are incurred directly by the Ads Business or included in the allocation of costs and expenses from Level 3.

VYVX ADS BUSINESS

(A Carve Out of Level 3 Communications, Inc.)

 

Notes to the Financial Statements

December 31, 2007 and 2006

 

Stock-Based Employee Compensation

 

The Ads Business adopted the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123R”) effective January 1, 2006. Stock-based compensation expense reflected in the accompanying financial statements relates to stock plan awards of Level 3 and not stock awards of the Ads Business itself (see Note 5).

 

Income Taxes

 

The Ads Business’ results of operations have historically been included in the consolidated federal income tax and various state income tax returns of Level 3. The income tax amounts reflected in the accompanying financial statements have been allocated based on taxable income directly attributable to the Ads Business on a stand-alone basis. Management believes that the assumptions underlying the allocation of income taxes are reasonable. However, the amounts allocated for income taxes in the accompanying financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the amount of income taxes that would have been recorded had the Ads Business been operated as a separate, stand-alone entity. The income tax liability for each period is included in invested capital on the balance sheet.

 

Income taxes have been provided for using the liability method in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (“SFAS 109”). SFAS 109 requires an asset and liability based approach in accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of the Ads Business’ assets and liabilities. The impact on deferred taxes of changes in tax rates and laws, if any, applied to the years during which the temporary differences are expected to be settled, are reflected in the accompanying financial statements in the period of enactment (see Note 6).

 

Inventory

 

Inventory consists primarily of blank media used to distribute content to customers. Due to the lack of sufficient information to demonstrate the existence and cost of inventory, the Ads Business has reflected no inventory at December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005. Purchases of blank media in 2006 are included directly in cost of revenue in the statement of operations. The Ads Business performed a physical count of the blank media at December 31, 2007 and therefore reflected the inventory in the accompanying balance sheet. Inventory at December 31, 2007 is carried at the lower of cost, determined using an average cost method, or market.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

The Ads Business reviews long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment and customer relationships, for impairment at least annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.

 

The Ads Business reviews the Vyvx trademark for impairment at least annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of the Vyvx trademark may not be recoverable. The

Notes to the Financial Statements

December 31, 2007 and 2006

 

impairment test consists of a comparison of the fair value of the Vyvx trademark with its carrying value. If the carrying value of the Vyvx trademark exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess.

 

There were no impairment charges recorded for property, plant and equipment, customer relationships or the Vyvx trademark in 2007 or 2006.

 

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 estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The most critical estimates and assumptions are made in determining the allowance for doubtful accounts, valuation of inventory, recoverability of long-lived assets, useful lives of long-lived assets, accruals for estimated liabilities that are probable and estimable and the valuation and recognition of stock-based compensation. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In June 2006, FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN No. 48”), which was effective for the Ads Business starting January 1, 2007. FIN No. 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS 109. FIN No. 48 also prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return that results in a tax benefit. Additionally, FIN No. 48 provides guidance on de-recognition, income statement classification of interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods and disclosure. The policy of the Ads Business is to recognize interest and penalty expense associated with uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense in the statements of operations. The adoption of FIN No. 48 did not have an effect on the Ads Business’ results of operations or financial condition as of and for the year ended December 31, 2007.

 

In June 2006, the FASB ratified the consensus on EITF Issue No. 06-3, “How Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should Be Presented in the Income Statement” (“EITF No. 06-3”), which was effective for the Ads Business starting January 1, 2007. The scope of EITF No. 06-3 includes any tax assessed by a governmental authority that is directly imposed on a revenue-producing transaction between a seller and a customer and may include, but is not limited to, sales, use, value added, Universal Service Fund (“USF”) contributions and some excise taxes. The Task Force concluded that entities should present these taxes in the income statement on either a gross or a net basis, based on their accounting policy, which should be disclosed pursuant to APB Opinion No. 22, “Disclosure of Accounting Policies”. If such taxes are significant and are presented on a gross basis, the amounts of those taxes should be disclosed. The adoption of EITF No. 06-3 did not have a material effect on the Ads Business results of operations or financial condition for the year ended December 31, 2007.

 

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS No. 157”), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting

principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 does not require any new fair value measurements, but provides guidance on how to measure fair value by providing a fair value hierarchy used to classify the source of the information. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within that fiscal year. The adoption of SFAS No. 157 had no effect on the Ads Business results of operations or financial condition upon adoption on January 1, 2008.

The Ads Business was acquired by Level 3 as part of the WilTel transaction in December 2005 which included acquired identifiable intangible assets of $83.000 million, of which $38.206 million has been allocated to the Ads Business from Level 3. The acquired intangible assets allocated to the Ads Business include customer relationships which are being amortized over a period of 11 years on a straight-line basis, which management believes to reasonably reflect the pattern over which the economic benefits are being derived. Level 3 also allocated a portion of the Vyvx trademark value to the Ads Business. The Vyvx trademark intangible has been assigned an indefinite life.

5.             Level 3 Stock Plan Awards and 401(k) Plan

 

The Ads Business participates in Level 3 compensation programs that are designed with particular emphasis on equity-based incentive programs. The Ads Business adopted the recognition provisions of SFAS 123R effective January 1, 2006. Under SFAS 123R, the fair value of an option or other stock-based compensation (as computed in accordance with accepted option valuation models) on the date of grant is amortized over the vesting periods of the option or stock grant. Stock-based compensation expense reflected in the accompanying financial statements relates to stock plan awards of Level 3 and not stock awards of the Ads Business itself.

 

Although the recognition of the value of the instruments results in compensation expense in an entity’s financial statements, the expense differs from other compensation expense in that these charges may not be settled in cash, but rather, are generally settled through issuance of common stock. The amount of the

Notes to the Financial Statements

non-cash charges will be dependent upon a number of factors, including the number of grants, the fair value of each grant estimated at the time of its award and the number of grants that ultimately vest.

 

The following table summarizes non-cash compensation expense for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 for Level 3 stock plan awards and 401(k) contributions granted to Ads Business employees.

Outperform Stock Options

 

Eligible employees of the Ads Business participate in the Level 3 outperform stock option (“OSO”) program that was designed so that Level 3’s stockholders would receive a market return on their investment before OSO holders receive any return on their options. Level 3 believes that the OSO program directly aligns management’s and stockholders’ interests by basing stock option value on Level 3’s ability to outperform the market in general, as measured by the Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”) 500® Index. Participants in the OSO program do not realize any value from awards unless Level 3’s common stock price outperforms the S&P 500® Index during the life of the grant. When the stock price gain is greater than the corresponding gain on the S&P 500® Index, the value received for awards under the OSO plan is based on a formula involving a multiplier related to the level by which Level 3’s common stock outperforms the S&P 500® Index. To the extent that Level 3’s common stock outperforms the S&P 500® Index, the value of OSO units to a holder may exceed the value of restricted stock units.

 

OSOs issued prior to 2007 vest over two years and have a 4-year life. Fifty percent of the award vests at the end of the first year after grant, with the remaining 50% vesting over the second year (12.5% per quarter). Awards issued after 2006 vest 100% on the third anniversary of the date of the award and will fully settle on that date. Recipients have no discretion on the timing to exercise OSO units granted after 2006, thus the expected life of all such OSO units is three years.

 

As of December 31, 2007, the Ads Business had not reflected $35 thousand of unamortized compensation expense in its financial statements for previously granted OSO units. The weighted average period over which this cost will be recognized is 2.01 years.

 

The fair value of the OSO units granted to Ads Business employees is calculated by applying a modified Black-Scholes model with the assumptions identified below. Level 3 utilized a modified Black-Scholes model due to the additional variables required to calculate the impact of the success multiplier of the OSO program. Level 3 also considers the estimated forfeiture rate to measure the amount of expense of OSOs granted to employees. Level 3 believes that given the relative short life of the options and the other

Notes to the Financial Statements

variables used in the model, the modified Black-Scholes model provides a reasonable estimate of the fair value of the OSO units at the time of grant.

The fair value of each OSO grant equals the calculated theoretical value multiplied by the Level 3 common stock price on the grant date.

 

The expected life data was stratified based on levels of responsibility within Level 3. The theoretical value used in 2006 was determined using the weighted average exercise behavior for these groups of employees. As described above, recipients have no discretion on the timing to exercise OSO units granted after 2006, thus the expected life of all such OSO units is three years. Upon adoption of SFAS 123R, the Ads Business updated its calculation of the Expected Life. Volatility assumptions were derived using historical data as well as current market data.

 

The fair value under SFAS 123R for the approximately 7 thousand and 30 thousand OSO units awarded to Ads Business participants during the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, was approximately $45 thousand and $190 thousand, respectively.

 

Restricted Stock and Units

 

Employees of the Ads Business receive restricted stock units of Level 3. In 2007 and 2006, approximately 79 thousand and 22 thousand restricted stock units, respectively, were awarded to certain employees of the Ads Business. The restricted stock units were granted to the recipients at no cost. Restrictions on transfer lapse over four year periods. The fair value of restricted stock units awarded for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 totaled $396 thousand and $97 thousand, respectively, and was calculated using the value of the Level 3 common stock on the grant date and is being amortized over the restriction lapse periods of the awards. As of December 31, 2007, the total compensation cost related to restricted stock units not yet recognized because the restrictions on transfer had not lapsed was $270 thousand, and the weighted average period over which this cost will be recognized is 3.36 years.

 

The total fair value of restricted stock units at the date the restrictions lapsed during the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 was $28 thousand and $0, respectively.

401(k) Plan

 

The Ads Business offers its qualified employees the opportunity to participate in a defined contribution retirement plan qualifying under the provisions of Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code (“401(k) Plan”). The 401(k) Plan relates to Level 3 and not the Ads Business itself. Each employee is eligible to contribute, on a tax deferred basis, a portion of annual earnings generally not to exceed $15,500 in 2007. The Ads Business matches 100% of employee contributions up to 7% of eligible earnings or applicable regulatory limits.

 

The Ads Business’ matching contributions are made with Level 3 common stock based on the closing stock price on each pay date. The Ads Business’ matching contributions are made through units in the Level 3 Stock Fund, which represent shares of Level 3 common stock. The Level 3 Stock Fund is the mechanism that is used for Level 3 to make employer matching and other contributions to employees through the Level 3 401(k) plan. Employees are not able to purchase units in the Level 3 Stock Fund. Employees are able to diversify the Ads Business’ matching contribution as soon as it is made, even if they are not fully vested. The Ads Business’ matching contributions vest ratably over the first three years of service or over such shorter period until the employee has completed three years of service at which time the employee is then 100% vested in all the Ads Business’ matching contributions, including future contributions. The Ads Business made 401(k) Plan matching contributions of $288 thousand and $154 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2007 and the period from June 17, 2006 through December 31, 2006, respectively.

 

Employees of the Ads Business began contributing to the Level 3 plan on June 17, 2006. Prior to June 17, 2006, employees of the Ads Business who participated in the WilTel 401(k) Plan received an employer matching cash contribution of 100% of employee contributions up to 6% of eligible earnings or regulatory limits. The Ads Business made matching cash contributions of $53 thousand for the period from January 1 through June 16, 2006.

 

The Ads Business made a discretionary contribution to the 401(k) plan in Level 3 common stock for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 equal to three percent of eligible employees’ earnings each year. The 2007 deposit was made into the employees’ 401(k) accounts during the first quarter of 2008. The 2006 deposit was made into the employees’ 401(k) accounts during the first quarter of 2007. The Ads Business recorded an expense of $201 thousand and $212 thousand for the discretionary contribution in 2007 and 2006, respectively.

 

The Ads Business’ matching and discretionary contributions were recorded as non-cash compensation and included in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Notes to the Financial Statements

December 31, 2007 and 2006

 

The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. The Ads Business considers projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment.

 

The Ads Business adopted the provisions of FIN No. 48 on January 1, 2007. The adoption of FIN No. 48 did not affect the Ads Business’ liability for uncertain tax positions. The Ads Business did not record a liability for uncertain tax positions at December 31, 2007 or on January 1, 2007. The Ads Business does not expect its liability for uncertain tax positions will change significantly during the twelve months ended December 31, 2008; however, actual changes in the liability for uncertain tax positions could be different than currently expected.

 

7.             Commitments

 

Operating Leases

 

The Ads Business leases facilities under various operating leases which, in addition to rental payments, may require payments for insurance, maintenance, property taxes and other executory costs related to the lease. Certain leases provide for adjustments in lease cost based upon adjustments in the consumer price index and increases in the landlord’s management costs.

 

Future minimum payments for the next five years under non-cancelable operating leases for facilities (including common area maintenance) consist of the following at December 31, 2007 (in thousands):

Level 3 provides certain management and administrative services to the Ads Business. These services include, among others, accounting, treasury, tax, legal, executive oversight, human resources, real estate, information technology and risk management. The accompanying financial statements include an allocation of these corporate expenses of approximately $1.455 million and $1.673 million for the years ended December 2007 and 2006, respectively.

 

19



 

VYVX ADS BUSINESS

(A Carve Out of Level 3 Communications, Inc.)

 

Notes to the Financial Statements

December 31, 2007 and 2006

 

Level 3 has also allocated costs of its employee benefit plans and other employee incentives to the Ads Business. Employee benefits and incentives include 401(k) matching contributions and discretionary grants to the 401(k) plan, participation in Level 3’s long-term incentive compensation award plans and healthcare plans. The employee benefit and incentive costs are reflected in selling, general and administrative expenses in the statements of operations.

 

Level 3 has also allocated costs associated with a portion of its terrestrial communications network to the Ads Business as the Ads Business utilizes portions of the network to transport content to television and radio broadcasters or between its own facilities. Costs of $2.794 million and $2.295 million are included in cost of revenue for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The 2007 allocation was based on revenue of the Ads Business as a percentage of the total revenue generated by the acquired WilTel network, which is the network utilized by the Vyvx Ads Business. This ratio was then applied against the cost (depreciation) of WilTel’s owned network assets. The 2006 charge was based on a pre-existing agreement between the Ads Business and WilTel based on deemed market rates for utilization of WilTel’s network by the Ads Business. This agreement ended December 31, 2006 and Level 3 did not bill the Vyvx Ads Business for its use of the WilTel network during 2007. Actual third party network costs related to the Vyvx Ads Business’ use of the WilTel network are also included in cost of revenue in 2007 and 2006.

 

Level 3 and the Ads Business consider the allocated cost for corporate services, employee benefit and incentives, and use of Level 3’s terrestrial network to be reasonable based on the utilization of services provided by Level 3. Level 3 believes that it is possible the allocated costs for the services provided to the Ads Business may differ from those that would result from transactions among third parties.

 

Level 3 primarily uses a centralized approach to cash management and financing of its operations with all related activity between the Ads Business and Level 3 reflected in invested capital in the Ads Business’ balance sheets. The types of transactions between the Ads Business and Level 3 include 1) cash deposits from the Ads Business’ which are transferred to Level 3’s bank account on a regular basis, 2) cash borrowings from Level 3 to fund operations, capital expenditures or acquisitions of the Ads Business and 3) allocation of Level 3 corporate services, employee benefits and other incentives and use of Level 3’s terrestrial network described above.

 

As part of Level 3, the Ads Business was dependent upon Level 3 for all of its working capital and financing requirements. Net distributions to Level 3 are reflected on the balance sheets, within invested capital. Accordingly, none of the Level 3 cash and cash equivalents or debt at the corporate level has been assigned to the Ads Business in the accompanying financial statements. Additionally, certain liabilities for workers’ compensation accruals, payroll tax accruals, insurance costs, certain employee benefit obligations (including related asset amounts) and non-income related taxes (including related amounts receivable) which are funded from working capital, are included in invested capital in the balance sheets. Expenses associated with such liabilities are included in the Ads Business statements of operations.

 

9.             Unaudited Interim Financial Information

 

The accompanying unaudited interim balance sheet as of March 31, 2008, and the related (i) statements of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, and (ii) statements of changes in business capital for the three months ended March 31, 2008, have been prepared to reflect the historical financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Ads Business, including the push down of the purchase price of the Ads Business when it was acquired by Level 3 in December 2005, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The carve-out financial statements have been prepared on a basis that management believes to be reasonable to reflect the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Ads Business operations, including portions of Level 3’s corporate costs and administrative shared services.

 

Management believes the assumptions and allocations underlying the accompanying financial statements are reasonable and appropriate under the circumstances. However, the amounts recorded for these transactions and allocations are not necessarily representative of the amounts that would have been reflected in the financial statements had the Ads Business been an entity that operated independently of Level 3. Consequently, future results of operations after the Ads Business separation from Level 3 will include costs and expenses for the Ads Business to operate as an independent company or as part of a company with a different operations structure than Level 3, and these costs and expenses may be materially different from Ads Business historical results of operations, financial position and cash flows. Accordingly, the financial statements for the periods presented are not indicative of the

Ads Business future results of operations, financial position and cash flows. See Note 8 for additional discussion of such intercompany allocations.

COMBINED COMPANY UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

On June 5, 2008, DG FastChannel, Inc. completed the acquisition of the Vyvx advertising services business, including its distribution, post-production and related operations, from Level 3 Communications, Inc. The acquisition was completed pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement among the Company, WilTel Communications, LLC, Level 3 Communications, LLC and Vyvx, LLC for a purchase price of approximately $129 million in cash, subject to certain working capital and certain other post-closing price adjustments. The Company received financing for the acquisition from BMO Capital Markets for a six–year, $145 million senior credit facility and a two-year, $65 million senior unsecured bridge loan to fund the Vyvx advertising services business transaction and to refinance the Company’s existing $85 million senior credit facility.

 

In addition, On May 7, 2008, DG FastChannel entered into a definitive agreement with Enliven Marketing Technologies Corporation (“Enliven”) to acquire all outstanding shares of Enliven in a stock-for-stock transaction. Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, a wholly-owned subsidiary of DG FastChannel will merge into Enliven. In the merger, each outstanding share of Enliven common stock will be converted into 0.051 shares of DG FastChannel common stock. In the aggregate, DG FastChannel expects to issue approximately 4.5 million shares of DG FastChannel common stock (exclusive of shares already owned by DG FastChannel) in the transaction with the equity valued at approximately $83.3 million. Upon consummation of the merger, DG FastChannel will have approximately 22.5 million shares of common stock outstanding, with current DG FastChannel shareholders owning approximately 80.0%, and current Enliven shareholders owning approximately 20.0% of the combined enterprise. DG FastChannel will assume Enliven’s outstanding debt. The merger agreement is subject to customary representations and warranties, pre-closing covenants and conditions to closing.

 

Under the terms of the merger agreement, the holders of Enliven common stock will receive 0.051 of a share of DG FastChannel common stock for each share of Enliven common stock, and as a result, after the merger, holders of Enliven common stock immediately prior to the merger (other than DG FastChannel and its affiliates) will own approximately 20% of the combined company and the holders of DG FastChannel common stock immediately prior to the merger will collectively own approximately 80% of the combined company.

 

DG FastChannel will be the parent of Enliven and the Vyvx advertising services business, and will be the surviving registrant following the acquisition. On the date of the acquisition, the assets and liabilities of the both acquired businesses will be recorded at their estimated fair values.

 

The combined company unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements give effect to the acquisitions of Enliven and the Vyvx advertising services business as if the transactions had occurred on March 31, 2008 for purposes of the combined company unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet, and on January 1, 2007 for purposes of the combined company unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of income for the year ended December 31, 2007, and the three months ended March 31, 2008. The combined company unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet and statements of income do not purport to represent what the financial position or results of operations actually would have been if the acquisitions had occurred as of such dates, or what such results will be for any future periods.

 

The combined company unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are derived from the historical financial statements of DG FastChannel, Enliven, and the Vyvx advertising services business and the assumptions and adjustments described in the accompanying notes. The pro forma adjustments are based on preliminary estimates and assumptions that DG FastChannel believes are reasonable under the circumstances. Transactions between DG FastChannel, Enliven, and the Vyvx advertising services business were not material for all periods presented. The preliminary allocation of the estimated purchase price to the assets and liabilities of the acquired businesses reflects the assumption that assets and liabilities are carried at historical amounts which approximate fair values except for certain purchased intangible assets which have been included at their estimated fair values. A thorough valuation of the purchased intangibles has not been performed. The value of the purchased intangibles included in the combined company unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are based on estimates. DG FastChannel determined these estimates by applying a ratio of intangibles-to-purchase price, based on other recently completed acquisitions. The actual allocation of the purchase price may differ materially from that reflected in the combined company unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial

statements after a more extensive review of the fair value of the assets and liabilities is completed. The combined company unaudited pro forma financial information should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto of DG FastChannel and Enliven (both included in their respective Forms 10-K filed with the SEC on March 17, 2008), and the Vyvx advertising services business contained herein. The combined company unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements do not reflect any cost savings, restructuring charges or other expected economic efficiencies.

Notes

(A)

As of March 31, 2008 Enliven had recorded a liability in the amount of $4,878 related to warrants issued to stockholders which were accounted for as derivative instruments. DG FastChannel, a holder of Enliven warrants also accounted for as derivative instruments, had recorded an asset in the amount of $1,222. Pro Forma Adjustment (1) above removes $1,222 of the derivative from the combined company’s balance sheet, as an inter-company elimination. The remaining $3,656 of liability is assumed to have no fair value after the completion of the transaction, as the underlying warrants in Enliven will be cancelled. Any warrants to be issued by DG FastChannel pursuant to the merger agreement are not expected to meet the definition of a derivative instrument.

 

 

(B)

DG FastChannel estimated the fair value of stock to be issued based on the average closing price of its stock during the period of May 6, 2008 through May 12, 2008, which is two days prior to and subsequent to the date the acquisition was announced, multiplied by the estimated shares to be issued of 4,505.

 

 

(C)

The fair value of tangible net assets acquired from Vyvx Ads and Enliven is based on their book value as of March 31, 2008, which DG FastChannel believes approximates their fair value (with the exception of the liability derivative which is estimated to have no fair value after the acquisition; see Note A above). The amount is calculated as follows: Total assets of Vyvx and Enliven, less Goodwill and Intangibles of both businesses, less deferred taxes of Vyvx Ads, less Total liabilities, plus $4,878, the book value of Enliven’s liability derivative instrument, the fair value of which is assumed to be zero.

Pro Forma Adjustments

 

(1)

 

Records additional amortization expense related to purchased intangibles of $83,834 ($50,528 for Vyvx Ads and $33,306 for Enliven) based on an assumed weighted-average seven year life. The actual useful life may be different after a more extensive valuation of the intangible assets is completed. For every $1 million change in intangible asset value, the corresponding impact to amortization expense would be $36 per quarter on a straight-line basis. If the estimated useful life is decreased or increased by 1 year, the corresponding quarterly increase or (decrease) to amortization expense would be approximately $500 or ($375), respectively.

 

 

 

(2)

 

Records additional interest expense as a result of $129 million of additional borrowings required to finance the Vyvx Ads acquisition. The interest rate assumed is 7%, which was DG FastChannel’s average borrowing rate for the period.

 

 

 

(3)

 

Eliminates changes in fair value of warrants issued by Enliven and accounted for as derivative instruments as discussed in Note (A) on the combined unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2008.

 

 

 

(4)

 

Eliminates Enliven’s historical commons shares outstanding and adds 4,505 common shares of DG FastChannel expected to be issued in exchange for Enliven shares.

 

 

 

(5)

 

Applies an estimated federal and state combined tax rate of 40% to the results of continuing operations for both businesses, and to the additional pro forma adjustments. No tax benefit of Enliven’s net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”) is assumed at this time. DG FastChannel will perform a detailed analysis to determine the value, if any, of Enliven’s NOLs after their limitation under Section 382 of the Code is determined. The tax benefits assumed in these combined company unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are derived from DG FastChannel’s NOLs which are unaffected by the Enliven transaction.
