Notes to Condensed Financial Statements

March 31, 2010

Note 1: Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Operations

Cyrus Networks, LLC (the Company) is a wholly owned subsidiary of Cy-One Parent LLC (the Parent Company) and is a Delaware limited liability company. The Parent Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Cy-One Holdings LLC (Holdings), is a Delaware limited liability company and a guarantor for the Company’s debt.

The Company earns revenues predominately from providing information technology infrastructure and colocation services for businesses in Houston, Dallas and Austin, Texas, and surrounding areas.

Basis of Presentation

The Condensed Financial Statements of the Company have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations, financial position and cash flows for each period presented. The Company has evaluated subsequent events through May 20, 2010.

The adjustments referred to above are of a normal and recurring nature. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to SEC rules and regulations.

These Condensed Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s 2009 audited financial statements. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2010, are not necessarily indicative of the results expected in subsequent quarters or for the year ending December 31, 2010.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In September 2009, new accounting guidance under ASC 605 related to revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables was issued. The guidance addresses the unit of accounting for arrangements involving multiple deliverables, how arrangement consideration should be allocated to the separate units of accounting and eliminates the criterion that objective and reliable evidence of fair value of any undelivered items must exist for the delivered item to be considered a separate unit of accounting. Such guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has not yet assessed the impact of this guidance on the Company’s financial statements.

In September 2009, new accounting guidance under ASC 605 was issued regarding tangible products containing both software and non-software components that function together to deliver the product’s essential functionality. Such guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has not yet assessed the impact of this guidance on the Company’s financial statements.

Note 3: Revolving Loan

The Company has a $25,000,000 revolving line of credit expiring in 2014, the available portion of which is determined partially based on the amount of other debt outstanding, as well as a multiple of the previously reported last three months’ earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (as defined under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement). At March 31, 2010, there was no amount borrowed against this line of credit. Any outstanding balance shall be due and payable in full if a change in control occurs. In addition, certain principal payments are required if the Company sells property, incurs allowed mortgage debt or achieves excess cash flow (as defined under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement). The line of credit is collateralized by a first lien on substantially all the assets of the Company. The Company has the option to pay interest based on either the prime rate or LIBOR, plus a margin determined by the Company’s total leverage ratio for the previously reported quarter.

At March 31, 2010, the Company had $29,059,340 of total long-term obligations relating to certain leases, all of which are recorded as long term on the balance sheet. For the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company recorded $607,727 and $302,209, respectively, of interest expense related to other long-term obligations.

Note 6: Operating Leases

Noncancellable operating leases for operational facilities, offices and equipment expire in various years through 2012. The facility leases typically contain renewal options for additional five-year terms and require the Company to pay its proportional share of all executory costs (property taxes, maintenance and insurance). In addition, the Company has a noncancellable ground lease for one of its buildings in Houston. This lease expires in 2066.

On March 3, 2010, the Company entered into a lease amendment for its Lewisville facility. The lease amendment expands the amount of space leased by 27,758 square feet, commences on March 3, 2010, and has an initial term of 13 years and six months with two five-year renewal options. In addition, the lease amendment extended the term on approximately 60,000 square feet of previously leased space at the same location by approximately four years.

Note 7: Unit Incentive Plan

Under the Holdings’ Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement dated July 3, 2007, Holdings is authorized to issue an unlimited number of Class C units. These shares are used as incentives for executive management and other employees as part of the Company’s overall compensation plan. The vesting of the Class C units differs by individual; but in all cases, one fifth of the units vest in each of the five years following the grant date.

In the event of termination of employment, all non-vested units automatically revert to, and become, the property of Holdings. If the employee is an executive and is terminated for cause or resigns voluntarily when Holdings can demonstrate cause existed, the vested units will be purchased from the employee for an aggregate purchase price of $1. For all other cases where the executive employee resigns voluntarily, Holdings may elect to purchase all or any portion of the vested units at fair market value, as defined in the Incentive Share Agreements. For employees other than executives receiving the Class C shares, all vested and non-vested shares forfeit back to Holdings upon termination of employment.

The following table summarizes unit incentive share activity for the three months ended March 31, 2010:

   14,074,014

   7,304,763
    

The Company recognized compensation expense of $420,631 related to Class C units for the three months ended March 31, 2010. There was no compensation expense related to the Class C units recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2009, as the amount was considered immaterial to the financial statements due to the insignificant value of the Class C units at the date of grant. As of March 31, 2010, there was $428,661 of unrecognized compensation expense related to the Class C units, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately two years. At March 31, 2010, the aggregate intrinsic value of these Class C units was approximately $39,407,239.

For Class C units issued in the first quarter of 2010, the weighted-average fair value at the dates of grant were estimated at $2.80 per unit using the payment expected to be received for each Class C unit based on the purchase price stated in the Letter of Intent signed in March 2010 and definitive agreement signed in May 2010 between the Company and Cincinnati Bell Inc. and Cincinnati Bell Technology Solutions Inc. (see Note 9).

Note 8: Disclosures About Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities

The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments does not materially differ from their estimated fair values as of March 31, 2010.

Note 9: Subsequent Event

On May 12, 2010, the Company entered into an Equity Purchase Agreement (the Purchase Agreement) pursuant to which Cincinnati Bell Inc. and Cincinnati Bell Technology Solutions Inc. (the Buyer) will acquire the equity interests of the Company for $525,000,000 in cash, less any indebtedness and transaction fees and other amounts, and subject to customary working capital and capital expenditure adjustment, as provided in the Purchase Agreement.

The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, indemnities and covenants, including certain customary operating restrictions on the conduct of the business of the Company during the period from the execution of the Purchase Agreement to the closing of the acquisition. The Purchase Agreement requires that the Buyer use commercially reasonable efforts to arrange the Financing (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) and, if the Financing becomes unavailable, to arrange alternative financing on terms no less favorable to the Buyer. The Company is required to cooperate with the Buyer in connection with the arrangement of the Financing.

Each party’s obligation to consummate the acquisition is conditioned upon the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period (and any extension thereof) under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 and other customary closing conditions, as described in the Purchase Agreement. The obligation of the Buyer to consummate the acquisition at the closing is not conditioned upon the availability of financing. The Company expects the closing of the acquisition to occur by the end of the second quarter of 2010.

The Purchase Agreement also reflects that the Buyer has entered into new employment agreements with four executive officers of the Company, which provide they will remain in their roles as executive officers of the Company after the closing of the acquisition.

The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Purchase Agreement.
