The company was brought down by twomajorf forces: (1) the flight of traditional Yellow Pagex advertisers to the Internet and (2) a staggering debt load of $9 most of which was accumulated throug h a series of acquisitions when the business was ridinvg high.
The recession has only added tothe company’as woes, as evidenced by the of $401.2 milliomn reported last month by R.H.

Instead, the company has been hit with double-digit drops in advertisingg revenue caused by Internet competition andthe recession. “o wish it would have turned out differently,” Swansob said. “No one could have put this into theifreconomic modeling.” None of R.H. Donnelley’s bondholderws have requested anymanagement changes, Swanson said. R.H.
