Section 2 - Financial Information

 

Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition

Beginning in the second quarter of 2007, Cincinnati Bell Inc. (the “Company”) realigned its reportable business segments to be consistent with changes to its management structure and reporting. The Company now has three segments: Wireline, Wireless and Technology Solutions. The Wireline segment combines the operations of Cincinnati Bell Telephone LLC and Cincinnati Bell Extended Territories LLC, which were formerly included in the Local segment, and the operations of Cincinnati Bell Any Distance, Cincinnati Bell Complete Protection, the Company’s payphone business and Cincinnati Bell Entertainment, which were formerly included in the Other segment. The Broadband segment, which does not have any substantive on-going operations, has been eliminated. The remaining liabilities associated with the former broadband operations are now included in Corporate activities. The Wireless and Technology Solutions segments were not impacted by the segment realignment. The historical results for 2005, 2006 and 2007 through June 30, 2007, reflecting the new segment reporting, are attached as Exhibit 99.1. These changes and reclassifications had no effect on the Company’s reported net income. The information contained in Exhibit 99.1 shall not be incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other document pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
