Although we believe that our plans, intentions and expectations reflected in or suggested by these forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot assure you that we will achieve or realize these plans, intentions or expectations. Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions including, without limitation, the factors described under "Risk Factors" from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Many of the forward-looking statements contained in this release may be identified by the use of forward-looking words such as "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "should," "planned," "will," "may," "intend," "estimated," "aim," "on track," "target," "opportunity," "tentative," "positioning" and "potential," among others. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements we make in this release are set forth in other reports or documents that we file from time to time with the SEC, and include, but are not limited to:

-- our ability to sustain and grow revenues and free cash flow by offering
video, Internet, telephone, advertising and other services to
residential and commercial customers, to adequately meet the customer
experience demands in our markets and to maintain and grow our customer
base, particularly in the face of increasingly aggressive competition,
the need for innovation and the related capital expenditures and the
difficult economic conditions in the United States;
-- the impact of competition from other market participants, including but
not limited to incumbent telephone companies, direct broadcast satellite
operators, wireless broadband and telephone providers, and digital
subscriber line ("DSL") providers and competition from video provided
over the Internet;
-- general business conditions, economic uncertainty or downturn, high
unemployment levels and the level of activity in the housing sector;

obligations, prior to or when they become due, and to fund our
operations and necessary capital expenditures, either through (i) cash

markets; and
-- our ability to comply with all covenants in our indentures and credit
facilities, any violation of which, if not cured in a timely manner,
could trigger a default of our other obligations under cross-default
provisions.
