CAUTIONARY
STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS:
This
release includes
forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), regarding,
among other things, our plans, strategies and prospects, both business
and
financial. The Company will not undertake to revise forward-looking projections
to reflect events after this date. 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. 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,” 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 reports or documents that we file from time to time with the
SEC, and
include, but are not limited to:
| · |
the
availability, in general, of funds to meet interest payment obligations
under our debt and to fund our operations and necessary capital
expenditures, either through cash flows from operating activities,
further
borrowings or other sources and, in particular, our ability to
be able to
provide under applicable debt instruments such funds (by dividend,
investment or otherwise) to the applicable obligor of such
debt;
|
| · |
our
ability to comply with all covenants in our indentures and credit
facilities, any violation of which would result in a violation
of the
applicable facility or indenture and could trigger a default of
other
obligations under cross-default
provisions;
|
| · |
our
ability to pay or refinance debt prior to or when it becomes due
and/or to
take advantage of market opportunities and market windows to refinance
that debt through new issuances, exchange offers or otherwise,
including
restructuring our balance sheet and leverage
position;
|
| · |
our
ability to sustain and grow revenues and cash flows from operating
activities by offering video, high-speed Internet, telephone and
other
services and to maintain and grow a stable customer base, particularly
in
the face of increasingly aggressive competition from other service
providers;
|
| · |
our
ability to obtain programming at reasonable prices or to pass programming
cost increases on to our customers;
|
| · |
general
business conditions, economic uncertainty or slowdown;
and
|
| · |
the
effects of governmental regulation, including but not limited to
local
franchise authorities, on our business.
|
All
forward-looking statements attributable to us or any person acting on our
behalf
are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement.
We are
under no duty or obligation to update any of the forward-looking statements
after the date of this release.
