• acquisitions, business combinations, strategic partnerships, divestitures and other significant transactions
may involve additional uncertainties;
• terrorist attacks, the possibility of war or other hostilities, and changes in political and economic conditions
as a result of these events may continue to affect the U.S. and the global economy and may increase other
risks;
• we are periodically evaluating and testing our internal controls over financial reporting in order to satisfy
the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Although our management concluded that our
internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2004, if in the future we are
unable to report that our internal controls over financial reporting are effective (or if our auditors do not
agree with our assessment of the effectiveness of, or are unable to express an opinion on, our internal
controls over financial reporting), we could lose investor confidence in our financial reports, which could
have a material adverse effect on our stock price and our business; and
• we may face other risks described from time to time in periodic and current reports we file with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
All cautionary statements made herein should be read as being applicable to all forward-looking statements
wherever they appear. In this connection, investors should consider the risks described herein and should not place
undue reliance on any forward-looking statements.
We assume no responsibility for updating forward-looking information contained or incorporated by reference
herein or in other reports we file with the SEC.
In this document, the words “we,” “our” and “us” refer to EchoStar Communications Corporation and its
subsidiaries, unless the context otherwise requires. “EDBS” refers to EchoStar DBS Corporation and its
subsidiaries.
