These factors, among others, include:
• the ability to compete with a range of other communications and content providers;
• the ability to manage customer churn;
• the continued right to use the Virgin name and logo;
• the ability to maintain and upgrade our networks in a cost-effective and timely manner;
• possible losses in revenues due to systems failures;
• the ability to provide attractive programming at a reasonable cost;
• the ability to control unauthorized access to our network;
• the effect of technological changes on our businesses;
• the reliance on single-source suppliers for some equipment, software and services and third party
distributors of our mobile services;
• the ability to achieve our business plans;
• the ability to fund debt service obligations through operating cash flow;
• the ability to obtain additional financing in the future and react to competitive and technological
changes;

These and other factors are discussed in more detail under ‘‘Risk Factors’’ and elsewhere in this

changes in assumptions or changes in factors affecting these statements.
