‘‘Safe Harbor’’ Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995
Various statements contained in this document constitute ‘‘forward-looking statements’’ as that
term is defined under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Words like ‘‘believe,’’
‘‘anticipate,’’ ‘‘should,’’ ‘‘intend,’’ ‘‘plan,’’ ‘‘will,’’ ‘‘expects,’’ ‘‘estimates,’’ ‘‘projects,’’ ‘‘positioned,’’
‘‘strategy,’’ and similar expressions identify these forward-looking statements, which involve known and
unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or
achievements or industry results to be materially different from those contemplated, projected,
forecasted, estimated or budgeted, whether expressed or implied, by these forward-looking statements.
These factors, among others, include:
• the ability to compete with a range of other communications and content providers;
• the effect of technological changes on our businesses;
• the ability to maintain and upgrade our networks in a cost-effective and timely manner;
• possible losses of revenues or customers due to systems failures;
• the ability to control unauthorized access to our network;
• our reliance on third-party suppliers and contractors to provide necessary hardware, software or
operational support;
• the continued right to use the Virgin name and logo;
• the ability to manage customer churn;
• general economic conditions;
• the ability to provide attractive programming at a reasonable cost;
• the ability to implement our restructuring plan successfully and realize the anticipated benefits;
• currency and interest rate fluctuations;
• the ability to fund debt service obligations and refinance our debt obligations;
• the ability to obtain additional financing in the future; and
• the ability to comply with restrictive covenants in our indebtedness agreements.
These and other factors are discussed in more detail under ‘‘Risk Factors’’ and elsewhere in this
annual report on Form 10-K. We assume no obligation to update our forward-looking statements to
reflect actual results, changes in assumptions or changes in factors affecting these statements.
