Caution Concerning Forward-Looking Statements
This presentation contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In some cases, you can
identify those so-called "forward-looking statements" by words such as"may,"
"will," "should," "expects," "plans," "anticipates," "believes," "estimates,"
"predicts," "potential," or "continue," or the negative of those words and
other comparable words. Comcast Corporation ("Comcast") wishes to take
advantage of the"safe harbor" provided for by the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995 and you are cautioned that actual events or results may
differ materially from the expectations expressed in such forward-looking
statements as a result of various factors, including risks and uncertainties,
many of which are beyond the control of Comcast. Factors that could cause
actual results to differ materially include, but are not limited to (1) the
effects of legislative and regulatory changes; (2) the potential for increased
competition; (3) technological changes; (4) the need to generate substantial
growth in the subscriber base by successfully launching, marketing and
providing services in identified markets; (5) pricing pressures which could
affect demand for Comcast's services; (6) Comcast's ability to expand its
distribution; (7) changes in labor, programming, equipment and capital costs;

that customers will find attractive; (9) future acquisitions, strategic
partnerships and divestitures; (10) general business and economic conditions;
(11) other risks described from time to time in Comcast's periodic reports
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission; and (12) with respect to
statements relating to the proposed combination of Comcast and AT&T Broadband,
factors that could cause actual results of the combined businesses of Comcast
and AT&T Broadband to differ materially from expected results for such
businesses, including failure to integrate the businesses successfully or to
achieve the expected combination benefits.
