Risks Regarding Forward Looking Statements

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements made by us or on our behalf. Except for the historical information, this report contains various forward-looking statements which represent our expectations or beliefs concerning future events, including the future levels of cash flow from operations. Management believes all statements expressing expectations and projections with respect to future matters, including our ability to negotiate contracts having more favorable terms and the availability of capital resources, are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act. We caution that these forward-looking statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties and are subject to many variables which could impact our financial performance. These statements are made on the basis of management’s views and assumptions, as of the time the statements are made, regarding future events and business performance. There can be no assurance, however, that management’s expectations will necessarily come to pass. We do not intend to update any forward-looking statements.

A wide range of factors could materially affect future developments and performance, including:

 

   

the consummation of the merger between Clear Channel Communications and private equity funds sponsored by Bain Capital LLC and Thomas H. Lee Partners L.P., or any deterioration in the financial condition of Clear Channel Communications, could adversely affect our access to the credit markets and increase our borrowing costs;

   

the impact of general economic and political conditions in the United States and in other countries in which we currently do business, including those resulting from recessions, political events and acts or threats of terrorism or military conflicts;

   

the impact of the geopolitical environment;

   

our ability to integrate the operations of recently acquired companies;

   

shifts in population and other demographics;

   

industry conditions, including competition;

   

fluctuations in operating costs;

   

technological changes and innovations;

   

changes in labor conditions;

   

fluctuations in exchange rates and currency values;

   

capital expenditure requirements;

   

the outcome of pending and future litigation settlements;

   

legislative or regulatory requirements;

   

interest rates;

   

the effect of leverage on our financial position and earnings;

   

taxes;

   

access to capital markets; and

   

certain other factors set forth in our SEC filings, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.
