On March 17, 2006, Adelphia Communications Corporation (the “Company”) and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, with the Company, the “Debtors”) will file their eleventh omnibus claims objection (the “Claims Objection”) with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Bankruptcy Court”). Pursuant to the Claims Objection, the Debtors are seeking, among other things, to disallow and expunge, reduce and allow, and/or reclassify in excess of $400 million of claims asserted against the Debtors. The hearing on the Claims Objection is scheduled for April 25, 2006 before the Bankruptcy Court. As the claims reconciliation process continues, additional objections may be filed with the Bankruptcy Court.

This report will not be deemed an admission as to the materiality of any information in the report that is required to be disclosed solely by Regulation FD.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This report includes forward-looking statements. All statements regarding the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ and affiliates’ expected future financial position, results of operations, cash flows, sale of the Company, settlements with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York (the “U.S. Attorney”), restructuring and financing plans, expected emergence from bankruptcy, business strategy, budgets, projected costs, capital expenditures, network upgrades, products and services, competitive positions, growth opportunities, plans and objectives of management for future operations, as well as statements that include words such as “anticipate,” “if,” “believe,” “plan,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “could,” “should,” “will,” and other similar expressions are forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are inherently uncertain, and readers must recognize that actual results may differ materially from the Company’s expectations. The Company does not undertake a duty to update such forward-looking statements. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include whether the proposed sale of the Company’s assets to Time Warner NY Cable LLC and Comcast Corporation is approved and consummated, whether the transactions contemplated by the proposed settlements with the SEC and the U.S. Attorney and any other agreements needed to effect those transactions are consummated, the Company’s pending bankruptcy proceeding, results of litigation against the Company, results and impacts of the proposed sale of the Company’s assets, the effects of government regulation including the actions of local cable franchising authorities, the availability of financing, actions of the Company’s competitors, pricing and availability of programming, equipment, supplies and other inputs, the Company’s ability to upgrade its broadband network, technological developments, changes in general economic conditions, and those discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004. Many of these factors are outside of the Company’s control.
