AT&T CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
1.Basis of Presentation
      The consolidated financial statements have been prepared by AT&T Corp. (AT&T) pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature necessary for a fair statement of the consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows for each period presented. The consolidated results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. These financial results should be read in conjunction with AT&T’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2005, and Form 10-K/ A for the year ended December 31, 2004.
2.Merger Agreement Withwith SBC Communications Inc.
      On January 31, 2005, AT&T and SBC Communications Inc. (SBC) announced an agreement for SBC to acquire AT&T. Under the terms of the agreement, each AT&T share will be exchanged for 0.77942 of a share of SBC common stock. In addition, at the time of closing, we will pay our shareowners a special dividend of $1.30 per share. At the time of the announcement, this consideration was valued at $19.71 per share, or approximately $16.0 billion. The stock consideration in the transaction is expected to be tax-free to our shareowners. The acquisition, which is subject to approval by our shareowners and regulatory authorities, and other customary closing conditions, is expected to close in late 2005 or early 2006. However, it is possible that factors outside of our control could require us to complete the merger at a later time or not to complete it at all. While the merger agreement prohibits us from soliciting competing acquisition proposals, we may accept a superior proposal prior to the effective date of the merger, subject to compliance with the terms of the merger agreement and payment of a $560 million termination fee and all documented out-of-pocket fees incurred by SBC, up to $40 million. The terms of certain of our agreements, including contracts, employee benefit arrangements and debt instruments, have provisions which could result in changes to the terms or settlement amounts of these agreements upon a change in control of AT&T. On June 30, 2005, AT&T shareholders voted to approve the proposed merger agreement with SBC.
3.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
      We have a Long Term Incentive Program under which stock options, performance shares, restricted stock and other awards in common stock are granted, as well as an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP). Employee purchases of company stock under the ESPP were suspended in 2003. Effective January 1, 2003, we adopted the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” and we began to record stock-based compensation expense for all employee awards (including stock options) granted or modified after January 1, 2003. For awards issued prior to January 1, 2003, we apply Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations in accounting for our plans. Under APB Opinion No. 25, no compensation expense has been recognized for stock options, other than for certain occasions when we have modified the terms of the stock option vesting schedule.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) — (Continued)
      If we had elected to recognize compensation costs based on the fair value at the date of grant of all awards granted prior to January 1, 2003, consistent with the provisions of SFAS No. 123, net income and earnings per share amounts would have been as follows:

      Pro forma stock-based compensation expense reflected above may not be indicative of future compensation expense that may be recorded. Future compensation expense may differ due to various factors, such as the number of awards granted and the market value of such awards at the time of grant, as well as the planned adoption of SFAS 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment,” beginning in the first quarter of 2006 (see note 11)12).

      Amortization expense associated with purchased intangible assets for the first quarter ofthree and six months ended June 30, 2005, was $26 million and $53 million, respectively. Amortization expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, was $27$28 million and $33$61 million, respectively. Amortization expense for purchased intangible assets is estimated to be approximately $110 million for each of the years ending December 31, 2005 and 2006 and $80 million for each of the years ending December 31, 2007 and 2008, at which time the purchased intangible assets will be fully amortized.

Assets Held-for-Sale:sold:
      In the first quarter ofMay 2005, we entered into an agreement to sell our payphone business, which is partcompleted the sale of the AT&T Business Services segment. As a result of this agreement, we reclassified the assets and liabilities related to this business as held-for-sale at fair market value, in accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” The assets and liabilities that were reclassified consisted of $43 million of goodwill, $28 million of net accounts receivable, $12 million of property, plant and equipment, $7 million of prepaid expenses and $2 million of current liabilities. The goodwill was determined based on the relative fair value of the payphone business to that of AT&T Business Services. We recorded a $9 million charge within other income (expense), net to write down the assets to fair market value. It is currently expected that this sale will close by the end of the second quarter of 2005. Also reclassified to assets held-for-sale was $81 million related to an administrative building which we actively marketed in the first quarterwas classified as an asset held-for-sale as of 2005 and entered into an agreement to sell in AprilMarch 31, 2005. It is anticipated that we will record a gain on the sale of the building of approximately $40 million. Since we will beare leasing back a portion of the building, back from the buyer,majority of the approximately $40 million gain was deferred, with $6 million recorded within other (expense) income, net, upon closing. In addition, in June 2005, we completed the sale of the gain is expected to be recognizedour payphone business which was also classified as an asset held-for-sale at the time of sale (within the Corporate and Other group), which is currently anticipated to occur in the second quarter ofMarch 31, 2005. The remaining gain will be deferredsale resulted in a loss of $14 million and amortized over the lease period (up to 5 years). The reclassification of the assets and liabilities discussed above to held-for-sale (included inwas recorded within other current assets and other current liabilities, respectively) represented non-cash activity for the first quarter of 2005.(expense) income, net.

5.Earnings Per Common Share and Potential Common Share
      Basic earnings per common share (EPS) is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution (considering the combined income and share impact) that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. The potential issuance of common stock is assumed to occur at the beginning of the year (or at the time of issuance if later), and the incremental shares are included using the treasury stock method. The proceeds utilized in applying the treasury stock method consist of the amount, if any, to be paid upon exercise, the amount of compensation cost attributed to future service not yet recognized, and any tax benefits credited to paid-in-capital related to the exercise. These proceeds are then

assumed to be used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. The incremental shares (difference between the shares assumed to be issued and the shares assumed to be purchased), to the extent they would have been dilutive, are included in the denominator of the diluted EPS calculation. Potentially dilutive securities for all periods presented were stock options, restricted stock units and performance shares. No adjustments were made to income for the computation of diluted EPS.
6.Asset Impairment and Net Restructuring and Other Charges
      Asset impairment and net restructuring and other charges of $36 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, consisted of $45 million of facility closing reserves and a related $5 million asset impairment charge in connection with leasehold improvements in these facilities. These activities were partially offset by the net reversal of $14 million of excess preexisting business restructuring liabilities.

AT&T CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) — (Continued)
      The $45 million of facility closing reserves were associated with the continued consolidation of our real estate portfolio and reflected the present value of contractual lease obligations, net of estimated sublease income, associated with vacant facilities primarily resulting from workforce reductions. Facility closing charges of $43 million were recorded in the Corporate and Other group and $2 million in AT&T Business Services. Additionally, the Corporate and Other group and AT&T Business Services recorded $2 million and $3 million, respectively, of leasehold improvement impairment charges.
      During the second quarter, management reevaluated preexisting business restructuring reserves and determined the actual or revised estimates of separation and related benefit payments differed from the estimates initially made, resulting in a net reversal of $14 million. AT&T Business Services recorded $23 million of the reversal and the Corporate and Other group recorded $1 million. AT&T Consumer Services recorded an additional $10 million as a result of this review. The adjustment to these reserves did not result from changes to the actual or planned headcount separations.

      Deductions primarily reflected total cash payments of $151$270 million. These cash payments includeincluded cash termination benefits of $134$234 million and $17$36 million of facility closing reserve payments, which were funded primarily through cash from operations.
      Asset impairment and net restructuring and other charges of $213$54 million infor the first quarterthree months ended June 30, 2004, consisted primarily of business restructuring activities associated with employee separations related to AT&T Business Services. This activity resulted from the continued integration and automation of various functions within network operations, as well as reorganizations throughout our non-U.S. operations. This exit plan impacted approximately 625 employees (more than half of which were involuntary), approximately 35% of whom were managers.
      Asset impairment and net restructuring and other charges of $267 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004, were comprised of business restructuring obligations of $145 million, primarily related to AT&T Business Services and real estate impairment charges of $121$122 million included in the Corporate and Other group andgroup.
      The business restructuring obligations of $92 million, of which $91 million related to AT&T Business Services and $1 million related to AT&T Consumer Services. The real estate impairment charges resulted from the decision made during the first quarter of 2004 to divest five owned properties in an effort to further reduce costs and consolidate our real estate portfolio. The impairment charges were recorded to reduce the book value of the five properties to fair market value, based on third party assessments (including broker appraisals). The sales of the properties were completed in 2004. The $92 million related to business restructuring activities consisted of $52$104 million of separation costs and $40$41 million of facility closing obligations associated with the consolidationobligations. The separations, of our real estate portfolio. The separationswhich slightly less than half were managers, were primarily involuntary and impacted approximately 780 employees.1,405 employees as a result of integration and automation of various functions within network operations, as well as reorganizations throughout our non-U.S. operations. The facility closing reserves were primarily associated with the consolidation of our real estate portfolio and reflected the present value of contractual lease obligations, net of estimated sublease income, associated with vacant facilities resulting from workforce reductions and network equipment space that will not be used.

Approximately 70%80% of headcount reductions associated with all of our 2004 exit plans were completed as of MarchJune 30, 2005. As of June 30, 2005, we had approximately 41,500 employees, compared with approximately 47,600 employees at December 31, 2005.2004.
7.Debt Obligations
Securitizations
      In May 2005, we repaid $125 million of short-term borrowings outstanding under the AT&T Consumer Services accounts receivable securitization facility and subsequently terminated the facility.
Long-Term Debt
      In April 2005, we completed the early retirement of $1.25 billion of our outstanding 7.30% Notes maturing in November 2011, which carried an interest rate of 9.05% at the time of retirement. The notes were repurchased with cash and resulted in a loss of approximately $0.2 billion recorded in other (expense) income, net.
8.Financial Instruments
      In the normal course of business, we use various financial instruments, including derivative financial instruments, to manage our market risk associated with changes in interest rates and foreign exchange rates. We do not use financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The following information pertains to financial instruments with significant activity since December 31, 2004.
Letters of Credit
      Letters of credit are guarantees we purchase, which ensure our performance or payment to third parties in accordance with specified terms and conditions. Management has determined that our letters of credit do not create additional risk to us. The notional amounts outstanding at March 31,June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004,

AT&T CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) — (Continued)
were $0.3 billion and $1.2 billion, respectively. The decrease in the notional amount of the letters of credit was primarily related to the maturity of debt in February 2005. In addition, restricted cash of $546 million, recorded within other current assets as of December 31, 2004, which collateralized these letters of credit, was released upon maturity of this debt.
Interest Rate Swap Agreements
      We enter into interest rate swap agreements to manage the fixed/floating mix of our debt portfolio in order to reduce aggregate risk of interest rate movements. These agreements involve the exchange of floating-rate for fixed-rate payments or the exchange of fixed-rate for floating-rate payments without the exchange of the underlying notional amount. Floating-rate payments and receipts are primarily tied to the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (LIBOR). During the first quarter of 2005, all of our floating-rate to fixed-rate swaps (notional amount of $108 million), designated as cash flow hedges, matured.
      In addition, we have combined interest rate foreign currencyinterest-rate foreign-currency swap agreements for foreign-currency-denominated debt, which hedge our risk to both interest rate and currency movements. As of March 31,June 30, 2005, the notional amount and fair value of these contracts werewas $0.6 billion and $0.3 billion, respectively, compared with $1.4 billion and $0.7 billion, respectively, at December 31, 2004. The decreases in the notional amount and fair value of these agreements were primarily related to the maturity in February 2005 of $0.7 billion notional amount of contracts relating to debt that also matured in February 2005.

Equity Option and Equity Swap Contracts
      We entered into equity options and equity swap contracts, which were undesignated, to manage our exposure to changes in equity prices associated with various equity awards of previously affiliated companies. During the first quarter of 2005, all of the previously outstanding equity awards and the related equity option and equity swap contracts expired.expired (notional amount of $29 million).
8.9.Pension, Postretirement and Other Employee Benefit Plans

9.10.Commitments and Contingencies
      In the normal course of business we are subject to proceedings, lawsuits and other claims, including proceedings under laws and regulations related to disputes with other carriers, environmental and other matters. Such matters are subject to many uncertainties, and outcomes are not predictable with assurance. Consequently, we are unable to ascertain the ultimate aggregate amount of monetary liability or financial impact with respect to these matters at March 31,June 30, 2005. However, if these matters are adversely settled, such amounts could be material to our consolidated financial statements.
      During the second quarter of 2005, we reached a settlement for $29 million, subject to final approval by the Court, of the class action claims brought by participants in our Long Term Savings Plan for Management Employees (the Plan). The lawsuit alleged we breached our fiduciary duties to the Plan and Plan participants by making materially false and misleading statements and omitting to state material facts concerning our future business prospects. A hearing for final approval is currently expected to occur in September 2005. The settlement of this lawsuit, did not have a material impact to the results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005.
In 2004, following ana Federal Communications Commission (FCC) ruling against a petition we filed in which we asked the FCC to decide the issue of whether certain phone-to-phone IPInternet protocol (IP) telephony services are exempt from paying access charges, SBC filed a lawsuit in federal district court in Missouri asserting claims that we avoided interstate and intrastate access charges. During the first quarter of 2005, AT&T and SBC settled a variety of claims and disputes between the parties, including this litigation. The settlement of all matters resulted in AT&T paying SBC approximately $60 million, which did not have a material impact on our results of operations. Recently, other carriers, including BellSouth Telecommunications, Inc (BellSouth) have filed similar lawsuits in various jurisdictions. These claims did not specify damages.
      During the second quarter of 2005, we settled and paid lawsuits brought by the trustee for the bondholders’ liquidating trust, as well as a preference claim brought by creditors of At Home Corporation (At Home). Under the terms of the settlement agreement, the bondholders were paid $340 million, in addition to AT&T and Comcast Corporation (Comcast) relinquishing claims held in reserve by the At Home estate. Under the terms of a separation agreement with our former broadband subsidiary, which was spun off to Comcast in 2002, the settlement was shared equally between the two parties. The settlement of this litigation did not have a material impact on our results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005.
      Class action lawsuits filed in California on behalf of At Home shareholders, which alleged AT&T breached fiduciary obligations, have been dismissed and are on appeal.

      In February 2005, the FCC ruled against AT&T and its petition for a declaratory ruling that our enhanced prepaid card services is an interstate information service. Following this decision, Qwest Communication International, Inc. (Qwest) filed a lawsuit against us asserting claims for breach of federal and state tariffs, unjust enrichment, fraudulent misrepresentation and breach of contract. Qwest seeks unspecified damages. Recently, other carriers, including BellSouth, have filed similar lawsuits in various jurisdictions, all seeking unspecified damages.

     Reflecting the dynamics of our business, we continually review our management model and structure, which may result in adjustments to our operating segments in the future.
11.12.New Accounting Pronouncements
      In June 2005, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position FSP FAS No. 143-1, “Accounting for Electronic Equipment Waste Obligations,” to address the accounting for obligations associated with the Directive on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (the Directive) issued by the European Union (EU). The Directive was enacted on February 13, 2003, and directs EU-member countries to adopt legislation to regulate the collection, treatment, recovery, and environmentally sound disposal of electrical and electronic waste equipment. The Directive concludes that commercial users are obligated to retire, in an environmentally sound manner, specific assets that qualify as historical waste. FAS 143-1 is effective for reporting periods ending after June 8, 2005, which is June 30, 2005 for us, or the date of adoption of the Directive by the applicable EU-member countries, if later. We have evaluated the impact to our operations in EU countries that have adopted legislation and have deemed these costs to be immaterial. We will continue to evaluate the impact as other EU-member countries enact legislation. However, if the remaining EU-member countries enact similar legislation, we do not expect a material impact to our results of operations.
      In March 2005, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation (FIN) No. 47, “Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations,” an interpretation of SFAS No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations.” FIN No. 47 clarifies that the termconditional asset retirement obligation, as used in SFAS No. 143, refers to a legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing and/or method of settlement are conditional on a future event that may or may not be within the control of the entity. The obligation to perform the asset retirement activity is unconditional even though uncertainty exists about the timing and/or method of settlement. FIN No. 47 requires an entity to recognize a liability for the fair value of the conditional asset retirement obligation if the fair value of the liability can be reasonably estimated. FIN No. 47 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005, which is December 31, 2005 for us; however, earlier application is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of FIN No. 47 on our results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
      In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment,” which requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. Additional guidance to assist in the initial interpretation of this revised statement was subsequently issued by the SEC in Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107. SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004) eliminates the alternative of using APB Opinion No. 25 intrinsic value method of accounting that was provided for in SFAS No. 123 as originally issued. Effective January 1, 2003, we adopted the fair value recognition provisions of original SFAS No. 123 on a prospective basis and we began to record stock-based compensation expense for all employee awards (including stock options) granted or modified after January 1, 2003.2003, using the nominal vesting approach. Had we used the non-substantive vesting method, which will be required upon adoption, our results of operations would not have been materially different from those reported in the first half of 2005 and 2004. Adoption of the revised standard will require that we begin to recognize expense for unvested awards issued prior to January 1, 2003. Additionally, this standard requires that

14


AT&T CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) — (Continued)
estimated forfeitures be considered in determining compensation expense. For equity awards other than stock options, we have not previously included estimated forfeitures in determining compensation expense. Accordingly, the difference between the expense we have recognized to date and the compensation expense as calculated considering estimated forfeitures will be reflected as a cumulative effect of accounting change upon adoption. Further, SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004) requires that excess tax benefits be recognized as an addition to paid-in capital and amends SFAS No. 95, “Statement of Cash Flows,” to require that the excess tax benefits be reported as a financing cash inflow rather than as a reduction of taxes paid. SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004) is effective for annual periods beginning after June 15, 2005, which is January 1, 2006 for us. We intend to elect a modified prospective adoption beginning in the first

quarter of 2006 and do not anticipate that the adoption of SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004) will have a material impact on our recorded compensation expense.results of operations.
      In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, “Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets — an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29.” APB Opinion No. 29 requires that nonmonetary exchanges of assets be recorded at fair value with an exception for exchanges of similar productive assets, which can be recorded on a carryover basis. SFAS No. 153 eliminates the current exception and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. A nonmonetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. SFAS No. 153 is effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges that take place in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005, which is July 1, 2005 for us; however, earlier application is permitted.
      In December 2004, the FASB issuedStaff Position FSP No. FAS 109-2, “Accounting and Disclosure Guidance for the Foreign Earnings Repatriation Provision within the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004,” which provides guidance on the accounting and disclosure requirements for the repatriation provision of the Act. The Act creates a one-time tax incentive for U.S. corporations to repatriate accumulated income earned abroad by providing a tax deduction of 85% of dividends received for certain foreign earnings that are repatriated. In an effort to assist taxpayers with the interpretation of the repatriation provision of the Act, in May 2005, the United States Department of Treasury issued detailed guidance on certain technical aspects that required clarification. The deduction is subject toremains dependent upon a number of requirements and clarification is needed on various aspects of the law before the impact can be determined. In addition, the amount of the deduction remainsis subject to potential local country restrictions on remittances, as well as to management’s decisions with respect to any repatriation. Based upon the current wordingnew guidance issued in second quarter of the law and assuming no technical corrections,2005, we are considering possible qualifying dividend remittances of approximately $100 million,$0.1 billion, which, after consideration of deferred taxes previously recordedprovided on foreign earnings, we estimate would result in a one-time income tax benefit in 2005 of approximately $5$10 million. We expect to complete our evaluation of the impact of the Act during 2005.
12.Subsequent Events
      During April 2005, we completed the early retirement of $1.25 billion of our outstanding 7.30% Notes maturing in November 2011, which carried an interest rate of 9.05% at the time of retirement. The notes were repurchased with cash and resulted in a loss of approximately $0.2 billion recorded in other income (expense), net.
      During May 2005, we settled litigation brought by the trustee for the bondholders’ liquidating trust of At Home Corporation for $340 million, subject to bankruptcy court approval. Under the terms of a separation agreement with our former broadband subsidiary, which was spun off to Comcast Corporation in 2002, the settlement will be shared equally between the two parties. The settlement of this litigation did not have a material impact on our results of operations.
      Also in May 2005, we repaid the $125 million of borrowings outstanding under the AT&T Consumer Services accounts receivable securitization facility and subsequently terminated this facility.

Forward-Looking Statements
      This document contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 with respect to financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, dividends, financing plans, business strategies, operating efficiencies, capital and other expenditures, competitive positions, availability of capital, growth opportunities for new and existing products, benefits from new technologies, availability and deployment of new technologies, plans and objectives of management, mergers and acquisitions, and other matters.
      Statements in this document that are not historical facts are hereby identified as “forward-looking statements” for the purpose of the safe harbor provided by Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The words “estimate,” “project,” “intend,” “expect,” “believe,” “plan,” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this document. Any Form 10-K, Annual Report to Shareholders, Form 10-Q or Form 8-K of AT&T Corp. may include forward-looking statements. In addition, other written or oral statements which constitute forward-looking statements have been made and may in the future be made by or on behalf of AT&T, including with respect to the matters referred to above. These forward-looking statements are necessarily estimates, reflecting the best judgment of senior management that rely on a number of assumptions concerning future events, many of which are outside of our control, and involve a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested by the forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements should, therefore, be considered in light of various important factors, including those set forth in this document. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from estimates or projections contained in the forward-looking statements include, without limitation:
 • the impact of existing, new and restructured competitors in the markets in which we compete, including competitors that may offer less expensive products and services, desirable or innovative products, technological substitutes, or have extensive resources or better financing,
 
 • the impact of oversupply of capacity resulting from excessive deployment of network capacity,
 
 • the ongoing global and domestic trend toward consolidation in the telecommunications industry, which may have the effect of making the competitors of these entities larger and better financed and afford these competitors with extensive resources and greater geographic reach, allowing them to compete more effectively,
 
 • the effects of vigorous competition in the markets in which we operate, which may decrease prices charged and change customer mix and profitability,
 
 • the ability to establish a significant market presence in new geographic and service markets,
 
 • the availability and cost of capital,
 
 • the impact of any unusual items resulting from ongoing evaluations of our business strategies,
 
 • the requirements imposed on us or latitude allowed to competitors by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) or state regulatory commissions under the Telecommunications Act or other applicable laws and regulations,
 
 • the invalidity of portions of the FCC’s Triennial Review Order,
 
 • the risks associated with technological requirements; wireless, internet,Internet, Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) or other technology substitution and changes; and other technological developments,

1618


 • the risks associated with the repurchase by us of debt or equity securities, which may adversely affect our liquidity or creditworthiness,
 
 • the uncertainties created by the proposed acquisition of our company by SBC Communications, Inc.,
 
 • the impact of the significant recent reductions in the number of our employees,
 
 • the results of litigation filed or to be filed against us, and
 
 • the possibility of one or more of the markets in which we compete being impacted by changes in political, economic or other factors, such as monetary policy, legal and regulatory changes, war or other external factors over which we have no control.
      The discussion and analysis that follows provides information management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of AT&T’s consolidated results of operations for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2005 and 2004, and financial condition as of March 31,June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004.

These decreases were primarily driven by a declinecontinued declines in stand-alone long distance voice revenue of approximately $0.9 billion. This decline was$0.7 billion in the second quarter of 2005 and $1.5 billion in the first half of 2005, compared with the same periods of 2004. These declines were reflective of increased competition, which has led to lower prices, and loss of market share in AT&T Consumer Services and small- and medium-sized business markets. In addition, stand-alone long distance revenue was negatively impacted by substitution. Total long distance voice volumes (including long distance volumes sold as part of a bundled product) decreased approximately 8%5% in the second quarter of 2005 and approximately 6% in the first quarterhalf of 2005, compared with the first quarterrespective periods of 2004, primarily due to declines in consumer and business retail volumes. Also contributing to the overall revenue decline in the first quarter of 2005 was lower data services revenue of $0.1$0.2 billion in the second quarter of 2005 and $0.3 billion in the six months ended June 30, 2005, compared with the respective periods of 2004, primarily driven by competitive pricing pressure.pressure and technology migration.

      Included withinaccess and other connection expensesare costs we pay to connect calls using the facilities of other service providers, as well as the Universal Service Fund contributions and per-line charges mandated by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). We pay domestic access charges to local exchange carriers to complete long distance calls carried across the AT&T network and originated or terminated on a local exchange carrier’s network. We also pay local connectivity charges for leasing components of local exchange carrier networks in order to provide local service to our customers. International connection charges paid to telephone companies outside of the United States to connect international calls are also included within access and other connection expenses. Universal Service Fund contributions are charged to all telecommunications carriers by the FCC based on a percentage of state-to-state and international services revenue to provide affordable services to eligible customers. In addition, the FCC assesses charges on a per-line basis. Since most of the Universal Service Fund contributions and per-line charges are passed through to the customer, a change in these rates generally results in a corresponding change in revenue.
      Access and other connection expenses decreased $0.2$0.1 billion, or 8.8%3.7%, in the second quarter of 2005 and $0.3 billion, or 6.3%, for the first quarterhalf of 2005, compared with the first quartersame periods of 2004. DomesticThese declines were primarily attributable to lower volumes relating to domestic access and local connectivity charges declinedof $0.1 billion and $0.2 billion for the firstsecond quarter of 2005 primarilyand the first half of 2005, respectively. In addition, the declines were due to lower average rates, including the impact of settlements, as well as changes in product and country mix relating to domestic access and international connection charges, totaling $0.1 billion.billion for the second quarter of 2005 and $0.2 billion for the year-to-date period. The decreased rates were due in part toreflect a greater proportion of calls that have non-access incurring terminations (such as when a call terminates over our own network or over a leased line), as well as fromthe impact of rate negotiations and more efficient network usage,usage. These declines were partially offset by higher access charges on prepaid card calls. Also contributing to the decline were lower costsan increase in Universal Service Fund contributions of $0.1 billion for the second quarter and the first half of 2005 due to lower overall volumes.higher assessable revenue.
     Costs of services and productsinclude the costs of operating and maintaining our networks, the provision for uncollectible receivables and other service-related costs, including cost of equipment sold.
      Costs of services and products decreased $0.2 billion, or 12.7%11.3%, in the second quarter of 2005 and $0.4 billion, or 12.0%, for the first quarterhalf of 2005, compared with the first quartersame periods of 2004. The decline wasThese declines were primarily driven by a lower provision for uncollectible receivables, resulting from improved collections and lower revenue. Also contributing to the decline was the overall impact of cost cutting initiatives, primarily headcount reductions, as well as lower revenue. Also contributing to the decline was a lower provision for uncollectible receivables resulting from improved collections and lower revenue.
Selling, general and administrative expensesdecreased $0.5 billion, or 26.9%, in the first quarter of 2005 compared with the first quarter of 2004. This decline was primarily attributable to lower marketing and customer acquisition spending of $0.3 billion as a result of our strategic decision in the third quarter of 2004 to shift our focus away from traditional consumer services. In addition, this decline reflects cost control efforts throughout AT&T, as well as lower costs resulting from decreased customer levels, totaling $0.2 billion. Cost control efforts included headcount reductions as well as continued process improvements.

     Selling, general and administrative expensesdecreased $0.4 billion, or 24.8%, in the second quarter of 2005, and $0.9 billion, or 25.8%, for the first half of 2005, compared with the same periods of 2004. These declines were primarily attributable to lower marketing and customer acquisition spending of $0.3 billion in the second quarter of 2005 and $0.5 billion for the first half of 2005, primarily as a result of our strategic decision in the third quarter of 2004 to shift our focus away from traditional consumer services. In addition, the declines reflect cost control efforts throughout AT&T, as well as lower costs resulting from decreased customer levels, totaling $0.2 billion and $0.5 billion for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively. Cost control efforts included headcount reductions, as well as continued process improvements. These declines were partially offset by increased costs relating to the pending merger with SBC of $0.1 billion for the second quarter and first half of 2005.

Additionally, the Corporate and Other group and AT&T Business Services recorded $2 million and $3 million, respectively, of leasehold improvement impairment charges.
      During the second quarter, management reevaluated preexisting business restructuring reserves and determined the actual or revised estimates of separation and related benefit payments differed from the estimates initially made, resulting in a net reversal of $14 million. AT&T Business Services recorded $23 million of the reversal and the Corporate and Other group recorded $1 million. AT&T Consumer Services recorded an additional $10 million as a result of this review. The adjustment to these reserves did not result from changes to the actual or planned headcount separations.
      Asset impairment and net restructuring and other charges of $54 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004, consisted primarily of business restructuring activities associated with employee separations related to AT&T Business Services. This activity resulted from the continued integration and automation of various functions within network operations, as well as reorganizations throughout our non-U.S. operations. This exit plan impacted approximately 625 employees (more than half of which were involuntary), approximately 35% of whom were managers.

The effective tax rate in the second quarter and first quarterhalf of 2005 was negatively impacted by costs associated with our pending merger with SBC. The effective tax rate in the second quarter of 2004 was negatively impacted by a catch-up effect resulting from an increase in the estimated annual 2004 effective tax rate, as a result of lower projected annual income before income taxes relative to our estimated permanent differences. The effective tax rate in the first quarterhalf of 2004 was positively impacted by 306.3513.7 percentage points due to the reversal of a portion of the valuation allowance we recorded in 2002 attributable to the book and tax basis difference related to our investment in AT&T Latin America. During February 2004, the subsidiaries of AT&T Latin America were sold to Telefonos de Mexico S.A. de C.V., or Telmex, and the AT&T Latin America plan of liquidation became effective. As a result, we no longer needed a portion of the valuation allowance and recorded an income tax benefit of $0.4 billion in the first quarter of 2004.
Segment Results
      Our results are segmented according to the customers we service: AT&T Business Services and AT&T Consumer Services. The balance of our operations is included in a Corporate and Other group. This group primarily reflects corporate staff functions and the elimination of transactions between segments. The discussion of segment results includes revenue, operating income, capital additions and total assets.
      Operating income is the primary measure used by our chief operating decision makers to measure our operating results and to measure segment profitability and performance. See note 1011 to our consolidated financial statements for a reconciliation of segment results to consolidated results.
      Total assets for each segment include all assets, except intercompany receivables. Nearly all prepaid pension assets, taxes and corporate-owned or leased real estate are held at the corporate level, and therefore are included in the Corporate and Other group. A substantial majority of our property, plant and equipment (including network assets) is included in the AT&T Business Services segment. Capital additions for each segment include capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment, additions to internal-use software and additions to nonconsolidated investments.
      We continually review our management model and structure, which may result in additional adjustments to our operating segments in the future.

As a result of the third quarter 2004 asset impairment charges, operating income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, included a $31$35 million benefitand $66 million, respectively, of benefits due to lower depreciation on assets impaired by AT&T Consumer Services, as well as lower network-related charges from AT&T Business Services. The increaseincreases in operating margin in the first quarter of 2005 waswere primarily due to a greater raterates of decline in selling, general and administrative expenses and costs of services and products in relation to revenue. The declinedeclines in selling, general and administrative expenses reflected reductions in sales and marketing expenses, primarily due to our strategic decision in the third quarter of 2004 to shift our focus away from traditional consumer services, as well as lower customer care expenses.services. Costs of services and products declined primarily due to reduced bad debt expenses as a result of improved collections and lower revenue. Also contributing to the increase in operating margin were targeted price increases during 2004 and 2005. These increases in operating margin were partially offset by a lower rate of decline in access and other connection expenses relative to revenue.

well as increased pension expenses in the first quarterprimarily as a result of 2005, primarily due to higher loss amortization and a lower expected rate of return resulting from a 25 basis point decrease in both the discount rate and the expected rate of return in 2005. Partially offsetting these increases to the loss were lower asset impairment and net restructuring and other charges in 2005 compared with 2004. In 2005, we recorded $44 million of asset impairment and net restructuring and other charges primarily related to the continued consolidation of our real estate portfolio. In 2004, we recorded $0.1 billion of real estate impairment charges to write-down held-for-sale facilities, all of which were sold during 2004.

Additionally, short-term and long-term compensation and benefit-related liabilities declined by $0.6 billion, primarily due to the payment of year-end bonus and salary accruals, employee separation payments and a contribution to the postretirement benefit trust, partially offset by higher pension and postretirement benefit accruals.
Total shareowners’ equityincreased $0.5 billion, or 6.5%, to $7.5 billion at June 30, 2005, compared with December 31, 2004. This increase was primarily due to net income for the period, partially offset by dividends declared.

assets increased due to the reclassification of assets (principally property, plant and equipment, goodwill and accounts receivable) to assets held-for-sale related to our payphone business and a building.
Total liabilitiesdecreased $1.5 billion, or 5.8%, to $24.3 billion at March 31, 2005, compared with December 31, 2004. The decrease in total liabilities was primarily due to lower debt balances of $1.2 billion, attributable to scheduled repayments of debt. Additionally, short-term and long-term compensation and benefit-related liabilities declined by $0.4 billion, primarily attributable to the payment of year-end bonus and salary accruals and employee separation reserves, partially offset by higher pension and postretirement benefit accruals. Partially offsetting these declines was an increase in other current liabilities of $0.3 billion, primarily due to higher income taxes payable, largely attributable to current year income, and an increase in interest payable due to the timing of interest payments.
Total shareowners’ equityincreased $0.4 billion, or 5.6%, to $7.4 billion at March 31, 2005, compared with December 31, 2004. This increase was primarily due to net income for the period, partially offset by dividends declared.

In addition, the year-over-year decrease reflects payments in the second quarter of 2005 for settlements of the At Home Corporation and AT&T shareholder lawsuits of $220 million net of amounts collected from Comcast (see note 10), as well as higher employee separation payments in 2005.

Reflected as an other financing item for the first quarter ofin 2004 was the receipt of approximately $0.4 billion for the settlement of a combined interest rate foreign currency swap agreement in conjunction with the early repayment of Euro notes during the first quarter of 2004, partially offset by a $0.1 billion reduction in cash collateral held related to the positions of certain combined interest rate foreign currency swap agreements.

Working Capital and Other Sources of Liquidity
      At March 31,June 30, 2005, our working capital ratio (current assets divided by current liabilities) was 0.98.0.92.
      We have a variety of sources of liquidity available to us as discussed below. However, the SBC merger agreement provides that we cannot incur additional indebtedness over $100 million in the aggregate or issue equity (other than for employee and shareowner plans) or convertible securities without the prior consent of SBC. The merger agreement also requires us to pay a special dividend in excess of $1.0 billion in connection with the closing of the transaction. We expect to have sufficient liquidity from cash on hand and cash from operations to fund all liquidity needs, including the special dividend, through the expected closing of the merger without any additional borrowings or financings. If competition and product substitution accelerate beyond current expectations and/or economic conditions worsen or do not improve, our cash flows from operations would decrease, negatively impacting our liquidity. Similarly, if we were to experience unexpected

30


AT&T CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — (Continued)
requirements to expend cash, our liquidity could be negatively impacted. However, we believe our access to the capital markets is adequate to provide the flexibility we desire in funding our operations, subject to SBC’s consent.
      In the event we need additional financing and SBC agreed to such financing, we could utilize the AT&T Business Services’ 364-day customer accounts receivable securitization facility, which extendshas been extended through July 2005.2006. The amended AT&T Business Services facility provides for up to $1.0$0.8 billion of available financing, limited by the eligible receivables balance, which varies from month to month. At March 31, 2005, we also had $0.35 billion of available financing under the AT&T Consumer Services Securitization facility. Proceeds from the securitizationssecuritization facility are recorded as borrowings and are included in short-term debt. Approximately $0.3$0.1 billion was outstanding under the facilitiesfacility at March 31,June 30, 2005. On May 6, 2005, we repaid the $0.1 billion of borrowings outstanding under the AT&T Consumer Services facility and subsequently terminated this facility. In addition, we have $2.4 billion remaining under a universal shelf registration.
      Further financing is available through the $1.0 billion syndicated 364-day credit facility that was entered into on October 6, 2004. No borrowings are currently outstanding under the facility. Up to $0.5 billion of the facility can be utilized for letters of credit, which reduces the amount available. At March 31,June 30, 2005, approximately $0.3 billion ofno letters of credit were outstanding under the facility.
      On April 1, 2005, we entered into a $0.3 billion credit facility maturing on March 20, 2006. This credit facility collateralizes our letters of credit issued in the normal course of business, which were previously issued against the $0.5 billion sub-limit in our existing $1.0 billion syndicated 364-day credit facility maturing in October 2005. At June 30, 2005, approximately $0.3 billion of letters of credit were outstanding under this facility.
      We cannot provide any assurances that any or all of these sources of funding will be available at the time they are needed or in the amounts required. Additionally, as our short-term credit ratings from Standard and Poor’s (S&P) and Moody’s Investors Services, Inc. (Moody’s) have been withdrawn at our request, there is no assurance that we will have any significant access to the commercial paper market. Furthermore, the combination of the requirement to reserve cash to pay the special dividend and the SBC-merger restrictions on incurring indebtedness could limit our ability to utilize sources of liquidity, which in turn, could negatively impact AT&T.
      Both the $1.0 billion credit facility and the securitization facilitiesfacility contain financial covenants that require us to meet a debt-to-EBITDA (defined as operating income plus depreciation and amortization expenses excluding any asset impairment or net restructuring and other charges) ratio not exceeding 2.25 to 1 (calculated pursuant to the credit facility) and an EBITDA-to-net interest expense ratio of at least 3.50 to 1 (calculated pursuant to the credit facility) for four consecutive quarters ending on the last day of each fiscal quarter. At March 31,June 30, 2005, we were in compliance with these covenants.

Credit Ratings and Related Debt Implications
      As of March 31,June 30, 2005, our credit ratings were as follows:
           
  Short-Term Long-Term  
Credit Rating Agency Rating Rating Outlook
       
Standard & Poor’s  Withdrawn   BB+  Watch Positive
Fitch  B   BB+  Watch Positive
Moody’s  Withdrawn   Ba1  Review for Possible Upgrade
      As a result of the SBC merger announcement, on January 31, 2005 and February 1, 2005, Fitch and S&P, respectively, put our long-term debt ratings on “watch positive” and removed the “outlook negative” and on January 31, 2005, Moody’s placed our long-term debt rating on “review for possible upgrade” and removed the “outlook

AT&T CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — (Continued)
“outlook negative.” In addition, based on our request, S&P and Moody’s have withdrawn our short-term credit ratings.
      Our access to capital markets, as well as the cost of our borrowings, are affected by our debt ratings. If our debt ratings were downgraded, we would be required to pay higher rates on certain existing debt and could be required to post cash collateral for certain interest-rate swaps in which we were in a net payable position.
Additionally, if our debt ratings were downgraded, our access to the capital markets may be further restricted and/or such replacement financing may be more costly or have additional covenants than we had in connection with our debt at March 31,June 30, 2005. In addition, the market environment for financing in general, and within the telecommunications sector in particular, has been adversely affected by economic conditions and bankruptcies of other telecommunications providers.
      AT&T Corp. is generally the obligor for debt issuances. However, there are some instances in which AT&T Corp. is not the obligor, for example, the securitization facilities and certain capital leases. The total debt of these entities, which are fully consolidated, was approximately $0.4$0.2 billion at March 31,June 30, 2005, and included within short-term and long-term debt.
Cash Requirements
      Our cash needs for 2005 will primarily relate to capital expenditures, repayment of debt, the payment of dividends and income tax related payments. We expect our capital expenditures in 2005 to be approximately $1.5 billion. During April 2005, we repurchased $1.25 billion of our outstanding debt, which resulted in a loss of $0.2 billion. We expect income tax payments to be significantly higher in 2005 compared with 2004.
      We anticipate contributing approximately $0.5 billion to the U.S. postretirement benefit plans in 2005, approximately one-half of which was contributed as of June 30, 2005. We expect to contribute approximately $30 million to our U.S. nonqualified pension plan in 2005. No contribution is expected for our U.S. qualified pension plans in 2005.
Contractual Cash Obligations
      We have contractual obligations to purchase certain goods or services from various other parties. During the first quarterhalf of 2005, we entered into new contracts and modified the commitment amounts of certain existing contracts, including commitments to utilize network facilities from local exchange carriers, which were previously assessed based on termination fees (see discussion below). The net effect of these changes was an increase to our unconditional purchase obligations of approximately $1,279 million$1.3 billion in 2005, $806$852 million in aggregate for 2006 and 2007, $53and $54 million in aggregate for 2008 and 2009 and $1 million for 2010.2009. A portion of the 2005 obligation was satisfied in the first quarterhalf of 2005. Also during the first quarterhalf of 2005, we entered into contracts under which we have calculated the minimum obligation for such agreements based on termination fees that can be paid to exit the contract. In addition, we modified existing contracts that

28


AT&T CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — (Continued)
contained termination fees. The net effect of these changes is an increase to termination fees of approximately $40$32 million in 2005, $104$98 million in aggregate for 2006 and 2007, $25$23 million in aggregate for 2008 and 2009 and $2 million in 2010 and beyond. Termination fees for any individual contract would not be paid in every year, rather only in the year of termination.
      We have contractual obligations to utilize network facilities from local exchange carriers with terms greater than one year. Since the contracts have no minimum volume requirements, and are based on an interrelationship of volumes and discount rates, we assessed our minimum commitment based on the penalties to exit the contracts, assuming we exit the contracts as of December 31 of each year. During the first threesix months of 2005, we entered into new contracts with several local exchange carriers, which had minimum purchase requirements and therefore are discussed above and no longer assessed based on termination fees. In addition, the termination fees with other local exchange carriers changed based on increases or decreases to the level of services purchased. The net effect of these changes resulted in a decrease to termination fees of approximately $0.5$0.4 billion in 2005 and no material change to any other period.an increase of approximately $0.7 billion in aggregate for 2006 and 2007 and

32

approximately $0.2 billion in aggregate for 2008 and 2009. Termination fees for any individual contract would not be paid in every year, rather only in the year of termination.
Risk Management
      We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest and foreign currency exchange rates. In addition, we are exposed to market risk from fluctuations in the prices of securities. On a limited basis, we use certain derivative financial instruments, including interest rate swaps, foreign currency exchange contracts, combined interest rate foreign currency contracts, forwards and other derivative contracts, to manage these risks. We do not use financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. All financial instruments are used in accordance with board-approvedBoard-approved policies.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
      In June 2005, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position FSP FAS No. 143-1, “Accounting for Electronic Equipment Waste Obligations,” to address the accounting for obligations associated with the Directive on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (the Directive) issued by the European Union (EU). The Directive was enacted on February 13, 2003, and directs EU-member countries to adopt legislation to regulate the collection, treatment, recovery, and environmentally sound disposal of electrical and electronic waste equipment. The Directive concludes that commercial users are obligated to retire, in an environmentally sound manner, specific assets that qualify as historical waste. FAS 143-1 is effective for reporting periods ending after June 8, 2005, which is June 30, 2005 for us, or the date of adoption of the Directive by the applicable EU-member countries, if later. We have evaluated the impact to our operations in EU countries that have adopted legislation and have deemed these costs to be immaterial. We will continue to evaluate the impact as other EU-member countries enact legislation. However, if the remaining EU-member countries enact similar legislation, we do not expect a material impact to our results of operations.
      In March 2005, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation (FIN) No. 47, “Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations,” an interpretation of SFAS No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations.” FIN No. 47 clarifies that the termconditional asset retirement obligation, as used in SFAS No. 143, refers to a legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing and/or method of settlement are conditional on a future event that may or may not be within the control of the entity. The obligation to perform the asset retirement activity is unconditional even though uncertainty exists about the timing and/or method of settlement. FIN No. 47 requires an entity to recognize a liability for the fair value of the conditional asset retirement obligation if the fair value of the liability can be reasonably estimated. FIN No. 47 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005, which is December 31, 2005 for us; however, earlier application is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of FIN No. 47 on our results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
      In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment,” which requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. Additional guidance to assist in the initial interpretation of this revised statement was subsequently issued by the SEC in Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107. SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004) eliminates the alternative of using APB Opinion No. 25 intrinsic value method of accounting that was provided for in SFAS No. 123 as originally issued. Effective January 1, 2003, we adopted the fair value recognition provisions of original SFAS No. 123 on a prospective basis and we began to record stock-based compensation expense for all employee awards (including stock options) granted or modified after January 1, 2003.2003, using the nominal vesting approach. Had we used the non-substantive vesting method, which will be required upon adoption, our results of operations would not have been materially different from those reported in the first half of 2005 and 2004. Adoption of the revised standard will require that we begin to recognize expense for unvested awards issued prior to January 1, 2003. Additionally, this standard requires that estimated forfeitures be considered in determining compensation expense. For equity awards other than stock

2933


AT&T CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — (Continued)
Additionally, this standard requires that estimated forfeitures be considered in determining compensation expense. For equity awards other than stock options, we have not previously included estimated forfeitures in determining compensation expense. Accordingly, the difference between the expense we have recognized to date and the compensation expense as calculated considering estimated forfeitures will be reflected as a cumulative effect of accounting change upon adoption. Further, SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004) requires that excess tax benefits be recognized as an addition to paid-in capital and amends SFAS No. 95, “Statement of Cash Flows,” to require that the excess tax benefits be reported as a financing cash inflow rather than as a reduction of taxes paid. SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004) is effective for annual periods beginning after June 15, 2005, which is January 1, 2006 for us. We intend to elect a modified prospective adoption beginning in the first quarter of 2006 and do not anticipate that the adoption of SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004) will have a material impact on our recorded compensation expense.results of operations.
      In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, “Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets — an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29.” APB Opinion No. 29 requires that nonmonetary exchanges of assets be recorded at fair value with an exception for exchanges of similar productive assets, which can be recorded on a carryover basis. SFAS No. 153 eliminates the current exception and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. A nonmonetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. SFAS No. 153 is effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges that take place in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005, which is July 1, 2005 for us; however, earlier application is permitted.
      In December 2004, the FASB issuedStaff Position FSP No. FAS 109-2, “Accounting and Disclosure Guidance for the Foreign Earnings Repatriation Provision within the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004,” which provides guidance on the accounting and disclosure requirements for the repatriation provision of the Act. The Act creates a one-time tax incentive for U.S. corporations to repatriate accumulated income earned abroad by providing a tax deduction of 85% of dividends received for certain foreign earnings that are repatriated. In an effort to assist taxpayers with the interpretation of the repatriation provision of the Act, in May 2005, the United States Department of Treasury issued detailed guidance on certain technical aspects that required clarification. The deduction is subject toremains dependent upon a number of requirements and clarification is needed on various aspects of the law before the impact can be determined. In addition, the amount of the deduction remainsis subject to potential local country restrictions on remittances, as well as to management’s decisions with respect to any repatriation. Based upon the current wordingnew guidance issued in second quarter of the law and assuming no technical corrections,2005, we are considering possible qualifying dividend remittances of up to approximately $100 million,$0.1 billion, which, after consideration of deferred taxes previously provided on foreign earnings, we estimate would result in a one-time income tax benefit in 2005 of up to approximately $5$10 million. We expect to complete our evaluation of the impact of the Act during 2005.
Subsequent Events
      During May 2005, we settled litigation brought by the trustee for the bondholders’ liquidating trust of At Home Corporation for $340 million, subject to bankruptcy court approval. Under the terms of a separation agreement with our former broadband subsidiary, which was spun off to Comcast Corporation in 2002, the settlement will be shared equally between the two parties. The settlement of this litigation did not have a material impact on our results of operations.
