On February 10, 2003, Atlantic Coast Airlines issued the
following press release attached hereto as Exhibit 99.
Statements in this news release and by company executives
regarding projections and expectations of future operations,
earnings, revenues and costs represent forward-looking statements
and information that are based on management's current
expectations as of the date of this press release. In this
context, the words "anticipate", "believe", "estimate", "expect"
and similar expressions, as they relate to the company's
management, are intended to identify such forward-looking
statements. Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks,
uncertainties, assumptions and other factors that may cause the
actual results of the company to be materially different from
those reflected in such forward-looking statements. A number of
risks and uncertainties exist which could cause actual results to
differ materially from these projected results. Such factors
include, among others: United's decision to elect either to
affirm all of the terms of the company's existing United Express
Agreement, or to reject the agreement in its entirety; the timing
of such decision; any efforts by United to negotiate changes as a
condition to affirming the contract; United's ability and
willingness to make future payments to the company under the
United Express Agreement; the company's ability to collect pre-
petition obligations from United or to offset pre-petition
obligations due to United; willingness of finance parties to
continue to finance additional aircraft deliveries pending
United's decision whether to affirm or reject the United Express
Agreement and of market conditions generally; United's ability to
successfully reorganize in bankruptcy; changes in levels of
service agreed to by the company with its code-share partners due
to market conditions; the ability and timing of agreeing upon
rates with United; the ability of these partners to manage their
operations and cash flow, and ability and willingness of these
partners to continue to deploy the company's aircraft and to
utilize and pay for scheduled service at agreed upon rates;
availability and cost of product support for the company's 328JET
aircraft; whether the company is able to recover or realize on
its claims against Fairchild Dornier in its insolvency
proceedings and unexpected costs arising from the insolvency of
Fairchild Dornier; general economic and industry conditions;
additional acts of war; and risks and uncertainties arising from
the events of September 11 and from the slow economy which may
impact the company, its code-share partners, and aircraft
manufacturers in ways that the company is not currently able to
predict. These and other factors are more fully disclosed under
the company's "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations" in ACAI's Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001 and in its
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30,
2002. These statements are made as of February 10, 2003 and ACA
undertakes no obligation to update any such forward-looking
information, whether as a result of new information, future
events, changed expectations or otherwise.
