Date: May 16, 2001 By: /s/ Kathryn L. Hale ---------------------------------------- Name: Kathryn L. Hale Title: Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer -4- 5 ATTACHMENT TO FORM 12b-25 OF ON COMMAND CORPORATION The Registrant anticipates that the Quarterly Report will report a net loss applicable to common stockholders of approximately $19.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2001 as compared to the previously reported loss of $4.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2000. As will be described in more detail in the Quarterly Report, the anticipated increase in the Registrant's net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2001 as compared to the corresponding period in 2000 is attributable to a decrease in revenue, increases in operating expenses, selling, general and administrative expenses and expenses for depreciation and amortization, relocation and interest,as well as a charge in connection with a recent litigation settlement, partially offset by decreases in direct costs and research and development expenses.
