Coordination with the Federal Aviation Administration to
Procure Fundin.q for the Reopenin.q of Runway 9-27
Please find the attached memorandum as compiled and delivered per my
direction by airport manager Jason Milewski relative to the City of
Sebastian's efforts to procure funding from the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) and the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT)
Aviation Section to initiate financing for the Runway 9-27 reopening effort. It
is anticipated that an initial allocation of $184,500 from FDOT will be
programmed to implement Phase I of the project. In addition, FAA officials
from the agency's Orlando office recently conducted an analysis that
suggests a possible allocation of over $600,000 to help complete the
program. We anticipate recommending authorization of grant agreements
from the FDOT aviation section in the coming weeks. At that time, we hope
to also provide a strategic timeframe for implementation.
Mer.qer of AT&T Broadband
A few days ago, Ms. Susan Bisno, Vice President of Franchising and Local
Government Affairs, notified my office about plans for a horizontal merger
with Comcast Corporation, to likely take effect this summer. As such, the
City of Sebastian is in position to review the enclosed Federal
Communications Commission merger application, as required by our
franchise agreement. After respective review, a resolution consenting to the
merger will become necessary for authorization by City Council (some of
you have experienced this process before). The union will result in a new,
indirect parent company governing the City of Sebastian cable franchise
agreement - AT&T Comcast Corporation. Therefore, you may feel free to
review the proposal, in an effort to ascertain the new organizational
structure, as well as overall rational for the merger. Any of you may also feel
free to discuss with me any concerns you may have regarding this matter,
City Council Information Letter

as arrangements will be made to schedule a necessary presentation during
an upcoming City Council meeting.
Tischler Fiscal Impact Analysis
Please be advised that the City of Sebastian Fiscal Impact Analysis is
currently coming to conclusion via the efforts of Paul Tischler and
Associates. As such, it is anticipated that a respective presentation will be
made during a City Council meeting in the coming weeks, to also offer a
recommended annexation policy for your consideration, per results of the
study. As referenced in the attached memorandum from firm agent Chris
Cullinan, interesting findings to date includes analysis that reveals that
residential properties do in fact pay for themselves (driven by population,
including utility services taxes, franchise fees and state shared revenues).
Accordingly, such dynamics should also be taken into account while
considering various voluntary annexation requests into the Sebastian
Corporate Limits.
Proposal for Voluntary Annexation
Please be advised that the Graves Brothers Company has formally initiated
an application process to voluntarily annex into the Sebastian Corporate
Limits. Both Director of Growth Management Tracy Hass and ~ are working
with Mr. Richard Graves to ascertain and outline respective zoning changes,
namely the possibility of both residential and commercial designations. In
addition to the attached letter expressing interest in voluntary annexation, a
map outlining the proposed incorporation is also included (areas in question
outlined in highlighter ink). A presentation relative to this matter is therefore
being scheduled and coordinated, including respective recommendations to
be forwarded to City Council.
Capital Sanitation
Please be advised that Ron Rigby, Vice President of Capital Sanitation has
been rescheduled to appear publicly during your next meeting, to provide a
report relative to solid waste collection services in the community. My office
has requested that his presentation focuses on the status of operational
improvements, equipment upgrades and enhanced customer service
orientation. Once again, this arrangement is being made pursuant to Mr.

Runway 9-27 Funding Opportunities
I am pleased to report that recent meetings with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) as
well as the Florida Deparnnent of Transportation, Aviation Section (FDOT) regarding funding of
improvements at Sebastian Mtmicipal A/rport have produced some very positive results.
More specifically, airport staffwas able to secure approximately $184,500 fi'om FDOT for 80%
of the costs associated with clearing and relocating obstacles from the safety area of proposed
Runway 9-27. This means that we have the authority to use this money to assist in relocating both
J&S Aviation and Velocity, Inc. I expect to have two formal Joint Pm'ticipation Agreements
before you shortly (one for $150,000 and one for $34,500). The latter amount represents half of
our local match to anticipated Federal funding which is explained below.
As alluded to above, there is sn'ong indication that the FAA will also assist us in this endeavor.
Meetings with FAA representatives have been productive and it appears that we can proceed with
our plans to activate Runway 9-27 in phases, the first of which being the relocation of said
structures. There are however, two requirements that we must complete before we are truly
eligible for this aid. First, we must commission an appraisal of both businesses, as the FAA will
only participate up to the Market Value of these facilities. Second, we must update the previous
Environmental Assessment (EA) approved in 1993 for the reactivation of Runway 9-27. I will
have estimates for both of these requirements for you in a few weeks.
Finally, as I'm certain you are aware, the FAA does not officially commit to any funding request.
As we unfortunately witnessed on September 11, 2001, many funding priorities can change
within the industry. Hmvever, if all goes well and we summarily complete the above
requirements, current analysis of their 2002 budget suggest that the FAA portion of the funding
will exceed $600,000.
Please let me know' if you have any questions or concerns regm-ding these issues. As always, I'll
keep you informed of an3' further progress.

Re: Merger of AT&T Broadband and Comcast Corporation
Request for Consent to Change of Control
Dear Mr. Moore:
AT&T Corp., the parent corporation of your franchisee, and Comcast Corporation
have announced their intention to combine their cable systems into a new public
company, AT&T Comcast Corporation. We are writing to provide you with information
regarding this transaction, and to formally request any consent that may be required by
franchise or applicable law.
AT&T and Comcast are excited about the merger, which we believe will have
significant benefits for our customers. The transaction will create the world's leading
communications, media and entertainment company. With the combined expertise and
initiative of AT&T Broadband and Comcast, we hope to enhance the quality and choice
of products and services available to consumers.
Under the terms of the agreements governing the transaction, following an
intemal restructuring, AT&T Corp. will spin off its cable system assets and
simultaneously merge them with Comcast, forming a new company to be cai[ed AT&T
Comcast Corporation. We have attached a description of each step of the process,
including "before" and "after" charts, to assist you in understanding the transaction.
Subject to the internal restructuring, the transaction will not change the holder of the
franchise; the franchise will continue to be held by the same legal entity after the merger
is complete. However, the transaction will result in a new indirect parent company for
the Franchisee - AT&T Comcast Corporation.
Our records indicate that the franchise may require that we obtain your consent
to this transaction. To assist you in evaluating our request, we have enclosed the
following materials:
FCC FORM 394. Enclosed are three copies of the Federal
Communications Commission's (FCC's) Form 394 and any additional
copies required by your franchise. According to the FCC, the Form 394 is
designed to provide you with the information necessary to assess the
financial, legal and technical qualifications of the proposed new
controlling entity. As par~ of that Form, we are including any specific
additional information required by the franchise. Under the FCC's rules,
Febn~"y 25, 2002
Page 2
you have a maximum of 120 days from the date you receive this
information to review it and to act upon our request for consent to the
merger. This timeframe may be shorter if so specified in your franchise. If
you choose not to take any action within this 120 day period, under
federal ~aw your consent will be deemed granted.
· CONSENT RESOLUTION. For your convenience and consideration, we
have also enclosed a draft resolution that addresses your consent to the
transaction. We would request that this resolution be placed on your
agenda for consideration at your earliest convenience.
If at any time you have any questions or concerns about the transaction or would
like any additional information, please feel free to call me at 954-533-5102. You can

Exhibit
Transferee is a newly formed entity created by AT&T Corp. and Comcast
Corporation. As of the effective time of the closing, Transferee will be the new indirect parent
company of the legal entity holding the franchise for your cable system. Other than similar
applications made to other franchise authorities in connection with this transaction, Transferee has
not made any previous applications to any franchise authorities and, therefore, has not had any
dismissals or denials. As a courtesy, however, below is the information about denials/dismissals
with respect to AT&T and Comcast cable businesses.
AT&T's Cable Business
In connection with the March 1999 merger of TCI into AT&T Corp. (the "Merger"),
the City of Portland, Oregon and Multnomah County, Oregon denied consent to the Merger because
AT&T and TCI would not accept the communities' conditions requiring non-discriminatory access
to the cable modem platform. Subsequently, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals held that the City
and County had no lawful authority to impose such access obligations in the transfer process.
Also in connection with the Merger, the Village of Rhinebeck, New York, the Town
of Rhinebeck, New York and the Village of Red Hook, New York denied consent to the Merger.
These three franchises serve approximately 3,000 customers and the franchise authorities did not
provide reasons for the denial as part of the resolutions adopting such denials. The communities
consented to the Merger in connection with the June 1999 exchange of certain cable systems (the
"Time Warner Exchange"), owned by Time Warner, Inc. ("Time Warner").
In connection with the May 1999 merger of MediaOne Group, Inc. into AT&T (the
"MediaOne Merger"), Cambridge, Massachusetts denied the transfer of control based on issues
relating to fomed access, allegations that AT&T did not possess the requisite managerial ability,
further allegations of lack of benefit to the community and its speculations that AT&T was not likely
to adhere to the terms and conditions of the license. On May 1,2000 the Massachusetts Department
of Telecommunications and Energy (DTE) ruled that the city's denial based on the fomed access
issue was unlawful because it was outside the appropriate standard for review o fa transfer of control
of a cable franchise. The DTE also found that the city cannot unilaterally alter the existing cable
licenses by mandating that AT&T provide open access to non- affiliated ISPs. They further ruled that
no specific community benefit need be shown by the applicant. The dispute has been settled. The
city gave its consent following the settlement.
Also in connection with the MediaOne Merger, Mentor, Ohio denied the transfer of
control based on allegations of MediaOne's non-compliance with the franchise and AT&Ts
unwillingness to agree to additional terms and conditions the city sought to impose. AT&T and
MediaOne subsequently appealed the city's decision. The dispute has been settled and the city gave
its approval as part of the settlement.
Also, in connection with the Time Warner Exchange, the Township of Middletown,
Pennsylvania denied consent to the transfer of the franchise from Time Warner to TCI of New York,
Inc. due to a dispute with Time Warner over a cable rate appeal The dispute was settled and the
Township subsequently withdrew its denial and gave its approval for the franchise transfer.
In connection with the December 1999 formation of a partnership with affiliates of
AT&T and Centua3' Communications Corporation ("Century"), pursuant to which the franchises
granted by Moreno Valley, CA were to be contributed to the partnership, Moreno Valley denied the
FCC Form 394 application to Uansfer the franchise to the partnership because of the pending sale
of Century to Adelphia Communication Corporation. The dispute has been settled and the city gave
its approval as part of the settlement.
In connection with the December 2000 exchange of certaln cable systems owned by
Comcast Corporation ("Comcast") and AT&T, the Borough of Blawnox, Pennsylvania denied the
FCC Form 394 application to transfer the franchise owned by Comcast Cablevision of the South,
Inc. to AT&T based on transferee's legal qualifications. The transfer is still pending.
In connection with the Jnne 2001 sale of certain cable systems to Charter
Communications Holding Company LLC ("Charter"), the City of Hoover, Alabama denied the FCC
Form 394 application to transfer the franchise to Charter. The City did not provide reasons for the
denial as part of the resolutions adopting the denial..
Comcast's Cable Business
in connection with the sale of certain cable systems owned by an affiliate of Lenfcst
Communications, Inc. to Comcast, Buckingham Township, Pennsylvania initially denied con~ent
to the transfer application because the Township alleged amaterial violation of the Township's Cable
Ordinance and a breach of the franchise. The Township alleged that the sale closed prior to the
Township's granting its consent. The dispute was settled, and the transfer was ultimately approved
on September 26, 2001.
In connection with the sale of certain cable systems owned by an affiliate of Iones
Intercable, Inc. to Comcast, the City of Bowie, Maryland initially denied the transfer from Jones to
Comcast alleging that Jones was not in compliance with its franchise. The parties settled their
dispute without a finding of fault, and the transfer was ultimately approved on October 14, 1999.
Exhibit 6
No adverse findings have been made and no final actions have been taken with
respect to Transferee related to any of the items listed in Question 5. As a courtesy, however, the
following information is previded with respect to AT&T's and Comcast's cable businesses in the
last ten years.
Rosernarv Santos v. TCICablevision, Case #150 98 2016, EEOC o fFlorida. Plaintiff,
a former employee in the Plantation Call Center in Florida, filed a charge against TCI Cablevision
on April 14, 1998, alleging discrimination under the ADA. The EEOC determined on 3uly 2 l, 1998
that TCI Cablevision violated the statute.
Fred Roberts v. AT&TBroadband, Cause No. 01-CV-699, in the District Court of
Arapahoe County, Colorado Courtroom 5. Plaintiff, a former employee, filed a disabilit~
discrimination and retaliation suit on March 15, 2001. Default judgment was entered on September
20, 2001 plus pre-judgment interest. AT&T Broadband has filed Motions to Set Aside the Default
Judgment and to Stay Execution. Execution has been stayed. The Motion t(~ Set Aside is pending.

of Comcast Class A common stock, voting together as a single class, approve the Preferred Structure
proposal at the Comcast shareholders' meeting held to approve the AT&T Comcast transaction or
another that is referred to as the "Alternative Structure" that wi11 be implemented if they do not.
The Preferred Structure
If holders of Comcast Class A common stock, voting as a single class, and holders of
Comcast Class A common stock and Comcast Class B common stock, voting together as a single
class, approve the Preferred Structure proposal:
each share of AT&T Broadband common stock that is outstanding immediately prior
to the completion of the AT&T Comcast transaction will be converted into the right
to receive a number of shares of AT&T Comcast Class A common stock determined
by a formula set forth in the merger agreement; and
each share of Comcast Class A common stock, Comcast Class B common stock and
Comcast Class A Special common stock that is outstanding immediately prior to the
completion of the AT&T Comcast transaction will be converted into the right to
receive one share of AT&T Comcast Class A common stock, AT&T Comcast
Class B common stock and AT&T Comcast Class A Special common stock,
respectively.
The Alternative Structure
If the holders of the Comcast Class A common stock, voting as a single class, or holders of Comcast
Class A cormnon stock and Comcast Class B common stock, voting together as a single class, do
not approve the Preferred Structure proposal:
each share of AT&T Broadband common stock that is outstanding immediately prior
to the completion of the AT&T Comcast transaction will be converted into the right
to receive a number of shares of AT&T Comcast Class C common stock determined
by a formula set forth in the merger agreement; and
each share of Comcast Class A common stock, Comcast Class B common stock and
Comcast Class A Special common stock that is outstanding immediately prior to the
completion of the AT&T Comcast transaction will be converted into the right to
receive one share of AT&T Comcast Class A common stock, AT&T Comcast
Class B common stock and AT&T Comcast Class A Special common stock,
respectively.
Description of AT&T Comcast Capital Stock
The following describes the material terms of the capital stock of AT&T Comcast that will
be issued in the AT&T Comcast transaction under the charter and bylaws that will be in effect after
the completion of the transaction.
Authorized Capital Stock
Under the Preferred Structure, the authorized capital stock of AT&T Comcast will consist
of 7.5 billion shares of Class A common stock,7.5 billion shares of Class A Special common stock,
75 million shares of Class B common stock and 100 million shares of preferred stock.
Under the Alternative Structure, the authorized capital stock of AT&T Comcast will consist
of 200 million shares of Class A common stock,7.5 billion shares of Class A Special common stock,
75 million shares of Class B common stuck,7.5 billion shares of Class C common stock and 100
million shares of preferred stock.
.4T&T Comcast Class.d Common Stock
AT&T Comcast Class A Common Stock Outstanding. The outstanding shares of AT&T
Comcast Class A common stock will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable.
Voting Rights. Under the Preferred Structure, on all matters submitted for a vote of ~he
holders of all classes of AT&T Comcast voting stock, the holders of the AT&T Comcast Class A
common stock in the aggregate will hold 66-2/3% of the combined voting power of the AT&T
Comcast capital stock upon completion of the transaction. Unlike the AT&T Comcast Class B
common stock under the Preferred Structure, the aggregate voting interest of the AT&T Comcast
Class A common stock under the Preferred Structure will be dilutable and will decrease upon the
issuance of shares of any other class of AT&T Comcast capital stock with voting rights (other than
any issuance of additional shares of AT&T Comcast Class B common stock). Based on the number
of shares of AT&T Comcast Class A common stock anticipated to be outstanding upon completion
of the AT&T Comcast transaction if the Preferred Structure is implemented, each share of AT&T
Comcast Class A common stock will have approximately .225 of a vote upon completion of the
AT&T Comcast transaction.
Under the Alternative Structure, subject to the following two sentences, on all matters
submitted for a vote of the holders of all classes of AT&T Comcast voting stock, the holders of the
AT&T Comcast Class A common stock and AT&T Comcast Class B common stock in the aggxegate
will hold 5.14% and 33-1/3%, respectively, of the combined voting power of the AT&T Comcast
capital stock upon completion of the transaction, regardless of the number of shares of AT&T

any time. If the number of shares of AT&T Comcast Class A common stock or AT&T Comcast
Class B common stock ontstanding upon completion of the transaction is reduced for any reason
(e.g., by repurchase or, in the case of the AT&T Comcast Class B common stock only, conversion)
after the completion o£the transaction, the aggregate voting power of the applicable class of AT&T
Comcast capital stock will be proportionately reduced. If additional shares o fAT&T Comcast Class
A common stock or AT&T Comcast Class B common stock are issued in disproportionate mounts
after the completion of the transaction, the relative aggregate voting percentages of the two classes
of AT&T Comcast common stock will change (based on the principle that each share of AT&T
Comcast Class B common stock will be entitled to 15 times the vote of each share of AT&T
Comcast Class A common stock) but the combined aggregate voting percentage of the two classes
of stock will remain constant at approximately 38-47/100 % (except to the extent there has been a
reduction in the aggregate voting power of either class of stock as described in the preceding
sentence). Under the Alternative Structure, each share of AT&T Comcast Class A common stock
will have 1 vote and each share of AT&T Comcast Class B common stock wilt have 15 votes, in
each case upon completion of the AT&T Comcast transaction.
ApprovalRights. Under the Preferred Structure, except as required by law, holders of AT&T
Comcast Class A common stock will have no specific approval fights over any AT&T Comcast
corporate actions. Under the Altemative Structure, holders of AT&T Comcast Class A common
stock and holders of AT&T Comcast Class B common stock, voting together as a single class, will
have the approval rights described under "- AT&T Comcast Class B Common Stock - Approval
Rights".
Conversion Rights. The shares of AT&T Comcast Class A common stock will not be

Comcast Class B common stock in the aggregate will hold 33-1/3% of the combined voting power
of AT&T Comcast capital stock upon completion of the AT&T Comcast transaction, regardless of
the number of shares of AT&T Comcast Class A common stock or any other class of AT&T
Comcast capital stock outstanding at any time. If the number of shares of AT&T Comcast Class B
common stock outstanding upon completion of the transaction is reduced for any reason (e.g.,by
repurchase or conversion) after the completion of the transaction, the aggregate voting power of the
AT&T Comcast Class B common stock will be proportionately reduced. Under the Preferred
Structure, each share of AT&T Comcast Class B common stock will have 15 votes upon completion
of the AT&T Comcast ~-ansaction.
Under the Alternative Structure, the voting rights of AT&T Comcast Class B common stock
will be as described under "Description of AT&T Comcast Capita1 Stock".
Approval Rights. Under the Preferred Structure, the holders of AT&T Comcast Class B
common stock will have an approval right over (1) any merger of AT&T Comcast with another
company or any other transaction, in each case that requires AT&T Comcast shareholder approval
under applicable.law, or any other transaction that would result in any person or group owning shares
representing in excess of 10% of the combined voting power of the resulting or surviving
corporation, or any issuance of securities (other than pumuant to director or officer stock option or
purchase plans) requiring AT&T Comcast shareholder approval under the roles and regulations of
any stock exchange or quotation system; (2) any issuance of AT&T Comcast Class B common stock
or any securities exercisable or exchangeable for or convertible into AT&T Comcast Class B
common stock; and charter amendments (such as a charter amendment to opt in to any of the
Pennsylvania antitakeover statutes) and other actions (such as the adoption, amendment or
redemption of a shareholder rights plan) that limit the rights of holders of AT&T Comcast Class B
common stock or any subsequent transferee of AT&T Comcast Class B common stock to transfer,
vote or otherwise exercise rights with respect to AT&T Comcast capital stock.
Under the Altemative Structure, holders of AT&T Comcast Class B common stock and
AT&T Comcast Class A common stock, voting together as a single class, will have the same
approval rights that holders of AT&T Comcast Class B common stock have under the Preferred
Structure. In addition, under the Alternative Structure, the approval of holders of AT&T Comcast
Class B common stock and AT&T Comcast Class A common stock, voting together as a single
class, will also be required to issue any AT&T Comcast Class A common stock or any securities
exercisable or exchangeable for or convertible into AT&T Comcast Class A common stock.

Voting Rights. On all matters submitted for a vote of the holders of all classes of AT&T
Comcast voting stockholders of AT&T Comcast Class C common stock in the aggregate will hold
approxLmately 61-53/100% of the combined voting power of AT&T Comcast capital stock upon
completion of the transaction. Unlike AT&T Comcast Class A common stock and AT&T Comcast
Class B common stock under the Alternative Structure, the aggregate voting interest of AT&T
Comcast Class C common stock will be dilutable and will decrease upon the issuance of shares of
any other class of AT&T Comcast capital stock with voting fights (other than any issuance of
additional shares of AT&T Comcast Class A common stock or AT&T Comcast Class B common
stock). Based on the number of shares of AT&T Comcast Class C common stock anticipated to be

preferred stock, without par value, with full, limited, multiple, fractional, or no voting rights, and
with such designations, preferences, qualifications, privileges, limitations, restrictions, options,
conversion rights, and other special or relative rights as it so chooses. Acting under this authority,
the AT&T Comcast Board could create and issue a class or series of preferred stock with rights,
privileges or restrictions, and adopt a shareholder rights plan, having the effect of discriminating
against an existing or prospective holder of securities as a result of that shareholder beneficially
owning or commencing a tender offer for a substantial mount of AT&T Comcast voting capital
stock. One of the effects of anthorized but unissued and unreserved shares of capital stock may be
to render more difficult or discourage an attempt by a potential acquiror to obtain control of AT&T
Comcast by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise, and thereby protect the
continuity ofAT&T Comcast's management. The issuance of such shares of capital stock may
have the effect of delay/ng, deferring or preventing a change in control of AT&T Comcast without
any further action by the shareholders of AT&T Comcast.
Pursuant to the authority described in the preceding paragraph, prior to the completion of the
Iransaction the AT&T Comcast Board will designate a series of preferred stock in connection with
the adoption of the AT&T Comcast shareholder rights plan.
Exhibit 8
Not applicable. There are no documents, instruments, agreements, or understandings for the
pledge of stock of the Transferee as security for loans or contractual performance.

financial statements have been prepared in the ordinary course for Transferee and Transferee has no
historical financial information. The Pro Fonua Financial Statements for AT&T Comcast
Corporation included in the Preliminary Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus filed with the SEC on

The following Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condenscd Balance Sheet of AT&T Comcast
Corporation CAT&T Comcast") as of September 30, 2001 gives effect to the AT&T Comcast transactiun. The
· for the nine
following Unaudited Pro Forms Combined Condensed Statements of Operations of AT&T Comcast Ccrocast
mouths ended September 30, 2001 and for th~ year ended December 31, 2000 give effect to the AT,~g Pro forms
~ranaaction and AT&T Corp.'s acquisition of MediaOoc Group, wkich occurred on Iu.~ I5, 2000.
financial statements reflect the fact that the AT&T Comcast transaction and thc MedinOnc acquisition arc
accounted for under the method of accounting.
Since the acquisition of McdiaOne Group occurred prior to September 30, 2001, the financial position of
MedinOna Cu'unp has bean h~cludcd in thc historical combined AT&T Broadband Group balance sh~t az of
September 30, 2001. Thc Unaudited Pro Forms Combined Condensed Balance Sheet assumes the AT&T
Comcast wansactiun occurred on September 30, 2001. The Unaudited Pro Forms Combined Condensed
Statements of Operations assume the AT&T Comcast Uansacnon and AT&T's acqutstUon c.f MediaOn..c Group
occurred on tanuary 1, 2000. The unaudi~d pro for~a financial data is based on the historical consohdated
~'a~ncial statements of Comcast, thc histonesl combined fmancxal statements of AT&T Broadband Group and thc
historical consolidated fumnciaI statements of McdiaOnc Group nudes the assumptions and adjustments set forth
in the accompanying explanatory notes.
AT&T Corp ("AT&T') and Comcast Corporation ("Comcast") ha¥c dcterm~es that ~c AT&T Comcast
transaction will bc accounted for as an acquisifiun by Comcast of AT&T Broadband Group. As Comcast is
considered the accounting acquiror, the historical basis of Comcasfs asscU and liabilities will not be affected by
thc AT&T Comcast transaction. For purposes of develeping the Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condenscd
Balance Sheet az of September 30, 2001, AT&T Broadband Group's assets, including identifiable intangible
assets, and liabilities have been recorded at their estimated fair values and the excess purchase price has been
assigned to goodwill The fair values assigncd in these pro forms fln~neial s~atemente are preliminary and
rcpresant management's best estimates of current fair value which are subject to revision upon completion of thc ·
AT&T Comcast transaction. Management of both companies currently knows of no cvents or circumstances other
than those disclosed in these pro forms notes that would require a material change to the preliminary purchase
price allocation. However, a final determination of required purchase accou.uling adjustments will be made upon
thc cemplction of a study to bc undertaken by AT&T Comcast in conjunction with independent appraisers to
determine thc fair Yaluc of ccrtam of AT&T Broadband Group's assets, including idenfillable intangible assets,
and liabilities..Ass~rnlng completion cf thc AT&T Coracast ffaniactiol~ the aclllal financial position and results
of operations will differ, perhaps significantly, from r. he pro forms amounts reflected her~in due to a variety of
factors, including ascass to additional infomuation, changes in value not currently identified and changes in
operating results between the dates cf the pro forms fb~,~cial data and thc date on which thc AT&T Comcast
,a'ansaction lakes place. See Note (b) to Unaudited Pro Forms Combined Condensed Balance Sheet·
Comcast stockholders will recc-ive shares of AT&T Comcast Class A common stock, AT&T Comcast
Class B common stock and AT&T Comcast Class A Special common stock in exchange for shar~ of Comcast
Class A common stock, Comcast Cia.ss B common stock and Comcast Class A Special common stock,
respectively, based on an exchange ratio of I to 1. AT&T Comcast will issue stock options to purchase shares, of
AT&T Comcast common stock in exchange for all outstanding stock options of Comcast, based on an cxcbange
rarlo of 1 to 1.
Thc estimated aggregate consideration and Comcasfs transaction costs directly related to the AT&T
Comcast ira~acfion total $49,235.6 r~illion. This includes the fair value cf the issuance of approximately 1,231
million shares of AT&T Comcast common stock to AT&T shareholders in ex~-hsn§e for all of AT&Ts interests in
AT&T Broadband C. rwup, the fair value of the issuance of 115.0 million shares of AT&T Comcast common stock
to Microsoft Corporation in exchange for AT&T Broadband Group shares that Microsoft will receive immediately
prior to the completion cf the AT&T Comcast transac~iou for settlemcnt of their $5 billion aggregate principal
amount in quarterly inceroc preferred sccunt~ss (QUIPS), the fair value of AT&T Comcast stock opt~oni and
stock appreciation rights issued in ~xchange for AT&T Broadband C. rroup stock options and stock appreciation

wcightedavcragc market price of Comcast Class A Special common stock during the period begi--i~g two days
before and ending two days after thc AT&T Comcast wansactinn was announced, hi limited circumstances thc
number of sharos issued to AT&T sharohuldcrs is subject to adjustment In thc event this occurs, the fair value of
all of the sharos to be issued would be bascd on the market price of Comcast Class A Special common stock on
the closing date. In addition to the consideration paid, AT&T Comcast will ret~n:~e $7,$19.6 nfillion of debt and
accrued int. erest assumed from AT&T Broadband Group based on the pro formas.

of a potential reahgnment, assuming such a plan were in place at the ¢onsttttu,~ition date of the AT&T Comcast
u-amaction, could inc~as¢ or decrease the amount of goodwill and intangthlc assets recognized by AT&T
Comcast in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force No. 95-3, "Rccognifion of Liabiliries in Connection with .
a Purchase Business Combination.' Thc Unaudited Combined Condensed Statements of Operations exclude any
benefits that may result fxoro synorgics that may bc det'ivccl, or the elimination of duplicative efforts.
Among thc provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, ~Bnsiness
Combinations," new criteria have been established for dcteardning whether intan~'blc assets should be recognizcd
separately f~om goodwill. Statement of Finsncial Accounting Standards No. 142, "Ooodwill and Other Intong~le
Assets" ("SFAS 142') providcs, among otl~' guidelines, that goodwill and intangiblc assets with indefinite lives
will not be amortized, but rather will be tested for impairment on at least an annual basis. Management of both
companies believes that cable f~-anchise operating rights have indefinite livcs based upon an analysis utilizing the
criteria in paragraph 11 of SFAS 142. Thc pro for'ma adjustments to thc Unaudited Pro Forms Combined
Condensed StatemcntS of Operations reflect the clir~inatian of AT&T Broadband Group's amortization expanse
related to goodwill and cable fl~nchisc operating rights sincc this acquisition will bc accounted for under thc
provisions of SFAS 142.
Comcast incurred goodwill and cable franchise operating rights amortization expense of approximately
$1,556.0 million and $1,473.0 million for thc year ended Decembct 31, 2000 and nine months endcd Scptamber
30, 2001, respectively. Thc historical consolidated financial starts of Comcast included in the Unaudited Pro
Forma Combined Condensed Statements of Operations include thc amortization expense related to Corncasfs
goodwill and cable franchise opemling fights, which has not been eliminated in thc pro forms adjusrmcnts.
Effective January 1, 2002, Comcast will, in accordance with thc provisions of SFAS 142, no longer amortize
goodwill and cable fianchise operaiing rights.
Tho pro fonna financial data prssents assumcs thc AT&T Comcast transaction is complcted under the
Preferred Stracmrc (see the "Sunarnary o f The Fro ferrcd Structure", below) Howcver, if thc AT&T Comcast
U-ansaction were completed under thc Alternative SIructure (sec nSummary of The Alternative Structure" below),
this would have no impact on the pro forms financial statements as presented. Managament of both companies
believes that thc assumptions used provide a reasunsblc basis on which to present the anandited pa forms
financial data. In addition to AT&T's acquisition of McdlaOne Group, both companies have completed othcr.
acquisitions and dispositions which are not; significant, individually or in thc aggregate, and, accordingly, have not
been included in the accompanyi~ unaadit~d pro forms financial data. The unaudited pro forms f~,~ncial data
may not be indicative o£thc ~,~,tcial position or results that would have occurred i~AT&T's acquisition of
MadiaOne Group and thc AT&T Comcast transaction had been in effect on the datss indicated or which may be

Thc unaudited p=o fom~a ffma~cial data should be read in conjunction with ~h= Ms~ofical co~solida:=d

Attached zs a more detailed breakdown m the net fiscal results by fens for
each of the protOtype land uses.
It appears that the main reasons for the resident'iai surpluses are the
remount of revermes generated by ad valorem mx~ and those revenues
driven by population, including ut/lits, service taxes, franchise fees and state
sbxaed revenues (local half cent sales mx). The mare reason for nonresidential deficits is
that these land uses receive nc cred/t in the Special Revenue and Capital Improvement
Faud~ for revenues fi.om ddscret/onmD' ~..tes tax mhd local option ~as mx, w~ch are both
driven by population.
Once the City has signed offon the LOS document and mutually agreed changes are
made, we will pro¢~d to finish the final report.
Please COlltaCt me '~.

Mr. Terrence R. Moore, City Manager

Sebastian, FL 32958
Dear Mr. Moore:
Thank you for taking the time to meet with me regarding a possible expansion of
the town limits of the city of Sebastian to include some land that I own on County Road
510. I have attached a map that was taken fxom the 2001 Indian River County plat
directory. There could be some changes of ownership in the subject area that occurred
after the plat book was published but there are no changes to either Graves Brothers
Company's property or that owned by Ryall et.al.
As we discussed, there are some recent changes to the subject area that should
make it more appealing for development and thereby appealing to the city. A new
elementary school will open in that area in September of this year. The county has
completed a new sewer line along CR 510 recently which means that both county water
and sewer services are available to that area. The area has good access to the city of
Sebastian especially if as planned some of the roads within the city are extended to CR
510 in the future. There also is good access to the Veto Beach area.
I have talked to Mr. Alan Ryall concerning this issue and he is in full agreement
to exploring the possibilities of being included into the city. Referring to the enclosed
map you will note that most of the land that is in the block south of CR 510, west of CR
505, east of Vero Lake Estates and no~th ora line that is one mile south of CR 510 is
either owned by Graves Brothers Company or Ryall et.al.
Please let me know if you need additional information.
