BULL RUN CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Amounts in thousands, except per share amounts)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

In management’s opinion, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting solely of normal, recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations for the transition and comparative period reported. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements contained in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of Bull Run Corporation for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002.

On December 17, 1999, Bull Run Corporation (“Bull Run”) acquired the stock of Host Communications, Inc. (“Host”), Universal Sports America, Inc. and Capital Sports Properties, Inc. not previously owned, directly or indirectly, by Bull Run (the “Host-USA Acquisition”). All operations of the acquired entities are now combined under Host.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Bull Run and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, unless the context otherwise requires, the “Company”), after elimination of intercompany accounts and transactions.

The Company changed its fiscal year end from June 30 to August 31. Future filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission will be submitted on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ending November 30, February 28 (or 29) and May 31, and on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending August 31, 2003.

Unless otherwise indicated, amounts provided in these notes to the consolidated financial statements pertain to continuing operations.

2. DISCONTINUED OPERATION

On September 29, 2000, the Company consummated the sale of the inventories, property and equipment and intangible assets of Datasouth Computer Corporation (“Datasouth”), a wholly owned subsidiary, for cash and an installment note payable. Accordingly, the operating results and net assets associated with Datasouth’s computer printer manufacturing business have been reported as discontinued operations in the accompanying financial statements. To the extent actual proceeds ultimately received on the sale differ from estimates that are reported as of August 31, 2002, such differences will be reported as discontinued operations in future periods.

Assets and liabilities of the discontinued operations have been reflected in the condensed consolidated balance sheets based on the original classification of the accounts, except that current assets are presented net of current liabilities.

No interest expense has been allocated to discontinued operations. There are no material contingent liabilities related to discontinued operations, such as product or environmental liabilities or litigation, that remained with the Company after the disposal of Datasouth’s assets.
