 Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,”
 “estimate,” “intend,” “forecast,” “may,” “should”, “could”, “project,” “outlook” and similar
 expressions identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are
 based on management’s current expectations, estimates and projections and speak only as
 of the date of this presentation. Forward-looking statements are subject to known and
 unknown risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results in the future to differ
 materially from the results projected or implied in any forward-looking statements contained
 in this presentation. The factors that could affect future results and could cause these results
 to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements include, but are
 not limited to, those described under Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of the Company’s Annual
 Report on Form 10-K for the year ended July 25, 2009, and other risks outlined in the
 Company’s periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Except
 as required by law, the Company may not update forward-looking statements even though
 its situation may change in the future.
 This presentation includes certain “Non-GAAP” financial measures as defined by SEC rules.
 As required by the SEC we have provided a reconciliation of those measures to the most
 directly comparable GAAP measures on the Regulation G slide included at the end of this

“We are taking our U-verse build, which is our IPTV build, the broadband capability
that we have been deploying, and we are going to get to 30 million homes by the
end of next year. We are actually moving that build out to cover more of our small
business locations. We have a fairly aggressive plan to get the U-verse build in
front of a lot of small businesses, integrate the high-bandwidth product with a
mobile product, and we think it is going to be pretty powerful.”
