        On December 23, 2004, Adelphia Communications Corporation (the "Company") and certain other debtor-in-possession subsidiaries of the Company filed their unaudited consolidated Monthly Operating Report (the "Adelphia Operating Report") for the month of November 2004 with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the "Bankruptcy Court"). Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K contains the unaudited consolidated financial statements and the Bankruptcy Court reporting schedules set forth in the Adelphia Operating Report as filed with the Bankruptcy Court.

        On December 23, 2004, Century-ML Cable Venture ("Century-ML") filed its unaudited Monthly Operating Report (the "Century-ML Operating Report," and together with the Adelphia Operating Report, the "Operating Reports") for the month of November 2004 with the Bankruptcy Court. Century-ML is a joint venture partnership between ML Media Partners, L.P. and Century Communications Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Exhibit 99.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K contains the unaudited financial statements and the Bankruptcy Court reporting schedules set forth in the Century-ML Operating Report as filed with the Bankruptcy Court.

        The Company cautions readers not to place undue reliance upon the information contained in the Operating Reports, which contain unaudited information, and are in the format prescribed by applicable bankruptcy laws. The Operating Reports are subject to revision. The Operating Reports also contain information for periods that may be shorter or otherwise different from those contained in the Company's reports pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act").

Limitation on Incorporation by Reference

        In accordance with general instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, the Operating Reports and the other information contained in this report (including exhibits) that is being furnished pursuant to Item 7.01 of Form 8-K shall not be deemed to be "filed" for the purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act or otherwise subject to liabilities of that section, nor shall they be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), except as expressly set forth in such filing. This report will not be deemed an admission as to the materiality of any information in the report that is required to be disclosed solely by Regulation FD.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

        This report includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. All statements regarding the Company's and its subsidiaries' and affiliates' expected future financial position, results of operations, cash flows, process for sale of the Company, restructuring and financing plans, expected emergence from bankruptcy, business strategy, budgets, projected costs, capital expenditures, network upgrades, products and services, competitive positions, growth opportunities, plans and objectives of management for future operations, as well as statements that include words such as "anticipate," "if," "believe," "plan," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "may," "could," "should," "will," and other similar expressions are forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are inherently uncertain, and readers must recognize that actual results may differ materially from the Company's expectations. The Company does not undertake a duty to update such forward-looking statements. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include those discussed under the heading "Risk Factors" in the Company's 2003 Form 10-K and the Company's pending bankruptcy proceeding, results of litigation against the Company and government investigations of the Company, the effects of government regulation including the actions of local cable franchising authorities, the availability of financing, actions of the Company's competitors, results and impacts of the process to sell the Company or its assets, pricing and availability of programming, equipment, supplies, and other inputs, the Company's ability to upgrade its network, technological developments, and changes in general economic conditions. Many of these factors are outside of the Company's control.
