the bounds of our knowledge of our business and operations, there can be no assurance that actual
results will not differ materially from our expectations. Factors that could cause actual results to differ
from expectations include:

· adverse economic changes in the markets served by SBC, or countries in which SBC has

significant investments;

· changes in available technology and the effects of such changes, including product

substitutions and deployment costs;


· uncertainty in the U.S. securities market and adverse medical cost trends;

· enactment of additional state, Federal and/or foreign regulatory laws and regulations pertaining

to our subsidiaries and foreign investments;

· our ability to absorb revenue losses caused by UNE-P requirements and increasing competition

· the extent of competition in our 13-state area and the resulting pressure on access line totals

and wireline and wireless operating margins;

· our ability to develop attractive and profitable product/service offerings to offset increasing

competition in our wireline and wireless markets;

· the ability of our competitors to offer product/service offerings at lower prices due to adverse

regulatory decisions, including state regulatory proceedings relating to UNE-Ps and non-
regulation of comparable alternative technologies (e.g., VoIP);

SBC COMMUNICATIONS INC.
SBC was formed as one of several regional holding companies created to hold AT&T Corp.'s local
telephone companies. We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on October 5,
1983. On January 1, 1984, we were spun-off from AT&T pursuant to an anti-trust consent decree,
becoming an independent publicly traded telecommunications services provider. At formation, we
primarily operated in five southwestern states. SBC subsidiaries merged with Pacific Telesis Group in
1997, Southern New England Telecommunications Corporation in 1998 and Ameritech Corporation in
1999. We are among the largest telecommunications companies in the United States and the world.
Our subsidiaries and affiliates operate in the communications services industry both domestically and
worldwide providing wireline and wireless telecommunications services and equipment as well as
directory advertising and publishing. We divide our business into the following groups:


· wireline, which is primarily land- and wire-based services;


· Cingular, which is primarily radio wave-based services;


· directory, which is directory advertising and electronic publishing;


· international, which is our investments in foreign countries; and


· other, which is primarily corporate and other operations.
Wireline
Our wireline group primarily sells local and long distance telephone service in California, Texas, Illinois,
Michigan, Ohio, Missouri, Connecticut, Indiana, Wisconsin, Oklahoma, Kansas, Arkansas and Nevada.
We serve approximately 54 million access lines in this 13-state area. We also sell access to our
network to other telephone carriers, internet services and communications equipment. This group is
regulated by each of the 13 states mentioned above and by the Federal Communications Commission.
Cingular
Our Cingular group sells local, long distance and roaming services. In the fourth quarter of 2000, we
contributed substantially all our wireless businesses to Cingular Wireless LLC, our joint venture with
BellSouth Corporation. We own a 60 percent economic interest in the joint venture and control is
shared equally. Cingular serves approximately 25 million customers. In February 2004, Cingular
announced an agreement to acquire AT&T Wireless for approximately $41 billion. We expect this
transaction to close in 2004.
