    Note: This comparable information is provided solely for the
purpose of additional analysis of the results of the Company including
the results of the Herb acquisition as if acquired on January 1, 2001,
excluding nonrecurring items, including the effects of the change in
accounting method adopted as of January 1, 2001, excluding franchise
amortization as if FASB Statement 142 was adopted as of January 1,
2001, and reflecting the current business arrangement with The
Coca-Cola Company regarding local media expenses, described on page 21
of the Company's 2001 Annual Report, as of January 1, 2001. The
presentation is not intended to be in conformity with the rules
governing the preparation of pro forma financial information, nor is
it intended to be a forecast of future operating results.

    (a) Second-quarter 2001 results exclude a nonrecurring reduction
        in income taxes of $46 million, exclude franchise amortization
        of $98 million and the related income tax effect, reclassify
        approximately $11 million of local media expenses to
        reductions in net operating revenues and include the results
        of the Herb acquisition. The addition of the Herb acquisition
        resulted in an increase in EBITDA of $43 million, an increase
        in operating income of $31 million, and a decrease to net
        income of $10 million.

    (b) As described on page 28 of the Company's 2001 Annual Report,
        approximately $26 million of selling expenses have been
        reclassified as deductions from net operating revenue in
        accordance with EITF 01-09.

    (c) Basic and diluted shares outstanding have been adjusted to
        reflect the balances that would have been outstanding had the
        shares issued in connection with the Herb acquisition been
        outstanding as of January 1, 2001. Per share data calculated
