(1) Numbers were provided by list published July 4, 2005.

(2) The acquisition of Adelphia by TimeWamer Inc. and Comcast
Corp. is reportedly set for early 2006.

Adelphia did not provide the number of employees in the Valley
and therefore could not be ranked.

Information was provided by the representatives of the companies
themselves.

In the case of a tie, companies were further ranked by the number
of nationwide employees for 2005. To the best of our knowledge,
this information is accurate as of press time. While every effort
is made to ensure the accuracy and thoroughness of the list,
omissions and typographical errors sometimes occur. Please send
corrections or additions on company letterhead to the Research
Department, San Fernando Business Journal, 21600 Oxnard St.,
