4 AMR EAGLE EYE August 30, 2001 Statements in this report contain various forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which represent the Company's expectations or beliefs concerning future events. When used in this report, the words "expect", "forecast", "anticipates" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. All such statements are based on information available to the Company on the date of this report. The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement, regardless of reason. This discussion includes forecasts of costs per ASM, capacity, traffic, fuel cost and fuel consumption, earnings, and operational considerations, each of which is a forward-looking statement. There are a number of factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our forecasts. Such factors include, but are not limited to: general economic conditions, competitive factors within the airline industry which could affect the demand for air travel, changes in the Company's business strategy, changes in commodity prices, the inability to successfully integrate the operations of TWA into those of American and to improve their profitability, higher than expected integration costs, and the inability to successfully integrate the workforce of TWA. For additional information regarding these and other factors see the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including but not limited to the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000. MONTHLY UPDATE Attached is our monthly guidance on unit cost, fuel, traffic and capacity. As with recent month's update, we are now including information for TWA LLC and have included TWA in the AMR unit cost guidance. As a follow-up to the recent series of aircraft retirement announcements, we have also attached an updated fleet plan for American and TWA LLC. Please call if you have additional questions.
