Management Discussion and Analysis (2004 Annual Report) “It will be very difficult, absent continued restructuring of i ts operations, for the Company to continue to fund its op erations on an ongoing basis or for the Company to beco me profitable if the overall industry revenue environment does not improve and fuel prices remain at historically hi gh levels for an extended period.”
AMR Summary Historically weak revenues and high operating costs High fuel prices Reduced credit rating (significantly below investment grade) Significant debt and severe liquidity problems Negative impact on firms ability to sustain operations over the long term. Recommendation: Sell
