New Questions On Auditors For Adelphia

Date: 25 May 2002

By GERALDINE FABRIKANT

Geraldine FABRIKANT

New details about Rigas family's self-dealings are raising questions about how much Adelphia Communications' accountants and its audit committee knew about--and possibly ignored--conflicts that were created by transactions; in documents filed with Securities and Exchange Commission, Adelphia details dozens of transactions between Rigas family and company, from undisclosed loans that totaled about $130 million to support family-owned Buffalo Sabres hockey team to corporate purchase of 50 cars from Preston Cars, company controlled by Adelphia founder John J Rigas; filing reveals previously undisclosed deals, including one in which family bought for about $500,000 some 3,600 acres of land on which Adelphia had bought timber rights for $26.5 million; company invested $3 million in Songcatcher, film produced by Ellen Rigas Venetis, daughter of John Rigas; NFHLP, partnership owned by Rigas family that owns Buffalo Sabres, withdrew cash from cash fund within company to finance some of its investments in team; one of most significant questions raised by disclosures is why Deloitte & Touche, accountant for both company and family-controlled entities, did not inform Adelphia's audit committee that family was using company's credit lines to buy Adelphia stock (M)

By JANNY SCOTT

Janny SCOTT

Census Bureau figures show New York City residents in four of five boroughs spend more time getting to work than New Yorkers living anywhere else in state; average travel times for residents of Staten Island, Brooklyn, Bronx and Queens also exceed average trips to work in New Jersey, Conn and most of rest of country; New York City's standing as capital of interminable commuting comes as no surprise to those who study such things; analysts say problem is threefold: high rate of public transit ridership, high proportion of region's employment base working in central business district, and large amount of people working outside their own county; say New York City's sheer density and size is another factor; photos; charts (M)

New details about Rigas family's self-dealings are raising questions about how much Adelphia Communications' accountants and its audit committee knew about--and possibly ignored--conflicts that were created by transactions; in documents filed with Securities and Exchange Commission, Adelphia details dozens of transactions between Rigas family and company, from undisclosed loans that totaled about $130 million to support family-owned Buffalo Sabres hockey team to corporate purchase of 50 cars from Preston Cars, company controlled by Adelphia founder John J Rigas; filing reveals previously undisclosed deals, including one in which family bought for about $500,000 some 3,600 acres of land on which Adelphia had bought timber rights for $26.5 million; company invested $3 million in Songcatcher, film produced by Ellen Rigas Venetis, daughter of John Rigas; NFHLP, partnership owned by Rigas family that owns Buffalo Sabres, withdrew cash from cash fund within company to finance some of its investments in team; one of most significant questions raised by disclosures is why Deloitte & Touche, accountant for both company and family-controlled entities, did not inform Adelphia's audit committee that family was using company's credit lines to buy Adelphia stock (M)

Census Bureau figures show New York City residents in four of five boroughs spend more time getting to work than New Yorkers living anywhere else in state; average travel times for residents of Staten Island, Brooklyn, Bronx and Queens also exceed average trips to work in New Jersey, Conn and most of rest of country; New York City's standing as capital of interminable commuting comes as no surprise to those who study such things; analysts say problem is threefold: high rate of public transit ridership, high proportion of region's employment base working in central business district, and large amount of people working outside their own county; say New York City's sheer density and size is another factor; photos; charts (M)

Date: 24 May 2002

By DAVID E. SANGER

David SANGER

Pres Bush tells German Parliament that terrorist groups United States and its allies are hunting down constitute 'new totalitarian threat'; compares struggle to past generation's battle against those who 'killed in the name of racial purity,' clear reference to Hitler; seeks to reassure clearly skeptical Germans about his intentions as he pursues his next steps against terrorism, particularly in Iraq; his remarks are received politely, but his appearance is punctuated by demonstration by four members of former East German Communist party who unveil banner saying 'Stop Your Wars'; during joint news conference with Chancellor Gerhard Schroder, Bush promises to consult with Germany and other allies before taking action against Iraq and its suspected weapons of mass destruction, but he makes clear he will not back off; Schroder, who faces tough election fight this fall, continues to distance himself from Bush's clear willingness to use military action to unseat Saddam Hussein of Iraq; photos (M)
