As reported in a press release dated September 28, 2001, Rural/Metro Corporation
(the "Company") previously reported that it will postpone the release of its
fiscal 2001 fourth quarter and year-end results pending the final analysis of an
estimated $150 million to $180 million in primarily non-cash charges relating to
goodwill, operational restructuring and closed operations. The Company is
conducting an extensive re-evaluation of its Argentina investment, of the
goodwill associated with its domestic base of business, of charges related to
operational restructuring, and a review of other matters that will require
additional time to complete. These events have delayed the preparation of the
Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2001.
