Combined Financial Statements
For the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000

Report of Independent Auditors

The Board of Directors of
Warner Communications Inc.

We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheet of Time Warner Entertainment Company, L.P. (“TWE”) — Content Businesses (“Content Businesses”) as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the related combined statements of operations, divisional equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2002. These financial statements are the responsibility of TWE’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the combined financial position of the Content Businesses at December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the combined results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2002, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

As discussed in Note 1 to the accompanying combined financial statements, in 2000 the Content Businesses changed its film accounting method and in 2002 the Content Businesses changed its method of accounting for goodwill and intangible assets.

NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

Description of Business

AOL Time Warner Inc. (“AOL Time Warner”) was formed in connection with the merger of America Online, Inc. (“AOL”) and Time Warner Inc. (“Time Warner”), which was consummated in January 2001 (the “Merger”). A majority of AOL Time Warner’s interests in cable television systems (“TWE Cable”) and all of its interests in Warner Bros., Home Box Office (“HBO”), The WB Network, Comedy Partners, L.P. and Courtroom Television Network, LLC. (collectively the “Content Businesses”) were held through Time Warner Entertainment Company, L.P. (“TWE”). AOL Time Warner owned general and limited partnership interests in TWE consisting of 72.36% of the pro rata priority capital and residual equity capital and 100% of the junior priority capital. The remaining 27.64% limited partnership interests in the priority capital and residual equity capital were held by subsidiaries of Comcast Corporation (“Comcast”).

On March 31, 2003, AOL Time Warner and Comcast completed the previously announced restructuring of TWE (“TWE Restructuring”). In connection with the TWE Restructuring, AOL Time Warner assumed complete ownership of TWE’s Content Businesses, which were transferred to Warner Communications Inc. (“WCI”), a wholly owned subsidiary of AOL Time Warner.

The interests of the Content Businesses are classified into two fundamental areas: Filmed Entertainment, consisting principally of interests in filmed entertainment and television production; and Networks, consisting principally of interests in cable television and broadcast network programming.

Basis of Presentation

The combined financial statements of the Content Businesses are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The combined financial statements reflect the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses directly attributable to the Content Businesses. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Significant accounts and transactions between the Content Businesses and its partners and affiliates are disclosed as related party transactions (Note 13). The financial information included herein may not necessarily reflect the combined financial statements of the Content Businesses in the future or what they would have been had the Content Businesses been a separate, standalone entity during the periods presented. Earnings per share has not been presented as the Content Businesses are a component of AOL Time Warner and earnings per share data is not considered meaningful for this presentation.

New Accounting Principles

Variable Interest Entities

Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (“FIN 46”) requires variable interest entities (commonly referred to as SPE’s) to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary of the entity if certain criteria are met. FIN 46 is effective immediately for all new variable interest entities created or acquired beginning February 1, 2003. For variable interest entities created or acquired prior to February 1, 2003, the provisions of FIN 46 become effective during the third quarter of 2003. The adoption of FIN 46 is not expected to have a material impact on the Content Businesses’ combined financial statements.

Exit and Disposal Activities

FASB Statement No. 146 “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities” (“FAS 146”) requires that a liability associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized and measured at fair value only when incurred. In addition, one-time termination benefits should be recognized over the period employees will render service, if the service period required is beyond a minimum retention period. FAS 146 is effective for exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. The provisions of FAS 146 are not expected to have a material impact on the Content Businesses’ combined financial statements.

TIME WARNER ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY, L.P. — CONTENT BUSINESSES
NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

Multiple Element Arrangements

In November 2002, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) reached a consensus on EITF No. 00-21, “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables” (“EITF 00-21”). EITF 00-21 provides guidance on how to account for arrangements that involve the delivery or performance of multiple products, services and/or rights to use assets. The provisions of EITF 00-21 will apply to revenue arrangements entered into in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2003. Management believes that the Content Businesses’ current accounting is consistent with the provisions of EITF 00-21 and therefore does not expect the application of the provisions of EITF 00-21 to have a material impact on the Content Businesses’ combined financial statements.

Consideration Received from a Vendor by a Customer

EITF No. 02-16, “Accounting for Consideration Received from a Vendor by a Customer” (“EITF 02-16”) provides guidance as to how customers should account for cash consideration received from a vendor. EITF 02-16 presumes that cash received from a vendor represents a reduction of the price of the vendor’s product or service, unless the cash received represents payment for assets or services provided to the vendor or reimbursement of costs incurred by the customer to sell the vendor’s products. The provisions of EITF 02-16 will apply to all agreements entered into or modified after December 31, 2002. The provisions of EITF 02-16 are not expected to have a material impact on the Content Businesses’ combined financial statements.

Guarantees

In November 2002, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 145, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others” (“FIN 45”). FIN 45 requires that a liability be recorded in the guarantor’s balance sheet upon issuance of a guarantee. In addition, FIN 45 requires disclosures about the guarantees that an entity has issued, including a reconciliation of changes in the entity’s product warranty liabilities. The initial recognition and initial measurement provisions of FIN 45 are applicable on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002, irrespective of the guarantor’s fiscal year-end. The initial recognition and initial measurement provisions of FIN 45 did not have a material impact on the combined financial statements of the Content Businesses.

Derivatives

In April 2003, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 149, “Amendments of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“FAS 149”). FAS 149 amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including derivative instruments embedded in other contracts (collectively referred to as derivatives) and for hedging activities under FASB Statement No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“FAS 133”). FAS 149 is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003. Management does not believe that adoption of the provisions of this statement will have a material impact on the Content Businesses’ combined financial statements.

Financial Instruments

In May 2003, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity” (“FAS 150”). FAS 150 establishes standards to classify and measure certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It requires a company to classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances). Many of those instruments were previously classified as equity. Management does not believe that adoption of the provisions of this statement will have a material impact on the Content Businesses’ combined financial statements.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Accounting for Investments

Investments in which the Content Businesses have a significant influence, but less than a controlling voting interest, are accounted for using the equity method. This is generally presumed to exist when the Content Businesses own between 20% and 50% of the investee. Investments in which the Content Businesses do not have a controlling interest, or an ownership and voting interest so large as to exert significant influence, are accounted for as available-for-sale securities at market value if the investments are publicly traded and there are no resale restrictions greater than one year. If there are resale restrictions greater than one year, or if the investment is not publicly traded, then the investment is accounted for at cost.

TIME WARNER ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY, L.P. — CONTENT BUSINESSES
NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS- (Continued)

Unrealized gains and losses on investments accounted for at market value are reported in the accompanying combined statement of divisional equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until the investment is sold, at which time the realized gain or loss is included in income. Dividends and other distributions of earnings from both market value and investments accounted for at cost are included in income when declared.

A judgmental aspect of accounting for investments involves determining whether an other-than-temporary decline in the value of an investment has been sustained. If it has been determined that an investment has sustained an other-than-temporary decline in its value, the investment is written down to its fair value, by a charge to earnings. Such evaluation is dependent on the specific facts and circumstances. Factors considered include the market value of the security in relation to its cost basis; the financial condition of the investee; and the intent and ability to retain the investment for a sufficient period of time to allow for recovery in the market value of the investment.

In evaluating the factors above for available-for-sale securities, management presumes a decline in value to be other-than-temporary if the quoted market price of the security is 20% or more below the investment’s cost basis for a period of six months or more (the “20% criteria”) or the quoted market price of the security is 50% or more below the security’s cost basis at any quarter end (the “50% criteria”). However, the presumption of an other-than-temporary decline in these instances may be overcome if there is persuasive evidence indicating that the decline is temporary in nature (e.g., strong operating performance of investee, historical volatility of investee, etc.). In addition, there may be instances where impairment losses are recognized even if the 20% and 50% criteria are not satisfied (e.g., plan to sell the security in the near term and the fair value is below the cost basis).

For investments accounted for using the cost or equity method of accounting, management evaluates information (e.g., budgets, business plans, financial statements, etc.) in addition to quoted market price, if any, in determining whether an other-than-temporary decline in value exists. Factors indicative of an other-than-temporary decline include recurring operating losses, credit defaults and subsequent rounds of financing at an amount below the cost basis of the investment. This list is not all inclusive and management weighs all quantitative and qualitative factors in determining if an other-than-temporary decline in value of an investment has occurred.

The Content Businesses have certain financing arrangements with Special Purpose Entities (“SPEs”) that provide for the accelerated receipt of cash on available accounts receivables and licensing contracts. These securitization transactions are accounted for as a sale in accordance with FAS 140 because the Content Businesses relinquished control of the receivables. Since the Content Businesses have relinquished control over these receivables and do not control the Qualifying SPE that holds the receivables, the amounts held in these securitization facilities are not included in the combined financial statements of the Content Businesses.

Foreign Currency Translation

The financial position and operating results of substantially all foreign operations are reported using the local currency as the functional currency. Local currency assets and liabilities are translated at the rates of exchange on the balance sheet date, and local currency revenues and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange during the period. Resulting translation gains or losses are included in the accompanying combined statement of divisional equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

Business Combinations

Business combinations have been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. Business combinations which have been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting include the results of operations of the acquired business from the effective date of acquisition. The cost to acquire companies, including transaction costs, have been allocated to the underlying net assets of the acquired company in proportion to their respective fair values. Any excess of the purchase price over estimated fair values of the net assets acquired has been recorded as goodwill. In certain purchase business combinations, the Content Businesses may review the operations of the acquired company and implement plans to restructure its operations. As a result, the Content Businesses may accrue a liability related to these restructuring plans using the criteria prescribed in EITF Issue No. 95-3, “Recognition of Liabilities in Connection with a Purchase Business Combination.” The impact of accruing these liabilities in connection with a purchase business combination is that the related cost is reflected as a liability assumed in the acquisition and results in additional goodwill as opposed to being included as a charge in the current period determination of income.

Cumulative Effect of Change in Film Accounting Principle

The Content Businesses adopted the provisions of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“AICPA”) Statement of Position (“SOP”) 00-2, “Accounting by Producers or Distributors of Films” retroactively to the beginning of 2000. As a result, 2000 net income includes a one-time, non-cash charge of $524 million, primarily to reduce the carrying value of film inventory.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and footnotes thereto. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Significant estimates inherent in the preparation of the accompanying combined financial statements include management’s forecast of anticipated revenues and cash flows from investments, the sale of future and existing consumer products, as well as from the distribution of theatrical and television product, in order to evaluate the ultimate recoverability of accounts receivable, film inventory and investments recorded as assets in the combined balance sheet. Sales of home video product in the filmed entertainment industry are subject to customers’ rights to return unsold items.

Management periodically reviews such estimates and it is reasonably possible that management’s assessment of recoverability of accounts receivable, individual films and television product and investments may change based on actual results or other factors.

TIME WARNER ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY, L.P. — CONTENT BUSINESSES
NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

Revenues and Costs

Networks

Network revenues are primarily derived from subscriber fees and advertising. Subscriber fees are recorded as revenues in the period the service is provided and advertising revenues are recognized in the period that the advertisements are exhibited. The costs of rights to exhibit feature films and other programming on pay cable services during one or more availability periods (“programming costs”) generally are recorded as inventory when the programming is initially available for exhibition, and are allocated to the appropriate availability periods and amortized as the programming is exhibited.

Filmed Entertainment

Feature films are produced or acquired for initial exhibition in theaters followed by distribution in the home video, pay cable, basic cable, broadcast network and syndicated television markets. Generally, distribution to the theatrical, home video and pay cable markets (the primary markets) is completed within eighteen months of initial release. Thereafter, feature films are distributed to the basic cable, broadcast network and syndicated television markets (the secondary markets). Theatrical revenues are recognized as the films are exhibited. Home video revenues, less a provision for returns, are recognized when the home videos are sold. Revenues from the distribution of theatrical product to cable, broadcast network and syndicated television markets are recognized when the films are available to telecast.

Television films and series are initially produced for the broadcast networks, cable networks or first-run television syndication (the primary markets) and may be subsequently licensed to foreign or domestic cable and syndicated television markets (the secondary markets). Revenues from the distribution of television product are recognized when the films or series are available to telecast, except for barter agreements where the recognition of revenue is deferred until the related advertisements are exhibited.

License agreements for the telecast of theatrical and television product in the cable, broadcast network and syndicated television markets are routinely entered into well in advance of their available date for telecast, which is generally determined by the telecast privileges granted under previous license agreements. Accordingly, there are significant contractual rights to receive cash and barter under these licensing agreements. For cash contracts, the related revenues will not be recognized until such product is available for telecast under the contractual terms of the related license agreement. For barter contracts, the related revenues will not be recognized until the product is available for telecast and the advertising spots received under such contracts are either used or sold to third parties. All of these contractual rights for which revenue is not yet recognizable is referred to as “backlog.”

Inventories of theatrical and television product are stated at the lower of unamortized cost or net realizable value. Cost principally consists of direct production costs and production overhead. A portion of the cost to acquire Time Warner in 2001, including Time Warner’s interest in the Content Businesses, was allocated to its theatrical and television product, including an allocation to purchased program rights and product that had been exhibited at least once in all markets (“Library”). Library product is amortized on a straight-line basis over twenty years, which approximates the use of the film-forecast method. Individual films and series are amortized, and the related participations and residuals are accrued, based on the proportion that current revenues from the film or series bear to an estimate of total revenues anticipated from all markets. These estimates are revised periodically and losses, if any, are provided in full.

TIME WARNER ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY, L.P. — CONTENT BUSINESSES
NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

Advertising Costs

The Content Businesses expense advertising costs for theatrical and television production as incurred, in accordance with SOP 00-2. Other advertising costs are expensed upon the first exhibition of the advertisement, in accordance with SOP 93-7, “Reporting on Advertising Costs.” Advertising expense was $1.7 billion in 2002, $1.4 billion in 2001 and $1.3 billion in 2000.

Cash and Equivalents

Cash equivalents consist of commercial paper and other investments that are readily convertible into cash and have original maturities of three months or less. Cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair value.

Derivatives and Financial Instruments

The Content Businesses account for derivatives in accordance with FAS 133. FAS 133 requires that all derivative instruments be recognized on the balance sheet at fair value. In addition, FAS 133 provides that for derivative instruments that qualify for hedge accounting, changes in the fair value will either be offset against the change in fair value of the hedged assets, liabilities, or firm commitments through earnings or recognized in the accompanying combined statement of divisional equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until the hedged item is recognized in earnings, depending on whether the derivative is being used to hedge changes in fair value or cash flows. The ineffective portion of a derivative’s change in fair value is immediately recognized in earnings. The adoption of FAS 133 did not have a material effect on the Content Businesses’ combined financial statements (Note 10).

The carrying value of the Content Businesses’ financial instruments approximates fair value, except for certain differences relating to investments accounted for at cost and other financial instruments that are not significant (Note 4). The fair value of financial instruments is generally determined by reference to market values resulting from trading on a national securities exchange or in an over-the-counter market. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided generally on the straight-line method over useful lives ranging up to thirty years for buildings and improvements and up to sixteen years for furniture, fixtures and other equipment. Property, plant and equipment consists of:

The Content Businesses periodically review the carrying value of its long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. To the extent fair value of a long-lived asset, determined based upon the estimated future cash inflows attributable to the asset, less estimated future cash outflows, are less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

FASB Statement No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“FAS 142”) addresses the accounting that must be applied to goodwill and intangible assets subsequent to their initial recognition. Among the most significant changes from previous rules include: (1) goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are no longer amortized; (2) goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment at least annually; and (3) the amortization period of intangible assets that have finite lives are no longer limited to forty years.

TIME WARNER ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY, L.P. — CONTENT BUSINESSES
NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

Amortization of goodwill and intangible assets was $144 million in 2002, $768 million in 2001 and $127 million in 2000. Accumulated amortization of goodwill and intangible assets at December 31, 2002 was $1.109 billion and $966 million at December 31, 2001. The Content Businesses will continue to amortize intangible assets that are deemed to have a finite useful life, including film and television libraries and customer lists, which are amortized over average useful lives of 20 and 5 years, respectively. However, goodwill and certain intangible assets, including brands and trademarks, are no longer amortized. Instead, goodwill and certain intangible assets are assessed for impairment using fair value measurement techniques.

Specifically, goodwill impairment is determined using a two-step process. The first step of the goodwill impairment test is used to identify potential impairment by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is considered not impaired and the second step of the impairment test is unnecessary. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step of the goodwill impairment test is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any. The second step of the goodwill impairment test compares the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of the goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. The implied fair value of the reporting unit is allocated to all of the assets and liabilities of that unit (including any unrecognized intangible assets) as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination and the fair value of the reporting unit was the purchase price paid to acquire the reporting unit.

Impairment tests for intangible assets not subject to amortization consist of a comparison of the fair value of the intangible asset with its carrying value. If the carrying value of the intangible asset exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. For intangible assets subject to amortization, to the extent the fair value of the intangible asset, determined based upon the estimated future cash inflows attributable to the asset less estimated future cash outflows, is less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are provided for using the liability method prescribed by FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” Under the liability method, deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effect of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial statement and income tax purposes, as determined under enacted tax laws and rates.

The Content Businesses are generally not subject to U.S. federal, state or local income taxation. However, certain operations of the Content Businesses are conducted by subsidiary corporations, which are subject to domestic and/or foreign taxation.

Stock-Based Compensation

AOL Time Warner has various stock option plans under which it may grant options to purchase AOL Time Warner common stock to employees of AOL Time Warner and its subsidiaries, including employees of the Content Businesses. AOL Time Warner follows the provisions of FASB Statement No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“FAS 123”). The provisions of FAS 123 allow companies to either expense the estimated fair value of stock options or to continue to follow the intrinsic value method set forth in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB 25”) but disclose the pro forma effects on net income (loss) had the fair value of the options been expensed. AOL Time Warner has elected to continue to apply APB 25 in accounting for its stock option incentive plans (Note 8).

In accordance with APB 25 and related interpretations, compensation expense for stock options is recognized in income based on the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the stock at the grant date of the award or other measurement date over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock. Generally, the exercise price for stock options granted to employees of the Content Businesses equals or exceeds the fair market value of AOL Time Warner common stock at the date of grant, thereby resulting in no recognition of compensation expense by AOL Time Warner, nor charged to the Content Businesses. For awards that generate compensation expense as defined under APB 25, AOL Time Warner calculates the amount of compensation expense and recognizes the expense over the vesting period of the award and charges the Content Businesses for these awards.

FASB Statement No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure” (“FAS 148”) provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. FAS 148 also requires that disclosures of the pro forma effect of using the fair value method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation be displayed more prominently and in a tabular format. Had stock options been included in the combined statement of operations, the Content Businesses’ allocable share of compensation cost would have reduced net income (loss) to the pro forma amounts indicated below:

2. GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Upon adoption of FAS 142 in the first quarter of 2002, the Content Businesses recorded a one-time, noncash charge of $4.995 billion to reduce the carrying value of goodwill. The impairment charge was associated solely with goodwill resulting from the Merger. This charge is reflected as a cumulative effect of an accounting change in the accompanying combined statement of operations. The impairment charge did not affect the Content Businesses’ liquidity or result in the non-compliance of any financial covenants.

Prior to performing the review for impairment, FAS 142 required that all goodwill deemed to be related to the entity as a whole be assigned to all of AOL Time Warner’s reporting units, including the reporting units of the acquirer. As a result, effective January 1, 2002, $744 million of goodwill related to the Merger, which was previously allocated to other segments of AOL Time Warner, was reallocated to the Content Businesses.

A summary of changes in the Content Businesses’ goodwill during the year ended 2002, and total assets at December 31, 2002, by business segment is as follows (millions):

(a)

Accumulated amortization for intangible assets not subject to amortization relates to amortization expense recognized prior to the adoption of FAS 142.

The Content Businesses recorded amortization expense for intangible assets of $144 million in 2002, $768 million in 2001 and $127 million in 2000. Based on the current amount of intangible assets subject to amortization, the estimated amortization expense for each of the succeeding five years is as follows: 2003: $145 million; 2004: $145 million; 2005: $145 million; 2006: $183 million; and 2007: $183 million. As acquisitions and dispositions occur in the future and as purchase price allocations are finalized, these amounts may vary.

The 2001 and 2000 financial results do not reflect the provisions of FAS 142. Had the Content Businesses adopted FAS 142 on January 1, 2000, the historical net income would have been changed to the adjusted amounts indicated below (millions):

3. MERGER AND RESTRUCTURING COSTS

Merger Costs Capitalized as Cost of Acquisition

In connection with the Merger, AOL Time Warner reviewed its operations and implemented several plans to restructure its operations (“restructuring plans”). As a result, the Content Businesses recorded a restructuring liability of $168 million during 2001. The restructuring liability included costs to exit certain activities and costs to reduce the work force. Such amounts were recognized as liabilities assumed in a purchase business combination and included in the allocation of the cost to acquire Time Warner. Accordingly, such amounts resulted in additional goodwill being recorded in connection with the Merger.

TIME WARNER ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY, L.P. — CONTENT BUSINESSES
NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

Of the total restructuring costs, $55 million related to work force reductions and represented employee termination benefits. Employee terminations ranged from senior executives to line personnel. The number of employees initially identified to be involuntarily terminated or relocated approximated 420. As of December 31, 2002, all of the terminations had occurred. Because certain employees can defer receipt of termination benefits, cash payments may continue after the employee has been terminated (generally for periods up to 24 months). Employee termination payments of $15 million were made in 2001 and $13 million were made in 2002. In addition during 2002, there were non-cash reductions in the restructuring accrual of $5 million, as actual employee termination payments were less than amounts originally estimated.

The restructuring charge also includes approximately $113 million associated with exiting certain under-performing operations, including the Studio Stores operation included in the Filmed Entertainment segment. The restructuring accrual associated with these exit activities specifically includes incremental costs and contractual obligations for items such as leasehold termination payments and other facility exit costs incurred as a direct result of these plans. Payments related to exit activities were approximately $71 million in 2001 and $21 million in 2002.

Selected information relating to the restructuring plans follows (in millions):

Initial accruals	$	55		$	113		$	168

Restructuring liability as of December 31, 2002	$	22		$	21		$	43

(a)

Non-cash reductions represent adjustments to the original restructuring accrual and a corresponding change in goodwill, as actual costs related to employee terminations and other exit costs differed from original estimates.

4. INVESTMENTS, INCLUDING AVAILABLE-FOR-SALE SECURITIES

TIME WARNER ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY, L.P. — CONTENT BUSINESSES
NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

Equity-Method Investments

At December 31, 2002, investments accounted for using the equity method and the voting ownership percentage held by the Content Businesses included: Comedy Partners, L.P. and Courtroom Television Network, LLC. (both 50% owned) and certain programming joint ventures (generally 25-50% owned). A summary of combined financial information as reported by the equity investees of the Content Businesses is set forth below:

The above table represents the combined financial information of entities in which the Content Businesses have an investment accounted for using the equity method of accounting. These amounts are not the amounts reflected on the accompanying combined financial statements. Consistent with the Content Businesses’ accounting policy for equity investments, as described in Note 1, it has included approximately $857 million in “Investments, including available-for-sale securities” on the accompanying December 31, 2002 combined balance sheet, representing the Content Businesses’ investment in and amounts due to and from the equity investee. Similarly, the Content Businesses recorded $9 million of income in Other Income (Expense) net, in the accompanying combined statement of operations, representing the Content Businesses’ share in the income of the investees in 2002. The Content Businesses had recorded a net loss of $58 million in 2001 and net loss of $13 million in 2000 from those equity investees.

Under the purchase method of accounting, the cost to acquire Time Warner was allocated to its underlying net assets, including investments accounted for using the equity method of accounting, based on their estimated fair values. As a result, the Content Businesses’ equity method investments were adjusted upward by approximately $600 million. These adjustments, which approximated the difference between the Content Businesses’ carrying value in the investees and the underlying equity in the net assets of the investees, were amortized on a straight-line basis over a weighted-average useful life of 10 years. However, upon adoption of FAS 142 in the first quarter of 2002, AOL Time Warner ceased amortizing goodwill included in the carrying value of investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting.

Gains on Sale of Interest in CanalSatellite

During 2000, Warner Bros. recognized a net pretax, investment-related gain of approximately $65 million, principally relating to additional proceeds received in 2000 in connection with the 1999 sale of an interest in CanalSatellite. This gain has been included in other expense, net, in the accompanying combined statement of operations in 2000.

(b)		Current inventory as of December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001 is comprised of programming inventory at the Networks segment ($717 million and $694 million, respectively) and videocassettes and DVDs at the Filmed Entertainment segment ($154 million and $158 million, respectively).

Excluding the film library, approximately 93% of unamortized film costs for released films is expected to be amortized within three years, of which approximately $786 million of released and completed and not released films is expected to be amortized in 2003.

6. FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS

Financing Arrangements

From time to time, AOL Time Warner enters into various financing arrangements with special purpose entities (“SPEs”). These arrangements include facilities which provide for the accelerated receipt of cash on certain accounts receivable and backlog licensing contracts. The Content Businesses employ these arrangements because they provide a cost-efficient form of financing, including certain tax benefits. The Content Businesses are able to realize cost efficiencies under these arrangements since the assets securing the financing are held by a legally separate, bankruptcy-remote SPE and provide direct security for the funding being provided. These facilities generally have relatively short-term maturities. The assets and financing associated with these arrangements, which are discussed in more detail in the following paragraphs, generally qualify for off-balance sheet treatment.

Accounts Receivable Securitization Facilities

During 2002, the Content Businesses participated in two of AOL Time Warner’s accounts receivable securitization facilities that provided for the accelerated receipt of approximately $800 million of cash on available accounts receivables, including a $350 million accounts receivable securitization facility that matured during the fourth quarter of 2002 and was not renewed. In connection with these facilities, the Content Businesses sold, on a revolving and nonrecourse basis, certain of its accounts receivables (“Pooled Receivables”) to a qualifying SPE, which in turn sold a percentage ownership interest in the Pooled Receivables to third-party commercial paper conduits sponsored by financial institutions. These securitization transactions are accounted for as a sale in accordance with FASB Statement No. 140 “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities” (“FAS 140”), because the Content Businesses relinquished control of the receivables. Accordingly, accounts receivable sold under these facilities are excluded from receivables in the accompanying combined balance sheet.

As proceeds for the accounts receivables sold to the qualifying SPE, the Content Businesses received cash, for which there is no obligation to repay, and an interest-bearing retained beneficial interest, which is included in receivables on the accompanying combined balance sheet. In addition, the Content Businesses service the Pooled Receivables on behalf of the qualifying SPE.

TIME WARNER ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY, L.P. — CONTENT BUSINESSES
NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

Income received by the Content Businesses in exchange for this service is equal to the prevailing market rate for such service and has not been material in any period. The retained beneficial interest, which has been adjusted to reflect the portion that is not expected to be collectible, bears an interest rate that varies with the prevailing market interest rates. For this reason, and because the accounts receivables underlying the retained ownership interest that were sold to the qualifying SPE are generally short term in nature, the fair value of the notes receivable approximated its carrying value at December 31, 2002 and at December 31, 2001. The retained beneficial interest related to the sale of Pooled Receivables to a qualifying SPE is reflected in accounts receivables, net on the Content Businesses’ combined balance sheet and was $481 million at December 31, 2002 and $416 million at December 31, 2001. In 2002, additional net proceeds received from the Content Businesses’ accounts receivable from its accounts receivable securitization programs were not material. In 2001, additional net proceeds for the accounts receivables sold to the qualifying SPE were $116 million.

Backlog Securitization Facility

The Content Businesses also have a backlog securitization facility, which effectively provides for the accelerated receipt of up to $500 million of cash on available licensing contracts. Assets securitized under this facility consist of cash contracts for the licensing of theatrical and television product for broadcast network and syndicated television exhibition, under which revenues have not been recognized because such product is not available for telecast until a later date (“Backlog Contracts”). In connection with this securitization facility, the Content Businesses sell, on a revolving and nonrecourse basis, certain of its Backlog Contracts (“Pooled Backlog Contracts”) to a qualifying SPE, which in turn sells a percentage ownership interest in the Pooled Backlog Contracts to a third-party commercial paper conduit sponsored by a financial institution. As of December 31, 2002, the Content Businesses did not have any unused capacity under this facility.

Because the Backlog Contracts securitized under this facility consist of cash contracts for the licensing of theatrical and television product that have already been produced, the recognition of revenue for such completed product is dependent only upon the commencement of the availability period for telecast under the terms of the licensing agreements. Accordingly, the proceeds received under the program are classified as deferred revenues in long-term liabilities in the accompanying combined balance sheet. The amount of related deferred revenues reflected on the Content Businesses’ accompanying combined balance sheet related to the backlog securitization facility was $500 million and $442 million at December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively. Total filmed entertainment backlog contracts outstanding were approximately $3.2 billion and $3.8 billion at December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively.

Rating Triggers and Financial Covenants

Each of the Content Businesses’ financing arrangements with SPEs contain customary covenants. A breach of such covenants in the financing arrangements that continues beyond any grace period constitutes a termination event which can limit the facility as a future source of liquidity; however, there would be no claims on the Content Businesses for the receivables or backlog contracts previously sold. As of December 31, 2002, and through the date of this filing, the Content Businesses were in compliance with all covenants. Management does not anticipate any difficulty complying with the covenants currently in place in the foreseeable future.

Film Sale-Leaseback Transactions

From time to time, the Content Businesses have entered into arrangements with investors in which certain films are sold and leased back. The sale-leaseback of the films allows the investors to claim certain international tax benefits of ownership of the film master negatives while the Content Businesses maintain control over all exploitation rights and privileges to the films. Such entities are capitalized with the investors’ capital and debt and the investors participate in all of the profits or losses of the entities. The present value to these entities of the future revenue streams attributable to these transactions was $1.3 billion as of December 31, 2002. The Content Businesses do not consolidate nor participate in the operating results of the entities. The Content Businesses retain certain proceeds as consideration for entering into the sale-leaseback transactions, and record the consideration received as a reduction of corresponding film costs. This benefit to the Content Businesses from these transactions that was recognized as a reduction to film cost amortization in 2002 was $47 million.

Capital Distributions

During 2002, the Content Businesses made certain stock option and tax-related capital distributions to AOL Time Warner of $22 million and $473 million, respectively. During 2001, the Content Businesses made certain capital distributions to AOL Time Warner of $210 million, consisting of $44 million of tax-related distributions and $166 million of stock option related distributions. During 2000, the Content Businesses made tax-related distributions to AOL Time Warner of $628 million and stock option distributions of $177 million. As a result of the TWE Restructuring, the financial statements reflect capital distributions to (from) TWE Cable of $81 million at December 31, 2000, ($66) million at December 31, 2001 and $1.130 billion at December 31, 2002.

8. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS

Stock Option Plans

AOL Time Warner has various stock option plans under which AOL Time Warner may grant options to purchase AOL Time Warner common stock to employees of AOL Time Warner and its subsidiaries including employees of the Content Businesses. Such options have been granted to employees of the Content Businesses with exercise prices equal to, or in excess of, fair market value at the date of grant. Accordingly, in accordance with APB 25 and related interpretations, compensation cost generally is not recognized for its stock option plans. Generally, the options become exercisable over a four-year vesting period and expire ten years from the date of grant.

For purposes of applying FAS 123, the fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions (which, for 2000 reflect the impact of the announced Merger) used for grants to the Content Businesses’ employees in 2002, 2001 and 2000: dividend yields of 0% in all years; expected volatility of 52.9%, 59.3% and 46.3%, respectively; risk-free interest rates of 4.12%, 4.8% and 6.4%, respectively; and expected terms to exercise of .47 years after vesting for 2002 and 1.0 years after vesting for 2001 and 2000.

The weighted average fair value of an option granted to the Content Businesses’ employees during the year was $9.32 in 2002, $21.29 in 2001 and $21.15 in 2000.

A summary of stock option activity with respect to employees of the Content Businesses is as follows:

9. BENEFIT PLANS

The Content Businesses have defined benefit pension plans covering most domestic employees. Pension benefits are based on formulas that reflect the employees’ years of service and compensation levels during their employment period. AOL Time Warner’s common stock represents approximately 5% and 10% of the fair value of the plan assets at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. After consummation of the Merger, participation in the Content Businesses’ defined benefit pension plans was limited to employees who previously participated in these plans. A summary of activity for the Content Businesses’ defined benefit pension plans is as follows:

Included above are projected benefit obligations and accumulated benefit obligations for unfunded defined benefit pension plans of $46 million and $44 million as of December 31, 2002, respectively; and $19 million and $28 million as of December 31, 2001, respectively. As of December 31, 2002, the projected benefit obligation, accumulated benefit obligation and fair value of plan assets were $367 million, $300 million and $228 million, respectively, for plans where the accumulated benefit obligation exceeded the fair value of plan assets.

Certain domestic employees of the Content Businesses participate in multi-employer pension plans as to which the expense amounted to $26 million in 2002, $22 million in 2001 and $24 million in 2000. Employees of the Content Businesses’ operations in foreign countries participate to varying degrees in local pension plans, which in the aggregate are not significant.

The Content Businesses’ employees also generally participate in certain defined contribution plans, including savings and profit sharing plans, as to which the expense amounted to $10 million in 2002, $9 million in 2001 and $5 million in 2000. Contributions to the savings plans are based upon a percentage of the employees’ elected contributions.

Qualified Pension Funding Liability

During the fourth quarter of 2002, the Content Businesses recorded an unfunded accumulated benefit obligation of approximately $28 million. This liability represents the excess of the accumulated benefit obligation under the Content Businesses’ qualified defined benefit pension plans over the fair value of the plans’ assets. In accordance with GAAP, this

TIME WARNER ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY, L.P. — CONTENT BUSINESSES
NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

liability was established by a charge to divisional equity of $83 million, resulting in no effect to the accompanying combined statement of operations. In early 2003, the Content Businesses made cash contributions to plan assets of approximately $59 million, which resulted in a funded status of approximately 90% relative to the projected benefit obligation under the qualified defined benefit pension plans.

10. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Content Businesses participate in AOL Time Warner’s hedging program and uses derivative financial instruments principally to manage the risk that changes in foreign currency exchange rates will affect the amount of unremitted or future license fees to be received from the sale of U.S. copyrighted products abroad and to manage equity price risk in the Content Businesses’ investment holdings. The following is a summary of the Content Businesses’ foreign currency risk management strategy and the effect of this strategy on the Content Businesses’ combined financial statements.

Foreign Currency Risk Management

Foreign exchange contracts are used primarily by the Content Businesses to hedge the risk that unremitted or future license fees owed to the Content Businesses domestic companies for the sale or anticipated sale of U.S. copyrighted products abroad may be adversely affected by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Similarly, the Content Businesses enter into foreign exchange contracts to hedge film production costs abroad. As part of its overall strategy to manage the level of exposure to the risk of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, primarily exposure to changes in the value of the British pound, Japanese yen, and European currency, the Content Businesses hedge a portion of its foreign currency exposures anticipated over the ensuing fifteen-month period (the “hedging period”). The hedging period covers revenues expected to be recognized over the ensuing twelve-month period; however there is often a lag between the time that revenue is recognized and the transfer of foreign-denominated revenues back into U.S. dollars. Therefore, the hedging period covers a fifteen-month period. To hedge this exposure, the Content Businesses use foreign exchange contracts that generally have maturities of three months to fifteen months to provide continuing coverage throughout the hedging period. AOL Time Warner reimburses or is reimbursed by the Content Businesses for contract gains and losses related to the Content Businesses’ foreign currency exposure. At December 31, 2002, the Content Businesses had effectively hedged approximately 75% of the estimated net foreign currency exposures that principally relate to anticipated cash flows to be remitted to the U.S. over the hedging period.

The Content Businesses record these foreign exchange contracts at fair value in its combined balance sheet and the related gains or losses on these contracts are deferred in divisional equity (as a component of comprehensive income). These deferred gains and losses are recognized in income in the period in which the related license fees being hedged are received and recognized in income. However, to the extent that any of these contracts are not considered to be perfectly effective in offsetting the change in the value of the license fees being hedged, any changes in fair value relating to the ineffective portion of these contracts are immediately recognized in income. Gains and losses on foreign exchange contracts are generally included as a component of other expense, net, in the Content Businesses’ combined statement of operations.

At December 31, 2002, AOL Time Warner had contracts for the sale of $1.588 billion and the purchase of $1.341 billion of foreign currencies at fixed rates. Of AOL Time Warner’s $247 million net sale contract position, $811 million of the foreign exchange sale contracts and $732 million of the foreign exchange purchase contracts related to the Content Businesses’ foreign currency exposure. Included in the Content Businesses’ foreign currency exposure were net contracts for the sale of $73 million of Canadian dollars, $65 million of Japanese yen, $176 million of European currency and net contracts for the purchase of $203 million of the British pound. Of AOL Time Warner’s net sale contract position of $239 million of foreign currencies at December 31, 2001, $320 million of the foreign exchange sale contracts and $130 million of the foreign exchange purchase contracts related to the Content Businesses’ foreign currency exposure. Included in the Content Businesses’ foreign currency exposure were net contracts for the sale of $139 million of European currency, $51 million of Japanese yen, and net contracts for the purchase of $11 million of the British pound. The Content Businesses had deferred approximately $21 million of net losses on foreign exchange contracts at December 31, 2002, which is expected to be substantially recognized in income over the next twelve months. For the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, the Content Businesses recognized $9 million, $9 million and $12 million in gains, respectively, on foreign exchange contracts, which were or are expected to be largely offset by corresponding decreases and increases, respectively, in the dollar value of foreign currency license fee payments that have been or are anticipated to be received in cash from the sale of U.S. copyrighted products abroad. AOL Time Warner places foreign currency contracts with a number of major financial institutions in order to minimize counterparty credit risk.

11. SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Content Businesses are comprised of business interests in two fundamental areas: Filmed Entertainment, consisting principally of interests in filmed entertainment and television production; and Networks, consisting principally of interests in cable television and broadcast network programming.

Information as to the operations of the Content Businesses in different business segments is set forth below based on the nature of the products and services offered. The Content Businesses evaluate performance based on several factors, of which the primary financial measure is operating income (loss) before non-cash depreciation of tangible assets and amortization of goodwill and intangible assets (“EBITDA”).

The accounting policies of the business segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies (Note 1). Intersegment sales are accounted for at fair value as if the sales were to third parties. While intercompany transactions are treated like third-party transactions to determine segment performance, the revenues (and corresponding expenses recognized by the segment that is counterparty to the transaction) are eliminated in combination and therefore, do not themselves impact combined results.

	Total Revenues	$	10,721		$	9,549		$	9,078

Intersegment Revenues

In the normal course of business, the Content Businesses segments enter into transactions with one another. Examples of common intercompany transactions include:

•		The Filmed Entertainment segment generating content revenue by licensing television and theatrical programming to the Networks segment;

•		The Networks segments generating advertising and commerce revenue by cross-promoting the products and services with the Filmed Entertainment segment.

These intercompany transactions are recorded at fair value, as if the transactions were with third parties and, therefore, impact segment performance. While intercompany transactions are treated like third-party transactions to determine segment performance, the revenues (and corresponding expenses recognized by the segment that is counterparty to the transaction) are eliminated in combination and, therefore, do not themselves impact combined results. Revenues recognized by the Content Businesses’ segments on intercompany transactions are as follows:

(a)

Includes amortization relating to business combinations accounted for by the purchase method, substantially all of which arose in the merger of America Online and Time Warner in 2001.

As discussed in Note 2, when FAS 142 was initially applied, all goodwill recognized on AOL Time Warner’s consolidated balance sheet was reviewed for impairment. Before performing the impairment review, the new guidance required that all goodwill deemed to relate to the entity as a whole be assigned to all of AOL Time Warner’s operating segments. As a result, $744 million of goodwill generated in the Merger was reallocated from other segments of AOL Time Warner resulting in a change in segment assets.

The Content Businesses’ assets have significantly increased since December 31, 2000 due to the consummation of the Merger and the allocation of the $147 billion cost to acquire Time Warner to the underlying net assets of Time Warner, including the net assets of the Content Businesses to the extent acquired, based on their respective estimated fair values. Any excess of the purchase price over estimated fair value of the net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill and allocated among AOL Time Warner’s business segments, including the business segments of the Content Businesses. As such, the Content Businesses’ assets by business segment are as follows:

Contingencies

On June 24, 1997, plaintiffs in Six Flags Over Georgia LLC et al. v. Time Warner Entertainment Company, L.P. et al., filed an amended complaint in the Superior Court of Gwinnett County, Georgia, claiming that, inter alia, defendants, which include the Content Businesses, violated their fiduciary duties in operating the Six Flags Over Georgia theme park. On December 18, 1998, following a trial, a jury returned a verdict in favor of plaintiffs. The total awarded to plaintiffs was approximately $454 million in compensatory and punitive damages. The case was appealed to the Georgia Court of Appeals, which affirmed the trial court’s judgment, and denied reconsideration. The Supreme Court of Georgia denied certiorari on January 18, 2001. On February 28, 2001, the compensatory damages portion of the award plus accrued interest was paid to plaintiffs. On March 1, 2001, the United States Supreme Court granted a stay as to payment of the punitive damages part of the jury’s original award, pending the resolution of a petition for certiorari to be filed by the Content Businesses, which was filed on June 15, 2001. On October 1, 2001, the United States Supreme Court granted certiorari, vacated the opinion of the Georgia Court of Appeals and remanded the case for further consideration as to punitive damages. On March 29, 2002, the Georgia Court of Appeals affirmed and reinstated its earlier decision regarding the punitive damage award. On April 18, 2002, TWE filed a petition for certiorari to the Georgia Supreme Court seeking review of the decision of the Georgia Court of Appeals, which was denied on September 16, 2002. The Georgia Supreme Court subsequently denied the Content Businesses’ motion for reconsideration of its September 16th ruling. The Content Businesses filed a petition for writ of certiorari to the United States Supreme Court, which was denied on April 21, 2003. The punitive damages portion of the award plus accrued interest totaling $391 million, which was accrued for at December 31, 2002, was paid by WCI in 2003 and the litigation is now concluded.

On April 8, 2002, three former employees of AOL Time Warner filed Henry Spann et al. v. AOL Time Warner Inc. et al., a purported class action, in the U. S. District Court for the Central District of California. Plaintiffs have named as defendants, among others, AOL Time Warner, TWE, WEA Corp., WEA Manufacturing Inc., Warner Bros. Records, Atlantic Recording Corporation, various pension plans sponsored by the companies and the administrative committees of those plans. Plaintiffs allege that defendants miscalculated the proper amount of pension benefits owed to them and other class members as required under the plans in violation of ERISA. The lawsuit has been transferred to the U. S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. Due to the preliminary status of this matter, the Content Businesses are unable to predict the outcome of this suit.

As of May 12, 2003, three putative class action lawsuits have been filed alleging violations of ERISA in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on behalf of current and former participants in the AOL Time Warner Savings Plan, the AOL Time Warner Thrift Plan and/or the AOL Time Warner Cable Savings Plan (the “Plans”), which may include employees of companies within the Content Businesses. Collectively, these lawsuits name as defendants AOL Time Warner, certain current and former directors and officers of AOL Time Warner and members of the Administrative Committees of the Plans. The lawsuits allege that AOL Time Warner and other defendants breached certain fiduciary duties to the Plan participants by, inter alia, continuing to offer AOL Time Warner stock as an investment under the Plans, and by failing to disclose, among other things, that AOL Time Warner was experiencing declining advertising revenues and that AOL Time Warner was inappropriately inflating advertising revenues through various transactions. The complaints seek unspecified damages and unspecified equitable relief. The ERISA actions have been consolidated with other AOL Time Warner-related shareholder lawsuits and derivative actions under the caption In re AOL Time Warner Inc. Securities and “ERISA” Litigation in the Southern District of New York. AOL Time Warner intends to defend against these lawsuits vigorously and is unable to predict the outcome of these cases or reasonably estimate a range of possible loss.

The costs and other effects of pending or future litigation, governmental investigations, legal and administrative cases and proceedings (whether civil or criminal), settlements, judgments and investigations, claims and changes in those matters (including those matters described above), and developments or assertions by or against the Content Businesses relating to intellectual

1.		DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

		Description of Business

		Time Warner Cable Inc. (“TWC” or the “Company”) is the second largest operator of cable systems in the United States. TWC was formed as part of the restructuring of Time Warner Entertainment Company, L.P. (“TWE”), completed on March 31, 2003 (the “TWE restructuring”) as described in detail below. The Company’s operations primarily consist of selling video programming and high-speed data services to subscribers for a monthly fee and related advertising services to a variety of local, regional and national clients. Subscriber services are distributed through a network of coaxial and fiber optic cables. The Company’s continuing operations, including its unconsolidated cable television system joint ventures, served approximately 10.9 million and 10.7 million basic subscribers as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Excluding the unconsolidated cable television system joint ventures, the Company’s continuing operations served approximately 9.4 million and 9.2 million basic subscribers as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

		All of AOL Time Warner Inc.’s (“AOL Time Warner”) interests in cable systems, including all cable systems held by TWE and previously held by TWI Cable Inc. (a wholly owned subsidiary of AOL Time Warner) are now controlled by TWC. Prior to the restructuring as described below, TWE was a partnership between AOL Time Warner and subsidiaries of Comcast Corporation (“Comcast”) that owned and operated substantially all of Warner Bros., Home Box Office and held interests in The WB Network, Comedy Partners (“Comedy Central”) and Courtroom Television Network (“ Court TV”), (collectively, the “TWE Non-Cable Businesses”) and certain cable systems.

		In August 2002, AOL Time Warner and Comcast announced that they had agreed to restructure TWE. As part of the TWE restructuring, AOL Time Warner acquired complete ownership of the TWE Non-Cable Businesses. In addition, substantially all of AOL Time Warner’s interests in the TWE cable systems and all of its interests in cable television systems held through TWI Cable Inc. were contributed to TWC. For more information, see Note 2.

		Basis of Presentation

		AOL Time Warner Allocations

		The consolidated financial statements of TWC include in continuing operations the cable businesses of TWE and TWI Cable Inc., all of which are under the common control of AOL Time Warner. The consolidated financial statements include all assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and cash flows directly attributable to TWC, as well as allocations of certain AOL Time Warner corporate items deemed reasonable by TWC management, to present the consolidated results of operations, financial position, changes in attributed net assets and cash flows of TWC on a stand-alone basis. The principal allocation methodologies are described below. The financial information included herein does not necessarily reflect the consolidated results of operations, financial position, changes in attributed net assets and cash flows of TWC in the future or what would have been reflected had TWC been a separate, stand-alone entity during the periods presented. The income tax benefits and provisions, related tax payments and deferred tax balances have been prepared as if TWC operated as a stand-alone taxpayer for all periods presented.

		Comcast’s direct ownership interest in TWE’s cable business is reflected as part of minority interests from continuing operations in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The

Time Warner Cable Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

		minority interests included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets represent AOL Time Warner’s total minority interest related to Comcast’s ownership percentage in TWE, prior to the TWE restructuring, adjusted by the ratio of the total historical net assets of TWE’s cable businesses to the total historical net assets of TWE. The minority interests included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations represent AOL Time Warner’s total minority interest related to Comcast’s ownership percentage in TWE’s cable business, prior to the TWE restructuring, adjusted by the ratio of the historical earnings of TWE’s cable businesses to the total historical earnings of TWE. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions within TWC have been eliminated.

		Prior to the TWE restructuring, AOL Time Warner performed certain cash management functions on behalf of TWC. Debt attributed to TWC includes third-party and related party obligations of the TWC businesses.

		Overhead expenses are allocated to TWC using a pro rata allocation (based on consolidated operating income (loss) before depreciation of tangible assets, amortization of intangible assets and impairment write-downs related to goodwill and other intangible assets) of the historical management fees paid by TWE to AOL Time Warner. The costs allocated to TWC are not necessarily indicative of the costs that would have been incurred if TWC had obtained such services independently, nor are they indicative of costs that will be charged or incurred in the future. However, management believes such allocations are reasonable.

		Discontinued Operations of TWE-Advance Newhouse Partnership

		Prior to the restructuring discussed below, the TWE-Advance/Newhouse Partnership (“TWE-A/N”) was owned approximately 64.8% by TWE, 33.3% by the Advance/Newhouse Partnership (“Advance/Newhouse”) and 1.9% indirectly by AOL Time Warner. Prior to August 1, 2002, the financial position and operating results of TWE-A/N were consolidated by TWE, and the partnership interest owned by Advance/Newhouse was reflected in the consolidated financial statements of TWC as a minority interest.

		On June 24, 2002, TWE and Advance/Newhouse agreed to restructure TWE-A/N, which, on August 1, 2002 (the “Debt Closing Date”), resulted in Advance/Newhouse assuming, subject to certain exceptions, authority for the supervision of the day-to-day operations of certain TWE-A/N cable systems serving approximately 2.1 million subscribers located primarily in Florida (the “A/N Systems”). On the Debt Closing Date, Advance/Newhouse and its affiliates arranged for a new independent credit facility to support the A/N Systems and assumed and repaid approximately $780 million of TWE-A/N’s senior indebtedness. As a result, TWE deconsolidated the financial position and operating results of these systems as of the Debt Closing Date. Additionally, all prior period results associated with the A/N Systems, including the historical minority interest allocated to Advance/Newhouse’s interest in TWE-A/N, have been reflected as a discontinued operation for all periods presented.

		Revenues from the discontinued operations of the A/N Systems totaled $834 million in 2002 (seven months), $1.247 billion in 2001 and $1.058 billion in 2000. Net income (loss) from discontinued operations totaled $114 million in 2002 (seven months), $(44) million in 2001 and $(74) million in 2000. Approximately $15 million, $11 million and $2 million of revenues included in discontinued operations were attributable to related parties in 2002 (seven months), 2001 and 2000, respectively.

Time Warner Cable Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

		In connection with the TWE-A/N restructuring, TWC recognized a noncash pretax gain of approximately $1.368 billion in 2002. Of this gain, approximately $1.180 billion related to the difference between the carrying value and fair value of Comcast’s interest in the A/N Systems. This gain is included as part of discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. However, because this gain relates to Comcast’s interest in TWE-A/N, it is substantially offset by minority interest expense, which is similarly included as part of discontinued operations. The remaining $188 million pretax gain relates to the portion of TWE-A/N debt assumed by Advance/Newhouse in excess of its pro rata share, and is also included as part of discontinued operations.

		Discontinued Operations of TWE Non-Cable Businesses

		As part of the restructuring of TWE, AOL Time Warner acquired complete ownership of the TWE Non-Cable Businesses. The TWE Non-Cable Businesses have been reflected as a discontinued operation for all periods presented.

		Revenues from the discontinued operations of the TWE Non-Cable Businesses totaled $10.721 billion in 2002, $9.549 billion in 2001 and $9.078 billion in 2000. Net income (loss) from the discontinued operations of the TWE Non-Cable Businesses totaled $(4.262) billion in 2002, $(21) million in 2001 and $93 million in 2000. Approximately $837 million, $867 million and $662 million of revenues included in discontinued operations of the TWE Non-Cable Businesses were attributable to related parties in 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

		In June 2000, TWC adopted American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“AICPA”) Statement of Position (“SOP”) 00-2, “Accounting by Producers and Distributors of Films” (“SOP 00-2”). SOP 00-2 established new film accounting standards, including changes in revenue recognition and accounting for advertising, development and overhead costs. Specifically, SOP 00-2 requires advertising costs for theatrical and television product to be expensed as incurred. This compares to TWC’s previous policy of first capitalizing and then expensing advertising costs for theatrical product over the related revenue streams. In addition, SOP 00-2 requires development costs for abandoned projects and certain indirect overhead costs to be charged directly to expenses, instead of those costs being capitalized to film costs, which was required under the previous accounting model. SOP 00-2 also requires all film costs to be classified on the balance sheet as noncurrent assets.

		The provisions of SOP 00-2 are applicable to the TWE Non-Cable Businesses. The TWE Non-Cable Businesses of TWC adopted the provisions of SOP 00-2, retroactively to the beginning of 2000 and recorded a one-time, non-cash charge of $314 million in 2000, primarily to reduce the carrying value of its film inventory. This charge has been reflected as a cumulative effect of an accounting change associated with discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

2.		SIGNIFICANT TRANSACTIONS

		Time Warner Entertainment Company, L.P.

		Prior to the change in ownership discussed below, AOL Time Warner, through its wholly owned subsidiaries, collectively owned general and limited partnership interests in TWE consisting of 74.49% of the Series A Capital and Residual Capital and 100% of the Series B Capital. The remaining 25.51% limited partnership interests in the Series A Capital and Residual Capital of TWE were held by Comcast. Certain AOL Time Warner subsidiaries were the general partners of TWE.

		During the second quarter of 2002, Comcast exercised a one-time option to increase its ownership in the Series A Capital and Residual Capital of TWE. As a result, on May 31, 2002, Comcast’s interest in the Series A Capital and Residual Capital of TWE increased by approximately 2.13% to approximately 27.64% and AOL Time Warner’s corresponding interest in the Series A and Residual Capital of TWE decreased by approximately 2.13% to approximately 72.36%. In accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 51, “Accounting for Sales of Stock of a Subsidiary,” TWC has reflected the impact of the dilution of its interest in TWE of approximately $414 million, net of tax, as an adjustment to attributed net assets.

		As part of the March 31, 2003 restructuring of TWE, the TWE Non-Cable Businesses were distributed by TWE to AOL Time Warner. AOL Time Warner then contributed the cable systems owned by TWI Cable and substantially all of its interest in TWE, which now holds only cable systems, to TWC. In exchange for its 27.64% interest in the Series A Capital and Residual Capital of TWE, Comcast: (i) received AOL Time Warner preferred stock, which is convertible into $1.5 billion of AOL Time Warner common stock; (ii) received a 21.0% economic interest in TWC cable systems; and (iii) was relieved of $2.1 billion of pre-existing debt at one of its subsidiaries, which was incurred by TWC as part of the restructuring.

		Comcast’s 21.0% economic interest in TWC’s cable business is held through a 17.9% direct ownership interest in TWC (representing a 10.7% voting interest) and a limited partnership interest in TWE (representing a 4.7% residual equity interest). AOL Time Warner’s 79% economic interest in TWC’s cable business is held through an 82.1% ownership interest in TWC (representing an 89.3% voting interest) and a partnership interest in TWE (representing a 1% residual equity interest). AOL Time Warner also holds a $2.4 billion mandatorily redeemable preferred equity interest in TWE. AOL Time Warner effectively increased its economic ownership interest in TWE from approximately 73% to approximately 79%. This acquisition of an additional 6% interest in TWE, as well as Comcast’s exchange of a portion of its interest in TWE for a 17.9% interest in TWC, have been accounted for as step acquisitions.


Time Warner Cable Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

The purchase consideration paid by AOL Time Warner in the TWE restructuring was as follows (in millions):


Description	Amount

Debt incurred at TWC	$	2,100
Issuance of AOL Time Warner mandatorily convertible preferred stock to Comcast		1,500
Value of interest in cable assets transferred to Comcast^(a)		1,000
Acquisition Costs		44

Total purchase consideration	$	4,644

		^(a)Based on a discounted cash flow analysis and comparison to comparable market data

		Of the $4.644 billion purchase consideration paid by AOL Time Warner, $880 million (i.e., $1.4 billion of the purchase consideration less $520 million which represents the book value of the net assets acquired) is attributable to the incremental interest in the cable business acquired. Approximately $1.427 billion of the purchase price was allocated to goodwill at the TWE Non-Cable Businesses (i.e., $3.244 billion of purchase consideration less $1.817 billion which represents the book value of the net assets acquired). In addition, the 17.9% interest in TWC retained by Comcast was stepped up to fair value, resulting in a $2.362 billion adjustment that is reflected as an increase in cable franchise license intangibles and a corresponding increase to contributed capital. The franchise license intangible assets will not be amortized but will be tested for impairment on an annual basis. A deferred tax liability of $1.296 billion and corresponding amount of goodwill was also recorded on the step up of all cable franchise license intangible.

		At the closing of the TWE restructuring, TWC had $8.508 billion in debt and mandatorily redeemable preferred equity and $140 million of cash and cash equivalents.

		Restructuring of Road Runner

		The high-speed Internet access business of Road Runner was created as a joint venture between TWC and Comcast. In addition, Microsoft Corp. and Hewlett-Packard Company (formerly Compaq Computer Corp.) each owned a preferred equity interest in Road Runner that was convertible into a 10% common equity interest (the “Preferred Equity Interests”). TWC’s initial ownership in Road Runner was approximately 46.1% on a fully attributed basis (i.e. after considering the portion attributable to the minority partners of Comcast and Advance/Newhouse). In December 2000, TWC announced that the ownership of Road Runner would be restructured (the “Initial Restructuring”). As a result of the Initial Restructuring, the Preferred Equity Interests were redeemed and TWC recognized a one-time restructuring charge, based on its proportional ownership interest, of $41 million related to employee severance and contract terminations. Subsequent to the Initial Restructuring, TWC owned approximately 65% of Road Runner on a fully attributed basis. Through December 31, 2001, TWC’s interest in Road Runner was accounted for using the equity method of accounting because of certain approval rights held by Advance/Newhouse.

		As part of the 2002 TWE-A/N restructuring, TWC effectively acquired Advance/Newhouse’s interest in Road Runner for total consideration of approximately $87 million, thereby increasing its ownership interest to approximately 82% on a fully attributed basis (i.e., after considering the portion attributable to Comcast). As a result of the termination of Advance/Newhouse’s minority veto rights in Road Runner, TWC has consolidated the financial position and results of operations of Road Runner. As permitted under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), the Company has consolidated the financial position and results of operations of Road Runner retroactive to the beginning of 2002. The transaction resulted in the establishment of goodwill of approximately $177 million.

		The assets and liabilities of Road Runner as of August 1, 2002 were as follows:

		AOL Time Warner Merger

		On January 11, 2001, America Online Inc. (“America Online”) acquired Time Warner Inc. (“Time Warner”) (hereafter referred to as the “AOL Time Warner Merger”). As a result of the AOL Time Warner Merger, America Online and Time Warner each became a wholly owned subsidiary of AOL Time Warner. The AOL Time Warner Merger was accounted for by AOL Time Warner as an acquisition of Time Warner using the purchase method of accounting for business combinations. Under the purchase method of accounting, the cost of approximately $147 billion to acquire Time Warner, including transaction costs, was allocated to its underlying net assets, including its interests in TWC, based on their respective estimated fair values. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill. Of the $147 billion of costs to acquire Time Warner, approximately $61.462 billion was allocated to the underlying net assets of the cable businesses. This allocation to the underlying net assets of the cable businesses was reduced by an $8.808 billion reallocation of goodwill in 2002 and certain impairment charges as discussed in Note 6.

		Because the AOL Time Warner Merger was not consummated on or before December 31, 2000, the accompanying historical consolidated financial statements and notes for 2000 reflect the financial results of TWC on a historical basis without the significant amortization expense created by the AOL Time Warner Merger. Almost all of this amortization ended effective January 1, 2002 as a result of the adoption of a new accounting standard on the accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets as discussed in Note 3.

3.		SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

		Cash and Cash Equivalents

		Cash and cash equivalents include money market funds, overnight deposits and other investments that are readily convertible into cash and have original maturities of three months or less. Cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair value.

		Accounting for Investments

		Investments in companies in which TWC has significant influence, but less than a controlling voting interest, are accounted for using the equity method. Significant influence is generally presumed to exist when TWC owns between 20% and 50% of the investee. The effect of any changes in TWC ownership interests resulting from the issuance of capital by consolidated subsidiaries or unconsolidated cable television system joint ventures to unaffiliated parties is included as an adjustment to attributed net assets.

		As discussed above, through December 31, 2001, the Company accounted for its investment in Road Runner using the equity method because the minority shareholder held certain rights that allowed participation in the day-to-day operations of the business. Following the restructuring of Road Runner in the third quarter of 2002, TWC has consolidated the financial position and results of operations of Road Runner retroactive to the beginning of 2002.


Time Warner Cable Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

		Revenues and Costs

		Cable revenues are principally derived from video and high-speed data subscriber fees and advertising. Subscriber fees are recorded as revenue in the period the service is provided and advertising revenues, including those from advertising purchased by programmers, are recognized in the period that the advertisements are exhibited. Video programming costs are recorded as the services are provided. Launch fees received by the Company from programming vendors are recognized as a reduction of expenses over the life of the related programming arrangement. Amounts received from programming vendors representing the reimbursement of marketing costs are recognized as a reduction of marketing expenses in the period such reimbursement is received.

		Advertising costs are expensed upon the first exhibition of related advertisements. Advertising expense, net of reimbursements from programmers, was approximately $222 million in 2002, $125 million in 2001 and $96 million in 2000.

		Gross Versus Net Revenue Recognition

		In the normal course of business, TWC acts as an intermediary or agent with respect to payments received from third parties. For example, TWC collects taxes on behalf of franchising authorities. The accounting issue encountered in these arrangements is whether TWC should report revenue based on the “gross” amount billed to the ultimate customer or on the “net” amount received from the customer after payments to franchising authorities. The Company has determined that these amounts should be reported on a “gross” basis.

		Determining whether revenue should be reported gross or net is based on an assessment of whether TWC is acting as the “principal” in a transaction or acting as an “agent” in a transaction. To the extent TWC acts as a principal in a transaction, TWC reports as revenue the payments received on a gross basis. To the extent TWC acts as an agent in a transaction, TWC reports as revenue the payments received less commissions and other payments to third parties on a net basis. The determination of whether TWC serves as principal or agent in a transaction is subjective in nature and based on an evaluation of the terms of each arrangement. In determining whether TWC serves as principal or agent in these arrangements TWC follows the guidance in Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) 99-19, “Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent."

		Multiple-Element Arrangements

		In the normal course of business, TWC enters into multiple-element transactions where it is simultaneously a customer and a vendor with the same counter-party (multiple element transactions). For example, when negotiating the terms of programming purchase contracts from cable networks, TWC may simultaneously negotiate for the sale of advertising to the cable network. These arrangements may be documented in one contract or may be documented in separate contracts. Whether it is in one contract or multiple contracts, these arrangements are considered to have been negotiated simultaneously for accounting purposes. In accounting for these types of arrangements, TWC recognizes revenue and expense in accordance with the following authoritative literature:

		• APB Opinion No. 29, “Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions;” • EITF 01-09, “Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer;”


Time Warner Cable Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

		• EITF 00-21, “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables;” and

		• “Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101: Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements.”

		Additionally, in November 2002, the EITF reached a consensus on EITF 02-16, “Accounting for Consideration Received from a Vendor by a Customer.” The guidance in EITF 02-16 is consistent with our historical accounting. Specifically, EITF 02-16 presumes that cash consideration received from a vendor, such as a cable network programmer, is a reduction in the price to use the vendor’s products or services and therefore a reduction in the associated cable programming cost. However, this presumption is overcome when the cash consideration represents a payment for assets or services, such as advertising delivered to the vendor, in which case the cash consideration should be characterized as revenue when recognized in a customer’s income statement, such as TWC. In addition, EITF 02-16 states that cash consideration paid by a vendor which exceeds the estimated fair value of the benefits, such as advertising received by the vendor, should be characterized in the customer’s income statement as a reduction of cost of sales or programming expense.

		With respect to programming and vendor advertising arrangements being negotiated simultaneously with the same cable network, TWC assesses whether the cash consideration paid by the cable programmer for advertising exceeds its fair value based on comparison to advertising rates paid by other advertisers. In addition, the factors that we considered in making this assessment include:

		• existence of a “most-favored-nation” clause or comparable assurances as to fair market value with respect to programming;

		• comparison to fees under a prior contract; and • comparison to fees paid for similar networks.

		Accounting for Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

		In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement No. 141, “Business Combinations” and Statement No. 142 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“FAS 142”). These standards change the accounting for business combinations by, among other things, prohibiting the prospective use of pooling-of-interests accounting. In addition, FAS 142 requires that, effective January 1, 2002, goodwill, including the goodwill included in the carrying value of investments accounted for using the equity method of accounting, and certain other intangible assets deemed to have an indefinite useful life, ceased amortization. The new rules also require that goodwill and certain intangible assets be assessed for impairment using fair value measurement techniques. See Note 6 for further discussion of the adoption of FAS 142.

		Property, Plant and Equipment

		Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. The Company incurs expenditures associated with the construction and maintenance of its cable systems. Costs associated with the construction of the cable transmission and distribution facilities and new cable service installations are


Time Warner Cable Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

		capitalized. TWC capitalizes expenditures for tangible fixed assets having a useful life of greater than one year. Capitalized costs typically include direct material, direct labor, overhead and interest. Sales and marketing costs, as well as the costs of repairing or maintaining existing fixed assets, are expensed as incurred. Types of capitalized expenditures include plant upgrades, drops (i.e., customer installations), converters and cable modems. With respect to customer premise equipment, including converters and cable modems, TWC capitalizes direct installation charges only upon the initial deployment of such assets. All costs incurred in subsequent disconnects and reconnects are expensed as incurred. Depreciation on these assets is provided generally using the straight-line method over their estimated useful life.

		Effective January 1, 2001, TWC determined that the useful lives of converters and modems, which are included below in distribution systems, were shorter than originally expected. A change in accounting estimate was recognized to reflect this change, resulting in an increase in depreciation expense of approximately $42 million in 2001 over 2000. Property, plant and equipment consists of:


		As of December 31,						Estimated

		2002			2001			Useful Lives

		(in millions)
Land and buildings^(a)		$	457		$	391		5-20 years
Distribution systems^(b)			8,512			7,297		3-16 years
Vehicles and other equipment			611			431		3-10 years

			10,150			8,498
Less: Accumulated depreciation			(2,176	)		(1,285	)

	Total	$	7,974		$	7,213

^(a) Land is not depreciated.
^(b) Includes converters and modems.

		Computer Software

		TWC capitalizes certain costs incurred for the development of internal use software. These costs, which include the costs associated with coding, software configuration, upgrades and enhancements are included in property, plant and equipment in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. Such costs are depreciated on a straight-line basis over 3 to 5 years. These costs, net of accumulated amortization, totaled $109 million and $24 million as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

		Valuation of Long-Lived Assets

		The Company periodically reviews the carrying value of its long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. To the extent the estimated future cash inflows attributable to the asset, less estimated future cash outflows, are less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the carrying value of such asset is greater than its fair value.


Time Warner Cable Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

		Cable Franchises

		Cable franchises include the value attributed to agreements with local authorities that allow access to homes and businesses in cable service areas acquired in connection with a business combination. During 2001, the value of each of these agreements was amortized on a straight-line basis over a 25 year period. Following the adoption of FAS 142 in the first quarter of 2002, cable franchises capitalized in purchase business combinations are no longer amortized but are now subject to an annual review for impairment. Other costs incurred to negotiate and renew cable franchise agreements continue to be capitalized and amortized over the term of such franchise agreements.

		Effective January 1, 2001, TWC determined that the useful lives of cable franchises were longer than originally expected. A change in accounting estimate was recognized to reflect this change, resulting in a decrease in amortization expense of approximately $204 million in 2001 over 2000.

		Stock Options

		TWC employees participate in various AOL Time Warner stock option plans. In accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB 25”) and related interpretations, compensation cost for stock options granted to employees is recognized in income based on the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the stock at the grant date of the award over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock. Generally, the exercise price for stock options granted to employees equals or exceeds the fair market value of AOL Time Warner common stock at the date of grant, thereby resulting in no recognition of compensation expense by the Company. For awards that generate compensation expense as defined under APB 25, the Company calculates the amount of compensation expense and recognizes the expense over the vesting period of the award.


Time Warner Cable Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

Had compensation cost for AOL Time Warner’s stock option plans been determined based on the fair value method set forth in FASB Statement No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“FAS 123”), the Company’s net (loss) income would have been as follows:


		Year ended December 31,

		2002			2001			2000

		(in millions, except per share data)
Net (loss) income as reported		$	(37,359	)	$	(1,848	)	$	169

Pro forma net (loss) income		$	(37,541	)	$	(1,895	)	$	80

		Comprehensive Income (Loss)

		Comprehensive income (loss), which is reported on the accompanying consolidated statement of attributed net assets as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), consists of net income (loss) and other gains and losses affecting attributed net assets that, under GAAP, are excluded from net income (loss). For TWC, the components of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) consist of foreign currency translation gains and losses (related to discontinued operations), unrealized gains and losses on marketable equity investments, adjustments related to additional minimum pension liability and gains and losses on certain equity derivative financial instruments.

		The following summary sets forth the components of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss):


	Foreign			Net Unrealized			Additional			Derivative			Accumulated
	Currency			Gains (Losses)			Minimum			Financial			Other
	Translation			on Marketable			Pension			Instruments			Comprehensive

Time Warner Cable Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

		Segments

		FASB Statement No. 131, “Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information,” requires public companies to disclose certain information about their reportable operating segments. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available and is evaluated on a regular basis by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources to an individual segment and in assessing performance of the segment. Since the Company’s continuing operations provide a variety of services over the same means of delivery, the Company has only one reportable segment.

		Use of Estimates

		The preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates are used when accounting for certain items such as allowances for doubtful accounts, investments, depreciation and amortization, asset impairment, non-monetary transactions and contingencies. Allocation methodologies used to prepare the accompanying consolidated financial statements are based on estimates and have been described in the notes, where appropriate.

4. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Revenue Classification Changes

Reimbursement of “Out-of-Pocket” Expenses

In January 2002, the EITF of the FASB reached a consensus on EITF No. 01-14, “Income Statement Characterization of Reimbursements Received for ‘Out-of-Pocket’ Expenses Incurred” (“EITF 01-14”). EITF 01-14 requires that reimbursements received for out-of-pocket expenses be classified as revenue on the income statement. EITF 01-14 was effective for TWC in the first quarter of 2002 and required retroactive restatement of all periods presented to reflect the new accounting provisions. As a result of applying the guidance of EITF 01-14, the Company’s revenues and cost of revenues related to franchise fees presented herein were increased by an equal amount of approximately $236 million in 2001 and $209 million in 2000.

Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 01-09

EITF 01-09, “Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer or a Reseller of the Vendor’s Products” (“EITF 01-09”) was effective for TWC in the first quarter of 2002 and requires retroactive restatement of all periods presented to reflect the new accounting provisions. EITF 01-09 clarifies the income statement classification of costs incurred by a vendor in connection with the reseller’s purchase or promotion of the vendor’s products, resulting in certain customer incentives previously classified as selling expenses to be reflected as a reduction of revenues earned from that activity. The provisions of EITF 01-09 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 02-16

In November 2002, the EITF reached a consensus on EITF Issue No. 02-16. “Accounting for Consideration Received from a Vendor by a Customer”) (“EITF 02-16”) provides guidance as to how customers should account for cash consideration received from a vendor. EITF 02-16 presumes that cash received from a vendor represents a reduction of the prices of the vendor’s products or services, unless the cash received represents a payment for assets or services provided to the vendor or a reimbursement of costs incurred by the customer to sell the vendor’s products. The provisions of EITF 02-16 apply to all agreements entered into or modified after December 31, 2002. Management anticipates the adoption of EITF 02-16 will not result in a material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. See Note 3, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies on revenue and costs, as it relates to how the Company accounts for consideration received from a cable network programmer.

Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101

In the fourth quarter of 2000, the Company adopted SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements” (“SAB 101”). SAB 101 clarifies certain existing accounting principles for the timing of revenue recognition and the classification of revenues in financial statements. While the Company’s existing revenue recognition policies were consistent with the provisions of SAB 101, the new rules resulted in changes as to how revenues from certain transactions are classified. The provisions of SAB 101 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Stock-Based Compensation

In December 2002, the FASB issued Statement No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, Transition and Disclosure” (“FAS 148”). FAS 148 provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. FAS 148 also requires that disclosures of the pro forma effect of using the fair value method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation be displayed more prominently and in a tabular format. Additionally, FAS 148 requires disclosure of the pro forma effect in interim financial statements. The transition and annual disclosure requirements of FAS 148 are effective for fiscal years ended after December 15, 2002. The interim disclosure requirements of FAS 148 are effective for interim periods ending after December 15, 2002. The adoption of the provisions of FAS 148 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. However, the Company has modified its disclosures as required.


Time Warner Cable Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

Exit and Disposal Activities

In July 2002, the FASB issued Statement No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities” (“FAS 146”). FAS 146 nullifies the accounting for restructuring costs provided in EITF Issue No. 94-3 “Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring).” FAS 146 requires that a liability associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized and measured at fair value only when incurred. In addition, one-time termination benefits should be recognized over the period employees will render service, if the service period is beyond a minimum retention period. FAS 146 is effective for exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. Management does not expect that the application of the provisions of FAS 146 will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Multiple-Element Arrangements

In November 2002, the EITF reached a consensus on EITF No. 00-21, “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables.” EITF 00-21 provides guidance on how to account for arrangements that involve the delivery or performance of multiple products, services and/or rights to use assets. The provisions of EITF 00-21 will apply to revenue arrangements entered into in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2003. The Company believes that its current accounting is consistent with the provisions of EITF 00-21 and therefore does not expect that the application of the provisions of EITF 00-21 will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Guarantees

In November 2002, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others” (“FIN 45”). FIN 45 requires that a liability be recorded on the guarantor’s balance sheet upon issuance of a guarantee. In addition, FIN 45 requires disclosures about the guarantees that an entity has issued, including a reconciliation of changes in the entity’s product warranty liabilities. The initial recognition and initial measurement provisions of FIN 45 are applicable on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002, irrespective of the guarantor’s fiscal year-end. The disclosure requirements of FIN 45 are effective for financial statements of interim or annual periods ending after December 15, 2002. The application of the provisions of FIN 45 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Asset Retirement Obligations

In July 2001, the FASB issued Statement No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations” (“FAS 143”). FAS 143 addresses the accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. FAS 143 became effective for TWC in the first quarter of 2002. The provisions of FAS 143 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets


	In August 2001, the FASB issued Statement No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (“FAS 144”). FAS 144 clarifies the accounting for the impairment of long-lived assets and for long-lived assets to be disposed of, including the disposal of business

Time Warner Cable Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)


	segments and major lines of business. FAS 144 became effective for TWC in the first quarter of 2002. As discussed in Note 1, the results of operations, financial position and cash flows of the A/N Systems and the TWE Non-Cable Businesses have been reflected as discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, in accordance with FAS 144.

5. AOL TIME WARNER MERGER AND RESTRUCTURING COSTS

AOL Time Warner Merger Costs Capitalized as a Cost of Acquisition


	In connection with the AOL Time Warner Merger, TWC reviewed its operations and implemented several plans to restructure its operations (the “restructuring plans”). As part of these restructuring plans, TWC recorded a restructuring liability of approximately $94 million during 2001. This restructuring liability included costs to exit and consolidate certain activities of TWC, as well as costs to terminate employees across various TWC business units. Such liabilities were recognized as part of the AOL Time Warner Merger which was recorded as a purchase business combination and were included in the allocation of the cost to acquire Time Warner.

	Of the total 2001 restructuring costs, $46 million related to work force reduction and represented employee termination benefits and relocation costs. Employee termination costs occurred across most TWC business units and ranged from senior executives to line personnel. The number of employees initially identified to be involuntarily terminated or relocated approximated 1,300. Not all employees who were originally identified were terminated as of December 31, 2002. Therefore a non-cash reduction to the employee termination accrual of $13 million and a corresponding reduction in goodwill was reflected in the fourth quarter of 2002. Since certain employees can defer receipt of termination benefits for up to five years, cash payments will continue after such employees have been terminated. The remaining termination liability totaled $14 million as of December 31, 2002. Approximately $5 million of this amount is included in restructuring costs in other current liabilities. The 2001 restructuring charge also included approximately $48 million of lease and contract termination costs. The remaining liability for such exit costs was $3 million as of December 31, 2002 and is included in restructuring costs in other current liabilities.

	Selected information relating to the restructuring plans is as follows:


		Employee			Other
		Terminations			Exit Costs			Total

		(in millions)
Amount charged		$	46		$	48		$	94
Cash paid - 2001			(3	)		(18	)		(21	)

	Liability as of December 31, 2001		43			30			73

Non-cash reductions - 2002^(a)			(13	)		(2	)		(15	)

	Liability as of December 31, 2002	$	14		$	3		$	17

Time Warner Cable Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

(a)

Non-cash reductions represent adjustments to the restructuring accrual and a corresponding reduction in goodwill, as actual costs related to employee terminations and other exit costs were less than originally estimated.

Restructuring Costs

During the year ended December 31, 2002, the Company incurred and accrued other restructuring costs of $15 million, which are included in selling, general and administrative expense, related to the termination of approximately 230 employees across various TWC business units. As of December 31, 2002, TWC had terminated all affected employees. Because certain affected employees can defer receipt of termination benefits for up to five years, cash payments will continue after such employees have been terminated. The remaining liability for terminations in connection with the 2002 restructuring is approximately $13 million as of December 31, 2002, of which approximately $11 million is included in restructuring costs in other current liabilities.

Time Warner Cable Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

6. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS


	As discussed in Note 3, in January 2002, TWC adopted FAS 142, which requires companies to cease amortizing goodwill and certain intangible assets with an indefinite useful life. Instead, FAS 142 requires that goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have an indefinite useful life be reviewed for impairment upon adoption of FAS 142 (January 1, 2002) and annually thereafter.

Upon the adoption of FAS 142 in the first quarter of 2002, the Company’s continuing operations completed its initial impairment review and recorded a non-cash charge of approximately $22.975 billion to reduce the carrying value of goodwill arising from the AOL Time Warner Merger. Such charge is non-operational in nature and is reflected as a cumulative effect of an accounting change associated with continuing operations in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. The amount of the impairment primarily reflects the decline in the AOL Time Warner’s stock price since the AOL Time Warner Merger was announced and valued for accounting purposes in January of 2000.

Prior to performing the review for impairment, FAS 142 required that goodwill deemed to be related to an entity as a whole be assigned to all of AOL Time Warner’s reporting units, including the reporting units of America Online. This differs from the previous accounting rules where goodwill was assigned only to the businesses of the company acquired. As a result, approximately $8.808 billion of goodwill generated in the AOL Time Warner Merger has been reallocated to other segments of AOL Time Warner.

During the fourth quarter of 2002, the Company performed its annual impairment review for goodwill and other intangible assets and recorded an additional non-cash charge of approximately $10.550 billion, which is recorded as a component of operating loss in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. The impairment charge was estimated using a combination of a discounted cash flow methodology and review of market comparisons and recent transactions.

The impairment charges were non-cash in nature and did not affect the Company’s liquidity or, when combined with the impairment of goodwill of other AOL Time Warner segments, result in non-compliance with any of AOL Time Warner’s debt covenants. In connection with the TWE restructuring, TWE is no longer a co-borrower with AOL Time Warner or any of its other business segments under any credit facilities. For further information see Note 15.

7. INVESTMENTS AND JOINT VENTURES


	The Company had investments of $1.526 billion and $1.628 billion as of December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively. These investments are comprised almost entirely of equity method investees.

At December 31, 2002, investments accounted for using the equity method primarily included: Texas Cable Partners, L.P. (50% owned, approximately 1.2 million subscribers), Kansas City Cable Partners, L.P. (50% owned, approximately 306,000 subscribers), and Urban Cable Works of Philadelphia (40% owned, approximately 59,000 subscribers). At December 31, 2001, investments accounted for using the equity method primarily included: Road Runner (approximately 65% owned on a fully attributed basis), Texas Cable Partners, L.P. (50% owned, approximately 1.1 million subscribers), Kansas City Cable Partners, L.P. (50% owned, approximately 314,000 subscribers), and Urban Cable Works of Philadelphia (40% owned, approximately 66,000 subscribers). At December 31, 2000, companies accounted for using the equity method primarily included: Road Runner (46.1% owned on a fully attributed basis), Texas Cable Partners, L.P. (50% owned, approximately 1.1 million subscribers), Kansas City Cable Partners, L.P.

Time Warner Cable Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

The carrying value of the Company’s investments in its unconsolidated cable television system joint ventures was adjusted upward in the AOL Time Warner Merger by over $1 billion. This adjustment was not pushed down to the balance sheets of the equity investees. During 2002, the value of these investments experienced a decline in value and during the fourth quarter of 2002, the Company’s management determined that the decline in value was other-than-temporary and recorded an impairment charge of $420 million. This charge was not recognized on the statement of operations of the equity investees. The impairment charge of $420 million was estimated using a combination of a discounted cash flow methodology and review of market comparisons and recent transactions.


	At December 31, 2002, the amount of attributed net assets that represents the undistributed earnings of 50% or less owned entities accounted for using the equity method was approximately $51 million. The difference between the Company’s recorded investments in equity method investees and the amount of underlying equity in net assets was approximately $1.388 billion at December 31, 2002.

	Bank Credit Agreement and Commercial Paper Program

TWC, through TWE and TWE-A/N, receives financing through its participation in the AOL Time Warner revolving credit facilities. In July 2002, AOL Time Warner entered into two new, senior unsecured long-term revolving bank credit agreements with an aggregate borrowing capacity of $10.0 billion (the “2002 Credit Agreements”) and terminated its financing arrangements under certain previously existing bank credit facilities with an aggregate borrowing capacity of $12.6 billion (the “Old Credit Agreements”), which were to expire during 2002. The 2002 Credit


Time Warner Cable Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

Agreements replaced similar credit agreements that provided TWE up to $7.5 billion of borrowing capacity. The 2002 Credit Agreements are comprised of a $6.0 billion five-year revolving credit facility and a $4.0 billion 364-day revolving credit facility, borrowings under which may be extended for a period up to two years following the initial term. The borrowers under the 2002 Credit Agreements include AOL Time Warner, TWE, TWE-A/N and AOL Time Warner Finance Ireland. The obligations of AOL Time Warner and AOL Time Warner Finance Ireland are guaranteed by America Online, Time Warner, Time Warner Companies, Inc. and Turner Broadcasting System, Inc., directly or indirectly. The obligations of TWE and TWE-A/N are not guaranteed by AOL Time Warner. Borrowings bear interest at specific rates, generally based on the credit rating for each of the borrowers, currently equal to LIBOR plus 0.625% including facility fees of 0.10% and 0.125% on the total commitments of the 364-day and five-year facility, respectively. In addition, AOL Time Warner is required to pay an additional usage fee of 0.0625% if the two facilities in aggregate have more than 33% outstanding and 0.125% if the facilities have more than 66% outstanding. The additional 0.0625% usage fee is currently being paid. The 2002 Credit Agreements provide same-day funding, multi-currency capability and letter of credit availability. The facilities contain maximum leverage and minimum GAAP net worth covenants of 4.5 times and $50.0 billion, respectively, for AOL Time Warner and maximum leverage covenant of 5.0 times for TWE and TWE-A/N, but do not contain any ratings-based defaults or covenants, nor an ongoing covenant or representation specifically relating to a material adverse change in AOL Time Warner’s financial condition or results of operations. Borrowings may be used for general business purposes. As discussed further in Note 15, the 2002 Credit Agreements were amended as part of the restructuring of TWE.


	TWE has a $1.5 billion commercial paper program, which is backed by the 2002 Credit Agreements. The commercial paper program allows TWE to issue commercial paper to investors from time to time in maturities of up to 365 days. Proceeds from the commercial paper offerings are used for general corporate purposes including investments, capital expenditures and repayment of debt.

TWC has borrowed approximately $1.167 billion and $803 million under the bank credit agreement as of December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively. All borrowings under the 2002 Credit Agreements were repaid as part of the restructuring of TWE (see Note 15). TWC was also allocated approximately $291 million and $711 million of outstanding commercial paper as of December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively.

Amounts Allocated by AOL Time Warner

A portion of AOL Time Warner’s debt has been allocated to TWC based upon the level of debt assumed as part of the TWE restructuring and TWC’s historical cash flow. Amounts payable to AOL Time Warner totaling $2.099 billion and $849 million have been allocated to TWC as of December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively. The interest expense of approximately $32 million in 2002 and $18 million in 2001 related to this obligation is calculated based on the interest rate that AOL Time Warner charges for related party debt. For the year ended December 31, 2000, there were no amounts allocated by AOL Time Warner. All amounts allocated by AOL Time Warner were repaid as part of the restructuring of TWE (see Note 15).


Time Warner Cable Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

TWE Notes

The continuing operations of TWC have been allocated all of the fixed rate public borrowings of TWE. The remaining maturities of these outstanding issues range from 5 to 30 years and the interest rates range from 7.25% to 10.15%. The fixed rate public borrowings include an unamortized debt premium of $194 million and $210 million as at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The debt premium is amortized over the term of each debt issue as a reduction of interest expense. Each of Warner Communications Inc. (a subsidiary of AOL Time Warner) and American Television and Communications Corporation (a subsidiary of AOL Time Warner) (the “Guarantors”) has guaranteed a pro rata portion of TWE’s public and bank debt and accrued interest, based on the relative fair value of the net assets that each Guarantor (or its predecessor) contributed to TWE prior to the TWE restructuring. Such indebtedness is recourse to each Guarantor only to the extent of its guarantee. The indenture pursuant to which TWE’s public notes and debentures have been issued requires the majority consent of the holders of the notes and debentures to terminate the Guarantor Guarantees. There are generally no restrictions on the ability of the Guarantors to transfer material assets, other than its interests in TWE or TWC, to parties that are not Guarantors.

Fair Value of Debt

Based on the level of interest rates prevailing at December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001, the fair value of TWC’s fixed-rate debt exceeded its carrying value by approximately $216 million and $241 million at December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively. Unrealized gains or losses on debt do not result in the realization or expenditure of cash and are not recognized for financial reporting purposes unless the debt is retired prior to its maturity.

Rating Triggers and Financial Covenants

The Company’s borrowing facilities discussed above contain customary covenants. A breach of such covenants that continues beyond any grace period can constitute a default, which can limit the ability to borrow and can give rise to a right of the lenders to terminate the facility and/or require immediate payment of outstanding debt. Additionally, in the event that TWE’s credit ratings decrease, the cost of maintaining the facilities and of borrowing increases and, conversely, if the ratings improve, such costs decrease.

As of December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001, AOL Time Warner and TWC were in compliance with all covenants and did not anticipate that the Company would have any difficulty complying with them. As discussed in more detail in Note 3 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company’s continuing operations recorded a one time, non-cash charge of approximately $22.975 billion upon adoption of FAS 142 and a non-cash impairment charge of $10.550 billion following completion of its annual impairment analysis in the fourth quarter of 2002. These charges did not affect the Company’s liquidity or, in conjunction with the impairment of goodwill of other AOL Time Warner segments, result in the non-compliance with respect to any of AOL Time Warner’s debt covenants. The Company’s borrowing facilities and covenants were amended in connection with the TWE restructuring. In connection with the TWE restructuring, which occurred on March 31, 2003, TWE entered into a senior revolving bank credit facility, and the Company intends to become a joint and several borrower thereunder at the time it becomes a public registrant. TWE and the Company are no longer co-borrowers with AOL Time Warner or any of its other business segments under any credit facilities. For further information, see Note 15.

10. STOCK OPTION PLANS

In connection with the AOL Time Warner Merger, all Time Warner stock options and restricted stock outstanding as of the date of AOL Time Warner Merger became fully vested, pursuant to the terms of Time Warner’s stock option and restricted stock plans. AOL Time Warner has various stock option plans under which AOL Time Warner has granted options to purchase AOL Time Warner common stock to employees of TWC. Such options have generally been granted to employees of TWC with exercise prices equal to the fair market value at the date of grant. In accordance with APB 25 and related interpretations, compensation cost is not recognized for its stock option plans. The options become exercisable over a four-year vesting period and expire ten years from the date of grant. Subsequent to the proposed initial public offering of the Company, employees of the Company will no longer receive options to purchase AOL Time Warner common stock in connection with their employment with the Company. Instead they will be eligible to participate in the Time Warner Cable Inc. 2003 Stock Incentive Plan.

For purposes of applying FAS 123, the fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions (which, for 2000, reflect the impact of the AOL Time Warner Merger) used for grants in 2002, 2001 and 2000: dividend yields of 0% in all periods; expected volatility of 52.9%, 59.3% and 46.3%, respectively; risk-free interest rates of 4.12%, 4.83% and 6.22%, respectively; and expected terms to exercise of .47 years after vesting for 2002 and 1.0 years after vesting for 2001 and 2000. The weighted average fair value of an option granted during the year was $9.77 in 2002, $21.79 in 2001 and $22.61 in 2000.

	At December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, approximately 14,817,000, 9,939,000 and 11,653,000 AOL Time Warner stock options, respectively, were exercisable with respect to employees of the continuing operations of TWC.

Upon exercise of AOL Time Warner options, TWE is obligated to reimburse AOL Time Warner for the excess of the market price of the stock over the option exercise price, or with respect to options granted prior to June 30, 1992, the greater of the exercise price and $13.88, the market price of the common stock at the time of the TWE capitalization on June 30, 1992. TWE records a stock option distribution liability, and a corresponding adjustment to attributed net assets, with respect to unexercised options. This liability will increase or decrease depending on the market price of AOL Time Warner common stock. TWE’s portion of this liability was $3 million and $109 million as of December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively, and is included as a component of accrued compensation in other current liabilities. TWE reimbursed AOL Time Warner approximately $2 million and $98 million during the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. As a result of the TWE restructuring, effective March 31, 2003, TWC records a stock option distribution liability and operates under a similar reimbursement agreement with AOL Time Warner related to the employee stock options of all TWC employees.

11. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS


	The Company participates in various non-contributory defined benefit pension plans administered by AOL Time Warner (the “Pension Plans”) and the TWC Savings Plan (the “401K Plan”), a defined pre-tax contribution plan.

Time Warner Cable Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)


	Benefits under the Pension Plans for all employees are determined based on formulas that reflect employees’ years of service and compensation levels during their employment period. AOL Time Warner’s common stock represents approximately 5% and 10% of defined benefit plan assets at December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively.

	Texas Cable Partners, L.P.

In 2000, TWE-A/N and TCI Cable Holdings, LLC entered into an agreement to provide funding on a pro rata basis for Texas Cable Partners, L.P., in an amount necessary to comply with the covenants in its credit agreement and pay all of its obligations each month, through March 31, 2001, which was subsequently extended through January 15, 2004 for 2003 funding shortfalls (the “Funding Agreement”). Promissory notes issued under the Funding Agreement bear interest at LIBOR plus 4% (adjusted quarterly and added to the principal amount of the note) and are subordinate in payment to the credit agreement of Texas Cable Partners, L.P. and are payable on the day following the date on which Texas Cable Partners, L.P. has no outstanding borrowings under its senior credit agreement. The related interest earned for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000 totaled approximately $13 million, $10 million and $3 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001, the Company holds $268 million and $161 million, respectively of promissory notes from Texas Cable Partners, L.P. (including accrued interest of approximately $24 million and $11 million, respectively) which have been recorded in investments.


	Road Runner

In 2000, TWC advanced $41 million to the Road Runner joint venture under a subordinated note receivable. This note accrued interest at a rate of 15% per annum. During 2001, the note was converted to Road Runner Series C Preferred Capital as part of the restructuring. Subsequent to the restructuring of the Road Runner joint venture, as described in Note 2, TWC made additional advances to Road Runner, which bear interest at the prevailing cost of funds, as defined in the Road Runner partnership agreement. As of December 31, 2001, the Road Runner note, including accrued interest of $1 million, totaled $149 million. As discussed in Note 2, TWC consolidated the financial position and results of operations of Road Runner retroactive to the beginning of 2002.

13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES


	Firm Commitments

The Company had commitments under various firm contractual arrangements to make future payments for goods and services. These firm commitments secure future rights to various assets and services to be used in the normal course of operations. For example, the Company is contractually committed to make some minimum lease payments for the use of property under operating lease agreements. In accordance with current accounting rules, the future rights and obligations pertaining to these contracts are not reflected as assets or liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

As discussed above, the Company and Comcast are also parties to a funding agreement that requires the parties to provide additional funding to Texas Cable Partners, L.P. on a month-to-month basis in an amount projected to enable Texas Cable Partners, L.P. to comply with all of the covenants in its senior credit agreement and to pay all of its liabilities and obligations as they mature during that month. The Company’s funding obligations under the funding agreement totaled $70 million for the year ended December 31, 2002. This funding agreement expires on January 15, 2004 for 2003 funding shortfalls. The Company’s expected funding obligation under this agreement is reflected in the table below under “Expected joint venture funding commitments.” Approximately $69 million of the Company’s total projected 2003 funding commitment of $86 million was funded in the first quarter of 2003.


Time Warner Cable Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

The following table summarizes the material firm commitments of the Company’s continuing operations at December 31, 2002 and the timing and effect that these obligations are expected to have on the Company’s liquidity and cash flow in future periods. This table excludes repayments on long-term debt. TWC expects to fund these firm commitments with operating cash flow generated in the normal course of business.

^(a) The Company has purchase commitments with various programming vendors in order to provide video services to subscribers. Programming fees represent a significant portion of its cost of revenues. Future fees under such contracts are based on numerous variables, including number and type of customers. The amounts of the commitments reflected above are based on the number of consolidated subscribers at December 31, 2002 applied to the per subscriber contractual rates contained in the contracts that were in effect as of December 31, 2002 and revised to include significant contracts signed in March 2003.

^(b) The projected funding commitments relate to Texas Cable Partners, L.P.

^(c) Operating lease obligations primarily relate to the minimum lease rental obligations for real estate and operating equipment in various locations.

At any time following the second anniversary of the closing of the restructuring of TWE, Comcast has the right to require TWC to purchase all or a portion of the Comcast’s limited partnership interest in TWE at an appraised fair market value, subject to a right of first refusal in favor of AOL Time Warner. Additionally, Comcast also has the right, at any time following the second anniversary of the closing of the restructuring of TWE, to sell all or a portion of its interest in TWE to a third party in a bona fide transaction, subject to a right of first refusal, first, in favor of AOL Time Warner and, second, in favor of TWC. If TWC and AOL Time Warner do not collectively elect to purchase all of Comcast’s offered partnership interest, Comcast may proceed with the sale of the offered partnership interest to that third party on terms no more favorable than those offered to TWC and AOL Time Warner, if that third party agrees to be bound by the same terms and conditions applicable to Comcast as a limited partner in TWE. The purchase price payable by TWC or AOL Time Warner as consideration for the Comcast’s partnership interest may be cash; common stock, if the common stock of the purchaser is then publicly traded, or a combination of both.


Time Warner Cable Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)


	The Company’s total rent expense amounted to $86 million, $78 million and $70 million during the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively.


	Contingent Commitments

The Company presently has certain cable franchises containing provisions requiring the construction of cable plant and the provision of services to customers within the franchise areas. In connection with certain obligations under existing franchise agreements, TWC obtains surety bonds or letters of credit guaranteeing performance to municipalities and public utilities and payment of insurance premiums. Such surety bonds and letters of credit as of December 31, 2002 amounted to $152 million. Payments under these arrangements are required only in the event of nonperformance. The Company does not expect that the contingent commitments summarized below will result in any amounts being paid in the foreseeable future.

The Company has an interest in and manages Kansas City Cable Partners, L.P. and Texas Cable Partners, L.P., both of which are 50%-owned by TWE and 50%-owned by Comcast. Under the terms of the joint venture agreements, either partner may after August 31, 2003 with respect to Kansas City Cable Partners, L.P. and after December 31, 2003 with respect to Texas Cable Partners, L.P., initiate buy-sell procedures based on the market value of the joint venture interests. The Company does not have current plans to initiate the buy-sell procedure in either joint venture. If a buy-sell procedure were initiated by Comcast with respect to either joint venture, TWE would have a choice either to buy Comcast’s interests in the joint venture or to sell its interests in the joint venture to Comcast. However, in such an event, the Company would be under no obligation to purchase Comcast’s interests. Additionally, in 2005, under the terms of both joint venture agreements, either partner may trigger the dissolution of the joint ventures resulting in the distribution of the net assets of the joint ventures to the partners. Any actions to be taken by the Company under the buy-sell or dissolution procedures will be evaluated in the context of the Company’s strategy for its Cable operations and relevant financial constraints. These buy-sell arrangements are not reflected in the above table of contingent commitments.


	TWC does not provide any guarantees related to third-party debt of its unconsolidated cable television system joint ventures.


	Legal Proceedings

On June 16, 1998 plaintiffs in Andrew Parker and Eric DeBrauwere, et. al. v. Time Warner Entertainment Company, L.P. and Time Warner Cable filed this purported nationwide class action in federal court in New York claiming that the TWE sold its subscribers’ personally identifiable information and failed to inform subscribers of their privacy rights in violation of the Cable Communications Policy Act of 1984 (47 U.S.C. §§ 551) and under common law. The plaintiffs are seeking damages and declaratory and injunctive relief. On August 6, 1998, TWE filed a Motion to Dismiss, which was denied on September 7, 1999. On December 8, 1999, TWE filed a motion to deny class certification, which was granted on January 9, 2001 with respect to monetary damages, but denied with respect to injunction relief. On June 2, 2003, the Second Circuit vacated the district court’s decision denying class certification as a matter of law and remanded the case for further proceedings on class certification and other matters. Although the Company is aggressively defending this matter, management is unable to predict the outcome of the case or reasonably estimate a range of possible loss.


	In accordance with a March 2002 ruling by the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) that the definition of “cable service” does not include cable-modem service, the Company stopped collecting and paying all franchise fees related to revenue derived from cable-modem service. Several local franchising authorities have threatened lawsuits and have asked the FCC to determine


Time Warner Cable Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

whether the Company’s decision to stop payments is within its rights. In addition, the city of Rochester, New York, along with a number of other franchising authorities in the Rochester area, filed suit against the Company on September 27, 2002 in the Supreme Court for the State of New York in Monroe County, alleging that the Company’s failure to pay franchise fees with respect to revenue derived from cable-modem service constituted a breach of relevant franchise agreements, and are seeking more than $1 million in damages. Although the Company intends to defend against this lawsuit vigorously, management is unable to predict the outcome of the case or reasonably estimate a range of possible loss.

On February 4, 2003, plaintiffs in Hark Chan and Data Innovation LLC v. Time Warner Entertainment Company, L.P. et al., filed a patent infringement complaint in the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas. The plaintiffs have named as defendants, among others, TWE, TWE-A/N, Texas Cable Partners, L.P. and Road Runner. The plaintiffs allege that the defendants’ high-speed data and video-on-demand services infringe various patents held by the plaintiffs. The complaint does not allege any willful infringement. The plaintiffs seek injunctive relief and monetary damages. Although the Company intends to defend against this lawsuit vigorously, management is unable to predict the outcome of the case or reasonably estimate a range of possible loss.

As of May 12, 2003, three putative class action lawsuits have been filed alleging violations of ERISA in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on behalf of current and former participants in the AOL Time Warner Savings Plan, the AOL Time Warner Thrift Plan and/or the Time Warner Cable Savings Plan (the “Plans”), which may include employees of TWE. Collectively, these lawsuits name as defendants AOL Time Warner, certain current and former directors and officers of AOL Time Warner and members of the Administrative Committees of the Plans. One of these cases also names TWE as a defendant. The lawsuits allege that AOL Time Warner and other defendants breached certain fiduciary duties to Plan participants by, inter alia, continuing to offer AOL Time Warner stock as an investment under the Plans, and by failing to disclose, among other things, that AOL Time Warner was experiencing declining advertising revenues and that AOL Time Warner was inappropriately inflating advertising revenues through various transactions. The complaints seek unspecified damages and unspecified equitable relief. The ERISA actions have been consolidated with other AOL Time Warner-related shareholder lawsuits and derivative actions under the caption In re AOL Time Warner Inc. Securities and “ERISA” Litigation in the Southern District of New York. Although AOL Time Warner intends to defend against these lawsuits vigorously, the Company is unable to predict the outcome of these cases or reasonably estimate a range of possible loss.

As part of the TWE restructuring, AOL Time Warner has indemnified the cable businesses of TWE from and against any and all liabilities relating to, arising out of or resulting from specified litigation matters brought against the TWE Non-Cable Businesses, including the Six Flags litigation as described below. Although AOL Time Warner has agreed to indemnify the cable businesses of TWE against such liabilities, TWE remains a named party in certain litigation matters.


	On June 24, 1997, plaintiffs in Six Flags Over Georgia LLC et al. v. Time Warner Entertainment Company, L.P. et al. filed an amended complaint in the Superior Court of Gwinnett County,


Time Warner Cable Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

Georgia, claiming that, inter alia, defendants, which include TWE, violated their fiduciary duties in operating the Six Flags Over Georgia theme park. On December 18, 1998, following a trial, a jury returned a verdict in favor of plaintiffs. The total awarded to plaintiffs was approximately $454 million in compensatory and punitive damages. The case was appealed to the Georgia Court of Appeals, which affirmed the trial court’s judgment, and denied reconsideration. The Supreme Court of Georgia denied certiorari on January 18, 2001. On February 28, 2001, the compensatory damages portion of the award plus accrued interest was paid to plaintiffs. On March 1, 2001, the United States Supreme Court granted a stay as to payment of the punitive damages part of the jury’s original award, pending the resolution of a petition for certiorari to be filed by TWE, which was filed on June 15, 2001. On October 1, 2001, the United States Supreme Court granted certiorari, vacated the opinion of the Georgia Court of Appeals and remanded the case for further consideration as to punitive damages. On March 29, 2002, the Georgia Court of Appeals affirmed and reinstated its earlier decision regarding the punitive damage award. On April 18, 2002, TWE filed a petition for certiorari to the Georgia Supreme Court seeking review of the decision of the Georgia Court of Appeals, which was denied on September 16, 2002. The Georgia Supreme Court subsequently denied TWE’s motion for reconsideration of its September 16th ruling. TWE filed a petition for writ of certiorari to the United States Supreme Court, which was denied on April 21, 2003. The punitive damages portion of the award plus accrued interest totaling $391 million has been paid by WCI (“Warner Communication, Inc.”), and the litigation has been concluded.

On April 8, 2002, three former employees of certain subsidiaries of AOL Time Warner filed Henry Spann et al. v. AOL Time Warner Inc. et al., a purported class action, in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. Plaintiffs have named as defendants, among others, AOL Time Warner, TWE, WEA Corp., WEA Manufacturing Inc., Warner Bros. Records, Atlantic Recording Corporation, various pension plans sponsored by the companies and the administrative committees of those plans. Plaintiffs allege that defendants miscalculated the proper amount of pension benefits owed to them and other class members as required under the plans in violation of ERISA. The lawsuit has been transferred to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. Due to the preliminary status of this matter, TWE is unable to predict the outcome of this suit.


	The costs and other effects of pending or future litigation, governmental investigations, legal and administrative cases and proceedings (whether civil or criminal), settlements, judgments and investigations, claims and changes in those matters (including those matters described above) could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and operating results.

15. SUBSEQUENT EVENT

In conjunction with the TWE restructuring, the $4.0 billion 364-day revolving bank credit facility that was entered into as part of the 2002 Credit Agreements along with AOL Time Warner and certain of its subsidiaries was bifurcated into two separate amended and restated credit agreements. The two facilities evidence the separate direct obligations of AOL Time Warner, with aggregate commitments of $2.5 billion, and TWE, with aggregate commitments of $1.5 billion. TWE’s $1.5 billion facility, hereafter referred to as the “Senior Revolving Bank Credit Facility,” matures on January 7, 2004, with an option to extend the maturity for up to one year. TWE-AN is not a borrower under the Senior Revolving Bank Credit Facility. If TWC becomes a public registrant, TWC will become a joint and several borrower under the Senior Revolving Bank Credit Facility.

Borrowings under the Senior Revolving Bank Credit Facility bear interest at rates generally determined by reference to the credit rating of TWE until TWC becomes a public registrant and a joint and several borrower, thereafter such rate will be determined by reference to TWC’s credit rating. The borrowings currently bear interest at the rate of LIBOR plus 0.525%. In addition, TWE is required to pay a facility fee of 0.10% per annum on the aggregate commitments under the Senior Revolving Bank Credit Facility and a usage fee of 0.0625% per annum on the outstanding balance of loans under this facility at all times that the aggregate of the outstanding balances are less than or equal to $990 million, and 0.125% at all times that the aggregate of the outstanding balances exceeds $990 million.

Borrowings under the Senior Revolving Bank Credit Facility may be used for general corporate purposes, and unused capacity may be used in support of commercial paper borrowings. This facility provides for same-day funding and multi-currency capability. This facility contains, among other covenants, financial covenants providing for a maximum ratio of consolidated total debt (excluding amounts owing to preferred equity interests and net of cash balances in excess of $25 million) to consolidated EBITDA of 5:1, and a minimum ratio of consolidated EBITDA to consolidated cash interest expense of 2:1. The facility does not contain any credit ratings-based


Time Warner Cable Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)


	defaults or covenants, nor any ongoing covenants or representations specifically relating to a material adverse change in the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.


	TWE is no longer a co-borrower with AOL Time Warner or any of AOL Time Warner’s other business segments under any credit facility.


	In connection with the TWE restructuring, all amounts due to AOL Time Warner and all outstanding TWE-A/N debt was extinguished, and $600 million of indebtedness was incurred under the Senior Revolving Bank Credit Facility.

	As previously noted, TWC incurred $2.1 billion of debt under its senior unsecured term loan facility to assume debt from one of Comcast’s subsidiaries. The form of this debt is a 1-year term loan with an optional extension for an additional year. The loan is guaranteed by TWE and is prepayable. The term loan contains a maximum leverage ratio covenant (including amounts owing to preferred equity interests and net of cash balances in excess of $25 million) and a minimum interest coverage covenant for TWC of 3.5 times EBITDA and 2.0 times cash interest expense, respectively. A total of $400 million of quarterly amortization commences on December 31, 2003 prior to final repayment of the remaining $1.7 billion on March 31, 2005, assuming the optional extension is exercised. Borrowings bear interest at specific rates, based on the credit rating for TWC or TWE, which is currently equal to LIBOR plus 0.875%.


	Additionally, the Company issued $2.4 billion in mandatorily redeemable preferred equity to a subsidiary of AOL Time Warner in conjunction with the TWE restructuring. The preferred equity bears interest at an annual rate of 8.059%, payable in cash quarterly. The preferred equity matures and is required to be redeemed by TWE in cash on April 1, 2023.

Subsequent to the TWE restructuring and for so long as the indebtedness of TWC and/or its subsidiaries and affiliates is attributable to AOL Time Warner (in evaluating its credit profile), in AOL Time Warner’s reasonable judgment, TWC, its subsidiaries and entities that it manages will not, without the consent of AOL Time Warner, create, incur or guarantee any indebtedness except to AOL Time Warner, including preferred equity, or rental obligations if its ratio of indebtedness plus six times its annual rental expense to consolidated operating income (loss) before depreciation of tangible assets and amortization of intangible assets and impairment write-downs related to goodwill and other intangible assets (“EBITDA”) plus rental expense, or “EBITDAR,” then exceeds or would exceed 3:1.

1.		DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

		Description of Business

		Time Warner Cable Inc. (“TWC” or the “Company”) is the second largest operator of cable systems in the United States. TWC was formed as part of the restructuring of Time Warner Entertainment Company, L.P. (“TWE”), completed on March 31, 2003 (the “TWE restructuring”) as described in detail below. The Company’s operations primarily consist of selling video programming and high-speed data services to subscribers for a monthly fee and related advertising services to a variety of local, regional and national clients. Subscriber services are distributed through a network of coaxial and fiber optic cables. The Company’s continuing operations, including its unconsolidated cable television system joint ventures, served approximately 10.9 million and 10.8 million basic subscribers as of March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Excluding the unconsolidated cable television system joint ventures, the Company’s continuing operations served approximately 9.4 million and 9.3 million basic subscribers as of March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

		All of AOL Time Warner Inc.’s (“AOL Time Warner”) interests in cable systems, including all cable systems held by TWE and previously held by TWI Cable Inc. are now controlled by TWC. Prior to the restructuring as described below, TWE was a partnership between AOL Time Warner and subsidiaries of Comcast Corporation (“Comcast”) that owned and operated substantially all of Warner Bros., Home Box Office and held interests in The WB Network, Comedy Partners (“Comedy Central”) and Courtroom Television Network (“Court TV”), (collectively, the “TWE Non-Cable Businesses”) and certain cable systems.

		Restructuring of Time Warner Entertainment Company, L.P.

		On March 31, 2003, AOL Time Warner and Comcast completed the restructuring of TWE. As a result of the restructuring of TWE, the TWE Non-Cable Businesses were distributed by TWE to AOL Time Warner. AOL Time Warner then contributed the cable systems owned by TWI Cable and substantially all of its interest in TWE, which now holds only cable systems, to TWC. In exchange for its 27.64% interest in the Series A Capital and Residual Capital of TWE, Comcast: (i) received AOL Time Warner preferred stock, which is convertible into $1.5 billion of AOL Time Warner common stock; (ii) received a 21.0% economic interest in TWC cable systems; and (iii) was relieved of $2.1 billion of pre-existing debt at one of its subsidiaries, which was incurred by TWC as part of the restructuring.

		Comcast’s 21.0% economic interest in TWC’s cable business is held through a 17.9% direct ownership interest in TWC (representing a 10.7% voting interest) and a limited partnership interest in TWE (representing a 4.7% residual equity interest). AOL Time Warner’s 79% economic interest in TWC’s cable business is held through an 82.1% ownership interest in TWC (representing an 89.3% voting interest) and a partnership interest in TWE (representing a 1% residual equity interest). AOL Time Warner also holds a $2.4 billion mandatorily redeemable preferred equity interest in TWE. AOL Time Warner effectively increased its economic ownership interest in TWE from approximately 73% to approximately 79%. This acquisition of an additional 6% interest in TWE, as well as Comcast’s exchange of a portion of its interest in TWE for a 17.9% interest in TWC, have been accounted for as step acquisitions.

The purchase consideration paid by AOL Time Warner in the TWE restructuring was as follows:


Description		Amount

		(in millions)
Debt incurred at TWC		$	2,100
Issuance of AOL Time Warner mandatorily convertible preferred stock to Comcast			1,500
Value of interest in cable assets transferred to Comcast^(a)			1,000
Acquisition costs			44

	Total Purchase Consideration	$	4,644

^(a)		Based on a discounted cash flow analysis and comparison to comparable market data

		Of the $4.644 billion purchase consideration paid by AOL Time Warner, $880 million (i.e., $1.4 billion of the purchase consideration less $520 million which represents the book value of the net assets acquired) is attributable to the incremental interest in the cable business acquired. Approximately $1.427 billion of the purchase price was allocated to goodwill at the TWE Non-Cable Businesses (i.e., $3.244 billion of purchase consideration less $1.817 billion which represents the book value of the net assets acquired). In addition, the 17.9% interest in TWC retained by Comcast was stepped up to fair value, resulting in a $2.362 billion adjustment that is reflected as an increase in cable franchise license intangibles and a corresponding increase to contributed capital. The franchise license intangible assets will not be amortized but will be tested for impairment on an annual basis. A deferred tax liability of $1.296 billion and corresponding amount of goodwill was also recorded on the step up of all cable franchise license intangible.

		As a result of the TWE restructuring described above, the TWE Non-Cable Businesses have been reflected as a discontinued operation for all periods presented. Revenues from the discontinued operations of the TWE Non-Cable Businesses totaled $2.780 billion and $2.352 billion for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Net income (loss) from the discontinued operations of the TWE Non-Cable Businesses totaled $150 million and $(4.860 billion) for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
