OVERVIEW
TWC is the second-largest cable operator in the U.S. and is an industry leader in developing
and launching innovative video, data and voice services. As of September 30, 2007, TWC had
approximately 13.3 million basic video subscribers in technologically advanced, well-clustered
systems located mainly in five geographic areas New York state, the Carolinas, Ohio, southern
California and Texas. As of September 30, 2007, TWC was the largest cable operator in a number of
large cities, including New York City and Los Angeles.
On July 31, 2006, a subsidiary of TWC, Time Warner NY Cable LLC (TW NY), and Comcast
Corporation (together with its subsidiaries, Comcast) completed the acquisition of substantially
all of the cable assets of Adelphia Communications Corporation (Adelphia) and related
transactions. In addition, effective January 1, 2007, TWC began consolidating the results of
certain cable systems located in Kansas City, south and west Texas and New Mexico (the Kansas City
Pool) upon the distribution of the assets of Texas and Kansas City Cable Partners, L.P. (TKCCP)
to TWC and Comcast. Prior to January 1, 2007, TWCs interest in TKCCP was reported as an equity
method investment. Refer to Recent Developments for further details.
Time Warner Inc. (Time Warner) currently owns approximately 84.0% of the common stock of TWC
(representing a 90.6% voting interest). The financial results of TWCs operations are consolidated
by Time Warner.

TIME WARNER CABLE INC.
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION(Continued)
TWC principally offers three services video, high-speed data and voice, which have been
primarily targeted to residential customers. Video is TWCs largest service in terms of revenues
generated, and providing video services is a competitive and highly penetrated business. TWC
expects to continue to increase video revenues through the offering of advanced digital video
services, as well as through price increases and digital video subscriber growth. TWCs digital
video subscribers provide a broad base of potential customers for additional advanced services.
Video programming costs represent a major component of TWCs expenses and are expected to continue
to increase, reflecting contractual rate increases, subscriber growth and the expansion of service
offerings. TWC expects that its video service margins will decline over the next few years as
increases in programming costs outpace growth in video revenues.
High-speed data has been one of TWCs fastest-growing services over the past several years and
is a key driver of its results. As of September 30, 2007, TWC had approximately 7.4 million
residential high-speed data subscribers. TWC expects continued strong growth in residential
high-speed data subscribers and revenues for the foreseeable future; however, the rate of growth of
both subscribers and revenues is expected to continue to slow over time as high-speed data services
become increasingly well-penetrated. TWC also offers commercial high-speed data services and had
approximately 272,000 commercial high-speed data subscribers as of September 30, 2007.
Approximately 2.6 million subscribers received Digital Phone service, TWCs voice service, as
of September 30, 2007. Under TWCs primary calling plan, for a monthly fixed fee, Digital Phone
customers typically receive the following services: an unlimited local, in-state and U.S., Canada
and Puerto Rico calling plan, as well as call waiting, caller ID and E911 services. TWC also offers
additional calling plans with a variety of calling options that are designed to meet customers
particular usage patterns. TWC is currently introducing an international calling plan and it
intends to offer additional plans in the future. Digital Phone enables TWC to offer its customers a
convenient package, or bundle, of video, high-speed data and voice services, and to compete
effectively against bundled services available from its competitors. TWC expects strong increases
in Digital Phone subscribers and revenues for the foreseeable future. TWC has begun to introduce
Business Class Phone, a commercial Digital Phone service, to small- and medium-sized businesses and
will continue to roll out this service during the fourth quarter of 2007 in most of the systems TWC
owned before and retained after the transactions with Adelphia and Comcast (the Legacy Systems).
TWC has also been introducing this service in the systems acquired in and retained after the
transactions with Adelphia and Comcast (the Acquired Systems) during 2007 and will continue the
roll-out in the Acquired Systems during 2008.
In November 2005, TWC and several other cable companies, together with Sprint Nextel
Corporation (Sprint), announced the formation of a joint venture to develop integrated wireline
and wireless video, data and voice services. Since 2006, TWC has offered a bundle that includes
Sprint wireless service (with some unique TWC features) in some of its operating areas.
Additionally, TWC is a participant in a wireless spectrum joint venture with several other cable
companies (the Wireless Joint Venture), which, on November 29, 2006, was awarded certain advanced
wireless spectrum licenses in an FCC auction.
Some of TWCs principal competitors, direct broadcast satellite operators and incumbent local
telephone companies in particular, either offer or are making significant capital investments that
will allow them to offer services that provide features and functions comparable to the video, data
and/or voice services that TWC offers, and they also offer them in bundles similar to TWCs. The
availability of these bundled service offerings has intensified competition and TWC expects that
competition will continue to intensify in the future as these offerings become more prevalent.
In addition to the subscription services described above, TWC also earns revenues by selling
advertising time to national, regional and local businesses.

TIME WARNER CABLE INC.
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION(Continued)
As of July 31, 2006, the date the transactions with Adelphia and Comcast closed, the
penetration rates for basic video, digital video and high-speed data services were generally lower
in the Acquired Systems than in the Legacy Systems. Furthermore, certain advanced services were not
available in some of the Acquired Systems, and an IP-based telephony service was not available in
any of the Acquired Systems. To increase the penetration of these services in the Acquired Systems,
TWC has undertaken a significant integration effort that includes upgrading the capacity and
technical performance of these systems to levels that will allow the delivery of these advanced
services and features. Such integration-related efforts are expected to be substantially complete
by the end of 2007. As of September 30, 2007, Digital Phone was available to nearly 80% of the
homes passed in the Acquired Systems. TWC expects the roll-out of Digital Phone service across the
remainder of the Acquired Systems to be substantially complete by the end of 2007.
Improvement in the financial and operating performance of the Acquired Systems depends in part
on the completion of these initiatives and the subsequent availability of the Companys bundled
advanced services in the Acquired Systems. In addition, due to both historical and current
operational and competitive challenges, the Company expects that the acquired systems located in
Los Angeles, CA and Dallas, TX will continue to require more time and resources than the other
acquired systems to stabilize and then meaningfully improve their financial and operating
performance. As of September 30, 2007, the Los Angeles and Dallas acquired systems together served
approximately 1.9 million basic video subscribers (about 50% of the basic video subscribers served
by the Acquired Systems). TWC believes that by upgrading the plant and integrating the Acquired
Systems into its operations, there is a significant opportunity over time to increase service
penetration rates, and improve Subscription revenues and Operating Income before Depreciation and
Amortization in the Acquired Systems.
Recent Developments
Time Warners Interest in TW NY Cable Holding Inc.
In September 2007, Time Warner proposed to TWC that it enter into discussions regarding a
transaction pursuant to which the Companys subsidiary, TW NY Cable Holding Inc. (TW NY Holding),
would redeem a significant portion of Time Warners 12.43% non-voting, equity interest in it. On
September 13, 2007, the Companys Board of Directors appointed a special committee of independent
directors and authorized it to consider any proposal Time Warner may make in this regard and
negotiate with Time Warner regarding the terms of such a transaction. No assurance can be given
that any proposal made by Time Warner will result in an agreement for TW NY Holding to redeem a
portion of Time Warners interest in it or, if an agreement is reached, that a redemption
transaction will be consummated. In April 2005, in connection with the announcement of the
Transactions (as defined below), the Company valued this interest (as if the Transactions had
occurred at that time) at approximately $2.9 billion. This valuation is not necessarily indicative
of the fair value of the interest as of the date of this report. If a redemption transaction takes
place, the Company would expect to finance the transaction through available borrowing capacity
under its existing committed revolving credit facility or by accessing the bank credit or debt
capital markets. If a redemption transaction is completed, it will not change the 84% ownership
interest Time Warner has in the Companys common stock.

Sale of Certain North Carolina Cable Systems
The closing of the transactions with Adelphia (discussed below), which included the Companys
acquisition from Adelphia of certain cable systems in Mooresville, Cornelius, Davidson and
unincorporated Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, triggered a right of first refusal under the
franchise agreements covering these systems. In August 2007, the Company received notice from these
municipalities (the Consortium) that they have exercised their right to acquire these systems. As
a result, the Company expects these cable systems, serving approximately 14,000 basic video
subscribers as of September 30, 2007, will be sold to the Consortium during the fourth quarter of
2007 for a purchase price of approximately $50 million. The Company
does not expect the sale of these systems will have a material impact on the Companys results of
operations or cash flows.
2007 Bond Offering
On April 9, 2007, TWC issued $5.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured
notes and debentures (the 2007 Bond Offering) consisting of $1.5 billion principal amount of
5.40% Notes due 2012, $2.0 billion principal amount of 5.85% Notes due 2017 and $1.5 billion
principal amount of 6.55% Debentures due 2037 pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation S under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act). The Company used the net proceeds from
this issuance to repay all of the outstanding indebtedness under its $4.0 billion three-year term
loan facility and a portion of the outstanding indebtedness under its $4.0 billion five-year term
loan facility. On November 5, 2007, the Company and the two subsidiaries of the Company that
guarantee the Companys obligations under the securities
exchanged substantially all of the securities issued in the
2007 Bond Offering for a like aggregate principal amount of registered securities with the same
terms pursuant to a registered exchange offer. See Financial Condition and LiquidityDebt
Securities for further details.
TKCCP Joint Venture
As discussed further in Note 3 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements, TKCCP
was a 50-50 joint venture between a consolidated subsidiary of TWC (Time Warner
Entertainment-Advance/Newhouse Partnership (TWE-A/N)) and Comcast. On January 1, 2007, TKCCP
distributed its assets to TWC and Comcast. TWC received the Kansas City Pool, which served
approximately 788,000 basic video subscribers as of December 31, 2006, and Comcast received the
pool of assets consisting of the Houston cable systems (the Houston Pool), which served
approximately 795,000 basic video subscribers as of December 31, 2006. TWC began consolidating the
results of the Kansas City Pool on January 1, 2007. TKCCP was formally dissolved on May 15, 2007.
For accounting purposes, the Company has treated the distribution of TKCCPs assets as a sale of
the Companys 50% equity interest in the Houston Pool and as an acquisition of Comcasts 50% equity
interest in the Kansas City Pool. As a result of the sale of the Companys 50% equity interest in
the Houston Pool, the Company recorded a pretax gain of approximately $146 million in the first
quarter of 2007, which is included as a component of other income, net, in the accompanying
consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.

Adelphia Acquisition and Related Transactions
As discussed further in Note 3 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements, on
July 31, 2006, TW NY and Comcast completed their respective acquisitions of assets comprising in
the aggregate substantially all of the cable assets of Adelphia (the Adelphia Acquisition).
Additionally, on July 31, 2006, immediately before the closing of the Adelphia Acquisition,
Comcasts interests in TWC and Time Warner Entertainment Company, L.P. (TWE), a subsidiary of
TWC, were redeemed (the TWC Redemption and the TWE Redemption, respectively, and, collectively,
the Redemptions). Following the Redemptions and the Adelphia Acquisition, on July 31, 2006, TW NY
and Comcast swapped certain cable systems, most of which were acquired from Adelphia, in order to
enhance TWCs and Comcasts respective geographic clusters of subscribers (the Exchange and,
together with the Adelphia Acquisition and the Redemptions, the Transactions). In addition, on
July 28, 2006, American Television and Communications Corporation (ATC), a subsidiary of Time
Warner, contributed its 1% common equity interest and $2.4 billion preferred equity interest in TWE
to TW NY Holding, a subsidiary of TWC and the parent of TW NY, in exchange for a 12.43% non-voting
common stock interest in TW NY Holding (the ATC Contribution).
The results of the systems acquired in connection with the Transactions have been included in
the accompanying consolidated statement of operations since the closing of the Transactions. The
systems previously owned by TWC that were transferred to Comcast in connection with the Redemptions
and the Exchange (the Transferred Systems) have been reflected as discontinued operations in the
accompanying consolidated financial statements for all periods presented (Note 3).
As a result of the closing of the Transactions, TWC acquired systems with approximately
4.0 million basic video subscribers and disposed of the Transferred Systems, with approximately 0.8
million basic video subscribers, for a net gain of approximately 3.2 million basic video
subscribers. As of September 30, 2007, Time Warner owned approximately 84.0% of TWCs outstanding
common stock (including 82.7% of TWCs outstanding Class A common stock and all outstanding shares
of TWCs Class B common stock), as well as a 12.43% non-voting common stock interest in TW NY
Holding. As a result of the Redemptions, Comcast no longer had an interest in TWC or TWE.
On February 13, 2007, Adelphias Chapter 11 reorganization plan became effective and, under
applicable securities law regulations and provisions of the U.S. bankruptcy code, TWC became a
public company subject to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
Exchange Act). Under the terms of the reorganization plan, most of the 155,913,430 shares of
TWCs Class A common stock that Adelphia received in the Adelphia Acquisition (representing
approximately 16% of TWCs outstanding common stock) are being distributed to Adelphias creditors.
As of September 30, 2007, approximately 96% of these shares of Class A common stock had been
distributed to Adelphias creditors. The remaining shares are expected to be distributed during the
coming months as the remaining disputes are resolved by the bankruptcy court. On March 1, 2007,
TWCs Class A common stock began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol TWC
(Note 3).

FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION
Revenues
The Companys revenues consist of Subscription and Advertising revenues. Subscription revenues
consist of revenues from video, high-speed data and voice services.
Video revenues include monthly fees for basic, standard and digital services from both
residential and commercial subscribers, together with charges for premium programming and
subscription-video-on-demand services and related equipment rental charges, including charges for
set-top boxes. Video revenues also include installation, pay-per-view and video-on-demand charges
and franchise fees collected on behalf of local franchising authorities. Several ancillary items
are also included within video revenues, such as commissions earned on the sale of merchandise by
home shopping services and rental income earned on the leasing of antenna attachments on the
Companys transmission towers. In each period presented, these ancillary items constitute less than
2% of video revenues.
High-speed data revenues include monthly subscriber fees from both residential and commercial
subscribers, along with related equipment rental charges, home networking fees and installation
charges. High-speed data revenues also include fees received from third-party internet service
providers, certain cable systems owned by a subsidiary of TWE-A/N and managed by the
Advance/Newhouse Partnership (A/N) and, in 2006, fees received from TKCCP.
Voice revenues include monthly subscriber fees principally from voice subscribers, including
Digital Phone subscribers and approximately 43,000 circuit-switched subscribers (as of September
30, 2007) acquired from Comcast in the Exchange, along with related installation charges. TWC
continues to provide traditional, circuit-switched services to some of those subscribers, but is in
the process of discontinuing the circuit-switched offering in accordance with regulatory
requirements. In those areas where the circuit-switched offering is discontinued, Digital Phone is
the only voice service TWC provides.
Advertising revenues include the fees charged to local, regional and national advertising
customers for advertising placed on the Companys video and high-speed data services. Nearly all
Advertising revenues are attributable to the Companys video service.
Costs and Expenses
Costs of revenues include: video programming costs (including fees paid to the programming
vendors net of certain amounts received from the vendors); high-speed data connectivity costs;
Digital Phone network costs; other service-related expenses, including non-administrative labor
costs directly associated with the delivery of services to subscribers; maintenance of the
Companys delivery systems; franchise fees; and other related costs. The Companys programming
agreements are generally multi-year agreements that provide for the Company to make payments to the
programming vendors at agreed upon rates based on the number of subscribers to which the Company
provides the service.
Selling, general and administrative expenses include amounts not directly associated with the
delivery of services to subscribers or the maintenance of the Companys delivery systems, such as
administrative labor costs, marketing expenses, billing charges, non-plant repair and maintenance
costs, management fees paid to Time Warner and other administrative overhead costs, net of
management fees received from TKCCP. Effective August 1, 2006, TWC no longer receives management
fees from TKCCP.

TIME WARNER CABLE INC.
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION(Continued)
Use of Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization and Free Cash Flow
Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization (OIBDA) is a financial measure not
calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).
The Company defines OIBDA as Operating Income before depreciation of tangible assets and
amortization of intangible assets. Management utilizes OIBDA, among other measures, in evaluating
the performance of the Companys business because OIBDA eliminates the uneven effect across its
business of considerable amounts of depreciation of tangible assets and amortization of intangible
assets recognized in business combinations. Additionally, management utilizes OIBDA because it
believes this measure provides valuable insight into the underlying performance of the Companys
individual cable systems by removing the effects of items that are not within the control of local
personnel charged with managing these systems such as income tax provision, other income (expense),
net, minority interest expense, net, income from equity investments, net, and interest expense,
net. In this regard, OIBDA is a significant measure used in the Companys annual incentive
compensation programs. OIBDA also is a metric used by the Companys parent, Time Warner, to
evaluate the Companys performance and is an important measure in the Time Warner reportable
segment disclosures. A limitation of this measure, however, is that it does not reflect the
periodic costs of certain capitalized tangible and intangible assets used in generating revenues in
the Companys business. To compensate for this limitation, management evaluates the investments in
such tangible and intangible assets through other financial measures, such as capital expenditure
budget variances, investment spending levels and return on capital analyses. Another limitation of
this measure is that it does not reflect the significant costs borne by the Company for income
taxes, debt servicing costs, the share of OIBDA related to the minority ownership, the results of
the Companys equity investments or other non-operational income or expense. Management compensates
for this limitation through other financial measures such as a review of net income and earnings
per share.
Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company defines Free Cash Flow as cash
provided by operating activities (as defined under GAAP) plus excess tax benefits from the exercise
of stock options, less cash provided by (used by) discontinued operations, capital expenditures,
partnership distributions and principal payments on capital leases. Management uses Free Cash Flow
to evaluate the Companys business. It is also a significant component of the Companys annual
incentive compensation programs. The Company believes this measure is an important indicator of its
liquidity, including its ability to reduce net debt and make strategic investments, because it
reflects the Companys operating cash flow after considering the significant capital expenditures
required to operate its business. A limitation of this measure, however, is that it does not
reflect payments made in connection with investments and acquisitions, which reduce liquidity. To
compensate for this limitation, management evaluates such expenditures through other financial
measures such as return on investment analyses.
Both OIBDA and Free Cash Flow should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for,
the Companys Operating Income, net income and various cash flow measures (e.g., cash provided by
operating activities), as well as other measures of financial performance and liquidity reported in
accordance with GAAP, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other
companies. A reconciliation of OIBDA to Operating Income is presented under Results of
Operations. A reconciliation of Free Cash Flow to cash provided by operating activities is
presented under Financial Condition and Liquidity.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Basis of Presentation
Consolidation of Kansas City Pool
On January 1, 2007, the Company began consolidating the results of the Kansas City Pool it
received upon the distribution of the assets of TKCCP to TWC and Comcast. The results of operations
for the Kansas City Pool have been presented below separately from the results of the Legacy
Systems.
Discontinued Operations
The Company has reflected the operations of the Transferred Systems as discontinued operations
for all periods presented. See Note 3 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for
additional information regarding the discontinued operations.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior years financial information to conform
to the September 30, 2007 presentation.
Recent Accounting Standards
Accounting for Sabbatical Leave and Other Similar Benefits
On January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF)
Issue No. 06-02, Accounting for Sabbatical Leave and Other Similar Benefits (EITF 06-02), related
to certain sabbatical leave and other employment arrangements that are similar to a sabbatical
leave. EITF 06-02 provides that an employees right to a compensated absence under a sabbatical
leave or similar benefit arrangement in which the employee is not required to perform any duties
during the absence is an accumulating benefit. Therefore, such arrangements should be accounted for
as a liability with the cost recognized over the service period during which the employee earns the
benefit. Adoption of this guidance resulted in a decrease in retained earnings of $62 million ($37
million, net of tax) on January 1, 2007. The resulting change in the accrual for the nine months
ended September 30, 2007 was not material.
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes
On January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes an interpretation of
FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income tax
positions. This interpretation requires the Company to recognize in the consolidated financial
statements those tax positions determined to be more likely than not of being sustained upon
examination, based on the technical merits of the positions. Upon adoption, the Company recognized
a $3 million reduction of previously recorded tax reserves, which was accounted for as an increase
to the retained earnings balance as of January 1, 2007.

Historically, managed subscribers included TWCs consolidated subscribers and
subscribers in the Kansas City Pool of TKCCP, which TWC received on January 1, 2007 in the
TKCCP asset distribution. Beginning January 1, 2007, subscribers in the Kansas City Pool are
included in both managed and consolidated subscriber results as a result of the consolidation
of the Kansas City Pool. |

Digital video subscriber numbers reflect billable subscribers who receive any level
of video service via digital technology. |
(d) |
|
High-speed data subscriber numbers reflect billable subscribers who receive the
Companys Road Runner high-speed data service or any of the other high-speed data services
offered by TWC. |
(e) |
|
Digital Phone subscriber numbers reflect billable subscribers who receive IP-based
telephony service. Digital Phone subscribers exclude subscribers acquired from Comcast in the
Exchange who receive traditional, circuit-switched telephone service (which totaled
approximately 43,000 and 122,000 subscribers as of September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively). |
Subscription revenues increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 as a
result of increases in video, high-speed data and voice revenues. The increase in video revenues
was primarily due to the impact of the Acquired Systems, the consolidation of the Kansas City Pool,
the continued penetration of digital video services and video price increases. Aggregate revenues
associated with the Companys digital video services, including digital tiers, digital pay
channels, pay-per-view, video-on-demand, subscription-video-on-demand and digital video recorders,
increased 27% to $587 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007 from $464 million for
the three months ended September 30, 2006, and increased 53% to $1.759 billion for the nine months
ended September 30, 2007 from $1.153 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2006.
High-speed data revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 increased
primarily due to the impact of the Acquired Systems, the consolidation of the Kansas City Pool and
growth in high-speed data subscribers. Commercial high-speed data revenues increased to
$111 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007 from $83 million for the three months
ended September 30, 2006, and increased to $318 million for the nine months ended September 30,
2007 from $227 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. Strong growth rates for
high-speed data service revenues are expected to continue during the fourth quarter of 2007.

The increase in voice revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 was
primarily due to growth in Digital Phone subscribers and the consolidation of the Kansas City Pool.
Voice revenues for the Acquired Systems also included revenues associated with subscribers acquired
from Comcast who received traditional, circuit-switched telephone service of $8 million and $33
million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, respectively, and $12 million for
both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006. Strong growth rates for voice revenues are
expected to continue during the fourth quarter of 2007.
Average monthly subscription revenue (which includes video, high-speed data and voice
revenues) per basic video subscriber (subscription ARPU) increased 6% to approximately $95 for
the three months ended September 30, 2007 from approximately $90 for the three months ended
September 30, 2006, and increased 3% to approximately $93 for the nine months ended September 30,
2007 from approximately $90 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. These increases were
primarily a result of the increased penetration of advanced services (including digital video,
high-speed data and Digital Phone) in the Legacy Systems and higher video prices, as discussed
above, partially offset by lower penetration of advanced services in both the Acquired Systems and
the Kansas City Pool as compared to the Legacy Systems.
For the three months ended September 30, 2007, Advertising revenues increased due to a $36
million increase in local advertising and a $7 million increase in national advertising. For the
nine months ended September 30, 2007, Advertising revenues increased due to a $187 million increase
in local advertising and a $29 million increase in national advertising. These increases were
primarily due to the impact of the Acquired Systems and, to a lesser extent, growth in the Legacy
Systems and the consolidation of the Kansas City Pool.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, costs of revenues increased 26% and
53%, respectively, and, as a percentage of revenues, were 47% and 48% for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2007, respectively, compared to 47% and 46% for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2006, respectively. The increases in costs of revenues were primarily related to the
impact of the Acquired Systems and the consolidation of the Kansas City Pool, as well as increases
in video programming, employee, voice and other costs. The increase in costs of revenues as a
percentage of revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 reflects lower margins in the
Acquired Systems.

2006 amounts reflect video programming costs for the Acquired Systems for the two
months following the closing of the Transactions. |
The increase in video programming costs was due primarily to the impact of the Acquired
Systems and the consolidation of the Kansas City Pool, as well as contractual rate increases and
the expansion of service offerings. Average per subscriber programming costs increased 6% to $22.03
per month for the three months ended September 30, 2007 from $20.77 per month for the three months
ended September 30, 2006. Average per subscriber programming costs increased 8% to $21.94 per month
for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 from $20.30 per month for the nine months ended
September 30, 2006.
Employee costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 increased primarily due
to the impact of the Acquired Systems, the consolidation of the Kansas City Pool, higher headcount
resulting from the continued roll-out of advanced services and salary increases. Additionally,
employee costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 included a benefit of approximately
$16 million (with an additional benefit of approximately $5 million included in selling, general
and administrative expenses) due to changes in estimates related to prior period medical benefit
accruals.
High-speed data service costs consist of the direct costs associated with the delivery of
high-speed data services, including network connectivity costs, and certain other costs. High-speed
data service costs decreased for the three months ended September 30, 2007 due to a decrease in per
subscriber connectivity costs, offset partially by the impact of the Acquired Systems, the
consolidation of the Kansas City Pool and subscriber growth. High-speed data service costs
increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 due to the impact of the Acquired Systems,
the consolidation of the Kansas City Pool and subscriber growth, offset partially by a decrease in
per subscriber connectivity costs.
Voice costs consist of the direct costs associated with the delivery of voice services,
including network connectivity costs. Voice costs increased for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2007 primarily due to growth in Digital Phone subscribers and the consolidation of
the Kansas City Pool, offset partially by a decline in per subscriber connectivity costs.
Other costs increased primarily due to the impact of the Acquired Systems and the
consolidation of the Kansas City Pool, as well as certain other increases in costs associated with
the continued roll-out of advanced services. In addition, other costs for the nine months ended
September 30, 2006 included a benefit of $10 million related to third-party maintenance support
payment fees, reflecting the resolution of terms with an equipment vendor.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, selling, general and administrative
expenses increased as a result of higher employee, marketing and other costs. For the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2007, employee costs increased primarily due to the impact of the
Acquired Systems, the consolidation of the Kansas City Pool, increased headcount resulting from the
continued roll-out of advanced services and salary increases. Marketing costs for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2007 increased as a result of the Acquired Systems and higher
marketing costs associated with the continued roll-out of advanced services. Other costs for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 increased primarily due to the impact of the
Acquired Systems, the consolidation of the Kansas City Pool and increases in administrative costs
associated with the increase in headcount discussed above. Other costs for the nine months ended
September 30, 2006 also included an $11 million charge (with an additional $2 million charge
included in costs of revenues) reflecting an adjustment to prior period facility rent expense.
Merger-related and restructuring costs. The Company expensed non-capitalizable merger-related
costs associated with the Transactions of $3 million and $10 million for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2007, respectively, and $18 million and $29 million for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2006, respectively. In addition, the results included restructuring
costs of $1 million and $10 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007,
respectively, and $4 million and $14 million for the three and nine months ended September 30,
2006, respectively.

OIBDA. OIBDA increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 principally due
to revenue growth, partially offset by higher costs of revenues and selling, general and
administrative expenses, as discussed above.
Depreciation expense. Depreciation expense increased for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2007 primarily due to the impact of the Acquired Systems, the consolidation of the
Kansas City Pool and demand-driven increases in recent years of purchases of customer premise
equipment.
Amortization expense. Amortization expense increased for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2007 primarily as a result of the amortization of intangible assets related to
customer relationships associated with the Acquired Systems. This was partially offset by a
decrease due to the absence during the second and third quarters of 2007 of amortization expense
associated with customer relationships recorded in connection with the restructuring of TWE in 2003
that were fully amortized at the end of the first quarter of 2007.
Operating Income. Operating Income increased for the three and nine months ended September
30, 2007 primarily due to the increase in OIBDA, partially offset by increases in both depreciation
and amortization expense, as discussed above.
The Company anticipates that OIBDA and Operating Income will continue to increase during the
fourth quarter of 2007 as compared to the fourth quarter of 2006, although the full year rate of
growth is expected to be lower than that experienced during the nine months ended September 30,
2007 because the last five months of 2006 included contributions from the Acquired Systems.
14
TIME WARNER CABLE INC.
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION(Continued)
Interest expense, net. Interest expense, net, increased for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2007 primarily due to an increase in long-term debt and mandatorily redeemable
preferred membership units issued by a subsidiary in connection with the Transactions, partially
offset by a decrease in mandatorily redeemable preferred equity issued by a subsidiary as a result
of the ATC Contribution.
(Income) loss from equity investments, net. The change in (income) loss from equity
investments, net, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 was primarily due to the
Company no longer treating TKCCP as an equity method investment. Refer to OverviewRecent
DevelopmentsTKCCP Joint Venture for additional information.
Minority interest expense, net. Minority interest expense, net, increased for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2007, primarily reflecting the change in the ownership structure of
the Company and TWE as a result of the ATC Contribution and the Redemptions.
Other income, net. During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Company recorded a
pretax gain of approximately $146 million as a result of the distribution of TKCCPs assets, which
was treated as a sale of the Companys 50% equity interest in the Houston Pool. Refer to
OverviewRecent DevelopmentsTKCCP Joint Venture for additional information.
Income tax provision. TWCs income tax provision has been prepared as if the Company
operated as a stand-alone taxpayer for all periods presented. For the three months ended September
30, 2007 and 2006, the Company recorded income tax provisions of $166 million and $145 million,
respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, the Company recorded income
tax provisions of $525 million and $452 million, respectively. The effective tax rate was
approximately 40% for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 and approximately 39%
and 40% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively.
Income before discontinued operations and cumulative effect of accounting change. Income
before discontinued operations and cumulative effect of accounting change was $248 million and $796
million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, respectively, compared to $226
million and $690 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively.
Basic and diluted income per common share before discontinued operations and cumulative effect of
accounting change were $0.25 and $0.81 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007,
respectively, compared to $0.23 and $0.69 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006,
respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2007, the increases were primarily due to an
increase in Operating Income, partially offset by increases in interest expense, net and income tax
provision and a decrease in income from equity investments, net. For the nine months ended
September 30, 2007, the increases were due to an increase in Operating Income and other income,
net, partially offset by increases in interest expense, net, income tax provision and minority
interest expense, net, and a decrease in income from equity investments, net.
Discontinued operations, net of tax. Discontinued operations, net of tax, reflect the impact
of treating the Transferred Systems as discontinued operations. For the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2006, the Company recognized pretax income applicable to these systems of
$158 million ($954 million, net of a tax benefit) and $265 million ($1.018 billion, net of a tax
benefit), respectively. Included in the results for the three and nine months ended September 30,
2006 were a pretax gain of approximately $145 million on the Transferred Systems and a tax benefit
of approximately $804 million, comprised of a tax benefit of $817 million on the Redemptions,
partially offset by a provision of $13 million on the Exchange. The tax benefit of $817 million
resulted primarily from the reversal of historical deferred tax liabilities that had existed on
systems transferred to Comcast in the TWC Redemption. The TWC Redemption was designed to qualify as
a tax-free split-off under section 355 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and, as a
result, such liabilities were no longer required. However, if the Internal Revenue Service were
successful in challenging the tax-free characterization of the TWC Redemption, an additional cash
liability on account of taxes of up to an estimated $900 million could become payable by the
Company.

OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION(Continued)
Cumulative effect of accounting change, net of tax. For the nine months ended September 30,
2006, the Company recorded a benefit of $2 million, net of tax, as the cumulative effect of a
change in accounting principle upon the adoption of FAS 123R to recognize the effect of estimating
the number of Time Warner equity-based awards granted to TWC employees prior to January 1, 2006
that are not ultimately expected to vest.
Net income and net income per common share. Net income was $248 million for the three months
ended September 30, 2007 compared to $1.180 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2006.
Basic and diluted net income per common share were $0.25 for the three months ended September 30,
2007 compared to $1.20 for the three months ended September 30, 2006. Net income was $796 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to $1.710 billion for the nine months ended
September 30, 2006. Basic and diluted net income per common share were $0.81 for the nine months
ended September 30, 2007 compared to $1.72 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006.
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY
Current Financial Condition
Management believes that cash generated by or available to TWC should be sufficient to fund
its capital and liquidity needs for the foreseeable future. TWCs sources of cash include cash
provided by operating activities, cash and equivalents on hand, available borrowing capacity under
its committed credit facilities and commercial paper program and access to the capital markets.
TWCs unused committed available funds were $3.557 billion as of September 30, 2007, including $511
million in cash and equivalents and $3.046 billion of available borrowing capacity under the
Companys $6.0 billion senior unsecured five-year revolving credit facility.
As of September 30, 2007, the Company had $14.179 billion of debt, $511 million of cash and
equivalents (net debt of $13.668 billion, defined as total debt less cash and equivalents), $300
million of mandatorily redeemable non-voting Series A Preferred Membership Units issued by TW NY in
connection with the Adelphia Acquisition (the TW NY Series A Preferred Membership Units) and
$24.400 billion of shareholders equity. As of December 31, 2006, the Company had $14.432 billion
of debt, $51 million of cash and equivalents (net debt of $14.381 billion), $300 million of TW NY
Series A Preferred Membership Units and $23.564 billion of shareholders equity.

Cash provided by operating activities increased from $2.561 billion for the nine months ended
September 30, 2006 to $3.253 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. This increase
was primarily related to an increase in OIBDA (due to revenue growth, partially offset by increases
in costs of revenues and selling, general and administrative expenses, as described above) and a
decrease in net income taxes paid (primarily as a result of the timing of tax-related payments to
Time Warner under the Companys tax sharing arrangement, as well as tax benefits related to the
Transactions), which were partially offset by an increase in working capital requirements, an
increase in net interest payments reflecting the increase in debt levels attributable to the
Transactions and a decrease in cash relating to discontinued operations. The increase in working
capital requirements was primarily due to the timing of payments and collections of accounts
receivable.

months ended September 30, 2006 is cash paid at closing of $8.935 billion, a contractual
closing adjustment of $67 million and other transaction-related costs of $63 million. Cash
used for the Adelphia Acquisition and the Exchange for the nine months ended September 30,
2007 primarily represents additional transaction-related costs. |
(b) |
|
Cash used for the Wireless Joint Venture for the nine months ended September 30,
2006 represents a deposit that the Company paid in July 2006 related to its investment in the
Wireless Joint Venture. Included in the cash used for the Wireless Joint Venture for the nine
months ended September 30, 2007 is a contribution of $28 million to the Wireless Joint Venture
to fund the Companys share of a payment to Sprint to purchase Sprints interest in the
Wireless Joint Venture for an amount equal to Sprints capital contributions. Under certain
circumstances, the remaining members have the ability to exit the Wireless Joint Venture and
receive from the Wireless Joint Venture, subject to certain limitations and adjustments,
advanced wireless spectrum licenses covering their operating areas. |
Cash used by investing activities decreased from $11.211 billion for the nine months ended
September 30, 2006 to $2.448 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. This decrease
was principally due to payments associated with the Transactions, which closed on July 31, 2006, a
decrease in investment spending related to the Companys investment in the Wireless Joint Venture
and an increase in net cash received from investments, which included distributions received from
Sterling Entertainment Enterprises, LLC (dba SportsNet New York), an equity method investee, as
well as a decrease in capital expenditures from discontinued operations. This decrease was
partially offset by an increase in capital expenditures from continuing operations, driven by the
Acquired Systems, as well as the continued roll-out of advanced digital services in the Legacy
Systems.

certain video, high-speed data and Digital Phone service features (voicemail, e-mail, etc.). |
(c) |
|
Represents costs incurred to extend TWCs distribution network into a geographic
area previously not served. These costs typically include network design, the purchase and
installation of fiber optic and coaxial cable and certain electronic equipment. |
(d) |
|
Represents costs incurred to upgrade or replace certain existing components or an
entire geographic area of TWCs distribution network. These costs typically include network
design, the purchase and installation of fiber optic and coaxial cable and certain electronic
equipment. |
(e) |
|
Represents all other capital purchases required to run day-to-day operations. These
costs typically include vehicles, land and buildings, computer hardware/software, office
equipment, furniture and fixtures, tools and test equipment. |
TWC incurs expenditures associated with the construction of its cable systems. Costs
associated with the construction of the cable transmission and distribution facilities and new
cable service installations are capitalized. TWC generally capitalizes expenditures for tangible
fixed assets having a useful life of greater than one year. Capitalized costs include direct
material, labor and overhead and interest. Sales and marketing costs, as well as the costs of
repairing or maintaining existing fixed assets, are expensed as incurred. With respect to certain
customer premise equipment, which includes set-top boxes and high-speed data and telephone cable
modems, TWC capitalizes installation charges only upon the initial deployment of these 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
lives. For set-top boxes and modems, the useful life is 3 to 5 years, and, for distribution plant,
the useful life is up to 16 years.
In connection with the Transactions, TW NY acquired significant amounts of property, plant and
equipment, which were recorded at their estimated fair values. The remaining useful lives assigned
to such assets were generally shorter than the useful lives assigned to comparable new assets, to
reflect the age, condition and intended use of the acquired property, plant and equipment.
As a result of the Transactions, the Company has made significant capital expenditures and
anticipates making additional capital expenditures related to the continued integration of the
Acquired Systems, including improvements to plant and technical performance and upgrading system
capacity to allow the Company to offer its advanced services and features in the Acquired Systems.
Through December 31, 2006, TWC incurred approximately $200 million of such expenditures, and the
Company estimates that it will incur additional expenditures of approximately $200 million during
2007 (including approximately $140 million incurred during the nine months ended September 30,
2007). TWC expects that these upgrades will be substantially complete by the end of 2007. TWC does
not believe that these expenditures will have a material negative impact on its liquidity or
capital resources.

Debt Securities
On April 9, 2007, the Company issued $1.5 billion principal amount of 5.40% Notes due 2012
(the 2012 Initial Notes), $2.0 billion principal amount of 5.85% Notes due 2017 (the 2017
Initial Notes) and $1.5 billion principal amount of 6.55% Debentures due 2037 (the 2037 Initial
Debentures and, together with the 2012 Initial Notes and the 2017 Initial Notes, the Initial Debt
Securities) pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act. The Initial Debt
Securities are guaranteed by TWE and TW NY Holding (the Guarantors).
21
TIME WARNER CABLE INC.
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION(Continued)
In connection with the issuance of the Initial Debt Securities, on April 9, 2007, the Company,
the Guarantors and the initial purchasers of the Initial Debt Securities entered into a
Registration Rights Agreement (the Registration Rights Agreement) pursuant to which the Company
agreed, among other things, to use its commercially reasonable efforts to consummate a registered
exchange offer for the Initial Debt Securities within 270 days after the issuance date of the
Initial Debt Securities or cause a shelf registration statement covering the resale of the Initial
Debt Securities to be declared effective within specified periods. On
November 5, 2007, pursuant to a registered exchange offer, the
Company and the Guarantors exchanged (i)
substantially all of the 2012 Initial Notes for a like aggregate principal amount of registered debt securities
without transfer restrictions or registration rights (the 2012 Registered Notes, and, together
with the 2012 Initial Notes, the 2012 Notes), (ii) all of the 2017 Initial Notes
for a like aggregate principal amount of registered debt securities without transfer restrictions
or registration rights (the 2017 Registered Notes, and, together with the 2017 Initial Notes, the
2017 Notes), and (iii) substantially all of the 2037 Initial Debentures for a like aggregate
principal amount of registered debt securities without transfer restrictions or registration rights
(the 2037 Registered Debentures, and, together with the 2037 Initial Debentures, the 2037
Debentures). Collectively, the 2012 Notes, the 2017 Notes and the 2037 Debentures are referred to
as the Debt Securities.
The Debt Securities were issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of April 9, 2007 (the Base
Indenture), by and among the Company, the Guarantors and The Bank of New York, as trustee, as
supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of April 9, 2007 (the First
Supplemental Indenture and, together with the Base Indenture, the Indenture), by and among the
Company, the Guarantors and The Bank of New York, as trustee.
The 2012 Notes mature on July 2, 2012, the 2017 Notes mature on May 1, 2017 and the 2037
Debentures mature on May 1, 2037. Interest on the 2012 Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on
January 2 and July 2 of each year, beginning on July 2, 2007. Interest on the 2017 Notes and the
2037 Debentures is payable semi-annually in arrears on May 1 and November 1 of each year, beginning
on November 1, 2007. The Debt Securities are unsecured senior obligations of the Company and rank
equally with its other unsecured and unsubordinated obligations. The guarantees of the Debt
Securities are unsecured senior obligations of the Guarantors and rank equally in right of payment
with all other unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the Guarantors.
The Debt Securities may be redeemed in whole or in part at any time at the Companys option at
a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Debt Securities
being redeemed and (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments on the
Debt Securities discounted to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis at a government treasury
rate plus 20 basis points for the 2012 Notes, 30 basis points for the 2017 Notes and 35 basis
points for the 2037 Debentures as further described in the Indenture, plus, in each case, accrued
but unpaid interest to the redemption date.
The Indenture contains customary covenants relating to restrictions on the ability of the
Company or any material subsidiary to create liens and on the ability of the Company and the
Guarantors to consolidate, merge or convey or transfer substantially all of their assets. The
Indenture also contains customary events of default.
Bank Credit Agreements and Commercial Paper Program
In the first quarter of 2006, the Company entered into $14.0 billion of bank credit
agreements, consisting of an amended and restated $6.0 billion senior unsecured five-year revolving
credit facility maturing February 15, 2011 (the Cable Revolving Facility), a $4.0 billion
five-year term loan facility maturing February 21, 2011 (the Five-Year Term Facility) and a $4.0
billion three-year term loan facility maturing February 24, 2009 (the Three-Year Term Facility
and, together with the Five-Year Term Facility, the Term Facilities). The Term Facilities,
together with the Cable Revolving Facility, are referred to as the Cable Facilities.
Collectively, the Cable Facilities refinanced $4.0 billion of previously existing committed bank
financing, and $2.0 billion of the Cable Revolving Facility and $8.0 billion of the Term Facilities
were used to finance, in part, the cash portions of the Transactions. The Cable Facilities are
guaranteed by TWE and TW NY Holding (or, in the case of the Three-Year Term Facility, was
guaranteed by TWE and TW NY Holding, as discussed below).
22
TIME WARNER CABLE INC.
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION(Continued)
In April 2007, TWC used the net proceeds of the 2007 Bond Offering to repay all of the
outstanding indebtedness under the Three-Year Term Facility, which was terminated on April 13,
2007. The balance of the net proceeds was used to repay a portion of the outstanding indebtedness
under the Five-Year Term Facility on April 27, 2007, which reduced the outstanding indebtedness
under such facility to $3.045 billion as of such date.
Borrowings under the Cable Revolving Facility bear interest at a rate based on the credit
rating of TWC, which rate was LIBOR plus 0.27% per annum at September 30, 2007. In addition, TWC is
required to pay a facility fee on the aggregate commitments under the Cable Revolving Facility at a
rate determined by the credit rating of TWC, which rate was 0.08% per annum at September 30, 2007.
TWC may also incur an additional usage fee of 0.10% per annum on the outstanding loans and other
extensions of credit under the Cable Revolving Facility if and when such amounts exceed 50% of the
aggregate commitments thereunder. Borrowings under the Five-Year Term Facility accrue interest at a
rate based on the credit rating of TWC, which rate was LIBOR plus 0.40% per annum at September 30,
2007.
The Cable Revolving Facility provides same-day funding capability and a portion of the
commitment, not to exceed $500 million at any time, may be used for the issuance of letters of
credit. The Cable Revolving Facility and the Five-Year Term Facility contain a maximum leverage
ratio covenant of 5.0 times the consolidated EBITDA of TWC. The terms and related financial metrics
associated with the leverage ratio are defined in the applicable agreements. At September 30, 2007,
TWC was in compliance with the leverage covenant, with a leverage ratio, calculated in accordance
with the agreements, of approximately 2.5 times. The Cable Revolving Facility and the Five-Year
Term Facility do not contain any credit ratings-based defaults or covenants or any ongoing covenant
or representations specifically relating to a material adverse change in the financial condition or
results of operations of Time Warner or TWC. Borrowings under the Cable Revolving Facility may be
used for general corporate purposes and unused credit is available to support borrowings under
TWCs commercial paper program.
In addition to the Cable Revolving Facility and the Five-Year Term Facility, TWC maintains a
$6.0 billion unsecured commercial paper program (the CP Program) that is also guaranteed by TW NY
Holding and TWE. Commercial paper issued under the CP Program is supported by unused committed
capacity under the Cable Revolving Facility and ranks pari passu with other unsecured senior
indebtedness of TWC, TWE and TW NY Holding. As a result of recent market volatility in the U.S.
debt markets, including the dislocation of the overall commercial paper market, TWC has decreased
the amount of commercial paper outstanding under the CP Program, and has offset this decrease by
increasing borrowings outstanding under the Cable Revolving Facility.
As of September 30, 2007, there were borrowings of $3.045 billion outstanding under the
Five-Year Term Facility, borrowings of $1.800 billion and letters of credit totaling $135 million
outstanding under the Cable Revolving Facility, and $1.018 billion of commercial paper outstanding
under the CP Program. TWCs available committed capacity under the Cable Revolving Facility as of
September 30, 2007 was approximately $3.046 billion, and TWC had $511 million of cash and
equivalents on hand.

Time Warner Approval Rights
Under a shareholder agreement entered into between TWC and Time Warner on April 20, 2005 (the
Shareholder Agreement), TWC is required to obtain Time Warners approval prior to incurring
additional debt (except for ordinary course issuances of commercial paper or borrowings under the
Cable Revolving Facility up to the limit of that credit facility, to which Time Warner has
consented) or rental expenses (other than with respect to certain approved leases) or issuing
preferred equity, if its consolidated ratio of debt, including preferred equity, plus six times its
annual rental expense to EBITDAR (the TW Leverage Ratio) then exceeds, or would as a result of
the incurrence or issuance exceed, 3:1. Under certain circumstances, TWC is required to include the
indebtedness, annual rental expense obligations and EBITDAR of certain unconsolidated entities that
it manages and/or in which it owns an equity interest, in the calculation of the TW Leverage Ratio.
The Shareholder Agreement defines EBITDAR, at any time of measurement, as operating income plus
depreciation, amortization and rental expense (for any lease that is not accounted for as a capital
lease) for the twelve months ending on the last day of TWCs most recent fiscal quarter, including
certain adjustments to reflect the impact of significant transactions as if they had occurred at
the beginning of the period.

CAUTION CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This document contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, particularly statements anticipating future growth in
revenues, OIBDA, cash provided by operating activities and other financial measures. Words such as
anticipates, estimates, expects, projects, intends, plans, believes and words and
terms of similar substance used in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial
performance identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on
managements current expectations and beliefs about future events. As with any projection or
forecast, they are inherently susceptible to uncertainty and changes in circumstances, and the
Company is under no obligation to, and expressly disclaims any obligation to, update or alter its
forward-looking statements whether as a result of such changes, new information, subsequent events
or otherwise.
Various factors could adversely affect the operations, business or financial results of TWC in
the future and cause TWCs actual results to differ materially from those contained in the
forward-looking statements, including those factors discussed in detail in Item 1A, Risk Factors,
in the 2006 Form 10-K, and in TWCs other filings made from time to time with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the SEC) after the date of this report. In addition, the Company operates
in a highly competitive, consumer and technology-driven and rapidly changing business. The
Companys business is affected by government regulation, economic, strategic, political and social
conditions, consumer response to new and existing products and services, technological developments
and, particularly in view of new technologies, the continued ability to protect and secure any
necessary intellectual property rights. TWCs actual results could differ materially from
managements expectations because of changes in such factors.

Further, lower than expected valuations associated with the Companys cash flows and revenues
may result in the Companys inability to realize the value of recorded intangibles and goodwill.
Additionally, achieving the Companys financial objectives could be adversely affected by the
factors discussed in detail in Item 1A, Risk Factors, in the 2006 Form 10-K, as well as:
|
|
|
economic slowdowns; |
|
|
|
|
the impact of terrorist acts and hostilities; |
|
|
|
|
changes in the Companys plans, strategies and intentions; |
|
|
|
|
the impacts of significant acquisitions, dispositions and other similar transactions; |
|
|
|
|
the failure to meet earnings expectations; and |
|
|
|
|
decreased liquidity in the capital markets, including any reduction in the ability to access the
capital markets for debt securities or bank financings. |

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company, under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including the
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and
operation of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule
13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that
evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that the
Companys disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to
be disclosed in reports filed or submitted by the Company under the Exchange Act is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms
and that information required to be disclosed by the Company is accumulated and communicated to the
Companys management to allow timely decisions regarding the required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have not been any changes in the Companys internal control over financial reporting
during the quarter ended September 30, 2007 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely
to materially affect, its internal control over financial reporting.

2004, these shares were classified as mandatorily redeemable as a result of an agreement with
Comcast that under certain circumstances would have required TWC to redeem such shares.
During 2006, this requirement terminated upon the closing of the redemption of Comcasts
interests in TWC and TWE, and, as a result, these shares were reclassified to shareholders
equity (Class A common stock and paid-in-capital) before ultimately being redeemed on July 31,
2006. |

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS, RECENT DEVELOPMENTS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Description of Business
Time Warner Cable Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, TWC or the Company) is the
second-largest cable operator in the U.S. and is an industry leader in developing and launching
innovative video, data and voice services. As of September 30, 2007, TWC had approximately 13.3
million basic video subscribers in technologically advanced, well-clustered systems located mainly
in five geographic areas New York state, the Carolinas, Ohio, southern California and Texas. As
of September 30, 2007, TWC was the largest cable operator in a number of large cities, including
New York City and Los Angeles.
On July 31, 2006, a subsidiary of TWC, Time Warner NY Cable LLC (TW NY), and Comcast
Corporation (together with its subsidiaries, Comcast) completed the acquisition of substantially
all of the cable assets of Adelphia Communications Corporation (Adelphia) and related
transactions. In addition, effective January 1, 2007, TWC began consolidating the results of
certain cable systems located in Kansas City, south and west Texas and New Mexico (the Kansas City
Pool) upon the distribution of the assets of Texas and Kansas City Cable Partners, L.P. (TKCCP)
to TWC and Comcast. Prior to January 1, 2007, TWCs interest in TKCCP was reported as an equity
method investment. Refer to Note 3 for further details.
Time Warner Inc. (Time Warner) currently owns approximately 84.0% of the common stock of TWC
(representing a 90.6% voting interest). The financial results of TWCs operations are consolidated
by Time Warner.
TWC principally offers three services video, high-speed data and voice, which have been
primarily targeted to residential customers. Video is TWCs largest service in terms of revenues
generated, and providing video services is a competitive and highly penetrated business. TWC
continues to increase video revenues through the offering of advanced digital video services, as
well as through price increases and digital video subscriber growth. TWCs digital video
subscribers provide a broad base of potential customers for additional advanced services.
High-speed data has been one of TWCs fastest-growing services over the past several years and
is a key driver of its results. As of September 30, 2007, TWC had approximately 7.4 million
residential high-speed data subscribers. TWC also offers commercial high-speed data services and
had approximately 272,000 commercial high-speed data subscribers as of September 30, 2007.
Approximately 2.6 million subscribers received Digital Phone service, TWCs voice service, as
of September 30, 2007. Under TWCs primary calling plan, for a monthly fixed fee, Digital Phone
customers typically receive the following services: an unlimited local, in-state and U.S., Canada
and Puerto Rico calling plan, as well as call waiting, caller ID and E911 services. TWC also
offers additional calling plans with a variety of calling options that are designed to meet
customers particular usage patterns. TWC is currently introducing an international calling plan
and it intends to offer additional plans in the future. Digital Phone enables TWC to offer its
customers a convenient package, or bundle, of video, high-speed data and voice services, and to
compete effectively against bundled services available from its competitors. TWC has begun to
introduce Business Class Phone, a commercial Digital Phone service, to small- and medium-sized
businesses.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
(Unaudited)
In November 2005, TWC and several other cable companies, together with Sprint Nextel
Corporation (Sprint), announced the formation of a joint venture to develop integrated wireline
and wireless video, data and voice services. Since 2006, TWC has offered a bundle that includes
Sprint wireless service (with some unique TWC features) in some of its operating areas.
Additionally, TWC is a participant in a wireless spectrum joint venture with several other cable
companies (the Wireless Joint Venture), which, on November 29, 2006, was awarded certain advanced
wireless spectrum licenses in an FCC auction.
Some of TWCs principal competitors, direct broadcast satellite operators and incumbent local
telephone companies in particular, either offer or are making significant capital investments that
will allow them to offer services that provide features and functions comparable to the video, data
and/or voice services that TWC offers, and they also offer them in bundles similar to TWCs. The
availability of these bundled service offerings has intensified competition.
In addition to the subscription services described above, TWC also earns revenues by selling
advertising time to national, regional and local businesses.
As of July 31, 2006, the date the transactions with Adelphia and Comcast closed, the
penetration rates for basic video, digital video and high-speed data services were generally lower
in the Acquired Systems than in the Legacy Systems. Furthermore, certain advanced services were
not available in some of the Acquired Systems, and an IP-based telephony service was not available
in any of the Acquired Systems. To increase the penetration of these services in the Acquired
Systems, TWC has undertaken a significant integration effort that includes upgrading the capacity
and technical performance of these systems to levels that will allow the delivery of these advanced
services and features. Such integration-related efforts are expected to be substantially complete
by the end of 2007. As of September 30, 2007, Digital Phone was available to nearly 80% of the
homes passed in the Acquired Systems.
Recent Developments
Time Warners Interest in TW NY Cable Holding Inc.
In September 2007, Time Warner proposed to TWC that it enter into discussions regarding a
transaction pursuant to which the Companys subsidiary, TW NY Cable Holding Inc. (TW NY Holding),
would redeem a significant portion of Time Warners 12.43% non-voting, equity interest in it. On
September 13, 2007, the Companys Board of Directors appointed a special committee of independent
directors and authorized it to consider any proposal Time Warner may make in this regard and
negotiate with Time Warner regarding the terms of such a transaction. No assurance can be given
that any proposal made by Time Warner will result in an agreement for TW NY Holding to redeem a
portion of Time Warners interest in it or, if an agreement is reached, that a redemption
transaction will be consummated. In April 2005, in connection with the announcement of the
Transactions (as defined below), the Company valued this interest (as if the Transactions had
occurred at that time) at approximately $2.9 billion. This valuation is not necessarily indicative
of the fair value of the interest as of the date of this report. If a redemption transaction takes
place, the Company would expect to finance the transaction through available borrowing capacity
under its existing committed revolving credit facility or by accessing the bank credit or debt
capital markets. If a redemption transaction is completed, it will not change the 84% ownership
interest Time Warner has in the Companys common stock.

Basis of Presentation
Changes in Basis of Presentation
Consolidation of Kansas City Pool. As discussed more fully in Note 3, on January 1, 2007, the
Company began consolidating the results of the Kansas City Pool it received upon the distribution
of the assets of TKCCP to TWC and Comcast.
Discontinued Operations. As discussed more fully in Note 3, the Company has reflected the
operations of the Transferred Systems (as defined in Note 3 below) as discontinued operations for
all periods presented.
Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include 100% of the assets, liabilities, revenues,
expenses and cash flows of TWC and all companies in which TWC has a controlling voting interest, as
well as allocations of certain Time Warner corporate costs deemed reasonable by management to
present the Companys consolidated results of operations, financial position, changes in equity and
cash flows on a stand-alone basis. The consolidated financial statements include the results of
Time Warner Entertainment-Advance/Newhouse Partnership (TWE-A/N) only for the systems that are
controlled by TWC and for which TWC holds an economic interest. The Time Warner corporate costs
include specified administrative services, including selected tax, human resources, legal,
information technology, treasury, financial, public policy and corporate and investor relations
services, and approximate Time Warners estimated cost for services rendered. Intercompany
accounts and transactions between consolidated companies have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions 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 consolidated financial statements
include accounting for asset impairments, allowances for doubtful accounts, investments,
depreciation, amortization, business combinations, pension benefits, equity-based compensation,
income taxes, contingencies and certain programming arrangements. Allocation methodologies used to
prepare the consolidated financial statements are based on estimates and have been described in the
notes, where appropriate.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior years financial information to conform
to the September 30, 2007 presentation.
Interim Financial Statements
The consolidated financial statements are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management,
they contain all the adjustments (consisting of those of a normal recurring nature) considered
necessary to present fairly the financial position, the results of operations and cash flows for
the periods presented in conformity with GAAP applicable to interim periods. The consolidated
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial
statements of TWC included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 2006.

Income per Common Share
Basic income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average of
common shares outstanding during the period. Weighted-average common shares include shares of
Class A common stock and Class B common stock. Diluted income per common share adjusts basic
income per common share for the effects of stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units
and other potentially dilutive financial instruments, only in the periods in which such effect is
dilutive. Refer to Note 6 for further details. Set forth below is a reconciliation of basic and

Equity-based Compensation
The Company follows the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards (Statement) No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (FAS
123R), which require that a company measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for
an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. That cost is
recognized in the statement of operations over the period during which an employee is required to
provide service in exchange for the award. FAS 123R also requires that excess tax benefits, as
defined, realized from the exercise of stock options be reported as a financing cash inflow rather
than as a reduction of taxes paid in cash flow from operations.
Historically, TWC employees were granted equity awards under Time Warners equity plans.
Since April 2007, grants of equity awards to TWC employees have been and will continue to be made
under TWCs equity plans.
With respect to Time Warner equity grants to TWC employees, the grant-date fair value of a
stock option award is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, consistent with the
provisions of FAS 123R and the Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No.
107, Share-Based Payment. Because option-pricing models require the use of subjective assumptions,
changes in these assumptions can materially affect the fair value of the options with respect to
Time Warner stock options issued to TWC employees. The Company determines the volatility assumption
for these stock options using implied volatilities from Time Warners traded options as well as
quotes from third-party investment banks. The expected term, which represents the period of time
that options granted are expected to be outstanding, is estimated based on the historical exercise
experience of all Time Warner employees with respect to their ownership of Time Warner stock
options. Separate groups of employees that have similar historical exercise behavior are considered
separately for valuation purposes. The risk-free rate assumed in valuing the options is based on
the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for the expected term of
34
TIME WARNER CABLE INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
(Unaudited)
the option. The Company determines the expected dividend yield percentage by dividing the
expected annual dividend by the market price of Time Warner common stock at the date of grant.
Prior to the adoption of FAS 123R on January 1, 2006, the Company recognized equity-based
compensation expense for awards with graded vesting by treating each vesting tranche as a separate
award and recognizing compensation expense ratably for each tranche. For equity awards granted
subsequent to the adoption of FAS 123R, the Company treats such awards as a single award and
recognizes equity-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis (net of estimated
forfeitures) over the employee service period. Equity-based compensation expense is recorded in
costs of revenues or selling, general and administrative expense depending on the employees job
function.
When recording compensation cost for equity awards, FAS 123R requires companies to estimate
the number of equity awards granted that are expected to be forfeited. Prior to the adoption of FAS
123R, the Company recognized forfeitures when they occurred, rather than using an estimate at the
grant date and subsequently adjusting the estimated forfeitures to reflect actual forfeitures. The
Company recorded a benefit of $2 million, net of tax, as the cumulative effect of a change in
accounting principle upon the adoption of FAS 123R in the first quarter of 2006, to recognize the
effect of estimating the number of awards granted prior to January 1, 2006 that are not ultimately
expected to vest.
In April 2007, the Company started granting stock options and restricted stock units based on
its Class A common stock. The valuation of, as well as the expense recognition for, such awards is
generally consistent with the treatment of Time Warner awards that have been granted to TWC
employees as described above. However, because the Class A common stock has a limited trading
history, the volatility assumption is determined by reference to a comparable peer group of
publicly traded companies. Furthermore, the volatility assumption is calculated using a 75%-25%
weighted average of implied volatilities from traded options and the historical stock price
volatility of the peer group. Refer to Note 6 for a discussion of the Companys stock option and
restricted stock unit awards granted through September 30, 2007.
Classification of Taxes Collected from Customers
In the normal course of business, TWC is assessed non-income related taxes by governmental
authorities, including franchising authorities, and collects such taxes from its customers. TWCs
policy is that, in instances where the tax is being assessed directly on the Company, amounts paid
to the governmental authorities and amounts received from the customers are recorded on a gross
basis. That is, amounts paid to the governmental authorities are recorded as costs of revenues and
amounts received from the customer are recorded as Subscription revenues. The amount of non-income
related taxes recorded on a gross basis was $371 million and $265 million during the nine months
ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
2. RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
Accounting for Sabbatical Leave and Other Similar Benefits
On January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF)
Issue No. 06-02, Accounting for Sabbatical Leave and Other Similar Benefits (EITF 06-02), related
to certain sabbatical leave and other employment arrangements that are similar to a sabbatical
leave. EITF 06-02 provides that an employees right to a compensated absence under a sabbatical
leave or similar benefit arrangement in which the employee is not required to perform any duties
during the absence is an accumulating benefit. Therefore, such arrangements should be accounted for
as a liability with the cost recognized over the service period during which the employee earns the
benefit. Adoption of this guidance
35
TIME WARNER CABLE INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
(Unaudited)
resulted in a decrease in retained earnings of $62 million ($37 million, net of tax) on
January 1, 2007. The resulting change in the accrual for the nine months ended September 30, 2007
was not material.
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes
The Company does not file as a separate taxpayer for U.S. federal and certain state income tax
purposes and its results are included on a consolidated, combined or unitary basis with Time Warner
in such cases. Under the Companys tax sharing agreement with Time Warner, the Company is
indemnified for U.S. federal and state income taxes with respect to periods ending on or prior to
March 31, 2003. For periods after such date, the Company is responsible for U.S. federal and state
income taxes as if it were a stand-alone taxpayer. The Company makes tax sharing payments to Time
Warner consistent with such responsibility in accordance with the tax sharing agreement.
On January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48,
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN
48), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income tax positions. This interpretation
requires the Company to recognize in the consolidated financial statements those tax positions
determined to be more likely than not of being sustained upon examination, based on the technical
merits of the positions. Upon adoption, the Company recognized a $3 million reduction of previously
recorded tax reserves, which was accounted for as an increase to the retained earnings balance as
of January 1, 2007. After considering the impact of adopting FIN 48, the Company had an $11
million reserve for uncertain income tax positions as of January 1, 2007.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, changes in the reserve balance were not
material. The Company does not presently anticipate that its existing reserves related to uncertain income tax
positions as of September 30, 2007 will significantly increase or
decrease during the twelve month period ended September 30, 2008; however,
various events could cause the Companys current expectations to
change in the future. These uncertain tax
positions, if ever recognized in the financial statements, would be recorded in the statement of
operations as part of the income tax provision.
The income tax reserve as of January 1, 2007 included an accrual for interest and penalties of
approximately $1 million. The change in the accrual for interest and penalties for the nine months
ended September 30, 2007 was not material. The Companys policy is to recognize interest and
penalties accrued on uncertain tax positions as part of income tax expense.
With few exceptions, periods ending after March 31, 2003 are subject to U.S., state and local
income tax examinations by tax authorities.
3. TRANSACTIONS WITH ADELPHIA AND COMCAST
Adelphia Acquisition and Related Transactions
On July 31, 2006, TW NY and Comcast completed their respective acquisitions of assets
comprising in the aggregate substantially all of the cable assets of Adelphia (the Adelphia
Acquisition). At the closing of the Adelphia Acquisition, TW NY paid approximately $8.9 billion
in cash, after giving effect to certain purchase price adjustments, and shares representing 17.3%
of TWCs Class A common stock (approximately 16% of TWCs outstanding common stock) valued at
approximately $5.5 billion for the portion of the Adelphia assets it acquired. The valuation of
approximately $5.5 billion for the approximately 16% interest in TWC as of July 31, 2006 was
determined by management using a discounted cash flow and market comparable valuation model. The
discounted cash flow valuation model was based upon the Companys estimated future cash flows
derived from its business plan and utilized a discount rate consistent with the inherent risk in
the business. The 16% interest reflects 155,913,430 shares
36
TIME WARNER CABLE INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
(Unaudited)
of TWC Class A common stock issued to Adelphia, which were valued at $35.28 per share for
purposes of the Adelphia Acquisition.
In addition, on July 28, 2006, American Television and Communications Corporation (ATC), a
subsidiary of Time Warner, contributed its 1% common equity interest and $2.4 billion preferred
equity interest in Time Warner Entertainment Company, L.P. (TWE) to TW NY Holding, a newly
created subsidiary of TWC and the parent of TW NY, in exchange for a 12.43% non-voting common stock
interest in TW NY Holding having an equivalent fair value.
On July 31, 2006, immediately before the closing of the Adelphia Acquisition, Comcasts
interests in TWC and TWE were redeemed. Specifically, Comcasts 17.9% interest in TWC was redeemed
in exchange for 100% of the capital stock of a subsidiary of TWC holding both cable systems serving
approximately 589,000 subscribers, with an estimated fair value of approximately $2.470 billion, as
determined by management using a discounted cash flow and market comparable valuation model, and
approximately $1.857 billion in cash (the TWC Redemption). In addition, Comcasts 4.7% interest
in TWE was redeemed in exchange for 100% of the equity interests of a subsidiary of TWE holding
both cable systems serving approximately 162,000 subscribers, with an estimated fair value of
approximately $630 million, as determined by management using a discounted cash flow and market
comparable valuation model, and approximately $147 million in cash (the TWE Redemption and,
together with the TWC Redemption, the Redemptions). The discounted cash flow valuation model was
based upon the Companys estimated future cash flows derived from its business plan and utilized a
discount rate consistent with the inherent risk in the business. The TWC Redemption was designed
to qualify as a tax-free split-off under section 355 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the Tax Code). For accounting purposes, the Redemptions were treated as an acquisition
of Comcasts minority interests in TWC and TWE and a disposition of the cable systems that were
transferred to Comcast. As of December 31, 2006, the purchase of the minority interests resulted
in a reduction of goodwill of $738 million related to the excess of the carrying value of the
Comcast minority interests over the total fair value of the Redemptions. In addition, the
disposition of the cable systems resulted in an after-tax gain of $945 million included in
discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2006, which is comprised of a $131 million
pretax gain (calculated as the difference between the carrying value of the systems acquired by
Comcast in the Redemptions totaling $2.969 billion and the estimated fair value of $3.100 billion)
and a net tax benefit of $814 million, including the reversal of historical deferred tax
liabilities of approximately $838 million that had existed on systems transferred to Comcast in the
TWC Redemption.
Following the Redemptions and the Adelphia Acquisition, on July 31, 2006, TW NY and Comcast
swapped certain cable systems, most of which were acquired from Adelphia, each with an estimated
value of approximately $8.7 billion, as determined by management using a discounted cash flow and
market comparable valuation model, in order to enhance TWCs and Comcasts respective geographic
clusters of subscribers (the Exchange and, together with the Adelphia Acquisition and the
Redemptions, the Transactions), and TW NY paid Comcast approximately $67 million for certain
adjustments related to the Exchange. The discounted cash flow valuation model was based upon
estimated future cash flows and utilized a discount rate consistent with the inherent risk in the
business. The Exchange was accounted for as a purchase of cable systems from Comcast and a sale of
TW NYs cable systems to Comcast. The systems exchanged by TW NY included Urban Cable Works of
Philadelphia, L.P. (Urban Cable) and systems acquired from Adelphia. The Company did not record
a gain or loss on systems TW NY acquired from Adelphia and transferred to Comcast in the Exchange
because such systems were recorded at fair value in the Adelphia Acquisition. The Company did,
however, record a pretax gain of $34 million ($20 million, net of tax) on the Exchange related to
the disposition of Urban Cable, which is included in discontinued operations for the year ended
December 31, 2006.

Intangible assets and goodwill associated with the Adelphia Acquisition are
deductible over a 15-year period for tax purposes and would reduce net cash tax payments by
more than $300 million per year, assuming the following: (i) straight-line amortization
deductions over 15 years, (ii) sufficient taxable income to utilize the amortization
deductions and (iii) a 40% effective tax rate. |
The allocation of the purchase price for the Adelphia Acquisition and the Exchange primarily
used a discounted cash flow approach with respect to identified intangible assets and a combination
of the cost and market approaches with respect to property, plant and equipment. The discounted
cash flow approach was based upon managements estimated future cash flows from the acquired assets
and liabilities and utilized a discount rate consistent with the inherent risk of each of the
acquired assets and liabilities.
The results of the systems acquired in connection with the Transactions have been included in
the consolidated statement of operations since the closing of the Transactions. The systems
previously owned by TWC that were transferred to Comcast in connection with the Redemptions and the
Exchange (the Transferred Systems) have been reflected as discontinued operations in the
consolidated financial statements for all periods presented.

Included in discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006
were a pretax gain of approximately $145 million on the Transferred Systems and a tax benefit of
approximately $804 million, comprised of a tax benefit of $817 million on the Redemptions,
partially offset by a provision of $13 million on the Exchange. The tax benefit of $817 million
resulted primarily from the reversal of historical deferred tax liabilities (included in noncurrent
liabilities of discontinued operations) that had existed on systems transferred to Comcast in the
TWC Redemption. The TWC Redemption was designed to qualify as a tax-free split-off under section
355 of the Tax Code, and, as a result, such liabilities were no longer required. However, if the
Internal Revenue Service were successful in challenging the tax-free characterization of the TWC
Redemption, an additional cash liability on account of taxes of up to an estimated $900 million
could become payable by the Company.
As a result of the closing of the Transactions, TWC acquired systems with approximately 4.0
million basic video subscribers and disposed of the Transferred Systems, with approximately 0.8
million basic video subscribers, for a net gain of approximately 3.2 million basic video
subscribers. As of September 30, 2007, Time Warner owned approximately 84.0% of TWCs outstanding
common stock (including 82.7% of TWCs outstanding Class A common stock and all outstanding shares
of TWCs Class B common stock), as well as a 12.43% non-voting common stock interest in TW NY
Holding. As a result of the Redemptions, Comcast no longer had an interest in TWC or TWE.
On February 13, 2007, Adelphias Chapter 11 reorganization plan became effective and, under
applicable securities law regulations and provisions of the U.S. bankruptcy code, TWC became a
public company subject to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
Under the terms of the reorganization plan, most of the 155,913,430 shares of TWCs Class A common
stock that Adelphia received in the Adelphia Acquisition (representing approximately 16% of TWCs
outstanding common stock) are being distributed to Adelphias creditors. As of September 30, 2007,
approximately 96% of these shares of Class A common stock had been distributed to Adelphias
creditors. The remaining shares are expected to be distributed during the coming months as the
remaining disputes are resolved by the bankruptcy court. On March 1, 2007, TWCs Class A common
stock began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol TWC.
TKCCP Joint Venture
TKCCP was a 50-50 joint venture between TWE-A/N, which is a consolidated subsidiary of TWC,
and Comcast. In accordance with the terms of the TKCCP partnership agreement, on July 3, 2006,
Comcast notified TWC of its election to trigger the dissolution of the partnership and its decision
to allocate all of TKCCPs debt, which totaled approximately $2 billion, to the pool of assets
consisting of the Houston cable systems (the Houston Pool). On August 1, 2006, TWC notified
Comcast of its election to
39
TIME WARNER CABLE INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
(Unaudited)
receive the Kansas City Pool. On October 2, 2006, TWC received approximately $630 million
from Comcast due to the repayment of debt owed by TKCCP to TWE-A/N that had been allocated to the
Houston Pool. From July 1, 2006 through December 31, 2006, TWC was entitled to 100% of the
economic interest in the Kansas City Pool (and recognized such interest pursuant to the equity
method of accounting), and it was not entitled to any economic benefits of ownership from the
Houston Pool.
On January 1, 2007, TKCCP distributed its assets to TWC and Comcast. TWC received the Kansas
City Pool, which served approximately 788,000 basic video subscribers as of December 31, 2006, and
Comcast received the Houston Pool, which served approximately 795,000 basic video subscribers as of
December 31, 2006. TWC began consolidating the results of the Kansas City Pool on January 1, 2007.
TKCCP was formally dissolved on May 15, 2007.
For accounting purposes, the Company has treated the distribution of TKCCPs assets as a sale
of the Companys 50% equity interest in the Houston Pool and as an acquisition of Comcasts 50%
equity interest in the Kansas City Pool. As a result of the sale of the Companys 50% equity
interest in the Houston Pool, the Company recorded a pretax gain of approximately $146 million in
the first quarter of 2007, which is included as a component of other income, net, in the
consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.
The acquisition of Comcasts 50% equity interest in the Kansas City Pool on January 1, 2007
was treated as a step-acquisition and accounted for as a purchase business combination. The
consideration paid to acquire the 50% equity interest in the Kansas City Pool was the fair value of
the 50% equity interest in the Houston Pool transferred to Comcast. The estimated fair value of
TWCs 50% interest in the Houston Pool (approximately $880 million) was determined using a
discounted cash flow analysis and was reduced by debt assumed by Comcast. The purchase price
allocation is as follows as of September 30, 2007 (in millions):

Debt Securities
On April 9, 2007, the Company issued $5.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of senior
unsecured notes and debentures (the 2007 Bond Offering) consisting of $1.5 billion principal
amount of 5.40% Notes due 2012 (the 2012 Initial Notes), $2.0 billion principal amount of 5.85%
Notes due 2017 (the 2017 Initial Notes) and $1.5 billion principal amount of 6.55% Debentures due
2037 (the 2037 Initial Debentures and, together with the 2012 Initial Notes and the 2017 Initial
Notes, the Initial Debt Securities) pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended. The Initial Debt Securities are guaranteed by TWE and TW NY Holding (the
Guarantors).
In connection with the issuance of the Initial Debt Securities, on April 9, 2007, the Company,
the Guarantors and the initial purchasers of the Initial Debt Securities entered into a
Registration Rights Agreement (the Registration Rights Agreement) pursuant to which the Company
agreed, among other things, to use its commercially reasonable efforts to consummate a registered
exchange offer for the Initial Debt Securities within 270 days after the issuance date of the
Initial Debt Securities or cause a shelf registration statement covering the resale of the Initial
Debt Securities to be declared effective within specified periods. On
November 5, 2007, pursuant to a registered exchange offer, the
Company and the Guarantors exchanged (i)
substantially all of the 2012 Initial Notes for a like aggregate principal amount of registered debt securities
without transfer restrictions or registration rights (the 2012 Registered Notes, and, together
with the 2012 Initial Notes, the 2012 Notes), (ii) all of the 2017 Initial Notes
for a like aggregate principal amount of registered debt securities without transfer restrictions
or registration rights (the 2017 Registered Notes, and, together with the 2017 Initial Notes, the
2017 Notes), and (iii) substantially all of the 2037 Initial Debentures for a like aggregate
principal amount of registered debt securities without transfer restrictions or registration rights
(the 2037 Registered Debentures, and, together with the 2037 Initial Debentures, the 2037
Debentures). Collectively, the 2012 Notes, the 2017 Notes and the 2037 Debentures are referred to
as the Debt Securities.
The Debt Securities were issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of April 9, 2007 (the Base
Indenture), by and among the Company, the Guarantors and The Bank of New York, as trustee, as
supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of April 9, 2007 (the First
Supplemental Indenture and, together with the Base Indenture, the Indenture), by and among the
Company, the Guarantors and The Bank of New York, as trustee.
The 2012 Notes mature on July 2, 2012, the 2017 Notes mature on May 1, 2017 and the 2037
Debentures mature on May 1, 2037. Interest on the 2012 Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears
on January 2 and July 2 of each year, beginning on July 2, 2007. Interest on the 2017 Notes and
the 2037 Debentures is payable semi-annually in arrears on May 1 and November 1 of each year,
beginning on November 1, 2007. The Debt Securities are unsecured senior obligations of the Company
and rank equally with its other unsecured and unsubordinated obligations. The guarantees of the
Debt Securities are unsecured senior obligations of the Guarantors and rank equally in right of
payment with all other unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the Guarantors.
The Debt Securities may be redeemed in whole or in part at any time at the Companys option at
a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Debt Securities
being redeemed and (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments on the
Debt Securities discounted to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis at a government treasury
rate plus 20 basis points for the 2012 Notes, 30 basis points for the 2017 Notes and 35 basis
points for the 2037 Debentures as further described in the Indenture, plus, in each case, accrued
but unpaid interest to the redemption date.
The Indenture contains customary covenants relating to restrictions on the ability of the
Company or any material subsidiary to create liens and on the ability of the Company and the
Guarantors to consolidate, merge or convey or transfer substantially all of their assets. The
Indenture also contains customary events of default.

Bank Credit Agreements and Commercial Paper Program
In the first quarter of 2006, the Company entered into $14.0 billion of bank credit
agreements, consisting of an amended and restated $6.0 billion senior unsecured five-year revolving
credit facility maturing February 15, 2011 (the Cable Revolving Facility), a $4.0 billion
five-year term loan facility maturing February 21, 2011 (the Five-Year Term Facility) and a $4.0
billion three-year term loan facility maturing February 24, 2009 (the Three-Year Term Facility
and, together with the Five-Year Term Facility, the Term Facilities). The Term Facilities,
together with the Cable Revolving Facility, are referred to as the Cable Facilities.
Collectively, the Cable Facilities refinanced $4.0 billion of previously existing committed bank
financing, and $2.0 billion of the Cable Revolving Facility and $8.0 billion of the Term Facilities
were used to finance, in part, the cash portions of the Transactions. The Cable Facilities are
guaranteed by TWE and TW NY Holding (or, in the case of the Three-Year Term Facility, was
guaranteed by TWE and TW NY Holding, as discussed below).
In April 2007, TWC used the net proceeds of the 2007 Bond Offering to repay all of the
outstanding indebtedness under the Three-Year Term Facility, which was terminated on April 13,
2007. The balance of the net proceeds was used to repay a portion of the outstanding indebtedness
under the Five-Year Term Facility on April 27, 2007, which reduced the outstanding indebtedness
under such facility to $3.045 billion as of such date.
Borrowings under the Cable Revolving Facility bear interest at a rate based on the credit
rating of TWC, which rate was LIBOR plus 0.27% per annum at September 30, 2007. In addition, TWC
is required to pay a facility fee on the aggregate commitments under the Cable Revolving Facility
at a rate determined by the credit rating of TWC, which rate was 0.08% per annum at September 30,
2007. TWC may also incur an additional usage fee of 0.10% per annum on the outstanding loans and
other extensions of credit under the Cable Revolving Facility if and when such amounts exceed 50%
of the aggregate commitments thereunder. Borrowings under the Five-Year Term Facility accrue
interest at a rate based on the credit rating of TWC, which rate was LIBOR plus 0.40% per annum at
September 30, 2007.
The Cable Revolving Facility provides same-day funding capability and a portion of the
commitment, not to exceed $500 million at any time, may be used for the issuance of letters of
credit. The Cable Revolving Facility and the Five-Year Term Facility contain a maximum leverage
ratio covenant of 5.0 times the consolidated EBITDA of TWC. The terms and related financial
metrics associated with the leverage ratio are defined in the applicable agreements. At September
30, 2007, TWC was in compliance with the leverage covenant, with a leverage ratio, calculated in
accordance with the agreements, of approximately 2.5 times. The Cable Revolving Facility and the
Five-Year Term Facility do not contain any credit ratings-based defaults or covenants or any
ongoing covenant or representations specifically relating to a material adverse change in the
financial condition or results of operations of Time Warner or TWC. Borrowings under the Cable
Revolving Facility may be used for general corporate purposes and unused credit is available to
support borrowings under TWCs commercial paper program.
In addition to the Cable Revolving Facility and the Five-Year Term Facility, TWC maintains a
$6.0 billion unsecured commercial paper program (the CP Program) that is also guaranteed by TW NY
Holding and TWE. Commercial paper issued under the CP Program is supported by unused committed
capacity under the Cable Revolving Facility and ranks pari passu with other unsecured senior
indebtedness of TWC, TWE and TW NY Holding. As a result of recent market volatility in the U.S.
debt markets, including the dislocation of the overall commercial paper market, TWC has decreased
the amount of commercial paper outstanding under the CP Program, and has offset this decrease by
increasing borrowings outstanding under the Cable Revolving Facility.
As of September 30, 2007, there were borrowings of $3.045 billion outstanding under the
Five-Year Term Facility, borrowings of $1.800 billion and letters of credit totaling $135 million
outstanding under the
45
TIME WARNER CABLE INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
(Unaudited)
Cable Revolving Facility, and $1.018 billion of commercial paper outstanding under the CP
Program. TWCs available committed capacity under the Cable Revolving Facility as of September 30,
2007 was approximately $3.046 billion, and TWC had $511 million of cash and equivalents on hand.
Time Warner Approval Rights
Under a shareholder agreement entered into between TWC and Time Warner on April 20, 2005 (the
Shareholder Agreement), TWC is required to obtain Time Warners approval prior to incurring
additional debt (except for ordinary course issuances of commercial paper or borrowings under the
Cable Revolving Facility up to the limit of that credit facility, to which Time Warner has
consented) or rental expenses (other than with respect to certain approved leases) or issuing
preferred equity, if its consolidated ratio of debt, including preferred equity, plus six times its
annual rental expense to EBITDAR (the TW Leverage Ratio) then exceeds, or would as a result of
the incurrence or issuance exceed, 3:1. Under certain circumstances, TWC is required to include the
indebtedness, annual rental expense obligations and EBITDAR of certain unconsolidated entities that
it manages and/or in which it owns an equity interest, in the calculation of the TW Leverage Ratio.
The Shareholder Agreement defines EBITDAR, at any time of measurement, as operating income plus
depreciation, amortization and rental expense (for any lease that is not accounted for as a capital
lease) for the twelve months ending on the last day of TWCs most recent fiscal quarter, including
certain adjustments to reflect the impact of significant transactions as if they had occurred at
the beginning of the period.
The following table sets forth the calculation of the TW Leverage Ratio for the twelve months

6. EQUITY-BASED COMPENSATION
TWC Equity Plan
On June 8, 2006, the Companys board of directors approved the Time Warner Cable Inc. 2006
Stock Incentive Plan (the 2006 Plan) under which awards covering the issuance of up to
100,000,000 shares of TWC Class A common stock may be granted to directors, employees and certain
non-employee advisors of TWC. The Company made its first grant of equity awards based on TWC Class
A common stock in April 2007. Stock options have been granted under the 2006 Plan with exercise
prices equal to the fair market value at the date of grant. Generally, the stock options vest
ratably over a four-year vesting period and expire ten years from the date of grant. Certain stock
option awards provide for accelerated vesting upon an election to retire pursuant to TWCs defined
benefit retirement plans or after reaching a specified age and years of service. For the nine
months ended September 30, 2007, TWC granted approximately 2.9 million options at a
weighted-average grant date fair value of $13.33 ($8.00, net of tax) per option. The assumptions
presented in the table below represent the weighted-average value of the applicable assumption used
to value TWC stock options at their grant date for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.

Under the 2006 Plan, the Company also granted restricted stock units (RSUs), which generally
vest over a four-year period from the date of grant. Certain RSU awards provide for accelerated
vesting upon an election to retire pursuant to TWCs defined benefit retirement plans or after
reaching a specified age and years of service. Shares of TWC Class A common stock will generally
be issued in connection with the vesting of an RSU. RSUs awarded to non-employee directors are not
subject to vesting restrictions and the shares underlying the RSUs will be issued in connection
with a directors termination of service as a director. For the nine months ended September 30,
2007, TWC granted approximately 2.1 million RSUs at a weighted-average grant date fair value of
$37.07 per RSU.

Time Warner Equity Plans
Historically, Time Warner granted options to purchase Time Warner common stock under its
equity plans to employees of TWC. Upon TWC becoming a public company, Time Warner ceased making
equity awards under its equity plans to employees of TWC. The options granted by Time Warner to
employees of TWC were granted with exercise prices equal to, or in excess of, the fair market value
at the date of grant. Generally, the options vest ratably over a four-year vesting period and
expire ten years from the date of grant. Certain option awards provide for accelerated vesting
upon an election to retire pursuant to TWCs defined benefit retirement plans or after reaching a
specified age and years of service. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, Time Warner
granted approximately 8.8 million options to employees of TWC at a weighted-average grant date fair
value of $4.47 ($2.68, net of tax) per option. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, no
Time Warner options were granted to TWC employees. The assumptions presented in the table below
represent the weighted-average value of the applicable assumption used to value stock options at
their grant date for the nine months ended September 30, 2006.

Time Warner also granted shares of Time Warner common stock or RSUs, which generally vest
between three to five years from the date of grant, to employees of TWC pursuant to Time Warners
equity plans. Certain RSU awards provide for accelerated vesting upon an election to retire
pursuant to TWCs defined benefit retirement plans or after reaching a specified age and years of
service. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, Time Warner issued approximately 429,000
RSUs to employees of TWC and

its subsidiaries at a weighted-average grant date fair value of $17.40 per RSU. For the nine
months ended September 30, 2007, no Time Warner RSUs were issued to TWC employees.

7. PENSION COSTS
The Company participates in various funded and unfunded noncontributory defined benefit
pension plans administered by Time Warner (the Pension Plans). Benefits under the Pension Plans
for all employees are determined based on formulas that reflect the employees years of service and
compensation during their employment period and participation in the plans. TWC uses a December 31
measurement date for the majority of its plans. A summary of the components of the net periodic
benefit cost from continuing operations is as follows (in millions):

(a) |
|
On August 1, 2007, the former employees of Adelphia and Comcast who became employees
of TWC became eligible to participate in the Pension Plans, which resulted in a new
measurement of those plans as of that date. The impact of the new measurement on these plans
as of August 1, 2007 will result in an increase in pension expense of $4 million over the last
five months of 2007. |
After considering the funded status of the Companys defined benefit pension plans, movements
in the discount rate, investment performance and related tax consequences, the Company may choose
to make contributions to its pension plans in any given year. There currently are no minimum
required contributions and no discretionary or noncash contributions are currently planned.
8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Legal Proceedings
On September 20, 2007, Brantley, et al. v. NBC Universal, Inc., et al. was filed in the U.S.
District Court for the Central District of California against the Company and Time Warner. The
complaint, which also names as defendants several other programming content providers
(collectively, the programmer defendants) as well as other cable and satellite providers
(collectively, the distributor defendants), alleges violations of Sections 1 and 2 of the Sherman
Antitrust Act. Among other things, the complaint alleges coordination between and among the
programmer defendants to sell and/or license programming on
48

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
(Unaudited)
a bundled basis to the distributor defendants, who in turn purportedly offer that
programming to subscribers in packaged tiers, rather than on a per channel (or à la carte) basis.
Plaintiffs, who seek to represent a purported nationwide class of cable and satellite subscribers,
demand, among other things, unspecified treble monetary damages and an injunction to compel the
offering of channels to subscribers on an à la carte basis. The Company intends to defend
against this lawsuit vigorously, but is unable to predict the outcome of this suit or reasonably
estimate a range of possible loss.
On May 20, 2006, America Channel LLC (America Channel) filed a lawsuit in U.S. District
Court for the District of Minnesota against both TWC and Comcast alleging that the purchase of
Adelphia by Comcast and TWC would injure competition in the cable system and cable network markets
and violate the federal antitrust laws. The lawsuit sought monetary damages as well as an
injunction blocking the Adelphia Acquisition. The United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern
District of New York issued an order enjoining America Channel from pursuing injunctive relief in
the District of Minnesota and ordering that America Channels efforts to enjoin the transaction
could only be heard in the Southern District of New York, where the Adelphia bankruptcy is pending.
America Channels appeal of this order was dismissed on October 10, 2006, and its claim for
injunctive relief should now be moot. However, America Channel announced its intention to proceed
with its damages case in the District of Minnesota. On September 19, 2006, the Company filed a
motion to dismiss this action, which was granted on January 17, 2007 with leave to replead. On
February 5, 2007, America Channel filed an amended complaint. TWC filed a motion to dismiss the
amended complaint on April 10, 2007, which motion was granted on June 28, 2007. America Channel
filed a notice of appeal of the dismissal of its amended complaint on
July 9, 2007. On October 26, 2007, the parties submitted a stipulation to
dismiss the appeal with prejudice and, on October 30, 2007, the appeal was dismissed to end the
lawsuit.
On June 22, 2005, Mecklenburg County filed suit against TWE-A/N in the General Court of
Justice District Court Division, Mecklenburg County, North Carolina. Mecklenburg County, the
franchisor in TWE-A/Ns Mecklenburg County cable system, alleges that TWE-A/Ns predecessor failed
to construct an institutional network in 1981 and that TWE-A/N assumed that obligation upon the
transfer of the franchise in 1995. Mecklenburg County is seeking compensatory damages and TWE-A/Ns
release of certain video channels it is currently using on the cable system. On April 14, 2006,
TWE-A/N filed a motion for summary judgment, which is pending. TWE-A/N intends to defend against
this lawsuit vigorously, but the Company is unable to predict the outcome of this suit or
reasonably estimate a range of possible loss.
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 a purported nationwide class action in U.S.
District Court for the Eastern District of New York claiming that 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 and common law. The plaintiffs seek
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 injunctive relief. On June 2, 2003, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second
Circuit vacated the District Courts decision denying class certification as a matter of law and
remanded the case for further proceedings on class certification and other matters. On May 4,
2004, plaintiffs filed a motion for class certification, which the Company opposed. On October 25,
2005, the court granted preliminary approval of a class settlement arrangement on terms that were
not material to the Company. A final settlement approval hearing was held on May 19, 2006, and on
January 26, 2007, the court denied approval of the settlement. The Company intends to defend
against this lawsuit vigorously, but is unable to predict the outcome of this suit.

Certain Patent Litigation
On September 1, 2006, Ronald A. Katz Technology Licensing, L.P. (Katz) filed a complaint in
the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware alleging that TWC and several other cable
operators, among other defendants, infringe a number of patents purportedly relating to the
Companys customer call center operations, voicemail and/or VOD services. The plaintiff is seeking
unspecified monetary damages as well as injunctive relief. On March 20, 2007, this case, together
with other lawsuits filed by Katz, was made subject to a Multidistrict Litigation (MDL) Order
transferring the case for pretrial proceedings to the U.S. District Court for the Central District
of California. The Company intends to defend against this claim vigorously, but is unable to
predict the outcome of this suit or reasonably estimate a range of possible loss.
On July 14, 2006, Hybrid Patents Inc. filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the
Eastern District of Texas alleging that the Company and a number of other cable operators infringed
a patent purportedly relating to high-speed data and IP-based telephony services. The plaintiff is
seeking unspecified monetary damages as well as injunctive relief. The Company intends to defend
against this claim vigorously, but is unable to predict the outcome of this suit or reasonably
estimate a range of possible loss.
On June 1, 2006, Rembrandt Technologies, LP (Rembrandt) filed a complaint in the U.S.
District Court for the Eastern District of Texas alleging that the Company and a number of other
cable operators infringed several patents purportedly related to a variety of technologies,
including high-speed data and IP-based telephony services. In addition, on September 13, 2006,
Rembrandt filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas alleging
that the Company infringes several patents purportedly related to high-speed cable modem internet
products and services. In each of these cases, the plaintiff is seeking unspecified monetary
damages as well as injunctive relief. On June 18, 2007, these cases, along with other lawsuits
filed by Rembrandt, were made subject to an MDL Order transferring the case for pretrial
proceedings to the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware. The Company intends to defend
against these lawsuits vigorously, but is unable to predict the outcome of these suits or
reasonably estimate a range of possible loss.
On April 26, 2005, Acacia Media Technologies (AMT) filed suit against TWC in the U.S.
District Court for the Southern District of New York alleging that TWC infringes several patents
held by AMT. AMT has publicly taken the position that delivery of broadcast video (except live
programming such as sporting events), pay-per-view, VOD and ad insertion services over cable
systems infringe its patents. AMT has brought similar actions regarding the same patents against
numerous other entities, and all of the previously pending litigations have been made the subject
of an MDL Order consolidating the actions for pretrial activity in the U.S. District Court for the
Northern District of California. On October 25, 2005, the TWC action was consolidated into the MDL
proceedings. The plaintiff is seeking unspecified monetary damages as well as injunctive relief.
The Company intends to defend against this lawsuit vigorously, but is unable to predict the outcome
of this suit or reasonably estimate a range of possible loss.
From time to time, the Company receives notices from third parties claiming that it infringes
their intellectual property rights. Claims of intellectual property infringement could require TWC
to enter into royalty or licensing agreements on unfavorable terms, incur substantial monetary
liability or be enjoined preliminarily or permanently from further use of the intellectual property
in question. In addition, certain agreements entered into by the Company may require the Company
to indemnify the other party for certain third-party intellectual property infringement claims,
which could increase the Companys damages and its costs of defending against such claims. Even if
the claims are without merit, defending against the claims can be time-consuming and costly.
As part of the TWE Restructuring, Time Warner agreed to indemnify 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. Although Time Warner has agreed to
indemnify the cable businesses of TWE against such liabilities, TWE remains a named party in
certain litigation matters.
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 Company relating to intellectual property rights
and intellectual property licenses, could have a material adverse effect on the Companys business,
financial condition and operating results.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Time Warner Entertainment Company, L.P. (TWE) and TW NY Cable Holding Inc. (TW NY Holding
and, together with TWE, the Guarantor Subsidiaries) are subsidiaries of Time Warner Cable Inc.
(the Parent Company). The Guarantor Subsidiaries have fully and unconditionally, jointly and
severally, directly or indirectly, guaranteed the debt issued by the Parent Company in its 2007
registered exchange offer. The Parent Company owns 100% of the voting interests, directly or
indirectly, of both TWE and TW NY Holding.
The Securities and Exchange Commissions rules require that condensed consolidating financial
information be provided for subsidiaries that have guaranteed debt of a registrant issued in a
public offering, where each such guarantee is full and unconditional and where the voting interests
of the subsidiaries are 100% owned by the registrant. Set forth below are condensed consolidating
financial statements presenting the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of
(i) the Parent Company, (ii) the Guarantor Subsidiaries on a combined basis (as such guarantees are
joint and several), (iii) the direct and indirect non-guarantor subsidiaries of the Parent Company
(the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries) on a combined basis and (iv) the eliminations necessary to
arrive at the information for Time Warner Cable Inc. on a consolidated basis.
There are no legal or regulatory restrictions on the Parent Companys ability to obtain funds
from any of its subsidiaries through dividends, loans or advances.
These condensed consolidating financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements of Time Warner Cable Inc.
Basis of Presentation
In presenting the condensed consolidating financial statements, the equity method of
accounting has been applied to (i) the Parent Companys interests in the Guarantor Subsidiaries and
the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries and (ii) the Guarantor Subsidiaries interests in the Non-Guarantor
Subsidiaries, where applicable, even though all such subsidiaries meet the requirements to be
consolidated under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. All intercompany balances and
transactions between the Parent Company, the Guarantor Subsidiaries and the Non-Guarantor
Subsidiaries have been eliminated, as shown in the column Eliminations.
The accounting bases in all subsidiaries, including goodwill and identified intangible assets,
have been allocated to the applicable subsidiaries.
Time Warner Cable Inc. is not a separate taxable entity for U.S. federal and various state
income tax purposes and its results are included in the consolidated U.S. federal and certain state
income tax returns of Time Warner Inc. In the condensed consolidating financial statements, tax
expense has been presented based on each subsidiarys legal
entity basis. Deferred taxes of the Parent Company, the Guarantor Subsidiaries and the Non-Guarantor
Subsidiaries have been presented based upon the temporary differences between the carrying amounts
of the respective assets and liabilities of the applicable entities.
Costs incurred by the Parent Company, the Guarantor Subsidiaries or the Non-Guarantor
Subsidiaries are allocated to the various entities based on the relative usage of such expenses.

Part II. Other Information
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
On September 20, 2007, Brantley, et al. v. NBC Universal, Inc., et al. was filed in the U.S.
District Court for the Central District of California against the Company and Time Warner. The
complaint, which also names as defendants several other programming content providers
(collectively, the programmer defendants) as well as other cable and satellite providers
(collectively, the distributor defendants), alleges violations of Sections 1 and 2 of the Sherman
Antitrust Act. Among other things, the complaint alleges coordination between and among the
programmer defendants to sell and/or license programming on a bundled basis to the distributor
defendants, who in turn purportedly offer that programming to subscribers in packaged tiers, rather
than on a per channel (or à la carte) basis. Plaintiffs, who seek to represent a purported
nationwide class of cable and satellite subscribers, demand, among other things, unspecified treble
monetary damages and an injunction to compel the offering of channels to subscribers on an à la
carte basis. The Company intends to defend against this lawsuit vigorously, but is unable to
predict the outcome of this suit or reasonably estimate a range of possible loss.
Reference is made to the lawsuit filed by the America Channel LLC (America Channel)
described on page 49 of the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2006, page 44 of the Companys Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2007,
and page 49 of the Companys Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2007.
America Channel filed a notice of appeal of the dismissal of its
amended complaint on July 9, 2007. On October 26, 2007, the parties submitted a
stipulation to dismiss the appeal with prejudice and, on October 30, 2007, the appeal was dismissed
to end the lawsuit.
