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. At June 30, 2007, TWC had approximately
13.4 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 June 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. TWC expects to continue to increase video revenues through the offering of advanced
digital video services such as video-on-demand (VOD), subscription-video-on-demand (SVOD), high
definition television (HDTV) and set-top boxes equipped with digital video recorders (DVRs), as
well as through price increases and subscriber growth. TWCs digital video subscribers provide a
broad base of potential customers for additional advanced services. Providing basic video services
is a competitive and highly penetrated business, and, as a result, TWC expects slower incremental
growth in the number of basic video subscribers compared to the growth in TWCs advanced service
offerings. 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, and it is expected that the Companys video service margins will decline over
the next few years as programming cost increases 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 June 30, 2007, TWC had approximately 7.2 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 slow over time as high-speed data services become
increasingly well-penetrated. In addition, as narrowband Internet users continue to migrate to
broadband connections, TWC anticipates that an increasing percentage of its new high-speed data
customers will elect to purchase its entry-level high-speed data service, which is generally less
expensive than TWCs flagship service. As a result, over time, TWCs average high-speed data
revenue per subscriber may decline reflecting this shift in mix. TWC also offers commercial
high-speed data services and had approximately 263,000 commercial high-speed data subscribers as of
June 30, 2007.
Approximately 2.3 million subscribers received Digital Phone service, TWCs voice service, as
of June 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 is also
currently deploying lower-priced calling plans to serve those customers that do not use interstate
and/or long-distance calling plans extensively and intends to offer additional plans with a variety
of calling options 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 remainder of 2007 in most of the systems TWC owned
before and retained after the transactions with Adelphia and Comcast (the Legacy Systems). TWC is
also introducing this service in some of the systems acquired in and retained after the
transactions with Adelphia and Comcast (the Acquired Systems).
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. In 2006, TWC began
offering under the Pivot brand
name a bundle that includes Sprint wireless service (with some unique TWC features) in limited
operating areas and TWC will continue to roll out this service during the remainder of 2007.
Some of TWCs principal competitors, in particular, direct broadcast satellite operators and
incumbent local telephone companies, 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 are aggressively seeking to offer them in bundles similar to TWCs. TWC
expects that the availability of these bundled service offerings will continue to intensify
competition.
2
TIME WARNER CABLE INC.
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION(Continued)
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 is in the midst of 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 largely complete by the
end of 2007. As of June 30, 2007, Digital Phone was available to over 40% of the homes passed in
the Acquired Systems. TWC expects to continue to roll out Digital Phone service across the Acquired
Systems during the remainder 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 various 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 June 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
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. See Financial Condition and LiquidityDebt Securities for further
details. Pursuant to an agreement entered into in connection with this issuance, on June 7, 2007,
the Company and the two subsidiaries of the Company that guarantee the Companys obligations under
the securities filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) a registration
statement on Form S-4 covering a registered exchange offer for the securities issued in the 2007
Bond Offering. The registration statement is not yet effective.
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
3
TIME WARNER CABLE INC.
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION(Continued)
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
six months ended June 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 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 Cable Holding Inc. (TW NY Holding), a subsidiary of TWC
and the parent of TW NY, in exchange for an approximately 12.4% 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 June 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 an approximately 12.4% 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 June 30, 2007, approximately 91% 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, including 4% of such shares that were placed in escrow in connection with the Adelphia Acquisition.
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.
4
TIME WARNER CABLE INC.
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION(Continued)
Video revenues include monthly fees for basic, standard and digital services from both
residential and commercial subscribers, together with related equipment rental charges, including
charges for set-top boxes, and charges for premium programming and SVOD services. Video revenues
also include installation, pay-per-view and VOD charges and franchise fees relating to video
charges 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 74,000 circuit-switched subscribers (as of June 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 and, in some areas,
has begun the process of discontinuing the circuit-switched offering in accordance with regulatory
requirements. In those areas where the circuit-switched offering is discontinued, the only voice
service provided by TWC will be Digital Phone.
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 expenses. 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.
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
5
TIME WARNER CABLE INC.
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION(Continued)
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. Management also uses
OIBDA because it believes it provides an indication of the Companys ability to service debt and
fund capital expenditures, as OIBDA removes the impact of depreciation and amortization. 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.

Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior years financial information to conform
to the June 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 six months
ended June 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 only 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. |

Comcast in the Exchange who receive traditional, circuit-switched telephone service (which
totaled approximately 74,000 consolidated subscribers at June 30, 2007). |
Subscription revenues increased for the three and six months ended June 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, video price increases and growth in basic
video subscriber levels in the Legacy Systems. Aggregate revenues associated with the Companys
digital video services, including digital tiers, digital pay channels, pay-per-view, VOD, SVOD and
DVRs, increased 71% to $609 million for the three

months ended June 30, 2007 from $357 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006, and increased
70% to $1.172 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2007 from $689 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2006.
High-speed data revenues for the three and six months ended June 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 in the Legacy Systems. Commercial high-speed data revenues increased to
$106 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 from $74 million for the three months ended
June 30, 2006, and increased to $207 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 from $144
million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. Strong growth rates for high-speed data service
revenues are expected to continue during the remainder of 2007.
The increase in voice revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 was primarily
due to growth in Digital Phone subscribers in the Legacy Systems and the consolidation of the
Kansas City Pool. Voice revenues associated with the Acquired Systems also included approximately
$11 million and $25 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively, of
revenues associated with subscribers acquired from Comcast who received traditional,
circuit-switched telephone service. Strong growth rates for voice revenues are expected to continue
during the remainder of 2007.
Average monthly subscription revenue (which includes video, high-speed data and voice
revenues) per basic video subscriber (subscription ARPU) increased approximately 2% to $94 for
the three months ended June 30, 2007 from approximately $92 for the three months ended June 30,
2006, and increased approximately 3% to $93 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 from
approximately $90 for the six months ended June 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.
For the three months ended June 30, 2007, Advertising revenues increased due to an $81 million
increase in local advertising and a $12 million increase in national advertising. For the six
months ended June 30, 2007, Advertising revenues increased due to a $151 million increase in local
advertising and a $22 million increase in national advertising. These increases were primarily due
to the impact of the Acquired Systems and, to a lesser extent, the consolidation of the Kansas City
Pool and growth in the Legacy Systems.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, costs of revenues increased 68% and
71%, respectively, and, as a percentage of revenues, were 47% and 48% for the three and six months
ended June 30, 2007, respectively, compared to 44% and 45% for the three and six months ended June
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 increases in costs of revenues as a percentage of
revenues reflect lower margins in the Acquired Systems.

OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION(Continued)
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, the
increase in video subscribers and the expansion of service offerings in the Legacy Systems. Video programming
costs for the six months ended June 30, 2006 also included an $11 million benefit reflecting an
adjustment in the amortization of certain launch support payments. Video programming costs in the
Acquired Systems and the Kansas City Pool totaled $256 million and $51 million, respectively, for
the three months ended June 30, 2007 and $513 million and $101 million, respectively, for the six
months ended June 30, 2007. For the three months ended June 30, average per subscriber programming
costs increased 7%, to $21.89 per month in 2007 from $20.41 per month in 2006. For the six months
ended June 30, average per subscriber programming costs increased 9% to $21.89 per month in 2007
from $20.06 per month in 2006.
Employee costs for the three and six months ended June 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 six months ended June 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 and certain other costs. High-speed data
service costs increased for the three and six months ended June 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 six months ended June
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 revenue-driven increases in fees paid to local
franchise authorities and increases in other costs associated with the continued roll-out of
advanced services in the Legacy Systems. Additionally, other costs for the three and six months
ended June 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 six months ended June 30, 2007, selling, general and administrative
expenses increased as a result of higher employee, marketing and other costs. 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, salary
increases and an increase in equity-based compensation. Marketing costs increased as a result of
the Acquired Systems and higher costs associated with the continued roll-out of advanced services.
Other costs 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 three and six months ended

OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION(Continued)
June 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 $7 million for the three and six months
ended June 30, 2007, respectively, and $7 million and $11 million for the three and six months

million and $9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively, and $4
million and $10 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively. The
Companys restructuring activities are part of its broader plans to simplify its organizational
structure and enhance its customer focus. TWC is in the process of executing these initiatives and
expects to incur additional costs as these plans continue to be implemented throughout 2007.

OIBDA. OIBDA increased for the three and six months ended June 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 six months ended June
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, which
generally has a significantly shorter useful life compared to the mix of assets previously
purchased.
Amortization expense. Amortization expense increased for the three and six months ended June
30, 2007 primarily as a result of the amortization of intangible assets related to customer
relationships
11
TIME WARNER CABLE INC.
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION(Continued)
associated
with the Acquired Systems. This was partially offset by a decrease due to the absence during the second quarter of 2007 of
amortization expense associated with customer relationships
recorded in connection with the restructuring of TWE in 2003, which were fully amortized at the end
of the first quarter of 2007.
Operating Income. Operating Income increased for the three and six months ended June 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
second half of 2007 as compared to the similar period in the prior year, although the full year
rates of growth are expected to be lower than those experienced in the first half of 2007 because
the last five months of 2006 also included contributions from the Acquired Systems.
Interest expense, net. Interest expense, net, increased for the three and six months ended
June 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 from equity investments, net. Income from equity investments, net, decreased for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2007 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
six months ended June 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 expense (income), net. The Company recorded a pretax gain of approximately $146
million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 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 June 30,
2007 and 2006, the Company recorded income tax provisions of $172 million and $170 million,
respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, the Company recorded income tax
provisions of $359 million and $307 million, respectively. The effective tax rate was approximately
39% and 40% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively, and 40% for both the
three and six months ended June 30, 2006.
Income before discontinued operations and cumulative effect of accounting change. Income
before discontinued operations and cumulative effect of accounting change was $272 million and $548
million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively, compared to $260 million
and $464 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively. Basic and diluted
income per common share before discontinued operations and cumulative effect of accounting change
were $0.28 and $0.56 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively, compared to
$0.26 and $0.47 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively. For the three
months ended June 30, 2007, the increases were primarily due to an increase in Operating Income,
partially offset by increases in interest expense, net, and minority interest expense, net, and a
decrease in income from equity investments, net. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, the
increases were primarily 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.

OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION(Continued)
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 six months ended
June 30, 2006, the Company recognized pretax income applicable to these systems of $55 million ($33
million, net of tax) and $107 million ($64 million, net of tax), respectively.
Cumulative effect of accounting change, net of tax. For the six months ended June 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 $272 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2007 compared to $293 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006. Basic and
diluted net income per common share were $0.28 for the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to
$0.29 for the three months ended June 30, 2006. Net income was $548 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2007, compared to $530 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. Basic and
diluted net income per common share were $0.56 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to
$0.53 for the six months ended June 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, $3.327 billion of available
borrowing capacity under its committed credit facilities and commercial paper program as of June
30, 2007 and access to the capital markets.
At June 30, 2007, the Company had $13.871 billion of debt, $70 million of cash and equivalents
(net debt of $13.801 billion), $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 $24.058 billion of shareholders equity. At 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.

TWC is a participant in a wireless spectrum joint venture with several other cable
companies and Sprint (the Wireless Joint Venture), which, on November 29, 2006, was awarded
certain advanced wireless spectrum licenses in an FCC auction. In 2006, TWC invested approximately
$633 million in the Wireless Joint Venture. Under the joint venture agreement, Sprint has the right
to exit the Wireless Joint Venture upon 60 days notice and to require that the Wireless Joint Venture purchase its
interests for an amount equal to Sprints capital contributions. During the second quarter of 2007,
Sprint notified the Wireless Joint Venture that it was exercising this option. TWC expects to
contribute approximately $30 million to the Wireless Joint Venture during the third quarter of 2007
to fund its share of the payment to

Sprint. 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 provided by operating activities increased from $1.541 billion for the six months
ended June 30, 2006 to $2.204 billion for the six months ended June 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
payments to Time Warner under the Companys tax sharing arrangement), 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 accounts payable and
accrual payments.

Cash used by investing activities increased from $1.165 billion for the six months ended
June 30, 2006 to $1.524 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2007. This increase was
principally due to an increase in capital expenditures from continuing operations, driven by
capital expenditures associated with the Acquired Systems, as well as the continued roll-out of
advanced digital services. The increase was partially offset by an increase in net cash acquired
from investments, which included distributions received from Sterling Entertainment Enterprises,
LLC (dba SportsNet New York), an equity method investee, and decreases in investment spending
related to the Companys equity investments, other acquisition-related expenditures and capital
expenditures from discontinued operations.

Represents costs incurred in the purchase and installation of equipment that
resides at a customers home or business for the purpose of receiving/sending video,
high-speed data and/or Digital Phone signals. Such equipment typically includes digital
set-top boxes, remote controls, high-speed data modems, telephone modems and the costs of
installing such equipment for new customers. Customer premise equipment also includes
materials and labor incurred to install the drop cable that connects a customers
dwelling or business to the closest point of the main distribution network. |
(b) |
|
Represents costs incurred in the purchase and installation of equipment that
controls signal reception, processing and transmission throughout TWCs distribution
network, as well as controls and communicates with the equipment residing at a customers
home or business. Also included in scalable infrastructure is certain equipment necessary
for content aggregation and distribution (VOD equipment) and equipment necessary to
provide 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
15
TIME WARNER CABLE INC.
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION(Continued)
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 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 and anticipates continuing to make
significant capital expenditures related to the continued integration of the Acquired Systems,
including improvements to plant and technical performance and upgrading system capacity, which will
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 $225 million to $275 million
during 2007 (including approximately $90 million incurred during the six months ended June 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.

Cash used by financing activities increased from $362 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2006 to $661 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007. This increase was due
primarily to an increase in the net repayments of borrowings under the Companys debt obligations
and other financing activities.

Debt Securities
On April 9, 2007, the Company issued $1.5 billion principal amount of 5.40% Notes due 2012
(the 2012 Notes), $2.0 billion principal amount of 5.85% Notes due 2017 (the 2017 Notes) and
$1.5 billion principal amount of 6.55% Debentures due 2037 (the 2037 Debentures and, together
with the 2012 Notes and the 2017 Notes, the Debt Securities) pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation
S under the Securities Act. The Debt Securities are guaranteed by TWE and TW NY Holding
(collectively, the Guarantors).
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
18
TIME WARNER CABLE INC.
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION(Continued)
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.
In connection with the issuance of the Debt Securities, on April 9, 2007, the Company, the
Guarantors and the initial purchasers of the 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 Debt Securities within 270 days after the issuance date of the Debt Securities or cause a shelf
registration statement covering the resale of the Debt Securities to be declared effective within
specified periods. The Company will be required to pay additional interest of 0.25% per annum on
the Debt Securities if it fails to timely comply with its obligations under the Registration Rights
Agreement until such time as it complies. On June 7, 2007, the Company and the Guarantors filed
with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-4 covering a registered exchange offer for the Debt
Securities. The registration statement is not yet effective.
Bank Credit Agreements and Commercial Paper Programs
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 as of June 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 as of June 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.
19
TIME WARNER CABLE INC.
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION(Continued)
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 as of June 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 June 30, 2007, TWC
was in compliance with the leverage covenant, with a leverage ratio, calculated in accordance with
the agreements, of approximately 2.6 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 of June 30, 2007, there were borrowings of $3.045 billion outstanding under the Five-Year
Term Facility, letters of credit totaling $159 million outstanding under the Cable Revolving
Facility, and $2.515 billion of commercial paper outstanding under the CP Program and supported by
the Cable Revolving Facility. TWCs available committed capacity under the Cable Revolving Facility
as of June 30, 2007 was approximately $3.327 billion, and TWC had $70 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 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 in timely making known to them material
information relating to the Company and the Companys consolidated subsidiaries required to be
disclosed in the Companys reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
On July 31, 2006, the Company acquired certain cable systems from Adelphia and Comcast and, as
a result, is integrating the processes, systems and controls relating to the acquired cable systems
into the Companys existing system of internal control over financial reporting. The Company has
continued to integrate into its control structure many of the processes, systems and controls
relating to the acquired cable systems in accordance with its integration plans. In addition,
various transitional controls designed to supplement existing internal controls have been
implemented with respect to the acquired systems. Except for the processes, systems and controls
relating to the integration of the acquired cable systems at the Company, there have not been any
changes in the Companys internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June
30, 2007 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal
control over financial reporting.

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS 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. At June 30, 2007, TWC had approximately 13.4 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 June
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. TWC continues to increase video revenues through the offering of advanced digital video
services such as video-on-demand (VOD), subscription-video-on-demand (SVOD), high definition
television (HDTV) and set-top boxes equipped with digital video recorders (DVRs), as well as
through price increases and 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 June 30, 2007, TWC had approximately 7.2 million residential
high-speed data subscribers. TWC also offers commercial high-speed data services and had
approximately 263,000 commercial high-speed data subscribers as of June 30, 2007.
Approximately 2.3 million subscribers received Digital Phone service, TWCs voice service, as
of June 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 is also
currently deploying lower-priced calling plans to serve those customers that do not use interstate
and/or long-distance calling plans extensively and intends to offer additional plans with a variety
of calling options 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 and will continue
to roll out this service during the remainder of 2007 in most of the systems TWC owned before and
retained after the transactions with Adelphia and Comcast (the Legacy Systems). TWC is also
introducing this service in some of the systems acquired in and retained after the transactions
with Adelphia and Comcast (the Acquired Systems).

TIME WARNER CABLE INC.
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. In 2006, TWC began offering under the Pivot
brand name a bundle that includes Sprint wireless service (with some unique TWC features) in
limited operating areas and TWC will continue to roll out this service during the remainder of
2007.
Some of TWCs principal competitors, in particular, direct broadcast satellite operators and
incumbent local telephone companies, 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 are aggressively seeking to offer them in
bundles similar to TWCs.
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 is in the midst of 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 largely
complete by the end of 2007. As of June 30, 2007, Digital Phone was available to over 40% of the
homes passed in the Acquired Systems.
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 of TWC include 100% of the assets, liabilities,
revenues, expenses, income, loss and cash flows of 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
transactions between the consolidated companies have been eliminated.

TIME WARNER CABLE INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
(Unaudited)
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 consolidated 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, pensions, stock-based compensation, income
taxes, nonmonetary transactions, 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 June 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
diluted income per common share before discontinued operations and cumulative effect of accounting
change (in millions, except per share data):

TIME WARNER CABLE INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
(Unaudited)
Stock-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
the 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 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 stock-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 stock-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis (net of estimated forfeitures)
over the employee service period. Stock-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 made its first grant of 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.
30
TIME WARNER CABLE INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
(Unaudited)
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 in April 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 $220 million and $150 million during the six months
ended June 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 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 six months
ended June 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 only 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. Changes in the reserve balance during the
six months ended June 30, 2007 were not material. The Company does not presently anticipate such
uncertain income tax positions will significantly increase or decrease prior to June 30, 2008;
however, actual developments in this area could differ from those currently expected. Such
unrecognized tax positions, if ever recognized in
31
TIME WARNER CABLE INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
(Unaudited)
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 six months
ended June 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 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 Cable Holding Inc. (TW NY Holding), a newly created subsidiary of
TWC and the parent of TW NY, in exchange for an approximately 12.4% 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. The purchase of the minority interests resulted in a reduction of goodwill
of $738 million related to the excess of the
32
TIME WARNER CABLE INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
(Unaudited)
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.
The tax benefits discussed above resulted primarily from the reversal of historical deferred
tax liabilities (included in noncurrent liabilities of discontinued operations) that had been
established 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 IRS 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.

Intangible assets and goodwill associated with the Adelphia Acquisition are

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, which
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, is
being finalized and the Company does not expect any material changes to the allocation reflected
above. 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), including the gains discussed above, have been reflected as
discontinued operations in the consolidated financial statements for all periods presented.

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 June 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 an approximately 12.4% 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 June 30, 2007,
approximately 91% 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, including 4%
of such shares that were placed in escrow in connection with the Adelphia Acquisition. 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 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 six months ended June 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

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 Notes), $2.0 billion principal amount of 5.85% Notes due
2017 (the 2017 Notes) and $1.5 billion principal amount of 6.55% Debentures due 2037 (the 2037
Debentures and, together with the 2012 Notes and the 2017 Notes, the Debt Securities) pursuant
to Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Debt Securities are
guaranteed by TWE and TW NY Holding (collectively, the Guarantors).
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.
In connection with the issuance of the Debt Securities, on April 9, 2007, the Company, the
Guarantors and the initial purchasers of the 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 Debt Securities within 270 days after the issuance date of the Debt Securities or cause a shelf
registration statement covering the resale of the Debt Securities to be declared effective within
specified periods. The Company will be required to pay additional interest of 0.25% per annum on
the Debt Securities if it fails to timely comply with its obligations under the Registration Rights
Agreement until such time as it complies. On June 7, 2007, the Company and the Guarantors filed
with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-4 covering a registered exchange offer for the Debt
Securities. The registration statement is not yet effective.

Bank Credit Agreements and Commercial Paper Programs
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 as of June 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 as of June 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 as of June 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 June 30,
2007, TWC was in compliance with the leverage covenant, with a leverage ratio, calculated in
accordance with the agreements, of approximately 2.6 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 of June 30, 2007, there were borrowings of $3.045 billion outstanding under the Five-Year
Term Facility, letters of credit totaling $159 million outstanding under the Cable Revolving
Facility, and $2.515 billion of commercial paper outstanding under the CP Program and supported by
the Cable Revolving Facility. TWCs available committed capacity under the Cable Revolving
Facility as of June 30, 2007 was approximately $3.327 billion, and TWC had $70 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.

6. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS
TWC Stock-based Compensation Plans
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 six
months ended June 30, 2007, TWC granted approximately 2.8 million options at a weighted-average
grant date fair value of $13.34 ($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 six months ended June 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 six months ended June 30, 2007, TWC
granted approximately 2.1 million RSUs at a weighted-average grant date fair value of $37.07 per
RSU.

Time Warner Stock-based Compensation 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
have been granted by Time Warner to
employees of TWC 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 six months ended June 30, 2006, Time Warner granted
approximately 8.7 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 six months ended June 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 six months ended June 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 six months ended June 30, 2006, Time Warner issued approximately 428,000 RSUs to
employees of TWC and its subsidiaries at a weighted-average grant date fair value of $17.40 per
RSU. For the six months ended June 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):

On August 1, 2007, the former employees of Adelphia and Comcast that became
employees of TWC became eligible to participate in the Pension Plans, which will result in
a new measurement of those plans as of that date. The impact of the new measurement of
these plans on pension expense will be determined based on market results at August 1,
2007 and will be reflected in the consolidated financial statements for the last five
months of 2007. The Company will also incur additional benefit costs for these
participants for the five months in 2007 in which they will be participating in the plans,
which are estimated to be approximately $9 million. |
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. For the Companys unfunded plan, contributions will continue to be made to the extent
benefits are paid. Expected benefit payments for the unfunded plan for 2007 are approximately $1
million.
8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Legal Proceedings
On May 20, 2006, the 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 will injure competition in the cable system and cable
network markets and violate the federal antitrust laws. The lawsuit seeks 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
44
TIME WARNER CABLE INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
(Unaudited)
ordering that America Channels efforts to enjoin the transaction can 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 has 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 has filed a notice of appeal
of this decision. 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 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 the 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 video-on-demand 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 the claim vigorously, but is
unable to predict the outcome of the 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 Internet-based telephony services. The
plaintiff is seeking unspecified monetary damages as well as injunctive relief. The Company
intends to defend against the
45

claim vigorously, but is unable to predict the outcome of the 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 Internet-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 Corporation (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, video-on-demand 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.
