MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
INTRODUCTION
Managements discussion and analysis of results of operations and financial condition (MD&A)
is provided as a supplement to the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes to help
provide an understanding of Time Warner Inc.s (Time Warner or the Company) financial
condition, cash flows and results of operations. MD&A is organized as follows:
|
|
|
Overview. This section provides a general description of Time Warners business
segments, as well as recent developments the Company believes are important in understanding
the results of operations and financial condition or in understanding anticipated future
trends. |
|
|
|
|
Results of operations. This section provides an analysis of the Companys results of
operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007. This analysis is presented on
both a consolidated and a business segment basis. In addition, a brief description is
provided of significant transactions and events that impact the comparability of the results
being analyzed. |
|
|
|
|
Financial condition and liquidity. This section provides an analysis of the Companys
financial condition as of June 30, 2007 and cash flows for the six months ended June 30,
2007. |
|
|
|
|
Caution concerning forward-looking statements. This section provides a description of
the use of forward-looking information appearing in this report, including in MD&A and the
consolidated financial statements. Such information is based on managements current
expectations about future events, which are inherently susceptible to uncertainty and
changes in circumstances. Refer to the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2006 (the 2006 Form 10-K) for a discussion of the risk factors
applicable to the Company. |
As discussed more fully in Note 1 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the
2006 financial information has been recast so that the basis of presentation is consistent with
that of the 2007 financial information. Specifically, amounts were recast to reflect the
retrospective presentation of certain businesses that were sold or that the Company has entered
into agreements to sell as discontinued operations.
Use of Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization
The Company utilizes Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization, among other
measures, to evaluate the performance of its businesses. Operating Income before Depreciation and
Amortization is considered an important indicator of the operational strength of the Companys
businesses and it provides an indication of the Companys ability to service debt and fund capital
expenditures. Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization eliminates the uneven effect
across all business segments of considerable amounts of noncash depreciation of tangible assets and
amortization of certain intangible assets that were recognized in business combinations. 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 businesses.
Management evaluates the investments in such tangible and intangible assets through other financial
measures, such as capital expenditure budgets, investment spending levels and return on capital.
Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization 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 operations) as well as other measures of financial performance reported in
accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). A reconciliation of
Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization to Operating Income is presented under
Results of Operations.

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION (Continued)
OVERVIEW
Time Warner is a leading media and entertainment company, whose major businesses encompass an
array of the most respected and successful media brands. Among the Companys brands are HBO, CNN,
AOL, People, Sports Illustrated, Time and Time Warner Cable. The Company produces and distributes
films through Warner Bros. and New Line Cinema, including Harry Potter and the Order of the
Phoenix, 300, Happy Feet and Oceans 13, as well as television programs, including ER, Two and a
Half Men, Cold Case and Without a Trace. During the six months ended June 30, 2007, the Company
generated revenues of $22.164 billion (up 8% from $20.599 billion in 2006), Operating Income before
Depreciation and Amortization of $6.640 billion (up 29% from $5.129 billion in 2006), Operating
Income of $4.476 billion (up 25% from $3.571 billion in 2006), Net Income of $2.270 billion (down
8% from $2.477 billion in 2006) and Cash Provided by Operations of $3.119 billion (down 25% from
$4.157 billion in 2006).
Time Warner Businesses
Time Warner classifies its operations into five reportable segments: AOL, Cable, Filmed
Entertainment, Networks and Publishing.
AOL. AOL LLC (together with its subsidiaries, AOL) is a leader in interactive services. In
the U.S. and internationally, AOL operates a leading network of web brands, offers free client
software and services to users who have their own Internet connection and provides services to
advertisers on the Internet. In addition, AOL operates one of the largest Internet access
subscription services in the United States. At June 30, 2007, AOL had 10.9 million AOL brand
subscribers in the U.S., which does not include registrations for the free AOL service. For the six
months ended June 30, 2007, AOL reported total revenues of $2.711 billion (12% of the Companys
overall revenues) and had $1.695 billion in Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization
and $1.444 billion in Operating Income, both of which included a pretax gain of approximately $670
million related to the sale of AOLs German access business.
Historically, AOLs primary product offering has been an online subscription service that
includes dial-up Internet access, and this product currently generates the majority of AOLs
revenues. AOL continued to experience significant declines in the first half of 2007 in the number
of its U.S. subscribers and related revenues, due primarily to AOLs decisions to focus on its
advertising business and offer most of its services (other than Internet access) for free, AOLs
reduction of subscriber acquisition and retention efforts, and the industry-wide decline of the
premium dial-up ISP business and growth in the broadband Internet access business. The decline in
subscribers has had an adverse impact on AOLs Subscription revenues. However, dial-up network
costs have also decreased and are anticipated to continue to decrease as subscribers decline. AOLs
Advertising revenues, in large part, are generated from the traffic to and usage of the AOL service
by AOLs subscribers. Therefore, the decline in subscribers also could have an adverse impact on
AOLs Advertising revenues to the extent that subscribers canceling their subscriptions do not
maintain their relationship with and usage of the AOL Network (as defined below).
AOLs strategy (as announced on August 2, 2006) is to transition from a business that has
relied heavily on Subscription revenues from dial-up subscribers to one that attracts and engages
more Internet users and takes advantage of the growth in online advertising. AOLs focus is on
growing its global web services business and managing costs in its access services business. A goal
of AOLs strategy is to maintain and expand relationships with current and former AOL subscribers,
whether they continue to purchase the dial-up Internet access subscription service or not. Another
component of the strategy is to permit access to most of the AOL services, including use of the AOL
client software and AOL e-mail accounts, without charge. Therefore, as long as an individual has a
means to connect to the Internet, that person can access and use most of the AOL services for free.
The components of this strategy primarily include the following:
|
|
|
providing advertising services domestically and internationally on the AOL Network and on
Internet sites of third-party entities (referred to as Partner Sites) through display
advertising and paid-search advertising; |
|
|
|
|
attracting highly-engaged users to and retaining those users on AOLs interactive
properties, including AIM, AOL.com, MapQuest and Moviefone, as well as attracting and
retaining former and current subscribers, by: |
|
|
|
offering compelling content, features and tools, including e-mail, instant
messaging and the AOL client software, which generally are available to Internet users
for free; and |
2
TIME WARNER INC.
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION (Continued)
|
|
|
implementing a cost-effective distribution strategy for its free and paid products
and services by entering into or maintaining relationships with computer manufacturers,
retailers, third-party high-speed Internet access providers, or other aggregators of
Internet activity, and search engine optimization and search engine marketing; |
|
|
|
providing paid services, including certain online safety and security products on a subscription basis; and |
|
|
|
|
providing software for mobile devices that will further the distribution of AOL products and services. |
The AOL Network consists of a variety of websites, related applications and services, and the
AOL and low-cost ISP services. Specifically, the AOL Network includes AOL.com, AIM, MapQuest,
Moviefone, ICQ and Netscape as well as other co-branded websites for which certain criteria have
been met, including that the Internet traffic has been assigned to AOL. Advertising services on
Partner Sites are provided primarily through AOLs wholly owned subsidiary, Advertising.com, but
also directly by AOL, and paid-search advertising activities on the AOL Network are conducted
primarily through AOLs strategic relationship with Google Inc.
(Google). Following the expansion of this
strategic alliance in April 2006, 95% of the equity interests in AOL are indirectly held by the
Company and 5% are indirectly held by Google.
Consistent with its strategy, in the second quarter of 2007, AOL acquired Third Screen Media,
Inc., a mobile advertising network and mobile ad-serving management platform provider, and a
controlling interest in ADTECH AG, an international online ad-serving company. In addition, as
noted under Recent Developments, in the third quarter of 2007, the Company entered into an
agreement to purchase TACODA, Inc. (TACODA), an online behavioral targeting advertising network.
In connection with its strategy, AOL undertook certain restructuring and related activities in
2006 and the first half of 2007, including involuntary employee terminations, contract
terminations, facility closures and asset write-offs. Additional restructuring and related
activities of this nature are anticipated during the remainder of 2007.
Cable. Time Warners cable business, Time Warner Cable Inc. and its subsidiaries (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. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, TWC delivered revenues of $7.865 billion
(35% of the Companys overall revenues), $2.751 billion in Operating Income before Depreciation and
Amortization and $1.290 billion in Operating Income.
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.
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 TWCs 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
3
TIME WARNER INC.
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION (Continued)
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 callings plan 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).
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.
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 TWCs bundled advanced
services in the Acquired Systems. In addition, due to various operational and competitive
challenges, TWC 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.
Filmed Entertainment. Time Warners Filmed Entertainment businesses, Warner Bros.
Entertainment Group (Warner Bros.) and New Line Cinema Corporation (New Line), generated
revenues of $4.996 billion (22% of the Companys
overall revenues), $506 million in Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization and
$324 million in Operating Income for the six months ended June 30,
2007. The Filmed Entertainment
segment experienced a decline in revenues and operating results for the six months ended June 30,
2007 due to difficult comparisons to the six months ended June 30, 2006.

TIME WARNER INC.
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION (Continued)
One of the worlds leading studios, Warner Bros. has diversified sources of revenues with its
film and television businesses, including an extensive film library and global distribution
infrastructure. This diversification has helped Warner Bros. deliver consistent long-term
performance. New Line is the worlds oldest independent film company. Its primary source of
revenues is the creation and distribution of theatrical motion pictures.
Warner Bros. continues to develop its industry-leading television business, including the
successful releases of television series on home video. Throughout the 2006-2007 television season,
Warner Bros. produced prime-time series for all five broadcast networks (including ER, Two and a
Half Men, Without a Trace, Cold Case, Smallville and Men In Trees), as well as original series for
cable networks (including The Closer and Nip/Tuck). For the 2007-2008 television season, Warner
Bros. anticipates having approximately 25 prime-time series across the five broadcast networks, as
well as original series for cable networks.
The sale of DVDs has been one of the largest drivers of the segments profit over the last
several years, and Warner Bros. extensive library of theatrical and television titles positions it
to continue to benefit from sales of home video product to consumers. However, the industry and the
Company have experienced a leveling of DVD sales due to several factors, including increasing
competition for consumer discretionary spending, piracy, the maturation of the standard definition
DVD format and the fragmentation of consumer time.
Piracy, including physical piracy as well as illegal online file-sharing, continues to be a
significant issue for the filmed entertainment industry. Due to technological advances, piracy has
expanded from music to movies and television programming. The Company has taken a variety of
actions to combat piracy over the last several years, including the launch of new services for
consumers at competitive price points, aggressive online and customs enforcement, compressed
release windows and educational campaigns, and will continue to do so, both individually and
together with cross-industry groups, trade associations and strategic partners.
Networks. Time Warners Networks segment comprises Turner Broadcasting System, Inc.
(Turner) and Home Box Office, Inc. (HBO). On September 17, 2006, Warner Bros. and CBS Corp.
(CBS) ceased the stand-alone operations of The WB Network and UPN, respectively, and formed The
CW, an equity method investee of the Company. The Networks segment results included the operations
of The WB Network through the date of its shutdown on September 17, 2006. For the six months ended
June 30, 2007, the Networks segment delivered revenues of $5.011 billion (21% of the Companys
overall revenues), $1.649 billion in Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization and
$1.494 billion in Operating Income.
The Turner networks including such recognized brands as TNT, TBS, CNN, Cartoon Network and
CNN Headline News are among the leaders in advertising-supported cable TV networks. For five
consecutive years, more prime-time viewers have watched advertising-supported cable TV networks
than the national broadcast networks. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, TNT ranked first
among advertising-supported cable networks in total-day delivery of its key demographics, Adults
18-49 and Adults 25-54 and in prime-time delivery ranked second for Adults 18-49 and Adults 25-54.
TBS ranked second among advertising-supported cable networks in prime-time delivery of its key
demographic, Adults 18-34.
The Turner networks generate revenues principally from the sale of advertising time and
monthly subscriber fees paid by cable system operators, direct-to-home satellite operators and
other affiliates. Key contributors to Turners success are its continued investments in
high-quality programming focused on sports, network movie premieres, licensed and original series,
news and animation, leading to strong ratings and Advertising and Subscription revenue growth, as
well as strong brands and operating efficiency.
HBO operates the HBO and Cinemax multichannel pay television programming services, with the
HBO service ranking as the nations most widely distributed pay television network. HBO generates
revenues principally from monthly
subscriber fees from cable system operators, direct-to-home satellite operators and other
affiliates. An additional source of revenue is the ancillary sales of its original programming,
including The Sopranos, Sex and the City, Rome and Entourage.
Publishing. Time Warners Publishing segment consists principally of magazine publishing and
a number of direct-marketing and direct-selling businesses. The segment generated revenues of
$2.301 billion (10% of the Companys overall
5
TIME WARNER INC.
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION (Continued)
revenues), $386 million in Operating Income before
Depreciation and Amortization and $294 million in Operating Income for the six months ended June
30, 2007.
As of June 30, 2007, Time Inc. published over 125 magazines globally, including People, Sports
Illustrated, In Style, Southern Living, Real Simple, Entertainment Weekly, Time, Cooking Light and
Fortune. It generates revenues primarily from advertising, magazine subscriptions and newsstand
sales, and its growth is derived from higher circulation and advertising on existing magazines, new
magazine launches, acquisitions and advertising from digital properties. Time Inc. owns IPC Media,
the U.K.s largest magazine company (IPC), and the magazine subscription marketer Synapse Group,
Inc. The Companys Publishing segment has experienced sluggish print advertising sales as
advertisers are shifting advertising expenditures to digital media. As a result, Time Inc.
continues to invest in developing digital content, including the launch of MyRecipes.com, increased
functionality for CNNMoney.com, the expansion of Sports Illustrateds digital properties and the
launch of various digital sites in the U.K. by IPC. Time Inc.s direct-selling division, Southern
Living At Home, sells home decor products through independent consultants at parties hosted in
peoples homes throughout the U.S.
On March 3, 2007, the Company sold its Parenting Group and most of the Time4 Media magazine
titles, consisting of 18 of Time Inc.s smaller niche magazines, to a subsidiary of Bonnier AB, a
Swedish media company (Bonnier). Refer to Recent Developments for further discussion.
Recent Developments
Common Stock Repurchase Program
In July 2005, Time Warners Board of Directors authorized a common stock repurchase program
that, as amended over time, allowed the Company to purchase up to an aggregate of $20 billion of
common stock during the period from July 29, 2005 through December 31, 2007. As of June 30, 2007,
the Company completed this common stock repurchase program, having repurchased approximately
1.1 billion shares of common stock from the programs inception through such date.
On July 26, 2007, Time Warners Board of Directors authorized a new common stock repurchase
program that allows the Company to purchase, from time to time, up to an aggregate of $5 billion of
common stock. Purchases under this new stock repurchase program may be made from time to time on
the open market and in privately negotiated transactions. Size and timing of these purchases are
based on a number of factors, including price and business and market
conditions (Note 6).
Transaction with Liberty
On May 16, 2007, the Company completed a transaction in which Liberty Media Corporation
(Liberty) exchanged 68.5 million shares of Time Warner common stock for the stock of a subsidiary
of Time Warner that owned assets including the Atlanta Braves baseball franchise (the Braves) and
Leisure Arts, Inc. (Leisure Arts) (at a fair value of $473 million) and $960 million of cash
(collectively, the Liberty Transaction). Included in the 68.5 million shares of Time Warner
common stock are 4 million shares expected to be delivered to the Company upon the resolution of a
working capital adjustment that is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2007. The 4
million shares have a value of $83 million and have been reflected as common stock due from Liberty
in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2007. In the second quarter of 2007, the
Company recorded a pretax gain of $72 million on the sale of the Braves, which is net of
indemnification obligations valued at $60 million. The Company has agreed to indemnify Liberty for,
among other things, increases in the amount due by the Braves under Major League Baseballs revenue
sharing rules from expected amounts for fiscal years 2007 to 2027, to the extent attributable to
local broadcast and other contracts in place prior to the Liberty Transaction. The Liberty
Transaction was designed to qualify as a tax-free split-off under Section 355 of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and, as a result, the historical deferred tax liabilities of $83
million associated with the Braves were no longer required. In the first quarter of 2007, the
Company recorded an impairment
charge of $13 million on its investment in Leisure Arts. The results of operations of the
Braves and Leisure Arts have been reflected as discontinued operations for all periods presented
(Note 3).

TACODA
On July 23, 2007, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase TACODA, an online
behavioral targeting advertising network, for approximately $275 million in cash. The transaction,
which is subject to customary closing conditions, is expected to close in the third quarter of 2007
(Note 3).
Texas/Kansas City Cable Joint Venture
TKCCP was a 50-50 joint venture between a consolidated subsidiary of TWC (Time Warner
Entertainment-Advance/Newhouse Partnership (TWE-A/N)) and Comcast. On January 1, 2007, TKCCP
distributed its assets to TWC and Comcast. TWC received the Kansas City Pool, which served
approximately 788,000 basic video subscribers as of December 31, 2006, and Comcast received the
pool of assets consisting of the Houston cable systems (the Houston Pool), which served
approximately 795,000 basic video subscribers as of December 31, 2006. TWC began consolidating the
results of the Kansas City Pool on January 1, 2007. TKCCP was formally dissolved on May 15, 2007.
For accounting purposes, the Company has treated the distribution of TKCCPs assets as a sale of
the Companys 50% equity interest in the Houston Pool and as an acquisition of Comcasts 50% equity
interest in the Kansas City Pool. As a result of the sale of the Companys 50% equity interest in
the Houston Pool, the Company recorded a pretax gain of approximately $146 million in the first
quarter of 2007, which is included as a component of other income, net in the accompanying
consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2007 (Note 2).
Bookspan
On April 9, 2007, the Company sold its 50% interest in Bookspan, a joint venture accounted for
as an equity method investment that primarily owns and operates book clubs via direct mail and
e-commerce, to a subsidiary of Bertelsmann AG (Bertelsmann) for a purchase price of $145 million,
which resulted in a pretax gain of approximately $100 million (Note 3).
Parenting and Time4 Media
On March 3, 2007, the Company sold its Parenting Group and most of the Time4 Media magazine
titles, consisting of 18 of Time Inc.s smaller niche magazines, to a subsidiary of Bonnier for
approximately $220 million, which resulted in a pretax gain of approximately $54 million. The
results of operations of the Parenting Group and Time4 Media magazine titles that were sold have
been reflected as discontinued operations for all periods presented (Note 3).
Sales of AOLs European Access Businesses
On February 28, 2007, the Company completed the sale of AOLs German access business to
Telecom Italia S.p.A. for $850 million in cash, resulting in a pretax gain of approximately $670
million. In connection with this sale, the Company entered into a separate agreement to provide
ongoing web services, including content, e-mail and other online tools and services to Telecom
Italia S.p.A. As a result of the historical interdependency of AOLs European access and audience
businesses, the historical cash flows and operations of the access and audience businesses were not
clearly distinguishable. Accordingly, AOLs German access business and its other European access
businesses, which were sold in 2006, have not been reflected as discontinued operations in the
accompanying consolidated financial statements (Note 3).
Divestitures of Certain Non-Core AOL Wireless Businesses
On June 21, 2007, the Company announced an agreement to sell Tegic Communications, Inc.
(Tegic), a wholly owned subsidiary of AOL, to Nuance Communications, Inc. (Nuance) for
approximately $265 million in cash. This transaction, which is subject to customary closing
conditions, is expected to close in the third quarter of 2007. The Company expects to record a
pretax gain on this sale ranging from approximately $160 million to $190 million. In addition, in
the second quarter of 2007, the Company agreed to transfer the assets of Wildseed LLC (Wildseed),
a wholly owned subsidiary of AOL, to a third party. The Company recorded a pretax charge of
approximately $7 million related to this divestiture in the second quarter of 2007 and an
impairment charge of approximately $18 million on the long-lived assets of Wildseed in the first
quarter of 2007. The results of operations of both Tegic and Wildseed have been reflected as
discontinued operations for all periods presented (Note 3).

Claxson
On December 14, 2006, Turner announced an agreement with Claxson Interactive Group, Inc.
(Claxson) to purchase seven pay television networks operating in Latin America for approximately
$235 million (net of cash acquired). The transaction, which is subject to customary closing
conditions, is expected to close in the second half of 2007 (Note 3).
Transactions with Adelphia and Comcast
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
Adelphia/Comcast Transactions). The results of the systems acquired in connection with the
Adelphia/Comcast Transactions have been included in the accompanying consolidated statement of
operations since the closing of the transactions. As a result of the closing of the
Adelphia/Comcast Transactions, TWC acquired systems with approximately 4.0 million basic video
subscribers and disposed of systems with approximately 0.8 million basic video subscribers
previously owned by TWC that were transferred to Comcast in connection with the Redemptions and the
Exchange for a net gain of approximately 3.2 million basic video subscribers.
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, the 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. On March 1, 2007, TWCs
Class A common stock began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol TWC. As of
June 30, 2007, Time Warner owned approximately 84% of TWCs outstanding common stock (Note 2).
Amounts Related to Securities Litigation
During the first and second quarters of 2007, the Company reached agreements to settle
substantially all of the remaining securities litigation claims, a substantial portion of which had
been reserved for at December 31, 2006. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, the
Company recorded charges of approximately $1 million and $153 million, respectively, for these
settlements. At June 30, 2007, the Companys remaining reserve related to these matters is
approximately $17 million, including approximately $8 million that has been reserved for an
expected attorneys fee award related to a previously settled matter. The Company believes the
potential exposure in the securities litigation matters that remain pending at June 30, 2007 to be
de minimis.
The Company recognizes insurance recoveries when it becomes probable that such amounts will be
received. The Company recognized insurance recoveries related to Employee Retirement Income
Security Act (ERISA) matters of approximately $1 million and $9 million for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2007, respectively, and approximately $3 million and $53 million for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively (Note 1).

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Changes in Basis of Presentation
Discontinued Operations
As discussed more fully in Note 1 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the
2006 financial information has been recast so that the basis of presentation is consistent with
that of the 2007 financial information. Specifically, the Company has reflected as discontinued
operations for all periods presented the financial condition and results of operations of certain
businesses sold during the first six months of 2007, which include the Parenting Group, most of the
Time4 Media magazine titles, The Progressive Farmer magazine, Leisure Arts and the Braves, as well
as certain businesses the Company entered into agreements to sell during the first six months
of 2007, which include Tegic and Wildseed.
Consolidation of Kansas City Pool
On January 1, 2007, the Company began consolidating the results of the Kansas City Pool it
received upon the distribution of the assets of TKCCP to TWC and Comcast.
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 an increase to accumulated deficit of approximately
$97 million (approximately $59 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
approximately $445 million of tax benefits for positions that were previously unrecognized, of
which approximately $433 million was accounted for as a reduction to the accumulated deficit
balance and approximately $12 million was accounted for as an increase to the paid-in-capital
balance as of January 1, 2007. Additionally, the adoption of FIN 48 resulted in the recognition of
additional tax reserves for positions where there is uncertainty about the timing or character of
such deductibility. These additional reserves were largely offset by increased deferred tax assets
(Note 1).
Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Split-Dollar Life
Insurance Arrangements
The EITF has reached consensuses on EITF Issue No. 06-10, Deferred Compensation and
Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Collateral Assignment Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements
(EITF 06-10), and EITF Issue No. 06-04, Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefits Aspects
of Endorsement Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements (EITF 06-04), which require that a
company recognize a liability for the postretirement benefits associated with endorsement and
collateral assignment split-dollar life insurance arrangements. The provisions of EITF 06-10 and
EITF 06-04 will be effective for Time Warner as of January 1, 2008 and will impact the Company in
instances where the Company has contractually agreed to maintain a life insurance policy (i.e., the
Company pays the premiums) for an employee in

periods in which the employee is no longer providing services. The provisions of EITF 06-10
and EITF 06-04 are not expected to have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial
statements.

The increase in Subscription revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 was
primarily related to increases at the Cable and Networks segments, offset partially by a decline at
the AOL segment. The increase at the Cable segment was driven by 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, high-speed data and Digital Phone
subscriber levels in the Legacy Systems. The increase at the Networks segment was due primarily to
higher subscription rates and, to a lesser extent, an increase in the number of subscribers at
Turner. The decline in Subscription revenues at the AOL segment resulted from decreases in the
number of AOL brand domestic subscribers and related revenues as a result of AOLs revised
strategy, as well as the sales of AOLs European access businesses in the fourth quarter of 2006
and first quarter of 2007.
The increase in Advertising revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 was
primarily due to growth at the AOL and Cable segments, offset partially by a decline at the
Networks segment. The increase at the AOL segment was due to growth in Advertising revenues on both
the AOL Network and on Partner Sites. The increase at the Cable segment was primarily attributable
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. The decline at the Networks segment was primarily driven by
the impact of the shutdown of The WB Network on September 17, 2006, partially offset by higher
Advertising revenues across Turners primary networks.
Each of the revenue categories is discussed in greater detail by segment in Business Segment
Results.
Costs of Revenues. For the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, costs of revenues
totaled $6.417 billion and $5.814 billion, respectively, and as a percentage of revenues were 58%
and 56%, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, costs of revenues totaled
$12.913 billion and $11.491 billion, respectively, and as a percentage of revenues were 58% and
56%, respectively. The increase in costs of revenues as a percentage of revenues for the three and
six months ended June 30, 2007 was primarily attributable to increases at the Cable segment,
primarily related to the Acquired Systems and the consolidation of the Kansas City Pool, and at the
Filmed Entertainment segment, primarily reflecting the change in the quantity and mix of products
released, partially offset by a decline at the AOL segment, primarily reflecting a shift to
Advertising revenues, which have higher margins. The segment variations are discussed in detail in
Business Segment Results.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. For the three months ended June 30, 2007,
selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 6% to $2.397 billion in 2007 from $2.555
billion in 2006. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, selling, general and administrative
expenses decreased 6% to $4.806 billion in 2007 from $5.110 billion in 2006. The decrease in
selling, general and administrative expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007
related primarily to a significant decline at the AOL segment, substantially due to reduced
subscriber acquisition marketing as part of AOLs revised strategy, partially offset by an increase
at the Cable segment related to the Acquired Systems and the consolidation of the Kansas City Pool.
The segment variations are discussed in detail in Business Segment Results.

Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization. Operating Income before Depreciation
and Amortization increased 20% to $3.022 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2007 from
$2.511 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2006. Excluding the items previously noted under
Significant Transactions and Other Items Affecting Comparability totaling $39 million and $32
million of expense, net for 2007 and 2006, respectively, Operating Income before Depreciation and
Amortization increased $518 million, principally as a result of growth at the Cable, Networks and
Publishing segments, partially offset by declines at the AOL and Filmed Entertainment segments.
Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization increased 29% to $6.640 billion for the
six months ended June 30, 2007 from $5.129 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2006.
Excluding the items previously noted under Significant Transactions and Other Items Affecting
Comparability totaling $467 million of income, net and $39 million of expense, net for 2007 and
2006, respectively, Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization increased $1.005 billion,
principally as a result of growth at the AOL, Cable and Networks segments, partially offset by a
decline at the Filmed Entertainment segment.
The segment variations are discussed in detail under Business Segment Results.
Depreciation Expense. Depreciation expense increased to $928 million and $1.829 billion for
the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively, from $653 million and $1.302 billion
for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively. The increase in depreciation
expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 primarily related to an
13
TIME WARNER INC.
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION (Continued)
increase at the Cable segment reflecting 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 to $158 million and $335 million for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively, from $127 million and $256 million for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively. The increase in amortization expense for
the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 primarily related to the Cable segment and was driven
by the amortization of intangible assets related to customer relationships associated with the
Acquired Systems. This was partially offset by a decrease due to the absence during the second 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 to $1.936 billion for the three months ended
June 30, 2007 from $1.731 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2006. Excluding the items
previously noted under Significant Transactions and Other Items Affecting Comparability totaling
$39 million and $32 million of expense, net for 2007 and 2006, respectively, Operating Income
increased $212 million, reflecting the changes in Operating Income before Depreciation and
Amortization, offset partially by the increases in both depreciation and amortization expense noted
above.
Operating Income increased to $4.476 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2007 from
$3.571 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2006. Excluding the items previously noted under
Significant Transactions and Other Items Affecting Comparability totaling $467 million of income,
net and $39 million of expense, net for 2007 and 2006, respectively, Operating Income increased
$399 million, reflecting the changes in Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization,
offset partially by the increases in both depreciation and amortization expense noted above.
Interest Expense, Net. Interest expense, net, increased to $574 million and $1.125 billion
for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively, from $336 million and $635 million
for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively. The increase in interest expense,
net is primarily due to higher average outstanding balances of borrowings as a result of the
Companys stock repurchase program and the Adelphia/Comcast Transactions, higher interest rates on
borrowings and lower interest income related primarily to a smaller amount of short-term
investments.
Other Income, Net. Other income, net, detail is shown in the table below (millions):

The changes in investment gains, net are discussed under Significant Transactions and Other
Items Affecting Comparability. Excluding the impact of investment gains, other income, net,
decreased primarily due to lower income from equity method investees and higher foreign exchange
losses. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, the decrease in equity income primarily
reflects the absence of equity income during these periods due to the Company no longer treating
TKCCP as an equity method investment.
Minority Interest Expense, Net. Time Warner had $91 million and $221 million of minority
interest expense, net for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively, compared to
$105 million and $176 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively. The
decrease for the three months ended June 30, 2007 primarily related to the change in the ownership
structure at the Cable segment as a result of the Adelphia/Comcast Transactions, partially offset
by larger profits recorded at the Cable segment. The increase for the six months ended June 30,
2007 related primarily to the 5% minority interest in AOL issued to Google in the second quarter of
2006 and reflected the gain recognized by AOL on the sale of its German access business, and to
larger profits recorded by the Cable segment, including the gain on the deemed sale of the Houston
Pool in connection with the TKCCP asset distribution, partially offset by the change in the
ownership structure at the Cable segment. Comcast held an effective 21% minority interest in TWC

OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION (Continued)
until the closing of the Adelphia/Comcast Transactions on July 31, 2006, upon which Comcasts
interest in TWC was redeemed and Adelphia received an approximate 16% minority interest in TWC.
Income Tax Provision. Income tax expense from continuing operations was $434 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $505 million for the three months ended June 20, 2006
and was $1.231 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $1.103 billion for the
six months ended June 30, 2006. The Companys effective tax rate for continuing operations was 31%
and 37% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively, compared to 38% and 35% for
the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively. The decrease for the three months ended
June 30, 2007 is primarily attributable to the realization of tax attribute carryovers in
connection with the sale of the Companys interest in Bookspan. The increase for the six months
ended June 30, 2007 is primarily attributable to the impact of nondeductible goodwill associated
with the sale of AOLs German access business.
Income before Discontinued Operations and Cumulative Effect of Accounting Change. Income
before discontinued operations and cumulative effect of accounting change was $945 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $832 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006.
Basic and diluted net income per share before discontinued operations and cumulative effect of
accounting change were both $0.25 in 2007 compared to $0.20 for both in 2006. Excluding the items
previously noted under Significant Transactions and Other Items Affecting Comparability totaling
$118 million and $3 million of income, net for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006,
respectively, income before discontinued operations and cumulative effect of accounting change
decreased by $2 million, primarily reflecting the dilutive effect of the Adelphia/Comcast
Transactions, which resulted in higher depreciation, amortization and interest expense, and the
Companys common stock repurchase program, which resulted in higher interest expense, partially
offset by higher Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization and higher other income,
net, as noted above. Basic and diluted net income per share
before discontinued operations and cumulative effect of accounting
change for the three months ended June 30, 2007 reflect the
favorable impact of the shares repurchased under the $20 billion
stock repurchase program.
Income before discontinued operations and cumulative effect of accounting change was $2.132
billion for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $2.015 billion for the six months ended
June 30, 2006. Basic and diluted net income per share before discontinued operations and cumulative
effect of accounting change were $0.56 and $0.55, respectively, in 2007 compared to $0.46 for both
in 2006. Excluding the items previously noted under Significant Transactions and Other Items
Affecting Comparability totaling $443 million and $279 million of income, net for the six months
ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, income before discontinued operations and cumulative
effect of accounting change decreased by $47 million, primarily reflecting the dilutive effect of
the Adelphia/Comcast Transactions, which resulted in higher depreciation, amortization and interest
expense, the Companys common stock repurchase program, which resulted in higher interest expense,
and higher minority interest expense, net, partially offset by higher Operating Income before
Depreciation and Amortization, as noted above. Basic and diluted net
income per share before discontinued operations and cumulative
effect of accounting change for the six months ended
June 30, 2007 reflect the favorable impact of the shares
repurchased under the $20 billion stock repurchase program.
Discontinued Operations. Discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 30,
2007 and 2006 reflect certain businesses sold, which include the Parenting Group, most of the Time4
Media magazine titles, The Progressive Farmer magazine, Leisure Arts and the Braves, as well as
certain businesses the Company entered into agreements to sell, which include Tegic and
Wildseed. Also included in discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006
are the operations of the systems transferred to Comcast in connection with the Redemptions and the
Exchange, the Turner South network and Time Warner Book Group (TWBG).
Included in discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 was a
pretax gain of approximately $72 million and a related tax benefit of approximately $82 million on
the sale of the Braves. In addition, discontinued operations for the six months ended June 30, 2007
included a pretax gain of approximately $54 million and a related tax benefit of approximately $2
million on the sale of the Parenting Group and most of the Time4 Media magazine titles, an
impairment of approximately $18 million on AOLs long-lived assets associated with Wildseed and an
impairment of approximately $13 million on the Companys investment in Leisure Arts. For the three
months ended June 30, 2007, the tax benefit on the pretax gains resulted primarily from the
reversal of certain deferred tax liabilities in connection with the Liberty Transaction. The
Liberty Transaction was designed to qualify as a tax-free split-off under Section 355 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and, as a result, the historical deferred tax
liabilities associated with the Braves were no longer required. For the six months ended June 30,
2007, the tax benefit on the pretax gains resulted primarily from the reversal of the deferred tax
liabilities in connection with the Liberty Transaction and the recognition of deferred tax assets
associated with the sale of the magazine titles in the first quarter
of 2007. In addition, for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2007, the Company incurred an additional $17 million accrual
related to changes in estimates of Warner Music Group
15
TIME WARNER INC.
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION (Continued)
indemnification
liabilities. For the six months ended
June 30, 2007, payments of $26 million were made related to
Warner Music Group indemnification liabilities previously established
and are disclosed on the
Companys accompanying consolidated statement of cash flows as Investment activities of
discontinued operations. These indemnification liabilities were accrued for in prior years.
Included in the results for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2006, was a pretax gain of
approximately $129 million and a tax benefit of approximately $21 million related to the sale of
Turner South. In addition, the results for the six months ended
June 30, 2006, included a pretax
gain of approximately $194 million and a related tax benefit of approximately $28 million on the
sale of TWBG. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, the tax benefit on the sales of
Turner South and TWBG resulted primarily from the release of a valuation allowance associated with
tax attribute carryforwards offsetting the gains on these transactions.
Cumulative Effect of Accounting Change, Net of Tax. For the six months ended June 30, 2006,
the Company recorded a benefit of $25 million, net of tax, as the cumulative effect of a change in
accounting principle upon the adoption of FASB Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based
Payment (FAS 123R) in 2006, to recognize the effect of estimating
the number of awards granted prior to January 1, 2006 that are not ultimately expected to vest.
Net Income and Net Income Per Common Share. Net income was $1.067 billion for the three
months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $1.014 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2006.
Basic and diluted net income per common share were both $0.28 in 2007 compared to $0.24 for both in
2006. Net income was $2.270 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $2.477
billion for the six months ended June 30, 2006. Basic and diluted net income per common share were
$0.60 and $0.59, respectively, in 2007 compared to $0.57 and $0.56, respectively, in 2006. Net
income per common share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 reflect the
favorable impact of the shares repurchased under the $20 billion stock repurchase program.

The decline in Subscription revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007
compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 was due to decreases in the number of AOL
brand domestic subscribers and related revenues as a result of AOLs revised strategy, as well as
the sales of AOLs European access businesses (for which Subscription revenues declined by
approximately $400 million and $700 million for the three and six months, respectively) in the
fourth quarter of 2006 and first quarter of 2007.

OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION (Continued)
The number of AOL brand domestic subscribers was 10.9 million, 12.0 million, and 17.7 million
as of June 30, 2007, March 31, 2007 and June 30, 2006, respectively. The AOL brand domestic average
revenue per subscriber (ARPU) was $18.59 and $19.42 for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and
2006, respectively, and $18.78 and $18.92 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006,
respectively. AOL includes in its subscriber numbers individuals, households and entities that have
provided billing information and completed the registration process sufficiently to allow for an
initial log-on to the AOL service. Subscribers to the AOL brand service include subscribers
participating in introductory free-trial periods and subscribers that are paying no or reduced
monthly fees through member service and retention programs. Total AOL brand subscribers include
free-trial and retention members of approximately 3% at June 30, 2007, 4% at March 31, 2007 and 8%
at June 30, 2006. Individuals who have registered for the free AOL service, including subscribers
who have migrated from paid subscription plans, are not included in the AOL brand subscriber
numbers presented above. As previously noted, due to the sales of AOLs access businesses in the
U.K., Germany and France, AOL no longer has AOL brand Internet access subscribers in Europe,
although the purchasers of AOLs European access businesses have certain rights to use specific AOL
brands for a period of time.
The decreases in subscribers are the result of a number of factors, including the effects of
AOLs strategy, which has resulted in the migration of subscribers to the free AOL service
offering, declining registrations for the paid service in response to AOLs reduced marketing and
retention campaigns, and competition from broadband access providers. The decreases in ARPU for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the similar periods in the prior year were due
primarily to a shift in the subscriber mix to lower-priced subscriber price plans, partially offset
by an increase in the percentage of revenue generating customers and, for the six months ended June
30, 2007, due to a price increase implemented late in the first quarter of 2006.
In addition to the AOL brand service, AOL has subscribers to other services, both domestically
and internationally, including the Netscape and CompuServe brands. These other brand services are
not significant sources of revenues.
Advertising services include display advertising and paid-search advertising, both
domestically and internationally, which are provided on both the AOL Network and on Partner Sites.
Total Advertising revenues improved for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to
the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 due to increased Advertising revenues generated on
both the AOL Network and on Partner Sites as follows (millions):

The increases in display Advertising revenues were primarily attributable to increased
inventory sold as well as operational improvements, offset partially by pricing declines and shifts
in the mix of inventory sold from higher-priced inventory to lower-priced inventory. In addition,
display Advertising revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2007 included a benefit of
approximately $19 million related to a change in an accounting estimate resulting from more timely
system data. The increases in paid-search Advertising revenues, which are generated primarily
through AOLs strategic relationship with Google, were attributable primarily to both higher
revenues per search query and increases in search query volume on certain AOL Network properties.
The increase in Advertising revenues on Partner Sites is partly attributable to the expansion
of a relationship with a major customer in the second quarter of 2006. The revenues associated with
this relationship increased $12 million to $48 million and $58 million to $104 million for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively, compared to the three and six months ended
June 30, 2006. Continued growth in revenues from other advertisers also contributed to the growth
in Advertising revenues on Partner Sites.
17
TIME WARNER INC.
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION (Continued)
Total Advertising revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2007 declined $27 million from
the three months ended March 31, 2007, primarily due to the absence of a $19 million benefit
recognized in the first quarter of 2007 related to a change in an accounting estimate resulting
from more timely system data.
AOL expects Advertising revenues to continue to increase during the remainder of 2007 as
compared to the similar period in 2006 due to expected increases in display and paid-search
advertising on the AOL Network and expected increases in sales of advertising run on Partner Sites.
However, total Advertising revenues are expected to increase at a rate less than that experienced
in the first half of 2007 and more in line with the growth rate achieved in the second quarter of
2007.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, costs of revenues decreased 43% and 39%,
respectively, and as a percentage of revenues were 43% for both the three and six months ended June
30, 2007 compared to 47% for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2006. For the three and
six months ended June 30, 2007, approximately $270 million and $470 million, respectively, of the
decrease in costs of revenues were attributable to the sales of AOLs European access businesses.
The remaining decreases for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 were attributable to lower
network-related expenses and lower customer service expenses associated with the closure of
customer support call centers, partially offset by increases in traffic acquisition costs
associated with advertising run on Partner Sites. Network-related expenses decreased 79% to $67
million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 from $315 million for the three months ended June
30, 2006 and decreased 74% to $165 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 from $633 million
for the six months ended June 30, 2006. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007,
approximately $180 million and $330 million, respectively, of the decreases were attributable to
the sales of AOLs European access businesses. The remaining declines in network-related expenses
for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 were principally attributable to lower usage of
AOLs dial-up network associated with the declining AOL brand domestic dial-up subscriber base,
improved pricing and network utilization and decreased levels of long-term fixed commitments.
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 61% to $225 million and 57% to $497
million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively, of which approximately $110
million and $190 million, respectively, were attributable to the sales of AOLs European access
businesses. The remaining decreases in selling, general and administrative expenses for the three
and six months ended June 30, 2007 reflect a reduction in direct marketing costs of approximately
$170 million and $380 million, respectively, primarily due to reduced subscriber acquisition
marketing as part of AOLs revised strategy, and other cost savings initiatives. The three and six
months ended June 30, 2006 also included a $7 million charge related to America Online Latin
America, Inc.s bankruptcy resolution and the six months ended June 30, 2006 also benefited from
the reversal of previously established employee incentive compensation accruals that were no longer
required and an approximate $14 million benefit related to the favorable resolution of certain tax
matters.
As previously noted under Significant Transactions and Other Items Affecting Comparability,
the results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 included restructuring charges of $6
million and $38 million, respectively, primarily related to involuntary employee terminations and
facility closures, partially offset by the reversal of $2 million and $11 million of restructuring
charges that were no longer needed due to changes in estimates for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2007, respectively. In addition, the results for the three and six months ended June 30,
2007 included a net $1 million reduction to the gains on the sales of AOLs German and U.K. access
businesses, and the results for the six months ended June 30, 2007 included a gain of approximately
$670 million on the sale of AOLs German access business and a $1 million noncash asset impairment
charge related to asset write-offs in connection with facility closures primarily as a result of
AOLs revised strategy. Further restructuring actions associated with the strategy are expected to
result in additional restructuring and related charges during the remainder of 2007 of up to $50
million. The results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 included a $15 million
restructuring charge related to a reduction in headcount. In addition, the results for the six
months ended June 30, 2006 included a $1 million restructuring charge primarily related to changes
in estimates of previously established restructuring accruals and a $2 million gain from the
resolution of a previously contingent gain related to the 2004 sale of NSS.
For the three months ended June 30, 2007, Operating Income before Depreciation and
Amortization decreased slightly compared to the three months ended June 30, 2006, due primarily to
a decline in Subscription revenues, partially offset by lower costs of revenues, lower selling,
general and administrative expenses, and higher Advertising revenues. For the six months ended June
30, 2007, Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization increased compared to the six
18

OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION (Continued)
months ended June 30, 2006, due primarily to the gain on the sale of the German access
business, higher Advertising revenues and lower costs of revenues and selling, general and
administrative expenses, partially offset by lower Subscription revenues and higher restructuring
costs. The increases in Operating Income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 compared
to the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, are due primarily to the changes in Operating
Income before Depreciation and Amortization discussed above and lower depreciation expense as a
result of a decline in network assets due to membership declines.
In connection with AOLs strategy, including its reduction of subscriber acquisition efforts,
AOL expects to experience a continued decline in its subscribers and related Subscription revenues,
and, for the remainder of 2007, a decline in subscriber ARPU as compared to the similar period in
2006. In addition, over the remainder of 2007, AOL expects to continue to reduce costs of revenues,
including dial-up network and customer service expenses, and selling, general and administrative
expenses.
The Company expects that AOLs growth rates for Operating Income before Depreciation and
Amortization and Operating Income for the remainder of the year compared to the corresponding
six-month period in the prior year, excluding the gains on the sales of AOLs European access
businesses, will be significantly lower than the levels of growth achieved for the first half of
2007 primarily as a result of continued declines in Subscription revenues, including the impact on
Subscription revenues of the divestiture of AOLs European access businesses.
As previously noted under Recent Developments, on February 28, 2007, the Company completed
the sale of AOLs German access business to Telecom Italia S.p.A. for $850 million in cash,
resulting in a pretax gain of approximately $670 million. In connection with this sale, the Company
entered into a separate agreement to provide ongoing web services, including content, e-mail and
other online tools and services to Telecom Italia S.p.A. As a result of the historical
interdependency of AOLs European access and audience businesses, the historical cash flows and
operations of the access and audience businesses were not clearly distinguishable. Accordingly,
AOLs German access business and its other European access businesses, which were sold in 2006,
have not been reflected as discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated financial
statements.

Cable. As previously noted under Recent Developments, on July 31, 2006, the Company
completed the Adelphia/Comcast Transactions and began consolidating the results of the Acquired
Systems. Additionally, on January 1, 2007, the Company began consolidating the results of the
Kansas City Pool. Accordingly, the operating results for the three and six months ended June 30,
2007 include the results of the Legacy Systems, the Acquired Systems and the Kansas City Pool, and
the operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 consist only of the results
of the Legacy Systems. Revenues, Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization and
Operating Income of the Cable segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 are

Voice revenues included revenues primarily associated with Digital Phone, TWCs
voice service, as well as revenues associated with subscribers acquired from Comcast who
received traditional, circuit-switched telephone service, which were $11 million and $25
million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively. 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. |

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. |

High-speed data subscriber numbers reflect billable subscribers who receive TWCs
Road Runner high-speed data service or any of the other high-speed data services offered by
TWC. |
|
(e) |
|
Digital Phone subscriber numbers reflect billable subscribers who receive IP-based
telephony service. Digital Phone subscribers exclude subscribers acquired from Comcast in the
Exchange who receive traditional, circuit-switched telephone service (which totaled
approximately 74,000 consolidated subscribers at June 30, 2007). |
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, Subscription revenues increased, driven
by 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, high-speed
data and Digital Phone subscriber levels in the Legacy Systems. Aggregate revenues associated with
TWCs 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. Strong growth
rates for Subscription revenues associated with high-speed data and voice services are expected to
continue during the remainder of 2007.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, Advertising revenues increased due to an
increase in local and national advertising, 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.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, video programming costs increased 66% to
$882 million and 69% to $1.762 billion, respectively, due primarily to the impact of the Acquired
Systems ($256 million and $513 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007,
respectively) and the consolidation of the Kansas City Pool ($51 million and $101 million for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively), 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. For the three and
six months ended June 30, 2007, employee costs 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. For the three and six
months ended June 30, 2007, voice costs increased $40 million to $111 million and $92 million to
$223 million, respectively, primarily due to growth in Digital Phone subscribers and the
consolidation of the Kansas City Pool, offset partially by a decrease in per subscriber
connectivity costs. Other costs increased 75% to $309 million and 72% to $609 million,
respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 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. In addition, 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.
The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses for the three and six months
ended June 30, 2007 is primarily the result of higher employee, marketing and other costs due to
the impact of the Acquired Systems and the consolidation of the Kansas City Pool, increased
headcount and higher costs resulting from the continued roll-out of advanced services, salary
increases and an increase in equity-based compensation. The three and six months ended 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.
As previously noted under Significant Transactions and Other Items Affecting Comparability,
the Cable segment expensed non-capitalizable merger-related and restructuring costs associated with
the Adelphia/Comcast 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 ended June
30, 2006, respectively. In addition, the results included other restructuring costs of $3 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. TWCs 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.
Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization increased for the three and six months
ended June 30, 2007 principally as a result of revenue growth, partially offset by higher costs of
revenues and selling, general and administrative expenses, as discussed above.
Operating Income increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 primarily due to
the increase in Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization described above, partially
offset by increases in both depreciation and amortization expense. Depreciation expense increased
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 increased primarily as a result of the amortization of intangible assets
related to customer relationships associated with the Acquired Systems. This was partially offset
by a decrease due to the absence during the second 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.
The Company anticipates that Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization 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.

The increase in theatrical film revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 was
due primarily to the success of certain key releases in 2007, which compared favorably to 2006.
Revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 included the releases of 300, Oceans 13
and Music and Lyrics and for the six months ended June 30, 2007 included carryover from Blood
Diamond. The 2006 releases included the June 28, 2006 domestic release of Superman Returns and the
six months ended June 30, 2006 included international carryover of Harry Potter and the Goblet of
Fire. The decline in theatrical product revenues from television licensing for the three months
ended June 30, 2007 compared to the similar period in the prior year reflects the timing and
quantity of availabilities, including Wedding Crashers for the three months ended June 30, 2006.
For the six months ended June 30, 2007, this decline was more than offset by a greater number of
significant titles in the first quarter of 2007. Home video sales of theatrical product declined
for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 primarily due to difficult comparisons as the
similar periods in the prior year included revenues from the release of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and
Wedding Crashers compared to the release of Happy Feet for the three and six months ended June 30,
2007.
The decline in license fees from television product for the three and six months ended June
30, 2007 was due primarily to difficult comparisons to the prior year periods, which included the
initial off-network availability of the first three seasons of Without a Trace and second-cycle
off-network non-continuance license arrangements for Friends in the second

quarter of 2006. The decline in home video sales of television product for the six months ended
June 30, 2007 reflects difficult comparisons to the prior year period, which included higher
revenues attributable to Seinfeld and Friends.
The decrease in costs of revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2007 resulted primarily
from lower film costs ($943 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $1.036
billion for the three months ended June 30, 2006) and lower home video manufacturing and
distribution costs related to a decline in volume, partially offset by higher theatrical
advertising and print costs resulting from the timing, quantity and mix of films released. The
increase in costs of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2007 resulted primarily from higher
theatrical advertising and print costs resulting from the timing, quantity and mix of films
released, partially offset by lower film costs ($2.086 billion for the six months ended June 30,
2007 compared to $2.168 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2006) and lower home video
manufacturing and distribution costs related to a decline in volume. Included in film costs are
pre-release theatrical film valuation adjustments, which increased to $51 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2007 from $36 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006, and remained
flat at $104 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $105 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2006. Costs of revenues as a percentage of revenues increased to 76% for the
three months ended June 30, 2007 from 74% for the three months ended June 30, 2006, and to 74% for
the six months ended June 30, 2007 from 72% for the six months ended June 30, 2006, reflecting the
quantity and mix of products released.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, selling, general and administrative expenses
benefited from higher distribution fees earned, partially offset by higher employee costs for the
six months ended June 30, 2007.
As previously noted under Significant Transactions and Other Items Affecting Comparability,
the results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 included $2 million and $4 million,
respectively, of restructuring charges as a result of changes in estimates of previously
established restructuring accruals.
Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization and Operating Income decreased for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2007 primarily due to a decline in revenues. The six months
ended June 30, 2006 also included a benefit of $42 million from the sale of certain international
film rights.
The Company anticipates that both Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization and
Operating Income at the Filmed Entertainment segment will increase for the remainder of 2007
relative to the corresponding six-month period in 2006 due primarily to expectations of improved
theatrical distribution and home video performance resulting from the current years theatrical
release slate.

On September 17, 2006, Warner Bros. and CBS ceased the stand-alone operations of The WB
Network and UPN, respectively, and formed The CW, an equity method investee of the Company. The
Networks segment results included the operations of The WB Network through the date of its shutdown
on September 17, 2006. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, the Networks segment
operating results included revenues of $160 million and $299 million, respectively, and an
Operating Loss of $81 million and $110 million, respectively, from The WB Network.
The increase in Subscription revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 was due
primarily to higher subscription rates and, to a lesser extent, an increase in the number of
subscribers at Turner.
The decrease in Advertising revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 was
driven primarily by the impact of the shutdown of The WB Network on September 17, 2006, partially
offset by higher Advertising revenues across Turners primary networks.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, costs of revenues remained essentially flat
due primarily to a decline in programming costs, offset by increases in distribution costs and
costs related to digital initiatives. Programming costs decreased 2% to $1.028 billion for the
three months ended June 30, 2007 from $1.049 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and
decreased 3% to $1.768 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2007 from $1.824 billion for the
six months ended June 30, 2006. The decrease in programming costs for the three and six months
ended June 30, 2007 was primarily due to the shutdown of The WB Network on September 17, 2006,
partially offset by higher acquired theatrical programming costs at HBO and an increase in sports
programming costs at Turner, particularly related to NASCAR and NBA programming. Costs of revenues
as a percentage of revenues were 53% and 52% for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006,
respectively, and were 49% for both the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, selling, general and administrative expenses
decreased due primarily to the shutdown of The WB Network on September 17, 2006.
As previously noted under Significant Transactions and Other Items Affecting Comparability,
the results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 include a $34 million noncash charge
related to the impairment of the Court TV tradename as a result of rebranding the Court TV network
name to truTV, effective January 1, 2008, and approximately $16 million of restructuring charges
and severance related to recent senior management changes at HBO. The results for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2006 include shutdown costs of $81 million related to the shutdown of The WB
Network, including $8 million related to employee terminations, $19 million related to contractual
settlements and $54

million related to the termination of certain programming arrangements
(primarily licensed movie rights). Included in the
$54 million of costs to terminate programming arrangements is $29 million of costs related to
terminating intercompany programming arrangements with other Time Warner divisions (e.g., New Line)
that have been eliminated in consolidation, resulting in a net charge related to programming
arrangements of $25 million.
Operating
Income before Depreciation and Amortization and Operating Income
increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007
primarily due to declines in selling, general and administrative
expenses and the absence of restructuring and shutdown costs of The
WB Network incurred in the prior year quarter, partially offset by
the asset impairment recorded in the second quarter of 2007, as
described above.
The
Company expects the growth rates for the Networks segment to be
relatively flat for the third quarter of 2007, compared to the
similar period in the prior year, reflecting primarily higher
investments in programming.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, Subscription revenues declined slightly
primarily as a result of lower newsstand sales, lower subscription revenues for several domestic
titles and the closure of Teen People in September 2006, partially offset by the favorable effects
of foreign currency exchange rates at IPC.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, Advertising revenues increased due primarily
to growth in digital revenues, reflecting contributions from People.com, CNNMoney.com and SI.com,
and the favorable effects of foreign currency exchange rates at IPC, partially offset by a decrease
in domestic print Advertising revenues including the impact of the closures of Teen People and
LIFE.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, Other revenues decreased due primarily to
declines at Southern Living At Home. In addition, for the six months ended June 30, 2007, the
decrease in Other revenues is also due to declines at Synapse, a subscription marketing business.
Costs of revenues decreased 3% for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and, as a percentage
of revenues, were 38% and 39% for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Costs of revenues decreased 2% for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and, as a percentage of
revenues, were 40% for the six months ended both June 30, 2007 and 2006. Costs of revenues for the
magazine publishing business include manufacturing costs (paper, printing and distribution) and
editorial-related costs, which together decreased 7% to $414 million for the three months ended
June 30, 2007 and decreased 5% to $798 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, primarily
due to editorial-related and manufacturing cost savings. These decreases at the magazine publishing
business were offset by increased costs associated with investments in digital properties,
including incremental editorial costs and the unfavorable effects of foreign currency exchange
rates at IPC.

TIME WARNER INC.
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION (Continued)
Selling, general and administrative expenses remained essentially flat for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2007 primarily due to recent cost savings initiatives and the closure of Teen
People, offset by costs associated with the investment in digital properties and the unfavorable
effects of foreign currency exchange rates at IPC.
As previously noted under Significant Transactions and Other Items Affecting Comparability,
the results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 include $7 million and $42 million,
respectively, of restructuring costs, primarily severance associated with continuing efforts to
streamline operations and costs related to the shutdown of LIFE magazine in the first quarter of
2007. The results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 include $22 million and $34
million, respectively, of restructuring costs, primarily associated with continuing efforts to
streamline operations.
Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization and Operating Income for the three
months ended June 30, 2007 increased due primarily to a decrease in costs of revenues and
restructuring costs. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, Operating Income before Depreciation
and Amortization and Operating Income remained essentially flat due primarily to a decline in
revenues and an increase in restructuring charges of $8 million, partially offset by a decline in
costs of revenues.

As previously noted, the Company recognized legal reserves as well as legal and other
professional fees related to the defense of various shareholder lawsuits, totaling $5 million and
$176 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively, and $35 million and
$114 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively. In addition, the
Company recognized related insurance recoveries of $1 million and $9 million for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2007, respectively, and $3 million and $53 million for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2006, respectively. Legal fees are expected to continue to be incurred in
future periods, primarily related to ongoing proceedings with respect to certain former employees
of the Company.
As previously noted under Significant Transactions and Other Items Affecting Comparability,
the results for the six months ended June 30, 2006 include approximately $5 million of
restructuring costs and a gain of approximately $20 million on the sale of two aircraft.
Excluding the items noted above, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, Operating
Loss before Depreciation and Amortization and Operating Loss decreased due primarily to lower
professional and financial advisory costs.

TIME WARNER INC.
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION (Continued)
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY
Management believes that cash generated by or available to Time Warner should be sufficient to
fund its capital and liquidity needs for the foreseeable future, including the quarterly dividend
payments and its new $5 billion common stock repurchase program. Time Warners sources of cash
include cash provided by operations, expected proceeds from recently announced sales of assets,
cash and equivalents on hand, available borrowing capacity under its committed credit facilities
and commercial paper programs of $3.114 billion at Time Warner and $3.327 billion at TWC, in each
case as of June 30, 2007, and access to the capital markets. Time Warner increased the size of its
unsecured commercial paper program from $5.0 billion to $7.0 billion in January 2007.
Current Financial Condition
At June 30, 2007, Time Warner had $35.899 billion of debt, $890 million of cash and
equivalents (net debt of $35.009 billion, defined as total debt less cash and equivalents), $300

As noted under Recent Developments, in July 2005, Time Warners Board of Directors
authorized a common stock repurchase program that, as amended over time, allowed the Company to
purchase up to an aggregate of $20 billion of common stock during the period from July 29, 2005
through December 31, 2007. As of June 30, 2007, the Company completed its $20 billion common
stock repurchase program, having repurchased approximately 1.1 billion shares of common stock from
the programs inception through such date (Note 6).
As noted under Recent Developments, on July 26, 2007, Time Warners Board of Directors
authorized a new common stock repurchase program that allows the Company to purchase, from time to
time, up to an aggregate of $5 billion of common stock. Purchases under this new stock repurchase
program may be made from time to time on the open market and in privately negotiated transactions.
Size and timing of these purchases are based on a number of factors, including price and business
and market conditions.
As noted under Recent Developments, on June 21, 2007, the Company announced an agreement to
sell Tegic, a wholly owned subsidiary of AOL, to Nuance for approximately $265 million in cash.
This transaction, which is subject to customary closing conditions, is expected to close in the
third quarter of 2007. The Company expects to record a pretax gain on this sale ranging from
approximately $160 million to $190 million. The results of operations of Tegic have been reflected
as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

As noted under Recent Developments, on July 23, 2007, the Company entered into an agreement
to purchase TACODA, an online behavioral targeting advertising network, for approximately $275
million in cash. The transaction, which is subject to customary closing conditions, is expected to
close in the third quarter of 2007.
As noted under Recent Developments, on December 14, 2006, Turner announced an agreement with
Claxson to purchase seven pay television networks operating in Latin America for approximately $235
million (net of cash acquired). The transaction, which is subject to customary closing conditions,
is expected to close in the second half of 2007.
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.
On December 29, 2006, the Company completed the sale of AOLs U.K. access business for $712
million, $476 million of which was paid at closing and the remainder of which is payable over the
eighteen months following the closing. As of June 30, 2007, the Company expects to receive the
remaining approximately $200 million over the twelve months ending June 30, 2008. The receivable
due from the purchaser of the U.K. access business is non-interest bearing, and was recorded at its
discounted present value upon the closing of the sale transaction. In addition, the receivable is
denominated in British pounds, and the U.S. dollar amount presented is subject to change based on
fluctuations in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the British pound.
On May 1, 2007, Time Warners 6.15% notes due May 1, 2007 (aggregate principal amount of $1.0
billion) matured and were retired, and on August 15, 2007, Time Warners 8.18% notes due August 15,
2007 (aggregate principal amount of $546 million) will mature.

Cash provided by operations decreased to $3.119 billion in 2007 compared to $4.157
billion in 2006. The decrease in cash provided by operations was
related primarily to increases
in payments made in connection with the settlements in the securities litigation and the government
investigations, interest payments, income taxes paid and cash used for working capital, partially offset by an increase in
Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization. The changes in components of working capital
are subject to wide fluctuations based on the timing of cash transactions related to production
schedules, the acquisition of programming, collection of accounts receivable and similar items. The
change in working capital between periods is primarily related to higher programming costs and
production spending, as well as higher payments on accounts payable.

Cash used by investing activities was $971 million in 2007 compared to $499 million in
2006. The change in cash used by investing activities is primarily due to the absence of the
proceeds from the 2006 issuance of a 5% equity interest by AOL and an increase in capital
expenditures and product development costs, principally at the Companys Cable segment, partially
offset by a decline in investments and acquisitions, net of cash acquired. The increase in capital
expenditures was principally associated with the Acquired Systems, as well as the continued
roll-out of TWCs advanced digital services.
As a result of the Adelphia/Comcast 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 TWC to offer its advanced services and features in the Acquired Systems.
Through December 31, 2006, the Company 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. The Company does not believe that these expenditures will have a material negative impact on
its liquidity or capital resources.

Cash used by financing activities was $2.807 billion in 2007 compared to $6.634 billion in
2006. The change in cash used by financing activities is primarily due to a decline in repurchases
of common stock made in connection with the Companys $20 billion common stock repurchase program,
partially offset by a decline in net borrowings (i.e. borrowings less
repayments).
TWC Debt Securities
On April 9, 2007, TWC completed the issuance of $5.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of
senior unsecured notes and debentures (the Cable 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 Cable Debt
Securities) pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the Securities Act). The Cable Debt Securities are guaranteed by TWE and TW NY Cable Holding
Inc. (TWNYCH and, together with TWE, the Guarantors). TWC used a portion of the net proceeds of
the Cable Bond Offering to repay all of the outstanding indebtedness under its $4.0 billion
three-year term credit 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 TWCs $4.0 billion
five-year term credit facility on April 27, 2007, which reduced the amounts outstanding under that
facility to $3.045 billion as of such date.
The Cable Debt Securities were issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of April 9, 2007 (the
Base Cable Indenture), by and among TWC, 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 Cable Indenture and, together with the Cable Base Indenture, the Cable Indenture),
by and among TWC, 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 Cable Debt Securities are unsecured senior obligations of TWC and rank
equally with its other unsecured and unsubordinated obligations. The guarantees of the Cable 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 Cable Debt Securities may be redeemed in whole or in part at any time at TWCs option at a
redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Cable Debt
Securities being redeemed and (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled
payments on the Cable 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 Cable Indenture,
plus, in each case, accrued but unpaid interest to the redemption date.
32
TIME WARNER INC.
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION (Continued)
The Cable Indenture contains customary covenants relating to restrictions on the ability of
TWC or any material subsidiary of TWC to create liens and on the ability of TWC and the Guarantors
to consolidate, merge or convey or transfer substantially all of their assets. The Cable Indenture
also contains customary events of default.
In connection with the issuance of the Cable Debt Securities, on April 9, 2007, TWC, the
Guarantors and the initial purchasers of the Cable Debt Securities entered into a Registration
Rights Agreement (the Registration Rights Agreement) pursuant to which TWC agreed, among other
things, to use its commercially reasonable efforts to consummate a registered exchange offer for
the Cable Debt Securities within 270 days after the issuance date of the Cable Debt Securities or
cause a shelf registration statement covering the resale of the Cable Debt Securities to be
declared effective within specified periods. TWC will be required to pay additional interest of
0.25% per annum on the Cable 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, TWC and
the Guarantors filed with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-4 covering a registered
exchange offer for the Cable Debt Securities. The registration statement is not yet effective.
Commercial Paper Programs
On January 25, 2007, Time Warner entered into a $7.0 billion unsecured commercial paper
program (the TW Program) that replaced its previous $5.0 billion unsecured commercial paper
program, which was terminated in February 2007 upon repayment of the last amounts issued
thereunder. The obligations of Time Warner under the TW Program are guaranteed by TW AOL Holdings
Inc. (TW AOL) and Historic TW. In addition, the obligations of Historic TW are guaranteed by
Turner and Time Warner Companies, Inc. Proceeds from the TW Program may be used for general
corporate purposes, including investments, repayment of debt and acquisitions. Commercial paper
issued by Time Warner is supported by unused committed capacity under the Companys $7.0 billion
senior unsecured five-year revolving credit facility. As of June 30, 2007, approximately $3.803
billion of commercial paper was outstanding under the TW Program.
On December 4, 2006, TWC entered into a $6.0 billion unsecured commercial paper program (the
TWC Program) that replaced its previous $2.0 billion commercial paper program, which was
terminated on February 14, 2007 upon repayment of the last remaining notes issued under that
program. The TWC Program is guaranteed by TWNYCH and TWE. Commercial paper issued by TWC under the
TWC Program is supported by unused committed capacity under TWCs $6.0 billion senior unsecured
revolving credit facility and ranks pari passu with other unsecured senior indebtedness of TWC, TWE
and TWNYCH. As of June 30, 2007, approximately $2.5 billion of commercial paper was outstanding
under the TWC Program.
Programming Licensing Backlog
Programming licensing backlog represents the amount of future revenue not yet recorded from
cash contracts for the licensing of theatrical and television product for pay cable, basic cable,
network and syndicated television exhibition. Backlog was approximately $4.1 billion and $4.2
billion at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. Included in these amounts is
licensing of film product from one Time Warner division to another Time Warner division in the
amount of $763 million and $702 million at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.
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, Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization and cash from operations. 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 Time
Warner or its business segments in the future and cause Time Warners actual results to differ
materially from those contained in the forward-
33
TIME WARNER INC.
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION (Continued)
looking statements, including those factors
discussed in detail in Item 1A, Risk Factors, in the Companys Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 (the 2006 Form 10-K), and in Time Warners
other filings made from time to time with the SEC after the date of this report. In addition, Time
Warner operates in highly competitive, consumer and technology-driven and rapidly changing media,
entertainment, interactive services and cable businesses. These businesses are 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 intellectual property rights. Time Warners actual
results could differ materially from managements expectations because of changes in such factors.
Further, for Time Warner generally, lower than expected valuations associated with the cash
flows and revenues at Time Warners segments may result in Time Warners inability to realize the
value of recorded intangibles and goodwill at those segments. In addition, achieving the Companys
financial objectives, including growth in operations, maintaining financial ratios and a strong
balance sheet, 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. The Company has
investments in certain unconsolidated entities. As the Company does not control these entities, its
disclosure controls and procedures with respect to such entities are necessarily substantially more
limited than those it maintains with respect to its consolidated subsidiaries.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
On July 31, 2006, the Companys Cable segment 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 Cable segments existing system of internal control over financial
reporting. The Cable segment 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
Cable segment, 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.

(a) |
|
The six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 include net income from discontinued
operations of $138 million and $437 million, respectively. After considering noncash gains and
expenses and working capital-related adjustments relating to discontinued operations, net
operational cash flows from discontinued operations were $55 million and $156 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. |
|
(b) |
|
The six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 include an approximate $2 million and
$181 million source of cash, respectively, related to changing the fiscal year end of certain
international operations from November 30 to December 31. |
|
(c) |
|
The six months ended June 30, 2007 excludes $440 million of common stock repurchased
or due from Liberty Media Corporation, indirectly attributable to the exchange of the Atlanta
Braves baseball franchise (the Braves) and Leisure Arts, Inc. (Leisure Arts).
Specifically, the $440 million represents the fair value of the Braves and Leisure Arts of

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Description of Business
Time Warner Inc. (Time Warner or the Company) is a leading media and entertainment
company, whose businesses include interactive services, cable systems, filmed entertainment,
television networks and publishing. Time Warner classifies its business interests into five
reportable segments: AOL: consisting principally of interactive services; Cable: consisting
principally of interests in cable systems that provide video, high-speed data and voice services;
Filmed Entertainment: consisting principally of feature film, television and home video production
and distribution; Networks: consisting principally of cable television networks; and Publishing:
consisting principally of magazine publishing. Financial information for Time Warners various
reportable segments is presented in Note 10.
Basis of Presentation
Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include 100% of the assets, liabilities, revenues,
expenses and cash flows of Time Warner and all entities in which Time Warner has a controlling
voting interest (subsidiaries) and variable interest entities (VIE) required to be consolidated
in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Intercompany accounts
and transactions between consolidated companies have been eliminated in consolidation.
The financial position and operating results of substantially all foreign operations are
consolidated using the local currency as the functional currency. Local currency assets and
liabilities are translated at the rates of exchange on the balance sheet date, and local currency
revenues and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange during the period. Resulting
translation gains or losses are included in the consolidated statement of shareholders equity as a
component of Accumulated other comprehensive income, net.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
footnotes thereto. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Significant estimates inherent in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements
include reserves established for securities litigation matters, accounting for asset impairments,
allowances for doubtful accounts, depreciation and amortization, film ultimate revenues, home video
and magazine returns, business combinations, pensions and other postretirement benefits,
stock-based compensation, income taxes, contingencies and certain programming arrangements.
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 Time Warner included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2006 (the 2006 Form 10-K).

Income Per Common Share
Basic income per common share is computed by dividing the net income applicable to common
shares after preferred dividend requirements, if any, by the weighted average of common shares
outstanding during the period. Weighted-average common shares include shares of Time Warners
common stock and Series LMCN-V common stock. All outstanding shares of Series LMCN-V common stock
were tendered to the Company on May 16, 2007 and were retired in connection with the transaction
with Liberty described in Notes 3 and 6. Diluted income per common share adjusts basic income per common
share for the effects of convertible securities, stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock
units, performance stock units and other potentially dilutive financial instruments, only in the
periods in which such effect is dilutive.
Set forth below is a reconciliation of basic and diluted income per common share before
discontinued operations and cumulative effect of accounting change (millions, except per share

months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 exclude approximately 290 million and 470 million,
respectively, and 290 million and 408 million, respectively, common shares issuable under the
Companys stock compensation plans because they do not have a dilutive effect.
Changes in Basis of Presentation
The 2006 financial information has been recast so that the basis of presentation is consistent
with that of the 2007 financial information. Specifically, amounts were recast to reflect the
retrospective presentation of certain businesses that were sold or that the Company has entered
into agreements to sell as discontinued operations (see Note 3).
Consolidation of Kansas City Pool
On January 1, 2007, the Company began consolidating the results of the Kansas City, south and
west Texas and New Mexico cable systems (the Kansas City Pool) it received upon the distribution
of the assets of Texas and Kansas City Cable Partners, L.P. (TKCCP) to Time Warner Cable Inc.
(together with its subsidiaries, TWC) and Comcast.
Amounts Related to Securities Litigation
During the first and second quarters of 2007, the Company reached agreements to settle
substantially all of the remaining securities litigation claims, a substantial portion of which had
been reserved for at December 31, 2006. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, the
Company recorded charges of approximately $1 million and $153 million, respectively, for these
settlements. At June 30, 2007, the Companys remaining reserve related to these matters is
approximately $17 million, including approximately $8 million that has been reserved for an
expected attorneys fee award related to a previously settled matter. The Company believes the
potential exposure in the securities litigation matters that remain pending at June 30, 2007 to be
de minimis.
41
TIME WARNER INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
The Company recognizes insurance recoveries when it becomes probable that such amounts will be
received. The Company recognized insurance recoveries related to Employee Retirement Income
Security Act (ERISA) matters of approximately $1 million and $9 million for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2007, respectively, and approximately $3 million and $53 million for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively.
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.
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 (SEC) Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 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. The Company determines the volatility assumption
for these stock options using implied volatilities from its 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
Time Warner employees. 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.
In April 2007, TWC made its first grant of stock options and restricted stock units based on
TWCs 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 as described above. However,
because TWCs Class A common stock has a limited trading history, the volatility assumption is
determined by reference to historical and implied volatilities of a comparable peer group of
publicly traded companies.
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 $25 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.

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 an increase to accumulated deficit of approximately
$97 million (approximately $59 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 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 approximately $445 million of tax
benefits for positions that were previously unrecognized, of which approximately $433 million was
accounted for as a reduction to the accumulated deficit balance and approximately $12 million was
accounted for as an increase to the paid-in-capital balance as of January 1, 2007. Additionally,
the adoption of FIN 48 resulted in the recognition of additional tax reserves for positions where
there is uncertainty about the timing or character of such deductibility. These additional reserves
were largely offset by increased deferred tax assets.
After considering the impact of adopting FIN 48, the Company had a $1.6 billion 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. The majority
of such unrecognized tax positions, if ever recognized in the financial statements, would be
recorded in the statement of operations as part of the income tax provision.
The income tax reserve as of January 1, 2007 included an accrual for interest and penalties of
approximately $117 million. The impact of timing differences and tax attributes are considered when
calculating interest and penalty accruals associated with the tax reserve. 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.
The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. and various state and
local and foreign jurisdictions. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has commenced an examination of
the Companys U.S. income tax returns for the 2002 through 2004 period. The tax years that remain
subject to examination by significant jurisdiction are as follows:
|
|
|
U.S. federal
|
|
2002 through the current period |
California

Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Split-Dollar Life
Insurance Arrangements
The EITF has reached consensuses on EITF Issue No. 06-10, Deferred Compensation and
Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Collateral Assignment Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements
(EITF 06-10), and EITF Issue No. 06-04, Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefits Aspects
of Endorsement Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements (EITF 06-04), which require that a
company recognize a liability for the postretirement benefits associated with endorsement and
collateral assignment split-dollar life insurance arrangements. The provisions of EITF 06-10 and
EITF 06-04 will be effective for Time Warner as of January 1, 2008 and will impact the Company in
instances where the Company has contractually agreed to maintain a life insurance policy (i.e., the
Company pays the premiums) for an employee in periods in which the employee is no longer providing
services. The provisions of EITF 06-10 and EITF 06-04 are not expected to have a material impact on
the Companys consolidated financial statements.
2. TIME WARNER CABLE INC.
Transactions with Adelphia and Comcast
On July 31, 2006, a subsidiary of TWC, Time Warner NY Cable LLC (TW NY), and Comcast
Corporation (together with its subsidiaries, Comcast) completed their respective acquisitions of
assets comprising in the aggregate substantially all of the cable assets of Adelphia Communications
Corporation (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 Adelphia/Comcast Transactions). The results of the
systems acquired in connection with the Adelphia/Comcast Transactions have been included in the
consolidated statement of operations since the closing of the transactions. As a result of the
closing of the Adelphia/Comcast Transactions, TWC acquired systems with approximately 4.0 million
basic video subscribers and disposed of systems with approximately 0.8 million basic video
subscribers previously owned by TWC that were transferred to Comcast in connection with the
Redemptions and the Exchange for a net gain of approximately 3.2 million basic video subscribers.
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, the 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. On March 1, 2007, TWCs
Class A common stock began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol TWC. As of
June 30, 2007, Time Warner owned approximately 84% of TWCs outstanding common stock.
Texas/Kansas City Cable Joint Venture
TKCCP was a 50-50 joint venture between a consolidated subsidiary of TWC (Time Warner
Entertainment-Advance/Newhouse Partnership (TWE-A/N)) and Comcast. On January 1, 2007, TKCCP
distributed its assets to TWC and Comcast. TWC received the Kansas City Pool, which served
approximately 788,000 basic video subscribers as of December 31, 2006, and Comcast received the
pool of assets consisting of the Houston cable systems (the Houston Pool), which served
approximately 795,000 basic video subscribers as of December 31, 2006. TWC began consolidating the
results of the Kansas City Pool on January 1, 2007. TKCCP was formally dissolved on May 15, 2007.
For accounting purposes, the Company has treated the distribution of TKCCPs assets as a sale of
the Companys 50% equity interest in the Houston Pool and as an acquisition of Comcasts 50% equity
interest in the Kansas City Pool. As a result of the sale of the Companys 50% equity interest in
the Houston Pool, the Company recorded a pretax gain of approximately $146 million in the first
quarter of 2007, which is included as a component of other income, net in the consolidated
statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2007.
44
TIME WARNER INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
The acquisition of Comcasts 50% equity interest in the Kansas City Pool on January 1, 2007
was treated as a step-acquisition and accounted for as a purchase business combination. The
consideration paid to acquire the 50% equity interest in the Kansas City Pool was the fair value of
the 50% equity interest in the Houston Pool transferred to Comcast. The estimated fair value of
TWCs 50% interest in the Houston Pool (approximately $881 million) was determined using a
discounted cash flow analysis and was reduced by debt assumed by Comcast. Approximately $613
million of the purchase price has been allocated to intangible assets not subject to amortization
and $183 million has been allocated to property, plant and equipment with the remainder of $85
million allocated to other assets and liabilities.
Supplemental Unaudited Pro Forma Information
The following schedule presents supplemental unaudited pro forma information for the three and
six months ended June 30, 2006 as if the Adelphia/Comcast Transactions and the consolidation of the
Kansas City Pool had occurred on January 1, 2006. The unaudited pro forma information is presented
based on information available, is intended for informational purposes only and is not necessarily
indicative of and does not purport to represent what Time Warners future financial condition or
operating results will be after giving effect to the Adelphia/Comcast Transactions and the
consolidation of the Kansas City Pool, and does not reflect actions that may be undertaken by
management in integrating these businesses (e.g., the cost of incremental capital expenditures). In
addition, this supplemental information does not reflect financial and operating benefits TWC
expects to realize as a result of the Adelphia/Comcast Transactions and the consolidation of the
Kansas City Pool (millions, except per share amounts).

On May 16, 2007, the Company completed a transaction in which Liberty Media Corporation
(Liberty) exchanged 68.5 million shares of Time Warner common stock for the stock of a subsidiary
of Time Warner that owned assets including the Atlanta Braves baseball franchise (the Braves) and
Leisure Arts, Inc. (Leisure Arts) (at a fair value of $473 million) and $960 million of cash
(collectively, the Liberty Transaction). Included in the 68.5 million shares of Time Warner
common stock are 4 million shares expected to be delivered to the Company upon the resolution of a
working capital adjustment that is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2007. The 4
million shares have a value of $83 million and have been reflected as common stock due from Liberty
in the consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2007. In the second quarter of 2007, the Company
recorded a pretax gain of $72 million on the sale of the Braves, which is net of indemnification
obligations valued at $60 million. The Company has agreed to indemnify Liberty for, among other
things, increases in the amount due by the Braves under Major League Baseballs revenue sharing
rules from expected amounts for fiscal years 2007 to 2027, to the extent attributable to local
broadcast and other contracts in place prior to the Liberty Transaction. The Liberty Transaction
was designed to qualify as a tax-free split-off under Section 355 of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended, and, as a result, the historical deferred tax liabilities of $83 million
associated with the Braves were no longer required. In the first quarter of 2007, the Company
recorded an impairment charge of $13 million on its investment in Leisure Arts. The results of
operations of the Braves and Leisure Arts have been reflected as discontinued operations for all
periods presented.
TACODA
On July 23, 2007, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase TACODA, Inc. (TACODA),
an online behavioral targeting advertising network, for approximately $275 million in cash. The
transaction, which is subject to customary closing conditions, is expected to close in the third
quarter of 2007.
Bookspan
On April 9, 2007, the Company sold its 50% interest in Bookspan, a joint venture accounted for
as an equity method investment that primarily owns and operates book clubs via direct mail and
e-commerce, to a subsidiary of Bertelsmann AG (Bertelsmann) for a purchase price of $145 million,
which resulted in a pretax gain of approximately $100 million.
Parenting and Time4 Media
On March 3, 2007, the Company sold its Parenting Group and most of the Time4 Media magazine
titles, consisting of 18 of Time Inc.s smaller niche magazines, to a subsidiary of Bonnier AB, a
Swedish media company (Bonnier), for approximately $220 million, which resulted in a pretax gain
of approximately $54 million. The results of operations of the Parenting Group and Time4 Media
magazine titles that were sold have been reflected as discontinued operations for all periods
presented.
Sales of AOLs European Access Businesses
On February 28, 2007, the Company completed the sale of AOLs German access business to
Telecom Italia S.p.A. for $850 million in cash, resulting in a pretax gain of approximately $670
million. In connection with this sale, the Company entered into a separate agreement to provide
ongoing web services, including content, e-mail and other online tools and services to Telecom
Italia S.p.A. As a result of the historical interdependency of AOLs European access and audience
businesses, the historical cash flows and operations of the access and audience businesses were not
clearly distinguishable. Accordingly, AOLs German access business and its other European access
businesses, which were sold in 2006, have not been reflected as discontinued operations in the
consolidated financial statements.

Divestitures of Certain Non-Core AOL Wireless Businesses
On June 21, 2007, the Company announced an agreement to sell Tegic Communications, Inc.
(Tegic), a wholly owned subsidiary of AOL, to Nuance Communications, Inc. (Nuance) for
approximately $265 million in cash. This transaction, which is subject to customary closing
conditions, is expected to close in the third quarter of 2007. The Company expects to record a
pretax gain on this sale ranging from approximately $160 million to $190 million. In addition, in
the second quarter of 2007, the Company agreed to transfer the assets of Wildseed LLC (Wildseed),
a wholly owned subsidiary of AOL, to a third party. The Company recorded a pretax charge of
approximately $7 million related to this divestiture in the second quarter of 2007 and an
impairment charge of approximately $18 million on the long-lived assets of Wildseed in the first
quarter of 2007. The results of operations of both Tegic and Wildseed have been reflected as
discontinued operations for all periods presented.
Claxson
On December 14, 2006, Turner announced an agreement with Claxson Interactive Group, Inc.
(Claxson) to purchase seven pay television networks operating in Latin America for approximately
$235 million (net of cash acquired). The transaction, which is subject to customary closing
conditions, is expected to close in the second half of 2007.
Summary of Discontinued Operations
Discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 reflect
certain businesses sold during the first six months of 2007, which include the Parenting Group,

Braves, as well as certain businesses the Company entered into agreements to sell during the
first six months of 2007, which include Tegic and Wildseed. Also included in discontinued

Included in discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 was a
pretax gain of approximately $72 million and a related tax benefit of approximately $82 million on
the sale of the Braves. In addition, discontinued operations for the six months ended June 30, 2007
included a pretax gain of approximately $54 million and a related tax benefit of approximately $2
million on the sale of the Parenting Group and most of the Time4 Media magazine titles, an
impairment of approximately $18 million on AOLs long-lived assets associated with Wildseed and an
impairment of approximately $13 million on the Companys investment in Leisure Arts. For the three
months ended June 30, 2007, the tax benefit on the pretax gains resulted primarily from the
reversal of certain deferred tax liabilities in connection with the Liberty Transaction. The
Liberty Transaction was designed to qualify as a tax-free split-off under Section 355 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and, as a result, the historical deferred tax
liabilities associated with the Braves were no longer required. For the six months ended June 30,
2007, the tax benefit on the pretax gains resulted primarily from the reversal of the deferred tax
liabilities in connection with the Liberty Transaction and the recognition of deferred tax assets
associated with the sale of the magazine titles in the first quarter
of 2007. In addition, for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2007, the Company incurred an additional $17 million accrual
related to changes in estimates of Warner Music Group
indemnification liabilities. For the six months ended June 30,
2007, payments of $26 million were made related to

Warner
Music Group indemnification liabilities previously established and are disclosed on the Companys consolidated
statement of cash flows as Investment activities of
discontinued operations. These
indemnification liabilities were accrued for in prior years. Included in the results for the three
and six months ended June 30, 2006, was a pretax gain of approximately $129 million and a tax
benefit of approximately $21 million related to the sale of Turner South. In addition, the results
for the six months ended June 30, 2006, included a pretax gain of approximately $194 million and a
related tax benefit of approximately $28 million on the sale of TWBG. For the three and six months
ended June 30, 2006, the tax benefit on the sales of Turner South and TWBG resulted primarily from
the release of a valuation allowance associated with tax attribute carryforwards offsetting the
gains on these transactions.

TWC Debt Securities
On April 9, 2007, TWC completed the issuance of $5.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of
senior unsecured notes and debentures (the Cable 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 Cable Debt
Securities) pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the Securities Act). The Cable Debt Securities are guaranteed by TWE and TW NY Cable Holding
Inc. (TWNYCH and, together with TWE, the Guarantors). TWC used a portion of the net proceeds of
the Cable Bond Offering to repay all of the outstanding indebtedness under its $4.0 billion
three-year term credit 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 TWCs $4.0 billion
five-year term credit facility on April 27, 2007, which reduced the amounts outstanding under that
facility to $3.045 billion as of such date.
The Cable Debt Securities were issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of April 9, 2007 (the
Base Cable Indenture), by and among TWC, 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 Cable Indenture and, together with the Cable Base Indenture, the Cable Indenture),
by and among TWC, 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 Cable Debt Securities are unsecured senior obligations of TWC and rank
equally with its other unsecured and unsubordinated obligations. The guarantees of the Cable 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.
49
TIME WARNER INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
The Cable Debt Securities may be redeemed in whole or in part at any time at TWCs option at a
redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Cable Debt
Securities being redeemed and (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled
payments on the Cable 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 Cable Indenture,
plus, in each case, accrued but unpaid interest to the redemption date.
The Cable Indenture contains customary covenants relating to restrictions on the ability of
TWC or any material subsidiary of TWC to create liens and on the ability of TWC and the Guarantors
to consolidate, merge or convey or transfer substantially all of their assets. The Cable Indenture
also contains customary events of default.
In connection with the issuance of the Cable Debt Securities, on April 9, 2007, TWC, the
Guarantors and the initial purchasers of the Cable Debt Securities entered into a Registration
Rights Agreement (the Registration Rights Agreement) pursuant to which TWC agreed, among other
things, to use its commercially reasonable efforts to consummate a registered exchange offer for
the Cable Debt Securities within 270 days after the issuance date of the Cable Debt Securities or
cause a shelf registration statement covering the resale of the Cable Debt Securities to be
declared effective within specified periods. TWC will be required to pay additional interest of
0.25% per annum on the Cable 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, TWC and
the Guarantors filed with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-4 covering a registered
exchange offer for the Cable Debt Securities. The registration statement is not yet effective.
Commercial Paper Programs
On January 25, 2007, Time Warner entered into a $7.0 billion unsecured commercial paper
program (the TW Program) that replaced its previous $5.0 billion unsecured commercial paper
program, which was terminated in February 2007 upon repayment of the last amounts issued
thereunder. The obligations of Time Warner under the TW Program are guaranteed by TW AOL Holdings
Inc. (TW AOL) and Historic TW. In addition, the obligations of Historic TW are guaranteed by
Turner and Time Warner Companies, Inc. Proceeds from the TW Program may be used for general
corporate purposes, including investments, repayment of debt and acquisitions. Commercial paper
issued by Time Warner is supported by unused committed capacity under the Companys $7.0 billion
senior unsecured five-year revolving credit facility. As of June 30, 2007, approximately $3.803
billion of commercial paper was outstanding under the TW Program.
On December 4, 2006, TWC entered into a $6.0 billion unsecured commercial paper program (the
TWC Program) that replaced its previous $2.0 billion commercial paper program, which was
terminated on February 14, 2007 upon repayment of the last remaining notes issued under that
program. The TWC Program is guaranteed by TWNYCH and TWE. Commercial paper issued by TWC under the
TWC Program is supported by unused committed capacity under TWCs $6.0 billion senior unsecured
revolving credit facility and ranks pari passu with other unsecured senior indebtedness of TWC, TWE
and TWNYCH. As of June 30, 2007, approximately $2.5 billion of commercial paper was outstanding
under the TWC Program.
6. SHAREHOLDERS EQUITY
Common Stock Repurchase Program
In July 2005, Time Warners Board of Directors authorized a common stock repurchase program
that, as amended over time, allowed the Company to purchase up to an aggregate of $20 billion of
common stock during the period from July 29, 2005 through December 31, 2007. As of June 30, 2007,
the Company completed its common stock repurchase program, and, from the programs inception
through June 30, 2007 and 2006 the Company repurchased approximately 1.1 billion and 656 million
shares of common stock, respectively. All outstanding shares of Series LMCN-V common stock were
tendered to the Company in connection with the Liberty Transaction and were retired.
On July 26, 2007, Time Warners Board of Directors authorized a new common stock repurchase
program that allows the Company to purchase, from time to time, up to an aggregate of $5 billion of
common stock. Purchases under this new stock repurchase program may be made from time to time on
the open market and in privately negotiated transactions. Size and timing of these purchases are
based on a number of factors, including price and business and market conditions.

Time Warner Inc. Equity Plans
The Company has three active equity plans under which it is authorized to grant options to
purchase up to an aggregate of 450 million shares of Time Warner common stock. Options have been
granted to employees and non-employee directors of Time Warner 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 the Companys defined benefit
retirement plans or after reaching a specified age and years of service, as well as certain
additional circumstances for non-employee directors. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, the
Company granted approximately 27 million options at a weighted-average grant date fair value per
option of $5.17 ($3.21 net of tax). For the six months ended June, 2006, the Company granted
approximately 53 million options at a weighted-average grant date fair value per option of $4.47
($2.77 net of taxes). 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.

Time Warner may also grant shares of common stock or restricted stock units (RSUs), which
generally vest between three to five years from the date of grant, to its employees and its
non-employee directors pursuant to these equity plans, including an additional plan limited to
non-employee directors. Certain RSU awards provide for accelerated vesting upon an election to
retire pursuant to the Companys defined benefit retirement plans or after reaching a specified age
and years of service, as well as certain additional circumstances for non-employee directors. For
the six months ended June 30, 2007, the Company granted approximately 8.3 million RSUs at a
weighted-average grant date fair value per RSU of $19.99. For the six months ended June 30, 2006,
the Company granted approximately 3.9 million RSUs at a weighted-average grant date fair value per
RSU of $17.40.
Time Warner also has a performance share program for senior level executives. Under this
program, recipients of performance share units (PSUs) are awarded a target number of PSUs that
represent the contingent (unfunded and unsecured) right to receive shares of Company stock at the
end of a three-year performance period based on the actual performance level achieved by the
Company. Depending on the Companys total shareholder return relative to the other companies in the
S&P 500 Index on the date of the grant, as well as a requirement of continued employment, the
recipient of a PSU may receive 0% to 200% of the target PSUs granted based on a sliding scale where
a relative ranking of less than the 25th percentile will pay 0% and a ranking at the
100th percentile will pay 200% of the target number of shares. PSU holders do not
receive payments or accruals of dividends or dividend equivalents for regular cash dividends paid
by the Company while the PSU is outstanding. Participants who are terminated by the Company other
than for cause or who terminate their own employment for good reason or due to retirement or
disability are generally entitled to a pro rata portion of the PSUs that would otherwise vest at
the end of the performance period. For accounting purposes, the PSU is considered to have a market
condition. The effect of a market condition is reflected in the grant date fair value of the award
and, thus, compensation expense is recognized on this type of award provided that the requisite
service is rendered (regardless of whether the market condition is achieved). The fair value of a
PSU is estimated by using a Monte Carlo analysis to estimate the total return ranking of Time
Warner among the S&P 500 Index companies on the date of the grant over the performance period. For
the six months ended June 30, 2007, the Company granted approximately 1.1 million target PSUs at a
weighted-average grant date fair value per PSU of $19.47. There were no PSUs granted in 2006.

TWC Equity Plan
On June 8, 2006, TWCs board of directors approved the Time Warner Cable Inc. 2006 Stock
Incentive Plan (the TWC 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. TWC made its first grant of equity awards based on TWC Class A common stock in
April 2007. Stock options have been granted under the TWC 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 to
employees under the TWC 2006 Plan at a weighted-average grant date fair value per option of $13.34
($8.27 net of tax). 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.

Under the TWC 2006 Plan, TWC also granted RSUs, which generally vest over a four-year period
from the date of grant. Certain RSU awards may 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 per RSU of $37.07.
Since April 2007, grants of equity awards to TWC employees have been and will continue to
be made by TWC under TWCs equity plans.

8. BENEFIT PLANS
Time Warner and certain of its subsidiaries have both funded and unfunded noncontributory
defined benefit pension plans covering a majority of domestic employees and, to a lesser extent,
have various defined benefit plans covering international employees. Pension benefits are based on
formulas that reflect the employees years of service and compensation during their employment
period and participation in the plans. Time Warner 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 recognized by substantially all of Time Warners domestic and international defined
benefit pension plans for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2007 and 2006 is as follows

(a) |
|
On August 1, 2007, the former employees of Adelphia and Comcast that became
employees of TWC became eligible to participate in the TWC 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 at the Cable segment and at the Company 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. |
Expected Cash Flows
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 for domestic funded plans and no discretionary or noncash contributions are
currently planned. For domestic unfunded plans, contributions will continue to be made to the
extent benefits are paid. Expected benefit payments for domestic unfunded plans for 2007 are
approximately $18 million.

9. MERGER, RESTRUCTURING AND SHUTDOWN COSTS
In accordance with GAAP, Time Warner generally treats merger costs relating to business
acquisitions as additional purchase price paid. However, certain merger costs do not meet the
criteria for capitalization and are expensed as incurred as they either relate to the operations of
the acquirer or otherwise did not qualify as a liability or cost assumed in an acquisition. In
addition, the Company has incurred restructuring and shutdown costs unrelated to business
acquisitions which are expensed as incurred.
Merger Costs Capitalized as a Cost of Acquisition
During 2006, the Company acquired the remaining 50% interest in Courtroom Television Network
LLC (Court TV) that it did not already own from Liberty. In connection with the 2006 acquisition
of the additional Court TV interest, the Company incurred approximately $59 million in
capitalizable merger costs (of which $2 million and $7 million were incurred for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2007, respectively, with a corresponding increase in goodwill, as employee
terminations and other exit costs were higher than originally estimated). These costs included
approximately $36 million related to employee termination costs and approximately $23 million for
various exit costs, including lease terminations. Employee termination costs ranged from senior
executive to line personnel. Payments of $40 million ($34 million was paid in 2006) have been made
against this accrual as of June 30, 2007 ($2 million and $6 million was paid against this liability
for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively, and of the $34 million paid in
2006, $11 million was paid for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006).
As of June 30, 2007, there was also a remaining liability of approximately $23 million related
to the AOL-Historic TW merger.
As of June 30, 2007, out of the remaining liability of $42 million for all capitalized merger
costs, $9 million was classified as a current liability, with the remaining $33 million classified
as a long-term liability in the consolidated balance sheet. Amounts relating to these
liabilities are expected to be paid through 2014.
Merger, Restructuring and Shutdown Costs Expensed as Incurred
Merger, restructuring and shutdown costs that were expensed as incurred for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 are as follows (millions):

Adelphia/Comcast Transactions Merger-Related Costs
Through the end of 2006, the Company incurred non-capitalizable merger-related costs at the

relate to consulting fees concerning integration planning as well as employee terminations. For the
three and six months ended June 30, 2007, the Company incurred an additional $3 million and $7
million, respectively, in non-capitalizable merger-related costs. Of the $46 million incurred
through the end of 2006, $7 million and $11 million were incurred during the three and six months
ended June 30, 2006, respectively (see Note 2).
2007 Restructuring Costs
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, the Company incurred restructuring costs of
approximately $28 million and $88 million, respectively, primarily related to various employee
terminations and other exit activities, including $2 million and $21 million, respectively, at the
AOL segment, $3 million and $9 million, respectively, at the Cable segment and $7 million and $42
million, respectively, at the Publishing segment, which includes $9 million of shutdown costs

2006 and Prior Restructuring and Shutdown Costs
During the years ended 2006, 2005 and 2004, the Company incurred restructuring and shutdown
costs related to various employee and contractual terminations totaling $521 million. In connection
with the 2006 and prior restructuring and shutdown costs, employee termination costs occurred
across each of the segments and ranged from senior executives to line personnel. For the three and
six months ended June 30, 2007, the Company incurred additional restructuring costs of $2 million
and $6 million, respectively, at the AOL segment as a result of changes in estimates of these
previously established restructuring accruals. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2006,
the Company incurred restructuring costs of $95 million and $121 million, respectively. The 2006
initiatives primarily related to various employee terminations totaling approximately $41 million

million at the AOL segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, $4 million and $10
million, respectively, at the Cable segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, $22
million and $34 million, respectively, at the Publishing segment for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2006 and $5 million at the Corporate segment for the six months ended June 30, 2006. In
addition, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, the Company incurred $2 million and $5
million, respectively, of additional restructuring charges ($2 million and $4 million,
respectively, at the Filmed Entertainment segment and $1 million for the six months ended June 30,
2006 at the AOL segment) as a result of changes in estimates of previously established
restructuring accruals.
The results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 include shutdown costs of $81
million at The WB Network in connection with the agreement between Warner Bros. and CBS to form The
CW. Included in the shutdown costs are termination charges related to terminating intercompany
programming arrangements with other Time Warner divisions, of which $29 million has been eliminated
in consolidation, resulting in a net pretax charge of $52 million.

Intersegment Revenues
In the normal course of business, the Time Warner segments enter into transactions with one
another. The most common types of intersegment transactions include:
|
|
|
The Filmed Entertainment segment generating Content revenues by licensing television and
theatrical programming to the Networks segment; |
|
|
|
|
The Networks segment generating Subscription revenues by selling cable network
programming to the Cable segment; and |
|
|
|
|
The AOL, Cable, Networks and Publishing segments generating Advertising revenues by
promoting the products and services of other Time Warner segments. |
These intersegment transactions are recorded by each segment at estimated fair value as if the
transactions were with third parties and, therefore, impact segment performance. While intersegment
transactions are treated like third-party transactions to determine segment performance, the
revenues (and corresponding expenses or assets recognized by the segment that is counterparty to
the transaction) are eliminated in consolidation and, therefore, do not themselves impact
consolidated results. Additionally, transactions between divisions within the same reporting
segment (e.g., a transaction between HBO and Turner within the Networks segment) are eliminated in
arriving at segment performance and, therefore, do not themselves impact segment results. Revenues
recognized by Time Warners segments on intersegment transactions are as follows:

Contingencies
Securities Matters
Consolidated Securities Class Action
During the Summer and Fall of 2002, 30 shareholder class action lawsuits were filed naming as
defendants the Company, certain current and former executives of the Company and, in several
instances, AOL. These lawsuits were filed in U.S. District Courts for the Southern District of New
York, the Eastern District of Virginia and the Eastern District of Texas. The complaints purported
to be made on behalf of certain shareholders of the Company and alleged that the Company made
material misrepresentations and/or omissions of material fact in violation of Section 10(b) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act), Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, and
Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act. Plaintiffs claimed that the Company failed to disclose AOLs
declining advertising revenues and that the Company and AOL inappropriately inflated advertising
revenues in a series of transactions. Certain of the lawsuits also alleged that certain of the
individual defendants and other insiders at the Company improperly sold their personal holdings of
Time Warner stock, that the Company failed to disclose that the January 2001 merger of America
Online, Inc. (now AOL LLC) and Time Warner Inc., now known as Historic TW Inc. (Historic TW) (the
Merger or the AOL-Historic TW Merger), was not generating the synergies anticipated at the time
of the announcement of the merger and, further, that the Company inappropriately delayed writing
down more than $50 billion of goodwill. The lawsuits sought an unspecified amount in compensatory
damages. All of these lawsuits were centralized in the U.S. District Court for the Southern
District of New York for coordinated or consolidated pretrial proceedings (along with the federal
derivative lawsuits and certain lawsuits brought under ERISA described below) under the caption In
re AOL Time Warner Inc. Securities and ERISA Litigation.
The Minnesota State Board of Investment (MSBI) was designated lead plaintiff for the
consolidated securities actions and filed a consolidated amended complaint on April 15, 2003,
adding additional defendants including additional officers and directors of the Company, Morgan
Stanley & Co., Salomon Smith Barney Inc., Citigroup Inc., Banc of America Securities LLC and JP
Morgan Chase & Co. Plaintiffs also added additional allegations, including that the Company made
material misrepresentations in its registration statements and joint proxy statement-prospectus
related to the AOL-Historic TW Merger and in its registration statements pursuant to which debt
securities were issued in April 2001 and April 2002, allegedly in violation of Section 11 and
Section 12 of the Securities Act of 1933. On July 14, 2003, the defendants filed a motion to
dismiss the consolidated amended complaint. On May 5, 2004, the district court granted in part the
defendants motion, dismissing all claims with respect to the registration statements pursuant to
which debt securities were issued in April 2001 and April 2002 and certain other claims against
other defendants, but otherwise allowing the remaining claims against the Company and certain other
defendants to proceed. On August 11, 2004, the court granted MSBIs motion to file a second amended
complaint. On July 30, 2004, defendants filed a motion for summary judgment on the basis that
plaintiffs could not establish loss causation for any of their claims, and thus plaintiffs did not
have any recoverable damages. On April 8, 2005, MSBI moved for leave to file a third amended
complaint to add certain new factual allegations and four additional individual defendants.
In July 2005, the Company reached an agreement in principle with MSBI for the settlement of
the consolidated securities actions. The settlement is reflected in a written agreement between the
lead plaintiff and the Company. On September 30, 2005, the court issued an order granting
preliminary approval of the settlement and certified the settlement class. The court issued an
order dated April 6, 2006 granting final approval of the settlement, and the time to appeal that
decision has expired. In connection with reaching the agreement in principle on the securities
class action, the Company established a reserve of $3 billion during the second quarter of 2005
reflecting the MSBI settlement and other pending related shareholder and ERISA litigation. Pursuant
to the MSBI settlement, in October 2005, Time Warner paid $2.4 billion into a settlement fund (the
MSBI Settlement Fund) for the members of the class represented in the action, and Ernst & Young
LLP paid $100 million. In connection with the settlement, the $150 million previously paid by Time
Warner into a fund in connection with the settlement of the investigation by the DOJ was
transferred to the MSBI Settlement Fund. In addition, the $300 million the Company previously paid
in connection with the settlement of its SEC investigation will be distributed to investors through
the MSBI settlement process pursuant to an order issued by the U.S. District Court for the
60

District
of Columbia on July 11, 2006. On October 27, 2006, the court awarded to plaintiffs counsel fees in
the amount of $147.5 million and reimbursement for expenses in the amount of $3.4 million, plus interest
accrued on such amounts since October 7, 2005, the date the Company paid $2.4 billion into the MSBI
Settlement Fund; these amounts are to be paid from the MSBI Settlement Fund. On May 2, 2007, the
court entered an order directing an initial distribution of these funds. Administration of the MSBI
settlement is ongoing. Settlements also have been reached in many of the additional related cases,
including the ERISA and derivative actions, as described below.
Other Related Securities Litigation Matters
During the Fall of 2002 and Winter of 2003, three putative class action lawsuits were filed
alleging violations of ERISA in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on
behalf of current and former participants in the Time Warner Savings Plan, the Time Warner Thrift
Plan and/or the TWC Savings Plan (the Plans). Collectively, these lawsuits named as defendants
the Company, certain current and former directors and officers of the Company and members of the
Administrative Committees of the Plans. The lawsuits alleged that the Company and other defendants
breached certain fiduciary duties to plan participants by, inter alia, continuing to offer Time
Warner stock as an investment under the Plans, and by failing to disclose, among other things, that
the Company was experiencing declining advertising revenues and that the Company was
inappropriately inflating advertising revenues through various transactions. The complaints sought
unspecified damages and unspecified equitable relief. The ERISA actions were consolidated as part
of the In re AOL Time Warner Inc. Securities and ERISA Litigation described above. On July 3,
2003, plaintiffs filed a consolidated amended complaint naming additional defendants, including
TWE, certain current and former officers, directors and employees of the Company and Fidelity
Management Trust Company. On September 12, 2003, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the
consolidated ERISA complaint. On March 9, 2005, the court granted in part and denied in part the
Companys motion to dismiss. The court dismissed two individual defendants and TWE for all
purposes, dismissed other individuals with respect to claims plaintiffs had asserted involving the
TWC Savings Plan, and dismissed all individuals who were named in a claim asserting that their
stock sales had constituted a breach of fiduciary duty to the Plans. The parties reached an
agreement to resolve this matter in 2006 and the court granted preliminary approval of the
settlement in an opinion dated May 1, 2006. A final approval hearing was held on July 19, 2006, and
the court granted final approval of the settlement in an opinion dated September 27, 2006. On
October 25, 2006, one of the objectors to this settlement filed a notice of appeal of this
decision; pursuant to a settlement agreement between the parties in a related securities matter,
that objector subsequently withdrew his notice of appeal, and the time to appeal has expired. The
court has yet to rule on plaintiffs petition for attorneys fees and expenses.
During the Summer and Fall of 2002, 11 shareholder derivative lawsuits were filed naming as
defendants certain current and former directors and officers of the Company, as well as the Company
as a nominal defendant. Three were filed in New York State Supreme Court for the County of New
York, four were filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York and four
were filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware for New Castle County. The complaints
alleged that defendants breached their fiduciary duties by causing the Company to issue corporate
statements that did not accurately represent that AOL had declining advertising revenues and by
failing to conduct adequate due diligence in connection with the AOL-Historic TW Merger, that the
AOL-Historic TW Merger was not generating the synergies anticipated at the time of the announcement
of the merger, and that the Company inappropriately delayed writing down more than $50 billion of
goodwill, thereby exposing the Company to potential liability for alleged violations of federal
securities laws. The lawsuits further alleged that certain of the defendants improperly sold their
personal holdings of Time Warner securities. The lawsuits requested that (i) all proceeds from
defendants sales of Time Warner common stock, (ii) all expenses incurred by the Company as a
result of the defense of the shareholder class actions discussed above and (iii) any improper
salaries or payments be returned to the Company. The four lawsuits filed in the Court of Chancery
for the State of Delaware for New Castle County were consolidated under the caption, In re AOL Time
Warner Inc. Derivative Litigation. A consolidated complaint was filed on March 7, 2003 in that
action, and on June 9, 2003, the Company filed a notice of motion to dismiss the consolidated
complaint. On May 2, 2003, the three lawsuits filed in New York State Supreme Court for the County
of New York were dismissed on forum non conveniens grounds, and plaintiffs time to appeal has
expired. The four lawsuits pending in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York
were centralized for coordinated or consolidated pre-trial proceedings with the securities and
ERISA lawsuits described above under the caption In re AOL Time Warner Inc. Securities and ERISA
Litigation. On October 6, 2004, plaintiffs filed an amended consolidated complaint in three of
these four cases. On April 20, 2006, plaintiffs in the four lawsuits filed in the Court of Chancery
of the State of Delaware for New Castle County filed a new complaint in the U.S. District Court for
the Southern District of New York. The parties to all of these actions subsequently reached an
agreement to resolve all
61

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
remaining matters in 2006, and the federal district court in New York
granted preliminary approval of the settlement in an opinion dated May 10, 2006. A final approval
hearing was held on June 28, 2006, and the court granted final approval of
the settlement in an opinion dated September 6, 2006. The time to appeal that decision has
expired. The court has yet to rule on plaintiffs petition for attorneys fees and expenses.
During the Summer and Fall of 2002, several lawsuits brought by individual shareholders were
filed in various federal jurisdictions, and in late 2005 and early 2006, numerous additional
shareholders determined to opt-out of the settlement reached in the consolidated federal
securities class action described above, and many have since filed federal lawsuits. The claims
alleged in these actions are substantially identical to the claims alleged in the consolidated
federal securities class action described above, and all of these cases have been transferred to
the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York for coordinated or consolidated
pre-trial proceedings. As previously disclosed, most of these cases have been settled; the
aggregate amount for which the Company has settled these lawsuits as well as related lawsuits is
described below. In addition, on May 23, 2007, the court dismissed one of the remaining opt-out
actions, Puttick v. America Online, Inc., et al., on statute of limitations grounds. The Company
intends to defend against the remaining lawsuits vigorously.
On November 11, 2002, Staro Asset Management, LLC filed a putative class action complaint in
the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on behalf of certain purchasers of
Reliant 2.0% Zero-Premium Exchangeable Subordinated Notes for alleged violations of the federal
securities laws. Plaintiff is a purchaser of subordinated notes, the price of which was purportedly
tied to the market value of Time Warner stock. Plaintiff alleges that the Company made
misstatements and/or omissions of material fact that artificially inflated the value of Time Warner
stock and directly affected the price of the notes. Plaintiff seeks compensatory damages and/or
rescission. This lawsuit has been consolidated for coordinated pretrial proceedings under the
caption In re AOL Time Warner Inc. Securities and ERISA Litigation described above. The Company
intends to defend against this lawsuit vigorously.
On November 15, 2002, the California State Teachers Retirement System filed an amended
consolidated complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California on behalf
of a putative class of purchasers of stock in Homestore.com, Inc. (Homestore). Plaintiff alleged
that Homestore engaged in a scheme to defraud its shareholders in violation of Section 10(b) of the
Exchange Act. The Company and two former employees of its AOL division were named as defendants in
the amended consolidated complaint because of their alleged participation in the scheme through
certain advertising transactions entered into with Homestore. Motions to dismiss filed by the
Company and the two former employees were granted on March 7, 2003, and a final judgment of
dismissal was entered on March 8, 2004. On April 7, 2004, plaintiff filed a notice of appeal in the
Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. The Ninth Circuit heard oral argument on this appeal on February 6,
2006 and issued an opinion on June 30, 2006 affirming the lower courts decision and remanding the
case to the district court for further proceedings. On September 28, 2006, plaintiff filed a motion
for leave to amend the complaint, and on December 18, 2006, the court held a hearing and denied
plaintiffs motion. In addition, on October 20, 2006, the Company joined its co-defendants in
filing a petition for certiorari with the Supreme Court of the United States, seeking
reconsideration of the Ninth Circuits decision. In December 2006, the Company reached an agreement
with plaintiff to settle its claims against the Company and its former employees. The aggregate
amount for which the Company has agreed to settle this as well as related lawsuits is described
below. The settlement agreement will be subject to preliminary and final approval by the district
court. There can be no assurance that the settlement will receive either preliminary or final court
approval.
On April 30, 2004, a second amended complaint was filed in the U.S. District Court for the
District of Nevada on behalf of a putative class of purchasers of stock in PurchasePro.com, Inc.
(PurchasePro). Plaintiffs alleged that PurchasePro engaged in a scheme to defraud its
shareholders in violation of Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act. The Company and four former
officers and employees were added as defendants in the second amended complaint and were alleged to
have participated in the scheme through certain advertising transactions entered into with
PurchasePro. Three similar putative class actions had previously been filed against the Company,
AOL and certain former officers and employees, and were consolidated with the Nevada action. On
February 17, 2005, the judge in the consolidated action granted the Companys motion to dismiss the
second amended complaint with prejudice. The parties have agreed to settle this matter. The court
granted preliminary approval of the proposed settlement in an order dated July 18, 2006 and granted
final approval of the settlement in an order dated October 10, 2006. The administration of the
settlement is ongoing. The aggregate amount for which the Company has settled this as well as
related lawsuits is described below.

TIME WARNER INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
During the fourth quarter of 2006, the Company established an additional reserve of $600
million related to its remaining securities litigation matters described above, bringing the
reserve for unresolved claims to approximately $620 million at December 31, 2006. The prior reserve
aggregating $3.0 billion established in the second quarter of 2005 had been substantially utilized
as a result of the settlements resolving many of the other shareholder lawsuits that had been
pending
against the Company, including settlements entered into during the fourth quarter of 2006.
During the first and second quarters of 2007, the Company reached agreements to settle
substantially all of the remaining securities litigation claims, a substantial portion of which had
been reserved for at December 31, 2006. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, the
Company recorded charges of approximately $1 million and $153 million, respectively, for these
settlements. At June 30, 2007, the Companys remaining reserve related to these matters is
approximately $17 million, including approximately $8 million that has been reserved for an
expected attorneys fee award related to a previously settled matter. The Company believes the
potential exposure in the securities litigation matters that remain pending at June 30, 2007 to be
de minimis.
Other Matters
Warner Bros. (South) Inc. (WBS), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, is litigating
numerous tax cases in Brazil. WBS currently is the theatrical distribution licensee for Warner
Bros. Entertainment Nederlands (Warner Bros.) in Brazil and acts as a service provider to the
Warner Bros. home video licensee. All of the ongoing tax litigation involves WBS distribution
activities prior to January 2004, when WBS conducted both theatrical and home video distribution.
Much of the tax litigation stems from WBS position that in distributing videos to rental
retailers, it was conducting a distribution service, subject to a municipal service tax, and not
the industrialization or sale of videos, subject to Brazilian federal and state VAT-like taxes.
Both the federal tax authorities and the State of Sao Paulo, where WBS is based, have challenged
this position. In June 2007, WBS received an adverse ruling in a case pending before the Superior
Court concerning sales tax allegedly owed on assignments of films to video rental stores. WBS has
requested reconsideration of this decision. In some additional tax cases, WBS, often together with
other film distributors, is challenging the imposition of taxes on royalties remitted outside of
Brazil and the constitutionality of certain taxes. The Company intends to defend all of these
various tax cases vigorously, but is unable to predict the outcome of these suits.
On October 8, 2004, certain heirs of Jerome Siegel, one of the creators of the Superman
character, filed suit against the Company, DC Comics and Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc. in the
U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. Plaintiffs complaint seeks an
accounting and demands up to one-half of the profits made on Superman since the alleged April 16,
1999 termination by plaintiffs of Siegels grants of one-half of the rights to the Superman
character to DC Comics predecessor-in-interest. Plaintiffs have also asserted various Lanham Act
and unfair competition claims, alleging wasting of the Superman property by DC Comics and failure
to accord credit to Siegel. The Company answered the complaint and filed counterclaims on November
11, 2004, to which plaintiffs replied on January 7, 2005. On April 30, 2007, the Company filed
motions for partial summary judgment on various issues, including the unavailability of accounting
for pre-termination and foreign works. The Company intends to defend against this lawsuit
vigorously, but is unable to predict its outcome.
On October 22, 2004, the same Siegel heirs filed a second lawsuit against the Company, DC
Comics, Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc., Warner Communications Inc. and Warner Bros. Television
Production Inc. in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. Plaintiffs claim
that Jerome Siegel was the sole creator of the character Superboy and, as such, DC Comics has had
no right to create new Superboy works since the alleged October 17, 2004 termination by plaintiffs
of Siegels grants of rights to the Superboy character to DC Comics predecessor-in-interest. This
lawsuit seeks a declaration regarding the validity of the alleged termination and an injunction
against future use of the Superboy character. Plaintiffs have also asserted Lanham Act and unfair
competition claims alleging false statements by DC Comics regarding the creation of the Superboy
character. The Company answered the complaint and filed counterclaims on December 21, 2004, to
which plaintiffs replied on January 7, 2005. The case was consolidated for discovery purposes with
the Superman action described immediately above. The parties filed cross-motions for summary
judgment or partial summary judgment on February 15, 2006. In its ruling dated March 23, 2006, the
court denied the Companys motion for summary judgment, granted plaintiffs motion for partial
summary judgment on termination and held that further proceedings are necessary to determine
whether the Companys Smallville television series may infringe on plaintiffs rights to the
Superboy character. On January 12, 2007, the Company filed a motion for reconsideration of the
courts decision granting plaintiffs motion for partial summary judgment on termination. On April
30, 2007, the Company filed a motion for summary judgment on
non-infringement of Smallville. On July 27, 2007, the court
granted the Companys motion for reconsideration, reversing the bulk
of the March 23, 2006 ruling, and requested additional briefing on
certain issues. The Companys motion for summary judgment is pending. The Company intends to defend against this lawsuit vigorously, but is unable
to predict its outcome.

On May 24, 1999, two former AOL Community Leader volunteers filed Hallissey et al. v. America
Online, Inc. in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. This lawsuit was
brought as a collective action under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and as a class action
under New York state law against AOL and AOL Community, Inc. The plaintiffs allege that, in serving as Community Leader volunteers, they were acting as
employees rather than volunteers for purposes of the FLSA and New York state law and are entitled
to minimum wages. On December 8, 2000, defendants filed a motion to dismiss on the ground that the
plaintiffs were volunteers and not employees covered by the FLSA. On March 10, 2006, the court
denied defendants motion to dismiss. On May 11, 2006, plaintiffs filed a motion under the Fair
Labor Standards Act asking the court to notify former community leaders nationwide about the
lawsuit and allow those community leaders the opportunity to join the lawsuit. A related case was
filed by several of the Hallissey plaintiffs in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District
of New York alleging violations of the retaliation provisions of the FLSA. This case was stayed
pending the outcome of the Hallissey motion to dismiss and has not yet been activated. Three
related class actions have been filed in state courts in New Jersey, California and Ohio, alleging
violations of the FLSA and/or the respective state laws. The New Jersey and Ohio cases were removed
to federal court and subsequently transferred to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District
of New York for consolidated pretrial proceedings with Hallissey. The California action was
remanded to California state court, and on January 6, 2004 the court denied plaintiffs motion for
class certification. Plaintiffs appealed the trial courts denial of their motion for class
certification to the California Court of Appeals. On May 26, 2005, a three-justice panel of the
California Court of Appeals unanimously affirmed the trial courts order denying class
certification. The plaintiffs petition for review in the California Supreme Court was denied. The
Company has settled the remaining individual claims in the California action. The Company intends
to defend against the remaining lawsuits vigorously, but is unable to predict the outcome of these
suits.
On January 17, 2002, Community Leader volunteers filed a class action lawsuit in the U.S.
District Court for the Southern District of New York against the Company, AOL and AOL Community,
Inc. under ERISA. Plaintiffs allege that they are entitled to pension and/or welfare benefits
and/or other employee benefits subject to ERISA. In March 2003, plaintiffs filed and served a
second amended complaint, adding as defendants the Companys Administrative Committee and the AOL
Administrative Committee. On May 19, 2003, the Company, AOL and AOL Community, Inc. filed a motion
to dismiss and the Administrative Committees filed a motion for judgment on the pleadings. Both of
these motions are pending. The Company intends to defend against these lawsuits vigorously, but is
unable to predict the outcome of these suits.
On August 1, 2005, Thomas Dreiling filed a derivative suit in the U.S. District Court for the
Western District of Washington against AOL and Infospace Inc. as nominal defendant. The complaint,
brought in the name of Infospace by one if its shareholders, asserts violations of Section 16(b) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Plaintiff alleges that certain AOL executives and the founder
of Infospace, Naveen Jain, entered into an agreement to manipulate Infospaces stock price through
the exercise of warrants that AOL had received in connection with a commercial agreement with
Infospace. Because of this alleged agreement, plaintiff asserts that AOL and Mr. Jain constituted a
group that held more than 10% of Infospaces stock and, as a result, AOL violated the short-swing
trading prohibition of Section 16(b) in connection with sales of shares received from the exercise
of those warrants. The complaint seeks disgorgement of profits, interest and attorneys fees. On
September 26, 2005, AOL filed a motion to dismiss the complaint for failure to state a claim, which
was denied by the court on December 5, 2005. The case is scheduled for trial starting in January of
2008. The Company intends to defend against this lawsuit vigorously, but is unable to predict the
outcome of this suit or reasonably estimate the range of possible loss.
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 AOL, among other
defendants, infringe a number of patents purportedly relating to 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 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 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 nation-wide 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
64
TIME WARNER INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
their privacy rights in
violation of the Cable Communications Policy Act of 1984 and common law. The plaintiffs seek
damages and declaratory and injunctive relief. On August 6, 1998, TWE filed a motion to dismiss,
which was denied on September 7, 1999. On December 8, 1999, TWE filed a motion to deny class
certification, which was granted on January 9, 2001 with respect to monetary damages, but denied
with respect to injunctive relief. On June 2, 2003, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second
Circuit vacated the District Courts decision denying class certification as a matter of law and
remanded the case for further proceedings on class certification and other matters. On May 4,
2004, plaintiffs filed a motion for class certification, which the Company opposed. On October 25,
2005, the court granted preliminary approval of a class settlement arrangement on terms that were
not material to the Company. A final settlement approval hearing was held on May 19, 2006, and on
January 26, 2007, the court denied approval of the settlement. The Company intends to defend
against this lawsuit vigorously, but is unable to predict the outcome of this suit.
On October 20, 2005, a group of syndicate participants, including BNZ Investments Limited,
filed three related actions in the High Court of New Zealand, Auckland Registry, against New Line
Cinema Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and its subsidiary, New Line
Productions Inc. (collectively, New Line). The complaints allege breach of contract, breach of
duties of good faith and fair dealing, and other common law and statutory claims under California
and New Zealand law. Plaintiffs contend, among other things, they have not received proceeds from
certain financing transactions they entered into with New Line relating to three motion pictures:
The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring; The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers; and The
Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. The parties to these actions have agreed that all claims
will be heard before a single arbitrator, who has been selected, before the International Court for
Arbitration, and the proceedings before the High Court of New Zealand have been dismissed without
prejudice. The arbitration is scheduled to begin in September 2008. The Company intends to defend
against these proceedings vigorously, but is unable to predict the outcome of the proceedings.
On December 22, 2006, AOL Europe Services SARL (AOL Luxembourg), a wholly owned subsidiary
of AOL organized under the laws of Luxembourg, received an assessment from the French tax
authorities for 34 million (approximately $44 million) for value added tax (VAT) due in
France, including interest, related to subscription revenues from French subscribers earned from
July 1, 2003 through December 31, 2003. The French tax authorities claim that these revenues are
subject to French VAT, instead of Luxembourg VAT, as originally reported and paid by AOL. The
Company intends to defend against this assessment vigorously, but is unable to predict the outcome
of the proceedings. AOL Luxembourg also could receive similar assessments from the French tax
authorities in the future for subscription revenues earned in 2004 through 2006, which assessment
could total up to 72 million (approximately $94 million), including interest.
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 Time
Warner 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.
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.

The six months ended June 30, 2007 excludes $440 million of common stock repurchased or due
from Liberty, indirectly attributable to the exchange of the Braves and Leisure Arts. Specifically,
the $440 million represents the fair value of the Braves and Leisure Arts of $473 million, less a
$33 million working capital adjustment.
In addition, the consolidated statement of cash flows does not reflect approximately $46
million of common stock repurchases that were included in Other current liabilities at June 30,
2007, but for which payment was not made until the third quarter of 2007 and approximately $120
million of common stock repurchases that were included in Other current liabilities at December 31,
2006 but for which payment was not made until the first quarter of 2007.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
TW AOL Holdings Inc. (TW AOL Holdings), Historic TW Inc. (Historic TW), Time Warner
Companies, Inc. (TW Companies) and Turner Broadcasting System, Inc. (TBS and, together with TW
AOL Holdings, Historic TW and TW Companies, the Guarantor Subsidiaries) are wholly owned
subsidiaries of Time Warner Inc. (Time Warner). The Guarantor Subsidiaries have fully and
unconditionally, jointly and severally, directly or indirectly, guaranteed, on an unsecured basis,
the debt issued by Time Warner in its November 2006 public offering.
The Securities and Exchange Commissions rules require that condensed consolidating financial
information be provided for a certain period of time for wholly owned subsidiaries that have
guaranteed debt of a registrant issued in a public offering, where each such guarantee is full and
unconditional. Set forth below are condensed consolidating financial statements of Time Warner
presenting the results of operations, financial position and cash flows of (i) Time Warner, (ii)
the Guarantor Subsidiaries on a combined basis because such guarantees are joint and several, (iii)
the direct and indirect non-guarantor subsidiaries of Time Warner on a combined basis and (iv) the
eliminations necessary to arrive at the information for Time Warner on a consolidated basis.
Investments in the consolidated subsidiaries of Time Warner and the Guarantor Subsidiaries are, in
each case, reflected under the equity method of accounting. There are no restrictions on Time
Warners ability to obtain funds from any of its wholly owned subsidiaries through dividends, loans
or advances. These condensed consolidating financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the consolidated financial statements of Time Warner. Beginning in 2007, Time Warner changed its
method of allocating Corporate overhead expenses for purposes of preparing these condensed
consolidating financial statements. Specifically, Time Warner no longer allocates these expenses to
the Guarantor and Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries, but they instead are reflected as expenses of Time
Warner as the Issuer.

Part II. Other Information
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
Securities Matters
Consolidated Securities Class Action
Reference is made to the consolidated securities class action described on pages 51-52 of the
Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 (the 2006 Form 10-K).
On May, 2, 2007, the court entered an order directing an initial distribution of funds from the
previously established settlement fund for the consolidated securities actions. Administration of
the settlement is ongoing.
Other Related Securities Litigation Matters
Reference is made to the shareholder derivative, ERISA and individual securities matters
described on pages 52-56 of the 2006 Form 10-K and page 68 of the Companys Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 (the March 2007 Form 10-Q). At June 30, 2007, the
Companys remaining reserve related to these matters is approximately $17 million, including
approximately $8 million that has been reserved for an expected attorneys fee award related to a
previously settled matter. The Company believes the potential exposure in the securities litigation
matters that remain pending at June 30, 2007 to be de minimis.
Other Matters
Reference is made to the Warner Brothers (South) Inc. (WBS) tax cases in Brazil described on
page 57 of the 2006 Form 10-K. In June 2007, WBS received an adverse ruling in a case pending
before the Superior Court concerning sales tax allegedly owed on assignments of films to video
rental stores. WBS has requested reconsideration of this decision.
Reference is made to the lawsuit filed by certain heirs of Jerome Siegel against the Company, DC
Comics, Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc., Warner Communications Inc. and Warner Bros. Television
Production Inc. in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California described on page
57 of the 2006 Form 10-K. On July 27, 2007, the court granted the Companys motion for
reconsideration of the courts decision granting plaintiffs motion for partial summary judgment on
termination, reversing the bulk of the March 23, 2006 ruling, and requested additional briefing on
certain issues. The Companys motion for summary judgment is still pending.
Reference is made to the lawsuit filed by Thomas Dreiling described on page 58 of the 2006
Form 10-K. This case is now scheduled for trial starting in January of 2008.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
Company Purchases of Equity Securities
On May 16, 2007, the Company and Liberty Media Corporation (Liberty) completed a transaction
in which Liberty exchanged 18,784,759 shares of the Companys Series LMCN-V Common Stock and
49,712,526 shares of the Companys Common Stock (including 4,000,000 shares expected to be
delivered to the Company upon the resolution of a working capital adjustment) for a subsidiary of
the Company that owned the Atlanta Braves baseball franchise, Leisure Arts, Inc. and cash (the
Liberty Transaction). The shares of Series LMCN-V Common Stock and the shares of Common Stock are
included within the Stock Repurchase Program described in footnote 3 below. The shares of Series
LMCN-V Common Stock, which were convertible to Common Stock on a share-for-share basis, were not
registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act and, therefore, are not included in the amounts set
forth in the table below. In addition, the 4,000,000 shares of Common Stock are not included in the
amounts set forth in the table below as they have not yet been delivered to the Company.
The following table provides information about purchases by the Company during the quarter
ended June 30, 2007 of equity securities registered by the Company pursuant to Section 12 of the
Exchange Act.

The total number of shares purchased includes (a) shares of Common Stock purchased
by the Company under the Stock Repurchase Program, and (b) shares of Common Stock that are
tendered by employees to the Company to satisfy the employees tax withholding obligations in
connection with the vesting of awards of restricted stock, which are repurchased by the
Company based on their fair market value on the vesting date. The number of shares of Common
Stock purchased by the Company in connection with the vesting of such awards totaled 2,315
shares, 0 shares and 486 shares, respectively, for the months of April, May and June. |

|
The calculation of the average price paid per share does not give effect to any
fees, commissions or other costs associated with the repurchase of such shares. |

On August 3, 2005, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had authorized
a Common Stock repurchase program that allows the Company to repurchase, from time to time, up
to $5 billion of Common Stock over a two-year period (the Stock Repurchase Program). On
November 2, 2005, the Company announced the increase of the amount that may be repurchased
under the Stock Repurchase Program to an aggregate of up to $12.5 billion of Common Stock. In
addition, on February 17, 2006, the Company announced a further increase of the amount of the
Stock Repurchase Program and the extension of the programs ending date. Under the extended
program, the Company has authority to repurchase up to an aggregate of $20 billion of Common
Stock during the period from July 29, 2005 through December 31, 2007. Purchases under the
Stock Repurchase Program may be made from time to time on the open market and in privately
negotiated transactions. The size and timing of these purchases will be based on a number of
factors including price and business and market conditions. In the past, the Company has
repurchased shares of Common Stock pursuant to trading programs under Rule 10b5-1 promulgated
under the Exchange Act, and it may repurchase shares of Common Stock under such trading
programs in the future. |
|
|
|
On August 1, 2007, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had authorized a new stock
repurchase program that allows Time Warner to repurchase, from time to time, up to $5 billion of
Common Stock (the New Stock Repurchase Program). Purchases under the New Stock Repurchase
Program may be made from time to time on the open market and in privately negotiated
transactions. The size and timing of these purchases will be based on a number of factors
including price and business and market conditions. In the past, the Company has repurchased
shares of Common Stock pursuant to trading programs under Rule 10b5-1, and it may repurchase
shares of Common Stock under such trading programs in the future. |

|
This amount does not reflect (i) the dollar value of the 18,784,759 shares of Series
LMCN-V Common Stock received by the Company on May 16, 2007 in
the Liberty Transaction, which
were acquired as part of the Stock Repurchase Program, (ii) the dollar value of the 4,000,000
shares of Common Stock that are subject to the working capital adjustment in the Liberty
Transaction, and (iii) the fees, commissions and other costs associated with the Stock
Repurchase Program. If these amounts were reflected in this table, the approximate dollar
value of shares that may yet be purchased under the Stock Repurchase Program would have
equaled approximately $50 million. This amount also does not give effect to the approximate
dollar value of shares that may be purchased under the New Stock Repurchase Program. |

Item 5. Other Information
On July 26, 2007, the Companys Board of Directors amended the Companys By-laws. As
previously reported by the Company on its Current Report on Form 8-K dated May 30, 2007, the
Company filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a Certificate of Amendment to
the Companys Restated Certificate of Incorporation to eliminate certain super-majority vote
requirements for stockholders to amend the Companys By-laws. The amendment to the Companys
By-laws conforms the By-laws to the Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended. The
amendment to the By-laws amended Article XI to eliminate the 80% super-majority vote requirement
for stockholders to amend the Companys By-laws and replaced it with a majority vote standard that
allows holders of a majority or more of the combined voting power of the outstanding shares of all
classes and series of capital stock entitled generally to vote in the election of directors, voting
together as a single class, to alter, amend, or repeal the Companys By-laws or to adopt new
By-laws. A copy of the By-laws, as amended, is filed as Exhibit 3.5 to this report.
On July 27, 2007, the Company filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware two
Certificates of Elimination to the Companys Restated Certificate of Incorporation. The
Certificates of Elimination became effective upon filing. One Certificate of Elimination
eliminated from the Companys Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, the Certificate of
the Voting Powers, Designations, Preferences and Relative, Participating, Optional or Other Special
Rights and Qualifications, Limitations or Restrictions Thereof of the Companys Series LMC Common
Stock. The second Certificate of Elimination eliminated from the Companys Restated Certificate of
Incorporation, as amended, the Certificate of the Voting Powers, Designations, Preferences and
Relative, Participating, Optional or Other Special Rights and Qualifications, Limitations or
Restrictions Thereof of the Companys Series LMCN-V Common Stock. The Series LMCN-V Common Stock
and Series LMC Common Stock were established by Historic TW Inc. in 1996 to address conditions
imposed by the Federal Trade Commission on shares to be received by Liberty as consideration for
the interest Liberty held in Turner Broadcasting System, Inc. The shares of Series LMCN-V Common
Stock of Historic TW Inc. were exchanged for shares of Series LMCN-V Common Stock of Time Warner
Inc. in 2001. The Series LMCN-V Common Stock and Series LMC Common Stock have been eliminated
because the regulatory conditions terminated in 2006 and all of the outstanding shares of Series
LMCN-V Common Stock were tendered to the Company by Liberty in connection with the Liberty
Transaction. Accordingly, there is no longer a need to maintain the Series LMCN-V Common Stock and
the Series LMC Common Stock. Copies of the Certificates of Elimination are filed as Exhibits 3.2
and 3.3 to this report.
On July 27, 2007, following the filing of the Certificates of Elimination, the Company filed
with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a Restated Certificate of Incorporation. The
Restated Certificate of Incorporation became effective upon filing. The Restated Certificate of
Incorporation filed on July 27, 2007 amended the Restated Certificate of Incorporation filed with
the Delaware Secretary of State on January 11, 2001 to reflect all amendments made to it since that
date, but did not further amend the Restated Certificate of Incorporation. A copy of the Restated
Certificate of Incorporation is filed as Exhibit 3.4 to this report.
