TWC is the second-largest cable operator in the U.S., with technologically advanced,
well-clustered systems located mainly in five geographic areas New York State (including New York
City), the Carolinas, Ohio, southern California (including Los Angeles) and Texas. As of September
30, 2008, TWC served approximately 14.7 million customers who subscribed to one or more of its
video, high-speed data and voice services, representing approximately 34.2 million revenue
generating units.
Time Warner Inc. (Time Warner) owns approximately 84% of the common stock of TWC
(representing a 90.6% voting interest), and also owns an indirect 12.43% non-voting common stock
interest in TW NY Cable Holding Inc. (TW NY), a subsidiary of TWC. The financial results of TWCs
operations are consolidated by Time Warner. On May 20, 2008, TWC and its subsidiaries, Time Warner
Entertainment Company, L.P. (TWE) and TW NY, entered into a Separation Agreement (the Separation
Agreement) with Time Warner and its subsidiaries, Warner Communications Inc. (WCI), Historic TW
Inc. (Historic TW) and American Television and Communications Corporation (ATC), the terms of
which will govern TWCs legal and structural separation from Time Warner. Refer to Recent
Developments for further details.

TIME WARNER CABLE INC.
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION(Continued)
TWC principally offers three services video, high-speed data and voice over its broadband
cable systems. TWC markets its services separately and in bundled packages of multiple services
and features. As of September 30, 2008, 53% of TWCs customers subscribed to two or more of its
primary services, including 20% of its customers who subscribed to all three primary services.
Historically, TWC has focused primarily on residential customers, while also selling video,
high-speed data and networking and transport services to commercial customers. During 2007, TWC
also began selling voice services to small- and medium-sized businesses as part of an increased
emphasis on its commercial business. TWC believes selling commercial services will provide
additional opportunities for growth in the future. In addition, TWC earns revenues by selling
advertising time to national, regional and local customers.
Video is TWCs largest service in terms of revenues generated and, as of September 30, 2008,
TWC had approximately 13.3 million basic video subscribers, of which approximately 8.6 million
subscribed to TWCs digital video service. Although providing video services is a competitive and
highly penetrated business, TWC expects to continue to increase video revenues through the offering
of advanced digital video services, as well as through price increases and digital video subscriber
growth. TWCs digital video subscribers provide a broad base of potential customers for additional
services. Video programming costs represent a major component of TWCs expenses and are expected to
continue to increase, reflecting programming rate increases on existing services, costs associated
with retransmission consent agreements, subscriber growth and the expansion of service offerings.
TWC expects that its video service margins as a percentage of video revenues will continue to
decline over the next few years as increases in programming costs outpace growth in video revenues.
As of September 30, 2008, TWC had approximately 8.3 million residential high-speed data
subscribers. TWC expects continued growth in residential high-speed data subscribers and revenues
for the foreseeable future; however, the rate of growth of both subscribers and revenues is
expected to continue to slow over time as high-speed data services become increasingly penetrated.
TWC also offers commercial high-speed data services and had 295,000 commercial high-speed data
subscribers as of September 30, 2008.
As of September 30, 2008, TWC had approximately 3.6 million residential Digital Phone
subscribers. TWC expects increases in Digital Phone subscribers and revenues for the foreseeable
future; however, the rate of growth of both subscribers and revenues is expected to slow over time
as Digital Phone services become increasingly penetrated. TWC rolled out Business Class Phone, a
commercial Digital Phone service, to small- and medium-sized businesses during 2007 in the majority
of its systems and has nearly completed the roll-out in the remainder of its systems during the
first nine months of 2008. As of September 30, 2008, TWC had 23,000 commercial Digital Phone
subscribers.
Some of TWCs principal competitors, direct broadcast satellite operators and incumbent local
telephone companies in particular, either offer or are making significant capital investments that
will allow them to offer services that provide features and functions comparable to the video,
high-speed data and/or voice services offered by TWC. These services are also offered in bundles
similar to TWCs and, in certain cases, such offerings include wireless service. The availability
of these bundled service offerings has intensified competition, and TWC expects that competition
will continue to intensify in the future as these offerings become more prevalent. TWC plans to
continue to enhance its services with innovative offerings, which TWC believes will distinguish its
services from those of its competitors.
The recent events affecting the U.S. and international financial markets have had a
significant and adverse impact on the broader global economies. These events have served to
severely tighten the credit markets, increase equity market volatility and reduce future
expectations for economic growth. Since the end of the third quarter of 2008, the Company has seen
a slowdown in growth across all revenue generating unit categories as a result of the
challenging economic environment. The Company believes it is premature to
determine if this is a long- or short-term development and is unable to estimate the impact of a
protracted economic downturn on its financial and subscriber results. In addition, the Company has
continued to see a decline in its Advertising revenues from national, regional and local
businesses.
2
TIME WARNER CABLE INC.
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION(Continued)
Despite the current economic environment, the Company believes it continues to have strong
liquidity to meet its needs for the foreseeable future. As of September 30, 2008, the Company had
$12.604 billion of unused committed capacity (including cash and equivalents and credit facilities
containing commitments from a geographically diverse group of major financial institutions),
$10.855 billion of which TWC expects to use to finance the Special Dividend (as defined below).
Additionally, there are no significant maturities of the Companys long-term debt prior to February
2011. While the Company believes it has sufficient committed capacity and access to capital
markets, any new borrowings in the near term outside of TWCs committed capacity would likely bear
significantly higher interest rates than those on the Companys recent borrowings. See Financial
Condition and Liquidity for further details regarding the Companys committed capacity.
Separation from Time Warner
On May 20, 2008, TWC and its subsidiaries, TWE and TW NY, entered into the Separation
Agreement with Time Warner and its subsidiaries, WCI, Historic TW and ATC. TWCs separation from
Time Warner will take place through a series of related transactions, the occurrence of each of
which is a condition to the next. First, Time Warner will complete certain internal restructuring
transactions. Next, following the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, including those
described below, Historic TW will transfer its 12.43% non-voting common stock interest in TW NY to
TWC in exchange for 80 million newly issued shares of TWCs Class A common stock (the TW NY
Exchange). Following the TW NY Exchange, Time Warner will complete certain additional
restructuring steps that will make Time Warner the direct owner of all shares of TWCs Class A
common stock and Class B common stock previously held by its subsidiaries (all of Time Warners
restructuring transaction steps being referred to collectively as the TW Internal Restructuring).
Upon completion of the TW Internal Restructuring, TWCs board of directors or a committee thereof
will declare a special cash dividend to holders of TWCs outstanding Class A common stock and Class
B common stock, including Time Warner, in an amount equal to $10.27 per share (aggregating $10.855
billion) (the Special Dividend). The Special Dividend will be paid prior to the completion of
TWCs separation from Time Warner. Following the receipt by Time Warner of the Special Dividend,
TWC will file with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware an amended and restated
certificate of incorporation, pursuant to which, among other things, each outstanding share of TWC
Class A common stock (including any shares of Class A common stock issued in the TW NY Exchange)
and TWC Class B common stock will automatically be converted into one share of common stock, par
value $.01 per share (the TWC Common Stock) (the Recapitalization). Once the TW NY Exchange,
the TW Internal Restructuring, the payment of the Special Dividend and the Recapitalization have
been completed, TWCs separation from Time Warner (the Separation) will proceed in the form of
either a pro rata dividend of all shares of TWC Common Stock held by Time Warner to holders of Time
Warners common stock or through the consummation by Time Warner of an exchange offer of shares of
TWC Common Stock for shares of Time Warners common stock. If the Separation is effected as an
exchange offer, after consummation of the exchange offer, Time Warner will distribute to its
stockholders, as a pro rata dividend, any TWC Common Stock that it continues to hold. The
distribution by Time Warner of all shares of TWC Common Stock held by Time Warner to its
stockholders as (a) a pro rata dividend, (b) an exchange offer or (c) a combination thereof is
referred to as the Distribution. The Separation, the TW NY Exchange, the TW Internal
Restructuring, the Special Dividend, the Recapitalization and the Distribution collectively are
referred to as the Separation Transactions.
Time Warner has the sole discretion, after consultation with TWC, to determine whether the
Separation will be effected as a pro rata dividend or through an exchange offer with its
stockholders, which decision has not yet been made.

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION(Continued)
The Separation Agreement contains customary covenants, and consummation of the Separation
Transactions is subject to customary closing conditions, including customary regulatory reviews and
local franchise approvals, the receipt by Time Warner of a private letter ruling from the Internal
Revenue Service indicating that the Separation Transactions will generally qualify as tax-free for
Time Warner and Time Warners stockholders, the receipt of certain tax opinions and the entry into
the 2008 Bridge Facility and the Supplemental Facility (each as defined below under 2008 Bond
Offering and Additional Financing Commitments). Time Warner and TWC expect the Separation
Transactions to be consummated by early 2009. See Item 1A, Risk Factors, in Part II of the June
2008 Form 10-Q for a discussion of risk factors relating to the Separation.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Company incurred pretax costs
related to the Separation of $53 million and $102 million, respectively, which have been reflected
in the Companys consolidated statement of operations as follows

In the table above, other expense, net, consists of direct transaction costs (e.g., legal and
professional fees). Interest expense, net, includes net interest expense on the $5.0 billion
principal amount of debt securities issued in the 2008 Bond Offering (as defined below) after
considering the impact of the net proceeds of such offering, a portion of which was used to repay
variable-rate debt with lower interest rates and the remainder of which was invested in accordance
with the Companys investment policy ($48 million and $54 million for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2008, respectively). Debt issuance costs of $2 million and $33 million for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively, are also included in interest
expense, net, primarily related to the portion of the upfront loan fees for the 2008 Bridge
Facility that was expensed due to the reduction of commitments under such facility as a result of
the 2008 Bond Offering. The Company expects to incur additional direct transaction costs and
financing costs related to the Separation.
In addition, in connection with the Separation Transactions, and as provided for in Time
Warners equity plans, Time Warner contemplates that the number of Time Warner stock options and
restricted stock units outstanding at the Separation and the exercise prices of such stock options
will be adjusted to maintain the fair value of those awards. The changes in the number of equity
awards and the exercise prices will be determined by comparing the fair value of such awards
immediately prior to the Separation Transactions to the fair value of such awards immediately after
the Separation Transactions. The modifications to the outstanding equity awards will be made
pursuant to existing antidilution provisions in Time Warners equity plans.
Under the terms of Time Warners equity plans and related award agreements, as a result of the
Separation, TWC employees who hold Time Warner equity awards will be treated as if their employment
with Time Warner had been terminated without cause at the time of the Separation. This treatment
will result in the forfeiture of unvested stock options and shortened exercise periods for vested
stock options and pro rata vesting of the next installment of (and forfeiture of the remainder of)
the RSU awards for those TWC employees who do not satisfy retirement-treatment eligibility
provisions in the Time Warner equity plans and related award agreements. TWC plans to grant
make-up TWC equity awards or make cash payments to TWC employees that are generally intended to
offset any loss of economic value in Time Warner equity awards as a result of the Separation.

OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION(Continued)
Finally, in connection with the Special Dividend, and as provided for in the Companys equity
plans and related award agreements, the number and the exercise prices of outstanding TWC stock
options will be adjusted to maintain the fair value of those awards. The changes in the number of
shares subject to options and the exercise prices will be determined by comparing the fair value of
such awards immediately prior to the Special Dividend to the fair value of such awards immediately
after the Special Dividend. The modifications to the outstanding equity awards will be made
pursuant to existing antidilution provisions in TWCs equity plans and related award agreements.
Interim Impairment Testing of Goodwill and Indefinite-lived Intangible Assets
As discussed in more detail in the 2007 Form 10-K, goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible
assets, primarily the Companys cable franchise rights, are tested annually for impairment during
the fourth quarter, or earlier upon the occurrence of certain events or substantive changes in
circumstances. As a result of entering into the Separation Agreement, the Company was required
under Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement No. 142, Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets (FAS 142) to test goodwill and cable franchise rights as of May 20, 2008 (the
interim testing date).
The impairment test was performed on a basis consistent with the analysis performed as of
December 31, 2007. In performing goodwill impairment testing, the Company determines the fair value
of each reporting unit by using two valuation techniques: a discounted cash flow (DCF) analysis
and a market-based approach. The Company determines the fair value of the cable franchise rights of
a reporting unit using a DCF valuation analysis. A DCF valuation requires the exercise of
significant judgments, including judgments about appropriate discount rates based on the assessment
of risks inherent in the projected future cash flows and the amount and timing of expected future
cash flows, including expected cash flows beyond the Companys current long-term business planning
period. In assessing the reasonableness of its determined fair values, the Company evaluates its
results against other value indicators such as comparable company public trading values, research
analyst estimates and values observed in private market transactions.
The Companys interim impairment analysis did not result in any impairment charges during the
second quarter of 2008. However, the fair values of the cable franchise rights in certain of the
Companys reporting units, particularly the Texas reporting unit, were at or only modestly in
excess of their carrying values. Accordingly, any future declines in the estimated fair values of
the cable franchise rights in one or more of such reporting units would likely result in noncash
cable franchise rights impairment charges.
To illustrate the magnitude of a potential impairment charge related to changes in estimated
fair value, had the fair values of each of the reporting units and their respective cable franchise
rights been lower by 10% as of the interim testing date, the Company would have recorded cable
franchise rights impairment charges of approximately $750 million, and had each of the fair values
been lower by 20%, the Company would have recorded cable franchise rights impairment charges of
approximately $3.7 billion. In neither of these cases would the Company have been required to
record goodwill impairment charges.
The Company has concluded that an interim impairment test is not required as of September 30,
2008. However, economic conditions currently affecting the U.S. economy and recent declines in
TWCs stock price may have a negative impact on the fair values of the Companys franchise
intangibles and reporting units, which may result in the Company recognizing an impairment when the
Company performs its annual test during the fourth quarter of 2008.

2008 Bond Offering and Additional Financing Commitments
On June 16, 2008, TWC filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (the Shelf
Registration Statement) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) that allows TWC to
offer and sell from time to time senior and subordinated debt securities and debt warrants. On
June 19, 2008, TWC issued $5.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes and
debentures under the Shelf Registration Statement (the 2008 Bond Offering), consisting of
$1.5 billion principal amount of 6.20% notes due 2013, $2.0 billion principal amount of 6.75% notes
due 2018 and $1.5 billion principal amount of 7.30% debentures due 2038. The Company expects to
use the net proceeds of $4.963 billion from this issuance to finance, in part, the Special
Dividend. If the Separation is not consummated and the Special Dividend is not paid, the Company
will use the net proceeds from the issuance of the debt securities for general corporate purposes,
including repayment of indebtedness. Pending the payment of the Special Dividend, a portion of the
net proceeds of the 2008 Bond Offering was used to repay variable-rate debt with lower interest
rates and the remainder was invested in accordance with the Companys investment policy.
In addition to issuing the debt securities in the 2008 Bond Offering described above, on June
30, 2008, the Company entered into a credit agreement with certain financial institutions for a
senior unsecured term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $9.0 billion with an
initial maturity date that is 364 days after the borrowing date (the 2008 Bridge Facility) in
order to finance, in part, the Special Dividend. As a result of the 2008 Bond Offering, the amount
of the commitments of the lenders under the 2008 Bridge Facility was reduced to $4.040 billion. As
discussed below in Financial Condition and LiquidityOutstanding Debt and Mandatorily Redeemable
Preferred Equity and Available Financial CapacityLending Commitments, the Company is not certain
whether Lehman Brothers Commercial Bank will fund its $269 million in commitments under the 2008
Bridge Facility, and, therefore, the Company has included only $3.771 billion of commitments under
the 2008 Bridge Facility in its unused committed capacity as of September 30, 2008. The Company may
elect to extend the maturity date of the loans outstanding under the 2008 Bridge Facility for an
additional year. TWC may not borrow any amounts under the 2008 Bridge Facility unless and until the
Special Dividend is declared in connection with the Separation.
In May 2008, Time Warner (as lender) committed to lend TWC (as borrower) up to an aggregate
principal amount of $3.5 billion under a two-year senior unsecured supplemental term loan facility
(the Supplemental Facility). TWC may borrow under the Supplemental Facility at the final maturity
of the 2008 Bridge Facility to repay amounts then outstanding under the 2008 Bridge Facility, if
any. As a result of the 2008 Bond Offering, Time Warners original commitment was reduced by $980
million to $2.520 billion.
TWCs obligations under the debt securities issued in the 2008 Bond Offering and the 2008
Bridge Facility are, and under the Supplemental Facility will be, guaranteed by TWE and TW NY.
See Note 4 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for further details regarding
the 2008 Bond Offering, the 2008 Bridge Facility and the Supplemental Facility.

Sprint/Clearwire Joint Venture
In May 2008, TWC, Intel Corporation, Google Inc., Comcast Corporation (together with its
subsidiaries, Comcast) and Bright House Networks, LLC entered into agreements to collectively
invest $3.2 billion in a wireless communications joint venture (the Sprint/Clearwire Joint
Venture), which is expected to be formed by Sprint Nextel Corporation (Sprint) and Clearwire
Corporation (Clearwire). TWCs share of such investment is expected to be approximately $550
million, which it expects to fund with cash on hand, borrowings under the Cable Revolving Facility
(as defined below), its commercial paper program or a combination thereof. Once formed, the
Sprint/Clearwire Joint Venture will be focused on deploying the first nationwide fourth-generation
wireless network to provide mobile broadband services to wholesale and retail customers. In
connection with its anticipated investment in the Sprint/Clearwire Joint Venture, TWC has entered
into a wholesale agreement with Sprint that allows TWC to offer wireless services utilizing
Sprints 2G/3G network. Upon closing, TWC also expects to enter into a wholesale agreement with the
Sprint/Clearwire Joint Venture that would allow TWC to offer wireless services utilizing the
Sprint/Clearwire Joint Ventures broadband wireless network. The closing of these transactions,
which is expected to occur by the end of 2008, is subject to certain
closing conditions. There can be no assurance that the formation of the Sprint/Clearwire Joint Venture will
be completed, or, if completed, that the Sprint/Clearwire Joint Venture would successfully finance
and deploy a nationwide mobile broadband network. If completed, the Companys investment in the
Sprint/Clearwire Joint Venture would be accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The
Company expects that the Sprint/Clearwire Joint Venture would incur losses in its early periods of
operation.
Sale of Certain Cable Systems
In June 2008, the Company entered into an agreement to sell a group of small cable systems,
serving approximately 80,000 basic video subscribers and approximately 125,000 revenue generating
units as of September 30, 2008, located in areas outside of the Companys core geographic clusters.
The sale price is approximately $53 million, subject to certain adjustments. The Company expects
the sale of these cable systems will close during the fourth quarter of 2008, subject to obtaining
customary regulatory approvals. The Company does not expect that the sale of these systems will
have a material impact on the Companys future financial results; however, as a result of a
probable loss on the sale of these systems, the Company recorded a pretax impairment loss of $45
million during the second quarter of 2008.
During the third quarter of 2008, Hurricane Ike caused significant damage to a portion of
TWCs operations in Texas, particularly in the Port Arthur, Beaumont, Orange and Bridge City areas,
which served approximately 88,000 basic video subscribers and 165,000 revenue generating units
prior to the storm. TWCs cable systems in these areas experienced significant damage, business
interruption and an indeterminate loss of customer relationships. The long-term effect of Hurricane
Ike on the population of southeast Texas, and, therefore, on TWCs cable systems in this area,
remains uncertain and as a result, any potential population losses have not been reflected in the
Companys subscriber results as of September 30, 2008. During the fourth quarter of 2008, the
Company will continue to evaluate the impact of Hurricane Ike, which could result in a negative
impact to TWCs subscriber metrics. In addition to Texas, Hurricane Ike also caused physical damage
and service outages in parts of Ohio.
For the third quarter of 2008, the Company estimates that OIBDA (as defined below) and
Operating Income were negatively impacted by approximately $10 million as a result of service
outages and damage to the plant infrastructure caused by the storm. The Company anticipates an
additional negative impact to OIBDA and Operating Income of approximately $5 million in the fourth
quarter of 2008, primarily due to additional customer credits for service outages and expenses
associated with plant repairs and maintenance. Additionally, the Company estimates that it will
incur approximately $10 million of capital expenditures during the fourth quarter of 2008 to
replace property, plant and equipment damaged by Hurricane Ike.

TWC is a participant in a wireless spectrum joint venture with several other cable companies
(the Wireless Joint Venture) that holds 137 advanced wireless spectrum (AWS) licenses. These
licenses cover 20 MHz of AWS in about 90% of the continental United States and Hawaii. The Federal
Communications Commission awarded these licenses to the Wireless Joint Venture on November 20,
2006. Under certain circumstances, the members of the Wireless Joint Venture have the ability to
exit the venture and receive from the venture, subject to certain limitations and adjustments, AWS
licenses covering the areas in which they provide cable services. On October 24, 2008, the Wireless
Joint Venture agreed to redeem the 10.9% interest held by an affiliate of Cox Communications, Inc.
(Cox). Under the agreement, the closing of which is subject to receipt of customary regulatory
approvals, Cox will exit the Wireless Joint Venture and receive AWS licenses, principally covering
areas in which Cox provides cable services, and a cash payment of $70 million. Following the
closing of the Cox transaction, the Wireless Joint Ventures AWS licenses would cover over 80% of
the continental United States and Hawaii. TWC expects to contribute approximately $22 million to
the Wireless Joint Venture during the fourth quarter of 2008 or early 2009 to fund its share of the
payment to Cox.
FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION
The Companys revenues consist of Subscription and Advertising revenues. Subscription revenues
consist of revenues from video, high-speed data and voice services.
Video revenues include subscriber fees for basic, expanded basic and digital services from
both residential and commercial subscribers. Video revenues from digital services, or digital video
revenues, include revenues from digital tiers, digital pay channels, pay-per-view, video-on-demand,
subscription-video-on-demand and digital video recorder services. Video revenues also include
related equipment rental charges, installation charges and franchise fees collected on behalf of
local franchising authorities. Several ancillary items are also included within video revenues,
such as commissions earned on the sale of merchandise by home shopping services and rental income
earned on the leasing of antenna attachments on transmission towers owned by the Company. In each
period presented, these ancillary items constitute less than 2% of video revenues.
High-speed data revenues include subscriber fees from both residential and commercial
subscribers, along with related equipment rental charges, home networking fees and installation
charges. High-speed data revenues also include fees received from certain distributors of TWCs
Road RunnerTM high-speed data service (including cable systems managed by the
Advance/Newhouse Partnership) and fees received from third-party internet service providers whose
on-line services are provided to some of TWCs customers.
Voice revenues include subscriber fees from residential and commercial Digital Phone
subscribers, along with related installation charges. For the three and nine months ended September
30, 2007, voice revenues also included subscriber fees from circuit-switched telephone subscribers
(43,000 subscribers as of September 30, 2007). During the first half of 2008, TWC completed the
process of discontinuing the provision of circuit-switched telephone service in accordance with
regulatory requirements. As a result, during 2008, Digital Phone has been the only voice service
offered by TWC.
Advertising revenues primarily include the fees charged to local, regional and national
advertising customers for advertising placed on the Companys video and high-speed data services.
Nearly all Advertising revenues are attributable to the Companys video service.

Costs of revenues include: video programming costs (including fees paid to the programming
vendors net of certain amounts received from the vendors); high-speed data connectivity costs;
voice network costs; other service-related expenses, including non-administrative labor costs
directly associated with the delivery of services to subscribers; maintenance of the Companys
delivery systems; franchise fees; and other related costs. The Companys programming agreements are
generally multi-year agreements that provide for the Company to make payments to the programming
vendors at agreed upon rates based on the number of subscribers to which the Company provides the
programming service.
Selling, general and administrative expenses include amounts not directly associated with the
delivery of services to subscribers or the maintenance of the Companys delivery systems, such as
administrative labor costs, marketing expenses, billing system charges, non-plant repair and
maintenance costs, fees paid to Time Warner for reimbursement of certain administrative support
functions and other administrative overhead costs.
Use of Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization and Free Cash Flow
Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization (OIBDA) is a financial measure not
calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).
The Company defines OIBDA as Operating Income before depreciation of tangible assets and
amortization of intangible assets. Management utilizes OIBDA, among other measures, in evaluating
the performance of the Companys business because OIBDA eliminates the uneven effect across its
business of considerable amounts of depreciation of tangible assets and amortization of intangible
assets recognized in business combinations. Additionally, management utilizes OIBDA because it
believes this measure provides valuable insight into the underlying performance of the Companys
individual cable systems by removing the effects of items that are not within the control of local
personnel charged with managing these systems such as income tax provision, other income (expense),
net, minority interest expense, net, income from equity investments, net, and interest expense,
net. In this regard, OIBDA is a significant measure used in the Companys annual incentive
compensation programs. OIBDA also is a metric used by the Companys parent, Time Warner, to
evaluate the Companys performance and is an important measure in the Time Warner reportable
segment disclosures. A limitation of this measure, however, is that it does not reflect the
periodic costs of certain capitalized tangible and intangible assets used in generating revenues in
the Companys business. To compensate for this limitation, management evaluates the investments in
such tangible and intangible assets through other financial measures, such as capital expenditure
budget variances, investment spending levels and return on capital analyses. Another limitation of
this measure is that it does not reflect the significant costs borne by the Company for income
taxes, debt servicing costs, the share of OIBDA related to the minority ownership, the results of
the Companys equity investments or other non-operational income or expense. Management compensates
for this limitation through other financial measures such as a review of net income and earnings
per share.
Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company defines Free Cash Flow as cash
provided by operating activities (as defined under GAAP) plus excess tax benefits from the exercise
of stock options, less cash provided by (used by) discontinued operations, capital expenditures,
partnership distributions and principal payments on capital leases. Management uses Free Cash Flow
to evaluate the Companys business. The Company believes this measure is an important indicator of
its liquidity, including its ability to reduce net debt and make strategic investments, because it
reflects the Companys operating cash flow after considering the significant capital expenditures
required to operate its business. A limitation of this measure, however, is that it does not
reflect payments made in connection with investments and acquisitions, which reduce liquidity. To
compensate for this limitation, management evaluates such expenditures through other financial
measures such as return on investment analyses.

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION(Continued)
Both OIBDA and Free Cash Flow should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for,
the Companys Operating Income, net income and various cash flow measures (e.g., cash provided by
operating activities), as well as other measures of financial performance and liquidity reported in
accordance with GAAP, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other
companies. A reconciliation of OIBDA to Operating Income is presented under Results of
Operations. A reconciliation of Free Cash Flow to cash provided by operating activities is
presented under Financial Condition and Liquidity.

High-speed data revenues increased primarily due to growth in high-speed data subscribers.
The increase in voice revenues was due to growth in Digital Phone subscribers. Voice revenues
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 also included $8 million and $33 million,
respectively, of revenues associated with subscribers who received traditional, circuit-switched
telephone service.
Average monthly subscription revenue (which includes video, high-speed data and voice
revenues) per basic video subscriber (subscription ARPU) increased 9% to $103.38 for the three
months ended September 30, 2008 from $94.50 for the three months ended September 30, 2007, and
increased 9% to $101.63 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 from $93.22 for the nine
months ended September 30, 2007. These increases were primarily a result of the increased
penetration of digital video, high-speed data and Digital Phone and higher video prices, as
discussed above.
Advertising revenues increased slightly for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008
primarily due to an increase in political advertising revenues, partially offset by a decline in
Advertising revenues from national, regional and local businesses.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, costs of revenues increased 10% and
8%, respectively, primarily related to increases in video programming, employee, voice and other
direct operating costs. As a percentage of revenues, costs of revenues were 48% for both the three
and nine months ended September 30, 2008, compared to 47% and 48% for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2007, respectively.
The increase in video programming costs was primarily due to contractual rate increases and an
increase in the percentage of basic video subscribers who also subscribe to expanded tiers of video
services. Average programming costs per basic video subscriber increased 8% to $23.85 per month
for the three months ended September 30, 2008 from $22.03 per month for the three months ended
September 30, 2007. Average programming costs per basic video subscriber increased 7% to $23.58 per
month for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 from $21.94 per month for the nine months ended
September 30, 2007.
Employee costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 increased primarily due
to higher headcount resulting from the continued growth of digital video, high-speed data and
Digital Phone services, as well as salary increases.
High-speed data costs consist of the direct costs associated with the delivery of high-speed
data services, including network connectivity costs. High-speed data costs decreased for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 2008 primarily due to a decrease in per-subscriber connectivity
costs, partially offset by subscriber growth.
Voice costs consist of the direct costs associated with the delivery of voice services,
including network connectivity costs. Voice costs increased for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2008 primarily due to growth in Digital Phone subscribers, partially offset by a
decline in per-subscriber connectivity costs.
Other direct operating costs increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008
primarily due to increases in certain other costs associated with the continued growth of digital
video, high-speed data and Digital Phone services.

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION(Continued)
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, selling, general and administrative
expenses increased primarily due to higher employee and marketing costs. Employee costs increased
primarily due to headcount and salary increases and marketing costs increased primarily due to
intensified marketing efforts. Other costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008
included a benefit of approximately $13 million due to changes in estimates of previously
established casualty insurance accruals. Excluding this benefit, other costs increased primarily
due to higher miscellaneous administrative costs.
Merger-related and restructuring costs. For the three and nine months ended September 30,
2007, the Company expensed non-capitalizable merger-related costs associated with the 2006
transactions with Adelphia Communications Corporation and Comcast of $3 million and $10 million,
respectively. In addition, the results included restructuring costs of $8 million and $14 million
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively, and $1 million and
$10 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, respectively.
Loss on cable systems held for sale. During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the
Company recorded a pretax impairment loss of $45 million as a result of the anticipated sale of
certain non-core cable systems, which is expected to close during the fourth quarter of 2008. See
OverviewRecent DevelopmentsSale of Certain Cable Systems for further details.

OIBDA. OIBDA increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 principally as a
result of revenue growth (particularly in high margin high-speed data revenues), partially offset
by higher costs of revenues and selling, general and administrative expenses. Additionally, as
discussed above, OIBDA for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 was negatively
impacted by approximately $10 million as a result of the effect of Hurricane Ike on the cable
systems in southeast Texas and Ohio, and OIBDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was
also impacted by the loss of $45 million on cable systems held for sale.
Depreciation expense. The increase in depreciation expense for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2008 was primarily associated with purchases of customer premise equipment, scalable
infrastructure and line extensions (each of which is primarily driven by customer demand) occurring
during or subsequent to the comparable period in 2007.
Amortization expense. Amortization expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2008
decreased primarily due to the absence of amortization expense associated with customer
relationships recorded in connection with the 2003 restructuring of TWE, which were fully amortized
as of the end of the first quarter of 2007.

TIME WARNER CABLE INC.
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION(Continued)
Operating Income. Operating Income increased for the three and nine months ended September 30,
2008 primarily due to the increase in OIBDA (which, for the nine months ended September 30, 2008,
included the loss on cable systems held for sale), partially offset by the increase in depreciation
expense, as discussed above.
Interest expense, net. As discussed in OverviewRecent DevelopmentsSeparation from Time
Warner, interest expense, net, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 included
financing costs of $50 million and $87 million, respectively, related to the 2008 Bond Offering and
the 2008 Bridge Facility. Excluding the financing costs related to the Separation Transactions,
interest expense, net, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 decreased due to
lower net debt (as defined below) and lower average interest rates on the Companys variable-rate
borrowings. Additionally, interest expense, net, for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was
impacted by the April 2007 issuance of fixed rate debt securities, the net proceeds of which were
used in part to repay variable-rate debt with lower interest rates.
Minority interest expense, net. Minority interest expense, net, for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2008 increased primarily due to larger profits recorded by TW NY during 2008.
Other expense (income), net. Other expense, net, for the nine months ended September 30, 2008
included $15 million of direct transaction costs (e.g., legal and professional fees) related to the
Separation Transactions, of which $3 million was incurred in the third quarter of 2008.
Additionally, other expense, net for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 included an $8
million impairment charge on an equity-method investment and a pretax gain of $9 million recorded
on the sale of a cost-method investment. During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the
Company recorded a pretax gain of $146 million as a result of the distribution of the assets of
Texas and Kansas City Cable Partners, L.P. to TWC and Comcast on January 1, 2007, which was treated
as a sale of the Companys 50% equity interest in the pool of assets consisting of the Houston
cable systems (the TKCCP Gain).
Income before income taxes. Income before income taxes for the three months ended September
30, 2008 increased primarily due to an increase in Operating Income, partially offset by an
increase in minority interest expense, net. Income before income taxes for the nine months ended
September 30, 2008 increased primarily due to an increase in Operating Income (which included the
loss on cable systems held for sale) and a decrease in interest expense, net, partially offset by
the TKCCP Gain recorded in other income, net in the first quarter of 2007, as discussed above and
an increase in minority interest expense, net.
Income tax provision. TWCs income tax provision has been prepared as if the Company operated
as a stand-alone taxpayer for all periods presented. For the three months ended September 30, 2008
and 2007, the Company recorded income tax provisions of $203 million and $166 million,
respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company recorded income
tax provisions of $550 million and $525 million, respectively. The effective tax rate was 40% for
both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007.
Net income and net income per common share. Net income was $301 million for the three months
ended September 30, 2008 compared to $248 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007.
Basic and diluted net income per common share were $0.31 for the three months ended September 30,
2008 compared to $0.25 for the three months ended September 30, 2007. Net income was $820 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to $796 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2007. Basic and diluted net income per common share were $0.84 for the nine months
ended September 30, 2008 compared to $0.81 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY
Management believes that cash generated by or available to TWC should be sufficient to fund
its capital and liquidity needs for the foreseeable future, including the expected payment of
$10.855 billion for the Special Dividend and the Companys expected investment in the
Sprint/Clearwire Joint Venture. TWCs sources of cash include cash provided by operating
activities, cash and equivalents on hand, borrowing capacity under its committed credit facilities
(including the 2008 Bridge Facility, under which TWC may not borrow any amounts unless and until
the Special Dividend is declared in connection with the Separation) and commercial paper program,
as well as access to capital markets.
TWCs unused committed capacity was $12.604 billion as of September 30, 2008, reflecting
$3.090 billion of cash and equivalents, $5.743 billion of available borrowing capacity under the
Companys $6.0 billion senior unsecured five-year revolving credit facility (the Cable Revolving
Facility) and $3.771 billion of borrowing capacity under the 2008 Bridge Facility. TWC may not
borrow any amounts under the 2008 Bridge Facility unless and until the Special Dividend is declared
in connection with the Separation. Borrowings under the Supplemental Facility are only available to
the Company at the final maturity of the 2008 Bridge Facility to repay amounts then outstanding
under the 2008 Bridge Facility, if any, and are not included in TWCs unused committed capacity.
See Outstanding Debt and Mandatorily Redeemable Preferred Equity and Available Financial
CapacityLending Commitments below for a discussion regarding the Companys decision to exclude
funding commitments from subsidiaries of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. in determining the amount of
its unused committed capacity.
Current Financial Condition
As of September 30, 2008, the Company had $15.748 billion of debt, $3.090 billion of cash and
equivalents (net debt of $12.658 billion, defined as total debt less cash and equivalents), $300
million of mandatorily redeemable non-voting Series A Preferred Equity Membership Units (the TW NY
Cable Preferred Membership Units) issued by a subsidiary of TWC, Time Warner NY Cable LLC (TW NY
Cable) and $25.589 billion of shareholders equity. As of December 31, 2007, the Company had
$13.577 billion of debt, $232 million of cash and equivalents (net debt of $13.345 billion), $300
million of TW NY Cable Preferred Membership Units and $24.706 billion of shareholders equity.

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION(Continued)
As discussed in OverviewRecent Developments2008 Bond Offering and Additional Financing
Commitments, pending the payment of the Special Dividend, a portion of the net proceeds of the
2008 Bond Offering was used to repay variable-rate debt with lower interest rates and the remainder
was invested in accordance with the Companys investment policy.
The Company invests its cash and equivalents in a combination of money market, government and
treasury funds, as well as bank certificates of deposit, in accordance with the Companys
investment policy of diversifying its investments and limiting the amount of its investments in a
single entity or fund. Consistent with the foregoing, the Company invested a portion of the cash
proceeds of the 2008 Bond Offering in The Reserve Funds Primary Fund (The Reserve Fund).
On the morning of September 15, 2008, the Company requested a full redemption of its $490 million
investment in The Reserve Fund, but the redemption request was not honored. On September 22, 2008,
The Reserve Fund announced that redemptions of shares were suspended pursuant to an SEC order
requested by The Reserve Fund so that an orderly liquidation could be effected. On October 31,
2008, the Company received $249 million from The Reserve Fund representing its pro rata share of a
partial distribution. The Company has not been informed as to when the remaining amount will be
returned. However, the Company believes its remaining receivable is recoverable and will be
distributed in the next twelve months as The Reserve Funds investments mature. As a result of the
status of The Reserve Fund, the Company has classified the $490 million receivable from The
Reserve Fund as of September 30, 2008 as prepaid expenses and other current assets on the Companys
consolidated balance sheet and within investments and acquisitions, net of cash acquired and
distributions received, on the Companys consolidated statement of cash flows.
In
addition, as discussed in OverviewRecent
DevelopmentsSprint/Clearwire Joint Venture, TWC is a participant in the
Sprint/Clearwire Joint Venture, which is expected to close by the end
of 2008. TWCs share of such
investment is expected to be approximately $550 million, which it expects to fund with cash on
hand, borrowings under the Cable Revolving Facility, its commercial paper program or a combination
thereof.

Cash provided by operating activities increased from $3.253 billion for the nine months ended
September 30, 2007 to $3.864 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. This increase
was primarily related to an increase in OIBDA (primarily due to revenue growth, partially offset by
increases in costs of revenues and selling, general and administrative expenses, as previously
discussed), a change in working capital requirements, a decrease in net income tax payments and a
decrease in net interest payments, partially offset by 2008 pension plan contributions and the
absence in 2008 of cash flows from discontinued operations. The change in working capital
requirements was primarily due to the timing of payments and collections of accounts receivable.
The decrease in net income tax payments is primarily due to the impact of the Economic Stimulus Act
of 2008, which was enacted in the first quarter of 2008 and provides for a bonus first year
depreciation deduction of 50% of qualified property. The benefits of this legislation are
applicable to certain of the Companys capital expenditures and are expected to continue to reduce
the Companys net income tax payments during the fourth quarter of 2008.
As of December 31, 2007, the Companys funded defined benefit pension plans were fully funded.
Between January 1, 2008 and October 31, 2008, the Companys plan assets have experienced estimated
market losses of approximately $400 million. The Company expects that the impact to the funded
status of the defined benefit pension plans from these 2008 market losses will be at least
partially offset by contributions made during the year and an expected increase in discount rates
that will reduce the projected benefit obligation. The Company has made $175 million of
discretionary cash contributions to its funded defined benefit pension plans during the nine months
ended September 30, 2008 ($200 million through October 31, 2008) and, subject to market conditions
and other considerations, the Company expects to make additional discretionary cash contributions
totaling at least $50 million during November and December. Discount rates for purposes of
calculating TWCs projected benefit obligation are determined based on a hypothetical portfolio of
high-quality bonds. In accordance with the accounting standards relating to pension accounting,
the Company measures its projected benefit obligation annually, which is performed at the end of
December. Each fifty basis point increase in the discount rate of 6.00% that was used to measure
the projected benefit obligation as of December 31, 2007 would have resulted in an approximate $100
million reduction in the projected benefit obligation.

Cash used by investing activities increased from $2.448 billion for the nine months ended
September 30, 2007 to $3.095 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. This increase
was principally due to the classification of the Companys investment in The Reserve Fund as
prepaid expenses and other current assets on the Companys consolidated balance sheet as a result
of the status of the investment (as discussed above), as well as an increase in capital
expenditures, driven by greater penetration of digital video, high-speed data and Digital Phone
services, and the absence in 2008 of distributions received from an investee. This increase was
partially offset by decreased investment spending relating to the Companys investment in the
Wireless Joint Venture and other investments and acquisitions.

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION(Continued)
TWC incurs expenditures associated with the construction of its cable systems. Costs
associated with the construction of the cable transmission and distribution facilities and new
cable service installations are capitalized. TWC generally capitalizes expenditures for tangible
fixed assets having a useful life of greater than one year. Capitalized costs include direct
material, labor and overhead, as well as interest. Sales and marketing costs, as well as the costs
of repairing or maintaining existing fixed assets, are expensed as incurred. With respect to
certain customer premise equipment, which includes set-top boxes and high-speed data and telephone
cable modems, TWC capitalizes installation charges only upon the initial deployment of these
assets. All costs incurred in subsequent disconnects and reconnects are expensed as incurred.

2007 compared to cash provided by financing activities of $2.089 billion for the nine months ended
September 30, 2008. Cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30,
2008 primarily included borrowings from the 2008 Bond Offering, partially offset by repayments
under the Cable Revolving Facility and commercial paper program, repayment of matured long-term
debt as previously discussed, and debt issuance costs relating to the 2008 Bond Offering and the
2008 Bridge Facility. Cash used by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30,
2007 included net repayments under the Companys debt obligations and payments for other financing
activities.

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION(Continued)
Free Cash Flow increased from $778 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 to
$1.279 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 primarily as a result of an increase in
cash provided by continuing operating activities, partially offset by an increase in capital
expenditures, as discussed above.

TWCs unused committed capacity was $12.604 billion as of September 30, 2008,
reflecting $3.090 billion in cash and equivalents, $5.743 billion of available borrowing
capacity under the Cable Revolving Facility and $3.771 billion of borrowing capacity under the
2008 Bridge Facility. TWC may not borrow any amounts under the 2008 Bridge Facility unless and
until the Special Dividend is declared in connection with the Separation. TWCs unused
committed capacity was $3.881 billion as of December 31, 2007, reflecting $232 million in cash
and equivalents and $3.649 billion of available borrowing capacity under the Cable Revolving
Facility. TWCs available borrowing capacity as of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007
reflect a reduction of $132 million and $135 million, respectively, for outstanding letters of
credit backed by the Cable Revolving Facility. |
(b) |

As of December 31, 2007, the Company classified $601 million of TWE 7.25% debentures
due September 1, 2008 as long-term in the consolidated balance sheet to reflect managements
intent and ability to refinance the obligation on a long-term basis through the utilization of
the Companys unused committed capacity. |

TIME WARNER CABLE INC.
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION(Continued)
As noted above, as of September 30, 2008, TWC had $5.743 billion of available borrowing
capacity under the Cable Revolving Facility and $3.771 billion of borrowing capacity under the 2008
Bridge Facility. TWC may not borrow any amounts under the 2008 Bridge Facility unless and until the
Special Dividend is declared in connection with the Separation. The 2008 Bridge Facility consists
of commitments of approximately $269 million from each of 14 institutions, consisting of affiliates
of Bank of America, N.A., The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, LTD., Barclays Bank Plc, BNP Paribas
Securities Corp., Citibank, N.A., Deutsche Bank AG, Fortis Bank SA/NV, Goldman Sachs Bank USA,
Mizuho Corporate Bank, LTD., Morgan Stanley Bank, The Royal Bank of Scotland PLC, Sumitomo Mitsui
Banking Corporation, UBS Loan Finance LLC and Wachovia Bank, National Association. These same
financial institutions also comprise approximately 70% of the commitments under the Cable Revolving
Facility. Recently, a number of these lenders have entered into agreements to acquire or to be
acquired by other financial institutions. TWC believes that these transactions will not adversely
affect the commitments under the 2008 Bridge Facility and the Cable Revolving Facility. The
Companys bank credit agreements do not contain borrowing restrictions due to material adverse
changes in the Companys business or market disruption. For a discussion of the terms of the
Companys bank credit agreements, see Note 8 to the Companys consolidated financial statements
included in the 2007 Form 10-K.
In addition, Lehman Brothers Commercial Bank (LBCB) and Lehman Brothers Bank, FSB (LBB),
subsidiaries of Lehman, are lenders under the 2008 Bridge Facility and the Cable Revolving
Facility, respectively, with undrawn commitments of $269 million and $125 million, respectively.
On September 15, 2008, Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. (Lehman) filed a petition under Chapter 11
of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York
(the Lehman Bankruptcy). TWC has not requested to borrow under either the 2008 Bridge Facility
or the Cable Revolving Facility since the Lehman Bankruptcy, and neither LBCB nor LBB has been
placed in receivership or a similar proceeding as of November 4, 2008. While the Company believes
that LBCB and LBB are contractually obligated under the 2008 Bridge Facility and the Cable
Revolving Facility, respectively, it is uncertain whether LBCB or LBB would fund its respective
portion of any future borrowing requests or whether another lender might assume such commitments.
Accordingly, the Companys unused committed capacity as of September 30, 2008 excludes the undrawn
commitments of LBCB and LBB. The Company believes that it continues to have sufficient liquidity to
meet its needs for the foreseeable future, including payment of the Special Dividend, even if LBCB
and/or LBB fails to fund its portion of any future borrowing requests.
Time Warner Approval Rights
Under a shareholder agreement entered into between TWC and Time Warner on April 20, 2005 (the
Shareholder Agreement), TWC is required to obtain Time Warners approval prior to incurring
additional debt (except for ordinary course issuances of commercial paper or borrowings under the
Cable Revolving Facility up to the limit of that credit facility, to which Time Warner has
consented) or rental expenses (other than with respect to certain approved leases) or issuing
preferred equity, if its consolidated ratio of debt, including preferred equity, plus six times its
annual rental expense to EBITDAR (the TW Leverage Ratio) then exceeds, or would as a result of
the incurrence or issuance exceed, 3:1. Under certain circumstances, TWC is required to include the
indebtedness, annual rental expense obligations and EBITDAR of certain unconsolidated entities that
it manages and/or in which it owns an equity interest, in the calculation of the TW Leverage Ratio.
The Shareholder Agreement defines EBITDAR, at any time of measurement, as operating income plus
depreciation, amortization and rental expense (for any lease that is not accounted for as a capital
lease) for the twelve months ending on the last day of TWCs most recent fiscal quarter, including
certain adjustments to reflect the impact of significant transactions as if they had occurred at
the beginning of the period. In the Separation Agreement, Time Warner agreed that the calculation
of indebtedness under the Shareholder Agreement would exclude any indebtedness incurred pursuant to
the 2008 Bridge Facility and any indebtedness that reduces, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, the
commitments of the lenders under the 2008 Bridge Facility.

CAUTION CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This document contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, particularly statements anticipating future growth in
revenues, OIBDA, cash provided by operating activities and other financial measures. Words such as
anticipates, estimates, expects, projects, intends, plans, believes and words and
terms of similar substance used in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial
performance identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on
managements current expectations and beliefs about future events. As with any projection or
forecast, they are inherently susceptible to uncertainty and changes in circumstances, and the
Company is under no obligation to, and expressly disclaims any obligation to, update or alter its
forward-looking statements whether as a result of such changes, new information, subsequent events
or otherwise.
Various factors could adversely affect the operations, business or financial results of TWC in
the future and cause TWCs actual results to differ materially from those contained in the
forward-looking statements, including those factors discussed in detail in Item 1A, Risk Factors,
in the 2007 Form 10-K and the June 2008 Form 10-Q, which should be read in conjunction with this
report, and in TWCs other filings made from time to time with the SEC after the date of this
report. In addition, the Company operates in a highly competitive, consumer and technology-driven
and rapidly changing business. The Companys business is affected by government regulation,
economic, strategic, political and social conditions, consumer response to new and existing
products and services, technological developments and, particularly in view of new technologies,
its continued ability to protect and secure any necessary intellectual property rights. TWCs
actual results could differ materially from managements expectations because of changes in such
factors.
Further, lower than expected valuations associated with the Companys cash flows and revenues
may result in the Companys inability to realize the value of recorded intangibles and goodwill.
Additionally, achieving the Companys financial objectives could be adversely affected by the
factors discussed in detail in Item 1A, Risk Factors, in the 2007 Form 10-K and the June 2008
Form 10-Q, as well as:
|
|
|
a continuation of the current economic slowdown or further deterioration in the economy; |
|
|
|
|
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,
including the Companys planned separation from Time Warner; |
|
|
|
|
the failure to meet earnings expectations; and |
|
|
|
|
any reduction in the Company's ability to access the
capital markets for debt securities or bank financings, including as
a result of current liquidity issues affecting the capital markets. |

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company, under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including the
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and
operation of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule
13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that
evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that the
Companys disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to
be disclosed in reports filed or submitted by the Company under the Exchange Act is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms
and that information required to be disclosed by the Company is accumulated and communicated to the
Companys management to allow timely decisions regarding the required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have not been any changes in the Companys internal control over financial reporting
during the quarter ended September 30, 2008 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely
to materially affect, its internal control over financial reporting.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Time Warner Cable Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, TWC or the Company) is the
second-largest cable operator in the U.S., with technologically advanced, well-clustered systems
located mainly in five geographic areas New York State (including New York City), the Carolinas,
Ohio, southern California (including Los Angeles) and Texas. As of September 30, 2008, TWC served
approximately 14.7 million customers who subscribed to one or more of its video, high-speed data
and voice services, representing approximately 34.2 million revenue generating units.
Time Warner Inc. (Time Warner) owns approximately 84% of the common stock of TWC
(representing a 90.6% voting interest), and also owns an indirect 12.43% non-voting common stock
interest in TW NY Cable Holding Inc. (TW NY), a subsidiary of TWC. The financial results of
TWCs operations are consolidated by Time Warner. On May 20, 2008, TWC and its subsidiaries, Time
Warner Entertainment Company, L.P. (TWE) and TW NY, entered into a Separation Agreement (the
Separation Agreement) with Time Warner and its subsidiaries, Warner Communications Inc. (WCI),
Historic TW Inc. (Historic TW) and American Television and Communications Corporation (ATC),
the terms of which will govern TWCs legal and structural separation from Time Warner. Refer to
Note 3 for further details.
TWC principally offers three services video, high-speed data and voice over its broadband
cable systems. TWC markets its services separately and in bundled packages of multiple services
and features. As of September 30, 2008, 53% of TWCs customers subscribed to two or more of its
primary services, including 20% of its customers who subscribed to all three primary services.
Historically, TWC has focused primarily on residential customers, while also selling video,
high-speed data and networking and transport services to commercial customers. During 2007, TWC
also began selling voice services to small- and medium-sized businesses as part of an increased
emphasis on its commercial business. In addition, TWC earns revenues by selling advertising time
to national, regional and local customers.
Video is TWCs largest service in terms of revenues generated and, as of September 30, 2008,
TWC had approximately 13.3 million basic video subscribers, of which approximately 8.6 million
subscribed to TWCs digital video service. Although providing video services is a competitive and
highly penetrated business, TWC continues to increase video revenues through the offering of
advanced digital video services, as well as through price increases and digital video subscriber
growth. TWCs digital video subscribers provide a broad base of potential customers for additional
services.
As of September 30, 2008, TWC had approximately 8.3 million residential high-speed data
subscribers. TWC also offers commercial high-speed data services and had 295,000 commercial
high-speed data subscribers as of September 30, 2008.
As of September 30, 2008, TWC had approximately 3.6 million residential Digital Phone
subscribers. TWC rolled out Business Class Phone, a commercial Digital Phone service, to small-
and medium-sized businesses during 2007 in the majority of its systems and has nearly completed the
roll-out in the remainder of its systems during the first nine months of 2008. As of September 30,
2008, TWC had 23,000 commercial Digital Phone subscribers.

TIME WARNER CABLE INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
(Unaudited)
The consolidated financial statements include 100% of the assets, liabilities, revenues,
expenses and cash flows of TWC and all entities in which TWC has a controlling voting interest, as
well as allocations of certain Time Warner corporate costs deemed reasonable by management to
present the Companys consolidated results of operations, financial position, changes in equity and
cash flows on a stand-alone basis. The Time Warner corporate costs include specified
administrative services, including selected tax, human resources, legal, information technology,
treasury, financial, public policy and corporate and investor relations services, and approximate
Time Warners estimated cost for services rendered. In accordance with Financial Accounting
Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 46 (revised 2003), Consolidation of Variable Interest
Entitiesan interpretation of ARB No. 51, the consolidated financial statements include the results
of Time Warner Entertainment-Advance/Newhouse Partnership (TWE-A/N) only for the systems that are
controlled by TWC and for which TWC holds an economic interest. Intercompany accounts and
transactions between consolidated companies have been eliminated in consolidation.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts
reported in the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.
Significant estimates inherent in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements
include accounting for asset impairments, allowances for doubtful accounts, investments,
depreciation and amortization, business combinations, pension benefits, equity-based compensation,
income taxes, contingencies and certain programming arrangements. Allocation methodologies used to
prepare the consolidated financial statements are based on estimates and have been described in the
notes, where appropriate.
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior years financial information to conform
to the September 30, 2008 presentation.
Interim Financial Statements
The consolidated financial statements are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management,
they contain all the adjustments (consisting of those of a normal recurring nature) considered
necessary to present fairly the financial position, the results of operations and cash flows for
the periods presented in conformity with GAAP applicable to interim periods. The consolidated
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial
statements of TWC included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 2007 (the 2007 Form 10-K).
Investment in The Reserve Fund
The Company invests its cash and equivalents in a combination of money market, government and
treasury funds, as well as bank certificates of deposit, in accordance with the Companys
investment policy of diversifying its investments and limiting the amount of its investments in a
single entity or fund. Consistent with the foregoing, the Company invested a portion of the cash
proceeds of the 2008 Bond Offering (as defined below) in The Reserve Funds Primary Fund (The Reserve Fund). On the
29
TIME WARNER CABLE INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
(Unaudited)
morning of September 15, 2008, the Company requested a full redemption of its $490 million
investment in The Reserve Fund, but the redemption request was not honored. On September 22, 2008,
The Reserve Fund announced that redemptions of shares were suspended pursuant to an SEC order
requested by The Reserve Fund so that an orderly liquidation could be effected. On October 31,
2008, the Company received $249 million from The Reserve Fund representing its pro rata share of a
partial distribution. The Company has not been informed as to when the remaining amount will be
returned. However, the Company believes its remaining receivable is recoverable and will be
distributed in the next twelve months as The Reserve Funds investments mature. As a result of the
status of The Reserve Fund, the Company has classified the $490 million receivable from The
Reserve Fund as of September 30, 2008 as prepaid expenses and other current assets on the Companys
consolidated balance sheet and within investments and acquisitions, net of cash acquired and
distributions received, on the Companys consolidated statement of cash flows.
Net Income per Common Share
Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average
of common shares outstanding during the period. Weighted-average common shares include shares of
Class A common stock and Class B common stock. Diluted net income per common share adjusts basic
net income per common share for the effects of stock options and restricted stock units only in the
periods in which such effect is dilutive. Set forth below is a reconciliation of basic and diluted
net income per common share (in millions, except per share data):

2. RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
Accounting Standards Adopted in 2008
Consideration Given by a Service Provider to Manufacturers or Resellers of Equipment
On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted the provisions of Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF)
Issue No. 06-1, Accounting for Consideration Given by a Service Provider to Manufacturers or
Resellers of Equipment Necessary for an End-Customer to Receive Service from the Service Provider
(EITF 06-1). EITF 06-1 provides that consideration provided to the manufacturers or resellers of
specialized equipment should be accounted for as a reduction of revenue if the consideration
provided is in the form of cash and the service provider directs that such cash be provided
directly to the customer. Otherwise, the consideration should be recorded as an expense. The
adoption of the provisions of EITF 06-1 did not have a material impact on the Companys
consolidated financial statements.
Accounting for Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements
On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted the provisions of EITF Issue No. 06-10, Accounting for
Collateral Assignment Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements (EITF 06-10), which requires that
a company recognize a liability for the postretirement benefits associated with collateral
assignment split-dollar life insurance arrangements. The provisions of EITF 06-10 are applicable
in instances where the
30
TIME WARNER CABLE INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
(Unaudited)
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 adoption of EITF 06-10 did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial
statements.
On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted certain provisions of FASB Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (Statement) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (FAS 157), which establishes
the authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value and
expands the required disclosures about fair value measurement. The provisions of FAS 157 adopted
on January 1, 2008 relate to financial assets and liabilities, as well as other assets and
liabilities carried at fair value on a recurring basis and did not have a material impact on the
Companys consolidated financial statements. The provisions of FAS 157 related to other
nonfinancial assets and liabilities will be effective for TWC on January 1, 2009, and will be
applied prospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the provisions of FAS
157 related to other nonfinancial assets and liabilities will have on the Companys consolidated
financial statements.
Recent Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions are Participating
Securities
In June 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position (FSP) EITF Issue No. 03-6-1, Determining
Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities (FSP
EITF 03-6-1), in which the FASB concluded that all outstanding unvested share-based payment awards
that contain rights to nonforfeitable dividends (such as restricted stock units granted by the
Company) are considered participating securities. Because the awards are considered participating
securities, the issuing entity is required to apply the two-class method of computing basic and
diluted earnings per share. The provisions of FSP EITF 03-6-1 will be effective for TWC on January
1, 2009 and will be applied retrospectively to all prior-period earnings per share computations.
The adoption of FSP EITF 03-6-1 is not expected to have a material impact on earnings per share
amounts in prior periods.
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations
(FAS 141R). FAS 141R establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer in a business
combination (i) recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets
acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree, (ii) recognizes
and measures the goodwill acquired in a business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase, and
(iii) determines what information to disclose to enable users of financial statements to evaluate
the nature and financial effects of the business combination. FAS 141R will be applied
prospectively to business combinations that have an acquisition date on or after January 1, 2009.
The provisions of FAS 141R will not impact the Companys consolidated financial statements for
prior periods.
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated
Financial Statementsan amendment of ARB No. 51 (FAS 160). The provisions of FAS 160 establish
accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary including the
accounting treatment upon the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. The provisions of FAS 160 will be
effective for TWC on January 1, 2009 and will be applied prospectively, except for the presentation
of the noncontrolling interests, which for all prior periods will be reclassified to equity in the
consolidated balance sheet and

adjusted out of net income in the consolidated statement of operations. The Company is
currently evaluating the impact the provisions of FAS 160 will have on the Companys consolidated
financial statements.
3. SEPARATION FROM TIME WARNER
On May 20, 2008, TWC and its subsidiaries, TWE and TW NY, entered into the Separation
Agreement with Time Warner and its subsidiaries, WCI, Historic TW and ATC. TWCs separation from
Time Warner will take place through a series of related transactions, the occurrence of each of
which is a condition to the next. First, Time Warner will complete certain internal restructuring
transactions. Next, following the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, including those
described below, Historic TW will transfer its 12.43% non-voting common stock interest in TW NY to
TWC in exchange for 80 million newly issued shares of TWCs Class A common stock (the TW NY
Exchange). Following the TW NY Exchange, Time Warner will complete certain additional
restructuring steps that will make Time Warner the direct owner of all shares of TWCs Class A
common stock and Class B common stock previously held by its subsidiaries (all of Time Warners
restructuring transaction steps being referred to collectively as the TW Internal Restructuring).
Upon completion of the TW Internal Restructuring, TWCs board of directors or a committee thereof
will declare a special cash dividend to holders of TWCs outstanding Class A common stock and Class
B common stock, including Time Warner, in an amount equal to $10.27 per share (aggregating $10.855
billion) (the Special Dividend). The Special Dividend will be paid prior to the completion of
TWCs separation from Time Warner. Following the receipt by Time Warner of the Special Dividend,
TWC will file with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware an amended and restated
certificate of incorporation, pursuant to which, among other things, each outstanding share of TWC
Class A common stock (including any shares of Class A common stock issued in the TW NY Exchange)
and TWC Class B common stock will automatically be converted into one share of common stock, par
value $.01 per share (the TWC Common Stock) (the Recapitalization). Once the TW NY Exchange,
the TW Internal Restructuring, the payment of the Special Dividend and the Recapitalization have
been completed, TWCs separation from Time Warner (the Separation) will proceed in the form of
either a pro rata dividend of all shares of TWC Common Stock held by Time Warner to holders of Time
Warners common stock or through the consummation by Time Warner of an exchange offer of shares of
TWC Common Stock for shares of Time Warners common stock. If the Separation is effected as an
exchange offer, after consummation of the exchange offer, Time Warner will distribute to its
stockholders, as a pro rata dividend, any TWC Common Stock that it continues to hold. The
distribution by Time Warner of all shares of TWC Common Stock held by Time Warner to its
stockholders as (a) a pro rata dividend, (b) an exchange offer or (c) a combination thereof is
referred to as the Distribution. The Separation, the TW NY Exchange, the TW Internal
Restructuring, the Special Dividend, the Recapitalization and the Distribution collectively are
referred to as the Separation Transactions.
The Special Dividend generally will constitute a dividend for United States federal income tax
purposes to the extent paid from TWCs current or accumulated earnings and profits (e&p), as
determined under United States federal income tax principles. Distributions in excess of e&p
generally will constitute a return of capital that will be applied against and reduce (but not
below zero) a stockholders adjusted tax basis in TWC Class A and Class B common stock. Any
remaining excess will be treated as a gain as if realized on the sale or other disposition of the stock.
The Company currently expects that between 35% and 40% of the Special Dividend paid to the public
stockholders would be taxed as a dividend. The remainder of the distribution would be
characterized as a return of capital (to the extent of the stockholders adjusted tax basis) and
thereafter as a gain realized on the sale or other disposition of the stock. The foregoing
estimate assumes that the Special Dividend is paid on December 31, 2008 and may change depending
upon a number of factors, including completion of an ongoing e&p study, actual financial/tax
results and the timing of the Special Dividend. The Company can make no assurances as to the tax
treatment of the Special Dividend and stockholders should consult their own tax advisors on such
tax treatment.

TIME WARNER CABLE INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
(Unaudited)
Time Warner has the sole discretion, after consultation with TWC, to determine whether the
Separation will be effected as a pro rata dividend or through an exchange offer with its
stockholders, which decision has not yet been made.
The Separation Agreement contains customary covenants, and consummation of the Separation
Transactions is subject to customary closing conditions, including customary regulatory reviews and
local franchise approvals, the receipt by Time Warner of a private letter ruling from the Internal
Revenue Service indicating that the Separation Transactions will generally qualify as tax-free for
Time Warner and Time Warners stockholders, the receipt of certain tax opinions and the entry into
the 2008 Bridge Facility and the Supplemental Facility (each as defined in Note 4). Time Warner
and TWC expect the Separation Transactions to be consummated by early 2009.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
(Unaudited)
Refer to the 2007 Form 10-K for further details regarding the Companys outstanding debt and
mandatorily redeemable preferred equity and other financing arrangements entered into prior to
2008, including certain information about maturities, covenants, rating triggers and bank credit
agreement leverage ratios relating to such debt and financing arrangements.
As noted above, as of September 30, 2008, TWC had $5.743 billion of available borrowing
capacity under the Cable Revolving Facility and $3.771 billion of borrowing capacity under the 2008
Bridge Facility. TWC may not borrow any amounts under the 2008 Bridge Facility unless and until
the Special Dividend is declared in connection with the Separation. The 2008 Bridge Facility
consists of commitments of approximately $269 million from each of 14 institutions, consisting of
affiliates of Bank of America, N.A., The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, LTD., Barclays Bank Plc, BNP
Paribas Securities Corp., Citibank, N.A., Deutsche Bank AG, Fortis Bank SA/NV, Goldman Sachs Bank
USA, Mizuho Corporate Bank, LTD., Morgan Stanley Bank, The Royal Bank of Scotland PLC, Sumitomo
Mitsui Banking Corporation, UBS Loan Finance LLC and Wachovia Bank, National Association. These
same financial institutions also comprise approximately 70% of the commitments under the Cable
Revolving Facility. Recently, a number of these lenders have entered into agreements to acquire or
to be acquired by other financial institutions. TWC believes that these transactions will not
adversely affect the commitments under the 2008 Bridge Facility and the Cable Revolving Facility.
The Companys bank credit agreements do not contain borrowing restrictions due to material adverse
changes in the Companys business or market disruption.
In addition, Lehman Brothers Commercial Bank (LBCB) and Lehman Brothers Bank, FSB (LBB),
subsidiaries of Lehman, are lenders under the 2008 Bridge Facility and the Companys $6.0 billion
senior unsecured five-year revolving credit facility (the Cable Revolving Facility),
respectively, with undrawn commitments of $269 million and $125 million, respectively. On
September 15, 2008, Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. (Lehman) filed a petition under Chapter 11 of
the U.S. Bankruptcy Code with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the
Lehman Bankruptcy). TWC has not requested to borrow under either the 2008 Bridge Facility or the
Cable Revolving Facility since the Lehman Bankruptcy, and neither LBCB nor LBB has been placed in
receivership or a similar proceeding as of November 4, 2008. While the Company believes that LBCB
and LBB are contractually obligated under the 2008 Bridge Facility and the Cable Revolving
Facility, respectively, it is uncertain whether LBCB or LBB would fund its respective portion of
any future borrowing requests or whether another lender might assume such commitments.
Accordingly, the Companys unused committed capacity as of September 30, 2008 excludes the undrawn
commitments of LBCB and LBB. The Company believes that it continues to have sufficient liquidity
to meet its needs for the foreseeable future, including payment of the Special Dividend, even if
LBCB and/or LBB fails to fund its portion of any future borrowing requests.
On June 16, 2008, TWC filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (the Shelf
Registration Statement) with the Securities and Exchange Commission that allows TWC to offer and
sell from time to time senior and subordinated debt securities and debt warrants. On June 19,
2008, TWC issued $5.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes and
debentures under the Shelf Registration Statement (the 2008 Bond Offering), consisting of $1.5
billion principal amount of 6.20% notes due 2013 (the 2013 Notes), $2.0 billion principal amount
of 6.75% notes due 2018 (the 2018 Notes) and $1.5 billion principal amount of 7.30% debentures
due 2038 (the 2038 Debentures and, together with the 2013 Notes and the 2018 Notes, the 2008
Debt Securities). The Company expects to use the net proceeds of $4.963 billion from this
issuance to finance, in part, the Special Dividend. If the Separation is not consummated and the
Special Dividend is not paid, the Company will use the net proceeds from the issuance of the 2008
Debt Securities for general corporate purposes, including repayment of indebtedness. Pending the
payment of the Special Dividend, a portion of the net proceeds of the 2008 Bond Offering was
34

used to repay variable-rate debt with lower interest rates and the remainder was invested in
accordance with the Companys investment policy. The 2008 Debt Securities are guaranteed by TWE
and TW NY (the Guarantors).
The 2008 Debt Securities were issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of April 9, 2007, as
it may be amended from time to time (the Indenture), by and among the Company, the Guarantors and
The Bank of New York, as trustee. The Indenture contains customary covenants relating to
restrictions on the ability of the Company or any material subsidiary to create liens and on the
ability of the Company and the Guarantors to consolidate, merge or convey or transfer substantially
all of their assets. The Indenture also contains customary events of default.
The 2013 Notes mature on July 1, 2013, the 2018 Notes mature on July 1, 2018 and the 2038
Debentures mature on July 1, 2038. Interest on the 2008 Debt Securities is payable semi-annually in
arrears on January 1 and July 1 of each year, beginning on January 1, 2009. The 2008 Debt
Securities are unsecured senior obligations of the Company and rank equally with its other
unsecured and unsubordinated obligations. The guarantees of the 2008 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 2008 Debt Securities may be redeemed in whole or in part at any time at the Companys
option at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the 2008
Debt Securities being redeemed and (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled
payments on the 2008 Debt Securities discounted to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis at a
government treasury rate plus 40 basis points for each of the 2013 Notes, 2018 Notes and the 2038
Debentures as further described in the Indenture and the 2008 Debt Securities, plus, in each case,
accrued but unpaid interest to the redemption date.
In addition to issuing the 2008 Debt Securities described above, on June 30, 2008, the Company
entered into a credit agreement with certain financial institutions for a senior unsecured term
loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $9.0 billion with an initial maturity date that
is 364 days after the borrowing date (the 2008 Bridge Facility) in order to finance, in part, the
Special Dividend. Subject to certain limited exceptions, to the extent the Company incurs debt
(other than an incurrence of debt under the Cable Revolving Facility and its existing commercial
paper program), issues equity securities or completes asset sales prior to drawing on the 2008
Bridge Facility, the commitments of the lenders under the 2008 Bridge Facility will be reduced by
an amount equal to the net cash proceeds from any such incurrence, issuance or sale. As a result
of the 2008 Bond Offering, the amount of the commitments of the lenders under the 2008 Bridge
Facility was reduced to $4.040 billion. As discussed above, the Company is not certain whether
LBCB will fund its $269 million in commitments under the 2008 Bridge Facility, and, therefore, the
Company has included only $3.771 billion of commitments under the 2008 Bridge Facility in its
unused committed capacity as of September 30, 2008. The Company may elect to extend the maturity
date of the loans outstanding under the 2008 Bridge Facility for an additional year. In the event
the Company borrows any amounts under the 2008 Bridge Facility, subject to certain limited
exceptions, the Company is required to use the net cash proceeds from any subsequent incurrence of
debt (other than an incurrence of debt under the Cable Revolving Facility and its existing
commercial paper program), issuance of equity securities and asset sale to prepay amounts
outstanding under the 2008 Bridge Facility. The Company may prepay amounts outstanding under the
2008 Bridge Facility at any time without penalty or premium, subject to minimum amounts. TWC may
not borrow any amounts under the 2008 Bridge Facility unless and until the Special Dividend is
declared in connection with the Separation.
TWCs obligations under the 2008 Bridge Facility are guaranteed by TWE and TW NY. Amounts
outstanding under the 2008 Bridge Facility will bear interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus an
applicable

margin based on the Companys credit rating, which margin, at the time of the Separation, is
expected to be 100 basis points. In addition, the per annum interest rate under the 2008 Bridge
Facility will increase by 25 basis points every six months until all amounts outstanding under the
2008 Bridge Facility are repaid.
The 2008 Bridge Facility contains a maximum leverage ratio covenant of five times the
consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the credit agreement) of TWC. The 2008 Bridge Facility also
contains conditions, covenants, representations and warranties and events of default substantially
identical to those contained in the Companys existing $3.045 billion five-year term loan facility
maturing on February 21, 2011.
The financial institutions commitments to fund borrowings under the 2008 Bridge Facility will
expire upon the earliest of (i) May 19, 2009, (ii) the date on which the Separation Agreement is
terminated in accordance with its terms or (iii) the completion of the Separation.
The Supplemental Facility
In May 2008, Time Warner (as lender) committed to lend TWC (as borrower) up to an aggregate
principal amount of $3.5 billion under a two-year senior unsecured supplemental term loan facility
(the Supplemental Facility). TWC may borrow under the Supplemental Facility at the final
maturity of the 2008 Bridge Facility to repay amounts then outstanding under the 2008 Bridge
Facility, if any. As a result of the 2008 Bond Offering, Time Warners original commitment under
the Supplemental Facility was reduced by $980 million to $2.520 billion. TWCs obligations under
the Supplemental Facility will be guaranteed by TWE and TW NY.
Time Warners commitment under the Supplemental Facility will be further reduced by (i) 50% of
any additional amounts by which the commitments under the 2008 Bridge Facility are further reduced
by the net cash proceeds of subsequent issuances of debt or equity or certain asset sales by the
Company prior to the Companys borrowing under the 2008 Bridge Facility and (ii) the amount by
which borrowing availability under the Cable Revolving Facility exceeds $2.0 billion on the date of
borrowing under the Supplemental Facility. After the date of borrowing under the Supplemental
Facility, subject to certain limited exceptions, TWC is required to use the net cash proceeds from
any incurrence of debt (other than an incurrence of debt under the Cable Revolving Facility and its
existing commercial paper program), issuance of equity securities and asset sale to prepay amounts
outstanding under the Supplemental Facility. In addition, (i) on any date on which the commitments
under the Cable Revolving Facility are increased in excess of the current $6.0 billion amount or
(ii) on the last day of each fiscal quarter on which availability under the Cable Revolving
Facility exceeds $2.0 billion, TWC must use 100% of the excess amounts to prepay amounts
outstanding under the Supplemental Facility. TWC may prepay amounts outstanding under the
Supplemental Facility at any time without penalty or premium, subject to minimum amounts.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Company capitalized debt issuance costs of
$87 million in connection with the 2008 Bridge Facility and the 2008 Bond Offering. For the nine
months ended September 30, 2007, the Company capitalized debt issuance costs of $28 million in
connection with the $5.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes and
debentures issued on April 9, 2007. These capitalized costs are amortized over the term of the
related debt instrument and are included as a component of interest expense. For the nine months
ended September 30, 2008, the Company expensed $33 million of debt issuance costs due primarily to
the reduction of the commitments under the 2008 Bridge Facility as a result of the 2008 Bond
Offering, which is included as a component of interest expense, net, in the consolidated statement
of operations.

5. GOODWILL AND INDEFINITE-LIVED INTANGIBLE ASSETS IMPAIRMENT TESTING
As discussed in more detail in the 2007 Form 10-K, goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible
assets, primarily the Companys cable franchise rights, are tested annually for impairment during
the fourth quarter, or earlier upon the occurrence of certain events or substantive changes in
circumstances. As a result of entering into the Separation Agreement, the Company was required
under FASB Statement No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (FAS 142) to test goodwill and
cable franchise rights as of May 20, 2008 (the interim testing date).
The impairment test was performed on a basis consistent with the analysis performed as of
December 31, 2007. In performing goodwill impairment testing, the Company determines the fair
value of each reporting unit by using two valuation techniques: a discounted cash flow (DCF)
analysis and a market-based approach. The Company determines the fair value of the cable franchise
rights of a reporting unit using a DCF valuation analysis. A DCF valuation requires the exercise
of significant judgments, including judgments about appropriate discount rates based on the
assessment of risks inherent in the projected future cash flows and the amount and timing of
expected future cash flows, including expected cash flows beyond the Companys current long-term
business planning period. In assessing the reasonableness of its determined fair values, the
Company evaluates its results against other value indicators such as comparable company public
trading values, research analyst estimates and values observed in private market transactions.
The Companys interim impairment analysis did not result in any impairment charges during the
second quarter of 2008. However, the fair values of the cable franchise rights in certain of the
Companys reporting units, particularly the Texas reporting unit, were at or only modestly in
excess of their carrying values. Accordingly, any future declines in the estimated fair values of
the cable franchise rights in one or more of such reporting units would likely result in noncash
cable franchise rights impairment charges.
To illustrate the magnitude of a potential impairment charge related to changes in estimated
fair value, had the fair values of each of the reporting units and their respective cable franchise
rights been lower by 10% as of the interim testing date, the Company would have recorded cable
franchise rights impairment charges of approximately $750 million, and had each of the fair values
been lower by 20%, the Company would have recorded cable franchise rights impairment charges of
approximately $3.7 billion. In neither of these cases would the Company have been required to
record goodwill impairment charges.
The Company has concluded that an interim impairment test is not required as of September 30,
2008. However, economic conditions currently affecting the U.S. economy and recent declines in
TWCs stock price may have a negative impact on the fair values of the Companys franchise
intangibles and reporting units, which may result in the Company recognizing an impairment when the
Company performs its annual test during the fourth quarter of 2008.
6. SALE OF CERTAIN CABLE SYSTEMS
In June 2008, the Company entered into an agreement to sell a group of small cable systems,
serving approximately 80,000 basic video subscribers and approximately 125,000 revenue generating
units as of September 30, 2008, located in areas outside of the Companys core geographic clusters.
The sale price is approximately $53 million, subject to certain adjustments. The Company expects
the sale of these cable systems will close during the fourth quarter of 2008, subject to obtaining
customary regulatory approvals. The Company does not expect that the sale of these systems will
have a material impact on the Companys future financial results; however, as a result of a
probable loss on the sale of these systems, the Company recorded a pretax impairment loss of $45
million during the second quarter of 2008.

Sprint/Clearwire Joint Venture
In May 2008, TWC, Intel Corporation, Google Inc., Comcast Corporation (together with its
subsidiaries, Comcast) and Bright House Networks, LLC entered into agreements to collectively
invest $3.2 billion in a wireless communications joint venture (the Sprint/Clearwire Joint
Venture), which is expected to be formed by Sprint Nextel Corporation (Sprint) and Clearwire
Corporation (Clearwire). TWCs share of such investment is expected to be approximately $550
million, which it expects to fund with cash on hand, borrowings under the Cable Revolving Facility,
its commercial paper program or a combination thereof. Once formed, the Sprint/Clearwire Joint
Venture will be focused on deploying the first nationwide fourth-generation wireless network to
provide mobile broadband services to wholesale and retail customers. In connection with its
anticipated investment in the Sprint/Clearwire Joint Venture, TWC has entered into a wholesale
agreement with Sprint that allows TWC to offer wireless services utilizing Sprints 2G/3G network.
Upon closing, TWC also expects to enter into a wholesale agreement with the Sprint/Clearwire Joint
Venture that would allow TWC to offer wireless services utilizing the Sprint/Clearwire Joint
Ventures broadband wireless network. The closing of these transactions, which is expected to
occur by the end of 2008, is subject to certain closing conditions. There can be no
assurance that the formation of the Sprint/Clearwire Joint Venture will be completed, or, if
completed, that the Sprint/Clearwire Joint Venture would successfully finance and deploy a
nationwide mobile broadband network. If completed, the Companys investment in the
Sprint/Clearwire Joint Venture would be accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The
Company expects that the Sprint/Clearwire Joint Venture would incur losses in its early periods of
operation.
TWC is a participant in a wireless spectrum joint venture with several other cable companies
(the Wireless Joint Venture) that holds 137 advanced wireless spectrum (AWS) licenses. These
licenses cover 20 MHz of AWS in about 90% of the continental United States and Hawaii. The Federal
Communications Commission awarded these licenses to the Wireless Joint Venture on November 20,
2006. Under certain circumstances, the members of the Wireless Joint Venture have the ability to
exit the venture and receive from the venture, subject to certain limitations and adjustments, AWS
licenses covering the areas in which they provide cable services. On October 24, 2008, the
Wireless Joint Venture agreed to redeem the 10.9% interest held by an affiliate of Cox
Communications, Inc. (Cox). Under the agreement, the closing of which is subject to receipt of
customary regulatory approvals, Cox will exit the Wireless Joint Venture and receive AWS
licenses, principally covering areas in which Cox provides cable services, and a cash payment of
$70 million. Following the closing of the Cox transaction, the Wireless Joint Ventures AWS
licenses would cover over 80% of the continental United States and Hawaii. TWC expects to
contribute approximately $22 million to the Wireless Joint Venture during the fourth quarter of
2008 or early 2009 to fund its share of the payment to Cox.
Texas and Kansas City Cable Partners, L.P. Joint Venture
Texas and Kansas City Cable Partners, L.P. (TKCCP) was a 50-50 joint venture between a
consolidated subsidiary of TWC (TWE-A/N) and Comcast. On January 1, 2007, TKCCP distributed its
assets to its partners. TWC received certain cable assets located in Kansas City, south and west
Texas and New Mexico (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, TWC
treated the distribution of TKCCPs assets as a sale of TWCs 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 TWCs 50% equity interest in the Houston Pool,

8. EQUITY-BASED COMPENSATION
Prior to 2007, Time Warner granted options to purchase Time Warner common stock and shares of
Time Warner common stock (restricted stock) or restricted stock units (RSUs) under its equity
plans (collectively, the Time Warner Equity Awards) to employees of TWC. TWC recognizes
compensation expense for the fair value of such awards according to the provisions of FASB
Statement No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment. Time Warner has not granted Time Warner
Equity Awards to employees of TWC since TWC Class A common stock began to trade publicly in March
2007. In addition, employees of Time Warner who become employed by TWC retain their Time Warner
Equity Awards pursuant to their terms and TWC records equity-based compensation expense from the
date of transfer through the end of the applicable vesting period. The stock options granted by
Time Warner to employees of TWC were granted with exercise prices equal to, or in excess of, the
fair market value of a share of Time Warner common stock 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. The awards of restricted stock or RSUs generally vest between three to five years from the
date of grant. Holders of Time Warner restricted stock and RSU awards are generally entitled to
receive cash dividends or dividend equivalents, respectively, paid by Time Warner during the period
of time that the restricted stock or RSU awards are unvested. Certain Time Warner stock options
and RSU awards provide for accelerated vesting upon an election to retire pursuant to TWCs defined
benefit retirement plans or after reaching a specified age and years of service.
In connection with the Separation Transactions, and as provided for in Time Warners equity
plans, Time Warner contemplates that the number of Time Warner stock options and RSUs outstanding
at the Separation and the exercise prices of such stock options will be adjusted to maintain the
fair value of those awards. The changes in the number and the exercise prices of equity awards
will be determined by comparing the fair value of such awards immediately prior to the Separation
Transactions to the fair value of such awards immediately after the Separation Transactions. The
modifications to the outstanding equity awards will be made pursuant to existing antidilution
provisions in Time Warners equity plans.
Under the terms of Time Warners equity plans and related award agreements, as a result of the
Separation, TWC employees who hold Time Warner equity awards will be treated as if their employment
with Time Warner had been terminated without cause at the time of the Separation. This treatment
will result in the forfeiture of unvested stock options and shortened exercise periods for vested
stock options and pro rata vesting of the next installment of (and forfeiture of the remainder of)
the RSU awards for those TWC employees who do not satisfy retirement-treatment eligibility
provisions in the Time Warner equity plans and related award agreements. TWC plans to grant
make-up TWC equity awards or make cash payments to TWC employees that are generally intended to
offset any loss of economic value in Time Warner equity awards as a result of the Separation.
The Time Warner Cable Inc. 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (the 2006 Plan) provides for the
issuance of up to 100 million shares of TWC Class A common stock to directors, employees and
certain non-employee advisors of TWC. Stock options have been granted under the 2006 Plan with
exercise prices equal to the fair market value of TWC Class A common stock at the date of grant.
Generally, the stock options vest ratably over a four-year vesting period and expire ten years from
the date of grant. Certain stock option awards provide for accelerated vesting upon an election to
retire pursuant to TWCs defined benefit retirement plans or after reaching a specified age and
years of service. For the nine months ended

Pursuant to the 2006 Plan, the Company also granted RSU awards, which generally vest over a
four-year period from the date of grant. Certain RSU awards provide for accelerated vesting upon
an election to retire pursuant to TWCs defined benefit retirement plans or after reaching a
specified age and years of service. Shares of TWC Class A common stock will generally be issued in
connection with the vesting of an RSU. RSUs awarded to non-employee directors are not subject to
vesting restrictions and the shares underlying the RSUs will be issued in connection with a
directors termination of service as a director. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, TWC
granted approximately 2.9 million RSUs at a weighted-average grant date fair value of $27.57 per
RSU. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, TWC granted approximately 2.1 million RSUs at a
weighted-average grant date fair value of $37.07 per RSU.
In connection with the Special Dividend, and as provided for in the Companys equity plans and
related award agreements, the number and the exercise prices of outstanding TWC stock options will
be adjusted to maintain the fair value of those awards. The changes in the number of shares
subject to options and exercise prices will be determined by comparing the fair value of such
awards immediately prior to the Special Dividend to the fair value of such awards immediately after
the Special Dividend. The modifications to the outstanding equity awards will be made pursuant to
existing antidilution provisions in TWCs equity plans and related award agreements.

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. As of December 31, 2007, the Companys funded defined benefit pension plans were fully funded.
Between January 1, 2008 and October 31, 2008, the Companys plan assets have experienced estimated
market losses of approximately $400 million. The Company expects that the impact to the funded
status of the defined benefit pension plans from these 2008 market losses will be at least
partially offset by contributions made during the year and an expected increase in discount rates
that will reduce the projected benefit obligation. The Company has made $175 million of
discretionary cash contributions to its funded defined benefit pension plans during the nine months
ended September 30, 2008 ($200 million through October 31, 2008) and, subject to market conditions
and other considerations, the Company expects to make additional discretionary cash contributions
totaling at least $50 million during November and December. Discount rates for purposes of
calculating TWCs projected benefit obligation are determined based on a hypothetical portfolio of
high-quality bonds. In accordance with the accounting standards relating to pension accounting,
the Company measures its projected benefit obligation annually, which is performed at the end of
December. Each fifty basis point increase in the discount rate of 6.00% that was used to measure
the projected benefit obligation as of December 31, 2007 would have resulted in an approximate $100
million reduction in the projected benefit obligation. For the Companys unfunded plan, contributions will
continue to be made to the extent benefits are paid. Benefit payments for the unfunded plan are
expected to be approximately $2 million in 2008, of which $1 million has been contributed as of
September 30, 2008.
10. MERGER-RELATED AND RESTRUCTURING COSTS
Cumulatively, through December 31, 2007, the Company expensed non-capitalizable merger-related
costs of $56 million associated with the 2006 transactions with Adelphia Communications Corporation
and Comcast, which had been fully paid as of December 31, 2007. For the nine months ended
September 30, 2007, the Company incurred costs of $10 million and made payments of $13 million
associated with merger-related activities.
The Company has incurred cumulative restructuring costs of $79 million since 2005 as part of
its broader plans to simplify its organizational structure and enhance its customer focus, and
payments of $66 million have been made against this accrual as of September 30, 2008. Of the
remaining $13 million liability, $6 million is classified as a current liability and $7 million is
classified as a noncurrent liability in the consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2008.
Amounts are expected to be paid through 2011.

District Court for the Central District of California against the Company and Time Warner. The
complaint, which also named as defendants several other programming content providers
(collectively, the programmer defendants) as well as other cable and satellite providers
(collectively, the distributor defendants), alleged violations of Sections 1 and 2 of the Sherman
Antitrust Act. Among other things, the complaint alleged coordination between and among the
programmer defendants to sell and/or license programming on a bundled basis to the distributor
defendants, who in turn purportedly offer that programming to subscribers in packaged tiers, rather
than on a per channel (or à la carte) basis. Plaintiffs, who seek to represent a purported
nationwide class of cable and satellite subscribers, demand, among other things, unspecified treble
monetary damages and an injunction to compel the offering of channels to subscribers on an à la
carte basis. On December 3, 2007, plaintiffs filed an amended complaint in this action (the
First Amended Complaint) that, among other things, dropped the Section 2 claims and all
allegations of horizontal coordination. On December 21, 2007, the programmer defendants, including
Time Warner, and the distributor defendants, including TWC, filed motions to dismiss the First
Amended Complaint. On March 10, 2008, the court granted these motions, dismissing the First Amended
Complaint with leave to amend. On March 20, 2008, plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint (the
Second Amended Complaint) that modified certain aspects of the First Amended Complaint in an
attempt to address the deficiencies noted by the court in its prior dismissal order. On April 22,
2008, the programmer defendants, including Time Warner, and the distributor defendants, including
the Company, filed motions to dismiss the Second Amended Complaint, which motions were denied by
the court on June 25, 2008. On July 14, 2008, the programmer defendants and the distributor
defendants filed motions requesting the court to certify its June 25, 2008 order for interlocutory
appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, which motions were denied by the
district court on August 4, 2008. The Company intends to defend against this lawsuit vigorously.
On June 22, 2005, Mecklenburg County filed suit against TWE-A/N in the General Court of
Justice District Court Division, Mecklenburg County, North Carolina. Mecklenburg County, the
franchisor in TWE-A/Ns Mecklenburg County cable system, alleges that TWE-A/Ns predecessor failed
to construct an institutional network in 1981 and that TWE-A/N assumed that obligation upon the
transfer of the franchise in 1995. Mecklenburg County is seeking compensatory damages and TWE-A/Ns
release of certain video channels it is currently using on the cable system. On April 14, 2006,
TWE-A/N filed a motion for summary judgment, which is pending. TWE-A/N intends to defend against
this lawsuit vigorously.

On June 16, 1998, plaintiffs in Andrew Parker and Eric DeBrauwere, et al. v. Time Warner
Entertainment Company, L.P. and Time Warner Cable filed a purported nationwide class action in U.S.
District Court for the Eastern District of New York claiming that TWE sold its subscribers
personally identifiable information and failed to inform subscribers of their privacy rights in
violation of the Cable Communications Policy Act of 1984 and common law. The plaintiffs seek
damages and declaratory and injunctive relief. On August 6, 1998, TWE filed a motion to dismiss,
which was denied on September 7, 1999. On December 8, 1999, TWE filed a motion to deny class
certification, which was granted on January 9, 2001 with respect to monetary damages, but denied
with respect to injunctive relief. On June 2, 2003, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second
Circuit vacated the district courts decision denying class certification as a matter of law and
remanded the case for further proceedings on class certification and other matters. On May 4,
2004, plaintiffs filed a motion for class certification, which the Company opposed. On October 25,
2005, the court granted preliminary approval of a class settlement arrangement, but final approval
of that settlement was denied on January 26, 2007. The parties subsequently reached a revised
settlement to resolve this action on terms that are not material to the Company and submitted their
agreement to the district court on April 2, 2008. On May 8, 2008, the district court granted
preliminary approval of the settlement, but it is still subject to final approval by the district
court, and there can be no assurance that the settlement will receive this approval. Absent the
issuance of final court approval of the revised settlement, the Company intends to defend against
this lawsuit vigorously.
Certain Patent Litigation
On September 1, 2006, Ronald A. Katz Technology Licensing, L.P. (Katz) filed a complaint in
the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware alleging that TWC and several other cable
operators, among other defendants, infringe a number of patents purportedly relating to the
Companys customer call center operations and/or voicemail services. The plaintiff is seeking
unspecified monetary damages as well as injunctive relief. On March 20, 2007, this case, together
with other lawsuits filed by Katz, was made subject to a Multidistrict Litigation (MDL) Order
transferring the case for pretrial proceedings to the U.S. District Court for the Central District
of California. In April 2008, TWC and other defendants filed common motions for summary
judgment, which argued, among other things, that a number of claims in the patents at issue are
invalid under Sections 112 and 103 of the Patent Act. On June 19 and August 4, 2008, the court
issued orders granting, in part, and denying, in part, those motions. Defendants filed additional
individual motions for summary judgment in August 2008, which argued, among other things, that
defendants respective products do not infringe the surviving claims in plaintiffs patents. Those
motions have been fully briefed. The Company intends to defend against this lawsuit vigorously.
On July 14, 2006, Hybrid Patents Inc. filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the
Eastern District of Texas alleging that the Company and a number of other cable operators infringed
a patent purportedly relating to high-speed data and IP-based telephony services. This matter has
been settled on terms that are not material to the Company.
On June 1, 2006, Rembrandt Technologies, LP (Rembrandt) filed a complaint in the U.S.
District Court for the Eastern District of Texas alleging that the Company and a number of other
cable operators infringed several patents purportedly related to a variety of technologies,
including high-speed data and IP-based telephony services. In addition, on September 13, 2006,
Rembrandt filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas alleging
that the Company infringes several patents purportedly related to high-speed cable modem internet
products and services. In each of these cases, the plaintiff is seeking unspecified monetary
damages as well as injunctive relief. On June 18, 2007, these cases, along with other lawsuits
filed by Rembrandt, were made subject to an MDL Order transferring the case for pretrial
proceedings to the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware. The Company intends to defend
against these lawsuits vigorously.
On April 26, 2005, Acacia Media Technologies (AMT) filed suit against TWC in the U.S.
District Court for the Southern District of New York alleging that TWC infringes several patents
held by AMT.

(Unaudited)
AMT has publicly taken the position that delivery of broadcast video (except live programming
such as sporting events), pay-per-view, VOD and ad insertion services over cable systems infringe
its patents. AMT has brought similar actions regarding the same patents against numerous other
entities, and all of the previously pending litigations have been made the subject of an MDL Order
consolidating the actions for pretrial activity in the U.S. District Court for the Northern
District of California. On October 25, 2005, the TWC action was consolidated into the MDL
proceedings. The plaintiff is seeking unspecified monetary damages as well as injunctive relief.
The Company intends to defend against this lawsuit vigorously.
From time to time, the Company receives notices from third parties claiming that it infringes
their intellectual property rights. Claims of intellectual property infringement could require TWC
to enter into royalty or licensing agreements on unfavorable terms, incur substantial monetary
liability or be enjoined preliminarily or permanently from further use of the intellectual property
in question. In addition, certain agreements entered may require the Company to indemnify the other
party for certain third-party intellectual property infringement claims, which could increase the
Companys damages and its costs of defending against such claims. Even if the claims are without
merit, defending against the claims can be time consuming and costly.
As part of the 2003 restructuring of TWE, Time Warner agreed to indemnify the cable businesses
of TWE from and against any and all liabilities relating to, arising out of or resulting from
specified litigation matters brought against the TWE non-cable businesses. Although Time Warner has
agreed to indemnify the cable businesses of TWE against such liabilities, TWE remains a named party
in certain litigation matters.
The costs and other effects of pending or future litigation, governmental investigations,
legal and administrative cases and proceedings (whether civil or criminal), settlements, judgments
and investigations, claims and changes in those matters (including those matters described above),
and developments or assertions by or against the Company relating to intellectual property rights
and intellectual property licenses, could have a material adverse effect on the Companys business,
financial condition and operating results.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Time Warner Entertainment Company, L.P. (TWE) and TW NY Cable Holding Inc. (TW NY and,
together with TWE, the Guarantor Subsidiaries) are subsidiaries of Time Warner Cable Inc. (the
Parent Company). The Guarantor Subsidiaries have fully and unconditionally, jointly and
severally, directly or indirectly, guaranteed the debt issued by the Parent Company in its 2007
registered exchange offer and its 2008 public offering. The Parent Company owns 100% of the voting
interests, directly or indirectly, of both TWE and TW NY.
The Securities and Exchange Commissions rules require that condensed consolidating financial
information be provided for subsidiaries that have guaranteed debt of a registrant issued in a
public offering, where each such guarantee is full and unconditional and where the voting interests
of the subsidiaries are 100% owned by the registrant. Set forth below are condensed consolidating
financial statements presenting the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of
(i) the Parent Company, (ii) the Guarantor Subsidiaries on a combined basis (as such guarantees are
joint and several), (iii) the direct and indirect non-guarantor subsidiaries of the Parent Company
(the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries) on a combined basis and (iv) the eliminations necessary to
arrive at the information for Time Warner Cable Inc. on a consolidated basis.
There are no legal or regulatory restrictions on the Parent Companys ability to obtain funds
from any of its subsidiaries through dividends, loans or advances.
These condensed consolidating financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements of Time Warner Cable Inc.
In presenting the condensed consolidating financial statements, the equity method of
accounting has been applied to (i) the Parent Companys interests in the Guarantor Subsidiaries and
the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries and (ii) the Guarantor Subsidiaries interests in the Non-Guarantor
Subsidiaries, where applicable, even though all such subsidiaries meet the requirements to be
consolidated under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. All intercompany balances and
transactions between the Parent Company, the Guarantor Subsidiaries and the Non-Guarantor
Subsidiaries have been eliminated, as shown in the column Eliminations.
The accounting bases in all subsidiaries, including goodwill and identified intangible assets,
have been allocated to the applicable subsidiaries. Interest income (expense) is determined based
on third-party debt and the relevant intercompany amounts within the respective legal entity.
Time Warner Cable Inc. is not a separate taxable entity for U.S. federal and various state
income tax purposes and its results are included in the consolidated U.S. federal and certain state
income tax returns of Time Warner Inc. In the condensed consolidating financial statements, tax
expense has been presented based on each subsidiarys legal entity basis. Deferred taxes of the
Parent Company, the Guarantor Subsidiaries and the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries have been presented
based upon the temporary differences between the carrying amounts of the respective assets and
liabilities of the applicable entities.
Costs incurred by the Parent Company, the Guarantor Subsidiaries or the Non-Guarantor
Subsidiaries are allocated to the various entities based on the relative usage of such expenses.

Part II. Other Information
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
Reference is made to the class action lawsuit filed by Brantley, et al. described on page 37
of the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 (the 2007 Form
10-K), page 35 of the Companys Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2008
and page 49 of the Companys Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 (the
June 2008 Form 10-Q). On August 4, 2008, the District Court denied the motions filed on July 14, 2008
by the programmer defendants and the distributor defendants requesting the court to certify for
interlocutory appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit its June 25, 2008 order.
Reference is made to the lawsuit filed by Ronald A. Katz Technology Licensing, L.P. described
on page 38 of the 2007 Form 10-K and page 49 of the June 2008
Form 10-Q. In April 2008, TWC and other
defendants filed common motions for summary judgment, which argued, among other things, that a
number of claims in the patents at issue are invalid under Sections 112 and 103 of the Patent Act.
On June 19 and August 4, 2008, the court issued orders granting, in part, and denying, in part,
those motions. Defendants filed additional individual motions for summary judgment in August
2008, which argued, among other things, that defendants respective products do not infringe the
surviving claims in plaintiffs patents. Those motions have been fully briefed.
Reference is made to the lawsuit filed by Hybrid Patents Inc. described on page 38 of the 2007
Form 10-K. This matter has been settled on terms that are not material to the Company.
Item 1A.
Risk Factors.
There
have been no material changes in the Companys risk factors from
those disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of the 2007
Form 10-K and Part II, Item 1A of the June 2008
Form 10-Q.
Item 5. Other Information.
TWCs business is subject to extensive governmental regulation and, as the Company disclosed
in its 2007 Form 10-K, it expects that legislative enactments, court actions, and regulatory
proceedings will continue to clarify and in some cases change the rights of cable companies and
other entities providing video, data and voice services under the Communications Act of 1934, as
amended (the Communications Act) and other laws, possibly in ways that TWC has not foreseen.
For example, on October 15, 2008, the Federal Communications Commissions (the FCC)
Enforcement Bureau issued two Notices of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture and Orders (NALs)
finding as a preliminary matter that the Companys use of switched digital video (SDV) technology
in one of its divisions to deliver programming services that at one time had been accessible to
subscribers via unidirectional products, such as televisions equipped with a CableCARD, violates
FCC rules. The FCCs Enforcement Bureau proposed monetary forfeitures and directed the Company to
make certain payments to subscribers with such unidirectional devices. SDV technology allows TWC to
save bandwidth by transmitting particular programming services only to groups of homes or nodes
where subscribers are viewing the programming at a particular time rather than broadcasting it to
all subscriber homes. This switched programming is available only to subscribers using two-way
tuning devices, which can receive the incoming signal and, when necessary, send a message that the
subscriber has selected a switched service that is not then being watched by anyone else in the
area. The NALs do not constitute final agency action on the substantive legal issues at stake.
The Company believes that the NALs are contrary to the Communications Act and the FCCs rules and
policies and intends to respond accordingly, if necessary by seeking further review by the full FCC
and in court. If TWC is prohibited by regulation from using SDV technology, TWC may have
difficulty carrying the volume of high-definition television channels and other bandwidth-intensive
traffic carried by competitors and may be forced to make costly upgrades to its systems in order to
remain competitive.
On May 7, 2008, the U.S. Copyright Office (the Copyright Office) published an order stating
its views regarding an aspect of certain provisions of the copyright compulsory license relating to
distant television stations (i.e., generally those television stations outside the area where
they would be subject to mandatory carriage under current or former FCC rules). The Copyright
Office determined that where cable operators carry a distant station in any portion of a cable
system as defined in the Copyright Act of 1976, basic service revenues from all portions of such
system where such station would be distant must be used to compute copyright compulsory license
royalties, even if the station is not actually carried in such areas. Although the Company
believes the Copyright Offices
55
statement is erroneous as a matter of law, because the Copyright Offices reading would
greatly increase copyright payments, it could significantly increase the Companys costs of
carrying distant television stations.
The exhibits listed on the accompanying Exhibit Index are filed or incorporated by reference
as a part of this report and such Exhibit Index is incorporated herein by reference.
