MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
INTRODUCTION
     Management’s discussion and analysis of results of operations and financial condition (“MD&A”) is provided as a supplement to the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes to help provide an understanding of Time Warner Inc.’s (“Time Warner” or the “Company”) financial condition, changes in financial condition and results of operations. MD&A is organized as follows:
    Overview. This section provides a general description of Time Warner’s business segments, as well as recent developments the Company believes are important in understanding the results of operations and financial condition or in understanding anticipated future trends.
 
    Results of operations. This section provides an analysis of the Company’s results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2007. This analysis is presented on both a consolidated and a business segment basis. In addition, a brief description is provided of significant transactions and events that impact the comparability of the results being analyzed.
 
    Financial condition and liquidity. This section provides an analysis of the Company’s financial condition as of March 31, 2007 and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2007.
 
    Caution concerning forward-looking statements. This section provides a description of the use of forward-looking information appearing in this report, including in MD&A and the consolidated financial statements. Such information is based on management’s current expectations about future events, which are inherently susceptible to uncertainty and changes in circumstances. Refer to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 (the “2006 Form 10-K”) for a discussion of the risk factors applicable to the Company.
     As discussed more fully in Note 1 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the 2006 financial information has been recast so that the basis of presentation is consistent with that of the 2007 financial information. Specifically, amounts were recast to reflect the retrospective presentation of certain businesses that were sold or that the Company intends to sell as discontinued operations.
Use of Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization
     The Company utilizes Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization, among other measures, to evaluate the performance of its businesses. Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization is considered an important indicator of the operational strength of the Company’s businesses and it provides an indication of the Company’s ability to service debt and fund capital expenditures. Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization eliminates the uneven effect across all business segments of considerable amounts of noncash depreciation of tangible assets and amortization of certain intangible assets that were recognized in business combinations. A limitation of this measure, however, is that it does not reflect the periodic costs of certain capitalized tangible and intangible assets used in generating revenues in the Company’s businesses. Management evaluates the investments in such tangible and intangible assets through other financial measures, such as capital expenditure budgets, investment spending levels and return on capital.
     Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, the Company’s Operating Income, Net Income and various cash flow measures (e.g., Cash provided by operations) as well as other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). A reconciliation of Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization to Operating Income is presented under “Results of Operations.”

OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION — (Continued)
OVERVIEW
     Time Warner is a leading media and entertainment company, whose major businesses encompass an array of the most respected and successful media brands. Among the Company’s brands are HBO, CNN, AOL, People, Sports Illustrated, Time and Time Warner Cable. The Company produces and distributes films through Warner Bros. and New Line Cinema, including 300, Happy Feet, The Departed and The Nativity Story, as well as television programs, including ER, Two and a Half Men, Cold Case, Without a Trace and The New Adventures of Old Christine. During the three months ended March 31, 2007, the Company generated revenues of $11.184 billion (up 9% from $10.238 billion in 2006), Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization of $3.618 billion (up 38% from $2.618 billion in 2006), Operating Income of $2.540 billion (up 38% from $1.840 billion in 2006), Net Income of $1.203 billion (down 18% from $1.463 billion in 2006) and Cash Provided by Operations of $1.399 billion (down 40% from $2.347 billion in 2006).
Time Warner Businesses
     Time Warner classifies its operations into five reportable segments: AOL, Cable, Filmed Entertainment, Networks and Publishing.
     AOL. AOL LLC (together with its subsidiaries, “AOL”) is a leader in interactive services. In the U.S. and internationally, AOL operates a leading network of web brands, offers free client software and services to users who have their own Internet connection and provides services to advertisers on the Internet. In addition, AOL operates one of the largest Internet access subscription services in the United States. At March 31, 2007, AOL had 12.0 million AOL brand subscribers in the U.S., which does not include registrations for the free AOL service. For the three months ended March 31, 2007, AOL reported total revenues of $1.458 billion (13% of the Company’s overall revenues) and had $1.211 billion in Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization and $1.084 billion in Operating Income, both of which included a pretax gain of approximately $670 million related to the sale of AOL’s German access business.
     Historically, AOL’s primary product offering has been an online subscription service that includes dial-up Internet access, and this product currently generates the majority of AOL’s revenues. AOL continued to experience significant declines in the first quarter of 2007 in the number of its U.S. subscribers and related revenues, due primarily to AOL’s decisions to focus on its advertising business and offer most of its services (other than Internet access) for free, AOL’s proactive reduction of subscriber acquisition and retention efforts, and the industry-wide decline of the premium dial-up ISP business and growth in the broadband Internet access business. The decline in subscribers has had an adverse impact on AOL’s Subscription revenues. However, dial-up network costs have also decreased and are anticipated to continue to decrease as subscribers decline. AOL’s Advertising revenues, in large part, are generated from the traffic to and usage of the AOL service by AOL’s subscribers. Therefore, the decline in subscribers also could have an adverse impact on AOL’s Advertising revenues to the extent that subscribers canceling their subscriptions do not maintain their relationship with and usage of the AOL Network (as defined below).
     AOL has continued to implement the next phase of its strategy (as announced on August 2, 2006) to transition from a business that has relied heavily on Subscription revenues from dial-up subscribers to one that attracts and engages more Internet users and takes advantage of the growth in online advertising. AOL is emphasizing growing its global web services business and managing costs in its access services business. A goal of AOL’s strategy is to maintain and expand relationships with current and former AOL subscribers, whether they continue to purchase the dial-up Internet access subscription service or not. Another component of the strategy is to permit access to most of the AOL services, including use of the AOL client software and AOL e-mail accounts, without charge. Therefore, as long as an individual has a means to connect to the Internet, that person can access and use most of the AOL services for free.
     The components of this strategy primarily include the following:
    providing advertising services domestically and internationally on the AOL Network and on Internet sites of third-party entities (referred to as “Partner Sites”) through display advertising and paid-search advertising;
 
    attracting highly-engaged users to and retaining those users on AOL’s interactive properties, including AIM, AOL.com, MapQuest and Moviefone, as well as attracting and retaining former and current subscribers, by

    offering compelling content, features and tools, including e-mail, instant messaging and the AOL client software, which generally are available to Internet users for free;
 
    implementing a cost-effective distribution strategy for its free and paid products and services by entering into or maintaining relationships with third-party high-speed Internet access providers, such as telephone and cable companies, retailers, computer manufacturers, or other aggregators of Internet activity, and search engine optimization and search engine marketing;
    providing paid services, including a variety of online safety and security products on a subscription basis; and
 
    providing software for mobile devices that will further the distribution of AOL products and services.
     The AOL Network consists of a variety of websites, related applications and services, and the AOL and low-cost ISP services. Specifically, the AOL Network includes AOL.com, AIM, MapQuest, Moviefone, ICQ and Netscape as well as other co-branded websites for which certain criteria have been met, including that the Internet traffic has been assigned to AOL. Advertising services on Partner Sites are provided primarily through AOL’s wholly owned subsidiary, Advertising.com, but also directly by AOL, and paid-search advertising activities on the AOL Network are conducted primarily through AOL’s strategic relationship with Google.
     As discussed in more detail in “Recent Developments,” AOL completed the dispositions of its European access businesses with the closing of the sale of its German access business on February 28, 2007.
     In connection with its revised strategy, AOL undertook certain restructuring and related activities in 2006 and the first quarter of 2007, including involuntary employee terminations, contract terminations, facility closures and asset write-offs. Additional restructuring and related activities of this nature are anticipated during the remainder of 2007.
     Cable. Time Warner’s cable business, Time Warner Cable Inc. and its subsidiaries (“TWC”), is the second-largest cable operator in the U.S. and is an industry leader in developing and launching innovative video, data and voice services. At March 31, 2007, TWC had approximately 13.4 million basic video subscribers in technologically advanced, well-clustered systems located mainly in five geographic areas — New York state, the Carolinas, Ohio, southern California and Texas. As of March 31, 2007, TWC was the largest cable operator in a number of large cities, including New York City and Los Angeles. For the three months ended March 31, 2007, TWC delivered revenues of $3.851 billion (34% of the Company’s overall revenues), $1.307 billion in Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization and $579 million in Operating Income.
     On July 31, 2006, a subsidiary of TWC, Time Warner NY Cable LLC (“TW NY”), and Comcast Corporation (together with its subsidiaries, “Comcast”) completed the acquisition of substantially all of the cable assets of Adelphia Communications Corporation (“Adelphia”) and related transactions. In addition, effective January 1, 2007, TWC began consolidating the results of certain cable systems located in Kansas City, south and west Texas and New Mexico (the “Kansas City Pool”) upon the distribution of the assets of Texas and Kansas City Cable Partners, L.P. (“TKCCP”) to its partners, TWC and Comcast. Prior to January 1, 2007, TWC’s interest in TKCCP was reported as an equity method investment. Refer to “Recent Developments” for further details.
     TWC principally offers three services — video, high-speed data and voice, which have been primarily targeted to residential customers. Video is TWC’s largest service in terms of revenues generated. TWC expects to continue to increase video revenues through the offering of advanced digital video services such as video-on-demand (“VOD”), subscription-video-on-demand (“SVOD”), high definition television (“HDTV”) and set-top boxes equipped with digital video recorders (“DVRs”), as well as through price increases and subscriber growth. TWC’s digital video subscribers provide a broad base of potential customers for additional advanced services. Providing basic video services is a competitive and highly penetrated business, and, as a result, TWC expects slower incremental growth in the number of basic video subscribers compared to the growth in TWC’s advanced service offerings. Video programming costs represent a major component of TWC’s expenses and are expected to continue to increase, reflecting contractual rate increases, subscriber growth and the expansion of service offerings, and it is expected that TWC’s video service margins will decline over the next few years as programming cost increases outpace growth in video revenues.
     High-speed data has been one of TWC’s fastest-growing services over the past several years and is a key driver of its results. As of March 31, 2007, TWC had approximately 7.0 million residential high-speed data subscribers. TWC expects

3

continued strong growth in residential high-speed data subscribers and revenues for the foreseeable future; however, the rate of growth of both subscribers and revenues is expected to slow over time as high-speed data services become increasingly well-penetrated. In addition, as narrowband Internet users continue to migrate to broadband connections, TWC anticipates that an increasing percentage of its new high-speed data customers will elect to purchase its entry-level high-speed data service, which is generally less expensive than TWC’s flagship service. As a result, over time, TWC’s average high-speed data revenue per subscriber may decline reflecting this shift in mix. TWC also offers commercial high-speed data services and had approximately 254,000 commercial high-speed data subscribers as of March 31, 2007.
     Approximately 2.1 million subscribers received Digital Phone service, TWC’s residential voice service, as of March 31, 2007. For a monthly fixed fee, Digital Phone customers typically receive the following services: an unlimited local, in-state and U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico calling plan, as well as call waiting, caller ID and E911 services. TWC also is currently deploying a lower-priced unlimited in-state-only calling plan to serve those customers that do not use an interstate calling plan extensively and is planning to offer additional plans with a variety of local and long-distance options. Digital Phone enables TWC to offer its customers a convenient package, or “bundle,” of video, high-speed data and voice services, and to compete effectively against bundled services available from its competitors. TWC expects strong increases in Digital Phone subscribers and revenues for the foreseeable future. TWC has begun to introduce a commercial voice service to small- to medium-sized businesses and will continue to deploy this service during the remainder of 2007 in most of the systems TWC owned before and retained after the transactions with Adelphia and Comcast (the “Legacy Systems”). TWC also expects to deploy this service in some of the systems it acquired in and retained after the transactions with Adelphia and Comcast (the “Acquired Systems”) during the remainder of 2007.
     Some of TWC’s principal competitors, in particular, direct broadcast satellite operators and incumbent local telephone companies, either offer or are making significant capital investments that will allow them to offer services that provide features and functions comparable to the video, data and/or voice services that TWC offers and they are aggressively seeking to offer them in bundles similar to TWC’s. TWC expects that the availability of these service offerings will intensify competition.
     In addition to the subscription services described above, TWC also earns revenues by selling advertising time to national, regional and local businesses.
     As of July 31, 2006, the date the transactions with Adelphia and Comcast closed, the penetration rates for basic video, digital video and high-speed data services were generally lower in the Acquired Systems than in the Legacy Systems. Furthermore, certain advanced services were not available in some of the Acquired Systems, and an IP-based telephony service was not available in any of the Acquired Systems. To increase the penetration of these services in the Acquired Systems, TWC is in the midst of a significant integration effort that includes upgrading the capacity and technical performance of these systems to levels that will allow the delivery of these advanced services and features. Such integration-related efforts are expected to be largely complete by the end of 2007. As of March 31, 2007, Digital Phone was available to over 15% of the homes passed in the Acquired Systems. TWC expects to continue to roll out Digital Phone service across the Acquired Systems during the remainder of 2007.
     Improvement in the financial and operating performance of the Acquired Systems depends in part on the completion of these initiatives and the subsequent availability of the Company’s bundled advanced services in the Acquired Systems. In addition, due to various operational and competitive challenges, the Company expects that the acquired systems located in Los Angeles, CA and Dallas, TX will likely require more time and resources than the other acquired systems to stabilize and then meaningfully improve their financial and operating performance. As of March 31, 2007, the Los Angeles and Dallas acquired systems together served approximately 2.0 million basic video subscribers (about 50% of the basic video subscribers served by the Acquired Systems). TWC believes that by upgrading the plant and integrating the Acquired Systems into its operations, there is a significant opportunity over time to increase service penetration rates, and improve Subscription revenues and Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization in the Acquired Systems.
     Filmed Entertainment. Time Warner’s Filmed Entertainment businesses, Warner Bros. Entertainment Group (“Warner Bros.”) and New Line Cinema Corporation (“New Line”), generated revenues of $2.743 billion (24% of the Company’s overall revenues), $332 million in Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization and $243 million in Operating Income for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The Filmed Entertainment segment experienced a decline in revenues

and operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2007 due to difficult comparisons to the three months ended March 31, 2006.
     One of the world’s leading studios, Warner Bros. has diversified sources of revenues with its film and television businesses, including an extensive film library and global distribution infrastructure. This diversification has helped Warner Bros. deliver consistent long-term performance. New Line is the world’s oldest independent film company. Its primary source of revenues is the creation and distribution of theatrical motion pictures.
     Warner Bros. continues to develop its industry-leading television business, including the successful releases of television series on home video. Throughout the 2006-2007 television season, Warner Bros. produced prime-time series for all five broadcast networks (including Two and a Half Men, ER, Without a Trace, Cold Case, Smallville, Men In Trees and The New Adventures of Old Christine), as well as original series for cable networks (including Nip/Tuck and The Closer).
     The sale of DVDs has been one of the largest drivers of the segment’s profit over the last several years, and Warner Bros.’ extensive library of theatrical and television titles positions it to continue to benefit from sales of home video product to consumers. However, the industry and the Company have experienced a leveling of DVD sales due to several factors, including increasing competition for consumer discretionary spending, piracy, the maturation of the standard definition DVD format and the fragmentation of consumer time.
     Piracy, including physical piracy as well as illegal online file-sharing, continues to be a significant issue for the filmed entertainment industry. Due to technological advances, piracy has expanded from music to movies and television programming. The Company has taken a variety of actions to combat piracy over the last several years, including the launch of new services for consumers at competitive price points, aggressive online and customs enforcement, compressed release windows and educational campaigns, and will continue to do so, both individually and together with cross-industry groups, trade associations and strategic partners.
     Networks. Time Warner’s Networks segment comprises Turner Broadcasting System, Inc. (“Turner”) and Home Box Office, Inc. (“HBO”). On September 17, 2006, Warner Bros. and CBS Corp. (“CBS”) ceased the stand-alone operations of The WB Network and UPN, respectively, and formed The CW, an equity method investee of the Company. The Networks segment results included the operations of The WB Network through the date of its shutdown on September 17, 2006. For the three months ended March 31, 2007, the Networks segment delivered revenues of $2.410 billion (20% of the Company’s overall revenues), $937 million in Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization and $860 million in Operating Income.
     The Turner networks — including such recognized brands as TNT, TBS, CNN, Cartoon Network and CNN Headline News — are among the leaders in advertising-supported cable TV networks. For five consecutive years, more prime-time viewers have watched advertising-supported cable TV networks than the national broadcast networks. For the three months ended March 31, 2007, TNT ranked first among advertising-supported cable networks in total-day delivery of its key demographics, Adults 18-49 and Adults 25-54 and in prime-time delivery ranked third and second, respectively, for Adults 18-49 and Adults 25-54. TBS ranked second among advertising-supported cable networks in prime-time delivery of its key demographic, Adults 18-34.
     The Turner networks generate revenues principally from the sale of advertising time and monthly subscriber fees paid by cable system operators, direct-to-home satellite operators and other affiliates. Key contributors to Turner’s success are its continued investments in high-quality programming focused on sports, network movie premieres, licensed and original series, news and animation, leading to strong ratings and Advertising and Subscription revenue growth, as well as strong brands and operating efficiency.
     HBO operates the HBO and Cinemax multichannel pay television programming services, with the HBO service ranking as the nation’s most widely distributed pay television network. HBO generates revenues principally from monthly subscriber fees from cable system operators, direct-to-home satellite operators and other affiliates. An additional source of revenue is the ancillary sales of its original programming, including The Sopranos, Sex and the City, Rome and Entourage.

OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION — (Continued)
     Publishing. Time Warner’s Publishing segment consists principally of magazine publishing and a number of direct-marketing and direct-selling businesses. The segment generated revenues of $1.048 billion (9% of the Company’s overall revenues), $84 million in Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization and $38 million in Operating Income for the three months ended March 31, 2007.
     As of March 31, 2007, Time Inc. published over 130 magazines globally, including People, Sports Illustrated, In Style, Southern Living, Real Simple, Entertainment Weekly, Time, Cooking Light, Fortune and What’s on TV. It generates revenues primarily from advertising, magazine subscriptions and newsstand sales, and its growth is derived from higher circulation and advertising on existing magazines, new magazine launches, acquisitions and advertising from online properties. Time Inc. owns IPC Media, the U.K.’s largest magazine company (“IPC”), and the magazine subscription marketer Synapse Group, Inc. The Company’s Publishing segment has experienced sluggish print advertising sales as advertisers are shifting advertising expenditures to online media. As a result, Time Inc. continues to invest in developing digital content, including the redesign of Time.com, EW.com and Golf.com, increased functionality for CNNMoney.com and the expansion of Sports Illustrated’s digital properties. Time Inc.’s direct-selling division, Southern Living At Home, sells home decor products through independent consultants at parties hosted in people’s homes throughout the U.S.
     On March 3, 2007, the Company sold its Parenting Group and most of the Time4 Media magazine titles, consisting of 18 of Time Inc.’s smaller niche magazines, to a subsidiary of Bonnier AB, a Swedish media company (“Bonnier”). Refer to “Recent Developments” for further discussion.
Recent Developments
Texas/Kansas City Cable Joint Venture
     TKCCP is a 50-50 joint venture between a consolidated subsidiary of TWC (Time Warner Entertainment-Advance/Newhouse Partnership (“TWE-A/N”)) and Comcast. On January 1, 2007, TKCCP distributed its assets to its partners. TWC received the Kansas City Pool, which served approximately 788,000 basic video subscribers as of December 31, 2006, and Comcast received the pool of assets consisting of the Houston cable systems (the “Houston Pool”), which served approximately 795,000 basic video subscribers as of December 31, 2006. TWC began consolidating the results of the Kansas City Pool on January 1, 2007. TWC expects that TKCCP will be formally dissolved in the second quarter of 2007. For accounting purposes, the Company has treated the distribution of TKCCP’s assets as a sale of the Company’s 50% equity interest in the Houston Pool and as an acquisition of Comcast’s 50% equity interest in the Kansas City Pool. As a result of the sale of the Company’s 50% equity interest in the Houston Pool, the Company recorded a pretax gain of approximately $146 million in the first quarter of 2007, which is included as a component of other income, net in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations (Note 2).
Bookspan
     On April 9, 2007, the Company sold its 50% interest in Bookspan, a joint venture that primarily owns and operates book clubs via direct mail and e-commerce, to a subsidiary of Bertelsmann AG (“Bertelsmann”) for a purchase price of $145 million, which will result in a pretax gain of approximately $100 million in the second quarter of 2007 (Note 3).
TradeDoubler
     On March 14, 2007, AOL withdrew its cash tender offer to acquire all outstanding shares of TradeDoubler AB (“TradeDoubler”). The completion of the offer was subject to the condition that at least 90% of TradeDoubler’s outstanding shares be tendered in the offer, and this condition was not met (Note 3).
Parenting and Time4 Media
     On March 3, 2007, the Company sold its Parenting Group and most of the Time4 Media magazine titles, consisting of 18 of Time Inc.’s smaller niche magazines, to a subsidiary of Bonnier for approximately $220 million, which resulted in a pretax gain of approximately $54 million. The results of operations of the Parenting Group and Time4 Media magazine titles that were sold have been reflected as discontinued operations for all periods presented (Note 3).

Sale of AOL’s European Access Businesses
     On February 28, 2007, the Company completed the sale of AOL’s German access business to Telecom Italia S.p.A. for $850 million in cash, resulting in a pretax gain of approximately $670 million. In connection with this sale, the Company entered into a separate agreement to provide ongoing web services, including content, e-mail and other online tools and services to Telecom Italia S.p.A.
     As a result of the historical interdependency of AOL’s European access and audience businesses, the historical cash flows and operations of the access and audience businesses were not clearly distinguishable. Accordingly, AOL’s German access business and its other European access businesses, which were sold in 2006, have not been reflected as discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated financial statements (Note 3).
Transactions with Liberty
     In February 2007, the Company signed a non-binding letter of intent with Liberty Media Corporation (“Liberty”) regarding the exchange of a significant portion of Liberty’s interest in Time Warner for a subsidiary of Time Warner that contains a mix of non-strategic assets, including the Atlanta Braves franchise (the “Braves”) and Leisure Arts, Inc. (“Leisure Arts”), and cash. Any sale of a major league baseball team requires the prior approval of Major League Baseball (the “League”). Therefore, the Company and Liberty have submitted to the League documents related to the proposed transfer of the Braves and requested the League’s approval of the transfer. There can be no assurance that the League will approve the proposed transfer or that the parties will reach a definitive agreement regarding the proposed transaction. In the first quarter of 2007, the Company recorded an impairment of approximately $13 million on the Company’s investment in Leisure Arts. As a result of the Company’s intent to dispose of the Braves and Leisure Arts, the results of operations of both businesses have been reflected as discontinued operations for all periods presented (Note 3).
Claxson
     On December 14, 2006, Turner announced an agreement with Claxson Interactive Group, Inc. (“Claxson”) to purchase seven pay television networks currently operating in Latin America for approximately $235 million (net of cash acquired). The transaction, which is subject to customary closing conditions, is expected to close in the second or third quarter of 2007 (Note 3).
Divestiture of Certain Non-Core AOL Wireless Businesses
     The Company is in discussions with prospective buyers regarding the divestiture of certain non-core AOL wireless businesses. In the first quarter of 2007, the Company recorded an impairment of approximately $18 million on the long-lived assets associated with one of the non-core AOL wireless businesses. As a result of the Company’s intent to dispose of these businesses, the results of operations of these businesses have been reflected as discontinued operations for all periods presented (Note 3).
Transactions with Adelphia and Comcast
     On July 31, 2006, TW NY and Comcast completed their respective acquisitions of assets comprising in the aggregate substantially all of the cable assets of Adelphia (the “Adelphia Acquisition”). Additionally, on July 31, 2006, immediately before the closing of the Adelphia Acquisition, Comcast’s interests in TWC and Time Warner Entertainment Company, L.P. (“TWE”), a subsidiary of TWC, were redeemed (the “Redemptions”). Following the Redemptions and the Adelphia Acquisition, on July 31, 2006, TW NY and Comcast swapped certain cable systems, most of which were acquired from Adelphia, in order to enhance TWC’s and Comcast’s respective geographic clusters of subscribers (the “Exchange” and, together with the Adelphia Acquisition and the Redemptions, the “Adelphia/Comcast Transactions”). The results of the systems acquired in connection with the Adelphia/Comcast Transactions have been included in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations since the closing of the transactions on July 31, 2006. As a result of the closing of the Adelphia/Comcast Transactions, TWC acquired systems with approximately 4.0 million basic video subscribers and disposed of the systems previously owned by TWC and transferred to Comcast in connection with the Redemptions and the

Exchange with approximately 0.8 million basic video subscribers for a net gain of approximately 3.2 million basic video subscribers.
     On February 13, 2007, Adelphia’s Chapter 11 reorganization plan became effective and, under applicable securities law regulations and provisions of the U.S. bankruptcy code, TWC became a public company subject to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Under the terms of the reorganization plan, most of the shares of TWC Class A Common Stock that Adelphia received in the Adelphia Acquisition (representing approximately 16% of TWC’s outstanding common stock) are being distributed to Adelphia’s creditors. On March 1, 2007, TWC’s Class A common stock began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “TWC” (Note 2).
Common Stock Repurchase Program
     Time Warner’s Board of Directors has authorized a common stock repurchase program that allows the Company to purchase up to an aggregate of $20 billion of common stock during the period from July 29, 2005 through December 31, 2007. Purchases under the stock repurchase program may be made from time to time on the open market and in privately negotiated transactions. Size and timing of these purchases is based on a number of factors, including price and business and market conditions. At existing price levels, the Company intends to continue purchases under its stock repurchase program within its stated objective of maintaining a net debt-to-Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization ratio, as defined, of approximately 3-to-1 and expects it will complete the program by the end of the second quarter of 2007. From the program’s inception through May 1, 2007, the Company repurchased approximately 1.0 billion shares of common stock for approximately $18.4 billion pursuant to trading programs under Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act, including approximately 208 million shares of common stock for approximately $3.6 billion pursuant to prepaid stock repurchase contracts (Note 6).
Amounts Related to Securities Litigation
     At December 31, 2006, the Company had a reserve of approximately $620 million related to its remaining unresolved securities litigation matters. During the first quarter of 2007, the Company reached agreements to pay approximately $764 million to settle substantially all of the remaining claims. The Company recorded an incremental charge of approximately $152 million during the first quarter of 2007 reflecting these 2007 settlements, including approximately $8 million related to an expected attorneys’ fee award related to a previously settled matter. The Company believes the potential exposure in any securities litigation matters that remain pending at March 31, 2007 to be de minimis.
     The Company recognizes insurance recoveries when it becomes probable that such amounts will be received. The Company recognized insurance recoveries of approximately $8 million and $50 million related to Employee Retirement Income Security Act (“ERISA”) matters for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Changes in Basis of Presentation
Discontinued Operations
     As discussed more fully in Note 1 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the 2006 financial information has been recast so that the basis of presentation is consistent with that of the 2007 financial information. Specifically, the Company has reflected certain magazines sold, including the Parenting Group, most of the Time4 Media magazine titles and The Progressive Farmer magazine, and certain businesses it intends to sell, including Leisure Arts, the Braves and certain non-core AOL wireless businesses as discontinued operations. Accordingly, the financial condition and results of operations of these businesses have been reflected as discontinued operations for all periods presented.
Consolidation of Kansas City Pool
     On January 1, 2007, the Company began consolidating the results of the Kansas City Pool upon the distribution of the assets of TKCCP to its partners.
Recent Accounting Standards
Accounting for Sabbatical Leave and Other Similar Benefits
     On January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 06-02, Accounting for Sabbatical Leave and Other Similar Benefits (“EITF 06-02”), related to certain sabbatical leave and other employment arrangements that are similar to a sabbatical leave. EITF 06-02 provides that an employee’s right to a compensated absence under a sabbatical leave or similar benefit arrangement in which the employee is not required to perform any duties during the absence is an accumulating benefit. Therefore, such arrangements should be accounted for as a liability with the cost recognized over the service period during which the employee earns the benefit. Adoption of this guidance resulted in an increase to accumulated deficit of approximately $97 million (approximately $59 million, net of tax) on January 1, 2007. The resulting change in the accrual for the three months ended March 31, 2007 was not material.
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes
     On January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (“FIN 48”), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income tax positions. This interpretation requires the Company to recognize in the consolidated financial statements only those tax positions determined to be more likely than not of being sustained upon examination, based on the technical merits of the positions. Upon adoption, the Company recognized approximately $445 million of tax benefits for positions that were previously unrecognized, of which approximately $433 million was accounted for as a reduction to the accumulated deficit balance and approximately $12 million was accounted for as an increase to the paid-in-capital balance as of January 1, 2007. Additionally, the adoption of FIN 48 resulted in the recognition of additional tax reserves for positions where there is uncertainty about the timing or character of such deductibility. These additional reserves were largely offset by increased deferred tax assets (Note 1).
Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements
     The EITF has reached consensuses on EITF Issue No. 06-10, Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Collateral Assignment Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements (“EITF 06-10”), and EITF Issue No. 06-04, Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefits Aspects of Endorsement Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements (“EITF 06-04”), which require that a company recognize a liability for the postretirement benefits associated with endorsement and collateral assignment split-dollar life insurance arrangements. The provisions of EITF 06-10 and EITF 06-04 will be effective for Time Warner as of January 1, 2008 and will impact the Company in instances where the Company has contractually agreed to maintain a life insurance policy (i.e., the Company pays the premiums) for an

employee in periods in which the employee is no longer providing services. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Significant Transactions and Other Items Affecting Comparability
     As more fully described herein and in the related notes to the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the comparability of Time Warner’s results from continuing operations has been affected by certain significant transactions and other items in each period as follows (millions):

     In addition to the items affecting comparability above, the Company incurred approximately $68 million and $30 million of merger-related, restructuring and shutdown costs during the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
     The Company incurred restructuring costs for the three months ended March 31, 2007 of approximately $64 million, primarily related to various employee terminations and other exit activities, including $23 million at the AOL segment, $6 million at the Cable segment and $35 million at the Publishing segment. In addition, the Cable segment also expensed approximately $4 million of non-capitalizable merger-related and restructuring costs associated with the Adelphia/Comcast Transactions.
     The Company incurred restructuring costs for the three months ended March 31, 2006 of approximately $23 million, primarily related to various employee terminations, including $12 million at the Publishing segment, $6 million at the Cable segment and $5 million at the Corporate segment. The Company also expensed $2 million at the Filmed Entertainment segment and $1 million at the AOL segment as a result of changes in estimates of previously established restructuring accruals. In addition, during the three months ended March 31, 2006, the Cable segment expensed approximately $4 million of non-capitalizable merger-related costs associated with the Adelphia/Comcast Transactions.
Amounts Related to Securities Litigation
     The Company recognized legal reserves as well as legal and other professional fees related to the defense of various shareholder lawsuits, totaling $171 million and $79 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. In addition, the Company recognized related insurance recoveries of $8 million and $50 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Asset Impairments
     During the three months ended March 31, 2007, the Company incurred a $1 million noncash asset impairment charge related to asset write-offs in connection with facility closures primarily as a result of AOL’s revised strategy.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION — (Continued)
Gains on Disposal of Assets, Net
     For the three months ended March 31, 2007, the Company recorded a gain of approximately $670 million on the sale of AOL’s German access business.
     For the three months ended March 31, 2006, the Company recorded a gain of approximately $20 million at the Corporate segment related to the sale of two aircraft and a $2 million gain at the AOL segment from the resolution of a previously contingent gain related to the 2004 sale of Netscape Security Solutions (“NSS”).
Investment Gains, Net
     For the three months ended March 31, 2007, the Company recognized net gains of $163 million primarily related to the sale of investments, including a $146 million gain on TWC’s deemed sale of the Company’s 50% interest in the Houston Pool in connection with the distribution of TKCCP’s assets at the Cable segment. For the three months ended March 31, 2007, investment gains, net also include $6 million of gains resulting from market fluctuations in equity derivative instruments.
     For the three months ended March 31, 2006, the Company recognized net gains of $295 million primarily related to the sale of investments, including a $239 million gain on the sale of a portion of the Company’s investment in Time Warner Telecom Inc. (“TWT”) and a $51 million gain on the sale of the Company’s investment in Canal Satellite Digital. Investment gains, net also include $7 million of gains resulting from market fluctuations in equity derivative instruments.
Minority Interest Impact
     For the three months ended March 31, 2007, income of $57 million was attributed to minority interests, which primarily reflects the respective minority owner’s share of the gains on TWC’s deemed sale of the Houston Pool interest and on the sale of AOL’s German access business.
Income Tax Impact and Other Tax Items Affecting Comparability
     The income tax impact reflects the estimated tax or tax benefit associated with each item affecting comparability. Such estimated taxes or tax benefits vary based on certain factors, including deductibility of the amounts and foreign tax on certain gains. The Company’s tax provision may also include certain items affecting comparability. For the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 these items included approximately $3 million and $93 million, respectively, of tax benefits related primarily to the realization of tax attribute carryforwards.
Three Months Ended March 31, 2007 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2006
Consolidated Results
     Revenues. The components of revenues are as follows (millions):
                         
    Three Months Ended  
    3/31/07     3/31/06     % Change  
            (recast)

Total revenues
  $ 11,184     $ 10,238       9%
 
                   
     The increase in Subscription revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2007 was primarily related to increases at the Cable and Networks segments, offset partially by a decline at the AOL segment. The increase at the Cable segment was driven by the impact of the Acquired Systems, the consolidation of the Kansas City Pool, the continued penetration of digital video services and Digital Phone, video price increases and growth in both basic video and high-speed data

subscriber levels in the Legacy Systems. The increase at the Networks segment was due primarily to higher subscription rates and, to a lesser extent, an increase in the number of subscribers at both Turner and HBO. Revenues at the AOL segment declined primarily as a result of the sales of AOL’s European access businesses in the fourth quarter of 2006 and first quarter of 2007, as well as decreases in the number of AOL brand domestic subscribers and related revenues.
     The increase in Advertising revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2007 was primarily due to growth at the AOL and Cable segments, offset partially by a decline at the Networks segment. The increase at the AOL segment was due to growth in Advertising revenues on both the AOL Network and on Partner Sites. The increase at the Cable segment was primarily attributable to the Acquired Systems and the consolidation of the Kansas City Pool. The decline at the Networks segment was primarily driven by the impact of the shutdown of The WB Network on September 17, 2006, partially offset by higher Advertising revenue across Turner’s primary networks.
     Each of the revenue categories is discussed in greater detail by segment in “Business Segment Results.”
     Costs of Revenues. For the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, costs of revenues totaled $6.496 billion and $5.677 billion, respectively, and as a percentage of revenues were 58% and 55%, respectively. The increase in costs of revenues as a percentage of revenues related primarily to increases at the Cable segment, primarily related to the Acquired Systems and the consolidation of the Kansas City Pool, and at the Filmed Entertainment segment, primarily reflecting the change in the quantity and mix of products released, partially offset by a decline at the AOL segment, primarily reflecting a shift to Advertising revenues, which have higher margins. The segment variations are discussed in detail in “Business Segment Results.”
     Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. For the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 6% to $2.409 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2007 from $2.555 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2006. The decrease related primarily to a significant decline at the AOL segment, primarily due to reduced subscriber acquisition marketing as part of AOL’s revised strategy, partially offset by an increase at the Cable segment related to the Acquired Systems and the consolidation of the Kansas City Pool. The segment variations are discussed in detail in “Business Segment Results.”
     Amounts Related to Securities Litigation. As previously discussed in “Recent Developments,” the Company recognized legal reserves as well as legal and other professional fees related to the defense of various shareholder lawsuits, totaling $171 million and $79 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. In addition, the Company recognized related insurance recoveries of $8 million and $50 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

     Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization. Time Warner’s Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization increased 38% to $3.618 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2007 from $2.618 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2006. Excluding the items previously discussed under “Significant Transactions and Other Items Affecting Comparability” totaling $506 million of income, net and $7 million of expense, net for 2007 and 2006, respectively, Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization increased $487 million, principally as a result of growth at the AOL, Cable and Networks segments, partially offset by a decline at the Filmed Entertainment and Publishing segments. The segment variations are discussed in detail under “Business Segment Results.”
     Depreciation Expense. Depreciation expense increased to $901 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 from $649 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006. The increase in depreciation expense primarily related to an increase at the Cable segment reflecting the impact of the Acquired Systems, the consolidation of the Kansas City Pool and demand-driven increases in recent years of purchases of customer premise equipment, which generally has a significantly shorter useful life compared to the mix of assets previously purchased.
     Amortization Expense. Amortization expense increased to $177 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 from $129 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006. The increase in amortization expense primarily related to the Cable segment driven by the amortization of intangible assets associated with customer relationships acquired as part of the Acquired Systems.
     Operating Income. Time Warner’s Operating Income increased to $2.540 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2007 from $1.840 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2006. Excluding the items previously discussed under “Significant Transactions and Other Items Affecting Comparability” totaling $506 million of income, net and $7 million of expense, net for 2007 and 2006, respectively, Operating Income increased $187 million, reflecting the changes in Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization, offset partially by the increases in both depreciation and amortization expense as discussed above.
     Interest Expense, Net. Interest expense, net, increased to $551 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 from $299 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006, reflecting higher average outstanding balances of borrowings as a result of the Company’s stock repurchase program and the Adelphia/Comcast Transactions, increased interest rates on borrowings and lower interest income related primarily to a lower level of short-term investments.

     Other Income, Net. Other income, net, detail is shown in the table below (millions):

Other income, net
  $ 125     $ 311  
 
           
     The changes in investment gains, net are discussed under “Significant Transactions and Other Items Affecting Comparability.” Excluding the impact of investment gains, Other income, net, decreased primarily due to lower income from equity method investees and higher foreign exchange losses. The decrease in equity income primarily reflects the absence of equity income as a result of TKCCP no longer being treated as an equity method investee following the TKCCP asset distribution, as well as losses recognized on The CW investment.
     Minority Interest Expense, Net. Time Warner had $130 million of minority interest expense, net for the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to $71 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006. The increase related primarily to the 5% minority interest in AOL issued to Google in the second quarter of 2006, which included Google’s 5% share of the gain recognized by AOL on the sale of its German access business, and to larger profits recorded by the Cable segment, including the gain on the deemed sale of the Houston Pool in connection with the TKCCP asset distribution. Comcast held an effective 21% minority interest in TWC until the closing of the Adelphia/Comcast Transactions on July 31, 2006, upon which Comcast’s interest in TWC was redeemed and Adelphia received an approximate 16% minority interest in TWC. Adelphia is in the process of distributing this interest to its creditors.
     Income Tax Provision. Income tax expense from continuing operations was $797 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007, compared to $598 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006. The Company’s effective tax rate for continuing operations was 40% for the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to 34% for the three months ended March 31, 2006. The increase reflects the impact of nondeductible goodwill associated with the sale of AOL’s German access business in 2007 and the lower realization of tax attribute carryforwards relative to 2006.
     Income before Discontinued Operations and Cumulative Effect of Accounting Change. Income before discontinued operations and cumulative effect of accounting change was $1.187 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to $1.183 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2006. Basic and diluted net income per share before discontinued operations and cumulative effect of accounting change were $0.31 and $0.30, respectively, in 2007 compared to $0.26 for both in 2006. Excluding the items previously discussed under “Significant Transactions and Other Items Affecting Comparability” totaling $325 million and $276 million of income, net for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, income before discontinued operations and cumulative effect of accounting change declined by $45 million primarily due to higher interest expense, net and higher minority interest expense, net, partially offset by higher Operating Income as discussed above.
     Discontinued Operations. Discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 include certain magazines sold, including the Parenting Group, most of the Time4 Media magazine titles and The Progressive Farmer magazine, and certain businesses the Company intends to sell, including Leisure Arts, the Braves, and certain non-core AOL wireless businesses. Also included in discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2006 are the operations of the systems transferred to Comcast in connection with the Redemptions and the Exchange, the Turner South network and Time Warner Book Group (“TWBG”).
     Included in the results for the three months ended March 31, 2007 was a pretax gain of approximately $54 million and a related tax benefit of approximately $2 million on the sale of the Parenting Group and most of the Time4 Media magazine titles, an impairment of approximately $18 million on AOL’s long-lived assets associated with one of the non-core wireless businesses and an impairment of approximately $13 million on the Company’s investment in Leisure Arts. The tax benefit on the pretax gain resulted primarily from the recognition of deferred tax assets associated with the sale of the magazine titles. Included in the results for the three months ended March 31, 2006 was a pretax gain of approximately $207 million and a related tax benefit of approximately $24 million on the sale of TWBG. The tax benefit on the sale of TWBG resulted

primarily from the release of a valuation allowance associated with tax attribute carryforwards offsetting the gain on the transaction.
     Cumulative Effect of Accounting Change, Net of Tax. For the three months ended March 31, 2006, the Company recorded a benefit of $25 million, net of tax, as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle upon the adoption of FAS 123R in 2006, to recognize the effect of estimating the number of awards granted prior to January 1, 2006 that are not ultimately expected to vest.
     Net Income and Net Income Per Common Share. Net income was $1.203 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to $1.463 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2006. Basic and diluted net income per common share were both $0.31 in 2007 compared to $0.33 and $0.32, respectively, in 2006. Net income per common share for both 2007 and 2006 reflect the favorable impact of the shares repurchased under the $20 billion share repurchase program.

     On August 2, 2006, AOL announced that it was implementing the next phase of its business strategy, which is designed to accelerate AOL’s transition to a global web services company. A significant component of this strategy is to permit the use of most of AOL’s services, including use of the AOL client software and AOL e-mail accounts, without charge. Therefore, as long as an individual has a means to connect to the Internet, that person can access and use most of the AOL services for free.
     AOL continues to serve customers with dial-up Internet access by providing dial-up connectivity to the Internet and customer service for subscribers. AOL also continues to develop and offer price plans with varying service levels. In the third quarter of 2006, AOL implemented new $25.90 and $9.95 price plans in the U.S. with varying levels of dial-up access service, storage and other tools and services. However, AOL has substantially reduced its marketing and customer service efforts previously aimed at attracting and retaining subscribers to the dial-up AOL service.
     In connection with AOL’s revised strategy and as a result of the sales of AOL’s European access businesses in the fourth quarter of 2006 and the first quarter of 2007, the Company has reevaluated its historical disclosures related to the AOL brand domestic and European subscribers. Beginning in the first quarter of 2007 and going forward, the Company will no longer provide subscriber and average revenue per subscriber (“ARPU”) information for AOL brand domestic

subscribers in the “$15 and over” and “under $15” price plan categories as the Company believes this information is no longer meaningful. Similarly, the AOL Europe subscriber and ARPU discussions have also been discontinued.
     The decline in Subscription revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2006 was due to the sales of AOL’s European access businesses (approximately $300 million) in the fourth quarter of 2006 and first quarter of 2007, as well as decreases in the number of AOL brand domestic subscribers and related revenues.
     The number of AOL brand domestic subscribers was 12.0 million, 13.2 million, and 18.6 million as of March 31, 2007, December 31, 2006, and March 31, 2006, respectively. The AOL brand domestic ARPU was $18.97 and $18.43 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. AOL includes in its subscriber numbers individuals, households and entities that have provided billing information and completed the registration process sufficiently to allow for an initial log-on to the AOL service. Subscribers to the AOL brand service include subscribers participating in introductory free-trial periods and subscribers that are paying no or reduced monthly fees through member service and retention programs. Total AOL brand subscribers include free-trial and retention members of approximately 4% at March 31, 2007, 6% at December 31, 2006, and 11% at March 31, 2006. Individuals who have registered for the free AOL service, including subscribers who have migrated from paid subscription plans, are not included in the AOL brand subscriber numbers presented above. As previously discussed, due to the sales of AOL’s access businesses in the U.K., Germany and France, AOL no longer has AOL brand Internet access subscribers in Europe, although the purchasers of AOL’s European access businesses have certain rights to use specific AOL brands.
     The decreases in subscribers are the result of a number of factors, including the effects of AOL’s revised strategy, which has resulted in the migration of subscribers to the free AOL service offering, declining registrations for the paid service in response to AOL’s reduced marketing and retention campaigns, and competition from broadband access providers. The increase in ARPU for the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to the similar period in the prior year was due primarily to a price increase implemented late in the first quarter of 2006 and an increase in the percentage of revenue generating customers, partially offset by a shift in the subscriber mix to lower-priced subscriber price plans.
     In addition to the AOL brand service, AOL has subscribers to other services, both domestically and internationally, including the Netscape and CompuServe brands. These other brand services are not a significant source of revenues.
     Advertising services include display advertising and paid-search advertising, both domestically and internationally, which are provided on both the AOL Network and on Partner Sites. Total Advertising revenues improved for the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2006 due to increased Advertising revenues generated on both the AOL Network and on Partner Sites. Specifically, Advertising revenues on the AOL Network increased $90 million to $399 million, while Advertising revenues on Partner Sites increased $67 million to $150 million. Total Advertising revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2007 declined sequentially by approximately $17 million from the three months ended December 31, 2006 primarily reflecting the impact of higher seasonal advertising in the fourth quarter of 2006.
     The increase in Advertising revenues generated on the AOL Network for the three months ended March 31, 2007 reflects increases in both display and paid-search Advertising revenues. Display Advertising revenues increased $56 million to $232 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2006, primarily attributable to increased inventory sold as well as operational improvements. In addition, display Advertising revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2007 included a benefit of approximately $19 million related to a change in an accounting estimate resulting from more timely system data. Paid-search Advertising revenues, which are generated primarily through AOL’s strategic relationship with Google, increased $34 million to $167 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2006. This increase is primarily attributable to both higher revenues per search query and increases in search query volume on certain AOL Network properties.
     Advertising revenues on Partner Sites are generated primarily through AOL’s wholly owned subsidiary, Advertising.com. The increase in such revenues is primarily attributable to the expansion of a relationship with a major customer in the second quarter of 2006, which increased $46 million to $56 million for the three months ended March 31,

2007, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2006, as well as to continued growth in revenues from other advertisers.
     AOL expects Advertising revenues to continue to increase during the remainder of 2007 as compared to the similar period in 2006 due to expected increases in display and paid-search advertising on the AOL Network and expected increases in sales of advertising run on Partner Sites, although revenues generated on Partner Sites are expected to increase at a rate less than that experienced in the first quarter of 2007, as the expansion of the relationship with a major customer occurred in the second quarter of 2006.
     Costs of revenues decreased 34% and as a percentage of revenues were 43% for the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to 48% for the three months ended March 31, 2006. Approximately $200 million of the decrease in costs of revenues was attributable to the sales of AOL’s European access businesses. The remaining decrease was attributable to lower network-related expenses and lower customer service expenses associated with the closure of customer support call centers, partially offset by an increase in traffic acquisition costs associated with advertising run on Partner Sites. Network-related expenses decreased 69% to $98 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 from $318 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006, of which approximately $150 million of the decrease was attributable to the sales of AOL’s European access businesses. The remaining decline in network-related expenses was principally attributable to lower usage of AOL’s dial-up network associated with the declining AOL brand domestic dial-up subscriber base, improved pricing and network utilization and decreased levels of long-term fixed commitments.
     Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 54% for the three months ended March 31, 2007, of which approximately $80 million of the decrease was attributable to the sales of AOL’s European access businesses. The remaining decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses reflects a decrease in direct marketing costs of approximately $210 million, primarily due to reduced subscriber acquisition marketing as part of AOL’s revised strategy, and other cost savings initiatives, partially offset by higher employee incentive compensation, including higher current year accruals. The three months ended March 31, 2006 also included an $18 million benefit due to the reversal of previously established accruals that were no longer required and an approximate $14 million benefit related to the favorable resolution of certain tax matters.
     As previously discussed under “Significant Transactions and Other Items Affecting Comparability,” the results for the three months ended March 31, 2007 included a gain of approximately $670 million on the sale of AOL’s German access business, a $32 million restructuring charge primarily related to involuntary employee terminations and facility closures, partially offset by the reversal of $9 million of restructuring charges that were no longer needed due to changes in estimates and a $1 million noncash asset impairment charge related to asset write-offs in connection with facility closures primarily as a result of AOL’s revised strategy. Further restructuring actions associated with the strategy are expected to result in additional restructuring and related charges during the remainder of 2007 of up to $50 million. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2006 include a $2 million gain from the resolution of a previously contingent gain related to the 2004 sale of NSS and a $1 million restructuring charge, primarily related to changes in estimates of previously established restructuring accruals.
     Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization and Operating Income increased due primarily to the gain on the sale of the German access business, higher Advertising revenues and lower costs of revenues and selling, general and administrative expenses, partially offset by lower Subscription revenues and higher restructuring costs. In addition, the increase in Operating Income reflected lower depreciation expense as a result of a decline in network assets due to membership declines.
     In connection with AOL’s strategy, including its proactive reduction of subscriber acquisition efforts, AOL expects to experience a continued decline in its subscribers and related Subscription revenues, and for the remainder of 2007, a decline in subscriber ARPU, as compared to the similar period in 2006. In addition, over the remainder of 2007, AOL expects to continue to reduce costs of revenues, including dial-up network and customer service expenses, and selling, general and administrative expenses.
     The Company expects that AOL’s growth rates for Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization and Operating Income for the remainder of the year compared to the corresponding nine-month period in the prior year,

excluding the gains on the sales of AOL’s European access businesses, will be significantly lower than the levels of growth achieved in the first quarter of 2007 primarily as a result of continued declines in Subscription revenues, including the impact on Subscription revenues of the divestiture of AOL’s European access businesses.
     As discussed in “Recent Developments,” on February 28, 2007, the Company completed the sale of AOL’s German access business to Telecom Italia S.p.A. for $850 million in cash, resulting in a pretax gain of approximately $670 million. In connection with this sale, the Company entered into a separate agreement to provide ongoing web services, including content, e-mail and other online tools and services to Telecom Italia S.p.A.
     As a result of the historical interdependency of AOL’s European access and audience businesses, the historical cash flows and operations of the access and audience businesses were not clearly distinguishable. Accordingly, AOL’s German access business and its other European access businesses, which were sold in 2006, have not been reflected as discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
     As discussed in “Recent Developments,” the Company is in discussions with prospective buyers regarding the divestiture of certain non-core AOL wireless businesses. In the first quarter of 2007, the Company recorded an impairment of approximately $18 million on the long-lived assets associated with one of the non-core AOL wireless businesses. As a result of the Company’s intent to dispose of these businesses, the results of operations of these businesses have been reflected as discontinued operations for all periods presented.
     Cable. As previously disclosed, on July 31, 2006, the Company completed the Adelphia/Comcast Transactions and began consolidating the results of the Acquired Systems. Additionally, on January 1, 2007, the Company began consolidating the results of the Kansas City Pool. Revenues, Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization and Operating Income of the Cable segment for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 are as follows (millions):

(a)   Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2006 consist only of the results of the Legacy Systems.
 
(b)   Voice revenues included revenues primarily associated with Digital Phone, TWC’s residential voice service, as well as revenues associated with subscribers acquired from Comcast who received traditional, circuit-switched telephone service, which were $14 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. TWC continues to provide traditional, circuit-switched services to those subscribers and will continue to do so for some period of time until it is able to discontinue the circuit-switched offering in accordance with regulatory requirements, at which time the only voice services provided by TWC will be Digital Phone and commercial voice. As of March 31, 2007, Digital Phone service was available to over 15% of the homes passed in the Acquired Systems.

Beginning January 1, 2007, subscribers in the Kansas City Pool are included in both managed and consolidated subscriber results as a result of the consolidation of the Kansas City Pool.
 
(b)   Basic video subscriber numbers reflect billable subscribers who receive basic video service.
 
(c)   Digital video subscriber numbers reflect billable subscribers who receive any level of video service via digital technology.
 
(d)   High-speed data subscriber numbers reflect billable subscribers who receive TWC’s Road Runner high-speed data service or any of the other high-speed data services offered by TWC.
 
(e)   Digital Phone subscriber numbers reflect billable subscribers who receive IP-based telephony service. Digital Phone subscribers exclude subscribers acquired from Comcast in the Exchange who receive traditional, circuit-switched telephone service (which totaled approximately 93,000 consolidated subscribers at March 31, 2007).
     Subscription revenues increased, driven by the impact of the Acquired Systems, the consolidation of the Kansas City Pool, the continued penetration of digital video services and Digital Phone, video price increases and growth in both basic video and high-speed data subscriber levels in the Legacy Systems. Aggregate revenues associated with TWC’s digital video services, including digital tiers, pay-per-view, VOD, SVOD and DVRs, increased 70% to $563 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 from $332 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006. Strong growth rates for high-speed data service and voice revenues are expected to continue during the remainder of 2007.
     For the three months ended March 31, 2007, Advertising revenues increased due to an increase in local and national advertising, primarily due to the impact of the Acquired Systems and the consolidation of the Kansas City Pool.

increase in costs of revenues was primarily related to the impact of the Acquired Systems and the consolidation of the Kansas City Pool, as well as increases in video programming, employee, voice and other costs. The increase in costs of revenues as a percentage of revenues reflects lower margins in the Acquired Systems. Video programming costs increased 73% to $880 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007, due primarily to the impact of the Acquired Systems ($257 million) and the consolidation of the Kansas City Pool ($50 million), as well as contractual rate increases, the increase in video subscribers and the expansion of service offerings in the Legacy Systems. Video programming costs for the three months ended March 31, 2006 also included an $11 million benefit reflecting an adjustment in the amortization of certain launch support payments. Employee costs increased primarily due to the impact of the Acquired Systems, the consolidation of the Kansas City Pool, higher headcount resulting from the continued roll-out of advanced services, salary increases and an approximate $16 million benefit (with an additional approximate $5 million benefit included in selling, general and administrative expenses) recorded in the first quarter of 2006 due to changes in estimates related to prior period medical benefit accruals. Voice costs increased approximately $52 million to $112 million primarily due to growth in Digital Phone subscribers and the consolidation of the Kansas City Pool. Other costs increased primarily due to the impact of the Acquired Systems and the consolidation of the Kansas City Pool, as well as revenue-driven increases in fees paid to local franchise authorities and increases in other costs associated with the continued roll-out of advanced services in the Legacy Systems.
     The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses is primarily the result of higher employee, marketing and other costs due to the impact of the Acquired Systems and the consolidation of the Kansas City Pool, increased headcount and higher costs resulting from the continued roll-out of advanced services and salary increases.
     As previously discussed under “Significant Transactions and Other Items Affecting Comparability,” the Cable segment expensed non-capitalizable merger-related and restructuring costs associated with the Adelphia/Comcast Transactions of approximately $4 million for each of the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006. In addition, the results for both the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 included approximately $6 million of other restructuring costs. TWC’s restructuring activities are part of TWC’s broader plans to simplify its organizational structure and enhance its customer focus. TWC is in the process of executing these initiatives and expects to incur additional costs as these plans continue to be implemented throughout 2007.
     Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization increased principally as a result of revenue growth, partially offset by higher costs of revenues and selling, general and administrative expenses, as discussed above.
     Operating Income increased primarily due to the increase in Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization described above, partially offset by an increase in depreciation expense and amortization expense. Depreciation expense increased primarily due to the impact of the Acquired Systems, the consolidation of the Kansas City Pool and demand-driven increases in recent years of purchases of customer premise equipment, which generally has a significantly shorter useful life compared to the mix of assets previously purchased. Amortization expense increased as a result of the amortization of intangible assets associated with customer relationships acquired as part of the Adelphia/Comcast Transactions.
     The Company anticipates that Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization and Operating Income will continue to increase during the remainder of 2007 as compared to the similar period in the prior year, although the full year rates of growth are expected to be lower than those experienced in the first quarter of 2007 as the last five months of 2006 also included the benefit of the Adelphia Acquisition.

     The increase in theatrical film revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2007 was due primarily to the success of certain key releases, including 300 and Music & Lyrics, as well as the carryover revenues from Blood Diamond and Happy Feet, compared to the carryover revenues from Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and the release of V For Vendetta in the first quarter of 2006. The increase in theatrical product revenues from television licensing primarily related to the timing and quantity of availabilities, including a greater number of significant titles in the first quarter of 2007. Home video sales of theatrical product declined primarily due to difficult comparisons to the first quarter of 2006, which included the worldwide release of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and the domestic release of Wedding Crashers compared to the releases of Happy Feet and The Departed in the first quarter of 2007.
     The decline in home video sales of television product reflects difficult comparisons to the prior year, which included higher revenues attributable to Seinfeld and Friends.
     The increase in costs of revenues resulted primarily from higher advertising and print costs resulting from the quantity and mix of films released, as well as higher film costs ($1.143 billion in 2007 compared to $1.132 billion in 2006). These increases were partially offset by lower home video manufacturing and freight costs related to a decline in volume. Included in film costs are pre-release theatrical film valuation adjustments, which decreased to $53 million in 2007 from

$69 million in 2006. Costs of revenues as a percentage of revenues were 73% and 70% in 2007 and 2006, respectively, reflecting the quantity and mix of products released.
     Selling, general and administrative expenses increased primarily due to higher employee costs, partially offset by lower distribution fees.
     As previously discussed in “Significant Transactions and Other Items Affecting Comparability,” the results for the three months ended March 31, 2006 included $2 million of restructuring charges as a result of changes in estimates of previously established restructuring accruals.
     Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization and Operating Income decreased due to a decline in revenues and increases in costs of revenues and selling, general and administrative expenses. The first quarter of 2006 also included a benefit of $42 million from the sale of certain international film rights.
     The Company expects that both Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization and Operating Income at the Filmed Entertainment segment will increase for the remainder of 2007 relative to the corresponding nine-month period in 2006, with the growth occurring in the second half of 2007 due primarily to expectations of improved performance from the current year’s theatrical release slate.
     Networks. Revenues, Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization and Operating Income of the Networks segment for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 are as follows (millions):

     On September 17, 2006, Warner Bros. and CBS ceased the stand-alone operations of The WB Network and UPN, respectively, and formed The CW, an equity method investee of the Company. The Networks segment results included the operations of The WB Network through the date of its shutdown on September 17, 2006. For the three months ended March 31, 2006, the Networks segment operating results included revenues and an Operating Loss of $139 million and $29 million, respectively, from The WB Network.
     The increase in Subscription revenues was due primarily to higher subscription rates and, to a lesser extent, an increase in the number of subscribers at both Turner and HBO.
     The decrease in Advertising revenues was driven primarily by the impact of the shutdown of The WB Network on September 17, 2006, partially offset by higher Advertising revenue across Turner’s primary networks.
     For the three months ended March 31, 2007, costs of revenues decreased 1% primarily due to a decline in programming costs, partially offset by increases in distribution costs and costs related to digital initiatives. Programming costs decreased 5% to $740 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 from $775 million for the three months ended March 31,

2006. The decrease in programming costs was primarily due to the shutdown of The WB Network on September 17, 2006, partially offset by higher acquired theatrical programming costs at HBO and an increase in sports programming costs, particularly related to NBA programming at Turner. Costs of revenues as a percentage of revenues, were 44% and 45% for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
     For the three months ended March 31, 2007, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased primarily due to the shutdown of The WB Network on September 17, 2006 and overall lower expenses at HBO.
     Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization and Operating Income increased primarily due to a decline in costs of revenues and selling, general and administrative expenses, as described above.

     Subscription revenues declined slightly primarily as a result of slower newsstand sales, lower subscription revenues for several domestic titles and the closure of Teen People in September 2006, partially offset by the favorable effects of foreign currency exchange rates at IPC.
     Advertising revenues increased due primarily to growth in online Advertising revenues, reflecting contributions from People.com, CNNMoney.com and SI.com, partially offset by a decrease in print Advertising revenues.
     Other revenues decreased due primarily to declines at Synapse, a subscription marketing business, Southern Living At Home and licensing revenues from AOL.
     Costs of revenues remained essentially flat and, as a percentage of revenues, were 42% and 41% for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Costs of revenues for the magazine publishing business include manufacturing costs (paper, printing and distribution) and editorial-related costs, which together decreased 2% to $384 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007, primarily due to editorial-related and print cost savings. These decreases at the magazine publishing business were offset by increased costs associated with investments in digital properties, including incremental editorial costs.
     Selling, general and administrative expenses remained essentially flat primarily due to recent cost savings initiatives and the closure of Teen People, offset by costs associated with the investment in digital properties and the unfavorable effects of foreign currency exchange rates at IPC.

     As previously discussed in “Significant Transactions and Other Items Affecting Comparability,” the results for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 include $35 million and $12 million, respectively, of restructuring costs, primarily severance associated with continuing efforts to streamline operations and costs related to the shutdown of LIFE magazine in the first quarter of 2007.
     Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization and Operating Income decreased primarily due to a decline in revenues and an increase in restructuring charges of $23 million.
     As discussed in “Recent Developments,” on March 3, 2007, the Company sold its Parenting Group and most of the Time4 Media magazine titles to a subsidiary of Bonnier for approximately $220 million, which resulted in a pretax gain of approximately $54 million. The operations of the Parenting Group and most of the Time4 Media magazine titles that were sold have been reflected as discontinued operations for all periods presented.
     As discussed in “Recent Developments,” on April 9, 2007, the Company sold its 50% interest in Bookspan, a joint venture that primarily owns and operates book clubs via direct mail and e-commerce, to a subsidiary of Bertelsmann for a purchase price of $145 million, which will result in a pretax gain of approximately $100 million in the second quarter of 2007.

     As previously discussed, the Company recognized legal reserves as well as legal and other professional fees related to the defense of various shareholder lawsuits, totaling $171 million and $79 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. In addition, the Company recognized related insurance recoveries of $8 million and $50 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Legal fees are expected to continue to be incurred in future periods, primarily related to ongoing proceedings with respect to certain former employees of the Company.
     As previously discussed under “Significant Transactions and Other Items Affecting Comparability,” the results for the three months ended March 31, 2006 include approximately $5 million of restructuring costs and a gain of approximately $20 million on the sale of two aircraft.
     Excluding the items discussed above, Operating Loss before Depreciation and Amortization and Operating Loss decreased due primarily to lower professional and financial advisory costs.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY
     Management believes that cash generated by or available to Time Warner should be sufficient to fund its capital and liquidity needs for the foreseeable future, including the quarterly dividend payments and the completion of its common stock repurchase program. Time Warner’s sources of cash include cash provided by operations, expected proceeds from recently announced sales of assets, cash and equivalents on hand and available borrowing capacity under its committed credit facilities and commercial paper programs of $5.270 billion at Time Warner and $3.023 billion at TWC, in each case as of March 31, 2007, and access to the capital markets. Time Warner increased the size of its unsecured commercial paper program from $5.0 billion to $7.0 billion in January 2007. In addition, on April 9, 2007, TWC completed the $5.0 billion Cable Bond Offering (defined below), and used the net proceeds to repay all of the outstanding indebtedness under its three-year term facility and a portion of the outstanding indebtedness under its five-year term facility.
Current Financial Condition
     At March 31, 2007, Time Warner had $35.041 billion of debt, $1.041 billion of cash and equivalents (net debt of $34.000 billion, defined as total debt less cash and equivalents), $300 million of mandatorily redeemable preferred membership units at a subsidiary and $60.048 billion of shareholders’ equity, compared to $34.997 billion of debt, $1.549 billion of cash and equivalents (net debt of $33.448 billion), $300 million of mandatorily redeemable preferred membership units at a subsidiary and $60.389 billion of shareholders’ equity at December 31, 2006.
     The following table shows the significant items contributing to the increase in net debt from December 31, 2006 to March 31, 2007 (millions):
         
Balance at December 31, 2006
  $ 33,448  
Cash provided by operations
    (1,399 )
Proceeds from exercise of stock options
    (242 )
Capital expenditures and product development costs from continuing operations
    914  
Dividends paid to common stockholders
    211  
Repurchases of common stock
    2,089  
Proceeds from sale of AOL’s German access business
    (850 )
Proceeds from sale of the Parenting Group and most of the Time4 Media magazine titles
    (220 )
All other, net
    49  
 
     
Balance at March 31, 2007(a)
  $ 34,000  
 
     
 
(a)   Included in the net debt balance is approximately $210 million that represents the net unamortized fair value adjustment recognized as a result of the merger of AOL and Historic TW.
     As noted in “Recent Developments,” Time Warner’s Board of Directors has authorized a common stock repurchase program that allows the Company to purchase up to an aggregate of $20 billion of common stock during the period from July 29, 2005 through December 31, 2007. Purchases under the stock repurchase program may be made from time to time on the open market and in privately negotiated transactions. Size and timing of these purchases is based on a number of factors, including price and business and market conditions. At existing price levels, the Company intends to continue purchases under its stock repurchase program within its stated objective of maintaining a net debt-to-Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization ratio, as defined, of approximately 3-to-1 and expects it will complete the program by the end of the second quarter of 2007. From the program’s inception through May 1, 2007, the Company repurchased approximately 1.0 billion shares of common stock for approximately $18.4 billion pursuant to trading programs under Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange, including approximately 208 million shares of common stock for approximately $3.6 billion purchased under prepaid stock repurchase contracts (Note 6).
     As noted in “Recent Developments,” on April 9, 2007, the Company sold its 50% interest in Bookspan, a joint venture that primarily owns and operates book clubs via direct mail and e-commerce, to a subsidiary of Bertelsmann for a purchase price of $145 million, which will result in a pretax gain of approximately $100 million in the second quarter of 2007 (Note 3).

     As noted in “Recent Developments,” on December 14, 2006, Turner announced an agreement with Claxson to purchase seven pay television networks currently operating in Latin America for approximately $235 million (net of cash acquired). The transaction, which is subject to customary closing conditions, is expected to close in the second or third quarter of 2007.
     On December 29, 2006, the Company completed the sale of AOL’s U.K. access business for $712 million in cash, $476 million of which was paid at closing and the remainder of which is payable over the eighteen months following the closing. In the second quarter of 2007, the Company expects to receive approximately $70 million of the amount payable at December 31, 2006. The receivable due from the purchaser of the U.K. access business is non-interest bearing, and was recorded at its discounted present value upon the closing of the sale transaction. In addition, the receivable is denominated in British pounds, and the U.S. dollar amount presented is subject to change based on fluctuations in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the British pound.
     On May 1, 2007, Time Warner’s 6.15% notes due May 1, 2007 (aggregate principal of $1.0 billion) matured and were retired.
Cash Flows
     Cash and equivalents decreased by $508 million and $1.835 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Components of these changes are discussed below in more detail.
Operating Activities
     Details of cash provided by operations are as follows (millions):

Cash provided by operations
  $ 1,399     $ 2,347  
 
           
 
(a)   Includes interest income received of $19 million and $45 million in 2007 and 2006, respectively.
 
(b)   Includes income tax refunds received of $32 million and $16 million in 2007 and 2006, respectively.
 
(c)   Reflects net income from discontinued operations of $16 million and $255 million in 2007 and 2006, respectively, net of noncash gains and expenses and working capital-related adjustments of $59 million in 2007 and $(136) million in 2006.
 
(d)   Includes payments for restructuring and merger-related costs and payments for certain other merger-related liabilities, net of accruals.
       Cash provided by operations decreased to $1.399 billion in 2007 compared to $2.347 billion in 2006. The decrease in cash provided by operations was related primarily to an increase in payments made in connection with the settlements in the securities litigation and the government investigations and an increase in cash used for working capital, partially offset by an increase in Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization. The changes in components of working capital are subject to wide fluctuations based on the timing of cash transactions related to production schedules, the acquisition of programming, collection of accounts receivable and similar items. The change in working capital between periods is primarily related to lower cash collections on receivables and higher payments on accounts payables.

     Cash provided by investing activities was $140 million in 2007 compared to cash used by investing activities of $23 million in 2006. The change in cash provided (used) by investing activities is primarily due to an increase in proceeds from the sales of assets, partially offset by an increase in capital expenditures and product development costs, principally at the Company’s Cable segment. Such capital expenditures were principally associated with the Acquired Systems, as well as the continued roll-out of TWC’s advanced digital services and continued growth in high-speed data services in the Legacy Systems.
     As a result of the Adelphia/Comcast Transactions, the Company has made and anticipates continuing to make significant capital expenditures related to the continued integration of the Acquired Systems, including improvements to plant and technical performance and upgrading system capacity, which will allow TWC to offer its advanced services and features in the Acquired Systems. Through December 31, 2006, the Company incurred approximately $200 million of such expenditures, and the Company estimates that it will incur additional expenditures of approximately $225 million to $275 million during 2007 (including $43 million incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2007). TWC expects that these upgrades will be substantially complete by the end of 2007. The Company does not believe that these expenditures will have a material negative impact on its liquidity or capital resources.

     Cash used by financing activities was $2.047 billion in 2007 compared to cash used by financing activities of $4.159 billion in 2006. The change in cash used by financing activities is primarily due to an increase in net borrowings and a decline in repurchases of common stock made in connection with the Company’s common stock repurchase program.
TWC Debt Securities
     On April 9, 2007, TWC completed the issuance of $5.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes and debentures (the “Cable Bond Offering”) consisting of $1.5 billion principal amount of 5.40% Notes due 2012 (the “2012 Notes”), $2.0 billion principal amount of 5.85% Notes due 2017 (the “2017 Notes”) and $1.5 billion principal amount of 6.55% Debentures due 2037 (the “2037 Debentures” and, together with the 2012 Notes and the 2017 Notes, the “Cable Debt Securities”) pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Cable Debt Securities are guaranteed by TWE and TW NY Cable Holding Inc. (“TWNYCH” and, together with TWE, the “Guarantors”). TWC used a portion of the net proceeds of the Cable Bond Offering to repay all of the outstanding indebtedness under its $4.0 billion three-year term credit facility, which was terminated on April 13, 2007. The balance of the net proceeds was used to repay a portion of the outstanding indebtedness under TWC’s $4.0 billion five-year term credit facility on April 27, 2007, which reduced the amounts outstanding under that facility to $3.045 billion.
     The Cable Debt Securities were issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of April 9, 2007 (the “Base Cable Indenture”), by and among TWC, the Guarantors and The Bank of New York, as trustee, as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of April 9, 2007 (the “First Supplemental Cable Indenture” and, together with the Cable Base Indenture, the “Cable Indenture”), by and among TWC, the Guarantors and The Bank of New York, as trustee.
     The 2012 Notes will mature on July 2, 2012, the 2017 Notes will mature on May 1, 2017 and the 2037 Debentures will mature on May 1, 2037. Interest on the 2012 Notes will be payable semi-annually in arrears on January 2 and July 2 of each year, beginning on July 2, 2007. Interest on the 2017 Notes and the 2037 Debentures will be payable semi-annually in arrears on May 1 and November 1 of each year, beginning on November 1, 2007. The Cable Debt Securities are unsecured senior obligations of TWC and rank equally with its other unsecured and unsubordinated obligations. The guarantees of the Cable Debt Securities are unsecured senior obligations of the Guarantors and rank equally in right of payment with all other unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the Guarantors.
     The Cable Debt Securities may be redeemed in whole or in part at any time at TWC’s option at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Cable Debt Securities being redeemed and (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments on the Cable Debt Securities discounted to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis at a government treasury rate plus 20 basis points for the 2012 Notes, 30 basis points for the 2017 Notes and 35 basis points for the 2037 Debentures as further described in the Cable Indenture, plus, in each case, accrued but unpaid interest to the redemption date.

     The Cable Indenture contains customary covenants relating to restrictions on the ability of TWC or any material subsidiary of TWC to create liens and on the ability of TWC and the Guarantors to consolidate, merge or convey or transfer substantially all of their assets. The Cable Indenture also contains customary events of default.
     In connection with the issuance of the Cable Debt Securities, on April 9, 2007, TWC, the Guarantors and the initial purchasers of the Cable Debt Securities entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) pursuant to which TWC agreed, among other things, to use its commercially reasonable efforts to consummate a registered exchange offer for the Cable Debt Securities within 270 days after the issuance date of the Cable Debt Securities or cause a shelf registration statement covering the resale of the Cable Debt Securities to be declared effective within specified periods. TWC will be required to pay additional interest of 0.25% per annum on the Cable Debt Securities if it fails to timely comply with its obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement until such time as it complies.
Commercial Paper Programs
     On January 25, 2007, Time Warner entered into a $7.0 billion unsecured commercial paper program (the “TW Program”) that replaced its previous $5.0 billion unsecured commercial paper program, which was terminated in February 2007 upon repayment of the last amounts issued thereunder. The obligations of Time Warner under the TW Program are guaranteed by TW AOL Holdings Inc. (“TW AOL”) and Historic TW. In addition, the obligations of Historic TW are guaranteed by Turner and Time Warner Companies, Inc. Proceeds from the TW Program may be used for general corporate purposes, including investments, repayment of debt and acquisitions. Commercial paper issued by Time Warner is supported by unused committed capacity under the Company’s $7.0 billion senior unsecured five-year revolving credit facility. As of March 31, 2007, approximately $1.652 billion of commercial paper was outstanding under the TW Program.
     On December 4, 2006, TWC entered into a $6.0 billion unsecured commercial paper program (the “TWC Program”) that replaced its previous $2.0 billion commercial paper program, which was terminated on February 14, 2007 upon repayment of the last remaining notes issued thereunder. The TWC Program is guaranteed by TWNYCH and TWE. Commercial paper issued by TWC under the TWC Program is supported by unused committed capacity under TWC’s $6.0 billion senior unsecured cable revolving credit facility and ranks pari passu with other unsecured senior indebtedness of TWC, TWE and TWNYCH. As of March 31, 2007, approximately $2.8 billion of commercial paper was outstanding under the TWC Program.
Programming Licensing Backlog
     Programming licensing backlog represents the amount of future revenue not yet recorded from cash contracts for the licensing of theatrical and television product for pay cable, basic cable, network and syndicated television exhibition. Backlog was approximately $4.0 billion and $4.2 billion at March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. Included in these amounts is licensing of film product from one Time Warner division to another Time Warner division in the amount of $695 million and $702 million at March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.
CAUTION CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
     This document contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, particularly statements anticipating future growth in revenues, Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization and cash from operations. Words such as “anticipates,” “estimates,” “expects,” “projects,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes” and words and terms of similar substance used in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial performance identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on management’s current expectations and beliefs about future events. As with any projection or forecast, they are inherently susceptible to uncertainty and changes in circumstances, and the Company is under no obligation to, and expressly disclaims any obligation to, update or alter its forward-looking statements whether as a result of such changes, new information, subsequent events or otherwise.
     Various factors could adversely affect the operations, business or financial results of Time Warner or its business segments in the future and cause Time Warner’s 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 Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 (the “2006 Form 10-K”), and in Time Warner’s other filings made from time to time with the SEC after the date of this report. In addition, Time Warner operates in highly competitive, consumer and technology-driven and rapidly changing media, entertainment, interactive services and cable businesses. These businesses are affected by government regulation, economic, strategic, political and social conditions, consumer response to new and existing products and services, technological developments and, particularly in view of new technologies, the continued ability to protect intellectual property rights. Time Warner’s actual results could differ materially from management’s expectations because of changes in such factors.
     Further, for Time Warner generally, lower than expected valuations associated with the cash flows and revenues at Time Warner’s segments may result in Time Warner’s inability to realize the value of recorded intangibles and goodwill at those segments. In addition, achieving the Company’s financial objectives, including growth in operations, maintaining financial ratios and a strong balance sheet, could be adversely affected by the factors discussed in detail in Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” in the 2006 Form 10-K, as well as:
    economic slowdowns;
 
    the impact of terrorist acts and hostilities;
 
    changes in the Company’s plans, strategies and intentions;
 
    the impacts of significant acquisitions, dispositions and other similar transactions;
 
    the failure to meet earnings expectations;
 
    decreased liquidity in the capital markets, including any reduction in the ability to access the capital markets for debt securities or bank financings; and
 
    the significant amount of debt obligations incurred in connection with the Adelphia/Comcast Transactions.

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 Company’s “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 Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely making known to them material information relating to the Company and the Company’s consolidated subsidiaries required to be disclosed in the Company’s reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act. The Company has investments in certain unconsolidated entities. As the Company does not control these entities, its disclosure controls and procedures with respect to such entities are necessarily substantially more limited than those it maintains with respect to its consolidated subsidiaries.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
     On July 31, 2006, the Company’s Cable segment acquired certain cable systems from Adelphia and Comcast and, as a result, is integrating the processes, systems and controls relating to the acquired cable systems into the Cable segment’s existing system of internal control over financial reporting. The Cable segment has continued to integrate into its control structure many of the processes, systems and controls relating to the acquired cable systems in accordance with its integration plans. In addition, various transitional controls designed to supplement existing internal controls have been implemented with respect to the acquired systems. Except for the processes, systems and controls relating to the integration of the acquired cable systems at the Cable segment, there have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2007 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal control over financial reporting.

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

Income Per Common Share
     Basic income per common share is computed by dividing the net income applicable to common shares after preferred dividend requirements, if any, by the weighted average of common shares outstanding during the period. Weighted-average common shares include shares of Time Warner’s common stock and Series LMCN-V common stock. Diluted income per common share adjusts basic income per common share for the effects of convertible securities, stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance stock units and other potentially dilutive financial instruments, only in the periods in which such effect is dilutive.
     Set forth below is a reconciliation of basic and diluted income per common share before discontinued operations and cumulative effect of accounting change:

     Diluted income per common share for March 31, 2007 and 2006 excludes approximately 289 million and 398 million, respectively, of common shares issuable under the Company’s stock compensation plans because they do not have a dilutive effect.
Changes in Basis of Presentation
     The 2006 financial information has been recast so that the basis of presentation is consistent with that of the 2007 financial information. Specifically, amounts were recast to reflect the retrospective presentation of certain businesses that were sold or that the Company intends to sell as discontinued operations (see Note 3).
Consolidation of Kansas City Pool
     On January 1, 2007, the Company began consolidating the results of the Kansas City, south and west Texas and New Mexico cable systems (the “Kansas City Pool”) upon the distribution of the assets of Texas and Kansas City Cable Partners L.P. (“TKCCP”) to its partners.
Amounts Related to Securities Litigation
     At December 31, 2006, the Company had a reserve of approximately $620 million related to its remaining unresolved securities litigation matters. During the first quarter of 2007, the Company reached agreements to pay approximately $764 million to settle substantially all of the remaining claims. The Company recorded an incremental charge of approximately $152 million during the first quarter of 2007 reflecting these 2007 settlements, including approximately $8 million related to an expected attorneys’ fee award related to a previously settled matter. The Company believes the potential exposure in any securities litigation matters that remain pending at March 31, 2007 to be de minimis.
     The Company recognizes insurance recoveries when it becomes probable that such amounts will be received. The Company recognized insurance recoveries of approximately $8 million and $50 million related to Employee Retirement Income Security Act (“ERISA”) matters for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Stock-Based Compensation
     The Company follows the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“Statement”) No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (“FAS 123R”), which requires that a company measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. That cost is recognized in the statement of operations over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award. FAS 123R also requires that excess tax benefits, as defined, realized from the exercise of stock options be reported as a financing cash inflow rather than as a reduction of taxes paid in cash flow from operations.
     The grant-date fair value of a stock option award is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, consistent with the provisions of FAS 123R and the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 107, Share-Based Payment. Because option-pricing models require the use of subjective assumptions, changes in these assumptions can materially affect the fair value of the options. The Company determines the volatility assumption for these stock options using implied volatilities from its traded options as well as quotes from third-party investment banks. The expected term, which represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding, is estimated based on the historical exercise experience of Time Warner employees. Separate groups of employees that have similar historical exercise behavior are considered separately for valuation purposes. The risk-free rate assumed in valuing the options is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for the expected term of the option. The Company determines the expected dividend yield percentage by dividing the expected annual dividend by the market price of Time Warner common stock at the date of grant.
     Prior to the adoption of FAS 123R on January 1, 2006, the Company recognized stock-based compensation expense for awards with graded vesting by treating each vesting tranche as a separate award and recognizing compensation expense ratably for each tranche. For equity awards granted subsequent to the adoption of FAS 123R, the Company treats such awards as a single award and recognizes stock-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis (net of estimated forfeitures) over the employee service period. Stock-based compensation expense is recorded in costs of revenues or selling, general and administrative expense depending on the employee’s job function.
     When recording compensation cost for equity awards, FAS 123R requires companies to estimate the number of equity awards granted that are expected to be forfeited. Prior to the adoption of FAS 123R, the Company recognized forfeitures when they occurred, rather than using an estimate at the grant date and subsequently adjusting the estimated forfeitures to reflect actual forfeitures. The Company recorded a benefit of $25 million, net of tax, as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle upon the adoption of FAS 123R in the first quarter of 2006, to recognize the effect of estimating the number of awards granted prior to January 1, 2006 that are not ultimately expected to vest.
Recent Accounting Standards
Accounting for Sabbatical Leave and Other Similar Benefits
     On January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 06-02, Accounting for Sabbatical Leave and Other Similar Benefits (“EITF 06-02”), related to certain sabbatical leave and other employment arrangements that are similar to a sabbatical leave. EITF 06-02 provides that an employee’s right to a compensated absence under a sabbatical leave or similar benefit arrangement in which the employee is not required to perform any duties during the absence is an accumulating benefit. Therefore, such arrangements should be accounted for as a liability with the cost recognized over the service period during which the employee earns the benefit. Adoption of this guidance resulted in an increase to accumulated deficit of approximately $97 million (approximately $59 million, net of tax) on January 1, 2007. The resulting change in the accrual for the three months ended March 31, 2007 was not material.
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes
     On January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48, which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income tax positions. This interpretation requires the Company to recognize in the consolidated financial statements only those tax positions determined to be more likely than not of being sustained upon examination, based on the technical merits of the positions. Upon adoption, the Company recognized approximately $445 million of tax benefits for positions that were previously unrecognized, of which approximately $433 million was accounted for as a reduction to the

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
accumulated deficit balance and approximately $12 million was accounted for as an increase to the paid-in-capital balance as of January 1, 2007. Additionally, the adoption of FIN 48 resulted in the recognition of additional tax reserves for positions where there is uncertainty about the timing or character of such deductibility. These additional reserves were largely offset by increased deferred tax assets.
     After considering the impact of adopting FIN 48, the Company had a $1.6 billion reserve for uncertain income tax positions as of January 1, 2007. Movement in the reserve balance during the three months ended March 31, 2007 was not material. The Company does not presently anticipate such uncertain income tax positions will significantly increase or decrease prior to March 31, 2008; however, actual developments in this area could differ from those currently expected. The majority of such unrecognized tax positions, if ever recognized in the financial statements, would be recorded in the statement of operations as part of the income tax provision.
     The income tax reserve as of January 1, 2007 included an accrual for interest and penalties of approximately $117 million. The impact of timing differences and tax attributes are considered when calculating interest and penalty accruals associated with the tax reserve. The change in the accrual for interest and penalties for the three months ended March 31, 2007 was not material. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties accrued on uncertain tax positions as part of income tax expense.
     The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. and various state and local and foreign jurisdictions. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has commenced an examination of the Company’s U.S. income tax returns for the 2002 through 2004 period. The tax years that remain subject to examination by significant jurisdiction are as follows:
     
U.S. federal
  2002 through the current period
California
  2002 through the current period
New York State
  1997 through the current period
New York City
  1997 through the current period
Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements
     The EITF has reached consensuses on EITF Issue No. 06-10, Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Collateral Assignment Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements (“EITF 06-10”), and EITF Issue No. 06-04, Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefits Aspects of Endorsement Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements (“EITF 06-04”), which require that a company recognize a liability for the postretirement benefits associated with endorsement and collateral assignment split-dollar life insurance arrangements. The provisions of EITF 06-10 and EITF 06-04 will be effective for Time Warner as of January 1, 2008 and will impact the Company in instances where the Company has contractually agreed to maintain a life insurance policy (i.e., the Company pays the premiums) for an employee in periods in which the employee is no longer providing services. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
2. TIME WARNER CABLE INC.
Transactions with Adelphia and Comcast
     On July 31, 2006, a subsidiary of Time Warner Cable Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, “TWC”), Time Warner NY Cable LLC (“TW NY”), and Comcast Corporation (together with its subsidiaries, “Comcast”) completed their respective acquisitions of assets comprising in the aggregate substantially all of the cable assets of Adelphia Communications Corporation (“Adelphia”) (the “Adelphia Acquisition”). Additionally, on July 31, 2006, immediately before the closing of the Adelphia Acquisition, Comcast’s interests in TWC and Time Warner Entertainment Company, L.P. (“TWE”), a subsidiary of TWC, were redeemed (the “Redemptions”). Following the Redemptions and the Adelphia Acquisition, on July 31, 2006, TW NY and Comcast swapped certain cable systems, most of which were acquired from Adelphia, in order to enhance TWC’s and Comcast’s respective geographic clusters of subscribers (the “Exchange” and, together with the Adelphia Acquisition and the Redemptions, the “Adelphia/Comcast Transactions”). The results of the systems acquired in connection with the Adelphia/Comcast Transactions have been included in the consolidated statement of operations since

39

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
the closing of the transactions on July 31, 2006. As a result of the closing of the Adelphia/Comcast Transactions, TWC acquired systems with approximately 4.0 million basic video subscribers and disposed of the systems previously owned by TWC and transferred to Comcast in connection with the Redemptions and the Exchange with approximately 0.8 million basic video subscribers for a net gain of approximately 3.2 million basic video subscribers.
     On February 13, 2007, Adelphia’s Chapter 11 reorganization plan became effective and, under applicable securities law regulations and provisions of the U.S. bankruptcy code, TWC became a public company subject to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Under the terms of the reorganization plan, most of the shares of TWC Class A Common Stock that Adelphia received in the Adelphia Acquisition (representing approximately 16% of TWC’s outstanding common stock) are being distributed to Adelphia’s creditors. On March 1, 2007, TWC’s Class A common stock began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “TWC.”
Texas/Kansas City Cable Joint Venture
     TKCCP is a 50-50 joint venture between a consolidated subsidiary of TWC (Time Warner Entertainment-Advance/Newhouse Partnership (“TWE-A/N”)) and Comcast. On January 1, 2007, TKCCP distributed its assets to its partners. TWC received the Kansas City Pool, which served approximately 788,000 basic video subscribers as of December 31, 2006, and Comcast received the pool of assets consisting of the Houston cable systems (the “Houston Pool”), which served approximately 795,000 basic video subscribers as of December 31, 2006. TWC began consolidating the results of the Kansas City Pool on January 1, 2007. TWC expects that TKCCP will be formally dissolved in the second quarter of 2007. For accounting purposes, the Company has treated the distribution of TKCCP’s assets as a sale of the Company’s 50% equity interest in the Houston Pool and as an acquisition of Comcast’s 50% equity interest in the Kansas City Pool. As a result of the sale of the Company’s 50% equity interest in the Houston Pool, the Company recorded a pretax gain of approximately $146 million in the first quarter of 2007, which is included as a component of other income, net in the consolidated statement of operations.
     The acquisition of Comcast’s 50% equity interest in the Kansas City Pool on January 1, 2007 was treated as a step-acquisition and accounted for as a purchase business combination. The consideration paid to acquire the 50% equity interest in the Kansas City Pool was the fair value of the 50% equity interest in the Houston Pool transferred to Comcast. The estimated fair value of TWC’s 50% interest in the Houston Pool (approximately $880 million) was determined using a discounted cash flow analysis and was reduced by debt assumed by Comcast. Approximately $612 million of the purchase price has been allocated to intangible assets not subject to amortization and $183 million has been allocated to property, plant and equipment with the remainder of $85 million allocated to other assets and liabilities.

3. BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS
Bookspan
     On April 9, 2007, the Company sold its 50% interest in Bookspan, a joint venture that primarily owns and operates book clubs via direct mail and e-commerce, to a subsidiary of Bertelsmann AG (“Bertelsmann”) for a purchase price of $145 million, which will result in a pretax gain of approximately $100 million in the second quarter of 2007.
TradeDoubler
     On March 14, 2007, AOL withdrew its cash tender offer to acquire all outstanding shares of TradeDoubler AB (“TradeDoubler”). The completion of the offer was subject to the condition that at least 90% of TradeDoubler’s outstanding shares be tendered in the offer, and this condition was not met.
Parenting and Time4 Media
     On March 3, 2007, the Company sold its Parenting Group and most of the Time4 Media magazine titles, consisting of 18 of Time Inc.’s smaller niche magazines, to a subsidiary of Bonnier AB, a Swedish media company (“Bonnier”), for approximately $220 million, which resulted in a pretax gain of approximately $54 million. The results of operations of the

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
Parenting Group and Time4 Media magazine titles that were sold have been reflected as discontinued operations for all periods presented.
Sale of AOL’s European Access Businesses
     On February 28, 2007, the Company completed the sale of AOL’s German access business to Telecom Italia S.p.A. for $850 million in cash, resulting in a pretax gain of approximately $670 million. In connection with this sale, the Company entered into a separate agreement to provide ongoing web services, including content, e-mail and other online tools and services to Telecom Italia S.p.A.
     As a result of the historical interdependency of AOL’s European access and audience businesses, the historical cash flows and operations of the access and audience businesses were not clearly distinguishable. Accordingly, AOL’s German access business and its other European access businesses, which were sold in 2006, have not been reflected as discontinued operations in the consolidated financial statements.
Transactions with Liberty
     In February 2007, the Company signed a non-binding letter of intent with Liberty Media Corporation (“Liberty”) regarding the exchange of a significant portion of Liberty’s interest in Time Warner for a subsidiary of Time Warner that contains a mix of non-strategic assets, including the Atlanta Braves franchise (the “Braves”) and Leisure Arts, Inc. (“Leisure Arts”), and cash. Any sale of a major league baseball team requires the prior approval of Major League Baseball (the “League”). Therefore, the Company and Liberty have submitted to the League documents related to the proposed transfer of the Braves and requested the League’s approval of the transfer. There can be no assurance that the League will approve the proposed transfer or that the parties will reach a definitive agreement regarding the proposed transaction. In the first quarter of 2007, the Company recorded an impairment of approximately $13 million on the Company’s investment in Leisure Arts. As a result of the Company’s intent to dispose of the Braves and Leisure Arts, the results of operations of both businesses have been reflected as discontinued operations for all periods presented.
Claxson
     On December 14, 2006, Turner announced an agreement with Claxson Interactive Group, Inc. to purchase seven pay television networks currently operating in Latin America for approximately $235 million (net of cash acquired). The transaction, which is subject to customary closing conditions, is expected to close in the second or third quarter of 2007.
Divestiture of Certain Non-Core AOL Wireless Businesses
     The Company is in discussions with prospective buyers regarding the divestiture of certain non-core AOL wireless businesses. In the first quarter of 2007, the Company recorded an impairment of approximately $18 million on the long-lived assets associated with one of the non-core AOL wireless businesses. As a result of the Company’s intent to dispose of these businesses, the results of operations of these businesses have been reflected as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

5. LONG TERM DEBT AND OTHER FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS
TWC Debt Securities
     On April 9, 2007, TWC completed the issuance of $5.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes and debentures (the “Cable Bond Offering”) consisting of $1.5 billion principal amount of 5.40% Notes due 2012 (the “2012 Notes”), $2.0 billion principal amount of 5.85% Notes due 2017 (the “2017 Notes”) and $1.5 billion principal amount of 6.55% Debentures due 2037 (the “2037 Debentures” and, together with the 2012 Notes and the 2017 Notes, the

“Cable Debt Securities”) pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Cable Debt Securities are guaranteed by TWE and TW NY Cable Holding Inc. (“TWNYCH” and, together with TWE, the “Guarantors”). TWC used a portion of the net proceeds of the Cable Bond Offering to repay all of the outstanding indebtedness under its $4.0 billion three-year term credit facility, which was terminated on April 13, 2007. The balance of the net proceeds was used to repay a portion of the outstanding indebtedness under TWC’s $4.0 billion five-year term credit facility on April 27, 2007, which reduced the amounts outstanding under that facility to $3.045 billion.
     The Cable Debt Securities were issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of April 9, 2007 (the “Base Cable Indenture”), by and among TWC, the Guarantors and The Bank of New York, as trustee, as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of April 9, 2007 (the “First Supplemental Cable Indenture” and, together with the Cable Base Indenture, the “Cable Indenture”), by and among TWC, the Guarantors and The Bank of New York, as trustee.
     The 2012 Notes will mature on July 2, 2012, the 2017 Notes will mature on May 1, 2017 and the 2037 Debentures will mature on May 1, 2037. Interest on the 2012 Notes will be payable semi-annually in arrears on January 2 and July 2 of each year, beginning on July 2, 2007. Interest on the 2017 Notes and the 2037 Debentures will be payable semi-annually in arrears on May 1 and November 1 of each year, beginning on November 1, 2007. The Cable Debt Securities are unsecured senior obligations of TWC and rank equally with its other unsecured and unsubordinated obligations. The guarantees of the Cable Debt Securities are unsecured senior obligations of the Guarantors and rank equally in right of payment with all other unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the Guarantors.
     The Cable Debt Securities may be redeemed in whole or in part at any time at TWC’s option at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Cable Debt Securities being redeemed and (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments on the Cable Debt Securities discounted to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis at a government treasury rate plus 20 basis points for the 2012 Notes, 30 basis points for the 2017 Notes and 35 basis points for the 2037 Debentures as further described in the Cable Indenture, plus, in each case, accrued but unpaid interest to the redemption date.
     The Cable Indenture contains customary covenants relating to restrictions on the ability of TWC or any material subsidiary of TWC to create liens and on the ability of TWC and the Guarantors to consolidate, merge or convey or transfer substantially all of their assets. The Cable Indenture also contains customary events of default.
     In connection with the issuance of the Cable Debt Securities, on April 9, 2007, TWC, the Guarantors and the initial purchasers of the Cable Debt Securities entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) pursuant to which TWC agreed, among other things, to use its commercially reasonable efforts to consummate a registered exchange offer for the Cable Debt Securities within 270 days after the issuance date of the Cable Debt Securities or cause a shelf registration statement covering the resale of the Cable Debt Securities to be declared effective within specified periods. TWC will be required to pay additional interest of 0.25% per annum on the Cable Debt Securities if it fails to timely comply with its obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement until such time as it complies.
Commercial Paper Programs
     On January 25, 2007, Time Warner entered into a $7.0 billion unsecured commercial paper program (the “TW Program”) that replaced its previous $5.0 billion unsecured commercial paper program, which was terminated in February 2007 upon repayment of the last amounts issued thereunder. The obligations of Time Warner under the TW Program are guaranteed by TW AOL Holdings Inc. (“TW AOL”) and Historic TW. In addition, the obligations of Historic TW are guaranteed by Turner and Time Warner Companies, Inc. Proceeds from the TW Program may be used for general corporate purposes, including investments, repayment of debt and acquisitions. Commercial paper issued by Time Warner is supported by unused committed capacity under the Company’s $7.0 billion senior unsecured five-year revolving credit facility. As of March 31, 2007, approximately $1.652 billion of commercial paper was outstanding under the TW Program.
     On December 4, 2006, TWC entered into a $6.0 billion unsecured commercial paper program (the “TWC Program”) that replaced its previous $2.0 billion commercial paper program, which was terminated on February 14, 2007 upon repayment of the last remaining notes issued thereunder. The TWC Program is guaranteed by TWNYCH and TWE.

Commercial paper issued by TWC under the TWC Program is supported by unused committed capacity under TWC’s $6.0 billion senior unsecured revolving credit facility and ranks pari passu with other unsecured senior indebtedness of TWC, TWE and TWNYCH. As of March 31, 2007, approximately $2.8 billion of commercial paper was outstanding under the TWC Program.
6. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Common Stock Repurchase Program
     Time Warner’s Board of Directors has authorized a common stock repurchase program that allows the Company to purchase up to an aggregate of $20 billion of common stock during the period from July 29, 2005 through December 31, 2007. Purchases under the stock repurchase program may be made from time to time on the open market and in privately negotiated transactions. Size and timing of these purchases is based on a number of factors, including price and business and market conditions. At existing price levels, the Company intends to continue purchases under its stock repurchase program within its stated objective of maintaining a net debt-to-Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization ratio, as defined, of approximately 3-to-1 and expects it will complete the program by the end of the second quarter of 2007. From the program’s inception through March 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company repurchased approximately 984 million shares of common stock for approximately $17.9 billion and 359 million shares of common stock for approximately $6.3 billion, respectively, pursuant to trading programs under Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act.
7. STOCK COMPENSATION
     The Company has three active equity plans under which it is authorized to grant options to purchase up to an aggregate of 450 million shares of Time Warner common stock. Options have been granted to employees and non-employee directors of Time Warner with exercise prices equal to, or in excess of, the fair market value at the date of grant. Generally, the options vest ratably over a four-year vesting period and expire ten years from the date of grant. Certain option awards provide for accelerated vesting upon an election to retire pursuant to the Company’s defined benefit retirement plans or after reaching a specified age and years of service, as well as certain additional circumstances for non-employee directors. For the three months ended March 31, 2007, the Company granted approximately 27 million options at a weighted average grant date fair value per option of $5.15 ($3.19 net of taxes). For the three months ended March 31, 2006, the Company granted approximately 52 million options at a weighted average grant date fair value per option of $4.46 ($2.77 net of taxes). The assumptions presented in the table below represent the weighted-average value of the applicable assumption used to value stock options at their grant date.

     Time Warner also can grant shares of common stock or restricted stock units (“RSUs”), which generally vest between three to five years from the date of grant, to its employees and its non-employee directors pursuant to these equity plans, including an additional plan limited to non-employee directors. Certain RSU awards provide for accelerated vesting upon an election to retire pursuant to the Company’s defined benefit retirement plans or after reaching a specified age and years of service, as well as certain additional circumstances for non-employee directors. For the three months ended March 31, 2007, the Company granted approximately 8.2 million RSUs at a weighted average grant date fair value per RSU of $19.97. For the three months ended March 31, 2006, the Company granted approximately 3.8 million RSUs at a weighted average grant date fair value per RSU of $17.40.
     No awards of the Company’s stock options and RSUs were made in 2007 to employees of TWC. TWC awards will be granted under the Time Warner Cable Inc. 2006 Stock Incentive Plan, under which awards covering the issuance of up to 100,000,000 shares of TWC Class A common stock may be granted to directors, employees, and certain non-employee advisors of TWC. TWC made its first equity awards based on TWC Class A common stock in the second quarter of 2007.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
     Time Warner also has a performance share program for senior level executives. Under this program, recipients of performance share units (“PSUs”) are awarded a target number of PSUs that represent the contingent (unfunded and unsecured) right to receive shares of Company stock at the end of a three-year performance period based on the actual performance level achieved by the Company. Depending on the Company’s total shareholder return relative to the other companies in the S&P 500 Index, as well as a requirement of continued employment, the recipient of a PSU may receive 0% to 200% of the target PSUs granted based on a sliding scale where a relative ranking of less than the 25th percentile will pay 0% and a ranking at the 100th percentile will pay 200% of the target number of shares. PSU holders do not receive payments or accruals of dividends or dividend equivalents for regular cash dividends paid by the Company while the PSU is outstanding. Participants who are terminated by the Company other than for cause or who terminate their own employment for good reason or due to retirement or disability are generally entitled to a pro rata portion of the PSUs that would otherwise vest at the end of the performance period. For accounting purposes, the PSU is considered to have a market condition. The effect of a market condition is reflected in the grant date fair value of the award and, thus, compensation expense is recognized on this type of award provided that the requisite service is rendered (regardless of whether the market condition is achieved). The fair value of a PSU is estimated by using a Monte Carlo analysis to estimate the total return ranking of Time Warner among the S&P 500 Index companies over the performance period. For the three months ended March 31, 2007, the Company granted approximately 1.1 million target PSUs at a weighted average grant date fair value per PSU of $19.48. There were no PSUs granted in 2006.

8. BENEFIT PLANS
     Time Warner and certain of its subsidiaries have both funded and unfunded noncontributory defined benefit pension plans covering a majority of domestic employees and, to a lesser extent, have various defined benefit plans covering international employees. Pension benefits are based on formulas that reflect the employees’ years of service and compensation during their employment period and participation in the plans. Time Warner uses a December 31 measurement date for the majority of its plans. A summary of the components of the net periodic benefit cost from continuing operations recognized by substantially all of Time Warner’s domestic and international defined benefit pension plans for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 are as follows (millions):

(a)   The domestic benefit cost for the three months ended March 31, 2007 does not include the benefit cost attributable to the Adelphia and Comcast employees who will be eligible to participate in the plans beginning in August 2007. The estimated total benefit cost for these participants for the five months in 2007 in which they will be participating in the plans is estimated to be approximately $11 million.

Expected cash flows
     After considering the funded status of the Company’s defined benefit pension plans, movements in the discount rate, investment performance and related tax consequences, the Company may choose to make contributions to its pension plans in any given year. There currently are no minimum required contributions for domestic funded plans and no discretionary or noncash contributions are currently planned. For domestic unfunded plans, contributions will continue to be made to the extent benefits are paid. Expected benefit payments for domestic unfunded plans for 2007 are approximately $20 million.
9. MERGER, RESTRUCTURING AND SHUTDOWN COSTS
     In accordance with GAAP, Time Warner generally treats merger costs relating to business acquisitions as additional purchase price paid. However, certain merger costs do not meet the criteria for capitalization and are expensed as incurred as they either relate to the operations of the acquirer or otherwise did not qualify as a liability or cost assumed in an acquisition. In addition, the Company has incurred restructuring and shutdown costs unrelated to business acquisitions which are expensed as incurred.
Merger Costs Capitalized as a Cost of Acquisition
     During 2006, the Company acquired the remaining 50% interest in Courtroom Television Network LLC (“Court TV”) that it did not already own from Liberty. In connection with the 2006 acquisition of the additional Court TV interest, the Company incurred approximately $57 million in capitalizable merger costs (of which $5 million was incurred during the first quarter of 2007, with a corresponding increase in goodwill, as employee terminations and other exit costs were higher than originally estimated). These costs included approximately $36 million related to employee termination costs and approximately $21 million for various exit costs, including lease terminations. Employee termination costs ranged from senior executive to line personnel. Payments of $38 million have been made against this accrual as of March 31, 2007 ($4 million was paid against this liability for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and no payments were made for the three months ended March 31, 2006).
     As of March 31, 2007, there was also a remaining liability of approximately $23 million related to the AOL-Historic TW merger.
     As of March 31, 2007, out of the remaining liability of $42 million for all capitalized merger costs, $6 million was classified as a current liability, with the remaining $36 million classified as a long-term liability in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. Amounts relating to these liabilities are expected to be paid through 2014.
Merger, Restructuring and Shutdown Costs Expensed as Incurred
     Merger, restructuring and shutdown costs that were expensed as incurred for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 are as follows:

Adelphia/Comcast Transactions Merger-Related Costs
     Through the end of 2006, the Company incurred non-capitalizable merger-related costs at the Cable segment related to the Adelphia/Comcast Transactions of $46 million. These expenses primarily relate to consulting fees concerning integration planning as well as employee terminations. For the quarter ended March 31, 2007, the Company incurred an additional $4 million in non-capitalizable merger-related costs. Of the $46 million incurred through the end of 2006, $4 million was incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2006 (see Note 2).
2007 Restructuring Costs
     For the three months ended March 31, 2007, the Company incurred restructuring costs of approximately $60 million, primarily related to various employee terminations and other exit activities, including $19 million at the AOL segment, $6 million at the Cable segment and $35 million at the Publishing segment, which includes $8 million of shutdown costs related to the shutdown of LIFE magazine. Employee termination costs occurred across each of the segments and ranged from senior executive to line personnel. For the three months ended March 31, 2007, $11 million was paid against these liabilities. Amounts related to these liabilities are expected to be paid through 2009.
     As of March 31, 2007, out of the remaining liability of $49 million, $36 million was classified as a current liability, with the remaining liability of $13 million classified as a long-term liability in the consolidated balance sheet.
2006 and Prior Restructuring and Shutdown Costs
     During the years ended 2006, 2005 and 2004, the Company incurred restructuring and shutdown costs related to various employee and contractual terminations totaling $521 million. In connection with the 2006 and prior restructuring and shutdown costs, employee termination costs occurred across each of the segments and ranged from senior executives to line personnel. For the three months ended March 31, 2007, the Company incurred additional restructuring costs of $4 million at the AOL segment as a result of changes in estimates of these previously established restructuring accruals. For the three months ended March 31, 2006, the Company incurred restructuring costs of $26 million, including $6 million at the Cable segment, $12 million at the Publishing segment and $5 million at the Corporate segment. In addition, the Company incurred $3 million of additional restructuring charges ($2 million at the Filmed Entertainment segment and $1 million at the AOL segment) as a result of changes in estimates of previously established restructuring accruals.

10. SEGMENT INFORMATION
     Time Warner classifies its business interests into five reportable segments: AOL, consisting principally of interactive services; Cable, consisting principally of interests in cable systems that provide video, high-speed data and voice services; Filmed Entertainment, consisting principally of feature film, television and home video production and distribution; Networks, consisting principally of cable television networks; and Publishing, consisting principally of magazine publishing.
     Information as to the operations of Time Warner in each of its business segments is set forth below based on the nature of the products and services offered. Time Warner evaluates performance based on several factors, of which the primary financial measure is operating income before depreciation of tangible assets and amortization of intangible assets (“Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization”). Additionally, the Company has provided a summary of Operating Income by segment.

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

Contingencies
Securities Matters
Consolidated Securities Class Action
     During the Summer and Fall of 2002, 30 shareholder class action lawsuits were filed naming as defendants the Company, certain current and former executives of the Company and, in several instances, AOL. These lawsuits were filed in U.S. District Courts for the Southern District of New York, the Eastern District of Virginia and the Eastern District of Texas. The complaints purported to be made on behalf of certain shareholders of the Company and alleged that the Company made material misrepresentations and/or omissions of material fact in violation of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, and Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act. Plaintiffs claimed that the Company failed to disclose AOL’s declining advertising revenues and that the Company and AOL inappropriately inflated advertising revenues in a series of transactions. Certain of the lawsuits also alleged that certain of the individual defendants and other insiders at the Company improperly sold their personal holdings of Time Warner stock, that the Company failed to disclose that the January 2001 merger of America Online, Inc. (now AOL LLC) and Time Warner Inc., now known as Historic TW Inc. (“Historic TW”) (the “Merger” or the “AOL-Historic TW Merger”), was not generating the synergies anticipated at the time of the announcement of the merger and, further, that the Company inappropriately delayed writing down more than $50 billion of goodwill. The lawsuits sought an unspecified amount in compensatory damages. All of these lawsuits were centralized in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York for coordinated or consolidated pretrial proceedings (along with the federal derivative lawsuits and certain

lawsuits brought under ERISA described below) under the caption In re AOL Time Warner Inc. Securities and “ERISA” Litigation.
     The Minnesota State Board of Investment (“MSBI”) was designated lead plaintiff for the consolidated securities actions and filed a consolidated amended complaint on April 15, 2003, adding additional defendants including additional officers and directors of the Company, Morgan Stanley & Co., Salomon Smith Barney Inc., Citigroup Inc., Banc of America Securities LLC and JP Morgan Chase & Co. Plaintiffs also added additional allegations, including that the Company made material misrepresentations in its registration statements and joint proxy statement-prospectus related to the AOL-Historic TW Merger and in its registration statements pursuant to which debt securities were issued in April 2001 and April 2002, allegedly in violation of Section 11 and Section 12 of the Securities Act of 1933. On July 14, 2003, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the consolidated amended complaint. On May 5, 2004, the district court granted in part the defendants’ motion, dismissing all claims with respect to the registration statements pursuant to which debt securities were issued in April 2001 and April 2002 and certain other claims against other defendants, but otherwise allowing the remaining claims against the Company and certain other defendants to proceed. On August 11, 2004, the court granted MSBI’s motion to file a second amended complaint. On July 30, 2004, defendants filed a motion for summary judgment on the basis that plaintiffs could not establish loss causation for any of their claims, and thus plaintiffs did not have any recoverable damages. On April 8, 2005, MSBI moved for leave to file a third amended complaint to add certain new factual allegations and four additional individual defendants.
     In July 2005, the Company reached an agreement in principle with MSBI for the settlement of the consolidated securities actions. The settlement is reflected in a written agreement between the lead plaintiff and the Company. On September 30, 2005, the court issued an order granting preliminary approval of the settlement and certified the settlement class. The court issued an order dated April 6, 2006 granting final approval of the settlement, and the time to appeal that decision has expired. In connection with reaching the agreement in principle on the securities class action, the Company established a reserve of $3 billion during the second quarter of 2005 reflecting the MSBI settlement and other pending related shareholder and ERISA litigation. Pursuant to the MSBI settlement, in October 2005, Time Warner paid $2.4 billion into a settlement fund (the “MSBI Settlement Fund”) for the members of the class represented in the action, and Ernst & Young LLP paid $100 million. In connection with the settlement, the $150 million previously paid by Time Warner into a fund in connection with the settlement of the investigation by the DOJ was transferred to the MSBI Settlement Fund. In addition, the $300 million the Company previously paid in connection with the settlement of its SEC investigation will be distributed to investors through the MSBI settlement process pursuant to an order issued by the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia on July 11, 2006. On October 27, 2006, the court awarded to plaintiffs’ counsel fees in the amount of $147.5 million and reimbursement for expenses in the amount of $3.4 million, plus interest accrued on such amounts since October 7, 2005, the date the Company paid $2.4 billion into the MSBI Settlement Fund; these amounts are to be paid from the MSBI Settlement Fund. The administration of the MSBI settlement is ongoing. Settlements also have been reached in many of the additional related cases, including the ERISA and derivative actions, as described below.
Other Related Securities Litigation Matters
     During the Fall of 2002 and Winter of 2003, three putative class action lawsuits were filed alleging violations of ERISA in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on behalf of current and former participants in the Time Warner Savings Plan, the Time Warner Thrift Plan and/or the TWC Savings Plan (the “Plans”). Collectively, these lawsuits named as defendants the Company, certain current and former directors and officers of the Company and members of the Administrative Committees of the Plans. The lawsuits alleged that the Company and other defendants breached certain fiduciary duties to plan participants by, inter alia, continuing to offer Time Warner stock as an investment under the Plans, and by failing to disclose, among other things, that the Company was experiencing declining advertising revenues and that the Company was inappropriately inflating advertising revenues through various transactions. The complaints sought unspecified damages and unspecified equitable relief. The ERISA actions were consolidated as part of the In re AOL Time Warner Inc. Securities and “ERISA” Litigation described above. On July 3, 2003, plaintiffs filed a consolidated amended complaint naming additional defendants, including TWE, certain current and former officers, directors and employees of the Company and Fidelity Management Trust Company. On September 12, 2003, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the consolidated ERISA complaint. On March 9, 2005, the court granted in part and denied in part the Company’s motion to dismiss. The court dismissed two individual defendants and TWE for all purposes, dismissed other individuals with respect to claims plaintiffs had asserted involving the TWC Savings Plan, and dismissed all individuals who were named in a claim asserting that their stock sales had constituted a breach of fiduciary duty to the Plans. The parties reached an agreement to resolve this matter in 2006 and the court granted preliminary approval of the settlement in an opinion dated

May 1, 2006. A final approval hearing was held on July 19, 2006, and the court granted final approval of the settlement in an opinion dated September 27, 2006. On October 25, 2006, one of the objectors to this settlement filed a notice of appeal of this decision; pursuant to a settlement agreement between the parties in a related securities matter, that objector subsequently withdrew his notice of appeal, and the time to appeal has expired. The court has yet to rule on plaintiffs’ petition for attorneys’ fees and expenses.
     During the Summer and Fall of 2002, 11 shareholder derivative lawsuits were filed naming as defendants certain current and former directors and officers of the Company, as well as the Company as a nominal defendant. Three were filed in New York State Supreme Court for the County of New York, four were filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York and four were filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware for New Castle County. The complaints alleged that defendants breached their fiduciary duties by causing the Company to issue corporate statements that did not accurately represent that AOL had declining advertising revenues and by failing to conduct adequate due diligence in connection with the AOL-Historic TW Merger, that the AOL-Historic TW Merger was not generating the synergies anticipated at the time of the announcement of the merger, and that the Company inappropriately delayed writing down more than $50 billion of goodwill, thereby exposing the Company to potential liability for alleged violations of federal securities laws. The lawsuits further alleged that certain of the defendants improperly sold their personal holdings of Time Warner securities. The lawsuits requested that (i) all proceeds from defendants’ sales of Time Warner common stock, (ii) all expenses incurred by the Company as a result of the defense of the shareholder class actions discussed above and (iii) any improper salaries or payments be returned to the Company. The four lawsuits filed in the Court of Chancery for the State of Delaware for New Castle County were consolidated under the caption, In re AOL Time Warner Inc. Derivative Litigation. A consolidated complaint was filed on March 7, 2003 in that action, and on June 9, 2003, the Company filed a notice of motion to dismiss the consolidated complaint. On May 2, 2003, the three lawsuits filed in New York State Supreme Court for the County of New York were dismissed on forum non conveniens grounds, and plaintiffs’ time to appeal has expired. The four lawsuits pending in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York were centralized for coordinated or consolidated pre-trial proceedings with the securities and ERISA lawsuits described above under the caption In re AOL Time Warner Inc. Securities and “ERISA” Litigation. On October 6, 2004, plaintiffs filed an amended consolidated complaint in three of these four cases. On April 20, 2006, plaintiffs in the four lawsuits filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware for New Castle County filed a new complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. The parties to all of these actions subsequently reached an agreement to resolve all remaining matters in 2006, and the federal district court in New York granted preliminary approval of the settlement in an opinion dated May 10, 2006. A final approval hearing was held on June 28, 2006, and the court granted final approval of the settlement in an opinion dated September 6, 2006. The time to appeal that decision has expired. The court has yet to rule on plaintiffs’ petition for attorneys’ fees and expenses.
     During the Summer and Fall of 2002, several lawsuits brought by individual shareholders were filed in various federal jurisdictions, and in late 2005 and early 2006, numerous additional shareholders determined to “opt-out” of the settlement reached in the consolidated federal securities class action described above, and many have since filed federal lawsuits. The claims alleged in these actions are substantially identical to the claims alleged in the consolidated federal securities class action described above, and all of these cases have been transferred to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York for coordinated or consolidated pre-trial proceedings. In May 2006, amended complaints were filed in thirty-five of these cases. In June 2006, the Company filed a motion to dismiss and a motion for partial summary judgment in these thirty-five cases, which seek to dismiss some or all of the complaints and/or to preclude recovery of alleged damages incurred prior to July 2002 based on loss causation principles. The Court has scheduled oral argument on these motions for February 28, 2007. In March 2006, the parties reached an agreement to settle the claims brought in the case Stichting Pensioenfonds ABP v. AOL Time Warner, et al. In December 2006, the parties reached an agreement to settle the claims brought in the case DEKA Investment GMBH et al. v. AOL Time Warner Inc. et al. Also in December 2006, the parties reached an agreement to settle the claims brought in the case Norges Bank v. AOL Time Warner Inc. et al. In February 2007, the parties reached an agreement to settle the claims brought in the thirty-five cases referenced above. The aggregate amount for which the Company has settled these lawsuits as well as related lawsuits is described below. The Company intends to defend against the remaining lawsuits vigorously.
     On November 11, 2002, Staro Asset Management, LLC filed a putative class action complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on behalf of certain purchasers of Reliant 2.0% Zero-Premium Exchangeable Subordinated Notes for alleged violations of the federal securities laws. Plaintiff is a purchaser of subordinated notes, the price of which was purportedly tied to the market value of Time Warner stock. Plaintiff alleges that the Company made misstatements and/or omissions of material fact that artificially inflated the value of Time Warner stock and directly

affected the price of the notes. Plaintiff seeks compensatory damages and/or rescission. This lawsuit has been consolidated for coordinated pretrial proceedings under the caption In re AOL Time Warner Inc. Securities and “ERISA” Litigation described above. The Company intends to defend against this lawsuit vigorously.
     On April 14, 2003, Regents of the University of California et al. v. Parsons et al., was filed in California Superior Court, County of Los Angeles, naming as defendants the Company, certain current and former officers, directors and employees of the Company, Ernst & Young LLP, Citigroup Inc., Salomon Smith Barney Inc. and Morgan Stanley & Co. Plaintiffs allege that the Company made material misrepresentations in its registration statements related to the AOL-Historic TW Merger and stock option plans in violation of Sections 11 and 12 of the Securities Act of 1933. The complaint also alleges common law fraud and breach of fiduciary duties under California state law. Plaintiffs seek disgorgement of alleged insider trading proceeds and restitution for their stock losses. Three related cases have been filed in California Supreme Court and have been coordinated in the County of Los Angeles. On January 26, 2004, certain individuals filed motions to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction. On September 10, 2004, the Company filed a motion to dismiss plaintiffs’ complaints and certain individual defendants (who had not previously moved to dismiss plaintiffs’ complaints for lack of personal jurisdiction) filed a motion to dismiss plaintiffs’ complaints. On April 22, 2005, the court granted certain motions to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction and denied certain motions to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction. The court issued a series of rulings on threshold issues presented by the motions to dismiss on May 12, July 22 and August 2, 2005. These rulings granted in part and denied in part the relief sought by defendants, subject to plaintiffs’ right to make a prima facie evidentiary showing to support certain dismissed claims. In January 2006, the Los Angeles County Employees Retirement Agency, which had filed one of the three related cases described above, voluntarily dismissed its lawsuit; an order of dismissal was entered on January 17, 2006. Also in January 2006, two additional individual actions were filed in California Superior Court against the Company and, in one instance, Ernst & Young LLP and certain former officers, directors and executives of the Company. Both of these additional individual actions assert claims substantially identical to those asserted in the four actions already coordinated in California Superior Court, and have been consolidated with the other coordinated proceedings. In December 2006, the Company reached an agreement to settle the claims brought by the California State Teachers’ Retirement System and the Franklin Funds. In February 2007, the Company reached an agreement to settle the claims brought by the plaintiffs in the remaining related cases, including the Regents of the University of California and the California Public Employees’ Retirement System. The aggregate amount for which the Company has settled these as well as related lawsuits is described below.
     On July 18, 2003, Ohio Public Employees Retirement System et al. v. Parsons et al. was filed in Ohio, Court of Common Pleas, Franklin County, naming as defendants the Company, certain current and former officers, directors and employees of the Company, Citigroup Inc., Salomon Smith Barney Inc., Morgan Stanley & Co. and Ernst & Young LLP. Plaintiffs allege that the Company made material misrepresentations in its registration statements in violation of Sections 11 and 12 of the Securities Act of 1933. Plaintiffs also allege violations of Ohio law, breach of fiduciary duty and common law fraud. Plaintiffs seek disgorgement of alleged insider trading proceeds, restitution and unspecified compensatory damages. On October 29, 2003, the Company moved to stay the proceedings or, in the alternative, dismiss the complaint. Also on October 29, 2003, all named individual defendants moved to dismiss the complaint for lack of personal jurisdiction. On October 8, 2004, the court granted in part the Company’s motion to dismiss plaintiffs’ complaint; specifically, the court dismissed plaintiffs’ common law claims but otherwise allowed plaintiffs’ remaining statutory claims against the Company and certain other defendants to proceed. The Company answered the complaint on February 22, 2005. On November 17, 2005, the court granted the jurisdictional motions of twenty-five of the individual defendants, and dismissed them from the case. In February 2007, the parties reached an agreement to settle this lawsuit. The aggregate amount for which the Company has settled this as well as related lawsuits is described below.
     On July 18, 2003, West Virginia Investment Management Board v. Parsons et al. was filed in West Virginia, Circuit Court, Kanawha County, naming as defendants the Company, certain current and former officers, directors and employees of the Company, Citigroup Inc., Salomon Smith Barney Inc., Morgan Stanley & Co., and Ernst & Young LLP. Plaintiff alleges the Company made material misrepresentations in its registration statements in violation of Sections 11 and 12 of the Securities Act of 1933. Plaintiff also alleges violations of West Virginia law, breach of fiduciary duty and common law fraud. Plaintiff seeks disgorgement of alleged insider trading proceeds, restitution and unspecified compensatory damages. On May 27, 2004, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the complaint. Also on May 27, 2004, all named individual defendants moved to dismiss the complaint for lack of personal jurisdiction. In February 2007, the parties reached an

agreement to settle this lawsuit. The aggregate amount for which Time Warner has settled this as well as related lawsuits is described below.
     On January 28, 2004, McClure et al. v. AOL Time Warner Inc. et al. was filed in the District Court of Cass County, Texas (purportedly on behalf of several purchasers of Company stock) naming as defendants the Company and certain current and former officers, directors and employees of the Company. Plaintiffs allege that the Company made material misrepresentations in its registration statements in violation of Sections 11 and 12 of the Securities Act of 1933. Plaintiffs also allege breach of fiduciary duty and common law fraud. Plaintiffs seek unspecified compensatory damages. On May 8, 2004, the Company filed a general denial and a motion to dismiss for improper venue. Also on May 8, 2004, all named individual defendants moved to dismiss the complaint for lack of personal jurisdiction. In February 2007, the parties reached an agreement to settle this lawsuit. The aggregate amount for which the Company has settled this as well as related lawsuits is described below.
     On April 1, 2004, Alaska State Department of Revenue et al. v. America Online, Inc. et al. was filed in Superior Court in Juneau County, Alaska, naming as defendants the Company, certain current and former officers, directors and employees of the Company, AOL, Historic TW, Morgan Stanley & Co., Inc., and Ernst & Young LLP. Plaintiffs alleged that the Company made material misrepresentations in its registration statements in violation of Alaska law and common law fraud. The plaintiffs sought unspecified compensatory and punitive damages. In December 2006, the parties reached an agreement to settle this lawsuit. The aggregate amount for which the Company has settled this as well as related lawsuits is described below.
     On November 15, 2002, the California State Teachers’ Retirement System filed an amended consolidated complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California on behalf of a putative class of purchasers of stock in Homestore.com, Inc. (“Homestore”). Plaintiff alleged that Homestore engaged in a scheme to defraud its shareholders in violation of Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act. The Company and two former employees of its AOL division were named as defendants in the amended consolidated complaint because of their alleged participation in the scheme through certain advertising transactions entered into with Homestore. Motions to dismiss filed by the Company and the two former employees were granted on March 7, 2003, and a final judgment of dismissal was entered on March 8, 2004. On April 7, 2004, plaintiff filed a notice of appeal in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. The Ninth Circuit heard oral argument on this appeal on February 6, 2006 and issued an opinion on June 30, 2006 affirming the lower court’s decision and remanding the case to the district court for further proceedings. On September 28, 2006, plaintiff filed a motion for leave to amend the complaint, and on December 18, 2006, the court held a hearing and denied plaintiff’s motion. In addition, on October 20, 2006, the Company joined its co-defendants in filing a petition for certiorari with the Supreme Court of the United States, seeking reconsideration of the Ninth Circuit’s decision. In December 2006, the Company reached an agreement with plaintiff to settle its claims against the Company and its former employees. The aggregate amount for which the Company has agreed to settle this as well as related lawsuits is described below. The settlement agreement will be subject to preliminary and final approval by the district court. There can be no assurance that the settlement will receive either preliminary or final court approval.
     On April 30, 2004, a second amended complaint was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Nevada on behalf of a putative class of purchasers of stock in PurchasePro.com, Inc. (“PurchasePro”). Plaintiffs alleged that PurchasePro engaged in a scheme to defraud its shareholders in violation of Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act. The Company and four former officers and employees were added as defendants in the second amended complaint and were alleged to have participated in the scheme through certain advertising transactions entered into with PurchasePro. Three similar putative class actions had previously been filed against the Company, AOL and certain former officers and employees, and were consolidated with the Nevada action. On February 17, 2005, the judge in the consolidated action granted the Company’s motion to dismiss the second amended complaint with prejudice. The parties have agreed to settle this matter. The court granted preliminary approval of the proposed settlement in an order dated July 18, 2006 and granted final approval of the settlement in an order dated October 10, 2006. The administration of the settlement is ongoing. The aggregate amount for which the Company has settled this as well as related lawsuits is described below.
     During the fourth quarter of 2006, the Company established an additional reserve of $600 million related to its remaining securities litigation matters described above, bringing the reserve for unresolved claims to approximately $620 million at December 31, 2006. The prior reserve aggregating $3.0 billion established in the second quarter of 2005 had been substantially utilized as a result of the settlements resolving many of the other shareholder lawsuits that had been pending against the Company, including settlements entered into during the fourth quarter of 2006. During the first quarter of 2007,

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
the Company reached agreements to pay approximately $764 million to settle substantially all of these remaining claims. The Company recorded an incremental charge of approximately $152 million during the first quarter of 2007 reflecting these 2007 settlements, including approximately $8 million related to an expected attorneys’ fee award related to a previously settled matter. The Company believes the potential exposure in any securities litigation matters that remain pending at March 31, 2007 to be de minimis.
Other Matters
     Warner Bros. (South) Inc. (“WBS”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, is litigating numerous tax cases in Brazil. WBS currently is the theatrical distribution licensee for Warner Bros. Entertainment Nederlands (“Warner Bros.”) in Brazil and acts as a service provider to the Warner Bros. home video licensee. All of the ongoing tax litigation involves WBS’ distribution activities prior to January 2004, when WBS conducted both theatrical and home video distribution. Much of the tax litigation stems from WBS’ position that in distributing videos to rental retailers, it was conducting a distribution service, subject to a municipal service tax, and not the “industrialization” or sale of videos, subject to Brazilian federal and state VAT-like taxes. Both the federal tax authorities and the State of Sao Paulo, where WBS is based, have challenged this position. In some additional tax cases, WBS, often together with other film distributors, is challenging the imposition of taxes on royalties remitted outside of Brazil and the constitutionality of certain taxes. The Company intends to defend all of these various tax cases vigorously, but is unable to predict the outcome of these suits.
     On October 8, 2004, certain heirs of Jerome Siegel, one of the creators of the “Superman” character, filed suit against the Company, DC Comics and Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc. in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. Plaintiffs’ complaint seeks an accounting and demands up to one-half of the profits made on Superman since the alleged April 16, 1999 termination by plaintiffs of Siegel’s grants of one-half of the rights to the Superman character to DC Comics’ predecessor-in-interest. Plaintiffs have also asserted various Lanham Act and unfair competition claims, alleging “wasting” of the Superman property by DC Comics and failure to accord credit to Siegel. The Company answered the complaint and filed counterclaims on November 11, 2004, to which plaintiffs replied on January 7, 2005. On April 30, 2007, the Company filed motions for partial summary judgment on various issues, including the unavailability of accounting for pre-termination and foreign works. The Company intends to defend against this lawsuit vigorously, but is unable to predict its outcome.
     On October 22, 2004, the same Siegel heirs filed a second lawsuit against the Company, DC Comics, Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc., Warner Communications Inc. and Warner Bros. Television Production Inc. in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. Plaintiffs claim that Jerome Siegel was the sole creator of the character Superboy and, as such, DC Comics has had no right to create new Superboy works since the alleged October 17, 2004 termination by plaintiffs of Siegel’s grants of rights to the Superboy character to DC Comics’ predecessor-in-interest. This lawsuit seeks a declaration regarding the validity of the alleged termination and an injunction against future use of the Superboy character. Plaintiffs have also asserted Lanham Act and unfair competition claims alleging false statements by DC Comics regarding the creation of the Superboy character. The Company answered the complaint and filed counterclaims on December 21, 2004, to which plaintiffs replied on January 7, 2005. The case was consolidated for discovery purposes with the “Superman” action described immediately above. The parties filed cross-motions for summary judgment or partial summary judgment on February 15, 2006. In its ruling dated March 23, 2006, the court denied the Company’s motion for summary judgment, granted plaintiffs’ motion for partial summary judgment on termination and held that further proceedings are necessary to determine whether the Company’s Smallville television series may infringe on plaintiffs’ rights to the Superboy character. On January 12, 2007, the Company filed a motion for reconsideration of the court’s decision granting plaintiffs’ motion for partial summary judgment on termination. On April 30, 2007, the Company filed a motion for summary judgment on non-infringement of Smallville. Both motions are pending. The Company intends to defend against this lawsuit vigorously, but is unable to predict its outcome.
     On May 24, 1999, two former AOL Community Leader volunteers filed Hallissey et al. v. America Online, Inc. in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. This lawsuit was brought as a collective action under the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”) and as a class action under New York state law against AOL and AOL Community, Inc. The plaintiffs allege that, in serving as Community Leader volunteers, they were acting as employees rather than volunteers for purposes of the FLSA and New York state law and are entitled to minimum wages. On December 8, 2000, defendants filed a motion to dismiss on the ground that the plaintiffs were volunteers and not employees covered by the FLSA. On March 10, 2006, the court denied defendants’ motion to dismiss. On May 11, 2006, plaintiffs filed a motion under the Fair Labor Standards Act asking the court to notify former community leaders nationwide about the lawsuit and allow those

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
community leaders the opportunity to join the lawsuit. A related case was filed by several of the Hallissey plaintiffs in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York alleging violations of the retaliation provisions of the FLSA. This case was stayed pending the outcome of the Hallissey motion to dismiss and has not yet been activated. Three related class actions have been filed in state courts in New Jersey, California and Ohio, alleging violations of the FLSA and/or the respective state laws. The New Jersey and Ohio cases were removed to federal court and subsequently transferred to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York for consolidated pretrial proceedings with Hallissey. The California action was remanded to California state court, and on January 6, 2004 the court denied plaintiffs’ motion for class certification. Plaintiffs appealed the trial court’s denial of their motion for class certification to the California Court of Appeals. On May 26, 2005, a three-justice panel of the California Court of Appeals unanimously affirmed the trial court’s order denying class certification. The plaintiffs’ petition for review in the California Supreme Court was denied. The Company has settled the remaining individual claims in the California action. The Company intends to defend against the remaining lawsuits vigorously, but is unable to predict the outcome of these suits.
     On January 17, 2002, Community Leader volunteers filed a class action lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York against the Company, AOL and AOL Community, Inc. under ERISA. Plaintiffs allege that they are entitled to pension and/or welfare benefits and/or other employee benefits subject to ERISA. In March 2003, plaintiffs filed and served a second amended complaint, adding as defendants the Company’s Administrative Committee and the AOL Administrative Committee. On May 19, 2003, the Company, AOL and AOL Community, Inc. filed a motion to dismiss and the Administrative Committees filed a motion for judgment on the pleadings. Both of these motions are pending. The Company intends to defend against these lawsuits vigorously, but is unable to predict the outcome of these suits.
     On August 1, 2005, Thomas Dreiling filed a derivative suit in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington against AOL and Infospace Inc. as nominal defendant. The complaint, brought in the name of Infospace by one if its shareholders, asserts violations of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Plaintiff alleges that certain AOL executives and the founder of Infospace, Naveen Jain, entered into an agreement to manipulate Infospace’s stock price through the exercise of warrants that AOL had received in connection with a commercial agreement with Infospace. Because of this alleged agreement, plaintiff asserts that AOL and Mr. Jain constituted a “group” that held more than 10% of Infospace’s stock and, as a result, AOL violated the short-swing trading prohibition of Section 16(b) in connection with sales of shares received from the exercise of those warrants. The complaint seeks disgorgement of profits, interest and attorneys fees. On September 26, 2005, AOL filed a motion to dismiss the complaint for failure to state a claim, which was denied by the Court on December 5, 2005. The case is scheduled for trial starting in October of 2007. The Company intends to defend against this lawsuit vigorously, but is unable to predict the outcome of this suit or reasonably estimate the range of possible loss.
     On September 1, 2006, Ronald A. Katz Technology Licensing, L.P. (“Katz”) filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware alleging that TWC and AOL, among other defendants, infringe a number of patents purportedly relating to customer call center operations, voicemail and/or video-on-demand services. The plaintiff is seeking unspecified monetary damages as well as injunctive relief. On March 20, 2007, this case, together with other lawsuits filed by Katz, was made subject to a Multidistrict Litigation Order transferring the case for pretrial proceedings to the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. The Company intends to defend against the claim vigorously, but is unable to predict the outcome of the suit or reasonably estimate a range of possible loss.
     On June 16, 1998, plaintiffs in Andrew Parker and Eric DeBrauwere, et al. v. Time Warner Entertainment Company, L.P. and Time Warner Cable filed a purported nation-wide class action in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York claiming that TWE sold its subscribers’ personally identifiable information and failed to inform subscribers of 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 Court’s decision denying class certification as a matter of law and remanded the case for further proceedings on class certification and other matters. On May 4, 2004, plaintiffs filed a motion for class certification, which the Company opposed. On October 25, 2005, the court granted preliminary approval of a class settlement arrangement on terms that were not material to the Company. A final settlement approval hearing was held on May 19, 2006, and on January 26, 2007, the court denied approval of the settlement. The Company intends to defend

against this lawsuit vigorously, but is unable to predict the outcome of this suit or reasonably estimate a range of possible loss.
     On October 20, 2005, a group of syndicate participants, including BNZ Investments Limited, filed three related actions in the High Court of New Zealand, Auckland Registry, against New Line Cinema Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and its subsidiary, New Line Productions Inc. (collectively, “New Line”). The complaints allege breach of contract, breach of duties of good faith and fair dealing, and other common law and statutory claims under California and New Zealand law. Plaintiffs contend, among other things, they have not received proceeds from certain financing transactions they entered into with New Line relating to three motion pictures: The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring; The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers; and The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. The parties to these actions have agreed that all claims will be heard before a single arbitrator, who has been selected, before the International Court for Arbitration, and the proceedings before the High Court of New Zealand have been dismissed without prejudice. The arbitration is scheduled to begin in September 2008. The Company intends to defend against these proceedings vigorously, but is unable to predict the outcome of the proceedings.
     As previously disclosed, in 2005, Time Inc. received a grand jury subpoena from the United States Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York in connection with an investigation of certain magazine circulation-related practices. Time Inc. responded to the subpoena and is cooperating with the investigation.
     On December 22, 2006, AOL Europe Services SARL (“AOL Luxembourg”), a wholly owned subsidiary of AOL organized under the laws of Luxembourg, received an assessment from the French tax authorities for €34 million (approximately $44 million) for value added tax (“VAT”) due in France, including interest, related to subscription revenues from French subscribers earned from July 1, 2003 through December 31, 2003. The French tax authorities claim that these revenues are subject to French VAT, instead of Luxembourg VAT, as originally reported and paid by AOL. The Company intends to defend against this assessment vigorously, but is unable to predict the outcome of the proceedings. AOL Luxembourg also could receive similar assessments from the French tax authorities in the future for subscription revenues earned in 2004 through 2006, which assessment could total up to €72 million (approximately $94 million), including interest.
     From time to time, the Company receives notices from third parties claiming that it infringes their intellectual property rights. Claims of intellectual property infringement could require Time Warner to enter into royalty or licensing agreements on unfavorable terms, incur substantial monetary liability or be enjoined preliminarily or permanently from further use of the intellectual property in question. In addition, certain agreements entered into by the Company may require the Company to indemnify the other party for certain third-party intellectual property infringement claims, which could increase the Company’s damages and its costs of defending against such claims. Even if the claims are without merit, defending against the claims can be time-consuming and costly.
     The costs and other effects of pending or future litigation, governmental investigations, legal and administrative cases and proceedings (whether civil or criminal), settlements, judgments and investigations, claims and changes in those matters (including those matters described above), and developments or assertions by or against the Company relating to intellectual property rights and intellectual property licenses, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and operating results.

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

Item 1. Legal Proceedings
Securities Matters
Other Related Securities Litigation Matters
     Reference is made to the shareholder derivative, ERISA and individual securities matters described on pages 52-56 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 (the “2006 Form 10-K”). During the first quarter of 2007, the Company reached agreements to pay approximately $764 million to settle substantially all of these remaining claims. The Company recorded an incremental charge of approximately $152 million during the first quarter of 2007 reflecting these 2007 settlements, including approximately $8 million related to an expected attorneys’ fee award related to a previously settled matter. The Company believes the potential exposure in any securities litigation matters that remain pending at March 31, 2007 to be de minimis.
     Reference is made to the lawsuits described on page 53 of the 2006 Form 10-K filed by shareholders who determined to “opt-out” of the settlement reached in the consolidated federal securities class action. With respect to the thirty-five cases in which amended complaints were filed in May 2006, the parties reached an agreement in February 2007 to settle the claims brought in these cases. The aggregate amount for which the Company has settled these as well as related lawsuits is described above.
     Reference is made to the lawsuit filed by the Ohio Public Employees Retirement System et al. described on page 54 of the 2006 Form 10-K. In February 2007, the parties reached an agreement to settle this lawsuit. The aggregate amount for which the Company has settled this as well as related lawsuits is described above.
     Reference is made to the lawsuit filed by the West Virginia Investment Management Board described on page 55 of the 2006 Form 10-K. In February 2007, the parties reached an agreement to settle this lawsuit. The aggregate amount for which the Company has settled this as well as related lawsuits is described above.
Other Matters
     Reference is made to the lawsuit filed by certain heirs of Jerome Siegel relating to the Superman character described on page 57 of the 2006 Form 10-K. On April 30, 2007, the Company filed motions for partial summary judgment on various issues, including the unavailability of accounting for pre-termination and foreign works.
     Reference is made to the lawsuit filed by certain heirs of Jerome Siegel relating to the Superboy character described on page 57 of the 2006 Form 10-K. On April 30, 2007, the Company filed a motion for summary judgment on non-infringement of the Company’s Smallville television series.
     Reference is made to the lawsuit filed by Ronald A. Katz Technology Licensing, L.P. (“Katz”) described on page 59 of the 2006 Form 10-K. On March 20, 2007, this case, together with other lawsuits filed by Katz, was made subject to a Multidistrict Litigation Order transferring the case for pretrial proceedings to the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California.
     Reference is made to the three related actions filed by a group of syndicate participants, including BNZ Investments Limited, described on page 59 of the 2006 Form 10-K. The arbitration of the claims brought in these actions is scheduled to begin in September 2008.

(1)   The total number of shares purchased includes (a) shares of Common Stock purchased by the Company under the publicly announced stock repurchase program described in footnote (3) below, and (b) shares of Common Stock that are tendered by employees to the Company to satisfy the employees’ tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting of awards of restricted stock, which are repurchased by the Company based on their fair market value on the vesting date. The number of shares of Common Stock purchased by the Company in connection with the vesting of such awards totaled 0 shares, 506,628 shares and 10,952 shares, respectively, for the months of January, February and March.
 
(2)   The calculation of the average price paid per share does not give effect to any fees, commissions or other costs associated with the repurchase of such shares.
 
(3)   On August 3, 2005, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had authorized a Common Stock repurchase program that allows the Company to repurchase, from time to time, up to $5 billion of Common Stock over a two-year period. On November 2, 2005, the Company announced the increase of the amount that may be repurchased under the Company’s publicly announced stock repurchase program to an aggregate of up to $12.5 billion of Common Stock. In addition, on February 17, 2006, the Company announced a further increase of the amount of its stock repurchase program and the extension of the program’s ending date. Under the extended program, the Company has authority to repurchase up to an aggregate of $20 billion of Common Stock during the period from July 29, 2005 through December 31, 2007. Purchases under the stock repurchase program may be made from time to time on the open market and in privately negotiated transactions. The size and timing of these purchases will be based on a number of factors including price and business and market conditions. In the past, the Company has repurchased shares of Common Stock pursuant to trading programs under Rule 10b5-1 promulgated under the Exchange Act, and it may repurchase shares of Common Stock under such trading programs in the future.
