OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
(Continued)
OVERVIEW
Time Warner is a leading media and entertainment company, whose major businesses encompass an
array of the most respected and successful media brands. Among the Companys brands are HBO, CNN,
AOL, People, Sports Illustrated, Time and Time Warner Cable. The Company produces and distributes
films through Warner Bros. and New Line Cinema, including I Am Legend, 10,000 B.C. and Harry Potter
and the Order of the Phoenix as well as television series, including Two and a Half Men, Without a
Trace, Cold Case, The Closer and ER. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, the Company
generated revenues of $11.417 billion (up 2% from $11.184 billion in 2007), Operating Income of
$1.947 billion (down 23% from $2.540 billion in 2007), Net Income of $771 million (down 36% from
$1.203 billion in 2007) and Cash Provided by Operations of $2.796 billion (up 100% from $1.399
billion in 2007). As discussed more fully in Business Segment Results, the three months ended
March 31, 2007 included the impact of an approximate $670 million gain on the sale of AOLs German
access business.
Time Warner Businesses
Time Warner classifies its operations into five reportable segments: AOL, Cable, Filmed
Entertainment, Networks and Publishing.
Time Warner evaluates the performance and operational strength of its business segments 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). Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization eliminates the uneven effects
across all business segments of considerable amounts of noncash depreciation of tangible assets and
amortization of certain intangible assets, primarily recognized in business combinations. Operating
Income before Depreciation and Amortization should be considered in addition to Operating Income,
as well as other measures of financial performance. Accordingly, the discussion of the results of
operations for each of Time Warners business segments includes both Operating Income before
Depreciation and Amortization and Operating Income. For additional information regarding Time
Warners business segments, refer to Note 10, Segment Information.
AOL. AOL LLC (together with its subsidiaries, AOL) operates a Global Web Services business
that provides online advertising services on both the AOL Network and third-party Internet sites,
referred to as the Third Party Network. AOLs Global Web Services business also develops and
operates the AOL Network, a leading network of web brands and free client software and services for
Internet consumers. In addition, through its Access Services business, AOL operates one of the
largest Internet access subscription services in the United States. As of March 31, 2008, AOL had
8.7 million AOL brand Internet access subscribers in the U.S., which does not include registrations
for the free AOL service. For the three months ended March 31, 2008, AOL generated revenues of
$1.128 billion (10% of the Companys overall revenues), $405 million in Operating Income before
Depreciation and Amortization and $284 million in Operating Income.
AOLs strategy is to continue 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 recent as well as anticipated growth in online advertising by providing
advertising services on both the AOL Network and the Third Party Network. AOLs focus is on growing
its Global Web Services business, while managing costs in this business as well as managing its
declining subscriber base and costs in its Access Services business. In addition, during the first
quarter of 2008, AOL entered into an agreement to acquire Bebo, Inc. (Bebo), a leading global
social media network, the acquisition of which is expected to close in the second quarter of 2008.
On February 6, 2008, the Company announced that it had begun separating the AOL Access and Global
Web Services businesses, which should provide them with greater operational focus and increase the
strategic options available for each of these businesses. The Company anticipates that key
decisions regarding the separation will be made during the first half of 2008.
Within its Global Web Services business, AOL formed a business group called Platform-A in
2007, which includes AOLs business of selling advertising on the AOL Network and the Third Party
Network and licensing advertising serving technology to third-party websites. Platform-A sells
advertising that uses optimization and targeting technologies to deliver more effective advertising
and to reach specific audiences across the AOL Network and the Third Party Network. Advertising
services on the Third Party Network are primarily provided by Advertising.com, Inc.
(Advertising.com), TACODA Inc. and Quigo Technologies, Inc., each of which is a wholly owned
subsidiary of AOL. In addition, during the
2

OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
(Continued)
first quarter of 2008, AOL acquired U.K.-based
Perfiliate Limited (buy.at), which provides performance-based e-commerce marketing services to
advertisers.
During 2007 and the first quarter of 2008, Advertising revenues on the AOL Network were
negatively impacted by certain factors and trends, including declines in the price of advertising
inventory, shifts in the mix of sold inventory to lower-priced inventory and the increasing usage
by online advertisers of third-party advertising networks. Additionally, during the first quarter
of 2008, AOLs Advertising revenues were negatively impacted by the challenges of integrating
recently acquired businesses under Platform-A, including certain sales execution issues. The
increasing usage of third-party advertising networks has had a positive impact on AOLs Third Party
Network Advertising revenues. However, such revenues have historically had higher traffic
acquisition costs (TAC). Due to the differing cost structures associated with the AOL Network and
Third Party Network components of the Global Web Services business, a period over period increase
or decrease in aggregate Advertising revenues will not necessarily translate into a similar
increase or decrease in Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization attributable to AOLs
advertising activities.
The Company anticipates a significant decline in revenues from a major customer of
Advertising.com during 2008 as a result of the customers acquisition of a business believed to
perform online advertising services that are similar to those provided by Advertising.com. For the
three months ended March 31, 2008, revenues from this relationship decreased to $17 million from
$56 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. For the full year 2007, AOL earned
Advertising revenues from this relationship of $215 million.
AOLs Publishing business group, a component of the Global Web Services business, develops and
operates the products and programming functions associated with the AOL Network. The AOL Network
consists of a variety of websites, related applications and services, including those accessed via
the AOL and low-cost Internet access services. Specifically, the AOL Network includes owned and
operated websites, applications and services such as AOL.com, international versions of the AOL
portal, e-mail, AIM, MapQuest, Moviefone, ICQ and Truveo (a video search engine). The AOL Network
also includes TMZ.com, a joint venture with Telepictures Productions, Inc. (a subsidiary of Warner
Bros. Entertainment Inc.), as well as other co-branded websites owned by third parties for which
certain criteria have been met, including that the Internet traffic has been assigned to AOL.
Paid-search advertising activities on the AOL Network are conducted primarily through AOLs
strategic relationship with Google Inc. (Google). In connection with the expansion of this
strategic relationship in April 2006, Google acquired a 5% interest in AOL, and, as a result, 95%
of the equity interests in AOL are indirectly held by the Company and 5% are indirectly held by
Google. As part of the April 2006 transaction, Google received certain registration rights relating
to its equity interest in AOL. Beginning on July 1, 2008, Google will have the right to require AOL
to register Googles 5% equity interest for sale in an initial public offering. If Google exercises
this right, Time Warner will have the right to purchase Googles equity interest for cash or shares
of Time Warner common stock based on the appraised fair market value of the equity interest in lieu
of conducting an initial public offering. The Company cannot predict whether Google will request
the Company to register its 5% equity interest in AOL or, if requested, whether the Company would
exercise its option to purchase Googles interest at its then appraised value.
Historically, AOLs primary product offering has been an online subscription service that
includes dial-up Internet access. AOL continued to experience significant declines in the first
quarter of 2008 in the number of its U.S. subscribers and related revenues, due primarily to AOLs
decisions to focus on its advertising business and offer most of its services (other than Internet
access) for free to support the advertising business, AOLs significant reduction of subscriber
acquisition and retention efforts, and the industry-wide decline of the dial-up ISP business and
growth in the broadband Internet access business. The decline in subscribers has had an adverse
impact on AOLs Subscription revenues. However, dial-up network costs have also decreased and are
anticipated to continue to decrease as subscribers decline. AOLs Advertising revenues associated
with the AOL Network, in large part, are generated from the activity of current and former AOL
subscribers. Therefore, the decline in subscribers also could have an adverse impact on AOLs
Advertising revenues generated on the AOL Network to the extent that subscribers canceling their
subscriptions do not maintain their relationship with and usage of the AOL Network.
Cable. Time Warners cable business, Time Warner Cable Inc. and its subsidiaries (TWC), is
the second-largest cable operator in the U.S., with technologically advanced, well-clustered
systems located mainly in five geographic areas New York State (including New York City), the
Carolinas, Ohio, southern California (including Los Angeles) and
3

OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
(Continued)
Texas. As of March 31, 2008, TWC
served approximately 14.7 million customers who subscribed to one or more of its video, high-speed
data and voice services, representing approximately 33.0 million revenue generating units. For the
three
months ended March 31, 2008, TWC generated revenues of $4.160 billion (36% of the Companys
overall revenues), $1.402 billion in Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization and $636
million in Operating Income.
TWC principally offers three services video, high-speed data and voice over its
broadband cable systems. TWC markets its services separately and in bundled packages of multiple
services and features. As of March 31, 2008, 50% of TWCs customers subscribed to two or more of
its primary services, including 18% of its customers who subscribed to all three primary services.
Historically, TWC has focused primarily on residential customers, while also selling video,
high-speed data and commercial networking and transport services to commercial customers. Recently,
TWC has begun selling voice services to small- and medium-sized businesses as part of an increased
emphasis on its commercial business. In addition, TWC earns revenues by selling advertising time to
national, regional and local businesses.
Video is TWCs largest service in terms of revenues generated and, as of March 31, 2008, TWC
had approximately 13.3 million basic video subscribers. Although providing video services is a
competitive and highly penetrated business, TWC expects to continue to increase video revenues
through the offering of advanced digital video services, as well as through price increases and
digital video subscriber growth. As of March 31, 2008, TWC had approximately 8.3 million digital
video subscribers, which represented approximately 62% of its basic video subscribers. TWCs
digital video subscribers provide a broad base of potential customers for additional services.
Video programming costs represent a major component of TWCs expenses and are expected to continue
to increase, reflecting contractual rate increases, subscriber growth and the expansion of service
offerings. TWC expects that its video service margins will continue to decline over the next few
years as increases in programming costs outpace growth in video revenues.
As of March 31, 2008, TWC had approximately 7.9 million residential high-speed data
subscribers. TWC expects continued strong growth in residential high-speed data subscribers and
revenues during 2008; however, the rate of growth of both subscribers and revenues is expected to
continue to slow over time as high-speed data services become increasingly well-penetrated. TWC
also offers commercial high-speed data services and had 280,000 commercial high-speed data
subscribers as of March 31, 2008.
Approximately 3.2 million residential subscribers received Digital Phone service, TWCs
IP-based telephony voice service, as of March 31, 2008. TWC expects strong increases in Digital
Phone subscribers and revenues for the foreseeable future. TWC also rolled out Business Class
Phone, a commercial Digital Phone service, to small- and medium-sized businesses during 2007 in the
majority of its systems and expects to complete the roll-out in the remainder of its systems during
2008. As of March 31, 2008, TWC had 10,000 commercial Digital Phone subscribers.
Some of TWCs principal competitors, direct broadcast satellite operators and incumbent local
telephone companies in particular, either offer or are making significant capital investments that
will allow them to offer services that provide features and functions comparable to the video,
high-speed data and/or voice services offered by TWC. These services are also offered in bundles
similar to TWCs and, in certain cases, such offerings include wireless service. The availability
of these bundled service offerings has intensified competition, and TWC expects that competition
will continue to intensify in the future as these offerings become more prevalent. TWC plans to
continue to enhance its services with innovative offerings, which TWC believes will distinguish its
services from those of its competitors.
The Company is in discussions with TWCs management and its board of directors regarding the
Companys ownership of TWC. The Company anticipates that it will reach a decision regarding its
ownership level in TWC during the first half of 2008.
Filmed Entertainment. Time Warners Filmed Entertainment businesses, Warner Bros.
Entertainment Group (Warner Bros.) and New Line Cinema Corporation (New Line), generated
revenues of $2.840 billion (24% of the Companys overall revenues), $280 million in Operating
Income before Depreciation and Amortization and $183 million in Operating Income for the three
months ended March 31, 2008.
One of the worlds leading studios, Warner Bros. has diversified sources of revenues within
its film and television businesses, including an extensive film library and a global distribution
infrastructure. This diversification has helped Warner Bros. deliver consistent long-term
performance. New Line is the worlds oldest independent film company. Its

(Continued)
primary source of
revenues is the creation and distribution of theatrical motion pictures. In an effort to increase
operational efficiencies and maximize performance within the Filmed Entertainment segment, on
February 28, 2008, the Company announced the operational reorganization of the New Line Cinema
business, under which New Line will be operated as a
unit of Warner Bros. while maintaining separate development, production and other operations.
During the first quarter of 2008, the Company incurred restructuring charges related to planned
involuntary employee terminations in connection with the reorganization, and the Company expects to
incur additional restructuring charges during the remainder of 2008.
Warner Bros. continues to be an industry leader in the television business. For the 2007-2008
broadcast season, Warner Bros. is producing more than 20 primetime series, with at least one series
airing on each of the five broadcast networks (including Two and a Half Men, Without a Trace, Cold
Case, ER and Smallville), as well as original series for cable networks (including The Closer and
Nip/Tuck).
In February 2008, the Writers Guild of America (East and West) (the WGA) reached an
agreement with the film and television studios, ending an industry-wide work stoppage that began on
November 5, 2007. The strike caused cancellations and delays in the production of Warner Bros.
television programs and feature films and hampered the development of new television series.
Although the Company expects a short-term reduction in operating results attributable to these
cancellations and delays, it does not anticipate that the strike will
have a significant long-term impact.
The sale of DVDs has been one of the largest drivers of the segments profit over the last
several years, and Warner Bros. extensive library of theatrical and television titles positions it
to continue to benefit from sales of home video product to consumers. However, the industry and the
Company have experienced a leveling of DVD sales due to several factors, including increasing
competition for consumer discretionary spending, piracy, the maturation of the standard definition
DVD format and the fragmentation of consumer leisure time. In addition, the high-definition format
war between the HD DVD and Blu-ray formats has slowed consumer adoption of those technologies. In
January 2008, Warner Bros. announced that, starting in June 2008, it will release its content
exclusively in the Blu-ray format, and the home video industry has settled on the Blu-ray format as
the single high-definition technology. The shift to a single format may lead to increased consumer
purchases of high-definition players and DVDs.
Piracy, including physical piracy as well as illegal online file-sharing, continues to be a
significant issue for the filmed entertainment industry. Due to technological advances, piracy has
expanded from music to movies and television programming. The Company has taken a variety of
actions to combat piracy over the last several years, including the launch of new services for
consumers at competitive price points, aggressive online and customs enforcement, compressed
release windows and educational campaigns, and will continue to do so, both individually and
together with cross-industry groups, trade associations and strategic partners.
Networks. Time Warners Networks segment comprises Turner Broadcasting System, Inc.
(Turner) and Home Box Office, Inc. (HBO). For the three months ended March 31, 2008, the
Networks segment generated revenues of $2.659 billion (21% of the Companys overall revenues), $958
million in Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization and $874 million in Operating
Income.
The Turner networks including such recognized brands as TNT, TBS, CNN, Cartoon Network,
truTV and Headline News are among the leaders in advertising-supported cable TV networks. For
six consecutive years, more primetime households have watched advertising-supported cable TV
networks than the national broadcast networks. For the three months ended March 31, 2008, 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 primetime delivery ranked second for Adults
25-54 and third for Adults 18-49. TBS ranked first among advertising-supported cable networks in
primetime delivery of its key demographic, Adults 18-34.
The Turner networks generate revenues principally from the sale of advertising and from
receipt of monthly subscriber fees paid by cable system operators, satellite distribution services
and other distributors. Key contributors to Turners success are its continued investments in
high-quality programming focused on sports, network movie premieres, original and syndicated
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

(Continued)
as the nations most widely distributed premium pay television service. HBO
generates revenues principally from monthly subscriber fees from cable system operators, satellite
distribution services and other distributors. An additional source of revenues is the sale of its
original programming, including The Sopranos, Sex and the City, Rome and Entourage.
Publishing. Time Warners Publishing segment consists principally of magazine publishing and
related websites as well as a number of direct-marketing and direct-selling businesses. The segment
generated revenues of $1.045 billion (9% of the Companys overall revenues), $145 million in
Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization and $93 million in Operating Income for the
three months ended March 31, 2008.
As of March 31, 2008, Time Inc. published over 120 magazines worldwide, including People,
Sports Illustrated, InStyle, Southern Living, Real Simple, Time, Cooking Light, Entertainment
Weekly and Whats on TV. Time Inc. generates revenues primarily from advertising (including
advertising on digital properties), magazine subscriptions and newsstand sales. The Company owns
IPC Media (IPC), one of the largest consumer magazine companies in the U.K., and the magazine
subscription marketer, Synapse Group, Inc. The Companys Publishing segment has
experienced a decline in print advertising sales due to the uncertain economy and the continuing
shift of advertising expenditures to digital media. As a result, Time Inc. continues to invest in
developing digital content, including the launch of the MyHomeIdeas.com network, the expansion of
Sports Illustrateds, Peoples and
InStyles digital properties as well as the expansion of digital
properties owned by IPC and the acquisition of various websites to support Time Inc.s digital
initiatives. For the three months ended March 31, 2008, online Advertising revenues were 10% of
Time Inc.s Advertising revenues. Time Inc.s direct-selling division, Southern Living At Home,
sells home decor products through independent consultants at parties hosted in peoples homes
throughout the U.S.
Recent Developments
Bebo Acquisition
On March 13, 2008, the Company, through its AOL segment, announced that AOL had entered into
an agreement to acquire Bebo, a leading global social media network, for $850 million in cash. The
transaction, which is subject to customary closing conditions, is expected to close in the second
quarter of 2008 (Note 2).
Buy.at Acquisition
On February 5, 2008, the Company, through its AOL segment, completed the purchase of buy.at,
which provides performance-based e-commerce marketing services to advertisers, for $124 million in
cash, net of cash acquired. The buy.at acquisition did not significantly impact the Companys
consolidated financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2008 (Note 2).
Common Stock Repurchase Program
On July 26, 2007, Time Warners Board of Directors authorized a common stock repurchase
program that allows the Company to purchase up to an aggregate of $5 billion of common stock.
Purchases under this 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 are based on a number
of factors, including price and business and market conditions. From the programs inception
through April 29, 2008, the Company repurchased approximately 154 million shares of common stock
for approximately $2.8 billion, which included approximately 19 million shares of common stock
purchased for approximately $299 million in the first quarter of 2008, pursuant to trading programs
under Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act (Note 6).

For the three months ended March 31, 2007, income of $57 million was attributed to minority
interests, which primarily reflects the respective minority owners shares of the gain on the sale
of AOLs German access business and on the TKCCP Gain.
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 the taxability or deductibility of the items and foreign tax on certain gains. The
Companys tax provision may also include certain other items affecting comparability. For the three
months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, these items included approximately $1 million and $3 million,
respectively, of tax benefits related primarily to the realization of tax attribute carryforwards.

The increase in Subscription revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2008 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 primarily driven by the continued growth of digital
video services, video price increases and growth in high-speed data and Digital Phone subscribers.
The increase at the Networks segment was due primarily to higher subscription rates and
acquisitions at both Turner and HBO and, to a lesser extent, an increase in the number of
subscribers at Turner. The decline in Subscription revenues at the AOL segment resulted primarily
from a decrease in the number of AOL brand domestic subscribers and an approximate $90 million
decrease related to the sale of AOLs German access business in the first quarter of 2007.
The increase in Advertising revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was primarily
due to growth at the Networks segment, which was primarily driven by Turners domestic
entertainment and news networks, mainly due to an increase in advertising units sold, audience
growth and higher CPMs (advertising rates per thousand viewers).
The increase in Content revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was primarily
related to growth at the Filmed Entertainment segment, primarily driven by an increase in
theatrical product revenues.
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, 2008 and 2007, costs of revenues
totaled $6.663 billion and
8

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION (Continued)
$6.496 billion, respectively, and, as a percentage of revenues, were 58%
for both periods. The segment variations are
discussed in detail in Business Segment Results.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. For the three months ended March 31, 2008 and
2007, selling, general and administrative expenses increased 3% to $2.478 billion in 2008 from
$2.409 billion in 2007, primarily related to increases at the Cable, Filmed Entertainment and
Networks segments, partially offset by declines at the AOL and Publishing segments. The segment
variations are discussed in detail in Business Segment Results.
Included in costs of revenues and selling, general and administrative expenses is depreciation
expense, which increased to $948 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 from $901
million for the three months ended March 31, 2007, primarily related to an increase at the Cable
segment, partially offset by a decline at the AOL segment. The increase at the Cable segment was
primarily due to purchases of customer premise equipment, scalable infrastructure and line
extensions (each of which is primarily driven by customer demand) occurring during or subsequent to
the first quarter of 2007. The decline at the AOL segment was primarily due to a decline in network
assets due to subscriber declines.
Amortization Expense. Amortization expense increased 3% to $183 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2008 from $177 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007, primarily related
to an increase at the AOL segment, partially offset by a decline at the Cable segment. The increase
at the AOL segment was due to the amortization of finite-lived intangible assets acquired in AOLs
recent business acquisitions. The decrease at the Cable segment was primarily driven by the absence
of amortization expense associated with customer relationships recorded in connection with the 2003
restructuring of Time Warner Entertainment Company, L.P. (TWE), a subsidiary of TWC, which were
fully amortized at the end of the first quarter of 2007.
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
$4 million and $171 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. In
addition, the Company recognized related insurance recoveries of $8 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2007.
Merger-related, Restructuring and Shutdown Costs The Company incurred restructuring costs for
the three months ended March 31, 2008 of $142 million, primarily related to various employee
terminations and other exit activities, including $9 million at the AOL segment, $116 million at
the Filmed Entertainment segment, $10 million at the Publishing segment and $7 million at the
Corporate segment.
The Company incurred restructuring costs for the three months ended March 31, 2007 of $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, during the three months ended March 31, 2007, the Cable segment also expensed
$4 million of non-capitalizable merger-related and restructuring costs associated with the 2006
transactions with Adelphia Communications Corporation and Comcast Corporation (the
Adelphia/Comcast Transactions) (Note 9).
Operating Income. Operating Income decreased to $1.947 billion for the three months ended
March 31, 2008 from $2.540 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2007. Excluding the items
previously noted under Significant Transactions and Other Items Affecting Comparability totaling
$4 million of expense and $506 million of income, net, for the three months ended March 31, 2008
and 2007, respectively, Operating Income decreased $83 million,
primarily reflecting declines at
the AOL and Filmed Entertainment segments, partially offset by
increases at the Cable, Publishing and Networks segments. The
segment variations are discussed under Business Segment Results.
Interest Expense, Net. Interest expense, net, decreased to $546 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2008 from $551 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007, primarily due to
lower average interest rates on borrowings,
partially offset by a higher average outstanding balance of borrowings.

The changes in investment gains (losses), net are discussed under Significant Transactions
and Other Items Affecting Comparability. Excluding the impact of investment gains, for the three
months ended March 31, 2008, Other loss, net decreased primarily due to lower foreign exchange
losses.
Minority Interest Expense, Net. Time Warner had $83 million of minority interest expense, net
for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $130 million for the three months ended March
31, 2007. The decrease related primarily to the absence in the first quarter of 2008 of the
respective minority owners shares of the gain on the sale of AOLs German access business and on
the TKCCP Gain, both which occurred during the first quarter of 2007, partially offset by larger
profits recorded by the Cable segment during 2008.
Income Tax Provision. Income tax expense from continuing operations was $499 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $797 million for the three months ended March 31,
2007. The Companys effective tax rate for continuing operations was 39% for the three months ended
March 31, 2008 compared to 40% for the three months ended March 31, 2007.
Income from Continuing Operations. Income from continuing operations was $771 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $1.187 billion for the three months ended March 31,
2007. Basic and diluted income per common share from continuing operations was $0.22 and $0.21,
respectively, in 2008 compared to $0.31 and $0.30, respectively, in 2007. Basic and diluted income per common share from continuing operations for the three months
ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 reflect the favorable impact of repurchases of shares under the
Companys stock repurchase programs. Excluding the items
previously noted under Significant Transactions and Other Items Affecting Comparability totaling
$28 million of expense and $325 million of income, net, for the three months ended March 31, 2008
and 2007, respectively, income from continuing operations decreased by $63 million, primarily
reflecting lower Operating Income, as noted above, and lower Other income (loss), net, as noted
above.
Discontinued Operations, Net of Tax. The financial results for the three months ended March
31, 2007 included the impact of treating certain businesses sold, which included Tegic
Communications, Inc., Wildseed LLC, the Parenting Group, most of the Time4 Media magazine titles,
The Progressive Farmer magazine, Leisure Arts, Inc. and the Atlanta Braves baseball franchise, as
discontinued operations. For additional information, see Note 2 to the accompanying consolidated
financial statements.
Net Income and Net Income Per Common Share. Net income was $771 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2008 compared to $1.203 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2007. Basic
and diluted net income per common share was $0.22 and $0.21, respectively, in 2008 compared to
$0.31 for each in 2007. Net income per common share for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and
2007 reflects the favorable impact of repurchases of shares under the Companys stock repurchase
programs.

The decline in Subscription revenues was primarily due to a decrease in the number of AOL
brand domestic subscribers and an approximate $90 million decrease related to the sale of AOLs
German access business in the first quarter of 2007.
The number of AOL brand Internet access domestic subscribers was 8.7 million, 9.3 million and
12.0 million as of March 31, 2008, December 31, 2007, and March 31, 2007, respectively. The AOL
brand domestic average revenue per subscriber (ARPU) was $18.29 and $18.97 for the three months
ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, 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 Internet access service include subscribers participating in introductory free-trial periods
and subscribers that are not paying any, or paying reduced, monthly fees through member service and
retention programs. Total AOL brand Internet access subscribers include free-trial and retention
members of 2% as of both March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 and 4% as of March 31, 2007.
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 Internet access subscriber numbers
presented above.
The continued decline in domestic subscribers is the result of a number of factors, including
the effects of AOLs strategy, which has resulted in the migration of subscribers to the free AOL
service offering, declining registrations for the paid service in response to AOLs significantly
reduced marketing and competition from broadband access providers. The decrease in ARPU for the
three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2007 was due
primarily to a shift in the subscriber mix to lower-priced subscriber price plans and a decrease in
premium services revenues, partially offset by an increase in the percentage of revenue generating
customers.

Advertising services include display advertising (which includes certain types of
impression-based and performance-driven advertising) and paid-search advertising, both domestically
and internationally, which are provided on both the AOL Network and the Third Party Network. Total
Advertising revenues improved slightly for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to the
three months ended March 31, 2007 due to increased Advertising revenues generated on the Third
Party Network, partially offset by a decrease in Advertising revenues generated on the AOL Network,

The decrease in AOL Network display Advertising revenues reflected the absence of a $19
million benefit recognized in the first quarter of 2007 related to a change in an accounting
estimate resulting from more timely system data, the challenges of integrating recently acquired
businesses (including certain sales execution issues), pricing declines and a shift in the mix of
inventory sold to lower-priced inventory, as well as the discontinuation of certain advertising
programs. The increase in AOL Network paid-search Advertising revenues, which are generated
primarily through AOLs strategic relationship with Google, was attributable primarily to higher
revenues per search query on certain AOL Network properties.
The increase in Advertising revenues on the Third Party Network was primarily attributable to
the effect of business acquisitions in 2007 and the first quarter of 2008, which contributed
revenues of $41 million, and continued advertising growth of $36 million, partially offset by a
decrease of $39 million due to the change in the relationship with a major customer of
Advertising.com. Since January 1, 2008, this customer has been under no obligation to continue to
do business with Advertising.com, and the revenues associated with this relationship were $17
million for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The Company anticipates a significant decline in
Advertising revenues from this customer in 2008 compared to revenues of $215 million recognized in
2007.
Total Advertising revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2008 decreased $68 million
from the three months ended December 31, 2007, primarily due to decreases in display Advertising
revenues generated on the AOL Network, which were due to seasonality, the challenges of integrating
recently acquired businesses (including certain sales execution issues), pricing declines and
shifts in the mix of sold inventory to lower-priced inventory. The decrease in total Advertising
revenues was also due to declines in sales of advertising run on the Third Party Network as a
result of the change in Advertising.coms relationship with a major customer beginning in the first
quarter of 2008, partially offset by revenues associated with AOLs business acquisitions in 2007
and the first quarter of 2008. The revenues associated with these acquired businesses increased $20
million from the three months ended December 31, 2007.
The Company expects Advertising revenues at the AOL segment to increase during the remainder
of 2008 compared to the similar period in 2007 due to expected increases on the AOL Network,
primarily paid-search, and sales of advertising run on the Third Party Network due to both
anticipated revenue growth generated by Advertising.com and the Companys recent business
acquisitions, partially offset by expected declines associated with the end of commitments from a
major customer of Advertising.com, as discussed above. With respect to display Advertising revenues
on the AOL Network, while visibility is somewhat limited, the Company anticipates that display
Advertising revenues for the second quarter of 2008 will continue to be lower than the revenues
generated in the second quarter of 2007 due in part to expected continued challenges of integrating
recently acquired businesses.
Costs of revenues decreased 12%, and, as a percentage of revenues, were 48% for the three
months ended March 31, 2008 compared to 43% for the three months ended March 31, 2007. For the
three months ended March 31, 2008, approximately $60 million of the decrease in costs of revenues
was attributable to the sales of AOLs European access businesses. The remaining decrease was
attributable to lower network-related expenses and lower royalties and customer
12

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION (Continued)
service expenses,
primarily associated with the closures and sales of certain customer support call centers,
partially offset
by an increase in TAC. TAC consists of the costs of acquiring third-party online advertising
inventory and costs incurred in connection with distributing AOLs free products or services or
otherwise directing traffic to the AOL Network. For the three months ended March 31, 2008, TAC
increased 37% from $139 million in 2007 to $191 million in 2008 due primarily to a new product
distribution agreement and costs associated with growth in the Third Party Networks Advertising
revenues. The Company expects TAC to continue to increase during the remainder of 2008 as compared
to the similar period in 2007.
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 38% to $170 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2008, of which approximately $30 million was attributable to the sales of
AOLs European access businesses. The remaining decrease reflects a significant reduction in direct
marketing costs of approximately $40 million, primarily due to reduced subscriber acquisition
marketing as part of AOLs strategy, and other cost savings, primarily related to involuntary
employee terminations.
As previously noted under Significant Transactions and Other Items Affecting Comparability,
the results for the three months ended March 31, 2007 included a pretax gain of approximately $670
million on the sale of AOLs German access business. In addition, the results for the three months
ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 included net restructuring charges of $9 million and $23 million,
respectively, primarily related to involuntary employee terminations and facility closures.
Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization decreased due
primarily to the absence of the gain on
the sale of the German access business, which occurred in the first
quarter of 2007, and lower Subscription
revenues, partially offset by lower costs of revenues and selling, general and administrative
expenses. Operating Income decreased due primarily to the decrease in Operating Income before
Depreciation and Amortization, as discussed above, as well as an increase in amortization expense
due to the amortization of finite-lived intangible assets related to AOLs recent business
acquisitions, partially offset by a decrease in depreciation expense as a result of a decline in
network assets due to subscriber declines.
In connection with AOLs strategy, including its reduction of subscriber acquisition efforts,
AOL expects to experience a continued decline in its subscribers and related Subscription revenues.
Accordingly, during 2008, 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 anticipates that, excluding the impact of the gain on the sale of AOLs German
access business in the first quarter of 2007, Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization
and Operating Income for the full year 2008 will be less than the amount achieved for the full year
2007 due to expected continued declines in Subscription revenues and higher TAC, partially offset
by expected increases in Advertising revenues and decreases in certain other expenses.

basic video service. |

Digital video subscriber numbers reflect billable subscribers who receive any level

High-speed data subscriber numbers reflect billable subscribers who receive TWCs
Road Runner high-speed data service or any of the other high-speed data services offered by

Digital Phone subscriber numbers reflect billable subscribers who receive an
IP-based telephony service. For the three months ended March 31, 2007, residential Digital
Phone subscriber numbers exclude 93,000 subscribers who received traditional, circuit-switched
telephone service. During the first quarter of 2008, TWC substantially completed the process
of discontinuing the provision of circuit-switched telephone service in accordance with
regulatory requirements. As a result, as of March 31, 2008, Digital Phone was the only voice
service that TWC offered. |
(e) |
|
Revenue generating units represent the total of all basic video, digital video,
high-speed data and voice (including Digital Phone and, for the three months ended March 31,
2007, circuit-switched telephone service) subscribers. |
(f) |
|
Customer relationships represent the number of subscribers who receive at least one
level of service, encompassing video, high-speed data and voice services, without regard to
the number of services purchased. For example, a subscriber who purchases only high-speed data
service and no video service will count as one customer relationship, and a subscriber who
purchases both video and high-speed data services will also count as only one customer
relationship. |
Subscription revenues increased, primarily driven by the continued growth of digital video
services, video price increases and growth in high-speed data and Digital Phone subscribers.
Digital video revenues, which include revenues from digital tiers, digital pay channels,
pay-per-view, video-on-demand, subscription-video-on-demand and digital video recorder services,
represented 24% and 22% of video revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007,
respectively. Strong growth rates for Subscription revenues associated with high-speed data and
voice services are expected to continue during the remainder of 2008.
Costs of revenues increased 7%, and, as a percentage of revenues, were 48% for the three
months ended March 31, 2008 compared to 49% for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The increase
in costs of revenues was primarily related to the increases in video programming, employee, voice
and other direct operating costs. Video programming costs increased 6% to $929 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2008 primarily due to contractual rate increases and the expansion of
service offerings, partially offset by lower basic video subscribers. Employee costs increased
primarily due to higher headcount resulting from the continued growth of digital video, high-speed
data and Digital Phone services, as well
14
TIME WARNER INC.
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION (Continued)
as salary increases. Voice costs increased $16 million to
$128 million primarily due to growth in Digital Phone subscribers,
partially offset by a decline in per-subscriber connectivity costs. Other direct operating
costs increased 9% to $326 million primarily due to increases in certain other costs associated
with the continued growth of digital video, high-speed data and Digital Phone services.
The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily attributable to
higher employee and marketing costs. Employee costs increased, due primarily to greater headcount,
salary increases and higher equity-based compensation expense, reflecting mainly the timing of
2008 grants, which were made during the first quarter as
compared to 2007 grants, which were made in the second quarter. Marketing costs increased as a result of intensified marketing efforts during the first
quarter of 2008.
The Cable segment expensed non-capitalizable merger-related and restructuring costs associated
with the Adelphia/Comcast Transactions of $4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. In
addition, the results for the three months ended March 31, 2007 included other restructuring costs
of $6 million.
Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization increased principally as a result of
revenue growth (particularly growth in high margin high-speed data revenues), 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, and a decrease in amortization expense, partially
offset by an increase in depreciation expense. The increase in depreciation expense was primarily
associated with purchases of customer premise equipment, scalable infrastructure and line
extensions (each of which is primarily driven by customer demand) occurring during or subsequent to
the first quarter of 2007. Amortization expense decreased primarily due to the absence of
amortization expense associated with customer relationships recorded in connection with the 2003
restructuring of TWE, which were fully amortized at the end of the first quarter of 2007.

The increase in theatrical film revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was due
primarily to the success of certain key releases, which compared favorably to the three months
ended March 31, 2007. Revenues in the first quarter of 2008 included the releases of 10,000 B.C.
and Fools Gold, as well as carryover revenues from I Am Legend and The Bucket List. Revenues in
the first quarter of 2007 included the releases of 300 and Music & Lyrics, as well as carryover
revenues from Blood Diamond and Happy Feet. Theatrical product revenues from home video and
electronic delivery increased for the three months ended March 31, 2008 primarily due to a greater
number of significant titles in the first quarter of 2008, including I Am Legend, Michael Clayton
and The Brave One, compared to the first quarter of 2007, which included Happy Feet and The
Departed. Theatrical product revenues from television licensing increased for the three months
ended March 31, 2008 due primarily to the timing and quantity of availabilities.
The decrease in television product licensing fees was primarily due to the impact of the WGA
strike, partially offset by off-network license fees from Seinfeld. The increase in television
product revenues from home video and electronic delivery primarily reflected the timing of
releases, including the release of the second season of Two and a Half Men.
The increase in other Content revenues was due primarily to the expansion of the distribution
of interactive video games and the acquisition of TT Games Limited in the fourth quarter of 2007.
The decrease in costs of revenues resulted primarily from lower theatrical advertising and
print costs due to the timing, quantity and mix of films released, partially offset by higher film
costs ($1.152 billion in 2008 compared to $1.143 billion in 2007). Included in film costs are net
pre-release theatrical film valuation adjustments, which decreased to $9 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2008 from $53 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. In
addition, in the first quarter of 2008, the Company recognized approximately $50 million in
participation expense related to current claims on films released in prior periods. Costs of
revenues as a percentage of revenues were 70% and 73% in the first quarter of 2008 and 2007,
respectively, reflecting the quantity and mix of products released.
In January 2008, the Company resolved a patent dispute with one of its major vendors by
licensing specific patents for future use by the vendor and for the receipt of a payment of $75
million, and the Company and the vendor also entered into various additional arrangements including
an agreement for the vendor to provide certain manufacturing services to the Company through 2013
with certain exclusive rights through November 2009. The Company recognized approximately $9
million of the $75 million as a reduction of costs of revenues in the first quarter of 2008 and
will recognize the remainder of the $75 million during 2008 and 2009.
The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily the result of
higher employee costs and higher distribution costs attributable to the increase in revenues.

The results for the three months ended March 31, 2008 included $116 million of restructuring
charges associated with
the announced operational reorganization of the New Line Cinema business, related to planned
involuntary employee terminations in connection with the reorganization, and the Company expects to
incur incremental restructuring charges ranging from $20 million to $30 million during the
remainder of 2008.
Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization and Operating Income decreased primarily
due to the increase in restructuring charges in the first quarter of 2008 and an increase in

Costs of revenues and selling, general and administrative expenses exclude
depreciation. |
The increase in Subscription revenues was due primarily to higher subscription rates and
acquisitions at both Turner and HBO and, to a lesser extent, an increase in the number of
subscribers at Turner.
The increase in Advertising revenues was driven primarily by Turners domestic entertainment
and news networks, mainly due to an increase in advertising units sold, audience growth and higher
CPMs (advertising rates per thousand viewers).
Costs of revenues increased due primarily to increases in programming costs, as well as
election-related newsgathering costs. Programming costs increased 23% to $907 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2008 from $740 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 due
primarily to an increase in sports programming costs at Turner, particularly related to NBA
programming, as well as higher original programming costs at both HBO and Turner. In addition,
programming costs for the three months ended March 31, 2008 included an impairment of $21 million
related to HBOs decision to not proceed with an original series. Costs of revenues as a
percentage of revenues were 47% and 44% for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007,
respectively.
The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses reflected, in part, higher costs
related to international expansion at Turner.
Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization and Operating Income increased primarily
due to an increase in revenues, partially offset by increases in costs of revenues and selling,
general and administrative expenses.
The Company anticipates that the growth rates for Operating Income before Depreciation and
Amortization and Operating Income at the Networks segment for the remainder of 2008 will be higher
than those achieved in the first quarter of 2008, reflecting expected increases in both
Subscription and Advertising revenues, partially offset by increased programming and newsgathering
expenses.

Subscription revenues increased primarily as a result of higher newsstand sales for several
domestic magazine titles and at IPC, partially offset by the impact of the sale of four
non-strategic magazine titles in the third quarter of 2007.
Advertising revenues decreased due primarily to the impact of the 2007 closures of LIFE and
Business 2.0 magazines. Excluding the impact of the closures, Advertising revenues increased due to
growth in online revenues, led by contributions from People.com and CNNMoney.com, offset in part by
declines in domestic print Advertising revenues.
Other revenues decreased due primarily to decreases at Southern Living at Home.
Costs of revenues decreased 3% and, as a percentage of revenues, were 41% and 42% for the
three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Costs of revenues for the magazine
publishing business include manufacturing costs (paper, printing and distribution) and
editorial-related costs, which together decreased 3% to $373 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2008, primarily due to cost savings related to the magazine closures and the impact of
the sale of four non-strategic magazine titles, partially offset by higher paper costs, which are
expected to increase for the remainder of 2008. 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 decreased primarily due to cost savings
initiatives and magazine closures, partially offset by costs associated with investments in digital
properties.
The results for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 included $10 million and $35
million, respectively, of restructuring costs, primarily severance associated with continuing
efforts to streamline operations and for the three months ended March 31, 2007 also included costs
related to the shutdown of LIFE magazine in the first quarter of 2007.
Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization increased due primarily to decreases in
costs of revenues and selling, general and administrative expenses as well as a decline in
restructuring charges of $25 million. Operating Income increased due primarily to the increases in
Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization described above, partially offset by an
increase in depreciation expense due primarily to the completion during the second quarter of 2007
of construction on IPCs new U.K. headquarters.
The Company anticipates that achieving growth in Operating Income before Depreciation and
Amortization and Operating Income at the Publishing segment for the remainder of 2008 will be
challenging, primarily due to expected declines in both domestic print Advertising revenues and
Other revenues as well as paper cost increases.

As previously noted, the Company recognized legal reserves as well as legal and other
professional fees related to the defense of various shareholder lawsuits totaling $4 million and
$171 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. In addition, the
Company recognized related insurance recoveries of $8 million for the three months ended March 31,
2007. Although 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, they are
not anticipated to be material.
The results for the three months ended March 31, 2008 included $7 million of restructuring
costs, due primarily to involuntary employee terminations as a result of the Companys cost savings
initiatives at the Corporate segment. The Company anticipates that these initiatives will result in
annual savings of more than $50 million.
Excluding the items noted above, Operating Loss before Depreciation and Amortization and
Operating Loss decreased due primarily to lower corporate costs, related in part to the cost
savings initiatives.
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 quarterly dividend
payments and the remainder of its $5 billion common stock repurchase program. Time Warners sources
of cash include cash provided by operations, cash and equivalents on hand, available borrowing
capacity under its committed credit facilities and commercial paper programs, and access to capital
markets. Time Warners unused committed capacity at March 31, 2008 (not including amounts available
at TWC) was $4.878 billion, including $1.377 billion of cash and equivalents. At the same date,
TWCs unused committed capacity was $4.226 billion, including $226 million of cash and equivalents.
Current Financial Condition
At March 31, 2008, Time Warner had $36.161 billion of debt, $1.603 billion of cash and
equivalents (net debt of $34.558 billion, defined as total debt less cash and equivalents), $300
million of mandatorily redeemable preferred membership units at a subsidiary and $58.712 billion of
shareholders equity, compared to $37.130 billion of debt, $1.516 billion of cash and equivalents
(net debt of $35.614 billion, defined as total debt less cash and equivalents), $300 million of
mandatorily redeemable preferred membership units at a subsidiary and $58.536 billion of
shareholders equity at December 31, 2007.

Included in the net debt balance is approximately $179 million that represents the
net unamortized fair value adjustment recognized as a result of the merger of America Online,
Inc. (now known as AOL) and Historic TW Inc. |
Time Warner has a shelf registration statement on file with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the SEC) that allows it to offer and sell from time to time debt securities,
preferred stock, common stock and/or warrants to purchase debt and equity securities.
As noted under Recent Developments, on July 26, 2007, Time Warners Board of Directors
authorized a common stock repurchase program that allows the Company to purchase up to an aggregate
of $5 billion of common stock. Purchases under this 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 are based on a number of factors, including price and business and market conditions.
From the programs inception through April 29, 2008, the Company has repurchased approximately 154
million shares of common stock for approximately $2.8 billion, which included approximately 19
million shares of common stock purchased for approximately $299 million in the first quarter of
2008, pursuant to trading programs under Rule10 b5-1 of the Exchange Act (Note 6).
As noted under Recent Developments, on March 13, 2008, the Company, through its AOL segment,
announced that AOL had entered into an agreement to acquire Bebo, a leading global social media
network, for $850 million in cash. The transaction, which is subject to customary closing
conditions, is expected to close in the second quarter of 2008.
In connection with the 2006 sale of AOLs U.K. access business, the Company expects to receive
the remaining approximate $140 million owed from the buyer during the three months ending June 30,
2008.
On January 8, 2008, the Company entered into an agreement for a $2.0 billion three-year
unsecured term loan facility with a maturity date of January 8, 2011. Substantially all of the
borrowings under the facility, which was fully drawn on January 8, 2008, were used to repay
existing short-term borrowings (Note 5).
Time Warners 7.48% notes due January 15, 2008 (aggregate principal amount of $166 million)
matured and were retired on January 15, 2008.

(d) |
|

certain other merger-related liabilities, net of accruals. |
Cash provided by operations increased to $2.796 billion in 2008 compared to $1.399 billion in
2007. The increase in cash provided by operations was related primarily to cash provided by working
capital and a decrease in payments made in connection with the settlements in the securities
litigation and the government investigations, partially offset by an increase in domestic pension
plan contributions. 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 primarily reflects higher cash collections on receivables and the timing of
payments on accounts payable and accrued liabilities. During the first quarter of 2008, there were
no U.S. Federal income tax payments required. Estimated U.S. federal tax installments for both the
first and second quarters of 2008 will be paid during the second quarter of 2008. As the majority
of the Companys U.S. federal tax attribute carryforwards were utilized as of December 31, 2007,
the Company expects a significant increase in income tax payments during the remainder of 2008.
Partially offsetting this increase will be the benefits from the Economic Stimulus Act of 2008,
which provides for a special 50% depreciation deduction in 2008 for certain qualifying property.
Additionally, the Company anticipates making discretionary cash contributions of up to $250 million
to certain domestic funded defined benefit plans in 2008, subject to market conditions and other
considerations, $150 million of which has been contributed as of March 31, 2008.

Cash used by investing activities was $1.209 billion in 2008 compared to cash provided by
investing activities of $140 million in 2007. The change in cash provided (used) by investing
activities primarily reflected the decrease in proceeds from the sales of assets and an increase in

Cash used by financing activities was $1.500 billion in 2008 compared to $2.047 billion in
2007. The change in cash used by financing activities is primarily due to a decline in repurchases
of common stock made in connection with the Companys common stock repurchase programs, partially
offset by an increase in debt repayments.
Programming Licensing Backlog
Programming licensing backlog represents the amount of future revenues 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 $3.5 billion and $3.7
billion at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. Included in these amounts is
licensing of film product from the Filmed Entertainment segment to the Networks segment in the
amount of $740 million and $700 million at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, 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,
22
TIME WARNER INC.
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION (Continued)
believes and words and terms of similar substance used in connection with any discussion of
future operating or financial performance identify forward-looking statements. These
forward-looking statements are based on managements current expectations and beliefs about future
events. As with any projection or forecast, they are inherently susceptible to uncertainty and
changes in circumstances, and the Company is under no obligation to, and expressly disclaims any
obligation to, update or alter its forward-looking statements whether as a result of such changes,
new information, subsequent events or otherwise.
Various factors could adversely affect the operations, business or financial results of Time
Warner or its business segments in the future and cause Time Warners actual results to differ
materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements, including those factors
discussed in detail in Item 1A, Risk Factors, in the
2007 Form 10-K and in Time Warners other filings made from time to
time with the SEC after the date of this report. In addition, Time Warner operates in highly
competitive, consumer and technology-driven and rapidly changing media, entertainment, interactive
services and cable businesses. These businesses are affected by government regulation, economic,
strategic, political and social conditions, consumer response to new and existing products and
services, technological developments and, particularly in view of new technologies, the continued
ability to protect intellectual property rights. Time Warners actual results could differ
materially from managements expectations because of changes in such factors.
Further, for Time Warner generally, lower than expected valuations associated with the cash
flows and revenues at Time Warners segments may result in Time Warners inability to realize the
value of recorded intangibles and goodwill at those segments. In addition, achieving the Companys
financial objectives, including growth in operations, maintaining financial ratios and a strong
balance sheet, could be adversely affected by the factors discussed in detail in Item 1A, Risk
Factors, in the 2007 Form 10-K, as well as:
|
|
|
economic slowdowns; |
|
|
|
|
the impact of terrorist acts and hostilities; |
|
|
|
|
changes in the Companys plans, strategies and intentions; |
|
|
|
|
the impacts of significant acquisitions, dispositions and other similar transactions,
including any transaction that may result from the Companys discussions with TWC regarding
its ownership structure; |
|
|
|
|
the failure to meet earnings expectations; and |
|
|
|
|
decreased liquidity in the capital markets, including any reduction in the ability to
access the capital markets for debt securities or bank financings. |

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company, under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including the
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and
operation of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule
13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that
evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that the
Companys disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to
be disclosed in reports filed or submitted by the Company under the Exchange Act is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms
and that information required to be disclosed by the Company is accumulated and communicated to the
Companys management to allow timely decisions regarding the required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have not been any changes in the Companys internal control over financial reporting
during the quarter ended March 31, 2008 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to
materially affect, its internal control over financial reporting.

TIME WARNER INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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 operations into five reportable
segments: AOL: consisting principally of interactive consumer and advertising services; Cable:
consisting principally of 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 that provide
programming; and Publishing: consisting principally of magazine publishing. Financial information
for Time Warners various reportable segments is presented in Note 10.
Basis of Presentation
Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include 100% of the assets, liabilities, revenues,
expenses and cash flows of Time Warner and all entities in which Time Warner has a controlling
voting interest (subsidiaries) and variable interest entities (VIE) required to be consolidated
in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Intercompany accounts
and transactions between consolidated companies have been eliminated in consolidation.
The financial position and operating results of substantially all foreign operations are
consolidated using the local currency as the functional currency. Local currency assets and
liabilities are translated at the rates of exchange on the balance sheet date, and local currency
revenues and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange during the period. Resulting
translation gains or losses are included in the consolidated statement of shareholders equity as a
component of Accumulated other comprehensive income, net.
The effects of any changes in the Companys ownership interests resulting from the issuance of
equity capital by consolidated subsidiaries or equity investees to unaffiliated parties and certain
other equity transactions recorded by consolidated subsidiaries or equity investees are accounted
for as capital transactions pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 51, Accounting for the Sales of Stock of a Subsidiary. Deferred taxes
generally have not been recorded on such capital transactions, as such temporary differences would,
in most instances, be recovered in a tax-free manner.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year financial information to conform to
the March 31, 2008 presentation.
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 consolidated financial statements
and footnotes thereto. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Significant estimates inherent in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements
include accounting for asset impairments, allowances for doubtful accounts, depreciation and
amortization, film ultimate revenues, home video and magazine returns, business combinations,
pensions and other postretirement benefits, equity-based compensation, income taxes, contingencies
and certain programming arrangements.
Interim Financial Statements
The consolidated financial statements are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management,
they contain all the adjustments (consisting of those of a normal recurring nature) considered
necessary to present fairly the financial position, the results of operations and cash flows for
the periods presented in conformity with GAAP applicable to interim
periods. The consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated
financial statements of Time Warner included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 2007 (the 2007 Form 10-K).

TIME WARNER INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Income Per Common Share
Basic income per common share is computed by dividing the net income applicable to common
shares by the weighted average of common shares outstanding during the period. Weighted-average
common shares include shares of Time Warners 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 from
continuing operations (millions, except per share amounts):

approximately 398 million and 289 million, respectively, common shares that may be issued under the
Companys stock compensation plans because they do not have a dilutive effect.
Accounting Standards Adopted in 2008
Fair Value Measurements
On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted certain provisions of Financial Accounting Standards
Board (FASB) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (Statement) No. 157, Fair Value
Measurements (FAS 157), which establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets
out a framework for measuring fair value and expands on required disclosures about fair value
measurement. The provisions of FAS 157 adopted on January 1, 2008 relate to financial assets and
liabilities as well as other assets and liabilities carried at fair value on a recurring basis and
did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements. The provisions
of FAS 157 related to other nonfinancial assets and liabilities will be effective for Time Warner
on January 1, 2009, and will be applied prospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the
impact that these additional FAS 157 provisions will have on the Companys consolidated financial
statements. See Note 4 for further discussion.
2. BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS
Bebo Acquisition
On March 13, 2008, the Company, through its AOL segment, announced that AOL had entered into
an agreement to acquire Bebo, Inc. (Bebo), a leading global social media network, for $850
million in cash. The transaction, which is subject to customary closing conditions, is expected to
close in the second quarter of 2008.
Buy.at Acquisition
On February 5, 2008, the Company, through its AOL segment, completed the purchase of
Perfiliate Limited (buy.at), which provides performance-based e-commerce marketing services to
advertisers, for $124 million in cash, net of cash acquired. The buy.at acquisition did not
significantly impact the Companys consolidated financial results for the three months ended March
31, 2008.

4. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
In accordance with FAS 157, a fair value measurement is determined based on the assumptions
that a market participant would use in pricing an asset or liability. FAS 157 also established a
three-tiered hierarchy that draws a distinction between market participant assumptions based on (i)
observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets (Level 1), (ii) inputs other than quoted
prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly (Level 2) and (iii)
unobservable inputs that require the Company to use present value and other valuation techniques in
the determination of fair value (Level 3). The following table presents information about assets
and liabilities required to be carried at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2008

New Time Warner Bank Credit Agreement
On January 8, 2008, the Company entered into an agreement for a $2.0 billion three-year
unsecured term loan facility with a maturity date of January 8, 2011. Substantially all of the
borrowings under the facility, which was fully drawn on January 8, 2008, were used to repay
existing short-term borrowings.
6. SHAREHOLDERS EQUITY
Common Stock Repurchase Program
On July 26, 2007, Time Warners Board of Directors authorized a common stock repurchase
program that allows the Company to purchase up to an aggregate of $5 billion of common stock.
Purchases under this 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 are based on a number
of factors, including price and business and market conditions. From the programs inception
through March 31, 2008, the Company repurchased approximately 154 million shares of common stock
for approximately $2.8 billion, which included approximately 19 million shares of common stock
purchased for approximately $299 million in the first quarter of 2008, pursuant to trading programs
under Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act.
7. EQUITY-BASED COMPENSATION
Time Warner Equity Plans
The Company has three active equity plans under which it is authorized to grant equity awards
covering 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 stock options vest ratably over a
four-year vesting period and expire ten years from the date of grant. Certain stock option awards
provide for accelerated vesting upon an election to retire pursuant to the Companys defined
benefit retirement plans or after reaching a specified age and years of service, as well as certain
additional circumstances for non-employee directors. For the three months ended March 31, 2008, the
Company granted approximately 29 million options at a weighted-average grant date fair value per
option of $4.13 ($2.56 net of tax). For the three months ended March 31, 2007, the Company granted
approximately 27 million stock options at a weighted-average grant date fair value per option of
$5.15 ($3.19 net of

Pursuant to these equity plans and an additional plan limited to non-employee directors, Time
Warner may also grant shares of common stock or restricted stock units (RSUs), which generally
vest between three to five years from the date of grant, to its employees and its non-employee
directors. Certain RSU awards provide for accelerated vesting upon an election to retire pursuant
to the Companys defined benefit retirement plans or after reaching a specified age and years of
service, as well as certain additional circumstances for non-employee directors. Holders of
restricted stock and RSU awards are generally entitled to receive cash dividends or dividend
equivalents, respectively, paid by the Company during the period of time that the restricted stock
or RSU awards are unvested. For the three months ended March 31, 2008, the Company granted
approximately 10 million RSUs at a weighted-average grant date fair value per RSU of $14.93. For
the three months ended March 31, 2007, the Company granted approximately 8 million RSUs at a
weighted-average grant date fair value per RSU of $19.97.
Time Warner also has a performance stock unit program for senior level executives. Under this
program, recipients of performance stock 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 performance period (generally three years) based on the actual performance level achieved
by the Company. Depending on the Companys total shareholder return relative to the other companies
in the S&P 500 Index, 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 on
the date of grant 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, 2008, the Company granted approximately 1.1 million target PSUs at a weighted-average
grant date fair value per PSU of $17.53. 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.
TWC Equity Plan
Since April 2007, grants of equity awards to TWC employees have been and will continue to be
made by TWC under TWCs equity plans.
The Time Warner Cable Inc. 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (the TWC 2006 Plan) provides for the
issuance of up to 100 million shares of TWC Class A common stock to directors, employees and
certain non-employee advisors of TWC. Stock options have been granted under the TWC 2006 Plan with
exercise prices equal to the fair market value of TWC Class A common stock at the date of grant.
Generally, the TWC stock options vest ratably over a four-year vesting period and expire ten years
from the date of grant. Certain TWC stock option awards provide for accelerated vesting upon an
election to retire pursuant to TWCs defined benefit retirement plans or after reaching a specified
age and years of service.

TIME WARNER INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
For the three months ended March 31, 2008, TWC granted approximately 4.6 million stock options

Pursuant to the TWC 2006 Plan, TWC also granted RSU awards, which generally vest over a
four-year period from the date of grant. Certain TWC RSU awards provide for accelerated vesting
upon an election to retire pursuant to TWCs defined benefit retirement plans or after reaching a
specified age and years of service. Shares of TWC Class A common stock will generally be issued in
connection with the vesting of an RSU. RSUs awarded to non-employee directors of TWC are not
subject to vesting restrictions and the shares underlying the RSUs will be issued in connection
with a directors termination of service as a director of TWC. For the three months ended March
31, 2008, TWC granted approximately 2.8 million RSUs at a weighted-average grant date fair value
per RSU of $27.51.
Equity-Based Compensation Expense
Compensation expense and the related tax benefit recognized for equity-based compensation

8. BENEFIT PLANS
Time Warner and certain of its subsidiaries have both funded and unfunded defined benefit
pension plans, the substantial majority of which are noncontributory, covering a majority of
domestic employees and, to a lesser extent, have various defined benefit plans covering
international employees. Pension benefits are determined 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 its plans. A summary of the
components of the net periodic benefit costs from continuing operations recognized for
substantially all of Time Warners domestic and international defined benefit pension plans for the
three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 is as follows (millions):

in the discount rate, investment performance and related tax consequences, the Company may choose
to make contributions to its pension plans

TIME WARNER INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
in any given year. At March 31, 2008, there were no minimum required contributions for domestic
funded plans. However, the Company anticipates making discretionary cash contributions of up to
$250 million to certain domestic funded plans in 2008, subject to market conditions and other
considerations, $150 million of which has been contributed as of March 31, 2008. For domestic
unfunded plans, contributions will continue to be made to the extent benefits are paid. Expected
benefit payments for domestic unfunded plans for 2008 are approximately $20 million. In addition,
the Company anticipates funding an additional $20 million in connection with international plans in
2008.
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 do 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
Changes in the Companys liability with respect to merger costs capitalized as a cost of
acquisition from December 31, 2007 to March 31, 2008 are set forth below (millions):

reflect amounts incurred in 2008 related to 2007 and prior restructuring initiatives. |
(b) |
|
$4 million of the $10 million incurred for the three months ended March 31, 2007
relates to non-capitalizable merger-related and restructuring costs associated with the 2006
transactions with Adelphia Communications Corporation (Adelphia) and Comcast Corporation
(together with its subsidiaries, Comcast) (the Adelphia/Comcast Transactions). |
The Companys merger, restructuring and shutdown costs primarily related to employee
termination costs that occurred at each segment other than the Networks segment and ranged from
senior executives to line personnel. For the three months ended March 31, 2008, merger,
restructuring and shutdown costs were primarily associated with the Filmed Entertainment segments
operational reorganization of the New Line Cinema business, related to planned involuntary employee
terminations in connection with the reorganization. The Company expects to incur incremental
restructuring charges relating to this operational reorganization ranging from $20 million to $30
million during the remainder of 2008.

10. SEGMENT INFORMATION
Time Warner classifies its operations into five reportable segments: AOL, consisting
principally of interactive consumer and advertising services; Cable, consisting principally of
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 that provide programming; and
Publishing, consisting principally of magazine publishing.
Information as to the operations of Time Warner in each of its reportable 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 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 impact segment results. Revenues recognized by Time
Warners segments on intersegment transactions are as follows:

11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Commitments
As more fully described in the 2007 Form 10-K, the Company has a contingent commitment with
regard to its former investment in the Six Flags theme parks located in Georgia and Texas (Six
Flags Georgia and Six Flags Texas, respectively, and, collectively, the Parks). To date, no
payments have been made by the Company pursuant to this contingent commitment. In November 2007,
Moodys Investors Service, Standard & Poors and Fitch Ratings downgraded their credit ratings for
Six Flags Inc. (Six Flags). In March 2008, Moodys Investors Service changed Six Flags rating
outlook to negative from stable and downgraded its speculative-grade liquidity rating. The
aggregate undiscounted estimated future cash flow requirements covered by the contingent commitment
over the remaining term of the agreements are approximately $1.4 billion. The agreements extend
through 2027 (Six Flags Georgia) and 2028 (Six Flags Texas). Six Flags has also publicly disclosed that it
has deposited approximately $13 million in an escrow account as a source of funds in the event the
Company is required to fund any portion of the contingent commitment in the future.
Because the contingent commitment existed prior to the Companys adoption of FASB
Interpretation No. 45, Guarantors Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including
Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others (FIN 45), and no modifications to the arrangements
have been made since the date the contingent commitment came into existence, the recognition requirements of FIN 45 are not applicable to the arrangements and
the Company has continued to account for the contingent commitment in accordance with FASB
Statement No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies (FAS 5). Based on its evaluation of the current
facts and circumstances surrounding the contingent commitment (including the recent financial
performance reported for the Parks and by Six Flags), the Company has concluded that a probable
loss does not exist and, consequently, no liability for the arrangements has been recognized at
March 31, 2008. Because of the specific circumstances surrounding the arrangements and the fact
that no active or observable market exists for this type of financial guarantee, the Company is
unable to determine a current fair value for the contingent commitment.
Contingencies
Securities Matters
During the Summer and Fall of 2002, numerous shareholder class action lawsuits were filed
against the Company, certain current and former executives of the Company and, in several
instances, AOL. 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 Exchange Act, Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, and
Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act. Plaintiffs claimed, among other things, that the Company failed
to disclose AOLs declining advertising revenues and that the Company and AOL inappropriately
inflated advertising revenues in a series of transactions. All of these lawsuits were eventually
centralized in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York for coordinated or
consolidated pre-trial proceedings (along with the federal derivative lawsuits, several lawsuits
brought under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA), and other related
matters, certain of which are described below) under the caption In re AOL Time Warner Inc.
Securities and ERISA Litigation. In the summer of 2005, the Company entered into a settlement
agreement to resolve this matter with the Minnesota State Board of Investment (MSBI), who had
been designated lead plaintiff for the consolidated securities actions, and the court granted final
approval of the settlement on April 6, 2006. The settlement fund established for the members of the
class represented

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
in this action (the MSBI Settlement Fund) consisted of $2.4 billion contributed by the Company
and $100 million contributed by Ernst & Young LLP. In addition, $150 million the Company had
previously paid in connection with the settlement of the investigation by the U.S. Department of
Justice, and $300 million the Company had previously paid in connection with the settlement of its
SEC investigation, were transferred to the MSBI Settlement Fund for distribution to investors
through the MSBI settlement process. An initial distribution of these funds has been made, and
administration of the settlement is ongoing.
During the Fall of 2002 and Winter of 2003, several 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. In 2006, the parties
entered into a settlement agreement to resolve the ERISA matters, and the court granted final
approval of the settlement on September 27, 2006. The aggregate amount for which the Company
settled this lawsuit as well as the related lawsuits is described below. On October 26, 2007, the
court issued an order approving certain attorneys fees and expenses requested by plaintiffs
counsel, as well as approving certain incentive awards to the lead plaintiffs. Two of the lead
plaintiffs filed an appeal on November 26, 2007 challenging the amount of their incentive awards,
but the matter was remanded to the district court upon stipulation of the parties in January 2008,
and resolved by order of the district court dated April 9, 2008. The time to appeal that order has
not yet expired.
During the Summer and Fall of 2002, numerous shareholder derivative lawsuits were filed in
state and federal courts naming as defendants certain current and former directors and officers of
the Company, as well as the Company as a nominal defendant. The complaints alleged that defendants
breached their fiduciary duties by, among other things, causing the Company to issue corporate
statements that did not accurately represent that AOL had declining advertising revenues. Certain
of these lawsuits were later dismissed, and others were eventually consolidated in their respective
jurisdictions. In 2006, the parties entered into a settlement agreement to resolve all of the
remaining derivative matters, and the Court granted final approval of the settlement on September
6, 2006. The court has yet to rule on plaintiffs petition for attorneys fees and expenses.
During the fourth quarter of 2006, the Company established an additional reserve of $600
million related to its remaining securities litigation matters, some of which are described above,
bringing the reserve for unresolved claims to approximately $620 million at December 31, 2006. The
prior reserve aggregating $3.0 billion established in the second quarter of 2005 had been
substantially utilized as a result of the settlements resolving many of the other shareholder
lawsuits that had been pending against the Company, including settlements entered into during the
fourth quarter of 2006. During the first and second quarters of 2007, the Company reached
agreements to settle substantially all of the remaining securities litigation claims, a substantial
portion of which had been reserved for at December 31, 2006. During 2007, the Company recorded
charges of approximately $153 million for these settlements. At March 31, 2008, the Companys
remaining reserve related to these matters is $10 million, which approximates an expected
attorneys fee award in the previously settled derivative matter described above. The Company has
no remaining securities litigation matters as of March 31, 2008.
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. Nederlands) in Brazil and acts as a service provider
to the Warner Bros. Nederlands 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. Certain of these matters were settled in September 2007 pursuant to a
government-sponsored amnesty program. 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 against the various remaining tax
cases vigorously.
On October 8, 2004, certain heirs of Jerome Siegel, one of the creators of the Superman
character, filed suit against the Company, DC Comics and Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc. in the
U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. Plaintiffs complaint seeks an
accounting and demands up to one-half of the profits made on Superman since the alleged April 16,
1999 termination by plaintiffs of Siegels grants of one-half of the rights to the Superman
character to DC Comics predecessor-in-interest. Plaintiffs have also asserted various Lanham Act
and unfair competition claims, alleging wasting of the Superman property by DC Comics and failure
to accord credit to Siegel. The Company answered the complaint and filed counterclaims on November
11, 2004, to which plaintiffs replied on January 7, 2005. On April 30, 2007, the Company filed
motions for partial summary judgment on various issues, including the unavailability of accounting
for pre-termination and foreign works. On March 26, 2008, the court entered an order of summary
judgment finding, among other things, that plaintiffs notices of termination were valid and that
plaintiffs had thereby recaptured, as of April 16, 1999, their rights to a one-half interest in
the Superman story material, as first published, but that the accounting for profits would not
include profits attributable to foreign exploitation, republication of pre-termination works and
trademark exploitation. The remaining issues in the case are scheduled for trial starting in
November 2008. The Company intends to defend against this lawsuit vigorously.
On October 22, 2004, the same Siegel heirs filed a second lawsuit against the Company, DC
Comics, Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc., Warner Communications Inc. and Warner Bros. Television
Production Inc. in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. Plaintiffs claim
that Jerome Siegel was the sole creator of the character Superboy and, as such, DC Comics has had
no right to create new Superboy works since the alleged October 17, 2004 termination by plaintiffs
of Siegels grants of rights to the Superboy character to DC Comics predecessor-in-interest. This
lawsuit seeks a declaration regarding the validity of the alleged termination and an injunction
against future use of the Superboy character. Plaintiffs have also asserted Lanham Act and unfair
competition claims alleging false statements by DC Comics regarding the creation of the Superboy
character. The Company answered the complaint and filed counterclaims on December 21, 2004, to
which plaintiffs replied on January 7, 2005. The case was consolidated for discovery purposes with
the Superman action described immediately above. The parties filed cross-motions for summary
judgment or partial summary judgment on February 15, 2006. In its ruling dated March 23, 2006, the
court denied the Companys motion for summary judgment, granted plaintiffs motion for partial
summary judgment on termination and held that further proceedings are necessary to determine
whether the Companys Smallville television series may infringe on plaintiffs rights to the
Superboy character. On January 12, 2007, the Company filed a motion for reconsideration of the
courts decision granting plaintiffs motion for partial summary judgment on termination. On April
30, 2007, the Company filed a motion for summary judgment on non-infringement of Smallville. On
July 27, 2007, the court granted the Companys motion for reconsideration, reversing the bulk of
the March 23, 2006 ruling, and requested additional briefing on certain issues. On March 31, 2008,
the court, among other things, denied the Companys summary judgment motion as moot in view of the
courts July 27, 2007 reconsideration ruling. To the extent any issues remain, the Company intends
to defend against this lawsuit vigorously.
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 FLSA asking the court to notify
former community leaders nationwide about the lawsuit and allow those community leaders the
opportunity to join the lawsuit. On February 21, 2008, the court granted plaintiffs motion to
issue notice to the former community leaders nationwide. A related case was filed by several of the
Hallissey plaintiffs in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York alleging
violations of the retaliation provisions of the FLSA. This case was stayed pending the outcome of
the Hallissey motion to dismiss and has not yet been activated. Three related class actions have
been filed in state courts in New Jersey, California and Ohio, alleging violations of the FLSA
and/or the respective state laws. The New Jersey and Ohio cases were removed to federal court and
subsequently transferred to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York for
consolidated pretrial proceedings with Hallissey. The California action was remanded to California
state court, and on January 6, 2004 the court denied plaintiffs motion for class certification.
Plaintiffs appealed the trial courts denial of their motion for class certification to the
California Court of Appeals. On

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
May 26, 2005, a three-justice panel of the California Court of Appeals unanimously affirmed the
trial courts order denying class certification. The plaintiffs petition for review in the
California Supreme Court was denied. The Company has settled the remaining individual claims in the
California action. The Company intends to defend against the remaining lawsuits vigorously.
On January 17, 2002, Community Leader volunteers filed a class action lawsuit in the U.S.
District Court for the Southern District of New York against the Company, AOL and AOL Community,
Inc. under ERISA. Plaintiffs allege that they are entitled to pension and/or welfare benefits
and/or other employee benefits subject to ERISA. In March 2003, plaintiffs filed and served a
second amended complaint, adding as defendants the Companys Administrative Committee and the AOL
Administrative Committee. On May 19, 2003, the Company, AOL and AOL Community, Inc. filed a motion
to dismiss and the Administrative Committees filed a motion for judgment on the pleadings. Both of
these motions are pending. The Company intends to defend against these lawsuits vigorously.
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 of its shareholders, asserts violations of Section 16(b) of
the Exchange Act. Plaintiff alleges that certain AOL executives and the founder of Infospace,
Naveen Jain, entered into an agreement to manipulate Infospaces stock price through the exercise
of warrants that AOL had received in connection with a commercial agreement with Infospace. Because
of this alleged agreement, plaintiff asserts that AOL and Mr. Jain constituted a group that held
more than 10% of Infospaces stock and, as a result, AOL violated the short-swing trading
prohibition of Section 16(b) in connection with sales of shares received from the exercise of those
warrants. The complaint seeks disgorgement of profits, interest and attorneys fees. On September
26, 2005, AOL filed a motion to dismiss the complaint for failure to state a claim, which was
denied by the court on December 5, 2005. On October 11, 2007, the parties filed cross-motions for
summary judgment. On January 3, 2008, the court granted AOLs motion and dismissed the complaint
with prejudice. On January 29, 2008, plaintiff filed a notice of appeal. The Company intends to
defend against this lawsuit vigorously.
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
and/or voicemail services. The plaintiff is seeking unspecified monetary damages as well as
injunctive relief. On March 20, 2007, this case, together with other lawsuits filed by Katz, was
made subject to a Multidistrict Litigation Order transferring the case for pretrial proceedings to
the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. The Company intends to defend
against this lawsuit vigorously.
On June 16, 1998, plaintiffs in Andrew Parker and Eric DeBrauwere, et al. v. Time Warner
Entertainment Company, L.P. and Time Warner Cable filed a purported 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 courts decision
denying class certification as a matter of law and remanded the case for further proceedings on
class certification and other matters. On May 4, 2004, plaintiffs filed a motion for class
certification, which the Company opposed. On October 25, 2005, the court granted preliminary
approval of a class settlement arrangement on terms that were not material to the Company, but
final approval of that settlement was denied on January 26, 2007. The parties subsequently reached
a revised settlement to resolve this action and submitted their agreement to the district court on
April 2, 2008. The revised settlement is subject to preliminary and final approval by the district
court; there can be no assurance that the settlement will receive either approval. Absent the
issuance of all required court approvals of the revised settlement, the Company intends to defend
against this lawsuit vigorously.
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 (NLC Corp.), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and its subsidiary, New
Line Productions Inc. (NL Productions) (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 (collectively, the Trilogy). 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 May 2009. The Company intends to defend against
these proceedings vigorously.
Other matters relating to the Trilogy have also been pursued. On February 11, 2008, trustees
of the Tolkien Trust and the J.R.R. Tolkien 1967 Discretionary Settlement Trust, as well as
HarperCollins Publishers, Ltd. and two related publishing entities, sued NLC Corp., Katja, and
other unnamed defendants in Los Angeles Superior Court. The complaint alleges that defendants
breached contracts relating to the Trilogy by, among other things, failing to make full payment to
plaintiffs for their participation in the Trilogys gross receipts. The suit also seeks
declarations as to the meaning of several provisions of the relevant agreements, including a
declaration that would terminate defendants future rights to other motion pictures based on J.R.R.
Tolkiens works, including The Hobbit. In addition, the complaint sets forth related claims of
breach of fiduciary duty, fraud and for reformation, an accounting and imposition of a constructive
trust. Plaintiffs seek compensatory damages in excess of $150 million, unspecified punitive
damages, and other relief. The Company intends to defend against this lawsuit vigorously.
AOL Europe Services SARL (AOL Luxembourg), a wholly owned subsidiary of AOL organized under
the laws of Luxembourg, has received two separate assessments from the French tax authorities for
French value added tax (VAT) related to AOL Luxembourgs subscription revenues from French
subscribers. The first assessment, received on December 27, 2006, relates to subscription revenues
earned during the period from July 1, 2003 through December 31, 2003, and the second assessment,
received on December 5, 2007, relates to subscription revenues earned during the period from
January 1, 2004 through December 31, 2004. Together, the assessments, including interest accrued
through the respective assessment dates, total 94 million (approximately $149 million based on the
exchange rate as of March 31, 2008). The French tax authorities assert that the French subscriber
revenues are subject to French VAT, instead of Luxembourg VAT, as originally reported and paid by
AOL Luxembourg. AOL Luxembourg could receive similar assessments from the French tax authorities in
the future for subscription revenues earned in 2005 through 2006. The Company is currently
appealing these assessments at the French VAT audit level and intends to defend against these
assessments vigorously.
On August 30, 2007, eight years after the case was initially filed, the Supreme Court of the
Republic of Indonesia overturned the rulings of two lower courts and issued a judgment against Time
Inc. Asia and six journalists in the matter of H.M. Suharto v. Time Inc. Asia et al. The underlying
libel lawsuit was filed in July 1999 by the former dictator of Indonesia following the publication
of TIME magazines May 24, 1999 cover story Suharto Inc. Following a trial in the Spring of 2000,
a three-judge panel of an Indonesian court found in favor of Time Inc. and the journalists, and
that decision was affirmed by an intermediate appellate court in March 2001. The courts August 30,
2007 decision reversed those prior determinations and ordered defendants to, among other things,
apologize for certain aspects of the May 1999 article and
pay Mr. Suharto damages in the amount of one trillion rupiah (approximately $109 million based
on the exchange rate as of March 31, 2008). The Company continues to defend this matter vigorously
and has challenged the judgment by filing a petition for review with the Supreme Court of the
Republic of Indonesia on February 21, 2008. Mr. Suhartos heirs opposed this petition in a filing
made on or about April 4, 2008. The Company does not believe it is likely that efforts to enforce
such judgment within Indonesia, or in those jurisdictions outside of Indonesia in which the Company
has substantial assets, would result in any material loss to the Company. Consequently, no loss has
been accrued for this matter as of March 31, 2008. Moreover, the Company believes that insurance
coverage is available for the judgment, were it to be sustained and, eventually, enforced.
On September 20, 2007, Brantley, et al. v. NBC Universal, Inc., et al. was filed in the U.S.
District Court for the Central District of California against the Company and TWC. The complaint,
which also named as defendants several other programming content providers (collectively, the
programmer defendants) as well as other cable and satellite providers (collectively, the
distributor defendants), alleged violations of Sections 1 and 2 of the Sherman Antitrust Act.
Among other things, the complaint alleged coordination between and among the programmer defendants
to sell and/or license programming on a bundled basis to the distributor defendants, who in turn
purportedly offer that programming to subscribers in packaged tiers, rather than on a per channel
(or à la carte) basis. Plaintiffs, who seek to represent a purported nationwide class of cable
and satellite subscribers, demand, among other things, unspecified treble monetary damages and an
injunction to compel the offering of channels to subscribers on an à la carte basis. On December
3, 2007, plaintiffs filed an amended complaint in this action (the First Amended Complaint) that,
among other things, dropped the Section 2 claims and all allegations of horizontal coordination. On
December 21, 2007, the programmer defendants,
44

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
including the Company, and the distributor defendants, including TWC, filed motions to dismiss the
First Amended Complaint. On March 10, 2008, the court granted these motions, dismissing the First
Amended Complaint with leave to amend. On March 20, 2008, plaintiffs filed a second amended
complaint (the Second Amended Complaint) that modified certain aspects of the First Amended
Complaint in an attempt to address the deficiencies noted by the court in its prior dismissal
order. On April 22, 2008, the programmer defendants, including the Company, and the distributor
defendants, including TWC, filed motions to dismiss the Second Amended Complaint. The Company
intends to defend against this lawsuit vigorously.
On April 4, 2007, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) issued a complaint against CNN
America Inc. (CNN America) and Team Video Services, LLC (Team Video). This administrative
proceeding relates to CNN Americas December 2003 and January 2004 terminations of its contractual
relationships with Team Video, under which Team Video had provided electronic newsgathering
services in Washington, DC and New York, NY. The National Association of Broadcast Employees and
Technicians, under which Team Videos employees were unionized, initially filed charges of unfair
labor practices with the NLRB in February 2004, alleging that CNN America and Team Video were joint
employers, that CNN America was a successor employer to Team Video, and/or that CNN America
discriminated in its hiring practices to avoid becoming a successor employer or due to specific
individuals union affiliation or activities. The NLRB investigated the charges and issued the
above-noted complaint. The complaint seeks, among other things, the reinstatement of certain union
members and monetary damages. A hearing in the matter before an NLRB Administrative Law Judge began
on December 3, 2007. The Company intends to defend against this matter vigorously.
From time to time, the Company receives notices from third parties claiming that it infringes
their intellectual property rights. Claims of intellectual property infringement could require Time
Warner to enter into royalty or licensing agreements on unfavorable terms, incur substantial
monetary liability or be enjoined preliminarily or permanently from further use of the intellectual
property in question. In addition, certain agreements entered into by the Company may require the
Company to indemnify the other party for certain third-party intellectual property infringement
claims, which could increase the Companys damages and its costs of defending against such claims.
Even if the claims are without merit, defending against the claims can be time-consuming and
costly.
The costs and other effects of pending or future litigation, governmental investigations,
legal and administrative cases and proceedings (whether civil or criminal), settlements, judgments
and investigations, claims and changes in those matters (including those matters described above),
and developments or assertions by or against the Company relating to
intellectual property rights and intellectual property licenses, could have a material adverse
effect on the Companys business, financial condition and operating results.
Income Tax Uncertainties
During the three months ended March 31, 2008, the Company recorded additional income tax
reserves of approximately $140 million, including reserves attributable to uncertainties associated
with the utilization of certain state and local tax attributes and taxes on foreign remittances.
Of the $140 million additional income tax reserves, approximately $90 million would affect
the Companys effective tax rate if reversed.

TIME WARNER INC.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Overview
TW AOL Holdings Inc, Historic TW Inc., Time Warner Companies, Inc. and Turner Broadcasting
System, Inc. (collectively, the Guarantor Subsidiaries) are wholly owned subsidiaries of Time
Warner Inc. (the Parent Company). The Guarantor Subsidiaries have fully and unconditionally,
jointly and severally, directly or indirectly, guaranteed, on an unsecured basis, the debt issued
by the Parent Company in its November 2006 public offering.
The Securities and Exchange Commissions rules require that condensed consolidating financial
information be provided 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 are
condensed consolidating financial statements presenting the financial position, results of
operations, and cash flows of (i) the Parent Company, (ii) the Guarantor Subsidiaries on a combined
basis (as such guarantees are joint and several), (iii) the direct and indirect non-guarantor
subsidiaries of the Parent Company (the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries) on a combined basis and (iv)
the eliminations necessary to arrive at the information for Time Warner Inc. on a consolidated
basis.
There are no legal or regulatory restrictions on the Parent Companys 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 Inc.
Basis of Presentation
In presenting the condensed consolidating financial statements, the equity method of
accounting has been applied to (i) the Parent Companys interests in the Guarantor Subsidiaries and
(ii) the Guarantor Subsidiaries interests in the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries, where applicable,
even though all such subsidiaries meet the requirements to be consolidated under U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles. All inter-company balances and transactions between the Parent
Company, the Guarantor Subsidiaries and the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries have been eliminated, as
shown in the column Eliminations.
The Parent Companys accounting bases in all subsidiaries, including goodwill and identified
intangible assets, have been pushed down to the applicable subsidiaries. Interest income
(expense) is determined based on third-party debt and the relevant intercompany amounts within the
respective legal entity.
All direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries are included in Time Warner Inc.s consolidated
U.S. tax return. In the condensed consolidating financial statements, tax expense has been
allocated based on each such subsidiarys relative pretax income to the consolidated pretax
income. With respect to the use of certain consolidated tax attributes (principally operating and
capital loss carryforwards), such benefits have been allocated to the respective subsidiary that
generated the taxable income permitting such use (i.e., pro-rata based on where the income was
generated). For example, to the extent a Non-Guarantor Subsidiary generated a gain on the sale of a
business for which the Parent Company utilized tax attributes to offset such gain, the tax
attribute benefit would be allocated to that Non-Guarantor Subsidiary. Deferred taxes of the Parent
Company, the Guarantor Subsidiaries and the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries have been allocated based
upon the temporary differences between the carrying amounts of the respective assets and
liabilities of the applicable entities.
Corporate overhead expenses have been reflected as expenses of the Parent Company and have not
been allocated to the Guarantor Subsidiaries or the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries.

Part II. Other Information
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
Securities Matters
Reference is made to the consolidated ERISA class action lawsuits described on page 50 of the
2007 Form 10-K. The matter of the appeal filed on November 26, 2007 by two of the lead plaintiffs
challenging the amount of their incentive awards was remanded to the district court upon
stipulation of the parties in January 2008, and resolved by order of the district court dated April
9, 2008. The time to appeal that order has not yet expired.
Other Matters
Reference is made to the lawsuit filed by certain heirs of Jerome Siegel relating to the
Superman character described on page 52 of the 2007 Form 10-K. On March 26, 2008, the court entered
an order of summary judgment finding, among other things, that plaintiffs notices of termination
were valid and that plaintiffs had thereby recaptured, as of April 16, 1999, their rights to a
one-half interest in the Superman story material, as first published, but that the accounting for
profits would not include profits attributable to foreign exploitation, republication of
pre-termination works and trademark exploitation. The remaining issues in the case are scheduled
for trial starting in November 2008.
Reference is made to the lawsuit filed by certain heirs of Jerome Siegel relating to the
Superboy character described on page 52 of the 2007 Form 10-K. On March 31, 2008, the court, among
other things, denied the Companys motion for summary judgment on non-infringement of Smallville as
moot in view of the courts ruling on July 27, 2007, which granted the Companys motion for
reconsideration of a prior decision granting plaintiffs motion for partial summary judgment on
termination.
Reference is made to the lawsuit filed by Hallisey et al. described on pages 52-53 of the 2007
Form 10-K. On February 21, 2008, the court granted plaintiffs motion to issue notice to the former
community leaders nationwide.
Reference is made to the lawsuit filed by Andrew Parker and Eric DeBrauwere, et al. described
on page 53 of the 2007 Form 10-K. The parties have reached a revised settlement and submitted
their agreement to the district court on April 2, 2008. The revised settlement is subject to
preliminary and final approval by the district court; there can be no assurance that the settlement
will receive either approval.
Reference is made to the lawsuit filed by H.M. Suharto described on pages 54-55 of the 2007
Form 10-K. In a filing made on or about April 4, 2008, Mr. Suhartos heirs opposed the Companys
petition for review filed with the Supreme Court of the Republic of Indonesia on February 21, 2008.
Reference is made to the lawsuit filed by Brantley, et al. described on page 55 of the 2007
Form 10-K. On March 10, 2008, the court granted, with leave to amend, the defendants motions to
dismiss the plaintiffs amended complaint (the First Amended Complaint). On March 20, 2008,
plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint (the Second Amended Complaint) that modified certain
aspects of the First Amended Complaint in an attempt to address the deficiencies noted by the court
in its prior dismissal order. On April 22, 2008, the programmer defendants, including the Company,
and the distributor defendants, including TWC, filed motions to dismiss the Second Amended
Complaint.

number of shares of Common Stock purchased by the Company in connection with the vesting of
such awards totaled 0 shares, 312,159 shares and 0 shares, respectively, for the months of

|
On August 1, 2007, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had authorized
a stock repurchase program that allows Time Warner to repurchase, from time to time, up to $5
billion of Common Stock (the Stock Repurchase Program). 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. |

|
This amount does not reflect the fees, commissions and other costs associated with
the Stock Repurchase Program. |
