MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION – (Continued)
OVERVIEW
     Time Warner is a leading media and entertainment company whose major businesses encompass an array of the most respected and successful media brands. Among the Company’s brands are TNT, TBS, CNN, HBO, Cinemax, Warner Bros., New Line Cinema, People, Sports Illustrated and Time. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company generated revenues of $6.683 billion (up 6% from $6.322 billion in 2010), Operating Income of $1.270 billion (down 13% from $1.463 billion in 2010), Net Income attributable to Time Warner shareholders of $653 million (down 10% from $725 million in 2010) and Cash Provided by Operations from Continuing Operations of $825 million (down 39% from $1.356 billion in 2010).
Time Warner Businesses
     Time Warner classifies its operations into three reportable segments: Networks, Filmed Entertainment and Publishing. For additional information regarding Time Warner’s business segments, refer to Note 11, “Segment Information,” in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
     Networks. Time Warner’s Networks segment consists of Turner Broadcasting System, Inc. (“Turner”) and Home Box Office, Inc. (“Home Box Office”). During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Networks segment generated revenues of $3.496 billion (52% of the Company’s overall revenues) and $1.162 billion in Operating Income.
     Turner operates domestic and international networks, including such recognized brands as TNT, TBS, and CNN, which are among the leaders in advertising-supported cable television networks. The Turner networks generate revenues principally from providing programming to affiliates that have contracted to receive and distribute this programming and from the sale of advertising. Turner also operates various websites, including CartoonNetwork.com, CNN.com, Golf.com NASCAR.com, NCAA.com and SI.com that generate revenues principally from the sale of advertising. During the first quarter of 2011, as part of a 14-year arrangement with CBS Broadcasting, Inc. (“CBS”) and The National Collegiate Athletic Association, Turner and CBS began jointly producing and distributing the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Championship events (the “NCAA Tournament”) and related programming across television, Internet and wireless platforms. The events were televised on Turner’s TNT, TBS and truTV networks and on the CBS network.
     Home Box Office operates the HBO and Cinemax multi-channel premium pay television services, with the HBO service ranking as the most widely distributed domestic premium pay television service. Home Box Office generates revenues principally from providing programming to affiliates that have contracted to receive and distribute such programming to their customers who choose to subscribe to the HBO or Cinemax services. An additional source of revenues for Home Box Office is the sale and licensing of its original programming, including The Pacific, Sex and the City, True Blood and Boardwalk Empire. On May 2, 2011, Home Box Office launched HBO GO, its authenticated online video service, on mobile devices including the iPad, iPhone and Android smart phones. HBO GO was available to approximately 80% of HBO’s domestic subscriber base as of May 2, 2011.
     The Company’s Networks segment has been pursuing international expansion in select areas for the past several years. During the first quarter of 2011, Home Box Office purchased an additional 8% equity interest in HBO Latin America Group, consisting of HBO Brazil, HBO Olé and HBO Latin America Production Services (collectively, “HBO LAG”), resulting in Home Box Office owning 88% of the equity interests in HBO LAG. The investment in HBO LAG is accounted for under the equity method of accounting, because control of the entity is shared with the remaining minority partner. The Company anticipates that international expansion will continue to be an area of focus at the Networks segment for the foreseeable future.
     Filmed Entertainment. Time Warner’s Filmed Entertainment segment consists of businesses managed by the Warner Bros. Entertainment Group (“Warner Bros.”) that principally produce and distribute theatrical motion pictures, including the Harry Potter franchise, Inception and Clash of the Titans, as well as television shows and videogames. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Filmed Entertainment segment generated revenues of $2.604 billion (36% of the Company’s overall revenues) and $158 million in Operating Income.
     The Filmed Entertainment segment’s theatrical product revenues are generated principally through rentals from theatrical exhibition and subsequently through licensing fees received for the distribution of films on television networks

and pay television programming services. Television product revenues are generated principally from the licensing of the Filmed Entertainment segment’s programs on television networks and pay television programming services. The Filmed Entertainment segment also generates revenues for both its theatrical and television product through home video distribution on DVD and Blu-ray Discs and in various digital formats. In addition, the Filmed Entertainment segment generates revenues through the distribution of interactive videogames.
     Warner Bros. continues to be an industry leader in the television content business. At the beginning of the 2010-2011 broadcast season, Warner Bros. produced more than 30 scripted primetime series, with at least two series for each of the five broadcast networks (including Two and a Half Men, The Mentalist, The Big Bang Theory, Mike & Molly, Gossip Girl, Fringe, The Middle and Chuck) and original series for several cable networks (including The Closer, Rizzoli & Isles and Pretty Little Liars). Internationally, Warner Bros. is forming a group of local television production companies in major territories with a focus on non-scripted programs and formats that can be sold internationally and adapted for sale in the U.S. Warner Bros. is also creating locally produced versions of programs owned by the studio and is developing original local television programming.
     The distribution of DVDs has been one of the largest drivers of the segment’s revenues and profits over the last several years. However, in recent years, home video revenues have declined as a result of several factors, including consumers shifting to subscription rental services and discount rental kiosks, which generate significantly less revenue per transaction for the Company than DVD sales, the general economic downturn in the U.S. and many regions around the world, increasing competition for consumer discretionary time and spending, piracy, and the maturation of the standard definition DVD format. Partially offsetting the softening consumer demand for standard definition DVDs and the shift to subscription services and kiosks are growing sales of high definition Blu-ray Discs and increased sales through electronic delivery (particularly video-on-demand), which have higher gross margins than standard definition DVDs.
     Publishing. Time Warner’s Publishing segment consists principally of magazine publishing and related websites as well as marketing services and direct-marketing businesses that are all primarily conducted by Time Inc. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Publishing segment generated revenues of $798 million (12% of the Company’s overall revenues) and $63 million in Operating Income.
     As of March 31, 2011, Time Inc. published 22 magazines in the U.S., including People, Sports Illustrated and Time, and over 70 magazines outside the U.S. The Publishing segment generates revenues primarily from the sale of print advertising, magazine subscriptions and newsstand sales. For the three months ended March 31, 2011, digital Advertising revenues were 13% of Time Inc.’s total Advertising revenues.
     In its ongoing effort to improve efficiency and reduce its cost structure, the Publishing segment executed restructuring initiatives, primarily relating to headcount reductions, in the fourth quarter of 2010, which benefitted the segment’s performance during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and are expected to benefit the segment’s performance during the remainder of 2011.
Recent Developments
2011 Debt Offering
     On April 1, 2011, Time Warner issued $2.0 billion aggregate principal amount of debt securities from its shelf registration statement. The net proceeds of the offering will be used for general corporate purposes. See “Financial Condition and Liquidity – Outstanding Debt and Other Financing Arrangements” for more information.

Consolidated Results
     The following discussion provides an analysis of the Company’s results of operations and should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.
     Revenues. The components of revenues are as follows (millions):
                     
    Three Months Ended March 31,
    2011   2010   % Change
 
                   
Subscription
  $ 2,368    $ 2,212    7%
Advertising
    1,431      1,192    20%
Content
    2,733      2,793    (2%)
Other
    151      125    21%
 
           
Total revenues
  $ 6,683    $ 6,322    6%
 
           
     The increase in Subscription revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was primarily related to an increase at the Networks segment. Advertising revenues increased for the three months ended March 31, 2011 primarily reflecting growth at the Networks segment. The decrease in Content revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was due primarily to a decrease at the Filmed Entertainment segment and higher intercompany eliminations, partially offset by an increase at the Networks segment.
     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, 2011 and 2010, costs of revenues totaled $3.727 billion and $3.353 billion, respectively, and, as a percentage of revenues, were 56% and 53%, respectively. The segment variations are discussed in “Business Segment Results.”
     Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. For the three months ended March 31, 2011, selling, general and administrative expenses increased 7% to $1.591 billion from $1.488 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2010 primarily due to an increase at the Networks segment. The segment variations are discussed in “Business Segment Results.”
     Included in costs of revenues and selling, general and administrative expenses is depreciation expense of $163 million and $164 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
     Amortization Expense. Amortization expense was $68 million for both the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.
     Restructuring and Severance Costs. For the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company incurred restructuring and severance costs of $30 million primarily related to employee terminations and other exit activities, consisting of $12

million at the Networks segment, $6 million at the Filmed Entertainment segment and $12 million at the Publishing segment.
     For the three months ended March 31, 2010, the Company incurred restructuring and severance costs of $9 million primarily related to employee terminations and other exit activities, consisting of $4 million at the Filmed Entertainment segment and $5 million at the Publishing segment.
     Operating Income. Operating Income decreased to $1.270 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2011 from $1.463 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2010. Excluding the items previously noted under “Significant Transactions and Other Items Affecting Comparability” totaling $5 million of expense and $48 million of income for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, Operating Income decreased $140 million, primarily reflecting a decrease at the Filmed Entertainment segment, partially offset by increases at the Networks and Publishing segments. The segment variations are discussed under “Business Segment Results.”
     Interest Expense, Net. For the three months ended March 31, 2011, interest expense, net, decreased to $274 million from $296 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010 primarily due to lower rates on fixed rate debt and to interest income recognized on amounts held in escrow in connection with a dispute that has been resolved.
     Other Loss, Net. Other loss, net detail is shown in the table below (millions):
                 
    Three Months Ended March 31,
    2011     2010  
 
               
Investment gains (losses), net
  $ 4     $ (3 )
Amounts related to the separation of TWC

Premiums paid and transaction costs incurred in connection with debt redemption

Loss from equity method investees
    (18 )     -  
Other
    (4 )     8  
 
       
Other loss, net
  $ (14 )   $ (53 )
 
       
     The changes in other loss, net related to investment gains (losses), net, amounts related to the separation of TWC and premiums paid and transaction costs incurred in connection with debt redemptions are discussed under “Significant Transactions and Other Items Affecting Comparability.” The remaining change was due primarily to losses from equity method investees for the three months ended March 31, 2011.
     Income Tax Provision. Income tax expense decreased to $331 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 from $389 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The Company’s effective tax rate for continuing operations was 34% for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to 35% for three months ended March 31, 2010. This decrease was primarily due to lower state taxes.
     Net Income. Net income decreased to $651 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 from $725 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. Excluding the items previously noted under “Significant Transactions and Other Items Affecting Comparability” totaling $6 million and $10 million of income, net for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, net income decreased by $70 million, primarily reflecting lower Operating Income, partially offset by decreases in income tax and interest expense.
     Net Loss Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests. For the three months ended March 31, 2011 net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests was $2 million.
     Net Income Attributable to Time Warner Inc. Shareholders. Net income attributable to Time Warner Inc. shareholders was $653 million and $725 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Basic and diluted net income per common share attributable to Time Warner Inc. common shareholders were both $0.59 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to $0.63 and $0.62, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2010.

     The increase in Subscription revenues consisted of an increase in domestic subscription revenues of $121 million, mainly due to higher domestic subscription rates, and an increase in international subscription revenues of $46 million due to international expansion and growth.
     The increase in Advertising revenues reflected domestic growth of $191 million mainly as a result of Turner airing the NCAA Tournament as well as higher pricing. International advertising revenues increased $51 million primarily due to international expansion.
     The increase in Content revenues was due primarily to higher sales of Home Box Office’s original programming of $92 million, which included licensing and home video sales of The Pacific, Sex and the City and Boardwalk Empire, partially offset by the prior year domestic basic cable television sale of Entourage.
     Costs of revenues increased 33% and, as a percentage of revenues, were 47% for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to 42% for the three months ended March 31, 2010. Programming costs increased 37% to $1.282 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2011 from $933 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, primarily due to higher sports programming costs related to the NCAA Tournament and, to a lesser extent, higher original programming and licensed programming costs. The increases in Costs of revenues also reflected higher operating costs of $64 million primarily related to both higher distribution costs associated with the increase in sales of Home Box Office’s original programming and higher costs related to international expansion and growth.
     Selling, general and administrative expenses increased due primarily to higher marketing expenses and higher costs associated with international expansion and growth.
     As previously noted under “Significant Transactions and Other Items Affecting Comparability,” the 2010 results included a $59 million gain that was recognized upon the Company’s acquisition of the controlling interest in HBO CE, reflecting the excess of the fair value over the Company’s carrying costs of its original investment in HBO CE.
     Operating Income decreased primarily due to higher costs of revenues and selling, general and administrative expenses as well as the absence in 2011 of the $59 million gain relating to HBO CE, partially offset by higher revenues.

     Theatrical film revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2011, which included the releases of Unknown, The Rite and Hall Pass and carryover revenues from Yogi Bear, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I and Hereafter, decreased compared to revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2010, which included the releases of Valentine’s Day and The Book of Eli and carryover revenues from Sherlock Holmes and The Blind Side.
     Theatrical product revenues from home video and electronic delivery decreased due primarily to a significant decrease in the quantity and mix of new releases in 2011. There were five releases in the first quarter of 2011 and eleven in the first quarter of 2010. Significant titles for the first quarter of 2011 included Due Date, Life As We Know It and Yogi Bear, while titles for the first quarter of 2010 included The Blind Side, Sherlock Holmes, Where the Wild Things Are, The Final Destination and The Time Traveler’s Wife.

     Theatrical product revenues from television licensing decreased due primarily to the quantity and mix of availabilities in the first quarter of 2011 compared to the first quarter of 2010, which included Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.
     The increase in television product licensing fees for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was due primarily to higher revenues from network deliveries of new series, the domestic off-network syndication sale of Two and a Half Men and the timing and number of international availabilities.
     Television product revenues from home video and electronic delivery decreased due to the timing and mix of product.
     Other content revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2011 increased primarily due to the interactive videogame release of LEGO Star Wars III: The Clone Wars, partially offset by lower interactive videogame carryover revenues.
     The increase in costs of revenues resulted primarily from higher film costs due mainly to the quantity and mix of product released. Film costs increased to $1.147 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2011 from $1.133 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2010. Costs of revenues as a percentage of revenues were 72% for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to 69% for the three months ended March 31, 2010. This percentage varies from period to period based on the quantity, mix and timing of theatrical and television product.
     The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily due to merit-based increases in compensation and higher employee-related costs as a result of international expansion.
     The Filmed Entertainment segment incurred $6 million of restructuring and severance costs for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and expects to incur additional restructuring and severance costs of approximately $50 million in the remainder of the year, the majority of which is expected to be incurred in the second and third quarters of 2011.
     The decrease in Operating Income was primarily due to lower revenues and higher selling, general and administrative expenses and costs of revenues.
     Publishing. Revenues and Operating Income of the Publishing segment for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 are as follows (millions):

     For the three months ended March 31, 2011, subscription revenues decreased primarily due to lower international revenues of $9 million due in part to the disposal by sale of certain magazines at IPC in the fourth quarter of 2010 (the “IPC Sales”) and lower domestic subscription and newsstand revenues.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION – (Continued)
     Advertising revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2011 were essentially flat primarily due to a $10 million increase in domestic print advertising revenues offset by the negative impact on digital advertising revenues related to the transfer of management of SI.com and Golf.com to Turner in the fourth quarter of 2010 and the IPC Sales. Excluding the impact of the transfer of SI.com and Golf.com, digital advertising revenues at the Publishing segment increased compared to the prior year quarter. This transfer had a commensurate increase in digital advertising revenues at the Networks segment.
     The increase in Other revenues was due primarily to a license fee for SI.com and Golf.com received from Turner following the transfer of the websites’ management to Turner.
     Costs of revenues increased 2% and, as a percentage of revenues, were 39% for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to 38% for the three months ended March 31, 2010. Costs of revenues for the magazine and digital businesses include manufacturing costs (paper, printing and distribution) and editorial-related costs, which together were $275 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and $274 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010.
     Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2011 decreased due primarily to lower pension expenses and lower costs due to the restructuring initiatives in the fourth quarter of 2010.
     Operating Income increased due primarily to the decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses, partially offset by higher restructuring and severance costs.
     Corporate. Operating Loss of the Corporate segment for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 was as follows (millions):

     Operating Loss decreased compared to the prior year due primarily to lower legal and other professional fees related to the defense of former employees in various lawsuits and the absence of prior year severance charges.
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY
     Management believes that cash generated by or available to the Company should be sufficient to fund its capital and liquidity needs for the foreseeable future, including quarterly dividend payments, the purchase of common stock under the Company’s repurchase program and scheduled debt repayments. Time Warner’s sources of cash include cash provided by operations, cash and equivalents on hand, available borrowing capacity under its committed credit facilities and commercial paper program and access to capital markets. Time Warner’s unused committed capacity at March 31, 2011 was $8.080 billion, which included $3.029 billion of cash and equivalents. The Company anticipates its consolidated leverage ratio will move closer to its stated target during 2011.
Current Financial Condition
     At March 31, 2011, Time Warner had $16.563 billion of debt, $3.029 billion of cash and equivalents (net debt, defined as total debt less cash and equivalents, of $13.534 billion) and $32.237 billion of shareholders’ equity, compared to $16.549 billion of debt, $3.663 billion of cash and equivalents (net debt of $12.886 billion) and $32.940 billion of shareholders’ equity at December 31, 2010.

     On January 25, 2011, Time Warner’s Board of Directors increased the amount remaining on the Company’s common stock repurchase program to $5.0 billion for share repurchases beginning January 1, 2011. 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 are based on a number of factors, including price and business and market conditions. From January 1, 2011 through April 29, 2011, the Company repurchased approximately 37 million shares of common stock for approximately $1.317 billion pursuant to trading programs under Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).
Cash Flows
     Cash and equivalents decreased by $634 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and increased by $434 million, including $23 million of cash used by discontinued operations, for the three months ended March 31, 2010. Components of these changes are discussed below in more detail.
Operating Activities from Continuing Operations
     Details of cash provided by operations from continuing operations are as follows (millions):

(a)  
Includes cash interest received of $5 million for both the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.
 
(b)  
Includes income tax refunds received of $4 million and $8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
     Cash provided by operations from continuing operations decreased to $825 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 from $1.356 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The decrease in cash provided by operations from continuing operations was related primarily to cash used by working capital, lower Operating Income, higher net interest payments and higher net income taxes paid. Working capital is 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 Company anticipates that cash used by working capital in 2011 will increase over 2010 primarily due to higher investments in television programming and film production.

The decrease was primarily the result of fewer investments and acquisitions, partially offset by higher capital expenditures.

The increase in cash used by financing activities from continuing operations was primarily due to a decrease in net borrowings and an increase in repurchases of common stock made in connection with the Company’s common stock repurchase program, partially offset by higher proceeds from the exercise of stock options.
Cash Flows from Discontinued Operations
     Cash used by discontinued operations was $23 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010.
Outstanding Debt and Other Financing Arrangements
Outstanding Debt and Committed Financial Capacity

(a)   The revolving bank credit agreement, commercial paper program and public debt of the Company rank pari passu with the senior debt of the respective obligors thereon. The maturity profile of the Company’s outstanding debt and other financing arrangements is relatively long-term, with a weighted average maturity of 14.5 years as of March 31, 2011.
 
(b)   Represents the portion of committed capacity, including from bilateral letter of credit facilities, reserved for outstanding and undrawn letters of credit.

(d)   Unused committed capacity includes committed financings of subsidiaries under local bank credit agreements. Other debt obligations totaling $28 million are due within the next twelve months.
2011 Debt Offering
     On April 1, 2011, Time Warner issued $2.0 billion aggregate principal amount of debt securities from its shelf registration statement, consisting of $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of 4.75% Notes due 2021 and $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of 6.25% Debentures due 2041 (the “April 2011 Debt Offering”). The net proceeds of the offering will be used for general corporate purposes.
Revolving Bank Credit Facilities
     The Company has two senior unsecured revolving bank credit facilities totaling $5.0 billion (the “Revolving Credit Facilities”), consisting of a $2.5 billion three-year revolving credit facility that matures on January 19, 2014 and a $2.5 billion five-year revolving credit facility that matures on January 19, 2016 pursuant to a credit agreement dated as of January 19, 2011.
     The funding commitments under the Revolving Credit Facilities are provided by a geographically diverse group of over 20 major financial institutions based in countries including Canada, France, Germany, Japan, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the U.S. No institution accounts for more than 7% of the aggregate undrawn loan commitments.
Commercial Paper Program
     The Company has a commercial paper program, which was established on February 16, 2011 on a private placement basis, under which Time Warner may issue unsecured commercial paper notes up to a maximum aggregate amount outstanding at any time of $5.0 billion.
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 $4.7 billion and $5.2 billion at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. Included in these amounts is licensing of film product from the Filmed Entertainment segment to the Networks segment in the amount of $1.3 billion at both March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

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 television networks, filmed entertainment and publishing. Time Warner classifies its operations into three reportable segments: Networks: consisting principally of cable television networks that provide programming; Filmed Entertainment: consisting principally of feature film, television, home video and interactive game production and distribution; and Publishing: consisting principally of magazine publishing. Financial information for Time Warner’s various reportable segments is presented in Note 11.
Basis of Presentation
Interim Financial Statements
     The consolidated financial statements are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, they contain all of 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 U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) applicable to interim periods. The consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of Time Warner included in the Company’s Annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 (the “2010 Form 10-K”).
Basis of Consolidation
     The consolidated financial statements include all of the assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and cash flows of entities in which Time Warner has a controlling interest (“subsidiaries”). 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. Translation gains or losses of assets and liabilities are included in the consolidated statement of shareholders’ equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income, net.
Use of Estimates
     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
     Significant estimates and judgments inherent in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements include accounting for asset impairments, allowances for doubtful accounts, depreciation and amortization, the determination of ultimate revenues as it relates to amortized capitalized film and programming costs and participations and residuals, home video and interactive games product and magazine returns, business combinations, pension and other postretirement benefits, equity-based compensation, income taxes, contingencies, litigation matters and the determination of whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of entities in which it holds variable interests.
2.   FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
     A fair value measurement is determined based on the assumptions that a market participant would use in pricing an asset or liability. A three-tiered hierarchy draws distinctions 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 tables present

     Assets and liabilities valued using significant unobservable inputs primarily consist of an asset related to equity instruments held by employees of a former subsidiary of the Company and liabilities for contingent consideration and options to redeem securities.
     The Company primarily applies the market approach for valuing recurring fair value measurements.
     The following table reconciles the beginning and ending balances of net assets and liabilities classified as Level 3 and identifies the total gains (losses) the Company recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, on such assets and liabilities that were included in the balance as of March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively (millions):

Other Financial Instruments
     The Company’s other financial instruments, including debt, are not required to be carried at fair value. Based on the interest rates prevailing at March 31, 2011, the fair value of Time Warner’s debt exceeded its carrying value by approximately $1.600 billion and, based on interest rates prevailing at December 31, 2010, the fair value of Time Warner’s debt exceeded its carrying value by approximately $2.269 billion. Unrealized gains or losses on debt do not result in the realization or expenditure of cash and generally are not recognized in the consolidated financial statements unless the debt

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)
is retired prior to its maturity. The carrying value for the majority of the Company’s other financial instruments approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of the financial instruments or because the financial instruments are of a longer-term nature and are recorded on a discounted basis. For the remainder of the Company’s other financial instruments, differences between the carrying value and fair value are not significant at March 31, 2011. The fair value of financial instruments is generally determined by reference to the market value of the instrument as quoted on a national securities exchange or an over-the-counter market. In cases where a quoted market value is not available, fair value is based on an estimate using present value or other valuation techniques.
Non-Financial Instruments
     The majority of the Company’s non-financial instruments, which include goodwill, intangible assets, inventories and property, plant and equipment, are not required to be carried at fair value on a recurring basis. However, if certain triggering events occur (or at least annually for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets) such that a non-financial instrument is required to be evaluated for impairment, a resulting asset impairment would require that the non-financial instrument be recorded at the lower of cost or its fair value.
     In determining the fair value of its films, the Company employs a discounted cash flow (“DCF”) methodology with assumptions for cash flows for periods not exceeding 10 years. Key inputs employed in the DCF methodology include estimates of a film’s ultimate revenue and costs as well as a discount rate. The discount rate utilized in the DCF analysis is based on the weighted average cost of capital of the respective business (e.g., Warner Bros.) plus a risk premium representing the risk associated with producing a particular film. The fair value of any film costs associated with a film that management plans to abandon is zero. As the primary determination of fair value is determined using a DCF model, the resulting fair value is considered a Level 3 measurement. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, certain film costs, which were recorded as inventory in the consolidated balance sheet, were completely written off from their carrying value of $5 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2010, there were no film production costs that were required to be written down.

4.   DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
     Time Warner uses derivative instruments, principally forward contracts, to manage the risk associated with the volatility of future cash flows denominated in foreign currencies and changes in fair value resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The principal currencies being hedged include the British Pound, Euro, Australian Dollar and Canadian Dollar. Time Warner uses foreign exchange contracts that generally have maturities of three to 18 months to hedge various foreign exchange exposures, including the following: (i) variability in foreign-currency-denominated cash flows, such as the hedges of unremitted or forecasted royalty and license fees owed to Time Warner domestic companies for the sale or anticipated sale of U.S. copyrighted products abroad or cash flows for certain film production costs denominated in a foreign currency (i.e., cash flow hedges) and (ii) currency risk associated with foreign-currency-denominated operating assets and liabilities (i.e., fair value hedges). For these qualifying hedge relationships, the Company excludes the impact of forward points from its assessment of hedge effectiveness. As a result, changes in the fair value of forward points are recorded in other loss, net in the consolidated statement of operations each quarter.
     The Company also enters into derivative contracts that economically hedge certain of its foreign currency risks, even though hedge accounting does not apply or the Company elects not to apply hedge accounting. These economic hedges are used primarily to offset the change in certain foreign currency denominated long-term receivables and certain foreign-currency-denominated debt due to changes in the underlying foreign exchange rates.
     Gains and losses from hedging activities recognized in the consolidated statement of operations, including hedge ineffectiveness, were not material for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010. In addition, such gains and losses were largely offset by corresponding economic gains or losses from the respective transactions that were hedged.
     The following is a summary of amounts recorded in the consolidated balance sheet pertaining to Time Warner’s use of foreign currency derivatives at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 (millions):
                   
            December 31,
    March 31, 2011   2010
Qualifying Hedges
               
Assets
  $           106     $           86  
Liabilities
    (110 )     (79 )
 
               
Economic Hedges
               
Assets
  $           8     $           17  
Liabilities
            (47 )             (27 )
     The Company monitors its positions with, and the credit quality of, the financial institutions that are party to its financial transactions. Additionally, netting provisions are included in existing agreements in situations where the Company executes multiple contracts with the same counterparty. As a result, net assets or liabilities resulting from foreign exchange derivatives subject to these netting agreements are classified within prepaid expenses and other current assets or accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. At March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, $14 million and $21 million, respectively, of losses related to cash flow hedges are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and are expected to be recognized in earnings at the same time the hedged items affect earnings. Included in accumulated other comprehensive income are deferred net gains of $24 million and $17 million at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, related to hedges of cash flows associated with films that are not expected to be released within the next twelve months.
5.   LONG-TERM DEBT AND OTHER FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS
Debt Offering
     On April 1, 2011, Time Warner issued $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of 4.75% Notes due 2021 and $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of 6.25% Debentures due 2041 (the “April 2011 Debt Offering”) from its shelf registration statement. The securities issued pursuant to the April 2011 Debt Offering are directly or indirectly guaranteed,

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)
on an unsecured basis, by Historic TW Inc. (“Historic TW”), Home Box Office, Inc. (“Home Box Office”) and Turner Broadcasting System, Inc. (“Turner”).
Revolving Bank Credit Facilities
     The Company has two senior unsecured revolving bank credit facilities totaling $5.0 billion, consisting of a $2.5 billion three-year revolving credit facility (the “Three-Year Revolving Credit Facility”) that matures on January 19, 2014 and a $2.5 billion five-year revolving credit facility (the “Five-Year Revolving Credit Facility” and, together with the Three-Year Revolving Credit Facility, the “Revolving Credit Facilities”) that matures on January 19, 2016 pursuant to a credit agreement dated as of January 19, 2011 (the “Credit Agreement”). The permitted borrowers under the Credit Agreement are Time Warner and Time Warner International Finance Limited (“TWIFL” and together with Time Warner, the “Borrowers”).
     Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facilities bear interest at a rate determined by the debt rating for Time Warner’s senior unsecured long-term debt and the percentage of commitments used under the facility. Based on the debt rating as of March 31, 2011, borrowings under each of the Revolving Credit Facilities would bear interest at a rate equal to LIBOR (TIBOR in the case of yen borrowings) plus 1.25% per annum if the percentage of commitments used under the facility does not exceed 25% or LIBOR (TIBOR in the case of yen borrowings) plus 1.50% per annum if the percentage of commitments used under the facility exceeds 25%. In addition, the Borrowers are required to pay a facility fee on the aggregate commitments under the Revolving Credit Facilities at a rate based on the debt rating for Time Warner’s senior unsecured long-term debt. Based on the debt rating as of March 31, 2011, the facility fee was 0.225% per annum on the aggregate amount of commitments under the Three-Year Revolving Credit Facility and 0.300% per annum on the aggregate amount of commitments under the Five-Year Revolving Credit Facility.
     The Credit Agreement provides same-day funding and multi-currency capability, and a portion of the commitment, not to exceed $500 million at any time, may be used for the issuance of letters of credit. The covenants for the Credit Agreement include a maximum consolidated leverage ratio covenant of 4.5 times the consolidated EBITDA of Time Warner, but excluding any credit ratings-based defaults or covenants or any ongoing covenant or representations specifically relating to a material adverse change in Time Warner’s financial condition or results of operations. The terms and related financial metrics associated with the leverage ratio are defined in the credit agreements. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facilities may be used for general corporate purposes, and unused credit is available to support borrowings by Time Warner under its commercial paper program. The Credit Agreement also contains certain events of default customary for credit facilities of this type (with customary grace periods, as applicable). The Borrowers may from time to time, so long as no default or event of default has occurred and is continuing, increase the commitments under either or both of the Revolving Credit Facilities by up to $500 million per facility by adding new commitments or increasing the commitments of willing lenders. The obligations of each of the Borrowers under the Credit Agreement are directly or indirectly guaranteed, on an unsecured basis by Historic TW, Home Box Office and Turner. The obligations of TWIFL under the New Credit Agreement are also guaranteed by Time Warner.
Commercial Paper Program
     The Company has a commercial paper program, which was established on February 16, 2011 on a private placement basis, under which Time Warner may issue unsecured commercial paper notes up to a maximum aggregate amount outstanding at any time of $5.0 billion (the “CP Program”). Proceeds from the CP Program may be used for general corporate purposes. Commercial paper issued by Time Warner is supported by, and the amount of commercial paper issued may not exceed, the unused committed capacity under the Revolving Credit Facilities. The obligations of the Company under the CP Program are directly or indirectly guaranteed, on an unsecured basis by Historic TW, Home Box Office and Turner.
6.   SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Common Stock Repurchase Program
     On January 25, 2011, Time Warner’s Board of Directors increased the amount remaining on the Company’s common stock repurchase program to $5.0 billion for share repurchases beginning January 1, 2011. Purchases under the stock repurchase program may be made from time to time on the open market and in privately negotiated transactions. The size

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)
and timing of these purchases are based on a number of factors, including price and business and market conditions. From January 1, 2011 through March 31, 2011, the Company repurchased approximately 28 million shares of common stock for approximately $1.000 billion pursuant to trading programs under Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Commitments
Six Flags
     In connection with the Company’s former investment in the Six Flags theme parks located in Georgia and Texas (collectively, the “Parks”), in 1997, certain subsidiaries of the Company (including Historic TW and, in connection with the separation of TWC in 2009, Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc.) agreed to guarantee (the “Six Flags Guarantee”) certain obligations of the partnerships that hold the Parks (the “Partnerships”) for the benefit of the limited partners in such Partnerships, including: annual payments made at the Parks or to the limited partners and additional obligations at the end of the respective terms for the Partnerships in 2027 and 2028 (the “Guaranteed Obligations”). The aggregate undiscounted estimated future cash flow requirements covered by the Six Flags Guarantee over the remaining term (through 2028) are approximately $1.0 billion (for a net present value of approximately $410 million). To date, no payments have been made by the Company pursuant to the Six Flags Guarantee.
     Six Flags Entertainment Corporation (formerly known as Six Flags, Inc. and Premier Parks Inc.) (“Six Flags”), which has the controlling interest in the Parks, has agreed, pursuant to a subordinated indemnity agreement (the “Subordinated Indemnity Agreement”), to guarantee the performance of the Guaranteed Obligations when due and to indemnify Historic TW, among others, if the Six Flags Guarantee is called upon. If Six Flags defaults in its indemnification obligations, Historic TW has the right to acquire control of the managing partner of the Parks. Six Flags’ obligations to Historic TW are further secured by its interest in all limited partnership units held by Six Flags.
     In connection with Six Flags’ emergence from bankruptcy, on April 30, 2010, a Time Warner subsidiary (TW-SF LLC), as lender, entered into a 5-year $150 million multiple draw term facility with certain affiliates of the Partnerships, as borrowers, which can be used only to fund such affiliates’ annual obligations to purchase certain limited partnership units of the Partnerships. Any loan made under the facility will mature 5 years from its respective funding date. No loan was made under the facility in 2010 and none will be made in 2011. The facility will expire on April 30, 2015, unless it terminates earlier upon election by the borrowers or due to the acceleration or certain refinancings of Six Flags’ secured credit facility.
     Because the Six Flags Guarantee existed prior to December 31, 2002 and no modifications to the arrangements have been made since the date the guarantee came into existence, the Company is required to continue to account for the Guaranteed Obligations as a contingent liability. Based on its evaluation of the current facts and circumstances surrounding the Guaranteed Obligations and the Subordinated Indemnity Agreement, the Company is unable to predict the loss, if any, that may be incurred under these Guaranteed Obligations and no liability for the arrangements has been recognized at March 31, 2011. 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 Guaranteed Obligations and related Subordinated Indemnity Agreement.
Contingencies
     On October 8, 2004, certain heirs of Jerome Siegel, one of the creators of the “Superman” character, filed suit against the Company, DC Comics and Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc. in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. Plaintiffs’ complaint seeks an accounting and demands up to one-half of the profits made on Superman since the alleged April 16, 1999 termination by plaintiffs of Siegel’s grants of one-half of the rights to the Superman character to DC Comics’ predecessor-in-interest. Plaintiffs have also asserted various Lanham Act and unfair competition claims, alleging

Table of Contents

TIME WARNER INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)
“wasting” of the Superman property by DC Comics, and the Company has filed counterclaims. 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. On October 6, 2008, the court dismissed plaintiffs’ Lanham Act and “wasting” claims with prejudice, and subsequently determined that the remaining claims in the case will be subject to phased non-jury trials. On July 8, 2009, the court issued a decision in the first phase trial in favor of the defendants on the issue of whether the terms of various license agreements between DC Comics and Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc. were at fair market value or constituted “sweetheart deals.”
     On October 22, 2004, the same Siegel heirs filed a related lawsuit against the same defendants, as well as Warner Communications Inc. and Warner Bros. Television Production Inc. in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. Plaintiffs claim that Siegel was the sole creator of the character Superboy and, as such, DC Comics has had no right to create new Superboy works since the alleged October 17, 2004 termination by plaintiffs of Siegel’s grants of rights to the Superboy character to DC Comics’ predecessor-in-interest. This lawsuit seeks a declaration regarding the validity of the alleged termination and an injunction against future use of the Superboy character. On March 23, 2006, the court granted plaintiffs’ motion for partial summary judgment on termination, denied the Company’s motion for summary judgment and held that further proceedings are necessary to determine whether the Company’s Smallville television series may infringe on plaintiffs’ rights to the Superboy character. On July 27, 2007, upon the Company’s motion for reconsideration, the court reversed the bulk of its March 23, 2006 ruling, and requested additional briefing on certain issues, on which a decision remains pending.
     On May 14, 2010, DC Comics filed a related lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California against the heirs of Superman co-creator Joseph Shuster, the Siegel heirs, their attorney Marc Toberoff and certain companies that Mr. Toberoff controls. The lawsuit asserts a claim for declaratory relief concerning the validity and scope of the copyright termination notice served by the Shuster heirs, which, together with the termination notices served by the Siegel heirs described above, purports to preclude DC Comics from creating new Superman and/or Superboy works for distribution and sale in the United States after October 26, 2013. The lawsuit also seeks declaratory relief with respect to, inter alia, the validity of various agreements between Mr. Toberoff, his companies and the Shuster and Siegel heirs, and asserts claims for intentional interference by Mr. Toberoff with DC Comics’ contracts and prospective economic advantage with the Shuster and Siegel heirs, for which DC Comics seeks monetary damages. On September 3, 2010, DC Comics filed an amended complaint and on September 20, 2010, defendants filed motions to strike certain causes of action and dismiss the amended complaint under California and federal laws.
     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 America’s 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 Video’s 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 complaint seeks, among other things, the reinstatement of certain union members and monetary damages. On November 19, 2008, the presiding NLRB Administrative Law Judge issued a non-binding recommended decision, finding CNN America liable. On February 17, 2009, CNN America filed exceptions to this decision with the NLRB.
     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 several other programming content providers (collectively, the “programmer defendants”) as well as cable and satellite providers (collectively, the “distributor defendants”), alleging violations of the federal antitrust laws. 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. In an order dated October 15, 2009, the court dismissed the third amended complaint with prejudice. On October 30, 2009, plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.
     On March 10, 2009, Anderson News L.L.C. and Anderson Services L.L.C. (collectively, “Anderson News”) filed an antitrust lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York against several magazine publishers, distributors and wholesalers, including Time Inc. and one of its subsidiaries, Time/Warner Retail Sales & Marketing, Inc. Plaintiffs allege that defendants violated Section 1 of the Sherman Antitrust Act by engaging in an antitrust conspiracy

29

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)
against Anderson News, as well as other related state law claims. Plaintiffs are seeking unspecified monetary damages. On August 2, 2010, the court granted defendants’ motions to dismiss the complaint with prejudice, and on October 25, 2010, the court denied Anderson News’ motion for reconsideration of that dismissal. On November 8, 2010, Anderson News filed a notice of appeal with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit.
     On March 10, 2011, Charlie Sheen and 9th Step Productions (collectively, “Sheen”) filed a lawsuit in the Superior Court for the County of Los Angeles against WB Studio Enterprises, Inc. (“WB Studios”), a subsidiary of Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc., and Chuck Lorre and Chuck Lorre Productions, the co-creator and co-executive producer of the television series Two and a Half Men. Plaintiffs’ complaint asserts several causes of action in connection with WB Studios’ termination of Sheen’s contract for the Two and a Half Men series, including breach of contract claims and intentional interference tort claims. Plaintiffs’ complaint seeks monetary damages of $100 million, among other damages in unspecified amounts. WB Studios, through its division Warner Bros. Television, is seeking to arbitrate both the plaintiffs’ claims and WB Studios’ claims before JAMS, Inc. (“JAMS”), and on March 7, 2011 JAMS commenced arbitration.
     The Company intends to defend against or prosecute, as applicable, the lawsuits and proceedings described above vigorously, but is unable to predict the outcome of these matters or to reasonably estimate the possible loss or range of loss arising from the claims against the Company.
     From time to time, the Company receives notices from third parties claiming that it infringes their intellectual property rights. Claims of intellectual property infringement could require Time Warner to enter into royalty or licensing agreements on unfavorable terms, incur substantial monetary liability or be enjoined preliminarily or permanently from further use of the intellectual property in question. In addition, certain agreements entered into by the Company may require the Company to indemnify the other party for certain third-party intellectual property infringement claims, which could increase the Company’s damages and its costs of defending against such claims. Even if the claims are without merit, defending against the claims can be time-consuming and costly.
     The costs and other effects of pending or future litigation, governmental investigations, legal and administrative cases and proceedings (whether civil or criminal), settlements, judgments and investigations, claims and changes in those matters (including those matters described above), and developments or assertions by or against the Company relating to intellectual property rights and intellectual property licenses, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and operating results.
Income Tax Uncertainties
     During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company recorded net incremental income tax reserves of approximately $33 million. Of the $33 million additional income tax reserves, approximately $25 million would affect the Company’s effective tax rate if reversed. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company recorded interest reserves related to the income tax reserves of approximately $12 million.
13. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
     The Company has entered into certain transactions in the ordinary course of business with unconsolidated investees accounted for under the equity method of accounting. These transactions have been executed on terms comparable to the terms of transactions with unrelated third parties and primarily include the licensing of broadcast rights to The CW broadcast network for film and television product, by the Filmed Entertainment segment and the licensing of rights to carry cable television programming provided by the Networks segment. Revenues from transactions with related parties were $107 million and $87 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and expenses from transactions with related parties were $14 million and $17 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Accounting for Collaborative Arrangements
     The Company’s collaborative arrangements primarily relate to arrangements entered into with third parties to jointly finance and distribute theatrical productions (“co-financing arrangements”) and the arrangement entered into with CBS Broadcasting, Inc. (“CBS”) and The National Collegiate Athletic Association (the “NCAA”) that provides Turner and CBS with exclusive television, Internet and wireless rights to the NCAA Division 1 Men’s Basketball Championship events (the “NCAA Tournament”) in the United States and its territories and possessions from 2011 through 2024.
     During the first quarter of 2011, Turner and CBS began jointly producing and distributing the NCAA Tournament and related programming. The events were televised on Turner’s TNT, TBS and truTV networks and on the CBS network. The aggregate programming rights fee of approximately $10.8 billion, which is being shared equally by Turner and CBS, is being paid by Turner to the NCAA over the 14-year term of the agreement, and Turner and CBS are equally sharing advertising and sponsorship revenues and production costs. In the event, however, that the cash paid for the programming rights and production costs, in any given year, exceeds advertising and sponsorship revenues, CBS’s share of such shortfall is limited to specified annual amounts (the “loss cap”), ranging from approximately $90 million to $30 million. The amount incurred by the Company pursuant to the loss cap was not significant.
     In accounting for this arrangement, the Company recorded advertising revenue for the advertisements aired on the Turner networks. In addition, the Company amortized Turner’s share of the rights fee based on the ratio of current period advertising revenue to its estimate of total advertising revenue over the term of the agreement.
     For the Company’s collaborative arrangements related to arrangements entered into with third parties to jointly finance and distribute theatrical productions, net participation costs of $87 million were recorded in costs of revenues for each of the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Overview
     Set forth below are condensed consolidating financial statements presenting the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of (i) Time Warner Inc. (the “Parent Company”), (ii) Historic TW Inc. (in its own capacity and as successor by merger to Time Warner Companies, Inc.), Home Box Office, Inc., and Turner Broadcasting System, Inc., each a wholly owned subsidiary of the Parent Company (collectively, the “Guarantor Subsidiaries”), on a combined basis, (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. The Guarantor Subsidiaries, fully and unconditionally, jointly and severally, guarantee the securities issued under the indentures on an unsecured basis.
     There are no legal or regulatory restrictions on the Parent Company’s ability to obtain funds from any of its wholly owned subsidiaries through dividends, loans or advances.
Basis of Presentation
     In presenting the condensed consolidating financial statements, the equity method of accounting has been applied to (i) the Parent Company’s 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 intercompany balances and transactions between the Parent Company, the Guarantor Subsidiaries and the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries have been eliminated, as shown in the column “Eliminations.”
     The Parent Company’s accounting bases in all subsidiaries, including goodwill and identified intangible assets, have been “pushed down” to the applicable subsidiaries. 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. 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 subsidiary’s 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.
     Certain transfers of cash between subsidiaries and their parent companies and intercompany dividends are reflected as cash flows from investing and financing activities in the accompanying condensed consolidating statements of cash flows. All other intercompany activity is reflected in cash flows from operations.
     Management believes that the allocations and adjustments noted above are reasonable. However, such allocations and adjustments may not be indicative of the actual amounts that would have been incurred had the Parent, Guarantor and Non-Guarantor entities operated independently.

     On March 10, 2011, Charlie Sheen and 9th Step Productions (collectively, “Sheen”) filed a lawsuit in the Superior Court for the County of Los Angeles against WB Studio Enterprises, Inc. (“WB Studios”), a subsidiary of Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc., and Chuck Lorre and Chuck Lorre Productions, the co-creator and co-executive producer of the television series Two and a Half Men. Plaintiffs’ complaint asserts several causes of action in connection with WB Studios’ termination of Sheen’s contract for the Two and a Half Men series, including breach of contract claims and intentional interference tort claims. Plaintiffs’ complaint seeks monetary damages of $100 million, among other damages in unspecified amounts. WB Studios, through its division Warner Bros. Television, is seeking to arbitrate both the plaintiffs’ claims and WB Studios’ claims before JAMS, Inc. (“JAMS”), and on March 7, 2011 JAMS commenced arbitration.
