1.      Organization and Basis of Presentation
 
Charter Communications Holdings, LLC ("Charter Holdings") is a holding company whose principal assets at March 31,June 30, 2007 are the equity interests in its operating subsidiaries.  Charter Holdings is a subsidiary of CCHC, LLC (“CCHC”), which is a subsidiary of Charter Communications Holdings Company, LLC ("Charter Holdco"), which is a subsidiary of Charter Communications, Inc. (“Charter”).  The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Charter Holdings and all of its subsidiaries where the underlying operations reside, which are collectively referred to herein as the "Company."  As part of the September 2006 exchange of Charter Holdings’ notes for CCH I, LLC (“CCH I”) notes, CCHC contributed its 70% interest in the Class A preferred equity interests of CC VIII, LLC (“CC VIII”) to CCH I, LLC (“CCH I”).I.  The contribution of the CC VIII interest was accounted for as a transaction among entities under common control, and accordingly financial statements of Charter Holdings reflect the contribution as if it had occurred on the date CCHC obtained the CC VIII interest.  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions among consolidated entities have been eliminated.

The Company is a broadband communications company operating in the United States.  The Company offers to residential and commercial customers traditional cable video programming (analog and digital video), high-speed Internet services, advanced broadband services such as high definition television, Charter OnDemand™, and digital video recorder service, and, in many of our markets, telephone service.  The Company sells its cable video programming, high-speed Internet, telephone, and advanced broadband services on a subscription basis.  The Company also sells local advertising on cable networks.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").  Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures typically included in Charter Holdings’ Annual Report on Form 10-K have been condensed or omitted for this quarterly report.  The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and are subject to review by regulatory authorities.  However, in the opinion of management, such financial statements include all adjustments, which consist of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods presented.  Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Areas involving significant judgments and estimates include capitalization of labor and overhead costs; depreciation and amortization costs; impairments of property, plant and equipment, franchises and goodwill; income taxes; and contingencies.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Reclassifications
Certain 2006 amounts have been reclassified to conform with the 2007 presentation, including discontinued operations as discussed in Note 3.

2.           Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company incurred net losses of $304$281 million and $435$310 million for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and $585 million and $745 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.  The Company’s net cash flows from operating activities were $266$101 million and $205$204 million for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

The Company has a significant levelamount of debt.  The Company's long-term financing as of March 31,June 30, 2007 consistsconsisted of $5.6$6.9 billion of credit facility debt and $13.3$12.3 billion accreted value of high-yield notes.  For the remaining threetwo quarterly periods of 2007, $105 millionnone of the Company’s debt matures, which was paid on April 2, 2007 upon maturity of Charter Holdings’ 8.250% senior notes.matures.  In 2008, $55$65 million of the Company’s debt matures, and in 2009, $469$253 million matures. Of the debt that was scheduled to mature in 2009, $187 million was subject to a call redemption

that closed in April 2007, and $40 million was repurchased in a tender offer that closed in April 2007.  In 2010 and beyond, significant additional amounts will become due under the Company’s remaining long-term debt obligations.

The Company requires significant cash to fund debt service costs, capital expenditures and ongoing operations.  The Company has historically funded these requirements through cash flows from operating activities, borrowings under its credit facilities, equity contributions from Charter Holdco, sales of assets, issuances of debt securities, and cash on

(dollars in millions, except where indicated)
hand.  However, the mix of funding sources changes from period to period.  For the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2007, the Company generated $266$101 million of net cash flows from operating activities, after paying cash interest of $304$904 million.  In addition, the Company used approximately $298$579 million for purchases of property, plant and equipment.  Finally, the Company generated net cash flows from financing activities of $201$488 million, as a result of refinancing transactions completed during the period.

The Company expects that cash on hand, cash flows from operating activities, and the amounts available under its credit facilities will be adequate to meet its and its parent companies’ cash needs through 2008.  The Company believes that cash flows from operating activities and amounts available under the Company’s credit facilities may not be sufficient to fund the Company’s operations and satisfy its and its parent companies’ interest and principal repayment obligations in 2009, and will not be sufficient to fund such needs in 2010 and beyond.  The Company has been advised that Charter continues to work with its financial advisors concerning its approach to addressing liquidity, debt maturities, and overall balance sheet leverage.

Credit Facility Availability

The Company’s ability to operate depends upon, among other things, its continued access to capital, including credit under the Charter Communications Operating, LLC (“Charter Operating”) credit facilities.  The Charter Operating credit facilities, along with the Company’s indentures and the CCO Holdings, LLC (“CCO Holdings”) credit facilities, contain certain restrictive covenants, some of which require the Company to maintain specified leverage ratios, meet financial tests, and provide annual audited financial statements with an unqualified opinion from the Company’s independent auditors.  As of March 31,June 30, 2007, the Company was in compliance with the covenants under its indentures and credit facilities, and the Company expects to remain in compliance with those covenants for the next twelve months.  As of March 31,June 30, 2007, the Company’s potential availability under its revolving credit facility totaled approximately $1.4 billion, none of which was limited by covenant restrictions.  Continued access to the Company’s credit facilities is subject to the Company remaining in compliance with these covenants, including covenants tied to the Company’s leverage ratio.  If any event of non-compliance were to occur, funding under the credit facilities may not be available and defaults on some or potentially all of the Company’s debt obligations could occur.  An event of default under any of the Company’s debt instruments could result in the acceleration of its payment obligations under that debt and, under certain circumstances, in cross-defaults under its other debt obligations, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition and results of operations.

Parent Company Debt Obligations

Any financial or liquidity problems of the Company’s parent companies could cause serious disruption to the Company’s business and have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business and results of operations.

Limitations on Distributions

As long as Charter’s convertible notes remain outstanding and are not otherwise converted into shares of common stock, Charter must pay interest on the convertible senior notes and repay the principal amount in November 2009.  Charter’s ability to make interest payments on its convertible senior notes, and, in 2009, to repay the outstanding principal of its convertible senior notes of $413 million, net of $450 million of convertible senior notes now held by CCHC,Charter Holdco, will depend on its ability to raise additional capital and/or on receipt of payments or distributions from Charter Holdco and its subsidiaries.  As of March 31,June 30, 2007, Charter Holdco was owed $4 million in intercompany loans from its subsidiaries and had $8$14 million in cash, which were available to pay interest and principal on Charter's convertible senior notes.  In addition, Charter has $50$25 million of U.S. government securities pledged as security for the semi-semi-annual interest payments on Charter’s convertible senior notes scheduled in 2007.  On August 1, 2007, Charter Holdings distributed to CCHC an intercompany note issued by Charter Operating with an outstanding balance, including accrued interest, of $119 million.  On the same day, CCHC distributed such note to Charter Holdco along with $450 million of Charter’s convertible senior notes and an investment account with $26 million of cash.  As long as Charter Holdco continues to hold the $450 million of Charter’s convertible senior notes, Charter Holdco will receive interest payments from the government securities pledged for Charter’s convertible senior notes.  The

annual interest payments on Charter’s convertible senior notes scheduled in 2007.  As long as CCHC continues to hold the $450 million of Charter’s convertible senior notes, CCHC will receive interest payments from the government securities pledged for Charter’s convertible senior notes.  The
cumulative amount of interest payments expected to be received by CCHCCharter Holdco is $40 million and may be available to be distributed to pay semiannual interest due in 2008 and May 2009 on the outstanding principal amount of $413 million of Charter’s convertible senior notes, although CCHCCharter Holdco may use those amounts for other purposes.

Distributions by Charter’s subsidiaries to a parent company (including Charter, Charter Holdco, CCHC, and Charter Holdings) for payment of principal on parent company notes, are restricted under the indentures governing the CCH I Holdings, LLC (“CIH”) notes, CCH I notes, CCH II, LLC (“CCH II”) notes, CCO Holdings notes, and Charter Operating notes and under the CCO Holdings credit facilities unless there is no default under the applicable indenture and credit facilities, and unless each applicable subsidiary’s leverage ratio test is met at the time of such distribution.  For the quarter ended March 31,June 30, 2007, there was no default under any of these indentures or credit facilities. However, certain of the Company’s subsidiaries did not meet theirfacilities and each subsidiary met its applicable leverage ratio tests based on March 31,June 30, 2007 financial results.  As a result,Such distributions from certainwould be restricted, however, if any such subsidiary fails to meet these tests at the time of the Company’scontemplated distribution.  In the past, certain subsidiaries have from time to time failed to meet their parent companies would have been restrictedleverage ratio test.  There can be no assurance that they will satisfy these tests at suchthe time and will continue to be restricted unless those tests are met.of the contemplated distribution.  Distributions by Charter Operating for payment of principal on parent company notes are further restricted by the covenants in its credit facilities.

Distributions by CIH, CCH I, CCH II, CCO Holdings, and Charter Operating to a parent company for payment of parent company interest are permitted if there is no default under the aforementioned indentures and CCO Holdings credit facilities.

The indentures governing the Charter Holdings notes permit Charter Holdings to make distributions to Charter Holdco for payment of interest or principal on Charter’s convertible senior notes, only if, after giving effect to the distribution, Charter Holdings can incur additional debt under the leverage ratio of 8.75 to 1.0, there is no default under Charter Holdings’ indentures, and other specified tests are met.  For the quarter ended March 31,June 30, 2007, there was no default under Charter Holdings’ indentures, and the other specified tests were met. However,met, and Charter Holdings did not meet themet its leverage ratio test of 8.75 to 1.0 based on March 31,June 30, 2007 financial results.  As a result,Such distributions fromwould be restricted, however, if Charter Holdings fails to meet these tests at the time of the contemplated distribution.  In the past, Charter orHoldings has from time to time failed to meet this leverage ratio test.  There can be no assurance that Charter Holdco would have been restrictedHoldings will satisfy these tests at suchthe time and will continue to be restricted unless that test is met.of the contemplated distribution.  During periods in which distributions are restricted, the indentures governing the Charter Holdings notes permit Charter Holdings and its subsidiaries to make specified investments (that are not restricted payments) in Charter Holdco or Charter, up to an amount determined by a formula, as long as there is no default under the indentures.  

Recent Financing Transactions

In March 2007, Charter Operating entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Charter Operating Credit Agreement”) which provides for a $1.5 billion senior secured revolving line of credit, a continuation of the existing $5.0 billion term loan facility (which was refinanced with new term loans in April 2007), and a $1.5 billion new term loan facility, which was funded in March and April 2007.  In March 2007, CCO Holdings entered into a credit agreement which consisted of a $350 million term loan facility funded in March and April 2007.  In April 2007, Charter Holdings completed a cash tender offer to purchase up to $100$97 million including premiums and accrued interest, of its outstanding notes.  In addition, Charter Holdings redeemed $187 million of its 8.625% senior notes due April 1, 2009 and CCO Holdings redeemed $550 million of its senior floating rate notes due December 15, 2010.  These redemptions closed in April 2007.  See Note 6.

facilities.  These cable systems met the criteria for assets held for sale.  As such, the assets were written down to fair value less estimated costs to sell resulting in asset impairment charges during the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2006 of approximately $99 million related to the New Wave Transaction and the Orange Transaction.  The Company determined that the West Virginia and Virginia cable systems comprise operations and cash flows that for financial reporting purposes meet the criteria for discontinued operations.  Accordingly, the results of operations for the West Virginia and Virginia cable systems have been presented as discontinued operations, net of tax for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2006.

Summarized consolidated financial information for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2006 for the West Virginia and Virginia cable systems is as follows:

4.      Franchises and Goodwill
 
Franchise rights represent the value attributed to agreements with local authorities that allow access to homes in cable service areas acquired through the purchase of cable systems.  Management estimates the fair value of franchise rights at the date of acquisition and determines if the franchise has a finite lifefinite-life or an indefinite-life as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.  Franchises that qualify for indefinite-life treatment under SFAS No. 142 are tested for impairment annually each October 1 based on valuations, or more frequently as warranted by events or changes in circumstances.  Franchises are aggregated into essentially inseparable asset groups to conduct the valuations.  The asset groups generally represent geographical clustering of the Company’s cable systems into groups by which such systems are managed.  Management believes such grouping represents the highest and best use of those assets.

As of March 31,June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, indefinite-lived and finite-lived intangible assets are presented in the following table:

The accreted values presented above generally represent the principal amount of the notes less the original issue discount at the time of sale plus the accretion to the balance sheet date except as follows. Certaindate.  However, certain of the CIH notes, CCH I notes and CCH II notes issued in exchange for Charter Holdings notes and Charter convertible notes in 2006 and 2005 are recorded for financial reporting purposes at values different from the current accreted value for legal purposes and notes indenture purposes (the amount that is currently payable if the debt becomes immediately due).  As of March 31,June 30, 2007, the accreted value of the Company’s debt for legal purposes and notes indenture purposes is approximately $18.6$19.0 billion.

In March 2007, Charter Operating entered into the Charter Operating Credit Agreement which provides for a $1.5 billion senior secured revolving line of credit, a continuation of the existing $5.0 billion term loan facility (the “Existing Term Loan”), and a $1.5 billion new term loan facility (the “New Term Loan”), which was funded in March and April 2007.  Borrowings under the Charter Operating Credit Agreement bear interest at a variable interest rate based on either LIBOR or a base rate, plus in either case, an applicable margin.  The applicable margin for LIBOR loans under the New Term Loan and revolving loans is 2.00% above LIBOR.  The revolving line of credit commitments terminate in March 2013.  The Existing Term Loan and the New Term Loan are subject to amortization at 1% of their initial principal amount per annum. The New Term Loan amortization commencesannum commencing on March 31, 2008. The2008 with the remaining principal amount of the New Term Loan will be due in March 2014.

The terms of the Existing Term Loan were amended in March 2007. The refinancing of the $5.0 billion Existing Term Loan with new term loans was permitted under the Charter Operating Credit Agreement and occurred in April 2007, with pricing (LIBOR plus 2.00%) and amortization profile of such term loan matching the New Term Loan described above.  The Charter Operating Credit Agreement also modified the quarterly consolidated leverage ratio to be less restrictive.

In March 2007, CCO Holdings entered into a credit agreement (the “CCO Holdings Credit Agreement”) which consisted of a $350 million term loan facility (the “Term Facility”).  The Term Facility matures in September 2014 (the “Maturity Date”).  The CCO Holdings Credit Agreement also provides for additional incremental term loans (the “Incremental Loans”) maturing on the dates set forth in the notices establishing such term loans, but no earlier than the Maturity Date. Borrowings under the CCO Holdings Credit Agreement bear interest at a variable interest rate based on either LIBOR or a base rate plus, in either case, an applicable margin.  The applicable margin for LIBOR term loans other than Incremental Loans, is 2.50% above LIBOR. The applicable margin with respect to Incremental Loans is to be agreed upon by CCO Holdings and the lenders when the Incremental Loans are established.  The CCO Holdings Credit Agreement is secured by the equity interests of Charter Operating, and all proceeds thereof.

As part of the refinancing, the existing $350 million revolving/term credit facility was terminated.  A $1The refinancing resulted in a loss on extinguishment of debt for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 of approximately $12 million loss was recognized related toand $13 million, respectively, included in other expense, net on the write-offCompany’s condensed consolidated statements of unamortized deferred debt financing costs related to this facility.operations.

Prior to March 31, 2007, $110 million was transferred to the trustee for use to pay off the remaining principal and interest of the Charter Holdings 8.250% senior notes due April 1, 2007. Such amount was not funded to bond holders

until April 2, 2007. The cash held by the trustee was reflected as restricted cash at March 31, 2007. In April 2007, Charter Holdings completed a tender offer, in which $97.0$97 million of Charter Holdings’ notes were accepted in exchange for $100 million of total consideration, including premiums and accrued interest.  In addition, Charter Holdings redeemed $187 million of its 8.625% senior notes due April 1, 2009 and CCO Holdings redeemed $550 million of its senior floating rate notes due December 15, 2010.  These redemptions closed in April 2007.  The redemptions and tender resulted in a loss on extinguishment of debt for each of the three and six months ended June

On April 1, 2007, $105 million of Charter Holdings 8.25% notes matured and were paid off with proceeds from the CCO Holdings Credit Agreement.

7.Minority Interest

Minority interest on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets at March 31,June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 primarily represents preferred membership interests in CC VIII, an indirect subsidiary of Charter Holdings, of $194$195 million and $192 million, respectively.  This preferred interest is held by Mr. Allen, Charter’s Chairman and controlling shareholder.  Approximately 5.6% of CC VIII’s income is allocated to minority interest.
 
8.      Comprehensive Loss
 
The Company reports changes in the fair value of interest rate agreements designated as hedging the variability of cash flows associated with floating-rate debt obligations, that meet the effectiveness criteria of SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, in accumulated other comprehensive income, (loss).after giving effect to the minority interest share of such gains and losses.  Comprehensive loss was $307$231 million and $436$309 million for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and $538 million and $745 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
 
9.      Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
 
The Company uses interest rate risk management derivative instruments, including but not limited to interest rate swap agreements and interest rate collar agreements (collectively referred to herein as interest rate agreements) to manage its interest costs.  The Company’s policy is to manage its exposure to fluctuations in interest rates by maintaining a mix of fixed and variable rate debt within a targeted range.  Using interest rate swap agreements, the Company has agreed to exchange, at specified intervals through 2013, the difference between fixed and variable interest amounts calculated by reference to agreed-upon notional principal amounts.

The Company’s hedging policy does not permit it to hold or issue derivative instruments for trading purposes.  The Company does, however, have certain interest rate derivative instruments that have been designated as cash flow hedging instruments.  Such instruments effectively convert variable interest payments on certain debt instruments into fixed payments.  For qualifying hedges, SFAS No. 133 allows derivative gains and losses to offset related results on hedged items in the consolidated statement of operations.  The Company has formally documented, designated and assessed the effectiveness of transactions that receive hedge accounting.  For each of the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2007 and 2006, other income (expense),expense, net includes $0, and gainsfor the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, other expense, net includes $0 and a gain of $2 million, respectively, which represent cash flow hedge ineffectiveness on interest rate hedge agreements.  This ineffectiveness arises from differences between critical terms of the agreements and the related hedged obligations.  Changes in the fair value of interest rate agreements that are designated as hedging instruments of the variability of cash flows associated with floating rate debt obligations, and that meet the effectiveness criteria of SFAS No. 133 are reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).income.  For the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2007 and 2006, lossesgains of $2$50 million and $1 million, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, a gain of $48 million and $0, respectively, related to derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges, were recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).income.  The amounts are subsequently reclassified intoas an increase or decrease to interest expense as a yield adjustment in the same periods in which the related interest on the floating-rate debt obligations affects earnings (losses).

Certain interest rate derivative instruments are not designated as hedges as they do not meet the effectiveness criteria specified by SFAS No. 133.  However, management believes such instruments are closely correlated with the respective debt, thus managing associated risk.  Interest rate derivative instruments not designated as hedges are marked to fair value, with the impact recorded as other income (expense) in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. For the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, other income (expense), net, includes losses of $1 million and gains of $6 million, respectively, resulting from interest rate derivative instruments not designated as hedges.

statements of operations.  For the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, other expense, net, includes gains of $6 million and $3 million, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, other expense, net includes gains of $5 million and $9 million, respectively, resulting from interest rate derivative instruments not designated as hedges.

As of March 31,June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the Company had outstanding $3.4$3.0 billion and $1.7 billion, respectively, in notional amounts of interest rate swaps.  The notional amounts of interest rate instruments do not represent amounts exchanged by the parties and, thus, are not a measure of exposure to credit loss.  The amounts exchanged are determined by reference to the notional amount and the other terms of the contracts.

Overview
 
For the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2007 and 2006, our operating income from continuing operations was $156$200 million and $146 million, respectively, and for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2007 and 2006, our operating lossincome from continuing operations was $8 million.$356 million and $138 million, respectively.  We had an operating marginmargins of 13% and 11% for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2007 and a negative operating margin of 1%2006, respectively, and 12% and 5% for the threesix months ended March 31, 2006.June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.  The increase in operating income from continuing operations and operating margins for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2007 compared to the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2006 was principally due to asset impairment charges during 2006, which did not recur in 2007, combined with revenues increasing at a faster rate than expenses, reflecting increased operational efficiencies, improved geographic footprint, and benefits from improved third party contracts. contracts, coupled with asset impairment charges during the six months ended June 30, 2006, which did not recur in 2007.

We have a history of net losses.  Further, we expect to continue to report net losses for the foreseeable future.  Our net losses are principally attributable to insufficient revenue to cover the combination of operating expenses and interest expenses we incur because of our high level of debt, and depreciation expenses that we incur resulting from the capital investments we have made and continue to make in our cable properties.  We expect that these expenses will remain significant.

Sale of Assets

In 2006, we sold cable systems serving a total of approximately 356,000 analog video customers for a total sales price of approximately $971 million.  The CompanyWe used the net proceeds from the asset sales to reduce borrowings, but not commitments, under the revolving portion of the Company’sour credit facilities.  These cable systems met the criteria for assets held for sale.  As such, the assets were written down to fair value less estimated costs to sell resulting in asset impairment charges during the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2006 of approximately $99 million.  The results of operations for the West Virginia and Virginia cable systems have been presented as discontinued operations, net of tax for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2006.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Introduction 
 
This section contains a discussion of our liquidity and capital resources, including a discussion of our cash position, sources and uses of cash, access to credit facilities and other financing sources, historical financing activities, cash needs, capital expenditures and outstanding debt.
 
We have a significant levelamounts of debt.  Our long-term financing as of March 31,June 30, 2007 consistsconsisted of $5.6$6.9 billion of credit facility debt and $13.3$12.3 billion accreted value of high-yield notes.  For the remaining threetwo quarterly periods of 2007, $105 millionnone of our debt matures, which was paid on April 2, 2007 upon maturity of Charter Holdings’ 8.250% senior notes.matures.  In 2008, $55$65 million of our debt matures, and in 2009, $469$253 million matures. Of the debt that was scheduled to mature in 2009, $187 million was subject to a call redemption that closed in April 2007, and $40 million was repurchased in a tender offer that closed in April 2007.  In 2010 and beyond, significant additional amounts will become due under our remaining long-term debt obligations.

Our business requires significant cash to fund debt service costs, capital expenditures and ongoing operations.  We have historically funded these requirements through cash flows from operating activities, borrowings under our credit facilities, equity contributions from Charter Holdco, sales of assets, issuances of debt securities and cash on hand.  However, the mix of funding sources changes from period to period.  For the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2007, we generated $266$101 million of net cash flows from operating activities after paying cash interest of $304$904 million.  In addition, we used approximately $298$579 million for purchases of property, plant and equipment.  Finally,
28

we had net cash flows provided by financing activities of $201 million.$488 million, as a result of refinancing transactions completed during the period.  We expect that our mix of sources of funds will continue to change in the future based on overall needs relative to our cash flow and on the availability of funds under our credit facilities, our and our parent companies’ access to the debt and equity markets, the timing of possible asset sales and based on our ability to generate cash flows from operating activities.  We continue to explore asset dispositions as one of several possible actions that we could take in the future to improve our liquidity, but we do not presently believe future asset sales to be a significant source of liquidity.
28


We expect that cash on hand, cash flows from operating activities, and the amounts available under our credit facilities will be adequate to meet our and our parent companies’ cash needs through 2008.  We believe that cash flows from operating activities and amounts available under our credit facilities may not be sufficient to fund our operations and satisfy our and our parent companies’ interest and principal repayment obligations in 2009, and will not be sufficient to fund such needs in 2010 and beyond.  We have been advised that Charter continues to work with its financial advisors concerning its approach to addressing liquidity, debt maturities and its overall balance sheet leverage.

Credit Facility Availability

Our ability to operate depends upon, among other things, our continued access to capital, including credit under the Charter Communications Operating, LLC (“Charter Operating”) credit facilities.  The Charter Operating credit facilities, along with our indentures and the CCO Holdings, LLC (“CCO Holdings”) credit facilities, contain certain restrictive covenants, some of which require us to maintain specified leverage ratios and meet financial tests and to provide annual audited financial statements with an unqualified opinion from our independent auditors.  As of March 31,June 30, 2007, we arewere in compliance with the covenants under our indentures and credit facilities, and we expect to remain in compliance with those covenants for the next twelve months.  As of March 31,June 30, 2007, our potential availability under our revolving credit facility totaled approximately $1.4 billion, none of which was limited by covenant restrictions.  Continued access to our credit facilities is subject to our remaining in compliance with these covenants, including covenants tied to our leverage ratio.  If any events of non-compliance occur, funding under the credit facilities may not be available and defaults on some or potentially all of our debt obligations could occur.  An event of default under any of our debt instruments could result in the acceleration of our payment obligations under that debt and, under certain circumstances, in cross-defaults under our other debt obligations, which could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition and results of operations.

Parent Company Debt Obligations

Any financial or liquidity problems of our parent companies could cause serious disruption to our business and have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

As long as Charter’s convertible notes remain outstanding and are not otherwise converted into shares of common stock, Charter must pay interest on the convertible senior notes and repay the principal amount in November 2009.  Charter’s ability to make interest payments on its convertible senior notes, and, in 2009, to repay the outstanding principal of its convertible senior notes of $413 million, net of $450 million of convertible senior notes now held by CCHC,Charter Holdco, will depend on its ability to raise additional capital and/or on receipt of payments or distributions from Charter Holdco and its subsidiaries.  As of March 31,June 30, 2007, Charter Holdco was owed $4 million in intercompany loans from its subsidiaries and had $8$14 million in cash, which were available to pay interest and principal on Charter's convertible senior notes.  In addition, Charter has $50$25 million of U.S. government securities pledged as security for the semi-annual interest payments on Charter’s convertible senior notes scheduled in 2007.   On August 1, 2007, Charter Holdings distributed to CCHC an intercompany note issued by Charter Operating with an outstanding balance, including accrued interest, of $119 million.  On the same day, CCHC distributed such note to Charter Holdco along with $450 million of Charter’s convertible senior note and an investment account with $26 million of cash.  As long as CCHCCharter Holdco continues to hold the $450 million of Charter’s convertible senior notes, CCHCCharter Holdco will receive interest payments from the government securities pledged for the convertible senior notes.  The cumulative amount of interest payments expected to be received by CCHCCharter Holdco is $40 million and may be available to be distributed to pay semiannual interest due in 2008 and May 2009 on the outstanding principal amount of $413 million of Charter’s convertible senior notes, although CCHCCharter Holdco may use those amounts for other purposes.

Distributions by Charter’s subsidiaries to a parent company (including Charter, Charter Holdco CCHC, and Charter Holdings) for payment of principal on parent company notes, are restricted under the indentures governing the CCH I Holdings, LLC (“CIH”) notes, CCH I, LLC (“CCH I”) notes, CCH II, LLC (“CCH II”) notes, CCO Holdings notes, and Charter Operating notes and under the CCO Holdings credit facilities unless there is no default under the
29

applicable indenture and credit facilities, and unless each applicable subsidiary’s leverage ratio test is met at the time of such distribution. For the quarter ended March 31,June 30, 2007, there was no default under any of these indentures or credit facilities. However, certain of our subsidiaries did not meet theirfacilities and each subsidiary met its applicable leverage ratio tests based on March 31,June 30, 2007 financial results.  As a result,
29

Such distributions from certain of our subsidiaries to their parent companies would have been restricted at such time and will continue to be restricted, unless thosehowever, if any such subsidiary fails to meet these tests are met.at the time of the contemplated distribution.  In the past, certain subsidiaries have from time to time failed to meet their leverage ratio test.  There can be no assurance that they will satisfy these tests at the time of the contemplated distribution.  Distributions by Charter Operating for payment of principal on parent company notes are further restricted by the covenants in its credit facilities.

Distributions by CIH, CCH I, CCH II, CCO Holdings and Charter Operating to a parent company for payment of parent company interest are permitted if there is no default under the aforementioned indentures and CCO Holdings Credit facilities.

The indentures governing the Charter Holdings notes permit Charter Holdings to make distributions to Charter Holdco for payment of interest or principal on Charter’s convertible senior notes, only if, after giving effect to the distribution, Charter Holdings can incur additional debt under the leverage ratio of 8.75 to 1.0, there is no default under Charter Holdings’ indentures, and other specified tests are met.  For the quarter ended March 31,June 30, 2007, there was no default under Charter Holdings’ indentures, and the other specified tests were met. However,met, and Charter Holdings did not meet themet its leverage ratio test of 8.75 to 1.0 based on March 31,June 30, 2007 financial results.  As a result,Such distributions fromwould be restricted, however, if Charter Holdings fails to meet these tests at the time of the contemplated distribution.  In the past, Charter orHoldings has from time to time failed to meet this leverage ratio test.  There can be no assurance that Charter Holdco would have been restrictedHoldings will satisfy these tests at suchthe time and will continue to be restricted unless that test is met.of the contemplated distribution.  During periods in which distributions are restricted, the indentures governing the Charter Holdings notes permit Charter Holdings and its subsidiaries to make specified investments (that are not restricted payments) in Charter Holdco or Charter, up to an amount determined by a formula, as long as there is no default under the indentures.  

In addition to the limitation on distributions under the various indentures discussed above, distributions by our subsidiaries may be limited by applicable law.  See “Risk Factors — Because of our holding company structure, our outstanding notes are structurally subordinated in right of payment to all liabilities of our subsidiaries.  Restrictions in our subsidiaries’ debt instruments and under applicable law limit their ability to provide funds to us or our various parent companies who are debt issuers.”

Access to Capital

Our significant amount of debt could negatively affect our ability to access additional capital in the future.  Additionally, our ability to incur additional debt may be limited by the restrictive covenants in our indentures and credit facilities.  No assurances can be given that we will not experience liquidity problems if we do not obtain sufficient additional financing on a timely basis as our debt becomes due or because of adverse market conditions, increased competition or other unfavorable events.  If, at any time, additional capital or borrowing capacity is required beyond amounts internally generated or available under our credit facilities or through additional debt or equity financings, we would consider:

 issuing equity at the Charter or Charter Holdco level, the proceeds of which could be loaned or contributed to us;
 issuing debt securities that may have structural or other priority over our existing notes;
 further reducing our expenses and capital expenditures, which may impair our ability to increase revenue and grow operating cash flows;
 selling assets; or
 requesting waivers or amendments with respect to our credit facilities, which may not be available on acceptable terms; and cannot be assured.

If the above strategies arewere not successful, we could be forced to restructure our obligations or seek protection under the bankruptcy laws.  In addition, if we find it necessary to engage in a recapitalization or other similar transaction, our noteholders might not receive the full principal and interest payments to which they are contractually entitled.

Recent Financing Transactions

On March 6, 2007, Charter Operating entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement among Charter Operating, CCO Holdings, the several lenders from time to time that are parties thereto, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and certain other agents (the “Charter Operating Credit Agreement”).
 
30

 

The Charter Operating Credit Agreement provides for a $1.5 billion senior secured revolving line of credit, a continuation of the existing $5.0 billion term loan facility (which was refinanced with new term loans in April 2007) (“Replacement Existing Term Loan”), and a $1.5 billion new term loan facility (the “New Term Loan”) which was funded in March and April 2007.  Borrowings under the Charter Operating Credit Agreement bear interest at a variable interest rate based on either LIBOR or a base rate, plus in either case, an applicable margin.  The applicable margin for LIBOR loans under the Replacement Existing Term Loan, the New Term Loan, and revolving loans is 2.00% above LIBOR.  The revolving line of credit commitments terminate on March 6, 2013.  The Replacement Existing Term Loan and the New Term Loan are subject to amortization at 1% of their initial principal amount per annum. The New Term Loanannum and amortization commences on March 31, 2008.  The remaining principal amount of the Replacement Existing Term Loan and the New Term Loan will be due on March 6, 2014.

The terms of the Existing Term Loan have been amended effective March 6, 2007. The refinancing of the $5.0 billion Existing Term Loan with new term loans (“Replacement Existing Term Loan”) was permitted under the Charter Operating Credit Agreement and occurred in April 2007, with pricing (LIBOR plus 2.00%) and amortization profile of the Replacement Existing Term Loan matching the New Term Loan described above.  The Charter Operating Credit Agreement contains financial covenants requiring Charter Operating to maintain a quarterly consolidated leverage ratio not to exceed 5 to 1 and a first lien leverage ratio not to exceed 4 to 1.

On March 6, 2007, CCO Holdings entered into a credit agreement among CCO Holdings, the several lenders from time to time that are parties thereto, Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, and certain other agents (the “CCO Holdings Credit Agreement”).  The CCO Holdings Credit Agreement consists of a $350 million term loan facility (the “Term Facility”).  The term loan matures on September 6, 2014 (the “Maturity Date”).  The CCO Holdings Credit Agreement also provides for additional incremental term loans (the “Incremental Loans”) maturing on the dates set forth in the notices establishing such term loans, but no earlier than the Maturity Date. Borrowings under the CCO Holdings Credit Agreement bear interest at a variable interest rate based on either LIBOR or a base rate plus, in either case, an applicable margin.  The applicable margin for LIBOR term loans other than Incremental Loans, is 2.50% above LIBOR. The applicable margin with respect to Incremental Loans is to be agreed upon by CCO Holdings and the lenders when the Incremental Loans are established.  The CCO Holdings Credit Agreement is secured by the equity interests of Charter Operating, and all proceeds thereof.

We used a portion of the additional proceeds from the Charter Operating Credit Agreement and CCO Holdings Credit Agreement to redeem $550 million of CCO Holdings’ outstanding floating rate notes due 2010, to redeem approximately $187 million of Charter Holdings’ outstanding 8.625% senior notes due 2009, to fund the purchase of notes in a tender offer for total consideration (including premiums and accrued interest) of $100 million of certain Charter Holdings’ notes outstanding at Charter Holdings, and to repay $105 million of Charter Holdings’ notes maturing in April 2007.  The remainder will bewas used for other general corporate purposes.

Historical Operating, Financing and Investing Activities

Our cash flows for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2006 include the cash flows related to our discontinued operations.

We held $184$40 million in cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2007, of which $110 million was held by the trustee and restricted for payment of bonds due April 1,June 30, 2007 compared to $38 million as of December 31, 2006.  For the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2007, we generated $266$101 million of net cash flows from operating activities after paying cash interest of $304$904 million.  In addition, we used approximately $298$579 million for purchases of property, plant and equipment.  Finally, we had net cash flows provided by financing activities of $201$488 million.
 
Operating Activities. Net cash provided by operating activities increased $61decreased $103 million, or 30%50%, from $205$204 million for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2006 to $266$101 million for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2007.  For the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2007, net cash provided by operating activities increaseddecreased primarily as a result of revenues increasing at a faster rate than cash expenses and changes in operating assets and liabilities that provided $76$82 million moreless cash during the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2007 than the corresponding period in 2006, offset byand an increase of $43$61 million in interest on cash pay obligations during the same period.period, offset by revenues increasing at a faster rate than cash expenses.

Investing Activities. Net cash used by investing activities was $321increased to $587 million for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2007 compared to net cash used by investing activities of $276$553 million for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2006, which was primarily related to an increase in purchasescash used for the purchase of property, plant, and equipment.equipment and a decrease in accrued expenses related to capital expenditures.

Capital Expenditures

We have significant ongoing capital expenditure requirements.  Capital expenditures were $298$579 million and $241$539 million for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.  Capital expenditures increased as a result of increased spending on customer premise equipment and support capital to meet increased customer growth and increases in scalable infrastructure as a result ofdigital, high-speed data network upgradesInternet, and telephone headend equipment.customer growth.  See the table below for more details.
 
Our capital expenditures are funded primarily from cash flows from operating activities, the issuance of debt and borrowings under credit facilities.  In addition, during the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2007 and 2006, our liabilities related to capital expenditures decreased $32$39 million and $7$9 million, respectively.

During 2007, we expect capital expenditures to be approximately $1.2 billion.  We expect that the nature of these expenditures will continue to be composed primarily of purchases of customer premise equipment related to telephone and other advanced services, support capital, and for scalable infrastructure costs.  We have funded and expect to continue to fund capital expenditures for 2007 primarily from cash flows from operating activities and borrowings under our credit facilities.
 
We have adopted capital expenditure disclosure guidance, which was developed by eleven publicly traded cable system operators, including us, with the support of the National Cable & Telecommunications Association ("NCTA").  The disclosure is intended to provide more consistency in the reporting of operating statistics in capital expenditures and customers among peer companies in the cable industry.  These disclosure guidelines are not required disclosure under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), nor do they impact our accounting for capital expenditures under GAAP.

The following table presents our major capital expenditures categories in accordance with NCTA disclosure guidelines for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2007 and 2006 (dollars in millions):

Item 4.Controls and Procedures.

As of the end of the period covered by this report, management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures with respect to the information generated for use in this quarterly report.  The evaluation was based in part upon reports and certifications provided by a number of executives.  Based upon, and as of the date of that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurances that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms.

There waswere no changechanges in our internal controlcontrols over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31,June 30, 2007 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance of achieving the desired control objectives and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.  Based upon the above evaluation, our management believes that our controls provide such reasonable assurances.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION.

Item 1.Legal Proceedings.

We and our parent companies are defendants or co-defendants in several unrelated lawsuits claiming infringement of various patents relating to various aspects of our businesses.  Other industry participants are also defendants in certain of these cases, and, in many cases, we expect that any potential liability would be the responsibility of our equipment vendors pursuant to applicable contractual indemnification provisions. In the event that a court ultimately determines that we infringe on any intellectual property rights, we may be subject to substantial damages and/or an injunction that could require us or our vendors to modify certain products and services we offer to our subscribers.  While we believe the lawsuits are without merit and intend to defend the actions vigorously, the lawsuits could be material to our consolidated results of operations of any one period, and no assurance can be given that any adverse outcome would not be material to our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

We and our parent companies are party to other lawsuits and claims that arise in the ordinary course of conducting our business.  The ultimate outcome of these other legal matters pending against us or our subsidiariesparent companies cannot be predicted, and although such lawsuits and claims are not expected individually to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or liquidity, such lawsuits could have, in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

Item 1A.      Risk Factors.

Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 includes “Risk Factors” under Item 1A of Part I.  Except for the updated risk factors described below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors described in our Form 10-K.  The information below updates, and should be read in conjunction with, the risk factors and information disclosed in our Form 10-K.

Risks Related to Significant Indebtedness of Us and Our SubsidiariesParent Companies

We and our parent companies have a significant amount of existing debt and may incur significant additional debt, including secured debt, in the future, which could adversely affect our and our parent companies’ financial health and our and their ability to react to changes in our business.

We and our parent companies have a significant amount of debt and may (subject to applicable restrictions in their debt instruments) incur additional debt in the future.  As of March 31,June 30, 2007, our total debt was approximately $18.9$19.2 billion, our member’s deficit was approximately $5.9$6.1 billion and the deficiency of earnings to cover fixed charges for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2007 was $300$581 million.

As of March 31,June 30, 2007, approximately $413 million aggregate principal amount of Charter’s convertible notes were outstanding, which matures in 2009.  Charter will need to raise additional capital and/or receive distributions or payments from its subsidiaries in order to satisfy this debt obligation.  AnEffective August 1, 2007, an additional $450 million aggregate principal amount of Charter’s convertible notes wasare held by CCHC.Charter Holdco.

Because of its and our significant indebtedness, the ability of Charter and our ability to raise additional capital at reasonable rates or at all is uncertain, and the ability of our subsidiaries to make distributions or payments to us and our parent companies is subject to availability of funds and restrictions under our and our subsidiaries’ applicable debt instruments and under applicable law.  If we find it necessary to engage in a recapitalization or other similar transaction, our noteholders might not receive principal and interest payments to which they are contractually entitled.

Our and our parent companies’ significant amount of debt could have other important consequences.  For example, the debt will or could:

·require us to dedicate a significant portion of our cash flow from operating activities to make payments on our and our parent companies’ debt, which will reduce our funds available for working capital, capital expenditures and other general corporate expenses;
·limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business, the cable and telecommunications industries and the economy at large;
 
 
34


 
·place us at a disadvantage as compared to our competitors that have proportionately less debt;
·make us vulnerable to interest rate increases, because approximately 15%20% of our borrowings are, and will continue to be, atsubject to variable rates of interest;
·expose us to increased interest expense as we refinance existing lower interest rate instruments;
·adversely affect our relationship with customers and suppliers;
·limit our and our parent companies’ ability to borrow additional funds in the future, due to applicable financial and restrictive covenants in our debt;
·make it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations to the holders of our notes and to the lenders under our credit facilities as well as our parent companies’ ability to satisfy their obligations to their noteholders; and
·limit future increases in the value, or cause a decline in the value of Charter’s equity, which could limit Charter’s ability to raise additional capital by issuing equity.
 
A default by us or one of our parent companiessubsidiaries under our and their debt obligations could result in the acceleration of those obligations, which in turn could trigger cross defaults under other agreements governing our and our parent companies’subsidiaries’ long-term indebtedness.  In addition, the secured lenders under our credit facilities and the holders of the Charter Operating senior second-lien notes could foreclose on their collateral, which includes equity interest in our subsidiaries, and exercise other rights of secured creditors.  Any default under those credit facilities or the indentures governing Charter’s convertible notes or our and our parent companies’ debt could adversely affect our growth, our financial condition, our results of operations, and our and our parent companies’ ability to make payments on our convertible notes, our credit facilities and our and our parent companies’ other debt, of our subsidiaries, and could force us to seek the protection of the bankruptcy laws.  We and our parent companies may incur significant additional debt in the future.  If current debt levelsamounts increase, the related risks that we now face will intensify.

We may not be able to access funds under the Charter Operating credit facilities if we fail to satisfy the covenant restrictions in such credit facilities, which could adversely affect our financial condition and our ability to conduct our business.

We have historically relied on access to credit facilities in order to fund operations and to service parent company debt, and we expect such reliance to continue in the future.  Our total potential borrowing availability under our revolving credit facility was approximately $1.4 billion as of March 31,June 30, 2007, none of which is limited by covenant restrictions.  There can be no assurance that our actual availability under our credit facilities will not be limited by covenant restrictions in the future.

One of the conditions to the availability of funding under our credit facilities is the absence of a default under such facilities, including as a result of any failure to comply with the covenants under the facilities.  Among other covenants, the Charter Operating credit facilities require us to maintain specific leverage ratios.  The Charter Operating credit facilities also provide that Charter Operating has to obtain an unqualified audit opinion from its independent accountants for each fiscal year.  There can be no assurance that Charter Operating will be able to continue to comply with these or any other of the covenants under the credit facilities.

An event of default under the credit facilities or indentures, if not waived, could result in the acceleration of those debt obligations and, consequently, could trigger cross defaults under other agreements governing our and our parent companies’ long-term indebtedness.  In addition, the secured lenders under the Charter Operating credit facilities and the holders of the Charter Operating senior second-lien notes could foreclose on their collateral, which includes equity interest in our subsidiaries, and exercise other rights of secured creditors.  Any default under those credit facilities or the indentures governing our or our parent companies’ debt could adversely affect our growth, our financial condition, our results of operations, and our and our parent companies’ ability to make payments on our convertible notes, our credit facilities and our and our parent companies’ other debt, of our subsidiaries, and could force us to seek the protection of the bankruptcy laws, which could materially adversely impact our ability to operate our business and to make payments under our debt instruments.

We depend on generating sufficient cash flow and having access to additional external liquidity sources to fund our and our parent companies’ debt obligations, capital expenditures, and ongoing operations.

Our ability to service our and our parent companies’ debt and to fund our planned capital expenditures and ongoing operations will depend on both our and our parent companies’ ability to generate cash flow and our and our parent
 
35

 
companies’ ability to generate cash flow and our and our parent
companies’ access to additional external liquidity sources.  Our and our parent companies’ ability to generate cash flow is dependent on many factors, including:

·  competition from other distributors, including incumbent telephone companies, direct broadcast satellite operators, wireless broadband providers and DSL providers;
·  unforeseen difficulties we may encounter in our continued introduction ofintroducing and operating our telephone services, such as our ability to adequately meet heightened customer expectations for the reliability of voice services, compared to other services we provide, and our ability to adequately meet heightened demand for installations and customer service;
·  our ability to sustain and grow revenues and cash flows from operating activities by offering video, high-speed Internet, telephone and other services, and to maintain and grow a stableour customer base, particularly in the face of increasingly aggressive competition from other service providers;competition;
·  our ability to obtain programming at reasonable prices or to passadequately raise prices to offset the effects of higher programming cost increases on to our customers;costs;
·  general business conditions, economic uncertainty or slowdown; and
·  the effects of governmental regulation, including but not limited to local and state franchise authorities, on our business.

Some of these factors are beyond our control.  If we and our parent companies are unable to generate sufficient cash flow or access additional external liquidity sources, we and our parent companies may not be able to service and repay our and our parent companies’ debt, operate our business, respond to competitive challenges, or fund our and our parent companies’ other liquidity and capital needs.  Although we and our parent companies have been able to raise funds through issuances of debt in the past, we may not be able to access additional sources of external liquidity on similar terms, if at all.  We expect that cash on hand, cash flows from operating activities, and the amounts available under our credit facilities will be adequate to meet our and our parent companies’ cash needs through 2008.  We believe that cash flows from operating activities and amounts available under our credit facilities may not be sufficient to fund our operations and satisfy our and our parent companies’ interest and principal repayment obligations in 2009, and will not be sufficient to fund such needs in 2010 and beyond.  See “Part I.  Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Liquidity and Capital Resources.”  

Because of our holding company structure, our outstanding notes are structurally subordinated in right of payment to all liabilities of our subsidiaries.  Restrictions in our subsidiaries’ debt instruments and under applicable law limit their ability to provide funds to us or our various parent companies who are debt issuers.

Our primary assets are our equity interests in our subsidiaries.  Our operating subsidiaries are separate and distinct legal entities and are not obligated to make funds available to us for payments on our notes or other obligations in the form of loans, distributions or otherwise.  Our subsidiaries’ ability to make distributions to us is subject to their compliance with the terms of their credit facilities and indentures and restrictions under applicable law.  Under the Delaware limited liability company act, our subsidiaries may only make distributions to us if they have “surplus” as defined in the act.  Under fraudulent transfer laws, our subsidiaries may not make distributions to us or the applicable debt issuers to service debt obligations if they are insolvent or are rendered insolvent thereby.  The measures of insolvency for purposes of these fraudulent transfer laws vary depending upon the law applied in any proceeding to determine whether a fraudulent transfer has occurred. Generally, however, an entity would be considered insolvent if:

·  the sum of its debts, including contingent liabilities, was greater than the fair saleable value of all its assets;
·  the present fair saleable value of its assets was less than the amount that would be required to pay its probable liability on its existing debts, including contingent liabilities, as they became absolute and mature; or
·  it could not pay its debts as they became due.

While we believe that our relevant subsidiaries currently have surplus and are not insolvent, there can be no assurance that these subsidiaries will be permitted to make distributions in the future in compliance with these restrictions in amounts needed to service our indebtedness.  Our direct or indirect subsidiaries include the borrowers and guarantors under the Charter Operating and CCO Holdings credit facilities.  Several of our subsidiaries are also obligors and guarantors under other senior high yield notes.  As of March 31,June 30, 2007, our total debt was approximately $19.2 billion, of which approximately $18.6 billion was structurally senior to the Charter Holdings notes.
 
36

 
approximately $18.9 billion, of which approximately $17.9 billion was structurally senior to the Charter Holdings notes.

In the event of bankruptcy, liquidation or dissolution of one or more of our subsidiaries, that subsidiary’s assets would first be applied to satisfy its own obligations, and following such payments, such subsidiary may not have sufficient assets remaining to make payments to us as an equity holder or otherwise.  In that event:

·the lenders under Charter Operating’s credit facilities whose interests are secured by substantially all of our operating assets, will have the right to be paid in full before us from any of our subsidiaries’ assets; and
·the holders of preferred membership interests in our subsidiary, CC VIII, would have a claim on a portion of its assets that may reduce the amounts available for repayment to holders of our outstanding notes.

Risks Related to Our Business

We operate in a very competitive business environment, which affects our ability to attract and retain customers and can adversely affect our business and operations

The industry in which we operate is highly competitive and has become more so in recent years.  In some instances, we compete against companies with fewer regulatory burdens, easier access to financing, greater personnel resources, greater brand name recognition, and long-established relationships with regulatory authorities and customers.  Increasing consolidation in the cable industry and the repeal of certain ownership rules may provide additional benefits to certain of our competitors, either through access to financing, resources, or efficiencies of scale.

Our principal competitors for video services throughout our territory are direct broadcast satellite operators (“DBS”).  The two largest DBS providers are The DIRECTV Group, Inc. and Echostar Communications, Inc.  Competition from DBS, including intensive marketing efforts with aggressive pricing and exclusive programming has had an adverse impact on our ability to retain customers. DBS has grown rapidly over the last several years. The cable industry, including us, has lost a significant number of video customers to DBS competition, and we face serious challenges in this area in the future.  In some areas, DBS operators have entered into co-marketing arrangements with other of our competitors to offer service bundles combining video services provided by the DBS operator and digital subscriber line Internet services (“DSL”) along with traditional telephone service offered by the telephone companies.  These service bundles substantially resemble our bundles.  We believe that competition from DBS service providers may present greater challenges in areas of lower population density, and that our systems service a higher concentration of such areas than those of certain other major cable service providers.

Local telephone companies and electric utilities can offer video and other services in competition with us and they increasingly may do so in the future.  Two major local telephone companies, AT&T and Verizon, have both announced that they are making upgrades of their networks.  Some upgraded portions of these networks are or will be capable of carrying two-way video services that are comparable to ours, high-speed data services that operate at speeds as high or higher than those we make available to customers in these areas, and digital voice services that are similar to ours.  In addition, these companies continue to offer their traditional telephone services as well as bundles that include wireless voice services provided by affiliated companies.  Based on internal estimates, we believe that AT&T’s and Verizon’s upgrades have been completed in systems representing approximately 6% to 7% of our homes passed as of June 30, 2007, an increase from an estimated 2% at March 31, 2007. Additional upgrades in markets in which we operate are expected. In areas where they have launched video services, these parties are aggressively marketing video, voice and data bundles at entry level prices similar to those we use to market our bundles.

The existence of more than one cable system operating in the same territory is referred to as an overbuild.  Overbuilds could adversely affect our growth, financial condition, and results of operations, by creating or increasing competition.  Based on internal estimates, as of June 30, 2007, we are aware of traditional overbuild situations impacting approximately 8% of our estimated homes passed, and potential traditional overbuild situations in areas servicing approximately an additional 1% of our estimated homes passed.  Additional overbuild situations may occur in other systems.

With respect to our Internet access services, we face competition, including intensive marketing efforts and aggressive pricing, from telephone companies and other providers of DSL.  DSL service is competitive with high-speed Internet service over cable systems.  In addition, DBS providers have entered into joint marketing arrangements with Internet access providers to offer bundled video and Internet service, which competes with our
37

ability to provide bundled services to our customers.  Moreover, as we expand our telephone offerings, we will face considerable competition from established telephone companies and other carriers.

In order to attract new customers, from time to time we make promotional offers, including offers of temporarily reduced price or free service.  These promotional programs result in significant advertising, programming and operating expenses, and also require us to make capital expenditures to acquire customer premise equipment.  Customers who subscribe to our services as a result of these offerings may not remain customers for any significant period of time following the end of the promotional period.  A failure to retain existing customers and customers added through promotional offerings or to collect the amounts they owe us could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial results.

Mergers, joint ventures, and alliances among franchised, wireless, or private cable operators, DBS providers, local exchange carriers, and others, may provide additional benefits to some of our competitors, either through access to financing, resources, or efficiencies of scale, or the ability to provide multiple services in direct competition with us.

In addition to the various competitive factors discussed above, our business is subject to risks relating to increasing competition for the leisure and entertainment time of consumers. Our business competes with all other sources of entertainment and information delivery, including broadcast television, movies, live events, radio broadcasts, home video products, console games, print media, and the Internet.  Technological advancements, such as video-on-demand, new video formats, and Internet streaming and downloading, have increased the number of entertainment and information delivery choices available to consumers, and intensified the challenges posed by audience fragmentation. The increasing number of choices available to audiences could negatively impact not only consumer demand for our products and services, but also advertisers’ willingness to purchase advertising from us.  If we do not respond appropriately to further increases in the leisure and entertainment choices available to consumers, our competitive position could deteriorate, and our financial results could suffer.

We cannot assure you that our cable systems will allow us to compete effectively.  Additionally, as we expand our offerings to include other telecommunications services, and to introduce new and enhanced services, we will be subject to competition from other providers of the services we offer.  We cannot predict the extent to which competition may affect our business and operations in the future.

Risks Related to Regulatory and Legislative Matters

Our cable system franchises are non-exclusive. Accordingly, local franchising authorities can grant additional franchises and create competition in market areas where none existed previously, resulting in overbuilds, which could adversely affect results of operations.

Our cable system franchises are non-exclusive.  Consequently, local franchising authorities can grant additional franchises to competitors in the same geographic area or operate their own cable systems.  In addition, certain telephone companies are seeking authority to operate in local communities without first obtaining a local franchise.  As a result, competing operators may build systems in areas in which we hold franchises. In some cases, municipal utilities may legally compete with us without obtaining a franchise from the local franchising authority.

Legislative proposals have been introduced in the United States Congress and inmany state legislatures that would greatly streamline cable franchising.  This legislation is intended to facilitate entry by new competitors, particularly local telephone companies.  Such legislation has passed in numerous states, including states where we have significant operations.  Although most of these states have provided some regulatory relief for incumbent cable operators, some of these proposals are generally viewed as being more favorable to new entrants due to a number of factors, including efforts to withhold streamlined cable franchising from incumbents until after the expiration of their existing franchises, and the potential for new entrants to serve only higher-income areas of a particular community.  To the extent incumbent cable operatorswe are not able to avail themselvesourselves of this streamlined franchising process, such operatorswe may continue to be subject to more onerous franchise requirements at the local level than new entrants. In March 2007, the FCC released a ruling designed to streamline competitive cable franchising.  Among other things, the FCC prohibited local franchising authorities from imposing “unreasonable” build-out requirements and established a mechanism whereby competing providers can secure “interim authority” to offer cable service if the local franchising authority has not acted on a franchise application within 90 days (in the case of competitors with existing right of way authority) or 180 days (in the case of competitors without existing right of way authority).  Local regulators have appealed the FCC’s ruling.

The existence of more than one cable system operating in the same territory is referred to as an overbuild. These overbuilds could adversely affect our growth, financial condition and results of operations by creating or increasing competition. As of March 31, 2007, we are aware of traditional overbuild situations impacting approximately 9% of our estimated homes passed, and potential traditional overbuild situations in areas servicing approximately an additional 4% of our estimated homes passed. Additional overbuild situations may occur in other systems.

We may be required to provide access to our networksnetwork to other Internet service providers, which could significantly increase our competition and adversely affect our ability to provide new products and services.

A number of companies, including independent Internet service providers, or ISPs, have requested local authorities and the FCC to require cable operators to provide non-discriminatory access to cable’s broadband infrastructure, so that these companies may deliver Internet services directly to customers over cable facilities.  In a 2005 ruling, commonly referred to as Brand X, the Supreme Court upheld an FCC decision making it less likely that any nondiscriminatory “open access” requirements (which are generally associated with common carrier regulation of “telecommunications services”) will be imposed on the cable industry by local, state or federal authorities.  The Supreme Court held that the FCC was correct in classifying cable provided Internet service as an “information service,” rather than a “telecommunications service.”  Notwithstanding Brand X, there has been increasingcontinued advocacy by certain Internet content providers and consumer groups for new federal laws or regulations to adopt so-called
37

“net “net neutrality” principles limiting the ability of broadband network owners (like us) to manage and control their own networks.  The proposals might prevent network owners, for example, from charging bandwidth intensive content providers, such as certain online gaming, music, and video service providers, an additional fee to ensure quality delivery of the services to consumers.  If we were required to allocate a portion of our bandwidth capacity to other Internet service providers, or were prohibited from charging heavy bandwidth intensive services a fee for use of our networks, we believe that it could impair our ability to use our bandwidth in ways that would generate maximum revenues.  In April 2007, the FCC issued a notice of inquiry regarding the marketing practices of broadband providers as a precursor to considering the need for any FCC regulation of internet service providers.

Changes in channel carriage regulations could impose significant additional costs on us.

Cable operators also face significant regulation of their channel carriage.  They currentlyWe can be required to devote substantial capacity to the carriage of programming that theywe might not carry voluntarily, including certain local broadcast signals, local public, educational and government access programming, and unaffiliated commercial leased access programming.  This carriage burden could increase in the future, particularly if cable systems werewe are required to carry both thean analog and digital versions of local broadcast signals (dual carriage) or to carry multiple program streams included with a single digital broadcast transmission (multicast carriage).  Additional government-mandated broadcast carriage obligations could disrupt existing programming commitments, interfere with our preferred use of limited channel capacity, and limit our ability to offer services that would maximize customer appeal andour revenue potential.  Although the FCC issued a decision in February 2005, confirming an earlier ruling against mandating either dual carriage or multicast carriage, that decision is subject to a petition for reconsideration which is pending. In addition, the FCC could reverse its own ruling or Congress could legislate additional carriage obligations. The FCC is in the process of initiatingrecently initiated a new rulemaking to explore the cable industry’s carriage obligations once the broadcast industry transition from analog to digital transmission is completed in February 2009.  ItThe FCC is possibleconsidering new carriage obligations in an effort to facilitate that transition that could increase the FCC will rule in favorcapacity cable operators must devote to the retransmission of dual carriage and/or multicast carriage in certain circumstances.broadcast signals.
