CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS:

This quarterly report includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), regarding, among other things, our plans, strategies and prospects, both business and financial including, without limitation, the forward-looking statements set forth in the "Results of Operations" and "Liquidity and Capital Resources" sections under Part I, Item 2. "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in this quarterly report.  Although we believe that our plans, intentions and expectations reflected in or suggested by these forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot assure you that we will achieve or realize these plans, intentions or expectations.  Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions including, without limitation, the factors described under "Risk Factors" under Part II, Item 1A and the factors described under “Risk Factors” under Part I, Item 1A of our most recent Form 10-K filed with the SEC.  Many of the forward-looking statements contained in this quarterly report may be identified by the use of forward-looking words such as "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "should," "planned," "will," "may," "intend," "estimated," "aim," "on track," "target," "opportunity," and "potential," among others.  Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements we make in this quarterly report are set forth in this quarterly report and in other reports or documents that we file from time to time with the SEC, and include, but are not limited to:

 ·the availability, in general, of funds to meet interest payment obligations under our and our parent companies’ debt and to fund our operations and necessary capital expenditures, either through cash flows from operating activities, further borrowings or other sources and, in particular, our and our parent companies’ ability to fund debt obligations (by dividend, investment or otherwise) to the applicable obligor of such debt;
 ·our and our parent companies’ ability to comply with all covenants in our and our parent companies’ indentures and credit facilities, any violation of which, if not cured in a timely manner, could trigger a default of our other obligations under cross-default provisions;
 ·our and our parent companies’ ability to pay or refinance debt prior to or when it becomes due and/or refinance that debt through new issuances, exchange offers or otherwise, including restructuring our and our parent companies’ balance sheet and leverage position;
 ·the impact of competition from other distributors, including incumbent telephone companies, direct broadcast satellite operators, wireless broadband providers, and digital subscriber line (“DSL”) providers;
 ·difficulties in growing, further introducing, and operating our telephone services, while adequately meeting customer expectations for the reliability of voice services;
 ·our ability to adequately meet 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 our customer base, particularly in the face of increasingly aggressive competition;
 ·our ability to obtain programming at reasonable prices or to adequately raise prices to offset the effects of higher programming costs;
 ·general business conditions, economic uncertainty or slowdown, including the recent significant slowdown in the new housing sector and overall economy; and
 ·the effects of governmental regulation on our business.

All forward-looking statements attributable to us or any person acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement.  We are under no duty or obligation to update any of the forward-looking statements after the date of this quarterly report.

Organization and Basis of Presentation

Charter Communications Holdings, LLC ("Charter Holdings") is a holding company whose principal assets at March 31,June 30, 2008 are the equity interests in its subsidiaries, which include CCH II, LLC (“CCH II”) and CCO Holdings, LLC (“CCO Holdings”). Charter Holdings, CCH II, and CCO Holdings are indirect subsidiaries of Charter Communications Holding Company, LLC ("Charter Holdco"), which is a subsidiary of Charter Communications, Inc. (“Charter”).  Each set of consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Charter Holdings, CCH II, and CCO Holdings, and all of their respective subsidiaries where the underlying operations reside, which are collectively referred to herein as the "Companies."  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions among consolidated entities have been eliminated.

The Companies, through their operating subsidiary, Charter Communications Operating, LLC (“Charter Operating”), operate broadband communications businesses in the United States offering to residential and commercial customers traditional cable video programming (analog(basic and digital video), high-speed Internet services, and telephone services, as well as advanced broadband services such as high definition television, Charter OnDemand™ (“OnDemand”), and digital video recorder (“DVR”) service.  Cable video programming, high-speed Internet, telephone, and advanced broadband services are sold primarily on a subscription basis.  The Companies also sell local advertising on cable networks.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of the Companies 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 the Companies’ 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 (“GAAP”) 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 prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the 2008 presentation.

2.           Liquidity and Capital Resources

Charter Holdings and CCH II and CCO Holdings have each incurred net losses for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2008 and 2007 and expect to continue to incur net losses for the foreseeable future. For the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2008, CCO Holdings generated net income, however, there can be no assurance that CCO Holdings will continue to do so.   For the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, Charter Holdings, CCH II, and CCO Holdings each generated cash flows from operating activities.

The Companies have significant amounts of debt.  Charter Holdings’, CCH II’s, and CCO Holdings’ long-term debt as of March 31,June 30, 2008 totaled $20.2$20.1 billion, $13.0 billion, and $10.5 billion, respectively, consisting of $7.3 billion of credit facility debt, and $12.8 billion, $5.6 billion, and $3.2 billion accreted value of high-yield notes, respectively.  For the remainder of 2008, $53$36 million of Charter Operating’s credit facility debt matures.  As of March 31,June 30, 2008, an additional $188$165 million of Charter Holdings’ notes and $70 million of Charter Operating’s credit facility debt matures in 2009.  In 2010 and beyond, significant additional amounts will become due under the Companies’ remaining long-term debt obligations.

(dollars in millions, except where indicated)
In 2010 and beyond, significant additional amounts will become due under the Companies’ remaining long-term debt obligations.

The Companies require significant cash to fund debt service costs, capital expenditures and ongoing operations.  The Companies have historically funded these requirements through cash flows from operating activities, borrowings under credit facilities, equity contributions from their respective parent companies, proceeds from 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, 2008, Charter Holdings, CCH II, and CCO Holdings generated $203$180 million, $276$578 million, and $388$703 million of net cash flows from operating activities, respectively, after paying cash interest of $324$895 million, $250$497 million, and $137$372 million, respectively.  In addition, Charter Holdings, CCH II, and CCO Holdings used $347$650 million $341 million, and $336 million, respectively, for purchases of property, plant and equipment and short-term investments.equipment.  Finally, Charter Holdings, CCH II, and CCO Holdings generated net cash flows from financing activities of $624$571 million, $550$173 million, and $438$48 million, respectively, as a result of refinancingfinancing transactions completed during the quarter.six months ended June 30, 2008.  On a consolidated basis, the Companies’ parent companies have a significant level of debt, which totaled approximately $20.6$20.5 billion as of March 31,June 30, 2008.

The Companies expect that cash on hand, cash flows from operating activities, and the amounts available under the Charter Operating credit facilities will be adequate to fund their and their parent companies’ projected cash needs, including scheduled maturities, through 2009.  The Companies believe that cash flows from operating activities, and the amounts available under the Charter Operating credit facilities will not be sufficient to fund their and their parent companies’ projected cash needs in 2010 (primarily as a result of the CCH II $2.2$1.9 billion of senior notes maturingoutstanding at July 2, 2008 that mature in September 2010) and thereafter.  The Companies’ projected cash needs and projected sources of liquidity depend upon, among other things, the Companies’ actual results, the timing and amount of capital expenditures, and ongoing compliance with the Charter Operating credit facilities, including obtaining an unqualified audit opinion from its independent accountants.  Although the Companies and their parent companies have been able to refinance or otherwise fund the repayment of debt in the past, they may not be able to access additional sources of refinancing on similar terms or pricing as those that are currently in place, or at all, or otherwise obtain other sources of funding.  A continuation of the recent turmoil in the credit markets and the general economic downturn could adversely impact the terms and/or pricing when the Companies need to raise additional liquidity.  No assurances can be given that the Companies will not experience liquidity problems if they do not obtain sufficient additional financing on a timely basis as the Companies’ 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 the credit facilities, the Companies would consider issuing equity at therequesting that Charter or Charter Holdco level,issue equity, issuing debt securities, further reducing expenses and capital expenditures, selling assets, or requesting waivers or amendments with respect to the Companies’ credit facilities.

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

Credit Facility Availability

The Companies’ ability to operate depends upon, among other things, their continued access to capital, including credit under the Charter Operating credit facilities.  The Charter Operating credit facilities, along with the Companies’ indentures and the CCO Holdings credit facility, contain certain restrictive covenants, some of which require Charter Operatingthe Companies to maintain specified leverage ratios, meet financial tests, and provide annual audited financial statements with an unqualified opinion from the Companies’ independent accountants.  As of March 31,June 30, 2008, the Companies were in compliance with the covenants under their indentures and credit facilities, and the Companies expect to remain in

compliance with those covenants for the next twelve months.  As of March 31,June 30, 2008, the Companies’ potential availability under Charter Operating’s revolving credit facility totaled approximately $1.4 billion, none of which was limited by covenant restrictions.  Continued access to Charter Operating’s revolving credit facility is subject to the

Companies remaining in compliance with these covenants, including covenants tied to Charter Operating’s leverage ratio and first lien leverage ratio.  If any event of non-compliance were to occur, funding under the revolving credit facility may not be available and defaults on some or potentially all of the Companies’ debt obligations could occur.  An event of default under any of the Companies’ debt instruments could result in the acceleration of their payment obligations under that debt and, under certain circumstances, in cross-defaults under their otherparent companies’ debt obligations, which could have a material adverse effect on the Companies’ consolidated financial condition and results of operations.

Parent Company Debt Obligations

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

A failure by Charter Holdings, CCH I Holdings, LLC (“CIH”), CCH I, LLC (“CCH I”), CCH II, or CCO Holdings to satisfy their debt payment obligations could, or a bankruptcy with respect to Charter Holdings, CIH, CCH I, CCH II, or CCO Holdings would, give the lenders under the Companies’ credit facilities the right to accelerate the payment obligations under these facilities.  Any such acceleration would be a default under the indenture governing the Companies’ notes.

Limitations on Distributions

As long as Charter’s convertible senior 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.  Charter’s ability to make interest payments on its convertible senior notes, and to repay the outstanding principal of its convertible senior notes 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, 2008, Charter Holdco was owed $127$115 million in intercompany loans from Charter Operating, and had $63 million in cash and short-term investments, which amounts were available to pay interest and principal on Charter's convertible senior notes.   In April 2008,addition, as long as Charter Holdco used $66continues to hold the $35 million of Charter Holdings’ notes due 2009 and 2010 (as discussed further below), Charter Holdco will receive interest and principal payments from Charter Holdings.  Such amounts may be available to repurchasepay interest and principal on Charter’s convertible senior notes, although Charter convertible notes and Charter Holdings notes.  (See “Recent Financing Transactions” below.)Holdco may use those amounts for other purposes.

Distributions by Charter’s subsidiaries to a parent company for payment of principal on parent company notes, are restricted under the indentures governing the CIH notes, CCH I notes, CCH II notes, CCO Holdings notes, Charter Operating notes, and under the CCO Holdings credit facility, 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, 2008, there was no default under any of these indentures or credit facilities.  However, certain of the Companies’facilities and their subsidiaries did not meet theireach subsidiary met its applicable leverage ratio tests based on March 31,June 30, 2008 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 Companies’ andcontemplated distribution.  In the past, certain subsidiaries have from time to time failed to meet their subsidiaries to 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 the Charter Operating 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 facility.

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, 2008, 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, 2008 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 2008, Charter Operating issued $546 million principal amount of 10.875% senior second-lien notes due 2014 and borrowed $500 million principal amount of incremental term loans under the Charter Operating credit facilities (see Note 5).  In Aprilthe second quarter of 2008, Charter Holdco repurchased, in private transactions, from a small number of institutional holders, a total of approximately $35 million principal amount of various Charter Holdings notes due 2009 and 2010 and approximately $35$46 million principal amount of Charter’s 5.875% convertible senior notes due 2009, for approximately $66$77 million of cash.  Charter Holdco continues to hold the Charter Holdings notes.  The purchased 5.875% convertible senior notes were cancelled resulting in approximately $14$3 million principal amount of such notes remaining outstanding.

In July 2008, CCH II completed a tender offer, in which $338 million of CCH II’s 10.25% senior notes due 2010 were accepted for $364 million of CCH II’s 10.25% senior notes due 2013, which were issued as part of the same series of notes as CCH II’s $250 million aggregate principal amount of 10.25% senior notes due 2013, which were issued in September 2006.

3.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 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 Companies’ 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, 2008 and December 31, 2007, indefinite-lived and finite-lived intangible assets are presented in the following table:

Franchise amortization expense represents the amortization relating to franchises that did not qualify for indefinite-life treatment under SFAS No. 142, including costs associated with franchise renewals.  During the three months ended March 31, 2008, approximately $5 million of franchises that were previously classified as finite-lived were reclassified to indefinite-lived, based on these franchises migrating to state-wide franchising. Franchise amortization expense for each of the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 was approximately $1 million.  The Companies expect that amortization expense on franchise assets will be approximately $2 million annually for each of the next five years.

Franchise amortization expense represents the amortization relating to franchises that did not qualify for indefinite-life treatment under SFAS No. 142, including costs associated with franchise renewals.  During the six months ended June 30, 2008, the net carrying amount of indefinite-lived franchises was reduced by $2 million related to cable asset sales completed in 2008, and $4 million as a result of the finalization of purchase accounting related to cable asset acquisitions.  Additionally, during the six months ended June 30, 2008, approximately $5 million of franchises that were previously classified as finite-lived were reclassified to indefinite-lived, based on management’s assessment when these franchises migrated to state-wide franchising.  Franchise amortization expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 was approximately $0 and $1 million, respectively.  The Companies expect that amortization expense on franchise assets will be approximately $2 million annually for each of the next five years.  Actual amortization expense in future periods could differ from these estimates as a result of new intangible asset acquisitions or divestitures, changes in useful lives and other relevant factors.

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.  However, certain of the notes 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 is equal to the principal amount of March 31, 2008, the accreted value of Charter Holdings’, CCH II’s, and CCO Holdings’ debt for legal purposes and notes indenture purposes is $20.1 billion, $13.0 billion, and $10.6 billion, respectively.notes.

In March 2008, Charter Operating issued $546 million principal amount of 10.875% senior second-lien notes due 2014, guaranteed by CCO Holdings and certain other subsidiaries of Charter Operating, in a private transaction.  Net proceeds from the senior second-lien notes were used to reduce borrowings, but not commitments, under the revolving portion of the Charter Operating credit facilities.

The Charter Operating 10.875% senior second-lien notes may be redeemed at the option of Charter Operating on or after varying dates, in each case at a premium, plus the Make-Whole Premium.  The Make-Whole Premium is an amount equal to the excess of (a) the present value of the remaining interest and principal payments due on ana 10.875% senior second-lien note due 2014 to its final maturity date, computed using a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate on such date plus 0.50%, over (b) the outstanding principal amount of such note.  The Charter Operating 10.875% senior second-lien notes may be redeemed at any time on or after March 15, 2012 at specified prices.  In the event of specified change of control events, Charter Operating must offer to purchase the Charter Operating 10.875% senior second-lien notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the total principal amount of the Charter Operating notes repurchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon.

In addition, Charter Operating borrowed $500 million principal amount of incremental term loans (the "Incremental Term Loans") under the Charter Operating credit facilities. The Incremental Term Loans have a final maturity of

In the second quarter of 2008, Charter Holdco repurchased, in private transactions, from a small number of institutional holders, a total of approximately $35 million principal amount of various Charter Holdings notes due 2009 and 2010 and approximately $46 million principal amount of Charter’s 5.875% convertible senior notes due 2009, for approximately $77 million of cash.  Charter Holdco continues to hold the Charter Holdings notes and such notes are classified in Loans Payable – Related Party on Charter Holdings' condensed consolidated balance sheets.  The purchased 5.875% convertible senior notes were cancelled resulting in approximately $3 million principal amount of such notes remaining outstanding.

8.Comprehensive LossIncome (Loss)

The Companies report 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 loss.  Comprehensive loss for Charter Holdings CCH II, and CCO Holdings was $385 million, $191had comprehensive losses of $77 million and $131$231 million, for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and $307 million, $106$462 million and $46$538 million, for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.  CCH II had comprehensive income of $118 million for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2008.  CCH II had comprehensive losses of $36 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007, and $73 million and $142 million, for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.  CCO Holdings had comprehensive income of $179 million and $24 million, for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and $48 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008.  CCO Holdings had comprehensive losses of $22 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007.

9.Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Companies use interest rate swap agreements to manage interest costs and reduce the Companies’ exposure to increases in floating interest rates.  The Companies’ policy is to manage 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 Companies agree 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 Companies’ hedging policy does not permit them to hold or issue derivative instruments for speculative trading purposes.  The Companies do, 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 Companies have formally documented, designated and assessed the effectiveness of transactions that receive hedge accounting.  For each of the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2008 and 2007, there was no cash flow hedge ineffectiveness on interest rate swap agreements.  

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 specified by SFAS

No. 133 are reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss.  For the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2008 and 2007, lossesgains of $104$122 million and $2$50 million, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, gains of $18 million and $48 million, respectively, related to derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges, were recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss.  The amounts are subsequently reclassified as an increase or decrease to change in value of derivatives 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 a change in value of derivatives in the Companies’ consolidated statements of operations.  For the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2008 and 2007, change in value of derivatives includes lossesgains of $30$36 million and $1$6 million, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, gains of $6 million and $5 million, respectively, resulting from interest rate derivative instruments not designated as hedges.

As of March 31,June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the Companies had $4.3 billion in notional amounts of interest rate swaps outstanding.  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.

The Companies adopted SFAS 157, Fair Value Measurements, on their financial assets and liabilities effective January 1, 2008, and have an established process for determining fair value.  The Companies have deferred adoption of SFAS 157 on their nonfinancial assets and liabilities including fair value measurements under SFAS 142 and SFAS 144 of franchises, goodwill, property, plant, and equipment, and other long-term assets until January 1, 2009 as permitted by FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) 157-2.  Fair value is based upon quoted market prices, where available.  If such valuation methods are not available, fair value is based on internally or externally developed models using market-based or independently-sourced market parameters, where available.  Fair value may be subsequently adjusted to ensure that those assets and liabilities are recorded at fair value.  The Companies’ methodology may produce a fair value that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values, but the Companies believe their methods are appropriate and consistent with other market peers.  The use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value estimate as of the Companies’ reporting date.

SFAS 157 establishes a three-level hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements, based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date, as follows:

·  Level 1 – inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
·  Level 2 – inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
·  Level 3 – inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

Interest rate derivatives are valued using a present value calculation based on an implied forward LIBOR curve (adjusted for Charter Operating’s credit risk) classified within level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.

As part of the refinancing in March 2007, the existing Charter Operating $350 million revolving/term credit facility was terminated, resulting in a loss on extinguishment of debt for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 of approximately $12 million and $13 million, respectively.  In April 2007, Charter Holdings completed a tender offer resulting in a loss on extinguishment of debt for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 of approximately $3 million and CCO Holdings redeemed $550 million of senior floating rate notes resulting in a loss on extinguishment of debt for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 of approximately $19 million.

12.Income Taxes

Charter Holdings, CCH II, and CCO Holdings are single member limited liability companies not subject to income tax and hold all operations through indirect subsidiaries.  The majority of these indirect subsidiaries are limited liability companies that are also not subject to income tax.  However, certain of the limited liability companies are subject to state income tax.  In addition, certain of the Companies’ indirect subsidiaries are corporations subject to federal and state income tax.

As of March 31,June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the Companies had net deferred income tax liabilities of approximately $228 million and $226 million, respectively.million.  The deferred tax liabilities relate to certain of the Companies’ indirect subsidiaries that file separate income tax returns.

Income tax expense is recognized through current federal and state income tax expense, as well as, increases to the related deferred tax liabilities of certain of the Companies’ indirect subsidiaries.  During each of the three monthsmonth periods ended March 31,June 30, 2008 and 2007, the Companies recorded $2no income tax expense and $1 million of income tax expense.

Charter and Charter Holdco, the Companies’ indirect parent companies, are currently under examination by the Internal Revenue Service for the tax years ending December 31, 2004 and 2005.  Management does not expect the results of these examinations to have a material adverse effect on the Companies’ consolidated financial condition or results of operations.benefit,

respectively.  During the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, the Companies recorded $2 million and $1 million of income tax expense, respectively.

Charter and Charter Holdco, the Companies’ indirect parent companies, received notification from the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) examining agent that no changes to the 2004 and 2005 tax returns would be required as a result of their examination.  These findings are subject to the IRS Area Director’s approval.

13.           Related Party Transactions

The following sets forth certain transactions in which the Companies and the directors, executive officers, and affiliates of the Companies are involved.  Unless otherwise disclosed, management believes each of the transactions described below was on terms no less favorable to the Companies than could have been obtained from independent third parties.

Digeo, Inc.

Mr. Paul G. Allen, the controlling shareholder of Charter, through his 100% ownership of Vulcan Ventures Incorporated (“Vulcan Ventures”), owns a majority interest in Digeo, Inc. on a fully-converted fully-diluted basis.  Ms. Jo Allen Patton is a director of Charter and a director and Vice President of Vulcan Ventures.  Mr. Lance Conn is a director of Charter and is Executive Vice President of Vulcan Ventures.  Currently, Charter Operating owns 1.8% of Digeo, Inc.’s common stock.

In May 2008, Charter Operating entered into an agreement with Digeo Interactive, LLC, a subsidiary of Digeo, Inc., for the minimum purchase of high-definition DVR units for approximately $21 million.  This minimum purchase commitment is subject to reduction as a result of certain specified events such as the failure to deliver units timely and catastrophic failure.  The software for these units is being supplied under a software license agreement with Digeo Interactive, LLC; the cost of which is expected to be approximately $2 million for the initial licenses and on-going maintenance fees of approximately $0.3 million annually, subject to reduction to coincide with any reduction in the minimum purchase commitment.  For the six months ended June 30, 2008, Charter has not purchased any units from Digeo Interactive, LLC under these agreements.

14.    Contingencies

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

In the ordinary course of business, the Companies and their parent companies may face employment law claims, including claims under the Fair Labor Standards Act and wage and hour laws of the states in which we operate.   On August 15, 2007, a complaint was filed, on behalf of both nationwide and state of Wisconsin classes of certain categories of current and former technicians, against Charter Communications, LLC, a subsidiary of the Companies, and Charter Communications, Inc. in the United States District Court for the Western District of Wisconsin (Sjoblom v. Charter Communications, LLC and Charter Communications, Inc.), alleging that such entities violated the Fair Labor Standards Act and Wisconsin wage and hour laws by failing to pay technicians for certain hours claimed to have

been worked.  While the defendants believe they have substantial factual and legal defenses to the claims at issue, in order to avoid the cost and distraction of continuing to litigate the case, the Companies and their parent companies are in active negotiations with the plaintiffs to reach a settlement, which would be subject to the approval of the court.  The Companies have accrued expected settlement costs associated with the Sjoblom case (see Note 10).  If the Companies were subjected, in the normal course of business, to the assertion of other similar claims in other jurisdictions, the Companies could not predict the ultimate outcome of any such proceedings or claims.

The Companies and their parent companies are party to other lawsuits and claims that arise in the ordinary course of conducting their business.  The ultimate outcome of these other legal matters pending against the Companies or their subsidiariesparent companies cannot be predicted, and althoughpredicted.  Although such lawsuits and claims, including the employment law claims discussed above, are not expected individually to have abe material adverse effect onto the Companies’ consolidated financial condition, results of operations or liquidity, such lawsuits and claims could have,be, in the aggregate, a material adverse effect onto the Companies’ consolidated financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

14.15.           Stock Compensation Plans

Charter has stock compensation plans (the “Plans”) which provide for the grant of non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, dividend equivalent rights, performance units and performance shares, share awards, phantom stock and/or shares of restricted stock (not(shares of restricted stock not to exceed 20.0 million shares of Charter Class A common stock), as each term is defined in the Plans.  Employees, officers, consultants and directors of Charter and its subsidiaries and affiliates are eligible to receive grants under the Plans.  Options granted generally vest over four years from the grant date, with 25% generally vesting on the first anniversary of the grant date and ratably thereafter.  Generally, options expire 10 years from the grant date.  Restricted stock vests annually over a one to three-year period beginning from the date of grant.  The 2001 Stock Incentive Plan allows for the issuance of up to a total of 90.0 million shares of Charter Class A common stock (or units convertible into Charter Class A common stock).  In March 2008, Charter adopted an incentive program to allow for performance cash.  Under the incentive program, performance units under the 2001 Stock Incentive Plan and performance cash are deposited into a performance bank of which one-third of the balance is paid out each year.year, subject to meeting performance criteria.  During the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2008, Charter granted 9.90.7 million and 10.4 million shares of restricted stock, 11.7respectively.  During the six months ended June 30, 2008, Charter granted 11.5 million performance units and $8 million of performance cash under Charter’s 2008 incentive program.  

The Companies recorded $8 million and $5 million of stock compensation expense for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and $16 million and $10 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, which is included in selling, general, and administrative expense.

15.16.           Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133, which requires companies to disclose their objectives and strategies for using derivative instruments, whether or not designated as hedging instruments under SFAS 133.  SFAS 161 is effective for interim periods and fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008.  The Companies will adopt SFAS 161 effective January 1, 2009.  The Companies are currently assessing the impact of SFAS 161 on itstheir financial statements.

In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets, which amends the factors to be considered in renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset.  FSP FAS 142-3 is effective for interim periods and fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008.  The Companies do not believe that any other recently issued, but not yetwill adopt FSP FAS 142-3 effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effectJanuary 1, 2009.  The Companies are currently assessing the impact of FSP FAS 142-3 on their accompanying financial statements.

16.In May 2008, the FASB issued FSP APB 14-1, Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement), which specifies that issuers of convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon conversion should separately account for the liability and equity components in a manner reflecting their nonconvertible debt borrowing rate when interest costs are recognized in subsequent periods.  FSP APB 14-1 is effective for interim periods and fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008.  The Companies will adopt FSP APB 14-1 effective January 1, 2009.  The Companies are currently assessing the impact of FSP APB 14-1 on their financial statements.

The Companies do not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on their accompanying financial statements.

(a)"Customers" include all persons our corporate billing records show as receiving service (regardless of their payment status), except for complimentary accounts (such as our employees).  At March 31,June 30, 2008 and 2007, "customers" include approximately 30,60034,200 and 31,70031,300 persons whose accounts were over 60 days past due in payment, approximately 4,7005,300 and 4,1003,800 persons whose accounts were over 90 days past due in payment, and approximately 3,2002,600 and 2,0001,500 of which were over 120 days past due in payment, respectively.
 
(b)
"Basic video customers" include all residential customers who receive video cable services.
 
(c)Included within "basic video customers" are those in commercial and multi-dwelling structures, which are calculated on an equivalent bulk unit ("EBU") basis.  EBU is calculated for a system by dividing the bulk price charged to accounts in an area by the most prevalent price charged to non-bulk residential customers in that market for the comparable tier of service.  The EBU method of estimating basic video customers is consistent with the methodology used in determining costs paid to programmers and has been used consistently.

Overview
 
For the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2008 and 2007, our income from operations was $205$230 million and $156$200 million, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, our income from operations was $435 million and $356 million, respectively.  We had operating margins of 13%14% and 11%13% for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and 14% and 12% for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.  The increase in income from operations and operating margins for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2008 compared to the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2007 was principally due to an increase in revenue over cash expenses as a result of increased customers for high-speed Internet, digital video, and telephone, as well as overall rate increases.

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 amounts of debt, and depreciation expenses resulting from the capital investments we have made and continue to make in our cable properties.  We expect that these expenses will remain significant.

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 significant amounts of debt.  Charter Holdings’, CCH II’s, and CCO Holdings’ long-term debt as of March 31,June 30, 2008 totaled $20.2$20.1 billion, $13.0 billion, and $10.5 billion, respectively, consisting of $7.3 billion of credit facility debt, and $12.8 billion, $5.6 billion, and $3.2 billion accreted value of high-yield notes, respectively.  For the remainder of 2008, $53$36 million of Charter Operating’s credit facility debt matures.  As of March 31,June 30, 2008, an additional $188$165 million of Charter Holdings’ notes and $70 million of Charter Operating’s credit facility debt matures in 2009.  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 our parent companies, proceeds from 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, 2008, Charter Holdings, CCH II, and CCO Holdings generated $203$180 million, $276$578 million, and $388$703 million of net cash flows from operating activities after paying cash interest of $324$895 million, $250$497 million, and $137$372 million, respectively.  In addition, we used $347 million, $341 million, and $336$650 million for purchases of property, plant and equipment and short-term investments.equipment.  Finally, Charter Holdings, CCH II, and CCO Holdings generated net cash flows from financing activities of $624$571 million, $550$173 million, and $438$48 million, respectively, as a result of refinancingfinancing transactions completed during the quarter.six months ended June 30, 2008.  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 the Charter Operating credit facilities, our and our parent companies’ access to the debt markets, Charter’s access to the equity markets, the timing of possible asset sales, and based on our ability to generate cash flows from operating activities.  On a

consolidated basis, we and our parent companies have a significant level of debt, which totaled approximately $20.6$20.5 billion as of March 31,June 30, 2008.

We expect that cash on hand, cash flows from operating activities, and the amounts available under Charter Operating’s credit facilities will be adequate to fund our and our parent companies’ projected cash needs, including scheduled maturities, through 2009.  We believe that cash flows from operating activities and the amounts available under Charter Operating’s credit facilities will not be sufficient to fund our and our parent companies’ projected cash needs in 2010 (primarily as a result of the CCH II $2.2$1.9 billion of senior notes maturingoutstanding at July 2, 2008 that mature in September 2010) and thereafter.  Our projected cash needs and projected sources of liquidity depend upon, among other things, our actual results, the timing and amount of our capital expenditures, and ongoing compliance with the Charter Operating credit facilities, including obtaining an unqualified audit opinion from our independent accountants.  Although we and our parent companies have been able to refinance or otherwise fund the repayment of debt in the past, we and our parent companies may not be able to access additional sources of refinancing on similar terms or pricing as those that are currently in place, or at all, or otherwise obtain other sources of funding.  A continuation of the recent turmoil in the credit markets and the general economic downturn could adversely impact the terms and/or pricing when we need to raise additional liquidity.
38


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, we would consider:

·  issuing equity at therequesting that Charter or Charter Holdco level,issue equity, 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 were 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.

Credit Facility Availability

Our ability to operate depends upon, among other things, our continued access to capital, including credit under the Charter Operating credit facilities.  The Charter Operating credit facilities, along with our indentures and the CCO Holdings credit facility, contain certain restrictive covenants, some of which require us to maintain specified leverage ratios and meet financial tests, and provide annual audited financial statements with an unqualified opinion from our independent accountants.  As of March 31,June 30, 2008, we were 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, 2008, our potential availability under Charter Operating’s revolving credit facility totaled approximately $1.4 billion, none of which was limited by covenant restrictions.  Continued access to Charter Operating’s revolving credit facility is subject to our remaining in compliance with these covenants, including covenants tied to Charter Operating’s leverage ratio and first lien leverage ratio.  If any event of non-compliance were to occur, funding under the revolving credit facility 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 parent companies’ debt obligations, which could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition and results of operations.
42


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.

A failure by Charter Holdings, CCH I Holdings, LLC (“CIH”) CIH,, CCH I, LLC (“CCH I”), CCH II, or CCO Holdings to satisfy their debt payment obligations could, or a bankruptcy with respect to Charter Holdings, CIH, CCH I, CCH II, or CCO Holdings would, give the lenders under our credit facilities the right to accelerate the payment obligations under these facilities.  Any such acceleration would be a default under the indenture governing our notes.

Limitations on Distributions

As long as Charter’s convertible senior 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.  Charter’s ability to make interest payments on its convertible senior notes and to repay the outstanding principal of its convertible senior notes 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, 2008, Charter Holdco was owed $127$115 million in intercompany loans from Charter Operating, and had $63 million in cash and short-term investments,
39

which amounts were available to pay interest and principal on Charter's convertible senior notes.   In April 2008,addition, as long as Charter Holdco used $66continues to hold the $35 million of Charter Holdings’ notes due 2009 and 2010 (as discussed further below), Charter Holdco will receive interest and principal payments from Charter Holdings.  Such amounts may be available to repurchasepay interest and principal on Charter’s convertible senior notes, although Charter convertible notes and Charter Holdings notes. (See “Recent Financing Transactions” below.)Holdco may use those amounts for other purposes.

Distributions by Charter’s subsidiaries to a parent company for payment of principal on parent company notes, are restricted under the indentures governing the CIH notes, CCH I notes, CCH II notes, CCO Holdings notes, Charter Operating notes, and under the CCO Holdings credit facility, 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, 2008, 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, 2008 financial results.  As a result,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 the Charter Operating 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 facility.

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, 2008, there was no default under Charter Holdings’ indentures, and the other specified tests were met.  However,met, and Charter Holdings did not meetmet its leverage ratio test of 8.75 to 1.0 based on March 31,June 30, 2008 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 debt issuers.”

Recent Financing Transactions

On March 19, 2008, Charter Operating issued $546 million principal amount of 10.875% senior second-lien notes due 2014 (the “Notes"), guaranteed by CCO Holdings and certain other subsidiaries of Charter Operating, in a private transaction.  The net proceeds of this issuance were used to repay, but not permanently reduce, the outstanding debt balances under the existing revolving credit facility of Charter Operating.  The Notes were sold to qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A and outside the United States to non-U.S. persons in reliance on Regulation S.

On March 20, 2008, Charter Operating borrowed $500 million principal amount of incremental term loans (the "Incremental Term Loans") under the Charter Operating credit facilities.  The net proceeds were used for general corporate purposes.  The Incremental Term Loans have a final maturity of March 6, 2014 and prior to this date will amortize in quarterly principal installments totaling 1% annually beginning on June 30, 2008.  The Incremental Term Loans bear interest at LIBOR plus 5.0%, with a LIBOR floor of 3.5%, and are otherwise governed by and subject to the existing terms of the Charter Operating credit facilities.

In Aprilthe second quarter of 2008, Charter Holdco repurchased, in private transactions, from a small number of institutional holders, a total of approximately $35 million principal amount of various Charter Holdings notes due 2009 and 2010 and approximately $35$46 million principal amount of Charter’s 5.875% convertible senior notes due 2009, for $66approximately $77 million of cash.  Charter Holdco continues to hold the Charter Holdings notes.  The purchased 5.875% convertible senior notes were cancelled resulting in approximately $14$3 million principal amount of such notes remaining outstanding.

40

In July 2008, CCH II completed a tender offer, in which $338 million of CCH II’s 10.25% senior notes due 2010 were accepted for $364 million of CCH II’s 10.25% senior notes due 2013, which were issued as part of the same series of notes as CCH II’s $250 million aggregate principal amount of 10.25% senior notes due 2013, which were issued in September 2006.

Historical Operating, Investing, and Financing Activities

Cash and Cash Equivalents.  Charter Holdings, CCH II, and CCO Holdings each held $465 million, $464 million, and $464$62 million in cash and cash equivalents as of March 31,June 30, 2008 compared to $13 million, $7 million, and $2 million as of December 31, 2007, respectively.  The increase in cash and cash equivalents is primarily the result of the borrowing of $500 million of Incremental Term Loans under the Charter Operating credit facility in March 2008.
 
Operating Activities. Net cash provided by operating activities for Charter Holdings, decreased $63CCH II, and CCO Holdings was $180 million, or 24%, from $266$578 million, and $703 million for the threesix months ended March 31, 2007 to $203June 30, 2008, respectively, and $101 million, $501 million, and $627 million for the threesix months ended March 31, 2008,June 30, 2007, respectively.  The increases in net cash provided by operating activities for Charter Holdings, CCH II, and CCO Holdings were primarily as a result of changes in operating assets and liabilities that provided $106 million less cash during the three months ended March 31, 2008 than the corresponding period in 2007, offset by revenues increasing at a faster rate than cash expenses.

Net cash provided by operating activities for CCH II decreased $47 million, or 15%, from $323 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 to $276 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008, primarily as a result of changes in operating assets and liabilities that provided $86 million less cash during the three months ended March 31, 2008 than the corresponding period in 2007, offset by revenues increasing at a faster rate than cash expenses.

Net cash provided by operating activities for CCO Holdings decreased $48 million, or 11%, from $436 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 to $388 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008, primarily as a result of changes in operating assets and liabilities that provided $87 million less cash during the three months ended March 31, 2008 than the corresponding period in 2007, offset by revenues increasing at a faster rate than cash expenses.

Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities for Charter Holdings, CCH II, and CCO Holdings was $375$702 million, $369$696 million, and $364$691 million for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2008, respectively, and $321$587 million for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2007.  The increase is primarily due to an increase of $36$73 million in cash used for the purchase of property, plant, and equipment and $13 million, $7 million, and $2 million used to purchase short-term investments, respectively, by Charter Holdings, CCH II, and CCO Holdings.equipment.
 
Financing Activities. Net cash provided by financing activities for Charter Holdings, CCH II, and CCO Holdings was $624$571 million, $550$173 million, and $438$48 million, respectively, for the threesix months ended March 31, 2008, respectively.June 30, 2008.  For the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2007, net cash provided by financing activities for Charter Holdings and CCH II was $201$488 million and $33$88 million, respectively, and net cash used in financing activities for CCO Holdings was $80$39 million.  The increase in cash provided during the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2008 as compared to the corresponding period in 2007, for Charter Holdings, was primarily the result of increasedan increase in the amount by which borrowings exceeded repayments of long-term debt.  The increase in cash provided during the six months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to the corresponding period in 2007, for CCH II and CCO Holdings was primarily the result of a decrease in distributions.

Capital Expenditures

We have significant ongoing capital expenditure requirements.  Capital expenditures were $334$650 million and $298$579 million for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.  Capital expenditures increased as a result of spending on customer premise equipment and support capital to meet increased digital, high-speed Internet, and telephone 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 our credit facilities.  In addition, during the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2008 and 2007, our liabilities related to capital expenditures decreased $31$41 million and $32$39 million, respectively.

During 2008, we expect capital expenditures to be approximately $1.2 billion.  We expect 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 scalable infrastructure.  We have funded and expect to continue to fund capital expenditures for 2008 primarily from cash flows from operating activities and borrowings under our credit facilities. The actual amount of our capital expenditures depends on the deployment of advanced broadband services and offerings.  We may need additional capital if there is accelerated growth in high-speed Internet, telephone or digital customers or there is an increased need to respond to competitive pressures by expanding the delivery of other advanced services.
41

 
 
We have adopted capital expenditure disclosure guidance, which was developed by eleven then publicly traded cable system operators, including Charter, with the support of the National Cable & Telecommunications Association ("NCTA").  The disclosure is intended to provide more consistency in the reporting of capital expenditures among peer companies in the cable industry.  These disclosure guidelines are not required disclosures under 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, 2008 and 2007 (dollars in millions):

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Interest Rate Risk

We are exposed to various market risks, including fluctuations in interest rates.  We use interest rate swap agreements to manage our interest costs and reduce our exposure to increases in floating interest rates.  Our policy is to manage our 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, we agree to exchange, at specified intervals through 2013, the difference between fixed and variable interest amounts calculated by reference to agreed-upon notional principal amounts.

We do not hold or issue derivative instruments for trading purposes.  We do, 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.  We have formally documented, designated and assessed the effectiveness of transactions that receive hedge accounting.  For the each of the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2008 and 2007, there was no cash flow hedge ineffectiveness on interest rate swap agreements.

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 loss.  For the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2008 and 2007, lossesgains of $104$122 million and $2$50 million, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, gains of $18 million and $48 million, respectively, related to derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges, were recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss. The amounts are subsequently reclassified as an increase or decrease to change in value of derivatives 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 a change in value of derivatives in our statements of operations.  For the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2008 and 2007, change in value of derivatives included lossesgains of $30$36 million and $1$6 million, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, gains of $6 million and $5 million, respectively, resulting from interest rate derivative instruments not designated as hedges.

The notional amounts of interest rate instruments do not represent amounts exchanged by the parties and, thus, are not a measure of our exposure to credit loss.  The amounts exchanged are determined by reference to the notional amount and the other terms of the contracts.  The estimated fair value approximates the costs (proceeds) to settle the outstanding contracts.  Interest rates on variable debt are estimated using the average implied forward LIBOR for the year of maturity based on the yield curve in effect at March 31,June 30, 2008 including applicable bank spread.

At March 31,June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, we had $4.3 billion in notional amounts of interest rate swaps outstanding.  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.

Item 4.    Controls and Procedures.

As of the end of the period covered by this report, management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Interim 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 Interim 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.

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, we believe that our controls provide such reasonable assurances.

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31,June 30, 2008 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Legal Proceedings.

See Note 1314 to our consolidated financial statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a discussion concerning our legal proceedings.

Item 1A.Risk Factors.

Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 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 Parent Companies

We and our parent companies have a significant amount of 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 our debt instruments) incur additional debt in the future.  As of March 31,June 30, 2008, Charter Holdings, CCH II, and CCO Holdings had total debt of approximately $20.2$20.1 billion, $13.0 billion, and $10.5 billion, respectively,respectively. Charter Holdings and CCH II had deficiency of earnings to cover fixed charges for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2008 of approximately $277 million, $79$474 million and $19$77 million, respectively.  ForCCO Holdings ratio of earnings to fixed charges was 1.1 for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2008.  As of June 30, 2008, member’s deficit was approximately $7.6$7.7 billion and $633$855 million at Charter Holdings and at CCH II, respectively, and member’s equity was approximately $1.6$1.4 billion at CCO Holdings.  On a consolidated basis, we and our parent companies have a significant level of debt, which totaled approximately $20.6$20.5 billion as of March 31,June 30, 2008.

Because of the significant indebtedness of us and our parent companies and adverse changes in the capital markets, our and our parent companies’ ability to raise additional capital at reasonable rates or at all is uncertain, and our and our parent companies’ ability to make distributions or payments to parent companies is subject to availability of funds and restrictions under our and their applicable debt instruments and under applicable law.  Our and our parent companies’ indentures currently permit us and our parent companies to provide funds to our and their respective parent companies to pay interest on debt or to repay, repurchase, redeem, or defease debt, subject to certain conditions.  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 amounts 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, reducing 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;
 ·place us at a disadvantage compared to our competitors that have proportionately less debt;
 ·make us vulnerable to interest rate increases, because net of hedging transactions approximately 16%, 24%, and 31%, of Charter Holdings’, CCH II’s, and CCO Holdings’ borrowings, respectively, are, and will continue to be, subject to variable rates of interest;
 ·expose us to increased interest expense to the extent we refinance existing debt with higher cost debt;
 ·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 and our parent companies’ debt;
 ·make it more difficult for us and our parent companies to satisfy our and their obligations to the holders of our and their notes and to our and our parent companies’ lenders under our credit facilities; and

 
4548



 ·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 under our debt obligations could result in the acceleration of those obligations, which in turn could trigger cross-defaults under other agreements governing our long-term indebtedness.  In addition, the secured lenders under the Charter Operating credit facilities, the holders of the Charter Operating senior second-lien notes, the secured lenders under the CCO Holdings credit facility, and the holders of the CCH I notes could foreclose on the collateral, which includes equity interests in certain of our subsidiaries, and exercise other rights of secured creditors.  Any default under 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 and our parent companies’ debt, and Charter Operating’s credit facilities, 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 amounts increase, the related risks that we now face will intensify.

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

We have historically relied on access to credit facilities to fund operations, capital expenditures, 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, 2008, none of which was limited by covenant restrictions.  There can be no assurance that actual availability under our credit facility will not be limited by covenant restrictions in the future.

One of the conditions to the availability of funding under the Charter Operating revolving credit facility is the absence of a default under such facility, including as a result of any failure to comply with the covenants under the facilities.  Among other covenants, the Charter Operating credit facility requires us to maintain specified leverage ratios.  The Charter Operating revolving credit facility also provides that Charter Operating obtain an unqualified audit opinion from its independent accountants for each fiscal year, which, among other things, requires Charter to demonstrate its ability to fund its projected liquidity needs for a reasonable period of time following the balance sheet date of the financial statements being audited.  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.  See “—We and our parent companies have a significant amount of 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” for a discussion of the consequences of a default under our and our parent companies’ debt obligations.

We depend on generating (and having available to the applicable obligor) sufficient cash flow and having access to additional 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 ability to generate and grow cash flow and our and our parent companies’ access (by dividend or otherwise) to additional liquidity sources.  Our ability to generate and grow cash flow is dependent on many factors, including:

·  the impact of competition from other distributors, including incumbent telephone companies, direct broadcast satellite operators, wireless broadband providers and DSL providers;
·  difficulties in growing, further introducing, and operating our telephone services, while adequately meeting customer expectations for the reliability of voice services;
·  our ability to adequately meet 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 our customer base, particularly in the face of increasingly aggressive competition;
·  our ability to obtain programming at reasonable prices or to adequately raise prices to offset the effects of higher programming costs;
·  general business conditions, economic uncertainty or slowdown, including the recent significant slowdown in the new housing sector and overall economy; and
46



·  the effects of governmental regulation on our business.

Some of these factors are beyond our control.  It is also difficult to assess the impact that the general economic downturn and recent turmoil in the credit markets will have on future operations and financial results.  However, we believe there is risk that the economic slowdown could result in reduced spending by customers and advertisers, which could reduce our revenues and our cash flows from operating activities from those that otherwise would have been generated.  If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow or we and our parent companies are unable to access additional 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.  We expect that cash on hand, cash flows from operating activities, and the amounts available under Charter Operating’s credit facilities will be adequate to fund our and our parent companies’ projected cash needs, including scheduled maturities, through 2009.  We believe that cash flows from operating activities, and the amounts available under the Charter Operating credit facilities will not be sufficient to fund our and our parent companies’ projected cash needs in 2010 (primarily as a result of the CCH II $2.2$1.9 billion of senior notes maturingoutstanding at July 2, 2008 that mature in September 2010) and thereafter.  Our projected cash needs and projected sources of liquidity depend upon, among other things, our actual results, the timing and amount of our capital expenditures, and ongoing compliance with the Charter Operating credit facilities, including obtaining an unqualified audit opinion from our independent accountants.  Although we and our parent companies have been able to refinance or otherwise fund the repayment of debt in the past, we and our parent companies may not be able to access additional sources of refinancing on similar terms or pricing as those that are currently in place, or at all, or otherwise obtain other sources of funding.  An inability to access additional sources of liquidity to fund our and our parent companies’ cash needs in 2010 or thereafter or to refinance or otherwise fund the repayment of the CCH II
49

senior notes could adversely affect our growth, our financial condition, our results of operations, and our and our parent companies’ ability to make payments on our and their debt, 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 and our parent companies’ debt instruments.  See “Part I.  Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Liquidity and Capital Resources.”  

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

We have historically relied on access to credit facilities to fund operations, capital expenditures, and to service our and our parent companies’ 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 June 30, 2008, none of which was limited by covenant restrictions.  There can be no assurance that actual availability under our credit facility will not be limited by covenant restrictions in the future.

One of the conditions to the availability of funding under the Charter Operating revolving credit facility is the absence of a default under such facility, including as a result of any failure to comply with the covenants under the facilities.  Among other covenants, the Charter Operating credit facility requires us to maintain specified leverage ratios.  The Charter Operating revolving credit facility also provides that Charter Operating obtain an unqualified audit opinion from its independent accountants for each fiscal year, which, among other things, requires Charter to demonstrate its ability to fund its and its subsidiaries’ projected liquidity needs for a reasonable period of time following the balance sheet date of the financial statements being audited.  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.  See “—We and our parent companies have a significant amount of 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” for a discussion of the consequences of a default under our and our parent companies’ debt obligations.

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 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 or the applicable debt issuers to service debt obligations is subject to their compliance with the terms of their credit facilities and indentures and restrictions under applicable law.  See “Part I. Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Liquidity and Capital Resources — Limitations on Distributions.”  Under the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act, our subsidiaries may only make distributions if they have “surplus” as defined in the act.  Under fraudulent transfer laws, our subsidiaries may not pay dividends 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 become 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 not become insolvent or 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 senior high yield notes.  As of March 31,June 30, 2008, Charter Holdings’, CCH II’s, and CCO Holdings’ total long-term debt was approximately $20.2$20.1 billion, $13.0 billion, and $10.5
50

$10.5 billion, respectively, of which approximately $19.6 billion, $10.5 billion, and $9.4 billion was structurally senior to the Charter Holdings, CCH II, and CCO Holdings notes, respectively.
47


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 its parent company 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, and all holders of other debt of our subsidiaries, 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.
