Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To Plan Participants and the Plan Committee
Liberty Global 401(k) Savings and Stock Ownership Plan:
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for plan benefits of the Liberty Global 401(k) Savings and Stock Ownership Plan (the Plan) as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for plan benefits for the year ended December 31, 2009. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for plan benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the changes in net assets available for plan benefits for the year ended December 31, 2009, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules of assets (held at end of year) as of December 31, 2009 and reportable transactions for the year ended December 31, 2009 are presented for the purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements but are supplementary information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. These supplemental schedules are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. The supplemental schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

LIBERTY GLOBAL 401(K) SAVINGS AND STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN
Notes to Financial Statements
(1) Description of the Plan
The following description of the Liberty Global 401(k) Savings and Stock Ownership Plan (the Plan) provides only general information. Participants and all others should refer to the Plan agreement for a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions. Liberty Global, Inc. (LGI) reserves the right to amend the Plan at any time.
General
The Plan was established January 1, 1994 and is a defined contribution plan sponsored by LGI. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA). The Plan has been amended and restated at various dates, most recently as of December 1, 2009.
Eligibility
Employees of LGI and designated 80% or more owned subsidiaries of LGI are eligible to participate in the Plan. Collectively bargained employees, leased employees and Puerto Rico employees are not eligible to participate in the Plan.
Trustee and Recordkeeper
The trustee and recordkeeper of the Plan is Fidelity Management Trust Company (Fidelity or Trustee).
Contributions
Participants who are residents or citizens of the United States may make pre-tax contributions, Roth deferral contributions or a combination of pre-tax and Roth deferral contributions to the Plan of up to 60% (75% effective December 1, 2009) of their eligible compensation, as defined in the Plan. Participants who are not residents or citizens of the United States may make after-tax contributions to the Plan. Effective December 1, 2009, after-tax contributions may no longer be made. Catch-up contributions, as defined in the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001, are permitted for those eligible employees and are not matched by the employer. Participants may change their contribution percentages and type of contribution on each January 1, April 1, July 1 or October 1 and effective December 1, 2009, on the first day of every month. LGI may make matching contributions equal to 100% of participant contributions, up to a maximum match of 10% of eligible compensation. LGI reserves the right to change the matching contribution at any time. All participant contributions and employer matching contributions are subject to limitations as determined annually by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Participant pre-tax contributions and combined participant/employer contributions per participant were limited to $16,500 and $49,000, respectively, in 2009. Catch-up contributions for individuals age 50 and over were limited to $5,500 in 2009.
Participant contributions may be invested in any investment in the Plan at the employee’s election. All employer matching contributions are made in LGI Series C common stock. Participants who are fully vested in their employer contributions can transfer the investment in LGI Series A and LGI Series C common stock contributed by the employer to any investment in the Plan. Employer contributions for participants who are not fully vested remain in LGI Series C common stock.
Rollovers
Participants may elect to rollover amounts from other qualified plans or individual retirement accounts into the Plan provided that certain conditions are met.
Participant Loans
Participants may borrow from their fund accounts a minimum of $1,000 up to the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of their vested account balance. Unless the loan is for the purchase of a participant’s primary residence, loans must be repaid within five years and bear interest at a rate equal to the prime rate in effect on the first day of the calendar quarter in which the loan is originated plus 1%. Loans transferred from other plans retain the repayment terms and interest rates in effect at the time of transfer. Loans are secured by the vested balance in the participant’s account, and bear interest at rates ranging from 4.25% to 9.25% at December 31, 2009. Principal and interest are paid ratably through bi-weekly payroll deductions.

Forfeitures
Forfeitures of employer contributions (due to a participant’s termination prior to full vesting) are used to offset future matching contributions and to pay Plan administrative expenses other than participant loan fees (if any). Forfeitures of $18,050 and $13,083 were used to offset employer contributions and to pay Plan expenses, respectively during 2009. Unallocated forfeitures available as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 were $41,356 and $64,242, respectively. As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, forfeitures of nil and $16,455, respectively were used to offset the employer contributions receivable.
Investment Options
As of December 31, 2009, the Plan had various investment options, including 23 mutual funds, two employer stock funds, one money market fund and one common collective trust. Plan participants may change investment options on any day the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading.
Benefit Payments
Distributions from the Plan may be made to a participant upon attaining the age of 65, death, total disability, financial hardship (as defined in the Plan) or termination of employment. Distributions and other withdrawals are processed on a daily basis. Benefits may be paid in a lump-sum, or in installments, and employer stock may be received in-kind. In-kind distributions are priced at fair value and are accounted for when shares are transferred by the Trustee to participants.
Vesting
Participant contributions are always fully vested. Participants acquire a vested right in employer matching contributions as follows:
| | Vesting Percentages | |
Years of service | | Employer contributions on or after January 1, 2004 | | Employer contributions prior to January 1, 2004 | |
Less than 1 | | 0% | | | 0% | | |
1 | | 33% | | | 25% | | |
2 | | 66% | | | 50% | | |
3 | | 100% | | | 75% | | |
4 or more | | 100% | | | 100% | | |
Employer contributions become fully vested when a participant (i) attains the normal retirement age of 65, (ii) terminates employment due to disability or (iii) dies.
Plan Termination
Although LGI has not expressed any intent to terminate the Plan, it may do so at any time, subject to the provisions of ERISA. The Plan provides for full and immediate vesting of all participant rights upon termination of the Plan.
Participant Accounts
Participant accounts are credited with the participant’s contributions, employer contributions and earnings on investments and are charged with participant withdrawals, losses on investments and distributions on a daily basis. The investment earnings or losses of each investment fund are allocated to each participant’s account in accordance with the Plan document.
(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements of the Plan have been prepared on the accrual basis and present the net assets available for plan benefits and the changes in those net assets.

LIBERTY GLOBAL 401(K) SAVINGS AND STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN
Notes to Financial Statements - continued
Investments
Investments are reflected in the accompanying financial statements at fair value. For additional information, see note 5.
As required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP), only assets that are attributable to fully benefit-responsive investment contracts are eligible for contract value accounting treatment. The Plan invests in a common collective trust, the Fidelity Managed Income Portfolio, which meets the definition of the fully benefit-responsive investment contract. The statements of net assets available for plan benefits presents the fair value of the investment in the common collective trust as well as the adjustment of the investment in the common collective trust from fair value to contract value basis relating to the fully benefit-responsive investment contracts. The statement of changes in net assets available for plan benefits is prepared on a contract value basis.
Net appreciation (depreciation) in fair value of investments as reflected in the accompanying statement of changes in net assets available for plan benefits is determined as the difference between fair value at the beginning of the period (or date purchased during the year) and selling price or year-end fair value and includes any capital gain distributions.
Securities and investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. The cost basis of shares distributed is determined using the moving average method. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income from other investments is recorded as earned on an accrual basis.
Income Taxes
The IRS has determined and informed LGI by a letter dated November 3, 2005 that the Plan and related trust are designed in accordance with applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). Although the Plan has been amended and restated since receiving the determination letter, the Plan Administrator believes the Plan is designed and is currently being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC and therefore, the Plan is qualified and the related trust is tax-exempt as of the financial statement date.
Voting Rights of LGI Stock
Fidelity holds shares of LGI common stock on behalf of the Plan. Each participant or beneficiary of a deceased participant shall have the right to direct the Trustee as to the manner of voting and exercise of all other rights which a shareholder of record has with respect to shares of LGI common stock which have been allocated to the participant’s account. For all other investments in the Plan, Fidelity has the right to vote any shares.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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 additions and deductions during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Plan Expenses
Any forfeited employer contributions may be used to pay Plan expenses, if any, except for any fees related to participant loans or distributions, which are paid by the respective participants, and then to offset employer match contributions. Any additional administrative expenses of the Plan are paid directly by LGI, and accordingly, are not included in the Plan financial statements. Trustee and recordkeeping fees of $13,083 were paid to Fidelity through the forfeiture account during 2009. Loan and distribution fees paid by participants were $2,450 during 2009.
Payment of Benefits
Benefits are recorded when paid.

Contributions
Participant contributions and related employer contributions are recognized in the period during which the respective payroll deductions are made.
Related Party/Party-in-Interest Transactions
Under the terms of a trust agreement between LGI and the Trustee, the Trustee manages certain funds on behalf of the Plan and has been granted authority concerning purchases and sales of investments for the trust funds. Certain of the Plan’s investments are mutual funds, one money market fund and one common collective trust fund managed by Fidelity. There are also two funds which are comprised of LGI common stock.
Certain mutual funds may receive income in the form of revenue sharing as well as pay certain investment management fees from the fund. These are added to or deducted from the net asset value of the shares of the mutual funds held by the Plan, and are reflected in the net appreciation (depreciation) of those funds. During 2009, fees of $15,533 were paid to Fidelity. Transactions in such investments qualify as party-in-interest transactions, which are exempt from the prohibited transaction rules.
(3) Accounting Changes and Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Accounting Changes
SFAS 168
In May 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (SFAS 162), which identified the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements that are presented in conformity with GAAP. In June 2009, SFAS 162 was replaced by SFAS No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standard Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles — replacement of FASB Statement No. 162 (SFAS 168), subsequently codified within FASB Accounting Standards Codification (FASB ASC) Topic 105, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The FASB ASC is now the source of authoritative GAAP recognized by the FASB. The Plan adopted SFAS 168 effective July 1, 2009.
FSP 157-4
In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly (FSP 157-4), subsequently codified within FASB ASC 820. FSP 157-4 clarifies that transaction or quoted prices may not be determinative of fair value when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased. FSP 157-4 also includes guidance with respect to the circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly and the resulting ramifications on the fair value measurement for the asset or liability. The Plan adopted FSP 157-4 effective June 30, 2009.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
ASU 2010-06
In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (FASB ASU) No. 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820) - Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements (FASB ASU 2010-06). FASB ASU 2010-06 requires the reporting entity to disclose additional information on transfers in and out of fair value levels, measurement disclosures by classes of assets and descriptions of valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value (both recurring and nonrecurring fair value) in addition to other disclosures. FASB ASU 2010-06 is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for certain disclosures which will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. The Plan does not expect that the adoption will have a material impact on the Plan’s financial statements.

(4) Investments
The fair value of individual investments that represent 5% or more of the Plan’s net assets at December 31, 2009 and 2008 are as follows:
| | December 31, | |
| | 2009 | | 2008 | |
| | | | | |
LGI Series A common stock (a)(b) | | $ | 717,731 | | $ | 656,039 | |

Fidelity Blue Chip Growth Fund (b) | | $ | — | | $ | 991,870 | |
Fidelity Equity Income Fund (b) | | $ | — | | $ | 797,021 | |
(a) Participant and non-participant directed investments.
(b) Represents less than 5% of the Plan’s net assets at December 31, 2009.
(c) Represents less than 5% of the Plan’s net assets at December 31, 2008.
(5) Fair Value Measurements
GAAP provides for a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. Level 1 inputs are quoted market prices in active markets for identical investments that the Plan has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted market prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the Plan’s investments, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the Plan’s investments.
The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for the investments measured at fair value, including the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.
Money market funds, mutual funds and employer stock. These investments are valued at quoted market prices in an exchange and active market, which represent the net asset values of shares held by the Plan at year end and the Plan concludes that these investments should be classified as Level 1 investments.
Common collective trust (Fidelity Managed Income Portfolio). This investment is a fully benefit-responsive investment contract. The net asset value is quoted on a private market that is not active; however, the unit price is based on underlying investments which are traded on an active market. The Plan concludes that this investment should be classified as a Level 2 investment as this investment contains observable inputs but does not qualify as Level 1.
Participant loans. Participant loans are recorded at their outstanding balances, which the Plan concludes represent their fair values. Given that a participant loan is settled at its outstanding principal and interest balance regardless of the applicable interest rate, maturity and credit risk, the Plan concludes that the outstanding balance of a participant loan is the primary factor that should be considered in assessing the fair value of a participant loan. As the outstanding balance of a participant loan is an observable input, the Plan concludes that participant loans should be classified as Level 2 investments.
The preceding methods described may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, although the Plan has concluded that its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.

(7) Concentrations, Risks and Uncertainties
The Plan invests in (i) various money market and mutual funds, (ii) one common collective trust and (iii) common stock of LGI. Investment securities are exposed to various risks such as interest rate, credit and overall market volatility risks. Additionally, the value, liquidity and related income of the investment securities are sensitive to changes in economic conditions, including delinquencies or defaults and may be adversely affected by shifts in the market’s perception of the issuers or changes in interest rates. Shares of LGI common stock are also exposed to risks specific to LGI. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect participants’ account balances and the amounts reported in the statement of net assets available for plan benefits. Investment in the common stock of LGI represented approximately 24% and 21% of the net assets available for Plan benefits as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. As a result, changes in the LGI common stock price can have a significant impact on the Plan’s net assets available for plan benefits.
