⁽¹⁾: According to the update of the IFRIC agenda decision on IAS 39 accounting changes regarding assessing hedge effectiveness of interest rate swaps in a cash flow hedge have been made for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2005, 2006 and 2007. For a detailed description please refer to chapter Note 1.2 in the Notes to the consolidated financial statements of KDG and KDVS under ITEM 17 Financial Statements.
⁽²⁾: Includes €154.7 million of depreciation and amortization in FY 2008; €133.1 million in FY 2007; €117.4 million in FY 2006; €206.7 million in FY 2005; €261.8 million in FY 2004.
⁽³⁾: Includes €115.5 million of depreciation and amortization in FY 2008; €96 million in FY 2007; €88.2 million in FY 2006; €81.2 million in FY 2005; €92.4 million in FY 2004.
⁽⁴⁾: Includes €23.8 million of depreciation and amortization in FY 2008; €17.5 million in FY 2007; €15.2 million in FY 2006; €9.8 million in FY 2005; €10.1 million in FY 2004.
⁽⁵⁾: Profit from ordinary activities before depreciation, amortization, non-cash compensation, which consists primarily of expenses related to our management equity programs and non-cash restructuring expenses ("Adjusted EBITDA"), is a measure used by management to measure our operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA is not a recognized accounting term, does not purport to be an alternative to profit from ordinary activities or cash flow from operating activities and should not be used as a measure of liquidity. We believe Adjusted EBITDA facilitates operating performance comparisons from period to period and company to company by eliminating potential differences caused by variations in tax positions (such as the impact on periods or companies of changes in effective tax rates or net operating losses) and the age and book depreciation of tangible assets (affecting relative depreciation expense). Because other companies may not calculate Adjusted EBITDA identically to us, our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA is not calculated in the same way that "Consolidated EBITDA" is calculated under the indenture governing the Notes or under the terms of our Senior Credit Facilities. However, Adjusted EBITDA is a commonly used term to compare the operating activities of cable companies.
⁽⁶⁾: Adjusted EBITDA margin is a calculation of Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of total revenues.

Not applicable.

C. Reasons for the Offer and Use of Proceeds

Not applicable.

D. Risk Factors

The risks described below are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial may also materially affect our business, financial condition or results of operations adversely. See also ITEM 4B Our Business—The Risk Management System for KDG.

Risks Relating to Our Business

We operate in highly competitive industries, and competitive pressures could have a material adverse effect on our business.

We face significant competition from established and new competitors. In some instances, we compete against companies subject to less regulation and with better access to financing, more comprehensive product offerings, greater personnel resources, greater brand name recognition and experience or longer-established relationships with regulatory authorities and customers.

Cable Television. We may not be able to successfully compete in the cable television market. This market may also be adversely affected by competition from other means of transmission and entertainment mediums. The market is becoming increasingly competitive, especially as new technologies emerge as viable alternatives.

•: Satellite. In particular, we face competition from satellite distribution of free-to-air (FTA) television program streams, which has been gaining market share over recent years. Although data is limited, one satellite competitor source has published data indicating that the market share of satellite distribution increased from 37.2% to 42.6% between end of 2002 and 2007 while the market share of cable television decreased from 55.9% to 53.4% (according to AGF/GfK). In the same period, the number of our basic television access subscribers has declined.

Satellite has a number of competitive advantages over cable: among other things, it has a wider reach, especially in rural areas, and does not charge on-going subscription fees. Although cable television currently benefits from German zoning laws that restrict the installation of satellite dishes in certain areas, and housing association contracts with residents of multi-unit dwellings that frequently prohibit tenants from attaching satellite dishes to their apartments if cable is installed, these zoning laws may be changed in the future. As a result, this might ultimately further intensify competition with satellite providers. The acceptance of satellite dishes and technology to housing associations may also increase in the future.

•: Other delivery and entertainment systems. Our market share may also be adversely affected by terrestrial transmission of digital television, other means of TV signal delivery and emerging technologies (e.g. Internet Protocol TV, IPTV and mobile TV). The market share of digital terrestrial television (DTT), which is now available in most of Germany's urban regions and has replaced analog terrestrial broadcasting there, is not significant at present and its program offering is limited to between 12 and 24 programs depending on the region. Nevertheless, demand for digital terrestrial television may increase in the future as it charges no subscription fees, is likely to become more widely available and the price of the receiving equipment is likely to decrease. We expect digital terrestrial television to be a meaningful competitor to cable and satellite. So far, market share of terrestrial TV distribution does not exceed 5% (Source: AGF/GfK 2008). German state media authorities are promoting the switch-over from analog to digital terrestrial television, further promoting increased competition from digital terrestrial television. Improvements are also being made to alternative means of transmission, such as the provision of video signals by providers of digital subscriber line (DSL) services. The leading provider of these IPTV and video-on-demand (VoD) services in Germany is Deutsche Telekom AG (DTAG), which offers these services under the brand T-HOME and has increased marketing efforts. Furthermore, DTAG has currently built a VDSL network in 27 cities and plans to roll out VDSL in further cities. With this premium VDSL/ADSL2+ product offering they intend to reach up to 20 million homes by the end of 2008 according to DTAG's announced plans. DTAG claims that the VDSL network delivers speeds of up to 50 Mbit/s. In addition, other telecommunications network providers, which are regionally focused, also offer IPTV and VoD services, in particular video-over-DSL (VoDSL) services, in selected cities. Furthermore, there

are political considerations to free up frequencies currently devoted to broadcasting for mobile, stationary and/or wireless technologies in order to close existing gaps in broadband availability in Germany and to foster competition (the so called 'digital dividend'). Although these services are not yet comparable with the quality, breadth and user convenience of our service, they could develop into a major competitive force in the market for television distribution. Our services also compete to varying degrees with other entertainment media, including home entertainment systems and cinema. The full extent to which these media and alternative technologies will compete effectively with our cable television system may not be known for several years.

•: Level 4 operators. We also compete with alternative providers of television and radio signals over cable networks, principally Level 4 operators. As we continue to increase our number of direct customers, particularly within housing associations, we are in direct competition with the Level 4 operators, who for historical reasons are often the traditional providers of services to such customers and have existing contractual relationships with them. Level 4 operators typically enter into contracts with housing associations with an average term of ten to fifteen years, which limits our opportunities to win them as new customers and may hinder our efforts to market our services effectively to housing associations and their tenants. Level 4 operators and housing associations also seek opportunities to build their own Level 3 networks where economically viable hereby disconnecting from our network. Competition from Level 4 operators and housing associations could increase in the future as the industry undergoes ownership changes and potentially consolidates. In addition, Level 4 operators may have certain competitive advantages over our business, including the lack of regulation of their pricing. Over the recent quarters in our footprint Orion Cable (Orion) has formed a large entity by buying several Level 4 operators, i.e. EWT/Bosch (ewt), Tele Columbus GmbH (Telecolumbus) assets from Unity Media in our region and PrimaCom AG (Primacom).

Pay TV product providers. As we seek further subscribers to our new pay TV products, we may effectively be competing with those providers of pay TV products that currently utilize our network to reach their own subscribers, in particular a major pay television provider in Germany. As a consequence, these digital product providers may decide to use alternative distribution platforms, such as satellite, adversely affecting our ability to generate digital carriage fees, which we currently derive from digital product providers for distributing their signals over our network.

Digital playout facility. We face competition with respect to the services provided by our digital playout facility as other regional cable companies, Unity Media and Kabel Baden-Wuerttemberg (Kabel BW), have built their own playout facilities for packaging, encrypting and distribution of their digital television programming. For example, Unity Media phased out the use of our services during 2006 and 2007, Kabel BW started to phase out the use of our services in the first quarter of 2008 and is expected to discontinue using our services by the end of calendar year 2008.

Internet services. The Internet services business in Germany is highly competitive. We compete with companies that provide low-speed and low priced Internet access services over traditional fixed telephone lines as well as Internet access distributed mostly over DSL. The major DSL service provider in Germany is DTAG, the dominant and incumbent fixed-line telephony provider in Germany. We also compete with service providers that use other alternative technologies for Internet access, such as two-way satellite systems, power line connections and various wireless access, including: wireless local area networks (WLAN) or wireless fidelity (WiFi) access, Universal Mobile Telecommunication Services (UMTS), General Packet Radio Services (GPRS), an enlargement of global system for mobile communications (GSM) coverage areas, and point-to-multipoint wireless access. In the future, additional access technologies will be launched that will further increase competition.

Residential telephony market. The market for residential telephony is highly competitive. The fixed-line telephony market is increasingly under pressure from resellers, alternative carriers, declining

mobile phone charges and alternative access technologies like Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) and Internet telephony offered via DSL or other broadband connections. The German market for residential telephony services is relatively price sensitive and already on a low price level compared by international standards. We expect increasing competition, including price competition, from traditional and non-traditional telephony providers in the future. Most alternative carriers rely on regulated wholesale services from DTAG for their own telephony services. These wholesale services are currently subject to price regulation which commercially limits the ability of alternative carriers to lower prices on retail telephony markets. There can be no assurance that these price regulations or other market regulations will remain in effect.

Failure to control customer churn may adversely affect our business.

Customer churn refers to those customers who stop subscribing to our services. Churn arises mainly as a result of relocation or death of subscribers, price increases and competition. In addition, our customer churn rate may also increase as a result of competition from new technology access platforms or if we are unable to provide satisfactory service to our customers. Any increase in customer churn may lead to both reduced revenues from direct-subscribers, housing associations and Level 4 operators and reduced revenues from broadcasters whose carriage fees are related to the number of subscribers we reach with our network.

We may not be able to renew our existing contracts with Level 4 operators and housing associations upon their expiration on commercially attractive terms, if at all, or attract new subscribers by entering into new contracts with Level 4 operators and housing associations.

The successful implementation of our business strategy depends, in part, upon how successful we are in renewing our existing agreements with Level 4 operators and housing associations on favourable terms upon their expiration or in attracting Level 4 operators and housing associations to enter into new contracts. A number of our largest contracts with Level 4 operators are framework contracts and are due to expire between 2008 and 2012.

Under those framework contracts, the terms and conditions of the signal delivery are set out. These terms and conditions in most cases do not include an obligation of the Level 4 operator to purchase our signal for a certain number of houses. In such cases, the Level 4 operator can choose to disconnect from our signal and obtain their signal from alternative sources, such as a satellite provider, even before the end of the contract term.

Given, that some of these Level 4 operators are also our competitors in certain markets, it is possible, that we will experience continued disconnections from this customer group.

In addition, since 2007 we have been subject to the so called Market 18 (as defined below). This regulation currently limits our pricing flexibility, which may have a negative impact on the extension of existing contracts or new contracts with Level 4 operators.

When existing contracts expire, Level 4 operators and housing associations may attempt to negotiate discounts. Level 4 operators and housing associations may also choose to completely disconnect from our network and obtain their signal from alternative sources, such as a satellite provider. Some Level 4 operators and housing associations have chosen these alternatives in the past.

Our inability to renew our existing Level 4 and housing association contracts or enter into new contracts on commercially favorable terms, if at all, could lead to reduced sales and lower margins and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Level 4 operators and large housing associations may seek to reduce their signal delivery costs through clustering, which could adversely affect our profitability.

Our subscription fees are based on our published rate card, according to which the standard rates are linked to the number of subscribers per connection point. Our fee schedule provides for higher discounts depending on the number of subscribers aggregated behind one connection point. In addition, Level 4 operators and large housing associations with large subscriber clusters may have a better bargaining position, allowing them to negotiate for discounts on our published rate card or establish their own head-end and disconnect from our network entirely.

If we fail to introduce and establish new or enhanced products and services successfully, our revenues and margins could be lower than expected.

Part of our business strategy is based on the expansion of the products and services we offer, including:

•: enhanced digital cable television services, including pay TV channels, pay-per-view, VoD offerings and PVR services;
•: Internet services;
•: Phone services; and
•: other bundled offers consisting of TV, Internet & Phone services.

Digital cable television. KDG has secured and aims to secure TV distribution rights including certain rights for its pay TV offering on a non-exclusive basis. We may not always be able to acquire the targeted rights or acquire them at economically attractive prices in the future. This might have a detrimental effect on our ability to gain and retain pay TV as well as basic cable subscribers.

Internet & Phone. Internet & Phone markets are very competitive and any of the new or enhanced products or services we introduce or have introduced may fail to achieve market acceptance or new or enhanced products or services introduced by our competitors may be more appealing to customers. As a consequence, for example, if our new Internet offering is not successful, our basic cable subscribers may decide to discontinue using our services altogether and choose other TV distribution platforms. This effect could be exacerbated by the fact that customer churn rates are generally higher for Internet & Phone services than for cable television services.

In addition, our Internet & Phone products and services may not generate profits for the time being and we may not be able to recover the investments, such as the costs of network upgrades and marketing expenses, made to launch new products and services. Moreover, these new products and services may result in a decline of ARPU (Average Revenue per Unit) related to those products and services, due to promotional offers that generate less revenue and result in lower margins, and Adjusted EBITDA, due to the costs of implementation, distribution and technology enhancement of such products.

Internet & Phone over broadband cable are relatively new products that might present unknown technological challenges both to our own systems and resources and to those of our suppliers. In connection with the rollout of Internet & Phone we rely on third parties to upgrade the hardware of the end customers and to connect our telephony customers to the German telephony networks. Demand for new products and services might exceed the capacities of these third parties creating a backlog of new customers to be connected and increased lead times which could in turn result in increased customer churn. Further, there can be no assurance that these third parties will meet our expectations with respect to quality and lead times.

Our move towards pay television services may erode our ability to generate revenue from carriage fees, as our pay television contracts would typically require us to pay for programs which we then resell to subscribers rather than having content providers pay us for transmission to the broadcaster's subscribers. If we fail to generate greater profits from our pay television subscription revenues than we would have achieved through providing carriage services to other operators, then our results of operations and financial condition, including our liquidity, will be adversely affected.

A number of contracts for access to pay TV programs require us to pay prices for programs based on a guaranteed minimum number of subscribers, notwithstanding a lower number of actual subscribers. Therefore, if we misjudge anticipated demand for programs, the profitability of our business may be impaired.

Consent of Level 4 operators and housing associations to market new products. We need the consent of Level 4 operators and housing associations in order to market our pay TV, Internet & Phone services to their end customers. Such marketing of pay television, Internet or phone access subscriptions is not generally covered by our standard cable television signal delivery agreements. We have entered into agreements permitting us to market our pay TV services directly to end customers with many of the Level 4 operators using our cable television services. With respect to the marketing of our Internet & Phone services we currently have an agreement with different Level 4 operators and a increasing number of housing associations. To the extent that we are unable to amend existing agreements or obtain new agreements with the remaining Level 4 operators and housing associations, we may market our new products and services to our direct end customers only, which may adversely affect the penetration of our new products and services and may make the offering of such new products and services uneconomical.

We rely on DTAG and certain of its affiliates for a significant part of our network.

While we compete with DTAG in a number of areas, we also rely on various long-term agreements with DTAG and certain of its affiliates that are significant to our business, including for the lease of cable duct space for approximately 13% of our cable network as well as the use of fiber optic transmission systems and facility space. In addition, we purchase the electrical power required for the operation of our network through DTAG. Our ability to offer our services to our customers depends on the performance of DTAG and its affiliates of their respective obligations under these arrangements. In particular, we rely on DTAG to provide us with timely access to co-located facilities, especially for the purposes of maintaining and repairing our network and avoiding or rectifying network outages. Our increasing direct competition with DTAG, caused by the introduction and growth of our Internet & Phone products, could potentially have a negative impact on DTAG's performance of its obligations under these arrangements. Our rights under the Service Level Agreements (SLAs) cannot be assigned without the consent of DTAG, other than in exceptional cases, as defined in the SLAs (see ITEM 10C Material Contracts). DTAG has the right to terminate such arrangements in certain circumstances and under certain conditions. For example, if DTAG decides to discontinue using cable ducts carrying our cable without replacing the ducts it may terminate our rights to use the ducts unless we exercise rights to purchase such ducts from DTAG. If DTAG replaces the ducts it must offer us space in the new ducts. If we fail to fulfill our payment obligations or are otherwise in breach of contract under the SLAs, DTAG would be entitled to terminate the SLAs. The termination of any material portion or all of the SLAs by DTAG would seriously affect the value of our network or business. Continuing our business upon such termination would, if possible at all, require a sizeable payment to purchase the relevant facility from DTAG or a sizeable investment to replicate the lost facilities or services and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. In many cases we would not be able to find suitable alternative service providers at comparable cost or within a reasonable timeframe.

We will need to lease additional fibre optic transmission capacity to execute our Internet & Phone plan.

As our Internet & Phone customer base grows, we are in the process of leasing additional fibre optic transmission capacity. In two regions (Bavaria and Lower-Saxony), we have one sole supplier for leased lines. In other regions we may have to invest in constructing our own infrastructure to provide these services. Either of these options requires substantial capital expenditure. Furthermore, if the number of subscribers increases faster than anticipated or if the average usage per subscriber exceeds our expectations, we may need to increase our network capacity earlier than planned.

We depend on equipment and service suppliers that may discontinue their products or seek to charge us prices that are not competitive, either of which may adversely affect our business and profitability.

We have important relationships with several suppliers of hardware and services that we use to operate our cable network and systems. In many cases, we have made substantial investments in the equipment or software of a particular supplier, making it difficult for us in the short-term to change supply and maintenance relationships in the event that our initial supplier refuses to offer us favorable prices or ceases to produce equipment or provide the support that our cable network and systems require. If equipment or service suppliers were to discontinue their products or seek to charge us prices that are not competitive, our business and profitability could be materially and adversely affected. Furthermore, we rely upon outside contractors, many of which are small, locally operating companies, to install our Internet & Phone equipment in subscribers' homes. Delays caused by these contractors, or quality issues concerning these contractors, could lead to our customers' dissatisfaction and could produce additional churn or discourage potential new customers.

We may not be able to accurately predict or fulfill customer demand for our digital cable television customer premises equipment ("CPE").

As access to our digital cable television and Internet & Phone offerings requires a set-top box and a modem, respectively, we must accurately predict the number of boxes or modems required to satisfy customer demand for these products. The long lead times between ordering and delivery make it more important to predict and more difficult to fulfill, the customer demand for set-top boxes and modems accurately. We cannot assure that our orders will match actual demand. If we are unable to successfully predict customer demand, we may be faced with a substantial amount of unsold set-top boxes or modems or alternatively missed sales opportunities. In response, we may be forced to rely on additional markdowns or promotional sales to dispose of excess or slow-moving inventory, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

We do not have guaranteed access to programs and are dependent on agreements with certain program providers, which may adversely affect our profitability.

We do not produce our own content. For the provision of programs distributed via our cable television network we enter into agreements with program providers, such as public and commercial broadcasters or providers of pay TV channels or pay-per-view content, all of these contracts having different durations. We generally derive revenue under these contracts from "carriage fees" or "feed-in fees", in exchange for distributing the programs to our subscriber base. We cannot assure that we will be able to renew our existing contracts with program providers on commercially favorable terms, if at all. In particular, we believe that, as we are dependent upon such carriers for provision of programs in order to attract subscribers, program providers may have considerable power to renegotiate the fees that we charge for carriage of their product. Any lowering of the carriage fees that we receive from program providers would adversely affect our results of operations. In addition, the loss of programs could negatively affect attractiveness of the programming delivered to our subscribers, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

We conclude agreements with various broadcasters for our pay TV services. The pricing of such programs differs from the pricing of analog and digital FTA programs in that we pay the digital content providers for the digital programs they provide us at prices that may be affected by our ability to guarantee a minimum audience to such content providers or require us to guarantee a minimum audience generally. In addition, if we do not meet certain subscriber targets with respect to these program contracts within 12 to 18 months after their respective launch, the content providers may have the right to cancel or renegotiate these contracts. In the future, we will need to extend existing licenses and negotiate access to additional programs. Most premium content rights are already held by competing distributors and, to the extent such competitors obtain content on an exclusive basis, the availability of programs to us could be limited. As a consequence, we may be unable to obtain attractive content on favorable terms in the future, if at all which could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations. Our inability to obtain attractively priced competitive programs/channels would reduce demand for our existing and planned pay TV services, limiting our ability to maintain or increase revenues from these services.

Failure to reach agreement with owners of copyright protected broadcast content may adversely affect our business.

Until the end of 2006 copyright expenses were governed by two primary contracts. Since January 2007 we have made a conditional payment (i) to VG Media on the basis of a settlement agreement and (ii) to the former parties of the Kabelglobalvertrag on a voluntary basis. VG Media as well as the former parties of the Kabelglobalvertrag in 2007 published tariffs which would lead to significantly higher copyright expenses as compared to the past. Both tariffs are currently subject to arbitration proceedings which VG Media and the former parties of the Kabelglobalvertrag have started against us. In the meantime, we continue to make the above mentioned conditional payments on a voluntary basis. The amounts of these interim payments are less than the amounts that were paid until 2006 under the old contracts and would be payable under the aforementioned tariffs.

Our business is subject to rapid changes in technology and if we fail to respond to technological developments, our business may be adversely affected.

Technology in the cable television and telecommunications industry is changing rapidly. We will need to anticipate and react to these changes and to develop successful new and enhanced products and services quickly enough for the changing market. This could result in the need to make substantial investments in new or enhanced technologies, products or services, and we may not be able to adopt such technology due to insufficient funding to make the necessary capital expenditures or for other reasons, such as technological incompatibility with our systems. In addition, new technologies may become dominant in the future, rendering our current systems obsolete. These include the provision of video signals by DSL providers and also the provision of digital terrestrial television. Some of these technological changes may also be mandated by regulation. Our ability to adapt successfully to changes in technology in our industry and provide new or enhanced services in a timely and cost-effective manner, or successfully anticipate the demands of our customers, will determine whether we will be able to increase or maintain our subscriber base. If we fail to respond adequately to technological changes, we could lose subscribers and, as a result, our business would be materially and adversely affected.

Failure to upgrade or maintain our cable television network or make other network improvements could have a material adverse effect on our operations and impair our financial condition.

Our current assumptions regarding the costs associated with upgrades and maintenance of our cable television network may prove to be inaccurate. In particular, we intend to compete in providing Internet services on the basis of technologies that may be implemented with low costs and without

extensive upgrades to our existing network, which may not prove to be feasible on a network-wide basis. If capital expenditure exceeds our projections, for example because of the need to replace aging network components, or our operating cash flow is lower than expected, we may be required to seek additional financing. Our inability to secure additional financing on satisfactory terms (or at all) may adversely affect the maintenance of our cable television network and upgrades and other improvements to the network. This would negatively affect the service we provide to our subscribers, which could result in negative publicity and the loss of subscribers, and adversely affect our ability to attract new subscribers.

In addition, failure of Level 4 operators or housing associations to maintain their own networks could have adverse reputational consequences for us, as customers may assume that we are responsible for maintenance of these networks and may terminate their subscription with us. Any new or enhanced products or services we introduce, including Internet & Phone, may require an upgrade of these local and in-house networks, in which case we may be required to cover a portion, or all, of the costs of such upgrade.

The occurrence of events beyond our control could result in damage to our cable television network and digital playout facility.

If any part of our cable television network is subject to a flood, fire or other natural disaster, terrorism, a power loss or other catastrophe, our operations and customer relations could be materially and adversely affected. In general, our network consists of a large number of independent sub-networks. These sub-networks are usually built in a tree-structure. Although major casualties affecting individual sub-networks should not generally affect the entire network, this cannot be ruled out. Some of our network is built in resilient rings to promote the continuity of network availability in the event of damage to our underground fibers, however, if any ring is cut twice in different locations, transmission signals will not be able to pass through, which could cause significant damage to our business. Disaster recovery, security and service continuity protection measures that we have or may in the future undertake, and our monitoring of network performance, may be insufficient to prevent losses. A substantial part of our cable network is not insured. Any catastrophe or other damage that affects our network could result in substantial uninsured losses.

In case of a breakdown of a satellite transponder or a complete loss of the entire satellite system, our digital playout facility (which transmits signals via satellite to the head ends of our cable network) will be affected, interrupting the distribution of certain channels in the entire network until the transponder or system is fully operational again. Our transponder contract does not provide for back-up transponder capacity in the event of a breakdown of a satellite transponder. The satellite link between our playout facility in Frankfurt am Main/Rödelheim and the head ends is a particularly critical point as any failure of a transponder on this link or loss of control of the relevant satellite may affect all digital channels.

In the event of a power outage in our playout facility we may be unable to serve several or even all of our channels in the entire network even though we have back-up systems in place for most of our technical equipment. In the event of a power outage in our network or other shortage, we usually do not have a back-up or alternative supply source. A power outage in one segment of the network could cause sub-networks to shut down.

In addition, our business is dependent on certain sophisticated critical systems, including our playout facility and billing and customer service systems. The hardware supporting those systems is housed in a relatively small number of locations and if damage were to occur to any of these locations, or if those systems were to develop other problems, it could have a material adverse effect on our business.

The security of our encryption system is currently being compromised by illegal piracy.

We use a conditional access system to encrypt TV, radio and data that either form part of our free and pay TV offerings or that are marketed by third parties, such as the above mentioned pay TV operator. A compromised security of the conditional access system might have a negative impact on the revenue generation of such services. As the security of our current conditional access system is believed to be compromised by illegal piracy, we have decided to migrate to a new conditional access system, to be provided by our current supplier Nagravision S.A. (Nagravision). Even though we require Nagravision to provide state-of-the-art security for the new conditional access system, the security of the system could be compromised again by illegal piracy at some point in time.

The installation of a new information technology system and changes to our financial accounting systems and personnel may result in higher costs than expected.

Higher expenses than initially anticipated can occur when assumptions turn out to be unrealistic or wrong regarding high time pressure, problems with data migration, factual change requests during realization, changing ancillary conditions during the development, potential wrong adaptation of business processes or even lack of training related to the new processes.

Our subscriber data may not be representative of our actual results and data.

As subscriber data (contracts, cancellation etc.) is partly entered manually in the systems, eg. by call center agents, process errors may occur. There might also be erroneous subscriber data in the historical data set (previous system migration errors, data entry errors) of the source system. Subscriber figures are reported automatically by data warehouse systems. As no software can be proven to be fault free, system anomalies/errors might affect reported data. Likewise, the extraction of subscriber data out of the source system might extract erroneous data.

We depend on key personnel and may not be able to retain those employees or recruit additional qualified personnel.

As of March 31, 2008, approximately 15% of our workforce were civil servants and still have the right to cease working for us and return to DTAG or its affiliates. An additional approximately 18% of our workforce has the right to return to DTAG or its affiliates until the end of 2008. However, this right can be exercised only under certain circumstances such as corporate restructurings, reorganizations or insolvency.

Strikes or other industrial actions could disrupt our operations or make it more costly to operate our facilities.

We are exposed to the risk of strikes and other industrial actions. Approximately 22% of our employees are members of a labor union. Historically, we have enjoyed good labor relationships and we are committed to maintaining these relationships. We take a constructive approach to union relationships, and have been able to secure the cooperation of the unions and our workforce with regard to significant changes and the process of continuous improvements. We have negotiated various collective bargaining agreements directly with the labor union. These collective bargaining agreements cover the general labor conditions of our employees (other than executives), such as working hours, holidays, termination, provisions and general payment schemes for wages.

In April 2008, we entered into a new 24-month collective bargaining agreement with the labor union representing our unionized employees. As a result, wages for employees increased by 3.7% from June 1, 2008 and will increase another 3.3% from April 1, 2009.

U.S. military redeployment may adversely impact our TKS business.

Our TKS business operates a broadband and telephony telecommunications business that mainly serves NATO military bases in Germany. TKS is permitted to build and maintain its networks on U.S. military bases located on premises owned by the Federal Republic of Germany pursuant to agreements with an agency representing the Federal Republic of Germany. In the event that any of the U.S. military bases are vacated, the Federal Republic of Germany may terminate the applicable agreement with TKS. The U.S. military has announced that it is planning to restructure its operations in Germany, which could lead to a significant reduction in the number of American troops stationed in Germany. Any such reduction in U.S. military personnel or the closure of U.S. military bases in Germany would likely have an adverse effect on TKS' results of operations.

Termination of Services for Deutsche Telekom AG (DTAG) may adversely affect our TKS business.

TKS is in discussions to extend the contract with DTAG but there is no assurance an agreement can be reached. If the contract is not extended it would be detrimental to the TKS business.

We are acquiring assets which could potentially deliver less revenue and earnings than anticipated and we may not be able to integrate these assets in a timely manner which may delay the roll out of Internet & Phone and not allow us to recognize anticipated synergies.

The anticipated synergies out of recent acquistions have not yet been validated. As of today the due dilligence as well as the appraisal of financials is still ongoing. Differing network structures and underlying channel allocations could turn out to become major obstacles in the timing of the network upgrade and the roll-out of voice and internet services.

Risks Relating to Regulatory and Legislative Matters

We are subject to significant government regulation which may increase our costs and otherwise adversely affect our business and further changes could also adversely affect our business.

Our existing and planned activities as a cable network operator in Germany (including our Internet & Phone services) are subject to significant regulation and supervision by various regulatory bodies, including state, federal and European Union (EU) authorities. Such governmental regulation and supervision as well as future changes in laws, regulations or government policy (or in the interpretation or enforcement of existing laws or regulations) that affect us, our competitors or our industry, generally strongly influence our viability and how we operate our business. Complying with existing regulations is burdensome and future changes may increase our operational and administrative expenses and limit our revenues. In particular, we are subject to:

•: licensing and notification requirements;
•: price regulation for certain services that we provide, in particular with respect to carriage fees to broadcasters and fees for the delivery of signals to other operators;
•: rules regarding the interconnection of our telecommunications cable network with those of other network operators and, under certain circumstances, the granting of access to our network to competitors or the resale of our services on a wholesale basis;
•: requirements that a cable network operator carries certain channels;
•: rules relating to data and customer protection, as well as protection of minors;
•: rules regarding the allocation of frequencies and analog and digital transmission capacities;
•: rules regarding the fair, reasonable and non-discriminating treatment of broadcasters;

•: rules regarding fair trade and competition;
•: rules relating to conditional access systems and application interfaces;
•: rules regarding the duty to disclose personal data of our customers to copyright holders in the case of copyright infringements (as of September 1, 2008) and
•: other requirements covering a variety of operational areas such as environmental protection, technical standards and subscriber service requirements:

Our business would be materially and adversely affected if there were any adverse changes in relevant laws or regulations (or in their interpretation or enforcement) regarding, for example, the imposition of access or resale obligations, price regulation, interconnection agreements, frequency allocation requirements or the imposition of universal service obligations, or any change in policy allowing more favorable conditions for other operators. Our ability to introduce new products and services may also be affected if we cannot predict how existing or future laws, regulations or policies would apply to such product or service.

In the future, our Internet access and telephony business may be subject to new laws and regulations, the impacts of which are difficult to predict.

Furthermore, the copyright holders, particularly certain collecting societies try to impose an obligation to block URLs if copyright infringements are committed on the underlying web pages. Recently, similar political discussions have developed with respect to mandatory blocking by access providers of illegal content harmful to minors. Any new laws or regulations affecting the Internet, or amendments to or new interpretations of existing laws and regulations to cover Internet related activities, could increase the costs of regulatory compliance to us or force us to change our business practices or otherwise have a material adverse effect on our business.

Under the current regulatory regime based on federal and European legislation, the Federal Network Agency (FNA) is entitled to impose certain obligations on operators of telecommunications networks which have significant market power or which, despite the absence of significant market power, control end user access. Amongst other things, it may impose the obligation on such operators to grant access to, or interconnection with, their telecommunications networks and to offer third parties the re-sale of their telecommunications services on a wholesale basis. Moreover, the prices that operators with significant market power or operators controlling end user access charge to their competitors and customers may be subject to regulation.

In 2003, the European Commission had issued a recommendation identifying a number of markets potentially susceptible to ex-ante regulation. One of these markets concerned broadcasting transmission services to deliver broadcast content to end-users (Market 18). In 2006 the FNA performed an analysis of this Market 18 as periodical part coming to the conclusions described in the next paragraph. At the end of 2007, the European Commission has revised the recommendation and has, inter alia, removed Market 18 from the list of markets warranting special observation. This should have consequences for the review of the market analysis to be performed periodically by the FNA which is due in fall 2008. Depending on the outcome of such analysis, this could lead to less strict regulation. However, it is too early to predict the consequences of such removal of Market 18 as of now.

On the basis of the above analysis, the FNA has declared within a regulatory ordinance as of April 2007 that we have significant market power (SMP) in the regional, network-based cable television markets in which we operate. In its decision the FNA has imposed certain remedies for the feed-in market for broadcasters (Einspeisemarkt) and the signal delivery market to Level 4 operators (Signallieferungsmarkt). We have filed complaints against this regulatory ordinance with the competent court. These cases are pending.

These regulatory obligations (remedies) include for our feed-in market:

(1): A transparency obligation with regard to technical specifications, network features, provisional conditions and fees. This information on all different kinds of our feed-in offers must be published for interested parties (but not for the public).
(2): Feed-in fees are subject to ex-post regulation, but there is no obligation to disclose fees in advance to the FNA.

For our signal delivery market to Level 4 operators the remedies include:

(1): An access obligation for the delivery of broadcasting signals to downstream operators (Level 4) for connection point (Übergabepunkt) clusters up to 500 households (Wohneinheiten) including a shared use of connection points. Therefore access to our network cannot be denied to Level 4 operators if technically feasible.
(2): A non-discrimination obligation. Access agreements must be impartial, comprehensible, and adequate and include equal opportunities for all Level 4 operators. Individual deviations are feasible for "objective" reasons only.
(3): A separate accounting obligation: Access prices and internal transfer prices for signal delivery must be configured transparently. On request, sales volumes and revenues of external and internal signal delivery products must be provided to the FNA.
(4): Signal delivery fees are subject to ex post regulation including an obligation to disclose fees in advance to the FNA.
(5): We are obligated to publish a reference offer (Standardangebot) for our signal delivery products to Level 4 operators. The reference offer must include all necessary technical and commercial information including prices and shall enable Level 4 operators to accept such offer without any further negotiations.

Furthermore, in the future, it cannot be ruled out that we may be required to offer our services to third parties for resale on a wholesale basis. Granting such access or interconnection would limit the bandwidth available for us to provide other products and services to customers served by our networks.

The actual and possible future regulation could:

•: impair our ability to use our bandwidth in ways that would generate maximum revenue;
•: create a shortage of capacity on our networks, which could limit the types and variety of services we seek to provide our customers;
•: strengthen our competitors by granting them access and lowering their costs to enter into our markets; and
•: have a material adverse impact on our profitability.

Due to regulation, we do not have complete control over the prices that we charge to broadcasters or wholesale offers to Level 4 operators, and this may adversely affect our future cash flows and profitability. This may also affect our pricing flexibility for housing associations and subscribers.

In the case of an ex post review of our feed-in or signal delivery fees, the FNA may declare our fees invalid if it finds that they are abusive and may either direct us to adjust our fees or provide for fees that are not abusive. Therefore, we may not be able to enforce future changes to our carriage and signal delivery fees. This may have an adverse impact on our revenues, profitability of new products and services and ability to respond to changes in the cable television market.

We presently utilize a range of rebate or volume-related pricing mechanisms. Due to actual regulation with regard to the feed-in and signal delivery market we may be restricted from imposing or enforcing certain pricing mechanism. There is a potential risk that broadcasters may try to seek help from or initiate review proceedings by the FNA with respect to the carriage fees charged by us. Volume-based discounts reflecting cost savings, one means of avoiding churn to competing infrastructures, are not affected. We cannot entirely rule out the possibility, however, that, if other clauses were subjected to challenge within a regulatory proceeding, these clauses would be found to be unenforceable. In such cases, we could, under certain circumstances, be found liable for fines or damages if these clauses were successfully challenged. This could adversely affect our competitiveness, financial condition and results of operations.

According to the State Broadcasting Treaty, our analog and digital carriage fees are, in addition to the price regulation by FNA mentioned above, subject to certain notification obligations to the state media authorities. The state media authorities are entitled to review whether the prices we apply are restrictive or discriminatory with respect to certain content providers. As a result, we may be further constrained in respect of the pricing models we agree with content providers for both analog and digital products and our results of operations may be adversely affected.

In addition, we are prohibited from charging carriage fees to certain legally privileged radio and television channels operated by non-profit organizations.

We are required to carry certain programs on our network, which may adversely affect our competitive position and results of operations.

We are required to carry certain broadcasting and other channels on our cable system that we might not necessarily carry voluntarily. In the digital range, these must-carry obligations currently apply to the bandwidth equivalent of four analog television channels. It is unclear whether as a consequence of changes in the law currently under discussion, the must-carry obligations will encompass even greater portions of bandwidth in the future. In the analog range, the scope of the "must-carry" obligation varies from state to state. In some states also television channels broadcasted via DTT fall, as asserted by the respective media authorities, within the scope of the must carry obligation, which therefore takes up a significant portion of our analog bandwidth in such states.

We may become subject to more onerous must-carry rules upon a change in the current regulatory regimes. In the case of one federal state (Saarland), this risk has materialized as the state legislator has remodeled the previously more liberal regime in favor of a stricter one. Re-allocation of analog capacity in various German federal states requires at least to reach informal understandings with the competent state media authority, which decreases planning reliability and could have a material adverse effect on our business, considering that both the digitization of a channel earmarked for future transmission of broadcasting or other media content and each network upgrade to establish Internet require a re-allocation of analog capacity.

Analog television and radio distribution may be phased out, which may adversely affect our competitive position and could result in increased costs or a loss of revenue.

The German federal and state governments aim at a general switch-over from analog to digital distribution for all terrestrial television distribution platforms. In accordance with the Telecommunications Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder, the FNA is generally required to revoke all allocations of terrestrial frequencies for analog television transmission by 2010, and for analog terrestrial frequency-modulated radio transmission by 2015. Even though the relevant provisions of the Telecommunications Act and related regulations are not directly applicable to us, as the operation of cable television networks, in principle, does not require frequency allocations, we may be required to invest in the exchange of some of our head end equipment as some broadcasters could cease to deliver their signals in analog format. In addition, future legislation or market needs may require us to digitize our entire cable network and may also require a hard switch-over. Recent proposed changes in the law with potential adverse effects on our business aim at the mandatory digitization or even complete switch-off of a specified number of analog channels in the lower frequency spectrum for security reasons (mitigating interference with air traffic etc.). The proposal provides for a digitization or switch-off in steps until the year 2012. It is unclear as of now, to what extent and at which point in time the proposed steps will have to be realized.

The advent of digitization may promote new technologies that compete with us. For instance, although DTT has failed to become a strong competitor in the past, the German federal state media authorities are currently promoting a switch-over from analog to digital terrestrial television. In all regions in which we operate our telecommunications cable networks (Berlin, Brandenburg, Bremen, Lower Saxony, Hamburg, Schleswig-Holstein, Rhineland-Palatinate, Saarland, Bavaria, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia) digital terrestrial television is meanwhile available in both metropolitan and rural areas (in some parts of the latter confined to the transmission of public broadcasting channels). Plans announced by the public broadcasters aim for a provision of 90% of the population with their channels via DTT by the end of 2008. The digital terrestrial television therefore covers almost all of the most densely populated metropolitan areas in the regions in which we operate our cable networks. Hence, digital terrestrial television has to some extent and may continue to grow to a new competitive delivery system for television programs. This in turn could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

In addition, we are dependent upon program providers for the provision of programming and, as the market moves towards digital transmission and a multiplication of digital platforms by facility-based and/or non-facility based operators, we may find that we are unable to generate carriage fees for carrying digital programming at similar levels to those we obtain for carrying analog programming, or at all. This could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

Risks Relating to Our Indebtedness and Our Structure

Our high leverage and debt service obligations could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

We are highly leveraged and have significant debt service obligations. As of March 31, 2008, we had €1,965.6 million of indebtedness (before netting with transaction costs and exchange rate effects), of which €1,150.0 million was a term loan facility ("Term Loan Facility" or "Tranche A"), €66.0 million was indebtedness under a revolving credit facility ("Revolving Credit Facility" or "Tranche B", which was increased by €125 million from €200.0 million to €325 million on July 19, 2007 and €755.6 million was indebtedness under the Senior Notes ("Senior Notes"). Additionally, on October 30, 2007, we secured a senior add-on facility ("Senior Add-on Facility" or "Tranche C" and together with the Term Loan Facility and the Revolving Credit Facility, the "Senior Credit Facility") in the amount of €650 million to fund the acquisition of CATV assets from the Orion Group. On April 30, 2008, we

incurred €535.0 million of debt under this Tranche C to fund the acquisition of the CATV assets. As of May 9, 2008 the granted loan amount of the Senior Add-on Facility was reduced by €115 million to €535 million from the original €650 million commitment. We anticipate that our high leverage will continue for the foreseeable future.

Our high leverage could have important consequences, including, but not limited to:

•: increasing our vulnerability to a downturn in our business or economic and industry conditions;
•: limiting our ability to obtain additional financing to fund future operations, capital expenditures, business opportunities and other corporate requirements;
•: requiring the dedication of a substantial portion of our cash flows from operations to the payment of principal of, and interest on, our indebtedness, which means that these cash flows will not be available to fund our operations, capital expenditures or other corporate purposes; and
•: limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business, the competitive environment and the industries in which we operate.

Any of these or other consequences or events could have a material adverse effect on our ability to satisfy our debt obligations.

We may incur substantial additional indebtedness in the future. The terms of the indentures governing the Senior Notes and the agreements governing our Senior Credit Facilities and the agreements governing PIK loans entered into by our parent companies may restrict us from incurring additional indebtedness, but do not prohibit us from doing so. In addition, the terms of such indentures and such credit agreement do not restrict our parent companies from incurring future indebtedness for any purpose, including the funding of further distributions to our ultimate shareholders. The incurrence of additional indebtedness would increase the leverage-related risks described in this report.

We require a significant amount of cash to service our debt, and our ability to generate sufficient cash depends on many general economic, financial and market factors beyond our control.

Our ability to make payments on and to refinance our debt, and to fund future operations and capital expenditures, will depend on our future operating performance and ability to generate sufficient cash. This depends, to some extent, on many general economic, financial and market factors, many of which are beyond our control, as well as on other factors discussed in these "Risk Factors". Considering those factors, we cannot assure that our business will generate sufficient cash flows from operations or that future debt and equity financing will be available to us in an amount sufficient to enable us to pay our debts when due, or to fund our other liquidity needs.

Our operating performance could be affected by a significant or prolonged economic downturn. Such downturn could adversely affect our business by reducing the demand for our services or depressing pricing of those services. This could have a material adverse effect on our operating performance. Accordingly, our ability to service our debt may be affected and we may be unable to make principal and interest payments on our outstanding debt service obligations when due. Moreover, recent times have seen a prolonged dislocation in the fixed income market, leading to significant illiquidity and volatility in the leveraged loan, structured credit, mezzanine debt and high-yield bond markets. To the extent that such marketplace events continue, this may also have an adverse impact on the availability of credit to our businesses. As a result, we may not be able to refinance our existing Senior Credit Facilities or to incur additional indebtedness to fund future operations and capital expenditures.

If our future cash flows from operations and other capital resources (including borrowings under the Senior Credit Facilities) are insufficient to pay our obligations as they mature or to fund our liquidity needs, we may, inter alia, be forced to:

•: reduce or delay our business activities and capital expenditures, including our continued network upgrade and rollout of "triple play" services;
•: sell assets;
•: obtain additional debt or equity capital; or
•: restructure or refinance all or a portion of our debt on or before maturity.

We cannot assure that we would be able to accomplish any of these measures on a timely basis or on satisfactory terms, if at all. In addition, the terms of our debt, including the Senior Notes and the Senior Credit Facilities, limit, and any future debt may limit, our ability to pursue any of these alternatives.

We depend on payments from our subsidiaries to make payments on the Senior Notes, and our subsidiaries will be subject to various restrictions on making such payments.

Kabel Deutschland GmbH's main activity is the holding of ownership interests in Kabel Deutschland Vertrieb und Service GmbH & Co. KG (KDVS) and Kabel Deutschland Vertrieb und Service Beteiligungs Verwaltungs GmbH (KDV), the general partner of KDVS. In addition, it provides certain corporate services, in particular, accounting services, control management and legal services. KDG currently holds no material assets and has no sources of revenue other than the ownership interests in its subsidiaries and the right to any dividends thereon. In addition, KDVS will be subject to corporate law restrictions on its ability to pay dividends. In particular, under sections 172 and 172a of the German Commercial Code (Handelsgesetzbuch), in conjunction with sections 30 and 31 of the German Act on Limited Liability Companies (GmbH Gesetz), KDVS may neither make an upstream loan nor pay a dividend except to the extent that it has positive net equity calculated on the basis of KDVS' commercial balance sheet on the date of the proposed distribution. Otherwise, the partnership's managing directors will be personally liable for any negative net equity, consisting of any amounts distributed (either by way of loan or dividend) in excess of the partnership's net equity. This net equity may be increased by the contribution of further equity or by the accumulation of operating profits by KDVS, and decreased by dividends or distributions from KDVS and by continued operating losses at KDVS. There can be no assurance that the dividend and distribution capacity of KDVS will be adequate to service scheduled payments of interest and principal on the Senior Notes, particularly as we have a history of losses. In addition, the terms of the Senior Notes permit further debt to be incurred by Kabel Deutschland GmbH, KDVS will also be required to service this debt by means of dividends or other distributions which are subject to the same restrictions.

If payments are not made by KDVS to Kabel Deutschland GmbH, for whatever reason, KDG may not have any other sources of funds available to it that would permit it to make payments on the Senior Notes. In such event, holders of the Senior Notes would have to rely upon claims for payment under the guarantee, which is subject to the risks and limitations described below under "Risks Relating to the Senior Notes, the Guarantee and the Security."

KDG only has a shareholder's claim in the assets of its subsidiaries. This shareholder's claim is junior to the claims that creditors or preferred stockholders of our subsidiaries have against our subsidiaries. Holders of the Senior Notes will only be creditors of the issuer and KDVS, as guarantor of the Senior Notes. In the case of KDVS, any existing and future senior obligations of KDVS, including all obligations under the Senior Credit Facilities, will be senior in right of payment to the Guarantee. In the case of subsidiaries that are not guarantors of the Senior Notes, all the existing and future liabilities of these subsidiaries, including any claims of trade creditors and preferred stockholders, will

be effectively senior to the Senior Notes. These subsidiaries include entities that are borrowers or guarantors under the Senior Credit Facilities.

We undertook an Asset Step-Up in the year 2004 and may undertake further Asset Step-Ups in the future that may be prejudicial to our existing business and subject KDG to additional liability.

In accordance with the terms of the Senior Notes, we have undertaken an asset step-up (Asset Step-Up), whereby substantially all of the assets of the company formerly known as Kabel Deutschland Vertrieb und Service GmbH & Co. KG, the initial guarantor of the Senior Notes ("OldKDS"), have been transferred to a newly incorporated asset corporation (AssetCo). Subsequently, OldKDS has been merged into KDG, and AssetCo was renamed Kabel Deutschland Vertrieb und Service GmbH & Co. KG ("KDVS"). The purpose of the Asset Step-Up was to substitute a subsidiary with higher balance sheet equity (KDVS) for OldKDS in order to facilitate, among other things, up-stream loans or dividend distributions from KDVS to KDG under German corporate law. See "We depend on payments from our subsidiaries to make payments on the Senior Notes, and our subsidiaries will be subject to various restrictions on making such payments".

We believe that we have been able to transfer the material assets of OldKDS to KDVS, including OldKDS' rights under various SLAs with DTAG, without the need for the consent of our counterparties. It can not be ruled out that consent from DTAG and other companies may have been required in connection with the Asset Step-Up and that we would therefore be in breach of certain agreements by having purportedly transferred them to KDVS. The transfer of contracts to KDVS has not, under German law, relieved OldKDS of liability on those contracts and KDG has now become liable under these contracts, including the Senior Credit Facilities.

The interests of our principal shareholders may be inconsistent with the interests of the holders of Senior Notes and of each other.

Private equity investment funds affiliated with or advised or managed by Providence indirectly own the vast majority of our equity. The interests of Providence and its affiliates could conflict with other interests, particularly if we encounter financial difficulties or are unable to pay our debts when due. Providence and its affiliates could also have an interest in pursuing acquisitions, divestitures, financings or other transactions that, in their judgment, could enhance their equity investments, although such transactions might involve risks to the holder of the Senior Notes or other debt instruments. In addition, Providence and its affiliates may own businesses that directly compete with ours or may own businesses with interests that conflict with ours.

We may pursue acquisitions that, if consummated, could adversely affect our business if we cannot effectively integrate these new operations.

We regularly engage in discussions regarding potential acquisitions. If we experience any difficulties in integrating acquired operations into our company, we may incur higher costs than expected and not realize all the benefits of these acquisitions. In addition, our management may be distracted by such acquisitions and the integration of the acquired businesses. Thus, if we consummate any further acquisitions, there could be a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

We are subject to significant restrictive debt covenants which limit our operating flexibility.

The Senior Credit Facilities and the indenture governing the Senior Notes contain covenants significantly restricting our ability to, among other things:

•: incur or guarantee additional indebtedness;

•: pay dividends or make other distributions or repurchase or redeem our stock;
•: make investments or other restricted payments;
•: dispose of assets;
•: create liens;
•: enter into certain transactions with affiliates;
•: enter into agreements that restrict our subsidiaries' ability to pay dividends; and
•: consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of our assets.

These covenants could limit our ability to finance our future operations and capital needs and our ability to pursue acquisitions and other business activities that may be in our interest.

The Senior Credit Facilities also require us to maintain specified financial ratios and satisfy specified financial tests. Our ability to meet these financial ratios and tests may be affected by events beyond our control and, as a result, we cannot ensure that we will be able to meet these ratios and tests. In the event of a default under the Senior Credit Facilities or certain other defaults under other agreements, the lenders could terminate their commitments and declare all amounts owed to them to be due and payable. Borrowings under other debt instruments that contain cross-default or cross-acceleration provisions, including the Senior Notes, may, as a result, also be accelerated and become due and payable. We may be unable to pay these debts in such circumstances.

The borrowings under our Senior Credit Facilities bear interest at floating rates that could rise significantly, increasing our costs and reducing our cash flow.

The borrowings under our Senior Credit Facilities bear interest rates equal to EURIBOR, as adjusted periodically, plus a spread. This interest rate has been raised and could continue to rise in the future, increasing our interest expense associated with these obligations, reducing cash flow available for capital expenditures and hindering our ability to make payments.

We are exposed to foreign exchange risk that may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Because substantially all our revenues are denominated in Euro, we may become further exposed to foreign exchange risk by incurring debt in the future that is not denominated in Euro. This risk could lead to increased cash requirements for debt service, higher leverage levels, greater levels of risk in relation to repaying or refinancing such debt when due, and significant costs (including tax costs) incurred in order to hedge these risks. We are exposed under the USD bonds but are fully hedged.

Risks Associated with Financial Instruments

The Company is exposed to market risks from changes in interest rates and currency exchange rates which can impact its operating results and overall financial condition. The Company manages its exposure to these market risks through its operating and financing activities and, when deemed appropriate or required by other agreements, through the use of derivative financial instruments. The main strategy is to avoid or to mitigate risks, e.g. currency risks (by entering into currency swaps) or the risk of varying interest payments (by entering into payer swaps and buying caps).

Derivative financial instruments are used exclusively for the purpose of hedging foreign currency and interest rate risks arising from operating, financing and investing activities. In accordance with IAS 39, all derivative financial instruments are accounted for at fair value. Changes in the fair value of the derivative financial instruments for which hedge accounting is used are either recorded in profit

and loss or in equity under the fair value reserve, depending on whether it is a fair value hedge or a cash flow hedge.

In the interest rate swaps, the variable interest rates (EURIBOR) on the Company's bank loans are effectively exchanged for a fixed interest rate of 3.705% per annum. The Company initially entered into interest rate swaps with a notional amount of €778.1 million which will be amortized through 2009. As per March 31, 2008, the notional amount was €455.5 million.

These swaps entitle the Company to receive a payment from the counterparty if the market variable interest rate exceeds the fixed interest rate, and obligate the Company to make a payment to the counterparty if the fixed interest rate exceeds the market variable interest rate. These types of agreements are entered into to effectively convert the interest rates on the Company's long-term liabilities to banks from variable to fixed.

In 2003 KDG also purchased interest rate caps with a cap level of 4.2% per annum with a notional amount of €259.4 which will be amortized through 2009. These caps entitle the Company to receive a payment from the counterparty equal to the excess, if any, of the hypothetical interest expense on a specified notional amount at a current market interest rate over an amount specified in the agreement.

With respect to the Company's 2014 Senior Notes, the Company also entered into a hedge agreement swapping 100% of the US-Dollar denominated principal (USD 610 million) and interest payments into Euro denominated principal and interest payments at a fixed rate over five starting in July 2004 with various banks. The agreed exchange rate is USD 1.2066 for each EURO. The weighted average interest rate across all Euro denominated debt until July 2009 considering derivatives currently in place is 10.2046%.

Risks Relating to the Senior Notes, the Guarantee and the Security

German insolvency laws may preclude the recovery of payments due under the Senior Notes, the Guarantee or the Security.

Any insolvency proceedings with regard to the issuer, KDVS and KDV would most likely be based on and governed by the insolvency laws of Germany, the jurisdiction under which the issuer and KDVS are organized and in which all of their assets are located. The provisions of such insolvency laws differ substantially from U.S. bankruptcy laws and may in many instances be less favorable to holders of the Senior Notes than comparable provisions of U.S. law.

In particular, the insolvency administrator ("Insolvenzverwalter") may challenge transactions which are deemed detrimental to insolvency creditors which were effected prior to the commencement of insolvency proceedings. Such transactions can include the payment of any amounts to the holders of the Senior Notes as well as providing credit support for their benefit. The administrator's right to challenge transactions can, depending on the circumstances, extend to transactions during the ten-year period prior to the commencement of insolvency proceedings. In the event such a transaction were successfully avoided, the holders of the Senior Notes would be under an obligation to repay the amounts received or to waive the guarantee of the Senior Notes by KDVS (the "Guarantee") or the security in form of the Senior Notes (the "Security"). In addition, a creditor who has obtained an enforcement order has the right to avoid certain transactions, such as the payment of debt and the granting of security pursuant to the German Code on Avoidance ("Anfechtungsgesetz").

In particular, a transaction (which term includes the provision of security or the payment of debt) may be avoided in the following cases:

•: a transaction by the debtor that is directly detrimental to insolvency creditors if it was effected (i) during the three-month period prior to the petition for commencement of the insolvency proceedings and the debtor was unable to make payments when due at the time of the

transaction and the beneficiary of the transaction had positive knowledge thereof at such time, or (ii) after a petition for the commencement of insolvency proceedings and the beneficiary of the transaction had knowledge of either the debtor's inability to make payments when due or of the petition for commencement of insolvency proceedings at the time of the transaction;

•: the transaction was entered into during the ten-year period prior to a petition for the commencement of insolvency proceedings over the assets of the debtor with the actual intent to hinder, delay, prejudice, damage or defraud creditors of the debtor, provided that the beneficiary of such transaction had positive knowledge of the debtor's intent at the time of the transaction;
•: a transaction granting an insolvency creditor security or satisfaction to which such creditor had no right or no right to claim in such manner or at such time it was entered into and such transaction took place (i) within the month prior to the petition for the commencement of insolvency proceedings over the assets of the debtor; (ii) within the second or third month preceding such a petition and the debtor was unable to make payments when due at the time of such transaction; or (iii) within the second and third month prior to the petition for commencement and the creditor had positive knowledge at the time of the transaction that it was detrimental and disadvantageous to the creditors of the grantor of such security or satisfaction;
•: the transaction granting an insolvency creditor security or satisfaction was entered into (i) within the three-month period prior to the petition for the commencement of insolvency proceedings over the assets of the debtor and the debtor was insolvent or was rendered insolvent because of the transaction and the creditor had positive knowledge thereof or (ii) following a petition for the commencement of the insolvency proceedings and the creditor had positive knowledge of either the debtor's inability to make payments when due or of the petition for commencement at the time of the transaction; or
•: the transaction was entered into within the three months prior to the petition for the commencement of insolvency proceedings over the assets of the debtor and the debtor did not receive fair consideration or reasonably equivalent value in the transaction and was (i) insolvent or was rendered insolvent because of the transaction; (ii) undercapitalized or became undercapitalized because of the transaction; or (iii) intended to incur, or believed that it would incur, indebtedness beyond its ability to pay at maturity.

Generally, the issuer, KDVS or KDV would be considered insolvent if it could not pay its debts as they became due or if its liabilities exceeded its assets. If the Senior Notes, the Guarantee or the Security were avoided or held unenforceable for this or any other reason, you would cease to have any claim in respect of the Senior Notes, the Guarantee or the Security. Any amounts obtained from a transaction that has been avoided would have to be repaid.

Creditors may not be able to enforce, or recover any amounts under the Guarantee or the Security due to subordination provisions, restrictions on enforcement and releases.

The Guarantee is a senior subordinated guarantee, which means that it ranks behind, and will be expressly subordinated to, all of the existing and future senior obligations of KDVS, including any obligations owed by KDVS under our Senior Credit Facilities and any new senior facilities. In addition, pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement, the Guarantee will not become due until the expiration of a period of 179 days, subject to certain exceptions. In the event of an enforcement of the security in favor of the lenders under our Senior Credit Facilities or the new senior facilities, and in certain other circumstances, the Guarantee will be released without any consent of the holders of the Senior Notes or the Trustee.

The Security is second ranking after the security provided in favor of the lenders under the Senior Credit Facilities. In addition, in certain circumstances the collateral subject to the Security, consisting of the partnership interests in KDVS and the shares in KDV may be pledged to other creditors on a basis that is superior to the claim of the Senior Notes or pursuant to which other debt is entitled to share ratably in the collateral, such as in case of the issuance of additional notes. If you receive any proceeds of an enforcement of security prior to the satisfaction of the claims of those that are superior to or ratable with those of the Senior Notes, you (or the Trustee on your behalf) will be required to turn over such proceeds until superior claims are satisfied and until ratable claims are equally satisfied. Hence, you will recover less from the proceeds of an enforcement of the security than you otherwise would have.

In addition, pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement, the Security will also be subject to a standstill on enforcement of 179 days, subject to certain exceptions. In the event of an enforcement of the security in favor of the lenders under our Senior Credit Facilities, subject to compliance with the Intercreditor Agreements, and in certain other circumstances, the Security may be released without the need for any consent from the holders of the Senior Notes or the Trustee.

As a result of these and other provisions governing the Guarantee and the Security and in the Intercreditor Agreement, you may not be able to recover any amounts under the Guarantee or the Security in the event of a default on the Senior Notes.

It is possible that the Security may not be enforceable.

Under German law, a security interest may not be enforceable for the benefit of beneficiaries who are not a party to the relevant pledge agreement creating such security interest. A pledge is a so-called "accessory" security interest ("akzessorische Sicherheit") which means that the existence of the pledge is dependent on the existence of the underlying secured claim. At the same time, pledges require that the pledgee and the creditors be the same person. Pledges cannot be held on behalf of third parties who do not hold the secured claim. The holders of interests in Senior Notes from time to time will not be party to such pledge agreements. In order to permit holders of Senior Notes from time to time to have a secured claim, the Intercreditor Agreement to which the Note Trustee will become a party provides for the Security Trustee to be a joint and several creditor of each holder of Senior Notes from the date of the issue of the Senior Notes until full repayment. The effect of this provision is to give the Security Trustee a pledge equal in amount to the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes. The Security Trustee will undertake not to exercise that pledge without the consent of the Senior Notes Trustee. However, the Security Trustee's right to take any action to protect or to preserve any rights under the Guarantee or the Security or to enforce any security interest created thereby as contemplated by the Intercreditor Agreement or the Security Documents (or to take any act reasonably incidental to any of the foregoing) is not limited. This procedure has not yet been tested under German law, and we cannot assure you that it will eliminate or mitigate the risk of the unenforceability of the pledge under German law.

Moreover, under German law, in the event that KDG, KDVS or KDV entered into insolvency proceedings, the Security could also be subject to potential challenges under the "claw back" provisions of German insolvency law (in addition to the avoidance rights described above). If any challenge to the validity or enforceability of the Security is successful, you may not be able to recover any amounts under the Security.

You may not be able to enforce, or recover any amounts under the Guarantee due to restrictions on enforcement contained in German corporate law.

The enforcement of the Guarantee by any holder of the Senior Notes or the Trustee will be limited by virtue of specific limitation language within the Guarantee reflecting the requirements under

the capital maintenance rules imposed by Sections 30 and 31 et seq. of the German Limited Liability Company Act. These capital maintenance rules prohibit the direct or indirect repayment of a German limited liability company's registered share capital to its shareholders (including payments pursuant to guarantees or security in favor of the debt of such shareholders). Payments under the Guarantee will be limited if, and to the extent, such payments would cause the net assets of KDVS' general partner's ("Komplementär"), who is liable for the debt of KDVS, to fall below the amount of its registered share capital ("Stammkapital"). If such an event occurs, the Trustee is not entitled to enforce the Guarantee save for the amount which may be enforced without diminishing the registered share capital of the general partner of KDVS. As a result and to the extent of any such limitations, claims under the Guarantee will be effectively junior to the claims of direct creditors of KDVS, such as trade creditors and employees.

In addition, German court rulings have recently held that the shareholder of a German limited liability company must not deprive a limited liability company of the liquidity necessary for it to meet its own payment obligations. It is likely that these court rulings will also apply to payments of KDVS under the Guarantee to the extent such payments would deprive KDVS of the liquidity to meet its own payment obligations. The limitations dictated by these court rulings on the enforcement of the Guarantee may further reduce the amount of any recovery of the Trustee for your benefit under the Guarantee.

The refinancing of our Senior Credit Facilities could result in a release of the Security. Although the Security may be reinstated on substantially similar terms, the Security could become void if, within three months of reinstatement, KDG or KDVS became insolvent.

The Intercreditor Agreement provides that, upon a release of the first-priority security in connection with a refinancing of the Senior Credit Facilities, whether by operation of law or otherwise, the Security will be released. Although under our new senior facilities the Security will, immediately after new first-priority security has been granted to secure our new senior facilities, be replaced by a new second-priority security on substantially the same terms as the Security, there will be a period of three months following the date in which such replacement occurs during which, under German law, the transaction creating the new security may be avoided by an insolvency administrator if KDG or KDVS becomes insolvent. In certain circumstances such period may extend to ten years prior to the commencement of insolvency proceedings (see "German insolvency laws may preclude the recovery of payments due under the Senior Notes, the Guarantee or the Security").

We may not be able to finance a change of control offer required by the indenture.

The indenture governing the Senior Notes contains provisions relating to certain events constituting a "Change of Control". Upon the occurrence of a change of control, KDG will be required to offer to repurchase all outstanding Senior Notes at a price equal to 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest and additional amounts, if any, to the date of repurchase. If a change of control were to occur, KDG may not have sufficient funds available, or may not be able to obtain the funds needed, to pay the purchase price for all of the Senior Notes tendered by holders deciding to accept the repurchase offer. The restrictions in the instruments governing KDG's and its subsidiaries' existing and future indebtedness may also prohibit the KDG from being provided with the funds necessary to purchase any Senior Notes prior to their stated maturity, including upon a change of control. In any case, third party financing would be required in order to provide the funds necessary for the issuer to make the change of control offer. We may not be able to obtain such additional financing.

In addition, the definition of "Change of Control" refers to a sale, lease or other disposition of "all or substantially all" of our assets to a person or group of persons. There is little New York case law interpreting the phrase "all or substantially all" in the context of an indenture. Because there is no precise established definition of this phrase, your ability to require us to repurchase such Senior Notes

as a result of a sale, lease or other disposition of all or substantially all of our assets to a person or group of persons may be uncertain.

You may have difficulty enforcing your rights against us and our directors and officers.

We are organized under the laws of Germany. Most of our directors and executive officers are non-residents of the United States and our assets and the assets of most of our directors and executive officers are located outside the United States. As a result, it may not be possible for you to effect service of process within the United States upon us and our directors and executive officers to enforce against us or them judgments obtained in U.S. courts predicated upon civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States.

In addition, in the course of the last financial year, we also made considerable acquisitions: (i) we acquired a 14.28% stake in Primacom from Wolfgang Preuss (WP), resulting in KDG owning 18.6% in Primacom as of May 18, 2007 but selling off the stake to Orion in a tender offer as of September 26, 2007; and (ii) we acquired networks serving approximately 1.1 million cable television subscribers in eight German federal states from Orion, as announced on September 20, 2007. The rescission period for this transaction elapsed on December 21, 2007 and the transaction was closed on April 30, 2008. This acquisition was financed through securing an additional Tranche C (as defined hereafter) under the Senior Credit Facility (as defined hereafter).

During the fiscal year 2007/2008 ended on March 31, 2008, KDG also reported several smaller acquisitions:

(i): 100% of the shares of Leto GmbH, an unlisted company based in Berlin, Germany, specialized in supplying multimedia services for housing industries;
(ii): 63,610 subscribers, including the major part of the associated technical CATV Level 4 network infrastructure from RKS Süd-West GmbH.

During the fiscal year 2006/2007 ended on March 31, 2007, the Company reported the following acquisitions:

(i): 100% of the shares of Schramm Elektro- and Antennen GmbH;
(ii): 100% of the shares of HOT-Kabelservice GmbH;
(iii): 2,800 subscribers and the associated CATV Level 4 network infrastructure from Titze Kabelbetriebs KG.

Since March 31, 2008, on June 30, 2008, an additional purchase of 30.0% of the direct share of KMG Kabel Fernsehen Hannover GmbH, of 4.2% the indirect share of RKS Niedersächsische Kabel-Servicegesellschaft GmbH & Co. KG and of 5.0% of the indirect share of RKS Niedersächsische Kabel-Service-Beteiligungsgesellschaft GmbH was closed.

Please note that the geographic distribution of these investments does not affect our business, as we are not operating within a certain geographic scope. See also ITEM 5B Liquidity and Capital Resources.

As from October 2007, the Federal Cartel Office (FCO) examined with regard to KDG's Pay TV offering (Kabel Digital Home) whether KDG is abusing a market dominant position. This examination was closed in June 2008 as the FCO could not find indications for a dominant position of KDG in the

market for the acquisition of broadcasting rights of full TV channels nor for impediments of competition by KDG. See also ITEM 4B Business Overview.

B. Business Overview

Our Business

Kabel Deutschland GmbH ("KDG") was founded on December 17, 2002 with its legal seat registered in Unterföhring (commercial register Munich HRB 145837). The operating business is predominantly performed by Kabel Deutschland Vertrieb und Services GmbH & Co. KG ("KDVS"), a wholly owned subsidiary of KDG.

As of March 31, 2008, the Company's cable television network passed approximately 15.3 million homes (excluding TKS) and served approximately 8,845 thousand direct and indirect cable subscribers.

Cable access subscribers are segmented into direct customers ("B2C"), indirect customers ("B2B") and wholesale customers. The loss in cable access subscribers primarily comes from the wholesale segment which has, however, the lowest ARPU and has less impact on our EBITDA results. Pay TV growth continues to be strong. In 2006 PPV ("Pay per view") services were introduced. The Company currently offers stand-alone Internet and stand-alone Phone products, however an overwhelming majority of new subscribers choose a bundled product. Internet and phone products may be subscribed to even without subscribing to CATV services.

We generate revenue through subscription and distribution fees from our cable access business, our pay TV and PPV business, our broadband Internet & Phone business and from other activities. Monthly subscription rates paid by our access customers depend on the number of subscribers connected at a network connection point. In general, single family direct customers pay a higher monthly subscription fee on a per subscriber basis than Level 4 operators or housing associations that aggregate several subscribers behind one network connection point. The Company gives a 5% discount to all customers who prepay the monthly subscription fee on an annual basis for the digital access product.

Level 4 operators typically resell the signal to housing associations but in some cases directly to end users. Housing associations provide the signal to individual tenants and may or may not charge the tenants for the service. We also charge installation fees related to the connection of subscribers to the network. In addition to providing basic cable television services to its subscribers, the Company charges television broadcasters carriage fees for delivering their television signals over the Company's network. These carriage fees are typically based on the number of homes into which the signal is delivered. The Company also delivers and charges carriage fees for radio signals delivered over the network into subscriber homes.

Cable Access Business

Cable Access contains all activities and services linked to the customer's physical access to the Company's cable network either directly to end customers or indirectly through commercial Level 4 operators or housing associations for which the Company charges a fee.

Cable access is the basis for free and paid services offered by the Company, including TV and radio services.

Our cable access business generates revenues through subscription fees, installation fees and other revenues. Through our cable access television business we generated €867.1 million, or approximately 72.4%, of our total revenues for the twelve months ended March 31, 2008.

•: Cable Access subscription fees paid for the access to our network and the delivery of analog and digital signals are generated from individuals, businesses and housing associations. Our current

cable access offering consists of between 32 and 41 analog television channels (depending on the region served) and up to 36 analog radio channels. In April of 2006, the Company discontinued the analog Access product offering for new single family homes and now offers a digital Access product instead, which includes analog and digital TV signals. The basic digital service is offered under the brand name of "Digitaler Kabelanschluss". This product includes the digital programs offered by the public broadcasters and most of the commercial broadcasters in Germany, totaling approximately 100 FTA digital channels. The product offers an enhanced electronic program guide (EPG) and access to a pay per view service comprising content from Hollywood Studios within the PPV/VOD licensing window under the Brand "Select Kino" as well as adult content under the brand "redXclub". Monthly subscription rates depend on payment terms and the number of subscribers connected at a single network connection point. On March 1, 2007 the Company changed the price on the access products delivered to single family homes from €14.13 to €16.90 per month (Digitaler Kabelanschluss). In order to become a digital viewer the customer can receive a Set-top-box free of charge.

•: Installation and network connection fees and reimbursements. Generally, each first-time subscriber is charged an installation fee upon initial connection to our network. In addition, we generate fees and receive reimbursements for connecting newly built homes to our network.

TV/Radio

In addition to the cable access business described above, the Company offers its own pay TV packages. The Company's pay TV packages are branded as Kabel Digital Home and Kabel Digital International. Kabel Digital Home offers more than 35 pay TV channels within seven genres (documentaries, movies and series, sports, entertainment, kids, music and adult). The product portfolio Kabel Digital International comprises more than 40 foreign language Pay TV channels grouped in nine language-specific packages. The Company sells its pay TV packages directly to consumers and to a lesser extent indirectly through certain Level 4 operators. We also sell our digital packages to an unaffiliated regional cable television operator. Under these wholesale agreements the operator typically receives a discount to our listed retail subscription fee.

Our TV/Radio business generates revenue through subscription fees, CPE sales, carriage fees and fees for services in connection with our digital playout facility.

•: Pay TV subscription fees, on-demand fees and CPE sales. Homes connected to our network and having a CPE installed can receive the digital programming of the public broadcasters and the major private broadcasters free of charge if they are cable digital access subscribers and have an activated smartcard. Customers may also subscribe to Kabel Digital International and Kabel Digital Home, the Company's own pay TV offerings. In addition we have established the two pay per view services "Select Kino" and "redXclub". Cable customers can access the respective services and purchase content on an NVOD basis.
•: Digital carriage fees are derived from the transmission of digital television programs of third party program providers, such as the public broadcasters, most of the large private free-to-air ("FTA") broadcasters and the programs transmitted by an unaffiliated pay TV operator in Germany.
•: Analog carriage fees. In addition to providing basic cable access services to its subscribers, the Company charges more than 200 national, regional and local television broadcasters carriage fees for delivering their television signals over the Company's network. These carriage fees are

typically based on the number of homes into which the signal is delivered. The Company also charges carriage fees for radio signals delivered over the network into subscriber homes

•: Playout facility fees. We operate a digital playout facility, which in addition to serving its own subscriber base packages, encrypts and distributes programming received from third party program providers via leased satellite transponders to our network and to the networks of the other regional cable television operators in Germany.

Internet & Phone

The Company can offer Internet & Phone services to those homes which are passed by its upgraded bi-directional network (630 MHz) and where the Company has or can have a direct relationship with the customer, or where the Level 4 operators allow us to either directly or indirectly provide our services ("Marketable Homes"). As of March 31, 2008, the Company passed approximately 11.0 million homes with upgraded network for increased capacity plus return path to enable a two-way communication. The company offers stand-alone Internet and stand-alone Phone products, however most customers subscribe to bundled offerings of Internet & Phone together. As of March 31, 2008, the Company served approximately 421 thousand subscribers which amount to approximately 393 thousand Internet and 361 thousand Phone RGUs.

TKS—Telepost Kabel-Service Kaiserslautern GmbH & Co. KG

TKS, a wholly owned subsidiary of KDVS, provides cable access, Internet & Phone services to the NATO military personnel based in Germany. It also provides billing services for telephone customers of DTAG who prefer English language bills.

Seasonality

Certain aspects of our business are subject to seasonal factors. For example, television usage, and the levels of new subscriptions for television services, is typically lower during the summer months. Our customer churn rates include persons who disconnect service due to moving, resulting in a seasonal increase in our churn rates during the summer months when higher levels of moves occur.

In addition, we have a disproportionately high level of annual prepayments in the months between November and February, which results in higher cash flow from operations in these months of the year.

Raw Materials

Due to the nature of our business, raw materials and the sources and availability of raw materials, hence the price volatility of commodities etc., are not relevant.

Our Markets

The German television market is the largest in Europe with about 35.0 million television homes (according to AGF/GfK). Cable television is the leading television signal distribution platform in Germany, with approximately 18.7 million, or 53.4% of television homes using this delivery means, followed by satellite (approximately 14.9 million, or 42.6% of television homes) and terrestrial reception via antenna (approximately 1.4 million, or 4.0% of television homes). DTT and TV distribution via Internet were only recently introduced in Germany.

In Germany, analog terrestrial transmission provides viewers with 3 to 12 analog channels, depending on the area where the viewer is located. Digital terrestrial television, which has replaced analog terrestrial television in most regions and can be received by almost 85% of all TV households via antenna (Dec. 2007), offers between 12 and 24 channels, depending on the area where the viewer is located. Cable television typically offers 33 to 45 analog channels (depending on the region served) and more than 200 digital free and pay TV channels. Satellite television also offers more channels than analog terrestrial transmission, typically up to 43 German language channels and several hundred international channels. Satellite and cable viewers also receive a variety of digital programming, including pay television services, with satellite viewers typically receiving the highest number of channels. In the case of cable, and to some extent terrestrial and television, subscribers also have access to the programming of smaller regional and local broadcasters.

Free television broadcasters pay fees for the terrestrial transmission of their programming and for transmission via satellite. Similarly, free television broadcasters pay carriage fees to Level 3 cable network operators and also to some Level 4 cable network operators for the distribution of their programming on cable networks. In addition to carriage fees, cable network operators are paid subscription fees either directly or indirectly from viewers receiving their television signals from cable television. We derive carriage fees for delivering digital as well as analog programming, taking into account the current special situation caused by simulcast on programming in analog and digital. In such cases the free television broadcasters pay the greater of analog and digital feed-in fees.

For historic reasons, the German market developed around an ownership division between broadcasters (Level 1), regional and local cable distribution networks (Level 2 and Level 3) and the in-house cable network (Level 4 networks). Whereas DTAG, and its predecessors constructed Level 2 and Level 3 networks (which we and the other regional cable companies now own and operate) and, to a limited extent, also Level 4 in-house networks, most of the Level 4 networks consist primarily of in-house wiring constructed by electricians, housing associations and local cable network operators, known as Level 4 operators. In recent years, some industry consolidation has occurred, such as consolidation among Level 4 operators, the acquisition of small Level 4 operators by regional cable companies, the business combination of a large Level 4 operator with regional cable companies and construction by some Level 4 operators of their own Level 3 networks. Although there may be further industry consolidation in the future, Level 4 operators currently remain primarily resellers of signals received from us, the other regional cable companies and satellite operators. The German Level 4 market tends to be characterized by smaller scale operators, although there are some larger operators.

We offer our services directly to homes or small apartment blocks (typically with 1 to 12 dwellings). We also offer our services indirectly through large housing associations and Level 4 operators for resale to their own subscribers. Subscription fees per subscriber are generally higher for direct subscribers as compared to those generated from operators or housing associations, both of which aggregate large numbers of subscribers behind individual connection points. Of our

approximately 8.8 million cable access customers as of March 31, 2008, approximately 2.8 million have a direct contractual relationship with us (B2C), the remainder being tenants of housing associations (B2B, approximately 3.5 million) or customers of Level 4 operators (wholesale, approximately 2.5 million).

We provide broadband Internet access and telephony services in some areas of our network. As of March 31, 2008, we served approximately 779 thousand pay TV RGUs, 361 thousand telephony RGUs and 393 thousand Internet RGUs. We offer broadband Internet products under the brand name Kabel Internet. We offer telephony service under the brand name Kabel Phone.

Germany is, by the total number of households, the largest Internet market in Europe. Technologies with transmission-line speeds higher than those for ISDN are generally classified as broadband. These include all fixed-line technologies, such as DSL, fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) and Internet access via cable or power line. In addition, satellite services and mobile technologies, such as UMTS, WLAN and WiMax, are usually also classified as broadband. Whereas analog dial-up modems may be used throughout Germany to connect to the Internet, the availability of all other means of access may be limited in certain regions.

The German broadband Internet market primarily comprises four access technologies: DSL, cable, power line and satellite, with DSL as the dominant access platform. The remaining Internet subscribers use narrowband access technology, in particular analog dial-up services.

Despite rapid growth, broadband penetration is still relatively low compared with other European countries, mainly due to the fact that cable operators have only recently begun to offer broadband Internet which for the first time has spurred infrastructure-based competition.

The market for fixed-line residential telephony is well established in Germany and is the largest in Europe. The market also has a high digitization rate, DTAG clearly dominates the market although, as a result of deregulation since 1998, the market share of DTAG has been decreasing both in terms of fixed-line telephone channels and minutes sold. Furthermore, the introduction of VoIP services further opens up this market to allow Internet service providers to offer telephony in conjunction with broadband Internet services.

Our Network

In total, our network extends over more than 261 thousand kilometers throughout the regions in which we currently operate and it passes approximately 15.3 million households. DTAG and its predecessors constructed both the cable television and fixed-line telephony networks, and certain parts of the infrastructure (including cable ducts, towers, fiber optic transmission systems and equipment locations) are shared by both the DTAG telephony service and our cable television businesses. We lease these assets from DTAG under the SLAs. For a description of the SLAs, see ITEM 10C. Material Contracts. We rely on DTAG and certain of its affiliates for a significant part of our network.

Our standard analog cable television network was originally constructed using tree architecture to deliver 470 MHz one-way signals. Within this bandwidth in our network the standard allocation uses 33 channels for analog and 19 channels for digital television services. We started to upgrade our current compression technology to a higher and enhanced modulation technology (QAM 256) in September 2006. It allows us to assign up to 16 digital television program streams to one digital channel. We started to convert analog channels into digital channels by upgrading our head end equipment to feed such channels. In these head ends one digital channel is assigned for HD-TV distribution.

Our standard network is served by 52 master head ends that receive analog television broadcast signals from satellite, terrestrial or in some cases direct feeds from program providers or broadcasters. The incoming signals are processed, assigned to channel positions and amplified for distribution. These 52 master head ends transmit the signals to approximately 370 supply areas, primarily via fiber optic

transmission. We also have 738 local head ends (including Level 4 head ends) that receive signals or direct feeds from program providers or broadcasters for distribution independently of a master head end. Approximately 320 of the master head ends and local head ends also receive digital signals via satellite from our digital playout center for distribution through the cable television network. All master head ends and the vast majority of the local head ends are located in facilities owned by DTAG. We lease these facilities from DTAG under the SLAs. The received signals at the head ends are distributed primarily by coaxial cable, but in some cases fiber optic, to approximately 2,200 hubs. In most cases we own the coaxial cable, but we typically lease the fiber optic network from DTAG under the SLAs and other agreements. The hubs are pure distribution points where no content is added.

From the hubs, A-lines (primarily extension lines) extend through public right of ways (öffentlich-rechtliche Wegerechte) to approximately 2.2 million splitters. Extension lines and drops then extend the splitters to connection points. In total there are approximately 4.2 million connection points available on the network. In the case of multi-unit dwellings the connection point may be located in the basement of the building. At the connection point, our own Level 4 network, housing associations or other Level 4 operators connect to our network. All third parties connecting to the network are required to meet our technical standards.

In general, the network is comprised of coaxial cables that are either buried in the ground or housed in cable ducts. The ducts are typically owned by DTAG and we lease duct space for our network under the SLAs. The distribution plant is powered by approximately 133,500 amplifiers. With the exception of the duct and fiber, we operate all of the distribution plant and associated electronics ourselves. We purchase the electrical power required to operate the master head ends, local head ends and amplifiers through DTAG under the SLAs. Purchasing the power from DTAG is necessary because, in many cases, the same power source supplies DTAG's telephone plant and our cable plant. In general, DTAG sells the power to us at cost plus a margin of approximately 5%. We believe that we would not be able to purchase power on better terms from another source because we benefit from DTAG's buying power.

Since our formation we have upgraded additional portions of our Level 3 network based on a technology allowing us to transmit bi-directional 630 MHz-signals which enables us to deliver Internet & Phone services. This technology does not require fundamental changes to our network structure. To upgrade our Level 3 network we only need to replace the active components of the amplifiers and the hubs and install additional head end equipment to monitor and deliver Internet traffic. In addition, Internet & Phone services typically also require an upgrade of the Level 4 in-house networks. Presently, the upgraded portion of our Level 3 network passes approximately 11 million homes. Based upon current upgrade projects, we expect to have approximately 12.0 million homes passed by our upgraded network by the end of March 2009.

In addition to our upgrade project we are segmenting our Level 3 network step by step. We build own fiber solutions in order to penetrate the HFC network and reduce the number of Level 3 Clusters. This segmentation upgrade is driven by customer growth. In some supply areas we use the spectrum of 862 MHz already and we plan to use the spectrum of 862 MHz in the following years through the segmentation of the Level 3 network.

The German Cable Network

The structure of the German cable network is strongly influenced by historical factors, in particular the previous monopoly of DTAG and its predecessors on telecommunication services until 1996 and the manner in which the subsequent deregulation of the telecommunications market was implemented. As

a result, the cable network in Germany can be divided into four functional levels, ranging from the content generation (broadcasters) to the distribution of the signal to the end customer.

Level 1 encompasses the production of content, the transmission of the signal to the satellite Earth station or a terrestrial transmitter, and the up-link to the satellite.

Level 2 is the part of the cable television network comprising (i) the down-link from the satellite or the terrestrial transmitter, (ii) the satellite or terrestrial reception equipment, (iii) the signal distribution from the reception equipment to the master-head ends and the hubs, (iv) the master-head end and head end functions and (v) the distribution of the signals from the head ends to the hubs.

Level 3 is the part of the cable television network which distributes the signal primarily via coaxial cable from Level 2 to the home connection points.

Level 4 is the part of the cable network which distributes the signal from the Level 3 connection point to the wall socket inside the home. Level 4 infrastructure primarily consists of the in-house wiring.

The vast majority of the Level 2 and Level 3 cable television network was constructed by DTAG's predecessor between 1980 and 1988. Another wave of construction activity followed after the reunification of Germany in 1990. Due to political decisions of the German federal government, electricians, housing associations and Level 4 operators initially constructed the majority of the Level 4 network infrastructure. This decision resulted in the development of a dual ownership network structure serving cable subscribers. This dual ownership structure is distinct from the single ownership cable structure prevalent in the United States and in most EU countries, in which private operators own the network entirely, from the head end to the wall socket inside the home.

Most of the network infrastructure from Level 2 to Level 4 is one-way coaxial cable with a bandwidth of 470 MHz. Within this bandwidth in our network, the standard allocation uses 33 channels for analog and 19 channels for digital television services. As a result of digital compression technologies, each digital channel can carry up to 12 program streams (64 QAM) or up to 16 program streams (256 QAM), resulting in approximately 200 potential program streams. Technically, it is possible to convert every analog channel into a digital channel by using specific digital head end equipment for such channels. In addition, this network infrastructure can be upgraded to permit the transmission of bi-directional 630 MHz-signals, thereby allowing Internet & Phone products to be distributed via the network.

Since DTAG's predecessors initially constructed both the fixed-line telephony networks and the cable television network, the telephony and cable television networks share a high degree of common infrastructure, in particular cable ducts, co-location facilities, towers and fiber optic systems. Today, this infrastructure is owned by DTAG and we are permitted to use it under long-term lease agreements. In addition, we purchase electrical power from DTAG. The relevant agreements with DTAG are an essential component of our operations and historically have accounted for our single largest expense item each year. See section "Our Network" above.

Our Strengths

Cable is the Leading Medium for the Delivery of Television Services in Germany. Approximately 18.7 million (53.4%) of the approximately 35.0 million German television homes are connected to a cable television network allowing them to receive cable television services on their television screens without further equipment or installation. As of March 31, 2008, our network passed approximately 15 million homes and we provided cable access television services to approximately 8.8 million households (57.9% of the homes passed). This customer base is both large and diverse. Many of our housing association and Level 4 customers have entered into multi-year contracts with us, and many of our direct customers (generally either individual homeowners or tenants in smaller multi-unit dwellings) prepay their subscription fees via direct debit on an annual, quarterly or monthly basis.

Scope for Broadband Growth. Broadband penetration in the German market of 21.2% is slightly above the OECD average of 18.8% (according to OECD 2007). Based on our recent experience with broadband and telephony rollout, we believe there is a substantial growth opportunity for our broadband services. Our current pricing and product offering are attractive in the German market and, given that we own our network, we believe we have margin and capacity advantages over some of our competitors. Currently, on our core product we offer a price advantage of approximately 40% to the market leader's offering and, technologically our cable network is superior to the DSL-network used by our competitors in the market.

Experienced Management Team, Advisors and Shareholders. Our management team and their advisors have significant experience in the cable, television and telecommunications industries in Germany.

Our Strategies

We currently hold a leading position in German television distribution. We aim to build on this market position and leverage our high quality infrastructure to also become a leading provider of digital video, broadband Internet & Phone services in Germany. We plan to further strengthen our existing subscriber base and to increase the penetration in our core markets by introducing new services and enhancing existing products. At the same time we are focusing on increasing the efficiency of our processes.

The key components of our strategy are as follows:

Maintain Subscribers and Grow Number of Revenue Generating Units ("RGUs") through Enhanced Product Offerings

•: Maintain our leadership in analog and digital cable television services. We intend to maintain our position in the cable television market by introducing innovative television products and expanding the range of broadcasting services we currently offer. We believe that continued investments in the product development, customer service and marketing are essential.
•: Introduce new cable television services and increase the content quality. We believe new and/or enhanced services assist our efforts to retain customers against competitive threats from satellite and new technologies, like DTT or IPTV. Since the launch of our pay television products, such as
Kabel Digital Home, we have continued to add new channels and packages and plan to continue to do so in the future. In addition to our pay television packages, we have introduced a pay-per-view movie service and a PVR service (Kabel Digital+). On the free TV side we constantly optimize the digital channel line-up to enhance the quality and quantity of our services.
•: Continue to push digitalization of the network. We intend to promote the benefits of digital cable television. By going digital we are able to use our network bandwidths more effectively allowing us to increase the number and range of channels within our cable access and pay TV offerings. To further increase the capacity in our network, we started to upgrad the modulation technology on our digital cable television platform to QAM 256. This allows us to send up to 16 digital video streams per analog channel (only certain channels are able to be upgraded to that extent) versus 12 streams under QAM 64.
•: Continue to grow broadband Internet & Phone services. We also intend to continue to focus on expanding our customer base for our Kabel Internet broadband access and Kabel Phone telephony services through various sales channels, by cross-selling services to our existing customer base and through further investments in the Internet upgrade of additional regions. So far, we have launched Phone services in all Internet upgraded areas and positioned the cable offer with a leading price/performance ratio. At fiscal year end on March 31, 2008 internet and phone RGUs increased by 127.8% to 754 thousand from 331 thousand in the previous year. The 2008 acquisition of cable assets serving 1.1 million subscribers from Orion will further enhance our marketable base for broadband internet & phone services and thus contribute to the company's growth profile.
•: Continued upgrade of the network for new and enhanced broadband Internet & Phone offerings. We intend to expand the reach of our broadband Internet & Phone services beyond the existing upgraded homes passed. We plan to expand the upgrade of the network and will

continue to upgrade areas wherever the network density and end customer profile justify the investment. We currently estimate that we will upgrade most of the network over the next two years. Our upgrade strategy entails upgrading the network in phases, thereby allowing us to continuously monitor the results from existing upgraded areas, developments in the competitive environment and changes within the regulatory framework.

•: Offer triple play bundled services. Similarly to other markets in Europe we believe there is potential for customer acquisition and retention through the bundling of our cable television, broadband Internet & Phone services. We will continue to offer bundles to improve ARPU, reduce customer acquisition costs, lower churn rates and maintain low maintenance expenses.

Continued Increase of Our Sales Effectiveness

•: Improving the efficiency of our sales force. We have restructured our sales organization to increase our sales focus on large clients and key accounts. Furthermore, we have aligned our sales activities with the major customer segments: direct-subscribers, indirect-subscribers (through housing associations) and wholesale (through Level 4 operators). We believe this organizational structure has allowed us to better serve all three major customer segments. We further believe that an increased sales and customer service presence will help us to compete more effectively for customer contracts, and as a result, increase our subscriber base and improve customer retention. Going forward, we will continually review the effectiveness of our various sales channels and will make adjustments as we deem necessary.
•: Entering into direct relationships with housing associations and increasing the number of marketable subscribers. We aim to enter into a greater number of direct contracts with housing associations. In exchange for upgrading the Level 4 infrastructure we obtain a higher contribution margin than on contracts directly with Level 4 operators. In addition, the contracts with housing associations give us closer contact with the end customer than contracts with Level 4 operators. In existing and new relationships with housing associations we also attempt to enter into contracts that allow us to market our pay TV, Internet & Phone products and services directly to the tenants. Permission to sell directly to end customers allows us to market our services more effectively and increases brand recognition.
•: Complementary acquisitions. We intend to pursue selective acquisitions of Level 4 operators further. With the recent Orion transaction we resolved the historic and unique separation of network levels in 8 German federal states to a large extent and, furthermore, we will continue to accelerate the integration of the Level 3 and Level 4 networks. Strategically, Level 4 acquisitions and consolidation positively impact our new products, particularly Internet & Phone, in two ways. First, acquisitions can make unattractive areas economically viable for upgrade by increasing the network density. Second, by bringing us one step closer to the customer, we believe acquisitions can increase our ability to attract subscribers since we can market directly to potential customers. By taking out intermediary agents margin improvements occur.

Continued Focus on Operational Excellence

•: Maintain our focus on customer satisfaction and operational excellence. To retain the subscriber base and improve the quality of service provided to customers we have instituted a program to increase the availability and service of our call centers, thereby improving performance on our service hotline and reaction time with respect to network outages. We will continue to focus on operational excellence with a goal of delivering products with the best combination of consistent quality, lower cost and faster cycle times. We place the customer first and will continue to improve the customer experience while emphasizing efficiency and reliability.

•: Efficiency improvement in Technical Operations. We successfully implemented a substantial restructuring project ("Operations 2008") within the Technical Operations department leading to considerable cost saving potentials and efficiency improvements.
•: Investments in IT. We have invested in our IT systems as we introduced new products and services and to ensure an efficient customer service experience. We believe we are now at the end of the cycle in terms of IT investment and anticipate that our IT investments will decline from historic levels.

Material Contracts

We have entered into various long-term Service Level Agreements ("SLAs") with DTAG and certain of its affiliates that are significant to our business. The various services offered by DTAG are defined under so-called "Term Sheets" that are part of the SLAs. For a complete list of material contracts see ITEM 10C "Material Contracts".

The Risk Management System for KDG

During the course of the previous business year, an organization-wide risk management system was introduced at Kabel Deutschland.

The implementation of the risk management organization including the publication of the risk management manual and the assignment of functions to management was carried out in 2006.

The risk management system is an integral component of all processes within our organization. It is designed to ensure that unplanned developments can be identified early and actively controlled by management.

History has shown that KDG's risk environment can change quickly and unexpectedly as a result of various situations and influences. It is therefore necessary to be able to react quickly so that no situation may cause substantial damage to the existence or have long-term impact on the assets, the financial position and earnings.

The decisions made on the identification and the taking of risks are generally made in the operating units. The management of KDG are therefore also risk managers. This means that the competencies for the responsibility and the control of risks lie with them. The system is supported by the central risk management unit which carries out risk controlling. The separation of functions is thus ensured.

Risk controlling has process responsibility and produces the quarterly reports for the Management Board which enable detailed transparency of the risk situation. In particular cases and in the event of determined limits in the early warning system being exceeded, immediate reporting is put in place alongside the regular standard reports. Furthermore, risk controlling is responsible for the continuous development of the risk management system and for setting organization-wide standards. Risks which overlap departments are also monitored here.

Regulation

German law and regulation draws a distinction between telecommunications and media laws. Telecommunications law applies to the establishment and operation of technical infrastructures for communication. Media laws apply to the content of such communication.

Telecommunications Regulation

Telecommunications services and the operation of telecommunications networks are subject to the regulatory regime of the Telecommunications Act ("Telekommunikationsgesetz") of June 22, 2004 (the

"Telecommunications Act") and certain ordinances under the Telecommunications Act. These ordinances contain further provisions in respect of, and in addition to, certain sections of the Telecommunications Act. The Telecommunications Act implements the European Regulatory Framework for Electronic Communications Networks and Services (the "Framework") that consists of, amongst other things, the Framework Directive (2002/21/EC), the Authorization Directive (2002/20/EC), the Access Directive (2002/19/EC), the Universal Service Directive (2002/22/EC), and the Directive on Privacy and Electronic Communications (2002/58/EC). The Framework with its various directives is currently under revision. Changes will most likely not become effective before the year 2009. It is further to be expected that the member states will from then on have two years to transform such changes into their national law.

The Telecommunications Act contains provisions regarding, among other things, (i) the establishment and powers of a regulatory body; (ii) notification requirements; (iii) the granting of rights of way; (iv) the allocation of frequencies; (v) access obligations; (vi) the regulation of fees for the provision of telecommunications services; and (vii) abusive behavior. In principle, regulation of access and fees applies to providers which have significant market power in the respective market. However, under certain preconditions, the FNA may impose certain obligations on operators with control over end-user access even if those operators do not have significant market power.

Important aspects concerning the regulation of access and fees for broadcasting and cable television markets are determined by a market definition and market analysis procedure which is conducted by the FNA. The outcome of this market analysis must be in line with the Framework Directive (2002/21/EC) and further directives of the Framework. In particular, national regulators must take into account the European Commission Recommendation (2003/311/EC) of May 8, 2003 (the "Recommendation") on relevant product and service markets within the electronic communications sector. The recommendation presumes only one relevant market for the broadcasting sector:Broadcasting transmission services to deliver broadcast content to end-users on the wholesale level (Market 18 of the Recommendation). In Germany, (i) the TV signal feed-in market and (ii) the market for TV signal delivery to other operators are associated to this market pursuant to a final market analysis published by the FNA in October 2006. Nevertheless the FNA is entitled to define further markets for regulation even though they are not listed in the Recommendation. At the end of 2007, the European Commission has revised the Recommendation and has removed, inter alia, Market 18 from the list of markets warranting special observation. This should have consequences for the next periodical market analysis to be performed by the FNA.

Pursuant to the current final market definition and market analysis published by the FNA in October 2006 and a regulatory ordinance published in April 2007, KDG, together with Kabel BW, Unity Media and T-Systems, found to have SMP (i) in the TV signal feed-in market and (ii) the market for TV signal delivery to other operators.

In addition, the Act on Radio Equipment and Telecommunications Terminal Equipment (Gesetz über Funkanlagen und Telekommunikationsendeinrichtungen) of January 31, 2001, as amended, and the Act on Electromagnetic Compatibility of Equipment (Gesetz über elektromagnetische Verträglichkeit von Geräten) of September 18, 1998, as amended, contain provisions applicable to the operation of telecommunications networks and equipment. In particular, telecommunications equipment must satisfy health and safety requirements and conform to certain technical standards. It is expected that the Act on Electromagnetic Compatibility of Equipment will be amended within 2007.

In 2006, DTAG announced its intention to build a fiber optic network in Germany's 50 largest cities. The FNA has announced that this network generally falls within its regulatory competence, in particular with respect to the wholesale broadband Internet access market, so long as the products and services provided via this network are merely a substitute to existing products and services. If the products and services provided via this network are deemed not to be mere substitutes for previously

existing products and services, then DTAG may operate this network without any regulation, for at least some initial period. In addition, pursuant to an amendment to the Telecommunications Act effective since February 2007, new markets shall in the future be exempted from regulation upon the FNA's discretion. The term of this exemption period is also to be determined by the FNA upon its discretion. The European Commission has raised serious concerns about the conformity of this regulatory exemption with the existing regulatory framework. After sending a letter of formal notice to Germany on the grounds that Germany's approach could in effect grant a "regulatory holiday" to the incumbent fixed network operator as it would reduce the discretion of the German NRA and bypass the consultation and consolidation mechanism provided for in the EU regulatory framework. The case was referred to the Court of Justice in the course of 2007.

The Regulatory Body

The FNA is responsible for the regulation of the German telecommunications market. It has various powers in respect of the enforcement of telecommunications laws and ordinances. All decisions of the FNA may be challenged before the competent courts.

Notification Requirements

The operation of telecommunications networks and the provision of telecommunications services do not require any licenses from any regulatory body. However, commercial operators of public telecommunications networks and commercial providers of telecommunications services for the general public have to notify the FNA of the commencement, any modification and the termination of their business activities.

Granting of Rights of Way

Operators of public telecommunications networks that wish to use public streets, squares, bridges and public waters for the laying and operating of telecommunications lines have to apply to the FNA for the granting of respective rights of way. In particular, the FNA has to determine whether the applicant has demonstrated sufficient professional expertise, reliability and financial capability to operate telecommunications lines.

On October 26, 2004, KDG was granted by the FNA all necessary rights of way throughout the territory in which it operates telecommunications networks.

Allocation of frequencies

In principle, a frequency allocation by the FNA is required for the use of frequencies. However, under the Frequency Range Allocation Plan Ordinance ("Frequenzbereichszuweisungs-planverordnung—FreqBZPV"), frequencies in cable networks within the frequency range of 9 kHz to 3 GHz may be used without allocation by the FNA provided that (i) the frequencies are not used in frequency ranges within which security relevant radio services are operated and (ii) electromagnetic interferences do not exceed a specified threshold. In cases of these preconditions not being satisfied the FNA is authorized to issue specifications for the use of the relevant frequencies. The operation of KDG's telecommunications cable networks may in the future either in general or in certain areas become subject to such specifications. Furthermore, KDG could be required to apply for individual frequency allocations for its telecommunications cable networks. There are political considerations to amend the Ordinance (in a first step) to free up frequencies currently devoted to broadcasting for mobile, stationary and/or wireless technologies in order to close existing gaps in broadband availability in Germany and to foster competition ("digital dividend"). Recent proposed changes in a regulation concerning the protection of public telecommunication networks (Verordnung zum Schutz von öffentlichen Telekommunkationsnetzen und Sende und Empfangsanlagen—SchuTSEV) aim at the

mandatory digitization or even complete switch-off of a specified number of analog channels in the lower frequency spectrum for security reasons (mitigating interference with air traffic etc.). The proposal provides for a digitization or switch-off in steps until the year 2011. It is still unclear, to what extent and at which point in time the proposed steps will have to be realized. The regulation is expected to become effective during the course of 2008.

Access Obligations

The FNA may impose on operators of public telecommunications networks with significant market power the obligation to grant other undertakings access for providing telecommunications services to their telecommunications networks. In particular, the FNA may impose the obligation to grant access for certain telecommunications services on an unbundled basis. For this purpose, the operator must offer access to its network in a manner that allows the other undertaking not to purchase any services that it does not require. Under certain preconditions, the FNA may also impose access obligations on operators of telecommunications networks if those operators do not have significant market power but control end-user access.

Among other things, the FNA is authorized to impose on operators of public telecommunications networks either having significant market power or controlling the end-user access the obligation (i) to grant access to certain network components and certain facilities as designated by the FNA, and (ii) to offer the re-sale of their telecommunications services on a wholesale basis. The FNA has discretion to determine whether access must be granted or re-sale must be offered. However, any such obligation imposed by the FNA must be reasonable in light of the circumstances of each individual case and in line with the directives and recommendations of the European Regulatory Framework.

Regardless of whether or not an operator of public telecommunications networks has significant market power, it is obligated to offer any other operator upon its request the interconnection of both parties' telecommunications networks provided the interconnection is technically feasible. KDG is subject to such obligation in respect of those parts of its telecommunications networks that have bi-directional transmission capability.

If the FNA were to impose the obligation on an operator to grant access to its telecommunications networks or to offer the re-sale of its telecommunications services on a wholesale basis, and if any third-party requested an offer from such operator for access to its telecommunications networks or for re-sale of its telecommunications services and failed to come to an agreement in this respect with such operator, the FNA would, upon application, be entitled to order the access or re-sale and provide for the terms and conditions (including fees) of such access or re-sale. Moreover, if an operator possesses significant market power, the FNA, upon application, has the authority to order the interconnection of such operator's and any third-party's public telecommunications networks and to provide for the terms and conditions (including fees) of such interconnection.

To date the FNA has not imposed any obligations on KDG to grant third parties access to its telecommunications networks or to offer third parties the re-sale of its telecommunications services on a wholesale basis.

Regulatory Framework

Before the revised Telecommunications Act of June 22, 2004 came into force, KDG was considered by the FNA, under the former Telecommunications Act of 1996, to have a dominant position in the regional markets of (i) the feed-in of radio and television programs into telecommunications cable networks and (ii) the distribution of radio and television programs via telecommunications cable networks to subscribers. In October 2006, the FNA has published the final market definition and market analysis for Market 18 based on the Recommendation and a regulatory ordinance as of April 2007, according to which KDG, Kabel BW, Unity Media and T-Systems in each case are considered to

have Significant Market Power (SMP) (i) in the market for analog and digital TV signal feed-in and (ii) the market for analog and digital TV signal delivery to other operators. KDG has filed various complaints against this ordinance with the competent court where these matters are pending. Furthermore, as mentioned above, the European Commission has per the end of 2007 revised the Recommendation and has abolished Market 18. The consequences of such removal are unclear as of yet.

As stated above, the European Regulatory Framework as a whole is currently under revision. Access obligations might therefore be modified on the European level which may have consequences for the existing obligations and respective remedies administered by the FNA on the national level.

Regulation of Fees for Telecommunications Services

Under the Telecommunications Act, an operator of a telecommunications network which has significant market power must not abuse its position in the market when it charges fees. In particular, it is deemed abusive if any such operator charges fees that (i)��only prevail in the market due to the significant market power of the operator, (ii) unjustifiably place its competitors at a significant competitive disadvantage, or (iii) are discriminatory. Amongst other things, an unjustified competitive disadvantage for the competitors of the operator is presumed by law if the fees such operator charges its customers do not cover the costs of the relevant service.

Furthermore, under the Telecommunications Act the fees for telecommunications services provided by an operator with significant market power or provided by an operator controlling the end-user access may be subject to regulation by the FNA.

KDG's fees for signal delivery to Level 4 operators and carriage of feed-in signals from broadcasters are subject to ex post regulation. During an ex post review, the FNA examines the fees charged as to whether they are abusive. If any such fees are found to infringe the requirements of the Telecommunications Act, the FNA must declare such fees void and it may either direct the affected operator to adjust its fees or provide for fees that are not abusive.

In the case of an ex ante review, the operator is required to apply to the FNA for fees approval before the fees can be introduced in the market. The FNA examines the fees as to whether they exceed the costs of efficient service provision. To date the FNA has not required us to submit any fee proposals and/or cost statements to it for anex-ante review.

Abusive Behavior

In addition to prohibiting the charging of abusive fees, the Telecommunications Act provides for a general prohibition of abusive behavior in the telecommunications markets by operators of telecommunications networks which possess significant market power. In particular, such abuse includes discriminatory and restrictive practices.

The FNA may prohibit abusive behavior and declare particular agreements to be void. The FNA may also confiscate profits generated from abusive behavior if certain conditions are met. Moreover, the FNA has the authority to impose an administrative fine on any company that fails to comply with its rulings as regards abusive behavior.

To date the FNA has not objected to the business practices of KDG on the basis that they constituted abusive behavior.

Fixed-Line Telephony and Internet Access Regulation

With respect to the commercial provision of (narrowband) telephony services to end-customers based on a self-operated fixed-line telecommunications network, the aforementioned provisions of the

Telecommunications Act as regards notification, granting of rights of way, allocation of frequencies, access obligations, regulation of fees and abusive behavior also apply. See "Telecommunications Regulation". In particular, if the Company is deemed either to have significant market power in the relevant market or to control end-user access, the FNA may impose access obligations on the Company, order the interconnection of end-customers or regulate the fees charged to end-customers.

Regulation of Call Termination Fees

As regards market 9 (call termination on individual public telephone networks of alternative network operators provided at a fixed location) of the Recommendation, the Company is deemed to have significant market power pursuant to a ruling by the FNA of October 2007. The FNA had already deemed Unitymedia and Kabel BW to have significant market power with respect to call termination in their telephone networks. Under said ruling, the fees for call termination services in our telecommunications network are subject to anex-post review by the FNA.

Interconnection

Alternative telephony service providers generally enter into an interconnection agreement with DTAG in order to allow their fixed-line telephony customers to call subscribers of other fixed and mobile telecommunications networks and to be called by third parties. The fees DTAG charges for its interconnection services are subject to an ex-ante review by the FNA. In addition, the FNA has ordered DTAG to publish a reference interconnection offer. DTAG's reference offer has been under review by the FNA. The currently existing interconnection agreement between alternative telephony service providers and DTAG may be terminated by DTAG and replaced with a standardized agreement based on the reference interconnection offer approved by the FNA. The Company has entered into an interconnection agreement with DTAG.

Pursuant to the above mentioned ruling by the FNA of October 2007, our company is likewise obligated to grant interconnection to alternative network operators seeking termination in our network on a transparent and non-discriminatory basis. This includes our obligation to publish a reference interconnection offer.

Consumer Protection

Pursuant to the Telecommunications Act and the Telecommunications Customer Protection Ordinance ("Telekommunikations-Kundenschutzverordnung—TKV") of December 11, 1997, KDG is obligated to comply with various provisions for the special protection of end-users (customers) as regards, among other things, (i) the formation of agreements, (ii) the subject matter and the termination of contracts and certain rights and obligations of the contracting parties and of third parties engaged in telecommunications traffic, (iii) quality of service, (iv) details of delivery periods, (v) the operator's liability vis-à-vis the end-customers, (vi) the way in which reference is made to standard terms and conditions and fees, (vii) requirements deriving from the Universal Service Directive, (viii) entries in directories and directory enquiry service databases, (ix) the blocking of the subscriber's line, (x) itemized bills, (xi) out-of-court dispute resolution procedures for customers and (xii) declaration from property owners.

There exists a number of draft proposals to amend the Telecommunications Act and other federal acts with special regard to consumer protection issues. The legislator intends to implement these proposals before the end of 2008. The proposed changes aim at, inter alia, facilitating the termination of agreements by end-users, stricter rules for operator customer acquisition practices and enforcement of legal remedies, especially with regard to unwanted telephone marketing. The final shape of these provisions is not determined as of yet.

Number Portability

Each public telephone network operator is obligated to enable its customers to retain their telephone number, in the case of geographic numbers, at a specific location, and to allow for number portability.

Numbering Issues

The FNA is the competent authority for the numbering administration. It is responsible for structuring and configuring the national number space in Germany. The FNA also allocates (technical) numbers to telecommunications network operators, telecommunications service providers and end-users. When KDG is allocated numbers (for example, local numbers for end-customers or a technical number in order to implement number portability) it is obligated to comply with certain conditions (for example, with regard to the transfer of numbers) as set out in the respective number allocation rules issued by the FNA. Furthermore, KDG has to observe certain statutory provisions with regard to premium-rate numbers. The FNA is authorized to impose fines of up to €0.5 million in order to enforce its regulations on numbering.

Privacy of Telecommunications, Data Protection and Public Safety

Each provider of telecommunications services is obligated to maintain telecommunications privacy. This means that the content and detailed circumstances of telecommunications, in particular the fact of whether or not a person is or was engaged in a telecommunications activity, shall not be disclosed to third parties.

In addition, each operator of telecommunications services is obligated to protect the personal data of telecommunications subscribers and users in connection with the collection and use of such data. The relevant sections of the Telecommunications Act provide for the collection and use of personal data.

Furthermore, any person offering publicly available telephone services is obligated to provide all users with free access to emergency services by using the European-wide emergency call number "112" and any additional national emergency call numbers.

Each service provider is obligated to make appropriate technical arrangements or take other measures in order to protect the privacy of telecommunications and personal data and telecommunications and data processing systems against (i) unauthorized access, (ii) any faults which would result in considerable harm to telecommunications networks and (iii) external attacks and the effects of natural disasters. In addition, it is obligated to nominate a security commissioner ("Sicherheitsbeauftragten") and to draw up a security concept ("Sicherheitskonzept") setting out (i) which telecommunications systems are to be used and which publicly available telecommunications services are provided, (ii) any potential hazards, and (iii) which technical arrangements or other safeguards have been made or put in place or are planned.

Interception and Information Requests from Law Enforcement Authorities

Each operator of a telecommunications system on which publicly available telecommunications services are provided has to provide, at its own expense, technical facilities for telecommunications interception by law enforcement authorities. The administrative and procedural details of the telecommunications interception are specified in the revised Telecommunications Interception Ordinance ("Telekommunikations-Überwachungsverordnung"), whereas the technical details (for example, relating to transmission protocols) are specified in the "Technical Guideline: requirements for the implementing of statutory telecommunications monitoring operations" ("Technische Richtlinie zur Beschreibung der Anforderungen an die Umsetzung gesetzlicher Maßnahmen zur Überwachung der

Telekommunikation"). The FNA regularly updates the technical guideline in order to reflect developments in technology, such as the use of e-mail and VoIP, for example.

Each operator of a telecommunications network or provider of telecommunications services is obligated to collect and store certain data with regard to the telecommunications traffic across its network in order to comply with statutory provisions related to law enforcement.

Telecommunications Contribution Charges

Telecommunications network operators and telecommunications service providers must pay a contribution charge to offset costs incurred by the activities of the FNA. However, the FNA has not yet published its ordinance setting out the criteria determining the amount of the contribution charges. It is likely that either market share or subscriber base will be a significant factor in calculating the amount of the contribution charges. It is also likely that the contribution charge will have retroactive effect from June 26, 2004 when the current Telecommunications Act entered into force.

Internet Access

With respect to the commercial provision of Internet access services to end customers based on a self-operated fixed-line telecommunications network, the same provisions of the Telecommunications Act apply as well. The regulations under the Telecommunications Act do not differentiate between content (voice telephony or Internet data) transmitted via the telecommunications network.

Even though the Recommendation does not provide for a national market for Internet access, the FNA has already conducted a market analysis with respect to Internet access services in Germany. However, within this market analysis, the Company was not deemed to have any significant market power within the market for Internet access services. Therefore we are not subject to any regulation due to the FNA's market analysis for the Internet access market.

With regard to the provision of Internet access via our network certain statutory provisions apply. Internet access providers are generally not obligated to monitor the content transmitted via their telecommunications infrastructure if their role is strictly limited to the technical transport of the signals. Otherwise, certain monitoring obligations pursuant to the State Broadcasting Treaty (see below) may apply. There are current political discussions to tighten the obligations of Internet access providers to block certain traffic, especially illegal content with regard to protection of minors. The outcome of such discussions is unclear as of now. See also ITEM 4B. Provision of Telemedia Services.

Media Regulation

Regulation of the media is subject to the legislative authority of each of the German federal states (Bundesländer). Each federal state has its own media law, all 16 federal states however, have also harmonized certain parts of their media laws in the state broadcasting treaty concerning broadcasting and so-called telemedia services (Rundfunkstaatsvertrag, or State Broadcasting Treaty). The State Broadcasting Treaty establishes the framework of the German broadcasting system. In particular, it provides for a regime designed to ensure that a diversity of views and opinions is secured and delivered in the mix of public and private radio and television channels and their respective programming. The State Broadcasting Treaty, together with the media laws of each of the federal states, regulates (i) the establishment and powers of regulatory bodies, (ii) the licensing of private broadcasters, (iii) notification requirements in connection with the (re-)transmission of radio and television programs, and (iv) the allocation and use of transmission capacities and digital platforms. The State Broadcasting Treaty—and as a corollary the media laws of the federal states—are under permanent revision, as the legislators see the need to adapt the law to technological and economical changes in the media field constantly.

The State Broadcasting Treaty has recently been amended to introduce a distinctive "platform" regulation and specific rules concerning the scale and scope of obligatory digital retransmission of programs or bundles of programs. The scale and scope of such must-carry obligations has in certain parts been narrowed down which has a beneficial effect on our capacity to manage digital bandwidth in our networks. The revised treaty will come into force on September 1, 2008. The European Directive 89/552/EEC on the provision of audiovisual media services, which forms the basis of certain of the provisions in the State Broadcasting Treaty, has been amended per the end of 2007 (Audiovisual Media Services Directive). The amendments include reductions of the regulatory burden on Europe's providers of TV and TV-like services to provide them with more flexibility for financing audiovisual content by new kinds of advertising. However, they also include new definitions of linear and non-linear services which might have an effect on the German distinction between broadcasting and telemedia services in general and an adverse bearing on the must-carry obligations, our near-video-on-demand and potential future on-demand services in particular. The amendments will have to be transferred into national law by the end of 2009. The outcome and the implications are not yet clear as of now.

The establishment, the functions and the obligations of the public broadcasters are regulated separately.

The Regulatory Bodies

As a rule, each German federal state has established its own independent regulatory body, the state media authority ("Landesmedienanstalt"), for the regulation of the private broadcasting sector and platform providers. The states of Berlin/Brandenburg and Hamburg/Schleswig-Holstein have established a joint regulatory body. A number of joint committees among the state media authority exist to coordinate certain aspects of media regulation.

The state media authorities are primarily responsible for the licensing and supervision of private broadcasters and the allocation of transmission capacities for radio and television channels. In most states, they are also required to run, or to supervise, "open channels" (amateur radio and television channels). The state media authorities have the power to supervise the compliance with, and to intervene against infringements of the provisions of the State Broadcasting Treaty regulating matters as the use of conditional access systems, application programming interfaces and electronic program guides and the charging of fees from broadcasters and other content providers.

The state media authorities have various powers to enforce compliance with the law. Any decisions of the state media authorities can be challenged before the competent administrative courts. The regulatory body in the field of telecommunications, the FNA, has similar jurisdiction and powers with respect to the subject matters mentioned above. Such double regulation has a potential adverse effect on our business.

License and Notification Requirements

Private broadcasters are required to obtain broadcasting licenses from the competent state media authority in accordance with applicable state laws. In contrast, the operation of cable networks for the transmission of radio and television programs does not currently require a license from a state media authority. In certain states, however, a notification to the state media authority is required in connection with the operation of cable networks. The new State Broadcasting Treaty will introduce a general notification requirement for digital platform providers. In addition, the analog and/or digital transmission of radio and television channels transmitted via cable networks must be notified. The operators of cable networks and other relevant parties are also required to notify the state media authorities of (i) the use of conditional access systems and electronic program guides, (ii) title to application programming interfaces, and (iii) their feed-in fees. This requirement also applies with respect to subsequent changes of the foregoing.

Allocation and Use of Transmission Capacities

The State Broadcasting Treaty sets forth the rules for the allocation and use of digital transmission capacities and digital platforms for television channels. In addition, the allocation and use of analog transmission capacities for both radio and television channels and digital transmission of radio channels is governed by the laws of the respective states. The State Broadcasting Treaty expressly clarifies that rules for the allocation and use of analog transmission capacities are permitted to be established by the states only to the extent that they are necessary to meet clearly defined general interest objectives.

Art. 31 sec. 1 of the Universal Service Directive of the European Communities (the Universal Service Directive) is the blueprint of the before-mentioned clarification. It requires a proportional "must-carry" regime and does not distinguish between analog and digital transmission of radio and television channels. In addition, the Universal Service Directive requires a periodic review of the "must-carry" regime.

Consequently, the State Broadcasting Treaty provides for a review of the currently applicable "must-carry" regime on a regular basis. Said requirements of the Universal Service Directive must also be implemented into the other relevant legislation of the states. Therefore, the "must-carry" regime must be reviewed periodically on all national levels and could become still less strict in the future, in particular with respect to the analog transmission of radio and television channels. In order to push this process of deregulation, the German cable association (Deutscher Kabelverband) filed a complaint with the European Commission which in 2006 has led the European Commission to open formal infringement proceedings against Germany. In its reply, Germany has rebutted the Commission's view asserting that the existing regimes are lawful. The Commission has, in principle, upheld its position. The final outcome of this complaint has not yet been determined, as the case is resting until the European Court of Justice (see below) has come to a decision. Kabel Deutschland has filed a suit against a ruling of September 2005 by the media authority of Lower-Saxony pursuant to which the full analog cable spectrum is allocated to the authorities decision under to the current regulatory regime. The claim is based, inter alia, on the argument that the allocation of the full analog spectrum is a violation of the art. 31 sec. 1 of the Universal Service Directive. The administrative court in charge of the matter has referred the case to the European Court of Justice for a preliminary ruling to have this (and other) questions answered. The outcome is unclear as of yet. A decision is to be expected around by March 2008.

Allocation and Use of Analog Transmission Capacities

As stated above, regulations regarding the analog transmission of radio and television channels vary from state to state and cable network operators are generally not entirely free to allocate analog channels in their networks. Rather, the state media authorities make—in varying degrees in accordance with the respective state's media law—allocation decisions regarding which programs will be carried over the cable networks, in keeping with the states' responsibility for ensuring that a diversity of views and opinions is secured in the mix and delivery of channels and programming. Regulations as of now do not explicitly state whether cable network operators are entitled to decide the amount of capacity they devote or use for the broadcasting of radio or television channels and which amount they devote or use for other services such as Internet access. However, the new State Broadcasting Treaty as of September 2008 will, at least for digital capacities, contain provisions confirming the cable operators' entitlement to make such allocation decision. It is also not clearly stated whether or not the cable network operators can freely determine which capacities they use for analog and for digital transmission. Some of the state media authorities seem to be of the opinion that it is not the cable network operators who are entitled to decide on these questions. Some state media laws or statutes of the state media authorities expressly state the number of cable channels that must be used for the analog transmission of television programs. Channels will be given preference by the state media authorities if they are deemed to contribute to the diversity of views and opinions in the respective

state so that the state's mix of channels and programs reflects a range of political, religious, cultural, social and ethnic views.

In general, state media authorities prioritize the allocations of channels based on the following order:

•: channels of the respective state's public broadcasters;
•: channels of private broadcasters (including local and regional channels) licensed in the respective state and open channels;
•: general interest channels of private broadcasters;
•: special interest channels of private broadcasters; and
•: other programs
•: telemedia services.

The specific allocation of channels varies from state to state, and rules relating to the allocation of radio channels are usually somewhat less strict than those relating to television channels. In certain states, the state media authorities make allocation decisions regarding all or almost all of the analog channels available in the network. In other states, the law defines a number of "must-carry" channels, while the network operator is entitled to allocate the remainder of the capacity. An increasing number of states have adopted more liberal allocation regimes which grant network operators the right to allocate a limited number of channels, subject to certain legal constraints and as long as such allocations do not conflict with the state media authority's policy with respect to the diversity of opinions. In some cases, a certain portion of channels is given to the network operator to be allocated as they see fit under purely economic considerations (within the confines of the general laws). Whereas the state of Bavaria went farthest in deregulating its media law to reduce the must-carry obligations to limited number of channels. However, the recent past has also seen a re-regulation of previously more liberal regimes, such as in the state of Saarland.

In those states where the state media law grants preference to channels that are terrestrially receivable within the state, the introduction of digital terrestrial television in several metropolitan areas in Germany also affects the allocation of analog cable capacities. Digital terrestrial television (DTT) allows for the reception of 12 to 24 channels, which according to the interpretation of the law by some media authorities leads to a "must-carry" status of the digital terrestrial channels. We have challenged in court such interpretation of the law in the case of a September 2005 ruling by the media authority of Lower-Saxony (see already above). Because of doubts of the conformity of said interpretation with European law (especially art. 31 sec. 1 of the Universal Service Directive), the court referred the case for a preliminary ruling to the European Court of Justice in June 2007. A ruling in our favor could potentially clear the way and provide general guidelines for more liberal media laws in the states in the future. Broadcasters have the right to file a complaint with the relevant state media authority in the event that cable network operators unlawfully refuse to transmit their signals. The state media authorities are vested with the power to order the transmission of channels upon such complaints, provided that the respective broadcasters programs enjoy "must-carry" status or that the network has sufficient excess capacity. Whether or not the broadcasters, in particular those enjoying "must-carry" status, are entitled to assert claims for distribution directly against the cable network operator is unclear. It is also not uncontested, yet asserted by us and now standard practice, that a cable network operator's obligation to transmit "must-carry" programs is subject to the conclusion of a carriage agreement with the respective broadcaster. In the absence of such a carriage agreement, it has proven difficult for the cable network operator to claim carriage fees.

Allocation and Use of Digital Transmission Capacities

The State Broadcasting Treaty also governs the digital transmission of television channels. The State Broadcasting Treaty prioritizes the allocation of digital transmission capacities in three different categories of channels:

•: First Tier: Each operator of a telecommunications cable network must reserve the equivalent capacity of a maximum of three analog channels for the transmission of all channels of the respective state's public broadcasters. According to current political discussions, such limit might be removed in the future, the consequences of which for our business are unclear as of now. Furthermore, each network operator must allocate the transmission capacity equivalent to one analog television channel to regional and local television channels of private broadcasters licensed to broadcast in the relevant state and open channels (where those exist). In the new State Broadcasting Treaty effective from September 1, 2008, this capacity limit is no longer mentioned, which might have a beneficial effect on our capacity management. Cable network operators are also required to transmit the two television channels of private broadcasters that are distributed nationwide and achieve the largest coverage in Germany, as these are obligated by law to include local programming windows in order to foster diversity of views and opinions.
•: Second Tier: Each cable network operator must allocate transmission capacity equivalent to one third of the total digital transmission capacity of his network on the basis that this mix of channels ensures a diversity of views and opinions, which allows for a certain degree of discretion.
•: Third Tier: Cable network operators are free to allocate the remainder of the capacity subject only to certain general legal constraints.

As mentioned above, the new State Broadcasting Treaty effective from September 1, 2008 will include a provision implicitly confirming that it is in the cable operator's discretion to determine which portion of capacity they allocate to the transmission of radio and television channels and telemedia services on the one hand, and telecommunications services on the other.

The cable network operator is not entitled to de-bundle the digital program packages of public and private broadcasters and to compile their contents and other programs into new program packages for its own marketing without the broadcaster's consent. However, the Treaty as of September 2008 acknowledges the cable operator's right to make changes that serve to enhance technical efficiency as long as such changes do not have negative effects on the agreed-upon delivery standard. It is uncertain whether this entitlement includes the right to encrypt the digital broadcasting signal without the broadcaster's consent, in order to make sure that only entitled subscribers can watch the digital broadcasted contents.

The rules regarding the allocation of digital transmission capacities for radio channels vary from state to state. The new Treaty as of September 2008 will however introduce unified must-carry obligations for radio channels.

Use of Technical Digital Platforms

The operation of technical digital platforms for television is also governed by the State Broadcasting Treaty. A digital platform in the technical sense can be defined as the entirety of all infrastructure and technical means (e.g. CAS, subscriber management, transmission paths, etc.), which enable customers to receive, and providers to distribute, digital content of any kind. The new Treaty as of September 2008 will introduce a general platform regulation (see above) in an attempt to extend must-carry and related obligations to other digital delivery systems as well.

Providers of telecommunication services via technical digital platforms, which distribute broadcast or comparable telemedia services, must guarantee that the distribution technology used in the technical digital platform allows diversity of offers. They are prohibited from restricting or discriminating against broadcasters or providers of telemedia, in particular, through the use of conditional access systems, application programming interfaces and navigators or pricing models. Moreover, providers of telecommunications services are required to notify the state media authorities of the use of conditional access systems and navigators and of the title to any application programming interfaces. See "License and notification requirements".

The Bavarian state media authority ("Bayerische Landesanstalt für neue Medien—BLM") confirmed by order of July 23, 2004 that the navigator offered by KDG at that time complied with the regulatory requirements of the predecessor version of the State Broadcasting Treaty. Furthermore, in dismissing an objection to this order filed by an alliance of public broadcasters, the BLM stated that our navigator also satisfied the applicable regulatory requirements of the State Broadcasting Treaty as amended. However, at the present time, KDG does not use or offer this navigator expect as in the original digital receiver population the navigator was designed for.

The Telecommunications Act also includes provisions applicable to the use and the licensing of conditional access systems and application programming interfaces. As pointed out above, the relationship between the provisions of the Telecommunications Act and of the State Broadcasting Treaty and between the authority of the FNA and the state media authorities has not been clarified by the latest legislation.

Regulation of Fees

Under the State Broadcasting Treaty, fees for the transmission of radio and television channels and of telemedia services may not be restrictive or discriminatory. It is unclear whether this requirement also applies to fees for the licensing of conditional access systems, application programming interfaces and electronic program guides. The new Treaty as of September 2008 makes such interpretation more likely. The operators of cable networks are required to notify the state media authorities of their feed-in fees. See "License and notification requirements". And the state media authorities are authorized to review these fees. State media authorities are required to consult with the FNA before they decide upon investigated infringements of the State Broadcasting Treaty. However, due to the split of the legislative authority between the Federal government and the states, it is doubtful whether the introduction of regulation by the state media authorities of the fees that operators of cable networks charge broadcasters is in line with German constitutional law.

Provision of Telemedia Services

Under German law, the provision of electronic content offerings other than broadcasting services or pure telecommunications services, such as electronic press, teleshopping services, or video-on-demand offers, are regulated by the Telemedia Act in force since March 1, 2007 (Telemediengesetz) and the current State Broadcasting Treaty, likewise in force since March 1, 2007 (until that time, these services were regulated as Media Services in a separate treaty). For the regulations to apply it does not matter whether the electronic content service is delivered via fixed-line telephony networks, cable networks or other means of distribution or whether the delivery is based on the Internet Protocol or any other transmission standard. The former distinction between tele services and media services has been abolished under the State Broadcasting Treaty and the Telemedia Act. These changes do not have substantial consequences for our business. Recent discussions concerning the implementation of the revised Audiovisual Media Services Directive into German law until the end of 2009 (see above) may lead to changes in the differentiation between broadcasting and telemedia services, the outcomes and effects of which are however unclear at the moment.

The provision of a telemedia service does not require a license from, or a notification to, any regulatory body, as long as it is not a telemedia service "comparable to broadcasting". However, a notification to the state media authority of telemedia services distributed via typical television distribution platforms, such as cable networks, is best practice. In a decision, the European Court of Justice has ruled that so called near-video-on-demand offers qualify as broadcasting services under European law. According to this decision providers of near-video-on-demand services must comply with program quotas for European productions, which could make it difficult to furnish near-video-on-demand offerings with "Hollywood blockbusters" only. This decision may also result in near-video-on-demand operators in Germany being prohibited from incorporating adult content into their offerings because under German regulation such content is allowed in telemedia but not in broadcasting offerings. Again, it is unclear what effect the revised Audiovisual Media Services Directive might have on German national media law in this regard.

In this context, the State Treaty on the Protection of Minors in Broadcasting and Telemedia (Jugendmedienschutz-Staatsvertrag), as amended, provides for the admissibility of adult content offerings under specified conditions, namely ensuring that such content is only made available to closed groups of users. The competent regulatory bodies of the German states have issued guidelines how a provider of telemedia services can meet the legal conditions, e. g. by way of identification and age verification systems. As regards the current adult content telemedia service available via KDG's digital platform, the regulatory bodies have found that the system installed by KDG fully meets the safeguarding conditions.

Zoning Laws

German zoning laws currently restrict the installation of satellite dishes in certain areas. In addition, contracts with residents of multi-unit dwellings may, and usually do, prohibit tenants from attaching satellite dishes to their apartments if they are connected to a cable network. However, this may change in the future. The European Commission published a communication claiming that the EU's rules on free movement of goods and services prohibit national restrictions on the individual reception of satellite television signals. While restrictions on individuals resulting from contracts with housing associations do not fall under these rules, the EU's current communication seems to exhibit a determination to remove this perceived barrier to the free movement of goods and services. As a result, German law may change in the future, which may ultimately result in an increase in the number of satellite users and intensify competition with satellite providers.

Environmental

We are subject to a variety of laws and regulations relating to land use and environmental protection, including those governing the clean-up of contaminated sites. For example, asbestos-containing materials and polychlorinated biphenyls have been identified at approximately 20 to 30 of the facilities which we lease from DTAG under the SLAs. We believe these facilities have been refurbished by DTAG in accordance with applicable law.

While we could incur costs, such as clean up costs, fines and third-party claims for property damage or personal injury, as a result of violations of environmental laws and regulations, we believe that we are in substantial compliance with the applicable requirements of such laws and regulations.

Important Business Developments

During fiscal year 2007/2008 the Company continued with its strategy to become the leading triple play company in Germany. In order to attain this goal, among others the following actions were taken:

•: In July 2007, the Company finished a major restructuring effort in the Technical Operations department that had been kicked off in February 2007. The focus of the reorganization was to

increase efficiencies by centralizing several service centers and by introducing an electronic disposition system for in-field technicians;

•: On May 18, 2007, the Company bought a 14.28% stake in Primacom. With this transaction, KDG increased its Primacom stake to 18.6%. On September 26, 2007 KDG tendered its entire stake in a public tender offer from Orion;
•: On May 21, 2007, Dr. Adrian v. Hammerstein became the new CEO of Kabel Deutschland;
•: In April 2007, the Company decided to launch a new TV product, a Personal Video Recorder (PVR), on a "Try and Buy" basis to its subscriber base. This is one of the first PVR offerings in the German market and over time is likely to change German TV viewer consumption behavior;
•: In the summer of 2007, the Company decided to in-source the telephony services and interconnections that were previously provided by an external service provider. The contract with this service provider was terminated. The switch-over worked smoothly and without disruptions;
•: In September 2007, the Company officially launched the 'Solo' product where customers may subscribe to telephony and internet services without necessarily subscribing to the Company's TV access product. This decision was an important milestone for the Company's overall product strategy;
•: On September 13, 2007, KDG announced the marketing start of Kabel Internet & Phone in the federal state of Lower Saxony which was upgraded in the months prior to marketing start. With this upgrade, KDG added another approximately 2.0 million Homes Passed upgraded;
•: On September 30, 2007, the Company announced the acquisition of approximately 1.1 million cable television subscribers from Orion for approximately €500.0 million;
•: On December 21, 2007 the Company started a trial in the city of Hamburg deploying the new cable software version DOCSIS 3.0, in order to test Internet download speeds of up to 100 MBit/s. The successful test marked a milestone in the cable business demonstrating the superior network infrastructure. This test might be important for new product offerings in the future; and
•: KDG generally improved its product line-up throughout the year, i.e. offering inexpensive fixed line telephony access, increasing speeds in the broadband business to 30 MBit/s (end of the fiscal year) starting at 10 MBit/s (beginning of the year) for its so-called "Deluxe"-product and enhancing the pay TV product by adding/exchanging TV channels.

D. Property and Equipment

The Company does not own land and buildings. All buildings are leased. Leasehold improvements have to be removed from many of our properties at the end of the lease. These obligations are accrued by the Company and the respective amount is capitalized in property and equipment.

Most of the Level 2, 3 and 4 equipment needed for the core operations is owned by KDG and amortized on a straight-line basis.

The Company owns and operates an advanced digital play-out facility capable of delivering encrypted digital television signals via satellite up-links to all of Germany.

In many cases KDG leases space in the cable ducts of DTAG to house KDG's cable network. In relation to these leases, KDG is subject to contractual asset retirement obligations. Depreciation is charged over the normal useful life of the respective assets.

Customer premises equipment is presented as part of the technical equipment. For customer premises equipment classified as operating lease, historical costs include the present value of estimated future costs and expenses necessary for the reverse logistics of the equipment after the termination of the contract with the customer.

The Company has Level 4 equipment leased on a finance lease agreement which is capitalized as technical equipment in property and equipment. The Level 4 equipment is amortized on a straight-line basis.

Also, the Company has satellite transponders leased on a finance lease agreement which are capitalized as technical equipment in property and equipment. The satellite transponders equipment are amortized on a straight-line basis.

We believe that our properties, both owned and leased, are in good condition and are suitable and adequate for our business operations.

The Senior Credit Facility is secured by all the assets of KDVS. See also ITEM 10C Additional Information.

ITEM 4A. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS

Not applicable.

ITEM 5. OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS

A. Operating Results

We operate the business through four operating segments: Cable Access, TV/Radio, Internet & Phone, TKS and Reconciliation segment which primarily includes central services and corporate activities.

We measure our financial performance in large part with reference to EBITDA. We define EBITDA as profit from ordinary activities before depreciation, amortization, non-cash compensation, which consists primarily of expenses related to our management equity programs and non-cash restructuring expenses (Adjusted EBITDA). Adjusted EBITDA is not a recognized accounting term, does not purport to be an alternative to profit from ordinary activities or cash flow from operating activities and should not be used as a measure of liquidity. We believe Adjusted EBITDA facilitates operating performance comparisons from period to period and company to company by eliminating potential differences caused by variations in tax positions (such as the impact on periods or companies of changes in effective tax rates or net operating losses) and the age and book depreciation of tangible assets (affecting relative depreciation expense). Because other companies may not calculate Adjusted EBITDA identically to us, our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA is not calculated in the same way that "Consolidated EBITDA" is calculated under the indenture governing the Notes or under the terms of our Senior Credit Facilities. However, Adjusted EBITDA is a commonly used term to compare the operating activities of cable television companies.

Impact of Inflation and Exchange Rate Fluctuations

A portion of our costs is affected by inflation. We attempt to restrict increases in our costs below the rate of inflation through productivity improvements and capital expenditure. However, general inflation affects costs for our competitors and us.

Our functional and reporting currency is the Euro. We have almost no revenues, and almost no expenses or liabilities that are denominated in currencies other than the Euros other than described below. We could incur significant currency exchange risks in relation to the Dollar denominated Senior Notes, although we fully hedged this exposure at the time of closing the Senior Notes over the initial five years or up until the first call date in July of 2009. In the future, if we incur other debt denominated in other currencies, such as Dollar denominated bank or bond debt, we could incur additional currency risk and related hedging costs.

The exchange rate underlying our five year currency hedge was fixed at USD/EUR 1.2066 until 2009. A 1.0% increase (decrease) in the USD/EUR exchange rate subsequently to that would result in an incremental increased (decreased) notional amount to be repaid in 2014 of approximately €

5.1 million. Further a 1.0% increase (decrease) in the USD/EUR exchange rate would result in an incremental increased (decreased) annual interest payment of approximately €0.5 million after expiry of the currency hedge in 2009.

Interest Rate Risk

Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our debt obligations. We have no cash flow exposure due to rate changes on the Senior Notes because they will bear interest at a fixed rate.

As of March 31, 2008, we had interest rate swaps with a notional amount of approximately €455.5 million which effectively exchanged the floating EURIBOR-based interest rate into a fixed interest rate of 3.705% per annum. In addition, we had interest rate caps of 4.2% per annum with a notional amount of approximately €151.8 million as of March 31, 2008. The remaining balance of the Senior Credit Facilities Tranche A and Tranche B of up to €867.7 million was not hedged and is therefore subject to fluctuations in the EURIBOR-based interest rate.

A 100 basis points increase in the current EURIBOR rate would result in an increase of annual interest payments of €5.4 million and a 100 basis points decrease in the current EURIBOR rate would result in a decrease of annual interest payments of €6.6 million, based on a notional amount of the swaps of €455.5 million, notional amount of the cap of €151.8 million, €1,150.0 million debt outstanding and current EURIBOR levels of approximately 4.4%. Excluding the existing swap and cap arrangements, a 100 basis points change in the current EURIBOR rate would result in a change of €11.5 million annual interest payments.

With regard on effect on net income and equity, a 100 basis points increase in the current EURIBOR rate would result in a decrease of €8.6 million and a decrease in the same amount would result in an increase in net income and equity of €8.2 million respectively.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of our financial statements requires management to apply accounting methods and policies that are based on difficult or subjective judgments, estimates based on past experience and assumptions determined to be reasonable and realistic based on the related circumstances. The application of these estimates and assumptions affects the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from these estimates given the uncertainty surrounding the assumptions and conditions upon which the estimates are based.

We have summarized below our accounting policies that require the more subjective judgment of our management in making assumptions or estimates regarding the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain and for which changes in conditions may significantly affect our results of operations and financial condition. For more information see the Notes to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 20-F.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recognized at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Borrowing costs are not capitalized. Rebates, trade discounts and bonuses are deducted from the purchase price.

For technical equipment located on leased property, historical costs include the present value of estimated future costs and expenses necessary for restoration of the leased property after termination of the lease agreement.

Leases

Operating lease

A lease is accounted for as an operating lease if all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of the leased item remain with the lessor. Operating lease payments are therefore recorded on a straight-line basis over the lease term as an expense in the consolidated statement of operations.

Operating Lease for Customer Premises Equipment (CPE)

To connect to Internet & Phone services as well as to receive digital TV, the Company leases the necessary equipment to customers. These leases for which the Company is the lessor, are classified as operating leases. Therefore, the Company capitalizes the equipment as fixed assets based on acquisition cost and the cost of removing the asset at the end of the lease. Over the useful life of 3 years, the assets are depreciated using the straight-line method.

Finance Lease

In accordance with IAS 17 "Leases", assets leased under finance leases are recorded at the lower of fair value at the inception of the lease or the present value of the lease payments. The assets are depreciated using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful life or over the lease period. The obligations related to future lease payments are recognized as liabilities. Lease payments are apportioned between the finance charges and reductions of the lease liability so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are charged directly against income.

Subsequent Expenses

Rental costs are expensed. Repair and maintenance charges are expensed during the financial period in which they are incurred. The cost of significant renovations and additions are included in the carrying amount of the asset when it is probable that future economic benefits in excess of the originally assessed standard of performance will be realized by the Company. Significant renovations are depreciated over the shorter of the remaining useful life of the related asset or the lease term.

Depreciation of Fixed Assets

Depreciation is calculated based on the straight-line method over each asset's estimated useful life as follows:

Buildings and leasehold improvements		3 to 25 years
Technical equipment and machines		3 to 20 years
Property and equipment		3 to 15 years

Gains and losses from derecognition of fixed assets are determined by deducting the carrying amount of the asset being sold from the proceeds received at the time of derecognition. The results are included in other operating income or in the corresponding expense line item. The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate at each financial year end.

Intangible Assets

Customer List

In connection with the initial acquisition of the cable business by the Company in March 2003, approximately €681.7 million of the purchase price was allocated to the customer list. Further additions

to the customer list that occurred during the twelve months ended March 31, 2008 and in the previous years are primarily related to the acquisition of Level 4 companies and subscribers. The weighted remaining useful life of the customer list is 3.92 years, 4.61 years and 5.55 years as of March 31, 2008, March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006, respectively.

Other Intangible Assets

Intangible assets which are purchased separately are recorded at cost. Intangible assets that have been acquired as part of an acquisition of a business are capitalized at fair value if they can be reliably measured at the acquisition date.

Computer software is recorded at cost as an intangible asset.

The Company recognizes intangible assets developed internally (consisting of software used by the company) to the extent the criteria in IAS 38 "Intangible Assets" are met. Development costs for internally generated intangible assets are recognized at cost to the extent the Company can demonstrate the technical feasibility of completing the asset, how the asset will generate future economic benefit, the availability of resources to complete the asset and the ability to measure reliably the expenditure during the development. If the requirements for capitalization are not fulfilled, development costs are expensed as incurred.

The Company recognizes subscriber acquisition costs incurred to obtain new subscribers if the costs are directly attributable to obtaining specific contracts, are incremental, can be measured reliably and meet the definition and recognition criteria of an intangible asset in accordance with IAS 38. Subscriber acquisition costs incurred to obtain new contracts without an initial contract period (open-ended contracts) are expensed as incurred.

Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment loss.

Amortization of intangible assets

The estimated useful life of the customer list is based on the average number of terminations and the term of the average contract life of individual end users who generate significant contribution margins.

The amortization of other intangible assets with definite useful lives is based on the straight-line method over the assets' estimated useful lives. Amortization begins when the intangible asset is ready for use.

The Company recognizes subscriber acquisition costs incurred to obtain new subscribers. The Company amortizes these costs over the initial contract period except for contracts where there is past evidence regarding the expected customer relationship period.

The amortization expense is recognized in the statement of operations in the expense category consistent with the function of the intangible assets.

The useful lives are estimated as follows:

Customer list		8.5 years
Software and licenses		1 to 10 years
Subscriber Acquisition Costs		1 to 8.5 years

The appropriateness of the useful life for the customer list is validated on an annual basis.

Financial Instruments

Recognition and De-recognition of Financial Instruments

Financial assets and liabilities are recognized when the Company enters into a contractual relationship with the respective counterparty or issuer. A financial asset is derecognized when:

•: the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired;
•: the Company retains the right to receive cash flows from the asset but has assumed an obligation to pay those cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a "pass-through" arrangement; or
•: the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset and either (a) has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset but has transferred control of the asset.

A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires.

Where an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a de-recognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability, and the difference in the respective carrying amounts is recorded in the consolidated statement of operations.

Financial Assets

Financial assets in the scope of IAS 39 are classified as either financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments, or available-for-sale financial assets, as appropriate. When financial assets are initially recognized they are measured at fair value plus, in the case of investments not at fair value through profit or loss, directly attributable transaction costs. The Company determines the classification of its financial assets after initial recognition and, where allowed and appropriate, re-evaluates this designation at each financial year-end. All purchases and sales of financial assets in the ordinary course of business are recognized on the date on which control over the asset changes.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets classified as held for trading are included in the category "financial assets at fair value through profit or loss". Financial assets are held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of selling in the near term. Derivatives are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated and effective hedging instruments. Gains or losses on investments held for trading are recognized in the consolidated statement of operations.

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Such assets are carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Gains and losses are recognized in the consolidated statement of operations when the loans and receivables are extinguished or impaired as well as through the amortization process.

Available-for-sale financial assets

Available-for-sale financial assets are those non-derivative financial assets that are designated as available-for-sale or are not classified in any of the three preceding categories. After initial recognition available-for-sale financial assets are measured at fair value with gains or losses being recognized as a separate component of equity until the investment is sold or until the investment is determined to be impaired at which time the cumulative gain or loss previously reported in equity is included in the statement of operations.

Financial Liabilities

Financial liabilities (loans) are initially recognized at cost which corresponds to the fair value of the given consideration received net of issue costs associated with the financial liabilities. In subsequent periods, liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method with the exception of derivative financial instruments which are measured at their fair market value.

Derivative Financial Instruments

Derivative financial instruments are used exclusively for the purpose of hedging foreign currency and interest rate risks arising from financing activities. In accordance with IAS 39 "Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement", all derivative financial instruments are accounted for at fair value irrespective of the purpose or the intention for which they were incurred. Depending on whether it is a fair value hedge or a cash flow hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivative financial instruments for which hedge accounting is used are either reported in the statement of operations or in the statement of changes in equity under cash flow hedge reserve. In the case of a fair value hedge, the gains or losses from the measurement of derivative financial instruments at fair value and the gains or losses related to the underlying contracts are recognized in the consolidated statement of operations. In the case of changes in the fair value of cash flow hedges which are used to offset future cash flow risks arising from underlying transactions or planned transactions and which have proved to be 100% effective in accordance with IAS 39, unrealized gains and losses are initially recognized in equity as a cash flow hedge reserve.

If derivative financial instruments are not 100% effective, the difference between the fair value and the changes in fair value of the related underlying contract is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations. The portion of the change in fair value not covered by the underlying transaction is immediately recognized in the consolidated statement of operations. If hedge accounting cannot be used by the Company, the change in the fair value of derivative financial instruments is recorded in the consolidated statement of operations.

Equity Investments in Associates

Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method at the investor's share of equity pursuant to IAS 28 "Investments in Associates". The Company's share of income, reduced by distributions and amortization of write-ups in amortizable assets from purchase accounting is disclosed in the fixed asset register as a change in equity investments.

Trade and Other Receivables

Trade and other receivables are disclosed at their nominal amount less bad debt allowances for any amounts deemed uncollectible. In relation to trade receivables, a provision for impairment is made when there is objective evidence (such as the probability of insolvency or significant financial difficulties of the debtor) that the Company will not be able to collect all of the amounts due under the original terms of the invoice. The carrying amount of the receivable is reduced through use of an allowance account. Impaired debts are derecognized when they are assessed as uncollectible.

Impairment

The carrying amount of intangible assets and property and equipment is reviewed at every balance sheet date to determine whether there are any indications of impairment. If such indications exist or when annual impairment testing is required, the recoverable amount is estimated. Impairment is necessary when the carrying amount of an asset or the related cash-generating unit exceeds the recoverable amount. The corresponding impairment is expensed.

If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on loans and receivables carried at amortized cost has been incurred, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset's carrying amount and recoverable amount, i.e. the higher of the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the financial asset's original effective interest rate and fair value less cost to sell. The carrying amount of the receivable is reduced through use of an allowance account. Impaired debts are derecognized when they are assessed as uncollectible.

Determination of Recoverable Amount

The recoverable amount of an asset is the greater of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. Value in use is determined by discounting the estimated future cash flows to be derived from continuing use of the asset up until its ultimate disposal. The discount rate is based on a pre-tax interest rate that reflects current market assessments of the fair value of money and the risks specific to the asset.

For assets to which no cash flows can be directly attributed, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

Reversal of Impairment Loss

Impairment losses on assets are reversed when assumptions relating to the recoverable amount of the assets change. Impairment losses are only reversed up to the carrying amount of the asset which would have been recorded if the asset had been subject to standard depreciation without impairment.

Employee Benefits

Under the Company's pension plans, KDG provides employees post-employment benefits under a defined benefit plan. The benefits are unfunded.

The present value of future claims of participants is estimated using actuarial methods based on the amount of benefit earned for their service in the current and prior periods. The liabilities to be recognized in the consolidated balance sheet result from the present value of the defined benefit obligation adjusted for any actuarial gains or losses, and less any past service cost not yet recognized. The discount rate is determined by reference to the capital markets and takes into account the expected maturity of the obligation. KDG engaged qualified external actuaries to perform the necessary actuarial calculations. The obligation is determined using the projected unit credit method.

If the benefits of the pension plan improve, the share of those plan improvements relating to the employees' previous years of service will be recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the period in which the claims vest. If the claims have already vested, the prior service cost is expensed immediately.

In measuring the obligations arising from the defined benefit plans, actuarial gains and losses arising after April 1, 2003 are not recognized in the consolidated statement of operations until the cumulative outstanding amounts exceed a corridor of 10% (corridor approach) of the defined benefit obligation as of the measurement date. The portion of the amount exceeding the corridor is amortized

to the consolidated statement of operations over the remaining average service life of the employees entitled to pensions.

Other Provisions

Other provisions are recognized in the consolidated balance sheet pursuant to IAS 37 "Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets" when a legal or constructive obligation to a third party arises as a result of past events, an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and the anticipated amount of the provision can be reliably estimated. Non-current other provisions are stated at their discounted settlement value on the balance sheet date where the effect of the time value of money is material.

Revenue and Other Income

Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured. The different types of revenue are recognized as follows:

Installation and Network Connection

Revenue from the installation of the cable connection and the network connection is recognized when the services have been rendered, the costs incurred can be measured reliably and the Company is not obliged to provide any future network connection or installation services.

Rendering of Services

Revenue generated by the delivery of analog and digital pay products, internet and telephone services, as well as carriage fees and digital playout facility fees paid by television broadcasters, are recognized when services have been provided, the costs incurred can be measured reliably and the Company is not obliged to provide any future services. Prepayments are accounted for by deferring the received payments and amortizing them straight-line over the service period.

When free months are offered to customers in relation to a subscription, the Company recognizes the total amount of billable revenue in equal monthly installments over the term of the contract provided that the Company has the enforceable and contractual right to deliver the customer with the products after the promotional free month period. If free months are given without a contract at the beginning of a subscription period, the company does not recognize revenues during the free months as the customer's continuance is not assured.

Sale of Goods

Revenue for the sale of digital set-top boxes, cable modems, and other goods (Customer Premises Equipment—CPE) is recognized when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have passed to the buyer. Costs in connection with returns are accounted for by accruing the respective amount. If the Company acts as an agent, revenue is only recognized in the amount of the sales commissions.

Multiple Elements Arrangements

For bundled services in multiple element arrangements the Company recognizes revenue for each element on the basis of the relative fair value of each item in the transaction, if there is an evidence of fair value.

Share-Based Payments

The Company applies IFRS 2 "Share-Based Payment". Under IFRS 2, plans which result in share-based payment transactions have to be accounted for as cash-settled if the interest holder will receive a payment in cash upon settlement rather than the underlying equity instruments. Due to the terms of the different programs at KDG, it is highly likely that the general partner of Cayman Cable Holding L.P. (the Partnership) will exercise the existing repurchase option in most cases of the interest holders' termination of employment and settle in cash. Alternatively, employees leaving the Company may have the option to put their vested interests to Cayman for cash. In the case of a put or call, the employee is generally protected from decreases in fair value below their initial investment amount. For such cash-settled share-based payment transactions, IFRS 2 requires the entity to account for share-based payments to management as personnel expense and a corresponding increase in other liabilities. For interests in the Management Equity Participation Program I (MEP I) and in the Management Equity Participation Program IV (Indirect MEP IV), which are share acquisition programs the costs of cash-settled transactions are measured initially based on the notional amount paid.

For MEP II and III, as well as the MEP IV Option program and MEP V, which all are option programs, the costs of cash-settled transactions are measured initially at fair value at the grant date using the Black-Scholes model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted because it is typically not possible to reliably estimate the fair value of employee services received. This fair value is expensed over the period until vesting with recognition of a corresponding liability.

For all MEP programs the services received during the vesting periods and, therefore, the corresponding liabilities, are re-measured at each balance sheet date up to and including the settlement date with changes in fair value recognized in the consolidated statement of operations.

Taxes on Income

Current income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amounts are those that are enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

Except for those cases described below, deferred income tax is provided using the liability method on all temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes at the balance sheet date.

Deferred income tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences, except:

•: where the deferred income tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and
•: for temporary taxable differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures, where the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred income tax assets are recognized for all temporary deductible differences, carry-forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and the carry-forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilized:

•: except where the deferred income tax asset relating to the temporary deductible difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business

combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit or loss nor taxable profit or loss;

•: except that temporary deductible differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures, deferred tax assets are only recognized to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized.

The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilized.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.

Income taxes relating to items recognized directly in equity are recognized in equity and not in the statement of operations.

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.

Key Judgments and Estimation Uncertainty

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires judgments and estimations to be made which have an effect on the carrying amounts of recognized assets and liabilities, income and expenses and contingent liabilities. In some cases, the actual values may differ from the judgments and estimations. Changes are recognized in the consolidated statement of operations when better information is available.

Key Judgments

In the process of applying KDG's accounting policies, management has made the following judgments, apart from those involving estimations, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements.

Derivatives

The Company has entered into interest rate swaps, interest rate caps and currency swaps to hedge its risks resulting from exposure to changes in interest rates and foreign currency rates. All of these derivative instruments have been accounted for in accordance with IAS 39 at fair value irrespective of the purpose or the intention for which they were used. The currency swaps were classified as cash flow hedges.

Operating Leases for CPE

The Company offers products that contain signal delivery and the right to use hardware devices. The hardware devices are essential for the signal delivery to the customer. Since the fulfillment of these arrangements is dependent on the use of a specific asset and the arrangements convey a right to use the asset, the contracts contain a lease in accordance with IFRIC 4 (KDG as lessor).

Hardware devices are recognized as equipment in accordance with IAS 16 and amortized over the useful life of three years.

Operating Lease Cable Ducts

In certain cases KDG leases space in the cable ducts of Deutsche Telekom AG (DTAG) to house KDG's network cable. The Company has determined that it retains no significant risks and rewards of ownership of these cable ducts and, therefore, accounts for the leases as operating leases. See Item 10C Material Contracts.

Finance Lease Transponders

The Company has leased specific satellite transponders in order to transmit audio and video signals. The Company has determined that the rights to use specific transponders have been transferred and that the lease term of specific transponders covers the major part of the economic life of the transponders. Therefore, the Company has classified and accounted for the leases as finance leases according to IAS 17.

Estimation Uncertainty

The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the balance sheet date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.

Derivatives

The fair values of the derivative financial instruments as of the balance sheet date have been estimated at the net present values (discounted by market yield curves) of the future payments and using standard models (in the case of caps). The total fair values of the derivative financial instruments amounted to minus €116.3 million, minus €53.2 million and minus €26.5 million as of March 31, 2008, March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Share-Based Payments

As of March 31, 2006 and for periods prior to this, it was management's intention to settle MEP I using the formula price as stated in the respective limited partnership agreement. Effective April 19, 2006 and in connection with the 5th amendment to the limited partnership agreement, the controlling shareholders of Cayman Cable modified the settlement terms of MEP I interests in Cayman Cable Holding L.P to better reflect current market value conditions, changing the settlement formula from an EBITDA formula with fixed multiples to estimated fair value. The change in the fair price estimation resulted in an increase in personnel expenses in the amount of €36.8 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007.

Based on the 5th amendment to the limited partnership agreement, the fair value measurement for MEP IV interests is based on the same valuation methods as is used for MEP I.

The measurement of the fair value at grant date with respect to the MEP II and MEP III option plans as well as to the MEP IV Option Program and MEP V is based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The main parameters, the expected volatility of the values of the shares, the estimated term of the options and the risk free interest rate on grant date were estimated by the Company.

The Company recognized expenses with respect to all MEP plans in an amount of €23.0 million, €41.8 million and €19.2 million for the years ended March 31, 2008, March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006, respectively.

Internally Developed Software

The Company recognized intangible assets developed internally (consisting of software used by the Company) to the extent the criteria of IAS 38 were met. Development costs for internally generated intangible assets are recognized at cost to the extent the assets are economically usable and the costs can be reliably measured. For the years ended March 31, 2008, March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006, respectively, approximately €2.5 million, €1.0 million and €3.0 million of costs for internally developed software were capitalized.

Customer List

The customer list is primarily amortized on a straight-line basis over 8.5 years. The estimated useful life is based on the average number of terminations and the term of the average contract life. The book value of the customer list amounted to €317.8 million, €382.4 million and €460.5 million for the years ended March 31, 2008, March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006, respectively.

Provision for Pensions

With respect to the actuarial calculation of the provision for pensions, the Company estimated the future salary increases, future pension increases and the discount rate. As of March 31, 2008, March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006, the provision for pensions amounted to €29.1 million, €24.2 million and €19.8 million, respectively.

Asset Retirement Obligations

The amount of the accrual is based on an estimate of the costs expected for the demolition and restoration of the technical facilities. Expectations regarding the lessor waiving asset retirement performance requirements are factored into the calculation of best estimate of the obligation related to the leased cable ducts under IFRS. Approximately 93% of KDG's obligations are related to technical equipment, including different kinds of cable and signal transmitting and receiving technology in cable ducts of DTAG. KDG assumes that 30% of the technical equipment will be replaced by other technologies after 15 years. The remaining 70% of the technical equipment is expected to be restored after 30 years. The remaining 7% of the asset retirement obligations are divided into accruals for furniture, fixtures and miscellaneous restoration obligations. The asset retirement obligations amounted to €20.7 million, €20.6 million and €20.0 million as of March 31, 2008, March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006, respectively.

Cable Access

Cable access is the primary basis for free and paid services offered by the Company, including TV and radio services and Internet & Phone services. In September 2007, the Company revised its strategy of requiring cable access as a basis for subscribing to Internet & Phone in order to reach customers not using cable television.

Our cable access business generates revenues through subscription fees, installation fees and other revenues. Through our cable television access business we generated €867.1 million or approximately 72.4% of our total revenues for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008.

•: Cable Access subscription fees paid for the access to our network and the delivery of analog and digital signals are generated from individuals, businesses and housing associations. Our current cable access offering consists of between 33 and 41 analog television channels (depending on the region served) and up to 36 analog radio channels. In April 2006, the Company discontinued the analog access product offering for single family homes and now offers a digital access product instead. This basic digital service is offered under the brand name "Digitaler Kabelanschluss". This product includes the digital programs offered by the public broadcasters and most of the commercial broadcasters in Germany. In total, up to 100 digital free-to-air (FTA) channels are now offered in the digital access product. The product has an enhanced electronic program guide (EPG) and access to a pay per view service. On March 1, 2007, the Company began to change the price on all access products delivered to single family homes to €16.90 per month. The new pricing is for both the analog and digital access services. In conjunction with the new price, the Company agreed to provide the set-top box to upgrade to digital access free of charge to the customer. The pricing initiative was implemented throughout the following twelve months and was fully implemented by the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008.
•: Installation and network connection fees and reimbursements. Generally, each first-time subscriber is charged an installation fee upon initial connection to our network. In addition, we generate fees and receive reimbursements for connecting newly built homes to our network.
•: Other revenues are revenues primarily generated from Level 4 services, e.g. maintenance service.

For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008 cable access subscription fees increased by €20.3 million or 2.4% to €854.1 million from €833.8 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007. The increase in revenue primarily results from a price increase implemented in March 2007. For new single family customers connecting to our network we offer a digital access product with a free set-top box. We will continue to increase the digital penetration in our cable households served.

For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008 installation fees increased by €0.6 million or 8.6% to €7.6 million from €7.0 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 primarily due to cost reimbursements received from housing associations for the upgrade of our two way capable network.

For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008 other revenues increased by €0.6 million or 12.5% to €5.4 million from €4.8 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007. This is related to the completion of a construction project where we acted as a subcontractor and built the Level 4 network for which we charged a housing association.

TV/Radio

In addition to the cable access subscription business described above, the Company offers its own pay TV product portfolio. The Company's pay TV packages are branded as Kabel Digital Home and Kabel Digital International. Kabel Digital Home offers 39 basic pay TV channels within seven genres (documentaries, movies and series, sports, entertainment, kids, music and erotic) primarily dedicated to a German speaking audience. Kabel Digital International comprises 43 foreign language Pay TV channels catering to the demand of Germany's ethnic populations. The Company sells its pay TV packages directly to consumers and, to a lesser extent, indirectly through certain Level 4 operators and an unaffiliated regional cable television operator. Under these agreements, the wholesale customer typically receives a discount to our listed retail subscription fee.

In addition to serving its own subscriber base, the Company's digital playout center also delivers digital video signals to unaffiliated regional cable television operators in Germany for distribution to the subscribers served by these operators. Among the operators that used the service previously, only

one remains from January 1, 2008. This operator is expected to discontinue the use of our digital playout services by the end of the calendar year 2008.

Our TV/Radio business generates revenue through subscription fees, carriage fees, fees for services in connection with our digital playout facility and customer premise equipment (CPE; e.g. receiver) sales.

•: Pay TV subscription fees and CPE sales. Homes connected to our network can receive the digital programming of the public broadcasters and the major private broadcasters free of charge if they are digital cable access subscribers and have a digital receiver (set-top box) and an activated smartcard. Customers can also subscribe to the Company's pay TV product portfolio containing Kabel Digital Home and Kabel Digital International as well as to a pay per view service. In addition, customers can subscribe to the Company's Digital Video Receiver (DVR) product, Kabel Digital+ containing an enhanced digital receiver with integrated hard disc drive as well as a more sophisticated EPG.
•: Analog carriage fees. In addition to providing basic cable television services to its subscribers, the Company charges more than 200 national, regional and local television broadcasters carriage fees for delivering their television signals over the Company's network. These carriage fees are typically based on the number of homes into which the signal is delivered. The Company also charges carriage fees for radio signals delivered via the network into subscriber homes.
•: Digital carriage fees are derived for the transmission of digital television programs on behalf of third party program providers. The Company also delivers the digital television programming offered by the public broadcasters, most of the large private free-to-air (FTA) broadcasters and the programs transmitted by an unaffiliated pay TV operator in Germany. In addition to receiving fixed carriage fees, the unaffiliated pay television operator pays the Company a variable fee based on the revenue generated from the subscribers receiving its pay television services via the cable network.
•: Playout facility fees. The Company operates a digital playout facility, which in addition to serving our subscriber base with digital pay TV packages, encrypts and distributes programming received from third party program providers via leased satellite transponders to our network and to the networks of one other regional cable television operator in Germany. This operator is expected to discontinue by the end of the calendar year 2008 as this unaffiliated regional cable TV operator has developed its own digital playout facility.

Pay TV subscription fees increased substantially by €14.3 million or 25.7% to €69.9 million in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008 from €55.6 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 primarily resulting from a rapidly growing subscriber base. We will continue to strengthen our pay TV products to achieve further growth in the pay TV segment.

Carriage fees increased by €0.4 million or 0.4% to €100.0 million in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008 from €99.6 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007. The future development of carriage fees will depend on the number of subscribers connected to our network. Until December 31, 2007 the Company paid a portion (approximately 38%) of certain revenues derived from digital carriage fees to the unaffiliated regional operators based on the number of subscribers served. KDG recorded €4.9 million of pass through revenue as cost of services rendered for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008 and €6.9 million in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007. These fees are now paid directly to the regional cable operators by the Pay TV operator.

Playout facility fees decreased by €0.9 million or 45.0% to €1.1 million in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008 from €2.0 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007. Revenues related to playout facility fees will continue to decrease and are expected to be completely eliminated by the end of the year 2008.

Other digital revenues increased by €3.0 million or 51.7% to €8.8 million in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008 from €5.8 million in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007. This increase is primarily related to Kabel Digital+ revenues and is expected to continue in the future.

The total blended TV/Radio ARPU decreased by €0.16 or 2.1% to €7.55 in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008 compared to €7.71 in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007. In general the ARPU has decreased due to the introduction of Kabel Digital+, which is generally offered 3 months free of charge.

Internet & Phone

The Company can offer Internet & Phone services to those homes which are passed by its upgraded bi-directional network (630 MHz) and where we have the ability to market our products (Marketable Homes). As of March 31, 2008, the Company passed approximately 10.9 million homes with an upgraded network which had return path capability to enable two-way communication. The Company offers Internet and Phone products independently; however, most customers subscribe to bundled offerings of Internet & Phone. Prior to September 2007, the Internet & Phone product was only offered to customers who subscribed to cable television access; since then we also offer Internet & Phone to non-cable television access subscribers. As of March 31, 2008, the Company served approximately 421 thousand subscribers which generated approximately 393 thousand Internet and 361 thousand Phone RGUs.

Revenues for Internet & Phone include recurring revenue from monthly subscription fees and non-recurring revenue from installation fees and the sale of CPE.

In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, subscription fees increased substantially by €60.6 million or 109.8% to €115.8 million from €55.2 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007. This increase was primarily due to the doubling of Internet & Phone RGUs.

In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, installation fees and other non-recurring revenues increased by €4.3 million or 307.1% to €5.6 million from €1.3 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007. This increase is related to an installation fee which was introduced in April 2007 by the company for all Internet & Phone products. Installation fees will continue to be a source of revenue.

The Internet & Phone ARPU decreased by €2.42 or 11.2% to €19.11 in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008 from €21.53 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 which was primarily driven by the decrease in price in order to be more competitive in the fast growing Internet & Phone market. Another reason is the increasing percentage of subscribers taking bundled products which are generally offered at a discount price compared to prices for the stand-alone products.

Going forward, the Company expects Internet & Phone ARPU to stabilize over time as the market matures.

TKS—Telepost Kabel-Service Kaiserslautern GmbH & Co. KG

TKS revenues increased by €0.5 million or 1.8% to €28.6 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008 from €28.1 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007. The increase is primarily related to higher revenues from Mobile Phone Services and the new TKS bundle product "surf'n talk" which was introduced in November 2007. Partly offsetting this positive impact was a decrease in revenues from billing services related to a reduction of military personnel based in Germany and a decrease in sale of merchandise.

Due to the upgrade and roll out of our two way capable network in the state of Bavaria and Lower Saxony the Company entered into agreements to lease a fibre backbone covering the region. The Company was partly able to offset the increased cost of this backbone through unit price reductions related to other service level agreements.

⁽¹⁷⁾: To be able to compare the SLA expenses for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2007 and 2008 the figure for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 has been reclassified.

Costs for installation of modems decreased by €4.2 million or 95.5% to €0.2 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008 from €4.4 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 due to the full impact of the capitalization of these costs which had started in November 2006.

The increase primarily results from an increase of the maintenance costs and cost of materials from upgraded networks and substantial growth in our Internet & Phone product offerings.

Personnel expenses include wages, salaries, social security and pension costs related to the technical staff as well as expenses for the restructuring of the technical departments and non-cash expenses related to the Management Equity Participation program.

⁽¹⁸⁾: Thereof €1.1 million non-cash expenses are adjusted in terms of EBITDA.

Depreciation and amortization expenses primarily include the depreciation of the network, capitalized leased transponders and the digital platform. In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, depreciation and amortization expenses increased by €21.6 million or 16.2% to €154.7 million from €133.1 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 primarily due to substantial investments made to upgrade the network for two way capacity.

This decrease primarily results from the abolition of the fees paid to the "Bayerische Medienanstalt" due to a change in law which took effect on January 1, 2008 and decreased consulting expenses as the consulting process for restructuring measures was completed.

Excluding the impact of non-cash amortization and depreciation and the MEP, total cash expenses included in cost of services rendered decreased by €0.7 million or 0.2% to €433.0 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008 from €433.7 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007.

For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 cable access subscription fees increased by €4.7 million or 0.6% to €833.8 million from €829.1 million in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006 which primarily resulted from the introduction of the new product "Digitaler Kabelanschluss" with a higher price for our new customers in April 2006 and, to a lesser extent, a price increase for our existing customers in March 2007.

The primary factor responsible for the increase of installation fees by €1.3 million or 22.8% to €7.0 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 from €5.7 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006 relates to higher installation fees for the new product "Digitaler Kabelanschluss" implemented in April 2006.

The Company paid a portion (approximately 38%) of certain revenues from digital carriage fees to the unaffiliated regional operators based on the number of subscribers served. KDG recorded €6.9 million and €9.8 million pass through as cost of services rendered in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006, respectively.

In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, pay TV subscription fees increased substantially by €27.9 million or 100.7% to €55.6 million compared to €27.7 million in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006 resulting from a rapidly growing subscriber base.

Fees received for the utilization of our playout facility decreased by €1.4 million or 41.2% to €2.0 million in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 from €3.4 million in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006. This was due to regional cable TV operators starting to operate their own digital playout facilities and discontinuing the service provided by the Company.

The primary factor for the decline of revenues from CPE sold by €4.3 million or 79.6% to €1.1 million in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 from €5.4 million in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006 was related to aggressive product offers at a higher ARPU but with a free set top box included.

The average ARPU increased by €0.74 or 10.6% to €7.71 in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 from €6.97 in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006. This was primarily based on a price increase on certain pay TV products in June 2006.

Depreciation and amortization increased by €2.3 million or 15.1% to €17.5 million in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 from €15.2 million in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006 primarily due to the amortization related to the Company's customer care and billing system and other IT-applications.

B. Liquidity and Capital Resources

COVENANTS

The Senior Credit Facilities and the indenture governing the Senior Notes contain covenants significantly restricting our ability to, among other things:

•: incur or guarantee additional indebtedness;
•: pay dividends or make other distributions or repurchase or redeem our stock;
•: make investments or other restricted payments;
•: dispose of assets;
•: create liens;
•: enter into certain transactions with affiliates;
•: enter into agreements that restrict our subsidiaries' ability to pay dividends; and
•: consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of our assets.

These covenants could limit our ability to finance our future operations and capital needs and our ability to pursue acquisitions and other business activities that may be in our interest.

The Senior Credit Facility is subject to several affirmative and negative covenants including, but not limited to, the following range over time:

Test		Requirement
EBITDA to Net Interest		1.75 x–3.00 x
Senior Net Debt to EBITDA		4.00 x–2.00 x

As of March 31, 2008 the ratio of EBITDA to Net Interest amounted to 2.81. The ratio of Senior Net Debt to EBITDA amounted to 2.61.

Our ability to meet these financial ratios and tests may be affected by events beyond our control and, as a result, we cannot ensure that we will be able to meet these ratios and tests. In the event of a default under the Senior Credit Facilities or certain other defaults under other agreements, the lenders could terminate their commitments and declare all amounts owed to them to be due and payable. Borrowings under other debt instruments that contain cross-default or cross-acceleration provisions, including the Senior Notes, may, as a result, also be accelerated and become due and payable. We may be unable to pay these debts in such circumstances.

The 2014 Senior Notes are subject to several affirmative and negative covenants which are generally less strict than under the Senior Credit Facility. The 2014 Senior Notes contain covenants including but not limited to limitations on indebtedness, limitations on asset disposals, limitations on distributions and reporting requirements. Each of the covenants is subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications.

Our principal source of liquidity on an ongoing basis is our operating cash flow. Our ability to generate cash depends on our future operating performance, which in turn depends to some extent on general economic, financial, industry, regulatory and other factors, many of which are beyond our control, as well as the other factors discussed in ITEM 3D "Risk Factors." In particular, our new emphasis on pay TV and Internet & Phone services could lead to increased volatility in our cash flows.

For our strategy of investing in digital cable television and Internet & Phone services, we will need to devote considerable resources to our development, distribution and marketing efforts. As a result, our principal uses of cash will be for incremental operational expenditures, to fund the development, marketing and distribution of the new products, capital expenditures for upgrading for bi-directionality of our network, as well as to fund working capital and our interest bearing debt service.

On July 19, 2007, KDG increased its €200.0 million Revolving Credit Facility by €125 million to €325 million.

On October 30, 2007 KDG secured a Tranche C under the Senior Credit Facilities in the amount of €650 million for an acquisition of Level 4 assets from Orion Cable announced on September 20, 2007. As per March 31, 2008, the transaction was still waiting final approval from the FCO and the €650 million Tranche C was undrawn. On closing of the transaction on April 30, 2008, the Tranche C was drawn in the amount of €535 million and the remaining €115 million cancelled on May 9, 2008.

For further information on the balance of borrowings and maturity please refer to ITEM 17.

In addition to our operating cash flows and cash on our balance sheet, we will have access to credit under the working capital facility under the Tranche B (see above, subject to certain conditions). In our opinion, our working capital is sufficient for our present requirements.

Although we believe that our expected cash flows from operations, together with headroom under the revolver, will be adequate to meet our anticipated liquidity and debt service needs, we cannot be certain that our business will generate sufficient cash flows from operations or that future debt and equity financing will be available in an amount sufficient to enable KDG to pay debts on maturity, including the Senior Notes, or to fund the digital cable television rollout, our network upgrade, or our other liquidity needs. See ITEM 3D "Risks relating to our indebtedness and our structure".

Cash flow for the Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2008 compared to the Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2007

As of March 31, 2008 our cash balance amounted to €15.5 million and we had €259.0 million of credit available under our revolver.

Cash flow from Operating Activities

Our cash flow provided from operating activities in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008 increased by €84.7 million or 23.5% to €444.7 million from €360.0 million in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007. This increase was driven by a significant lower net loss as a result of the revenue growth of 9.5% compared to the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 and the containment of costs and expenses. The increase of the Company's revenues is mainly caused by higher Internet & Phone revenues. The increase of the cash flow provided from operating activities is also affected by an increase of trade payables.

In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 our cash flow provided from operating activities decreased by €39.3 million or 9.8% to €360.0 million from €399.3 million in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006. The decrease of the cash flow provided from operating activities was mainly caused by an increase of

net loss as a result of higher cost of services rendered, selling expenses as well as general and administrative expenses based on the accelerated roll-out of its Internet & Phone services.

Net Cash used in Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities increased by €69.0 million or 25.0% to €345.4 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008 from €276.4 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007. The increase was primarily related to increased investments in our network to pass additional homes with two way capability and increased sales and installation of premium services.

In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, net cash used in investing activities increased by €128.3 million or 86.5% to €276.4 million from €148.1 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006.

Net cash used in Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities amounted to €137.9 million in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008. Included in the cash flow from financing activities are proceeds of €391.0 million from Tranche B and repayments of €331.0 million. €177.1 million was used to pay interest and transaction costs.

Net cash used in financing activities amounted to €254.9 million in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007. Included was the repayment of €75.8 million of our senior credit facilities in relation to the refinancing in May 2006.

This new Senior Credit Facility is now comprised of three tranches. As of May 12, 2006, the Senior Credit Facility was comprised of two tranches; a €1,150.0 million Term Loan Facility (Tranche A) and a €200.0 million Revolving Credit Facility (Tranche B), which was increased to €325.0 million on July 19, 2007. Tranche A and Tranche B mature on September 30, 2012. On October 30, 2007, we secured a third Tranche C under the Senior Credit Facility. The original amount available under Tranche C was €650.0 million, which was reduced by €115.0 million to €535.0 million on May 9, 2008. The final maturity date of Tranche C is March 31, 2013.

KDG is highly leveraged and has significant debt service obligations. We believe that the funds generated from operations, together with existing cash and equivalents and revolving credit facility availability will be sufficient to meet operating and debt service requirements. We regularly assess our investment management approach in view of our current and potential future needs.

Our ability to make payments on and to refinance our debt, and to fund future operations and capital expenditures, will depend on our future operating performance and ability to generate sufficient cash. This depends, to some extent, on many general economic, financial and market factors, many of which are beyond our control, as well as on other factors discussed in ITEM 3D "Risk Factors". Considering those factors, we cannot assure that our business will generate sufficient cash flows from operations or that future debt and equity financing will be available to us in an amount sufficient to enable us to pay our debts when due, or to fund our other liquidity needs.

Capital Expenditures

In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, capital expenditures amounted to approximately €353.4 million. Of this amount the Company used approximately €175.4 million for the upgrade of the network for internet & phone services.

Capital expenditures related to IT systems, licenses, software and intangible assets amounted to €63.0 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008.

Included in the capital expenditures are network acquisitions in the amount of €29.9 million. Thereof €20.9 million were allocated to customer list and €9.0 million to fixed assets. Financial assets in the amount of €4.6 million were related to the Orion acquisition, which is also mentioned in the Subsequent Events section.

During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, KDG entered into a contract for the lease of an additional transponder. Therefore an amount of €2.4 million was capitalized and will be depreciated over the lease term.

C. Research and Development, Patents and Licenses, etc.

The Company has not undertaken any significant research or development over the past three years. Therefore, there were no significant amounts spent on company-sponsored research and development activities during each of the fiscal years ended March 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008.

D. Trend Information

See ITEM 5A Operating Results and 5 B Liquidity and Capital Resources.

E. Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

There are no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that are likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditure or capital resources.

Purchase Obligations

On September 17 and 18, 2007 Kabel Deutschland signed a purchase agreement with Orion to acquire approximately 1.2 million cable television subscribers. The closing occurred with effect from April 30, 2008. The scope of the transaction was reduced to approximately 1.1 million cable television subscribers and the purchase price was reduced from approximately €585.0 million to approximately €500.0 million. Please note that the purchase price of the various transactions is based on financial information which is currently being prepared. Therefore, neither assets and liabilities nor contingent liabilities of the acquired entities can be presented at this point in time. As a result, it is impracticable to disclose the purchase price.

Important factors that could cause those differences include, but are not limited to:

•: our ability to control customer churn;
•: our ability to retain Level 4 operators and large housing associations as customers and attract new customers;

As of March 31, 2008, approximately 15% of our workforce were civil servants and still had the right to cease working for us and return to work for DTAG or its affiliates. An additional approximately 18% of our workforce had the right to return to DTAG or its affiliates until the end of 2008. However, this right can be exercised only under certain circumstances such as corporate restructurings, reorganizations or insolvency.

Approximately 22% of our employees are members of a labor union. Historically, we have enjoyed good labor relationships and we are committed to maintaining these relationships. We take a constructive approach to union relationships and have been able to secure the cooperation of the unions and our workforce with regard to significant changes and the process of continuous improvements. We have negotiated various collective bargaining agreements directly with the labor union. These collective bargaining agreements cover the general labor conditions of our employees (other than executives), such as working hours, holidays, termination, provisions and general payment schemes for wages.

In February 2007, we entered into a new 15-month collective bargaining agreement with the labor union representing our unionized employees. As a result, wages for employees increased by 2.5% from March 1, 2007. At the same time we signed a collective agreement with the labor union concerning a "collective severance plan" with defined rules in case of possible upcoming restructuring measures. For the Technical Operation unit we also negotiated several shop floor agreements to reduce work force, costs and modernize work conditions.

E. Share Ownership

On February 6, 2006, Providence Equity Partners, which has significant experience in investing in the telecommunications and media sectors and which had invested in the initial acquisition of KDG, completed the acquisition of the beneficial ownership interests in our parent company, Cayman Cable

103

Holding L.P., previously owned by Apax and GS Capital Partners as well as those of several minority investors. Following this acquisition, Providence and its co-investing party Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan Board now own approximately 96% of the entity that indirectly controls the Company, with the remainder owned by members of our management.

Our group structure

KDG's sole shareholder is Kabel Deutschland Holding GmbH which in turn is wholly owned by Cable Holding S.à.r.l., Luxembourg.

B. Related Party Transactions

Partnership Arrangements

The Limited Partners of Cayman Cable Holding L.P. (the Partnership) entered into an amended and restated exempted limited partnership agreement on February 8, 2006 following the Acquisition. This agreement (the "Partnership Agreement") sets out the terms of the investment of the Limited Partners in the Partnership. Under the Partnership Agreement the primary right to manage and control the affairs of the Partnership assets, including its investment in KDG, is vested in the general partner of the Partnership, Cayman Cable Holding G.P. Co. Limited, an entity wholly owned by Providence (the "GP"). The limited partners in the Partnership have no independent right to manage separately from the GP although they have certain very limited consent rights. In relation to the votes cast by the limited partners each holder of an LP Interest (being an Investor Common LP Interest or a Management Common LP Interest) has one vote for each LP Interest it is deemed to hold. No limited partners have a right to board seats on KDG or its subsidiaries.

Management Equity Programs

The Company has five Management Equity Programs (MEP I, MEP II, MEP III, MEP IV and MEP V) in place. MEP I provides interests in the Partnership, the parent company of KDG, MEP II and III provide options on interests in the Partnership. MEP IV provides indirect interests in the Partnership and options on indirect interests in the Partnership. MEP V provides options on interests in the Partnership if certain events take place. The interests and options on interests of certain members of our Management Equity Programs were purchased by Providence in connection with the Acquisition. There are no special voting rights for MEP I, MEP II, MEP III , MEP IV and MEP V.

MEP I

The management of KDG participates in the Partnership, in part directly, as limited partner of the Partnership (Direct MEP I) and in part indirectly, through interests in Kabel Management Beteiligungs-GbR, a separate partnership which is itself a limited partner in the Partnership (Indirect MEP I). The terms of both programs are substantially the same.

The members of both the Direct MEP I and the Indirect MEP I were required to pay a capital contribution upon admission. The Partnership and the Kabel Management Beteiligungs-GbR, respectively, have financed up to 70% of the managers' contributions with a loan from the Partnership. Interest accrues on such loans at a rate between 3.0% and 5.5% per annum, compounded annually, and is repayable in accordance with an amortization schedule in the relevant agreement. The managers are entitled to distributions. With distributions by the Partnership and Kabel Management Beteiligungs GbR to the Managers dated March 29 and November 19, 2004 (such distributions financed through the sale of shares in the subsidiary Cable Holding S.à.r.l.), the granted loans were settled. Put or call provisions apply to the managers' Management Common LP Interests in the event that such managers cease to be employed by KDG or its subsidiaries.

Owners of Management Common LP Interests may not transfer their interests in the Partnership. Providence has a "right of first refusal" with respect to any transfer of interests held by Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan Board. Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan Board also has the right to "tag" on any transfer of interests by Providence, apart from certain permitted transfers. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no transfers shall be valid or effective if the transfer would violate any applicable securities laws or it would cause the Partnership to lose any of its exemptions or favorable treatment under the

106

U.S. Federal income tax laws, ERISA or the U.S. Investment Company Act of 1940. Cayman Cable Holding G.P. Co. Ltd. may also decide to issue new partnership interests to new limited partners under certain circumstances.

MEP II and MEP III

MEP II and MEP III are option programs that differ from MEP I in the exercise price and grant date only. Under these programs the participants were granted options on interests in the Partnership.

MEP IV

Further management of KDG participate in the Partnership indirectly through interests in Kabel Management Beteiligungs (MEP IV) GbR, a separate partnership which is itself a limited partner in the Partnership (Indirect MEP IV). Options were also issued under MEP IV on interests in the Partnership. The terms of both the MEP IV option program and the indirect MEP IV program are substantially the same.

The members of the indirect MEP IV were required to pay a capital contribution upon admission. The Partnership and the Kabel Management Beteiligungs (MEP IV) GbR, respectively, have financed 80% of the managers' contributions with a loan from the Partnership. Interest accrues on such loans at a rate of 5.0% per annum, compounded annually. The managers are entitled to distributions. Put or call provisions apply to the managers' Management Common LP Interests in the event that such managers cease to be employed by KDG or its subsidiaries.

MEP V

MEP V is an option program that grants an option to purchase limited partnership interests (Management Common LP Interests) in the Partnership if Kabel Deutschland GmbH (or its parent entity) is listed or sold to a third party, therefore allowing the management to potentially benefit from any relevant listing or sale. The General Partner also has discretion to allow options to become exercisable on an earlier date where any transaction occurs which would materially affect the value of options. Any unused options expire ten years from the date of the grant of such options.

Grant date

The grant date determines the point in time at which the fair value of the services of the management is measured. The managers who are members of the Direct MEP I participate in Cayman Cable Holding L.P. with a deemed grant date of March 13, 2002. The managers who are members of the Indirect MEP I participate with a deemed grant date of November 27, 2002. For one limited partner in the Partnership the deemed grant date is September 7, 2003. For some of the additionally issued interests in 2006 the deemed grant date is April 2, 2005, for the rest the grant date is February 2, 2006. For the managers who are members of the MEP IV program, the grant date is March 29, 2007.

Certain Relationships and Related Party Transaction

The holders of preferred limited partnership interests (subsequently exchanged for Investor Common A LP Interests) were originally entitled to receive a preferred share of any distributions of the Partnership, up to an amount of €5,873.53 per Partnership interest, plus interest. Following a one-time distribution made by the Partnership in March 2004, the preferred distribution rights were satisfied in full. Following an amendment to the Partnership agreement on May 21, 2007 and a sub-division of the Investor Common LP Interests on that date, the Management Common LP Interests and the Investor Common LP Interests rank equally as to entitlement to distributions and voting rights.

107

Shareholder Loan

On March 29, 2004, KDG granted a loan of €150.0 million to its shareholder, Cable Holding S.à.r.l., and made a €118.4 million distribution to Cable Holding S.à.r.l. KDG has waived repayment of this loan (including accrued interest) and the loan has been terminated.

Management Equity Participation Programs

Part of the management of KDG, including two members of the supervisory board, participates in Cayman Cable Holding L.P. either by means of the equity participation program set out in the amended and restated exempted limited partnership agreement dated May 21, 2007 (Equity Participation Program), or by means of Kabel Management Beteiligungs-GbR and Kabel Management Beteiligungs (MEP IV) GbR, separate partnerships which are themselves limited partners in Cayman Cable Holding L.P. (Management Scheme). The terms of the programs are substantially the same. Most of the managers who are members of the Equity Participation Program participate in Cayman Cable Holdings L.P. with effect from March 13, 2003. The managers who are members of the Management scheme participate with effect from November 27, 2002 and March 29, 2007. The members of both programs were required to pay a capital contribution upon admission. Up to 80% of the managers' contributions were financed by a loan from Cayman Cable Holding L.P.

Financial Advisory Arrangements

Affiliates of Apax, GS Capital Partners and Providence acted as our financial advisors in connection with the formation of KDG in March 2003 and the refinancing of our bridge facility in October 2003, which has now been repaid. In connection with these consulting and advisory services, the three advisors each received fees amounting to approximately €8.3 million.

These advisors have also acted as advisors in connection with our refinancing in July 2004 and they advised us in connection with the failed acquisitions of ish, iesy and Kabel BW. In consideration for these services they received a total fee of approximately €6.1 million. In addition, we formerly paid an annual fee of €100 thousand to each of the three advisors to cover reasonable travel and other customary expenses. Following the Acquisition, the advisory arrangements with Apax and GS Capital Partners have been terminated. We will continue to pay an advisory fee to Providence and Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan Board. Providence and Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan Board may in the future provide additional services, for which they will receive customary fees in compliance with our financing documents.

Other Transactions

Prof. Dr. Heinz Riesenhuber obtained separate loans in the amounts of €70 thousand and €379 thousand with an interest rate of 5.5% p.a. from Cayman Cable Holding L.P. As of March 31, 2008, approximately €128 thousand remained outstanding including accrued interest.

Dr. Adrian v. Hammerstein obtained a loan with an interest rate of 5.0% p.a. in the amount of €1.2 million from Cayman Cable Holding L.P., accrued interest as of March 31, 2008 amounted to €51 thousand. Dr. Manual Cubero obtained a loan with an interest rate of 5.5% p.a. in the amount of €960 thousand from Cayman Cable Holding L.P., accrued interest as of March 31, 2008 amounted to €43 thousand. The principal amount of each of these loans is outstanding.

In April and May 2007 KDVS entered into loan agreements with Cayman Cable Holding. The first agreement of €1.0 million with an interest rate of 6.0% p.a. payable on February 1 of each year (or 11.0% p.a. on the overdue amount if the borrower fails to pay any amount), entered into on April 4, 2007 was fully drawn at the same date. The second agreement from May 21, 2007 provides for loans of up to €19.0 million with an interest rate of 6.0% p.a. payable on April 15 of each year (or 11.0% p.a.

108

on the overdue amount if the borrower fails to pay any amount) in total to be drawn in tranches based on request and subject to management and board approval. The first tranche of €8.0 million was drawn at inception, a second tranche of €1.5 million was drawn on May 25, 2007 and a third tranche of €2.0 million was drawn on December 18, 2007 totaling to €11.5 million on March 31, 2008.

Senior Credit Facility

On May 12, 2006, KDG entered into a new Senior Credit Facility. As from May 16, 2006, this agreement was comprised of two tranches, a €1,150.0 million Term Loan Facility and a €200.0 million Revolving Credit Facility. Tranche A and Tranche B mature on March 31, 2012. The Senior Credit Facility is secured by all the assets of Kabel Deutschland Vertrieb und Service GmbH & Co. KG ("KDVS") and a first pledge on 100% of the shares of KDVS which are owned and offered as security by Kabel Deutschland GmbH under its guarantee. The carrying amount of KDVS' shares amounts to €3.3 million. At closing Facility A was fully drawn and the proceeds (€1,150.0 million), along with available cash (€75.9 million) were used to repay and extinguish the existing bank facility.

On June 22, 2007 the amount of Tranche B was increased by €125.0 million to €325.0 million. Tranche B may be borrowed, repaid and re-borrowed up until one month prior to the final maturity date. Borrowings under Tranche B may be used for general corporate purposes. As of March 31, 2008, €60.0 million were borrowed under Tranche B.

On October 22, 2007, KDG entered into a Senior Add-on Facility accession agreement for a Tranche C in the amount of €650.0 million. The purpose of the facility was the funding of the acquisition of CATV assets from the Orion Group. On April 30, 2008, KDG drew €535.0 million under the facility to fund the acquisition. The remaining availability was cancelled. The final maturity date of Tranche C is March 31, 2013.

Interest rates on the Senior Credit Facility are based on one, two, three or six months EURIBOR plus a margin.

The margin on the Senior Credit Facility is based on the ratio of consolidated senior net borrowings to consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Senior Credit Facility agreement) as follows:

Ratio of Consolidated Total Net Borrowings to Consolidated EBITDA		Margin (percent. p.a.)
Greater than 4:1		2.00
Less than or equal to 4:1, but greater than 3.5:1		1.875
Less than or equal to 3.5:1		1.75

The margin on the Senior Credit Facility, Tranche C is 3.25%.

KDG pays an annual commitment fee of 0.625% on the undrawn commitment under Tranche B.

The Senior Credit Facility is subject to several affirmative and negative covenants including, but not limited to, the following range over time:

Test		Requirement
EBITDA to Net Interest		1.75x–3.00x
Senior Net Debt to EBITDA		4.00x–2.00x

110

Mandatory prepayments are required in case of (i) a change of control, public flotation or sale of the business, (ii) certain third party receipts, (iii) the sale of shares on the public market (if consolidated total senior net borrowings to consolidated EBITDA is greater than or equal 2:1).

At March 31, 2008, €1,150.0 million was outstanding under Tranche A at an interest rate of approximately 6.1% and €60.0 million was outstanding under Tranche B. On the same date, Tranche C of €650.0 million was undrawn. On April 30, 2008, KDG drew €535.0 million with the closing of the acquisition of assets from Orion Group. As of May 9, 2008 the granted loan amount of the Senior Add-on Facility was reduced by €115.0 million to €535.0 million. The Company entered into interest rate caps and swaps in order to mitigate the exposure to interest rate risks.

SLAs with DTAG

We have entered into various long-term Service Level Agreements with DTAG and certain of its affiliates that are significant to our business, in particular for the lease of cable duct space for approximately 13% of our cable network as well as the use of fiber optic transmission systems, tower and facility space. In addition, we purchase the electrical power required for the operation of our network through DTAG under such agreements. The various services offered by DTAG are defined under so-called "Term Sheets" that are part of the SLAs. Generally, the term of the SLAs is unlimited, but the Term Sheets are subject to certain termination rights and, according to German law, lease agreements are subject to a termination right of either party after a term of 30 years. We renegotiated with DTAG in January 2003 to reduce our payments under the SLAs. Our total operational expenditures under the SLAs for the year ended March 31, 2008, amounted to €161.0 million. We believe our payments under the SLAs, coupled with other contracted services with DTAG affiliates, make us one of the larger customers of DTAG.

111

The following chart provides an overview of the services covered by the SLAs:

SLA Term Sheet		Service	Duration	Approx. annual cost (based on 2007 figures)	Termination rights
1.	Co-use of cable ducts	Usage of cable ducts within DTAG's conduit system for existing broadband cable lines (13% of our coaxial cable is located in cable ducts leased from DTAG under this Term Sheet; the remainder is directly buried underground.	Unlimited	€102 million; possible increases based on actual cost, but subject to a cap at the German consumer price index ("CPI") rate until 2015.	We can terminate the Term Sheet upon 12 months' notice to the end of the calendar year. We can also partially terminate the Term Sheet upon 15 months' notice period to the end of a calendar month. DTAG cannot terminate the Term Sheet except for good cause (Wichtiger Grund). If DTAG ceases to use part of the conduit system it can terminate with a 12-month notice period. In such a case DTAG must offer us the conduits for sale; provided that such conduits are owned by DTAG. If conduits are replaced, DTAG must offer us space for our cable in the new conduits with the same conditions.
2.	Offer of co-use of further cable ducts	Non-binding offer to lease additional cable duct capacities in existing or newly built systems at pre-determined prices. The offer is subject to individual agreements for specific cable ducts.	Term of offer unlimited but offer can be terminated by DTAG upon 12 months' notice.	€1.7 million; possible increases based on actual cost, but subject to a cap at the German CPI rate until 2015.	Both parties can terminate the individual agreements that are based on the non-binding offer upon 3 years notice to the end of a calendar year, but not for a period of 10 years. The Term Sheet itself can be terminated as described in the duration column.
3.	Fiber optic transmission system	DTAG provides for the distribution of receiving certain analog and digital broadcasting signals via fiber optic transmission systems.	Unlimited	€3.6 million; possible increases based on actual cost, but subject to a cap at the German CPI rate until 2015.	We can terminate the Term Sheet upon 24 months' notice to the end of each calendar year or upon four weeks' notice if reliability of the system is below 99%. We can also terminate the Term Sheet with respect to individual locations. DTAG cannot terminate except for good cause. The systems can be shut down by DTAG only to a limited extent; for example, the analog systems can only be shut down at a rate of up to 3% of the systems per year and up to 15% over the first 15 years.
4.	Rental spaces for network equipment	Lease of space of DTAG's premises which are used for broadband equipment such as transmission equipment, satellite receivers, antennae and microwave equipment.	Unlimited	€4.6 million; (if the landlord is a third party, fees are those paid to that third party plus a margin of 5%), plus €5.2 million for rental of antenna space.	We can terminate the Term Sheet upon 24 months' notice period to the end of a calendar year. We can also terminate the Term Sheet with respect to certain locations upon 24 months' notice to the end of each calendar month. DTAG cannot terminate the Term Sheet except for good cause. DTAG can cease to operate the premises but only to a very limited extent and only upon a notice period of 24 months in most cases.
5.	Electrical power supply	Purchase of electrical power from DTAG required for the operation of our network equipment.	Unlimited	€19.1 million; equal to price paid by DTAG plus a margin of 5%.	The termination of the rental of network equipment automatically terminates the corresponding power supply; any separate termination of indoor power supply is prohibited. for outdoor power supply, we can terminate upon six months' notice to the end of a calendar month (also partially for individual locations upon six months notice period) and DTAG can terminate upon 12 months' notice to the end of a calendar month.
15.	Rental rooms for network equipment	Framework agreement for the lease of rooms which are used for broadband equipment such as transmission equipment, satellite receivers, antennae and microwave equipment.	Unlimited	€4 million.	The framework agreement can be terminated with a notice period of 24 month to the end of a year, at the earliest to the end of the year 2021. KDG and DTAG can terminate rental contracts based on the framework agreement with either 6 or 12 month prior notice at the earliest to end of the minimum contract term.

112

As DTAG has decided to gradually terminate the operation of its so-called OPAL fiber optic transmission system between December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2007, we will have to find alternative transmission capabilities if we wish to serve the affected subscribers in the future. However, we have taken precautions in the SLAs for a proper transition to any such alternative systems. We extended the contract for OPAL with the same financial conditions until December 31, 2010. As of December 31, 2005 we had approximately 130 thousand subscribers in the OPAL areas.

In 2004 we entered into two agreements with DTAG:

•: Under the "BRN-AMTV" agreement it was agreed to replace 254 of our point-to-point radio systems on A-mode TV base (AMTV-Richtfunk) by 254 optic broadband connection lines of DTAG. As a result, we have been able to terminate the lease for several transmission systems under Term Sheet 3, as well as to reduce our obligations under Term Sheet 5 (energy) of the SLAs. The implementation of this contract allowed us to reduce our operating expenses by a total of €13.0 million per year.
•: Under the "BRN 2.2d" agreement it was agreed to transfer the lease of the existing 436 analog broadband connection lines under Term Sheet 3 of the SLAs to corresponding leases under the "BRN 2.2d" agreement, reducing the prices at the same time by 10%. Further, this agreement provides for an option to upgrade the current analog broadband connection lines to optic broadband connection lines (optische BK VL) with up to 862 MHz with feedback channel. In this context, an agreement regarding the use of the relevant spaces for interactive services (Internet, voice and data services) under Term Sheet 4 of the SLAs was made.

In November 2007 we entered into the following agreements with DTAG:

•: The aforementioned contracts from 2004, "BRN-AMTV" and "BRN 2.2d" where replaced by a new contract that includes all connection lines of the contracts "BRN-AMTV" and "BRN 2.2d" and gives KDG a formal way to order further
connection lines. The average price per line could be reduced by about 20 percent. Lines can be canceled with a cancellation period of 24 months (for cancellations before 2013) or 12 months for cancellations in 2013 or later. The new contract has an annual volume of about €32.0 million.
•: In 2008 DTAG will deliver backbones to interconnect KDG?s cable pops in Bavaria und lower Saxony. The solution is a managed service using a technology called resilient packet ring (RPR). The contracts run from January 2, 2008 until June 13, 2022.

Other Supply Agreements

Transponder Capacity for Our Digital Television Platform

A key component of our digital television platform is the up-link and transponder capacity needed to transmit the digital signals from our playout facility in Frankfurt am Main/Rödelheim to our local head ends and the head ends of the other regional cable companies. We currently sublease these mainly from T-Systems, a subsidiary of DTAG, and, as of January 1, 2006, partly from SES ASTRA. The contract with T-Systems for seven transponders terminates in 2013. We also lease five transponders from SES ASTRA, which have a minimum term until 2012. As we develop additional digital products, additional transponder capacity may be required.

Conditional access system for digital television

Our digital free-to-air cable access offering (except for the public broadcasters' channels), our pay TV packages and the offering of an unaffiliated pay TV operator that is distributed over our network are only offered to the subscribers of these services based on a conditional access system. The conditional access system (consisting of certain head end functionalities in the digital playout system

113

and a smart card for each subscriber's CPE which is delivered to the customer upon request for digital free-to-air television or subscription to pay television services) is necessary to encrypt (on the network side) and to decrypt (on the subscriber side) digital television and radio content. This system allows operators to provide pay TV services and the respective billing on an individual subscriber basis. Once we activate the subscriber's smart card, the encrypted digital signal is decoded, decompressed and converted to an analog signal and can be viewed by the respective subscriber.

Cable set-top boxes

As part of our launch of our digital television services we entered into agreements with various producers of set-top boxes for the activation and presentation of Kabel Deutschland products as well as the use of the trademark "Kabel Digital". On February 1, 2005, we announced the implementation of a self-certification process for Kabel Digital set-top boxes. In order to be "Kabel Digital geeignet" (Kabel Digital ready), the producers have to self-certify that their boxes provide copyright protection (a requirement of the content providers), comply with parental control requirements required by law and are compatible with the specification of our conditional access system. The inclusion of other functions, like an electronic program guide, interactive TV interfaces or other software features are at the discretion of the producers. The self-certification should simplify and shorten the introduction of new cable set-top boxes and help to avoid shortages.

Call center framework agreements

In addition to our internal call center, we have assigned 8 external service providers with various call center activities based on framework agreements. The contracts with the service providers are basic agreements and have no defined volume per annum.

Delphi—Wizard/Infinys® Series 3 Rating and Billing (IRB)

The new application DELPHI is an enhancement of SMILE system with workforce—and trouble ticket functionality. We have a support and maintenance agreement with the vendor of an annual volume of €1.2 million. New developments and adoptions of the software are subject of still ongoing negotiations. The program is called Next Generation Billing System (NGBS) with new components for the account and receivables functionality (SAP- RMCA) and billing (IRB V4.0).

In December 2006 Kabel Deutschland started to offer webhosting and unified messaging services to its customers. Both services are outsourced to service providers. Currently about 232 thousand customers of Kabel Deutschland are using these services. It is planned to insource webhosting and unified messaging without an agreed deadline.

Telecommunication

All billing related to telephone and Internet services that Kabel Deutschland is offering to its customers was outsourced. In December 2006, Kabel Deutschland decided to insource these services. Therefore, the existing vendor contract was replaced by a transaction agreement which regulated the migration of telephone numbers and all services to Kabel Deutschland. This contract was amended in February 2008 to shorten the transition phase. In addition, Kabel Deutschland entered into various interconnection contracts with other network operators including the DTAG. By end of March 2008 about 99.5% of telephone numbers and services were migrated to Kabel Deutschland.

D. Exchange Controls

There are currently no legal restrictions in Germany on international capital movement and foreign-exchange transactions, except in limited embargo circumstances relating to certain areas, entities or persons as a result of applicable resolutions adopted by the United Nations and the European Union.

For statistical purposes, however, every individual or corporation residing in Germany must report to the German Federal Reserve Bank ("Deutsche Bundesbank") any payment received from or made to a non-resident corporation or individual if the payment exceeds €12.5 thousand (or the equivalent in a foreign currency). Additionally, corporations and individuals residing in Germany must report to the German Federal Reserve Bank any claims against or any liabilities payable to a non-resident corporation or individual exceeding an aggregate amount of €5.0 million (or the equivalent in a foreign currency) at the end of every calendar month.

E. Taxation

The following summary of certain German income tax considerations for holders of the Senior Notes (the "Noteholders") is based on the effective tax law at the date of this filing which may change, even with retroactive effect. The summary does not describe all tax considerations that may be relevant for an individual's decision to purchase and exchange Senior Notes. It is not a substitute for tax advice.

German Tax Considerations

Prospective purchasers and current holders of Senior Notes are advised to consult their own tax advisors for the tax consequences of the purchase, the exchange, the ownership and the disposition of Senior Notes, including the effect of any state or local taxes under the tax laws of the Federal Republic of Germany as well as in each other country of which they are residents.

The summary will also outline the amendments regarding the new tax regime of investment income and capital gains as it will come into effect from January 1, 2009.

Tax Residents (Tax treatment until December 31, 2008)

Interest payments

Interest paid to a Noteholder resident in Germany (a person whose residence, habitual abode, statutory seat, or place of effective management and control is located in Germany) is subject to German personal or corporate income tax. On the basis of the assessed personal or corporate income tax, solidarity surcharge ("Solidaritätszuschlag") of 5.5% is levied. In addition, if Senior Notes are held as assets of a German commercial business, any interest is subject to trade tax. Accrued interest ("Stückzinsen") paid by an individual upon the acquisition of Senior Notes may give rise to negative income and may, therefore, reduce a Noteholder's personal tax liability.

If Senior Notes are held in a custodial account which the Noteholder maintains with a bank or financial services institution in Germany, including branches of foreign banks or financial services institutions in Germany (the "Disbursing Agent"—"inländische auszahlende Stelle"), such Disbursing Agent will withhold tax ("Zinsabschlag") at a rate of 30% of the gross amount of all interest payments to the Noteholder plus 5.5% solidarity surcharge ("Solidaritätszuschlag") thereon. As a result, 31.65% of the gross amount of interest paid to a Noteholder will be withheld by the Disbursing Agent.

The tax withheld by the Disbursing Agent will be credited against the Noteholder's total annual tax burden for German personal or corporate income tax purposes.

The Issuer of the Senior Notes, unless it qualifies as Disbursing Agent, is not obliged under German law to withhold any withholding tax from the interest payments.

115

Sale or Redemption of Senior Notes

Senior Notes as private assets

If the Senior Notes are held as private assets, according to recent changes in the jurisprudence of the Federal Fiscal Court, gains and losses from the sale or redemption of financial innovations providing for a stated yield ("Emissionsrendite")—such as the Senior Notes—are taxable only as gains from private sales transactions. Therefore, gains from the sale or redemption of the Senior Notes—except for accrued interest ("Stückzinsen")—are taxable and losses are deductible only if the Senior Notes were held for not more than one year by the private investor. Gains from private sales transactions are fully taxable, provided that such gains—alone or together with other gains from private sales transactions—equal or exceed €600. Gains falling short of this threshold are tax exempt. Losses realized within the one year period described above, can only be set off against other gains from private sales transactions. To the extent such a set off is not possible in the calendar year in which the loss has been realized, such loss can be carried back one year or can be carried forward into future years without any limitation and—subject to certain restrictions—can be set off against gains from private sales transactions generated in other assessment periods. In case the Senior Notes are held for more than one year, gains from the sale or the redemption are not taxable provided that the Senior Notes are held as private assets. Conversely, any loss is also not recognized for tax purposes.

To the extent the Senior Notes are denominated in a currency other than Euro (USD), the gains from the sale or redemption (except for accrued interest) are computed as the excess of the proceeds from the sale or redemption expressed in Euro over the purchase price expressed in Euro where the Euro amounts are determined on the basis of the prevailing foreign exchange rate.

If Senior Notes are held in a custodial account maintained with a Disbursing Agent since the acquisition of the Senior Notes, tax is deducted at a rate of 30% (plus solidarity surcharge of 5.5% thereon) from the excess of the proceeds arising from the sale or redemption over the purchase price paid for the Senior Notes. If custody has changed since the acquisition of the Senior Notes, tax is withheld from the amount equal to 30% of the proceeds arising from the sale or redemption of the Senior Notes. In computing the tax to be withheld, the Disbursing Agent may deduct any accrued interest paid by the Noteholder to the Disbursing Agent during the calendar year of the taxable gain from the basis of assessment. The tax withheld will be credited against the Noteholder's annual tax liability for personal income tax purposes.

The Issuer of the Senior Notes, unless it qualifies as Disbursing Agent, is not obliged under German law to withhold any withholding tax from the sale or redemption proceeds.

Senior Notes as business assets

Gains from the sale or redemption of the Senior Notes are subject to income tax or corporate income tax as well as solidarity surcharge and trade tax if the Senior Notes are held as assets of a German commercial trade or business. Losses are fully deductible when realized.

The procedure of the withholding tax deduction on payments from the sale or redemption of the Senior Notes is similar to the procedure outlined above for private investors.

Any withholding tax withheld is credited against the Noteholder's personal or corporate income tax liability in the course of the tax assessment procedure. Any potential surplus for the benefit of the Noteholder will be paid out to the Noteholder.

The Issuer of the Senior Notes is not obliged to withhold any withholding tax from the proceeds from the sale or redemption of the Senior Notes under German law, unless it qualifies as Disbursing Agent.

116

Tax Residents (Tax treatment from January 1, 2009 onward)

The Business Tax Reform Act 2008 dated August 14, 2007 (BGBl. I 2007, p. 1912)—amongst others—changes the taxation of investment income for a German tax resident private investor significantly.

Interest Payments

Senior Notes as private assets

Current interest payments from the Senior Notes qualify as investment income pursuant to Sec. 20 para. 1 No. 7 EStG and are subject to tax at a rate of 25% (plus solidarity surcharge).

If the Senior Notes are held in custody with or administered by a German Disbursing Agent current interest payments are subject to a tax at a rate of 25% (plus solidarity surcharge) that is withheld by such institution. The list of entities qualifying as Disbursing Agent is enlarged by including securities trading companies or securities trading banks as of 1.1.2009 onward. The withholding tax is definitive (flat tax;Abgeltungsteuer) i.e. the withholding tax is satisfying the personal income tax of the Noteholder. Noteholders having a lower personal income tax rate may include the capital investment income in their personal income tax return to achieve a lower tax rate. Income not subject to a definitive withholding tax will be subject to a special tax rate of 25% (plus solidarity surcharge) upon assessment.

The Issuer of the Senior Notes is not obliged to withhold any withholding tax from the interest payments under German law, unless it qualifies as Disbursing Agent.

Senior Notes as business assets

If the Senior Notes are held as business assets any current interest payments from the Senior Notes qualify as business income and are subject to personal or corporate income tax plus solidarity surcharge. Further, such interest payments are recognized for trade tax purposes.

The procedure of the withholding tax deduction on interest payments is similar to the procedure outlined above for private Noteholders. Any withholding tax withheld is credited against the Noteholder's personal or corporate income tax liability in the course of the tax assessment procedure. Any potential surplus for the benefit of the Noteholder will be paid out to the Noteholder.

The Issuer of the Senior Notes is not obliged to withhold any withholding tax from the interest payments under German law, unless it qualifies as Disbursing Agent.

Sale or Redemption of Senior Notes

Senior Notes as private assets

Capital gains from the sale or redemption of the Senior Notes qualify as investment income pursuant to Sec. 20 para. 2 No. 7 EStG and are subject to personal income tax plus solidarity surcharge. Losses from the sale or redemption of the Senior Notes can only be off-set against other investment income. In the event that an off-set is not possible in the assessment period in which the losses have been realized, such losses can be carried forward into future assessment periods only and can be off-set against investment income generated in future assessment periods.

To the extent the Senior Notes are denominated in a currency other than Euro (USD), the gains and losses are computed as the excess of the proceeds from the Senior Note's sale or redemption expressed in Euro over the purchase price expressed in Euro where the Euro amounts are determined on the basis of the foreign exchange rate as of the acquisition date and the sale or redemption date respectively.

117

If the Senior Notes are held in custody with or administered by a German credit institution, financial services institution (including a German permanent establishment of such foreign institution), securities trading company or securities trading bank, a tax at a rate of 25% (plus solidarity surcharge thereon) is withheld by such institution upon sale or redemption of the Senior Notes. The withholding tax is imposed on the excess of the proceeds from the sale or redemption over the purchase price paid for the Senior Notes, if the Senior Notes were held in custody by such institution since their acquisition. If custody has changed since the acquisition and the acquisition data is not proved, the tax at a rate of 25% (plus solidarity surcharge) will be imposed on an amount equal to 30% of the proceeds from the sale or redemption of the Senior Notes. The withholding tax is definitive, i.e. the withholding tax is satisfying the personal income tax of the Noteholder. Noteholders having a lower personal income tax rate may include the capital investment income in their personal income tax return to achieve a lower tax rate. Income not subject to a definitive withholding tax (e.g. since there is no German custodian institution) will be subject to a special tax rate of 25% (plus solidarity surcharge) upon assessment.

The Issuer of the Senior Notes, unless it qualifies as Disbursing Agent, is not obliged under German law to withhold any withholding tax upon the sale or redemption of the Senior Notes.

Senior Notes as business assets

If the Senior Notes are held as business assets capital gains from the sale or redemption of the Senior Notes qualify as business income and are subject to personal or corporate income tax plus solidarity surcharge. Further, such gains and losses are recognized for trade tax purposes.

The procedure of the withholding tax deduction is similar to the procedure outlined above for private Noteholders. Any withholding tax withheld is credited against the Noteholder's personal income tax liability in the course of the tax assessment procedure. Any potential surplus for the benefit of the Noteholder will be paid out to the Noteholder. No withholding tax deduction applies where the Senior Notes are held by a corporation.

No withholding tax is to be deducted by the Issuer of the Senior Notes upon the sale or redemption of the Senior Notes, unless it qualifies as Disbursing Agent.

Transition Rules

The above flat tax regime applies (i) to Senior Notes acquired from January 1, 2009 onward, (ii) to interest income received from January 1, 2009 onward, (iii) to gains/losses from the sale or redemption of Senior Notes acquired prior to January 1, 2009 provided the gains/losses are generated from January 1, 2009 onward.

Non-residents

Interest paid to a Noteholder and capital gains realized by a Noteholder not resident in Germany will generally not be taxable in Germany and no tax will be withheld (even if the Senior Notes are kept with a Disbursing Agent). Exceptions apply, however, if (i) the Senior Notes are held as a business asset of a German permanent establishment or by a permanent representative of the non-resident Noteholder, if (ii) the interest income of such Senior Notes does otherwise constitute German source income (such as income from the letting and leasing of certain German situs property) or if (iii) the non-resident Noteholder does not comply with the procedural rules to prove his status as a non-tax resident. In these cases, the Noteholder not resident in Germany will be subject to a tax regime similar to that described above under "German Tax Considerations—Tax Residents."

118

Inheritance and gift tax

The receipt of Senior Notes in case of succession upon death, or by way of a gift among living persons is subject to German inheritance and/or gift tax, if the deceased, donor and/or the recipient is a German resident. German inheritance and gift tax is also triggered, if neither the deceased, the donor nor the recipient of the Senior Notes are German residents, if the Senior Notes are attributable to German business activities and if for such business activities a German permanent establishment is maintained or a permanent representative is appointed in Germany. In specific situations, German expatriates that were tax residents in Germany may be subject to inheritance and gift tax. Double taxation treaties may provide for exceptions to the domestic inheritance and gift tax regulations.

Other taxes

No stamp, issue, registration or similar direct or indirect taxes or duties will be payable in Germany in connection with the issuance, delivery or execution of the Senior Notes. Currently, net assets tax is not levied in Germany.

EU Directive on the Taxation of Savings Income

Directive 2003/48/EC of the Council of the European Union, relating to the taxation of savings income, became effective on July 1, 2005. Under this directive, if a paying agent for interest on a debt claim is resident in one member state of the European Union and an individual who is the beneficial owner of the interest is a resident of another member state, then the former member state will be required to provide information (including the identity of the recipient) to authorities of the latter member state. "Paying agent" is defined broadly for this purpose and generally includes any agent of either the payor or the payee. Belgium, Luxembourg and Austria have opted instead to withhold tax on the interest during a transitional period (initially at a rate of 15% but rising in steps to 35% after six years), subject to the ability of the individual to avoid withholding tax through voluntary disclosure of the investment to the individual's member state. In addition, certain non-members of the European Union (Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Andorra, Monaco and San Marino), as well as dependent and associated territories of the United Kingdom and the Netherlands, have adopted equivalent measures effective on the same date, and some (including Switzerland) have exercised the option to apply withholding taxes as described above.

ITEM 15T. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) are designed in a way that the information required to be disclosed in reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. We have, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the CEO and CFO (our principal executive and financial officers), performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Securities Exchange Act rule 15d-15(e)) as of March 31, 2008. Based on this evaluation, we concluded as of such date that, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by Kabel Deutschland GmbH in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms.

Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting and Attestation Report of Registered Public Accounting Firm

Our Management is also responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in rule 13a-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our chief executive and chief financial officer, and effected by our board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:

•: Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of our company;
•: Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of our company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and board of our company; and
•: Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our company's assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.

121

Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2008. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in the Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on our assessment, management concluded that, as of March 31, 2008 our internal control over financial reporting is effective based on those criteria.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit the company to provide only management's report in this annual report.

Change in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the period covered by this annual report on Form 20-F, there have been changes relating to material weaknesses identified in prior year in the areas of accounting for derivatives and the completeness of the flow of information related to the management equity participation program ("MEP"). Since these issues were identified the company has provided more training to those performing the controls operating for derivative accounting and implemented additional review procedures. For MEP the company redesigned the process to ensure the correct and complete communication of changes between the administrators of the program and the accounting department. As a result of the remediation actions, the material weaknesses did no longer exist as of March 31, 2008. There were no other changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect KDG's internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations

There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure and internal controls, including the possibilities of faulty judgments in decision-making, simple error or mistake, fraud, the circumvention of controls by individual acts or the collusion of two or more people, or management override of controls. Accordingly, even an effective disclosure and internal control system can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to disclosures and financial statement preparation. Furthermore, because of changes in conditions, the effectiveness of a disclosure and internal control system may vary over time.

ITEM 16A. AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT

One of the members of the Supervisory Board and the Audit Committee, Torsten Winkler, has an extensive knowledge of financial and economic matters. Prior to joining Providence Mr. Winkler worked for Morgan Stanley Dean Witter in Corporate Finance and Mergers & Acquisitions, where he focused on telecommunication and technology industries. Nevertheless, he currently does not meet all criteria to be qualified as an Audit Committee financial expert, as defined in the Corporate Governance Code. Therefore no Audit Committee financial expert has been currently designated.

ITEM 16B. CODE OF ETHICS

The Company has adopted a Code of Ethics ("Code") that applies to the Company and its officers in order to promote honesty, integrity, transparency and ethical conduct in our officers' performance of their management responsibilities. For a full version, please refer to Exhibit 11 of this report. Please note that we amended our Code during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, effective as of February 2008, in order to clarify the group of people to whom the Code applies. Accordingly, the Code now specifies that the officers covered by the Code include the managing directors (including the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer), the director of finance and any other directors directly

122

reporting to the managing directors. Also, the Code now specifies that all conflicts or potential conflicts of interest should immediately be reported to the supervisory board and/or, in addition, the advisory board. No further changes were made to the Code. Please also refer to the information provided in our previous annual report in Form 20-F for further details on our Code.

1. General

Kabel Deutschland GmbH (KDG GmbH) was founded on December 17, 2002. KDG GmbH's registered office is in Unterföhring, Betastraße 6-8 (commercial register of Munich HRB 145837), Germany. On December 2, 2004, Cable Holding S.à.r.l. (LuxCo) contributed its 100% interest in KDG GmbH to its wholly-owned subsidiary Kabel Deutschland Holding GmbH (KDG HoldCo, formerly Kabel Deutschland Holding GmbH & Co. KG), founded on November 29, 2004, commercial register Munich HRB 155690, in exchange for an increase in its shareholders' equity in KDG HoldCo valued at a total of T€1,133,098 and a note receivable from KDG HoldCo in an amount of T€382,400. On January 19, 2005, KDG HoldCo was converted into a limited liability company (Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung - -GmbH-) effective as of January 1, 2005. LuxCo is wholly-owned by Cayman Cable Holding LP, George Town, Cayman Islands (Cayman Cable) which is owned by Providence Equity Partners, London, United Kingdom, the ultimate parent. KDG GmbH and its subsidiaries (KDG or the Company) is the market leader in the German cable television business in terms of homes passed, subscribers and revenues. The Company primarily provides cable access connections, offering up to 41 analog TV channels and up to 36 VHF radio stations. Furthermore, KDG delivers digital television signals through its digital playout center. KDG carries and offers its own digital pay program packages, packages of an unaffiliated German pay television operator, and the digital programs offered by the public and private broadcasters. The Company also offers internet and telephony services to its customers.

1.1 Acknowledgement

The consolidated financial statements of KDG GmbH for the three years ended March 31, 2008, have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). The consolidated financial statement also comply with the regulations under German Commercial Law pursuant to Sec. 315a (3) German Commercial Code. All IFRSs issued by the IASB, effective at the time of preparing the consolidated financial statements and applied by KDG GmbH, have been adopted for use in the European Union (EU) by the European Commission. Therefore the consolidated financial statements also comply with IFRS as adopted by the EU.

1.2 Basis of Presentation

The Company's fiscal year is the twelve month period ending March 31.

The consolidated financial statements and notes are presented in Euros and all values are rounded to nearest thousand (T€) except where otherwise stated. The Company's financial statements have been prepared using consistent accounting and consolidation methods for all periods presented. The Company's statement of operations has been prepared using the cost of sales method under IFRS. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for derivative financial instruments and liabilities related to its Management Equity Participation Program that have been measured at fair value.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards 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. Although these estimates are based on management's best knowledge of current events and actions, actual results ultimately may differ from those estimates.

F-10

Recognition and Measurement—Assessing hedge effectiveness of an interest rate swap in a cash flow hedge" the Company has reconsidered its accounting treatment applied to those transactions and decided to adopt the treatment set out in the IFRIC agenda decision. Accordingly, the Company had adjusted its financial statements as of March 31, 2007 and comparative periods to reflect the fact that hedge accounting has no longer been historically applied and has, therefore, recorded all changes in fair value of the interest rate swap through profit and loss. This change in accounting treatment has been accounted for retroactively. This adjustment resulted in a decrease in other comprehensive income of T€8,320, a decrease in interest expense of T€13,682 and an increase in deferred tax expense of T€5,362 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006.

With respect to changes in estimates regarding asset retirement obligations, refer to note 4.7 and 4.13.

1.3 Consolidation

1.3.1 Scope of Consolidation

In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, the Company acquired Leto GmbH. As of May 9, 2007, Schramm Elektro und Antennen GmbH and as of July 10, 2007, HOT-Kabelservice Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung (both were Level 4 operators) were merged with Kabel Deutschland Vertrieb und Service GmbH & Co. KG. KDG's consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2008 are comprised of KDG GmbH and six consolidated subsidiaries (fiscal year ended March 31, 2007: seven consolidated subsidiaries; fiscal year ended March 31, 2006: six consolidated subsidiaries). Investments are consolidated if KDG GmbH directly or indirectly owns more than 50% of the outstanding voting rights of an entity and if the investments are under the control of KDG GmbH as defined by IAS 27 "Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements".

1.3.2 Changes in the Consolidation Group and Acquisitions

Share Acquisition

The accounting for business combinations in the KDG consolidated financial statements is performed according to IFRS 3 "Business Combinations" by allocating the cost of a business combination to the acquiree's identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities at their fair value at the time of the acquisition. Any difference between the cost and the fair value is goodwill or badwill.

As of March 1, 2008, the Company acquired 100% of the shares of Leto GmbH, an unlisted company based in Berlin, Germany, specialized in supplying multimedia for the housing industries, especially the provision and management of cable access for subscribers of Level 4 operators.

F-11

The fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of Leto GmbH as at the date of acquisition and the corresponding carrying amounts immediately before the acquisition were:

	Fair value recognised on acquisition		Previous carrying value
	T€		T€
Customer List	5,094		4,418
Property and equipment	4,342		4,342
Cash and Cash equivalents	10		10
Trade receivables	22		22
Other current assets	79		79
Deferred expenses	4		4

	9,551		8,875

Liabilities to Affiliates	(9	)	(9	)
Other provision	(34	)	(34	)
Deferred income tax liabilites	(202	)	0

	(245	)	(43	)

Net assets	9,306		8,832

Total consideration (in cash)	9,306

From the date of acquisition, Leto GmbH had a positive impact in terms of revenue of T€190 and of T€12 to the net profit/loss of the Company. If the combination had taken place at the beginning of the year, the net loss for the Company would have been T€33,902 and revenue from continuing operations would have been T€1,199,350.

With regard to business combinations that were effected after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are authorized for issue the Company refers to Section 5.7.

Asset Acquisitions

In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, the Company acquired approximately 63,610 subscribers and the major part of the associated technical CATV Level 4 network infrastructure from RKS Süd-West GmbH for total aggregate consideration of approximately T€20,270. The aggregate purchase price of the transactions resulted in an increase in customer list of T€15,653 and an increase of technical equipment of T€4,617.

The Company acquired an additional 599 subscribers from several small Level 4 companies for total aggregate consideration of approximately T€192. The aggregate purchase price of the transactions resulted in an increase in customer list of T€189 and an increase of technical equipment of T€3.

Asset acquisitions did not include the assumption of any liabilities or other financial obligations.

1.3.3 Basis of Consolidation

Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealized gains on transactions between KDG GmbH and its subsidiaries are eliminated in consolidation. The accounting policies of the consolidated subsidiaries are consistent with the policies adopted by KDG GmbH. Acquisitions are accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.

Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date of acquisition, being the date on which the Group obtains control, and continue to be consolidated until the date that such control ceases.

F-12

Companies in which KDG GmbH has significant influence over the business and the financial policies as defined by IAS 28 "Investments in Associates" are recorded in the consolidated financial statements using the equity method. Intercompany profits and losses of associated companies are eliminated in consolidation in relation to their shareholding ratio.

1.4 Currency Translation

The functional and reporting currency of KDG is the Euro.

Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies existing as of the balance sheet date which are to be carried at fair value were converted to Euros at the rate as of the balance sheet date. The Company used the following exchange rates (spot rates):

		March 31, 2008		March 31, 2007		March 31, 2006
1€		US$ 1.5812		US$ 1.3318		US$ 1.2104
1€		GBP 0.7958		GBP 0.6798		GBP 0.6964

2. Accounting and Valuation Methods

2.1 Property and Equipment

2.1.1 Property and Equipment

2.1.2 Leases

Operating lease

Operating lease for Customer Premises Equipment (CPE)

To get connection to Internet & Phone services as well as to receive digital TV, the Company leases the necessary equipment to the customers. These leases for which the Company is the lessor, are classified as an operating lease. Therefore, the Company capitalizes the CPE as fixed assets based on acquisition cost and the cost of removing the asset at the end of the lease. Over the useful life of 3 years, the assets are depreciated using the straight-line method.

F-13

Finance lease

2.1.3 Subsequent Expenses

2.1.4 Depreciation of Fixed Assets

Depreciation is calculated based on the straight-line method over each asset's estimated useful life as follows:

Buildings and leasehold improvements		3 to 25 years
Technical equipment and machines		3 to 20 years
Property and equipment		3 to 15 years

2.2 Intangible Assets

2.2.1 Customer List

In connection with the initial acquisition of the cable business by the Company in March 2003, approximately T€681,659 of the purchase price was allocated to the customer list. Further additions to the customer list that occurred during the twelve months ended March 31, 2008 and in the previous years are primarily related to the acquisition of Level 4 companies and subscribers. The weighted remaining useful life of the customer list is 3.92 years, 4.61 years and 5.55 years as of March 31, 2008, March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006, respectively.

2.2.2 Other Intangible Assets

F-14

demonstrate the technical feasibility of completing the asset, how the asset will generate future economic benefit, the availability of resources to complete the asset and the ability to measure reliably the expenditure during the development. If the requirements for capitalization are not fulfilled, development costs are expensed as incurred.

Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment loss.

2.2.3 Subsequent Expenses

Subsequent investments in intangible assets will be capitalized if they qualify for recognition as an intangible asset.

2.2.4 Amortization of intangible assets

The amortization of other intangible assets with definite useful lives is based on the straight-line method over the assets` estimated useful lives Amortization begins when the intangible asset is ready for use.

The amortization expense is recognized in the statement of operations in the expense category consistent with the function of the intangible assets.

The useful lives are estimated as follows:

•	Customer list	8.5 years
•	Software and licenses	1-10 years
•	Subscriber Acquisition Costs	1-8.5 years

The appropriateness of the useful life for the customer list is validated on an annual basis.

2.3 Financial Instruments

Recognition and Derecognition of Financial Instruments

Financial assets and liabilities are recognized when the Company enters into a contractual relationship with the respective counterparty or issuer. A financial asset is derecognized when:

•: the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired;
•: the Company retains the right to receive cash flows from the asset but has assumed an obligation to pay those cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a 'pass-through' arrangement; or
•: the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset and either (a) has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset but has transferred control of the asset.

F-15

A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires.

Where an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability, and the difference in the respective carrying amounts is recorded in the consolidated statement of operations.

2.5 Trade and Other Receivables

2.6 Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are mainly comprised of cash on hand and other short-term, highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less. Cash on hand and in bank and other are carried at nominal value.

For purposes of the consolidated cash flow statement cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts.

F-17

2.7 Impairment

2.7.1 Determination of Recoverable Amount

For assets to which no cash flows can be directly attributed, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

2.7.2 Reversal of Impairment Loss

2.8 Equity

Subscribed capital and the capital reserve are stated at nominal value. Capital reserves are set up for additional paid in capital and for changes relating to share-based payments.

2.9 Employee Benefits

2.14 Taxes on Income

Deferred income tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences, except:

•: where the deferred income tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and
•: for temporary taxable differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures, where the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

F-20

available against which the deductible temporary differences and the carry-forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilized:

•: except where the deferred income tax asset relating to the temporary deductible difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit or loss nor taxable profit or loss;
•: except that temporary deductible differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures, deferred tax assets are only recognized to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized.

Income taxes relating to items recognized directly in equity are recognized in equity and not in the statement of operations.

2.15.2 Estimation Uncertainty

Derivatives

The fair values of the derivative financial instruments as of the balance sheet date have been estimated at the net present values (discounted by market yield curves) of the future payments and using standard models (in the case of caps). The total fair values of the derivative financial instruments amounted to T€-116,346, T€-53,191 and T€-26,461 as of March 31, 2008, March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Share-based payments

As of March 31, 2006 and for periods prior to this, it was management's intention to settle MEP I using the formula price as stated in the respective limited partnership agreement. Effective April 19, 2006 and in connection with the 5^th amendment to the limited partnership agreement, the controlling shareholders of Cayman Cable modified the settlement terms of MEP I interests in Cayman Cable Holding L.P to better reflect current market value conditions, changing the settlement formula from an EBITDA formula with fixed multiples to estimated fair value. The change in the fair price estimation resulted in an increase in personnel expenses in the amount of T€36,836 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007.

Based on the 5^th amendment to the limited partnership agreement, the fair value measurement for MEP IV interests is based on the same valuation methods as is used for MEP I.

The Company recognized expenses with respect to all MEP plans in an amount of T€23,042, T€41,791 and T€19,232 for the years ended March 31, 2008, March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006, respectively.

F-22

Internally Developed Software

The Company recognized intangible assets developed internally (consisting of software used by the Company) to the extent the criteria of IAS 38 were met. Development costs for internally generated intangible assets are recognized at cost to the extent the assets are economically usable and the costs can be reliably measured. For the years ended March 31, 2008, March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006, respectively, approximately T€2,528, T€1,048 and T€3,042 of costs for internally developed software were capitalized.

Customer List

The customer list is primarily amortized on a straight-line basis over 8.5 years. The estimated useful life is based on the average number of terminations and the term of the average contract life. The book value of the customer list amounted to T€317,813, T€382,387 and T€460,483 for the years ended March 31, 2008, March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006, respectively.

Provision for Pensions

With respect to the actuarial calculation of the provision for pensions, the Company estimated the future salary increases, future pension increases and the discount rate. As of March 31, 2008, March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006, the provision for pensions amounted to T€29,148, T€24,171 and T€19,798, respectively.

Asset Retirement Obligations

The amount of the accrual is based on an estimate of the costs expected for the demolition and restoration of the technical facilities. Expectations regarding the lessor waiving asset retirement performance requirements are factored into the calculation of best estimate of the obligation related to the leased cable ducts under IFRS. Approximately 93% of KDG's obligations are related to technical equipment, including different kinds of cable and signal transmitting and receiving technology in cable ducts of DTAG. KDG assumes that 30% of the technical equipment will be replaced by other technologies after 15 years. The remaining 70% of the technical equipment is expected to be restored after 30 years. The remaining 7% of the asset retirement obligations are divided into accruals for furniture, fixtures and miscellaneous restoration obligations. The asset retirement obligations amounted to T€20,665, T€20,562 and T€19,964 as of March 31, 2008, March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006, respectively.

2.16 Accounting Standards Recently Issued by the IASB

The Company applied all IFRSs and IFRIC interpretations issued by the IASB, London, that are effective as of March 31, 2008, and applicable to the Company. The designation IFRS also includes all valid IAS. All interpretations of the IFRIC, formerly the SIC, were also applied.

Accounting Standards recently issued by the IASB and applied by the Company

In addition to the IFRSs and IFRIC Interpretations already applied by the Company in the fiscal year ending March 31, 2007, it has adopted the following amended IFRS standards and IFRIC interpretation during the year ending March 31, 2008. The following standard did have an effect on the financial statements of the Company:

IFRS 7 "Financial Instruments: Disclosures"

F-23

and income situation of companies. In addition, it contains new requirements for reporting on risks which are associated with financial instruments. Also associated with the adoption of IFRS 7 is an expansion of IAS 1 "Presentation of Financial Statements". Qualitative information is disclosed on objectives, methods and processes for the management of capital. In addition external minimum capital claims, infringements of these as well as the resulting consequences are disclosed.

The following interpretation did not have any effect on the financial statements of the Company:

IFRIC 11 "IFRS 2 Group and Treasury Share Transactions"

IFRIC 11 was issued in November 2006 and becomes effective for annual periods beginning on or after March 1, 2007. This Interpretation requires arrangements whereby an employee is granted rights to an entity's instruments to be accounted for as an equity settled scheme, even if the entity buys the instruments from another party, or shareholders provide the equity instruments needed.

Accounting Standards recently Issued by the IASB and not yet applied by the Company

The Company has not applied the following IFRS and IFRIC interpretations that have been issued and have been endorsed by the EU but are not effective as of March 31, 2008:

In November 2006, the IASB issued IFRS 8 "Operating Segments". The standard requires an entity to report financial and descriptive information about its reportable segments. IFRS 8 requires identification of operating segments based on internal reports that are regularly reviewed by the entity's chief operating decision maker in order to allocate resources to the segment and assess its performance. The standard also requires an explanation of how segment profit or loss and segment assets and liabilities are measured for each reportable segment. IFRS 8 requires an entity to report information about revenues derived from its products or services, about the countries in which it earns revenues and holds assets, and about major customers. The provisions of IFRS 8 are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2009. The Company expects to adopt the amended IFRS 8 beginning April 1, 2009. It is not expected that the adoption of IFRS 8 will have a material impact on the Company's results of operations, financial position or cash flow.

The Company has not applied the following IFRSs and IFRIC interpretations that have been issued but have not yet been endorsed by the EU and are not effective as of March 31, 2008:

In September 2007, the IASB issued a revised version of IAS 1 "Presentation of Financial Statements: A Revised Presentation", which has to be applied to annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2009. Early adoption is not expected. The intention of the revision is to improve the users' ability to analyse and compare the information given in financial statements. IAS 1 requires a Statement of Comprehensive Income and under certain circumstances the presentation of the opening balance sheet of the comparative period. The initial application of the revised IAS 1 will have an effect on the presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

In March 2007, the IASB issued a revised version of IAS 23 "Borrowing Costs". The revised standard requires an entity to capitalize borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets as a part of the costs of that asset. Under this standard an entity does not have to capitalize borrowing costs relating to qualifying assets measured at fair value, or to inventories that are manufactured or produced in large quantities on a repetitive basis, even if they take a substantial time to produce. The revised Standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2009. The Company expects to adopt the amended IAS 23 beginning April 1, 2009. It is not expected that the adoption of amendments will have a material impact on the Company's operations, financial position or cash flow.

In January 2008, the IASB issued a revised version of IAS 27 "Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements", which has to be applied to annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2009.

F-24

Early adoption is not expected. The changes in this Standard relate to the accounting for non-controlling (minority) interest and are not expected to have any effect on the Company's results of operations, financial position or cash flow.

In February 2008, the IASB published amendments to IAS 32 and IAS 1 "Puttable Financial Instruments and Obligations Arising on Liquidation", which have to be applied to annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2009. Early adoption is not expected. These amendments require certain financial instruments that represent a residual interest in the net assets of an entity, which would otherwise be classified as financial liabilities, to be classified as equity, if both the financial instrument and the capital structure of the issuing entity meet certain conditions. IAS 1 has been amended to include additional disclosure requirements. It is not expected that the adoption of the amendments will have a material impact on the Company's results of operations, financial position or cash flow.

In January 2008, the IASB published an amendment to IFRS 2 "Share-Based Payment: Vesting Conditions and Cancellations", which has to be applied to annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2009. Early adoption is not expected. This amendment clarifies the definition of vesting conditions in share-based payments and stipulates that all cancellations of share-based payments should receive identical accounting treatment, regardless of the party responsible for cancellation. The adoption of this revision is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's results of operations, financial position or cash flow.

In January 2008, the IASB published a revised version of IFRS 3 "Business Combinations", which has to be applied to annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2009. Early adoption is not expected. Major changes are: (a) the requirement that the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and equity interests be consistently measured at fair value on the acquisition date, (b) All items of consideration transferred by the acquirer are measured and recognized at fair value at the acquisition date, including contingent consideration, (c) transaction costs incurred in an acquisition are recognized in the statement of operations as incurred, (d) the option of measuring any non-controlling interest in the entity at fair value, and (e) new disclosures are required. The changes must be applied prospectively and will affect future acquisitions.

In November 2006, the IFRIC issued the interpretation IFRIC 12, "Service Concession Agreements". The interpretation addresses how service concession operators should apply existing IFRSs to account for the obligations they assume and rights they receive in service concession arrangements. In one type of such an arrangement, the operator receives a financial asset, i.e., an unconditional contractual right to receive cash or another financial asset from the government in return for constructing or upgrading a public sector asset. In the other type of such an arrangement, the operator receives an intangible asset, i.e., a right to charge for the use of the public sector asset that it contracts or upgrades. A right to charge users is not an unconditional right to receive cash because the amounts are contingent to the extent to which the public uses the service. IFRIC 12 allows for the possibility that both types of arrangements may exist within a single contract. To the extent that the government has given an unconditional guarantee to pay for the construction of the public sector asset, the operator owns a financial asset. To the extent that the operator has to rely on the public using the service in order to obtain payment, the operator owns an intangible asset. IFRIC 12 applies for all annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2008. The Company expects to adopt IFRIC 12 beginning April 1, 2008. The adoption of this interpretation is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's results of operations, financial position or cash flow.

F-25

buy other goods or services. It is not expected that the adoption of the interpretation will have a material impact on the Company's results of operations, financial position or cash flow.

The IFRIC issued IFRIC 14 "The Limit on a Defined Benefit Asset Minimum Funding Requirements and their Interaction" in July 2007. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2009. Early adoption is not expected. The interpretation addresses the interaction between a minimum funding requirement and the limit placed by paragraph 58 of IAS 19 on the measurement of the defined benefit asset or liability. It is not expected that the adoption of the interpretation will have any impact on the Company's results of operations, financial position or cash flow.

In July 2008, the IFRIC issued the Interpretation IFRIC 15 "Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate" which has to be applied for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2009 and is to be applied retrospectively. Early adoption is not expected. IFRIC 15 provides guidance on how to determine whether an arrangement for the construction of real estate is within the scope of IAS 11 "Construction contracts" or IAS 18 "Revenue" and when revenue from the construction should be recognized. It is not expected that the adoption of the interpretation will have any effect on the Company's results of operation, financial position or cash flow.

In July 2008, the IFRIC issued the Interpretation IFRIC 16 "Hedges of a Net Investment in a Foreign Operation" which has to be applied for annual periods beginning on or after October 1, 2008. Early adoption is not expected. IFRIC 16 clarifies that the presentation currency does not create an exposure to which an entity may apply hedge accounting. Consequently, a parent entity may designate as a hedged risk only the foreign exchange differences arising from a difference between its own functional currency and that of its foreign operation. It is not expected that the adoption of the interpretation will have any effect on the Company's results of operation, financial position or cash flow.

4.6 Intangible Assets

Software and Licenses and other Contractual and Legal Rights

Software and licenses primarily consist of software licenses for standard business software and costs related to the customer care and billing system. The software is being amortized on a straight-line basis over three to six years through October 2010.

Beginning April 1, 2006, the Company modified the conditions related to the minimum duration of customer contracts. Due to this modification, the Company began to capitalize the related sales commissions of its sales agents and the costs of call center representatives based on future contractual revenue streams. The amortization period of these amounts is 8.5 years for cable access contracts, which is based on the estimated average life of an access customer relationship, and 12 or 24 months for digital pay and Internet & Phone contracts which is based on the fixed term period of those customer contracts. Amortization is calculated based on the straight-line method. For the fiscal years ended March 31, 2008 and March 31, 2007, sales commissions in an amount of T€28,091 and T€17,384, respectively, were capitalized in software and licences and other contractual and legal rights. The amortization of sales commissions was T€13,507 and T€4,806 for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2008 and March 31, 2007, respectively.

Internally Developed Software

For the years ended March 31, 2008, March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006 approximately T€2,528, T€1,048 and T€3,042, respectively, of costs for internally developed software were capitalized. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, costs for internally developed software comprised of T€795 for internally developed software and T€1,733 for prepayments for internally developed software. These amounts relate to costs incurred in the further development of company-specific software applications, particularly for its customer care and billing systems (CCB), Smile BK and digital pay TV. The software of CCB is being amortized over a period of 6 years, the software of Smile BK and digital pay are being amortized over a period of 4 years. The remaining useful life of all internally developed software is between 0.5–3.5 years.

F-36

Customer List

For the years ended March 31, 2008, March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006 the Company recorded additions in the customer list of T€20,936, T€5,713 and T€6,178, respectively. The remaining useful life of the customer list is between 3.5–8.5 years.

For further information relating to intangible assets, reference is made to the fixed asset register in Appendix 1, Appendix 2 and Appendix 3.

4.7 Property and Equipment

Asset Retirement Obligation

In many cases KDG leases space in the cable ducts of DTAG to house KDG's cable network. Related to these leases, KDG is subject to contractual asset retirement obligations. The costs were estimated at T€17,477 and were capitalized as of April 1, 2003. Further additions related to new asset retirement obligations in an amount of T€723 were recognized as of March 31, 2008. Depreciation is charged over the normal useful life of the respective assets which resulted in a depreciation expense of T€1,398, T€1,509 and T€1,260 for the years ended March 31, 2008, March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006, respectively.

Due to a change in estimate with respect to the interest rate as of March 31, 2008 and March 31, 2007 the capitalized costs were reduced by an amount of T€2,308 and T€1,182, respectively.

Operating Lease for CPE

To get connection to internet and phone services as well as to receive digital pay TV, the Company leases the necessary equipment to the customers. These leases, for which the Company is the lessor, are classified as operating leases. Therefore, the Company capitalizes the CPE as fixed assets based on acquisition cost and the cost of removing the asset at the end of the lease. Over the useful life of 3 years the assets are depreciated using the straight-line method. In the Fixed Asset Schedule CPE is presented as part of technical equipment. For the fiscal years ended March 31, 2008, March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006, the net book value of CPE amounted to T€22,468, T€4,352 and T€0, respectively.

During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006, KDG recorded depreciation expense of T€7,759, T€5,664 and T€4,735, respectively. The Company also recorded interest expense related to these finance leases of T€2,853, T€2,504 and T€2,473 for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, and paid T€7,197, T€5,145 and T€3,973, to reduce the financial liability, respectively.

There is an option to extend the contract duration related to the lease of certain transponders by another five year period by mutual agreement of the parties, which must be reached at least six months before the expiry of the first five year period.

This agreement was comprised of two facilities, a T€1,150,000 term loan facility (Tranche A) and a T€200,000 revolving credit facility (Tranche B). Tranche A and Tranche B mature on March 31, 2012 (together the Senior Credit Facility). On July 19, 2007 the Company amended its Senior Credit Facility and increased Tranche B to T€325,000 under the same terms and conditions as the original Tranche B. The Senior Credit Facility is secured by all the assets of Kabel Deutschland Vertrieb und Services GmbH & Co. KG (KDVS) and a first pledge on 100% of the shares of KDVS which are owned and offered as security by Kabel Deutschland GmbH under its guarantee. The carrying amount of KDVS' shares amounts to T€3,278,200. Since the closing date, Tranche A (T€1,150,000) has been fully drawn.

Tranche B may be borrowed, repaid and re-borrowed up until one month prior to the final maturity date. Borrowings under Tranche B may be used for general corporate purposes. As of March 31, 2008, T€60,000 was outstanding under Tranche B.

The financing and transaction costs related to Tranche B are shown under non-current prepaid expenses in the amount of T€3,679 and under current prepaid expenses in the amount of T€767.

Interest rates on the Senior Credit Facility are based on one, two, three or six months EURIBOR plus a margin.

The margin on the Senior Credit Facility is based on the ratio of consolidated senior net borrowings to consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Senior Credit Facility agreement) as follows:

Ratio of Consolidated Total Net Borrowings to Consolidated EBITDA		Margin (percentage per annum)
Greater than 4:1		2.00
Less than or equal to 4:1, but greater than 3.5:1		1.875
Less than or equal to 3.5:1		1.75

As of March 31, 2008 the ratio of Consolidated Senior Net Borrowings to Consolidated EBITDA amounted to 2.61:1. Therefore, the applicable margin was 1.75% as of March 31, 2008. KDG pays an annual commitment fee of 0.625% on the undrawn commitment under Tranche B.

The Senior Credit Facility is subject to several affirmative and negative covenants including, but not limited to, the following:

Test		Requirement
EBITDA to Net Interest		1.75x–3.00x
Senior Net Debt to EBITDA		4.00x–2.00x

F-40

As of March 31, 2008 the ratio of EBITDA to Net Interest amounted to 2.81. The ratio of Senior Net Debt to EBITDA amounted to 2.61.

Mandatory prepayments are required in case of (i) a change of control, public flotation or sale of the business, (ii) certain third party receipts and (iii) the sale of shares on the public market (if consolidated total senior net borrowings to consolidated EBITDA is greater than or equal 2:1).

At March 31, 2008, T€1,150,000 was outstanding under Tranche A at an interest rate of approximately 6.14%. At March 31, 2008, T€60,000 was outstanding under Tranche B at an interest rate of approximately 6.1127%. The Company entered into interest rate caps and swaps in order to mitigate the exposure to interest rate risks, although these are not accounted for as hedges.

Senior Add-on Facility

On October 22, 2007 KDVS signed a T€650,000 Senior Add-on Facility or Tranche C, restricted for usage in acquisitions which ranks pari-passu with the existing T€1,150,000 Senior Credit Facility.

The Senior Add-on Facility matures in March 2013 and carries a coupon of EURIBOR + 325bps. The Tranche C can be cancelled in part or completely at any time. The Facility has the same financial covenants as the existing Term Loan Facility.

As of March 31, 2008, Tranche C is unfunded. Since January 22, 2008, KDVS has paid an annual commitment fee of 1% on the undrawn commitment under Tranche C.

The financing and transaction costs related to Tranche C are shown under non-current prepaid expenses in the amount of T€6,647.

(ii): the present value of all required interest payments due on such Notes to and including July 1, 2009 using a discount rate for the Euro Notes equal to the Bund Rate (as defined in the 2014 Senior Notes agreement) and for the US $ Notes equal to the US Treasury Rate (as defined in the 2014 Senior Notes agreement) at such redemption date, plus 50 basis points.

At any time after July 1, 2009, the following redemption prices apply beginning on the day after July 1 in each of the following years:

The Company has several defined benefit pension plans for different groups of employees (collective agreement (CA) employees, non-collective agreement (NCA) employees and other). The majority of the plans are average salary plans, which are in accordance with regulations applicable for public servants. These plans were continued with substantially the same terms upon the purchase of the business from DTAG. The plans for other employees represent individual commitments.

The annual contributions for CA and NCA employees amount to 2.5% of their contractually agreed annual fixed salaries. The annual contributions for NCA employees increase by 9% for salaries lying above the income threshold for contributions to the statutory pension scheme. Each contribution is translated into an insured sum.

The insured sum is calculated by multiplying the contribution by the respective age factor of the employee and is credited to a pension account. From the age of 61 to the onset of retirement, each employee receives an additional annual bonus sum amounting to 6% of the most recent pension account balance. The contribution rates for individual pension commitments are determined on an individual basis.

Changes in the present value of the defined benefit obligation are as follows:

	Apr. 1, 2007- Mar. 31, 2008		Apr. 1, 2006- Mar. 31, 2007		Apr. 1, 2005- Mar. 31, 2006

Provisions for restructuring

The following development of restructuring provisions includes effects that were utilized or reversed within the same year.

At the end of fiscal year ended March 31, 2006, KDVS announced a restructuring plan affecting the regional technical departments, the central marketing department and the sales department. As of March 31, 2007, T€2,455 remained as a restructuring provision of which T€2,165 was utilized and T€54 were reversed during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008. Based on the final negotiations related to this restructuring, the restructuring accrual increased by T€202 and personnel expense in the same amount was recorded. As of March 31, 2008 the restructuring provision amounted to T€438.

Additional restructuring plans for the centralization of the regional IT-departments from various regions to Unterföhring, the outsourcing of parts of the IT-department and the reorganization of the regional technical departments were announced by KDBS. The provision for restructuring amounted to T€1,735 as of March 31, 2007. At the end of fiscal year March 31, 2008, the total provision amounted to T€1,292 due to a utilization of T€648, a reversal of T€860 and additional accruals of T€1,065. Amounts recorded were accrued as personnel expenses.

As of March 31, 2007, KDVS announced an additional restructuring plan relating to the regional technical departments. As of March 31, 2007 T€10,412 remained as a restructuring provision. In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008 the provision increased by T€1,598 due to the finalization of the negotiations related to this restructuring which was recorded as personnel expense. Furthermore an amount of T€10,941 was utilized and an amount of T€651 was reversed during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008. As of March 31, 2008 T€418 remained as a restructuring provision.

Additionally, a KDG restructuring program entered into prior to April 1, 2005 had remaining accruals of T€34 and T€16 as of March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2008.

Provisions for asset retirement obligation

All asset retirement obligation calculations utilize an inflation rate of 2.01% (20-year-OECD- average) and a risk-free interest refinancing rate of 5.65% (prior period: 4.8% and for the period

F-45

ended March 31, 2006: 4.5%). The obligation is accreted to the expected payment amount using the effective interest method.

Approximately 93% of KDG's obligations are related to technical equipment, including different kinds of cable and signal transmitting and receiving technology in cable ducts of DTAG. KDG assumes that 30% of the technical equipment will be replaced by other technologies after 15 years. The remaining 70% of the technical equipment is expected to be replaced after 30 years.

The remaining 7% of the asset retirement obligations are divided into accruals for furniture and fixtures and miscellaneous restoration obligations.

A change in estimate with respect to the interest rate as of March 31, 2008 resulted in a decrease of the provision amounting to T€2,308. Further additions for new asset retirement obligations recognized as of March 31, 2008 increased the provision by T€723.

Other

Provisions for other primarily include provisions for obligations due to onerous contracts and premature cancellation of contracts.

F-46

Additionally, due to interests granted under the Indirect MEP IV, the capital reserve decreased by T€6,489 as of March 31, 2008 (prior year: T€0, for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006: T€0).

Included in this amount are loans granted to Cayman Cable Holding L.P. in its capacity as parent of Kabel Deutschland GmbH in the amount of T€13,504 as of March 31, 2008 repayable on March 2016. The granted loans are classified as transactions with parents and therefore included in Equity.

5. Other Notes

5.1 Other Financial Obligations and Contingencies

Leasing and Rental Obligations

KDG has entered into several long-term service agreements with DTAG as well as its subsidiary T-Systems International GmbH. These agreements include but are not limited to usage and access agreements for underground cable ducts, fiber optic cables, co-location facilities and energy. The agreements have primarily fixed prices, either based on a monthly or unit basis, and are valid for up to thirty years. However, KDG can terminate the agreements with a notice period of 12 to 24 months.

The financial obligations as of March 31, 2008, March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006 include the obligations arising due to the earliest possible termination date of KDG and are as follows:

			March 31, 2008 Due				March 31, 2007 Due

The lease payments for cable ducts are T€103,492, T€103,450 and T€103,928 for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2008, March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006, respectively. While the Company has the legal right to cancel the agreements for the lease of the cable ducts with a notice period of 12–24 months, the technological requirements to replace leased capacity represent economic penalties which would result in the reasonably assured renewal of the leases for a certain period of time. Management expects that for 30% of the leased capacity the economic penalties will require renewal of the contracts for 15 years, when the Company believes it will have the ability to replace the capacity. This results in a non-cancelable lease term of 15 years for this portion of the leased cable ducts. For the remaining 70%, the lease term is expected to include all renewal periods under the agreement, resulting in a non-cancelable lease term of 30 years through March 31, 2033, after which time the lease can be cancelled at the option of DTAG. As of March 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 the total financial obligations for cable ducts amounted to T€2,116,935, T€2,220,200 and T€2,323,465, respectively.

In the fiscal years ended March 31, 2008, March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006, KDG had leasing expenses amounting to T€167,890, T€176,058 and T€173,783, respectively.

The increase of other financial obligations in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008 related to the purchase agreement with Orion Cable signed during the fiscal year. The Company refers to Section 5.7.

Contingencies

On December 16, 2003, KDG received notice from Arbeitsgemeinschaft Kabel (ARGE Kabel), a copyright collection agency representing three collecting societies (GVL, VG Wort, VG Bild-Kunst), which indicated that the Company could owe up to approximately T€3,000. This represents 40% of the amount paid to VG Media for copyright fees for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003. The Company believes these fees should be paid by GEMA and VG Media as a condition to certain agreements between these two collecting societies and the Company. Therefore the Company has refused to make the payment. In September 2007, the Munich Regional Court dismissed the claim. However, ARGE Kabel filed its appeal with the Munich Higher Regional Court. The proceedings in the second instance are still pending but Management believes the lower court ruling will be confirmed.

General Risks

In the course of its business activities, the Company faces general economic risks due to relationships with customers, suppliers and employees. In addition, general risks exist regarding obligations under legal and tax authorities. Currently there are no proceedings related to these risks.

5.2 Related Parties

In accordance with IAS 24, persons or companies which are in control of or controlled by KDG GmbH must be disclosed, unless they are already included as consolidated companies in KDG GmbH's consolidated financial statements. Control exists if a shareholder owns more than one

F-48

5.3 Segment Reporting

For the purposes of segment reporting, KDG's activities are split into business segments in accordance with IAS 14. Business segments are the primary reporting format. This breakdown is based on the internal management and reporting system and takes into account the different risks and earnings structures of the business segments.

The business activities of KDG and its subsidiaries focus on the operation of cable television networks in Germany. Risks and rewards do not differ within Germany. Therefore, operations do not need to be segmented into geographical segments and the secondary reporting format is not required.

Segment information on intangible and tangible fixed assets, receivables, liabilities and profit or loss is provided in the primary reporting format. This segment information is obtained using the same disclosure and measurement methods as for the consolidated financial statements. There are no significant relationships between the individual segments, and therefore no intersegment relationships need to be eliminated. Any intrasegment relationships have been eliminated.

Cable Access contains all activities and services linked to the customer's physical access to the Company's cable network either directly to end customers or indirectly through commercial Level 4 operators or housing associations for which the Company charges a fee.

Cable television access is the basis for free and paid services offered by the Company, including TV and radio services, Internet & Phone services. Recently the Company revised its strategy of requiring cable access as a basis for subscribing to Internet & Phone. Non-cable access customers may now subscribe to Internet & Phone services.

The Company's cable access business generates revenues through subscription fees, installation fees and other revenues.

TV/Radio

In addition to the access cable television business described in the above section, the Company offers its own pay TV packages. The Company sells its pay TV packages directly to consumers and to a lesser extent indirectly through certain Level 4 operators. The company sells pay TV packages to an unaffiliated regional cable television operator.

The Company also delivers the pay TV packages of an unaffiliated pay TV operator. In addition to serving its own subscriber base our digital playout center also delivers digital video signals to unaffiliated regional cable television operators in Germany for distribution to the subscribers served by these operators. Among the operators that used the service previously, only one remains from January 1, 2008. This operator is expected to discontinue the use of the Company's digital playout services by the end of the calendar year 2008.

Our TV/Radio business generates revenue through subscription fees, CPE sales, carriage fees and fees for services in connection with our digital playout facility.

Internet & Phone

The Company can offer Internet & Phone services to those homes which are passed by its upgraded bi-directional network (630 MHz) and where the Company has or can have a direct

F-51

relationship with the customer, or where the Level 4 operators allow us to either directly or indirectly provide our services (Marketable Homes).

5.4 Share-Based Payments

Management Equity Participation (MEP) Programs

At March 31, 2008, the Company has five Management Equity Participation Programs (MEP I, MEP II, MEP III, MEP IV and MEP V) in place. MEP I provides direct and indirect—via Kabel Management Beteiligungs GbR—ownership in Cayman Cable Holding L.P., the parent company of KDG and LuxCo. MEP II and III provide options in Cayman Cable Holding L.P. interests. MEP IV is split into an interest program providing indirect—via Kabel Management Beteiligungs- (MEP IV) GbR—ownership in Cayman Cable Holding L.P. and an option program providing options in Cayman Cable Holding L.P. interests. MEP V also provides options in Cayman Cable Holding L.P. interests. Certain employees (including senior executives) of the Company receive remuneration in the form of share-based payment transactions.

MEP I

Certain members of KDG GmbH Management and the Supervisory Board participate in the Cayman Cable Holding L.P. directly as limited partners (the Direct Management Equity Program I—direct MEP I) and certain members participate indirectly through interests in Kabel Management Beteiligungs GbR, a separate partnership which is itself a limited partner in Cayman Cable Holding L.P. (the Indirect Management Equity Program I—indirect MEP I). The terms of both programs are substantially the same.

On February 11, 2004, Cayman Cable Holding G.P. Co. Ltd. (the general partner) and the limited partners of the Partnership entered into a second amended and restated limited partnership agreement. This agreement sets forth the structure relating to the governance and ownership of the Partnership and the terms of the direct MEP I. Under the direct MEP I, certain members of Management and the Supervisory Board were admitted to the Partnership as limited partners holding common interests in the Partnership. Other members of Management were admitted to the program through ownership in Kabel Management Beteiligungs GbR, a limited partner in the Partnership holding common interests in the Partnership.

The members both of the direct MEP I and indirect MEP I were required to pay a capital contribution upon admission. The direct MEP I and the indirect MEP I members have financed up to 70% of the members' contributions with a loan from the Partnership.

Interest accrues on such loans at a rate between 3.0% and 5.5% per annum, compounded annually, and is repayable in accordance with an amortization schedule in the relevant agreement. The members are entitled to proceeds resulting from the sale of shares in LuxCo by Cayman L.P. With these proceeds the granted loans were repaid.

Put or call provisions apply to the members' Partnership interests in the event that such member ceases to be employed by KDG GmbH or its subsidiaries.

Certain limits apply with respect to the transfer of interests in the Partnership. Limited partners are not permitted to transfer their interests in the Partnership (subject to certain exceptions for affiliate transfers and transfers to subsidiaries or family vehicles) without the consent of the general partner, Cayman Cable Holding G.P. Co. Ltd. Such consent may be given subject to conditions or restrictions or may be withheld at the general partner's absolute discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no transfers shall be valid or effective if the transfer would violate any applicable securities laws or it would cause the Partnership to lose any of its exemptions or favorable treatment under the U.S. Federal income tax laws, ERISA or the U.S. Investment Company Act of 1940.

As of April 19, 2006, Cayman Cable Holding L.P. agreed to assume obligations under PIK-Notes issued by P4 Cayman Cable Ltd. As a result of that, the Partnership decided to adjust the number of

F-54

interests to reflect the decrease in the value of MEP I members shares resulting in the issuance of additional interests to the MEP I holders. The number of interests additionally issued as an adjustment without any consideration was 724,102 in the direct MEP I and 136,227 in the indirect MEP I.

During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, 629,790 interests in Cayman Cable Holding L.P. of members of the direct MEP I and 83,972 interests of members of indirect MEP I were sold by the respective members. These interests were repurchased by Cayman Cable Holding L.P. at an average price of €12.00 per interest in direct MEP I and €14.66 per interest in indirect MEP I. Since Cayman Cable Holding L.P. repurchased these interests for cash and has not required KDG to fund the repurchase, the liabilities related to these interests have been treated as a contribution from the parent when settled, resulting in an increase in capital reserve of T€8,789.

Grant date

The grant date determines the point in time at which the fair value of the services of the members of MEP is measured. The persons who are members of the direct MEP I participate in Cayman Cable Holding L.P. with a grant date as of March 13, 2003. The persons who are members of the indirect MEP I participate with a grant date as of November 27, 2003. For one limited partner in the Partnership the grant date was October 1, 2003. The grant date for 14,250 of the additional 2,259,723 interests granted during the fiscal year ending March 31, 2006 was February 28, 2006. For the other 2,245,473 interests which were granted on February 2, 2006, Cayman Cable Holding L.P. awarded the holders immediate additional vesting as if the interests had been granted on April 26, 2005.

On April 19, 2006, Cayman Cable Holding L.P. granted the holders of interests an additional year vesting. As a result, the vested part of the interests of the MEP I holders increased by 25% in addition to the scheduled vesting.

Number of interests granted

As of March 31, 2008, Management holds direct and indirect interests of 3.74% and 0.44%, respectively, in the Cayman Cable Holding L.P. The total consideration paid for these interests amounts to T€13,957 and T€312, respectively.

Measurement

Under the direct MEP I as of March 13, 2003, the fair value of the interests at March 31, 2008 amounts to T€15,074 (prior year: T€19,432). Under the indirect MEP I as of November 27, 2003, the fair value of the interests in Kabel Management Beteiligungs GbR, which is valued by the fair value of its contribution in the Cayman Cable Holding L.P. amounts to T€6,463 (prior year: T€6,151). The fair value of the interests of the new members of direct MEP I granted in February 2006 at March 31, 2008 amounts to T€39,699 (prior year: T€31,737).

At each balance sheet date through March 31, 2006, the carrying value of the repurchase obligation related to vested MEP I interests has been based on a formula defined in the partnership agreement for fair price estimation of the respective shares, which have been negotiated between the partners and are documented in the partnership agreement (third amendment) and a letter of grant (for certain of the interests granted in February 2006). Effective April 19, 2006 and in connection with the 5^th amendment to the limited partnership agreement, the controlling shareholders of Cayman Cable modified the settlement terms of MEP I interests in Cayman Cable Holding L.P to change the settlement formula from an EBITDA formula with fixed multiples to a fair value based model. The difference between repurchase obligation as computed at each reporting date and the consideration for the interests is accounted for as personnel expense. This amount is recognized over a vesting period of four years commencing at grant date using the accelerated recognition method in accordance with IFRS 2 whereby 25% are vested at each anniversary. Therefore the program is split into 4 different

F-55

layers, for which fair value is calculated at each reporting date. As of March 31, 2008, March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006 T€61,229, T€56,146 and T€6,906, respectively have vested. The liability was recorded in other liabilities. Included in these amounts is the contribution made by the members of MEP I since such contributions are a liability in case of the sale of the interests. Due to changes in the fair value of the interests and due to additional vesting, the Company recognized an increase in expenses and an increase in other liabilities for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008 in the amount of T€13,695 (prior year (including the change from a formula based price to a fair value based price): T€37,585). Additionally, T€207 was recognized as a increase in personnel expense due to the sale of interests resulting in a net income effect in total of T€13,902.

MEP II and III

MEP II and MEP III are option programs that differ in the exercise price only. Under these programs, the participants were granted options on interests in the Cayman Cable Holding L.P.

As of April 19, 2006, Cayman Cable Holding L.P. agreed to assume obligations under PIK-Notes issued by P4 Cayman Cable Ltd. As a result of this equity restructuring, the Partnership adjusted the number of options to reflect the decrease in value of the underlying interests resulting in the issuance of additional options to the MEP II and III holders. The number of options issued for that adjustment was 26,961 in MEP II and 109,344 in MEP III. At the same time, the strike price for the options was adjusted by the same proportion to keep the total strike price constant. The value of the total outstanding options before and after this adjustment was the same.

Number of options granted

In May 2006, KDG granted 300,000 additional options at a strike price of €7.01 each.

As of March 31, 2008, a total of 434,897 options have been granted to the participants in MEP II and MEP III representing a 0.43% interest in the Cayman Cable Holding L.P.

The maximum term of the options is ten years after grant date. The options will be forfeited if they are not exercised. The weighted average remaining life of the options is 1.97 years as of March 31, 2008.

On April 19, 2006, Cayman Cable Holding L.P. granted the holders of existing options—except the holders of the options granted in March 2006—an additional year vesting. As a result, the vested part of those options within MEP II and MEP III increased by 25% in addition to the scheduled vesting.

Method and extent of exercise

The options will become immediately vested and exercisable upon any of the following events:

•: the date of completion of the sale, or disposal in any other manner, of all or substantially all of the business and assets of the Cayman Cable Holding L.P. and its subsidiaries (Group) to a third party purchaser;
•: the effective date of a public offering of the shares in KDG and their shareholders (Group) companies representing substantially all of the business.

In addition, the general partner of Cayman Cable Holding L.P. may, at its absolute discretion, allow options to become exercisable, in whole or in part, prior to an exit event if any other transaction occurs which would materially affect the value of the options.

F-56

The general partner may decide that, instead of procuring the issue or transfer of interests in Cayman Cable Holding L.P. (LP interests) on exercise of an option that it will:

•: pay to the option holder (after deduction of any taxes, social security contributions duties or other expenses) a cash amount equal to the difference between the market value of the LP interests which would otherwise be issued or transferred and the exercise price for those LP interests; or
•: transfer to the option holder a number of the shares of any Group company which has a market value equal the difference between the market value of the LP interests which would otherwise be issued or transferred and the exercise price for those LP interests; or
•: transfer to the option holder a number of the shares which are admitted to listing which has a market value of the difference between the market value of the LP Interests which would otherwise be issued or transferred and the exercise price for those LP interests.

Any other transfer of options is restricted to certain limited options (e.g. ceasing employment). Any transfer of an option otherwise than permitted in this program would cause the option to lapse.

Measurement

The measurement of the fair value at grant date and each consecutive reporting period is based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The main parameters are the estimated fair value of the interests, expected volatility of the values of the interests, the estimated term of the options and the risk free interest rate on grant date (based on the estimated average life of the options of five years). The grant of the options is not dependent on market conditions, whereby expected future distributions have been included in the calculation.

The volatility was estimated at 25% by benchmarking historical volatilities of listed international cable companies that are comparable regarding the parameters that typically influence the volatility.

The strike prices are €1.17 for MEP II and €4.53 for MEP III and €0.83 for options granted in March 2006. The strike price for the options granted in May 2006 is €7.01.

⁽¹⁾: For Explanation, see section MEP II and III, paragraphs 1 and 2.

For MEP II and III the Company recognized compensation expense and a corresponding increase in other liabilities in the amount of T€1,940 in fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, of which the entire amount has vested. None of the options granted have been cancelled since granting. Therefore, all options shown are outstanding as of year end March 31, 2008 of which 382,409 vested and 52,488 remain unvested.

The net book value of the liability relating to MEP II and III at March 31, 2008 amounts to T€5,252.

Indirect MEP IV

Since March 2007, an additional management participation plan has been implemented, including options on interests in the Partnership (MEP IV option program) and interests in the Partnership which are held indirectly via Kabel Management Beteiligungs- (MEP IV) GbR (Indirect MEP IV). Kabel Management Beteiligung- (MEP IV) GbR is itself a limited partner in the Partnership.

The general rules of the indirect MEP IV plan are substantially the same as for the indirect MEP I. All members of the indirect MEP IV were admitted to the program through ownership in Kabel Management Beteiligungs- (MEP IV) GbR, a limited partner in the Partnership holding common interests in the Partnership.

The members of the indirect MEP IV were required to pay a capital contribution upon admission. The Partnership and the Kabel Management Beteiligungs- (MEP IV) GbR, respectively, have financed 80% of the managers' contributions with a loan from the Partnership. Interest accrues on such loan at a rate of 5.0% per annum, compounded annually, and is repayable in accordance with an amortization schedule in the relevant agreement. The members are entitled to proceeds received by them in respect of their interests.

Put or call provisions apply to the members' Partnership interests in the event that such member ceases to be employed by KDG GmbH or its subsidiaries.

The total number of interests in Kabel Management Beteiligungs- (MEP IV) GbR issued under the Indirect MEP IV amounts to 540,758. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, none of these interests were sold by the respective members.

Grant date

The grant date determines the point in time at which the fair value of the services of the members of MEP is measured. The persons who are members of the indirect MEP IV participate in Kabel Management Beteiligungs- (MEP IV) GbR with a grant date as of March 29, 2007.

F-58

Number of interests granted

As of March 31, 2008, the members of that management participation plan indirectly hold interests in Cayman Cable Holding L.P. of 0.54%. The total consideration paid for these interests amounts to T€6,489.

Measurement

Under the indirect MEP IV as of March 29, 2007, the fair value of the interests at March 31, 2008 amounts to T€7,928.

As for the MEP I, the carrying amount of the repurchase obligation related to vested MEP IV interests at each reporting date is measured based on estimated fair value. This amount is recognized over a vesting period of four years commencing at grant date using the accelerated recognition method in accordance with IFRS 2 whereby 25% are vested at each anniversary. Therefore the program is split into 4 different layers, for which fair value is calculated at each reporting date. As of March 31, 2008, T€7,238 have vested. The liability was recorded in other liabilities. Included in these amounts is the contribution made by the members of indirect MEP IV since such contributions are a liability in case of the sale of the interests. Due to changes in the fair value of the interests and due to additional vesting, the Company recognized an increase in expenses and an increase in other liabilities for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008 in the amount of T€749.

MEP IV Option Program

Under the MEP IV Option Program, the participants were granted options on interests in the Cayman Cable Holding L.P. The terms and conditions of this management participation plan are substantially the same as for the other option programs.

Number of options granted

During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008 and in conjunction with the implementation of the additional plan, 2,085,908 options have been granted. Furthermore, 48,170 options have been called in that period based on the regulations in the amended and restated Cayman Cable Holding L.P. option plan—MEP IV.

As of March 31, 2008, a total of 2,037,738 options have been granted to the participants in MEP IV representing a 2.04% interest in the Cayman Cable Holding L.P.

Grant date and terms

The options under the MEP IV Option program have been issued with a grant date as of March 29, 2007. The weighted average remaining life of the options is 3.99 years as of March 31, 2008.

Method and extent of exercise

The Options will become immediately vested and exercisable upon any of the following events:

•: the date of completion of the sale, or disposal in any other manner, of all or substantially all of the business and assets of the Group to a third party purchaser (which is not itself a Group undertaking or under common ownership with a Group undertaking);
•: the effective date of a Flotation whereby Flotation means any underwritten public offering of the shares of a holding undertaking of Group Companies; or
•: the date of an Approved Offer whereby Approved Offer means an offer to acquire all of the issued limited partnership interests in the Partnership,

after which they will lapse if unexercised.

F-59

In addition, the general partner of Cayman Cable Holding L.P. may, at its absolute discretion, allow options to become exercisable, in whole or in part, prior to an exit event.

The general partner may decide that, instead of procuring the issue or transfer of interests in Cayman Cable Holding L.P. (LP interests) on exercise of an option that it will:

•: pay to the option holder (after deduction of any taxes, social security contributions duties or other expenses) a cash amount equal to the difference between the market value of the LP interests which would otherwise be issued or transferred and the exercise price for those LP interests; or
•: transfer to the option holder a number of the shares of any Group company which has a market value equal the difference between the market value of the LP interests which would otherwise be issued or transferred and the exercise price for those LP interests; or
•: transfer to the option holder a number of the shares which are admitted to listing which has a market value of the difference between the market value of the LP Interests which would otherwise be issued or transferred and the exercise price for those LP interests.

Any other transfer of options is restricted to certain limited options (e.g. ceasing employment). Any transfer of an option otherwise than permitted in this program would cause the option to lapse.

Measurement

The strike price is €12.00 for all options in the MEP IV Option Program.

5.5 Financial Instruments

KDG is exposed to market risks from changes in interest rates and currency exchange rates which can impact its operating results and overall financial condition. KDG manages its exposure to these market risks through its operating and financing activities and, when deemed appropriate or required by other agreements, through hedging strategies that utilize derivative financial instruments. The main strategy is to avoid or to mitigate risks, e.g. currency risk by entering in currency swaps or the risk of variable interest payments by entering into interest rate swaps and buying caps. Derivative instruments are only used to hedge existing or prospective transactions.

Of KDG's financial instruments, only the Senior Notes bear fixed interest and a fair value interest rate risk, whereas the bank loans bear cash flow interest rate risks.

The Company has incurred debt that is denominated in various currencies, primarily via bond issues and bank borrowings. The total notional amount of debt denominated in USD is TUSD 610,000 as of March 31, 2008, March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006. As a result, KDG is exposed to risks from changes in interest rates and exchange rates.

Risks are initially hedged by way of naturally closed positions in which the values or the cash flows of primary financial instruments are matched in terms of maturity and amounts. Any residual risks are mitigated by way of conventional derivative financial instruments.

F-62

As of the balance sheet date, derivative financial instruments consisted of the following: (notional amounts):

	March 31, 2008	March 31, 2007	March 31, 2006
	T€	T€	T€

Total	505,553	505,553	505,553
Total nominal volume	1,112,924	1,208,741	1,299,392

The nominal volume is the sum total of all purchase and sale amounts of the interest rate and currency derivatives. The nominal amounts are equal to the volume of the hedged items.

Changes in the fair value of the currency swaps are recognized directly in equity under cash flow hedge reserve. The accumulated amount is released to profit or loss insofar as the hedged transaction affects profit or loss of the year.

Interest Rate Swaps and Caps

Approximately T€1,037,500 borrowed under the Company's initial senior loan facility in 2003 was used to fund the acquisition of the cable television business. The interest rate volatility related to these outstanding loans was mitigated with a combination of interest rate swaps and caps at the time the bank loans were incurred. The loans were extended by the lending banks subject to the condition that the Company would enter into appropriate interest rate swaps and interest caps.

With the interest rate swaps, the variable interest rates (EURIBOR) on KDG's bank loans were effectively exchanged for a fixed interest rate of 4.0495% per annum. KDG initially entered into interest rate swaps with a notional amount of T€778,125 which will be amortized until 2015. These swaps entitle KDG to receive a payment from the counterparty if the variable market interest rate exceeds the fixed interest rate, and oblige KDG to make a payment to the counterparty if the fixed interest rate exceeds the variable market interest rate. These types of agreements are entered into to effectively convert the interest rates on a portion of KDG's long-term liabilities to banks from variable to fix. In 2003, KDG also purchased interest rate caps with a cap level of 4.2% per annum with a notional amount of T€259,375 which will be amortized until 2015. These caps entitle KDG to receive a payment from the counterparty equal to the excess, if any, of the hypothetical interest expense on a specified notional amount at a current market interest rate over an amount specified in the agreement.

F-63

In September 2004, KDG restructured its interest rate swaps and caps. The restructured derivatives now mature June 2009 compared to the original maturity, and the effective interest rate on the swaps was reduced from 4.0495% to 3.705% as of September 29, 2004.

Currency Swaps

KDG GmbH issued TUSD 610,000 of 10.625% Senior Notes on July 2, 2004. Interest payment dates are semi-annual each January 1 and July 1, commencing in January 2005. Interest accrues from the issue date of the notes on July 2, 2004. The Senior Notes are not callable until after the fifth anniversary of the issuance date.

KDG GmbH entered into a derivative agreement swapping 100% of the US dollar-denominated principal and interest payments into Euro-denominated principal and interest payments at a fixed rate over five consecutive years with various banks. The agreed exchange rate is US dollar 1.2066 for each Euro. The weighted average Euro fixed rate considering derivatives currently in place is 10.2046%. The Cross Currency swap matures on July 1, 2009.

Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk of a financial loss if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. It arises principally from receivables from customers. The exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer.

For all payments underlying the financial instruments, collateral must be requested, credit ratings/references obtained and a track record of prior business relations used in order to minimize the credit risk depending on the nature and extent of the respective payments. Without taking into account any collateral or other credit enhancements, the carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum exposure to credit risk.

Impairment losses are recognized for any credit risks associated with the financial assets. The credit risk associated with derivative financial instruments is minimized in that only counterparties with top credit ratings are selected. For this reason, the general credit risk relating to the derivatives used by the Company is not considered to be significant. No concentration of credit risks from business relations with individual debtors is evident.

Interest Rate Risk

KDG's interest payment risk is mitigated by the derivatives described. As of year-end 2006, 2007 and 2008, all of the interest-bearing liabilities are due in 5 years, which is why the interest rate derivative structure is long term.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk represents the risk that liquidity reserves will prove to be insufficient to meet financial obligations in a timely manner. In order to ensure liquidity the Company has unused Senior Credit Facilities and other lines of credit amounting to T€909,000 T€200,000 and T€50,000 at March 31, 2008, March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006, respectively. In the fiscal year 2008 an amount of T€650,000 is included which relates to the Senior Add-on-Facility.

Future cash outflows arising from financial liabilities that are recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheet are presented in the following table. This includes payments to settle the liabilities and interest payments as well as cash outflows from cash settled derivatives with a negative market value. Financial liabilities that are repayable on demand are included on the basis of the earliest date of

F-64

repayment. Cash flows for variable interest liabilities are determined with reference to the market conditions at the balance sheet date.

Capital management

The primary objective of the Company's capital management is to ensure that it maintains a strong credit rating to reduce risks from its highly leveraged financing structure.

This is monitored using the debt covenants of the Senior Credit Facility and the indenture of the Senior Notes.

The Company's ability to make payments and to refinance its debt, and to fund future operations and capital expenditures, will depend on future operating performance and the ability to generate sufficient cash. Accordingly the Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it, in light of changes in economic conditions.

	45,442		34,899		(24,197	)

Net gains or losses on financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include the effects from the fair value measurement of the derivatives that are not part of a hedge accounting relationship.

Net gains and losses on loans and receivables comprise mainly impairment losses and reversals.

Net gains or losses of Available-for-Sale financial assets result from the sale of interests in other companies. In the fiscal year 2008 the amount relates to the sale of Primacom.

Net gains and losses on financial liabilities measured at amortised cost include effects from foreign currency translation and from early settlement.

Net gains and losses on financial liabilities measured at amortised cost include effects from foreign currency translation from the Senior Notes denominated in USD which is accounted for under hedge accounting provisions. The effects are completely compen-sated through the hedging instruments.

The carrying amounts of the Company's cash and cash equivalents, money market funds, trade receivables and payables, short-term loans, as well as other current liabilities, in view of their short terms as of March 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006, are effectively equal to their fair values as they have interest rates based on variable interest rates that change in line with the market. Using a discounted cash flow analysis based on the current lending rate for an identical loan term, the fair value of the Company's long-term, fixed-rate liabilities is estimated as the net present value of future payments, using yield curves obtained by banks and money market observations. Due to the complexity inherent in such an estimate, the estimate may not necessarily reflect actual market values. Different market assessments or procedures may therefore significantly influence the fair value estimate.

The fair value of the Euro denominated portion of the Senior Notes as of March 31, 2008 amounts to approximately T€245,000 (98.00% of the nominal value). The fair value of the US dollar denominated portion of the Senior Notes amounts to approximately T€379,996 (98.50% of nominal value). These values are determined by reference to published price quotations. With respect to the carrying amounts of the financial assets and liabilities please refer to the respective sections in the Notes.

The fair values of the derivative financial instruments as of the balance sheet date have been estimated as net present values (discounted by market yield curves) of the future payments and using standard models (in the case of caps). They are as follows:

Amounts removed from equity and recognized in income for currency swaps that are part of cash flow hedge accounting according to the tables above are included in interest expense or interest income, respectively.

Prior to March 31, 2007 the Company assessed hedge effectiveness of an interest rate swap in a cash flow hedge by applying the "change in variable cash flow method". Following the publication in the March 2007 IFRIC update of the IFRIC Agenda decision on "IAS 39Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement—Assessing hedge effectiveness of an interest rate swap in a cash flow hedge" the Company has reconsidered its accounting treatment applied to those transactions and decided to adopt the treatment set out in the IFRIC agenda decision. Accordingly, the Company had adjusted its financial statements as of March 31, 2007 and comparative periods to reflect the fact that hedge accounting has no longer been historically applied and has, therefore, recorded all changes in fair value of the interest rate swap through profit and loss. This change in accounting treatment has been accounted for retroactively. This adjustment resulted in a decrease in other comprehensive income of T€8,320, a decrease in interest expense of T€13,682 and an increase in deferred tax expense of T€5,362 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006.

Sensitivity analysis

KDG prepares sensitivity analysis that shows how net income and equity would have been affected by changes in the relevant market risk variables that were reasonably possible at the reporting date.

Foreign currency risks result from the US dollar-denominated Senior Notes as described in Note 4.11. Future cash flows for the repayment of the principal and interest payments are fully hedged with derivative instruments that are accounted for as cash flow hedges through to July 2009. A 1% increase (decrease) in the USD/EUR exchange rate subsequently to that would result in an incremental increased (decreased) notional amount to be repaid in 2014 of approximately T€5,100. Further a 1% increase (decrease) in the USD/EUR exchange rate would result in an incremental increased (decreased) annual interest payment of approximately T€500 after expiry of the currency hedge in 2009.

F-69

Interest rate risks result from the variable interest rates (EURIBOR) on KDG's bank loans and are hedged with interest rate swaps and caps that are accounted for at fair value through profit or loss. In determining the sensitivity concerning interest rate risks the fair values for interest rate swaps and caps were calculated based on the hypothetical market interest rates with the resulting effects on net income and equity. The effect of interest rate changes on interest expense for bank loans with variable interest rates is calculated based on the risk exposure at the balance sheet date. Excluded from the analysis is the fixed rate Senior Note that is measured at amortised cost so that changes in interest rates do not effect net income. Under this approach and assuming constant foreign exchange rate the interest rate sensitivity is as follows.

	Effect on net income and equity
	Parallel increase of the interest curve of 100 basis points		Parallel decrease of the interest curve of 100 basis points
	(in T€)

1. General

Kabel Deutschland Vertrieb und Service GmbH & Co. KG (KDVS), formerly Kabel Asset GmbH & Co. KG, was founded on October 16, 2003. KDVS' registered office is in Unterföhring, Betastraße 6-8 (commercial register of Munich HRA 83902), Germany. Since its formation, KDVS has been a wholly-owned subsidiary of Kabel Deutschland GmbH, Unterföhring (KDG) which is owned by Cayman Cable Holding L.P., George Town, Cayman Islands (Cayman Cable). Cayman Cable was controlled by a consortium consisting of Apax, Goldman Sachs Capital Partners and Providence as of March 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005. As of February 8, 2006, Providence acquired all shares of Cayman Cable held by Apax and Goldman Sachs Capital Partners.

Kabel Deutschland Vertrieb und Service GmbH & Co. KG and its subsidiaries (KDVS Group or the Group) is the market leader in the German cable television business in terms of homes passed, subscribers and revenues. The Group primarily provides cable access connections, offering up to 41 analog TV channels and up to 36 VHF radio stations. The KDVS Group also delivers digital television signals through its digital playout center. The KDVS Group carries and offers its own digital pay TV program packages, packages of an unaffiliated German pay television operator, and the digital programs offered by the public broadcasters. The Group also offers internet and telephony services to our customers.

1.1 Acknowledgement

The consolidated financial statements of KDVS for the three years ended March 31, 2008, have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). The consolidated financial statement also comply with the regulations under German Commercial Law pursuant to Sec. 315a (3) German Commercial Code. All IFRSs issued by the IASB, effective at the time of preparing the consolidated financial statements and applied by the Group, have been adopted for use in the European Union (EU) by the European Commission. Therefore the consolidated financial statements also comply with IFRS as adopted by the EU.

1.2 Basis of Presentation

As of March 29, 2006 (effective April 1, 2006) KDVS changed its fiscal year end from December 31 to March 31. Therefore, the period from January 1, 2006 to March 31, 2006 is a stub period. The fiscal year end of the shareholder KDG, is March 31. As KDVS is the guarantor of KDG's debt the KDVS' consolidated financial statements are presented for the twelve month period ending March 31 (fiscal year ended March 31).

The amounts in the consolidated financial statements and notes are presented in Euros and all values are rounded to nearest thousand (T€) except where otherwise stated. The Group's financial statements have been prepared using consistent accounting and consolidation methods for all periods presented. The Group's statement of operations has been prepared using the cost of sales method under IFRS. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for derivative financial instruments and liabilities related to its Management Equity Participation Program that have been measured at fair value.

F-86

Prior to March 31, 2007 the Group assessed hedge effectiveness of an interest rate swap in a cash flow hedge by applying the "change in variable cash flow method". Following the publication in the March 2007 IFRIC update of the IFRIC Agenda decision on "IAS 39Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement—Assessing hedge effectiveness of an interest rate swap in a cash flow hedge" the Group has reconsidered its accounting treatment applied to those transactions and decided to adopt the treatment set out in the IFRIC agenda decision. Accordingly, the Group had adjusted its financial statements as of March 31, 2007 and comparative periods to reflect the fact that hedge accounting has no longer been historically applied and has, therefore, recorded all changes in fair value of the interest rate swap through profit and loss. This change in accounting treatment has been accounted for retroactively. This adjustment resulted in a decrease in other comprehensive income of T€8,320, a decrease in interest expense of T€13,682 and an increase in deferred tax expense of T€5,362 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006.

With respect to changes in estimates regarding the asset retirement obligation please refer to note 4.7 and 4.13.

1.3 Consolidation

1.3.1 Scope of Consolidation

In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008 the Group acquired Leto GmbH. As of May 9, 2007, Schramm Elektro und Antennen GmbH and as of July 10, 2007, HOT-Kabelservice Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung (both were Level 4 operators) were merged with the Group. KDVS' consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2008 are comprised of KDVS and five consolidated subsidiaries (fiscal year ended March 31, 2007: six consolidated subsidiaries; fiscal year ended March 31, 2006: five consolidated subsidiaries). Investments are consolidated if KDVS directly or indirectly owns more than 50% of the outstanding voting rights of an entity and if the investments are under the control of KDVS as defined by IAS 27 "Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements".

The legal restructurings of the direct and indirect subsidiaries of KDG, which took place in the years ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, were treated as transactions involving entities under common control. KDVS accounted for these transactions in a manner similar to the application of the pooling-of-interest method. As such, the legal structure of the KDVS Group as of March 31, 2006 was also applied to the Group as of March 31, 2005 and April 1, 2004 as basis for the consolidation.

1.3.2 Changes in the Consolidation Group and Acquisitions

Share Acquisition

The accounting for business combinations in the KDVS consolidated financial statements is performed according to IFRS 3 "Business Combinations" by allocating the cost of a business combination to the acquiree's identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities at their fair value at the time of the acquisition. Any difference between the cost and the fair value is goodwill or badwill.

As of March 1, 2008, the Group acquired 100% of the shares of Leto GmbH, an unlisted company based in Berlin, Germany, specialized in supplying multimedia for the housing industries, especially the provision and management of cable access for subscribers of Level 4 operators.

F-87

The fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of Leto GmbH as at the date of acquisition and the corresponding carrying amounts immediately before the acquisition were:

	Fair value recognised on acquisition		Previous carrying value
	T€		T€
Customer List	5,094		4,418
Property and equipment	4,342		4,342
Cash and Cash equivalents	10		10
Trade receivables	22		22
Other current assets	79		79
Deferred expenses	4		4

	9,551		8,875

Liabilities to Affiliates	(9	)	(9	)
Other provision	(34	)	(34	)
Deferred income tax liabilites	(202	)	0

	(245	)	(43	)

Net assets	9,306		8,832

Total consideration (in cash)	9,306

From the date of acquisition, Leto GmbH had a positive impact in terms of revenue of T€190 and of T€12 to the net profit/loss of the Group. If the combination had taken place at the beginning of the year, the net loss for the Group would have been T€229,884 and revenue from continuing operations would have been T€1,199,350.

With regard to business combinations that were effected after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are authorized for issue the Group refers to Section 5.7.

Asset Acquisitions

In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, the Group acquired approximately 63,610 subscribers and the major part of the associated technical CATV Level 4 network infrastructure from RKS Süd-West GmbH for total aggregate consideration of approximately T€20,270. The aggregate purchase price of the transactions resulted in an increase in customer list of T€15,653 and an increase of technical equipment of T€4,617.

The Group acquired an additional 599 subscribers from several small Level 4 companies for total aggregate consideration of approximately T€192. The aggregate purchase price of the transactions resulted in an increase in customer list of T€189 and an increase of technical equipment of T€3.

Asset acquisitions did not include the assumption of any liabilities or other financial obligations.

1.3.3 Basis of Consolidation

Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealized gains on transactions between KDVS and its subsidiaries are eliminated in consolidation. The accounting policies of the consolidated subsidiaries are consistent with the policies adopted by KDVS. Acquisitions are accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.

Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date of acquisition, being the date on which the Group obtains control, and continue to be consolidated until the date that such control ceases.

F-88

Companies in which KDVS has significant influence over the business and the financial policies as defined by IAS 28 "Investments in Associates" are recorded in the consolidated financial statements using the equity method. Intercompany profits and losses of associated companies are eliminated in consolidation in relation to their shareholding ratio.

1.4 Currency Translation

The functional and reporting currency of KDVS Group is the Euro.

Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies existing as of the balance sheet date which are to be carried at fair value were converted to Euros at the rate. The Group used the following exchange rates (spot rates):

		March 31, 2008		March 31, 2007		March 31, 2006
1€		US$ 1.5812		US$ 1.3318		US$ 1.2104
1€		GBP 0.7958		GBP 0.6798		GBP 0.6964

2. Accounting and Valuation Methods

2.1 Property and Equipment

2.1.1 Property and Equipment

2.1.2 Leases

Operating lease

Operating lease for Customer Premises Equipment (CPE)

To get connection to Internet & Phone services as well as to receive digital TV, the Group leases the necessary equipment to the customers. These leases for which the Group is the lessor, are classified as an operating lease. Therefore, the Group capitalizes the CPE as fixed assets based on acquisition cost and the cost of removing the asset at the end of the lease. Over the useful life of 3 years the assets are depreciated using the straight-line method.

F-89

Finance lease

2.1.3 Subsequent Expenses

Rental costs are expensed. Repair and maintenance charges are expensed during the financial period in which they are incurred. The cost of significant renovations and additions are included in the carrying amount of the asset when it is probable that future economic benefits in excess of the originally assessed standard of performance will be realized by the Group. Significant renovations are depreciated over the shorter of the remaining useful life of the related asset or the lease term.

2.1.4 Depreciation of Fixed Assets

Depreciation is calculated based on the straight-line method over each asset's estimated useful life as follows:


Buildings and leasehold improvements		3 to 25 years
Technical equipment and machines		3 to 20 years
Property and equipment		3 to 15 years

2.2 Intangible Assets

2.2.1 Customer List

In connection with the initial acquisition of the cable business by the Group in March 2003, approximately T€681,659 of the purchase price was allocated to the customer list. Further additions to the customer list that occurred during the twelve months ended March 31, 2008 and in the previous years are primarily related to the acquisition of Level 4 companies and subscribers. The weighted remaining useful life of the customer list is 3.92 years, 4.61 years and 5.55 years as of March 31, 2008, March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006, respectively.

2.2.2 Other Intangible Assets

Computer software is recorded at cost as an intangible asset.

The Group recognizes intangible assets developed internally (consisting of software used by the Group) to the extent the criteria in IAS 38 "Intangible Assets" are met. Development costs for internally generated intangible assets are recognized at cost to the extent the Group can demonstrate

F-90

the technical feasibility of completing the asset, how the asset will generate future economic benefit, the availability of resources to complete the asset and the ability to measure reliably the expenditure during the development. If the requirements for capitalization are not fulfilled, development costs are expensed as incurred.

The Group recognizes subscriber acquisition costs incurred to obtain new subscribers if the costs are directly attributable to obtaining specific contracts, are incremental, can be measured reliably and meet the definition and recognition criteria of an intangible asset in accordance with IAS 38. Subscriber acquisition costs incurred to obtain new contracts without an initial contract period (open-ended contracts) are expensed as incurred.

Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment loss.

2.2.3 Subsequent Expenses

Subsequent investments in intangible assets will be capitalized if they qualify for recognition as an intangible asset.

2.2.4 Amortization of intangible assets

The amortization of other intangible assets with definite useful lives is based on the straight line method over the assets' estimated useful lives. Amortization begins when the intangible asset is ready for use.

The Group recognizes subscriber acquisition costs incurred to obtain new subscribers. The Group amortizes these costs over the initial contract period except for contracts where there is past evidence regarding the expected customer relationship period.

The amortization expense is recognized in the statement of operations in the expense category consistent with the function of the intangible assets.

The useful lives are estimated as follows:

��	Customer list	8.5 years
•	Software and licenses	1–10 years
•	Subscriber Acquisition Costs	1–8.5 years

The appropriateness of the useful life for the customer list is validated on an annual basis.

2.3 Financial Instruments

Recognition and Derecognition of Financial Instruments

Financial assets and liabilities are recognized when the Group enters into a contractual relationship with the respective counterparty or issuer. A financial asset is derecognized when:

•: the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired;
•: the Group retains the right to receive cash flows from the asset but has assumed an obligation to pay those cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a 'pass-through' arrangement; or

F-91

•: the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset and either (a) has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset but has transferred control of the asset.

A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires.

Where an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability, and the difference in the respective carrying amounts is recorded in the consolidated statement of operations.

Financial Assets

Financial assets in the scope of IAS 39 are classified as either financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments, or available-for-sale financial assets, as appropriate. When financial assets are initially recognized, they are measured at fair value, plus, in the case of investments not at fair value through profit or loss, directly attributable transaction costs. The Group determines the classification of its financial assets after initial recognition and, where allowed and appropriate, re-evaluates this designation at each financial year-end. All purchases and sales of financial assets in the ordinary course of business are recognized on the date on which control over the asset changes.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Loans and receivables

Available-for-sale financial assets

Financial Liabilities

F-92

periods, liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method with the exception of derivative financial instruments which are measured at their fair market value.

Derivative Financial Instruments

If derivative financial instruments are not 100% effective, the difference between the fair value and the changes in fair value of the related underlying contract is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations. The portion of the change in fair value not covered by the underlying transaction is immediately recognized in the consolidated statement of operations. If hedge accounting cannot be used by the Group, the change in the fair value of derivative financial instruments is recorded in the consolidated statement of operations.

Equity Investments in Associates

Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method at the investor's share of equity pursuant to IAS 28 "Investments in Associates". The Group's share of income, reduced by distributions and amortization of write-ups in amortizable assets from purchase accounting is disclosed in the fixed asset register as a change in equity investments.

2.4 Inventories

Raw materials, consumables, supplies, finished goods and merchandise are recorded at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is generally determined using a moving average cost.

2.5 Trade and Other Receivables

Trade and other receivables are disclosed at their nominal amount less bad debt allowances for any amounts deemed uncollectible. In relation to trade receivables, a provision for impairment is made when there is objective evidence (such as the probability of insolvency or significant financial difficulties of the debtor) that the Group will not be able to collect all of the amounts due under the original terms of the invoice. The carrying amount of the receivable is reduced through use of an allowance account. Impaired debts are derecognized when they are assessed as uncollectible.

2.6 Cash and Cash Equivalents

F-93

For purposes of the consolidated cash flow statement cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts.

2.7 Impairment

2.7.1 Determination of Recoverable Amount

For assets to which no cash flows can be directly attributed, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

2.7.2 Reversal of Impairment Loss

2.8 Equity

Limited partnership capital and the capital reserve are stated at nominal value after the reclassification of the capital attributable to Limited Partners which is recored as a liability and accounted at fair value. Capital reserves contain contributions from partners and changes relating to share-based payments.

2.9 Capital attributable to the Limited Partners

Financial instruments which grant the holder a right of repayment of the capital contributed to the partnership are classified as liabilities in accordance with IAS 32 "Financial Instruments". KDVS and its legal predecessors have been structured in the legal form of commercial partnerships in which the limited partners can obligate the partnership to repay capital contributions and the related attributable profit interest by exercising a legal right of notice.

The rights of the limited partners to the net assets of the partnerships are therefore reported in the IFRS consolidated financial statements of KDVS as liabilities under the item "Capital attributable to the Limited Partners". The liability is measured at the present value of the repayment right of the limited partner that, in accordance with the provisions of the partnership agreements, amounts to²/3 of the fair value of the interest in the limited partnership. The fair value of the interest is determined by reference to market transactions or by applying the discounted cash flow method (DCF method).

F-94

2.10 Employee Benefits

Under the Group's pension plans, KDVS provides employees post-employment benefits under a defined benefit plan. The benefits are unfunded.

The present value of future claims of participants is estimated using actuarial methods based on the amount of benefit earned for their service in the current and prior periods. The liabilities to be recognized in the consolidated balance sheet result from the present value of the defined benefit obligation adjusted for any actuarial gains or losses, and less any past service cost not yet recognized. The discount rate is determined by reference to the capital markets and takes into account the expected maturity of the obligation. KDVS engaged qualified external actuaries to perform the necessary actuarial calculations. The obligation is determined using the projected unit credit method.

2.11 Other Provisions

2.12 Trade Payables and Other Liabilities

Trade payables and other liabilities are recorded at amortized cost.

2.13 Revenue and Other Income

Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably measured. The different types of revenue are recognized as follows:

Installation and network connection

Revenue from the installation of the cable connection and the network connection is recognized when the services have been rendered, the costs incurred can be measured reliably and the Group is not obliged to provide any future network connection or installation services.

Rendering of services

Revenue generated by the delivery of analog and digital pay products, internet and telephone services as well as carriage fees and digital playout facility fees paid by television broadcasters are recognized when services have been provided, the costs incurred can be measured reliably and the

F-95

Group is not obliged to provide any future services. Prepayments are accounted for by deferring the received payments and amortizing them straight-line over the service period.

When free months are offered to customers in relation to a subscription, the Group recognizes the total amount of billable revenue in equal monthly installments over the term of the contract provided that the Group has the enforceable and contractual right to deliver the customer with the products after the promotional free month period. If free months are given without a contract at the beginning of a subscription period, the Group does not recognize revenues during the free months as the customer's continuance is not assured.

Sale of goods

Revenue for the sale of digital set-top boxes, cable modems, and other goods (Customer Premise Equipment—CPE) is recognized when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have passed to the buyer. Costs in connection with returns are accounted for by accruing the respective amount. If the Group acts as an agent, revenue is only recognized in the amount of the sales commissions.

Multiple Elements Arrangements

For bundled services in multiple element arrangements the Group recognizes revenue for each element on the basis of the relative fair value of each item in the transaction, if there is an evidence of fair value.

2.14 Share-Based Payments

The Group applies IFRS 2 "Share-Based Payment". Under IFRS 2, plans which result in share-based payment transactions have to be accounted for as cash-settled if the interest holder will receive a payment in cash upon settlement rather than the underlying equity instruments. Due to the terms of the different programs at KDVS, it is highly likely that the general partner of Cayman Cable Holding L.P. (the Partnership) will exercise the existing repurchase option in most cases of the interest holders' termination of employment and settle in cash. Alternatively, employees leaving the Group may have the option to put their vested interests to Cayman for cash. In the case of a put or call, the employee is generally protected from decreases in fair value below their initial investment amount. For such cash-settled share-based payment transactions, IFRS 2 requires the entity to account for share-based payments to management as personnel expense and a corresponding increase in other liabilities. For interests in the Management Equity Participation Program I (MEP I) and in the Management Equity Participation Program IV (Indirect MEP IV) which are share acquisition programs the costs of cash-settled transactions are measured initially based on the notional amount paid.

For MEP II and III as well as the MEP IV Option program and MEP V, which all are option programs, the costs of cash-settled transactions are measured initially at fair value at the grant date using the Black-Scholes model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted because it is typically not possible to reliably estimate the fair value of employee services received. This fair value is expensed over the period until vesting with recognition of a corresponding liability.

For all MEP programs the services received during the vesting periods and, therefore, the corresponding liabilities are re-measured at each balance sheet date up to and including the settlement date with changes in fair value recognized in the consolidated statement of operations.

F-96

2.15 Taxes on Income

Except for those cases described below, deferred income tax is provided, using the liability method on all temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes at the balance sheet date.

Deferred income tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences, except:

•: where the deferred income tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and
•: for temporary taxable differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures, where the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

•: except where the deferred income tax asset relating to the temporary deductible difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit or loss nor taxable profit or loss;
•: except that temporary deductible differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures, deferred tax assets are only recognized to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized.

Income taxes relating to items recognized directly in equity are recognized in equity and not in the statement of operations.

2.16 Key Judgments and Estimation Uncertainty

F-97

may differ from the judgments and estimations. Changes are recognized in the consolidated statement of operations when better information is available.

2.16.1 Key Judgments

In the process of applying KDVS' accounting policies, management has made the following judgments, apart from those involving estimations, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements.

Derivatives

The Group has entered into interest rate swaps, interest rate caps and currency swaps to hedge its risks resulting from exposure to changes in interest rates and foreign currency rates. All of these derivative instruments have been accounted for in accordance with IAS 39 at fair value irrespective of the purpose or the intention for which they were used. The currency swaps were classified as cash flow hedges.

Operating Leases for CPE

The Group offers products that contain signal delivery and the right to use hardware devices. The hardware devices are essential for the signal delivery to the customer. Since the fulfillment of these arrangements is dependent on the use of a specific asset and the arrangements convey a right to use the asset, the contracts contain a lease in accordance with IFRIC 4 (KDVS as lessor).

Hardware devices are recognized as equipment in accordance with IAS 16 and amortized over the useful life of three years.

Operating lease cable ducts

In certain cases KDVS leases space in the cable ducts of Deutsche Telekom AG (DTAG) to house KDVS' network cable. The Group has determined that it retains no significant risks and rewards of ownership of these cable ducts and, therefore, accounts for the leases as operating leases.

Finance lease transponders

The Group has leased specific satellite transponders in order to transmit audio and video signals. The Group has determined that the rights to use specific transponders have been transferred and that the lease term of specific transponders covers the major part of the economic life of the transponders. Therefore, the Group has classified and accounted for the leases as finance leases according to IAS 17.

Capital attributable to the Limited Partners

The rights of the limited partners to the net assets of the partnership are recorded as liability (under the item "Capital attributable to the Limited Partners"). If the limited partner (KDG) left KDVS, KDVS would not exist in the same way as before. Management expects that KDVS would not continue its business. As in that case no deductible temporary difference would arise KDVS did not recognize any deferred tax assets due to the revalued limited partnership.

2.16.2 Estimation Uncertainty

F-98

Derivatives

The fair values of the derivative financial instruments as of the balance sheet date have been estimated at the net present values (discounted by market yield curves) of the future payments and using standard models (in the case of caps). The total fair values of the derivative financial instruments amounted to T€4,239, T€5,415 and T€-3,241 as of March 31, 2008, March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006, respectively.

Share-based payments

As of March 31, 2006 and for periods prior to this, it was management's intention to settle MEP I using the formula price as stated in the respective limited partnership agreement. Effective April 19, 2006 and in connection with the 5^th amendment to the limited partnership agreement, the controlling shareholders of Cayman Cable modified the settlement terms of MEP I interests in Cayman Cable Holding L.P to better reflect current market value conditions, changing the settlement formula from an EBITDA formula with fixed multiples to estimated fair value. The change in the fair price estimation resulted in an increase in personnel expenses in the amount of T€1,493 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007.

Based on the 5^th amendment to the limited partnership agreement, the fair value measurement for MEP IV interests is based on the same valuation methods as is used for MEP I.

The Group recognizes expenses with respect to all MEP plans in an amount of T€3,017, T€4,217 and T€4,483 for the years ended March 31, 2008, March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006, respectively.

Internally Developed Software

The Group recognized intangible assets developed internally (consisting of software used by the Group) to the extent the criteria of IAS 38 were met. Development costs for internally generated intangible assets are recognized at cost to the extent the assets are economically usable and the costs can be reliably measured. For the years ended March 31, 2008, March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006, respectively, approximately T€2,528, T€1,048 and T€3,042 of costs for internally developed software were capitalized.

Customer List

The customer list is primarily amortized on a straight-line basis over 8.5 years. The estimated useful life is based on the average number of terminations and the term of the average contract life. The book value of the customer list amounted to T€317,813, T€382,387 and T€460,483 for the years ended March 31, 2008, March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006, respectively.

Provision for Pensions

With respect to the actuarial calculation of the provision for pensions, the Group estimated future salary increases, future pension increases and the discount rate. As of March 31, 2008, March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006, the provision for pensions amounted to T€25,849, T€21,579 and T€17,959, respectively.

F-99

Asset Retirement Obligations

The amount of the accrual is based on an estimate of the costs expected for the demolition and restoration of the technical facilities. Expectations regarding the lessor waiving asset retirement performance requirements are factored into the calculation of best estimate of the obligation related to the leased cable ducts under IFRS. Approximately 93% of KDVS' obligations are related to technical equipment, including different kinds of cable and signal transmitting and receiving technology in cable ducts of DTAG. KDVS assumes that 30% of the technical equipment will be replaced by other technologies after 15 years. The remaining 70% of the technical equipment is expected to be restored after 30 years. The remaining 7% of the asset retirement obligations are divided into accruals for furniture, fixtures and miscellaneous restoration obligations. The asset retirement obligations amounted to T€20,665, T€20,562 and T€19,964 as of March 31, 2008, March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006, respectively.

2.17 Accounting Standards Recently Issued by the IASB

The Group applied all IFRSs and IFRIC interpretations issued by the IASB, London, that are effective as of March 31, 2008, and applicable to the Group. The designation IFRS also includes all valid IAS. All interpretations of the IFRIC, formerly the SIC, were also applied.

Accounting Standards recently issued by the IASB and applied by the Group

In addition to the IFRSs and IFRIC Interpretations already applied by the Group in the fiscal year ending March 31, 2007, it has adopted the following amended IFRS standards and IFRIC interpretation during the year ending March 31, 2008. The following standard did have an effect on the financial statements of the Group:

IFRS 7 "Financial Instruments: Disclosures"

This standard results in a fundamental restructuring of the disclosure obligations for financial instruments and combines all disclosure regulations for financial instruments in a new standard. IFRS 7 requires disclosure of information on the importance of financial instruments for the asset and income situation of companies. In addition, it contains new requirements for reporting on risks which are associated with financial instruments. Also associated with the adoption of IFRS 7 is an expansion of IAS 1 "Presentation of Financial Statements". Qualitative information is disclosed on objectives, methods and processes for the management of capital. In addition external minimum capital claims, infringements of these as well as the resulting consequences are disclosed.

The following interpretation did not have any effect on the financial statements of the Group:

IFRIC 11 "IFRS 2 Group and Treasury Share Transactions"

Accounting Standards recently Issued by the IASB and not yet applied by the Group

The Group has not applied the following IFRS and IFRIC interpretations that have been issued and have been endorsed by the EU but are not effective as of March 31, 2008:

F-100

performance. The standard also requires an explanation of how segment profit or loss and segment assets and liabilities are measured for each reportable segment. IFRS 8 requires an entity to report information about revenues derived from its products or services, about the countries in which it earns revenues and holds assets, and about major customers. The provisions of IFRS 8 are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2009. The Group expects to adopt the amended IFRS 8 beginning April 1, 2009. It is not expected that the adoption of IFRS 8 will have a material impact on the Group's results of operations, financial position or cash flow.

The Group has not applied the following IFRSs and IFRIC interpretations that have been issued but have not yet been endorsed by the EU and are not effective as of March 31, 2008:

In March 2007, the IASB issued a revised version of IAS 23 "Borrowing Costs". The revised standard requires an entity to capitalize borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets as a part of the costs of that asset. Under this standard an entity does not have to capitalize borrowing costs relating to qualifying assets measured at fair value, or to inventories that are manufactured or produced in large quantities on a repetitive basis, even if they take a substantial time to produce. The revised Standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2009. The Group expects to adopt the amended IAS 23 beginning April 1, 2009. It is not expected that the adoption of amendments will have a material impact on the Group's operations, financial position or cash flow.

In January 2008, the IASB issued a revised version of IAS 27 "Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements", which has to be applied to annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2009. Early adoption is not expected. The changes in this Standard relate to the accounting for non-controlling (minority) interest and are not expected to have any effect on the Group's results of operations, financial position or cash flow.

In February 2008, the IASB published amendments to IAS 32 and IAS 1 "Puttable Financial Instruments and Obligations Arising on Liquidation", which have to be applied to annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2009. Early adoption is not expected. These amendments require certain financial instruments that represent a residual interest in the net assets of an entity, which would otherwise be classified as financial liabilities, to be classified as equity, if both the financial instrument and the capital structure of the issuing entity meet certain conditions. IAS 1 has been amended to include additional disclosure requirements. The Group currently evaluates the effect of the new standard. The assessment of a possible reclassification to liabilities has not been finalized.

In January 2008, the IASB published an amendment to IFRS 2 "Share-Based Payment: Vesting Conditions and Cancellations", which has to be applied to annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2009. Early adoption is not expected. This amendment clarifies the definition of vesting conditions in share-based payments and stipulates that all cancellations of share-based payments should receive identical accounting treatment, regardless of the party responsible for cancellation. The adoption of this revision is not expected to have a material impact on the Group's results of operations, financial position or cash flow.

In January 2008, the IASB published a revised version of IFRS 3 "Business Combinations", which has to be applied to annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2009. Early adoption is not expected.

F-101

Major changes are: (a) the requirement that the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and equity interests be consistently measured at fair value on the acquisition date, (b) All items of consideration transferred by the acquirer are measured and recognised at fair value at the acquisition date, including contingent consideration, (c) transaction costs incurred in an acquisition are recognized in the statement of operations as incurred, (d) the option of measuring any non-controlling interest in the entity at fair value, and (e) new disclosures are required. The changes must be applied prospectively and will affect future acquisitions.

In November 2006, the IFRIC issued the interpretation IFRIC 12, "Service Concession Agreements". The interpretation addresses how service concession operators should apply existing IFRSs to account for the obligations they assume and rights they receive in service concession arrangements. In one type of such an arrangement, the operator receives a financial asset, i.e., an unconditional contractual right to receive cash or another financial asset from the government in return for constructing or upgrading a public sector asset. In the other type of such an arrangement, the operator receives an intangible asset, i.e., a right to charge for the use of the public sector asset that it contracts or upgrades. A right to charge users is not an unconditional right to receive cash because the amounts are contingent to the extent to which the public uses the service. IFRIC 12 allows for the possibility that both types of arrangements may exist within a single contract. To the extent that the government has given an unconditional guarantee to pay for the construction of the public sector asset, the operator owns a financial asset. To the extent that the operator has to rely on the public using the service in order to obtain payment, the operator owns an intangible asset. IFRIC 12 applies for all annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2008. The Group expects to adopt IFRIC 12 beginning April 1, 2008. The adoption of this interpretation is not expected to have a material impact on the Group's results of operations, financial position or cash flow.

In June 2007, the IFRIC issued the interpretation IFRIC 13 "Customer Loyalty Programs", which has to be applied for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2008. Early adoption is not expected. The interpretation addresses accounting by entities that grant loyalty award credits to customers who buy other goods or services. It is not expected that the adoption of the interpretation will have a material impact on the Group's results of operations, financial position or cash flow.

The IFRIC issued IFRIC 14 "The Limit on a Defined Benefit Asset Minimum Funding Requirements and their Interaction" in July 2007. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2009. Early adoption is not expected. The interpretation addresses the interaction between a minimum funding requirement and the limit placed by paragraph 58 of IAS 19 on the measurement of the defined benefit asset or liability. It is not expected that the adoption of the interpretation will have any impact on the Group's results of operations, financial position or cash flow.

In July 2008, the IFRIC issued the Interpretation IFRIC 15 "Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate" which has to be applied for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2009 and is to be applied retrospectively. Early adoption is not expected. IFRIC 15 provides guidance on how to determine whether an arrangement for the construction of real estate is within the scope of IAS 11 "Construction contracts" or IAS 18 "Revenue" and when revenue from the construction should be recognized. It is not expected that the adoption of the interpretation will have any effect on the Group's results of operation, financial position or cash flow.

In July 2008, the IFRIC issued the Interpretation IFRIC 16 "Hedges of a Net Investment in a Foreign Operation" which has to be applied for annual periods beginning on or after October 1, 2008. Early adoption is not expected. IFRIC 16 clarifies that the presentation currency does not create an exposure to which an entity may apply hedge accounting. Consequently, a parent entity may designate as a hedged risk only the foreign exchange differences arising from a difference between its own functional currency and that of its foreign operation. It is not expected that the adoption of the interpretation will have any effect on the Group's results of operation, financial position or cash flow.

Subsidiaries of the KDVS group are corporations which are subject to corporate income tax and trade tax. The combined tax rate for these corporations is 29.79% which deviates from the expected tax rate of KDVS group.

A reconciliation of income taxes for the years ended March 31, 2008, March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006, determined using a combined statutory rate of 13.96% for corporate and trade tax to actual income tax expense as recorded on the statement of operations, is as follows:

	Apr. 1, 2007- Mar. 31, 2008		Apr. 1, 2006- Mar. 31, 2007		Apr. 1, 2005- Mar. 31, 2006

F-107

In the reporting year, the effects of the 2008 coporate income tax reform in Germany led to an one-time deferred tax income. The anticipated tax rate of 13.96% (2007: 17.4%) is based only on the trade tax rate of 13.96%.

The special business expense includes expenses and income, respectively, of the partners which are subject to taxation at the level of the partnership.

4.6 Intangible Assets

Software and Licenses and other Contractual and Legal Rights

Beginning April 1, 2006, the Group modified the conditions related to the minimum duration of customer contracts. Due to this modification, the Group began to capitalize the related sales commissions of its sales agents and the costs of call center representatives based on future contractual revenue streams. The amortization period of these amounts is 8.5 years for cable access contracts, which is based on the estimated average life of an access customer relationship, and 12 or 24 months for pay TV and Internet & Phone contracts which is based on the fixed term period of those customer contracts. Amortization is calculated based on the straight-line method. For the fiscal years ended March 31, 2008 and March 31, 2007, sales commissions in an amount of T€28,091 and T€17,384, respectively, were capitalized in software and licences and other contractual and legal rights. The amortization of sales commissions was T€13,507 and T€4,806 for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2008 and March 31, 2007, respectively.

Internally Developed Software

For the years ended March 31, 2008, March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006, approximately T€2,528, T€1,048 and T€3,042, respectively, of costs for internally developed software were capitalized. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, costs for internally developed software comprised of T€795 for internally developed software and T€1,733 for prepayments for internally developed software. These amounts relate to costs incurred in the further development of group-specific software applications,

F-111

particularly for its customer care and billing systems (CCB), Smile BK and digital pay TV. The software of CCB is being amortized over a period of 6 years, the software of Smile BK and digital pay are being amortized over a period of 4 years. The remaining useful life of all internally developed software is between 0.5-3.5 years.

Customer List

For the years ended March 31, 2008, March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006 the Group recorded additions in the customer list of T€20,936, T€5,713 and T€6,178, respectively. The remaining useful life of the customer list is between 3.5 - 8.5 years.

For further information relating to intangible assets, reference is made to the fixed asset register in Appendix 1, Appendix 2 and Appendix 3.

4.7 Property and Equipment

Asset Retirement Obligation

In many cases KDVS leases space in the cable ducts of DTAG to house KDVS` cable network. Related to these leases, KDVS is subject to contractual asset retirement obligations. The costs were estimated at T€17,477 and were capitalized as of April 1, 2003. Further additions related to new asset retirement obligations in an amount of T€723 were recognized as of March 31, 2008. Depreciation is charged over the normal useful life of the respective assets which resulted in a depreciation expense of T€1,398, T€1,509 and T€1,260 for the years ended March 31, 2008, March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006, respectively.

Due to a change in estimate with respect to the interest rate as of March 31, 2008 and March 31, 2007, the capitalized costs were reduced by an amount of T€2,308 and T€1,182, respectively.

Operating Lease for CPE

To get connection to internet and phone services as well as to receive digital pay TV, the Group leases the necessary equipment to the customers. These leases for which the Group is the lessor, are classified as operating leases. Therefore, the Group capitalizes the CPE as fixed assets based on acquisition cost and the cost of removing the asset at the end of the lease. Over the useful life of 3 years the assets are depreciated using the straight-line method. In the Fixed Asset Schedule CPE is presented as part of technical equipment. For the fiscal years ended March 31, 2008, March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006, the net book value of CPE amounted to T€22,468, T€4,352 and T€0, respectively.

Finance Lease

As of March 31, 2008, the Group leased certain transponders under finance leases through 2012. As of March 31, 2008, March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006, the net book value of the capitalized transponders totaled T€33,136, T€38,449 and T€28,802, respectively. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006, KDVS recorded depreciation expense of T€7,759, T€5,664 and T€4,735, respectively. The Group also recorded interest expense related to these finance leases of T€2,853, T€2,504 and T€2,473 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, and paid T€7,197, T€5,145 and T€3,973, to reduce the financial liability, respectively.

On May 12, 2006, KDVS entered into a Senior Credit Facility agreement. This agreement was comprised of two facilities, a T€1,150,000 term loan facility (Tranche A) and a T€200,000 revolving credit facility (Tranche B). Tranche A and Tranche B mature on March 31, 2012 (together the Senior Credit Facility). On July 19, 2007 the Group amended its Senior Credit Facility and increased Tranche B to T€325,000 under the same terms and conditions as the original Tranche B. The Senior Credit Facility is secured by all the assets of Kabel Deutschland Vertrieb und Services GmbH & Co. KG (KDVS) and a first pledge on 100% of the shares of KDVS which are owned and offered as security by Kabel Deutschland GmbH under its guarantee. The carrying amount of KDVS' shares amounts to T€3,278,200. Since the closing date, Tranche A (T€1,150,000) has been fully drawn.

The financing and transaction costs related to Tranche B are shown under non-current prepaid expenses in the amount of T€3,679 and under current prepaid expenses in the amount of T€767.

Interest rates on the Senior Credit Facility are based on one, two, three or six months EURIBOR plus a margin.

The margin on the Senior Credit Facility is based on the ratio of consolidated senior net borrowings to consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Senior Credit Facility agreement) as follows:

Ratio of Consolidated Total Net Borrowings to Consolidated EBITDA		Margin (percentage per annum)
Greater than 4:1		2.00
Less than or equal to 4:1, but greater than 3.5:1		1.875
Less than or equal to 3.5:1		1.75

As of March 31, 2008 the ratio of Consolidated Senior Net Borrowings to Consolidated EBITDA amounted to 2.61:1. Therefore, the applicable margin was 1.75% as of March 31, 2008. KDVS pays an annual commitment fee of 0.625% on the undrawn commitment under Tranche B.

F-115

The Senior Credit Facility is subject to several affirmative and negative covenants including, but not limited to, the following:

Test		Requirement
EBITDA to Net Interest		1.75x–3.00x
Senior Net Debt to EBITDA		4.00x–2.00x

As of March 31, 2008 the ratio of EBITDA to Net Interest amounted to 2.81. The ratio of Senior Net Debt to EBITDA amounted to 2.61.

Mandatory prepayments are required in case of (i) a change of control, public flotation or sale of the business, (ii) certain third party receipts, (iii) the sale of shares on the public market (if consolidated senior total net borrowings to consolidated EBITDA is greater than or equal 2:1).

At March 31, 2008, T€1,150,000 was outstanding under Tranche A at an interest rate of approximately 6.14%. At March 31, 2008, T€60,000 was outstanding under Tranche B at an interest rate of approximately 6.1127%. The Group entered into interest rate caps and swaps in order to mitigate the exposure to interest rate risks, although these are not accounted for as hedges.

Senior Add-on Facility

On October 22, 2007 KDVS signed a T€650,000 Senior Add-on Facility or the Tranche C, restricted for usage in acquisitions which ranks pari-passu with the existing T€1,150,000 Senior Credit Facility.

As of March 31, 2008, Tranche C is unfunded. Since January 22, 2008, KDVS has paid an annual commitment fee of 1% on the undrawn commitment under Tranche C.

The financing and transaction costs related to Tranche C are shown under non-current prepaid expenses in the amount of T€6,647.

The Group has several defined benefit pension plans for different groups of employees (collective agreement (CA) employees, non-collective agreement (NCA) employees and other). The majority of the plans are average salary plans, which are in accordance with regulations applicable for public servants. These plans were continued with substantially the same terms upon the purchase of the business from DTAG. The plans for other employees represent individual commitments.

Changes in the present value of the defined benefit obligation are as follows:

	Apr. 1, 2007- Mar. 31, 2008		Apr. 1, 2006- Mar. 31, 2007		Apr. 1, 2005- Mar. 31, 2006

Provisions for restructuring

The following development of restructuring provisions includes effects that were utilized or reversed within the same year.

Provisions for asset retirement obligation

All asset retirement obligation calculations utilize an inflation rate of 2.01% (20-year-OECD-average) and a risk-free interest refinancing rate of 5.65% (prior period: 4.8% and for the period ended March 31, 2006: 4.5%). The obligation is accreted to the expected payment amount using the effective interest method.

F-119

The remaining 7% of the asset retirement obligations are divided into accruals for furniture and fixtures and miscellaneous restoration obligations.

Other

Provisions for other primarily include provisions for obligations due to onerous contracts and premature cancellation of contracts.

4.15 Capital attributable to the Limited Partners

The rights of limited partners regarding repayment of the capital contribution to KDVS are reported in the IFRS consolidated financial statements of KDVS as liabilities under the item "Capital attributable to the Limited Partners".

4.16 Equity

Kabel Deutschland Verwaltungs GmbH (KDG Verwaltung) is the general partner of KDVS. KDG Verwaltung is fully owned by KDG.

KDG as the limited partner of KDVS owns a capital share of T€3. The second limited partner, Kabel Deutschland Vertrieb and Service Beteiligungs GmbH & Co KG (KDVS Beteiligung), has no shares and is liable with an amount of T€1.

Considering the right of repayment of the contributed capital by the limited partners, as of April 1, 2004, the limited partnership capital (T€2), the capital reserve (T€293,823) and accumulated deficit (T€1,062,175) were adjusted to capital attributable to the limited partners (T€1,356,000) in accordance with IAS 32 and IFRS 1.36A.

As of April 1, 2005, KDG transferred the entire assets and liabilities of 4 sub-divisions to KDVS. In relation to this transaction the Limited Partnership Capital increased from T€2 to T€3.

Capital reserve

On October 8, 2003, KSH which was merged into KDG as of January 1, 2004, contributed a loan receivable of T€48,000 to the capital account of MSG.

F-120

On March 25, 2004, LuxCo contributed its loan receivable of T€140,097 from KDVS to the capital reserve of KDG. On March 26, 2004, in a second step, KDG contributed this partner's loan to the capital account of KDVS.

On July 2, 2004, KDG made a capital contribution of T€475,000 to KDVS. On November 19, 2004, KDVS' limited partner KDG withdrew capital of T€475,000.

In connection of the transfer of four KDG- sub-divisions to KDVS the difference between the underlying assets and liabilities (T€4,361) and the increase in Limited Partnership Capital (T€1) increased the capital reserve by T€4,360.

For the years ended March 31, 2008, March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006, other additions relate to share-based payments of T€656, T€3,151 and T€7,938, respectively resulting from the repurchase of interests granted under the Group's interest programs and the repurchase of interests granted by the Group for exercised options the Group's option programs. Additionally, due to interests granted under the MEP IV interest program, the capital reserve decreased by T€3,469 as of March 31, 2008 (prior year: T€0, for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006: T€0).

Cash flow hedge reserve

Changes in the fair value of the currency cash flow hedges are recognized directly in equity under cash flow hedge reserve. The accumulated amount is released to profit or loss insofar the hedged transaction affects profit or loss of the year.

Available-for-sale reserve

Changes in the fair value of financial assets classified as available-for-sale are recognized directly in equity under available-for-sale reserve.

Accumulated loss

For the fiscal years ended March 31, 2008, March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006, the net loss was T€229,822, T€430,038 and T€45,015, respectively.

Included in this amount are loans granted to Cayman Cable Holding L.P. in its capacity as parent of the group in the amount of T€13,504 as of March 31, 2008 repayable on March 2016. The granted loans are classified as transactions with parents and therefore included in Equity.

5. Other Notes

5.1 Other Financial Obligations and Contingencies

Leasing and Rental Obligations

KDVS has entered into several long-term service agreements with DTAG as well as its subsidiary T-Systems International GmbH. These agreements include but are not limited to usage and access agreements for underground cable ducts, fiber optic cables, co-location facilities and energy. The agreements have primarily fixed prices, either based on a monthly or unit basis, and are valid for up to thirty years. However, KDVS can terminate the agreements with a notice period of 12 to 24 months.

F-121

The financial obligations as of March 31, 2008, March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006 include the obligations arising due to the earliest possible termination date of KDVS and are as follows:

			March 31, 2008 Due				March 31, 2007 Due

Total	286,414	383,032	47,719	717,165

The lease payments for cable ducts are T€103,492, T€103,450 and T€103,928 for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2008, March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006, respectively. While the Group has the legal right to cancel the agreements for the lease of the cable ducts with a notice period of 12 - 24 months, the technological requirements to replace leased capacity represent economic penalties which would result in the reasonably assured renewal of the leases for a certain period of time. Management expects that for 30% of the leased capacity the economic penalties will require renewal of the contracts for 15 years, when the Group believes it will have the ability to replace the capacity. This results in a non-cancelable lease term of 15 years for this portion of the leased cable ducts. For the remaining 70%, the lease term is expected to include all renewal periods under the agreement, resulting in a non-cancelable lease term of 30 years through March 31, 2033, after which time the lease can be cancelled at the option of DTAG. As of March 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 the total financial obligations for cable ducts amounted to T€2,116,935, T€2,220,200 and T€2,323,465, respectively.

In the fiscal years ended March 31, 2008, March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006, KDVS had leasing expenses amounting to T€167,890, T€176,058 and T€173,783, respectively.

The increase of other financial obligations in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008 related to the purchase agreement with Orion Cable signed during the fiscal year. The Group refers to Section 5.7.

Contingencies

On December 16, 2003, KDVS received notice from Arbeitsgemeinschaft Kabel (ARGE Kabel), a copyright collection agency representing three collecting societies (GVL, VG Wort, VG Bild-Kunst), which indicated that the Group could owe up to approximately T€3,000. This represents 40% of the amount paid to VG Media for copyright fees for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003. The Group believes these fees should be paid by GEMA and VG Media as a condition to certain agreements between these two collecting societies and the Group. Therefore the Group has refused to make the

F-122

payment. In September 2007, the Munich Regional Court dismissed the claim. However, ARGE Kabel filed its appeal with the Munich Higher Regional Court. The proceedings in the second instance are still pending but Management believes the lower court ruling will be confirmed.

General Risks

In the course of its business activities, the Group faces general economic risks due to relationships with customers, suppliers and employees. In addition, general risks exist regarding obligations under legal and tax authorities. Currently there are no proceedings related to these risks.

5.2 Related Parties

In accordance with IAS 24, persons or companies which are in control of or controlled by KDVS must be disclosed, unless they are already included as consolidated companies in KDVS' consolidated financial statements. Control exists if a shareholder owns more than one half of the voting rights in KDVS or, by virtue of an agreement, has the power to control the financial and operating policies of KDVS' management.

The disclosure requirements under IAS 24 also extend to transactions with associated companies as well as transactions with persons who have significant influence on KDVS' financial and operating policies, including close family members and intermediate entities.

Most of the significant contracts with associated companies are signal delivery agreements concluded in the ordinary course of business.

According to the partnership agreement KDVS has a regular annual payment of T€3 to Kabel Deutschland Verwaltungs GmbH for representing the partnership and performing its obligations under the partnership agreement.

Between KDVS Group and its shareholder KDG the following transactions should be recognized:

In an arrangement dated July 14, 2004 and with economic effectiveness as of January 1, 2004, KDG contributed the business of the former DKS to KDBSB in return for new shares.

KDG then contributed the shares in KDBSB to KDVS in return for an increase in its capital share. KDVS then contributed the shares in KDBSB to MSG in return for new shares. KDBSB was then merged into MSG.

In a spin-off arrangement dated August 3, 2004, the KDVS (old) transferred its operations with economic effect as of January 1, 2004, to Kabel Asset GmbH & Co. KG in return for shares pursuant to Sec. 123 (3) UmwG (Umwandlungsgesetz: German Law of Reorganizations). The spin-off was carried out in accordance with the cost method, i.e. at the prevailing fair value. The new shares issued under the spin-off were also recognized by the KDVS (old) at the prevailing value. After the spin-off was entered in the commercial register on August 25, 2004, the KDVS (old) merged into KDG by way of collapse merger. This collapse merger was disclosed by KDG in accordance with the book value method.

On July 2, 2004 KDG made a capital contribution of T€475,000 to KDVS. On November 19, 2004, KDVS' limited partner KDG withdrew capital in an amount of T€475,000.

As of July 29, 2005 (effective April 1, 2005) KDG and KDVS signed aAusgliederungs- und Übernahmevertrag (spinoff and acquisition agreement) for KDG`s operating units "Central Marketing", "Central Sales", "Product Management" and "Corporate Services". KDG transferred all of these units with all the belonging assets and liabilities at their book values as of March 31, 2005 in exchange for an increase in the limited partnership capital of €1 thousand and additional paid in capital in the amount of €4,360 thousand.

The acquired assets consisted mainly of licences (€2,544 thousand), property and equipment (€2,423 thousand), receivables from affiliates (€10,693 thousand) and other assets (€1,575 thousand).

F-124

The acquired liabilities consisted mainly of provision for pensions (€616 thousand), other provisions and trade payable (€12,806 thousand).

Goods and services purchased mainly relate to cost allocations for management services provided by KDG to its operating subsidiaries. The year-on-year increase is mainly the result of increased cost allocations for Management Services due to the launch of "Kabel Digital". Management Services are allocated to general and administrative expenses in the amount of T€28,418 (prior year: T€21,914; period ending March 31, 2005: T€30,146).

In the fiscal years ended March 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 KDVS received Management fees in the amount of T€725, T€1,435 and T€1,293, respectively, for rental expenses from KDG.

Related Party Guarantees

On July 2, 2004 KDG issued senior notes with a nominal value of T€250,000 as well as senior notes with a nominal value of TUSD 610,000, both with a maturity date in 2014 (2014 Senior Notes). The outstanding loan amount is due and payable on July 1, 2014. The 2014 Senior Notes are senior liabilities that rank pari passu with all existing and future liabilities of KDG. The 2014 Senior Notes are secured by a second-ranking lien on the shares held by KDG in KDVS.

KDVS itself is the guarantor of the KDG's debt. The Guarantee is a senior subordinated obligation of KDVS and ranks junior in right of payment to all of its existing and future unsubordinated debt. The Guarantee will rank senior to all existing and future obligations of KDVS expressly subordinated to the Guarantee. The Guarantee is effectively subordinated in right of payment to all of KDVS' existing and future secured debt (including under the Senior Credit Facilities), to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt, and to all liabilities of any subsidiary of KDVS.

Transactions with Members of the Management Board

The Group is presented by its general partner Kabel Deutschland Verwaltungs GmbH. The Management equals to the one of KDG and therefore payments to the management board are made by KDG directly.

Management received short-term employee benefits in the amount of T€3,594 , T€3,871 and T€3,129 as well as post-employment benefits in the amount of T€300, T€383 and T€377 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006, respectively.

Additionally management participates in the Group's Management Equity Participation Program and is holding interests in the Cayman Cable Holding L.P. of 1.05% upon which they have received non-cash share-based payments due to changes in the measurement of the carrying amount of the underlying interests in the fiscal year ending March 31, 2008 in the amount of T€3,451. Cash paid for the repurchase of interests from former members of Management totaled T€7,557 during the period ended March 31, 2008. During the fiscal year ending March 31, 2007, non-cash share-based payments to members of the Management amounted to T€15,913. In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006, Management has not received any share-based payments due a negative change in the carrying amount of the underlying interests. Cash paid for the repurchase of interests from Management totaled T€5,159 during the period ended March 31, 2006.

In total, management received remuneration in the amount of T€14,902, T€20,167 and T€8,665 for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2008, March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006, respectively.

5.3 Share-Based Payments

Management Equity Participation (MEP) Programs

At March 31, 2008, the Group has five Management Equity Participation Programs (MEP I, MEP II, MEP III, MEP IV and MEP V) in place. MEP I provides direct and indirect—via Kabel Management Beteiligungs GbR—ownership in Cayman Cable Holding L.P., the parent company of KDG and LuxCo. MEP II and III provide options in Cayman Cable Holding L.P. interests. MEP IV is split into an interest program providing indirect—via Kabel Management Beteiligungs- (MEP IV) GbR—ownership in Cayman Cable Holding L.P. and an option program providing options in Cayman Cable Holding L.P. interests. MEP V also provides options in Cayman Cable Holding L.P. interests. Certain employees (including senior executives) of the Group receive remuneration in the form of share-based payment transactions.

MEP I

In the fiscal year ending March 31, 2008, no members of KDVS Management participate in the Cayman Cable Holding L.P. directly as limited partners (the Direct Management Equity Program I—direct MEP I). Certain members participate indirectly through interests in Kabel Management Beteiligungs GbR, a separate partnership which is itself a limited partner in Cayman Cable Holding L.P. (the Indirect Management Equity Program I—indirect MEP I). The terms of both programs are substantially the same.

On February 11, 2004, Cayman Cable Holding G.P. Co. Ltd. (the general partner) and the limited partners of the Partnership entered into a second amended and restated limited partnership agreement. This agreement sets forth the structure relating to the governance and ownership of the Partnership and the terms of the direct MEP I. Under the direct MEP I, certain members of Management were admitted to the Partnership as limited partners holding common interests in the Partnership. Other members of Management were admitted to the Program through ownership in Kabel Management Beteiligungs GbR, a limited partner in the Partnership holding common interests in the Partnership.

The members both of the direct MEP I and indirect MEP I were required to pay a capital contribution upon admission. The direct MEP I and the indirect MEP I members, respectively, have financed up to 70% of the members' contributions with a loan from the Partnership.

Interest accrues on such loans at a rate of 5.5% per annum, compounded annually, and is repayable in accordance with an amortization schedule in the relevant agreement. The members are entitled to proceeds of gains resulting from the sale of shares in LuxCo by Cayman L.P. With these proceeds the granted loans were repaid.

F-126

Put or call provisions apply to the members' Partnership interests in the event that such member cease to be employed by KDVS or its subsidiaries.

As of April 19, 2006, Cayman Cable Holding L.P. agreed to assume obligations under PIK-Notes issued by P4 Cayman Cable Ltd. As a result of that, the Partnership decided to adjust the number of interests to reflect the decrease in the value of MEP I members shares resulting in the issue of additional interests to the MEP I holders. The number of interests additionally issued as adjustment without any consideration was 8,313 in the direct MEP I and 97,804 in the indirect MEP I.

During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, 4 1,986 interests in Cayman Cable Holding L.P. were sold by members of the indirect MEP I. These interests were repurchased by Cayman Cable Holding L.P. at an average price of €14.66 per interest. Since Cayman Cable Holding L.P. repurchased these interests for cash and has not required KDVS to fund the repurchase, the liabilities related to these interests have been treated as a contribution from the parent when settled, resulting in an additional increase in capital reserve of T€616.

One member of MEP I was reallocated from KDVS to KDG due to a change in its responsibilities, resulting in a decrease of the number of MEP I interests to be recognized by the Group of 209,930.

Grant date

Number of interests granted

As of March 31, 2008, Management holds indirect interests of 0.04% in the Cayman Cable Holding L.P. The total consideration paid for these interests amount to T€30.

Measurement

Under the indirect MEP I as of November 27, 2003, the fair value of the interests in Kabel Management Beteiligungs GbR, which is valued by the fair value of its contribution in the Cayman Cable Holding L.P. amounts to T€616.

F-127

partners and are documented in the partnership agreement (third amendment). Effective April 19, 2006 and in connection with the 5^th amendment to the limited partnership agreement, the controlling shareholders of Cayman Cable modified the settlement terms of MEP I interests in Cayman Cable Holding L.P to change the settlement formula from an EBITDA formula with fixed multiples to a fair value based model. The difference between repurchase obligation as computed at each reporting date and the consideration for the interests is accounted for as personnel expense. This amount is recognized over a vesting period of four years commencing at grant date using the accelerated recognition method in accordance with IFRS 2 whereby 25% are vested at each anniversary. Therefore the program is split into 4 different layers, for which fair value is calculated at each reporting date. As of March 31, 2008, March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006 T€1,402, T€4,030 and T€517 included in the valuation of other liabilities, have been vested. Included in these amounts is the contribution made by the members of MEP I since such contributions are a liability in case of the sale of the interests. Due to changes in the fair value of the interests and due to additional vesting the Group recognized an increase in expenses and an increase in other liabilities for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008 in the amount of T€415 (prior year (including the change from a formula based price to a fair value based price): T€4,392). In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, no changes in personnel expense due to the sale of interests have been recognized (prior year: decrease of T€352).

MEP II and III

MEP II and MEP III are option programs that differ in the exercise price only. Under these programs, the participants were granted options on interests in the Cayman Cable Holding L.P.

As of April 19, 2006, Cayman Cable Holding L.P. agreed to assume obligations under PIK-Notes issued by P4 Cayman Cable Ltd. As a result of this equity restructuring, the Partnership adjusted the number of options to reflect the decrease in value of the underlying interests resulting in the issuance of additional options to the MEP II and III holders. The number of options issued for that adjustment was 34,950 in MEP III. No additional options were issued to employees of the Group in MEP II. At the same time, the strike price for the options was adjusted by the same proportion to keep the total strike price constant. The value of the total outstanding options before and after this adjustment was the same.

Number of options granted

As of March 31, 2008, in total 62,985 options have been granted to the participants in MEP III representing a 0.06% interest in the Cayman Cable Holding L.P. The increase in the number of options granted compared to March 31, 2007 is due to the change of responsibilities of one member of MEP III from KDG to KDVS. This change resulted in a reallocation of 20,995 options.

Grant date and terms

The maximum term of the options is ten years after grant date. The options will be forfeited if they are not exercised. The weighted average remaining life of the options is 1.75 years as of March 31, 2008.

On April 19, 2006, Cayman Cable Holding L.P. granted the holders of existing an additional year vesting. As a result, the vested part of those options within MEP III increased by 25% in addition to the scheduled vesting.

F-128

Method and extent of exercise

The options will become immediately vested and exercisable upon any of the following events:

•: the date of completion of the sale, or disposal in any other manner, of all or substantially all of the business and assets of the Cayman Cable Holding L.P. and its subsidiaries (Group) to a third party purchaser;
•: the effective date of a public offering of the shares in KDG and their shareholders (Group) companies representing substantially all of the business.

The general partner may decide that, instead of procuring the issue or transfer of interests in Cayman Cable Holding L.P. (LP interests) on exercise of an option that it will:

•: pay to the option holder (after deduction of any taxes, social security contributions duties or other expenses) a cash amount equal to the difference between the market value of the LP interests which would otherwise be issued or transferred and the exercise price for those LP interests; or
•: transfer to the option holder a number of the shares of any Group company which has a market value equal the difference between the market value of the LP interests which would otherwise be issued or transferred and the exercise price for those LP interests; or
•: transfer to the option holder a number of the shares which are admitted to listing which has a market value of the difference between the market value of the LP Interests which would otherwise be issued or transferred and the exercise price for those LP interests.

Any other transfer of options is restricted to certain limited options (e.g. ceasing employment). Any transfer of an option otherwise than permitted in this program would cause the option to lapse.

For MEP II and III the Group recognized compensation expense and a corresponding increase in other liabilities in the amount of T€192 in fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, of which the entire amount has vested. None of the options granted have been cancelled since granting. Therefore, all options shown are outstanding as of year end March 31, 2008 all of which have vested.

Indirect MEP IV

Put or call provisions apply to the members' Partnership interests in the event that such member ceases to be employed by KDG GmbH or its subsidiaries.

The total number of interests in Kabel Management Beteiligungs- (MEP IV) GbR issued under the Indirect MEP IV amounts to 289,084. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, none of these interests were sold by the respective members.

Grant date

F-130

Measurement

Under the indirect MEP IV as of March 29, 2007, the fair value of the interests at March 31, 2008 amounts to T€4,238.

As for the MEP I, the carrying amount of the repurchase obligation related to vested MEP IV interests at each reporting date is measured based on discounted cash flow models. This amount is recognized over a vesting period of four years commencing at grant date using the accelerated recognition method in accordance with IFRS 2 whereby 25% are vested at each anniversary. Therefore the program is split into 4 different layers, for which fair value is calculated at each reporting date. As of March 31, 2008, T€3,870 have vested. The liability was recorded in other liabilities. Included in these amounts is the contribution made by the members of indirect MEP IV since such contributions are a liability in case of the sale of the interests. Due to changes in the fair value of the interests and due to additional vesting, the Group recognized an increase in expenses and an increase in other liabilities for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008 in the amount of T€401.

5.4 Financial Instruments

KDVS is exposed to market risks from changes in interest rates and currency exchange rates which can impact its operating results and overall financial condition. KDVS manages its exposure to these market risks through its operating and financing activities and, when deemed appropriate or required by other agreements, through hedging strategies that utilize derivative financial instruments. The main strategy is to avoid or to mitigate risks, e.g. currency risk by entering in currency swaps or the risk of variable interest payments by entering into interest rate swaps and buying caps. Derivative instruments are only used to hedge existing or prospective transactions.

Of KDVS' financial instruments, only the interest swaps bear a fair value interest rate risk, whereas the money market funds and the bank loans bear cash flow interest rate risks.

The Group has incurred debt that is denominated in various currencies, primarily via bond issues and bank borrowings. As a result, KDVS is exposed to risks from changes in interest rates and exchange rates.

F-134

As of the balance sheet date, derivative financial instruments consisted of the following:

	March 31, 2008	March 31, 2007	March 31, 2006
	T€	T€	T€
Interest Rate Swaps

Total	151,843	175,797	198,460
Total	607,371	703,188	793,839

The nominal volume is the sum total of all purchase and sale amounts of the interest rate derivatives. The nominal amounts are equal to the volume of the hedged items.

Interest Rate Swaps and Caps

Approximately T€1,037,500 borrowed under the Group's initial senior loan facility in 2003 was used to fund the acquisition of the cable television business. The interest rate volatility related to these outstanding loans was mitigated with a combination of interest rate swaps and caps at the time the bank loans were incurred. The loans were extended by the lending banks subject to the condition that the Group would enter into appropriate interest rate swaps and interest caps.

With the interest rate swaps, the variable interest rates (EURIBOR) on KDVS' bank loans were effectively exchanged for a fixed interest rate of 4.0495% per annum. KDVS initially entered into interest rate swaps with a notional amount of T€778,125 which will be amortized until 2015. These swaps entitle KDVS to receive a payment from the counterparty if the variable market interest rate exceeds the fixed interest rate, and oblige KDVS to make a payment to the counterparty if the fixed interest rate exceeds the variable market interest rate. These types of agreements are entered into to effectively convert the interest rates on a portion of KDVS' long-term liabilities to banks from variable to fix. In 2003, KDVS also purchased interest rate caps with a cap level of 4.2% per annum with a notional amount of T€259,375 which will be amortized until 2015. These caps entitle KDVS to receive a payment from the counterparty equal to the excess, if any, of the hypothetical interest expense on a specified notional amount at a current market interest rate over an amount specified in the agreement.

In September 2004, KDVS restructured its interest rate swaps and caps. The restructured derivatives now mature June 2009 compared to the original maturity, and the effective interest rate on the swaps was reduced from 4.0495% to 3.705% as of September 29, 2004.

Credit Risk

F-135

any collateral or other credit enhancements, the carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum exposure to credit risk.

Impairment losses are recognized for any credit risks associated with the financial assets. The credit risk associated with derivative financial instruments is minimized in that only counterparties with top credit ratings are selected. For this reason, the general credit risk relating to the derivatives used by the Group is not considered to be significant. No concentration of credit risks from business relations with individual debtors is evident.

Interest Rate Risk

KDVS' interest payment risk is mitigated by the derivatives described. As of year-end 2008, 2007 and 2006, all of the interest-bearing liabilities are due in 5 years, which is why the interest rate derivative structure is long term.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk represents the risk that liquidity reserves will prove to be insufficient to meet financial obligations in a timely manner. In order to ensure liquidity the Group has unused Senior Credit Facilities and other lines of credit amounting to T€909,000, T€200,000 and T€50,000 at March 31, 2008, March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006, respectively. In the fiscal year 2008 an amount of T€650,000 is included which relates to the Senior Add-on-Facility.

Capital management

The primary objective of the Group's capital management is to ensure that it maintains a strong credit rating to reduce risks from its highly leveraged financing structure.

This is monitored using the debt covenants of the Senior Credit Facility and the indenture of the Senior Notes.

The Group's ability to make payments and to refinance its debt, and to fund future operations and capital expenditures, will depend on future operating performance and the ability to generate sufficient cash. Accordingly the Group manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it, in light of changes in economic conditions.

The carrying amounts of the Group's cash and cash equivalents, money market funds, trade receivables and payables, short-term loans, as well as other current liabilities, in view of their short terms as of March 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006, are effectively equal to their fair values as they have interest rates based on variable interest rates that change in line with the market. Using a discounted cash flow analysis based on the current lending rate for an identical loan term, the fair value of the Group's long-term, fixed-rate liabilities is estimated as the net present value of future payments, using yield curves obtained by banks and money market observations. Due to the complexity inherent in such

F-139

an estimate, the estimate may not necessarily reflect actual market values. Different market assessments or procedures may therefore significantly influence the fair value estimate.

The carrying amount of the Senior Term Facility materially approximates its fair value. With respect to the carrying amounts of the financial assets and liabilities please refer to the respective sections in the Notes.

Prior to March 31, 2007 the Group previously assessed hedge effectiveness of an interest rate swap in a cash flow hedge by applying the "change in variable cash flow method". Following the publication in the March 2007 IFRIC update of the IFRIC Agenda decision on "IAS 39Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement—Assessing hedge effectiveness of an interest rate swap in a cash flow

F-140

hedge" the Group has reconsidered its accounting treatment applied to those transactions and decided to adopt the treatment set out in the IFRIC agenda decision. Accordingly, the Group had adjusted its financial statements as of March 31, 2007 and comparative periods to reflect the fact that hedge accounting has no longer been historically applied and has, therefore, recorded all changes in fair value of the interest rate swap through profit and loss. This change in accounting treatment has been accounted for retroactively. This adjustment resulted in a decrease in other comprehensive income of T€8,320, a decrease in interest expense of T€13,682 and an increase in deferred tax expense of T€5,362 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006.

Sensitivity analysis

KDVS prepares sensitivity analysis that shows how net income and equity would have been affected by changes in the relevant market risk variables that were reasonably possible at the reporting date.

Interest rate risks result from the variable interest rates (EURIBOR) on KDVS' bank loans and are hedged with interest rate swaps and caps that are accounted for at fair value through profit or loss. In determining the sensitivity concerning interest rate risks the fair values for interest rate swaps and caps were calculated based on the hypothetical market interest rates with the resulting effects on net income and equity. The effect of interest rate changes on interest expense for bank loans with variable interest rates is calculated based on the risk exposure at the balance sheet date. Under this approach and assuming constant foreign exchange rate the interest rate sensitivity is as follows.

	Effect on net income and equity
	Parallel increase of the interest curve of 100 basis points		Parallel decrease of the interest curve of 100 basis points
