OTHER INFORMATION.................................................................... 57 TIME WARNER INC. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS Time Warner Inc. ("Time Warner" or the "Company") is the world's leading media and entertainment company. Time Warner's principal business objective is to create and distribute branded information and entertainment copyrights throughout the world. Time Warner classifies its business interests into six fundamental areas: Cable Networks, consisting principally of interests in cable television programming; Publishing, consisting principally of interests in magazine publishing, book publishing and direct marketing; Music, consisting principally of interests in recorded music and music publishing; Filmed Entertainment, consisting principally of interests in filmed entertainment, television production and television broadcasting; Cable, consisting principally of interests in cable television systems; and Digital Media, consisting principally of interests in Internet-related and digital media businesses. INVESTMENT IN TWE A majority of Time Warner's interests in filmed entertainment, television production, television broadcasting and cable television systems, and a portion of its interests in cable television programming and digital media, are held through Time Warner Entertainment Company, L.P. ("TWE"). Time Warner owns general and limited partnership interests in TWE consisting of 74.49% of the pro rata priority capital ("Series A Capital") and residual equity capital ("Residual Capital"), and 100% of the junior priority capital. The remaining 25.51% limited partnership interests in the Series A Capital and Residual Capital of TWE are held by a subsidiary of MediaOne Group, Inc. ("MediaOne"), which was acquired by AT&T Corp. ("AT&T") on June 15, 2000. The 1999 financial statements reflect the consolidation of TWE and certain related companies (referred to as the Entertainment Group), retroactive to the beginning of 1999. USE OF EBITA Time Warner evaluates operating performance based on several factors, including its primary financial measure of operating income before noncash amortization of intangible assets ("EBITA"). Consistent with management's financial focus on controlling capital spending, EBITA measures operating performance after charges for depreciation. In addition, EBITA eliminates the uneven effect across all business segments of considerable amounts of noncash amortization of intangible assets recognized in business combinations accounted for by the purchase method. These business combinations include the $14 billion acquisition of Warner Communications Inc. in 1989, the $6.2 billion acquisition of Turner Broadcasting System, Inc. ("TBS") in 1996 and the $2.3 billion of cable acquisitions in 1996 and 1995, which created over $25 billion of intangible assets that generally are being amortized over a twenty to forty year period. The exclusion of noncash amortization charges is also consistent with management's belief that Time Warner's intangible assets, such as cable television and sports franchises, music catalogues and copyrights, film and television libraries and the goodwill associated with its brands, generally are increasing in value and importance to Time Warner's business objective of creating, extending and distributing recognizable brands and copyrights throughout the world. As such, the following comparative discussion of the results of operations of Time Warner includes, among other factors, an analysis of changes in business segment EBITA. However, EBITA should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, operating income, net income and other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. 1 TIME WARNER INC. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION--(CONTINUED) TRANSACTIONS AFFECTING COMPARABILITY OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS As more fully described herein, the comparability of Time Warner's operating results has been affected by certain significant transactions and nonrecurring items in each period. For 2000, the significant, nonrecurring items included (i) net pretax gains of approximately $28 million recognized in the first quarter and net pretax losses of approximately $7 million recognized in the second quarter relating to the sale or exchange of various cable television systems and investments, (ii) a $50 million pretax charge in the second quarter relating to the Six Flags Entertainment Corporation ("Six Flags") litigation, (iii) a pretax gain of $10 million in the first quarter relating to the partial recognition of a deferred gain on the 1998 sale of Six Flags, (iv) transaction costs of approximately $46 million recognized in the first quarter and approximately $31 million recognized in the second quarter relating to Time Warner's proposed merger with America Online, Inc. ("America Online"), (v) a noncash pretax charge of approximately $220 million recognized in the first quarter relating to the write-down of Time Warner's carrying value of its investment in the Columbia House Company Partnerships ("Columbia House"), a 50%-owned equity investee and (vi) a noncash, after-tax charge of $443 million in the first quarter reflecting the cumulative effect of an accounting change in connection with the adoption of a new film accounting standard. For 1999, the significant, nonrecurring items included (i) net pretax gains of approximately $771 million recognized in the second quarter relating to the sale or exchange of various cable television systems and investments, (ii) a pretax gain of $10 million recognized in each of the first and second quarters relating to the partial recognition of a deferred gain on the 1998 sale of Six Flags, (iii) an approximate $215 million pretax gain recognized in the first quarter in connection with the early termination and settlement of a long-term, home video distribution agreement and (iv) a net pretax gain of approximately $115 million recognized in the second quarter relating to the initial public offering of a 20% interest in Time Warner Telecom Inc. (the "Time Warner Telecom IPO"), an integrated communications provider that provides a wide range of telephony and data services to businesses. In order to meaningfully assess underlying operating trends, management believes that the results of operations for each period should be analyzed after excluding the effects of these significant nonrecurring items. As such, the following discussion and analysis focuses on amounts and trends adjusted to exclude the impact of these unusual items. However, unusual items may occur in any period. Accordingly, investors and other financial statement users individually should consider the types of events and transactions for which adjustments have been made. In addition to the above significant and nonrecurring items, the comparability of Time Warner's Publishing segment results has been affected by the deconsolidation of Book-of-the-Month Club after its operations were contributed to a joint venture with Doubleday Direct, Inc. ("Doubleday"), a leading consumer book club group owned by Bertelsmann AG, as discussed in Note 2 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements. While this transaction had a significant effect on the comparability of the Publishing segment's EBITA and operating income, it did not have a significant effect on the comparability of Time Warner's net income and per share results. 2 TIME WARNER INC. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION--(CONTINUED) RESULTS OF OPERATIONS EBITA and operating income are as follows: THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, -------------------------------- --------------------------------- EBITA OPERATING INCOME EBITA OPERATING INCOME -------------------------------- --------------------------------- 2000 1999(a) 2000 1999(a) 2000 1999(a) 2000 1999(a) ---- ------- ---- ------- ---- ------- ---- ------- (MILLIONS) Cable Networks..................... $ 422 $ 366 $369 $ 315 $ 786 $ 675 $ 680 $ 574 Publishing(b)...................... 226 196 213 186 343 290 317 270 Music.............................. 109 98 47 33 189 187 68 60 Filmed Entertainment(c)............ 175 203 125 153 360 578 260 478 Broadcasting-The WB Network........

Accordingly, segment operating results for 1999 have been reclassified to conform to the 2000 presentation. (b) 1999 results include losses from Book-of-the-Month Club, which was deconsolidated in 2000 after its operations were contributed to a joint venture with Doubleday. Equity losses for 2000 are classified in interest and other, net. During the three months ended June 30, 1999, the Publishing segment's operating results included EBITA losses of $3 million and operating losses of $4 million relating to Book-of-the-Month Club. During the six months ended June 30, 1999, the Publishing segment's operating results included EBITA losses of $12 million and operating losses of $14 million relating to Book-of-the-Month Club. (c) Includes a pretax charge of $24 million recognized in the second quarter of 2000 in connection with the Six Flags litigation, a pretax gain of $10 million related to the partial recognition of a deferred gain in connection with the 1998 sale of Six Flags recognized in the first quarter of 2000 and in each of the first and second quarters of 1999 and a pretax gain of approximately $215 million recognized in the first quarter of 1999 relating to the early termination and settlement of a long-term, home video distribution agreement. (d) Includes net pretax losses related to the sale or exchange of certain cable television systems and investments of approximately $7 million in the second quarter of 2000 and net pretax gains of approximately $771 million in 1999. Similarly, six-month results include net pretax gains of approximately $21 million in 2000 and approximately $771 million in 1999. THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 CONSOLIDATED RESULTS Time Warner had revenues of $7.080 billion and net income of $75 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000, compared to revenues of $6.531 billion and net income of $593 million for the three months ended June 30, 1999. After preferred dividend requirements, Time Warner had basic and diluted net income per common share of $.05 in 2000, compared to basic net income of $.46 per common share and diluted net income of $.43 per common share in 1999. As previously described, the comparability of Time Warner's operating results for 2000 and 1999 has been affected by certain significant, nonrecurring items recognized in each period. These nonrecurring items aggregated approximately $88 million of net pretax losses in 2000, compared to $896 million of net pretax gains in 1999. The aggregate net effect of these items was to decrease basic and diluted net income per common share by $.06 in 2000 and to increase basic net income per common share by $.35 and diluted net income per common share by $.32 in 1999. Time Warner's net income decreased to $75 million in 2000, compared to $593 million in 1999. However, excluding the significant effect of the nonrecurring items referred to earlier, net income decreased by $14 million to $143 million in 2000 from $157 million in 1999. As discussed more fully below, this decrease principally resulted from higher interest expense principally due to higher market interest rates on variable-rate debt and higher losses from certain investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting, offset in part by an overall increase in Time Warner's 3 TIME WARNER INC. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION--(CONTINUED) business segment operating income. Normalized basic and diluted net income per common share, excluding the effect of significant nonrecurring items, was $.11 in both 2000 and 1999. The relationship between income before income taxes and income tax expense of Time Warner is principally affected by the amortization of goodwill and certain other financial statement expenses that are not deductible for income tax purposes. BUSINESS SEGMENT RESULTS Cable Networks. Revenues increased to $1.769 billion in 2000, compared to $1.611 billion in 1999. EBITA increased to $422 million in 2000 from $366 million in 1999. Operating income increased to $369 million in 2000 from $315 million in 1999. Revenues grew due to increases at both the Turner cable networks group and HBO. For the Turner cable networks group, revenues benefited from increases in advertising and subscription revenues, partially offset by lower revenues at World Championship Wrestling. The increase in advertising revenues was principally due to a strong overall advertising market for most of the group's networks, including CNN, CNN International, TBS Superstation, TNT and Cartoon Network. The increase in subscription revenues was principally due to an increase in subscriptions and higher rates, primarily led by revenue increases at CNN, CNN International, TBS Superstation, TNT and Turner Classic Movies. For HBO, revenues benefited primarily from an increase in subscriptions. Likewise, EBITA and operating income were higher due to improved results at both the Turner cable networks group and HBO. For the Turner cable networks group, the increase in EBITA and operating income was principally due to the revenue gains, offset in part by higher programming costs and lower results at World Championship Wrestling. In addition, EBITA and operating income for 2000 included a $21 million one-time gain on the sale of an investment. However, this gain did not significantly affect operating trends because it was principally offset by the combination of start-up costs for new cable networks and one-time sports and entertainment programming expenses. For HBO, the increase in EBITA and operating income was principally due to the revenue gains and increased cost savings. Publishing. Revenues increased to $1.196 billion in 2000, compared to $1.153 billion in 1999. EBITA increased to $226 million in 2000 from $196 million in 1999. Operating income increased to $213 million in 2000 from $186 million in 1999. As described further below, the comparability of the Publishing segment's operating results was affected by a transaction in 2000 involving Book-of-the-Month Club. In the first quarter of 2000, the operations of Book-of-the-Month Club were deconsolidated after being contributed to a joint venture with the domestic book club operations of Doubleday. Time Warner is accounting for its interest in the joint venture under the equity method of accounting and Time Warner's equity in the net loss of the joint venture for 2000 is classified in interest and other, net, in the accompanying statement of operations. As such, the Publishing segment's revenue and operating results for 2000 exclude the operations of Book-of-the-Month Club. During the three months ended June 30, 1999, the Publishing segment's operating results included revenues of $81 million, EBITA losses of $3 million and operating losses of $4 million relating to Book-of-the-Month Club. Excluding the 1999 operations of Book-of-the-Month Club, revenues increased primarily from significant growth in magazine advertising revenues. Magazine circulation revenues were flat. The increase in advertising revenues was principally due to a strong overall advertising market for the division's magazines, primarily led by Fortune, In Style, Time and People. Excluding the 1999 operations of Book-of-the-Month Club, EBITA and operating income increased principally as a result of the revenue gains and increased cost savings, including pension-related savings, offset in part by higher start-up costs in 2000 for new magazine launches. 4 TIME WARNER INC. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION--(CONTINUED) Music. Revenues increased to $956 million in 2000, compared to $828 million in 1999. EBITA increased to $109 million in 2000 from $98 million in 1999 after giving effect to the Columbia House reclassification described earlier. Operating income increased to $47 million in 2000 from $33 million in 1999 after giving effect to the Columbia House reclassification. Revenues increased primarily due to higher domestic and international recorded music sales and higher revenues from DVD manufacturing operations. Revenues benefited principally from higher compact disc sales of a broad range of popular releases, including the latest releases from matchbox twenty, Kid Rock and the Red Hot Chili Peppers. EBITA and operating income increased principally as a result of the revenue gains, offset in part by higher marketing and artist royalty costs. Filmed Entertainment. Revenues increased to $1.802 billion in 2000, compared to $1.783 billion in 1999. EBITA, including the negative effect on operating trends of one-time items relating to Six Flags, decreased to $175 million in 2000 from $203 million in 1999. Operating income similarly decreased to $125 million in 2000 from $153 million in 1999 due to the one-time items. Revenues grew primarily due to increases at both Warner Bros. and the Turner filmed entertainment businesses. For Warner Bros., revenues principally benefited from an increase in the distribution of television product, offset in part by lower revenues from the distribution of theatrical product. Warner Bros.'s revenues from the distribution of theatrical product decreased principally due to difficult comparisons to last year's theatrical success of The Matrix and lower revenues from worldwide television exhibition, which more than offset significant increases in DVD and home video sales. Warner Bros.'s revenues from the distribution of television product increased principally due to higher aggregate revenues from broadcast network and syndicated television exhibition, offset in part by lower aggregate revenues from basic cable exhibition. For the Turner filmed entertainment businesses, the revenue gains reflect higher home video and international theatrical revenues, offset in part by lower domestic theatrical revenues due to last year's theatrical success of Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me and lower revenues from television exhibition of theatrical product. Operating results for both periods include one-time items related to Six Flags. The 2000 results include a pretax charge of $24 million relating to the Six Flags litigation. The 1999 results include a pretax gain of $10 million relating to the partial recognition of a deferred gain on the 1998 sale of Six Flags. Excluding the impact of Six Flags, EBITA and operating income were higher due to improved results at Warner Bros., offset in part by decreases at the Turner filmed entertainment businesses. For Warner Bros., EBITA and operating income principally increased as a result of the revenue gains and lower film costs. For the Turner filmed entertainment business, EBITA and operating income were lower principally due to difficult comparisons to last year's theatrical success of Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me. Broadcasting-The WB Network. Revenues increased to $109 million in 2000, compared to $83 million in 1999. EBITA improved to a loss of $21 million in 2000 from a loss of $30 million in 1999. Operating losses decreased to $22 million in 2000 from $31 million in 1999. Revenues increased principally as a result of one additional night of prime-time programming in comparison to the prior year and advertising rate increases, offset in part by lower prime-time television ratings. Prime-time television ratings were negatively affected by lower household delivery associated with the WGN Superstation discontinuing its carriage of The WB Network's programming beginning in the fall of 1999. The EBITA and operating loss improvements were due to the revenue gains, which more than offset higher programming costs associated with the expanded programming schedule. Cable. Revenues increased to $1.502 billion in 2000, compared to $1.330 billion in 1999. EBITA, including the negative effect on operating trends of one-time items recognized in each period, decreased to $455 million in 2000 from $1.180 billion in 1999. Operating income similarly decreased to $300 million in 2000 from $1.046 billion in 1999 due to the one-time items. Revenues increased due to growth in basic cable subscribers, increases in basic cable rates, increases in advertising and pay-per-view revenues and increases from the deployment of digital cable and high-speed online services. The operating results of the Cable segment were affected by net pretax losses of approximately $7 5 TIME WARNER INC. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION--(CONTINUED) million in 2000 and net pretax gains of approximately $771 million in 1999 relating to the sale or exchange of various cable television systems and investments. Excluding the effect of these items, EBITA and operating income increased principally as a result of the revenue gains and pension-related cost savings, offset in part by higher programming costs and higher depreciation related to capital spending. Digital Media. Digital Media had $55 million of operating losses on $22 million of revenues in 2000 principally due to start-up costs associated with Time Warner's digital media businesses. Time Warner's digital media businesses include CNN's interactive news sites, Entertaindom, an advertiser-supported entertainment destination site and magazine, and other entertainment-related websites. Due to the start-up nature of most of these businesses, losses are expected to continue in 2000. Interest and Other, Net. Interest and other, net, increased to $646 million of expense in 2000, compared to $354 million of expense in 1999. Interest expense increased to $424 million in 2000, compared to $369 million in 1999. Interest expense increased principally as a result of higher market interest rates on variable-rate debt and $26 million of additional interest expense recorded in 2000 in connection with the Six Flags litigation. Other, net, increased to an expense of $222 million in 2000 from income of $15 million in 1999. Other expense, net, increased primarily because of transaction costs of approximately $31 million in 2000 relating to Time Warner's proposed merger with America Online, higher losses from certain investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting and the absence in 2000 of an approximate $115 million pretax gain in 1999 in connection with the Time Warner Telecom IPO. Minority Interest. Minority interest expense decreased to $57 million in 2000, compared to $245 million in 1999. The decrease in minority interest expense was principally due to the allocation of a portion of the higher net pretax gains in 1999 relating to the sale or exchange of various cable television systems and investments owned by the TWE-Advance/Newhouse Partnership ("TWE-A/N") to the minority owners of that partnership. Excluding the significant effect of the gains recognized in each period, minority interest expense decreased principally due to a higher allocation of losses in 2000 to a minority partner in The WB Network. SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 CONSOLIDATED RESULTS Time Warner had revenues of $13.644 billion, a loss of $26 million before the cumulative effect of an accounting change and a net loss of $469 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000, compared to revenues of $12.622 billion and net income of $731 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999. After preferred dividend requirements, Time Warner had a basic loss per common share before the cumulative effect of an accounting change of $.03 in 2000, and $.36 after, compared to basic net income of $.56 per common share in 1999. On a diluted basis, Time Warner had a loss per common share before the cumulative effect of an accounting change of $.03 in 2000, and $.36 after, compared to net income of $.54 per common share in 1999. As previously described, the comparability of Time Warner's operating results for 2000 and 1999 has been affected by certain significant, nonrecurring items recognized in each period. These nonrecurring items, excluding the impact of the accounting change, aggregated approximately $316 million of net pretax losses in 2000, compared to $1.121 billion of net pretax gains in 1999. In addition, net income in 2000 was reduced by an after-tax charge of $443 million relating to the cumulative effect of the accounting change. The aggregate net effect of these items was to decrease basic and diluted net income per common share by $.50 in 2000 and to increase basic net income per common share by $.46 and diluted net income per common share by $.44 in 1999. 6 TIME WARNER INC. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION--(CONTINUED) Time Warner had a net loss of $469 million in 2000, compared to net income of $731 million in 1999. However, excluding the significant effect of the nonrecurring items referred to earlier, net income increased by $35 million to $197 million in 2000 from $162 million in 1999. As discussed more fully below, this improvement principally resulted from an overall increase in Time Warner's business segment operating income, offset in part by higher interest expense principally due to higher market interest rates on variable-rate debt and higher losses from investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Similarly, normalized basic and diluted net income per common share, excluding the effect of significant nonrecurring items, increased to $.14 in 2000, compared to $.10 in 1999. The relationship between income before income taxes and income tax expense of Time Warner is principally affected by the amortization of goodwill and certain other financial statement expenses that are not deductible for income tax purposes. BUSINESS SEGMENT RESULTS Cable Networks. Revenues increased to $3.355 billion in 2000, compared to $2.975 billion in 1999. EBITA increased to $786 million in 2000 from $675 million in 1999. Operating income increased to $680 million in 2000 from $574 million in 1999. Revenues grew due to increases at both the Turner cable networks group and HBO. For the Turner cable networks group, revenues benefited from increases in advertising and subscription revenues, partially offset by lower revenues at World Championship Wrestling. The increase in advertising revenues was principally due to a strong overall advertising market for most of the group's networks, including CNN, CNN International, TBS Superstation, TNT and Cartoon Network. The increase in subscription revenues was principally due to an increase in subscriptions and higher rates, primarily led by revenue increases at CNN, CNN International, TBS Superstation, TNT and Turner Classic Movies. For HBO, revenues benefited primarily from an increase in subscriptions. Likewise, EBITA and operating income were higher due to improved results at both the Turner cable networks group and HBO. For the Turner cable networks group, the increase in EBITA and operating income was principally due to the revenue gains, offset in part by higher programming costs and lower results at World Championship Wrestling. In addition, EBITA and operating income for 2000 included a $31 million one-time gain on the sale of an investment. However, this gain did not significantly affect operating trends because it was principally offset by the combination of start-up costs for new cable networks and one-time sports and entertainment programming expenses. For HBO, the increase in EBITA and operating income was principally due to the revenue gains and increased cost savings, offset in part by lower gains from the sale of certain investments. Publishing. Revenues increased to $2.135 billion in 2000, compared to $2.127 billion in 1999. EBITA increased to $343 million in 2000 from $290 million in 1999. Operating income increased to $317 million in 2000 from $270 million in 1999. As previously described, the comparability of the Publishing segment's operating results was affected by the deconsolidation of the operations of Book-of-the-Month Club. As such, the Publishing segment's revenue and operating results for 2000 exclude the operations of Book-of-the-Month Club. During the six months ended June 30, 1999, the Publishing segment's results included revenues of $147 million, EBITA losses of $12 million and operating losses of $14 million relating to Book-of-the-Month Club. Excluding the 1999 operations of Book-of-the-Month Club, revenues increased primarily from significant growth in magazine advertising revenues, offset in part by marginally lower magazine circulation revenues. The increase in advertising revenues was principally due to a strong overall advertising market for the division's magazines, primarily led by Fortune, In Style, Time and People. Excluding the 1999 operations of Book-of-the-Month Club, EBITA and operating income increased principally as a result of the revenue gains and increased cost savings, including pension- 7 TIME WARNER INC. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION--(CONTINUED) related savings. In addition, EBITA and operating income for 2000 included approximately $32 million of gains on the sale of assets. However, those gains did not affect operating trends because they were more than offset by the combination of higher start-up costs in 2000 for new magazine launches, severance costs in 2000 related to certain restructuring efforts and lower gains on the sale of assets recognized in 1999. Music. Revenues increased to $1.873 billion in 2000, compared to $1.764 billion in 1999. EBITA increased to $189 million in 2000 from $187 million in 1999 after giving effect to the Columbia House reclassification described earlier. Operating income increased to $68 million in 2000 from $60 million in 1999 after giving effect to the Columbia House reclassification. Revenues increased primarily due to higher domestic and international recorded music sales and higher revenues from DVD manufacturing operations. Revenues benefited principally from higher compact disc sales of a broad range of popular releases, including the latest releases from matchbox twenty, Kid Rock and the Red Hot Chili Peppers. EBITA and operating income increased principally as a result of the revenue gains, offset in part by higher marketing and artist royalty costs. Filmed Entertainment. Revenues increased to $3.697 billion in 2000, compared to $3.480 billion in 1999. EBITA, including the negative effect on operating trends of one-time items recognized in each period, decreased to $360 million in 2000, compared to $578 million in 1999. Operating income similarly decreased to $260 million in 2000, compared to $478 million in 1999 due to the one-time items. Revenues grew primarily due to increases at both Warner Bros. and the Turner filmed entertainment businesses. For Warner Bros., revenues benefited from increases in the distribution of both theatrical and television product, offset in part by lower revenues from consumer product operations. Warner Bros.'s revenues from the distribution of theatrical product increased principally due to higher worldwide DVD and home video sales, offset in part by lower revenues from worldwide theatrical and television exhibition. Warner Bros.'s revenues from the distribution of television product increased principally due to higher aggregate revenues from basic cable, broadcast network and syndicated television exhibition. For the Turner filmed entertainment businesses, revenues benefited principally from the licensing of library product. Operating results for both periods include one-time items. The 2000 results include a pretax charge of $24 million relating to the Six Flags litigation and a $10 million pretax gain relating to the partial recognition of a deferred gain on the 1998 sale of Six Flags. The 1999 results include pretax gains of $20 million relating to the partial recognition of the deferred gain on the 1998 sale of Six Flags and an approximate $215 million net pretax gain recognized in connection with the early termination and settlement of a long-term, home video distribution agreement. Excluding the effect of these items, EBITA and operating income were higher due to improved results at Warner Bros., offset in part by decreases at the Turner filmed entertainment businesses. For Warner Bros., EBITA and operating income increased principally as a result of the revenue gains and lower film costs, offset in part by lower investment-related income. For the Turner filmed entertainment businesses, EBITA and operating income were lower principally due to difficult comparisons to last year's theatrical success of Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me. Broadcasting-The WB Network. Revenues increased to $211 million in 2000, compared to $162 million in 1999. EBITA improved to a loss of $52 million in 2000 from a loss of $71 million in 1999. Operating losses decreased to $54 million in 2000 from $73 million in 1999. Revenues increased principally as a result of one additional night of prime-time programming in comparison to the prior year and advertising rate increases, offset in part by lower prime-time television ratings. Prime-time television ratings were negatively affected by lower household delivery associated with the WGN Superstation discontinuing its carriage of The WB Network's programming beginning in the fall of 1999. The EBITA and operating loss improvements were due to the revenue gains, which more than offset higher programming costs associated with the expanded programming schedule. 8 TIME WARNER INC. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION--(CONTINUED) Cable. Revenues increased to $2.949 billion in 2000, compared to $2.626 billion in 1999. EBITA, including the negative effect on operating trends of significantly higher one-time net gains in 1999, decreased to $940 million in 2000 from $1.583 billion in 1999. Operating income similarly decreased to $631 million in 2000 from $1.316 billion in 1999 due to the one-time net gains. Revenues increased due to growth in basic cable subscribers, increases in basic cable rates, increases in advertising revenues and the deployment of digital cable and high-speed online services. The operating results of the Cable segment were affected by net pretax gains of approximately $21 million in 2000 and approximately $771 million in 1999 relating to the sale or exchange of various cable television systems and investments. Excluding the effect of these items, EBITA and operating income increased principally as a result of the revenue gains and pension-related cost savings, offset in part by higher programming costs and higher depreciation related to capital spending. Digital Media. Digital Media had $85 million of operating losses on $24 million of revenues in 2000 principally due to start-up costs associated with Time Warner's digital media businesses. Time Warner's digital media businesses include CNN's interactive news sites, Entertaindom, an advertiser-supported entertainment destination site, and magazine and other entertainment-related websites. Due to the start-up nature of most of these businesses, losses are expected to continue in 2000. Interest and Other, Net. Interest and other, net, increased to $1.454 billion of expense in 2000, compared to $860 million of expense in 1999. Interest expense increased to $822 million in 2000, compared to $735 million in 1999. Interest expense increased principally as a result of higher market interest rates on variable-rate debt and $26 million of additional interest expense recorded in 2000 in connection with the Six Flags litigation. Other expense, net, increased to $632 million in 2000 from $125 million in 1999. Other expense, net, increased primarily because of a $220 million noncash pretax charge in 2000 to reduce the carrying value of Time Warner's investment in Columbia House, transaction costs of approximately $77 million in 2000 relating to Time Warner's proposed merger with America Online, higher losses from certain investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting and the absence in 2000 of an approximate $115 million pretax gain in 1999 in connection with the Time Warner Telecom IPO. Minority Interest. Minority interest expense decreased to $111 million in 2000, compared to $330 million in 1999. The decrease in minority interest expense was principally due to the allocation of a portion of the higher net pretax gains in 1999 relating to the sale or exchange of various cable television systems and investments owned by TWE-A/N to the minority owners of that partnership. Excluding the significant effect of the gains recognized in each period, minority interest expense decreased principally due to a higher allocation of losses in 2000 to a minority partner in The WB Network. FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY JUNE 30, 2000 FINANCIAL CONDITION At June 30, 2000, Time Warner had $17.8 billion of debt, $459 million of cash and equivalents (net debt of $17.3 billion), $1.135 billion of borrowings against future stock option proceeds, $575 million of mandatorily redeemable preferred securities of a subsidiary and $9.7 billion of shareholders' equity, compared to $18.1 billion of debt, $1.3 billion of cash and equivalents (net debt of $16.8 billion), $1.243 billion of borrowings against future stock option proceeds, $575 million of mandatorily redeemable preferred securities of a subsidiary and $9.7 billion of shareholders' equity at December 31, 1999. 9 TIME WARNER INC. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION--(CONTINUED) CASH FLOWS During the first six months of 2000, Time Warner's cash provided by operations amounted to $873 million and reflected $2.457 billion of business segment EBITA, $626 million of noncash depreciation expense and $208 million of proceeds from Time Warner's asset securitization program, less $753 million of interest payments, $190 million of income taxes, $87 million of corporate expenses and $1.388 billion related to an aggregate increase in working capital requirements, other balance sheet accounts and noncash items. Cash provided by operations of $1.810 billion for the first six months of 1999 reflected $3.255 billion of business segment EBITA, $585 million of noncash depreciation expense and $99 million of proceeds from Time Warner's asset securitization program, less $684 million of interest payments, $172 million of income taxes, $80 million of corporate expenses and $1.193 billion related to an aggregate increase in working capital requirements, other balance sheet accounts and noncash items. Cash used by investing activities was $1.416 billion in the first six months of 2000, compared to $877 million in the first six months of 1999. This increase was principally due to an increase in cash used for acquisitions and investments, a decrease in cash proceeds from the sale of investments and higher capital expenditures. Capital expenditures increased to $1.290 billion in the first six months of 2000, compared to $963 million in the first six months of 1999, reflecting higher spending on variable capital to facilitate a more aggressive roll-out of Time Warner Cable's popular digital cable and high-speed online services. Cash used by financing activities was $282 million in the first six months of 2000, compared to $954 million in the first six months of 1999. The use of cash in 2000 principally resulted from $280 million of debt reduction, the repayment of $110 million of borrowings against future stock option proceeds, the repurchase of approximately 930 thousand shares of Time Warner common stock at an aggregate cost of $65 million in early 2000 before the merger-related suspension of Time Warner's stock repurchase program and the payment of $131 million in dividends, offset in part by $310 million of proceeds received principally from the exercise of employee stock options. The use of cash in 1999 principally resulted from $196 million of debt reduction, the repurchase of approximately 13.7 million shares of Time Warner common stock at an aggregate cost of $926 million, the redemption of preferred stock of a subsidiary at an aggregate cost of $217 million and the payment of $149 million in dividends, offset in part by $324 million of borrowings against future stock option proceeds and $287 million of proceeds received principally from the exercise of employee stock options. The assets and cash flows of TWE are restricted by certain borrowing and partnership agreements and are unavailable to Time Warner except through the payment of certain fees, reimbursements, cash distributions and loans, which are subject to limitations. Under its bank credit agreement, TWE is permitted to incur additional indebtedness to make loans, advances, distributions and other cash payments to Time Warner, subject to its individual compliance with the cash flow coverage and leverage ratio covenants contained therein. Management believes that Time Warner's operating cash flow, cash and equivalents and additional borrowing capacity are sufficient to fund its capital and liquidity needs for the foreseeable future without distributions and loans from TWE above those permitted by existing agreements. CABLE CAPITAL SPENDING Time Warner Cable has been engaged in a plan to upgrade the technological capability and reliability of its cable television systems and develop new services, which it believes will position the business for sustained, long-term growth. Capital spending by Time Warner Cable amounted to $1.0 billion in the six months ended June 30, 2000, compared to $704 million in the six months ended June 30, 1999. Cable capital spending for the remainder of 2000 is budgeted to 10 TIME WARNER INC. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION--(CONTINUED) be approximately $1.0 billion, reflecting higher spending on variable capital to facilitate a more aggressive roll-out of Time Warner Cable's popular digital cable and high-speed online services. Capital spending by Time Warner Cable is expected to continue to be funded by cable operating cash flow. INVESTMENT IN ROAD RUNNER In June 1998, Time Warner, TWE, TWE-A/N, MediaOne, Microsoft Corp. ("Microsoft") and Compaq Computer Corp. ("Compaq") formed a joint venture to operate and expand Time Warner Cable's and MediaOne's existing high-speed online business ("Road Runner"). In exchange for contributing these operations, Time Warner, TWE and TWE-A/N received a collective 68.6% common equity interest in Road Runner and MediaOne received 31.4% interest. In exchange for Microsoft and Compaq contributing $425 million of cash to Road Runner, Microsoft and Compaq each received a preferred equity interest therein that is convertible into a 10% common equity interest (the "Preferred Equity Interests"). In June 2000, AT&T acquired MediaOne. As a condition to closing the acquisition, AT&T agreed to a requirement by the United States Department of Justice to divest itself of MediaOne's interest in Road Runner within an eighteen-month period of time. As a result, Time Warner is evaluating strategic alternatives for restructuring Road Runner's ownership and operations. In connection with some of these alternatives, Time Warner could be required to record a one-time restructuring charge that could range from $200-300 million. This charge would be expected to cover any premium paid to redeem Road Runner's Preferred Equity Interests, lease termination and other related restructuring costs. Such a charge would be recorded in interest and other, net. In addition, as part of a restructuring, Time Warner's Cable segment could begin consolidating a portion of the operations of Road Runner. This would result in the Cable segment recognizing operating losses from Road Runner, which previously had been included in interest and other, net, through Time Warner's equity in the pretax losses of Road Runner. FILMED ENTERTAINMENT BACKLOG Backlog represents the amount of future revenue not yet recorded from cash contracts for the licensing of theatrical and television product for pay cable, basic cable, network and syndicated television exhibition. Backlog for all of Time Warner's filmed entertainment companies amounted to $3.830 billion at June 30, 2000, compared to $3.595 billion at December 31, 1999 (including amounts relating to the licensing of film product to Time Warner's cable television networks of $1.260 billion at June 30, 2000 and $1.176 billion at December 31, 1999). Because backlog generally relates to contracts for the licensing of theatrical and television product which already have been produced, the recognition of revenue for such completed product is principally only dependent upon the commencement of the availability period for telecast under the terms of the related licensing agreement. Cash licensing fees are collected periodically over the term of the related licensing agreements or on an accelerated basis using a $500 million securitization facility. The portion of backlog for which cash has not already been received has significant off-balance sheet asset value as a source of future funding. As of June 30, 2000, including cash received under the securitization facility and other advanced payments, approximately $700 million of cash licensing fees had been collected against the backlog. The backlog excludes advertising barter contracts, which also are expected to result in the future realization of revenues and cash through the sale of advertising spots received under such contracts. CAUTION CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS The Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") encourages companies to disclose forward-looking information so that investors can better understand a company's future prospects and make informed investment 11 TIME WARNER INC. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION--(CONTINUED) decisions. This document, together with management's public commentary related thereto, contains such "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, particularly statements anticipating future growth in revenues, EBITA and cash flow. Words such as "anticipates," "estimates," "expects," "projects," "intends," "plans," "believes" and words and terms of similar substance used in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial performance identify such forward-looking statements. Those forward-looking statements are management's present expectations or beliefs about future events. As with any projection or forecast, they are inherently susceptible to uncertainty and changes in circumstances, and the Company is under no obligation to (and expressly disclaims any such obligation to) update or alter its forward-looking statements whether as a result of such changes, new information, future events or otherwise. Time Warner operates in highly competitive, consumer driven and rapidly changing media and entertainment businesses that are dependent on government regulation and economic, political and social conditions in the countries in which they operate, consumer demand for their products and services, technological developments and (particularly in view of technological changes) protection of their intellectual property rights. Time Warner's actual results could differ materially from management's expectations because of changes in such factors. Some of the other factors that also could cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements include those identified in Time Warner's other filings with the SEC and: o For Time Warner's cable business, more aggressive than expected competition from new technologies and other types of video programming distributors, including DBS and DSL; increases in government regulation of basic cable or equipment rates or other terms of service (such as "digital must-carry" or common carrier requirements); increased difficulty in obtaining franchise renewals; the failure of new equipment (such as digital set-top boxes) or services (such as digital cable, high-speed online services, telephony over cable or video on demand) to appeal to enough consumers or to be available at reasonable prices to function as expected and to be delivered in a timely fashion; and greater than expected increases in programming or other costs. o For Time Warner's cable programming and television businesses, greater than expected programming or production costs; public and cable operator resistance to price increases (and the negative impact on premium programmers of increases in basic cable rates); increased regulation of distribution agreements; the sensitivity of advertising to economic cyclicality; and greater than expected fragmentation of consumer viewership due to an increased number of programming services or the increased popularity of alternatives to television. o For Time Warner's film and television businesses, their ability to continue to attract and select desirable talent and scripts at manageable costs; general increases in production costs; fragmentation of consumer leisure and entertainment time (and its possible negative effects on the broadcast and cable networks, which are significant customers of these businesses); continued popularity of merchandising; and the uncertain impact of technological developments such as DVD and the Internet. o For Time Warner's music business, its ability to continue to attract and select desirable talent at manageable costs; the timely completion of albums by major artists; the popular demand for particular artists and albums; its ability to continue to enforce and capitalize on its intellectual property rights in digital environments; its ability to complete its proposed transaction with EMI and integrate the businesses successfully; and the overall strength of global music sales. 12 TIME WARNER INC. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION--(CONTINUED) o For Time Warner's print media and publishing businesses, increases in paper, postal and distribution costs; the introduction and increased popularity of alternative technologies for the provision of news and information, such as the Internet; and fluctuations in advertiser and consumer spending. o For Time Warner's digital media businesses, their ability to locate and invest in profitable businesses, to develop products and services that are attractive, accessible and commercially viable in terms of content, technology and cost; their ability to manage costs and generate revenues; aggressive competition from existing and developing technologies and products; the resolution of issues concerning commercial activities via the Internet, including security, reliability, cost, ease of use and access; and the possibility of increased government regulation of new media services. o The risks related to the Company's merger with America Online (the "Merger"), including the risk that the Time Warner and America Online businesses will not be integrated successfully; the costs related to the Merger; the inability to obtain, or meet conditions imposed for, governmental approvals for the Merger; the failure of the combined company to realize the anticipated benefits of the Merger; the difficulty the financial market may have in valuing the business model of the combined company; fluctuating market prices that could cause the value of the stock of the combined company to fail to reflect the current values of Time Warner's or America Online's stock; and other economic, business, competitive, technological and/or regulatory factors generally affecting the businesses of Time Warner, America Online or the combined company. In addition, Time Warner's overall financial strategy, including growth in operations, maintaining its financial ratios and strengthened balance sheet, could be adversely affected by increased interest rates, failure to meet earnings expectations, significant acquisitions or other transactions, consequences of the euro conversion and changes in Time Warner's plans, strategies and intentions. 13 TIME WARNER INC.

See accompanying notes. 17 TIME WARNER INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) 1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS Time Warner Inc. ("Time Warner" or the "Company") is the world's leading media and entertainment company. Time Warner's principal business objective is to create and distribute branded information and entertainment copyrights throughout the world. Time Warner classifies its business interests into six fundamental areas: Cable Networks, consisting principally of interests in cable television programming; Publishing, consisting principally of interests in magazine publishing, book publishing and direct marketing; Music, consisting principally of interests in recorded music and music publishing; Filmed Entertainment, consisting principally of interests in filmed entertainment, television production and television broadcasting; Cable, consisting principally of interests in cable television systems; and Digital Media, consisting principally of interests in Internet-related and digital media businesses. Each of the business interests within Cable Networks, Publishing, Music, Filmed Entertainment, Cable and Digital Media is important to management's objective of increasing shareholder value through the creation, extension and distribution of recognizable brands and copyrights throughout the world. Such brands and copyrights include (1) leading cable television networks, such as HBO, Cinemax, CNN, TNT and TBS Superstation, (2) magazine franchises, such as Time, People and Sports Illustrated, (3) copyrighted music from many of the world's leading recording artists that is produced and distributed by a family of established record labels such as Warner Bros. Records, Atlantic Records, Elektra Entertainment and Warner Music International, (4) the unique and extensive film, television and animation libraries owned or managed by Warner Bros. and New Line Cinema, and trademarks such as the Looney Tunes characters, Batman and The Flintstones, (5) The WB Network, a national broadcasting network launched in 1995 as an extension of the Warner Bros. brand and as an additional distribution outlet for the Company's collection of children's cartoons and television programming, (6) Time Warner Cable, the second largest operator of cable television systems in the U.S. and (7) Internet websites, such as CNN.com and Entertaindom.com. Financial information for Time Warner's various business segments is presented herein as an indication of financial performance (Note 8). Except for start-up losses incurred in connection with The WB Network and Digital Media, Time Warner's principal business segments generate significant operating income and cash flow from operations. The cash flow from operations generated by such business segments is considerably greater than their operating income due to significant amounts of noncash amortization of intangible assets recognized in various acquisitions accounted for by the purchase method of accounting. Noncash amortization of intangible assets recorded by Time Warner's business segments amounted to $334 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000 and $311 million for the three months ended June 30, 1999. On a year-to-date basis, noncash amortization of intangible assets recorded by Time Warner's business segments amounted to $664 million in 2000 and $617 million in 1999. BASIS OF PRESENTATION A majority of Time Warner's interests in filmed entertainment, television production, television broadcasting and cable television systems, and a portion of its interests in cable television programming and digital media are held through Time Warner Entertainment Company, L.P. ("TWE"). Time Warner owns general and limited partnership interests in TWE consisting of 74.49% of the pro rata priority capital ("Series A Capital") and residual equity capital ("Residual Capital"), and 100% of the junior priority capital ("Series B Capital"). The remaining 25.51% limited partnership interests in the Series A Capital and Residual Capital of TWE are held by a subsidiary of MediaOne Group, Inc. 18 TIME WARNER INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED) (UNAUDITED) ("MediaOne"), which was acquired by AT&T Corp. on June 15, 2000. Time Warner's 1999 financial statements and segment information reflect the consolidation of the Entertainment Group, which substantially consists of TWE, retroactive to the beginning of 1999. Interim Financial Statements The accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited but, in the opinion of management, contain all the adjustments (consisting of those of a normal recurring nature) considered necessary to present fairly the financial position and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to interim periods. The accompanying consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of Time Warner included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999, as amended on June 27, 2000 (the "1999 Form 10-K"). Cumulative Effect of Change in Film Accounting Principle In June 2000, Time Warner adopted Statement of Position 00-2, "Accounting by Producers and Distributors of Films" ("SOP 00-2"). SOP 00-2 established new film accounting standards, including changes in revenue recognition and accounting for advertising, development and overhead costs. Specifically, SOP 00-2 requires advertising costs for theatrical and television product to be expensed as incurred. This compares to Time Warner's previous policy of first capitalizing and then expensing advertising costs for theatrical product over the related revenue streams. In addition, SOP 00-2 requires development costs for abandoned projects and certain indirect overhead costs to be charged directly to expense, instead of those costs being capitalized to film costs, which was required under the previous accounting model. SOP 00-2 also requires all film costs to be classified in the balance sheet as noncurrent assets. Provisions of SOP 00-2 in other areas, such as revenue recognition, generally are consistent with Time Warner's existing accounting policies. Time Warner has adopted the provisions of SOP 00-2 retroactively to the beginning of 2000. As a result, Time Warner's net income for the six months ended June 30, 2000 includes a one-time, noncash, after-tax charge of $443 million, primarily to reduce the carrying value of its film inventory. This charge has been reflected as a cumulative effect of an accounting change in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. As a result of adopting the provisions of SOP 00-2 retroactively to the beginning of 2000, Time Warner has restated its operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2000, as follows: AS REPORTED AS RESTATED ----------- ----------- (MILLIONS) Revenues................................................................... $6,549 $6,564 Business segment operating income.......................................... 841 832 Loss before cumulative effect of accounting change......................... (96) (101) Net loss................................................................... (96) (544) Basic and diluted loss per common share.................................... $ (.08) $ (.42) Revenue Classification Changes In June 2000, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued an amendment to Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements" ("SAB 101"), which delays the implementation date for Time Warner to the fourth quarter of 2000. While Time Warner's existing revenue recognition policies are consistent with the provisions of SAB 101, the new rules are expected to result in some changes in how the filmed entertainment industry classifies its revenues and costs, particularly relating to distribution arrangements for third-party and co-financed joint venture product. 19 TIME WARNER INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED) (UNAUDITED) As a result of these classification changes, it is expected that both annual revenues and costs in Time Warner's filmed entertainment businesses will be reduced by an equal amount of approximately $1.5-2 billion. Similarly, it is expected that Time Warner's disclosure of the amount of backlog, which represents the amount of future revenue not yet recorded from cash contracts for the licensing of theatrical and television product, will be reduced by approximately $500-700 million, depending upon the amount of third-party and co-financed joint venture product being licensed. Time Warner is continuing to evaluate the overall impact of SAB 101 on its consolidated financial statements; however, other aspects of SAB 101 are not expected to have a significant effect on Time Warner's consolidated financial statements. Reclassifications Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year's financial information to conform to the 2000 presentation, including a reclassification of the Music segment's operating results for 1999 to reflect a change in how management classifies Time Warner's share of the operating results of the Columbia House Company Partnerships ("Columbia House"), a 50%-owned equity investee. Effective on January 1, 2000, management reclassified Time Warner's share of the operating results of Columbia House from its Music segment to interest and other, net. This reclassification resulted primarily from the planned restructuring of Columbia House's traditional direct-marketing business and an increasing dependency on the sale of video product. 2. SIGNIFICANT TRANSACTIONS AMERICA ONLINE-TIME WARNER MERGER In January 2000, Time Warner and America Online, Inc. ("America Online") announced that they had entered into an agreement to merge (the "Merger") by forming a new holding company named AOL Time Warner Inc. ("AOL Time Warner"). As part of the Merger, each issued and outstanding share of each class of common stock of Time Warner will be converted into 1.5 shares of an identical series of common stock of AOL Time Warner. In addition, each issued and outstanding share of each class of preferred stock of Time Warner will be converted into one share of preferred stock of AOL Time Warner, which will have substantially identical terms except that such shares will be convertible into approximately 6.25 shares of AOL Time Warner common stock. Lastly, each issued and outstanding share of common stock of America Online will be converted into one share of common stock of AOL Time Warner. As a result of the Merger, the former shareholders of America Online will have an approximate 55% interest in AOL Time Warner and the former shareholders of Time Warner will have an approximate 45% interest in the combined entity, expressed on a fully diluted basis. The Merger is expected to be accounted for by AOL Time Warner as an acquisition of Time Warner under the purchase method of accounting for business combinations. The Merger was approved by the shareholders of America Online and Time Warner on June 23, 2000. The Merger is expected to close in the fall of 2000 and is subject to customary closing conditions, including all necessary regulatory approvals. There can be no assurance that such approvals will be obtained. In connection with the Merger, Time Warner has been incurring one-time transaction costs, including legal, investment banking and stock registration fees. These costs are required to be expensed by Time Warner in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Such costs amounted to $31 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000 and $77 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000. These costs have been classified in interest and other, net, in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. 20 TIME WARNER INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED) (UNAUDITED) WARNER-EMI MUSIC MERGER In January 2000, Time Warner and EMI Group plc ("EMI") announced they had entered into an agreement to combine their global music operations into two 50-50 joint ventures, to be referred to collectively as Warner EMI Music. Time Warner will control the ventures through majority board representation, among other factors, and will account for the transaction under the purchase method of accounting for business combinations. As part of the transaction, each company will contribute its music operations to the ventures, subject to a comparable amount of debt. As of March 31, 2000, EMI had approximately $1.5 billion of net debt. EMI shareholders also will receive an aggregate, special cash dividend of approximately $1.3 billion. This dividend is expected to be financed through a combination of proceeds from debt incurred or assumed by the ventures and consideration to be paid by Time Warner directly to EMI for a new class of EMI equity securities. The new class of EMI equity securities to be held by Time Warner will convert automatically into an 8% common equity interest in EMI, on a fully diluted basis, if EMI's share price reaches 'L'9 for a short period of time within the first three-and-a-half years after closing. The transaction was approved by the shareholders of EMI on June 26, 2000. The transaction is expected to close by the end of 2000, subject to customary closing conditions, including all necessary regulatory approvals. There can be no assurance that such approvals will be obtained. BOOK-OF-THE-MONTH CLUB JOINT VENTURE In the first quarter of 2000, Time Warner formed a 50-50 joint venture with Bertelsmann AG ("Bertelsmann"). The venture combined the domestic operations of Time Warner's Book-of-the-Month Club with the domestic book club operations of Doubleday Direct, Inc. ("Doubleday"), a leading consumer book club group owned by Bertelsmann. In connection with this transaction, Time Warner has deconsolidated its domestic book club operations in 2000 and is accounting for its interest in the joint venture under the equity method of accounting. Time Warner's initial interest in the joint venture was recorded based on the historical cost basis of the contributed net assets. Time Warner did not recognize a gain or loss on the transaction. Time Warner's share of the operating results of the joint venture for the first half of 2000 has been included in interest and other, net, in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. SIX FLAGS In 1998, TWE sold its remaining 49% interest in Six Flags Entertainment Corporation ("Six Flags") to Premier Parks Inc. ("Premier," now known as Six Flags Inc.), a regional theme park operator, for approximately $475 million. TWE initially deferred a $400 million gain on the transaction principally as a result of uncertainties surrounding its realization. Those uncertainties related to litigation and TWE's guarantees of Premier's long-term obligations to make minimum payments to the limited partners of the Six Flags Over Texas and Six Flags Over Georgia theme parks (the "Co-Venture Guarantees"). Time Warner management periodically had evaluated its reasonably possible risk of loss relating to the Six Flags litigation and Co-Venture Guarantees. Based on the improving financial performance of Premier and the Six Flags Over Texas and Six Flags Over Georgia theme parks, management believed that its aggregate financial exposure had declined steadily. Accordingly, TWE periodically recognized a portion of the deferred gain as its realization became more fully assured. For each quarter of 1999 and in the first quarter of 2000, a $10 million pretax gain was recognized. These amounts have been included in business segment operating income in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. 21 TIME WARNER INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED) (UNAUDITED) In December 1998, a jury returned an adverse verdict in the Six Flags litigation in the amount of $454 million. TWE and its former 51% partner in Six Flags are financially responsible for this judgment. TWE appealed the verdict, but, in July 2000, an appellate court unexpectedly affirmed the jury's verdict. As a result, TWE revised its estimate of its financial exposure and recorded a one-time, pretax charge of $50 million in the second quarter of 2000 to cover its additional financial exposure in excess of established reserves. These reserves consisted of the unrecognized portion of the deferred gain and accrued interest. The $50 million charge is classified in two components in Time Warner's accompanying consolidated statement of operations: $26 million of the charge, representing an accrual for additional interest, is included in interest and other, net, and the remaining $24 million is included in business segment operating income. GAINS (LOSSES) ON THE SALE OR EXCHANGE OF CABLE TELEVISION SYSTEMS AND INVESTMENTS In 2000 and 1999, largely in an ongoing effort to enhance its geographic clustering of cable television properties, Time Warner continued to sell or exchange various cable television systems and investments. In connection with these transactions, Time Warner Cable recognized net pretax losses for the three months ended June 30, 2000 of approximately $7 million and net pretax gains of $771 million in 1999. Net pretax gains for the first six months of the year amounted to $21 million in 2000 and $771 million in 1999. Such amounts have been included in business segment operating income in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. COLUMBIA HOUSE INVESTMENT WRITE-DOWN In July 1999, Time Warner announced an agreement with Sony Corporation of America ("Sony") to merge their jointly owned music and video club operations of Columbia House with CDNOW, Inc. ("CDNOW"), a music and video e-commerce company. While awaiting the receipt of regulatory approvals, the March 13, 2000 termination date in the merger agreement was reached, and the parties terminated the agreement. Accordingly, the merger will not occur. Time Warner is continuing to evaluate strategic alternatives for Columbia House's operations. Those alternatives are focused primarily on ways to improve Columbia House's declining operating performance, including online initiatives, joint ventures and other strategic actions. Management believes that such strategies are important to achieve a turnaround in Columbia House's operating performance and to position it for long-term growth in a highly competitive and rapidly changing business environment. With the termination of the CDNOW merger in March 2000, the risk associated with the timely execution of these strategies and the transformation of Columbia House's traditional business model to an online one increased. As a result, management concluded that the decline in Columbia House's business is going to continue through the near term. As such, Time Warner recorded a $220 million noncash pretax charge during the first quarter of 2000 to reduce the carrying value of its investment in Columbia House to an estimate of its fair value. The charge has been included in interest and other, net, in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. 1999 GAIN ON TERMINATION OF VIDEO DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT In March 1999, Warner Bros. and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Inc. ("MGM") terminated a long-term distribution agreement under which Warner Bros. had exclusive worldwide distribution rights for MGM/United Artists home video product. In connection with the early termination and settlement of this distribution agreement, Warner Bros. recognized a net pretax gain of approximately $215 million, which has been included in 1999 business segment operating income in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. 22 TIME WARNER INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED) (UNAUDITED) 1999 GAIN ON TIME WARNER TELECOM'S INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING In May 1999, Time Warner Telecom Inc. ("Time Warner Telecom"), an integrated communications provider that provides a wide range of telephony and data services to businesses, completed an initial public offering of 20% of its common stock (the "Time Warner Telecom IPO"). In connection with the Time Warner Telecom IPO and certain related transactions, Time Warner's ownership interest in Time Warner Telecom was diluted from 62% to 48%. As a result, Time Warner recognized a pretax gain of approximately $115 million before providing for deferred taxes. This gain has been included in interest and other, net, in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999. 3. GAINS ON THE SALE OF OTHER INVESTMENTS GAIN ON THE SALE OF INVESTMENT IN MARTHA STEWART During 2000, Time Warner sold a portion of its interest in Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia Inc. ("Martha Stewart") for proceeds of approximately $33 million. As a result, Time Warner recognized a pretax gain of approximately $32 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000. In addition, during the first six months of 1999, Time Warner recognized a pretax gain of a comparable amount, also related to its interest in Martha Stewart. These gains are included in business segment operating income in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. GAIN ON THE SALE OF INVESTMENT IN HEALTHEON/WEBMD During 2000, Time Warner periodically sold portions of its interest in Healtheon/WebMD Corp. for aggregate proceeds of approximately $56 million. As a result, Time Warner recognized pretax gains of approximately $21 million in the second quarter of 2000 and $31 million for the year-to-date period. These gains are included in business segment operating income in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. 4. INVESTMENT IN THE ENTERTAINMENT GROUP TWE is a Delaware limited partnership that was capitalized in 1992 to own and operate substantially all of the Filmed Entertainment-Warner Bros., Cable Networks-HBO and Cable businesses previously owned by subsidiaries of Time Warner. Time Warner, through its wholly owned subsidiaries, collectively owns general and limited partnership interests in TWE consisting of 74.49% of the Series A Capital and Residual Capital and 100% of the Series B Capital. The remaining 25.51% limited partnership interests in the Series A Capital and Residual Capital of TWE are held by MediaOne. Certain Time Warner subsidiaries are the general partners of TWE ("Time Warner General Partners"). The TWE partnership agreement provides for special allocations of income, loss and distributions of partnership capital, including priority distributions in the event of liquidation. TWE reported income before cumulative effect of an accounting change of $369 million and a net loss of $155 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000. For the six months ended June 30, 1999, TWE reported net income of $1.079 billion. Because of the priority rights over allocations of income and distributions of TWE held by the Time Warner General Partners, all of TWE's net income and losses were allocated to Time Warner and none was allocated to MediaOne. The assets and cash flows of TWE are restricted by the TWE partnership and credit agreements. As such, they are unavailable for use by the partners except through the payment of certain fees, reimbursements, cash distributions and loans, which are subject to limitations. 23 TIME WARNER INC.

MANDATORILY REDEEMABLE PREFERRED SECURITIES In 1995, Time Warner, through TW Companies, issued approximately 23 million Company-obligated mandatorily redeemable preferred securities of a wholly owned subsidiary ("Preferred Trust Securities") for aggregate gross proceeds of $575 million. The sole assets of the subsidiary that is the obligor on the Preferred Trust Securities are $592 million principal amount of 8-7/8% subordinated debentures of TW Companies due December 31, 2025. Cumulative cash distributions are payable on the Preferred Trust Securities at an annual rate of 8-7/8%. The Preferred Trust Securities are mandatorily redeemable for cash on December 31, 2025, and TW Companies has the right to redeem the Preferred Trust Securities, in whole or in part, on or after December 31, 2000, or in other certain circumstances. If TW Companies elects to redeem these securities, the redemption amount would be in each case at an amount per Preferred Trust Security equal to $25 per security, plus accrued and unpaid distributions thereon. Time Warner has certain obligations relating to the Preferred Trust Securities which amount to a full and unconditional guaranty (on a subordinated basis) of its subsidiary's obligations with respect thereto. 24 TIME WARNER INC.

SEGMENT INFORMATION Time Warner classifies its business interests into six fundamental areas: Cable Networks, consisting principally of interests in cable television programming; Publishing, consisting principally of interests in magazine publishing, book publishing and direct marketing; Music, consisting principally of interests in recorded music and music publishing; Filmed Entertainment, consisting principally of interests in filmed entertainment, television production and television broadcasting; Cable, consisting principally of interests in cable television systems; and Digital Media, consisting principally of interests in Internet-related and digital media businesses. Time Warner's Digital Media segment commenced operations in the fourth quarter of 1999. Information as to the operations of Time Warner in different business segments is set forth below based on the nature of the products and services offered. Time Warner evaluates performance based on several factors, of which the primary financial measure is business segment operating income before noncash amortization of intangible assets ("EBITA"). The accounting policies of the business segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies under Note 1 in Time Warner's 1999 Form 10-K. Intersegment sales are accounted for at fair value as if the sales were to third parties. As described more fully in Note 1, effective January 1, 2000, management reclassified Time Warner's share of the operating results of Columbia House from its Music segment to interest and other, net. As such, segment results for 1999 have been reclassified to conform to the 2000 presentation. Also, as described more fully in Note 2, the 25 TIME WARNER INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED) (UNAUDITED) comparability of the Publishing segment's operating results was affected by a transaction in 2000 involving Book-of-the-Month Club. In connection with that transaction, the operating results of Book-of-the-Month Club were deconsolidated and are no longer included in the Publishing segment's operating results for 2000. Time Warner's share of the operating results of the joint venture for the first six months of 2000 has been included in interest and other, net, in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. During the three months ended June 30, 1999, the Publishing segment's operating results included revenues of $81 million, EBITA losses of $3 million and operating losses of $4 million relating to Book-of-the-Month Club. During the six months ended June 30, 1999, the Publishing segment's operating results included revenues of $147 million, EBITA losses of $12 million and operating losses of $14 million relating to Book-of-the-Month Club.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Time Warner is subject to various class action lawsuits as well as actions that have been brought by various state attorneys general alleging collusive and other illegal pricing practices by the major record companies in their capacity as distributors of compact discs. Although management believes these cases are without merit, adverse jury verdicts could result in a material loss to Time Warner. Due to the lack of specificity to plaintiffs' claims, a range of loss is not determinable at this time. TWE also is subject to certain litigation relating to Six Flags. In December 1998, a jury returned an adverse verdict in the Six Flags matter in the amount of $454 million. TWE and its former 51% partner in Six Flags are financially responsible for this judgment. As described in Note 2, TWE appealed the verdict, but, in July 2000, an appellate court unexpectedly affirmed the jury's verdict. As a result, TWE revised its estimate of its financial exposure and recorded a one-time, pretax charge of $50 million in the second quarter of 2000 to cover its additional financial exposure in excess of established reserves. Time Warner is also subject to numerous legal proceedings.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS Time Warner Entertainment Company, L.P. ("TWE" or the "Company") classifies its business interests into four fundamental areas: Cable Networks, consisting principally of interests in cable television programming; Filmed Entertainment, consisting principally of interests in filmed entertainment, television production and television broadcasting; Cable, consisting principally of interests in cable television systems; and Digital Media, consisting principally of interests in Internet-related and digital media businesses. TWE also manages the cable properties owned by Time Warner Inc. ("Time Warner") and the combined cable television operations are conducted under the name of Time Warner Cable. USE OF EBITA TWE evaluates operating performance based on several factors, including its primary financial measure of operating income before noncash amortization of intangible assets ("EBITA"). Consistent with management's financial focus on controlling capital spending, EBITA measures operating performance after charges for depreciation. In addition, EBITA eliminates the uneven effect across all business segments of considerable amounts of noncash amortization of intangible assets recognized in business combinations accounted for by the purchase method. These business combinations include Time Warner's $14 billion acquisition of Warner Communications Inc. in 1989 and $1.3 billion acquisition of the minority interest in American Television and Communications Corporation in 1992, which created over $10 billion of intangible assets that generally are being amortized over a twenty to forty year period. The exclusion of noncash amortization charges also is consistent with management's belief that TWE's intangible assets, such as cable television franchises, film and television libraries and the goodwill associated with its brands, generally are increasing in value and importance to TWE's business objective of creating, extending and distributing recognizable brands and copyrights throughout the world. As such, the following comparative discussion of the results of operations of TWE includes, among other factors, an analysis of changes in business segment EBITA. However, EBITA should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, operating income, net income and other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. TRANSACTIONS AFFECTING COMPARABILITY OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS As more fully described herein, the comparability of TWE's operating results has been affected by certain significant transactions and nonrecurring items in each period. For 2000, the significant, nonrecurring items included (i) net pretax losses of approximately $8 million recognized in the second quarter relating to the sale or exchange of various cable television systems and investments, (ii) a $50 million pretax charge in the second quarter related to the Six Flags Entertainment Corporation ("Six Flags") litigation, (iii) a pretax gain of $10 million in the first quarter relating to the partial recognition of a deferred gain on the 1998 sale of Six Flags and (iv) a noncash charge of $524 million in the first quarter reflecting the cumulative effect of an accounting change in connection with the adoption of a new film accounting standard. For 1999, the significant, nonrecurring items included (i) net pretax gains of approximately $760 million recognized in the second quarter relating to the sale or exchange of various cable television systems and investments, (ii) a pretax gain of $10 million recognized in each of the first and second quarters relating to the partial recognition of a deferred gain on the 1998 sale of Six Flags and (iii) an approximate $215 million pretax gain recognized in the first quarter in connection with the early termination and settlement of a long-term, home video distribution agreement. 37 TIME WARNER ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY, L.P. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION--(CONTINUED) In order to meaningfully assess underlying operating trends, management believes that the results of operations for each period should be analyzed after excluding the effects of significant nonrecurring items. As such, the following discussion and analysis focuses on amounts and trends adjusted to exclude the impact of these unusual items. However, unusual items may occur in any period. Accordingly, investors and other financial statement users individually should consider the types of events and transactions for which adjustments have been made. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS EBITA and operating income are as follows: THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, --------------------------- -------------------------- OPERATING OPERATING EBITA INCOME EBITA INCOME ----------- ------------ ----------- ------------ 2000 1999 2000 1999 2000 1999 2000 1999 ---- ---- ---- ----- ---- ---- ---- ---- (MILLIONS) Filmed Entertainment-Warner Bros.(a)................. $121 $ 132 $ 90 $ 101 $ 267 $ 478 $206 $ 417 Broadcasting-The WB Network..........................

(b) Includes net pretax losses related to the sale or exchange of certain cable television systems and investments of approximately $8 million in the second quarter of 2000 and net pretax gains of approximately $760 million in the second quarter of 1999. THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 CONSOLIDATED RESULTS TWE had revenues of $3.313 billion and net income of $145 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000, compared to revenues of $3.060 billion and net income of $767 million for the three months ended June 30, 1999. As previously described, the comparability of TWE's operating results for 2000 and 1999 has been affected by certain significant, nonrecurring items recognized in each period. These nonrecurring items aggregated approximately $58 million of net pretax losses in 2000, compared to approximately $770 million of net pretax gains in 1999. TWE's net income decreased to $145 million in 2000, compared to $767 million in 1999. However, excluding the effect of the nonrecurring items referred to earlier, net income increased by $48 million to $203 million in 2000 from $155 million in 1999. As discussed more fully below, this increase principally resulted from an overall increase in TWE's business segment operating income, offset in part by higher interest expense principally due to higher market interest rates on variable-rate debt, higher losses associated with TWE's asset securitization program and higher losses from certain investments accounted for under the equity method. As a U.S. partnership, TWE is not subject to U.S. federal and state income taxation. Income and withholding taxes of $25 million and $27 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively, have been provided for the operations of TWE's domestic and foreign subsidiary corporations. 38 TIME WARNER ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY, L.P. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION--(CONTINUED) BUSINESS SEGMENT RESULTS Filmed Entertainment-Warner Bros. Revenues increased to $1.452 billion in 2000, compared to $1.446 billion in 1999. EBITA, including the negative effect on operating trends of one-time items relating to Six Flags, decreased to $121 million in 2000 from $132 million in 1999. Operating income similarly decreased to $90 million in 2000 from $101 million in 1999 due to the one-time items. Revenues principally benefited from an increase in the distribution of television product, offset in part by lower revenues from the distribution of theatrical product. Revenues from the distribution of theatrical product decreased principally due to difficult comparisons to last year's theatrical success of The Matrix and lower revenues from worldwide television exhibition, which more than offset significant increases in DVD and home video sales. Revenues from the distribution of television product increased principally due to higher aggregate revenues from broadcast network and syndicated television exhibition, offset in part by lower aggregate revenues from basic cable exhibition. Operating results for both periods include items related to Six Flags. The 2000 results include a pretax charge of $24 million relating to the Six Flags litigation. The 1999 results include a pretax gain of $10 million relating to the partial recognition of a deferred gain on the 1998 sale of Six Flags. Excluding the impact of Six Flags, EBITA and operating income principally increased as a result of the revenue gains and lower film costs. Broadcasting-The WB Network. Revenues increased to $109 million in 2000, compared to $83 million in 1999. EBITA improved to a loss of $21 million in 2000 from a loss of $30 million in 1999. Operating losses decreased to $22 million in 2000 from $31 million in 1999. Revenues increased principally as a result of one additional night of prime-time programming in comparison to the prior year and advertising rate increases, offset in part by lower prime-time television ratings. Prime-time television ratings were negatively affected by lower household delivery associated with the WGN Superstation discontinuing its carriage of The WB Network's programming beginning in the fall of 1999. The EBITA and operating loss improvements were due to the revenue gains, which more than offset higher programming costs associated with the expanded programming schedule. Cable Networks-HBO. Revenues increased to $570 million in 2000, compared to $546 million in 1999. EBITA and operating income increased to $150 million in 2000 from $131 million in 1999. Revenues benefited primarily from an increase in subscriptions. EBITA and operating income increased principally due to the revenue gains and increased cost savings. Cable. Revenues increased to $1.280 billion in 2000, compared to $1.114 billion in 1999. EBITA, including the negative effect on operating trends of one-time items recognized in each period, decreased to $385 million in 2000 from $1.099 billion in 1999. Operating income similarly decreased to $276 million in 2000 from $1.011 billion in 1999 due to one-time items. Revenues increased due to growth in basic cable subscribers, increases in basic cable rates, increases in advertising and pay-per-view revenues and increases from the deployment of digital cable and high-speed online services. The operating results of the Cable segment were affected by net pretax losses of approximately $8 million in 2000 and net pretax gains of approximately $760 million in 1999 relating to the sale or exchange of various cable television systems and investments. Excluding the effect of these items, EBITA and operating income increased principally as a result of the revenue gains and pension-related cost savings, offset in part by higher programming costs and higher depreciation related to capital spending. Digital Media. Digital Media had $17 million of operating losses on $2 million of revenues in 2000 principally due to start-up costs associated with TWE's digital media businesses. TWE's digital media businesses include 39 TIME WARNER ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY, L.P. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION--(CONTINUED) Entertaindom, an advertiser-supported entertainment destination site, and other entertainment-related websites. Due to the start-up nature of most of these businesses, losses are expected to continue in 2000. Interest and Other, Net. Interest and other, net, increased to $246 million of expense in 2000, compared to $167 million of expense in 1999. Interest expense increased to $169 million in 2000, compared to $136 million in 1999 as a result of higher market interest rates on variable-rate debt and $26 million of additional interest expense recorded in 2000 in connection with the Six Flags litigation. Other expense, net, increased to $77 million in 2000, compared to $31 million in 1999, primarily because of higher losses associated with TWE's asset securitization program and higher losses from certain investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Minority Interest. Minority interest expense decreased to $43 million in 2000, compared to $233 million in 1999. The decrease in minority interest expense was principally due to the allocation of a portion of the higher net pretax gains in 1999 relating to the sale or exchange of various cable television systems and investments owned by the TWE-Advance/Newhouse Partnership ("TWE-A/N") to the minority owners of that partnership. Excluding the significant effect of the gains recognized in each period, minority interest expense decreased principally due to a higher allocation of losses in 2000 to a minority partner in The WB Network. SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 COMPARED TO THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 CONSOLIDATED RESULTS TWE had revenues of $6.624 billion, income of $369 million before the cumulative effect of an accounting change and a net loss of $155 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000, compared to revenues of $5.994 billion and net income of $1.079 billion for the six months ended June 30, 1999. As previously described, the comparability of TWE's operating results for 2000 and 1999 has been affected by certain significant, nonrecurring items recognized in each period. These nonrecurring items, excluding the impact of the accounting change, aggregated approximately $48 million of net pretax losses in 2000, compared to approximately $995 million of net pretax gains in 1999. In addition, net income in 2000 was reduced by an after-tax charge of $524 million relating to the cumulative effect of the accounting change. TWE had a net loss of $155 million in 2000, compared to net income of $1.079 billion in 1999. However, excluding the significant effect of the nonrecurring items referred to earlier, net income increased by $175 million to $417 million in 2000 from $242 million in 1999. As discussed more fully below, this increase principally resulted from an overall increase in TWE's business segment operating income and lower losses from certain investments accounted for under the equity method, offset in part by higher interest expense principally due to higher market interest rates on variable-rate debt and higher losses associated with TWE's asset securitization program. BUSINESS SEGMENT RESULTS Filmed Entertainment-Warner Bros. Revenues increased to $3.019 billion in 2000, compared to $2.826 billion in 1999. EBITA, including the negative effect on operating trends of one-time items recognized in each period, decreased to $267 million in 2000 from $478 million in 1999. Operating income similarly decreased to $206 million in 2000 from $417 million in 1999 due to the one-time items. Revenues benefited from increases in the distribution of both theatrical and television product, offset in part by lower revenues from consumer product operations. Revenues from the distribution of theatrical product increased principally due to higher worldwide DVD and home video sales, offset in part by lower revenues from worldwide theatrical and television exhibition. Revenues from the distribution of television 40 TIME WARNER ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY, L.P. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION--(CONTINUED) product increased principally due to higher aggregate revenues from basic cable, broadcast network and syndicated television exhibition. Operating results for both periods include one-time items. The 2000 results include a pretax charge of $24 million relating to the Six Flags litigation and a $10 million pretax gain relating to the partial recognition of a deferred gain on the 1998 sale of Six Flags. The 1999 results include pretax gains of $20 million relating to the partial recognition of the deferred gain on the 1998 sale of Six Flags and an approximate $215 million net pretax gain recognized in connection with the early termination and settlement of a long-term, home video distribution agreement. Excluding the effect of these items, EBITA and operating income increased principally as a result of the revenue gains and lower film costs, offset in part by lower investment-related income. Broadcasting-The WB Network. Revenues increased to $211 million in 2000, compared to $162 million in 1999. EBITA improved to a loss of $52 million in 2000 from a loss of $71 million in 1999. Operating losses decreased to $54 million in 2000 from $73 million in 1999. Revenues increased principally as a result of one additional night of prime-time programming in comparison to the prior year and advertising rate increases, offset in part by lower prime-time television ratings. Prime-time television ratings were negatively affected by lower household delivery associated with the WGN Superstation discontinuing its carriage of The WB Network's programming beginning in the fall of 1999. The EBITA and operating loss improvements were due to the revenue gains, which more than offset higher programming costs associated with the expanded programming schedule. Cable Networks-HBO. Revenues increased to $1.124 billion in 2000, compared to $1.072 billion in 1999. EBITA and operating income increased to $294 million in 2000 from $256 million in 1999. Revenues benefited primarily from an increase in subscriptions. The increase in EBITA and operating income was principally due to the revenue gains and increased cost savings, offset in part by lower gains from the sale of certain investments. Cable. Revenues increased to $2.511 billion in 2000, compared to $2.188 billion in 1999. EBITA, including the negative effect on operating trends of one-time items recognized in each period, decreased to $778 million in 2000 from $1.436 billion in 1999. Operating income similarly decreased to $560 million in 2000 from $1.263 billion in 1999 due to the one-time items. Revenues increased due to growth in basic cable subscribers, increases in basic cable rates, increases in advertising revenues and the deployment of digital cable and high-speed online services. The operating results of the Cable segment were affected by net pretax losses of approximately $8 million in 2000 and net pretax gains of approximately $760 million in 1999 relating to the sale or exchange of various cable television systems and investments. Excluding the effect of these items, EBITA and operating income increased principally as a result of the revenue gains and pension-related cost savings, offset in part by higher programming costs and higher depreciation related to capital spending. Digital Media. Digital Media had $30 million of operating losses on $3 million of revenues in 2000 principally due to start-up costs associated with TWE's digital media businesses. TWE's digital media businesses include Entertaindom, an advertiser-supported entertainment destination site, and other entertainment-related websites. Due to the start-up nature of most of these businesses, losses are expected to continue in 2000. Interest and Other, Net. Interest and other, net, increased to $426 million of expense in 2000, compared to $387 million of expense in 1999. Interest expense increased to $313 million in 2000, compared to $273 million in 1999 as a result of higher market interest rates on variable-rate debt and $26 million of additional interest expense recorded in 2000 in connection with the Six Flags litigation. Other expense, net, decreased to $113 million in 2000, compared to 41 TIME WARNER ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY, L.P. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION--(CONTINUED) $114 million in 1999. This decrease principally related to lower losses from certain investments accounted for under the equity method, offset primarily by higher losses associated with TWE's asset securitization program. Minority Interest. Minority interest expense decreased to $83 million in 2000, compared to $306 million in 1999. The decrease in minority interest expense was principally due to the allocation of a portion of the higher net pretax gains in 1999 relating to the sale or exchange of various cable television systems and investments owned by TWE-A/N to the minority owners of that partnership. Excluding the significant effect of the gains recognized in each period, minority interest expense decreased principally due to a higher allocation of losses in 2000 to a minority partner in The WB Network. FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY JUNE 30, 2000 FINANCIAL CONDITION At June 30, 2000, TWE had $6.2 billion of debt, $179 million of cash and equivalents (net debt of $6.0 billion) and $6.5 billion of partners' capital. This compares to $6.7 billion of debt, $517 million of cash and equivalents (net debt of $6.2 billion) and $7.1 billion of partners' capital at December 31, 1999. CASH FLOWS During the first six months of 2000, TWE's cash provided by operations amounted to $1.675 billion and reflected $1.257 billion of business segment EBITA, $437 million of noncash depreciation expense, $246 million of proceeds from TWE's asset securitization program and $86 million related to an aggregate decrease in working capital requirements, other balance sheet accounts and noncash items, less $263 million of interest payments, $51 million of income taxes and $37 million of corporate expenses. Cash provided by operations of $1.519 billion in the first six months of 1999 reflected $2.099 billion of business segment EBITA, $406 million of noncash depreciation expense and $21 million of proceeds from TWE's asset securitization program, less $242 million of interest payments, $49 million of income taxes, $36 million of corporate expenses and $680 million related to an aggregate increase in working capital requirements, other balance sheet accounts and noncash items. Cash used by investing activities was $1.051 billion in the first six months of 2000, compared to $662 million in the first six months of 1999, principally as a result of a decrease in cash proceeds from the sale of investments and an increase in capital expenditures. Capital expenditures increased to $894 million in the first six months of 2000, compared to $649 million in the first six months of 1999, reflecting higher spending on variable capital to facilitate a more aggressive roll-out of Time Warner Cable's popular digital cable and high-speed online services. Cash used by financing activities was $962 million in the first six months of 2000, compared to $827 million in the first six months of 1999. The use of cash in 2000 principally resulted from the payment of $473 million of capital distributions to Time Warner and $423 million of debt reduction. The use of cash in 1999 principally resulted from the redemption of preferred stock of a subsidiary at an aggregate cost of $217 million, the payment of $280 million of capital distributions to Time Warner and $229 million of debt reduction. Management believes that TWE's operating cash flow, cash and equivalents and additional borrowing capacity are sufficient to fund its capital and liquidity needs for the foreseeable future. 42 TIME WARNER ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY, L.P. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION--(CONTINUED) CABLE CAPITAL SPENDING Time Warner Cable has been engaged in a plan to upgrade the technological capability and reliability of its cable television systems and develop new services, which it believes will position the business for sustained, long-term growth. Capital spending by TWE's Cable segment amounted to $836 million in the six months ended June 30, 2000, compared to $587 million in the six months ended June 30, 1999. Cable capital spending for the remainder of 2000 is budgeted to be approximately $850 million, reflecting higher spending on variable capital to facilitate a more aggressive roll-out of Time Warner Cable's popular digital cable and high-speed online services. Capital spending is expected to continue to be funded by cable operating cash flow. INVESTMENT IN ROAD RUNNER In June 1998, Time Warner, TWE, TWE-A/N, MediaOne, Microsoft Corp. ("Microsoft") and Compaq Computer Corp. ("Compaq") formed a joint venture to operate and expand Time Warner Cable's and MediaOne's existing high-speed online businesses ("Road Runner"). In exhange for contributing these operations, TWE and TWE-A/N received a collective 57.9% common equity interest in Road Runner and MediaOne received a 31.4% interest. In exchange for Microsoft and Compaq contributing $425 million of cash to Road Runner, Microsoft and Compaq each received a preferred equity interest therein that is convertible into a 10% common equity interest (the "Preferred Equity Interests"). In June 2000, AT&T Corp. ("AT&T") acquired MediaOne Group, Inc. ("MediaOne"). As a condition to closing the acquisition, AT&T agreed to a requirement by the United States Department of Justice to divest itself of MediaOne's interest in Road Runner within an eighteen-month period of time. As a result, TWE is evaluating strategic alternatives for restructuring Road Runner's ownership and operations. In connection with some of these alternatives, TWE could be required to record a one-time restructuring charge that could range from $150-250 million. This charge would be expected to cover any premium paid to redeem Road Runner's Preferred Equity Interests, lease termination and other related restructuring costs. Such a charge would be recorded in interest and other, net. In addition, as part of a restructuring, TWE's Cable segment could begin consolidating a portion of the operations of Road Runner. This would result in the Cable segment recognizing operating losses from Road Runner, which previously had been included in interest and other, net, through TWE's equity in the pretax losses of Road Runner. WARNER BROS. BACKLOG Warner Bros.'s backlog represents the amount of future revenue not yet recorded from cash contracts for the licensing of theatrical and television product for pay cable, basic cable, network and syndicated television exhibition. Warner Bros.'s backlog amounted to $3.178 billion at June 30, 2000, compared to $3.033 billion at December 31, 1999 (including amounts relating to licensing of film product to TWE's cable television networks of $331 million and to Time Warner's cable television networks of $650 million at June 30, 2000 and $365 million to TWE's cable television networks and $599 million to Time Warner's cable television networks at December 31, 1999). Because backlog generally relates to contracts for the licensing of theatrical and television product which have already been produced, the recognition of revenue for such completed product is principally only dependent upon the commencement of the availability period for telecast under the terms of the related licensing agreement. Cash licensing fees are received periodically over the term of the related licensing agreements or on an accelerated basis using a $500 million securitization facility. The portion of backlog for which cash has not already been received has significant off-balance sheet asset value as a source of future funding. As of June 30, 2000, including cash received under the 43 TIME WARNER ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY, L.P. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION--(CONTINUED) securitization facility and other advanced payments, approximately $625 million of cash licensing fees had been collected against the backlog. The backlog excludes advertising barter contracts, which are also expected to result in the future realization of revenues and cash through the sale of advertising spots received under such contracts. CAUTION CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS The Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") encourages companies to disclose forward-looking information so that investors can better understand a company's future prospects and make informed investment decisions. This document, together with management's public commentary related thereto, contains such "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, particularly statements anticipating future growth in revenues, EBITA and cash flow. Words such as "anticipates," "estimates," "expects," "projects," "intends," "plans," "believes" and words and terms of similar substance used in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial performance identify such forward-looking statements. Those forward-looking statements are management's present expectations or beliefs about future events. As with any projection or forecast, they are inherently susceptible to uncertainty and changes in circumstances, and TWE is under no obligation to (and expressly disclaims any such obligation to) update or alter its forward-looking statements whether as a result of such changes, new information, future events or otherwise. TWE operates in highly competitive, consumer driven and rapidly changing media and entertainment businesses that are dependent on government regulation and economic, political and social conditions in the countries in which they operate, consumer demand for their products and services, technological developments and (particularly in view of technological changes) protection of their intellectual property rights. TWE's actual results could differ materially from management's expectations because of changes in such factors. Some of the other factors that also could cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements include those identified in TWE's other filings with the SEC and: o For TWE's cable business, more aggressive than expected competition from new technologies and other types of video programming distributors, including DBS and DSL; increases in government regulation of basic cable or equipment rates or other terms of service (such as "digital must-carry" or common carrier requirements); increased difficulty in obtaining franchise renewals; the failure of new equipment (such as digital set-top boxes) or services (such as digital cable, high-speed online services, telephony over cable or video on demand) to appeal to enough consumers or to be available at reasonable prices to function as expected and to be delivered in a timely fashion; and greater than expected increases in programming or other costs. o For TWE's cable programming and television businesses, greater than expected programming or production costs; public and cable operator resistance to price increases (and the negative impact on premium programmers of increases in basic cable rates); increased regulation of distribution agreements; the sensitivity of advertising to economic cyclicality; and greater than expected fragmentation of consumer viewership due to an increased number of programming services or the increased popularity of alternatives to television. o For TWE's film and television businesses, their ability to continue to attract and select desirable talent and scripts at manageable costs; general increases in production costs; fragmentation of consumer leisure and entertainment time (and its possible negative effects on the broadcast and cable networks, which are significant customers of these businesses); continued popularity of merchandising; and the uncertain impact of technological developments such as DVD and the Internet. 44 TIME WARNER ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY, L.P. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION--(CONTINUED) o For TWE's digital media businesses, their ability to locate and invest in profitable businesses, to develop products and services that are attractive, accessible and commercially viable in terms of content, technology and cost; their ability to manage costs and generate revenues; aggressive competition from existing and developing technologies and products; the resolution of issues concerning commercial activities via the Internet, including security, reliability, cost, ease of use and access; and the possibility of increased government regulation of new media services. In addition, TWE's overall financial strategy, including growth in operations, maintaining its financial ratios and strengthened balance sheet, could be adversely affected by increased interest rates, failure to meet earnings expectations, significant acquisitions or other transactions, consequences of the euro conversion and changes in TWE's plans, strategies and intentions. 45 TIME WARNER ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY, L.P.

See accompanying notes. 49 TIME WARNER ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY, L.P. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) 1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS Time Warner Entertainment Company, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("TWE"), classifies its business interests into four fundamental areas: Cable Networks, consisting principally of interests in cable television programming; Filmed Entertainment, consisting principally of interests in filmed entertainment, television production and television broadcasting; Cable, consisting principally of interests in cable television systems; and Digital Media, consisting principally of interests in Internet-related and digital media businesses. Each of the business interests within Cable Networks, Filmed Entertainment, Cable and Digital Media is important to TWE's objective of increasing partner value through the creation, extension and distribution of recognizable brands and copyrights throughout the world. Such brands and copyrights include (1) HBO and Cinemax, the leading pay-television services, (2) the unique and extensive film, television and animation libraries of Warner Bros. and trademarks such as the Looney Tunes characters and Batman, (3) The WB Network, a national broadcasting network launched in 1995 as an extension of the Warner Bros. brand and as an additional distribution outlet for Warner Bros.'s collection of children's cartoons and television programming, (4) Time Warner Cable, the second largest operator of cable television systems in the U.S. and (5) Internet websites, such as Entertaindom.com. The operating results of TWE's various business segments are presented herein as an indication of financial performance (Note 5). Except for start-up losses incurred in connection with The WB Network and Digital Media, TWE's principal business segments generate significant operating income and cash flow from operations. The cash flow from operations generated by such business segments is considerably greater than their operating income due to significant amounts of noncash amortization of intangible assets recognized principally in Time Warner Inc.'s ("Time Warner") $14 billion acquisition of Warner Communications Inc. ("WCI") in 1989 and $1.3 billion acquisition of the minority interest in American Television and Communications Corporation ("ATC") in 1992, a portion of which cost was allocated to TWE upon the capitalization of the partnership. Noncash amortization of intangible assets recorded by TWE's business segments amounted to $141 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000 and $120 million for the three months ended June 30, 1999. On a year-to-date basis, noncash amortization of intangible assets recorded by TWE's business segments amounted to $281 million in 2000 and $236 million in 1999. Certain of Time Warner's wholly owned subsidiaries collectively own general and limited partnership interests in TWE consisting of 74.49% of the pro rata priority capital ("Series A Capital") and residual equity capital ("Residual Capital"), and 100% of the junior priority capital ("Series B Capital"). The remaining 25.51% limited partnership interests in the Series A Capital and Residual Capital of TWE are held by a subsidiary of MediaOne Group, Inc. ("MediaOne"), which was acquired by AT&T Corp. on June 15, 2000. Certain of Time Warner's subsidiaries are the general partners of TWE ("Time Warner General Partners"). BASIS OF PRESENTATION Interim Financial Statements The accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited but, in the opinion of management, contain all the adjustments (consisting of those of a normal recurring nature) considered necessary to present fairly the financial position and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to interim periods. The accompanying consolidated financial statements should be read 50 TIME WARNER ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY, L.P. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED) (UNAUDITED) in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of TWE included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999 (the "1999 Form 10-K"). Cumulative Effect of Change in Film Accounting Principle In June 2000, TWE adopted Statement of Position 00-2, "Accounting by Producers and Distributors of Films" ("SOP 00-2"). SOP 00-2 established new film accounting standards, including changes in revenue recognition and accounting for advertising, development and overhead costs. Specifically, SOP 00-2 requires advertising costs for theatrical and television product to be expensed as incurred. This compares to TWE's previous policy of first capitalizing and then expensing advertising costs for theatrical product over the related revenue streams. In addition, SOP 00-2 requires development costs for abandoned projects and certain indirect overhead costs to be charged directly to expense, instead of those costs being capitalized to film costs, which was required under the previous accounting model. SOP 00-2 also requires all film costs to be classified in the balance sheet as noncurrent assets. Provisions of SOP 00-2 in other areas, such as revenue recognition, generally are consistent with TWE's existing accounting policies. TWE has adopted the provisions of SOP 00-2 retroactively to the beginning of 2000. As a result, TWE's net income for the six months ended June 30, 2000 includes a one-time, noncash charge of $524 million, primarily to reduce the carrying value of its film inventory. This charge has been reflected as a cumulative effect of an accounting change in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. As a result of adopting the provisions of SOP 00-2 retroactively to the beginning of 2000, TWE has restated its operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2000, as follows: AS REPORTED AS RESTATED ----------- ----------- (MILLIONS) Revenues................................................................... $3,297 $3,311 Business segment operating income.......................................... 497 499 Income before cumulative effect of accounting change....................... 222 224 Net income (loss).......................................................... 222 (300) Revenue Classification Changes In June 2000, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued an amendment to Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements" ("SAB 101"), which delays the implementation date for TWE to the fourth quarter of 2000. While TWE's existing revenue recognition policies are consistent with the provisions of SAB 101, the new rules are expected to result in some changes in how the filmed entertainment industry classifies its revenues and costs, particularly relating to distribution arrangements for third-party and co-financed joint venture product. As a result of these classification changes, it is expected that both annual revenues and costs in TWE's filmed entertainment businesses will be reduced by an equal amount of approximately $1.5-2 billion. Similarly, it is expected that TWE's disclosure of the amount of backlog, which represents the amount of future revenue not yet recorded from cash contracts for the licensing of theatrical and television product, will be reduced by approximately $500-700 million, depending upon the amount of third-party and co-financed joint venture product being licensed. TWE is continuing to evaluate the overall impact of SAB 101 on its consolidated financial statements; however, other aspects of SAB 101 are not expected to have a significant effect on TWE's consolidated financial statements. Reclassifications Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year's financial statements to conform to the 2000 presentation. 51 TIME WARNER ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY, L.P. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED) (UNAUDITED) 2. SIGNIFICANT TRANSACTIONS AMERICA ONLINE-TIME WARNER MERGER In January 2000, Time Warner and America Online, Inc. ("America Online") announced that they had entered into an agreement to merge (the "Merger") by forming a new holding company named AOL Time Warner Inc. ("AOL Time Warner"). The Merger will create a leading, fully integrated media and communications company that will combine Time Warner's and TWE's collection of media, entertainment and news brands and its technologically advanced cable infrastructure with America Online's extensive Internet franchises and technology. Management believes that the combined company will be well positioned to expand the use of the Internet in consumers' everyday lives and, accordingly, provide Time Warner's and TWE's content businesses with increased access to consumers through a new and growing distribution medium. Management further believes that the Merger will result in significant new business and other value-creation opportunities, including additional opportunities for e-commerce, growth in subscribers for each company's products and services, and cost and operating efficiencies from cross-promotional and other opportunities. As a result of the Merger, the former shareholders of America Online will have an approximate 55% interest in AOL Time Warner and the former shareholders of Time Warner will have an approximate 45% interest in the combined entity, expressed on a fully diluted basis. The Merger is expected to be accounted for by AOL Time Warner as an acquisition of Time Warner under the purchase method of accounting for business combinations. The Merger was approved by the shareholders of America Online and Time Warner on June 23, 2000. The Merger is expected to close in the fall of 2000 and is subject to customary closing conditions, including all necessary regulatory approvals. There can be no assurance that such approvals will be obtained. SIX FLAGS In 1998, TWE sold its remaining 49% interest in Six Flags Entertainment Corporation ("Six Flags") to Premier Parks Inc. ("Premier," now known as Six Flags Inc.), a regional theme park operator, for approximately $475 million. TWE initially deferred a $400 million gain on the transaction principally as a result of uncertainties surrounding its realization. Those uncertainties related to litigation and TWE's guarantees of Premier's long-term obligations to make minimum payments to the limited partners of the Six Flags Over Texas and Six Flags Over Georgia theme parks (the "Co-Venture Guarantees"). TWE management periodically had evaluated its reasonably possible risk of loss relating to the Six Flags litigation and Co-Venture Guarantees. Based on the improving financial performance of Premier and the Six Flags Over Texas and Six Flags Over Georgia theme parks, management believed that its aggregate financial exposure had declined steadily. Accordingly, TWE periodically recognized a portion of the deferred gain as its realization became more fully assured. For each quarter of 1999 and in the first quarter of 2000, a $10 million pretax gain was recognized. These amounts have been included in business segment operating income in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. In December 1998, a jury returned an adverse verdict in the Six Flags litigation in the amount of $454 million. TWE and its former 51% partner in Six Flags are financially responsible for this judgment. TWE appealed the verdict, but, in July 2000, an appellate court unexpectedly affirmed the jury's verdict. As a result, TWE revised its estimate of its financial exposure and recorded a one-time, pretax charge of $50 million in the second quarter of 2000 to cover its additional financial exposure in excess of established reserves. These reserves consisted of the unrecognized portion of 52 TIME WARNER ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY, L.P. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED) (UNAUDITED) the deferred gain and accrued interest. The $50 million charge is classified in two components in TWE's accompanying consolidated statement of operations: $26 million of the charge, representing an accrual for additional interest, is included in interest and other, net, and the remaining $24 million is included in business segment operating income. GAINS (LOSSES) ON SALE OR EXCHANGE OF CABLE TELEVISION SYSTEMS AND INVESTMENTS In 2000 and 1999, largely in an effort to enhance their geographic clustering of cable television properties, TWE sold or exchanged various cable television systems and investments. In connection with these transactions, TWE's cable segment recognized net pretax losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000 of approximately $8 million and net pretax gains of approximately $760 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999. Such amounts have been included in business segment operating income in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. 1999 GAIN ON TERMINATION OF VIDEO DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT In March 1999, Warner Bros. and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Inc. ("MGM") terminated a long-term distribution agreement under which Warner Bros. had exclusive worldwide distribution rights for MGM/United Artists home video product. In connection with the early termination and settlement of this distribution agreement, Warner Bros. recognized a net pretax gain of approximately $215 million, which has been included in 1999 business segment operating income in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. 3.

PARTNERS' CAPITAL TWE is required to make distributions to reimburse the partners for income taxes at statutory rates based on their allocable share of taxable income, and to reimburse Time Warner for stock options granted to employees of TWE based on the amount by which the market price of Time Warner Inc. common stock exceeds the option exercise price 53 TIME WARNER ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY, L.P. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED) (UNAUDITED) on the exercise date or, with respect to options granted prior to the TWE capitalization on June 30, 1992, the greater of the exercise price or the $13.88 market price of Time Warner Inc. common stock at the time of the TWE capitalization. TWE accrues a stock option distribution and a corresponding liability with respect to unexercised options when the market price of Time Warner Inc. common stock increases during the accounting period, and reverses previously accrued stock option distributions and the corresponding liability when the market price of Time Warner Inc. common stock declines. During the six months ended June 30, 2000, TWE accrued $284 million of tax-related distributions and $225 million of stock option distributions, based on closing prices of Time Warner Inc. common stock of $76 at June 30, 2000 and $72.31 at December 31, 1999. During the six months ended June 30, 1999, TWE accrued $138 million of tax-related distributions and $359 million of stock option distributions as a result of an increase at that time in the market price of Time Warner Inc. common stock. During the six months ended June 30, 2000, TWE paid distributions to the Time Warner General Partners in the amount of $473 million, consisting of $284 million of tax-related distributions and $189 million of stock option related distributions. During the six months ended June 30, 1999, TWE paid distributions to the Time Warner General Partners in the amount of $280 million, consisting of $138 million of tax-related distributions and $142 million of stock option related distributions. 5. SEGMENT INFORMATION TWE classifies its business interests into four fundamental areas: Cable Networks, consisting principally of interests in cable television programming; Filmed Entertainment, consisting principally of interests in filmed entertainment, television production and television broadcasting; Cable, consisting principally of interests in cable television systems; and Digital Media, consisting principally of interests in Internet-related and digital media businesses. TWE's Digital Media segment commenced operations in the fourth quarter of 1999. Information as to the operations of TWE in different business segments is set forth below based on the nature of the products and services offered. TWE evaluates performance based on several factors, of which the primary financial measure is business segment operating income before noncash amortization of intangible assets ("EBITA"). The accounting policies of the business segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies under Note 1 in TWE's 1999 Form 10-K. Intersegment sales are accounted for at fair value as if the sales were to third parties.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES TWE is subject to certain litigation relating to Six Flags. In December 1998, a jury returned an adverse verdict in the Six Flags matter in the amount of $454 million. TWE and its former 51% partner in Six Flags are financially responsible for this judgment. As described in Note 2, TWE appealed the verdict, but, in July 2000, an appellate court unexpectedly affirmed the jury's verdict. As a result, TWE revised its estimate of its financial exposure and recorded 55 TIME WARNER ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY, L.P. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED) (UNAUDITED) a one-time, pretax charge of $50 million in the second quarter of 2000 to cover its additional financial exposure in excess of established reserves. TWE is subject to numerous other legal proceedings. In management's opinion and considering established reserves, the resolution of these matters will not have a material effect, individually and in the aggregate, on TWE's consolidated financial statements. 7.

OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS. Reference is made to Six Flags Over Georgia LLC et al. v. Time Warner Entertainment Company, L.P., described on page I-32 of Time Warner's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999 (the "1999 Form 10-K"). On July 13, 2000, the Georgia Court of Appeals affirmed the trial court's judgment. Time Warner filed a motion for reconsideration with the Court of Appeals, which the Court of Appeals denied on July 27, 2000. Defendants will seek certiorari from the Supreme Court of Georgia. Reference is made to Ottinger & Silvey et al. v. EMI Music Distribution, Inc. et al., described on page I-33 of the 1999 Form 10-K. The defendants' motion to dismiss has been briefed and is pending before the Court. Reference is made to Digital Distribution Inc. d/b/a Compact Disc Warehouse v. CEMA Distribution et al., and the related suits described on page I-33 of the 1999 Form 10-K. On June 15, 2000, the Court denied plaintiffs' motion for class certification. On June 28, 2000, plaintiffs applied for interlocutory review by the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. On July 17, 2000, the Ninth Circuit issued an order directing plaintiffs to move for voluntary dismissal of their application or to show cause why the application should not be dismissed, on the ground that the application was untimely filed. Plaintiffs have filed their response to the Ninth Circuit's Order to Show Cause. Bauman v. EMI Music Distribution et al., filed in Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York on May 12, 2000, and numerous other lawsuits have been brought against Time Warner, among other defendants, in various state and federal courts by purported classes of direct and/or indirect purchasers of compact discs, including consumers, alleging vertical and/or horizontal conspiracies to engage in price fixing in violation of state and federal law. Many of these lawsuits focus on the Consent Order signed by the major record companies with the Federal Trade Commission ("FTC") with respect to the FTC's investigation of minimum advertised price ("MAP") programs described on pages I-11, I-32 and I-33 of Time Warner's 1999 Form 10-K. The Consent Order was on public notice for comment until June 3 and is now before the FTC for final approval. On August 8, 2000, attorneys general of 30 states filed an action titled State of Florida et al. v. BMG Music et al., in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, alleging that a number of record distributors, including Warner-Elektra-Atlantic Corp., and several record retailers had violated state and federal antitrust laws through the adoption and implementation of MAP programs. Reference is made to the lawsuit brought by the former President of Indonesia, H. M. Suharto, against Time Inc. Asia and certain individuals, described on page I-33 of the 1999 Form 10-K. On June 6, 2000, the Central Jakarta District Court in Indonesia ruled in Time Warner's favor on all counts. Mr. Suharto has filed an appeal of the Court's ruling. On April 12, 2000, Chambers et al. v. Time Warner Inc. et al., was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The plaintiffs, purportedly representing a class of recording artists, challenge whether defendants have a federal copyright in certain sound recordings created and published prior to 1972. Time Warner has filed a motion to dismiss, as well as an opposition to plaintiffs' motion for class certification. Both motions are pending. In Huffman et al. v. The Hearst Corporation et al., which was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York on June 30, 2000, three plaintiffs have purported to bring a class action lawsuit on behalf of magazine subscribers against a trade association (Magazine Publishers of America) and twelve magazine publishers, including Time Inc. Plaintiffs allege that defendants have violated federal antitrust law by agreeing to limit the extent to which they discount the price of subscriptions to their magazines. Since the Huffman suit was filed, seven other similar lawsuits have been filed in the Southern District of New York. ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS. On January 21, 2000, Time Warner Entertainment Company, L.P. ("TWE"), acquired the remaining partnership interest in Queens Inner Unity Cable System that it did not already own. As part of the consideration for 57 this acquisition, TWE transferred to the seller, Inner City Broadcasting Corporation, in a private placement 450,000 shares of Time Warner common stock that Time Warner sold to TWE on the same day for $40.5 million in a private placement exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The proceeds of the sale were used by Time Warner for general corporate purposes. On February 16, 2000, Time Warner filed with the Commission a registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-30532) covering the resale of these shares. This registration statement was declared effective on May 24, 2000 and all the securities registered for sale thereunder have been sold. ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.
