OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION – (Continued)
OVERVIEW
     Time Warner is a leading media and entertainment company, whose major businesses encompass an array of the most respected and successful media brands. Among the Company’s brands are HBO, TNT, TBS, CNN, Warner Bros., New Line Cinema, People, Sports Illustrated and Time. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company generated revenues of $12.699 billion (up 7% from $11.916 billion in 2009), Operating Income of $2.657 billion (up 31% from $2.025 billion in 2009), Net Income attributable to Time Warner shareholders of $1.287 billion (up 9% from $1.184 billion in 2009) and Cash Provided by Operations from Continuing Operations of $1.388 billion (down 14% from $1.611 billion in 2009).
Time Warner Businesses
     Time Warner classifies its operations into three reportable segments: Networks, Filmed Entertainment and Publishing. For additional information regarding Time Warner’s business segments, refer to Note 12, “Segment Information,” in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
     Networks. Time Warner’s Networks segment consists of Turner Broadcasting System, Inc. (“Turner”) and Home Box Office, Inc. (“HBO”). During the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Networks segment generated revenues of $6.128 billion (48% of the Company’s overall revenues) and $2.182 billion in Operating Income.
     Turner operates domestic and international networks, including such recognized brands as TNT, TBS, CNN, Cartoon Network, truTV and HLN, which are among the leaders in advertising-supported cable television networks. The Turner networks generate revenues principally from providing programming to cable system operators, satellite distribution services, telephone companies and other distributors (known as affiliates) that have contracted to receive and distribute this programming and from the sale of advertising. Key contributors to Turner’s success are its strong brands and continued investments in high-quality, popular programming focused on sports, original and syndicated series, news, network movie premieres and animation to drive audience delivery and revenue growth. During the first half of 2010, Advertising revenue at Turner benefited from an improved advertising environment both domestically and internationally.
     HBO operates the HBO and Cinemax multichannel premium pay television programming services, with the HBO service ranking as the nation’s most widely distributed premium pay television service. HBO generates revenues principally from providing programming to affiliates that have contracted to receive and distribute such programming to subscribers who choose to receive the HBO or Cinemax services. An additional source of revenues for HBO is the sale and licensing of its original programming, including Entourage, True Blood, The Pacific, The Sopranos and Rome.
     The Company’s Networks segment has been pursuing international expansion in select areas. For example, in the first quarter of 2010, HBO acquired the remainder of its partners’ interests in HBO Central Europe (“HBO CE”) and purchased an additional 21% equity interest in HBO Latin America Group, consisting of HBO Brasil, HBO Olé and HBO Latin America Production Services (collectively, “HBO LAG”), and Turner acquired a majority stake in NDTV Imagine Limited, which owns a Hindi general entertainment channel in India. In recent years, Turner has also expanded its presence in Germany, Japan, Korea, Latin America, Turkey and the United Arab Emirates, and HBO has acquired additional equity interests in HBO Asia, HBO South Asia and HBO LAG. The Company anticipates that international expansion will continue to be an area of focus at the Networks segment for the foreseeable future.
     Filmed Entertainment. Time Warner’s Filmed Entertainment segment consists of businesses managed by the Warner Bros. Entertainment Group (“Warner Bros.”) that principally produce and distribute theatrical motion pictures, including Inception, Clash of the Titans, Sex and the City 2, The Blind Side, Sherlock Holmes and the Harry Potter films, as well as television shows and videogames. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Filmed Entertainment segment generated revenues of $5.210 billion (39% of the Company’s overall revenues) and $480 million in Operating Income.
     The Filmed Entertainment segment’s diversified sources of revenues within its film and television businesses, including its extensive film library and global distribution infrastructure, have helped it to deliver consistent long-term operating performance. Theatrical product revenues principally are generated domestically and internationally through rentals from theatrical exhibition and subsequently through licensing fees received for the distribution of films on television networks

and pay television programming services. Television product revenues principally are generated domestically and internationally from the licensing of the Filmed Entertainment segment’s programs on television networks and pay television programming services. The Filmed Entertainment segment also generates revenues for both its theatrical and television product through home video distribution on DVD and Blu-ray Discs and in various digital formats.
     Warner Bros. continues to be an industry leader in the television content business. During the 2009-2010 broadcast season, Warner Bros. produced more than 25 scripted primetime series, with at least one series airing on each of the five broadcast networks (including Two and a Half Men, The Mentalist, The Big Bang Theory, Gossip Girl, Fringe and Chuck) and original series for several cable networks (including The Closer and Southland).
     Home video distribution, in particular revenues from the distribution of DVDs, has been one of the largest drivers of the segment’s profits over the last several years. The industry and the Company experienced a decline in home video sales over the past two years as a result of several factors, including the general economic downturn in the U.S. and many regions around the world, increasing competition for consumer discretionary time and spending, piracy and the maturation of the standard definition DVD format. Beginning in 2009, the decline in home video revenues was also affected by consumers shifting to subscription rental services and discount rental kiosks, which generate significantly less revenue per transaction than DVD sales. Partially offsetting the softening consumer demand for standard definition DVDs and the shift to subscription services and kiosks were growing sales of high definition Blu-ray Discs and increased electronic delivery, which have higher gross margins than standard definition DVDs.
     To increase operational efficiencies, over the past several years the Filmed Entertainment segment has undertaken restructuring activities to reduce its cost structure and streamline operations, including combining certain operations of its studios and outsourcing certain functions.
     Publishing. Time Warner’s Publishing segment consists principally of magazine publishing and related websites as well as direct-marketing businesses. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Publishing segment generated revenues of $1.718 billion (13% of the Company’s overall revenues) and $203 million in Operating Income.
     As of June 30, 2010, Time Inc. published 22 magazines in the U.S., including People, Sports Illustrated, Time, InStyle, Real Simple, Southern Living, Entertainment Weekly and Fortune, and over 90 magazines outside the U.S., primarily through IPC Media (“IPC”) in the U.K. and Grupo Editorial Expansión (“GEE”) in Mexico. Time Inc. develops digital content for its magazine websites and also publishes magazine content on digital devices. The Publishing segment generates revenues primarily from advertising (including advertising on digital properties), magazine subscriptions and newsstand sales. Time Inc. also owns the magazine subscription marketer, Synapse Group, Inc. (“Synapse”), and the school and youth group fundraising business, QSP. Advertising sales at the Publishing segment, particularly print advertising sales, were significantly adversely affected by the economic environment during 2009. However, during the first half of 2010, the Publishing segment experienced an improvement in Advertising revenues driven by increases in domestic print advertising pages sold and digital advertising. Digital Advertising revenues were 14% of Time Inc.’s total Advertising revenues for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to 12% for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2009.
     In its ongoing effort to improve efficiency and reduce its cost structure, the Publishing segment executed restructuring initiatives, primarily relating to headcount reductions, in the fourth quarters of 2009 and 2008, which have benefitted the segment’s performance in 2010 and are expected to continue to benefit the segment’s performance during the remainder of 2010.
Recent Developments
July 2010 Debt Offering and Tender Offer
     As discussed more fully in “Financial Condition and Liquidity – Outstanding Debt and Other Financing Arrangements,” on July 14, 2010, Time Warner issued $3.0 billion aggregate principal amount of debt securities from a shelf registration statement.

amount of the outstanding 6.875% Notes due 2012 of Time Warner and $568 million aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 9.125% Debentures due 2013 of Historic TW Inc. (“Historic TW”) (as successor by merger to Time Warner Companies, Inc.) pursuant to a tender offer.
March 2010 Debt Offering and Tender Offer and April 2010 Redemption
     As discussed more fully in “Financial Condition and Liquidity – Outstanding Debt and Other Financing Arrangements,” on March 11, 2010, Time Warner issued $2.0 billion aggregate principal amount of debt securities from a shelf registration statement. The Company used a portion of the net proceeds from this debt offering to repurchase $773 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s outstanding 6.75% Notes due 2011 pursuant to a tender offer. On April 22, 2010, the Company redeemed the remaining $227 million aggregate principal amount of the 6.75% Notes due 2011.
Asset Securitization Arrangements
     During the first quarter of 2010, the Company repaid the $805 million outstanding under the Company’s two accounts receivable securitization facilities. The Company terminated the two accounts receivable securitization facilities on March 19, 2010 and March 24, 2010, respectively.
HBO LAG
     On March 9, 2010, HBO purchased additional interests in HBO LAG for $217 million in cash, which resulted in HBO owning 80% of the equity interests of HBO LAG. HBO accounts for this investment under the equity method of accounting. See Notes 1 and 2 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
HBO Central Europe Acquisition
     On January 27, 2010, HBO purchased the remainder of its partners’ interests in HBO CE for $136 million in cash, net of cash acquired. HBO CE operates the HBO and Cinemax premium pay television programming services serving 11 territories in Central Europe. The Company has consolidated the results of operations and financial condition of HBO CE effective January 27, 2010. Upon the acquisition of the controlling interest in HBO CE, a gain of $59 million was recognized reflecting the excess of the fair value over the Company’s carrying cost of its original investment in HBO CE. See Note 2 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Benefit Plan Amendments
     In March 2010, the Company’s Board of Directors approved amendments to its domestic defined benefit pension plans, which generally provide that (i) effective June 30, 2010, benefits provided under the plans will stop accruing for additional years of service and the plans will be closed to new hires and employees with less than one year of service and (ii) after December 31, 2013, pay increases will no longer be taken into consideration when determining a participating employee’s benefits under the plans.
     In addition, effective July 1, 2010, the Company will increase its matching contributions for eligible participants in the Time Warner Savings Plan. Effective January 1, 2011, the Company will also implement a supplemental savings plan that will provide for similar Company matching for eligible participant deferrals above the Internal Revenue Service compensation limits that apply to the Time Warner Savings Plan up to $500,000 of eligible compensation.
     The net effect of these changes is expected to result in a net annual decrease to employee benefit plan expense of approximately $50 million.
NCAA Basketball Programming Agreement
     On April 22, 2010, Turner, together with CBS Broadcasting, Inc. (“CBS”), entered into a 14-year agreement with The National Collegiate Athletic Association (the “NCAA”), which provides Turner and CBS with exclusive television,

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION – (Continued)
Internet, and wireless rights to the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Championship events (the “NCAA Tournament Games”) in the United States and its territories and possessions.
     Under the terms of the arrangement, Turner and CBS will work together to produce and distribute the NCAA Tournament Games and related programming commencing in 2011. The games will be televised on Turner’s TNT, TBS and truTV networks and on the CBS network and advertising will be sold on a joint basis.
     The aggregate programming rights fee of approximately $10.8 billion, which will be shared by Turner and CBS, will be paid by Turner to the NCAA over the 14-year term of the agreement. Further, Turner and CBS have agreed to share advertising and sponsorship revenues and production costs. In the event, however, that the programming rights fee and production costs exceed advertising and sponsorship revenues, CBS’s share of such shortfall is limited to specified annual amounts (the “Loss Cap Amounts”), ranging from approximately $90 million to $30 million (totaling approximately $670 million over the term of the agreement). Beginning in 2011, Turner’s share of the programming rights fee will be amortized based on the ratio of current period advertising revenue to total estimated advertising revenue over the term of the agreement. Any costs recognized and payable by Turner due to the Loss Cap Amounts will be expensed by the Company as incurred.

Income Tax Impact and Tax Items Related to TWC
     The income tax impact reflects the estimated tax provision or tax benefit associated with each item affecting comparability.

Consolidated Results
     The following discussion provides an analysis of the Company’s results of operations and should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.
     Revenues. The components of revenues are as follows (millions):
                                         
    Three Months Ended   Six Months Ended
    6/30/10   6/30/09   % Change   6/30/10   6/30/09   % Change

Content
    2,485       2,305     8%     5,278       4,953     7%

Total revenues
  $ 6,377     $ 5,920     8%   $ 12,699     $ 11,916     7%
 
                       
     The increase in Subscription revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 was primarily related to an increase at the Networks segment. Advertising revenues increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, primarily reflecting growth at the Networks and Publishing segments. The increase in Content revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 was due primarily to increases at the Filmed Entertainment and Networks segments.
     Each of the revenue categories is discussed in greater detail by segment in “Business Segment Results.”
     Costs of Revenues. For the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, costs of revenues totaled $3.599 billion and $3.334 billion, respectively, and, as a percentage of revenues, were 56% for both periods. For the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, costs of revenues totaled $6.952 billion and $6.692 billion, respectively, and, as a percentage of revenues, were 55% and 56%, respectively. The segment variations are discussed in detail in “Business Segment Results.”
     Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. For the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, selling, general and administrative expenses increased 4% to $1.512 billion in 2010 from $1.459 billion in 2009, due to increases at the Filmed Entertainment and Networks segments, partially offset by a decrease at the Publishing segment. For the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, selling, general and administrative expenses increased 1% to $3.000 billion in 2010 from $2.960 billion in 2009, due to increases at the Networks, Filmed Entertainment and Corporate segments, partially offset by a decrease at the Publishing segment. The segment variations are discussed in detail in “Business Segment Results.”
     Included in costs of revenues and selling, general and administrative expenses is depreciation expense, which increased to $170 million and $334 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively, compared to $165 million and $330 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively.

for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively, compared to 41% and 37% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively. The decrease for the three months ended June 30, 2010 was primarily due to lower interest on uncertain tax positions during the three months ended June 30, 2010 and the loss on the sale of the Warner Bros. Italian cinema assets for which no benefit was recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2009. The decrease for the six months ended June 30, 2010 also reflected the tax benefits related to TWC, as previously discussed, during the six months ended June 30, 2009, partially offset by the benefit of valuation allowance releases during the six months ended June 30, 2010.
     Income from Continuing Operations.

Excluding the items previously noted under “Significant Transactions and Other Items Affecting Comparability” totaling $8 million and $9 million of expense, net for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, income from continuing operations increased by $393 million, primarily reflecting higher Operating Income, partially offset by higher income tax expense. Basic and diluted income per common share from continuing operations attributable to Time Warner Inc. common shareholders were $1.12 and $1.11, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $0.75 for both for the six months ended June 30, 2009.

(“AOL”) as discontinued operations, and for the six months ended June 30, 2009 included the impact of treating the results of operations and financial condition of TWC as discontinued operations. Discontinued operations, net of tax was income of $100 million and $326 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively. Discontinued operations, net of tax for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 included AOL’s results for the period January 1, 2009 through June 30, 2009 and for the six months ended June 30, 2009 included TWC’s results for the period from January 1, 2009 through March 12, 2009.

     The increase in Subscription revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 was comprised of an increase in domestic subscription revenues of $107 million and $191 million, respectively, mainly due to higher domestic subscription rates and an increase in international subscription revenues of $46 million and $93 million, respectively, primarily due to international growth, including the consolidation of HBO CE and the favorable impact of foreign exchange rates.
     The increase in Advertising revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 was due to growth at Turner’s domestic networks of $67 million and $104 million, respectively, mainly as a result of strong scatter demand and yield management, which was partially offset by audience declines as well as growth at its international networks of $59 million and $89 million, respectively, mainly due to increased demand and expansion.
     The increase in Content revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 was due primarily to higher sales of HBO’s original programming of $15 million and $35 million, respectively, which for the six months ended June 30, 2010 included the domestic basic cable television sale of Entourage as well as higher international licensing revenues.
     For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, Costs of revenues increased 8% and 5%, respectively, and as a percentage of revenues were 48% and 45% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively, compared to 50% and 47% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2010, programming costs increased 8% to $1.200 billion from $1.115 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2009, and, for the six months ended June 30, 2010, increased 3% to $2.080 billion from $2.015 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2009. The increase in programming costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 was due primarily to higher original programming costs, and, for the three months ended June 30, 2010, higher licensed programming costs. The increases in Costs of revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 also reflected higher operating costs of $24 million and $65 million, respectively, primarily related to international expansion.
     For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, selling, general and administrative expenses increased due primarily to an increase in marketing expenses, merit-based increases in compensation, higher overhead expenses and the unfavorable effect of foreign exchange rates.

     As previously noted under “Significant Transactions and Other Items Affecting Comparability,” the results for the six months ended June 30, 2010 included a $59 million gain that was recognized upon the acquisition of the controlling interest in HBO CE, reflecting the excess of the fair value over the Company’s carrying costs of its original investment in HBO CE.
     Operating Income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 increased primarily due to the increase in revenues, partially offset by higher costs of revenues and selling, general and administrative expenses. Operating Income for the six months ended June 30, 2010 also benefited from the $59 million gain relating to HBO CE.

     The increase in Content revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 included the positive impact of foreign exchange rates on many of the segment’s international operations.
     The increase in theatrical film revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 was due primarily to the success of key films released in the second quarter of 2010, which included Clash of the Titans, Sex and the City 2 and A Nightmare on Elm Street, compared to the similar period in 2009, which included The Hangover and Terminator Salvation. Theatrical film revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2010 also included revenues from Valentine’s Day and The Book of Eli and carryover revenues from Sherlock Holmes and The Blind Side, and for the six months ended June 30, 2009 included revenues from Watchmen and He’s Just Not That Into You and carryover revenues from Gran Torino and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Theatrical product revenues from home video and electronic delivery decreased for the three months ended June 30, 2010 primarily due to the effect of improved home video catalog returns in the prior year period. Theatrical product revenues from home video and electronic delivery increased for the six months ended June 30, 2010 primarily due to the quantity and performance of first quarter 2010 releases. Significant titles in 2010 included The Blind Side, Sherlock Holmes, The Book of Eli and Where the Wild Things Are compared to 2009, which included Gran Torino, Body of Lies, Yes Man and Nights in Rodanthe. Theatrical product revenues from television licensing increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 due primarily to the quantity and mix of availabilities.
     The increase in television product licensing fees for the three months ended June 30, 2010 was primarily due to a higher number of new series, the timing of network deliveries and the initial off-network availability of The Closer. The decrease in television product licensing fees for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was primarily due to the 2009 conclusion of several series with high licensing fees, including Without a Trace and ER. The decrease in television product revenues from home video and electronic delivery for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 primarily resulted from lower sales of older series.
     The increase in other Content revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 was due primarily to the second-quarter 2010 interactive video game release of LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4.

OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION – (Continued)
     The increase in costs of revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 resulted primarily from higher film costs and higher advertising and print costs due mainly to the quantity and mix of films released, including a higher number of films released internationally. Film costs increased to $1.171 billion and $2.304 billion for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively, from $1.014 billion and $2.281 billion for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively.

Costs of revenues as a percentage of revenues were 73% and 71% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively, compared to 70% and 71% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively. This percentage varies from period to period based on the quantity, mix and timing of theatrical releases.
     The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 was primarily the result of merit-based increases in compensation.
     As previously noted under “Significant Transactions and Other Items Affecting Comparability,” the results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 included a $33 million loss on the sale of Warner Bros.’ Italian cinema assets. In addition, the results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 included $3 million and $7 million of restructuring costs, respectively, primarily relating to headcount reductions and the outsourcing of certain functions. The results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 included $31 million and $68 million, respectively, of restructuring charges, primarily relating to headcount reductions and the outsourcing of certain functions.
     The increase in Operating Income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 was primarily due to the changes discussed above, including the effect of improved home video catalog returns in 2009 of approximately $30 million.

     Advertising revenues increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 primarily due to increases in domestic print advertising revenues of $18 million and $26 million, respectively, due to improvements in domestic print advertising pages sold and increases in digital advertising revenues of $11 million and $21 million, respectively.
     The decrease in Other revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 is due primarily to the sale of Southern Living At Home in the third quarter of 2009 and declines at other non-magazine businesses, including Synapse and QSP.

     Costs of revenues decreased 3% and 5% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively, and as a percentage of revenues, were 37% and 38% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to 39% and 40% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively. Costs of revenues for the magazine and digital businesses include manufacturing costs (paper, printing and distribution) and editorial-related costs, which together decreased slightly to $307 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 from $308 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and decreased 2% to $581 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 from $595 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009, primarily due to cost savings initiatives and lower paper costs associated with a decline in paper prices.
     Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 decreased due primarily to lower marketing expenses, lower pension expenses and cost savings resulting from Time Inc.’s fourth quarter 2009 restructuring activities. In addition, for the six months ended June 30, 2010, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased due to the absence of an $18 million prior year bad debt reserve related to a newsstand wholesaler.
     Operating Income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 increased due primarily to decreases in selling, general and administrative expenses and costs of revenues.

     For the three months ended June 30, 2010, Operating Loss increased compared to the prior year, reflecting merit-based increases in compensation, partially offset by lower pension expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, Operating Loss increased compared to the prior year, reflecting merit-based increases in compensation, severance charges and an increase in legal and other professional fees related to the defense of former employees in various lawsuits, partially offset by lower pension expenses.
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY
     Management believes that cash generated by or available to the Company should be sufficient to fund its capital and liquidity needs for the foreseeable future, including quarterly dividend payments, the remainder of the $3 billion common stock repurchase program and scheduled debt repayments. Time Warner’s sources of cash include cash provided by operations, cash and equivalents on hand, available borrowing capacity under its committed credit facilities and commercial paper program and access to capital markets. Time Warner’s unused committed capacity at June 30, 2010 was $11.179 billion, including $4.238 billion of cash and equivalents.
Current Financial Condition
     At June 30, 2010, Time Warner had $16.520 billion of debt, $4.238 billion of cash and equivalents (net debt, defined as total debt less cash and equivalents, of $12.282 billion) and $33.105 billion of shareholders’ equity, compared to $16.208 billion of debt, $4.733 billion of cash and equivalents (net debt of $11.475 billion) and $33.396 billion of shareholders’ equity at December 31, 2009.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION – (Continued)
     Cash provided by operations from continuing operations decreased to $1.388 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2010 from $1.611 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2009. The decrease in cash provided by operations from continuing operations was related primarily to cash used by working capital and higher income taxes paid, partially offset by an increase in Operating Income. Working capital is subject to wide fluctuations based on the timing of cash transactions related to production schedules, the acquisition of programming, collection of accounts receivable and similar items.

The change in cash provided (used) by investing activities from continuing operations was primarily due to the Company’s receipt of $9.253 billion on March 12, 2009 as its portion of the payment by TWC of the special cash dividend of $10.27 per share to all holders of TWC Class A Common Stock and TWC Class B Common Stock as of the close of business on March 11, 2009 (the “Special Dividend”) in connection with the separation of TWC from the Company, as well as an increase in investments and acquisitions.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION – (Continued)
     Cash used by financing activities from continuing operations decreased to $1.214 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2010 from $5.221 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2009. The decrease in cash used by financing activities from continuing operations was primarily due to a decrease in debt repayments, partially offset by an increase in repurchases of common stock made in connection with the Company’s common stock repurchase program.
Cash Flows from Discontinued Operations
     Cash used by discontinued operations was $23 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to cash provided by discontinued operations of $494 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009, which primarily reflected the cash activity of AOL.
Outstanding Debt and Other Financing Arrangements
Outstanding Debt and Committed Financial Capacity
     At June 30, 2010, Time Warner had total committed capacity, defined as maximum available borrowings under various existing debt arrangements and cash and short-term investments, of $27.794 billion.

2010 Debt Transactions
     On March 3, 2010, Time Warner filed a shelf registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission that allows it to offer and sell from time to time debt securities, preferred stock, common stock and warrants to purchase debt and equity securities. During 2010, the Company entered into a series of transactions to capitalize on the historically low interest rate environment and extend the maturities of its public debt. Specifically, Time Warner issued $5.0 billion aggregate principal amount of debt securities and used a portion of the net proceeds to repurchase or redeem approximately $3.710 billion of aggregate principal amount of debt securities as well as repay $805 million outstanding under the Company’s two accounts receivable securitization facilities. Each of these transactions is more fully described below.
March 2010 Debt Offering and Tender Offer and April 2010 Redemption
     On March 11, 2010, Time Warner issued $2.0 billion aggregate principal amount of debt securities from the shelf registration statement, consisting of $1.4 billion aggregate principal amount of 4.875% Notes due 2020 and $600 million

aggregate principal amount of 6.200% Debentures due 2040 (the “March 2010 Debt Offering”). The securities issued pursuant to the March 2010 Debt Offering are guaranteed, on an unsecured basis, by Historic TW. In addition, Turner and HBO have guaranteed, on an unsecured basis, Historic TW’s guarantee of the securities.
     The net proceeds to the Company from the March 2010 Debt Offering were $1.984 billion, after deducting underwriting discounts. The Company used a portion of the net proceeds from this debt offering to repurchase $773 million of the Company’s outstanding 6.75% Notes due 2011 pursuant to a tender offer. The premium paid and transaction costs incurred for the repurchase of $773 million aggregate principal amount of the 6.75% Notes due 2011 were $55 million and were reflected in other income (loss), net in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2010. On April 22, 2010, the Company redeemed the remaining $227 million aggregate principal amount of the 6.75% Notes due 2011 pursuant to a notice of redemption dated March 23, 2010. The premium paid and transaction costs incurred on the repurchase of the remaining $227 million of the 6.75% Notes due 2011 were $14 million, and were reflected in other income (loss), net in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010. The premiums paid and transaction costs incurred discussed above are included in significant transactions and other items affecting comparability.
July 2010 Debt Offering and Tender Offer
     On July 14, 2010, Time Warner issued $3.0 billion aggregate principal amount of debt securities from the shelf registration statement, consisting of $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of 3.15% Notes due 2015, $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of 4.70% Notes due 2021 and $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of 6.10% Debentures due 2040 (the “July 2010 Debt Offering”). The securities issued pursuant to the July 2010 Debt Offering are guaranteed, on an unsecured basis, by Historic TW. In addition, Turner and HBO have guaranteed, on an unsecured basis, Historic TW’s guarantee of the securities.
     The net proceeds to the Company from the July 2010 Debt Offering were $2.979 billion, after deducting underwriting discounts. The Company used the net proceeds from this debt offering to repurchase $780 million of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 5.50% Notes due 2011 of Time Warner, $1.362 billion aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 6.875% Notes due 2012 of Time Warner and $568 million aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 9.125% Debentures due 2013 of Historic TW (as successor by merger to Time Warner Companies, Inc.) pursuant to a tender offer. The premium paid and transaction costs incurred on the repurchase of these debt securities are expected to be approximately $290 million, and will be recorded in other income (loss), net in the third quarter of 2010 in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations and will be included in significant transactions and other items affecting comparability.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1.  DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND RECENT ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE
Description of Business
     Time Warner Inc. (“Time Warner” or the “Company”) is a leading media and entertainment company, whose businesses include television networks, filmed entertainment and publishing. Time Warner classifies its operations into three reportable segments: Networks: consisting principally of cable television networks that provide programming; Filmed Entertainment: consisting principally of feature film, television and home video production and distribution; and Publishing: consisting principally of magazine publishing. Financial information for Time Warner’s various reportable segments is presented in Note 12.
Basis of Presentation
Interim Financial Statements
     The consolidated financial statements are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, they contain all of the adjustments (consisting of those of a normal recurring nature) considered necessary to present fairly the financial position, the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) applicable to interim periods. The consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited recast consolidated financial statements of Time Warner as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 and for each year in the three-year period ended December 31, 2009, including the accompanying supplementary information and schedule, and the related Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated May 14, 2010 and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 7, 2010 (the “July 2010 8-K”). The recast financial information included in the July 2010 8-K reflects the retrospective adoption of amendments to accounting guidance pertaining to the accounting for transfers of financial assets and variable interest entities (“VIEs”) as described below.
Basis of Consolidation
     The consolidated financial statements include all of the assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and cash flows of Time Warner, all voting interest entities in which Time Warner has a controlling voting interest (“subsidiaries”) and VIEs of which the Company is the primary beneficiary. Intercompany accounts and transactions between consolidated companies have been eliminated in consolidation.
     The financial position and operating results of substantially all foreign operations are consolidated using the local currency as the functional currency. Local currency assets and liabilities are translated at the rates of exchange on the balance sheet date, and local currency revenues and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange during the period. Translation gains or losses of assets and liabilities are included in the consolidated statement of shareholders’ equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income, net.
Reclassifications
     Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year information to conform to the June 30, 2010 presentation of the components of inventory.
Use of Estimates
     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
     Significant estimates and judgments inherent in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements include accounting for asset impairments, allowances for doubtful accounts, depreciation and amortization, film ultimate revenues and related costs, home video and magazine returns, business combinations, pension and other postretirement benefits,

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)
equity-based compensation, income taxes, contingencies, litigation matters, certain programming arrangements and the determination of whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of entities in which it holds variable interests.
Accounting Guidance Adopted in 2010
Amendments to Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets and VIEs
     On January 1, 2010, the Company adopted guidance on a retrospective basis that (i) eliminated the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity (“SPE”), (ii) eliminated the exception from applying existing accounting guidance related to VIEs that were previously considered qualifying SPEs, (iii) changed the approach for determining the primary beneficiary of a VIE from a quantitative risk and reward model to a qualitative model based on control and (iv) requires the Company to assess each reporting period whether any of the Company’s variable interests give it a controlling financial interest in the applicable VIE.
     The Company’s investments in entities determined to be VIEs principally consist of certain investments at its Networks segment, primarily HBO Asia, HBO South Asia and HBO Latin America Group (“HBO LAG”), which operate multi-channel pay-television programming services. As of June 30, 2010, the Company held an 80% economic interest in HBO Asia, a 75% economic interest in HBO South Asia and an approximate 80% economic interest in HBO LAG. The Company previously consolidated these entities; however, as a result of adopting this guidance, because voting control is shared with the other partners in each of the three entities, the Company determined that it is no longer the primary beneficiary of these entities and effective January 1, 2010 accounts for these investments using the equity method. As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company’s aggregate investment in these three entities was $602 million and $362 million, respectively, and recorded in investments, including available-for-sale securities, in the consolidated balance sheet.
     The Company provides programming as well as certain services, including distribution, licensing, technological and administrative support, to HBO Asia, HBO South Asia and HBO LAG. These investments are intended to enable the Company to more broadly leverage its programming and digital strategy in the territories served and to capitalize on the growing multi-channel television market in such territories. These entities are financed substantially through cash flows from their operations, and the Company is not obligated to provide them with any additional financial support. In addition, the assets of these entities are not available to settle obligations of the Company.
     The adoption of this guidance with respect to these entities resulted in an increase (decrease) to revenues, operating income and net income attributable to Time Warner Inc. shareholders of $(93) million, $(17) million and $5 million, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and $(183) million, $(41) million and $4 million, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2009. The impact on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2009 and consolidated statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was not material.
     The Company also held variable interests in two wholly owned SPEs through which the activities of its accounts receivable securitization facilities were conducted. The Company determined it was the primary beneficiary of these entities because of its ability to direct the key activities of the SPEs that most significantly impact their economic performance. Accordingly, as a result of adopting this guidance, the Company consolidated these SPEs, which resulted in an increase to securitized receivables and non-recourse debt of $805 million as of December 31, 2009. In addition, for the six months ended June 30, 2009, cash provided by operations increased by $61 million, with an offsetting decrease to cash used by financing activities. The impact on the consolidated statement of operations was not material. During the first quarter of 2010, the Company repaid the $805 million outstanding under these facilities and terminated the two facilities on March 19, 2010 and on March 24, 2010, respectively.
Accounting for Collaborative Arrangements
     The Company’s collaborative arrangements primarily relate to arrangements entered into with third parties to jointly finance and distribute theatrical productions. For the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, net participation costs of $123 million and $109 million, respectively, were recorded in costs of revenues and net amounts received from collaborators for which capitalized film costs were reduced was $157 million and $104 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, net participation costs of $210 million and $177 million, respectively, were

26

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)
recorded in costs of revenues, and net amounts received from collaborators for which capitalized film costs were reduced were $228 million and $142 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the net amounts due to collaborators for their respective share of participations was $251 million and $332 million, respectively, and were recorded in participations payable in the consolidated balance sheet.
2.  BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS
HBO LAG
     On March 9, 2010, HBO purchased additional interests in HBO LAG for $217 million in cash, which resulted in HBO owning 80% of the equity interests of HBO LAG. HBO LAG is considered a VIE and, because voting control of the entity is shared equally with another investor, the Company has determined it is not the primary beneficiary of this entity. Accordingly, HBO accounts for this investment under the equity method of accounting.
HBO Central Europe Acquisition
     On January 27, 2010, HBO purchased the remainder of its partners’ interests in HBO Central Europe (“HBO CE”) for $136 million in cash, net of cash acquired. HBO CE operates the HBO and Cinemax premium pay television programming services serving various territories in Central Europe. This transaction resulted in HBO owning all of HBO CE, and the Company has consolidated the results of operations and financial condition of HBO CE effective January 27, 2010. Prior to this transaction, HBO held a 33% interest in HBO CE, which was accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Upon the acquisition of the controlling interest in HBO CE, a gain of $59 million was recognized reflecting the excess of the fair value over the Company’s carrying cost of its original investment in HBO CE. The fair value of HBO’s original investment in HBO CE of $78 million was determined using the consideration paid in the January 27, 2010 purchase, which was primarily derived using a combination of market and income valuation techniques.
Summary of Discontinued Operations
     During 2009, the Company completed the legal and structural separations of Time Warner Cable Inc. (“TWC”) and AOL Inc. (“AOL”). With the completion of these separations, the Company disposed of its Cable and AOL segments in their entirety and ceased to consolidate their financial condition and results of operations in its consolidated financial statements. Discontinued operations include TWC’s results for the period from January 1, 2009 through March 12, 2009 and AOL’s results for the period from January 1, 2009 through June 30, 2009.

4.  FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
     A fair value measurement is determined based on the assumptions that a market participant would use in pricing an asset or liability. A three-tiered hierarchy draws distinctions between market participant assumptions based on (i) observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets (Level 1), (ii) inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly (Level 2) and (iii) unobservable inputs that require the Company to use present value and other valuation techniques in the determination of fair value (Level 3). The following table presents information about assets and liabilities required to be carried at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2010 (millions):

     The following table reconciles the beginning and ending balances of assets and liabilities classified as Level 3 and identifies the net income (losses) the Company recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2010 on such assets and liabilities that were included in the balance as of June 30, 2010 (millions):

     Assets and liabilities valued using significant unobservable inputs primarily consist of an asset related to equity instruments held by employees of a former subsidiary of the Company and liabilities for contingent consideration and options to redeem securities. Gains and losses recognized for assets and liabilities valued using significant unobservable inputs are primarily reported in other income (loss), net in the consolidated statement of operations (Note 15).

Other Financial Instruments
     The Company’s other financial instruments, including debt, are not required to be carried at fair value. Based on the interest rates prevailing at June 30, 2010 the fair value of Time Warner’s debt exceeded its carrying value by approximately $2.279 billion and at December 31, 2009, the fair value of Time Warner’s debt exceeded its carrying value by approximately $1.749 billion. Unrealized gains or losses on debt do not result in the realization or expenditure of cash and generally are not recognized for financial reporting purposes unless the debt is retired prior to its maturity. The carrying value for the majority of the Company’s other financial instruments approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of such instruments. For the remainder of the Company’s other financial instruments, differences between the carrying value and fair value are not significant at June 30, 2010. The fair value of financial instruments is generally determined by reference to the market value of the instrument as quoted on a national securities exchange or in an over-the-counter market. In cases where a quoted market value is not available, fair value is based on an estimate using present value or other valuation techniques.
Non-Financial Instruments
     The majority of the Company’s non-financial instruments, which include goodwill, intangible assets, inventories and property, plant and equipment, are not required to be carried at fair value on a recurring basis. However, if certain triggering events occur (or at least annually for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets) such that a non-financial instrument is required to be evaluated for impairment, a resulting asset impairment would require that the non-financial instrument be recorded at the lower of cost or its fair value.
     In determining the fair value of its films, the Company employs a discounted cash flow methodology with assumptions for cash flows for periods not exceeding 10 years. Key inputs employed in the discounted cash flow methodology include estimates of a film’s ultimate revenue and costs as well as a discount rate. The discount rate utilized in the discounted cash flow analysis is based on the weighted average cost of capital of the respective business (e.g., Warner Bros.) plus a risk premium representing the risk associated with producing a particular film. The fair value of any film costs associated with a film that management plans to abandon is zero. As the primary determination of fair value is determined using a discounted cash flow model, the resulting fair value is considered a Level 3 measurement. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, there were no film production costs that were required to be written down to fair value.
5.  DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
     Time Warner uses derivative instruments, principally forward contracts, to manage the risk associated with the volatility of future cash flows denominated in foreign currencies and changes in fair value resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The principal currencies being hedged include the British Pound, Euro, Australian Dollar and Canadian Dollar. Time Warner uses foreign exchange contracts that generally have maturities of three to 18 months to hedge various foreign exchange exposures, including the following: (i) variability in foreign-currency-denominated cash flows, such as the hedges of unremitted or forecasted royalty and license fees to be received from the sale, or anticipated sale of U.S. copyrighted products abroad or cash flows for certain film costs denominated in a foreign currency (i.e., cash flow hedges) and (ii) currency risk associated with foreign-currency-denominated operating assets and liabilities (i.e., fair value hedges). For these qualifying hedge relationships, the Company excludes the impact of forward points from its assessment of hedge effectiveness. As a result, changes in the fair value of forward points are recorded in other loss, net in the consolidated statement of operations each quarter.
     The Company also enters into derivative contracts that economically hedge certain of its foreign currency risks, even though hedge accounting does not apply or the Company elects not to apply hedge accounting. These economic hedges are used primarily to offset the change in certain foreign currency denominated long-term receivables and certain foreign currency denominated debt due to changes in the underlying foreign exchange rates.
     Gains and losses from hedging activities recognized in the consolidated statement of operations, including hedge ineffectiveness, were not material for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009. In addition, such gains and losses are largely offset by corresponding economic gains or losses from the respective transactions that were hedged.

     The Company monitors its positions with, and the credit quality of, the financial institutions that are party to any of its financial transactions. Additionally, netting provisions are provided for in existing International Swap and Derivative Association Inc. agreements in situations where the Company executes multiple contracts with the same counterparty. As a result, net assets or liabilities resulting from foreign exchange derivatives subject to these netting agreements are classified within prepaid assets and other current assets or accounts payable and accrued expenses in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, $57 million and $61 million, respectively, of losses related to cash flow hedges are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and are expected to be recognized in earnings at the same time the hedged items affect earnings. Included in these amounts are deferred net losses of $28 million and $17 million at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively, related to hedges of cash flows associated with films that are not expected to be released within the next twelve months.
6.  LONG-TERM DEBT AND OTHER FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS
Debt Offerings, Tender Offers and Redemptions
March 2010 Debt Offering and Tender Offer and April 2010 Redemption
     On March 3, 2010, Time Warner filed a shelf registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission that allows it to offer and sell from time to time debt securities, preferred stock, common stock and warrants to purchase debt and equity securities.
     On March 11, 2010, Time Warner issued $1.4 billion aggregate principal amount of 4.875% Notes due 2020 and $600 million aggregate principal amount of 6.200% Debentures due 2040 (the “March 2010 Debt Offering”) under the shelf registration statement.

(“Turner”) and Home Box Office, Inc. (“HBO”) have guaranteed, on an unsecured basis, Historic TW’s guarantee of the securities.
     The net proceeds to the Company from the March 2010 Debt Offering were $1.984 billion, after deducting underwriting discounts. The Company used a portion of the net proceeds from the March 2010 Debt Offering to repurchase and redeem all $1.0 billion of the Company’s outstanding 6.75% Notes due 2011. The premium paid and transaction costs incurred of $69 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 related to the repurchase and redemption were reflected in other income (loss), net in the consolidated statement of operations.
July 2010 Debt Offering and Tender Offer
     On July 14, 2010, Time Warner issued $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of 3.15% Notes due 2015, $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of 4.70% Notes due 2021 and $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of 6.10% Debentures due 2040 (the “July 2010 Debt Offering”) under the shelf registration statement. The securities issued pursuant to the July 2010 Debt Offering are also guaranteed, on an unsecured basis, by Historic TW. In addition, Turner and HBO have guaranteed, on an unsecured basis, Historic TW’s guarantee of the securities.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)
     The net proceeds to the Company from the July 2010 Debt Offering were $2.979 billion, after deducting underwriting discounts. The Company used the net proceeds from this debt offering to repurchase $780 million aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 5.50% Notes due 2011 of Time Warner, $1.362 billion aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 6.875% Notes due 2012 of Time Warner and $568 million aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 9.125% Debentures due 2013 of Historic TW (as successor by merger to Time Warner Companies, Inc.) pursuant to a tender offer. The premium paid and transaction costs incurred on the repurchase of these debt securities are expected to be approximately $290 million and will be recorded in other income (loss), net in the third quarter of 2010 in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations.
Asset Securitization Arrangements
     During the first quarter of 2010, the Company repaid the $805 million outstanding under the Company’s two accounts receivable securitization facilities. The Company terminated the two accounts receivable securitization facilities on March 19, 2010 and March 24, 2010, respectively.
7.  SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Common Stock Repurchase Program
     On January 28, 2010, Time Warner’s Board of Directors increased the amount remaining on its common stock repurchase program to $3.0 billion for purchases beginning January 1, 2010. Purchases under the stock repurchase program may be made from time to time on the open market and in privately negotiated transactions. The size and timing of these purchases are based on a number of factors, including price and business and market conditions. From January 1, 2010 through June 30, 2010, the Company repurchased approximately 33 million shares of common stock for approximately $1.0 billion pursuant to trading programs under Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Benefit Plan Amendments
     In March 2010, the Company’s Board of Directors approved amendments to its domestic defined benefit pension plans, which generally provide that (i) effective June 30, 2010, benefits provided under the plans will stop accruing for additional years of service and the plans will be closed to new hires and employees with less than one year of service and (ii) after December 31, 2013, pay increases will no longer be taken into consideration when determining a participating employee’s benefits under the plans. Because of these amendments, the Company remeasured its benefit obligation, which resulted in a decrease in the net periodic benefit costs for the three months ended June 30, 2010.
     In addition, effective July 1, 2010, the Company will increase its matching contributions for eligible participants in the Time Warner Savings Plan. Effective January 1, 2011, the Company will also implement a supplemental savings plan that will provide for similar Company matching for eligible participant deferrals above the Internal Revenue Service compensation limits that apply to the Time Warner Savings Plan up to $500,000 of eligible compensation.
     The net effect of these changes is expected to result in a net annual decrease to employee benefit plan expense of approximately $50 million.
11.  RESTRUCTURING COSTS
     The Company’s restructuring costs primarily related to employee termination costs, ranging from senior executives to line personnel, and other exit costs, including lease terminations. All of the restructuring costs incurred in 2010 related to plans put into effect in prior periods. Restructuring costs expensed as incurred by segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 are as follows (millions):

Commitments
Six Flags
     In connection with the Company’s former investment in the Six Flags theme parks located in Georgia and Texas (“Six Flags Georgia” and “Six Flags Texas,” respectively, and, collectively, the “Parks”), in 1997, certain subsidiaries of the Company (including Historic TW and, in connection with the separation of TWC in 2009, Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc.) agreed to guarantee (the “Six Flags Guarantee”) certain obligations of the partnerships that hold the Parks (the “Partnerships”) for the benefit of the limited partners in such Partnerships, including the following (the “Guaranteed Obligations”): (a) making a minimum annual distribution to such limited partners; (b) making a minimum amount of capital expenditures each year; (c) offering each year to purchase 5% of the limited partnership units of the Partnerships (plus any such units not purchased pursuant to such offer in any prior year; the estimated maximum amount for 2010 was approximately $300 million) based on a price determined as provided in the applicable agreement; (d) making annual ground lease payments; and (e) either (i) purchasing all of the outstanding limited partnership units through the exercise of a call option upon the earlier of the occurrence of certain specified events and the end of the term of each of the Partnerships in 2027 (Six Flags Georgia) and 2028 (Six Flags Texas) (the “End of Term Purchase”) or (ii) causing each of the Partnerships to have no indebtedness and to meet certain other financial tests as of the end of the term of the Partnerships. The aggregate undiscounted estimated future cash flow requirements covered by the Six Flags Guarantee over the remaining term (through 2028) of the agreements are approximately $1.1 billion (for a net present value of approximately $400 million). To date, no payments have been made by the Company pursuant to the Six Flags Guarantee.
     In connection with its purchase of the controlling interest in the Parks, Six Flags Entertainment Corporation (formerly known as Six Flags, Inc. and Premier Parks Inc.) (“Six Flags”), agreed, pursuant to a subordinated indemnity agreement (the “Subordinated Indemnity Agreement”), to guarantee the performance of the Guaranteed Obligations when due and to indemnify Historic TW, among others, in the event that the Guaranteed Obligations are not performed and the Six Flags Guarantee is called upon. In the event of a default of Six Flags’ indemnification obligations, Historic TW has the right to acquire control of the managing partner of the Parks. Six Flags’ obligations to Historic TW are further secured by its interest in all limited partnership units that are held by Six Flags.
     On June 13, 2009, Six Flags and certain of its subsidiaries filed petitions for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the Bankruptcy Court in Delaware. On April 30, 2010, Six Flags’ plan of reorganization, which significantly reduced its debt, became effective and it emerged from bankruptcy. The Partnerships holding the Parks were not included in the debtors’ reorganization proceedings. Six Flags assumed the Subordinated Indemnity Agreement in the plan of reorganization. In connection with the plan of reorganization, on April 30, 2010, a Time Warner subsidiary (TW-SF LLC), as lender, entered into a 5-year $150 million multiple draw term facility with certain affiliates of the Partnerships, which can be used only to fund such affiliates’ annual obligations to purchase certain limited partnership units of the Partnerships. Any loan made under the facility will mature 5 years from its respective funding date. The facility will expire April 30, 2015, unless it terminates earlier due to the acceleration or certain refinancings of Six Flags’ first lien credit facility or second lien term credit facility, which also closed on April 30, 2010. No loan was made under the facility in 2010.
     Because the Six Flags Guarantee existed prior to December 31, 2002 and no modifications to the arrangements have been made since the date the guarantee came into existence, the Company is required to continue to account for the

Guaranteed Obligations as a contingent liability. Based on its evaluation of the current facts and circumstances surrounding the Guaranteed Obligations and the Subordinated Indemnity Agreement, the Company is unable to predict the loss, if any, that may be incurred under these Guaranteed Obligations and no liability for the arrangements has been recognized at June 30, 2010. Because of the specific circumstances surrounding the arrangements and the fact that no active or observable market exists for this type of financial guarantee, the Company is unable to determine a current fair value for the Guaranteed Obligations and related Subordinated Indemnity Agreement.
AOL Revolving Facility
     In connection with the AOL Separation, AOL entered into a $250 million 364-day senior secured revolving credit facility (the “AOL Revolving Facility”) on December 9, 2009. Time Warner has guaranteed AOL’s obligations under the AOL Revolving Facility in exchange for which AOL is paying Time Warner an ongoing fee, subject to periodic increases, a portion of which varies with the amount of undrawn commitments and the principal amount of AOL’s obligations outstanding under the facility and changes in Time Warner’s senior unsecured long-term debt credit ratings. Also in connection with the AOL Separation, Time Warner agreed to continue to provide credit support for certain AOL lease and trade obligations, of which approximately $24 million remained as of July 30, 2010. Time Warner’s obligation to provide AOL with such credit support ends on the earlier of December 9, 2011 and 30 days after AOL obtains the right to borrow funds under a permanent credit facility.
Contingencies
     On October 8, 2004, certain heirs of Jerome Siegel, one of the creators of the “Superman” character, filed suit against the Company, DC Comics and Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc. in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. Plaintiffs’ complaint seeks an accounting and demands up to one-half of the profits made on Superman since the alleged April 16, 1999 termination by plaintiffs of Siegel’s grants of one-half of the rights to the Superman character to DC Comics’ predecessor-in-interest. Plaintiffs have also asserted various Lanham Act and unfair competition claims, alleging “wasting” of the Superman property by DC Comics and failure to accord credit to Siegel, and the Company has filed counterclaims. On April 30, 2007, the Company filed motions for partial summary judgment on various issues, including the unavailability of accounting for pre-termination and foreign works. On March 26, 2008, the court entered an order of summary judgment finding, among other things, that plaintiffs’ notices of termination were valid and that plaintiffs had thereby recaptured, as of April 16, 1999, their rights to a one-half interest in the Superman story material, as first published, but that the accounting for profits would not include profits attributable to foreign exploitation, republication of pre-termination works and trademark exploitation. On October 6, 2008, the court dismissed plaintiffs’ Lanham Act and “wasting” claims with prejudice. In orders issued on October 14, 2008, the court determined that the remaining claims in the case will be subject to phased non-jury trials. The first phase trial concluded on May 21, 2009, and on July 8, 2009, the court issued a decision in favor of the defendants on the issue of whether the terms of various license agreements between DC Comics and Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc. were at fair market value or constituted “sweetheart deals.” The second phase trial was previously scheduled to commence on December 1, 2009, and the parties are awaiting a new date for the commencement of this trial. The Company intends to defend against this lawsuit vigorously.
     On October 22, 2004, the same Siegel heirs filed a second lawsuit against the same defendants, as well as Warner Communications Inc. and Warner Bros. Television Production Inc. in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. Plaintiffs claim that Jerome Siegel was the sole creator of the character Superboy and, as such, DC Comics has had no right to create new Superboy works since the alleged October 17, 2004 termination by plaintiffs of Siegel’s grants of rights to the Superboy character to DC Comics’ predecessor-in-interest. This lawsuit seeks a declaration regarding the validity of the alleged termination and an injunction against future use of the Superboy character. On March 23, 2006, the court granted plaintiffs’ motion for partial summary judgment on termination, denied the Company’s motion for summary judgment and held that further proceedings are necessary to determine whether the Company’s Smallville television series may infringe on plaintiffs’ rights to the Superboy character. On July 27, 2007, upon the Company’s motion for reconsideration, the court reversed the bulk of its March 23, 2006 ruling, and requested additional briefing on certain issues. On March 31, 2008, the court, among other things, denied a motion for partial summary judgment that the Company had filed in April 2007 as moot in view of the court’s July 27, 2007 reconsideration ruling. The Company intends to defend against this lawsuit vigorously.
     On May 14, 2010, DC Comics filed a related lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California against the heirs of Superman co-creator Joseph Shuster, the Siegel heirs, their attorney Marc Toberoff and certain

companies that Mr. Toberoff controls. The complaint asserts claims for, inter alia, declaratory relief concerning the validity and scope of the copyright termination notice served by the Shuster heirs, the validity of various agreements between Mr. Toberoff, his companies and the Shuster and Siegel heirs, as well as claims for intentional interference by Mr. Toberoff with DC Comics’ contracts and prospective economic advantage with the Shuster and Siegel heirs.
     On September 9, 2009, several music labels filed a complaint, and on October 9, 2009 filed an amended complaint, in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee against the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc., Telepictures Productions Inc., and WAD Productions Inc., among other named defendants. Plaintiffs allege that defendants made unauthorized use of certain sound recordings on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, in violation of the federal Copyright Act and the Tennessee Consumer Protection Act. Plaintiffs seek unspecified monetary damages. On November 25, 2009, defendants filed a motion to transfer the case to the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, which motion was granted on February 19, 2010. In January, February and March 2010, the Company and its subsidiaries reached agreements with the Sony Music Entertainment, Capitol Records, LLC (dba EMI Records North America) and Warner Music Group, Inc. groups of plaintiffs, respectively, to resolve their asserted claims on terms that are not material to the Company. The Company intends to defend against the claims by the remaining plaintiffs in the lawsuit vigorously.
     On September 20, 2007, Brantley, et al. v. NBC Universal, Inc., et al. was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California against the Company and several other programming content providers (collectively, the “programmer defendants”) as well as cable and satellite providers (collectively, the “distributor defendants”), alleging violations of the federal antitrust laws. Among other things, the complaint alleged coordination between and among the programmer defendants to sell and/or license programming on a “bundled” basis to the distributor defendants, who in turn purportedly offer that programming to subscribers in packaged tiers, rather than on a per channel (or “à la carte”) basis. On November 14, 2008, the Company was dismissed as a programmer defendant, and Turner was substituted in its place. On May 1, 2009, by stipulation of the parties, plaintiffs filed a third amended complaint. In an order dated October 15, 2009, the court dismissed the third amended complaint with prejudice. On October 30, 2009, plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. The Company intends to defend against this lawsuit vigorously.
     On April 4, 2007, the National Labor Relations Board (“NLRB”) issued a complaint against CNN America Inc. (“CNN America”) and Team Video Services, LLC (“Team Video”). This administrative proceeding relates to CNN America’s December 2003 and January 2004 terminations of its contractual relationships with Team Video, under which Team Video had provided electronic newsgathering services in Washington, DC and New York, NY. The National Association of Broadcast Employees and Technicians, under which Team Video’s employees were unionized, initially filed charges of unfair labor practices with the NLRB in February 2004, alleging that CNN America and Team Video were joint employers, that CNN America was a successor employer to Team Video, and/or that CNN America discriminated in its hiring practices to avoid becoming a successor employer or due to specific individuals’ union affiliation or activities. The NLRB investigated the charges and issued the above-noted complaint. The complaint seeks, among other things, the reinstatement of certain union members and monetary damages. A hearing in the matter before an NLRB Administrative Law Judge began on December 3, 2007 and ended on July 21, 2008. On November 19, 2008, the Administrative Law Judge issued a non-binding recommended decision finding CNN America liable. On February 17, 2009, CNN America filed exceptions to this decision with the NLRB. The Company intends to defend against this matter vigorously.
     On June 6, 2005, David McDavid and certain related entities (collectively, “McDavid”) filed a complaint against Turner and the Company in Georgia state court. The complaint asserted, among other things, claims for breach of contract, breach

of fiduciary duty, promissory estoppel and fraud relating to an alleged oral agreement between plaintiffs and Turner for the sale of the Atlanta Hawks and Thrashers sports franchises and certain operating rights to the Philips Arena. On August 20, 2008, the court issued an order dismissing all claims against the Company. The court also dismissed certain claims against Turner for breach of an alleged oral exclusivity agreement, for promissory estoppel based on the alleged exclusivity agreement and for breach of fiduciary duty. A trial as to the remaining claims against Turner commenced on October 8, 2008 and concluded on December 2, 2008. On December 9, 2008, the jury announced its verdict in favor of McDavid on the breach of contract and promissory estoppel claims, awarding damages on those claims of $281 million and $35 million, respectively. Pursuant to the court’s direction that McDavid choose one of the two claim awards, McDavid elected the $281 million award. The jury found in favor of Turner on the two remaining claims of fraud and breach of confidential information. On January 12, 2009, Turner filed a motion to overturn the jury verdict or, in the alternative, for a new trial, and, on April 22, 2009, the court denied the motion. On April 23, 2009, Turner filed a notice of appeal to the Georgia Court of Appeals and on June 15, 2009 posted a $25 million letter of credit as security pending appeal. On March 26, 2010, the Georgia Court of Appeals denied Turner’s appeal, and, on April 9, 2010, it denied Turner’s motion for reconsideration of that decision. On April 29, 2010, Turner filed a petition for certiorari with the Georgia Supreme Court. The Company has a reserve established for this matter at June 30, 2010 of approximately $311 million (including interest accrued through such date), although it intends to defend against this lawsuit vigorously.
     On March 10, 2009, Anderson News L.L.C. and Anderson Services L.L.C. (collectively, “Anderson News”) filed an antitrust lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York against several magazine publishers, distributors and wholesalers, including Time Inc. and one of its subsidiaries, Time/Warner Retail Sales & Marketing, Inc. Plaintiffs allege that defendants violated Section 1 of the Sherman Antitrust Act by engaging in an antitrust conspiracy against Anderson News, as well as other related state law claims. Plaintiffs are seeking unspecified monetary damages. On December 14, 2009, defendants filed motions to dismiss the complaint. On August 2, 2010, the court granted those motions and dismissed the complaint in its entirety and with prejudice. The Company intends to defend against this lawsuit vigorously.
     From time to time, the Company receives notices from third parties claiming that it infringes their intellectual property rights. Claims of intellectual property infringement could require Time Warner to enter into royalty or licensing agreements on unfavorable terms, incur substantial monetary liability or be enjoined preliminarily or permanently from further use of the intellectual property in question. In addition, certain agreements entered into by the Company may require the Company to indemnify the other party for certain third-party intellectual property infringement claims, which could increase the Company’s damages and its costs of defending against such claims. Even if the claims are without merit, defending against the claims can be time-consuming and costly.
     The costs and other effects of pending or future litigation, governmental investigations, legal and administrative cases and proceedings (whether civil or criminal), settlements, judgments and investigations, claims and changes in those matters (including those matters described above), and developments or assertions by or against the Company relating to intellectual property rights and intellectual property licenses, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and operating results.
Income Tax Uncertainties
     During the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company recorded additional income tax reserves of approximately $69 million. Of the $69 million additional income tax reserves, approximately $14 million would affect the Company’s effective tax rate if reversed. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company recorded interest reserves related to the income tax reserves of approximately $50 million.
14.  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
     The Company has entered into certain transactions in the ordinary course of business with unconsolidated investees accounted for under the equity method of accounting. These transactions have been executed on terms comparable to the terms of transactions with unrelated third parties and primarily include the licensing of broadcast rights to The CW broadcast network for film and television product, by the Filmed Entertainment segment and the licensing of rights to carry cable television programming provided by the Networks segment. For the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, revenues from transactions with related parties were $86 million and $75 million, respectively, and expenses from transactions with related parties were $16 million and $17 million, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2010

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Overview
     Set forth below are condensed consolidating financial statements presenting the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of (i) Time Warner Inc. (the “Parent Company”), (ii) Historic TW Inc. (in its own capacity and as successor by merger to Time Warner Companies, Inc.), Home Box Office, Inc., and Turner Broadcasting System, Inc., each a wholly owned subsidiary of the Parent Company, on a combined basis (collectively, the “Guarantor Subsidiaries”), (iii) the direct and indirect non-guarantor subsidiaries of the Parent Company (the “Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries”) on a combined basis and (iv) the eliminations necessary to arrive at the information for Time Warner Inc. on a consolidated basis. The Guarantor Subsidiaries, fully and unconditionally, jointly and severally, guarantee the securities issued under the indentures on an unsecured basis.
     There are no legal or regulatory restrictions on the Parent Company’s ability to obtain funds from any of its wholly owned subsidiaries through dividends, loans or advances.
Basis of Presentation
     In presenting the condensed consolidating financial statements, the equity method of accounting has been applied to (i) the Parent Company’s interests in the Guarantor Subsidiaries and (ii) the Guarantor Subsidiaries’ interests in the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries, where applicable, even though all such subsidiaries meet the requirements to be consolidated under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. All intercompany balances and transactions between the Parent Company, the Guarantor Subsidiaries and the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries have been eliminated, as shown in the column “Eliminations.”
     The Parent Company’s accounting bases in all subsidiaries, including goodwill and identified intangible assets, have been “pushed down” to the applicable subsidiaries. Corporate overhead expenses have been reflected as expenses of the Parent Company and have not been allocated to the Guarantor Subsidiaries or the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries. Interest income (expense) is determined based on third-party debt and the relevant intercompany amounts within the respective legal entity.
     All direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries are included in Time Warner Inc.’s consolidated U.S. tax return. In the condensed consolidating financial statements, tax expense has been allocated based on each such subsidiary’s relative pretax income to the consolidated pretax income. With respect to the use of certain consolidated tax attributes (principally operating and capital loss carryforwards), such benefits have been allocated to the respective subsidiary that generated the taxable income permitting such use (i.e., pro-rata based on where the income was generated). For example, to the extent a Non-Guarantor Subsidiary generated a gain on the sale of a business for which the Parent Company utilized tax attributes to offset such gain, the tax attribute benefit would be allocated to that Non-Guarantor Subsidiary. Deferred taxes of the Parent Company, the Guarantor Subsidiaries and the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries have been allocated based upon the temporary differences between the carrying amounts of the respective assets and liabilities of the applicable entities.
     Certain transfers of cash between subsidiaries and their parent companies, and intercompany dividends, are reflected as cash flows from investing and financing activities in the accompanying condensed consolidating statements of cash flows. All other intercompany activity is reflected in cash flows from operations.

The complaint asserts claims for, inter alia, declaratory relief concerning the validity and scope of the copyright termination notice served by the Shuster heirs, the validity of various agreements between Mr. Toberoff, his companies and the Shuster and Siegel heirs, as well as claims for intentional interference by Mr. Toberoff with DC Comics’ contracts and prospective economic advantage with the Shuster and Siegel heirs.
     Reference is made to the lawsuit filed by Anderson News L.L.C. and Anderson Services L.L.C. described on page 29 of the 2009 Form 10-K.
