Restatement of Prior Financial Information
As previously disclosed, AOL Time Warner Inc. (AOL Time Warner or the Company) has been conducting an internal review of certain
advertising and commerce transactions at the AOL segment under the direction of the Companys Chief Financial Officer. In connection with this internal review, the financial results for each of the quarters ended September 30, 2000 through June
30, 2002 are being restated. The total impact of the adjustments is a reduction of the Companys consolidated advertising and commerce revenues of $190 million over these eight quarterly periods, with corresponding reductions in EBITDA,
operating income and net income for that same time period of $97 million, $83 million and $46 million, respectively. For the AOL segment, the impact of the adjustments is a reduction of advertising and commerce revenues of $168 million over these
eight quarterly periods, with corresponding reductions in EBITDA and operating income for that same time period of $97 million and $83 million, respectively. The remaining impact on the Companys consolidated advertising and commerce revenues
of $22 million represents a reduction in revenues from certain transactions related to the AOL segment in which the advertising was delivered by other AOL Time Warner segments. The adjustments represent approximately 1% of the AOL segments
total revenues for that same two-year period, approximately 3.4% of its advertising and commerce revenues, approximately 1.9% of its EBITDA and approximately 2.1% of its operating income. The largest impact of the adjustments is in the quarter ended
September 30, 2000, where advertising and commerce revenues are reduced by $66 million, both EBITDA and operating income are reduced by $30 million and net income is reduced by $18 million. The restatement results in a decrease in basic earnings per
share of $0.01 in both the third and fourth quarters of 2000.
The financial results presented in this report
reflect the restatement of the Companys financial results. For the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, the total impact of these adjustments is a reduction of the Companys consolidated advertising and commerce revenues of $12
million and $14 million, respectively, with a corresponding reduction in EBITDA of $15 million and $1 million, respectively, operating income of $13 million and $0, respectively, and consolidated net income of $4 million and $0, respectively. For
the AOL segment, for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, the impact of these adjustments is a reduction of advertising and commerce revenues of $6 million and $13 million, respectively, with a corresponding reduction in EBITDA of $15
million and $1 million, respectively and operating income of $13 million and $0, respectively. The remaining impact on advertising and commerce revenues of $6 million and $1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively,
represents a reduction in revenues from certain transactions related to the AOL segment in which the advertising was delivered by other AOL Time Warner segments.
Based on the substantial work done to date, the Company does not expect any further restatements as a result of its internal review. However, as previously disclosed, the Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC) and the Department of Justice (DOJ) are investigating the financial reporting and disclosure practices of the Company. The Company cannot predict the outcome of these investigations at this time. The Company
will continue its efforts to cooperate with the investigations.
Subsequent Events Resulting in Retroactive Adjustment
In addition to the restatement of prior financial information relating to certain advertising and commerce
transactions at the AOL segment, this document reflects subsequent events that result in retroactive adjustments. During the third quarter of 2002, Advance/Newhouse Partnership assumed responsibility for the day-to-day operations of certain cable
systems held by the Time Warner EntertainmentAdvance/Newhouse Partnership (TWE-A/N). As a result, the Company has deconsolidated the financial results of these systems and has retroactively presented such results as discontinued
operations for all periods presented. In addition, the Company also began consolidating the financial position and results of operations of Road Runner. As permitted under generally accepted accounting principles, the Company has consolidated the
results of Road Runner retroactive to the beginning of 2002. Details of the transaction resulting in the discontinued operations and the consolidation of Road Runner are provided under Restructuring of TWE-Advance/Newhouse Partnership and Road
Runner on page 3 and the impact of the discontinued operations is provided under Discontinued Operations on page 4.
Except for the retroactive application of the TWE-A/N restructuring, which is discussed in the preceding paragraph, the Company has not updated the information contained herein for events and transactions occurring
subsequent to the date of the original Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2002. The Company therefore recommends that this report be read in conjunction with the Companys reports filed subsequent to the original
filing date, including the Companys Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2002.

OVERVIEW
Description of Business
AOL Time Warner is the worlds first Internet-powered media and communications company. The Company was
formed in connection with the merger of America Online, Inc. (America Online) and Time Warner Inc. (Time Warner), which was consummated on January 11, 2001 (the Merger). As a result of the Merger, America Online
and Time Warner each became a wholly owned subsidiary of AOL Time Warner.
AOL Time Warner classifies its business
interests into six fundamental areas: AOL, consisting principally of interactive services, Web properties, Internet technologies and electronic commerce services; Cable, consisting principally of interests in cable television systems;
Filmed Entertainment, consisting principally of interests in filmed entertainment and television production; Networks, consisting principally of interests in cable television and broadcast network programming; Music, consisting
principally of interests in recorded music and music publishing; and Publishing, consisting principally of interests in magazine publishing, book publishing and direct marketing.
The Company has undertaken a number of business initiatives to advance cross-divisional activities, including shared infrastructures and cross-promotions of the
Companys various product and services, as well as cross-divisional and cross-platform advertising and marketing opportunities for significant advertisers. The Companys integrated Global Marketing Solutions Group develops individualized
advertising programs through which major brands can reach customers over a combination of the Companys print, television and Internet media.

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION(Continued)
Use of EBITDA
AOL Time Warner evaluates operating performance based on several factors, including its primary financial measure of operating income (loss) before noncash depreciation of
tangible assets and amortization of goodwill and intangible assets (EBITDA). AOL Time Warner considers EBITDA an important indicator of the operational strength and performance of its businesses, including the ability to provide cash
flows to service debt and fund capital expenditures. In addition, EBITDA eliminates the uneven effect across all business segments of considerable amounts of noncash depreciation of tangible assets and amortization of certain intangible assets
deemed to have finite useful lives that were recognized in business combinations accounted for by the purchase method. As such, the following comparative discussion of the results of operations of AOL Time Warner includes, among other measures, an
analysis of changes in EBITDA. However, EBITDA should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, operating income (loss), net income (loss) and other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles. In addition, EBITDA should not be used as a substitute for the Companys various cash flow measures (e.g., operating cash flow and free cash flow), which are discussed in detail beginning on page 12.
Recent Developments
Investment in Time Warner Entertainment Company, L.P.
A majority of AOL
Time Warners interests in the Filmed Entertainment and Cable segments, and a portion of its interests in the Networks segment, are held through Time Warner Entertainment Company, L.P. (TWE). AOL 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 MediaOne TWE Holdings, Inc., a subsidiary of AT&T Corp. (AT&T). Due to the Companys 100% ownership of the Series
B Capital, AOL Time Warners economic interest in TWE exceeds 74.49%.
In addition to its existing interest
in TWE, AT&T has an option to obtain up to an additional 6.33% of Series A Capital and Residual Capital interests. The determination of the amount of additional interests that AT&T is eligible to acquire is based on the compounded annual
growth rate of TWEs adjusted Cable EBITDA, as defined in the option agreement, over the life of the option. The option is exercisable at any time through 2005. The option exercise price is dependent upon the year of exercise and, assuming the
full amount of the option is vested, ranges from an exercise price of approximately $1.4 billion currently to $1.8 billion in 2005. Either AT&T or TWE may elect that the exercise price be paid with partnership interests rather than cash.
AT&T initiated a process by which an independent investment banking firm has determined the amount by which AT&T would increase its interest in TWE if it were to exercise the option and were to pay the exercise price with partnership
interests rather than cash. On April 19, 2002, AT&T delivered to TWE a notice of the exercise of the option on a cashless basis effective May 31, 2002. The exercise of this option will increase AT&Ts interest by approximately 2.1% to
approximately 27.6% of the Series A Capital and Residual Capital of TWE.
AT&T also has the right,
during 60 day exercise periods occurring once every 18 months, to request that TWE incorporate and register its stock in an initial public offering. If AT&T exercises such right, TWE can decline to incorporate and register its stock, in which
case AT&T may cause TWE to purchase AT&Ts interest at the price at which an appraiser believes such stock could be sold in an initial public offering, subject to certain adjustments.

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION(Continued)
In February 2001, AT&T delivered to TWE a notice requesting that TWE reconstitute itself as a corporation and register
AT&Ts partnership interests for public sale. The parties are in discussions regarding this registration rights process and alternatives thereto. The Company cannot at this time predict the outcome or effect, if any, of these discussions.
Restructuring of TWE-Advance/Newhouse Partnership and Road Runner
As of March 31, 2002, the TWE-Advance/Newhouse Partnership (TWE-A/N) was owned approximately 64.8% by TWE, the managing
partner, 33.3% by the Advance/Newhouse Partnership (Advance/Newhouse) and 1.9% indirectly by AOL Time Warner. Prior to August 1, 2002, the financial position and operating results of TWE-A/N were consolidated by AOL Time Warner and TWE,
and the partnership interest owned by Advance/Newhouse was reflected in the consolidated financial statements of AOL Time Warner and TWE as minority interest. In addition, Road Runner, a high-speed cable modem Internet service provider, was owned by
TWI Cable Inc. (a wholly owned subsidiary of AOL Time Warner), TWE and TWE-A/N, with AOL Time Warner owning approximately 65% on a fully attributed basis (i.e., after considering the portion attributable to the minority partners of TWE and TWE-A/N).
AOL Time Warners interest in Road Runner was previously accounted for using the equity method of accounting prior to the restructuring because of certain approval rights held by Advance/Newhouse, a partner in TWE-A/N.
On June 24, 2002, TWE and Advance/Newhouse agreed to restructure TWE-A/N, which, on August 1, 2002 (the Debt Closing Date),
resulted in Advance/Newhouse assuming responsibility for the day-to-day operations of certain TWE-A/N cable systems serving approximately 2.1 million subscribers located primarily in Florida (the Advance/Newhouse Systems). The
restructuring is anticipated to be completed by the end of 2002, upon the receipt of certain regulatory approvals. On the Debt Closing Date, Advance/Newhouse and its affiliates arranged for a new credit facility to support the Advance/Newhouse
Systems and assumed and repaid approximately $780 million of TWE-A/Ns senior indebtedness. As of the Debt Closing Date, Advance/Newhouse assumed responsibility for the day-to-day operations of the Advance/Newhouse Systems. As a result, AOL
Time Warner and TWE have deconsolidated the financial position and operating results of these systems. Additionally, all prior period results associated with the Advance/Newhouse Systems, including the historical minority interest allocated to
Advance/Newhouses interest in TWE-A/N, have been reflected as a discontinued operation for all periods presented. Under the new TWE-A/N Partnership Agreement, effective as of the Debt Closing Date, Advance/Newhouses partnership interest
tracks only the economic performance of the Advance/Newhouse Systems, including associated liabilities, while AOL Time Warner retains all of the economic interests in the other TWE-A/N assets and liabilities.
As part of the restructuring of TWE-A/N, on the Debt Closing Date, AOL Time Warner effectively acquired Advance/Newhouses interest
in Road Runner, thereby increasing its ownership to approximately 82% on a fully attributed basis. As a result of the termination of Advance/Newhouses minority rights in Road Runner, AOL Time Warner has consolidated the financial position and
results of operations of Road Runner with the financial position and results of operations of AOL Time Warners Cable segment. As permitted under generally accepted accounting principles, the Company has consolidated the results of Road Runner
retroactive to the beginning of the year.
In connection with the TWE-A/N restructuring, AOL Time Warner
recognized a noncash pretax gain of approximately $1.4 billion during the third quarter of 2002, which is included as part of discontinued operations. Of this gain, approximately $1.2 billion related to the difference between the carrying value and
fair value of AT&Ts

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION(Continued)
interest in the Advance/Newhouse Systems, with the fair value being determined by reference to the fair value of AT&Ts additional interest acquired in the remaining TWE-A/N systems.
However, because this gain relates in large part to AT&Ts interest in TWE-A/N, it is substantially offset by minority interest expense, which is similarly included as part of discontinued operations. The remaining pretax gain of $188
million relates to the amount that the fair value of AOL Time Warners acquired interest in the TWE-A/N systems remaining under the control of AOL Time Warner exceeded the carrying value of AOL Time Warners interest in the
Advance/Newhouse Systems, and primarily relates to the portion of TWE-A/N debt assumed by Advance/Newhouse in excess of its pro rata share in effective compensation for certain adverse tax consequences to the Company as a result of the
restructuring. The gain is significantly less than the gain recognized by AT&T because the carrying value of AOL Time Warners interest in TWE-A/N, including its interest in the Advance/Newhouse Systems, was recently adjusted to fair value
as part of the purchase accounting for the Merger. The $188 million pretax gain is also included as part of discontinued operations during the third quarter of 2002. Exclusive of the gains associated with these transactions recognized during the
third quarter of 2002, the impact of the TWE-A/N restructuring on AOL Time Warners consolidated net income is substantially mitigated because the earnings of TWE-A/N attributable to Advance/Newhouses historical one-third interest was
reflected as minority interest expense. As stated previously, this historical minority interest expense is currently classified as part of the discontinued operations for all periods presented. Additionally, there is no impact on AOL Time
Warners consolidated net income of consolidating Road Runner since the Company had previously accounted for its interest in Road Runner under the equity method of accounting.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Transactions Affecting Comparability of Results of
Operations
Significant Transactions
AOL Time Warners results for 2002 have been impacted by the following significant transactions that cause them not to be comparable to the results reported in 2001.
· |
|
Consolidation of AOL Europe, S.A. (AOL Europe). On January 31, 2002, AOL Time Warner acquired 80% of Bertelsmann AGs
(Bertelsmann) 49.5% interest in AOL Europe for $5.3 billion in cash and has committed to acquire the remaining 20% of Bertelsmanns interest for $1.45 billion in cash in July 2002 (Note 5). As a result of the purchase of
Bertelsmanns interest in AOL Europe, AOL Time Warner has a majority interest and began consolidating AOL Europe, retroactive to the beginning of 2002. |
· |
|
Consolidation of IPC Group Limited (IPC). In October 2001, AOL Time Warners Publishing segment acquired IPC, the parent company of IPC
Media, from Cinven, one of Europes leading private equity firms, for approximately $1.6 billion, including transaction costs. |
Discontinued Operations
As previously discussed in
Restructuring of TWE-Advance/Newhouse Partnership and Road Runner, the Companys results of operations have been adjusted to reflect the results of the Advance/Newhouse Systems as a discontinued operation for all periods presented.
For the three months ended March 31, 2002,the net impact of the deconsolidation of these systems is a reduction of the Cable segments revenues, EBITDA and operating income of $352 million, $161 million and $99 million, respectively. For the
three months ended March 31, 2001, the net impact of the deconsolidation of the Advance/Newhouse Systems is a reduction of the Cable segments revenues, EBITDA and operating income of $292 million, $134 million and $76 million, respectively. In

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION(Continued)
addition, as of March 31, 2002, the Advance/Newhouse Systems had current assets and total assets of approximately $51 million and $2.7 billion, respectively, and current liabilities and total
liabilities of approximately $187 million and $778 million, respectively, including debt assumed on the Debt Closing Date. As of December 31, 2001, the Advance/Newhouse Systems had current assets and total assets of approximately $64 million and
$2.7 billion, respectively, and current liabilities and total liabilities of approximately $210 million and $963 million, respectively, including debt assumed on the Debt Closing Date.
New Accounting Standards
In addition to the
transactions previously discussed, in the first quarter of 2002, the Company adopted new accounting guidance in several areas, which are discussed below.
New Accounting Standard for Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
During 2001, the
Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (FAS 142), which requires that, effective January 1, 2002, goodwill,
including the goodwill included in the carrying value of investments accounted for using the equity method of accounting, and certain other intangible assets deemed to have an indefinite useful life, cease amortizing (Note 3). The new rules also
require that goodwill and certain intangible assets be assessed for impairment using fair value measurement techniques. During the first quarter of 2002, the Company completed its impairment review and has recorded a $54 billion noncash pretax
charge for the impairment of goodwill, substantially all of which was generated in the Merger. The charge reflects overall market declines since the Merger was announced in January 2000, is non-operational in nature and is reflected as a cumulative
effect of an accounting change in the accompanying consolidated financial statements (Note 3). In order to enhance comparability, the Company compares current year results to the prior year exclusive of this charge.
Reimbursement of Out-of-Pocket Expenses
In November 2001, the FASB Staff issued as interpretive guidance Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Topic No. D-103, Income Statement Characterization of Reimbursements Received for
Out-of-Pocket Expenses Incurred (Topic D-103). Topic D-103 requires that reimbursements received for out-of-pocket expenses be classified as revenue on the income statement and was effective for AOL Time Warner in the
first quarter of 2002. This change in revenue classification requires retroactive restatement of all periods presented to reflect the new accounting provisions and impacts AOL Time Warners Cable and Music segments, resulting in an increase in
both revenues and costs of approximately $86 million in the first quarter of 2001.
Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 01-09
In April 2001, the FASBs EITF reached a final consensus on EITF Issue No. 00-25, Vendor Income
Statement Characterization of Consideration Paid to a Reseller of the Vendors Products, which was later codified along with other similar issues, into EITF 01-09, Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer or a
Reseller of the Vendors Products (EITF 01-09). EITF 01-09 was effective for AOL Time Warner in the first quarter of 2002. EITF 01-09 clarifies the income statement classification of costs incurred by a vendor in connection
with the resellers purchase or promotion of the vendors products, resulting in certain cooperative advertising and product placement costs previously classified as selling expenses to be reflected as a reduction of revenues earned
5
AOL TIME WARNER INC.
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION(Continued)
from that activity. The new guidance requires retroactive restatement of all periods presented to reflect the new accounting provisions and impacts AOL Time Warners AOL, Music and
Publishing segments. As a result of applying the provisions of EITF 01-09, the Companys revenues and costs each were reduced by an equal amount of approximately $62 million in the first quarter of 2001.
Other Significant Transactions and Nonrecurring Items
As more fully described herein and in the related footnotes to the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the comparability of AOL Time Warners operating results has been affected by
certain significant transactions and nonrecurring items in each period.
In addition to the $54 billion impairment
charge to reflect the cumulative effect of an accounting change, AOL Time Warners operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2002 included (i) merger and restructuring costs of approximately $107 million (Note 2) and (ii) a noncash
pretax charge of approximately $581 million, including $590 million to reduce the carrying value of certain investments that experienced other-than-temporary declines in market value (including $571 million related to the write-down of AOL Time
Warners investment in Time Warner Telecom Inc. (Time Warner Telecom), a 44%-owned equity investee) and $9 million of gains to reflect market fluctuations in equity derivative instruments (Note 4).
For the three months ended March 31, 2001, AOL Time Warners operating results included (i) merger-related costs of approximately $71
million (Note 2) and (ii) a noncash pretax charge of approximately $620 million in 2001 to reduce the carrying value of certain investments that experienced other-than-temporary declines in market value (Note 4).

OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION(Continued)
(a) |
|
Revenues reflect the provisions of EITF 01-09 and Topic D-103 that were adopted by the Company in the first quarter of 2002, which require retroactive
restatement of 2001 to reflect the new accounting provisions. As a result, the net impact of EITF 01-09 and Topic D-103 was to increase revenues and costs by equal amounts of approximately $24 million for the first quarter of 2001.

As a result of Advance/Newhouse assuming responsibility for the day-to-day operations of the Advance/Newhouse Systems, the Cable segments results reflect
the deconsolidation of the operating results of the Advance/Newhouse Systems for all periods presented. For the three months ended March 31, 2002, the net impact of the deconsolidation of these systems is a reduction of the Cable segments
revenues, EBITDA and operating income of $352 million, $161 million and $99 million, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2001, the net impact of the deconsolidation of the Advance/Newhouse Systems is a reduction of the Cable
segments revenues, EBITDA and operating income of $292 million, $134 million and $76 million, respectively. In addition, the Cable segments results reflect the consolidation of Road Runners operating results effective January 1,
2002. |

Three Months Ended March 31, 2002 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2001
Consolidated Results
Revenues. AOL Time
Warners revenues increased to $9.424 billion in 2002, compared to $8.830 billion in 2001. Subscription revenues increased 23% to $4.467 billion, offset in part by a decrease in Advertising and Commerce revenues of 11% to $1.784 billion.
Content and Other revenues were relatively flat at $3.173 billion.
As discussed more fully below, the increase in
Subscription revenues was principally due to an increase in the number of subscribers and in subscription rates at the AOL, Cable and Networks segments, as well as the impact of the acquisitions of AOL Europe and IPC and the consolidation of Road
Runner. The decline in Advertising and Commerce revenues was principally due to lower advertising revenues related to the continued weakness in the overall advertising market in general and the online advertising market in particular. The weakness
in the online advertising market is expected to continue through at least the second quarter. The decline in advertising revenue was offset in part by slightly higher commerce revenues, which reflected improvements at the AOL and Publishing
segments. Content and Other revenues were relatively flat as increases at the Music and Publishing segments were offset by lower results at the AOL segment, primarily related to the termination of the iPlanet alliance with Sun Microsystems, Inc.
(Sun Microsystems), and the Filmed Entertainment segment, primarily due to lower television revenue at the filmed entertainment business of Turner Broadcasting System, Inc. (TBS).
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization decreased to $682 million in 2002 from $2.163 billion in 2001.
The decrease was due to a decrease in amortization expense to $164 million in 2002 from $1.764 billion in 2001 due to the adoption of FAS 142, which resulted in goodwill and certain intangible assets ceasing to be amortized. The decrease was offset
in part by an increase in depreciation expense to $518 million in 2002 from $399 million in 2001. The increase in depreciation reflects higher levels of capital spending at the Cable segment related to the roll-out of digital services over the past
three years, as well as increased capital spending that varies based on the number of new subscribers, which is depreciated over a shorter useful life.
Operating Income (Loss). Operating income was $1.057 billion in 2002, compared to an operating loss of $223 million in 2001. The improvement primarily related to a decrease in
amortization expense due to the adoption of FAS 142, offset in part by a decrease in EBITDA, which is discussed in detail under Business Segment Results, and an increase in depreciation expense.
Interest Expense, Net. Interest expense, net, increased to $376 million in 2002, from $311 million in 2001, due principally
to incremental borrowings to purchase 80% of Bertelsmanns 49.5% interest in AOL Europe and the

acquisition of IPC, offset in part by lower market interest rates in 2002. Included in interest expense, net, was interest income of $37 million in 2002 and $68 million in 2001.
Other Expense, Net. Other expense, net, decreased to $655 million in 2002 from $902 million
in 2001. Other expense, net, in each period included pretax noncash charges to reduce the carrying value of certain investments that experienced an other than temporary decline in value. In 2002, this charge was approximately $581 million, primarily
related to AOL Time Warners investment in Time Warner Telecom. In 2001, AOL Time Warner recorded a charge of approximately $620 million. Excluding these charges, other expense, net, decreased in 2002 due to lower losses on certain investments
accounted for using the equity method of accounting, primarily related to reduced amortization associated with the adoption of FAS 142.
Minority Interest Income (Expense). Minority interest income (expense) was $31 million of expense in 2002, compared to $5 million of minority interest income in 2001. The 2002 expense reflects the
accretion on preferred securities of AOL Europe and the adoption of FAS 142, which resulted in a reduction of amortization expense at the Companys partially owned consolidated investees, thereby resulting in higher income attributable to
minority partners.
Income Tax Provision. The relationship between income before income taxes and
income tax expense of AOL Time Warner is principally affected by certain financial statement expenses that are not deductible for income tax purposes, foreign income taxed at different rates and foreign losses with no U.S. tax benefit. AOL Time
Warner had income tax expense of $3 million in 2002, compared to an income tax benefit of $72 million in 2001. Income taxes in 2002, for financial reporting purposes, benefited from the tax effect of the approximate $581 million noncash charge to
reduce the carrying value of certain investments that experienced other-than-temporary declines in market value, including $571 million related to AOL Time Warners investment in Time Warner Telecom and $107 million of merger and restructuring
costs. Income taxes in 2001, for financial reporting purposes, benefited from the tax effect of the approximate $620 million noncash charge to reduce the carrying value of certain investments and $71 million of merger-related costs. Excluding the
tax effect of these items, the effective tax rate was comparable in each period. As of March 31, 2002, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $12 billion, primarily resulting from stock option exercises. These
carryforwards are available to offset future U.S. Federal taxable income and are, therefore, expected to reduce Federal taxes paid by the Company. If the net operating losses are not utilized, they expire in varying amounts, starting in 2010 through
2021.
Net Income (Loss) Applicable to Common Shares and Income (Loss) Per Common Share Before the
Cumulative Effect of an Accounting Change. AOL Time Warners loss before the cumulative effect of an accounting change decreased by $1.360 billion to $9 million in 2002, compared to $1.369 billion in 2001. Excluding the after-tax effect
of the significant and nonrecurring items referred to earlier, net income would have increased by $1.358 billion to $404 million in 2002 from a net loss of $954 million in 2001. Similarly, excluding the effect of significant and nonrecurring items,
basic and diluted net income per common share would have been $0.09 in 2002, compared to a basic and diluted net loss of $0.22 in 2001. The improvement primarily reflects reduced amortization associated with the adoption of FAS 142 and a decrease in
other expense, net, offset in part by an overall decrease in AOL Time Warners EBITDA, and increased depreciation expense, interest expense, net, and minority interest expense.

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION(Continued)
Management Evaluation
As noted above, the acquisitions of AOL Europe and IPC, the consolidation of Road Runner, as well as the implementation of FAS 142 significantly impacted the
comparability of AOL Time Warners 2002 results. In addition, other significant transactions and nonrecurring items occurred in each year, which also impacted the comparability of the Companys results. As such, in reviewing the
performance of its businesses, management also evaluates the Companys results assuming that the acquisitions of AOL Europe and IPC, the consolidation of Road Runner and the adoption of FAS 142 occurred as of the beginning of 2001. In addition,
management evaluates results excluding the previously discussed other significant transactions and nonrecurring items. Giving effect to these items, the Companys total revenues would have increased 3% (from $9.172 billion to $9.424 billion),
EBITDA would have increased 3% (from $1.800 billion to $1.846 billion), operating income would have declined 4% (from $1.208 billion to $1.164 billion) and net income would have increased 12% (from $363 million to $405 million).
Business Segment Results
AOL. Revenues increased 9% to $2.291 billion in 2002, compared to $2.095 billion in 2001. EBITDA decreased 39% to $418 million in 2002, compared to $683 million in 2001. Revenues benefited from a 37% increase
in Subscription revenues (from $1.252 billion to $1.717 billion), which was offset in part by a 28% decrease in Advertising and Commerce revenues (from $691 million to $495 million) and a 48% decrease in Content and Other revenues (from $152 million
to $79 million).
The growth in Subscription revenues was principally due to the acquisition of AOL Europe in
2002, as well as an increase in domestic subscribers and a domestic price increase that became effective subsequent to the first quarter of 2001. The positive impact of the price increase was tempered by an increase in certain marketing programs
designed to introduce the AOL service to new members, including certain bundling programs with computer manufacturers that generate lower subscription revenues during introductory periods and the sale of bulk subscriptions at a discounted rate to
AOLs selected strategic partners for distribution to their employees. The decline in advertising and commerce revenues resulted from the weakness in the advertising market overall, and the online advertising marketplace in particular, slightly
offset by contributions from AOL Europe. This downturn is expected to continue at least through the second quarter. The drop in advertising revenues was in contrast to the growth in general advertising revenues experienced in the first quarter of
2001. Also contributing to the decline in advertising revenues is a reduction in advertising recognized pursuant to contractual commitments entered into in prior periods. This decline was offset in part by an increase in intercompany sales of
advertising to other business segments of AOL Time Warner ($54 million in 2002 versus $21 million in 2001). The overall decline in advertising revenues was offset in part by increased commerce revenues from the expansion of AOLs merchandise
business. The decrease in Content and Other revenues is primarily due to termination of AOLs iPlanet alliance with Sun Microsystems in the third quarter of 2001, which contributed approximately $88 million of revenue and approximately $62
million of EBITDA during the first quarter of 2001.
The decline in EBITDA is primarily due to the advertising
revenue shortfall, the absence of revenues from the iPlanet alliance, and the acquisition of AOL Europe, offset in part by the continued decline in network costs on a per hour basis and cost management initiatives entered into during 2001. The
increase in advertising revenue generated from intercompany sales of advertising to other business segments of AOL Time Warner did not significantly impact EBITDA as it was more than offset by costs associated with increased intercompany advertising
purchased on properties of other AOL Time Warner business segments.

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION(Continued)
The current year results are significantly impacted by the
acquisition of AOL Europe as discussed above. Accordingly, management also evaluates the current period results assuming the operations of AOL Europe were consolidated beginning January 1, 2001. Assuming such consolidation as of January 1, 2001,
AOLs revenues would have been flat ($2.291 billion in 2002, compared to $2.289 billion in 2001), subscription revenues would have increased by 19% to $1.717 billion in 2002, compared to $1.441 billion in 2001, Advertising and Commerce revenues
would have decreased 30% to $495 million in 2002, compared to $708 million in 2001, Content and Other revenues would have decreased 44% to $79 million in 2002, as compared to $140 million in 2001, and EBITDA would have decreased 17% to $418 million
in 2002, compared to $506 million in 2001.
Cable. Revenues increased 20% to
$1.683 billion in 2002, compared to $1.401 billion in 2001. EBITDA increased 3% to $652 million in 2002 from $634 million in 2001. Depreciation expense increased to $274 million in 2002 from $194 million in 2001. Revenues increased due to a 17%
increase in Subscription revenues (from $1.307 billion to $1.530 billion) and a 63% increase in Advertising and Commerce revenues (from $94 million to $153 million). The increase in Subscription revenues was due to higher basic cable rates, an
increase in subscribers to high-speed data services, an increase in digital cable subscribers and, to a lesser degree, an increase in basic cable subscribers, as well as the impact of the consolidation of Road Runner in 2002. Digital cable
subscribers increased by 68% to 3.6 million and high-speed data subscribers increased by 86% to 2.2 million in 2002 over the prior year comparable period. The increase in Advertising and Commerce revenues was primarily related to advertising
purchased by programming vendors to promote their channel launches ($41 million in 2002 versus $16 million in 2001), the intercompany sale of advertising to other business segments of AOL Time Warner ($27 million in 2002 versus $3 million in 2001)
and a 13% increase in general third-party advertising sales.
EBITDA increased principally as a result of the
revenue gains, offset in part by increases in programming and other operating costs and the consolidation of Road Runner in 2002. The increase in programming costs of approximately 28% relates to general programming rate increases across both basic
and digital services, the addition of new programming services and higher basic and digital subscriber levels. Programming costs are expected to continue to increase as general programming rates increase and digital services continue to be rolled
out. Other operating costs increased as a result of generally higher sales, marketing and technical activity levels associated with new service introductions and development spending in the Interactive Personal Video division. The increase in
depreciation expense reflects higher levels of capital spending related to the roll-out of digital services over the past three years.
As noted above, the consolidation of Road Runner effective January 1, 2002 significantly impacted the comparability of the Cable segments 2002 results by increasing revenues and decreasing EBITDA. As such, management
of the Company also evaluates the results of the Cable segment assuming that the results of Road Runner were included in both periods. Assuming that the results of Road Runner were included in both periods, total revenues would have increased 18%
(from $1.427 billion to $1.683 billion), Subscription revenues would have increased 15% (from $1.332 billion to $1.530 billion) and EBITDA would have increased 11% (from $586 million to $652 million).
Filmed Entertainment. Revenues declined 3% to $2.136 billion in 2002, compared to $2.212 billion in 2001. EBITDA increased
60% to $181 million in 2002, compared to $113 million in 2001. Revenues and EBITDA increased at Warner Bros. while revenues decreased and EBITDA increased at the filmed entertainment businesses of TBS (the Turner filmed entertainment
businesses). The Turner filmed entertainment businesses include New Line

Cinema, Castle Rock and the former film and television libraries of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Inc. and RKO pictures.
For Warner Bros., the revenue increase was primarily related to the international theatrical success of Harry Potter and the
Sorcerers Stone and Oceans Eleven and higher worldwide consumer products licensing results, offset in part by reduced commerce revenues related to the closure of its Studio Stores, lower worldwide home video activity and
reduced television license fees caused by the timing of product availability. For the Turner filmed entertainment businesses, revenues decreased primarily due to lower television revenues related to the absence in 2002 of significant syndication
revenues to broadcast Seinfeld and lower pay-television and basic cable television revenues due to the timing of TV availabilities for film product. This was offset in part by New Line Cinemas continued theatrical success of The Lord
of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, as well as the theatrical successes of John Q and Blade II, which were released in 2002. For Warner Bros., EBITDA increased principally due to improvements related to the mix in
theatrical product, primarily related to the profitability of Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone. For the Turner filmed entertainment businesses, EBITDA increased principally due to the profitability of The Lord of the Rings: The
Fellowship of the Ring.
Networks. Revenues increased 5% to $1.786 billion in 2002,
compared to $1.699 billion in 2001. EBITDA declined 4% to $431 million in 2002 from $449 million in 2001. Revenues grew primarily due to an increase in Subscription revenues with growth at both the cable networks of TBS (the Turner cable
networks) and HBO and an increase in Content and Other revenues at HBO, offset in part by a decrease in Advertising and Commerce revenues at the Turner cable networks and The WB Network.
For the Turner cable networks, Subscription revenues benefited from higher rates and an increase in the number of subscribers. Advertising and Commerce revenues
declined due to the continued overall weakness in the advertising market and a decline in intercompany sales of advertising to other business segments of AOL Time Warner ($31 million in 2002 versus $33 million in 2001). For HBO, Subscription
revenues benefited from an increase in the number of subscribers and higher rates. Content and Other revenues benefited from higher home video sales of HBOs original programming. For The WB Network, the decrease in Advertising and Commerce
revenues was driven by lower prime time ratings, partially offset by higher rates.
EBITDA decreased due to lower
results at the Turner cable networks and The WB Network, offset in part by improved results at HBO. For the Turner cable networks, the decrease in EBITDA was principally due to the Advertising and Commerce revenue declines and higher programming,
marketing and newsgathering costs, partially offset by the increased Subscription revenues and cost savings. For The WB Network, the EBITDA decline was principally due to lower Advertising and Commerce revenues and higher program license fees,
offset in part by a decrease in marketing costs. For HBO, the increase in EBITDA was principally due to the increase in revenues.
Music. Revenues increased 5% to $947 million in 2002, compared to $904 million in 2001. EBITDA increased 2% to $96 million in 2002 from $94 million in 2001. Revenues increased primarily due to higher worldwide sales as
well as the impact of the acquisition of Word Entertainment in January 2002, offset in part by the negative effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on international revenues. The increase in EBITDA is due primarily to the revenue
increase. As of March 31, 2002, the Music segment had increased its domestic album market share to 18.0%, compared to 15.7% at March 31, 2001.
Publishing. Revenues increased 16% to $1.081 billion in 2002, compared to $929 million in 2001. EBITDA increased 28% to $145 million in 2002 from $113 million in 2001. The increase
in revenues is due to a

AOL TIME WARNER INC.
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION(Continued)
25% increase in Subscription revenues, 11% increase in Advertising and Commerce revenues and a 30% increase in Content and Other
revenues. The increase in Subscription revenues is due to the acquisition of IPC in October 2001, offset in part by the timing of weekly magazine publications, resulting in fewer issues in the first quarter of 2002 than in the comparable period in
2001. The growth in Advertising and Commerce revenues was primarily due to advertising revenues recognized by IPC and commerce revenues recognized by Synapse Group Inc. (Synapse), which was acquired in December 2001. This was offset in
part by lower commerce revenues from Time Lifes direct marketing business and the continued overall weakness in the advertising market. The increase in Content and Other revenues is due primarily to increased sales at the AOL Time Warner Book
Group due to the carryover successes of 2001 bestsellers. The growth in EBITDA is due primarily to the acquisition of IPC, an increase in commerce revenues related to the acquisition of Synapse and an increase in content revenue.
As noted above, the acquisition of IPC in October 2001 significantly impacted the comparability of the Publishing
segments 2002 results by significantly increasing both revenues and EBITDA. As such, management of the Company also evaluates the results of the Publishing segment assuming that the results of IPC were included in both periods. Assuming that
the results of IPC were included in both periods, total revenues would have increased 3% (from $1.051 billion to $1.081 billion), Subscription revenues would have decreased 8% (from $270 million to $248 million), Advertising and Commerce revenues
would have increased 3% (from $652 million to $673 million) and EBITDA would have increased 14% (from $127 million to $145 million).
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY
March 31, 2002
Current Financial Condition
At March 31, 2002, AOL Time Warner had $28.5 billion of debt,
$886 million of cash and equivalents (net debt of $27.6 billion, defined as total debt less cash and cash equivalents) and $98 billion of shareholders equity, compared to $22.8 billion of debt, $719 million of cash and equivalents (net debt of
$22.1 billion) and $152.0 billion of shareholders equity at December 31, 2001. In addition, the Company also had approximately $769 million of redeemable preferred securities outstanding, which was previously issued by AOL Europe, and was
classified as Minority Interest in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.
At March 31, 2002, the Company
had approximately $4.5 billion of committed, available funding. In early April 2002, the Company issued $6.0 billion principal amount of debt in a public offering under AOL Time Warners $10 billion shelf registration statement discussed below.
These proceeds were primarily used to repay borrowings under the bank credit agreements and commercial paper program. Taking these repayments into account, the Company has approximately $10 billion of committed, available funding as of April 24,
2002.
As discussed in more detail below, management believes that AOL Time Warners operating cash flow,
cash and equivalents, borrowing capacity under committed bank credit agreements and commercial paper programs are sufficient to fund its capital and liquidity needs for the foreseeable future.
Cash Flows
Operating Activities
During the first three months of 2002, AOL Time Warners cash provided by operations amounted to $1.759
12
AOL TIME WARNER INC.
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION(Continued)
billion and reflected $1.739 billion of EBITDA, less $369 million of net interest payments, $59 million of net income taxes paid and
$200 million of payments to settle merger and restructuring liabilities. Cash flow from operations also reflects a reduction in other working capital requirements of $648 million.
Cash provided by operations of $973 million for the first three months of 2001 reflected $1.940 billion of EBITDA, less $391 million of net interest payments, $122 million
of net income taxes paid and $602 million of payments to settle restructuring and merger-related liabilities. Cash flow from operations also reflects a reduction in other working capital requirements of $148 million.
The growth in cash flow from operations is being driven primarily by lower income taxes and interest paid, a decrease in payments to
settle restructuring and merger-related liabilities, as well as improvements in working capital, offset in part by a decrease in EBITDA.
Investing Activities
Cash used by investing activities was $6.311 billion the first three
months of 2002, compared to cash provided by investing activities of $463 million in 2001. The cash used by investing activities in 2002 reflects approximately $5.668 billion of cash used for acquisitions and investments, including $5.3 billion,
which related to the acquisition of 80% of Bertelsmanns interest in AOL Europe. In addition, cash used by investing activities in 2002 included $666 million of capital expenditures and product development costs.
The cash provided by investing activities of $463 million for the first three months of 2001 reflects $973 million of cash used for
acquisitions and investments and $903 million of capital expenditures and product development costs, offset in part by $690 million of cash acquired in the Merger and $1.649 billion of proceeds received from the sale of investments. The proceeds
received from the sale of investments in 2001 was due primarily to the sale of short-term investments previously held by America Online, which were acquired in 2000.
The reduction in cash from investing activities is primarily due to the increased cash used for acquisitions and investments, principally the acquisition of 80% of
Bertelsmanns interest in AOL Europe. Also contributing to the decrease is the absence in 2002 of proceeds from the sale of short-term investments that occurred in the first quarter of 2001.
Financing Activities
Cash provided by financing
activities was $4.719 billion for the first three months of 2002. This compares to cash used by financing activities of $2.778 billion in 2001. The source of cash in 2002 principally resulted from approximately $4.969 billion of net incremental
borrowings, primarily used to acquire 80% of Bertelsmanns interest in AOL Europe, and $147 million of proceeds received principally from the exercise of employee stock options, offset in part by the redemption of redeemable preferred
securities at AOL Europe for $255 million, the repurchase of AOL Time Warner common stock for total cash of $102 million, $17 million of dividends and partnership distributions and $7 million of principal payments on capital leases.
Cash used by financing activities of $2.778 billion for the first three months of 2001 primarily resulted from $1.844 billion
of net payments on borrowings, the repurchase of AOL Time Warner common stock for an aggregate cost of $615 million, the redemption of mandatorily redeemable preferred securities of a subsidiary for $575 million and $21 million of dividends and
partnership distributions, offset in part by $277 million of proceeds received principally from the exercise of employee stock options. The increase in cash from financing activities is principally

due to net incremental borrowings used to finance the acquisition of Bertelsmanns interest in AOL Europe.
Free Cash Flow
AOL Time Warner evaluates operating performance based on several measures including free cash flow, which is defined as cash provided by operations less capital expenditures and product development costs, dividend payments and
partnership distributions, and principal payments on capital leases. Free cash flow in 2002 was $1.069 billion, compared to $49 million in 2001. The comparability of AOL Time Warners free cash flow has been affected by certain significant
unusual and nonrecurring items in each period. Specifically, AOL Time Warners free cash flow has been impacted by the cash impact of the significant and nonrecurring items previously discussed. In addition, free cash flow has been impacted by
payments made in settling other merger and restructuring liabilities. For the first three months of 2002, these items aggregated approximately $200 million of cash payments. For 2001, these items aggregated approximately $602 million. Excluding the
effect of these nonrecurring items and discontinued operations, free cash flow increased to $1.207 billion in 2002 from $624 million in 2001, primarily due to improved cash flows from the filmed entertainment businesses, reduced interest and taxes
paid, lower capital expenditures and product development costs and improvements in working capital, offset in part by a decrease in EBITDA. Part of the quarters growth in free cash flow was related to the timing of various cash payments and
receipts which is expected to have an offsetting impact on free cash flow generation in future quarters.
TWE Cash Flow Restrictions
The assets and cash flows of TWE are restricted by certain borrowing and partnership agreements and are
unavailable to AOL 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 AOL Time Warner, subject to its individual compliance with the cash flow coverage and leverage ratio covenants contained therein.
Common Stock Repurchase Program
In January
2001, AOL Time Warners Board of Directors authorized a common stock repurchase program that allows AOL Time Warner to repurchase, from time to time, up to $5 billion of common stock over a two-year period. During the first three months of
2002, the Company repurchased approximately 4 million shares at an aggregate cost of $102 million. These repurchases increased the cumulative shares purchased under this common stock repurchase program to approximately 79.4 million shares at an
aggregate cost of $3.148 billion. In an effort to maintain financial flexibility, the pace of share repurchases under this program has slowed in 2002.
$10 Billion Shelf Registration Statement
In January 2001, AOL Time Warner filed a shelf
registration statement with the SEC, which allowed AOL Time Warner to offer and sell from time to time, debt securities, preferred stock, series common stock, common stock and/or warrants to purchase debt and equity securities in amounts up to $10
billion in initial aggregate public offering prices. On April 19, 2001, AOL Time Warner issued an aggregate of $4 billion principal amount of debt securities under this shelf registration statement at various fixed interest rates and maturities of
5, 10 and 30 years. On April 8, 2002, AOL Time Warner issued the remaining $6 billion principal amount of debt securities under this shelf registration statement at various fixed interest rates and maturities of 3, 5, 10 and 30 years. The net
proceeds to the Company were approximately $3.964 billion under the first issuance and approximately $5.930 billion under the
14

second issuance, both of which were used for general corporate purposes, including, but not limited to, the repayment of outstanding
commercial paper and bank debt. The securities under both issuances are guaranteed on an unsecured basis by each of America Online and Time Warner. In addition, Time Warner Companies, Inc. and Turner Broadcasting System, Inc. have guaranteed, on an
unsecured basis, Time Warners guarantee of the securities. The Company plans to file a new shelf registration statement in the near future.
Capital Expenditures and Product Development Costs
AOL Time Warners overall capital
expenditures and product development costs for the three months ended March 31, 2002 was $666 million, a decrease of $237 million over capital expenditures and product development costs of $903 million for 2001. Capital expenditures and product
development costs from continuing operations were $589 million in 2002, compared to $799 million in 2001. AOL Time Warners capital expenditures and product development costs and the related decrease in capital expenditures and product
development costs is due principally to the Cable segment. Over the past three years, the Cable segment has been engaged in a plan to upgrade the technological capability and reliability of its cable television systems and develop new services,
which management believes will position the business for sustained, long-term growth. Capital expenditures by the Cable segment from continuing operations amounted to $355 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002, compared to $473 million
for the three months ended March 31, 2001. As more systems are upgraded, the fixed portion of Cables capital expenditures are replaced with spending that varies based on the number of new subscribers. Capital expenditures by the Cable segment
is expected to continue to be funded by the Cable segments operating cash flow.
CAUTION CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
The SEC encourages companies to disclose forward-looking information so that investors can better understand
a companys future prospects and make informed investment decisions. This document contains such forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, particularly statements
anticipating future growth in revenues, EBITDA 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 based on managements present expectations 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.
AOL Time Warner
operates in highly competitive, consumer-driven and rapidly changing Internet, media and entertainment businesses. These businesses are affected by government regulation, economic, political and social conditions, consumer response to new and
existing products and services, technological developments and, particularly in view of new technologies, the continued ability to protect intellectual property rights. AOL Time Warners actual results could differ materially from
managements expectations because of changes in such factors. Other factors and risks could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements, including those identified in AOL Time Warners other
filings with the SEC and the following:
|
|
For AOL Time Warners America Online businesses, the ability to develop new products and services to remain competitive; the ability to develop, adopt or
have access to new technologies; the ability to successfully implement its broadband strategy; the ability to have access to distribution channels controlled by third parties; the ability to retain and grow the subscriber base; the ability to
provide adequate server, network and system |

|
capacity; the risk of unanticipated increased costs for network services; increased competition from providers of Internet services; the ability to maintain or
enter into new electronic commerce, advertising, marketing or content arrangements; the ability to maintain and grow market share in the enterprise software industry; the risks from changes in U.S. and international regulatory environments affecting
interactive services; and the ability to continue to expand successfully internationally. |
|
|
For AOL Time Warners 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, open access or common carrier requirements); government regulation of other services, such
as broadband cable modem service; 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 prices consumers are willing to pay, to function as expected and to be delivered in a timely fashion; fluctuations in spending levels by advertisers and consumers; and greater than
expected increases in programming or other costs. |
|
|
For AOL Time Warners filmed entertainment businesses generally, 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; the potential repeal of the Sonny Bono Copyright Term Extension Act; the uncertain impact of technological developments which may facilitate piracy of the Companys copyrighted works; and risks associated with foreign currency
exchange rates. With respect to feature films, the increasing marketing costs associated with theatrical film releases in a highly competitive marketplace; with respect to television programming, a decrease in demand for television programming
provided by non-affiliated producers; and with respect to home video, the ability to maintain relationships with significant customers in the rental and sell-through markets. |
|
|
For AOL Time Warners network 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 network advertising to economic cyclicality and to new media technologies; the impact of
consolidation among cable and satellite distributors; piracy of programming by means of Internet peer-to-peer file sharing; the impact of personal video recorder ad-stripping functions on advertising sales; the development of new
technologies that alter the role of programming networks and services; and greater than expected fragmentation of consumer viewership due to an increased number of programming services or the increased popularity of alternatives to television.
|
|
|
For AOL Time Warners music business, its ability to continue to attract and select desirable talent at manageable costs; the popular demand for particular
artists and albums; the timely completion of albums by major artists; its ability to continue to enforce its intellectual property rights in digital environments; piracy of programming by means of Internet peer-to-peer file sharing; its ability to
develop a successful business model applicable to a digital online environment; the potential repeal of Subsection (6) of California Labor Code Section 2855 regarding the maximum length of personal service contracts; the potential repeal of the
Sonny Bono Copyright Term Extension Act; risks associated with foreign currency exchange rates; and the overall strength of global music sales. |
16
AOL TIME WARNER INC.
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION(Continued)
|
|
For AOL Time Warners print media and publishing businesses, fluctuations in spending levels by advertisers and consumers; unanticipated increases in
paper, postal and distribution costs (including costs resulting from financial pressure on the U.S. Postal Service); increased costs and business disruption resulting from instability in the newsstand distribution channel; the introduction and
increased popularity of alternative technologies for the provision of news and information; and the ability to continue to develop new sources of circulation. |
|
|
The risks related to the continued successful operation of the businesses of AOL Time Warner on an integrated basis and the possibility that the Company will
not be able to continue to realize the benefits of the combination of these businesses. |
In
addition, the Companys overall financial strategy, including growth in operations, maintaining its financial ratios and a strong balance sheet, could be adversely affected by increased interest rates, failure to meet earnings expectations,
significant acquisitions or other transactions, economic slowdowns and changes in the Companys plans, strategies and intentions.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Description of Business
AOL Time Warner Inc. (AOL Time Warner or the Company) is the worlds first Internet-powered media and communications company. The Company was
formed in connection with the merger of America Online, Inc. (America Online) and Time Warner Inc. (Time Warner), which was consummated on January 11, 2001 (the Merger). As a result of the Merger, America Online
and Time Warner each became a wholly owned subsidiary of AOL Time Warner.
AOL Time Warner classifies its business
interests into six fundamental areas: AOL, consisting principally of interactive services, Web properties, Internet technologies and electronic commerce services; Cable, consisting principally of interests in cable television systems;
Filmed Entertainment, consisting principally of interests in filmed entertainment and television production; Networks, consisting principally of interests in cable television and broadcast network programming; Music, consisting
principally of interests in recorded music and music publishing; and Publishing, consisting principally of interests in magazine publishing, book publishing and direct marketing. Financial information for AOL Time Warners various
business segments is presented in Note 10.
Each of the business interests within AOL Time Warner AOL,
Cable, Filmed Entertainment, Networks, Music and Publishing is important to managements 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 worldwide Internet services, such as the AOL and Compuserve services, leading Web properties, such as Netscape, Moviefone and MapQuest, instant messaging services, such as ICQ and AOL Instant
Messenger, and music properties, such as the AOL Music Channel, Winamp and SHOUTcast, (2) Time Warner Cable, currently the second largest operator of cable television systems in the U.S., (3) 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, (4) leading television networks, such as The WB Network, HBO, Cinemax, CNN, TNT, TBS
Superstation and Cartoon Network, (5) copyrighted music from many of the worlds 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 and (6) magazine franchises, such as Time, People and Sports Illustrated.
Investment in Time Warner Entertainment Company, L.P.
A majority of AOL Time
Warners interests in filmed entertainment, television production, television broadcasting and cable television systems, and a portion of its interests in cable television programming are held through Time Warner Entertainment Company, L.P.
(TWE). AOL 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

Basis of Presentation
Restatement of Prior Financial Information
The Company is conducting an internal review of certain advertising and commerce transactions at the AOL segment under the direction of the Companys Chief Financial Officer. In connection with this internal review, the
financial results for each of the quarters ended September 30, 2000 through June 30, 2002 are being restated. The total impact of the adjustments is a reduction of the Companys consolidated advertising and commerce revenues of $190 million
over these eight quarterly periods, with corresponding reductions in EBITDA, operating income and net income for that same time period of $97 million, $83 million and $46 million, respectively. For the AOL segment, the impact of the adjustments is a
reduction of advertising and commerce revenues of $168 million over these eight quarterly periods, with corresponding reductions in EBITDA and operating income for that same time period of $97 million and $83 million, respectively. The remaining
impact on the Companys consolidated advertising and commerce revenues of $22 million represents a reduction in revenues from certain transactions related to the AOL segment in which the advertising was delivered by other AOL Time Warner
segments. The adjustments represent approximately 1% of the AOL segments total revenues for that same two-year period, approximately 3.4% of its advertising and commerce revenues, approximately 1.9% of its EBITDA and approximately 2.1% of its
operating income. The largest impact of the adjustments is in the quarter ended September 30, 2000, where advertising and commerce revenues are reduced by $66 million and both EBITDA and operating income are reduced by $30 million and net income is
reduced by $18 million. The restatement results in a decrease in basic earnings per share of $0.01 in both the third and fourth quarters of 2000.
The financial results presented in this report reflect the restatement of the Companys financial results. For the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, the total impact of these adjustments
is a reduction of the Companys consolidated advertising and commerce revenues of $12 million and $14 million, respectively, with a corresponding reduction in EBITDA of $15 million and $1 million, respectively, operating income of $13 million
and $0, respectively, and consolidated net income of $4 million and $0, respectively. For the AOL segment, for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, the impact of these adjustments is a reduction of advertising and commerce revenues of $6
million and $13 million, respectively, with a corresponding reduction in EBITDA of $15 million and $1 million, respectively and operating income of $13 million and $0, respectively. The remaining impact on advertising and commerce revenues of $6
million and $1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, represents a reduction in revenues from certain transactions related to the AOL segment in which the advertising was delivered by other AOL Time Warner
segments.
Based on the substantial work done to date, the Company does not expect any further restatements as a
result of its internal review. However, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Department of Justice (DOJ) are investigating the financial reporting and disclosure practices of the Company. The Company cannot
predict the outcome of these investigations at this time. The Company will continue its efforts to cooperate with the investigations.
In addition to the restatement of prior financial information relating to certain advertising and commerce transactions at the AOL segment, this document reflects subsequent events that result in retroactive adjustments.
During the third quarter of 2002, Advance/Newhouse Partnership assumed responsibility for the day-to-day operations of certain cable systems held by the TWE-Advance/Newhouse Partnership. As a result, the Company has deconsolidated the financial
results of these systems and has retroactively presented such results as discontinued operations for all periods presented. In addition, the Company also began consolidating the financial position and results of operations of Road Runner. As
permitted under generally accepted accounting principles, the Company has consolidated the results of Road Runner retroactive to the beginning of 2002. Details of the transaction resulting in the discontinued operations and the consolidation of Road
Runner, as well as the impact of the discontinued operations, are provided under Restructuring of TWE-Advance/Newhouse Partnership and Road Runner below.
Restructuring of TWE-Advance/Newhouse Partnership and Road Runner
As of March 31, 2002, the TWE-Advance/Newhouse Partnership (TWE-A/N) was owned approximately 64.8% by TWE, the managing partner, 33.3% by the Advance/Newhouse Partnership (Advance/Newhouse) and 1.9% indirectly
by AOL Time Warner. Prior to August 1, 2002, the financial position and operating results of TWE-A/N were consolidated by AOL Time Warner and TWE, and the partnership interest owned by Advance/Newhouse was reflected in the consolidated financial
statements of AOL Time Warner and TWE as minority interest. In addition, Road Runner, a high-speed cable modem Internet service provider, was owned by TWI Cable Inc. (a wholly owned subsidiary of AOL Time Warner), TWE and TWE-A/N, with AOL Time
Warner owning approximately 65% on a fully attributed basis (i.e., after considering the portion attributable to the minority partners of TWE and TWE-A/N). AOL Time Warners interest in Road Runner was accounted for using the equity method of
accounting prior to August 1, 2002 because of certain approval rights held by Advance/Newhouse, a partner in TWE-A/N.
On June 24, 2002, TWE and Advance/Newhouse agreed to restructure TWE-A/N, which, on August 1, 2002 (the Debt Closing Date), resulted in Advance/Newhouse assuming responsibility for the day-to-day operations of certain
TWE-A/N cable systems serving approximately 2.1 million subscribers located primarily in Florida (the Advance/Newhouse Systems). The restructuring is anticipated to be completed by the end of 2002, upon the receipt of certain regulatory
approvals. On the Debt Closing Date, Advance/Newhouse and its affiliates arranged for a new credit facility to support the Advance/Newhouse Systems and assumed and repaid approximately $780 million of TWE-A/Ns senior indebtedness. As of the
Debt Closing Date, Advance/Newhouse assumed responsibility for the day-to-day operations of the Advance/Newhouse Systems. As a result, AOL Time Warner and TWE have deconsolidated the financial position and operating results of these systems.
Additionally, all prior period results associated with the Advance/Newhouse Systems, including the historical minority interest allocated to Advance/Newhouses interest in TWE-A/N, have been reflected as a discontinued operation for all periods
presented. Under the new TWE-A/N Partnership Agreement, effective as of the Debt Closing Date, Advance/Newhouses partnership interest tracks only the economic performance of the Advance/Newhouse Systems, including associated liabilities, while
AOL Time Warner retains all of the economic interests in the other TWE-A/N assets and liabilities.
The
Companys results of operations have been adjusted to reflect the results of the Advance/Newhouse Systems as a discontinued operation for all periods presented. For the three months ended March 31, 2002, the net impact of the deconsolidation of
these systems was a reduction of the Cable segments revenues, EBITDA and operating income of $352 million, $161 million and $99 million, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2001, the net impact of the deconsolidation of the
Advance/Newhouse Systems is a reduction of the Cable segments previously reported revenues, EBITDA and operating income of $292 million, $134 million and $76 million, respectively. In addition, as of March 31, 2002, the Advance/Newhouse
Systems had current assets and total assets of approximately $51 million and $2.7 billion, respectively, and current liabilities and total liabilities of approximately $187 million and $778 million, respectively, including debt assumed on the Debt
Closing Date. As of December 31, 2001, the Advance/Newhouse Systems had current assets and total assets of approximately $64 million and $2.7 billion, respectively, and current liabilities and total liabilities of approximately $210 million and $963
million, respectively, including debt assumed on the Debt Closing Date.
As part of the restructuring of TWE-A/N,
on the Debt Closing Date, AOL Time Warner effectively acquired Advance/Newhouses interest in Road Runner, thereby increasing its ownership to approximately 82% on a fully attributed basis. As a result of the termination of
Advance/Newhouses minority rights in Road Runner, AOL Time Warner has consolidated the financial position and results of operations of Road Runner with the financial position and results of operations of AOL Time Warners Cable segment.
As permitted under generally accepted accounting principles, the Company has consolidated the results of Road Runner retroactive to the beginning of the year.
In connection with the TWE-A/N restructuring, AOL Time Warner recognized a noncash pretax gain of approximately $1.4 billion during the third quarter of 2002, which is included as part of discontinued
operations. Of this gain, approximately $1.2 billion related to the difference between the carrying value and fair value of AT&Ts interest in the Advance/Newhouse Systems, with the fair value being determined by reference to the fair value
of AT&Ts additional interest acquired in the remaining TWE-A/N systems. However, because this gain relates in large part to AT&Ts interest in TWE-A/N, it is substantially offset by minority interest expense, which is similarly
included as part of discontinued operations. The remaining pretax gain of $188 million relates to the amount that the fair value of AOL Time Warners acquired interest in the TWE-A/N systems remaining under the control of AOL Time Warner
exceeded the carrying value of AOL Time Warners interest in the Advance/Newhouse Systems, and primarily relates to the portion of TWE-A/N debt assumed by Advance/Newhouse in excess of its pro rata share in effective compensation for certain
adverse tax consequences to the Company as a result of the restructuring. The gain is significantly less than the gain recognized by AT&T because the carrying value of AOL Time Warners interest in TWE-A/N, including its interest in the
Advance/Newhouse Systems, was recently adjusted to fair value as part of the purchase accounting for the Merger. The $188 million pretax gain is also included as part of discontinued operations during the third quarter of 2002. Exclusive of the
gains associated with these transactions recognized during the third quarter of 2002, the impact of the TWE-A/N restructuring on AOL Time Warners consolidated net income is substantially mitigated because the earnings of TWE-A/N attributable
to Advance/Newhouses historical one-third interest was reflected as minority interest expense. As stated previously, this historical minority interest expense is currently classified as part of the discontinued operations for all periods
presented. Additionally, there is no impact on AOL Time Warners consolidated net income of consolidating Road Runner since the Company had previously accounted for its interest in Road Runner under the equity method of accounting.

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 AOL Time Warner, included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001, as amended by
Amendment No. 1 thereto on Form 10-K/A filed March 26, 2002, Amendment No. 2 thereto on Form 10-K/A filed June 28, 2002 and Amendment No. 3 thereto on Form 10-K/A filed January 28, 2003 (the 2001 Form 10-K).
Revenue Classification Changes
Reimbursement of Out-of-Pocket Expenses
In November 2001, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Staff issued as interpretive guidance EITF Topic No. D-103, Income Statement Characterization of Reimbursements Received for Out-of-Pocket Expenses Incurred (Topic
D-103). Topic D-103 requires that reimbursements received for out-of-pocket expenses be classified as revenue on the income statement was effective for AOL Time Warner in the first quarter of 2002. The new guidance requires retroactive
restatement of all periods presented to reflect the new accounting provisions. This change in revenue classification impacts AOL Time Warners Cable and Music segments, resulting in an increase in both revenues and costs of approximately $86
million in the first quarter of 2001.
Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 01-09
In April 2001, the FASBs Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) reached a final consensus on EITF Issue No. 00-25,
Vendor Income Statement Characterization of Consideration Paid to a Reseller of the Vendors Products, which was later codified along with other similar issues, into EITF No. 01-09, Accounting for Consideration Given by a
Vendor to a Customer or a Reseller of the Vendors Products (EITF 01-09). EITF 01-09 was effective for AOL Time Warner in the first quarter of 2002. EITF 01-09 clarifies the income statement classification of costs incurred by
a vendor in connection with the resellers purchase or promotion of the vendors products, resulting in certain cooperative advertising and product placement costs previously classified as selling expenses to be reflected as a reduction of
revenues earned from that activity. The new guidance impacts AOL Time

Warners AOL, Music and Publishing segments and requires retroactive restatement of all periods presented to reflect the new
accounting provisions. As a result of applying the provisions of EITF 01-09, the Companys revenues and costs each were reduced by an equal amount of approximately $62 million in the first quarter of 2001.
Accounting for Business Combinations
In July 2001, the FASB issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (Statement) No. 141, Business Combinations and No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (FAS
142). These standards change the accounting for business combinations by, among other things, prohibiting the prospective use of pooling-of-interests accounting and requiring companies to stop amortizing goodwill and certain intangible assets
with an indefinite useful life. Instead, goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have an indefinite useful life will be subject to an annual review for impairment. The new standards generally were effective for AOL Time Warner in the first quarter
of 2002 and for purchase business combinations consummated after June 30, 2001. Upon adoption of FAS 142 in the first quarter of 2002, AOL Time Warner recorded a noncash charge of approximately $54 billion to reduce the carrying value of its
goodwill. Such charge is non-operational in nature and is reflected as a cumulative effect of an accounting change in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. For additional discussion on the impact of adopting FAS 142, see Note 3.
Impact of Significant Acquisitions
AOL Time Warners results for 2002 have been impacted by the following acquisitions that cause them not to be comparable to the results reported in 2001.
|
|
Consolidation of AOL Europe, S.A. (AOL Europe). On January 31, 2002, AOL Time Warner acquired 80% of Bertelsmann AGs
(Bertelsmann) 49.5% interest in AOL Europe for $5.3 billion in cash and committed to acquire the remaining 20% of Bertelsmanns interest for $1.45 billion in cash in July 2002 (Note 5). As a result of the purchase of
Bertelsmanns interest in AOL Europe, AOL Time Warner has a majority interest in and began consolidating AOL Europe beginning in 2002. |
|
|
Consolidation of IPC Group Limited (IPC). In October 2001, AOL Time Warners Publishing segment acquired IPC, the parent company of IPC
Media, from Cinven, one of Europes leading private equity firms, for approximately $1.6 billion. |
|
|
Consolidation of Road Runner. In August 2002, AOL Time Warners Cable segment acquired Advance/Newhouses 17% indirect ownership in Road
Runner, increasing the Companys fully attributed ownership to approximately 82%. As a result of the termination of Advance/Newhouses minority rights in Road Runner, AOL Time Warner has consolidated the financial position and results of
operations of Road Runner with the financial position and results of operations of AOL Time Warners Cable segment. As permitted under generally accepted accounting principles, the Company has consolidated the results of Road Runner retroactive
to the beginning of the 2002. |
If the consolidation of AOL Europe, IPC and Road Runner had
occurred on January 1, 2001, for the three months ended March 31, 2001, the Companys consolidated revenues would have increased by $342 million to
25

$9.172 billion, operating loss would have increased by $269 million to $492 million, net loss would have increased by $251 million
to $1.620 billion, and net loss per share would have increased by $0.06 to $0.37.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior years financial information to conform to the
March 31, 2002 presentation.
2. MERGER AND RESTRUCTURING COSTS
Merger Costs
In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, AOL Time Warner generally treats merger costs relating to business combinations accounted for using the purchase method of accounting as additional purchase price paid.
However, certain merger costs do not meet the criteria for capitalization and are expensed as incurred. Certain merger costs were expensed as incurred as they either related to the operations of the acquirer, including the AOL operations with
respect to the Merger, or otherwise did not qualify as a liability or cost assumed in a purchase business combination, including AOL Time Warners acquisition of Time Warner. Merger costs both capitalized and expensed are discussed in more
detail in the following paragraphs.
Merger Costs Capitalized as a Cost of Acquisition
In connection with the Merger, the Company has reviewed its operations and implemented several plans to restructure the operations of
America Online and Time Warner (restructuring plans). As part of the restructuring plans, the Company accrued a restructuring liability of approximately $1.340 billion during 2001. The restructuring accruals relate to costs to exit and
consolidate certain activities of Time Warner, as well as costs to terminate employees across various Time Warner business units. Such amounts were recognized as liabilities assumed in the purchase business combination and included in the allocation
of the cost to acquire Time Warner. Accordingly, such amounts resulted in additional goodwill being recorded in connection with the Merger.
Of the total restructuring accrual, approximately $880 million related to work force reductions and represented employee termination benefits and relocation costs. Employee termination costs occurred
across most Time Warner business units and ranged from senior executives to line personnel. The total number of employees initially identified to be involuntarily terminated or relocated approximated 8,200. As of March 31, 2002, approximately 5,700
of the terminations and relocations had occurred. The remaining 2,500 terminations and relocations are anticipated to occur during the remainder of 2002 or are no longer expected to occur. Because certain employees can defer receipt of termination
benefits for up to 24 months, cash payments are continuing after the employee was terminated. Termination payments of approximately $300 million were made in 2001 ($40 million of which was paid in the first quarter) and an additional $104 million
was paid in the first quarter of 2002. In addition, there were noncash reductions in the restructuring accrual of approximately $16 million, as actual termination payments were less than amounts originally estimated. As of March 31, 2002, the
remaining liability of approximately $460 million was primarily classified as a current liability in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.
26
AOL TIME WARNER INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
(Unaudited)
The restructuring accrual also includes approximately $460 million
associated with exiting certain activities, primarily related to lease and contract termination costs. Specifically, the Company plans to consolidate certain operations and has exited other under-performing operations, including the Studio Store
operations of the Filmed Entertainment segment and the World Championship Wrestling operations of the Networks segment. The restructuring accrual associated with other exiting activities specifically includes incremental costs and contractual
termination obligations for items such as lease termination payments and other facility exit costs incurred as a direct result of these plans, which will not have future benefits. Payments related to exiting activities were approximately $165
million in 2001 ($20 million of which was paid in the first quarter) and an additional $36 million was paid in the first quarter of 2002. As of March 31, 2002, the remaining liability of approximately $259 million was primarily classified as a
current liability in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

Merger Costs Expensed as Incurred
During 2001, the restructuring plans also included approximately $250 million, which was expensed in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and is included in merger and restructuring costs in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. Of the $250 million, approximately $153 million related to employee
termination benefits and $97 million related to other exit costs. The other exit costs relate to contractual terminations for various leases and contractual commitments relating to terminated projects, including the termination of the iPlanet
alliance with Sun Microsystems Inc. The number of employees expected to be terminated at the AOL segment was 2,430. As of March 31, 2002, approximately 2,300 of the terminations had occurred. The severed employees spanned all major departments and
divisions in the AOL segment, including Technology, Digital City, MapQuest, AOL Brand, Member Services, Interactive Marketing, Compuserve, Business Affairs, AIM/ICQ, Wireless Strategy, Spinner, Acquisition Marketing, iPlanet, Technology &
Systems Development, AOL Products, Interactive Properties and Netscape. These Merger-related costs were expensed as they either related to the AOL operations or otherwise did not qualify as a liability or cost assumed in the purchase of Time Warner.

Restructuring Costs
During the first quarter of 2002, the Company has incurred and accrued other restructuring costs of $107 million related to various contractual terminations and
obligations, including certain contractual employee termination benefits. No amounts have been paid against these accruals as of March 31, 2002. As such, the entire amount is primarily classified as a current liability in the accompanying
consolidated balance sheet. These costs are included in merger and restructuring costs in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.
Included in the 2002 restructuring charge is $64 million related to lease obligations of the AOL segment for network modems that will no longer be used as network providers upgrade their networks to
newer technology. Specifically, under certain existing agreements with network providers, AOL is leasing the modems used in providing network services from third-parties. During the first quarter of 2002, a plan was established under which a network
provider would upgrade and replace the AOL supplied modems. Accordingly, the Company accrued the remaining lease obligations, less estimated recoveries, for the period that these modems will no longer be in use. The remaining $43 million of
restructuring costs recorded during the three-month period ended March 31, 2002, relates to certain contractual employee termination benefits. A liability related to contractual employee termination benefits is recognized when it becomes probable
that the employee will be entitled to the benefits and such benefits can be reasonably estimated.
In addition to
the lease costs referred to above, there is one remaining network arrangement that continues to use AOL supplied modems, in which AOL has a remaining modem lease obligation of $70 million. AOL is currently in discussions with the network provider
regarding the use of AOL supplied modems. If the network provider of this remaining network arrangement should similarly decide to replace the AOL modems, the Company could be required to recognize an additional restructuring charge in subsequent
periods for the portion of the remaining lease obligation, less estimated recoveries, related to the period the AOL modems would not be in use.

3. GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS
As discussed in Note 1, in January 2002, AOL Time Warner adopted FAS 142, which requires companies to stop amortizing goodwill and certain
intangible assets with an indefinite useful life. Instead, FAS 142 requires that goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have an indefinite useful life be reviewed for impairment upon adoption of FAS 142 (January 1, 2002) and annually thereafter.
The Company will perform its annual impairment review during the fourth quarter of each year, commencing in the fourth quarter of 2002.
Under FAS 142, goodwill impairment is deemed to exist if the net book value of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value. Other than the allocation of premium goodwill, which is discussed below, the net book value of
each of the Companys segments was generally based upon specific identification. The Companys reporting units are generally consistent with the operating segments underlying the segments identified in Note 10 Segment Information.
This methodology differs from AOL Time Warners previous policy, as permitted under accounting standards existing at that time, of using undiscounted cash flows on an enterprise-wide basis to determine if goodwill is recoverable.
Upon adoption of FAS 142 in the first quarter of 2002, AOL Time Warner recorded a noncash charge of approximately $54 billion
to reduce the carrying value of its goodwill. Such charge is nonoperational in nature and is reflected as a cumulative effect of an accounting change in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. In calculating the impairment charge, the
fair value of the impaired reporting units underlying the segments were estimated using either a discounted cash flow methodology, recent comparable transactions or a combination thereof.
The FAS 142 goodwill impairment is associated solely with goodwill resulting from the Merger. The amount of the impairment primarily reflects the decline in the
Companys stock price since the Merger was announced and valued for accounting purposes in January of 2000. Prior to performing the review for impairment, FAS 142 required that all goodwill deemed to be related to the entity as a whole be
assigned to all of the Companys reporting units, including the reporting units of the acquirer. This differs from the previous accounting rules where goodwill was assigned only to the businesses of the company acquired. As a result, a portion
of the goodwill generated in the Merger has been reallocated to the AOL segment.
The amount of goodwill allocated
to the AOL segment related entirely to goodwill resulting from the Merger. Overall goodwill resulting from the Merger was calculated based upon a purchase price of approximately $147 billion, including transaction costs. In accordance with EITF
99-12, Determination of the Measurement Date for the Market Price of Acquirer Securities Issued in a Purchase Business Combination, the purchase price was determined using the fair value of the AOL Time Warner securities issued to
acquire Time Warner at the time of the announcement of the Merger in January 2000. The fair value of these securities was significantly higher than the fair value of the Time Warner business acquired in January 2001, when the transaction closed and
the Company allocated the purchase price to the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired. As noted above, in accordance with the accounting rules in place at that time, this excess, or premium goodwill, was initially allocated
only to the Time Warner segments mostly based upon their relative fair values. Upon the adoption of FAS 142, the premium goodwill was reallocated to all of the segments of AOL Time Warner (including the AOL segment) based upon relative fair values.

4. INVESTMENTS
Investment Write-Downs
The Companys investments are comprised of fair value investments, including available-for-sale investments accounted for using the cost method of accounting and investments accounted for using the equity method of accounting. A
judgmental aspect of accounting for investments involves determining whether an investment has sustained an other-than-temporary decline in its value, the investment is written down to its fair value, by a charge to earnings. Such evaluation is
dependent on the specific facts and circumstances. Factors that are considered by the Company in determining whether an other-than-temporary decline in value has occurred include: the market value of the security in relation to its cost basis; the
financial condition of the investee; and the intent and ability to retain the investment for a sufficient period of time to allow for recovery in the market value of the investment.
31
AOL TIME WARNER INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
(Unaudited)
In evaluating the factors above for available-for-sale securities,
management presumes a decline in value to be other-than-temporary if the quoted market price of the security is 20% or more below the investments cost basis for a period of six months or more (the 20% criteria) or the quoted market
price of the security is 50% or more below the securitys cost basis at any quarter end (the 50% criteria). However, the presumption of an other-than-temporary decline in these instances may be overcome if there is persuasive
evidence indicating that the decline is temporary in nature (e.g., strong operating performance of investee, historical volatility of investee, etc.). Additionally, there may be instances where impairment losses are recognized even if the 20% and
50% criteria are not satisfied (e.g., plan to sell the security in the near term and the fair value is below the Companys cost basis).
For investments accounted for using the cost or equity method of accounting, management evaluates information (e.g., budgets, business plans, financial statements, etc.) in addition to quoted market
price, if any, in determining whether an other-than-temporary decline in value exists. Factors indicative of an other-than-temporary decline include recurring operating losses, credit defaults and subsequent rounds of financings at an amount below
the cost basis of an investment. This list is not all inclusive and management weighs all quantitative factors in determining if an other-than-temporary decline in value of an investment has occurred.
The United States economy has experienced a broad decline in the public equity markets, particularly in technology stocks, including
investments held in the Companys portfolio. Similarly, the Company experienced significant declines in the value of certain privately held investments, restricted securities and investments accounted for using the equity method of accounting.
As a result, the Company recorded noncash pretax charges to reduce the carrying value of certain investments that experienced other-than-temporary declines of approximately $581 million in the first quarter of 2002, including $9 million of gains
relating to equity derivative instrument and, $620 million in the first quarter of 2001, none of which related to equity derivative instruments, which are included in other expense, net, in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.
Included in the 2002 charge is a charge of approximately $571 million to reduce AOL Time Warners investment
in Time Warner Telecom Inc. (Time Warner Telecom) for a decline deemed to be other than temporary. Time Warner Telecom is a leading fiber facilities-based provider of metropolitan and regional optical broadband networks and services to
business customers. The value of the Time Warner Telecom investment was adjusted upward in the Merger by over $2 billion to its estimated fair value. Since the date of the Merger, Time Warner Telecoms share price has declined significantly,
resulting in impairment charges of approximately $1.2 billion in the fourth quarter of 2001 and approximately $571 million in the first quarter of 2002.
Management determined that the decline in fair value of its investment in Time Warner Telecom as of March 31, 2002 was other-than-temporary in accordance with its policy. Since the fair value of the
investment was 50% below the cost basis as of the end of the quarter and no qualitative factors indicated that the decline was temporary, the Company concluded that impairment had occurred.
Since March 31, 2002, there has been a further decline in the fair value of AOL Time Warners investment in Time Warner Telecom. As a result, as of May 2, 2002, the
fair value of AOL Time Warners investment in Time Warner Telecom has declined by approximately $159 million, representing a further decline from the Merger-adjusted value noted above. Consistent with its policy, management will continually
evaluate whether such a decline in fair value should be considered to be other-than-temporary. Depending on the future performance of Time Warner Telecom, the Company may be required to record an additional significant noncash charge to write down
its
32
AOL TIME WARNER INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
(Unaudited)
investment to fair value due to a decline that is deemed to be other-than-temporary. Any such additional charge would be unrelated
to the Companys core operations and would be recorded in other income (expense), net.
As of March 31, 2002,
Time Warner Telecom was owned 44% by AOL Time Warner, 14% by the Advance/Newhouse minority partners to TWE-A/N and 42% by other third parties. AOL Time Warners interest in Time Warner Telecom is being accounted for using the equity method of
accounting. For the three months ended March 31, 2002, Time Warner Telecom had revenues, operating loss and net loss of $168 million, $19 million and $43 million, respectively.
AOL Latin America Convertible Debt
America Online Latin
America, Inc. (AOL Latin America) is a joint venture among AOL Time Warner, the Cisneros Group and Banco Itau (a leading Brazilian bank) that provides online services and support principally to customers in Brazil, Mexico and Argentina.
In August 2000, AOL Latin America successfully completed an initial public offering of approximately 25 million shares of its Class A common stock, representing approximately 10% of the ownership interest in AOL Latin America at the time of the
offering.
In March 2002, AOL Time Warner announced that it will make available to AOL Latin America up to $160
million throughout 2002 to fund the operations of AOL Latin America. In exchange for this investment, AOL Time Warner will receive senior convertible notes. Each note will carry a fixed interest rate of 11% per annum (payable quarterly), will have a
five-year maturity and will be convertible into AOL Latin America convertible preferred stock, which is convertible into Class A common stock of AOL Latin America at a conversion price of 20% above the then current market price at the time of
investment. AOL Latin America has the option to redeem the notes after 18 months and the option to make interest payments in either cash or additional shares of convertible preferred stock. As of March 31, 2002, AOL Time Warner had provided AOL
Latin America approximately $17 million of this committed amount with a conversion price of $3.624 per share.
5. AOL EUROPE
AOL Europe S.A. (AOL Europe) was a joint
venture between AOL Time Warner and Bertelsmann AG (Bertelsmann). AOL Europe provides the AOL service and the CompuServe service in several European countries. In March 2000, America Online and Bertelsmann announced an agreement to
restructure their interests in AOL Europe. This restructuring consisted of a put and call arrangement under which the Company could purchase or be required to purchase Bertelsmanns 49.5% interest in AOL Europe for consideration ranging from
$6.75 billion to $8.25 billion.
On January 31, 2002, AOL Time Warner acquired 80% of Bertelsmanns 49.5%
interest in AOL Europe for $5.3 billion in cash, as a result of Bertelsmanns exercise of its initial put option. AOL Time Warner has committed to acquire the remaining 20% of Bertelsmanns interest for $1.45 billion in cash in July 2002.
As a result of the purchase of 80% of Bertelsmanns interest in AOL Europe, AOL Time Warner has a majority interest and began consolidating AOL Europe, retroactive to the beginning of 2002, including the approximate $573 million of debt on AOL
Europes balance sheet. This debt was subsequently refinanced with AOL Time Warner debt, carrying lower interest rates. Additionally, in February 2002, certain redeemable preferred securities previously issued by AOL Europe were redeemed for
$255 million. Previously, the Company owned a 49.5% preferred interest in AOL Europe and accounted for its investment in AOL Europe using the equity method of accounting.
33
AOL TIME WARNER INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
(Unaudited)
As of January 1, 2002, AOL Europe had total assets of approximately
$150 million, consisting principally of approximately $88 million in receivables and approximately $52 million in cash and equivalents. In addition, AOL Europe had approximately $2.0 billion of total liabilities, including approximately $573 million
of debt, approximately $415 million of other current liabilities and approximately $1.0 billion of redeemable preferred securities, including $255 million of redeemable preferred securities redeemed in February 2002. The assets and liabilities of
AOL Europe are included in the AOL segment. In connection with the allocation of the price paid by AOL Time Warner to acquire the additional interest in AOL Europe, the AOL segment recognized approximately $7.0 billion of goodwill and approximately
$215 million of subscriber lists, which will be amortized over a useful life of 5 years with no residual value. The allocation of the purchase price is preliminary because the Company has yet to complete its valuation process for these intangible
assets.
6. INVESTMENT IN TWE
TWE is a Delaware limited partnership that was capitalized in 1992 to own and operate substantially all of the Filmed Entertainment-Warner Bros., Networks-HBO and The WB
Network, and Cable businesses previously owned by subsidiaries of AOL Time Warner. AOL 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 AT&T. Certain AOL Time Warner subsidiaries are the general partners
of TWE (the General Partners).
In addition to its existing interest in TWE, AT&T has an option to
obtain up to an additional 6.33% of Series A Capital and Residual Capital interests. The determination of the amount of additional interests that AT&T is eligible to acquire is based on the compounded annual growth rate of TWEs adjusted
Cable EBITDA, as defined in the option agreement, over the life of the option. The option is exercisable at any time through 2005. The option exercise price is dependent upon the year of exercise and, assuming the full amount of the option is
vested, ranges from an exercise price of approximately $1.4 billion currently to $1.8 billion in 2005. Either AT&T or TWE may elect that the exercise price be paid with partnership interests rather than cash. AT&T initiated a process by
which an independent investment banking firm has determined the amount by which AT&T would increase its interest in TWE if it were to exercise the option and were to pay the exercise price with partnership interests rather than cash. On April
19, 2002, AT&T delivered to TWE a notice of the exercise of the option on a cashless basis effective May 31, 2002. The exercise of this option will increase AT&Ts interest by approximately 2.1%, to approximately 27.6% of the Series A
Capital and Residual Capital of TWE.
AT&T also has the right, during 60 day exercise periods occurring once
every 18 months to request that TWE incorporate and register its stock in an initial public offering. If AT&T exercises such right, TWE can decline to incorporate and register its stock, in which case AT&T may cause TWE to purchase AT&T
s interest at the price at which an appraiser believes such stock could be sold in an initial public offering, subject to certain adjustments. In February 2001, AT&T delivered to TWE a notice requesting that TWE reconstitute itself as a
corporation and register AT&Ts partnership interests for public sale. The parties are in discussions regarding this registration rights process. The Company cannot at this time predict the outcome or effect, if any, of these discussions.
34
AOL TIME WARNER INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
(Unaudited)
The TWE partnership agreement provides for special allocations of
income, loss and distributions of partnership capital, including priority distributions in the event of liquidation. As a result of the Merger, a portion of the $147 billion cost to acquire Time Warner was allocated to the underlying net assets of
TWE, to the extent acquired. TWE reported net income of $380 million, excluding a $22 billion noncash charge related to the cumulative effect of an accounting change, in the first quarter of 2002 and a net loss of $350 million in the first quarter
of 2001. Because of the priority rights over allocations of income and distributions of TWE held by the General Partners, $362 million of TWEs income for the three months ended March 31, 2002 was allocated to AOL Time Warner and $18 million
was allocated to AT&T. For the three months ended March 31, 2001, $344 million of TWEs loss was allocated to AOL Time Warner and $6 million was allocated to AT&T.
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.

8. LONG-TERM DEBT
In January 2001, AOL Time Warner filed a shelf registration statement with the SEC, which allowed AOL Time Warner to offer and sell from time to time, debt securities,
preferred stock, series common stock, common stock and/or warrants to purchase debt and equity securities in amounts up to $10 billion in initial aggregate public offering prices. On April 19, 2001, AOL Time Warner issued an aggregate of $4 billion
principal amount of debt securities under this shelf registration statement at various fixed interest rates and maturities of 5, 10 and 30 years. On April 8, 2002, AOL Time Warner issued the remaining $6 billion principal amount of debt securities
under this shelf registration statement at various fixed interest rates and maturities of 3, 5, 10 and 30 years. The net proceeds to the Company were approximately $3.964 billion under the first issuance and approximately $5.930 billion under the
second issuance, both of which were used for general corporate purposes, including, but not limited to, the repayment of outstanding commercial paper and bank debt. The securities under both issuances are guaranteed on an unsecured basis by each of
America Online and Time Warner. In addition, Time Warner Companies, Inc. (TW Companies) and Turner Broadcasting System, Inc. (TBS) have guaranteed, on an unsecured basis, Time Warners guarantee of the securities.
9. MANDATORILY REDEEMABLE PREFERRED SECURITIES
AOL Europe has 725,000 shares of redeemable preferred securities outstanding with a liquidation preference of $725 million. Dividends are accreted at an annual rate of 6%
and the total accumulated dividends as of March 31, 2002 were approximately $44 million. These securities and related dividends are classified as minority

subsidiary that was the obligor on the Preferred Trust Securities were $592 million principal amount of 8 7/8%
subordinated debentures of TW Companies due December 31, 2025. Cumulative cash distributions were payable on the Preferred Trust Securities at an annual rate of 8 7/8%. The Preferred Trust Securities were mandatorily redeemable for cash on December 31, 2025, and TW Companies had the right to redeem the Preferred Trust Securities, in whole or
in part, on or after December 31, 2000, or in other certain circumstances.
On February 13, 2001, TW
Companies redeemed all 23 million shares of the Preferred Trust Securities. The redemption price was $25 per security, plus accrued and unpaid distributions thereon equal to $0.265 per security. The total redemption price of $581 million was funded
with borrowings under the Companys $7.5 billion revolving credit facility.
10. SEGMENT INFORMATION
AOL Time Warner classifies its business interests into six fundamental areas:AOL, consisting
principally of interactive services, Web properties, Internet technologies and electronic commerce services; Cable, consisting principally of interests in cable television systems; Filmed Entertainment, consisting principally of
interests in filmed entertainment and television production; Networks, consisting principally of interests in cable television and broadcast network programming; Music, consisting principally of interests in recorded music and music
publishing; and Publishing, consisting principally of interests in magazine publishing, book publishing and direct marketing.
Information as to the operations of AOL Time Warner in different business segments is set forth below based on the nature of the products and services offered. AOL Time Warner evaluates performance based on several factors,
of which the primary financial measure is operating income (loss) before noncash depreciation of tangible assets and amortization of intangible assets (EBITDA).
The accounting policies of the business segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies under Note 1 in the Companys 2001
Form 10-K/A. Intersegment sales are accounted for at fair value as if the sales were to third parties.

|
Revenues reflect the provisions of EITF 01-09 and Topic D-103 that were adopted by the Company in the first quarter of 2002, which require retroactive
restatement of 2001 to reflect the new accounting provisions. As a result, the net impact of EITF 01-09 and Topic D-103 was to increase revenues and costs by equal amounts of approximately $24 million for the first quarter of 2001.

As a result of Advance/Newhouse assuming responsibility for the day-to-day operations of the Advance/Newhouse Systems, the Cable segments results reflect
the deconsolidation of the operating results of the Advance/Newhouse Systems for all periods presented. For the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, the net impact of the deconsolidation of these systems is a reduction of the Cable
segments revenues of $352 million and $292 million, respectively. In addition, the Cable segments results reflect the consolidation of Road Runners operating results effective January 1, 2002. |
Intersegment Revenues
In the normal course of business, the AOL Time Warner segments enter into transactions with one another. The most common types of intercompany transactions include:
|
|
The Filmed Entertainment segment generating content revenue by licensing television and theatrical programming to the Networks segment;
|
|
|
The Networks segment generating subscription revenues by selling cable network programming to the Cable segment; and |
|
|
The AOL, Cable, Networks and Publishing segments generating advertising and commerce revenue by cross-promoting the products and services of all AOL Time Warner
segments. |
These intercompany transactions are recorded by each segment at fair value as if the
transactions were with third parties and, therefore, impact segment performance. While intercompany transactions are treated like third-party transactions to determine segment performance, the revenues (and corresponding expenses recognized by the
segment that is counterparty to the transaction) are eliminated in consolidation and, therefore, do not themselves impact consolidated results. Revenues recognized by AOL Time Warners segments on intercompany transactions are as follows:

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
(Unaudited)
As discussed in Note 3, when FAS 142 is initially applied, all
goodwill recognized on the Companys consolidated balance sheet on that date is reviewed for impairment using the new guidance. Before performing the review for impairment, the new guidance requires that all goodwill deemed to relate to the
entity as a whole be assigned to all of the Companys reporting units (generally, the AOL Time Warner operating segments), including the reporting units of the acquirer. This differs from the previous accounting rules, which required goodwill
to be assigned only to the businesses of the company acquired. As a result, a portion of the goodwill generated in the Merger was reallocated to the AOL segment resulting in a change in segment assets. Following are AOL Time Warners assets by
business segment, reflecting the reallocation of goodwill in accordance with FAS 142, as of March 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001:

11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
On January 22, 2002, Netscape, a wholly-owned subsidiary of America Online, sued Microsoft Corporation (Microsoft) in the
United States District Court for the District of Columbia for antitrust violations under Sections 1 and 2 of the Sherman Act, as well as for other common law violations. Among other things, the complaint alleges that Microsofts actions to
maintain its monopoly in the market for Intel-compatible personal computer operating systems worldwide injured Netscape, consumers and competition in violation of Section 2 of the Sherman Act and continues to do so. The complaint also alleges that
Microsofts actions constitute illegal monopolization and attempted monopolization of a worldwide market for Web browsers and that Microsoft has engaged in illegal practices by tying its Web browser, Internet Explorer, to Microsofts
operating system in various ways. The complaint seeks damages for the injuries inflicted upon Netscape, including treble damages and attorneys fees, as well as injunctive relief to remedy the anti-competitive behavior alleged. On March 29,
2002, Microsoft filed its answer to the complaint denying all claims and allegations. Due to the preliminary status of the matter, it is not possible for the Company at this time to provide a view on its probable outcome or to provide a reasonable
estimate as to the amount that might be recovered through this action.
America Online has been named as defendant
in several putative class action lawsuits brought by consumers and Internet service providers (ISP), alleging certain injuries to have been caused by installation of AOL versions 5.0 and 6.0 software. Subject to approval of the court,
the parties have entered into a confidential settlement agreement covering the consumer AOL version 5.0 installation claims on terms that are not material to the Companys financial condition or results of operations. The ISP claims on AOL
version 5.0 and the claims related to AOL version 6.0 remain pending. The remaining cases are in preliminary stages, but the Company believes that they
40

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)
(Unaudited)
are without merit and intends to defend them vigorously. The Company is unable, however, to predict the outcome of these cases, or
reasonably estimate a range of possible loss given their current status.
The Department of Labor has closed its
investigation into the applicability of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) to America Onlines Community Leader program without taking any action against the Company. However, putative classes of former and current Community Leader
volunteers have brought lawsuits in several states against America Online alleging violations of the FLSA and comparable state statutes on the basis that they were acting as employees rather than volunteers in serving as Community Leaders and are
entitled to wages. An additional putative class action lawsuit has been filed against the Company, America Online and AOL Community, Inc. alleging violations of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) on the basis that the
plaintiffs were acting as employees rather than volunteers and are entitled to pension, welfare or other employee benefits under ERISA. Although the Company does not believe that these lawsuits regarding Community Leader volunteers have any merit
and intends to defend against them vigorously, the Company is unable to predict the outcome of the cases, or reasonably estimate a range of possible loss due to the preliminary nature of the matters.
In Six Flags Over Georgia LLC et al. v. Time Warner Entertainment Company et al., following a trial in December 1998, the jury
returned a verdict for plaintiffs and against defendants, including TWE, on plaintiffs claims for breaches of fiduciary duty. The jury awarded plaintiffs approximately $197 million in compensatory damages and $257 million in punitive damages,
and interest began accruing on those amounts at the Georgia annual statutory rate of twelve percent. The Company paid the compensatory damages with accrued interest during the first quarter of 2001. Payment of the punitive damages portion of the
award with accrued interest was stayed by the United States Supreme Court on March 1, 2001 pending the disposition of a certiorari petition with that Court, which was filed by TWE on June 15, 2001. On October 1, 2001, the United States Supreme Court
granted TWEs petition, vacated the decision by the Georgia Court of Appeals affirming the punitive damages award, and remanded the matter to the Georgia Court of Appeals for further consideration. The Georgia Court of Appeals affirmed and
reinstated its earlier decision regarding the punitive damage award on March 29, 2002. On April 18, 2002, the defendants filed a petition for certiorari to the Georgia Supreme Court seeking review of the decision of the Georgia Court of Appeals and
a decision on whether the court will hear the appeal is expected later in 2002.
On April 8, 2002, three former
employees of certain subsidiaries of the Company filed Henry Spann et al. v. AOL Time Warner Inc. et al., a purported class action, in the United States District Court for the Central District of California. Plaintiffs have named as
defendants, among others, the Company, Time Warner Entertainment Company, L.P., Warner-Elektra-Atlantic Corporation, WEA Manufacturing Inc., Warner Bros. Records Inc., Atlantic Recording Corporation, various pension plans sponsored by the companies
and the administrative committees of those plans. Plaintiffs allege that defendants miscalculated the proper amount of pension benefits owed to them and other class members as required under the plans in violation of ERISA. Due to its preliminary
status, the Company is unable to predict the outcome of the case or reasonably estimate a range of possible loss.
The Company is subject to a number of state and federal class action lawsuits, as well as an action brought by a number of state Attorneys General alleging unlawful horizontal and vertical agreements to fix the prices of compact
discs by the major record companies. Although the Company cannot predict the outcomes, the Company does not expect that the ultimate outcomes of these cases will have a material adverse impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements
or results of operations.
The costs and other effects of pending or future litigation, governmental
investigations, legal and
41

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 Companys
business, financial condition and operating results.
