Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate fair value of each class of financial
instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value:
Credit Facility Debt, Collateralized Indebtedness, and Senior Notes and Debentures
The fair values of each of the Company's debt instruments are based on quoted market prices for the same
or similar issues or on the current rates offered to the Company for instruments of the same remaining
maturities.
The carrying values and estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments, excluding those
that are carried at fair value in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, are summarized as follows:

______________
(a) These notes are eliminated at the consolidated Cablevision level.
(b) The carrying value of the Company's credit facility debt, the substantial portion of which bears interest at variable
rates approximates its fair value.
Fair value estimates related to the Company's debt instruments and senior notes receivable presented
above are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about
the financial instrument. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of
significant judgments and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could
significantly affect the estimates.
