Changes in internal control over financial reporting
As a result of NBCUniversal’s acquisition of Universal Studios Japan on November 13, 2015, our internal
control over financial reporting, subsequent to the date of acquisition, includes certain additional internal
controls relating to Universal Studios Japan. Except as described above, there were no changes in Com-
cast’s internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by
paragraph (d) of Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that have
materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Comcast’s internal control over financial report-
ing.
