TIME WARNER INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)
5. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
A fair value measurement is determined based on the assumptions that a market participant would use in
pricing an asset or liability. A three-tiered hierarchy draws distinctions between market participant assumptions
based on (i) observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets (Level 1), (ii) inputs other than quoted
prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly (Level 2) and (iii) unobservable inputs
that require the Company to use present value and other valuation techniques in the determination of fair value
(Level 3). The following table presents information about assets and liabilities required to be carried at fair value
on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively (millions):

(a) Consists of investments related to deferred compensation.
The Company primarily applies the market approach for valuing recurring fair value measurements. As of
December 31, 2012 and 2011, assets and liabilities valued using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3)
primarily consist of an asset related to equity instruments held by employees of a former subsidiary of the
Company, liabilities for contingent consideration and options to redeem securities.
