TKCCP Joint Venture
Texas and Kansas City Cable Partners, L.P. (“TKCCP”) was a 50-50 joint venture between a consolidated
subsidiary of TWC (TWE-A/N) and Comcast. On January 1, 2007, TKCCP distributed its assets to its partners.
TWC received certain cable assets located in Kansas City, south and west Texas and New Mexico (the “Kansas City
Pool”), which served approximately 788,000 basic video subscribers as of December 31, 2006, and Comcast
received the pool of assets consisting of the Houston cable systems (the “Houston Pool”), which served approx-
imately 795,000 basic video subscribers as of December 31, 2006. TWC began consolidating the results of the
Kansas City Pool on January 1, 2007. TKCCP was formally dissolved on May 15, 2007. For accounting purposes,
TWC treated the distribution of TKCCP’s assets as a sale of TWC’s 50% equity interest in the Houston Pool and as
an acquisition of Comcast’s 50% equity interest in the Kansas City Pool. As a result of the sale of TWC’s 50%
equity interest in the Houston Pool, TWC recorded a pretax gain of $146 million in the first quarter of 2007, which is
included as a component of other income, net, in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended
December 31, 2007.
