Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward Looking Statements

This presentation includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
quot;Securities Actquot;) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the quot;Exchange Actquot;), regarding, among other
things, our plans, strategies and prospects, both business and financial. Charter will not undertake to revise forward-looking projections
to reflect events after this date. Although we believe that our plans, intentions and expectations reflected in or suggested by these
forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot assure you that we will achieve or realize these plans, intentions or expectations.
Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Many of the forward-looking statements
contained in this presentation may be identified by the use of forward-looking words such as quot;believe,quot; quot;expect,quot; quot;anticipate,quot; quot;should,quot;
quot;planned,quot; quot;will,quot; quot;may,quot; quot;intend,quot; quot;estimated,quot; quot;aim,quot; quot;on track,quot; quot;target,quot; quot;opportunityquot; and quot;potential,quot; among others. Important factors
that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements we make in this presentation are set forth in
reports or documents that we file from time to time with the SEC, and include, but are not limited to:
      –the availability, in general, of funds to meet interest payment obligations under our debt and to fund our operations and necessary
      capital expenditures, either through cash flows from operating activities, further borrowings or other sources and, in particular, our
      ability to be able to provide under the applicable debt instruments such funds (by dividend, investment or otherwise) to the
      applicable obligor of such debt;
      –our ability to comply with all covenants in our indentures and credit facilities, any violation of which could trigger a default of our
      other obligations under cross-default provisions;
      –our ability to pay or refinance debt prior to or when it becomes due and/or refinance that debt through new issuances, exchange
      offers or otherwise, including restructuring our balance sheet and leverage position;
      –competition from other distributors, including incumbent telephone companies, direct broadcast satellite operators, wireless
      broadband providers and DSL providers;
      –difficulties in introducing and operating our telephone services, such as our ability to adequately meet customer expectations for
      the reliability of voice services, and our ability to adequately meet demand for installations and customer service;
      –our ability to sustain and grow revenues and cash flows from operating activities by offering video, high-speed Internet, telephone
      and other services and to maintain and grow our customer base, particularly in the face of increasingly aggressive competition;
      –our ability to obtain programming at reasonable prices or to adequately raise prices to offset the effects of higher programming
      costs;
      –general business conditions, economic uncertainty or slowdown; and
      –the effects of governmental regulation, including but not limited to local franchise authorities, on our business.
All forward-looking statements attributable to us or any person acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by this
cautionary statement. We are under no duty or obligation to update any of the forward-looking statements after the date of this
presentation.

     Unless otherwise stated, all results are pro forma which reflect the acquisition of cable systems in
     January 2006 and the sales of systems in 2006 and 2007 as if such transactions had occurred as of
     January 1, 2006.
1.   Adjusted EBITDA and pro forma adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures and should be
     considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, net cash flows from operating activities reported in
     accordance with GAAP. These terms, as defined by Charter, may not be comparable to similarly titled
     measures used by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as income from operations before special
     charges, depreciation and amortization, loss on sale or retirement of assets, asset impairment charges, and
     stock compensation expense. As such, it eliminates the significant non-cash depreciation and amortization
     expense that results from the capital-intensive nature of the Company’s businesses as well as other non-cash
     or non-recurring items, and is unaffected by the Company’s capital structure or investment activities.
     Adjusted EBITDA and pro forma adjusted EBITDA are liquidity measures used by Company management
     and its Board of Directors to measure the Company’s ability to fund operations and its financing obligations.
     For this reason, it is a significant component of Charter’s annual incentive compensation program. However,
     this measure is limited in that it does not reflect the periodic costs of certain capitalized tangible and intangible
     assets used in generating revenues and the cash cost of financing for the Company. Company management
     evaluates these costs through other financial measures.
     The Company believes that adjusted EBITDA and pro forma adjusted EBITDA provide information useful to
     investors in assessing Charter’s ability to service its debt, fund operations, and make additional investments
     with internally generated funds. In addition, adjusted EBITDA generally correlates to the leverage ratio
     calculation under the Company’s credit facilities or outstanding notes to determine compliance with the
     covenants contained in the facilities and notes (all such documents have been previously filed with the SEC).
     For a reconciliation of pro forma adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable
     GAAP financial measure see the Appendix.


2.   The maturity schedule reflects all maturities through 2012 and includes revolver maturity in 2012, term loan
     amortization, and bond and convertible note maturities. The remaining $16.4 billion face amount of debt
     matures in 2013 and beyond.

  • 1. Charter Communications Earnings Call Presentation May 3, 2007
  • 2. Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward Looking Statements This presentation includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the quot;Securities Actquot;) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the quot;Exchange Actquot;), regarding, among other things, our plans, strategies and prospects, both business and financial. Charter will not undertake to revise forward-looking projections to reflect events after this date. Although we believe that our plans, intentions and expectations reflected in or suggested by these forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot assure you that we will achieve or realize these plans, intentions or expectations. Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Many of the forward-looking statements contained in this presentation may be identified by the use of forward-looking words such as quot;believe,quot; quot;expect,quot; quot;anticipate,quot; quot;should,quot; quot;planned,quot; quot;will,quot; quot;may,quot; quot;intend,quot; quot;estimated,quot; quot;aim,quot; quot;on track,quot; quot;target,quot; quot;opportunityquot; and quot;potential,quot; among others. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements we make in this presentation are set forth in reports or documents that we file from time to time with the SEC, and include, but are not limited to: –the availability, in general, of funds to meet interest payment obligations under our debt and to fund our operations and necessary capital expenditures, either through cash flows from operating activities, further borrowings or other sources and, in particular, our ability to be able to provide under the applicable debt instruments such funds (by dividend, investment or otherwise) to the applicable obligor of such debt; –our ability to comply with all covenants in our indentures and credit facilities, any violation of which could trigger a default of our other obligations under cross-default provisions; –our ability to pay or refinance debt prior to or when it becomes due and/or refinance that debt through new issuances, exchange offers or otherwise, including restructuring our balance sheet and leverage position; –competition from other distributors, including incumbent telephone companies, direct broadcast satellite operators, wireless broadband providers and DSL providers; –difficulties in introducing and operating our telephone services, such as our ability to adequately meet customer expectations for the reliability of voice services, and our ability to adequately meet demand for installations and customer service; –our ability to sustain and grow revenues and cash flows from operating activities by offering video, high-speed Internet, telephone and other services and to maintain and grow our customer base, particularly in the face of increasingly aggressive competition; –our ability to obtain programming at reasonable prices or to adequately raise prices to offset the effects of higher programming costs; –general business conditions, economic uncertainty or slowdown; and –the effects of governmental regulation, including but not limited to local franchise authorities, on our business. All forward-looking statements attributable to us or any person acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. We are under no duty or obligation to update any of the forward-looking statements after the date of this presentation. Unless otherwise stated, all results are pro forma which reflect the acquisition of cable systems in January 2006 and the sales 2 of certain systems in 2006 and 2007 as if such transactions had occurred as of January 1, 2006.

Footnotes Unless otherwise stated, all results are pro forma which reflect the acquisition of cable systems in January 2006 and the sales of systems in 2006 and 2007 as if such transactions had occurred as of January 1, 2006. 1. Adjusted EBITDA and pro forma adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures and should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, net cash flows from operating activities reported in accordance with GAAP. These terms, as defined by Charter, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as income from operations before special charges, depreciation and amortization, loss on sale or retirement of assets, asset impairment charges, and stock compensation expense. As such, it eliminates the significant non-cash depreciation and amortization expense that results from the capital-intensive nature of the Company’s businesses as well as other non-cash or non-recurring items, and is unaffected by the Company’s capital structure or investment activities. Adjusted EBITDA and pro forma adjusted EBITDA are liquidity measures used by Company management and its Board of Directors to measure the Company’s ability to fund operations and its financing obligations. For this reason, it is a significant component of Charter’s annual incentive compensation program. However, this measure is limited in that it does not reflect the periodic costs of certain capitalized tangible and intangible assets used in generating revenues and the cash cost of financing for the Company. Company management evaluates these costs through other financial measures. The Company believes that adjusted EBITDA and pro forma adjusted EBITDA provide information useful to investors in assessing Charter’s ability to service its debt, fund operations, and make additional investments with internally generated funds. In addition, adjusted EBITDA generally correlates to the leverage ratio calculation under the Company’s credit facilities or outstanding notes to determine compliance with the covenants contained in the facilities and notes (all such documents have been previously filed with the SEC). For a reconciliation of pro forma adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure see the Appendix. 2. The maturity schedule reflects all maturities through 2012 and includes revolver maturity in 2012, term loan amortization, and bond and convertible note maturities. The remaining $16.4 billion face amount of debt matures in 2013 and beyond.
