Item 5. Other Events.
Time Warner Inc. ("Time Warner") and Time Warner Entertainment Company,
L.P. ("TWE"), a partnership in which Time Warner and certain of its wholly-owned
subsidiaries own general and limited partnership interests in 74.49% of the pro
rata priority capital ("Series A Capital") and residual equity capital
("Residual Capital") of TWE and 100% of the senior priority capital ("Senior
Capital") and junior priority capital ("Series B Capital") of TWE, have
completed, or have entered into, the transactions described below:
(i) on February 1, 1996, Time Warner redeemed the remaining
$1.2 billion principal amount of 8.75% Convertible Subordinated
Debentures due 2015 (the "8.75% Convertible Debentures") for $1.28
billion, including redemption premiums and accrued interest thereon
(the "February 1996 Redemption"). In addition, in September 1995, Time
Warner redeemed approximately $1 billion principal amount of 8.75%
Convertible Debentures for $1.06 billion, including redemption premiums
and accrued interest thereon (the "September 1995 Redemption"). The
September 1995 Redemption was financed with (1) approximately $500
million of proceeds raised in June 1995 from the issuance of 7.75%
notes due 2005 (the "7.75% Notes"), (2) $363 million of net proceeds
raised in August 1995 from the issuance of approximately 12.1 million
Time Warner-obligated mandatorily redeemable preferred securities of a
subsidiary ("PERCS") that are redeemable for cash or, at Time Warner's
option, approximately 12.1 million shares of Hasbro, Inc. common stock
owned by Time Warner and that pay cash distributions at a rate of 4%
per annum and (3) available cash and equivalents (the "1995 Convertible
Debt Refinancing"). The February 1996 Redemption was financed with (1)
$557 million of net proceeds raised in December 1995 from the issuance
of Time Warner-obligated mandatorily redeemable preferred securities of
a subsidiary ("Preferred Trust Securities") that pay cash distributions
at a rate of 8-7/8% per annum and (2) proceeds raised from the $750
million issuance of debentures in January 1996, consisting of (i) $400
million principal amount of 6.85% debentures due 2026, which are
redeemable at the option of the holders thereof in 2003, (ii) $200
million principal amount of 8.3% discount debentures due 2036, which do
not pay cash interest for the first twenty years, (iii) $166 million
principal amount of 7.48% debentures due 2008 and (iv) $150 million
principal amount of 8.05% debentures due 2016 (collectively referred to
herein as the "January 1996 Debentures"). The issuance of the Preferred
Trust Securities and the January 1996 Debentures, together with the
February 1996 Redemption are collectively referred to herein as the
"1996 Convertible Debt Refinancing". The 1995 Convertible Debt
Refinancing and the 1996 Convertible Debt Refinancing are collectively
referred to herein as the "Convertible Debt Refinancings";
(ii) on January 4, 1996 (as previously reported on the Form
8-K of Time Warner dated January 4, 1996), Time Warner completed its
acquisition of Cablevision Industries Corporation ("CVI") and certain
affiliated entities of CVI (the "Gerry Companies") (the "CVI
Acquisition"). CVI and the Gerry Companies owned cable television
systems serving approximately 1.3 million subscribers;
(iii) on October 2, 1995 and September 5, 1995 (as previously
reported on the Form 8-K of Time Warner dated August 31, 1995), Toshiba
Corporation ("Toshiba") and ITOCHU Corporation ("ITOCHU"),
respectively, each exchanged (1) their 5.61% pro rata equity interests
in TWE, (2) their 6.25% residual equity interests in TW Service Holding
I, L.P. and TW Service Holding II, L.P., each of which owned certain
assets related to the TWE businesses (the "Time Warner Service
Partnerships") and (3) their options to increase their interests in TWE
under certain circumstances for, in the case of ITOCHU, 8 million
shares of two series of new convertible preferred stock ("Series G
Preferred Stock" and "Series H Preferred Stock") of Time Warner and, in
the case of Toshiba, 7 million shares of new convertible preferred
stock of Time Warner ("Series I Preferred Stock") and $10 million in
cash (the "ITOCHU/Toshiba Transaction"). As a
-2-

<PAGE>
result of the ITOCHU/Toshiba Transaction, Time Warner and certain of
its wholly-owned subsidiaries collectively now own 74.49% of TWE's
Series A Capital and Residual Capital and 100% of TWE's Senior Capital
and Series B Capital. A subsidiary of U S WEST, Inc. ("U S WEST") owns
the remaining 25.51% of TWE's Series A Capital and Residual Capital;
(iv) on September 22, 1995 (as previously reported on the Form
8-K of Time Warner dated September 22, 1995), Time Warner announced
that it had entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger
Agreement") which, as amended, provides for the merger of each of Time
Warner and Turner Broadcasting System, Inc. ("TBS") with separate
subsidiaries of a holding company ("New Time Warner"), which will
combine, for financial reporting purposes, the consolidated net assets
and operating results of Time Warner and TBS (the "TBS Transaction").
In connection therewith, the issued and outstanding shares of each
class of the capital stock of Time Warner will be converted into shares
of a substantially identical class of capital stock of New Time Warner.
In addition, Time Warner has agreed to enter into certain agreements
and related transactions with certain shareholders of TBS, including R.
E. Turner and Liberty Media Corporation ("LMC"), an affiliate of
Tele-Communications, Inc. The Merger Agreement and certain related
agreements provide for the issuance by New Time Warner of approximately
172.8 million shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share (such
holding company stock, or, prior to the formation of such holding
company, the existing Time Warner common stock, being referred to
herein as the "Common Stock") (including 50.6 million shares of a
special class of non-redeemable Common Stock to be issued to LMC, the
"LMC Class Common Stock"), in exchange for the outstanding TBS capital
stock, the issuance of approximately 13 million stock options to
replace all outstanding TBS options and the assumption of TBS's
indebtedness (which approximated $2.5 billion at March 31, 1996). As
part of the TBS Transaction, LMC will receive an additional five
million shares of LMC Class Common Stock pursuant to a separate option
agreement (the "Option Agreement"), which, together with the 50.6
million shares received pursuant to the TBS Transaction, will be placed
in a voting trust or, in certain circumstances, exchanged for shares of
another special class of non-voting, non-redeemable common stock of New
Time Warner;
(v) on August 15, 1995, Time Warner redeemed all of its $1.8
billion principal amount of outstanding Redeemable Reset Notes due
August 15, 2002 (the "Reset Notes") in exchange for new securities (the
"Reset Notes Refinancing"), consisting of approximately $454 million
aggregate principal amount of Floating Rate Notes due 2000,
approximately $272 million aggregate principal amount of 7.975% Notes
due 2004, approximately $545 million aggregate principal amount of
8.11% Debentures due 2006, and approximately $545 million aggregate
principal amount of 8.18% Debentures due 2007 (collectively, the
"Exchange Securities");
(vi) on July 6, 1995 (as previously reported on the Form 8-K
of Time Warner dated July 6, 1995), Time Warner acquired KBLCOM
Incorporated ("KBLCOM") which owned cable television systems serving
approximately 700,000 subscribers and a 50% interest in Paragon
Communications ("Paragon"), which owned cable television systems
serving an additional 972,000 subscribers (the "KBLCOM Acquisition").
The other 50% interest in Paragon was already owned by TWE;
(vii) on June 30, 1995, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Time
Warner ("TWI Cable"), TWE and the TWE-Advance/Newhouse Partnership (as
defined below) executed a five-year revolving credit facility (the "New
Credit Agreement"). The New Credit Agreement enabled such entities to
refinance certain indebtedness assumed in the Acquisitions (as defined
below), to refinance TWE's indebtedness under a pre-existing bank
credit agreement and to finance the ongoing working capital, capital
expenditure and other
-3-

<PAGE>
corporate needs of each borrower (the "Bank Refinancing"). The
Convertible Debt Refinancings, the Reset Notes Refinancing and the
Bank Refinancing are referred to herein as the "Debt Refinancings";
(viii) on June 23, 1995, (A) Six Flags Entertainment
Corporation ("Six Flags") was recapitalized, (B) TWE sold 51% of its
interest in Six Flags to an investment group led by Boston Ventures and
(C) TWE granted certain licenses to Six Flags (collectively, the "Six
Flags Transaction");
(ix) on May 2, 1995, Time Warner acquired Summit
Communications Group, Inc. ("Summit"), which owned cable television
systems serving approximately 162,000 subscribers (the "Summit
Acquisition");
(x) on April 1, 1995 (as previously reported on the Form 8-K
of Time Warner dated April 1, 1995), TWE closed its transaction (the
"TWE-A/N Transaction") with the Advance/Newhouse Partnership
("Advance/Newhouse"), pursuant to which TWE and Advance/Newhouse formed
the Time Warner Entertainment-Advance/Newhouse Partnership, a New York
general partnership (the "TWE-Advance/Newhouse Partnership"), and to
which Advance/Newhouse and TWE contributed cable television systems (or
interests therein) serving approximately 4.5 million subscribers, as
well as certain foreign cable investments and certain programming
investments that included Advance/Newhouse's 10% interest in Primestar
Partners, L.P. TWE owns a two-thirds equity interest in the
TWE-Advance/Newhouse Partnership and is the managing partner and
Advance/Newhouse owns a one-third equity interest; and
(xi) during 1995, TWE entered into agreements to sell, or
announced its intention to sell, 17 of its unclustered cable television
systems serving approximately 180,000 subscribers, of which certain of
the transactions closed during 1995 and the remaining transactions,
which are not material, have closed or are expected to close in 1996
(the "Unclustered Cable Transactions").
The Unclustered Cable Transactions and the Six Flags Transaction are
referred to herein as the "Asset Sale Transactions"; the Summit Acquisition,
KBLCOM Acquisition and CVI Acquisition are referred to herein as the
"Acquisitions"; the Acquisitions and the TWE-A/N Transaction are referred to
herein as the "Cable Transactions" and the TBS Transaction, the ITOCHU/Toshiba
Transaction, the Asset Sale Transactions, the Cable Transactions and the Debt
Refinancings are referred to herein as the "Transactions".

Item 7. Financial Statements and Exhibits
(a) Pro Forma Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements
The following pro forma consolidated condensed balance sheet of Time
Warner at March 31, 1996 gives effect to the TBS Transaction as if it occurred
at such date. The following pro forma consolidated condensed statement of
operations of Time Warner for the three months ended March 31, 1996 gives effect
to the TBS Transaction and the 1996 Convertible Debt Refinancing in each case as
if the transactions occurred at the beginning of such period. The ITOCHU/Toshiba
Transaction, the Acquisitions, the 1995 Convertible Debt Refinancing, the Reset
Notes Refinancing, the Bank Refinancing, the TWE-A/N Transaction, the Asset Sale
Transactions and, with respect to the balance sheet only, the 1996 Convertible
Debt Refinancing, are already reflected in the historical financial statements
of Time Warner as of and for the three months ended March 31, 1996. The pro
forma consolidated condensed statement of operations of Time Warner for the year
ended December 31, 1995 gives effect to the TBS Transaction, the ITOCHU/Toshiba
Transaction, the Acquisitions, the Debt Refinancings, the Asset Sale
Transactions and the TWE-A/N Transaction, in each case as if the transactions
occurred at the beginning of such period.
The following pro forma consolidated condensed statement of operations
of the Time Warner Entertainment Group (the "Entertainment Group"), principally
consisting of TWE, for the year ended December 31, 1995 gives effect to the
TWE-A/N Transaction, the Debt Refinancings, the consolidation of Paragon and the
Asset Sale Transactions, in each case as if the transactions occurred at the
beginning of such period. Pro forma consolidated condensed financial statements
as of and for the three months ended March 31, 1996 have not been included
herein since all such transactions consummated by TWE are reflected, in all
material respects, in the historical financial statements of the Entertainment
Group as of and for the three months ended March 31, 1996.
The pro forma consolidated condensed financial statements should be
read in conjunction with the historical financial statements of Time Warner and
TWE, including the notes thereto, which are contained in the Time Warner
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and the
Time Warner Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995, as
well as the historical financial statements of (i) Vision Cable Division of
Vision Cable Communications Inc. and Subsidiaries and Newhouse Broadcasting
Cable Division of Newhouse Broadcasting Corporation and Subsidiaries (which
entities contributed substantially all of their assets to Advance/Newhouse prior
to the closing of the TWE-A/N Transaction), (ii) CVI, (iii) KBLCOM, (iv) Summit
and (v) TBS.
The pro forma consolidated condensed financial statements have been
derived from the historical financial statements of the respective entities as
of and for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and for the year ended December
31, 1995, except in the case of (1) the Newhouse Broadcasting Cable Division of
Newhouse Broadcasting Corporation and Subsidiaries, which entities have
different fiscal years and were contributed to the TWE-Advance/Newhouse
Partnership on April 1, 1995; consequently, such pro forma financial statements
have been derived from the unaudited combined financial statements of such
entities for the three months ended January 31, 1995, (2) the Vision Cable
Division of Vision Cable Communications Inc. and Subsidiaries which were
contributed to the TWE-Advance/Newhouse Partnership on April 1, 1995 and
consequently, such pro forma financial statements have been derived from the
unaudited combined financial statements of such entities for the three months
ended March 31, 1995 (which financial statements, in the case of (1) and (2)
have been previously filed in connection with Time Warner's Current Report on
Form 8-K dated May 30, 1995 and are incorporated herein by reference), (3)
Summit, which was acquired on May 2, 1995 and consequently, such pro forma
financial statements have been derived from the unaudited consolidated financial
statements for such entity for the four months ended May 2, 1995, (4) KBLCOM,
which was acquired on July 6, 1995 and consequently, such pro forma financial
statements have been derived from
-5-
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
the unaudited consolidated financial statements for such entity for the six
months ended June 30, 1995, which have been previously filed in connection with
Time Warner's Current Report on Form 8-K dated August 14, 1995 and are
incorporated herein by reference and (5) CVI, which was acquired on January 4,
1996 and consequently, such pro forma financial statements have been derived
from the audited consolidated financial statements for such entity for the year
ended December 31, 1995, which are incorporated herein by reference from its
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995. Historical
financial statements of TBS are incorporated herein by reference from its Annual
Report to Shareholders incorporated by reference into its Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995 and its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
for the quarterly period ended March 31, 1996.
The pro forma consolidated condensed financial statements are presented
for informational purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of the
financial position or operating results that would have occurred if the
Transactions had been consummated as of the dates indicated, nor are they
necessarily indicative of future financial conditions or operating results.
TBS Transaction
Pro forma adjustments for the TBS Transaction reflect (1) the issuance
of approximately 172.8 million shares of Common Stock, including 50.6 million
shares of LMC Class Common Stock to be issued to LMC, in exchange for the
outstanding TBS capital stock, (2) the issuance of an additional 5 million
shares of LMC Class Common Stock to be received by LMC in connection with the
Option Agreement, (3) the issuance of approximately 13 million stock options to
replace all outstanding TBS options and (4) the assumption or incurrence of
approximately $2.5 billion of indebtedness, including $268 million of
convertible debt securities. The convertible debt securities may be converted at
the option of the holders into an additional 7.4 million shares of TBS Class B
Common Stock prior to the consummation of the Merger. Should such conversion
occur, (1) New Time Warner's pro forma shareholders' equity at March 31, 1996
would be increased by approximately $225 million to reflect the issuance of
approximately 5.6 million additional shares of Common Stock, (2) New Time
Warner's pro forma indebtedness at March 31, 1996 would be reduced by $268
million and (3) New Time Warner's pro forma loss before extraordinary item and
loss before extraordinary item per common share for the three months ended March
31, 1996 and the year ended December 31, 1995 would be reduced by $3 million and
$.01 per common share and $11 million and $.03 per common share, respectively.
The TBS Transaction will be accounted for by the purchase method of
accounting for business combinations and, accordingly, the estimated cost to
acquire such assets will be allocated to the underlying net assets in proportion
to their respective fair values. The valuations and other studies which will
provide the basis for such an allocation have not been completed. As more fully
described in the notes to the pro forma consolidated condensed financial
statements, a preliminary allocation of the excess of cost over the book value
of the net assets to be acquired has been made to goodwill.
The TBS Transaction is subject to customary closing conditions,
including the approval of the shareholders of TBS and of Time Warner, all
necessary approvals of the Federal Communications Commission and appropriate
antitrust approvals. There can be no assurance that all these approvals can be
obtained or, in the case of governmental approvals, if obtained, will not be
conditioned upon changes to the terms of the Merger Agreement or the related
agreements. In addition, certain litigation is pending relating to the TBS
Transaction, including a lawsuit by U S WEST to enjoin the consummation of the
TBS Transaction.

ITOCHU/Toshiba Transaction
Pro forma adjustments for the ITOCHU/Toshiba Transaction reflect the
exchange by each of ITOCHU and Toshiba of (1) its 5.61% pro rata priority
capital and residual equity interests in TWE, (2) its 6.25% residual equity
interests in the Time Warner Service Partnerships and (3) its option to increase
its interests in TWE under certain circumstances, for an aggregate 15 million
shares of convertible preferred stock (Series G Preferred Stock, Series H
Preferred Stock and Series I Preferred Stock) and $10 million in cash. The
ITOCHU/Toshiba Transaction was accounted for by the purchase method of
accounting for business combinations and, accordingly, the cost to acquire each
of ITOCHU and Toshiba's respective interests in TWE and the Time Warner Service
Partnerships has been allocated to Time Warner's investment in the Entertainment
Group.
Each share of the Series G Preferred Stock, Series H Preferred Stock
and Series I Preferred Stock issued in connection with the ITOCHU/Toshiba
Transaction (i) is convertible, immediately with respect to the Series G
Preferred Stock and Series I Preferred Stock and after five years (or earlier
under certain circumstances) with respect to the Series H Preferred Stock, into
an aggregate 31.2 million shares of Common Stock at a conversion price of $48
per share (based on its $100 per share liquidation value) and (ii) receives for
four years an annual dividend per share equal to the greater of $3.75 and an
amount equal to the dividends paid on the Common Stock into which each share may
be converted. To the extent that any of the Series G Preferred Stock, Series H
Preferred Stock or Series I Preferred Stock remains outstanding at the end of
the period in which the minimum $3.75 per share dividend is to be paid, the
holders thereafter will receive dividends equal to the dividends paid on shares
of Common Stock multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock into which
their shares of such series of preferred stock are convertible.
Cable Transactions
TWE consolidates the TWE-Advance/Newhouse Partnership and the one-third
equity interest owned by Advance/Newhouse is reflected in the Entertainment
Group's historical financial statements as minority interest. In accordance with
the partnership agreement for the TWE-Advance/Newhouse Partnership,
Advance/Newhouse may require TWE to purchase its equity interest for fair market
value at specified intervals following the death of both of its principal
shareholders. Following the third anniversary of the closing of the TWE-A/N
Transaction, either partner can initiate a dissolution in which TWE would
receive two-thirds and Advance/Newhouse would receive one-third of the
partnership's net assets. The assets contributed by TWE and Advance/Newhouse to
the TWE-Advance/Newhouse Partnership were recorded at their predecessor's
historical cost. No gain was recognized by TWE upon the capitalization of the
TWE-Advance/Newhouse Partnership.
As a result of the Acquisitions, Time Warner has acquired cable
television systems that served approximately 2.2 million subscribers and a 50%
interest in Paragon, which owned cable television systems serving an additional
972,000 subscribers (the other 50% interest is already owned by TWE). As
described below, in order to consummate the Acquisitions, Time Warner issued
approximately 5.5 million shares of Common Stock and approximately $2.1 billion
aggregate liquidation value of new series of convertible preferred stock, and
assumed or incurred, directly or indirectly, approximately $3.3 billion of debt.
In connection with the Summit Acquisition, Time Warner issued
approximately 1.6 million shares of Common Stock and approximately 3.3 million
shares of a new series of convertible preferred stock (the "Series C Preferred
Stock") and assumed approximately $140 million of indebtedness. The Series C
Preferred Stock (i) is convertible into 6.8 million shares of Common Stock at a
conversion price of $48 per share (based on its $100 per share liquidation
value) and (ii) receives for five years an annual dividend per share equal to
the greater of $3.75
-7-
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
and an amount equal to the dividends paid on the Common Stock into which a share
of Series C Preferred Stock may be converted.
In connection with the KBLCOM Acquisition, Time Warner issued one
million shares of Common Stock and 11 million shares of a new series of
convertible preferred stock (the "Series D Preferred Stock") and assumed or
incurred approximately $1.2 billion of indebtedness, including $102 million of
Time Warner's allocable share of Paragon's indebtedness. The Series D Preferred
Stock (i) is convertible into 22.9 million shares of Common Stock at a
conversion price of $48 per share (based on its $100 per share liquidation
value) and (ii) receives for four years an annual dividend per share equal to
the greater of $3.75 and an amount equal to the dividends paid on the Common
Stock into which a share of Series D Preferred Stock may be converted.
In connection with the CVI Acquisition, Time Warner issued
approximately 2.9 million shares of Common Stock, approximately 3.3 million
shares of a new series of convertible preferred stock (the "Series E Preferred
Stock") and approximately 3.2 million shares of another new series of
convertible preferred stock (the "Series F Preferred Stock") and assumed or
incurred approximately $2 billion of indebtedness. The Series E Preferred Stock
and Series F Preferred Stock (i) are convertible into an aggregate of 13.5
million shares of Common Stock at a conversion price of $48 per share (based on
its $100 per share liquidation value) and (ii) receive, for a period of five
years with respect to the Series E Preferred Stock and a period of four years
with respect to the Series F Preferred Stock, an annual dividend per share equal
to the greater of $3.75 and an amount equal to the dividends paid on the Common
Stock into which a share of Series E Preferred Stock or Series F Preferred Stock
may be converted.
To the extent that any of the Series C Preferred Stock, Series D
Preferred Stock, Series E Preferred Stock or Series F Preferred Stock remains
outstanding at the end of the period in which the minimum $3.75 per share
dividend is to be paid, the holders thereafter will receive dividends equal to
the dividends paid on shares of Common Stock multiplied by the number of shares
into which their shares of such series of preferred stock are convertible.
The Acquisitions have been accounted for by the purchase method of
accounting for business combinations and, accordingly, the estimated cost to
acquire such assets has been allocated to the underlying net assets in
proportion to their respective fair values. The valuations and other studies
which will provide the basis for such an allocation have not been completed. As
more fully described in the notes to the pro forma consolidated condensed
financial statements, a preliminary allocation of the excess of cost over the
book value of the net assets acquired or to be acquired has been made for pro
forma purposes principally to investments and cable television franchises in
proportion to their estimated fair values.
In connection with the Cable Transactions, TWE entered into management
services agreements pursuant to which TWE is responsible for the management and
operations of the cable television systems owned by Time Warner and the
TWE-Advance/Newhouse Partnership, other than the cable television systems
located within the 14-state telephone service area of U S WEST, Inc. The
historical consolidated statements of operations of Time Warner and the
Entertainment Group for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and the pro forma
consolidated condensed statements of operations of Time Warner and the
Entertainment Group for the year ended December 31, 1995 each reflect annual
management fees to be paid by Time Warner and the TWE-Advance/Newhouse
Partnership to TWE, based on an allocation, which management believes to be
reasonable, of the corporate expenses of the cable division of TWE in proportion
to the respective number of cable subscribers of Time Warner and the
TWE-Advance/Newhouse Partnership to be managed by TWE's cable division as a
percentage of the aggregate number of subscribers of all cable television
systems to be managed by TWE's cable division. As a result of TWE's management
of the Time Warner and the TWE-Advance/Newhouse Partnership-owned cable
television systems, the pro forma consolidated condensed statement of operations
of Time Warner for the year ended December 31, 1995 also
-8-
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
reflects certain reductions in corporate expenses of the acquired entities
relating to the closing of certain corporate and regional facilities and the
termination of related personnel as a direct result of the integration of the
acquired operations into Time Warner's and TWE's operating structure.
Debt Refinancings
The New Credit Agreement permits borrowings in an aggregate amount of
up to $8.3 billion. Borrowings are limited to $4 billion in the case of TWI
Cable, $5 billion in the case of the TWE-Advance/Newhouse Partnership and $8.3
billion in the case of TWE, subject in each case to certain limitations and
adjustments. Such borrowings bear interest at specific rates for each of the
three borrowers, generally equal to LIBOR plus a margin initially ranging from
50 to 87.5 basis points, which margin will vary based on the credit rating or
financial leverage of the applicable borrower.
In the aggregate, proceeds of $7.304 billion were raised in connection
with the Debt Refinancings. Such proceeds were used, together with approximately
$171 million of available cash and equivalents, to repay or redeem $7.275
billion of indebtedness, plus redemption premiums and accrued interest thereon
of $150 million and financing costs of $50 million. Pro forma adjustments for
the Debt Refinancings in the three months ended March 31, 1996 and the year
ended December 31, 1995 reflect (1) approximately $750 million in proceeds
received from the issuance of the January 1996 Debentures, which have a weighted
average interest rate of 7.3% and (2) the use of $721 million of such proceeds,
together with $557 million of net proceeds received from the issuance of the
Preferred Trust Securities (8-7/8% yield) in December 1995 to finance the 1996
Convertible Debt Refinancing ($1.226 billion principal amount, plus redemption
premiums and accrued interest thereon of $52 million). Pro forma adjustments for
the year ended December 31, 1995 also reflect additional aggregate proceeds
received of $6.554 billion, consisting of (1) borrowings of $5.134 billion in
the aggregate under the New Credit Agreement, (2) approximately $500 million of
proceeds received from the issuance of the 7.75% Notes, (3) $363 million of net
proceeds received from the issuance of the PERCS (4% yield) and (4) the receipt
of $557 million of net proceeds from the issuance of the Preferred Trust
Securities (8-7/8% yield) and additional repayments of $6.197 billion consisting
of (1) $1.184 billion of indebtedness assumed in the CVI Acquisition (plus
redemption premiums thereon of $16 million), (2) $1.086 billion of indebtedness
assumed or incurred in the KBLCOM Acquisition (plus redemption premiums and
accrued interest thereon of $19 million), (3) $204 million of Paragon
indebtedness, funded equally by Time Warner and TWE, (4) $2.575 billion of
indebtedness of TWE under a pre-existing bank credit agreement, (5) $1 billion
principal amount of the 8.75% Convertible Debentures, plus redemption premiums
and accrued interest thereon of $63 million and (6) $50 million to pay for
financing costs. In addition to such $7.304 billion of refinancings, $289
million was borrowed under the New Credit Agreement, consisting of $211 million
to consummate the CVI Acquisition and $78 million to pay for transaction costs.
Pro forma adjustments for the Debt Refinancings also reflect the noncash
redemption of $1.8 billion principal amount of outstanding Reset Notes (8.7%
yield) in exchange for an equal amount of Exchange Securities at a weighted
average interest rate of 7.9% in the year ended December 31, 1995. Based on the
average LIBOR rates in effect during the three months ended March 31, 1996 and
the year ended December 31, 1995, LIBOR has been assumed to be 5.5% and 6% per
annum, respectively, and accordingly, the pro forma consolidated condensed
statements of operations reflect interest on borrowings under the New Credit
Agreement at estimated rates of (i) 6.375% and 6.875% per annum, respectively,
for TWI Cable and (ii) 6% and 6.5% per annum, respectively, for each of TWE and
the TWE-Advance/Newhouse Partnership. Each 12.5 basis point increase in the pro
forma interest rate applicable to the aggregate $5.423 billion of borrowings
under the New Credit Agreement would have the approximate effect of increasing
Time Warner's annual interest expense and net loss by $3 million and $4 million,
respectively, and in the case of borrowings by TWE and the TWE-Advance/Newhouse
Partnership only, of increasing TWE's annual interest expense and decreasing its
net income by $3 million each.

The New Credit Agreement contains certain covenants for each borrower
relating to, among other things, additional indebtedness; liens on assets; cash
flow coverage and leverage ratios; and loans, advances, distributions and other
cash payments or transfers of assets from the borrowers to their respective
partners or affiliates.
Asset Sale Transactions
The Asset Sale Transactions for the year ended December 31, 1995
reflect the disposition by TWE on June 23, 1995 of 51% of its interest in Six
Flags, the payment by Six Flags of certain intercompany indebtedness and
licensing fees to TWE in connection therewith, and the sale and planned sale of
certain unclustered cable television systems for aggregate gross proceeds of
approximately $1.18 billion. TWE has deconsolidated Six Flags effective as of
June 23, 1995 and accounts for its remaining 49% interest in Six Flags under the
equity method of accounting. As a result of these transactions, TWE expects a
cumulative debt reduction of approximately $1.045 billion, of which
approximately $950 million is already reflected in TWE's historical balance
sheet at March 31, 1996. TWE expects to realize aggregate income of
approximately $375 million as a result of the Asset Sale Transactions, of which
a portion of such income was deferred by TWE principally as a result of its
guarantee of certain third-party, zero-coupon indebtedness of Six Flags due in
1999. The effects of the sale of certain of the unclustered cable television
systems that have closed or are expected to close in 1996 are not material to
the pro forma financial condition and results of operations of either the
Entertainment Group or Time Warner and, accordingly, have not been reflected in
the pro forma consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months
ended March 31, 1996 included herein.

straight-line basis over a forty-year period, (3) an increase of $15
million in selling, general and administrative expenses with respect to
payments to be made to TWE for its management of the cable television
systems of CVI and the Gerry Companies, (4) an increase of $19 million in
interest expense on the $277 million of borrowings under the New Credit
Agreement, which were used to consummate the CVI Acquisition and to pay for
transaction costs and other related liabilities, (5) a decrease of $57
million in income tax expense as a result of income tax benefits provided

F Preferred Stock issued in the CVI Acquisition.
(i) Pro forma adjustments for the year ended December 31, 1995 to record $17

TWE's consolidation of Paragon, as more fully described in the notes to the
Entertainment Group pro forma consolidated condensed financial statements
contained elsewhere herein, has no pro forma effect on the net income of
TWE and, accordingly, the consolidation of Paragon has no effect on the pro
forma operating results of Time Warner for the year ended December 31,
1995.
Income taxes of $6 million have been provided in the year ended December
31, 1995 at a 41% tax rate on the aggregate increase in income from Time
Warner's equity in the pretax income of the Entertainment Group, adjusted
for certain temporary differences.
(j) Pro forma adjustments to record the ITOCHU/Toshiba Transaction for the year
ended December 31, 1995 reflect (1) an increase of $29 million in interest
and other, net, consisting of (i) an increase of $16 million with respect
to the amortization of the $417 million aggregate excess cost to acquire
the minority interests in TWE held by ITOCHU and Toshiba, which will be
amortized on a straight-line basis over a twenty-year period and (ii) an
increase of $13 million with respect to the elimination of historical
amortization related to Time Warner's excess interest in the net assets of
TWE over the net book value of its investment in TWE, which resulted from
the initial investments in TWE by ITOCHU and Toshiba, (2) a decrease of $11
million in income tax expense as a result of income tax benefits provided
at a 41% tax rate and (3) an increase of $42 million in preferred dividend
requirements of the preferred stock issued in the ITOCHU/Toshiba
Transaction.

TIME WARNER INC.
NOTES TO THE ENTERTAINMENT GROUP PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED
STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS
(a) Reflects the historical operating results of Advance/Newhouse for the three
months ended March 31, 1995 (and for the three months ended January 31,
1995 with respect to certain contributed businesses which have different
fiscal years), as well as certain pro forma adjustments directly related
thereto. The pro forma adjustments reflect (1) an increase of $1 million in
cost of revenues with respect to TWE's amortization of transaction costs on
a straight-line basis over a three-year period and (2) an increase of $27
million in minority interest, representing Advance/Newhouse's minority
interest in the net income of the TWE-Advance/Newhouse Partnership,
including their one-third share of $45 million of annual management fees to
be paid by the partnership to TWE.
(b) Pro forma adjustments reflect the consolidation of Paragon's operating
results as a result of TWE's control over the management of such entity for
the six month period prior to TWE's consolidation of Paragon effective as
of July 6, 1995, offset by Time Warner's minority share of the net income
of Paragon in the amount of $24 million.
(c) Pro forma adjustments to record the Debt Refinancings for the year ended
December 31, 1995 reflect lower interest costs of $13 million from (i)
$2.716 billion of aggregate borrowings under the New Credit Agreement,
which were used to refinance $2.677 billion of indebtedness (plus $39
million of related financing costs) and (ii) the repayment of $102 million
of Paragon's indebtedness funded by Time Warner, as set forth below (in
millions).
All pro forma adjustments to record the Debt Refinancings for the year
ended December 31, 1995 reflect the incremental effect on the Entertainment
Group's operating results from each refinancing that had closed during the
period.

<PAGE>
<PAGE>
(e) Pro forma adjustments to record a decrease of $3 million in net income from
the Asset Sale Transactions for the year ended December 31, 1995 reflect
(1) the deconsolidation of the operating results of Six Flags for the
periods prior to the consummation of the Six Flags Transaction in June
1995, (2) the elimination of the operating results of the cable television
systems sold or to be sold and (3) a decrease in interest expense,
representing interest savings from the repayment by TWE of indebtedness
under the New Credit Agreement using the aggregate net proceeds received
in these transactions. TWE will realize aggregate income of approximately
$375 million on these transactions, of which a portion of such income has
been deferred by TWE principally as a result of its guarantee of
third-party, zero-coupon indebtedness of Six Flags due in 1999. The effects
of the sale of certain of the unclustered cable television systems that
have closed or are expected to close in 1996 are not material to the pro
forma financial condition and results of operations of either the
Entertainment Group or Time Warner and, accordingly, have not been
reflected in the pro forma consolidated financial statements as of and for
the three months ended March 31, 1996 included herein.
