The
accreted values presented above generally represent the principal amount
of the notes less the original issue discount at the time of sale, plus
the accretion to the balance sheet date. However, certain notes
are recorded for financial reporting purposes at values different from the
current accreted value for legal purposes and notes indenture purposes
(the amount that is currently payable if the debt becomes immediately
due). As of December 31, 2007, the accreted value of Charter
Holdings’, CCH II’s, and CCO Holdings’ debt for legal purposes and notes
indentures purposes was $19.4 billion, $12.3 billion, and $9.9 billion,
respectively.
