    UNITED STATES BANKRUPTCY COURT The Helicon Group, L.P. Case Number: 09-11573 GENERAL NOTES AND STATEMENT OF LIMITATIONS, METHODOLOGY AND DISCLAIMER REGARDING THE DEBTORS' STATEMENTS AND SCHEDULES ("Global Notes") GENERAL The Schedules of Assets and Liabilities (collectively, the "Schedules") and the Statements of Financial Affairs (collectively, the "Statements" and, together with the Schedules, the "Schedules and Statements") filed by Charter Communications, Inc. ("Charter") and its 129 affiliated debtors, including Charter Investment, Inc. (“CII”) in these jointly administered chapter 11 cases (each, a "Debtor") in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the "Bankruptcy Court") have been prepared pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 521 and Rule 1007 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure by management of the Debtors with the assistance of their advisors and are unaudited. Schedules and Statements for CII are being prepared by CII. Although management has made reasonable efforts to ensure that the Schedules and Statements are as accurate and complete as possible under the circumstances based on information that was available to them at the time of preparation, subsequent information or discovery may result in material changes to these Schedules and Statements, and inadvertent errors or omissions may exist. Because, among other things, the Schedules and Statements contain unaudited information, which is subject to further review and potential adjustment, there can be no assurance that these Schedules and Statements are complete. Furthermore, although the Debtors believe certain of the Debtors are solvent, nothing contained in the Schedules and Statements shall constitute a waiver of any rights with respect to these chapter 11 cases (the “Chapter 11 Cases”), including, but not limited to, issues involving equitable subordination and/or causes of action arising under the provisions of chapter 5 ofthe Bankruptcy Code and other relevant non-bankruptcy laws to recover assets or avoid transfers.

Effective with the fourth-quarter 2010, Verizon changed its method of accounting for pension and postretirement benefits. Accordingly, all prior periods have been adjusted for this change, which primarily affected Verizon consolidated and the Wireline segment. Reclassifications of prior-period amounts have been made, where appropriate, to reflect comparable operating results for the divestiture of overlapping wireless properties in 105 operating markets in 24 states during the first-half of 2010; the wireless deferred revenue adjustment that was disclosed in Verizon’s Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2010; and the spinoff to Frontier of local exchange and related landline assets in 14 states, effective on July 1, 2010.
