NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1: Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Basis of Presentation

We have prepared these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements based on Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules that permit reduced disclosure for interim periods. These financial statements include all adjustments that are necessary for a fair presentation of our consolidated results of operations, financial condition and cash flows for the periods shown, including normal, recurring accruals and other items. The consolidated results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.

The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). For a more complete discussion of our accounting policies and certain other information, refer to our consolidated financial statements included in our 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

On January 28, 2011, Comcast closed its transaction with GE (the “Joint Venture transaction”) in which it acquired control of the businesses of NBC Universal, Inc. (our “Predecessor”) and on July 1, 2011, we closed the Universal Orlando transaction in which we acquired the remaining 50% equity interest in Universal City Development Partners, Ltd. (“Universal Orlando”) that we did not already own. The results of operations of the businesses contributed by Comcast to NBCUniversal (the “Comcast Content Business”) and the results of operations of Universal Orlando have been consolidated with our results following their respective transaction dates. For a more complete discussion of the Joint Venture and Universal Orlando transactions, refer to our consolidated financial statements included in our 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

As a result of the change in control of our company on January 28, 2011, Comcast has applied the acquisition method of accounting with respect to the assets and liabilities of the NBCUniversal businesses it acquired (the “NBCUniversal contributed businesses”), which have been remeasured to fair value as of the date of the Joint Venture transaction. Our condensed consolidated financial statements for periods following the close of the Joint Venture transaction are labeled “Successor” and reflect both Comcast's basis of accounting in the new fair values of the assets and liabilities of the NBCUniversal contributed businesses and the consolidation of the Comcast Content Business at historical cost. All periods prior to the closing of the Joint Venture transaction reflect the historical accounting basis in our assets and liabilities and are labeled “Predecessor.” Our condensed consolidated financial statements and footnotes include a black line division, which appears between the columns titled Predecessor and Successor, which signifies that the amounts shown for the periods prior to and following the Joint Venture transaction are not comparable.

Reclassifications have been made to the condensed consolidated financial statements for the prior year to conform to classifications used in the current period.

Related Party Transactions

Note 2: Related Party Transactions

In the ordinary course of our business, we enter into transactions with Comcast and GE. We generate revenue from Comcast primarily from the distribution of our cable network programming and, to a lesser extent, the sale of advertising and our owned programming, and we incur expenses primarily related to various support services provided by Comcast to us. We generate revenue from transactions with GE and its affiliates primarily from the sale of advertising and incur expenses primarily related to leased assets and our monetization program held with GE and its affiliates. In addition, we are required to make distributions to NBCUniversal Holdings on a quarterly basis to enable its indirect owners (Comcast and GE) to meet their obligations to pay taxes on taxable income generated by our businesses.

During the six months ended June 30, 2012, NBCUniversal made tax distributions to NBCUniversal Holdings of $243 million, of which $124 million was attributable to Comcast and $119 million was attributable to GE. During the period January 29, 2011 through June 30, 2011, NBCUniversal made tax distributions to NBCUniversal Holdings of $151 million, of which $77 million was attributable to Comcast and $74 million was attributable to GE.

We also provide management services to, and receive license fees from, certain of our equity method investees.

On March 26, 2012, we exercised an option that required A&E Television Networks LLC (“A&E Television Networks”) to redeem a substantial portion of our equity interest in A&E Television Networks. On July 9, 2012, we entered into a redemption agreement with A&E Television Networks whereby A&E Television Networks agreed to redeem our entire 15.8% equity interest for $3 billion. The redemption price will be paid solely in cash, although in certain limited circumstances, it would be paid in cash and in the form of a senior note issued by A&E Television Networks. Under the terms of the redemption agreement, we are no longer required to provide a last dollar guarantee of indebtedness that A&E Television Networks may incur to finance the purchase of our equity interest. As of June 30, 2012, we have classified our equity interest as a current investment in our condensed consolidated balance sheet. We expect the transaction to close during the second half of 2012, and we expect to recognize a pretax gain on the sale of our equity interest of approximately $1 billion when the transaction closes.

On July 13, 2012, we acquired the remaining 50% equity interest in MSNBC Interactive News, LLC and other related entities (“MSNBC.com”) that we did not already own. MSNBC.com is now a wholly owned consolidated subsidiary of ours and its results of operations will be reported in our Cable Networks segment following the date of acquisition.

Balance, June 30, 2012	$	12,952	$	762	$	1	$	1,079	$	14,794

The change in goodwill in our Cable Networks segment primarily relates to the acquisition in May 2012 of a controlling interest in a previously held equity method investment based in Brazil, which we now consolidate. The preliminary allocation of purchase price, including the change in goodwill, is not yet final and is subject to change. We will finalize the amounts recognized as we obtain the information necessary to complete the analysis, but no later than May 2013.

Long-Term Debt

Note 6: Long-Term Debt

As of June 30, 2012, our debt had an estimated fair value of $10.8 billion. The estimated fair value of our publicly traded debt is based on quoted market values for the debt. To estimate the fair value of debt for which there are no quoted market prices, we use interest rates available to us for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities.

Commercial Paper Program

During the six months ended June 30, 2012, our net repayments of commercial paper were $550 million.

- Definition

The entire disclosure for information about short-term and long-term debt arrangements, which includes amounts of borrowings under each line of credit, note payable, commercial paper issue, bonds indenture, debenture issue, own-share lending arrangements and any other contractual agreement to repay funds, and about the underlying arrangements, rationale for a classification as long-term, including repayment terms, interest rates, collateral provided, restrictions on use of assets and activities, whether or not in compliance with debt covenants, and other matters important to users of the financial statements, such as the effects of refinancing and noncompliance with debt covenants.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

Derivative Financial Instruments

Note 7: Derivative Financial Instruments

We use derivative financial instruments to manage our exposure to the risks associated with fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and interest rates.

We manage our exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates by using foreign exchange contracts such as forward contracts and currency options, and we manage our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates primarily by using interest rate exchange agreements (“swaps”).

We manage the credit risks associated with our derivative financial instruments through diversification and the evaluation and monitoring of the creditworthiness of the counterparties. Although we may be exposed to losses in the event of nonperformance by the counterparties, we do not expect such losses, if any, to be significant.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, there were no significant changes in the composition of any of our derivative financial instruments or their classification in our condensed consolidated balance sheet. In addition, the impact of our derivative financial instruments on our condensed consolidated financial statements was not material for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 or any of the prior year periods presented.

See Note 8 for additional information on the fair value of our derivative financial instruments as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

- Definition

The entire disclosure for the entity's entire derivative instruments and hedging activities. Describes an entity's risk management strategies, derivatives in hedging activities and non-hedging derivative instruments, the assets, obligations, liabilities, revenues and expenses arising therefrom, and the amounts of and methodologies and assumptions used in determining the amounts of such items.

Fair Value Measurements [Abstract]

Fair Value Measurements

Note 8: Fair Value Measurements

The accounting guidance related to financial assets and financial liabilities (“financial instruments”) establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes fair value measurements based on the types of inputs used for the various valuation techniques (market approach, income approach and cost approach). Level 1 consists of financial instruments whose values are based on quoted market prices for identical financial instruments in an active market. Level 2 consists of financial instruments that are valued using models or other valuation methodologies. These models use inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly. Level 3 consists of financial instruments whose values are determined using pricing models that use significant inputs that are primarily unobservable, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation. Our financial instruments that are accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis are presented in the table below.


Recurring Fair Value Measures
	Fair Value as of
		June 30, 2012							December 31, 2011
Successor (in millions)	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total		Total

Foreign exchange contracts		-		8		-		8		8
Total	$	-	$	8	$	984	$	992	$	1,012

The fair values of the contractual obligations in the table above are primarily based on certain expected future discounted cash flows, the determination of which involves the use of significant unobservable inputs. The most significant unobservable input we use is our estimate of the future revenue we expect to generate from certain of our entities. The discount rates used in the measurements of fair value were between 11% and 13% and are based on the underlying risk associated with our estimate of future revenue, as well as the terms of the respective contracts. Fair value adjustments to these liabilities are recorded in other income (expense), net in our condensed consolidated statement of income.

Noncontrolling Interests

Noncontrolling Interests [Abstract]

Noncontrolling Interests

Note 9: Noncontrolling Interests

Certain of the subsidiaries that we consolidate are not wholly owned. Some of the agreements with the minority partners of these subsidiaries contain redemption features whereby interests held by the minority partners are redeemable either (i) at the option of the holder or (ii) upon the occurrence of an event that is not solely within our control. If interests were to be redeemed under these agreements, we would generally be required to purchase the interest at fair value on the date of redemption. These interests are presented on the balance sheet outside of equity under the caption “Redeemable noncontrolling interests.” Noncontrolling interests that do not contain such redemption features are presented in equity.

The table below presents the changes in equity resulting from net income (loss) attributable to NBCUniversal and transfers to or from noncontrolling interests.

Noncash Investing and Financing Activities

During six months ended June 30, 2012, we:

acquired a controlling interest in a previously held equity method investment based in Brazil, which we now consolidate in our Cable Networks segment; see Note 5 for additional information
entered into a capital lease transaction that resulted in an increase in property and equipment and debt of $85 million

Unaudited Actual and Pro Forma Information

The following unaudited pro forma information has been presented as if both the Joint Venture transaction and the Universal Orlando transaction occurred on January 1, 2010. This information is based on historical results of operations, adjusted for the allocation of purchase price and other acquisition accounting adjustments, and is not necessarily indicative of what our results would have been had we operated the businesses since January 1, 2010. No pro forma adjustments have been made for our incremental transaction-related expenses.

Receivables Monetization

Receivables Monetization [Abstract]

Receivables Monetization

Note 13: Receivables Monetization

We monetize certain of our accounts receivable under programs with a syndicate of banks. We transfer, at fair value, a significant portion of our accounts receivable that are to be monetized to NBCU Receivables Funding LLC (“Funding LLC”), a wholly owned subsidiary of ours. The operating activities of Funding LLC are restricted to the transfer and sale of the monetized receivables to a third party syndicate of banks. Due to these restrictions, Funding LLC is considered a variable interest entity, which we consolidate because we are the primary beneficiary. The assets and liabilities of this entity primarily represent the receivables and cash receipts that are not yet remitted to the programs as of the balance sheet date.

We account for receivables monetized through these programs as sales in accordance with the appropriate accounting guidance. We receive deferred consideration from the assets sold in the form of a receivable, which is funded by residual cash flows after the senior interests have been fully paid. The deferred consideration is recorded in receivables, net at its initial fair value, which reflects the net cash flows we expect to receive related to these interests. The accounts receivable we sold that underlie the deferred consideration are generally short-term in nature and, therefore, the fair value of the deferred consideration approximated its carrying value as of June 30, 2012.

We are responsible for servicing the receivables and remitting collections to the purchasers under the monetization programs. We perform this service for a fee that is equal to the prevailing market rate for such services. As a result, no servicing asset or liability has been recorded in our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2012. The servicing fees are a component of net (loss) gain on sale, which is presented in the table below.

Financial Data by Business Segment

Note 14: Financial Data by Business Segment

We present our operations in four reportable business segments:

Cable Networks: Consists primarily of our national cable television networks, our regional sports and news networks, our international cable networks, our cable television production studio, and our related digital media properties.
Broadcast Television: Consists primarily of the NBC and Telemundo broadcast networks, our NBC and Telemundo owned local television stations, our broadcast television production operations, and our related digital media properties.
Filmed Entertainment: Consists of the operations of Universal Pictures, which produces, acquires, markets and distributes filmed entertainment and stage plays worldwide.
Theme Parks: Consists primarily of our Universal theme parks in Orlando and Hollywood.

In evaluating the profitability of our operating segments, the components of net income (loss) below operating income (loss) before depreciation and amortization are not separately evaluated by our management. Our financial data by business segment is presented in the tables below.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and the period January 29 through June 30, 2011, our Cable Networks segment included the results of operations of the Comcast Content Business.
For the periods January 1, 2011 through January 28, 2011 and January 29, 2011 through June 30, 2011, our Theme Parks segment included the results of operations for Universal Orlando to reflect our measure of operating performance for our Theme Parks segment.
Headquarters and Other includes operating costs and expenses associated with corporate overhead, employee benefits and corporate initiatives.
Eliminations for the periods January 1, 2011 through January 28, 2011 and January 29, 2011 through June 30, 2011 included the elimination of the results of operations for Universal Orlando for these periods. These results were not included in our consolidated results of operations because we recorded Universal Orlando as an equity method investment during those periods.
Also included in Eliminations are transactions that our segments enter into with one another, which consisted primarily of the licensing of film and television content from our Filmed Entertainment and Broadcast Television segments to our Cable Networks segment.
No single customer accounted for a significant amount of revenue in any period.
We use operating income (loss) before depreciation and amortization, excluding impairment charges related to fixed and intangible assets and gains or losses from the sale of assets, if any, as the measure of profit or loss for our operating segments. This measure eliminates the significant level of noncash amortization expense that results from intangible assets recognized in connection with the Joint Venture transaction and other business combinations. Additionally, it is unaffected by our capital structure or investment activities. We use this measure to evaluate our consolidated operating performance and the operating performance of our operating segments and to allocate resources and capital to our operating segments. It is also a significant performance measure in our annual incentive compensation programs. We believe that this measure is useful to investors because it is one of the bases for comparing our operating performance with other companies in our industries, although our measure may not be directly comparable to similar measures used by other companies. This measure should not be considered a substitute for operating income (loss), net income (loss) attributable to NBCUniversal, net cash provided by operating activities, or other measures of performance or liquidity we have reported in accordance with GAAP.

- Definition

The entire disclosure for reporting segments including data and tables. Reportable segments include those that meet any of the following quantitative thresholds a) it's reported revenue, including sales to external customers and intersegment sales or transfers is 10 percent or more of the combined revenue, internal and external, of all operating segments b) the absolute amount of its reported profit or loss is 10 percent or more of the greater, in absolute amount of 1) the combined reported profit of all operating segments that did not report a loss or 2) the combined reported loss of all operating segments that did report a loss c) its assets are 10 percent or more of the combined assets of all operating segments.

Condensed Consolidating Financial Information

Note 15: Condensed Consolidating Financial Information

In October 2011, NBCUniversal Media, LLC fully and unconditionally guaranteed Universal Orlando's senior and senior subordinated notes in exchange for amendments that conform the notes' covenants and events of default to those contained in our $9.1 billion of outstanding public debt securities. The guarantee includes the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest. NBCUniversal Media, LLC is referred to as “Parent” in the tables presented below.

Universal Orlando's senior and senior subordinated notes were co-issued by Universal City Development Partners, Ltd. and UCDP Finance (collectively, the “Issuers”) and continue also to be fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Universal City Travel Partners and Universal Orlando Online Merchandise Store (collectively, the “Guarantor Subsidiaries”).

Our condensed consolidating financial information is presented in the tables below and includes the operating results of the Universal Orlando entities from July 1, 2011, the date we acquired the remaining 50% equity interest in Universal Orlando that we did not already own.
