Dear City Representatives:
Reed-Stowe& Co., Inc. ("Reed-Stowe") has completed its review of the Form 1240 filings
submitted to the Cities of Alvin and Friendswood (the"Cities") on or about March 4, 1996 by
TCI TKR of Houston, Inc.("TCP' or"the Company"). As you are aware, the Form 1240
methodology has been offered to cable operators as an option to replace the quarterly Form 1210
filings with an annual adjustment to the rates charged for basic and expanded basic service. TCI
informed the Cities in January 1996 of its decision to use the Form 1240 annual filings.
The following report provides a brief discussion of the changes in FCC regulations and rulings
impacting the TCI rates as well as highlights of our analyses, findings and recommendations
concerning the proposed June 1, 1996 monthly basic service rate of$9.89. This study does not
constitute an examination of the financial condition of TCI or its parent company. As such, we
cannot and do not express any opinion regarding the validity of accuracy of the financial
information provided as support for the costs included by TCI in its Form 1240 filing.

BACKGROUND
The Form 1240 differs substantially from the Form 1210 methodology in that it allows for the
operator to "project" increases in external costs, inflation, franchise related costs and changes in
channels through the period in which the rates will be in effect. The form provides for a"true-up"
of previously under/over-recovered costs, which for first time filers is related to the period not
covered by previously filed Form 1210. Subsequent annual filings will"true-up" the projections
included in the prior filing based on the actual expenses incurred by the operator. Under/over-
recovery of actual expenses as determined by the true-up calculation will have an 11.25% interest
added to either be refunded to the subscribers (over-recovery) or collected by the operator
(under-recovery) ratably during the next projected period.
The general rationale for use of an annual filing with projected costs is to allow operators to begin
recovery of"reasonably certain and reasonably quantifiable" cost increases without having the
regulatory lag that was inherent in the Form 1210 methodology (as it is based on historical cost
increases with rates not effective until well after the increase had been experienced). In addition,
the true-up calculation provides for assurances to both the subscriber and the operator that actual
costs will ultimately be recovered with interest.
Using the Form 1240 methodology, TCI has proposed an increase in the monthly basic service
charge from the current rate of$8.42 to a rate of$9.89. The maximum permitted rate computed
by TCI on the Form 1240 is $10.14, but the Company is proposing to "hold out" $.25 of the
increase until a future period. (iJnder FCC Order 95-397, an operator is not required to charge
the full amount of the calculated increase, but can use portions of a justifiable increase at a later
time without interest due to the operator's choice to defer the increase.) The increase as
proposed reflects TCI's projected cost changes that have occurred or are expected to occur
through May 31, 1997.
PROJECT ACTIVITIES
Given the changes in the computation of rates under the FCC Order 95-397, the basis for our
analyses was to assess the extent to which TCI has complied with the regulations and rulings as
they relate to basic cable service. (The FCC continues to have the authority to regulated the
expanded basic services under the Form 1240 methodology.) In order to determine such
compliance and the accuracy of TCI's computation of the rate, we performed the following
activities:
• Review of the Form 1240 and related documentation provided by TCI
• Development of detailed requests for information submitted to TCI
• Analysis of responses to requests for information

• Follow-up conversations with TCI representatives concerning specific data and/or
treatment of various costs
• Development of alternative treatment of costs in the calculation of the monthly basic
service rate
SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
During the course of our review, we identified two main issues that we recommend be addressed
by the Cities. These are:
• The filing was facially incomplete as filed by TCI on March 4, 1996.
• The use of a 2.61% inflation rate during the true-up period rather than the now
published rate of 2.22%.
Facially Incomplete Filing
TCI's original filing of the Form 1240 on or about March 4, 1996 was facially incomplete in that
it did not include the supporting documentation for the changes in channels for the basic tier
during the projected period. We informed TCI of the issue within the required forty-five (45)
days from the date of the filing, and on March 22, 1996, the Company submitted the additional
documentation, thereby establishing a facially complete filing on that date.
Pursuant to FCC Order 95-397, a facially incomplete filing tolls the ninety-day (90) review period
until such time that the filing is made complete. Therefore, TCI's proposal to implement the new
rates of June 1, 1996 has effectively been tolled until June 20, 1996.
True-Up Period Inflation Factor
Pursuant to the FCC Form 1240 regulations and instructions, the inflation factor to be used in the
calculation of true-up is to be the most recently published quarterly inflation factors that match the
period reflected by such true-up period. For example, the true-up period in this filing is July 1995
through November 1995. Therefore, per the instructions, the Company should use a combination
of the third quarter inflation factor and the fourth quarter inflation factor, if available. If these
factors have not been published by the FCC at the time of filing, the Company is to use the most
recently published factor.
The issue in this particular filing lies in the fact that at the time TCI submitted its filings to the
Cities, the FCC had not published the third or fourth quarter inflation factors, but had only
published the annual inflation factor of 2.96% related to the period July 1994 through June 1995.
Therefore, based on the instructions, TCI could have used a factor of 2.96% for the entire period
' � � � � , .

reflected by the filing (i.�through May 31, 1997). Due to the way in which the inflation is
computed, the use of such a factor could have resulted in inflation of approximately 9%being
incorporated into the rates.
Based on conversations with TCI representatives, it is our understanding that TCI chose not to
use the published rate of 2.96%, but rather to use a preliminary third quarter 1995 factor of
2.61% in order to avoid potential over-recovery during the projected period. However, on March
8, 1996, the FCC published the third quarter 1995 inflation factor of 2.22%; significantly below
the 2.61% factor used in the computation of rates.
On or about March 14, 1996, TCI submitted an amended Form 1205 to the Cities and referenced
the change in the inflation factor in its transmittal letter attached to that filing. In the letter, TCI
represented that the change in the inflation factor did not have to be reflected in its Form 1240
filing:
"as this change will be reflected in the `true-up period' on next year's filing."
While we agree that subsequent Form 1240 filings will true-up the inflation computed for
_ projected periods, the true-up period in this filing will not be"revisited" in determining whether
the Company over/under-recovered its inflation related costs. In other words, the Cities will
never have another opportunity to"conect" the impact of an inappropriate inflation factor on this
filing's true-up period. The representation made by TCI appears to suggest that the Cities will be
able to true-up all differences between the 2.61% and the published 2.22% inflation factors.
As stated above, TCI could have chosen to calculate the rates based on the most recently
published inflation factor of 2.96% at the time TCI prepared its filings. The use of a non-
published preliminary factor of 2.61% suggests that the Company was attempting to reflect
inflation more commensurate with the rate periods in question. Therefore, it is our opinion that
the Company should be willing to adjust its computation, at a minimum, to include the 2.22% in
the calculation of the true-up period, particularly in light of the following:
• The impact of the preliminary factor on the true-up period can not be corrected in
subsequent filings as represented by TCI.
• The proposed rates including the 2.61% factor have not been put into effect, and
therefore, a change in the computation at this time will not result in additional changes
to subscribers with potential refund calculations.
• The impact on the rates of using the 2.22%factor only for the true-up period does not
change TCI's selected rates, but merely reduces the"hold-out" increase of$.25 by
$.03.

• The 2.22% is a known change and results in a"reasonably certain and reasonable
quantifiable" computation of inflation.
SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on the above findings and conclusions, we recommend the following adjustment be
considered by the Cities in determining the ma�mum permitted monthly basic service rate:
1. The true-up period inflation rate should be 2.22% rather than the 2.61% proposed by
the Company. (We are not recommending that the use of the 2.61%be adjusted for
the projected periods in that these computations will be trued-up in subsequent filings.
We note that the impact of using the 2.22% for the entire filing is a reduction of
approximately $.07; still less than the $.25 being held for a future period.)
2. The Cities should order a maximum permitted monthly basic service rate of$10.11
and allow the Company to begin charging its selected rate of$9.89 on June 1, 1996.
By ordering the $10.11 rate, the Company will have the opportunity to include only
$.22 (rather than $.25) in subsequent filings.
We greatly appreciate having this opportunity to work with the Cities. If you have any questions
regarding this report, the project activities, or any of the recommendations presented, please
contact Ms. Connie Cannady at (214) 680-1880.
