What is Comcast Holdings Corporation?

As a result of Comcast's acquisition of AT&T Corp.'s broadband business (the "Broadband acquisition") in 2002, Comcast Holdings became an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Comcast Corporation ("Comcast"). Before the Broadband acquisition, Comcast Holdings was the parent company and issuer of the publicly held common shares of Comcast and the issuer of the 2.0% Exchangeable Subordinated Debentures due October 2029 and the 10 5/8% Senior Subordinated Debentures due 2012 (the "Exchangeable Subordinated Debt"). After the Broadband acquisition, Comcast became the parent and issuer of the publicly held shares of Comcast, and Comcast Holdings remained the issuer of the Exchangeable Subordinated Debt.

In September 2005, Comcast fully and unconditionally guaranteed the Exchangeable Subordinated Debt. As a result of the guarantees by Comcast, Comcast Holdings is no longer required to file quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, annual reports on Form 10-K or other periodic reports under Sections 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Starting with the third quarter of 2005, you will find condensed consolidated financial information regarding Comcast Holdings in the notes to the consolidated financial statements in Comcast's quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and annual reports on Form 10-K. Information regarding Comcast Holdings prior to the third quarter of 2005 can be found on the SEC's Web site.
