I.REPORT SYNOPSIS The Consultants recommend that each participant adopt the proposed'resolution of the identified Form 1205 issues,DUl'ing the review ofthe Corncast Fotrn 1205,the Consultants have identified thieemajor issUes Witliine Form't205 asflIecl byColl1caSt..Those issues are: •Contract Labot; •Asset Depreciation Expense and Reserve;and •Installation Activities Outside the Customel Demarcation Point, As the Consultants identified each ofthese issues,the Consultants infOImed Comcast as to the potential problems andlequested that Corneast provide supporting infOIrnation to SUPP01t Comcast's position.With respect to the Customer Demar'cation Point issue,Corneast revised the installation times.FOI the other two issues,Corncast does not agree with the Consultants that these potential issues impact the FOlm 1205 as filed. Based on the identification of these issues,Corncast began discussions with the Consultants to resolve these issues without having to have the palticipating LFA issue contested late ordels and facing a long appeal process before the FCC.Comcas!has proposed to address these issues by reducing the Maximum Pennitted Rates (MPR)for many ofthe installation and equipment categOIies..While Corneast specifically does not agree with these identified issues,the Consultants believe that resolving these issues in the manner set forth in Comcast's proposal is reasonable and adrnitrlstrC1:tivelyefficient The Consultants also anticipate that Comcast will a@rnPt to address theconcemed raised by the Consultants in their next filing but this plOposed lesolution does not require them to do so. The proposed resolution requires Corneast to provide a refund plan and to Ieduce rates to each community on a community by community basis..Corncast is also agreeing to not appeal any Rate Older issued by a PaIticipant that is consistent with the pIOposed resolution.A generic copy of the proposed Comcastresolution is attached to this RepOIt. 1 Adington County,VA,Detroit,MI,Metropolitan Area Communications Commission,OR,Montgomery County, MD,Mountain View,CA,Renton,WA,and West Central Cable Agency,IL.

IV.FCC FORM 12051SSUFS IDENTIFIED The Consultants have identified three issues with the Corncast filing_The thtee issues are: •Contract Labm; •Asset Depreciation Expense and Reserve;and •Installation Activities Outside the CustorneI Demarcation Point IV(A).CONTRACT LABOR The Consultants investigated the actual contract lab01 invoices incurred by Comcast for the sample systems.The review ofthe invoices found that the number of specific installation activities included on the actual invoices diffeled significantly from the number of activities shown on the FOIID 1205 supporting materials supplied by Comcast The Consultants were concemed that the numbeI of installations petformed and billed by the contractors was inconsistent with the number of installations contained in the operational data base.Comcast in prepating the FmID 1205 used the intcmal operational data base as SUpp01t fOl the number of contractor installation and not the atnounts shown on the contIactor invoices.Comcast did use the prices fOI the individual contractm installations fmID the actual invoices but applied its internal number ofinstallations to the prices to determine the atnount of contractor labor dollars to include in the Form 1205. lithe installation activities are taken nom the contractor actual invoices,the number of installation activities would change dramatically and would gencmlly reduce the number of installations and hours associated with:installation activities _As a result,the Consultants believe that the installation rates as filed ate overstated as it uses an inflated Hourly Service Charge. In the proposed resolution,Comcast has agteed to loweI the Hourly service Charge from $3424 to $32.50 which should capture a lar·ge pOItion ofthe issue identified" IV(B)"ASSET DEPRECIATION EXPENSE AND RESERVE The Consultants investigated the computations by Comcast of the asset depreciation expense and reserve calculation for Schedules A and C.The plimaty concerns were (l)continuation of calculating depreciation expense after the asset has been fully depreciated,(2)erlOrs in the amount of depreciation and (3)errOlS in the amount ofthe reserve.Comcast disagrees with the identified concerns.The Consultants provided Corneast with a variety of exatnples of each of these issues In a few cases,Corncast was able to show that asset retirements were causing the appatent co:nfiicts.However,in other cases,Corncast was not able to provide sufficient details to suppmt the depreciation expense and leserve included in the filing.FOI example,Corncast contiriued to record depreciation past the depreciable life of the asset and continued to show a net book value'even though the depreciable life had expired. The principal impact of these issues is related to the converter categmy of assets.Comeast has as part ofthis proposed resolution agreed to reduce the converter rate fr'om $4.,01 to $3.80 for the most common converter category.The Consultants believe that this reduction is reasonable Page 3 of'S Januaty,2007 RESOLUTION NO. ASHPAUGH &SCULCO.CPAs,PLC Certifiuj P;Jbfit A!C~Utltlnts and CcnsiJlt="'l'\ts. Front Range Consulting,Inc. compromise and will cover most of the unexplained vatiations in the depreciation expense and reserve items identified IV(C)..INSTAllATION ACI1VITIES OUTSIDE THE CUSTOMER DEMARCATION POINT The Consultants investigated the potential that Corncast has included installation times outside of the customer dema.rcation point.lhe FCC Iules allow fOJ a cable opelator to only include installation costs associated with those activities from within twelve inches (12")from the point ofconneetion ofthe cable tothel'esidence..In reviewitlg1he activities associated with the contract labor costs desclibed above,it was very clear that the contIactms routinely included activities related to a dIOp and drop replacement as patt ofthe activities associated with an installation.The activities and associated costs outside of the 12"flom the point of connection are part ofthe basic service rate and cannot be included in the installation rates unless a.ll of the hours associated with that outside installations at'e included in the installation and maintenance hours.,Comcast provided an analysis ofthe "outside"activities that it routinely prepares for another regulatmy agency..Ihis analysis showed the amount oftime associated with these outside drop activities. Comcast's resolution incorporates these revised installation homs..The revised hoUls are summmized below. Unwired Installation Pl'ewired Installation Addition Outlet (Same Trip) Addition Ontlet(Separate Tr-ip) Relocate Outlet Upgrnde Downgrade Change of Service (Addl'essable) VCRlDVD (Same Trip) VCRlDVD (Separate Trip) Customer Tt'ouble CaJl In several of these categories,the Consultants do not believe that Corneast has reduced the times enough associated with these outside activities butat least Comcast in tms resolution has agreed to Iemove these outside activities.The Consultant hope that Comcast will continue to review Page 40f5 Janumy,2007 RESOLUTION NO.

VI.CONCLUSION The Consultants recommend that the Patticipants issue a Rate Order consistent with the Settlement MPRs identified in Appendix B of the genelic settlement letter attached to this Final Report.
