Comcast Corporation Retirement-Investment Plan

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of the Comcast Corporation Retirement-Investment Plan (the “Plan”) as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2005. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2005 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of assets (held at end of year) as of December 31, 2005 (Schedule H - Line 4i) is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements, but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan’s management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

1. PLAN DESCRIPTION

General

The following description of the Comcast Corporation Retirement-Investment Plan (the “Plan”) provides only general information. Plan participants should refer to the Plan document and applicable amendments for a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions. Copies of these documents are available from the Plan Administrator, Comcast Corporation (“Comcast”, the “Company” or the “Plan Administrator”). Generally, all costs associated with administering the Plan are paid by the Plan Administrator.

The Plan is a defined contribution plan qualified under Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) Sections 401(a), 401(k) and 401(m). The original Plan has been amended and restated to reflect mergers of other plans with and into the Plan and to make certain other technical, compliance and design changes. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”).

Effective January 1, 2003, the Plan was amended such that full-time employees become eligible to participate in the Plan after completion of six months of service and part-time employees become eligible to participate in the Plan after one year and completion of 1,000 hours of service. Also, effective January 1, 2003, the Plan was amended to reduce the service requirement for full-time employees to become eligible for Company matching contributions from one year to six months except for certain collectively bargained employees.

Effective July 1, 2003, the Plan was amended to increase the maximum amount of eligible compensation that may be deferred from 17% to 50%, subject to certain limits imposed by the Code.

Effective January 1, 2003, the Plan was amended to increase the employer matching contribution rate so that the Company matches 100% of the participant’s contribution up to 6% of the participant’s eligible compensation for such payroll period except for certain collectively bargained employees.

Each participant has at all times a 100% nonforfeitable interest in the participant’s contributions and earnings attributable thereto. Company matching contributions for Plan years beginning after December 31, 2000 are fully and immediately vested. Company matching contributions for Plan years ended on or prior to December 31, 2000 vested according to years of service.

Each participant has the right, in accordance with the provisions of the Plan, to direct the investment by the Trustee of the Plan of all amounts allocated to the separate accounts of the participant under the Plan among any one or more of the investment fund options. The Trustee pays benefits and expenses upon the written direction of the Plan Administrator.

Amounts contributed by the Company which are forfeited by participants as a result of the participants’ separation from service prior to becoming 100% vested may be used to reduce the Company’s required contributions. Pending application of the forfeitures, the Company may direct the Trustee to hold the forfeitures in cash or under investment in a suspense account. If the Plan should terminate with any forfeitures not applied against Company contributions, they will be allocated to then current participants in the proportion that each participant’s eligible compensation for that Plan year bears to the eligible compensation for all such participants for the Plan year. Forfeitures used for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 amounted to $722,095 and $411,648, respectively.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2005 and 2004 (Continued)


 

Any participant who has a separation from service for any reason except death, disability or attainment of age 65 shall be entitled to receive his/her vested account balance. Upon death, disability or attainment of age 65, a participant’s account becomes fully vested in all Company contributions regardless of the participant’s years of service. Generally, distribution will start no later than 60 days after the close of the Plan year in which the participant’s separation from service occurs, subject to certain deferral rights under the Plan. The distribution alternatives permitted are a lump sum payment, installments over a period of time, any combination of the foregoing or a rollover into another qualified plan.

Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of Plan termination, each affected participant’s account balance will become fully vested.

Effective on June 1, 2005, the Plan was amended to adopt the IRS Mandatory Cash Out Regulations. On December 13, 2005, the Plan was amended to provide that employee compensation shall not be deemed eligible Plan compensation when paid more than 75 days after an employee’s separation from service. This amendment became effective January 1, 2006.

Trustee

Fidelity Management Trust Company is the appointed Trustee of the Plan.

 

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The financial statements of the Plan are presented using the accrual basis of accounting. Contributions receivable at December 31, 2004 represent amounts due to the Plan relating to December 24, 2004 participant and employer matching contributions not remitted to the Plan until subsequent to year-end. Investments in mutual funds, the AT&T Stock Fund and the Comcast Corporation Stock Fund are carried at fair value. Fair value is determined by the last sale or closing price as of the last trading day of the Plan year for investments in securities traded on a securities exchange or the Nasdaq National Market. Investment contracts, which are included in the Comcast Stable Value Fund, are fully benefit-responsive and are carried at contract value. Contract value represents contributions made, plus interest at the contract rate and transfers, less distributions. Loans receivable from participants are valued at cost which approximates fair value. Net unrealized appreciation or depreciation in the financial statements reflects changes in fair value of investments held at year end, while net realized gains and losses associated with the disposition of investments are recorded as of the trade date and calculated based on fair value as of such date. Benefits are recorded when paid.

Investment securities are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, market and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect the amounts reported in the statement of net assets available for benefits.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and changes therein, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

During 2005, the Plan’s investments (including gains and losses on investments bought and sold, as well as held during the year) appreciated (depreciated) in value as follows (in thousands):

 

Mutual Funds

   $ 32,451  

Common Stock

     (54,858 )
        
   $ (22,407 )
        

The fair value of assets included in the Comcast Stable Value Fund was $468,843,000 and $438,147,000 as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The average yield of investment contracts held as of December 31, 2005 and 2004 was 3.64% and 3.49%, respectively. The average yield on investment contracts for the year ended December 31, 2005 was 3.66%.

 

4. PARTICIPANT LOANS AND HARDSHIP WITHDRAWALS

A participant may borrow from his/her Plan account subject to the approval of the Plan Administrator in accordance with applicable regulations issued by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) and the Department of Labor. In general, a participant may borrow a minimum of $500 up to a maximum of the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of the participant’s nonforfeitable accrued benefit on the valuation date (as defined by the Plan) last preceding the date on which the loan request is processed by the Plan Administrator. The maximum term of a loan made pursuant to the Plan is five years (loans with terms of greater than five years exist under the Plan as a result of rollovers from merged plans). Interest accrues at the prime rate plus 1% of the month the loan application is approved. Principal and interest are paid through payroll deductions or participant initiated payments. Interest rates ranged from 4.25% to 11.5% for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Maturities on active outstanding loans ranged from 2004 to 2024 for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004. Loan transactions are treated as a transfer from (to) the investment fund to (from) the participant loan fund.

Effective after a calendar quarter of non-repayment, a loan is considered to be in default. Defaulted loans are treated as distributions for tax purposes and become taxable income to the participant for the year in which the default occurs.

A participant may withdraw all or a portion of his/her benefits derived from salary reduction, rollovers or the vested portion of pre-January 1, 2001 employer contributions, and earnings thereon, on account of hardship, as defined by the Plan and applicable IRS regulations. Under these rules, the participant must exhaust the possibilities of all other distributions, loans, etc. available under the Plan and meet certain other requirements. Upon receiving a hardship withdrawal, the participant’s elective contributions are suspended for six calendar months.

 

5. ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN

The Company, as Plan Administrator, has the authority to control and manage the operation and administration of the Plan and may delegate all or a portion of the responsibilities of controlling and managing the operation and administration of the Plan to one or more persons.

6. FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS

 

  a. Income Tax Status of the Plan - The Plan received a determination letter dated December 19, 1995 in which the IRS stated that the Plan, as amended and restated effective January 1, 1993, is qualified and that the trust established under the Plan is tax-exempt. The Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter (see Note 1). A request for an updated determination letter, which considers the 2002 amendments, was filed with the IRS on February 27, 2002. On March 14, 2003, the Plan received a favorable determination letter with respect to the Company’s request indicating that the form of the Plan as amended and restated, effective January 1, 1997 satisfies the applicable requirements of the Code and the form of the related trust satisfies the applicable requirements for exemption from federal income tax under the Code. On September 10, 2003 a request for an updated determination letter, which considers the 2003 amendments, was filed with the IRS. On April 21, 2005, the Plan received a favorable determination letter with respect to the Company’s request indicating that the form of the Plan as amended and restated, effective January 1, 2003 satisfies the applicable requirements for exemption from federal income tax under the Code. On December 27, 2005, the Company filed a request for an updated determination letter for the Plan’s July 1, 2003 amendment and restatements. To date, no response has been received on this filing. The Company believes that the Plan continues to comply in form and operation with the applicable requirements of the Code. Therefore, the Company believes that the Plan was qualified and the related trust was tax-exempt as of December 31, 2005 and 2004. Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been included in the Plan’s financial statements.

 

  b. Impact on Plan Participants - Matching contributions and salary reduction contributions, as well as earnings on Plan assets, are generally not subject to federal income tax until distributed from a qualified plan that meets the requirements of Sections 401(a), 401(k) and 401(m) of the Code.
