Whether you itemize them or not, any franchise fees you pay for the cable programming service tier should be added to your monthly rate as part of the service charge when billing your subscribers. See 47 C.F.R. Section 76.985. Equipment and Installation Rates NOTE: If equipment used for cable progri.mming service is also used to receive the basic tier, then it must be included in basic service equipment. Simiiarly, if an installation involving cable programming services also involves the basic service tier, it must be included in basic service installations. We anticipate that virtually all equipment and installations will involve the basic service tier and there will thus be no need to complete this part of the cover sheet. However, if you lease equipment and/or provide some installatiorwelated service that involves ONLY your cable programming services, you should complete the following section. As for basic service, your equipment and installation rates for cable programming service must not be included in your. program service rate, but rather must be completely unbundled. In addition, those equipment and installation rates must not exceed your actual costs, including a reasonable profit. The method for unbuncling your equipment and instal~tion rates from cable prOlP'amming service rates, and for determining your permitted equipment and installation rates, is prescribed in Part " (unbundling) and Part III (rat-erting) of this form. Enter in the spaces below the rate figures you have calculated in Part III of this form. Your actual cable programming service equipment and installation charges may not exceed these rates, although they may be lower.

Using the worksheets will enable you to compute the maximum rate you may currently charge for regulated programming services under the FCC's rules. If your current rates exceed the maximum permitted rate you calculate on the worksheets, you must submit a cost-of-service showing to support your rates. If you do not do so, you will have your rates reduced to the maximum permitted rate and will be ordered to refund the excess to subscribers as necessary. An overview of the various calculations you may be making is set forth in the General Instructions for completing this form. In addition, a decision flow chart is attached as Attachment B to this Part. This chart is designed to help you visualize the different steps you will be taking to compute your maximum initial permitted rate. Reviewing these materials first will assist you in completing the worksheets. All calculations on the Worksheets (Parts II and III) should be carried out to at least three decimal points. The results should be rounded to the nearest cent (.004 or less down, .005 or more up) only when the final tier charge result is entered on Line (6) of the Service Charge sections of Part I ("Request for Cable Rate Approval Cover Sheet") and the final equipment charges are entered on the Equipment and Installation Rate sections of that Cover Sheet. INSTRUCTIONS FOR WORKSHEET 1: Worksheet 1 must be used to calculate the average Base Rate Per Channel that you are currently charging for regulated programming services and associated equipment. The Worksheet also must be used to compute the Benchmark Channel Rate with which your current Base Rate Per Channel will be compared. If your current Base Rate Per Channel is equal to or lower than the Benchmark Channel Rate, your rates will be found reasonable and you will not have to reduce them. If, however, your current Base Rate Per Channel exceeds the Benchmark Channel Rate, you will have to reduce your rate in accordance with the calculations set forth in Worksheet 2. line 101 - Tier Charge. In the relevant column, enter your current monthly charge for your basic service tier and for each tier of cable programming service that you offer to subscribers in the community unit for which the form is being completed.' Do not include any premium programming offered on a per channel or per program basis. In addition, use your standard non-discounted program service rates; do not use any bulk or other discounted rates that you may offer to special classes of customers. line 102 - Tier Channels. In the relevant column, enter the number of channels included in each tier of regulated programming services you offer to subscribers in the community unit. For purposes of completing the worksheets, a "channel" is a unit of cable service identified and selected by a channel number or similar designation. Channels are not excluded from consideration based on their contents and may include, for example, directory and menu channels. Total regulated channels include all channels on the basic service tier and cable programming service tiers. The distribution of several programming services combined on a single channel does not increase the number of channels on the system. Line 103 - Tier Subscribers. In the relevant column, enter the number of subscribers in the community unit who subscribe to each tier indicated. line 104 - Equipment Revenue Per Month. To calculate your monthly average equipment revenue, take the total revenues you eamed over the last fiscal year for the community unit for the following categories of equipment and installation services: (1) converter box rental; (2) remote control rental; (3) additional outlet fees; (4) installation fees; (5) disconnect fees; (6) reconnect fees; and (7) tier changing fees. Divide that total by 12 to compute your Equipment Revenue Per Month. Enter this figure in Column A of Line 104. Weighting. In order to determine the average Base Per Channel Rate paid by subscribers to your system, the per channel rate for each tier is weighted according to the number of subscribers to that tier, so that tiers with more subscribers count more in determining the average than tiers with fewer subscribers. This weighting is done by determining a weighted monthly rate per subscriber (the "Charge Factor" calculated in Line 105) and dividing by a weighted number of channels received by each subscriber (the "Channel Factor" calculated in Line 106). Line 105 - Charge Factor. Multiply the monthly Tier Charge in Column A in Line 101 times the number of subscribers for that tier set forth in Column A in Line 103. Add the Equipment Revenue Per Month from Line 104 to this figure and enter the sum in Column A, Line 105. Next, multiply the monthly Tier Charge in Column B in Line 101 times the number of subscribers in Column B of Line 103. Enter the result in Column B in Line 105 - d.a..lli21 add the Equipment Revenue Per Month from Line 104. Repeat this calculation for each other Column that you have completed. Finally, add the figures in Columns A - 0 in Line 105 together and enter the total in Column E of Line 105. liH 106 - Channel Factor. Multiply the number of channels in Column A in Line 102 times the number of subscribers in Column A in Line 103. Enter the result in Column A of Line 106. Repeat the same calculation for each column in Line 106. Then, add the figures in Columns A - 0 in Line 106 together and enter the total in Column E of Line 106. Line 107 - Charge Per Channel. Divide the total Charge Factor from Column E, Line 105 by the total Channel Factor from Column E, Line 106. Enter the result in Column E of Line 107. You have now completed the weighting process. Franchise Fees. The calculations in Lines 108 and 109 will enable you to separate out any franchise fees that you include in your subscriber rates. If you charge subscribers separately for franchise fees and do not include those fees in your service rates, you do not need to complete these steps and should enter $0.00 1 When completing this form, except where noted, you should use data from the community unit involved. However, you may use data for the system instead of the community unit if all relevant factors (including program service and equipment rates, channelline-ups and franchise fees) are identical and the local franchising authority (or, where relevant, the FCq permits you to use such system data. FCC 393 <Pap 101 AusustI993 INmUCTIONS FOR WORKSHEfT 2: If your current per channel rate is above the benchmark, you must now examine your per channel rate as of September 30, 1992 and compare it to the benchmark. If your September 30, 1992 rate was also above the benchmark, your maximum permitted rate will be your September 30, 1992 rate, reduced by 10 percent or to the benchmark, whichever reduction is less. If you do not implement this rate reduction, you must submit a cost-of-service showing. If your current rate is above the benchmark but your September 30, 1992 rate was equal to or below the benchmark, your maximum permitted rate will be the benchmark rate, as adjusted for inflation. If you do not reduce your rate to this level, you must submit a cost-of-service showing. Worksheet 2 will enable you to calculate your Base Per Channel Rate as of September 30, 1992 and then compare that rate to the Benchmark Channel Rate. The calculations will mirror those you performed when computing your current Base Per Channel Rate on Worksheet 1. Line 201 - Tier Charge. In the relevant column, enter your monthly charge as of September 30, 1992 for your basic service tier and for each tier of cable programming service that you offered to subscribers in the community unit on that date. Do not include any premium programming offered on a per channel or per program basis. In addition, use your standard non-discounted program service rates; do not use any bulk or other discounted rates that you may have offered to special classes of customers. Line 202 - Tier Channels. In the relevant column, enter the number of channels included in each tier of regulated programming services you offered to subscribers in the community unit as of September 30, 1992. Line 203 - Tier Subscribers. In the relevant column, enter the number of subscribers in the community unit who subscribed to each tier indicated as of September 30, 1992. Line 204 - Equipment Revenue Per Month. To calculate your monthly average equipment revenue as of September 30, 1992, take the total revenues you eamed over the preceding fiscal year for the community unit for the following categories of equipment and installation services: (1) converter box rental; (2) remote control rental; (3) additional outlet fees; (4) installation fees; (S) disconnect fees; (6) reconnect fees; and (7) tier changing fees. Divide that total by 12 to compute your Equipment Revenue Per Month as of September 30, 1992. Enter this figure in Column A of Line 204. Line 205 - Charge Factor. Multiply the monthly Tier Charge in Column A in Line 201 times the number of subscribers for that tier set forth in Column A in Line 203. Add the Equipment Revenue Per Month from Line 204 to this figure and enter the sum in Column A, Line 205. Next, multiply the monthly Tier Charge in Column B in Line 201 times the number of subscribers in Column B of Line 203. Enter the result in Column B in Line 205 - .d2.Lw1 add the Equipment Revenue Per Month from Line 204. Repeat this calculation for each other Column that you have completed. Next, add the figures in Columns A - D in Line 205 together and enter the total in Column E of Line 205. Line 206 - Channel Factor. Multiply the number of channels in Column A in Line 202 times the number of subscribers in Column A in Line 203. Enter the result in Column A of Line 206. Repeat the same calculation for each column in Line 206. Then, add the figures in Columns A - D in Line 206 together and enter the total in Column E of Line 206. Line 207 - Charge Per Channel. Divide the total Charge Factor from Column E, Line 205 by the total Channel Factor from Column E, Line 206. Enter the result in Column E of Line 207. Line 208 - Franchise Fee Expense (Monthly). Calculate the (non-itemized) franchise fees you paid for regulated tiers of service for the community unit during an average month for the fiscal year preceding September 30, 1992. Enter that total monthly payment in Column E of Line 208. Line 209 - Franchise Fee Deduction. To calculate the weighted per channel franchise fee, divide the Monthly Franchise Fee Expense from Line 208, Column E by the total Channel Factor from Line 206, Column E. Enter the result in Column E of Line 209. Line 210 - Base Rate Per Channel (September 30, 1992). Subtract the Franchise Fee Deduction in Line 209 from the Charge Per Channel in Line 207. Enter the result in the box in Line 210. This number is your Base Rate Per Channel as of September 30, 1992. It will be compared to your competitive benchmark as of September 30, 1992 as part of computing your current maximum permitted rate. Line 220 - Benchmark Channel Rate (September 30, 1992). To compare your September 30, 1992 Base Per Channel Rate to the benchmark, use the number of regulated channels and satellite-delivered signals for the community unit and the subscribers on your ~ as of September 30, 1992 to find the appropriate September 30, 1992 Benchmark Channel Rate on the benchmark tables attached as Attachment A. <S= instructions for Line 121, above, for further guidance in using benchmark tables.) You are now ready to compare your September 30, 1992 rate to the September 30, 1992 benchmark: If your SeptembE!r 30, 1992 Base Rate Per Channel (Line 21 OE) is less than or equal to the September 30, 1992 Benchmark Channel Rate (Line 220E), your maximum permitted rate will be the September 30, 1992 benchmark rate, adjusted forward for inflation. You may now skip to Worksheet 3 and enter the number in Line 220E on Line 300. Worksheet 3 will enable you to remove your equipment and installation costs from this per channel rate to determine what your maximum permitted program service rate should be. If your September 30, 1992 Base Rate Per Channel (Line 210) is greater than the September 30, 1992 Benchmark Channel Rate (Line 220), your maximum permitted rate will be your September 30, 1992 Base Rate Per Channel, reduced by 10 percent or to the benchmark, whichever yields the higher rate. To compute this rate, you will need to complete Line 230. Line 230 - Reduced Base Rate Per Channel. Multiply your September 30, 1992 Base Rate Per Channel (Line 210) times 0.9 to reduce that rate by 10 percent; enter the resulting number in the box in Line 230. Then, take the greater of the September 30, 1992 benchmark (Line 220) and the reduced rate per channel you have just computed in Line 230 and enter it in Line 300 on Worksheet 3.

IOU INSTRUCTIONS FOR IDENTIFYING THE APPROPRIATE BENCHMARK RATE FROM THE TABLES IN ATTACHMENT A 1. Each table is split between two pages. For example, the table for 50 subscribers has a first page showing the benchmark rate for 5-24 channels and 0-24 satellite channels. The second page for the table with 50 subscribers shows the benchmark rate for 25-100 channels and 0-100 satellite channels. Seled the table with the number of subscribers closest to the number of subscribers on your system. Note that all systems with 10,000 or more subscribers will use the tables for systems with 10,000 subscribers. 2. If the total number of channels on the regulated tiers and the total number of satellite channels on those regulated tiers for your community unit equals the channels displayed in the seleded table, use the indicated benchmark rate per channels. 3. If either the total number of channels on the regulated tiers or the total number of satellite channels on those regulated tiers for your community unit does not equal the channels displayed in the seleded table, you may determine your benchmark rate per channel by using the Commission's formula, or you can perform one of the following calculations. a. If the total number of satellite channels on the regulated tiers equals the satellite channels (rows), but the total number of channels on the regulated tiers does not equal the total channels (columns), you must do the following calculations: Go to the row with your number of satellite channels. Go across the row until you reach the rates for the next fewer and next greater total number of channels than on your community unit. 5ubtrad the lower rate per channel from the higher rate per channel. Divide this difference by 5 to obtain the per channel rate increment. For each channel on your community unit that is greater than the number of channels displayed in the table, subtract the incremental per channel rate from the rate per channel in the box with the next fewer number of total channels to obtain the benchmark rate per channel. For example, consider a community unit with 50 subscribers on the system, 10 satellite channels, and 27 channels in total. For 10 satellite channels and 25 total channels the benchmark rate per channel (from the table) is $0.880. The benchmark rate per channel for 10 satellite channels and 30 total channels is $0.748 (from the table). The difference between these two benchmark rates is $0.132. The per channel rate increment is $0.026 ($0.132/5 - $0.026 per channel). The benchmark rate per channel for this community unit is obtained by subtracting two times $0.026 from $0.880. Thus, the benchmark rate per channel for this community unit is $0.828 _ ($0.880 _ (2 x $0.026)). b. If the total number of channels on the regulated tiers equals the total channels (columns) but the total number of satellite channels on the regulated tiers does not equal the total satellite channels (rows), you must do the following calculation: Go to the column with your number of total channels. Go down the column until you reach the rates for the next fewer and next greater total number of satellite channels than on your community unit. 5ubtrad the lower rate per channel from the higher rate per channel. Divide this difference by 5 to obtain the per channel rate increment. For each satellite channel on your community unit that is greater than the number of channels displayed in the table, add the incremental per channel rate to the rate per channel in the box with the next fewer number of total channels to obtain the benchmark rate per channel. For example, consider a community unit with 50 subscribers on the system, 12 satellite channels, and 30 channels in total. For 10 satellite channels and 30 total channels the benchmark rate per channel (from the table) is $0.748. The benchmark rate per channel for 15 satellite channels and 30 total channels is $0.779 (from the table). The difference between these two benchmark rates is $0.031. The per channel rate increment is $0.0062 ($0.031/5 - $0.0062 per channel). The benchmark rate per channel for this community unit is obtained by adding two times $0.0062 to $0.748. Thus, the benchmark rate per channel for this community unit is $0.760 _ ($0.748 + (2 x $0.0062)). c. If both the total number of satellite channels and the total number of channels on the regulated tiers fall between the channels on the table, you must do the following calculation: Go to the two rows of satellite channels that are below and above, respedively, you number of satellite channels. Go across the rows until you reach the rates for the next fewer and next greater total number of channels than on your community unit. Compute rates per channel as per step a. above separately for the exact number of total channels for the two rows of satellite channels. Repeat step b. above using these two new rates per channel for the total number of channels to obtain the benchmark rate per channel. For example, consider a community unit with 50 subscribers on the system, 12 satellite channels, and 27 channels in total. Perform step a. above for both 10 and 15 satellite channels. For 10 satellite channels and 25 total channels the benchmark rate per channel (from the table) is $0.880. The benchmark rate per channel for 10 satellite channels and 30 total channels is $0.748 (from the table). The difference between these two benchmark rates is $0.132. The per channel rate increment is $0.026 ($0.132/5 - $0.026 per channel). Therefore, the 10 satellite and 25 total channel rate of $0.880 is reduced by subtracting two times $0.026 from $0.880 to arrive at $0.828 ($0.880 - (2 x $0.026)) for a 10 satellite channel, 27 total channel benchmark rate. The same exercise is performed for 15 satellite channels at 25 and 30 total channels to arrive at a 15 satellite channel benchmark at 27 total channels. At 15 satellite and 30 total channels the price per channel is $0.916. At 15 satellite and 30 total channel the price per channel is $0.779. The difference is $0.137 (or $0.137/5 - $0.027Ichannel). So at 27 total channels, the rate for 15 satellite channels is $0.916 minus $0.054 (twice $0.027) or $0.862. There is now a range of $O.828/channel for 10 satellite channels and 27 total channels and $0.862 for 15 satellite also at 27 total channels. Perform step b. above using these new exact values for 27 total channels. The difference between $0.828/channel and $0.862/channel at 27 total channels is $0.034 (or $0.034/5 - $0.007Ichannel). For 12 satellite channels we add $0.014 (twice $0.007) to $0.828Ichannel to equal the benchmark rate of $0.842.

Multiply line 9 by the HSC listed in line 5. The result is the total annual cost for repairing and servicing this type of remote. Line 11. Add line 8 and line 10. The sum is the total annual cost for this type of remote. Line 12. list the total number of this type of remote that were in service on the last day you closed your books. Line 13. Divide line 11 by line 12. The result is the annual unit cost of this type of remote. Line 14. Divide line 13 by the number 12. The result will be the monthly cost of this type of remote. Line 14 will be the maximum monthly lease charge for this type of remote. Step D. Calculate the Charge for Leased Converter Boxes. The rental charge for a converter box is designed to recover the costs of providing and maintaining that type of converter box leased by a subscriber and includes a reasonable profit. Commission rules require an operator to calculate charges for each significantly different type of converter box. For example, an addressable converter box and a converter box that acts solely as a tuner would be considered significantly different. Therefore, you must repeat the calculations in lines 15-21 for each type of converter box listed in Schedule C. Attach extra sheets as needed. Line 15. list the total annual capital costs (depreciation, return on investment, and applicable taxes) of this type of converter box. This amount is taken from the appropriate line of Column J on Schedule C (the line number will differ depending on the number of different types of converter boxes offered by the cable system). Line 17. Multiply line 16 by the HSC listed in line 5. The result is the total annual cost for repairing and servicing this type of converter box. Line 16. List the number of hours you spend per year repairing and servicing this type of converter box. Attach an explanation or study for your calculations. Line 18. Add line 15 and line 17. The sum is the total annual cost for this type of converter box. Line 19. List the total number of this type of converter box that were in service on the last day you closed your books. Line 20. Divide line 18 by line 19. The result is the annual unit cost of this type of converter box. Line 21. Divide line 20 by the number 12. The result will be the monthly cost of this type of converter box. Line 21 will be the maximum monthly lease charge for this type of converter box. Step E. Calculate the Charge for Other Leased Equipment. The rental charge for other equipment is designed to recover the costs of providing and maintaining that equipment leased by a subscriber and includes a reasonable profit. Other equipment would include, for example, cable home wiring. An operator is permitted, but not required, to calculate charges for each significantly different type of other equipment. An operator choosing to establish charges for different types of other equipment must repeat the calculations in lines 22-28 for each type of other equipment listed in Schedule C. Attach extra sheets as needed. Line 22. list the total annual capital costs (depreciation, retum on investment, and applicable taxes) of other leased equipment. This amount is taken from the appropriate line of Column J on Schedule C (the line number will differ depending on the number of different types of other equipment offered by the cable system). Line 24. Multiply line 23 by the HSC listed in line 5. The result is the total annual cost for repairing and servicing other equipment. Line 23. list the number of hours you spend per year repairing and servicing this other equipment. Attach an explanation or study for your calculations. Line 25. Add line 22 and line 24. The sum is the total annual cost for other equipment. Line 26. list either the total number of units for this type of other equipment or the number of subscribers using this equipment, whichever is applicable, that were in service or using this equipment on the last day you closed your books. Line 27. Divide line 25 by line 26. The result is the annual unit cost of other equipment. Line 28. Divide line 27 by the number 12. The result will be the monthly cost of other equipment. line 28 will be the maximum monthly lease charge for other equipment. Step F: Calculate the Charge for Changing Service Tiers or Equipment. Charges for changing service tiers effected solely by coded entry on a computer terminal or by other similarly simple method shall be nominal. Enter your nominal charge in line 29. However, to prevent an uneconomic level of chum, an operator may propose an escalating scale of charges for customers changing service tiers more than two times in one year. If you choose to adopt such increased charges, please attach a list of the charges and an explanation of why these charges are reasonable. This list should also be attached to the cover sheet in Part I of this form. Charges for changes in service tiers or equipment that involve more than the simple methods described above shall be at actual cost. To calculate this charge. you may use one of the two altematives below. FCC 39] ChIt %1) ,,",-1"] line 30. If you elect to charge an hourly rate for changing service tiers, the rate shall be the HSC. Write the HSC of line 5 in line 30. Line 31. If you choose to develop an average charge for changing service tiers, multiply the HSC by the average time such changes take. Enter the result in line 31. Step G. Calculate the Franchise Area Monthly Equipment and Installation Costs for Adjustment of Regulated Service Rates. Equipment and service installation costs must be removed from charges for regulated service. To be consistent with the calculations of permitted rates, these costs must be presented at the franchise area level on a monthly basis. Line 32. Add maintenance and installation costs for customer equipment from line 3 of Step A to capital costs for customer equipment from Box 3, Schedule C. Line 33. Adjust line 32 to reflect equipment costs of the franchise area, if your accounting records are kept at a different level of organization. For example, if your accounting records cover franchise areas with similar subscriber equipment profiles, you may use a ratio of the number of subscribers in the franchise area to the total number of subscribers: line 33 - line 32 x franchise area subscribers/subscribers represented in line 32. Attach an explanation of the allocation method that you use. Line 34. Divide line 33 by the number 12. The result will be the monthly equipment and installation cost to be entered on Worksheet 3 in Part II of this form, line 301. Notes: 1. Charge for Additional Connections. Section 76.923(h) of the Commission's rules states that an operator shall recover the costs of installation of and equipment used with additional connections through the related equipment and installation charges. Step B calculates installation charges for additional connections, and Steps C, D, and E are used to calculate customer equipment charges, regardless of whether the equipment is used in conjunction with primary or additional connections. An operator may also recover additional programming costs imposed by a program supplier for service to additional outlets, as well as the costs of any necessary signal boosters located on a customer's premises that are associated with the additional connection. These may be recovered as a separate monthly charge for the additional connections. The charge for any signal boosters shall be calculated separately using the instructions for Step E for other customer equipment. Attach extra calculations to the Equipment and Installation Form and cover sheet as necessary. FCC 393 ..

Schedule A computes the capital costs for equipment necessary for maintenance and installation of cable facilities and cable service. It dOf'.5 not include the annual capital costs of customer premises equipment such as remotes and converter boxes included in Schedule C. (See instructions below.) 2. Column A lists the types of equipment for which capital cost information is required (including equipment owned and equipment held under capital or financing leases), such as vehicles and tools, and including other equipment used for installation and maintenance, which you may specify on the form. Maintenance facility refers to buildings, tools, and equipment necessary for the repair and maintenance of vehicles and equipment. 3. Column B requires you to state the gross book value for the categories listed in Column A as of the date you last closed your books. 4. Column C requires you to give the accumulated depreciation and amortization for each category of equipment on the gross book values listed in Column B as of the date used for Column B entries. 5. Column D requires you to give the deferred tax balance associated with the plant categories listed in Column A. (Generally, such amounts result from the use of faster depreciation write-offs for tax purposes than for financial reporting purposes.) Entities that do not pay income taxes ~ sole-proprietorships, partnerships, and subchapter S corporations) may not include an amount in this column. 6. Column E requires you to give the net book values for each category in Column A (Column B minus the sum of Columns C and D). 7. Column F allows for a reasonable retum to be calculated by multiplying the investment listed in Column E by a reasonable rate of retum. The Report and ~ states that the Commission will consider up to 11.25% as a not unreasonable rate of retum. If you choose a rate of retum that is higher than 11.25%, you must attach a justification for your choice. 8. Column G allows for federal and state income taxes payable by the cable entity. To allow for a reasonable after-tax rate of retum, it may be based on the grossed-up federal and state tax rates in effect. (The grossed-up rate is calculated as: Tax Rate / (1 - Tax Rate)). Entities that do not pay income taxes (e.g., sole proprietorships, partnerships, and subchapter S corporations) may not include an amount in this column. 9. Column H requires you to list the annual depreciation expense for each category of equipment in Column A. 10. Column I requires you to add Columns F, G, and H. 11. Add the totals in Column I and enter in Box 1. INSTRUCTIONS FOR SCHEDULE B ANNUAL OPERATING EXPENSES ASSOCIATED WITH MAINTENANCE AND INSTALLATION OF CABLE FACILITIES AND SERVICE, EXCLUDING DEPRECIATION Schedule B includes all annual operating expenses, excluding depreciation and amortization on capital and financing leases, for installation and maintenance of facilities and service for the 12 months ending as of the date you last closed your books. This schedule requires you to list your operating expenses, including salary and benefits, supplies, utilitifi!s, other taxes and any other applicable expenses. Other expenses included must be identified. The total is the sum of all operating expenses for installation and maintenance and should be entered in Box 2. INSTRUCTIONS FOR SCHEDULE C CAPITAL COSTS OF CUSTOMER EQUIPMENT 1. Schedule C includes the purchase cost of leased customer equipment, including acquisition price and incidental costs such as sales tax, financing and storage up to the time it is provided to the subscriber. ':1. In Column A list all customer equipment for which there is a separate charge, including different models of remote control units, different types of converter boxes, and other equipment. list separately each type of other equipment for which you plan to develop a separate charge. 3. In Column B give the gross book value of the listed equipment. The gross book value includes the cost of spare customer equipment that the operator keeps on hand for new customers or as replacement for broken equipment. 4. list the accumulated depreciation and amortization in Column C for each equipment category in Column A. 5. Column D requires you to give the deferred tax balance associated with the plant categories listed in Column A. (Generally, such amounts result from the use of faster depreciation write-offs for tax purposes than for financial reporting purposes.) Entities that do not pay income taxes ~ sole proprietorships, partnerships, and subchapter S corporations) may not include an amount in this column.
