                               PROSPECTUS SUMMARY


     The following summary contains a general discussion of our business, the
offering of Class A common stock and summary financial information. It likely
does not contain all the information that is important to you in making a
decision to purchase shares of the Class A common stock. For a more complete
understanding of the offering, you should read this entire prospectus and other
documents to which we refer. Unless otherwise stated, the information in this
prospectus assumes that the underwriters do not exercise their option to
purchase additional shares in the offering. References to "our", "us" and "we"
include Charter Communications, Inc., Charter Communications Holding Company,
LLC and the direct and indirect subsidiaries of Charter Communications Holding
Company, LLC, unless we indicate otherwise or the context otherwise requires.


                                  OUR BUSINESS


     We are the 4th largest operator of cable television systems in the United
States, serving approximately 6.2 million customers, after giving effect to our
pending acquisitions. We currently serve approximately 3.0 million customers.



     We offer a full range of traditional cable television services and have
begun to offer digital cable television services to customers in some of our
systems. Digital cable television is cable television service provided through
digital technology. Digital technology enables cable operators to increase the
channel capacity of cable systems by permitting a significantly increased number
of video signals to be transmitted over a cable system's existing bandwidth.
Channel capacity is the number of channels that can be simultaneously carried on
the cable system and is generally defined in terms of the number of analog
channels. Analog channels refer to communication channels on which the
information is transmitted in a non-digital format, which means data is
transmitted in a manner similar to the original signals. Bandwidth is a measure
of the information-carrying capacity of a communication channel. It is the range
of usable frequencies that can be carried by a cable system.



     We have also started to introduce a number of other new products and
services, including interactive video programming, which allows information to
flow in both directions, and high-speed Internet access to the World Wide Web.
We are also exploring opportunities in telephony, which will integrate telephone
services with the Internet through the use of cable. The introduction of these
new services represents an important step toward the realization of our "wired
world" vision, where cable's ability to transmit voice, video and data at high
speeds will enable it to serve as the primary platform for the delivery of new
services to the home and workplace. We are accelerating the upgrade of our
systems to more quickly provide these new services.



     We have grown rapidly over the past five years. During this period, our
management team has successfully completed 26 acquisitions, including six
acquisitions closed in 1999. We also merged with Marcus Cable Holdings, LLC in
April 1999. In addition, we have entered into agreements to acquire additional
cable systems with approximately 3.2 million customers. We have also expanded
our customer base through significant internal growth. In 1998, our internal
customer growth, without giving effect to the cable systems we acquired in that
year, was 4.8%, more than twice the national industry average of 1.7%. In 1997,
our internal customer growth, without giving effect to the cable systems we
acquired in that year, was 3.5%, significantly higher than the national industry
average of 2.0%.



     Pro forma for our merger with Marcus Holdings and for completed and pending
acquisitions, our 1998 revenues were $2.7 billion. On the same pro forma basis,
for the six months ended June 30, 1999, our revenues were $1.4 billion. Without
giving effect to the cable systems we acquired in 1998, we increased revenues,
as compared to 1997, by 9.5%.

                               BUSINESS STRATEGY


     Our objective is to increase our operating cash flow by increasing our
customer base and the amount of cash flow per customer. To achieve this
objective, we are pursuing the following strategies:


     - rapidly integrate acquired cable systems and apply our core operating
       strategies to raise the financial and operating performance of these
       acquired systems;

     - expand the array of services we offer to our customers through the
       implementation of our "wired world" vision;


     - upgrade the bandwidth capacity of our systems to 550 megahertz or greater
       to enable greater channel capacity and add two-way capability to
       facilitate interactive communication. Two-way capability is the ability
       to have bandwidth available for upstream or two-way communication;


     - maximize customer satisfaction by providing reliable, high-quality
       service offerings, superior customer service and attractive programming
       choices at reasonable rates;

     - employ innovative marketing programs tailored to local customer
       preferences to generate additional sales;


     - emphasize local management autonomy to better serve our customers while
       providing support from regional and corporate offices and maintaining
       centralized financial controls; and



     - improve the geographic clustering of our cable systems by selectively
       trading or acquiring systems to increase operating efficiencies and
       improve operating margins. Clusters refer to cable systems under common
       ownership which are located within geographic proximity to each other.


                                  ORGANIZATION

     The chart on the following page sets forth our corporate structure as of

     - Mr. Allen, through Vulcan Cable III Inc., has purchased a total of

     - all of our pending acquisitions have been completed;



     - specified sellers in our pending Rifkin, Falcon and Bresnan acquisitions,
       who will receive or have the right to receive a portion of their purchase
       price in Charter Communications Holding Company, LLC membership units

       granted to our chief executive officer have been exercised.

PENDING ACQUISITIONS



     In addition to the recent acquisitions described above, since the beginning
of 1999, we have entered into agreements to acquire additional cable systems.
The total purchase price for these acquisitions will be approximately $12.3
billion, including assumed debt. This includes the exchange with another cable
service provider of certain of our cable television systems with a fair market
value of $0.4 billion for cable systems that we can operate more efficiently
because of their geographic proximity to our other systems. As of June 30, 1999,
the systems to be acquired by us, net of systems to be exchanged, served a total
of approximately 3.2 million customers.

For the year ended December 31, 1998, these systems had revenues of
approximately $1.4 billion. The following table is a breakdown of our pending

MERGER WITH MARCUS HOLDINGS



     On April 23, 1998, Paul G. Allen acquired approximately 99% of the
non-voting economic interests in Marcus Cable Company, L.L.C., and agreed to
acquire the remaining interests in Marcus Cable. The aggregate purchase price
was approximately $1.4 billion, excluding $1.8 billion in assumed debt. On
February 22, 1999, Marcus Holdings was formed, and all of Mr. Allen's interests
in Marcus Cable were transferred to Marcus Holdings on March 15, 1999. On March
31, 1999, Mr. Allen completed the acquisition of all remaining interests of
Marcus Cable. On April 7, 1999, Mr. Allen merged Marcus Holdings into Charter
Communications Holdings, L.L.C. Charter Holdings survived the merger, and the
operating subsidiaries of Marcus Holdings became subsidiaries of Charter
Holdings.

</TABLE>



     In calculating the number of shares of each class of our common stock and
the membership units in Charter Communications Holding Company that will be
outstanding after the offering, we have made the same assumptions described on
page 3 with respect to our organizational chart.



     Shares of Class B common stock are convertible into, and membership units
of Charter Communications Holding Company not owned by CCI, Vulcan Cable III or
Charter Investment are exchangeable for, shares of Class A common stock at any
time on a one-for-one basis. Charter Communications Holding Company membership
units held by Vulcan Cable III and Charter Investment are exchangeable for
shares of Class B common stock at any time on a one-for-one basis. If,
immediately following the offering, Mr. Allen converted his Class B common stock
into Class A common stock, and Charter Investment and Vulcan Cable III exchanged
their common membership units for Class B common stock and converted the shares
of Class B common stock so received into Class A common stock, they together
would own approximately      % of our Class A common stock. See "Description of
Capital Stock and Membership Units".

(a) Charter Investment provided corporate management and consulting services to
    subsidiaries of Charter Operating during 1998 and 1999 and to subsidiaries
    of Marcus Holdings beginning in October 1998. See "Certain Relationships and
    Related Transactions".

(b) EBITDA represents earnings (loss) before interest, income taxes,
    depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is presented because it is a widely
    accepted financial indicator of a cable television company's ability to
    service indebtedness. However, EBITDA should not be considered as an
    alternative to income from operations or to cash flows from operating,
    investing or financing activities, as determined in accordance with
    generally accepted accounting principles. EBITDA should also not be
    construed as an indication of a company's operating performance or as a
    measure of liquidity. Management's discretionary use of funds depicted by
    EBITDA may be limited by working capital, debt service and capital
    expenditure requirements and by restrictions related to legal requirements,
    commitments and uncertainties.

(c) EBITDA margin represents EBITDA as a percentage of revenues.


(d) Adjusted EBITDA means EBITDA before stock option compensation expense,
    corporate expenses, management fees and other income (expense). Adjusted
    EBITDA is presented because it is a widely accepted financial indicator of a
    cable company's ability to service its indebtedness. However, Adjusted
    EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to income from operations
    or to cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities, as
    determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
    Adjusted EBITDA should also not be construed as an indication of a company's
    operating performance or as a measure of liquidity. In addition, because
    Adjusted EBITDA is not calculated identically by all companies, the
    presentation here may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures
    of other companies. Management's discretionary use of funds depicted by
    Adjusted EBITDA may be limited by working capital, debt service and capital
    expenditure requirements and by restrictions related to legal requirements,
    commitments and uncertainties.



(e) Homes passed are the number of living units, such as single residence homes,
    apartments and condominium units, passed by the cable television
    distribution network in a given cable system service area.



(f) Basic customers are customers who receive basic cable service.



(g) Basic penetration represents basic customers as a percentage of homes
    passed.



(h) Premium units represent the total number of subscriptions to premium
    channels.



(i) Premium penetration represents premium units as a percentage of basic
    customers.



(j) Average monthly revenue per basic customer represents revenues divided by
    the number of months in the period divided by the number of basic customers
    at period end.

                                  RISK FACTORS


     An investment in our Class A common stock entails the following risks. You
should carefully consider these risk factors, as well as the other information
in this prospectus.



                                  OUR BUSINESS



WE HAVE SUBSTANTIAL EXISTING DEBT AND WILL INCUR SUBSTANTIAL ADDITIONAL DEBT,
WHICH COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR FINANCIAL HEALTH, AND AFFECT OUR ABILITY TO
OBTAIN FINANCING IN THE FUTURE AND REACT TO CHANGES IN OUR BUSINESS.



     We have a significant amount of debt. As of June 30, 1999, pro forma for
our pending acquisitions and recent acquisitions completed since that date, our
total debt was approximately $11.6 billion and our total stockholders' equity
was approximately $2.4 billion. Our significant amount of debt could have
important consequences to you. For example, it could:


     - make it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations under our credit
       facilities and to our noteholders;


     - increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and cable industry
       conditions, including interest rate fluctuations, because much of our
       borrowings are and will continue to be at variable rates of interest;



     - require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from
       operations to payments on our debt, which will reduce our funds available
       for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions of additional
       systems and other general corporate expenses;


     - limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our
       business and the cable industry generally;

     - place us at a disadvantage compared to our competitors that have
       proportionately less debt; and


     - limit our ability to borrow additional funds in the future, if we need
       them, due to applicable financial and restrictive covenants in such debt.



     We anticipate incurring significant additional debt in the future to fund
the expansion, maintenance and upgrade of our systems. We may also incur debt to
finance pending or additional acquisitions. If new debt is added to our current
debt levels, the related risks that we and you now face could intensify.



THE AGREEMENTS AND INSTRUMENTS GOVERNING OUR DEBT CONTAIN RESTRICTIONS AND
LIMITATIONS WHICH COULD SIGNIFICANTLY IMPACT OUR ABILITY TO OPERATE OUR
BUSINESS.



     Our credit facilities and the indentures governing our notes contain a
number of significant covenants that could adversely impact our business. These
covenants, among other things, restrict the ability of our subsidiaries to:



     - pay dividends;



     - pledge assets;



     - dispose of assets or merge;



     - incur additional debt;



     - issue equity;



     - repurchase or redeem equity interests and debt;



     - create liens; and



     - make certain investments or acquisitions.


                                       12
<PAGE>   17


Furthermore, in accordance with our credit facilities, we are required to
maintain specified financial ratios and meet financial tests. The ability to
comply with these provisions may be affected by events beyond our control. The
breach of any of these covenants will result in a default under the applicable
debt agreement or instrument.



OUR ABILITY TO GENERATE THE SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF CASH NEEDED TO SERVICE OUR
DEBT AND GROW OUR BUSINESS DEPENDS ON MANY FACTORS BEYOND OUR CONTROL.



     Our ability to make payments on our debt and to fund our planned capital
expenditures for upgrading our cable systems and for other purposes will depend
on our ability to generate cash and secure financing in the future. This, to a
certain extent, is subject to general economic, financial, competitive,
legislative, regulatory and other factors that are beyond our control. If our
business does not generate sufficient cash flow from operations, and sufficient
future borrowings are not available to us under our credit facilities or from
other sources of financing, we may not be able to repay our debt, to grow our
business or to fund our other liquidity needs.



WE HAVE GROWN RAPIDLY AND HAVE A LIMITED HISTORY OF OPERATING OUR CURRENT
SYSTEMS. THIS MAKES IT DIFFICULT FOR YOU TO COMPLETELY EVALUATE OUR PERFORMANCE.



     We commenced active operations in 1994 and have grown rapidly since then
through acquisitions of cable systems. As of June 30, 1999, giving effect to
pending acquisitions and recent acquisitions closed since June 30, 1999, our
systems served approximately 387% more customers than were served as of December
31, 1998. As a result, historical financial information about us may not be
indicative of the future or of results that we can achieve with the cable
systems which will be under our control. Our recent growth in revenue and growth
in EBITDA over our short operating history is not necessarily indicative of
future performance.


WE HAVE A HISTORY OF NET LOSSES AND EXPECT TO CONTINUE TO EXPERIENCE NET LOSSES.
CONSEQUENTLY, WE MAY NOT HAVE THE ABILITY TO FINANCE FUTURE OPERATIONS.


     We have had a history of net losses and expect to continue to report net
losses for the foreseeable future. We reported net losses from continuing
operations before extraordinary items of $5 million for 1997, $23 million for
1998 and $216 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999. On a pro forma
basis, giving effect to the merger of Charter Holdings and Marcus Holdings and
our recent and pending acquisitions, we had net losses from continuing
operations, before extraordinary items and minority interest of $1.5 billion for
1998. For the six months ended June 30, 1999, on the same pro forma basis, we
had net losses from continuing operations before extraordinary items of $726
million. We expect our net losses to increase as a result of the merger of
Charter Holdings with Marcus Holdings and our recent and pending acquisitions.
We cannot predict what impact, if any, continued losses will have on our ability
to finance our operations in the future.


IF WE ARE UNSUCCESSFUL IN IMPLEMENTING OUR GROWTH STRATEGY, OUR FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS COULD BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED.


     We expect that a substantial portion of our future growth will be achieved
through revenues from new products and services and the acquisition of
additional cable systems. We may not be able to offer these new products and
services successfully to our customers and these new products and services may
not generate adequate revenues. In addition, we cannot predict the success of
our acquisition strategy. In the past year, the cable television industry has
undergone dramatic consolidation which has reduced the number of future
acquisition prospects. This consolidation may increase the purchase price of
future acquisitions, and we may not be successful in identifying attractive
acquisition targets in the future. Additionally, those acquisitions we do
complete are not likely to have a positive net impact on our operating results
in the near


                                       13
<PAGE>   18


future. If we are unable to grow our cash flow sufficiently, we may be unable to
repay our debt, to grow our business or to fund our other liquidity needs.


OUR PROGRAMMING COSTS ARE INCREASING. WE MAY NOT HAVE THE ABILITY TO PASS THESE
INCREASES ON TO OUR CUSTOMERS, WHICH WOULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR CASH FLOW AND
OPERATING MARGINS.


     Programming has been, and is expected to continue to be, our largest single
expense item. In recent years, the cable industry has experienced a rapid
escalation in the cost of programming, particularly sports programming. This
escalation may continue and we may not be able to pass programming cost
increases on to our customers. In addition, as we upgrade the channel capacity
of our systems, add programming to our basic and expanded basic programming
tiers, and reposition premium services to the basic tier, we may face additional
market constraints on our ability to pass programming costs on to our customers.
Basic programming includes a variety of entertainment and local programming.
Expanded basic programming offers more services than basic programming. Premium
service includes unedited, commercial-free movies, sports and other special
event entertainment programming. The inability to pass these programming cost
increases on to our customers will have an adverse impact on our cash flow and
operating margins.



WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO OBTAIN CAPITAL SUFFICIENT TO FUND OUR PLANNED UPGRADES AND
OTHER CAPITAL EXPENDITURES. THIS COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR ABILITY TO OFFER NEW
PRODUCTS AND SERVICES, WHICH COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR GROWTH, FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.



     We intend to upgrade a significant portion of our cable systems over the
coming years and make other capital investments. For the three years ending
December 31, 2002, we plan to spend approximately $5.5 billion for capital
expenditures, approximately $2.9 billion of which will be used to upgrade and
rebuild our systems to bandwidth capacity of 550 megahertz or greater and add
two-way capability so that we may offer advanced services. The remaining $2.6
billion will be used to maintain and expand the systems we own and the systems
we will acquire. We cannot assure you that these amounts will be sufficient to
accomplish our planned system upgrades, maintenance and expansion. If we cannot
obtain the necessary funds from increases in our operating cash flow, additional
borrowings or other sources, we may not be able to fund our planned upgrades and
expansion and offer new products and services on a timely basis. Consequently,
our growth, our financial condition and the results of our operations could
suffer materially.



WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO FUND THE CAPITAL EXPENDITURES NECESSARY TO KEEP PACE WITH
TECHNOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENTS OR OUR CUSTOMERS' DEMAND FOR NEW PRODUCTS OR
SERVICES. THIS COULD LIMIT OUR ABILITY TO COMPETE EFFECTIVELY.



     The cable business is characterized by rapid technological change and the
introduction of new products and services. We cannot assure you that we will be
able to fund the capital expenditures necessary to keep pace with technological
developments, or that we will successfully anticipate the demand of our
customers for products or services requiring new technology. This type of rapid
technological change could adversely affect our plans to upgrade or expand our
systems and respond to competitive pressures. Our inability to upgrade, maintain
and expand our systems and provide enhanced services in a timely manner, or to
anticipate the demands of the market place, could adversely affect our ability
to compete. Consequently, our growth, results of operation and financial
condition could suffer materially.


                                       14
<PAGE>   19


WE MAY BE UNABLE TO NEGOTIATE CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS ON FAVORABLE TERMS AND OUR
CONSTRUCTION COSTS MAY INCREASE SIGNIFICANTLY. THIS COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR
GROWTH, FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.



     The expansion and upgrade of our existing systems and the systems we plan
to acquire in our pending acquisitions will require us to hire contractors and
enter into a number of construction agreements. We may have difficulty hiring
civil contractors, and the contractors we hire may encounter cost overruns or
delays in construction. Our construction costs may increase significantly over
the next few years as existing contracts expire and as demand for cable
construction services continues to grow. We cannot assure you that we will be
able to construct new systems or expand or upgrade existing or acquired systems
in a timely manner or at a reasonable cost. This may adversely affect our
growth, financial condition and results of operations.



WE MAY NOT HAVE THE ABILITY TO INTEGRATE THE NEW SYSTEMS THAT WE ACQUIRE AND THE
CUSTOMERS THEY SERVE WITH OUR EXISTING SYSTEMS. THIS COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR
OPERATING RESULTS AND GROWTH STRATEGY.



     Upon the completion of our pending acquisitions, we will own and operate
cable systems serving approximately 6.2 million customers, as compared to the
cable systems we currently own which served approximately 3.0 million customers
as of June 30, 1999. In addition, we may acquire more cable systems in the
future, through system swaps or otherwise. The integration of our new cable
systems poses a number of significant risks, including:



     - our acquisitions may not have a positive impact on our cash flows from
       operations;



     - the integration of these new systems and customers will place significant
       demands on our management and our operations, information services, and
       financial, legal and marketing resources. Our current operating and
       financial systems and controls and information services may not be
       adequate, and any steps taken to improve these systems and controls may
       not be sufficient;


     - our current information systems may be incompatible with the information
       systems we have acquired or plan to acquire. We may be unable to
       integrate these information systems at a reasonable cost or in a timely
       manner;


     - acquired businesses sometimes result in unexpected liabilities and
       contingencies which could be significant; and



     - our continued growth will also increase our need for qualified personnel.
       We may not be able to hire such additional qualified personnel.


     We cannot assure you that we will successfully integrate any acquired
systems into our operations.

WE MAY BE UNABLE TO OBTAIN CAPITAL SUFFICIENT TO CONSUMMATE OUR PENDING
ACQUISITIONS.


     Our subsidiaries have entered into six agreements to acquire the equity
and/or assets of other cable operators for a total purchase price of
approximately $12.3 billion, including $2.3 billion in assumed debt. The cash
component of the total purchase price will be reduced by equity rollovers valued
between $1.45 billion and $1.8 billion. The proceeds from the offering, Mr.
Allen's equity contributions, through Vulcan Cable III, to Charter
Communications Holding Company, borrowings under our revolving credit facilities
and cash will not be sufficient to consummate these acquisitions. Accordingly,
we will require additional funds in connection with the acquisitions. See
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations -- Liquidity and Capital Resources". We also may require additional
funds for any or all of the following reasons:



     - Specified sellers in the Rifkin acquisition may elect to receive part of
       their purchase price in membership units in Charter Communications
       Holding Company and specified sellers in


                                       15
<PAGE>   20


       the Falcon acquisition may elect to receive more of the purchase price in
       membership units than the minimum number of membership units they are
       required to receive under the acquisition agreement. If these sellers do
       not make these elections, the amount of cash we will need to consummate
       these acquisitions will increase by up to $350 million.



     - Following consummation of the Rifkin, Avalon, Falcon and Bresnan
       acquisitions, we will be required to make an offer to repurchase the
       notes issued by Rifkin, Avalon, Falcon and Bresnan under the indentures
       governing these notes. Additionally, we are required by the terms of the
       indentures governing the Helicon notes to make an offer to repurchase the
       Helicon notes within the forty-five business days of the closing of the
       Helicon acquisition. We may also be required to repay debt under the
       Avalon and Bresnan credit facilities. We will need capital sufficient to
       consummate these repurchases and repayments.


     - We may complete additional acquisitions.


     If we fail to consummate any of these acquisitions because we can not
obtain financing, we would likely be subject to breach of contract and other
claims that could materially adversely affect our operating results.



THERE SHOULD BE NO EXPECTATION THAT MR. ALLEN WILL FUND OUR OPERATIONS OR
OBLIGATIONS IN THE FUTURE.



     In the past, Mr. Allen and/or his affiliates have contributed equity to
Charter Investment and Charter Communications Holding Company. Pursuant to a
membership interests purchase agreement, as amended, Vulcan Cable III
contributed $500 million on August 10, 1999 to Charter Communications Holding
Company, and agreed to contribute an additional $825 million, which will be in
the form of cash and, upon the Rifkin acquisition closing, certain equity
interests to be acquired in connection with that acquisition. In addition, Mr.
Allen, through Vulcan Cable III, has also agreed to make a $750 million equity
contribution to Charter Communications Holding Company at the closing of the
offering. Other than as described in this prospectus, there can be no
expectation that Mr. Allen or his affiliates will contribute funds to us or to
our subsidiaries in the future.


THE FAILURE TO OBTAIN NECESSARY REGULATORY APPROVALS, OR TO SATISFY OTHER
CLOSING CONDITIONS, COULD IMPEDE THE CONSUMMATION OF A PENDING ACQUISITION. THIS
WOULD PREVENT OR DELAY OUR STRATEGY TO EXPAND OUR BUSINESS AND INCREASE
REVENUES.


     Our pending acquisitions are subject to federal, state and local regulatory
approvals. We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain any necessary
approvals. These pending acquisitions are also subject to a number of other
closing conditions. We cannot assure you as to when, or if, each such
acquisition will be consummated. Any delay, prohibition or modification could
adversely affect the terms of a pending acquisition or could require us to
abandon an otherwise attractive opportunity and possibly forfeit earnest money.


OUR PENDING ACQUISITIONS MAY NOT BE CONSUMMATED AND IF NOT CONSUMMATED, OUR
MANAGEMENT WILL HAVE BROAD DISCRETION WITH RESPECT TO THE USE OF THE PROCEEDS
ALLOCATED TO SUCH ACQUISITIONS.

     The consummation of each of our pending acquisitions is subject to a number
of conditions. If these conditions are not materially met, the relevant
acquisition may not be consummated. We cannot assure you that any or all of
these acquisitions will be consummated on the terms described in this
prospectus, or at all. This offering is not contingent or in any way dependent
on the consummation of any or all of these acquisitions. If any of these
acquisitions is not consummated, a significant portion of the net proceeds from
the offering will not be designated for a specific use. In these circumstances,
our management will have broad discretion with respect to the use of the
proceeds of the offering and you will not have the opportunity, as part of your
investment decision, to assess whether the proceeds are being used
appropriately.

                                       16
<PAGE>   21


WE OPERATE IN A VERY COMPETITIVE BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT WHICH CAN ADVERSELY AFFECT
OUR BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS.



     The industry in which we operate is highly competitive. In some instances,
we compete against companies with fewer regulatory burdens, easier access to
financing, greater personnel resources, greater brand name recognition and
long-standing relationships with regulatory authorities. Mergers, joint ventures
and alliances among cable television operators, regional telephone companies,
long distance telephone service providers, electric utilities, local exchange
carriers, which are local phone companies that provide local area telephone
services and access to long distance services to customers, providers of
cellular and other wireless communications services, Internet service providers
and others may result in providers capable of offering cable television and
other telecommunications services in direct competition with us.



     We face competition within the subscription television industry, which
includes providers of paid television service employing technologies other than
cable, and excludes broadcast companies that transmit their signal to customers
without assessing a subscription fee. We also face competition from broadcast
companies distributing television broadcast signals without assessing a
subscription fee and from other communications and entertainment media,
including conventional off-air television and radio broadcasting services,
newspapers, movie theaters, the Internet, live sports events and home video
products. We cannot assure you that upgrading our cable systems will allow us to
compete effectively. Additionally, as we expand and introduce new and enhanced
services, including Internet and additional telecommunications services, we will
be subject to competition from other telecommunications providers and Internet
service providers. We cannot predict the extent to which this competition may
affect our business and operations in the future.



DATA PROCESSING FAILURES AFTER DECEMBER 31, 1999 COULD SIGNIFICANTLY DISRUPT OUR
OPERATIONS, CAUSING A DECLINE IN CASH FLOW AND REVENUES AND OTHER DIFFICULTIES.



     The year 2000 problem affects our owned and licensed computer systems and
equipment used in connection with internal operations. It also affects our
non-information technology systems, including embedded systems in our buildings
and other infrastructure. Additionally, since we rely directly and indirectly,
in the regular course of business, on the proper operation and compatibility of
third-party systems, the year 2000 problem could cause these systems to fail,
err or become incompatible with our systems.



     Much of our assessment efforts regarding the year 2000 problem has
involved, and depends on, inquiries to third party service providers. Some of
these third parties that have certified the readiness of their products will not
certify that such products have operating compatibility with our systems. If we,
or a significant third party with whom we communicate and do business through
computers, fails to become year 2000 ready, or if the year 2000 problem causes
our systems to become internally incompatible or incompatible with key third
party systems, our business could suffer material disruptions. We could also
face disruptions if the year 2000 problem causes general widespread problems or
an economic crisis. We cannot now estimate the extent of these potential
disruptions. We cannot assure you that our efforts to date and our ongoing
efforts to prepare for the year 2000 problem will be sufficient to prevent a
material disruption of our operations, particularly with respect to systems we
may acquire prior to December 31, 1999. As a result of any such disruption, our
growth, financial condition and results of operations could suffer materially.


MR. ALLEN HAS THE ABILITY TO CONTROL MATTERS ON WHICH CCI'S STOCKHOLDERS MAY
VOTE.


     Following the offering, Mr. Allen will own high vote Class B common stock
representing   % of the voting power of CCI's capital stock. CCI, as the sole
manager and owner of more than 50% of the voting power of Charter Communications
Holding Company, will control Charter


                                       17
<PAGE>   22


Communications Holding Company. Accordingly, Mr. Allen will have the ability to
control fundamental corporate transactions requiring equity holder approval,
including, without limitation, the election of all of our directors and approval
of merger transactions involving us and sales of all or substantially all of our
assets. Control by Mr. Allen may have the effect of preventing or discouraging
transactions involving an actual or potential change of control. This may
include a transaction in which holders of Class A common stock might otherwise
receive a premium for their shares over the then-current market price.


MR. ALLEN MAY HAVE INTERESTS THAT CONFLICT WITH YOUR INTERESTS.


     Through his direct ownership of shares of our high vote Class B common
stock and indirect ownership of membership units in Charter Communications
Holding Company and his service as Chairman of our board of directors Mr. Allen
has the ability to control management and fundamental corporate transactions
requiring equity holder approval, including without limitation, election of
directors, approval of potential acquisitions of businesses, merger transactions
involving us, sales of all or substantially all of our assets, the disposition
of securities and the payment of dividends. His control position could create
conflicts of interest if he is faced with decisions that could have implications
both for him personally or other entities in which he has an interest and for us
and the holders of Class A common stock. Further, through his effective control
of our management and affairs, Mr. Allen could cause us to enter into contracts
with another corporation in which he owns an interest or cause us to decline a
transaction that he or an entity in which he owns an interest ultimately enters
into.



     Mr. Allen may engage in other businesses involving the operation of cable
television systems, video programming, high-speed Internet access or electronic
commerce, which is business and financial transactions conducted through
broadband interactivity and Internet services. Mr. Allen may also engage through
one or more of his affiliates in other businesses that compete or may in the
future compete with us. In addition, Mr. Allen currently engages and may engage
in the future in businesses that are complementary to our cable television
business. Accordingly, conflicts could arise with respect to the allocation of
corporate opportunities between us and Mr. Allen's affiliates. Current or future
agreements between us and Mr. Allen may not be the result of arm's-length
negotiations. Consequently, such agreements may be less favorable to us than
agreements that we could otherwise have entered into with unaffiliated third
parties. Further, many past and future transactions with Mr. Allen or his
affiliates are informal in nature and, therefore, costs and benefits are not
formally allocated among the parties to the transactions. As a result, there
inevitably will be some discretion left to the parties, who are subject to the
potentially conflicting interests described above.



     We have not instituted any formal plans to address conflicts of interest
that may arise.



WE ARE NOT PERMITTED TO ENGAGE IN ANY BUSINESS ACTIVITY OTHER THAN THE CABLE
TRANSMISSION OF VIDEO, AUDIO AND DATA UNLESS MR. ALLEN FIRST DETERMINES NOT TO
PURSUE THAT PARTICULAR BUSINESS ACTIVITY. THIS COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR
ABILITY TO OFFER NEW PRODUCTS AND SERVICES OUTSIDE OF THE CABLE TRANSMISSION
BUSINESS AND ENTER INTO NEW BUSINESSES, WHICH COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR GROWTH,
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.



     CCI's certificate of incorporation and Charter Communications Holding
Company's operating agreement will provide that, until all of the shares of
Class B common stock held by Mr. Allen have automatically converted into shares
of Class A common stock in accordance with CCI's certificate of incorporation,
CCI and Charter Communications Holding Company, including their subsidiaries
cannot engage in any business activity outside the cable transmission business,
unless the opportunity to pursue the particular business activity is first
offered to Mr. Allen, he decides not to pursue it and he consents to our
engaging in the business activity. The cable transmission business means the
business of transmitting video, audio, including telephone services, and data on
television systems owned, operated or managed by us from time to time.


                                       18
<PAGE>   23

These provisions may limit our ability to take advantage of attractive business
opportunities. Consequently, our ability to offer new products and services
outside of the cable transmission business and enter into new businesses could
be adversely affected, resulting in an adverse effect on our growth, financial
condition and results of operations. See "Certain Relationships and Related
Transactions -- Allocation of Business Opportunities with Mr. Allen".

MR. ALLEN'S CONTROL AND CCI'S ORGANIZATIONAL DOCUMENTS MAY INHIBIT OR PREVENT A
TAKEOVER THAT STOCKHOLDERS MAY CONSIDER FAVORABLE.

     Mr. Allen will have the ability to delay or prevent a change of control or
changes in our management that stockholders consider favorable or beneficial.
Provisions in our organizational documents may also have the effect of delaying
or preventing these changes, including provisions authorizing issuance of "blank
check" preferred stock, restricting the calling of special meetings of
stockholders and requiring advanced notice for proposals for stockholder
meetings. If a change of control or change in management is delayed or
prevented, the market price of our Class A common stock could suffer or holders
may not receive a premium over the then-current market price of the Class A
common stock.

THE LOSS OF KEY EXECUTIVES COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR ABILITY TO MANAGE OUR
BUSINESS.


     Our success is substantially dependent upon the retention, and the
continued performance of the Chairman of our board of directors, Mr. Allen, and
our Chief Executive Officer, Jerald L. Kent. The loss of the services of Mr.
Allen or Mr. Kent could adversely affect our financial condition and results of
operations.



                       REGULATORY AND LEGISLATIVE MATTERS



OUR BUSINESS IS SUBJECT TO EXTENSIVE GOVERNMENTAL LEGISLATION AND REGULATION.
THE APPLICABLE LEGISLATION AND REGULATIONS, AND CHANGES TO THEM, COULD ADVERSELY
AFFECT OUR BUSINESS BY INCREASING OUR EXPENSES.



     Regulation of the cable industry has increased the administrative and
operational expenses and limited the revenues of cable systems. Cable operators
are subject to, among other things:



     - limited rate regulation;


     - requirements that, under specified circumstances, a cable system carry a
       local broadcast station or obtain consent to carry a local or distant
       broadcast station;

     - rules for franchise renewals and transfers; and

     - other requirements covering a variety of operational areas such as equal
       employment opportunity, technical standards and customer service
       requirements.


     Additionally, many aspects of these regulations are currently the subject
of judicial proceedings and administrative or legislative proposals. There are
also ongoing efforts to amend or expand the state and local regulation of some
of our cable systems, which may compound the regulatory risks we already face.
We expect further efforts of this type, but cannot predict whether any of the
states or localities in which we now operate will expand regulation of our cable
systems in the future or how they will do so.



WE MAY BE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE ACCESS TO OUR NETWORKS TO OTHER INTERNET SERVICE
PROVIDERS. THIS COULD SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASE OUR COMPETITION AND ADVERSELY
AFFECT THE UPGRADE OF OUR SYSTEMS OR OUR ABILITY TO PROVIDE NEW PRODUCTS AND
SERVICES.



     There are proposals before the United States Congress and the Federal
Communications Commission to require all cable operators to make a portion of
their cable systems' bandwidth available to other Internet service providers,
such as telephone companies. Certain local


                                       19
<PAGE>   24


franchising authorities are considering or have already approved such "open
access" requirements. A federal district court in Portland, Oregon, recently
upheld the legality of an open access requirement. Recently, a number of
companies, including telephone companies and Internet service providers, have
requested local authorities and the Federal Communications Commission to require
cable operators to provide access to cable's broadband infrastructure, which
allows cable to deliver a multitude of channels and/or services, so that these
companies may deliver Internet services directly to customers over cable
facilities. Broward County, Florida recently granted open access to an Internet
service provider as a condition to a cable operator's transfer of its franchise
for cable service. The cable operator has commenced legal action at the federal
district court level. Allocating a portion of our bandwidth capacity to other
Internet service providers would impair our ability to use our bandwidth in ways
that would generate maximum revenues. In addition, our Internet service provider
competitors would be strengthened. We may also decide not to upgrade our systems
which would prevent us from introducing our planned new products and services.
In addition, we cannot assure you that if we were required to provide access in
this manner, it would not adversely impact our profitability in many ways,
including any or all of the following:


     - significantly increasing competition;

     - increasing the expenses we incur to maintain our systems; and

     - increasing the expense of upgrading and/or expanding our systems.


OUR CABLE SYSTEMS ARE OPERATED UNDER FRANCHISES WHICH ARE SUBJECT TO NON-RENEWAL
OR TERMINATION. THE FAILURE TO RENEW A FRANCHISE COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR
BUSINESS IN A KEY MARKET.



     Our cable systems generally operate pursuant to non-exclusive franchises,
permits or licenses typically granted by a municipality or other state or local
government controlling the public rights-of-way. Many franchises establish
comprehensive facilities and service requirements, as well as specific customer
service standards and establish monetary penalties for non-compliance. In many
cases, franchises are terminable if the franchisee fails to comply with material
provisions set forth in the franchise agreement governing system operations.
Franchises are generally granted for fixed terms and must be periodically
renewed. Local franchising authorities may resist granting a renewal if either
past performance or the prospective operating proposal is considered inadequate.
Franchise authorities often demand concessions or other commitments as a
condition to renewal, which have been and may continue to be costly to us. In
some instances, franchises have not been renewed at expiration, and we have
operated under either temporary operating agreements or without a license while
negotiating renewal terms with the local franchising authorities. We cannot
assure you that we will be able to renew these franchises in the future, and a
sustained failure to renew a franchise could adversely affect our business in
the affected geographic area.



WE OPERATE OUR CABLE SYSTEMS UNDER FRANCHISES WHICH ARE NON-EXCLUSIVE. LOCAL
FRANCHISING AUTHORITIES CAN GRANT ADDITIONAL FRANCHISES AND CREATE COMPETITION
IN MARKET AREAS WHERE NONE EXISTED PREVIOUSLY.



     Our cable systems are operated under franchises granted by local
franchising authorities. These franchises are non-exclusive. Consequently, such
local franchising authorities can grant additional franchises to competitors in
the same geographic area. As a result, competing operators may build systems in
areas in which we hold franchises. In some cases municipal utilities may legally
compete with us without obtaining a franchise from the local franchising
authority. The existence of more than one cable system operating in the same
territory is referred to as an overbuild. These overbuilds could adversely
affect our growth, financial condition and results of operations.


                                       20
<PAGE>   25


LOCAL FRANCHISE AUTHORITIES HAVE THE ABILITY TO IMPOSE ADDITIONAL REGULATORY
CONSTRAINTS ON OUR BUSINESS. THIS CAN FURTHER INCREASE OUR EXPENSES.



     In addition to the franchise document, cable authorities have also adopted
in some jurisdictions cable regulatory ordinances that further regulate the
operation of cable systems. This additional regulation increases our expenses in
operating our business. We cannot assure you that the local franchising
authorities will not impose new and more restrictive requirements.



     Local franchising authorities also have the power to reduce rates and order
refunds of basic service tier rates paid in the previous twelve-month period
determined to be in excess of the maximum permitted rates. Basic service tier
rates are the prices charged for basic programming services. As of June 30,
1999, we have refunded an aggregate amount of approximately $50,000 since our
inception. We may be required to refund additional amounts in the future.


DESPITE RECENT DEREGULATION OF EXPANDED BASIC CABLE PROGRAMMING PACKAGES, WE ARE
CONCERNED THAT CABLE RATE INCREASES COULD GIVE RISE TO FURTHER REGULATION. THIS
COULD IMPAIR OUR ABILITY TO RAISE RATES TO COVER OUR INCREASING COSTS OR CAUSE
US TO DELAY OR CANCEL SERVICE OR PROGRAMMING ENHANCEMENTS.


     On March 31, 1999, the pricing guidelines of expanded basic cable
programming packages were deregulated, permitting cable operators to set their
own rates. This deregulation was not applicable to basic services. However, the
Federal Communications Commission and the United States Congress continue to be
concerned that cable rate increases are exceeding inflation. It is possible that
either the Federal Communications Commission or the United States Congress will
again restrict the ability of cable television operators to implement rate
increases. Should this occur, it would impede our ability to raise our rates. If
we are unable to raise our rates in response to increasing costs, our financial
condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.


IF WE OFFER TELECOMMUNICATIONS SERVICES, WE MAY BE SUBJECT TO ADDITIONAL
REGULATORY BURDENS CAUSING US TO INCUR ADDITIONAL COSTS.


     If we enter the business of offering telecommunications services, we may be
required to obtain federal, state and local licenses or other authorizations to
offer these services. We may not be able to obtain such authorizations in a
timely manner, if at all, and conditions could be imposed upon such licenses or
authorizations that may not be favorable to us. Furthermore, telecommunications
companies, including Internet protocol telephony companies, which are companies
that have the ability to offer telephone services over the Internet, generally
are subject to significant regulation as well as higher fees for pole
attachments. Pole attachments are cable wires that are attached to poles. In
particular, cable operators who provide telecommunications services and cannot
reach agreement with local utilities over pole attachment rates in states that
do not regulate pole attachment rates will be subject to a methodology
prescribed by the Federal Communications Commission for determining the rates.
These rates may be higher than those paid by cable operators who do not provide
telecommunications services. The rate increases are to be phased in over a
five-year period beginning on February 8, 2001. If we become subject to
telecommunications regulation or higher pole attachment rates, we may incur
additional costs which may be material to our business.

                                  THE OFFERING


RISKS OF EXTREME VOLATILITY OF MARKET PRICE OF CLASS A COMMON STOCK.


     The initial public offering price that we determine, with the assistance of
the underwriters, may have no relation to the price at which the Class A common
stock trades after completion of the offering. Among the factors considered in
determining the initial public offering price of the shares, in addition to
prevailing market conditions, will be our historical performance, estimates of
our business potential and our earnings prospects, an assessment of our
management and the consideration of the above factors in relation to market
valuation of companies in related businesses. The market price of the Class A
common stock may be extremely volatile for many reasons, including:


     - actual or anticipated variations in our revenues and operating results;

     - a public market for the Class A common stock may not develop;

     - announcements of the development of improved or competitive technologies;

     - the use of new products or promotions by us or our competitors;

     - the offer and sale by us in the future of additional shares of Class A
       common stock or other securities;

     - changes in financial forecasts by securities analysts;

     - new conditions or trends in the cable industry; and

     - market conditions.

THE MARKET PRICE FOR OUR CLASS A COMMON STOCK COULD BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED BY THE
LARGE NUMBER OF ADDITIONAL SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR ISSUANCE IN THE FUTURE.


     Immediately following the offering,        shares of Class A common stock
will be issued and outstanding. An additional        shares of Class A common
stock will be issuable upon the exchange of membership units in Charter
Communications Holding Company not owned by us, the conversion of shares of
outstanding Class B common stock and the conversion of Class B common stock
issuable in exchange for Charter Communications Holding Company membership units
held by Vulcan Cable III and Charter Investment. Some of these exchangeable
membership units will be issued in connection with the Rifkin, Falcon and
Bresnan acquisitions. For the purposes of calculating the number of shares
eligible for sale in the future, we have assumed that, in each instance, the
relevant sellers will elect to receive the maximum number of exchangeable
membership units that they are entitled to receive. Substantially all of the
shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exchange of Charter Communications
Holding Company membership units and all shares of Class A common stock issuable
upon conversion of shares of our Class B common stock will have "demand" and
"piggyback" registration rights attached to them, including those issuable to
Mr. Allen through Charter Investment and Vulcan Cable III. "Demand" rights
enable the holders to demand that their shares be registered and may require us
to file a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933 at our
expense. "Piggyback" rights provide for notice to the relevant holders if we
propose to register any of our securities under the Securities Act, and such
holders may include their shares in the registration statement. Shares of Class
A common stock not held by our affiliates will be freely saleable at the end of
the relevant restricted period pursuant to Rule 144. The sale of a substantial
number of shares of Class A common stock, or the perception that such sales
could occur, could adversely affect prevailing market prices for the Class A
common stock. In addition, any such sale or perception that such sale could
occur could make it more difficult for us to sell equity securities or equity-
related securities in the future at a time and price that we deem appropriate.

and Vulcan Cable III have agreed not to dispose of or hedge any of their Class A
common stock or any of their Charter Communications Holding Company membership
units or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Class A common stock or
membership units during the period from the date of this prospectus continuing
through the date 180 days after the date of this prospectus, except with the
prior written consent of Goldman, Sachs & Co. See "Shares Eligible For Future
Sale" and "Underwriting".


YOU WILL EXPERIENCE IMMEDIATE AND SUBSTANTIAL DILUTION RESULTING IN YOUR STOCK
BEING WORTH LESS ON A NET TANGIBLE BOOK VALUE BASIS THAN THE AMOUNT YOU
INVESTED.


     Purchasers of the Class A common stock offered hereby will experience an
immediate dilution in net tangible book value of $       per share of Class A
common stock purchased. To the extent outstanding options to purchase
exchangeable membership interests in Charter Communications Holding Company are
exercised and the membership units issued upon this exercise are exchanged for
shares of Class A common stock, there may be further dilution. Accordingly, in
the event we are liquidated, investors may not receive the full amount of their
investment. See "Dilution".



                           FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS



     This prospectus includes forward-looking statements regarding, among other
things, our plans, strategies and prospects, both business and financial.
Although we believe that our plans, intentions and expectations reflected in or
suggested by these forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot assure
you that we will achieve or realize these plans, intentions or expectations.
Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks, uncertainties and
assumptions. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ
materially from the forward-looking statements we make in this prospectus are
set forth under the caption "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in this prospectus and
include, but are not limited to:



     - our plans to achieve growth by offering new services and through
       acquisitions;



     - our anticipated capital expenditures for our planned upgrades, and the
       ability to fund such upgrades;



     - our beliefs regarding the effects of governmental regulation on our
       business;



     - our ability to effectively compete in a highly competitive environment;
       and



     - our expectations to be ready for any year 2000 problem.



     All forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our
behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by those cautionary statements.

                                USE OF PROCEEDS


     We estimate that the net proceeds from our sale of           shares of
Class A common stock will be $2.84 billion, after deducting underwriting
discounts and estimated offering expenses. This assumes an initial public
offering price of $     per share, which is the mid-point of the range appearing
on the cover page of this prospectus. In addition, concurrently with the closing
of the offering, Charter Communications Holding Company will receive proceeds of
$750 million from an equity contribution by Mr. Allen, through Vulcan Cable III,
for membership units at a purchase price per membership unit equal to the net
initial public offering price per share.



     CCI intends to use the net proceeds from the offering to acquire
               membership units representing an approximate      % equity
interest in Charter Communications Holding Company as of the closing of the
offering, or an approximate      % equity interest, making all of the
assumptions described on page 3 with respect to our organizational chart. The
price per membership unit to be acquired by CCI will be equal to the net initial
public offering price per share.



     Charter Communications Holding Company will use its proceeds from the sale
of the membership units to CCI, together with the proceeds from the $750 million
equity contribution described above, to pay a portion of the purchase prices in
the Fanch, Falcon and Avalon acquisitions. We expect, but cannot guarantee, that
these acquisitions will be consummated in the fourth quarter of 1999. See
"Business -- Acquisitions" for further information on these acquisitions.



     Pending Charter Communications Holding Company's use of the net proceeds of
this offering as described above, we may invest the funds in appropriate
short-term investments as determined by us or repay any amounts outstanding
under Charter Operating's revolving credit facility. Separate tranches of
Charter Operating's facility mature in 2007 and 2008 and these facilities bear
interest, at the borrower's option, at a rate based on the "prime rate" or on
the interbank eurodollar rate, and the interest rate margins on these facilities
depend on specified performance ratios.

                                DIVIDEND POLICY


     We do not expect to pay any cash dividends on our Class A common stock in
the foreseeable future. Charter Communications Holding Company is required under
certain circumstances to pay distributions pro rata to all its common members to
the extent necessary for any common member to pay taxes incurred with respect to
its taxable income. Covenants in the indentures and credit agreements governing
the indebtedness of Charter Communications Holding Company's subsidiaries
restrict their ability to make distributions to us and, accordingly, limit our
ability to declare or pay cash dividends. We intend to cause Charter
Communications Holding Company and its subsidiaries to retain future earnings,
if any, to finance the expansion of the business of Charter Communications
Holding Company and its subsidiaries.

                                 CAPITALIZATION


     The following table sets forth as of June 30, 1999 on a consolidated basis:



     - the actual capitalization of Charter Communications Holding Company;


     - the pro forma capitalization of CCI to reflect:


        (1) the issuance and sale by CCI of the shares of Class A common stock
            offered in this prospectus for net proceeds of $2.84 billion, after
            deducting underwriting discounts and estimated offering expenses
            totaling $160 million; and



        (2) the purchase by CCI of      membership units in Charter
            Communications Holding Company resulting in the consolidation of
            Charter Communications Holding Company by CCI; and



     - the pro forma as adjusted capitalization of CCI assuming that as of June
30, 1999:



        (1) all acquisitions closed since June 30, 1999 had been completed;


        (2) all of our pending acquisitions had been completed;


        (3) Mr. Allen, through Vulcan Cable III, had made a total equity
            contribution of $1.325 billion(including $500 million funded in
            August 1999) to Charter Communications Holding Company for
            membership interests; and



        (4) Mr. Allen, through Vulcan Cable III, had purchased membership units
            from Charter Communications Holding Company for $750 million at a
            price per membership unit equal to the net initial public offering
            price per share.


     This table should be read in conjunction with the "Unaudited Pro Forma
Financial Statements" and the accompanying notes included elsewhere in this
prospectus. See also "Use of Proceeds".

---------------

(a)  Pro forma as adjusted credit facilities consist of $3.0 billion of existing
     credit facilities at Charter Operating, $1.0 billion of committed credit
     facilities at Falcon, and $1.7 billion of credit facilities at Fanch,
     Avalon and Bresnan expected to be arranged by us on terms similar to the
     existing credit facilities at those companies.



(b)  Consists of 8.375% senior debentures of $375,000, 9.285% senior discount
     debentures of $433,871, and 11.56% subordinated notes of $15,000.



(c)  Consists of 9.375% senior subordinated notes of $150,000 and 11.25% senior
     discount notes of $196,547.



(d)  Consists of 8.0% senior notes of $170,000 and 9.25% senior discount notes
     of $275,000.



(e)  Pro forma as adjusted includes $1.5 billion of additional long-term debt
     expected to be raised prior to our closing of the pending acquisitions.
     Although we have shown the entire amount as debt in the above table, we
     intend to finance $1.1 billion of the Bresnan purchase price with equity.

(f)  Minority interest represents total members' equity of Charter
     Communications Holding Company multiplied by 60% (pro forma) and 75% (pro
     forma as adjusted), the estimated ownership percentages of Charter
     Communications Holding Company not held by CCI. Pro forma as adjusted
     minority interest includes additional equity contributions into Charter
     Communications Holding Company by Mr. Allen, through Vulcan Cable III, of
     $2.075 billion, and additional equity interests in Charter Communications
     Holding Company membership units issued to sellers of Falcon and Bresnan
     recorded at $1.45 billion. Gains (losses) arising from issuances by Charter
     Communications Holding Company of its own membership units will be recorded
     as capital transactions in our consolidated financial statements thereby
     increasing (decreasing) our total stockholders' equity.



 (g) Approximately      % of the membership units of Charter Communications
     Holding Company are exchangeable for Class A common stock of CCI at the
     option of the equity holder. We assume in this table that none of these
     membership units are exchanged for CCI common stock. If all equity holders
     in Charter Communications Holding Company except Mr. Allen's affiliates
     exchanged their membership units for Class A common stock, total
     stockholders' equity would increase by $     billion and minority interest
     would decrease by $     billion.



 (h) Assuming the underwriters' option to purchase additional shares of Class A
     common stock is exercised, total stockholders' equity would increase by
     $          .

value (total assets less total liabilities) on a per share basis. In calculating
the dilution, we have made the same assumptions described on the following page
with respect to our unaudited pro forma financial statements. We have also
assumed the issuance of        shares of Class A common stock offered in this
prospectus.

     The table above and related discussion assumes no exercise of any stock
options outstanding. At June 30, 1999, there were options outstanding to
purchase 16,538,208 membership units at exercise prices ranging from $20.00 to
$20.73 per unit. Membership units received upon exercise of these options will
be automatically exchanged for shares of Class A common stock on a one-for-one
basis, except for membership units received by our chief executive officer which
are exchangeable for Class B common stock. To the extent that any of these
options are exercised, there will be further dilution to the new investors.

                    UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


     The following Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Statements of CCI are based on
the pro forma financial statements of Charter Communications Holding Company.
Prior to the issuance and sale by CCI of Class A common stock in the offering,
CCI is a holding company with no material assets or operations. The net proceeds
from the initial public offering will be used to purchase membership units in
Charter Communications Holding Company, including a controlling voting interest.
As a result, CCI will consolidate the financial statements of Charter
Communications Holding Company. Since January 1, 1999, Charter Communications
Holding Company has closed numerous acquisitions and has several pending
acquisitions. In addition, a subsidiary of Charter Communications Holding
Company merged with Marcus Holdings in April 1999. Our financial statements, on
a consolidated basis with Charter Communication Holding Company, are adjusted on
a pro forma basis to illustrate the estimated effects of pending acquisitions
and recent acquisitions closed since June 30, 1999 as if such transactions had
occurred on June 30, 1999 for the Unaudited Pro Forma Balance Sheet and to
illustrate the estimated effects of the following transactions as if they had
occurred on January 1, 1998, for the Unaudited Pro Forma Statements of
Operations:



     (1) the acquisition of Charter Communications Holding Company on December
         23, 1998 by Mr. Allen;



     (2) the acquisition of certain cable systems from Sonic Communications
         Inc., located in California and Utah, on May 20, 1998 by Charter
         Communications Holding Company for an aggregate purchase price net of
         cash acquired, of $228.4 million, comprised of $167.5 million in cash
         and $60.9 million in a note payable to seller;



     (3) the acquisition of Marcus Cable by Mr. Allen and Charter Communications
         Holding Company's merger with Marcus Holdings effective March 31, 1999;



     (4) the acquisitions and dispositions during 1998 by Marcus Cable;



     (5) Charter Communications Holding Company's and its subsidiaries'
         acquisitions completed since January 1, 1999 and pending acquisitions;
         and



     (6) the refinancing of all the debt of our subsidiaries through the
         issuance of notes and funding under our credit facilities.



     The Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Statements also illustrate the estimated
effects of the issuance and sale by us of the shares of Class A common stock,
after deducting underwriting discounts and estimated offering expenses, and the
equity contribution of the net proceeds to Charter Communications Holding
Company. We have assumed the net proceeds would purchase a 40% economic interest
in Charter Communications Holding Company prior to the closing of any of the
pending acquisitions. After considering additional membership units issued by
Charter Communications Holding Company to Mr. Allen, through Vulcan Cable III,
and the sellers of Falcon and Bresnan, the economic interest held by CCI in
Charter Communications Holding Company is reduced to 25%. As such, the
consolidated pro forma financial statements of CCI reflect a minority interest
equal to 75% of the equity of Charter Communications Holding Company after the
investment by CCI and depict 75% of the net losses of Charter Communications
Holding Company being allocated to the minority interest.



     The Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Statements reflect the application of the
principles of purchase accounting to the transactions listed in items (1)
through (5). The allocation of purchase price is based, in part, on preliminary
information which is subject to adjustment upon obtaining complete valuation
information of intangible assets. We believe that finalization of the purchase
price will not have a material impact on the results of operations or financial
position of CCI or Charter Communications Holding Company.

     The unaudited pro forma adjustments are based upon available information
and certain assumptions that we believe are reasonable. In particular, the pro
forma adjustments assume the following:



     - We will repurchase the Helicon notes at a price equal to 103% of their
       aggregate principal amount, plus accrued interest. The call price of 103%
       is not permitted until November 1, 1999. The Helicon notes are currently
       callable at 106%.



     - We will repurchase the Rifkin notes at a price equal to 101% of their
       principal amount, plus accrued interest.



     - The sellers of Rifkin will elect all cash for payment of the Rifkin
       purchase price. The Rifkin sellers may elect to take up to $250 million
       of the purchase price in Charter Communications Holding Company preferred
       or common equity or, if mutually agreed by the parties, of a parent of
       Charter Communications Holding Company.



     - We will pay $450 million of Falcon's purchase price in the form of
       membership units in Charter Communications Holding Company. A portion of
       the purchase price, ranging from $450 to $550 million, will be paid in
       the form of membership units in Charter Communications Holdings Company.
       The exact amount of purchase price payable in membership units will be
       determined by reference to a formula in the purchase agreement.



     - Approximately      % of the membership units of Charter Communications
       Holding Company are exchangeable for Class A common stock of CCI at the
       option of certain equity holders. We assume none of the membership units
       are exchanged for CCI common stock.



     - we will fund certain pending acquisitions prior to closing with
       additional long-term debt of $1.5 billion with an assumed interest rate
       of 10%. These additional funds have not been arranged at this time.



     The estimated impacts of alternative outcomes are disclosed in the notes to
the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Statements.

(a) As a result of Mr. Allen acquiring a controlling interest in Marcus Cable, a
    large portion of the purchase price was recorded as franchises ($2.5
    billion) that are amortized over 15 years. This resulted in additional
    amortization for the period from January 1, 1999 through March 31, 1999. The
    adjustment to depreciation and amortization expense consists of the
    following (dollars in millions):

(b) Reflects the elimination of management fees.



(c) As a result of the acquisition of Marcus Cable by Paul G. Allen, the
    carrying value of outstanding debt was recorded at estimated fair value,
    resulting in a debt premium that is to be amortized as an offset to interest
    expense over the term of the debt. This resulted in a reduction of interest
    expense.

(c) Represents the elimination of the operating results primarily related to the
    cable systems to be transferred to InterMedia Systems as part of a swap of
    cable systems and to the sale of several smaller cable systems. A definitive
    written agreement exists for the disposition on these systems. The fair
    value of our systems to be transferred is $420 million. No material gain or
    loss is anticipated on the disposition as these systems were recently
    acquired and recorded at fair value at that time. It is anticipated that
    this transfer will close during the third or fourth quarter of 1999.


(d) Reflects a reclassification of expenses representing corporate expenses that
    would have occurred at Charter Investment.


(e) Represents additional amortization of franchises as a result of our recent

     The Rifkin sellers may take up to $250 million in equity instead of cash.
     This would reduce interest expense by up to $9.2 million. Additionally, we
     have assumed that the Rifkin notes will be tendered. Should we be unable to
     purchase all or a portion of the Rifkin notes, interest expense will
     increase by up to $2.3 million. The Falcon sellers may take up to an
     additional $100 million in equity instead of cash. This would reduce
     interest expense by up to $3.7 million. We have assumed we will fund
     certain pending acquisitions prior to closing with additional long-term
     debt of $1.5 billion with an interest rate of 10%. An increase in the
     interest rate of 0.125% on this assumed debt would result in an increase in
     interest expense of $0.9 million



(h) Represents the elimination of gain (loss) on sale of assets.



(i) Reflects the elimination of income tax expense (benefit) as a result of
    being acquired by a limited liability company.



     NOTE C:  We have extinguished substantially all of our long-term debt,
excluding borrowings of our previous credit facilities and refinanced all
previous credit facilities. See "Capitalization". The refinancing adjustment of
lower interest expense consists of the following (dollars in millions):

     NOTE F:  EBITDA represents earnings (loss) before interest, income taxes,
depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is presented because it is a widely
accepted financial indicator of a cable television company's ability to service
indebtedness. However, EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to
income from operations or to cash flows from operating, investing or financing
activities, as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles. EBITDA should also not be construed as an indication of a company's
operating performance or as a measure of liquidity. In addition, because EBITDA
is not calculated identically by all companies, the presentation here may not be

discretionary use of funds depicted by EBITDA may be limited by working capital,
debt service and capital expenditure requirements and by restrictions related to
legal requirements, commitments and uncertainties.



     NOTE G:  EBITDA margin represents EBITDA as a percentage of revenues.



     NOTE H:  Adjusted EBITDA means EBITDA before stock option compensation
expense, corporate expenses, management fees and other income (expense).

of a cable company's ability to service indebtedness. However, Adjusted EBITDA
should not be considered as an alternative to income from operations or to cash
flows from operating, investing or financing activities, as determined in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Adjusted EBITDA should
also not be construed as an indication of a company's operating performance or
as a measure of liquidity. In addition, because Adjusted EBITDA is not
calculated identically by all companies, the presentation here may not be

     Additionally, the carrying value of outstanding debt was recorded at
     estimated fair value, resulting in a debt premium that is to be amortized
     as an offset to interest expense over the term of the debt. This resulted
     in a reduction in interest expense for the year ended December 31, 1998.



(e) As a result of the acquisition of Marcus Holdings by Mr. Allen, Marcus
    Holdings recorded transaction costs of approximately $135.4 million. These
    costs were primarily comprised of approximately $90.2 million in
    compensation paid to employees of Marcus Holdings in settlement of specially
    designated Class B units and approximately $29.2 million of transaction fees
    paid to certain equity partners for investment banking services. In
    addition, Marcus Holdings recorded costs related to employee and officer
    stay-bonus and severance arrangements of approximately $16.0 million.

    The InterMedia acquisition above is part of a "swap."


(c) Represents the elimination of the operating results primarily related to the
    cable systems to be transferred to InterMedia as part of a swap of cable
    systems and related to the sale of several smaller cable systems. A
    definitive written agreement exists for the disposition on these systems.
    The fair value of the systems to be transferred is $420 million. No material
    gain or loss is anticipated on the disposition as these systems were
    recently acquired and recorded at fair value at that time. It is anticipated
    that this transfer will close during the third or fourth quarter of 1999.

(d) Reflects a reclassification of expenses representing corporate expenses that
    would have occurred at Charter Investment.


(e) Represents additional amortization of franchises as a result of our recently

     The Rifkin sellers may take up to $250 million in equity instead of cash.
     This would reduce interest expense by up to $18.5 million. Additionally, we
     have assumed that the Rifkin notes will be tendered. Should we be unable to
     purchase all or a portion of the Rifkin notes, interest expense will
     increase by up to $4.7 million. The Falcon sellers may take up to an
     additional $100 million in equity instead of cash. This would reduce
     interest expense by up to $7.4 million. We have assumed we will fund
     certain pending acquisitions prior to closing with additional long-term
     debt of $1.5 billion with an assumed interest rate of 10%. An increase in
     the interest rate of 0.125% on this assumed debt would result in an
     increase in interest expense of $1.9 million.



(g) Represents the elimination of gain (loss) on the sale of cable television
    systems whose results of operations have been eliminated in (c) above.



(h) Reflects the elimination of income tax expense (benefit) as a result of
    being acquired by a limited liability company.

debt, excluding borrowings of our previous credit facilities and refinanced all
previous credit facilities. In addition, we incurred and plan to incur

     NOTE G:  EBITDA represents earnings (loss) before interest, income taxes,
depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is presented because it is a widely
accepted financial indicator of a cable television company's ability to service
indebtedness. However, EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to
income from operations or to cash flows from operating, investing or financing
activities, as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles. EBITDA should also not be construed as an indication of a company's
operating performance or as a measure of liquidity. In addition, because EBITDA
is not calculated identically by all companies, the presentation here may not be
comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. Management's
discretionary use of funds depicted by EBITDA may be limited by working capital,
debt service and capital expenditure requirements and by restrictions related to
legal requirements, commitments and uncertainties.

     NOTE H:  EBITDA margin represents EBITDA as a percentage of revenues.


     NOTE I:   Adjusted EBITDA means EBITDA before stock option compensation
expense, corporate expenses, management fees and other income (expense).
Adjusted EBITDA is presented because it is a widely accepted financial indicator
of a cable company's ability to service indebtedness. However, Adjusted EBITDA
should not be considered as an alternative to income from operations or to cash

     The additional contributions represent $2.075 billion of equity
contributions to Charter Communications Holding Company from Mr. Allen, through
Vulcan Cable III, plus equity interests of Charter Communications Holding
Company issued to the sellers of Falcon and Bresnan totaling $1.45 billion.



     NOTE B: Offering adjustments include the issuance and sale by CCI of Class
A common stock for net proceeds of $2.84 billion, after deducting underwriting
discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses. Also included as an
offering adjustment is the effect of consolidating Charter Communications
Holding Company into CCI based on CCI's purchase of membership units, including
voting control, in Charter Communications Holding Company. This results in the
$7.2 billion of member's equity in Charter Communications Holding Company
becoming minority interest in the consolidated balance sheet of CCI.



     Certain equity interests in Charter Communications Holding Company are
exchangeable into Class A common stock of CCI. We assume no such equity
interests are exchanged. If all equity holders in Charter Communications Holding
Company except Mr. Allen's affiliates exchanged their units for Class A common
stock, total stockholders' equity would increase by $     billion and minority
interest would decrease by $     billion.

                       SELECTED HISTORICAL FINANCIAL DATA


     On July 22, 1999, CCI was formed. CCI will be a holding company whose sole
asset, upon closing of the initial public offering, will be an approximate
     % equity interest and a more than 50% voting interest in Charter
Communications Holding Company. This results in the consolidation of Charter
Communications Holding Company and CCI. We have included below selected
historical financial data for Charter Communications Holding Company.



     The selected historical financial data below for the years ended December
31, 1996 and 1997, for the periods from January 1, 1998, through December 23,

          MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                           AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


     Reference is made to the "Certain Trends and Uncertainties" section below
in this Management's Discussion and Analysis for discussion of important factors
that could cause actual results to differ from expectations and non-historical
information contained herein.


INTRODUCTION


     We do not believe that our historical financial condition and results of
operations are accurate indicators of future results because of recent and
pending significant events, including:



     (1) the acquisition of us by Paul G. Allen,



     (2) Charter Holdings' merger with Marcus Holdings,



     (3) our recent and pending acquisitions,



     (4) the refinancing of our previous credit facilities, and



     (5) the purchase of publicly held notes that had been issued by several of
         our subsidiaries.



Provided below is a discussion of:



     (1) our operation and development prior to the acquisition of us by Mr.
         Allen,



     (2) the acquisition of us by Mr. Allen,



     (3) Charter Holdings' merger with Marcus Holdings, and



     (4) our recent acquisitions and pending acquisitions.



ORGANIZATIONAL HISTORY



     Prior to our acquisition by Mr. Allen on December 23, 1998, and Charter
Holdings' merger with Marcus Holdings on April 7, 1999, our cable systems,
excluding those cable systems acquired since January 1, 1999, were operated
under four groups of companies. Three of these groups were comprised of
companies that were managed by Charter Investment prior to our acquisition by
Mr. Allen and the fourth group was comprised of companies that were subsidiaries
of Marcus Holdings.



     The following is an explanation of how:



     (1) Charter Communications Properties; the operating companies that
         formerly comprised CCA Group; Charter Communications, LLC and the
         Marcus companies became wholly owned subsidiaries of Charter Operating;



     (2) Charter Operating became a wholly owned subsidiary of Charter Holdings;



     (3) Charter Holdings became a wholly owned subsidiary of Charter
         Communications Holding Company; and



     (4) Charter Communications Holding Company became a wholly owned subsidiary
         of Charter Investment.



THE CHARTER COMPANIES



     Prior to Charter Investment acquiring the remaining interests of CCA Group
and CharterComm Holdings, LLC and Charter Communications Properties Holdings,
LLC did not previously own in CCA Group and CharterComm Holdings, LLC, as
described below, the operating subsidiaries were parties to separate management
agreements with Charter Investment pursuant to which Charter Investment provided
management and consulting services. The three


                                       57
<PAGE>   62


groups which formerly comprised the companies managed by Charter Investment
prior to our acquisition by Mr. Allen were as follows:



     (1) Charter Communications Properties Holdings, LLC



          Charter Communications Properties Holdings, LLC was a wholly owned
     subsidiary of Charter Investment. The primary subsidiary of Charter
     Communications Properties Holdings which owned the cable systems was
     Charter Communications Properties. In connection with Mr. Allen's
     acquisition on December 23, 1998, Charter Communications Properties
     Holdings was merged out of existence. Charter Communications Properties
     became a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Charter Investment. In May
     1998, Charter Communications Properties acquired certain cable systems from
     Sonic Communciations, Inc. for a total purchase price, net of cash
     acquired, of $224.4 million, including $60.9 million of assumed debt.



     (2) CCA Group



          The controlling interests in CCA Group were held by affiliates of
     Kelso & Co. Charter Investment had only a minority interest. On December
     21, 1998, prior to Mr. Allen's acquisition, the remaining interests it did
     not previously own in CCA Group were acquired by Charter Investment from
     the Kelso affiliates. Consequently, the companies comprising CCA Group
     became wholly owned subsidiaries of Charter Investment.



        CCA Group consisted of the following three sister companies:



           (i)  CCT Holdings, LLC,



           (ii)  CCA Holdings, LLC, and



           (iii) Charter Communications Long Beach, LLC.



          The cable systems were owned by the various subsidiaries of these
     three sister companies. The financial statements for these three sister
     companies historically were combined and the term "CCA Group" was assigned
     to these combined entities. In connection with Mr. Allen's acquisition on
     December 23, 1998, the three sister companies and some of the non-operating
     subsidiaries were merged out of existence, leaving certain of the operating
     subsidiaries owning all of the cable systems under this former group. These
     operating subsidiaries became indirect, wholly owned subsidiaries of
     Charter Investment.



     (3) CharterComm Holdings, LLC



          The controlling interests in CharterComm Holdings were held by
     affiliates of Charterhouse Group International Inc. Charter Investment had
     only a minority interest. On December 21, 1998, prior to Mr. Allen's
     acquisition, the remaining interests it did not previously own in
     CharterComm Holdings were acquired by Charter Investment from the
     Charterhouse affiliates. Consequently, CharterComm Holdings became a wholly
     owned subsidiary of Charter Investment.



          The cable systems were owned by the various subsidiaries of
     CharterComm Holdings. In connection with Mr. Allen's acquisition on
     December 23, 1998, some of the non-operating subsidiaries were merged out
     of existence, leaving certain of the operating subsidiaries owning all of
     the cable systems under this former group. CharterComm Holdings was merged
     out of existence. Charter Communications, LLC became a direct, wholly owned
     subsidiary of Charter Investment.



     In February 1999, Charter Holdings was formed as a wholly owned subsidiary
of Charter Investment, and Charter Operating was formed as a wholly owned
subsidiary of Charter Holdings. All of Charter Investment's direct interests in
the entities described above were transferred to Charter Operating. All of the
prior management agreements were terminated and a


                                       58
<PAGE>   63

new management agreement was entered into between Charter Investment and Charter
Operating.


     In May 1999, Charter Communications Holding Company was formed as a wholly
owned subsidiary of Charter Investment. All of Charter Investment's interests in
Charter Holdings were transferred to Charter Communications Holding Company.



     Our acquisition by Mr. Allen became effective on December 23, 1998, through
a series of transactions in which Mr. Allen acquired approximately 94% of the
equity interests of Charter Investment for an aggregate purchase price of $2.2
billion, excluding $2.0 billion in assumed debt. Charter Communications
Properties, the operating companies that formerly comprised CCA Group and
Charter Communications, LLC were contributed to Charter Operating subsequent to
Mr. Allen's acquisition. Charter Communications Properties is deemed to be our
predecessor. Consequently, the contribution of Charter Communications Properties
was accounted for as a reorganization under common control. Accordingly, the
accompanying financial statements for periods prior to December 24, 1998 include
the accounts of Charter Communications Properties. The contributions of the
operating companies that formerly comprised CCA Group and Charter
Communications, LLC were accounted for in accordance with purchase accounting.
Accordingly, the financial statements for periods after December 23, 1998
include the accounts of Charter Communications Properties, CCA Group and
CharterComm Holdings.



MARCUS COMPANIES



     In April 1998, Mr. Allen acquired approximately 99% of the non-voting
economic interests in Marcus Cable, and agreed to acquire the remaining
interests. The owner of the remaining partnership interests retained voting
control of Marcus Cable. In October 1998, Marcus Cable entered into a management
consulting agreement with Charter Investment, pursuant to which Charter
Investment provided management and consulting services to Marcus Cable and its
subsidiaries which own the cable systems. This agreement placed the Marcus cable
systems under common management with our cable systems.



     In February 1999, Marcus Holdings was formed and all of Mr. Allen's
interests in Marcus Cable were transferred to Marcus Holdings. In March 1999,
Mr. Allen acquired the remaining interests in Marcus Cable, including voting
control, which interests were transferred to Marcus Holdings. In April 1999, Mr.
Allen merged Marcus Holdings into Charter Holdings, and the operating
subsidiaries of Marcus Holdings and all of the cable systems they own came under
the ownership of Charter Holdings. For financial reporting purposes, our merger
with Marcus Holdings was accounted for as an acquisition of Marcus Holdings
effective March 31, 1999, and accordingly, the results of operations of Marcus
Holdings have been included in our financial statements since that date.


ACQUISITIONS


     In the second and third quarters of 1999, we acquired American Cable, the
Greater Media systems, Renaissance, Helicon, Vista and certain cable assets of
Cable Satellite of South Miami for a total purchase price of approximately $1.9
billion which included assumed debt of $226 million. See
"Business -- Acquisitions" and "Description of Certain Indebtedness". These
acquisitions were funded through excess cash from the issuance by Charter
Holdings of senior notes, additional borrowings under our credit facilities and
the assumption of Renaissance notes and Helicon notes.



     In addition to these acquisitions, since the beginning of 1999, we have
entered into definitive agreements to acquire the InterMedia, Rifkin, Avalon,
Fanch, Falcon and Bresnan cable systems, all as set forth in the table below.
These acquisitions are expected to be funded through the net proceeds of this
offering, excess cash, additional borrowings under our credit facilities,
additional equity and debt financings and the assumption of outstanding notes
issued by Rifkin, Avalon,


                                       59
<PAGE>   64


Falcon and Bresnan. See "-- Liquidity and Capital Resources". We may be required
to repay the Avalon and Bresnan credit facilities. See "Description of Certain
Indebtedness". We are required to make an offer to repurchase the Helicon Notes,
and will be required to make an offer to repurchase the Avalon 11 7/8% notes,
Avalon 9 3/8% notes, the Falcon debentures, the Bresnan notes and the Rifkin
notes following the closing of the these acquisitions, respectively. See
"Description of Certain Indebtedness" and "-- Liquidity and Capital Resources".



     Under the Falcon purchase agreement, specified Falcon sellers have agreed
to receive at least $450 million and, at their election, up to $550 million of
the Falcon purchase price in the form of membership units in Charter
Communications Holding Company. Under the Bresnan purchase agreement, the
Bresnan sellers have agreed to receive $1.0 billion of the Bresnan purchase
price in the form of membership units in Charter Communications Holding Company,
which, at the time the agreement was executed, was calculated to equal
approximately 6.14% of the total membership interests in Charter Communications
Holding Company. See "Business -- Acquisitions". In addition, certain Rifkin
sellers could elect to receive some of the purchase price in the form of
preferred or common equity of Charter Communications Holding Company. If issued,
this equity portion would total between approximately $25 million and $250
million.



     As part of the transaction with InterMedia, we will "swap" some of our
non-strategic cable systems located in Indiana, Montana, Utah and northern
Kentucky, representing 143,000 basic customers, and pay cash of $873 million.
The InterMedia systems serve approximately 412,000 customers in Georgia, North
Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee.

     The systems acquired pursuant to these recent and pending acquisitions
serve, in the aggregate, approximately 3.8 million customers. In addition, we
are negotiating with several other potential acquisition candidates whose
systems would further complement our regional operating clusters.



OVERVIEW



     Approximately 85% of our historical revenues for the six months ended June
30, 1999 are primarily attributable to monthly subscription fees charged to
customers for our basic, expanded basic and premium cable television programming
services, equipment rental and ancillary services provided by our cable
television systems. In addition, we derive other revenues from installation and
reconnection fees charged to customers to commence or reinstate service, pay-
per-view programming, where users are charged a fee for individual programs
requested, advertising revenues and commissions related to the sale of
merchandise by home shopping


                                       60
<PAGE>   65


services. We have generated increased revenues in each of the past three fiscal
years, primarily through internal customer growth, basic and expanded tier rate
increases and acquisitions as well as innovative marketing, such as our MVP
package of premium services. The MVP package entitles customers to receive a
substantial discount on bundled premium services of HBO, Showtime, Cinemax and
The Movie Channel. The MVP package has increased premium revenue by 3.4% and
premium cash flow by 5.5% in the initial nine months of this program. We are
beginning to offer our customers several other services, which are expected to
significantly contribute to our revenues. One of these services is digital
cable, which provides subscribers with additional programming options. We are
also offering high speed Internet access to the World Wide Web through cable
modems. Cable modems can be attached to personal computers so that users can
send and receive data over cable systems. Our television based Internet access
allows us to offer the services provided by WorldGate Communications, Inc.,
which provides users with TV based e-mail and other Internet access.



     Our expenses primarily consist of operating costs, general and
administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization expense and management
fees/corporate expense charges. Operating costs primarily include programming
costs, cable service related expenses, marketing and advertising costs,
franchise fees and expenses related to customer billings. Programming costs
account for approximately 50% of our operating costs. Programming costs have
increased in recent years and are expected to continue to increase due to
additional programming being provided to customers, increased cost to produce or
purchase cable programming, inflation and other factors affecting the cable
television industry. In each year we have operated, our costs to acquire
programming have exceeded customary inflationary increases. A significant factor
with respect to increased programming costs is the rate increases and surcharges
imposed by national and regional sports networks directly tied to escalating
costs to acquire programming for professional sports packages in a competitive
market. We have benefited in the past from our membership in an industry
cooperative that provides members with volume discounts from programming
networks. We believe our membership has minimized increases in our programming
costs relative to what the increases would otherwise have been. We also believe
that we should derive additional discounts from programming networks due to our
increased size. Finally, we were able to negotiate favorable terms with premium
networks in conjunction with the premium packages, which minimized the impact on
margins and provided substantial volume incentives to grow the premium category.
Although we believe that we will be able to pass future increases in programming
costs through to customers, there can be no assurance that we will be able to do
so.



     General and administrative expenses primarily include accounting and
administrative personnel and professional fees. Depreciation and amortization
expense relates to the depreciation of our tangible assets and the amortization
of our franchise costs. Management fees/corporate expense charges are fees paid
to or charges from Charter Investment for corporate management and consulting
services. Charter Holdings records actual corporate expense charges incurred by
Charter Investment on behalf of Charter Holdings. Prior to the acquisition of us
by Mr. Allen, the CCA Group and CharterComm Holdings recorded management fees
payable to Charter Investment equal to 3.0% to 5.0% of gross revenues plus
certain expenses. In October 1998, Charter Investment began managing the cable
operations of Marcus Holdings under a management agreement, which was terminated
in February 1999 and replaced by a master management fee arrangement. The
Charter Operating credit facilities limit management fees to 3.5% of gross
revenues.



     In connection with the offering, the existing management agreement between
Charter Investment and Charter Operating will be assigned to CCI and CCI will
enter into a new management agreement with Charter Communications Holding
Company. This management agreement will be substantially similar to the existing
management agreement with Charter Operating except that CCI will only be
entitled to receive reimbursement of its expenses as

consideration for its providing management services. See "Certain Relationships
and Related Transactions".


     We have had a history of net losses and expect to continue to report net
losses for the foreseeable future. The principal reasons for our prior and
anticipated net losses include the depreciation and amortization expenses
associated with our acquisitions, the capital expenditures related to
construction and upgrading of our systems, and interest costs on borrowed money.
We cannot predict what impact, if any, continued losses will have on our ability
to finance our operations in the future.

PERIOD FROM JANUARY 1, 1999 THROUGH JUNE 30, 1999


COMPARED TO PERIOD FROM JANUARY 1, 1998 THROUGH JUNE 30, 1998



     REVENUES.  Revenues increased by $453.9 million, or 3,000%, from $15.1
million for the period from January 1, 1998 through June 30, 1998 to $469.0
million for the period from January 1, 1999 through June 30, 1999. The increase
in revenues primarily resulted from the acquisitions of CCA Group, CharterComm
Holdings, Sonic, Marcus Holdings and Renaissance. Additional revenues from these
entities included for the period ended June 30, 1999 were $179.5 million, $108.9
million, $26.2 million, $128.1 million and $10.4 million, respectively.



     OPERATING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES.  Operating, general and
administrative expenses increased by $232.9 million, or 2,781%, from $8.4
million for the period from January 1, 1998 through June 30, 1998 to $241.3
million for the period from January 1, 1999 through June 30, 1999. This increase
was due primarily to the acquisitions of the CCA Group, CharterComm Holdings,
Sonic, Marcus Holdings and Renaissance. Additional operating, general and
administrative expenses from these entities included for the period from January
1, 1999 through June 30, 1999 were $90.7 million, $54.2 million, $13.6 million,
$69.5 million and $4.9 million, respectively.



     DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION.  Depreciation and amortization expense
increased by $244.7 million, or 4,605%, from $5.3 million for the period from
January 1, 1998 through June 30, 1998 to $250.0 million for the period from
January 1, 1999 through June 30, 1999. There was a significant increase in
amortization expense resulting from the acquisitions of the CCA Group,
CharterComm Holdings, Sonic, Marcus Holdings and Renaissance. Additional
depreciation and amortization expense from these entities included for the
period ended June 30, 1999 were $97.9 million, $67.4 million, $5.6 million,
$65.6 million and $5.8 million, respectively.



     STOCK OPTION COMPENSATION EXPENSE.  Stock option compensation expense for
the period from January 1, 1999 through June 30, 1999 was $38.2 million due to
the granting of options to employees in December 1998, February 1999 and April
1999. The exercise prices of the options are less than the estimated fair values
of the underlying membership interests on the date of grant, resulting in
compensation expense accrued over the vesting period of each grant that varies
from four to five years.



     MANAGEMENT FEES/CORPORATE EXPENSE CHARGES.  Management fees/corporate
expense charges increased by $10.5 million, or 1,663%, from $0.6 million for the
period from January 1, 1998 through June 30, 1998 to $11.1 million for the
period from January 1, 1999 through June 30, 1999. The increase from the period
from January 1, 1998 through June 30, 1998 compared to the period from January
1, 1999 through June 30, 1999 was the result of the acquisitions of CCA Group,
CharterComm Holdings, Sonic, Marcus Holdings, Renaissance and American Cable.



     INTEREST INCOME.  Interest income increased by $10.1 million from $14,000
for the period from January 1, 1998 to June 30, 1998 to $10.1 million for the
period from January 1, 1999 to June 30, 1999. The increase was primarily due to
investing excess cash that resulted from required credit facilities draw downs.



     INTEREST EXPENSE.  Interest expense increased by $152.1 million, or
2,706.1%, from $5.6 million for the period from January 1, 1998 through June 30,
1998 to $157.7 million for the period from January 1, 1998 through June 30,
1999. This increase resulted primarily from interest on the notes at Charter
Holdings, the credit facilities at Charter Operating and the financing of the
acquisitions of CCA Group and CharterComm Holdings. The interest expenses
resulting from each of these transactions were $68.7 million, $44.9 million,
$12.7 million and $11.3 million, respectively.


                                       63
<PAGE>   68


     OTHER INCOME.  Other income increased by $2.8 million from $3,000 for the
period from January 1, 1998 to June 30, 1998 to $2.8 million for the period from
January 1, 1999 to June 30, 1999. The increase was primarily due to the gain on
the sale of certain aircrafts.



     NET LOSS.  Net loss increased by $219.3 million, or 4,578%, from $4.8
million for the period from January 1, 1998 through June 30, 1998 to $224.1
million for the period from January 1, 1998 through June 30, 1999. The increase
in revenues that resulted from the acquisitions of CCA Group, CharterComm
Holdings, Sonic and Marcus Holdings was not sufficient to offset the operating
expenses associated with the acquired systems and loss from early extinguishment
of debt.

<PAGE>   69


PERIOD FROM JANUARY 1, 1998 THROUGH DECEMBER 23, 1998 COMPARED TO 1997



     REVENUES.  Revenues increased by $30.8 million, or 163.6%, from $18.9
million in 1997 to $49.7 million for the period from January 1, 1998 through
December 23, 1998. The increase in revenues primarily resulted from the
acquisition of Sonic whose revenues for that period were $30.5 million.



     OPERATING EXPENSES.  Operating expenses increased by $9.6 million, or
104.8%, from $9.2 million in 1997 to $18.8 million for the period from January
1, 1998 through December 23, 1998. This increase was due primarily to the
acquisition of Sonic, whose operating expenses for that period were $11.5
million, partially offset by the loss of $1.4 million on the sale of a cable
system in 1997.



     GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES.  General and administrative expenses
increased by $4.6 million, or 175.9%, from $2.6 million in 1997 to $7.2 million
for the period from January 1, 1998 through December 23, 1998. This increase was
due primarily to the acquisition of Sonic whose general and administrative
expenses for that period were $4.4 million.



     DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION.  Depreciation and amortization expense
increased by $10.8 million, or 176.3%, from $6.1 million in 1997 to $16.9
million for the period from January 1, 1998 through December 23, 1998. There was
a significant increase in amortization resulting from the acquisition of Sonic.
Incremental depreciation and amortization expenses of the acquisition of Sonic
were $10.3 million.



     MANAGEMENT FEES/CORPORATE EXPENSE CHARGES.  Corporate expense charges
increased by $5.6 million, or 991.2% from $0.6 million in 1997 to $6.2 million
for the period from January 1, 1998 through December 23, 1998. The increase from
1997 compared to the period from January 1, 1998 through December 23, 1998 was
the result of additional Charter Investment charges related to equity
appreciation rights plans of $3.8 million for the period from January 1, 1998
through December 23, 1998 and an increase of $1.5 million in management services
provided by Charter Investment as a result of the acquisition of Sonic.



     INTEREST EXPENSE.  Interest expense increased by $12.2 million, or 237.4%,
from $5.1 million in 1997 to $17.3 million for the period from January 1, 1998
through December 23, 1998. This increase resulted primarily from the
indebtedness of $220.6 million, including a note payable for $60.7 million,
incurred in connection with the acquisition of Sonic resulting in $12.1 million
of additional interest expense.



     NET LOSS.  Net loss increased by $12.6 million, or 272.5%, from $4.6
million in 1997 to $17.2 million for the period from January 1, 1998 through
December 23, 1998. The increase in revenues that resulted from cable television
customer growth was not sufficient to offset the operating expenses related to
the acquisition of Sonic.



1997 COMPARED TO 1996



     REVENUES.  Revenues increased by $4.0 million, or 26.8%, from $14.9 million
in 1996 to $18.9 million in 1997. The primary reason for this increase is due to
the acquisition of 5 cable systems in 1996 that increased customers by 58.9%.



     Revenues of Charter Communications Properties, excluding the activity of
any other systems acquired during the periods, increased by $0.7 million, or
8.9%, from $7.9 million in 1996 to $8.6 million in 1997.



     OPERATING EXPENSES.  Operating expenses increased by $3.3 million, or
55.5%, from $5.9 million in 1996 to $9.2 million in 1997. This increase was
primarily due to the acquisitions of the cable systems in 1996 and the loss of
$1.4 million on the sale of a cable system in 1997.


                                       65
<PAGE>   70


     GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES.  General and administrative expenses
increased by $0.4 million, or 16.8%, from $2.2 million in 1996 to $2.6 million
in 1997. This increase was primarily due to the acquisitions of the cable
systems in 1996.



     DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION.  Depreciation and amortization expense
increased by $1.5 million, or 32.9%, from $4.6 million in 1996 to $6.1 million
in 1997. There was a significant increase in amortization resulting from the
acquisitions of the cable systems in 1996.



     MANAGEMENT FEES/CORPORATE EXPENSE CHARGES.  Corporate expense charges
increased by $0.2 million, or 26.9%, from $0.4 million in 1996 to $0.6 million
in 1997. These fees were 3.0% of revenues in both 1996 and 1997.



     INTEREST EXPENSE.  Interest expense increased by $0.7 million, or 15.9%,
from $4.4 million in 1996 to $5.1 million in 1997. This increase resulted
primarily from the indebtedness incurred in connection with the acquisitions of
several cable systems in 1996.



     NET LOSS.  Net loss increased by $1.9 million, or 69.8%, from $2.7 million
in 1996 to $4.6 million in 1997. The increase in net loss is primarily related
to the $1.4 million loss on the sale of a cable system.



OUTLOOK



     Our business strategy emphasizes the increase of our operating cash flow by
increasing our customer base and the amount of cash flow per customer. We
believe that there are significant advantages in increasing the size and scope
of our operations, including:



     - improved economies of scale in management, marketing, customer service,
       billing and other administrative functions;



     - reduced costs for our cable plants and our infrastructure in general;



     - increased leverage for negotiating programming contracts; and



     - increased influence on the evolution of important new technologies
       affecting our business.



     We seek to "cluster" cable systems in suburban and ex-urban areas
surrounding selected metropolitan markets. We believe that such "clustering"
offers significant opportunities to increase operating efficiencies and to
improve operating margins and cash flow by spreading fixed costs over an
expanding subscriber base. In addition, we believe that by concentrating
"clusters" in markets, we will be able to generate higher growth in revenues and
operating cash flow. Through strategic acquisitions and "swaps" of cable
systems, we seek to enlarge the coverage of our current areas of operations,
and, if feasible develop "clusters" in new geographic areas within existing
regions. Swapping of cable systems allows us to trade systems that do not
coincide with our operating strategy while gaining systems that meet our
objectives. Several significant swaps have been announced. These swaps have
demonstrated the industry's trend to cluster operations. To date, Charter
Holdings has participated in one swap in connection with the transaction with
InterMedia. We are currently negotiating other possible swap transactions.



LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES



     Our business requires significant cash to fund acquisitions, capital
expenditures, debt service costs and ongoing operations. We have historically
funded and expect to fund future liquidity and capital requirements through cash
flows from operations, equity contributions, borrowings under our existing
credit facilities and additional debt financing.



     Our historical cash flows from operating activities for 1998 were $141.6
million, and for the six months ended June 30, 1999 were $172.8 million. Pro
forma for our recent and pending acquisitions and the merger of Marcus Holdings
with Charter Holdings, our cash flows from


                                       66
<PAGE>   71


operating activities for 1998 were $589.5 million, and for the six months ended
June 30, 1999 were $451.2 million.



CAPITAL EXPENDITURES



     We have substantial ongoing capital expenditure requirements. We make
capital expenditures primarily to upgrade, rebuild and expand our existing cable
systems, as well as for system maintenance, the development of new products and
services and converters. Converters are set-top devices added in front of a
subscriber's television receiver to change the frequency of the cable television
signals to a suitable channel. The television receiver is then able to tune and
to allow access to premium service.



     Upgrading our cable systems will enable us to offer new products and
services, including digital television, additional channels and tiers, expanded
pay-per-view options, high-speed Internet access, and interactive services.



     For the period from January 1, 2000 to December 31, 2002, we plan to spend
approximately $5.5 billion for capital expenditures, approximately $2.9 billion
of which will be used to upgrade and rebuild our systems to bandwidth capacity
of 550 megahertz or greater and add two-way capability, so that we may offer
advanced services. The remaining $2.6 billion will be used for extensions of
systems, development of new products and services, converters and system
maintenance. Capital expenditures for 2000, 2001 and 2002 are expected to be
approximately $1.5 billion, $2.0 billion and $2.0 billion, respectively. We
expect to finance 80% and 20% of the anticipated capital expenditures with
distributions generated from operations and additional borrowings under our
credit facilities, respectively. We cannot assure you that these amounts will be
sufficient to accomplish our planned system upgrade, expansion and maintenance.
See "Risk Factors -- Our Business -- We may not be able to obtain capital
sufficient to fund our planned upgrades and other capital expenditures". This
could adversely affect our ability to offer new products and services and
compete effectively, and could adversely affect our growth, financial condition
and results of operations.



     For the six months ended June 30, 1999, we made capital expenditures,
excluding the acquisition of cable systems, of $206 million. The majority of the
capital expenditures related to rebuilding existing cable systems.



FINANCING ACTIVITIES



     On March 17, 1999, Charter Holdings issued $3.6 billion principal amount of
senior notes. The net proceeds of approximately $2.99 billion, combined with the
borrowings under our credit facilities, were used to consummate tender offers
for publicly held debt of several of our subsidiaries, as described below,
refinance borrowings under our previous credit facilities and for working
capital purposes.



     Semi-annual interest payments with respect to the 8.250% notes and the
8.625% notes will be approximately $89.4 million, commencing on October 1, 1999.
No interest on the 9.920% notes will be payable prior to April 1, 2004.
Thereafter, semiannual interest payments will be approximately $162.6 million in
the aggregate, commencing on October 1, 2004.



     Concurrently with the issuance of the Charter Holdings notes, we refinanced
substantially all of our previous credit facilities and Marcus Cable's credit
facilities with new credit facilities entered into by Charter Operating. In
February and March 1999, we commenced cash tender offers to purchase the 14%
senior discount notes issued by Charter Communications Southeast Holdings, LLC,
the 11.25% senior notes issued by Charter Communications Southeast, LLC, the
13.50% senior subordinated discount notes issued by Marcus Cable Operating
Company, L.L.C., and the 14.25% senior discount notes issued by Marcus Cable.
All notes except for $1.1 million in principal amount were paid off.


                                       67
<PAGE>   72


     Our credit facilities provide for two term facilities, one with a principal
amount of $1.0 billion that matures September 2008 (Term A), and the other with
the principal amount of $1.85 billion that matures on March 2009 (Term B). Our
credit facilities also provide for a $1.25 billion revolving credit facility
with a maturity date of September 2008. As of June 30, 1999, approximately
$2.075 billion was available for borrowing under Charter Operating's credit
facilities. In addition, an uncommitted incremental term facility of up to $500
million with terms similar to the terms of Charter Operatings credit facilities
is permitted under these credit facilities, but will be conditioned on receipt
of additional new commitments from existing and new lenders.



     Amounts under Charter Operatings credit facilities bear interest at a base
rate or a eurodollar rate, plus a margin up to 2.75%. A quarterly commitment fee
of between 0.25% and 0.375% per annum is payable on the unborrowed balance of
Term A and the revolving credit facility. The weighted average interest rate for
outstanding debt on June 30, 1999 was 7.4%. Furthermore, Charter Operating has
entered into interest rate protection agreements to reduce the impact of changes
in interest rates on our debt outstanding under its credit facilities. See
"-- Interest Rate Risk".



     We acquired Renaissance in April 1999. Renaissance has outstanding publicly
held debt comprised of 10% senior discount notes due 2008 with a $163.2 million
principal amount at maturity and an initial $100.0 million accreted value. The
Renaissance notes do not require the payment of interest until April 15, 2003.
From and after April 15, 2003, the Renaissance notes bear interest, payable
semi-annually in cash, on each April 15 and October 15, commencing October 15,
2003. The Renaissance notes are due on April 15, 2008. Due to the change of
control of Renaissance, an offer to purchase the Renaissance notes was made at
101% of their accreted value, plus accrued and unpaid interest, on June 28,
1999. Of the $163.175 million face amount of Renaissance notes outstanding,
$48.762 million were repurchased. As of June 30, 1999, approximately $82.6
million accreted value of Renaissance notes were outstanding.



     We acquired Helicon in July 1999. As of June 30, 1999, Helicon had
outstanding $115.0 million in principal amount of 11% senior secured notes due
2003. As a result of the acquisition, we are required under the change of
control covenant contained in the indenture for these notes to make an offer to
purchase these notes at a price equal to 101% of their principal amount plus
accrued interest. The Helicon notes are currently callable at 106%. We
anticipate repurchasing the Helicon notes at a price equal to 103% of their
aggregate principal amount, plus accrued interest. The call price of 103% is not
permitted until November 1, 1999. We plan to use availability under our credit
facilities to repurchase the Helicon notes.



     Falcon has outstanding publicly held debt comprised of 8.375% senior
debentures due 2010 and 9.285% senior discount debentures due 2010. Interest on
the Falcon senior debentures is payable semiannually on April 15 and October 15
of each year, commencing April 15, 2010. No interest on the Falcon senior
discount debentures will be paid prior to April 15, 2003. From and after April
15, 2003, the issuers may elect to commence accrual of cash interest payment on
any date, and the interest will be payable semi-annually in cash on each
interest payment date thereafter.



     Furthermore, in connection with the Falcon acquisition, we have amended and
restated the Falcon existing credit facilities providing for available borrowing
capacity of $1.15 billion. We are also trying to raise additional commitments
for a supplemental revolving credit facility in the maximum amount of $350
million.



     Avalon has 11 7/8% senior discount notes due 2008 and 9 3/8% senior
subordinated notes due 2008. Before December 1, 2003, there will be no payments
of cash interest on the 11 7/8% senior discount notes. After December 1, 2003,
cash interest on the 11 7/8% senior discount notes will be payable semiannually
on June 1 and December 1 of each year, commencing June 1, 2004. Interest on the
9 3/8% senior subordinated notes will be payable semiannually on June 1 and
December 1 of each year, commencing June 1, 1999.


                                       68
<PAGE>   73


     Bresnan has 8% senior notes due 2009 and 9 1/4% senior discount notes due
2009. Interest on the 8% senior notes will be payable semiannually on February 1
and August 1 of each year, commencing on August 1, 1999. On and after August 1,
2004, interest on the 9 1/4% senior discount notes will be payable semiannually
in cash on February 1 and August 1 of each year.



     Rifkin has 11 1/8% senior subordinated notes due 2006. Interest on the
Rifkin notes is payable semi-annually on January 15 and July 15 of each year.



     Following the Rifkin, Avalon, Falcon and Bresnan acquisitions, we will be
required to make offers to repurchase outstanding publicly held notes issued by
these companies due to change of control covenants contained in the indentures
for these notes. As of June 30, 1999, $1.4 billion aggregate principal amount of
notes issued by these companies was outstanding.



     As of June 30, 1999, pro forma for the pending acquisitions and
acquisitions completed since that date, our total debt was approximately $11.6
billion. Our significant amount of debt may adversely affect our ability to
obtain financing in the future and react to changes in our business. Our debt
requires us to comply with various financial and operating covenants that could
adversely impact our ability to operate our business. See the first three risk
factors discussed in "Risk Factors -- Our Business". For a more detailed
description of our debt and the debt that we will assume or refinance in
connection with our pending acquisitions, see "Description of Certain
Indebtedness."



ACQUISITIONS



     In the second and third quarters of 1999, we acquired the Renaissance,
American Cable, Greater Media, Helicon, Vista and Cable Satellite cable systems.
The total purchase price for these acquisitions was $1.9 billion, including $226
million of assumed debt. We financed the cash portion of the purchase prices for
these acquisitions through excess cash from the issuance of the Charter
Operating senior notes and borrowings under our credit facilities.



     We have agreed to purchase the InterMedia, Rifkin, Avalon, Fanch, Falcon
and Bresnan cable systems. The total purchase price for these acquisitions is
$12.3 billion, including assumed debt of $3.1 billion. The aggregate purchase
price includes up to $1.4 billion aggregate principal amount of notes
outstanding subject to change of control provisions which are triggered by the
acquisitions of the notes issuers by us. We intend to finance these acquisitions
and debt repayments as required, in part, with the proceeds of the offering, Mr.
Allen's equity contributions through Vulcan Cable III to Charter Communications
Holding Company, borrowings under the Charter Operating credit facilities, cash
and additional debt. Mr. Allen, through Vulcan Cable III, made an equity
contribution of $500 million to Charter Communications Holding Company in August
1999 and has agreed to make an additional equity contribution in the amount of
$825 million, which will be in the form of cash and certain equity interests to
be acquired in connection with the acquisition of Rifkin, in each case for
$          per membership unit. In addition, Mr. Allen has agreed to make a $750
million equity contribution to Charter Communications Holding Company at the
closing of the offering.



     These sources will not be sufficient to consummate certain of our pending
acquisitions, and we will require additional financing. We currently anticipate
that we will need to raise $1.5 billion in equity or debt financing to fund the
acquisitions. This shortfall will increase to the extent we have to repay notes
or credit facility borrowings of our pending acquisitions that are put to us or
repayable by us upon a change of control of the acquired entities. See "Risk
Factors -- We may be unable to obtain capital sufficient to consummate our
pending acquisitions".



     For a description of our recently completed and pending acquisitions, see
"Business -- Acquisitions".

</TABLE>



CERTAIN TRENDS AND UNCERTAINTIES



     SUBSTANTIAL LEVERAGE.  As of June 30, 1999, pro forma for our pending
acquisitions and recent acquisitions completed since that date, our total debt
was approximately $11.6 billion and our total stockholders' equity was
approximately $2.4 billion. We anticipate incurring substantial additional debt
in the future to fund the expansion, maintenance and the upgrade of our systems.



     Our ability to make payments on our debt and to fund our planned capital
expenditures for upgrading our cable systems will depend on our ability to
generate cash and secure financing in the future. This, to a certain extent, is
subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and
other factors that are beyond our control. Based upon the current levels of
operations, we believe that cash flow from operations, available cash, available
borrowings under Charter Operating's credit facilities and anticipated as well
as additional credit facilities related to pending acquisitions, will be
adequate to meet our liquidity and capital needs for at least the next several
years. However, there can be no assurance our business will generate sufficient
cash flow from operations, or that future borrowings will be available to us
under our existing credit facilities, new facilities or from other sources of
financing in an amount sufficient to enable us to repay our debt, to grow our
business or to fund our other liquidity and capital needs.



     VARIABLE INTEREST RATES.  A significant portion of our debt bears interest
at variable rates that are linked to short-term interest rates. If interest
rates rise, our costs relative to those obligations would also rise.



     RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS.  Our credit facilities contain a number of
significant covenants that, among other things, restrict the ability of our
subsidiaries to:



     - pay dividends;



     - pledge assets;


                                       70
<PAGE>   75


     - dispose of assets or merge;



     - incur additional debt;



     - issue equity;



     - repurchase or redeem equity interests and debt;



     - create liens; and



     - make certain investments or acquisitions.



     In addition, each of Charter Operating's credit facilities requires the
particular borrower to maintain specified financial ratios and meet financial
tests. The ability to comply with these provisions may be affected by events
beyond our control. The breach of any of these covenants will result in a
default under the applicable debt agreement or instrument, which could trigger
acceleration of the debt. Any default under Charter Operating's credit
facilities or Charter Holdings' indentures may adversely affect our growth, our
financial condition and Charter Operating's results of operations.



     IMPORTANCE OF GROWTH STRATEGY AND RELATED RISKS.  We expect that a
substantial portion of any of our future growth will be achieved through
revenues from additional services and the acquisition of additional cable
systems. We cannot assure you that we will be able to offer new services
successfully to our customers or that those new services will generate revenues.
In addition, the acquisition of additional cable systems may not have a positive
net impact on our operating results. Acquisitions involve a number of special
risks, including diversion of management's attention, failure to retain key
acquired personnel, risks associated with unanticipated events or liabilities
and difficulties in assimilation of the operations of the acquired companies,
some or all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business,
results of operations and financial condition. If we are unable to grow our cash
flow sufficiently, we may be unable to fulfill our obligations or obtain
alternative financing.



     MANAGEMENT OF GROWTH.  As a result of the acquisition of us by Paul G.
Allen, our merger with Marcus Holdings and our recent and pending acquisitions,
we have experienced and will continue to experience rapid growth that has placed
and is expected to continue to place a significant strain on our management,
operations and other resources. Our future success will depend in part on our
ability to successfully integrate the operations acquired and to be acquired and
to attract and retain qualified personnel. Historically, acquired entities have
had minimal employee benefit related costs and all benefit plans have been
terminated with acquired employees transferring to our 401(k) plan. No
significant severance cost is expected in conjunction with the recent and
pending acquisitions. The failure to retain or obtain needed personnel or to
implement management, operating or financial systems necessary to successfully
integrate acquired operations or otherwise manage growth when and as needed
could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and
financial condition.



     In connection with our pending acquisitions, we have formed
multi-disciplinary teams to formulate plans for establishing customer service
centers, identifying property, plant and equipment requirements and possible
reduction of headends. Headends are the control centers of a cable television
system, where incoming signals are amplified, converted, processed and combined
for transmission to customer. These teams also determine market position and how
to attract "talented" personnel. Our goals include rapid transition in achieving
performance objectives and implementing "best practice" procedures.



     REGULATION AND LEGISLATION.  Cable systems are extensively regulated at the
federal, state, and local level. These regulations have increased the
administrative and operational expenses of cable television systems and affected
the development of cable competition. Rate regulation of cable systems has been
in place since passage of the Cable Television Consumer Protection and
Competition Act of 1992, although the scope of this regulation recently was
sharply contracted.

                                       71
<PAGE>   76


Since March 31, 1999, rate regulation exists only with respect to the lowest
level of basic cable service and associated equipment. Basic cable service is
the service that cable customers receive for a threshold fee. This service
usually includes local television stations, some distant signals and perhaps one
or more non-broadcast services. This change affords cable operators much greater
pricing flexibility, although Congress could revisit this issue if confronted
with substantial rate increases.



     Cable operators also face significant regulation of their channel capacity.
They currently can be required to devote substantial capacity to the carriage of
programming that they would not carry voluntarily, including certain local
broadcast signals, local public, educational and government access users, and
unaffiliated commercial leased access programmers. This carriage burden could
increase in the future, particularly if the Federal Communications Commission
were to require cable systems to carry both the analog and digital versions of
local broadcast signals or if it were to allow unaffiliated Internet service
providers seeking direct cable access to invoke commercial leased access rights
originally devised for video programmers. The Federal Communications Commission
is currently conducting proceedings in which it is considering both of these
channel usage possibilities.



     There is also uncertainty whether local franchising authorities, the
Federal Communications Commission, or the U.S. Congress will impose obligations
on cable operators to provide unaffiliated Internet service providers with
access to cable plant on non-discriminatory terms. If they were to do so, and
the obligations were found to be lawful, it could complicate our operations in
general, and our Internet operations in particular, from a technical and
marketing standpoint. These access obligations could adversely impact our
profitability and discourage system upgrades and the introduction of new
products and services.



INTEREST RATE RISK


     The use of interest rate risk management instruments, such as interest rate
exchange agreements, interest rate cap agreements and interest rate collar
agreements, is required under the terms of our credit facilities. Our policy is
to manage interest costs using a mix of fixed and variable rate debt. Using
interest rate swap agreements, we agree to exchange, at specified intervals, the
difference between fixed and variable interest amounts calculated by reference
to an agreed-upon notional principal amount. Interest rate cap agreements are
used to lock in a maximum interest rate should variable rates rise, but enable
us to otherwise pay lower market rates. Collars limit our exposure to and
benefits from interest rate fluctuations on variable rate debt to within a
certain range of rates.

     The notional amounts of interest rate instruments, as presented in the
above table, are used to measure interest to be paid or received and do not
represent the amount of exposure to credit loss. The estimated fair value
approximates the proceeds (costs) to settle the outstanding contracts. Interest
rates on variable debt are estimated using the average implied forward London
Interbank Offering Rate (LIBOR) rates for the year of maturity based on the
yield curve in effect at December 31, 1998. While swaps, caps and collars
represent an integral part of our interest rate risk management program, their
incremental effect on interest expense for the years ended December 31, 1998,
1997, and 1996 was not significant.



     In March 1999, substantially all existing long-term debt, excluding
borrowings of our previous credit facilities, was extinguished, and all previous
credit facilities were refinanced with the credit facilities. The following
table sets forth the fair values and contract terms of the long-term debt
maintained by us as of June 30, 1999 (dollars in thousands):

YEAR 2000 ISSUES


     GENERAL.  Many existing computer systems and applications, and other
control devices and embedded computer chips use only two digits, rather than
four, to identify a year in the date field, failing to consider the impact of
the upcoming change in the century. Computer chips are the physical structure
upon which integrated circuits are fabricated as components of systems, such as
telephone systems, computers and memory systems. As a result, such systems,
applications, devices, and chips could create erroneous results or might fail
altogether unless corrected to properly interpret data related to the year 2000
and beyond. These errors and failures may result, not only from a date
recognition problem in the particular part of a system failing, but may also
result as systems, applications, devices and chips receive erroneous or improper
data from third-parties suffering from the year 2000 problem. In addition, two
interacting systems, applications, devices or chips, each of which has
individually been fixed so that it will


                                       73
<PAGE>   78


properly handle the year 2000 problem, could nonetheless result in a failure
because their method of dealing with the problem is not compatible.


     These problems are expected to increase in frequency and severity as the
year 2000 approaches. This issue impacts our owned or licensed computer systems
and equipment used in connection with internal operations, including:

     - information processing and financial reporting systems;

     - customer billing systems;

     - customer service systems;

     - telecommunication transmission and reception systems; and

     - facility systems.

     THIRD PARTIES.  We also rely directly and indirectly, in the regular course
of business, on the proper operation and compatibility of third party systems.
The year 2000 problem could cause these systems to fail, err, or become
incompatible with our systems.

     If we or a significant third party on which we rely fails to become year
2000 ready, or if the year 2000 problem causes our systems to become internally
incompatible or incompatible with such third party systems, our business could
suffer from material disruptions, including the inability to process
transactions, send invoices, accept customer orders or provide customers with
our cable services. We could also face similar disruptions if the year 2000
problem causes general widespread problems or an economic crisis. We cannot now
estimate the extent of these potential disruptions.

     STATE OF READINESS.  We are addressing the Year 2000 problem with respect
to our internal operations in three stages:

     (1) conducting an inventory and evaluation of our systems, components, and
         other significant infrastructure to identify those elements that
         reasonably could be expected to be affected by the year 2000 problems.
         This initiative has been completed;

     (2) remediating or replacing equipment that will fail to operate properly
         in the year 2000. We plan to be finished with the remediation by
         September 1999; and

     (3) testing of the remediation and replacement conducted in stage two. We
         plan to complete all testing by September 1999.


     Much of our assessment efforts in stage one have involved, and depend on,
inquiries to third party service providers, who are the suppliers and vendors of
various parts or components of our systems. Certain of these third parties that
have certified the readiness of their products will not certify their
interoperability within our fully integrated systems. We cannot assure you that
these technologies of third parties, on which we rely, will be year 2000 ready
or timely converted into year 2000 compliant systems compatible with our
systems. Moreover, because a full test of our systems, on an integrated basis,
would require a complete shut down of our operations, it is not practicable to
conduct such testing. However, we are utilizing a third party, in cooperation
with other cable operators, to test a "mock-up" of our major billing and plant
components, including pay-per-view systems, as an integrated system. We are
utilizing another third party to also conduct comprehensive testing on our
advertising related scheduling and billing systems. In addition, we are
evaluating the potential impact of third party failure and integration failure
on our systems.


     RISKS AND REASONABLY LIKELY WORST CASE SCENARIOS.  The failure to correct a
material year 2000 problem could result in system failures leading to a
disruption in, or failure of certain normal business activities or operations.
Such failures could materially and adversely affect our results of operations,
liquidity and financial condition. Due to the general uncertainty inherent in
the year 2000 problem, resulting in part from the uncertainty of the year 2000
readiness of third-party suppliers and customers, we are unable to determine at
this time whether the consequences of
                                       74
<PAGE>   79

year 2000 failures will have a material impact on our results of operations,
liquidity or financial condition. The year 2000 taskforce is expected to
significantly reduce our level of uncertainty about the year 2000 problem and,
in particular, about the year 2000 compliance and readiness of our material
vendors.

     We are in the process of acquiring certain cable televisions systems, and
have negotiated certain contractual rights in the acquisition agreements
relating to the year 2000. We have included the acquired cable television
systems in our year 2000 taskforce's plan. We are monitoring the remediation
process for systems we are acquiring to ensure completion of remediation before
or as we acquire these systems. We have found that these companies are following
a three stage process similar to that outlined above and are on a similar time
line. We are not currently aware of any likely material system failures relating
to the year 2000 affecting the acquired systems.


     CONTINGENCY AND BUSINESS CONTINUATION PLAN.  The year 2000 plan calls for
suitable contingency planning for our at-risk business functions. We normally
make contingency plans in order to avoid interrupted service providing video,
voice and data products to our customers. The normal contingency planning is
being reviewed and will be revised, where appropriate, to specifically address
year 2000 exposure with respect to service to customers.



     COST.  We have incurred $5.6 million in costs to date directly related to
addressing the year 2000 problem. We have redeployed internal resources and have
selectively engaged outside vendors to meet the goals of our year 2000 program.
We currently estimate the total cost of our year 2000 remediation programs,
including recent acquisitions closed as of June 30, 1999, to be approximately
$7.5 million. Although we will continue to make substantial capital expenditures
in the ordinary course of meeting our telecommunications system upgrade goals
through the year 2000, we will not specifically accelerate those expenditures to
facilitate year 2000 readiness, and accordingly those expenditures are not
included in the above estimate.



OPTIONS



     In accordance with an employment agreement between Charter Investment and
Jerald L. Kent, the President and Chief Executive Officer of Charter Investment,
and a related option agreement between Charter Communications Holding Company
and Mr. Kent, an option to purchase 3% of the equity value of Charter
Communications Holding Company, or 7,044,127 membership interests, was issued to
Mr. Kent. The option vests over a four-year period from the date of grant and
expires ten years from the date of grant.



     In February 1999, Charter Holdings adopted an option plan, which was
assumed by Charter Communications Holding Company in May 1999, providing for the
grant of options to purchase up to 25,009,798 Charter Holdco membership units.
The option plan provides for grants of options to employees and consultants of
Charter Communications Holding Company and its affiliates and consultants who
provide services to Charter Communications Holding Company. Options granted will
be fully vested after five years from the date of grant. Options not exercised
accumulate and are exercisable, in whole or in part, in any subsequent period,
but not later than ten years from the date of grant.

    option agreement.



(2) Granted pursuant to the option plan.



     We follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock
Issued to Employees" to account for the option plans. Stock option compensation
expense is recorded in the financial statements since the exercise prices are
less than the estimated fair values of the underlying membership interests on
the date of grant. Compensation expense is accrued over the vesting period of
each grant that varies from four to five years.


ACCOUNTING STANDARD NOT YET IMPLEMENTED


     In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board adopted SFAS No.
133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS No.
133 establishes accounting and reporting standards requiring that every
derivative instrument, including certain derivative instruments embedded in
other contracts, be recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or
liability measured at its fair value and that changes in the derivative's fair
value be recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting
criteria are met. Special accounting for qualifying hedges allows a derivative's
gains and losses to offset related results on the hedged item in the income
statement, and requires that a company must formally document, designate and
assess the effectiveness of transactions that receive hedge accounting. SFAS No.
137 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities -- Deferral of
the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133 -- An Amendment of FASB No. 133"
has delayed the effective date of SFAS No. 133 to fiscal years beginning after
June 15, 2000. We have not yet quantified the impacts of adopting SFAS No. 133
on our consolidated financial statements nor have we determined the timing or
method of our adoption of SFAS No. 133. However, SFAS No. 133 could increase
volatility in earnings (loss).

                                    BUSINESS

OVERVIEW


     We are the 4th largest operator of cable television systems in the United
States, serving approximately 6.2 million customers, after giving effect to our
pending acquisitions. We are currently the 6th largest operator of cable
television systems in the United States serving approximately 3.0 million
customers.



     We offer a full range of traditional cable services. Our service offerings
include the following programming packages.



     - basic programming;



     - expanded basic programming;



     - premium service; and



     - pay-per-view television programming.



     As part of our "wired world" vision, we are also beginning to offer an
array of new services including:


     - digital television;

     - interactive video programming; and

     - high-speed Internet access.

We are also exploring opportunities in telephony.

     These new products and services will take advantage of the significant
bandwidth of our cable systems. We are accelerating the upgrade of our cable
systems to more quickly provide these products and services.


     For the year ended December 31, 1998, pro forma for our merger with Marcus
Holdings and the acquisitions we completed during 1998 and 1999, our revenues
were approximately $1.3 billion. For the six months ended June 30, 1999, pro
forma for our merger with Marcus Holdings and the acquisitions we completed
during 1999, our revenues were approximately $721.4 million. Pro forma for our
merger with Marcus Holdings and our recent and pending acquisitions, for the
year ended December 31, 1998, our revenues would have been approximately $2.7
billion. Pro forma for our merger with Marcus Holdings and our recent and
pending acquisitions, for the six months ended June 30, 1999, our revenues would
have been approximately $1.4 billion.



     Paul G. Allen, the principal owner of our ultimate parent company and one
of the computer industry's visionaries, has long believed in a "wired world" in
which cable technology will facilitate the convergence of television, computers
and telecommunications. We believe cable's ability to deliver voice, video and
data at high speeds will enable it to serve as the primary platform for the
delivery of new services to the home and workplace.

BUSINESS STRATEGY

     Our objective is to increase our operating cash flow by increasing our
customer base and the amount of cash flow per customer. To achieve this
objective, we are pursuing the following strategies:

     INTEGRATE AND IMPROVE ACQUIRED CABLE SYSTEMS. We seek to rapidly integrate
acquired cable systems and apply our core operating strategies to raise the
financial and operating performance of these systems. Our integration process
occurs in three stages:

          SYSTEM EVALUATION. We conduct an extensive evaluation of each system
     we acquire. This process begins prior to reaching an agreement to purchase
     the system and focuses on the system's:

        - business plan;

        - customer service standards;

        - management capabilities; and

        - technological capacity and compatibility.

          We also evaluate opportunities to consolidate headends and billing and
     other administrative functions. Based upon this evaluation, we formulate
     plans for customer service centers, plant upgrades, market positioning, new
     product and service launches and human resource requirements.

          IMPLEMENTATION OF OUR CORE OPERATING STRATEGIES. To achieve Charter's
     high standards for customer satisfaction and financial and operating
     performance, we:

        - attract and retain high quality local management;

        - empower local managers with a high degree of day-to-day operational
          autonomy;

        - set key financial and operating benchmarks for management to meet,
          such as revenue and cash flow per subscriber, subscriber growth,
          customer service and technical standards; and

        - provide incentives to all employees through grants of cash bonuses and
          stock options.

          ONGOING SUPPORT AND MONITORING. We provide local managers with
     regional and corporate management guidance, marketing and other support for
     implementation of their business plans. We monitor performance of our
     acquired cable systems on a frequent basis to ensure that performance goals
     can be met.


The turn-around in our Fort Worth system, which our management team began to
manage in October 1998, is an example of our success in integrating newly
acquired cable systems into our operations. We introduced a customer care team
that has worked closely with city governments to improve customer service and
local government relations, and each of our customer service representatives
attended a training program. We also conducted extensive training programs for
our technical and engineering, dispatch, sales and support, and management
personnel. We held a series of sales events and service demonstrations to
increase customer awareness and enhance our community exposure and reputation.
We reduced the new employee hiring process from two to three weeks to three to
five days.



     OFFER NEW PRODUCTS AND SERVICES. We intend to expand the array of products
and services we offer to our customers to implement our "wired world" vision.
Using digital technology, we plan to offer additional channels on our existing
service tiers, create new service tiers, introduce multiple packages of premium
services and increase the number of pay-per-view channels. We also plan to add
digital music services and interactive program guides which are comprehensive
guides to television program listings that can be accessed by network, time,
date or genre. In

                                       78
<PAGE>   83


addition, we have begun to roll out advanced services, including interactive
video programming and high speed Internet access, and we are currently exploring
opportunities in telephony. We have entered into agreements with several
providers of high speed Internet and other interactive services, including
EarthLink Network, Inc., High Speed Access Corp., WorldGate Communications,
Inc., Wink Communications, Inc. and Excite @Home Corporation.



     UPGRADE THE BANDWIDTH CAPACITY OF OUR SYSTEMS. Over the next three years,
we plan to spend approximately $2.9 billion from 2000 to 2002 to upgrade to 550
megahertz or greater the bandwidth of our cable systems and the systems we
acquire through our pending acquisitions. Upgrading to at least 550 megahertz of
bandwidth capacity will allow us to:


     - offer advanced services, such as digital television, Internet access and
       other interactive services;


     - increase channel capacity up to 82 channels, or even more programming
       channels if some of our bandwidth is used for digital services; and



     - permit two-way communication which will give our customers the ability to
       send and receive signals over the cable system so that high speed cable
       services, such as Internet access, will not require a separate telephone
       line.



     As of June 30, 1999, approximately 57% of our customers were served by
cable systems with at least 550 megahertz bandwidth capacity, and approximately
34% of our customers had two-way communication capability. By year-end 2003,
including all recent and pending acquisitions, we expect that approximately 94%
of our customers will be served by cable systems with at least 550 megahertz
bandwidth capacity and two-way communication capability.



     Our planned upgrades will reduce the number of headends from 1,243 in 1999
to 479 in 2003, including our pending acquisitions. Reducing the number of
headends will reduce headend equipment and maintenance expenditures and,
together with other upgrades, will provide enhanced picture quality and system
reliability. In addition by year-end 2003, including all pending acquisitions,
we expect that approximately 94% of our customers will be served by headends
serving at least 5,000 customers.



     MAXIMIZE CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. To maximize customer satisfaction, we
operate our business to provide reliable, high-quality products and services,
superior customer service and attractive programming choices at reasonable
rates. We have implemented stringent internal customer service standards which
we believe meet or exceed those established by the National Cable Television
Association, which is the Washington, D.C.-based trade association for the cable
television industry. We believe that our customer service efforts have
contributed to our superior customer growth, and will strengthen the Charter
brand name and increase acceptance of our new products and services.



     EMPLOY INNOVATIVE MARKETING. We have developed and successfully implemented
a variety of innovative marketing techniques to attract new customers and
increase revenue per customer. Our marketing efforts focus on tailoring Charter
branded entertainment and information services that provide value, choice,
convenience and quality to our customers. We use demographic "cluster codes" to
address messages to target audiences through direct mail and telemarketing.
Cluster codes identify customers by marketing type such as young professionals,
retirees or families. In addition, we promote our services on radio, in local
newspapers and by door-to-door selling. In many of our systems, we offer
discounts to customers who purchase multiple premium services such as Home Box
Office or Showtime. We also have a coordinated strategy for retaining customers
that includes televised retention advertising to reinforce the link between
quality service and the Charter brand name and to encourage customers to
purchase higher service levels. Successful implementation of these marketing
techniques has contributed to internal customer growth rates in excess of the
cable industry average in each year from 1996


                                       79
<PAGE>   84

through 1998 for the systems we owned in each of those years. We have begun to
implement our marketing programs in all of the systems we have recently
acquired.

     EMPHASIZE LOCAL MANAGEMENT AUTONOMY WHILE PROVIDING REGIONAL AND CORPORATE
SUPPORT AND CENTRALIZED FINANCIAL CONTROLS. Our local cable systems are
organized into seven operating regions. A regional management team oversees
local system operations in each region. We believe that a strong management
presence at the local system level:

     - improves our customer service;

     - increases our ability to respond to customer needs and programming
       preferences;

     - reduces the need for a large centralized corporate staff;

     - fosters good relations with local governmental authorities; and

     - strengthens community relations.


     Our regional management teams work closely with both local managers and
senior management in our corporate office to develop budgets and coordinate
marketing, programming, purchasing and engineering activities. Our centralized
financial management enables us to set financial and operating benchmarks and
monitor performance on an ongoing basis. In order to attract and retain high
quality managers at the local and regional operating levels, we provide a high
degree of operational autonomy and accountability and cash and equity-based
compensation. Charter Communications Holding Company has adopted a plan to
distribute to employees and consultants, including members of corporate
management and key regional and system-level management personnel, options
exercisable for up to 25,009,798 Charter Communications Holding Company
membership units.



     CONCENTRATE OUR SYSTEMS IN TIGHTER GEOGRAPHICAL CLUSTERS. To improve
operating margins and increase operating efficiencies, we seek to improve the
geographic clustering of our cable systems by selectively swapping our cable
systems for systems of other cable operators or acquiring systems in close
proximity to our systems. We believe that by concentrating our systems in
clusters, we will be able to generate higher growth in revenues and operating
cash flow. Clustering enables us to consolidate headends and spread fixed costs
over a larger subscriber base.



ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE



     Each of the entities in our organizational structure and how it relates to
us is described below.



     CHARTER COMMUNICATIONS, INC.  CCI is a holding company whose sole asset
will be an approximate   % equity interest and a more than 50% voting interest
in Charter Communications Holding Company. CCI's only business will be acting as
the sole manager of Charter Communications Holding Company. As sole manager of
Charter Communications Holding Company, CCI will control the affairs of Charter
Communications Holding Company. Immediately following the offering, holders of
the Class A common stock will own more than      % of CCI's outstanding capital
stock. However, Mr. Allen, through his ownership of CCI's high vote Class B
common stock and his indirect ownership of Charter Communications Holding
Company membership units, will control approximately      % of the voting power
of all of CCI's capital stock immediately following the offering. Accordingly,
Mr. Allen will be able to elect all of CCI's directors.



     VULCAN CABLE III INC. Mr. Allen, through Vulcan Cable III, made an equity
contribution of $500 million to Charter Communications Holding Company in August
1999 and has agreed to make an additional equity contribution in the amount of
$825 million, which will be in the form of cash and certain equity interests to
be acquired in connection with the acquisition of Rifkin, in


                                       80
<PAGE>   85


each case for $          per membership unit. In addition, Mr. Allen, through
Vulcan Cable III, has agreed to make a $750 million equity contribution to
Charter Communications Holding Company at the closing of the offering. He will
pay a purchase price per membership unit equal to the net initial public
offering price per share. Mr. Allen owns 100% of the equity of Vulcan Cable III.



     CHARTER INVESTMENT, INC. Mr. Allen owns approximately 97% of the
outstanding stock of Charter Investment. The remaining equity is owned by our
founders, Jerald L. Kent, Barry L. Babcock and Howard L. Wood.



     ACQUISITION-RELATED EQUITY HOLDERS. Under the terms of the pending Rifkin,
Falcon and Bresnan acquisitions, some of the sellers will receive or have the
right to receive a portion of their purchase price in Charter Communications
Holding Company membership units rather than in cash. If they receive membership
units, they will be able to exchange these membership units for shares of Class
A common stock. Assuming that:



     (1) the initial public offering price per share of Class A common stock is
$       , which is the mid-point of the price range set forth on the cover page
of this prospectus,



     (2) all these sellers receive concurrently with the closing of the offering
the maximum number of Charter Communications Holding Company membership units
they are entitled or could elect to receive, and



     (3) all membership units are exchanged for Class A common stock,



these sellers will own   % of CCI's outstanding Class A common stock. We refer
to the issuances of Charter Communications Holding Company membership units in
these acquisitions and the exchange of these units for Class A common stock as
equity rollovers.



     CHARTER COMMUNICATIONS HOLDING COMPANY, LLC. Charter Communications Holding
Company is the indirect owner of all of our cable systems. It is the direct
parent of Charter Communications Holdings, LLC and will be the owner of the
cable systems to be acquired through four pending acquisitions: Avalon, Fanch,
Falcon and Bresnan, as described below. Charter Communications Holding Company
has an option plan permitting the issuance to employees and consultants of
Charter Communications Holding Company and its affiliates of options exercisable
for up to 25,009,798 Charter Communications Holding Company membership units of
which 9,050,881 have been granted. Membership units received upon exercise of
these options will be automatically exchanged for Class A common stock. None of
these options will vest prior to April 2000. In addition to options available
for grant to our employees under Charter Communications Holding Company's option
plan, our chief executive officer has options to purchase 7,044,127 Charter
Communications Holding Company membership units. Membership units received upon
exercise of these options will be exchangeable for Class B common stock. Of the
options granted to our chief executive officer, 25% are immediately exercisable
and the remaining 75% will vest in 36 equal monthly installments commencing on
January 1, 2000.

ACQUISITIONS


     Our primary criterion in considering acquisition and swapping opportunities
is the financial return that we expect to ultimately realize. We consider each
acquisition in the context of our overall existing and planned operations,
focusing particularly on the impact on our size and scope and the ability to
reinforce our clustering strategy, either directly or through future swaps or
acquisitions. Other specific factors we consider in acquiring a cable system
are:

     - demographic profile of the market as well as the number of homes passed
       and customers within the system;

     - per customer revenues and operating cash flow and opportunities to
       increase these financial benchmarks;

     - proximity to our existing cable systems or the potential for developing
       new clusters of systems;

     - the technological state of such system; and

     - the level of competition within the local market.

     We believe that there are significant advantages in increasing the size and
scope of our operations, including:

     - improved economies of scale in management, marketing, customer service,
       billing and other administrative functions;


     - reduced costs for our cable plants and our infrastructure in general;


     - increased leverage for negotiating programming contracts; and

     - increased influence on the evolution of important new technologies
       affecting our business.


     See "Description of Certain Indebtedness" for a description of the material
debt that we have assumed or may assume in connection with our recent and
pending acquisitions.



     MERGER WITH MARCUS HOLDINGS. On April 23, 1998, Mr. Allen acquired
approximately 99% of the non-voting economic interests in Marcus Cable Company,
L.L.C., and agreed to acquire the remaining interests in Marcus Cable. The
aggregate purchase price was approximately $1.4 billion, excluding $1.8 billion
in debt assumed. On February 22, 1999, Marcus Holdings was formed, and all of
Mr. Allen's interests in Marcus Cable were transferred to Marcus Holdings on
March 15, 1999. On March 31, 1999, Mr. Allen completed the acquisition of all
remaining interests of Marcus Cable. On April 7, 1999, the holding company
parent of the Marcus companies, Marcus Holdings, merged into Charter Holdings,
which was the surviving entity of the merger. The subsidiaries of Marcus
Holdings became our subsidiaries. During the period of obtaining the requisite
regulatory approvals for the transaction, the Marcus systems came under common
management with our subsidiaries in October 1998 pursuant to the terms of a
management agreement dated as of October 1998.

RECENTLY COMPLETED ACQUISITIONS


     RENAISSANCE. In April 1999, we purchased Renaissance Media Group LLC for
approximately $459 million, consisting of $348 million in cash and $111 million
of assumed debt. See "Description of Certain Indebtedness." As a result of our
acquisition of Renaissance, we recently completed a tender offer for this
publicly held debt due to the change of control. Holders of notes representing
30% of the total outstanding principal amount of the notes tendered their notes.
Renaissance owns cable systems located in Louisiana, Mississippi and Tennessee,
has approximately 131,000 customers and is being operated as part of our
Southern region. For the six months ended June 30, 1999, Renaissance had
revenues of approximately $30.8 million. For the year ended December 31, 1998,
Renaissance had revenues of approximately $41.5 million. At year-end 1998,
approximately 31% of Renaissance's customers were served by systems with at
least 550 megahertz bandwidth capacity.



     AMERICAN CABLE. In May 1999, we purchased American Cable Entertainment, LLC
for approximately $240 million. American Cable owns cable systems located in
California serving approximately 69,000 customers and is being operated as part
of our Western region. For the six months ended June 30, 1999, American Cable
had revenues of approximately $18.0 million. For the year ended December 31,
1998, American Cable had revenues of approximately $15.7 million. At year-end
1998, none of the American Cable system's customers were served by systems with
at least 550 megahertz bandwidth capacity or greater.



     GREATER MEDIA SYSTEMS. In June 1999, we purchased certain cable systems of
Greater Media Cablevision Inc. for approximately $500 million. The Greater Media
systems are located in Massachusetts, have approximately 174,000 customers and
are being operated as part of our Northeast Region. For the six months ended
June 30, 1999, the Greater Media systems had revenues of approximately $42.3
million. For the year ended December 31, 1998, the Greater Media systems had
revenues of approximately $78.6 million. At year-end 1998, approximately 75% of
the Greater Media system's customers were served by systems with at least 550
megahertz bandwidth capacity.



     HELICON. In July 1999, we acquired Helicon Partners I, L.P. for
approximately $550 million, consisting of $410 million in cash, $115 million of
assumed debt, and $25 million in the form of preferred limited liability company
interest of Charter-Helicon LLC, a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Charter
Communications, LLC. The holders of the preferred interest have the right to
require Mr. Allen to purchase the interest until the fifth anniversary of the
closing of the Helicon acquisition. The preferred interest will be redeemable at
any time following the fifth anniversary of the Helicon acquisition or upon a
change of control, and it must be redeemed on the tenth anniversary of the
Helicon acquisition. Helicon owns cable systems located in Alabama, Georgia, New
Hampshire, North Carolina, West Virginia, South Carolina, Tennessee,
Pennsylvania, Louisiana and Vermont, and has approximately 173,000 customers.
For the six months ended June 30, 1999, Helicon had revenues of approximately
$43.0 million. For the year ended December 31, 1998, Helicon had revenues of
approximately $75.6 million. At year-end 1998, approximately 69% of Helicon's
customers were served by systems with at least 550 megahertz bandwidth capacity.
The debt we have assumed consists of the publicly held Helicon notes. We will
make an offer to repurchase the Helicon notes at a price equal to 101% of their
principal amount, plus accrued interest, to the date of the purchase, due to the
change of control of Helicon. See "Description of Certain Indebtedness". In
connection with the acquisition of Helicon, Charter Investment entered into
separate agreements with Baum Investments, Inc. and with Roberts Cable
Corporation, GAK Cable, Inc. and Gimbel Cable Corp., pursuant to which Charter
Investment agreed to cause the underwriters to make $12 million worth of shares
of our Class A common stock being sold in this offering available for purchase
by Baum Investments, Roberts Cable, GAK Cable and Gimbel Cable, at the initial
public offering price.

<PAGE>   88


     OTHER ACQUISITIONS. In July 1999, we acquired Vista Broadband
Communications, LLC and certain cable assets of Cable Satellite of South Miami,
Inc. These cable systems are located in Georgia and southern Florida and serve a
total of approximately 38,000 customers. The total purchase price for these
other acquisitions was approximately $148 million. For the six months ended June
30, 1999, the systems acquired in connection with these other acquisitions had
revenues of approximately $9.2 million. For the year ended December 31, 1998,
these systems had revenues of approximately $15.8 million.



PENDING ACQUISITIONS



     INTERMEDIA SYSTEMS. In April 1999, two of our subsidiaries, Charter
Communications, LLC and Charter Communications Properties, entered into
agreements to purchase certain cable systems of InterMedia Capital Partners IV,
L.P., InterMedia Partners and their affiliates in exchange for approximately
$873 million in cash and certain of our cable systems. The InterMedia systems
serve approximately 412,000 customers in North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia
and Tennessee. As part of this transaction, we will "swap" some of our
non-strategic cable systems serving approximately 143,000 customers located in
Indiana, Montana, Utah and northern Kentucky. This transaction will result in a
net increase of 269,000 customers concentrated in our Southeast and Southern
regions. For the six months ended June 30, 1999, the InterMedia systems had
revenues of approximately $100.6 million. For the year ended December 31, 1998,
the InterMedia systems had revenues of approximately $176.1 million At year-end
1998, approximately 79% of these customers were served by systems with at least
550 megahertz bandwidth capacity. Following regulatory approvals, we anticipate
that the acquisition of the InterMedia systems will close during the third
quarter of 1999. Either we or the sellers under the InterMedia acquisition
agreement may terminate the agreement if the acquisition does not close by
January 15, 2000.



     RIFKIN. In April 1999, Charter Investment entered into agreements to
purchase Rifkin Acquisition Partners, L.L.L.P. and Interlink Communications
Partners, LLLP for a purchase price of approximately $1.3 billion in cash and
$125 million in assumed debt. Although none of the material terms of the grant
described below have been finalized. Certain sellers under the agreements could
elect to receive some or all of their pro rata portion of the purchase price in
the form of preferred or common equity of Charter Holdings or, if mutually
agreed by the parties, of Charter Communications Holding Company. If the Rifkin
acquisition occurs before or concurrently with this offering:



     -  The membership units will be preferred membership units, exchangeable
        for shares of our Class A common stock at the initial public offering
        price. The exact number and value of the preferred membership units in
        Charter Communications Holding Company will be determined according to a
        formula intended to value Charter Communications Holding Company at the
        time of the acquisition closing, by taking into consideration many
        factors, including the value of our pending acquisition targets and our
        debt levels.



     -  The exchange ratio will be calculated to issue to the Rifkin sellers the
        number of shares of Class A common stock equal in value to the then
        accreted value of the preferred membership units being exchanged.



     -  The right to exchange the preferred membership units for Class A common
        stock terminates concurrently with this offering.


     -  The preferred membership units will accrete at 8.0% annually and mature
        fifteen years after the closing of the acquisition.


     -  The holders of the preferred membership units will have the right to
        cause Charter Communications Holding Company to redeem the units for
        five years from the closing of the acquisition. In exchange for
        membership units, an entity controlled by Mr. Allen will


                                       84
<PAGE>   89


        make a capital contribution to Charter Communications Holding Company in
        an amount equal to the redemption price concurrently with the
        redemption.


If the Rifkin acquisition closes after this offering:


     -  The sellers may elect to receive common membership units in Charter
        Communications Holding Company.



     -  The common membership units will be exchangeable for shares of Class A
        common stock at any time and will represent a percentage interest in
        Charter Communications Holding Company determined by reference to the
        value of CCI's membership interest in Charter Communications Holding
        Company. The value of CCI's membership interest in Charter
        Communications Holding Company will be determined by reference to the
        average trading price of our Class A common stock at the time of
        exchange, taking into consideration any other debts and/or assets of
        CCI.


     -  The exchange ratio will be calculated so that the Rifkin sellers will be
        issued the number of shares of our Class A common stock equal in value
        to the membership units being exchanged.

     -  The exchange ratio for these common membership units will be determined
        by reference to the twenty-day average trading price of our Class A
        common stock prior to the exchange. If we reasonably determine that the
        issuance of shares of our Class A common stock in exchange for these
        common membership units would have to be registered under the Securities
        Act, we will have the right to purchase or register the units.

Depending on the level of seller interest, this rollover equity, if issued,
would be valued between approximately $25 million and $250 million. Because the
terms of this equity have not been finalized, and seller participation has not
been determined, we cannot be certain that any equity will be issued to the
Rifkin sellers or that the cash portion of the purchase price will be reduced
below $1.46 billion.


     The debt to be assumed consists of the publicly held Rifkin notes. As a
result of our acquisition of Rifkin, we will make an offer to repurchase the
Rifkin notes at a price equal to 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued
interest, due to the change of control of Rifkin. See "Description of Certain
Indebtedness." Additionally, pursuant to the membership interests purchase
agreement, as amended, Vulcan Cable III will purchase the equity and debt of
certain corporate holders of interests in Interlink Communications Partners,
LLLP. The interests in Interlink will be contributed to Charter Holdings and
ultimately to Charter Operating. See "Certain Relationships and Related
Transactions -- Transactions with Paul G. Allen."



     It is also contemplated that these sellers will be granted registration
rights with respect to the shares of our Class A common stock issued in exchange
for membership units in Charter Communications Holding Company. These rights
will most likely include "piggyback" and two "demand" registration rights. The
demand registration rights would be exercisable with respect to shares of Class
A common stock with a minimum value to be determined and not until we are
eligible to file a registration statement on Form S-3 under the Securities Act
of 1933.



     Rifkin owns cable systems primarily in Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana,
Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia and serving approximately 462,000
customers. For the six months ended June 30, 1999, Rifkin had revenues of
approximately $105.6 million. For the year ended December 31, 1998, Rifkin had
revenues of approximately $124.4 million. At year-end 1998, approximately 36% of
the Rifkin system's customers were served by systems with at least 550 megahertz
bandwidth capacity. Following regulatory approvals, we anticipate that this
transaction will close during the third or fourth quarter of 1999. Either we or
the sellers' agent may terminate the agreement if the acquisition has not been
completed on or prior to December 31, 1999. However, each party can require
specific performance.


                                       85

     AVALON.  In May 1999, Charter Investment and Charter Communications Holding
Company entered into an agreement to purchase directly and indirectly all of the
equity interests of Avalon Cable LLC from Avalon Cable Holdings LLC and Avalon
Investors, L.L.C. for approximately $402 million in cash and $443 million in
assumed debt. Avalon Cable operates primarily in Michigan and New England and
serves approximately 260,000 customers. For the six months ended June 30, 1999,
Avalon Cable had revenues of approximately $51.8 million. For the year ended

total principal outstanding under the Avalon 9 3/8% notes, the Avalon 11 7/8%
notes and the Avalon credit facilities, respectively. We will make an offer to
repurchase the Avalon 9 3/8% notes and the Avalon 11 7/8% notes and we may be
required to repay the Avalon credit facility. See "Description of Indebtedness."
At year-end 1998, approximately 21% of the Avalon system's customers were served
by systems with at least 550 megahertz bandwidth capacity. Following regulatory
approvals, we anticipate that the transaction will close during the fourth
quarter of 1999. Either Avalon Cable Holdings, LLC or we may terminate the
agreement if the acquisition has not been completed on or prior to March 31,
2000.



     FANCH.  In May 1999, Charter Investment entered into an agreement to
purchase the partnership interests of Fanch Cablevision of Indiana, L.P.,
specified assets of Cooney Cable Associates of Ohio, Limited Partnership,
Fanch-JV2 Master Limited Partnership, Mark Twain Cablevision Limited
Partnership, Fanch-Narragansett CSI Limited Partnership, North Texas
Cablevision, Ltd., Post Cablevision of Texas, Limited Partnership and Spring
Green Communications, L.P. and the stock of Tioga Cable Company, Inc. and Cable

Charter Investment has assigned its rights under the purchase agreement to
Charter Communications Holding Company. The cable television systems to be
acquired in this acquisition are located in Colorado, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky,
Michigan, Mississippi, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas and Wisconsin, and serve
approximately 537,000 customers. For the six months ended June 30, 1999, the
cable systems to be acquired had revenues of approximately $98.9 million. For
the year ended December 31, 1998, the systems to be acquired had revenues of
approximately $141.1 million. As of June 30, 1999, there was $969.5 million
total principal outstanding under the Fanch credit facilities. We may be
required to repay the Fanch credit facilities. See "Description of
Indebtedness." At year-end 1998, approximately half of these systems' customers
were served by systems with at least 550 megahertz bandwidth capacity. Following
regulatory approvals, we anticipate that this transaction will close during the
last quarter of 1999. Either we or the sellers may terminate the agreement if
the acquisition is not completed on or prior to March 31, 2000.



     FALCON.  In May 1999, Charter Investment entered into an agreement to
purchase partnership interests in Falcon Communications, L.P. from Falcon
Holding Group, L.P. and TCI Falcon Holdings, LLC, interests in a number of
Falcon entities held by Falcon Cable Trust and Falcon Holding Group, Inc.,
specified interests in Enstar Communications Corporation and Enstar Finance
Company, LLC held by Falcon Holding Group, L.P., and specified interests in
Adlink held by DHN Inc. Under the Falcon purchase agreement, Falcon Holding
Group, L.P. has agreed to contribute to Charter Communications Holding Company a
portion of its partnership interest in Falcon Communications, L.P. in exchange
for membership units in Charter Communications Holding Company on the following
terms:



     - The purchase price for the transaction is approximately $3.6 billion in
       cash, membership interests in Charter Communications Holding Company and
       assumed debt. From $450 to $550 million of the purchase price will be
       paid in the form of membership units in Charter Communications Holding
       Company. The exact minimum amount of the purchase price payable in
       membership units will be determined by reference to a formula in the
       purchase agreement. The purchase price includes $1.67 billion in assumed
       debt. We will not be


                                       86
<PAGE>   91


       required to repay the Falcon credit facilities but we will make an offer
       to repurchase the Falcon debentures. See "Description of Certain
       Indebtedness."



     - The exact number of membership units in Charter Communications Holding
       Company to be issued will be determined according to a formula intended
       to value Charter Communications Holding Company at the closing of the
       acquisition, taking into consideration many factors, including the value
       of our pending acquisition targets and our debt levels.



     - The membership units in Charter Communications Holding Company issued to
       Falcon Holding will be exchangeable at any time for shares of our Class A
       common stock, and we have the obligation to register or purchase the
       membership units if the issuance of shares of our Class A common stock in
       exchange for these units would require registration under the Securities
       Act.


     - The exchange ratio will be calculated to issue to Falcon Holding the
       number of shares of our Class A common stock equal in value to the
       membership units being exchanged.


     - If the membership units are exchanged concurrently with this offering,
       the shares of our Class A common stock will be valued at the initial
       public offering price.



     - If the units are exchanged after this offering, the shares of Class A
       common stock will be valued by reference to a twenty-day average trading
       price of our Class A common stock. The membership units in Charter
       Communications Holding Company will be valued by reference to the
       twenty-day average trading price and by using it to determine the value
       of CCI's membership interest in Charter Communications Holding Company,
       taking into consideration many factors, including the value of our
       pending acquisition targets and our debt levels.


     - If the Falcon acquisition is consummated prior to or concurrently with
       this offering, Falcon Holding has agreed to exercise its right to
       exchange the membership units immediately prior to this offering, so long
       as certain tax requirements are satisfied.


     If Mr. Allen sells 25% or more of his interest in Charter Investment, or if
Charter Investment sells 25% or more of its interest in us, Falcon Holding will
have the right to participate in certain of Mr. Allen's or Charter Investment's
sales. Falcon Holding and certain other Falcon parties will have "piggyback"
registration rights and, beginning 180 days after the offering, up to four
"demand" registration rights with respect to the Class A common stock issued in
exchange for the membership units in Charter Communications Holding Company. The
demand registration rights must be exercised with respect to tranches of Class A
common stock worth at least $40 million at the time of notice of demand or at
least $60 million at the initial public offering price. A majority of the
holders of Class A common stock making a demand may also require us to satisfy
our registration obligations by filing a shelf-registration statement. The
selling holders of our Class A common stock may also exercise their "piggy back"
rights with respect to this offering, to the extent the offering occurs
following or concurrently with the closing of the Falcon acquisition.



     The systems to be acquired are located in California and the Pacific
Northwest, Missouri, North Carolina, Alabama and Georgia and serve approximately
1,008,000 customers. For the six months ended June 30, 1999, the cable systems
to be acquired had revenues of approximately $212.2 million. For the year ended
December 31, 1998, the cable systems to be acquired had revenues of
approximately $307.6 million. As of June 30, 1999, Falcon had $683.7 million
total principal outstanding under the Falcon debentures. At year-end 1998,
approximately 19% of the customers of the systems to be acquired were served by
systems with at least 550 megahertz bandwidth capacity. Following regulatory
approvals, we anticipate that the transaction will close during the fourth
quarter of 1999. Either we or the sellers may terminate the agreement if the
acquisition is not completed on or prior to November 30, 2000.

     BRESNAN. In June 1999, Charter Communications Holding Company entered into
an agreement to purchase Bresnan Communications Company Limited Partnership for
a purchase price of approximately $1.1 billion in cash and $1.0 billion in the
form of equity in Charter Communications Holding Company. We also agreed to
assume approximately $1.0 billion in assumed debt. The assumed debt portion of
the purchase price will consist of a credit facility and publicly held notes. We
will make an offer to repurchase the Bresnan notes and we may be required to
repay the Bresnan credit facility. The equity portion of the purchase price will
be membership units in Charter Communications Holding Company, the total amount
of which was calculated at the time the agreements were executed to equal 6.14%
of the total membership interests in Charter Communications Holding Company. We
calculated this percentage interest based on a number of assumptions about
Charter Communications Holding Company and our pending acquisitions, including
our debt, the value of our pending acquisition targets and the enterprise value
of Charter Communications Holding Company. Accordingly, this percentage interest
may change at or prior to the closing of the Bresnan acquisition. The holders of
the membership units may exchange all or part of their units at any time for
shares of our Class A common stock. The exchange ratio will be calculated as
follows:



     - If we have no assets or debt other than our interest in Charter
       Communications Holding Company at the time of the exchange, each
       exchanging holder of membership units will receive the number of shares
       of our Class A common stock representing an indirect equity interest in
       Charter Communications Holding Company equal to the holder's pre-exchange
       direct equity interest in Charter Communications Holding Company.



     - If we have assets or debt other than our interest in Charter
       Communications Holding Company at the time of the exchange, each
       exchanging holder of membership units will receive a number of shares of
       our Class A common stock equal in value to the holder's membership units
       in Charter Communications Holding Company, taking into consideration many
       factors, including the value of our pending acquisition targets and our
       debt levels.


     If necessary, the value of the shares of our Class A common stock issued in
exchange for membership units will be calculated as follows:

     - if the exchange right is exercised concurrently with this offering,
       according to the initial public offering price; or

     - if the exchange right is exercised after this offering, according to the
       twenty-day average trading price.


     If Mr. Allen sells 25% or more of his interest in Charter Investment, or if
Charter Investment sells 25% or more of its interest in us, the Bresnan sellers
will have the right to participate in certain of Mr. Allen's or Charter
Investment's sales. Collectively, the Bresnan sellers will have "piggyback"
registration rights and, beginning 180 days after this offering, up to four
"demand" registration rights with respect to our Class A common stock issued in
exchange for the membership units in Charter Communications Holding Company. The
demand registration rights must be exercised with respect to tranches of our
Class A common stock worth at least $40 million at the time of notice of demand
or at least $60 million at the initial public offering price.



     TCI Bresnan LLC will have the right to put to Charter Communications
Holding Company its membership units or shares of Class A common stock issued in
exchange for its membership units. After 2002 and through 2010, TCI Bresnan may
exercise this right once a year during the 90-day period following each
anniversary of the Bresnan closing and no more than twice in total.



     The cable television systems to be acquired in this acquisition are located
in Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Nebraska and serve approximately 656,000
customers. For the six months ended June 30, 1999, the Bresnan cable systems we
are buying had revenues of approximately $137.3 million. For the year ended
December 31, 1998, these systems had revenues of approximately $262.0 million.
At year-end 1998, approximately 61% of these

                                       88
<PAGE>   93


systems' customers were served by systems with at least 550 megahertz bandwidth
capacity. Following regulatory approvals, we anticipate that this transaction
will close during the first quarter of 2000. The agreement may be terminated if
the acquisition has not been completed on or prior to May 1, 2000.



PRODUCTS AND SERVICES


     We offer our customers a full array of traditional cable television
services and programming and we have begun to offer new and advanced high
bandwidth services such as high-speed Internet access. We plan to continually
enhance and upgrade these services, including adding new programming and other
telecommunications services, and will continue to position cable television as
an essential service.


     TRADITIONAL CABLE TELEVISION SERVICES.  More than 87% of our customers
subscribe to both "basic" and "expanded basic" service and generally receive a
line-up of between 33 and 85 channels of television programming, depending on
the bandwidth capacity of the system. Customers who pay additional amounts can
also subscribe for additional channels, either individually or in packages of
several channels, as add-ons to the basic channels. Approximately 25% of our
customers subscribe for premium channels, with additional customers subscribing
for other special add-on packages. We tailor both our basic channel line-up and
our additional channel offerings to each system according to demographics,
programming preferences, competition, price sensitivity and local regulation.


     Our traditional cable television service offerings include the following:


     - BASIC CABLE.  All of our customers receive basic cable services, which
       generally consist of local broadcast television, local community
       programming, including governmental and public access, and limited
       satellite programming. As of June 30, 1999, the average monthly fee was
       $11.90 for basic service.



     - EXPANDED BASIC CABLE.  This expanded tier includes a group of
       satellite-delivered or non-broadcast channels, such as Entertainment and
       Sports Programming Network (ESPN), Cable News Network (CNN) and Lifetime
       Television, in addition to the basic channel line-up. As of June 30,
       1999, the average monthly fee was $16.15 for expanded basic service.



     - PREMIUM CHANNELS.  These channels provide unedited, commercial-free
       movies, sports and other special event entertainment programming. Home
       Box Office, Cinemax and Showtime are typical examples. We offer
       subscriptions to these channels either individually or in packages. As of
       June 30, 1999, the average monthly fee was $5.90 per premium
       subscription.



     - PAY-PER-VIEW.  These channels allow customers to pay to view a single
       showing of a recently released movie, a one-time special sporting event
       or music concerts on an unedited, commercial-free basis. We currently
       charge a fee that ranges from $2.95 to $8.95 for movies. For special
       events, such as championship boxing matches, we have charged a fee of up
       to $50.95.


     We have employed a variety of targeted marketing techniques to attract new
customers by focusing on delivering value, choice, convenience and quality. We
employ direct mail and telemarketing, using demographic "cluster codes" to
target specific messages to target audiences. In many of our systems, we offer
discounts to customers who purchase premium services on a limited trial basis in
order to encourage a higher level of service subscription. We also have a
coordinated strategy for retaining customers that includes televised retention
advertising to reinforce the decision to subscribe and to encourage customers to
purchase higher service levels.

     NEW PRODUCTS AND SERVICES.  A variety of emerging technologies and the
rapid growth of Internet usage have presented us with substantial opportunities
to provide new or expanded products and services to our customers and to expand
our sources of revenue. The desire for such new technologies and the use of the
Internet by businesses in particular have triggered a significant increase in
our commercial market penetration. As a result, we are in the process of
introducing a variety of new or expanded products and services beyond the
traditional offerings of analog television programming for the benefit of both
our residential and commercial customers. These new products and services
include:

     - digital television and its related enhancements;

     - high-speed Internet access, through television set-top converter boxes,
       cable modems installed in personal computers and traditional telephone
       Internet access;

     - interactive services, such as Wink; and

     - telephony and data transmission services.

     We believe that we are well positioned to compete with other providers of
these services due to the high bandwidth of cable technology and our ability to
access homes and businesses.

     DIGITAL TELEVISION.  As part of upgrading our systems, we are installing
headend equipment capable of delivering digitally encoded cable transmissions to
a two-way digital-capable set-top converter box in the customer's home. This
digital connection offers significant advantages. For example, we can compress
the digital signal to allow the transmission of up to twelve digital channels in
the bandwidth normally used by one analog channel. This will allow us to
increase both programming and service offerings, including near video-on-demand
for pay-per-view customers. We expect to increase the amount of services
purchased by our customers.

     Digital services customers may receive a mix of additional television
programming, an electronic program guide and up to 40 channels of digital music.
The additional programming falls into four categories which are targeted toward
specific markets:

     - additional basic channels, which are marketed in systems primarily
       serving rural communities;

     - additional premium channels, which are marketed in systems serving both
       rural and urban communities;

     - "multiplexes" of premium channels to which a customer previously
       subscribed, such as multiple channels of HBO or Showtime, which are
       varied as to time of broadcast or varied based on programming content
       theme which are marketed in systems serving both rural and urban
       communities; and

     - additional pay-per-view programming, such as more pay-per-view options
       and/or frequent showings of the most popular films to provide near
       video-on-demand, which are more heavily marketed in systems primarily
       serving both rural and urban communities.


     As part of our current pricing strategy for digital services, we have
established a retail rate of $4.95 to $8.95 per month for the digital set-top
converter and the delivery of "multiplexes" of premium services, additional
pay-per-view channels, digital music and an electronic programming guide. Some
of our systems also offer additional basic and expanded basic tiers of service.
These tiers of services retail for $6.95 per month. As of June 30, 1999, we had
in excess of 8,700 customers subscribing to digital services offered by 16 of
our cable systems, which serve approximately 330,000 basic cable customers. By
December 31, 1999, we anticipate that approximately 1.9 million of our customers
will be served by cable systems capable of delivering digital services.


                                       90

     INTERNET ACCESS.  We currently provide Internet access to our customers by
two principal means:

     - via cable modems attached to personal computers, either directly or
       through an outsourcing contract with an Internet service provider; and

     - through television access, via a service such as WorldGate.

We also provide Internet access in some markets through traditional dial-up
telephone modems, using a third party service provider.

     The principal advantage of cable Internet connections is the high speed of
data transfer over a cable system. We currently offer these services to our
residential customers over coaxial cable at speeds that can range up to
approximately 50 times the speed of a conventional 28.8 kilobits per second
telephone modem. Furthermore, a two-way communication cable system using the HFC
architecture can support the entire connection at cable modem speeds without any
need for a separate telephone line. If the cable system only supports one-way
signals from the headend to the customer, the customer must use a separate
telephone line to send signals to the provider, although such customer still
receives the benefit of high speed cable access when downloading information,
which is the primary reason for using cable as an Internet connection. In
addition to Internet access over our traditional coaxial system, we also provide
our commercial customers fiber optic cable access at a price that we believe is
less than 25% of the price offered by the telephone companies.

     In the past, cable Internet connections have provided customers with widely
varying access speeds because each customer accessed the Internet by sending and
receiving data through a node. Users connecting simultaneously through a single
node share the bandwidth of that node, so that users' connection speeds may
diminish as additional users connect through the same node. To induce users to
switch to our Internet services, however, we guarantee our cable modem customers
the minimum access speed selected from several speed options we offer. We also
provide higher guaranteed access speeds for customers willing to pay an
additional cost. In order to meet these guarantees, we are increasing the
bandwidth of our systems and "splitting" nodes easily and cost-effectively to
reduce the number of customers per node.


     - CABLE MODEM-BASED INTERNET ACCESS.  We have deployed cable modem-based
Internet access services in 28 markets including: Los Angeles, California; St.
Louis, Missouri; and Fort Worth, Texas.



     As of June 30, 1999, we provided Internet access service to approximately
13,460 homes and 160 commercial customers. The following table indicates the
historical and projected availability of cable modem Internet access services in
our systems, pro forma for our recent and pending acquisitions as of the dates
indicated. Only a small percentage of the homes passed currently subscribe to
these services.

     We have an agreement with EarthLink, an independent Internet service
provider, to provide as a label service Charter Pipeline(TM), which is a cable
modem-based, high-speed Internet access service we offer. We currently charge a
monthly usage fee of between $24.95 and $34.95. Our customers have the option to
lease a cable modem for $10 to $15 a month or to purchase a modem for between
$300 and $400. As of June 30, 1999, we offered EarthLink Internet access to
approximately 660,000 of our homes passed and have approximately 5,800
customers.



     We have a relationship with High Speed Access to offer Internet access in
some of our smaller systems. High Speed Access also provides Internet access
services to our customers under the Charter Pipeline(TM) brand name. Although
the Internet access service is provided by High Speed Access, the Internet
"domain name" of our customer's e-mail address and web site, if any, is
"Charter.net," allowing the customer to switch or expand to our other Internet
services without a change of e-mail address. High Speed Access provides three
different tiers of service to us. The base tier is similar to our arrangements
with EarthLink and Excite @Home. The turnkey tier bears all capital, operating
and marketing costs of providing the service, and seeks to build economies of
scale in our smaller systems that we cannot efficiently build ourselves by
simultaneously contracting to provide the same services to other small
geographically contiguous systems. The third tier allows for a la carte
selection of services between the base tier and the turnkey tier. As of June 30,
1999, High Speed Access offered Internet access to approximately 670,000 of our
homes passed, and approximately 7,000 customers have signed up for the service.
During the remaining 6 months of 1999, we, jointly with High Speed Access, plan
to launch service in an additional 18 systems, covering approximately 429,500
additional homes passed. Vulcan Ventures, Inc., a company controlled by Mr.
Allen, has an equity investment in High Speed Access. See "Certain Relationships
and Related Transactions".



     We also have a revenue sharing agreement with Excite @Home, under which
Excite @Home currently provides Internet service to customers in our systems
serving Fort Worth, University Park and Highland Park, Texas. The Excite @Home
network provides high-speed, cable modem-based Internet access using our cable
infrastructure. As of June 30, 1999, we offered At Home Internet service to
approximately 388,000 of our homes passed and had approximately 3,000 customers.


     We actively market our cable modem service to businesses in each one of our
systems where we have the capability to offer such service. Our marketing
efforts are often door-to-door, and we have established a separate division
whose function is to make businesses aware that this type of Internet access is
available through us. We also provide several virtual local area networks for
municipal and educational facilities in our Los Angeles cluster including Cal
Tech, the City of Pasadena and the City of West Covina.

     - TV-BASED INTERNET ACCESS.  We have a non-exclusive agreement with
WorldGate to provide its TV-based e-mail and Internet access to our cable
customers. WorldGate's technology is only available to cable systems with
two-way capability. WorldGate offers easy, low-cost Internet access to customers
at connection speeds ranging up to 128 kilobits per second. For a monthly fee we
provide our customers with e-mail and Internet access that does not require the
use of a PC, an existing or additional telephone line, or any additional
equipment. Instead, the customer accesses the Internet through the set-top box,
which the customer already has on his television set, and a wireless keyboard,
that is provided with the service, which interfaces with the box. WorldGate
works on advanced analog and digital converters and, therefore, can be installed
utilizing advanced analog converters already deployed. In contrast, other
converter-based, non-PC Internet access products require a digital platform and
a digital converter prior to installation.

     Customers who opt for television-based Internet access are generally
first-time users who prefer this more user-friendly interface. Of these users,
41% use WorldGate at least once a day, and 77% use it at least once a week.
Although the WorldGate service bears the WorldGate brand name, the Internet
domain name of the customers who use this service is "Charter.net". This allows
the customer to switch or expand to our other Internet services without a change
of e-mail address.


     We first offered WorldGate to customers on the upgraded portion of our
systems in St. Louis in April 1998. We are also currently offering this service
in our systems in Logan, Utah, Maryville, Illinois and Newtown, Connecticut, and
plan to introduce it in eight additional systems by December 31, 1999. Charter
Investment owns a minority interest in WorldGate which will be contributed to
Charter Communications Holding Company. See "Certain Relationships and Related
Transactions". As of June 30, 1999, we provided WorldGate Internet service to
approximately 4,300 customers.


     WINK-ENHANCED PROGRAMMING.  We have formed a relationship with Wink, which
sells technology to embed interactive features, such as additional information
and statistics about a program or the option to order an advertised product,
into programming and advertisements. A customer with a Wink-enabled set-top box
and a Wink-enabled cable provider sees an icon flash on the screen when
additional Wink features are available to enhance a program or advertisement. By
pressing the select button on a standard remote control, a viewer of a Wink-
enhanced program is able to access additional information regarding such
program, including, for example, information on prior episodes or the program's
characters. A viewer watching an advertisement would be able to access
additional information regarding the advertised product and may also be able to
utilize the two-way transmission features to order a product. We have bundled
Wink's services with our traditional cable services in both our advanced analog
and digital platforms. Wink's services are provided free of charge. A company
controlled by Mr. Allen has made an equity investment in Wink. See "Certain
Relationships and Related Transactions".

     Various programming networks, including CNN, NBC, ESPN, HBO, Showtime,
Lifetime, VH1, the Weather Channel, and Nickelodeon, are currently producing
over 1,000 hours of Wink-enhanced programming per week. Under certain
revenue-sharing arrangements, we will modify our headend technology to allow
Wink-enabled programming to be offered on our systems. Each time one of our
customers uses Wink to request certain additional information or order an
advertised product, we receive fees from Wink.

     TELEPHONE SERVICES.  We expect to be able to offer cable telephony services
in the near future using our systems' direct, two-way connections to homes and
other buildings. We are exploring technologies using Internet protocol
telephony, as well as traditional switching technologies that are currently
available, to transmit digital voice signals over our systems. AT&T and other
telephone companies have already begun to pursue strategic partnering and other
programs which make it attractive for us to acquire and develop this alternative
Internet protocol technology. For the last two years, we have sold telephony
services as a competitive access

                                       93
<PAGE>   98

provider in the state of Wisconsin through one of our subsidiaries, and are
currently looking to expand our services as a competitive access provider into
other states.

     MISCELLANEOUS SERVICES.  We also offer paging services to our customers in
certain markets. As of June 30, 1999, we had approximately 9,400 paging
customers. We also lease our fiber-optic cable plant and equipment to commercial
and non-commercial users of data and voice telecommunications services.

OUR SYSTEMS


     As of June 30, 1999, our systems consisted of approximately 74,000 miles of
coaxial and approximately 9,200 sheath miles of fiber optic cable passing
approximately 4.6 million households and serving approximately 2.7 million
customers. Coaxial cable is a type of cable used for broadband data and cable
systems. This type of cable has excellent broadband frequency characteristics,
noise, immunity and physical durability. The cable is connected from each node
to individual homes or buildings. A node is a single connection to a cable
system's main high-capacity fiber optic cable that is shared by a number of
customers. A sheath mile is the actual length of cable in miles. Fiber optic
cable is a communication medium that uses hair-thin glass fibers to transmit
signals over long distances with minimum signal loss or distortion. As of June
30, 1999, approximately 14% of our customers were served by systems with at
least 550 megahertz bandwidth capacity, approximately 38% had at least 750
megahertz bandwidth capacity and approximately 35% were served by systems
capable of providing two-way interactive communication capability. Such two-way
interactive communication capability includes two-way Internet connections,
services provided by Wink Communications, Inc., which are interactive services
that provide additional information and statistics about programs or the option
to order an advertised product while customers are viewing such programs or
advertisement, and interactive program guides. These amounts do not reflect the
impact of our recent or pending acquisitions.



     CORPORATE MANAGEMENT.  We are managed from our corporate offices in St.
Louis, Missouri. As of the closing of the offering, CCI will have eight
employees, all of whom are senior management. Pursuant to a services agreement
between CCI and Charter Investment, Charter Investment will provide CCI with the
necessary personnel to manage Charter Communications Holding Company and its
subsidiaries. Management of CCI and Charter Investment consists of approximately
200 people led by our chief executive officer Jerald L. Kent. They are
responsible for coordinating and overseeing our operations, including certain
critical functions, such as marketing and engineering, that are conducted by
personnel at the regional and local system level. The corporate office also
performs certain financial control functions such as accounting, finance and
acquisitions, payroll and benefit administration, internal audit, purchasing and
programming contract administration on a centralized basis.



     OPERATING REGIONS.  To manage and operate our systems, we have established
two divisions that contain a total of seven operating regions: Western; Central;
MetroPlex (Dallas/ Fort Worth); North Central; Northeast; Southeast; and
Southern. Each of the two divisions is managed by a Senior Vice President who
reports directly to Mr. Kent and is responsible for overall supervision of the
operating regions within. Each region is managed by a team consisting of a
Senior Vice President or a Vice President, supported by operational, marketing
and engineering personnel. Within each region, certain groups of cable systems
are further organized into clusters. We believe that much of our success is
attributable to our operating philosophy which emphasizes decentralized
management, with decisions being made as close to the customer as possible. We
anticipate that we will reorganize into a total of eleven regions with the
closings of our pending acquisitions.

     The following table provides an overview of selected technical, operating
and financial data for each of our operating regions as of and for the six
months ended June 30, 1999. The following table does not reflect the impact of
our pending acquisitions or acquisitions closed since June 30, 1999. Upon
completion of the pending acquisitions, our systems will pass approximately 9.5
million homes serving approximately 6.2 million customers.

     WESTERN REGION.  The Western region consists of cable systems serving
approximately 575,000 customers located entirely in the state of California,
with approximately 474,000 customers located within the Los Angeles metropolitan
area. These customers reside primarily in the communities of Pasadena, Alhambra,
Glendale, Long Beach and Riverside. We also have approximately 101,000 customers
in central California, principally located in the communities of San Luis
Obispo, West Sacramento and Turlock. The Western region will also be responsible
for managing approximately 169,900 customers associated with the recent
acquisition of American Cable and 190,000 customers associated with the pending
acquisition of Rifkin. According to National Decision Systems, the projected
median household growth in the counties currently served by this region's
systems is 5.2% for the period ending 2003, which is the projected U.S. median
household growth for the same period.



     The Western region's cable systems have been significantly upgraded with
approximately 68% of the region's customers served by cable systems with at
least 550 megahertz bandwidth capacity as of June 30, 1999. The planned upgrade
of the Western region's cable systems will reduce the number of headends from 21
to 18 by December 31, 2001. We expect that by December 31, 2001, 99% of this
region's customers will be served by systems with at least 550 megahertz
bandwidth capacity and two-way communication capability.



     CENTRAL REGION.  The Central region consists of cable systems serving
approximately 368,000 customers of which approximately 250,000 customers reside
in and around St. Louis County or in adjacent areas in Illinois, and over 94%
are served by two headends. The remaining approximately 118,000 of these
customers reside in Indiana, and these systems are primarily classic cable
systems serving small to medium-sized communities. The Indiana systems will be
"swapped" as part of the InterMedia transaction. See "Business -- Acquisitions".
The Central region will also be responsible for managing approximately 112,000
customers associated with the pending acquisition of Rifkin. According to
National Decision Systems, the projected median household growth in the counties
currently served by this region's systems is 4.7% for the period ending 2003,
versus the projected U.S. median household growth of 5.2% for the same period.



     At June 30, 1999, approximately 46% of the Central region's customers were
served by cable systems with at least 550 megahertz bandwidth capacity. The
majority of the cable plants in the Illinois systems have been upgraded to 750
megahertz bandwidth capacity. The planned upgrade of the Central region's cable
systems will reduce the number of headends from 34 to 31 by December 31, 2001.
We have begun a three-year project, scheduled for completion in 2001, to upgrade
the cable plant in St. Louis County, serving approximately 178,000 customers, to
870 megahertz bandwidth capability. We expect that by December 31, 2001,
approximately 89% of this region's customers will be served by cable systems
with at least 550 megahertz bandwidth capacity and two-way communication
capability.



     METROPLEX REGION.  The MetroPlex region consists of cable systems serving
approximately 187,000 customers of which approximately 131,000 are served by the
Fort Worth system. The systems in this region serve one of the fastest growing
areas of Texas. The anticipated population growth combined with the existing low
basic penetration rate of approximately 43% offers significant potential to
increase the total number of customers and the associated revenue and cash flow
in this region. According to National Decision Systems, the projected median
household growth in the counties served by this region's systems is 8.4% for the
period ending 2003, versus the projected U.S. median household growth of 5.2%
for the same period.



     The MetroPlex region's cable systems have been significantly upgraded with
approximately 72% of the region's customers served by cable systems with at
least 550 megahertz bandwidth capacity as of June 30, 1999. In 1997, we began to
upgrade the Fort Worth system to $70 megahertz of bandwidth capacity. We expect
to complete this project during 1999. The planned upgrade of the MetroPlex
region's cable systems will reduce the number of headends from 16 to 15 by
December 31, 2001. We expect that by December 31, 2001, approximately 98% of
this


                                       96
<PAGE>   101


region's customers will be served by cable systems with at least 550 megahertz
bandwidth capacity and two-way communication capability.



     NORTH CENTRAL REGION.  The North Central region consists of cable systems
serving approximately 402,000 customers. These customers are primarily located
throughout the state of Wisconsin, along with a small system of approximately
27,000 customers in Rosemont, Minnesota, a suburb of Minneapolis. Within the
state of Wisconsin, the four largest operating clusters are located in and
around Eau Claire, Fond du Lac, Janesville and Wausau. According to National
Decision Systems, the projected median household growth in the counties served
by this region's systems is 5.4% for the period ending 2003, versus the
projected U.S. median household growth of 5.2% for the same period.



     At June 30, 1999, approximately 58% of the North Central region's customers
were served by cable systems with at least 550 megahertz bandwidth capacity. The
planned upgrade of the North Central region's cable systems will reduce the
number of headends from 86 to 56 by December 31, 2001. We plan to rebuild much
of the region's cable plant and expect that by December 31, 2001, approximately
93% of this region's customers will be served by cable systems with capacity
between 550 megahertz and 750 megahertz of bandwidth capacity and two-way
communication capability.



     NORTHEAST REGION.  The Northeast region consists of cable systems serving
approximately 301,000 customers residing in the states of Connecticut and
Massachusetts. These systems serve the communities of Newtown and Willimantic,
Connecticut, and areas in and around Pepperell, Massachusetts, and are included
in the New York, Hartford, and Boston areas of demographic influence. The
Northeast region will be responsible for managing the approximately 175,000
customers associated with the recent acquisition of cable systems from Greater
Media and approximately 56,000 customers associated with the pending acquisition
of Helicon. According to National Decision Systems, the projected median
household growth in the counties currently served by this region's systems is
3.7% for the period ending 2003, versus the projected U.S. median household
growth of 5.2% for the same period.



     At June 30, 1999, approximately 57% of the Northeast region's customers
were served by cable systems with at least 550 megahertz of bandwidth capacity.
We have begun to rebuild this region's cable plant, and expect that by December
31, 2001, all of this region's customers will be served by cable systems with at
least 750 megahertz bandwidth capacity and two-way communication capability.



     SOUTHEAST REGION.  The Southeast region consists of cable systems serving
approximately 453,000 customers residing primarily in small to medium-sized
communities in North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and eastern Tennessee.
There are significant clusters of cable systems in and around the cities and
counties of Greenville/Spartanburg, South Carolina; Hickory and Asheville, North
Carolina; Henry County, Georgia, a suburb of Atlanta; and Johnson City,
Tennessee. These areas have experienced rapid population growth over the past
few years, contributing to the high rate of internal customer growth for these
systems. According to National Decision Systems, the projected median household
growth in the counties currently served by this region's systems is 6.9% for the
period ending 2003, versus the projected U.S. median household growth of 5.2%
for the same period. In addition, the Southeast region will be responsible for
managing an aggregate of 541,000 customers associated with the Helicon,
InterMedia, Rifkin, Vista and Cable Satellite acquisitions.



     At June 30, 1999, approximately 62% of the Southeast region's customers
were served by cable systems with at least 550 megahertz bandwidth capacity. The
planned upgrade of the Southeast region's cable systems will reduce the number
of headends from 60 to 49 by December 31, 2001. The rebuild program for this
region is anticipated to result in approximately 94% of this region's customer
base being served by December 31, 2001 served by cable systems with at least 550
megahertz bandwidth capacity and two-way communication capability.

     SOUTHERN REGION.  The Southern region consists of cable systems serving
approximately 449,000 customers located primarily in the states of Louisiana,
Alabama, Kentucky, Mississippi and central Tennessee. In addition, the Southern
region includes systems in Kansas, Colorado, Utah and Montana. The Southern
region has significant clusters of cable systems in and around the cities of
Birmingham, Alabama; Nashville, Tennessee; and New Orleans, Louisiana. According
to National Decision Systems, the projected median household growth in the
counties currently served by this region's systems is 6.3% for the period ending
2003, versus the projected U.S. median household growth of 5.2% for the same
period. In addition, the Southern region will be responsible for managing an
aggregate of 335,000 customers associated with the Helicon, InterMedia and
Rifkin acquisitions.



     At June 30, 1999, approximately 46% of the Southern region's customers were
served by cable systems with at least 550 megahertz bandwidth capacity. The
planned upgrade of the Southeast region's cable systems will reduce the number
of headends from 59 to 51 by December 31, 2001. The rebuild program for this
region is anticipated to result in approximately 75% of this region's customer
base being served by cable systems with at least 550 megahertz bandwidth
capacity and two-way communication capability by December 31, 2001.



     PLANT AND TECHNOLOGY OVERVIEW.  We have engaged in an aggressive program to
upgrade our existing cable plant over the next three years. For the period from
January 1, 2000 to December 31, 2002, we plan to spend approximately $5.5
billion for capital expenditures, approximately $2.9 billion of which will be
used to upgrade our systems to bandwidth capacity of 550 megahertz or greater,
so that we may offer advanced services. The remaining capital will be spent on
plant extensions, new services, converters and system maintenance.



     The following table describes the current technological state of our
systems and the anticipated progress of planned upgrades through 2001, based on
the percentage of our customers who will have access to the bandwidth and other
features shown:

</TABLE>



     We have adopted the hybrid fiber optic/coaxial architecture, referred to as
the HFC architecture, as the standard for our ongoing systems upgrades. The HFC
architecture combines the use of fiber optic cable, which can carry hundreds of
video, data and voice channels over extended distances, with coaxial cable,
which requires a more extensive signal amplification in order to obtain the
desired transmission levels for delivering channels. In most systems, we connect
fiber optic cable to individual nodes serving an average of 800 homes or
commercial buildings. We believe that this network design provides high capacity
and superior signal quality, and will enable us to provide the newest forms of
telecommunications services to our customers. The primary advantages of HFC
architecture over traditional coaxial cable networks include:


     - increased channel capacity of cable systems;


     - reduced number of amplifiers, which are devices to compensate for signal
       loss caused by coaxial cable, needed to deliver signals from the headend
       to the home, resulting in improved signal quality and reliability;



     - reduced number of homes that need to be connected to an individual node,
       improving the capacity of the network to provide high-speed Internet
       access and reducing the number of households affected by disruptions in
       the network; and


                                       98
<PAGE>   103


     - sufficient dedicated bandwidth for two-way services, which avoids reverse
       signal interference problems that can otherwise occur when you have
       two-way communication capability.


     The HFC architecture will enable us to offer new and enhanced services,
including additional channels and tiers, expanded pay-per-view options,
high-speed Internet access, wide area networks, which permit a network of
computers to be connected together beyond an area, point-to-point data services,
which can switch data links from one point to another, and digital advertising
insertion. The upgrades will facilitate our new services in two primary ways:

     - Greater bandwidth allows us to send more information through our systems.
       This provides us with the capacity to provide new services in addition to
       our current services. As a result, we will be able to roll out digital
       cable programming in addition to existing analog channels offered to
       customers who do not wish to subscribe to a package of digital services.

     - Enhanced design configured for two-way communication with the customer
       allows us to provide cable Internet services without telephone support
       and other interactive services, such as an interactive program guide,
       impulse pay-per-view, video-on-demand and Wink, that cannot be offered
       without upgrading the bandwidth capacity of our systems.

     This HFC architecture will also position us to offer cable telephony
services in the future, using either Internet protocol technology or
switch-based technology, another method of linking communications.

CUSTOMER SERVICE AND COMMUNITY RELATIONS

     Providing a high level of service to our customers has been a central
driver of our historical success. Our emphasis on system reliability,
engineering support and superior customer satisfaction is key to our management
philosophy. In support of our commitment to customer satisfaction, we operate a
24-hour customer service hotline in most systems and offer on-time installation
and service guarantees. It is our policy that if an installer is late for a
scheduled appointment the customer receives free installation, and if a service
technician is late for a service call the customer receives a $20 credit. Our
on-time service call rate was 99.8% in 1997, and 99.7% in 1998.


     As of June 30, 1999, we maintained eight call centers located in our seven
regions, which are responsible for handling call volume for more than 55% of our
customers. They are staffed with dedicated personnel who provide service to our
customers 24 hours a day, seven days a week. We believe operating regional call
centers allows us to provide "localized" service, which also reduces overhead
costs and improves customer service. We have invested significantly in both
personnel and equipment to ensure that these call centers are professionally
managed and employ state-of-the-art technology. We also maintain approximately
170 field offices, and employ approximately 2,100 customer service
representatives throughout the systems. Our customer service representatives
receive extensive training to develop customer contact skills and product
knowledge critical to successful sales and high rates of customer retention. We
have approximately 2,300 technical employees who are encouraged to enroll in
courses and attend regularly scheduled on-site seminars conducted by equipment
manufacturers to keep pace with the latest technological developments in the
cable television industry. We utilize surveys, focus groups and other research
tools as part of our efforts to determine and respond to customer needs. We
believe that all of this improves the overall quality of our services and the
reliability of our systems, resulting in fewer service calls from customers.



     We are also committed to fostering strong community relations in the towns
and cities our systems serve. We support many local charities and community
causes in various ways, including marketing promotions to raise money and
supplies for persons in need, and in-kind donations


                                       99
<PAGE>   104


that include production services and free air-time on major cable networks.
Recent charity affiliations include campaigns for "Toys for Tots," United Way,
local theatre, children's museums, local food banks and volunteer fire and
ambulance corps. We also participate in the "Cable in the Classroom" program,
whereby cable television companies throughout the United States provide schools
with free cable television service. In addition, we install and provide free
basic cable service to public schools, government buildings and non-profit
hospitals in many of the communities in which we operate. We also provide free
cable modems and high-speed Internet access to schools and public libraries in
our franchise areas. We place a special emphasis on education, and regularly
award scholarships to employees who intend to pursue courses of study in the
communications field.


SALES AND MARKETING


     PERSONNEL RESOURCES.  We have a centralized team responsible for
coordinating the marketing efforts of our individual systems. For most of our
systems with over 30,000 customers we have a dedicated marketing manager, while
smaller systems are handled regionally. We believe our success in marketing
comes in large part from new and innovative ideas and from good interaction
between our corporate office, which handles programs and administration, and our
field offices, which implement the various programs. We are also continually
monitoring the regulatory arena, customer perception, competition, pricing and
product preferences to increase our responsiveness to our customer base. Our
customer service representatives are given the incentive to use their daily
contacts with customers as opportunities to sell our new service offerings.


     MARKETING STRATEGY.  Our long-term marketing objective is to increase cash
flow through deeper market penetration and growth in revenue per household. To
achieve this objective and to position our service as an indispensable consumer
service, we are pursuing the following strategies:

     - increase the number of rooms per household with cable;

     - introduce new cable products and services;

     - design product offerings to enable greater opportunity for customer
       choices;

     - utilize "tiered" packaging strategies to promote the sale of premium
       services and niche programming;

     - offer our customers more value through discounted bundling of products;

     - deepen the penetration of the advanced digital platform within the home;

     - target households based on demographic data;

     - develop specialized programs to attract former customers, households that
       have never subscribed and illegal users of the service; and

     - employ Charter branding of products to promote customer awareness and
       loyalty.

     We have innovative marketing programs which utilize market research on
selected systems, compare the data to national research and tailor marketing
programs for individual markets. We gather detailed customer information through
our regional marketing representatives and use the Claritas geodemographic data
program and consulting services to create unique packages of services and
marketing programs. These marketing efforts and the follow-up analysis provide
consumer information down to the city block or suburban subdivision level, which
allows us to create very targeted marketing programs.

     We seek to maximize our revenue per customer through the use of "tiered"
packaging strategies to market premium services and to develop and promote niche
programming services.

                                       100
<PAGE>   105

     We regularly use targeted direct mail campaigns to sell these tiers and
services to our existing customer base. We are developing an in-depth profile
database that goes beyond existing and former customers to include all homes
passed. This database information is expected to improve our targeted direct
marketing efforts, bringing us closer toward our objective of increasing total
customers as well as sales per customer for both new and existing customers. For
example, using customer profile data currently available, we are able to
identify customers who have children under a specified age and do not currently
subscribe to The Disney Channel. We then target our marketing efforts with
respect to The Disney Channel to those households. In 1998, we were chosen by
Claritas Corporation, sponsor of a national marketing competition across all
industries, as the first place winner in their media division, which includes
cable systems operations, telecommunications and newspapers, for our national
segmenting and targeted marketing program.

     Our marketing professionals have also received numerous industry awards
within the last two years, including the Cable and Telecommunication Association
of Marketers' awards for consumer research and best advertising and marketing
programs.

     In 1998, we introduced a new package of premium services. Customers receive
a substantial discount on bundled premium services of HBO, Showtime, Cinemax and
The Movie Channel. We were able to negotiate favorable terms with premium
networks, which allowed minimal impact on margins and provided substantial
volume incentives to grow the premium category. The MVP package has increased
our premium household penetration, premium revenue and cash flow. As a result of
this package, HBO recognized us as a top performing customer. We are currently
introducing this same premium strategy in the systems we have recently acquired.

     We expect to continue to invest significant amounts of time, effort and
financial resources in the marketing and promotion of new and existing services.
To increase customer penetration and increase the level of services used by our
customers, we use a coordinated array of marketing techniques, including
door-to-door solicitation, telemarketing, media advertising and direct mail
solicitation. We believe we have one of the cable television industry's highest
success rates in attracting and retaining customers who have never before
subscribed to cable television. Historically, these "nevers" are the most
difficult customers to attract and retain.

PROGRAMMING SUPPLY

     GENERAL.  We believe that offering a wide variety of conveniently scheduled
programming is an important factor influencing a customer's decision to
subscribe to and retain our cable services. We devote considerable resources to
obtaining access to a wide range of programming that we believe will appeal to
both existing and potential customers of basic and premium services. We rely on
extensive market research, customer demographics and local programming
preferences to determine channel offerings in each of our markets. See "-- Sales
and Marketing".

     PROGRAMMING SOURCES.  We obtain basic and premium programming from a number
of suppliers, usually pursuant to a written contract. We obtain approximately
50% of our programming through contracts entered into directly with a
programming supplier. We obtain the rest of our programming through TeleSynergy,
Inc., which offers its partners contract benefits in buying programming by
virtue of volume discounts available to a larger buying base. Programming tends
to be made available to us for a flat fee per customer. However, some channels
are available without cost to us. In connection with the launch of a new
channel, we may receive a distribution fee to support the channel launch, a
portion of which is applied to marketing expenses associated with the channel
launch. The amounts we receive in distribution fees are not significant. For
home shopping channels, we may receive a percentage of the amount spent in home
shopping purchases by our customers on channels we carry. In 1998, these
revenues totalled approximately $5 million.

                                       101
<PAGE>   106

     Our programming contracts generally continue for a fixed period of time,
usually from three to ten years. Although longer contract terms are available,
we prefer to limit contracts to three years so that we retain flexibility to
change programming and include new channels as they become available. Some
program suppliers offer marketing support or volume discount pricing structures.
Some of our programming agreements with premium service suppliers offer cost
incentives under which premium service unit prices decline as certain premium
service growth thresholds are met.

     PROGRAMMING COSTS.  Our cable programming costs have increased in recent
years and are expected to continue to increase due to factors including:

     - system acquisitions;

     - additional programming being provided to customers;

     - increased cost to produce or purchase cable programming; and

     - inflationary increases.

In every year we have operated, our costs to acquire programming have exceeded
customary inflationary and cost-of-living type increases. Sports programming
costs have increased significantly over the past several years. In addition,
contracts to purchase sports programming sometimes contain built-in cost
increases for programming added during the term of the contract which we may or
may not have the option to add to our service offerings.


     Under rate regulation of the Federal Communications Commission, cable
operators may increase their rates to customers to cover increased costs for
programming, subject to certain limitations. See "Regulation and Legislation".
We now contract through TeleSynergy for approximately 50% of our programming. We
believe our partnership in TeleSynergy limited increases in our programming
costs relative to what the increases would otherwise have been. However, given
our increased size and purchasing ability, the effect may not be material. This
is because some programming suppliers offer advantageous pricing terms to cable
operators whose number of customers exceeds thresholds established by such
programming suppliers. Our increase in size as a result of our merger with
Marcus Holdings and our recent and pending acquisitions should provide increased
bargaining power, whether or not through TeleSynergy, resulting in an ability to
limit increases in programming costs. Management believes it will, as a general
matter, be able to pass increases in its programming costs through to customers,
although we cannot assure you that it will be possible.


RATES

     Pursuant to the FCC's rules, we have set rates for cable-related equipment,
such as converter boxes and remote control devices, and installation services.
These rates are based on actual costs plus a 11.25% rate of return. We have
unbundled these charges from the charges for the provision of cable service.


     Rates charged to customers vary based on the market served and service
selected, and are typically adjusted on an annual basis. As of June 30, 1999,
the average monthly fee was $11.91 for basic service and $16.15 for expanded
basic service. Regulation of the expanded basic service was eliminated by
federal law as of March 31, 1999 and such rates are now based on market
conditions. A one-time installation fee, which may be waived in part during
certain promotional periods, is charged to new customers. We believe our rate
practices are in accordance with Federal Communications Commission Guidelines
and are consistent with those prevailing in the industry generally. See
"Regulation and Legislation".

THEFT PROTECTION

     The unauthorized tapping of cable plant and the unauthorized receipt of
programming using cable converters purchased through unauthorized sources are
problems which continue to challenge the entire cable industry. We have adopted
specific measures to combat the unauthorized use of our plant to receive
programming. For instance, in several of our regions, we have instituted a
"perpetual audit" whereby each technician is required to check at least four
other nearby residences during each service call to determine if there are any
obvious signs of piracy, namely, a drop line leading from the main cable line
into other homes. Addresses where the technician observes drop lines are then
checked against our customer billing records. If the address is not found in the
billing records, a sales representative calls on the unauthorized user to
correct the "billing discrepancy" and persuade the user to become a formal
customer. In our experience, approximately 25% of unauthorized users who are
solicited in this manner become customers. Billing records are then closely
monitored to guard against these new customers reverting to their status as
unauthorized users. Unauthorized users who do not convert are promptly
disconnected and, in certain instances, flagrant violators are referred for
prosecution. In addition, we have prosecuted individuals who have sold cable
converters programmed to receive our signals without proper authorization.

FRANCHISES

     As of June 30, 1999, our systems operated pursuant to an aggregate of 1,247
franchises, permits and similar authorizations issued by local and state
governmental authorities. Each franchise is awarded by a governmental authority
and is usually not transferable unless the granting governmental authority
consents. Most franchises are subject to termination proceedings in the event of
a material breach. In addition, most franchises require us to pay the granting
authority a franchise fee of up to 5.0% of gross revenues generated by cable
television services under the franchise (i.e., the maximum amount that may be
charged under the Communications Act).

     Our franchises have terms which range from 4 years to more than 32 years.
Prior to the scheduled expiration of most franchises, we initiate renewal
proceedings with the granting authorities. This process usually takes three
years but can take a longer period of time and often involves substantial
expense. The Communications Act provides for an orderly franchise renewal
process in which granting authorities may not unreasonably withhold renewals. If
a renewal is withheld and the granting authority takes over operation of the
affected cable system or awards it to another party, the granting authority must
pay the existing cable operator the "fair market value" of the system. The
Communications Act also established comprehensive renewal procedures requiring
that an incumbent franchisee's renewal application be evaluated on its own merit
and not as part of a comparative process with competing applications. In
connection with the franchise renewal process, many governmental authorities
require the cable operator make certain commitments, such as technological
upgrades to the system, which may require substantial capital expenditures. We
cannot assure you, however, that any particular franchise will be renewed or
that it can be renewed on commercially favorable terms. Our failure to obtain
renewals of our franchises, especially those in major metropolitan areas where
we have the most customers, would have a material adverse effect on our
business, results of operations and financial condition. See "Risk
Factors--Risks Related to Regulatory and Legislative Matters". Industry". The
following table summarizes our systems' franchises by year of expiration, and

     Under the 1996 Telecom Act, cable operators are not required to obtain
franchises in order to provide telecommunications services, and granting
authorities are prohibited from limiting, restricting or conditioning the
provision of such services. In addition, granting authorities may not require a
cable operator to provide telecommunications services or facilities, other than
institutional networks, as a condition of an initial franchise grant, a
franchise renewal, or a franchise transfer. The 1996 Telecom Act also limits
franchise fees to an operator's cable-related revenues and clarifies that they
do not apply to revenues that a cable operator derives from providing new
telecommunications services.

     We believe our relations with the franchising authorities under which our
systems are operated are generally good. Substantially all of the material
franchises relating to our systems which are eligible for renewal have been
renewed or extended at or prior to their stated expiration dates.

COMPETITION


     We face competition in the areas of price, service offerings, and service
reliability. We compete with other providers of television signals and other
sources of home entertainment. In addition, as we expand into additional
services such as Internet access, interactive services and telephony, we will
face competition from other providers of each type of service. See "Risk
Factors -- We operate in a very competitive business environment which could
adversely affect our business and operations".


     To date, we believe that we have not lost a significant number of
customers, or a significant amount of revenue, to our competitors' systems.
However, competition from other providers of the technologies we expect to offer
in the future may have a negative impact on our business in the future.

     Through mergers such as the recent merger of Tele-Communications, Inc. and
AT&T, customers will come to expect a variety of services from a single
provider. While the TCI/AT&T merger has no direct or immediate impact on our
business, it encourages providers of cable and telecommunications services to
expand their service offerings. It also encourages consolidation in the cable
industry as cable operators recognize the competitive benefits of a large
customer base and expanded financial resources.

     Key competitors today include:

     - BROADCAST TELEVISION.  Cable television has long competed with broadcast
television, which consists of television signals that the viewer is able to
receive without charge using a traditional "off-air" antenna. The extent of such
competition is dependent upon the quality and quantity of broadcast signals
available through "off-air" reception compared to the services provided by the
local cable system. The recent licensing of digital spectrum by the Federal
Communications Commission will provide incumbent television licenses with the
ability to deliver

                                       104
<PAGE>   109

high definition television pictures and multiple digital-quality program
streams, as well as advanced digital services such as subscription video.

     - DBS.  Direct broadcast satellite, known as DBS, has emerged as
significant competition to cable systems. The DBS industry has grown rapidly
over the last several years, far exceeding the growth rate of the cable
television industry, and now serves approximately 10 million subscribers
nationwide. DBS service allows the subscriber to receive video services directly
via satellite using a relatively small dish antenna. Moreover, video compression
technology allows DBS providers to offer more than 100 digital channels, thereby
surpassing the typical cable system. DBS, however, is limited in the local
programming it can provide because of the current capacity limitations of
satellite technology. In addition, existing copyright rules restrict the ability
of DBS providers to offer local broadcast programming. Congress is now
considering legislation that would remove these legal obstacles. After recent
mergers, the two primary DBS providers are DIRECTV and EchoStar Communications
Corporation. America Online Inc., the nation's leading provider of Internet
services has recently announced a plan to invest $1.5 billion in Hughes
Electronics Corp., DIRECTV, Inc.'s parent company, and these companies intend to
jointly market America Online's prospective Internet television service to
DIRECTV's DBS customers.


     - DSL.  The deployment of digital subscriber line technology, known as DSL,
will allow Internet access to subscribers at data transmission speeds greater
than those of modems over conventional telephone lines. Several telephone
companies and other companies are introducing DSL service. The Federal
Communications Commission has initiated an administrative proceeding to consider
its authority and the possibility of rules to facilitate the deployment of
advanced communications services, including high speed broadband services and
interactive online Internet services. We are unable to predict the ultimate
outcome of any Federal Communications Commission proceeding, the likelihood of
success of the Internet access offered by our competitors or the impact on our
business and operations of these competitive ventures.


     - TRADITIONAL OVERBUILDS.  Cable television systems are operated under
non-exclusive franchises granted by local authorities. More than one cable
system may legally be built in the same area. Although still relatively
uncommon, it is possible that a franchising authority might grant a second
franchise to another cable operator and that franchise might contain terms and
conditions more favorable than those afforded us. In addition, entities willing
to establish an open video system, under which they offer unaffiliated
programmers non-discriminatory access to a portion of the system's cable system
may be able to avoid local franchising requirements. Well financed businesses
from outside the cable industry, such as the public utilities which already
possess fiber optic and other transmission lines in the areas they serve may
over time become competitors. There has been a recent increase in the number of
cities that have constructed their own cable systems, in a manner similar to
city-provided utility services. Constructing a competing cable system is a
capital intensive process which involves a high degree of risk. We believe that
in order to be successful, a competitor's overbuild would need to be able to
serve the homes and businesses in the overbuilt area on a more cost-effective
basis than us. Any such overbuild operation would require either significant
access to capital or access to facilities already in place that are capable of
delivering cable television programming.


     We are aware of overbuild situations in six of our systems located in
Newnan, Columbus and West Point, Georgia; Barron, Wisconsin; and Lanett and
Valley, Alabama. Approximately 44,000 basic customers, approximately 1.6% of our
total basic customers, are passed by these overbuilds. Additionally, we have
been notified that franchises have been awarded, and present potential overbuild
situations, in four of our systems located in Southlake, Roanoke and Keller,
Texas and Willimantic, Connecticut. These potential overbuild areas service an
aggregate of approximately 45,000 basic customers or approximately 1.6% of our
total basic customers. In response to such overbuilds, these systems have been
designated priorities for the upgrade of cable plant and the launch of new and
enhanced services. We have upgraded each of these systems to at least 750
megahertz two-way HFC architecture, with the exceptions of our systems


                                       105
<PAGE>   110

in Columbus, Georgia, and Willimantic, Connecticut. Upgrades to at least 750
megahertz two-way HFC architecture with respect to these two systems are
expected to be completed by December 31, 2000 and December 31, 2001,
respectively.


     - TELEPHONE COMPANIES AND UTILITIES.  The competitive environment has been
significantly affected by both technological developments and regulatory changes
enacted in The Telecommunications Act of 1996, which were designed to enhance
competition in the cable television and local telephone markets. Federal
cross-ownership restrictions historically limited entry by local telephone
companies into the cable television business. The 1996 Telecom Act modified this
cross-ownership restriction, making it possible for local exchange carriers who
have considerable resources to provide a wide variety of video services
competitive with services offered by cable systems.


     As we expand our offerings to include Internet and other telecommunications
services, we will be subject to competition from other telecommunications
providers. The telecommunications industry is highly competitive and includes
competitors with greater financial and personnel resources, who have brand name
recognition and long-standing relationships with regulatory authorities.
Moreover, mergers, joint ventures and alliances among franchise, wireless or
private cable television operators, local exchange carriers and others may
result in providers capable of offering cable television, Internet, and
telecommunications services in direct competition with us.

     Several telephone companies have obtained or are seeking cable television
franchises from local governmental authorities and are constructing cable
systems. Cross-subsidization by local exchange carriers of video and telephony
services poses a strategic advantage over cable operators seeking to compete
with local exchange carriers that provide video services. Some local exchange
carriers may choose to make broadband services available under the open video
regulatory framework of the Federal Communications Commission. In addition,
local exchange carriers provide facilities for the transmission and distribution
of voice and data services, including Internet services, in competition with our
existing or potential interactive services ventures and businesses, including
Internet service, as well as data and other non-video services. We cannot
predict the likelihood of success of the broadband services offered by our
competitors or the impact on us of such competitive ventures. The entry of
telephone companies as direct competitors in the video marketplace, however, is
likely to become more widespread and could adversely affect the profitability
and valuation of the systems.


     Additionally, we are subject to competition from utilities which possess
fiber optic transmission lines capable of transmitting signals with minimal
signal distortion.


     - SMATV.  Additional competition is posed by satellite master antenna
television systems known as "SMATV systems" serving multiple dwelling units,
referred to in the cable industry as "MDU's", such as condominiums, apartment
complexes, and private residential communities. These private cable systems may
enter into exclusive agreements with such MDUs, which may preclude operators of
franchise systems from serving residents of such private complexes. Such private
cable systems can offer both improved reception of local television stations and
many of the same satellite-delivered program services which are offered by cable
systems. SMATV systems currently benefit from operating advantages not available
to franchised cable systems, including fewer regulatory burdens and no
requirement to service low density or economically depressed communities.
Exemption from regulation may provide a competitive advantage to certain of our
current and potential competitors.

     - WIRELESS DISTRIBUTION.  Cable television systems also compete with
wireless program distribution services such as multi-channel multipoint
distribution systems or "wireless cable", known as MMDS. MMDS uses low-power
microwave frequencies to transmit television programming over-the-air to paying
customers. Wireless distribution services generally provide many of the
programming services provided by cable systems, and digital compression
technology is likely to increase significantly the channel capacity of their
systems. Both analog

                                       106
<PAGE>   111

and digital MMDS services require unobstructed "line of sight" transmission
paths. While no longer as significant a competitor, analog MMDS has impacted our
customer growth in Riverside and Sacramento, California and Missoula, Montana.
Digital MMDS is a more significant competitor, presenting potential challenges
to us in Los Angeles, California and Atlanta, Georgia.

PROPERTIES

     Our principal physical assets consist of cable television plant and
equipment, including signal receiving, encoding and decoding devices, headend
reception facilities, distribution systems and customer drop equipment for each
of our cable television systems. Our cable television plant and related
equipment are generally attached to utility poles under pole rental agreements
with local public utilities and telephone companies, and in certain locations
are buried in underground ducts or trenches. The physical components of our
cable television systems require maintenance and periodic upgrading to keep pace
with technological advances. We own or lease real property for signal reception
sites and business offices in many of the communities served by our systems and
for our principal executive offices. We own most of our service vehicles.

     Our subsidiaries own the real property housing our regional data center in
Town & Country, Missouri, as well as the regional office for the Northeast
Region in Newtown, Connecticut and additional owned real estate located in
Hickory, North Carolina; Hammond, Louisiana; and West Sacramento and San Luis
Obispo, California. Our subsidiaries lease space for our regional data center
located in Dallas, Texas and additional locations for business offices
throughout our operating regions. Our headend locations are generally located on
owned or leased parcels of land, and we generally own the towers on which our
equipment is located.

     All of our properties and assets are subject to liens securing payment of
indebtedness under the existing credit facilities. We believe that our
properties are in good operating condition and are suitable and adequate for our
business operations.

EMPLOYEES


     As of the closing of the offering, CCI will have eight employees, all of
whom are senior management. Pursuant to a services agreement between CCI and
Charter Investment, Charter Investment will provide CCI with the necessary
personnel to manage Charter Communications Holding Company and its subsidiaries.
As of June 30, 1999, Charter Communications Holding Company's subsidiaries had
approximately 4,980 full-time equivalent employees of which 280 were represented
by the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers. We believe we have a
good relationship with our employees and have never experienced a work stoppage.
See "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions".


INSURANCE

     We have insurance to cover risks incurred in the ordinary course of
business, including general liability, property coverage, business interruption
and workers' compensation insurance in amounts typical of similar operators in
the cable industry and with reputable insurance providers. As is typical in the
cable industry, we do not insure our underground plant. We believe our insurance
coverage is adequate.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

     We are involved from time to time in routine legal matters incidental to
our business. We believe that the resolution of such matters will not have a
material adverse impact on our financial position or results of operations.

                           REGULATION AND LEGISLATION

     The following summary addresses the key regulatory developments and
legislation affecting the cable television industry.

     The operation of a cable system is extensively regulated by the Federal
Communications Commission, some state governments and most local governments.
The 1996 Telecom Act has altered the regulatory structure governing the nation's
communications providers. It removes barriers to competition in both the cable
television market and the local telephone market. Among other things, it also
reduces the scope of cable rate regulation and encourages additional competition
in the video programming industry by allowing local telephone companies to
provide video programming in their own telephone service areas.

     The 1996 Telecom Act requires the Federal Communications Commission to
undertake a host of implementing rulemakings. Moreover, Congress and the Federal
Communications Commission have frequently revisited the subject of cable
regulation. Future legislative and regulatory changes could adversely affect our
operations, and there have been calls in Congress and at the Federal
Communications Commission to maintain or even tighten cable regulation in the
absence of widespread effective competition.

     CABLE RATE REGULATION.  The 1992 Cable Act imposed an extensive rate
regulation regime on the cable television industry, which limited the ability of
cable companies to increase subscriber fees. Under that regime, all cable
systems are subject to rate regulation, unless they face "effective competition"
in their local franchise area. Federal law now defines "effective competition"
on a community-specific basis as requiring satisfaction of conditions rarely
satisfied in the current marketplace.

     Although the Federal Communications Commission has established the
underlying regulatory scheme, local government units, commonly referred to as
local franchising authorities, are primarily responsible for administering the
regulation of the lowest level of cable -- the basic service tier, which
typically contains local broadcast stations and public, educational, and
government access channels. Before a local franchising authority begins basic
service rate regulation, it must certify to the Federal Communications
Commission that it will follow applicable federal rules. Many local franchising
authorities have voluntarily declined to exercise their authority to regulate
basic service rates. Local franchising authorities also have primary
responsibility for regulating cable equipment rates. Under federal law, charges
for various types of cable equipment must be unbundled from each other and from
monthly charges for programming services.


     As of June 30, 1999, approximately 21% of our local franchising authorities
were certified to regulate basic tier rates. The 1992 Cable Act permits
communities to certify and regulate rates at any time, so that it is possible
that additional localities served by the systems may choose to certify and
regulate rates in the future.



     The Federal Communications Commission itself directly administers rate
regulation of cable programming service tiers, which is expanded basic
programming offering more services than basic programming, which typically
contain satellite-delivered programming. Under the 1996 Telecom Act, the Federal
Communications Commission can regulate cable programming service tier rates only
if a local franchising authority first receives at least two rate complaints
from local subscribers and then files a formal complaint with the Federal
Communications Commission. When new cable programming service tier rate
complaints are filed, the Federal Communications Commission considers only
whether the incremental increase is justified and it will not reduce the
previously established cable programming service tier rate. We currently have
rate complaints relating to approximately 240,000 subscribers pending at the
Federal Communications Commission. Significantly, the Federal Communications
Commission's authority to regulate cable programming service tier rates expired
on March 31, 1999. The Federal Communications


                                       109
<PAGE>   114


Commission has taken the position that it will still adjudicate cable
programming service tier complaints filed after this sunset date, but no later
than 180 days after the last cable programming service tier rate increase
imposed prior to March 31, 1999, and will strictly limit its review, and
possibly refund orders, to the time period predating the sunset date. We do not
believe any adjudications regarding these pre-sunset complaints will have a
material adverse effect on our business. The elimination of cable programming
service tier regulation, which is the rate regulation of a particular level of
packaged programming services, typically referring to the expanded basic level
of service, on a prospective basis affords us substantially greater pricing
flexibility.



     Under the rate regulations of the Federal Communication Commission, most
cable systems were required to reduce their basic service tier and cable
programming service tier rates in 1993 and 1994, and have since had their rate
increases governed by a complicated price cap scheme that allows for the
recovery of inflation and certain increased costs, as well as providing some
incentive for expanding channel carriage. The Federal Communications Commission
has modified its rate adjustment regulations to allow for annual rate increases
and to minimize previous problems associated with regulatory lag. Operators also
have the opportunity to bypass this "benchmark" regulatory scheme in favor of
traditional "cost-of-service" regulation in cases where the latter methodology
appears favorable. Cost of service regulation is a traditional form of rate
regulation, under which a utility is allowed to recover its costs of providing
the regulated service, plus a reasonable profit. The Federal Communications
Commission and Congress have provided various forms of rate relief for smaller
cable systems owned by smaller operations. Premium cable services offered on a
per-channel or per-program basis remain unregulated, as do affirmatively
marketed packages consisting entirely of new programming product. However,
federal law requires that the basic service tier be offered to all cable
subscribers and limits the ability of operators to require purchase of any cable
programming service tier if a customer seeks to purchase premium services
offered on a per-channel or per-program basis, subject to a technology exception
which sunsets in 2002.



     As noted above, FCC regulation of cable programming service tier rates for
all systems, regardless of size, sunset pursuant to the 1996 Telecom Act on
March 31, 1999. Certain legislators, however, have called for new rate
regulations if unregulated cost rates increase dramatically. The 1996 Telecom
Act also relaxes existing "uniform rate" requirements by specifying that uniform
rate requirements do not apply where the operator faces "effective competition,"
and by exempting bulk discounts to multiple dwelling units, although complaints
about predatory pricing still may be made to the Federal Communications
Commission.


     CABLE ENTRY INTO TELECOMMUNICATIONS.  The 1996 Telecom Act creates a more
favorable environment for us to provide telecommunication services beyond
traditional video delivery. It provides that no state or local laws or
regulations may prohibit or have the effect of prohibiting any entity from
providing any interstate or intrastate telecommunications service. A cable
operator is authorized under the 1996 Telecom Act to provide telecommunication
services without obtaining a separate local franchise. States are authorized,
however, to impose "competitively neutral" requirements regarding universal
service, public safety and welfare, service quality, and consumer protection.
State and local governments also retain their authority to manage the public
rights-of-way and may require reasonable, competitively neutral compensation for
management of the public rights-of-way when cable operators provide
telecommunications service. The favorable pole attachment rates afforded cable
operators under federal law can be gradually increased by utility companies
owning the poles, beginning in 2001, if the operator provides telecommunications
service, as well as cable service, over its plant. The Federal Communications
Commission recently clarified that a cable operator's favorable pole rates are
not endangered by the provision of Internet access.

     Cable entry into telecommunications will be affected by the regulatory
landscape now being developed by the Federal Communications Commission and state
regulators. One critical

                                       110
<PAGE>   115

component of the 1996 Telecom Act to facilitate the entry of new
telecommunications providers, including cable operators, is the interconnection
obligation imposed on all telecommunications carriers. In July 1997, the Eighth
Circuit Court of Appeals vacated certain aspects of the Federal Communications
Commission initial interconnection order but most of that decision was reversed
by the U.S. Supreme Court in January 1999. The Supreme Court effectively upheld
most of the Federal Communications Commission interconnection regulations.
Although these regulations should enable new telecommunications entrants to
reach viable interconnection agreements with incumbent carriers, many issues,
including whether the Federal Communications Commission ultimately can mandate
that incumbent carriers make available specific network elements, remains
subject to further Federal Communications Commission review. Aggressive
regulation by the Federal Communications Commission in this area, if upheld by
the courts, would make it easier for us to provide telecommunications service.


     INTERNET SERVICE.  Although there is at present no significant federal
regulation of cable system delivery of Internet services, and the Federal
Communications Commission recently issued a report to Congress finding no
immediate need to impose such regulation, this situation may change as cable
systems expand their broadband delivery of Internet services. In particular,
proposals have been advanced at the Federal Communications Commission and
Congress that would require cable operators to provide access to unaffiliated
Internet service providers and online service providers. Certain Internet
service providers also are attempting to use existing modes of access that are
commercially leased to gain access to cable system delivery. A petition on this
issue is now pending before the Federal Communications Commission. Finally, some
local franchising authorities are considering the imposition of mandatory
Internet access requirements as part of cable franchise renewals or transfers. A
federal district court in Portland, Oregon recently upheld the legal ability of
local franchising authority to impose such conditions, but an appeal has been
filed. Other local authorities have imposed or may impose mandatory Internet
access requirements on cable operators. These developments could, if they become
widespread, burden the capacity of cable systems and complicate our own plans
for providing Internet service.


     TELEPHONE COMPANY ENTRY INTO CABLE TELEVISION.  The 1996 Telecom Act allows
telephone companies to compete directly with cable operators by repealing the
historic telephone company/cable cross-ownership ban. Local exchange carriers,
including the regional telephone companies, can now compete with cable operators
both inside and outside their telephone service areas with certain regulatory
safeguards. Because of their resources, local exchange carriers could be
formidable competitors to traditional cable operators, and certain local
exchange carriers have begun offering cable service.

     Various local exchange carriers currently are seeking to provide video
programming services within their telephone service areas through a variety of
distribution methods, including both the deployment of broadband wire facilities
and the use of wireless transmission.

     Under the 1996 Telecom Act, local exchange carriers or any other cable
competitor providing video programming to subscribers through broadband wire
should be regulated as a traditional cable operator, subject to local
franchising and federal regulatory requirements, unless the local exchange
carrier or other cable competitor elects to deploy its broadband plant as an
open video system. To qualify for favorable open video system status, the
competitor must reserve two-thirds of the system's activated channels for
unaffiliated entities. The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals recently reversed
certain of the Federal Communications Commission's open video system rules,
including its preemption of local franchising. That decision may be subject to
further appeal. It is unclear what effect this ruling will have on the entities
pursuing open video system operation.

     Although local exchange carriers and cable operators can now expand their
offerings across traditional service boundaries, the general prohibition remains
on local exchange carrier buyouts

                                       111
<PAGE>   116


of co-located cable systems. Co-located cable systems are cable systems serving
an overlapping territory. Cable operator buyouts of co-located local exchange
carrier systems, and joint ventures between cable operators and local exchange
carriers in the same market. The 1996 Telecom Act provides a few limited
exceptions to this buyout prohibition, including a carefully circumscribed
"rural exemption." The 1996 Telecom Act also provides the Federal Communications
Commission with the limited authority to grant waivers of the buyout
prohibition.


     ELECTRIC UTILITY ENTRY INTO TELECOMMUNICATIONS/CABLE TELEVISION.  The 1996
Telecom Act provides that registered utility holding companies and subsidiaries
may provide telecommunications services, including cable television,
notwithstanding the Public Utility Holding Company Act. Electric utilities must
establish separate subsidiaries, known as "exempt telecommunications companies"
and must apply to the Federal Communications Commission for operating authority.
Like telephone companies, electric utilities have substantial resources at their
disposal, and could be formidable competitors to traditional cable systems.
Several such utilities have been granted broad authority by the Federal
Communications Commission to engage in activities which could include the
provision of video programming.

     ADDITIONAL OWNERSHIP RESTRICTIONS.  The 1996 Telecom Act eliminates
statutory restrictions on broadcast/cable cross-ownership, including broadcast
network/cable restrictions, but leaves in place existing Federal Communications
Commission regulations prohibiting local cross-ownership between co-located
television stations and cable systems.

     Pursuant to the 1992 Cable Act, the Federal Communications Commission
adopted rules precluding a cable system from devoting more than 40% of its
activated channel capacity to the carriage of affiliated national video program
services. Although the 1992 Cable Act also precluded any cable operator from
serving more than 30% of all U.S. domestic cable subscribers, this provision has
been stayed pending further judicial review and Federal Communications
Commission rulemaking.


     MUST CARRY/RETRANSMISSION CONSENT.  The 1992 Cable Act contains broadcast
signal carriage requirements. Broadcast signal carriage is the transmission of
broadcast television signals over a cable system to cable customers. These
requirements, among other things, allow local commercial television broadcast
stations to elect once every three years between a "must carry" status or a
"retransmission consent" status. Less popular stations typically elect must
carry, which is the broadcast signal carriage requirement that allows local
commercial television broadcast stations to require a cable system to carry the
station. More popular stations, such as those affiliated with a national
network, typically elect retransmission consent which is the broadcast signal
carriage requirement that allows local commercial television broadcast stations
to negotiate for payments for granting permission to the cable operator to carry
the stations. Must carry requests can dilute the appeal of a cable system's
programming offerings because a cable system with limited channel capacity may
be required to forego carriage of popular channels in favor of less popular
broadcast stations electing must carry. Retransmission consent demands may
require substantial payments or other concessions. Either option has a
potentially adverse effect on our business. The burden associated with must
carry may increase substantially if broadcasters proceed with planned conversion
to digital transmission and the Federal Communications Commission determines
that cable systems must carry all analog and digital broadcasts in their
entirety. This burden would reduce capacity available for more popular video
programming and new internet and telecommunication offerings. A rulemaking is
now pending at the Federal Communications Commission regarding the imposition of
dual digital and analog must carry.


     ACCESS CHANNELS.  Local franchising authorities can include franchise
provisions requiring cable operators to set aside certain channels for public,
educational and governmental access programming. Federal law also requires cable
systems to designate a portion of their channel capacity, up to 15% in some
cases, for commercial leased access by unaffiliated third parties.

                                       112
<PAGE>   117

The Federal Communications Commission has adopted rules regulating the terms,
conditions and maximum rates a cable operator may charge for commercial leased
access use. We believe that requests for commercial leased access carriages have
been relatively limited. A new request has been forwarded to the Federal
Communications Commission, however, requesting that unaffiliated Internet
service providers be found eligible for commercial leased access. Although we do
not believe such use is in accord with the governing statute, a contrary ruling
could lead to substantial leased activity by Internet service providers and
disrupt our own plans for Internet service.


     ACCESS TO PROGRAMMING.  To spur the development of independent cable
programmers and competition to incumbent cable operators, the 1992 Cable Act
imposed restrictions on the dealings between cable operators and cable
programmers. Of special significance from a competitive business posture, the
1992 Cable Act precludes video programmers affiliated with cable companies from
favoring their cable operators over new competitors and requires such
programmers to sell their programming to other multichannel video distributors.
This provision limits the ability of vertically integrated cable programmers to
offer exclusive programming arrangements to cable companies. Recently, there has
been increased interest in further restricting the marketing practices of cable
programmers, including subjecting programmers who are not affiliated with cable
operators to all of the existing program access requirements, and subjecting
terrestrially delivered programming to the program access requirements.
Terrestrially delivered programming is programming delivered other than by
satellite. These changes should not have a dramatic impact on us, but would
limit potential competitive advantages we now enjoy.



     INSIDE WIRING; SUBSCRIBER ACCESS.  In an order issued in 1997, the Federal
Communications Commission established rules that require an incumbent cable
operator upon expiration of a multiple dwelling unit service contract to sell,
abandon, or remove "home run" wiring that was installed by the cable operator in
a multiple dwelling unit building. These inside wiring rules are expected to
assist building owners in their attempts to replace existing cable operators
with new programming providers who are willing to pay the building owner a
higher fee, where such a fee is permissible. The Federal Communications
Commission has also proposed abrogating all exclusive multiple dwelling unit
service agreements held by incumbent operators, but allowing such contracts when
held by new entrants. In another proceeding, the Federal Communications
Commission has preempted restrictions on the deployment of private antenna on
rental property within the exclusive use of a tenant, such as balconies and
patios. This Federal Communications Commission ruling may limit the extent to
which we along with multiple dwelling unit owners may enforce certain aspects of
multiple dwelling unit agreements which otherwise prohibit, for example,
placement of digital broadcast satellite receiver antennae in multiple dwelling
unit areas under the exclusive occupancy of a renter. These developments may
make it even more difficult for us to provide service in multiple dwelling unit
complexes.



     OTHER REGULATIONS OF THE FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION.  In addition to
the Federal Communications Commission regulations noted above, there are other
regulations of the Federal Communications Commission covering such areas as:


     - equal employment opportunity,

     - subscriber privacy,


     - programming practices, including, among other things,



        (1) syndicated program exclusivity, which is a Federal Communications
            Commission rule which requires a cable system to delete particular
            programming offered by a distant broadcast signal carried on the
            system which duplicates the programming for which a local broadcast
            station has secured exclusive distribution rights,



        (2) network program nonduplication,



        (3) local sports blackouts,


                                       113
<PAGE>   118


        (4) indecent programming,



        (5) lottery programming,



        (6) political programming,



        (7) sponsorship identification,



        (8) children's programming advertisements, and



        (9) closed captioning,


     - registration of cable systems and facilities licensing,

     - maintenance of various records and public inspection files,

     - aeronautical frequency usage,

     - lockbox availability,

     - antenna structure notification,


     - tower marking and lighting,


     - consumer protection and customer service standards,

     - technical standards,

     - consumer electronics equipment compatibility, and

     - emergency alert systems.

     The Federal Communications Commission recently ruled that cable customers
must be allowed to purchase cable converters from third parties and established
a multi-year phase-in during which security functions, which would remain in the
operator's exclusive control, would be unbundled from basic converter functions,
which could then be satisfied by third party vendors. The Federal Communications
Commission has the authority to enforce its regulations through the imposition
of substantial fines, the issuance of cease and desist orders and/or the
imposition of other administrative sanctions, such as the revocation of Federal
Communications Commission licenses needed to operate certain transmission
facilities used in connection with cable operations.

     COPYRIGHT.  Cable television systems are subject to federal copyright
licensing covering carriage of television and radio broadcast signals. In
exchange for filing certain reports and contributing a percentage of their
revenues to a federal copyright royalty pool, that varies depending on the size
of the system, the number of distant broadcast television signals carried, and
the location of the cable system, cable operators can obtain blanket permission
to retransmit copyrighted material included in broadcast signals. The possible
modification or elimination of this compulsory copyright license is the subject
of continuing legislative review and could adversely affect our ability to
obtain desired broadcast programming. We cannot predict the outcome of this
legislative activity. Copyright clearances for nonbroadcast programming services
are arranged through private negotiations.

     Cable operators distribute locally originated programming and advertising
that use music controlled by the two principal major music performing rights
organizations, the Association of Songwriters, Composers, Artists and Producers
and Broadcast Music, Inc.. The cable industry and Broadcast Music have reached a
standard licensing agreement, and negotiations with the Association of
Songwriters are ongoing. Although we cannot predict the ultimate outcome of
these industry negotiations or the amount of any license fees we may be required
to pay for past and future use of association-controlled music, we do not
believe such license fees will be significant to our business and operations.

     STATE AND LOCAL REGULATION.  Cable television systems generally are
operated pursuant to nonexclusive franchises granted by a municipality or other
state or local government entity in order to cross public rights-of-way. Federal
law now prohibits local franchising authorities from granting exclusive
franchises or from unreasonably refusing to award additional franchises. Cable

                                       114
<PAGE>   119

franchises generally are granted for fixed terms and in many cases include
monetary penalties for non-compliance and may be terminable if the franchisee
failed to comply with material provisions.

     The specific terms and conditions of franchises vary materially between
jurisdictions. Each franchise generally contains provisions governing cable
operations, service rates, franchising fees, system construction and maintenance
obligations, system channel capacity, design and technical performance, customer
service standards, and indemnification protections. A number of states,
including Connecticut, subject cable systems to the jurisdiction of centralized
state governmental agencies, some of which impose regulation of a character
similar to that of a public utility. Although local franchising authorities have
considerable discretion in establishing franchise terms, there are certain
federal limitations. For example, local franchising authorities cannot insist on
franchise fees exceeding 5% of the system's gross cable-related revenues, cannot
dictate the particular technology used by the system, and cannot specify video
programming other than identifying broad categories of programming.

     Federal law contains renewal procedures designed to protect incumbent
franchisees against arbitrary denials of renewal. Even if a franchise is
renewed, the local franchising authority may seek to impose new and more onerous
requirements such as significant upgrades in facilities and service or increased
franchise fees as a condition of renewal. Similarly, if a local franchising
authority's consent is required for the purchase or sale of a cable system or
franchise, such local franchising authority may attempt to impose more
burdensome or onerous franchise requirements in connection with a request for
consent. Historically, most franchises have been renewed for and consents
granted to cable operators that have provided satisfactory services and have
complied with the terms of their franchise.

     Under the 1996 Telecom Act, cable operators are not required to obtain
franchises for the provision of telecommunications services, and local
franchising authorities are prohibited from limiting, restricting, or
conditioning the provision of such services. In addition, local franchising
authorities may not require a cable operator to provide any telecommunications
service or facilities, other than institutional networks under certain
circumstances, as a condition of an initial franchise grant, a franchise
renewal, or a franchise transfer. The 1996 Telecom Act also provides that
franchising fees are limited to an operator's cable-related revenues and do not
apply to revenues that a cable operator derives from providing new
telecommunications services.

SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH CHARTER INVESTMENT



     CCI intends to enter into a services agreement with Charter Investment. The

OPTION PLAN


     Charter Holdings adopted a plan on February 9, 1999, which was assumed by
Charter Communications Holding Company on May 25, 1999, providing for the grant
of options to purchase up to 25,009,798 membership interests in Charter
Communications Holding Company, which is equal to 10% of the aggregate equity
value of the subsidiaries of Charter Communications Holding Company as of
February 9, 1999, the date of adoption of the plan. The plan provides for grants
of options to employees and consultants of Charter Communications Holding
Company and its affiliates. The plan is intended to promote the long-term
financial interest of Charter Communications Holding Company and its affiliates
by encouraging eligible individuals to acquire an ownership position in Charter
Communications Holding Company and its affiliates and providing incentives for
performance. As of June 30, 1999, there were a total of 9,494,081 options
granted under the plan. Of those, 9,050,881 options were granted on February 9,
1999 with an exercise price of $20.00 and 443,200 options were granted on April
5, 1999 with an exercise price of $20.73. One-fourth of the options granted on
February 9, 1999 vest on April 3, 2000 and the remainder vest 1/45 on each
monthly anniversary following April 3, 2000. One-fourth of the options granted
on April 5, 1999 vest on the 15 month anniversary from April 5, 1999, with the
remainder vesting 1/45 on each monthly anniversary for 45 months following the
15 month anniversary. The options expire after ten years from the date of grant.
Under the terms of the plan, following the consummation of the offering, each
membership unit


                                       124
<PAGE>   129

held as a result of exercise of options will be exchanged automatically for
shares of Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis.


     Any unvested options issued under the plan vest immediately upon a change
of control of Charter Communications Holding Company. Options will not vest upon
a change of control, however, to the extent that any such acceleration of
vesting would result in the disallowance of specified tax deductions that would
otherwise be available to Charter Communications Holding Company or any of its
affiliates or to the extent that any optionee would be liable for any excise tax
under a specified section of the tax code. In the plan, a change of control
includes:



          (1) a sale of more than 49.9% of the outstanding membership interests
     in Charter Communications Holding Company, except where Mr. Allen and his
     affiliates retain effective voting control of Charter Communications
     Holding Company;



          (2) a merger or consolidation of Charter Communications Holding
     Company with or into any other corporation or entity, except where Mr.
     Allen and his affiliates retain effective voting control of Charter
     Communications Holding Company; or



          (3) any other transactions or event, including a sale of the assets of
     Charter Communications Holding Company, that results in Mr. Allen holding
     less than 50.1% of the voting power of the surviving entity, except where
     Mr. Allen and his affiliates retain effective voting control of Charter
     Communications Holding Company.



     If an optionee's employment with or service to Charter Communications
Holding Company or its affiliates is terminated other than for cause prior to an
initial public offering, the optionee has the right, for a period of thirty (30)
days, to put to Charter Communications Holding Company or Mr. Allen at Mr.
Allen's option,



     (1) all vested options, and



     (2) all membership interests in Charter Communications Holding Company
owned by such optionee, whether or not obtained by the exercise of options
granted under the plan,



in each case at a purchase price calculated based on the fair market value of
Charter Communications Holding Company. If an optionee does not exercise his put
right as described above, Charter Communications Holding Company has the right
for a period of sixty (60) days to purchase from the optionee all vested options
at a price equal to an option spread calculated based on fair market value or,
with respect to membership interests, the fair market value of the membership
interests obtained by the exercise of any options. Any such payments would be
paid to the optionee in the form of cash or a ten-year note, at the option of
Mr. Allen or Charter Communications Holding Company.



     If an optionee's employment with or service to Charter Communications
Holding Company or its affiliates is terminated other than for cause prior to an
initial public offering, the optionee has the right for a period of sixty (60)
days to exercise any vested options. Any options not so exercised terminate
after this 60-day period. For all purposes under the plan, an initial public
offering includes a public offering of the common stock of Charter
Communications Holding Company's parent.


LIMITATION OF DIRECTORS' LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION MATTERS


     CCI's certificate of incorporation will limit the liability of directors to
the maximum extent permitted by Delaware law. The Delaware General Corporation
Law provides that a corporation may eliminate or limit the personal liability of
a director for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director,
except for liability for:



     (1) any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation and its
stockholders;


                                       125
<PAGE>   130


     (2) acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional
misconduct or a knowing violation of law;



     (3) unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock purchases or
redemptions; or



     (4) any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal
benefit.


     CCI's bylaws provide that CCI shall indemnify all persons whom it may
indemnify pursuant thereto to the fullest extent permitted by law.

     CCI plans to enter into agreements to indemnify its directors and officers,
in addition to the indemnification provided for in CCI's bylaws. These
agreements, among other things, will provide for the indemnification of CCI's
directors and officers for certain expenses (including attorney's fees),
judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred by any such person in any
action or proceeding, including any action by or in the right of CCI, arising
out of such person's services as CCI's director or officer, to any of CCI's
subsidiaries or to any other company or enterprise to which the person provides
services at CCI's request. CCI believes that these provisions and agreements
will be necessary to attract and retain qualified directors and officers.


     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling CCI pursuant to
the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

                 CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

     The following sets forth certain transactions in which we and our
directors, executive officers and affiliates, including the directors and
executive officers of Charter Investment, are involved. We believe that each of
the transactions described below was on terms no less favorable to us than could
have been obtained from independent third parties.


TRANSACTIONS WITH MANAGEMENT AND OTHERS



MERGER WITH MARCUS



     On April 23, 1998, Mr. Allen acquired approximately 99% of the non-voting
economic interests in Marcus Cable, and agreed to acquire the remaining
interests in Marcus Cable. The aggregate purchase price was approximately $1.4
billion, excluding $1.8 billion in debt assumed. On February 22, 1999, Marcus
Holdings was formed, and all of Mr. Allen's interests in Marcus Cable were
transferred to Marcus Holdings on March 15, 1999. On March 31, 1999, Mr. Allen
completed the acquisition of all remaining interests of Marcus Cable.



     On December 23, 1998, Mr. Allen acquired approximately 94% of the equity of
Charter Investment for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $2.2
billion, excluding $2.0 billion in debt assumed. On February 9, 1999, Charter
Holdings was formed as a wholly owned subsidiary of Charter Investment. On
February 10, 1999, Charter Operating was formed as a wholly owned subsidiary of
Charter Holdings. All of Charter Investment's equity interests in its operating
subsidiaries were subsequently transferred to Charter Operating. On May 25,
1999, Charter Communications Holding Company was formed as a wholly owned
subsidiary of Charter Investment. All of Charter Investment's equity interests
in Charter Holdings were transferred to Charter Communications Holding Company.



     In March 1999, we paid $20 million to Vulcan Northwest, an affiliate of Mr.
Allen, for reimbursement of direct costs incurred in connection with Mr. Allen's
acquisition of Marcus Cable. Such costs were principally comprised of financial,
advisory, legal and accounting fees.



     On April 7, 1999, Mr. Allen merged Marcus Holdings into Charter Holdings.
Charter Holdings survived the merger, and the operating subsidiaries of Marcus
Holdings became subsidiaries of Charter Holdings.



     At the time Charter Holdings issued $3.6 billion in principal amount of
notes, this merger had not yet occurred. Consequently, Marcus Holdings was a
party to the indentures governing the notes as a guarantor of Charter Holdings
obligations. Charter Holdings loaned some of the proceeds from the sale of the
original notes to Marcus Holdings, which amounts were used to complete the cash
tender offers for then-outstanding notes of subsidiaries of Marcus Holdings.
Marcus Holdings issued a promissory note in favor of Charter Holdings. The
promissory note was in the amount of $1.7 billion, with an interest rate of
9.92% and a maturity date of April 1, 2007. Marcus Holdings guaranteed its
obligations under the promissory note by entering into a pledge agreement in
favor of Charter Holdings pursuant to which Marcus Holdings pledged all of its
equity interests in Marcus Cable as collateral for the payment and performance
of the promissory note. Charter Holdings pledged this promissory note to the
trustee under the indentures as collateral for the equal and ratable benefit of
the holders of the notes. Upon the closing of the merger, and in accordance with
the terms of the notes and the indentures:



     - the guarantee issued by Marcus Holdings was automatically terminated;



     - the promissory note issued by Marcus Holdings was automatically
       extinguished, with no interest having accrued or being paid; and



     - the pledge in favor of Charter Holdings of the equity interests in Marcus
       Cable as collateral under the promissory note and the pledge in favor of
       the trustee of the promissory note as collateral for the notes were
       automatically released.

MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS


     PREVIOUS MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS.  Prior to March 18, 1999, pursuant to a
series of management agreements with certain of our subsidiaries Charter
Investment provided management and consulting services to those subsidiaries. In
exchange for these services, Charter Investment was entitled to receive
management fees of 3% to 5% of the gross revenues of all of our systems plus
reimbursement of expenses. However, our previous credit facilities limited such
management fees to 3% of gross revenues. The balance of management fees payable
under the previous management agreements were accrued. Payment is at the
discretion of Charter Investment. Certain deferred portions of management fees
bore interest at the rate of 8% per annum. Following the closing of our current
credit facilities, the previous management agreements were replaced by a new
management agreement. The other material terms of our previous management
agreements are substantially similar to the material terms of the new management
agreement.



     PREVIOUS MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT WITH MARCUS.  On October 6, 1998, Marcus
Cable entered into a management consulting agreement with Charter Investment
pursuant to which Charter Investment agreed to provide certain management and
consulting services to Marcus Cable and its subsidiaries, in exchange for a fee
equal to 3% of the gross revenues of Marcus Cable's systems plus reimbursement
of expenses. Management fees expensed by Marcus Cable during the period from
October 1998 to December 31, 1998 were approximately $3.3 million. Upon Charter
Holdings' merger with Marcus Holdings and the closing of our current credit
facilities, this agreement was terminated and the subsidiaries of Marcus Cable
now receive management and consulting services from Charter Investment under the
new management agreement.



     THE NEW MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT.  On February 23, 1999, Charter Investment
entered into a new management agreement with Charter Operating, which was
amended and restated as of March 17, 1999. Upon the closing of our current
credit facilities on March 18, 1999, our previous management agreements and the
management consulting agreement with Marcus Cable terminated and the new
management agreement became operative. Pursuant to the new management agreement,
Charter Investment has agreed to manage and operate the cable television systems
owned by Charter Operating's subsidiaries, as well as any cable television
systems Charter Operating may subsequently acquire in the future. The term of
the new management agreement is ten years.



     The new management agreement provides that Charter Operating will reimburse
Charter Investment for all expenses, costs, losses, liabilities or damages
incurred by it in connection with Charter Operating's ownership or operation of
Charter Operating's cable television systems. If Charter Investment pays or
incurs any such expenses, costs, losses, liabilities or damages, it will be
reimbursed. In addition to any reimbursement of expenses, Charter Investment is
paid a yearly management fee equal to 3.5% of our gross revenues. Gross revenues
include all revenues from the operation of Charter Operating's cable systems,
including, without limitation, subscriber payments, advertising revenues, and
revenues from other services provided by Charter Operating's cable systems.
Gross revenues do not include interest income or income from investments
unrelated to our cable systems.



     Payment of the management fee to Charter Investment is permitted under our
current credit facilities, but ranks below our payment obligations under our
current credit facilities. In the event any portion of the management fee due
and payable is not paid by Charter Operating, it is deferred and accrued as a
liability. Any deferred amount of the management fee will bear interest at the
rate of 10% per annum, compounded annually, from the date it was due and payable
until the date it is paid. As of June 30, 1999, no interest had been accrued.


     The management fee is payable to Charter Investment quarterly in arrears.
If the current management agreement is terminated, Charter Investment is
entitled to receive the fee payable

                                       129
<PAGE>   134


for an entire quarter, even if termination occurred before the end of that
quarter. Additionally, Charter Investment is entitled to receive payment of any
deferred amount.



     Pursuant to the terms of the new management agreement, we have agreed to
indemnify and hold harmless Charter Investment and its shareholders, directors,
officers and employees. This indemnity extends to any and all claims or
expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred by them in connection
with any action not constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct taken by
them in good faith in the discharge of their duties to us.



     The total management fees, including expenses, earned by Charter Investment
under all management agreements were as follows:

     As of June 30, 1999, approximately $17.0 million remains unpaid for all
management agreements.



     Upon the closing of the offering, Charter Investment will assign to us all
of its rights and obligations under this Charter Operating management agreement.
In connection with the assignment, the Charter Operating management agreement
will be amended to eliminate the 3.5% management fee. Under the amended
agreement, CCI will be entitled to reimbursement from Charter Operating for all
of its expenses, costs, losses, liabilities and damages paid or incurred by us
in connection with the performance of its obligations under the amended
agreement. The total annual amount of such reimbursement is limited under
Charter Holdings' indentures for the notes issued in March 1999 to 3.5% of the
total annual gross revenues of Charter Operating's subsidiaries.



MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT WITH CHARTER COMMUNICATIONS, INC.  Upon the closing of the
offering, CCI intends to enter into a management agreement with Charter
Communications Holding Company. This management agreement will provide that CCI
will manage and operate the cable television systems owned or to be acquired by
Charter Communications Holding Company and its subsidiaries.



     The terms of the CCI management agreement will be substantially similar to
the terms of the Charter Operating management agreement, except that CCI will
not be paid a yearly 3.5% management fee. CCI will be entitled to reimbursement
from Charter Communications Holding Company for all expenses, costs, losses,
liabilities and damages paid or incurred by CCI in connection with the
performance of its services, which expenses will include any fees CCI is
obligated to pay under the service agreement described below.



     SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH CHARTER INVESTMENT.  Upon the closing of the
offering, CCI intends to enter into a services agreement with Charter
Investment. The services agreement will provide that Charter Investment will
provide to CCI the personnel and services CCI requires to fulfill obligations as
the sole manager of Charter Communications Holding Company and its subsidiaries
pursuant to the CCI management agreement and the Charter Operating management
agreement. Charter Investment will not receive a fee for providing the personnel
and services, but Charter Investments will be entitled to reimbursement of all
expenses, costs, losses, liabilities and damages paid or incurred by it in
connection with the performance of its obligations under the services agreement.

CONSULTING AGREEMENT



       On March 10, 1999, Charter Holdings entered into a consulting agreement
with Vulcan Northwest and Charter Investment. Pursuant to the terms of the
consulting agreement, we retained Vulcan Northwest and Charter Investment to
provide advisory, financial and other consulting services with respect to
acquisitions of the business, assets or stock of other companies by us or by any
of our subsidiaries. Such services include participation in the evaluation,
negotiation and implementation of these acquisitions. The agreement expires on
December 31, 2000, and automatically renews for successive one-year terms unless
otherwise terminated.



     All reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Vulcan Northwest and
Charter Investment are our responsibility and must be reimbursed. We must also
pay Vulcan Northwest and Charter Investment a fee for their services rendered
for each acquisition made by Charter Holdings or any of its subsidiaries. This
fee equals 1% of the aggregate value of such acquisition. Neither Vulcan
Northwest nor Charter Investment will receive a fee in connection with the
American Cable, Renaissance, Greater Media, Helicon, Vista, Cable Satellite,
InterMedia and Rifkin acquisitions. No such fee is planned to be paid to either
Vulcan Northwest or Charter Investment in connection with other acquisitions
being made by our affiliates. We have also agreed to indemnify and hold harmless
Vulcan Northwest and Charter Investment, and their respective officers,
directors, stockholders, agents, employees and affiliates, for all claims,
actions, demands and expenses that arise out of this consulting agreement and
the services they provide us.



     Mr. Allen owns 100% of Vulcan Northwest and is the Chairman of the Board.
William D. Savoy, another of our directors, is the President and a director of
Vulcan Northwest.



TRANSACTIONS WITH PAUL G. ALLEN



     On December 21, 1998, Mr. Allen contributed approximately $431 million to
Charter Investment and received non-voting common stock of Charter Investment.
Such non-voting common stock was converted to voting common stock on December
23, 1998.



     On December 23, 1998, Mr. Allen contributed approximately $1.3 billion to
Charter Investment and received voting common stock of Charter Investment.
Additionally, Charter Investment borrowed approximately $6.2 million in the form
of a bridge loan from Mr. Allen. This bridge loan was contributed by Mr. Allen
to Charter Investment in March 1999. No interest on such bridge loan was accrued
or paid by Charter Investment. On the same date, Mr. Allen also contributed
approximately $223.5 million to Vulcan Cable II, Inc., a company owned by Mr.
Allen. Vulcan II was merged with and into Charter Investment.



     On January 5, 1999, Charter Investment borrowed approximately $132.2
million in the form of a bridge loan from Mr. Allen. This bridge loan was
contributed by Mr. Allen to Charter Investment in March 1999. No interest on
such bridge loan was accrued or paid by Charter Investment. On the same date,
Mr. Allen also acquired additional voting common stock of Charter Investment
from Jerald L. Kent, Howard L. Wood and Barry L. Babcock for an aggregate
purchase price of approximately $176.7 million.



     On January 11, 1999, Charter Investment borrowed $25 million in the form of
a bridge loan from Mr. Allen. This bridge loan was contributed by Mr. Allen to
Charter Investment in March 1999. No interest on such bridge loan was accrued or
paid by Charter Investment.



     On March 16, 1999, Charter Investment borrowed approximately $124.8 million
in the form of a bridge loan from Mr. Allen. This bridge loan was contributed by
Mr. Allen to Charter Investment in March 1999. No interest on such bridge loan
was accrued or paid by Charter Investment.



     The $431 million contribution was used to redeem stock of certain
shareholders in Charter Investment. The $1.3 billion and $223.5 million
contributions by Mr. Allen were used by Charter


                                       131
<PAGE>   136


Investment to purchase the remaining interest in CCA Group and CharterComm
Holdings. All other contributions to Charter Investment by Mr. Allen were used
in operations of Charter Investment and were not contributed to Charter
Holdings.



     On July 22, 1999, Charter Communications Holding Company and Mr. Allen
entered into a membership interests purchase agreement. The agreement was
assigned by Mr. Allen to Vulcan Cable III by an amendment dated August 10, 1999.
Pursuant to the agreement, Vulcan Cable III has committed to purchase membership
interests of Charter Communications Holding Company for a total of $1.325
billion. Vulcan Cable III has contributed $500 million on August 10, 1999, and
will contribute an additional $825 million in the form of cash and certain
equity interests to be acquired in connection with the Rifkin acquisition.
Charter Communications Holding Company has committed to contribute this $1.325
billion to Charter Holdings. In return, Vulcan Cable III will have received
63,917,028 membership interests in Charter Communications Holding Company. Mr.
Allen will also receive the right to use up to eight digital channels in each of
our cable systems. We have agreed and are in the process of finalizing a
contract to license these channels to Mr. Allen. The number of channels licensed
in each system will depend on the bandwidth of the particular system. We believe
that this transaction will be on terms at least as favorable to us as Mr. Allen
would negotiate with other cable operators.



     During the second and third quarters of 1999, one of our subsidiaries sold
shared interests in several airplanes to Mr. Allen for approximately $8 million.
We believe that the purchase price paid by Mr. Allen for these interests was the
fair market price.


ALLOCATION OF BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES WITH MR. ALLEN


     As described under "-- Business Relationships," Mr. Allen and a number of
his affiliates have interests in various entities that provide services or
programming to a number of our subsidiaries. Given the diverse nature of Mr.
Allen's investment activities and interests, and to avoid the possibility of
future disputes as to potential business, effective upon the completion of the
offering by CCI, Charter Communications Holding Company and CCI will have
agreed, until all of its shares of Class B common stock held by Mr. Allen have
automatically converted into shares of Class A common stock, not to engage in
any business transaction outside the cable transmission business. We will also
agree with Mr. Allen that, should we wish to pursue a business transaction
outside of this scope, we must first offer Mr. Allen the opportunity to pursue
the particular business transaction. If he decides not to do so and consents to
our engaging in the business transaction, we will be able to do so and CCI's
certificate of incorporation and Charter Communications Holding Company's
operating agreement would be amended accordingly to appropriately modify the
current restrictions on our ability to engage in any business other than the
cable transmission business. The cable transmission business means the business
of transmitting video, audio and data on cable television systems owned,
operated or managed by us from time to time. As long as Mr. Allen is a director
of CCI, he will be required to present to CCI any opportunity he may have to
acquire, directly or indirectly, a majority ownership interest in any cable
television system or any company whose principal business is the ownership,
operation or management of cable television systems. However, except for the
foregoing, Charter Communications Holding Company and CCI will agree that Mr.
Allen does not have an obligation to present to CCI business opportunities in
which both Mr. Allen and we might have an interest and that he may exploit such
opportunities for his own account. CCI's certificate of incorporation and
Charter Communications Holding Company's operating agreement will contain
provisions to that effect.



ASSIGNMENTS OF ACQUISITIONS



     On January 1, 1999, Charter Investment entered into a membership purchase
agreement with ACEC Holding Company, LLC for the acquisition of American Cable.
On February 23, 1999, Charter Investment assigned its rights and obligations
under this agreement to one of our


                                       132
<PAGE>   137


subsidiaries, Charter Communications Entertainment II, LLC, effective as of
March 8, 1999, or such earlier date as mutually agreed to by the parties. The
acquisition of American Cable was completed in May 1999.



     On February 17, 1999, Charter Investment entered into an asset purchase
agreement with Greater Media, Inc. and Greater Media Cablevision, Inc. for the
acquisition of the Greater Media systems. On February 23, 1999, Charter
Investment assigned its rights and obligations under this agreement to one of
our subsidiaries, Charter Communications Entertainment I, LLC. The acquisition
of the Greater Media systems was completed in June 1999.



     On April 26, 1999, Charter Investment entered into,

the performance and fulfillment of the covenants, duties and obligations of the
buyer under these agreements.



     In May 1999, Charter Investment entered into the Falcon purchase agreement.
As of June 22, 1999, pursuant to the first amendment to the Falcon purchase
agreement, Charter Investment assigned its rights under the Falcon purchase
agreement to Charter LLC, a subsidiary of Charter Holdco. In May 1999, Charter
Investment entered into the Fanch purchase agreement. It is expected that
Charter Investment will assign this agreement to Charter Communications VI, LLC.

BUSINESS RELATIONSHIPS


     Paul G. Allen or certain affiliates of Mr. Allen own equity interests or
warrants to purchase equity interests in various entities which provide a number
of our subsidiaries with services or programming. Among these entities are High
Speed Access, WorldGate, Wink, ZDTV, LLC, USA Networks and Oxygen Media, Inc.
These affiliates include Charter Investment and Vulcan Ventures, Inc. Mr. Allen
owns 100% of the equity of Vulcan Ventures, and is the President, Chief
Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board. Mr. Savoy is also a Vice President
and a director of Vulcan Ventures.



     HIGH SPEED ACCESS.  High Speed Access is a provider of high-speed Internet
access over cable modems. In November 1998, Charter Investment entered into a
systems access and investment agreement with Vulcan Ventures and High Speed
Access and a related network services agreement with High Speed Access.
Additionally, Vulcan Ventures and High Speed Access entered into a programming
content agreement. Under these agreements, High Speed Access will have exclusive
access to at least 750,000 of our homes with an installed cable drop from our
cable system or which is eligible for a cable drop by virtue of our cable system
passing the home. The term of the systems access and investment agreement
continues until midnight of the day High Speed Access ceases to provide High
Speed Access services to cable subscribers in any geographic area or region. The
term of the network services agreement is as to a particular cable system, five
years from the date revenue billing commences for that cable system and,
following this initial term, the network services agreement automatically renews
itself on a year-to-year basis. Additionally, we can terminate our exclusivity
rights, on a system-by-system basis, if High Speed Access fails to meet
performance benchmarks or otherwise breaches the agreements including their
commitment to provide content designated by Vulcan Ventures. The programming
content agreement is effective until terminated for any breach and will
automatically terminate upon the expiration of the systems access and investment
agreement. During the term of the agreements, High Speed Access has agreed not
to deploy WorldGate, Web TV, digital television or related products in the
market areas of any committed system or in any area in which we operate a cable
system. All of Charter Investment's operations take place at the subsidiary
level and it is through Charter Investment that we derive our rights and
obligations with respect to High Speed Access. Under the terms of the network
services agreement, we split revenue with High Speed Access based on set
percentages of gross revenues in each category of service. The programming
content agreement provides each of Vulcan Ventures and High Speed Access with a
license to use certain content and materials of the other on a non-exclusive,
royalty-free basis. Operations began in the first quarter of 1999. Net receipts
from High Speed Access for the six months ended June 30, 1999 were approximately
$24,000.



     Concurrently with entering into these agreements, High Speed Access issued
8 million shares of Series B convertible preferred stock to Vulcan Ventures at a
purchase price of $2.50 per share. Vulcan Ventures also subscribed to purchase
2.5 million shares of Series C convertible preferred stock, at a purchase price
of $5.00 per share on or before November 25, 2000, and received an option to
purchase an additional 2.5 million shares of Series C convertible preferred
stock at a purchase price of $5.00 per share. In April 1999, Vulcan Ventures
purchased the entire 5 million shares of Series C convertible preferred stock
for $25 million in cash. The shares of Series B and Series C convertible
preferred stock issued to Vulcan Ventures automatically converted at a price of
$3.23 per share into 20.15 million shares of common stock upon completion of
High Speed Access' initial public offering in June 1999. Additionally, High
Speed Access granted Vulcan Ventures warrants to purchase up to 5 million shares
of common stock at a purchase price of $5.00 per share. These warrants were
converted to warrants to purchase up to approximately 7,739,938 shares of common
stock at a purchase price of $3.23 per share upon completion of High Speed
Access' initial public offering. Vulcan Ventures subsequently assigned the
warrants to Charter Investment.


                                       134

     In addition, Jerald L. Kent, our President and Chief Executive Officer and
a director of Charter Holdings, Mr. Savoy and another individual, who performs
management services for the issuers, are also directors of High Speed Access
Corp.



     Upon completion of the offering, Charter Investment will assign to Charter
Communications Holding Company all of its rights and obligations under its
agreements with High Speed Access, and transfer the warrants to purchase up to 5
million shares of common stock of High Speed Access, to Charter Communications
Holding Company.



     WORLDGATE.  WorldGate is a provider of Internet access through cable
television systems. On November 7, 1997, Charter Investment signed an
affiliation agreement with WorldGate pursuant to which WorldGate's services will
be offered to some of our customers. The term of the agreement is five years
unless terminated by either party for failure of the other party to perform any
of its obligations or undertakings required under the agreement. The agreement
automatically renews for additional successive two year periods upon expiration
of the initial five year term. All of Charter Investment's operations take place
at the subsidiary level and it is through Charter Investment that we derive our
rights and obligations with respect to WorldGate. Pursuant to the agreement, we
have agreed to use our reasonable best efforts to deploy the WorldGate Internet
access service within a portion of our cable television systems and to install
the appropriate headend equipment in all of our major markets in those systems.
Major markets for purposes of this agreement include those in which we have more
than 25,000 customers. We incur the cost for the installation of headend
equipment. In addition, we have agreed to use our reasonable best efforts to
deploy such service in all non-major markets that are technically capable of
providing interactive pay-per-view service, to the extent we determine that it
is economically practical. When WorldGate has a telephone return path service
available, we will, if economically practical, use all reasonable efforts to
install the appropriate headend equipment and deploy the WorldGate service in
our remaining markets. Telephone return path service is the usage of telephone
lines to connect to the Internet to transmit data or receive data. We have also
agreed to market the WorldGate service within our market areas. We pay a monthly
subscriber access fee to WorldGate based on the number of subscribers to the
WorldGate service. We have the discretion to determine what fees, if any, we
will charge our subscribers for access to the WorldGate service. We started
offering WorldGate service in 1998. For the six-months ended June 30, 1999, we
paid to WorldGate approximately $570,000. For the year ended December 31, 1998,
we paid to WorldGate approximately $276,000. We charged our subscribers
approximately $76,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1999, and approximately
$22,000 for the year ended December 31, 1998.



     On November 24, 1997, Charter Investment acquired 70,423 shares of
WorldGate's Series B preferred stock at a purchase price of $7.10 per share. On
February 3, 1999, a subsidiary of Charter Holdings acquired 90,909 shares of
Series C preferred stock at a purchase price of $11.00 per share. As a result of
a stock split, each share of Series B preferred stock will convert into
two-thirds of a share of WorldGate's common stock, and each share of Series C
preferred stock will convert into two-thirds of a share of WorldGate's common
stock. Upon completion of WorldGate's initial public offering, each series of
preferred stock will automatically convert into common stock.



     Upon completion of the offering, Charter Investment will assign to Charter
Communications Holding Company all of its rights and obligations under its
agreements with WorldGate and transfer its 70,423 shares of WorldGate Series B
preferred stock to Charter Communications Holding Company.


     WINK.  Wink offers an enhanced broadcasting system that adds interactivity
and electronic commerce opportunities to traditional programming and
advertising. Viewers can, among other things, find news, weather and sports
information on-demand and order products through use of a remote control. On
October 8, 1997, Charter Investment signed a cable affiliation agreement

                                       135
<PAGE>   140


with Wink to deploy this enhanced broadcasting technology in our systems. The
term of the agreement is three years. Either party has the right to terminate
the agreement for the other party's failure to comply with any of its respective
material obligations under the agreement. All of Charter Investment's operations
take place at the subsidiary level and it is through Charter Investment that we
derive our rights and obligations with respect to Wink. Pursuant to the
agreement, Wink granted us the non-exclusive license to use their software to
deliver the enhanced broadcasting to all of our cable systems. For the first
year of the agreement, we pay a monthly license fee to Wink which is based on
the number of our subscribers in our operating areas. After the first year of
the agreement we pay a fixed monthly license fee to Wink regardless of the
number of our subscribers in our operating areas. We also supply all server
hardware required for deployment of Wink services. In addition, we agreed to
promote and market the Wink service to our customers within the area of each
system in which such service is being provided. We share in the revenue Wink
generated from all fees collected by Wink for transactions generated by our
customers. The amount of revenue shared is based on the number of transactions
per month. As of June 30, 1999, no revenue or expenses have been recognized as a
result of this agreement.



     On November 30, 1998, Vulcan Ventures acquired 1,162,500 shares of Wink's
Series C preferred stock for approximately $9.3 million. In connection with such
acquisition, Wink issued to Vulcan Venture warrants to purchase shares of common
stock. Additionally, Microsoft Corporation, of which Mr. Allen is a director,
also owns an equity interest in Wink.



     Upon the completion of the offering, Charter Investment will assign to
Charter Communications Holding Company all of its rights and obligations under
its agreements with Wink.



     ZDTV.  ZDTV operates a cable television channel which broadcasts shows
about technology and the Internet. Pursuant to a carriage agreement which
Charter Communications Holding Company intends to enter into with ZDTV, ZDTV has
agreed to provide us with programming for broadcast via our cable television
systems at no cost. The term of the proposed carriage agreement, with respect to
each of our cable systems, is from the date of launch of ZDTV on that cable
system until April 30, 2008. The term expires on the same day for each of our
cable systems, regardless of when any individual cable system launches ZDTV. The
carriage agreement grants us a limited non-exclusive right to receive and to
distribute ZDTV to our subscribers in digital or analog format. The carriage
agreement does not grant us the right to distribute ZDTV over the Internet. We
pay a monthly subscriber fee to ZDTV for the ZDTV programming based on the
number of our subscribers subscribing to ZDTV. Additionally, we agreed to use
commercially reasonable efforts to publicize the programming schedule of ZDTV in
each of our cable systems that offers or will offer ZDTV. Upon reaching a
specified threshold number of ZDTV subscribers, then, in the event ZDTV inserts
any informercials, advertorials and/ or home shopping into in the ZDTV
programming, we receive from ZDTV a percentage of net product revenues resulting
from our distribution of these services. ZDTV may not offer its services to any
other cable operator which serves the same or fewer number of subscribers at a
more favorable rate or on more favorable carriage terms. As of June 30, 1999, no
expenses have been recognized as a result of these agreements.



     On February 5, 1999, Vulcan Programming acquired an approximate one-third
interest in ZDTV. Mr. Allen owns 100% of Vulcan programming. Mr. Savoy is the
president and director of Vulcan Programming. The remaining approximate
two-thirds interest in ZDTV is owned by Ziff-Davis Inc. Vulcan Ventures acquired
approximately 3% of the interests in Ziff-Davis. The total investment made by
Vulcan Programming and Vulcan Ventures was $54 million.


     USA NETWORKS.  USA Networks operates USA Network and The Sci-Fi Channel,
which are cable television networks. USA Networks also operates Home Shopping
Network, which is a retail sales program available via cable television systems.
On May 1, 1994, Charter Investment

                                       136
<PAGE>   141


signed an affiliation agreement with USA Networks. Pursuant to this affiliation
agreement, USA Networks has agreed to provide their programming for broadcast
via our cable television systems. The term of the affiliation agreement is until
December 30, 1999. The affiliation agreement grants us the nonexclusive right to
cablecast the USA Network programming service. We pay USA Networks a monthly fee
for the USA Network programming service number based on the number of
subscribers in each of our systems and the number and percentage of such
subscribers receiving the USA Network programming service. Additionally, we
agreed to use best efforts to publicize the schedule of the USA Network
programming service in the television listings and program guides which we
distribute. We have paid to USA Networks for programming approximately
$4,931,614 for the six months ended June 30, 1999, approximately $556,000 for
the year ended December 31, 1998, approximately $204,000 for the year ended
December 31, 1997, and approximately $134,000 for the year ended December 31,
1996. In addition, we received commissions from Home Shopping Network for sales
generated by our customers totaling approximately $794,000 for the six months
ended June 30, 1999, approximately $121,000 for the year ended December 31,
1998, approximately $62,000 for the year ended December 31, 1997, and
approximately $35,000 for the year ended December 31, 1996.



     Mr. Allen and Mr. Savoy are also directors of USA Networks. As of April
1999, Mr. Allen also owned approximately 12.4% and Mr. Savoy owned less than 1%,
of the common stock of USA Networks. Upon completion of the offering, Charter
Investment will assign to Charter Communications Holding Company all of its
rights and obligations under its agreements with USA Networks.



     OXYGEN MEDIA, INC.  Oxygen expects to begin providing content aimed at the
female audience for distribution over the Internet and cable television systems.
Vulcan Ventures has agreed to invest up to $100 million in Oxygen. In addition,
Charter Communications Holding Company has agreed to enter into a carriage
agreement with Oxygen pursuant to which we intend to carry Oxygen programming
content on our cable systems. As of June 30, 1999, no expenses have been
recognized as a result of these agreements.



     Mr. Allen and his affiliates have, and in the future likely will make,
numerous investments outside of Charter Communications Holding Company. We
cannot assure you that in the event that we or any of our subsidiaries enter
into transactions in the future with any affiliate of Mr. Allen, that such
transactions will be on terms as favorable to us as terms we might have obtained
from an unrelated third party. Also, conflicts could arise with respect to the
allocation of corporate opportunities between us and Mr. Allen and his
affiliates. Upon completion of the offering CCI will have entered into an
agreement with Mr. Allen governing the allocation of corporate opportunities as
they arise.


     We have not instituted any formal plan or arrangement to address potential
conflicts of interest.

<PAGE>   142

Cable II, Inc., a company owned by Mr. Allen. Vulcan II was merged with and into
Charter Investment.

     On January 5, 1999, Charter Investment borrowed $132.2 million in the form
of a bridge loan from Mr. Allen. This bridge loan was contributed by Mr. Allen
to Charter Investment in March 1999. No interest on the bridge loan was accrued
or paid by Charter Investment. On the same date, Mr. Allen also acquired
additional voting common stock of Charter Investment from Jerald L. Kent, Howard
L. Wood and Barry L. Babcock for an aggregate purchase price of $176.7 million.

     On January 11, 1999, Charter Investment borrowed $25 million in the form of
a bridge loan from Mr. Allen. This bridge loan was contributed by Mr. Allen to
Charter Investment in March 1999. No interest on the bridge loan was accrued or
paid by Charter Investment.

     On March 16, 1999, Charter Investment borrowed $124.8 million in the form
of a bridge loan from Mr. Allen. This bridge loan was contributed by Mr. Allen
to Charter Investment in March 1999. No interest on the bridge loan was accrued
or paid by Charter Investment.


     In July 1999, Charter Communications Holding Company and Mr. Allen entered
into a membership interests purchase agreement pursuant to which Mr. Allen has
committed to purchase membership units of Charter Communications Holding Company
for a total of $1.325 billion. Mr. Allen will contribute $500 million on or
before July 31, 1999, and $825 million on or before September 1, 1999, in
exchange for membership interests. In the membership interests purchase
agreement, we agreed to give Mr. Allen the right to program up to eight digital
channels in each of our cable systems at terms not less favorable to us than Mr.
Allen would agree upon with other cable companies. The exact number of channels
per system depends on the bandwidth of that particular system.


     MERGER WITH MARCUS.  On April 23, 1998, Mr. Allen and an entity he
controlled acquired approximately 99% of the non-voting economic interests in
Marcus, and agreed to acquire the remaining interests in Marcus Cable and assume
voting control. The aggregate purchase price was approximately $1.4 billion,
excluding $1.8 billion in debt assumed. On March 31, 1999, Mr. Allen completed
the acquisition of all remaining interests and assumed voting control of Marcus
Cable. On February 22, 1999, Marcus Holdings was formed and all of Mr. Allen's
interests in Marcus Cable were transferred to Marcus Holdings.


     On December 23, 1998, Mr. Allen acquired approximately 94% of the equity of
Charter Investment, Inc. for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $2.2
billion, excluding $2.0 billion in debt assumed. On February 9, 1999, Charter
Holdings was formed as a wholly owned subsidiary of Charter Investment. On
February 10, 1999, Charter Operating was formed as a wholly owned subsidiary of
Charter Holdings. All of Charter Investment's equity interests in its operating
subsidiaries were subsequently transferred to Charter Operating. On May 25,
1999, Charter Communications Holding Company was formed as a wholly owned
subsidiary of Charter Investment. All of Charter Investment's equity interests
in Charter Holdings were transferred to Charter Communications Holding Company.



     In March 1999, Charter Holdings paid an affiliate of Mr. Allen $20 million
for reimbursement of direct costs incurred in connection with his acquisition of
Marcus Cable. Such costs were principally comprised of financial, advisory,
legal and accounting fees.



     On April 7, 1999, Mr. Allen merged Marcus Holdings into Charter Holdings.
Charter Holdings survived the merger, and the operating subsidiaries of Marcus
Holdings became subsidiaries of Charter Holdings. Immediately following the
merger, Mr. Allen owned   % of the equity interests in Charter Investment.



     When Charter Holdings and its subsidiary issued notes in a private
placement, this merger had not yet occurred. Consequently, Marcus Holdings was a
party to the indentures governing


                                       138
<PAGE>   143


the notes as a guarantor of Charter Holdings' obligations. Charter Holdings
loaned some of the proceeds from the sale of the original notes to Marcus
Holdings, which amounts were used to complete the cash tender offers for certain
outstanding notes of subsidiaries of Marcus Holdings. Marcus Holdings issued a
promissory note in favor of Charter Holdings, secured by a pledge of the equity
interests in Marcus Cable as collateral. Charter Holdings pledged this
promissory note to the trustee under the indentures as collateral for the equal
and ratable benefit of the holders of the notes. Upon the closing of the merger,
and in accordance with the terms of the notes and the indentures:


     - the guarantee issued by Marcus Holdings was automatically terminated;

     - the promissory note issued by Marcus Holdings was automatically
       extinguished; and


     - the pledge in favor of Charter Holdings of the equity interests in Marcus
       Cable as collateral under the promissory note and the pledge in favor of
       the trustee of the promissory note as collateral for the notes were
       automatically released.

                      DESCRIPTION OF CERTAIN INDEBTEDNESS


     The following description of our indebtedness is qualified in its entirety
by reference to the relevant credit facility, indenture and related documents
governing the debt.



EXISTING CREDIT FACILITIES



     CHARTER OPERATING CREDIT FACILITIES.  On March 18, 1999, all of our
then-existing senior debt, consisting of seven separate credit facilities, was
refinanced with proceeds of the sale of the original Charter Holdings notes and
proceeds of our initial senior secured credit facilities. The borrower under our
initial senior secured credit facilities is Charter Operating. The initial
senior secured credit facilities were arranged by Chase Securities, Inc.,
NationsBank Montgomery Securities LLC and TD Securities (USA) Inc. The initial
Charter Operating senior secured credit facilities provided for borrowings of up
to $2.75 billion.



     The initial Charter Operating senior secured credit facilities were
increased on April 30, 1999 by $1.35 billion of additional senior secured credit
facilities. Obligations under the Charter Operating credit facilities are
guaranteed by Charter Operating's parent, Charter Holdings, and by Charter
Operatings' subsidiaries. The obligations under the Charter Operating credit
facilities are secured by pledges by Charter Operating of inter-company
obligations and the ownership interests of Charter Operating and its
subsidiaries, but are not secured by the other assets of Charter Operating or
its subsidiaries. The guarantees are secured by pledges of inter-company
obligations and the ownership interests of Charter Holdings in Charter
Operating, but are not secured by the other assets of Charter Holdings or
Charter Operating.



     The initial senior secured credit facilities of $4.1 billion consist of:


     - an eight and one-half year reducing revolving loan in the amount of $1.25
       billion;

     - an eight and one-half year Tranche A term loan in the amount of $1.0
       billion; and

     - a nine-year Tranche B term loan in the amount of $1.85 billion.


     The Charter Operating credit facilities provide for the amortization of the
principal amount of the Tranche A term loan facility and the reduction of the
revolving loan facility beginning on June 30, 2002 with respect to the Tranche A
term loan and on March 31, 2004 with respect to the revolving credit facility,
with a final maturity date of September 18, 2007. The amortization of the
principal amount of the Tranche B term loan facility is substantially
"back-ended," with more than ninety percent of the principal balance due in the
year of maturity. The Charter Operating credit facilities also provide for an
incremental term facility of up to $500 million which is conditioned upon
receipt of additional new commitments from lenders. If the incremental term
facility becomes available, up to 50% of the borrowings under it may be repaid
on terms substantially similar to that of the Tranche A term loan and the
remaining portion on terms substantially similar to the Tranche B term loan. The
credit facilities also contain provisions requiring mandatory loan prepayments
under some circumstances, such as when significant amounts of assets are sold
and the proceeds are not promptly reinvested in assets useful in the business.



     Interest rate margins for the Charter Operating credit facilities depend
upon performance measured by a "leverage ratio," or, the ratio of indebtedness
annualized operating cash flow. Annualized operating cash flow is defined as the
immediately preceding quarter's operating cash flow, before management fees,
multiplied by four. This leverage ratio is based on the debt of Charter
Operating and its subsidiaries, exclusive of the outstanding notes and other
debt for money borrowed, including guarantees by Charter Operating and by
Charter Holdings.



     The Charter Operating credit facilities provide Charter Operating with two
interest rate options, to which a margin is added: a base rate, generally the
"prime rate" of interest, and an interest rate option based on an interbank
eurodollar rate. The Charter Operating credit facilities


                                       140
<PAGE>   145

contain representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants,
information requirements, events of default and financial covenants. The
financial covenants, which are generally tested on a quarterly basis, measure
performance against standards set for leverage, debt service coverage, and
operating cash flow coverage of cash interest expense.


     Under most circumstances, acquisitions and investments may be made without
the consent of the lenders as long as Charter Operating's operating cash flow
for the four complete quarters preceding the acquisition or investment equals or
exceeds 1.75 times the sum of its cash interest expense plus any restricted
payments, on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the acquisition or
investment.


     The Charter Operating credit facilities also contain a change of control
provision, making it an event of default, and permitting acceleration of the
debt, in the event that either:


          (1) Mr. Allen, including his estate, heirs and other related entities,
     fails to maintain a 51% direct or indirect voting and economic interest in
     Charter Operating, provided that after the consummation of an initial
     public offering by Charter Holdings or an affiliate of Charter Holdings,
     the economic interest percentage may be reduced to 25%, or



          (2) a change of control occurs under the indentures governing the
     Charter Holdings notes.



     The various negative covenants place limitations on the ability of Charter
Holdings, Charter Operating and their subsidiaries to, among other things, incur
debt, pay dividends, incur liens, make acquisitions, investments or asset sales,
or enter into transactions with affiliates. Distributions by Charter Operating
under the credit facilities to Charter Holdings to pay interest on the notes are
generally permitted, except during the existence of a default under the credit
facilities. If the 8.250% Charter Holdings notes are not refinanced prior to six
months before their maturity date, the entire amount outstanding of the Charter
Operating credit facilities will become due and payable.



CREDIT FACILITIES TO BE ASSUMED IN CONNECTION WITH OUR PENDING ACQUISITIONS



     FALCON CABLE COMMUNICATIONS CREDIT FACILITIES.  In May 1999, Charter
Investment entered into the Falcon acquisition agreements. The assumed debt
portion of the purchase price includes the $1.15 billion senior credit
facilities of Falcon Cable Communications, LLC (the Falcon borrower). In
anticipation of the closing of this acquisition, we have arranged with the
lenders to the Falcon credit facilities to enter into an amendment and
restatement of the existing credit facilities. Unless otherwise noted, the
description below gives effect to this amendment and restatement, which becomes
effective at the time of the acquisition.



     On July 21, 1999, a required percentage of the lenders under the Falcon
borrower credit agreement dated June 30, 1998 agreed to amend and restate the
credit agreement, effective on the date that we close our acquisition of Falcon.
The current amount of the credit facilities is approximately $1.15 billion,
consisting of:



     - A revolving facility in the amount of approximately $650 million;


     - A term loan B in the amount of approximately $199 million; and

     - A term loan C in the amount of approximately $299 million.


     We are in the process of raising additional commitments for a permitted
supplemental revolving credit facility in the maximum amount of $350 million.
The revolving facility and the supplemental revolving facility amortize
beginning in 2001 and 2003, respectively, and ending on December 29, 2006 and
December 31, 2007, respectively. The term loan B and term loan C facilities
amortize beginning in 1999 and ending on June 29, 2007 and December 31, 2007,
respectively. The obligations under these facilities are guaranteed by the
subsidiaries of the


                                       141
<PAGE>   146

Falcon borrower. The obligations under the Falcon borrower credit facilities are
secured by pledges of the ownership interests and inter-company obligations of
the Falcon borrower and its subsidiaries, but are not secured by other assets of
the Falcon borrower or its subsidiaries.


     The Falcon borrower credit facilities currently in effect provide for the
$350 million incremental availability referred to above, which we are currently
in the process of soliciting from the existing lenders. This facility is in the
form of an additional revolving loan. Upon the effectiveness of the amendment
and restatement of the Falcon borrower credit facilities at the time of the
acquisition of Falcon borrower by Charter Communications Holding Company, up to
an additional $350 million supplemental facility will be available, subject to
the borrower's ability to obtain additional commitments from lenders.



     The Falcon borrower credit facilities also contain provisions requiring
mandatory loan prepayments under certain circumstances, such as when significant
amounts of assets are sold and the proceeds are not promptly reinvested in
assets useful in the business of the Falcon borrower. Interest rates for the
Falcon credit facilities, as well as a fee payable on unborrowed amounts
available under these facilities, will depend upon performance measured by a
"leverage ratio," or, the ratio of indebtedness to annualized operating cash
flow. Annualized operating cash flow is defined as the immediately preceding
quarter's operating cash flow, before management fees, multiplied by four. This
leverage ratio is based on the debt of the Falcon borrower and its subsidiaries,
exclusive of the Falcon debentures described below.



     The Falcon credit facilities provide the Falcon borrower with two interest
rate options, to which a margin is added: a base rate option, generally the
"prime rate" of interest, and an interest rate option rate based on the
interbank eurodollar rate. The Falcon borrower credit facilities contain
representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants, information
requirements, events of default and financial covenants. The financial
covenants, which are generally tested on a quarterly basis, measure performance
against standards set for leverage, debt service coverage, and operating cash
flow coverage of cash interest expense.



     The Falcon credit facilities also contain a change of control provision,
making it an event of default, and permitting acceleration of the debt, in the
event that either:



          (1) Mr. Allen, including his estate, heirs and other related entities,
     fails to maintain a 51% direct or indirect voting and economic interest in
     the Falcon borrower, provided that after the consummation of an initial
     public offering by Charter Holdings or an affiliate of Charter Holdings,
     the economic interest percentage may be reduced to 25%; or



          (2) A change of control occurs under the indentures governing the
     Falcon debentures or under the terms of other debt of Falcon.



     The various negative covenants place limitations on the ability of the
Falcon borrower and its subsidiaries to, among other things, incur debt, pay
dividends, incur liens, make acquisitions, investments or assets sales, or enter
into transactions with affiliates. Distributions by the Falcon borrower under
its credit facilities to pay interest on the Falcon debentures are generally
permitted, except during the existence of a default under the credit facilities.


OTHER SENIOR CREDIT FACILITIES


     In connection with its acquisitions of Bresnan and Avalon, Charter
Communications Holding Company will assume or refinance the existing credit
facilities of those companies. In the event it assumes such credit facilities,
it will attempt, as it has succeeded with respect to Falcon, to renegotiate the
terms of such indebtedness on terms substantially similar or identical to the
terms of the senior credit facilities for Charter Operating. In the event it is
unable to do so, it will assume such indebtedness on its existing terms, if
permitted, or refinance such indebtedness. However, we cannot assure you that
Charter Communications Holding Company will be


                                       142
<PAGE>   147

successful in its effort to assume and renegotiate, or to refinance, any of such
existing senior indebtedness.


     BRESNAN.  Bresnan's existing credit facilities, under a loan agreement
dated February 2, 1999, include a revolving loan facility in the amount of $150
million maturing June 30, 2007, a term loan A facility, in the amount of $328
million, maturing June 30, 2007, and a term loan B facility in the amount of
$172 million, maturing February 2, 2008. These facilities are secured in similar
fashion to Charter Operating, by guaranties from subsidiaries and pledges of
ownership interests and inter-company indebtedness, but not by other real or
personal property. Also similar to Charter Operating, interest rates and fees
are based on a pricing grid depending upon Bresnan's leverage ratio. As of June
30, 1999, there was $500 million total principal amount outstanding under the
Bresnan credit facilities.



     AVALON.  Avalon's existing credit facilities, under a loan agreement dated
November 5, 1998, include a revolving loan facility, maturing October 31, 2005,
a term loan A facility, maturing on October 31, 2005, and a term loan B
facility, maturing October 31, 2006, with total commitments under all facilities
of approximately $345 million. Unlike the Charter Operating, Bresnan, and Falcon
facilities, the Avalon credit facilities are secured by all assets of the
borrower and its subsidiaries, real and personal property, including ownership
interests and inter-company indebtedness. Similar to Charter Operating, interest
rates and fees on the Avalon credit facilities are based on a pricing grid
depending upon Avalon's leverage ratio. As of June 30, 1999, there was $180
million total principal amount outstanding under the Avalon credit facilities.


EXISTING PUBLIC DEBT


     THE CHARTER HOLDINGS NOTES.  The original 8.250% Charter Holdings notes,
8.625% Charter Holdings notes and 9.920% Charter Holdings notes were issued and
the new 8.250% Charter Holdings notes, 8.625% Charter Holdings notes and 9.920%
Charter Holdings notes will be issued under three separate indentures, each
dated as of March 17, 1999, among Charter Holdings and Charter Communications
Holdings Capital Corporation, as the issuers, Marcus Cable Holdings, LLC, as
guarantor and Harris Trust and Savings Bank, as trustee. The issuers of the
original Charter Holdings notes have commenced an offer to exchange these notes
for new Charter Holdings notes by filing and causing to be declared effective a
registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933 for the exchange. The
form and terms of the new Charter Holdings notes will be the same in all
material respects as the form and terms of the original Charter Holdings notes,
except that the new Charter Holdings notes will be registered under the
Securities Act of 1933 and, therefore, will not bear legends restricting the
transfer thereof. At the time of the sale of the original Charter Holdings
notes, Marcus Holdings guaranteed the Charter Holdings notes and issued a
promissory note to Charter Holdings for certain amounts loaned by Charter
Holdings to subsidiaries of Marcus Holdings. At the time of the merger of
Charter Holdings with Marcus Holdings, both the guarantee and the promissory
note automatically became ineffective under the terms of the Charter Holdings
indentures. Consequently, all references in the Charter Holdings indentures and
the Charter Holdings notes to the guarantor, the guarantee or the promissory
note, and all related matters, such as the pledges of any collateral, became
inapplicable. The Charter Holdings notes are general unsecured obligations of
the issuers. The 8.250% Charter Holdings notes mature on April 1, 2007 and there
is $600 million in total principal amount currently outstanding. The 8.625%
Charter Holdings notes will mature on April 1, 2009 and there is $1.5 billion in
total principal amount currently outstanding. The 9.920% Charter Holdings
discount notes mature on April 1, 2011 and there is $1.475 billion in total
principal amount currently outstanding. Net proceeds from the sale of Charter
Holdings discount notes were $905.6 million. Cash interest on the 9.920% Charter
Holdings notes will not accrue prior to April 1, 2004.


                                       143
<PAGE>   148


     The Charter Holdings notes are senior debts of the co-issuers. They rank
equally with the current and future unsecured and unsubordinated debt, including
trade payables, of Charter Holdings.



     The issuers will not have the right to redeem the 8.250% Charter Holdings
notes prior to their maturity date on April 1, 2007. However, before April 1,
2002, the issuers may redeem up to 35% of each of the 8.625% Charter Holdings
notes and the 9.920% Charter Holdings notes with the proceeds of certain
offerings of equity securities. In addition, on or after April 1, 2004, the
issuers may redeem some or all of the 8.625% Charter Holdings notes and the
9.920% Charter Holdings notes at any time.



     In the event of a specified change of control event, the issuers must offer
to repurchase any then-outstanding Charter Holdings notes at 101% of their
principal amount or accreted value, as applicable, plus accrued and unpaid
interest.



     The indentures governing the Charter Holdings notes also contain certain
events of default, affirmative covenants and negative covenants. Subject to
certain important exceptions, the indentures governing the Charter Holdings
notes, among other things, restrict the ability of the issuers and certain of
their subsidiaries to:


     - incur additional debt;

     - create specified liens;

     - pay dividends on stock or repurchase stock;

     - make investments;

     - sell all or substantially all of our assets or merge with or into other
       companies;

     - sell assets;

     - in the case of our restricted subsidiaries, create or permit to exist
       dividend or payment restrictions with respect to us; and

     - engage in certain transactions with affiliates.


     RENAISSANCE NOTES.  The original Renaissance notes and new Renaissance
notes were issued by Renaissance Media (Louisiana) LLC, Renaissance Media
(Tennessee) LLC and Renaissance Media Capital Corporation, with Renaissance
Media Group LLC as the Guarantor and the United States Trust Company of New York
as the Trustee. Renaissance Media Group LLC, which is the direct or indirect
parent company of these issuers, is now a subsidiary of Charter Operating. The
Renaissance notes and the Renaissance guarantee are unsecured, unsubordinated
debt of the issuers and the guarantor, respectively. In October 1998, the
issuers exchanged $163.175 million of the original issued and outstanding 10%
senior discount notes due 2008 for an equivalent value of 10% senior discount
notes due April 15, 2008. The form and terms of the new Renaissance notes are
the same in all material respects as the form and terms of the original
Renaissance notes except that the issuance of the new Renaissance notes was
registered under the Securities Act.



     There will not be any payment of interest in respect of the Renaissance
notes prior to October 15, 2003. Interest on the Renaissance notes shall be paid
semi-annually in cash at a rate of 10% per annum beginning on October 15, 2003.
The Renaissance notes are redeemable at the option of the issuer, in whole or in
part, at any time on or after April 15, 2003, initially at 105% of their
principal amount at maturity, plus accrued interest, declining to 100% of the
principal amount at maturity, plus accrued interest, on or after April 15, 2006.
In addition, at any time prior to April 15, 2001, the issuers may redeem up to
35% of the original total principal amount at maturity of the Renaissance notes
with the proceeds of one or more sales of capital stock at


                                       144
<PAGE>   149

110% of their accreted value on the redemption date, provided that after any
such redemption at least $106 million total principal amount at maturity of
Renaissance notes remains outstanding.


     Upon a change of control, the issuers will be required to make an offer to
purchase the Renaissance notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of their
accreted value on the date of the purchase, plus accrued interest, if any. Our
acquisition of Renaissance triggered this requirement. In May 1999, we made an
offer to repurchase the Renaissance notes, and holders of Renaissance notes
representing 30% of the total principal amount outstanding at maturity tendered
their Renaissance notes for repurchase.



     The indenture contains certain covenants that restrict the ability of the
issuers and their restricted subsidiaries to:


     - incur additional debt;

     - create liens;

     - engage in sale-leaseback transactions;

     - pay dividends or make contributions in respect of their capital stock;

     - redeem capital stock;

     - make investments or certain other restricted payments;

     - sell assets;

     - issue or sell stock of restricted subsidiaries;

     - enter into transactions with stockholders or affiliates; or

     - effect a consolidation or merger.


     As of June 30, 1999, there was outstanding $114.4 million, total principal
amount at maturity of Renaissance notes, with an accreted value of $82.6
million.



HELICON NOTES



     On November 3, 1993, The Helicon Group, L.P. and Helicon Capital Corp.
jointly issued $115.0 million aggregate principal amount of 11% senior secured
notes due 2003. On February 3, 1994, the issuers exchanged the original Helicon
notes for an equivalent value of new Helicon notes. The form and terms of the
new Helicon notes are the same as the form and terms of the corresponding
original Helicon notes except that the new Helicon notes were registered under
the Securities Act of 1933 and, therefore the new Helicon notes do not bear
legends restricting their transfer. The Helicon notes bear interest at a rate of
11% per annum.



     The Helicon notes are senior obligations of the issuers and are secured by
substantially all of their cable assets, subject to a number of exceptions. The
Helicon notes may be redeemed at the option of the issuers in whole or in part
at any time, at specified redemption prices plus accrued interest to the date of
redemption. Beginning on November 1, 1999 we may call the Helicon notes at a
redemption price of 103% of total principal amount, plus accrued interest. The
Helicon notes were issued with original issue discount.



     Among other restrictions, the indenture governing the Helicon notes
restricts the ability of the issuers and some of their subsidiaries to:



     - incur additional debt;



     - make specified distributions;



     - redeem equity interests;



     - enter into transactions with affiliates; and


                                       145
<PAGE>   150


     - merge or consolidate with or sell substantially all of the assets of the
       issuers.



     The issuers are required to redeem $25 million principal amount of the
Helicon notes on each of November 1, 2001 and November 1, 2002. Upon specified
change of control events, the issuers are required to make an offer to purchase
all of the Helicon notes at a price equal to 101% of their accreted value until
November 1, 1996, and at a price equal to 101% of their principal amount
thereafter, plus, in each case, accrued interest to the date of purchase. Our
acquisition of Helicon triggered this obligation. We intend to repurchase the
Helicon notes within 120 days of the closing of the Helicon Acquisition.



     The indenture governing the Helicon notes restricts, among other things,
the ability of the issuers and some of their subsidiaries to:



     - incur additional debt;



     - make specified distributions;



     - redeem equity interests;



     - enter into transactions with affiliates; and



     - merge or consolidate with or sell substantially all of the assets of the
       issuers.



     As of June 30, 1999, $115.0 million total principal amount of the Helicon
notes remains outstanding.


PUBLIC DEBT TO BE ASSUMED IN CONNECTION WITH OUR PENDING ACQUISITIONS

  THE FALCON DEBENTURES.  The Falcon debentures, consisting of 8.375% Series A
senior debentures due 2010 and 9.285% Series A senior discount debentures due
2010, were issued by Falcon Holding Group, L.P. and Falcon Funding Corporation
on April 3, 1998. On August 5, 1998, the issuers proposed an exchange offer
whereby the outstanding $375 million Series A senior debentures and $435.25
million Series A senior discount debentures were exchanged for an equivalent
value of Series B senior debentures and Series B senior discount debentures. The
form and terms of the new debentures are the same as the form and terms of the
corresponding original Falcon debentures except that the issuance of the
exchange debentures was registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and,
therefore, the exchange debentures do not bear legends restricting the transfer
thereof.

     The Falcon debentures will mature on April 15, 2010. Interest on the Falcon
debentures accrues from the issue date or from the most recent interest payment
date to which interest has been paid or provided for, payable semiannually on
April 15 and October 15 of each year. No interest on the Series B senior
discount debentures will be paid prior to April 15, 2003. The issuers may,
however, elect to commence accrual of cash interest on any payment date, in
which case the outstanding principal amount at maturity of Series B senior
discount debenture will be reduced to the accreted value of such Series B senior
discount debenture as of such interest payment date and the interest will be
payable semiannually in cash on each interest payment date thereafter.


     The Falcon debentures will be redeemable at the option of the issuers, in
whole or in part, at any time on or after April 15, 2003, at a premium and, in
each case, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption.
This premium declines over time to 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued
and unpaid interest, if any, on or after April 15, 2006. In addition, at any
time prior to April 15, 2001, the issuers may redeem, at a premium, up to 35% of
the total principal amount or accreted value, as applicable, of the Falcon
debentures with the net cash proceeds of specified equity issuances, in each
case plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption.
Following a redemption, at least 65% in total principal amount at maturity of
the Falcon senior discount debentures and $195 million of the total principal
amount of Falcon senior debentures must remain outstanding.


                                       146
<PAGE>   151


     In the event of specified change of control events, the holders of the
Falcon debentures will have the right to require the issuers to purchase their
Falcon debentures at a price equal to 101% of their principal amount or accreted
value, as applicable, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of
purchase. The Falcon acquisition will give rise to this right.


     The Falcon debentures are joint and several senior unsecured obligations of
the issuers. The Falcon debentures are the obligations of the issuers only, and
the issuers' subsidiaries do not have any obligation to pay any amounts due
under the Falcon debentures. Therefore, the Falcon debentures are effectively
subordinated to all existing and future liabilities of the issuers'
subsidiaries.

     Among other restrictions, the indentures governing the Falcon debentures
contain certain limitations on the issuers' and their specified subsidiaries'
ability to:

     - incur additional debt;

     - make restricted payments;

     - create certain liens;

     - sell all or substantially all of their assets or merge with or into other
       companies;

     - invest in unrestricted subsidiaries and affiliates;

     - pay dividends or make any other distributions on any capital stock; and


     - guarantee any debt which is equal or subordinate in right of payment to
       the Falcon debentures.



     As of June 30, 1999, there was $683.7 million in total principal amount
outstanding on the Falcon debentures.


THE AVALON 11 7/8% NOTES


     Avalon Cable LLC, Avalon Cable of Michigan Holdings, Inc. and Avalon Cable
Holdings Finance Inc. are currently in the process of offering to exchange $196
million total principal amount at maturity of new 11 7/8% senior discount notes
for $196 million total principal amount at maturity of their outstanding 11 7/8%
senior discount notes due December 1, 2008 which were issued in December 1998.
The exchange offer is subject to customary conditions that the issuers may
waive. The new Avalon 11 7/8% notes are substantially identical to the original
Avalon 11 7/8% notes except that they will be registered under the Securities
Act of 1933 and, therefore, are not subject to the same transfer restrictions.
The issuers will receive no proceeds from the exchange offer.



     The Avalon 11 7/8% notes are guaranteed by Avalon Cable of Michigan, Inc.,
an equity holder in Avalon Cable LLC, and its sole stockholder, Avalon Cable of
Michigan Holdings, Inc.



     Before December 1, 2003, there will be no current payments of cash interest
on the Avalon 11 7/8% notes. The new Avalon 11 7/8% notes will accrete in value
at a rate of 11 7/8% per annum, compounded semi-annually, to an aggregate
principal amount of $196 million on December 1, 2003. After December 1, 2003,
cash interest on the Avalon 11 7/8% notes:


     - will accrue at the rate of 11 7/8% per year on the principal amount at
       maturity of the new notes, and

     - will be payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each
       year, commencing June 1, 2004.


     On December 1, 2003, the issuers will be required to redeem an amount equal
to $369.79 per $1,000 in principal amount at maturity of each Avalon 11 7/8%
note, on a pro rata basis at a


                                       147
<PAGE>   152

redemption price of 100% of the principal amount at maturity of the Avalon
11 7/8% notes so redeemed.


     On or after December 1, 2003, the issuers may redeem the Avalon 11 7/8%
notes, in whole or in part. Before December 1, 2001, the issuers may redeem up
to 35% of the total principal amount at maturity of the Avalon 11 7/8% notes
with the proceeds of one or more equity offerings and/or strategic equity
investments.


     In the event of specified change of control events, holders of the Avalon
11 7/8% notes will have the right to sell their Avalon 11 7/8% notes to the
issuers at 101% of (a) the accreted value of the Avalon 11 7/8% notes in the
case of repurchases of Avalon notes prior to December 1, 2003 or (b) the total
principal amount of the Avalon 11 7/8% notes in the case of repurchases of
Avalon 11 7/8% notes on or after December 1, 2003, plus accrued and unpaid
interest and liquidated damages, if any, to the date of purchase. Our
acquisition of Avalon will trigger this right.

     Among other restrictions, the indenture governing the Avalon 11 7/8% notes
limits the ability of the issuers and their specified subsidiaries to:

     - incur additional debt;

     - pay dividends or make specified other restricted payments;

     - enter into transactions with affiliates;

     - sell assets or subsidiary stock;

     - create liens;

     - restrict dividends or other payments from restricted subsidiaries;

     - merge, consolidate or sell all or substantially all of their combined
       assets; and

     - with respect to restricted subsidiaries, issue capital stock.


     As of June 30, 1999, the total accreted value of the outstanding Avalon
11 7/8% notes was $114.8 million.


THE AVALON 9 3/8% NOTES


     Avalon Cable LLC, Avalon Cable of New England, LLC, Avalon Cable Finance,
Inc. and Avalon Cable of Michigan, Inc. will be offering to exchange $150
million principal amount of new 9 3/8% senior subordinated notes due 2008 for
$150 million total principal amount of their outstanding original 9 3/8% senior
subordinated notes due 2008 which were issued in December 1998. The form and
terms of the new Avalon 9 3/8% notes are substantially the same as the form and
terms of the original Avalon 9 3/8% notes except that the new Avalon 9 3/8%
notes will be registered under the federal securities laws and will not bear a
legend restricting the transfer thereof. The exchange offer will be subject to
customary conditions which the issuers may waive.



     Interest on the Avalon 9 3/8% notes accrues at a rate of 9.375% per annum
from the date of issuance and will be payable semiannually in arrears on June 1
and December 1, commencing on June 1, 1999. Avalon Cable of Michigan, Inc. will
guarantee the obligations of Avalon Cable LLC with respect to the Avalon 9 3/8%
notes. Avalon Cable of Michigan, Inc., however, does not have any significant
assets other than its interest in Avalon Cable LLC.


     On or after December 1, 2003, the issuers may redeem the Avalon 9 3/8%
notes in whole or in part. Until December 1, 2001, the issuers may redeem up to
35% of the total principal amount of the Avalon 9 3/8% notes at a redemption
price equal to 109.375% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid
interest, if any, and liquidated damages, if any, with the net cash proceeds of
a strategic equity investment and/or an equity offering. Following the
redemption, at

                                       148
<PAGE>   153

least 65% of the total principal amount of the Avalon 9 3/8% notes must remain
outstanding after each redemption.

     Upon the occurrence of specified change of control events or the sale of
certain assets, holders of the Avalon 9 3/8% notes will have the opportunity to
sell their Avalon 9 3/8% notes to the issuers at 101% of their face amount, plus
accrued and unpaid interest and liquidated damages, if any, to the date of
purchase. Our acquisition of Avalon will trigger this right.

     The Avalon 9 3/8% notes are general unsecured obligations of the issuers
and are subordinate in right of payment to all existing and future senior debt
of the issuers. The Avalon 9 3/8% notes rank equal in right of payment to any
senior subordinated debt of the issuers and rank senior in the right of payment
to all subordinated debt of the issuers.

     Among other restrictions, the indenture governing the new Avalon 9 3/8%
notes limits the activities of the issuers and of their specified subsidiaries
to:

          - incur additional debt;

          - pay dividends or make other restricted payments;

          - enter into transactions with affiliates;

          - sell assets or subsidiary stock;

          - create liens;

          - merge, consolidate or sell all or substantially all or their
            combined assets;

          - incur debt that is senior to the Avalon 9 3/8% notes but junior to
            senior debt; and

          - issue capital stock.


     As of June 30, 1999, there was $150.0 million total principal outstanding
on the Avalon 9 3/8% notes.


THE BRESNAN NOTES


     On February 2, 1999, Bresnan Communications Group LLC and Bresnan Capital
Corporation jointly issued $170 million total principal amount of 8% Series A
senior notes due 2009 and $275 million total principal amount at maturity of
9 1/4% Series A senior discount notes due 2009.



     The Bresnan notes have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933
and, therefore, bear legends restricting their transfer. Pursuant to the terms
of the indentures governing the Bresnan notes, the issuers have filed and caused
to be declared effective a registration statement under the Securities Act of
1933 for the exchange of the original Bresnan notes for new Bresnan notes. The
form and terms of the new Bresnan notes are the same in all material respects as
the form and terms of the original Bresnan notes. To avoid penalty interest or
an increased rate of accretion on the Bresnan notes, the issuers are required to
exchange all of the Bresnan notes validly tendered within 210 days of the issue
date.


     The Bresnan senior notes bear interest at 8% per year from the original
issue date or from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or
provided for, payable semiannually on February 1 and August 1 of each year,
commencing on August 1, 1999. The Bresnan senior discount notes bear interest at
9 1/4% per year, compounded semiannually, to a total principal amount of $275
million by February 1, 2004, unless the issuers elect to accrue interest on or
after February 1, 2002. On and after August 1, 2004, interest on the Bresnan
senior discount notes will accrue at a rate of 9 1/4% per year and will be
payable in cash semiannually in arrears on February 1 and August 1.

     The Bresnan senior notes are not redeemable prior to February 1, 2004.
During the year 2004, the Bresnan senior notes are redeemable at 104.00% of the
principal amount plus accrued

                                       149
<PAGE>   154

and unpaid interest. The premium decreases to 102.667% in 2005, 101.33% in 2006
and 100% on or after February 1, 2007.


     The Bresnan senior discount notes are not redeemable prior to February 1,
2004. During the year 2004, the Bresnan senior discount notes will be redeemable
at 104.625% of their accreted value plus accrued and unpaid interest. The
premium decreases to 103.083% in 2005, 101.542% in 2006 and 100% in 2007.


     At any time prior to February 1, 2002, the issuers may redeem up to 35% of
the total principal amount of the Bresnan senior notes at a redemption price
equal to 108% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest,
if any, to the date of redemption with the net cash proceeds of one or more
equity offerings. Following such redemption, at least 65% of the total principal
amount of the Bresnan senior notes must remain outstanding.

     At any time prior to February 1, 2002, the issuers may also redeem up to
35% of the total principal amount at maturity of the Bresnan senior discount
notes at a redemption price equal to 109.250% of the accreted value thereof plus
accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption, with the net
cash proceeds of one or more equity offerings. Following such redemption, at
least 65% of the total principal amount of the Bresnan senior discount notes
must remain outstanding.

     The Bresnan notes will be senior unsecured obligations of the issuers and
will rank equal in right of payment with all existing and future senior debt of
and will be senior in right of payment to all its existing and future
subordinated debt. Bresnan Capital Corporation has no, and the terms of the
indenture governing the Bresnan notes prohibit it from having any, obligations
other than the Bresnan notes.

     Upon the occurrence of specified change of control events, each holder of
Bresnan notes shall have the right to require the issuers to purchase all or any
part of such holder's notes at a purchase price of 101% of the principal amount
in the case of the Bresnan senior notes, and 101% of the accreted value thereof
in the case of the Bresnan senior discount notes, plus accrued and unpaid
interest, if any, to the purchase date.

     Among other restrictions, the indenture governing the Bresnan notes limits
the ability of Bresnan Communications Group LLC and its specified subsidiaries
to:

          - incur additional debt;

          - make specified restricted payments;

          - create liens;

          - create or permit any restrictions on the payment of dividends or
            other distributions to Bresnan Communications Group LLC;

          - guarantee debt;

          - consolidate with, merge into or transfer all or substantially all of
            their assets;

          - sell assets; and

          - transact business with their affiliates.


     As of June 30, 1999, there was $345.0 million in total principal
outstanding on the Bresnan notes.


RIFKIN NOTES


     The Rifkin notes were issued by Rifkin Acquisition Partners, L.L.L.P. and
Rifkin Acquisition Capital Corp. as co-issuers, subsidiaries of the partnership
other than Rifkin Acquisition Capital Corp. as guarantors, and Marine Midland
Bank as trustee. In March 1996, the issuers exchanged


                                       150
<PAGE>   155


$125.0 million aggregate principal amount of the originally issued and
outstanding 11 1/8% senior subordinated notes due 2006 for an equivalent value
of new 11 1/8% senior subordinated notes due 2006. The form and terms of the new
Rifkin notes are substantially identical to the form and terms of the original
Rifkin notes except that the new Rifkin notes have been registered under the
Securities Act and, therefore, do not bear legends restricting the transfer
thereof. Interest on the Rifkin notes accrues at the rate of 11 1/8% per annum
and is payable in cash semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of
each year, commencing July 15, 1996.



     The Rifkin notes are redeemable at the issuers' option, in whole or in
part, at any time on or after January 15, 2001, at 105.563% of the principal
amount together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of the
redemption. This redemption premium declines over time to 100% of the principal
amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on or after January 15, 2005.



     Upon the occurrence of a change of control, each holder of Rifkin notes
will have the right to require the issuers to purchase all or a portion of such
holder's notes at 101% of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued
and unpaid interest, to the date of purchase. Our acquisition of Rifkin will
trigger this requirement and we will make an offer to repurchase the Rifkin
notes.


     The Rifkin notes are jointly and severally guaranteed on a senior
subordinated basis by specified subsidiaries of the issuers. The guarantees of
the Rifkin notes will be general unsecured obligations of the guarantors and
will be subordinated in right of to all existing and future senior debt of the
guarantors.

     Among other restrictions, the indentures governing the Rifkin notes contain
covenants which limit the ability of the issuers and specified subsidiaries to:

     - assume additional debt and issue specified additional equity interests;

     - make restricted payments;

     - enter into transactions with affiliates;

     - incur liens;

     - make specified contributions and payments to Rifkin Acquisition Partners,
       L.L.L.P.;

     - transfer specified assets to subsidiaries; and

     - merge, consolidate, and transfer all or substantially all of the assets
       of Rifkin Acquisition Partners, L.L.L.P. to another person.


     As of June 30, 1999, there was $125.0 million total principal outstanding
on the Rifkin notes.

               DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK AND MEMBERSHIP UNITS

GENERAL


     Upon the completion of the offering, the capital stock of CCI and the
provisions of CCI's certificate of incorporation and bylaws will be as described
below. These summaries are qualified by reference to the certificate of
incorporation and the bylaws, copies of which will be filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission as exhibits to our registration statement, of which this
prospectus forms a part.



     Our authorized capital stock will consist of 1.5 billion shares of Class A
common stock, par value $.001 per share, 1.0 billion shares of Class B common
stock, par value $.001 per share and 250 million shares of preferred stock, par
value $.001 per share.


COMMON STOCK

     As of the completion of the offering, there will be           shares of
Class A common stock issued and outstanding and           shares of Class B
common stock issued and outstanding.


     VOTING RIGHTS.  The holders of Class A common stock and Class B common
stock generally have identical rights, except (A) each holder of Class A common
stock is entitled to one vote per share and each holder of Class B common stock
is entitled to the number of votes per share equal to: (i) ten, multiplied by
the sum of (a) the number of shares of Class B common stock held by the holder
and (b) the number of shares of Class B common stock into which the Charter
Communications Holding Company membership units held as of the applicable record
date, directly or indirectly, by the holder are exchangeable pursuant to an
agreement between the corporation and the holder; divided by (ii) the number of
shares of Class B common stock held by such holder; and (B) the holders of Class
B common stock have the sole power to amend the provisions of CCI's certificate
of incorporation relating to the activities in which CCI may engage. See
"Certain Relationships and Related Transactions -- Allocation of Business
Opportunities with Mr. Allen". The Class B common stockholders are entitled to
elect all but one member of CCI's board of directors. Class A and Class B common
stockholders, voting together as one class, are entitled to elect the members of
CCI's board of directors that are not elected by the holders of the Class B
common stock or by the holders of any series of preferred stock which is
entitled to elect directors. Holders of shares of Class A common stock and Class
B common stock are not entitled to cumulate their votes in the election of
directors. Other than the election of directors and any matters where Delaware
law or CCI's certificate of incorporation requires otherwise, all matters to be
voted on by stockholders must be approved by a majority of the votes entitled to
be cast by the shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock present
in person or represented by proxy, voting together as a single class, subject to
any voting rights granted to holders of any preferred stock. Amendments to CCI's
certificate of incorporation that would alter or change the powers, preferences
or special rights of the Class A common stock or the Class B common stock so as
to affect them adversely also must be approved by a majority of the votes
entitled to be cast by the holders of the outstanding shares affected by the
amendment, voting as a separate class. In addition, any amendment to CCI's
certificate of incorporation (1) to issue any Class B common stock other than in
exchange for Charter Communications Holding Company membership units and other
than pursuant to specified stock splits and dividends, (2) to issue stock having
more than one vote per share or (3) affecting the voting powers of the Class B
common stock, shall be approved upon the affirmative vote of the holders of at
least a majority of the voting power of the outstanding Class B common stock,
voting as a separate class. If for any reason the Class B common stock no longer
is high vote stock, then CCI will assign to Charter Investment its rights and
obligations as sole manager of Charter Communications Holding Company under the
CCI management agreement and of Charter Operating under the Charter Operating
management agreement.


                                       152
<PAGE>   157

     DIVIDENDS.  Holders of Class A common stock and Class B common stock will
share ratably (based on the number of shares of common stock held) in any
dividend declared by CCI's board of directors, subject to any preferential
rights of any outstanding preferred stock. Dividends consisting of shares of
Class A common stock and Class B common stock may be paid only as follows: (i)
shares of Class A common stock may be paid only to holders of shares of Class A
common stock, and shares of Class B common stock may be paid only to holders of
Class B common stock; and (ii) the number of shares of each class of common
stock payable per share of such class of common stock shall be equal in number.


     CONVERSION OF CLASS B COMMON STOCK.  Each share of outstanding Class B
common stock will automatically convert into one share of Class A common stock
if at any time (1) Mr. Allen and his affiliates dispose of shares of CCI common
stock or Charter Communications Holding Company membership units such that after
such dispositions the value of their aggregate investment in CCI and Charter
Communications Holding Company measured as of the closing date of this offering
and (2) at any time following this event, the value of all shares of capital
stock of CCI and its subsidiaries owned by Mr. Allen and his affiliates is less
than 5% of the consolidated stockholders' equity of CCI and its subsidiaries.
Each holder of a share of Class B common stock has the right to convert such
shares into one share of Class A common stock at any time on a one-for-one
basis. Only approved Class B common stockholders may own shares of Class B
common stock. Approved Class B common stockholders are Paul G. Allen, Jerald L.
Kent, Barry L. Babcock, Howard L. Wood and entities controlled by Messrs. Allen,
Kent, Babcock and Wood. If an approved Class B common stockholder transfers any
shares of Class B common stock to a person other than an approved Class B common
stockholder, these shares of Class B common stock will automatically convert
into shares of Class A common stock. In this context, "controlled" means the
ownership of more than 50% of the voting power of an entity and "transfer" means
the transfer of record or beneficial ownership of any such share of Class B
common stock.



     OTHER RIGHTS.  In the event of any merger or consolidation by CCI with or
into another company in connection with which shares of CCI's common stock are
converted into or exchanged for shares of stock, other securities or property
(including cash), all holders of CCI's common stock, regardless of class, will
be entitled to receive the same kind and amount of shares of stock and other
securities and property (including cash), provided that if the shares of CCI's
common stock are converted into or exchanged for shares of capital stock, such
shares of capital stock may differ to the extent and only to the extent that the
Class A common stock and the Class B common stock differ as provided in CCI's
certificate of incorporation.


     Upon CCI's liquidation, dissolution or winding up, after payment in full of
the amounts required to be paid to holders of preferred stock, if any, all
holders of common stock, regardless of class, are entitled to share ratably in
any assets and funds available for distribution to holders of shares of common
stock.

     No shares of any class of common stock are subject to redemption or have
preemptive rights to purchase additional shares of common stock.

     Upon consummation of the offering, all the outstanding shares of Class A
common stock and Class B common stock will be legally issued, fully paid and
nonassessable.

PREFERRED STOCK


     Upon the closing of the offering, CCI's board of directors will be
authorized, without further stockholder approval, to issue from time to time up
to an aggregate of 250 million shares of preferred stock in one or more series
and to fix the numbers, powers, designations, preferences, and any special
rights of the shares of each such series thereof, including the dividend rights,
dividend rates, conversion rights, voting rights (subject, if applicable, to the
approval of holders of the Class B common stock), terms of redemption (including
sinking fund provisions), redemption price or prices, liquidation preferences
and the number of shares constituting any


                                       153
<PAGE>   158

series or designations of such series. Upon the closing of the offering, there
will be no shares of preferred stock outstanding. CCI has no present plans to
issue any shares of preferred stock.

OPTIONS


     As of June 30, 1999, options to purchase a total of 9,494,081 membership
units in Charter Communications Holding Company were outstanding pursuant to the
Charter Communications Holding Company 1999 option plan. None of these options
will vest before April 2000. In addition, 7,044,127 options to purchase units in
Charter Communications Holding Company were outstanding pursuant to an
employment agreement and a related agreement with CCI's chief executive officer.
Of these options, 1,761,032 vested on December 23, 1998, with the remainder
vesting at a rate of 1/36th on the first of each month for months 13 through 48.


ANTI-TAKEOVER EFFECTS OF PROVISIONS OF CCI'S CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION AND
BYLAWS

     Provisions of CCI's certificate of incorporation and bylaws will be deemed
to have an anti-takeover effect and may delay, defer or prevent a tender offer
or takeover attempt that a stockholder might consider in its best interest,
including those attempts that might result in a premium over the market price
for the shares held by stockholders.

     SPECIAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS.  Our bylaws provide that special meetings
of our stockholders may be called only by the chairman of our board of directors
or a majority of our board of directors.


     ADVANCE NOTICE REQUIREMENTS FOR STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS AND DIRECTOR
NOMINATIONS.  Our bylaws provide that stockholders seeking to bring business
before an annual meeting of stockholders, or to nominate candidates for election
as directors at an annual meeting of stockholders, must provide timely notice
thereof in writing. To be timely, a stockholder's notice must be delivered to or
mailed and received at our principal executive offices, not less than 90 days
nor more than 120 days prior to the annual meeting; provided, that in the event
that less than 100 days' notice or prior public disclosure of the date of the
annual meeting is given or made to stockholders, notice by the stockholder to be
timely must be received by the close of business on the 10th day following the
date on which notice of the date of the meeting is given to stockholders or made
public, whichever first occurs. Our bylaws also specify requirements as to the
form and content of a stockholder's notice. These provisions may preclude
stockholders from bringing matters before an annual meeting of stockholders or
from making nominations for directors at an annual meeting of stockholders.


     AUTHORIZED BUT UNISSUED SHARES.  The authorized but unissued shares of
common stock and preferred stock are available for future issuance without
stockholder approval. These additional shares may be utilized for a variety of
corporate purposes, including future public offerings to raise additional
capital, corporate acquisitions and employee benefit plans. The existence of
authorized but unissued shares of common stock and preferred stock could render
more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a
proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise.

MEMBERSHIP UNITS


     Immediately following the offering, there will be             Charter
Communications Holding Company common membership units issued and outstanding,
               of which will be held by Charter Investment,                of
which will be held by Vulcan Cable III and                of which will be held
by CCI.



     The number of outstanding Charter Communications Holding Company membership
units that CCI owns will at all times, to the extent practicable, equal the
number of shares of CCI's outstanding common stock. CCI's Charter Communications
Holding Company membership units


                                       154
<PAGE>   159


will be a separate series of membership units entitling CCI to have at least a
majority of the voting power of all membership units of Charter Communications
Holding Company. However, if for any reason our Class B common stock no longer
is high vote stock, then the Charter Communications Holding Company operating
agreement provides that the Charter Communications Holding Company membership
units held by CCI will no longer have special voting privileges and the Charter
Communications Holding Company membership units held by Charter Investment and
Vulcan Cable III will control Charter Communications Holding Company.



     The net cash proceeds that CCI receives from any issuance of shares of
common stock will be concurrently transferred to Charter Communications Holding
Company in exchange for membership units equal in number to the number of shares
of common stock issued by CCI.



     In addition to common membership units, as part of the consideration for
the Rifkin acquisition, specified sellers may elect to receive preferred
membership units in Charter Communications Holding Company. The value of these
units will accrete at an annual rate of 8.0% and will be mandatorily redeemable
by Charter Communications Holding Company after 15 years. The holders of these
preferred units will have the right to cause Charter Communications Holding
Company to redeem these units for five years from the acquisition closing. If
the acquisition closes prior to this offering, the preferred units will be
exchangeable for shares of Class A common stock in CCI.


EXCHANGE AGREEMENT


     Upon the closing of the offering, we will have entered into an agreement
permitting Vulcan Cable III and Charter Investment to exchange at any time any
or all of their Charter Communications Holding Company membership units for
shares of Class B common stock. The agreement will also permit all holders of
Charter Communications Holding Company membership units other than CCI, Vulcan
Cable III and Charter Investment to exchange at any time any or all of their
membership units for shares of Class A common stock.


SPECIAL ALLOCATION OF LOSSES


     Charter Communications Holding Company's operating agreement will provide
that through the end of 2003, losses of Charter Communications Holding Company
that would otherwise have been allocated to CCI (generally based on the
percentage of membership units in Charter Communications Holding Company held by
it) will instead be allocated, on a per unit basis, to the membership units held
by Vulcan Cable III and Charter Investment at the time of the closing of the
offering. At the time that Charter Communications Holding Company first has
profits that would otherwise have been allocated to CCI (generally based on the
percentage of membership units in Charter Communications Holding Company held by
it), such profits will instead be allocated to the membership units held (at the
time of the closing of the offering) by Vulcan Cable III and Charter Investment
until such time as the amount of profits specially allocated to each such
membership unit is equal to the amount of losses specially allocated to each
such membership unit pursuant to the previous sentence. These provisions are
collectively referred to as the special tax allocations.



     In certain situations, the special tax allocations could result in CCI
having to pay taxes in an amount that is more or less than if Charter
Communications Holding Company had allocated profits and losses to CCI in
proportion to the number of membership units it owns. For example, if Vulcan
Cable III exchanged some or all of its membership units with CCI for Class B
common stock prior to the date that special allocations of profits to Vulcan
Cable III were sufficient to reverse all prior special allocations of losses, it
is possible that CCI could be required to pay higher taxes in years following
such an exchange than if the special tax allocations had not been adopted.
However, CCI does not anticipate that the special tax allocations would result
in CCI having to pay taxes in an amount that is materially different on a
present value basis than the


                                       155
<PAGE>   160

taxes that would be payable had the special tax allocations not been adopted,
although there is no assurance that a material difference will not result.

REGISTRATION RIGHTS


     HOLDERS OF CLASS B COMMON STOCK.  Pursuant to a registration rights
agreement that CCI will enter into with the holders of its Class B common stock,
these holders have the right to cause us to register the shares of Class A
common stock issued to them upon conversion of their shares of Class B common
stock.



     This registration rights agreement provides that each eligible holder is
entitled to unlimited "piggyback" registration rights permitting them to include
their shares of Class A common stock in registration statements filed by us.
These holders may also exercise their demand rights causing us, subject to
specified limitations, to register their Class A shares, provided that the
amount of shares subject to each demand constitutes at least      % of CCI's
outstanding common stock on the date of such demand or has a market value in
excess of $     million. We are obligated to pay the costs associated with all
such registrations.



     Immediately following the offering,                shares of Class A common
stock issuable upon conversion of outstanding Class B common stock and
conversion of Class B common stock issuable upon exchange of Charter
Communications Holding Company membership units will be subject to the
registration rights described above.



     RIFKIN SELLERS.  Pursuant to the registration rights agreement CCI will
enter into with specified sellers in the Rifkin acquisition, these sellers are
entitled to registration rights with respect to the shares of Class A common
stock issuable upon exchange of the membership units in Charter Communications
Holding Company which may be issued as part of the purchase price for the Rifkin
acquisition.



     The registration rights agreement will provide that these Rifkin holders
are entitled to unlimited "piggyback" registration rights. These holders will
also have the right, subject to certain limitations, to make two "demands" that
we register the Class A common shares they own, provided that the amount of
Class A common shares subject to such demand constitutes a specified minimum
market value. We will most likely pay the costs associated with all such
registrations.



     FALCON SELLERS.  Pursuant to the registration rights agreement CCI will
enter into with specified sellers in the Falcon acquisition, these sellers are
entitled to registration rights with respect to the shares of Class A common
stock issuable upon exchange of Charter Communications Holding Company
membership units to be issued to them as part of the consideration for the
Falcon acquisition

registration rights and, beginning 180 days after the offering, up to four
"demand" registration rights with respect to the Class A common stock issued
upon exchange of the Charter Communications Holding Company membership units.
The demand registration rights must be exercised with respect to tranches of
Class A common stock worth at least $40 million at the time of notice of demand
or at least $60 million at the initial public offering price. A majority of the
holders of Class A common stock making a demand may also require us to satisfy
our registration obligations by filing a shelf registration statement. The
selling holders of Class A common stock may also exercise their piggyback rights
with respect to the offering, to the extent this offering occurs prior to or
concurrently with the closing of the Falcon acquisition.



     BRESNAN SELLERS.  Pursuant to the registration rights agreement CCI will
enter into with specified sellers under the Bresnan acquisition, these sellers
are entitled to registration rights with respect to the shares of Class A common

                        SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE


     Prior to the offering, there has been no public market for the shares of
Class A common stock. Upon the completion of the offering, CCI will have
          shares of Class A common stock issued and outstanding. In addition,
the following shares of Class A common stock will be issuable in the future:



     -      shares of Class A common stock will be issuable upon conversion of
Class B common stock issuable upon exchange of Charter Communications Holding
Company membership units held by Vulcan Cable III and Charter Investment. These
membership units are exchangeable for shares of Class B common stock at any time
following the closing of the offering on a one-for-one basis. Shares of Class B
common stock are convertible into shares of Class A common stock at any time
following the closing of the offering on a one-for-one basis;



     -      shares of Class A common stock will be issuable upon the exchange of
Charter Communications Holding Company membership units issued to specified
sellers in our pending acquisitions, assuming the relevant sellers elect to
receive the maximum number of Charter Communications Holding Company membership
units that they are entitled to receive;



     -      shares of Class A common stock will be issuable upon the exchange of
Charter Communications Holding Company membership units that are received upon
the exercise of options granted under the Charter Communications Holding Company
1999 option plan and to CCI's chief executive officer. Upon issuance, these
membership units will be immediately exchanged for shares of Class A common
stock, without any further action by the optionholder; and



     -      shares of Class A common stock will be issuable upon conversion of
outstanding shares of Class B common stock on a one-for-one basis.



     Of the total number of our shares of Class A common stock issued or
issuable as described above,           shares will be eligible for immediate
public resale following the later of their issuance and the completion of this
offering. CCI, all of its directors and executive officers, Charter
Communications Holding Company, Charter Investment and Vulcan Cable III have
agreed not to dispose of or hedge any of their Class A common stock or their
Charter Communications Holding Company membership units or securities
convertible into or exchangeable for Class A common stock or membership units
during the period from the date of this prospectus continuing through the date
180 days after the date of this prospectus, except with the prior written
consent of Goldman, Sachs & Co.



     In addition, of the total number of shares of Class A common stock issued
or issuable as described above,                shares may only be sold in
compliance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, unless registered
under the Securities Act of 1933 pursuant to demand or piggyback registration
rights. Substantially all of the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon
exchange of Charter Communications Holding Company membership units and all
shares of Class A common stock issuable upon conversion of shares of our Class B
common stock will have demand and piggyback registration rights attached to
them, including those issuable to Mr. Allen through Charter Investment and
Vulcan Cable III.


     The sale of a substantial number of shares of Class A common stock, or the
perception that such sales could occur, could adversely affect prevailing market
prices for the Class A common stock. In addition, any such sale or perception
could make it more difficult for us to sell equity securities or equity-related
securities in the future at a time and price that we deem appropriate.

     We anticipate that a registration statement on Form S-8 covering the Class
A common stock that may be issued pursuant to the exercise of options under the
Charter Communications Holding Company 1999 option plan will be filed promptly
after completion of the offering. The shares of Class A common stock covered by
the Form S-8 registration statement generally may be resold in the public market
without restriction or limitation, except in the case of our affiliates who
generally may only resell such shares in accordance with the provisions of Rule
144 of the Securities Act of 1933, other than the holding period requirement.

                    CERTAIN UNITED STATES TAX CONSIDERATIONS
                         FOR NON-UNITED STATES HOLDERS

GENERAL


     The following is a general discussion of the material United States federal
income and estate tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of our Class
A common stock by a non-U.S. Holder. As used in this prospectus, the term
"non-U.S. holder" is any person or entity that, for United States federal income
tax purposes, is either a nonresident alien individual, a foreign corporation, a
foreign partnership or a foreign trust, in each case not subject to United
States federal income tax on a net basis in respect of income or gain with
respect to our common stock.


     This discussion does not address all aspects of United States federal
income and estate taxes that may be relevant to a particular non-U.S. holder in
light of the holder's particular circumstances. This discussion is not intended
to be applicable in all respects to all categories of non-U.S. holders, some of
whom may be subject to special treatment under United States federal income tax
laws, including "controlled foreign corporations," "passive foreign investment
companies," and "foreign personal holding companies". Moreover, this discussion
does not address United States state or local or foreign tax consequences. This
discussion is based on provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended, existing and proposed regulations promulgated under, and administrative
and judicial interpretations of, the Internal Revenue Code in effect on the date
of this prospectus. All of these authorities may change, possibly with
retroactive effect or different interpretations. The following summary is
included in this prospectus for general information. Accordingly, prospective
investors are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the United States
federal, state, local and non-United States income and other tax consequences of
acquiring, holding and disposing of shares of our common stock.

     An individual may be deemed to be a resident alien, as opposed to a
nonresident alien, by virtue of being present in the United States for at least
31 days in the calendar year and for an aggregate of at least 183 days during a
three-year period ending in the current calendar year. In determining whether an
individual is present in the United States for at least 183 days, all of the
days present in the current year, one-third of the days present in the
immediately preceding year and one-sixth of the days present in the second
preceding year are counted. Resident aliens are subject to United States federal
income and estate tax in the same manner as United States citizens and
residents.

DIVIDENDS

     We do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our capital stock in the
foreseeable future. See "Dividend Policy". In the event, however, that dividends
are paid on shares of our Class A common stock, dividends paid to a non-U.S.
holder of our Class A common stock generally will be subject to United States
withholding tax at a 30% rate, unless an applicable income tax treaty provides
for a lower withholding rate. Non-U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors
regarding their entitlement to benefits under a relevant income tax treaty.

     Currently, the applicable United States Treasury regulations presume,
absent actual knowledge to the contrary, that dividends paid to an address in a
foreign country are paid to a resident of such country for purposes of the 30%
withholding tax discussed above. However, recently finalized United States
Treasury regulations provide that in the case of dividends paid after December
31, 2000, United States backup withholding tax at a 31% rate will be imposed on
dividends paid to non-U.S. holders if the certification or documentary evidence
procedures and requirements set forth in such regulations are not satisfied
directly or through an intermediary. Further, in order to claim the benefit of
an applicable income tax treaty rate for dividends paid after December 31, 2000,
a non-U.S. holder must comply with certification requirements set forth

                                       160
<PAGE>   165

in the recently finalized United States Treasury regulations. The final United
States Treasury regulations also provide special rules for dividend payments
made to foreign intermediaries, United States or foreign wholly owned entities
that are disregarded for United States federal income tax purposes and entities
that are treated as fiscally transparent in the United States, the applicable
income tax treaty jurisdiction, or both. Prospective investors should consult
with their own tax advisors concerning the effect, if any, of these tax
regulations and the recent legislation on an investment in the Class A common
stock.

     A non-U.S. holder of Class A common stock that is eligible for a reduced
rate of United States withholding tax pursuant to an income tax treaty may
obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld by filing an appropriate claim
for a refund with the Internal Revenue Service.

     Dividends paid to a non-U.S. holder are taxed generally on a net income
basis at regular graduated rates where such dividends are either:

          (1) effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business of
     such holder in the United States or

          (2) attributable to a permanent establishment of such holder in the
     United States.


The 30% withholding tax is not applicable to the payment of dividends if the
non-U.S. Holder files Form 4224 or any successor form with the payor, or, in the
case of dividends paid after December 31, 2000, such holder provides its United
States taxpayer identification number to the payor. In the case of a non-U.S.
holder that is a corporation, such income may also be subject to an additional
"branch profits tax" at a 30% rate or such lower rate as may be specified by an
applicable income tax treaty.


GAIN ON DISPOSITION OF CLASS A COMMON STOCK

     A non-U.S. holder generally will not have to comply with United States
federal income or withholding tax requirements in respect of gain recognized on
a disposition of Class A common stock unless:

          (1) the gain is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or
     business of the non-U.S. holder within the United States or of a
     partnership, trust or estate in which the non-U.S. holder is a partner or
     beneficiary within the United States,

          (2) the gain is attributable to a permanent establishment of the
     non-U.S. holder within the United States,

          (3) the non-U.S. holder is an individual who holds the Class A common
     stock as a capital asset within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Internal
     Revenue Code, is present in the United States for 183 or more days in the
     taxable year of the disposition and meets certain other tax law
     requirements,

          (4) the non-U.S. holder is a United States expatriate required to pay
     tax pursuant to the provisions of United States tax law, or


          (5) we are or have been a "United States real property holding
     corporation" for federal income tax purposes at any time during the shorter
     of the five-year period preceding such disposition or the period that the
     non-U.S. holder holds the common stock.


     Generally, a corporation is a United States real property holding
corporation if the fair market value of its United States real property
interests equals or exceeds 50% of the sum of the fair market value of its
worldwide real property interests plus its other assets used or held for use in
a trade or business.

     We believe that we are not, have not been and do not anticipate becoming, a
United States real property holding corporation for United States federal income
tax purposes. However, even if we were to become a United States real property
holding corporation, any gain realized by a non-U.S. holder still would not be
subject to United States federal income tax if our shares are regularly traded
on an established securities market and the non-U.S. holder did not own,
directly or indirectly, at any time during the five-year period ending on the
date of sale or other

                                       161
<PAGE>   166

disposition, more than 5% of our Class A common stock. If, however, our stock is
not so treated, on a sale or disposition by a non-U.S. holder of our Class A
common stock, the transferee of such stock will be required to withhold 10% of
the proceeds unless we certify that either we are not and have not been a United
States real property holding company or another exemption from withholding
applies.

     A non-U.S. holder who is an individual and meets the requirements of clause
(1), (2) or (4) above will be required to pay tax on the net gain derived from a
sale of Class A common stock at regular graduated United States federal income
tax rates. Further, a non-U.S. holder who is an individual and who meets the
requirements of clause (3) above generally will be subject to a flat 30% tax on
the gain derived from a sale. Thus, individual non-U.S. holders who have spent
or expect to spend a short period of time in the United States should consult
their tax advisors prior to the sale of Class A common stock to determine the
United States federal income tax consequences of the sale. A non-U.S. holder who
is a corporation and who meets the requirements of clause (1) or (2) above
generally will be required to pay tax on its net gain at regular graduated
United States federal income tax rates. Such non-U.S. holder may also have to
pay a branch profits tax.

FEDERAL ESTATE TAX

     For United States federal estate tax purposes, an individual's gross estate
will include the Class A common stock owned, or treated as owned, by an
individual. Generally, this will be the case regardless of whether such
individual was a United States citizen or a United States resident. This general
rule of inclusion may be limited by an applicable estate tax or other treaty.

INFORMATION REPORTING AND BACKUP WITHHOLDING TAX

     Under United States Treasury regulations, we must report annually to the
Internal Revenue Service and to each non-U.S. holder the amount of dividends
paid to such holder and the tax withheld with respect to such dividends. These
information reporting requirements apply regardless of whether withholding is
required. Copies of the information returns reporting such dividends and
withholding may also be made available to the tax authorities in the country in
which the non-U.S. holder is a resident under the provisions of an applicable
income tax treaty or agreement.

     Currently, the 31% United States backup withholding tax generally will not
apply:

     (1) to dividends which are paid to non-U.S. holders and are taxed at the
         regular 30% withholding tax rate as discussed above, or

     (2) before January 1, 2001, to dividends paid to a non-U.S. holder at an
         address outside of the United States unless the payor has actual
         knowledge that the payee is a U.S. holder.

     Backup withholding and information reporting generally will apply to
dividends paid to addresses inside the United States on shares of Class A common
stock to beneficial owners that are not "exempt recipients" and that fail to
provide identifying information in the manner required.

     The recently finalized United States Treasury regulations provide that in
the case of dividends paid after December 31, 2000, a non-U.S. holder generally
would be subject to backup withholding tax at the rate of 31% unless

     (1) certification procedures, or

     (2) documentary evidence procedures, in the case of payments made outside
         the United States with respect to an offshore account

are satisfied. These regulations generally presume a non-U.S. holder is subject
to backup withholding at the rate of 31% and information reporting requirements
unless we receive

                                       162
<PAGE>   167

certification of the holder's non-United States status. Depending on the
circumstances, this certification will need to be provided either:

     (1) directly by the non-U.S. holder,

     (2) in the case of a non-U.S. holder that is treated as a partnership or
         other fiscally transparent entity, by the partners, shareholders or
         other beneficiaries of such entity, or

     (3) by qualified financial institutions or other qualified entities on
         behalf of the non-U.S. holder.

     Information reporting and backup withholding at the rate of 31% generally
will not apply to the payment of the proceeds of the disposition of Class A
common stock by a holder to or through the United States office of a broker or
through a non-United States branch of a United States broker unless the holder
either certifies its status as a non-U.S. holder under penalties of perjury or
otherwise establishes an exemption. The payment of the proceeds of the
disposition by a non-U.S. holder of Class A common stock to or through a
non-United States office of a non-United States broker will not be subject to
backup withholding or information reporting unless the non-United States broker
has a connection to the United States as specified by United States federal tax
law.

     In the case of the payment of proceeds from the disposition of Class A
common stock effected by a foreign office of a broker that is a United States
person or a "United States related person," existing regulations require
information reporting on the payment unless:

     (1)(A) the broker receives a statement from the owner, signed under penalty
            of perjury, certifying its non-United States status or (B) the
            broker has documentary evidence in its files as to the non-U.S.
            holder's foreign status and the broker has no actual knowledge to
            the contrary, and other United States federal tax law conditions are
            met or

     (2)     the beneficial owner otherwise establishes an exemption.

     For this purpose, a "U.S. related person" is either:

          (1) a "controlled foreign corporation" for United States federal
              income tax purposes or

          (2) a foreign person 50% or more of whose gross income from all
              sources for the three-year period ending with the close of its
              taxable year preceding the payment is derived from activities that
              are effectively connected with the conduct of a United States
              trade or business.

     After December 31, 2000, the regulations under the Internal Revenue Code
will impose information reporting and backup withholding on payments of the
gross proceeds from the sale or redemption of Class A common stock that is
effected through foreign offices of brokers having any of a broader class of
specified connections with the United States. Such information reporting and
backup withholding may be avoided, however, if the applicable Internal Revenue
Service certification requirements are complied with. Prospective investors
should consult with their own tax advisors regarding the regulations under the
Internal Revenue Code and in particular with respect to whether the use of a
particular broker would subject the investor to these rules.

     Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules from a payment to a
non-U.S. holder will be either refunded or credited against the holder's United
States federal tax liability, provided sufficient information is furnished to
the Internal Revenue Service.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     On July 22, 1999, Charter Investment, Inc. (Charter Investment), a company
controlled by Paul G. Allen, formed a wholly owned subsidiary, Charter
Communications, Inc. (CCI or the Company), a Delaware corporation with an
initial investment of $100. The Company has no operations or cash flows other
than the initial investment made by Charter Investment. Accordingly, statements
of operations and cash flows are not presented.


     In July 1999, the Company plans to file a registration statement with the
SEC for the issuance of common stock to the public (IPO). CCI will be a holding
company whose sole asset will be a controlling equity interest in Charter
Communications Holding Company, LLC (Charter Communications Holding Company), a
direct and indirect owner of cable systems. CCI will purchase the controlling
equity interest in Charter Communications Holding Company using the net proceeds
from the IPO.

Holdings Corp. and Charter Communications Long Beach, Inc.), all cable
television operating companies, for $2.0 billion, excluding $1.8 billion in debt
assumed from unrelated third parties for fair value. Charter previously managed
and owned minority interests in these companies. These acquisitions were
accounted for using the purchase method of accounting, and accordingly, results
of operations of CharterComm Holdings and CCA Group are included in the
financial statements from the date of acquisition. In February 1999, Charter
transferred all of its cable television operating subsidiaries to a wholly owned
subsidiary of Charter Communications Holdings, LLC (Charter Holdings), Charter
Communications Operating, LLC (Charter Operating). Charter Holdings is a wholly
owned subsidiary of CCHC. This transfer was accounted for as a reorganization of
entities under common control similar to a pooling of interests.



     As a result of the change in ownership of CCP, CharterComm Holdings and CCA
Group, CCHC has applied push-down accounting in the preparation of the
consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, CCHC increased its members'
equity by $2.2 billion to reflect the amounts paid by Paul G. Allen and Charter.
The purchase price was allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed
based on their relative fair values, including amounts assigned to franchises of
$3.6 billion. The allocation of the purchase price is based, in part, on
preliminary information which is subject to adjustment upon obtaining complete
valuation information of intangible assets. The valuation information is
expected to be finalized in the third quarter of 1999. Management believes that
finalization of the purchase price will not have a material impact on the
results of operations or financial position of CCHC.



     On April 23, 1998, Paul G. Allen and a company controlled by Paul G. Allen,
(the "Paul G. Allen Companies") purchased substantially all of the outstanding
partnership interests in Marcus Cable Company L.L.C. (Marcus Cable) for $1.4
billion, excluding $1.8 billion in assumed liabilities. The owner of the
remaining partnership interest retained voting control of Marcus Cable. In
February 1999, Marcus Cable Holdings, LLC (Marcus Holdings) was formed and Mr.
Allen's interests in Marcus Cable were transferred to Marcus Holdings. On March
31, 1999, Paul G. Allen purchased the remaining partnership interests in Marcus
Cable, including voting control. On April 7, 1999, Marcus Holdings was merged
into Charter Holdings and Marcus Cable was transferred to Charter Holdings. For
financial reporting purposes, the merger was accounted for as an acquisition of
Marcus Cable effective March 31, 1999, the date Paul G. Allen obtained voting
control of Marcus Cable. Accordingly, the results of operations of Marcus Cable
have not been included in the financial statements for the period ended December
31, 1998.

          CHARTER COMMUNICATIONS HOLDING COMPANY, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES



           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)



     The consolidated financial statements of CCHC include the accounts of
Charter Operating and CCP and the accounts of CharterComm Holdings and CCA Group
and their subsidiaries since December 23, 1998 (date acquired by Charter) and
are collectively referred to as the "Company" herein. All subsidiaries are
wholly owned. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been
eliminated. The Company derives its primary source of revenues by providing
various levels of cable television programming and services to residential and
business customers. As of December 31, 1998, the Company provided cable
television services to customers in 20 states in the U.S.



     The consolidated financial statements of CCHC for periods prior to December
24, 1998, are not presented herein since, as a result of the Paul Allen
Transaction and the application of push down accounting, the financial
information as of December 31, 1998, and for the period from December 24, 1998,
through December 31, 1998, is presented on a different cost basis than the
financial information as of December 31, 1997, and for the periods prior to
December 24, 1998. Such information is not comparable.



CASH EQUIVALENTS



     The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original
maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 1998,
cash equivalents consist primarily of repurchase agreements. These investments
are carried at cost that approximates market value.



PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT



     Property, plant and equipment is recorded at cost, including all direct and
certain indirect costs associated with the construction of cable television
transmission and distribution facilities, and the cost of new customer
installations. The costs of disconnecting a customer are charged to expense in
the period incurred. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to
expense as incurred, and equipment replacement and betterments are capitalized.



     Depreciation is provided on the straight-line basis over the estimated
useful lives of the related assets as follows:



<TABLE>
<S>                                                             <C>
Cable distribution systems..................................    3-15 years
Buildings and leasehold improvements........................    5-15 years
Vehicles and equipment......................................     3-5 years
</TABLE>



FRANCHISES



     Costs incurred in obtaining and renewing cable franchises are deferred and
amortized over the lives of the franchises. Costs relating to unsuccessful
franchise applications are charged to expense when it is determined that the
efforts to obtain the franchise will not be successful. Franchise rights
acquired through the purchase of cable television systems represent management's
estimate of fair value and are generally amortized using the straight-line
method over a period of 15 years. The period of 15 years is management's best
estimate of the useful lives of the franchises and assumes substantially all of
those franchises that expire during the period will be renewed by the Company.



IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS



     If facts and circumstances suggest that a long-lived asset may be impaired,
the carrying value is reviewed. If a review indicates that the carrying value of
such asset is not recoverable


                                      F-16
<PAGE>   186

          CHARTER COMMUNICATIONS HOLDING COMPANY, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES



           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)



based on projected undiscounted cash flows related to the asset over its
remaining life, the carrying value of such asset is reduced to its estimated
fair value.



REVENUES



     Cable television revenues from basic and premium services are recognized
when the related services are provided.



     Installation revenues are recognized to the extent of direct selling costs
incurred. The remainder, if any, is deferred and amortized to income over the
estimated average period that customers are expected to remain connected to the
cable television system. As of December 31, 1998, no installation revenue has
been deferred, as direct selling costs have exceeded installation revenue.



     Fees collected from programmers to guarantee carriage are deferred and
amortized to income over the life of the contracts. Local governmental
authorities impose franchise fees on the Company ranging up to a federally
mandated maximum of 5.0% of gross revenues. On a monthly basis, such fees are
collected from the Company's customers and are periodically remitted to local
franchises. Franchise fees collected and paid are reported as revenues.



INTEREST RATE HEDGE AGREEMENTS



     The Company manages fluctuations in interest rates by using interest rate
hedge agreements, as required by certain debt agreements. Interest rate swaps,
caps and collars are accounted for as hedges of debt obligations, and
accordingly, the net settlement amounts are recorded as adjustments to interest
expense in the period incurred. Premiums paid for interest rate caps are
deferred, included in other assets, and are amortized over the original term of
the interest rate agreement as an adjustment to interest expense.



     The Company's interest rate swap agreements require the Company to pay a
fixed rate and receive a floating rate thereby creating fixed rate debt.
Interest rate caps and collars are entered into by the Company to reduce the
impact of rising interest rates on floating rate debt.



     The Company's participation in interest rate hedging transactions involves
instruments that have a close correlation with its debt, thereby managing its
risk. Interest rate hedge agreements have been designed for hedging purposes and
are not held or issued for speculative purposes.



INCOME TAXES



     Income taxes are the responsibility of the individual members or partners
and are not provided for in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
In addition, certain subsidiaries are corporations subject to income taxes but
have no operations and, therefore, no material income tax liabilities or assets.



SEGMENTS



     In 1998, the Company adopted SFAS No. 131, "Disclosure about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information." Segments have been identified based upon
management responsibility. The Company operates in one segment, cable services.



USE OF ESTIMATES



     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported

                                      F-17

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)



amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.



2.  PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION (UNAUDITED):



     In addition to the acquisitions by Charter of CharterComm Holdings and CCA
Group, the Company acquired cable television systems for an aggregate purchase
price, net of cash acquired, of $291,800 and $342,100 in 1998 and 1997,
respectively, all prior to December 24, 1998. The Company also refinanced
substantially all of its long-term debt in March 1999 (see Note 12).

     A summary of debt and the related interest rate hedge agreements at
December 31, 1998, is as follows:



<TABLE>

Credit Agreements (including CCP, CCA Group and
  CharterComm Holdings)............................  $1,726,500    $       --    $1,726,500
Senior Secured Discount Debentures.................     138,102            --       138,102
11 1/4% Senior Notes...............................     137,604            --       137,604
INTEREST RATE HEDGE AGREEMENTS
Swaps..............................................     (23,216)    1,105,000       (23,216)
Caps...............................................          --        15,000            --
Collars............................................      (4,174)      310,000        (4,174)
</TABLE>



     As the long-term debt under the credit agreements bears interest at current
market rates, their carrying amount approximates market value at December 31,
1998. The fair values of the 11 1/4% Notes and the Debentures are based on
quoted market prices.



     The weighted average interest pay rate for the Company's interest rate swap
agreements was 7.66% at December 31, 1998. The weighted average interest rate
for the Company's interest rate cap agreements was 8.55% at December 31, 1998.
The weighted average interest rates for the Company's interest rate collar
agreements were 8.61% and 7.31% for the cap and floor components, respectively,
at December 31, 1998.



     The notional amounts of interest rate hedge agreements do not represent
amounts exchanged by the parties and, thus, are not a measure of the Company's
exposure through its use of interest rate hedge agreements. The amounts
exchanged are determined by reference to the notional amount and the other terms
of the contracts.



     The fair value of interest rate hedge agreements generally reflects the
estimated amounts that the Company would receive or pay (excluding accrued
interest) to terminate the contracts on the reporting date, thereby taking into
account the current unrealized gains or losses of open contracts. Dealer
quotations are available for the Company's interest rate hedge agreements.



     Management believes that the sellers of the interest rate hedge agreements
will be able to meet their obligations under the agreements. In addition, some
of the interest rate hedge agreements are with certain of the participating
banks under the Company's credit facilities, thereby reducing the exposure to
credit loss. The Company has policies regarding the financial stability and
credit standing of major counterparties. Nonperformance by the counterparties is
not anticipated nor would it have a material adverse effect on the Company's
consolidated financial position or results of operations.



8.  RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS:



     Charter provides management services to the Company including centralized
customer billing services, data processing and related support, benefits
administration and coordination of insurance coverage and self-insurance
programs for medical, dental and workers' compensation claims. Certain costs for
services are billed and charged directly to the Company's operating subsidiaries
and are included in operating costs. These billings are determined based on the
number of basic customers. Such costs totaled $128 for the period from December
24, 1998,


                                      F-22
<PAGE>   192

          CHARTER COMMUNICATIONS HOLDING COMPANY, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES



           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)



through December 31, 1998. All other costs incurred by Charter on behalf of the
Company are recorded as expenses in the accompanying consolidated financial
statements and are included in corporate expense charges -- related party.
Management believes that costs incurred by Charter on the Company's behalf and
included in the accompanying financial statements are not materially different
than costs the Company would have incurred as a stand alone entity.



     Charter utilizes a combination of excess insurance coverage and
self-insurance programs for its medical, dental and workers' compensation
claims. Charges are made to the Company as determined by independent actuaries
at the present value of the actuarially computed present and future liabilities
for such benefits. Medical coverage provides for $2,435 aggregate stop loss
protection and a loss limitation of $100 per person per year. Workers'
compensation coverage provides for $800 aggregate stop loss protection and a
loss limitation of $150 per person per year.



     The Company is charged a management fee based on percentages of revenues or
a flat fee plus additional fees based on percentages of operating cash flows, as
stipulated in the management agreements between Charter and the operating
subsidiaries. To the extent management fees charged to the Company are greater
(less) than the corporate expenses incurred by Charter, the Company will record
distributions to (capital contributions from) Charter. For the period from
December 24, 1998, through December 31, 1998, the management fee charged to the
Company approximated the corporate expenses incurred by Charter on behalf of the
Company. As of December 31, 1998, management fees currently payable of $473 are
included in payables to manager of cable television systems-related party.
Beginning in 1999, the management fee will be based on 3.5% of revenues as
permitted by the new debt agreements of the Company (see Note 13).



     Charter, Paul G. Allen and certain affiliates of Mr. Allen own equity
interests or warrants to purchase equity interests in various entities which
provide services or programming to the Company, including High Speed Access
Corp. (High Speed Access), WorldGate Communications, Inc. (WorldGate), Wink
Communications, Inc. (Wink), ZDTV, USA Networks, Inc. (USA Networks) and Oxygen
Media Inc. (Oxygen Media). In addition, certain officers or directors of the
Company also serve as directors of High Speed Access and USA Networks. The
Company and its affiliates do not hold controlling interests in any of these
companies.



     Certain of the Company's cable television subscribers receive cable
modem-based internet access through High Speed Access and TV-based internet
access through WorldGate. For the period from December 24, 1998, through
December 31, 1998, revenues attributable to these services were less than 1% of
total revenues.



     The Company receives or will receive programming and certain interactive
features embedded into the programming for broadcast via its cable television
systems from Wink, ZDTV, USA Networks and Oxygen Media. The Company pays a fee
for the programming service generally based on the number of subscribers
receiving the service. Such fees for the period from December 24, 1998, through
December 31, 1998, were less than 1% of total operating costs. In addition, the
Company receives commissions from USA Networks for home shopping sales generated
by its customers. Such revenues for the period from December 24, 1998, through
December 31, 1998, were less than 1% of total revenues.

9.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:

LEASES


     The Company leases certain facilities and equipment under noncancelable
operating leases. Leases and rental costs charged to expense for the period from
December 24, 1998, through December 31, 1998, were $70. Future minimum lease
payments are as follows:



<TABLE>
<S>                                                           <C>

2003........................................................     366
Thereafter..................................................   1,698
</TABLE>



     The Company also rents utility poles in its operations. Generally, pole
rentals are cancelable on short notice, but the Company anticipates that such
rentals will recur. Rent expense incurred for pole rental attachments for the
period from December 24, 1998, through December 31, 1998, was $137.


LITIGATION

     The Company is a party to lawsuits that arose in the ordinary course of
conducting its business. In the opinion of management, after consulting with
legal counsel, the outcome of these lawsuits will not have a material adverse
effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of
operations.

REGULATION IN THE CABLE TELEVISION INDUSTRY

     The cable television industry is subject to extensive regulation at the
federal, local and, in some instances, state levels. The Cable Communications
Policy Act of 1984 (the "1984 Cable Act"), the Cable Television Consumer
Protection and Competition Act of 1992 (the "1992 Cable Act" and together with
the 1984 Cable Act, the "Cable Acts"), and the Telecommunications Act of 1996
(the "1996 Telecom Act"), establish a national policy to guide the development
and regulation of cable television systems. The Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) has principal responsibility for implementing the policies of
the Cable Acts. Many aspects of such regulation are currently the subject of
judicial proceedings and administrative or legislative proposals. Legislation
and regulations continue to change, and the Company cannot predict the impact of
future developments on the cable television industry.

     The 1992 Cable Act and the FCC's rules implementing that act generally have
increased the administrative and operational expenses of cable television
systems and have resulted in additional regulatory oversight by the FCC and
local or state franchise authorities. The Cable Acts and the corresponding FCC
regulations have established rate regulations.

     The 1992 Cable Act permits certified local franchising authorities to order
refunds of basic service tier rates paid in the previous twelve-month period
determined to be in excess of the maximum permitted rates. As of December 31,
1998, the amount refunded by the Company has been insignificant. The Company may
be required to refund additional amounts in the future.

     The Company believes that it has complied in all material respects with the
provisions of the 1992 Cable Act, including the rate setting provisions
promulgated by the FCC. However, in

                                      F-24
<PAGE>   194

          CHARTER COMMUNICATIONS HOLDING COMPANY, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES



           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)


jurisdictions that have chosen not to certify, refunds covering the previous
twelve-month period may be ordered upon certification if the Company is unable
to justify its basic rates. The Company is unable to estimate at this time the
amount of refunds, if any, that may be payable by the Company in the event
certain of its rates are successfully challenged by franchising authorities or
found to be unreasonable by the FCC. The Company does not believe that the
amount of any such refunds would have a material adverse effect on the
consolidated financial position or results of operations of the Company.

     The 1996 Telecom Act, among other things, immediately deregulated the rates
for certain small cable operators and in certain limited circumstances rates on
the basic service tier, and as of March 31, 1999, deregulates rates on the cable
programming service tier (CPST). The FCC is currently developing permanent
regulations to implement the rate deregulation provisions of the 1996 Telecom
Act. The Company cannot predict the ultimate effect of the 1996 Telecom Act on
the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.

     The FCC may further restrict the ability of cable television operators to
implement rate increases or the United States Congress may enact legislation
that could delay or suspend the scheduled March 1999 termination of CPST rate
regulation. This continued rate regulation, if adopted, could limit the rates
charged by the Company.

     A number of states subject cable television systems to the jurisdiction of
centralized state governmental agencies, some of which impose regulation of a
character similar to that of a public utility. State governmental agencies are
required to follow FCC rules when prescribing rate regulation, and thus, state
regulation of cable television rates is not allowed to be more restrictive than
the federal or local regulation. The Company is subject to state regulation in
Connecticut.

10.  EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS:


     The Company's employees may participate in 401(k) plans (the "401(k)
Plans"). Employees that qualify for participation can contribute up to 15% of
their salary, on a before tax basis, subject to a maximum contribution limit as
determined by the Internal Revenue Service. The Company made contributions to
the 401(k) Plans totaling $20 for the period from December 24, 1998, through
December 31, 1998.


11.  ACCOUNTING STANDARD NOT YET IMPLEMENTED:


     In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board adopted SFAS No.
133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS No.
133 establishes accounting and reporting standards requiring that every
derivative instrument (including certain derivative instruments embedded in
other contracts) be recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or
liability measured at its fair value and that changes in the derivative's fair
value be recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting
criteria are met. Special accounting for qualifying hedges allows a derivative's
gains and losses to offset related results on the hedged item in the income
statement, and requires that a company must formally document, designate and
assess the effectiveness of transactions that receive hedge accounting. SFAS No.
133 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. The Company has
not yet quantified the impacts of adopting SFAS No. 133 on its consolidated
financial statements nor has it determined the timing or method of its adoption
of SFAS No. 133. However, SFAS No. 133 could increase volatility in earnings
(loss).

13.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS:



     Through April 19, 1999, the Company has entered into definitive agreements
to purchase eight cable television companies, including a swap of cable
television systems, for approximately $4.6 billion. The swap of cable television
systems will be recorded at the fair value of the systems exchanged. The
acquisitions are expected to close no later than March 31, 2000. The
acquisitions will be accounted for using the purchase method of accounting, and
accordingly,

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)


results of operations of the acquired businesses will be included in the
financial statements from the dates of acquisitions.


     In March 1999, concurrent with the issuance of $600.0 million 8.250% Senior
Notes due 2007, $1.5 billion 8.625% Senior Notes due 2009 and $1.475 billion
9.920% Senior Discount Notes due 2011 (collectively, the "CCH Notes"), the
Company extinguished substantially all long-term debt, excluding borrowings of
the Company under its credit agreements, and refinanced substantially all
existing credit agreements at various subsidiaries with a new credit agreement
(the "CCO Credit Agreement") entered into by Charter Operating. The Company
expects to record an extraordinary loss of approximately $8 million in
conjunction with the extinguishment of substantially all long-term debt and the
refinancing of its credit agreements.


     The CCO Credit Agreement provides for two term facilities, one with a
principal amount of $1.0 billion that matures September 2008 (Term A), and the
other with the principal amount of $1.85 billion that matures on March 2009
(Term B). The CCO Credit Agreement also provides for a $1.25 billion revolving
credit facility with a maturity date of September 2008. Amounts under the CCO
Credit Agreement bear interest at the Base Rate or the Eurodollar rate, as
defined, plus a margin up to 2.75%. A quarterly commitment fee of between 0.25%
and 0.375% per annum is payable on the unborrowed balance of Term A and the
revolving credit facility. On March 17, 1999, the Company borrowed $1.75 billion
under Term B and invested the excess cash of $1.0 billion in short-term
investments.


     Charter Communications Holdings Capital Corporation is a co-issuer of the
CCH Notes and is a wholly owned finance subsidiary of Charter Holdings with no
independent assets or operations.



     In accordance with an employment agreement between Charter and the
President and Chief Executive Officer of Charter and a related option agreement
between CCHC and the President and Chief Executive Officer of Charter, 7,044,127
options to purchase 3% of the net equity value of CCHC were issued to the
President and Chief Executive Officer of Charter. The options vest over a four
year period from the date of grant and expire ten years from the date of grant.



     In February 1999, the Company adopted an option plan providing for the
grant of options to purchase up to an 10% of the aggregate equity value of the
subsidiaries of CCHC as of February 1999. The option plan provides for grants of
options to employees, and consultants of CCHC and its affiliates and consultants
who provide services to CCHC. Options granted vest over five years from the date
of grant. However, if there has not been a public offering of the equity
interests of CCHC or an affiliate, vesting will occur only upon termination of
employment for any reason, other than for cause or disability. Options not
exercised accumulate and are exercisable, in whole or in part, in any subsequent
period, but not later than ten years from the date of grant.


     Options outstanding as of March 31, 1999, are as follows:

</TABLE>


     The Company follows Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting
for Stock Issued to Employees" to account for the option plans. Stock option
compensation expense of $845 has been recorded in the financial statements since
the exercise price is less than the estimated fair value of the underlying
membership interests on the date of grant. Estimated fair

value was determined by the Company using the valuation inherent in the Paul
Allen Transaction and valuations of public companies in the cable television
industry adjusted for factors specific to the Company. Compensation expense is
being accrued over the vesting period of each grant that varies from four to
five years. As of March 31, 1999, deferred Compensation remaining to be
recognized in future period totalled $160 million. Had compensation expense for
the option plans been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates
under the provisions of SFAS No. 123, the Company's net loss would have been
$5.5 million for the period from December 24, 1998, through December 31, 1998.
The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the
Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: no dividend
yield, expected volatility of 44.00%, risk free rate of 5.00%, and expected
option lives of 10 years.

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS



To Charter Communications Holding Company, LLC:



     We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Charter
Communications Holding Company, LLC and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1997,
and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholder's investment
and cash flows for the period from January 1, 1998, through December 23, 1998,
and for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996. These consolidated financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.


     We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. 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 financial position of Charter Communications
Holding Company, LLC and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1997, and the results
of their operations and their cash flows for the period from January 1, 1998,
through December 23, 1998, and for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996,
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Investment, Inc. (Charter), formerly Charter Communications, Inc. Charter,
through its wholly owned cable television operating subsidiary, Charter
Communications Properties, LLC (CCP), commenced operations with the acquisition
of a cable television system on September 30, 1995.



     Effective December 23, 1998, through a series of transactions, Paul G.
Allen acquired approximately 94% of Charter for an aggregate purchase price of
$211 million, excluding $214 million in debt assumed (the "Paul Allen
Transaction"). In conjunction with the Paul Allen Transaction, Charter acquired
100% of the interest it did not already own in CharterComm Holdings, LLC
(CharterComm Holdings) and CCA Group (comprised of CCA Holdings Corp., CCT
Holdings Corp. and Charter Communications Long Beach Inc.), all cable television
operating companies, for $2.0 billion, excluding $1.8 billion in debt assumed
from unrelated third parties for fair value. Charter previously managed and
owned minority interests in these companies. These acquisitions were accounted
for using the purchase method of accounting, and accordingly results of
operations of CarterComm Holdings and CCA Group are included in the financial
statements of Charter Holdings from the date of acquisition. In February 1999,
Charter transferred all of its cable television operating subsidiaries to a
wholly owned subsidiary of Charter Communications Holdings, LLC (Charter
Holdings), Charter Communications Operating, LLC (Charter Operating). Charter
Holdings is a wholly owned subsidiary of CCHC. The transfer was accounted for as
a reorganization of entities under common control similar to a pooling of
interests.



     The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of CCP,
Charter's wholly owned cable operating subsidiary, representing the financial
statements of CCHC and subsidiaries (the Company) for all periods presented. The
accounts of CharterComm Holdings and CCA Group are not included since these
companies were not owned and controlled by Charter prior to December 23, 1998.



     As a result of the change in ownership of CCP, CharterComm Holdings and CCA
Group, the Company has applied push-down accounting in the preparation of the
consolidated financial statements effective December 23, 1998. Accordingly, the
financial statements of the Company for periods ended on or before December 23,
1998, are presented on a different cost basis than the financial statements for
the periods after December 23, 1998 (not presented herein), and are not
comparable.


CASH EQUIVALENTS

     The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original
maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 1997,
cash equivalents consist primarily of repurchase agreements. These investments
are carried at cost that approximates market value.

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

     Property, plant and equipment is recorded at cost, including all direct and
certain indirect costs associated with the construction of cable television
transmission and distribution facilities, and the cost of new customer
installations. The costs of disconnecting a customer are charged

                                      F-34

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)


to expense in the period incurred. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are
charged to expense as incurred, and equipment replacement and betterments are
capitalized.

     Depreciation is provided on the straight-line basis over the estimated
useful lives of the related assets as follows:

<TABLE>
<S>                                                             <C>
Cable distribution systems..................................    3-15 years
Buildings and leasehold improvements........................    5-15 years
Vehicles and equipment......................................     3-5 years
</TABLE>

     In 1997, the Company shortened the useful lives from 10 years to 5 years of
certain plant and equipment included in cable distribution systems associated
with costs of new customer installations. As a result, additional depreciation
of $550 was recorded during 1997. The estimated useful lives were shortened to
be more reflective of average customer lives.

FRANCHISES


     Costs incurred in obtaining and renewing cable franchises are deferred and
amortized over the lives of the franchises. Costs relating to unsuccessful
franchise applications are charged to expense when it is determined that the
efforts to obtain the franchise will not be successful. Franchise rights
acquired through the purchase of cable television systems represent management's
estimate of fair value and are generally amortized using the straight-line
method over a period of 15 years. The period of 15 years is management's best
estimate of the useful lives of the franchises and assumes substantially all of
those franchises that expire during the period will be renewed by the Company.


IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS

     If facts and circumstances suggest that a long-lived asset may be impaired,
the carrying value is reviewed. If a review indicates that the carrying value of
such asset is not recoverable based on projected undiscounted cash flows related
to the asset over its remaining life, the carrying value of such asset is
reduced to its estimated fair value.

REVENUES

     Cable television revenues from basic and premium services are recognized
when the related services are provided.

     Installation revenues are recognized to the extent of direct selling costs
incurred. The remainder, if any, is deferred and amortized to income over the
estimated average period that customers are expected to remain connected to the
cable television system. As of December 31, 1997, no installation revenue has
been deferred, as direct selling costs have exceeded installation revenue.

     Fees collected from programmers to guarantee carriage are deferred and
amortized to income over the life of the contracts. Local governmental
authorities impose franchise fees on the Company ranging up to a federally
mandated maximum of 5.0% of gross revenues. On a monthly basis, such fees are
collected from the Company's customers and are periodically remitted to local
franchises. Franchise fees collected and paid are reported as revenues.

INTEREST RATE HEDGE AGREEMENTS

     The Company manages fluctuations in interest rates by using interest rate
hedge agreements, as required by certain debt agreements. Interest rate swaps,
caps and collars are accounted for as hedges of debt obligations, and
accordingly, the net settlement amounts are recorded as adjustments to interest
expense in the period incurred. Premiums paid for interest rate caps are
deferred, included in other assets, and are amortized over the original term of
the interest rate agreement as an adjustment to interest expense.

     The Company's interest rate swap agreements require the Company to pay a
fixed rate and receive a floating rate thereby creating fixed rate debt.
Interest rate caps and collars are entered into by the Company to reduce the
impact of rising interest rates on floating rate debt.

     The Company's participation in interest rate hedging transactions involves
instruments that have a close correlation with its debt, thereby managing its
risk. Interest rate hedge agreements have been designed for hedging purposes and
are not held or issued for speculative purposes.

INCOME TAXES

     The Company files a consolidated income tax return with Charter. Income
taxes are allocated to the Company in accordance with the tax-sharing agreement
between the Company and Charter.

USE OF ESTIMATES

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

2.  ACQUISITIONS:

     In 1998, the Company acquired cable television systems for an aggregate
purchase price, net of cash acquired, of $228,400, comprising $167,500 in cash
and $60,900 in a note payable to Seller. The excess of cost of properties
acquired over the amounts assigned to net tangible assets at the date of
acquisition was $207,600 and is included in franchises.

     In 1996, the Company acquired cable television systems for an aggregate
purchase price, net of cash acquired, of $34,100. The excess of the cost of
properties acquired over 2>the amounts assigned to net tangible assets at the
date of acquisition was $24,300 and is included in franchises.

     The above acquisitions were accounted for using the purchase method of
accounting, and accordingly, results of operations of the acquired assets have
been included in the financial statements from the dates of acquisition. The
purchase prices were allocated to tangible and intangible assets based on
estimated fair values at the acquisition dates.

3.  SALE OF FT. HOOD SYSTEM:

     In February 1997, the Company sold the net assets of the Ft. Hood system,
which served customers in Texas, for an aggregate sales price of approximately
$12,500. The sale of the Ft. Hood system resulted in a loss of $1,363, which is
included in operating costs in the accompanying statement of operations for the
year ended December 31, 1997.

     For the period from January 1, 1998, through December 23, 1998, and for the
years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, depreciation expense was $6,249, $3,898
and $2,371, respectively.

</TABLE>


6.  LONG-TERM DEBT:

     The Company maintained a revolving credit agreement (the "Old Credit
Agreement") with a consortium of banks for borrowings up to $47,500, of which
$41,500 was outstanding at December 31, 1997. In 1997, the Credit Agreement was
amended to reflect the impact of the sale of a cable television system. The debt
bears interest, at the Company's option, at rates based on the prime rate of the
Bank of Montreal (the agent bank), or LIBOR, plus the applicable margin based
upon the Company's leverage ratio at the time of the borrowings. The variable
interest rates ranged from 7.44% to 7.63% at December 31, 1997.

     In May 1998, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the "CCP Credit
Agreement"), which provides for two term loan facilities, one with the principal
amount of $60,000 that matures on June 30, 2006, and the other with the
principal amount of $80,000 that matures on June 30, 2007. The CCP Credit
Agreement also provides for a $90,000 revolving credit facility with a maturity
date of June 30, 2006. Amounts under the CCP Credit Agreement bear interest at
the LIBOR Rate or Base Rate, as defined, plus a margin of up to 2.88%.

     Commencing March 31, 1999, and at the end of each quarter thereafter,
available borrowings under the revolving credit facility shall be reduced on an
annual basis by 3.5% in 1999, 7.0% in 2000, 9.0% in 2001, 10.5% in 2002 and
16.5% in 2003. Commencing March 31, 2000, and at the end of each quarter
thereafter, available borrowings under the term loan shall be reduced on an
annual basis by 6.0% in 2000, 8.0% in 2001, 11.0% in 2002 and 16.5% in 2003.
Commencing March 31, 2000, and at the end of each quarter thereafter, available
borrowings under the other term loan shall be reduced on an annual basis by 1.0%
in 2000, 1.0% in 2001, 1.0% in 2002 and 1.0% in 2003.

     The credit agreement requires the Company and/or its subsidiaries to comply
with various financial and other covenants, including the maintenance of certain
operating and financial ratios. This agreement also contains substantial
limitations on, or prohibitions of, distributions, additional indebtedness,
liens, asset sales and certain other items.


7.  NOTE PAYABLE TO RELATED PARTY:


     As of December 31, 1997, the Company holds a promissory note payable to CCT
Holdings Corp., a company managed by Charter and acquired by Charter effective
December 23, 1998. The promissory note bears interest at the rates paid by CCT
Holdings Corp. on a note payable to a third party. Principal and interest are
due on September 29, 2005.

8.  FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:

     A summary of debt and the related interest rate hedge agreements at
December 31, 1997, is as follows:

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
                                                              CARRYING    NOTIONAL     FAIR

<S>                                                           <C>         <C>         <C>

CCP Credit Agreement........................................  $41,500     $    --     $41,500
Interest Rate Hedge Agreements
Caps........................................................       --      15,000          --
Collars.....................................................       --      20,000         (74)
</TABLE>

     As the long-term debt under the credit agreements bears interest at current
market rates, its carrying amount approximates market value at December 31,
1997.

     The notional amounts of interest rate hedge agreements do not represent
amounts exchanged by the parties and, thus, are not a measure of the Company's
exposure through its use of interest rate hedge agreements. The amounts
exchanged are determined by reference to the notional amount and the other terms
of the contracts.

     The fair value of interest rate hedge agreements generally reflects the
estimated amounts that the Company would receive or pay (excluding accrued
interest) to terminate the contracts on the reporting date, thereby taking into
account the current unrealized gains or losses of open contracts. Dealer
quotations are available for the Company's interest rate hedge agreements.

     Management believes that the sellers of the interest rate hedge agreements
will be able to meet their obligations under the agreements. The Company has
policies regarding the financial stability and credit standing of major
counterparties. Nonperformance by the counterparties is not anticipated nor
would it have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position or
results of operations.

9.  INCOME TAXES:

     At December 31, 1997, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of
$9,594, which if not used to reduce taxable income in future periods, expire in
the years 2010 through 2012. As of December 31, 1997, the Company's deferred
income tax assets were offset by valuation allowances and deferred income tax
liabilities resulting primarily from differences in accounting for depreciation
and amortization.

10.  RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS:


     Charter provides management services to the Company including centralized
customer billing services, data processing and related support, benefits
administration and coordination of insurance coverage and self-insurance
programs for medical, dental and workers' compensation claims. Certain costs for
services are billed and charged directly to the Company's operating subsidiaries
and are included in operating costs. These billings are determined based on the
number of basic customers. Such costs totaled $437, $220 and $131, respectively
for the period from January 1, 1998, through December 23, 1998, and the years
ended December 31, 1997 and 1996. All other costs incurred by Charter on behalf
of the Company are expensed in the accompanying financial statements and are
included in corporate expense allocations -- related

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)



party. The cost of these services is allocated based on the number of basic
customers. Management considers these allocations to be reasonable for the
operations of the Company.



     Charter utilizes a combination of excess insurance coverage and
self-insurance programs for its medical, dental and workers' compensation
claims. Charges are made to the Company as determined by independent actuaries,
at the present value of the actuarially computed present and future liabilities
for such benefits. Medical coverage provides for $2,435 aggregate stop loss
protection and a loss limitation of $100 per person per year. Workers'
compensation coverage provides for $800 aggregate stop loss protection and a
loss limitation of $150 per person per year.


The Company is charged a management fee based on percentages of revenues as
stipulated in the management agreement between Charter and the Company. For the
period from January 1, 1998, through December 23, 1998, and the years ended
December 31, 1997 and 1996, the management fee charged to the Company
approximated the corporate expenses incurred by Charter on behalf of the
Company. Management fees currently payable of $114 are included in payables to
manager of cable television systems -- related party as of December 31, 1997.

11.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:

LEASES

     The Company leases certain facilities and equipment under noncancelable
operating leases. Leases and rental costs charged to expense for the period from
January 1, 1998, through December 23, 1998, and for the years ended December 31,
1997 and 1996, were $278, $130 and $91, respectively.

     The Company also rents utility poles in its operations. Generally, pole
rentals are cancelable on short notice, but the Company anticipates that such
rentals will recur. Rent expense incurred for pole rental attachments for the
period from January 1, 1998, through December 23, 1998, and for the years ended
December 31, 1997 and 1996, was $421, $271 and $174, respectively.

LITIGATION

     The Company is a party to lawsuits that arose in the ordinary course of
conducting its business. In the opinion of management, after consulting with
legal counsel, the outcome of these lawsuits will not have a material adverse
effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

REGULATION IN THE CABLE TELEVISION INDUSTRY

     The cable television industry is subject to extensive regulation at the
federal, local and, in some instances, state levels. The Cable Communications
Policy Act of 1984 (the "1984 Cable Act"), the Cable Television Consumer
Protection and Competition Act of 1992 (the "1992 Cable Act" and together with
the 1984 Cable Act, the "Cable Acts"), and the Telecommunications Act of 1996
(the "1996 Telecom Act"), establish a national policy to guide the development
and regulation of cable television systems. The Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) has principal responsibility for implementing the policies of
the Cable Acts. Many aspects of such regulation are currently the subject of
judicial proceedings and administrative or legislative proposals. Legislation
and regulations continue to change, and the Company cannot predict the impact of
future developments on the cable television industry.

          CHARTER COMMUNICATIONS HOLDING COMPANY, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES



           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)


     The 1992 Cable Act and the FCC's rules implementing that act generally have
increased the administrative and operational expenses of cable television
systems and have resulted in additional regulatory oversight by the FCC and
local or state franchise authorities. The Cable Acts and the corresponding FCC
regulations have established rate regulations.

     The 1992 Cable Act permits certified local franchising authorities to order
refunds of basic service tier rates paid in the previous twelve-month period
determined to be in excess of the maximum permitted rates. As of December 31,
1998, the amount refunded by the Company has been insignificant. The Company may
be required to refund additional amounts in the future.

     The Company believes that it has complied in all material respects with the
provisions of the 1992 Cable Act, including the rate setting provisions
promulgated by the FCC. However, in jurisdictions that have chosen not to
certify, refunds covering the previous twelve-month period may be ordered upon
certification if the Company is unable to justify its basic rates. The Company
is unable to estimate at this time the amount of refunds, if any, that may be
payable by the Company in the event certain of its rates are successfully
challenged by franchising authorities or found to be unreasonable by the FCC.
The Company does not believe that the amount of any such refunds would have a
material adverse effect on the financial position or results of operations of
the Company.

     The 1996 Telecom Act, among other things, immediately deregulated the rates
for certain small cable operators and in certain limited circumstances rates on
the basic service tier, and as of March 31, 1999, deregulates rates on the cable
programming service tier (CPST). The FCC is currently developing permanent
regulations to implement the rate deregulation provisions of the 1996 Telecom
Act. The Company cannot predict the ultimate effect of the 1996 Telecom Act on
the Company's financial position or results of operations.

     The FCC may further restrict the ability of cable television operators to
implement rate increases or the United States Congress may enact legislation
that could delay or suspend the scheduled March 1999 termination of CPST rate
regulation. This continued rate regulation, if adopted, could limit the rates
charged by the Company.

     A number of states subject cable television systems to the jurisdiction of
centralized state governmental agencies, some of which impose regulation of a
character similar to that of a public utility. State governmental agencies are
required to follow FCC rules when prescribing rate regulation, and thus, state
regulation of cable television rates is not allowed to be more restrictive than
the federal or local regulation. The Company is subject to state regulation in
Connecticut.

12.  EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN:

401(k) PLAN

     The Company's employees may participate in the Charter Communications, Inc.
401(k) Plan (the "401(k) Plan"). Employees that qualify for participation can
contribute up to 15% of their salary, on a before tax basis, subject to a
maximum contribution limit as determined by the Internal Revenue Service. The
Company contributes an amount equal to 50% of the first 5% of contributions by
each employee. The Company contributed $74, $29 and $22 for the period from
January 1, 1998, through December 23, 1998, and for the years ended December 31,
1997 and 1996, respectively.

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)


APPRECIATION RIGHTS PLAN

     Certain employees of Charter participate in the 1995 Charter
Communications, Inc. Appreciation Rights Plan (the "Plan"). The Plan permits
Charter to grant 1,500,000 units to certain key employees, of which 1,251,500
were outstanding at December 31, 1997. Units received by an employee vest at a
rate of 20% per year, unless otherwise provided in the participant's
Appreciation Rights Unit Agreement. The appreciation rights entitle the
participants to receive payment, upon termination or change in control of
Charter, of the excess of the unit value over the base value (defined as the
appreciation value) for each vested unit. The unit value is based on Charter's
adjusted equity, as defined in the Plan. Deferred compensation expense recorded
by Charter is based on the appreciation value since the grant date and is being
amortized over the vesting period.

     As a result of the acquisition of Charter by Paul G. Allen, the Plan was
terminated, all outstanding units became 100% vested and all amounts were paid
by Charter in 1999. The cost of this plan was allocated to the Company based on
the number of basic customers. Management considers this allocation to be
reasonable for the operations of the Company. For the period January 1, 1998,
through December 23, 1998, the Company expensed $3,800, included in corporate
expense allocation, for the cost of this plan.


13.  PARENT COMPANY ONLY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



     As a result of the limitations on and prohibitions of distributions,
substantially all of the net assets of the consolidated subsidiaries are
restricted for distribution to CCHC, the parent company. CCHC (parent company
only) financial statements are presented below.

14.  ACCOUNTING STANDARD NOT YET IMPLEMENTED:



     In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board adopted SFAS No.
133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS No.
133 establishes accounting and reporting standards requiring that every
derivative instrument (including certain derivative instruments embedded in
other contracts) be recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or
liability measured at its fair value and that changes in the derivative's fair
value be recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting
criteria are met. Special accounting for qualifying hedges allows a derivative's
gains and losses to offset related results on the hedged item in the income
statement, and requires that a company must formally document, designate and
assess the effectiveness of transactions that receive hedge accounting. SFAS No.
133 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. The Company has
not yet quantified the impacts of adopting SFAS No. 133 on its consolidated
financial statements nor has it determined the timing or method of its adoption
of SFAS No. 133. However, SFAS No. 133 could increase volatility in earnings
(loss).

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

The Members

Marcus Cable Holdings, LLC:



     We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Marcus
Cable Holdings, LLC and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1998 and 1997 and the
related consolidated statements of operations, members' equity/partners' capital
and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31,
1998. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
consolidated financial statements based on our audits.


     We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Marcus Cable
Holdings, LLC and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the results
of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year
period ended December 31, 1998, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

                  MARCUS CABLE HOLDINGS, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES


                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                             (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)

(1) ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION


     Marcus Cable Holdings, LLC ("MCHLLC"), a Delaware limited liability
company, was formed in February 1999 as parent of Marcus Cable Company, L.L.C.
("MCCLLC"), formerly Marcus Cable Company, L.P. ("MCCLP"). MCCLP was formed as a
Delaware limited partnership and was converted to a Delaware limited liability
company on June 9, 1998 (See Note 3). MCHLLC and its subsidiaries (collectively,
the "Company") derive their primary source of revenues by providing various
levels of cable television programming and services to residential and business
customers. The Company's operations are conducted through Marcus Cable Operating
Company, L.L.C. ("MCOC"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The Company
operates its cable television systems primarily in Texas, Wisconsin, Indiana,
California and Alabama.



     The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
MCHLLC, which is the predecessor of MCCLLC, and its subsidiary limited liability
companies and corporations. All significant intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.



     On April 23, 1998, Vulcan Cable, Inc. and Paul G. Allen (collectively
referred to as "Vulcan") acquired all of the outstanding limited partnership
interests and substantially all of the general partner interest in MCCLP for
cash payments of $1,392,000 ("the Vulcan Acquisition"). Under the terms of the
purchase agreement, the owner of the remaining 0.6% general partner interest in
the Company (the "Minority Interest"), which represents 100% of the voting
control of the Company, could cause Vulcan to purchase the 0.6% general partner
interest under certain conditions, or Vulcan could cause the Minority Interest
to sell its interest to Vulcan under certain conditions, at a fair value of not
less than $8,000.



     The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not reflect the
application of purchase accounting for the Vulcan Acquisition because the
Securities and Exchange Commission staff challenged such accounting treatment
since, as of December 31, 1998, Vulcan had not acquired voting control of the
Company. On March 31, 1999, Vulcan acquired voting control of the Company by its
acquisition of the Minority Interest for cash consideration.



     In connection with the Vulcan Acquisition, the Company incurred transaction
costs of approximately $119,345, comprised primarily of $90,200 of compensation
paid to employees of the Company by Vulcan in settlement of specially designated
Class B units in MCCLP ("EUnit") granted in past periods by the general partner
of MCCLP, and $24,000 of transaction fees paid to certain equity partners for
investment banking services. These transaction costs have been included in the
accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December
31, 1998.



     Effective December 23, 1998, through a series of transactions, Paul G.
Allen acquired approximately 94% of Charter Communications, Inc. ("Charter").
Beginning in October 1998, Charter managed the operations of the Company.


     In March 1999, Charter transferred all of its cable television operating
subsidiaries to a subsidiary, Charter Communications Holdings, LLC (Charter
Holdings) in connection with the issuance of Senior Notes and Senior Discount
Notes totaling $3.6 billion. These operating subsidiaries were then transferred
to Charter Communications Operating, LLC ("Charter Operating"). On April 7,
1999, the cable operations of the Company were transferred to Charter Operating
subsequent to the purchase by Paul G. Allen of the Minority Interest.


     As a result of the Vulcan Acquisition, the Company recognized severance and
stay-on bonus compensation of $16,034, which is included in Transaction and
Severance Costs in the

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)


accompanying statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 1998. As of
December 31, 1998, 35 employees and officers of the Company had been terminated
and $13,634 had been paid under severance and bonus arrangements. By March 31,
1999, an additional 50 employees will be terminated. The remaining balance of
$2,400 is to be paid by April 30, 1999 and an additional $400 in stay-on bonuses
will be recorded as compensation in 1999 as the related services are provided.


(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

  (a) CASH EQUIVALENTS


     The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original
maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 1998
and 1997, cash equivalents consist of certificates of deposit and money market
funds. These investments are carried at cost which approximates market value.


  (b) PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

     Property, plant and equipment is recorded at cost, including all direct and
certain indirect costs associated with the construction of cable television
transmission and distribution facilities, and the cost of new customer
installation. The costs of disconnecting a customer are charged to expense in
the period incurred. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to
expense as incurred and equipment replacements and betterments are capitalized.

     Depreciation is provided by the straight-line method over the estimated
useful lives of the related assets as follows:

<TABLE>
<S>                                               <C>
Cable distribution systems......................  3-10 years
Buildings and leasehold improvements............  5-15 years
Vehicles and equipment..........................   3-5 years
</TABLE>

  (c) FRANCHISES


     Costs incurred in obtaining and renewing cable franchises are deferred and
amortized over the estimated lives of the franchises. Costs relating to
unsuccessful franchise applications are charged to expense when it is determined
that the efforts to obtain the franchise will not be successful. Franchise
rights acquired through the purchase of cable television systems represent
management's estimate of fair value and are amortized using the straight-line
method over a period of 15 years. The period of 15 years is management's best
estimate of the useful lives of the franchises and assumes substantially all of
those franchises that expire during the period will be renewed by the Company.
Accumulated amortization was $317,335 and $264,600 at December 31, 1998 and
1997, respectively.


  (d) NONCOMPETITION AGREEMENTS


     Noncompetition agreements are amortized using the straight-line method over
the term of the respective agreements. Accumulated amortization was $20,267 and
$19,144 at December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.


  (e) OTHER ASSETS


     Debt issuance costs are amortized to interest expense over the term of the
related debt. Going concern value of acquired cable systems is amortized using
the straight-line method over a period up to 10 years.

                  MARCUS CABLE HOLDINGS, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES


           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

  (f) IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS

     If facts and circumstances suggest that a long-lived asset may be impaired,
the carrying value is reviewed. If a review indicates that the carrying value of
such asset is not recoverable based on projected undiscounted cash flows related
to the asset over its remaining life, the carrying value of such asset is
reduced to its estimated fair value.

  (g) REVENUES

     Cable television revenues from basic and premium services are recognized
when the related services are provided.


     Installation revenues are recognized to the extent of direct selling costs
incurred. The remainder, if any, is deferred and amortized to income over the
estimated average period that customers are expected to remain connected to the
cable television system. As of December 31, 1998 and 1997, no installation
revenue has been deferred, as direct selling costs exceeded installation
revenue.


     Management fee revenues are recognized concurrently with the recognition of
revenues by the managed cable television system, or as a specified monthly
amount as stipulated in the management agreement. Incentive management fee
revenue is recognized upon performance of specified actions as stipulated in the
management agreement.

  (h) INCOME TAXES

     Income taxes are the responsibility of the individual members and are not
provided for in the accompanying financial statements. The Company's subsidiary
corporations are subject to federal income tax but have had no operations and
therefore, no taxable income since inception.

  (i) INTEREST RATE HEDGE AGREEMENTS

     The Company manages fluctuations in interest rates by using interest rate
hedge agreements, as required by certain of its debt agreements. Interest rate
swaps and caps are accounted for as hedges of debt obligations, and accordingly,
the net settlement amounts are recorded as adjustments to interest expense in
the period incurred.

     The Company's interest rate swap agreements require the Company to pay a
fixed rate and receive a floating rate thereby creating thereby creating fixed
rate debt. Interest rate caps are entered into by the Company to reduce the
impact of rising interest rates on floating rate debt.

     The Company's participation in interest rate hedging transactions involves
instruments that have a close correlation with its debt, thereby managing its
risk. Interest rate hedge agreements have been designed for hedging purposes and
are not held or issued for speculative purposes.

  (j) USE OF ESTIMATES

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

  (k) ACCOUNTING STANDARD NOT IMPLEMENTED


     In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Boards adopted Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, Accounting for Derivative
Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS No. 133 establishes
accounting and reporting standards requiring that every derivative instrument
(including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts) be
recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its
fair value and that changes in the derivative's fair value be recognized
currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. Special
accounting for qualifying hedges allows a derivative's gains and losses to
offset related results on the hedged item in the income statement, and requires
that a company must formally document, designate and assess the effectiveness of
transactions that receive hedge accounting. SFAS No. 133, as amended by SFAS No.
137, is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. The Company
has not yet quantified the impacts of adopting SFAS No. 133 on its consolidated
financial statements nor has it determined the timing or method of its adoption
of SFAS No. 133. However, SFAS No. 133 could increase volatility of earnings
(loss).


(3) CAPITAL STRUCTURE

  PARTNERS' CAPITAL

  (a) CLASSES OF PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS

     The MCCLP partnership agreement (the "Partnership Agreement") provided for
Class B Units and Convertible Preference Units. Class B Units consisted of
General Partner Units ("GP Units") and Limited Partner Units ("LP Units"). To
the extent that GP Units had the right to vote, GP Units voted as Class B Units
together with Class B LP Units. Voting rights of Class B LP Units were limited
to items specified under the Partnership Agreement. Prior to the dissolution of
the Partnership on June 9, 1998, there were 18,848.19 GP Units and 294,937.67
Class B LP Units outstanding.

     The Partnership Agreement also provided for the issuance of a class of
Convertible Preference Units. These units were entitled to a general
distribution preference over the Class B LP Units and were convertible into
Class B LP Units. The Convertible Preference Units could vote together with
Class B Units as a single class, and the voting percentage of each Convertible
Preference Unit, at a given time, was based on the number of Class B LP Units
into which such Convertible Preference Unit is then convertible. MCCLP had
issued 7,500 Convertible Preference Units with a distribution preference and
conversion price of two thousand dollars per unit.


     The Partnership Agreement permitted the General Partner, at its sole
discretion, to issue up to 31,517 Employee Units (classified as Class B Units)
to key individuals providing services to the Company. Employee Units were not
entitled to distributions until such time as all units have received certain
distributions as calculated under provisions of the Partnership Agreement
("subordinated thresholds"). At December 31, 1997 28,033.20 Employee Units were
outstanding with a subordinated threshold ranging from $1,600 to $1,750 per unit
(per unit amounts in whole numbers). In connection with the Vulcan Acquisition,
the amount paid to EUnit holders of $90,200 was recognized as Transaction and
Severance Costs in the year ended December 31, 1998.

  (b) ALLOCATION OF INCOME AND LOSS TO PARTNERS

     MCCLP incurred losses from inception. Losses were allocated as follows:

     (1) First, among the partners whose capital accounts exceed their
unreturned capital contributions in proportion to such excesses until each such
partner's capital account equals its unreturned capital contribution; and

     (2) Next, to the holders of Class B Units in accordance with their
unreturned capital contribution percentages.

     The General Partner was allocated a minimum of 0.2% to 1% of income or loss
at all times, depending on the level of capital contributions made by the
partners.

  MEMBERS' EQUITY


     Upon completion of the Vulcan Acquisition, Vulcan collectively owned 99.4%
of MCCLP through direct ownership of all LP Units and through 80% ownership of
Marcus Cable Properties, Inc. ("MCPI"), the general partner of Marcus Cable
Properties, L.P. ("MCPLP"), the general partner of MCCLP. The Minority Interest
owned the voting common stock, or the remaining 20% of MCPI. In July 1998,
Vulcan contributed $20,000 in cash to the Company relating to certain employee
severance arrangements.



     On June 9, 1998, MCCLP was converted into a Delaware limited liability
company with two members: Vulcan Cable, Inc., with 96.2% ownership, and Marcus
Cable Properties, L.L.C. ("MCPLLC") (formerly MCPLP), with 3.8% ownership.
Vulcan Cable, Inc. owns approximately 25.6% and MCPI owns approximately 74.4% of
MCPLLC, with Vulcan's interest in MCPI unchanged. As there was no change in
ownership interests, the historical partners' capital balances at June 9, 1998
were transferred to and became the initial equity of MCCLLC, and thus the
accompanying statement of members' equity has been presented as if the
conversion of MCCLP into MCCLLC occurred on April 23, 1998, the date of the
Vulcan Acquisition (see Note 1).



     As of December 31, 1998, MCCLLC has 100 issued and outstanding membership
units. Income and losses of MCCLLC are allocated to the members in accordance
with their ownership interests. Members are not personally liable for
obligations of MCCLLC.


(4) ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS

     In 1998, the Company acquired cable television systems in the Birmingham,
Alabama area for a purchase price of $57,500. The excess of the cost of
properties acquired over the amounts assigned to net tangible assets and
noncompetition agreements as of the date of acquisition was approximately
$44,603 and is included in franchises.


     Additionally, in 1998, the Company completed the sale of certain cable
television systems for an aggregate net sales price of $401,432, resulting in a
total gain of $201,278.


     In 1997, the Company acquired cable television systems in the Dallas-Ft.
Worth, Texas area for a purchase price of $35,263. The excess of the cost of
properties acquired over the amounts assigned to net tangible assets as of the
date of acquisition was $15,098 and is included in franchises.

     Additionally, in July 1997, the Company completed an exchange of cable
television systems in Indiana and Wisconsin. According to the terms of the trade
agreement, in addition to the contribution of its systems, the Company paid
$18,549.

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

     In 1996, the Company acquired cable television systems in three separate
transactions for an aggregate purchase price of $10,272. The excess of the cost
of properties acquired over the amounts assigned to net tangible assets as of
the date of acquisition was $4,861 and is included in franchises.

     Additionally, in 1996, the Company completed the sale of cable television
systems in Washington, D.C. for a sale price of $20,638. The sale resulted in a
gain of $6,442.


     The above acquisitions were accounted for using the purchase method of
accounting and, accordingly, results of operations of the acquired assets have
been included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements from the
dates of acquisition. The purchase prices were allocated to tangible and
intangible assets based on estimated fair market values at the dates of
acquisition. The cable system trade discussed above was accounted for as a
nonmonetary exchange and, accordingly, the additional cash contribution was
allocated to tangible and intangible assets based on recorded amounts of the
nonmonetary assets relinquished.



     Unaudited pro forma operating results as though 1998 and 1997 acquisitions
and divestitures discussed above had occurred on January 1, 1997, with
adjustments to give effect to amortization of franchises, interest expense and
certain other adjustments are as follows for the years ended December 31, 1998
and 1997:

     The Company, through MCOC, maintains a senior credit facility ("Senior
Credit Facility"), which provides for two term loan facilities, one with a
principal amount of $490,000 that matures on December 31, 2002 ("Tranche A") and
the other with a principal amount of $300,000 million that matures on April 30,
2004 ("Tranche B"). The Senior Credit Facility provides for scheduled
amortization of the two term loan facilities which began in September 1997. The
Senior Credit Facility also provides for a $360,000 revolving credit facility
("Revolving Credit Facility"), with a maturity date of December 31, 2002.
Amounts outstanding under the Senior Credit Facility bear interest at either
the: i) Eurodollar rate, ii) prime rate, or iii) CD base rate or Federal Funds
rate, plus a margin of up to 2.25%, which is subject to certain quarterly
adjustments based on the ratio of MCOC's total debt to annualized operating cash
flow, as defined. The variable interest rates ranged from 6.23% to 7.75% and
5.97% to 8.00% at December 23, 1998, and December 31, 1997, respectively. A
quarterly commitment fee ranging from 0.250% to 0.375% per annum is payable on
the unused commitment under the Senior Credit Facility.

     On October 16, 1998, the Company entered into an agreement to amend its
Senior Credit Facility. The amendment provides for, among other items, a
reduction in the permitted leverage and cash flow ratios, a reduction in the
interest rate charge under the Senior Credit Facility and a change in the
restriction related to the use of cash proceeds from asset sales to allow such
proceeds to be used to redeem the 11 7/8% Senior Debentures.


     In 1995, the Company issued $299,228 of 14 1/4% Senior Discount Notes due
December 15, 2005 (the "14 1/4% Notes") for net proceeds of $150,003. The
14 1/4% Notes are unsecured and rank pari passu to the 11 7/8% Debentures
(defined below). The 14 1/4% Notes are redeemable at the option of MCHLLC at
amounts decreasing from 107% to 100% of par beginning on June 15, 2000. No
interest is payable until December 15, 2000. Thereafter interest is payable

annually until maturity. The discount on the 14 1/4% Notes is being accreted
using the effective interest method. The unamortized discount was $85,856 at
December 31, 1997.


     In 1994, the Company, through MCOC, issued $413,461 face amount of 13 1/2%
Senior Subordinated Discount Notes due August 1, 2004 (the "13 1/2% Notes") for
net proceeds of $215,000. The 13 1/2% Notes are unsecured, are guaranteed by
MCHLLC and are redeemable, at the option of MCOC, at amounts decreasing from
105% to 100% of par beginning on August 1, 1999. No interest is payable on the
13 1/2% Notes until February 1, 2000. Thereafter, interest is payable
semi-annually until maturity. The discount on the 13 1/2% Notes is being
accreted using the effective interest method. The unamortized discount was
$77,157 at December 31, 1997.


     In 1993, the Company issued $100,000 principal amount of 11 7/8% Senior
Debentures due October 1, 2005 (the "11 7/8% Debentures"). The 11 7/8%
Debentures were unsecured and were redeemable at the option of the Company on or
after October 1, 1998 at amounts decreasing from 105.9% to 100% of par at
October 1, 2002, plus accrued interest, to the date of redemption. Interest on
the 11 7/8% Debentures was payable semi-annually each April 1 and October 1
until maturity.


     On July 1, 1998, $4,500 face amount of the 14 1/4% Notes and $500 face
amount of the 11 7/8% Notes were tendered for gross tender payments of $3,472
and $520 respectively. The payments resulted in a gain on the retirement of the
debt of $753. On December 11, 1998, the 11 7/8% Notes were redeemed for a gross
payment of $107,668, including accrued interest. The redemption resulted in a
loss on the retirement of the debt of $9,059.


     The 14 1/4% Notes, 13 1/2% Notes, 11 7/8% Debentures and Senior Credit
Facility are all unsecured and require the Company and/or its subsidiaries to
comply with various financial and other covenants, including the maintenance of
certain operating and financial ratios. These debt instruments also contain
substantial limitations on, or prohibitions of, distributions, additional
indebtedness, liens, asset sales and certain other items.

11 7/8% Debentures.............................        --         --    100,000    108,500
</TABLE>



     The carrying amount of the Senior Credit Facility approximates fair value
as the outstanding borrowings bear interest at market rates. The fair values of
the 14 1/4% Notes, 13 1/2% Notes, and 11 7/8% Debentures, are based on quoted
market prices. The Company had interest rate swap agreements covering a notional
amount of $500,000 at December 31, 1998 and 1997. The fair value of such swap
agreements was ($5,761) at December 31, 1998.



     The weighted average interest pay rate for the interest rate swap
agreements was 5.7% at December 31, 1998, and 1997. Certain of these agreements
allow for optional extension by the counterparty or for automatic extension in
the event that one month LIBOR exceeds a stipulated rate on any monthly reset
date. Approximately $100,000 notional amount included in the $500,000

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

notional amount described above is also modified by an interest rate cap
agreement which resets monthly.

     The notional amounts of the interest rate hedge agreements do not represent
amounts exchanged by the parties and, thus, are not a measure of the Company's
exposure through its use of interest rate hedge agreements. The amounts
exchanged are determined by reference to the notional amount and the other terms
of the contracts.

     The fair values of the interest rate hedge agreements generally reflect the
estimated amounts that the Company would receive or (pay) (excluding accrued
interest) to terminate the contracts on the reporting date, thereby taking into
account the current unrealized gains or losses of open contracts. Dealer
quotations are available for the Company's interest rate hedge agreements.

     Management believes that the sellers of the interest rate hedge agreements
will be able to meet their obligations under the agreements. In addition, some
of the interest rate hedge agreements are with certain of the participating
banks under the Company's Senior Credit Facility thereby reducing the exposure
to credit loss. The Company has policies regarding the financial stability and
credit standing of the major counterparties. Nonperformance by the
counterparties is not anticipated nor would it have a material adverse effect on
the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.

(10) RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS


     The Company and Charter entered into a management agreement on October 6,
1998 whereby Charter began to manage the day-to-day operations of the Company.
In consideration for the management consulting services provided by Charter,
Marcus pays Charter an annual fee equal to 3% of the gross revenues of the cable
system operations, plus expenses. From October 6, 1998 to December 31, 1998,
management fees under this agreement were $3,341.


     Prior to the consummation of the Vulcan Acquisition, affiliates of Goldman
Sachs owned limited partnership interests in MCCLP. Maryland Cable Partners,
L.P. ("Maryland Cable"), which was controlled by an affiliate of Goldman Sachs,
owned the Maryland Cable systems. MCOC managed the Maryland Cable systems under
the Maryland Cable Agreement. Pursuant to such agreement, MCOC earned a
management fee equal to 4.7% of the revenues of Maryland Cable.


     Effective January 31, 1997, Maryland Cable was sold to a third party.
Pursuant to the Maryland Cable Agreement, MCOC recognized incentive management
fees of $5,069 during the twelve months ended December 31, 1997 in conjunction
with the sale. Although MCOC is no longer involved in the active management of
the Maryland Cable systems, MCOC has entered into an agreement with Maryland
Cable to oversee the activities, if any, of Maryland Cable through the
liquidation of the partnership. Pursuant to such agreement, MCOC earns a nominal
monthly fee. During the year ended December 31, 1998, MCOC earned total
management fees of $555. Including the incentive management fees noted above,
during the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, MCOC earned total management
fees of $5,614 and $2,335, respectively.


(11) EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN

     The Company sponsors a 401(k) plan for its employees whereby employees that
qualify for participation under the plan can contribute up to 15% of their
salary, on a before tax basis, subject to a maximum contribution limit as

the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, the Company made contributions
to the plan of $765, $761 and $480, respectively.


(12) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

  LEASES


     The Company leases certain facilities and equipment under noncancelable
operating leases. Lease and rental costs charged to expense for the years ended
December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996 were $3,394, $3,230, and $2,767, respectively.
The Company also rents utility poles in its operations. Generally, pole rentals
are cancelable on short notice, but the Company anticipates that such rentals
will recur. Rent expense for pole attachments for the years ended December 31,
1998, 1997 and 1996 were $4,081, $4,314, and $4,008, respectively.


  REGULATION IN THE CABLE TELEVISION INDUSTRY

     The cable television industry is subject to extensive regulation at the
federal, local and, in some instances, state levels. The Cable Communications
Policy Act of 1984 (the "1984 Cable Act"), the Cable Television Consumer
Protection and Competition Act of 1992 (the "1992 Cable Act" and together with
the 1984 Cable Act, the "Cable Acts"), and the Telecommunications Act of 1996
(the "1996 Telecom Act"), establish a national policy to guide the development
and regulation of cable television systems. The Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) has principal responsibility for implementing the policies of
the Cable Acts. Many aspects of such regulation are currently the subject of
judicial proceedings and administrative or legislative proposals. Legislation
and regulations continue to change, and the Company cannot predict the impact of
future developments on the cable television industry.

     The 1992 Cable Act and the FCC's rules implementing that act generally have
increased the administrative and operational expenses of cable television
systems and have resulted in additional regulatory oversight by the FCC and
local or state franchise authorities. The Cable Acts and the corresponding FCC
regulations have established rate regulations.

     The 1992 Cable Act permits certified local franchising authorities to order
refunds of basic service tier rates paid in the previous twelve-month period
determined to be in excess of the maximum permitted rates. As of December 23,
1998, the amount returned by the Company has been insignificant. The Company may
be required to refund additional amounts in the future.

     The Company believes that it has complied in all material respects with the
provisions of the 1992 Cable Act, including the rate setting provisions
promulgated by the FCC. However, in jurisdictions that have chosen not to
certify, refunds covering the previous twelve-month period may be ordered upon
certification if the Company is unable to justify its basic rates. The Company
is unable to estimate at this time the amount of refunds, if any, that may be
payable by the Company in the event certain of its rates are successfully
challenged by franchising authorities or found to be unreasonable by the FCC.
The Company does not believe that the amount of any such refunds would have a
material adverse effect on the financial position or results of operations of
the Company.

     The 1996 Telecom Act, among other things, immediately deregulated the rates
for certain small cable operators and in certain limited circumstances rates on
the basic service tier, and as of March 31, 1999, deregulates rates on the cable
programming service tier (CPST). The FCC is currently developing permanent
regulations to implement the rate deregulation provisions of the 1996 Telecom
Act. The Company cannot predict the ultimate effect of the 1996 Telecom Act on
the Company's financial position or results of operations.

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

     The FCC may further restrict the ability of cable television operators to
implement rate increases or the United States Congress may enact legislation
that could delay or suspend the scheduled March 1999 termination of CPST rate
regulation. This continued rate regulation, if adopted, could limit the rates
charged by the Company.

     A number of states subject cable television systems to the jurisdiction of
centralized state governmental agencies, some of which impose regulation of a
character similar to that of a public utility. State governmental agencies are
required to follow FCC rules when prescribing rate regulation, and thus, state
regulation of cable television rates is not allowed to be more restrictive than
the federal or local regulation.

  LITIGATION

     In Alabama, Indiana, Texas and Wisconsin, customers have filed punitive
class action lawsuits on behalf of all person residing in those respective
states who are or were potential customers of the Company's cable television
service, and who have been charged a processing fee for delinquent payment of
their cable bill. The actions challenge the legality of the processing fee and
seek declaratory judgment, injunctive relief and unspecified damages. In Alabama
and Wisconsin, the Company has entered into joint speculation and case
management orders with attorneys for plaintiffs. A Motion to Dismiss is pending
in Indiana. The Company intends to vigorously defend the actions. At this stage
of the actions, the Company is not able to project the expenses of defending the
actions or the potential outcome of the actions, including the impact on the
consolidated financial position or results of operations.

     The Company is also party to lawsuits which are generally incidental to its
business. In the opinion of management, after consulting with legal counsel, the
outcome of these lawsuits will not have a material adverse effect on the
Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.

(13) SUBSEQUENT EVENT (UNAUDITED)

     In March 1999, concurrent with the issuance of Senior Notes and Senior
Discount Notes, the combined company (Charter and the Company, see note 1)
extinguished all long-term debt, excluding borrowings of Charter and the Company
under their respective credit agreements, and refinanced all existing credit
agreements at various subsidiaries of the Company and Charter with a new credit
agreement entered into by a wholly owned subsidiary of the combined company.

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To CCA Group:

     We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheet of CCA Holdings
Corp., CCT Holdings Corp. and Charter Communications Long Beach, Inc.
(collectively CCA Group) and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1997, and the
related combined statements of operations, shareholders' deficit and cash flows
for the period from January 1, 1998, through December 23, 1998, and for the
years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996. These combined financial statements are
the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

     We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. 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 combined financial position of CCA Group and
subsidiaries as of December 31, 1997, and the combined results of their
operations and their cash flows for the period from January 1, 1998, through
December 23, 1998, and for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                     NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                  (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE AMOUNTS)

1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

  ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     CCA Group consists of CCA Holdings Corp. (CCA Holdings), CCT Holdings Corp.
(CCT Holdings) and Charter Communications Long Beach, Inc. (CC-LB), all Delaware
corporations (collectively referred to as "CCA Group" or the "Company") and
their subsidiaries. The combined financial statements of each of these companies
have been combined by virtue of their common ownership and management. All
material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

     CCA Holdings commenced operations in January 1995 in connection with
consummation of the Crown Transaction (as defined below). The accompanying
financial statements include the accounts of CCA Holdings; its wholly-owned
subsidiary, CCA Acquisition Corp. (CAC); CAC's wholly-owned subsidiary, Cencom
Cable Entertainment, Inc. (CCE); and Charter Communications Entertainment I,
L.P. (CCE-I), which is controlled by CAC through its general partnership
interest. Through December 23, 1998, CCA Holdings was approximately 85% owned by
Kelso Investment Associates V, L.P., an investment fund, together with an
affiliate (collectively referred to as "Kelso" herein) and certain other
individuals and approximately 15% by Charter Communications, Inc. (Charter),
manager of CCE-I's cable television systems.

     CCT Holdings was formed on January 6, 1995. CCT Holdings commenced
operations in September 1995 in connection with consummation of the Gaylord
Transaction (as defined below). The accompanying financial statements include
the accounts of CCT Holdings and Charter Communications Entertainment II, L.P.
(CCE-II), which is controlled by CCT Holdings through its general partnership
interest. Through December 23, 1998, CCT Holdings was owned approximately 85% by
Kelso and certain other individuals and approximately 15% by Charter, manager of
CCE-II's cable television systems.

     In January 1995, CAC completed the acquisition of certain cable television
systems from Crown Media, Inc. (Crown), a subsidiary of Hallmark Cards,
Incorporated (Hallmark) (the "Crown Transaction"). On September 29, 1995, CAC
and CCT Holdings entered into an Asset Exchange Agreement whereby CAC exchanged
a 1% undivided interest in all of its assets for a 1.22% undivided interest in
certain assets to be acquired by CCT Holdings from an affiliate of Gaylord
Entertainment Company, Inc. (Gaylord). Effective September 30, 1995, CCT
Holdings acquired certain cable television systems from Gaylord (the "Gaylord
Transaction"). Upon execution of the Asset Purchase Agreement, CAC and CCT
Holdings entered into a series of agreements to contribute the assets acquired
under the Crown Transaction to CCE-I and certain assets acquired in the Gaylord
acquisition to CCE-II. Collectively, CCA Holdings and CCT Holdings own 100% of
CCE-I and CCE-II.

     CC-LB was acquired by Kelso and Charter in May 1997. The accompanying
financial statements include the accounts of CC-LB and its wholly owned
subsidiary, Long Beach Acquisition Corp. (LBAC) from the date of acquisition.
Through December 23, 1998, CC-LB was owned approximately 85% by Kelso and
certain other individuals and approximately 15% by Charter, manager of LBAC's
cable television systems.

     Effective December 23, 1998, Paul G. Allen acquired 94% of Charter through
a series of transactions. In conjunction with Mr. Allen's acquisition, Charter
acquired 100% of the outstanding stock of CCA Holdings, CCT Holdings and CC-LB
on December 23, 1998.

                                   CCA GROUP

             NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

     In 1998, CCE-I provided cable television service to customers in
Connecticut, Illinois, Massachusetts, Missouri and New Hampshire, CCE-II
provided cable television service to customers in California and LBAC provided
cable television service to customers in Long Beach, California, and certain
surrounding areas.

  CASH EQUIVALENTS

     The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original
maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 1997,
cash equivalents consist primarily of repurchase agreements. These investments
are carried at cost that approximates market value.

  PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

     Property, plant and equipment is recorded at cost, including all direct and
certain indirect costs associated with the construction of cable television
transmission and distribution facilities, and the cost of new customer
installation. The costs of disconnecting a residence are charged to expense in
the period incurred. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to
expense as incurred, and equipment replacement costs and betterments are
capitalized.

     Depreciation is provided on the straight-line basis over the estimated
useful lives of the related assets as follows:

<TABLE>
<S>                                                             <C>
Cable distribution systems..................................    3-15 years
Buildings and leasehold improvements........................    5-15 years
Vehicles and equipment......................................     3-5 years
</TABLE>

In 1997, the Company shortened the estimated useful lives of certain property,
plant and equipment for depreciation purposes. As a result, additional
depreciation of $8,123 was recorded during 1997.

  FRANCHISES

     Costs incurred in obtaining and renewing cable franchises are deferred and
amortized over the lives of the franchises. Costs relating to unsuccessful
franchise applications are charged to expense when it is determined that the
efforts to obtain the franchise will not be successful. Franchise rights
acquired through the purchase of cable television systems represent management's
estimate of fair value and are amortized using the straight-line method over 15
years.

  OTHER ASSETS

     Debt issuance costs are amortized to interest expense over the term of the
related debt. The interest rate cap costs are being amortized over the terms of
the agreement, which approximates three years.

  INCOME TAXES


     Income taxes are recorded in accordance with SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for
Income Taxes."


  USE OF ESTIMATES

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported

                                      F-66

amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.

2.  ACQUISITIONS:

     In 1997, CC-LB acquired the stock of LBAC for an aggregate purchase price,
net of cash acquired, of $147,200. In connection with the completion of this
acquisition, LBAC recorded $55,900 of deferred income tax liabilities resulting
from differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of certain assets
acquired. The excess of the cost of properties acquired over the amounts
assigned to net tangible assets at the date of acquisition was $190,200 and is
included in franchises.

     In 1996, the Company acquired cable television systems in three separate
transactions for an aggregate purchase price, net of cash acquired, of $122,000.
The excess of the cost of properties acquired over the amounts assigned to net
tangible assets at the dates of acquisition was $100,200 and is included in
franchises.

     The above acquisitions were accounted for using the purchase method of
accounting, and accordingly, results of operations of the acquired assets have
been included in the financial statements from the dates of the acquisitions.

     Unaudited pro forma operating results for the 1997 acquisitions as though
the acquisitions had been made on January 1, 1997, with pro forma adjustments to
give effect to amortization of franchises, interest expense and certain other
adjustments as follows:

3.  RECEIVABLE FROM RELATED PARTY:

     In connection with the transfer of certain assets acquired in the Gaylord
Transaction to Charter Communications Properties, Inc. (CCP), Charter
Communications Properties Holding Corp. (CCP Holdings), the parent of CCP and a
wholly owned subsidiary of Charter, entered into a $9,447 promissory note with
CCT Holdings. The promissory note bears interest at the rates paid by CCT
Holdings on the Gaylord Seller Note. Principal and interest are due on September
29, 2005. Interest income has been accrued based on an average rate of interest
over the life of the Gaylord Seller Note, which approximates 15.4% and totaled
$1,899 for the period from January 1, 1998, through December 23, 1998, and
$1,806 and $1,547 for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
As of December 31, 1997, interest receivable totaled $3,643.

Collars.................................................        --     190,000        (437)
</TABLE>

     As the long-term debt under the credit agreements bear interest at current
market rates, their carrying amount approximates fair market value at December
31, 1997. Fair value of the HC Crown Note is based upon trading activity at
December 31, 1997. Fair value of the Gaylord Seller Note is based on current
redemption value.

     The weighted average interest pay rate for the Company's interest rate swap
agreements was 7.82% at December 31, 1997. The weighted average interest rate
for the Company's interest rate cap agreements was 8.49% at December 31, 1997.
The weighted average interest rates for the Company's interest rate collar
agreements were 9.04% and 7.57% for the cap and floor components, respectively,
at December 31, 1997.

     The notional amounts of interest rate hedge agreements do not represent
amounts exchanged by the parties and, thus, are not a measure of the Company's
exposure through its use of interest rate hedge agreements. The amounts
exchanged are determined by reference to the notional amount and the other terms
of the contracts.

             NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

     The fair value of interest rate hedge agreements generally reflects the
estimated amounts that the Company would receive or pay (excluding accrued
interest) to terminate the contracts on the reporting date, thereby taking into
account the current unrealized gains or losses of open contracts. Dealer
quotations are available for the Company's interest rate hedge agreements.

     Management believes that the sellers of the interest rate hedge agreements
will be able to meet their obligations under the agreements. In addition, some
of the interest rate hedge agreements are with certain of the participating
banks under the Company's Senior Credit Facility thereby reducing the exposure
to credit loss. The Company has policies regarding the financial stability and
credit standing of major counterparties. Nonperformance by the counterparties is
not anticipated nor would it have a material adverse effect on the results of
operations or the financial position of the Company.

     Charter provides management services to the Company under the terms of a
contract which provides for annual base fees equal to $9,277 and $9,485 for the
period from January 1, 1998, through December 23, 1998, and for the year ended
December 31, 1997, respectively, plus an additional fee equal to 30% of the
excess, if any, of operating cash flow (as defined in the management agreement)
over the projected operating cash flow. Payment of the additional fee is
deferred due to restrictions provided within the Company's credit agreements.
Deferred management fees bear interest at 8.0% per annum. The additional fees
for the periods from January 1, 1998, through December 23, 1998, and the years
ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, totaled $2,160, $1,990 and $1,255,
respectively. In addition, the Company receives financial advisory services from
an affiliate of Kelso, under terms of a contract which provides for fees equal
to $1,064 and $1,113 per annum as of January 1, 1998, through December 23, 1998,
and December 31, 1997, respectively. Management and financial advisory service
fees currently payable of $2,281 are included in payables to manager of cable
television systems -- related party at December 31, 1997.

     The Company pays certain acquisition advisory fees to an affiliate of Kelso
and Charter, which typically equal approximately 1% of the total purchase price
paid for cable television systems acquired. Total acquisition fees paid to the
affiliate of Kelso for the period from January 1, 1998, through December 23,
1998, were $-0-. Total acquisition fees paid to the affiliate of Kelso in 1997

aggregate stop loss protection and a loss limitation of $100 per person per
year. Workers' compensation coverage provides for $800 aggregate stop loss
protection and a loss limitation of $150 per person per year. Charges are
determined by independent actuaries at the present value of the actuarially
computed present and future liabilities for such benefits. The Company is
allocated its share of the charges monthly based upon its total number of
employees, historical claims and medical cost trend rates. Management considers
this allocation to be reasonable for the operations of the Company. For the

from January 1, 1998, through December 23, 1998, was $2,430. Rent expense
incurred for pole attachments during 1997 and 1996 was $2,601 and $2,330,
respectively.

  LITIGATION

     The Company is a party to lawsuits that arose in the ordinary course of
conducting its business. In the opinion of management, after consulting with
legal counsel, the outcome of these lawsuits will not have a material adverse
effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of
operations.

13.  REGULATION IN THE CABLE TELEVISION INDUSTRY:

     The cable television industry is subject to extensive regulation at the
federal, local and, in some instances, state levels. The Cable Communications
Policy Act of 1984 (the "1984 Cable Act"), the Cable Television Consumer
Protection and Competition Act of 1992 (the "1992 Cable Act" and together with
the 1984 Cable Act, the "Cable Acts"), and the Telecommunications Act of 1996
(the "1996 Telecom Act"), establish a national policy to guide the development
and regulation of cable television systems. The Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) has principal responsibility for implementing the policies of
the Cable Acts. Many aspects of such regulation are currently the subject of
judicial proceedings and administrative or legislative proposals. Legislation
and regulations continue to change, and the Company cannot predict the impact of
future developments on the cable television industry.

     The 1992 Cable Act and the FCC's rules implementing that act generally have
increased the administrative and operational expenses of cable television
systems and have resulted in

                                      F-75

                                   CCA GROUP

             NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

additional regulatory oversight by the FCC and local or state franchise
authorities. The Cable Acts and the corresponding FCC regulations have
established rate regulations.

     The 1992 Cable Act permits certified local franchising authorities to order
refunds of basic service tier rates paid in the previous twelve-month period
determined to be in excess of the maximum permitted rates. As of December 23,
1998, the amount refunded by the Company has been insignificant. The Company may
be required to refund additional amounts in the future.

     The Company believes that it has complied in all material respects with the
provisions of the 1992 Cable Act, including the rate setting provisions
promulgated by the FCC. However, in jurisdictions that have chosen not to
certify, refunds covering the previous twelve-month period may be ordered upon
certification if the Company is unable to justify its basic rates. The Company
is unable to estimate at this time the amount of refunds, if any, that may be
payable by the Company in the event certain of its rates are successfully
challenged by franchising authorities or found to be unreasonable by the FCC.
The Company does not believe that the amount of any such refunds would have a
material adverse effect on the financial position or results of operations of
the Company.

     The 1996 Telecom Act, among other things, immediately deregulated the rates
for certain small cable operators and in certain limited circumstances rates on
the basic service tier, and as of March 31, 1999, deregulates rates on the cable
programming service tier (CPST). The FCC is currently developing permanent
regulations to implement the rate deregulation provisions of the 1996 Telecom
Act. The Company cannot predict the ultimate effect of the 1996 Telecom Act on
the Company's financial position or results of operations.

     The FCC may further restrict the ability of cable television operators to
implement rate increases or the United States Congress may enact legislation
that could delay or suspend the scheduled March 1999 termination of CPST rate
regulation. This continued rate regulation, if adopted, could limit the rates
charged by the Company.

     A number of states subject cable television systems to the jurisdiction of
centralized state governmental agencies, some of which impose regulation of a
character similar to that of a public utility. State governmental agencies are
required to follow FCC rules when prescribing rate regulation, and thus, state
regulation of cable television rates is not allowed to be more restrictive than
the federal or local regulation. The Company is subject to state regulation in
Connecticut.

14.  INCOME TAXES:

     Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future
tax consequence attributable to differences between the financial statement
carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax
bases. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted
tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are
expected to be recovered or settled. Deferred income tax expense or benefit is
the result of changes in the liability or asset recorded for deferred taxes. A
valuation allowance must be established for any portion of a deferred tax asset
for which it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will not be realized.

     For the period from January 1, 1998, through December 23, 1998, and the
years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, no current provision (benefit) for
income taxes was recorded. The effective income tax rate is less than the
federal rate of 35% primarily due to providing a valuation allowance on deferred
income tax assets.

     At December 31, 1997, the Company had net operating loss (NOL)
carryforwards for regular income tax purposes aggregating $204,400, which expire
in various years from 1999 through 2012. Utilization of the NOLs carryforwards
is subject to certain limitations.

15.  EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS:

     The Company's employees may participate in the Charter Communications, Inc.
401(k) Plan (the "401(k) Plan"). Employees that qualify for participation can
contribute up to 15% of their salary, on a before tax basis, subject to a
maximum contribution limit as determined by the Internal Revenue Service. The
Company contributes an amount equal to 50% of the first 5% of contributions by
each employee. For the period from January 1, 1998, through December 23, 1998,
the Company contributed $585 to the 401(k) plan. During 1997 and 1996, the
Company contributed approximately $499 and $435 to the 401(k) Plan,
respectively.

     Certain employees of the Company are participants in the 1996 Charter
Communications/ Kelso Group Appreciation Rights Plan (the "Plan"). The Plan
covers certain key employees and consultants within the group of companies and
partnerships controlled by affiliates of Kelso and managed by Charter. The Plan
permits the granting of up to 1,000,000 units, of which 705,000 were outstanding
at December 31, 1997. Unless otherwise provided in a particular instance, units
vest at a rate of 20% per annum. The Plan entitles participants to receive
payment of the appreciated unit value for vested units, upon the occurrence of
certain events specified in the Plan (i.e. change in control, employee
termination) The units do not represent a right to an equity interest to any
entities within the CCA Group. Compensation expense is based on the appreciated
unit value and is amortized over the vesting period.

     As a result of the acquisition of Charter and the Company, the Plan was
terminated, all outstanding units became 100% vested and all amounts were paid
by Charter in 1999. For the period from January 1, 1998, through December 23,
1998, the Company recorded $5,684 of expense, included in management fees, and a
contribution from Charter related to the Appreciation Rights Plan.

16.  ACCOUNTING STANDARD NOT YET IMPLEMENTED:


     In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board adopted SFAS No.
133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS No.
133 establishes accounting and reporting standards requiring that every
derivative instrument (including certain derivative instruments embedded in
other contracts) be recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or
liability measured at its fair value and that changes in the derivative's fair
value be recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting
criteria are met. Special accounting for qualifying hedges allows a derivative's
gains and losses to offset related results on the hedged item in the income
statement, and requires that a company must formally document, designate and
assess the effectiveness of transactions that receive hedge accounting. SFAS No.
133 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. The Company has
not yet quantified the impacts of adopting SFAS No. 133 on its consolidated
financial statements nor has it determined the timing or method of its adoption
of SFAS No. 133. However, SFAS No. 133 could increase volatility in earnings
(loss).


17.  SUBSEQUENT EVENT:

     Subsequent to December 23, 1998, CCA Holdings, CCT Holdings and CC-LB
converted to limited liability companies and are now known as CCA Holdings LLC,
CCT Holdings LLC and Charter Communications Long Beach, LLC, respectively.

To CharterComm Holdings, L.P.:

     We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of CharterComm
Holdings, L.P. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1997, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, partners' capital and cash flows for the

responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

     We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. 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 financial position of CharterComm Holdings, L.P.
and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1997, and the results of their operations
and their cash flows for the period from January 1, 1998, through December 23,
1998, and for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

  ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     CharterComm Holdings, L.P. (CharterComm Holdings) was formed in March 1996
with the contributions of Charter Communications Southeast Holdings, L.P.
(Southeast Holdings), Charter Communications, L.P. (CC-I) and Charter
Communications II, L.P. (CC-II). This contribution was accounted for as a
reorganization under common control and, accordingly, the consolidated financial
statements and notes have been restated to include the results and financial
position of Southeast Holdings, CC-I and CC-II.

     Through December 23, 1998, CharterComm Holdings was owned 75.3% by
affiliates of Charterhouse Group International, Inc., a privately owned
investment firm (collectively referred to herein as "Charterhouse"), indirectly
owned 5.7% by Charter Communications, Inc. (Charter), manager of the
Partnership's (as defined below) cable television systems, and owned 19.0%
primarily by other institutional investors.

     Effective December 23, 1998, Paul G. Allen acquired 94% of Charter through
a series of transactions. In conjunction with Mr. Allen's acquisition, Charter
acquired 100% of the outstanding partnership interests in CharterComm Holdings
on December 23, 1998.

     The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
CharterComm Holdings and its subsidiaries collectively referred to as the
"Partnership" herein. All significant intercompany balances and transactions
have been eliminated in consolidation.

     In 1998, the Partnership through its subsidiaries provided cable television
service to customers in Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, North Carolina,
South Carolina and Tennessee.

  CASH EQUIVALENTS

     The Partnership considers all highly liquid investments with original
maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 1997,
cash equivalents consist primarily of repurchase agreements. These investments
are carried at cost that approximates market value.

  PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

     Property, plant and equipment is recorded at cost, including all direct and
certain indirect costs associated with the construction of cable television
transmission and distribution facilities, and the cost of new customer
installation. The costs of disconnecting a customer are charged to expense in
the period incurred. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to
expense as incurred, and equipment replacement and betterments are capitalized.

     Depreciation is provided on the straight-line basis over the estimated
useful lives of the related assets as follows:

                           CHARTERCOMM HOLDINGS, L.P.
                                AND SUBSIDIARIES

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

     In 1997, the Partnership shortened the estimated useful lives of certain
property, plant and equipment for depreciation purposes. As a result, an
additional $4,775 of depreciation was recorded during 1997.

  FRANCHISES

     Costs incurred in obtaining and renewing cable franchises are deferred and
amortized over the lives of the franchises. Costs relating to unsuccessful
franchise applications are charged to expense when it is determined that the
efforts to obtain the franchise will not be successful. Franchise rights
acquired through the purchase of cable television systems represent management's
estimate of fair value and are generally amortized using the straight-line
method over a period of 15 years. In addition, approximately $100,000 of
franchise rights are being amortized over a period of 3 to 11 years.

  OTHER ASSETS

     Debt issuance costs are being amortized to interest expense over the term
of the related debt. The interest rate cap costs are being amortized over the
terms of the agreement, which approximates three years.

  IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS

     If facts and circumstances suggest that a long-lived asset may be impaired,
the carrying value is reviewed. If a review indicates that the carrying value of
such asset is not recoverable based on projected undiscounted cash flows related
to the asset over its remaining life, the carrying value of such asset is
reduced to its estimated fair value.

  REVENUES

     Cable television revenues from basic and premium services are recognized
when the related services are provided.

     Installation revenues are recognized to the extent of direct selling costs
incurred. The remainder, if any, is deferred and amortized to income over the
estimated average period that customers are expected to remain connected to the
cable television system. As of December 31, 1997, no installation revenue has
been deferred, as direct selling costs exceeded installation revenue.

     Fees collected from programmers to guarantee carriage are deferred and
amortized to income over the life of the contracts. Local governmental
authorities impose franchise fees on the Partnership ranging up to a federally
mandated maximum of 5.0% of gross revenues. On a monthly basis, such fees are
collected from the Partnership's customers and are periodically remitted to
local franchises. Franchise fees collected and paid are reported as revenue.

  INTEREST RATE HEDGE AGREEMENTS

     The Partnership manages fluctuations in interest rates by using interest
rate hedge agreements, as required by certain debt agreements. Interest rate
swaps, caps and collars are accounted for as hedges of debt obligations, and
accordingly, the net settlement amounts are recorded as adjustments to interest
expense in the period incurred. Premiums paid for interest rate caps are
deferred, included in other assets, and are amortized over the original term of
the interest rate agreement as an adjustment to interest expense.

                                AND SUBSIDIARIES

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

     The Partnership's interest rate swap agreements require the Partnership to
pay a fixed rate and receive a floating rate thereby creating fixed rate debt.
Interest rate caps and collars are entered into by the Partnership to reduce the
impact of rising interest rates on floating rate debt.

     The Partnership's participation in interest rate hedging transactions
involves instruments that have a close correlation with its debt, thereby
managing its risk. Interest rate hedge agreements have been designed for hedging
purposes and are not held or issued for speculative purposes.

  OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE)

     Other, net includes gain and loss on disposition of property, plant and
equipment, and other miscellaneous items, all of which are not directly related
to the Partnership's primary line of business. In 1996, the Partnership recorded
$367 of nonoperating losses for its portion of insurance deductibles pertaining
to damage caused by hurricanes to certain cable television systems.

  INCOME TAXES

     Income taxes are the responsibility of the partners and are not provided
for in the accompanying financial statements except for Peachtree Cable TV, Inc.
(Peachtree), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary, which is a C corporation and
for which taxes are presented in accordance with SFAS No. 109.

  USE OF ESTIMATES

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

2.  ACQUISITIONS:

     In 1998, the Partnership acquired cable television systems in one
transaction for a purchase price net of cash acquired, of $5,900. The excess
cost of properties acquired over the amounts assigned to net tangible assets at
the date of acquisition was $5,000 and is included in franchises.

     In 1997, the Partnership acquired cable television systems in three
separate transactions for an aggregate purchase price, net of cash acquired, of
$159,600. The excess of the cost of properties acquired over the amounts
assigned to net tangible assets at the date of acquisition was $126,400 and is
included in franchises.

     In 1996, the Partnership acquired cable television systems in three
separate transactions for an aggregate purchase price, net of cash acquired, of
$145,400. The excess of the cost of properties acquired over the amounts
assigned to net tangible assets at the date of acquisition was $118,200 and is
included in franchises.

     The above acquisitions were accounted for using the purchase method of
accounting, and accordingly, results of operations of the acquired assets have
been included in the financial statements from the dates of acquisition.

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

     Unaudited pro forma operating results for the 1997 acquisitions as though
the acquisitions had been made on January 1, 1997, with pro forma adjustments to
give effect to amortization of franchises, interest expense and certain other
adjustments are as follows.

3.  DISTRIBUTIONS AND ALLOCATIONS:

     For financial reporting purposes, redemption preference allocations,
profits and losses are allocated to partners in accordance with the liquidation
provision of the applicable partnership agreement.

     As stated in the Partnership Agreement, the Partnership may make
distributions to the partners out of all available funds at such times and in
such amounts as the General Partner may determine in its sole discretion.

4.  REDEEMABLE PREFERRED LIMITED UNITS:

     As of December 31, 1995, certain Redeemable Preferred Limited Partner units
of CC-I and CC-II were outstanding. During 1996, the Partnership issued certain
Redeemable Preferred Limited Partner units of CharterComm Holdings.

     The Preferred Limited Partners' preference return has been reflected as an
addition to the Redeemable Preferred Limited Partner units, and the decrease has
been allocated to the General Partner and Common Limited Partner consistent with
the liquidation and distribution provisions in the partnership agreements.

     At December 23, 1998, the balance related to the CharterComm Holdings
Preferred Limited Partner units was as follows:

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

     The 1998 and 1997 redemption preference allocations of $4,617 and $4,020,
respectively, have not been reflected in the Preferred Limited Partners' capital
accounts since the General Partner and Common Limited Partners' capital accounts
have been reduced to $-0-.

5.  SPECIAL LIMITED PARTNER UNITS (CC-I):

     Prior to March 28, 1996, certain Special Limited Partner units of CC-I were
outstanding. CC-I's profits were allocated to the Special Limited Partners until
allocated profits equaled the unrecovered preference amount (preference amounts
range from 6% to 17.5% of the unrecovered initial cost of the partnership units
and unrecovered preference amounts per annum). When there was no profit to
allocate, the preference return was reflected as a decrease in Partners'
Capital.

     In accordance with a purchase agreement and through the use of a capital
contribution from Charter Communications Southeast, L.P. (Southeast), a wholly
owned subsidiary of Southeast Holdings, resulting from the proceeds of the Notes
(see Note 9), CC-I paid the Special Limited Partners $43,243 as full
consideration for their partnership interests on March 28, 1996.

  SENIOR SECURED DISCOUNT DEBENTURES

     On March 28, 1996, Southeast Holdings and CharterComm Holdings Capital
Corporation (Holdings Capital), a wholly owned subsidiary of Southeast Holdings
(collectively the "Debentures Issuers"), issued $146,820 of Senior Secured
Discount Debentures (the "Debentures") for proceeds of $75,000. Proceeds from
the Debentures were used to pay fees and expenses related to the issuance of the
Debentures and the balance of $72,400 was a capital contribution to Southeast.
The Debentures are secured by all of Southeast Holdings' ownership interest in
Southeast and rank pari passu in right and priority of payment to all other
existing and future indebtedness of the Debentures Issuers. The Debentures are
effectively subordinated to the claims of creditors of Southeast Holdings'
subsidiaries, including the Combined Credit Agreement (as defined herein). The
Debentures are redeemable at the Debentures Issuers' option at amounts
decreasing from 107% to 100% of principal, plus accrued and unpaid interest to
the redemption date, beginning on March 15, 2001. The Debentures Issuers are
required to make an offer to purchase all of the Debentures, at a purchase price
equal to 101% of the principal amount, together with accrued and unpaid
interest, upon a Change in Control, as defined in the Debentures Indenture. No
interest is payable on the Debentures prior to March 15, 2001. Thereafter,
interest on the Debentures is payable semiannually in arrears beginning
September 15, 2001, until maturity on March 15, 2007. The discount on the
Debentures is being accreted

using the effective interest method at an interest rate of 14% from the date of
issuance to March 15, 2001.

  11 1/4% SENIOR NOTES

     Southeast and CharterComm Capital Corporation (Southeast Capital), a wholly
owned subsidiary of Southeast (collectively the "Notes Issuers"), issued
$125,000 aggregate principal amount of 11 1/4% Senior Notes (the "Notes"). The
Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Notes Issuers and rank pari passu
in right and priority of payment to all other existing and future indebtedness
of the Notes Issuers. The Notes are effectively subordinated to the claims of
creditors of Southeast's subsidiaries, including the lenders under the Combined
Credit Agreement. The Notes are redeemable at the Notes Issuers' option at
amounts decreasing from 105.625% to 100% of principal, plus accrued and unpaid
interest to the date of redemption, beginning on March 15, 2001. The Notes
Issuers are required to make an offer to purchase all of the Notes, at a
purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount, together with accrued and
unpaid interest, upon a Change in Control, as defined in the Notes Indenture.
Interest is payable semiannually on March 15 and September 15 until maturity on
March 15, 2006.

     Southeast and Southeast Holdings are holding companies with no significant
assets other than their direct and indirect investments in CC-I and CC-II.
Southeast Capital and Holdings Capital were formed solely for the purpose of
serving as co-issuers and have no operations. Accordingly, the Notes Issuers and
Debentures Issuers must rely upon distributions from CC-I and CC-II to generate
funds necessary to meet their obligations, including the payment of principal
and interest on the Notes and Debentures.

  COMBINED CREDIT AGREEMENT

     In June 1998, CC-I and CC-II (the "Borrowers") replaced their existing
credit agreements and entered into a combined credit agreement (the "Combined
Credit Agreement"), which provides for two term loan facilities, one with the
principal amount of $200,000 that matures on June 30, 2007, and the other with
the principal amount of $150,000 that matures on December 31, 2007. The Combined
Credit Agreement also provides for a $290,000 revolving credit facility, with a
maturity date of June 30, 2007. Amounts under the Combined Credit Agreement bear
interest at the LIBOR Rate or Base Rate, as defined, plus a margin of up to
2.0%. The variable interest rates ranged from 6.69% to 7.31% at December 23,
1998.

     Commencing March 31, 2002, and at the end of each calendar quarter
thereafter, the available borrowings for the revolving credit facility and the
$200,000 term loan shall be reduced on an annual basis by 11.0% in 2002 and
14.6% in 2003. Commencing March 31, 2002, and at the end of each calendar
quarter thereafter, the available borrowings for the $150,000 term loan shall be
reduced on an annual basis by 1.0% in 2002 and 1.0% in 2003. A quarterly
commitment fee of between 0.25% and 0.375% per annum is payable on the
unborrowed balance of the revolving credit facility.

     The Debentures, Notes and Combined Credit Agreement require the Partnership
to comply with various financial and nonfinancial covenants including the
maintenance of a ratio of debt to annualized operating cash flow, as defined,
not to exceed 5.25 to 1 at December 23, 1998. These debt instruments also
contain substantial limitations on, or prohibitions of, distributions,
additional indebtedness, liens, asset sales and certain other items.

  CC-I CREDIT AGREEMENT

     CC-I maintained a credit agreement (the "CC-I Credit Agreement") with a
consortium of banks for borrowings up to $127,200, consisting of a revolving
line of credit of $63,600 and a term loan of $63,600. Interest accrued, at
CC-I's option, at rates based upon the Base Rate, as defined in the CC-I Credit
Agreement, LIBOR, or prevailing bid rates of certificates of deposit plus the
applicable margin based upon CC-I's leverage ratio at the time of the
borrowings. The variable interest rates ranged from 7.75% to 8.00% and 7.44% to
7.50% at December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

     In June 1998, the CC-I Credit Agreement was repaid and terminated in
conjunction with the establishment of the Combined Credit Agreement.

  CC-II CREDIT AGREEMENT

     CC-II maintained a credit agreement (the "CC-II Credit Agreement") with a
consortium of banks for borrowings up to $390,000, consisting of a revolving
credit facility of $215,000, and two term loans totaling $175,000. Interest
accrued, at CC-II's option, at rates based upon the Base Rate, as defined in the
CC-II Credit Agreement, LIBOR, or prevailing bid rates of certificates of
deposit plus the applicable margin based upon CC-II's leverage ratio at the time
of the borrowings. The variable interest rates ranged from 7.63% to 8.25% and
7.25% to 8.125% at December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

     In June 1998, the CC-II Credit Agreement was repaid and terminated in
conjunction with the establishment of the Combined Credit Agreement.

     As the CC-I and CC-II Credit Agreements bear interest at current market
rates, their carrying amounts approximate fair market values at December 31,

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

     The weighted average interest pay rate for CC-I interest rate swap
agreements was 8.07% at December 31, 1997.

     The weighted average interest pay rate for CC-II interest rate swap
agreements was 8.03% at December 31, 1997. The weighted average interest rate
for CC-II interest cap agreements was 8.48% at December 31, 1997. The weighted
average interest rates for CC-II interest rate collar agreements were 9.01% and
7.61% for the cap and floor components, respectively, at December 31, 1997.

     The notional amounts of interest rate hedge agreements do not represent
amounts exchanged by the parties and, thus, are not a measure of the
Partnership's exposure through its use of interest rate hedge agreements. The
amounts exchanged are determined by reference to the notional amount and the
other terms of the contracts.

     The fair value of interest rate hedge agreements generally reflects the
estimated amounts that the Partnership would receive or pay (excluding accrued
interest) to terminate the contracts on the reporting date, thereby taking into
account the current unrealized gains or losses of open contracts. Dealer
quotations are available for the Partnership's interest rate hedge agreements.

     Management believes that the sellers of the interest rate hedge agreements
will be able to meet their obligations under the agreements. In addition, some
of the interest rate hedge agreements are with certain of the participating
banks under the Partnership's credit facilities thereby reducing the exposure to
credit loss. The Partnership has policies regarding the financial stability and
credit standing of major counterparties. Nonperformance by the counterparties is
not anticipated nor would it have a material adverse effect on the results of
operations or the financial position of the Partnership.

11.  INCOME TAXES:

     The book value of the Partnership's net assets (excluding Peachtree)
exceeds its tax reporting basis by $2,919 as of December 31, 1997.

     As of December 31, 1997, temporary differences and carryforwards that gave

12.  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:

     Charter provides management services to the Partnership under the terms of
contracts which provide for fees equal to 5% of the Partnership's gross service
revenues. The debt agreements prohibit payment of a portion of such management
fees (40% for both CC-I and CC-II) until repayment in full of the outstanding
indebtedness. The remaining 60% of management fees, are paid quarterly through
December 31, 1998. Thereafter, the entire fee may be deferred if a multiple of
EBITDA, as defined, does not exceed outstanding indebtedness of CC-I and CC-II.
In addition, payments due on the Notes and Debentures shall be paid before any
deferred management fees are paid. Expenses recognized under the contracts for
the period from January 1, 1998, through December 23, 1998, were $9,860.
Expenses recognized under the contracts during 1997 and 1996 were $8,779 and
$6,014, respectively. Management fees currently payable of $1,432 are included
in payables to manager of cable television systems -- related party at December
31, 1997.

     The Partnership and all entities managed by Charter collectively utilize a
combination of insurance coverage and self-insurance programs for medical,
dental and workers' compensation claims. Medical coverage provides for $2,435
aggregate stop loss protection and a loss limitation of $100 per person per
year. Workers' compensation coverage provides for $800 aggregate stop loss
protection and a loss limitation of $150 per person per year. Charges are
determined by independent actuaries at the present value of the actuarially
computed present and future liabilities for such benefits. The Partnership is
allocated its share of the charges monthly based upon its total number of
employees, historical claims and medical cost trend rates. Management considers
this allocation to be reasonable for the operations of the Partnership. For the
period from January 1, 1998, through December 23, 1998, the Partnership expensed
$1,831 relating to insurance allocations. During 1997 and 1996, the Partnership
expensed $1,524 and $1,136, respectively, relating to insurance allocations.

     The Partnership employs the services of Charter's National Data Center (the
"National Data Center"). The National Data Center performs certain customer
billing services and provides computer network, hardware and software support
for the Partnership and other entities managed by Charter. The cost of these
services is allocated based on the number of basic customers. Management
considers this allocation to be reasonable for the operations of the
Partnership. For the period from January 1, 1998, through December 23, 1998, the
Partnership expensed $685 relating to these services. During 1997 and 1996, the
Partnership expensed $606 and $345, respectively, relating to these services.

     CC-I, CC-II and other entities managed by Charter maintain regional
offices. The regional offices perform certain operational services. The cost of
these services is allocated based on number of basic customers. Management
considers this allocation to be reasonable for the operations of the
Partnership. For the period from January 1, 1998, through December 23, 1998, the
Partnership expensed $3,009 relating to these services. During 1997 and 1996,
the Partnership expensed $1,992 and $1,294, respectively, relating to these
services.

     The Partnership pays certain acquisition advisory fees to Charter and
Charterhouse for cable television systems acquired. Total acquisition fees paid
to Charter for the period from January 1, 1998, through December 23, 1998, were
$-0-. Total acquisition fees paid to Charter in 1997 and 1996 were $982 and
$1,738, respectively. Total acquisition fees paid to Charterhouse for the period
from January 1, 1998, through December 23, 1998, were $-0-. Total acquisition
fees paid to Charterhouse in 1997 and 1996 were $982 and $1,738, respectively.

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

     During 1997, the ownership of CharterComm Holdings changed as a result of
CharterComm Holdings receiving a $25,000 cash contribution from an institutional
investor, a $3,000 cash contribution from Charterhouse and a $2,000 cash
contribution from Charter, as well as the transfer of assets and liabilities of
a cable television system through a series of transactions initiated by Charter
and Charterhouse. Costs of $200 were incurred in connection with the cash
contributions. These contributions were contributed to Southeast Holdings which,
in turn, contributed them to Southeast.

13.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:

  LEASES

     The Partnership leases certain facilities and equipment under noncancelable
operating leases. Lease and rental costs charged to expense for the period from
January 1, 1998, through December 23, 1998, was $642. Rent expense incurred
under leases during 1997 and 1996 was $615 and $522, respectively.

     The Partnership also rents utility poles in its operations. Generally, pole
rentals are cancelable on short notice, but the Partnership anticipates that
such rentals will recur. Rent expense incurred for pole rental attachments for
the period from January 1, 1998, through December 23, 1998, was $3,261. Rent
expense incurred for pole attachments during 1997 and 1996 was $2,930 and
$2,092, respectively.

  LITIGATION

     The Partnership is a party to lawsuits that arose in the ordinary course of
conducting its business. In the opinion of management, after consulting with
legal counsel, the outcome of these lawsuits will not have a material adverse
effect on the Partnership's consolidated financial position or results of
operations.

  REGULATION IN THE CABLE TELEVISION INDUSTRY

     The cable television industry is subject to extensive regulation at the
federal, local and, in some instances, state levels. The Cable Communications
Policy Act of 1984 (the "1984 Cable Act"), the Cable Television Consumer
Protection and Competition Act of 1992 (the "1992 Cable Act" and together with
the 1984 Cable Act, the "Cable Acts"), and the Telecommunications Act of 1996
(the "1996 Telecom Act"), establish a national policy to guide the development
and regulation of cable television systems. The Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) has principal responsibility for implementing the policies of
the Cable Acts. Many aspects of such regulation are currently the subject of
judicial proceedings and administrative or legislative proposals. Legislation
and regulations continue to change, and the Company cannot predict the impact of
future developments on the cable television industry.

     The 1992 Cable Act and the FCC's rules implementing that act generally have
increased the administrative and operational expenses of cable television
systems and have resulted in additional regulatory oversight by the FCC and
local or state franchise authorities. The Cable Acts and the corresponding FCC
regulations have established rate regulations.

     The 1992 Cable Act permits certified local franchising authorities to order
refunds of basic service tier rates paid in the previous twelve-month period
determined to be in excess of the

                                      F-94
<PAGE>   264
                           CHARTERCOMM HOLDINGS, L.P.
                                AND SUBSIDIARIES

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

maximum permitted rates. As of December 23, 1998, the amount returned by the
Company has been insignificant. The Company may be required to refund additional
amounts in the future.

     The Company believes that it has complied in all material respects with the
provisions of the 1992 Cable Act, including the rate setting provisions
promulgated by the FCC. However, in jurisdictions that have chosen not to
certify, refunds covering the previous twelve-month period may be ordered upon
certification if the Company is unable to justify its basic rates. The Company
is unable to estimate at this time the amount of refunds, if any, that may be
payable by the Company in the event certain of its rates are successfully
challenged by franchising authorities or found to be unreasonable by the FCC.
The Company does not believe that the amount of any such refunds would have a
material adverse effect on the financial position or results of operations of
the Company.

     The 1996 Telecom Act, among other things, immediately deregulated the rates
for certain small cable operators and in certain limited circumstances rates on
the basic service tier, and as of March 31, 1999, deregulates rates on the cable
programming service tier (CPST). The FCC is currently developing permanent
regulations to implement the rate deregulation provisions of the 1996 Telecom
Act. The Company cannot predict the ultimate effect of the 1996 Telecom Act on
the Company's financial position or results of operations.

     The FCC may further restrict the ability of cable television operators to
implement rate increases or the United States Congress may enact legislation
that could delay or suspend the scheduled March 1999 termination of CPST rate
regulation. This continued rate regulation, if adopted, could limit the rates
charged by the Company.

     A number of states subject cable television systems to the jurisdiction of
centralized state governmental agencies, some of which impose regulation of a
character similar to that of a public utility. State governmental agencies are
required to follow FCC rules when prescribing rate regulation, and thus, state
regulation of cable television rates is not allowed to be more restrictive than
the federal or local regulation.

14.  EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS:

     The Partnership's employees may participate in Charter Communications, Inc.
401(k) Plan (the "401(k) Plan"). Employees that qualify for participation can
contribute up to 15% of their salary, on a before tax basis, subject to a
maximum contribution limit as determined by the Internal Revenue Service. The
Partnership contributes an amount equal to 50% of the first 5% of contributions
by each employee. For the period from January 1, 1998, through December 23,
1998, the Partnership contributed $305. During 1997 and 1996, the Partnership
contributed $262 and $149, respectively.

     Certain Partnership employees participate in the 1996 Charter
Communications/ Charterhouse Group Appreciation Rights Plan (the "Appreciation
Rights Plan"). The Appreciation Rights Plan covers certain key employees and
consultants within the group of companies and partnerships controlled by
Charterhouse and managed by Charter. The Plan permits the granting of up to
1,000,000 units, of which 925,000 were outstanding at December 31, 1997. Unless
otherwise provided in a particular instance, units vest at a rate of 20% per
annum. The Plan entitles participants to receive payment of the appreciated unit
value for vested units, upon the occurrence of certain events specified in the
Plan (i.e. change in control, employee termination). The units do not represent
a right to an equity interest in CharterComm Holdings.

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

Compensation expense is based on the appreciated unit value and is amortized
over the vesting period.

     As a result of the acquisition of Charter and the Partnership, the Plan was
terminated, all outstanding units became 100% vested and all amounts were paid
by Charter in 1999. For the period from January 1, 1998, through December 23,
1998, the Partnership recorded $4,920 of expense, included in management fees,
and a contribution from Charter related to the Appreciation Rights Plan.

15.  ACCOUNTING STANDARD NOT YET IMPLEMENTED:


     In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board adopted SFAS No.
133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS No.
133 establishes accounting and reporting standards requiring that every
derivative instrument (including certain derivative instruments embedded in
other contracts) be recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or
liability measured at its fair value and that changes in the derivative's fair
value be recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting
criteria are met. Special accounting for qualifying hedges allows a derivative's
gains and losses to offset related results on the hedged item in the income
statement, and requires that a company must formally document, designate and
assess the effectiveness of transactions that receive hedge accounting. SFAS No.
133 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. The Partnership
has not yet quantified the impacts of adopting SFAS No. 133 on its consolidated
financial statements nor has it determined the timing or method of its adoption
of SFAS No. 133. However, SFAS No. 133 could increase volatility in earnings
(loss).


16.  SUBSEQUENT EVENT:

     Subsequent to December 31, 1998, CharterComm Holdings, L.P. and all of its
subsidiaries converted to limited liability companies and are now known as
CharterComm Holdings LLC and subsidiaries.

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To Greater Media, Inc.:

     We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of Greater Media
Cablevision Systems (see Note 1) (collectively, the "Combined Systems") included
in Greater Media, Inc., as of September 30, 1998 and 1997, and the related
combined statements of income, changes in net assets, and cash flows for each of
the three years in the period ended September 30, 1998. These combined financial
statements are the responsibility of management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these combined financial statements based on our audits.

     We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. 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 combined financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the combined financial position of the
Combined Systems, as of September 30, 1998 and 1997, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
September 30, 1998, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                                 (IN THOUSANDS)

1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

  ORGANIZATION, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND OPERATIONS


     Greater Media Cablevision Systems is the owner and operator of the
following Massachusetts-based cable television systems: Auburn, Boylston,
Chicopee, Dudley, East Longmeadow, Easthampton, Grafton, Hampden, Holden,
Leicester, Ludlow, Millbury, Northborough, Northbridge, Oxford, Paxton,
Southampton, Southborough, Southbridge, Spencer, Sturbridge, Upton, Webster,
West Boylston, West Brookfield, Westborough, Wilbraham and Worcester ("the
Combined Systems"). The Combined Systems are wholly-owned by Greater Media
Cablevision, Inc. ("the Company"). The combined financial statements do not
include the accounts of Greater Philadelphia Cablevision, Inc. or Greater
Philadelphia Cablevision Limited Partnership (the "Philadelphia System"), which
are also wholly-owned by the Company. The Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary
of Greater Media, Inc. ("the Parent"). In February 1999, the Parent and the
Company entered into an agreement ("Sales Agreement") to sell the net assets of
the Company including the Combined Systems but excluding the Philadelphia
Systems to Charter Communications Holdings, LLC.


     Significant intercompany accounts and transactions between the Combined
Systems have been eliminated in the combined financial statements. Significant
accounts and transactions with the Parent and other affiliates are disclosed as
related party transactions (See Note 7).

     The Combined Systems primarily provide cable television services to
subscribers in central and western Massachusetts.

  CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

     The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original
maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

  PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

     Maintenance and repair costs are expensed when incurred. For financial
reporting purposes, depreciation is provided on the straight-line method based
on the following estimated useful lives:

</TABLE>

  INTANGIBLE ASSETS

     Intangible assets consist primarily of goodwill amortized over forty years
and costs incurred in obtaining and renewing cable franchises which are
amortized over the life of the respective franchise agreements.

  REVENUES

     Cable revenues from basic and premium services are recognized when the
related services are provided.

             NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

  USE OF ESTIMATES

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

  QUARTERLY RESULTS

     The financial statements included herein as of December 31, 1998 and for
the three months ended December 31, 1998 and 1997 have been prepared by the
Company without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments have been
made which are of a normal recurring nature necessary to present fairly the
Combined Systems' financial position as of December 31, 1998 and the results of
operations, changes in net assets and cash flows for the three months ended
December 31, 1998 and 1997. Certain information and footnote disclosures have
been condensed or omitted for these periods. The results for interim periods are
not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year.

     Depreciation expense for the years ended September 30, 1998, 1997 and 1996
was $8,081, $7,337, and $7,314, respectively. Construction in progress results
primarily from costs to upgrade the systems to fiber optic technologies in the
areas served by the Combined Systems.

</TABLE>

6.  INCOME TAXES

     The Combined Systems are included in the consolidated federal income tax
return of the Parent. However, the Parent is responsible for tax payments
applicable to the Combined Systems. The combined financial statements reflect a
provision in lieu of income taxes as if the combined systems were filing on a
separate company basis. Accordingly, the Combined Systems have included the
provision in lieu of income taxes as a component of net assets for all periods
presented.

     The provision in lieu of income taxes approximates the amount of tax
computed using U.S. statutory rates, after reflecting state income tax expense
of $2,053, $1,924 and $1,486, for 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

     As the Sales Agreement represents a sale of assets, Charter Communications
Holdings, LLC will have new tax basis in the Combined Systems' assets and
liabilities acquired.

7.  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

     The Company and each of its subsidiaries are guarantors of the Parent
Company's debt.

                                      F-104
<PAGE>   274
                       GREATER MEDIA CABLEVISION SYSTEMS

             NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

     The combined statements include the charge for certain corporate expenses
incurred by the Parent on behalf of the Combined Systems. Such charges amounted
to $3,888, $3,696, and $3,365 for the three years ended September 30, 1998, 1997
and 1996. Management believes that these costs are reasonable and reflect costs
of doing business that the Combined Systems would have incurred on a stand-alone
basis.

     The Combined Systems charge an affiliate interest on certain balances,
aggregating $15,000 per year, at an annual rate of 12%. Interest income on such
balances amounted to $1,800 for each of the three years in the period ended
September 30, 1998. In addition, the Combined Systems are required to pay the
Parent interest on certain balances, at an annual rate of 12%. Interest expense
on such balances amounted to $2,340 for each of these years in the period ended
September 30, 1998, all which were due during the periods presented. The amounts
described above and certain non-interest bearing amounts due affiliates are
included in Net Assets in the Combined Systems balance sheet. As a result of the
Sales Agreement, such amounts will be assumed by the Parent. The interest income
and expense have been netted in the accompanying statement of operations.

8.  EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN

  401(k) PLAN

     The Combined Systems' employees participate in the Greater Media, Inc.
401(k) Plan (the "401(k) Plan"). Employees that qualify for participation can
contribute up to 12% of their salary, on a before tax basis, subject to a
maximum contribution limit as determined by the Internal Revenue Service. The
Parent contributes an amount equal to 50% of the participant's contribution,
limited to the lessor of 3% of the participant's compensation or $1 per year.

     The Combined Systems expense relating to the 401(k) Plan was $140, $127,
and $96 in 1998, 1997, and 1996, respectively.

  PENSION

     Employees of the Combined Systems participate in a pension plan sponsored
by the Parent. The Combined Systems allocable share of the pension expense
amounted to $105, $204 and $217 during the years ended September 30, 1998, 1997
and 1996, respectively. As a result of the Sales Agreement, the Combined
Systems' employees will be fully vested with respect to their plan benefits,
although no additional benefits will accrue to such employees in the future. In
addition, the Parent will be responsible for the allocable pension liability
($838 at September 30, 1998) and will continue to administer the plan on behalf
of the Combined Systems' employees after the sale is consummated.

9.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

  LEASES

     The Company leases certain facilities and equipment under noncancellable
operating leases. Leases and rental costs charged to expense for the years ended
September 30, 1998, 1997 and 1996, was $2,124, $2,133 and $1,636, respectively.

years ended September 30, 1998, 1997 and 1996, was $678, $665 and $660,
respectively. Future minimum lease payments are as follows:

     The Company also rents utility poles in its operations. Generally, pole
rentals are cancelable on short notice, but the Company anticipates that such
rentals will recur. Rent expense incurred for pole rental attachments for the
years ended September 30, 1998, 1997 and 1996, was $1,008, $840 and $578,
respectively.

  LITIGATION

     The Company is party to lawsuits that arise in the ordinary course of
conducting its business. In the opinion of management, after consulting with
legal counsel, the outcome of these lawsuits will not have a material adverse
effect on the Company's combined financial position or results of operations.

  REGULATION IN THE CABLE TELEVISION INDUSTRY

     The cable television industry is subject to extensive regulation at the
federal, local and, in some instances, state levels. The Cable Communications
Policy Act of 1984 (the "1984 Cable Act"), the Cable Television Consumer
Protection and Competition Act of 1992 (the "1992 Cable Act" and together with
the 1984 Cable Act, the "Cable Acts"), and the Telecommunications Act of 1996
(the "1996 Telecom Act"), establish a national policy to guide the development
and regulation of cable television systems. The Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) has principal responsibility for implementing the policies of
the Cable Acts. Many aspects of such regulation are currently the subject of
judicial proceedings and administrative or legislative proposals. Legislation
and regulations continue to change, and the Company cannot predict the impact of
future developments on the cable television industry.

     The 1992 Cable Act and the FCC's rules implementing that act generally have
increased the administrative and operational expenses of cable television
systems and have resulted in additional regulatory oversight by the FCC and
local or state franchise authorities. The Cable Acts and the corresponding FCC
regulations have established rate regulations.

     The 1992 Cable Act permits certified local franchising authorities to order
refunds of basic service tier rates paid in the previous twelve-month period
determined to be in excess of the maximum permitted rates. The Company may be
required to refund additional amounts in the future.

     The Combined Systems believe that they have complied in all material
respects with the provisions of the 1992 Cable Act, including the rate setting
provisions promulgated by the FCC. However, in jurisdictions that have chosen
not to certify, refunds covering the previous twelve-month period may be ordered
upon certification if a company is unable to justify its basic rates. The
Combined Systems are unable to estimate at this time the amount of refunds, if
any, that may be payable by the Combined Systems in the event certain of its
rates are successfully

             NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

challenged by franchising authorities or found to be unreasonable by the FCC.
The Combined Systems do not believe that the amount of any such refunds would
have a material adverse effect on their financial position or results of
operations.

     The 1996 Telecom Act, among other things, immediately deregulated the rates
for certain small cable operators and in certain limited circumstances rates on
the basic service tier, and as of March 31, 1999, deregulates rates on the cable
programming service tier (CPST). The FCC is currently developing permanent
regulations to implement the rate deregulation provisions of the 1996 Telecom
Act. The Combined Systems cannot predict the ultimate effect of the 1996 Telecom
Act on their financial position or results of operations.

     The FCC may further restrict the ability of cable television operators to
implement rate increases or the United States Congress may enact legislation
that could delay or suspend the scheduled March 1999 termination of CPST rate
regulation. This continued rate regulation, if adopted, could limit the rates
charged by the Combined Systems.

     A number of states subject cable television systems to the jurisdiction of
centralized state governmental agencies, some of which impose regulation of a
character similar to that of a public utility. State governmental agencies are
required to follow FCC rules when prescribing rate regulation, and thus, state
regulation of cable television rates is not allowed to be more restrictive than
the federal or local regulation. The Combined Systems are subject to state
regulation in Massachusetts.


10. SUBSEQUENT EVENT (UNAUDITED)

     We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Renaissance

     We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.


     In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Renaissance

1.  ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     Renaissance Media Group LLC ("Group") was formed on March 13, 1998 by
Renaissance Media Holdings LLC ("Holdings"). Holdings is owned by Morgan Stanley
Capital Partners III, L.P. ("MSCP III"), Morgan Stanley Capital Investors, L.P.
("MSCI"), MSCP III 892 Investors, L.P. ("MSCP Investors" and, collectively, with
its affiliates, MSCP III and MSCI and their respective affiliates, the "Morgan
Stanley Entities"), Time Warner and the Management Investors. On March 20, 1998,
Holdings contributed to Group its membership interests in two wholly-owned
subsidiaries; Renaissance Media (Louisiana) LLC ("Louisiana") and Renaissance
Media (Tennessee) LLC ("Tennessee"), which were formed on January 7, 1998.
Louisiana and Tennessee acquired a 76% interest and 24% interest, respectively,
in Renaissance Media LLC ("Media") from Morgan Stanley Capital Partners III,
Inc. ("MSCP"), on February 13, 1998 through an acquisition of entities under
common control accounted for as if it were a pooling of interests. As a result,
Media became a subsidiary of Group and Holdings. Group and its aforementioned
subsidiaries are collectively referred to as the "Company". On April 9, 1998,
the Company acquired (the "Acquisition") six cable television systems (the
"Systems") from TWI Cable, Inc. ("TWI Cable"), a subsidiary of Time Warner Inc.
("Time Warner"). See Note 3. Prior to this Acquisition, the Company had no
operations other than start-up related activities.

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

     During fiscal 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")
issued Statement No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities" ("FAS 133").

     FAS 133 provides a comprehensive and consistent standard for the
recognition and measurement of derivatives and hedging activities. The Company
will adopt FAS 133 as of January 1, 2000. The impact of the adoption on the
Company's consolidated financial statements is not expected to be material.

     PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

     The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts
of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. Significant intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

     CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

     A significant portion of the customer base is concentrated within the local
geographical area of each of the individual cable television systems. The
Company generally extends credit to customers and the ultimate collection of
accounts receivable could be affected by the local economy. Management performs
continuous credit evaluations of its customers and may require cash in advance
or other special arrangements from certain customers. Management does not
believe that there is any significant credit risk which could have a material
effect on the Company's financial condition.

     REVENUE AND COSTS

     Subscriber fees are recorded as revenue in the period the related services
are provided and advertising revenues are recognized in the period the related
advertisements are exhibited.

                       (ALL DOLLAR AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS)

Rights to exhibit programming are purchased from various cable networks. The
costs of such rights are generally expensed as the related services are made
available to subscribers.

     ADVERTISING COSTS

     Advertising costs are expensed upon the first exhibition of the related
advertisements. Advertising expense amounted to $491 in 1998.

     CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

     Cash and cash equivalents include cash and investments in short-term,
highly liquid securities, which have maturities when purchased of three months
or less.

     PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

     Property, plant and equipment is recorded at purchased and capitalized
cost. Capitalized internal costs principally, consist of employee costs and
interest on funds borrowed during construction. Capitalized labor, materials and
associated overhead amounted to approximately $1,429 in 1998. Replacements,
renewals and improvements to installed cable plant are capitalized. Maintenance
and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation expense for the
year ended December 31, 1998 amounted to $7,314. Property, plant and equipment
is depreciated using the straight-line method over the following estimated
service lives:

     CABLE TELEVISION FRANCHISES AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

     Cable television franchise costs include the assigned fair value, at the
date of acquisition, of the franchises from purchased cable television systems.
Intangible assets include goodwill, deferred financing and other intangible
assets. Cable television franchises and intangible assets are amortized using
the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:

</TABLE>

     The Company periodically reviews the carrying value of its long-lived
assets, including property, plant and equipment, cable television franchises and
intangible assets, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying value may not be recoverable. To the extent the estimated future cash
inflows attributable to the asset, less estimated future cash outflows, is less
than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized to the extent that
the carrying value of such asset is greater than its fair value.

     ESTIMATES USED IN FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, the
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

3.  ACQUISITIONS

     TWI CABLE

     On April 9, 1998, the Company acquired six cable television systems from
TWI Cable. The systems are clustered in southern Louisiana, western Mississippi
and western Tennessee. This Acquisition represented the first acquisition by the
Company. The purchase price for the systems was $309,500 which was paid as
follows: TWI Cable received $300,000 in cash, inclusive of an escrow deposit of
$15,000, and a $9,500 (9,500 units) equity interest in Renaissance Media
Holdings LLC, the parent company of Group. In addition to the purchase price,
the Company incurred approximately $1,385 in transaction costs, exclusive of
financing costs.

     The Acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method and,
accordingly, results of operations are reported from the date of the Acquisition
(April 9, 1998). The excess of the

been allocated to cable television franchises and goodwill in the amount of
$235,387 and $8,608, respectively.

     DEFFNER CABLE

     On August 31, 1998, the Company acquired the assets of Deffner Cable, a
cable television company located in Gadsden, Tennessee. The purchase price was
$100 and was accounted for using the purchase method. The allocation of the
purchase price is subject to change, although management does not believe that
any material adjustment to such allocation is expected.

     BAYOU VISION, INC.

     On February 3, 1999, Media acquired the cable television assets of Bayou
Vision, Inc. and Gulf South Cable, Inc. serving approximately 1,950 subscribers
in the Villages of Estherwood, Morse and Mermentau and Acadia and Livingston
Parish, Louisiana. The cash purchase price was approximately $2,700 and was paid
out of available Company funds.

Agreement total $150,000, consisting of a $40,000 revolver, $60,000 Tranche A
Term Loans and $50,000 Tranche B Term Loans (collectively the "Term Loans"). The
revolving credit and term loans are collateralized by a first lien position on
all present and future assets and the member's interest of Media, Louisiana and
Tennessee. The Credit Agreement provides for interest at varying rates based
upon various borrowing options and the attainment of certain financial ratios
and for commitment fees of  1/2% on the unused portion of the revolver. The
effective interest rate, including commitment fees and amortization of related
deferred financing costs and the interest-rate cap, for the year ended December
31, 1998 was 8.82%.

     On April 9, 1998, $110,000 was borrowed under the Credit Agreement's
Tranche A and B Term Loans. On June 23, 1998, $7,500 was repaid resulting in

     The Credit Agreement and the Indenture pursuant to which the Notes were
issued contain restrictive covenants on the Company and subsidiaries regarding
additional indebtedness, investment guarantees, loans, acquisitions, dividends
and merger or sale of the subsidiaries and require the maintenance of certain
financial ratios.

     Total interest cost incurred for the year ended December 31, 1998,
including commitment fees and amortization of deferred financing and
interest-rate cap costs was $14,358, net of capitalized interest of $42.

5.  INTEREST RATE-CAP AGREEMENT

     The Company purchases interest-rate cap agreements that are designed to
limit its exposure to increasing interest rates and are designated to its
floating rate debt. The strike price of these agreements exceeds the current
market levels at the time they are entered into. The interest rate indices
specified by the agreements have been and are expected to be highly correlated
with the interest rates the Company incurs on its floating rate debt. Payments
to be received as a result of the specified interest rate index exceeding the
strike price are accrued in other assets and are recognized as a reduction of
interest expense (the accrual accounting method). The cost of these agreements
is included in other assets and amortized to interest expense ratably during

the life of the agreement. Upon termination of an interest-rate cap agreement,
any gain is deferred in other liabilities and amortized over the remaining term
of the original contractual life of the agreement as a reduction of interest
expense.

     On December 1, 1997, the Company purchased an interest-rate cap agreement
from Morgan Stanley Capital Services Inc. The carrying value as of December 31,
1998 was $47. The fair value of the interest-rate cap, which is based upon the
estimated amount that the Company would receive or pay to terminate the cap
agreement as of December 31, 1998, taking into consideration current interest
rates and the credit worthiness of the counterparties, approximates its carrying
value.

     The following table summarizes the interest-rate cap agreement:

</TABLE>

     The Company's current state tax liability results from its obligation to
pay franchise tax in Tennessee and Mississippi and tax on capital in New York.

     The Company has a net operating loss ("NOL") carryforward for income tax
purposes which is available to offset future taxable income. This NOL totals
approximately $14,900 and expires in the year 2018. The Company has established
a valuation allowance to offset the entire potential future tax benefit of the
NOL carryforward and, therefore, has recognized no deferred tax asset with
respect to the NOL.

     Louisiana and Tennessee have elected to be treated as corporations for
federal income tax purposes and have not recorded any tax benefit for their
losses as the realization of theses losses by reducing future taxable income in
the carry forward period is uncertain at this time.

     (b) TRANSACTIONS WITH TIME WARNER AND RELATED PARTIES

     In connection with the Acquisition, Media entered into an agreement with
Time Warner, pursuant to which Time Warner manages the Company's programming in
exchange for providing the Company access to certain Time Warner programming
arrangements.

     (c) Transactions with Management

     Prior to the consummation of the Acquisition described in Note 3, Media
paid fees in 1998 to six senior executives of the Company who are investors in
the Company (the "Management Investors") for services rendered prior to their
employment by Media relating to the Acquisition and the Credit Agreement. These
fees totaled $287 and were recorded as transaction and financing costs.

     (d) DUE TO MANAGEMENT INVESTORS

     Prior to the formation of the Company, the Management Investors advanced
$1,000 to Holdings, which was used primarily for working capital purposes. Upon
formation of the Company, Holdings contributed certain assets and liabilities to
Group and the $1,000 advance from the Management Investors was recorded as paid
in capital.

     (e) TRANSACTIONS WITH BOARD MEMBER

     The Company has utilized the law firm of one of its board members for legal
services for the Acquisition, financing agreements and various ongoing legal
matters. These fees totaled approximately $1,348 for the year ended December 31,
1998.

9.  EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN

     Effective April 9, 1998, the Company began sponsoring a defined
contribution plan which covers substantially all employees (the "Plan"). The
Plan provides for contributions from eligible employees up to 15% of their
compensation. The Company's contribution to the Plan is limited to 50% of each
eligible employee's contribution up to 10% of his or her compensation. The
Company has the right in any year to set the amount of the Company's
contribution percentage.

Company matching contributions to the Plan for the year ended December 31, 1998
were approximately $97. All participant contributions and earnings are fully
vested upon contribution and company contributions and earnings vest 20% per
year of employment with the Company, becoming fully vested after five years.

10.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

     (a) LEASES

     The Company had rental expense under various lease and rental agreements
primarily for offices, tower sites and warehouses of approximately $125 in 1998.
In addition, the Company rents utility poles in its operations generally under
short term arrangements, but the Company expects these arrangements to recur.
Total rent expense for utility poles was approximately $620 in 1998. Future
minimum annual rental payments under noncancellable leases are as follows:

</TABLE>

     (b) EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS

     Media has entered into employment agreements with six senior executives who
are also investors in Holdings. Under the conditions of five of the agreements
the employment term is five years, expiring in April 2003 and requires Media to
continue salary payments (including any bonus) through the term if the
executive's employment is terminated by Media without cause, as defined in the
employment agreement. Media's obligations under the employment agreements may be
reduced in certain situations based on actual operating performance relative to
the business plan, death or disability or by actions of the other senior
executives.

     The employment agreement for one senior executive has a term of one year
and may be renewed annually. This agreement has been renewed through April 8,
2000.

     (c) OTHER AGREEMENTS

     In exchange for certain flexibility in establishing cable rate pricing
structures for regulated services that went into effect on January 1, 1996, Time
Warner agreed with the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") to invest in
certain upgrades to its cable infrastructure (consisting primarily of materials
and labor in connection with the plant upgrades up to 750 megahertz) by 1999
(approximately $23 million). This agreement with the FCC has been assumed by the
Company as part of the Acquisition.

11.  SUBSEQUENT EVENT

     On February 23, 1999, Holdings entered into an agreement with Charter
Communications, LLC and Charter Communications, Inc., to sell 100% of its
members' equity in the Company for approximately $459,000, subject to certain
closing conditions. This transaction is expected to close during the third
quarter of 1999.

12.  YEAR 2000 ISSUES (UNAUDITED)

     The Company relies on computer systems, related software applications and
other control devices in operating and monitoring all major aspects of its
business, including, but not limited to, its financial systems (such as general
ledger, accounts payable, payroll and fixed asset modules), subscriber billing
systems, internal networks and telecommunications equipment. The Company also
relies, directly and indirectly, on the external systems of various independent
business enterprises, such as its suppliers and financial organizations, for the
accurate exchange of data.

     The Company continues to assess the likely impact of Year 2000 issues on
its business operations, including its material information technology ("IT")
and non-IT applications. These material applications include all billing and
subscriber information systems, general ledger software, payroll systems,
accounting software, phone switches and certain headend applications, all of
which are third party supported.

     The Company believes it has identified all systems that may be affected by
Year 2000 Issues. Concurrent with the identification phase, the Company is
securing compliance determinations relative to all identified systems. For those
systems that the Company believes are material, compliance programs have been
received or such systems have been certified by independent parities as Year
2000 compliant. For those material systems that are subject to compliance
programs, the Company expects to receive Year 2000 certifications from
independent parties by the second quarter 1999. Determinations of Year 2000
compliance requirements for less mission critical systems are in progress and
are expected to be completed in the second quarter of 1999.

     With respect to third parties with which the Company has a material
relationship, the Company believes its most significant relationships are with
financial institutions, who receive subscriber monthly payments and maintain
Company bank accounts, and subscriber billing and management systems providers.
We have received compliance programs which if executed as planned should provide
a high degree of assurance that all Year 2000 issues will be addressed by mid
1999.

     The Company has not incurred any material Year 2000 costs to date, and
excluding the need for contingency plans, does not expect to incur any material
Year 2000 costs in the future because most of its applications are maintained by
third parties who have borne Year 2000 compliance costs.

     The Company cannot be certain that it or third parties supporting its
systems have resolved or will resolve all Year 2000 issues in a timely manner.
Failure by the Company or any such third party to successfully address the
relevant Year 2000 issues could result in disruptions of the Company's business
and the incurrence of significant expenses by the Company. Additionally, the
Company could be affected by any disruption to third parties with which the
Company does business if such third parties have not successfully addressed
their Year 2000 issues.

     Failure to resolve Year 2000 issues could result in improper billing to the
Company's subscribers which could have a major impact on the recording of
revenue and the collection of cash as well as create significant customer
dissatisfaction. In addition, failure on the part of the financial institutions
with which the Company relies on for its cash collection and management services
could also have a significant impact on collections, results of operations and
the liquidity of the Company.

                       (ALL DOLLAR AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS)

     The Company has not yet finalized contingency plans necessary to handle the
most likely worst case scenarios. Before concluding as to possible contingency
plans, the Company must determine whether the material service providers
contemplate having such plans in place. In the event that contingency plans from
material service providers are not in place or are deemed inadequate, management
expects to have such plans in place by the third quarter of 1999.

                         REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

To the Board of Directors of
  TWI Cable, Inc.

     We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheet of the Picayune MS,
Lafourche LA, St. Tammany LA, St. Landry LA, Pointe Coupee LA, and Jackson TN
cable television systems, (collectively, the "Combined Systems") included in TWI
Cable, Inc. ("TWI Cable"), as of April 8, 1998, and the related combined
statements of operations, changes in net assets and cash flows for the period
from January 1, 1998 through April 8, 1998. These combined financial statements
are the responsibility of the Combined Systems' management. Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these combined financial statements based on our
audit.

     We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

     In our opinion, the combined financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the combined financial position of the
Combined Systems, included in TWI Cable, at April 8, 1998, and the combined
results of their operations and their cash flows for the period from January 1,
1998 through April 8, 1998, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

                     NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.  ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

  DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

     The cable television systems operating in the metropolitan areas of
Picayune, Mississippi; Lafourche, Louisiana; St. Tammany, Louisiana; St. Landry,
Louisiana; Pointe Coupee, Louisiana; and Jackson, Tennessee (the "Combined
Systems") are principally engaged in the cable television business under
non-exclusive franchise agreements, which expire at various times beginning in
1999. The Combined Systems' operations consist primarily of selling video
programming which is distributed to subscribers for a monthly fee through a
network of coaxial and fiber-optic cables.

     Prior to January 4, 1996, the Combined Systems were included in certain
subsidiaries of Cablevision Industries Corporation ("CVI"). On January 4, 1996,
CVI merged into a wholly owned subsidiary of Time Warner Inc. (the "CVI
Merger"). On October 1, 1996, Time Warner Inc. ("Time Warner") completed a
reorganization amongst certain of its wholly owned cable television subsidiaries
whereby CVI was renamed TWI Cable Inc. ("TWI Cable").

  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     TWI Cable has sold the Combined Systems to Renaissance Media Holdings LLC
("Renaissance") pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement with Renaissance, dated
November 14, 1997 (see Note 8). Accordingly, the accompanying combined financial
statements of the Combined Systems reflect the "carved out" historical financial
position, results of operations, cash flows and changes in net assets of the
operations of the Combined Systems as if they had been operating as a separate
company. Effective as of January 1, 1996, the Combined Systems' financial
statements reflect the new basis of accounting arising from Time Warner's merger
with CVI. Based on Time Warner's allocation of the purchase price, the assets
and liabilities of the Combined Systems were revalued resulting in goodwill
allocated to the Combined Systems of approximately $52,971,000, which is being
amortized over its estimated life of 40 years. In addition, approximately
$220,981,000 was allocated to cable television franchises and other intangible
assets, which is being amortized over periods up to 20 years.

     The combined statements have been adjusted to include the allocation of
certain corporate expenses incurred by Time Warner Cable and/or TWI Cable on the
Combined Systems' behalf, based upon the number of Combined System subscribers
managed by Time Warner Cable and the ratio of Combined System subscribers to
total TWI Cable subscribers, respectively. These allocations reflect all costs
of doing business that the Combined Systems would have incurred on a stand alone
basis as disclosed in Note 3. Management believes that these allocations are
reasonable.

  BASIS OF COMBINATION

     The combined financial statements include the assets, liabilities,
revenues, expenses, income, loss and cash flows of the Combined Systems, as if
the Combined Systems were a single company. Significant intercompany accounts
and transactions between the Combined Systems have been eliminated. Significant
accounts and transactions with Time Warner and its affiliates are disclosed as
related party transactions (see Note 3).

             NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

  USE OF ESTIMATES

     The preparation of combined financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the combined financial
statements and footnotes thereto. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

  CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

     A significant portion of the customer base is concentrated within the local
geographical area of each of the individual cable television systems. The
Combined Systems generally extend credit to customers and the ultimate
collection of accounts receivable could be affected by the local economy.
Management performs continuous credit evaluations of its customers and may
require cash in advance or other special arrangements from certain customers.
Management does not believe that there is any significant credit risk which
could have a material effect on the financial condition of the Combined Systems.

  REVENUE AND COSTS

     Subscriber fees are recorded as revenue in the period the related services
are provided and advertising revenues are recognized in the period the related
advertisements are exhibited. Rights to exhibit programming are purchased from
various cable networks. The costs of such rights are generally expensed as the
related services are made available to subscribers.

  FRANCHISE FEES

     Local governmental authorities impose franchise fees on the cable
television systems owned by the Combined Systems ranging up to a federally
mandated maximum of 5.0% of gross revenues. On a monthly basis, such fees are
collected from the Combined Systems' customers and such fees are not included as
revenue or as a franchise fee expense.

  ADVERTISING COSTS

     Advertising costs are expensed upon the first exhibition of the related
advertisements. Advertising expense amounted to $105,000 for the period from
January 1, 1998 through April 8, 1998.

  STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS

     The Combined Systems participate in a cash management system with
affiliates whereby cash receipts are transferred to a centralized bank account
from which centralized payments to various suppliers and creditors are made on
behalf of the Combined Systems. The excess of such cash receipts over payments
is included in net assets. Amounts shown as cash represent the Combined Systems'
net cash receipts not transferred to the centralized account as of December 31,
1996 and 1997. The average net intercompany payable balances was $166,522,000
for the period from January 1, 1998 through April 8, 1998.

     For purposes of this statement, cash and cash equivalents includes all
highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or
less.

</TABLE>

  INTANGIBLE ASSETS

     The Combined Systems amortized goodwill over periods up to 40 years and
cable television franchises over periods up to 20 years, both using the
straight-line method. For the period from January 1, 1998 through April 8, 1998
amortization of goodwill amounted to $360,000 and amortization of cable
television franchises amounted to $3,008,000. Accumulated amortization of
intangible assets amounted to $28,114,000 at April 8, 1998.

  IMPAIRMENT

     Management separately reviews the carrying value of acquired long-lived
assets for each acquired entity on a quarterly basis to determine whether an
impairment may exist. Management considers relevant cash flow and profitability
information, including estimated future operating results, trends and other
available information, in assessing whether the carrying value of long-lived
assets can be recovered. Upon a determination that the carrying value of
long-lived assets will not be recovered from the undiscounted future cash flows
of the acquired business, the carrying value of such long-lived assets would be
considered impaired and would be reduced by a charge to operations in the amount
of the impairment. An impairment charge is measured as a deficiency in estimated
discounted future cash flows of the acquired business to recover the carrying
value related to the long-lived assets.

  INCOME TAXES


     Income taxes have been provided using the liability method prescribed by
FASB Statement No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." Under the liability
method, deferred income taxes reflect tax carryforwards and the net tax effects
of temporary differences between the carrying

             NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

amount of assets and liabilities for financial statements and income tax
purposes, as determined under enacted tax laws and rates.

2.  EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

     Following the CVI Merger, the Combined Systems began participation in the
Time Warner Cable Pension Plan (the "Pension Plan"), a non-contributory defined
benefit pension plan, and the Time Warner Cable Employee Savings Plan (the
"Savings Plan") which are administered by a committee appointed by the Board of
Representatives of Time Warner Entertainment Company, L.P. ("TWE"), an affiliate
of Time Warner, and which cover substantially all employees.

     Benefits under the Pension Plan are determined based on formulas which
reflect an employee's years of service and compensation levels during the
employment period. Pension expense for the period from January 1, 1998 through
April 8, 1998 totaled $61,000.

     The Combined Systems' contributions to the Savings Plan are limited to
6.67% of an employee's eligible compensation during the plan year. The Board of
Representatives of TWE has the right in any year to set the maximum amount of
the Combined Systems' contribution. Defined contribution plan expense for the
period from January 1, 1998 through April 8, 1998 totaled $38,000.

     The Combined Systems have no material obligations for other post retirement
benefits.

3.  RELATED PARTIES

     In the normal course of conducting business, the Combined Systems had
various transactions with Time Warner and its affiliates, generally on terms
resulting from a negotiation between the affected units that in management's
view resulted in reasonable allocations.

  PROGRAMMING

     Included in the Combined Systems' operating expenses are charges for
programming and promotional services provided by Home Box Office, Turner
Broadcasting System, Inc. and other affiliates of Time Warner. These charges are
based on customary rates and are in the ordinary course of business. These
charges totaled $1,164,000 for the period from January 1, 1998 through April 8,
1998. Accrued related party expenses for these programming and promotional
services included in accrued programming expenses approximated $409,000 for the
period from January 1, 1998 through April 8, 1998.

  MANAGEMENT FEES

     TWI Cable entered into a management service arrangement with Time Warner
Cable ("TWC"), pursuant to which TWC is responsible for the management and
operation of TWI Cable, which includes the Combined Systems. The management fees
paid to TWC by TWI Cable are based on an allocation of the corporate expenses of
TWC's cable division in proportion to the respective number of subscribers of
all cable systems managed by TWC's cable division. The allocation of the TWI
Cable management fee to the Combined Systems approximated $486,000 for the
period from January 1, 1998 through April 8, 1998.

     Other divisional expenses allocated to the Combined Systems approximated
$299,000 for the period from January 1, 1998 through April 8, 1998.

4.  INTEREST EXPENSE

     Prior to the CVI Merger, the Jackson, Tennessee system was included in
Cablevision Industries Limited Partnership and Combined Entities ("CILP"). The
Jackson system was charged interest expense in connection with CILP's (a) senior
and subordinated bank credit agreements; and (b) senior unsecured subordinated
Series A and Series B notes payable to CVI. The remaining five systems
comprising the Combined Systems were included in Cablevision Industries of the
Southeast, Inc. and Combined Entities ("CIOS"). These systems were charged
interest expense in connection with CIOS's (a) bank revolving credit agreement;
and (b) junior and senior subordinated debt to CVI.

5.  INCOME TAXES

     Effective January 4, 1996, the Combined Systems are included in the
consolidated federal income tax return of Time Warner. Prior to January 4, 1996,
the Combined Systems were included in the consolidated federal income tax return
of CVI. The provision for income taxes has been calculated on a separate company
basis. The components of the provision for income taxes are as follows:

     The Combined Systems did not, and will not, have a tax sharing agreement
with either Time Warner, TWI Cable or CVI. Therefore, the Combined Systems have
not and will not be compensated for the utilization of the Combined Systems' tax
losses, by Time Warner, TWI Cable or CVI. In addition, the Combined Systems have
not and will not be required to make payments to either Time Warner or TWI Cable
for the current tax provision of the Combined Systems.

     The differences between the income tax provision expected at the U.S.
federal statutory income tax rate and the total income tax provision are due to
nondeductible goodwill amortization and state taxes.

</TABLE>

     On a separate company basis, the Combined Systems have tax loss
carryforwards of approximately $400,000 at April 8, 1998. However, if the
Combined Systems are acquired in an asset purchase, the tax loss carryforwards,
and net deferred tax liabilities relating to temporary differences will not
carry over to Renaissance (see Note 8).

6.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

     The Combined Systems had rental expense of approximately $244,000 for the
period from January 1, 1998 through April 8, 1998 under various lease and rental
agreements for offices, utility poles, warehouses and computer equipment. Future
minimum annual rental payments under noncancellable leases will approximate
$1,000,000 annually over the next five years.

     In exchange for certain flexibility in establishing cable rate pricing
structures for regulated services that went into effect on January 1, 1996, TWC
has agreed with the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") to invest in
certain upgrades to its cable infrastructure (consisting primarily of materials
and labor in connection with the plant upgrades up to 750 megahertz) over the
next three years (approximately $25 million at December 31, 1997). This
agreement with the FCC, which extends to the Combined Systems, will be assumed
by Renaissance as it relates to the Combined Systems in accordance with the
Asset Purchase Agreement.

                         REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

To the Board of Directors of
     TWI Cable Inc.

     We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of the Picayune
MS, Lafourche LA, St. Tammany LA, St. Landry LA, Pointe Coupee LA, and Jackson
TN cable television systems, (collectively, the "Combined Systems") included in
TWI Cable, Inc. ("TWI Cable"), as of December 31, 1996 and 1997, the related
combined statements of operations, changes in net assets and cash flows for the
years then ended. In addition, we have audited the combined statement of
operations and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 1995 of the
Predecessor Combined Systems. These combined financial statements are the
responsibility of the Combined Systems' or the Predecessor's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these combined financial statements
based on our audits.

     We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. 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 combined financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Combined
Systems, included in TWI Cable or the Predecessor, at December 31, 1996 and
1997, and the combined results of their operations and their cash flows for the
years ended December 31, 1995, 1996 and 1997, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

                     NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.  ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

  DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

     The cable television systems operating in the metropolitan areas of
Picayune, Mississippi; Lafourche, Louisiana; St. Tammany, Louisiana; St. Landry,
Louisiana; Pointe Coupee, Louisiana; and Jackson, Tennessee (the "Combined
Systems") are principally engaged in the cable television business under
non-exclusive franchise agreements, which expire at various times beginning in
1999. The Combined Systems' operations consist primarily of selling video
programming which is distributed to subscribers for a monthly fee through a
network of coaxial and fiber-optic cables.

     Prior to January 4, 1996, the Combined Systems were included in certain
subsidiaries of Cablevision Industries Corporation ("CVI"). On January 4, 1996,
CVI merged into a wholly owned subsidiary of Time Warner Inc. (the "CVI
Merger"). On October 1, 1996, Time Warner Inc. ("Time Warner") completed a
reorganization amongst certain of its wholly owned cable television subsidiaries
whereby CVI was renamed TWI Cable Inc. ("TWI Cable").

  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     TWI Cable has committed to sell the Combined Systems to Renaissance Media
Holdings LLC ("Renaissance") pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement with
Renaissance, dated November 14, 1997. Accordingly, the accompanying combined
financial statements of the Combined Systems reflect the "carved out" historical
financial position, results of operations, cash flows and changes in net assets
of the operations of the Combined Systems as if they had been operating as a
separate company. Effective as of January 1, 1996, the Combined Systems'
financial statements reflect the new basis of accounting arising from Time
Warner's merger with CVI. Based on Time Warner's allocation of the purchase
price, the assets and liabilities of the Combined Systems were revalued
resulting in goodwill allocated to the Combined Systems of approximately
$52,971,000, which is being amortized over its estimated life of 40 years. In
addition, approximately $220,981,000 was allocated to cable television
franchises and other intangible assets, which is being amortized over periods up
to 20 years. The Combined Systems' financial statements through December 31,
1995 reflect the historical cost of their assets and liabilities and results of
their operations.

     The combined statements have been adjusted to include the allocation of
certain corporate expenses incurred by Time Warner Cable and/or TWI Cable on the
Combined Systems' behalf, based upon the number of Combined System subscribers
managed by Time Warner Cable and the ratio of Combined System subscribers to
total TWI Cable subscribers, respectively. These allocations reflect all costs
of doing business that the Combined Systems would have incurred on a stand alone
basis as disclosed in Note 3. Management believes that these allocations are
reasonable.

  BASIS OF COMBINATION

     The combined financial statements include the assets, liabilities,
revenues, expenses, income, loss and cash flows of the Combined Systems, as if
the Combined Systems were a single company. Significant intercompany accounts
and transactions between the Combined Systems have been eliminated. Significant
accounts and transactions with Time Warner and its affiliates are disclosed as
related party transactions (see Note 3).

     The preparation of combined financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the combined financial
statements and footnotes thereto. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

  CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

     A significant portion of the customer base is concentrated within the local
geographical area of each of the individual cable television systems. The
Combined Systems generally extend credit to customers and the ultimate
collection of accounts receivable could be affected by the local economy.
Management performs continuous credit evaluations of its customers and may
require cash in advance or other special arrangements from certain customers.
Management does not believe that there is any significant credit risk which
could have a material effect on the financial condition of the Combined Systems.

  REVENUE AND COSTS

     Subscriber fees are recorded as revenue in the period the related services
are provided and advertising revenues are recognized in the period the related
advertisements are exhibited. Rights to exhibit programming are purchased from
various cable networks. The costs of such rights are generally expensed as the
related services are made available to subscribers.

  FRANCHISE FEES

     Local governmental authorities impose franchise fees on the cable
television systems owned by the Combined Systems ranging up to a federally
mandated maximum of 5.0% of gross revenues. On a monthly basis, such fees are
collected from the Combined Systems' customers. Prior to January 1997, franchise
fees were not separately itemized on customers' bills. Such fees were considered
part of the monthly charge for basic services and equipment, and therefore were
reported as revenue and expense in the Combined Systems' financial results.
Management began the process of itemizing such fees on all customers' bills
beginning in January 1997. In conjunction with itemizing these charges, the
Combined Systems began separately collecting the franchise fee on all revenues
subject to franchise fees. As a result, such fees are no longer included as
revenue or as franchise fee expense. The net effect of this change is a
reduction in 1997 revenue and franchise fee expense of approximately $1,500,000
versus the comparable period in 1996.

  ADVERTISING COSTS

     Advertising costs are expensed upon the first exhibition of the related
advertisements. Advertising expense amounted to $308,000, $632,000 and $510,000
for the years ended 1995, 1996 and 1997, respectively.

  STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS

     The Combined Systems participate in a cash management system with
affiliates whereby cash receipts are transferred to a centralized bank account
from which centralized payments to various suppliers and creditors are made on
behalf of the Combined Systems. The excess of

such cash receipts over payments is included in net assets. Amounts shown as
cash represent the Combined Systems' net cash receipts not transferred to the
centralized account as of December 31, 1996 and 1997. The average net
intercompany payable balances were $173,348,000 and $170,438,000 for the years
ended December 31, 1996 and 1997, respectively.

     For purposes of this statement, cash and cash equivalents includes all
highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or
less.

  PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

     Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Additions to property,
plant and equipment generally include material, labor, overhead and interest.

  INTANGIBLE ASSETS

     During 1996 and 1997, the Combined Systems amortized goodwill over periods
up to 40 years and cable television franchises over periods up to 20 years, both
using the straight-line method. Prior to the CVI Merger, goodwill and cable
television franchises were amortized over 15 years using the straight-line
method. For the years ended 1995, 1996, and 1997, amortization of goodwill
amounted to $8,199,000, $1,325,000, and $1,325,000, respectively, and
amortization of cable television franchises amounted to $1,284,000, $11,048,000,
and $11,048,000, respectively. Accumulated amortization of intangible assets at
December 31, 1996 and 1997 amounted to $12,373,000 and $24,746,000,
respectively.

  IMPAIRMENT

     Management separately reviews the carrying value of acquired long-lived
assets for each acquired entity on a quarterly basis to determine whether an
impairment may exist. Management considers relevant cash flow and profitability
information, including estimated future operating results, trends and other
available information, in assessing whether the carrying value of long-lived
assets can be recovered. Upon a determination that the carrying value of
long-lived assets

             NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

will not be recovered from the undiscounted future cash flows of the acquired
business, the carrying value of such long-lived assets would be considered
impaired and would be reduced by a charge to operations in the amount of the
impairment. An impairment charge is measured as a deficiency in estimated
discounted future cash flows of the acquired business to recover the carrying
value related to the long-lived assets.

  INCOME TAXES


     Income taxes have been provided using the liability method prescribed by
FASB Statement No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." Under the liability
method, deferred income taxes reflect tax carryforwards and the net tax effects
of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities
for financial statements and income tax purposes, as determined under enacted
tax laws and rates.


2. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

     Following the CVI Merger, the Combined Systems began participation in the
Time Warner Cable Pension Plan (the "Pension Plan"), a non-contributory defined
benefit pension plan, and the Time Warner Cable Employee Savings Plan (the
"Savings Plan") which are administered by a committee appointed by the Board of
Representatives of Time Warner Entertainment Company, L.P. ("TWE"), an affiliate
of Time Warner, and which cover substantially all employees.

     Benefits under the Pension Plan are determined based on formulas which
reflect an employee's years of service and compensation levels during the
employment period. Pension expense for the years ended December 31, 1996 and
1997 totaled $184,000 and $192,000, respectively.

     The Combined Systems' contributions to the Savings Plan are limited to
6.67% of an employee's eligible compensation during the plan year. The Board of
Representatives of TWE has the right in any year to set the maximum amount of
the Combined Systems' contribution. Defined contribution plan expense for the
years ended December 31, 1996 and 1997 totaled $107,000 and $117,000,
respectively.

     Prior to the CVI Merger, substantially all employees were eligible to
participate in a profit sharing plan or a defined contribution plan. The profit
sharing plan provided that the Combined Systems may contribute, at the
discretion of their board of directors, an amount up to 15% of compensation for
all eligible participants out of its accumulated earnings and profits, as
defined. Profit sharing expense amounted to approximately $31,000 for the year
ended December 31, 1995.

     The defined contribution plan contained a qualified cash or deferred
arrangement pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section 401(k). This plan provided
that eligible employees may contribute from 2% to 10% of their compensation to
the plan. The Combined Systems matched contributions of up to 4% of the
employees' compensation. The expense for this plan amounted to approximately
$96,000 for the year ended December 31, 1995.

     The Combined Systems have no material obligations for other post retirement
benefits.

             NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

3. RELATED PARTIES

     In the normal course of conducting business, the Combined Systems had
various transactions with Time Warner and its affiliates, generally on terms
resulting from a negotiation between the affected units that in management's
view resulted in reasonable allocations.

  PROGRAMMING

     Included in the Combined Systems' 1996 and 1997 operating expenses are
charges for programming and promotional services provided by Home Box Office,
Turner Broadcasting System, Inc. and other affiliates of Time Warner. These
charges are based on customary rates and are in the ordinary course of business.
For the year ended December 31, 1996 and 1997, these charges totaled $3,260,000
and $3,458,000, respectively. Accrued related party expenses for these
programming and promotional services included in accrued programming expenses
approximated $327,000 and $291,000 for the years ended December 31, 1996 and
1997, respectively. There were no such programming and promotional service
related party transactions in 1995.

  MANAGEMENT FEES

     TWI Cable entered into a management service arrangement with Time Warner
Cable ("TWC"), pursuant to which TWC is responsible for the management and
operation of TWI Cable, which includes the Combined Systems. The management fees
paid to TWC by TWI Cable are based on an allocation of the corporate expenses of
TWC's cable division in proportion to the respective number of subscribers of
all cable systems managed by TWC's cable division. The allocation of the TWI
Cable management fee to the Combined Systems approximated $1,432,000 and
$1,715,000 for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1997, respectively.

     Other divisional expenses allocated to the Combined Systems approximated
$1,301,000 and $1,067,000 for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1997,
respectively.

4. INTEREST EXPENSE

     Prior to the CVI Merger, the Jackson, Tennessee system was included in
Cablevision Industries Limited Partnership and Combined Entities ("CILP"). The
Jackson system was charged interest expense in connection with CILP's (a) senior
and subordinated bank credit agreements; and (b) senior unsecured subordinated
Series A and Series B notes payable to CVI. The remaining five systems
comprising the Combined Systems were included in Cablevision Industries of the
Southeast, Inc. and Combined Entities ("CIOS"). These systems were charged
interest expense in connection with CIOS's (a) bank revolving credit agreement;
and (b) junior and senior subordinated debt to CVI.

5. INCOME TAXES

     Effective January 4, 1996, the Combined Systems are included in the
consolidated federal income tax return of Time Warner. Prior to January 4, 1996,
the Combined Systems were included in the consolidated federal income tax return
of CVI. The provision (benefit) for income

     The Combined Systems did not, and will not, have a tax sharing agreement
with either Time Warner, TWI Cable or CVI. Therefore, the Combined Systems have
not and will not be compensated for the utilization of the Combined Systems' tax
losses, by Time Warner, TWI Cable or CVI. In addition, the Combined Systems have
not and will not be required to make payments to either Time Warner or TWI Cable
for the current tax provision of the Combined Systems.

     The differences between the income tax provision (benefit) expected at the
U.S. federal statutory income tax rate and the total income tax provision
(benefit) are due to nondeductible goodwill amortization and state taxes.

     Significant components of the Combined Systems' deferred tax assets and
liabilities, as calculated on a separate company basis, are as follows:

     On a separate company basis, the Combined Systems have tax loss
carryforwards of approximately $4.8 million at December 31, 1997. However, if
the Combined Systems are acquired in an asset purchase, the tax loss
carryforwards, and net deferred tax liabilities relating to temporary
differences will not carry over to Renaissance (see Note 8).

6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

     The Combined Systems had rental expense of approximately $642,000,
$824,000, and $843,000 for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1996 and 1997,
respectively, under various lease and rental agreements for offices, utility
poles, warehouses and computer equipment. Future minimum annual rental payments
under noncancellable leases will approximate $1,000,000 annually over the next
five years.

     In exchange for certain flexibility in establishing cable rate pricing
structures for regulated services that went into effect on January 1, 1996, TWC
has agreed with the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") to invest in
certain upgrades to its cable infrastructure (consisting primarily of materials
and labor in connection with the plant upgrades up to 750 megahertz) over the
next three years (approximately $22 million). This agreement with the FCC, which
extends to the Combined Systems, will be assumed by Renaissance as it relates to
the Combined Systems in accordance with the Asset Purchase Agreement.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

The Partners
Helicon Partners I, L.P.:

We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of Helicon Partners I,
L.P. and affiliates as of December 31, 1997 and 1998, and the related combined
statements of operations, changes in partners' deficit, and cash flows for each
of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1998. These combined
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these combined financial statements
based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. 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 combined financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Helicon Partners I,
L.P. and affiliates as of December 31, 1997 and 1998 and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period
ended December 31, 1998, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

                     NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                        DECEMBER 31, 1996, 1997 AND 1998

1.  ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS

     Helicon Partners I, L.P. ("the Partnership") was organized as a limited
partnership on November 30, 1994 under the laws of the State of Delaware. On
April 8, 1996, Baum Investments, Inc. acquired a 1% general partnership interest
in the Partnership through an initial capital contribution of $1,500 and the
existing limited partners of The Helicon Group, L.P. ("THGLP"), formed in 1993,
exchanged their limited partnership interests in THGLP for all Class A Common
Limited Partnership Interests and Preferred Limited Partnership Interests in the
Partnership. As a result of this exchange, THGLP became 99% owned by the
Partnership. The Partnership now owns all of the limited partnership interests
in THGLP and Baum Investments, Inc. continues to be the general partner of THGLP
and to own a 1% general partnership interest in THGLP. The Partnership also owns
a 99% interest and THGLP a 1% interest in HPI Acquisition Co., LLC ("HPIAC"), a
Delaware limited liability company formed on February 7, 1996. The Partnership
also owned an 89% limited partnership interest and Baum Investments, Inc. a 1%
general partnership interest in Helicon OnLine, L. P. ("HOL"), a Delaware
limited partnership formed May 31, 1997. On June 29, 1998, the net assets of HOL
were transferred to THGLP in settlement of the inter-company loans THGLP had
made to HOL. The Partnership, THGLP, HPIAC and HOL are referred to collectively
herein as the Company.

     On March 22, 1999, Helicon Partners I, L. P. (HPI), Baum Investments, Inc.
and all the holders of partnership interests in HPI entered into a purchase
agreement by and among Charter Communications, Inc, Charter Communications, LLC
and Charter Helicon, LLC (collectively the "Charter Entities") providing for the
sale of all such partnership interests and Helicon Corp.'s interest in the
management agreements with THGLP and HPIAC to the Charter Entities. The sale
price is $550 million which amount will be reduced by any outstanding
indebtedness assumed by the Charter Entities.

     The Company operates cable television systems located in Pennsylvania, West
Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Louisiana, Vermont, New Hampshire,
Georgia and Tennessee. The Company also offers a broad range of Internet access
service, including dial-up access, dedicated high speed access, both two-way and
asymmetrical ("Hybrid"), high speed cable modem access, World Wide Web design
and hosting services and other value added services such as paging and private
network systems within the Company's cable service and contiguous areas.

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a) PRINCIPLES OF COMBINATION

     The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of the
Partnership, THGLP and HPIAC and HOL which have been combined because of common
ownership and control. They also reflect the accounts of THGLP's subsidiary,
Helicon Capital Corp. ("HCC"), which has nominal assets and no operations since
its incorporation. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated in combination.

b) PARTNERSHIP PROFITS, LOSSES AND DISTRIBUTIONS

     Under the terms of the partnership agreements of the Partnership and THGLP,
profits, losses and distributions will be made to the general and Class A
Limited Partners pro-rata based on their respective partnership interest.

                                      F-152
<PAGE>   322
                    HELICON PARTNERS I, L.P. AND AFFILIATES

             NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

     Holders of Preferred Limited Partnership Interests are entitled to an
aggregate preference on liquidation of $6,250,000 plus cumulative in-kind
distributions of additional Preferred Limited Partnership interests at an annual
rate of 12%.

c) REVENUE RECOGNITION

     Revenue is recognized as services are provided to subscribers. Subscription
revenues billed in advance for services are deferred and recorded as income in
the period in which services are rendered.

d) Property, Plant and Equipment

     Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost and are depreciated using
the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective
assets.

e) INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND DEFERRED COSTS

     Intangible assets and deferred costs are carried at cost and are amortized
using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective
assets. The Company periodically reviews the amortization periods of their
intangible assets and deferred costs. The Company evaluates whether there has
been a permanent impairment in the value of these assets by considering such
factors including projected undiscounted cash flows, current market conditions
and changes in the cable television industry that would impact the
recoverability of such assets, among other things.

f) INCOME TAXES

     No provision for Federal or state income taxes has been made in the
accompanying combined financial statements since any liability for such income
taxes is that of the partners and not of the Partnership or its affiliates.
Certain assets have a basis for income tax purposes that differs from the
carrying value for financial reporting purposes, primarily due to differences in
depreciation methods. As a result of these differences, at December 31, 1997 and
1998 the net carrying value of these assets for financial reporting purposes
exceeded the net basis for income tax purposes by approximately $22 million and
$27 million respectively.

g) CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

     Cash and cash equivalents, consisting of amounts on deposit in money market
accounts, checking accounts and certificates of deposit, were $4,372,281 and
$5,130,561 at December 31, 1997 and 1998, respectively.

h) USE OF ESTIMATES

     Management of the Company has made a number of estimates and assumptions
relating to the reporting of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and the
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these combined
financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

i) INTEREST RATE CAP AGREEMENTS

     The cost paid is amortized over the life of the agreements.

             NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

j) DISCLOSURE ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Cash and Cash Equivalents, Receivables, Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses

     The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for cash
and cash equivalents, current receivables, notes receivable, accounts payable,
and accrued expenses approximate fair values.

Senior Secured Notes and Long-term Debt

     For the Senior Secured Notes, fair values are based on quoted market
prices. The fair market value at December 31, 1997 and 1998 was approximately
$123,000,000 and $120,000,000, respectively. For long-term debt, their values
approximate carrying value due to the short-term maturity of the debt and/or
fluctuating interest.

Comprehensive Income

     On January 1, 1998, the Company adopted SFAS No. 130, Reporting
Comprehensive Income. SFAS No. 130 establishes standards for reporting and
presentation of comprehensive income and its components in a full set of
financial statements. Comprehensive income consists of net income and net
unrealized gains (losses) on securities and is presented in the consolidated
statements of stockholder's equity and comprehensive income. The Statement
requires only additional disclosures in the consolidated financial statements;
it does not affect the Company's financial position or results of operations.
The Company has no items that qualify as comprehensive income.

3.  ACQUISITIONS

                    HELICON PARTNERS I, L.P. AND AFFILIATES

             NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

6.  TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

     Amounts due from/to affiliates result from management fees, expense
allocations and temporary non-interest bearing loans. The affiliates are related
to the Company through common-ownership.

     The Partnership is managed by Helicon Corp., an affiliated management
company. During 1996, 1997 and 1998, the Partnership was charged management fees
of $2,103,077, $2,997,872, and $3,496,271, respectively. In 1997 and 1998,
$2,685,172 and $3,231,362 of the management fees were paid and $312,700 and
$172,476 were deferred, in accordance with the terms of the Partnership's credit
agreements, respectively. Management fees are calculated based on the gross
revenues of the systems. Additionally, during 1996, 1997 and 1998, THGLP was
also charged $980,000, $713,906, and $1,315,315, respectively, for certain costs
incurred by this related party on their behalf.

     In May 1997, immediately after the formation of HOL, HPI sold 10% of its
limited partner interest in HOL to certain employees of Helicon Corp. Such
interests were sold at HPI's proportionate carrying value of HOL of $83,631 in
exchange for notes receivable from these individuals. These notes are due upon
the liquidation of HOL or the sale of all or substantially all of its assets.

     On June 26, 1998, the notes were cancelled in consideration of the return
by the Helicon employees of their 10% limited partnership interests.

7.  DUE TO PRINCIPAL OWNER

     Mr. Theodore Baum, directly or indirectly, is the principal owner of 96.17%
of the general and limited partnership interests of the Partnership (the
"Principal Owner"). Due to Principal Owner consists of $5,000,000 at December
31, 1997 and 1998 payable by THGLP. Beginning on November 3, 1993, interest on
the $5,000,000 due to the Principal Owner did not accrue and in accordance with
the provisions of the Senior Secured Notes was not paid for twenty four months.
Interest resumed on November 3, 1995 (see Note 8). The principal may only be
repaid thereafter subject to the passage of certain limiting tests under the
covenants of the Senior Secured Notes. Prior to the issuance of the Senior
Secured Notes, amounts due to Principal Owner bore interest at varying rates per
annum based on the prime rate and were due on demand. Interest expense includes
$521,701 in 1996 and $530,082 in 1997 and $524,880 in 1998 related to this debt.

8.  SENIOR SECURED NOTES

     On November 3, 1993, THGLP and HCC (the "Issuers"), through a private
placement offering, issued $115,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 11% Senior
Secured Notes due 2003 (the "Senior Secured Notes"), secured by substantially
all the assets of THGLP. The Senior Secured Notes were issued at a substantial
discount from their principal amount and generated net proceeds to the Issuers
of approximately $105,699,000. Interest is payable on a semi-annual basis in
arrears on November 1 and May 1, beginning on May 1, 1994. Until November 1,
1996 the Senior Secured Notes bore interest at the rate of 9% per annum. After
November 1, 1996, the Senior Secured Notes bear interest at the rate of 11% per
annum. The discount on the Senior Secured Notes has been amortized over the term
of the Senior Secured Notes so as to result in an effective interest rate of 11%
per annum.

             NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

     The Senior Secured Notes may be redeemed at the option of the Issuers in
whole or in part at any time on or after November 1, 1997 at the redemption
price of 108% reducing ratably to 100% of the principal amount, in each case
together with accrued interest to the redemption date. The Issuers are required
to redeem $25,000,000 principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes on each of
November 1, 2001 and November 1, 2002. The indenture under which the Senior
Secured Notes were issued contains various restrictive covenants, the more
significant of which are, limitations on distributions to partners, the
incurrence or guarantee of indebtedness, the payment of management fees, other
transactions with officers, directors and affiliates, and the issuance of
certain types of equity interests or distributions relating thereto.

9.  LOANS PAYABLE TO BANKS

     On July 12, 1996, HPIAC entered into $85,000,000 of senior secured credit
facilities ("Facilities") with a group of banks and The First National Bank of
Chicago, as agent. The Facilities were comprised of a $55,000,000 senior secured
two and one-half year revolving credit facility, converting on December 31, 1998
to a five and one-half year amortizing term loan due June 30, 2004 ("Facility
A"); and, a $30,000,000 senior secured, amortizing, multiple draw nine year term
loan facility due June 30, 2005 ("Facility B"). The Facilities financed certain
permitted acquisitions, transaction expenses and general corporate purposes.
Interest on outstanding borrowings was payable at specified margins over either
LIBOR or the higher of the corporate base rate of The First National Bank of
Chicago or the rates on overnight Federal funds transactions with members of the
Federal Reserve System. The margins varied based on the Company's total leverage
ratio, as defined, at the time of an advance. As of December 31, 1997, the
amounts outstanding were $30,000,000 under Facility B and $35,500,000
outstanding under Facility A. Interest was payable at LIBOR plus 3.50% for
Facility B and LIBOR plus 3.00% for Facility A. In addition, HPIAC paid a
commitment fee of .5% of the unused balance of the Facilities.

     On December 15, 1998, the Facilities were repaid in full together with
accrued interest thereon from the proceeds of the new credit agreements (see
below).

     In connection with the early retirement of the aforementioned bank debt,
HPIAC wrote off related unamortized deferred financing costs totaling
$1,657,320. Such amount has been classified as an extraordinary item in the
accompanying 1998 combined statement of operations.

     In connection with the aforementioned Facilities, HPIAC entered into an
interest rate cap agreement to reduce its exposure to interest rate risk.
Interest rate cap transactions generally involve the exchange of fixed and
floating rate interest payment obligations and provide for a ceiling on interest
to be paid, respectively, without the exchange of the underlying notional
principal amount. These types of transactions involve risk of counterpart
nonperformance under the terms of the contract. At December 31, 1997, HPIAC had
cap agreements with aggregate notional amounts of $42,500,000 expiring through
March 29, 2000. On December 15, 1998, in connection with the early retirement of
the related bank debt, the cap agreements were terminated and HPIAC wrote off
the unamortized costs of these cap agreements.

     On December 15, 1998, HPIAC entered into credit agreements with a group of
banks and Paribas, as agent, providing maximum borrowings of $110,000,000 (the
1998 Credit Facilities). The agreements include (i) a senior secured Credit
Agreement consisting of a $35,000,000 A Term Loan, maturing on December 31,
2005, $45,000,000 B Term Loan, maturing on December 31, 2006 and a $10,000,000
Revolving Commitment, maturing on December 31, 2005

             NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

and (ii) a Loan Agreement consisting of a $20,000,000 Hybrid Facility, maturing
on December 31, 2007.

     As of December 31, 1998, the A Term Loan, B Term Loan and Hybrid Facility
were fully drawn down and there was nothing outstanding under the Revolving
Commitment. The principal cash payments required under the Company's credit
agreements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002 and
2003 are estimated to aggregate $0, $812,500, $3,950,000, $5,700,000 and
$7,450,000, respectively.

     Interest is payable at LIBOR plus an applicable margin, which is based on a
ratio of loans outstanding to annualized EBITDAM, as defined in the agreement
and can not exceed 3.00% for A Term Loan and Revolving Commitments, 3.25% for B
Term Loan and 4.50% for the Hybrid Facility. In addition, the Company pays a
commitment fee of .50% of the unused balance of the Revolving Commitment.

     The 1998 Credit Facilities are secured by a first perfected security
interest in all of the assets of HPIAC and a pledge of all equity interests of
HPIAC. The credit agreement contains various restrictive covenants that include
the achievement of certain financial ratios relating to interest, fixed charges,
leverage, limitations on capital expenditures, incurrence or guarantee of
indebtedness, other transactions with affiliates and distributions to members.
In addition, management fees in the aggregate cannot exceed 5% of gross revenues
of HPIAC.

     On June 26, 1997, THGLP entered into a $20,000,000 senior secured credit
facility with Banque Paribas, as Agent (the 1997 Credit Facility). On January 5,
1999, the 1997 Credit Facility was restated and amended. The facility is
non-amortizing and is due November 1, 2000. Borrowings under the facility
financed the acquisition of certain cable television assets in North Carolina
(see note 3). Interest on the $20,000,000 outstanding is payable at specified
margins over either LIBOR or the rate of interest publicly announced in New York
City by The Chase Manhattan Bank from time to time as its prime commercial
lending rate. The margins vary based on the THGLP's total leverage ratio, as
defined, at the time of an advance. Currently interest is payable at LIBOR plus
2.75%.

     The 1997 Credit Facility is secured by a first perfected security interest
in all of the assets of the Partnership and a pledge of all equity interests of
the THGLP. The credit agreement contains various restrictive covenants that
include the achievement of certain financial ratios relating to interest, fixed
charges, leverage, limitations on capital expenditures, incurrence or guarantee
of indebtedness, transactions with affiliates, distributions to members and
management fees which accrue at 5% of gross revenues.

     Also included in loans payable to banks is a mortgage note of $266,922
payable to a bank that is secured by THGLP's office building in Vermont. The
interest is payable at Prime plus 1% and the mortgage note is due March 1, 2012.

10.  SUBORDINATED NOTES AND REDEEMABLE PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS

     In April 1996 the Partnership sold to unrelated investors, $34,000,000
aggregate principal amount of its 12% Subordinated Notes (the "Subordinated
Notes") and warrants to purchase 2,419.1 units (the "Units") of Class B Common
Limited Partnership Interests representing in the aggregate 24.191% of the
outstanding limited partner interests of the Partnership on a fully diluted
basis (the "Warrants"). Of the $34,000,000 of gross proceeds, $3,687,142 was
determined to be the value of the Warrants, and $30,312,858 was allocated to the
Subordinated Notes. The discount on the Subordinated Notes is being amortized
over the term of these Notes.

     The Subordinated Notes are subordinated to the senior indebtedness of the
Partnership and are due April 1, 2004. Interest is payable semi-annually on each
October 1 and April 1 in cash or through the issuance of additional Subordinated
Notes, at the option of the Partnership. In October 1996, April 1997, October
1997, April 1998 and October 1998, the Partnership elected to satisfy interest
due through the issuance of $1,945,667, $2,156,740, $2,037,079, $2,408,370 and
$2,552,871, respectively, additional Subordinated Notes. After September 2001, a
holder or holders of no less than 33 1/3% of the aggregate principal amount of
the Subordinated Notes can require the Partnership to repurchase their
Subordinated Notes at a price equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued
interest. The Partnership has an option to redeem the Subordinated Notes at 102%
of the aggregate principal amount after the fifth anniversary of their issuance,
at 101% of the aggregate principal amount after the sixth anniversary of
issuance and at 100% of the aggregate principal amount after the seventh
anniversary of issuance.

     Holders of the Warrants have the right to acquire the Units at any time for
a price of $1,500 per Unit. After September 2001, a holder or holders of at
least 33 1/3% of the Warrants can require the Partnership to either purchase
their Warrants at their interest in the Net Equity Value of the Partnership or
seek a purchaser for all of the assets or equity interests of the Partnership.
Net Equity Value pursuant to the terms of the underlying agreements is the
estimated amount of cash that would be available for distribution to the
Partnership interests upon a sale of all of the assets of the Partnership and
its subsequent dissolution and liquidation. The Net Equity Value is the amount
agreed to by the Partnership and 66 2/3% of the holders of the Subordinated
Notes and Warrants or, absent such agreement, determined through a specified
appraisal process.

     The Partnership estimated the Net Equity Value of the Warrants to be
approximately $43,250,000 at December 31, 1998 and $16,750,000 at December 31,
1997. Such estimate as of December 31, 1998 reflects the amount that the holders
of the warrants have agreed to accept for their interests assuming the proposed
sale of all of the interests of the partnership is consummated (see note 14).
The increase in the estimated Net Equity Value over the original

carrying value of the Warrants is being accreted evenly over the period
beginning with the date of the increase and September 2001. Such accretion is
being reflected in the accompanying financial statements as an increase in the
carrying value of the Warrants and a corresponding reduction in the carrying
value of the capital accounts of the General and Class A Limited Partners.

     The agreements underlying the Subordinated Notes and the Warrants contain
various restrictive covenants that include limitations on incurrence or
guarantee of indebtedness, transactions with affiliates, and distributions to
partners. In addition, management fees in the aggregate cannot exceed 5% of
gross revenues of the Partnership.

12.  PARTNERS' DEFICIT

     During 1993, the Principal Owner contributed a $6,500,000 unsecured,
non-interest bearing personal promissory note due on demand to the general
partner of THGLP. Additionally, the Principal Owner contributed to THGLP an
unsecured, non-interest bearing personal promissory note in the aggregate
principal amount of $24,000,000 (together with the $6,500,000 note, the "Baum
Notes"). The Baum Notes have been issued for the purpose of THGLP's credit
enhancement. Although the Baum Notes are unconditional, they do not become
payable except (i) in increasing amounts presently up to $19,500,000 and in
installments thereafter to a maximum of $30,500,000 on December 16, 1996 and
(ii) at such time after such dates as THGLP's creditors shall have exhausted all

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Partners of InterMedia Partners
and InterMedia Capital Partners IV, L.P.

     In our opinion, the accompanying combined balance sheets and the related
combined statements of operations, of changes in equity and of cash flows
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of InterMedia
Cable Systems (comprised of components of InterMedia Partners and InterMedia
Capital Partners IV, L.P.), at December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the results of
their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles. These financial statements are
the responsibility of the management of InterMedia Partners and InterMedia
Capital Partners IV, L.P.; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these
statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards which
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, assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management and evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

THE CHARTER TRANSACTIONS

     InterMedia Partners, a California limited partnership ("IP-I"), and
InterMedia Capital Partners IV, L.P., a California limited partnership,
("ICP-IV", together with IP-I, "InterMedia") are affiliated through common
control and management. Robin Media Group, Inc., a Nevada corporation, ("RMG")
is a majority owned subsidiary of ICP-IV. On April 20, 1999, InterMedia and
certain of its affiliates entered into agreements (the "Agreements") with
affiliates of Charter Communications, Inc. ("Charter") to sell and exchange
certain of their cable television systems ("the Charter Transactions").

     Specifically, ICP-IV and its affiliates have agreed to sell certain of
their cable television systems in Tennessee and Gainsville, Georgia through a
combination of asset sales and the sale of its equity interests in RMG, and to
exchange their systems in and around Greenville and Spartanburg, South Carolina
for Charter systems located in Indiana, Kentucky, Utah and Montana. Immediately
upon Charter's acquisition of RMG, IP-I will exchange its cable television
systems in Athens, Georgia, Asheville and Marion, North Carolina and Cleveland,
Tennessee for RMG's cable television systems located in middle Tennessee.


     The Charter Transactions are expected to close during the third or fourth
quarter of 1999. The cable systems retained by Charter upon consummation of the
Charter Transactions, together with RMG, are referred to as the "InterMedia
Cable Systems," or the "Systems."


PRESENTATION

     The accompanying combined financial statements represent the financial
position of the InterMedia Cable Systems as of December 31, 1998 and 1997 and
the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended.
The Systems being sold or exchanged do not individually or collectively comprise
a separate legal entity. Accordingly, the combined financial statements have
been carved-out from the historical accounting records of InterMedia.

CARVE-OUT METHODOLOGY

     Throughout the periods covered by the combined financial statements, the
individual cable systems were operated and accounted for separately. However,
the Charter Transactions exclude certain systems (the "Excluded Systems") which
were operated as part of the Marion, North Carolina and western Tennessee
systems throughout 1997 and 1998. For purposes of carving out and excluding the
results of operations and financial position of the Excluded Systems from the
combined financial statements, management has estimated the revenues, expenses,
assets and liabilities associated with each Excluded System based on the ratio
of each Excluded System's basic subscribers to the total basic subscribers
served by the Marion, North Carolina and western Tennessee systems,
respectively. Management believes the basis used for these allocations is
reasonable. The Systems' results of operations are not necessarily indicative of
future operating results or the results that would have occurred if the Systems
were a separate legal entity.

     Management and consulting fees represent an allocation of management fees
charged to IP-I and ICP-IV by InterMedia Capital Management, a California
limited partnership ("ICM") and

InterMedia Management, Inc. ("IMI"), respectively. Prior to January 1, 1998,
InterMedia Capital Management IV, L.P. ("ICM-IV") provided such management and
consulting services to ICP-IV. ICM and ICM-IV are limited partners of IP-I and
ICP-IV, respectively. IMI is the managing member of each of the general partners
of IP-I and ICP-IV. These fees are charged at a fixed amount per annum and have
been allocated to the Systems based upon the allocated contributed capital of
the individual systems as compared to the total contributed capital of
InterMedia's subsidiaries.

     As more fully described in Note 9 -- "Related Party Transactions," certain
administrative services are also provided by IMI and are charged to all
affiliates based on relative basic subscriber percentages.

CASH AND INTERCOMPANY ACCOUNTS

     Under InterMedia's centralized cash management system, cash requirements of
its individual operating units were generally provided directly by InterMedia
and the cash generated or used by the Systems was transferred to/from
InterMedia, as appropriate, through intercompany accounts. The intercompany
account balances between InterMedia and the individual operating units, except
RMG's intercompany note payable to InterMedia Partners IV, L.P. ("IP-IV") as
described in Note 7 -- "Note Payable to InterMedia Partners IV, L.P." are not
intended to be settled. Accordingly, the balances, other than RMG's note payable
to IP-IV, are included in equity and all net cash generated from operations,
investing activities and financing activities have been included in the Systems'
net contribution from parent in the combined statements of cash flows.


     IP-I and ICP-IV or its subsidiaries maintain all external debt to fund and
manage InterMedia's operations on a centralized basis. The combined financial
statements present only the debt and related interest expense of RMG, which is
assumed and repaid by Charter pursuant to the Charter Transactions. See Note
7 -- "Note Payable to InterMedia Partners IV, L.P." Debt, unamortized debt issue
costs and interest expense related to the financing of the cable systems not
owned by RMG have not been allocated to the InterMedia Cable Systems. As such,
the level of debt, unamortized debt issue costs and related interest expense
presented in the combined financial statements are not representative of the
debt that would be required or interest expense incurred if InterMedia Cable
Systems were a separate legal entity.


2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

REVENUE RECOGNITION

     Cable television service revenue is recognized in the period in which
services are provided to customers. Deferred revenue generally represents
revenue billed in advance and deferred until cable service is provided.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

     Additions to property and equipment, including new customer installations,
are recorded at cost. Self-constructed fixed assets include materials, labor and
overhead. Costs of disconnecting and reconnecting cable service are expensed.
Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.
Expenditures for major renewals and improvements are capitalized. Capitalized
fixed assets are written down to recoverable values whenever recover-

ability through operations or sale of the systems becomes doubtful. Gains and
losses on disposal of property and equipment are included in the Systems'
statements of operations when the assets are sold or retired from service.

     Depreciation is computed using the double-declining balance method over the
following estimated useful lives:

INTANGIBLE ASSETS

     The Systems have franchise rights to operate cable television systems in
various towns and political subdivisions. Franchise rights are being amortized
over the lesser of the remaining franchise lives or the base ten and twelve-year
terms of IP-I and ICP-IV, respectively. The remaining lives of the franchises
range from one to eighteen years.

     Goodwill represents the excess of acquisition costs over the fair value of
net tangible and franchise assets acquired and liabilities assumed and is being
amortized on a straight-line basis over the base ten or twelve-year term of IP-I
and ICP-IV, respectively.

     Capitalized intangibles are written down to recoverable values whenever
recoverability through operations or sale of the systems becomes doubtful. Each
year, the Systems evaluate the recoverability of the carrying value of their
intangible assets by assessing whether the projected cash flows, including
projected cash flows from sale of the systems, is sufficient to recover the
unamortized costs of these assets.

INCOME TAXES

     Income taxes reported in InterMedia Cable Systems' combined financial
statements represent the tax effects of RMG's results of operations. RMG as a
corporation is the only entity within InterMedia Cable Systems which reports a
provision/benefit for income taxes. No provision or benefit for income taxes is
reported by any of the other cable systems within the InterMedia Cable Systems
structure because these systems are currently owned by various partnerships,
and, as such, the tax effects of these cable systems' results of operations
accrue to the partners.

     RMG accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability approach which
requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the tax
consequences of temporary differences by applying enacted statutory tax rates
applicable to future years to differences between the financial statement
carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities.

USE OF ESTIMATES IN THE PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

     The carrying value of receivables, payables, deferred revenue and accrued
liabilities approximates fair value due to their short maturity.


NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT



     In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income (FAS
130), which establishes standards for reporting and disclosure of comprehensive
income and its components. FAS 130 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 1997 and requires reclassification of financial statements for
earlier periods to be provided for comparative purposes. The Systems' total
comprehensive loss for all periods presented herein did not differ from those
amounts reported as net loss in the combined statement of operations.


3. SALE AND EXCHANGE OF CABLE PROPERTIES

SALE

     On December 5, 1997, RMG sold its cable television assets serving
approximately 7,400 (unaudited) basic subscribers in and around Royston and
Toccoa, Georgia. The sale resulted in a gain, calculated as follows:

EXCHANGE

     On December 31, 1998, certain of the Systems' cable television assets
located in and around western and eastern Tennessee ("Exchanged Assets"),
serving approximately 10,600 (unaudited) basic subscribers, plus cash of $398
were exchanged for other cable television assets located in and around western
and eastern Tennessee, serving approximately 10,000 (unaudited) basic
subscribers.

     RMG's debt is outstanding under an intercompany revolving credit facility
executed with IP-IV. The revolving credit facility currently provides for
$1,200,000 of available credit.

     RMG's intercompany revolving credit facility requires repayment of the
outstanding principal and accrued interest on the earlier of (i) December 31,
2006, or (ii) acceleration of any of IP-IV's obligations to repay under its bank
debt outstanding under its revolving credit facility ("IP-IV Revolving Credit
Facility") and term loan agreement ("IP-IV Term Loan", together with the IP-IV
Revolving Credit Facility, the "IP-IV Bank Facility") dated July 30, 1996.

     Interest rates under RMG's intercompany revolving credit facility are
calculated monthly and are referenced to those made available under the IP-IV
Bank Facility. Interest rates ranged from 6.84% to 7.92% during 1998.

     Charter has an obligation to assume and repay RMG's intercompany revolving
credit facility pursuant to the Charter Transactions.

     Advances under the IP-IV Bank Facility are available under interest rate
options related to the base rate of the administrative agent for the IP-IV Bank
Facility ("ABR") or LIBOR. Effective October 20, 1997, pursuant to an amendment

rates on borrowings under the IP-IV Revolving Credit Facility varied from LIBOR
plus 0.75% to LIBOR plus 1.75% or ABR to ABR plus 0.50% based on IP-IV's Senior
Debt Ratio. The IP-IV Bank Facility requires quarterly payment of fees on the
unused portion of the IP-IV Revolving Credit Facility of 0.375% per annum when
the Senior Debt Ratio is greater than 4.0:1.0 and at 0.25% when the Senior Debt
Ratio is less than or equal to 4.0:1.0.

     The terms and conditions of RMG's intercompany debt agreement are not
necessarily indicative of the terms and conditions which would be available if
the Systems were a separate legal entity.

8. MANDATORILY REDEEMABLE PREFERRED SHARES

     RMG has Redeemable Preferred Stock outstanding at December 31, 1998 and
1997, which has an annual dividend of 10.0% and participates in any dividends
paid on the common stock at 10.0% of the dividend per share paid on the common
stock. The Redeemable Preferred Stock bears a liquidation preference of $12,000
plus any accrued but unpaid dividends at the time of liquidation and is
mandatorily redeemable on September 30, 2006 at the liquidation preference
amount. Under the Agreements, upon consummation of the Charter Transactions,
Charter has an obligation to redeem RMG's Redeemable Preferred Stock at the
liquidation preference amount.

9. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

     ICM and IMI provide certain management services to IP-I and ICP-IV,
respectively, for per annum fixed fees, of which 20% per annum is deferred and
payable in each following year in order to support InterMedia's debt. Prior to
January 1, 1998, ICM-IV provided such management services to ICP-IV.
InterMedia's management fees for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997
amounted to $5,410, and $6,395, respectively, of which $3,147 and $2,870,
respectively, has been charged to the Systems.

     IMI has entered into agreements with both IP-I and ICP-IV to provide
accounting and administrative services at cost. Under the terms of the
agreements, the expenses associated with rendering these services are charged to
the Systems and other affiliates based upon relative basic subscriber
percentages. Management believes this method to be reflective of the actual
cost. During 1998 and 1997, IMI administrative fees charged to the Systems
totaled $3,657 and $4,153, respectively. Receivable from affiliates at December
31, 1998 and 1997 includes $52 and $1,080, respectively, of advances to IMI, net
of administrative fees charged by IMI and operating expenses paid by IMI on
behalf of the Systems.

     IP-I is majority-owned, and ICP-IV is owned in part, by
Tele-Communications, Inc. ("TCI"). As affiliates of TCI, IP-I and ICP-IV are
able to purchase programming services from a subsidiary of TCI. Management
believes that the overall programming rates made available through this
relationship are lower than the Systems could obtain separately. Such volume
rates may not

continue to be available in the future should TCI's ownership interest in
InterMedia significantly decrease. Program fees charged by the TCI subsidiary to
the Systems for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997 amounted to $30,884
and $26,815, respectively. Payable to affiliates includes programming fees
payable to the TCI subsidiary of $2,918 and $2,335 at December 31, 1998 and
1997, respectively.

     On January 1, 1998 an affiliate of TCI entered into agreements with
InterMedia to manage the Systems' advertising business and related services for
an annual fixed fee per advertising sales subscriber as defined by the
agreements. In addition to the annual fixed fee TCI is entitled to varying
percentage shares of the incremental growth in annual cash flows from
advertising sales above specified targets. Management fees charged by the TCI
subsidiary for the year ended December 31, 1998 amount to $292. Receivable from
affiliates at December 31, 1998 includes $3,437 of receivable from TCI for
advertising sales.

     As part of its normal course of business the Systems are involved in
transactions with affiliates of InterMedia which own and operate cable
television systems. Such transactions include purchases and sales of inventories
used in construction of cable plant at cost. Receivable from affiliates at
December 31, 1998 and 1997 includes $2,134 and $639, respectively, of
receivables from affiliated systems. Payable to affiliates at December 31, 1998
and 1997 includes $208 and $181, respectively, of payables to affiliated
systems.

10. CABLE TELEVISION REGULATION

     Cable television legislation and regulatory proposals under consideration
from time to time by Congress and various federal agencies have in the past, and
may in the future, materially affect the Systems and the cable television
industry.

     The cable industry is currently regulated at the federal and local levels
under the Cable Act of 1984, the Cable Act of 1992 ("the 1992 Act"), the
Telecommunications Act of 1996 (the "1996 Act") and regulations issued by the
Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") in response to the 1992 Act. FCC
regulations govern the determination of rates charged for basic, expanded basic
and certain ancillary services, and cover a number of other areas including
customer services and technical performance standards, the required transmission
of certain local broadcast stations and the requirement to negotiate
retransmission consent from major network and certain local television stations.
Among other provisions, the 1996 Act eliminated rate regulation on the expanded
basic tier effective March 31, 1999.

     Current regulations issued in conjunction with the 1992 Act empower the FCC
and/or local franchise authorities to order reductions of existing rates which
exceed the maximum permitted levels and to require refunds measured from the
date a complaint is filed in some circumstances or retroactively for up to one
year in other circumstances. Management believes it has made a fair
interpretation of the 1992 Act and related FCC regulations in determining
regulated cable television rates and other fees based on the information
currently available. However, complaints have been filed with the FCC on rates
for certain franchises and certain local franchise authorities have challenged
existing and prior rates. Further complaints and challenges could be
forthcoming, some of which could apply to revenue recorded in 1998, 1997 and
prior years. Management believes that the effect, if any, of these complaints
and challenges will not be material to the Systems' financial position or
results of operations.

                             (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)

     Many aspects of regulation at the federal and local levels are currently
the subject of judicial review and administrative proceedings. In addition, the
FCC is required to conduct rulemaking proceedings to implement various
provisions of the 1996 Act. It is not possible at this time to predict the
ultimate outcome of these reviews or proceedings or their effect on the Systems.

11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

     The Systems are committed to provide cable television services under
franchise agreements with remaining terms of up to eighteen years. Franchise
fees of up to 5% of gross revenues are payable under these agreements.

     Current FCC regulations require that cable television operators obtain
permission to retransmit major network and certain local television station
signals. The Systems have entered into long-term retransmission agreements with
all applicable stations in exchange for in-kind and/or other consideration.

     InterMedia has been named in purported and certified class actions in
various jurisdictions concerning late fee charges and practices. Certain cable
systems owned by InterMedia charge late fees to customers who do not pay their
cable bills on time. These late fee cases challenge the amount of the late fees
and the practices under which they are imposed. The Plaintiffs raise claims
under state consumer protection statutes, other state statutes, and common law.
Plaintiffs generally allege that the late fees charged by InterMedia's cable
systems, including the Systems in the States of Tennessee, South Carolina and
Georgia are not reasonably related to the costs incurred by the cable systems as
a result of the late payment. Plaintiffs seek to require cable systems to reduce
their late fees on a prospective basis and to provide compensation for alleged
excessive late fee charges for past periods. These cases are either at the early
stages of the litigation process or are subject to a case management order that
sets forth a process leading to mediation. Based upon the facts available
management believes that, although no assurances can be given as to the outcome
of these actions, the ultimate disposition of these matters should not have a
material adverse effect upon the financial condition of the Systems.

     Under existing Tennessee laws and regulations, the Systems pay an Amusement
Tax in the form of a sales tax on programming service revenues generated in
Tennessee in excess of charges for the basic and expanded basic levels of
service. Under the existing statute, only the service charges or fees in excess
of the charges for the "basic cable" television service package are exempt from
the Amusement Tax. Related regulations clarify the definition of basic cable to
include two tiers of service, which InterMedia's management and other operators
in Tennessee have interpreted to mean both the basic and expanded basic level of
services.

     The Tennessee Department of Revenue ("TDOR") has proposed legislation which
would replace the Amusement Tax under the existing statute with a new sales tax
on all cable service revenues in excess of twelve dollars per month. The new tax
would be computed at a rate approximately equal to the existing effective tax
rate.

     Unless InterMedia and other cable operators in Tennessee support the
proposed legislation, the TDOR has suggested that it would assess additional
taxes on prior years' expanded basic service revenues. The TDOR can issue an
assessment for prior periods up to three years. Management estimates that the
amount of such an assessment for the Systems, if made for all

                                      F-178

periods not previously audited, would be approximately $5.4 million.
InterMedia's management believes that it is possible but not likely that the
TDOR can make such an assessment and prevail in defending it.

     InterMedia's management believes it has made a valid interpretation of the
current Tennessee statute and regulations and that it has properly determined
and paid all sales taxes due. InterMedia further believes that the legislative
history of the current statute and related regulations, as well as the TDOR's
history of not making assessments based on audits of prior periods, support
InterMedia's interpretation. InterMedia and other cable operators in Tennessee
are aggressively defending their past practices on calculation and payment of
the Amusement Tax and are discussing with the TDOR modifications to their
proposed legislation which would clarify the statute and would minimize the
impact of such legislation on the Systems' results of operations.

     The Systems are subject to other claims and litigation in the ordinary
course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate outcome of any
existing litigation or other claims will not have a material effect on the
Systems' financial position or results of operations.

     The Systems have entered into pole rental agreements and lease certain of
its facilities and equipment under non-cancelable operating leases. Minimum
rental commitments at December 31, 1998 for the next five years and thereafter
under non-cancelable operating leases related to the Systems are as follows:

</TABLE>

     At December 31, 1998, RMG had net operating loss carryforwards for federal
income tax purposes aggregating $92,785, which expire through 2018. RMG is a
loss corporation as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code.
Therefore, if certain substantial changes in RMG's ownership should occur, there
could be a significant annual limitation on the amount of loss carryforwards
which can be utilized.

     InterMedia's management has not established a valuation allowance to reduce
the deferred tax assets related to RMG's unexpired net operating loss
carryforwards. Due to an excess of appreciated asset value over the tax basis of
RMG's net assets, management believes it is more likely than not that the
deferred tax assets related to unexpired net operating losses will be realized.

and the tax (expense) benefit reported in the accompanying combined statements
of operations is as follows:

     In connection with the exchange of certain cable assets in and around
western and eastern Tennessee on December 31, 1998, as described in Note 3, the
Systems paid cash of $398.

     In December 1998, IP-IV contributed its 4.99% partner interest in a limited
partnership to RMG. The book value of the investment at the time of the
contribution was $1,147.

     Total accretion on RMG's Redeemable Preferred Stock for the years ended
December 31, 1998 and 1997 amounted to $945 and $882, respectively.

15. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

     The Systems participate in the InterMedia Partners Tax Deferred Savings
Plan which covers all full-time employees who have completed at least six months
of employment. The plan provides for a base employee contribution of 1% and a
maximum of 15% of compensation. The Systems' matching contributions under the
plan are at the rate of 50% of the employee's contribution, up to a maximum of
5% of compensation.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.  ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

ORGANIZATION

     Rifkin Cable Income Partners L.P. (the "Partnership") was formed in 1986 as
a limited partnership under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Partnership
owns, operates and develops cable television systems in Missouri and New Mexico.
Rifkin Cable Management Partners L.P., an affiliate of Rifkin & Associates, Inc.
(Note 3), is the general partner of the Partnership.

     The Partnership Agreement (the "Agreement") establishes the respective
rights, obligations and interests of the partners. The Agreement provides that
net income or loss, certain capital events, and cash distributions (all as
defined in the Agreement) are generally allocated 43% to the general partner and
57% to the limited partners.

ACQUISITION BY INTERLINK COMMUNICATIONS PARTNERS, LLLP

     During 1998, Interlink Communications Partners, LLLP ("ICP") agreed to
purchase all of the interests of the Partnership. ICP acquired the limited
partner interests, effective December 31, 1998, and is currently in the process
of obtaining the necessary consents to transfer all of the Partnership's
franchises to ICP. Once obtained, ICP will then purchase the general partner
interest in the Partnership, and the Partnership will, by operation of law, be
consolidated into ICP.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

     Customer fees are recorded as revenue in the period the service is
provided. The cost to acquire the rights to the programming generally is
recorded when the product is initially available to be viewed by the customer.

ADVERTISING AND PROMOTION EXPENSES

     Advertising and promotion expenses are charged to income during the year in
which they are incurred and were not significant for the periods shown.

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

     Additions to property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost, which in
the case of assets constructed includes amounts for material, labor, overhead
and capitalized interest, if applicable. Upon sale or retirement of an asset,
the related costs and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and
any gain or loss is recognized.

     Depreciation expense is calculated using the straight-line method over the
estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

Buildings.................................................  21-30 years
Cable television transmission and distribution systems and
  related equipment.......................................   3-15 years
Vehicles and furniture and fixtures.......................    3-5 years

FRANCHISE COSTS

     Franchise costs are amortized using the straight-line method over the
remaining lives of the franchises as of the date they were acquired, ranging
from eight to twenty-five years. The

                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

carrying value of intangibles is assessed for recoverability by management based
on an analysis of undiscounted expected future cash flows. The Partnership's
management believes that there has been no impairment thereof as of December 31,
1998.

OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

     Loan costs of the Partnership have been deferred and have been amortized to
interest expense utilizing the straight-line method over the term of the related
debt. Use of the straight-line method approximates the results of the
application of the interest method. The net amount remaining at December 31,
1997 was $37,886.

     On December 30, 1998, the loan with a financial institution was paid in
full (Note 2). The related deferred loan costs and associated accumulated
amortization were written off and an extraordinary loss of $18,916 was recorded.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

     All highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of
three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents.

INCOME TAXES

     No provision for Federal or State income taxes is necessary in the
financial statements of the Partnership, because as a partnership, it is not
subject to Federal or State income tax as the tax effect of its activities
accrues to the partners.

USE OF ESTIMATES

     The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT

     In April 1998, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee issued
Statement of Position (SOP) 98-5 "Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up
Activities," which requires the Partnership to expense all start up costs
related to opening a new facility, introduction of anew product or service, or
conducting business with a new class of customer or in a new territory. This
standard is effective for the Partnership's 1999 fiscal year. Management
believes that SOP 98-5 will have no material effect on its financial position or
the results of operations.

RECLASSIFICATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION

     Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1996 and 1997 financial
statements to conform with the 1998 financial statement presentation.

2.  DEBT

     The Partnership had a term loan with a financial institution which required
varying quarterly payments. At December 31, 1997, the term loan had a balance of
$4,914,000. At December 30,

                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

1998, the term loan had a balance of $4,216,875; at that date, the total balance
and accrued interest were paid in full.

     On that same date, the Partnership obtained a new interpartnership loan
with ICP (Note 1). Borrowing under the interpartnership loan, as well as
interest and principle payments are due at the discretion of the management of
ICP, resulting in no minimum required annual principle payments. The balance of
the interpartnership loan at December 31, 1998 was $2,865,426. The effective
interest rate at December 31, 1998 was 8.5%.

3.  MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT

     The Partnership has entered into a management agreement with Rifkin and
Associates, Inc. (Rifkin). The management agreement provides that Rifkin shall
act as manager of the Partnership's CATV systems, and shall be entitled to
annual compensation of 5% of the Partnership's CATV revenues, net of certain
CATV programming costs. Effective September 1, 1998, Rifkin conveyed its CATV
management business to R & A Management, LLC (RML). The result of this
transaction included the conveyance of the Rifkin management agreement (Rifkin
Agreement) to RML (RML Agreement). Expenses incurred pursuant to the Rifkin
Agreement and the RML Agreement are disclosed in total on the Statement of
Operations.

4.  COMMITMENTS AND RENTAL EXPENSE

     The Partnership leases certain real and personal property under
noncancelable operating leases expiring through the year 2001. Future minimum
lease payments under such noncancelable leases as of December 31, 1998 are:
$30,000 for each year 1999, 2000 and 2001, totaling $90,000.

     Total rental expense for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998
was $60,323, $68,593 and $68,776, respectively, including $27,442, $36,822 and
$36,716, respectively, relating to cancelable pole rental agreements.

5.  RETIREMENT BENEFITS

     The Partnership has a 401(k) plan for its employees that have been employed
by the Partnership for at least one year. Employees of the Partnership can
contribute up to 15% of their salary, on a before-tax basis, with a maximum 1998
contribution of $10,000 (as set by the Internal Revenue Service). The
Partnership matches participant contributions up to a maximum of 50% of the
first 3% of a participant's salary contributed. All participant contributions
and earnings are fully vested upon contribution and Partnership contributions
and earnings vest 20% per year of employment with the Partnership, becoming
fully vested after five years. The Partnership's matching contributions for the
years ended December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998 were $2,693, $3,653 and $2,680,
respectively.

6.  FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

     The Partnership has a number of financial instruments, none of which are
held for trading purposes. The following method and assumptions were used by the
Partnership to estimate the fair values of financial instruments as disclosed
herein:

     Cash and Cash Equivalents, Customer Accounts Receivable, Other Receivables,
Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities and Customer Deposits and Prepayments:
The carrying value amount approximates fair value because of the short period to
maturity.

                       RIFKIN CABLE INCOME PARTNERS L.P.

                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

     Debt: The carrying value amount approximates the fair value because the
Partnership's interpartnership debt was obtained on December 30, 1998.

7.  CABLE REREGULATION

     Congress enacted the Cable Television Consumer Protection and Competition
Act of 1992 (the Cable Act) and has amended it at various times since.

     The total effects of the present law are, at this time, still unknown.
However, one provision of the present law further redefines a small cable
system, and exempts these systems from rate regulation on the upper tiers of
cable service. The Partnership is awaiting an FCC rulemaking implementing the
present law to determine whether its systems qualify as small cable systems.

8.  LITIGATION

     The Partnership could possibly be named as defendant in various actions and
proceedings arising from the normal course of business. In all such cases, the
Partnership will vigorously defend itself against the litigation and, where
appropriate, will file counterclaims. Although the eventual outcome of potential
lawsuits cannot be predicted, it is management's opinion that any such lawsuit
will not result in liabilities that would have a material affect on the
Partnership's financial position or results of operations.

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Partners of
Rifkin Acquisition Partners, L.L.L.P.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and the related
consolidated statements of operations, partners' capital (deficit) and cash
flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Rifkin
Acquisition Partners, L.L.L.P. and its subsidiaries (the "Company") at December
31, 1998 and 1997, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for
each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1998 in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management; our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our
audits of these statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards which 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, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.  GENERAL INFORMATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

GENERAL INFORMATION


     Rifkin Acquisition Partners, L.L.L.P. ("the Partnership") was formed
pursuant to the laws of the State of Colorado. The Partnership and its
subsidiaries are hereinafter referred to on a consolidated basis as the
"Company." The Company owns, operates, and develops cable television systems in
Georgia, Tennessee, and Illinois. Rifkin Acquisition Management, L.P., an
affiliate of Rifkin & Associates, Inc. (Note 7), is the general partner of the
Partnership ("General Partner").


     The Partnership operates under a limited liability limited partnership
agreement (the "Partnership Agreement") which establishes contribution
requirements, enumerates the rights and responsibilities of the partners and
advisory committee, provides for allocations of income, losses and
distributions, and defines certain items relating thereto. The Partnership
Agreement provides that net income or loss, certain defined capital events, and
cash distributions, all as defined in the Partnership Agreement, are generally
allocated 99% to the limited partners and 1% to the general partner.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the following
entities:

<TABLE>
<S>                                          <C>
- Rifkin Acquisition Partners, L.L.L.P.      - Cable Equities of Colorado, Ltd. (CEC)
- Cable Equities of Colorado                 - Cable Equities, Inc. (CEI)
  Management Corp. (CEM)                     - Rifkin Acquisition Capital Corp. (RACC)
</TABLE>

     The financial statements for 1997 and 1996 also included the following
entities:

<TABLE>
<S>                                          <C>
- Rifkin/Tennessee, Ltd. (RTL)               - FNI Management Corp. (FNI)
</TABLE>

     Effective January 1, 1998, both the RTL and FNI entities were dissolved and
the assets were transferred to the Partnership.

     All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated.

REVENUE AND PROGRAMMING

     Customer fees are recorded as revenue in the period the service is
provided. The cost to acquire the rights to the programming generally is
recorded when the product is initially available to be viewed by the customer.

ADVERTISING AND PROMOTION EXPENSES

     Advertising and promotion expenses are charged to income during the year in
which they are incurred and were not significant for the periods shown.

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

     Additions to property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost, which in
the case of assets constructed, includes amounts for material, labor, overhead
and interest, if applicable. Upon sale or retirement of an asset, the related
costs and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or
loss is recognized. Capitalized interest was not significant for the periods
shown.

                     RIFKIN ACQUISITION PARTNERS, L.L.L.P.

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

     Depreciation expense is calculated using the straight-line method over the
estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

<TABLE>
<S>                                                         <C>
Buildings.................................................  27-30 years
Cable television transmission and distribution systems and
  related equipment.......................................   3-15 years
Vehicles and furniture and fixtures.......................    3-5 years
</TABLE>

     Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.

FRANCHISE COSTS

     Franchise costs are amortized using the straight-line method over the
remaining lives of the franchises as of the date they were acquired, ranging
from one to twenty years. The carrying value of franchise costs is assessed for
recoverability by management based on an analysis of undiscounted future
expected cash flows from the underlying operations of the Company. Management
believes that there has been no impairment thereof as of December 31, 1998.

OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

     Certain loan costs have been deferred and are amortized to interest expense
utilizing the straight-line method over the remaining term of the related debt.
Use of the straight-line method approximates the results of the application of
the interest method. The net amounts remaining at December 31, 1998 and 1997
were $6,176,690 and $7,166,450, respectively.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

     All highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of
three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents.

REDEEMABLE PARTNERS' INTERESTS

     The Partnership Agreement provides that if a certain partner dies or
becomes disabled, that partner (or his personal representative) shall have the
option, exercisable by notice given to the partners at any time within 270 days
after his death or disability (except that if that partner dies or becomes
disabled prior to August 31, 2000, the option may not be exercised until August
31, 2000 and then by notice by that partner or his personal representative given
to the partners within 270 days after August 31, 2000) to sell, and require the
General Partner and certain trusts controlled by that partner to sell, and the
Partnership to purchase, up to 50% of the partnership interests owned by any of
such partners and certain current and former members of management of Rifkin &
Associates, Inc. that requests to sell their interest, for a purchase price
equal to the fair market value of those interests determined by appraisal in
accordance with the Partnership Agreement. Accordingly, the current fair value
of such partnership interests have been reclassified outside of partners'
capital.

USE OF ESTIMATES

     The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of

                                      F-197

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT

     In April 1998, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee issued
Statement of Position (SOP) 98-5 "Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up
Activities," which requires the Partnership to expense all start up costs
related to organizing a new business. This new standard also includes one-time
activities related to opening a new facility, introduction of a new product or
service, or conducting business with a new class of customer or in a new
territory. This standard is effective for the Partnership's 1999 fiscal year.
Management believes that SOP 98-5 will have no material effect on its financial
position or the results of operations.

RECLASSIFICATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION

     Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1997 and 1996 financial
statements to conform with the 1998 financial statement presentation. Such
reclassification had no effect on the net loss as previously stated.

2.  SUBSEQUENT EVENT

     On February 12, 1999, the Company signed a letter of intent for the
partners to sell all of their partnership interests to Charter Communications
("Charter"). The Company and Charter are expected to sign a purchase agreement
and complete the sale during the third quarter of 1999.

3.  ACQUISITION OF CABLE PROPERTIES

1998 ACQUISITIONS

     At various times during the second half of 1998, the Company completed
three separate acquisitions of cable operating assets. Two of the acquisitions
serve communities in Gwinnett County, Georgia (the "Georgia Systems"). These
acquisitions were accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.

     The third acquisition resulted from a trade of the Company's systems
serving the communities of Paris and Piney Flats, Tennessee for the operating
assets of another cable operator serving primarily the communities of Lewisburg
and Crossville, Tennessee (the "Tennessee Trade"). The trade was for cable
systems that are similar in size and was accounted for based on fair market
value. Fair market value was established at $3,000 per customer relinquished,
which was based on recent sales transactions of similar cable systems. The
transaction included the payment of approximately $719,000, net, of additional
cash (Note 4).

     The combined purchase price was allocated based on estimated fair values
from an independent appraisal to property, plant and equipment and franchise
cost as follows (dollars in thousands):

     The fair value of assets relinquished from the Tennessee Trade was treated
as a noncash transaction on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. The cash
acquisition costs were funded by proceeds from the Company's reducing revolving
loan with a financial institution.

     The following combined pro forma information presents a summary of
consolidated results of operations for the Company as if the Tennessee Trade
acquisitions had occurred at the beginning of 1997, with pro forma adjustments
to show the effect on depreciation and amortization for the acquired assets,
management fees on additional revenues and interest expense on additional debt
(dollars in thousands):

operating results that would have occurred had the Tennessee Trade actually been

1997 ACQUISITIONS

     On April 1, 1997, the Company acquired the cable operating assets of two
cable systems serving the Tennessee communities of Shelbyville and Manchester
(the "Manchester Systems"), for an aggregate purchase price of approximately
$19.7 million of which $495,000 was paid as escrow in 1996. The acquisition was
accounted for using the purchase method of accounting, and was funded by
proceeds from the Company's reducing revolving loan with a financial
institution. No pro forma information giving the effect of the acquisitions is
shown due to the results being immaterial.

1996 ACQUISITIONS

     On March 1, 1996, the Company acquired certain cable operating assets
("Mid-Tennessee Systems") from Mid-Tennessee CATV, L.P., and on April 1, 1996
acquired the cable operating assets ("RCT Systems") from Rifkin Cablevision of
Tennessee, Ltd. Both Mid-Tennessee CATV, L.P. and Rifkin Cablevision of
Tennessee, Ltd. were affiliates of the General Partner. The acquisition costs
were funded by $15 million of additional partner contributions and the remainder
from a portion of the proceeds received from the issuance of $125 million of
11 1/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2006 (see Note 6).

     The acquisitions were recorded using the purchase method of accounting. The
results of operations of the Mid-Tennessee Systems have been included in the
consolidated financial statements since March 1, 1996, and the results of the
RCT Systems have been included in the consolidated financial statements since
April 1, 1996. The combined purchase price was allocated based on estimated fair

4.  SALE OF ASSETS

     On February 4, 1998, the Company sold all of its operating assets in the
state of Michigan (the "Michigan Sale") to another cable operator for cash. In
addition, on December 31, 1998,

the Company traded certain cable systems in Tennessee (the "Tennessee Trade")
for similar-sized cable systems (Note 3). Both sales resulted in a gain
recognized by the Company as follows (dollars in thousands):

     The Michigan Sale proceeds amount includes $500,000 that is currently being
held in escrow. This amount and the fair value of assets relinquished, related
to the Tennessee Trade, were both treated as noncash transactions on the
Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

     The cash proceeds from the Michigan Sale were used by the Company to reduce
its revolving and term loans with a financial institution.

5.  INCOME TAXES

     Although the Partnership is not a taxable entity, two corporations (the
"subsidiaries") are included in the consolidated financial statements. These
subsidiaries are required to pay taxes on their taxable income, if any.

</TABLE>

     The Company accounts for income taxes under the liability method. Under
this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on
differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities
and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect
when the differences are expected to reverse.

     As a result of a change in control in 1995, the book value of the Company's
net assets was increased to reflect their fair market value. In connection with
this revaluation, a deferred income tax liability in the amount of $22,801,000
was established to provide for future taxes payable on the revised valuation of
the net assets. A deferred tax benefit of $4,196,000, $5,335,000 and $3,654,000
was recognized for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996,
respectively, reducing the liability to $7,942,000.

     Deferred tax assets (liabilities) were comprised of the following at
December 31, 1998 and 1997:

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

     As of December 31, 1998 and 1997, the subsidiaries have net operating loss
carryforwards ("NOLs") for income tax purposes of $30,317,000 and $25,264,000,
respectively, substantially all of which are limited. The NOLs will expire at
various times between the years 2000 and 2013.

     In 1998, one of the corporate entities was dissolved. The existing NOL's
were used to offset taxable income down to $87,751, resulting in a current tax
for 1998 of $18,075.

     Under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), the
subsidiaries generally would be entitled to reduce their future federal income
tax liabilities by carrying the unused NOLs forward for a period of 15 years to
offset their future income taxes. The subsidiaries' ability to utilize any NOLs
in future years may be restricted, however, in the event the subsidiaries
undergo an "ownership change" as defined in Section 382 of the Code. In the
event of an ownership change, the amount of NOLs attributable to the period
prior to the ownership change that may be used to offset taxable income in any
year thereafter generally may not exceed the fair market value of the subsidiary
immediately before the ownership change (subject to certain adjustments)
multiplied by the applicable long-term, tax exempt rate published by the
Internal Revenue Service for the date of the ownership change. Two of the
subsidiaries underwent an ownership change on September 1, 1995 pursuant to
Section 382 of the Code. As such, the NOLs of the subsidiaries are subject to
limitation from that date forward. It is the opinion of management that the NOLs
will be released from this limitation prior to their expiration dates and, as
such, have not been limited in their calculation of deferred taxes.

     The provision for income tax expense (benefit) differs from the amount
which would be computed by applying the statutory federal income tax rate of 35%
to pre-tax income before extraordinary loss as a result of the following:

</TABLE>

     The Notes and loans are collateralized by substantially all of the assets
of the Company.

     On January 26, 1996, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, RACC (the
"Issuers"), co-issued $125,000,000 of 11 1/8% Senior Subordinated Notes (the
"Notes") to institutional investors. These notes were subsequently exchanged on
June 18, 1996 for publicly registered notes with identical terms. Interest on
the Notes is payable semi-annually on January 15 and July 15 of each year. The
Notes, which mature on January 15, 2006, can be redeemed in whole or in part, at
the Issuers' option, at any time on or after January 15, 2001, at redeemable
prices contained in the Notes plus accrued interest. In addition, at any time on
or prior to January 15, 1999, the Issuers, at their option, may redeem up to 25%
of the principle amount of the Notes issued to institutional investors of not
less than $25,000,000. At December 31, 1998 and 1997, all of the Notes were
outstanding (see also Note 10).

     The Company has a $25,000,000 Tranche A term loan with a financial
institution. This loan requires quarterly payments of $1,875,000 plus interest
commencing on March 31, 2000. Any unpaid balance is due March 31, 2003. The
agreement requires that what it defines as excess proceeds from the sale of a
cable system be used to retire Tranche A term debt. As a result of the Michigan
sale (Note 4), there was $3,425,000 of excess proceeds used to pay principal in
1998. The interest rate on the Tranche A term loan is either the bank's prime
rate plus .25% to 1.75% or LIBOR plus 1.5% to 2.75%.

     The specific rate is dependent upon the senior funded debt ratio which is
recalculated quarterly. The weighted average effective interest rate at December
31, 1998 and 1997 was 7.59% and 8.24%, respectively.

     In addition, the Company has a $40,000,000 Tranche B term loan, which
requires principal payments of $2,000,000 on March 31, 2002, $18,000,000 on
March 31, 2003, and $20,000,000 on March 31, 2004. The Tranche B term loan bears
an interest rate of 9.75% and is payable quarterly.

     The Company also has a reducing revolving loan providing for borrowing up
to $20,000,000 at the Company's discretion, subject to certain restrictions, and
an additional $60,000,000 available to finance acquisitions subject to certain
restrictions. On March 4, 1998, the reducing revolving loan agreement was
amended to revise the scheduled reduction in revolving commitments. The
additional financing amounts available at December 31, 1998 and 1997 were
$45,000,000 and $52,500,000, respectively. At December 31, 1998, the full
$20,000,000 available had been borrowed, and $15,000,000 had been drawn against
the $45,000,000 commitment. At

December 31, 1997, the full $20,000,000 available had been borrowed, and
$16,500,000 had been drawn against the $52,500,000 commitment. The amount
available for borrowing will decrease annually during its term with changes over
the four years following December 31, 1998 as follows: 1999 -- $2,500,000
reduction per quarter, and 2000 through 2002 -- $3,625,000 per quarter. Any
unpaid balance is due on March 31, 2003. The revolving loan bears an interest
rate of either the bank's prime rate plus .25% to 1.75% or LIBOR plus 1.5% to
2.75%. The specific rate is dependent upon the senior funded debt ratio which is
recalculated quarterly. The weighted average effective interest rates at
December 31, 1998 and 1997 was 8.08% and 8.29%, respectively. The reducing
revolving loan includes a commitment fee of  1/2% per annum on the unborrowed
balance.

     Certain mandatory prepayments may also be required, commencing in fiscal
1997, on the Tranche A term loan, the Tranche B term loan, and the reducing
revolving credit based on the Company's cash flow calculations, proceeds from
the sale of a cable system or equity contributions. Based on the 1998
calculation and the Michigan sale, $3,425,000 of prepayments were required.
Optional prepayments are allowed, subject to certain restrictions. The related
loan agreement contains covenants limiting additional indebtedness, dispositions
of assets, investments in securities, distribution to partners, management fees
and capital expenditures. In addition, the Company must maintain certain
financial levels and ratios. At December 31, 1998, the Company was in compliance
with these covenants.

     The Company also has $3,000,000 of senior subordinated debt payable to a
Rifkin Partner. The debt has a scheduled maturity, interest rate and interest
payment schedule identical to that of the Notes, as discussed above.

     Based on the outstanding debt as of December 31, 1998, the minimum
aggregate maturities for the five years following 1998 are none in 1999,
$7,500,000 in 2000, $16,500,000 in 2001, $23,075,000 in 2002 and $29,500,000 in
2003.

7.  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

     The Company entered into a management agreement with Rifkin & Associates,
Inc. (Rifkin). The management agreement provides that Rifkin will act as manager
of the Company's CATV systems and be entitled to annual compensation of 3.5% of
the Company's revenue. Effective September 1, 1998, Rifkin conveyed its CATV
management business to R & A Management, LLC (RML). The result of this
transaction included the conveyance of the Rifkin management agreement (Rifkin
Agreement) to RML (RML Agreement). Expenses incurred pursuant to the Rifkin
Agreement and the RML Agreement are disclosed in total on the Consolidated
Statement of Operations.

     The Company is associated with a company to purchase certain cable
television programming at a discount. Rifkin acted as the agent and held the
deposit funds required for the Company to participate.

     Effective September 1, 1998, Rifkin conveyed this contract and deposit
amount to RML. The deposit amount recorded at December 31, 1998 and 1997 was
$2,139,274 and $1,225,274, respectively. The Company subsequently received
$1,225,274 of the December 31, 1998 balance.

     The Company paid approximately $550,000 to a law firm in connection with
the public offering in 1996. A partner of this law firm is a relative of one of
the Company's partners.

9.  COMPENSATION PLANS AND RETIREMENT PLANS

EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

     In 1996, the Company implemented an Equity Incentive Plan (the "Plan") in
which certain Rifkin & Associates' executive officers and key employees, and
certain key employees of the Company are eligible to participate. Plan
participants in the aggregate, have the right to receive (i) cash payments of up
to 2.0% of the aggregate value of all partnership interests of the Company (the
"Maximum Incentive Percentage"), based upon the achievement of certain annual
Operating Cash Flow (as defined in the Plan) targets for the Company for each of
the calendar years 1996 through 2000, and (ii) an additional cash payment equal
to up to 0.5% of the aggregate value of all partnership interests of the Company
(the "Additional Incentive Percentage"), based upon the achievement of certain
cumulative Operating Cash Flow targets for the Company for the five-year period
ended December 31, 2000. Subject to the achievement of such annual targets and
the satisfaction of certain other criteria based on the Company's operating
performance, up to 20% of the Maximum Incentive Percentage will vest in each
such year; provided, that in certain events vesting may accelerate. Payments
under the Plan are subject to certain restrictive covenants contained in the
Notes.

     No amounts are payable under the Plan except upon (i) the sale of
substantially all of the assets or partnership interests of the Company or (ii)
termination of a Plan participant's employment with Rifkin & Associates or the
Company, as applicable, due to (a) the decision of the Advisory Committee to
terminate such participant's employment due to disability, (b) the retirement of
such participant with the Advisory Committee's approval or (c) the death of such
Participant. The value of amounts payable pursuant to clause (i) above will be
based upon the aggregate net proceeds received by the holders of all of the
partnership interests in the Company, as determined by the Advisory Committee,
and the amounts payable pursuant to clause (ii) above will be based upon the
Enterprise Value determined at the time of such payment. For purposes of the
Plan, Enterprise Value generally is defined as Operating Cash Flow for the
immediately preceding calendar year times a specified multiple and adjusted
based on the Company's working capital.

     The amount expensed for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996
relating to this plan were $1,119,996, $859,992 and $660,000, respectively.

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

RETIREMENT BENEFITS

     The Company has a 401(k) plan for employees that have been employed by the
Company for at least one year. Employees of the Company can contribute up to 15%
of their salary, on a before-tax basis, with a maximum 1998 contribution of
$10,000 (as set by the Internal Revenue Service). The Company matches
participant contributions up to a maximum of 50% of the first 3% of a
participant's salary contributed. All participant contributions and earnings are
fully vested upon contribution and Company contributions and earnings vest 20%
per year of employment with the Company, becoming fully vested after five years.
The Company's matching contributions for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997
and 1996 were $50,335, $72,707 and $42,636, respectively.

10.  FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

     The Company has a number of financial instruments, none of which are held
for trading purposes. The following method and assumptions were used by the
Company to estimate the fair values of financial instruments as disclosed
herein:

     Cash and Cash Equivalents, Customer Accounts Receivable, Other Receivables,
Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities and Customer Deposits and Prepayments:
The carrying value amount approximates fair value because of the short period to
maturity.

     Debt: The fair value of bank debt is estimated based on interest rates for
the same or similar debt offered to the Company having the same or similar
remaining maturities and collateral requirements. The fair value of public
Senior Subordinated Notes is based on the market quoted trading value. The fair
value of the Company's debt is estimated at $236,137,500 and is carried on the
balance sheet at $224,575,000.

11.  CABLE REREGULATION

     Congress enacted the Cable Television Consumer Protection and Competition
Act of 1992 (the Cable Act) and has amended it at various times since.

     The total effects of the present law are, at this time, still unknown.
However, one provision of the present law further redefines a small cable
system, and exempts these systems from rate regulation on the upper tiers of
cable service. The Partnership is awaiting an FCC rulemaking implementing the
present law to determine whether its systems qualify as small cable systems.

12.  SUMMARIZED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

     CEM, CEI and CEC (collective, the "Guarantors") are all wholly-owned
subsidiaries of the Company and, together with RACC, constitute all of the
Partnership's direct and indirect subsidiaries. As discussed in Note 1, RTL and
FNI were dissolved on January 1, 1998 and the assets were transferred to the
Company, however, prior thereto, RTL and FNI, as wholly-owned subsidiaries of
the Company, were Guarantors. Each of the Guarantors provides a full,
unconditional, joint and several guaranty of the obligations under the Notes
discussed in Note 6. Separate financial statements of the Guarantors are not
presented because management has determined that they would not be material to
investors.

14.  LITIGATION

     The Company could possibly be named as defendant in various actions and
proceedings arising from the normal course of business. In all such cases, the
Company will vigorously defend itself against the litigation and, where
appropriate, will file counterclaims. Although the eventual outcome of potential
lawsuits cannot be predicted, it is management's opinion that any such lawsuit
will not result in liabilities that would have a material affect on the
Company's financial position or results of operations.

The Partners
Indiana Cable Associates, Ltd.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Indiana Cable Associates, Ltd.
as of December 31, 1997 and 1998, and the related statements of operations,
partners' deficit and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1997 and
1998. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. 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 financial position of Indiana Cable Associates, Ltd.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.  GENERAL INFORMATION

GENERAL INFORMATION:

     Indiana Cable Associates, Ltd. (the "Partnership"), a Colorado limited
partnership, was organized in March 1987 for the purpose of acquiring and
operating cable television systems and related operations in Indiana and
Illinois.

     For financial reporting purposes, Partnership profits or losses are
allocated 3.5% to the general partners and 96.5% to the limited partners.
Limited partners are not required to fund any losses in excess of their capital
contributions.

ACQUISITION BY INTERLINK COMMUNICATIONS PARTNERS, LLLP:

     Interlink Communications Partners, LLLP ("ICP") agreed to purchase all of
the interests of the Partnership. ICP acquired all of the limited partner
interests, effective December 31, 1998, and is currently in the process of
obtaining the necessary consents to transfer all of the Partnership's franchises
to ICP. Once these are obtained, ICP will then purchase the general partner
interest in the Partnership, and the Partnership will, by operation of law, be
consolidated into ICP.

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT:

     The Partnership records additions to property, plant and equipment at cost,
which in the case of assets constructed includes amounts for material, labor,
overhead and capitalized interest, if applicable.

     For financial reporting purposes, the Partnership uses the straight-line
method of depreciation over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

<TABLE>

Buildings and improvements.................................  5-30 years
Transmission and distribution systems and related
  equipment................................................  3-15 years
Office furniture and equipment.............................     5 years
</TABLE>

OTHER ASSETS:

     Other assets are carried at cost and are amortized on a straight-line basis
over the following lives:

                         INDIANA CABLE ASSOCIATES, LTD.

                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

INCOME TAXES:

     No provision for the payment or refund of income taxes has been provided
for the Partnership since the partners are responsible for reporting their
distributive share of Partnership net income or loss in their personal
capacities.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS:

     The Partnership considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with
a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

REVENUE RECOGNITION:

     Customer fees are recorded as revenue in the period the service is
provided.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INVESTMENTS:

     The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, customer accounts
receivable, accounts payable and interpartnership debt approximate fair value.

USE OF ESTIMATES:

     The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

IMPACT OF YEAR 2000 (UNAUDITED):

     The Partnership recognizes that certain of its time-sensitive computer
programs and product distribution equipment may be affected by conversion to the
year 2000. During 1998, management began their evaluation of the information
systems, product distribution facilities, and vendor and supplier readiness. To
date, considerable progress has been made to complete the evaluation process, to
integrate and test compliance installations, and to prepare contingency plans.
In addition, third party suppliers are either fully compliant or are expected to
be compliant by December 31, 1999. Management expects to have all systems
compliant, or have a contingency plan in effect that will result in minimal
impact on the operations.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT:

     In April 1998, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee issued
Statement of Position (SOP) 98-5 "Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up
Activities," which requires the Partnerships to expense all start-up costs
related to organizing a new business. This new standard also includes one-time
activities related to opening a new facility, introduction of a new product or
service, or conducting business with a new class of customer or in a new
territory. This standard is effective for the Partnerships' 1999 fiscal year.
Organization costs are all fully amortized resulting in SOP 98-5 having no
material effect on its financial position or the results of operations.

RECLASSIFICATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION:

     Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1996 and 1997 financial
statements to conform with the 1998 financial statement presentation. Such
reclassifications had no effect on the net income or loss as previously stated.

</TABLE>

     On December 31, 1997, the loan agreement with a financial institution was
amended (Note 4). At that time, the original loan's costs, which were fully
amortized, and the accumulated amortization were written off. The bank loan
amendment required the payment of additional loan costs which will be amortized
over the remaining term of the bank loan.

     On August 31, 1998, the loan with a financial institution and the
subordinated debt loan with two investor groups were paid in full (Note 4). The
related deferred loan costs and associated accumulated amortization were written
off and $9,263 was recorded as an extraordinary loss. On December 30, 1998, the
new loan agreement with a financial institution was paid in full (Note 4). The
related deferred loan costs and associated accumulated amortization were written
off and $86,569 was recorded as an extraordinary loss.

4.  DEBT

     The Partnership had a revolving credit agreement with a financial
institution which provided for borrowing up to $7,000,000 with a maturity date
of December 31, 1997, at which time the balance of the loan was $4,650,000. On
December 31, 1997, the credit agreement was amended to reduce the amount
available to borrow to $5,200,000 and extend the maturity date to December 31,
1998. The Partnership also had subordinated term notes with two investors
totalling $6,000,000 at December 31, 1997. Total outstanding loans at December
31, 1997 were $10,650,000. On August 31, 1998, the revolving credit loan and
subordinated term notes had a balance of $3,450,000 and $6,000,000,
respectively; at that date, the total balance of $10,650,000 and accrued
interest were paid in full. On that same date, the Partnership obtained a new
credit agreement with a financial institution. The new credit agreement provided
for a senior term note payable in the amount of $7,500,000 and a revolving
credit loan which provided for borrowing up to $7,500,000. At December 30, 1998,
the term note and revolving credit had a balance of $7,500,000 and $1,950,000,
respectively; at that date, the total balance of $9,450,000 and accrued interest
were paid in full. The Partnership also incurred a LIBOR break fee of $2,170 in
conjunction with the retirement of debt which was recorded as an extraordinary
item.

     Also on December 30, 1998, the Partnership obtained a new interpartnership
loan agreement with ICP (Note 1). Borrowing under the interpartnership loan, as
well as interest and principal payments are due at the discretion of the
management of ICP, resulting in no minimum required annual principal payments.
The balance of the interpartnership loan at December 31, 1998 was $9,606,630.
The effective interest rate at December 31, 1998 was 8.5%.

5.  MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT

     The Partnership has entered into a management agreement with Rifkin and

partner of the Partnership. The agreement provides that Rifkin shall manage the
Partnership and shall receive annual compensation equal to 2 1/2% of gross
revenues and an additional 2 1/2% if a defined cash flow level is met. Effective
September 1, 1998, Rifkin conveyed its CATV management business to R & A

The Partners
R/N South Florida Cable Management
Limited Partnership

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of R/N South Florida
Cable Management Limited Partnership as of December 31, 1997 and 1998, and the
related consolidated statements of operations, partners' equity (deficit) and
cash flows for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of R/N
South Florida Cable Management Limited Partnership at December 31, 1997 and
1998, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the
years ended December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998 in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION AND ORGANIZATION:

     The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
R/N South Florida Cable Management Limited Partnership (the "Partnership") and
its substantially wholly-owned subsidiary Rifkin/Narragansett South Florida CATV
Limited Partnership (the "Operating Partnership"). Each partnership is a Florida
Limited Partnership. The Partnership was organized in 1988 for the purpose of
being the general partner to the Operating Partnership which is engaged in the
installation, ownership, operation and management of cable television systems in
Florida.

     In 1992, the Partnership adopted an amendment to the Partnership agreement
(the "Amendment") and entered into a Partnership Interest Purchase Agreement
whereby certain Special Limited Partnership interests were issued in the
aggregate amount of $1,250,000. These new Special Limited Partners are
affiliated with the current General and Limited Partners of the Partnership. The
Amendment provides for the methods under which the gains, losses, adjustments
and distributions are allocated to the accounts of the Special Limited Partners.

     For financial reporting purposes, partnership profits or losses are
allocated to the limited partners, special limited partners and general partners
in the following ratios: 92.22%, 6.849% and .931%, respectively. Limited
partners and special limited partners are not required to fund any losses in
excess of their capital contributions.

ACQUISITION BY INTERLINK COMMUNICATIONS PARTNERS, LLLP:

     InterLink Communications Partners, LLLP ("ICP") agreed to purchase all of
the interests of the Partnerships. ICP acquired all of the limited partner
interests of the Operating Partnership, effective December 31, 1998, and is
currently in the process of obtaining the necessary consents to transfer all of
the Operating Partnership's franchises to ICP. Once obtained, ICP will then
purchase the general partner interest, and the Partnership, by operation of law,
will consolidate into ICP.

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT:

     Property, plant and equipment additions are recorded at cost, which in the
case of assets constructed includes amounts for material, labor, overhead and
capitalized interest, if applicable.

     For financial reporting purposes, the Operating Partnership uses the
straight-line method of depreciation over the estimated useful lives of the
assets as follows:

<TABLE>
<S>                                                         <C>
Transmission and distribution systems and related
  equipment...............................................      15 years
Office furniture and equipment............................    3-15 years
Leasehold improvements....................................     5-8 years
</TABLE>

OTHER ASSETS:

     Other assets are carried at cost and are amortized on a straight-line basis
over the following lives:

             R/N SOUTH FLORIDA CABLE MANAGEMENT LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

INCOME TAXES:

     No provision for the payment or refund of income taxes has been provided
since the partners are responsible for reporting their distributive share of
partnerships net income or loss in their personal capacities.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS:

     The Partnerships consider all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with
a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

REVENUE RECOGNITION:

     Customer fees are recorded as revenue in the period the service is
provided.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:

     The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, customer accounts
receivable, accounts payable and interpartnership debt approximate fair value.

USE OF ESTIMATES:

     The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

IMPACT OF YEAR 2000 (UNAUDITED):

     The Partnerships recognize that certain of its time-sensitive computer
programs and product distribution equipment may be affected by conversion to the
year 2000. During 1998, management began their evaluation of the information
systems, product distribution facilities, and vendor and supplier readiness. To
date, considerable progress has been made to complete the evaluation process, to
integrate and test compliance installations, and to prepare contingency plans.
In addition, third party suppliers are either fully compliant or are expected to
be compliant by December 31, 1999. Management expects to have all systems
compliant, or have a contingency plan in effect that will result in minimal
impact on the operations.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT:

     In April 1998, the Accounting Standards Executive Committee issued
Statement of Position (SOP) 98-5 "Reporting on the costs of Start-Up
Activities," which requires the Partnerships to expense all start-up costs
related to organizing a new business. This new standard also includes one-time
activities related to opening a new facility, introduction of a new product or
service, or conducting business with a new class of customer or in a new
territory. This standard is effective for the Partnerships' 1999 fiscal year.
The organization costs are fully amortized, resulting in SOP 98-5 having no
material effect on its financial position or the results of operations.

RECLASSIFICATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION:

     Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1996 and 1997 financial
statements to conform with the 1998 financial statement presentation. Such
reclassifications had no effect on the net income as previously stated.

                                             ===========    ===========
</TABLE>

     On December 30, 1998, the Partnerships' loan with a financial institution
was paid in full (Note 3). The related deferred loan costs and associated
accumulated amortization were written off and an extraordinary loss of $434,469
was recorded.

3.  DEBT

     The Partnerships had senior term note payable and a revolving credit loan
agreement with a financial institution. The senior term note payable was a
$29,500,000 loan which required varying quarterly payments which commenced on
September 30, 1996. On June 30, 1997, the loan agreement was amended to defer
the June 30, 1997 and September 30, 1997 principal payments and restructured the
required principal payment amounts due through December 31, 2003. The revolving
credit loan provided for borrowing up to $3,000,000 at the discretion of the
Partnerships. On June 30, 1997, the loan agreement was amended to increase the
amount provided for borrowing under the revolving credit loan to $3,750,000. At
December 31, 1997, the term notes and the revolving credit loan had a balance of
$28,387,500 and $1,050,000, respectively, with a total balance of $29,437,500.
At December 30, 1998, the term notes and the revolving credit loan had a balance
of $27,637,500 and $3,300,000, respectively; at that date, the total balance of
$30,937,500 and accrued interest were paid in full.

     Also on December 30, 1998, the Partnerships obtained a new interpartnership
loan agreement with ICP (Note 1). Borrowing under the interpartnership loan, as
well as interest and principal payments are due at the discretion of the
management of ICP, resulting in no minimum required annual principal payments.
The balance of the interpartnership loan at December 31, 1998 was $31,222,436.
The effective interest rate at December 31, 1998 was 8.5%.

4.  MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT

     The Partnerships have entered into a management agreement with Rifkin &
Associates, Inc. (Rifkin). The management agreement provides that Rifkin shall
manage the Operating Partnership and shall be entitled to annual compensation of
4% of gross revenues. Effective September 1, 1998, Rifkin conveyed its CATV
management business to R & A Management, LLC (RML). The result of this
transaction was the conveyance of the Rifkin management agreement (Rifkin
Agreement) to RML (RML Agreement). Expenses incurred pursuant to the Rifkin
Agreement and the RML Agreement are disclosed on the Consolidated Statement of
Operations.

                 SONIC COMMUNICATIONS CABLE TELEVISION SYSTEMS

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     Sonic Communications Cable Television Systems (the Company) operates cable
television systems in California and Utah.

     Effective May 21, 1998, the Company's net assets were acquired by Charter
Communications Holdings, LLC.

CASH EQUIVALENTS

     The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original
maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

     The Company depreciates its cable distribution systems using the
straight-line method over estimated useful lives of 5 to 15 years for systems
acquired on or after April 1, 1981. Systems acquired before April 1, 1981, are
depreciated using the declining balance method over estimated useful lives of 8
to 20 years.

     Vehicles, machinery, office, and data processing equipment and buildings
are depreciated using the straight-line or declining balance method over
estimated useful lives of 3 to 25 years. Capital leases and leasehold
improvements are amortized using the straight-line or declining balance method
over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the asset.

INTANGIBLES

     The excess of amounts paid over the fair values of tangible and
identifiable intangible assets acquired in business combinations are amortized
using the straight-line method over the life of the franchise. Identifiable
intangible assets such as franchise rights, noncompete agreements and subscriber
lists are amortized using the straight-line method over their useful lives,
generally 3 to 15 years.

REVENUES

     Cable television revenues from basic and premium services are recognized
when the related services are provided.

     Installation revenues are recognized to the extent of direct selling costs
incurred. The remainder, if any, is deferred and amortized to income over the
estimated average period that customers are expected to remain connected to the
cable television system. As of May 20, 1998, no installation revenue has been
deferred, as direct selling costs exceeded installation revenue.

INTEREST EXPENSE

     Interest expense relates to a note payable to a stockholder of the Company,
which accrues interest at 7.8% per annum.

USE OF ESTIMATES

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported

amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.

2.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:

FRANCHISES

     The Company has committed to provide cable television services under
franchise agreements with various governmental bodies for remaining terms up to
13 years. Franchise fees of up to 5% of gross revenues are payable under these
agreements.

LEASES

     The Company leases certain facilities and equipment under noncancelable
operating leases. Leases and rental costs charged to expense for the period from
April 1, 1998, through May 20, 1998, were $59,199.

     The Company also rents utility poles in its operations. Generally, pole
rentals are cancelable on short notice, but the Company anticipates that such
rentals will recur. Rent expense incurred for pole rental attachments for the
period from April 1, 1998, through May 20, 1998, was $64,159.

3.  INCOME TAXES:

     The results of the Company are included in the consolidated federal income
tax return of its parent, Sonic Enterprises, Inc., which is responsible for tax
payments applicable to the Company. The financial statements reflect a provision
in lieu of income taxes as if the Company was filing on a separate company
basis. Accordingly, the Company has included the provision in lieu of income
taxes in the accompanying statement of operations.

     The provision in lieu of income taxes approximates the amount of tax
computed using U.S. statutory rates, after reflecting state income tax expense
of $132,510 for the period from April 1, 1998, through May 20, 1998.

4.  REGULATION IN THE CABLE TELEVISION INDUSTRY:

     The cable television industry is subject to extensive regulation at the
federal, local and, in some instances, state levels. The Cable Communications
Policy Act of 1984 (the "1984 Cable Act"), the Cable Television Consumer
Protection and Competition Act of 1992 (the "1992 Cable Act") and together with
the 1984 Cable Act, the "Cable Acts"), and the Telecommunications Act of 1996
(the "1996 Telecom Act"), establish a national policy to guide the development
and regulation of cable television systems. The Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) has principal responsibility for implementing the policies of
the Cable Acts. Many aspects of such regulation are currently the subject to
judicial proceeding and administrative or legislative proposals. Legislation and
regulations continue to change, and the Company cannot predict the impact of
future developments on the cable television industry.

     The 1992 Cable Act and the FCC's rules implementing that act generally have
increased the administrative and operational expenses of cable television
systems and have resulted in additional regulatory oversight by the FCC and
local or state franchise authorities. The Cable Acts and the corresponding FCC
regulations have established rate regulations.

                                      F-232
<PAGE>   402
                 SONIC COMMUNICATIONS CABLE TELEVISION SYSTEMS

                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

     The 1992 Cable Act permits certified local franchising authorities to order
refunds of basic service tier rates paid in the previous twelve-month period
determined to be in excess of the maximum permitted rates. For the period from
April 1, 1998, through May 20, 1998, the amount refunded by the Company has been
insignificant. The Company may be required to refund additional amounts in the
future.

     The Company believes that it has complied in all material respects with the
ownership of the 1992 Cable Act, including the rate setting provisions
promulgated by the FCC. However, in jurisdictions that have chosen not to
certify, refunds covering the previous twelve-month period may be ordered upon
certification if the Company are unable to justify its basic rates. The Company
is unable to estimate at this time the amount of refunds, if any, that may be
payable by the Company in the event certain of its rates are successfully
challenged by franchising authorities or found to be unreasonable by the FCC.
The Company does not believe that the amount of any such refunds would have a
material adverse effect on the financial position or results of operations of
the Company.

     The 1996 Telecom Act, among other things, immediately deregulated the rates
for certain small cable operators and in certain limited circumstances rates on
the basic service tier, and as of March 31, 1999, deregulates rates on the cable
programming service tier (CPST). The FCC is currently developing permanent
regulations to implement the rate deregulation provisions of the 1996 Telecom
Act. The Company cannot predict the ultimate effect of the 1996 Telecom Act on
the Company's financial position or results of operations.

     The FCC may further restrict the ability of cable television operators to
implement rate increases or the United States Congress may enact legislation
that could delay or suspend the scheduled March 1999 termination of CPST rate
regulation. This continued rate regulation, if adopted, could limit the rates
charged by the Systems.

     A number of states subject cable television systems to the jurisdiction of
centralized state governmental agencies, some of which impose regulation of a
character similar to that of a public utility. State governmental agencies are
required to follow FCC rules when prescribing rate regulation, and thus, state
regulation of cable television rates is not allowed to be more restrictive than
the federal or local regulation.

                                  MAY 23, 1997

1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     Long Beach Acquisition Corp. (LBAC or the "Company") was a wholly owned
corporation of KC Cable Associates, L.P., a partnership formed through a joint
venture agreement between Kohlberg, Kravis, Roberts & Co. (KKR) and Cablevision
Industries Corporation (CVI). The Company was formed to acquire cable television
systems serving Long Beach, California, and surrounding areas.

     On May 23, 1997, the Company executed a stock purchase agreement with
Charter Communications Long Beach, Inc. (CC-LB) whereby CC-LB purchased all of
the outstanding stock of the Company for an aggregate purchase price, net of
cash acquired, of $150.9 million. Concurrent with this stock purchase, CC-LB was
acquired by Charter Communications, Inc. (Charter) and Kelso Investment
Associates V, L.P., an investment fund (Kelso).

     As of May 23, 1997, LBAC provided cable television service to subscribers
in southern California.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

     The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original
maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

     Property, plant and equipment is recorded at cost, including all direct and
certain indirect costs associated with the construction of cable transmission
and distribution facilities, and the cost of new customer installation. The
costs of disconnecting a customer are charged to expense in the period incurred.
Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred, and
equipment replacement costs and betterments are capitalized.

     Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful
life of the related asset as follows:

<TABLE>

Leasehold improvements..................................  Life of respective lease
Cable systems and equipment.............................                5-10 years
Subscriber devices......................................                   5 years
Vehicles................................................                   5 years
Furniture, fixtures and office equipment................                5-10 years
</TABLE>

FRANCHISES

     Franchises include the assigned fair value of the franchise from purchased
cable television systems. These franchises are amortized on a straight-line
basis over six years, the remaining life of the franchise at acquisition.

INTANGIBLE ASSETS

     Intangible assets include goodwill, which is amortized over fifteen years;
subscriber lists, which are amortized over seven years; a covenant not to
compete which is amortized over five

years; organization costs which are amortized over five years and debt issuance
costs which are amortized over ten years, the life of the loan.

IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS

     If facts and circumstances suggest that a long-lived asset may be impaired,
the carrying value is reviewed. If a review indicates that the carrying value of
such asset is not recoverable based on projected undiscounted cash flows related
to the asset over its remaining life, the carrying value of such asset is
reduced to its estimated fair value.

REVENUES

     Cable television revenues from basic and premium services are recognized
when the related services are provided.

     Installation revenues are recognized to the extent of direct selling costs
incurred. The remainder, if any, is deferred and amortized to income over the
average estimated period that customers are expected to remain connected to the
cable television system. As of May 23, 1997, no installation revenue has been
deferred, as direct selling costs have exceeded installation service revenues.

INCOME TAXES


     LBAC's income taxes are recorded in accordance with SFAS No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes."


USE OF ESTIMATES

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

2.  STOCKHOLDER'S EQUITY:

     For the period from April 1, 1997, through May 23, 1997, stockholder's
equity consisted of the following:

3.  INTEREST EXPENSE:

     The Company has the option of paying interest at either the Base Rate of
the Eurodollar rate, as defined, plus a margin which is based on the attainment
of certain financial ratios. The weighted average interest rate for the period
from April 1, 1997, through May 23, 1997, was 7.3%.

4.  REGULATION IN THE CABLE TELEVISION INDUSTRY:

     The cable television industry is subject to extensive regulation at the
federal, local and, in some instances, state levels. The Cable Communications
Policy Act of 1984 (the "1984 Cable Act"), the Cable Television Consumer
Protection and Competition Act of 1992 (the "1992 Cable Act") and together with
the 1984 Cable Act, the "Cable Acts"), and the Telecommunications Act of 1996
(the "1996 Telecom Act"), establish a national policy to guide the development
and regulation of cable television systems. The Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) has principal responsibility for implementing the policies of
the Cable Acts. Many aspects of such regulation are currently the subject to
judicial proceeding and administrative or legislative proposals. Legislation and

determined to be in excess of the maximum permitted rates. As of May 23, 1997,
the amount refunded by the Company has been insignificant. The Company may be

regulation. This continued rate regulation, if adopted, could limit the rates
charged by the Company.

required to follow FCC rules when prescribing rate regulation, and thus, state
regulation of cable television rates is not allowed to be more restrictive than
the federal or local regulation.

5.  RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS:

     The Company has entered into a management agreement (the "Management
Agreement") with CVI under which CVI manages the operations of the Company for
an annual management fee equal to 4% of gross operating revenues, as defined.
Management fees under this agreement amounted to $210,100 for the period from
April 1, 1997, through May 23, 1997. In addition, the Company has agreed to pay
a monitoring fee of two dollars per basic subscriber, as defined, per year for
services provided by KKR. Monitoring fees amounted to $20,171 for the period
from April 1, 1997, through May 23, 1997.

6.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:

LEASES

     The Company leases certain facilities and equipment under noncancelable
operating leases. Rent expense incurred under these leases for the period from
April 1, 1997, through May 23, 1997, was $67,600.

     The Company rents utility poles in its operations. Generally, pole rental
agreements are short term, but LBAC anticipates that such rentals will recur.
Rent expense for pole attachments for the period from April 1, 1997, through May
23, 1997, was $12,700.

LITIGATION

     The Company is a party to lawsuits which are generally incidental to its
business. In the opinion of management, after consulting with legal counsel, the
outcome of these lawsuits will not have a material adverse effect on the
Company's financial position or results of operations.

7.  INCOME TAXES:

     The Company has not recognized the tax benefit associated with its taxable
loss for the period from April 1, 1997, through May 23, 1997, as the Company
believes the benefit will likely not be realized.

8.  EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS:

     Substantially all employees of the Company are eligible to participate in a
defined contribution plan containing a qualified cash or deferred arrangement
pursuant to IRC Section 401(k). The plan provides that eligible employees may
contribute up to 10% of their compensation to the plan. The Company made no
contributions to the plan for the period from April 1, 1997, through May 23,
1997.

          CHARTER COMMUNICATIONS HOLDING COMPANY, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES



              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


                                  (UNAUDITED)

                             (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)

1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION


     Charter Communications Holding Company, LLC (CCHC), a Delaware limited
liability company, was formed in 1999 as a wholly owned subsidiary of Charter
Investment, Inc. (Charter), formerly Charter Communications, Inc. Charter,
through its wholly owned cable television operating subsidiary, Charter
Communications Properties, LLC (CCP), commenced operations with the acquisition
of a cable television system on September 30, 1995.



     Effective December 23, 1998, through a series of transactions, Paul G.
Allen acquired approximately 94% of Charter for an aggregate purchase price of
$2.2 billion, excluding $2.0 billion in debt assumed (the "Paul Allen
Transaction"). In conjunction with the Paul Allen Transaction, Charter acquired
100% of the interests it did not already own in CharterComm Holdings, LLC
(CharterComm Holdings) and CCA Group (comprised of CCA Holdings Corp., CCT
Holdings Corp. and Charter Communications Long Beach, Inc.), all cable
television operating companies, for $2.0 billion, excluding $1.8 billion in debt
assumed from unrelated third parties for fair value. Charter previously managed
and owned minority interests in these companies. These acquisitions were
accounted for using the purchase method of accounting, and accordingly, results
of operations of CharterComm Holdings and CCA Group are included in the
financial statements from the date of acquisition. In February 1999, Charter
transferred all of its cable television operating subsidiaries to a wholly owned
subsidiary of Charter Communication Holdings, LLC, (Charter Holdings), Charter
Communications Operating, LLC (Charter Operating). Charter Holdings is a wholly
owned subsidiary of CHCC. This transfer was accounted for as a reorganization of
entities under common control similar to a pooling of interests.



     As a result of the change in ownership of CCP, CharterComm Holdings and CCA
Group, CCHC has applied push-down accounting in the preparation of the
consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, CCHC increased its members'
equity by $2.2 billion to reflect the amounts paid by Paul G. Allen and Charter.
The purchase price was allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed
based on their relative fair values, including amounts assigned to franchises of
$3.6 billion. The allocation of the purchase price is based, in part, on
preliminary information which is subject to adjustment upon obtaining complete
appraisal and valuation information of intangible assets. The valuation
information is expected to be finalized in the third quarter of 1999. Management
believes that finalization of the purchase price will not have a material impact
on the results of operations or financial position of CCHC.



     On April 23, 1998, Paul G. Allen and a company controlled by Paul G. Allen,
(the "Paul G. Allen Companies") purchased substantially all of the outstanding
partnership interests in Marcus Cable Company, L.L.C. (Marcus Cable) for $1.4
billion, excluding $1.8 billion in assumed liabilities. The owner of the
remaining partnership interest retained voting control of Marcus Cable. In
February 1999, Marcus Cable Holdings, LLC (Marcus Holdings) was formed and Mr.
Allen's interests in Marcus Cable were transferred to Marcus Holdings. On March
31, 1999, Paul G. Allen purchased the remaining partnership interests in Marcus
Cable, including voting control. On April 7, 1999, Marcus Holdings was merged
into Charter Holdings and Marcus Cable was transferred to Charter Holdings. For
financial reporting purposes, the merger was accounted for as an acquisition of
Marcus Cable effective March 31, 1999, the date Paul G. Allen obtained voting
control of Marcus Cable. Accordingly, the results of operations of Marcus Cable
have been included in the financial statements from April 1, 1999. The assets
and liabilities of Marcus Cable have been recorded in the financial statements
using historical carrying values reflected in

      NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)



the accounts of the Paul G. Allen Companies. Total member's equity increased by
$1.3 billion as a result of the Marcus Cable acquisition. Previously, on April
23, 1998, the Paul G. Allen Companies recorded the assets acquired and
liabilities assumed of Marcus Cable based on their relative fair values.



     The consolidated financial statements of CCHC include the accounts of
Charter Operating and CCP, the accounts of CharterComm Holdings and CCA Group
and their subsidiaries since December 23, 1998 (date acquired by Charter), and
the accounts of Marcus since March 31, 1999, and are collectively referred to as
the "Company" herein. All subsidiaries are wholly owned. All material
intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.



     As a result of the Paul Allen Transaction and application of push-down
accounting, the financial information of the Company in the accompanying
financial statements and notes thereto as of December 31, 1998, and June 30,
1999, and for the Successor Period (January 1, 1999, through June 30, 1999) is
presented on a different cost basis than the financial information of the
Company for the Predecessor Period (January 1, 1998, through June 30, 1998) and
therefore, such information is not comparable.



     The accompanying unaudited financial statements of the Company have been
prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures
normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted.


2.  RESPONSIBILITY FOR INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS:

     The accompanying financial statements are unaudited; however, in the
opinion of management, such statements include all adjustments necessary for a
fair presentation of the results for the periods presented. The interim
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements
and notes thereto as of and for the period ended December 31, 1998. Interim
results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.

3.  ACQUISITIONS:


     In addition to the Paul Allen Transaction and the acquisitions by Charter
of CharterComm Holdings, CCA Group and Marcus Holdings, the Company acquired
cable television systems for an aggregate purchase price, net of cash acquired,
of $291,800 in 1998, and completed the sale of certain cable television systems
for an aggregate sales price of $405,000 in 1998, all prior to December 24,
1998. Through June 30, 1999, the Company has acquired cable systems in three
separate transactions for an aggregate purchase price, net of cash acquired of
$1.1 billion, excluding debt assumed $111 million. The purchase price was
allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their relative far
values, including amounts assigned to franchises of $1.1 billion. The allocation
of the purchase price is based, in part, on preliminary information which is
subject to adjustment upon obtaining complete valuation information. The
valuation information is expected to be finalized by the first quarter of 2000.
Management believes that finalization of the purchase price will not have a
material impact on the results of operations or financial position of the
Company.


     The above acquisitions were accounted for using the purchase method of
accounting, and accordingly, results of operations of the acquired assets have
been included in the financial statements from the dates of acquisition. The
purchase prices were allocated to tangible and intangible assets based on
estimated fair values at the acquisition dates.

     In March 1999, the Company extinguished substantially all existing
long-term debt, excluding borrowings of the Company under its credit agreements,
and refinanced substantially all existing credit agreements at various
subsidiaries with a new credit agreement entered into by Charter Operating (the
"CCO Credit Agreement"). The excess of the amount paid over the carrying value
of the Company's long-term debt was recorded as Extraordinary item -- loss on
early extinguishment of debt in the accompanying statement of operations.

CCH NOTES

     In March 1999, the Company issued $600.0 million 8.250% Senior Notes due
2007 (the "8.250% Senior Notes") for net proceeds of $598.4 million, $1.5
billion 8.625% Senior Notes due 2009 (the "8.625% Senior Notes") for net
proceeds of $1,495.4 million, and $1,475.0 million 9.920% Senior Discount Notes
due 2011 (the "9.920% Senior Discount Notes") for net proceeds of $905.6
million, (collectively with the 8.250% Senior Notes and the 8.625% Senior Notes,
referred to as the "CCH Notes").

     The 8.250% Senior Notes are not redeemable prior to maturity. Interest is
payable semiannually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 beginning October 1,
1999 until maturity.

     The 8.625% Senior Notes are redeemable at the option of the Company at
amounts decreasing from 104.313% to 100% of par beginning on April 1, 2004, plus
accrued and unpaid interest, to the date of redemption. At any time prior to
April 1, 2002, the Company may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal
amount of the 8.625% Senior Notes at a redemption price of 108.625% of the
principal amount under certain conditions. Interest is payable semiannually in
arrears on April 1 and October 1, beginning October 1, 1999 until maturity.


     The 9.920% Senior Discount Notes are redeemable at the option of the
Company at amounts decreasing from 104.960% to 100% of accreted value beginning
April 1, 2004. At any time prior to April 1, 2002, the Company may redeem up to
35% of the aggregate principal amount of the 9.920% Senior Discount Notes at a
redemption price of 109.920% of the accreted value under certain conditions. No
interest will be payable until April 1, 2004. Thereafter, interest is payable
semiannually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 beginning April 1, 2004 until
maturity. The discount on the 9.920% Senior Discount Notes is being accreted
using the effective interest method at a rate of 9.920% per year. The
unamortized discount was $543.4 million at June 30, 1999.


     The CCH Notes rank equally with current and future unsecured and
unsubordinated indebtedness (including trade payables of the Company). The
Company is required to make an offer to purchase all of the CCH Notes, at a
price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal or 101% of the accreted value,
together with accrued and unpaid interest, upon a Change of Control as defined.


RENAISSANCE NOTES



     In connection with the acquisition of Renaissance Media Group LLC
(Renaissance) during the second quarter of 1999, the Company assumed $163,175
principal amount of senior discount notes due 2008 (the "Renaissance Notes"). As
a result of the change in control of Renaissance, the Company was required to
make an offer to purchase the Renaissance Notes at 101% of their accreted value
plus accrued interest. In May 1999, the Company made an offer to repurchase the
Renaissance Notes pursuant to this requirement, and the holders of the
Renaissance Notes tendered an amount representing 30% of the total principal
amount for repurchase.

<PAGE>   418

          CHARTER COMMUNICATIONS HOLDING COMPANY, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES



      NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)



     As of June 30, 1999, $114.4 million aggregate principal amount of
Renaissance Notes with a carrying value of $82.7 million remains outstanding.
Interest on the Renaissance Notes shall be paid semi-annually at a rate of 10%
per annum beginning on October 15, 2003.



     The Renaissance Notes are redeemable at the option of the Company, in whole
or in part, at any time on or after April 15, 2003, initially at 105% of their
principal amount at maturity, plus accrued interest, declining to 100% of the
principal amount at maturity, plus accrued interest, on or after April 15, 2006.
In addition, at any time prior to April 15, 2001, the Company may redeem up to
35% of the original principal amount at maturity with the proceeds of one or
more sales of capital stock at 110% of their accreted value plus accrued
interest on the redemption date, provided that after any such redemption, at
least $106 million aggregate principal amount at maturity remains outstanding.


CCO CREDIT AGREEMENT

     The CCO Credit Agreement provides for two term facilities, one with a
principal amount of $1.0 billion that matures September 2008 (Term A), and the
other with the principal amount of $1.85 billion that matures on March 2009
(Term B). The CCO Credit Agreement also provides for a $1.25 billion revolving
credit facility with a maturity date of September 2008. Amounts under the CCO
Credit Agreement bear interest at the Base Rate or the Eurodollar rate, as
defined, plus a margin up to 2.75%. A quarterly commitment fee of between 0.25%
and 0.375% per annum is payable on the unborrowed balance of Term A and the
revolving credit facility.


     The indentures governing the debt agreements require the Company and/or its
subsidiaries to comply with various financial and other covenants, including the
maintenance of certain operating and financial ratios. These debt instruments
also contain substantial limitations on, or prohibitions of distributions,
additional indebtedness, liens, asset sales and certain other items. As a result
of limitations and prohibitions of distributions, substantially all of the net
assets of the consolidated subsidiaries are restricted for distribution to CCHC,
the parent company.



     Based upon outstanding indebtedness at June 30, 1999, and the amortization
of term and fund loans, and scheduled reductions in available borrowings of the
revolving credit facility, aggregate future principal payments on the total
borrowings under all debt agreements at June 30, 1999, are as follows:

recorded a distribution of $9,717. As of June 30, 1999, management fees
currently payable of $10,015.



6.  STOCK OPTION PLAN



     In accordance with an employment agreement between the President and Chief
Executive Officer of Charter and a related option agreement between CCHC and the
President and Chief Executive Officer, an option to purchase 3% of the equity
value of CCHC, or 7,044,121 membership interests, was issued to the President
and Chief Executive Officer. The option vests over a four year period from the
date of grant and expires ten years from the date of grant.



     In February 1999, the Company adopted an option plan providing for the
grant of options to purchase up to an aggregate of 10% of the equity value of
CCHC. The option plan provides for grants of options to employees, officers and
directors of CCHC and its affiliates and consultants who provide services to
CCHC. Options granted vest over five years from the grant date. However, if
there has not been a public offering of the equity interests of CCHC or an
affiliate, vesting will occur only upon termination of employment for any
reason, other than for cause or disability. Options not exercised accumulate and
are exercisable, in whole or in part, in any subsequent period, but not later
than ten years from the date of grant.



     Options outstanding as of June 30, 1999, are as follows:

     The Company follows Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting
for Stock Issued to Employees" to account for the option plans. Stock option
compensation expense of $38.2 million has been recorded in the financial
statements since the exercise prices are less than the estimated fair values of
the underlying membership interests on the date of grant. Estimated fair values
were determined by the Company using the valuation inherent in the Paul Allen
Transaction and valuations of public companies in the cable television industry
adjusted for factors specific to the Company. Compensation expense is being
accrued over the vesting period of each grant that varies from four to five
years. As of June 30, 1999, deferred compensation remaining to be recognized in
future periods totalled $126 million. Had compensation expense for the option
plans been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates under the
provisions of SFAS No. 123, the Company's net loss for the six months ended June
30, 1999, would have been $234.0 million. The fair value of each option grant is
estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with
the following assumptions: no dividend yield, expected volatility of 44.0%, risk
free rate of 5.00%, and expected option lives of 10 years.



7.  ACCOUNTING STANDARD NOT YET IMPLEMENTED:



     SFAS No. 137 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities -- Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133 -- An
Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133" has delayed the effective date of SFAS No.

have not yet quantified the impact of adopting SFAS No. 133 on our consolidated
financial statements nor have we determined the timing or method of our adoption
of SFAS No. 133. However, SFAS No. 133 could increase volatility in earnings
(losses).



8.  SUBSEQUENT EVENT:



     In the third quarter of 1999, the Company acquired cable television systems
in three separate transactions for an aggregate purchase price of $648.0
million. The Company has also entered into definitive agreements to purchase
additional cable television systems, including a exchange of cable television
systems, for approximately $2.3 billion. The exchange of cable television
systems will be recorded at the fair value of the systems exchanged. The
additional acquisitions are expected to close no later than December 31, 1999.



     Pursuant to a membership interests purchase agreement, as amended, Vulcan
Cable III, a company controlled by Paul G. Allen, contributed $500 million on
August 10, 1999 to CCHC, and agreed to contribute an additional $825 million in
cash and certain equity interests to be acquired in connection with the Rifkin
acquisition. All funds will be contributed by CCHC to Charter Holdings.

1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:



ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION



     Marcus Cable Holdings, LLC (MCHLLC) was formed in February 1999 as parent
of Marcus Cable Company, L.L.C. (MCCLLC), formerly Marcus Cable Company, L.P.
(MCCLP). MCCLP was formed as a Delaware limited partnership and was converted to
a Delaware limited liability company on June 9, 1998. MCHLLC and its
subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company") derive their primary source of
revenues by providing various levels of cable television programming and
services to residential and business customers. The Company's operations are
conducted through Marcus Cable Operating Company, L.L.C. (MCOC), a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Company. The Company has operated its cable television systems
primarily in Texas, Wisconsin, Indiana, California and Alabama.



     The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
MCCLLC, which is the predecessor of MCHLLC, and its subsidiary limited liability
companies and corporations. All significant intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.



     On April 23, 1998, Vulcan Cable, Inc. and Paul G. Allen (collectively
referred to as "Vulcan") acquired all of the outstanding limited partnership
interest and substantially all of the general partner interest in MCCLP for cash
payments of $1,392,000 (the "Vulcan Acquisition"). Under the terms of the
purchase agreement, the owner of the remaining 0.6% general partner interest in
the Company, (the "Minority Interest"), which represents 100% of the voting
control of the Company, could cause Vulcan to purchase the 0.6% general partner
interest under certain conditions, or Vulcan could cause the Minority Interest
to sell its interest to Vulcan under certain conditions, at a fair value of not
less than $8,000. On March 31, 1999, Vulcan acquired voting control of the
Company by its acquisition of the Minority Interest for cash consideration.



     Effective December 23, 1998, through a series of transactions, Paul G.
Allen acquired approximately 94% of Charter Communications, Inc. (Charter).
Beginning in October 1998, Charter managed the operations of the Company.



     In March 1999, Charter transferred all of its cable television operating
subsidiaries to a subsidiary, Charter Communications Holdings, LLC (Charter
Holdings) in connection with the issuance of Senior Notes and Senior Discount
Notes totaling $3.6 billion. These operating subsidiaries were then transferred
to Charter Communications Operating, LLC (Charter Operating). On April 7, 1999,
the cable television operating subsidiaries of the Company were transferred to
Charter Operating subsequent to the purchase of Paul G. Allen of the Minority
Interest.



     As a result of the Vulcan Acquisition, the Company recognized severance and
stay-on bonus compensation of $16,034, during the fourth quarter of 1998. As of
March 31, 1999, 85 employees and officers of the Company had been terminated.
The remaining balance of $2,400 is to be paid by April 30, 1999 and an
additional $400 in stay-on bonuses will be recorded as compensation in 1999 as
the related services are provided.

INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION



     The accompanying financial statements are unaudited; however, in the
opinion of management, such statements include all adjustments necessary for a
fair presentation of the results for the periods presented. The interim
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements
and notes thereto as of and for the period ended December 31, 1998. Interim
results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.



2.  ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS



     On April 1, 1998, the Company completed the acquisition of the Mountain
Brook and Shelby Cable System form Mountain Brook and Shelby Cable for an
aggregate purchase price of $57,500. The communities served by this system are
adjacent to the Company's existing systems in the suburban Birmingham, Alabama
area. As of the date of the acquisition, this system served approximately 23,000
basic customers. The excess of the cost of properties acquired over the amounts
assigned to net tangible assets and noncompetition agreements as of the date of
acquisition was approximately $44,603 and is included in franchises.



     Additionally, in 1998, the Company completed the sale of certain cable
television systems for an aggregate net sales price of $401,432, resulting in a
total gain of $201,278. No gains or losses were recognized on the sale of the
cable television systems divested after the Vulcan Acquisition as such amounts
are considered to be an adjustment of the purchase price allocation as these
systems were designated as assets to be sold at the date of the Vulcan
Acquisition.



3.  LONG-TERM DEBT:



     In March 1999, concurrent with the issuance of Senior Notes and Senior
Discount Notes, the combined company (Charter and the Company) extinguished all
long-term debt, excluding borrowings of Charter and the Company under their
respective credit agreements, and refinanced all existing credit agreements at
various subsidiaries of the Company and Charter with a new credit agreement
entered into by a wholly owned subsidiary of the combined company. The excess of
the amount paid over the carrying value of the Company's long-term debt was
recorded as Extraordinary item -- loss on early extinguishment of debt in the
accompanying statement of operations



4.  RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS:



     The Company and Charter entered into a management agreement on October 6,
1998 whereby Charter began to manage the day-to-day operations of the Company.
In consideration for the management consulting services provided by Charter, the
Company pays Charter an annual fee equal to 3% of the gross revenues of the
cable system operations, plus expense. For the three months ended March 31,
1999, management fees under this agreement were $2,432. In connection with the
transfer of the Company's operating subsidiaries to Charter Operating, the
annual fee paid by the Company to Charter increased to 3.5%, plus expense.



     Prior to consummation of the Vulcan Acquisition, affiliates of Goldman
Sachs owned limited partnership interests in MCCLP. Maryland Cable Partners,
L.P. ("Maryland Cable"), which was controlled by an affiliate of Goldman Sachs,
owned the Maryland Cable systems. MCOC

                             (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)



managed the Maryland Cable systems under the Maryland Cable agreement. Pursuant
to such agreement, MCOC earned a management fee equal to 4.7% of the revenues of
Maryland Cable.



     Effective January 31, 1997, Maryland Cable was sold to a third party.
Although MCOC is no longer involved in the active management of the Maryland
Cable systems, MCOC has entered into an agreement with Maryland Cable to oversee
the activities, if any, of Maryland Cable through the liquidation of the
partnership. Pursuant to such agreement, MCOC earns a nominal monthly fee.
During the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, MCOC earned total
management fees of $0 and $355, respectively.



5.  ACCOUNTING STANDARD NOT YET IMPLEMENTED:



     In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) adopted SFAS
No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS
No. 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards requiring that every
derivative instrument (including certain derivative instruments embedded in
other contracts) be recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or
liability measured at its fair value and that changes in the derivative's fair
value be recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting
criteria are met. Special accounting for qualifying hedges allows a derivative's
gains and losses to offset related results on the hedged item in the income
statement, and requires that a company must formally document, designate and
assess the effectiveness of transactions that receive hedge accounting. In June
1999, the FASB issued SFAS No. 137 "Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB
Statement No. 133". SFAS No. 137 delays the effective date of SFAS No. 133 for
one year to fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000 and thus the Company will
adopt SFAS No. 133 at that time. The Company has not yet quantified the impacts
of adopting SFAS No. 133 on its consolidated financial statements nor has it
determined the timing or method of its adoption of SFAS No. 133. However, SFAS
No. 133 could increase volatility in earnings (loss).

              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                 (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS EXCEPT WHERE INDICATED)
                                  (UNAUDITED)

1.  ORGANIZATION


     Renaissance Media Group LLC ("Group") was formed on March 13, 1998, by
Renaissance Media Holdings LLC ("Holdings"). On March 20, 1998, Holdings
contributed to Group its membership interests in two wholly owned subsidiaries;
Renaissance Media (Louisiana) LLC ("Louisiana") and Renaissance Media
(Tennessee) LLC ("Tennessee"). Louisiana and Tennessee acquired a 76% interest
and 24% interest, respectively, in Renaissance Media LLC ("Media") from Morgan
Stanley Capital Partners III, Inc. ("MSCP III") on February 13, 1998 for a
nominal amount. As a result, Media became a subsidiary of Holdings. The transfer
was accounted for as a reorganization of entities under common control similar
to a pooling of interests since an entity affiliated with MSCP III had a
controlling interest in Holdings. Group and its subsidiaries are collectively
referred to as the "Company" herein. On April 9, 1998, the Company acquired six
cable television systems (the "TWI Acquisition") from TWI Cable, Inc. a
subsidiary of Time Warner Inc. ("Time Warner"). Prior to this Acquisition, the
Company had no operations other than start-up related activities.



     On February 23, 1999, Holdings, Charter Communications, Inc. (now known as
Charter Investment, Inc. and referred to herein as "Charter") and Charter
Communications, LLC ("CC LLC") executed a purchase agreement, providing for
Holdings to sell and CC LLC to purchase, all the outstanding limited liability
company membership interests in Group held by Holdings (the "Charter
Transaction") subject to certain covenants and restrictions pending closing and
satisfaction of certain conditions prior to closing. On April 30, 1999, the
Charter Transaction was consummated for a purchase price of $459 million,
consisting of $348 million in cash and $111 million in carrying value of debt
assumed.


2.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION


     The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and
with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required
by generally accepted accounting principles. The interim financial statements
are unaudited but include all adjustments, which are of normal recurring nature
that the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation of the financial
position and the results of operations and cash flows for such periods.
Operating results of interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results
for a full year.



     Additional disclosures and information are included in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998.



3.  ACQUISITIONS:



     On February 3, 1999, Media acquired the cable television assets of Bayou
Vision, Inc. and Gulf South Cable, Inc. serving approximately 1,950 subscribers
in the Villages of Estherwood, Morse and Mermentau and Acadia and Livingston
Parish, Louisiana. The cash purchase price was approximately $2,700 and was paid
out of available Company funds.

      NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)



4.  DEBT



     Media maintained a credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with aggregate
commitments under the Credit Agreement totaling $150,000, consisting of a
$40,000 revolver, $60,000 Tranche A Term Loans and $50,000 Tranche B Term Loans.
On April 30, 1999, in connection with the Charter Transaction all amounts
outstanding, including accrued interest and fees, under the Credit Agreement
were paid in full and the Credit Agreement was terminated.



     The Charter Transaction resulted in a "change of control" of the Company.
On May 28, 1999, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the indenture
governing the 10% senior discount notes (the "Notes"), the Company made an offer
(the "Purchase Offer") to purchase any and all of the Notes at 101% of their
accreted value, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, through June 28, 1999.
The Purchase Offer expired on June 23, 1999, and 48,762 notes ($1,000 face
amount at maturity) were validly tendered. On June 28, 1999, CC LLC made a
capital contribution in the amount of $34,223 enabling the Company to purchase
the Notes.



     The indenture governing the Notes limits cash payments by the Company to
the sum of: i) the amount by which consolidated EBITDA (as defined) exceeds 130%
of consolidated interest expense (as defined) determined on a cumulative basis,
ii) capital contributions, and iii) an amount equal to the net reduction in
investments (as defined). To the extent permitted by the indenture excess cash
will be distributed to CC LLC, including repayments of borrowings under Charter
Communications Operating, LLC's ("CCO") credit facility (the "CCO Credit
Agreement").



     The Company and all subsidiaries of CCO have guaranteed payment and
performance by CCO of its obligations under the CCO Credit Agreement. In
addition, Group and its wholly owned subsidiaries, and all subsidiaries of CCO
have pledged their ownership interests as collateral to the CCO Credit
Agreement.



5.  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS



     In connection with the TWI Acquisition, Media entered into an agreement
with Time Warner, pursuant to which Time Warner would manage the Company's
programming in exchange for providing the Company access to certain Time Warner
programming arrangements (the "Time Warner Agreement"). Management believes that
these programming rates made available through its relationship with Time Warner
are lower than the Company could obtain separately. Such volume rates are not
available after the Charter Transaction.



     For the four months ended April 30, 1999, the Company incurred $2,716 for
programming services under this agreement. For the period from April 9, 1998 to
June 30, 1998 the programming services incurred under this agreement were
$1,300. In addition, the Company incurred programming costs of $958 and $1,000
for programming services owned directly or indirectly by Time Warner entities
for the four months ended April 30, 1999 and for the period from April 9, 1998
to June 30, 1998, respectively.



     In connection with the Charter Transaction, the Time Warner Agreement was
terminated on April 30, 1999, and Media returned to Time Warner $650 in deferred
marketing credits owed to program providers under the programming arrangements.



     The Company has utilized the law firm of one of its board members for legal
services related to the TWI Acquisition, financing agreements and various
ongoing legal matters. These fees totaled approximately $154 and $-0- for the
four months ended April 30, 1999 and for the period from April 9, 1998 to June
30, 1998, respectively.

                  RENAISSANCE MEDIA GROUP LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES



      NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)



     Prior to the consummation of the TWI Acquisition, Media paid fees to six
senior managers of the Company who are investors in the Company for services
rendered relating to the Acquisition and the Credit Agreement. These fees
totaled $287 for the period from April 9, 1998 to June 30, 1998 and were
recorded as transaction and financing costs.



6.  EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN



     Beginning April 9, 1998, the Company sponsored a defined contribution plan
that covered substantially all employees (the "Plan"). The Plan provided for
contributions from eligible employees up to 15% of their compensation subject to
a maximum limit as determined by the Internal Revenue Service. The Company's
contribution to the Plan was limited to 50% of each eligible employee's
contribution up to 10% of his or her compensation. The Company had the right to
change the amount of the Company's matching contribution percentage. The Company
matching contributions totaled $54 for the four months ended April 30, 1999 and
$32 for the period from April 9, 1998 to June 30, 1998.



     In connection with the Charter Transaction, the Plan's assets were frozen
as of April 30, 1999, and employees became fully vested. Effective July 1, 1999,
the Company's employees with two months of service are eligible to participate
in the Charter Communications, Inc. 401(k) Plan (the "Charter Plan"). Employees
that qualify for participation in the Charter Plan can contribute up to 15% of
their salary, on a before tax basis, subject to a maximum contribution limit as
determined by the Internal Revenue Service.

           NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                 JUNE 30, 1999


1.  ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS


     Helicon Partners I, L.P. ("the Partnership") was organized as a limited
partnership on November 30, 1994 under the laws of the State of Delaware. On
April 8, 1996, Baum Investments, Inc. acquired a 1% general partnership interest
in the Partnership through an initial capital contribution of $1,500 and the
existing limited partners of The Helicon Group, L.P. ("THGLP"), formed in 1993,
exchanged their limited partnership interests in THGLP for all Class A Common
Limited Partnership Interests and Preferred Limited Partnership Interests in the
Partnership. As a result of this exchange, THGLP became 99% owned by the
Partnership. The Partnership now owns all of the limited partnership interests
in THGLP and Baum Investments, Inc. ("Baum") continues to be the general partner
of THGLP and to own a 1% general partnership interest in THGLP. The Partnership
also owns a 99% interest and THGLP a 1% interest in HPI Acquisition Co., LLC
("HPIAC"), a Delaware limited liability company formed on February 7, 1996. The
Partnership also owns a 89% limited partnership interest and Baum Investments,
Inc. a 1% general partnership interest in Helicon OnLine, L. P. ("HOL"), a
Delaware limited partnership formed May 31, 1997. The Partnership, THGLP, HPIAC
and HOL are referred to collectively herein as the Company.


     The Partnership operates in one business segment offering cable television
services in the states of Pennsylvania, West Virginia, North Carolina, South
Carolina, Louisiana, Vermont and New Hampshire, Georgia and Tennessee. The
Company also offers to customers advanced services, such as paging, cable modems
and private data network systems under the name of "Helicon Network Solutions",
as well as, dial up internet service in Pennsylvania and Vermont under the name
of "Helicon OnLine".


     On July 30, 1999, Charter-Helicon, LLC ("Charter-Helicon"), acquired a 1%
interest in THGLP previously owned by Baum Investments, Inc. and became the
General Partner of THGLP. Concurrently, Charter-Helicon and Charter
Communications, LLC ("CC-LLC"), parent of Charter-Helicon, acquired all of the
partnership interests of the Partnership. These transactions are collectively
referred to as the "Helicon/Charter Deal" herein. In connection with the
Helicon/Charter Deal, $228,985,000 of cash was paid to the equity holders; Baum
retained a $25,000,000 limited liability company membership interest in
Charter-Helicon; debt of $197,447,000 was repaid; debt of $115,000,000 was
assumed; and other costs totaling $4,285,000 were incurred. Effective with this
change of ownership, the Company will be managed by Charter Investment, Inc.



     In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed combined
financial statements of the Partnership reflect all adjustments, consisting of
normal recurring accruals, necessary to present fairly the Partnership's
combined financial position as of June 30, 1999, and their results of operations
and cash flows for the three-month periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1999. The
results of operations for the three-month period ended June 30, 1999 are not
necessarily indicative of the results for a full year.

television assets in North Carolina. On February 19, 1999, the Company borrowed

the $12,000,000 is payable at 11.5% per annum.

1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

THE CHARTER TRANSACTIONS


     InterMedia Partners, a California limited partnership ("IP-I"), and
InterMedia Capital Partners IV, L.P., a California limited partnership,
("ICP-IV", together with IP-I, "InterMedia") are affiliated through common
control and management. Robin Media Group, Inc., a Nevada corporation, ("RMG")
is a majority owned subsidiary of ICP-IV. On April 20, 1999, InterMedia and
certain of its affiliates entered into agreements (the "Agreements") with
affiliates of Charter Communications, Inc. ("Charter") to sell and exchange
certain of their cable television systems ("the Charter Transactions").


     Specifically, ICP-IV and its affiliates have agreed to sell certain of
their cable television systems in Tennessee and Gainesville, Georgia through a
combination of asset sales and the sale of their equity interests in RMG, and to
exchange their systems in and around Greenville and Spartanburg, South Carolina
for Charter systems located in Indiana, Kentucky, Utah and Montana. Immediately
upon Charter's acquisition of RMG, IP-I will exchange its cable television
systems in Athens, Georgia, Asheville and Marion, North Carolina and Cleveland,
Tennessee for RMG's cable television systems located in middle Tennessee.


     The Charter Transactions are expected to close during the third or fourth
quarter of 1999. The cable systems retained by Charter upon consummation of the
Charter Transactions, together with RMG, are referred to as the "InterMedia
Cable Systems," or the "Systems."


PRESENTATION

     The Systems being sold or exchanged do not individually or collectively
comprise a separate legal entity. Accordingly, the accompanying condensed
combined financial statements have been carved-out from the historical
accounting records of InterMedia.


     The accompanying unaudited interim condensed combined financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
for interim financial information. Accordingly, certain footnote disclosures
have been condensed or omitted. In the management's opinion, the interim
unaudited condensed combined financial statements reflect all adjustments
(consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair
presentation of the Systems' financial position as of June 30, 1999, and their
results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 and cash
flows for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998. The results of operations
for these periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected
for the year ending December 31, 1999. These condensed combined financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the Systems' audited combined
financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 1998
contained elsewhere in this document.


CARVE-OUT METHODOLOGY

     Throughout the periods covered by the condensed combined financial
statements, the individual cable systems were operated and accounted for
separately. However, the Charter Transactions exclude certain systems (the
"Excluded Systems") which were operated as part of

                                      F-272

the Marion, North Carolina and western Tennessee systems throughout 1998 and
1999. For purposes of carving out and excluding the results of operations and
financial position of the Excluded Systems from the condensed combined financial
statements, management has estimated the revenues, expenses, assets and
liabilities associated with each Excluded System based on the ratio of each
Excluded System's basic subscribers to the total basic subscribers served by the
Marion, North Carolina and western Tennessee systems, respectively. Management
believes the basis used for these allocations is reasonable. The Systems'
results of operations are not necessarily indicative of future operating results
or the results that would have occurred if the Systems were a separate legal
entity.


     Management and consulting fees represent an allocation of management fees
charged to IP-I and ICP-IV by InterMedia Capital Management, a California
limited partnership ("ICM") and InterMedia Management, Inc. ("IMI"),
respectively. ICM is a limited partner of IP-I. IMI is the managing member of
each of the general partners of IP-I and ICP-IV. These fees are charged at a
fixed amount per annum pursuant to a management agreement and have been
allocated to the Systems based upon the allocated contributed capital of the
individual systems as compared to the total contributed capital of InterMedia's
subsidiaries.


     As more fully described in Note 4 -- "Related Party Transactions," certain
administrative services are also provided by IMI and are charged to all
affiliates based on relative basic subscriber percentages.

CASH AND INTERCOMPANY ACCOUNTS


     Under InterMedia's centralized cash management system, cash requirements of
its individual operating units were generally provided directly by InterMedia
and the cash generated or used by the Systems is transferred to/from InterMedia,
as appropriate, through intercompany accounts. The intercompany account balances
between InterMedia and the individual operating units, except RMG's intercompany
note payable to InterMedia Partners IV, L.P. ("IP-IV"), as described in
Note 3 -- "Note Payable to InterMedia Partners IV, L.P.," are not intended to be
settled. Accordingly, the balances, other than RMG's note payable to IP-IV, are
included in equity and all net cash generated from operations, investing
activities and financing activities have been included in the Systems' net
(distributions) contributions to/from parent in the combined statements of cash
flows.



     IP-I and ICP-IV or its subsidiaries maintain all external debt to fund and
manage InterMedia's operations on a centralized basis. The condensed combined
financial statements present only the debt and related interest expense of RMG,
which is to be assumed and repaid by Charter pursuant to the Charter
Transactions. See Note 3 -- "Note Payable to InterMedia Partners IV, L.P." Debt,
unamortized debt issue costs and interest expense related to the financing of
the cable systems not owned by RMG have not been allocated to the InterMedia
Cable Systems. As such, the level of debt, unamortized debt issue costs and
related interest expense presented in the condensed combined financial
statements are not representative of the debt that would be required or interest
expense incurred if the InterMedia Cable Systems were a separate legal entity.

USE OF ESTIMATES IN THE PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

2.  EXCHANGE OF CABLE PROPERTIES

EXCHANGE

     On December 31, 1998, certain of the Systems' cable television assets
located in and around western and eastern Tennessee ("Exchanged Assets"),
serving approximately 10,600 (unaudited) basic subscribers, plus cash of $398
were exchanged for other cable television assets located in and around western
and eastern Tennessee, serving approximately 10,000 (unaudited) basic
subscribers.

     The exchange resulted in a gain of $26,218 calculated as the difference
between the fair value of the assets received and the net book value of the
Exchanged Assets less cash paid of $398.

3.  NOTE PAYABLE TO INTERMEDIA PARTNERS IV, L.P.

     RMG's note payable to IP-IV consists of the following:

     RMG's debt is outstanding under an intercompany revolving credit facility
executed with IP-IV. The revolving credit facility currently provides for
$1,200,000 of available credit.


     RMG's intercompany revolving credit facility requires repayment of the
outstanding principal and accrued interest on the earlier of (i) December 31,
2006, or (ii) acceleration of any of IP-IV's obligations to repay its bank debt
outstanding under its revolving credit facility ("IP-IV Revolving Credit
Facility") and term loan agreement ("IP-IV Term Loan", together with the IP-IV
Revolving Credit Facility, the "IP-IV Bank Facility") dated July 30, 1996.



     Interest rates under RMG's intercompany revolving credit facility are
calculated monthly and are referenced to those made available under the IP-IV
Bank Facility. Interest rates ranged from 6.24% to 6.84% during the six months
ended June 30, 1999.


     Charter has an obligation to assume and repay RMG's intercompany revolving
credit facility pursuant to the Charter Transactions.

     Advances under the IP-IV Bank Facility are available under interest rate
options related to the base rate of the administrative agent for the IP-IV Bank
Facility ("ABR") or LIBOR. Interest rates on borrowings under the IP-IV Term
Loan vary from LIBOR plus 1.75% to LIBOR plus 2.00% or ABR plus 0.50% to ABR
plus 0.75% based on IP-IV's ratio of debt outstanding to annualized quarterly
operating cash flow ("Senior Debt Ratio"). Interest rates on borrowings under
the IP-IV Revolving Credit Facility also vary from LIBOR plus 0.625% to LIBOR
plus 1.50% or ABR to ABR plus 0.25% based on IP-IV's Senior Debt Ratio. The
IP-IV Bank Facility requires quarterly payment of fees on the unused portion of
the IP-IV Revolving Credit Facility of 0.375% per annum when the Senior Debt
Ratio is greater than 4.0:1.0 and at 0.25% when the Senior Debt Ratio is less
than or equal to 4.0:1.0.

     The terms and conditions of RMG's intercompany debt agreement are not
necessarily indicative of the terms and conditions which would be available if
the Systems were a separate legal entity.

4.  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS


     ICM and IMI provide certain management services to IP-I and ICP-IV,
respectively, for per annum fixed fees, of which 20% per annum is deferred and
payable in each following year in order to support InterMedia's debt. Management
fees charged to InterMedia were $2,706 for the six months ended June 30, 1999
and 1998. Of the fees charged to InterMedia, $1,566 and $1,562 were charged to
the Systems for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively.



     IMI has entered into agreements with both IP-I and ICP-IV to provide
accounting and administrative services at cost. Under the terms of the
agreements, the expenses associated with rendering these services are charged to
the Systems and other affiliates based upon relative basic subscriber
percentages. Management believes this method to be reflective of the actual
cost. Administrative fees charged by IMI were $2,009 and $2,070 for the six
months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Receivable from affiliates at
June 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998 include $45 and $52, respectively, of
advances to IMI, net of administrative fees charged by IMI and operating
expenses paid by IMI on behalf of the Systems.



     IP-I is majority-owned, and ICP-IV is owned in part, by AT&T Broadband &
Internet Services ("AT&TBIS"), formerly Tele-Communications, Inc. As affiliates
of AT&TBIS, IP-I and ICP-IV are able to purchase programming services from a
subsidiary of AT&TBIS. Management believes that the overall programming rates
made available through this relationship are lower than the Systems could obtain
separately. Such volume rates may not continue to be available in the future
should AT&TBIS's ownership interest in InterMedia significantly decrease.
Programming fees charged by the AT&TBIS subsidiary to the Systems for the six
months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 amounted to $17,276 and $14,399,
respectively. Payable to affiliates includes programming fees payable to the
AT&TBIS subsidiary of $3,151 and $2,918 at June 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998,
respectively.



     On January 1, 1998 an affiliate of AT&TBIS entered into agreements with
InterMedia to manage the Systems' advertising business and related services for
an annual fixed fee per advertising sales subscriber, as defined by the
agreements. In addition to the annual fixed fee AT&TBIS is entitled to varying
percentage shares of the incremental growth in annual cash flows

from advertising sales above specified targets. Management fees charged by the
AT&TBIS subsidiary for the six months ended June 30, 1999 amounted to $202.
Receivable from affiliates at June 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998 includes
$5,069 and $3,437, respectively, of receivables from AT&TBIS for advertising
sales.



     As part of its normal course of business the Systems are involved in
transactions with affiliates of InterMedia which own and operate cable
television systems. Such transactions include purchases and sales at cost of
inventories used in construction of cable plant. Receivable from affiliates at
June 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998 include $136 and $2,134, respectively, of
receivables from affiliated systems. Payable to affiliates at June 30, 1999 and
December 31, 1998 includes $1,410 and $208, respectively, of payables to
affiliated systems.


5.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES


     The Systems are committed to provide cable television services under
franchise agreements with remaining terms of up to twenty years. Franchise fees
of up to 5% of gross revenues are payable under these agreements.



     Current Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") regulations require that
cable television operators obtain permission to retransmit major network and
certain local television station signals. The Systems have entered into
retransmission agreements with all applicable stations in exchange for in-kind
and/or other consideration.



     InterMedia has been named in several certified class actions in various
jurisdictions concerning its late fee charges and practices. Certain cable
systems owned by InterMedia charge late fees to customers who do not pay their
cable bills on time. These late fee cases challenge the amount of the late fees
and the practices under which they are imposed. The Plaintiffs raise claims
under state consumer protection statutes, other state statutes and common law.
Plaintiffs generally allege that the late fees charged by InterMedia's cable
systems in the States of Tennessee, South Carolina and Georgia are not
reasonably related to the costs incurred by the cable systems as a result of
late payment. Plaintiffs seek to require cable systems to reduce their late fees
on a prospective basis and to provide compensation for alleged excessive late
fee charges for past periods. These cases are either at the early stages of the
litigation process or are subject to a case management order that sets forth a
process leading to mediation. Based upon the facts available management believes
that, although no assurances can be given as to the outcome of these actions,
the ultimate disposition of these matters should not have a material adverse
effect upon the financial condition of the Systems.



     Under existing Tennessee laws and regulations, the Systems paid an
Amusement Tax in the form of a sales tax on programming service revenues
generated in Tennessee in excess of charges for the basic and expanded basic
levels of service. Under the existing statute, only the service charges or fees
in excess of the charges for the "basic cable" television service package were
not exempt from the Amusement Tax. Related regulations clarify the definition of
basic cable to include two tiers of service, which InterMedia's management and
other operators in Tennessee have interpreted to mean both the basic and
expanded basic levels of service.



     In the Spring of 1999 Tennessee Department of Revenue ("TDOR") proposed
legislation that was passed by the Tennessee State Legislature which replaced
the current Amusement Tax

with a new sales tax on all cable service revenues in excess of fifteen dollars
per month effective September 1, 1999. The new tax would be computed at a rate
approximately equal to the existing effective tax rate.



     Prior to the passage of the new sales tax legislation, the TDOR suggested
that unless InterMedia and other cable operators in Tennessee support the
proposed legislation, it would assess additional taxes on prior years' expanded
basic service revenue. The TDOR can issue an assessment for prior periods up to
three years. Management estimates that the amount of such an assessment, if made
for all periods not previously audited, would be approximately $5.4 million.
InterMedia's management believes that it is possible but not likely that the
TDOR can make such an assessment and prevail in defending it. Management also
believes that such an assessment is not likely based on the passage of the new
sales tax legislation.



     InterMedia's management believes it has made a valid interpretation of the
current Tennessee statute and regulations and that it has properly determined
and paid all sales tax due. InterMedia further believes that the legislative
history of the current statute and related regulations, as well as the TDOR's
history of not making assessments based on audits of prior periods, support
InterMedia's interpretation. InterMedia and other cable operators in Tennessee
are aggressively defending their past practices on calculation and payment of
the Amusement Tax.



     The Systems are subject to other claims and litigation in the ordinary
course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate outcome of any
existing litigation or other claims will not have a material adverse effect on
the Systems' financial position or results of operations.


6.  CHANNEL LAUNCH REVENUE


     During 1997 and 1998, the Systems were credited with amounts representing
their share of payments received or to be received by InterMedia from certain
programmers to launch and promote their new channels. Of the total amount
credited, the Systems recognized advertising revenue of $333 during the six
months ended June 30, 1999 for advertisements provided by the Systems to promote
the new channels. No advertising revenue was recognized for the six-month period
ended June 30, 1998 related to the promotion of these new channels. The
remaining amounts credited to the Systems are being amortized over the
respective terms of the program agreements which range between five and ten
years. The Systems amortized and recorded as other service revenues of $316 and
$350 for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively.


7.  SUPPLEMENTAL DISCLOSURES TO CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS


     Total accretion on RMG's Redeemable Preferred Stock for the six months
ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 amounted to $492 and $459, respectively.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.  ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

ORGANIZATION

     Rifkin Cable Income Partners L.P. (the "Partnership") was formed in 1986 as
a limited partnership under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Partnership
owns, operates and develops cable television systems in Missouri and New Mexico.
Rifkin Cable Management Partners L.P., an affiliate of Rifkin & Associates,
Inc., is the general partner of the Partnership.

     The Partnership Agreement (the "Agreement") establishes the respective
rights, obligations and interests of the partners. The Agreement provides that
net income or loss, certain capital events, and cash distributions (all as
defined in the Agreement) are generally allocated 43% to the general partner and
57% to the limited partners.

ACQUISITION BY INTERLINK COMMUNICATIONS PARTNERS, LLLP


     Effective December 31, 1998, InterLink Communications Partners, LLLP
("ICP") acquired 100% of the Partnership. This transaction was accounted for as
a purchase, as such, assets and liabilities were written up to their fair market
value. The December 31, 1998 audited financial statements represent the
Partnership just prior to this transaction. The June 30, 1999 unaudited
financial statements represent the new basis of accounting as property, plant
and equipment and franchise cost which were written up by $6,398,400 and
$11,701600, respectively.



     Accordingly, the June 30, 1999 unaudited financial statements of the
Partnership are not comparable to the December 31, 1998 audited financial
statements of the Partnership, which are based upon historic costs.


BASIS OF PRESENTATION


     The accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited. However,
in the opinion of management, the financial statements reflect all adjustments,
consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for fair presentation in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to interim
periods. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 1999 are
not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for the full
fiscal year and cannot be used to indicate financial performance for the entire
year. The accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the December 31, 1998 audited financial statements of Rifkin Cable Income
Partners L.P.



     Effective April 1, 1999, ICP completed the purchase of the remaining
general partner interest in the Partnership and the Partnership was merged into
ICP and ceased to exist as a separate legal entity. The Partnership's financial
statements subsequent to that date represent a divisional carve-out from ICP.
These financial statements include all the direct costs of operating its
business; however, certain assets, liabilities and costs not specifically
related to the Partnership's activities were allocated and reflected in the
financial position as of June 30, 1999, and the results of its operations and
its cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 1999. Management believes these
allocations were made on a reasonable basis. Nonetheless, the financial
information included herein may not necessarily reflect what the financial
position and results of operations of the Partnership would have been as a
stand-alone entity.



ACQUISITION BY CHARTER COMMUNICATIONS HOLDINGS, LLC



     On February 12, 1999, ICP signed a letter of intent to sell all of ICP's
partnership interests to Charter Communications Holdings, LLC ("Charter"). On
April 26, 1999, ICP signed a definitive


                                      F-282
<PAGE>   452
                       RIFKIN CABLE INCOME PARTNERS L.P.

                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

Purchase and Sale Agreement with Charter for the sale of the individual
partners' interest. ICP and Charter are expected to complete the sale during the
third quarter of 1999.

2.  LITIGATION


     The Partnership could possibly be named as defendant in various actions and
proceedings arising from the normal course of business. In all such cases, the
Partnership will vigorously defend itself against the litigation and, where
appropriate, will file counterclaims. Although the eventual outcome of potential
lawsuits cannot be predicted, it is management's opinion that any such lawsuit
will not result in liabilities that would have a material effect on the
Partnership's financial position or results of operations.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.  GENERAL INFORMATION


     Rifkin Acquisition Partners, L.P. ("RAP L.P.") was formed on December 16,
1988, pursuant to the laws of the State of Colorado, for the purpose of
acquiring and operating cable television (CATV) systems. On September 1, 1995,
RAP L.P. registered as a limited liability limited partnership, Rifkin
Acquisition Partners, L.L.L.P. (the "Partnership"), pursuant to the laws of the
State of Colorado. Rifkin Acquisition Management, L.P., was the general partner
of RAP L.P. and is the general partner of the Partnership ("General Partner").
The Partnership and its subsidiaries are hereinafter referred to on a
consolidated basis as the "Company."


     The Partnership operates under a limited liability limited partnership
agreement (the "Partnership Agreement") which establishes contribution
requirements, enumerates the rights and responsibilities of the partners and
advisory committee, provides for allocations of income, losses and
distributions, and defines certain items relating thereto.


     These statements have been completed in conformity with the SEC
requirements for unaudited consolidated financial statements for the Company and
does not contain all of the necessary footnote disclosures required for a fair
presentation of the balance sheets, statements of operations, of partners'
capital(deficit), and of cash flows in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles. However, in the opinion of management, this data includes
all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals necessary to present
fairly the consolidated financial position at June 30, 1999, December 31, 1998
and June 30, 1998, and its consolidated results of operations and cash flows for
the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998. The consolidated financial

Sale Agreement with Charter for the sale of the individual partners' interest.
The Company and Charter are expected to complete the sale during the third

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                  (UNAUDITED)

1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION


     The accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited. However,
in the opinion of management, the financial statements reflect all adjustments,
consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for fair presentation in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to interim
periods. Interim results of operations are not indicative of results for the
full year. The accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the audited consolidated financial statements of Indiana Cable Associates,
Ltd. (the "Partnership").



     Effective April 1, 1999, InterLink Communications Partners, LLLP ("ICP")
completed the purchase of the remaining general partner interest in the
Partnership and the Partnership was merged into ICP and ceased to exist as a
separate legal entity. Indiana Cable Associates' financial statements subsequent
to that date represent a divisional carve-out from ICP. These financial
statements include all the direct costs of operating its business; however,
certain assets, liabilities and costs not specifically related to the
Partnership's activities were allocated and reflected in the financial position
as of June 30, 1999, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for
the six months ended June 30, 1999. Management believes these allocations were
made on a reasonable basis. Nonetheless, the financial information included
herein may not necessarily reflect what the financial position and results of
operations of the Partnership would have been as a stand-alone entity.


2.  ACQUISITION BY INTERLINK COMMUNICATIONS PARTNERS, LLLP


     ICP agreed to purchase all of the Partnership interests as of December 31,
1998, for a total purchase price of approximately $32.7 million. The acquisition
of the Partnership by ICP was accounted for as a purchase and a new basis of
accounting was established effective January 1, 1999. The new basis resulted in
assets and liabilities being recorded at their fair market value resulting in a
increase in property, plant, and equipment and franchise costs of approximately
$7.0 million and approximately $16.8 million, respectively. Accordingly, the
1999 interim-unaudited financial statements are not comparable to the 1998
interim-unaudited financial statements of the Partnership, which are based on
historical costs.



3.  ACQUISITION BY CHARTER COMMUNICATIONS HOLDINGS, LLC


     On February 12, 1999, ICP signed a letter of intent to sell all of ICP's
partnership interests to Charter Communications Holdings, LLC ("Charter"). On
April 26, 1999, ICP signed a definitive Purchase and Sale Agreement with Charter
for the sale of the individual partners' interest. ICP and Charter are expected
to complete the sale during the third quarter of 1999.


4.  LITIGATION



     The Partnership could possibly be named as defendant in various actions and
proceedings arising from the normal course of business. In all such cases, the
Partnership will vigorously defend itself against the litigation and, where
appropriate, will file counterclaims. Although the eventual outcome of potential
lawsuits cannot be predicted, it is management's opinion that any such lawsuit
will not result in liabilities that would have a material affect on the
Partnership's financial position or results of operations.

             R/N SOUTH FLORIDA CABLE MANAGEMENT LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (UNAUDITED)


1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION



     The accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited. However,
in the opinion of management, the financial statements reflect all adjustments,
consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for fair presentation in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to interim
periods. Interim results of operations are not indicative of results for the
full year. The accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the December 31, 1998 audited consolidated financial statements of R/N
South Florida Cable Management Limited Partnership (the "Partnership").



     Effective April 1, 1999, InterLink Communications Partners, LLLP ("ICP")
completed the purchase of the remaining general partner interest in the
Partnership and the Partnership was merged into ICP and ceased to exist as a
separate legal entity. The Partnership's financial statements subsequent to that
date represent a divisional carve-out from ICP. These financial statements
include all the direct costs of operating its business; however, certain assets,
liabilities and costs not specifically related to the Partnership's activities
were allocated and reflected in the financial position as of June 30, 1999, and
the results of its operations and its cash flows for the six months ended June
30, 1999. Management believes these allocations were made on a reasonable basis.
Nonetheless, the financial information included herein may not necessarily
reflect what the financial position and results of operations of the Partnership
would have been as a stand-alone entity.


2.  ACQUISITION BY INTERLINK COMMUNICATIONS PARTNERS, LLLP


     ICP agreed to purchase all of the Partnership interests as of December 31,
1998, for a total purchase price of approximately $105.5 million. The
acquisition of the Partnership by ICP was accounted for as a purchase and a new
basis of accounting was established effective January 1, 1999. The new basis
resulted in assets and liabilities being recorded at their fair market value
resulting in a increase in property, plant, and equipment and franchise costs of
approximately $5.0 million and approximately $77.1 million, respectively.
Accordingly, the 1999 interim-unaudited financial statements are not comparable
to the 1998 interim-unaudited financial statements of the Partnership, which are
based on historical costs.


3.  DEBT


     On December 30, 1998, the Partnership obtained an interpartnership loan
agreement with ICP. Borrowings under the interpartnership loan, as well as
interest and principal payments are due at the discretion of the management of
ICP. The balance of the interpartnership loan at December 31, 1998 and June 30,
1999 was $31,222,436 and $29,181,690, respectively. The interest rate at both
December 31, 1998 and June 30, 1999 was 8.5%


4.  ACQUISITION BY CHARTER COMMUNICATIONS HOLDINGS, LLC

     On February 12, 1999, ICP signed a letter of intent to sell all of ICP's
partnership interests to Charter Communications Holdings, LLC ("Charter"). On
April 26, 1999, ICP signed a definitive Purchase and Sale Agreement with Charter
for the sale of the individual partners' interest. ICP and Charter are expected
to complete the sale during the third quarter of 1999.

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)


5.  LITIGATION



     The Partnership could possibly be named as defendant in various actions and
proceedings arising from the normal course of business. In all such cases, the
Partnership will vigorously defend itself against the litigation and, where
appropriate, will file counterclaims. Although the eventual outcome of potential
lawsuits cannot be predicted, it is management's opinion that any such lawsuit
will not result in liabilities that would have a material affect on the
Partnership's financial position or results of operations.

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Board of Managers
of Avalon Cable LLC

     In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the
related consolidated statements of operations, changes in members' interest and
cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Avalon Cable LLC and its subsidiaries (the "Company") at December 31, 1997 and
1998 and the results of their operations, changes in members' interest and their
cash flows for the period from September 4, 1997 (inception), through December
31, 1997 and for the year ended December 31, 1998 in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management; our responsibility is to express an
opinion on the financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits
of these statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards
which require that we plan and perform the audits 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, assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

                       AVALON CABLE LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               DECEMBER 31, 1998
                             (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

     Avalon Cable LLC ("Avalon"), and its wholly owned subsidiaries Avalon Cable
Holdings Finance, Inc. ("Avalon Holdings Finance") and Avalon Cable of Michigan
LLC ("Avalon Michigan"), were formed in October 1998, pursuant to the laws of
the State of Delaware, as a wholly owned subsidiary of Avalon Cable of New
England Holdings, Inc. ("Avalon New England Holdings").

     On November 6, 1998, Avalon New England Holdings contributed its 100%
interest in Avalon Cable of New England LLC ("Avalon New England") to Avalon in
exchange for a membership interest in Avalon. This contribution was between
entities under common control and was accounted for similar to a
pooling-of-interests. Under this pooling-of-interests method, the results of
operations for Avalon include the results of operations from the date of
inception (September 4, 1997) of Avalon New England. On that same date, Avalon
received $63,000 from affiliated entities, which was comprised of (i) a $45,000
capital contribution by Avalon Investors, LLC ("Avalon Investors") and (ii) a
$18,000 promissory note from Avalon Cable Holdings LLC ("Avalon Holdings"),
which was used to make a $62,800 cash contribution to Avalon New England.

     The cash contribution received by Avalon New England was used to (i)
extinguish existing indebtedness of $29,600 and (ii) fund a $33,200 loan to
Avalon Holdings Finance which matures on December 31, 2001.

     On December 10, 1998, Avalon received a dividend distribution from Avalon
New England in the amount of $18,206, which was used by Avalon to pay off the
promissory note payable to Avalon Holdings, plus accrued interest.

     Avalon Cable of Michigan, Inc. was formed in June 1998, pursuant to the
laws of the state of Delaware, as a wholly owned subsidiary of Avalon Cable of
Michigan Holdings, Inc. ("Michigan Holdings".) On June 3, 1998, Avalon Cable of
Michigan, Inc. entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Agreement")
among Avalon Cable of Michigan, Inc., Michigan Holdings and Cable Michigan, Inc.
("Cable Michigan"), pursuant to which Avalon Cable of Michigan, Inc. will merge
into Cable Michigan and Cable Michigan will become a wholly owned subsidiary of
Michigan Holdings (the "Merger"). As part of the Merger, the name of the company
was changed to Avalon Cable of Michigan, Inc.

     In accordance with the terms of the Agreement, each share of common stock,
par value $1.00 per share ("common stock"), of Cable Michigan outstanding prior
to the effective time of the Merger (other than treasury stock shares owned by
Michigan Holdings or its subsidiaries, or shares as to which dissenters' rights
have been exercised) shall be converted into the right to receive $40.50 in cash
(the "Merger Consideration"), subject to certain possible closing adjustments.

     In conjunction with the acquisition of Cable Michigan, Avalon Cable of
Michigan, Inc. acquired Cable Michigan's 62% ownership interest in Mercom, Inc.
("Mercom").

     On November 6, 1998, Avalon Cable of Michigan, Inc. completed its Merger.
The total consideration payable in conjunction with the Merger, including fees
and expenses is $431,629, including repayment of all existing Cable Michigan
indebtedness and accrued interest of $135,205. Subsequent to the Merger, the
arrangements with RCN and CTE for certain support

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

services were terminated. The Agreement also permitted Avalon Cable of Michigan,
Inc. to agree to acquire the remaining shares of Mercom that it did not own.

     Michigan Holdings contributed $137,375 in cash to Avalon Cable of Michigan,
Inc., which was used to consummate the Merger. On November 5, 1998, Michigan
Holdings received $105,000 in cash in exchange for promissory notes to lenders
(the "Bridge Agreement"). On November 6, 1998, Michigan Holdings contributed the
proceeds received from the Bridge Agreement and an additional $35,000 in cash to
Avalon Cable of Michigan Inc. in exchange for 100 shares of common stock.

     On March 26, 1999, Avalon completed a series of transactions to facilitate
certain aspects of its financing between affiliated entities under common
control. As a result of these transactions:

     - Avalon Cable of Michigan Inc. contributed its assets and liabilities
       excluding deferred tax liabilities, net to Avalon in exchange for an
       approximate 88% voting interest in Avalon. Avalon contributed these
       assets and liabilities to its wholly-owned subsidiary, Avalon Cable of
       Michigan.

     - Avalon Michigan has become the operator of the Michigan cluster replacing
       Avalon Cable of Michigan, Inc.

     - Avalon Michigan is an obligor on the Senior Subordinated Notes replacing
       Avalon Cable of Michigan, Inc., and

     - Avalon Cable of Michigan, Inc. is a guarantor of the obligations of
       Avalon Michigan under the Senior Subordinated Notes. Avalon Cable of
       Michigan, Inc. does not have significant assets, other than its
       investment in Avalon.

     - Avalon is an obligor on the Senior Discount Notes replacing Avalon Cable
       of Michigan Holdings, Inc.

     As a result of the reorganization between entities under common control,
Avalon accounted for the reorganization similar to a pooling-of-interests. Under
the pooling-of-interests method, the results of operations for Avalon include
the results of operations from the date of inception (June 2, 1998) inception of
Avalon Cable of Michigan, Inc. and the date of acquisition of the completed
acquisitions.

     Avalon New England and Avalon Michigan provide cable service to the western
New England area and the state of Michigan, respectively. Avalon cable systems
offer customer packages of basic and premium cable programming services which
are offered at a per channel charge or are packaged together to form a tier of
services offered at a discount from the combined channel rate. Avalon cable
systems also provide premium cable services to their customers for an extra
monthly charge. Customers generally pay initial connection charges and fixed
monthly fees for cable programming and premium cable services, which constitute
the principal sources of revenue for Avalon.

     Avalon Holdings Finance was formed for the sole purpose of facilitating
financings associated with the acquisitions of various cable operating
companies. Avalon Holdings Finance conducts no other activities.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

  Principles of consolidation

     The consolidated financial statements of Avalon and its subsidiaries,
include the accounts of Avalon and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Avalon New
England, Avalon Michigan and Avalon Holdings Finance (collectively, the
"Company"). All significant transactions between Avalon and its subsidiaries
have been eliminated.

  Use of estimates

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and use
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the
disclosure for contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reported period. Actual results may vary from estimates used.

  Revenue recognition

     Revenue is recognized as cable services are provided. Installation fee
revenue is recognized in the period in which the installation occurs to the
extent that direct selling costs meet or exceed installation revenues.

  Advertising costs

     Advertising costs are charged to operations as incurred. Advertising costs
were $82 for the year ended December 31, 1998.

  Concentration of credit risk

     Financial instruments which potentially expose the Company to a
concentration of credit risk include cash and subscriber and other receivables.
The Company had cash in excess of federally insured deposits at financial
institutions at December 31, 1998. The Company does not believe that such
deposits are subject to any unusual credit risk beyond the normal credit risk
associated with operating its business. The Company extends credit to customers
on an unsecured basis in the normal course of business. The Company maintains
reserves for potential credit losses and such losses, in the aggregate, have not
historically exceeded management's expectations. The Company's trade receivables
reflect a customer base centered in the state of Michigan and New England. The
Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers; as a result,
concentrations of credit risk are limited.

  Property, plant and equipment

     Property, plant and equipment is stated at its fair value for items
acquired from Cable Michigan, historical cost for the minority interests share
of Mercom property, plant and equipment and cost for additions subsequent to the
merger. Initial subscribers installation costs, including materials, labor and
overhead costs, are capitalized as a component of cable plant and equipment. The
cost of disconnection and reconnection are charged to expense when incurred.

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

Depreciation is computed for financial statement purposes using the
straight-line method based upon the following lives:

<TABLE>
<S>                                                           <C>

Cable plant and equipment...................................   5-12 years
Office furniture and equipment..............................   5-10 years
Buildings and improvements..................................  10-25 years
</TABLE>

  Intangible assets

     Intangible assets represent the estimated fair value of cable franchises
and goodwill resulting from acquisitions. Goodwill is the excess of the purchase
price over the fair value of the net assets acquired, determined through an
independent appraisal. Deferred financing costs represent direct costs incurred
to obtain long-term financing and are amortized to interest expense over the
term of the underlying debt utilizing the effective interest method.
Amortization is computed for financial statement purposes using the
straight-line method based upon the anticipated economic lives:

<TABLE>

Cable franchises............................................    13-15 years
Goodwill....................................................       15 years
Non-compete agreement.......................................        5 years
</TABLE>

  Accounting for impairments

     The Company follows the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 121 -- "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for
Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of" ("SFAS 121").

     SFAS 121 requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable
intangibles to be held and used by an entity be reviewed for impairment whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset
may not be recoverable. In performing the review for recoverability, the Company
estimates the net future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset
and its eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected net future cash flows
(undiscounted and without interest charges) is less than the carrying amount of
the asset, an impairment loss is recognized. Measurement of an impairment loss
for long-lived assets and identifiable intangibles expected to be held and used
is based on the fair value of the asset.

     No impairment losses have been recognized by the Company pursuant to SFAS
121.

  Financial instruments

     The Company estimates that the fair value of all financial instruments at
December 31, 1998 does not differ materially from the aggregate carrying values
of its financial instruments recorded in the accompanying balance sheet. The
fair value of the notes payable-affiliate are considered to be equal to carrying
values since the Company believes that its credit risk has not changed from the
time this debt instrument was executed and therefore, would obtain a similar
rate in the current market.

  Income taxes

     The Company is not subject to federal and state income taxes since the
income or loss of the Company is included in the tax returns of Avalon Cable of
Michigan, Inc. and the Company's

                                      F-309

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

minority partners. However, Mercom, its majority-owned subsidiary is subject to
taxes that are accounted for using Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 109 -- "Accounting for Income Taxes". The statement requires the use of an
asset and liability approach for financial reporting purposes. The asset and
liability approach requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and
liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences
between financial reporting basis and tax basis of assets and liabilities. If it
is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will
not be realized, a valuation allowance is recognized.

3. MEMBERS' CAPITAL

     Avalon has authorized two classes of equity units; class A units ("Class A
Units") and class B units ("Class B Units") (collectively, the "Units"). Each
class of the Units represents a fractional part of the membership interests in
Avalon and has the rights and obligations specified in Avalon's Limited
Liability Company Agreement. Each Class B Unit is entitled to voting rights
equal to the percentage such units represents of the aggregate number of
outstanding Class B Units. The Class A Units are not entitled to voting rights.

  Class A Units

     The Class A Units are participating preferred equity interests. A preferred
return accrues annually (the Company's "Preferred Return") on the initial
purchase price (the Company's "Capital Value") of each Class A Unit at a rate of
15, or 17% under certain circumstances, per annum. The Company cannot pay
distributions in respect of other classes of securities including distributions
made in connection with a liquidation until the Company's Capital Value and
accrued Preferred Return in respect of each Class A Unit is paid to the holders
thereof (such distributions being the Company's "Priority Distributions"). So
long as any portion of the Company's Priority Distributions remains unpaid, the
holders of a majority of the Class A Units are entitled to block certain actions
by the Company including the payment of certain distributions, the issuance of
senior or certain types of pari passu equity securities or the entering into or
amending of certain related-party agreements. In addition to the Company's
Priority Distributions, each Class A Unit is also entitled to participate in
common distributions, pro rata according to the percentage such unit represents
of the aggregate number of the Company's units then outstanding.

  Class B Units

     The Class B Units are junior equity securities which are divided into two
identical subclasses, Class B-1 Units and Class B-2 Units. After the payment in
full of Avalon's Priority Distributions, each Class B Unit is entitled to
participate in distributions pro rata according to the percentage such unit
represents of the aggregate number of the Avalon units then outstanding.

4. MERGER AND ACQUISITIONS

     The Merger was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.
Accordingly, the consideration was allocated to the net assets acquired based on
their fair market values at the date of the Merger. The purchase price was
allocated as follows: current assets and liabilities at fair values of $470,
approximately $94,000 to property, plant and equipment, $315,000 to cable
franchises and the excess of consideration paid over the fair market value of
the net assets acquired, or goodwill, of $81,705, offset by deferred taxes net
of $60,000.

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

     The Merger agreement between Michigan Holdings and Avalon Cable of
Michigan, Inc. permitted Avalon Cable of Michigan, Inc. to agree to acquire the
1,822,810 shares (approximately 38% of the outstanding stock) of Mercom that it
did not own (the "Mercom Acquisition"). On September 10, 1998 Avalon Cable of
Michigan, Inc. and Mercom entered into a definitive agreement (the "Mercom
Merger Agreement") providing for the acquisition by Avalon Cable of Michigan,
Inc. of all of such shares at a price of $12.00 per share. Avalon Cable of
Michigan, Inc. completed this acquisition in March 1999. The total estimated
consideration payable in conjunction with the Mercom Acquisition, excluding fees
and expenses was $21,900.

     In March 1999, Avalon Michigan acquired the cable television systems of
Nova Cablevision, Inc., Nova Cablevision VI, L.P. and Nova Cablevision VII, L.P.
for approximately $7,800, excluding transaction fees.

     On May 29, 1998, the Company acquired certain assets of Amrac Clear View, A
Limited Partnership ("Amrac") for consideration of $8,124, including acquisition
costs of $589. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of
accounting. Accordingly, the consideration was allocated to the net assets
acquired based on the fair market values at the date of acquisition as
determined through the use of an independent appraisal. The excess of the
consideration paid over the estimated fair market value of the net assets
acquired, or goodwill, was $256.

     On July 21, 1998, the Company acquired certain assets and liabilities from
Pegasus Cable Television, Inc. and Pegasus Cable Television of Connecticut, Inc.
(collectively, "Pegasus") for consideration of $30,467, including acquisition
costs of $175. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of
accounting. Accordingly, the consideration was allocated to the net assets
acquired based on the fair market values at the date of acquisition as
determined through use of an independent appraisal. The excess of the
consideration paid over the estimated fair market value of the net assets

  Credit Facilities

     On May 28, 1998, Avalon New England entered into a term loan and revolving
credit agreement with a major commercial lending institution (the "Credit
Agreement"). The Credit Agreement allowed for aggregate borrowings under Term
Loans A and B (collectively, the "Term Loans") and a revolving credit facility
of $30,000 and $5,000, respectively. The proceeds from the Term Loans and
revolving credit facility were used to fund the acquisitions made by Avalon New
England and to provide for Avalon New England's working capital requirements.

     In December 1998, Avalon New England retired the Term Loans and revolving
credit agreement through the proceeds of a capital contribution from Avalon. The
fees and associated costs relating to the early retirement of this debt was
$1,110.

     On November 6, 1998, Avalon New England became a co-borrower along with
Avalon Michigan and Avalon Cable Finance, Inc. ("Avalon Finance"), affiliated
companies (collectively referred to as the "Co-Borrowers"), on a $320,888 senior
credit facility, which includes term loan facilities consisting of (i) tranche A
term loans of $120,888 and (ii) tranche B term loans of $170,000, and a
revolving credit facility of $30,000 (collectively, the "Credit Facility").
Subject to compliance with the terms of the Credit Facility, borrowings under
the Credit Facility will be available for working capital purposes, capital
expenditures and pending and future acquisitions. The ability to advance funds
under the tranche A term loan facility terminated on March 31, 1999. The tranche
A term loans are subject to minimum quarterly amortization payments commencing
on January 31, 2001 and maturing on October 31, 2005. The tranche B term loans
are subject to minimum quarterly payments commencing on January 31, 2001 with
substantially all of tranche B term loans scheduled to be repaid in two equal
installments on July 31, 2006 and October 31, 2006. The revolving credit
facility borrowings are scheduled to be repaid on October 31, 2005.

     On November 6, 1998, Avalon Michigan borrowed $265,888 under the Credit
Facility. In connection with the Senior Subordinated Notes and Senior Discount
Notes offerings, Avalon Michigan repaid $125,013 of the Credit Facility, and the
availability under the Credit Facility was reduced to $195,000. Avalon Michigan
had borrowings of $11,300 and $129,575 outstanding under the tranche A and
tranche B term note facilities, respectively, and had available $30,000 for
borrowings under the revolving credit facility. Avalon New England and Avalon
Finance had no borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility at December 31,
1998.

     The interest rate under the Credit Facility is a rate based on either (i)
the Base Rate (a rate per annum equal to the greater of the prime rate and the
federal funds rate plus one-half of 1%) or (ii) the Eurodollar Rate (a rate per
annum equal to the Eurodollar base rate divided by 1.00 less the Eurocurrency
reserve requirement plus, in either case, the applicable margin). As of

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

December 31, 1998, the applicable margin was (a) with respect to the tranche B
term loans was 2.75% per annum for Base Rate loans and 3.75% per annum for
Eurodollar loans and (b) with respect to tranche A term loans and the revolving
credit facility was 2.00% per annum for Base Rate loans and 3.00% for Eurodollar
loans. The applicable margin for the tranche A term loans and the revolving
credit facility are subject to performance based grid pricing which is
determined based upon the consolidated leverage ratio of the Co-Borrowers. The
interest rate for the tranche A and tranche B term loans outstanding at December
31, 1998 was 8.58% and 9.33%, respectively. Interest is payable on a quarterly
basis. Accrued interest on the borrowings incurred by Avalon Cable of Michigan
Inc. under the credit facility was $1,389 at December 31, 1998.

     The Credit Facility contains restrictive covenants which among other things
require the Co-Borrowers to maintain certain ratios including consolidated
leverage ratios and the interest coverage ratio, fixed charge ratio and debt
service coverage ratio.

     The obligations of the Co-Borrowers under the Credit Facility are secured
by substantially all of the assets of the Co-Borrowers. In addition, the
obligations of the Co-Borrowers under the Credit Facility are guaranteed by
affiliated companies; Avalon Cable of Michigan Holdings, Inc., Avalon Cable
Finance Holdings, Inc., Avalon New England Holdings, Inc., Avalon Cable
Holdings, LLC and the Company.

     A Change of Control as defined under the Credit Facility agreement would
constitute an event of default under the Credit Facility giving the lender the
right to terminate the credit commitment and declare all amounts outstanding
immediately due and payable.

  Subordinated Debt

     In December 1998, Avalon New England and Avalon Michigan became co-issuers
of a $150,000 principal balance, Senior Subordinated Notes ("Subordinated
Notes") offering. In conjunction with this financing, Avalon New England
received $18,130 from Avalon Michigan as a partial payment against the Company's
note receivable-affiliate from Avalon Michigan. Avalon Michigan paid $75 in
interest during the period from October 21, 1998 (inception) through December
31, 1998. The cash proceeds received by Avalon New England of $18,206 was paid
to Avalon as a dividend.

     The Subordinated Notes mature on December 1, 2008, and interest accrued at
a rate of 9.375% per annum. Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on June
1 and December 1 of each year, commencing on June 1, 1999. Accrued interest on
the Subordinated Notes was $1,078 at December 31, 1998.

     The Senior Subordinated Notes will not be redeemable at the Co-Borrowers'
option prior to December 1, 2003. Thereafter, the Senior Subordinated Notes will
be subject to redemption at any time at the option of the Co-Borrowers, in whole
or in part at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal
amount) set forth below plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to the
applicable redemption date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning

     The scheduled maturities of the long-term debt are $2,000 in 2001, $4,000
in 2002, $7,000 in 2003, and the remainder thereafter.

     At any time prior to December 1, 2001, the Co-Borrowers may on any one or
more occasions redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of Senior
Subordinate Notes originally issued under the Indenture at a redemption price
equal to 109.375% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid
interest, if any, to the redemption date, with the net cash proceeds of any
equity offering and/or the net cash proceeds of a strategic equity investment;
provided that at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount at maturity of
Senior Subordinated Notes originally issued remain outstanding immediately after
each such redemption.

     As used in the preceding paragraph, "Equity Offering and Strategic Equity
Investment" means any public or private sale of Capital Stock of any of the
Co-Borrowers pursuant to which the Co-Borrowers together receive net proceeds of
at least $25 million, other than issuances of Capital Stock pursuant to employee
benefit plans or as compensation to employees; provided that to the extent such
Capital Stock is issued by the Co-Borrowers, the net cash proceeds thereof shall
have been contributed to one or more of the Co-Borrowers in the form of an
equity contribution.

     The Indentures provide that upon the occurrence of a change of control (a
"Change of Control") each holder of the Notes has the right to require the
Company to purchase all or any part (equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple
thereof) of such holder's Notes at an offer price in cash equal to 101% of the
aggregate principal amount thereon plus accrued and unpaid interest and
Liquidated Damages (as defined in the Indentures) thereof, if any, to the date
of purchase.

  The Senior Discount Notes

     On December 3, 1998, the Company, Avalon Michigan and Avalon Cable Holdings
Finance, Inc. (the "Holding Co-Borrowers") issued $196.0 million aggregate
principal amount at maturity of 117/8% Senior Discount Notes ("Senior Discount
Notes") due 2008.

     The Senior Discount Notes were issued at a substantial discount from their
principal amount at maturity, to generate gross proceeds of approximately $110.4
million. Interest on the Senior Discount Notes will accrue but not be payable
before December 1, 2003. Thereafter, interest on the Senior Discount Notes will
accrue on the principal amount at maturity at a rate of 11.875% per annum, and
will be payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year,
commencing December 1, 2003. Prior to December 1, 2003, the accreted value of
the Senior Discount Notes will increase, representing amortization of original
issue discount, between the date of original issuance and December 1, 2003 on a
semi-annual basis using a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months, such
that the accreted value shall be equal to the full principal amount at maturity
of the Senior Discount Notes on December 1, 2003. Original issue discount
accretion on the Senior Discount Notes was $1,083 at December 31, 1998.

     On December 1, 2003, the Holding Co-Borrowers will be required to redeem an
amount equal to $369.79 per $1,000 principal amount at maturity of each Senior
Discount Note then outstanding on a pro rata basis at a redemption price of 100%
of the principal amount at maturity of the Senior Discount Notes so redeemed.

     On or after December 1, 2003, the Senior Discount Notes will be subject to

part, at the redemption prices, which are expressed as percentages of principal

  Mercom debt

     In August 1997, the Mercom revolving credit agreement for $2,000 expired.
Mercom had no borrowings under the revolving credit agreement in 1996 or 1997.

     On September 29, 1997, Cable Michigan, Inc. purchased and assumed all of
the bank's interest in the term credit agreement and the note issued thereunder.
Immediately after the purchase, the term credit agreement was amended in order
to, among other things, provide for less restrictive financial covenants,
eliminate mandatory amortization of principal and provide for a bullet maturity
of principal on December 31, 2002, and remove the change of control event of
default. Mercom's borrowings under the term credit agreement contain pricing and
security provisions substantially the same as those in place prior to the
purchase of the loan. The borrowings are secured by a pledge of the stock of
Mercom's subsidiaries and a first lien on certain of the assets of Mercom and
its subsidiaries, including inventory, equipment and receivables. At December
31, 1998, $14,151 of principal was outstanding. The borrowings under the term
credit agreement are eliminated in the Company's consolidated balance sheet.

  Note payable

     Avalon New England issued a note payable for $500 which is due on May 29,
2003, and bears interest at a rate of 7% per annum (which approximates Avalon
New England's incremental borrowing rate) payable annually. Additionally, Avalon
New England has a $100 non-compete agreement. The agreement calls for five
annual payments of $20, commencing on May 29, 1999.

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

  Leases

     Avalon New England and Avalon Michigan rent poles from utility companies
for use in their operations. While rental agreements are generally short-term,
Avalon New England and Avalon Michigan anticipate such rentals will continue in
the future. Avalon New England and Avalon Michigan also lease office facilities
and various items of equipment under month-to-month operating leases. Rent
expense was $58 for the year ended December 31, 1998. Rental commitments are
expected to continue at approximately $1 million a year for the foreseeable
future, including pole rental commitments which are cancelable.

  Legal matters

     Avalon and its subsidiaries are subject to regulation by the Federal
Communications Commission ("FCC") and other franchising authorities.

     Avalon and its subsidiaries are subject to the provisions of the Cable
Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992, as amended, and the
Telecommunications Act of 1996. Avalon and its Subsidiaries have either settled
challenges or accrued for anticipated exposures related to rate regulation;
however, there is no assurance that there will not be further additional
challenges to its rates.

     In the normal course of business, there are various legal proceedings
outstanding. In the opinion of management, these proceedings will not have a
material adverse effect on the financial condition or results of operations of
Avalon and its subsidiaries.

11. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS AND BALANCES

     During 1998, Avalon New England received $3,341 from Avalon Holdings. In
consideration for this amount, Avalon New England executed a note payable to
Avalon Holdings. This note is recorded as note payable-affiliate on the balance
sheet at December 31, 1998. Interest accrues at a rate of 5.57% per year and
Avalon New England has recorded accrued interest on this note of $100 at
December 31, 1998.

12. SUBSEQUENT EVENT

     In May 1999, the Company signed an agreement with Charter Communications,
Inc. ("Charter Communications") under which Charter Communications agreed to
purchase Avalon Cable LLC's cable television systems and assume some of their
debt. The acquisition by Charter Communications is subject to regulatory
approvals. The Company expects to consummate this transaction in the fourth
quarter of 1999.

     This agreement, if closed, would constitute a change in control under the
Indenture pursuant to which the Senior Subordinated Notes and the Senior
Discount Notes (collectively, the "Notes") were issued. The Indenture provides
that upon the occurrence of a change of control of the Company (a "Change of
Control") each holder of the Notes has the right to require the Company to
purchase all or any part (equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof) of
such holder's Notes at an offer price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate
principal amount thereon (or 101% of the accreted value for the Senior Discount
Notes as of the date of purchase if prior to the full accretion date) plus
accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages (as defined in the Indenture)
thereof, if any, to the date of purchase.

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

     This agreement, if closed, would represent a Change of Control which, on
the closing date, constitutes an event of default under the Credit Facility
giving the lender the right to terminate the credit commitment and declare all
amounts outstanding immediately due and payable. Charter Communications has
agreed to repay all amounts due under the Credit Facility or cause all events of
default under the Credit Facility arising from the Change of Control to be
waived.

                       AVALON CABLE LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                 JUNE 30, 1999

                                 (IN THOUSANDS)

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

     Avalon Cable LLC ("the Company"), and its wholly owned subsidiaries Avalon
Cable Holdings Finance, Inc. ("Avalon Holdings Finance") and Avalon Cable of
Michigan LLC ("Avalon Michigan"), were formed in October 1998, pursuant to the
laws of the State of Delaware, as a wholly owned subsidiary of Avalon Cable of
New England Holdings, Inc. ("Avalon New England Holdings").


     On November 6, 1998, Avalon New England Holdings contributed its 100%
interest in Avalon Cable of New England LLC ("Avalon New England") to the
Company in exchange for a membership interest in the Company. This contribution
was between entities under common control and was accounted for similar to a
pooling-of-interests. Under the pooling-of-interests method, the results of
operations for the Company include the results of operations from the date of
inception (September 4, 1997) of Avalon New England. On November 6, 1998, the
Company received $63,000 from affiliated entities, which was comprised of (i) a
$45,000 capital contribution by Avalon Investors, LLC ("Avalon Investors") and
(ii) an $18,000 promissory note from Avalon Cable Holdings LLC ("Avalon
Holdings"), which was used to make a $62,800 cash contribution to Avalon New
England.


     The cash contribution received by Avalon New England was used to (i)
extinguish existing indebtedness of $29,600 and (ii) fund a $33,200 loan to
Avalon Holdings Finance which matures on December 31, 2001.


     On December 10, 1998, the Company received a dividend distribution from
Avalon New England in the amount of $18,206, which was used by the Company to
pay off the promissory note payable to Avalon Holdings, plus accrued interest.


     Avalon Cable of Michigan, Inc. was formed in June 1998, pursuant to the
laws of the state of Delaware, as a wholly owned subsidiary of Avalon Cable of
Michigan Holdings, Inc. ("Michigan Holdings".) On June 3, 1998, Avalon Cable of
Michigan, Inc. entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Agreement")
among Avalon Cable of Michigan, Inc., Michigan Holdings and Cable Michigan, Inc.
(Cable Michigan), pursuant to which Avalon Cable of Michigan, Inc. will merge
into Cable Michigan and Cable Michigan will become a wholly owned subsidiary of
Michigan Holdings (the "Merger"). As part of the Merger, the name of the company
was changed to Avalon Cable of Michigan, Inc.

     In accordance with the terms of the Agreement, each share of common stock,
par value $1.00 per share ("common stock"), of Cable Michigan outstanding prior
to the effective time of the Merger (other than treasury stock shares owned by
Michigan Holdings or its subsidiaries, or shares as to which dissenters' rights
have been exercised) shall be converted into the right to receive $40.50 in cash
(the "Merger Consideration"), subject to certain possible closing adjustments.

     In conjunction with the acquisition of Cable Michigan, Avalon Cable of
Michigan, Inc. acquired Cable Michigan's 62% ownership interest in Mercom, Inc.
("Mercom").

     On November 6, 1998, Avalon Cable of Michigan, Inc. completed its Merger.
The total consideration payable in conjunction with the Merger, including fees
and expenses is $431,629, including repayment of all existing Cable Michigan
indebtedness and accrued interest of $135,205. Subsequent to the Merger, the
arrangements with RCN and CTE for certain support

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

services were terminated. The Agreement also permitted Avalon Cable of Michigan,
Inc. to agree to acquire the remaining shares of Mercom that it did not own.

     Michigan Holdings contributed $137,375 in cash to Avalon Cable of Michigan,
Inc., which was used to consummate the Merger. On November 5, 1998, Michigan
Holdings received $105,000 in cash in exchange for promissory notes to lenders
(the "Bridge Agreement"). On November 6, 1998, Michigan Holdings contributed the
proceeds received from the Bridge Agreement and an additional $35,000 in cash to
Avalon Cable of Michigan Inc. in exchange for 100 shares of common stock.

     On March 26, 1999, Avalon completed a series of transactions to facilitate
certain aspects of its financing between affiliated entities under common
control. As a result of these transactions:

     - Avalon Cable of Michigan, Inc. contributed its assets and liabilities
       excluding deferred tax liabilities, net to Avalon in exchange for an
       approximate 88% voting interest in Avalon, which then transferred those
       assets and liabilities to its wholly-owned subsidiary Avalon Michigan;

     - Avalon Michigan now operates the Michigan cluster replacing Avalon Cable
       of Michigan, Inc.;

     - Avalon Cable of Michigan Holdings, Inc. ceased to be an obligor on the
       exchanged notes and together with Avalon Cable of Michigan, Inc. became a
       guarantor of the obligations of the Company under the exchanged notes;

     - Avalon Michigan became an additional obligor on the Senior Subordinated
       Notes replacing Avalon Cable of Michigan, Inc.; and

     - Avalon Cable of Michigan, Inc. ceased to be an obligor on the Senior
       Subordinated Notes and the credit facility and became a guarantor of the
       obligations of Avalon Michigan under the Senior Subordinated Notes and
       the credit facility.


     As a result of the reorganization between entities under common control,
the Company accounted for the reorganization similar to a pooling-of-interests.
Under the pooling-of-interests method, the results of operations for Avalon
include the results of operations from the date of inception (June 2, 1998) of
Avalon Cable of Michigan, Inc. and the date of acquisition of the completed
acquisitions.


     Avalon New England and Avalon Michigan provide cable service to the western
New England area and the state of Michigan, respectively. Avalon New England and
Avalon Michigan's cable systems offer customer packages of basic and premium
cable programming services which are offered at a per channel charge or are
packaged together to form a tier of services offered at a discount from the
combined channel rate. Avalon New England and Avalon Michigan cable systems also
provide premium cable services to their customers for an extra monthly charge.
Customers generally pay initial connection charges and fixed monthly fees for
cable programming and premium cable services, which constitute the principal
sources of revenue for Avalon New England and Avalon Michigan.

     Avalon Holdings Finance was formed for the sole purpose of facilitating
financings associated with the acquisitions of various cable operating
companies. Avalon Holdings Finance conducts no other activities.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission, certain financial information has been condensed and certain
footnote disclosures have been omitted. Such information and disclosures are
normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles.

     The consolidated financial statements herein include the accounts of the
Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.

     These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
Company's audited financial statements as of December 31, 1998 and notes thereto
included elsewhere herein.


     The financial statements as of June 30, 1999 and for the six month period
then ended are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, such statements
include all adjustments (consisting solely of normal and recurring adjustments
except for the acquisition of Cross Country Cable, LLC ("Cross Country"), Nova
Cablevision, Inc., Nova Cablevision VI, L.P. and Nova Cablevision VII, L.P.
("Nova Cable"), Novagate Communication Corporation ("Novagate"), Traverse
Internet R/Com. L.C., the Mercom Merger and the contribution of assets and
liabilities by Avalon Cable of Michigan, Inc.) necessary to present fairly the
financial information included therein.


3. MERGER AND ACQUISITIONS


     The Merger agreement between Michigan Holdings and Avalon Cable of
Michigan, Inc. permitted Avalon Cable of Michigan, Inc. to agree to acquire the
1,822,810 shares (approximately 38% of the outstanding stock) of Mercom that it
did not own (the "Mercom Acquisition"). On September 10, 1998 Avalon Cable of
Michigan, Inc. and Mercom entered into a definitive agreement (the "Mercom
Merger Agreement") providing for the acquisition by Avalon Cable of Michigan,
Inc. of all of such shares at a price of $12.00 per share. Avalon Cable of
Michigan, Inc. completed this acquisition in March 1999. The total estimated
consideration paid in conjunction with the Mercom acquisition, excluding fees
and expenses was $21,900. The purchase price was allocated as follows:
approximately $13,800 to the elimination of minority interest, $1,170 to
property, plant and equipment, $6,700 to cable franchises and the excess of
consideration paid over the fair market value of the net assets acquired, or
goodwill, of $240.


     In March 1999, Avalon Cable of Michigan Inc. acquired the cable television
systems of Nova Cable for approximately $7,800, excluding transaction fees.

     On January 21, 1999, the Company through its subsidiary, Avalon New England
subsidiaries, acquired Novagate for a purchase price of $2,900.

     On March 26, 1999, the Company through its subsidiary, Avalon Michigan,
acquired the assets of R/Com, L.C., for a total purchase price of approximately
$450.

     In January 1999, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding
Common Stock of Cross Country for a purchase price of approximately $2,500,
excluding transaction fees.


     On April 1, 1999, the Company, through its subsidiary, Avalon New England,
acquired Traverse Internet for $2,400.


     The acquisitions have been accounted for as purchases and the results of
the companies acquired have been included in the accompanying financial
statements since their acquisition dates. Accordingly, the consideration was
allocated to the net assets based on their respective
                                      F-326

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)


fair market values. The excess of the consideration paid over the estimated fair
market values of the net assets acquired was $12,940 and is being amortized
using the straight line method over 15 years.



     In July 1999, Avalon New England purchased all of the cable systems of
Taconic Technology Corporation for approximately $8,525 (excluding transaction
fees).


4. INCOME TAXES

     Upon the closure of the Mercom merger, Mercom was dissolved as a separate
taxable entity which resulted in a change in tax status from a taxable entity to
a nontaxable entity. As a result, the Company recognized a tax benefit of $1,362
in its results of operations and eliminated its deferred taxes, net in the
balance sheet.

5. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

     In connection with the acquisition of Mercom, former shareholders of Mercom
holding approximately 731,894 Mercom common shares or approximately 15.3% of all
outstanding Mercom common shares gave notice of their election to exercise
appraisal rights as provided by Delaware law. On July 2, 1999, former
shareholders of Mercom holding 535,501 shares of Mercom common stock filed a
petition for appraisal of stock in the Court of Chancery in the State of
Delaware. With respect to 209,893 of the total number of shares for which the
Company received notice, the Company received the notice of election from
beneficial holders of Mercom common shares and not from holders of record. The
Company believes that the notice with respect to the 209,893 shares did not
comply with Delaware law and is ineffective. The Company cannot predict at this
time the effect of the elections to exercise appraisal rights on the Company
since the Company does not know the extent to which these former shareholders
will continue to pursue appraisal rights under Delaware law or choose to abandon
these efforts and accept the consideration payable in the Mercom merger. If
these former shareholders continue to pursue their appraisal rights and if a
Delaware court were to find that the fair value of the Mercom common shares,
exclusive of any element of value arising from our acquisition of Mercom,
exceeded $12.00 per share, the Company would have to pay the additional amount
for each Mercom common share to the appraisal subject to the appraisal
proceedings together with a fair rate of interest. The Company could be ordered
by the Delaware court to pay reasonable attorney's fees and the fees and
expenses of experts for the shareholders. In addition, the Company would have to
pay their own litigation costs. The Company have already provided for the
consideration of $12.00 per Mercom common share due under the terms of our
merger with Mercom with respect to these shares but have not provided for any
additional amounts or costs. The Company can provide no assurance as to what a
Delaware court would find in any appraisal proceeding or when this matter will
be resolved. Accordingly, the Company cannot assure you that the ultimate
outcome would not have a material adverse effect on the Company.

     The Company is subject to the provisions of the Cable Television Consumer
Protection and Competition Act of 1992, as amended, and the Telecommunications
Act of 1996. The Company has either settled challenges or accrued for
anticipated exposures related to rate regulation; however, there is no assurance
that there will not be further additional challenges to its rates.

     In the normal course of business, there are various legal proceedings
outstanding. In the opinion of management, these proceedings will not have a
material adverse effect on the financial condition or results of operations of
the Company.

6. PENDING MERGER



     In May 1999, the Company signed an agreement with Charter Communications,
Inc. ("Charter Communications") under which Charter Communications agreed to
purchase Avalon Cable LLC's cable television systems and assume some of their
debt. The acquisition by Charter Communication is subject to regulatory
approvals. The Company expects to consummate this transaction in the fourth
quarter of 1999.



     This agreement, if closed, would constitute a change in control under the
Indenture pursuant to which the Senior Subordinated Notes and the Senior
Discount Notes (collectively, the "Notes") were issued. The Indenture provides
that upon the occurrence of a change of control of the Company (a "Change of
Control") each holder of the Notes has the right to require the Company to
purchase all or any part (equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof) of
such holder's Notes at an offer price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate
principal amount thereon (or 101% of the accreted value for the Senior Discount
Notes as of the date of purchase if prior to the full accretion date) plus
accrued and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages (as defined in the Indenture)
thereof, if any, to the date of purchase.



     This agreement, if closed, would represent a Change of Control which, on
the closing date, constitutes an event of default under the Credit Facility
giving the lender the right to terminate the credit commitment and declare all
amounts outstanding immediately due and payable. Charter Communications has
agreed to repay all amounts due under the Credit Facility or cause all events of
default under the Credit Facility arising from the Change of Control to be
waived.

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Board of Managers of
Avalon Cable of Michigan Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries

     In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the
related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders' equity
and cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position
of Avalon Cable of Michigan Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries (collectively, the
"Company") at December 31, 1997 and 1998, and the results of their operations,
changes in shareholders' equity and their cash flows for the period from
September 4, 1997 (inception) through December 31, 1997, and for the year ended
December 31, 1998, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management;
our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based
on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with
generally accepted auditing standards which require that we plan and perform the
audits 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,
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, and evaluating the overall financial statements presentation. We
believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed
above.

                  (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA)
                               DECEMBER 31, 1998

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

     Avalon Cable of Michigan Holdings, Inc. ("the Company") was formed in June
1998, pursuant to the laws of the state of Delaware. Avalon Cable of Michigan
Inc. ("Avalon Michigan") was formed in June 1998, pursuant to the laws of the
state of Delaware as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. On June 3, 1998,
Avalon Michigan entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Agreement")
among the Company, Cable Michigan, Inc. ("Cable Michigan") and Avalon Michigan,
pursuant to which Avalon Michigan will merge into Cable Michigan and Cable
Michigan will become a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the "Merger").

     In accordance with the terms of the Agreement, each share of common stock,
par value $1.00 per share ("common stock"), of Cable Michigan outstanding prior
to the effective time of the Merger (other than treasury stock shares owned by
the Company or its subsidiaries, or shares as to which dissenters' rights have
been exercised) shall be converted into the right to receive $40.50 in cash (the
"Merger Consideration"), subject to certain possible closing adjustments.

     In conjunction with the acquisition of Cable Michigan, Avalon Michigan
acquired Cable Michigan's 62% ownership interest in Mercom, Inc. ("Mercom").

     On November 6, 1998, Avalon Michigan completed its merger into and with
Cable Michigan. The total consideration paid in conjunction with the merger,
including fees and expenses was $431,629, including repayment of all existing
Cable Michigan indebtedness and accrued interest of $135,205. Subsequent to the
merger, the arrangements with RCN and CTE for certain support services were
terminated. The Agreement also permitted Avalon Michigan to agree to acquire the
remaining shares of Mercom that it did not own.

     The Company contributed $137,375 in cash to Avalon Michigan, which was used
to consummate the Merger. On November 5, 1998, the Company received $105,000 in
cash in exchange for promissory notes to lenders (the "Bridge Agreement"). On
November 6, 1998, the Company contributed the proceeds received from the Bridge
Agreement and an additional $35,000 in cash to Avalon Michigan in exchange for
100 shares of common stock.

     On November 6, 1998, Avalon Cable of New England Holdings, Inc. contributed
its 100% interest in Avalon Cable of New England LLC ("Avalon New England") to
Avalon Cable LLC in exchange for a membership interest in Avalon Cable LLC. This
contribution was between entities under common control and was accounted for
similar to a pooling-of-interests. Under this pooling-of-interests method, the
results of operations for Avalon include the results of operations from the date
of inception (September 4, 1997) of Avalon New England. On that same date,
Avalon Cable LLC received $63,000 from affiliated entities, which was comprised
of (i) a $45,000 capital contribution by Avalon Investors, LLC ("Avalon
Investors") and (ii) a $18,000 promissory note from Avalon Cable Holdings LLC
("Avalon Holdings"), which was used to make a $62,800 cash contribution to
Avalon New England.

     The cash contribution received by Avalon New England was used to (i)
extinguish existing indebtedness of $29,600 and (ii) fund a $33,200 loan to
Avalon Holdings Finance which matures on December 31, 2001.

                               DECEMBER 31, 1998

     On December 10, 1998, Avalon Cable LLC received a dividend distribution
from Avalon New England in the amount of $18,206, which was used by Avalon Cable
LLC to pay off the promissory note payable to Avalon Holdings, plus accrued
interest.

     On March 26, 1999, after the acquisition of Mercom, Inc., the Company
completed a series of transactions to facilitate certain aspects of its
financing between affiliated entities under common control. As a result of these
transactions:

     - Avalon Michigan contributed its assets and liabilities excluding deferred
       tax liabilities, net to Avalon Cable LLC in exchange for an approximate
       88% voting interest in Avalon Cable LLC. Avalon Cable LLC contributed
       these assets and liabilities to its wholly-owned subsidiary, Avalon Cable
       of Michigan LLC ("Avalon Michigan LLC");

     - Avalon Michigan LLC has become the operator of the Michigan cluster
       replacing Avalon Michigan;

     - Avalon Michigan LLC is an obligor on the Senior Subordinated Notes
       replacing Avalon Michigan; and

     - Avalon Michigan is a guarantor of the obligations of Avalon Michigan LLC
       under the Senior Subordinated Notes. Avalon Michigan does not have
       significant assets, other than its investment in Avalon Cable LLC.

     - The Company contributed the Senior Discount Notes to Avalon Cable LLC and
       became a guarantor of the Senior Discount Notes. The Company does not
       have significant assets, other than its 88% investment in Avalon Cable
       LLC.

     As a result of this reorganization between entities under common control,
the Company accounted for the reorganization similar to a pooling-of-interests.
Under the pooling-of-interests method, the results of operations include the
results of operations from the earliest date that a member became a part of the
control group by inception or acquisition. For the Company, the results of
operations are from the date of inception (September 4, 1997) for Avalon New
England, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Avalon Cable LLC.

     Avalon Michigan has a majority-interest in Avalon Cable LLC. Avalon Cable
LLC wholly-owns Avalon Cable Holdings Finance, Avalon New England, and Avalon
Michigan LLC.

     Avalon New England and Avalon Michigan provide cable service to the western
New England area and the state of Michigan, respectively. Avalon New England and
Avalon Michigan LLC's cable systems offer customer packages for basic cable
programming services which are offered at a per channel charge or packaged
together to form a tier of services offered at a discount from the combined
channel rate. Avalon New England and Avalon Michigan LLC's cable systems also
provide premium cable services to their customers for an extra monthly charge.
Customers generally pay initial connection charges and fixed monthly fees for
cable programming and premium cable services, which constitute the principle
sources of revenue for the Company.

     Avalon Holdings Finance was formed for the sole purpose of facilitating
financings associated with the acquisitions of various cable operating
companies. Avalon Holdings Finance conducts no other activities.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

  Principles of consolidation

     The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts
of the Company and of all its wholly and majority owned subsidiaries. All
significant transactions between the Company and its subsidiaries have been
eliminated.

  Use of estimates

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

  Revenue recognition

     Revenues from cable services are recorded in the month the service is
provided. Installation fee revenue is recognized in the period in which the
installation occurs to the extent that direct selling costs meet or exceed
installation revenues.

  Advertising expense

     Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense charged to
operations was $82 for the year ended December 31, 1998.

  Concentration of credit risk

     Financial instruments which potentially expose the Company to a
concentration of credit risk include cash and subscriber and other receivables.
The Company had cash in excess of federally insured deposits at financial
institutions at December 31, 1998. The Company does not believe that such
deposits are subject to any unusual credit risk beyond the normal credit risk
associated with operating its business. The Company extends credit to customers
on an unsecured basis in the normal course of business. The Company maintains
reserves for potential credit losses and such losses, in the aggregate, have not
historically exceeded management's expectations. The Company's trade receivables
reflect a customer base centered in Michigan and New England. The Company
routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers; as a result,
concentrations of credit risk are limited.

  Property, plant and equipment

     Property, plant and equipment is stated at its fair value for items
acquired from Cable Michigan, historical cost for the minority interests' share
of Mercom property, plant and equipment and cost for additions subsequent to the
merger. Initial subscribers installation costs, including materials, labor and
overhead costs, are capitalized as a component of cable plant and equipment. The
cost of disconnection and reconnection are charged to expense when incurred.

                  (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA)
                               DECEMBER 31, 1998

Depreciation is computed for financial statement purposes using the
straight-line method based on the following lives:

<TABLE>
<S>                                                           <C>
Buildings and improvements..................................  10-25 years
Cable plant and equipment...................................   5-12 years
Vehicles....................................................      5 years
Office furniture and equipment..............................   5-10 years
</TABLE>

  Intangible assets

     Intangible assets represent the estimated fair value of cable franchises
and goodwill resulting from acquisitions. Cable franchises are amortized over a
period ranging from 13 to 15 years on a straight-line basis. Goodwill is the
excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired,
determined through an independent appraisal, and is amortized over 15 years
using the straight-line method. Deferred financing costs represent direct costs
incurred to obtain long-term financing and are amortized to interest expense
over the term of the underlying debt utilizing the effective interest method.

  Accounting for impairments

     The Company follows the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 121 -- "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for
Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of" ("SFAS 121").

     SFAS 121 requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable
intangibles to be held and used by an entity be reviewed for impairment whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset
may not be recoverable. In performing the review for recoverability, the Company
estimates the net future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset
and its eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected net future cash flows
(undiscounted and without interest charges) is less than the carrying amount of
the asset, an impairment loss is recognized. Measurement of an impairment loss
for long-lived assets and identifiable intangibles expected to be held and used
is based on the fair value of the asset.

     No impairment losses have been recognized by the Company pursuant to SFAS
121.

  Fair value of Financial Instruments

     The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value
of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate
that value:

          a. The Company estimates that the fair value of all financial
     instruments at December 31, 1998 does not differ materially from the
     aggregate carrying values of its financial instruments recorded in the
     accompanying balance sheet. The fair value of the notes payable-affiliate
     are considered to be equal to carrying values since the Company believes
     that its credit risk has not changed from the time this debt instrument was
     executed and therefore, would obtain a similar rate in the current market.

          b. The fair value of the cash and temporary cash investments
     approximates fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.

                               DECEMBER 31, 1998

  Income taxes

     The Company and Mercom file separate consolidated federal income tax
returns. The Company accounts for income taxes using Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109 -- "Accounting for Income Taxes". The statement
requires the use of an asset and liability approach for financial reporting
purposes. The asset and liability approach requires the recognition of deferred
tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary
differences between financial reporting basis and tax basis of assets and
liabilities. If it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a
deferred tax asset will not be realized, a valuation allowance is recognized.

3. MERGER AND ACQUISITIONS

     The Merger was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.
Accordingly, the consideration was allocated to the net assets acquired based on
their fair market values at the date of the Merger. The purchase price was
allocated as follows: current assets and liabilities at fair values of $470,
approximately $94,000 to property, plant and equipment, $315,000 to cable
franchises and the excess of consideration paid over the fair market value of
the net assets acquired, or goodwill, of $81,705, offset by deferred taxes, net
of $60,000.

     The Merger agreement between the Company and Avalon Michigan permitted
Avalon Michigan to agree to acquire the 1,822,810 shares (approximately 38% of
the outstanding stock) of Mercom that it did not own (the "Mercom Acquisition").
On September 10, 1998 Avalon Michigan and Mercom entered into a definitive
agreement (the "Mercom Merger Agreement") providing for the acquisition by
Avalon Michigan of all of such shares at a price of $12.00 per share. Avalon
Michigan completed this acquisition in March 1999. The total estimated
consideration payable in conjunction with the Mercom Acquisition, excluding fees
and expenses was $21,900.

     On May 29, 1998, the Company acquired certain assets of Amrac Clear View, A
Limited Partnership ("Amrac") for consideration of $8,124, including acquisition
costs of $589. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of
accounting. Accordingly, the consideration was allocated to the net assets
acquired based on the fair market values at the date of acquisition as
determined through the use of an independent appraisal. The excess of the
consideration paid over the estimated fair market value of the net assets
acquired, or goodwill, was $256.

     On July 21, 1998, the Company acquired certain assets and liabilities from
Pegasus Cable Television, Inc. and Pegasus Cable Television of Connecticut, Inc.
(collectively, "Pegasus") for consideration of $30,467, including acquisition
costs of $175. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of
accounting. Accordingly, the consideration was allocated to the net assets
acquired based on the fair market values at the date of acquisition as
determined through use of an independent appraisal. The excess of the
consideration paid over the estimated fair market value of the net assets
acquired, or goodwill, was $977.

  Credit Facilities

     On May 28, 1998, Avalon New England entered into a term loan and revolving
credit agreement with a major commercial lending institution (the "Credit
Agreement"). The Credit Agreement allowed for aggregate borrowings under Term
Loans A and B (collectively, the "Term Loans") and a revolving credit facility
of $30,000 and $5,000, respectively. The proceeds from the Term Loans and
revolving credit facility were used to fund the acquisitions made by Avalon New
England and to provide for Avalon New England's working capital requirements.

     In December 1998, Avalon New England retired the Term Loans and revolving
credit agreement through the proceeds of a capital contribution from Avalon
Cable LLC. The fees and associated costs relating to the early retirement of
this debt was $1,110.

                               DECEMBER 31, 1998

     On November 6, 1998, Avalon Michigan became a co-borrower along with Avalon
New England and Avalon Cable Finance, Inc. (Avalon Finance), affiliated
companies, collectively referred to as the ("Co-Borrowers") on a $320,888 senior
credit facility, which includes term loan facilities consisting of (i) tranche A
term loans of $120,888 and (ii) tranche B term loans of $170,000 and a revolving
credit facility of $30,000 (collectively, the "Credit Facility"). Subject to
compliance with the terms of the Credit Facility, borrowings under the Credit
Facility will be available for working capital purposes, capital expenditures
and pending and future acquisitions. The ability to advance funds under the
tranche A term loan facility terminated on March 31, 1999. The tranche A term
loans are subject to minimum quarterly amortization payments commencing on
January 31, 2001 and maturing on October 31, 2005. The tranche B term loans are
scheduled to be repaid in two equal installments on July 31, 2006 and October
31, 2006. The revolving credit facility borrowings are scheduled to be repaid on
October 31, 2005.

     On November 6, 1998, Avalon Michigan borrowed $265,888 under the Credit
Facility in order to consummate the Merger. In connection with the Senior
Subordinated Notes (as defined below) and Senior Discount Notes (as defined
below) offerings, Avalon Michigan repaid $125,013 of the Credit Facility, and
the availability under the Credit Facility was reduced to $195,000. Avalon
Michigan had borrowings of $11,300 and $129,575 outstanding under the tranche A
and tranche B term note facilities, and had available $30,000 for borrowings
under the revolving credit facility. Avalon New England and Avalon Finance had
no borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility at December 31, 1998.

     The interest rate under the Credit Facility is a rate based on either (i)
the base rate (a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Prime Rate and the
Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 1/2 of 1%) or (ii) the Eurodollar rate (a rate
per annum equal to the Eurodollar Base Rate divided by 1.00 less the
Eurocurrency Reserve Requirements) plus, in either case, the applicable margin.
As of December 31, 1998, the applicable margin was (a) with respect to the
tranche B term loans was 2.75% per annum for Base Rate loans and 3.75% per annum
for Eurodollar loans and (b) with respect to tranche A term loans and the
revolving credit facility was 2.00% per annum for Base Rate loans and 3.00% for
Eurodollar loans. The applicable margin for the tranche A term loans and the
revolving credit facility are subject to performance based grid pricing which is
determined based on upon the consolidated leverage ratio of the Co-Borrowers.
The interest rate for the tranche B term loans outstanding at December 31, 1998
was 9.19%. Interest is payable on a quarterly basis. Accrued interest on the
borrowings under the credit facility was $1,389 at December 31, 1998.

     The Credit Facility contains restrictive covenants which among other things
require the Co-Borrowers to maintain certain ratios including consolidated
leverage ratios and the interest coverage ratio, fixed charge ratio and debt
service coverage ratio.

     The obligations of the Co-Borrowers under the Credit Facility are secured
by substantially all of the assets of the Co-Borrowers. In addition, the
obligations of the Co-Borrowers under the Credit Facility are guaranteed by the
Company, Avalon Cable LLC, Avalon Cable Finance Holdings, Inc., Avalon Cable of
New England Holdings, Inc. and Avalon Cable Holdings, LLC.

     A Change of Control as defined under the Credit Facility agreement would
constitute an event of default under the Credit Facility giving the lender the
right to terminate the credit commitment and declare all amounts outstanding
immediately due and payable.

     The scheduled maturities of the long-term debt are $2,000 in 2001, $4,000
in 2002, $72,479 in 2003, and the remainder thereafter.

     At any time prior to December 1, 2001, the Co-Borrowers may on any one or
more occasions redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of Senior
Subordinate Notes originally issued under the Indenture at a redemption price
equal to 109.375% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid
interest, if any, to the redemption date, with the net cash proceeds of any
equity offering and/or the net cash proceeds of a strategic equity investment;
provided that at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount at maturity of
Senior Subordinated Notes originally issued remain outstanding immediately after
each such redemption.

     As used in the preceding paragraph, "Equity Offering and Strategic Equity
Investment" means any public or private sale of Capital Stock of any of the
Co-Borrowers pursuant to which the Co-Borrowers together receive net proceeds of
at least $25 million, other than issuances of Capital Stock pursuant to employee
benefit plans or as compensation to employees; provided that to the extent such
Capital Stock is issued by the Co-Borrowers, the net cash proceeds thereof shall
have been contributed to one or more of the Co-Borrowers in the form of an
equity contribution.

     The Indentures provide that upon the occurrence of a change of control (a
"Change of Control") each holder of the Notes has the right to require the
Company to purchase all or any part (equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple
thereof) of such holder's Notes at an offer price in

     The Senior Discount Notes were issued at a substantial discount from their

of the Senior Discount Notes on December 1, 2003. Original issue discount

  Note Payable

     Avalon New England issued a note payable for $500 which is due on May 29,
2003, and bears interest at a rate of 7% per annum (which approximates Avalon
New England's incremental borrowing rate) payable annually. Additionally, Avalon
New England has a $100 non-compete agreement. The agreement calls for five
annual payments of $20, commencing on May 29, 1999.

  Mercom debt

     In August 1997, the Mercom revolving credit agreement for $2,000 expired.
Mercom had no borrowings under the revolving credit agreement in 1996 or 1997.

     On September 29, 1997, Avalon Michigan purchased and assumed all of the
bank's interest in the term credit agreement and the note issued thereunder.
Immediately after the purchase, the term credit agreement was amended in order
to, among other things, provide for less restrictive financial covenants,
eliminate mandatory amortization of principal and provide for a bullet maturity
of principal on December 31, 2002, and remove the change of control event of
default. Mercom's borrowings under the term credit agreement contain pricing and
security provisions substantially the same as those in place prior to the
purchase of the loan. The borrowings are secured by a pledge of the stock of
Mercom's subsidiaries and a first lien on certain of the assets of Mercom and
its subsidiaries, including inventory, equipment and receivables at December 31,
1998, $14,151 of principal was outstanding. The borrowings under the term credit
agreement are eliminated in the Company's consolidated balance sheet.

11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

  Leases

     Avalon New England and Avalon Michigan rent poles from utility companies
for use in their operations. While rental agreements are generally short-term,
Avalon New England and Avalon Michigan anticipate such rentals will continue in
the future. Avalon New England and Avalon Michigan also lease office facilities
and various items of equipment under month-to-month operating leases. Rent
expense was $58 for the year ended December 31, 1998. Rental commitments are
expected to continue at approximately $1 million a year for the foreseeable
future, including pole rental commitments which are cancelable.

  Legal Matters

     The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to regulation by the Federal
Communications Commission ("FCC") and other franchising authorities.

     The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to the provisions of the Cable
Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992, as amended, and the
Telecommunications Act of 1996. The Company and its subsidiaries have either
settled challenges or accrued for anticipated exposures related to rate
regulation; however, there is no assurance that there will not be further
additional challenges to its rates.

     In the normal course of business, there are various legal proceedings
outstanding. In the opinion of management, these proceedings will not have a
material adverse effect on the financial condition or results of operations of
the Company and its subsidiaries.

12. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS AND BALANCES

     During 1998, Avalon New England received $3,341 from Avalon Holdings. In

     In May 1999, the Company signed an agreement with Charter Communications,
Inc. ("Charter Communications") under which Charter Communications agreed to
purchase Avalon Cable LLC's cable television systems and assume some of their
debt. The acquisition by Charter Communications is subject to regulatory
approvals. The Company expects to consummate this transaction in the fourth

Inc. ("Avalon Michigan") was formed in June 1998, pursuant to the laws of the
state of Delaware as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. On June 3, 1998,
Avalon Michigan entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Agreement")
among the Company, Cable Michigan, Inc. ("Cable Michigan") and Avalon Michigan,
pursuant to which Avalon Michigan will merge into Cable Michigan and Cable
Michigan will become a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the "Merger").

     In accordance with the terms of the Agreement, each share of common stock,
par value $1.00 per share ("common stock"), of Cable Michigan outstanding prior
to the effective time of the Merger (other than treasury stock, shares owned by
the Company or its subsidiaries, or shares as to which dissenters' rights have
been exercised) shall be converted into the right to receive $40.50 in cash (the
"Merger Consideration"), subject to certain possible closing adjustments.

     In conjunction with the acquisition of Cable Michigan, Avalon Michigan
acquired Cable Michigan's 62% ownership interest in Mercom, Inc. ("Mercom").

     On November 6, 1998, Avalon Michigan completed its merger into and with
Cable Michigan. The total consideration paid in conjunction with the merger,
including fees and expenses was $431,629, including repayment of all existing
Cable Michigan indebtedness and accrued interest of $135,205. The Agreement also
permitted Avalon Michigan to agree to acquire the remaining shares of Mercom
that it did not own.

     The Company contributed $137,375 in cash to Avalon Michigan, which was used
to consummate the Merger. On November 5, 1998, the Company received $105,000 in
cash in exchange for promissory notes to lenders (the "Bridge Agreement"). On
November 6, 1998, the Company contributed the proceeds received from the Bridge
Agreement and an additional $35,000 in cash to Avalon Michigan in exchange for
100 shares of common stock.


     On November 6, 1998, Avalon Cable of New England Holdings, Inc contributed
its 100% interest in Avalon Cable of New England LLC ("Avalon New England") to
Avalon Cable LLC in exchange for a membership interest in Avalon Cable LLC. This
contribution was between entities under common control and was accounted for
similar to a pooling-of-interests. Under this pooling-of-interests method, the
results of operations for Avalon include the results of operations from the date
of inception (September 4, 1997) of Avalon New England. On November 6, 1998,
Avalon Cable LLC received $63,000 from affiliated entities, which was comprised
of (i) a $45,000 capital contribution by Avalon Investors, LLC ("Avalon
Investors") and (ii) a $18,000 promissory note from Avalon Cable Holdings LLC
("Avalon Holdings"), which was used to make a $62,800 cash contribution to
Avalon New England.


     The cash contribution received by Avalon New England was used to (i)
extinguish existing indebtedness of $29,600 and (ii) fund a $33,200 loan to
Avalon Holdings Finance which matures on December 31, 2001.

     On December 10, 1998, Avalon Cable LLC received a dividend distribution
from Avalon New England in the amount of $18,206, which was used by Avalon Cable
LLC to pay off the promissory note payable to Avalon Holdings, plus accrued
interest.

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

                                 JUNE 30, 1999


     On March 26, 1999, after the acquisition of Mercom, the Company completed a
series of transactions to facilitate certain aspects of its financing between
affiliated entities under common control. As a result of these transactions:

     - The Company contributed the Senior Discount Notes and associated debt
       finance costs to Avalon Cable LLC and became a guarantor of the Senior
       Discount Notes.

     - Avalon Michigan contributed its assets and liabilities excluding deferred
       tax liabilities, net to Avalon Cable LLC in exchange for an approximate
       88% voting interest in Avalon Cable LLC. Avalon Cable LLC contributed
       these assets and liabilities, excluding the Senior Discount Notes and
       associated debt finance costs, to its wholly-owned subsidiary, Avalon
       Cable of Michigan LLC.

     - Avalon Cable of Michigan LLC has become the operator of the Michigan
       cluster replacing Avalon Michigan;

     - Avalon Cable of Michigan LLC is an obligor on the Senior Subordinated
       Notes replacing Avalon Michigan; and


     - Avalon Michigan is a guarantor of the obligations of Avalon Cable of
       Michigan LLC under the Senior Subordinated Notes. Avalon Michigan does
       not have significant assets, other than its 88% investment in Avalon
       Cable LLC at June 30, 1999.


     As a result of this reorganization between entities under common control,
the Company accounted for the reorganization similar to a pooling-of-interests.
Under the pooling-of-interests method, the results of operations include the
results of operations from the earliest date that a member becomes a part of the
control group by inception or acquisition. For the Company, the results of
operations are from the date of inception (September 4, 1997) for Avalon New
England, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Avalon Cable LLC.


     The Company has a majority interest in Avalon Cable LLC. Avalon Cable LLC
wholly-owns Avalon Cable Holdings Finance, Avalon New England, and Avalon Cable
of Michigan LLC.



     Avalon Cable of Michigan LLC and Avalon New England provide cable services
to various areas in Michigan and New England, respectively. Avalon New England
and Avalon Michigan LLC's cable systems offer customer packages for basic cable
programming services which are offered at a per channel charge or packaged
together to form a tier of services offered at a discount from the combined
channel rate. Avalon New England and Avalon Cable of Michigan LLC's cable
systems also provide premium cable services to their customers for an extra
monthly charge. Customers generally pay initial connection charges and fixed
monthly fees for cable programming and premium cable services, which constitute
the principle sources of revenue for the Company.



     Avalon Holdings Finance was formed for the sole purpose of facilitating
financings associated with the acquisition of various cable operating companies.
Avalon Cable Holdings Finance, Inc. conducts no other activities.

     These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
Company's audited financial statements at December 31, 1998 and notes thereto as
included in the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-4 filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and declared effective with the SEC
on July 22, 1999.



     The condensed financial statements as of June 30, 1999 and for the six
month periods ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 are unaudited; however, in the
opinion of management, such statements include all adjustments (consisting
solely of normal and recurring adjustments except for the acquisition of Cross
Country Cable, LLC ("Cross Country"), Nova Cablevision, Inc., Nova Cablevision
VI, L.P. and Nova Cablevision VII, L.P. ("Nova Cable"), Novagate Communication
Corporation ("Novagate"), Traverse Internet, R/Com. L.C., the Mercom Merger and
the contribution of assets and liabilities by Avalon Michigan) necessary to
present fairly the financial information included therein.


3. MERGER AND ACQUISITIONS

     The Merger agreement between the Company and Avalon Michigan permitted
Avalon Michigan to agree to acquire the 1,822,810 shares (approximately 38% of
the outstanding stock) of Mercom that it did not own (the "Mercom Acquisition").
On September 10, 1998 Avalon Michigan and Mercom entered into a definitive
agreement (the "Mercom Merger Agreement") providing for the acquisition by
Avalon Michigan of all of such shares at a price of $12.00 per share. Avalon
Michigan completed this acquisition in March 1999. The total estimated
consideration payable in conjunction with the Mercom Acquisition, excluding fees
and expenses was $21,900. The purchase price was allocated as follows:
approximately $13,800 to the elimination of minority interest, $1,170 to
property, plant and equipment, $6,700 to cable franchises and the excess of
consideration paid over the fair market value of the net assets acquired, or
goodwill, of $240.

     In March 1999, Avalon Cable of Michigan Inc. acquired the cable television
systems of Nova Cable for approximately $7,800, excluding transaction fees.

     On January 21, 1999, the Company through its subsidiary, Avalon Cable of
New England, LLC and subsidiaries, acquired Novagate for a purchase price of
$2,900.

     On March 26, 1999, the Company through its subsidiary, Avalon Cable of
Michigan, LLC, acquired the assets of R/Com, L.C., for a total purchase price of
approximately $450.

     In January 1999, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding
Common Stock of Cross Country for a purchase price of approximately $2,500,
excluding transaction fees.


     On April 1, 1999, the Company, through its subsidiary Avalon New England,
acquired Traverse Internet for $2,400.



     The acquisitions have been accounted for as purchases and the results of
the companies acquired have been included in the accompanying financial
statements since their acquisition dates. Accordingly, the consideration was
allocated to the net assets based on their respective fair market values. The
excess of the consideration paid over the estimated fair market values of the
net assets acquired was $12,940 and is being amortized using the straight line
method over 15 years.



     In July 1999, Avalon New England purchased all of the cable systems of
Taconic Technology Corporation for approximately $8,525 (excluding transaction
fees).

5. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

     In connection with the acquisition of Mercom, former shareholders of Mercom
holding approximately 731,894 Mercom common shares or approximately 15.3% of all
outstanding Mercom common shares gave notice of their election to exercise
appraisal rights as provided by Delaware law. On July 2, 1999, former
shareholders of Mercom holding 535,501 shares of Mercom common stock filed a
petition for appraisal of stock in the Court of Chancery in the State of
Delaware. With respect to 209,893 of the total number of shares for which the
Company received notice, the Company received the notice of election from
beneficial holders of Mercom common shares and not from holders of record. The
Company believes that the notice with respect to the 209,893 shares did not
comply with Delaware law and is ineffective. The Company cannot predict at this
time the effect of the elections to exercise appraisal rights on the Company
since the Company does not know the extent to which these former shareholders
will continue to pursue appraisal rights under Delaware law or choose to abandon
these efforts and accept the consideration payable in the Mercom merger. If
these former shareholders continue to pursue their appraisal rights and if a
Delaware court were to find that the fair value of the Mercom common shares,
exclusive of any element of value arising from our acquisition of Mercom,
exceeded $12.00 per share, the Company would have to pay the additional amount
for each Mercom common share subject to the appraisal proceedings together with
a fair rate of interest. The Company could be ordered by the Delaware court also
to pay reasonable attorney's fees and the fees and expenses of experts for the
shareholders. In addition, the Company would have to pay their own litigation
costs. The Company have already provided for the consideration of $12.00 per
Mercom common share due under the terms of our merger with Mercom with respect
to these shares but have not provided for any additional amounts or costs. The
Company can provide no assurance as to what a Delaware court would find in any
appraisal proceeding or when this matter will be resolved. Accordingly, the
Company cannot assure you that the ultimate outcome would not have a material
adverse effect on the Company.

     The Company is subject to the provisions of the Cable Television Consumer
Protection and Competition Act of 1992, as amended, and the Telecommunications
Act of 1996. The Company has either settled challenges or accrued for
anticipated exposures related to rate regulation; however, there is no assurance
that there will not be further additional challenges to its rates.

     In the normal course of business, there are various legal proceedings
outstanding. In the opinion of management, these proceedings will not have a
material adverse effect on the financial condition or results of operations of
the Company.

6. PENDING MERGER



     In May 1999, the Company signed an agreement with Charter Communications,
Inc. ("Charter Communications") under which Charter Communications agreed to
purchase the Company's cable television systems and assume some of their debt.
The acquisition by Charter Communications is subject to regulatory approvals.
The Company expects to consummate this transaction in the fourth quarter of
1999.


     This agreement, if closed, would constitute a change in control under the
Indenture pursuant to which the Senior Subordinated Notes and the Senior
Discount Notes (collectively, the "Notes") were issued. The Indenture provides
that upon the occurrence of a change of control of the Company (a "Change of
Control") each holder of the Notes has the right to require the Company to
purchase all or any part (equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof) of
such holder's Notes at an offer price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate
principal amount thereon (or 101% of the accreted value for the Senior Discount
Notes as of the date of purchase if prior to full accretion date) plus accrued
and unpaid interest and Liquidated Damages (as defined in the Indenture)
thereof, if any, to the date of purchase.

     This agreement, if closed, would represent a Change of Control which, on
the closing date, constitutes an event of default under the Credit Facility
giving the lender the right to terminate the credit commitment and declare all
amounts outstanding immediately due and payable. Charter Communications has
agreed to repay all amounts due under the credit facility or cause all events of
default under the credit facility arising from a change of control to be waived.

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Shareholders of

     In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the
related consolidated statements of operations and changes in shareholders'
deficit and of cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of Cable Michigan, Inc. and subsidiaries (collectively, the
"Company") at December 31, 1996 and 1997 and November 5, 1998, and the results
of their operations and their cash flows for each of the two years ended
December 31, 1996 and 1997 and the period from January 1, 1998 to November 5,
1998, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management; our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with
generally accepted auditing standards which require that we plan and perform the
audits 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,
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We
believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed
above.

                               DECEMBER 31, 1998

1. BACKGROUND AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     Prior to September 30, 1997, Cable Michigan, Inc. and subsidiaries (the
"Company") was operated as part of C-TEC Corporation ("C-TEC"). On September 30,
1997, C-TEC distributed 100 percent of the outstanding shares of common stock of
its wholly owned subsidiaries, RCN Corporation ("RCN") and the Company to
holders of record of C-TEC's Common Stock and C-TEC's Class B Common Stock as of
the close of business on September 19, 1997 (the "Distribution") in accordance
with the terms of the Distribution Agreement dated September 5, 1997 among
C-TEC, RCN and the Company. The Company consists of C-TEC's Michigan cable
operations, including its 62% ownership in Mercom, Inc. ("Mercom"). In
connection with the Distribution, C-TEC changed its name to Commonwealth
Telephone Enterprises, Inc. ("CTE"). RCN consists primarily of C-TEC's bundled
residential voice, video and Internet access operations in the Boston to
Washington, D.C. corridor, its existing New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania
cable television operations, a portion of its long distance operations and its
international investment in Megacable, S.A. de C.V. C-TEC, RCN, and the Company
continue as entities under common control until the Company completes the Merger
(as described below).

     On June 3, 1998, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger
(the "Agreement") among the Company, Avalon Cable of Michigan Holdings Inc.
("Avalon Holdings") and Avalon Cable of Michigan Inc. ("Avalon Sub"), pursuant
to which Avalon Sub will merge into the Company and the Company will become a
wholly owned subsidiary of Avalon Holdings (the "Merger").

     In accordance with the terms of the Agreement, each share of common stock,
par value $1.00 per share ("common stock"), of the Company outstanding prior to
the effective time of the Merger (other than treasury stock, shares owned by
Avalon Holdings or its subsidiaries, or shares as to which dissenters' rights
have been exercised) shall be converted into the right to receive $40.50 in cash
(the "Merger Consideration"), subject to certain possible closing adjustments.

     On November 6, 1998, the Company completed its merger into and with Avalon
Cable Michigan, Inc. The total consideration payable in conjunction with the
merger, including fees and expenses is approximately 431,600. Subsequent to the
merger, the arrangements with RCN and CTE (as described below) were terminated.
The Merger agreement also permitted the Company to agree to acquire the
remaining shares of Mercom that it did not own.

     Cable Michigan provides cable services to various areas in the state of
Michigan. Cable Michigan's cable television systems offer customer packages for
basic cable programming services which are offered at a per channel charge or
packaged together to form a tier of services offered at a discount from the
combined channel rate. Cable Michigan's cable television systems also provide
premium cable services to their customers for an extra monthly charge. Customers
generally pay initial connection charges and fixed monthly fees for cable
programming and premium cable services, which constitute the principle sources
of revenue for the Company.

     The consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the
historical basis of assets and liabilities and historical results of operations
of all wholly and majority owned subsidiaries. However, the historical financial
information presented herein reflects periods during which the Company did not
operate as an independent company and accordingly, certain assumptions were made
in preparing such financial information. Such information, therefore, may not
necessarily reflect the results of operations, financial condition or cash flows
of the Company

     RCN's corporate services group has historically provided substantial
support services such as finance, cash management, legal, human resources,
insurance and risk management. Prior to the Distribution, the corporate office
of C-TEC allocated the cost for these services pro rata among the business units
supported primarily based on assets; contribution to consolidated earnings
before interest, depreciation, amortization, and income taxes; and number of
employees. In the opinion of management, the method of allocating these costs is
reasonable; however, such costs are not necessarily indicative of the costs that
would have been incurred by the Company on a stand-alone basis.

     CTE, RCN and the Company have entered into certain agreements subsequent to
the Distribution, and governing various ongoing relationships, including the
provision of support services between the three companies, including a
distribution agreement and a tax-sharing agreement.

     The fee per year for support services from RCN will be 4.0% of the revenues
of the Company plus a direct allocation of certain consolidated cable
administration functions of RCN. The direct charge for customer service along
with the billing service and the cable guide service will be a pro rata share
(based on subscribers) of the expenses incurred by RCN to provide such customer
service and to provide such billing and cable guide service for RCN and the
Company.

     CTE has agreed to provide or cause to be provided to RCN and the Company
certain financial data processing services for a transitional period after the
Distribution. The fees for such services will be an allocated portion (based on
relative usage) of the cost incurred by CTE to provide such financial data
processing services to all three groups.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

  Use of estimates

     The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles, requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

  Cash and temporary cash investments

     For purposes of reporting cash flows, the Company considers all highly
liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less
to be temporary cash investments. Temporary cash investments are stated at cost,
which approximates market.

  Property, plant and equipment and depreciation

     Property, plant and equipment reflects the original cost of acquisition or
construction, including payroll and related costs such as taxes, pensions and
other fringe benefits, and certain general administrative costs.

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

     Depreciation is provided on the straight-line method based on the useful
lives of the various classes of depreciable property. The average estimated
lives of depreciable cable property, plant and equipment are:

<TABLE>
<S>                                                           <C>
Buildings...................................................   12-25 years
Cable television distribution equipment.....................  8.5-12 years
Vehicles....................................................       5 years
Other equipment.............................................      12 years
</TABLE>

     Maintenance and repair costs are charged to expense as incurred. Major
replacements and betterments are capitalized. Gain or loss is recognized on
retirements and dispositions.

  Intangible assets

     Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the expected
period of benefit ranging from 5 to 19.3 years. Intangible assets include cable
franchises. The cable systems owned or managed by the Company are constructed
and operated under fixed-term franchises or other types of operating authorities
(referred to collectively herein as "franchises") that are generally
nonexclusive and are granted by local governmental authorities. The provisions
of these local franchises are subject to federal regulation. Costs incurred to
obtain or renew franchises are capitalized and amortized over the term of the
applicable franchise agreement.

  Accounting for impairments

     The Company follows the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 121 -- "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for
Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of" ("SFAS 121").

     SFAS 121 requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable
intangibles to be held and used by an entity be reviewed for impairment whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset
may not be recoverable. In performing the review for recoverability, the Company
estimates the net future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset
and its eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected net future cash flows
(undiscounted and without interest charges) is less than the carrying amount of
the asset, an impairment loss is recognized. Measurement of an impairment loss
for long-lived assets and identifiable intangibles expected to be held and used
is based on the fair value of the asset.

     No impairment losses have been recognized by the Company pursuant to SFAS
121.

  Revenue recognition

     Revenues from cable programming services are recorded in the month the
service is provided. Installation fee revenue is recognized in the period in
which the installation occurs.

  Advertising expense

     Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense charged to
operations was $514, $560, and $505 in 1996, 1997, and for the period from
January 1, 1998 to November 5, 1998 respectively.

  Stock-based compensation

     The Company applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.
25 -- "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB 25") in accounting for
its stock plans. The Company has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 -- "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS 123").

  Earnings (loss) per share

     The Company has adopted statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
128 -- "Earnings Per Share" ("SFAS 128"). Basic earnings (loss) per share is
computed based on net income (loss) divided by the weighted average number of
shares of common stock outstanding during the period.

     Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed based on net income (loss)
divided by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding
during the period after giving effect to convertible securities considered to be
dilutive common stock equivalents. The conversions of stock options during
periods in which the Company incurs a loss from continuing operations is not
assumed since the effect is anti-dilutive. The number of stock options which
would have been converted in 1997 and in 1998 and had a dilutive effect if the
Company had income from continuing operations are 55,602 and 45,531,
respectively.

     For periods prior to October 1, 1997, during which the Company was a wholly
owned subsidiary of C-TEC, earnings (loss) per share was calculated by dividing
net income (loss) by one-fourth the average common shares of C-TEC outstanding,
based upon a distribution ratio of one share of Company common stock for each
four shares of C-TEC common equity owned.

  Income taxes

     The Company and Mercom file separate consolidated federal income tax
returns. Prior to the Distribution, income tax expense was allocated to C-TEC's
subsidiaries on a separate return basis except that C-TEC's subsidiaries receive
benefit for the utilization of net operating losses and investment tax credits
included in the consolidated tax return even if such losses and credits could
not have been used on a separate return basis. The Company accounts for income
taxes using Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 -- "Accounting
for Income Taxes". The statement requires the use of an asset and liability
approach for financial reporting purposes. The asset and liability approach
requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected
future tax consequences of temporary differences between financial reporting
basis and tax basis of assets and liabilities. If it is more likely than not
that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized, a
valuation allowance is recognized.

  Reclassification

     Certain amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year's
presentation.

3. BUSINESS COMBINATION AND DISPOSITIONS

     The Agreement between Avalon Cable of Michigan Holdings, Inc. and the
Company permitted the Company to agree to acquire the 1,822,810 shares
(approximately 38% of the outstanding stock) of Mercom that it did not own (the
"Mercom Acquisition"). On September 10, 1998 the Company and Mercom entered into
a definitive agreement (the "Mercom Merger Agreement") providing for the
acquisition by the Company of all of such shares at a price of $12.00 per share.
The Company completed this acquisition in March 1999. The total

estimated consideration payable in conjunction with the Mercom Acquisition,
excluding fees and expenses was $21,900.

     In March 1999, Avalon Michigan Inc. acquired the cable television systems
of Nova Cablevision, Inc., Nova Cablevision VI, L.P. and Nova Cablevision VII,
L.P. for approximately $7,800, excluding transaction fees.

     In July 1997, Mercom sold its cable system in Port St. Lucie, Florida for
cash of approximately $3,500. The Company realized a pretax gain of $2,571 on
the transaction.

     In the opinion of management, based on the future reversal of taxable
temporary differences, primarily depreciation and amortization, the Company will
more likely than not be able to realize all of its deferred tax assets. As a
result, the net change in the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets during
1997 was a decrease of $1,262, which $72 related to Mercom of Florida.

     Due to the sale of Mercom of Florida, the Company's deferred tax
liabilities decreased by $132.

  Credit Facility

     The Company had an outstanding line of credit with a banking institution
for $3 million. No amounts were outstanding under this facility.

     The Company has in place two secured credit facilities (the "Credit
Facilities") pursuant to a single credit agreement with a group of lenders for
which First Union National Bank acts as agent (the "Credit Agreement"), which
was effective as of July 1, 1997. The first is a five-year revolving credit
facility in the amount of $65,000 (the "Revolving Credit Facility"). The second
is an eight-year term credit facility in the amount of $100,000 (the "Term
Credit Facility").

                     CABLE MICHIGAN, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

     The interest rate on the Credit Facilities will be, at the election of the
Company, based on either a LIBOR or a Base Rate option (6.25% at November 5,
1998) (each as defined in the Credit Agreement).

     The entire amount of the Term Credit Facility has been drawn and as of
November 5, 1998, $100,000 of the principal was outstanding thereunder. The
entire amount of the Revolving Credit Facility is available to the Company until
June 30, 2002. As of November 5, 1998, $20,000 of principal was outstanding
thereunder. Revolving loans may be repaid and reborrowed from time to time.

     The Term Credit Facility is payable over six years in quarterly
installments, from September 30, 1999 through June 30, 2005. Interest only is
due through June 1999. The Credit Agreement is currently unsecured.

     The Credit Agreement contains restrictive covenants which, among other
things, require the Company to maintain certain debt to cash flow, interest
coverage and fixed charge coverage ratios and place certain limitations on
additional debt and investments. The Company does not believe that these
covenants will materially restrict its activities.

  Term Loan

     On September 30, 1997, the Company assumed all obligations of CTE under a
$15 million credit facility extended by a separate group of lenders for which
First Union National Bank also acts as agent (the "$15 Million Facility"). The
$15 Million Facility matures in a single installment on June 30, 1999 and is
collateralized by a first priority pledge of all shares of Mercom owned by the
Company. The $15 Million Facility has interest rate provisions (6.25% at
November 5, 1998), covenants and events of default substantially the same as the
Credit Facilities.

     On November 6, 1998, the long-term debt of the Company was paid off in
conjunction with the closing of the merger.

  Mercom debt

     In August 1997, the Mercom revolving credit agreement for $2,000 expired.
Mercom had no borrowings under the revolving credit agreement in 1996 or 1997.

     On September 29, 1997, the Company purchased and assumed all of the bank's
interest in the term credit agreement and the note issued thereunder.
Immediately after the purchase, the term credit agreement was amended in order
to, among other things, provide for less restrictive financial covenants,
eliminate mandatory amortization of principal and provide for a bullet maturity
of principal on December 31, 2002, and remove the change of control event of
default. Mercom's borrowings under the term credit agreement contain pricing and
security provisions substantially the same as those in place prior to the
purchase of the loan. The borrowings are secured by a pledge of the stock of
Mercom's subsidiaries and a first lien on certain of the assets of Mercom and
its subsidiaries, including inventory, equipment and receivables. At November 5,
1998, $14,151 of principal was outstanding. The borrowings under the term credit
agreement are eliminated in the Company's consolidated balance sheet.

8. COMMON STOCK AND STOCK PLANS

     The Company has authorized 25,000,000 shares of $1 par value common stock,
and 50,000,000 shares of $1 par value Class B common stock. The Company also has
authorized

10,000,000 shares of $1 par value preferred stock. At November 5, 1998,
6,901,432 common shares are issued and outstanding.

     In connection with the Distribution, the Company Board of Directors (the
"Board") adopted the Cable Michigan, Inc. 1997 Equity Incentive Plan (the "1997
Plan"), designed to provide equity-based compensation opportunities to key
employees when shareholders of the Company have received a corresponding benefit
through appreciation in the value of Cable Michigan Common Stock.

     The 1997 Plan contemplates the issuance of incentive stock options, as well
as stock options that are not designated as incentive stock options,
performance-based stock options, stock appreciation rights, performance share
units, restricted stock, phantom stock units and other stock-based awards
(collectively, "Awards"). Up to 300,000 shares of Common Stock, plus shares of
Common Stock issuable in connection with the Distribution related option
adjustments, may be issued pursuant to Awards granted under the 1997 Plan.

     All employees and outside consultants to the Company and any of its
subsidiaries and all Directors of the Company who are not also employees of the
Company are eligible to receive discretionary Awards under the 1997 Plan.

     Unless earlier terminated by the Board, the 1997 Plan will expire on the
10th anniversary of the Distribution. The Board or the Compensation Committee
may, at any time, or from time to time, amend or suspend and, if suspended,
reinstate, the 1997 Plan in whole or in part.

     Prior to the Distribution, certain employees of the Company were granted
stock option awards under C-TEC's stock option plans. In connection with the
Distribution, 380,013 options covering Common Stock were issued. Each C-Tec
option was adjusted so that each holder would hold options to purchase shares of
Commonwealth Telephone Enterprise Common Stock, RCN Common Stock and Cable
Michigan Common Stock. The number of shares subject to, and the exercise price
of, such options were adjusted to take into account the Distribution and to
ensure that the aggregate intrinsic value of the resulting RCN, the Company and
Commonwealth Telephone Enterprises options immediately after the Distribution
was equal to the aggregate intrinsic value of the C-TEC options immediately
prior to the Distribution.

     The range of exercise prices for options outstanding at November 5, 1998
was $8.46 to $31.25.

     No compensation expense related to stock option grants was recorded in
1997. For the period ended November 5, 1998 compensation expense in the amount
of $161 was recorded relating to services rendered by the Board.

     Under the term of the Merger Agreement the options under the 1997 Plan vest
upon the closing of the merger and each option holder will receive $40.50 per

     Pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share is
required by SFAS 123, and has been determined as if the Company had accounted
for its stock options under the fair value method of SFAS 123. The fair value of
these options was estimated at the date of grant using a Black Scholes option
pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions for the period
ended November 5, 1998. The fair value of these options was estimated at the
date of grant using a Black Scholes option pricing model with weighted average
assumptions for dividend yield of 0% for 1996, 1997 and 1998; expected
volatility of 39.5% for 1996, 38.6% prior to the Distribution and 49.8%
subsequent to the Distribution for 1997 and 40% for 1998; risk-free interest
rate of 5.95%, 6.52% and 5.68% for 1996, 1997 and 1998 respectively, and
expected lives of 5 years for 1996 and 1997 and 6 years for 1998.

     The weighted-average fair value of options granted during 1997 and 1998 was
$4.19 and $14.97, respectively.

     In November 1996, the C-TEC shareholders approved a stock purchase plan for
certain key executives (the "Executive Stock Purchase Plan" or "C-TEC ESPP").
Under the C-TEC ESPP, participants may purchase shares of C-TEC Common Stock in
an amount of between 1% and 20% of their annual base compensation and between 1%
and 100% of their annual bonus compensation and provided, however, that in no
event shall the participant's total contribution exceed 20% of the sum of their
annual compensation, as defined by the C-TEC ESPP. Participant's accounts are
credited with the number of share units derived by dividing the amount of the
participant's contribution by the average price of a share of C-TEC Common Stock
at approximately the time such contribution is made. The share units credited to
participant's account do not give such participant any rights as a shareholder
with respect to, or any rights as a holder or record owner of, any shares of
C-TEC Common Stock. Amounts representing share units that have been credited to
a participant's account will be distributed, either in a lump sum or in
installments, as elected by the participant, following the earlier of the
participant's termination of employment with the Company or three calendar years
following the date on which the share units were initially credited to the
participant's account. It is anticipated that, at the time of distribution, a
participant will receive one share of C-TEC Common Stock for each share unit
being distributed.

     Following the crediting of each share unit to a participant's account, a
matching share of Common Stock is issued in the participant's name. Each
matching share is subject to forfeiture as provided in the C-TEC ESPP. The
issuance of matching shares will be subject to the participant's execution of an
escrow agreement. A participant will be deemed to be the holder of, and may
exercise all the rights of a record owner of, the matching shares issued to such
participant while such matching shares are held in escrow. Shares of restricted
C-TEC Common Stock awarded under the C-TEC ESPP and share units awarded under
the C-TEC ESPP that relate to C-TEC Common Stock were adjusted so that following
the Distribution, each such participant was credited with an aggregate
equivalent value of restricted shares of common stock of CTE, the Company and
RCN. In September 1997, the Board approved the Cable Michigan, Inc. Executive
Stock Purchase Plan, ("the "Cable Michigan ESPP"), with terms substantially the
same as the C-TEC ESPP. The number of shares which may be distributed under the
Cable Michigan ESPP as matching shares or in payment of share units is 30,000.


9. PENSIONS AND EMPLOYEE BENEFITS


     Prior to the Distribution, the Company's financial statements reflect the
costs experienced for its employees and retirees while included in the C-TEC
plans.

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

     Through December 31, 1996, substantially all employees of the Company were
included in a trusteed noncontributory defined benefit pension plan, maintained
by C-TEC. Upon retirement, employees are provided a monthly pension based on
length of service and compensation. C-TEC funds pension costs to the extent
necessary to meet the minimum funding requirements of ERISA. Substantially, all
employees of C-TEC's Pennsylvania cable television operations (formerly Twin
Country Trans Video, Inc.) were covered by an underfunded plan which was merged
into C-TEC's overfunded plan on February 28, 1996.

     The information that follows relates to the entire C-TEC noncontributory
defined benefit plan. The components of C-TEC's pension cost are as follows for
1996:

<TABLE>
<S>                                                           <C>

Net periodic pension cost...................................  $   441
                                                              =======
</TABLE>

     The following assumptions were used in the determination of the
consolidated projected benefit obligation and net periodic pension cost (credit)
for December 31, 1996:

<TABLE>
<S>                                                           <C>
Discount Rate...............................................  7.5%
Expected long-term rate of return on plan assets............  8.0%
Weighted average long-term rate of compensation increases...  6.0%
</TABLE>

     The Company's allocable share of the consolidated net periodic pension
costs (credit), based on the Company's proportionate share of consolidated
annualized salaries as of the valuation date, was approximately $10 for 1996.
These amounts are reflected in operating expenses. As discussed below, no
pension cost (credit) was recognized in 1997.

     In connection with the restructuring, C-TEC completed a comprehensive study
of its employee benefit plans in 1996. As a result of this study, effective
December 31, 1996, in general, employees of the Company no longer accrue
benefits under the defined benefit pension plans and became fully vested in
their benefit accrued through that date. C-TEC notified affected participants in
December 1996. In December 1996, C-TEC allocated pension plan assets of $6,984
and the related liabilities to a separate plan for employees who no longer
accrue benefits after sum distributions. The allocation of assets and
liabilities resulted in a curtailment/settlement gain of $4,292. The Company's
allocable share of this gain was $855. This gain results primarily from the
reduction of the related projected benefit obligation. The curtailed plan has
assets in excess of the projected benefit obligation.

     C-TEC sponsors a 401(k) savings plan covering substantially all employees
of the Company who are not covered by collective bargaining agreements.
Contributions made by the Company to the 401(k) plan are based on a specific
percentage of employee contributions. Contributions charged to expense were $128
in 1996. Contributions charged to expense in 1997 prior to the Distribution were
$107.

     In connection with the Distribution, the Company established a qualified
saving plan under Section 401(k) of the Code. Contributions charged to expense
in 1997 were $53. Contributions charged to expense for the period from January
1, 1998 to November 5, 1998 were $164.

10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES


     Total rental expense, primarily for office space and pole rental, was $984,
$908 and $1,077 for the year ended December 31, 1996, 1997 and for the period
from January 1, 1998 to November 5, 1998, respectively. Rental commitments are
expected to continue to approximate $1 million a year for the foreseeable
future, including pole rental commitments which are cancelable.

     The Company is subject to the provisions of the Cable Television Consumer
Protection and Competition Act of 1992, as amended, and the Telecommunications
Act of 1996. The Company has either settled challenges or accrued for
anticipated exposures related to rate regulation; however, there is no assurance
that there will not be further additional challenges to its rates. The 1996
statements of operations include charges aggregating approximately $833 relating
to cable rate regulation liabilities. No additional charges were incurred in the
year ended December 31, 1997 and for the period from January 1, 1998 to November
5, 1998.

     In the normal course of business, there are various legal proceedings
outstanding. In the opinion of management, these proceedings will not have a
material adverse effect on the financial condition or results of operations of
the Company.

     The Company has agreed to indemnify RCN and C-TEC and their respective
subsidiaries against any and all liabilities which arise primarily from or
relate primarily to the management or conduct of the business of the Company
prior to the effective time of the Distribution. The Company has also agreed to
indemnify RCN and C-TEC and their respective subsidiaries against 20% of any
liability which arises from or relates to the management or conduct prior to the
effective time of the Distribution of the businesses of C-TEC and its
subsidiaries and which is not a true C-TEC liability, a true RCN liability or a
true Company liability.

     The Tax Sharing Agreement, by and among the Company, RCN and C-TEC (the
"Tax Sharing Agreement"), governs contingent tax liabilities and benefits, tax
contests and other tax matters with respect to tax returns filed with respect to
tax periods, in the case of the Company, ending or deemed to end on or before
the Distribution date. Under the Tax Sharing Agreement, adjustments to taxes
that are clearly attributable to the Company group, the RCN group, or the C-TEC
group will be borne solely by such group. Adjustments to all other tax
liabilities will be borne 50% by C-TEC, 20% by the Company and 30% by RCN.

     Notwithstanding the above, if as a result of the acquisition of all or a
portion of the capital stock or assets of the Company, the Distribution fails to
qualify as a tax-free distribution under Section 355 of the Internal Revenue
Code, then the Company will be liable for any and all increases in tax
attributable thereto.

     In addition, RCN has agreed to obtain programming from third party
suppliers for Cable Michigan, the costs of which will be reimbursed to RCN by
Cable Michigan. In those circumstances where RCN purchases third party
programming on behalf of both RCN and the Company, such costs will be shared by
each company, on a pro rata basis, based on each company's number of
subscribers.

     At December 31, 1997 and November 5, 1998, the Company has accounts
receivable from related parties of $166 and $396 respectively, for these
transactions. At December 31, 1997 and November 5, 1998, the Company has
accounts payable to related parties of $1,560 and $343 respectively, for these
transactions.

     The Company had a note payable to RCN Corporation of $147,567 at December
31, 1996 primarily related to the acquisition of the Michigan cable operations
and its subsequent operations. The Company repaid approximately $110,000 of this
note payable in 1997. The remaining balance was transferred to shareholder's net
investment in connection with the Distribution.


12. OFF BALANCE SHEET RISK AND CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK


     The Company places its cash and temporary investments with high credit
quality financial institutions. The Company also periodically evaluates the
creditworthiness of the institutions with which it invests. The Company does,
however, maintain unsecured cash and temporary cash investment balances in
excess of federally insured limits.

     The Company's trade receivables reflect a customer base centered in the
state of Michigan. The Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its
customers; as a result, concentrations of credit risk are limited.


13. DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS


     The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value
of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate
that value:

          a. The fair value of the revolving credit agreement is considered to
     be equal to carrying value since the debt re-prices at least every six
     months and the Company believes that its credit risk has not changed from
     the time the floating rate debt was borrowed and therefore, would obtain
     similar rates in the current market.

          b. The fair value of the cash and temporary cash investments
     approximates fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.

     The Company estimated the following quarterly data based on assumptions
which it believes are reasonable. The quarterly data may differ from quarterly

                    AMRAC CLEAR VIEW, A LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS

     The Partnership is a Massachusetts limited partnership created pursuant to
a Limited Partnership Agreement, dated as of October 1, 1986, as amended (the
"Partnership Agreement"), by and among (1) Amrac Telecommunications as the
general partner (the "General Partner"), (2) Clear View Cablevision, Inc. as the
class A limited partner (the "Class A Limited Partner"), (3) Schuparra
Properties, Inc., as the class B limited partner (the "Class B Limited
Partner"), and (4) those persons admitted to the Partnership from time to time
as investor limited partners (the "Investor Limited Partner").

     The Partnership provides cable television service to the towns of Hadley
and Belchertown located in western Massachusetts. At May 28, 1998, the
Partnership provided services to approximately 5,100 customers residing in those
towns.

     The Partnership's cable television systems offer customer packages of basic
and cable programming services which are offered at a per channel charge or are
packaged together to form a tier of services offered at a discount from the
combined channel rate. The Partnership's cable television systems also provide
premium television services to their customers for an extra monthly charge.
Customers generally pay initial connection charges and fixed monthly fees for
cable programming and premium television services, which constitute the
principal sources of revenue for the Partnership.

     On October 7, 1997, the Partnership entered into a definitive agreement
with Avalon Cable of New England LLC ("Avalon New England") whereby Avalon New
England would purchase the assets and operations of the Partnership for
$7,500,000. This transaction was consummated and became effective on May 29,
1998. The assets and liabilities at May 28, 1998, have not been adjusted or
reclassified to reflect this transaction.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

  Use of Estimates

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and use
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the
disclosure for contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reported period. Actual results may vary from estimates used.

  Cash and Cash Equivalents

     Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid investments purchased with
an initial maturity of three months or less.

  Revenue Recognition

     Revenue is recognized as cable television services are provided.

  Concentration of Credit Risk

     Financial instruments which potentially expose the Partnership to a
concentration of credit risk include cash, cash equivalents and subscriber and
other receivables. The Partnership does not believe that such deposits are
subject to any unusual credit risk beyond the normal credit risk associated with
operating its business. The Partnership extends credit to customers on an
unsecured basis in the normal course of business. The Partnership maintains
reserves for

potential credit losses and such losses, in the aggregate, have not historically
exceeded management's expectations.

  Property and Equipment

     Property and equipment is stated at cost. Initial subscriber installation
costs, including material, labor and overhead costs, are capitalized as a
component of cable plant and equipment. Depreciation is computed for financial
statement purposes using the straight-line method based upon the following
lives:

Cable plant and equipment...................................       10 years
Office furniture and equipment..............................  5 to 10 years
Vehicles....................................................        6 years
</TABLE>

  Financial Instruments

     The Partnership estimates that the fair value of all financial instruments
at May 28, 1998 does not differ materially from the aggregate carrying values of
its financial instruments recorded in the accompanying balance sheet.

  Income Taxes

     The Partnership is not subject to federal and state income taxes.
Accordingly, no recognition has been given to income taxes in the accompanying
financial statements of the Partnership since the income or loss of the
Partnership is to be included in the tax returns of the individual partners.

  Allocation of Profits and Losses and Distributions of Cash Flow

     Partnership profits and losses (other than those arising from capital
transactions, described below) and distributions of cash flow are allocated 94%
to the Investor Limited Partners, 2.5% to the Class A Limited Partner, 1% to the
Class B Limited Partner and 2.5% to the General Partner until Payout (as defined
in the Partnership Agreement) and after Payout, 65% to the Investor Limited
Partners, 15% to the Class A Limited Partner, 5% to the Class B Limited Partner
and 15% to the General Partner.

     Partnership profits and capital transactions are allocated first, in
proportion to the partners' respective capital accounts until their respective
account balances are zero and second, in proportion to any distributed cash
proceeds resulting from the capital transaction and third, any remaining profit,
if any, is allocated 65% to the Investor Limited Partners, 15% to the Class A
Limited Partner, 5% to the Class B Limited Partner, and 15% to the General
Partner.

     Partnership losses from capital transactions are allocated first, in
proportion to the partners' respective capital accounts until their respective
account balances are zero and, second, any remaining loss, if any, is allocated
65% to the Investor Limited Partners, 15% to the Class A Limited Partner, 5% to
the Class B Limited Partner, and 15% to the General Partner.

  New Accounting Pronouncements

     In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS
No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," which establishes standards for
reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in financial
statements. SFAS No. 130 states that comprehensive income includes reported net
income of a company, adjusted for items that are

currently accounted for as direct entries to equity, such as the net unrealized
gain or loss on securities available for sale. SFAS No. 130 is effective for
both interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 1997. Management
does not anticipate that adoption of SFAS No. 130 will have a material effect on
the financial statements.

     In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosure about Segments of
an Enterprise and Related Information," which establishes standards for
reporting by public companies about operating segments of their business. SFAS
No. 131 also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and
services, geographic areas, and major customers. SFAS No. 131 is effective for
periods beginning after December 15, 1997. Management does not anticipate that
the adoption of SFAS No. 131 will have a material effect on the financial
statements.

6. LONG-TERM DEBT

     The Partnership repaid its term loan, due to a bank, on January 15, 1998.
Interest on the loan was paid monthly and accrued at the bank's prime rate plus
2% (10.5% at December 31,

                                      F-384
<PAGE>   554

                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

1997). The loan was collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the
Partnership and a pledge of all partnership interests. The total principal
outstanding at December 31, 1997 was $560,500.

7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

     The Partnership rents poles from utility companies for use in its
operations. These rentals amounted to approximately $15,918 of rent expense
during the period. While rental agreements are generally short-term, the
Partnership anticipates such rentals will continue in the future. The
Partnership leases office facilities and various items of equipment under
month-to-month operating leases. Rental expense under operating leases amounted
to $8,171 during the period.

     The operations of the Partnership are subject to regulation by the Federal
Communications Commission and various franchising authorities.

     From time to time the Partnership is also involved with claims that arise
in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate
liability with respect to these claims will not have a material adverse effect
on the operations, cash flows or financial position of the Partnership.

8. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

     The General Partner provides management services to the Partnership for
which it receives a management fee of 5% of revenue. The General Partner also
allocates, in accordance with a management agreement, certain general,
administrative and payroll costs to the Partnership. For the period from January
1, 1998 through May 28, 1998, management fees totaled $41,674 and allocated
general, administrative and payroll costs totaled $3,625, which are included in
selling general and administrative expenses.

     The Partnership believes that these fees and allocations were made on a
reasonable basis. However, the amounts paid are not necessarily indicative of
the level of expenses that might have been incurred had the Partnership
contracted directly with third parties. The Partnership has not attempted to
obtain quotes from third parties to determine what the cost of obtaining such
services from third parties would have been.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Partners of
AMRAC CLEAR VIEW, A LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

     We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Amrac Clear View, a
Limited Partnership as of December 31, 1996 and 1997, and the related statements
of net earnings, changes in partners' equity (deficit) and cash flows for each
of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1997. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements based on our
audit.

     We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

     In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of Amrac Clear View, a Limited
Partnership as of December 31, 1996 and 1997, and the results of its operations
and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31,
1997 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                    AMRAC CLEAR VIEW, A LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
              FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995, 1996 AND 1997

1. SUMMARY OF BUSINESS ACTIVITIES AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

     This summary of significant accounting policies of Amrac Clear View, a
Limited Partnership (the "Partnership"), is presented to assist in understanding
the Partnership's financial statements. The financial statements and notes are
representations of the Partnership's management, which is responsible for their
integrity and objectivity. The accounting policies conform to generally accepted
accounting principles and have been consistently applied in the preparation of
the financial statements.

     Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing these financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Those
estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities,
the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported revenues
and expenses. Actual results could vary from the estimates that were used.

  Operations:

     The Partnership provides cable television service to the residents of the
towns of Hadley and Belchertown in western Massachusetts.

  Credit concentrations:

     The Partnership maintains cash balances at several financial institutions.
Accounts at each institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation up to $100,000. At various times during the year the Partnership's
cash balances exceeded the federally insured limits.

     Concentration of credit risk with respect to subscriber receivables are
limited due to the large number of subscribers comprising the Partnership's
customer base.

  Property and equipment/depreciation:

     Property and equipment are carried at cost. Minor additions and renewals
are expensed in the year incurred. Major additions and renewals are capitalized.
Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated
useful lives of the respective assets. Total depreciation for the years ended
December 31, 1995, 1996 and 1997 was $321,872, $331,707 and $122,637,
respectively.

  Other assets/amortization:

     Amortizable assets are recorded at cost. The Partnership amortizes
intangible assets using the straight-line method over the useful lives of the
various items. Total amortization for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1996
and 1997 was $9,041, $8,459 and $13,860, respectively.

  Cash equivalents:

     For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Partnership considers all
short-term instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be
cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents at December 31, 1995 and 1997.
Cash equivalents at December 31, 1996, amounted to $300,000.

  Advertising:

     The Partnership follows the policy of charging the costs of advertising to
expense as incurred. Advertising expense was $1,681, $1,781 and $2,865 for the
years ended December 31, 1995, 1996 and 1997, respectively.

  Income taxes:

     The Partnership does not incur a liability for federal or state income
taxes. The current income or loss of the Partnership is included in the taxable
income of the partners, and therefore, no provision for income taxes is
reflected in the financial statements.

  Revenues:

     The principal sources of revenues are the monthly charges for basic and
premium cable television services and installation charges in connection
therewith.

  Allocation of profits and losses and distributions of cash flow:

     Partnership profits and losses, (other than those arising from capital
transactions, described below), and distributions of cash flow are allocated 94%
to the Investor Limited Partners, 2.5% to the Class A Limited Partner, 1% to the
Class B Limited Partner and 2.5% to the General Partner until Payout (as defined
in the Partnership Agreement) and after Payout, 65% to the Investor Limited
Partners, 15% to the Class A Limited Partner, 5% to the Class B Limited Partner
and 15% to the General Partner.

     Partnership profits from capital transactions are allocated first, in
proportion to the partners' respective capital accounts until their respective
account balances are zero and second, in proportion to any distributed cash
proceeds resulting from the capital transaction and third, any remaining profit,
if any, is allocated 65% to the Investor Limited Partners, 15% to the Class A
Limited Partner, 5% to the Class B Limited Partner, and 15% to the General
Partner.

     The loan agreement contains covenants including, but not limited to,
maintenance of certain debt ratios as well as restrictions on capital
expenditures and investments, additional indebtedness, partner distributions and
payment of management fees. The Partnership was in compliance with all covenants
at December 31, 1996 and 1997. In 1995, the Partnership obtained, from the bank,
unconditional waivers of the following covenant violations: (1) to make a one-

are generally short-term, the Partnership anticipates such rentals will continue
in the future.

expires in December 1998. The minimum lease cost for 1998 is approximately
$6,000.

    THE COMBINED OPERATIONS OF PEGASUS CABLE TELEVISION OF CONNECTICUT, INC.
       AND THE MASSACHUSETTS OPERATIONS OF PEGASUS CABLE TELEVISION, INC.

                     NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

     These financial statements reflect the results of operations and financial
position of Pegasus Cable Television of Connecticut, Inc. ("PCT-CT"), a wholly
owned subsidiary of Pegasus Cable Television, Inc. ("PCT"), and the
Massachusetts Operations of Pegasus Cable Television, Inc. ("PCT-MA" or the
"Massachusetts Operations") (referred herein as the "Combined Operations"). PCT
is a wholly owned subsidiary of Pegasus Media & Communications, Inc. ("PM&C").
PM&C is a wholly owned subsidiary of Pegasus Communications Corporation ("PCC").

     On July 21, 1998, PCT sold the assets of its Combined Operations to Avalon
Cable of New England, LLC. for $30.1 million. In January 1997, PCT sold the
assets of its only other operating division, a cable television system that
provided service to individual and commercial subscribers in New Hampshire (the
"New Hampshire Operations") for $7.1 million.

     In presenting the historical financial position, results of operations and
cash flows of the Combined Operations, it has been necessary to eliminate the
results and financial position of the New Hampshire Operations. Many items are
identifiable as relating to the New Hampshire or Massachusetts divisions as PCT
has historically separated results of operations as well as billing and
collection activity. However, in certain areas, assumptions and estimates have
been required in order to eliminate the New Hampshire Operations for periods
prior to its sale. For purposes of eliminating the following balances: Prepaid
expenses and other; Deposits and other; Accounts payable; and Accrued expenses,
balances have been apportioned between the New Hampshire Operations and the
Massachusetts Operations on the basis of subscriber counts. Amounts due to and
due from affiliates have been allocated to PCT-MA and are included in these
financial statements.

     Prior to October 1996, BDI Associates, L.P. provided substantial support
services such as finance, accounting and human resources to PCT. Since October
1996, these services have been provided by PCC. All non-accounting costs of PCC
are allocated on the basis of average time spent servicing the divisions, while
the costs of the accounting function are allocated on the basis of revenue. In
the opinion of management, the methods used in allocating costs from PCC are
reasonable; however, the costs of these services as allocated are not
necessarily indicative of the costs that would have been incurred by the
Combined Operations on a stand-alone basis.

     The financial information included herein may not necessarily reflect the
results of operations, financial position and cash flows of the Combined
Operations in the future or what they would have been had it been a separate,
stand-alone entity during the periods presented.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

  Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements:

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingencies. Actual results could differ from
those estimates.

  Property and Equipment:

     Property and equipment are stated at cost. The cost and related accumulated
depreciation of assets sold, retired, or otherwise disposed of are removed from
the respective accounts, and any

resulting gains or losses are included in the statement of operations. Initial
subscriber installation costs, including material, labor and overhead costs of
the hookup, are capitalized as part of the distribution facilities. The costs of
disconnection and reconnection are charged to expense.

     Depreciation is computed for financial reporting purposes using the
straight-line method based upon the following lives:

<TABLE>
<S>                                                           <C>
Reception and distribution facilities.......................   7 to 11 years
Building and improvements...................................  12 to 39 years
Equipment, furniture and fixtures...........................   5 to 10 years
Vehicles....................................................    3 to 5 years
</TABLE>

  Intangible Assets:

     Intangible assets are stated at cost and amortized by the straight-line
method. Costs of successful franchise applications are capitalized and amortized
over the lives of the related franchise agreements, while unsuccessful franchise
applications and abandoned franchises are charged to expense. Financing costs
incurred in obtaining long-term financing are amortized over the term of the
applicable loan. Intangible assets are reviewed periodically for impairment or
whenever events or circumstances provide evidence that suggest that the carrying
amounts may not be recoverable. The Company assesses the recoverability of its
intangible assets by determining whether the amortization of the respective
intangible asset balance can be recovered through projected undiscounted future
cash flows.

     Amortization of intangible assets is computed for financial reporting
purposes using the straight-line method based upon the following lives:

<TABLE>
<S>                                                           <C>
Organization costs..........................................   5 years
Other intangibles...........................................   5 years
Deferred franchise costs....................................  15 years
</TABLE>

  Revenue:

     The Combined Operations recognize revenue when video and audio services are
provided.

  Advertising Costs:

     Advertising costs are charged to operations as incurred and totaled
$20,998, $12,768, $14,706 and $8,460 for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1996
and 1997 and for the six months ended June 30, 1998, respectively.

  Cash and Cash Equivalents:

     Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid investments purchased with
an initial maturity of three months or less. The Combined Operations have cash
balances in excess of the federally insured limits at various banks.

  Income Taxes:

     The Combined Operations is not a separate tax paying entity. Accordingly,
its results of operations have been included in the tax returns filed by PCC.
The accompanying financial statements include tax computations assuming the

             NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

  401(k) Plans

     Effective January 1, 1996, PM&C adopted the Pegasus Communications Savings

subsidiaries. Substantially all Company employees who, as of the enrollment date
under the 401(k) Plans, have completed at least one year of service with the
Company are eligible to participate in one of the 401(k) Plans. Participants may
make salary deferral contributions of 2% to 6% of their salary to the 401(k)

  Legal Matters:

     The operations of PCT-CT and PCT-MA are subject to regulation by the
Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") and other franchising authorities.

     From time to time the Combined Operations are also involved with claims
that arise in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, the
ultimate liability with respect to these claims will not have a material adverse
effect on the operations, cash flows or financial position of the Combined
Operations.

                         REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

Partners
Falcon Communications, L.P.

     We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Falcon
Communications, L.P. (successor to Falcon Holding Group, L.P.) as of December
31, 1997 and 1998, and the related consolidated statements of operations,
partners' deficit and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 1998. These consolidated financial statements are the
responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

     We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of
Falcon Communications, L.P. (successor to Falcon Holding Group, L.P.) at
December 31, 1997 and 1998 and the results of its operations and its cash flows
for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1998, in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

                          FALCON COMMUNICATIONS, L.P.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1 -- SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

FORM OF PRESENTATION

     Falcon Communications, L.P., a California limited partnership (the
"Partnership") and successor to Falcon Holding Group, L.P. ("FHGLP"), owns and
operates cable television systems serving small to medium-sized communities and
the suburbs of certain cities in 25 states. On September 30, 1998, pursuant to a
Contribution and Purchase Agreement dated as of December 30, 1997, as amended
(the "Contribution Agreement"), FHGLP acquired the assets and liabilities of
Falcon Video Communications, L.P. ("Falcon Video" or the "Falcon Video
Systems"), in exchange for ownership interests in FHGLP. Simultaneously with the
closing of that transaction, in accordance with the Contribution Agreement,
FHGLP contributed substantially all of the existing cable television system
operations owned by FHGLP and its subsidiaries (including the Falcon Video
Systems) to the Partnership and TCI Falcon Holdings, LLC ("TCI") contributed
certain cable television systems owned and operated by affiliates of TCI (the
"TCI Systems") to the Partnership (the "TCI Transaction"). As a result, TCI
holds approximately 46% of the equity interests of the Partnership and FHGLP
holds the remaining 54% and serves as the managing general partner of the
Partnership. The TCI Transaction is being accounted for as a recapitalization of
FHGLP into the Partnership and the concurrent acquisition by the Partnership of
the TCI Systems.

     The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Partnership and its subsidiary holding companies and cable television operating
partnerships and corporations, which include Falcon Cable Communications LLC
("Falcon LLC"), a Delaware limited liability company that serves as the general
manager of the cable television subsidiaries. The assets contributed by FHGLP to
the Partnership excluded certain immaterial investments, principally FHGLP's
ownership of 100% of the outstanding stock of Enstar Communications Corporation
("ECC"), which is the general partner and manager of fifteen limited
partnerships operating under the name "Enstar". ECC's ownership interest in the
Enstar partnerships ranges from 0.5% to 5%. Upon the consummation of the TCI
Transaction, the management of the Enstar partnerships was assigned to the
Partnership by FHGLP. The consolidated statements of operations and statements
of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 1998 include FHGLP's interest in
ECC for the nine months ended September 30, 1998. The effects of ECC's
operations on all previous periods presented are immaterial.

     Prior to closing the TCI Transaction, FHGLP owned and operated cable
television systems in 23 states. FHGLP also controlled, held varying equity
interests in and managed certain other cable television partnerships (the
"Affiliated Partnerships") for a fee. FHGLP is a limited partnership, the sole
general partner of which is Falcon Holding Group, Inc., a California corporation
("FHGI"). FHGI also holds a 1% interest in certain of the subsidiaries of the
Partnership. At the beginning of 1998, the Affiliated Partnerships were
comprised of Falcon Classic Cable Income Properties, L.P. ("Falcon Classic")
whose cable television systems are referred to as the "Falcon Classic Systems,"
Falcon Video and the Enstar partnerships. As discussed in Note 3, the Falcon
Classic Systems were acquired by FHGLP during 1998. The Falcon Video Systems
were acquired on September 30, 1998 in connection with the TCI Transaction. As a
result of these transactions, the Affiliated Partnerships consist solely of the
Enstar partnerships from October 1, 1998 forward.

     All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated
in consolidation. The consolidated financial statements do not give effect to
any assets that the partners may have

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)


outside their interests in the Partnership, nor to any obligations, including
income taxes, of the partners.

     On July 12, 1996, the Partnership acquired the assets of Falcon Cable
Systems Company ("FCSC"), an Affiliated Partnership. The results of operations
of these cable systems have been included in the consolidated financial
statements from July 12, 1996. Management fees and reimbursed expenses received
by the Partnership from FCSC for the period of January 1, 1996 through July 11,
1996 are also included in the consolidated financial statements and have not
been eliminated in consolidation. See Note 3.

CASH EQUIVALENTS

     For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Partnership
considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an initial maturity
of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents at December 31,
1996, 1997 and 1998 included $4.1 million, $4.5 million and $345,000 of
investments in commercial paper and short-term investment funds of major
financial institutions.

INVESTMENTS IN AFFILIATED PARTNERSHIPS

     Prior to closing the TCI Transaction, the Partnership was the general
partner of certain entities, which in turn acted as general partner of the
Affiliated Partnerships. The Partnership's effective ownership interests in the
Affiliated Partnerships were less than one percent. The Affiliated Partnerships
were accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Equity in net losses
were recorded to the extent of the investments in and advances to the
partnerships plus obligations for which the Partnership, as general partner, was
responsible. The liabilities of the Affiliated Partnerships, other than amounts
due the Partnership, principally consisted of debt for borrowed money and
related accrued interest. The Partnership's ownership interests in the
Affiliated Partnerships were eliminated in 1998 with the acquisition of Falcon
Video and Falcon Classic and the retention by FHGLP of its interests in the
Enstar partnerships.

PROPERTY, PLANT, EQUIPMENT AND DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION

     Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Direct costs associated
with installations in homes not previously served by cable are capitalized as
part of the distribution system, and reconnects are expensed as incurred. For
financial reporting, depreciation and amortization is computed using the
straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives.

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)


FRANCHISE COST AND GOODWILL

     The excess of cost over the fair values of tangible assets and customer
lists of cable television systems acquired represents the cost of franchises and
goodwill. In addition, franchise cost includes capitalized costs incurred in
obtaining new franchises and in the renewal of existing franchises. These costs
are amortized using the straight-line method over the lives of the franchises,
ranging up to 28 years (composite 15 year average). Goodwill is amortized over
20 years. Costs relating to unsuccessful franchise applications are charged to
expense when it is determined that the efforts to obtain the franchise will not
be successful.

CUSTOMER LISTS AND OTHER INTANGIBLE COSTS

     Customer lists and other intangible costs include customer lists, covenants
not to compete and organization costs which are amortized using the
straight-line method over two to five years.

     In 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued
Statement of Position 98-5, "Reporting on Costs of Start-Up Activities". The new
standard, which becomes effective for the Partnership on January 1, 1999,
requires costs of start-up activities, including certain organization costs, to
be expensed as incurred. Previously capitalized start-up costs are to be written
off as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. The Partnership
believes that adoption of this standard will not have a material impact on the
Partnership's financial position or results of operations.

DEFERRED LOAN COSTS

     Costs related to borrowings are capitalized and amortized to interest
expense over the life of the related loan.

RECOVERABILITY OF ASSETS

     The Partnership assesses on an ongoing basis the recoverability of
intangible assets (including goodwill) and capitalized plant assets based on
estimates of future undiscounted cash flows compared to net book value. If the
future undiscounted cash flow estimates were less than net book value, net book
value would then be reduced to estimated fair value, which generally
approximates discounted cash flows. The Partnership also evaluates the
amortization periods of assets, including goodwill and other intangible assets,
to determine whether events or circumstances warrant revised estimates of useful
lives.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

     Revenues from customer fees, equipment rental and advertising are
recognized in the period that services are delivered. Installation revenue is
recognized in the period the installation services are provided to the extent of
direct selling costs. Any remaining amount is deferred and recognized over the
estimated average period that customers are expected to remain connected to the
cable television system. Management fees are recognized on the accrual basis
based on a percentage of gross revenues of the respective cable television
systems managed. Effective October 1, 1998, 20% of the management fees from the
Enstar partnerships is retained by FHGLP.

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)


DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

     As part of the Partnership's management of financial market risk and as
required by certain covenants in its New Credit Agreement, the Partnership
enters into various transactions that involve contracts and financial
instruments with off-balance-sheet risk, principally interest rate swap and
interest rate cap agreements. The Partnership enters into these agreements in
order to manage the interest-rate sensitivity associated with its variable-rate
indebtedness. The differential to be paid or received in connection with
interest rate swap and interest rate cap agreements is recognized as interest
rates change and is charged or credited to interest expense over the life of the
agreements. Gains or losses for early termination of those contracts are
recognized as an adjustment to interest expense over the remaining portion of
the original life of the terminated contract.

     In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," which is required to be adopted
in years beginning after June 15, 1999. The Partnership expects to adopt the new
statement effective January 1, 2000. SFAS 133 will require the Partnership to
recognize all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. Derivatives that
are not hedges must be adjusted to fair value through income. If the derivative
is a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of
derivatives are either offset against the changes in fair value of assets,
liabilities, or firm commitments through earnings or recognized in other
comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. The
ineffective portion of a derivative's change in fair value will be immediately
recognized in earnings. The Partnership believes that adoption of SFAS 133 will
not have a material impact on the Partnership's financial position or results of
operations.

INCOME TAXES

     The Partnership and its subsidiaries, except for Falcon First, are limited
partnerships or limited liability companies and pay no income taxes as entities
except for nominal taxes assessed by certain state jurisdictions. All of the
income, gains, losses, deductions and credits of the Partnership are passed
through to its partners. The basis in the Partnership's assets and liabilities
differs for financial and tax reporting purposes. At December 31, 1998, the book
basis of the Partnership's net assets exceeded its tax basis by $621.8 million.

REPORTING COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

     In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive
Income," which established standards for the reporting and display of
comprehensive income and its components in a full set of comparative
general-purpose financial statements. SFAS 130 became effective for the
Partnership on January 1, 1998. The Partnership does not currently have items of
comprehensive income.

ADVERTISING COSTS

     All advertising costs are expensed as incurred.

USE OF ESTIMATES

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)


reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results
could differ from those estimates.

RECLASSIFICATIONS

     Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the 1998
presentation.

NOTE 2 -- PARTNERSHIP MATTERS

     The Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of FCLP ("FCLP
Partnership Agreement") provides that profits and losses will be allocated, and
distributions will be made, in proportion to the partners' percentage interests.
FHGLP is the managing general partner and a limited partner and owns a 54%
interest in FCLP, and TCI is a general partner and owns a 46% interest. The
partners' percentage interests are based on the relative net fair market values
of the assets contributed to FCLP under the Contribution Agreement, as estimated
at the closing. The percentage interests were subsequently adjusted to reflect
the December 1998 redemption of a small part of FHGLP's partnership interest. To
the extent the relative net fair market values of the assets contributed to FCLP
under the Contribution Agreement, as finally determined, are different from the
estimates used to calculate the partners' percentage interests, one or the other
of the partners will be required to make an additional cash capital contribution
to FCLP so as to cause the partners' capital contributions to be in proportion
to their percentage interests. Any such additional cash contribution is required
to be made only to the extent of distributions by FCLP to the contributing
partner. Any such additional cash contribution must be accompanied by interest
at 9% per year from the date of closing or, in certain cases, from the date on
which FCLP incurred any liability that affected the net fair market value of the
parties' capital contributions.

     At any time after September 30, 2005, either TCI or FHGLP can offer to sell
to the other partner the offering partner's entire partnership interest in FCLP
for a negotiated price. The partner receiving such an offer may accept or reject
the offer. If the partner receiving such an offer rejects it, the offering
partner may elect to cause FCLP to be liquidated and dissolved in accordance
with the FCLP Partnership Agreement.

     The Partnership expires on July 1, 2013. The Partnership will be dissolved
prior to its expiration date under certain circumstances, including the
withdrawal of FHGLP as the managing general partner (unless the partners vote to
continue the Partnership), the sale of substantially all of the Partnership's
assets, and at the election by TCI in the event of changes in FCLP's key
management.

     The FCLP Partnership Agreement provides for an Advisory Committee
consisting of six individual representatives, three of whom are appointed by
FHGLP, two of whom are appointed by TCI and one of whom is appointed by joint
designation of FHGLP and TCI. The FCLP Partnership Agreement prohibits FCLP from
taking certain actions without the affirmative vote of a majority of the members
of the Advisory Committee, including, but not limited to, the following: (1) the
acquisition or disposition of assets under certain circumstances; and (2)
conducting or entering into any line of business other than the ownership and
operation of cable television systems and related and ancillary businesses.

     The FCLP Partnership Agreement further prohibits the Partnership from
taking certain actions without the affirmative approval of TCI, including, but
not limited to, the following: (1) any merger, consolidation, recapitalization
or other reorganization, with certain permitted exceptions;

                   (SUCCESSOR TO FALCON HOLDING GROUP, L.P.)



           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)


(2) the acquisition or disposition of assets under certain circumstances; (3)
any sale or disposition of assets that would result in the allocation of taxable
income or gain to TCI; (4) incurring indebtedness if, after giving effect to
such indebtedness, FCLP's Operating Cash Flow Ratio, as defined, would exceed
8.0:1 through April 15, 2000 and 7.5:1 thereafter; (5) the issuance or
redemption of any partnership interest or convertible interest, with certain
permitted exceptions; (6) any transaction with FHGLP or any affiliate of FHGLP,
with certain permitted exceptions; (7) the adoption or amendment of any
management incentive plan; (8) the incurring of Net Overhead Expenses, as
defined, that exceed 4.5% of the gross revenues of FCLP and its subsidiaries in
any fiscal year; or (9) the liquidation or dissolution of FCLP, except in
accordance with the provisions of the FCLP Partnership Agreement.

     TCI may elect to purchase all of FHGLP's interests in the Partnership in
certain circumstances if a court finds that FHGLP has engaged in conduct while
acting as Managing General Partner that has resulted in material harm to the
Partnership or TCI.

     Prior to the closing of the TCI Transaction, the FHGLP Partnership
Agreement gave certain partners of FHGLP certain rights and priorities with
respect to other partners. Among these rights were stated obligations of the
Partnership to redeem certain partners' partnership interests at fair value or,
in some cases, at stated value. These rights and priorities were eliminated upon
the closing of the TCI Transaction. At the closing of the TCI Transaction, a
portion of the partnership interests held by certain FHGLP limited partners,
having an agreed value of $154.7 million, were redeemed for cash.

     Under the amended FHGLP partnership agreement, the non-management limited
partners of FHGLP may elect at certain times either to require the incorporation
of FHGLP or to require that FHGLP elect to incorporate FCLP. Neither of these
elections may be made prior to March 30, 2006. If the non-management limited
partners of FHGLP make either of these elections, then, at any time more than
six months after the election and prior to the date on which the incorporation
is completed, the non-management limited partners of FHGLP may elect to require
that FCLP (or, if FHGLP has purchased all of TCI's interest in FCLP, FHGLP)
purchase all of the non-management partners' partnership interests in FHGLP.
Under certain circumstances, a non-management limited partner of FHGLP may elect
to exclude its partnership interest in FHGLP from the purchase and sale and,
upon such election, all put and call rights with respect to such partner's
partnership interest in FHGLP will terminate.

     The put and call rights with respect to the partnership interests of the
non-management partners will terminate automatically if either FHGLP or FCLP is
incorporated, if the corporation that succeeds to the assets of FHGLP or FCLP
concurrently effects an initial public offering, and if the aggregate price to
the public (before underwriting discounts or commissions, registration fees, and
other expenses) of all stock sold in the public offering (including stock sold
by any selling shareholders, but excluding stock of a different class from that
acquired by the non-management partners in the incorporation) is at least $150
million.

     At any time on or after April 1, 2006, FCLP (or, if FHGLP has purchased all
of TCI's interest in FCLP, FHGLP) may require that each of the non-management
limited partners of FHGLP sell its entire interest in FHGLP to FCLP or FHGLP, as
applicable. In the case of either a put or a call of the non-management limited
partners' interests in FHGLP, the purchase price will equal the amount that
would be distributed to each partner in dissolution and liquidation of FHGLP,
assuming the sale of FCLP's assets at fair market value, as determined by three
appraisers.

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)


     The estimated redemption values at December 31, 1997 and December 31, 1998
were $171.4 million and $133 million, respectively, and are reflected in the
consolidated financial statements as redeemable partners' equity. Such amounts
were determined based on management's estimate of the relative fair value of
such interests under current market conditions. Management of the Partnership
will continue to adjust the recorded redemption values based on its estimate of
the relative fair value of the interests subject to redemption. The actual
redemption value of any partnership interests will generally be determined
through the third-party appraisal mechanisms described in the partnership
agreements, and the appraisers will not be bound by management's estimates.
Accordingly, such appraised valuations may be greater than or less than
management's estimates and any such variations could be significant.

     While the Partnership has assumed the obligations of FHGLP under the 1993
Incentive Performance Plan (the "Incentive Performance Plan"), FHGLP has agreed
to contribute cash to the Partnership in an amount equal to any payments made by
the Partnership under the Incentive Performance Plan.

NOTE 3 -- ACQUISITIONS AND SALES

     The Partnership acquired the cable television systems of FCSC on July 12,
1996 through a newly-formed subsidiary operating partnership for a purchase
price of $253 million including transaction costs. The acquisition of FCSC was
accounted for by the purchase method of accounting, whereby the purchase price
of the FCSC assets was allocated based on an appraisal. The excess of purchase
price over the fair value of net assets acquired, or $18.2 million, has been
recorded as goodwill and is being amortized using the straight-line method over
20 years.

     In March and July 1998, FHGLP acquired the Falcon Classic Systems for an
aggregate purchase price of $83.4 million. Falcon Classic had revenue of
approximately $20.3 million for the year ended December 31, 1997.

     As discussed in Note 1, on September 30, 1998 the Partnership acquired the
TCI Systems and the Falcon Video Systems in accordance with the Contribution
Agreement.

     The acquisitions of the TCI Systems, the Falcon Video Systems and the
Falcon Classic Systems were accounted for by the purchase method of accounting,
whereby the purchase prices were allocated to the assets acquired and
liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the dates of
acquisition, as follows:

     The excess of purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired has
been recorded as goodwill and is being amortized using the straight-line method
over 20 years. The allocation of the purchase price may be subject to possible
adjustment pursuant to the Contribution Agreement.

     The general partnership interests issued in the TCI Transaction were valued
in proportion to the estimated fair value of the TCI Systems and the Falcon
Video Systems as compared to the estimated fair value of the Partnership's
assets, which was agreed upon in the Contribution Agreement by all holders of
Partnership interests.

NOTE 4 -- DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

     The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value
of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate
that value:

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

     The carrying amount approximates fair value due to the short maturity of
those instruments.

NOTES PAYABLE

     The fair value of the Partnership's 11% Senior Subordinated Notes, 8.375%
Senior Debentures and 9.285% Senior Discount Debentures is based on quoted
market prices for those issues of debt. The fair value of the Partnership's
other subordinated notes is based on quoted market prices for similar issues of
debt with similar maturities. The carrying amount of the Partnership's remaining
debt outstanding approximates fair value due to its variable rate nature.

INTEREST RATE HEDGING AGREEMENTS

     The fair value of interest rate hedging agreements is estimated by
obtaining quotes from brokers as to the amount either party would be required to
pay or receive in order to terminate the agreements.

     The following table depicts the fair value of each class of financial
instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value as of December
31:

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)


  (a) 11% Senior Subordinated Notes

     On March 29, 1993, FHGLP issued $175 million aggregate principal amount of
11% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2003 (the "Notes"). Interest payment dates
were semi-annual on each March 15 and September 15 commencing September 15,
1993. Through September 15, 2000 FHGLP, at its option, could pay all or any
portion of accrued interest on the Notes by delivering to the holders thereof,
in lieu of cash, additional Notes having an aggregate principal amount equal to
the amount of accrued interest not paid in cash. Through December 31, 1997, the
Partnership elected to issue $107.2 million additional notes as payment-in-kind
for interest. The Partnership elected to pay the interest payment due March 15,
1998 in cash and, under the terms of the Notes, was required to continue to make
cash payments.

     On May 19, 1998, FHGLP repurchased approximately $247.8 million aggregate
principal amount of the Notes for an aggregate purchase price of $270.3 million
pursuant to a fixed spread tender offer for all outstanding Notes. The Notes
tendered represented approximately 88% of the Notes previously outstanding. The
approximate $34.4 million of Notes not repurchased in the tender offer were
redeemed on September 15, 1998 in accordance with their terms.

  (b) 8.375% Senior Debentures and 9.285% Senior Discount Debentures

     On April 3, 1998, FHGLP and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Falcon Funding
Corporation ("FFC" and, collectively with FHGLP, the "Issuers"), sold
$375,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 8.375% Senior Debentures due 2010
(the "Senior Debentures") and $435,250,000 aggregate principal amount at
maturity of 9.285% Senior Discount Debentures due 2010 (the "Senior Discount
Debentures" and, collectively with the Senior Debentures, the "Debentures") in a
private placement. The Debentures were exchanged for debentures with the same
form and terms, but registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in
August 1998.

     In connection with consummation of the TCI Transaction, the Partnership was
substituted for FHGLP as an obligor under the Debentures and thereupon FHGLP was
released and discharged from any further obligation with respect to the
Debentures and the related Indenture. FFC remains as an obligor under the
Debentures and is now a wholly owned subsidiary of the Partnership. FFC was
incorporated solely for the purpose of serving as a co-issuer of the Debentures
and does not have any material operations or assets and will not have any
revenues.

     The Senior Discount Debentures were issued at a price of 63.329% per $1,000
aggregate principal amount at maturity, for total gross proceeds of
approximately $275.6 million, and will accrete to stated value at an annual rate
of 9.285% until April 15, 2003. The unamortized discount amounted to $140.3
million at December 31, 1998. After giving effect to offering discounts,
commissions and estimated expenses of the offering, the sale of the Debentures
(representing aggregate indebtedness of approximately $650.6 million as of the
date of issuance) generated net proceeds of approximately $631 million. The
Partnership used substantially all the net proceeds from the sale of the
Debentures to repay outstanding bank indebtedness.

  (c) Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

     The Partnership had a $775 million senior secured Amended and Restated
Credit Agreement that was scheduled to mature on July 11, 2005. The Amended and
Restated Credit Agreement required the Partnership to make annual reductions of
$1 million on the term loan portion

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)


commencing December 31, 1997. Maximum available borrowings under the Amended and
Restated Credit Agreement were $774 million at December 31, 1997. The Amended
and Restated Credit Agreement required interest on the amount outstanding under
the reducing revolver portion to be tied to the ratio of consolidated total debt
(as defined) to consolidated annualized cash flow (as defined). Interest rates
were based on LIBOR or prime rates at the option of the Partnership. The LIBOR
margin under the reducing revolver ranged from 0.75% to 1.625%, while interest
on the term loan was at the LIBOR rate plus 2.375%.

     At December 31, 1997, the weighted average interest rate on borrowings
outstanding under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (including the
effects of the interest rate hedging agreements) was 7.69%. The Partnership was
also required to pay a commitment fee per annum on the unused portion.

  (d) New Credit Facility

     On June 30, 1998, the Partnership entered into a new $1.5 billion senior
credit facility (the "New Credit Facility") which replaced the Amended and
Restated Credit Agreement and provided funds for the closing of the TCI
Transaction. See Note 1. The borrowers under the New Credit Facility were the
operating subsidiaries prior to consummation of the TCI Transaction and,
following the TCI Transaction, the borrower is Falcon LLC. The restricted
companies, as defined under the New Credit Facility, are Falcon LLC and each of
its subsidiaries (excluding certain subsidiaries designated as excluded
companies from time to time) and each restricted company (other than Falcon LLC)
is also a guarantor of the New Credit Facility.

     The New Credit Facility consists of three committed facilities (one
revolver and two term loans) and one uncommitted $350 million supplemental
credit facility (the terms of which will be negotiated at the time the
Partnership makes a request to draw on such facility). Facility A is a $650
million revolving credit facility maturing December 29, 2006; Facility B is a
$200 million term loan maturing June 29, 2007; and Facility C is a $300 million
term loan maturing December 31, 2007. All of Facility C and approximately $126
million of Facility B were funded on June 30, 1998, and the debt outstanding
under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement of approximately $329 million
was repaid. As a result, from June 30, 1998 until September 29, 1998, FHGLP had
an excess cash balance of approximately $90 million. Immediately prior to
closing the TCI Transaction, approximately $39 million was borrowed under
Facility A to discharge certain indebtedness of Falcon Video. In connection with
consummation of the TCI Transaction, Falcon LLC assumed the approximately $433
million of indebtedness outstanding under the New Credit Facility. In addition
to utilizing cash on hand of approximately $63 million, Falcon LLC borrowed the
approximately $74 million remaining under Facility B and approximately $366
million under Facility A to discharge approximately $73 million of Falcon Video
indebtedness and to retire approximately $430 million of TCI indebtedness
assumed as part of the contribution of the TCI Systems. As a result of these
borrowings, the amount outstanding under the New Credit Facility at December 31,
1998 was $926 million. Subject to covenant limitations, the Partnership had
available to it additional borrowing capacity thereunder of $224 million at
December 31, 1998. However, limitations imposed by the Partnership's partnership
agreement as amended would limit available borrowings at December 31, 1998 to
$23.1 million.

  (e) Other subordinated notes

     Other subordinated notes consist of 11.56% Subordinated Notes due March
2001. The subordinated note agreement contains certain covenants which are
substantially the same as the

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)


covenants under the New Credit Facility, which is described in (d) above. At
December 31, 1998, management believes that the Partnership was in compliance
with such covenants.

  (f) Other

     Other notes payable as of December 31, 1997 consisted of $7.5 million owed
by Enstar Finance Company, LLC ("EFC"). FHGLP's interest in EFC was not
contributed to FCLP on September 30, 1998. Consequently, EFC's obligations are
excluded from those of the Partnership as of December 31, 1998.

  (g) Interest Rate Hedging Agreements

     The Partnership utilizes interest rate hedging agreements to establish
long-term fixed interest rates on a portion of its variable-rate debt. The New
Credit Facility requires that interest be tied to the ratio of consolidated
total debt to consolidated annualized cash flow (in each case, as defined
therein), and further requires that the Partnership maintain hedging
arrangements with respect to at least 50% of the outstanding borrowings
thereunder plus any additional borrowings of the Partnership, including the
Debentures, for a two year period. As of December 31, 1998, borrowings under the
New Credit Facility bore interest at an average rate of 7.55% (including the
effect of interest rate hedging agreements). The Partnership has entered into
fixed interest rate hedging agreements with an aggregate notional amount at
December 31, 1998 of $1.485 billion, including contracts of $160 million assumed
from Falcon Video in connection with the TCI Transaction. Agreements in effect
at December 31, 1998 totaled $910 million, with the remaining $575 million to
become effective as certain of the existing contracts mature during 1999 through
October of 2004. These agreements expire at various times through October, 2006.
In addition to these agreements, the Partnership has one interest rate swap
contract with a notional amount of $25 million under which it pays variable
LIBOR rates and receives fixed rate payments.

     The hedging agreements resulted in additional interest expense of $1
million, $350,000 and $1.2 million for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1997
and 1998, respectively. The Partnership does not believe that it has any
significant risk of exposure to non-performance by any of its counterparties.

  (i) Extraordinary Item

     Fees and expenses incurred in connection with the repurchase of the Notes
on May 19, 1998 and the retirement of the remaining Notes on September 15, 1998
were $19.7 million in the aggregate. In addition, the unamortized portion of
deferred loan costs related to the Notes and the Amended and Restated Credit
Agreement, which amounted to $10.9 million in the aggregate, were written off as
an extraordinary charge upon the extinguishment of the related debt.

NOTE 7 -- COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

     The Partnership leases land, office space and equipment under operating
leases expiring at various dates through the year 2039. See Note 9.

     Future minimum rentals for operating leases at December 31, 1998 are as

</TABLE>

     In most cases, management expects that, in the normal course of business,
these leases will be renewed or replaced by other leases. Rent expense amounted
to $2.1 million in 1996, $2.4 million in 1997 and $3.1 million in 1998.

     In addition, the Partnership rents line space on utility poles in some of
the franchise areas it serves. These rentals amounted to $2.8 million for 1996,
$3.1 million for 1997 and $3.9 million for 1998. Generally, such pole rental
agreements are short-term; however, the Partnership anticipates such rentals
will continue in the future.

     Beginning in August 1997, the Partnership elected to self-insure its cable
distribution plant and subscriber connections against property damage as well as
possible business interruptions caused by such damage. The decision to
self-insure was made due to significant increases in the cost of insurance
coverage and decreases in the amount of insurance coverage available. In October
1998, the Partnership reinstated third party insurance coverage against damage
to its cable distribution plant and subscriber connections and against business
interruptions resulting from such damage. This coverage is subject to a
significant annual deductible and is intended to limit the Partnership's
exposure to catastrophic losses, if any, in future periods. Management believes
that the relatively small size of the Partnership's markets in any one
geographic area, coupled with their geographic separation, will mitigate the
risk that the Partnership could sustain losses due to seasonal weather
conditions or other events that, in the aggregate, could have a material adverse
effect on the Partnership's liquidity and cash flows. The Partnership continues
to purchase insurance coverage in amounts management views as appropriate for
all other property, liability, automobile, workers' compensation and other types
of insurable risks.

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)


     The Partnership is required under various franchise agreements at December
31, 1998 to rebuild certain existing cable systems at a cost of approximately
$83 million.

     The Partnership is regulated by various federal, state and local government
entities. The Cable Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992
(the "1992 Cable Act"), provides for among other things, federal and local
regulation of rates charged for basic cable service, cable programming service
tiers ("CPSTs") and equipment and installation services. Regulations issued in
1993 and significantly amended in 1994 by the Federal Communications Commission
(the "FCC") have resulted in changes in the rates charged for the Partnership's
cable services. The Partnership believes that compliance with the 1992 Cable Act
has had a negative impact on its operations and cash flow. It also presently
believes that any potential future liabilities for refund claims or other
related actions would not be material. The Telecommunications Act of 1996 (the
"1996 Telecom Act") was signed into law on February 8, 1996. As it pertains to
cable television, the 1996 Telecom Act, among other things, (i) ends the
regulation of certain CPSTs in 1999; (ii) expands the definition of effective
competition, the existence of which displaces rate regulation; (iii) eliminates
the restriction against the ownership and operation of cable systems by
telephone companies within their local exchange service areas; and (iv)
liberalizes certain of the FCC's cross-ownership restrictions.

     The Partnership has various contracts to obtain basic and premium
programming from program suppliers whose compensation is generally based on a
fixed fee per customer or a percentage of the gross receipts for the particular
service. Some program suppliers provide volume discount pricing structures or
offer marketing support to the Partnership. The Partnership's programming
contracts are generally for a fixed period of time and are subject to negotiated
renewal. The Partnership does not have long-term programming contracts for the
supply of a substantial amount of its programming. Accordingly, no assurances
can be given that the Partnership's programming costs will not continue to
increase substantially or that other materially adverse terms will not be added
to the Partnership's programming contracts. Management believes, however, that
the Partnership's relations with its programming suppliers generally are good.

     Effective December 1, 1998, the Partnership elected to obtain certain of
its programming services through an affiliate of TCI. This election resulted in
a reduction in the Partnership's programming costs, the majority of which will
be passed on to its customers in the form of reduced rates in compliance with
FCC rules. The Partnership has elected to continue to acquire its remaining
programming services under its existing programming contracts, but may elect to
acquire additional programming services through the TCI affiliate in the future.
The Partnership, in the normal course of business, purchases cable programming
services from certain program suppliers owned in whole or in part by an
affiliate of TCI.

     The Partnership is periodically a party to various legal proceedings. Such
legal proceedings are ordinary and routine litigation proceedings that are
incidental to the Partnership's business, and management presently believes that
the outcome of all pending legal proceedings will not, in the aggregate, have a
material adverse effect on the financial condition of the Partnership.

     The Partnership, certain of its affiliates, and certain third parties have
been named as defendants in an action entitled Frank O'Shea I.R.A. et al. v.
Falcon Cable Systems Company, et al., Case No. BC 147386, pending in the
Superior Court of the State of California, County of Los Angeles (the "Action").
Plaintiffs in the Action are certain former unitholders of FCSC purporting to
represent a class consisting of former unitholders of FCSC other than those
affiliated with FCSC and/or its controlling persons. The complaint in the Action
alleges, among other things,
                                      F-425

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)


that defendants breached their fiduciary and contractual duties to unitholders,
and acted negligently, with respect to the purchase from former unitholders of
their interests in FCSC in 1996. A settlement of the action has been agreed to
and will be presented to the court for approval on April 22, 1999. The terms of
the settlement, if approved, are not expected to have a material adverse effect
on the financial condition of the Partnership. Net of insurance proceeds, the
settlement's cost to the Partnership would amount to approximately $2.7 million,
all of which had been reserved as of December 31, 1998. The Partnership
recognized expenses related to the settlement of $52,000, $145,000 and $2.5
million in 1996, 1997 and 1998, respectively.

NOTE 8 -- EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

     The subsidiaries of the Partnership have a cash or deferred profit sharing
plan (the "Profit Sharing Plan") covering substantially all of their employees.
FHGLP joined in the adoption of the FHGI cash or deferred profit sharing plan as
of March 31, 1993. The provisions of this plan were amended to be substantially
identical to the provisions of the Profit Sharing Plan.

     The Profit Sharing Plan provides that each participant may elect to make a
contribution in an amount up to 20% of the participant's annual compensation
which otherwise would have been payable to the participant as salary. The
Partnership's contribution to the Profit Sharing Plan, as determined by
management, is discretionary but may not exceed 15% of the annual aggregate
compensation (as defined) paid to all participating employees. There were no
contributions for the Profit Sharing Plan in 1996, 1997 or 1998.

     On September 30 1998, the Partnership assumed the obligations of FHGLP for
its 1993 Incentive Performance Plan (the "Incentive Plan"). The value of the
interests in the Incentive Plan is tied to the equity value of certain
partnership units in FHGLP held by FHGI. In connection with the assumption by
the Partnership, FHGLP agreed to fund any benefits payable under the Incentive
Plan through additional capital contributions to the Partnership, the waiver of
its rights to receive all or part of certain distributions from the Partnership
and/or a contribution of a portion of its partnership units to the Partnership.
The benefits which are payable under the Incentive Plan are equal to the amount
of distributions which FHGI would have otherwise received with respect to
1,932.67 of the units of FHGLP held by FHGI and a portion of FHGI's interest in
certain of the partnerships that are the general partners of the Partnership's
operating subsidiaries. Benefits are payable under the Incentive Plan only when
distributions would otherwise be paid to FHGI with respect to the
above-described units and interests. The Incentive Plan is scheduled to
terminate on January 5, 2003, at which time the Partnership is required to
distribute the units described above to the participants in the Incentive Plan.
At such time, FHGLP is required to cause the units to be contributed to the
Partnership to fund such distributions. The participants in the Incentive Plan
are present and former employees of the Partnership, FHGLP and its operating
affiliates, all of whom are 100% vested. Prior to the closing of the TCI
Transaction, FHGLP amended the Incentive Plan to provide for payments by FHGLP
at the closing of the TCI Transaction to participants in an aggregate amount of
approximately $6.5 million and to reduce by such amount FHGLP's obligations to
make future payments to participants under the Incentive Plan.

     In 1999, the Partnership adopted a Restricted Unit Plan (the "New FCLP
Incentive Plan" or "Plan") for the benefit of certain employees. Grants of
restricted units are provided at the discretion of the Advisory Committee. The
value of the units in the New FCLP Incentive Plan is tied to the equity value of
FCLP above a base equity as determined initially in 1999 by the partners, and
for grants in subsequent years by an appraisal. Benefits are payable under the

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)


New FCLP Incentive Plan only when distributions would otherwise be payable to
equity holders of FCLP. An initial grant of 100,000 units representing 2.75% of
the equity of FCLP in excess of the equity base was approved and will be
allocated to the participants in the Plan. There is a five-year vesting
requirement for all participants.

NOTE 9 -- RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

     The Partnership is a separate, stand-alone holding company which employs
all of the management personnel. The Partnership is financially dependent on the
receipt of permitted payments from its operating subsidiaries, management and
consulting fees from domestic cable ventures, and the reimbursement of specified
expenses by certain of the Affiliated Partnerships to fund its operations.
Expected increases in the funding requirements of the Partnership combined with
limitations on its sources of cash may create liquidity issues for the
Partnership in the future. Specifically, the Amended and Restated Credit
Agreement and, subsequently, the New Credit Facility, permitted the subsidiaries
of the Partnership to remit to the Partnership no more than 4.25% of their net
cable revenues, as defined, in any year, effective July 12, 1996. Beginning on
January 1, 1999, this limitation was increased to 4.5% of net cable revenues in
any year. As a result of the 1998 acquisition by the Partnership of the Falcon
Classic and Falcon Video Systems, the Partnership will no longer receive
management fees and reimbursed expenses from Falcon Classic or receive
management fees from Falcon Video. Commencing on October 1, 1998, FHGLP retains
20% of the management fees paid by the Enstar partnerships. The management fees
earned from the Enstar partnerships were $1.9 million, $2 million and $1.9
million for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998, respectively.

     The management and consulting fees and expense reimbursements earned from
the Affiliated Partnerships amounted to approximately $6.3 million and $3.7
million, $5.2 million and $2.1 million and $3.7 million and $1.5 million for the
years ended December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998, respectively. The fees and expense
reimbursements of $6.3 million and $3.7 million earned in 1996 included $1.5
million and $1 million earned from FCSC from January 1, 1996 through July 11,
1996. The fees and expense reimbursements of $3.7 million and $1.5 million
earned in 1998 included $191,000 and $128,000 earned from Falcon Classic from
January 1, 1998 through July 16, 1998, and $1.2 million in management fees from
Falcon Video from January 1, 1998 through September 30, 1998. Subsequent to
these acquisitions, the amounts payable to the Partnership in respect of its
management of the former FCSC, Falcon Classic and Falcon Video Systems became
subject to the limitations contained in the Amended and Restated Credit
Agreement and, subsequently, the New Credit Facility.

     Receivables from the Affiliated Partnerships for services and
reimbursements described above amounted to approximately $11.3 million and $2.3
million (which, in 1997, included $7.5 million of notes receivable from the
Enstar partnerships) at December 31, 1997 and 1998.

     Included in Commitments and Contingencies (Note 7) are two facility lease
agreements with the Partnership's Chief Executive Officer and his wife, or
entities owned by them, requiring annual future minimum rental payments
aggregating $2.1 million through 2001, one facility being assumed by a
subsidiary as part of the assets acquired on July 12, 1996 from FCSC. That
subsidiary acquired the property in February 1999 for $282,500, a price
determined by two independent appraisals. During the years ended December 31,
1996, 1997 and 1998 rent expense on the first facility amounted to $397,000,
$383,000 and $416,000, respectively. The rent paid for the second facility for
the period July 12, 1996 through December 31, 1996 amounted to

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)


approximately $18,000, and the amount paid in each of 1997 and 1998 was
approximately $41,000.

     In addition, the Partnership provides certain accounting, bookkeeping and
clerical services to the Partnership's Chief Executive Officer. The costs of
services provided were determined based on allocations of time plus overhead
costs (rent, parking, supplies, telephone, etc.). Such services amounted to
$118,300, $163,000 and $212,000 for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1997 and
1998, respectively. These costs were net of amounts reimbursed to the
Partnership by the Chief Executive Officer amounting to $75,000, $55,000 and
$72,000 for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998, respectively.

                   (SUCCESSOR TO FALCON HOLDING GROUP, L.P.)


         NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1 -- BASIS OF PRESENTATION


     Falcon Communications, L.P., a California limited partnership (the
"Partnership") and successor to Falcon Holding Group, L.P. ("FHGLP"), owns and
operates cable television systems serving small to medium-sized communities and
the suburbs of certain cities in 23 states. On September 30, 1998, pursuant to a
Contribution and Purchase Agreement dated as of December 30, 1997, as amended
(the "Contribution Agreement"), FHGLP acquired the assets and liabilities of
Falcon Video Communications, L.P. ("Falcon Video" or the "Falcon Video
systems"), in exchange for ownership interests in FHGLP. Simultaneously with the
closing of that transaction, in accordance with the Contribution Agreement,
FHGLP contributed substantially all of the existing cable television system
operations owned by FHGLP and its subsidiaries (including the Falcon Video
systems) to the Partnership and TCI Falcon Holdings, LLC ("TCI") contributed
certain cable television systems owned and operated by affiliates of TCI (the
"TCI systems") to the Partnership (the "TCI Transaction"). In March 1999, AT&T
and Tele-Communications, Inc. completed a merger under which
Tele-Communications, Inc. became a unit of AT&T called AT&T Broadband & Internet
Services, which became the owner of TCI Falcon Holdings, LLC as a result of the
merger. As a result, AT&T Broadband and Internet Services holds approximately
46% of the equity interests of the Partnership and FHGLP holds the remaining 54%
and serves as the managing general partner of the Partnership. The TCI
Transaction has been accounted for as a recapitalization of FHGLP into the
Partnership and the concurrent acquisition by the Partnership of the TCI
systems.



     On May 26, 1999, the Partnership and Charter Communications ("Charter")
announced a definitive agreement in which Charter will acquire the Partnership
in a cash and stock transaction valued at approximately $3.6 billion. Closing of
the pending sale is subject to obtaining all necessary government approvals, and
is anticipated to take place in the fourth quarter of 1999.


NOTE 2 -- INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


     The interim financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and
1998 are unaudited. These condensed interim financial statements should be read
in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included
in the Partnership's latest Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of
management, such statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal
recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the results of such
periods. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 1999 are
not indicative of results for the entire year.



NOTE 3 -- REDEEMABLE PARTNERS' EQUITY



     Redeemable partners' equity has been adjusted as of June 30, 1999 based on
the estimated redemption value to be recognized from the pending sale to
Charter.



NOTE 4 -- EQUITY-BASED DEFERRED COMPENSATION



     In connection with the pending sale of the Partnership to Charter discussed
in Note 1, the Partnership recorded a non-cash charge of $42 million during the
three months ended June 30, 1999 related to both the 1993 Incentive Performance
Plan ($17.2 million) and the 1999 Employee Restricted Unit Plan ($24.8 million).
The amounts were determined based on the value of the underlying ownership
units, as established by the pending sale of the Partnership to Charter. $2.6
million of additional compensation related to the 1993 Incentive Performance
Plan was recorded in the three months ended March 31, 1999 based on management's
estimate of the increase in value of the underlying ownership interests since
December 31, 1998. Payments under the plans are subject to closing of the sale
to Charter, and will be paid from net sales

proceeds. The total deferred compensation of $44.6 million under these plans is
included in accrued expenses.



NOTE 5 -- ACQUISITIONS


     In March 1998, the Partnership acquired substantially all of the assets of
Falcon Classic Cable Income Properties, L.P. As discussed in Note 1, on
September 30, 1998 the Partnership acquired the TCI systems and the Falcon Video
systems in accordance with the Contribution Agreement. The following unaudited
condensed consolidated pro forma statement of operations presents the
consolidated results of operations of the Partnership as if the acquisitions had
occurred at January 1, 1998 and is not necessarily indicative of what would have
occurred had the acquisitions been made as of that date or of results which may
occur in the future.

     In January 1999, the Partnership acquired the assets of certain cable
systems located in Oregon for $800,700. The acquired systems serve approximately
591 customers, and are being operated as part of the Medford region. On March
15, 1999, the Partnership acquired the assets of certain cable systems located
in Utah for $6.8 million. This system serves approximately 7,928 customers and
is being operated as part of the St. George region. On March 22, 1999, the
Partnership acquired the assets of the Franklin, Virginia system in exchange for
the assets of its Scottsburg, Indiana systems and $8 million in cash and
recognized a gain of $8.3 million. The Franklin system serves approximately
9,042 customers and the Scottsburg systems served approximately 4,507 customers.
The effects of this transaction on results of operations are not material. On
July 30, 1999, the Partnership acquired the assets of certain cable systems
serving 6,500 customers located in Oregon for $9.5 million.



NOTE 6 -- RECENT DEVELOPMENTS



     On April 8, 1999, the Partnership announced that it had executed a term
sheet with regard to a joint venture to be formed called @Home Solutions, which
would offer turnkey, fully managed and comprehensive high speed Internet access
to cable operators serving small to medium-sized communities, including the
Partnership. In connection with the sale of the Partnership to Charter as
discussed in Note 1, the Partnership withdrew from the @Home Solutions joint
venture and reimbursed @Home Solutions $500,000 for costs incurred.



NOTE 7 -- SALE OF SYSTEMS


     On March 1, 1999, the Partnership contributed $2.4 million cash and certain
systems located in Oregon with a net book value of $5.6 million to a joint
venture with Bend Cable Communications, Inc., who manages the joint venture. The
Partnership owns 17% of the joint venture. These systems had been acquired from
Falcon Classic in March 1998, and served approximately 3,471 subscribers at
March 1, 1999.

     On March 26, 1999, the Partnership sold certain systems serving
approximately 2,550 subscribers in Kansas for $3.2 million and recognized a gain
of $2.5 million.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

The Board of Directors
Tele-Communications, Inc.:

     We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of the TCI Falcon
Systems (as defined in Note 1 to the combined financial statements) as of
September 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997, and the related combined statements of
operations and parent's investment, and cash flows for the nine-month period
ended September 30, 1998 and for each of the years in the two-year period ended
December 31, 1997. These combined financial statements are the responsibility of
the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
combined financial statements based on our audits.

     We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. 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 combined financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the TCI Falcon
Systems as of September 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for the nine-month period ended September 30,
1998 and for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 1997,
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

            (A COMBINATION OF CERTAIN ASSETS, AS DEFINED IN NOTE 1)

                     NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
           FOR THE PERIOD FROM JANUARY 1, 1998 TO SEPTEMBER 30, 1998,
               AND FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997 AND 1996

(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The combined financial statements include the accounts of thirteen of TCI's
cable television systems serving certain subscribers within Oregon, Washington,
Alabama, Missouri and California (collectively, the "TCI Falcon Systems"). This
combination was created in connection with the Partnership formation discussed
below. The TCI Falcon Systems were indirectly wholly-owned by TCI in all periods
presented herein up to the date of the Contribution, as defined below. All
significant inter-entity accounts and transactions have been eliminated in
combination. The combined net assets of the TCI Falcon Systems including amounts
due to TCI are referred to as "Parent's Investment".

     TCI's ownership interests in the TCI Falcon Systems, as described above,
were acquired through transactions wherein TCI acquired various larger cable
entities (the "Original Systems"). The TCI Falcon System's combined financial
statements include an allocation of the purchase price and certain purchase
accounting adjustments, including the related deferred tax effects, from TCI's
acquisition of the Original Systems. Such allocation and the related franchise
cost amortization was based on the relative fair market value of the systems
acquired. In addition, certain costs of TCI are charged to the TCI Falcon
Systems based on their number of customers (see note 5). Although such
allocations are not necessarily indicative of the costs that would have been
incurred by the TCI Falcon Systems on a stand alone basis, management believes
that the resulting allocated amounts are reasonable.

  Partnership Formation

     On September 30, 1998, TCI and Falcon Holding Group, LP ("Falcon") closed a
transaction under a Contribution and Purchase Agreement (the "Contribution"),
whereby TCI contributed the TCI Falcon Systems to a newly formed partnership
(the "Partnership") between TCI and Falcon in exchange for an approximate 46%
ownership interest in the Partnership. The accompanying combined financial
statements reflect the position, results of operations and cash flows of the TCI
Falcon Systems immediately prior to the Contribution, and, therefore, do not
include the effects of such Contribution.

(2) ACQUISITION

     On January 1, 1998, a subsidiary of TCI acquired certain cable television
assets in and around Ellensburg, WA from King Videocable Company. On the same
date, these assets were transferred to the TCI Falcon Systems. As a result of
these transactions, the TCI Falcon Systems recorded non-cash increases in
property and equipment of $2,100,000, in franchise costs of $4,923,000, and in
parent's investment of $7,023,000. Assuming the acquisition had occurred on
January 1, 1997, the TCI Falcon Systems' pro forma results of operations would
not have been materially different from the results of operations for the year
ended December 31, 1997.

(3) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

  Receivables

     Receivables are reflected net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. Such
allowance at September 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997 was not significant.

             NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

  Property and Equipment

     Property and equipment are stated at cost, including acquisition costs
allocated to tangible assets acquired. Construction costs, labor and applicable
overhead related to installations, and interest during construction are
capitalized. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 1998 and for the
years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, interest capitalized was not
significant.

     Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis using estimated useful
lives of 3 to 15 years for distribution systems and 3 to 40 years for support
equipment and buildings.

     Repairs and maintenance are charged to operations, and renewals and
additions are capitalized. At the time of ordinary retirements, sales or other
dispositions of property, the original cost and cost of removal of such property
are charged to accumulated depreciation, and salvage, if any, is credited
thereto. Gains or losses are only recognized in connection with the sales of
properties in their entirety.

  Franchise Costs

     Franchise costs include the difference between the cost of acquiring cable
television systems and amounts assigned to their tangible assets. Such amounts
are generally amortized on a straight-line basis over 40 years. Costs incurred
by the TCI Falcon Systems in negotiating and renewing franchise agreements are
amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the franchise, generally 10
to 20 years.

  Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

     Management periodically reviews the carrying amounts of property, plant and
equipment and its intangible assets to determine whether current events or
circumstances warrant adjustments to such carrying amounts. If an impairment
adjustment is deemed necessary based on an analysis of undiscounted cash flows,
such loss is measured by the amount that the carrying value of such assets
exceeds their fair value. Considerable management judgment is necessary to
estimate the fair value of assets, accordingly, actual results could vary
significantly from such estimates. Assets to be disposed of are carried at the
lower of their financial statement carrying amount or fair value less costs to
sell.

  Revenue Recognition

     Cable revenue for customer fees, equipment rental, advertising, and
pay-per-view programming is recognized in the period that services are
delivered. Installation revenue is recognized in the period the installation
services are provided to the extent of direct selling costs. Any remaining
amount is deferred and recognized over the estimated average period that
customers are expected to remain connected to the cable television system.

  Combined Statements of Cash Flows

     Transactions effected through the intercompany account with TCI (except for
the acquisition and dividend discussed in notes 2 and 5, respectively) have been
considered constructive cash receipts and payments for purposes of the combined
statements of cash flows.

             NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

  Estimates

     The preparation of combined financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at
the date of the combined financial statements and the reported amounts of
revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.

  Reclassifications

     Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for comparability with
the 1998 presentation.

(4) INCOME TAXES

     The TCI Falcon Systems were included in the consolidated federal income tax
return of TCI. Income tax expense for the TCI Falcon Systems is based on those
items in the consolidated calculation applicable to the TCI Falcon Systems.
Intercompany tax allocation represents an apportionment of tax expense or
benefit (other than deferred taxes) among subsidiaries of TCI in relation to
their respective amounts of taxable earnings or losses. The payable or
receivable arising from the intercompany tax allocation is recorded as an
increase or decrease in amounts due to TCI. Deferred income taxes are based on
the book and tax basis differences of the assets and liabilities within the TCI
Falcon Systems. The income tax amounts included in the accompanying combined
financial statements approximate the amounts that would have been reported if
the TCI Falcon Systems had filed a separate income tax return.

     Income tax expense for the nine-month period ended September 30, 1998 and
for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996 consists of:

     The amount due to TCI represents advances for operations, acquisitions and
construction costs, as well as, the amounts owed as a result of the allocation
of certain costs from TCI. TCI charges intercompany interest expense at variable
rates to cable systems within the TCI Falcon Systems based upon amounts due to
TCI from the cable systems. Such amounts are due on demand.

             NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

     On August 15, 1998, TCI caused the TCI Falcon Systems to effect
distributions from the TCI Falcon Systems to TCI aggregating $429,739,000 (the
"Dividend"). The Dividend resulted in a non-cash increase to the intercompany
amounts owed to TCI and a corresponding non-cash decrease to retained earnings.

     As a result of TCI's ownership of 100% of the TCI Falcon Systems prior to
the Contribution, the amounts due to TCI have been classified as a component of
parent's investment in the accompanying combined financial statements.

     The TCI Falcon Systems purchase, at TCI's cost, substantially all of their
pay television and other programming from affiliates of TCI. Charges for such
programming were $21,479,000, $25,500,000 and $20,248,000 for the nine months
ended September 30, 1998 and the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996,
respectively, and are included in operating expenses in the accompanying
combined financial statements.

     Certain subsidiaries of TCI provide administrative services to the TCI
Falcon Systems and have assumed managerial responsibility of the TCI Falcon
Systems' cable television system operations and construction. As compensation
for these services, the TCI Falcon Systems pay a monthly fee calculated on a
per-customer basis.

     The intercompany advances and expense allocation activity in amounts due to
TCI consists of the following:

(6) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

     The Cable Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992 (the
"1992 Cable Act") imposed certain rate regulations on the cable television
industry. Under the 1992 Cable Act, all cable systems are subject to rate
regulation, unless they face "effective competition," as defined by the 1992
Cable Act and expanded in the Telecommunications Act of 1996 (the "1996 Act"),
in their local franchise area.

     Although the Federal Communications Commission (the "FCC") has established
regulations required by the 1992 Cable Act, local government units (commonly
referred to as local franchising authorities) are primarily responsible for
administering the regulation of a cable system's basic service tier ("BST"). The
FCC itself directly administered rate regulation of any

                                      F-446
<PAGE>   616

            (A COMBINATION OF CERTAIN ASSETS, AS DEFINED IN NOTE 1)

             NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

cable programming service tier ("CPST"). The FCC's authority to regulate CPST
rates expired on March 31, 1999. The FCC has taken the position that it will
still adjudicate CPST complaints filed after this sunset date (but no later than
180 days after the last CPST rate increase imposed prior to March 31, 1999), and
will strictly limit its review (and possible refund orders) to the time period
predating the sunset date.

     Under the FCC's rate regulations, most cable systems were required to
reduce their BST and CPST rates in 1993 and 1994, and have since had their rate
increases governed by a complicated price structure that allows for the recovery
of inflation and certain increased costs, as well as providing some incentive
for expanding channel carriage. Operators also have the opportunity to bypass
this "benchmark" regulatory structure in favor of the traditional "cost-of-
service" regulation in cases where the latter methodology appears favorable.
Premium cable services offered on a per-channel or per-program basis remain
unregulated, as do affirmatively marketed packages consisting entirely of new
programming product.

     The management of the TCI Falcon Systems believes that it has complied in
all material respects with the provisions of the 1992 Cable Act and the 1996
Act, including its rate setting provisions. If, as a result of the review
process, a system cannot substantiate its rates, it could be required to
retroactively reduce its rates to the appropriate benchmark and refund the
excess portion of rates received. Any refunds of the excess portion of CPST
rates would be retroactive to the date of complaint. Any refunds of the excess
portion of BST or equipment rates would be retroactive to one year prior to the
implementation of the rate reductions.

     Certain plaintiffs have filed or threatened separate class action
complaints against certain of the systems of TCI Falcon Systems, alleging that
the systems' practice of assessing an administrative fee to customers whose
payments are delinquent constitutes an invalid liquidated damage provision, a
breach of contract, and violates local consumer protection statutes. Plaintiffs
seek recovery of all late fees paid to the subject systems as a class purporting
to consist of all customers who were assessed such fees during the applicable
limitation period, plus attorney fees and costs.

     The TCI Falcon Systems have contingent liabilities related to legal
proceedings and other matters arising in the ordinary course of business.
Although it is possible the TCI Falcon Systems may incur losses upon conclusion
of the matters referred to above, an estimate of any loss or range of loss
cannot presently be made. Based upon the facts available, management believes
that, although no assurance can be given as to the outcome of these actions, the
ultimate disposition should not have a material adverse effect upon the combined
financial condition of the TCI Falcon Systems.

     The TCI Falcon Systems lease business offices, have entered into pole
rental agreements and use certain equipment under lease arrangements. Rental
expense under such arrangements amounted to $1,268,000, $1,868,000 and
$1,370,000 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 1998, and the years
ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

     TCI formed a year 2000 Program Management Office (the "PMO") to organize
and manage its year 2000 remediation efforts. The PMO is responsible for
overseeing, coordinating and reporting on TCI's year 2000 remediation efforts,
including the year 2000 remediation efforts of the TCI Falcon Systems prior to
the Contribution. Subsequent to the date of the Contribution, the year 2000
remediation efforts of the TCI Falcon Systems are no longer the responsibility
of TCI or the PMO.

     The failure to correct a material year 2000 problem could result in an
interruption or failure of certain important business operations. There can be
no assurance that the TCI Falcon Systems or the systems of other companies on
which the TCI Falcon Systems relies will be converted in time or that any such
failure to convert by the TCI Falcon Systems or other companies will not have a
material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.

                         REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

The Management Committee
  TWFanch-one Co. and TWFanch-two Co.

     We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of Fanch Cable
Systems (comprised of components of TWFanch-one Co. and TWFanch-two Co.), as of
December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the related combined statements of operations,
net assets and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements
are the responsibility of Fanch Cable System's management. Our responsibility is
to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

     We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. 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 combined financial position of Fanch Cable Systems
at December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the combined results of its operations and
its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

                     NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               DECEMBER 31, 1998

1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

ACQUISITION BY CHARTER COMMUNICATIONS, INC. AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION


     TWFanch-one Co.  and TWFanch-two Co. (collectively the "Partnerships"),
both of which are Delaware general partnerships, are affiliated through common
control and management. Pursuant to a purchase agreement, dated May 12, 1999
between certain partners of TWFanch-one Co. and TWFanch-two Co. and Charter
Communications, Inc. ("Charter"), the partners of the Partnerships entered into
a distribution agreement whereby the Partnerships will distribute and/or sell
certain of their cable systems ("Combined Systems") to certain of their
respective partners. These partners will then sell the Combined Systems through
a combination of asset sales and the sale of equity and partnership interests to
Charter. The Combined Systems may have some liabilities related to refunds of
programming launch credits that are due at the date of the acquisition by
Charter. The refund of these credits is contingent upon the acquisition by
Charter occurring and the amount will vary based upon the actual sale date.


     Accordingly, these combined financial statements of the Combined Systems
reflect the "carved out" historical financial position, results of operations,
cash flows and changes in net assets of the operations of the Combined Systems
as if they had been operating as a separate company. For purposes of determining
the financial statement amounts of the Combined Systems, management excluded
certain systems (the "Excluded Systems). In order to exclude the results of
operations and financial position of the Excluded Systems from the combined
financial statements, management has estimated certain revenues, expenses,
assets and liabilities that are not specifically identified to systems based on
the ratio of each Excluded System's basic subscribers to the total basic
subscribers served by the respective partnerships. Management believes the basis
used for these allocations is reasonable. The Combined Systems' results of
operations are not necessarily indicative of future operating results or the
results that would have occurred if the Combined Systems were a separate legal
entity.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

     The Combined Systems, operating in various states throughout the United
States, are principally engaged in operating cable television systems and
related activities under non-exclusive franchise agreements.

PRINCIPLES OF COMBINATION

     The accompanying combined financial statements include the accounts of the
Combined Systems, as if the Combined Systems were a single company. All material
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

CASH, INTERCOMPANY ACCOUNTS AND DEBT

     Under the Partnerships' centralized cash management system, the cash
requirements of its individual operating units were generally provided directly
by the Partnerships and the cash generated or used by the Combined Systems was
transferred to/from the Partnerships, as appropriate, through the use of
intercompany accounts. The resulting intercompany account balances between the

Combined Systems' net distributions to partners in the combined statements of
cash flows. The Partnerships maintain external debt to fund and manage
operations on a centralized basis. Debt, unamortized loan costs and interest
expense of the Partnerships have not been allocated to the Combined Systems. As
such, the debt, unamortized loan costs, and related interest are not
representative of the debt that would be required or interest expense incurred
if the Combined Systems were a separate legal entity.

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

     The Combined Systems record additions to property, plant and equipment at
cost, which in the case of assets constructed includes amounts for material,
labor and overhead. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.

     For financial reporting purposes, the Combined Systems use the
straight-line method of depreciation over the estimated useful lives of the
assets as follows:

<TABLE>
<S>                                                           <C>

</TABLE>

INCOME TAXES

     The Partnerships as entities pay no income taxes, except for an immaterial
amount in Michigan. No provision or benefit for income taxes is reported by any
of the Combined Systems because the Combined Systems are currently owned by
various partnerships and, as such, the tax effects of the Combined Systems'
results of operations accrue to the partners.

USE OF ESTIMATES

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
disclosures made in the accompanying notes to the financial statements. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

     The Combined Systems recognize revenue when services have been delivered.
Revenues on long-term contracts are recognized over the term of the contract
using the straight-line method.

INTANGIBLES

     Intangibles are recorded at cost and are amortized on a straight-line basis
over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives are as follows:

<TABLE>

</TABLE>

     The estimated useful life of goodwill was changed from 10 years in 1997 to
20 years effective January 1, 1998 to better match the amortization period to
anticipated economic lives of

the franchises and to better reflect industry practice. This change in estimate
resulted in an increase in net income of approximately $20 million for the year
ended December 31, 1998.

     Amortization expense was $23,519,373 and $43,094,595 for the years ended
December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

3.  DISPOSAL OF ASSETS

     During 1998 and 1997, a loss on disposal of assets was recognized on plant
that was replaced to technically upgrade the system and for other operational
purposes. The loss on the disposal of assets is summarized as follows:

4.  PURCHASE AND SALE OF SYSTEMS

     On March 30, 1997, the Combined Systems acquired cable television systems,
including plant, franchise license and business license, serving communities in
the states of Pennsylvania and Virginia. The purchase price was $1,400,000, of
which $765,000 was allocated to property, plant and equipment and $635,000 was
allocated to intangible assets.

     Concurrent with the purchase of the systems in Pennsylvania on March 30,
1997, the Combined Systems sold certain of these assets, including plant,
franchise and business license, for $340,000. No gain or loss on this
transaction was recorded.

     The above acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of
accounting, and accordingly, results of operations of the acquired assets have
been included in the financial statements from the dates of acquisition.

5.  RELATED PARTIES

     The Partnerships have entered into a management agreement with an entity
(the "Manager") whose sole stockholder is affiliated with several of the
Partnerships' general partners. The Partnerships also entered into a management
agreement with another of the Partnerships' general partners (the "General
Partner"). The agreements provide that the Manager and General Partner will
manage their respective systems and receive annual compensation equal to 2.5% of
the gross revenues from operations for their respective systems. Management fees
for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997 were $3,170,784 and $3,012,943,
respectively.

     A company affiliated with the Manager provides subscriber billing services
for a portion of the Combined Systems' subscribers. The Combined Systems
incurred fees for monthly billing and related services in the approximate
amounts of $308,943 and $307,368 for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997,
respectively.

             NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

     The Combined Systems purchase the majority of its programming through the
Partnerships' General Partner. Fees incurred for programming were approximately
$24,600,000 and $22,200,000 for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997,
respectively.

     The Manager and General Partner pay amounts on behalf of and receive
amounts from the Combined Systems in the ordinary course of business. Accounts
receivable and payable of the Combined Systems include amounts due from and due
to the Manager and General Partner.

6.  COMMITMENTS

     The Combined Systems, as an integral part of its cable operations, has
entered into lease contracts for certain items including tower rental, microwave
service and office space. Rent expense, including office, tower and pole rent,
for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997 was approximately $2,326,328 and
$2,154,961, respectively. The majority of these agreements are on month-to-month
arrangements and, accordingly, the Combined Systems has no material future
minimum commitments related to these leases.

7.  EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN

     TWFanch-one Co. and TWFanch-two Co. each have a defined contribution plan
(the Plan) which qualifies under section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code.
Therefore, each system of the Combined Systems participates in the respective
plan. Combined Systems contributions were approximately $342,067 and $288,493
for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

8.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

     On July 8, 1998, the Combined Systems entered into an Asset Purchase
Agreement to acquire cable television systems, including plant, franchise
license and business license, serving communities in the states of Maryland,
Ohio and West Virginia. The purchase price was $248,000,000, subject to purchase
price adjustments. The transaction was completed and the assets were transferred
to the Combined Systems on February 24, 1999.

     On June 12, 1998, the Combined Systems entered into an agreement to acquire
cable television systems, including plant, franchise licenses, and business
licenses serving communities in the state of Michigan. The purchase price was
$42,000,000, subject to purchase price adjustments. In connection with the
agreement, the Combined Systems received an additional $8.76 million in capital
contributions. The agreement was completed and the assets were transferred to
the Combined Systems on February 1, 1999.

     On January 15, 1999 the Combined Systems entered into an agreement to
acquire cable television systems, including plant, franchise licenses, and
business licenses serving communities in the state of Michigan from a related
party. The purchase price was $70 million, subject to purchase price
adjustments. The agreement was completed and the assets were transferred to the
Combined Systems on March 31, 1999. In connection with the agreement, the
Combined Systems received an additional $25 million in capital contributions
under a new TWFanch-two partnership agreement.

     On May 12, 1999, the Combined Systems entered into an agreement to acquire
the stock of ARH, Ltd. ARH, Ltd. is engaged in the business of owning and
operating cable television systems in Texas and West Virginia. The purchase
price was $50,000,000 subject to purchase price

adjustments. The transaction was completed and the assets were transferred to
the Combined Systems on June 22, 1999.

     Unaudited pro forma operating results as though the acquisitions discussed
above had occurred on January 1, 1998, with adjustments to give effect to
amortization of franchises and certain other adjustments for the year ended
December 31, 1998 is as follows:

The unaudited pro forma information has been presented for comparative purposes
and does not purport to be indicative of the results of operations had these
transactions been complete as of the assumed date or which may be obtained in
the future.

9.  YEAR 2000 (UNAUDITED)

     The Year 2000 issue is the result of computer programs being written using
two digits rather than four to define the applicable year. Any of the Combined
Systems' computer programs or hardware that have date-sensitive software or
embedded chips may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the
year 2000. This could result in a system failure or miscalculations causing
disruptions of operations, including, among other things, a temporary inability
to process transactions, send invoices, or engage in similar normal business
activities.

     Based on recent assessments, the Combined Systems determined that it will
be required to modify or replace portions of its software and certain hardware
so that those systems will properly utilize dates beyond December 31, 1999. The
Combined Systems presently believe that with modifications or replacements of
existing software and certain hardware, the Year 2000 issue can be mitigated.
However, if such modifications and replacements are not made, or are not
completed timely, the Year 2000 issue could have a material impact on the
operations of the Combined Systems. The Combined Systems believe any cost for
the necessary modification or replacement will not be material to the Combined
Systems' operations.

     The Combined Systems have queried its significant suppliers and
subcontractors that do not share information systems with the Combined Systems
(external agents). To date, the Combined Systems are aware of external agents
with Year 2000 issues that would materially impact the Combined Systems' results
of operations, liquidity or capital resources, if these issues are not
addressed. Such agents have represented that they are in the process of
addressing these issues and expect to have these issues materially resolved by
December 31, 1999. However, the Combined Systems have no means of ensuring that
external agents will be Year 2000 ready. The inability of external agents to
complete their Year 2000 resolution process in a timely fashion could materially
impact the Combined Systems. The effect of noncompliance by external agents is
not determinable.

     Management of the Combined Systems believes it has an effective program in
place to resolve material Year 2000 issues in a timely manner. The Combined
Systems have contingency plans for certain critical applications and are working
on such plans for others.

1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

ACQUISITION BY CHARTER COMMUNICATIONS, INC. AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     TWFanch-one Co. and TWFanch-two Co. (collectively the "Partnerships"), both
of which are Delaware general partnerships, are affiliated through common
control and management. Pursuant to a purchase agreement, dated May 21, 1999
between certain partners of TWFanch-one Co. and TWFanch-two Co. and Charter
Communications, Inc. ("Charter"), the partners of the Partnership entered into a
distribution agreement whereby the partnerships will distribute and/or sell
certain of their cable systems ("Combined Systems") to certain of their
respective partners. These partners will then sell the Combined Systems through
a combination of asset sales and sale of equity and partnership interests to
Charter.

     Accordingly, these combined financial statements of the Combined Systems
reflect "carved out" historical financial position, results of operations, cash
flows and changes in net assets of the operations of the Combined Systems as if
they had been operating as a separate company. For purposes of determining the
financial statement amounts of the Combined Systems, management excluded certain
systems (the "Excluded Systems"). In order to exclude the results of operations
and financial position of the Excluded Systems from the combined financial
statements, management has estimated certain revenues, expenses, assets and
liabilities that are not specifically identified to systems based on the ratio
of each Excluded System's basic subscribers to the total basic subscribers
served by the respective partnerships. Management believes the basis used for
these allocations is reasonable. The Combined Systems' results of operations are
not necessarily indicative of future operating results or the results that would
have occurred if the Combined Systems were a separate legal entity.


     The accompanying combined financial statements as of and for the periods
ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 are unaudited. However, in the opinion of
management, the financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of
normal recurring adjustments, necessary for fair presentation in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles applicable to interim periods. Interim
results of operations are not indicative of results for the full year. The
accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited
combined financial statements of Fanch Cable Systems (comprised of components of
TWFanch-one Co. and TWFanch-two Co.).


DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

     The Combined Systems, operating in various states throughout the United
States, are principally engaged in operating cable television systems and
related activities under non-exclusive franchise agreements.

PRINCIPLES OF COMBINATION

     The accompanying combined financial statements include the accounts of the
Combined Systems, as if the Combined Systems were a single company. All material
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

CASH, INTERCOMPANY ACCOUNTS AND DEBT

     Under the Partnerships' centralized cash management system, cash
requirements of its individual operating units were generally provided directly
by the Partnerships and the cash

             NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

generated or used by the Combined Systems was transferred to/from the
Partnerships, as appropriate, through the intercompany accounts. The
intercompany account balances between the Partnerships and the Combined Systems
are not intended to be settled. Accordingly, the balances are excluded/included
in net assets and all the cash generated from operations, investing activities
and financing activities have been included in the Combined Systems' net
distributions from/to partners in the combined statements of cash flows. The
Partnerships maintain all external debt to fund and manage operations on a
centralized basis. Debt, unamortized loan costs and interest expense of the
Partnerships have not been allocated to the Combined Systems. As such debt,
unamortized loan costs, and related interest expense are not representative of
the debt that would be required or interest expense incurred if the Combined
Systems were a separate legal entity.

2.  ACQUISITIONS


     On May 12, 1999, the Combined Systems entered into an agreement to acquire

cable television systems, including plant, franchise license, and business

the Combined Systems received an additional $8.76 million in capital

     On July 8, 1998, the Combined Systems entered into an Asset Purchase

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                 JUNE 30, 1999

                                  (UNAUDITED)
                                 (IN THOUSANDS)

(1) FORMATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     Bresnan Communications Group, LLC and its subsidiaries ("BCG" or the
"Company") are wholly owned by Bresnan Communications Company Limited
Partnership, a Michigan limited partnership ("BCCLP"), is a Delaware limited
liability corporation formed on August 5, 1998 for the purpose of acting as
co-issuer with its wholly-owned subsidiary, Bresnan Capital Corporation ("BCC"),
of $170,000 aggregate principal amount at maturity of 8% Senior Notes and
$275,000 aggregate principal amount at maturity of 9.25% Senior Discount Notes,
both due in 2009 (collectively the "Notes"). Prior to the issuance of the Notes
on February 2, 1999, BCCLP completed the terms of a contribution agreement dated
June 3, 1998, as amended, whereby certain affiliates of Tele-Communications,
Inc. ("TCI") contributed certain cable television systems along with assumed TCI
debt of approximately $708,854 to BCCLP. In addition, Blackstone BC Capital
Partners LP and affiliates contributed $136,500 to BCCLP. Upon completion of the
Notes offering on February 2, 1999 BCCLP contributed all of its assets and
liabilities to BCG, which simultaneously formed a wholly owned subsidiary,
Bresnan Telecommunications Company LLC ("BTC"), into which it contributed all of
its assets and liabilities. The above noted contributed assets and liabilities
were accounted for at predecessor cost because of the common ownership and
control of TCI and have been reflected in the accompanying financial statements
in a manner similar to a pooling of interests.

     The Company owns and operates cable television systems in small- and
medium-sized communities in the midwestern United States.


     The accompany interim consolidated financial statements are unaudited but,
in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the results of such
periods. The results of operations for the period ended June 30, 1999 are not
necessarily indicative of results for a full year. These consolidated financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the combined financial statements
and notes thereto of the predecessor to the Company contained in the Bresnan
Communications Group Systems financial statements for the year ended December
31, 1998.


     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

(2) ACQUISITIONS AND SYSTEM DISPOSITIONS

     In February 1998, the Company acquired certain cable television assets
located in Michigan which were accounted for under the purchase method. The
purchase price was allocated to the cable television assets acquired in relation
to their fair values as increase in property and equipment of $3,703 and
franchise costs of $12,797. In addition, the Company acquired two additional
systems in the first quarter of 1999 which were accounted for under the purchase
method. The purchase price was allocated to the cable televisions assets
acquired in relation to their estimated fair values as increase in property and
equipment of $22,200 and franchise costs of $44,600.

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

                                 JUNE 30, 1999

                                 (IN THOUSANDS)

     The results of these operations of these cable television systems have been
included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations from their
dates of acquisition. Pro forma information has not been presented because the
effect was not significant.


     The Company also disposed of cable television systems during 1998 and 1999
for gross proceeds of $12,000 and $4,400, respectively and resulting in gain
(loss) on cable television systems of $7,010 and $(181) for 1998 and 1999,
respectively. The results of operations of these cable television systems
through the date of the disposition and the gain (loss) from the dispositions
have been included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. As
part of one of the dispositions, the Company received cash that was restricted
to reinvestment in additional cable television systems.


(3) DEBT

     Debt is summarized as follows:

                                                                $846,364
                                                                ========

---------------

(a) The Senior Credit Facility represents borrowings under a $650,000 senior
    reducing revolving credit and term loan facilities (the "Credit Facility")
    as documented in the loan agreement as of February 2, 1999. The Credit
    Facility calls for a current available commitment of $650,000 of which
    $500,000 is outstanding at June 30, 1999. The Credit Facility provides for
    three tranches, a revolving loan tranche for $150,000 (the "Revolving
    Loan"), a term loan tranche of $328,000 (the "A Term Loan" and together with
    the Revolving Loan, "Facility A") and a term loan tranche of $172,000 (the
    "Facility B").


    The commitments under the New Credit Facility will reduce commencing with
    the quarter ending March 31, 2002. Facility A permanently reduces in
    quarterly amounts ranging from 2.5% to 6.25% of the Facility A amount
    starting March 31, 2002 and matures approximately eight and one half years
    after February 2, 1999. Facility B is also to be repaid in quarterly
    installments of .25% of the Facility B amount beginning in March 2002 and
    matures approximately nine years after February 2, 1999, on which date all
    remaining amounts of Facility B will be due and payable. Additional
    reductions of the New Credit Facility will also be required upon certain
    asset sales, subject to the right of the Company and its subsidiaries to
    reinvest asset sale proceeds under certain circumstances. The interest rate
    options include a LIBOR option and a Prime Rate option plus applicable
    margin rates based on the Company's total leverage ratio. In addition, the
    Company is required to pay a commitment fee on the unused revolver portion
    of Facility A which will accrue at a rate ranging from .25% to .375% per
    annum, depending on the Company's total leverage ratio.


    The rate applicable to balances outstanding at June 30, 1999 ranged from
    7.00% to 7.85%. Covenants of the Credit Facility require, among other
    conditions the maintenance of specific levels of the ratio of cash flows to
    future debt and interest expense and certain limitations on additional
    investments, indebtedness, capital expenditures, asset sales and affiliate
    transactions.

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

                                 JUNE 30, 1999

                                  (UNAUDITED)
                                 (IN THOUSANDS)

(b) On February 2, 1999, the Company sold $170,000 aggregate principal amount
    senior notes payable (the "Senior Notes"). In addition, on the same date,
    the Company issued $275,000 aggregate principal amount at maturity of senior
    discount notes, (the "Senior Discount Notes") for approximately $175,000
    gross proceeds collectively (the "Notes").

     The Senior Notes are unsecured and will mature on February 1, 2009. The
     Senior Notes bear interest at 8% per annum payable semi-annually on
     February 1 and August 1 of each year, commencing August 1, 1999.

     The Senior Discount Notes are unsecured and will mature on February 1,
     2009. The Senior Discount Notes were issued at a discount to their
     aggregate principal amount at maturity and will accrete at a rate of
     approximately 9.25% per annum, compounded semi-annually, to an aggregate
     principal amount of $275,000 on February 1, 2004. Subsequent to February 1,
     2004, the Senior Discount Notes will bear interest at a rate of 9.25% per
     annum payable semi-annually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each
     year, commencing August 1, 2004.

     The Company may elect, upon not less than 60 days prior notice, to commence
     the accrual of interest on all outstanding Senior Discount Notes on or
     after February 1, 2002, in which case the outstanding principal amount at
     maturity of each Senior Discount Note will on such commencement date be
     reduced to the accreted value of such Senior Discount Note as of such date
     and interest shall be payable with respect to the Senior Discount Notes on
     each February and August 1 thereafter.

     The Company may not redeem the Notes prior to February 1, 2004 except that
     prior to February 1, 2002, the Company may redeem up to 35% of the Senior
     Notes and Senior Discount Notes at redemption prices equal to 108% and 109%
     of the applicable principal amount or accreted value. Subsequent to
     February 1, 2004, the Company may redeem the Notes at redemption prices
     declining annually from approximately 104% of the principal amount or
     accreted value.

     Bresnan Communications Group LLC and its wholly owned subsidiary Bresnan
     Capital Corporation are the sole obligors of the Senior Notes and Senior
     Discount Notes. Bresnan Communications Group LLC has no other assets or
     liabilities other than its investment in its wholly owned subsidiary
     Bresnan Telecommunications Company LLC. Bresnan Capital Corporation has no
     other assets or liabilities.

     Upon change of control of the Company, the holders of the notes have the
     right to require the Company to purchase the outstanding notes at a price
     equal to 101% of the principal amount or accrete value plus accrued and
     unpaid interest.

     BCG has entered into an interest rate swap agreement to effectively fix or
     set a maximum interest rate on a portion of its floating rate long-term
     debt. BCG is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the
     counterparties to the interest rate swap agreement.


     At June 30, 1999, such Interest Rate Swap agreement effectively fixed or
     set a maximum libor base interest rate between 5.84% and 8.08% on an
     aggregate notional principal amount of $110,000 which rate would become
     effective upon the occurrence of certain events. The effect of the Interest
     Rate Swap on interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and
     1999 was not significant. The expiration dates of the Interest Rate Swaps
     ranges from August 25, 1999 to April 3, 2000. The difference between the
     fair market value and book value of long-term debt and the Interest Rate
     Swap at June 30, 1998 and 1999 is not significant.

(4) TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES


     BCG and its predecessor purchased, at TCI's cost, substantially all of its
pay television and other programming from affiliates of TCI. Charges for such
programming were $28,118 and $30,809 for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and
1999, respectively, and are included in programming expenses in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements.



     Prior to February 2, 1999, certain affiliates of the predecessor to BCG
provided administrative services to BCG and assumed managerial responsibility of
BCG's cable television system operations and construction. As compensation for
these services, BCG paid a monthly fee calculated pursuant to certain agreed
upon formulas. Subsequent to the TCI Transaction on February 2, 1999, certain
affiliates of BCG provide administrative services and have assumed managerial
responsibilities of BCG. As compensation for these services, BCG pays a monthly
fee equal to 3% of gross revenues. Such aggregate charges totaled $5,961 and
$5,040 and have been included in selling, general and administrative expenses
for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1999, respectively.


(5) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

     The Cable Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992 (the
"1992 Cable Act") imposed certain rate regulations on the cable television
industry. Under the 1992 Cable Act, all cable systems are subject to rate
regulation, unless they face "effective competition," as defined by the 1992
Cable Act and expanded in the Telecommunications Act of 1996 (the "1996 Act"),
in their local franchise area.

     Although the Federal Communications Commission (the "FCC") has established
regulations required by the 1992 Cable Act, local government units (commonly
referred to as local franchising authorities) are primarily responsible for
administering the regulation of a cable system's basic service tier ("BST"). The
FCC itself directly administered rate regulation of any cable programming
service tier ("CPST"). The FCC's authority to regulate CPST rates expired on
March 31, 1999. The FCC has taken the position that it will still adjudicate
CPST complaints filed after this sunset date (but no later than 180 days after
the last CPST rate increase imposed prior to March 31, 1999), and will strictly
limit its review (and possible refund orders) to the time period predating the
sunset date.

     Under the FCC's rate regulations, most cable systems were required to
reduce their BST and CPST rates in 1993 and 1994, and have since had their rate
increases governed by a complicated price structure that allows for the recovery
of inflation and certain increased costs, as well as providing some incentive
for expanding channel carriage. Operators also have the opportunity to bypass
this "benchmark" regulatory structure in favor of the traditional "cost-of-
service" regulation in cases where the latter methodology appears favorable.
Premium cable service offered on a per-channel or per-program basis remain
unregulated, as do affirmatively marketed packages consisting entirely of new
programming product.

     The management of BCG believes that it has complied in all material
respects with the provisions of the 1992 Cable Act and the 1996 Act, including
its rate setting provisions. If, as a result of the review process, a system
cannot substantiate its rates, it could be required to retroactively reduce its
rates to the appropriate benchmark and refund the excess portion of rates
received. Any refunds of the excess portion of CPST rates would be retroactive
to the date

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

                                 JUNE 30, 1999

                                  (UNAUDITED)
                                 (IN THOUSANDS)

of complaint. Any refunds of the excess portion of BST or equipment rates would
be retroactive to one year prior to the implementation of the rate reductions.

     Certain plaintiffs have filed or threatened separate class action
complaints against certain of the systems of BCG, alleging that the systems'
practice of assessing an administrative fee to subscribers whose payments are
delinquent constitutes an invalid liquidated damage provision, a breach of
contract, and violates local consumer protection statutes. Plaintiffs seek
recovery of all late fees paid to the subject systems as a class purporting to
consist of all subscribers who were assessed such fees during the applicable
limitation period, plus attorney fees and costs.

     BCG has contingent liabilities related to legal proceedings and other
matters arising in the ordinary course of business. Although it is possible that
BCG may incur losses upon conclusion of the matters referred to above, an
estimate of any loss or range of loss cannot presently be made. Based upon the
facts available, management believes that, although no assurance can be given as
to the outcome of these actions, the ultimate disposition should not have
material adverse effect upon the combined financial condition of BCG.


     BCG leases business offices, has entered into pole attachment agreements
and uses certain equipment under lease arrangements. Rental expense under such
arrangements amounted to $1,582 and $1,691 during the six months ended June 30,
1998 and 1999, respectively.


     Future minimum lease payments under noncancelable operating leases are
estimated to approximate $2,240 per year for each of the next five years.

     It is expected that, in the normal course of business, expiring leases will
be renewed or replaced by leases on the same or other properties.

     During 1999, BCG has continued enterprise-wide comprehensive efforts to
assess and remediate its respective computer systems and related software and
equipment to ensure such systems, software and equipment recognized, process and
store information in the year 2000 and thereafter. Such year 2000 remediation
efforts, include an assessment of its most critical systems, such as customer
service and billing systems, headends and other cable plant, business support
operations, and other equipment and facilities. BCG also continued its efforts
to verify the year 2000 readiness of its significant suppliers and vendors and
continued to communicate with significant business partners and affiliates to
assess affiliates' year 2000 status.

     BCG has formed a year 2000 program management team to organize and manage
its year 2000 remediation efforts. The program management team is responsible
for overseeing, coordinating and reporting on its respective year 2000
remediation efforts.

     During 1999, the project management team continued its surveys of
significant third-party vendors and suppliers whose systems, services or
products are important to its operations (e.g., suppliers of addressable
controllers and set-top boxes, and the provider of billing services). BCG has
instituted a verification process to determine the vendors' year 2000 readiness.
Such verification includes, as deemed necessary, reviewing vendors' test and
other data and engaging in regular conferences with vendors' year 2000 teams.
BCG is also requiring testing to validate the year 2000 compliance of certain
critical products and services. The year 2000 readiness of such providers is
critical to continued provision of cable service.

     The failure to correct a material year 2000 problem could result in an
interruption or failure of certain important business operations. There can be
no assurance that the systems of BCG or the systems of other companies on which
they rely will be converted in time, or that any such failure to convert by the
BCG or other companies will not have a material adverse effect on the financial
position, results of operations or cash flows of BCG.

(6)  SUBSEQUENT EVENT

     In June 1999, the Partners of BCCLP entered into an agreement to sell all
of their partnership interests in BCCLP to Charter Communications Holding
Company, LLC for a purchase price of approximately $3.1 billion in cash and
stock which will be reduced by the assumption of BCCLP'S debt at closing. The
cable systems to be acquired are located in Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin and
Nebraska. BCCLP anticipates that this transaction will close in early 2000.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

The Board of Directors
Tele-Communications, Inc.:

     We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of Bresnan
Communications Group Systems, (as defined in Note 1 to the combined financial
statements) as of December 31, 1997 and 1998, and the related combined
statements of operations and Parents' investment and cash flows for each of the
years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1998. These combined financial
statements are the responsibility of the Bresnan Communications Group Systems
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these combined
financial statements based on our audits.

     We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. 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 combined financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Bresnan
Communications Group Systems, as of December 31, 1997 and 1998, and the results
of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year
period ended December 31, 1998, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

("TCI"). BCCLP and the TCI Bresnan Systems are under the common ownership and
control of TCI for all periods presented. Based on such common ownership and
control, the accompanying financial statements are presented herein at
historical cost on a combined basis and will serve as a predecessor to Bresnan
Communications Group LLC. The combined net assets of Bresnan Communications
Group Systems are herein referred to as "Parents' investment".

     BCCLP is a partnership between a subsidiary of TCI and William J. Bresnan
and certain entities which he controls (collectively, the "Bresnan Entities").
BCCLP owns and operates cable television systems principally located in the
midwestern United States. TCI and the Bresnan Entities hold 78.4% and 21.6%
interests, respectively, in BCCLP.

     Certain of the TCI Bresnan Systems have been acquired through transactions
whereby TCI acquired various larger cable entities (the "Original Systems"). The
accounts of certain of the TCI Bresnan Systems include allocations of purchase
accounting adjustments from TCI's acquisition of the Original Systems. Such
allocations and the related franchise cost amortization are based upon the
relative fair market values of the systems involved. In addition, certain costs
of TCI and the Bresnan Entities are charged to the Bresnan Communications Group
Systems based on the methodologies described in note 6. Although such
allocations are not necessarily indicative of the costs that would have been
incurred by the Bresnan Communications Group Systems on a stand alone basis,
management of TCI and the Bresnan Entities believe that the resulting allocated
amounts are reasonable.

     On June 3, 1998, certain affiliates of TCI, the Bresnan Entities, BCCLP and
Blackstone Cable Acquisition Company, LLC ("Blackstone") (collectively, the
"Partners") entered into a Contribution Agreement. Effective February 2, 1999
under the terms of the contribution agreement, certain systems of affiliates of
TCI were transferred to BCCLP along with approximately $708,854 of assumed TCI
debt (the "TCI Transaction") which is not reflected in the accompanying combined
financial statements. At the same time, Blackstone contributed $136,500 to
BCCLP. As a result of these transactions, the Bresnan Entities remain the
managing partner of BCCLP, with a 10.2% combined general and limited partner
interest, while TCI and Blackstone are 50% and 39.8% limited partners of BCCLP,
respectively. The amount of the assumed TCI debt will be adjusted based on
certain working capital adjustments at a specified time after the consummation
of TCI Transaction. Upon completion of these transactions BCCLP formed a
wholly-owned subsidiary, Bresnan Communications Group LLC ("BCG"), into which it
contributed all its assets and liabilities. Simultaneous with this transaction
Bresnan Communications Group LLC formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, Bresnan
Telecommunications Company LLC ("BTC"), into which it contributed all its assets
and liabilities.

     In anticipation of these transactions, on January 25, 1999, BCG sold
$170,000 aggregate principal amount of 8% senior notes (the "Senior Notes") due
2009 and $275,000 aggregate principal amount at maturity (approximately $175,000
gross proceeds) of 9.25% senior discount notes (the "Senior Discount Notes") due
2009. The net proceeds from the offering of the Senior Notes and the Senior
Discount Notes approximated $336,000 after giving effect to discounts and

commissions. Also, BTC borrowed $508,000 of $650,000 available under a new
credit facility (the "Credit Facility").

     The proceeds of the Senior Notes, the Senior Discount Notes and the Credit
Facility were used to retire the assumed TCI debt and the outstanding debt of
the Bresnan Communications group systems prior to the TCI Transaction (see Note
4), as well as the payment of certain fees and expenses. Deferred financing
costs of $2.6 million associated with the retired debt will be written off.

     After giving effect to the issuance of debt noted above, the unaudited
proforma debt outstanding at December 31, 1998 would be $857 million and the
Parents' investment would decrease to a deficit position of $206 million at
December 31, 1998.

     On March 9, 1999, AT&T Corp. ("AT&T") acquired TCI in a merger (the "AT&T
Merger"). In the AT&T Merger, TCI became a subsidiary of AT&T.

(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

  (a) Cash Equivalents

     Cash equivalents consist of investments which are readily convertible into
cash and have maturities of three months or less at the time of acquisition.

  (b) Trade and Other Receivables

     Receivables are reflected net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. Such
allowance at December 31, 1997 and 1998 was not significant.

  (c) Property and Equipment

     Property and equipment is stated at cost, including acquisition costs
allocated to tangible assets acquired. Construction costs, including interest
during construction and applicable overhead, are capitalized. During 1996, 1997
and 1998, interest capitalized was $1,005, $324 and $47, respectively.

     Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis using estimated useful
lives of 3 to 15 years for distribution systems and 3 to 40 years for support
equipment and buildings.

     Repairs and maintenance are charged to operations, and renewals and
additions are capitalized. At the time of ordinary retirements, sales or other
dispositions of property, the original cost and cost of removal of such property
are charged to accumulated depreciation, and salvage, if any, is credited
thereto. Gains or losses are only recognized in connection with the sales of
properties in their entirety.

  (d) Franchise Costs

     Franchise costs include the difference between the cost of acquiring cable
television systems and amounts allocated to their tangible assets. Such amounts
are generally amortized on a straight-line basis over 40 years. Costs incurred
by Bresnan Communications Group Systems in negotiating and renewing franchise
agreements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the
franchise, generally 10 to 20 years.

                                 (IN THOUSANDS)

  (e) Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

     Management periodically reviews the carrying amounts of property and
equipment and identifiable intangible assets to determine whether current events
or circumstances warrant adjustments to such carrying amounts. If an impairment
adjustment is deemed necessary based on an analysis of undiscounted cash flow,
such loss is measured by the amount that the carrying value of such assets
exceeds their fair value. Considerable management judgment is necessary to
estimate the fair value of assets. Accordingly, actual results could vary
significantly from such estimates. Assets to be disposed of are carried at the
lower of their financial statement carrying amount or fair value less costs to
sell.

  (f) Financial Instruments

     Bresnan Communications Group Systems has entered into fixed interest rate
exchange agreements ("Interest Rate Swaps") which are used to manage interest
rate risk arising from its financial liabilities. Such Interest Rate Swaps are
accounted for as hedges; accordingly, amounts receivable or payable under the
Interest Rate Swaps are recognized as adjustments to interest expense. Such
instruments are not used for trading purposes.

     During 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities," ("SFAS 133"), which is effective for all fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 1999. SFAS 133 establishes accounting and reporting
standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring that
all derivative instruments be reported as assets or liabilities and measured at
their fair values. Under SFAS 133, changes in the fair values of derivative
instruments are recognized immediately in earnings unless those instruments
qualify as hedges of the (1) fair values of existing assets, liabilities, or
firm commitments, (2) variability of cash flows of forecasted transactions, or
(3) foreign currency exposures of net investments in foreign operations.
Although management has not completed its assessment of the impact of SFAS 133
on its combined results of operations and financial position, management
estimates that the impact of SFAS 133 will not be material.

  (g) Income Taxes

     The majority of the net assets comprising the TCI Bresnan Systems and BCCLP
were historically held in partnerships. In addition, BCG has been formed as a
limited liability company, to be treated for tax purposes as a flow-through
entity. Accordingly, no provision has been made for income tax expense or
benefit in the accompanying combined financial statements as the earnings or
losses of Bresnan Communications Group Systems will be reported in the
respective tax returns of BCG's members (see note 5).

  (h) Revenue Recognition

     Cable revenue for customer fees, equipment rental, advertising, and
pay-per-view programming is recognized in the period that services are
delivered. Installation revenue is recognized in the period the installation
services are provided to the extent of direct selling costs. Any remaining
amount is deferred and recognized over the estimated average period that
customers are expected to remain connected to the cable distribution system.

  (i) Combined Statements of Cash Flows

     Except for acquisition transactions described in note 3, transactions
effected through Parents' investment have been considered constructive cash
receipts and payments for purposes of the combined statements of cash flows.

  (j) Estimates

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

(3) ACQUISITIONS AND SYSTEM DISPOSITIONS

     In January 1997, affiliates of TCI acquired certain cable television assets
located in or around the Saginaw, Michigan area which are included in the TCI
Bresnan Systems. TCI's cost basis in such acquired assets has been allocated
based on their respective fair values. Such allocation has been reflected in the
accompanying combined financial statements as follows:

<TABLE>

</TABLE>

     In addition in 1998, BCCLP acquired two cable systems which were accounted
for under the purchase method. The purchase prices were allocated to the assets
acquired in relation to their fair values as increases in property and equipment
of $7,099 and franchise costs of $21,651.

     The results of operations of these cable television systems have been
included in the accompanying combined statements of operations from their dates
of acquisition. Pro forma information on the acquisitions has not been presented
because the effects were not significant.

     During 1998, BCCLP also disposed of two cable systems for gross proceeds of
$58,949, which resulted in gain on sale of cable television systems of $27,027.
In connection with one of the dispositions, a third party intermediary received
$47,199 of cash that is designated to be reinvested in certain identified assets
for income tax purposes.

(4) DEBT

     Debt is summarized as follows:

             NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
                        DECEMBER 31, 1996, 1997 AND 1998
                                 (IN THOUSANDS)

---------------
(a) The notes payable to banks represent borrowings under a $250,000 senior
    unsecured reducing revolving credit and term loan facility (the "Bank
    Facility") as documented in the loan agreement as amended and restated as of
    August 5, 1998. The Bank Facility calls for a current available commitment
    of $250,000 of which $209,000 is outstanding at December 31, 1998. The Bank
    Facility provides for two tranches, a revolving loan tranche of $175,000
    (the "Revolving Loan Tranche") and a term loan tranche of $75,000 (the "Term
    Loan Tranche"). The Revolving Loan Tranche is available through March 30,
    1999 and then requires quarterly payments/commitment reductions ranging from
    2.5% to 7.5% of the principal through its maturity on March 31, 2005. The
    Term Loan Tranche, fully drawn at closing and maturing March 31, 2006,
    requires quarterly payments of .25% beginning March 31, 1999 through
    December 31, 2004, quarterly payments of 2.5% for the year ended December
    31, 2005 and 84% of the principal at maturity. The Bank Facility provides
    for interest at varying rates based on two optional measures: 1) for the
    Revolving Loan Tranche, the prime rate plus .625% and/or the London
    Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus 1.625% and 2) for the Term Loan
    Tranche, the prime rate plus 1.75% and/or LIBOR plus 2.75%. The Bank
    Facility has provisions for certain performance-based interest rate
    reductions which are available under either interest rate option. In
    addition, the Bank Facility allows for interest rate swap agreements.

    The rates applicable to balances outstanding at December 31, 1998 ranged
    from 6.815% to 8.000% Covenants of the Bank Facility require, among other
    conditions, the maintenance of certain earnings, cash flow and financial
    ratios and include certain limitations on additional investments,
    indebtedness, capital expenditures, asset sales, management fees and
    affiliate transactions. Commitment fees of .375% per annum are payable on
    the unused principal amounts of the available commitment under the Bank
    Facility, as well as an annual agency fee to a bank of $60. A guarantee in
    the amount of $3,000, has been provided by one of the BCCLP partners.

    Balances outstanding at December 31, 1998 are due as follows:

(b) The note payable to a partner is comprised of a $25,000 subordinated note of
    which $22,100 was outstanding at December 31, 1997 and 1998. The note, dated
    May 12, 1988, is junior and subordinate to the senior debt represented by
    the notes payable to banks. Interest is to be provided for at the prime rate
    (as defined) and is payable quarterly, to the extent allowed under the bank
    subordination agreement, or at the maturity date of the note, which is the
    earlier of April 30, 2001 or the first business day following the full
    repayment of the entire amount due under the notes payable to banks.
    Applicable interest rates at December 31, 1997 and 1998 were 8.25% and
    7.75%, respectively. The note also provides for repayment at any time
    without penalty, subject to subordination restrictions.

             NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
                        DECEMBER 31, 1996, 1997 AND 1998
                                 (IN THOUSANDS)

     Bresnan Communications Group Systems has entered into Interest Rate Swaps
to effectively fix or set a maximum interest rate on a portion of its floating
rate long-term debt. Bresnan Communications Group Systems is exposed to credit
loss in the event of nonperformance by the counterparties to the Interest Rate
Swaps.

     At December 31, 1998, such Interest Rate Swaps effectively fixed or set
maximum interest rates between 9.625% and 9.705% on an aggregate notional
principal amount of $110,000, which rate would become effective upon the
occurrence of certain events. The effect of the Interest Rate Swaps was to
increase interest expense by $851, $460, and $19 for the years ended December
31, 1996, 1997 and 1998, respectively. The expiration dates of the Interest Rate
Swaps ranges from August 25, 1999 to April 3, 2000. The difference between the
fair market value and book value of long-term debt and the Interest Rate Swaps
at December 31, 1997 and 1998 is not significant.

(5) INCOME TAXES

     Taxable earnings differ from those reported in the accompanying combined
statements of operations due primarily to differences in depreciation and
amortization methods and estimated useful lives under regulations prescribed by
the Internal Revenue Service. At December 31, 1998, the reported amounts of
Bresnan Communications Group Systems' assets exceeded their respective tax bases
by approximately $394 million.

(6) TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES

     Bresnan Communications Group Systems purchases, at TCI's cost,
substantially all of its pay television and other programming from affiliates of
TCI. Charges for such programming were $42,897, $48,588 and $58,562 for 1996,
1997 and 1998, respectively, and are included in programming expenses in the
accompanying combined financial statements.

     Certain affiliates of the Partners provide administrative services to
Bresnan Communications Group Systems and have assumed managerial responsibility
of Bresnan Communications Group Systems cable television system operations and
construction. As compensation for these services, Bresnan Communications Group
Systems pays a monthly fee calculated pursuant to certain agreed upon formulas.
Such charges totaled $11,746, $11,801 and $13,086 and have been included in
selling, general and administrative expenses for years ended December 31, 1996,
1997 and 1998, respectively.

(7) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

     On October 5, 1992, Congress enacted the Cable Television Consumer
Protection and Competition Act of 1992 (the "1992 Cable Act"). In 1993 and 1994,
the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") adopted certain rate regulations
required by the 1992 Cable Act and imposed a moratorium on certain rate
increases. As a result of such actions, Bresnan Communications Group Systems'
basic and tier service rates and its equipment and installation charges (the
"Regulated Services") are subject to the jurisdiction of local franchising
authorities and the FCC. Basic and tier service rates are evaluated against
competitive benchmark rates as published by the FCC, and equipment and
installation charges are based on actual costs. Any rates for Regulated Services
that exceeded the benchmarks were reduced as required by the 1993 and 1994 rate
regulations. The rate regulations do not apply to the relatively few systems

which are subject to "effective competition" or to services offered on an
individual service basis, such as premium movie and pay-per-view services.

     Bresnan Communications Group Systems believes that it has complied in all
material respects with the provisions of the 1992 Cable Act, including its rate
setting provisions. However, Bresnan Communications Group Systems' rates for
Regulated Services are subject to review by the FCC, if a complaint has been
filed by a customer, or the appropriate franchise authority, if such authority
has been certified by the FCC to regulate rates. If, as a result of the review
process, a system cannot substantiate its rates, it could be required to
retroactively reduce its rates to the appropriate benchmark and refund the
excess portion of rates received. Any refunds of the excess portion of tier
service rates would be retroactive to the date of complaint. Any refunds of the
excess portion of all other Regulated Service rates would be retroactive to one
year prior to the implementation of the rate reductions.

     Certain of Bresnan Communications Group Systems' individual systems have
been named in purported class actions in various jurisdictions concerning late
fee charges and practices. Certain of Bresnan Communications Group Systems'
cable systems charge late fees to customers who do not pay their cable bills on
time. Plaintiffs generally allege that the late fees charged by such cable
systems are not reasonably related to the costs incurred by the cable systems as
a result of the late payment. Plaintiffs seek to require cable systems to
provide compensation for alleged excessive late fee charges for past periods.
These cases are at various stages of the litigation process. Based upon the
facts available, management believes that, although no assurances can be given
as to the outcome of these actions, the ultimate disposition of these matters
should not have a material adverse effect upon the financial condition or
results of operations of Bresnan Communications Group Systems.

     BCCLP entered into three letters of intent with three different cable
operators pursuant to which the BCCLP intends to sell a small cable television
system in Michigan and acquire cable television systems in both Michigan and
Minnesota. These transactions would result in a net cost to the BCCLP of
approximately $63,000, $2,000 was deposited for the acquisition in Michigan.
BCCLP expects to fund these transactions through the use of restricted cash,
cash flow from operations and additional borrowings.

     Bresnan Communications Group Systems has other contingent liabilities
related to legal proceedings and other matters arising in the ordinary course of
business. Although it is reasonably possible Bresnan Communications Group
Systems may incur losses upon conclusion of such matters, an estimate of any
loss or range of loss cannot be made. In the opinion of the management, it is
expected that amounts, if any, which may be required to satisfy such
contingencies will not be material in relation to the accompanying combined
financial statements.

     Bresnan Communications Group Systems leases business offices, has entered
into pole attachment agreements and uses certain equipment under lease
arrangements. Rental expense under such arrangements amounted to $3,208, $3,221
and $2,833 in 1996, 1997 and 1998, respectively.

     Future minimum lease payments under noncancelable operating leases are
estimated to approximate $2,240 per year for each of the next five years.

     It is expected that, in the normal course of business, expiring leases will
be renewed or replaced by leases on the same or similar properties.

     During 1998, TCI and BCCLP have continued enterprise-wide, comprehensive
efforts to assess and remediate their respective computer systems and related
software and equipment to ensure such systems, software and equipment will
recognize, process and store information in the year 2000 and thereafter. Such
year 2000 remediation efforts, which encompass the TCI Bresnan Systems and the
Bresnan Entities, respectively, include an assessment of their most critical
systems, such as customer service and billing systems, headends and other cable
plant, business support operations, and other equipment and facilities. TCI and
BCCLP also continued their efforts to verify the year 2000 readiness of their
significant suppliers and vendors and continued to communicate with significant
business partners' and affiliates to assess such partners and affiliates' year
2000 status.

     TCI and BCCLP have formed year 2000 program management teams to organize
and manage their year 2000 remediation efforts. The program management teams are
responsible for overseeing, coordinating and reporting on their respective year
2000 remediation efforts. Upon consummation of the TCI Transaction, assessment
and remediation of year 2000 issues for the TCI Bresnan Systems became the
responsibility of BCCLP.

     During 1998, the project management teams continued their surveys of
significant third-party vendors and suppliers whose systems, services or
products are important to their operations (e.g., suppliers of addressable
controllers and set-top boxes, and the provider of billing services). The year
2000 readiness of such providers is critical to continued provision of cable
service.

     TCI and BCCLP have instituted a verification process to determine the
vendors' year 2000 readiness. Such verification includes, as deemed necessary,
reviewing vendors' test and other data and engaging in regular conferences with
vendors' year 2000 teams. TCI and BCCLP are also requiring testing to validate
the year 2000 compliance of certain critical products and services.

     The failure to correct a material year 2000 problem could result in an
interruption or failure of certain important business operations. There can be
no assurance that the systems of Bresnan Communications Group Systems or the
systems of other companies on which they rely will be converted in time, or that
any such failure to convert by the Bresnan Communications Group Systems or other
companies will not have a material adverse effect on the financial position,
results of operations or cash flows of Bresnan Communications Group Systems.

     If the U.S. underwriters sell more shares than the total number set forth
in the table above, the U.S. underwriters have an option to buy up to an
additional           shares from CCI to cover such sales. They may exercise that
option for 30 days. If any shares are purchased pursuant to this option, the
underwriters will severally purchase shares in approximately the same proportion
as set forth in the table above.

     The following table shows the per share and total underwriting discounts
and commissions to be paid to the U.S. underwriters by CCI. Such amounts are
shown assuming both no exercise and full exercise of the U.S. underwriters'

     Shares sold by the underwriters to the public are being offered at the
initial public offering price set forth on the cover page of this prospectus.
Any shares sold by the underwriters to securities dealers may be sold at a
discount of up to $     per share from the initial public offering price. Any
such securities dealers may resell any shares purchased from the underwriters to
certain other brokers or dealers at a discount of up to $     per share from the
initial public offering price. If all of the shares are not sold at the initial
public offering price, the representatives may change the offering price and the
other selling terms.


     CCI and Charter Communications Holding Company have entered into an
underwriting agreement with the underwriters for the international offering of
shares of Class A common stock outside the United States and Canada (the
"international underwriters"). The terms and conditions of both offerings are
the same and the sale of shares in both offerings are conditioned

on each other. Goldman Sachs International, Bear, Stearns International Limited,
Morgan Stanley & Co. International Limited, Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette
Securities Corporation, Merrill Lynch International, Salomon Brothers
International ABN Amro, Rothschild Credit Lyonnais Securities and Dresdner Bank
AG are representatives of the international underwriters. CCI has granted the
international underwriters an option similar to that granted the U.S.
underwriters to purchase up to an aggregate of an additional        shares.


     The underwriters for both of the offerings have entered into an agreement
in which they have agreed to restrictions on where and to whom they and any
dealer purchasing from them may offer shares as a part of the distribution of
the shares. The underwriters have also agreed that they may sell shares among
each of the underwriting groups.


     CCI, all of its directors and executive officers, Charter Communications
Holding Company, Charter Investment and Vulcan Cable III have agreed not to
dispose of or hedge any of their Class A common stock or their Charter
Communications Holding Company membership units or securities convertible into
or exchangeable for Class A common stock or membership units during the period
from the date of this prospectus continuing through the date 180 days after the
date of this prospectus, except with the prior written consent of Goldman, Sachs
& Co. See "Shares Eligible for Future Sale" for a discussion of certain transfer
restrictions.


     Prior to the offering, there has been no public market for the shares. The
initial public offering price will be negotiated among CCI and the
representatives. Among the factors to be considered in determining the initial
public offering price of the shares, in addition to prevailing market
conditions, will be our historical performance, estimates of our business
potential and our earnings prospects, an assessment of our management and the
consideration of the above factors in relation to market valuation of companies
in related businesses.


     CCI has applied to have the Class A common stock included for quotation on
the Nasdaq National Market under the symbol "CHTR".


     In connection with the offering, the underwriters may purchase and sell
shares of Class A common stock in the open market. These transactions may
include short sales, stabilizing transactions and purchases to cover positions
created by short sales. Short sales involve the sale by the underwriters of a
greater number of shares than they are required to purchase in the offering.
Stabilizing transactions consist of certain bids or purchases made for the
purpose of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the Class A
common stock while the offering is in progress.

     The underwriters may impose a penalty bid. This occurs when a particular
underwriter repays to the underwriters a portion of the underwriting discount
received by it because the representatives have repurchased shares sold by or
for the account of such underwriter in stabilizing or short covering
transactions.

     These activities by the underwriters may stabilize, maintain or otherwise
affect the market price of the Class A common stock. As a result, the price of
the Class A common stock may be higher than the price that otherwise might exist
in the open market. If these activities are commenced, they may be discontinued
by the underwriters at any time. These transactions may be effected on the
Nasdaq National Market, in the over-the-counter market or otherwise.

     The underwriters do not expect sales to discretionary accounts to exceed
five percent of the total number of shares offered.

     CCI estimates that its share of the total expenses of the offering,
excluding underwriting discounts and commissions, will be approximately $
          .


     CCI and Charter Communications Holding Company have agreed to indemnify the
several underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under
the Securities Act of 1933.

     At our request, the underwriters have reserved for sale at the initial
public offering price up to   % of the shares offered by us to be sold to our
directors, officers, employees and business associates. The number of shares
available for sale to the general public will be reduced to the extent such
shares are purchased. Any of these reserved shares not so purchased will be
offered by the underwriters on the same basis as the shares offered hereby.

     At our request, the underwriters will reserve up to $12 million of Class A
common stock at the initial public offering price for sale to specified sellers
of the Helicon cable systems. This would represent             shares of Class A
common stock, calculated at the mid-point of the range set forth on the cover
page of this prospectus.


     Certain of the underwriters and their affiliates have in the past provided,
and may in the future from time to time provide, investment banking and general
financing and banking services to Charter Communications Holding Company and its
affiliates for which they have in the past received, and may in the future
receive, customary fees.


     This prospectus may be used by the underwriters and other dealers in
connection with offers and sales of the shares, including sales of shares
initially sold by the underwriters in the offering being made outside of the
United States, to persons located in the United States.

ITEM 14.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

INDEMNIFICATION UNDER THE CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION AND BYLAWS OF THE
REGISTRANT

     The Registrant's certificate of incorporation provides that a director of
the Registrant shall not be personally liable to the Registrant or its
stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director,
except for liability: (i) for any breach of the directors' duty of loyalty to
the Registrant or its stockholders; (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith
or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; (iii)
under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation law; or (iv) for any
transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. The
Registrant's bylaws require the Registrant to indemnify any person who was or is
a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or
completed proceeding by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or
officer of the Registrant, or any other person designated by the board of
directors (which may include any person serving at the request of the Registrant
as a director, officer, employee, agent, fiduciary or trustee of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other
entity or enterprise), in each case, against certain liabilities (including
damages, judgments, amounts paid in settlement, fines, penalties and expenses),
except where such indemnification is expressly prohibited by applicable law,
where such person has engaged in willful misconduct or recklessness or where
such indemnification has been determined to be unlawful. Such indemnification as
to expenses is mandatory to the extent the individual is successful on the
merits of the matter.

INDEMNIFICATION UNDER THE DELAWARE GENERAL CORPORATION LAW

     Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, authorizes a
corporation to indemnify any person who was or is a party, or is threatened to
be made a party, to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or
proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason
of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of
the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other

                                      II-1
<PAGE>   662

enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and
amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in
connection with such action, suit or proceeding, if the person acted in good
faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed
to, the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal
action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the person's conduct
was unlawful. In addition, the Delaware General Corporation Law permits
indemnification only for expenses (including attorneys fees) in connection with
an action or suit by or in the right of the corporation, and, in respect of any
claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be
liable to the corporation, such indemnification is permitted only to the extent
that the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon
application that, despite the adjudication of liability, but in view of all the
circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to
indemnity for such expenses, which such court shall deem proper. To the extent
that a present or former director or officer of a corporation has been
successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or
proceeding referred to above, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter, such
person shall be indemnified against expenses, including attorneys' fees,
actually and reasonably incurred by such person.


INDEMNIFICATION UNDER THE LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY AGREEMENT OF CHARTER
COMMUNICATIONS HOLDING COMPANY



     The limited liability company agreement of Charter Communications Holding
Company, entered into as of February 9, 1999, by Charter Investment as the
initial member, provides that the members, the manager, the directors, their
affiliates or any person who at any time serves or has served as a director,
officer, employee or other agent of any member or any such affiliate, and who,
in such capacity, engages or has engaged in activities on behalf of Charter
Communications Holding Company, shall be indemnified and held harmless by
Charter Communications Holding Company to the fullest extent permitted by law
from and against any losses, damages, expenses, including attorneys' fees,
judgments and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by or
in connection with any claim, action, suit or proceeding arising out of or
incidental to such indemnifiable person's conduct or activities on behalf of
Charter Communications Holding Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no
indemnification is available under the limited liability company agreement for
actions constituting bad faith, willful misconduct or fraud. Payment of these
indemnification obligations shall be made from the assets of Charter
Communications Holding Company and the members shall not be personally liable to
an indemnifiable person for payment of indemnification.


ITEM 15.  RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES.

     The Registrant has not issued any common stock prior to the offering.
Concurrently with the consummation of the offering to which this registration
statement relates, Paul G. Allen, Jerald L. Kent, Barry L. Babcock and Howard L.
Wood will each purchase           shares of Class B common stock for an
aggregate purchase price of $          . The offering and sale of the shares of
common stock will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933 because the
offering and sales will be made in reliance on the exemption provided by Section
4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Rule 506 thereunder for transactions by
an issuer not involving a public offering.

FINANCIAL STATEMENT SCHEDULES

     Schedules not listed above are omitted because of the absence of the
conditions under which they are required or because the information required by

thereto.

ITEM 17.  UNDERTAKINGS.

     The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the underwriter
at the closing specified in the underwriting agreements, certificates in such
denominations and registered in such names as required by the underwriter to
permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.

                                      II-6

     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant
has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission,
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred
or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.

     The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that:

          (1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act
     of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part
     of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in
     a form of prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or
     (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this
     registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

          (2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
     Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of
     prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to
     the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that
     time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
