              TELEPORT COMMUNICATIONS GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                 FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 


     1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

          In the opinion of Teleport Communications Group Inc. (together with
     its wholly owned subsidiaries and its majority owned subsidiaries, "TCGI"
     or the "Company"), the accompanying consolidated financial statements
     contain all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments,
     necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position as of
     September 30, 1996 and the Company's results of operations and cash flows
     for the nine  months then ended.

          The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 1996
     are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year.

     2.   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

          Consolidation

          The consolidated balance sheet includes the accounts of TCGI's wholly
     owned and majority owned subsidiaries at September 30, 1996.  Minority
     interest represents other partners' interest in TCG Seattle and TCG San
     Francisco as of September 30, 1996.  The statements of operations and of
     cash flows include equity in losses of unconsolidated affiliates for all
     the Local Market Partnerships except for TCG St. Louis through June 30,
     1996.  As of July 1, 1996, the statements of operations and of cash flows
     consolidate the financial statements of the former Local Market
     Partnerships.  As of and for the period ended December 31, 1995, the
     balance sheet, statements of operations and of cash flows include the
     combined accounts of TCGI and TCG Partners.  Minority interest represents
     another partner's equity in TCG St. Louis at December 31, 1995.
     Investments in which TCGI held less than a 50 percent interest are
     accounted for under the equity method.  (See Note 4 - Reorganization)

          The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of TCGI and
     its wholly owned subsidiaries.  All material intercompany transactions and
     balances have been eliminated in consolidation.  Certain information and
     footnote disclosure normally included in financial statements prepared in
     accordance with generally accepted accounting principles has been condensed
     or omitted.  These consolidated financial statements and notes should be
     read in conjunction with the combined financial statements of Teleport
     Communications Group Inc. and Subsidiaries and TCG Partners and the
     combined financial statements of the Local Market Partnerships to be
     acquired by Teleport Communications Group Inc., included as part of TCGI's
     Prospectus, dated June 27, 1996, with respect to its Class A Common Stock
     and filed with TCGI's Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-
     3850).

          Marketable Securities

          Marketable securities consist of fixed income securities, commercial
     paper, floating rate notes and certificates of deposit.  Marketable
     securities are stated at market value.  Market value is determined by the
     most recently traded price of the security at the balance sheet date.

          By policy, TCGI invests primarily in high-grade marketable securities.
     All marketable securities are defined as trading securities under the
     provisions of Statement of  Financial Accounting  Standards No. 115,
     "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" (SFAS
     No. 115) and unrealized holding gains and losses are reflected in earnings.
     Net realized gains or losses are determined on the specific identification
     cost method.

          At September 30, 1996, marketable securities in the aggregate had a
     market value of $869.8 million consisting of cash and cash equivalents of
     $325.1 million and short term investments of  $544.7 million. Original cost
     in the aggregate was $868.0 million consisting of cash and cash equivalents
     of $324.6 million and short term investments of $543.4 million.  As trading
     securities are on a mark-to-market basis, this resulted in a net unrealized
     gain of $1.9 million of which  approximately $600,000 relates to cash and
     cash equivalents and approximately $1.3 million relates to short term
     investments.

            FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 - CONTINUED

       Net Loss Per Share

       Net loss per common share was determined by dividing net loss by the
     weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period.  The
     computation of fully diluted net loss per share was antidilutive in each of
     the periods presented; therefore, the amounts reported as primary and fully
     diluted are the same.

       As part of the Reorganization, (as defined herein) TCGI declared a 42,000
     to 1 stock split.  All per share amounts and numbers of shares have been
     restated to reflect the stock split retroactive for the periods presented.

       Reclassification

       Certain 1995 amounts have been reclassified to conform with the 1996
     presentation.

     3.  OFFERINGS

       On June 27, 1996, TCGI issued 27,025,000 shares of Class A Common Stock
     which resulted in gross proceeds of approximately $432.1 million (the
     "Stock Offering"), and $300 million of Senior Notes and $1,073 million of
     Senior Discount Notes as part of an initial public offering (the
     "Offerings").   The Offerings of the Senior Notes and the Senior Discount
     Notes resulted in aggregate gross proceeds of $925 million.  The gross
     proceeds of the Offerings (approximately $1.3 billion) were received by
     TCGI on July 2, 1996.   TCGI also recognized a liability of approximately
     $46.8 million which was paid to the underwriters on July 2, 1996.  In July
     1996 TCGI utilized a portion of the net proceeds of the Offerings to (i)
     repay $250 million of bank indebtedness plus accrued interest and (ii)
     purchase 7,975,738 shares of Class B Common Stock owned by Continental
     Cablevision, Inc. for $16.00 per share less related expenses for a net cost
     of $121 million.  The remaining funds will be used to expand and develop
     existing and new networks and for general corporate and working capital
     purposes.

     4.  REORGANIZATION

          Prior to the  Offerings, TCGI was owned by subsidiaries of Cox
     Communications, Inc. ("Cox") (approximately 30%), TCI Communications, Inc.
     ("TCI") (approximately 30%), Comcast Corporation ("Comcast") (approximately
     20%) and Continental Cablevision, Inc. ("Continental") (approximately 20%)
     (collectively the "Cable Stockholders").  The business was operated through
     TCGI, and beginning in 1992, TCG Partners, which is a New York general
     partnership owned prior to the Reorganization by the Cable Stockholders in
     the same percentages as TCGI.  TCG Partners was formed to invest, with
     TCGI, the Cable Stockholders and other cable operators, in 14 partnerships
     (the "Local Market Partnerships") to develop and operate local
     telecommunications networks.  The Local Market Partnerships were owned by
     TCGI, and/or TCG Partners, and certain of the Cable Stockholders which have
     cable operations in the particular markets addressed by the Local Market
     Partnerships and, in some cases, other cable operators in such markets.  To
     simplify this complex ownership structure, TCGI and the Cable Stockholders
     agreed to consolidate the ownership of TCG Partners and of the Local Market
     Partnerships as wholly owned subsidiaries of TCGI.  As part of this
     process, certain of the other cable operators agreed to sell their
     interests in the Local Market Partnerships to TCGI directly or through a
     Cable Stockholder.

       Reorganization Transactions Consummated Prior to or in Connection with
     the Offerings

       In connection with the Offerings, TCGI and the Cable Stockholders entered
     into a reorganization agreement (the "Reorganization Agreement") pursuant
     to which TCGI, TCG Partners and the Local Market Partnerships were or are
     expected to be reorganized (the "Reorganization").  The principal
     transactions comprising the Reorganization that have occurred are:

        o   The acquisition by TCGI of TCG Partners in exchange for Class B
            Common Stock issued to the Cable Stockholders.

        o   The acquisition by TCGI of all of the interests in 12 of the 14
            Local Market Partnerships in exchange for Class B Common Stock
            issued to the Cable Stockholders and Class A Common Stock issued to
            other cable operators.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
            FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 - CONTINUED


        o   The contribution to TCGI of $269.0 million in aggregate principal
            amount of indebtedness, plus accrued interest from May 1995, owed by
            TCGI to the Cable Stockholders (except that TCI retained a $26
            million subordinated note of TCGI) in exchange for Class B Common
            Stock issued to the Cable Stockholders.

        o   In connection with Continental's announced proposed merger with US
            West, Inc., the purchase by TCGI of 7,975,738 shares (out of
            25,761,330 shares) of Class B Common Stock owned by Continental at a
            price per share equal to $16.00 per share of the Class A Common
            Stock offered in the Stock Offering, less the applicable
            underwriting discount and a pro rata portion of the registration
            fees, representing an aggregate purchase price of $121 million. On
            November 5, 1996, the U.S. Department of Justice announced a
            settlement with U.S. West and Continental pursuant to which
            Continental will be required to reduce its ownership in TCGI to
            below 10% by June 30, 1997 and to eliminate such ownership entirely
            by December 31, 1998.

          In consideration of the transfer by each of the Cable Stockholders of
     its respective interests in TCG Partners and the Local Market Partnerships
     and the contribution to TCGI of the indebtedness described above, the
     Company issued immediately prior to the Offerings 69,250,230 additional
     shares of Class B Common Stock to the Cable Stockholders.


          Reorganization Transactions After the Offerings

          Pursuant to the Reorganization, TCG Partners and 12 of the 14 Local
     Market Partnerships have become wholly owned subsidiaries of TCGI.  In
     addition, TCI has agreed to transfer its interests in TCG Seattle and TCG
     San Francisco to the Company at the earliest time such transactions can be
     accomplished.  Furthermore, TCI has acquired the 22.9% and 22.2% minority
     partnership interests in TCG San Francisco and TCG Seattle, respectively,
     formerly held by Viacom Telecom, Inc., which interests TCI is required to
     transfer to TCGI.  The issuance of shares of Class B Common Stock to TCI
     assumes that, subsequent to the Offerings, TCI will contribute its current
     partnership interests in TCG Seattle and TCG San Francisco, and that TCI
     will acquire and contribute to TCGI the partnership interests of Viacom
     Telecom, Inc. in TCG Seattle and TCG San Francisco.

          In addition, TCI will be issued 638,862 shares of Class A Common Stock
     in consideration for the transfer to TCGI of the partnership interest which
     TCI acquired from MicroNet, Inc. in TCG San Francisco.  TCI also has an
     agreement to acquire a 4.2% partnership interest in TCG San Francisco from
     InterMedia Partners.  TCI has informed TCGI that it has acquired such
     partnership interest.  At such time as TCI acquires such partnership
     interest, TCI is required to transfer such interest to TCGI in
     consideration of the issuance to TCI of 372,666 shares of Class A Common
     Stock.  This transfer is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 1996.

          As of September 30, 1996, TCI, Cox, Comcast and Continental  owned
     37.2%, 29.8%, 19.5% and 13.6%, respectively, of the Company's Class B
     Common Stock, representing 36.4%, 29.2%, 19.1% and 13.3%, respectively, of
     the combined voting power of the Company's Common Stock.

     5.   EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

          TCGI adopted the Teleport Communications Group Inc.  Employee Stock
     Purchase Plan ("the Stock Purchase Plan"), effective June 27, 1996.  The
     Stock Purchase Plan is administered by a committee designated by the Board
     of Directors.  Each eligible employee will be given an option to purchase
     up to a number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to 10% of such
     employee's compensation plus bonus paid for the calendar year preceding the
     year the option is awarded, divided by the purchase price per share under
     the option.  The Board of Directors has authorized the issuance under the
     Stock Purchase Plan of a maximum number of shares of Class A Common Stock
     equal to the maximum number of shares for which all employees eligible as
     of the date of the Stock Offerings could elect to be granted options for
     the first offering period.  Options relating to 622,000 shares of Class A
     Common Stock were issued.  The expense recorded for the three months ended
     September 30, 1996 related to the options issued was approximately
     $375,000.

     6.   SUBSEQUENT EVENT

          On October 23, 1996, TCGI announced its agreement to acquire Eastern
     TeleLogic Corporation ("ETC") for approximately $233 million in cash, stock
     and assumed debt.  ETC is a leading competitive local exchange carrier in
     Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and in the neighboring cities of Camden, New
     Jersey and Wilmington, Delaware.  In the first of two steps, on October 25,
     1996, ETC redeemed shares of its stock and employee stock options
     (approximately 47%), not held by Comcast CAP of  Philadelphia, Inc. 
     ("Comcast CAP"), a corporation owned 51% by Comcast Corporation and 49% by
     TCGI.  Comcast CAP borrowed at a market interest rate approximately $115
     million from TCGI as a short-term loan and, in turn, loaned this amount to
     ETC to effect the redemption.

          In the second step, TCGI will acquire Comcast's 51% stock interest in
     Comcast CAP in exchange for 2,757,083 shares of TCGI Class A Common Stock,
     resulting in ETC becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of TCG.  TCG will also
     assume approximately $45 million of ETC debt and approximately $5 million
     of management stock appreciation rights.  The second step will close as
     soon as necessary regulatory approvals have been obtained, which is
     expected in the first quarter of 1997.

     RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
     ---------------------

        Revenue

          Total revenues increased to $72.7 million and $180.3 million for the
     three and nine months ended September 30, 1996 from $42.3 million and
     $118.0 million, representing increases of $30.4 million and $62.3 million,
     or 72% and 53%, respectively. Pursuant to the Reorganization, TCGI
     consolidated the financial statements of the Local Market Partnerships,
     which consolidation accounts for $25.1 million of the increase for both the
     three and nine months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to the three and
     nine months ended September 30, 1995. Telecommunications services revenue
     increased to $72.7 million and $157.5 million for the three and nine months
     ended September 30, 1996, from $34.3 million and $96.3 million for the
     three and nine months ended September 30, 1995, representing increases of
     $38.4 million and $61.2 million, or 112% and 64%, respectively.  The
     increases in revenue occurred in every revenue category, most significantly
     in switched services.  These increases in revenues also are a result of
     increased market penetration primarily in TCGI's existing markets as well
     as expansion into new markets.

          Management fees are directly related to operating and administrative
     support services provided by TCGI to certain former wholly owned entities
     and to the Local Market Partnerships.  The royalty fees were charged to the
     Local Market Partnerships based on revenue.  As a result of the
     Reorganization, management and royalty fees from the Local Market
     Partnerships are no longer reflected as revenue for the three months ended
     September 30, 1996, due to the consolidation of the Local Market
     Partnerships.

          On a pro forma basis, had telecommunications services revenue
     generated by unconsolidated Local Market Partnerships been included in the
     prior periods' financial statements, total revenues would have increased to
     $72.7 million and $196.0 million for the three and nine months ended
     September 30, 1996 from $47.6 million and $130.5 million for the three and
     nine months ended September 30, 1995, reflecting increases of $25.1 million
     and $65.5 million, or 53% and 50%, respectively.  This revenue growth is a
     direct result of increased market penetration of all telecommunications
     service offerings in existing markets and the addition of new markets.  On
     a pro forma basis, annualized monthly recurring revenue increased to
     approximately $282.9 million for the month of September 30, 1996, from
     $179.9 million for the comparable period in 1995, an increase of $103.0
     million, or 57%.  Monthly recurring revenue represents monthly service
     charges billable to telecommunications services customers for the month
     indicated, but excluding non-recurring revenues for certain one-time
     services, such as installation fees or equipment charges.

          On a pro forma basis, switched service revenue increased 74%, for both
     the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996 from the similar periods
     in 1995 and represented 39% and 34% of total revenue as of September 30,
     1996 and 1995, respectively.  Increased monthly dedicated services revenue,
     as well as sales growth in enhanced switched services products to new
     customers, also contributed to overall revenue growth.  On a pro forma
     basis, dedicated services revenue increased 41% and 38% for the three and
     nine months ended September 30, 1996, respectively.

     Operating Expenses

          TCGI, in order to be consistent with industry standards, has
     reclassified certain compensation and overhead expenses, related to
     engineering, customer service and new technology, from selling, general and
     administrative to operating expenses.  Operating expenses increased to
     $43.7 million and $106.0 million for the three and nine months ended
     September 30, 1996, from $23.9 million and $67.0 million  for the three and
     nine months ended September 30, 1995, increases of $19.8 million and $39.0
     million, or 83% and 58%, respectively.   Pursuant to the Reorganization,
     TCGI has consolidated the financial statements of the Local Market
     Partnerships, which consolidation accounts for $12.7 million of the
     increase in operating expenses for both the three and nine months ended
     September 30, 1996 as compared to the three and nine months ended September
     30, 1995.  The remaining increases are directly related to the costs
     associated with the expansion of TCGI's networks.  These expenses include
     costs specifically associated with network operations including
     compensation costs for technical personnel,

     access, rights-of-way, node, rent and maintenance expenses.  Offsetting
     these expense increases are reductions in expenses due to renegotiation of
     interconnection agreements with incumbent local carriers.  On a pro forma
     basis, operating expenses increased to $43.7 million and $120.8 million for
     the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996, from $29.9 million and
     $81.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1995,
     increases of $13.8 million and $39.6 million, or 46% and 49%, respectively.
     On a pro forma basis, operating expenses are approximately 60% and 62% of
     revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996,
     respectively, and  63% and 62% of revenue for the three and nine months
     ended September 30, 1995.

     Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

          TCGI, in order to be consistent with industry standards, has
     reclassified certain compensation and overhead expenses related to
     engineering, customer service and new technology, from selling, general and
     administrative to operating expenses.  Selling, general and administrative
     expenses increased to $26.0 million and $55.4 million for the three and
     nine months ended September 30, 1996, from $12.3 million and $35.9 million
     for the three and nine months ended September  30, 1995, an increase of
     $13.7 million and $19.5  million, or 111% and 54%, respectively. Pursuant
     to the Reorganization, TCGI has consolidated the financial statements of
     the Local Market Partnerships, which consolidation accounts for $18.1
     million of the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses for
     both the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to the
     three and nine months ended September 30, 1995.  These remaining increases
     are attributable to the costs required to maintain an infrastructure which
     supports the continued expansion of the Company's networks and the
     introduction of new services.  These costs include compensation, occupancy,
     insurance, professional fees, and sales and marketing expenses.  In the
     third quarter, TCGI incurred costs to introduce a new advertising media
     promotion in order to increase market penetration.  In addition, TCGI
     incurred professional fees relating to various state interconnection
     arbitrations.  On a  pro forma basis, selling, general and administrative
     expenses increased to $26.0 million and $68.8 million for the three and
     nine months ended September 30, 1996, from $17.7 and $50.8 million for the
     three and  nine months ended September 30, 1995, an increase of $8.3
     million and $18.0 million, or 47% or 35%, respectively.

     EBITDA

          EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization,
     minority interest and equity in losses of unconsolidated affiliates)
     decreased to $3.1 million for the three months ended September  30, 1996,
     from $6.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 1995, a decrease
     of $3.1 million, or 50%.  Pursuant to the Reorganization, TCGI has
     consolidated the financial statements of the Local Market Partnerships,
     which consolidation accounts for $5.7 of the decrease in EBITDA.  EBITDA
     increased to $18.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1996,
     from $15.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1995, an
     increase of $3.7 million or 24%.  The increase that occurred for the nine
     months ended September 30, 1996 compared to the nine months ended September
     30, 1995 is a result of TCGI obtaining increased efficiencies through
     greater automation and through lower access costs, offset by the lower
     management fees received in 1996.  On a pro forma basis, EBITDA increased
     to $3.1 million and $6.4 million for the three and nine months ended
     September 30, 1996, from $40,000 and ($1.6) million for the three and nine
     months ended September 30, 1995, increases of $3.1 million and $8.0
     million, respectively.  The Local Market Partnerships, which are included
     in the pro forma financial data to reflect the Reorganization, have
     negative EBITDA due to the start-up or rapid expansion of the networks of
     such Local Market Partnerships.

     Depreciation and Amortization Expense

          Depreciation and amortization expense increased to $25.0 million and
     $52.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996, from
     $8.9 million and $24.4 million for the three and nine months ended
     September 30, 1995, increases of $16.1 million and $27.6 million, or 181%
     or 113%, respectively.  These increases are primarily attributable to
     increased depreciation related to the expansion of the Company's local
     telecommunications networks nationally and to changes in the estimated
     useful lives of certain electronics equipment, which were made during 1995
     in order to conform with industry standards.  On a pro forma basis,
     depreciation and amortization expense increased to $25.0 million and $68.9
     million for the three and nine months

     ended September 30, 1996, from $14.5 million and $39.2 million for the
     three and nine months ended September 30, 1995, increases of $10.5 million
     and $29.7 million, or 72%  and 76%, respectively.

     Interest Income

          Interest income increased to $14.7 million and $17.3 million for the
     three and nine months ended September 30, 1996, from $1.0 million and $3.0
     million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1995, increases
     of $13.7 million and $14.3 million, or 137% and 477%, respectively.  These
     increases are attributable to interest earned and accreted on the cash and
     cash equivalents that resulted from the proceeds of the Offerings.

     Interest Expense

          Interest expense increased to $26.8 million and $44.5 million for the
     three and nine months ended September 30, 1996, from $6.1 million and $16.2
     million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1995, increases
     of $20.7 million and $28.3 million, or 339% and 175%, respectively.  These
     increases resulted from interest on the Company's senior notes, senior
     discount notes, and a subordinated note to a related party issued on June
     27, 1996,  offset by the absence of interest for the three months ended
     September 30, 1996 on the revolving credit agreement and borrowings under
     the subordinated debt to parents for the three months ended September 30,
     1996.

     Equity in Losses of Unconsolidated Affiliates

          Equity in losses of unconsolidated affiliates decreased to $300,000
     and $12.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996
     from $5.0 million and $13.7 million for the three and nine months ended
     September 30, 1995, decreases of $4.7 million and $1.0 million, or 94% and
     7%, respectively.  The decreases resulted from the consolidation of the
     Local Market Partnerships.

     Net Loss

          The net losses were $33.7 million and $72.1 million for the three and
     nine months ended September 30, 1996, respectively.  These are increases of
     $21.0 million and $36.2 million from net loss of $12.7 million and $35.9
     million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1995,
     respectively.  The increases in net loss are attributable to the factors
     discussed previously.  On a pro forma basis, net loss increased to $33.7
     million and $83.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30,
     1996, from $15.7 million and $43.5 million for the three and nine months
     ended September 30, 1995.

     LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
     -------------------------------

          As of September 30, 1996, TCGI had total assets of approximately $2.0
     billion, an increase of approximately $1.4 billion from $615 million as of
     December 31, 1995.  This growth is primarily attributable to the Offerings
     which occurred on June 27, 1996, whereby TCGI issued 27,025,000 shares of
     Class A Common Stock, $300 million Senior Notes and $1,073 million of
     Senior Discount Notes for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $1.3
     billion.  The Company's current assets of approximately $989 million exceed
     current liabilities of  $203 million, providing working capital of
     approximately $786 million. Network and equipment, net of depreciation
     aggregates $965 million.  The increase in assets from December 31, 1995 as
     compared to September 30, 1996 is also attributable to the assets of the
     Local Market Partnerships which TCGI acquired from the Cable Stockholders
     pursuant to the Reorganization (See Note 4 - Reorganization).  The assets
     of the Local Market Partnerships as of  September 30, 1996 were
     approximately $529 million.

          TCGI has invested the proceeds from the Offerings in short-term
     marketable securities such as Treasury bills and commercial paper.  TCGI
     will utilize the remaining proceeds to expand its networks, for
     acquisitions and to provide funds for working capital.

          Prior to the Offerings, growth had been funded primarily by the Cable
     Stockholders through equity contributions, and through a loan facility
     aggregating $269 million borrowed by TCGI under the Stockholders Loan

     Agreement, as well as through $250 million in borrowings under the
     Revolving Credit Agreement.  Pursuant to the Reorganization, the $269
     million of aggregate principal amount of indebtedness (plus $20.6 million
     of accrued interest as of June 27, 1996) under the Stockholders Loan
     Agreement was contributed by the Cable Stockholders to capital in exchange
     for Class B Common Stock.  Additionally, the $250 million of indebtedness
     under the Revolving Credit Agreement was repaid in July 1996 from the
     proceeds of the Offerings.  TCGI plans to utilize the credit facility under
     the Revolving Credit Agreement, of which $250 million is currently
     available, to supplement TCGI's funding requirements related to its network
     expansion.

          On October 23, 1996, TCGI announced its agreement to acquire, via a
     two-step transaction, ETC for approximately $233 million in cash, stock and
     assumed debt (See Note 5 - Subsequent Event).  This transaction will be
     funded with proceeds from the Offerings.

          The Company has incurred significant net operating losses resulting
     from the development and operation of new networks.  TCGI expects that such
     losses may continue to increase as TCGI emphasizes the development,
     construction and expansion of its networks and builds its customer base and
     that while cash provided by operations may be sufficient to fund modest
     incremental growth it may not be sufficient to fund the extensive expansion
     and development of networks as currently planned.

          Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended
     September 30, 1996 and 1995 was $1.1 billion and $125.8 million,
     respectively, comprised primarily of proceeds from the Offerings, as well
     as borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement for the nine months
     ended September 30, 1996 and borrowings under the Revolving  Credit
     Agreement and the Stockholder Loan Agreement for the nine months ended
     September 30, 1995.  Net cash provided by operating activities was $6.4
     million and $21.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and
     1995, respectively.  Net operating cash provided decreased for the nine
     months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to the similar period in 1995,
     primarily due to funding requirements of the recently consolidated Local
     Market Partnerships.  Net cash used for investing activities was $784.5
     million and $160.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and
     1995, respectively.  As of September 30, 1996, cash and cash equivalents
     were $376.7 million and short term marketable securities were $544.7
     million.

          On a pro forma basis, TCGI made capital expenditures of $230.0 million
     and $203.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995,
     respectively.  The Company anticipates that capital expenditures will be
     approximately $375 million in the aggregate in 1996 and between $450 and
     $475 million in the aggregate in 1997, primarily for the expansion,
     development and construction of its networks, the acquisition and
     deployment of switches and the expansion of operating support systems.

          For the nine months ended September 30, 1996, TCGI has expanded its
     route and fiber miles by 15% and 25%, respectively.  The Company has also
     increased the metropolitan areas and the buildings its serves by 15% and
     44%, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 1996.

          The Company believes that the net proceeds from the Offerings and the
     amount of credit available under the Revolving Credit Agreement will be
     adequate for its 1996 and 1997 funding requirements.  However, the
     Company's financing strategy is to remain financially flexible to market
     opportunities which are consistent with the Company's long range growth
     plans.

          The incurrence of long term indebtedness by TCGI in an amount in
     excess of $1 billion had been subject to certain state regulatory approvals
     in New York and New Jersey.  The Company filed petitions for orders from
     such state regulatory authorities to permit TCGI to expand TCGI's borrowing
     authority to $2 billion.  Both the New York and New Jersey state regulatory
     authorities approved these petitions in the third quarter of 1996.

          The Company from time to time evaluates acquisitions and investments
     in light of the Company's long range plans.  The Company may have future
     opportunities with certain of its Cable Stockholders to invest in
     additional markets as a minority partner or shareholder as well as
     opportunities as a managing partner or controlling shareholder in new or
     existing telecommunications ventures which are consistent with the
     Company's business plans (See Note 4 - Reorganization).  The Company
     expects to continue to build on its existing relationships with cable
     television providers and other strategic customers, suppliers and
     telecommunications carriers.  Such

           FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - CONTINUED

     acquisitions, investments and strategic arrangements, if available, could
     use a material portion of the Company's financial resources following the
     Offerings and may accelerate the need for raising additional capital in the
     future.

          Earnings before fixed charges were insufficient to cover fixed charges
     for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, by $72.9 million and
     $36.0 million, respectively.  On a pro forma basis, the Company's earnings
     would have been insufficient to cover fixed charges for the nine months
     ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 by $84.9 million and $45.4 million,
     respectively.

          For a period of time, the Company will have excess liquidity as a
     result of the Offerings.  The Company has invested these funds in short
     term, interest bearing  money market funds until used to fund the capital
     investments and operating needs of the Company's business.

          On August 8, 1996, the Federal Communications Commission ("the FCC")
     released  an order and associated rules to implement Sections 251 and 252
     of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 which govern the interconnection of
     competitive local exchange carriers ("CLECs"), such as TCGI, and the
     incumbent local exchange carriers ("ILECs").  On October 15, 1996, the
     United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit granted a stay of the
     pricing aspects of the FCC's rules, in response to requests filed by ILECs
     and state public utility commissions.  On November 1, 1996, the Court
     lifted a portion of the stay insofar as it applied to wireless carriers.
     The FCC rules at issue are intended to govern the arbitration actions to be
     conducted by state public utility commissions in the event that a CLEC and
     ILEC cannot voluntarily negotiate an interconnection arrangement.  TCGI
     does not believe that the stay of the FCC's rules will have a material
     adverse impact on the Company.  The court's review of the FCC's rules will
     continue into early 1997, with a decision to be released thereafter.  TCGI
     has negotiated interconnection arrangements with BellSouth Corp. (covering
     nine states), Pacific Bell (covering California), and NYNEX (governing New
     York State).  TCGI continues to negotiate with GTE Corp., Southern New
     England Telecommunications Corp. and ILECs and has conducted arbitrations
     in 20 states.  Final arbitration decisions are due to be released by
     November 8, 1996 for the ILEC arbitrations.  Until the negotiations or
     arbitrations are concluded, and implementing interconnection agreements
     between TCG and the ILECs have been approved by the state public utility
     commissions,  it is not possible to determine whether and to what degree
     the negotiations or arbitrations will affect TCGI's operations.

     issued and outstanding 27,608,063 shares of Class A Common Stock.

          Each share of Class A Common Stock entitles the holder to one vote and
     each share of Class B common stock entitles the holder to 10 votes on each
     matter to be voted upon by the holders of the Common Stock.
