(1)    STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTING PRESENTATIONS AND OTHER INFORMATION

FrontierVision  Operating  Partners,  L.P. (the "Company") is a Delaware limited
partnership  formed on July 14, 1995 for the purpose of acquiring  and operating
cable  television  systems.  As of June 30, 1997, the Company owned and operated
cable television systems in three primary operating clusters - New England, Ohio
and Kentucky - with a fourth,  smaller group of cable television  systems in the
Southeast.   The  Company  was  initially  capitalized  in  November  1995  with
approximately  $38 from  its  sole  limited  partner,  FrontierVision  Operating
Partners, Inc. ("FVOP Inc."), a Delaware corporation,  and approximately $38,300
from its sole general partner, FrontierVision Partners, L.P. ("FVP"), a Delaware
limited  partnership.  FVOP Inc. is a wholly owned subsidiary of FVP. During the
period from January 1, 1997 to June 30, 1997,  the Company  received  additional
capital contributions of approximately $37,676 from its partners.  FVP allocates
certain  administrative   expenses  to  FVOP,  which  are  included  as  capital
contributions  from its partners.  Such expense  allocations were  approximately
$255 for the six months ended June 30, 1997.

FrontierVision  Capital Corporation  ("Capital"),  a Delaware corporation,  is a
wholly owned  subsidiary of the Company,  and was organized on July 26, 1996 for
the sole  purpose  of acting  as  co-issuer  with the  Company  of $200  million
aggregate  principal  amount  of 11%  Senior  Subordinated  Notes  due 2006 (the
"Notes"). Capital has nominal assets and does not have any material operations.

REFERENCE TO ANNUAL REPORT

The attached interim  financial  statements are presented in accordance with the
requirements  of Form 10-Q and  consequently  do not include all the disclosures
required by generally accepted accounting principles. The accompanying financial
statements  should be read in  conjunction  with the Company's  Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year  ended  December  31,  1996 for  additional  disclosures,
including a summary of the Company's accounting policies.

The following notes, insofar as they are applicable to the six months ended June
30, 1997, are not audited. In management's  opinion, all adjustments  considered
necessary for a fair presentation of such financial  statements are included and
all such adjustments are of a normal and recurring  nature.  The results for the
six-month  period  ended June 30,  1997 are not  necessarily  indicative  of the
results for the entire 1997 fiscal year.

RECLASSIFICATIONS

Certain 1996 amounts have been reclassified for comparative purposes.


(2)      ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS

The Company has completed several  acquisitions since its inception through June
30, 1997.  All of the  acquisitions  have been  accounted for using the purchase
method of accounting, and, accordingly, the purchase price has been allocated to
the assets  acquired  and  liabilities  assumed  based  upon fair  values at the
respective dates of acquisition.  The following table lists the acquisitions and
the purchase price allocation for each.

</TABLE>

(a)      Bank Credit Facility.

         The Company has an Amended and Restated  Credit  Facility  (the "Senior
         Credit  Facility")  which  includes a $75.0  million  revolving  credit
         facility  ("Revolving  Credit  Facility"),  a $100.0  million term loan
         ("Facility  A Term Loan") and a $90.0  million  term loan  ("Facility B
         Term Loan"). The Facility A Term Loan and the Revolving Credit Facility
         both mature on June 30,  2004.  Escalating  principal  payments are due
         quarterly  beginning  September 30, 1998 under the Facility A Term Loan
         with quarterly  principal  reductions of the Revolving  Credit Facility
         also  beginning  September  30, 1998.  The Facility B Term Loan matures
         June 30, 2005 with 91% of the  principal  being repaid in the last four
         quarters of the term of the facility.

         Under the terms of the Senior Credit Facility, with certain exceptions,
         the Company has a mandatory prepayment  obligation upon any sale of new
         partnership  interests  and the sale of any of its  operating  systems.
         Further,  beginning with the year ending December 31, 1998, the Company
         is required to make  prepayments  equal to 50% of its excess cash flow,
         as  defined  in the  Senior  Credit  Facility.  The  Company  also pays
         commitment fees of 1/2% per annum, on the average unborrowed portion of
         the total  amount  available  for  borrowings  under the Senior  Credit
         Facility.

         The Senior  Credit  Facility  also  requires  the  Company to  maintain
         compliance with various financial covenants including,  but not limited
         to, covenants  relating to total  indebtedness,  debt ratios,  interest
         coverage  ratio,  fixed charges  ratio,  and capital  expenditures.  In
         addition,  the  Senior  Credit  Facility  has  restrictions  on certain
         partnership  distributions  by the Company.  As of June 30,  1997,  the
         Company was in compliance  with the  financial  covenants of the Senior
         Credit Facility.

         All partnership  interests in the Company and all assets of the Company
         and its  subsidiary  are pledged as  collateral  for the Senior  Credit
         Facility.

(3)    DEBT (continued)

         In order to convert  certain of the interest  payable at variable rates
         under the Senior  Credit  Facility  to  interest  at fixed  rates,  the
         Company has entered into  interest  rate swap  agreements  for notional
         amounts totaling  $170,000,  and maturing between November 15, 1999 and
         October 7, 2000.  According  to these  agreements,  the Company pays or
         receives the difference between (1) an average fixed rate of 5.932% and
         (2)  various  available  floating  rate  options  applied  to the  same
         $170,000  notional  amount  every three  months  during the term of the
         interest rate swap agreement.  For the six-month  period ended June 30,
         1997,  the Company had  recognized  an increase in interest  expense of
         approximately $232 as a result of these interest rate swap agreements.

(b)      Senior Subordinated Notes

         On October 7, 1996, the Company  issued,  pursuant to a public offering
         (the "Offering"), $200,000 aggregate principal amount of the Notes. Net
         proceeds  from the Offering of $192,500,  after costs of  approximately
         $7,500, were available to the Company on October 7, 1996.

         In connection with the anticipated  issuance of the Notes in connection
         with the  Offering,  the Company  entered into  deferred  interest rate
         setting  agreements to reduce the  Company's  interest rate exposure in
         anticipation  of  issuing  the  Notes.  The  cost of  such  agreements,
         amounting  to $1,390,  will be  recognized  as a component  of interest
         expense over the term of the Notes.

         The  Notes  are  unsecured  subordinated  obligations  of  the  Company
         (co-issued  by  Capital)  that  mature on October  15,  2006.  Interest
         accrues at 11% per annum  beginning  from the date of issuance,  and is
         payable each April 15 and October 15, commencing April 15, 1997.

         The  Subordinated   Notes  Indenture  (the   "Indenture")  has  certain
         restrictions  on incurrence of  indebtedness,  distributions,  mergers,
         asset sales and changes in control of the Company.

(c)      Subordinated Promissory Note to UVC

         The  subordinated  promissory  note to UVC, dated November 9, 1995 (the
         "UVC Note"), bears interest at 9% for the first three years. At the end
         of each  subsequent  year,  the annual  interest rate  increases 2% per
         year. Under the terms of the UVC Note, the Company may issue additional
         subordinated   promissory   notes  rather  than  making  cash  interest
         payments.  In this  event,  the UVC Note  bears  interest  equal to the
         annual interest of the original promissory note plus 2.5% for the first
         three years and 3% for each of the subsequent  years.  Further,  in the
         event the Company's  leverage ratio exceeds certain specified  amounts,
         the  interest  rate also  increases  by 2%.  Under the terms of the UVC
         Note, the Company can prepay the balance at any time.

In October 1992,  Congress enacted the Cable Television Consumer and Competition
Act of 1992 (the "1992  Cable  Act") which  greatly  expanded  federal and local
regulation  of the  cable  television  industry.  In  April  1993,  the  Federal
Communications Commission ("FCC") adopted comprehensive  regulations,  effective
September 1, 1993,  governing  rates charged to subscribers  for basic cable and
cable  programming  services which allowed cable operators to justify  regulated
rates in excess of the FCC benchmarks  through cost of service  showings at both
the  franchising  authority  level  for  basic  service  and at the FCC level in
response to complaints  on rates for cable  programming  services.  The FCC also
adopted  comprehensive and restrictive  regulations allowing operators to modify
their regulated rates on a quarterly or annual basis using various methodologies
that account for the changes in the number of regulated channels, inflation, and
increases in certain  external costs,  such as franchise and other  governmental
fees,  copyright and  retransmission  consent fees, taxes,  programming fees and
franchise related obligations.  The FCC has also adopted regulations that permit
qualifying  small  cable  operators  to  justify  their  regulated  service  and
equipment rates using a simplified  cost-of-service formula. For a more detailed
discussion of these matters,  see "Legislation and Regulation" and Note 7 to the
Company's consolidated financial statements in its Form 10-K for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 1996.

(4)    COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (continued)

As a result of such actions,  the Company's 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. The Company believes
that  it  has  complied  in all  material  respects  with  the  rate  regulation
provisions  of the federal  law.  However,  the  Company's  rates for  Regulated
Services are subject to review by the FCC, if a complaint has been filed,  or by
the  appropriate  franchise  authority if it is certified by the FCC to regulate
basic 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

During the third  quarter of 1996,  the Company  sold  systems  serving,  in the
aggregate, approximately 10,400 basic subscribers located in Chatsworth, Georgia
and Woodstock and New Market,  Virginia for  aggregate  disposition  proceeds of
approximately $15.0 million.

As of June 30, 1997, the Company's currently owned cable television systems (the
"Existing Systems") passed approximately  559,300 homes and served approximately
390,350 basic  subscribers.  The Company has operated the Existing Systems for a
limited  period of time and had no  operations  prior to November  9, 1995.  All
acquisitions  have been  accounted  for under the purchase  method of accounting
and,  therefore,  the Company's  historical  results of  operations  include the
results of operations  for each  acquired  system  subsequent to its  respective
acquisition date.

As of August 14, 1997, the Company had entered into additional letters of intent
or asset  purchase  agreements  to acquire  certain  cable  television  systems,
primarily located in Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky and
Tennessee,  in eight  separate  transactions,  for  aggregate  consideration  of
approximately  $374.9 million. The transactions are expected to close during the
fourth  quarter of 1997.  These  transactions  are subject to customary  closing
conditions and certain  regulatory  approvals that are not completely within the
Company's  control.  The Company is  currently  in the  process of securing  the
incremental  financing needed to consummate these  acquisitions.  See Note 2 for
more detailed  descriptions of the transactions  under asset purchase  agreement
and Note 5 for more detailed  descriptions of the  transactions  under letter of
intent. The Company intends to raise additional equity capital as well as secure
additional debt,  substantially  maintaining its current relative debt to EBITDA
and interest expense ratios.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The three  month  period  ended  June 30,  1997 is the only  period in which the
Company  operated all of the Existing  Systems,  although  certain  systems (the
Triax I Systems and the Front Row Systems) were purchased  during the period and
are  reflected  only for that portion of the period that such systems were owned
by the  Company.  The  three-month  period ended March 31, 1997  represents  the
integration of all of the Existing Systems (except for the Triax I and Front Row
Systems),  although  certain  systems  (the  Bluegrass  Systems,  the  Milestone
Systems,  and the Clear/B&G  Systems) were  purchased  during the period and are
reflected  only for that  portion of the period that such  systems were owned by
the Company.

As a result of the Company's  limited  operating  history,  the Company believes
that its results of operations for the  three-month  periods ended June 30, 1997
and March 31, 1997,  and the six-month  periods ended June 30, 1997 and June 30,
1996 are not indicative of the Company's results of operations in the future.

 (a)EBITDA is defined as net income before  interest,  taxes,  depreciation  and
    amortization.  The Company  believes that EBITDA is a meaningful  measure of
    performance  because it is commonly used in the cable television industry to
    analyze and compare  cable  television  companies  on the basis of operating
    performance,  leverage and  liquidity.  In addition,  the  Company's  Senior
    Credit  Facility and Note Indenture  contain certain  covenants,  compliance
    with which is measured by computations  substantially  similar to those used
    in determining EBITDA.  However,  EBITDA is not intended to be a performance
    measure that should be regarded as an alternative to either operating income
    or net income as an indicator of operating performance or to cash flows as a
    measure of liquidity,  as determined in accordance  with generally  accepted
    accounting principles.

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997

Revenue increased 8.0%, or approximately  $2.5 million,  to approximately  $34.1
million  for the three  months  ended  June 30,  1997 from  approximately  $31.6
million for the three  months  ended March 31,  1997.  Operating  and  



                                       20
<PAGE>

corporate expenses increased approximately 5.3% and 4.7%, respectively,  for the
three months ended June 30, 1997 from the three months ended March 31, 1997. The
number of basic subscribers  increased  approximately 7.7% from 362,350 at March
31, 1997 to 390,350 as of June 30, 1997, while the number of pay units increased
approximately 10.0% from 149,500 to 164,500 over the three-month period.

Significant  growth  over the first  quarter of 1997 in revenue,  operating  and
corporate expenses, basic subscribers and pay units is primarily attributable to
the Company's  acquisition  of cable systems  during March and May of 1997.  The
Company's  primary  focus over the  twelve-month  period ended June 30, 1997 has
been to achieve  critical  mass  through  acquisitions,  to  establish  its core
geography  and to begin the  consolidation  of  operations.  By early 1998,  the
Company  expects  to reach its  growth  objective  of  acquiring  geographically
concentrated  cable  systems  serving  at least  500,000  basic  subscribers  in
operating clusters of 100,000 or more subscribers each.

As its operations base has developed, the Company has increased its focus on the
integration  of business  operations to achieve  efficiencies,  the  significant
investment in technical plant and the promotion of new and existing  services to
enhance  revenues.  In the second  quarter of 1997, the Company has continued to
progress  in certain  phases of these  objectives,  and the impact of certain of
these  efforts has resulted in the increase in EBITDA  margin  during the second
quarter of 1997.  The Company's  EBITDA margin  increased to 45.1% for the three
months ended June 30, 1997 from 43.6% for the three months ended March 31, 1997.
On a pro forma  basis,  adjusted  to include the  results of  operations  of the
systems   acquired  during  the  quarter,   the  Company's   revenue   increased
approximately  2.4% and EBITDA  increased  approximately  4.4% from the  quarter
ended March 31, 1997.

The Company  consummated  two  acquisitions  during the second  quarter of 1997,
acquiring cable systems serving,  in the aggregate,  approximately  25,900 basic
subscribers in Ohio and Michigan.  The Company is integrating employees from the
predecessor  owners and is in the process of  reducing  employee  staffing  from
pre-acquisition levels. The Company has completed the conversion of two separate
billing systems for these two acquisitions into its automated billing system and
centralized  database and will serve the customers associated with these systems
from its regional customer service center in Chillicothe, Ohio.

The Company  continues the process of rebuilding and upgrading  certain systems,
completing line extensions and consolidating  headends.  The Company had capital
expenditures  of  approximately  $4.9 million  during the second quarter of 1997
related to its  technical  enhancement  activities.  The Company  completed  its
rebuild  of the  Winchester,  Kentucky  system to a 750 MHz  design in the first
quarter of 1997 and received  approximately 11,000 addressable converters during
the second  quarter  which are being  distributed  throughout  the  system.  The
Company also expended  significant  capital for the headend  equipment needed to
launch  additional  channels  contemporaneously  with the service rate increases
anticipated  over the course of 1997 and  initiated  the process of  significant
rebuild/upgrade  activity  primarily  in its  New  England  and  Ohio  operating
clusters.  The  Company is at varying  stages of  completion  on eight  separate
upgrade/rebuild  projects in systems  serving,  in the aggregate,  approximately
37,500  basic  subscribers.  During the  second  quarter  of 1997,  the  Company
completed the consolidation of one headend facility and initiated the process of
eliminating additional headend facilities.

In June, the Company installed HITS (Headend-in-the-Sky)  headend equipment in a
system in its New England  cluster.  The Company has installed  digital terminal
equipment  in the homes of certain  customers  and  commenced  testing  the HITS
digital television  system. The Company  anticipates a two-month testing period,
at the completion of which the Company will hold a focus group of the test users
and make final  determinations  as to the pricing and  packaging  of the digital
television service to be offered to all of the system's subscribers. The Company
plans to launch the service  commercially  in early fall of 1997. Two additional
HITS  installations  are planned for the third  quarter of 1997 with testing and
commercial launches for those systems scheduled for the subsequent quarter.

In an effort to maximize  revenue  from  existing  subscribers,  the Company has
established  a  centralized,   in-house   telemarketing   center  equipped  with
state-of-the art predictive  dialing and communications  equipment.  The Company
commenced  operations of its centralized  telemarketing center on April 7, 1997,
and is initially focusing 




                                       21
<PAGE>



on telemarketing premium services to its customers in the Company's Ohio and New
England  operating  clusters.  From  opening,  to June 30,  1997,  telemarketers
working  primarily out of the new telemarketing  center contacted  approximately
41,000  of the  Company's  subscribers  located  primarily  in Ohio  and the New
England  clusters,  marketing  the Company's  "Ultimate  TV" package:  a premium
service package  consisting of at least three premium  channels.  Such marketing
efforts  increased  the number of pay units  purchased by those  subscribers  by
approximately  17.4%.  The Company  intends to continue to  aggressively  market
selected premium service packages through its internal telemarketing resources.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996

Revenue increased 138.3%, or approximately $38.1 million, to approximately $65.6
million for the six months ended June 30, 1997 from approximately  $27.5 million
for the six  months  ended  June 30,  1996.  Operating  and  corporate  expenses
increased approximately 152.1% and 62.0%, respectively, for the six months ended
June 30,  1997 from the six  months  ended  June 30,  1996.  The number of basic
subscribers  increased  approximately  79.1% from  217,900  at June 30,  1996 to
390,350  as  of  June  30,  1997,  while  the  number  of  pay  units  increased
approximately 80.2% from 91,300 to 164,500 over the twelve-month period.

Significant  growth  in  revenue,   operating  and  corporate  expenses,   basic
subscribers and pay units is primarily attributable to the Company's acquisition
of cable systems in ten separate transactions.  The Company's primary focus over
the  twelve-month  period ended June 30, 1997, has been to achieve critical mass
through  acquisitions,  to  establish  its  core  geography  and  to  begin  the
consolidation of operations.

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996

Revenue increased 91.9%, or approximately  $16.3 million, to approximately $34.1
million  for the three  months  ended  June 30,  1997 from  approximately  $17.8
million  for the three  months  ended June 30,  1996.  Operating  and  corporate
expenses increased  approximately 96.9% and 50.8%,  respectively,  for the three
months  ended  June 30,  1997  from  the  three  months  ended  June  30,  1996.
Significant  growth in revenue,  operating and  corporate  expenses is primarily
attributable  to the  Company's  acquisition  of cable  systems in ten  separate
acquisitions.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The cable television  business  generally requires  substantial  capital for the
construction, expansion and maintenance of the delivery system. In addition, the
Company has pursued,  and intends to pursue in the future,  a business  strategy
which  includes   selective   acquisitions.   The  Company  has  financed  these
expenditures to date through a combination of cash from operations, indebtedness
and equity capital. The Company intends to continue to finance such expenditures
in the future through these same sources.

The Company has  entered  into a $265.0  million  Amended  and  Restated  Credit
Agreement  (the "Senior  Credit  Facility")  with The Chase  Manhattan  Bank, as
Administrative  Agent, J.P. Morgan  Securities Inc., as Syndication  Agent, CIBC
Inc., as Managing Agent,  and the other lenders  signatory  thereto.  The Senior
Credit Facility includes a $75.0 million,  8.25-year  reducing  revolving credit
facility (the "Revolving  Credit  Facility"),  a $100.0 million,  8.25-year term
loan (the "Facility A Term Loan") and a $90.0 million,  9.25-year term loan (the
"Facility  B Term  Loan").  At June 30,  1997,  the  Company  had $30.5  million
outstanding  under the Revolving  Credit  Facility,  $100.0 million  outstanding
under the Facility A Term Loan and $90.0 million  outstanding under the Facility
B Term  Loan.  The  weighted  average  interest  rates at June  30,  1997 on the
outstanding  borrowings under the Revolving  Credit Facility were  approximately
8.19%,  and under the  Facility  A Term Loan and the  Facility  B Term Loan were
approximately  8.19% and 8.94%,  respectively.  The  Company  has  entered  into
interest rate protection  agreements to hedge the underlying LIBOR rate exposure
for $170.0 million of borrowings through November 1999 and October 2000. For 




                                       22
<PAGE>



the  three-month  period  ended June 30,  1997,  the Company had  recognized  an
increase  to  interest  expense  of  approximately  $72,000 as a result of these
interest rate swap agreements.

In general,  the Senior Credit Facility requires the Company to use the proceeds
from any equity or subordinated debt issuance or any cable system disposition to
reduce  indebtedness  for  borrowings  under the Senior  Credit  Facility and to
reduce  permanently  commitments  thereunder,   subject  to  certain  exceptions
permitting  the  Company  to  use  such  proceeds  to  fund  certain   permitted
acquisitions,  provided  that the Company is  otherwise is  compliance  with the
terms of the Senior Credit Facility.

The Senior  Credit  Facility  is secured by a pledge of all  limited and general
partnership  interests in the Company and in any subsidiaries of the Company and
a first priority lien on all the tangible and  intangible  assets of the Company
and each of its  subsidiaries.  In addition,  in the event of the occurrence and
continuance  of an event of  default  under  the  Senior  Credit  Facility,  the
Administrative  Agent is entitled to replace the general  partner of the Company
with its designee.

On October 7, 1996, the Company issued $200.0 million aggregate principal amount
of 11% Senior  Subordinated  Notes due 2006 (the  "Notes").  The Notes mature on
October  15,  2006  and  bear  interest  at  11%,  with  interest  payments  due
semiannually  commencing on April 15, 1997.  The Company paid its first interest
payment of $11.5  million on April 15,  1997.  The Notes are  general  unsecured
obligations  of the  Company  and rank  subordinate  in right of  payment to all
existing and any future senior indebtedness.  In anticipation of the issuance of
the Notes, the Company entered into deferred interest rate setting agreements to
reduce the interest rate exposure related to the Notes. The financial  statement
effect of these agreements will be to increase the effective interest rate which
the Company incurs over the life of the Notes.

In addition, in connection with the acquisition of the ACE Systems and the Triax
Systems,  FrontierVision  Partners,  L.P.  ("FVP"),  the Company's  sole general
partner,  received additional equity commitments of approximately $76.0 million.
As of June 30, 1997, all of such equity commitments had been invested in FVP and
FVP had contributed substantially all of such equity investments to the Company.
During  the  six-month   period  ended  June  30,  1997,  the  Company  received
approximately  $37.7 million of equity  contributions  from its  partners.  Such
equity  contributions  and  senior  debt,  along with cash flow  generated  from
operations,  has been sufficient to finance capital improvement projects as well
as acquisitions. The Company has adequately serviced its debt in accordance with
the provisions of the Senior Credit Facility from EBITDA of approximately  $29.1
million generated by the Company for the six-month period ended June 30, 1997.

In connection  with the  acquisition  of the UVC Systems,  the Company  issued a
subordinated note to UVC in the aggregate  principal amount of $7.2 million (the
"UVC Note"). The Company may repay the UVC Note at any time.
However, as of August 14, 1997, the UVC Note had not yet been repaid.

CASH FLOWS FROM OPERATING ACTIVITIES

Cash flows from operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 1997 were
$9.1  million  compared to $7.2  million for the six months ended June 30, 1996.
The  increase  was  primarily  a result of cable  television  system  operations
acquired during 1996 and 1997.




                                       23
<PAGE>


CASH FLOWS FROM INVESTING ACTIVITIES

Investing  cash flows  were  primarily  used to fund  capital  expenditures  and
acquire cable television systems.  Capital expenditures for the six-month period
ended June 30, 1997 were  approximately  $9.9 million  compared to approximately
$3.4 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 1996. Capital  expenditures
primarily  consisted of expenditures  for the  construction and expansion of the
delivery system,  and additional costs were incurred related to the expansion of
customer service facilities.  In addition, the Company capitalized approximately
$0.4 million attributable to the cost of obtaining certain franchise,  leasehold
and other long-term  agreements.  The Company expects  to spend in excess of $49
million  over  the next two  years  for  capital  improvement  related  projects
consisting  primarily  of  installation  of (i) fiber optic cable and  microwave
links which will allow for the anticipated  reduction in the number of headends,
(ii)  analog and  digital  converter  boxes which will allow the Company to more
effectively  market  premium and  pay-per-view  services and (iii) the continued
deployment  of coaxial  cable to  build-out  the Existing  Systems.  The Company
invested approximately $55.5 million in acquisitions during the six months ended
June 30, 1997 compared with approximately  $178.8 million for the same period in
1996.

CASH FLOWS FROM FINANCING ACTIVITIES

Acquisitions  during the first half of 1997 were financed  primarily with equity
contributions from the Company's partners; acquisitions during the first half of
1996 were financed  primarily with  borrowings  under the Senior Credit Facility
and, to a lesser extent, with equity contributions from the Company's partners.
