                     KNOLOGY HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



                                  JUNE 30, 1998
                                   (UNAUDITED)



1.       NATURE OF BUSINESS

         KNOLOGY Holdings, Inc. ("KNOLOGY") and its subsidiaries (collectively,
         the "Company") provides residential and business customers broadband
         communications services ("Broadband Services"), including cable
         television, local and long distance telephone and high-speed Internet
         access service. The Company provides these Broadband Services using
         high-capacity hybrid fiber-coaxial networks that are two-way
         interactive ("Interactive Broadband Networks"). The Company currently
         operates Interactive Broadband Networks in three cities, Montgomery,
         Alabama, Columbus, Georgia and Panama City Beach, Florida. The Company
         is expanding and upgrading the networks in these three cities and has
         begun construction of Interactive Broadband Networks in Augusta,
         Georgia and Charleston, South Carolina. The Company also plans to
         expand to additional mid-sized cities in the southeastern United
         States. KNOLOGY has been providing cable television service since 1995
         and commenced providing telephone and high-speed Internet access
         service in July 1997.


2.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
         of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
         accounting principles for interim financial information and with the
         instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.
         Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes
         required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
         financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
         considered necessary for the fair presentation of the financial
         statements have been included, and the financial statements present
         fairly the financial position and results of operations for the interim
         periods presented. Operating results for the three months and six
         months ended June 30, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the
         results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 1998.
         These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
         Company's 1997 Annual Report on Form 10-K including the 1997
         consolidated financial statements with footnotes. Certain prior year
         amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current
         presentation.


3.       NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

         During 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
         of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 131, "Disclosure About
         Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" effective for fiscal
         years beginning after December 15, 1997. Interim period reporting is
         not required in the initial year of adoption. Management is currently
         studying the impact that SFAS No. 131 will have on its financial
         statement disclosures.

                                       5

         The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued Statement
         of Position ("SOP") No. 98-5 on "Reporting on the Costs of Start-up
         Activities". SOP 98-5 requires that all nongovernmental entities
         expense costs of start-up activities, including pre-opening and
         organization activities, as the costs are incurred. SOP 98-5 must be
         adopted in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1998. The Company
         will adopt SOP 98-5 effective January 1, 1999 at which time it will
         write off any unamortized costs recorded as start-up activity. The
         impact of adopting SOP 98-5 may have a material effect on the Company's
         financial statements.


4.       COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

         During 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
         SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income", which the Company
         adopted as of January 1, 1997. SFAS No. 130 requires the Company to
         report in their financial statements, in addition to its net income
         (loss), comprehensive income (loss), which includes all changes in
         equity during a period from non-owner sources including, as applicable,
         foreign currency items, minimum pension liability adjustments and
         unrealized gains and losses on certain investments in debt and equity
         securities. The Company's unrealized loss on marketable securities for
         the six months ended June 30, 1998 and the year ended December 31, 1997
         is reported in the Stockholders' Equity section of the Company's
         Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.


5.       ACQUISITION OF TTE, INC.

         On June 1, 1998 the Company acquired TTE, Inc., a non-facilities based
         reseller of local, long distance and operator services to small and
         medium-sized business customers throughout South Carolina, for a
         purchase price of $1.3 million. The acquisition has been accounted for
         under the purchase method of accounting.


6.       SUBSEQUENT EVENT

         On June 22, 1998, ITC Holding Company, Inc. ("ITC") made an offer to
         acquire outstanding shares of KNOLOGY in exchange for $100 in cash and
         ITC Common Stock valued at $1,600 for each share of KNOLOGY Preferred
         Stock exchanged (the "Exchange"). The Exchange was completed effective
         July 31, 1998. Prior to the exchange, ITC (through its wholly owned
         subsidiaries) owned approximately 42% of the outstanding stock of
         KNOLOGY, representing the largest stockholder of the Company. As a
         result of the exchange, ITC owns approximately 85% of the outstanding
         stock of KNOLOGY.





ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
          AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THIS REPORT CONTAINS CERTAIN FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS THAT INVOLVE RISKS AND
UNCERTAINTIES. IN ADDITION, MEMBERS OF THE COMPANY'S SENIOR MANAGEMENT MAY, FROM
TIME TO TIME, MAKE CERTAIN FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS CONCERNING THE COMPANY'S
OPERATIONS, PERFORMANCE AND OTHER DEVELOPMENTS. THE COMPANY'S ACTUAL RESULTS
COULD DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THOSE ANTICIPATED IN SUCH FORWARD-LOOKING
STATEMENTS AS A RESULT OF VARIOUS FACTORS, INCLUDING THOSE SET FORTH UNDER THE
CAPTION "BUSINESS-RISK FACTORS" IN THE COMPANY'S ANNUAL REPORT ON FORM 10-K FOR
1997.

Unless otherwise indicated, dollar amounts over $1 million have been rounded to
one decimal place and dollar amounts less than $1 million have been rounded to
the nearest thousand.

The following analysis should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and the notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report.

Substantially all of the Company's revenues through June 30, 1998 come from its
cable television operations. In July 1997 the Company began to offer Internet
access and telephone service in Montgomery. In Columbus, high-speed Internet
access service was introduced in September 1997 and telephone service was
introduced in the fourth quarter of 1997. The Company plans to offer cable
television, telephone and Internet access services in Panama City, Florida,
Augusta, Georgia and Charleston, South Carolina during the third quarter of
1998.

Subscriber revenues consist of fixed monthly fees for basic and premium cable
television services, as well as fees from pay-per-view movies and events, such
as boxing matches and concerts, which involve a charge for each viewing.
Revenues from the Company's telephone services consist primarily of fixed
monthly fees for local service and enhanced services such as call waiting and
voice mail, and variable fees (billed monthly) for long distance service.
Revenues from Internet access services consist primarily of fixed monthly fees.
Additional revenues are derived from installation services and leases or sales
of equipment such as cable modems. Miscellaneous revenues result principally
from converter rentals, installation fees, franchise fees, and late payment
charges.

The Company's operating expenses through June 30, 1998 consisted of programming
and other charges for cable television, telephone and Internet access services,
general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization expense,
field and technical expenses, customer service expenses and sales and marketing
costs. Programming charges consist primarily of monthly fees to the National
Cable Television Cooperative and other programming providers, and are generally
based on the average number of subscribers to each program. Operating expenses
related to the Company's Internet access and telephone services include
primarily costs of Internet transport and telephone switching, interconnect and
transport charges payable to local and long distance carriers. General and
administrative expenses consist of corporate and subsidiary general management
and administrative costs. Depreciation and amortization include depreciation of
the Company's Interactive Broadband Networks and equipment, and amortization of
cost in excess of net assets and other intangible assets related to
acquisitions. Field and technical expenses include payroll and departmental
costs incurred for network design, maintenance, monitoring and operations,
including pole rental fees. Customer service expenses include payroll and
departmental costs incurred for customer service representatives and management.
Sales and marketing costs include the cost of sales and marketing personnel and
advertising and promotional expenses.



RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 COMPARED WITH THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997

REVENUES. Total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 1998 increased 110%
to $5.0 million, compared to $2.4 million for the three months ended June 30,
1997. The Company generated subscriber revenues of $4.7 million for the three
months ended June 30, 1998, as compared to $2.1 million for the same period in
1997. Miscellaneous revenues were $340,000 and $296,000 for the three months
ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The increased subscriber and
miscellaneous revenues are primarily due to a higher number of cable subscribers
during the three months ended June 30, 1998 compared to the same period in 1997,
and from telephone and Internet access revenues which were not offered by the
Company during the three months ended June 30, 1997. The additional subscribers
are a result of the 

                                       7
<PAGE>   8

Company extending its Broadband networks in the Montgomery and Columbus markets
and the acquisition of Beach Cable in Panama City Beach, Florida in December
1997.

EXPENSES. The Company's operating expenses for the three months ended June 30,
1998 excluding depreciation and amortization, increased to $7.5 million,
compared to $2.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 1997. Programming
and other charges were $2.2 million and $1.1 million which represent 45.9% and
52.5% of subscriber revenues, respectively. General and administrative expenses
were $2.6 million and $505,000, field and technical expenses were $923,000 and
$339,000, customer service expenses were $629,000 and $209,000, and sales and
marketing costs were $1.2 million and $276,000, respectively, for such periods.
The increases in the Company's programming charges are primarily a result of the
Company's increased number of cable subscribers. The increase in general and
administrative expenses, field and technical expenses, customer service expenses
and sales and marketing costs reflect the Company's build-up of personnel,
corporate infrastructure, customer service support and brand development in
connection with the planned growth of the business into Panama City, Charleston,
Augusta and additional new markets in the southeastern region of the United
States.

Depreciation and amortization for the three months ended June 30, 1998 increased
to $1.9 million, compared to $807,000 for the same period in 1997. The increase
in depreciation expense reflects increased capital expenditures during 1997 and
the first half of 1998 to expand the Montgomery and Columbus networks, to
acquire Beach Cable in Panama City Beach and to purchase buildings and computer
and office equipment at the corporate and subsidiary locations.

Interest income for the three months ended June 30, 1998 was $2.9 million,
compared to $24,000 for same period in 1997 and reflects the interest earned
from the investment of certain proceeds received from the issuance of the Senior
Discount Notes (as defined herein) in October 1997.

Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 1998 was $7.1 million,
compared to $296,000 for the same period in 1997 and reflects the accrual of
interest on the Senior Discount Notes issued in October 1997.

NET LOSS. The Company incurred a net loss for the three months ended June 30,
1998 of $8.3 million compared to a net loss of $1.1 million for the three months
ended June 30, 1997 as a result of the increase in expenses during such period.
The Company expects its net losses to continue as the Company continues to
expand its business.



SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 COMPARED WITH SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997

REVENUES. Total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1998 increased 113%
to $9.2 million, compared to $4.3 million for the six months ended June 30,
1997. The Company generated subscriber revenues of $8.3 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1998, as compared to $3.7 million for the same period in
1997. Miscellaneous revenues were $883,000 and $558,000 for the six months ended
June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The increased subscriber and miscellaneous
revenues are primarily due to a higher number of cable subscribers during the
six months ended June 30, 1998 compared to the same period in 1997, and from
telephone and Internet access revenues which were not offered by the Company
during the six months ended June 30, 1997. The additional subscribers are a
result of the Company extending its Broadband networks in the Montgomery and
Columbus markets and the acquisition of Beach Cable in Panama City Beach,
Florida in December 1997.

EXPENSES. The Company's operating expenses for the six months ended June 30,
1998 excluding depreciation and amortization, increased to $13.2 million,
compared to $4.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997. Programming and
other charges were $3.9 million and $2.0 which represent 47.6% and 53.1% of
subscriber revenues, respectively. General and administrative expenses were $4.7
million

and $966,000, field and technical expenses were $1.6 million and $602,000,
customer service expenses were $1.1 million and $382,000, and sales and
marketing costs were $1.9 million and $553,000, respectively, for such periods.
The increases in the Company's programming charges are primarily a result of the
Company's increased number of cable subscribers. The increase in general and
administrative expenses, field and technical expenses, customer service expenses
and sales and marketing costs reflect the Company's build-up of personnel,
corporate infrastructure, customer service support and brand development in
connection with the planned growth of the business into Panama City, Charleston,
Augusta and additional new markets in the southeastern region of the United
States.

Depreciation and amortization for the six months ended June 30, 1998 increased
to $3.6 million, compared to $1.4 million for the same period in 1997. The
increase in depreciation expense reflects increased capital expenditures during
1997 and the first half of 1998 to expand the Montgomery and Columbus networks,
to acquire Beach Cable in Panama City Beach and to purchase buildings and
computer and office equipment at the corporate and subsidiary locations.

Interest income for the six months ended June 30, 1998 was $6.1 million,
compared to $66,000 for same period in 1997 and reflects the interest earned
from the investment of certain proceeds received from the issuance of the Senior
Discount Notes (as defined herein) in October 1997.

Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 1998 was $14.0 million,
compared to $593,000 for the same period in 1997 and reflects the accrual of
interest on the Senior Discount Notes issued in October 1997.

NET LOSS. The Company incurred a net loss for the six months ended June 30, 1998
of $15.4 million compared to a net loss of $2.1 million for the six months ended
June 30, 1997 as a result of the increase in expenses during such period. The
Company expects its net losses to continue as the Company continues to expand
its business.



LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of June 30, 1998, the Company had net working capital of $186.7 million,
compared to $226.8 million at December 31, 1997.

The Company has required significant capital for operating and investing
activities in the development of its business. For the six months ended June 30,
1998, the Company provided approximately $5.1 million in cash flows from
operating activities and used approximately $8.2 million in cash flows from
investing activities. The Company's investing activities for the six months
ended June 30, 1998 primarily consisted of $43.1 million of capital expenditures
which were funded primarily by proceeds from the sale of marketable securities
of $34.9 million.

On October 22, 1997, the Company received net proceeds of approximately $242.4
million from the offering of Senior Discount Notes (the "Offering"). The Notes
were sold at a substantial discount from their principal amount at maturity and
there will not be any payment of interest on the Notes prior to April 15, 2003.
The Notes will fully accrete to face value of $444.1 million on October 15,
2002. From and after October 15, 2002, the Notes will bear interest, which will
be payable in cash, at a rate of 11-7/8% per annum on April 15 and October 15 of
each year, commencing April 15, 2003. The Indenture contains certain covenants
that affect, and in certain cases significantly limit or prohibit, among other
things, the ability of the Company to incur indebtedness, pay dividends, prepay
subordinated indebtedness, redeem capital stock, make investments, engage in
transactions with stockholders and affiliates, create liens, sell assets and
engage in mergers and consolidations. If the Company fails to comply with these
covenants, the Company's obligation to repay the Notes may be accelerated.
However, these limitations are subject to a number of important qualifications
and exceptions. In particular, while the Indenture restricts the 

                                       9

Company's ability to incur additional indebtedness by requiring compliance with
specified leverage ratios, it permits the Company and its subsidiaries to incur
an unlimited amount of indebtedness to finance the acquisition of equipment,
inventory and network assets and to secure such indebtedness, and to incur up to
$50.0 million of additional secured indebtedness. Upon a "Change of Control" of
the Company (as defined in the Indenture), the Company will be required to make
an offer to purchase the Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the Accreted
Value thereof, plus accrued interest.

In connection with the Offering, the Company completed an equity private
placement, pursuant to which the Company issued approximately 21,400 additional
shares of Preferred Stock at $1,500 per share for aggregate proceeds of
approximately $32.2 million.

The Company's business requires substantial investment to finance capital
expenditures and related expenses to expand the Interactive Broadband Networks
in Montgomery and Columbus, to construct additional Interactive Broadband
Networks, to fund subscriber equipment, to fund operating deficits in new
systems until it builds its customer base and to maintain the quality of its
networks. The Company currently expects to spend at least $78.4 million during
1998 to expand and upgrade the Montgomery, Columbus and Panama City Beach
networks and to commence construction of networks in Augusta, Charleston and
Panama City. In addition, the Company estimates the cost of constructing
networks in additional cities and funding initial subscriber equipment at
approximately $35 million to $50 million per city. Actual costs may vary
significantly from this range and will depend in part on the number of miles of
network to be constructed, the geographic and demographic characteristics of the
city, other factors affecting construction costs, costs associated with the
cable franchise in each city, the number of subscribers, the mix of services
purchased, the cost of subscriber equipment paid for or financed by the Company
and other factors. The Company expects to enter into purchase agreements through
1998 in the ordinary course of business for programming services and
construction related services to expand its service offerings and to expand and
upgrade the Systems. Although there can be no assurance, the Company believes
that present cash reserves, cash flow from operations and amounts expected to be
available under a $50 million credit facility currently under negotiation will
provide sufficient funds to expand the Systems as currently planned and fund the
expansion into Panama City Beach/Panama City, Charleston and Augusta. The
Company may need to seek additional financing in the event the credit facility
is not entered into or actual costs vary. In addition, the Company will need
additional financing to expand into additional cities for new business
activities or in the event it decides to make additional acquisitions.
