ITEM 4.           CHANGES IN REGISTRANTS' CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANTS.


         (a)      Previous Independent Accountants.

                  (i)   On February 10, 2000, the Registrants dismissed Ernst &
                        Young LLP, which served as the Registrants' principal
                        independent accountants.
                  (ii)  The reports of Ernst & Young LLP on the Registrants'
                        financial statements for the two most recent fiscal
                        periods contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of
                        opinion nor were they qualified as to uncertainty, audit
                        scope or accounting principles.
                  (iii) The Registrants' Director participated in and approved
                        the decision to change principal independent
                        accountants. The Registrants do not have an audit
                        committee.
                  (iv)  In connection with its audits for the two most recent
                        fiscal periods and through February 10, 2000, there were
                        no disagreements with Ernst & Young LLP on any matter of
                        accounting principle or practice, financial statement
                        disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which
                        disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of
                        Ernst & Young LLP, would have caused Ernst & Young LLP
                        to make reference thereto in connection with its reports
                        on the financial statements.

         (b)      New Independent Accountants.

              The Registrants engaged Arthur Andersen LLP as its new principal
         independent accountants as of February 10, 2000. The Registrants'
         Director approved such engagement on February 10, 2000.

              Since April 30, 1999, when the Registrants came under the control
         of Charter Communications Holdings, LLC (Charter Holdings), the
         Registrants have consulted with Arthur Andersen LLP regarding the
         application of the principles of purchase accounting resulting from
         Charter Holdings' acquisition of the Registrants. Arthur Andersen LLP
         provided verbal advice to the Registrants' management and did not
         provide a written report. Ernst & Young LLP was not consulted regarding
         such issues.
