This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is for the quarter ended September 30, 2000.
This Quarterly Report modifies and supersedes documents filed prior to this
Quarterly Report. The SEC allows us to "incorporate by reference" information
that we file with them, which means that we can disclose important information
to you by referring you directly to those documents. Information incorporated by
reference is considered to be part of this Quarterly Report. In addition,
information that we file with the SEC in the future will automatically update
and supersede information contained in this Quarterly Report. In this Quarterly
Report, "Classic," "we," "us" and "our" refer to Classic Cable, Inc. and its
subsidiaries.
You should carefully review the information contained in this Quarterly Report,
but should particularly consider any risk factors that we set forth in this
Quarterly Report and in other reports or documents that we file from time to
time with the SEC. The statements, other than statements of historical fact,
included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are forward-looking statements.
These statements include, but are not limited to:
o statements regarding our plans for future acquisitions;
o statements regarding integration of our cable systems and future
acquired systems;
o statements regarding our planned capital expenditures and system
upgrades; and
o statements regarding the offering of video and Internet access on our
systems.
Forward-looking statements generally can also be identified by the use of
forward-looking terminology such as "may," "will," "expect," "intend,"
"estimate," "anticipate," "plan," "seek," or "believe." We believe that the
expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are accurate. However,
we cannot assure you that such expectations will occur. Our actual future
performance could differ materially from such statements. Factors that could
cause such or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to:
o the uncertainties and/or potential delays associated with integrating
past and future acquisitions;
o our ability to acquire additional cable systems on terms favorable to
us;
o the passage of legislation or court decisions adversely affecting the
cable industry;
o our ability to repay or refinance our outstanding indebtedness;
2
<PAGE> 3
o the timing, actual cost and allocation of our capital expenditures and
system upgrades;
o our potential need for additional capital;
o competition in the cable industry; and
o the advent of new technology.
You should not unduly rely on these forward-looking statements, which speak only
as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Except as required by law,
we are not obligated to publicly release any revisions to these forward-looking
statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated
events.

Classic Cable, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
As of September 30, 2000
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Classic
Cable, Inc. 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 our opinion, all adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair
presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine month
periods ended September 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results
that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2000.
For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and
footnotes thereto for the year ended December 31, 1999 included in our Form
10-K.
2. INCOME TAXES
The effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended September 30,
2000 and September 30, 1999 differ from the statutory rates primarily due to the
impact of permanent differences and increases in the valuation allowance on
deferred tax assets. We believe it is more likely than not that such deferred
tax assets will not be utilized in the near term.
3. STAR ACQUISITION
In February 2000, a wholly owned subsidiary purchased substantially all of
the assets of Star Cable Associates ("Star"), which operates cable television
systems in Texas, Louisiana and Ohio, for an aggregate purchase price of
approximately $111 million in cash and 555,555 shares of Class A Voting Common
Stock ("Class A Common Stock") of our parent, Classic Communications, Inc. The
purchase was financed from proceeds of our $225 million private debt offering of
10.5% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2010 and available cash. The acquisition was
accounted for using the purchase method and, accordingly, the operating results
of the systems acquired have been included in our consolidated financial
statements since the date of acquisition.
The following summarized unaudited pro forma financial information assumes
the Star acquisition, the acquisition of Buford Group, Inc., all related
financing and changes to our debt structure had occurred on January 1, 2000 and
1999, respectively. The following pro forma information is not necessarily
indicative of the results that would have occurred had the transactions been
completed at the beginning of the periods indicated, nor is it indicative of
future operating results (in thousands, except per share data):

In conjunction with the Star acquisition, a fee for financial advisory

owner of Classic Communications, Brera Classic, in addition to approximately
$200,000 for reimbursement of certain related expenses.

==========
</TABLE>
In February 2000, we issued $225 million of 10.5% Senior Subordinated Notes
due 2010. Interest payments on these notes began in September 2000. The proceeds
of the offering have been used to fund a portion of the acquisition of Star,
repay a portion of the 1999 credit facility and repurchase approximately $36
million of the 9.875% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2008.
The Senior Subordinated Notes are unsecured and are subordinated to all of
our existing and future senior indebtedness. The notes rank without preference
with all of our existing and future senior subordinated indebtedness. The Senior
Subordinated Notes may be redeemed contingent on certain events and/or the
passage of time at the redemption price, which may include a premium.
Restrictive covenants associated with these notes limit our ability to enter
into certain transactions.
The 1999 credit facility was amended in February 2000 and September 2000 to
(a) allow for the Star acquisition, (b) allow for certain transactions related
to our tower portfolio, (c) modify some of the covenants in the credit facility,
(d) restructure the term loan A to allow us to reborrow against it through
February 2001, subject to certain conditions, and (e) increase the term loan A
facility so that an additional $25 million may be made available under that
facility. The amendment of the 1999 credit facility resulted in an extraordinary
loss of $8.5 million ($5.5 million, net of taxes).
The amendments also increased the applicable margins associated with the
facility's interest calculations as well as the range of potential quarterly
commitment fees. The quarterly commitment fees can range from 0.375% to 0.750%
per annum on the unused loan commitments.
The Company is a holding company with no assets or operations other than its
investments in its subsidiaries. The Subsidiary Guarantors are wholly-owned
subsidiaries of the Company and have fully and unconditionally guaranteed the
New Notes on a joint and several basis. The Subsidiary Guarantors comprise all
of the direct and indirect subsidiaries of the Company, other than
inconsequential subsidiaries. The Company has not presented separate financial
statements and other disclosures concerning each Subsidiary Guarantor because
management has determined that such information is not material to investors.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
Information for this item is omitted pursuant to SEC General Instruction H
to Form 10-Q, except as noted below.
THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 VS. SEPTEMBER 30, 1999
Revenues increased $12.3 million, or 37%, in 2000. Revenues increased
primarily due to increased subscribers resulting from acquisitions and basic
rate increases. The Buford Group acquisition added approximately 170,000
subscribers in July 1999 and the Star acquisition added approximately 57,000
subscribers in February 2000. There was a rate increase of approximately 6%
affecting approximately two-thirds of our customers in February 2000, resulting
in an increase in basic revenues per subscriber of 5% from $30.10 to $31.66
period to period. We have historically increased rates in February in order to
offset increases in operating costs such as programming which occur primarily in
January of each year.
Operating expenses increased $9.8 million, or 24%, in 2000. Programming
expenses increased $4.4 million due to increases in rates charged by programming
vendors, the addition of new channels to our existing channel lineups as well as
an increase in the subscriber base over the same period in 1999. Plant and
operating and general and administrative expenses increased $2.8 million, or
30%, as a result of the additional costs associated with the systems acquired in
1999 and 2000. Depreciation and amortization expense in 2000 was $22.7 million,
an increase of $8.5 million over the same period in 1999. The increase
represents the effect of acquisitions and capital expenditures.
Interest expense increased $3.0 million, or 28%, in 2000. This increase is
primarily the result of the debt issued in conjunction with the July 1999 Buford
Group acquisition and the February 2000 Star acquisition.
Other income increased $0.4 million in 2000. This increase is primarily the
result of increased interest income on cash reserves.
The income tax benefit was $6.1 million in 2000. No tax benefit was
recognized in 1999. The effective tax rates for 2000 and 1999 differ from the
statutory rates primarily due to increases in the valuation allowance on
deferred tax assets.
In 1999, we redeemed a portion of our outstanding 9.875% senior
subordinated notes due 2008, which resulted in an extraordinary loss from the
early extinguishment of debt equal to $6.6 million.
As a result of the above described fluctuations in our results of
operations, the net loss of $11.5 million in 2000 decreased by $12.7 million, as
compared to the net loss of $24.1 million in 1999.
NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 VS. SEPTEMBER 30, 1999
Revenues increased $61.5 million, or 85%, in 2000. Revenues increased
primarily due to increased subscribers resulting from acquisitions and basic
rate increases. Rate increases resulted in an increase in basic revenues per
subscriber of 5% from $29.69 to $31.15 period to period.
Operating expenses increased $63.2 million, or 78%, in 2000. Programming
expenses increased $19.2 million due to increases in rates charged by
programming vendors, the addition of new channels to our existing channel
lineups as well as an increase in the subscriber base over the same period in
1999. Plant and operating and general and administrative expenses increased
$16.3 million, or 84%, as a result of the additional costs associated with the
systems acquired in 1999 and 2000. Depreciation and amortization expense in 2000
was $64.8 million, an increase of $32.5 million over the same period in 1999.
The increase represents the effect of acquisitions and capital expenditures.
Interest expense increased $20.1 million, or 94%, in 2000. This increase is
primarily the result of the debt issued in conjunction with the July 1999 Buford
Group acquisition and the February 2000 Star acquisition.
Other income increased $2.0 million in 2000. This increase is primarily the
result of increased interest income on cash reserves.
The income tax benefit was $17.5 million in 2000. No tax benefit was
recognized in 1999. The effective
9
<PAGE> 10
tax rates for 2000 and 1999 differ from the statutory rates primarily due to
increases in the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.
In February 2000, the 1999 credit facility was amended resulting in an
extraordinary loss of $8.5 million ($5.5 million, net of taxes). In 1999, we
redeemed a portion of our outstanding 9.875% senior subordinated notes due 2008,
which resulted in an extraordinary loss from the early extinguishment of debt
equal to $6.6 million.
As a result of the above described fluctuations in our results of
operations and extraordinary losses recognized in 2000, the net loss of $37.6
million in 2000 increased by $1.3 million, as compared to the net loss of $36.4
million in 1999.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash provided by operations for the nine months ended September 30
increased $9.1 million from period to period. Cash used in investing activities
decreased $146.7 million to $161.6 million, driven primarily by the Buford
acquisition. Cash provided by financing activities decreased $230.0 million to
$79.8 million. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization,
or EBITDA, increased 130% or $30.7 million to $54.5 million due primarily to the
acquisition of cable systems in 2000 and 1999. EBITDA for 1999 has been reduced
by non-cash operating charges consisting of compensation on stock awards and
acquisition related compensation expenses incurred in connection with the Buford
acquisition of $7.4 million. Without the non-cash operating charges, EBITDA for
the nine months ended September 30, 1999 would have been $31.1 million. EBITDA
is presented because we believe it is a widely accepted financial indicator of a
company's ability to incur and service debt. We believe that EBITDA is not
intended to be a performance measure that should be regarded as an alternative
to, or more meaningful than, either operating income or net income as an
indicator of operating performance or to the statement of cash flows as a
measure of liquidity; is not intended to represent funds available for
dividends, reinvestment or other discretionary uses and should not be considered
in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. EBITDA as presented
may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies.
In December 1999, Classic Communications completed an initial public
offering of 7,250,000 shares of its Class A Common Stock, raising approximately
$168.9 million. It used the proceeds from the offering to pay offering expenses
and to redeem all of its outstanding 13.25% senior discount notes due 2009.
Classic Communications contributed the remainder of the proceeds, approximately
$83.5 million, to us, which we used for general business purposes, including
financing part of the Star acquisition.
In February 2000, a wholly owned subsidiary purchased substantially all of
the assets of Star, which operates cable television systems in Texas, Louisiana
and Ohio, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $111 million in cash
and 555,555 shares of Classic Communications Class A Common Stock.
In February 2000, we completed a private offering of $225 million of 10.5%
Senior Subordinated Notes due 2010. The proceeds of the offering were used to
fund a portion of the Star acquisition, repay approximately $100 million of
indebtedness under our senior credit facility and repurchase approximately $36
million of our 9.875% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2008.
In February 2000 and September 2000, we entered into amendments to our
senior credit facility which (1) allowed for the offering of the 10.5% Senior
Subordinated Notes and the Star acquisition, (2) allowed for certain
transactions related to our tower portfolio, (3) modified some of the covenants
in the credit facility to provide us with more flexibility (i.e., maximum total
debt ratio, total interest coverage ratio, maximum capital expenditures,
limitations on investments, permitted acquisitions and lines of business), (4)
restructured the term loan A facility so that following a prepayment in full of
the term loan A facility, and subject to certain additional conditions, we have
the ability to reborrow in one or more advances under the term loan A facility
until February 10, 2001 and (5) increased the term loan A facility so that an
additional $25 million may be made available under that facility.
All of our debt is fully and unconditionally guaranteed by our wholly owned
direct subsidiaries on a joint and several basis. There are presently no
restrictions on the ability of these subsidiaries to make distributions to us.

<PAGE> 11
INTANGIBLES
We have recorded net intangible assets of $414.8 million, 57.3% of total
assets. These assets arose during the acquisition of cable systems throughout
our history. These intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful
lives. We review the valuation and amortization periods of these intangibles on
a periodic basis, taking into consideration any events or circumstances that
might result in diminished fair value or revised useful life. No events or
circumstances have occurred to warrant a diminished fair value or reduction in
the useful life of the intangible assets.
YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE
We experienced no adverse year 2000 related issues on January 1, 2000. We
recognize that there may be residual effects related to year 2000 issues. Our
assessment of our year 2000 readiness will be ongoing as we continue to develop
our operating systems and rely on our vendors' or their vendors' systems. We do
not have any way to assess the costs related to remediation of any residual year
2000 effect. We intend to use internal resources for such remediation where
possible. We may in the future identify a significant internal or external year
2000 related residual issue which, if not remedied in a timely manner, could
