NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
MARCH 31, 1999
1. Business Organization And Purpose
Coaxial LLC (the "Company"), a Delaware limited liability company, was formed on
July 24, 1998 in order to own and hold 67.5% of the common stock of Coaxial
Communications of Central Ohio, Inc. ("Coaxial"). The Company has an individual
as its sole member.
Coaxial, an Ohio corporation, through its controlling voting interest in Insight
Communications of Central Ohio ("Insight Ohio"), operates a cable television
system which provides basic and expanded cable television services to homes in
Columbus, Ohio and surrounding areas. In connection with the contribution of
Coaxial's cable system to Insight Ohio described below, the issuance of the
senior notes described in Note 4, and the issuance of the senior discount notes
by the Company during 1998, the three individuals who previously owned the
outstanding stock of Coaxial contributed their stock to three separate limited
liability companies including the Company. Accordingly, effective August 21,
1998, the Company owns 67 1/2% of the outstanding stock of Coaxial.
Other related entities owned or controlled by the majority shareholder of the
Company include Phoenix Associates ("Phoenix"), Coaxial Communications of
Southern Ohio, Inc. ("Southern Ohio"), Coaxial Associates of Columbus I
("Columbus I"), Coaxial Associates of Columbus II ("Columbus II"), Paxton Cable
Television, Inc. ("Paxton Cable") and Paxton Communications, Inc. ("Paxton
Communications").
On June 30, 1998, amended on July 15, 1998 and August 21, 1998, Coaxial and
Insight Communications Company, L.P. ("Insight") entered into a contribution
agreement (the "Contribution Agreement") pursuant to which on August 21, 1998,
Coaxial contributed substantially all of the assets and liabilities comprising
its cable system to a newly formed subsidiary, Insight Ohio. In connection
therewith, Insight Holdings of Ohio, LLC ("IHO"), a wholly owned subsidiary of
Insight, contributed $10 million in cash to Insight Ohio. As a result of this
Contribution Agreement, Coaxial owns 25% of the non-voting common equity and
Insight owns 75% of the non-voting common equity of Insight Ohio. Coaxial also
owns two separate series of voting preferred equity (a $140 million preferred
equity interest and a $30 million preferred equity interest) of Insight Ohio.
The voting preferred equity interest will provide for distributions to Coaxial
and indirectly to Phoenix and the Company in amounts equal to the payments
required on the senior and senior discount notes described in Note 4. IHO serves
as the manager of Insight Ohio.
The Company and Coaxial Financing Corp. are co-issuers of notes payable
described in Note 4(b). Coaxial and Phoenix are co-issuers of the notes payable
described in Note 4(a). The ability of Coaxial Financing Corp., the Company,
Coaxial, and Phoenix to make scheduled payments with respect to the senior and
senior discount notes is dependent on the financial and operating performance of
Insight Ohio. The required distributions on the Series A and Series B Preferred
Interests to Coaxial are designed to provide the cash flow necessary to service
the debt service requirements on the senior and senior discount notes.
2. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements 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 (consisting
of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included. Operating results for the three month period ended March 31, 1999
are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ended December 31, 1999.

2. Basis of Presentation (continued)
The balance sheet at December 31, 1998 has been derived from the audited
financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information
and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements.
For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and
footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 1998.
3. Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of the Company,
Coaxial, and Insight Ohio. All intercompany balances have been eliminated in
consolidation. At March 31, 1999, Coaxial had a shareholders' deficiency and
Insight Ohio had a members' deficiency. Accordingly, the accompanying financial
statements do not include any minority interest liabilities.
Cash
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of
three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Fair Values
In December 1991, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of
Financial Instruments," which requires disclosure of fair value information
about both on and off balance sheet financial instruments for which it is
practicable to estimate that value. The carrying amounts of current asset and
liabilities approximate their fair market value because of the immediate or
short term maturity of these financial instruments.
At March 31, 1999, the carrying value of the notes receivable from Coaxial DJM
LLC and Coaxial DSM LLC and the senior and senior discount notes approximate
their fair value.
Revenue Recognition
Service fees are recorded in the month cable television and pay television
services are provided to subscribers. Connection fees are charges for the hook-
up of new customers and are recognized as current revenues to the extent of
direct selling costs incurred. Any fees in excess of such costs are deferred and
amortized to income over the estimated average period that subscribers are
expected to remain connected to the system. Subscriber advance billings are
netted within accounts receivable in the accompanying financial statements.
Collections on subscriber advance billings at March 31, 1999 were not
significant.

3. Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of
credit risk consist principally of trade accounts receivable. The Company's
customer base consists of a number of homes concentrated in the central Ohio
area. The Company continually monitors the exposure for credit losses and
maintains allowances for anticipated losses. As of March 31, 1999, the Company
had no significant concentrations of credit risk.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost, while maintenance and repairs are
expensed as incurred. Upon retirement or disposal of assets, the cost and
related accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from the balance
sheet, and any gain or loss is reflected in earnings. Depreciation and
amortization are provided using the straight-line method over the estimated
useful lives of the related assets as follows:
CATV systems 10 to 15 years
Equipment 5 years
Furniture 5 years
Leasehold improvements Life of lease
At March 31, 1999 the Company had net assets held under capital leases of
$199,000.
The Company internally constructs certain CATV systems. Construction costs
capitalized include payroll, fringe benefits and other overhead costs associated
with construction activity.
The Company reviews its property and equipment and other long term assets when
events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amounts may not be
recoverable. When such conditions exist, management estimates the future cash
flows from operations or disposition. If the estimated undiscounted future cash
flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset, an adjustment to reduce
the carrying amount would be recorded, and an impairment loss would be
recognized. The Company does not believe that there is an impairment of such
assets.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over the
estimated useful lives of the related assets as follows:
Franchise costs 7 to 15 years
Deferred financing costs Term of related debt
Deferred financing costs relate primarily to legal fees and bank facility fees
incurred to negotiate and secure long term financing (see Note 4). These costs
are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the applicable
loans. The Company amortized to interest expense deferred financing costs of
approximately $69,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1999.
Home Office Expenses
Effective August 21, 1998, Insight Ohio entered into a management agreement with
IHO, which allows IHO to manage the operations of Insight Ohio. IHO earns a
management fee of equivalent to 3% of Insight Ohio's gross operating revenues.
Fees under the management agreement aggregated $376,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 1999.

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 1998, The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivatives Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS No.
133"). SFAS No. 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards for
derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in
other contracts and for hedging activities. It requires that an entity recognize
all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and measure
those instruments at fair value. SFAS No. 133 is effective for all fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 1999. The Company does not anticipate the adoption of
this Statement to have a material impact on its financial statements.
4. Notes Payable
Notes payable at March 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998 consisted of:

===================== ========================
</TABLE>
(a) On August 21, 1998, Coaxial and Phoenix Associates completed an offering of
$140 million 10% Senior Notes ("Senior Notes") due 2006 of which $105.6
million was allocated to Phoenix and $34.4 million was allocated to
Coaxial. Interest accrues on the Senior Notes from August 21, 1998 and is
payable in cash semi-annually on each February 15 and August 15, commencing
on February 15, 1999. The Senior Notes are secured by the outstanding
Series A Preferred Interests in Insight Ohio. The Series A Preferred
Interests have a liquidation preference of $140.0 million and pay
distributions in an amount equal to the interest payments on the Senior
Notes. All Series A Preferred Interests are owned by Coaxial and are
pledged to Bank of Montreal Trust Company, as trustee, for the benefit of
the holders of the Senior Notes. Coaxial will utilize cash distributions
made by Insight Ohio on the Series A Preferred Interests to make payments
on the Senior Notes. The Senior Notes contain covenants that, among other
things, restrict the ability of Coaxial, Phoenix, Insight Ohio and any of
their Restricted Subsidiaries to: incur additional indebtedness; pay
dividends and make distributions; issue stock of subsidiaries to third
parties; make certain investments; repurchase stock; create liens; enter
into transactions with affiliates; enter into sale and leaseback
transactions; create dividend or other payment restrictions affecting
Restricted Subsidiaries; merge or consolidate in a transaction involving
all or substantially all of the assets of Coaxial, Phoenix and their
Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole; transfer or sell assets; use
distributions on the Series A Preferred Interests or Series B Preferred
Interests for any purpose other than required payments of interest and
principal on the Senior Notes or Discount Notes, respectively; and swap
assets. In connection with the issuance of the Senior Notes, the Company
incurred financing fees of $1,147,193 that are being amortized over the
life of the Senior Notes. Coaxial, as joint and several issuer, with
Phoenix, of the Senior Notes, provides the funding that will allow Phoenix
to repay its share of the notes payable, as Phoenix has no operations.

4. Notes Payable (continued)
(a) (continued)
Amortization expense for deferred financing costs related to the Senior
Notes for the three months ended March 31, 1999 was approximately $36,000.
Interest expense on Coaxial's portion of the Senior Notes was approximately
$861,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1999.
Insight Ohio has a Senior Credit Facility ("Senior Credit Facility") with a
bank which provides for revolving credit loans of $25 million to finance
capital expenditures and for working capital and general purposes,
including the upgrade of the System's cable plant and for the introduction
of new video services. The Senior Credit Facility has a six-year maturity,
with reductions to the amount of the commitment commencing after three
years. The amount available for borrowing is reduced by any outstanding
letter of credit obligations. Insight Ohio's obligations under the Senior
Credit Facility are secured by substantially all the tangible and
intangible assets of Insight Ohio. Loans under the Senior Credit Facility
bear interest, at Insight Ohio's option, at the prime rate or at a
Eurodollar rate. In addition to the index rates, Insight Ohio pays an
additional margin percentage tied to its ratio of total debt to adjusted
annualized operating cash flow.
The Senior Credit Facility contains a number of covenants that, among other
things, restricts the ability of Insight Ohio and its subsidiaries to make
capital expenditures, dispose of assets, incur additional indebtedness,
incur guaranty obligations, pay dividends or make capital distributions,
including distributions on the Preferred Interests that are required to pay
the Senior Notes and the Discount Notes in the event of a payment default
under the Senior Credit Facility, create liens on assets, make investments,
make acquisitions, engage in mergers or consolidations, engage in certain
transactions with subsidiaries and affiliates and otherwise restrict
certain activities. In addition, the Senior Credit Facility requires
compliance with certain financial ratios, including with respect to total
leverage, interest coverage and pro forma debt service coverage.
Management does not expect that such covenants will materially impact the
ability of Insight Ohio to operate its business. As of March 31, 1999, no
amounts were drawn on the Senior Credit Facility.
(b) On August 21, 1998, the Company and Coaxial Financing Corp., a related
entity, issued senior discount notes ("Senior Discount Notes") due 2008.
The Senior Discount Notes have a face amount of $55,869,000 and
approximately $30 million of gross proceeds were received upon issuance.
Approximately $19.5 million of the gross proceeds were contributed by the
sole member of the Company to certain related entities to repay the
indebtedness. Approximately, $9,750,000 was loaned to two related entities
by the Company, which then contributed that amount to certain other related
entities to repay indebtedness. The debt discount of $25,868,000 is being
amortized over five years (until August 15, 2003). Thereafter, interest on
the Senior Discount Notes accrues at 12 7/8% and is payable semi-annually.
All of the Senior Discount Notes were allocated to the Company.
The Senior Discount Notes are non-recourse, secured by all of the common
stock of Coaxial and the notes issued by Coaxial DJM LLC and Coaxial DSM
LLC to the Company and conditionally guaranteed by Insight Ohio, a
subsidiary of Coaxial.
Among other covenants, the borrowers must comply with restrictive covenants
relating to incurrence of additional debt, payment of dividends and
distributions, and the transfer or sale of assets. Coaxial Financing Corp.,
and the Company were in compliance with these covenants as of March 31,
1999.

4. Notes Payable (continued)
(b) (continued)
The ability of Coaxial Financing Corp., and the Company to make scheduled
payments with respect to the Senior Discount Notes will depend on the
financial and operating performance of Insight Ohio. The required payments
on the Series B Preferred Interests equal the distributions to be made by
Coaxial to the three limited liability companies that own Coaxial to
service the Senior Discount Notes.
5. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is party or may be affected by various matters under litigation.
Management believes that the ultimate outcome of these matters will not have a
significant adverse effect on either the Company's future results of operations
of financial position.

1. Nature of Business
Coaxial Financing Corp. (the "Company"), a Delaware corporation, was formed on
July 24, 1998 for the sole purpose of being a co-issuer of the discount notes
described in Note 3, which allows certain investors the ability to be holders of
the debt. The Company has no operations. Three individuals own the outstanding
shares of the Company.
2. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited financial statements 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 (consisting of normal recurring
accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
The balance sheet at December 31, 1998 has been derived from the audited
financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information
and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements.
For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto
included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December

3. Notes Payable
On August 21, 1998, the Company and Coaxial LLC, a related entity, issued Senior
Discount Notes ("Discount Notes") due 2008. The Discount Notes have a face
amount of $55,869,000 and approximately $30 million of gross proceeds were
received upon issuance. Approximately $19.5 million of the gross proceeds were
contributed by the sole member of Coaxial LLC to certain related entities to
repay indebtedness. Approximately $9,750,000 was loaned to two related entities
("Coaxial DJM LLC" and "Coaxial DSM LLC") by Coaxial LLC, which then contributed
that amount to certain other related entities to repay indebtedness. The debt
discount of $25,869,000 is being amortized over five years (until August 15,
2003). Interest on the Discount Notes accrues at 12 7/8% and is payable semi-
annually. All of the Discount Notes were allocated to Coaxial LLC.
The Discount Notes are non-recourse, secured by all of the common stock of
Coaxial Communications of Central Ohio, Inc. ("Coaxial") and the notes issued by
Coaxial DJM LLC and Coaxial DSM LLC to Coaxial LLC and conditionally guaranteed
by Insight Communications of Central Ohio, LLC ("Insight Ohio"), a subsidiary of
Coaxial.
Among other covenants, the borrowers must comply with restrictive covenants
relating to incurrence of additional debt, payment of dividends and
distributions, and the transfer or sale of assets. The Company and Coaxial LLC
were in compliance with these covenants as of March 31, 1999.
The ability of the Company and Coaxial LLC to make scheduled payments with
respect to the Discount Notes will depend on the financial and operating
performance of Insight Ohio.
4. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is party or may be affected by various matters under litigation.
Management believes that the ultimate outcome of these matters will not have a
significant adverse effect on either the Company's future results of operations
of financial position.

MARCH 31, 1999
1. Business Organization And Purpose
Coaxial Communications of Central Ohio, Inc. ("Coaxial" or the "Company"), an
Ohio corporation, through its controlling voting interest in Insight
Communications of Central Ohio LLC ("Insight Ohio"), operates a cable television
system which provides basic and expanded cable television services to homes in
the eastern parts of Columbus, Ohio and surrounding areas. In connection with
the contribution of the Company's cable system described below, the issuance of
the Senior Notes described in Note 4(a), and the issuance of the Discount Notes
by the Company's majority shareholder and an affiliate during 1998, the three
individuals who previously owned the outstanding stock of the Company
contributed their stock to three separate limited liability companies.
Accordingly, at March 31, 1999, the Company was a subsidiary of Coaxial LLC,
which owns 67 1/2% of its outstanding stock.
Other related entities affiliated with Coaxial include Coaxial LLC, Coaxial
Financing Corp., Coaxial DJM LLC, Coaxial DSM LLC, Phoenix Associates
("Phoenix"), Coaxial Communications of Southern Ohio, Inc. ("Southern Ohio"),
Coaxial Associates of Columbus I ("Columbus I"), Coaxial Associates of Columbus
II ("Columbus II"), Paxton Cable Television, Inc. ("Paxton Cable") and Paxton
Communications, Inc. ("Paxton Communications").
On June 30, 1998, amended on July 15, 1998 and August 21, 1998, Coaxial and
Insight Communications Company, L.P. ("Insight") entered into a contribution
agreement (the "Contribution Agreement") pursuant to which on August 21, 1998,
Coaxial contributed substantially all of the assets and liabilities comprising
its cable system to Insight Ohio, a newly formed subsidiary. In connection
therewith, Insight Holdings of Ohio, LLC ("IHO"), a wholly owned subsidiary of
Insight, contributed $10 million in cash to Insight Ohio. As a result of the
Contribution Agreement, Coaxial owns 25% of the non-voting common equity and IHO
owns 75% of the non-voting common equity of Insight Ohio. Coaxial also owns two
separate series of voting preferred equity (a $140 million preferred equity
interest and a $30 million preferred equity interest) of Insight Ohio. The
voting preferred equity interest will provide for distributions to Coaxial
and indirectly to Phoenix and Coaxial LLC in amounts equal to the payments
required on the senior and senior discount notes. IHO serves as the manager of
Insight Ohio.
2. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements 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 (consisting
of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included. Operating results for the three month period ended March 31, 1999
are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ended December 31, 1999.
The balance sheet at December 31, 1998 has been derived from the audited
financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information
and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements.
For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and
footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 1998.

COAXIAL COMMUNICATIONS OF CENTRAL OHIO, INC.
NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
As a result of Coaxial's ownership of all of the voting equity of Insight Ohio
at March 31, 1999, the accompanying financial statements include the accounts of
Insight Ohio. All intercompany balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
At March 31, 1999, Insight Ohio had a members' deficiency, accordingly, the
accompanying financial statements do not include a minority interest liability
for Insight's 75% common equity interest in Insight Ohio.
Cash
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of
three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Fair Values
In December 1991, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of
Financial Instruments," which requires disclosure of fair value information
about both on and off balance sheet financial instruments for which it is
practicable to estimate that value. The carrying amounts of current asset and
liabilities approximate their fair market value because of the immediate or
short term maturity of these financial instruments.
At March 31, 1999, the carrying value of the Senior Notes approximate their fair
value.
Revenue Recognition
Service fees are recorded in the month cable television and pay television
services are provided to subscribers. Connection fees are charges for the hook-
up of new customers and are recognized as current revenues to the extent of
direct selling costs incurred. Any fees in excess of such costs are deferred and
amortized to income over the estimated average period that subscribers are
expected to remain connected to the system. Subscriber advance billings are
netted within accounts receivable in the accompanying financial statements.
Collections on subscriber advance billings at March 31, 1999 were not
significant.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of
credit risk consist principally of trade accounts receivable. The Company's
customer base consists of a number of homes concentrated in the central Ohio
area. The Company continually monitors the exposure for credit losses and
maintains allowances for anticipated losses. As of March 31, 1999, the Company
had no significant concentrations of credit risk.

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost, while maintenance and repairs are
expensed as incurred. Upon retirement or disposal of assets, the cost and
related accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from the balance
sheet, and any gain or loss is reflected in earnings. Depreciation and
amortization are provided using the straight-line method over the estimated
useful lives of the related assets as follows:
CATV systems 10 to 15 years
Equipment 5 years
Furniture 5 years
Leasehold improvements Life of lease
At March 31, 1999 the Company had net assets held under capital leases of
$199,000.
The Company internally constructs certain CATV systems. Construction costs
capitalized include payroll, fringe benefits and other overhead costs associated
with construction activity.
The Company reviews its property and equipment and other long term assets when
events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amounts may not be
recoverable. When such conditions exist, management estimates the future cash
flows from operations or disposition. If the estimated undiscounted future cash
flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset, an adjustment to reduce
the carrying amount would be recorded, and an impairment loss would be
recognized. The Company does not believe that there is an impairment of such
assets.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over the
estimated useful lives of the related assets as follows:
Franchise costs 7 to 15 years
Deferred financing costs Term of related debt
Deferred financing costs relate to costs, primarily legal fees and bank facility
fees incurred to negotiate and secure long term financing (see note 4). These
costs are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the
applicable loans. In connection with the issuance of the Senior Notes (see note
4), the Company repaid the outstanding indebtedness under its prior debt
facility. The Company amortized to interest expense deferred financing costs of
approximately $36,000 and $142,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and
March 31, 1998, respectively.
Home Office Expenses
Home office expenses of approximately $470,000 for the three months ended March
31, 1998 (included in selling and administrative expenses) include billings for
legal fees, management fees, salaries, travel and other management expenses for
services provided by an affiliated services company. Effective August 21, 1998,
IHO provides such services for which it earns a management fee which
approximated $376,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1999.

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Earnings Per Share
In 1998, the Company adopted SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share" ("SFAS No.
128"), which established new standards for computing and presenting earnings per
share was effective for financial statements issued for periods ending after
December 15, 1997. Prior periods have been restated to reflect the adoption of
SFAS No. 128 which did not have a significant impact upon the Company's earnings
per share.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 1998, The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivatives Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS No.
133"). SFAS No. 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards for
derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in
other contracts and for hedging activities. It requires that an entity recognize
all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and measure
those instruments at fair value. SFAS No. 133 is effective for all fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 1999. The Company does not anticipate the adoption of
this Statement to have a material impact on its financial statements.
Reclassifications
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current
period's presentation.
4. Notes Payable
Notes payable at March 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998 consisted of:

4. Notes Payable (continued)
(a) On August 21, 1998, Coaxial and Phoenix Associates completed an offering of
$140 million 10% Senior Notes ("Senior Notes") due 2006 of which $105.6
million was allocated to Phoenix and $34.4 million was allocated to
Coaxial. Interest accrues on the Senior Notes from August 21, 1998 and is
payable in cash semi-annually on each February 15 and August 15, commencing
on February 15, 1999. The Senior Notes are secured by the outstanding
Series A Preferred Interests in Insight Ohio. The Series A Preferred
Interests have a liquidation preference of $140.0 million and pay
distributions in an amount equal to the interest payments on the Senior
Notes. All Series A Preferred Interests are owned by Coaxial and are
pledged to Bank of Montreal Trust Company, as trustee, for the benefit of
the holders of the Senior Notes. Coaxial will utilize cash distributions
made by Insight Ohio on the Series A Preferred Interests to make payments
on the Senior Notes. The Senior Notes contain covenants that, among other
things, restrict the ability of Coaxial, Phoenix, Insight Ohio and any of
their Restricted Subsidiaries to: incur additional indebtedness; pay
dividends and make distributions; issue stock of subsidiaries to third
parties; make certain investments; repurchase stock; create liens; enter
into transactions with affiliates; enter into sale and leaseback
transactions; create dividend or other payment restrictions affecting
Restricted Subsidiaries; merge or consolidate in a transaction involving
all or substantially all of the assets of Coaxial, Phoenix and their
Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole; transfer or sell assets; use
distributions on the Series A Preferred Interests or Series B Preferred
Interests for any purpose other than required payments of interest and
principal on the Senior Notes or Discount Notes, respectively; and swap
assets. In connection with the issuance of the Senior Notes, the Company
incurred financing fees of $1,147,193 that are being amortized over the
life of the Senior Notes. Coaxial, as joint and several issuer, with
Phoenix, of the Senior Notes, provides the funding that will allow Phoenix
to repay its share of the notes payable, as Phoenix has no operations.
Amortization expense for deferred financing costs related to the Senior
Notes for the three months ended March 31, 1999 was approximately $36,000.
Interest expense on Coaxial's portion of the Senior Notes was approximately
$861,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1999.
Insight Ohio has a Senior Credit Facility ("Senior Credit Facility") with a
bank which provides for revolving credit loans of $25 million to finance
capital expenditures and for working capital and general purposes,
including the upgrade of the System's cable plant and for the introduction
of new video services. The Senior Credit Facility has a six-year maturity,
with reductions to the amount of the commitment commencing after three
years. The amount available for borrowing is reduced by any outstanding
letter of credit obligations. Insight Ohio's obligations under the Senior
Credit Facility are secured by substantially all the tangible and
intangible assets of Insight Ohio. Loans under the Senior Credit Facility
bear interest, at Insight Ohio's option, at the prime rate or at a
Eurodollar rate. In addition to the index rates, Insight Ohio pays an
additional margin percentage tied to its ratio of total debt to adjusted
annualized operating cash flow.
The Senior Credit Facility contains a number of covenants that, among other
things, restricts the ability of Insight Ohio and its subsidiaries to make
capital expenditures, dispose of assets, incur additional indebtedness,
incur guaranty obligations, pay dividends or make capital distributions,
including distributions on the Preferred Interests that are required to pay
the Senior Notes and the Discount Notes in the event of a payment default
under the Senior Credit Facility, create liens on assets, make investments,
make acquisitions, engage in mergers or consolidations, engage in certain
transactions with subsidiaries and affiliates and otherwise restrict
certain activities. In addition, the Senior Credit Facility requires
compliance with certain financial ratios, including with respect to total
leverage, interest coverage and pro forma debt service coverage. Management
does not expect that such covenants will materially impact the ability of
Insight Ohio to operate its business. As of March 31, 1999, no amounts were
drawn on the Senior Credit Facility.

MARCH 31, 1999
1. Business Organization and Purpose
Phoenix Associates ("Phoenix") is a Florida general partnership organized for
the primary purpose of purchasing promissory notes, mortgages, deeds of trust,
debt securities and other types of securities, and purchasing and acquiring
rights in any loan agreements or other documents relating to those securities.
Phoenix has no operations. Its ability to satisfy debt and other obligations is
dependent upon funding from related entities, which are under the common control
of the owners of Phoenix. Phoenix is a co-issuer and joint and several obligor
of the debt described in Note 4, along with an affiliate, Coaxial
Communications of Central Ohio, Inc.
Phoenix consists of three separate LLC's whose sole members are individual
partners who share profits and losses in the ratio of 67 1/2%, 22 1/2% and 10%,
respectively.
Other related entities affiliated with Phoenix include Coaxial LLC, Coaxial
Financing Corp., Coaxial Communications of Central Ohio, Inc. ("Coaxial"),
Insight Communications of Central Ohio, LLC ("Insight Ohio"), Coaxial
Communications of Southern Ohio, Inc. ("Southern Ohio"), Coaxial Associates of
Columbus I ("Columbus I"), Coaxial Associates of Columbus II ("Columbus II"),
Paxton Cable Television, Inc. ("Paxton Cable") and Paxton Communications, Inc.
("Paxton Communications").
On June 30, 1998, amended on July 15, 1998 and August 21, 1998, Coaxial and
Insight Communications Company, L.P. ("Insight") entered into a Contribution
Agreement (the "Contribution Agreement") pursuant to which Coaxial contributed
substantially all of the assets and liabilities comprising its cable system to a
newly formed subsidiary, Insight Ohio, and Insight Holdings of Ohio, LLC
("IHO"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Insight, contributed $10 million in cash
to Insight Ohio. As a result of this Contribution Agreement, Coaxial owns 25% of
the non-voting common equity and IHO owns 75% of the non-voting common equity of
Insight Ohio. Coaxial also owns two separate series (a $140 million preferred
equity interest and a $30 million preferred equity interest of voting preferred
equity) of Insight Ohio. The voting preferred equity interest provides for
distributions to Coaxial equal in amount to the payments on the Senior Notes and
senior discount notes. Coaxial will make distributions which will enable Phoenix
to fund the required payments on the Senior Notes.
2. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited financial statements 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 (consisting of normal recurring

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
In December 1991, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of
Financial Instruments," which requires disclosure of fair value information
about both on- and off- balance sheet financial instruments for which it is
practicable to estimate that value. At March 31, 1999, the carrying value of
Phoenix's financial instruments approximate fair value.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivatives Instruments and Hedging Activities." Statement No.
133 established accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments,
including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and for
hedging activities. It requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as
either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and measure those instruments
at fair value. Statement No. 133 is effective for all fiscal quarters of fiscal
years beginning after June 15, 1999. Phoenix does not anticipate that the
adoption of this Statement will have a material impact on its financial
statements.
4. Notes Payable
Notes payable at March 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998 consisted of:

4. Notes Payable (continued)
(a) On August 21, 1998 Coaxial and Phoenix completed an offering of $140
million 10% Senior Notes ("Senior Notes") due 2006. The proceeds of the
Senior Notes were allocated $105.6 million to Phoenix and $34.4 million to
Coaxial. Interest accrues on the Senior Notes from August 21, 1998 and is
payable in cash semi-annually on each February 15 and August 15,
commencing on February 15, 1999. The Senior Notes are secured by the
outstanding Series A Preferred Interests in Insight Ohio. The Series A
Preferred Interests have a liquidation preference of $140.0 million and
pay distributions in an amount equal to the interest payments on the
Senior Notes. All Series A Preferred Interests are owned by Coaxial and
are pledged to Bank of Montreal Trust Company, as trustee, for the benefit
of the holders of the Senior Notes. Coaxial will utilize cash
distributions on the Series A Preferred Interests to make payments on the
Senior Notes including distributions to Phoenix. The Senior Notes contain
covenants that, among other things, restrict the ability of Coaxial,
Phoenix, Insight Ohio and any of their Restricted Subsidiaries to: incur
additional indebtedness; pay dividends and make distributions; issue stock
of subsidiaries to third parties; make certain investments; repurchase
stock; create liens; enter into transactions with affiliates; enter into
sale and leaseback transactions; create dividend or other payment
restrictions affecting Restricted Subsidiaries; merge or consolidate in a
transaction involving all or substantially all of the assets of Coaxial,
Phoenix and their Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole; transfer or
sell assets; use distributions on the Series A Preferred Interest or
Series B Preferred Interests for any purpose other than required payments
of interest and principal on the notes or Discount Notes, respectively;
and swap assets. In connection with the issuance of the Senior Notes,
Phoenix incurred financing fees of $3,559,231 that are being amortized
over the life of the Senior Notes. Amortization expense related to the
deferred financing costs was approximately $111,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 1999. Interest expense incurred on the Senior Notes
excluding amortization of deferred financing costs was approximately
$2,639,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1999. Phoenix is a co-
issuer and joint and several obligor of the debt, along with an affiliate,
Coaxial.
At March 31, 1999 the carrying value of the Senior Notes payable approximate
fair value.
5. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is party to or may be affected by various matters under litigation.
Management believes that the ultimate outcome of these matters will not have a
significant adverse effect on either the Company's future results of operations
of financial position.

MARCH 31, 1999
1. Business Organization and Purpose
Insight Communications of Central Ohio, LLC ("Insight Ohio" or the "Company")
was formed on July 23, 1998 in order to acquire substantially all of the
assets and liabilities comprising the cable television system of Coaxial
Communications of Central Ohio, Inc. ("Coaxial"). On August 21, 1998, Coaxial
contributed to Insight Ohio all of the assets and liabilities comprising
Coaxial's cable television system for which Coaxial received a 25% non-voting
common membership interest in Insight Ohio as well as 100% of the voting
preferred membership interests of Insight Ohio ("Series A and Series B Preferred
Interests"). In conjunction therewith, Insight Holdings of Ohio, LLC ("IHO")
contributed $10 million in cash to Insight Ohio for which it received a 75% non-
voting common membership interest in Insight Ohio. Insight Ohio provides basic
and expanded cable services to homes in Columbus, Ohio and surrounding areas.
On August 21, 1998, Coaxial and Phoenix Associates, a related entity, issued
$140 million of 10% Senior Notes ("Senior Notes") due in 2006. The Senior Notes
are non-recourse and are secured by all issued and outstanding Series A
Preferred Interest in Insight Ohio and are conditionally guaranteed by Insight
Ohio. On August 21, 1998, Coaxial Financing Corp. and Coaxial LLC, related
entities, issued 12 7/8% Senior Discount Notes due 2008 ("Discount Notes"). The
Discount Notes have a face amount of $55,869,000 and approximately $30 million
of gross proceeds were received upon issuance. The Discount Notes are non-
recourse, secured by 100% of the common stock of Coaxial, and conditionally
guaranteed by Insight Ohio.
2. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited financial statements 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 (consisting of normal recurring
accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
Operating results for the three month period ended March 31, 1999 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended
December 31, 1999.
The balance sheet at December 31, 1998 has been derived from the audited
financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information
and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements.
For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and
footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 1998.
3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Cash
Insight Ohio considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of
three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Revenue Recognition
Service fees are recorded in the month cable television and pay television
services are provided to subscribers. Connection fees are charges for the hook-
up of new customers and are recognized as current revenues to the extent of
direct selling costs incurred. Any fees in excess of such costs are deferred and
amortized to income over the estimated average period that subscribers are
expected to remain connected to the system. Subscriber advance billings are
netted within accounts receivable in the accompanying financial statements.
Collections on subscriber advance billings at March 31, 1999 were not
significant.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject Insight Ohio to concentrations of
credit risk consist principally of trade accounts receivable. Insight Ohio's
customer base consists of a number of homes concentrated in the central Ohio
area. Insight Ohio continually monitors the exposure for credit losses and
maintains allowances for anticipated losses. As of March 31, 1999, Insight Ohio
had no significant concentrations of credit risk.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost, while maintenance and repairs are
expensed as incurred. Upon retirement or disposal of assets, the cost and
related accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from the balance
sheet, and any gain or loss is reflected in earnings. Depreciation and
amortization are provided using the straight-line method over the estimated
useful lives of the related assets as follows:
CATV systems 10 to 15 years
Equipment 5 years
Furniture 5 years
Leasehold improvements Life of lease
Assets held under capital leases at March 31, 1999 were $199,000.
Insight Ohio internally constructs certain CATV systems. Construction costs
capitalized include payroll, fringe benefits and other overhead costs associated
with construction activity.
Insight Ohio reviews its property, plant and equipment and other long term
assets when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amounts may
not be recoverable. When such conditions exist, management estimates the future
cash flows from operations or disposition. If the estimated undiscounted future
cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset, an adjustment to
reduce the carrying amount would be recorded, and an impairment loss would be
recognized. Insight Ohio does not believe that there is an impairment of such
assets.
Franchise Costs
Franchise costs are amortized using the straight-line method over the lives of
the related franchises which range from 7 to 15 years.

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Home Office Expenses
Effective August 21, 1998, the Company entered into a management agreement with
IHO, which allows IHO to manage the operations of Insight Ohio. IHO earns a
management fee of equivalent to 3% of Insight Ohio's gross operating revenues.
Fees under this management agreement aggregated $376,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 1999.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 1998, The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivatives Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS No.
133"). SFAS No. 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards for
derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in
other contracts and for hedging activities. It requires that an entity recognize
all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and measure
those instruments at fair value. SFAS No. 133 is effective for all fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 1999. The Company does not anticipate the adoption of
this Statement to have a material impact on its financial statements.
4. Credit Facility
Insight Ohio has a Senior Credit Facility ("Senior Credit Facility") with a bank
which provides for revolving credit loans of $25 million to finance capital
expenditures and for working capital and general purposes, including the upgrade
of the System's cable plant and for the introduction of new video services. The
Senior Credit Facility has a six-year maturity, with reductions to the amount of
the commitment commencing after three years. The amount available for borrowing
is reduced by any outstanding letter of credit obligations. Insight Ohio's
obligations under the Senior Credit Facility are secured by substantially all
the tangible and intangible assets of Insight Ohio. Loans under the Senior
Credit Facility bear interest, at Insight Ohio's option, at the prime rate or at
a Eurodollar rate. In addition to the index rates, Insight Ohio pays an
additional margin percentage tied to its ratio of total debt to adjusted
annualized operating cash flow.
The Senior Credit Facility contains a number of covenants that, among other
things, restricts the ability of Insight Ohio and its subsidiaries to make
capital expenditures, dispose of assets, incur additional indebtedness, incur
guaranty obligations, pay dividends or make capital distributions, including
distributions on the Preferred Interests that are required to pay the Senior
Notes and the Discount Notes in the event of a payment default under the Senior
Credit Facility, create liens on assets, make investments, make acquisitions,
engage in mergers or consolidations, engage in certain transactions with
subsidiaries and affiliates and otherwise restrict certain activities.
5. Commitments and Contingencies
Insight Ohio is party in or may be affected by various matters under litigation.
Management believes that the ultimate outcome of these matters will not have a
significant adverse effect on either Insight Ohio's future results of operations
or financial position.

<PAGE>
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and related notes which are included elsewhere in this
report.
Forward-Looking Statements
This report contains "forward-looking statements," including statements
containing the words "believes," "anticipates," "expects" and words of similar
import, which concern, among other things, the operations, economic performance
and financial condition of the System (as defined below), including, in
particular, the likelihood of the System's success given its new management by
Insight Holdings of Ohio, LLC ("IHO"). All statements other than statements of
historical fact included in this report regarding Coaxial LLC, Coaxial Financing
Corp. and Insight Communications of Central Ohio, LLC ("Insight Ohio") or any of
the transactions described in this report, including the timing, financing,
strategies and effects of such transactions, are forward-looking statements.
Such forward-looking statements are based upon a number of assumptions and
estimates, which are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and
contingencies, many of which are beyond the control of Coaxial LLC, Coaxial
Financing Corp. and Insight Ohio, and reflect future business decisions which
are subject to change. Although Coaxial LLC, Coaxial Financing Corp. and Insight
Ohio believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements
are reasonable, they can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to
have been correct. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ
materially from expectations include, without limitation, (i) the ability of
Coaxial LLC and Coaxial Financing Corp. to make scheduled payments with respect
to the Discount Notes (as defined below) will depend on the financial and
operating performance of Insight Ohio; (ii) a substantial portion of Insight
Ohio's cash flow from operations is required to be dedicated to the payment of
principal and interest on its indebtedness and the required distributions with
respect to the Series A Preferred Interests (as defined below) and the Series B
Preferred Interests (as defined below), thereby reducing the funds available to
Insight Ohio for its operations and future business opportunities; (iii) Coaxial
LLC and Coaxial Financing Corp have no significant assets other than the common
equity of Coaxial Communications of Central Ohio, Inc. ("Coaxial") owned by
Coaxial LLC and notes issued by Coaxial DJM LLC (an owner of 22.5% of the common
equity of Coaxial) and Coaxial DSM LLC (an owner of 10.0% of the common equity
of Coaxial) to Coaxial LLC; and (iv) the indenture governing the terms of the
Discount Notes imposes restrictions on Coaxial LLC, Coaxial Financing Corp. and
Insight Ohio and the Senior Credit Facility of Insight Ohio imposes restrictions
on Insight Ohio. Coaxial LLC, Coaxial Financing Corp. and Insight Ohio do not
intend to update these forward-looking statements.
Private Offering of Senior Discount Notes, Senior Notes and Acquisition of
System by Insight Ohio
Coaxial LLC and Coaxial Financing Corp. completed on August 21, 1998 a
private offering (the "Senior Discount Notes Offering") of $55,869,000 aggregate
principal amount at maturity of their Senior Discount Notes in connection with
the Financing Plan discussed below, which included the contribution of Coaxial's
cable television system (the "System") to Insight Ohio. Coaxial LLC and Coaxial
Financing Corp. have only nominal assets except for Coaxial LLC's ownership of
67.5% of the common stock of Coaxial and notes of Coaxial DJM LLC and Coaxial
DSM LLC, which are secured by the remaining 32.5% of the common stock of
Coaxial. The Senior Discount Notes are guaranteed on a conditional basis by
Insight Ohio. The limited liability companies that own Coaxial are referred to
herein as the "Individual LLCs".
On August 21, 1998, a Financing Plan was implemented to facilitate the
organization of Insight Ohio, the acquisition of the System by Insight Ohio and
to provide for the System's liquidity and operational and financial flexibility.
Pursuant to the Financing Plan:
. Coaxial contributed to Insight Ohio substantially all of the assets
comprising the System for which Coaxial received a 25% non-voting common
membership interest in Insight Ohio as well as the voting Series A
Preferred Interest and Series B Preferred Interest in Insight Ohio
(together the "Preferred Interests"), which provide for distributions to
Coaxial that will be used to pay interest and principal on the Senior Notes
and to pay dividends to the Individual LLCs that will be used to pay
interest and principal on the Senior Discount Notes;
. IHO contributed $10.0 million in cash to Insight Ohio for which it received
a 75% non-voting common membership interest in Insight Ohio;
. Coaxial and Phoenix effected the Senior Notes Offering;
. Coaxial LLC and Coaxial Financing Corp. effected the Senior Discount Notes
Offering; and
. a portion of the existing bank indebtedness of Coaxial and Phoenix and
certain of their affiliates was repaid and the balance was purchased by
CIBC Oppenheimer Corp. ("CIBC") and restructured in accordance with an
agreement among the parties.
33
<PAGE>
As part of the Financing Plan, Coaxial and Phoenix Associates, an
affiliated general partnership, completed a private offering (the "Senior Notes
Offering") of $140,000,000 aggregate principal amount of their Senior Notes. The
Senior Notes are also guaranteed on a conditional basis by Insight Ohio. The
conditional guarantee of the Senior Discount Notes is subordinated to the
conditional guarantee of the Senior Notes. As a result of the Financing Plan,
Coaxial has only nominal assets except for its ownership of 25% of the non-
voting common membership interests in Insight Ohio and 100% of the voting
Preferred Interests.
The gross proceeds received by Coaxial LLC and Coaxial Financing Corp. from
the Senior Discount Notes Offering were approximately $30.0 million. Proceeds
from such private offering were used for the repayment of outstanding
indebtedness (approximately $28.9 million). CIBC purchased certain outstanding
indebtedness (approximately $136.4 million) of Coaxial and Phoenix and
restructured that debt in accordance with the Financing Plan. CIBC funded such
purchase with proceeds from the Senior Notes Offering. The remaining proceeds
from the Senior Notes Offering and the Senior Discount Notes Offering and the
$10.0 million cash contribution from IHO were used for working capital
(approximately $2.9 million), deferred compensation and severance payments
(approximately $3.0 million) and fees and expenses (approximately $8.8 million).
The Preferred Interests have distribution priorities that provide for
distributions to Coaxial. The distributions from the Series A Preferred
Interests will be used to pay interest and principal on the Senior Notes and the
distributions from the Series B Preferred Interests will be used to pay
dividends to the Individual LLCs, which dividends will be used to pay interest
and principal on the Senior Discount Notes. Distributions by Insight Ohio will
be subject to certain financial covenants and other conditions set forth in its
Senior Credit Facility.
Coaxial LLC does not conduct any business and is dependent upon the
cash flow of Insight Ohio to meet its obligations under the Senior Discount
Notes. IHO, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Insight, serves as the manager of the
Insight Ohio.
The following discussion relates to the historical operations of Coaxial
LLC for the three month period ended March 31, 1999 compared to the historical
operations of Coaxial for the three months ended March 31, 1998. On August 21,
1998, substantially all of the assets and liabilities comprising the System
were contributed to Insight Ohio. Subsequent to the consummation of the
Financing Plan, Insight Ohio was deemed to be a subsidiary of Coaxial and, as
such, the financial statements of Insight Ohio are consolidated into the
financial statements of Coaxial and Coaxial was deemed to be a subsidiary of
Coaxial LLC and, as such, the financial statements of Coaxial are consolidated
into the financial statements of Coaxial LLC. Financial results related to
historical information reflect the operation and management of the System by
Coaxial through August 21, 1998 and by IHO from August 21, 1998 to March 31,
1999. The historical operating results of Coaxial LLC presented below reflect
the actual results of the System in addition to certain financing activities
unrelated to the operation of the System. These financing activities relate
primarily to the offering of the Senior Notes discussed above as well as certain
borrowings and repayments of debt with affiliated companies. These activities
resulted in related financing and interest costs. The historical results of
Coaxial LLC presented below appear elsewhere in this report under the heading
"Coaxial LLC."
34
<PAGE>
Overview
Revenues generated by the System are primarily attributable to monthly
subscription fees charged to basic customers for basic and premium cable
television programming services. Basic revenues consist of monthly subscription
fees for all services (other than premium programming) as well as monthly
charges for customer equipment rental. Premium revenues primarily consist of
monthly subscription fees for programming provided on a per channel basis. In
addition, other revenues are derived from installation and reconnection fees
charged to basic customers to commence or discontinue service, pay-per-view
charges, late payment fees, franchise fees, advertising revenues and commissions
related to the sale of goods by home shopping services.
System operating expenses consist of service and administrative expenses,
home office expenses and depreciation and amortization. Service and
administrative expenses include direct costs, such as fees paid to programming
suppliers, expenses related to copyright fees, bad debt expense, and franchise
and use fees. Programming fees have historically increased at rates in excess of
inflation due to increases in the number of programming services offered by the
System and improvements in the quality of programming. Service and
administrative expenses also include costs attributable to the operation of the
System, including wages and salaries and other expenses related to plant
operating activities, customer service operations, marketing, billing,
advertising sales and video production. Prior to August 21, 1998, service and
administrative expenses also included costs attributable to finance and
accounting, human resources and other administrative functions. Upon
consummation of the Financing Plan, such expenses were replaced by the
management fee arrangement with IHO.
The System relies on IHO for all of its strategic, managerial, financial
and operational oversight and advice. IHO also centrally purchases programming
and equipment and provides the associated discount to the System. In exchange
for all such services provided to the System and subject to certain restrictions
contained in the covenants with respect to Insight Ohio's Senior Credit
Facility, the Senior Notes and the Senior Discount Notes, IHO is entitled to
receive management fees of 3.0% of gross operating revenues of the System. Such
management fee is payable only after distributions have been made in respect of
the Preferred Interests and only to the extent that such payment would be
permitted by an exception to the restricted payments covenants of the Senior
Notes and the Senior Discount Notes as well as Insight Ohio's Senior Credit
Facility. Such management fee is included in service and administrative
expenses.

Results of Operations
Quarter Ended March 31, 1999 Compared to Quarter Ended March 31, 1998
Revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 were $11.7 million, compared
to $11.5 million for the quarter March 31, 1998. For the quarter ended March 31,
1999, subscribers served averaged 87,129, as compared with 91,868 in 1998.
Revenues increased 1.8% despite a 5.2% decrease in customers as Insight Ohio
ended previous management's program of deeply discounting its rates. Average
revenue per customer per month for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 totaled
$44.75 versus $41.67 for the quarter ended March 31, 1998.
Service and administrative expenses decreased to $6.7 million for the
quarter ended March 31, 1999, compared to $7.5 million for the quarter ended
March 31, 1998 a decrease of approximately $789,000, or 10.6%. Basic programming
expenses decreased by 13.9%, from $2.0 million in 1998 to $1.8 million in 1999,
reflecting savings realized through Insight's purchasing discounts. Similarly,
pay programming expenses dropped 10.3% during the quarter ended March 31, 1999
versus the quarter ended March 31, 1998 to $990,000. The System was charged
home office expenses that included costs incurred by the owners of Coaxial and
their direct employees relating to the System including salaries, benefits,
legal fees, travel and entertainment, accounting fees and other office expenses.
For the quarter ended March 31, March 31, 1998, such expenses totaled
approximately $424,000. Upon consummation of the Financing Plan, IHO commenced
management services to the System for which it receives a management fee, which
totaled approximately $376,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1999. Personnel
costs for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 totaled approximately $1.4 million, a
decrease of 16.8% from the quarter ended March 31, 1998 as the Insight Ohio
eliminated duplicative positions upon consummation of the Financing Plan.
Depreciation and amortization expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 1999
increased by 9.7% over the quarter ended March 31, 1998 to approximately $1.6
million reflecting additional capital expenditures incurred associated with the
rebuild of the System's network. Operating Income for the quarter ended March
31, 1999 totaled $3.4 million, a 34.3% increase over operating income of $2.5
million reported for the quarter ended March 31, 1998.
Net interest expense totaled approximately $1.6 million for the quarter
ended March 31, 1999 reflecting interest on the Senior Discount Notes issued
August 21, 1998.
Net income increased to $1.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1999
from net income of $ 2.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 for the
reasons set forth above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The cable television business is a capital-intensive business that
generally requires financing for the upgrade, expansion and maintenance of the
technical infrastructure. The capital expenditures relating to Coaxial totaled
$6.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1999. These expenditures were
primarily for the rebuild of cable plant and for serving new homes. Capital
expenditures are financed by cash received from the Financing Plan and cash
flows from operations.

IHO is rebuilding the technical platform of the System by upgrading the
plant serving the majority of customers. The capability for high-speed data
transmission, impulse pay-per-view, digital tiers of service and additional
analog channels is intended to be provided by further deployment of fiber
optics, an increase in the bandwidth to 870 MHz, activation of the reverse plant
to allow two-way communications and the installation of digital equipment.
In addition to cash flow from operations, Insight Ohio has available a $25
million Senior Credit facility to support their rebuild program. As of March
31, 1999, no borrowings had been made under the Senior Credit Facility and $25
million remains available for borrowing.
Inflation and Changing Prices
Coaxial's costs and expenses are subject to inflation and price
fluctuations. Although changes in costs can be passed through to customers, such
changes may be constrained by competition. Management does not expect inflation
to have a material effect on Coaxial's results of operations.
Year 2000
The Year 2000 will pose a unique set of challenges to those industries
reliant on information technology. As a result of the methods employed by early
programmers, many software applications and operational programs may be unable
to distinguish the Year 2000 from the Year 1900. If not effectively addressed,
this problem could result in the production of inaccurate data, or, in the worst
cases, the inability of the systems to continue to function altogether. Insight
Ohio and other companies in the same business are vulnerable to their dependence
on distribution and communications systems.
Insight Ohio's greatest Year 2000 exposure is presented by its third party
billing system which is responsible for mailing monthly bills to customers and
maintaining customer data. Insight Ohio has recently implemented the Convergys
billing system. Convergys has informed Insight Ohio that testing of the billing
system was completed by the first quarter of 1999.
Management believes that the remaining systems of Insight Ohio will be
fully Y2K compliant by the end of the third quarter of 1999. Insight Ohio has
completed an inventory of all areas which are at risk and is in the process of
replacing and upgrading all equipment and software as needed. Due to Insight's
affiliation with TCI, Insight Ohio is a member of TCI's Year 2000 task force.
This allows Insight Ohio access to TCI's extensive database which details
various vendors', suppliers' and programmers' Year 2000 compliance. Management
estimates that the total cumulative costs relating to its efforts to make its
systems Y2K compliant will be approximately $120,000, of which approximately
$20,000 has been incurred as of March 31, 1999.
Management believes that the expenditures required to bring Insight Ohio's
systems into compliance will not have a materially adverse effect on Insight
Ohio's performance. However, the Year 2000 problem is pervasive and complex and
can potentially affect any computer process. Accordingly, no assurance can be
given that Year 2000 compliance can be
37
<PAGE>
achieved without additional unanticipated expenditures and uncertainties that
might affect future financial results.
Moreover, to operate its business, Insight Ohio relies on governmental
agencies, utility companies, telecommunications companies, shipping companies,
suppliers and other third party service providers over which it can assert
little control. Insight Ohio's ability to conduct its business is dependent upon
the ability of these third parties to avoid Year 2000 related disruptions.
Insight Ohio is in the process of contacting its third party service providers
about their Year 2000 readiness, but Insight Ohio has not yet received any
assurances from any such third parties about their Year 2000 compliance. If
Insight Ohio's key third party service providers do not adequately address their
Year 2000 issues, Insight Ohio's business may be materially affected, which
could result in a materially adverse effect on Insight Ohio's results of
operations and financial condition.
Insight Ohio has not, as of yet, developed any contingency plans, as such
plans will depend on the responses from its third party service providers, in
the event Insight Ohio or any key third party providers should fail to become
Year 2000 compliant.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 1998, The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivatives Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS No. 133
established accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments,
including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and for
hedging activities. It requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as
either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and measure those instruments
at fair value. SFAS No. 133 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June
15, 1999. Coaxial, Phoenix and Insight Ohio do not anticipate the adoption of
this statement to have a material impact on their respective financial
statements.
