                      CC V HOLDINGS, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (UNAUDITED)
                 (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS EXCEPT WHERE INDICATED)


1.      ORGANIZATION

        The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts
of CC V Holdings, LLC (CC V Holdings), (formerly known as Avalon Cable LLC
(Avalon Cable)), and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, the
"Company"). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation.

        On November 15, 1999, Charter Communications Holding Company, LLC
(Charter Holdco) purchased directly and indirectly all of the equity interests
of Avalon Cable of Michigan Holdings, Inc. (Avalon Michigan Holdings) for an
aggregate purchase price of $832,000, including assumed debt of $273,400 (the
"Charter Acquisition"). In connection with a multistep restructuring following
the acquisition of Avalon Michigan Holdings, Avalon Michigan Holdings was merged
with and into CC V Holdings. Effective January 1, 2000, these interests acquired
were transferred to Charter Communications Holdings, LLC (Charter Holdings), a
wholly owned subsidiary of Charter Holdco.

        As a result of the Charter Acquisition, the Company has applied purchase
accounting in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial
statements. Accordingly, CC V Holdings increased its member's equity to $383,308
to reflect the amount paid in the Charter Acquisition and has allocated that
amount to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their relative fair
values, including amounts assigned to franchises of $727,720. The allocation of
the purchase price is based, in part, on preliminary information, which is
subject to adjustment upon completion of certain appraisal and valuation
information. Management believes that finalization of the purchase price and
allocation will not have a material impact on the consolidated results of
operations or financial position of the Company.

        As a result of the Charter Acquisition and the application of purchase
accounting, financial information in the accompanying consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto for the three months ended March 31, 2000 (the
successor period), is presented on a different cost basis than the financial
information for the three months ended March 31, 1999 (the predecessor period).
Therefore, such information is not comparable.

        Prior to the Charter Acquisition, Avalon Michigan Holdings had a
majority interest in CC V Holdings.

2.      RESPONSIBILITY FOR INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

        The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have
been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures
normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted.

        The accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited;
however, in the opinion of management, such statements include all adjustments,
which consist of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair
presentation of the results for the periods presented. Interim results are not
necessarily indicative of results for a full year. For further information,
refer to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 1999.



                                       7

3.      ACQUISITIONS

        On February 2, 2000, the Company acquired certain cable systems from
former affiliates of the Company for $13,006. The systems acquired serve
approximately 5,400 customers located in Minnesota.

        This acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of
accounting, and, accordingly, results of operations of the acquired systems have
been included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements from the
date of acquisition. The purchase price was allocated to assets acquired and
liabilities assumed based on their fair values, including amounts assigned to
franchises of $9.9 million.

        Pro forma results of operations have not been presented since this
information does not differ materially from the actual results of operations
presented in the accompanying statements of operations for the three months
ended March 31, 1999 and 2000.


4.      LONG-TERM DEBT

        Pursuant to a change of control offer dated December 3, 1999, 134,050 of
the Company's 9.375% Senior Subordinated Notes due December 1, 2008, were
validly tendered. The aggregate repurchase price was $137,400, including accrued
and unpaid interest through January 28, 2000, and was funded with equity
contributions from Charter Holdings, parent of CC V Holdings, which made the
cash available from the proceeds of its sale of $1.5 billion of high yield notes
in January 2000 (the "January 2000 Charter Holdings Notes").

        In addition to the above change of control repurchase, the Company
repurchased the remaining 15,950 notes (including accrued and unpaid interest)
in the open market for $16,300, also using cash received from equity
contributions ultimately from Charter Holdings, which made the cash available
from the sale proceeds of the January 2000 Charter Holdings Notes.

        Also pursuant to a change of control offer, 16,250 of the Company's
11.875% Senior Discount Notes due 2008, were validly tendered. The notes were
repurchased for $10,500 using cash received from equity contributions from
Charter Holdings. As of March 31, 2000, notes with an aggregate principal amount
of $179.8 million at maturity remain outstanding with an accreted value of
$117.8 million.

5.      LITIGATION

        In connection with the Company's acquisition of Mercom, Inc. (Mercom),
former Mercom shareholders holding approximately 731,894 Mercom common shares
(approximately 15.3% of all outstanding Mercom common shares) gave notice of
their election to exercise appraisal rights as provided by Delaware law. On July
2, 1999, former Mercom shareholders holding 535,501 shares of Mercom common
stock filed a petition for appraisal of stock in the Delaware Chancery Court.
With respect to 209,893 of the total number of shares for which the Company
received notice, the notice provided to the Company was received from beneficial
holders of Mercom shares who were not holders of record. The Company believes
that the notice with respect to these shares did not comply with Delaware law
and is ineffective.

        The Company cannot predict at this time the effect of the elections to
exercise appraisal rights on the Company since the Company does not know the
extent to which these former Mercom shareholders will continue to pursue
appraisal rights under Delaware law or choose to abandon these efforts and seek
to accept the consideration payable in the Mercom merger. If these former Mercom
shareholders continue to pursue their appraisal rights, and if a Delaware court
were to find that the fair value of the Mercom common shares, exclusive of any
element of value arising from the acquisition of Mercom, exceeded $12.00 per
share, the Company would have to pay the additional amount for each Mercom
common share subject to the appraisal proceedings together with a fair rate of
interest. The Company could be ordered by the Delaware court also to



                                       8
<PAGE>   9
pay reasonable attorney's fees and the fees and expenses of experts for the
shareholders. In addition, the Company would have to pay its own litigation
costs. The Company has already provided for the consideration of $12.00 per
Mercom common share due under the terms of the merger with Mercom with respect
to these shares but has not provided for any additional amounts or costs. The
Company can provide no assurance as to what a Delaware court would find in any
appraisal proceeding or when this matter will be resolved. Accordingly, the
Company cannot assure that the ultimate outcome would have no material adverse
impact on the consolidated financial condition or results of operations of the
Company.

(a) EBITDA represents earnings (loss) before interest, income taxes, and
depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is presented because it is a widely
accepted financial indicator of a cable company's ability to service
indebtedness. However, EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to
income from operations or to cash flows from operating, investing or financing
activities, as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles. EBITDA should also not be construed as an indication of a company's
operating performance or as a measure of liquidity. Management's discretionary
use of funds depicted by EBITDA may be limited by working capital, debt service
and capital expenditure requirements and by restrictions related to legal
requirements, commitments and uncertainties.

(b) Adjusted EBITDA means EBITDA before corporate expense charges and other
income (expense). Adjusted EBITDA is presented because it is a widely accepted
financial indicator of a cable company's ability to service indebtedness.
However, adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to income
from operations or to cash flows from operating, investing or financing
activities, as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles. Adjusted EBITDA should also not be construed as an indication of a
company's operating performance or as a measure of liquidity. In addition,
because adjusted EBITDA is not calculated identically by all companies, the
presentation here may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of
other companies. Management's discretionary use of funds depicted by adjusted
EBITDA may be limited by working capital, debt service and capital expenditure
requirements and by restrictions related to legal requirements, commitments and
uncertainties.


COMPARISON OF RESULTS

        As a result of the acquisition of the Company by Charter Communications
Holding Company, LLC (the "Charter Acquisition"), the application of push-down
accounting, and the allocation of purchase price, the financial results for the
periods presented above are not comparable. In addition, prior to the Charter
Acquisition, Avalon Cable of Michigan Holdings, Inc. acquired Mercom, Inc.
(Mercom), and the Company acquired eight other cable systems. These transactions
further complicate comparison of the above results.

        REVENUES. Revenues increased $3.5 million, or 14.0%, to $28.0 million
for the three months ended March 31, 2000, from $24.6 million for the three
months ended March 31, 1999. This increase in revenues primarily resulted from
the increase in customers due to acquisitions.

        OPERATING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Operating, general and
administrative expenses increased $0.8 million, or 5.8%, to $14.6 million for
the three months ended March 31, 2000, from $13.8 million for the three months
ended March 31, 1999. This increase was primarily due to increases in license
fees paid for programming as a result of additional subscribers, new channels
launched and increases in the rates paid for programming services.

        DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION EXPENSE. Depreciation and amortization
expense increased $8.8 million, or 81.4%, to $19.7 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2000, from $10.8 million for the three months ended March 31,
1999. This increase resulted from the Charter Acquisition and the application of
push-down accounting, which significantly increased the balance of franchises.

        CORPORATE EXPENSE CHARGES - RELATED PARTIES.  These charges for the
three months ended March 31, 2000, represent costs incurred by Charter
Investment, Inc. and Charter Communications, Inc. on the Company's behalf.

        INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense decreased by $1.5 million, or 12.6%,
to $10.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000, from $11.7 million
for the three months ended March 31, 1999. This decrease was due to a decrease
in debt outstanding. In January 2000, pursuant to a change of control offer,
134,050 of the Company's 9.375% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2008 were
repurchased. In addition to the above change of




                                       12
<PAGE>   13
control repurchase, the Company repurchased the remaining 15,950 notes in the
open market. Also pursuant to a change of control offer, 16,250 of the Company's
11.875% Senior Discount Notes due 2008 were repurchased.

        BENEFIT FROM INCOME TAXES. Prior to the Charter Acquisition, the Company
filed a consolidated income tax return and recorded a tax benefit at the
Company's statutory tax rate. After the Charter Acquisition, the Company and all
subsidiaries are limited liability companies, and all income taxes are the
responsibility of the equity member of the Company and are not provided for in
the financial statements. Certain subsidiaries or corporations are subject to
income taxes but have no operations and, therefore, no material income tax
liabilities or assets.

        MINORITY INTEREST IN LOSS OF SUBSIDIARY. Following the Charter
Acquisition, the Company now owns 100% of the interests in subsidiaries.

        NET LOSS. Net loss increased by $12.8 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2000, compared to the three months ended March 31, 1999. The increase
in revenues and the decrease in interest expense were not sufficient to offset
the increases in operating, general and administrative expenses, depreciation
and amortization expenses, and the lack of a tax benefit as discussed above.

         multi-step restructuring in which Avalon Cable of Michigan Holdings
         was merged with and into CC Michigan, LLC (formerly known as Avalon
         Cable of Michigan LLC).

       - On February 24, 2000, the Company filed an amended Form 8-K (amending
         the preceding Form 8-K) dated January 28, 2000, to file a letter from
         the Company's previous principal independent accountants.
