                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (UNAUDITED)



A.  Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission, certain financial information has been condensed and certain 
footnote disclosures have been omitted. Such information and disclosures are
normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting  principles.

These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and notes thereto in the Company's latest report on Form 
10-K.

The financial statements as of April 30, 1994 and for the six month period
then ended are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, such 
statements include all adjustments (consisting solely of normal and recurring
adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial information included
therein.

B.  The consolidated statements of operations for the six months ended April
30, 1994, are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be 
expected for the full year.

C.  Earnings per common share are computed based upon the weighted average
common shares outstanding during the period, including common stock 
equivalents, of 24,685,832 shares and 24,613,854 shares for 1994 and 1993,
respectively.

D.  On March 1, 1994, the Company sold the assets of the cable television
systems serving 807 subscribers in two cities.  The sales price was $1,009,000 
resulting in an increase in net income of approximately $558,000 or $.02 per
share.

E.  In March 1994, the Company acquired 40% of the stock of Intermedia
Technologies, Inc. The Company also acquired a 40% interest in Intermedia 
Technologies, Ltd., a limited partnership engaged in telecommunications
engineering and construction.  Intermedia Technologies, Inc. is the general
partner of Intermedia Technologies, Ltd.  The Company's investment in both
entities was approximately $120,000 paid in cash from operations.

F.  In April 1994, the Company acquired 80% of the stock of AvComm Corporation 
("AvComm"), a new company formed to sell telecommunications services.  The 
purchase price of $160,000 was obtained from operations. The consolidated 
financial statements include the accounts of AvComm. All material intercompany 
transactions and balances have been eliminated.

G.  On May 3, 1994, the Company announced its intention to buy back into
treasury up to one million shares of the Company's common stock.  Shares 
purchased will be available for use in acquisitions or other corporate
purposes.  As of June 9, 1994, the Company had repurchased 110,000 shares.

H.  On June 1, 1994, the Company acquired 50% of the common stock of TCA
Communications, Inc. ("TCAC"). TCAC is a new corporation whose initial purpose
will be to sell long distance telephone services in the cable television 
communities presently served by the Company and in other adjacent markets. The
acquisition was funded by the payment of $2 million in cash obtained from
operations.  The remaining 50% of TCAC is owned by a privately held independent
long distance company.

                   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Comparison of the three-month period ended April 30,
1994, with the same three-month period of the prior year reveals increases in 
revenues and net income. Revenues and net income increased by approximately  5%
and 14%, respectively. Operating income decreased by approximately 3%.

The revenue increase was mostly attributable to internal growth.  The Company's
basic accounts increased from 449,183 at April 30, 1993 to 460,360 at April 30, 
1994 or approximately 2%. Average revenue per account increased from $28.00 to 
$28.80 or approximately 3%.

Operating expenses increased approximately 9% during the second quarter of
fiscal 1994 as compared to the second quarter of fiscal 1993. Management 
attributes approximately 62% of this increase to increased salaries, wages and 
benefits and approximately 26% to increases in programming costs.  The remainder
of the increase in operating expenses arises from general expansion of the 
Company's cable system operations.

Interest expense decreased by $421,000 or approximately 15%.  The decrease was
attributable to the repayment of term debt.

During the second quarter of 1994, several of the Company's cable television
systems were severely damaged by ice storms.  The uninsured damages from these 
ice storms decreased the Company's revenue for the second quarter by 
approximately $224,000. Operating income before depreciation was reduced
approximately $598,000 or 3% and net income was reduced approximately $371,000,
or 1%.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES - The Company's capital expenditures have been
primarily for cable system construction, upgrading and rebuilding, acquisition 
of other cable systems and purchases of converters to be furnished to 
subscribers.

Expenditures for rebuilding, upgrading and maintaining the Company's cable
systems and for converter purchases have been financed principally with cash 
flow from operations. Acquisitions of cable systems have generally been financed
with cash flow from operations and through bank borrowings.
