                   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, 1996 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,
     1996, 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 24,630,144 shares and 24,559,659 shares for 1996 and 1995,
     respectively.
 
D.  On April 9, 1996, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire the cable
     television system serving approximately 8,100 subscribers in and around
     Alma, Barling and Van Buren, Arkansas. The purchase price of $12.7 million
     will be financed from the Company's bank lines of credit. The anticipated
     closing date is late summer 1996.
 
E.  On May 1, 1996, the Company assumed operations in five additional cable
     television markets through a partnership with Donrey Media Group
     ("Donrey"), a division of Stephens Group, Inc. of Little Rock, Arkansas.
     The partnership, TCA Cable Partners, is comprised of 22 of the Company's
     systems in Arkansas and Mississippi, and five Donrey systems in Arkansas,
     Oklahoma and California. The partnership is owned 75 percent by the Company
     and 25 percent by Donrey. The partnership serves approximately 224,000
     subscribers.
 
F.  On May 1, 1996, the Company acquired Cable One Corporation, a cable
     television advertising company based in Williamsport, Pennsylvania. Cable
     One sells advertising in cable markets serving approximately 1.2 million
     subscribers. The acquisition was financed by the issuance of 266,666 shares
     of the Company's stock and $2 million in cash obtained from operations.

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
     Results Of Operations -- Comparison of the three-month period ended April
30, 1996, with the same three-month period of the prior year reveals increases
in revenues, operating income, and net income. Revenues, operating income, and
net income increased by approximately 31%, 27%, and 16%, respectively.
 
     Approximately 31% of the revenue increase was from internal growth and 69%
from acquisitions. The Company's basic accounts increased from 471,991 at April
30, 1995 to 581,252 at April 30, 1996 or approximately 23%. Approximately
100,000 basic accounts, or 90% of the increase was the result of acquisitions.
Average revenue per account increased from $31.04 to $33.03 or approximately 6%.
 
     Operating expenses increased approximately 33% during the second quarter of
fiscal 1996 as compared to the second quarter of fiscal 1995. Salaries, wages
and benefits increased 28%. Programming costs and other operating expenses
increased 39% and 15%, respectively. Selling, general and administrative
expenses increased 32%. Depreciation and amortization increased 24%.
 
     Interest expense increased by $3.1 million or approximately 129% as a
result of borrowings made to finance approximately $200 million of acquisitions
since April 30, 1995. The Company's weighted average interest rate was 6.94% and
8.05% at April 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
 
     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.
