     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 January 31, 1996 and for the three
           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 three months ended
           January 31, 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 24,613,254 shares and 24,588,610
           shares for 1996 and 1995, respectively.

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


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Comparison of the three-month period ended January 31,
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 27%, 25% and 10%, respectively.

Approximately 32% of the revenue increase was attributable to internal growth
and 68% from acquisitions.  The Company's basic accounts increased from 468,662
at January 31, 1995 to 574,473 at January 31, 1996, or approximately 23%.
Approximately 100,000 basic accounts, or 95%, of the increase was the result of
acquisitions.  Average revenue per account increased from $30.93 to $32.75 or
approximately 6%.

Operating expenses increased approximately 28% during the first quarter of
fiscal 1996 as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 1995.  Salaries, wages
and benefits increased 22%.  Programming costs and other operating expenses
increased 29% and 22%, respectively.  Selling, general and administrative
expenses increased 39%.  Depreciation and amortization increased 31%.

Interest expense increased by $2.9 million or approximately 117% as a result of
borrowings made to finance the Company's acquisition of cable television
properties.  The Company's weighted average interest rate was 7.09% and 8.03%
at January 31, 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.
