                                  (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 July 31, 1996 and for the nine-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 nine months ended July 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 24,886,753 shares and 24,573,796 shares for 1996 and 1995,
respectively.

D. 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.

E. On May 1, 1996, the Company also entered into a ten-year financial advisory
services agreement in exchange for a warrant to purchase 300,000 shares of the
Company's stock. 150,000 shares are exercisable May 1, 2001 and 150,000 shares
are exercisable May 1, 2006. The value of the warrant is amortized on a
staight-line basis over the ten-year life, $187,800 per year, or $46,950 per
quarter.

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.

G. On June 20, 1996, the Company signed an agreement with TCI Communications,
Inc. ("TCI") to trade the assets of the Vallejo, California cable operation for
the assets of TCI's Ft. Smith, Arkansas and Sallisaw, Oklahoma cable systems.

administrative expenses increased 80%. Depreciation and amortization increased
19%. Approximately 75% of the increases were from acquisitions.

Interest expense increased by approximately $1.5 million or 39%. The increase
was attributable to an increase in term debt to fund acquisitions.

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
