PART I (continued)
ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
Results of Operations
Cable television revenues totalled $1,790,598 for the three months ended March
31, 1995, representing an increase of approximately 46% over the same period in
1994. Of these revenues, $1,256,971 (70%) was derived from basic service
charges, $217,908 (12%) from premium services, $124,593 (7%) from tier
services, $48,275 (3%) from installation charges, $44,375 (2%) from service
maintenance contracts and $98,476 (6%) from other sources. The increase in
revenue is attributable to the acquisition of the Corsicana, TX system, and a
significant increase in advertising revenue.
As of March 31, 1995, the Partnership's systems served approximately 20,800
basic subscribers, 7,800 premium subscribers and 9,100 tier subscribers.
Cable television operating expenses totalled $154,822 for the three months
ended March 31, 1995, representing an increase of approximately 24% over the
same period in 1994. This is mainly due to the acquisition of the Corsicana,
TX system.
Cable television general and administrative expenses totalled $448,667 for the
three months ended March 31, 1995, representing an increase of approximately
39% over the same period in 1994. This is due to the acquisition of the
Corsicana, TX system and increases in revenue based expenses (i.e., franchise
fees, management fees, copyright fees) which coincide with revenue increases
noted above offset by a decrease in discretionary incentive compensation.
Cable television programming expenses totalled $449,273 for the three months
ended March 31, 1995, reflecting an increase of approximately 101% over the
same period in 1994. This is mainly due to the additional subscribers in the
Corsicana, TX system, higher costs charged by program suppliers and additional
salary and benefit costs related to local programming and advertising support.
The radio station operations included revenues of $61,223 derived primarily
from advertising sales. Radio operation expenses are primarily comprised of
programming and salary and benefit costs.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased approximately 24% as compared
to the same period in 1994. This is mainly due to depreciation and
amortization on plant, equipment and intangible assets acquired with the
purchase of the Corsicana, TX system and the radio station.
Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 1995 increased
approximately 169% as compared to the same period in 1994. The average bank
debt outstanding increased from
-6-
<PAGE> 7
$9,068,000 during the first quarter of 1994 to $17,289,000 during the first
quarter of 1995 due to increased borrowings to finance the acquisition of the
Corsicana, TX system and the radio station. In addition, the Partnership's
effective interest rate increased from 5.00% in 1994 to 8.30% in 1995.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Partnership's primary sources of liquidity are cash flow provided from
operations. Based on management's analysis, the Partnership's cash flow from
operations is sufficient to cover future operating costs, debt service and
planned capital expenditures.
Under the terms of the Partnership's loan agreement, the Partnership has agreed
to restrictive covenants which require the maintenance of certain ratios
including a maximum ratio of senior debt to annualized operating cash flow of
6.00 to 1 and minimum ratios of annualized operating cash flow to debt service
of 1.20 to 1 and annualized operating cash flow to fixed charges of 1.05 to 1.
As of March 31, 1995 the Partnership was in compliance with its required
financial covenants.
The balance outstanding under the credit facility is $17,178,438. As of the
date of this filing, interest rates on the credit facility were as follows:
$7,878,438 fixed at 8.44% under the terms of an amortizing interest rate swap
agreement expiring September 30, 1996; and $9,300,000 fixed at 8.18% expiring
August 1, 1995. The above rates include a margin paid to the lender based on
overall leverage, and may decrease if the Partnership's leverage decreases.
Capital Expenditures
During the first quarter of 1995, the Partnership incurred approximately
$33,000 (excluding the radio station acquisition) in capital expenditures
including channel additions in the Cedar Creek, TX and Forest City, NC systems,
and a line extension in the Forest City, NC system.
Planned capital expenditures for the balance of 1995 include line extensions in
the various systems, initial phases of a system upgrade to 330 MHz in the Cedar
Creek, TX system, channel additions and the development of local programming in
the Corsicana, TX system.
Acquisition
On January 16, 1995, Corsicana Media, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary, acquired
the operating assets of KAN-D Land, Inc. (an AM radio station located in
Corsicana, TX) for a total price of $500,000. Of the total purchase price
$450,000 was paid at closing and $50,000 will be paid in October 1995 under the
terms of an unsecured, subordinated, non-interest bearing, hold-back note. The
acquisition was financed through an equity contribution made by the
Partnership.

Effects of Regulation
On October 5, 1992, Congress enacted the Cable Television Consumer Protection
and Competition Act of 1992 (the "1992 Act"). The 1992 Act substantially
reregulated the cable television industry and imposed numerous requirements,
including provisions subjecting rates for certain services and equipment to
regulation by the applicable local franchising authority and by the Federal
Communications Commission ("FCC"), exclusive programming arrangements, the
carriage of broadcast signals, customer service standards, leased access
channels, customer premises equipment compatibility and various other matters.
On April 1, 1993, the FCC announced the adoption of rate regulations which
became effective September 1, 1993. Under those initial regulations, rates
were evaluated against "competitive benchmarks" and were generally subject to
rollbacks if they exceeded the benchmark levels. On February 22, 1994, the FCC
substantially revised the rate regulation rules to effect further rate
reductions effective May 15, 1994, or later in certain circumstances, based on
complex formulas and revised benchmarks.
All of the Partnership's cable systems are potentially subject to rate
regulation. The 1992 Act (i) requires the FCC to establish rate standards for
basic cable service rates which may be regulated by the applicable local
franchising authority, (ii) requires the FCC, upon receipt of a complaint, to
review rates for additional tiers of cable service, (iii) regulates rates for
mandatorily offered commercial leased access channels and (iv) eliminates the
automatic five percent annual increase for basic rates allowed under prior law.
Rates for channels offered on a per-channel basis as individual purchase
options and pay-per-view events are excluded from rate regulation.
Basic service rates, including the equipment used to receive basic service, may
be regulated by a local franchising authority once it has been "certified" by
the FCC. When the certification becomes effective, the local franchise
authority may request the cable operator to justify its existing rates charged
for basic service and related equipment ("request for justification" or "RFJ").
Rates charged in excess of the maximum allowable rates determined under FCC
regulations are subject to refund for the period in which the excess rates were
charged or one year, whichever is shorter. Additional tiers of service are
subject to regulation only upon an appropriately filed complaint to the FCC by
any subscriber, franchising authority or other person ("subscriber
complaints"). If no subscriber complaints are filed within 45 days of a change
in the FCC regulated rates, such rates are not subject to challenge unless and
until the cable operator seeks to modify them. Refund liability, if any,
generally would be limited to any incremental increase in rates. In late 1994,
the FCC revised its rules to permit cable operators to offer New Product Tiers
at rates which they elect so long as, among other conditions, other channels
that are subject to rate regulation are priced in conformity with applicable
regulations and cable operators do not remove programming services from
existing service tiers and offer them on the New Product Tier.
On May 5, 1995, the FCC announced the adoption of a simplified set of rate
regulation rules that will apply to "small" cable systems, defined as a system
serving 15,000 or fewer subscribers, that are owned by "small" companies,
defined as a company serving 400,000 or fewer subscribers. Under the FCC's
definition, the Partnership is a "small" company and each of the Partnership's
cable systems are "small" systems. As of the date of this filing, the FCC
-8-
<PAGE> 9
has not released the text of its new rules so the Partnership is unable to
determine the ultimate effects of the regulatory change. Based on the FCC's
public comments, however, the new rules are anticipated to provide a
significant degree of relief from rate regulation for the Partnership's
systems.
As of the date of this filing, no local franchising authorities have elected to
certify, no RFJ's have been received from franchise authorities, and no
subscriber complaints have been filed.
Future rate increases under this regulatory environment will be dependent on
several factors including the level of inflation as measured by the annual
change in the GNP-PI index, increases in "external costs" as defined by the FCC
and possible changes to the existing rules regarding rate increases associated
with the launch of new services on regulated tiers. Because of the
uncertainties associated with these factors the future impact of rate
regulation on the Partnership's results of operations cannot be determined at
this time. Management feels it is reasonably possible under the price cap
mechanism that operating margins will stabilize and perhaps increase in future
periods as inflation and external cost increases are allowed to be passed
through to subscribers through rate adjustments.
