              This amendment is filed for the purposes of restating
         the appraisal results (described below) to reflect a cor-
         rected appraisal received from Kane-Reece Associates, Inc.
         (the results initially reported by Kane-Reece Associates,
         Inc. contained an incorrect value).  Kane-Reece Associates,
         Inc. had initially delivered an Appraisal indicating an ap-
         praised value of $245.80 million.  Kane-Reece Associates,
         Inc.'s corrected report, delivered on March 22, 1996, indi-
         cates an appraised value of $245.29 million.  "Item 5.  Other
         Events" is amended and restated below in its entirety.
             

         ITEM 5.   OTHER EVENTS.

              The Partnership Agreement of Falcon Cable Systems Com-
         pany, a California limited partnership (the "Partnership")
         provides that Falcon Holding Group, L.P., the Partnership's
         general partner (the "General Partner") shall use its best
         efforts to cause the Partnership to sell all of the
         Partnership's cable systems between December 31, 1991 and
         December 31, 1996, the "termination date" of the Partnership.
         The Partnership has stated in prior public reports and fil-
         ings that, from time to time, it may enter into discussions
         regarding the sale of its cable systems to affiliates or
         other parties.

              In addition, the Partnership Agreement provides the Gen-
         eral Partner or its affiliates the right to purchase for cash
         substantially all of the Partnership's cable systems at any
         time after December 31, 1991 without soliciting unaffiliated
         purchasers (the "Purchase Right").  Pursuant to the Part-
         nership Agreement, in the event the General Partner or its
         affiliates exercise such right, the purchase price will be
         determined solely by reference to an "appraised value" deter-
         mined pursuant to an appraisal process set forth in the Part-
         nership Agreement (the "Appraisal Process").  The Partnership
         Agreement provides that the "appraised value" shall be deter-
         mined by the average of three appraisal evaluations of the
         Partnership's cable systems and provides that one appraiser
         is to be selected by the General Partner; one appraiser is to
         be selected by a majority vote of the independent members of
         the Partnership's advisory committee; and one appraiser is to
         be selected by the two appraisers already so chosen.  If any
         such appraisal is expressed as a range, then in calculating
         the average, the minimum amount of such appraisal shall be
         used.  In the event of a sale of a cable system, including a
         sale to the General Partner or its affiliates, the General
         Partner will be entitled to a fee equal to 2 1/2% of gross
         proceeds from the sale less any amounts paid as brokerage or
         similar fees to third parties (the "Sale Fee").

              As previously disclosed, the General Partner, in its
         exploration of the possibility of exercising the Purchase
         Right, initiated the Appraisal Process.  Also as previously<PAGE>





         disclosed, in accordance with the Appraisal Process, the ap-
         praiser to be selected by a majority vote of the independent
         members of the Partnership's advisory committee, the ap-
         praiser to be selected by the General Partner, and the ap-
         praiser selected by the two appraisers so chosen, were each
         selected earlier this year.  The three appraisers are, re-
         spectively, Malarkey-Taylor Associates, Inc., Kane-Reece As-
         sociates, Inc., and Waller Capital Corporation (the "Apprais-
         ers").

            
              On March 11, 1996, each of the Appraisers delivered sum-
         maries of the results of their appraisals (the "Appraisals"),
         which are attached hereto as Exhibits 1, 2 and 3, respec-
         tively, and are incorporated herein by reference.  Based upon
         the Appraisals, as of December 31, 1995, the "appraised
         value" (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) of all of
         the cable systems owned by the Partnership (the "Total Sys-
         tems") is $247.40 million (the "Total Systems Appraised
         Value").  The Total Systems Appraised Value is calculated as
         the average of $283.23 million, $245.29 million, and $213.67
         million, the appraised values as of December 31, 1995 of all
         of the cable systems owned by the Partnership, as set forth
         in the Appraisals delivered by each of Malarkey-Taylor As-
         sociates, Inc., Kane-Reece Associates, Inc., and Waller Capi-
         tal Corporation, respectively.
             
            
              Based upon the Total Systems Appraised Value of $247.40
         million, and assuming a hypothetical liquidation of the Part-
         nership on December 31, 1995 involving the sale of the Total
         Systems on that date for an amount equal to the Total Systems
         Appraised Value, the estimated cash distribution to unithold-
         ers would have been $9.08 per unit (the "Hypothetical Esti-
         mated Per Unit Distribution") (based upon 6,398,913 units
         outstanding).  The Hypothetical Estimated Per Unit Distribu-
         tion was calculated assuming (i) net liabilities on the bal-
         ance sheet of the Partnership, excluding property, plant and
         equipment and intangible assets ("Net Liabilities") of ap-
         proximately $183.09 million (as of December 31, 1995) and
         (ii) a Sale Fee equal to approximately $6.19 million (2 1/2%
         of the Total Systems Appraised Value), each of which the
         Partnership Agreement would require be paid prior to the dis-
         tribution of any remaining cash to unitholders.  The Hypo-
         thetical Estimated Per Unit Distribution assumes, which as-
         sumption may or may not be correct, that the Net Liabilities
         as of December 31, 1995 and the Sale Fee represent the only
         payments that would have been required to be made by the
         Partnership prior to the distribution of cash to the
         unitholders; the Hypothetical Estimated Per Unit Distribution
         is presented for illustrative purposes only and does not nec-
         essarily represent amounts the Partnership could have dis-
         tributed to unitholders on December 31, 1995 or any date
         thereafter.

              The Appraisals each set forth certain matters considered
         by the respective Appraisers.  In connection with rendering
         their Appraisals, the Appraisers performed a variety of fi-
         nancial analyses which are summarized in the respective Ap-
         praisals.  No limitations were imposed by the Partnership
         with respect to the investigations made or the procedures
         followed by the Appraisers in rendering their Appraisals.
         The General Partner is under no obligation to exercise the
         Purchase Right, nor can there be any assurance that the Part-
         nership would otherwise be able to sell all or any portion of
         its assets at prices consistent with the Total Systems Ap-
         praised Value.  The Total Systems Appraised Value should ac-
         cordingly not be assumed to be a guarantee as to the value of
         limited partnership interests in the Partnership, nor as to
         the proceeds that might be realized by the Partnership in
         connection with a sale or other disposition of all or any
         portion of the assets of the Partnership, whether to the Gen-
         eral Partner or otherwise. 

              As described in the Appraisals, the Appraisals are based
         upon numerous sources of information including data supplied
         by Falcon, which included certain projections.  The Company
         does not as a matter of course make public any forecasts as
         to its future financial performance.  THE PROJECTIONS WERE
         PREPARED SOLELY FOR INTERNAL USE AND NOT WITH A VIEW TO PUB-
         LIC DISCLOSURE OR COMPLIANCE WITH THE PUBLISHED GUIDELINES OF
         THE COMMISSION OR THE AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC
         ACCOUNTANTS REGARDING PROJECTIONS AND WERE NOT PREPARED WITH
         THE ASSISTANCE OF, OR REVIEWED BY, INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS.
         SUCH PROJECTIONS WERE PROVIDED TO THE APPRAISERS SOLELY FOR
         THE PURPOSES OF THEIR APPRAISALS.  NONE OF THE PARTNERSHIP OR
         ANY PARTY TO WHOM THE PROJECTIONS WERE PROVIDED ASSUMES ANY
         RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE VALIDITY, REASONABLENESS, ACCURACY OR
         COMPLETENESS OF THE PROJECTIONS.  WHILE PRESENTED WITH NU-
         MERICAL SPECIFICITY, THE PROJECTIONS ARE BASED ON A VARIETY
         OF ASSUMPTIONS RELATING TO THE BUSINESSES OF THE PARTNERSHIP,
         INDUSTRY PERFORMANCE, GENERAL BUSINESS AND ECONOMIC CONDI-
         TIONS AND OTHER MATTERS WHICH ARE SUBJECT TO SIGNIFICANT UN-
         CERTAINTIES AND CONTINGENCIES, MANY OF WHICH ARE BEYOND THE
         PARTNERSHIP'S CONTROL, AND, THEREFORE, SUCH PROJECTIONS ARE
         INHERENTLY IMPRECISE AND THERE CAN BE NO ASSURANCE THAT THEY
         WILL BE REALIZED.  ALSO, ACTUAL FUTURE RESULTS MAY VARY MATE-
         RIALLY FROM THOSE SHOWN IN THE PROJECTIONS.  THE PARTNERSHIP
         IS NOT UNDER ANY OBLIGATION TO UPDATE THE PROJECTIONS AT ANY
         FUTURE TIME.

              Each of the Appraisers is a nationally recognized cable
         system appraisal firm and is continually engaged in the valu-
         ation of cable systems.  Each of the appraisers has from time
         to time provided valuation services to the Partnership and
         its affiliates for which they have received customary compen-
         sation.




                                       -3-<PAGE>





              As previously disclosed, certain affiliates (the "Af-
         filiates") of the Partnership and its General Partner, in-
         cluding Marc B. Nathanson (the Chairman of the Board, Chief
         Executive Officer, President and a director of Falcon Holding
         Group, Inc., the General Partner's sole general partner) have
         made a preliminary proposal (the "Proposal") to the indepen-
         dent members of the Partnership's advisory committee with
         respect to an exchange transaction (the "Exchange").  Under
         the Proposal, the Exchange would take place immediately prior
         to the exercise by the General Partner or its affiliates of
         their right to purchase for cash substantially all of the
         Partnership's cable systems remaining after giving effect to
         the Exchange (the "Sale Systems").  In the Exchange, substan-
         tially all of the Falcon Units owned by the Affiliates would
         be exchanged for a portion (by value) of the Partnership's
         cable systems (the "Exchange Systems") equal to the propor-
         tion of total outstanding Units exchanged by the Affiliates
         (the Affiliates would also relieve Falcon of an equal propor-
         tion of its total debt).

              The Proposal was designed such that unaffiliated unit-
         holders would receive the same per unit distribution upon the
         sale of the Partnership's assets to the General Partner in
         accordance with Section 3.14 and the subsequent dissolution
         and liquidation of the Partnership, whether or not the Ex-
         change takes place as part of such sale and liquidation.
         Thus, if the General Partner and the Affiliates proceed with
         the Proposal, unaffiliated unitholders will receive the same
         per unit distribution that they would receive if the General
         Partner were to simply to exercise the Purchase Right with
         respect to the Total Systems at the Total Systems Appraised
         Value.

              In furtherance of this process, on March 11, 1996, the
         General Partner designated to the Appraisers those cable sys-
         tems of the Partnership that would constitute the Exchange
         Systems in the event the Proposal is pursued.  The Appraisers
         will determine the "appraised value" (as defined in the Part-
         nership Agreement) of (i) the Exchange Systems and (ii) the
         Sale Systems.  Based upon this information, in the event the
         Proposal is pursued, the actual number of Units to be ex-
         changed by the Affiliates in the Exchange (and the actual
         amount of the Partnership's indebtedness that the Affiliates
         would relieve Partnership of) would be adjusted to result in
         the unaffiliated unitholders receiving exactly the same per
         unit distribution whether or not the Exchange occurs in ad-
         vance of the exercise of the Purchase Right with respect to
         the Sale Systems.

              Any decision of the General Partner or the Partnership
         to pursue the Proposal, the Exchange, or the sale of the
         cable systems of the Partnership in accordance with the Pur-
         chase Right (as described above) or otherwise, ultimately
         will be dependent upon numerous factors including, without


                                       -4-<PAGE>





         limitation, (i) the receipt by the General Partner of an
         opinion of a qualified appraiser or other financial advisor
         selected by the independent members of the Partnership's ad-
         visory committee as to, among other things, the fairness of
         the Proposal as compared to a sale of all of the Partner-
         ship's cable systems (without giving effect to the Exchange)
         to the General Partner or its affiliates in accordance with
         their rights under the Partnership Agreement (as described
         above), or the conclusion on another basis that such fairness
         was otherwise established; (ii) the availability of necessary
         equity and debt financing on favorable terms; (iii) the rela-
         tive attractiveness of available alternative business and
         investment opportunities; (iv) the regulatory environment for
         cable properties; and (v) future developments relating to the
         Partnership and the cable industry, general economic condi-
         tions and other future developments.  As previously dis-
         closed, if the Proposal is pursued and the Exchange is con-
         summated, the Affiliates expect that they would defer their
         potential tax liability as compared to a liquidation of the
         Partnership without effecting the Exchange.

              Although the foregoing reflects activities which the
         General Partner is currently exploring with the Partnership
         and the Affiliates with respect to the Partnership, the fore-
         going is subject to change at any time.  Accordingly, there
         can be no assurance that the Proposal, the Exchange, or the
         sale of the cable systems of the Partnership in accordance
         with the rights of the General Partner and its affiliates
         under the terms of the Partnership Agreement (as described
         above) or otherwise will be pursued or, if pursued, when and
         if any of them will be successfully consummated.  For ad-
         ditional information on the terms of the Partnership Agree-
         ment, see "Item 1 --  Business -- Introduction" and Item 13
         -- "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions -- Con-
         flicts of Interest" in the Partnership's Annual Report on
         Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1994.

              The Partnership previously reported that it has entered
         into a letter agreement (the "Letter Agreement"), a copy of
         which was filed as an exhibit to the Current Report on Form
         8-K of the Partnership dated January 29, 1996, with a group
         of holders of limited partnership interests in the Partner-
         ship (the "Unofficial Unitholder Committee").  Pursuant to
         the Letter Agreement, the Partnership has supplied the Unof-
         ficial Unitholder Committee with all materials it has sup-
         plied to the Appraisers.

                   [LETTERHEAD OF KANE REECE ASSOCIATES, INC.]


         March 11, 1996

                                            VIA FEDEX

         Mr. Michael K. Menerey
         Chief Financial Officer
         Falcon Holding Group, L.P. 
         474 South Raymond Avenue, Suite 200
         Pasadena, CA  91105

         Dear Mr. Menerey:

         In accordance with your authorization, Kane Reece Associates,
         Inc. ("Kane Reece" or the "appraisers") has made an
         investigation and valuation of the cable television assets of
         Falcon Cable Systems Company ("FCSC") and each of its seven
         regions (the "Regions").  The purpose of this letter is to pro-
         vide a summary of our findings.

         This valuation study was conducted to determine the fair market
         value of 100% of FCSC's and each of the Region's assets as of
         December 31, 1995.  The appraisal was conducted pursuant to
         Section 3.14 of the FCSC Partnership Agreement as Amended and
         Restated.  This is the sole purpose of this appraisal.

         Fair market value, as used herein, is defined as the price, in
         cash or equivalent, that a buyer could reasonably be expected
         to pay and a seller could reasonably be expected to accept, if
         the property were exposed for sale on the open market for a
         reasonable period of time, both buyer and seller being in
         possession of the pertinent facts, and neither being under
         compulsion to act, as of a certain date.

         Our methodology for determining the fair market value of any
         CATV property incorporates an assessment of the potential
         revenues and cash flows the property will generate over an
         appropriate investment term and the likely appreciation in
         value of the property over that term.  We corroborate this cal-
         culated economic valuation with an analysis of recent sales of
         comparable properties to the extent available and relevant.

         As part of the research required for our study, the appraisers
         were furnished materials on historical and prospective
         operations.  We have also consulted recognized sources of
         financial and industry information, visited each Region area to
         physically inspect facilities and the service area and inter-
         viewed management.

         Kane Reece and the report to follow comply with the appraisal
         standards set forth in the Uniform Standards of Professional
         Appraisal Practice and those promulgated by the American
         Society of Appraisers.<PAGE>

         Service Conditions attached, it is Kane Reece's opinion that
         the fair market value of 100% of FCSC's and each Region's
         assets as of December 31, 1995 were:
