                     NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)


1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been condensed or omitted.

On August 31, 1999, the Partnership consummated the sale of all of its cable
television systems. As a result of this transaction, the Partnership changed its
basis of accounting to the liquidation basis on September 1, 1999. Accordingly,
the assets in the accompanying unaudited statement of assets and liabilities in
liquidation as of September 30, 1999 have been stated at estimated realizable
values and the liabilities have been reflected at estimated settlement amounts.

Net assets in liquidation as of September 30, 1999 in the accompanying statement
of assets and liabilities in liquidation represents the estimated distribution
to be made to the Limited Partners and the General Partner, if any. Proceeds
ultimately received by the partners upon liquidation could differ from the
amounts recorded in the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities in
liquidation.

The General Partner's intention is to terminate the Partnership as expeditiously
as possible. After all distributions from Cencom Partners, L.P. ("CPLP") (see
Note 3 for related discussion) are received, the funds have been released from
several indemnification escrow accounts pertaining to the sale of the
Partnership's cable systems, the receipt of proceeds from note receivable from
buyer of cable system, the Partnership's outstanding obligations will be paid
and the remaining proceeds less required income tax withholdings of
approximately $85,000 will be distributed in December 1999. Upon its
termination, the Partnership will cease to be a public entity and will no longer
be subject to the informational reporting requirements of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

2. RESPONSIBILITY FOR INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS:

The financial statements of Cencom Cable Income Partners II, L.P. (the
"Partnership" or "CCIP II") as of August 31, 1999 and September 30, 1998, are
unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, such statements include all
adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods
presented. The interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Partnership's Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998. Interim results are not necessarily
indicative of results for a full year.

3. INVESTMENT IN UNCONSOLIDATED LIMITED PARTNERSHIP:

The Partnership owns limited partnership units of CPLP which provide the
Partnership an 84.03% ownership interest in CPLP. The Partnership accounts for
its investment in CPLP using the equity method. For the eight months period
ended August 31, 1999, the Partnership recorded equity in income from its
investment in CPLP totaling $7,411,528.

4. DISPOSITIONS:

On April 1, 1999, CCIP II sold its cable television systems serving
approximately 11,800 basic subscribers in the communities of Angleton, Aqua
Dolce, Belleville, Driscoll, Hempstead, Kingsville, and Sealy, Texas
(collectively, the "Texas Systems"). The purchaser of the Texas Systems was Etan
Industries, Inc. ("Etan"), an unaffiliated third party. The sale price was $20.8
million, subject to working capital adjustments. Net proceeds were used to repay
outstanding bank indebtedness and a payable to CPLP. CCIP II used the remaining
net proceeds, less amounts held in an indemnity escrow and required income tax
withholdings, plus the distribution received from CPLP (as described below), to
make distributions to its partners in accordance with the liquidation provisions
of the Partnership Agreement. Pursuant to the asset purchase agreement,
$1,040,000 was deposited into an indemnification escrow account. These funds
will be released to the Partnership upon mutual satisfaction of the
Partnership's representations and warranties related to the assets that were
sold.

On April 1, 1999, CPLP sold its remaining cable television systems serving
approximately 6,400 basic subscribers in the communities in and around LaGrange,
Texas (collectively, the "LaGrange Systems"). The purchaser of the cable
television systems was Etan and the sales price was $11.2 million, subject to
working capital adjustments. The sale of the LaGrange Systems completes CPLP's
dissolution of its cable television assets. CPLP used the net proceeds from the
sale, less a holdback for contingencies and amounts held in an indemnity escrow,
to satisfy the liabilities and expenses of CPLP, with the remaining funds
distributed to its partners, of which CCIP II received 84.03%.

In May 1999, the Partnership entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with
Galaxy Telecom, L.P., an unaffiliated third party, pursuant to which the
Partnership's remaining northeast Missouri systems would be sold. Consummation
of the sale occurred on August 31, 1999. The sale price was approximately $1.2
million, subject to working capital adjustments, with approximately $58,500
deposited into an indemnification escrow account and approximately $99,500 in
the form of a promissory note due on December 15, 1999. The funds held in escrow
will be released to the Partnership upon mutual satisfaction of the
Partnership's representations and warranties related to the assets that were
sold.

5. DEBT:

On April 1, 1999, the Partnership paid off its outstanding indebtedness under
the Partnership's and CPLP's joint bank credit facility with the proceeds from
the sale of the Texas Systems. As of April 1, 1999, there was no indebtedness
outstanding under this facility and the credit facility was terminated. In
connection therewith, the Partnership recognized an extraordinary loss of
$195,500 pertaining to the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs.

6. LITIGATION:

Abeles v. Cencom Cable Entertainment, Inc., et. al.

On June 17, 1998, approximately 400 limited partners in CCIP II (the "Cencom
Plaintiffs"), filed a lawsuit against the General Partner and Cencom Cable
Entertainment, Inc. ("CCE", together with the General Partner, "Cencom
Defendants"), and three brokerage firms involved in the original sale of limited
partnership units. CCE provided management services to the Partnership and also
owned all of the stock of the General Partner prior to mid-1994.

The Cencom Plaintiffs allege that the Cencom Defendants are liable for fraud,
negligent misrepresentation or omission, negligence, breach of fiduciary duty,
breach of implied covenants and violations of the Missouri Merchandising
Practices Act in connection with the sale of limited partnership interests in
CCIP II commencing in 1987. The Cencom Plaintiffs seek recision of the purchase
of the securities along with ancillary damages, actual damages, punitive
damages, costs and attorneys' fees.

On August 17, 1998, the Cencom Defendants filed a motion to dismiss. On November
5, 1998, the court heard an oral argument on that motion and a ruling has not
yet been made on this motion. Discovery has been stayed during the pendency of
the motion to dismiss.

The Partnership is not named a defendant in the above case.

Wallace v. Wood, et. al.

On June 10, 1997, four limited partners of the Partnership (the "Plaintiffs")
filed a putative class action suit on behalf of the limited partners against the
General Partner, Charter Communications, Inc. ("Charter"), certain other Charter
affiliates and four present or former officers of the General Partner. The
Plaintiffs subsequently amended their lawsuit and converted it to a Derivative
Action, thus adding the Partnership as a nominal defendant (collectively, the
"Defendants").

The Plaintiffs allege that the Defendants breached the Partnership Agreement and
their fiduciary duties of loyalty and candor in connection with the management
of the Partnership and the sale of the Partnership assets to certain purchasing
affiliates. The Plaintiffs seek a declaration that the distribution to the
Limited Partners is improper, request that defendants compensate the Partnership
for all damages suffered as a result of the actions and transactions, including
interest, costs, reasonable attorneys' fees, accountants' and experts' fees and
request an accounting for all monies earned by the properties after the
effective date of the sale to the purchasing affiliates.

On May 19, 1998, the Defendants filed a motion for judgment on the pleadings,
seeking dismissal of certain of the defendants from the lawsuit. On October 12,
1999, the court issued an order granting in part and denying in part the
Defendants' motion for judgment on the pleadings.

7. RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS:

Since assumption of the responsibilities under the management services contract,
the General Partner has elected to defer payment of all such management fees.
Management fees of $4,470,894 and $4,305,023 have been deferred and are included
in Payables to General Partner and Affiliates at August 31, 1999 and September
30, 1998, respectively. In connection with the Partnership's adoption of
liquidation accounting, the payable to General Partner was reduced to $1,316,729
to reflect the estimated amounts to be paid to the General Partner, calculated
in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Partnership Agreement.

The Registrant had no results of operations for the period subsequent to August
31, 1999, as a result of the sale of its northeast Missouri system. No
discussion of operating results for the three and nine months ended September
30, 1999 versus the three and nine months ended September 30, 1998 has been
provided as such analysis is not meaningful.

Changes in Assets and Liabilities in Liquidation

Net assets in liquidation at September 30, 1999 were approximately $4.3 million,
consisting of cash and cash equivalents of approximately $3.8 million (including
restricted cash of $1,098,500 held in indemnification escrow accounts due to
provisions contained in the asset purchase agreements) and a note receivable
from buyer of cable system of approximately $99,500, offset by accrued
liquidation costs of approximately $524,000. The net change in assets and
liabilities in liquidation during the month ended September 30, 1999 was
approximately $2.8 million, which is the result of the increase in the cash and
cash equivalents balance due to interest income earned by the Partnership and an
increase in the accrued costs of liquidation to arrive for the estimated
liability associated with winding down the Partnership's operations.

Final dissolution of the Partnership and related cash distributions to the
Limited Partners and General Partner will occur upon obtaining final resolution
of all liquidation issues, including release of funds from the indemnification
escrow account. Proceeds ultimately received by the partners upon liquidation
could differ from the amounts recorded in September 30, 1999 financial
statements.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

On April 1, 1999, CCIP II sold its cable television systems serving
approximately 11,800 basic subscribers in Texas for a sale price of $20.8
million, subject to working capital adjustments. Net proceeds were used to repay
outstanding bank indebtedness of $3.8 million and a payable to CPLP of $1.864
million. CCIP II used the remaining net proceeds, less amounts held in an
indemnity escrow, plus the distribution received from CPLP (as described below),
to make distributions to its partners in accordance with the liquidation
provisions of the Partnership Agreement.

On April 1, 1999, CPLP sold its remaining cable television systems serving
approximately 6,400 basic subscribers in the communities in and around LaGrange,
Texas for a sale price of $11.2 million, subject to working capital adjustments.
The sale of these systems completes CPLP's dissolution of its cable television
assets. CPLP used the net proceeds from the sale, less a holdback for
contingencies and amounts held in an indemnity escrow, first to satisfy the
liabilities and expenses of CPLP with the remaining funds distributed to its
partners, of which CCIP II received 84.03%.

The Partnership and CPLP both maintained a credit agreement (the "Credit
Agreement") providing for borrowings up to $8,500,000 and $7,500,000 by the
Partnership and CPLP, respectively, with each borrower jointly and severally
liable in the event of default. The debt bore interest at rates, at the
Partnership's option, based on the higher of the prime rate of the Canadian
Imperial Bank of Commerce (the agent bank) or the Federal Funds Rate plus 3/4 of
1%, or the LIBOR plus applicable margins based upon the Partnership's leverage
ratio at the time of the borrowings. At March 31, 1999, the interest rate on
this outstanding indebtedness was approximately 6.69%. On April 1, 1999, all
outstanding indebtedness under the Credit Agreement was repaid from the proceeds
of the sale of the Texas Systems and the facility was terminated.

The Partnership made capital expenditures of approximately $262,000 during the
first eight months of 1999 in connection with the improvement and upgrading of
the Partnership systems.

Pursuant to the terms of the Partnership Agreement, the Partnership is required
to distribute all cash available for distribution to the Partners within 60 days
after the end of each calendar quarter and, with respect to certain available
refinancing proceeds and certain available sales proceeds, as soon as possible
following completion of the relevant transaction. However, the Partnership
suspended regular distributions


                                    Page 17

<PAGE>   18

to Limited Partners in the fourth quarter of 1993 to provide greater financial
flexibility in meeting its debt covenants and in making capital expenditures
necessary to maintain the Partnership's assets. No additional distributions have
been made other than a special distribution in June 1997 following the sale of
certain assets and a second special distribution in May 1998 from the remaining
net proceeds of the sale of the Texas Systems and distribution received from
CPLP.

In May 1999, the Partnership entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with an
unaffiliated third party pursuant to which the northeast Missouri systems would
be sold. Consummation of the sale occurred on August 31, 1999, with the
Partnership receiving cash proceeds of approximately $952,000 and a note
receivable of $99,477. Following the sale of the northeast Missouri systems, the
Partnership has sold all of its cable television assets.

Net assets in liquidation as of September 30, 1999 in the statement of assets
and liabilities in liquidation represents the estimated distribution to be made
to the Limited Partners and the General Partner, if any. Proceeds ultimately
received by the partners upon liquidation could differ from the amounts recorded
in the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities in liquidation.

The General Partner's intention is to terminate the Partnership as expeditiously
as possible. After all distributions from CPLP are received, the funds have been
released from several indemnification escrow accounts pertaining to the sale of
the Partnership's cable systems, the receipt of proceeds from note receivable
from buyer of cable system, the Partnership's outstanding obligations will be
paid and the remaining proceeds will be distributed in December 1999. Upon its
termination, the Partnership will cease to be a public entity and will no longer
be subject to the informational reporting requirements of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Year 2000 Impact

Many existing computer systems and applications, and other control devices and
embedded computer chips use only two digits (rather than four) to identify a
year in the date field, failing to consider the impact of the upcoming change in
the century. As a result, such systems, applications, devices, and chips could
create erroneous results or might fail altogether unless corrected properly to
interpret data related to the year 2000 and beyond (the "Year 2000 Problem").
These errors and failures may result, not only from a date recognition problem
in the particular part of a system failing, but may also result as systems,
applications, devices and chips receive erroneous or improper data from
third-parties suffering from the Year 2000 Problem. In addition, two interacting
systems, applications, devices or chips, each of which has individually been
fixed so that it will properly handle the Year 2000 Problem, could nonetheless
suffer "integration failure" because their method of dealing with the problem is
not compatible. These problems are expected to increase in frequency and
severity as the year 2000 approaches. We have incurred only immaterial costs to
date directly related to addressing the Year 2000 Problem. Since the Partnership
is in liquidation, we do not believe the Year 2000 Problem will have a
significant impact on the Partnership.

Forward-Looking Statements

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a "safe harbor"
for forward looking statements. Certain information included in this Form 10-Q
contains statements that are forward looking, such as statements relating to the
effects of future regulation, future capital commitments, future acquisitions
and the Partnership's success in dealing with the year 2000 issues. Such
forward-looking information involves important risks and uncertainties that
could significantly affect expected results in the future from those expressed
in any forward-looking statements made by, or on behalf of the Partnership.
These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, uncertainties
relating to economic conditions, acquisitions and divestitures, government and
regulatory policies, the pricing and availability of equipment, materials,
inventories and programming, technological developments, changes in the
competitive environment in which the Partnership operates and the Partnership's
success in dealing with year 2000 issues. Investors are cautioned that all
forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties.

Part II. Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings


Wallace v. Wood, et. al.

On June 10, 1997, four limited partners of the Partnership filed a putative
class action suit on behalf of the limited partners against the General Partner,
Charter Communications, Inc. (Charter), certain other Charter affiliates and
four present or former officers of the General Partner. On May 19, 1998, the
Defendants filed a motion for judgment on the pleadings, seeking dismissal of
certain of the defendants from the lawsuit. On October 12, 1999, the court
issued an order granting in part and denying in part the Defendants' motion for
judgment on the pleadings.

Item 2.  Change in Securities - None

Item 3.  Defaults upon Senior Securities - None

Item 4.  Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders - None

Item 5.  Other Information - None

Item 6.  Exhibits and Reports on Form 8-K

        (a) Exhibits

            27.1   Financial Data Schedule (supplied for the information of the
                   Commission)

        (b) Reports on Form 8-K

        On September 14, 1999, CCIP II filed a current report on Form 8-K
        related to the sale of cable television systems on August 31, 1999,
        reported in part I, Item 2 therein, as follows:

        (a)   CCIP II sold its cable television systems serving northeast
              Missouri, to an unaffiliated third party for $1.2 million, subject
              to working capital adjustments, with approximately $58,500 being
              deposited into an indemnification escrow account and approximately
              $99,500 in the form of a promissory note due on December 15, 1999.

         The Form 8-K filing did not include certain unaudited pro forma
         financial information related to the sale transaction pursuant to
         Article 3 of Regulation S-X since the Partnership no longer has any
         cable television systems subsequent to the sale.
