          CHARTER COMMUNICATIONS INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   CONDENSED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                           JUNE 30, 1997 AND 1996

1. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in 
   financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted 
   accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to Section 
   310 of Regulation S-B of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The 
   accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements 
   reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to 
   achieve a fair statement of financial position and results for the 
   interim periods presented.  All such adjustments are of a normal 
   recurring nature.  It is suggested that these financial statements be 
   read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto 
   included in the Company's Annual  Report on Form 10-KSB for the year 
   ended December 31, 1996.

2. Certain amounts in the prior year financial statements have been
   reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

3. Net loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares
   outstanding, adjusted for common stock equivalents, when dilutive.

4. There was no provision for or cash payment of income taxes for the 
   three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively, as the Company 
   had net taxable loss for these periods and anticipates a net taxable loss 
   for the year ended December 31, 1997.

5. During the second quarter of 1997, the Company completed a private 
   placement offering of $0.00001 par value common stock.  The Company 
   issued 1,000,000 shares at $1 per share.  Additionally, during the second 
   quarter, the Company completed a private placement of a $1,000,000 par 
   value subordinated debenture which is convertible into shares of $0.00001 
   par value common stock at a price of $0.50 per share.  Each share issued 
   upon conversion will have one warrant giving the holder the right to 
   purchase one additional share of $0.00001 par value common stock at $1.50 
   per share.  The Company retains the right to require exercise of these 
   warrants if the closing price of the Company's common stock trades at or 
   above $1.75 for a period of 20 in any 30 trading day period.

6. During the second quarter of 1997, the Company granted 746,297 options 
   with a weighted average exercise price of $1.92 per share, which vest 
   ratably over 2-4 years.  In addition, during the second quarter of 1997, 
   893,834 options with a weighed average strike price of $1.44 per share 
   were forfeited by terminated employees.

   Also during the second quarter of 1997, warrants that gave holders the 
   right to purchase 160,000 and 20,000 shares of common stock at $1.00 and 
   $4.00, respectively, were forfeited.

Item 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

(a)  PLAN OF OPERATION.  Over the next twelve months, the Company intends, to 
the extent permitted by its capital limitations discussed herein, to pursue 
the expansion of its International Private Lines, Telecommute Solutions, Long 
Distance Telephone, Calling Card, Phone Centers, and Internet Access 
services.  The Company intends to capitalize on the growing demand for these 
services and gain market share by building its subscriber base both 
domestically and internationally.  Management believes the expansion will be 
accomplished through the acquisition of additional licenses and concessions 
allowing the Company to provide these services both in the United States and 
in targeted Latin American countries.  The Company intends to pursue new 
customers by combining the highest possible level of service with an expanded 
sales force and intensive marketing efforts.  After thoroughly investigating 
market demand, the Company intends to expand in major cities in Latin 
America.  The Company intends to seek out and enter into strategic alliances 
with local business groups and individuals to create successful operations 
within the respective target Latin Countries.

     The Company intends, to the extent permitted by its capital limitations 
discussed below, to build an International Private Line communication network 
that will provide voice, data, facsimile, Internet, intranet, telecommuting, 
and video services to government and commercial organizations operating 
throughout the United States and Latin America.

     The Company is currently licensed to provide various telecommunication 
services in the United States, Peru, Honduras, Venezuela, Mexico, El 
Salvador, Guatemala, Costa Rica, and Panama.  As of June 30, 1997, the 
Company is providing service in the United States, Panama, Venezuela, El 
Salvador, and Honduras and will shortly begin providing service in Mexico and 
Costa Rica.  Over the next twelve months, the Company intends to seek, 
through public and private markets, an additional $20 - $25 million in debt or 
equity financing to build-out and operate facilities in these and other 
countries.  The Company will, however, only be able to begin expansion if it 
is able to obtain appropriate financing.

     While the Company's telecommunication business is currently focused on 
the provision of international private lines and prepaid calling cards, the 
Company is actively pursuing other opportunities to provide long distance 
services in Mexico and other Latin American countries.  While the Company 
presently has no contractual commitments regarding these services, the 
Company anticipates that approximately $3 to 4 million dollars in capital 
expenditure over the next several quarters will be required to expand its 
long distance service to meet the demand of existing opportunities.

     The Company's Internet business is expanding. In March of 1996, the 
Company formed Phoenix DataNet de Panama and commenced the offering of 
Internet services to business and residential customers in Panama City, 
Panama.  In the first year of operation, the Company acquired over 1,200 new 
customers.  On July 19, 1996, the Company obtained an additional concession 
to provide Internet services to both residences and businesses operating in 
Venezuela.  In December of 1996, the Company began offering Internet Service 
in Caracas, Venezuela.  The Company anticipates approximately $130,000 per 
site will be the required expenditure to provide Internet services at each of 
the seven areas targeted for private line services in Venezuela.

     See "Liquidity and Capital Resources" for a discussion of the Company's
ability to meet these capital costs.

     In the first quarter of 1996, the Company's first international private 
line customers went on-line, the acquisitions of Phoenix DataNet, Inc.

respectively.  Total costs and expenses were $5,099,000 for the three months

and amortization for the quarter was $805,000 and $233,000 in 1997 and 1996, 
respectively.  Interest expense decreased to $80,000 for the three months 
ended June 30, 1997 from $109,000 for the same period in 1996.  Net loss was 
$1,858,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1997 and $1,104,000 for the 
same period in 1996.  Net loss per share for the quarter was ($.06) in 1997 
and ($.09) in 1996.

     Consolidated revenues for the combined lines of business for the quarter 
ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 were $3,321,000 and $2,283,000, respectively, 
while the cost of services and hardware and software costs were $2,440,000 
and $1,748,000 for the comparable period in 1996 yielding a gross profit 
margin of 26.5% for 1997 and 23.4% for the same period in 1996.  The gross 
profit margin for the second quarter of 1997 improved by 10% from 16.5% in 
the first quarter of 1997.  The first quarter of 1997 was adversely impacted 
by a delay in the implementation of the Company's least cost routing plan to 
improve network costs.  As anticipated, improvement in gross profit margin 
was achieved from the first quarter to the second quarter of 1997 as a result 
of progress in implementing the plan.  The Company expects gross profit 
margins to continue to improve during 1997 as least cost routing is further 
implemented.

     Selling, general, and administrative expenses for the June 1997 quarter 
were $1,853,000 or 55.8% of sales compared to $1,296,000 or 56.8% of sales 
for the same period of the prior year.  The overall increase in expenses was 
primarily attributable to the expansion of the Company's operations and 
acquisitions.  Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased from 
$1,930,000 or 70.2% of sales in the first quarter of 1997.  The Company 
anticipates to continue benefiting in 1997 from economies of scale with 
respect to such costs as salaries and wages that are not expected to increase 
in direct proportion to increases in revenue as well as cost control efforts 
implemented by management.

     Depreciation and amortization expense was $805,000 for the first quarter 
of 1997 compared to $233,000 for the prior year. The increase is attributable 
to the increase in property, plant and equipment related to the acquisitions 
and expansion of operations and the amortization associated with the PDS, 
PDN, Overlook, and Worldlink acquisitions during 1996.

     Interest expense was $80,000 and $108,000 for the quarters ended June 
30, 1997 and 1996.  The interest expense for the second quarter of 1997 was 
primarily from the 12% Senior Subordinated Notes totaling approximately $.7 
million and three bank credit facilities totaling approximately $1.5 million. 
Interest expense decreased from $142,000 in the first quarter of 1997, mainly 
as a result of approximately $2.1 million of $2.8 million Senior Subordinated 
Notes being converted to equity on January 29, 1997 as part of a private 
placement of common stock by the Company.  The Company is seeking additional 
debt financing which may result in additional indebtedness, and as such, an 
increase in interest expense.  Such financing results traditionally contains 
interest rates tied to the prime interest rate.  Increases in the prime rate 
could increase interest expense and negatively affect the Company's operating 
results.

     There was no income tax benefit recorded in either 1997 or 1996, as 
management recorded a valuation reserve due to the uncertainty of the timing 
of future taxable income.  The net losses for the quarter ended June 30, 1997 
and 1996 were $1,857,000 and $1,104,000, respectively.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Company has not generated net cash from operations for any period 
presented.  The Company has primarily financed its operations to date through 
private sales of equity securities and debt to insiders and outside 
investors.  During 1996, funding was obtained from several sources:  bank 
lines of credit, sale lease back transactions, private placement of notes and 
warrants, shareholder loans, and private placements of common stock.  Such 
activities, net of repayment of loans, provided the Company with $6,212,000 
to fund operations.

     The $6,212,000 raised by the Company was utilized to fund a net 
operating cash flow deficiency of approximately $1,870,000  in 1996 as well 
as capital expenditures of $3,528,000 for the purchase of equipment and 
installation at domestic and international locations to expand business 
capacity as well as the acquisition of 90% of PDN in January 1996 for 
$483,000, net of cash received of $42,000.  The remainder of the 1996 
acquisitions were all completed as stock transactions.

     During the first quarter of 1997, the Company had a private placement 
offering of its common stock and received cash in the amount of approximately 
$5.4 million and reduced its liabilities (through the conversion of debt to 
Common Stock) by approximately $2.6 million.  All conversions were effected 
at the rate of one dollar of the liability for one share of stock.  During 
the second quarter of 1997, the Company raised $1 million through a private 
placement of common stock and $1 million through the issuance in a foreign 
market of convertible debentures.  These funds were used to partially offset 
a net operating cash flow deficiency of approximately $5,430,000 through 
June 30, 1997, as well as capital expenditures of $997,000.

     The Company estimates that it will need to raise approximately $5 
million to fund existing operations including approximately $1.5 million 
through the end of 1997 to fund operating cash deficiencies, $875,000 to fund 
debt due in 1997 and $2.5 million to fund capital expenditures.  The Company 
will seek to raise the required funding through various sources including but 
not limited to sale-leaseback transactions, conversion of warrants, and 
private placements of debt and/or equity.  However, there can be no assurance 
that the Company will be able to raise any such capital on terms acceptable 
to the Company, or at all. Failure of the Company to raise all or a 
significant portion of the funds needed could materially and adversely affect 
the Company's continuing and its planned operations.  At June 30, 1997, the 
Company had a significant working capital deficit and at times has borrowed 
funds from and sold equity to insiders/shareholders to fund essential 
obligations.  While the Company has been able to fund such essential 
obligations to date and while management believes that its current business 
activity is such that operating funds will be available to it as needed to 
continue operations and to fund planned growth, no assurance can be given 
that the Company will be able to raise such funds on a timely basis or at 
all.  Failure to raise such funds could have material adverse consequences to 
the Company and its continuing and planned operations.

     Any increase in the Company's growth rate, shortfall in anticipated 
revenues, increase in anticipated expenses, or significant acquisitions or 
expansion could have a material adverse effect on the Company's liquidity and 
capital resources and would require the Company either to raise additional 
capital from public or private equity or debt sources or to scale back 
operations. The Company does not presently have adequate resources available 
to achieve all of the expansion plans noted in "Plan of Operation," and will 
not engage in such expansion until adequate capital sources have been 
arranged.  Accordingly, the Company anticipates additional future private 
placements and/or public offerings of debt or equity securities will be 
necessary to fund such plans.  If such sources of financing are insufficient 
or unavailable, the Company will be required to significantly change and 
scale back its operating plans to the extent of available funding.  

     The Company may need to raise additional funds in order to take 
advantage of unanticipated opportunities, such as acquisitions of 
complementary businesses or the development of new products, or to otherwise 
respond to unanticipated competitive pressures.  There can be no assurance 
that the Company will be able to raise any such capital on terms acceptable 
to the Company or at all.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

     In February, 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") 
issued Statement 128, "Earnings per share" ("SFAS 128") which redefines how 
entities compute earnings per share.  Primary earnings per share will be 
replaced by basic earnings per share which will be computed exclusively based 
on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.  This statement 
is effective for periods ending after December 15, 1997 and will require 
restatement of all prior period earnings per share data presented.  The 
adoption of SFAS 128 is not expected to have a material impact on the 
Company's earnings per share data.

     In July 1997, the FASB issued statement No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive 
Income ("SFAS 130"), which establishes standards for reporting and display of 
net income and all other non-owner changes in stockholders' equity and its 
components.  This statement is effective beginning in 1998.
