2.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

Basis of Presentation:

         The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all
of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements. The consolidated financial
statements include the accounts of Pegasus, PBT, PCT, PST, PBA and MCT. All
significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in
consolidation.

         The unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments
consisting of normal recurring items which are, in the opinion of management,
necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and results of
operations for the interim period.


Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements:

         The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingencies. Actual results could differ from
those estimates.

Inventories:

         Inventories consist of equipment held for resale to customers and
installation supplies. Inventories are stated at lower of cost or market on a
first-in, first-out basis.

Revenue:

         The Company operates in three industry segments: broadcast television
("TV"), cable television ("Cable") and direct broadcast satellite television
("DBS"). The Company recognizes revenue in its TV operations when advertising
spots are broadcasted. The Company recognizes revenue in its Cable and DBS
operations when video and audio services are provided.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued):

Programming:

         The Company obtains a portion of its programming, including presold
advertisements, through its network affiliation agreement with Fox and also
through independent producers. The Company does not make any direct payments for
this programming. For running network programming, the Company receives payments
from Fox. For running independent producers' programming, the Company receives
no direct payments. Instead, the Company retains a portion of the available
advertisement spots to sell on its own account. Barter programming revenue and
the related expense are recognized when the presold advertisements are
broadcasted. These amounts are presented gross as barter programming revenue and
expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash:

         Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid investments purchased
with an initial maturity of three months or less. The Company has cash balances
in excess of the federally insured limits at various banks. At March 31, 1996,
the Company had $4,819,000 held in escrow that may be disbursed from the escrow
only to pay interest on its 12.5% Series B Senior Subordinated Notes due 2005
(the "Series B Notes" or "Notes").

Earning  per Share:

         Loss per share is calculated based on the retroactive application of
the stock exchange which occurred on July 7, 1995.



3.  Common Stock:

         At March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, common stock consists of the

         On July 7, 1995, the Company sold 85,000 units consisting of
$85,000,000 12.5% Series A Senior Subordinated Notes due 2005 and 8,500 shares
of Class B Common stock. The net proceeds from the sale were used to (i) repay
approximately $38.6 million in loans and other obligations, (ii) repurchase
$26.0 million of notes for approximately $13.0 million resulting in an
extraordinary gain of $10.2 million, net of expenses of $2.8 million, (iii) make
a $12.5 million distribution to PCH, (iv) escrow $9.7 million for the purpose of
paying interest on the Notes, (v) pay $3.3 million in fees and expenses and (vi)
fund proposed acquisitions.

5.  Commitments and Contingent Liabilities:

Legal Matters:

         The operations of the Company are subject to regulation by the Federal
Communications Commission ("FCC") and other franchising authorities, including
the Connecticut Department of Public Utility Control ("DPUC").

         During 1994, the DPUC ordered a reduction in the rates charged by
PCT-CT for its basic cable service tier and equipment charges and refunds for
related overcharges, plus interest, retroactive to September 1, 1993 requiring
PCT-CT to issue refunds totaling $141,000. In December 1994, the Company filed
an appeal with the FCC. In March 1995, the FCC granted a stay of the DPUC's rate
reduction and refund order pending the appeal. The FCC has not ruled on the
appeal and the outcome cannot be predicted with any degree of certainty. The
Company believes it will prevail in its appeal. In the event of an adverse
ruling, the Company expects to make refunds in kind rather than cash.

         In 1993, the Massachusetts Community Antenna Television Commission
("MCATC") initiated proceedings to review PCT's rates and charges. The review
process is ongoing and MCATC has not issued any decisions in the proceedings.

5.  Commitments and Contingent Liabilities (continued):

         The Company is currently contesting a claim for unpaid premiums on its
workers insurance policy assessed by the state insurance fund of Puerto Rico.
Based upon current information available, the Company's liability related to the
claim is estimated to be less than $200,000.

         In the opinion of management, the ultimate liability with respect to
the above claims will not have a material adverse effect on the combined
operations, cash flows or financial position of the Company.


6.  Acquisitions:

         On January 29, 1996, PCH, the parent of the Company entered into
agreements to acquire Bride Communications, Inc. (BCI) and its wholly owned
subsidiary HMW, Inc., licensee of WPXT, Portland, Maine. WPXT is the Fox
affiliated television station serving the Portland/Auburn market. Upon
completion of the acquisition of BCI and HMW, the BCI shareholders will receive
500 shares of PCH Series B preferred stock and 500 shares of PCH Series C
preferred stock in exchange for 100% of the capital stock of BCI. Consummation
of the acquisitions is subject to FCC consent and other conditions. In addition,
PCH acquired 100% of the outstanding stock of Portland Broadcasting, Inc. (PBI)
in exchange for one share of PCH Series A preferred stock. Immediately after the
exchange, PCH transferred ownership of PBI to the Company. This acquisition was
accounted for using the purchase method and the operating results of PBI have
been included in the Company's results since the date of acquisition. PBI
programs WPXT under a Time Brokerage Agreement with HMW, Inc.

         The aggregate purchase price of PBI amounted to $11,410,000, including
the costs of acquisition. The Company recorded $7,490,000 of goodwill in
connection with the acquisition of PBI.

         On March 8, 1996, the Company acquired the principal tangible assets of
WTLH, Inc. and certain of its affiliates, except for the FCC license and Fox
affiliation agreement, effective March 1, 1996. Additionally, WTLH License
Corp., an unrestricted subsidiary of the Company, entered into a put/call
agreement regarding the FCC license and Fox affiliation agreement with General
Management Consultants, Inc. ("GMC"), the licensee of WTLH, Tallahassee,
Florida. WTLH is the Fox affiliated television station serving the Tallahassee
market. This acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method and the
operating results of WTLH, Inc. have been included in the Company's results
since the date of acquisition. As a result of entering into the put/call
agreement, the Company recorded $3,050,000 in intangible assets and long term
debt representing the FCC license and Fox affiliation agreement and the related
contingent liability. The Company programs WTLH under a Time Brokerage Agreement
with GMC.

         The aggregate purchase price of the principal assets of WTLH, Inc.
amounted to $8,350,000, including the costs of acquisition. The Company recorded
no goodwill in connection with the acquisition of WTLH, Inc.

         The following summary, prepared on a pro forma basis, combines the
results of operations as if the above stations had been acquired as of the
beginning of the periods presented, after including the impact of certain
adjustments, such as the Company's reduced commission rate, payments to related
parties, amortization of intangibles, interest expense and related income tax
effects.

7.  Other Events:

         On March 21, 1996, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to
acquire all of the assets of Dom's Tele-Cable, Inc. ("Dom's"). Dom's operates
cable systems serving ten communities contiguous to the Company's Mayaguez cable
system.


8. Other Information (unaudited):

         As defined in the Indenture governing the Series B Notes, the Company
is required to provide Adjusted Operating Cash Flow for Pegasus and its
Restricted Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, where Adjusted Operating Cash
Flow is defined as, "for the four most recent fiscal quarters for which internal
financial statements are available, Operating Cash Flow of such person and its
Restricted Subsidiaries less DBS Cash Flow (PST Operating Cash Flow) for the
most recent four-quarter period plus DBS Cash Flow for the most recent quarterly
period, multiplied by four." Operating Cash Flow is income from operations
before income taxes, depreciation and amortization, interest expense,
extraordinary items and non-cash management fees and incentive compensation.
The term "Restricted Subsidiaries" has the  meaning assigned to it as in the
Indenture. Pro forma for the acquisitions of WPXT and WTLH, Adjusted Operating
Cash Flow would have been approximately $12,173,000.

9.  Subsidiary Guarantees:

         The Series B Notes are guaranteed on a full, unconditional, senior
subordinated basis, jointly and severally by each of the wholly-owned direct and
indirect subsidiaries of Pegasus with the exception of PCT-CT (the "Guarantor
Subsidiaries"). PCT-CT, a wholly-owned subsidiary of PCT and an indirect
subsidiary of the Company, is not a guarantor of the Series B Notes
("Non-guarantor"). As the result of PCT-CT not being a guarantor of the Series B
Notes, the following condensed combining financial statements have been
provided. The Company believes separate financial statements and other
disclosures concerning the Guarantor Subsidiaries are not deemed material to
investors.

Item 2: Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results 
        of Operations

General

         The Company operates in three media and communication businesses: TV,
Cable and DBS. The Company's TV operations owns and operates five Fox affiliated
television stations. The principal tangible assets of two of such stations were
acquired in the first quarter of 1996. Its cable operations consist of systems
in New England and Puerto Rico. DBS operations consist of providing DIRECTV
service in certain areas of New England in which the Company holds the exclusive
right to provide such services.

         TV revenues are derived from the sale of broadcast air time to local
and national advertisers. Cable revenues are derived from monthly subscriptions,
pay-per-view services, subscriber equipment rentals, home shopping commissions,
advertising time sales and installation charges. DBS revenues are derived from
monthly customer subscriptions, pay-per-view services, gross profit on sales of
the DSS equipment required for reception of DIRECTV (the "Digital Satellite
System" or "DSS") and DSS equipment rentals, leases and installation charges.

         The Company's direct operating expenses consist of (i) programming
expenses, (ii) marketing and selling costs, including advertising and promotion
expenses, local sales commissions, and ratings and research expenditures, (iii)
technical and operations costs, (iv) general and administrative expenses and (v)
incentive compensation. TV programming expenses include the amortization of
long-term program rights purchases, music license costs and "barter" programming
expenses which represent the value of broadcast air time provided to TV program
suppliers in lieu of cash. Cable programming expenses typically consist of
amounts paid to program suppliers on a per subscriber basis. DBS programming
expenses consist of amounts paid to program suppliers and DSS authorization
charges, each of which is paid on a per subscriber basis, DIRECTV royalties and
satellite control fees.

         The Company's revenues increased by approximately $1,713,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 1996 as compared to the same period in 1995 as a
result of (i) a $1,114,000 or 28% increase in TV revenues, of which $358,000 or
30% was due to ratings growth that the Company was able to convert into higher
revenues, and $756,000 or 70% was due to acquisitions made since the first of
the year, (ii) a $158,000 or 10% increase in New England cable revenues due
primarily to rate increases implemented in August 1995, (iii) a $16,000 or 2%
increase in Puerto Rico cable revenues due to subscriber increases and (iv) a
$425,000 or 178% increase in revenue from the increased number of DBS
subscribers.

         The Company's total direct operating expenses increased by
approximately $950,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996 as compared to
the same period in 1995 as a result of (i) a $522,000 or 16% increase in TV
operating expenses as the net result of a $40,000 or 1% decrease in same station
direct operating expenses and a $562,000 or 17% increase in direct operating
expenses from acquisitions made since the first of the year, (ii) a $89,000 or
10% increase in New England cable operating expenses due primarily to increases
in programming costs and technical costs associated with various maintenance
projects resulting from severe winter weather, (iii) a $35,000 or 5% increase in
Puerto Rico cable operating expenses due primarily nonrecurring converter
repairs and (iv) a $304,000 or 108% increase in operating expenses generated by
the Company's DBS operations due to an increase in programming costs of
$200,000, royalty costs of $35,000, and other per subscriber DIRECTV costs such
as security, authorization fees and telemetry and tracking charges totaling 
$76,000.

         As a result of these factors, income from operations before management
fees, depreciation and amortization increased by $763,000 or 46% for the three
months ended March 31, 1996 as compared to the same period in 1995.

         Management charges, which are comprised of fees calculated at 5% of net
revenues plus an allocated share of corporate accounting costs, increased by
approximately $121,000 for the three months ended March 31,1996 as compared to
the same period in 1995 due mainly to the increases in revenues.

         Depreciation and amortization expense increased by approximately
$470,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996, as compared to the same
period in 1995, as the Company completed two acquisitions during the first
quarter of 1996.

         As a result of these factors, the loss from operations decreased by
approximately $172,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996 as compared to
the same period in 1995.

         Interest expense increased by approximately $1,245,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 1996 as compared to the same period in 1995 as a result
of a combination of an increase in the interest rate to a fixed charge of 12.5%
from the Company's floating rate and an increase in debt associated with the
Company's 1995 note offering and 1996 acquisitions.

         The Company's net loss increased by $612,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 1996 as compared to the same period in 1995 and was the net result of
a decrease in loss from operations of approximately 172,000, an increase in
interest expenses of $1,245,000, an increase in interest income of $101,000, a
decrease in the provision for income taxes of $310,000 and a decrease in other
expenses of approximately $50,000.


Liquidity and Capital Resources


         The Company's primary sources of liquidity have been the net cash
provided by its TV and Cable operations and credit available under its credit
facilities. Additionally, the Company has $4.8 million in a restricted cash
account that can be used to pay interest on the Company's notes. The Company has
used these funds to meet its debt service obligations, fund investments in its
TV and cable technical facilities, fund investments in cable and DBS customer
premises equipment that is rented or leased to subscribers and fund investments
in exclusive DBS distribution rights.

         During the three months ended March 31, 1996, net cash provided by
operations was approximately $2.0 million, which together with $12.0 million of
cash on hand and $6.1 million of net cash provided by the Company's financing
activities was used to fund investing activities of $16.4 million. Investment
activities consisted of (i) the acquisitions of the tangible assets of WPXT and
WTLH for approximately $15.1 million, (ii) the purchase of a Cable office
facility in Connecticut for $135,000, (iii) certain start up costs of the
Company's DBS business totaling $236,000, (iv) the purchase of DSS units used
as rental and lease units amounting to $210,000 and (v) maintenance and other
capital expenditures and intangibles totaling approximately $700,000. As of
March 31, 1996, the Company's cash on hand approximated $3.7 million.

         The Company has obtained a five year, senior collateralized revolving
credit facility in the amount of $10 million (the "Credit Facility") from which
$6 million was drawn in connection with the acquisitions of PBI and WTLH, Inc.
in the first quarter of 1996. The remainder of the funds under the Credit
Facility are intended to be used for general corporate purposes.

         The Company has obtained a commitment letter from a lender for a $50
million credit facility which could be used to fund the acquisition of Dom's
Tele-Cable, Inc. ("Dom's") and believes that following the acquisitions of
Dom's, WTLH and WPXT it will have adequate resources to meet its working
capital, maintenance capital expenditure and debt service obligations. However,
there can be no assurance that the future cash flows of the Company will be
sufficient to meet all of the Company's obligations and commitments.
