7 CC V HOLDINGS, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT WHERE INDICATED) 1. ORGANIZATION On November 15, 1999, Charter Communications Holding Company, LLC (Charter Holdco), a direct subsidiary of Charter Communications, Inc. (Charter), acquired all of the equity interests of Avalon Cable, LLC (now known as CC V Holdings or the Company) and Avalon Cable Holdings Finance, Inc. Effective January 1, 2000, these acquired interests were transferred to Charter Communications Holdings, LLC (Charter Holdings), a wholly owned subsidiary of Charter Holdco. Effective in December 2000, Charter Holdings contributed all of its equity interests in CC VIII, LLC (Bresnan) to CC V Holdings, resulting in CC V Holdings becoming the parent company of Bresnan. The Company accounted for the contribution of Bresnan as a reorganization of entities under common control in a manner similar to a pooling of interests. Accordingly, the accounts of Bresnan are included in the consolidated financial statements from February 15, 2000, the date Bresnan was first acquired by Charter Holdco. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CC V Holdings, its wholly owned subsidiaries, and the accounts of Bresnan since February 15, 2000 (the date acquired by Charter Holdco). CC V Holdings is a Delaware limited liability company. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Effective on January 2, 2001, the Company entered into certain cable system swap transactions with other subsidiaries of Charter Holdings. Such cable systems swaps were effected in order to increase operational efficiency by swapping systems into the subsidiaries which are physically located closest to them. The Company accounted for the systems transferred into the Company from other Charter Holdings subsidiaries as a reorganization of entities under common control in a manner similar to a pooling of interests. Accordingly, beginning on November 15, 1999, the date the Company was acquired by Charter Holdco, the consolidated financial statements of CC V Holdings include the accounts of four systems that were transferred into the Company from other Charter Holdings subsidiaries. Also, on January 2, 2001, the Company transferred five of its systems to other Charter Holdings subsidiaries as part of the swap transactions. The disposition of such systems by the Company was recorded as a noncash transaction with related parties in the six months ended June 30, 2001. As of June 30, 2001, the Company owns and operates cable systems serving approximately 917,000 customers. The Company currently offers a full array of traditional analog cable services and advanced bandwidth services such as digital cable television, interactive video programming, Internet access through television-based service, dial-up telephone modems and high-speed cable modems, and video-on-demand. The Company operates primarily in the states of Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin and in the New England area. 2. RESPONSIBILITY FOR INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures typically included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K have been condensed or omitted for this Quarterly Report. The accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, such statements include all adjustments, which consist of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. For further information, see the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000. 7

8 3. ACQUISITIONS In February 2000, Charter Holdings acquired certain cable systems for $13.0 million and contributed those assets to the Company, increasing equity by $13.0 million. The systems acquired served approximately 6,000 customers located in Minnesota at December 31, 2000. In September 2000, Bresnan acquired cable systems for a purchase price of $13.2 million. These systems acquired served approximately 7,100 customers located in Minnesota at December 31, 2000. These acquisitions were accounted for using the purchase method of accounting, and, accordingly, results of operations of the acquired systems have been included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements from the respective dates of acquisition. The purchase prices were allocated to assets acquired based on their fair values, including amounts assigned to property, plant and equipment totaling $4.7 million and franchises totaling $21.5 million. No liabilities were assumed in these acquisitions. In February 2000, Charter Holdco acquired the cable systems of Bresnan and immediately transferred its equity in these cable systems to Charter Holdings (the "Bresnan Acquisition"). In December 2000, Charter Holdings contributed all of its equity interests in Bresnan to CC V Holdings (the "Bresnan/Avalon Combination"), increasing equity by $1.4 billion (see Note 1). Charter Holdco acquired these cable systems for a purchase price of approximately $1.1 billion, net of cash acquired, excluding debt assumed of $963.0 million and equity issued by Charter Holdco and preferred equity issued by a subsidiary of Charter Holdings of $384.6 million and $629.5 million, respectively. Charter Holdco allocated the purchase price to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their relative fair values, including amounts assigned to property, plant and equipment of $345.9 million, other assets of $2.3 million, franchises of $2.8 billion, and liabilities assumed of $2.0 billion. In connection with the Bresnan/Avalon Combination, the company that issued the preferred equity became a subsidiary of the Company. Unaudited pro forma operating results as though the 2000 acquisitions discussed above, the Bresnan/Avalon Combination, and the dispositions of five cable systems to other Charter Holdings subsidiaries as discussed in Note 1, with adjustments to give effect to amortization of franchises, interest expense and certain other adjustments, are as follows: SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 ---------------- Revenues......................... $ 254,545 Loss from operations............. (87,596) Net loss......................... (153,735) The unaudited pro forma financial information presented for comparative purposes and does not purport to be indicative of the results of operations had these transactions been completed as of the assumed date or which may be obtained in the future. 4. LONG-TERM DEBT In connection with the Bresnan/Avalon combination in January 2001, all amounts due under the Avalon credit facilities were repaid using borrowings from the Bresnan credit facilities and the Avalon credit facilities were terminated. In addition, the Bresnan credit facilities were amended and restated to, among other things, increase borrowing availability by $550.0 million. Long-term debt consists of the following: JUNE 30, DECEMBER 31, 2001 2000 ---------- ----------- CCVIII Operating credit facility (Bresnan) $1,000,000 $ 712,400 CCV Holdings senior discount notes (Avalon) 138,713 131,273 Avalon credit facility -- 213,000 Other 1,382 1,551 ---------- ---------- $1,140,095 $1,058,224 ========== ========== 8

9 5. LITIGATION In connection with the Company's acquisition of Mercom, Inc. (Mercom), former Mercom shareholders holding approximately 731,894 Mercom common shares (approximately 15.3% of all outstanding Mercom common shares) gave notice of their election to exercise appraisal rights as provided by Delaware law. On July 2, 1999, former Mercom shareholders holding 535,501 shares of Mercom common stock filed a petition for appraisal of stock in the Delaware Chancery Court. With respect to 209,893 of the total number of shares for which the Company received notice, the notice provided to the Company was received from beneficial holders of Mercom shares who were not holders of record. The Company believes that the notice with respect to these shares did not comply with Delaware law and is ineffective. The Company cannot predict at this time the effect of the elections to exercise appraisal rights on the Company since the Company does not know the extent to which these former Mercom shareholders will continue to pursue appraisal rights under Delaware law or choose to abandon these efforts and seek to accept the consideration payable in the Mercom merger. If these former Mercom shareholders continue to pursue their appraisal rights, and if a Delaware court were to find that the fair value of the Mercom common shares, exclusive of any element of value arising from the acquisition of Mercom, exceeded $12.00 per share, the Company would have to pay the additional amount for each Mercom common share subject to the appraisal proceedings together with a fair rate of interest. The Company could be ordered by the Delaware court also to pay reasonable attorney's fees and the fees and expenses of experts for the shareholders. In addition, the Company would have to pay its own litigation costs. The Company has already provided for the consideration of $12.00 per Mercom common share due under the terms of the merger with Mercom with respect to these shares but has not provided for any additional amounts or costs. The Company can provide no assurance as to what a Delaware court would find in any appraisal proceeding or when this matter will be resolved. Accordingly, the Company cannot assure that the ultimate outcome would have no material adverse impact on the consolidated financial condition or results of operations of the Company. 6. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board adopted Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141 "Business Combinations" and No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." SFAS No. 141 requires all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 to be accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. SFAS No. 141 is required to be implemented for all acquisitions initiated after June 30, 2001 and all business combinations accounted for using the purchase method for which the date of acquisition is July 1, 2001 or later. Adoption of SFAS No. 141 will not impact the consolidated financial statements of the Company. Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill is no longer subject to amortization over its useful life, rather, it is subject to at least annual assessments of impairment. Also, under SFAS No. 142, an intangible asset should be recognized if the benefit of the intangible is obtained through contractual or other legal rights or if the intangible asset can be sold, transferred, licensed, rented or exchanged. Such intangibles will be amortized over their useful lives. Certain intangibles have indefinite useful lives and will not be amortized. SFAS No. 142 will be implemented by the Company on January 1, 2002. All goodwill and intangible assets acquired after June 30, 2001 will be immediately subject to the provisions of SFAS No. 142. The Company is currently in the process of assessing the future impact of adoption of SFAS No. 142. 9

EBITDA is presented because it is a widely accepted financial indicator of a cable company's ability to service indebtedness. However, EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to income from operations or to cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities, as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. EBITDA should also not be construed as an indication of a company's operating performance or as a measure of liquidity. In addition, because all companies do not calculate EBITDA identically, the presentation here may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. Management's discretionary use of funds depicted by EBITDA may be limited by working capital, debt service and capital expenditure requirements and by restrictions related to legal requirements, commitments and uncertainties. 10

11 (b) Adjusted EBITDA means EBITDA before corporate expense charges and other income (expense). Adjusted EBITDA is presented because it is a widely accepted financial indicator of a cable company's ability to service indebtedness. However, adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to income from operations or to cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities, as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Adjusted EBITDA should also not be construed as an indication of a company's operating performance or as a measure of liquidity. In addition, because adjusted EBITDA is not calculated identically by all companies, the presentation here may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. Management's discretionary use of funds depicted by adjusted EBITDA may be limited by working capital, debt service and capital expenditure requirements and by restrictions related to legal requirements, commitments and uncertainties. (c) Homes passed are the number of living units, such as single residence homes, apartments and condominium units, passed by the cable distribution network in a given cable system service area. (d) Basic customers are customers who receive basic cable service. (e) Basic penetration represents basic customers as a percentage of homes passed. (f) Average monthly revenue per basic customer represents revenues divided by the number of months in the period divided by the number of basic customers at period end. COMPARISON OF RESULTS As a result of the Bresnan/Avalon combination, the Company's financial statements were restated beginning on February 15, 2000, the date of Charter Holdco's acquisition of Bresnan. In addition, on January 2, 2001, the Company transferred five of its cable systems to other Charter Holdings subsidiaries in the cable system swap transactions discussed in Note 1 to the interim unaudited financial statements. Therefore, the financial results for the periods presented above are not comparable as the six months ended June 30, 2000 only include Bresnan results for approximately four and a half months, beginning February 15, 2000 and the six months ended June 30, 2001 do not include the results of the five cable systems transferred to other Charter Holdings subsidiaries. Revenues. Revenues increased $34.8 million, or 16.2%, to $249.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001, from $214.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000. Approximately $30.6 million of the increase was due to six full months of Bresnan revenues during the six months ended June 30, 2001 as compared with four and a half months of Bresnan revenues during the six months ended June 30, 2000. In addition, increases in digital and cable modem revenues of $16.8 million resulted from increased marketing efforts and strong demand for these services. Advertising revenues increased $5.0 million primarily due to internal growth. As a result of our rebuild efforts, we experienced increased capacity due to expanded channel line-ups. In addition, the level of advertising purchased by programmers to promote their channels added as part of our expansion of channel line-ups, increased during 2001 compared to the corresponding period in 2000. These increases were offset partially by a decrease of approximately $27.4 million due to the transfer of five cable systems to other Charter Holdings subsidiaries on January 2, 2001. Operating, general and administrative expenses. Operating, general and administrative expenses increased $17.4 million, or 15.2%, to $132.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001, from $114.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000. An increase of $16.8 million was primarily due to internal growth and increases in digital and cable modem customers, continued inflationary increases in license fees paid for programming, and an increased number of channels provided to customers. In addition, an increase of $16.5 million was due to six full months of Bresnan operating, general and administrative expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2001 as compared with four and a half months of Bresnan operating, general and administrative expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2000. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of approximately $15.9 million due to the transfer of five cable systems to other Charter Holdings subsidiaries on January 2, 2001. Depreciation and amortization expense. Depreciation and amortization expense increased $59.6 million, or 35.0%, to $230.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001, from $170.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000. An increase of approximately $48.0 million was the result of capital expenditures for upgrade and rebuild activities during the last half of 2000 and throughout 2001. In addition, an increase of $31.4 million was due to six full months of Bresnan depreciation and amortization during the six months ended June 30, 2001 as compared with four and a half months of Bresnan depreciation and amortization during the six months ended June 30, 2000. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $19.8 million due to the transfer of five cable systems to other Charter Holdings subsidiaries on January 2, 2001. 11

12 Corporate expense charges - related party. These charges for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, represent costs incurred by Charter Investment, Inc. and Charter Communications, Inc. on our behalf. Interest expense. Interest expense increased by $3.5 million, or 7.6%, to $49.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001, from $45.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000. The increase was primarily due to an increase in the weighted average debt outstanding of $344.2 million, from $797.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $1.1 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2001. Interest expense - related party. Interest expense - related party decreased $8.4 million to $0 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 from $8.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000. The decrease was due to the payment of intercompany liabilities of $394.8 million by the parent on January 1, 2001 on behalf of the Company. Such transaction was treated as a non-cash capital contribution from the parent to the Company. Minority interest.

Net loss increased by $39.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2000 as a result of the combination of factors discussed above. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board adopted Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141 "Business Combinations" and No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." SFAS No. 141 requires all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 to be accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. SFAS No. 141 is required to be implemented for all acquisitions initiated after June 30, 2001 and all business combinations accounted for using the purchase method for which the date of acquisition is July 1, 2001 or later. Adoption of SFAS No. 141 will not impact the consolidated financial statements of the Company. Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill is no longer subject to amortization over its useful life, rather, it is subject to at least annual assessments of impairment. Also, under SFAS No. 142, an intangible asset should be recognized if the benefit of the intangible is obtained through contractual or other legal rights or if the intangible asset can be sold, transferred, licensed, rented or exchanged. Such intangibles will be amortized over their useful lives. Certain intangibles have indefinite useful lives and will not be amortized. SFAS No. 142 will be implemented by the Company on January 1, 2002. All goodwill and intangible assets acquired after June 30, 2001 will be immediately subject to the provisions of SFAS No. 142. The Company is currently in the process of assessing the future impact of adoption of SFAS No. 142. 12
