See accompanying notes 4 COAXIAL COMMUNICATIONS OF CENTRAL OHIO, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. Organization and Basis of Presentation Coaxial Communications of Central Ohio, Inc. (the "Company"), an Ohio corporation, through its ownership of preferred interests, has a 30% voting interest in Insight Communications of Central Ohio, LLC ("Insight Ohio"). Insight Ohio operates a cable television system that provides basic and expanded cable television services to homes in the eastern parts of Columbus, Ohio and surrounding areas. Prior to August 8, 2000, the Company owned 100% of the voting interest in Insight Ohio and therefore consolidated the financial statements of Insight Ohio for periods prior to such date. In connection with the contribution of the Company's cable system (the "System"), the issuance of the Senior Notes and the issuance of the Senior Discount Notes by the Company's majority shareholder, Coaxial LLC, during 1998 the three individuals who previously owned the outstanding stock of the Company contributed their stock to three separate limited liability companies. Accordingly, the Company is a subsidiary of Coaxial LLC, which owns 67 1/2% of its outstanding stock. Other related entities affiliated with the Company in addition to Coaxial LLC, include Coaxial DJM LLC, Coaxial DSM LLC, (collectively, the "Coaxial Entities"), Phoenix Associates ("Phoenix"), Coaxial Financing Corp., Coaxial Communications of Southern Ohio, Inc., Coaxial Associates of Columbus I, Coaxial Associates of Columbus II, Paxton Cable Television, Inc. and Paxton Communications, Inc. The Company and Phoenix are co-issuers of the Senior Notes. The ability of the Company and Phoenix to make scheduled payments with respect to the Senior Notes is dependent on the financial and operating performance of Insight Ohio. The required distributions on the Series B preferred equity interest to the Company is designed to provide the cash flow necessary to service the debt requirements on the Senior Notes. 5 COAXIAL COMMUNICATIONS OF CENTRAL OHIO, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 2. Responsibility for Interim Financial Statements The accompanying unaudited 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 with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnote disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. In management's opinion, the consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement of the consolidated results of operations and financial position for the interim periods presented.

These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes to consolidated financial statements contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K as amended for the year ended December 31, 2000. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The results of operations for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2001 or any other interim period. 3. Comprehensive Loss Comprehensive loss totaled $4.8 million and $631,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001. There were no components of comprehensive loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000.

("Insight Midwest"), a 50-50 partnership between Insight LP and an indirect subsidiary of AT&T Broadband, LLC, completed a series of transactions with Insight LP and certain subsidiaries of AT&T Corp. (the "AT&T cable subsidiaries") for the acquisition of additional cable television systems valued at approximately $2.2 billion, including the common equity of the Company (the "AT&T transactions"). As a result of the AT&T transactions, Insight Midwest acquired all of Insight LP's wholly-owned systems serving approximately 280,000 customers, including the approximately 85,400 customers served by the Company and including systems which Insight LP purchased from the AT&T cable subsidiaries. At the same time, Insight Midwest acquired from the AT&T cable subsidiaries systems serving approximately 250,000 customers. 14 INSIGHT COMMUNICATIONS OF CENTRAL OHIO, LLC NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 3. Cable System Transactions (continued) The Company is prohibited by the terms of its indebtedness from making distributions to Insight Midwest. Insight Midwest remains equally owned by Insight LP and AT&T Broadband, and Insight LP continues to serve as the general partner of Insight Midwest and manages and operates the Insight Midwest systems. Although the financial results of the Company will be consolidated into Insight Midwest as a result of the AT&T transactions, for financing purposes, the Company is an unrestricted subsidiary under the indentures of Insight Midwest and Insight Inc. The Company's conditional guarantee of the Senior Notes and the Senior Discount Notes remains in place. 4. Commitments and Contingencies Litigation The Company is subject to various legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. While it is impossible to determine with certainty the ultimate outcome of these matters, it is management's opinion that the resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse affect on the Company's consolidated financial condition. 5. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 141, "Business Combinations" and No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets", effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. Under the new rules, goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives will no longer be amortized but will be subject to annual impairment tests. Other intangible assets will continue to be amortized over their useful lives. The Company is currently reviewing the impact of these standards and will be performing a fair value analysis at a later date in connection with the adoption of SFAS No. 142 on January 1, 2002. In October 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 144, "Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of," effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. SFAS No. 144 supersedes SFAS No. 121 and identifies the methods to be used in determining fair value. We are currently reviewing the impact of this standard and will be performing an analysis at a later date in connection with the adoption of SFAS No. 144 on January 1, 2002. 15 Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes which are included elsewhere in this report. Forward-Looking Statements This report contains "forward-looking statements," including statements containing the words "believes," "anticipates," "expects" and words of similar import, which concern, among other things, the operations, economic performance and financial condition of Insight Communications of Central Ohio, LLC ("Insight Ohio" or the "System"). All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this report regarding Coaxial Communications of Central Ohio, Inc. ("Coaxial"), Phoenix Associates ("Phoenix") and Insight Ohio or any of the transactions described in this report, including the timing, financing, strategies and effects of such transactions, are forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are based upon a number of assumptions and estimates, which are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond the control of Coaxial, Phoenix and Insight Ohio, and reflect future business decisions which are subject to change. Although the management of Coaxial, Phoenix and Insight Ohio believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, they can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from expectations include, without limitation: . the ability of Coaxial and Phoenix to make scheduled payments with respect to the Senior Notes (as defined below) which is dependent upon the financial and operating performance of the System; . the fact that a substantial portion of the System's cash flow from operations is required to be dedicated to the payment of principal and interest on its indebtedness and the required distributions with respect to its Preferred Interests, thereby reducing the funds available to the System for its operations and future business opportunities; . the fact that Coaxial and Phoenix have no significant assets other than Coaxial's ownership of the Series B Preferred Interest in Insight Ohio; and . the fact that the indenture governing the terms of the Senior Notes imposes restrictions on Coaxial, Phoenix and Insight Ohio and the Senior Credit Facility of the System imposes restrictions on Insight Ohio. Management of Coaxial, Phoenix and Insight Ohio does not intend to update these forward-looking statements. Coaxial and Phoenix do not conduct any business and are dependent upon the cash flow of the System to meet their obligations under the Senior Notes. Insight Communications Company, LP ("Insight LP") serves as the manager of the System. 16 The following discussion relates to the operations of the System for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2001 compared to the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2000. The financial statements of Insight Ohio are included in the consolidated financial statements of Coaxial through August 8, 2000. Therefore, the historical operating results of Coaxial reflect the actual results of the System through August 8, 2000 in addition to certain financing activities unrelated to the operation of the System. These financing activities relate primarily to the offering of the Senior Notes discussed above. These activities resulted in related financing and interest costs. The historical results of Coaxial appear elsewhere in this report under the heading "Coaxial Communications of Central Ohio, Inc." Overview The System relies on Insight LP, for all of its strategic, managerial, financial and operational oversight and advice. Insight LP also centrally purchases programming and equipment and provides the associated discount to the System. In exchange for all such services provided to the System and subject to certain restrictions contained in the covenants with respect to Insight Ohio's Senior Credit Facility and the Senior Notes, Insight LP is entitled to receive management fees of 3.0% of gross operating revenues of the System. Such management fees are payable only after distributions have been made with respect to the Preferred Interests and only to the extent that such payments would be permitted by an exception to the restricted payments covenants of the Senior Notes as well as Insight Ohio's Senior Credit Facility. Recent Developments On January 5, 2001, Insight Midwest, L.P., a partnership 50% owned by Insight LP and 50% by an indirect subsidiary of AT&T Broadband, LLC, which is a subsidiary of AT&T Corp., through a series of transactions acquired all of Insight LP's wholly-owned systems serving approximately 280,000 customers, including the approximately 85,400 customers served by Insight Ohio and including systems which Insight LP purchased from the AT&T cable subsidiaries. At the same time, Insight Midwest acquired from the AT&T cable subsidiaries systems serving approximately 250,000 customers. Insight Ohio is an unrestricted subsidiary under the indentures governing Insight LP's and Insight Midwest's senior notes and is prohibited by the terms of its indebtedness from making distributions to Insight Midwest. Insight Midwest remains equally owned by Insight LP and AT&T Broadband, and Insight LP continues to serve as the general partner and manages and operates the Insight Midwest systems, including Insight Ohio. Although the financial results of Insight Ohio are consolidated into Insight Midwest as a result of the AT&T transactions, as noted above, for financing purposes, Insight Ohio is an unrestricted subsidiary under the indentures of Insight Midwest. Insight Ohio's conditional guarantee of the Senior Notes remains in place. 17 Results of Operations Substantially all of the System's revenue was earned from customer fees for cable television programming services including premium and pay-per-view services and ancillary services, such as rental of converters and remote control devices, installations and from selling advertising. In addition, the System earns revenue from commissions for products sold through home shopping networks. The following table is derived for the periods presented from the System's financial statements that are included in this report and sets forth certain statement of operations data for the System:

18 Three Months Ended September 30, 2001 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2000 Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2001 increased $1.5 million or 11.7% to $13.9 million from $12.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2000. For the three months ended September 30, 2001, customers served averaged approximately 85,800 compared to approximately 84,500 during the three months ended September 30, 2000. The increase in revenue was primarily attributable to new product launches, specifically digital services and high-speed data services. Revenue by service offering was as follows for the three months ended September 30 (in thousands): 2001 Revenue by 2000 Revenue Service % of Total by Service % of Total Offering Revenue Offering Revenue ---------- ----------- ------------- ----------- Basic $ 7,271 52.4% $ 6,891 55.4% Premium 1,636 11.8% 1,725 13.9% Pay-per-view 267 1.9% 363 2.9% Digital 985 7.1% 505 4.1% Advertising sales 1,024 7.4% 1,067 8.6% Data services 1,256 9.0% 312 2.5% Other 1,452 10.4% 1,572 12.6% ------- ----- ------- ----- Total $13,891 100.0% $12,435 100.0% ======= ===== ======= ===== RGUs (Revenue Generating Units) were approximately 117,100 as of September 30, 2001 compared to approximately 97,300 as of September 30, 2000. This represents an annualized growth rate of 20.3%. RGUs represent the sum of basic and digital video, high-speed data and telephone customers. Average monthly revenue per basic customer for the three months ended September 30, 2001 was $53.94 compared to $49.07 for the three months ended September 30, 2000. Average monthly revenue per basic customer for digital and high-speed data services was $8.70 for the three months ended September 30, 2001 compared to $3.22 for the three months ended September 30, 2000. As of September 30, 2001, there were approximately 21,200 digital customers representing a 33.4% penetration (digital customers as a percentage of total customers with access to digital service). High-speed data services were launched during the three months ended September 30, 2000. As of September 30, 2001, there were approximately 10,100 cable modem customers compared to 2,900 cable modem customers as of September 30, 2000, respectively, representing a penetration (modem customers as a percentage of homes passed with access to high-speed data services) of 6.8% and 4.0%, respectively. Programming and other operating costs increased $1.1 million or 21.3% to $6.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001 from $5.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2000. The increase was primarily attributable to increased programming rates associated with digital services. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $187,000 or 7.6% to $2.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001 from $2.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2000. 19 The increase was primarily attributable to increased marketing activity and corporate expenses associated with advertising sales. Depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended September 30, 2001 increased $454,000 or 15.9% to $3.3 million from $2.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2000. This increase was primarily attributable to increased capital expenditures associated with the rebuild of systems from earlier in the year. Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2001 decreased $203,000 or 32.1% to $430,000 from $633,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2000. This decrease was primarily attributable to lower interest rates on outstanding borrowings. 20 Nine Months Ended September 30, 2001 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2000 Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 increased $4.6 million or 12.7% to $41.0 million compared to $36.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. For the nine months ended September 30, 2001, customers served averaged approximately 85,800 compared to approximately 84,400 during the nine months ended September 30, 2000. The increase in revenue was primarily attributable to new product launches, specifically digital services and high-speed data services. Revenue by service offering was as follows for the nine months ended September 30 (in thousands): 2001 2000 Revenue Revenue by by Service % of Total Service % of Total Offering Revenue Offering Revenue ---------- ---------- --------- --------- Basic $ 21,616 52.7% $ 20,475 56.3% Premium 5,109 12.5% 5,190 14.3% Pay-per-view 900 2.2% 1,325 3.6% Digital 2,840 6.9% 950 2.6% Advertising sales 3,059 7.5% 3,338 9.2% Data services 3,057 7.4% 408 1.1% Other 4,411 10.8% 4,695 12.9% ---------- ----------- --------- -------- Total $ 40,992 100.0% $ 36,381 100.0% ========== =========== ========= ======== RGUs were approximately 117,100 as of September 30, 2001 compared to approximately 97,300 as of September 30, 2000. This represents an annualized growth rate of 20.3%. Average monthly revenue per basic customer for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 was $53.11 compared to $47.85 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. Average monthly revenue per basic customer for digital and high-speed data services was $7.64 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 compared to $1.79 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. As of September 30, 2001, there were approximately 21,200 digital customers representing a 33.4% penetration. High-speed data services were launched during the three months ended September 30, 2000. As of September 30, 2001, there were approximately 10,100 cable modem customers compared to 2,900 cable modem customers as of September 30, 2000, respectively, representing a penetration (modem customers as a percentage of homes passed with access to high-speed data services) of 6.8% and 4.0%, respectively. Programming and other operating costs increased $2.1 million or 14.4% to $16.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 from $14.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. The increase was primarily attributable to increased programming rates associated with the digital services. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $1.0 million or 14.8% to $7.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 from $6.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. The increase was primarily attributable to increased marketing activity and corporate expenses 21 associated with advertising sales. Depreciation and amortization expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 increased $1.3 million or 16.4% to $9.0 million from $7.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. This increase was primarily attributable to increased capital expenditures associated with the rebuild of systems from earlier in the year. Interest expense of $1.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 remained relatively flat compared to September 30, 2000. This was primarily attributable to lower interest rates on outstanding borrowings offset by a higher average outstanding borrowings balance. Liquidity and Capital Resources The cable television business is a capital-intensive business that generally requires financing for the upgrade, expansion and maintenance of the technical infrastructure. Capital expenditures totaled $20.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. These expenditures were primarily for the rebuild of cable plant and for serving new homes. Capital expenditures were financed by cash flows from operations and capital contributions. Insight continues to further enhance the technical platform of the System by upgrading the plant serving the majority of customers. The capability for high-speed data transmission, impulse pay-per-view, digital tiers of service and additional analog channels is intended to be provided by further deployment of fiber optics, an increase in the bandwidth to 870 MHz, activation of plant to allow two-way transmission and the installation of digital equipment. Capital expenditures are expected to approximate $25.5 million during the year ending December 31, 2001 to support not only ongoing plant extensions, new customer additions and capital replacement, but also to fund the plant upgrade to 870 MHz and to activate plant for two-way transmission, which is necessary to facilitate the deployment of interactive services. Cash provided by operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000 was $15.3 million and $13.3 million, respectively. The increase was primarily attributable to timing changes in working capital accounts. Cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000 was $20.1 million and $27.9 million, respectively, reflecting capital expenditures to upgrade the System and build plant expansions. Cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 was $4.5 million. This was comprised of capital contributions of $18.5 million, less distributions on preferred interests of $14.0 million. Cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 was $19.3 million consisting of borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility of $14.0 million and capital contributions of $19.4 million, less distributions on preferred interests of $14.0 million. The $25.0 million Senior Credit Facility was fully borrowed as of September 30, 2001. 22 Due to the increased rebuild costs, management determined that cash flows from operations may not be sufficient to finance the operating and capital requirements of the System, debt service requirements and distributions on the Preferred Interests over the next year. As such, Insight Midwest has committed to provide capital contributions to fund cash requirements through the year ending December 31, 2001. Insight Midwest contributed $18.5 million to Insight Ohio during the nine months ended September 30, 2001. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 141, "Business Combinations" and No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets", effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. Under the new rules, goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives will no longer be amortized but will be subject to annual impairment tests. Other intangible assets will continue to be amortized over their useful lives. The Company is currently reviewing the impact of these standards and will be performing a fair value analysis at a later date in connection with the adoption of SFAS No. 142 on January 1, 2002. In October 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 144, "Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of," effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. SFAS No. 144 supersedes SFAS No. 121 and identifies the methods to be used in determining fair value. We are currently reviewing the impact of this standard and will be performing an analysis at a later date in connection with the adoption of SFAS No. 144 on January 1, 2002. 23 Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk Coaxial, Phoenix and Insight Ohio do not engage in trading market risk sensitive instruments and do not purchase hedging instruments or "other than trading" instruments that are likely to expose any of them to market risk, whether interest rate, foreign currency exchange, commodity price or equity price risk. Coaxial, Phoenix and Insight Ohio have not entered into forward or future contracts, purchased options or entered into swaps. Insight Ohio's senior credit facility bears interest at floating rates. Accordingly, Insight Ohio is exposed to potential losses related to changes in interest rates. A hypothetical 100 basis point increase in interest rates along the entire interest rate yield curve would increase our projected annual interest expense by approximately $250,000. The Senior Notes issued by Coaxial and Phoenix bears interest at fixed rates. The fair value of borrowings under Insight Ohio's senior credit facility approximates carrying value as it bears interest at floating rates. The fair value and carrying value of the Senior Notes as of September 30, 2001 was $137.0 million and $140.0 million, respectively. 24 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION Item 6.
