General
Pegasus Media & Communications, Inc. ("Pegasus", or together with its
subsidiaries, the "Company") is a diversified media and communications company
which operates in two media segments: multichannel television and broadcast
television. Pegasus Multichannel provides direct broadcast satellite ("DBS")
service and cable television ("Cable") service to 53,000 subscribers in four
states and Puerto Rico in franchise areas that include 610,000 households and
79,000 businesses. Pegasus Broadcast owns and operates five television stations
affiliated with the Fox Broadcasting Company ("Fox") and has entered into
agreements to operate two additional television stations in two of these markets
in 1997. The Company has grown through the acquisition and operation of media
and communications properties characterized by clearly identifiable "franchises"
and significant operating leverage, which enables increases in revenues to be
converted into disproportionately greater increases in Location Cash Flow.
Pegasus was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware in
December 1993. Prior to October 8, 1996 the Company was a direct subsidiary of
Pegasus Communications Holdings, Inc. ("PCH"). Effective October 8, 1996 the
Company became a direct subsidiary of Pegasus Communications Corporation ("PCC")
in connection with PCC's initial public offering of its Class A Common Stock. On
December 30, 1996, as a result of a registered exchange offer made to holders of
Pegasus' Class B Common Stock, Pegasus became a wholly-owned subsidiary of PCC.
The Company's operating strategy is to generate consistent revenue
growth and to convert this revenue growth into disproportionately greater
increases in Location Cash Flow. The Company seeks to achieve revenue growth (i)
in DBS by identifying market segments in which DIRECTV programming will have
strong appeal, developing marketing and promotion campaigns to increase consumer
awareness of and demand for DIRECTV programming within those market segments and
building distribution networks consisting of consumer electronics and satellite
equipment dealers, programming sales agents and the Company's own direct sales
force, (ii) in Cable by increasing the number of its subscribers and revenue per
subscriber through improvements in signal reception, the quality and quantity of
its programming, line extensions and rate increases, and (iii) in TV by
attracting a dominant share of the viewing of underserved demographic groups it
believes to be attractive to advertisers and by developing aggressive sales
forces capable of "overselling" its stations' share of those audiences. The
Company seeks to convert increases in revenues into disproportionately greater
increases in Location Cash Flow through the use of incentive plans, which reward
employees in proportion to annual increases in Location Cash Flow, coupled with
rigorous budgeting and strict cost controls.
The Company's acquisition strategy is to identify media and
communications businesses in which significant increases in Location Cash Flow
may be realized and where the ratio of required investment to potential Location
Cash Flow is low. The Company seeks to acquire new television and cable
properties at attractive prices for which the Company can improve its operating
results.

Notes to Selected Historical Consolidated Financial Data
(1) The Company's operations began in 1991. The 1993 data include the
results of the Mayaguez, Puerto Rico Cable system from March 1, 1993
and WOLF/WWLF/WILF, WDSI and WDBD from May 1, 1993.
(2) Incentive compensation represents compensation expenses which are
calculated in proportion to annual increases in Location Cash Flow.
(3) Location Cash Flow is defined as net revenues less location operating
expenses. Location operating expenses consist of programming, barter
programming, general and administrative, technical and operations,
marketing and selling expenses. Operating Cash Flow is defined as
income (loss) from operations plus (i) depreciation and amortization
and (ii) non-cash incentive compensation. The difference between
Location Cash Flow and Operating Cash Flow is that Operating Cash Flow
includes cash incentive compensation and management fees. Although
Operating Cash Flow and Location Cash Flow are not measures of
performance under generally accepted accounting principles, the Company
believes that Location Cash Flow and Operating Cash Flow are accepted
within the Company's business segments as generally recognized measures
of performance and are used by analysts who report publicly on the
performance of companies operating in such segments. Nevertheless,
these measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute
for income from operations, net income, net cash provided by operating
activities or any other measure for determining the Company's operating
performance or liquidity which is calculated in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles.
(4) The Company has not paid any cash dividends and does not anticipate
paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Payment of cash
dividends on the Company's Common Stock are restricted by the terms of
the Company's Series B Notes.

Item 7: Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
The following discussion of the financial condition and results of
operations of the Company should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated
Financial Statements and related notes which are included elsewhere herein. This
Report contains certain forward-looking statements that involve risks and
uncertainties. The Company's actual results could differ materially from those
discussed herein.
General
The Company is a diversified media and communications company operating
in two business segments: multichannel television and broadcast television. The
Company 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. 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. Its cable operations consist of systems in New England and Puerto
Rico. The Company acquired an additional Puerto Rico cable system effective
September 1, 1996.
Results of Operations
TV revenues are derived from the sale of broadcast air time to local
and national advertisers. DBS revenues are derived from monthly customer
subscriptions, pay-per-view services, Digital Satellite System ("DSS") equipment
rentals, leases and installation charges. Cable revenues are derived from
monthly subscriptions, pay-per-view services, subscriber equipment rentals, home
shopping commissions, advertising time sales and installation charges.
The Company's location 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, and (iv) general and administrative expenses. 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 television program suppliers in lieu
of cash. DBS programming expenses consist of amounts paid to program suppliers,
DSS authorization charges and satellite control fees, each of which is paid on a
per subscriber basis, and DIRECTV royalties which are equal to 5% of program
service revenues. Cable programming expenses consist of amounts paid to program
suppliers on a per subscriber basis.
Year ended December 31, 1996 compared to year ended December 31, 1995
The Company's net revenues increased by approximately $14.1 million or
44% for the year ended December 31, 1996 as compared to the same period in 1995
as a result of (i) a $8.5 million or 43% increase in TV revenues of which $1.5
million or 17% was due to ratings growth which the Company was able to convert
into higher revenues and $7.0 million or 83% was the result of acquisitions made
in the first quarter of 1996, (ii) a $2.7 million or 187% increase in DBS
revenues due to the increased number of DBS subscribers, (iii) a $2.0 million or
51% increase in Puerto Rico Cable revenues due primarily to acquisitions
effective September 1, 1996, and (iv) a $864,000 or 13% increase in New England
Cable revenues due primarily to rate increases and new combined service
packages.
The Company's total location operating expenses increased by
approximately $8.6 million or 41% for the year ended December 31, 1996 as
compared to the same period in 1995 as a result of (i) a $4.8 million or 34%
increase in TV operating expenses as the net result of a $115,000 or 1% decrease
in same station direct operating expenses and a $4.9 million increase
attributable to stations acquired in the first quarter of 1996, (ii) a $2.4
million or 176% increase in operating expenses generated by the Company's DBS
operations due to an increase in programming costs of $1.4 million, royalty
costs of $138,000, marketing expenses of $455,000, customer support charges of
$199,000 and other DIRECTV costs such as security, authorization fees and
telemetry and tracking charges totaling $237,000, all generated from the
increased number of DBS subscribers, (iii) a $912,000 or 37% increase in Puerto
Rico Cable operating expenses as the net result of a $64,000 or 3% decrease in
same system direct operating expenses and a $976,000 increase attributable to
the system acquired effective September 1, 1996, and (iv) a $489,000 or 15%
increase in New England Cable operating expenses due primarily to increases in
programming costs associated with the new combined service
7
packages.
As a result of these factors, Location Cash Flow increased by $5.5
million or 51% for the year ended December 31, 1996 as compared to the same
period in 1995 as a result of (i) a $3.7 million or 62% increase in TV Location
Cash Flow of which $1.6 million or 42% was due to an increase in same station
Location Cash Flow and $2.1 million or 58% was due to an increase attributable
to stations acquired in the first quarter of 1996, (ii) a $312,000 increase in
DBS Location Cash Flow, (iii) a $1.1 million or 72% increase in Puerto Rico
Cable Location Cash Flow of which $126,000 or 11% was due to an increase in same
system Location Cash Flow and $988,000 or 89% was due to the system acquired
effective September 1, 1996, and (iv) a $375,000 or 11% increase in New England
Cable Location Cash Flow.
As a result of these factors, incentive compensation which is
calculated from increases in Location Cash Flow increased by approximately
$407,000 or 77% for the year ended December 31, 1996 as compared to the same
period in 1995 due mainly to the increases in revenues.
Management charges, which are comprised of fees calculated at 5% of net
revenues plus an allocated share of corporate accounting costs, increased by
$275,000 or 16% for the year ended December 31, 1996 as compared to the same
period in 1995 primarily due to the initiation of public reporting requirements
for the Company.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased by approximately $1.8
million or 21% for the year ended December 31, 1996 as compared to the same
period in 1995 as the Company increased its fixed and intangible assets as a
result of three completed acquisitions during 1996.
As a result of these factors, income from operations increased by
approximately $3.0 million for the year ended December 31, 1996 as compared to
the same period in 1995.
Interest expense, net of interest income, increased by approximately
$3.8 million or 45% for the year ended December 31, 1996 as compared to the same
period in 1995 as a result of a combination of the Company's issuance of Notes
on July 7, 1995 and an increase in debt associated with the Company's 1996
acquisitions. A portion of the proceeds from the issuance of the Notes was used
to retire floating debt on which the effective interest rate was lower than the
12.5% interest rate under the Notes, but having other less favorable terms.
The Company reported a net loss of approximately $9.5 million for the
year ended December 31, 1996 as compared to net income of approximately $1.6
million for the same period in 1995. The $11.1 million change was the net result
of an increase in income from operations of approximately $3.0 million, an
increase in net interest expense of $3.8 million, a decrease in extraordinary
items of $10.5 million from extinguishment of debt, a decrease in the provision
for income taxes of $150,000 and an increase in other expenses of approximately
$92,000.
Year ended December 31, 1995 compared to year ended December 31, 1994
The Company's net revenues increased by approximately $3.9 million for
the year ended December 31, 1995 as compared to the same period in 1994 as a
result of (i) a $2.2 million or 12% increase in TV revenues due to ratings
growth and improved economic conditions within the Company's markets, which the
Company was able to convert into higher revenues, (ii) a $293,000 or 5% increase
in New England Cable revenues due to an increase in the number of subscribers
and rate increases in August and September 1995, (iii) a $165,000 or 4% increase
in Puerto Rico Cable revenues due primarily to a 6% rate increase implemented in
March 1995, and (iv) $1.3 million of revenue from DBS operations which commenced
in the fourth quarter of 1994.
The Company's total location operating expenses increased by
approximately $3.0 million for the year ended December 31, 1995 as compared to
the same period in 1994 as a result of (i) a $1.6 million or 13% increase in TV
operating expenses primarily due to increases in programming, sales and
promotion expenses, (ii) a $115,000 or 4% increase in New England Cable
operating expenses due primarily to increases in programming costs, (iii) a
$130,000 or 6% increase in Puerto Rico Cable operating expenses due primarily to
an increase in programming costs for existing channels, but also increases in
the number of Spanish language channels offered by the system, and (iv) $1.2
million of operating expenses generated by the Company's DBS

operations which commenced in the fourth quarter of 1994.
As a result of these factors, Location Cash Flow increased by $904,000
or 9% for the year ended December 31, 1995 as compared to the same period in
1994.
Management charges increased by approximately $271,000 for the year
ended December 31, 1995 as compared to the same period in 1994 due to an
increase in revenues and a change in the method used to calculate management
charges for the TV stations from 15% of operating cash flow to 5% of net
revenues.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased by approximately $1.8
million for the year ended December 31, 1995 as compared to the same period in
1994 primarily as a result of the amortization of the Company's DBS rights and
deferred financing costs.
As a result of these factors, the loss from operations increased by
approximately $1.3 million for the year ended December 31, 1995 as compared to
the same period in 1994.
Interest expense, net of interest income, increased by approximately
$2.5 million for the year ended December 31, 1995 as compared to the same period
in 1994 as a result of an increase in the average interest rate applicable to
the Company's debt and an increase in the amount of debt outstanding both
resulting primarily from the Company's note offering completed in July 1995.
The Company's net income increased by $7.2 million for the year ended
December 31, 1995 as compared to the same period in 1994 as a net result of an
increase in the loss from operations of approximately $1.3 million, an increase
in net interest expense of $2.5 million, a decrease in income taxes of $100,000,
a decrease in other expenses of approximately $21,000 and an increase in
extraordinary items of $10.8 million for the reasons described in "Liquidity and
Capital Resources."
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 had $9.9 million in a restricted cash
account at December 31, 1995 that was used to pay interest on the Company's
Notes in January and July 1996. The Company's principal uses of its cash have
been to fund acquisitions, to meet its debt service obligations, to fund
investments in its TV and Cable technical facilities and to fund investments in
Cable and DBS customer premises equipment that is rented or leased to
subscribers.
During the year ended December 31, 1996, net cash provided by
operations was approximately $8.6 million, which together with $12.0 million of
cash on hand at the beginning of the year and $38.9 million of net cash provided
by the Company's financing activities was used to fund investing activities of
$51.0 million. Investment activities consisted of (i) the Portland Acquisition
and the Tallahassee Acquisition for approximately $14.8 million, (ii) the Cable
Acquisition for approximately $26.0 million, (iii) the purchase of the Pegasus
Cable Television of Connecticut, Inc. ("PCT-CT") office facility and headend
facility for $201,000, (iv) the fiber upgrade in the PCT-CT Cable system
amounting to $323,000, (v) the purchase of DSS units used as rental and lease
units amounting to $832,000, (vi) payments of programming rights amounting to
$1.8 million, and (vii) maintenance and other capital expenditures and
intangibles totaling approximately $7.1 million. As of December 31, 1996, the
Company's cash on hand approximated $8.4 million.
During 1995, net cash provided by operations was approximately $6.1
million, which together with $1.4 million of cash on hand and $10.9 million of
net cash provided by the Company's financing activities, was used to fund a
$12.5 million distribution to PCH and to fund investment activities totaling
$6.4 million. Investment activities consisted of (i) the final payment of the
deferred purchase price for the Company's DBS rights of approximately $1.9
million, (ii) the purchase of a new WDSI studio and office facility for
$520,000, (iii) the purchase of a LIBOR cap for $300,000, (iv) the purchase of
DSS units used as rental and lease units for $157,000, (v) payments of
programming rights amounting to $1.2 million, and (vi) maintenance and other
capital expenditures totaling approximately $2.3 million.
During 1994, net cash provided by operations amounted to $4.0 million,
which together with cash on hand and borrowings of $35.0 million was used to
fund capital expenditures of $1.2 million, to pay a portion of the deferred
purchase price of the DBS rights for $943,000, to repay debt totaling $34.0
million, to fund debt issuance costs of $1.6 million and to pay programming
rights of $1.3 million.

The Company closely monitors conditions in the capital markets to
identify opportunities for the effective and prudent use of financial leverage.
In financing its future expansion and acquisition requirements, the Company
would expect to avail itself of such opportunities and thereby increase its
indebtedness which could result in increased debt service requirements. There
can be no assurance that such debt financing can be completed on terms
satisfactory to the Company or at all. The Company may also issue additional
equity to fund its future expansion and acquisition requirements.
The Company's ability to incur additional indebtedness is limited under
the terms of the indenture relating to its Series B Notes (the "Indenture") and
its credit facility (the "New Credit Facility"). These limitations take the form
of certain leverage ratios and are dependent upon certain measures of
profitability. Under terms of the New Credit Facility, capital expenditures and
business acquisitions that do not meet certain criteria will require lender
consent.
The Company is highly leveraged. As of December 31, 1996 the Company
has indebtedness of $115.5 million, total stockholders' (deficiency) of $9.6
million and, assuming certain conditions are met, $20.4 million available under
the New Credit Facility. For the year ended December 31, 1996 the Company's
earnings were inadequate to cover its combined fixed charges by approximately
$9.4 million. The ability of the Company to repay its existing indebtedness will
depend upon future operating performance, which is subject to the success of the
Company's business strategy, prevailing economic conditions, regulatory matters,
levels of interest rates and financial, business and other factors, many of
which are beyond the Company's control.
The Company completed the $85.0 million Notes offering on July 7, 1995.
The Notes were issued pursuant to an Indenture between the Company and First
Union National Bank, as trustee. The Indenture restricts the Company's ability
to engage in certain types of transactions including debt incurrence, payment of
dividends, investments in unrestricted subsidiaries and affiliate transactions.
During July 1995, the Company entered into a credit facility in the
amount of $10.0 million (the "Old Credit Facility") from which $6.0 million was
drawn in connection with the Portland and Tallahassee Acquisitions in the first
quarter of 1996 and $2.8 million was drawn to fund deposits in connection with
the Cable Acquisition. The Old Credit Facility was retired in August 1996 from
borrowings under the New Credit Facility.
The New Credit Facility is a seven-year, senior collateralized
revolving credit facility for $50.0 million. The amount of the New Credit
Facility will reduce quarterly beginning March 31, 1998. As of December 31,
1996, $29.6 million had been drawn under the New Credit Facility in connection
with the retirement of the Old Credit Facility and the consummation of the Cable
Acquisition. The New Credit Facility is intended to be used for general
corporate purposes and to fund possible future acquisitions. Borrowings under
the New Credit Facility are subject to among other things, the Company's ratio
of total funded debt to adjusted operating cash flow.
The Company believes that it has adequate resources to meet its working
capital, maintenance capital expenditure and debt service obligations. The
Company believes that the available borrowings under the New Credit Facility and
future indebtedness which may be incurred by the Company and its subsidiaries
will give the Company the ability to fund acquisitions and other capital
requirements in the future. 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.
Capital Expenditures
The Company's capital expenditures aggregated $6.3 million in 1996 as
compared to $2.6 million in 1995. The increase was primarily due to $3.1 million
of nonrecurring expenditures relating to TV transmitter upgrades and Cable
interconnections and fiber upgrades. The Company expects recurring renewal and
refurbishment capital expenditures to total approximately $2.0 million per year.
In addition to these maintenance capital expenditures, the Company's 1997
capital projects include (i) DBS expenditures of approximately $230 per new
subscriber, (ii) Cable expenditures of approximately $1.0 million for the
completion of the interconnection of the Puerto Rico Cable systems and fiber
upgrades in Puerto Rico and New England, and (iii) approximately $6.5 to $7.5
million of TV expenditures for broadcast television transmitter, tower and
facility constructions and upgrades. There can be no assurance that the
Company's capital expenditure plans will not change in the future.
10
Other
Under the terms of the Indenture relating to the Company's Series B
Notes, the Company is prohibited from paying dividends prior to July 1, 1998.
The payment of dividends subsequent to July 1, 1998 will be subject to the
satisfaction of certain financial conditions set forth in the Indenture, and
will also be subject to lender consent under the terms of the New Credit
Facility.
The Company's ability to incur additional indebtedness is limited under the
terms of the Indenture and the New Credit Facility. These limitations take the
form of certain leverage ratios and are dependent upon certain measures of
operating profitability. Under the terms of the New Credit Facility, capital
expenditures and business acquisitions that do not meet certain criteria will
require lender consent.
The Company's revenues vary throughout the year. As is typical in the
broadcast television industry, the Company's first quarter generally produces
the lowest revenues for the year, and the fourth quarter generally produces the
highest revenues for the year. The Company's operating results in any period may
be affected by the incurrence of advertising and promotion expenses that do not
necessarily produce commensurate revenues in the short-term until the impact of
such advertising and promotion is realized in future periods.
The Company believes that inflation has not been a material factor
affecting the Company's business. In general, the Company's revenues and
expenses are impacted to the same extent by inflation. Substantially all of the
Company's indebtedness bear interest at a fixed rate.
In March 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.
128, "Earnings Per Share." This Statement establishes standards for computing
and presenting earnings per share (EPS) and applies to entities with publicly
held common stock or potential common stock. This Statement is effective for
financial statements issued for periods ending after December 15, 1997, earlier
application is not permitted. This Statement requires restatement of all
prior-period EPS data presented. The Company is currently evaluating the impact,
if any, adoption of SFAS No. 128 will have on its financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Directors and Stockholder of
Pegasus Media & Communications, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Pegasus Media &
Communications, Inc. as of December 31, 1995 and 1996, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, changes in total equity, and cash flows
for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Pegasus Media &
Communications, Inc. as of December 31, 1995 and 1996, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 1996 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

PEGASUS MEDIA & COMMUNICATIONS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. The Company:
Pegasus Media & Communications, Inc. ("Pegasus" or together with its
subsidiaries stated below, the "Company"), is a diversified media and
communications company whose subsidiaries consist of Pegasus Broadcast
Television, Inc. ("PBT"), Pegasus Cable Television, Inc. ("PCT"), Pegasus
Broadcast Associates, L.P. ("PBA"), Pegasus Satellite Television, Inc. ("PST")
and MCT Cablevision, L.P. ("MCT"). PBT operates broadcast television ("TV")
stations affiliated with the Fox Broadcasting Company television network
("Fox"). PCT, together with its subsidiary, Pegasus Cable Television of
Connecticut, Inc. ("PCT-CT") and MCT operate cable television ("Cable") systems
that provide service to individual and commercial subscribers in New England and
Puerto Rico, respectively. PST provides direct broadcast satellite ("DBS")
service to customers in the New England area. PBA holds a television station
license which simulcasts programming from a station operated by PBT.
Prior to October 8, 1996 the Company was a direct subsidiary of Pegasus
Communications Holdings, Inc. ("PCH"). Effective October 8, 1996 the Company
became a direct subsidiary of Pegasus Communications Corporation ("PCC") as a
result of PCC's initial public offering (the "Initial Public Offering") of its
Class A Common Stock. On December 30, 1996, as a result of a registered exchange
offer made to holders of Pegasus' Class B Common Stock, Pegasus became a
wholly-owned subsidiary of PCC.
On October 8, 1996, in conjunction with the Initial Public Offering,
the limited partnerships which owned and operated the Company's Puerto Rico
cable operations and owned one of its' broadcast licenses, restructured. This
reorganization has been accounted for as if a pooling of interests had occurred.
On October 31, 1994, the limited partnerships, which owned and operated
PCH's broadcast television, New England cable and satellite operations,
restructured and transferred their assets to the Company. This reorganization
has been accounted for as if a pooling of interests had occurred.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
Basis of Presentation:
The financial statements include the accounts of Pegasus and all of its
subsidiaries or affiliates. All intercompany transactions and balances have been
eliminated.
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. Significant estimates relate to barter transactions and the
useful lives and recoverability of intangible assets.
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.

PEGASUS MEDIA & COMMUNICATIONS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued):
Property and Equipment:
Property and equipment are stated at cost. The cost and related
accumulated depreciation of assets sold, retired, or otherwise disposed of are
removed from the respective accounts, and any resulting gains or losses are
included in the statement of operations. For cable television systems, initial
subscriber installation costs, including material, labor and overhead costs of
the hookup, are capitalized as part of the distribution facilities. The costs of
disconnection and reconnection are charged to expense. Satellite equipment that
is leased to customers is stated at cost.
Depreciation is computed for financial reporting purposes using the
straight-line method based upon the following lives:
Reception and distribution facilities................ 7 to 11 years
Transmitter equipment................................ 5 to 10 years
Equipment, furniture and fixtures.................... 5 to 10 years
Building and improvements............................ 12 to 39 years
Vehicles............................................. 3 to 5 years
Intangible Assets:
Intangible assets are stated at cost and amortized by the straight-line
method. Costs of successful franchise applications are capitalized and amortized
over the lives of the related franchise agreements, while unsuccessful franchise
applications and abandoned franchises are charged to expense. Financing costs
incurred in obtaining long-term financing are amortized over the term of the
applicable loan. Goodwill, broadcast licenses, network affiliation agreements
and other intangible assets ("Intangible Assets") are reviewed periodically for
impairment or whenever events or circumstances provide evidence that suggest
that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. The Company assesses the
recoverability of its Intangible Assets by determining whether the amortization
of the respective Intangible Asset balance can be recovered through projected
undiscounted future cash flows.
Amortization of Intangible Assets is computed using the straight-line
method based upon the following lives:
Broadcast licenses................................... 40 years
Network affiliation agreements....................... 40 years
Goodwill............................................. 40 years
Other intangibles.................................... 2 to 14 years
Revenue:
The Company operates in two industry segments: multichannel television
(DBS and Cable) and broadcast television (TV). The Company recognizes revenue in
its TV operations when advertising spots are broadcasted. The Company recognizes
revenue in its DBS and Cable operations when video and audio services are
provided.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
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, which totaled approximately $71,000, $215,000 and $73,000 in 1994,
1995 and 1996, respectively. For running independent producers' programming, the
Company received 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.
Advertising Costs:
Advertising costs are charged to operations in the year incurred and
totaled $525,000, $613,000 and $975,000 for the years ended December 31, 1994,
1995 and 1996, respectively.
Cash and Cash Equivalents:
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.
Restricted Cash:
The Company had restricted cash, including interest earned, held in
escrow of $9.9 million at December 31, 1995. These funds were disbursed from the
escrow to pay interest on its Series B Senior Subordinated Notes due 2005 (the
"Series B Notes") in 1996.
Program Rights:
The Company enters into agreements to show motion pictures and
syndicated programs on television. In accordance with the Statements of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 63, "Financial Reporting by Broadcasters"
("SFAS No. 63"), only the right and associated liabilities for those films and
programs currently available for showing are recorded. These rights are recorded
at the lower of unamortized cost or estimated net realizable value and are
amortized on the straight-line method over the license period which approximates
amortization based on the estimated number of showings during the contract
period. Amortization of $1.2 million, $1.3 million and $1.5 million is included
in programming expenses for the years ended December 31, 1994, 1995 and 1996,
respectively. The obligations arising from the acquisition of film rights are
recorded at the gross amount. Payments for the contracts are made pursuant to
the contractual terms over periods which are generally shorter than the license
periods.
The Company has entered into agreements totaling $1.7 million as of
December 31, 1996, which are not yet available for showing at December 31, 1996,
and accordingly, are not recorded by the Company.
At December 31, 1996, the Company has commitments for future program
rights of approximately $1.3 million, $815,000, $363,000 and $18,000 in 1997,
1998, 1999 and 2000, respectively.

PEGASUS MEDIA & COMMUNICATIONS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued):
Income Taxes:
On October 31, 1994, in conjunction with the incorporation of certain
entities, the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS No. 109") were adopted. Prior to such date,
the above entities operated as partnerships for federal and state income tax
purposes and, therefore, no provision for income taxes was necessary. MCT is
treated as a partnership for federal and state income tax purposes, but taxed as
a corporation for Puerto Rico income tax purposes. The adoption of SFAS No. 109
did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of
operations. For the year ended December 31, 1994, income and deferred taxes are
based on the Company's operations from November 1, 1994 through December 31,
1994, excluding (i) MCT, which for Puerto Rico income tax purposes is taxed as a
corporation for the 12 month period ended December 31, 1994, and (ii) PBA, which
is a limited partnership.
Concentration of Credit Risk:
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to
concentrations of credit risk consist principally of trade receivables.
Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade receivables are
limited due to the large number of customers comprising the Company's customer
base, and their dispersion across different businesses and geographic regions.

5. Long-Term Debt (continued):
In October 1994, the Company repaid the outstanding balances under its
senior and junior term loan agreements with a portion of the proceeds from a
$20.0 million term note agreement ("senior note") and $15.0 million subordinated
term loan agreement ("subordinated loan") from various banking institutions. The
senior note and subordinated loan were scheduled to mature on December 31, 2001
and September 30, 2003, respectively. Amounts were subsequently repaid as
described below, which resulted in an extraordinary loss of $633,267.
In July 1995, the Company sold 85,000 units consisting of $85.0 million
in aggregate amount of 12.5% Series A Senior Subordinated Notes due 2005 (the
"Series A Notes" and, together with the Series B Notes, the "Notes") and 8,500
shares of the Company's Class B Common Stock (the "Note Offering"). 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) to fund proposed acquisitions.
In November 1995, the Company exchanged its Series B Notes for the
Series A Notes. The Series B Notes have substantially the same terms and
provisions as the Series A Notes. There was no gain or loss recorded with this
transaction.
The Series B Notes are guaranteed on a full, unconditional, senior
subordinated basis, jointly and severally by a majority of the wholly owned
direct and indirect subsidiaries of Pegasus. The Company's indebtedness contain
certain financial and operating covenants, including restrictions on the Company
to incur additional indebtedness, create liens and to pay dividends. The Company
is in compliance with all its financial and operating covenants.
The fair value of the Company's Series B Notes approximates $91.8
million as of December 31, 1996. This amount is approximately $10.2 million
higher than the carrying amount reported on the balance sheet at December 31,
1996. Fair value is estimated based on the quoted market price for the same or
similar instruments.
In conjunction with the acquisition of the WTLH Tallahassee, Florida
FCC license and Fox affiliation agreement (see Footnote 12), the Company
incurred indebtedness of $3.1 million. The fair market value of the note payable
approximates the carrying amount.
In August 1996, the Company entered into a $50.0 million seven-year
senior revolving credit facility, which is collateralized by substantially all
of the Company's assets. On the same date, the Company had drawn $8.8 million to
repay all amounts outstanding under the $10.0 million senior collateralized
five-year revolving credit facility and $22.8 million to fund the acquisition of
Dom's Tele-Cable, Inc. ("Dom's"). Deferred financing fees relating to the $10.0
million revolving credit facility were written off, resulting in an
extraordinary loss of $250,603 on the refinancing transaction. The $50.0 million
revolving credit facility is subject to certain financial covenants as defined
in the loan agreement, including a debt to adjusted cash flow covenant. The fair
market value of the revolving credit facility approximates the carrying
amount.
At December 31, 1996, maturities of long-term debt and capital leases
are as follows:
1997 $306,975
1998 3,283,016
1999 212,321

6. Leases:
The Company leases certain studios, towers, utility pole attachments,
occupancy of underground conduits and headend sites under operating leases. The
Company also leases office space, vehicles and various types of equipment
through separate operating lease agreements. The operating leases expire at
various dates through 2007. Rent expense for the years ended December 31, 1994,
1995 and 1996 was $464,477, $503,118 and $685,674, respectively.
The Company leases equipment under long-term leases and has the option
to purchase the equipment for a nominal cost at the termination of the leases.
The related obligations are included in long-term debt. Property and equipment
at December 31 include the following amounts for leases that have been
capitalized:

7. 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 in cash.
The Company is currently contesting a claim for unpaid premiums on its
workers' compensation 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.

Legal Matters (continued):
From time to time the Company is also involved with claims that arise
in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate
liability with respect to the above claims will not have a material adverse
effect on the consolidated operations, cash flows or financial position of the
Company.
8. Income Taxes:

The Company has recorded a valuation allowance to reflect the estimated
amount of deferred tax assets which may not be realized due to the expiration of
the Company's net operating loss carryforwards and portions of other deferred
tax assets related to prior acquisitions. The valuation allowance increased
primarily as the result of net operating loss carryforwards generated during
1996 which may not be utilized.
At December 31, 1996, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards
of approximately $41.8 million which are available to offset future taxable
income and expire through 2012.

12. Acquisitions:
In January 1996, PCH, the parent of the Company, acquired all of the
outstanding stock of Portland Broadcasting, Inc. ("PBI"), which owns the
tangible assets of WPXT, Portland, Maine. PCH immediately transferred ownership
of PBI to the Company. The aggregate purchase price of PBI was approximately
$11.7 million of which $1.5 million was allocated to fixed and tangible assets
and $10.2 million to intangible assets. In June 1996, PCH acquired the FCC
license of WPXT for aggregate consideration of $3.0 million. PCH immediately
transferred the ownership of the license to the Company.
Effective March 1, 1996, the Company acquired the principal tangible
assets of WTLH, Inc., Tallahassee, Florida and certain of its affiliates for
approximately $5.0 million, except for the FCC license and Fox affiliation
agreement. Additionally, the Company entered into a put/call agreement regarding
the FCC license and Fox affiliation agreement with the licensee of WTLH. In
August 1996, the Company exercised its rights and recorded $3.1 million in
intangible assets and long term debt.
The aggregate purchase price of WTLH, Inc. and the related FCC licenses
and Fox affiliation agreement is approximately $8.1 million of which $2.2
million was allocated to fixed and tangible assets and $5.9 million to various
intangible assets. In addition, PCH granted the sellers of WTLH a warrant to
purchase $1.0 million of stock of one of its subsidiaries at $14.00 per share.
The warrant expired in February 1997.
Effective August 29, 1996, the Company acquired all of the assets of
Dom's for approximately $25.0 million in cash and $1.0 million in assumed
liabilities. Dom's operates cable systems serving ten communities contiguous to
the Company's Mayaguez, Puerto Rico cable system. The aggregate purchase price
of the principal assets of Dom's amounted to $26.0 million of which $4.7 million
was allocated to fixed and tangible assets and $21.3 million to various
intangible assets.
In accordance with the Purchase Method of accounting, the purchase
price has been allocated to the underlying assets and liabilities based on their
respective fair values at the date of the acquisition. Such allocations have
been based on preliminary estimates which may be revised at a later date.
The following unaudited summary, prepared on a pro forma basis,
combines the results of operations as if the above stations and cable system 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. The pro forma information does not purport to be
indicative of what would have occurred had the acquisitions been made on those
dates or of results which may occur in the future. This pro forma does not
include the New Hampshire Cable Sale, which did not occur as of December 31,
1996 (see Footnote 13).

15. 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.
Restricted Subsidiaries carries the same meaning as in the Indenture. Pro forma
for the acquisitions of WPXT, WTLH and Dom's, Adjusted Operating Cash Flow would
have been approximately $17.6 million.
