PART I.    FINANCIAL INFORMATION
 
Item 1.    Financial Statements
 
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. However, in our opinion, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the relevant periods have been made. Results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the summary of significant accounting policies and the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001.

COAXIAL COMMUNICATIONS OF CENTRAL OHIO, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
1.  Organization and Basis of Presentation
 
Coaxial Communications of Central Ohio, Inc. (the “Company” or “Coaxial Inc.”), 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 67½% 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 A preferred equity interest to the Company is designed to provide the cash flow necessary to service the debt requirements on the Senior Notes.
 
2.  Responsibility for Interim Financial Statements
 
The accompanying unaudited 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 financial statements reflect all adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations and financial position for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. These unaudited interim 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 for the year ended December 31, 2001.

COAXIAL COMMUNICATIONS OF CENTRAL OHIO, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
 
2.  Responsibility for Interim Financial Statements (continued)
 
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 and six months ended June 30, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2002 or any other interim period.
 
3.  Comprehensive Income (Loss)
 
Comprehensive income (loss) totaled ($6.0) million and ($7.3) million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 and $709,000 and $4.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001, respectively. The Company owns common stock that is classified as available-for-sale and reported at market value, with unrealized gains and losses recorded as accumulated other comprehensive income or loss in the accompanying balance sheets.

INSIGHT COMMUNICATIONS OF CENTRAL OHIO, LLC
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
1.    Business Organization and Purpose
 
Insight Communications of Central Ohio, LLC (the “Company”) is a subsidiary of Insight Holdings of Ohio, LLC which owns 100% of its common equity, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Insight Midwest, L.P. (“Insight Midwest”). Insight Midwest is equally owned by Insight Communications Company L.P. (“Insight LP”) and AT&T Broadband. Insight LP, as general partner and manager of Insight Midwest, manages and operates the Company’s systems. The Company provides basic and expanded cable television services to homes in the eastern parts of Columbus, Ohio and surrounding areas.
 
2.    Responsibility for Interim Financial Statements
 
The accompanying unaudited 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 financial statements reflect all adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations and financial position for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. These unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes to financial statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001.
 
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 and six months ended June 30, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2002 or any other interim period.
 
3.    Accounting for Franchise Fees
 
Under the Company’s franchise agreements, the Company is obligated to pay to local franchising authorities up to 5% of its gross revenue derived from providing cable and other services the majority of which are passed through to its customers. The Company has historically recorded revenue net of franchise fees charged to its customers. Staff announcement D-103, issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board staff in November 2001, specifies that reimbursements received from a customer should be reflected as revenues and not as a reduction of expenses. This staff announcement applies to financial reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2001. Upon application of this staff announcement, comparative financial statements for prior periods are required to be reclassified to comply with the guidance in this staff announcement. Consequently, the Company has reclassified the

14

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
 
3.    Accounting for Franchise Fees (continued)
 
amounts in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations to reflect franchise fees on a gross basis for all periods presented with reimbursements as revenue and payments as expense. The effect on the prior period statement of operations was to increase both revenue and selling, general and administrative costs by $379,000 and $759,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001.
 
In addition, certain other prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
 
4.    Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” which became effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2002. SFAS No. 144 supersedes FASB Statement No. 121, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of,” and the accounting and reporting provisions relating to the disposal of a segment of a business of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30. The adoption of SFAS No. 144 had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
 
5.    Commitments and Contingencies
 
Programming Contracts
 
The Company enters into long-term contracts with third parties who provide programming for distribution over the Company’s cable television systems. These programming contracts are a significant part of our business and represent a substantial portion of our operating costs. Since future fees under such contracts are based on numerous variables, including number and type of customers, the Company has not recorded any liabilities with respect to such contracts.
 
Litigation
 
The Company is party in or may be affected by various matters under litigation. Management believes that the ultimate outcome of these matters will not have a significant adverse effect on the Company’s future results of operations or financial position.

6.    Related Party Transactions
 
Management Fees
 
The Company pays Insight LP management fees of approximately 3% of its revenue to serve as manager of the Company’s cable systems. Fees under this operating agreement were $458,000 and $897,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 and $418,000 and $814,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001, respectively.
 
Progamming
 
The Company purchases substantially all of its pay television and other programming from affiliates of AT&T Broadband. Charges for such programming were $1.7 million and $3.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 and $1.1 million and $3.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001, respectively. As of June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, $578,000 and $1.6 million of accrued programming costs were due to affiliates of AT&T Broadband. The Company believes that the programming rates charged by the affiliates of AT&T Broadband are lower than those available from independent parties.

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 that 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 Inc.”), Phoenix Associates (“Phoenix”) and Insight Ohio (collectively, the “Companies”) 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 the Companies, and reflect future business decisions that are subject to change. Although the management of the Companies 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 Inc. 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 Inc. and Phoenix have no significant assets other than Coaxial Inc.’s ownership of the Preferred Interest in Insight Ohio and equity investments; and
 
 
•
 
the fact that the indenture governing the terms of the Senior Notes imposes restrictions on Coaxial Inc., Phoenix and Insight Ohio and the Senior Credit Facility of the System imposes restrictions on Insight Ohio.
 
Management of the Companies does not intend to update these forward-looking statements.
 
Coaxial Inc. 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.

17

 
The following discussion relates to the operations of the System for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2001.
 
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 receives management fees of approximately 3.0% of gross operating revenue 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.
 
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.
 
Under the Systems’ franchise agreements, the System is obligated to pay to local franchising authorities up to 5% of its gross revenue derived from providing cable and other services the majority of which are passed through to its customers. The Systems has historically recorded revenue net of franchise fees charged to its customers. Staff announcement D-103, issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board staff in November 2001, specifies that reimbursements received from a customer should be reflected as revenues and not as a reduction of expenses. This staff announcement applies to financial reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2001. Upon application of this staff announcement, comparative financial statements for prior periods are required to be reclassified to comply with the guidance in this staff announcement. Consequently, the System has reclassified the amounts in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations to reflect franchise fees on a gross basis for all periods presented with reimbursements as revenue and payments as expense. The effect on the prior period statement of operations was to increase both revenue and selling, general and administrative costs by $379,000 and $759,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001.
 
In addition, certain other prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

Operating Cash Flow (“OCF”) represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and other income and expense. The company believes that OCF is commonly used in the cable television industry to analyze and compare cable television companies on the basis of operating performance, leverage and liquidity. However, OCF is not intended to be a performance measure that should be regarded as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, either operating income or net income as an indicator of operating performance or cash flows as a measure of liquidity, as determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Refer to our financial statements, including our statements of cash flows, which appear elsewhere in this report.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2002 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2001
 
Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2002 increased $1.3 million or 8.9% to $15.7 million up from $14.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001. For the three months ended June 30, 2002, customers served averaged approximately 87,700 compared to approximately 85,900 during the three months ended June 30, 2001. The increase in revenue was primarily attributable to gains in our high-speed data and digital services with revenue increases quarter over quarter of 90.5% and 40.9%, respectively.

RGUs (Revenue Generating Units) were approximately 131,100 as of June 30, 2002 compared to approximately 114,500 as of June 30, 2001. This represents an annual growth rate of 14.5%. RGUs represent the sum of basic and digital video, high-speed data and telephone customers.

20

Average monthly revenue per basic customer for the three months ended June 30, 2002 was $59.52 compared to $55.77 for the three months ended June 30, 2001. Average monthly revenue per basic customer for digital and high-speed data services was $12.99 for the three months ended June 30, 2002 compared to $7.94 for the three months ended June 30, 2001. As of June 30, 2002, there were approximately 27,100 digital customers compared to approximately 19,700 digital customers as of June 30, 2001, representing a penetration of 34.4% and 31.3%, respectively. As of June 30, 2002, there were approximately 15,900 high-speed data customers compared to approximately 9,000 high-speed data customers as of June 30, 2001, representing a penetration of 9.1% and 6.1%, respectively.
 
Programming and other operating costs decreased $154,000 or 2.8% to $5.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002 from $5.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001. The decrease was primarily attributable to decreases in costs related to digital and high-speed data services partially offset by increased programming rates associated with the Company’s classic service and an increase in property taxes.
 
Selling, general and administrative expenses remained relatively flat from the prior year quarter. The decrease of $58,000 or 1.8% to $3.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002 was primarily attributable to decreased corporate overhead expenses during the quarter.
 
Management fees are directly related to revenue as these fees are calculated as approximately 3% of gross revenues.
 
Depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended June 30, 2002 increased $934,000 or 31.2% to $3.9 million from $3.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001. This increase was primarily attributable to increased capital expenditures associated with the rebuild of plant and launch of new services.
 
OCF increased 27.9% to $6.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002 up from $5.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001. This increase was primarily due to the 8.9% increase in revenue and the slight decrease in programming and other operating costs.
 
Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2002 decreased $171,000 or 40.9% to $247,000 from $418,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2001. This decrease was attributable to lower interest rates.
 
For the three months ended June 30, 2002, the net income was $2.5 million.
 
Six Months Ended June 30, 2002 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2001
 
Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2002 increased $2.8 million or 10.2% to $30.7 million up from $27.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001. For the six months ended June 30, 2002, customers served averaged approximately 87,100 compared to approximately 85,700 during the six months ended June 30, 2001. The increase in revenue was primarily attributable to gains in our high-speed and digital services with revenue increases of 102.3% and 37.5%, respectively.

Programming and other operating costs increased $429,000 or 4.0% to $11.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 up from $10.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001. The increase was primarily attributable to increased programming rates associated with the Company’s classic service and an increase in property taxes offset by decreases in costs related to providing high-speed data services.
 
Selling, general and administrative expenses remained relatively flat from the prior year. The increase of $30,000 or 0.5% to $6.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 was primarily attributable to increased payroll costs offset by a decrease in corporate overhead expenses during the period.
 
Management fees are directly related to revenue as these fees are calculated as approximately 3% of gross revenues.
 
Depreciation and amortization expense for the six months ended June 30, 2002 increased $1.9 million or 33.2% to $7.6 million from $5.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001. This increase was primarily attributable to increased capital expenditures associated with the rebuild of plant and launch of new services.
 
OCF increased 22.2% to $12.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 up from $10.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001. This increase was primarily due to the 10.2% increase in revenue.
 
Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2002 decreased $462,000 or 50.2% to $458,000 from $920,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2001. This decrease was primarily attributable to lower interest rates.
 
For the six months ended June 30, 2002, the net income was $4.6 million.

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 $8.2 million and $13.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002. These expenditures were primarily for the upgrade of the System and plant expansions. Capital expenditures were financed by cash flows from operations and capital contributions.
 
Cash provided by operations for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 was $11.0 million and $12.8 million, respectively. The decrease was primarily attributable to the timing of cash receipts and payments related to working capital accounts.
 
Cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 was $13.1 million and $12.7 million, respectively, reflecting capital expenditures to upgrade the System and build plant expansions.
 
Cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2002 was $3.0 million. This was comprised of capital contributions from Insight Midwest of $10.0 million offset by distributions on preferred interests of $7.0 million. Cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2001 was $1.4 million consisting of capital contributions of $8.4 million, less distributions on preferred interests of $7.0 million.
 
The Senior Credit Facility contains covenants restricting, among other things, the Company’s ability to make capital expenditures, acquire or dispose of assets, make investments and engage in transactions with related parties. The facility also requires compliance with certain financial ratios and contains customary events of default. Given current operating conditions and projected results of operations, we anticipate full compliance with this credit facility agreement for the foreseeable future.

(4)
 
Line extensions consist primarily of costs associated with entering new service areas including costs of fiber, coaxial cable, amplifiers and electronic equipment.
 
 
(5)
 
Maintenance consists primarily of costs of buildings, building improvements, computer and office equipment, vehicles, tools and other equipment.
 
 
(6)
 
Capitalized labor and overhead consists primarily of internal payroll and overhead costs capitalized based on the percentage of time technical employees work directly on capital projects including construction, rebuilds and new customer connections.

The allocation of capitalized labor to the capital expenditure categories in the above table is based on the composite percentage of time incurred on such respective categories.
 
Due to the increased capital expenditures, management determined that cash flows from operations will 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, 2002.

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
 
The Companies 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 them to market risk, interest rate, foreign currency exchange, commodity price or equity price risk. The Companies have not entered into forward or future contracts, purchased options or entered into swap agreements.
 
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 projected annual interest expense by $250,000. The Senior Notes issued by Coaxial Inc. and Phoenix bear 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 June 30, 2002 was $125.7 million and $140.0 million, respectively.
