This Annual Report on Form 10-K is for the year ended December 31, 2003.
This Annual Report modifies and supersedes documents filed prior to the filing
of this Annual Report. The Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") allows
us to "incorporate by reference" information that we file with them, which means
that we can disclose important information to limited partners by referring them
directly to those documents. Information incorporated by reference is considered
to be part of this Annual Report. In addition, information that we file with the
SEC in the future will automatically update and supersede information contained
in this Annual Report. Certain information contained in this Annual Report
contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements, other than statements
of historical facts, included in this Annual Report that address activities,
events or developments that we or the General Partner expects, believes or
anticipates will or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements.
These forward-looking statements are based upon certain assumptions and are
subject to risks and uncertainties. Actual events or results may differ from
those discussed in the forward-looking statements as a result of various
factors.
PART I
ITEM 1 BUSINESS
GENERAL DEVELOPMENT OF BUSINESS
American Cable TV Investors 5, Ltd. ("ACT 5" or the "Partnership") is a
Colorado limited partnership that was formed in December of 1986 for the purpose
of acquiring, developing and operating cable television systems. The
Partnership's general partner is IR-TCI Partners V, L.P. ("IR-TCI" or the
"General Partner"), a Colorado limited partnership. The general partner of
IR-TCI is TCI Ventures Five, Inc. ("TCIV 5"), a subsidiary of TCI Cablevision
Associates, Inc. ("Cablevision"). Cablevision is an indirect subsidiary of
Comcast Cable Holdings, LLC (formerly AT&T Broadband, LLC) ("Comcast Cable
Holdings"), and is the managing agent of the Partnership. Comcast Cable Holdings
is an indirect subsidiary of Comcast Corporation ("Comcast").
In its public offering that was conducted from May of 1987 to February of
1989, the Partnership sold 200,005 limited partnership units at a price of $500
per unit ("Unit").
On December 7, 1999, the Partnership consummated the sale of its remaining
cable television system serving subscribers located in and around Riverside,
California (the "Riverside System") to Century Exchange LLC ("Century"), a
subsidiary of Adelphia Communications Corporation, for an adjusted sales price
of $33,399,000 (the "Riverside Sale"). The Riverside Sale was approved by the
Limited Partners at a special meeting that occurred on December 11, 1998. In
connection with the Riverside Sale, Century and the Partnership waived the
condition to closing that all required consents be obtained prior to closing the
Riverside Sale, as such condition related to the transfer to Century of the
franchise agreement between the Partnership and the City of Moreno Valley. The
franchise agreement authorizes the Partnership to provide cable television
service to subscribers located in and around Moreno Valley, California (the
"Moreno Franchise Agreement"). Accordingly, all of the Riverside System's cable
television assets other than the Moreno Franchise Agreement were transferred to
Century on December 7, 1999. In connection with the Riverside Sale, the
Partnership entered into a management agreement with Century pursuant to which
Century would be entitled to all net cash flows generated by the portion of the
Riverside System that was subject to the Moreno Franchise Agreement until such
time as the City of Moreno Valley approved the transfer of the Moreno Franchise
Agreement from the Partnership to Century. On December 18, 2001, the City of
Moreno Valley approved the transfer of the Moreno Valley Franchise Agreement to
Century. The settlement and transfer required a payment of $500,000 from Century
to the City of Moreno Valley and releases the Partnership from any liability.
On December 7, 1999, Comcast Cable Holdings and Century contributed cable
television systems to a joint venture (the "Joint Venture") that combined
multiple cable television systems in Southern California. The Riverside System
was among those systems that was contributed to the Joint Venture by Century.
Comcast Cable Holdings has an approximate 25% interest in the Joint Venture,
which is managed by Century. Comcast Cable Holdings, through certain of its
subsidiaries, owns a 100% ownership interest in IR-TCI.
As a result of the Riverside Sale, the Partnership is no longer actively
engaged in the cable television business. A final determination of the
Partnership's liabilities and any liquidating distributions cannot be made in
connection with the Partnership's dissolution until the contingencies described
in note 5 to the accompanying financial statements are resolved. See
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations -- Liquidity and Capital Resources."

ITEM 3 LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
City Partnership Co. on behalf of itself and all others similarly situated
and derivatively on behalf of American Cable TV Investors 5, Ltd. ("ACT 5"), a
Colorado limited partnership, plaintiff v. IR-TCI Partners V, L.P., TCI Ventures
Five, Inc., Tele-Communications, Inc., Lehman Brothers, Inc. and Jack Langer,
Defendants, and American Cable TV Investors 5, Ltd., a Colorado limited
partnership, nominal defendants: On November 2, 1999 this action was filed in
the United States District Court for the District of Colorado, Civil Action No.
99-N-2122. The Partnership was served in this action on December 6, 1999. This
purported class action and derivative action asserts claims against the Company
for violations of Sections 14(a) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 and breach of fiduciary duty in connection with the sale of the Riverside
System to Century Exchange LLC. Also, named as a defendant is Lehman Brothers,
Inc. ("Lehman") which provided to ACT 5 a fairness opinion relative to the
Riverside Sale. On February 10, 2000, the Defendants filed motions to dismiss
Plaintiff's complaint. On September 29, 2000, the Court dismissed the
Plaintiff's complaint for failing to plead the Federal Securities Act claim
properly. On October 13, 2000, the Plaintiff served an amended complaint to the
Defendants and on November 13, 2000, Defendants filed motions to dismiss the
amended complaint. On May 18, 2001, the Court denied the Defendant's motion to
dismiss the complaint. Based upon the limited facts available, management
believes that, although no assurance can be given as to the outcome of this
action, the ultimate disposition should not have a material adverse effect upon
the financial condition of the Partnership.
Section 21 of the Partnership Agreement provides that the General Partner
and its affiliates, subject to certain conditions set forth in more detail in
the Partnership Agreement, are entitled to be indemnified for any liability or
loss incurred by them by reason of any act performed or omitted to be performed
by them in connection with the business of ACT 5, provided that the General
Partner determines, in good faith, that such course of conduct was in the best
interests of ACT 5 and did not constitute proven fraud, negligence, breach of
fiduciary duty or misconduct. The engagement agreement between ACT 5 and Lehman
provides that, subject to certain conditions set forth in more detail in the
engagement agreement, Lehman is entitled to be indemnified for any liability or
loss, and to be reimbursed by ACT 5 for legal expenses incurred as a result of
its rendering of services in connection with the fairness opinion. The General
Partner and its affiliates and Lehman each have submitted a demand for
indemnification. Consequently, legal fees of $130,000, $1,131,000 and $402,000
for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively, incurred by
the defendants with respect to the above lawsuit have been reflected in
"Selling, General and Administrative Expenses" in the accompanying statements of
operations.
On August 1, 2002, the plaintiff in the above lawsuit filed a motion to bar
defendants from recovering indemnification of attorneys' fees and costs during
the pendency of the lawsuit. On September 16, 2002, plaintiff and the General
Partner, Ventures Five, and Comcast (the "TCI Defendants") filed with the court
a stipulation by which the TCI Defendants agreed that ACT 5 would not reimburse
Comcast for legal fees or expenses of the TCI Defendants unless, at the
conclusion of the case, the court authorizes the indemnification payment. The
plaintiff withdrew its motion without prejudice.
On January 31, 2003, the court denied plaintiff's motion seeking to bar
Lehman from recovering indemnification of attorney's fees and costs during the
pendency of this lawsuit. As a result, Lehman is entitled to indemnification
pursuant to the terms of its engagement agreement and Comcast is entitled to
reimbursement by ACT 5 for such indemnification payments made to Lehman. In
December 2003, ACT 5 made this reimbursement payment to Comcast for
approximately $712,000.
On December 17, 2003, the Court denied Plantiff's and the TCI Defendants'
cross motions for summary judgment, except that the Court granted a component of
the TCI Defendants' motion when it ruled that Plaintiff cannot maintain a claim
under section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 based on events
occurring after the ACT 5 limited partners' December 1998 proxy vote approving
the sale of the Riverside cable television system to Century. The Court also
denied the Plaintiff's and Defendant's respective motions in limine to preclude
certain expert testimony at trial. Additionally, the Court granted in part
Lehman's motion for summary judgement, determining that Lehman cannot be held
liable for events occurring after the December 1998 proxy vote.
On December 19, 2003, the Court granted in part Plaintiff's motion for
class certification, narrowing the time period of the class to those persons
(excluding defendants) who were limited partners of ACT 5 from November 6, 1998
(the date of the Proxy Statement)
2
through December 11, 1998 (the date of the special meeting of limited partners
when the proxy vote occurred) relative to Plaintiff's prosecution of its claim
for violation of ss. 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
Although no assurance can be given as to the outcome of the indemnification
matters, based on information currently available to management, ACT 5 believes
that the defendants are entitled to indemnification pursuant to the terms of the
Partnership Agreement. Accordingly, management of ACT 5 intends to continue to
reflect covered expenses in "General and Administrative Expenses". From the
inception of the lawsuit through December 31, 2003, claims for indemnification
have been submitted to ACT 5 totaling approximately $2.2 million. Such amounts
are reflected in amounts due to related parties, net of reimbursements, in the
accompanying balance sheet at December 31, 2003.
ITEM 4 SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
None.
PART II
ITEM 5 MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER
MATTERS
In its public offering that was conducted from May 1987 to February 1989,
the Partnership sold 200,005 Units to the public at a price of $500 per Unit. At
December 31, 2003, there were approximately 11,217 Unit holders.
Although the Units are freely transferable, no public trading market for
the Units exists. To the extent that an informal or secondary market exists, the
Limited Partners may only be able to sell Units at a substantial discount from
the Units' proportionate share of the estimated market value of the underlying
net assets of the Partnership.

ITEM 7 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
The Partnership has sold substantially all of its cable television assets.
As a result, the Partnership is no longer actively engaged in the cable
television business. A final determination of the Partnership's liabilities and
any liquidating distributions cannot be made in connection with the
Partnership's dissolution until the contingencies described in note 5 to the
accompanying financial statements are resolved. See "Liquidity and Capital
Resources."
Results of Operations
Pending the resolution of the contingencies described in note 5 to the
accompanying financial statements, the Partnership will seek to make a final
determination of its liabilities so that liquidating distributions can be made
in connection with its dissolution. Accordingly, the Partnership's results of
operations for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 are primarily
comprised of general and administrative ("G&A") expenses and interest income.
The Partnership's G&A expenses are primarily comprised of costs associated with
the administration of the Partnership. The Partnership's G&A expenses decreased
$1,198,000 during the year ended December 31, 2003, as compared to the
corresponding prior year period. Such decrease is primarily due to a reduction
in legal activity and related fees pending the 2004 trial date.
Interest income relates to interest earned on the Partnership's cash and
cash equivalents. Interest income decreased $63,000 and $221,000 during the
years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, as compared to the corresponding prior
year periods. Such decrease in 2003 and in 2002 is due to a decline in interest
rates during the year.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At December 31, 2003, the Partnership held cash and cash equivalents of
$9,184,000. The Partnership anticipates that it will make liquidating
distributions in connection with its dissolution as soon as possible following
the final determination and satisfaction of the Partnership's liabilities. See
Note 5 to the accompanying financial statements.
Pursuant to the asset purchase agreement for the sale of the Southern
Tennessee System, $494,000 of the sales price for the Southern Tennessee System
was placed in escrow (the "Southern Tennessee Escrow") and was subject to
indemnifiable claims for up to one year following consummation of the sale of
the Southern Tennessee System. Prior to its release, Rifkin Acquisition
Partners, L.L.L.P. ("Rifkin"), the buyer of the Southern Tennessee System, filed
a claim against the Southern Tennessee Escrow. Rifkin's claim related to a class
action lawsuit filed by a customer challenging late fee charges with respect to
the Southern Tennessee System. On September 14, 1999, Rifkin sold the Southern
Tennessee System to an affiliate of Charter Communications, Inc. ("Charter"). In
connection with such sale, Charter was assigned the rights to the
indemnification claim. The above described class action lawsuit has been settled
and dismissed. The amount of the Southern Tennessee Escrow due to Charter as a
result of the terms of the settlement agreement has not yet been determined.
Upon determination of amounts due Charter, the remaining funds in the Southern
Tennessee Escrow will be released to ACT 5.
Section 21 of the Partnership Agreement provides that the General Partner
and its affiliates, subject to certain conditions set forth in more detail in
the Partnership Agreement, are entitled to be indemnified for any liability or
loss incurred by them by reason of any act performed or omitted to be performed
by them in connection with the business of ACT 5, provided that the General
Partner determines, in good faith, that such course of conduct was in the best
interests of ACT 5 and did not constitute proven fraud, negligence, breach of
fiduciary duty or misconduct. In this regard, it is anticipated that legal fees
incurred by the defendants with respect to the contingencies described in Note 5
will be paid by ACT 5. As of December 31, 2003, the partnership has recognized
an amount payable to the General Partner of approximately $1,772,000 to cover
out of pocket costs incurred to defend this lawsuit.
The claim against the Southern Tennessee Escrow and the above described
lawsuit have had and will continue to have the effect of delaying any final
liquidating distributions of the Partnership.
At December 31, 2003, the Partnership had $440,000 of unclaimed
distribution checks payable to certain Limited Partners which were written on a
bank account that has been closed. Such checks will either be reissued to such
Limited Partners or released to the respective state of such Limited Partners'
last known residence upon dissolution of the Partnership.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Allocation of Net Earnings and Net Losses
Net earnings and net losses are allocated 99% to ACT 5's limited partners
("Limited Partners") and 1% to the General Partner and distributions of
Cash from Operations, Sales or Refinancings (all as defined in the
Partnership's limited partnership agreement) are distributed 99% to the
Limited Partners and 1% to the General Partner until cumulative
distributions to the Limited Partners equal the Limited Partners' aggregate
contributions ("Payback"), plus 6% per annum. After the Limited Partners
have received distributions equal to Payback plus 6% per annum, the
allocations of net earnings, net losses and credits, and distributions of
Cash from Operations, Sales or Refinancings shall be 25% to the General
Partner and 75% to the Limited Partners. Although ACT 5's distributions of
proceeds from the sales of its cable television systems allowed Limited
Partners to achieve Payback, distributions did not allow Limited Partners
to achieve a 6% return on their aggregate contributions; therefore, amounts
will continue to be allocated 99% to the Limited Partners and 1% to the
General Partner.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of investments which are readily
convertible into cash and have maturities of three months or less at the
time of acquisition.
At December 31, 2003 and 2002, $8,810,000 and $9,419,000 of the
Partnership's cash and cash equivalents were invested in money market
funds, respectively. The Partnership is exposed to credit loss in the event
of non-performance by the other parties to such financial instruments.
However, the Partnership does not anticipate non-performance by the other
parties.
Net Earnings (Loss) Per Unit
Net earnings (loss) per Unit is calculated by dividing net earnings (loss)
attributable to the Limited Partners by the number of Units outstanding
during the period. The number of Units outstanding for each of the years in
the three-year period ended December 31, 2003 was 200,005.
Income Taxes
No provision has been made for income tax expense or benefit in the
accompanying financial statements as the earnings or losses of the
Partnership are reported in the respective income tax returns of the
partners.
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements
and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior years' financial

3. ASSET SALES
On December 7, 1999, the Partnership consummated the sale of its remaining
cable television system serving subscribers located in and around
Riverside, California (the "Riverside System") to Century Exchange LLC
("Century"), a subsidiary of Adelphia Communications Corporation, for an
adjusted sale price of $33,399,000 (the "Riverside Sale"). The Riverside
Sale was approved by the Limited Partners at a special meeting that
occurred on December 11, 1998. In accordance with the terms of the asset
purchase agreement relating to the Riverside Sale, $1,500,000 of the sales
price was placed in escrow for 180 days in order to satisfy any
indemnifiable claims which could be made by Century. On June 5, 2000, the
funds held in escrow were released to ACT 5. ACT 5 received interest of
$39,000 in conjunction with the release of the funds held in escrow. In
connection with the Riverside Sale, Century and the Partnership waived the
condition to closing that all required consents be obtained prior to
closing the Riverside Sale, as such condition related to the transfer to
Century of the franchise agreement between the Partnership and the City of
Moreno Valley. The franchise agreement authorizes the Partnership to
provide cable television service to subscribers located in and around
Moreno Valley, California (the "Moreno Franchise Agreement"). Accordingly,
all of the Riverside System's cable television assets other than the Moreno
Franchise Agreement were transferred to Century on December 7, 1999. In
connection with the Riverside Sale, the Partnership entered into a
management agreement with Century pursuant to which Century would be
entitled to all net cash flows generated by the portion of the Riverside
System that was subject to the Moreno Franchise Agreement until such time
as the City of Moreno Valley approved the transfer of the Moreno Franchise
Agreement from the Partnership to Century. On February 13, 2001, the City
of Moreno Valley passed a resolution indicating that the Partnership, by
entering into the management agreement, in effect, transferred the
franchise without city approval, thereby causing a material default under
the franchise agreement. On December 18, 2001, the City of Moreno Valley
approved the transfer of the Moreno Valley Franchise Agreement to Century.
The settlement and transfer required a payment of $500,000 from Century and
releases the Partnership from any liability.
As a result of the Riverside Sale, the Partnership is no longer actively
engaged in the cable television business. A final determination of the
Partnership's liabilities and any liquidating distributions cannot be made
in connection with the Partnership's dissolution until the contingencies
described in note 5 are resolved.
4. TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES
The Partnership has a management agreement with an affiliate of Comcast
Cable Holdings whereby this affiliate is responsible for performing all
services necessary for the management of the Partnership. The Partnership
is charged a management fee related to these services. During the years
ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, general and administrative expenses
in the Partnership's statement of operations includes $36,000, $36,000 and
$36,000, respectively, related to this agreement.
Amounts due to related parties, which represent non-interest-bearing
payables to Comcast Cable Holdings and its affiliates, consist of the net
effect of cash advances and certain intercompany expense charges.
5. CONTINGENCIES
On November 2, 1999, a limited partner of ACT 5 filed suit in United States
District Court for the District of Colorado against the General Partner of
ACT 5. The lawsuit also names certain affiliates of the General Partner as
defendants. The lawsuit alleges that the defendants violated disclosure
requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 in connection with
soliciting limited partner approval of the sale of the Partnership's cable
television

system located in and around Riverside, California (the "Riverside Sale")
and that certain defendants breached their fiduciary duty in connection
with the Riverside Sale. Also named as a defendant is Lehman Brothers Inc.
("Lehman"), which provided to ACT 5 a fairness opinion relative to the
Riverside Sale. On May 18, 2001, the Court denied the Defendants' motion to
dismiss the complaint. Based upon the limited facts available, management
believes that, although no assurance can be given as to the outcome of this
action, the ultimate disposition should not have a material adverse effect
upon the financial condition of the Partnership.
Section 21 of the Partnership Agreement provides that the General Partner
and its affiliates, subject to certain conditions set forth in more detail
in the Partnership Agreement, are entitled to be indemnified for any
liability or loss incurred by them by reason of any act performed or
omitted to be performed by them in connection with the business of ACT 5,
provided that the General Partner determines, in good faith, that such
course of conduct was in the best interests of ACT 5 and did not constitute
proven fraud, negligence, breach of fiduciary duty or misconduct. The
engagement agreement between ACT 5 and Lehman provides that, subject to
certain conditions set forth in more detail in the engagement agreement,
Lehman is entitled to be indemnified for any liability or loss, and to be
reimbursed by ACT 5 for legal expenses incurred as a result of its
rendering of services in connection with the fairness opinion. The General
Partner and its affiliates and Lehman each have submitted a demand for
indemnification. Consequently, legal fees incurred by the defendants with
respect to the above lawsuit have been reflected in general and
administrative expenses in the accompanying statements of operations in the
period that such legal fees were incurred by the defendants. For the years
ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, legal fees related to the above
lawsuit of $130,000, $1,131,000 and $402,000, respectively, have been
included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying
statements of operations.
On August 1, 2002, the plaintiff in the above lawsuit filed a motion to bar
defendants from recovering indemnification for attorneys' fees and costs
during the pendency of the lawsuit. On September 16, 2002, plaintiff and
the General Partner, Ventures Five, and Comcast (the "TCI Defendants")
filed with the court a stipulation by which the TCI Defendants agreed that
ACT 5 would not reimburse Comcast for legal fees or expenses of the TCI
Defendants unless, at the conclusion of the case, the court authorizes the
indemnification payment. The plaintiff withdrew its motion without
prejudice.
On January 31, 2003, the court denied plaintiff's motion seeking to bar
Lehman from recovering indemnification of attorney's fees and costs during
the pendency of this lawsuit. As a result, Lehman is entitled to
indemnification pursuant to the terms of its engagement agreement and
Comcast is entitled to reimbursement by ACT 5 for such indemnification
payments made to Lehman. In December 2003, ACT 5 made this reimbursement
payment to Comcast for approximately $712,000.
On December 17, 2003, the Court denied Plantiff's and the TCI Defendants'
cross motions for summary judgment, except that the Court granted a
component of the TCI Defendants' motion when it ruled that Plaintiff cannot
maintain a claim under section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
based on events occurring after the ACT 5 limited partners' December 1998
proxy vote approving the sale of the Riverside cable television system to
Century. The Court also denied the Plaintiff's and Defendant's respective
motions in limine to preclude certain expert testimony at trial.
Additionally, the Court granted in part Lehman's motion for summary
judgement, determining that Lehman cannot be held liable for events
occurring after the December 1998 proxy vote.
On December 19, 2003, the Court granted in part Plaintiff's motion for
class certification, narrowing the time period of the class to those
persons (excluding defendants) who were limited partners of ACT 5 from
November 6, 1998 (the date of the Proxy Statement) through December 11,
1998 (the date of the special meeting of limited partners when the proxy
vote occurred) relative to Plaintiff's prosecution of its claim for
violation of ss. 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2003, 2002 AND 2001 (Concluded)
Although no assurance can be given as to the outcome of the remaining
indemnification matters, based on information currently available to
management, ACT 5 believes that the TCI Defendants are entitled to
indemnification pursuant to the terms of the Partnership Agreement.
Accordingly, management of ACT 5 intends to continue to reflect covered
expenses in general and administrative expenses. From the inception of the
lawsuit through December 31, 2003, claims for indemnification have been
submitted to ACT 5 totaling approximately $2.2 million. Such amounts are
reflected in amounts due to related parties, net of reimbursements, in the
accompanying balance sheet at December 31, 2003.
On April 1, 1997, the Partnership sold its cable television system located
in and around Shelbyville and Manchester, Tennessee (the "Southern
Tennessee System") to Rifkin Acquisition Partners, L.L.L.P. ("Rifkin").
Pursuant to the asset purchase agreement, $494,000 of the sales price was
placed in escrow (the "Southern Tennessee Escrow") and was subject to
indemnifiable claims by Rifkin through March 31, 1998. Prior to March 31,
1998, Rifkin filed a claim against the Southern Tennessee Escrow relating
to a class action lawsuit filed by a customer challenging late fee charges
with respect to the Southern Tennessee System. On September 14, 1999,
Rifkin sold the Southern Tennessee System to an affiliate of Charter
Communications, Inc. ("Charter"). In connection with such sale, Charter was
assigned the rights of the indemnification claim. The class action lawsuit
has been settled and dismissed. The amount of the Southern Tennessee Escrow
due Charter as a result of terms of the settlement agreement has not yet
been determined. Upon determination of amounts due Charter, the remaining
funds in the Southern Tennessee Escrow will be released to ACT 5.
The claim against the Southern Tennessee Escrow and the lawsuit described
above have had and will continue to have the effect of delaying any final
liquidating distributions of the Partnership.
