Item 5.  Other Events.


In connection with the closing of the April 14, 2000 credit facility, Adelphia
contributed cable systems serving approximately 460,000 subscribers to Arahova
(the "April 2000 Contribution"). Arahova recorded the contribution of these
cable systems and related assets and liabilities at historical cost.

On January 3, 2001, Arahova and certain subsidiaries of Adelphia closed on a
short term secured revolving credit facility. In connection with the closing of
the January 3, 2001 credit facility, Adelphia contributed cable systems serving
approximately 352,000 subscribers to Arahova (the "January 2001 Contribution"),
of which approximately 131,000 subscribers were acquired by Adelphia in the
January 1, 2001 Comcast cable systems exchange. Arahova recorded the
contribution of these cable systems and related assets and liabilities at
historical cost.

Subsequent to the issuance of Arahova's December 31, 2000 consolidated financial
statements, management determined that because the cable systems contributed
constituted businesses contained within separate legal entities, the April 2000
Contribution and the January 2001 Contribution should be reported in the
consolidated financial statements as a change in reporting entity. As a result,
the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31,
2000 and as of and for the three months ended December 31, 1999 have been
restated to reflect the April 2000 Contribution and recast to reflect the
January 2001 Contribution for periods that the contributed systems and Arahova
were under the common control of Adelphia.

The Company is filing herewith a revised Item 8 of Part II of the December 31,
2000 Form 10-K and will also be filing an amended Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
for the quarter ended March 31, 2001. A copy of the revised Item 8 of Part II of
the December 31, 2000 Form 10-K is incorporated by reference herein, and
attached to this Form 8-K and filed herewith under Item 7 as Exhibit 99.01.
