                               PART III NARRATIVE

         State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Form 10-K, 20-F, 11-K,
10-Q and N-SAR or the transition report or portion thereof could not be filed
within the prescribed period.

         In connection with the preparation of the Registrant's financial
statements for the year ended December 31, 2001, the Registrant is reviewing
certain accounting matters relating to co-borrowing credit facilities which the
Registrant is party to. This review could not be completed in sufficient time
for the Registrant to complete its financial statements, receive its independent
auditors' report thereon, and file the Form 10-K within the prescribed time
period without unreasonable effort or expense.




                            PART IV OTHER INFORMATION

(1)      Name and telephone number of person to contact in regard to this
         notification.

                  Timothy J. Rigas, Chief Financial Officer (814) 274-9830

(2)      Have all other periodic reports required under section 13 or 15(d) of
         the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment
         Company Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter
         period that the registrant was required to file such report(s) been
         filed? If the answer is no, identify report(s).

                              X Yes  __ No

(3)      Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations
         from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be
         reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject
         report or portion thereof?

                              X Yes  __ No

         If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both
narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a
reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.

         The Registrant's financial results for the fiscal year ended December
31, 2001 are anticipated to improve on a basis comparable to the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2000. The Registrant currently estimates that net loss will
decrease from approximately $88,315,000 to approximately $11,528,000 for the
fiscal years ended December 31, 2000 and 2001, respectively. The improvement in
the financial performance of the Registrant is primarily due to an approximate
$217,000,000 gain on a cable systems exchange offset by the net effects of
increases in revenues and operating expenses due to the marketing of new
services, subscriber growth, and acquisitions.
