1.       INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

         The accompanying condensed interim financial statements for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 are unaudited. These condensed
interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited
financial statements and notes thereto included in the Partnership's latest
Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, such statements
reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments)
necessary for a fair presentation of the results of such periods. The results of
operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1998 are not
necessarily indicative of results for the entire year.

2.       TRANSACTIONS WITH THE GENERAL PARTNERS AND AFFILIATES

         The Partnership has a management and service agreement with a wholly
owned subsidiary of the Corporate General Partner (the "Manager") for a monthly
management fee of 5% of revenues, excluding revenues from the sale of cable
television systems or franchises. Management fee expense approximated $44,800
and $136,800 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1998.

         In addition to the monthly management fee described above, the
Partnership reimburses the Manager for direct expenses incurred on behalf of the
Partnership and for the Partnership's allocable share of operational costs
associated with services provided by the Manager. All cable television
properties managed by the Corporate General Partner and its subsidiary are
charged a proportionate share of these expenses. The Corporate General Partner
has contracted with Falcon Communications, L.P. ("FCLP"), successor to Falcon
Holding Group, L.P. ("FHGLP"), an affiliated partnership, to provide corporate
management services for the Partnership. Corporate office allocations and
district office expenses are charged to the properties served based primarily on
the respective percentage of basic subscribers or homes passed (dwelling units
within a system) within the designated service areas. The total amount charged
to the Partnership for these services approximated $86,500 and $257,100 for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 1998. Management fees and reimbursed
expenses due the Corporate General Partner are non-interest bearing.

         On September 30, 1997, the Corporate General Partner contributed a
$269,300 receivable balance from the Partnership for past due management fees
and reimbursed expenses as an equity contribution to its subsidiary, Enstar
Finance Company, LLC ("EFC"). This balance remains an outstanding obligation of
the Partnership. In the normal course of business, the Partnership pays interest
and principal to EFC, its primary lender.

         The Partnership also receives certain system operating management
services from an affiliate of the Corporate General Partner in addition to the
Manager due to the fact that there are no such employees directly employed by
the Partnership. The Partnership reimburses the affiliate for its allocable
share of the affiliate's operational costs. The total amount charged to the
Partnership for these costs approximated $3,700 and $11,200 for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 1998. No management fee is payable to the
affiliate by the Partnership and there is no duplication of reimbursed expenses
and costs paid to the Manager.

2.       TRANSACTIONS WITH THE GENERAL PARTNERS AND AFFILIATES (CONTINUED)

         Certain programming services have been purchased through an affiliate
of the Partnership. In turn, the affiliate charged the Partnership for these
costs based on an estimate of what the Corporate General Partner could negotiate
for such programming services for the 15 partnerships managed by the Corporate
General Partner as a group. The Partnership recorded programming fee expense of
$200,900 and $597,500 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1998.
Programming fees are included in service costs in the statements of operations.
In the future, programming services will be purchased through another source,
which may include FHGLP or an affiliate of FHGLP. Programming rates may vary in
the near term as a result of the change.

3.       EARNINGS PER UNIT OF LIMITED PARTNERSHIP INTEREST

         Earnings and losses per unit of limited partnership interest is based
on the average number of units outstanding during the periods presented. For
this purpose, earnings and losses have been allocated 99% to the Limited
Partners and 1% to the General Partners. The General Partners do not own units
of partnership interest in the Partnership, but rather hold a participation
interest in the income, losses and distributions of the Partnership.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND 
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

INTRODUCTION

         The Cable Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992
(the "1992 Cable Act") required the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC")
to, among other things, implement extensive regulation of the rates charged by
cable television systems for basic and programming service tiers, installation,
and customer premises equipment leasing. Compliance with those rate regulations
has had a negative impact on the Partnership's revenues and cash flow. The
Telecommunications Act of 1996 (the "1996 Telecom Act") substantially changed
the competitive and regulatory environment for cable television and
telecommunications service providers. Among other changes, the 1996 Telecom Act
provides that the regulation of cable programming service tier ("CPST") rates
will be terminated on March 31, 1999. Because cable service rate increases have
continued to outpace inflation under the FCC's existing regulations, it is
possible that Congress and the FCC will consider additional methods of
regulating cable service rate increases, including deferral or repeal of the
March 31, 1999 termination of CPST rate regulation. There can be no assurance as
to what, if any, further action may be taken by the FCC, Congress or any other
regulatory authority or court, or the effect thereof on the Partnership's
business. Accordingly, the Partnership's historical financial results as
described below are not necessarily indicative of future performance.

         This Report includes certain forward looking statements regarding,
among other things, future results of operations, regulatory requirements,
competition, capital needs and general business conditions applicable to the
Partnership. Such forward looking statements involve risks and uncertainties
including, without limitation, the uncertainty of legislative and regulatory
changes and the rapid developments in the competitive environment facing cable
television operators such as the Partnership. In addition to the information
provided herein, reference is made to the Partnership's Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997 for additional information regarding
such matters and the effect thereof on the Partnership's business.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         The Partnership's revenues decreased from $913,800 to $896,000, or by
2.0%, and increased from $2,720,500 to $2,736,400, or by less than 1.0%, for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 1998 as compared to the corresponding
periods in 1997. Of the $17,800 decrease in revenues for the three months ended
September 30, 1998 as compared to the corresponding period in 1997, $38,000 was
due to decreases in the number of subscriptions for basic, premium and equipment
rental services and $8,500 was due to decreases in other revenue producing
items. These decreases were partially offset by an increase of $28,700 due to
increases in regulated service rates that were implemented by the Partnership in
1997. Of the $15,900 increase in revenues for the nine months ended September
30, 1998 as compared to the corresponding period in 1997, $97,600 was due to
increases in regulated service rates that were implemented by the Partnership in
1997. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $79,400 due to
decreases in the number of subscriptions for basic, premium and equipment rental
services and $2,300 was due to decreases in other revenue producing items. As of
September 30, 1998, the Partnership had approximately 9,100 basic subscribers
and 2,100 premium service units.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

         Service costs decreased from $328,800 to $262,800, or by 20.1%, and 
from $933,300 to $861,500, or 7.7%, for the three and nine months ended 
September 30, 1998 as compared to the corresponding periods in 1997. Service 
costs represent costs directly attributable to providing cable services to 
customers. These decreases were primarily due to 1997 copyright fee expense 
estimates that were reduced in 1998. Copyright fees also decreased due to the 
industry-wide change in status of one satellite service that resulted in 
lower fees.

         General and administrative expenses decreased from $153,200 to
$105,000, or by 31.5%, and from $385,600 to $321,400, or by 16.6%, for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 1998 as compared to the corresponding
periods in 1997. These decreases were primarily due to lower bad debt expense
and insurance costs resulting from a non-recurring charge in the second quarter
of 1997 for a workers' compensation premium adjustment.

         Management fees and reimbursed expenses increased from $129,100 to
$131,300, or by 1.7%, and from $384,200 to $393,900, or by 2.5%, for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 1998 as compared to the corresponding
periods in 1997. Management fees decreased for the three months and increased
for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 in direct relation to the changes
in revenues as described above. Reimbursed expenses increased primarily due to
the transfer of system operating management of the Partnership's Tennessee
system from an affiliate to the Corporate General Partner.

         Depreciation and amortization expense decreased from $212,300 to
$208,000, or by 2.0%, and from $679,800 to $626,200, or by 7.9%, for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 1998 as compared to the corresponding
periods in 1997, primarily due to the effect of certain intangible assets
becoming fully amortized.

         The Partnership's operating income increased from $90,400 to $188,900
and from $337,600 to $533,400 for the three and nine months ended September 30,
1998 as compared to the corresponding periods in 1997, primarily due to
decreases in copyright fee expense, depreciation and amortization expense and
insurance premiums as described above.

         Interest income increased from $6,000 to $7,100 and from $12,700 to
$25,500 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1998 as compared to
the corresponding periods in 1997, primarily due to higher average cash balances
available for investment during the 1998 periods.

         Interest expense decreased from $69,400 to $49,700, or by 28.4%, and
from $189,100 to $170,500, or by 9.8%, for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1998 as compared to the corresponding periods in 1997, due to
lower average borrowings in the 1998 periods.

         Due to the factors described above, the Partnership's net income
increased from $27,000 to $146,300 and from $161,300 to $388,600 for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 1998 as compared to the corresponding
periods in 1997.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

         Based on its experience in the cable television industry, the
Partnership believes that operating income before depreciation and amortization
("EBITDA") and related measures of cash flow serve as important financial
analysis tools for measuring and comparing cable television companies in several
areas, such as liquidity, operating performance and leverage. EBITDA is not a
measurement determined under generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP")
and does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance
with GAAP. EBITDA should not be considered by the reader as an alternative to
net income as an indicator of financial performance or as an alternative to cash
flows as a measure of liquidity. In addition, the definition of EBITDA may not
be identical to similarly titled measures used by other companies. EBITDA as a
percentage of revenues increased from 33.1% to 44.3% and from 37.4% to 42.4%
during the three and nine months ended September 30, 1998 as compared to the
corresponding periods in 1997. The increases were primarily due to lower
copyright fee expense and insurance costs as described above. EBITDA increased
from $302,700 to $396,900, or by 31.1%, and from $1,017,400 to $1,159,600, or by
14.0%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1998 as compared to the
corresponding periods in 1997.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         The Partnership's primary objective, having invested its net offering
proceeds in cable systems, is to distribute to its partners all available cash
flow from operations and proceeds from the sale of cable systems, if any, after
providing for expenses, debt service and capital requirements relating to the
expansion, improvement and upgrade of its cable systems. The Partnership's
capital expenditures were $128,000 in the first nine months of 1998. As of the
date of this Report, 94% of the available channel capacity is being utilized in
the Partnership's systems that serve 78% of its customers.

         Two of the Partnership's franchise areas, which together serve 63% of
the Partnership's total customer base, require upgrades to increase channel
capacity. One of the upgrades is required in an existing franchise agreement.
The estimated cost to upgrade the cable system in this franchise area is
approximately $2.5 million and must be completed by June 2000. The second
franchise agreement is under negotiation for renewal and the Partnership
believes that the renewed franchise agreement may require the Partnership to
upgrade its cable plant at an estimated cost of $1.1 million within 24 months.

         The Partnership is party to a loan agreement with EFC which provides
for a revolving loan facility of $4,563,000 (the "Facility"). The Partnership
prepaid $750,000 of its outstanding borrowings under the Facility during the
nine months ended September 30, 1998 and prepaid an additional $150,000 on
October 9, 1998, such that total outstanding borrowings were $1,600,000. The
Partnership's management expects to increase borrowings under the Facility in
the future to fund the upgrade of the Partnership's systems. However, the
Partnership's borrowing capacity and its present cash reserves will be
insufficient to fund its entire upgrade program. Consequently, the Partnership
will need to rely on increased cash flow from operations or new sources of
borrowing in order to meet its future liquidity requirements. There can be no
assurance that such cash flow increases can be attained, or that additional
future borrowings will be available to the Partnership on acceptable terms. If
the Partnership is not able to attain such cash flow increases, or obtain new
sources of borrowings, the Partnership will not be able to complete its full
upgrade program. As

a result, the value of the Partnership's systems will be lower than that of
systems rebuilt to a higher technical standard.

         The Partnership's Facility will mature on August 31, 2001, at which
time all funds previously advanced will be due in full. Borrowings bear interest
at the lender's base rate (8.25% at September 30, 1998) plus 0.625%, or at an
offshore rate plus 1.875%. Under certain circumstances, the Partnership is
required to make mandatory prepayments, which permanently reduce the maximum
commitment under the Facility. The Facility contains certain financial tests and
other covenants including, among others, restrictions on incurrence of
indebtedness, investments, sales of assets, acquisitions and other covenants,
defaults and conditions. The Partnership believes it was in compliance with the
covenants at September 30, 1998.

         The Corporate General Partner contributed its $269,300 receivable
balance from the Partnership for past due management fees and reimbursed
expenses as an equity contribution to EFC. This balance was not paid on
September 30, 1997 and remains an outstanding obligation of the Partnership.

         The Facility does not restrict the payment of distributions to partners
unless an event of default exists thereunder or the ratio of debt to cash flow
is greater than 4 to 1. However, as a result of the pending upgrade program
discussed above, the Corporate General Partner has concluded that it is not
prudent for the Partnership to resume paying distributions at this time.

         Beginning in August 1997, the Partnership elected to self-insure its
cable distribution plant and subscriber connections against property damage as
well as possible business interruptions caused by such damage. The decision to
self-insure was made due to significant increases in the cost of insurance
coverage and decreases in the amount of insurance coverage available.

         While the Partnership made the election to self-insure for these risks
based upon a comparison of historical damage sustained over the previous five
years with the cost and amount of insurance currently available, there can be no
assurance that future self-insured losses will not exceed prior costs of
maintaining insurance for these risks. Approximately 73% of the Partnership's
subscribers are served by its system in Flora, Illinois and neighboring
communities. Significant damage to the system due to seasonal weather conditions
or other events could have a material adverse effect on the Partnership's
liquidity and cash flows. The Partnership continues to purchase insurance
coverage in amounts its management views as appropriate for all other property,
liability, automobile, workers' compensation and other types of insurable risks.

         In October 1998, the Partnership reinstated third party insurance
coverage against damage to its cable distribution plant and subscriber
connections and against business interruptions resulting from such damage.
Although this coverage is subject to a significant annual deductible, the policy
is intended to insure the Partnership against catastrophic losses, if any, in
future periods.

         During the third quarter, the Corporate General Partner continued its
identification and evaluation of the Partnership's Year 2000 business risks and
its exposure to computer systems, to operating equipment which is date sensitive
and to the interface systems of its vendors and service providers. The
evaluation has

focused on identification and assessment of systems and equipment that may fail
to distinguish between the year 1900 and the year 2000 and, as a result, may
cease to operate or may operate improperly when dates after December 31, 1999
are introduced.

         Based on a study conducted in 1997, the Corporate General Partner
concluded that certain of the Partnership's information systems were not Year
2000 compliant and elected to replace such software and hardware with
applications and equipment certified by the vendors as Year 2000 compliant. The
Corporate General Partner expects to install substantially all of the new
systems in the fourth quarter of 1998, with the remaining systems to be
installed in the first half of 1999. The total anticipated cost, including
replacement software and hardware, will be borne by FCLP. FCLP is utilizing
internal and external resources to install the new systems. The Partnership does
not believe that any other significant information technology ("IT") projects
affecting the Partnership have been delayed due to efforts to identify and
address Year 2000 issues.

         Additionally, the Partnership has inventoried its operating and revenue
generating equipment to identify items that need to be upgraded or replaced and
has surveyed cable equipment manufacturers to determine which of their models
require upgrade or replacement to become Year 2000 compliant. Identification and
evaluation are essentially completed and a plan is being developed to remediate
non-compliant equipment prior to January 1, 2000. The Partnership expects to
complete its planning process by the end of 1998. Upgrade or replacement,
testing and implementation will be performed in 1999. The cost of such
replacement or remediation, currently estimated at $34,000, is not expected to
have a material effect on the Partnership's financial position or results of
operations. The Partnership has not incurred any costs related to the Year 2000
project as of September 30, 1998. The Partnership plans to inventory, assess,
replace and test equipment with embedded computer chips in a separate segment of
its project, presently scheduled for 1999.

         The Partnership has continued to survey its significant third party
vendors and service suppliers to determine the extent to which the Partnership's
interface systems are vulnerable should those third parties fail to solve their
own Year 2000 problems on a timely basis. Among the most significant service
providers upon which the Partnership relies are programming suppliers, power and
telephone companies, various banking institutions and the Partnership's customer
billing service. A majority of these service suppliers either have not responded
to the Partnership's inquiries regarding their Year 2000 compliance programs or
have responded that they are unsure if they will become compliant on a timely
basis. Consequently, there can be no assurance that the systems of other
companies on which the Partnership must rely will be Year 2000 compliant on a
timely basis.

         The Partnership expects to develop a contingency plan in 1999 to
address possible situations in which various systems of the Partnership, or of
third parties with which the Partnership does business, are not compliant prior
to January 1, 2000. Considerable effort will be directed toward distinguishing
between those contingencies with a greater probability of occurring from those
whose occurrence is considered remote. Moreover, such a plan will necessarily
focus on systems whose failure poses a material risk to the Partnership's
results of operations and financial condition.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (CONTINUED)

         The Partnership's most significant Year 2000 risk is an interruption of
service to subscribers, resulting in a potentially material loss of revenues.
Other risks include impairment of the Partnership's ability to bill and/or
collect payment from its customers, which could negatively impact its liquidity
and cash flows. Such risks exist primarily due to technological operations
dependent upon third parties and to a much lesser extent to those under the
control of the Partnership. Failure to achieve Year 2000 readiness in either
area could have a material adverse impact on the Partnership. The Partnership is
unable to estimate the possible effect on its results of operations, liquidity
and financial condition should its significant service suppliers fail to
complete their readiness programs prior to the Year 2000. Depending on the
supplier, equipment malfunction or type of service provided, as well as the
location and duration of the problem, the effect could be material. For example,
if a cable programming supplier encounters an interruption of its signal due to
a Year 2000 satellite malfunction, the Partnership will be unable to provide the
signal to its cable subscribers, which could result in a loss of revenues. Due
to the number of individually owned and operated channels the Partnership
carries for its subscribers, and the packaging of those channels, the
Partnership is unable to estimate any reasonable dollar impact of such
interruption.

         NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 AND 1997

         Cash provided by operating activities decreased by $16,100 in the nine
months ended September 30, 1998 from the corresponding period in 1997. Changes
in receivables and prepaid expenses used $92,900 more cash in the first nine
months of 1998 than in the corresponding period in 1997 due to differences in
the timing of receivable collections and in the payment of prepaid expenses. The
Partnership used $82,900 more cash to pay liabilities owed to third-party
creditors due to differences in the timing of payments.

         The Partnership used $38,600 more cash in investing activities during
the nine months ended September 30, 1998 than in the comparable nine months of
1997 primarily due to an increase of $43,700 in expenditures for tangible
assets, partially offset by a decrease of $5,000 in expenditures for intangible
assets. Financing activities used $234,200 more cash in the first nine months of
1998 than in the corresponding period of 1997. The Partnership used $171,100
more cash to pay liabilities owed to the Corporate General Partner in the first
nine months of 1998 than in the corresponding period of 1997 due to differences
in the timing of payments. The Partnership used $125,000 more cash for the
repayment of borrowings in the first nine months of 1998 and $61,900 more cash
for the payment of deferred loan costs related to its Facility in the first nine
months of 1997 than in the comparable period.

INFLATION

         Certain of the Partnership's expenses, such as those for wages and
benefits, equipment repair and replacement, and billing and marketing generally
increase with inflation. However, the Partnership does not believe that its
financial results have been, or will be, adversely affected by inflation in a
material way, provided that it is able to increase its service rates
periodically, of which there can be no assurance.
