PART I

Item 1. Business.

Introduction

Renaissance Media Group LLC (“Renaissance Media Group”), through its subsidiaries, is the owner and operator of cable systems. We are a wholly owned subsidiary of CCO NR Holdings, LLC (“CCO NR”), from which we receive funding as needed. As of December 31, 2005, we own and operate cable systems serving approximately 131,200 analog video customers. Through our broadband network of coaxial and fiber optic cable, we offer our customers traditional cable video programming (analog and digital, which we refer to as “video” service), high-speed Internet access and advanced broadband cable services (such as video on demand (“VOD”), high definition television and interactive television).

Renaissance Media Capital Corporation (“Capital”) was formed as a wholly owned subsidiary of Renaissance Media Group for the sole purpose of being a co-issuer of debt instruments to be offered and sold to the public. Renaissance Media (Louisiana) LLC (“Louisiana”) and Renaissance Media (Tennessee) LLC (“Tennessee”) are both wholly owned subsidiaries of Renaissance Media Group, and hold a 76% interest and 24% interest, respectively, in Renaissance Media LLC (“Media”). Media owns and operates cable systems in Louisiana, Tennessee and Mississippi and commenced active operations in April 1998. Renaissance Media Group, Capital, Louisiana and Tennessee do not, and will not, conduct any operations, and their only assets are the equity interests in one another as described above.

At December 31, 2005, our investment in cable properties, long-term debt and total member’s equity were $380.1 million, $115.4 million and $178.7 million, respectively. Our debt-to-equity ratio and working capital deficit were 0.6 to 1 and $84.2 million at December 31, 2005, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2005, our revenues and net loss were approximately $110.3 million and $18.6 million, respectively.

We are managed by Charter Communications, Inc. (“Charter”) and Charter Communications Holding Company, LLC (“Charter Holdco”) and pay a fee for their management services. See also Note 14 to our consolidated financial statements contained in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.” Our principal executive offices are located at Charter Plaza, 12405 Powerscourt Drive, St. Louis, Missouri 63131. Our telephone number is (314) 965-0555 and information regarding us is available on Charter’s website accessible at www.charter.com. Since January 1, 2002, our annual reports, quarterly reports and current reports on Form 8-K, and all amendments thereto, have been made available on Charter’s website free of charge as soon as reasonably practicable after they have been filed. The information posted on Charter’s website is not incorporated into this annual report.

Recent Events

Appointment of New Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer

Jeffrey T. Fisher, 43, has been appointed to the position of Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Charter, effective February 6, 2006. Mr. Fisher succeeds the Interim Chief Financial Officer, Paul E. Martin, who has indicated his intention to continue as Charter’s Senior Vice President, Principal Accounting Officer and Corporate Controller until at least March 31, 2006.

Issuance of Charter Operating Notes in Exchange for Renaissance Notes

On March 13, 2006, we exchanged $37.2 million of our 10% senior discount notes due 2008 for $37.4 million principal amount of new Charter Communications Operating, LLC (“Charter Operating”) 8 3/8% senior second-lien notes due 2014 issued in a private transaction under Rule 144A. The terms and conditions of the new Charter Operating 8 3/8% senior second-lien notes due 2014 are identical to Charter Operating’s currently outstanding 8 3/8% senior second-lien notes due 2014.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Risks Related to Significant Indebtedness of Us and Our Parent Companies

The indenture governing our notes contains a number of significant covenants that could adversely impact our ability to operate our business.

The indenture governing our notes contains a number of significant covenants that could adversely impact our ability to operate our business. In particular, our indenture restricts our and our subsidiaries' ability to:

· incur additional debt;

· pay dividends on or repurchase equity interests;

· make investments;

· sell all or substantially all of our assets or merge with or into other companies;

· sell assets;

· enter into sale-leasebacks;

· in the case of restricted subsidiaries, create or permit to exist dividend or payment restrictions with respect to the bond issuers, guarantee the bond issuers' debt, or issue specified equity interests;

· engage in certain transactions with affiliates; and

· grant liens.

Our ability to comply with these provisions may be affected by events beyond our control. The breach of any of these covenants will result in a default under the indenture governing our notes, which could result in acceleration of such notes and in certain cases, could result in cross-defaults under our affiliates' debt obligations. Any default under our indenture might adversely affect our growth, our financial condition and our results of operations and the ability to make payments on our notes. For more information, see the section above entitled “Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Liquidity and Capital Resources."

We may not generate sufficient cash flow or have access to additional external liquidity sources to fund our capital expenditures, ongoing operations and debt obligations.

Our business requires significant cash to fund debt service costs, capital expenditures and ongoing operations. Our ongoing operations will depend on our ability to generate cash flow and our access to additional external liquidity sources. We have historically funded liquidity and capital requirements through cash flows from operating activities and receipt of cash from our indirect parent companies funded through borrowings under the Charter Operating credit facilities.

As the principal amounts of our notes become due in 2008, it is unclear whether we will have access to sufficient capital to satisfy these principal repayment obligations. Cash flows from operating activities and other existing sources of funds may not be sufficient, on their own, to permit us to satisfy these obligations.

If our business does not generate sufficient cash flow from operating activities, and sufficient future contributions are not available to us from other sources of financing, we may not be able to repay our debt, grow our business, respond to competitive challenges or fund our other liquidity and capital needs.

If we need to seek alternative sources of financing, there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain the requisite financing or that such financing, if available, would not have terms that are materially disadvantageous to our existing debt holders. Mr. Allen or his affiliates are not obligated to purchase equity from, contribute to or loan funds to us or to our indirect parent companies or subsidiaries.

If we or our indirect parent companies are unable to raise needed capital, ultimately, we could be forced to restructure our obligations or seek protection under the bankruptcy laws. In addition, if we find it necessary to engage in a recapitalization or other similar transaction, our noteholders might not receive all principal and interest payments to which they are contractually entitled.

For more information, see “Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Liquidity and Capital Resources."

Our parent companies have a significant amount of existing debt and may incur significant additional debt, including secured debt, in the future, which could adversely affect our financial health and our ability to react to changes in our business.

Our long-term financing as of December 31, 2005 consists of $114.4 million principal amount of senior discount notes due in 2008. We expect to rely on capital contributions from our indirect parent companies to repay the principal amount of our notes at maturity. However, there can be no assurances that our indirect parent companies will have sufficient liquidity to satisfy this payment when due. As of December 31, 2005, our parent companies have $19.4 billion of debt and may incur additional debt in the future. Cash flows from operating activities and amounts available under the Charter Operating credit facilities and the CCO Holdings, LLC ("CCO Holdings") bridge loan will not be sufficient to fund our and our parent companies' operations and satisfy our and our parent companies' interest payment and principal repayment obligations that come due in 2007 and beyond. Each of our indirect parent companies' debt has certain covenants which may restrict their ability to make distributions to their respective direct parent companies to satisfy future principal repayment obligations. In addition, a default under the covenants governing our indenture could result in the acceleration of our payment obligations under our debt and, under certain circumstances, in cross-defaults under our affiliates' debt obligations, which could adversely affect our indirect parent companies' ability to provide us with funding.

Because Charter is our manager, any financial or liquidity problems of Charter could cause serious disruption to our business and have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations. Any such event could adversely impact our own credit rating, and our relations with customers and suppliers, which could in turn further impair our ability to obtain financing and operate our business. Further, to the extent that any such event results in a change of control of Charter (whether through a bankruptcy, receivership or other reorganization of Charter and/or Charter Holdco, or otherwise), it could result in an event of default under the Charter Operating credit facilities and would require a change of control repurchase offer under our outstanding notes.

We may not have the ability to raise the funds necessary to fulfill our obligations under our indebtedness following a change of control, which would place us in default under the applicable debt instruments.

We may not have the ability to raise the funds necessary to fulfill our obligations under our notes following a change of control. A change of control under our notes would require us to make an offer to repurchase our outstanding notes. However, a failure by us to make or complete a change of control offer would place us in default of these agreements.

Risks Related to Our Business

We operate in a very competitive business environment, which affects our ability to attract and retain customers and can adversely affect our business and operations. We have lost a significant number of video customers to direct broadcast satellite competition and further loss of video customers could have a material negative impact on our business.

The industry in which we operate is highly competitive and has become more so in recent years. In some instances, we compete against companies with fewer regulatory burdens, easier access to financing, greater personnel resources, greater brand name recognition and long-established relationships with regulatory authorities and customers. Increasing consolidation in the cable industry and the repeal of certain ownership rules may provide additional benefits to certain of our competitors, either through access to financing, resources or efficiencies of scale.

Our principal competitor for video services throughout our territory is DBS. Competition from DBS, including intensive marketing efforts and aggressive pricing has had an adverse impact on our ability to retain customers. DBS has grown rapidly over the last several years and continues to do so. The cable industry, including us, has lost a significant number of subscribers to DBS competition, and we face serious challenges in this area in the future. We believe that competition from DBS service providers may present greater challenges in areas of lower population density, and that our systems service a higher concentration of such areas than those of other major cable service providers.

Local telephone companies and electric utilities can offer video and other services in competition with us and they increasingly may do so in the future. Certain telephone companies have begun more extensive deployment of fiber in

3

their networks that enable them to begin providing video services, as well as telephone and high bandwidth Internet access services, to residential and business customers and they are now offering such service in limited areas. Some of these telephone companies have obtained, and are now seeking, franchises or operating authorizations that are less burdensome than our existing franchises.

The subscription television industry also faces competition from free broadcast television and from other communications and entertainment media. Further loss of customers to DBS or other alternative video and Internet services could have a material negative impact on the value of our business and its performance.

With respect to our Internet access services, we face competition, including intensive marketing efforts and aggressive pricing, from telephone companies and other providers of DSL and “dial-up”. DSL service is competitive with high-speed Internet service over cable systems. In addition, DBS providers have entered into joint marketing arrangements with Internet access providers to offer bundled video and Internet service, which competes with our ability to provide bundled services to our customers. Moreover, as we expand our offerings to include telephone, we will face considerable competition from established telephone companies and other carriers, including VoIP providers.

In order to attract new customers, from time to time we make promotional offers, including offers of temporarily reduced-price or free service. These promotional programs result in significant advertising, programming and operating expenses, and also require us to make capital expenditures to acquire additional digital set-top terminals. Customers who subscribe to our services as a result of these offerings may not remain customers for any significant period of time following the end of the promotional period. A failure to retain existing customers and customers added through promotional offerings or to collect the amounts they owe us could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial results.

Mergers, joint ventures and alliances among franchised, wireless or private cable operators, satellite television providers, local exchange carriers and others, may provide additional benefits to some of our competitors, either through access to financing, resources or efficiencies of scale, or the ability to provide multiple services in direct competition with us.

We cannot assure you that our cable systems will allow us to compete effectively. Additionally, as we expand our offerings to include other telecommunications services, and to introduce new and enhanced services, we will be subject to competition from other providers of the services we offer. We cannot predict the extent to which competition may affect our business and operations in the future.

We have a history of net losses and expect to continue to experience net losses. Consequently, we may not have the ability to finance future operations.

We have had a history of net losses and expect to continue to report net losses for the foreseeable future. Our net losses are principally attributable to insufficient revenue to cover a combination of operating costs, the interest costs on our debt and the depreciation expenses that we incur resulting from the capital investments we have made in our cable properties, and the amortization and impairment of our franchise intangibles. We expect that these expenses (other than amortization and impairment of franchises) will remain significant, and we expect to continue to report net losses for the foreseeable future. We reported losses before cumulative effect of accounting change of $18.6 million for 2005 and $26.1 million for 2004 and income before cumulative effect of accounting change of $0.3 million for 2003. Continued losses would reduce our cash available from operations to service our indebtedness, as well as limit our ability to finance our operations.

We may not have the ability to pass our increasing programming costs on to our customers, which would adversely affect our cash flow and operating margins.

Programming has been, and is expected to continue to be, our largest operating expense item. In recent years, the cable industry has experienced a rapid escalation in the cost of programming, particularly sports programming. We expect programming costs to continue to increase because of a variety of factors, including inflationary or negotiated annual increases, additional programming being provided to customers and increased costs to purchase programming. The inability to fully pass these programming cost increases on to our customers has had an adverse impact on our cash flow and operating margins. As measured by programming costs, and excluding premium services (substantially all of which were renegotiated and renewed in 2003), as of December 31, 2005, approximately 15% of Charter’s

4

current programming contracts were expired, and approximately another 4% were scheduled to expire at or before the end of 2006. There can be no assurance that these agreements will be renewed on favorable or comparable terms. Our programming costs increased by approximately 3% in 2005 and we expect our programming costs in 2006 to increase at a higher rate than in 2005. To the extent that we are unable to reach agreement with certain programmers on terms that we believe are reasonable we may be forced to remove such programming channels from our line-up, which could result in a further loss of customers.

If our required capital expenditures exceed our projections, we may not have sufficient funding, which could adversely affect our growth, financial condition and results of operations.

During the year ended December 31, 2005, we spent approximately $52.4 million on capital expenditures. Our capital expenditures depends on the level of growth in high-speed Internet customers and in the delivery of other advanced services, as well as the cost of introducing any new services such as telephone. We may need additional capital if there is accelerated growth in high-speed Internet customers or in the delivery of other advanced services or an acceleration in the deployment of telephone services. If we cannot obtain such capital from increases in our cash flow from operating activities, additional borrowings or other sources, our growth, financial condition and results of operations could suffer materially.

Our inability to respond to technological developments and meet customer demand for new products and services could limit our ability to compete effectively.

Our business is characterized by rapid technological change and the introduction of new products and services. We cannot assure you that we will be able to fund the capital expenditures necessary to keep pace with unanticipated technological developments, or that we will successfully anticipate the demand of our customers for products and services requiring new technology. Our inability to maintain and expand our upgraded systems and provide advanced services in a timely manner, or to anticipate the demands of the marketplace, could materially adversely affect our ability to attract and retain customers. Consequently, our growth, financial condition and results of operations could suffer materially.

Malicious and abusive Internet practices could impair our high-speed Internet services

Our high-speed Internet customers utilize our network to access the Internet and, as a consequence, we or they may become victim to common malicious and abusive Internet activities, such as unsolicited mass advertising (i.e., “spam”) and dissemination of viruses, worms and other destructive or disruptive software. These activities could have adverse consequences on our network and our customers, including degradation of service, excessive call volume to call centers and damage to our or our customers’ equipment and data. Significant incidents could lead to customer dissatisfaction and, ultimately, loss of customers or revenue, in addition to increased costs to us to service our customers and protect our network. Any significant loss of high-speed Internet customers or revenue or significant increase in costs of serving those customers could adversely affect our growth, financial condition and results of operations.

As a result of hurricanes Katrina and Rita, we can not assure you when our displaced customers will return or when our revenues will increase to pre-hurricane levels.

We experienced significant customer losses as a result of the displacement of customers affected by hurricanes Katrina and Rita for a period of time and our revenues decreased approximately $8.8 million as a result of credits issued to hurricane impacted customers.  While we expect that customers displaced by the hurricanes will return and that revenues will return to pre-hurricane levels we can not predict the amount of time customers and revenues will be impacted by the hurricanes or the number of displaced customers that will return.

Risks Related to Regulatory and Legislative Matters

Our business is subject to extensive governmental legislation and regulation, which could adversely affect our business.

Regulation of the cable industry has increased cable operators’ administrative and operational expenses and limited their revenues. Cable operators are subject to, among other things:

· rules governing the provision of cable equipment and compatibility with new digital technologies;

· rules and regulations relating to subscriber privacy;

· limited rate regulation;

· requirements governing when a cable system must carry a particular broadcast station and when it must first obtain consent to carry a broadcast station;

· rules for franchise renewals and transfers; and

· other requirements covering a variety of operational areas such as equal employment opportunity, technical standards and customer service requirements.

Additionally, many aspects of these regulations are currently the subject of judicial proceedings and administrative or legislative proposals. There are also ongoing efforts to amend or expand the federal, state and local regulation of some of our cable systems, which may compound the regulatory risks we already face. Certain states and localities are considering new telecommunications taxes that could increase operating expenses.

Our cable systems are operated under franchises that are subject to non-renewal or termination. The failure to renew a franchise in one or more key markets could adversely affect our business.

Our cable systems generally operate pursuant to franchises, permits and similar authorizations issued by a state or local governmental authority controlling the public rights-of-way. Many franchises establish comprehensive facilities and service requirements, as well as specific customer service standards and monetary penalties for non-compliance. In many cases, franchises are terminable if the franchisee fails to comply with significant provisions set forth in the franchise agreement governing system operations. Franchises are generally granted for fixed terms and must be periodically renewed. Local franchising authorities may resist granting a renewal if either past performance or the prospective operating proposal is considered inadequate. Franchise authorities often demand concessions or other commitments as a condition to renewal. In some instances, franchises have not been renewed at expiration, and we have operated and are operating under either temporary operating agreements or without a license while negotiating renewal terms with the local franchising authorities. Approximately 11% of our franchises, covering approximately 11% of our analog video customers, were expired as of December 31, 2005. Approximately 12% of additional franchises, covering approximately an additional 5% of our analog video customers, will expire on or before December 31, 2006, if not renewed prior to expiration.

We cannot assure you that we will be able to comply with all significant provisions of our franchise agreements and certain of our franchisors have from time to time alleged that we have not complied with these agreements. Additionally, although historically we have renewed our franchises without incurring significant costs, we cannot assure you that we will be able to renew, or to renew as favorably, our franchises in the future. A termination of or a sustained failure to renew a franchise in one or more key markets could adversely affect our business in the affected geographic area.

Our cable systems are operated under franchises that are non-exclusive. Accordingly, local franchising authorities can grant additional franchises and create competition in market areas where none existed previously, resulting in overbuilds, which could adversely affect results of operations.

Our cable systems are operated under non-exclusive franchises granted by local franchising authorities. Consequently, local franchising authorities can grant additional franchises to competitors in the same geographic area or operate their

6

own cable systems. In addition, certain telephone companies are seeking authority to operate in local communities without first obtaining a local franchise. As a result, competing operators may build systems in areas in which we hold franchises. In some cases municipal utilities may legally compete with us without obtaining a franchise from the local franchising authority.

Different legislative proposals have been introduced in the United States Congress and in some state legislatures that would greatly streamline cable franchising. This legislation is intended to facilitate entry by new competitors, particularly local telephone companies. Such legislation has passed in at least three states  and one of these newly enacted statutes is subject to court challenge. Although various legislative proposals provide some regulatory relief for incumbent cable operators, these proposals are generally viewed as being more favorable to new entrants due to a number of varying factors including efforts to withhold streamlined cable franchising from incumbents until after the expiration of their existing franchises. To the extent incumbent cable operators are not able to avail themselves of this streamlined franchising process, such operators may continue to be subject to more onerous franchise requirements at the local level than new entrants. The FCC recently initiated a proceeding to determine whether local franchising authorities are impeding the deployment of competitive cable services through unreasonable franchising requirements and whether such impediments should be preempted. At this time, we are not able to determine what impact such proceeding may have on us.

The existence of more than one cable system operating in the same territory is referred to as an overbuild. These overbuilds could adversely affect our growth, financial condition and results of operations by creating or increasing competition. As of December 31, 2005, we are aware of overbuild situations impacting approximately 13% of our estimated homes passed. Additional overbuild situations may occur in other systems.

Local franchise authorities have the ability to impose additional regulatory constraints on our business, which could further increase our expenses.

In addition to the franchise agreement, cable authorities in some jurisdictions have adopted cable regulatory ordinances that further regulate the operation of cable systems. This additional regulation increases the cost of operating our business. We cannot assure you that the local franchising authorities will not impose new and more restrictive requirements. Local franchising authorities also have the power to reduce rates and order refunds on the rates charged for basic services.

Further regulation of the cable industry could cause us to delay or cancel service or programming enhancements or impair our ability to raise rates to cover our increasing costs, resulting in increased losses.

Currently, rate regulation is strictly limited to the basic service tier and associated equipment and installation activities. However, the FCC and the U.S. Congress continue to be concerned that cable rate increases are exceeding inflation. It is possible that either the FCC or the U.S. Congress will again restrict the ability of cable system operators to implement rate increases. Should this occur, it would impede our ability to raise our rates. If we are unable to raise our rates in response to increasing costs, our losses would increase.

There has been considerable legislative and regulatory interest in requiring cable operators to offer historically bundled programming services on an á la carte basis or to at least offer a separately available child-friendly “Family Tier.” It is possible that new marketing restrictions could be adopted in the future. Such restrictions could adversely affect our operations.

Actions by pole owners might subject us to significantly increased pole attachment costs.

Pole attachments are cable wires that are attached to poles. Cable system attachments to public utility poles historically have been regulated at the federal or state level, generally resulting in favorable pole attachment rates for attachments used to provide cable service. The FCC clarified that a cable operator’s favorable pole rates are not endangered by the provision of Internet access, and that approach ultimately was upheld by the Supreme Court of the United States. Despite the existing regulatory regime, utility pole owners in many areas are attempting to raise pole attachment fees and impose additional costs on cable operators and others. In addition, the favorable pole attachment rates afforded cable operators under federal law can be increased by utility companies if the operator provides telecommunications services, as well as cable service, over cable wires attached to utility poles. Any significant

increased costs could have a material adverse impact on our profitability and discourage system upgrades and the introduction of new products and services.

We may be required to provide access to our networks to other Internet service providers, which could significantly increase our competition and adversely affect our ability to provide new products and services.

A number of companies, including independent Internet service providers, or ISPs, have requested local authorities and the FCC to require cable operators to provide non-discriminatory access to cable’s broadband infrastructure, so that these companies may deliver Internet services directly to customers over cable facilities. In a June 2005 ruling, commonly referred to as Brand X, the Supreme Court upheld an FCC decision (and overruled a conflicting Ninth Circuit opinion) making it much less likely that any nondiscriminatory “open access” requirements (which are generally associated with common carrier regulation of “telecommunications services”) will be imposed on the cable industry by local, state or federal authorities. The Supreme Court held that the FCC was correct in classifying cable provided Internet service as an “information service,” rather than a “telecommunications service.” This favorable regulatory classification limits the ability of various governmental authorities to impose open access requirements on cable-provided Internet service. Given how recently Brand X was decided, however, the nature of any legislative or regulatory response remains uncertain. The imposition of open access requirements could materially affect our business.

If we were required to allocate a portion of our bandwidth capacity to other Internet service providers, we believe that it would impair our ability to use our bandwidth in ways that would generate maximum revenues.

Changes in channel carriage regulations could impose significant additional costs on us.

Cable operators also face significant regulation of their channel carriage. They currently can be required to devote substantial capacity to the carriage of programming that they would not carry voluntarily, including certain local broadcast signals, local public, educational and government access programming, and unaffiliated commercial leased access programming. This carriage burden could increase in the future, particularly if cable systems were required to carry both the analog and digital versions of local broadcast signals (dual carriage) or to carry multiple program streams included with a single digital broadcast transmission (multicast carriage). Additional government-mandated broadcast carriage obligations could disrupt existing programming commitments, interfere with our preferred use of limited channel capacity and limit our ability to offer services that would maximize customer appeal and revenue potential. Although the FCC issued a decision in February 2005, confirming an earlier ruling against mandating either dual carriage or multicast carriage, that decision has been appealed. In addition, the FCC could reverse its own ruling or Congress could legislate additional carriage obligations.

Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments.

None.

Item 2. Properties.

Our principal physical assets consist of cable distribution plant and equipment, including signal receiving, encoding and decoding devices, headend reception facilities, distribution systems and customer drop equipment for each of our cable systems.

Our cable plant and related equipment are generally attached to utility poles under pole rental agreements with local public utilities and telephone companies, and in certain locations are buried in underground ducts or trenches. We own or lease real property for signal reception sites and own most of our service vehicles.

The physical components of our cable systems require maintenance as well as periodic upgrades to support the new services and products we introduce. We believe that our properties are generally in good operating condition and are suitable for our business operations.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings.

Charter is party to lawsuits and claims that have arisen in the ordinary course of conducting its business. In the

8

opinion of management, after taking into account recorded liabilities, the outcome of these lawsuits and claims are not expected to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or our liquidity.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Reference is made to “Risk Factors” of this section and “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” which describes important factors that could cause actual results to differ from expectations and non-historical information contained herein. In addition, the following discussion should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, and the annual report on Form 10-K of Charter Holdings for the year ended December 31, 2005.

Introduction

The industry’s and our most significant operational challenges include competition from direct broadcast satellite (“DBS”) providers and digital subscriber line (“DSL”) service providers. We believe that competition from DBS has resulted in net analog video customer losses and decreased growth rates for digital video customers. Competition from DSL providers combined with limited opportunities to expand our customer base has resulted in decreased growth rates for high-speed Internet customers. In the recent past, we have grown revenues by offsetting video customer losses with price increases and sales of incremental advanced services such as high-speed Internet, video on demand, digital video recorders and high definition television. We expect to continue to grow revenues through continued growth in high-speed Internet and incremental new services including voice over Internet protocol (“VOIP”) telephony, high definition television, VOD and DVR service.

For the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, our loss from operations, which includes depreciation and amortization expense and impairment of franchises but excludes interest expense, was $7.5 million and $15.0 million, respectively. We had a negative operating margin (defined as loss from operations divided by revenues) of 7% and 13% for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The decrease in loss from operations and negative operating margins from 2005 to 2004 was principally due to impairment of franchises of $21.0 million recorded in 2004 which did not recur in 2005 offset by the hurricane asset retirement loss recorded in 2005.

As of December 31, 2005 and 2004, we own and operate cable systems serving approximately 131,200 and 142,400 analog video customers, respectively. Approximately 103,400 of our analog video customers were impacted by hurricanes Katrina and Rita. We have restored service to our impacted customers. Included in the 11,200 of net loss of analog video customers for the year ended December 31, 2005 is approximately 5,400 of net losses related to

10

systems impacted by hurricanes Katrina and Rita. We currently estimate additional analog video customer losses related to hurricanes Katrina and Rita of approximately 3,000 to 4,000 in the first quarter of 2006 as a result of the displacement of current customers for a period of time.

Our outstanding notes require us to pay cash interest each April and October and mature in 2008. We expect that we will rely on loans and capital contributions from our indirect parent companies to repay our notes at maturity. However, there can be no assurance that our indirect parent companies will have sufficient liquidity to provide funds to us to satisfy this payment when due.

Year Ended December 31, 2005 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2004

Revenues. The overall decrease in revenues in 2005 compared to 2004 is principally the result of $8.8 million of credits issued to hurricanes Katrina and Rita impacted customers related to service outages and a decrease in analog video customers and is offset partially by increases in the number of digital video and high-speed Internet customers as well as price increases for video and high-speed Internet services. We expect revenues to be negatively impacted for a period of time as a result of the displacement of customers by hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Our goal is to increase revenues by improving customer service which we believe will stabilize our analog video customer base, implementing price increases on certain services and packages and increasing the number of our customers who purchase high-speed Internet services, digital video and advanced products and services such as VOD, high definition television and DVR service.

	$	110,286		100	%	$	115,711		100	%	$	(5,425	)		(5	)%

Video revenues consist primarily of revenues from analog and digital video services provided to our non-commercial customers. The decrease was primarily the result of approximately $6.8 million of credits issued to hurricanes Katrina and Rita impacted customers related to service outages and a decline in analog video customers partially offset by price increases and an increase in digital video customers.

The increase in revenues from high-speed Internet services provided to our non-commercial customers was primarily the result of an increase in high-speed Internet customers and an increase in the average price of the service, partially offset by approximately $2.0 million of credits issued to hurricanes Katrina and Rita impacted customers related to service outages.

Advertising sales revenues consist primarily of revenues from commercial advertising customers, programmers and other vendors. Advertising sales increased primarily as a result of an increase in local advertising sales offset by a decline in the national advertising sales. For the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, we received $0.5 million and $0.4 million, respectively, in advertising sales revenues from programmers.

Commercial revenues consist primarily of revenues from cable video and high-speed Internet services to our commercial customers. Commercial revenues increased primarily as a result of an increase in commercial high-speed Internet revenues.

Other revenues consist of revenues from franchise fees, equipment rental, customer installations, home shopping, late payment fees, wire maintenance fees and other miscellaneous revenues. Other revenues decreased primarily as a result of a decrease in late payment fees.

Operating expenses. Programming costs included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations were $31.8 million and $30.9 million, representing 60% and 63% of total operating expenses for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Key expense components as a percentage of revenues were as follows (dollars in thousands):

	Year Ended December 31,
	2005					2004					2005 over 2004
	Expenses		% of Revenues			Expenses		% of Revenues			Change		% Change
Programming	$	31,775		29	%	$	30,874		27	%	$	901		3	%
Service		18,255		17	%		15,541		13	%		2,714		17	%
Advertising sales		2,734		2	%		2,361		2	%		373		16	%
	$	52,764		48	%	$	48,776		42	%	$	3,988		8	%

Programming costs consist primarily of costs paid to programmers for analog, premium, digital channels and pay-per-view programming. The increase in programming costs was a result of price increases, particularly in sports

12

programming and an increase in digital video customers, partially offset by reductions in programming costs of $1.8 million related to hurricanes Katrina and Rita service outages and decreases in analog video customers. Programming costs were offset by the amortization of payments received from programmers in support of launches of new channels of $1.1 million and $1.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Our cable programming costs have increased in every year we have operated in excess of customary inflationary and cost-of-living increases. We expect them to continue to increase due to a variety of factors, including annual increases imposed by programmers and additional programming being provided to customers as a result of system rebuilds and bandwidth reallocation, both of which increase channel capacity. In 2006, we expect programming costs to increase at a higher rate than in 2005. These costs will be determined in part on the outcome of programming negotiations in 2006 and will likely be subject to offsetting events or otherwise affected by factors similar to the ones mentioned in the preceding paragraph. Our increasing programming costs have resulted in declining operating margins for our video services because we have been unable to pass on cost increases to our customers. We expect to partially offset any resulting margin compression from our traditional video services with revenue from advanced video services, high-speed Internet revenues, advertising revenues and commercial service revenues.

Service costs consist primarily of service personnel salaries and benefits, franchise fees, system utilities, cost of providing high-speed Internet, maintenance and pole rental expense. The increase in service costs resulted primarily from increased labor and maintenance costs related to hurricanes Katrina and Rita, increased costs of providing high-speed Internet service as a result of an increase in high-speed Internet customers and higher fuel prices. Advertising sales expenses consist of costs related to traditional advertising services provided to advertising customers, including salaries, benefits and commissions. The increase in advertising sales expenses was a result of was a result of an increase in salaries and commissions.

Selling, general and administrative expenses. Key components of expense as a percentage of revenues were as follows (dollars in thousands):

	Year ended December 31,
	2005					2004					2005 over 2004
			% of					% of
	Expenses		Revenues			Expenses		Revenues			Change		% Change
General and administrative	$	22,347		20	%	$	20,619		18	%	$	1,728		8	%
Marketing		2,433		2	%		2,348		2	%		85		4	%
	$	24,780		22	%	$	22,967		20	%	$	1,813		8	%

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and benefits, rent expense, billing costs, call center costs, internal network costs, bad debt expense and property taxes. The increase in general and administrative expenses resulted primarily from increases in call center costs of $1.3 million and management fees of $0.6 million offset by decreases in property taxes of $0.3 million.

Marketing expenses increased as a result of an increased investment in targeted marketing campaigns.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense decreased by $1.7 million in 2005. The decrease in depreciation was related to an increase in the amount of fully depreciated assets offset by an increase in capital expenditures.

Impairment of franchises. We performed an impairment assessment during the third quarter of 2004. The use of lower projected growth rates and the resulting revised estimates of future cash flows in our valuation, primarily as a result of increased competition, led to the recognition of a $21.0 million impairment charge for the year ended December 31, 2004. Our annual assessment in 2005 did not result in an impairment. 

Loss on sale of assets,net. Loss on sale of assets for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, represents losses recognized on the disposition of plant and equipment.

13

Hurricane Asset Retirement Loss. Hurricane asset retirement loss represents the loss associated with the write-off of the net book value of assets destroyed by hurricanes Katrina and Rita in the third quarter of 2005.

Special charges, net. Reversal of special charges for the year ended December 31, 2005 represents an agreed upon cash discount on settlement of Charter’s consolidated federal class action and federal derivative action. Special charges for the year ended December 31, 2004 represents approximately $2.1 million as part of a settlement of Charter’s consolidated federal class actions, state derivative actions and federal derivative action lawsuits and approximately $0.1 million of litigation costs related to the settlement of a 2004 national class action suit (see Note 15 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements contained in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data”).

Interest expense, net. Interest expense remained relatively unchanged for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004.

Cumulative effect of accounting change. Cumulative effect of accounting change of $5.7 million in 2004 represents the impairment charge recorded as a result of our adoption of EITF Topic D-108, Use of the Residual Method to Value Acquired Assets Other than Goodwill.

Net loss. Net loss decreased $13.2 million in 2005 compared to 2004 as a result of the factors described above. The estimated impact to net loss in 2005 of hurricanes Katrina and Rita was to increase net loss by approximately $15.6 million. The impact to net loss in 2004 of the impairment of franchises and the cumulative effect of accounting change was to increase net loss by $26.8 million in 2004.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Introduction

This section contains a discussion of our liquidity and capital resources, including a discussion of our cash position, sources and uses of cash, access to credit facilities and other financing sources, historical financing activities, cash needs, capital expenditures and outstanding debt.

Overview

Our business requires significant cash to fund debt service costs, capital expenditures and ongoing operations. We have historically funded these requirements through cash flows from operating activities. However, the mix of funding sources changes from period to period. For the year ended December 31, 2005, we generated $19.0 million of net cash flows from operating activities. During 2006, we expect to fund our liquidity and capital requirements primarily through cash on hand, cash flows from operating activities and receipt of cash from our indirect parent companies funded through borrowings under the Charter Operating credit facilities.

The following table summarizes our payment obligations as of December 31, 2005 under our long-term debt and certain other contractual obligations and commitments (dollars in thousands).

(1) The table presents maturities of long-term debt outstanding as of December 31, 2005. Refer to notes 8 and 15 to our consolidated financial statements contained in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” for a description of our long-term debt and other contractual obligations and commitments.

14

The following items are not included in the contractual obligations table because the obligations are not fixed and/or determinable due to various factors discussed below. However, we incur these costs as part of our operations:

· We also rent utility poles used in our operations. Generally, pole rentals are cancelable on short notice, but we anticipate that such rentals will recur. Rent expense incurred for pole rental attachments for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, was approximately $1.3 million and $1.3 million, respectively.

· We pay franchise fees under multi-year franchise agreements based on a percentage of revenues earned from video service per year. We also pay other franchise related costs, such as public education grants, under multi-year agreements. Franchise fees and other franchise related costs included in the accompanying statement of operations were approximately $3.8 million and $4.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

· Our parent companies negotiate and enter into programming agreements covering all of their subsidiaries, including us. We pay programming fees under these multi-year contracts ranging from three to six years typically based on a flat fee per customer, which may be fixed for the term or may in some cases, escalate over the term. Programming costs included in the accompanying statements of operations were $31.8 million and $30.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

The principal amount of our senior notes was $114.4 million as of December 31, 2005. Interest on the notes is payable semi-annually in arrears in cash at a rate of 10% per year. The notes are redeemable at the option of the issuers thereof, in whole or in part, at 101.667% of their principal amount at maturity, plus accrued interest, declining to 100% of the principal amount at maturity, plus accrued interest, on or after April 15, 2006. Renaissance Media Group has fully and unconditionally guaranteed the notes.

The fair market value of the senior notes was $114.5 million and $117.8 million as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The fair market value of the senior notes is based on quoted market prices.

We expect to remain in compliance with the covenants under our indenture. We expect that cash flows from operating activities and receipt of cash from our indirect parent companies funded through borrowings under the Charter Operating credit facilities will be sufficient to satisfy our liquidity needs until maturity of the notes. However, we expect to rely on capital contributions from our indirect parent companies to repay the principal amount of our notes at maturity. There can be no assurance that our indirect parent companies will have sufficient liquidity to provide funds to us to satisfy this payment when due. As of December 31, 2005, our indirect parent companies have $19.4 billion of debt and may incur additional debt in the future. Cash flows from operating activities and amounts available under the Charter Operating credit facilities and CCO Holdings bridge loan, discussed below, will not be sufficient to fund our and our parent companies' operations and satisfy our and our parent companies' debt repayment and interest payment obligations in 2007 and beyond. The debt of each of our indirect parent companies has certain covenants which may restrict their ability to make distributions to their respective direct parent companies to satisfy future principal repayment obligations. In addition, a default under the covenants governing our indenture could result in the acceleration of our payment obligations under our debt and, under certain circumstances, in cross-defaults under our affiliates' debt obligations, which could adversely affect our indirect parent companies' ability to provide us with funding.

In January 2006, our indirect parent companies, CCH II, LLC (“CCH II”) and CCH II Capital Corp., issued $450 million in debt securities, the proceeds of which were provided, directly or indirectly, to Charter Operating, which used such funds to reduce borrowings, but not commitments, under the revolving portion of its credit facilities.

In October 2005, our indirect parent companies, CCO Holdings and CCO Holdings Capital Corp., as guarantor thereunder, entered into a senior bridge loan agreement (the "Bridge Loan") with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Credit Suisse, Cayman Islands Branch and Deutsche Bank AG Cayman Islands Branch (the "Lenders") whereby the Lenders have committed to make loans to CCO Holdings in an aggregate amount of $600 million. Upon the issuance of $450 million of CCH II notes, the commitment under the Bridge Loan was reduced to $435 million. CCO Holdings may draw upon the facility between January 2, 2006 and September 29, 2006 and the loans will mature on the sixth anniversary of the first borrowing under the Bridge Loan.

Increased funding requirements from customer demand for digital video and high-speed Internet services, or the need to offer other advanced services in certain of our markets in order to compete effectively could make us further reliant

15

on our indirect parent companies’ ability to make loans and capital contributions to us. If we are unable to receive adequate financing to fund operations, our financial condition and results of operations could suffer materially.

No assurances can be given that we will not experience liquidity problems because of adverse market conditions, increased competition or other unfavorable events, or if we do not obtain sufficient additional financing on a timely basis as our debt becomes due. If, at any time, additional capital or borrowing capacity is required beyond amounts internally generated or available through our indirect parent companies’ existing credit facilities or in traditional debt or equity financings, we would consider:

· further reducing our expenses and capital expenditures, which may impair our ability to increase revenue;

· selling assets; or

· seeking funding, if available, from our indirect parent companies, including from the issuance of debt or equity by our indirect parent companies, including Charter, Charter Holdings, CCH I, LLC, CCH I Holdings, LLC, CCH II, CCO Holdings or Charter Operating, the proceeds of which could be loaned or contributed to us.

If the above strategies are not successful, ultimately, we could be forced to restructure our obligations or seek protection under the bankruptcy laws. In addition, if we find it necessary to engage in a recapitalization or other similar transaction, our noteholders might not receive all principal and interest payments to which they are contractually entitled.

Although, Paul G. Allen, Charter’s principal shareholder, and his affiliates have purchased equity from Charter and Charter Holdco in the past, there is no obligation for Mr. Allen or his affiliates to purchase equity or contribute or lend funds to us or to our indirect parent companies or subsidiaries. See “— Risk Factors.”

Historical Operating, Financing and Investing Activities

We held $0.3 million and $0.2 million in cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Operating Activities. Net cash provided by operating activities for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 was $19.0 million and $19.5 million, respectively. Operating activities provided $0.4 million less cash in 2005 than in 2004 primarily as a result of changes in operating assets and liabilities that used $10.5 million less cash during the year ended December 31, 2005 compared to the corresponding period in 2004 offset by a decrease in revenues over cash costs. The change in operating assets and liabilities was primarily due to an increase in payables to managers of cable systems as a result of the decrease in revenues related to hurricanes Katrina and Rita offset by an increase in accounts receivable as a result of delays in mailing invoices to customers affected by hurricanes Katrina and Rita.

Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 was $19.0 million and $19.5 million, respectively. Investing activities used $0.5 million less cash during the year ended December 31, 2005 than the corresponding period in 2004 primarily as a result of an increase in accrued expenses and payables to related party related to capital expenditures offset by an increase in purchases of property, plant and equipment related to replacement of plant and equipment damaged by hurricanes Katrina and Rita.

Capital Expenditures

We have significant ongoing capital expenditure requirements. Capital expenditures were $52.4 million and $19.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Capital expenditures increased as a result of capital costs associated with replacing plant and equipment related to hurricanes Katrina and Rita of $33.3 million, increased spending on support capital related to our investment in service improvements and scalable infrastructure related to VOD.

Our capital expenditures are funded primarily from cash flows from operating activities and receipt of cash from our indirect parent companies funded through borrowings under the Charter Operating credit facilities. In addition, during the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, our accrued expenses and payables to related parties related to capital expenditures increased $33.3 million and $0.3 million, respectively.

Capital expenditures are expected to decrease in 2006 compared to 2005. We expect that the nature of these

16

expenditures will continue to be composed primarily of purchases of customer premise equipment, support capital and for scalable infrastructure costs. We do not expect to incur significant additional capital expenditures associated with replacing plant and equipment related to Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. We expect to fund capital expenditures for 2006 primarily from cash flows from operating activities and receipt of cash from our indirect parent companies funded through borrowings under the Charter Operating credit facilities.

Indenture Restrictions and Covenants

The following description is a summary of certain material provisions of our notes. The summary does not restate the terms of the notes in their entirety, nor does it describe all terms of the notes. The instruments governing the notes are complicated and you should consult such instruments for more detailed information regarding our notes. Our notes are listed as exhibits to this annual report. Generally, these restrictions apply to us and to our restricted subsidiaries, which are currently all of our subsidiaries.

Change of Control. In the event of a specified change of control, we must offer to repurchase any then outstanding public notes at 101% of their principal amount or accreted value, as applicable, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. See “Risk Factors.”

Limitation on Indebtedness. The indenture contains a number of significant covenants that could adversely impact our business. In particular, our indenture restricts our and our subsidiaries’ ability to:

· incur additional debt;

· pay dividends on or repurchase equity interests;

· make investments;

· sell all or substantially all of our assets or merge with or into other companies;

· sell assets;

· enter into sale-leasebacks;

· in the case of restricted subsidiaries, create or permit to exist dividend or payment restrictions with respect to the bond issuers, guarantee the bond issuers’ debt, or issue specified equity interests;

· engage in certain transactions with affiliates; and

· grant liens.

The limitations on incurrence of debt permit us and our restricted subsidiaries to incur additional debt, so long as we are not in default under the indenture:

· if, after giving effect to the incurrence, we could meet a leverage ratio (ratio of consolidated debt to four times consolidated EBITDA, as defined, from the most recent quarter) of 6.75 to 1.0, and, regardless of whether the leverage ratio could be met,

· up to the greater of $200 million or 4.5 times our consolidated annualized EBITDA, as defined,

· up to an amount equal to 5% of our consolidated total assets to finance the purchase of new assets,

· up to two times the sum of (a) the net cash proceeds of new equity issuances and capital contributions, and (b) 80% of the fair market value of property received by us or an issuer as a capital contribution, in each case received after the issue date of our notes and not allocated to make restricted payments, and

· other items of indebtedness for specific purposes such as intercompany debt, refinancing of existing debt and interest rate swaps to provide protection against fluctuation in interest rates.

The indenture permits us to incur debt under one of the categories above, and reclassify the debt into a different category.

Under the indenture governing our notes, we and our restricted subsidiaries are permitted to pay dividends on equity interests, repurchase interests, make restricted investments, or make other specified restricted payments only if we could incur $1.00 of additional debt under the debt incurrence test, which requires that, after giving effect to the transaction, we meet the 6.75 to 1.0 leverage ratio of the indebtedness covenant and that no default exists or would occur as a consequence thereof. If those conditions are met, we and our restricted subsidiaries are permitted to make restricted payments in a total amount not to exceed the result of 100% of our consolidated EBITDA, as defined, minus 130% of our consolidated interest expense, plus 100% of new cash equity proceeds received by us and not allocated to the indebtedness covenant, plus returns on certain investments, all cumulatively from June 1998. We and our

17

restricted subsidiaries may make permitted investments up to $2 million in related businesses and other specified permitted investments, restricted payments up to $10 million, dividends up to 6% each year of the net cash proceeds of public equity offerings, and other specified restricted payments without meeting the foregoing test.

We and our restricted subsidiaries are not permitted to grant liens on their assets other than specified permitted liens, unless corresponding liens are granted to secure our notes. Permitted liens include liens securing debt permitted to be incurred under credit facilities, liens securing debt incurred under the incurrence of indebtedness test, in amounts up to the greater of $200 million or 4.5 times our consolidated EBITDA, as defined, liens as deposits for acquisitions up to 10% of the estimated purchase price, liens securing permitted financings of new assets, liens securing debt permitted to be incurred by restricted subsidiaries, and specified liens incurred in the ordinary course of business.

We and the issuers of our notes are generally not permitted to sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets or merge with or into other companies unless our consolidated net worth after any such transaction would be no greater than our consolidated net worth immediately prior to the transaction, or unless we could incur $1.00 of additional debt under the debt incurrence test, which would require us to meet a leverage ratio of 6.75 to 1.00 after giving effect to the transaction.

We and our subsidiaries may generally not otherwise sell assets or, in the case of subsidiaries, equity interests, unless we receive consideration at least equal to the fair market value of the assets, consisting of at least 75% cash, temporary cash investments or assumption of debt. Charter Holdings and its restricted subsidiaries (including us) are then required within 12 months after any asset sale either to commit to use the net cash proceeds over a specified threshold either to acquire assets used in their own or related businesses or use the net cash proceeds to repay debt, or to offer to repurchase our notes with any remaining proceeds.

We and our restricted subsidiaries may generally not engage in sale and leaseback transactions unless the lease term does not exceed three years or the proceeds are applied in accordance with the covenant limiting asset sales.

Our restricted subsidiaries may generally not enter into restrictions on our abilities to make dividends or distributions or transfer assets to us except those not more restrictive than is customary in comparable financings.

Our restricted subsidiaries are not permitted to guarantee or pledge assets to secure our debt or the debt of our restricted subsidiaries, unless the guarantying subsidiary issues a guarantee of our notes of comparable priority and tenor, and waives any rights of reimbursement, indemnity or subrogation arising from the guarantee transaction.

We and our restricted subsidiaries are generally not permitted to issue or sell equity interests in restricted subsidiaries, except sales of common stock of restricted subsidiaries so long as the proceeds of the sale are applied in accordance with the asset sale covenant, and issuances as a result of which the restricted subsidiary is no longer a restricted subsidiary and any remaining investment in that subsidiary is permitted by the covenant limiting restricted payments.

The indenture governing our notes also restricts our ability and the ability of our restricted subsidiaries to enter into certain transactions with affiliates involving consideration in excess of $2 million without a determination by the disinterested members of the board of directors that the transaction is on terms no less favorable than arm’s length, or transactions with affiliates involving over $4 million with affiliates without receiving an independent opinion as to the fairness of the transaction to us.

All of these covenants are subject to additional specified exceptions.

Our indenture includes various events of default. Under these provisions, a failure by us or any of our restricted subsidiaries to pay any indebtedness (other than under our notes) having a principal amount of $10 million or more (or any other default under any such indebtedness resulting in its acceleration) would result in an event of default under the indenture governing our notes.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In November 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 153, Exchanges of Non-monetary Assets — An Amendment of APB No. 29. This statement eliminates the exception to fair value for exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchange transactions that do not have commercial substance — that is, transactions that are not expected to result in significant changes in the cash flows of the reporting entity. We adopted this pronouncement effective April 1, 2005. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

In December 2004, the FASB issued the revised SFAS No. 123, Share-Based Payment, which addresses the accounting for share-based payment transactions in which a company receives employee services in exchange for (a) equity instruments of that company or (b) liabilities that are based on the fair value of the company’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of such equity instruments. This statement will be effective for us beginning January 1, 2006. Because we adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 on January 1, 2003, we do not expect this revised standard to have a material impact on our financial statements.

In March 2005, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 47, Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations. This interpretation clarifies that the term “conditional asset retirement obligation” as used in FASB Statement No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, refers to a legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing and/or method of settlement are conditional on a future event that may or may not be within the control of the entity. This pronouncement is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005. The adoption of this interpretation did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

We do not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on our accompanying financial statements.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk.

Not Applicable.

Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.

Our consolidated financial statements, the related notes thereto, and the reports of independent auditors are included in this annual report beginning on page F-1.

Separate financial statements for Capital have not been presented as Capital had no operations and substantially no assets or equity. Accordingly, management has determined that such financial statements are not material.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.

None.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.

Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures with respect to the information generated for use in this annual report. The evaluation was based in part upon reports and affidavits provided by a number of executives. Based upon, and as of the date of that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurances that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms.

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during 2005 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

19

In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance of achieving the desired control objectives and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based upon the above evaluation, our management believes that its controls do provide such reasonable assurance.

Item 9B. Other Information.

None.

PART III

Item 14. Principal Accounting Fees and Services.

Audit Fees

During the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, we incurred fees and related expenses for professional services rendered by KPMG LLP (“KPMG”) for the audits of our financial statements for the applicable year and for the review of our interim financial statements totaling approximately $138,000 and $67,000, respectively. We have derived these fees by allocating the KPMG fees associated with the audit of Charter and its subsidiaries, including us. The allocation is based on a ratio of our analog video customers to the total analog video customers of Charter.

Charter’s Audit Committee appoints, retains, compensates and oversees the registered public accountants (subject, if applicable, to board of director and/or shareholder ratification), and approves in advance all fees and terms for the audit engagement and non-audit engagements where non-audit services are not prohibited by Section 10A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, with registered public accountants. Pre-approvals of non-audit services are sometimes delegated to a single member of Charter’s Audit Committee. However, any pre-approvals made by Charter’s Audit Committee’s designee are presented at Charter’s Audit Committee’s next regularly scheduled meeting. Charter’s Audit Committee has an obligation to consult with management on these matters. Charter’s Audit Committee approved 100% of the KPMG fees for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004. Each year, including 2005, with respect to the proposed audit engagement, Charter’s Audit Committee reviews the proposed risk assessment process in establishing the scope of examination and the reports to be rendered.

In its capacity as a committee of Charter’s Board, Charter’s Audit Committee oversees the work of the registered public accounting firm (including resolution of disagreements between management and the public accounting firm regarding financial reporting) for the purpose of preparing or issuing an audit report or performing other audit, review or attest services. The registered public accounting firm reports directly to Charter’s Audit Committee. In performing its functions, Charter’s Audit Committee undertakes those tasks and responsibilities that, in its judgment, most effectively contribute to and implement the purposes of Charter’s Audit Committee charter. For more detail of Charter’s Audit Committee’s authority and responsibilities, see Charter’s Audit Committee charter set forth in Appendix A of its 2005 Proxy Statement filed with the SEC on August 4, 2005.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors

Renaissance Media Group, LLC:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Renaissance Media Group, LLC and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in member’s equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2005. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Renaissance Media Group, LLC and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2005, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

As discussed in Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements, effective September 30, 2004, the Company adopted EITF Topic D-108, Use of the Residual Method to Value Acquired Assets Other than Goodwill.

(dollars in thousands, except where indicated)

1. Organization and Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of Renaissance Media Group LLC (the “Company”) include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned finance subsidiaries, Renaissance Media (Louisiana) LLC (“Renaissance Louisiana”), Renaissance Media (Tennessee) LLC (“Renaissance Tennessee”) and Renaissance Media Capital Corporation (“Capital Corporation”). Renaissance Media LLC (“Media”) is owned 76% and 24% by Renaissance Louisiana and Renaissance Tennessee, respectively, and owns all of the operating assets of the consolidated group. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions among consolidated entities have been eliminated.

The Company is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Charter Communications Operating, LLC (“Charter Operating”), which provides funding to the Company as needed. Charter Operating is an indirect subsidiary of Charter Communications Holdings, LLC, which is an indirect subsidiary of Charter Communications, Inc. (“Charter”). The Company offers its customers traditional cable video programming (analog and digital video) as well as high-speed Internet services and, in some areas, advanced broadband services such as high definition television and video on demand. The Company sells its cable video programming, high-speed Internet and advanced broadband services on a subscription basis. The Company also sells local advertising on satellite-delivered networks.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management 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. Areas involving significant judgments and estimates include capitalization of labor and overhead costs; depreciation and amortization costs; impairments of property, plant and equipment and franchises; income taxes and contingencies. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the 2005 presentation.

2. Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company incurred losses from operations of $7.5 million and $15.0 million in 2005 and 2004, respectively, and recognized income from operations of $11.2 million in 2003. The Company’s net cash flows from operating activities were $19.0 million, $19.5 million and $14.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

The Company has historically required significant cash to fund debt service costs, capital expenditures and ongoing operations. Historically, the Company has funded these requirements through cash flows from operating activities and receipt of cash from our indirect parent companies funded through borrowings under the Charter Operating credit facilities. However, the mix of funding sources changes from period to period. For the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company generated $19.0 million of net cash flows from operating activities. In addition, the Company used $19.0 million for investing activities. The Company expects that cash on hand and cash flows from operating activities will be adequate to meet its cash needs in 2006.

The Company's long-term financing as of December 31, 2005 consists of $114.4 million principal amount of senior discount notes which become due in 2008. The Company expects that it will rely on capital contributions from its indirect parent companies to repay the principal amount of its notes at maturity. However, there can be no assurances that its indirect parent companies will have sufficient liquidity to satisfy this payment when due. As of December 31, 2005, the Company’s indirect parent companies have $19.4 billion of debt and may incur additional debt in the future. Cash flows from operating activities and amounts available under the Charter Operating credit facilities and the CCO Holdings, LLC ("CCO Holdings") Bridge Loan (described below) will not be sufficient to fund the Company’s and its parent companies’ operations and satisfy the company’s and its parent companies’ debt repayment and interest payment obligations in 2007 and beyond. The debt of each of the Company’s indirect parent companies’ has certain covenants which may restrict such Company’s ability to make distributions to their

F-7

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(dollars in thousands, except where indicated)

respective direct parent companies to satisfy future principal repayment obligations. In addition, a default under the covenants governing the Company's indenture could result in the acceleration of the Company's payment obligations under the Company's debt and, under certain circumstances, in cross-defaults under the Company's affiliates' debt obligations, which could adversely affect the Company's indirect parent companies' ability to provide us with funding.

In January 2006, the Company’s indirect parent companies, CCH II, LLC (“CCH II”) and CCH II Capital Corp. issued $450 million in debt securities, the proceeds of which were provided, directly or indirectly, to Charter Operating), which used such funds to reduce borrowings, but not commitments, under the revolving portion of its credit facilities.

In October 2005, the Company’s indirect parent companies, CCO Holdings and CCO Holdings Capital Corp., as guarantor thereunder, entered into a senior bridge loan agreement (the "Bridge Loan") with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Credit Suisse, Cayman Islands Branch and Deutsche Bank AG Cayman Islands Branch (the "Lenders") whereby the Lenders committed to make loans to CCO Holdings in an aggregate amount of $600 million. Upon the issuance of $450 million of CCH II notes discussed above, the commitment under the Bridge Loan was reduced to $435 million. CCO Holdings may draw upon the facility between January 2, 2006 and September 29, 2006 and the loans will mature on the sixth anniversary of the first borrowing under the Bridge Loan.

Because Charter is the Company's manager, any financial or liquidity problems of Charter could cause serious disruption to the Company's business and have a material adverse effect on its business and results of operations. Any such event could adversely impact the Company's own credit rating, and its relations with customers and suppliers, which could in turn further impair the Company's ability to obtain financing and operate its business. Further, to the extent that any such event results in a change of control of Charter (whether through a bankruptcy, receivership or other reorganization of Charter and/or Charter Holdco, or otherwise), it could result in an event of default under the Charter Operating credit facilities and would require a change of control repurchase offer under the Company’s outstanding notes.

3.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. These investments are carried at cost, which approximates market value.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost, including all material, labor and certain indirect costs associated with the construction of cable transmission and distribution facilities. While the Company’s capitalization is based on specific activities, once capitalized, costs are tracked by fixed asset category at the cable system level and not on a specific asset basis. Costs associated with initial customer installations and the additions of network equipment necessary to enable advanced services are capitalized. Costs capitalized as part of initial customer installations include materials, labor, and certain indirect costs. Indirect costs are associated with the activities of the Company’s personnel who assist in connecting and activating the new service and consist of compensation and indirect costs associated with these support functions. Indirect costs primarily include employee benefits and payroll taxes, direct variable costs associated with capitalizable activities, consisting primarily of installation and construction vehicle costs, the cost of dispatch personnel and indirect costs directly attributable to capitalizable activities. The costs of disconnecting service at a customer’s dwelling or reconnecting service to a previously installed dwelling are charged to operating expense in the period incurred. Costs for repairs and maintenance are charged to operating expense as incurred, while plant and equipment replacement and betterments, including replacement of cable drops from the pole to the dwelling, are capitalized.

F-8

RENAISSANCE MEDIA GROUP LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(dollars in thousands, except where indicated)

Depreciation is recorded using the straight-line composite method over management’s estimate of the useful lives of the related assets as follows:

Cable distribution systems	7-20 years
Customer equipment and installations	3-5 years
Vehicles and equipment	1-5 years
Buildings and leasehold improvements	5-15 years
Furniture, fixtures and equipment	5 years

Asset Retirement Obligations

Certain of the Company’s franchise agreements and leases contain provisions requiring the Company to restore facilities or remove equipment in the event that the franchise or lease agreement is not renewed. The Company expects to continually renew its franchise agreements and have concluded that substantially all of the related franchise rights are indefinite lived intangible assets. Accordingly, the possibility is remote that we would be required to incur significant restoration or removal costs related to these franchise agreements in the foreseeable future. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, as interpreted by FIN No. 47, Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations - an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 143, requires that a liability be recognized for an asset retirement obligation in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The Company has not recorded an estimate for potential franchise related obligations but would record an estimated liability in the unlikely event a franchise agreement containing such a provision were no longer expected to be renewed. The Company also expects to renew many of its lease agreements related to the continued operation of its cable business in the franchise areas. For the Company’s lease agreements, the liabilities related to the removal provisions, where applicable, have been recorded and are not significant to the financial statements.

Franchises

Franchise rights represent the value attributed to agreements with local authorities that allow access to homes in cable service areas acquired through the purchase of cable systems. Management estimates the fair value of franchise rights at the date of acquisition and determines if the franchise has a finite life or an indefinite life as defined by SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. All franchises that qualify for indefinite-life treatment under SFAS No. 142 are no longer amortized against earnings but instead are tested for impairment annually as of October 1, or more frequently as warranted by events or changes in circumstances (see Note 6). The Company concluded that 99% of its franchises qualify for indefinite-life treatment; however, certain franchises did not qualify for indefinite-life treatment due to technological or operational factors that limit their lives. These franchise costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over 10 years. Costs incurred in renewing cable franchises are deferred and amortized over 10 years.

Valuation of Property, Plant and Equipment

The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets to be held and used for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable using asset groupings consistent with those used to evaluate franchises. Such events or changes in circumstances could include such factors as impairment of the Company’s indefinite life franchise under SFAS No. 142, changes in technological advances, fluctuations in the fair value of such assets, adverse changes in relationships with local franchise authorities, adverse changes in market conditions or a deterioration of operating results. If a review indicates that the carrying value of such asset is not recoverable from estimated undiscounted cash flows, the carrying value of such asset is reduced to its estimated fair value. While the Company believes that its estimates of future cash flows are reasonable, different assumptions regarding such cash flows could materially affect its evaluations of asset recoverability. No impairment of long-lived assets to be held and used were recorded in 2005, 2004 and 2003.

Revenue Recognition

Revenues from residential and commercial video and high-speed Internet services are recognized when the related

F-9

RENAISSANCE MEDIA GROUP LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(dollars in thousands, except where indicated)

services are provided. Advertising sales are recognized at estimated realizable values in the period that the advertisements are broadcast. Local governmental authorities impose franchise fees on the Company ranging up to a federally mandated maximum of 5% of gross revenues as defined in the franchise agreement. Such fees are collected on a monthly basis from the Company’s customers and are periodically remitted to local franchise authorities. Franchise fees are reported as revenues on a gross basis with a corresponding operating expense.

Programming Costs

The Company’s parent companies negotiate and enter into programming agreements covering all of their subsidiaries, including the Company. These contracts allow the Company to obtain analog, digital and premium video programming from program suppliers whose compensation is typically based on a flat fee per customer. The cost of the right to exhibit network programming under such arrangements is recorded in operating expenses in the month the programming is available for exhibition. Programming costs are paid each month based on calculations performed by the Company and are subject to adjustment based on periodic audits performed by the programmers. Certain programming contracts contain launch incentives to be paid by the programmers. The Company receives these payments related to the activation of the programmer’s cable television channel and recognizes the launch incentives on a straight-line basis over the life of the programming agreement as a reduction of programming expense. This offset to programming expense was $1.1 million, $1.7 million and $1.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Programming costs included in the accompanying statement of operations were $31.8 million, $30.9 million and $27.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. As of December 31, 2005 and 2004, the deferred amount of launch incentives, included in other long-term liabilities, were $1.9 million and $2.8 million, respectively.

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs associated with marketing the Company’s products and services are generally expensed as costs are incurred. Such advertising expense was $2.0 million, $1.6 million and $1.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

Income Taxes

The Company is a single member limited liability company not subject to income tax. The Company holds all operations through indirect subsidiaries. The majority of these indirect subsidiaries are limited liability companies that are also not subject to income tax. A certain indirect subsidiary is a corporation that is subject to income tax, but has no operations and has not generated any taxable income since inception. Any taxable income that would be generated by the Company would be the responsibility of the Company’s equity owner. As such, the Company has not provided for income taxes in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Segments

SFAS No. 131, Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, established standards for reporting information about operating segments in annual financial statements and in interim financial reports issued to shareholders. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated on a regular basis by the chief operating decision maker, or decision making group, in deciding how to allocate resources to an individual segment and in assessing performance of the segment.

The Company’s operations are managed on the basis of geographic divisional operating segments. The Company has evaluated the criteria for aggregation of the geographic operating segments under paragraph 17 of SFAS No. 131 and believes it meets each of the respective criteria set forth. The Company delivers similar products and services within each of its geographic divisional operations. Each geographic and divisional service area utilizes similar means for delivering the programming of the Company’s services; have similarity in the type or class of customer receiving the products and services; distributes the Company’s services over a unified network; and operates within a consistent regulatory environment. In addition, each of the geographic divisional operating segments has similar economic characteristics. In light of the Company’s similar services, means for delivery,

F-10

(dollars in thousands, except where indicated)

similarity in type of customers, the use of a unified network and other considerations across its geographic divisional operating structure, management has determined that the Company has one reportable segment, broadband services.

4. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Activity in the allowance for doubtful accounts is summarized as follows for the years presented:

	Year Ended December 31,
	2005			2004			2003
Balance, beginning of year	$	234		$	172		$	278

Uncollected balances written off, net of recoveries		(1,605	)		(2,117	)		(1,422	)
Balance, end of year	$	1,104		$	234		$	172

5. Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment consists of the following as of December 31, 2005 and 2004:

	2005			2004
Cable distribution systems	$	192,749		$	160,736
Customer equipment and installations		84,599			77,498
Vehicles and equipment		8,243			7,129
Buildings and leasehold improvements		13,744			13,720
Furniture, fixtures and equipment		2,513			2,309
		301,848			261,392
Less: accumulated depreciation		(147,103	)		(120,986	)
	$	154,745		$	140,406

The Company periodically evaluates the estimated useful lives used to depreciate its assets and the estimated amount of assets that will be abandoned or have minimal use in the future. A significant change in assumptions about the extent or timing of future asset retirements, or in the Company’s use of new technology and upgrade programs, could materially affect future depreciation expense.

Depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 was $33.7 million, $35.3 million and $32.4 million, respectively.

6.Franchises

Franchise rights represent the value attributed to agreements with local authorities that allow access to homes in cable service areas acquired through the purchase of cable systems. Management estimates the fair value of franchise rights at the date of acquisition and determines if the franchise has a finite life or an indefinite-life as defined by SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Franchises that qualify for indefinite-life treatment under SFAS No. 142 are tested for impairment annually each October 1 based on valuations, or more frequently as warranted by events or changes in circumstances. Such test resulted in a total franchise impairment of approximately $21.0 million during the third quarter of 2004. The 2003 and 2005 annual impairment tests resulted in no impairment. Franchises are aggregated into essentially inseparable asset groups to conduct the valuations. The asset groups generally represent geographic clustering of the Company’s cable systems into groups by which such systems are managed. Management believes such grouping represents the highest and best use of those assets.

The Company’s valuations, which are based on the present value of projected after tax cash flows, result in a value of property, plant and equipment, franchises, customer relationships and its total entity value. The value of goodwill is the difference between the total entity value and amounts assigned to the other assets.

Franchises, for valuation purposes, are defined as the future economic benefits of the right to solicit and service potential customers (customer marketing rights), and the right to deploy and market new services such as interactivity to the potential customers (service marketing rights). Fair value is determined based on estimated discounted future cash flows using assumptions consistent with internal forecasts. The franchise after-tax cash flow is calculated as the after-tax cash flow generated by the potential customers obtained and the new services added to those customers in future periods. The sum of the present value of the franchises' after-tax cash flow in years 1 through 10 and the continuing value of the after-tax cash flow beyond year 10 yields the fair value of the franchise.

The Company follows the guidance of Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue 02-17, Recognition of Customer Relationship Intangible Assets Acquired in a Business Combination, in valuing customer relationships. Customer relationships, for valuation purposes, represent the value of the business relationship with existing customers and are calculated by projecting future after-tax cash flows from these customers including the right to deploy and market additional services such as interactivity to these customers. The present value of these after-tax cash flows yields the fair value of the customer relationships. Substantially all acquisitions occurred prior to January 1, 2002. The Company did not record any value associated with the customer relationship intangibles related to those acquisitions. For acquisitions subsequent to January 1, 2002 the Company did assign a value to the customer relationship intangible, which is amortized over its estimated useful life.

In September 2004, the SEC staff issued EITF Topic D-108 which requires the direct method of separately valuing all intangible assets and does not permit goodwill to be included in franchise assets. The Company adopted Topic D-108 in its impairment assessment as of September 30, 2004 that resulted in a total franchise impairment of approximately $26.7 million. The Company recorded a cumulative effect of accounting change of $5.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2004 representing the portion of the Company's total franchise impairment attributable to no longer including goodwill with franchise assets. The remaining $21.0 million of the total franchise impairment was attributable to the use of lower projected growth rates and the resulting revised estimates of future cash flows in the Company's valuation, and was recorded as impairment of franchises in the Company's accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2004. Sustained analog video customer losses by the Company in the third quarter of 2004 primarily as a result of increased competition from direct broadcast satellite providers and decreased growth rates in the Company's high-speed Internet customers in the third quarter of 2004, in part, as a result of increased competition from digital subscriber line service providers led to the lower projected growth rates and the revised estimates of future cash flows from those used at October 1, 2003.

Franchise amortization expense for each the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 was $0.1 million which represents the amortization relating to franchises that did not qualify for indefinite-life treatment under SFAS 142, including costs associated with franchise renewals. The Company expects that amortization expense on franchise assets will be approximately $0.1 million annually for each of the next five years. Actual amortization expense in future periods could differ from these estimates as a result of new intangible asset acquisitions or divestitures, changes in useful lives and other relevant factors.

million of credits to customers related to service outages thereby reducing revenue and accounts receivable during the year ended December 31, 2005.

The Company has insurance coverage for both property and business interruption. The Company has not recorded any potential insurance recoveries as it is still assessing the damage of its plant and the extent of insurance coverage.

14.Related Party Transactions

The following sets forth certain transactions in which the Company and the directors, executive officers and affiliates of the Company are involved. Unless otherwise disclosed, management believes that each of the transactions described below was on terms no less favorable to the Company than could have been obtained from independent third parties. For further information regarding related party transactions of the Company and Charter, refer to the annual report of Charter Holdings filed on Form 10-K with the SEC for the year ended December 31, 2005.

Charter Communications Holding Company (“Charter Holdco”) and Charter, both entities controlled by Paul G. Allen, provide management services for the cable systems owned or operated by the Company. The management services include such services as centralized customer billing services, data processing and related support, benefits administration and coordination of insurance coverage and self-insurance programs for medical, dental and workers’ compensation claims. Costs associated with providing these services are billed and charged directly to the Company and are included within operating costs in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. These costs are generally allocated based on the number of analog video customers. Such costs totaled $4.2 million for each of the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. All other costs incurred by Charter Holdco and Charter on behalf of the Company are considered a part of the management fee and are recorded as a component of selling, general and administrative expense, in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Management fees are stipulated in the management agreements between Charter Holdco, Charter and the Company. To the extent management fees charged to the Company are greater (less) than the expenses incurred by Charter Holdco and Charter, the Company records distributions to (capital contributions from) Charter Holdco and Charter. For the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, the management fee charged to the Company approximated $2.7 million, $2.1 million and $1.9 million, respectively.

Mr. Allen, the controlling shareholder of Charter, and a number of his affiliates have interests in various entities that provide services or programming to Charter’s subsidiaries. Given the diverse nature of Mr. Allen’s investment activities and interests, and to avoid the possibility of future disputes as to potential business, the Company may not, and may not allow its subsidiaries to, engage in any business transaction outside the cable transmission business except for certain existing approved investments. Charter or its subsidiaries, including the Company, are not permitted to pursue, or allow their subsidiaries to pursue, a business transaction outside of this scope, unless Mr. Allen consents to Charter or its subsidiaries, including the Company, engaging in the business transaction. The cable transmission business means the business of transmitting video, audio, including telephone, and data over cable systems owned, operated or managed by Charter or its subsidiaries, including the Company, from time to time.

Mr. Allen or his affiliates own or have owned equity interests or warrants to purchase equity interests in various entities with which the Company does business or which provides it with products, services or programming. Among these entities are TechTV L.L.C. (“TechTV”), Oxygen Media Corporation (“Oxygen Media”), Digeo, Inc., Click2learn, Inc., Trail Blazer Inc., Action Sports Cable Network (“Action Sports”) and Microsoft Corporation. In May 2004, TechTV was sold to an unrelated third party. Mr. Allen owns 100% of the equity of Vulcan Ventures Incorporated (“Vulcan Ventures”) and Vulcan Inc. and is the president of Vulcan Ventures. Ms. Jo Allen Patton is a director and the President and Chief Executive Officer of Vulcan Inc. and is a director and Vice President of Vulcan Ventures. Mr. Lance Conn is Executive Vice President of Vulcan Inc. and Vulcan Ventures. Mr. Savoy was a vice president and a director of Vulcan Ventures until his resignation in September 2003 and he resigned as a director of Charter in April 2004. The various cable, media, Internet and telephone companies in which Mr. Allen has invested may mutually benefit one another. The Company can give no assurance, nor should you expect, that any of these business relationships will be successful, that the Company will realize any benefits from these relationships or that the Company will enter into any business relationships in the future with Mr. Allen’s affiliated companies.

(dollars in thousands, except where indicated)

Mr. Allen and his affiliates have made, and in the future likely will make, numerous investments outside of the Company and its business. The Company cannot assure that, in the event that the Company or any of its subsidiaries enter into transactions in the future with any affiliate of Mr. Allen, such transactions will be on terms as favorable to the Company as terms it might have obtained from an unrelated third party. Also, conflicts could arise with respect to the allocation of corporate opportunities between the Company and Mr. Allen and his affiliates. The Company has not instituted any formal plan or arrangement to address potential conflicts of interest.

The Company received or receives programming for broadcast via its cable systems from TechTV (now G4), Oxygen Media and Trail Blazers Inc. The Company pays a fee for the programming service generally based on the number of customers receiving the service. Such fees for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 were each less than 1% of total operating expenses.

15. Commitments and Contingencies

Leases

The Company leases certain facilities and equipment under noncancelable operating leases. Leases and rental costs charged to expense for each of the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, were approximately $0.1 million. As of December 31, 2005, future minimum lease payments are as follows:

Year ended December 31,	Amount
2006	$86
2007	77
2008	74
2009	27
2010	17
Thereafter	58

The Company also rents utility poles used in its operations. Generally, pole rentals are cancelable on short notice, but the Company anticipates that such rentals will recur. Rent expense incurred for pole rental attachments for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, was approximately $1.3 million, $1.3 million and $1.2 million, respectively.

The Company pays franchise fees under multi-year franchise agreements based on a percentage of revenues earned from video service per year. The Company also pays other franchise related costs, such as public education grants, under multi-year agreements. Franchise fees and other franchise related costs included in the accompanying statement of operations were approximately $3.8 million, $4.2 million and $4.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

The Company’s parent companies negotiate and enter into programming agreements covering all of their subsidiaries, including the Company. The Company pays programming fees under multi-year contracts ranging from three to six years typically based on a flat fee per customer, which may be fixed for the term or may in some cases, escalate over the term. Programming costs included in the accompanying statement of operations were $31.8 million, $30.9 million and $27.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

Litigation

Securities Class Actions and Derivative Suits

In 2002 and 2003, Charter had a series of lawsuits filed against Charter and certain of its former and present officers and directors (collectively the “Actions”). In general, the lawsuits alleged that Charter utilized misleading accounting practices and failed to disclose these accounting practices and/or issued false and misleading financial statements and press releases concerning Charter’s operations and prospects.

(dollars in thousands, except where indicated)

Charter and the individual defendants entered into a Memorandum of Understanding on August 5, 2004 setting forth agreements in principle regarding settlement of the Actions. Charter and various other defendants in those actions subsequently entered into Stipulations of Settlement dated as of January 24, 2005, setting forth a settlement of the Actions in a manner consistent with the terms of the Memorandum of Understanding. On June 30, 2005, the Court issued its final approval of the settlements. At the end of September 2005, after the period for appeals of the settlements expired, Stipulations of Dismissal were filed with the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals resulting in the dismissal of the two appeals with prejudice. Procedurally therefore, the settlements are final.

As amended, the Stipulations of Settlement provided that, in exchange for a release of all claims by plaintiffs against Charter and its former and present officers and directors named in the Actions, Charter would pay to the plaintiffs a combination of cash and equity collectively valued at $144.0 million, which was to include the fees and expenses of plaintiffs’ counsel. Of this amount, $64.0 million was to be paid in cash (by Charter’s insurance carriers) and the $80.0 million balance was to be paid in shares of Charter Class A common stock having an aggregate value of $40.0 million and ten-year warrants to purchase shares of Charter Class A common stock having an aggregate warrant value of $40.0 million, with such values in each case being determined pursuant to formulas set forth in the Stipulations of Settlement. However, Charter had the right, in its sole discretion, to substitute cash for some or all of the aforementioned securities on a dollar for dollar basis. Pursuant to that right, Charter elected to fund the $80.0 million obligation with 13.4 million shares of Charter Class A common stock (having an aggregate value of approximately $15.0 million pursuant to the formula set forth in the Stipulations of Settlement) with the remaining balance (less an agreed upon $1.6 million discount in respect of that portion allocable to plaintiffs’ attorneys’ fees) to be paid in cash. In addition, Charter had agreed to issue additional shares of its Class A common stock to its insurance carrier having an aggregate value of $5.0 million; however, by agreement with its carrier, Charter paid $4.5 million in cash in lieu of issuing such shares. As a result, in 2004, the Company recorded a $2.1 million special charge on its consolidated statement of operations related to its portion of the expense allocation. Charter delivered the settlement consideration to the claims administrator on July 8, 2005, and it was held in escrow pending resolution of the appeals. Those appeals are now resolved.

In October 2001 and 2002, two class action lawsuits were filed against Charter alleging that Charter Holdco improperly charged them a wire maintenance fee without request or permission. They also claimed that Charter Holdco improperly required them to rent analog and/or digital set-top terminals even though their television sets were “cable ready.” In April 2004, the parties participated in a mediation which resulted in settlement of the lawsuits. As a result of the settlement, the Company recorded a special charge of $0.2 million its consolidated statement of operations in 2004. In December 2004 the court entered a written order formally approving that settlement.

Furthermore, Charter is also party to other lawsuits and claims that arose in the ordinary course of conducting its business. In the opinion of management, after taking into account recorded liabilities, the outcome of these other lawsuits and claims are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or its liquidity.

Regulation in the Cable Industry

The operation of a cable system is extensively regulated by the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”), some state governments and most local governments. The FCC has the authority to enforce its regulations through the imposition of substantial fines, the issuance of cease and desist orders and/or the imposition of other administrative sanctions, such as the revocation of FCC licenses needed to operate certain transmission facilities used in connection with cable operations. The 1996 Telecom Act altered the regulatory structure governing the nation’s communications providers. It removed barriers to competition in both the cable television market and the local telephone market. Among other things, it reduced the scope of cable rate regulation and encouraged additional competition in the video programming industry by allowing local telephone companies to provide video programming in their own telephone service areas.

Future legislative and regulatory changes could adversely affect the Company’s operations, including, without limitation, additional regulatory requirements the Company may be required to comply with as it offers new services such as telephone.

16.Employee Benefit Plan

The Company’s employees may participate in the Charter Communications, Inc. 401(k) Plan. Employees that qualify for participation can contribute up to 50% of their salary, on a pre-tax basis, subject to a maximum contribution limit as determined by the Internal Revenue Service. The Company matches 50% of the first 5% of participant contributions. The Company made contributions to the 401(k) plan totaling $0.1 million for each of the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003.

17.Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, Exchanges of Non-monetary Assets — An Amendment of APB No. 29. This statement eliminates the exception to fair value for exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchange transactions that do not have commercial substance — that is, transactions that are not expected to result in significant changes in the cash flows of the reporting entity. We adopted this pronouncement effective April 1, 2005. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

In December 2004, the FASB issued the revised SFAS No. 123, Share — Based Payment, which addresses the accounting for share-based payment transactions in which a company receives employee services in exchange for (a) equity instruments of that company or (b) liabilities that are based on the fair value of the company’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of such equity instruments. This statement will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2006. Because the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 on January 1, 2003, the Company does not expect this revised standard to have a material impact on its financial statements.

In March 2005, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 47, Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations. This interpretation clarifies that the term “conditional asset retirement obligation” as used in FASB Statement No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, refers to a legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing and/or method of settlement are conditional on a future event that may or may not be within the control of the entity. This pronouncement is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005. The adoption of this interpretation did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

The Company does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s accompanying financial statements.

18. Subsequent Events

On March 13, 2006, the Company exchanged $37.2 million of its 10% senior discount notes due 2008 for $37.4 million principal amount of new Charter Operating 8 3/8% senior second-lien notes due 2014 issued in a private transaction under Rule 144A. The terms and conditions of the new Charter Operating 8 3/8% senior second-lien notes due 2014 are identical to Charter Operating’s currently outstanding 8 3/8% senior second-lien notes due 2014.
