ITEM 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
On November 8, 2002, Enstar Cable of Cumberland Valley, a joint venture owned 50% Enstar Income/Growth Program Five-B, L.P. (the "Partnership"), entered into an asset purchase agreement providing for the sale of the Pomme de Terre, Missouri headend to Telecommunications Management, LLC (Telecommunications Management). On September 11, 2003, the asset purchase agreement closed for a total sale pric (adjusted for decreases in customers) of approximately $410,900 (approximately $550 per customer acquired), subject to post closing adjustments. This sale was part of a larger transaction in which the Joint Venture and nine other affiliated partnerships (which, together with the Joint Venture are collectively referred to as the "Selling Partnerships") sold all of their remaining assets used in the operation of their respective cable systems to Telecommunications Management for a total cash sale price of approximately $12,576,400 (the Telecommunications Management Sale). The closing of the purchase agreement was effective as of August 31, 2003.
The Corporate General Partner's intention is to terminate the Partnership as expeditiously as possible. After paying or providing for the payment of the expenses of the sale, the Corporate General Partner will make one or more distributions of the Partnership's allocable share of the remaining net sale proceeds, in accordance with its partnership agreement. The Partnership intends to make an initial distribution payment to its limited partners within 90 days following the sale. A second distribution will occur on or after approximately 13 months following the close of the transaction upon the release of the indemnity escrow and the receipt of the remaining proceeds of such escrow if any.
ITEM 7. Financial Statements, ProForma Financial Information and Exhibits.
