NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2000
A. Organization
Insight Midwest, L.P. ("Insight Midwest" or the "Company") was formed in
September 1999 to serve as the holding company and a financing vehicle for
Insight's cable television system joint ventures with an affiliate of AT&T
Broadband, LLC (formerly Tele-Communications, Inc.) ("AT&T Broadband"). Insight
Midwest is owned 50% by Insight Communications Company, Inc. ("Insight Inc."),
through its subsidiary Insight Communications Company, L.P. ("Insight L.P."),
and 50% by TCI of Indiana Holdings, LLC ("TCI"), an indirect subsidiary of AT&T
Broadband. On October 1, 1999 Insight Midwest issued $200.0 million of 9 3/4%
Senior Notes due 2009 with Insight Capital, Inc., as co-issuer, a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Insight Midwest. On October 1, 1999 the Indiana and Kentucky
systems and operations were consolidated under Insight Midwest, as described
further below. Through its operating subsidiaries Insight Indiana and Insight
Kentucky (defined below), Insight Midwest owns and operates cable television
systems in Indiana and Kentucky which passed approximately 1.2 million homes and
served approximately 734,000 customers as of June 30, 2000.
Insight Indiana
On October 31, 1998 Insight L.P. and TCI contributed certain of their cable
television systems located in Indiana and Northern Kentucky (the "Indiana
systems") to Insight Communications of Indiana, LLC ("Insight Indiana") in
exchange for 50% equity interests therein. The cable television systems
contributed to Insight Indiana by Insight L.P. included the Jasper and
Evansville systems that were acquired by Insight L.P. from TCI on October 31,
1998 and the Noblesville, Jeffersonville and Lafayette systems already owned by
Insight L.P. (the "Insight Contributed Systems"). Insight L.P. entered into a
management agreement with Insight Indiana, pursuant to which Insight L.P. agreed
to manage the Indiana systems for an annual fee of 3% of the gross revenues of
the Indiana systems. On October 1, 1999, as part of a joint venture
restructuring, Insight Indiana became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Insight
Midwest and amended its management agreement with Insight L.P., confirming the
3% management fee. In addition to managing the day-to-day operations of the
Indiana systems, Insight L.P. is the general partner and therefore effectively
controls Insight Midwest. Therefore, subject to certain matters that require
TCI's approval as specified in Insight Midwest's partnership agreement, Insight
L.P. controls Insight Indiana, including all of the operating and financial
decisions pertaining to the Indiana systems. Pursuant to their terms of
respective governing agreements, the terms of Insight Midwest and Insight
Indiana will continue for twelve years through October 1, 2011, unless extended
by Insight L.P. and TCI.
Insight Indiana's systems passed approximately 502,000 homes and served
approximately 316,000 customers as of June 30, 2000.

A. Organization (continued)
Insight Kentucky
On October 1, 1999, Insight, L.P. acquired a combined 50% interest in
InterMedia Capital Partners VI, L.P. (the "IPVI Partnership") from related
parties of Blackstone Cable Acquisition Company, LLC, related parties of
InterMedia Capital Management VI, LLC and a subsidiary and related party of AT&T
Broadband, for approximately $341.5 million (inclusive of expenses) and Insight
Midwest assumed debt of approximately $742.1 million. The IPVI Partnership,
through several intermediary partnerships, owned and operated cable television
systems in four major markets in Kentucky: Louisville, Lexington, Bowling Green
and Covington (the "Kentucky systems"). On October 1, 1999, concurrently with
this acquisition, the Kentucky systems were contributed to Insight Midwest. As a
result of the IPVI Partnership's historical ownership structure, the Kentucky
systems are owned and operated by Insight Kentucky Partners II, L.P. ("Insight
Kentucky"), a third-tier subsidiary partnership of Insight Midwest. Also on
October 1, 1999, Insight L.P. entered into a management agreement with Insight
Kentucky, pursuant to which Insight L.P. manages the Kentucky systems in
consideration for a 3% management fee. Similar to Insight Indiana, subject to
certain matters that require TCI's approval as specified in Insight Midwest's
partnership agreement, Insight L.P. effectively controls Insight Kentucky,
including all of the operating and financial decisions pertaining to the
Kentucky systems. Insight Kentucky and each of the other Kentucky partnerships
also have twelve-year terms through October 1, 2011, unless extended by Insight
L.P. and TCI.
The assets of Insight Kentucky have been valued based on the purchase price
and have been preliminarily allocated between fixed and intangible assets based
on management's evaluation of each individual operating system including such
factors as the age of the cable plant, the progress of rebuilds and franchise
relations. This resulted in a step-up in the carrying values of fixed assets of
approximately $160.3 million and intangible assets of approximately $272.1
million. Fixed assets are being depreciated over their estimated useful lives
and intangible assets are amortized over 15 years.
Insight Kentucky's systems passed approximately 709,000 homes and served
approximately 418,000 customers as of June 30, 2000.

B. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation
S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes
required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal
recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been
included. Operating results for the three and six month periods ended June 30,
2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the
year ending December 31, 2000.
The balance sheet at December 31, 1999 has been derived from the audited
financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information
and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements.
For further information, refer to the Company's financial statements and
footnotes thereto for the year ended December 31, 1999, included in the
Company's Registration Statement on Form S-4.
C. Significant Accounting Policies
Recent Accounting Policies
In June 1998, the FASB issued Statement No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS No. 133"). SFAS No. 133, as amended
by SFAS No. 137, is effective for all fiscal years beginning after June 15,
2000. SFAS No. 133 will require the company to recognize all derivatives on the
balance sheet at fair value. Although management has not completed its
assessment of the impact of this standard on its results of operations and
financial position, management does not anticipate that the adoption of this
statement will be material.
Change in Estimate
Effective January 1, 2000 the Company changed the estimated useful lives of
fixed assets which related to the Company's current rebuild program. The
changes in estimated useful lives were made to reflect managements' evaluation
of the economic lives of the newer rebuilt plant. This change was made on a
prospective basis and resulted in an increase in net income for the three and
six months ended June 30, 2000 of approximately $3.8 and $6.8 million,
respectively.

E. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is a party to or may be affected by various matters under

F. Recent Developments
Greenwood Letter of Intent
On March 21, 2000, Insight Midwest entered into a letter of intent with
Cable One, Inc., a subsidiary of The Washington Post Company, for the
acquisition of a cable television system serving approximately 16,000 customers
in Greenwood, Indiana. The acquisition of the Greenwood system would occur upon
completion of a proposed trade of systems between Cable One and AT&T Broadband.
The transaction is subject to the negotiation and execution of definitive
agreements.
Telephony Agreements
On July 17, 2000, Insight Indiana, Insight Kentucky and other affiliates of
Insight Inc. entered into definitive agreements with AT&T Broadband, LLC for the
provision by AT&T Broadband of all-distance telephone service utilizing the
cable systems' infrastructure under the AT&T brand name. Telephony revenues are
to be attributed to AT&T Broadband who, in turn, will pay the cable affiliate a
monthly per line access fee. AT&T Broadband will also pay the cable affiliate
for marketing, installation and billing support. AT&T Broadband would be
required to install and maintain the necessary switching equipment, and would be
the local exchange carrier of record. It is expected that the cable affiliates
will market the telephone services both independently and as part of a bundle of
services.

Expansion of Insight Midwest
On March 23, 2000, Insight entered into a letter of intent with AT&T
Broadband for the contribution to Insight Midwest of additional cable
television systems serving approximately 537,000 customers. Initially, Insight
will exchange its Claremont, California system for a system in Freeport,
Illinois. Insight will also purchase from AT&T Broadband systems serving
approximately 100,000 customers in North Central Illinois. Concurrently with
this purchase, Insight will contribute to Insight Midwest such newly purchased
systems, as well as all of its other systems not already owned by Insight
Midwest, including the aforementioned Freeport, Illinois swap (comprising in
total approximately 187,000 customers). At the same time, AT&T Broadband will
contribute to Insight Midwest systems located in Central and North Central
Illinois serving approximately 250,000 customers. Both Insight and AT&T
Broadband will contribute their respective systems to Insight Midwest subject
to an agreed-upon amount of indebtedness so that Insight Midwest will remain
equally owned by Insight and AT&T Broadband. Insight will continue to serve as
general partner of Insight Midwest and manage and operate Insight Midwest's
systems. The transactions are subject to the negotiations and execution of
definitive agreements.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
Forward Looking Statements
Some of the information in this quarterly report contains forward-looking
statements that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. You can identify
these statements by forward-looking words such as "may," "will," "expect,"
"anticipate," "believe," "estimate," and "continue" or similar words. You should
read statements that contain these words carefully because they:
. discuss our future expectations;
. contain projections of our future results of operations or of our financial
condition; or
. state other "forward-looking" information.
We believe it is important to communicate our expectations to our
investors. However, there may be events in the future that we are not able to
accurately predict or over which we have no control. The risk factors listed in
our most recent registration statement, as well as any cautionary language in
this quarterly report, provide examples of risks, uncertainties and events that
may cause our actual results to differ materially from the expectations we
describe in our forward-looking statements. You should be aware that the
occurrence of the events described in these risk factors and elsewhere in this
quarterly report could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating
results and financial condition.
Introduction
Because of corporate transactions completed over the past three years,
including the contribution agreement with an affiliate of AT&T Broadband with
respect to the Indiana systems and the Kentucky acquisition, we do not believe
the discussion and analysis of our historical financial condition and results of
operations below are indicative of our future performance.
On October 31, 1998 our manager exchanged its Utah systems for AT&T
Broadband's Evansville, Indiana system. Simultaneously, our manager completed a
contribution agreement with AT&T Broadband forming Insight Indiana and
contributed certain of its Indiana systems, the Noblesville, Lafayette and
Jeffersonville systems (the "Insight Contributed Systems"), as well as the
Evansville system to Insight Indiana. At the same time, AT&T Broadband
contributed most of its Indiana systems to Insight Indiana.
On October 1, 1999, our manager acquired a combined 50% interest in
InterMedia Capital Partners VI, L.P. (the "IPVI Partnership") from related
parties of Blackstone Cable Acquisition Company, LLC, related parties of
InterMedia Capital Management VI, LLC and a subsidiary and related party of AT&T
Broadband, for approximately $341.5 million (inclusive of expenses), and we
assumed debt of approximately $742.1 million.
On October 1, 1999, our manager completed an agreement with affiliates of
10
AT&T Broadband, pursuant to which our manager and affiliates of AT&T Broadband
each contributed their respective 50% interests in Insight Indiana and in
Insight Kentucky in exchange for a 50% interest in Insight Midwest, L.P.
General
Substantially all of our historical revenues of each of our systems were
earned from customer fees for cable television programming services including
premium and pay-per-view services and ancillary services, such as rental of
converters and remote control devices and installations and from selling
advertising. In addition, we earned revenues from commissions for products sold
through home shopping networks.
We have generated increases in revenues and EBITDA for each of the past
three fiscal years, primarily through internal customer growth, increases in
monthly revenue per customer and growth in advertising.
Results of Operations
As Insight Indiana is the predecessor of Insight Midwest, the following
discussion includes the results of operations of Insight Indiana for the three
and six months ended June 30, 1999 and the results of Insight Midwest for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2000. The following table reflects these
results of operations:

Three Months Ended June 30, 2000 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 1999
Revenues increased 162.3% to $94.7 million for the three months ended June
30, 2000 compared to $36.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 1999.
11
The results were impacted by the acquisition of Insight Kentucky on October 1,
1999. The incremental revenue generated from the Kentucky systems approximated
$57.6 million accounting for 98.3% of the consolidated revenue increase. In
addition, revenues increased as a result of internal customer growth, rate
increases and growth in advertising revenues.
Revenues per customer per month averaged $42.63 for the three months ended
June 30, 2000 compared to $37.24 for the three months ended June 30, 1999. The
increase is primarily attributable to customer rate increases as Insight Indiana
turned on nodes in rebuilt areas resulting in higher basic rates.
Programming and other operating costs increased 244.4% to $33.5 million for
the three months ended June 30, 2000 compared to $9.7 million for the three
months ended June 30, 1999. The Kentucky systems accounted for approximately
88.6% or approximately $21.1 million of the total increase. Excluding these
systems, these costs increased by approximately $2.7 million accounting for
11.3% of the total increase, primarily as a result of increased programming
rates and additional programming carried by our systems.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 109.2% to $14.5
million for the three months ended June 30, 2000 compared to $6.9 million for
the three months ended June 30, 1999. The Kentucky systems accounted for
approximately 105.2% or approximately $8.0 million of the total increase,
partially offset by a decrease in Insight Indiana general corporate expenses.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased 124.3% to $48.1 million for
the three months ended June 30, 2000 compared to $21.4 million for the three
months ended June 30, 1999. This increase was primarily due to the acquisitions
of the cable systems discussed above and additional capital expenditures
associated with the rebuilds of our systems, partially offset by a decrease in
depreciation expense attributable to a change in estimate as of January 1, 2000
which resulted in assets being depreciated over longer lives.
For the three months ended June 30, 2000, an operating loss of $4.1 million
was incurred as compared to $3.1 million for the three months ended June 30,
1999, for reasons set forth above.
EBITDA increased 139.8% to $44.0 million for the three months ended June
30, 2000 as compared to $18.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 1999
primarily reflecting the acquisition of the Kentucky systems. EBITDA represents
earnings (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Our
management believes that EBITDA is commonly used in the cable television
industry to analyze and compare cable television companies on the basis of
operating performance, leverage and liquidity. However, EBITDA is not intended
to be a performance measure that should be regarded as an alternative to, or
more meaningful than, either operating income or net income as an indicator of
operating performance or cash flows as a measure of liquidity, as determined in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. EBITDA, as computed by
management, is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled amounts of other
companies.
12
Interest expense increased 214.9% to $26.9 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2000 compared to $8.5 million for the three months ended June 30,
1999. The increase was primarily due to higher average outstanding indebtedness
related to the acquisitions. Average debt outstanding during the three months
ended June 30, 2000 was $1.3 billion at an average interest rate of 8.5%.
For the three months ended June 30, 2000 a net loss of $30.9 million was
realized for the reasons set forth above.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2000 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 1999
Revenues increased 161.0% to $187.2 million for the six months ended June
30, 2000 compared to $71.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999. The
results were impacted by the acquisition of Insight Kentucky on October 1, 1999.
The incremental revenue generated from the Kentucky systems approximated $114.0
million accounting for 98.7% of the consolidated revenue increase. In addition,
revenues increased as a result of rate increases and growth in advertising
revenues.
Revenues per customer per month averaged $42.08 for the six months ended
June 30, 2000 compared to $37.29 for the six months ended June 30, 1999. The
increase is primarily attributable to customer rate increases as Insight Indiana
turned on nodes in rebuilt areas resulting in higher basic rates.
Programming and other operating costs increased 221.5% to $64.9 million for
the six months ended June 30, 2000 compared to $20.2 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1999. The Kentucky systems accounted for approximately 90.9% or
approximately $40.7 million of the total increase. Excluding these systems,
these costs increased by approximately $4.0 million accounting for 9.0% of the
total increase, primarily as a result of increased programming rates and
additional programming carried by our systems.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 135.0% to $32.1
million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 compared to $13.7 million for the
six months ended June 30, 1999. The Kentucky systems accounted for
approximately 100.0% of the total increase.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased 116.8% to $94.2 million for
the six months ended June 30, 2000 compared to $43.4 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1999. This increase was primarily due to the acquisitions of the
cable systems discussed above and additional capital expenditures associated
with the rebuilds of our systems, partially offset by a decrease in depreciation
expense attributable to a change in estimate as of January 1, 2000 which
resulted in assets being depreciated over longer lives.
For the six months ended June 30, 2000, an operating loss of $9.3 million
was incurred as compared to $7.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999,
for reasons set forth above.
13
EBITDA increased 137.8% to $84.9 million for the six months ended June 30,
2000 as compared to $35.7 for the six months ended June 30, 1999 primarily
reflecting the acquisition of the Kentucky systems. EBITDA represents earnings
(loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Our management
believes that EBITDA is commonly used in the cable television industry to
analyze and compare cable television companies on the basis of operating
performance, leverage and liquidity. However, EBITDA is not intended to be a
performance measure that should be regarded as an alternative to, or more
meaningful than, either operating income or net income as an indicator of
operating performance or cash flows as a measure of liquidity, as determined in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. EBITDA, as computed by
management, is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled amounts of other
companies.
Interest expense increased 213.7% to $52.6 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2000 compared to $16.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999.
The increase was primarily due to higher average outstanding indebtedness
related to the acquisitions. Average debt outstanding during the six months
ended June 30, 2000 was $1.2 billion at an average interest rate of 8.4%.
For the six months ended June 30, 2000 a net loss of $61.8 million was
realized for the reasons set forth above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our business requires cash for operations, debt service, capital
expenditures and acquisitions. The cable television business has substantial on-
going capital requirements for the construction, expansion and maintenance of
its broadband networks. Expenditures have primarily been used to rebuild and
upgrade our existing cable network, and in the future will be used for plant
extensions, new services, converters and system rebuilds. Historically, we have
been able to meet our cash requirements with cash flow from operations and
borrowings under our credit facilities. We believe we have adequate liquidity
to operate our business plan, including making our planned capital expenditures.
The completion of our recently announced acquisitions (discussed below under
"Recent Developments") will require additional financing.
For the six months ended June 30, 2000 and June 30, 1999, we spent $86.5
million and $31.1 million, respectively, in capital expenditures largely to
support our plant rebuild, digital converter purchases and to a lesser extent
network extensions. For the six months ended June 30, 2000 and June 30, 1999,
cash from operations totaled $21.0 million and $29.9 million, which together
with borrowings under our credit facilities, funded the above noted capital
expenditures.
It is anticipated that during 2000, we will have approximately $192.4
million of capital expenditures, exclusive of any capital expenditures required
for the deployment of telephony. Included in the planned 2000 capital
expenditures is $101.1 million for the upgrade of most of our Indiana and
Kentucky cable television systems, which will involve the wide deployment of
14
fiber optics and other capital projects associated with implementing our
clustering strategy. The amount of such capital expenditures for years
subsequent to 2000 will depend on numerous factors including the level of
success in deploying our new services which will impact the amount of capital we
will need for digital converters and other network service infrastructure to
support demand for new products and services.
At June 30, 2000, we had indebtedness of approximately $1.3 billion,
including $1.1 billion outstanding under senior bank credit facilities. The
senior credit facilities consisted of:
. $550.0 million reducing revolver credit/term facility, maturing in December
2006, which supports our Indiana systems, of which $487.0 million was
borrowed; and
. $675.0 million reducing revolving credit/term loan facility, maturing in
October 2006, which supports our Kentucky systems, of which $594.0 million
was borrowed.
The weighted average interest rates for amounts outstanding under the
senior credit facilities at June 30, 2000 were 8.6% and 8.7% for Insight Indiana
and Insight Kentucky, respectively. The facilities contain covenants
restricting, among other things, our ability to make capital expenditures,
acquire or dispose of assets, make investments and engage in transactions with
related parties. The facilities also require compliance with certain financial
ratios, require us to enter into interest rate protection agreements and contain
customary events of default.
On October 1, 1999, in connection with our formation, we completed an
offering of $200.0 million principal amount of our 9 3/4% senior notes due 2009.
The net proceeds of the offering were used to repay certain outstanding debt of
the Kentucky systems. Interest on the notes is payable on April 1 and October 1
of each year, which commenced April, 2000. The indenture relating to the senior
notes imposes certain limitations on our ability to, among other things, incur
debt, make distributions, make investments and sell assets.
Recent Developments
Greenwood Letter of Intent
On March 21, 2000, Insight Midwest entered into a letter of intent with
Cable One, Inc., a subsidiary of The Washington Post Company, for the
acquisition of a cable television system serving approximately 16,000 customers
in Greenwood, Indiana. The acquisition of the Greenwood system would occur upon
completion of a proposed trade of systems between Cable One and AT&T Broadband.
The transaction is subject to the negotiation and execution of definitive
agreements.
Telephony Agreements
On July 17, 2000, Insight Indiana, Insight Kentucky and other affiliates of
Insight Inc. entered into definitive agreements with AT&T Broadband, LLC for the
provision by AT&T Broadband of all-distance telephone service utilizing the
cable systems' infrastructure under the AT&T brand name.
15
Telephony revenues are to be attributed to AT&T Broadband who, in turn, will pay
the cable affiliate a monthly per line access fee. AT&T Broadband will also pay
the cable affiliate for marketing, installation and billing support. AT&T
Broadband would be required to install and maintain the necessary switching
equipment, and would be the local exchange carrier of record. It is expected
that the cable affiliates will market the telephone services both independently
and as part of a bundle of services.
Expansion of Insight Midwest
On March 23, 2000, Insight entered into a letter of intent with AT&T
Broadband for the contribution to Insight Midwest of additional cable television
systems serving approximately 537,000 customers. Initially, Insight will
exchange its Claremont, California system for a system in Freeport, Illinois.
Insight will also purchase from AT&T Broadband systems serving approximately
100,000 customers in North Central Illinois. Concurrently with this purchase,
Insight will contribute to Insight Midwest such newly purchased systems, as well
as all of its other systems not already owned by Insight Midwest, including the
aforementioned Freeport, Illinois swap (comprising in total approximately
187,000 customers). At the same time, AT&T Broadband will contribute to Insight
Midwest systems located in Central and North Central Illinois serving
approximately 250,000 customers. Both Insight and AT&T Broadband will contribute
their respective systems to Insight Midwest subject to an agreed-upon amount of
indebtedness so that Insight Midwest will remain equally owned by Insight and
AT&T Broadband. Insight will continue to serve as general partner of Insight
Midwest and manage and operate Insight Midwest's systems. The transactions are
subject to the negotiations and execution of definitive agreements.
Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In June 1998, the FASB issued Statement No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS No. 133"). SFAS No. 133, as amended
by SFAS No. 137, is effective for all fiscal years beginning after June 15,
2000. SFAS No. 133 will require the company to recognize all derivatives on the
balance sheet at fair value. Although management has not completed its
assessment of the impact of this standard on its results of operations and
financial position, management does not anticipate that the adoption of this
statement will be material.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk
Our revolving credit and term loan agreements bear interest at floating
rates. Accordingly, we are exposed to potential losses related to changes in
interest rates. We do not enter into derivatives or other financial instruments
for trading or speculative purposes; however, in order to manage our exposure to
interest rate risk, we enter into derivative financial instruments, typically
interest rate swaps and collars. The counterparties to our swap and collar
agreements are major financial institutions. As of June 30, 2000, our interest
rate swap and collar agreements expire in varying amounts through 2002.
The fair market value of our long-term debt approximates its carrying value
16
as it bears interest at floating rates of interest. As of June 30, 2000, the
estimated fair value of our interest rate swap and collar agreements was
approximately $8.4 million, which amount represents the amount required to enter
into offsetting contracts with similar remaining maturities based on quoted
market prices.
As of June 30, 2000, we had hedged approximately $690.0 million, or 64.0%,
of our borrowings under our Insight Indiana credit facility and Insight Kentucky
credit facility. Accordingly, a hypothetical 100 basis point increase in
interest rates along the entire interest rate yield curve would increase our
annual interest expense by approximately $3.2 million.
