C/O ENSTAR COMMUNICATIONS CORPORATION 12444 POWERSCOURT DRIVE, SUITE 100 ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI 63131 --------- QUARTERLY REPORT --------- Dear Limited Partner: As the general partner of Enstar Income Program II-1, L.P., ("Enstar II-1" or the "Partnership"), we are pleased to enclose the Partnership's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended June 30, 2000. We are further pleased to announce that as of August 8, 2000, the Partnership (together with eight other Enstar-affiliated partnerships) entered into a comprehensive Asset Purchase Agreement with Multimedia Acquisition Corp. (an affiliate of Gans Multimedia Partnership), pursuant to which Multimedia would purchase substantially all of the cable television systems and other operating assets of each of those selling partnerships, including Enstar II-1, for a combined aggregate purchase price of $94,929,400, of which $13,846,000 would be paid to Enstar II-1, subject to closing adjustments. Neither Multimedia nor Gans is affiliated with the Partnership or any affiliate of the Partnership. The Multimedia agreement is the result of an extensive process we began in 1999 to engage a respected industry broker, identify prospective purchasers of the selling partnerships' cable systems and to negotiate a definitive purchase agreement covering all or substantially all of those assets. Of the bids we received, Multimedia offered the most favorable price and other terms. Multimedia's obligation to purchase the selling partnerships' cable system assets, including Enstar II-1's, is contingent on (i) each and every selling partnership obtaining the approval of its respective limited partners; and (ii) the grantors of the franchises covering 90% of the selling partnerships' aggregate number of subscribers consenting to the assignment of those franchises to Multimedia. We anticipate that this process will require several months. Following the sale to Multimedia, we would repay the Partnership's debts, fund required reserves, and terminate the Partnership by making liquidating cash distributions to its partners in accordance with the liquidation provisions of the partnership agreement. We presently expect that the liquidating distributions to the limited partners would approximate $440 per Unit (subject to closing adjustments and federal and state taxes). We presently expect that the sale to Multimedia would close in the first quarter of 2001 and anticipate making the initial liquidating distribution approximately 60 days after the closing. We also expect that after required closing adjustments are completed (which we expect to occur 4 approximately 6 months after the closing), final liquidating distributions would be made of any remaining funds. As you are aware, on June 5, 2000, Millenium Management, LLC, an affiliate of a limited partner, filed a definitive consent solicitation statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission seeking to terminate and dissolve the Partnership and to appoint Millenium as liquidating trustee to oversee the sale of the Partnership's assets and to wind up the Partnership's business. Millenium failed to obtain the required number of consents and terminated the consent solicitation on August 9, 2000. The liquidating distributions and time-frames contemplated above are estimates, only. There is no assurance that the sale of the Partnership's assets will close within the time period indicated, if at all, or that the liquidating distributions will not differ substantially from those set forth above. As noted in the cover letter to this Report, at this time we are not soliciting your consent to or approval of the Multimedia sale and subsequent liquidation. We will seek your consent only through a formal Consent Solicitation Statement that we must file with the Securities and Exchange Commission before we send it to you. We are now in the process of preparing the Consent Solicitation Statement and at this time expect to send it (together with appropriate consent cards) to you within the next several weeks. When you receive our Consent Solicitation Statement, please read it carefully before you vote, because it will contain important information pertinent to the General Partner, the Partnership, the Multimedia sale, the reasons for it, the liquidation and distribution process and voting procedures.

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ======================================= 1. INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The accompanying condensed interim financial statements for Enstar Income Program II-1, L.P. (the "Partnership") as of June 30, 2000 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 are unaudited. These condensed interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in our latest Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, the condensed interim financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the results of such periods. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year. 2. TRANSACTIONS WITH THE GENERAL PARTNER AND AFFILIATES The Partnership has a management and service agreement (the "Management Agreement") with Enstar Cable Corporation (the "Manager"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Enstar Communications Corporation (ECC), the corporate General Partner, for a monthly management fee of 5% of revenues to the Manager, excluding revenues from the sale of cable television systems or franchises. Management fee expense approximated $40,800 and $80,900 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 1999, management fee expense approximated $40,100 and $78,900, respectively. Management fees are non-interest bearing. In addition to the monthly management fee, the Management Agreement also provides that the Partnership reimburse the Manager for direct expenses incurred on behalf of the Partnership and for the Partnership's allocable share of operational costs associated with services provided by the Manager. Additionally, Charter Communications Holding Company, LLC and its affiliates (collectively, "Charter") provide other management and operational services for the Partnership that were provided by Falcon Communications, L.P. and its affiliates (collectively, "Falcon") prior to November 12, 1999. These expenses are charged to the properties served based primarily on the Partnership's allocable share of operational costs associated with the services provided. The total amount charged to the Partnership for these services was $85,700 and $163,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 1999, the total amount charged to the Partnership for these services was $80,200 and $157,500, respectively. Substantially all programming services have been purchased through Charter since November 12, 1999. Before that time, substantially all programming services were purchased through Falcon. Falcon charged the Partnership for these costs based on an estimate of what ECC could negotiate for such programming services for the 15 partnerships managed as a group. Charter charges the Partnership for these costs based on its costs. The Partnership recorded programming fee expense of $149,000 and $314,800 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 1999, programming fee expense was $194,600 and -6- 11 ENSTAR INCOME PROGRAM II-1, L.P. NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED) ===================================================== $379,000, respectively. Programming fees are included in service costs in the statements of operations. The Partnership provides cable television signals to certain cable systems in neighboring communities that are owned by other partnerships managed by ECC. Such services are provided without fee. 3. NET INCOME PER UNIT OF LIMITED PARTNERSHIP INTEREST Net income per unit of limited partnership interest is based on the average number of units outstanding during the periods presented. For this purpose, net income has been allocated 99% to the Limited Partners and 1% to the General Partner. The General Partner does not own units of partnership interest in the Partnership, but rather holds a participation interest in the income, losses and distributions of the Partnership. 4. SUBSEQUENT EVENT On August 8, 2000, the Partnership, together with certain affiliates, (collectively, the "Sellers") entered into a purchase and sale agreement (the "Agreement") with Multimedia Acquisition Corp., an affiliate of Gans Multimedia Partnership, (the "Purchaser"). The Agreement provides for the Purchaser to acquire the assets comprising the Partnership's cable system serving Taylorville, Illinois, as well as certain assets of other affiliates. The aggregate purchase price payable to the Sellers pursuant to the Agreement is $94,929,400 in cash (subject to normal closing adjustments). Of that amount, $13,846,000 (subject to closing adjustments) is payable to the Partnership. The allocation of the purchase price among each of the Sellers was assigned by the Purchaser for each of the systems. The Purchaser's obligation to acquire the cable systems is subject to numerous closing conditions, including without limitation: (a) receipt of the necessary governmental consents to transfer franchises covering an aggregate of 90% of the subscribers of all of the Sellers; (b) receipt of certain other material consents and approvals required for the consummation of the sale; (c) receipt of the necessary approvals of the Limited Partners of each Seller; and (d) other standard closing conditions. With respect to clause (c) above, completion of the transaction is contingent on the Limited Partners of the Partnership and the other selling affiliates voting to approve the sale. -7- 12 ENSTAR INCOME PROGRAM II-1, L.P. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS INTRODUCTION This report includes certain forward-looking statements regarding, among other things, our future results of operations, regulatory requirements, competition, capital needs and general business conditions applicable to the Partnership. Such forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties including, without limitation, the uncertainty of legislative and regulatory changes and the rapid developments in the competitive environment facing cable television operators such as the Partnership. In addition to the information provided herein, reference is made to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999 for additional information regarding such matters and the effect thereof on the Partnership's business. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Our revenues increased from $802,300 to $815,200, or by 1.6%, and from $1,578,900 to $1,617,200, or by 2.4%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000, as compared to the corresponding periods in 1999. Of the $12,900 increase in revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2000, $34,600 was due to increases in regulated service rates that we implemented in 2000 and $1,000 was due to increases in other revenue producing items. The increase was partially offset by a $22,700 decrease due to decreases in the number of subscribers for basic, premium and equipment rental services. Of the $38,300 increase in revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2000, $66,500 was due to increases in regulated service rates that we implemented in 2000. The increases were partially offset by a $27,800 decrease in the number of subscribers for basic, premium and equipment rental services and a $400 decrease in other revenue producing items. As of June 30, 2000, we had approximately 6,700 basic subscribers and 1,000 premium service units. Effective with the acquisition of Falcon Communications, L.P. (Falcon) by Charter Communications Holdings Company, LLC on November 12, 1999, certain activities previously incurred at the Partnership and expensed through service cost and general and administrative expense have been either eliminated by Charter, or have been reimbursed by the Partnership based on Charter's costs incurred. These reimbursed costs are included in general partner management fees and reimbursed expenses on the Partnership's statements of operations. The total of service costs, general and administrative expenses and general partner management fees and reimbursed expenses decreased from $463,500 to $411,700, or by 11.2%, and from $931,500 to $801,300, or by 14.0%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000, as compared to the corresponding periods in 1999. Our service costs decreased from $233,100 to $202,700, or by 13.0%, and from $495,700 to $416,800, or by 15.9%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000, as compared to the corresponding periods in 1999. Service costs represent costs directly attributable to providing cable services to customers. The decrease was primarily due to decreases in programming fees, personnel costs and certain costs incurred by the Partnership prior to the Charter acquisition that are now incurred by Charter and reimbursed by the Partnership, as discussed above. Programming fees decreased as a result of lower rates that Charter has extended to us and a decrease in subscribers. -8- 13 ENSTAR INCOME PROGRAM II-1, L.P. General and administrative expenses decreased from $110,100 to $82,500, or by 25.1%, and from $199,400 to $140,600, or by 29.5%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000, as compared to the corresponding periods in 1999, primarily due to decreases in marketing expenses and certain costs incurred by the Partnership prior to the Charter acquisition that are now incurred by Charter and reimbursed by the Partnership, as discussed above. General partner management fees and reimbursed expenses increased from $120,300 to $126,500, or by 5.2%, and from $236,400 to $243,900, or by 3.2%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000, as compared to the corresponding periods in 1999. Management fees increased in direct relation to increased revenues as described above. As discussed above, Charter now performs certain management and operational functions formerly performed by the Partnership, as discussed above. This has resulted in us having more reimbursable costs and lower service costs and general and administrative expenses. Depreciation and amortization expense increased from $116,100 to $143,200 or by 23.3%, and from $238,300 to $283,200 or by 18.8% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000, as compared to the corresponding periods in 1999. The increases were primarily due to asset additions from the upgrade of our cable systems. Operating income increased from $222,700 to $260,300, or by 16.9%, and from $409,100 to $532,700, or by 30.2%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000, as compared to the equivalent periods in 1999, primarily due to increases in revenues and decreases in programming fees as described above. Our interest income, net of interest expense, increased from $17,000 to $31,900, or by 87.6%, and from $34,400 to $57,800, or by 68.0%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000, as compared to the corresponding periods in 1999, primarily due to higher average cash balances available for investment and due to higher average interest rates earned in 2000. Due to the factors described above, our net income increased from $239,700 to $292,200, or by 21.9%, and from $443,500 to $590,500, or by 33.1%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000, as compared to the corresponding periods in 1999. Based on our experience in the cable television industry, we believe that operating income before depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, and related measures of cash flow serve as important financial analysis tools for measuring and comparing cable television companies in several areas, such as liquidity, operating performance and leverage. EBITDA is not a measurement determined under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA should not be considered by the reader as an alternative to net income as an indicator of financial performance or as an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. In addition, the definition of EBITDA may not be identical to similarly titled measures used by other companies. EBITDA as a percentage of revenues increased from 42.2% to 49.5% and 41.0% to 50.5% during the three and six months ended June 30, 2000, as compared to the corresponding period in 1999. The increase was primarily related to increases in revenues and decreases in programming fees as described above. EBITDA increased from $338,800 -9- 14 ENSTAR INCOME PROGRAM II-1, L.P. to $403,500, or by 19.1%, and from $647,400 to $815,900, or by 26.0%, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2000, as compared to the corresponding period in 1999. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Our primary objective is to distribute to our partners all available cash flow from operations and proceeds from the sale of cable systems, if any, after providing for expenses and capital requirements relating to the expansion, improvement and upgrade of such cable television systems. In accordance with the partnership agreement, Enstar Communications Corporation, our corporate general partner, has implemented a plan for liquidating the Partnership. On August 8, 2000, the Partnership, together with certain affiliates, (collectively, the "Sellers") entered into a purchase and sale agreement (the "Agreement") with Multimedia Acquisition Corp., an affiliate of Gans Multimedia Partnership, (the "Purchaser"). The Agreement provides for the Purchaser to acquire the assets comprising the Partnership's cable system serving Taylorville, Illinois, as well as certain assets of other affiliates. The aggregate purchase price payable to the Sellers pursuant to the Agreement is $94,929,400 in cash (subject to normal closing adjustments). Of that amount, $13,846,000 (subject to closing adjustments) is payable to the Partnership. The allocation of the purchase price among each of the Sellers was assigned by the Purchaser for each of the systems. The Purchaser's obligation to acquire the cable systems is subject to numerous closing conditions, including without limitation: (a) receipt of the necessary governmental consents to transfer franchises covering an aggregate of 90% of the subscribers of all of the Sellers; (b) receipt of certain other material consents and approvals required for the consummation of the sale; (c) receipt of the necessary approvals of the Limited Partners of each Seller; and (d) other standard closing conditions. With respect to clause (c) above, completion of the transaction is contingent on the Limited Partners of the Partnership and the other selling affiliates voting to approve the sale. Enstar Communications Corporation is currently preparing a proxy for submission to the Partnership's Limited Partners for the purpose of approving or disapproving the sale. If all of the Partnership's assets are sold, Enstar Communications Corporation will proceed to liquidate the Partnership following the settlement of their final liabilities. At June 30, 2000, the Partnership had no debt outstanding. The Partnership relies upon cash flow from operations to meet operating requirements and fund necessary capital expenditures. Although the Partnership currently has a significant cash balance, there can be no assurance that the Partnership's cash flow will be adequate to meet its future liquidity requirements. The Partnership intends to upgrade its cable system in Litchfield, Illinois in 2000 at an estimated cost of approximately $1.0 million, which is required to be completed by January 2001 under a provision of the franchise agreement. Other capital expenditures budgeted for 2000 total approximately $552,100 for the improvement and upgrade of other assets. Such expenditures approximated -10- 15 ENSTAR INCOME PROGRAM II-1, L.P. 150,200 as of June 30, 2000. As a result of these planned capital expenditures, the Partnership intends, if possible, to maintain cash reserves. We paid distributions totaling $188,500 during the six months ended June 30, 2000 and expect to continue to pay distributions at this level during 2000. There can, however, be no assurances regarding the level, timing or continuation of future distributions. Falcon purchased insurance coverage for all of the cable television properties owned or managed by it to cover damage to cable distribution plant and subscriber connections and against business interruptions resulting from such damage. This coverage is subject to a significant annual deductible which applies to all of the cable television properties owned or formerly managed by Falcon through November 12, 1999, and currently managed by Charter, including those of the Partnership.
