2 ITEM 2 ACQUISITION OF ASSETS. On October 1, 1999, Charter Communications Holdings, LLC (the "Company"), through certain of its subsidiaries, acquired from InterMedia Partners Southeast and its affiliates ("InterMedia"), certain equity interests and assets of cable systems serving approximately 412,000 customers in North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Tennessee (collectively, the "InterMedia Systems"). The Company paid to the sellers $904 million in cash and exchanged company-operated cable systems serving approximately 114,000 customers located in Indiana, Montana, Utah and northern Kentucky. At the closing, the Company retained a cable system located in Indiana serving approximately 30,000 customers for which the Company was unable to obtain the necessary regulatory approvals. The Company agreed to retain ownership and bear the risk of loss associated with this cable system until such approvals can be obtained. In the event that the necessary regulatory approvals are not obtained by November 5, 1999, InterMedia may elect to receive other properties from us that are mutually acceptable. If the necessary regulatory approvals cannot be obtained for the transfer of the Indiana system by November 5, 1999 and the Company is unable to transfer to InterMedia satisfactory replacement systems before April 1, 2000, the Company must pay InterMedia approximately $88.2 million in cash. In addition, if the Company transfers cash or property other than the retained Indiana system to InterMedia, in certain circumstances, the Company must indemnify InterMedia 50% of all taxes and associated costs incurred or arising out of any claim that InterMedia suffered tax losses to which it would not have been subject to if the Company had transferred the retained Indiana system in October 1999. This transaction after giving effect to the transfer of the retained Indiana system will result in a net increase of approximately 268,000 customers concentrated in the southeast and southern regions of the U.S. For the six months ended June 30, 1999, the InterMedia Systems had revenues of $100.6 million. For the year ended December 31, 1998, the InterMedia Systems had revenues of $176.1 million.
