A PROFILE
It is the business philosophy of & Associates, Inc., to support its
clients' needs with all of its resources, experience and concerted judgement.
Daniels as a company is unique, servlng the cable communications industry in
three primary ways: brokerage services, investment services and system
management.
The Management Division offers experbise in four key areas of cable system
management: administration, marketi mg, accounting and engineering. Daniels
operates 21 cable systems in 11 stia'::.es and is one of the few companies
that manages systems it does not conttol, testimony to its clients' trust and
regard.
The Brokerage Division has led the cabQe industry in volume of sales initiated
every year since 1958 when it was fo:rrned as part of a cornmi tment to be the
first brokerage firm specializing in cable television. Because the cable
marketplace is more active than ever !before, Daniels' brokers must be highly
skilled professionals who are committed to structuring transactions to
benefit both seller and buyer.
Daniels' brokers have completed analyses of all companies they represent. An
analysis typically examines growth potential, engineering, operations, manage
ment procedures, programming, marketing, services, staff and financial projec
tions. The broker will provide analysis, and his own judgement and
perspective, to prospective buyers to the acquisition opportunity meets
the buyers' overall business objectives and investment needs.
The Investment Services Division works through national and regional financial
institutions to secure debt and maDY sources to obtain equity for cable
operators of virtually every size. Daniels' investment bankers not only have
secured capital, but historically--through services provided--have made it
possible for system operators to turn that capital into profit.
Daniels has been an industry innovatqr and has introduced a number of major
companies to the cable industry
Times-Mirror Company Teleprompter Corporation
Chicago Tribune Scripps-Howard Broadcasting
Storer Broadcasting Capital Cities Communications
General Tire & Rubber Cox Broadcasting Corporation
As a client, you may be assured of 1t:'1e highest professional integrity and
judgement from Daniels' professionals . Our 25 years of experience and broad
perspective will ensure your objectives are attained.

Setting the table
Denver-based Daniels & Associates offers Cl tull menu of
specialized services for the cable industry
"When I first came here in
1965, we just had a num
ber of people who wore a
number of hats," reports Daniels &
Associates Vice Chairman and CEO
John Saeman. "We'd go on a business
trip; we'd be a broker; we'd be a
consultant; we'd be an operating head .
It just depended on what part of the
company we were going to and who
was doing it." This scatter-gun ap
proach, of course, suited a new in
dustry and suited the personality of
company founder and Chairman Bill
Daniels.
But, just as the cable television
industry as a whole has changed and
turned to specialization, so has Daniels
& Associates, where specialization in
the company's diverse cable interests
has become necessary and where the
company has begun to shed its entre
preneurial and eclectic approach in
favor of a disciplined functional
organizational chart.
And, although Denver's pioneering
ca ble concern has necessarily had to
mature along with the rest of the
industry, it has not given up innova
tion or its characteristic willingness to
explore new territory, particularly in
the financial servic(ls arena. Nor has
the company, whicH has brought the
likes of Irving Monroe Rifkin
and Gene Schneider into the cable
television business,: lost its prosely
tizing spirit, having: .brought into its
fold over the past year anumber of top
executives from outside of the cable
television industry.
Today, Daniels &IAssociates stands
as one of few truly diverse cable
communications cOf:Ilpanies. It is one
of the country's top iMSOs, operating
24 cable systems inl 12 states. It is a
general partner Rainbow Pro
gramming, one of tlie more successful
new cable programiners of the past
couple years. It has instrumental
in establishing The Fund,
an innovative equity :fund ($50 million)
for cable operators. lit has ventured
into the pu blic offerihg of limited cable
partnerships throijgh the recently
formed American TV Investors.
It remains cable telJvision's foremost
investment-banker.
Commenting on the company's
Iongstanding invo'lvement in both
cable operation and brokerage, CEO
Saeman remarks, "1j he operating part
has always been an important part of
the Daniels operation. We like the
business and we know it, and it 's
profita ble. I t gives us a dimension as
an investment banker and broker that
typically an investment banker and
broker doesn't have-an ability to
relate to operating situations is a
definite and distinct advantage.
"In terms"of revenues," Saeman
emphasizes, however, "the most im
portant segment business of our
operation today really is the brokerage
and investment banking business."
This emphasis on the investment
banking side of the operation has led
the company in the recent past to
solidify its brokerage arm and find the
financial specialists needed to serve the
changing financial environment of
cable television.
Comments Saeman, "I think the
nature of the marketplace is changing
on a daily basis, and many of the
restructurings that have taken place
over the last two years have come
about because of the need to grow with
the industry's needs .
"The financial pressures of the last
couple of years on many cable opera
tors have been obvious, particularly
with the kind of interest rates we have
had. The number of mergers and
acquisitions that have taken place over
the last couple of years is a matter of
history. [Cable Vision] reports on those
in every edition. It's kind of mind
boggling, and we don't see much
happening that's going to change that.
"If anything, the marketplace is
going to continue to grow because the
industry itself is growing at a rapid
pace. The demand for capital is great;
the demand for financial services is
great. We see that continuing very
aggressively, and our restructuring

Daniels president and chief operating
officer since April 1981.
over t he past few yea rs has reOected
that. "
This restructuring, in fact, has '
meant seeking out top people in
financial fields, and starts at the very
top of the Daniels organization.
President and chief operating officer
of the company since April 1981 is
Tom Marinkovich, who, Vice Chair
man Saeman reports, "brings a very
special discipline with him. Tom was
the senior tax partner at Price-Water
house here in Denver and managed the
tax department of 17 people.
"And," Saeman continues , "if
there's anything the cable industry has
a need for today, with the many
structures we have, it's tax advice.
That kind of discipline embodied in
the president and chief operating
officer is a distinct advantage; we get
great utilization out of Tom's talent in
that area."
Complementing the tax experience
of Marinkovich is another Daniels
newcomer, Executive Vice President
and Corporate Counsel Bob NageL
Saeman reports that Nagel had been
legal counsel to Daniels for the past
ten years, and "we were able to entice
him away to join us on a full-time
basis . Bob is a key member of our
group and his principal focus is to
function as a corporate counsel for us.
He interrelates on aJilegal matters that
pertain to operations, but has a fair
amount of focus toward the invest
ment banking and brokerage side in
terms of contract administration and
things of that kind which are critical to
make that department work."
Rounding out the senior executive
Vice Chairman and Chief

hats. Says Saenian, "The
nature of the mi;lfketplace

basis. "
staff for the investment banking
division is yet ano:ther newcomer to
Daniels and to cable television, Execu
tive Vice President F red Vierra, who
joined Daniels one Iyear ago and is the
day-to-day operaiting head of the
division. Vierra joined Daniels from
Denver's other farT/0us company, the
Coors brewery, where he was vice
president of sales.
Finally, Daniels :most recent signifi
cant personnel move serves to provide

commitment to its investment banking
division. This was the recent elevation
of four of its investment bankers to the
status of senior vice president. Hugh
McCulloh and Jay Busch team up in
the Midwest and Northeast as senior
vice presidents of, respectively, mer
gers and acquisitions and investment
services. I n the Southeast and West,
Bob Holman became senior vice
president, mergers and acquisitions,
and Tim David senior vice president,
investment services.
Saeman explains the tandem ap
proach to Daniels' investment banking
territories: "We have representation
by geographic area, and the brokerage
representative is out trying to work
under an agency agreement to repre
sent those people on the sale of their
cable system. At the same time,
working in the same territory, is an
investment banker who is contacting
cable operators to determine financial
needs: growth, capital, rebuild capa
cities and whatever. These people
work as a team because they have
constant resource information they
can share with each other. That's what
we have embodied in these teams, and
we have developed a business oppor
tunity out of it."
The brokerage operation itself,
Saeman says, developed out of the
company's investment services activi
ties, at first by accident and fmally by
design. "Having developed the in
vestment banking thing, we found
ourselves in a position where obvious
__--' Business L-____---,,.---______
Iy if a cable operator came in and said
'I'm ready to sell,' we could take him to
the marketplace with no problem. In '
investment banking, on the other
hand, if a ca ble opera tor needs expan
sion capital, refinancing, whatever, it's
easy. We can take him to the market
place. These are very cut and dried,
black and white issues.
"What we found happening in the
last couple years in the cable industry
is some people just didn't fit those
categories," Saeman continues. "You
get people like, say. Bob Hughes. in the
formation of Prime Cable. Bob didn't
want to sell Prime Cable, but he had
debt capacity that was all used up. For
example, he bought his first system in
Jackson Hole, Wyoming; it stood on
its own. He wants to grow some more.
Bob makes a deal with Peter Gilbert
for his cable system in Buffalo, and
Bob can get debt for that particular
transaction without any problem. But,
he needs $16 million worth of equity.
We couldn't fill that niche in a readily
ascertaina ble manner.
"Obviously we knew some people
and some things of that nature, but
Bob, through venture capital sources,
which he solicited on his own, was able
to raise that $16 million.
"What we decided we needed to do
was to fill that gap in there with
something. After a period of time, we
solidified that and are sponsoring a
company called The Centennial Fund.
The Centennial Fund is a $50-million
venture capital company, which is
headquartered here in Denver and
which will have as one of its general
partners Steve Halstead, who had run
our investment banking group." .
Daniels alumnus Halstead, along
with the other general partner Jack
Tankersley, who previously was af
executive Vice President and Corpor
ate Coumel Bob Nagel handles the
legal aspects and focusses in on
investment banking.

filiated with the ventl;lre capital arm of
the Continental II!linois Bank in
Chicago, will head up the fund .
Saeman comments that "Jack was a
proven venture capitali st and, in fact,
had led the offering for Prime Cable.
Steve, as a proven in/Jestment banker
in the cable industry, knows a lot of
cable operators, knows their needs,
and knows how they t hink. So these
two guys are running The Centennial
Fund, and it bridges :the gap."
The Centennial plans to raise
40 percent of the $50 million during
the first year and 30 percent in each of
the two subsequent I years. Saeman
reports that the minimum available
in the.fun9 is $2 million, so
It theoretIcally wIll have no more than
25 participants when iit finally closes.
"The intention of Ithe fund," Sae
man observes, "is to by a major leader,
an underwriting leader, in cable
communications-rela t,ed transactions.
We expect it to m<,lke a series of
substantial, let's say three to five
million dollar lead investments, in
cable operating
But, Saeman cautions, "the fund
wi II not be excl usi-yely ca bl e; it's
designed as a general purpose venture
fund . It will look at :things that are
beyond cable operations, but I would
expect its heavy focus to be in the cable
communications industry. By that I
don't mean to limit it merely to
operating situations. It could also be
involved in softwar;e; it has been
involved in a company :called American
Home Video, which owns a chain of
retail stores across the United States,
specializing in end user produCts
large screen television sets, video
recorders, video cameras, video discs,
etc. We felt ... that what the consumer
used to view our product could be
considered to be part of the cable
communications environment, so we
made an investment in that company."
So, with The Centennial Fund
established through the support and
assistance of Daniels & Associates, the
company's most recent venture also
took on an investment/ equity char
acteristic. This is the Daniels limited
partnership, American Cable TV
Investors, which is a joint venture of
Daniels & Associates and Integrated
Resources, Inc., a diversified financial
service organization headquartered in
New York.
According to a promotional bro
chure on the recently formed limited
partnership, it is a "publicly offered
limited partnership that will engage
primarily in the acquisition, develop
ment and operation of existing cable
television systems in the United States.
The partnership does not intend to
become involved in negotiations with
local government agencies for new
franchises, except possibly in areas in
the vicinity of franchises owned by
ACT I."
The first offering, ACT I, is a $25
million offering, with a unit price of
$500 and a minimum purchase of five
units. Like other well known cable
limited partnerships, one of the prin
cipal advantages of ACT I is as a tax
savings, but the partners' promotional
literature also lists appreciation,
capital preservation and cash flow as
objectives of the fund.
Systems purchased by the fund will
be managed by Daniels & Associates'
operating division. And, of course,
this arrangement once again points
Busilll!S5 _______.-------------------1
out the built-in advantages Daniels
has because of its financial and
operating knowledge of cable televi
sion systems. A company spokesman
remarks that Daniels became involved
in the limited partnership the
company realizes there is now a
market for cable investment beyond
the "heavyweight investor." The
company credits ca,ble's current popu
larity for this and gives due credit to
Jones Intercable for pioneering cable
limited partnership:s.
So, as it has always been at Daniels,
through the entrenreneurial spirit of
its founder, one ithing has led to
another-new bloop has been brought
in, new companiesiformed, new divi-
Executive Vice President Fred Vierra, only a one-rear veteran1with the company,
has added his sales experience to the investment banking
sions mounted-all because of needs
unearthed by Daniels' investment
bankers. The company's most recent
efforts, The Centennial Fund and
American Cable TV Investors, finally
complete the Daniels' circle, closing
the arc of capital formation to com
plement Daniels' existing brokerage
and operating arms.
And to cap what has been a land
mark year at Daniels, the company has
just recently moved into plush new
headquarters in Denver's exclusive
Cherry Creek section. The new four
story office complex includes employ
ee and executive dining facilities, a
racquetball court, spacious, tasteful
executive offices, state-of-the-art
electronic conference and presentation
facilities among other amenities.
It's a long way from company
founder Bill Daniels' days as rough
neck cable operator in the hinterlands
of Wyoming, Colorado and other
western states. Little did Bill Daniels
realize when he first saw television in a
Denver bar in the 1950s, that the
experience would lead to the forma
tion of one of cable's leading invest
ment firms, operators, personnel
recruiters and, in fact, the formation of
the foundation of an entire industry.

A PROFILE OF LEADERSHIP
When a company is first to dedicate itself
totally to one specific industr}j when it
takes innovative strides in that industry and
when it continues to expand that industry's
growth capabilities, that company can
justifiably be called a leader. Daniels
& Associates is the leader in cable
television services.
CABLE TELEVISION INNOVATOR
Daniels & Associates was the first
company established for the sole purpose
of facilitating cable TV financial transactions.
From its earliest beginnings, the company
has innovated cable television brokering,
system operation, marketing and
development of sophisticated financial
structures. That innovation continues to
gain momentum today.
Many of today's leading cable television
companies were introduced.to the industry
by Daniels. American Television and
Communications Corp. (now part of Tune,
Inc.), Television Communications Corp.
(now part of Warner CorrununicatiQn'i,
Inc.), Cox Broadcasting, Tunes-Mirror Co.
and WGN-Continental Broadcasting (The
Chicago 1hbune) are some which Daniels
brought into this dynamic, growing
industry. As the industry has grown, so
has the Daniels legacy.
As Chairman Bill Daniels and his
colleagues developed the financial
structures and innovative capital formations
required to operate a successful, profitable
cable system, that expertise proved
valuable to others in the industry as well.
The phrase "nothing succeeds like success"
takes on new meaning when applied to the
services Daniels & Associates can offer to
those who buy, sell, operate and invest in
cable television properties.
r
Today, the company includes three
divisions: the Investment Services Group,
which offers investment banking services to
the cable industry; the Brokerage Services
Group, which assists both buyers and
sellers in cable properties' transactions; and
the Management Group, which provides
business support services to the
cable industry.
The Daniels people have literally
"grown up" with the cable television
industry. They have been instrumental in
convincing such major financial institutions
as 1Tavelers Insurance, John Hancock
Mutual Life Insurance Company, J.P.
Morgan Interfunding (the long-term
lending arm of the Morgan Guaranty Bank)
and Equitable Life Assurance Society of
the United States to lend their financial
support to the industry. And so, Daniels
has helped make it possible for cable
television to enjoy the credibility and
growth potential it so genuinely deserves.
FlJLFPLLING CABLE'S PROMISE
Other firms offering brokerage,
investment or management services seem
continually to appear and disappear. Not so
with Daniels. The company was here 20
years ago when the cable industry was full
of promise. And the company will be here
50 years from now, helping to fulfill
that promise.
INVESTMENT SERVICES
fr'

.J!, L
...- - . ~ ......~
'jn- 0'I/J) 7M!- tiPVI ';
t
Historically, securing debt and equity
'capital fOf the cable television industry has
not been the easiest task. Cable is relatively
new and in many aspects is a unique
business. For that reason, Daniels &
Associates created its Investment Services
Group. This core of highly skilled
investment professionals understands both
cable television and investment banking.
They are people who succeed at putting
lenders and cable operators together-for
the benefit of both.
SUCCESSFUL FINANCING RESULTS
The Daniels Investment Services
Group works through national and regional
financial institutions to secure capital for
operators of virtually every size ~ a b l e
system, including multi-system and single
system operations. The Investment Group
takes pride in the faCt it has never failed to
secure acommitment for a listed client,
becausethat's the very best measure of the
group'scompetnce and professionalism.
That success can be attributed to a thorough
knowledge of lending procedures-a
knowledge that works to the advantage
of both lender and operator.
When the Daniels Investment Services
Group begL'1s work with a system operator,
the first important step is an in-depth
analysis of the operator's business
objectives. Debt capacity is studied. Growth
potential is estimated. Operations and
management are reviewed. The system's
financial history is scrutinized. All are
necessary so the Daniels investment
manager can match the system with the
appropriate financial resources.
If, during the analysis and review
stage, any operational problems are
identified, Daniels offers solutions to those
problems. That makes for a better system
and eases the financing proced ure.
After comprehensive value analysis,
the investment manager prepares a
professional and thorough loan
presentation. This presentation includes
information on a system's operations,
management, financial history, appraised
value and anticipated performance. It also
includes an exact description of the desired
terms, purpose for which the money will be
used, payment plans and the terms and
conditions of the loan agreement .
Once the presentation is complete, the
investment manager then begins to secure
and expedite the loan, working with
appropriate sources to acquire the required
funds. Here again, the Daniels name is of
great value. As a recognized cable television
leader, Daniels has earned credibility and
respect in the financial community. The
company was responsible for introducing
the cable industry to major financial
institutions as well as leading capital
investment firms such as Narragansett
Capital Corporation and The Prospect
Company. And the company continues its
efforts daily to create new funding sources
and maintain contact with its current
major lenders.
The objective of all investment efforts
is to assist cable system operators in
establTshing long-term relati'onships with
responsive financial institutions.
The Investment Services Group is
supported by an extremely capable back-up
staff. People who have virtually "written
the book" on cable television management,
operation and financing. In this respect,
Daniels is unique among investment
banking firms providing service to the
cable industry.
In addition to the placement of debt,
the Investment Services Group structures
limited partnership and institutional equity
ventures as well.
EXTENDED VALUE
As a unique'cabletelevision
investment resource, the Daniels
Investment Group has provided its
customers with consulting and financial
services that have had extended value.
Not only has Daniels secured capital,
but historically-through services
provided-made it possible for system
operators to turn that capital in to profit.
And that is the most compelling
consideration of all.

Dear Clinton:
As discussed over the phone, I am inclu ilg the projections for the South Central
Los Angeles CATV system. I would appre ;<.te your timely review of these numbers
as the company is hoping to present fin n( ing letters to the city council at the
Apr'il 27, 1982 meeting.
South Central CATV Associates is a 60%/ ( . partnership between Universal Cable
(local Los Angeles businessmen) and Comfl1ur iCom. CommuniCom has operations in the
Los Angeles market, and will be respons b e for building and operating the South
Central system. The partners have indi a1ed that they will contribute $7.5 mil
lion in equity to the project.
The South Central franchise area includ s 209,000 homes; a map of the franchise
area is included. The company plans a construction schedule, building 250
miles in the first 12 months of an additional 250 miles in year 2
and 260 in year 3. We have attempted t prepare a conservative financial projec
tion, and have estimated initial basic erletration at 20% increasing 2.5%/year in
years 2-5 and l%/year in years 6-10. SupE'r basic, which will provide additional
satellite options, will be taken by 50% Iof basic subscribers. Pay penetration is
calculated at 125% of basic throughout 10 year period. CommuniCom has noted
that their experience in the area is cl l s l'r to 200%, and they feel they will be
able to outperform the projections. Bai " and each pay tier will cost S10/month
with super basic and an extra outlet av i able for $4/month.
The South Central CATV Associates' partTelship has asked me to approach your bank
with this financing package. The partnfr, hip is requesting a $20 million, 3 year
revolving/5 year term loan. The partners hip is looking for a letter of interest
if you would be willing to work with th on this project. The partnership
understands that your commitment will b ,ependent on a satisfactory franchise
being granted to the partnership, that h! required equity is contributed, and
that a satisfactory loan agreement is n 9 Jtiated with the lending institutions.
