NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Operations

Warwick Valley Telephone Company (the “Company”) provides communications services to customers in the Towns of Warwick, Goshen, and Wallkill, New York and the Townships of Vernon and West Milford, New Jersey. As a result of the purchase of certain assets of US Datanet Corporation on April 24, 2009, the Company has extended its services to upstate New York and selected other states. Services include providing local and toll telephone service to residential and business customers, access and billing and collection services to interexchange carriers, Internet access, video service, conferencing, and Voice over Internet Protocol (“VoIP”).

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. 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 the Company’s management, all adjustments consisting only of normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the six-month period ended June 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and any disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from such estimates. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s latest Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

As of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company’s financial instruments consisted of cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and long-term debt. The Company believes that the carrying values of accounts receivable and accounts payable at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 approximated fair value based on their short term maturity. Based on the borrowing rates currently available to the Company for loans of similar terms, the Company has determined that the carrying value of the long-term debt (including current maturities) approximates fair value.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets that have finite useful lives are amortized by the straight-line method over their useful lives ranging from 3 to 10 years. Intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives are not amortized but are tested at least annually for impairment. Annually, the Company evaluates the remaining useful lives of intangible assets not being amortized to determine whether facts and circumstances continue to support an indefinite useful life. The Company currently does not have any intangible assets with no indefinite lives. Intangible assets are considered impaired if the fair value of the intangible asset is less than its net book value.

Reclassifications

Certain items in the 2008 condensed consolidated financial statement have been reclassified in order to conform to the 2009 presentation. None of the reclassifications affect the Company’s results of operations or earnings per share for 2008.

NOTE 2: ASSET PURCHASE

On April 24, 2009, Warwick Valley Mobile Telephone Company (WVMT), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, purchased certain assets from US Datanet Corporation (“US Datanet”). The assets acquired from US Datanet consists of its Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) line of business, which provides communication services for commercial customer’s, conferencing and wholesales services.

This asset purchase extends the Company’s Competitive Local Exchange Carrier (“CLEC”) services to upstate New York and selected other states, and expands the scope of the Company’s product offerings to include business telecommunications, conferencing and wholesale. This transaction is a step in the execution of the Company’s corporate strategy to profitably expand the Company’s business beyond our regulated franchise area.

Under the terms of the asset purchase agreement, WVMT purchased certain assets for $1,487 in cash. The acquisition has been accounted for as a business combination under SFAS No. 141(R). The initial accounting for this transaction is incomplete as the appraisals necessary to assess the fair values of the tangible and intangible assets acquired have not been finalized. As the values of certain assets are preliminary in nature, they are subject to adjustment as additional information is obtained about the facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date. The valuations are expected to be finalized within approximately the next four months. When the valuations are finalized, any changes to the preliminary valuation of assets acquired may result in significant adjustments to the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired.

The fair values of the assets acquired were preliminarily determined using the cost, and market approaches. The fair value measurements were primarily based on significant inputs that are not observable in the market and thus represent a Level 3 measurement as defined in SFAS No. 157. The cost approach, which estimates value by determining the current cost of replacing an asset with another of equivalent economic utility, was used for plant, property and equipment and software licenses. The cost to replace a given asset reflects the estimated reproduction or replacement cost for the property, less an allowance for loss in value due to depreciation. The market approach, which indicates value for an asset based on available market pricing for comparable assets, was used for other intangibles.

The purchase price of $1,487 contains net reductions permitted under the asset purchase agreement of $13.

The following table summarizes the estimated consideration and the estimated fair values of the assets acquired at April 24, 2009.

Consideration
Cash	$	1,487

Recognized amounts of identifiable assets acquired
Inventory	$	98
Internet communications equipment and furniture and fixtures		1,186
Intangible assets		203
	$	1,487

The revenue and earnings (loss) from the acquired assets since the acquisition date are included in the Company’s consolidated income statement for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 are $503 and $(209), respectively.

The following unaudited pro forma consolidated results of operations for the Company for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 respectively, assume that the asset purchase occurred January 1, 2009. Pro forma results for the comparable periods in 2008 are not presented because it requires significant estimates of amounts relating to the product lines associated with the assets purchased, and it is impracticable to distinguish objectively information about those amounts from the historical records of US Datanet. The unaudited pro forma information presents the combined operating results of the purchased lines of business and the Company, with the results prior to the asset purchase date adjusted for amortization of intangibles and depreciation of fixed assets based on the preliminary purchase price allocation and the elimination of acquisition related costs. The asset purchase was not significant (within the meaning of Regulation S-X) to the Company.

These unaudited pro forma results do not purport to be indicative of the results that would have been obtained if the asset purchase did not occur as of January 1, 2009 nor does the unaudited pro forma data intend to be a projection of results that may be obtained in the future.

NOTE 3. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“FAS 168”). FAS 168 replaces FASB 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“FASB 162”). It names the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Codification”) as the single source of authoritative U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) for non-governmental entities recognized by the FASB. FAS 168 is effective for reporting periods ending after September 15, 2009, and once effective, will supersede all U.S. GAAP accounting standards, aside from rules and interpretive releases issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Codification is not intended to change GAAP; rather, it will change the referencing of U.S. GAAP. Therefore, it is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s results of operations, statement of position or cash flows.

In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events (“FAS 165”). FAS 165 requires companies to disclose the date through which they evaluated subsequent events and whether that date corresponds with the filing of their financial statements. It is effective for fiscal periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company has adopted FAS 165 as of June 30, 2009.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position SFAS 107-1 and Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments (“FSP 107-1” and “APB 28-1,” respectively). FSP 107-1 amends Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Values of Financial Instruments, to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments in interim financial statements as well as in annual financial statements. APB 28-1 amends APB Opinion No. 28, Interim Financial Reporting, to require those disclosures in all interim financial statements. FSP 107-1 and APB 28-1 are effective for interim periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company adopted FSP 107-1 and APB 28-1 during the quarter ended June 30, 2009.

In December 2008, the FASB issued FSP SFAS 132 (R)-1, Employers' Disclosures About Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets (“FSP SFAS 132(R)-1”) amending SFAS No. 132, Employer's Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits, to provide guidance on an employer’s disclosures about plan assets of a defined benefit pension or other postretirement plan. FSP SFAS 132 (R)-1 requires additional disclosures about investment policies and strategies, categories of plan assets, fair value measurements of plan assets and significant concentrations of risk. The disclosures about plan assets required by FSP SFAS 132 (R)-1 are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2009. The Company does not expect the adoption of FSP SFAS 132 (R)-1 to have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The Company will adopt the disclosure requirements of FSP SFAS 132 (R)-1 for its fiscal year ending December 31, 2009.

WARWICK VALLEY TELEPHONE COMPANY

(Unaudited)

($ in thousands except share and per share amounts)

In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 141(R), Business Combinations, (“SFAS 141(R)”) which replaces SFAS 141. SFAS 141(R) establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer in a business combination recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any controlling interest; recognizes and measures goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase; and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS 141(R) is effective for acquisitions by the Company taking place on or after January 1, 2009. Early adoption is prohibited. Accordingly, a calendar year end company is required to record and disclose business combinations following existing accounting guidance until January 1, 2009. The Company has adopted SFAS 141(R) with respect to the purchase of certain assets of US Datanet Corporation on April 24, 2009.

NOTE 4: FAIR VALUE

The Company has adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, (“SFAS 157”) with respect to its financial assets and liabilities only. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting principles and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is defined under SFAS 157 as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value under SFAS 157 must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The standard describes a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value which are the following:

• Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

• Level 2—Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

• Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

In accordance with SFAS 157, the following table represents the Company’s fair value hierarchy for its financial assets (cash equivalents and investments) measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2009:

	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Bank certificate of deposit included
in cash and cash equivalents	$	5,464	$	−	$	−	$	5,464

NOTE 5: EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income applicable to common stock by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income applicable to common stock by the weighted average number of common shares adjusted to include the effect of potentially dilutive securities. Potentially dilutive securities include incremental shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding stock options and the unvested restricted stock. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive securities if their effect is anti-diluting.

NOTE 15: EQUITY INCENTIVE PLANS

The Company has a 2008 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Stock Plan”) to assist the Company and its affiliates in attracting, motivating and retaining selected individuals to serve as employees, directors, consultants and advisors of the Company and its affiliates by providing incentives to such individuals through the ownership and performance of the Company’s common stock. The Stock Plan authorized for future issuance a total of 500,000 shares of common stock which may be either authorized but unissued shares, or shares that have been reacquired by the Company and designated as treasury shares. As of June 30, 2009, 321,701 common shares were available for grant under the Stock Plan. The Stock Plan permits the issuance by the Company of awards in the form of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and restricted stock units and performance shares. The exercise price per share of the Company’s common stock purchasable under any stock option or stock appreciation right will not be less than 100% of the fair market value of one share of common stock on the date of grant. The term of any stock option or stock appreciation right shall not exceed ten years. Restricted stock and restricted stock units are subject to vesting restrictions.

Restricted Common Stock Awards

The following table summarizes the restricted common stock granted to certain eligible participants as of the six months ended June 30, 2009:

				Grant Date

Restricted stock granted	4/27/2009		1,879	$	11.20
Restricted stock granted	6/1/2009		500	$	12.67
Total restricted stock granted			12,300

Stock-based compensation expense for restricted stock awards of $27 and $47 was recorded in the three-months and six-months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Restricted stock awards are amortized over their respective vesting periods of three years. The Company records stock-based compensation for grants of restricted stock awards on a straight-line basis. The Company has not estimated expected forfeitures and is recognizing compensation expense only for those restricted common shares expected to vest.

The following table summarizes the restricted common stock activity during the period ended June 30, 2009:

			Grant Date Weighted

		146,999	$	10.60		9.4	$	138,183

The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total pretax intrinsic value (the difference between the Company’s closing stock price on the last trading day, June 30, 2009, and the exercise price times the number of shares) that would have been received by the option holders had all the option holders exercised in the money stock options on June 30, 2009. This amount changes based on the grant date fair market value of the Company’s common stock.

The fair value of the above stock-based awards was estimated using the Black-Scholes model with the following weighted-average assumptions for the six months ended June 30, 2009:

Options	Six months ended

Expected life (in years)		10
Interest rate		3.51	%
Volatility		28.91	%

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

During the three-month period ended June 30, 2009, net income decreased by 13%, from $1,618 to $1,407 in comparison to the three-month period ended June 30, 2008. Excluding the one-time postretirement liability curtailment after-tax gain of $306 in the three-month period ended June 30, 2008, net income for the three-month period ended June 30, 2009 would have increased $95, or 7%. Revenue during the three-month period ended June 30, 2009 increased by $468 or 9%. This increase was attributable primarily to the acquisition of certain assets of US Datanet Corporation completed during the quarter.

During the three-month period ended June 30, 2009, total operating expenses increased by 22% from $5,670 to $6,925 in comparison to the three month period ended June 30, 2008. Excluding the one-time postretirement liability curtailment gain of $469 in the three-month period ended June 30, 2008, total operating expenses increased by $786 or 13%. This increase was attributable to the acquisition of certain assets of US Datanet Corporation completed during the quarter.

This discussion and analysis provides information about the important aspects of our operations and investments, both at the consolidated and segment levels, and includes discussions of our results of operations, financial position and sources and uses of cash. The presentation of dollar amounts in this discussion is in thousands. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes therein contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.

We provide Incumbent Local Exchange Carrier (“ILEC”) and Competitive Local Exchange Carrier (“CLEC”) communication services to customers in the Lower Hudson Valley of New York and New Jersey. Our services include providing local and toll telephone service to residential and business customers, access and billing and collection services to interexchange carriers, VoIP services, Internet access, video service and conferencing. We report our results in two operating segments: Telephone and Online. The telephone segment provides telecommunications services, including local, network access, long distance services, yellow and white pages advertising, electronic publishing and wireless service. The Online segment provides video, broadband, and VoIP services.

Consistent with the past several years, we continued to experience overall declines in revenue and access lines due to sustained competition and wireless substitution for landline telephone services in our regulated franchise area. Our purchase of certain assets of US Datanet Corporation on April 24, 2009 extends our CLEC customer base to upstate New York and selected other states and expands the scope of our product offerings to include business telecommunications conferencing and wholesale. The purchase is a component of our corporate strategy to profitably expand our business beyond our regulated franchise area.

Results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008

OPERATING REVENUES

Operating revenues for the three-month period ended June 30, 2009 increased by $468 (or 9%) from $5,377 in the same quarter in 2008 to $5,845. This increase was due primarily to:

An increase in data services revenue of $566 (or 42%) due mainly to the acquisition of US Datanet Corporation assets which includes product offerings for telecommunications conferencing, and wholesale, as well as our VoiceNet and DirecTV products.

An increase in network access revenue of $102 (or 6%) due mainly to an increase in funding from local switching support.

Partially offset by:

A decrease in long distance revenue of $69 (or 9%) due mainly to the effect of customers switching to our promotional prices and declining minutes of use.

A decrease in local network service revenue of $52 (or 7%) mainly as a result of access line loss attributable to competitive land line telephone service as well as wireless and VoIP substitutions.

A decrease in other services and sales revenue of $75 (or 15%) due primarily to lower revenue associated with private branch exchange (“PBX”) sales, circuit revenue, leased equipment, voice mail, inside wire and other ancillary services.

A decrease in directory service revenue of $16 (or 2%) due primarily to reduced sales associated with yellow page advertising.

OPERATING EXPENSES

Operating expenses for the three-month period ended June 30, 2009 increased by $1,255 (or 22%) from $5,670 to $6,925 for the same quarter in 2008. This increase was due primarily to:

Cost of services and products increased $532 (or 25%) primarily due to access and trunkline expense mainly associated with the integration costs of the asset purchase of US Datanet Corporation and higher content costs for video services.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $539 (or 22%) due primarily to the postretirement liability curtailment gain of $469 in 2008 resulting from the elimination of benefits of certain union employees as a result of the negotiation of a union agreement; $82 primarily associated with professional services and pension expenses. In addition, expenses related to billing services increased $46 associated with the integration costs of the asset purchase of US Datanet Corporation. These expenses were partially offset by cost reduction initiatives of $63.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased $184 (or 17%) primarily due to equipment associated with our VoIP product and depreciation associated with the acquisition of the US Datanet Corporation assets.

OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE)

Other income (expense) for the three-months ended June 30, 2009 increased $383 (or 14%) from $2,776 to $3,159 for the same quarter in 2008. This increase is due primarily to:

An increase in income from equity method investments of $514 from $2,574 from $3,088 in the same quarter 2008 as a result of increased earnings from our limited partnership interest in the Orange-Poughkeepsie Limited Partnership (“O-P”). The increased earnings from the O-P was primarily due to text messaging services.

Partially offset by:

A decrease in interest income (expense) by $129 for the current quarter mainly as a result of the reversal of accrued interest for the Company’s FIN 48 liability which was de-recognized due to the approval by the IRS to allow the reporting of its taxable income in future periods and the reversal of interest on New Jersey state taxes settled for less than amounts recorded.

Results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008

OPERATING REVENUES

Operating revenues for the six-month period ended June 30, 2009 increased by $366 (or 3%) from $11,021 to $11,387 during the same six-month period in 2008. This increase was due primarily to:

An increase in data services revenue of $676 (or 25%) due mainly to the acquisition of US Datanet Corporation assets, which includes product offerings for telecommunications conferencing and wholesale, as well as our VoiceNet and DirecTV products.

An increase in network access revenue of $126 (or 4%) due mainly to an increase in funding from local switching support.

Partially offset by:

A decrease in long distance revenue of $229 (or 15%) due mainly to the effect of customers switching to our promotional prices and declining minutes of use.

A decrease in local network service revenue of $90 (or 6%) mainly as a result of access line loss attributable to competitive land line telephone service as well as wireless and VoIP substitutions.

A decrease in other services and sales revenue of $102 (or 10%) due primarily to lower revenue associated with PBX sales, circuit revenue, leased equipment, voice mail, inside wire and other ancillary services.

A decrease in directory service revenue of $15 (or 2%) due primarily to reduced sales associated with yellow page advertising.

OPERATING EXPENSES

Operating expenses for the six-month period ended June 30, 2009 increased by $1,257 (or 10%) from $12,144 to $13,401 for the same six-month period in 2008. This increase was due primarily to:

Cost of services and products increased $593 (or 13%) primarily due to access and trunk-line costs mainly associated with the integration costs of the asset purchase of US Datanet Corporation and higher content costs for video services.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $651 (or 12%) due primarily to the postretirement liability curtailment gain of $469 in 2008 resulting from the elimination of benefits of certain union employees as a result of the negotiation of the union agreement. In addition, higher legal expenses, billing services and consulting fees of $326 were incurred primarily due to the acquisition of US Datanet Corporation. These increases were partially offset by $142 in lower bonus accruals and severance than was paid during the first quarter 2008.

OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE)

Other income (expense) for the six-month period ended June 30, 2009 increased $1,486 (or 31%) from $4,787 to $6,273 in the same quarter 2008. This increase is due primarily to:

An increase in income from equity method investments of $1,260 (or 27%) from $4,721 to $5,981 as a result of increased earnings from our investment in O-P in fiscal year 2008.

An increase in other income of $303 (or 773%) from an expense of $39 to income of $264 due mainly to the receipt of an insurance refund with respect to damages incurred in a December 2008 ice storm.

Partially offset by:

A decrease of interest income (expense) of $77 (or 73%) mainly as a result of the reversal of accrued interest for the Company’s FIN 48 liability which was de-recognized due to the approval by the IRS to allow the reporting of its taxable income in future periods.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We had $8,110 of cash and cash equivalents available at June 30, 2009, as compared with $7,677 at December 31, 2008. Our cash equivalents consist primarily of money market mutual funds and bank certificates of deposit.

We have a $4,000 line of credit with Provident Bank (the “Bank”), of which the entire amount remained unused at June 30, 2009. In the event of a drawdown, interest would be applied based on a variable rate that is a function of the Prime Commercial Lending Rate as listed in the Wall Street Journal. Borrowings are on a demand basis with limited restrictions relating to written notification to the Bank requesting a drawdown, the use of requested funds, and the expected means for repayment. As of June 30, 2009, $4,936 in principal amount was outstanding under the CoBank ACB term loan. The final payment is due July 20, 2012. We are required to make interest and outstanding principal payments in quarterly installments under the term loan.

CASH FROM OPERATING ACTIVITIES

Our primary source of funds continues to be generated from operations and cash distributions from the O-P. Our cash distributions from the O-P totaled $5,676 and $4,297 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The O-P’s cash distributions are made to us on a quarterly basis at the discretion of the general partner. The increase in the O-P’s revenues discussed in results of operations above reflects revenues as accrued for accounting purposes. The amounts discussed in this paragraph reflect actual cash receipts by us from the O-P. The increase in accounts payable was primarily due to the additional costs associated with our purchase of certain assets of US Datanet Corporation.

CASH FROM INVESTING ACTIVITIES

Capital expenditures totaled $930 during the six months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to $1,982 for the corresponding period of 2008. On April 24, 2009, the Company purchased certain assets of US Datanet Corporation for approximately $1,487.

CASH FROM FINANCING ACTIVITIES

Dividends declared on our common shares by the Board of Directors were $0.22 per share for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and were $0.20 for the three months ended June 30, 2008. The total amount of dividends paid on our common shares by us for each of the six-month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 was $2,368 and $2,141, respectively.

We had $5,464 of funds deposited in an interest bearing certificate of deposit with the Bank, our primary commercial bank at June 30, 2009. Under our term loan with CoBank, we have the option of choosing the following interest rate options: Weekly Quoted Variable Rate, Long-Term Fixed Quote and a Libor Option as such terms are described in the master loan agreement with CoBank. We do not believe that our exposure to interest rate risk is material.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Our management, with the participation of our President and Chief Executive Officer (Principal Executive Officer) and our Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer (Principal Financial Officer) have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based upon this evaluation, our President and Chief Executive Officer (Principal Executive Officer) and our Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer (Principal Financial Officer) have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2009.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

The following restates one of the risk factors that was previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, as amended in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, and should be read in connection therewith.

Weak economic conditions may impact demand for our services.

We could realize a change in demand for our services due to the ongoing recession. Downturns in the economy and continued competition in our markets may cause some of our existing customers to disconnect or scale back basic and enhanced services, high-speed Internet or video service, and it may become more difficult for us to acquire new customers. Furthermore, the current economic condition may prolong our payment collections interval and in some cases increase our need to discontinue service for nonpayment. The current economic conditions could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
