 Sonnenberg, Chairman and Chief Executive of ACS Enterprises, said, "We are satisfied with our subscriber growth, adding 8,200 total net new subscribers, giving us a total of approximately 86,900 subscribers at the end of the second quarter. Our strong revenue gain and subscriber generation is primarily due to the addition of single family homes to our systems.

Additionally, our summer promotional campaigns and subscriber retention programs continue to attract customers seeking the affordable, dependable service ACS offers." However, absent suitable sources of working capital, the Company will have to slow the addition of new subscribers in any significant amount until additional capital becomes available. In August 1995, the Company reduced installation efforts to match available capital resources.

As previously announced, on March 28th 1995, ACS Enterprises entered into a definitive agreement to merge with a wholly-owned subsidiary of CAI (1) (Computer-Assisted Instruction) Same as CBT.
