Exhibit 99.3

Knology, Inc.

Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are based on the historical financial statements of Knology, Inc. (“Knology”) and Sunflower Broadband (A Division of the World Company) (“Sunflower”) after giving effect to the Sunflower acquisition under the purchase method of accounting and to the assumptions and adjustments described in the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements. We acquired the operations on October 15, 2010. The pro forma condensed combined balance sheet was prepared as if the acquisition occurred on June 30, 2010 and the pro forma condensed combined statement of operations was prepared as if the acquisition had occurred January 1, 2009. The condensed combined pro forma balance sheet has been prepared using our June 30, 2010 information and Sunflower’s information as of the acquisition date. We believe this presentation is the most informative and transparent pro forma balance sheet because it reflects the company as acquired.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial data should be read in conjunction with the historical consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto of Knology included in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 and in our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 and the historical financial statements of Sunflower included elsewhere in this Form 8-K/A. These unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are based on preliminary estimates of purchase price allocations, do not reflect any direct costs or potential savings which may result from the Sunflower acquisition, and are not necessarily indicative of the results that would actually have occurred had the transaction been consummated at the dates indicated, nor are they necessarily indicative of future operating results or financial position of the combined company. We do not currently anticipate that the final purchase price allocation will be materially different from our preliminary estimates.

Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements

(dollars in thousands)

Pursuant to an asset purchase agreement, dated as of October 15, 2010, we agreed to purchase all the assets of Sunflower Broadband (“Sunflower”) for $165.0 million cash.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial data has been prepared assuming that the Sunflower acquisition will be accounted for under the purchase method and is based on our historical consolidated financial statements and those of Sunflower.

The pro forma adjustments represent management’s best estimate based on available information at this time. We have engaged third party firms to assist us in determining the value of tangible and intangible assets acquired. Actual adjustments will differ from those reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial data once the valuation is finalized.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial data should be read in conjunction with our historical consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto and those of Sunflower included elsewhere in this Form 8-K/A.
