Item 9. Regulation FD Disclosure.

On June 25, 2002, Andersen Group, Inc. (the “Company”) sponsored “Wiring Moscow,” a presentation on the state and future of the broadband communications market in Moscow. At the presentation the speakers discussed a number of topics including the following:

     Acquisition of 100% Interest in CCTV

     In connection with the Company’s contemplated acquisition of ComCor-TV (“CCTV”) through a purchase of the 50% of CCTV currently owned by Moscow Telecommunications Corporation (“COMCOR”) and substantially all the 75% equity position in Moscow Broadband Communication Ltd. (“MBC”) that it does not presently own, the Company intends to file a proxy statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission seeking shareholder approval for (i) issuance of additional shares of the Company’s common stock, (ii) the acquisition of MBC interests and (iii) the acquisition of the remaining half of CCTV not currently owned by MBC. The estimated date for filing of the preliminary proxy is July 2002.

     Financing Options

     It is anticipated that it will cost US$200 million, including cost per home (US$55-73), infrastructure and working capital, over three years in order to build out CCTV’s license to provide broadband services to 1.5 million homes in the Moscow region. In order to provide sufficient capital for these costs, the Company may undertake either a private placement or underwritten public offering. CCTV may undertake a private placement or seek out a strategic investor or vendor financing.

     Competitive Landscape

     Among owners of home computers in Chertanovo and Khamovniki, CCTV has a 27.5 % market share for Internet access services.
