     You should carefully review the information contained in this Quarterly Report and in other reports or documents that we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). In this Quarterly Report, we state our beliefs of future events and of our future financial performance. In some cases, you can identify those so-called “forward-looking statements” by words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,” or “continue” or the negative of those words and other comparable words. You should be aware that those statements are only our predictions. Actual events or results may differ materially. Factors that could cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements include: competition in our video, high-speed Internet access and telephone businesses; our ability to achieve anticipated customer and revenue growth and to successfully introduce new products and services; increasing programming costs; changes in laws and regulations; our ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet our debt service obligations and the other risks and uncertainties discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 and other reports or documents that we file from time to time with the SEC. Those factors may cause our actual results to differ materially from any of our forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements attributable to us or a person acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement.

MEDIACOM COMMUNICATIONS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
(1) Statement of Accounting Presentation and Other Information
Basis of Preparation of Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
     Mediacom Communications Corporation (“MCC,” and collectively with its subsidiaries, the “Company”) has prepared these unaudited consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2005 and 2004. In the opinion of management, such statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial position for the interim periods presented. The accounting policies followed during such interim periods reported are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and are consistent with those applied during annual periods. For additional disclosures, including a summary of the Company’s accounting policies, the interim unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 (File No. 000-29227). The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that might be expected for future interim periods or for the full year ending December 31, 2005.
Revenue Recognition
     Revenues from video and data services are recognized when the services are provided to the customers. Credit risk is managed by disconnecting services to customers who are delinquent. Installation revenues are recognized as customer connections are completed because installation revenues are less than direct installation costs. Advertising sales are recognized in the period that the advertisements are exhibited. Under the terms of its franchise agreements, the Company is required to pay local franchising authorities up to 5% of its gross revenues derived from providing cable services. The Company normally passes these fees through to its customers. Franchise fees are reported in their respective revenue categories and included in selling, general and administrative expenses.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
     The allowance for doubtful accounts represents the Company’s best estimate of probable losses in the accounts receivable balance. The allowance is based on the number of days outstanding, customer balances, historical experience and other currently available information.
Programming Costs
     The Company has various fixed-term carriage contracts to obtain programming for its cable systems from content suppliers whose compensation is generally based on a fixed monthly fee per customer. These programming contracts are subject to negotiated renewal. The Company recognizes programming costs when it distributes the related programming. These programming costs are usually payable each month based on calculations performed by the Company and are subject to adjustments based on the results of periodic audits by the content suppliers. Historically, such audit adjustments have been immaterial to the Company’s total programming costs. Some content suppliers offer financial incentives to support the launch of a channel and ongoing marketing support. When such financial incentives are received, the Company records them as liabilities in its consolidated balance sheets and recognizes such amounts as a reduction of programming costs (which are a component of service costs in the consolidated statement of operations) over the carriage term of the programming contract.

Property, Plant and Equipment
     Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Additions to property, plant and equipment generally include material, labor and indirect costs. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the following useful lives:
     
Buildings
  40 years
Leasehold improvements
  Life of respective lease
Cable systems and equipments and subscriber devices
  4 to 20 years
Vehicles
  5 years
Furniture, fixtures and office equipment
  5 years
     The Company capitalizes the costs associated with the construction of cable transmission and distribution facilities, the addition of network and other equipment and new customer installations. Repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Capitalized costs include direct labor and material as well as certain indirect costs including interest. The Company performs periodic evaluations of certain estimates used to determine the amount and extent that such costs are capitalized. Any changes to these estimates, which may be significant, are applied prospectively in the period in which the evaluations were completed. The costs of disconnecting service at a customer’s dwelling or reconnecting to a previously installed dwelling are charged as expense in the period incurred. Costs associated with subsequent installations of additional services not previously installed at a customer’s dwelling are capitalized to the extent such costs are incremental and directly attributable to the installation of such additional services. At the time of retirements, sales or other dispositions of property, the original cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and the gains and losses are recorded in the consolidated statement of operations.
Long-Lived Assets
     In accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” the Company periodically evaluates the recoverability and estimated lives of its long-lived assets, including property and equipment and intangible assets subject to amortization, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable or the useful life has changed. When the carrying amount is not recoverable, the measurement for such impairment loss is based on the fair value of the asset, typically based upon the future cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk involved. Unless presented separately, the loss is included as a component of either depreciation expense or amortization expense, as appropriate.
Intangible Assets
     In accordance with SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” the amortization of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets is prohibited and requires such assets to be tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if impairment indicators arise. The Company has determined that its cable franchise costs and goodwill are indefinite-lived assets and therefore not amortizable. Other finite-lived intangible assets, which consist primarily of subscriber lists and covenants not to compete, continue to be amortized over their useful lives of 5 to 10 years and 5 years, respectively.
Derivative Instruments
     The Company accounts for derivative instruments in accordance with SFAS No. 133 “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” SFAS No. 138 “Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities-an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133,” and SFAS No. 149 “Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” These pronouncements require that all derivative instruments be recognized on the balance sheet at fair value. The Company enters into interest rate exchange agreements to fix the interest rate on a portion of its variable interest rate debt to reduce the potential volatility in its interest expense that would otherwise result from changes in market interest rates. The Company’s derivative instruments are recorded at fair value and are included in other current assets, other assets and other liabilities of its consolidated balance sheet. The Company’s accounting policies for these instruments are based on whether they meet its criteria for designation as hedging transactions, which include the instrument’s effectiveness, risk reduction and, in most cases, a one-to-one matching of the derivative instrument to its underlying transaction. Gains and losses from changes in fair values of derivatives that are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes are recognized in the consolidated statement of operations. The Company has no derivative financial instruments designated as hedges. Therefore, changes in fair value for the respective periods were recognized in the consolidated statement of operations.

Income Taxes
     The Company provides for income taxes using the liability method in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”, which requires an asset and liability based approach in accounting for income taxes. The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and expected benefits of utilizing net operating loss carryforwards. The Company periodically assesses the likelihood of realization of deferred tax assets and net operating loss carryforwards by considering the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected taxable income in future periods and the evaluation of available prudent tax planning strategies.
Comprehensive Income
     SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income,” requires companies to classify items of other comprehensive income by their nature in the financial statements and display the accumulated balance of other comprehensive income separately from retained earnings and additional paid-in capital in the equity section of a statement of financial position. The Company has had no other comprehensive income items to report.
Reclassifications
     Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year’s amounts to conform to the current year’s presentation.
(2) Recent Accounting Pronouncements
     In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R, “Amendment of Statement 123 on Share-Based Payment.” SFAS No. 123R requires companies to expense the value of employee stock options, stock granted through the employee stock purchase program and similar awards. On April 14, 2005, the SEC approved a new rule delaying the effective date until the beginning of a company’s next fiscal year that commences after June 15, 2005. The Company plans on adopting SFAS No. 123R effective January 1, 2006 and expects that the adoption of SFAS No. 123R will have a material impact on its consolidated statement of operations and earnings per share.
(3) Earnings Per Share
     The Company calculates earnings per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings per Share.” SFAS No. 128 computes basic earnings (loss) per share by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period plus the effects of any dilutive potential common shares. Diluted earnings per share considers the dilutive impact of potential common shares except in periods in which there is a net loss because the inclusion of the potential common shares would have an anti-dilutive effect. The Company’s potential common shares include common shares that may be issued upon the exercise of stock options, conversion of convertible senior notes or vesting of restricted stock units.
     For the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, the Company generated net losses and so the potential common shares were anti-dilutive. Accordingly, diluted loss per share equaled basic loss per share. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, diluted earnings per share excludes of 1.1 million potential common shares related to the Company’s stock options and restricted stock units, and 9.2 million potential common shares related to the Company’s convertible senior notes, because the assumed issuance of such potential common shares is anti-dilutive.

(7) Debt
     As of June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, debt consisted of (dollars in thousands):
                 
    June 30,     December 31,  
    2005   2004
Bank credit facilities
  1,818,000     1,606,500

Total long-term debt
  2,973,550     2,966,932  
 
           
     The average interest rates on outstanding debt under the bank credit facilities as of June 30, 2005 and 2004, were 5.1% and 2.9%, respectively, before giving effect to the interest rate exchange agreements discussed below. As of June 30, 2005, the Company had unused credit commitments of approximately $645.7 million under its bank credit facilities, all of which could be borrowed and used for general corporate purposes based on the terms and conditions of the Company’s debt arrangements. The Company was in compliance with all covenants under its debt arrangements as of and for all periods through June 30, 2005.
     The Company uses interest rate exchange agreements in order to fix the interest rate on its floating rate debt. As of June 30, 2005, the Company had interest rate exchange agreements with various banks pursuant to which the interest rate on $800.0 million is fixed at a weighted average rate of approximately 3.3%. Under the terms of the interest rate exchange agreements, which expire from 2006 through 2009, the Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other parties. However, due to the creditworthiness of the Company’s counterparties, which are major banking firms with investment grade ratings, the Company does not anticipate their nonperformance. At the end of each quarterly reporting period, the carrying values of these swap agreements are marked to market. The fair values of these agreements are the estimated amounts that the Company would receive or pay to terminate such agreements, taking into account market interest rates, the remaining time to maturity and the creditworthiness of the Company’s counterparties. At June 30, 2005, based on the mark-to-market valuation, the Company recorded on its consolidated balance sheet an accumulated investment in derivatives of $7.9 million, which is a component of other assets, and a derivative liability of $1.2 million, which is recorded in accounts payable and accrued expenses and other non-current liabilities.
     As a result of the mark-to-market valuations of these interest rate swaps, the Company recorded a loss of $1.6 million and a gain of $21.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and gains of $6.4 million and $13.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
     In April 2005, the Company redeemed all of its outstanding 81/2% Senior Notes due 2008 (the “Notes”). The redemption price was equal to 101.417% of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes plus accrued interest. The Company has recorded in its consolidated statement of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $4.7 million, representing $2.8 million of call premium and the write- off of $1.9 million of unamortized original issue discount and deferred financing costs. The Company funded the redemption with a combination of cash on hand and borrowings under the revolving credit portion of the Company’s credit facilities.

     In May 2005, the Company refinanced a $496.3 million term loan with a new term loan in the amount of $500.0 million. Borrowings under the new term loan bear interest at a rate that is 0.5% less than the interest rate of the term loan it replaced. The new term loan matures in February 2014, whereas the term loan it replaced had a maturity of September 2010.
     As of June 30, 2005, approximately $19.3 million letters of credit were issued to various parties as collateral for the Company’s performance relating primarily to insurance and franchise requirements.
(8) Stock-Based Compensation
     The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations, as permitted by SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” (“SFAS No. 123”) as amended. Compensation expense for stock options, restricted stock units and other equity awards to employees is recorded by measuring the intrinsic value, defined as the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the stock on the date of the grant over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock, and amortizing the intrinsic value to compensation expense over the vesting period of the award.
     During the six months ended June 30, 2005, the Company granted stock options and restricted stock units to certain employees and directors. The stock options were granted in three tranches. The first tranche was a grant of 230,000 stock options at an exercise price of $5.42 and vests equally over four years. The second tranche was a grant of 300,000 stock options at an exercise price of $6.29 and vests equally over three years. The third tranche was a grant of 50,000 stock options at an exercise price of $5.85 per share and vests equally over two years. The Company also granted restricted stock units in three tranches. The first tranche was a grant of 118,900 restricted stock units at a grant price of $5.69 and vests equally over four years. The second tranche was a grant of 990,000 restricted stock units at a grant price of $5.42 with a cliff vest at the end of four years. The third tranche was a grant of 25,000 restricted stock units at a grant price of $5.85 and vests equally over two years.
     No compensation cost has been recognized for any stock option grants in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations since the exercise price of the options was at the fair market value at the date of grant. As of June 30, 2005, the Company has recorded $6.2 million of intrinsic value related to the restricted stock unit awards as deferred compensation and additional paid-in capital in its consolidated balance sheets, and during the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, the Company amortized $0.2 million and $0.5 million, respectively, of deferred compensation as compensation expense in its consolidated statement of operations.

The effects of applying SFAS No. 123 in the pro forma net (loss) income disclosure above are not likely to be representative of the effects on the pro forma disclosure in the future.
(9) Legal Proceedings
     On April 5, 2004, a lawsuit was filed against MCC, MCC Georgia LLC, an indirect subsidiary of MCC and other, currently unnamed potential defendants in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado by Echostar Satellite LLC, which operates a direct broadcast satellite business under the name “Dish Network”. Echostar alleged that MCC and MCC Georgia have used, without authorization, Dish Network satellite dishes activated under residential accounts to receive the signals of certain broadcast television stations in one or more locations in Georgia and that the defendants have then been redistributing those signals, through its cable systems, to its subscribers. Among other claims, the complaint filed by Echostar alleged that these actions violate a provision of the Communications Act of 1934 (47 U.S.C. Sec. 605) that prohibits unauthorized interception of radio communications. The plaintiff sought injunctive relief, actual and statutory damages, disgorgement of profits, punitive damages and litigation costs, including attorneys’ fees.
     On June 29, 2004, Echostar amended its complaint to also alleged that this conduct amounted to a breach of the contract between Echostar and one of the Company’s employees, who allegedly acted as an agent for the defendants, by which the Company received the Echostar satellite signal. On September 7, 2004, the U.S. District Court granted the Company’s motion to transfer the case to the Middle District of Georgia, where venue is proper and where personal jurisdiction over the Company exists.
     On August 2, 2005, the Company settled its litigation with EchoStar for an amount which is not significant to the Company’s financial condition, operations or cash flows. Neither party admitted liability concerning the matter.
     The Company also is involved in various other legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have significant or adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, operations, or cash flows.

(10) Share Repurchase Program
     The Company repurchased 1,082,382 shares of Class A Common Stock for approximately $6.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2005, pursuant to its Board authorized repurchase program.
(11) Sale of Assets and Investments

The net gain for the second quarter of 2005 was due to the sale of a portion of the Company’s investment in American Independence Corporation common stock. The gain for the respective period in 2004 was due to the sale of a non-strategic cable system with approximately 3,450 subscribers for gross proceeds of about $10.6 million.
(12) Related Party Transactions
     Mediacom Management Corporation (“Mediacom Management”), a Delaware corporation, holds a 1% direct ownership interest in Mediacom California LLC, which in turn holds a 1% interest in Mediacom Arizona LLC. These ownership interests represent less than 1% of the Company’s total revenues. Mediacom Management is wholly-owned by the Chairman and CEO of MCC.
     One of the Company’s directors is a partner of a law firm that performs various legal services for the Company. For the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, the Company paid this law firm approximately $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively, for services performed.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
     The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements as of, and for the three and six months ended, June 30, 2005 and 2004, and with the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.
Overview
     Mediacom Communications Corporation is currently the nation’s eighth largest cable television company based on customers served and the leading cable operator focused on serving the smaller cities and towns in the United States. Through our interactive broadband network, we provide our customers with a wide array of broadband products and services, including analog and digital video services, such as video-on-demand (“VOD”), high-definition television (“HDTV”) and digital video recorders (“DVRs”), high-speed data access (“HSD”) and beginning in June 2005 in certain markets, residential cable telephony. We currently offer video and HSD bundles and, with the introduction of cable telephony in certain markets, we offer triple-play bundles of video, HSD and voice. Bundled products and services offer our customers a single provider contact for provisioning, billing and customer care.
     As of June 30, 2005, our cable systems passed an estimated 2.80 million homes and served 1.45 million basic subscribers in 23 states. We provide digital video services to 455,000 digital customers, representing a penetration of 31.5% of our basic subscribers. We also currently provide HSD to 426,000 data customers, representing a penetration of 15.2% of our estimated homes passed.
     We have faced increasing levels of competition for our video programming services over the past few years, mostly from direct broadcast satellite (“DBS”) service providers. Since they have been permitted to deliver local television broadcast signals beginning in 1999, DirecTV, Inc. and Echostar Communications Corporation, the two largest DBS service providers, have been increasing the number of markets in which they deliver these local television signals. These “local-into-local” launches have been the primary cause of our loss of basic subscribers in recent periods. By year-end 2004, competitive local-into-local services in our markets covered an estimated 92% of our basic subscribers, as compared to an estimated 62% and 28% at year-end 2003 and 2002, respectively. We believe, based on publicly announced new market launches, that DBS service providers will launch local television channels in additional markets in 2005 representing a modest amount of our subscriber base.

     Revenues rose 3.6%, largely attributable to an increase in data and advertising revenues, partially offset by a decrease in video revenues.
     Video revenues decreased 0.4%, as a result of a 3.0% reduction in basic subscribers from 1,491,000 as of June 30, 2004, to 1,446,000 as of June 30, 2005, offset in part by the impact of rate increases applied on our subscribers and higher fees from our advanced video products and services. Average monthly video revenue per basic subscriber rose 3.7% from $47.77 to $49.52. Our loss of basic subscribers substantially occurred in 2004, resulting primarily from increased competitive pressures by DBS service providers and, to a lesser extent, from our tightened customer credit policies throughout 2004 and the impact of Hurricane Ivan. To reverse this basic subscriber trend, we increased the emphasis on product bundling and on enhancing and differentiating our video products and services with new digital packages, VOD, HDTV, DVRs and more local programming. Partly as a result of these efforts, our loss of basic subscribers decreased significantly during the six months ended June 30, 2005, with a loss of 12,000 basic subscribers, compared to a loss of 52,000 in the same period last year. During the three months ended June 30, 2005, we lost 15,000 basic subscribers, compared to a loss of 42,000 in the same period last year. In addition, our digital television product category has rebounded significantly, growing 59,000 digital customers during the six months ended June 30, 2005, compared to a loss of 10,000 in the same period last year. We had 455,000 digital customers as of June 30, 2005, compared to 373,000 as of June 30, 2004. Historically, we experience a seasonal decline in basic subscribers during the second quarter as a significant portion of college students in our markets typically disconnect at the end of the school year.
     Data revenues rose 24.7%, primarily due to a 30.3% year-over-year increase in data customers from 327,000 to 426,000 and, to a much lesser extent, an increased contribution from our commercial enterprise business. Average monthly data revenue per data customer decreased from $40.72 to $38.35, largely due to various promotional offers since mid-year 2004.
     Advertising revenues increased 8.0%, as a result of stronger national and regional advertising. This was offset in part by a decline in political advertising, which is expected to be much lower in 2005 when compared to the 2004 election year.
Costs and Expenses
     Service costs include: programming expenses; employee expenses related to wages and salaries of technical personnel who maintain our cable network, perform customer installation activities, and provide customer support; data costs, including costs of bandwidth connectivity, customer provisioning; and field operating costs, including outside contractors, vehicle, utilities and pole rental expenses. Programming expenses, which are payments to programmers for content and are generally paid on a per subscriber basis, have historically increased due to both increases in the rates charged for existing programming services and the introduction of new programming services to our customers.
     Service costs grew 7.4%, primarily due to increases in programming, field operating and employee costs. Programming costs increased 5.7%, as a result of lower launch support received from our programming suppliers in return for our carriage of their services and higher unit costs charged by them, significantly offset by a lower base of basic subscribers during the quarter ended June 30, 2005. Field operating costs rose 18.8%, primarily due to the greater use of outside contractors to service higher levels of customer activity and, to a lesser extent, increases in plant repairs and maintenance and vehicle related costs. Employee related costs grew 7.2%, primarily due to increased headcount, overtime and commissions related to higher levels of customer activity, network maintenance and greater staffing of technical support for our data business, partially offset by a decrease in certain employee insurance expenses. Service costs as a percentage of revenues were 38.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to 37.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2004.
     Selling, general and administrative expenses include: wages and salaries for our call centers, customer service and support and administrative personnel; franchise fees and taxes; and office costs related to billing, telecommunications, marketing, bad debt, advertising and office administration.

Table of Contents

     Selling, general and administrative expenses rose 8.4%, principally due to higher employee and marketing costs related to increased customer activity, partially offset by a decrease in bad debt expense. Employee costs increased 23.2%, primarily due to higher staffing, commissions and benefit costs of customer service and direct sales personnel. Marketing costs grew 16.0% as a result of increased costs associated with contracted direct sales personnel and advertising campaigns. The increase in selling, general and administrative expense was offset by an 8.5% decrease in bad debt expense as a result of more effective customer credit and collection activities. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues were 21.1% and 20.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
     We expect continued revenue growth in advanced services, which include digital video, HDTV, DVRs, HSD and residential cable telephony. As a result, we expect our service costs and selling, general and administrative expenses to increase.
     Corporate expenses reflect compensation of corporate employees and other corporate overhead. Corporate expenses rose 13.3%, principally due to increases in employee compensation including amortization of non-cash stock-based compensation, and lower capitalization of labor and overhead costs related to capital project activities in 2005. Corporate expenses as a percentage of revenues were 2.0% and 1.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
     Depreciation and amortization decreased 3.1%, as a result of asset retirements and a sale of cable system assets in 2004, offset in part by increased depreciation for ongoing investments to continue the rollout of products and services and for investments in our cable network.
Interest Expense, Net
     Interest expense, net, increased by 5.8%, primarily due to higher market interest rates on variable rate debt. This increase was offset in part by the redemption of our 81/2% Senior Notes due 2008 (“81/2% Senior Notes”) with lower cost bank borrowings.
Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt
     The 81/2% Senior Notes were redeemed at a price equal to 101.417% of the outstanding principal amount. As a result of the redemption, we incurred a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $4.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005. The loss consisted of $2.8 million of call premium and the write-off of $1.9 million of unamortized original issue discount and deferred financing costs.
Gain (Loss) on Derivatives, Net
     We enter into interest rate exchange agreements or “interest rate swaps”, with counterparties to fix the interest rate on a portion of our variable rate debt to reduce the potential volatility in our interest expense that would otherwise result from changes in variable market interest rates. As of June 30, 2005 we had interest rate swaps with an aggregate principal amount of $800.0 million. The changes in their mark-to-market values are derived from changes in market interest rates, the decrease in their time to maturity and the creditworthiness of the counterparties. As a result of the quarterly mark-to-market valuation of these interest rate swaps, we recorded a net loss on derivatives amounting to $1.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to a gain on derivatives of $21.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004.
Gain on Sale of Assets and Investments, Net
     We recorded a net gain on sale of assets and investments of $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and $5.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004. The net gain for the second quarter of 2005 was due to the sale of a portion of our investment in American Independence Corporation common stock. The net gain for the second quarter of 2004 was due to the sale of a non-strategic cable system with approximately 3,450 subscribers for gross proceeds of about $10.6 million.

Other Expense
     Other expense was $2.5 million and $2.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Other expense primarily represents amortization of original issue discounts and deferred financing costs and fees on unused credit commitments.
Benefit from (Provision for) Income Taxes
     Benefit from income taxes was approximately $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to a provision for income taxes of $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004. Our income taxes relate to state income tax liabilities.
Net (Loss) Income
     As a result of the factors described above, we incurred a net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2005 of $6.0 million, as compared to net income of $30.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004.

     Revenues rose 2.4%, largely attributable to an increase in data and advertising revenues, significantly offset by a decrease in video revenues.
     Video revenues decreased 1.6%, as a result of a 3.0% reduction in basic subscribers from 1,491,000 as of June 30, 2004, to 1,446,000 as of June 30, 2005, offset in part by the impact of rate increases applied on our basic subscribers and higher fees from our advanced video products and services. Average monthly video revenue per basic subscriber increased 2.8% from $47.54 to $48.87.
     Data revenues rose 23.7%, primarily due to a 30.3% year-over-year increase in data customers from 327,000 to 426,000 and, to a much lesser extent, an increased contribution from our commercial enterprise business. Average monthly data revenue per data customer decreased from $41.29 to $39.07, largely due to various promotional offers since mid-year 2004.
     Advertising revenues increased 7.3%, as a result of stronger national and regional advertising. This was offset in part by a decline in political advertising, which is expected to be much lower in 2005 when compared to the 2004 election year.
Costs and Expenses
     Service costs increased 6.2%, primarily due to increases in programming, field operating and employee costs. Programming costs increased 3.5%, as a result of lower launch support received from our programming suppliers in return for our carriage of their services and higher unit costs charged by them, significantly offset by a lower base of basic subscribers for the six months ended June 30, 2005. Field operating costs rose 19.4%, primarily due to the greater use of outside contractors to service higher levels of customer activity and, to a lesser extent, increases in vehicle related costs and plant maintenance and converter repairs. Employee related costs grew 4.5%, primarily due to increased headcount, overtime and commissions related to higher levels of customer activity and network maintenance and greater staffing of our technical support for our data business, partially offset by a decrease in certain employee insurance expenses. Service costs as a percentage of revenues were 39.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to 37.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2004.
     Selling, general and administrative expenses rose 6.8%, principally due to higher employee and marketing costs, partially offset by a significant decrease in bad debt expense. Employee costs increased 15.5%, primarily due to higher staffing and benefit costs. Marketing costs grew 26.7% as a result of increased costs associated with contracted direct sales personnel and advertising campaigns to support sales of our products and services. This increase in selling, general and administrative expense was significantly offset by a 21.4% decrease in bad debt expense as a result of more effective customer credit and collection activities. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues were 21.0% and 20.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Table of Contents

     We expect continued revenue growth in advanced services, which include digital video, HDTV, DVRs, HSD and residential cable telephony. As a result, we expect our service costs and selling, general and administrative expenses to increase.
     Corporate expenses reflect compensation of corporate employees and other corporate overhead. Corporate expenses rose 10.6%, principally due to increases in employee compensation including amortization of non-cash stock-based compensation and, to a lesser extent, higher professional service fees. Corporate expenses as a percentage of revenues were 2.0% and 1.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
     Depreciation and amortization decreased 0.5%, as a result of asset retirements and a sale of cable system assets in 2004, offset in part by increased depreciation for ongoing investments to continue the rollout of products and services and for investments in our cable network.
Interest Expense, Net
     Interest expense, net, increased by 7.2%, primarily due to higher market interest rates on variable rate debt. This increase was offset in part by the redemption of our 81/2% Senior Notes with lower cost bank borrowings for the six months ended June 30, 2005.
Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt
     The 81/2% Senior Notes were redeemed at a price equal to 101.417% of the outstanding principal amount. As a result of the redemption, we incurred a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $4.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005. The loss consisted of $2.8 million of call premium and the write-off of $1.9 million of unamortized original issue discount and deferred financing costs.
Gain (Loss) on Derivatives, Net
     We enter into interest rate exchange agreements or “interest rate swaps”, with counterparties to fix the interest rate on a portion of our variable rate debt to reduce the potential volatility in our interest expense that would otherwise result from changes in variable market interest rates. As of June 30, 2005 we had interest rate swaps with an aggregate principal amount of $800.0 million. The changes in their mark-to-market values are derived from changes in market interest rates, the decrease in their time to maturity and the creditworthiness of the counterparties. As a result of the quarterly mark-to-market valuation of these interest rate swaps, we recorded a gain on derivatives amounting to $6.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to a gain on derivatives of $13.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004.
Gain on Sale of Asset and Investments, Net
     We recorded a net gain on sale of assets and investments of $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and $5.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004. The net gain for the second quarter of 2005 was due to the sale of a portion of our investment in American Independence Corporation common stock. The net gain for the six months ended June 30, 2004 was due to the sale of a non-strategic cable system with approximately 3,450 subscribers for gross proceeds of about $10.6 million.
Other Expense
     Other expense was $5.2 million and $4.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Other expense primarily represents amortization of original issue discounts and deferred financing costs and fees on unused credit commitments.
Benefit from (Provision for) Income Taxes
     Benefit from income taxes was approximately $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to a provision for income taxes of $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004. Our income taxes relate to state income tax liabilities.

Net Loss (Income)
     As a result of the factors described above, we incurred a net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2005 of $6.8 million, as compared to net income of $24.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
     As an integral part of our business plan, we have invested, and will continue to invest, significant amounts in our cable systems to enhance their reliability and capacity, which allows for the introduction of new advanced broadband services. Our capital investments have recently shifted away from upgrading the cable systems’ broadband network to the deployment of new products and services, including digital video, VOD, HDTV, DVRs, HSD and residential cable telephony. During 2005, we expect to spend between $215 million and $225 million on capital expenditures. In the six months ended June 30, 2005, we made $111.9 million of capital expenditures. Although we did not make any strategic acquisitions or sales of cable systems during the six months ended June 30, 2005, we have historically entered into such transactions and may continue to do so in the future.
     We have a significant level of debt. As of June 30, 2005, our total debt was $3.02 billion. Of this amount, $46.5 million and $233.9 million mature within the twelve months ending June 30, 2006 and 2007, respectively. We continue to improve our debt maturity profile through refinancing of debt, as discussed below. Given our level of indebtedness, we also have significant interest expense obligations. During the six months ended June 30, 2005, we paid cash interest of $105.0 million. Our cash interest payments have historically been higher in the first and third calendar quarters of the year due to the timing of the cash interest payments on our senior notes and convertible senior notes.
     During the six months ended June 30, 2005, we generated $106.0 million of net cash flows from operating activities, which together with the $12.4 million decrease in our cash balances funded net cash flows used in investing activities of $109.8 million and net cash flows used in financing activities of $8.6 million. Our cash requirements were predominantly capital expenditures during the six months ended June 30, 2005.
     As of June 30, 2005, we had unused credit commitments of about $645.7 million under our bank credit facilities, all of which could be borrowed and used for general corporate purposes based on the terms and conditions of our debt arrangements. For all periods through June 30, 2005, we were in compliance with all of the covenants under our debt arrangements. Continued access to our credit facilities is subject to our remaining in compliance with the covenants of these credit facilities, including covenants tied to our operating performance. We believe that we will not have any difficulty in the foreseeable future complying with these covenants and that we will meet our current and long-term debt service, capital spending and other cash requirements through a combination of our net cash flows from operating activities, borrowing availability under our bank credit facilities and our ability to secure future external financing. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain sufficient future financing, or, if we were able to do so, that the terms would be favorable to us.
Operating Activities
     Net cash flows provided by operating activities were $106.0 million and $113.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. This decrease was principally due to the decline in operating income offset in part by the timing of cash receipts and expense in our working capital accounts.
Investing Activities
     Net cash flows used in investing activities were $109.8 million and $74.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. This increase was substantially due to higher capital expenditures, which rose to $111.9 million from $81.0 million in the same period last year, resulting mainly from greater levels of customer connection activities and, to a lesser extent, from network upgrades and the planned investment in our regional fiber network. The capital expenditures to cover the higher customer connection activity include increased unit purchases

of customer premise equipment, including the more expensive HDTV and DVR set-tops, and the related installation costs.
Financing Activities
     Net cash flows used in financing activities were $8.6 million and $42.3 for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Our financing activities included the following:
     In January 2005, we borrowed the full amount of our $200.0 million delayed-draw term loan facility and used the proceeds to reduce outstanding balances under our revolving credit facilities.
     In April 2005, we redeemed all of our outstanding 81/2% Senior Notes. The redemption price was equal to 101.417% of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes plus accrued interest. We funded the redemption with a combination of cash on hand and borrowings under the revolving credit portion of our credit facilities.
     In May 2005, we refinanced a $496.3 million term loan with a new term loan in the amount of $500.0 million. Borrowings under the new term loan bear interest at a rate that is 0.5% less than the interest rate of the term loan it replaced. The new term loan matures in February 2014, whereas the term loan it replaced had a maturity of September 2010.
     During the six months ended June 30, 2005, we funded our book overdraft of $10.2 million. Book overdrafts represent outstanding checks in excess of funds on deposit at our disbursement accounts.
     Pursuant to our Board authorized repurchase program, we repurchased 1,082,382 shares of our Class A Common Stock for approximately $6.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2005.
Other
     We have entered into interest rate exchange agreements with counterparties, which expire from June 2005 through March 2009, to hedge $800.0 million of floating rate debt. Under the terms of all of our interest rate exchange agreements, we are exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other parties of the agreements. However, due to the high creditworthiness of our counterparties, which are major banking firms with investment grade ratings, we do not anticipate their nonperformance. As of June 30, 2005, about 66% of our outstanding indebtedness was at fixed interest rates or subject to interest rate protection and our annualized cost of debt was approximately 6.7%.
     As of June 30, 2005, approximately $19.3 million of letters of credit were issued to various parties as collateral for our performance relating to insurance and franchise requirements.

Critical Accounting Policies
     The foregoing discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Periodically, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to doubtful accounts, long-lived assets, capitalized costs and accruals. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe that the application of the critical accounting policies discussed below requires significant judgments and estimates on the part of management. For a summary of our accounting policies, see Note 1 of our unaudited consolidated financial statements.
Revenue Recognition
     Revenues from video and data services are recognized when the services are provided to the customers. Credit risk is managed by disconnecting services to customers who are delinquent. Installation revenues obtained from the connection of customers to our communications network are less than direct installation costs. Therefore, installation revenues are recognized as connections are completed. Advertising sales are recognized in the period that the advertisements are exhibited. Under the terms of our franchise agreements, we are required to pay up to 5% of our gross revenues, derived from providing cable services, to the local franchising authorities. We normally pass these fees through to our customers. Franchise fees are collected on a monthly basis and are periodically remitted to local franchise authorities. Franchise fees are reported in their respective revenue categories and included in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
     The allowance for doubtful accounts represents our best estimate of probable losses in the accounts receivable balance. The allowance is based on the number of days outstanding, customer balances, historical experience and other currently available information.
Programming Costs
     We have various fixed-term carriage contracts to obtain programming for our cable systems from content suppliers whose compensation is generally based on a fixed monthly fee per customer. These programming contracts are subject to negotiated renewal. We recognize programming costs when we distribute the related programming. These programming costs are usually payable each month based on calculations performed by the us and are subject to adjustments based on the results of periodic audits by the content suppliers. Historically, such audit adjustments have been immaterial to our total programming costs. Some content suppliers offer financial incentives to support the launch of a channel and ongoing marketing support. When such financial incentives are received, we defer them within non-current liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets and recognize such amounts as a reduction of programming costs (which are a component of service costs in the consolidated statement of operations) over the carriage term of the programming contract.
Property, Plant and Equipment
     We capitalize the costs of new construction and replacement of our cable transmission and distribution facilities; the addition of network and other equipment, and new customer service installations. Capitalized costs include all direct labor and materials as well as certain indirect costs and are based on historical construction and installation costs. Capitalized costs are recorded as additions to property, plant and equipment and depreciate over the life of the related asset. We perform periodic evaluations of certain estimates used to determine the amount and extent of such costs that are capitalized. Any changes to these estimates, which may be significant, are applied prospectively in the periods in which the evaluations were completed.
Long-Lived Assets
     In accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” we periodically evaluate the recoverability and estimated lives of our long-lived assets, including property and equipment and intangible assets subject to amortization, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable or the useful life has changed. When the carrying amount is not recoverable, the measurement for such impairment loss is based on the fair value of the asset, typically based upon the future cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk involved. Any loss is included as a component of either depreciation expense or amortization expense, as appropriate, unless it is material to the period in question whereby we would present it separately.
Intangibles
     In accordance with SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets", the amortization of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets is prohibited and requires such assets to be tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if impairment indicators arise. We have determined that our cable franchise costs are indefinite-lived assets. We completed our most recent impairment test as of October 1, 2004, which reflected no impairment of our franchise costs and goodwill. As of June 30, 2005, there were no events since then that would require an analysis to be completed before the next annual test date.
Derivative Instruments
     We account for derivative instruments in accordance with SFAS No. 133 “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” SFAS No. 138 “Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities-an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133,” and SFAS No. 149 “Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” Our primary objective for holding derivative financial instruments is to manage interest rate risk. Our derivative instruments are recorded at fair value and are included in

Table of Contents

other current assets, other assets and other liabilities. Our accounting policies for these instruments are based on whether they meet our criteria for designation as hedging transactions, which include the instrument’s effectiveness in risk reduction and, in most cases, a one-to-one matching of the derivative instrument to its underlying transaction. We have no derivative financial instruments designated as hedges. Gains and losses from changes in the mark-to-market values are currently recognized in the consolidated statement of operations. Short-term valuation changes derived from changes in market interest rates, time to maturity and the creditworthiness of the counterparties may increase the volatility of earnings.
Income Taxes
     We provide for income taxes using the liability method in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” which requires an asset and liability based approach in accounting for income taxes. We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and expected benefits of utilizing net operating loss carryforwards. We periodically assess the likelihood of realization of deferred tax assets and net operating loss carryforwards by considering the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected taxable income in future periods and the evaluation of available prudent tax planning strategies. If our assessment changes in the future, we may be required to adjust our valuation allowance against deferred tax assets, resulting in either an increase or decrease in income tax expense in our consolidated statement of operations.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
     In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R, “Amendment of Statement 123 on Share-Based Payment.” SFAS No. 123R requires companies to expense the value of employee stock options, stock granted through the employee stock purchase program and similar awards. SFAS No. 123R was originally effective for interim periods beginning after June 15, 2005. On April 14, 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission approved a new rule delaying the effective date until the beginning of a company’s next fiscal year that commences after June 15, 2005. We plan on adopting SFAS No. 123R effective January 1, 2006 and expect that the adoption of SFAS No. 123R will have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations and earnings per share.
Inflation and Changing Prices
     Our systems’ costs and expenses are subject to inflation and price fluctuations. Such changes in costs and expenses can generally be passed through to subscribers. Programming costs have historically increased at rates in excess of inflation and are expected to continue to do so. We believe that under the Federal Communications Commission’s existing cable rate regulations we may increase rates for cable television services to more than cover any increases in programming. However, competitive conditions and other factors in the marketplace may limit our ability to increase rates.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
     In the normal course of business, we use interest rate swaps to fix the interest rate on our variable interest rate debt. As of June 30, 2005, we had $800.0 million of interest rate swaps with various banks with a weighted average fixed rate of approximately 3.3%. The fixed rates of the interest rate swaps are offset against the applicable three-month London Interbank Offering Rate to determine the related interest expense. Under the terms of the interest rate exchange agreements, which expire from 2006 through 2009, we are exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other parties. However, due to the high creditworthiness of our counterparties, which are major banking firms with investment grade ratings, we do not anticipate their nonperformance. At June 30, 2005, based on the mark-to-market valuation, we would have received approximately $6.7 million, including accrued interest, if we terminated these agreements.
     The table below provides the new expected maturity and estimated fair value of our debt as of June 30, 2005 (dollars in thousands). See Note 7 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
     Our management carried out an evaluation, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2005. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act are accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
     There has not been any change in our internal control over financial reporting in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) under the Exchange Act that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2005 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
     A summary of our repurchases of Class A common shares during the quarter under the $50.0 million repurchase program, authorized by our Board of Directors in May 2000 and reaffirmed on August 3, 2004, are as follows:

     During the quarter ended June 30, 2005, we granted stock options to our non-employee directors to purchase an aggregate of 50,000 shares of Class A Common Stock at an exercise of $5.85 per share. The grant of stock options to the non-employee directors was not registered under the Securities Act of 1933 because the stock options either (i) did not involve an offer or sale for purposes of Section 2(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, in reliance on the fact that the stock options were granted for no consideration, or (ii) were offered and sold in transactions not involving a public offering, which nonpublic transactions are exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 pursuant to Section 4(2).
