Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
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. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or those we anticipate. Factors that could cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: existing and future competition in our video, high-speed Internet access and phone businesses; our ability to achieve anticipated customer and revenue growth and to successfully implement our growth strategy, including the introduction of new products and services and acquisitions; increasing programming costs; changes in laws and regulations; our ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet our debt service obligations and access capital to maintain our financial flexibility; our Class B common stock has substantial voting rights and, through his beneficial ownership of the Class B common stock, our Chairman and CEO generally has the ability to control the outcome of all matters requiring stockholder approval; and the other risks and uncertainties discussed in this Quarterly Report and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 and other reports or documents that we file from time to time with the SEC. Statements included in this Quarterly Report are based upon information known to us as of the date that this Quarterly Report is filed with the SEC, and we assume no obligation to update or alter our forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as otherwise required by applicable federal securities laws.

MEDIACOM COMMUNICATIONS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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,” “we,” “us”) has prepared these unaudited consolidated financial statements in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). We own and operate cable systems through two principal subsidiaries, Mediacom LLC and Mediacom Broadband LLC. In the opinion of management, such statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of our 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 a summary of our accounting policies and other information, refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. 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, 2007.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts to conform to the current year’s presentation.
2. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS No. 157”). SFAS No. 157 establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value, and expands on required disclosures about fair value measurement. SFAS No. 157 will be effective as of January 1, 2008 and will be applied prospectively. We have not completed our evaluation of SFAS No. 157 to determine the impact that adoption will have on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities — Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (“SFAS No. 159”). SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. This Statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. We do not expect that SFAS No. 159 will have a material impact on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
3. (LOSS) INCOME PER SHARE
We calculate earnings or loss per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings per Share” (“SFAS No. 128”) by dividing the net income or loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share (“Diluted EPS”) is computed by dividing the net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period plus the effects of any potentially dilutive securities. Diluted EPS considers the impact of potentially dilutive securities except in periods in which there is a loss because the inclusion of the potential common shares would have an anti-dilutive effect. Our potentially dilutive securities include common shares which may be issued upon exercise of our stock options, conversion of convertible senior notes or vesting of restricted stock units. Diluted EPS excludes the impact of potential common shares related to our stock options in periods in which the option exercise price is greater than the average market price of our Class A common stock during the period.
For the three months ended June 30, 2007, and for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, we generated net losses so the inclusion of the potential common shares would have been anti-dilutive. Accordingly, diluted loss per share equaled basic loss per share. Diluted loss per share for the three months ended June 30, 2007 excludes approximately 2.3 million potential common shares related to our share-based compensation plans. Diluted earnings per share for the three months ended June 30, 2006 excludes approximately 9.2 million potential common shares related to our convertible senior notes because the inclusion of the potential common shares would have been anti-dilutive. Diluted loss per share for the six months ended June 30, 2007 excludes approximately 2.3 million potential common shares related to our share-based compensation plans. Diluted loss per share for the six months ended June 30, 2006 excludes approximately 1.5 million potential common shares related to our share-based compensation plans and 9.2 million potential common shares related to our convertible senior notes.

Bank Credit Facilities
The average interest rates on outstanding debt under our bank credit facilities as of June 30, 2007 and 2006, were 7.0% and 6.8%, respectively, before giving effect to the interest rate exchange agreements discussed below. As of June 30, 2007, we had unused credit commitments of approximately $802.3 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. We were in compliance with all covenants under our debt arrangements as of June 30, 2007.
As of June 30, 2007, approximately $32.0 million of letters of credit were issued to various parties as collateral for the Company’s performance relating primarily to insurance and franchise requirements.
Interest Rate Exchange Agreements
We use interest rate exchange agreements in order to fix the interest rate on our floating rate debt. As of June 30, 2007, we had interest rate exchange agreements with various banks pursuant to which the interest rate on $900.0 million is fixed at a weighted average rate of approximately 5.2%. These agreements have been accounted for on a mark-to-market basis as of, and for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Our interest rate exchange agreements are scheduled to expire in the amounts of $700.0 million and $200.0 million during the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2010, respectively. As of and for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, based on the mark-to-market valuation, we recorded on our consolidated balance sheets a net accumulated investment in derivatives of $1.9 million and a net accumulated investment in derivatives of $14.2 million, respectively, which are components of accounts payable and other non-current liabilities and prepaid and other non-current assets, and we recorded in our consolidated statements of operations a net gain on derivatives of $9.2 million and $0.8 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, we recorded in our consolidated statements of operations a net gain on derivatives of $4.8 million and $1.3 million, respectively.
7. STOCKHOLDERS’ DEFICIT
Stock Repurchase Plans
During the three months ended June 30, 2007, we repurchased approximately 500,000 shares of our Class A common stock for an aggregate cost of $4.3 million, at an average price of $8.60. As of June 30, 2007, approximately $34.7 million remained available under the Class A common stock repurchase program.

Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment,” requiring the cost of all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values at the grant date, or the date of later modification, over the requisite service period.
Total share-based compensation expense was as follows (dollars in thousands):
                 
    Three Months Ended June 30,  
    2007     2006  
Share-based compensation expense by type of award:
               
Employee stock options
  $ 475     $ 483  
Employee stock purchase plan
    69       (88 )
Restricted stock units
    822       503  
 
           
 
               
Total share-based compensation expense
  $ 1,366     $ 898  
 
           
                 
    Six Months Ended June 30,  
    2007     2006  
Share-based compensation expense by type of award:
               
Employee stock options
  $ 1,094     $ 1,058  
Employee stock purchase plan
    138       88  
Restricted stock units
    1,455       907  
 
           
 
               
Total share-based compensation expense
  $ 2,687     $ 2,053  
 
           
During the three months ended June 30, 2007, 50,000 stock options and 25,000 restricted stock units were granted under our compensation programs. The weighted average fair values associated with these grants were $3.75 per stock option and $8.59 per restricted stock unit. During the three months ended June 30, 2007, 70,250 stock options were exercised at an average strike price of $7.02.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
We maintain an employee stock purchase plan (“ESPP”). Under the ESPP, all employees are allowed to participate in the purchase of MCC’s Class A common stock at 85% of the lower of the fair market value on the first or last day of each six month offering period. Shares purchased by employees amounted to 77,342 and 94,317 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The net proceeds to us were approximately $0.2 million for each of the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006. The net proceeds to us were approximately $0.5 million for each of the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006.
8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Legal Proceedings
Mediacom LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, is named as a defendant in a putative class action, captioned Gary Ogg and Janice Ogg v. Mediacom, LLC, pending in the Circuit Court of Clay County, Missouri, by which the plaintiffs are seeking class-wide damages for alleged trespasses on land owned by private parties. The lawsuit was originally filed on April 24, 2001. Pursuant to various agreements with the relevant state, county or other local authorities and with utility companies, Mediacom LLC placed interconnect fiber optic cable within state and county highway rights-of-way and on utility poles in areas of Missouri not presently encompassed by a cable franchise. The lawsuit alleges that Mediacom LLC was required but failed to obtain permission from the landowners to place the cable. A summary judgment ruling in favor of Mediacom LLC was overturned by the Missouri Court of Appeals. The lawsuit has not made a claim for specified damages. An order declaring that this action is appropriate for class relief was entered on April 14, 2006. Mediacom LLC’s petition for an interlocutory appeal or in the alternative a writ of mandamus was denied by order of the Supreme Court of Missouri, dated October 31, 2006. Mediacom LLC intends to vigorously defend against any claims made by the plaintiffs, including at trial, and on appeal, if necessary. Mediacom LLC has tendered the lawsuit to its insurance carrier for defense and indemnification. The carrier has agreed to defend Mediacom LLC under a reservation of rights, and a declaratory judgment action is pending regarding the carrier’s defense and coverage responsibilities. Mediacom LLC is unable to reasonably evaluate the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome or quantify the possible damages, if any, associated with these matters, or judge whether or not those damages would be material to its consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows or business.

We are involved in various legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, business, financial condition and results of operations.
9. INCOME TAXES
On a quarterly basis, we evaluate discrete tax matters occuring during the period. During the three months ended June 30, 2007, we have again determined that deferred tax assets from net operating loss carryforwards, that were created in the respective periods, will not be realized under the more-likely-than-not standard required by SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” As a result, we increased our valuation allowance recorded against these assets. We have utilized APB No. 28, “Interim Financial Reporting,” to record income taxes on an interim period basis. A tax provision of $14.6 million and a tax benefit of $12.5 million was recorded for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. A tax provision of $28.5 million and $19.7 million was recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The respective tax provision amounts substantially represent the increase in the deferred tax liabilities related to the basis differences of our indefinite-lived intangible assets.
SFAS No. 109 requires that deferred tax assets be reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. We periodically assess the likelihood of realization of our deferred tax assets considering all available evidence, both positive and negative, including our most recent performance, the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, our forecast of taxable income in future periods and the availability of prudent tax planning strategies. As a result of these assessments in prior periods, we have established valuation allowances on a portion of our deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty surrounding the realization of these assets.
In prior years, we calculated our income tax provision for each quarter by estimating an annual effective tax rate for the year and applying this rate to quarterly income. For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively, we have calculated our actual tax provision, which is based on the change in the book/tax basis difference in our indefinite-lived intangible assets using the exception permissible in FASB Interpretation No. 18 (“FIN 18”). Such an approach is allowed under FIN 18, as we have determined that we cannot calculate an annual effective tax rate with reasonable accuracy. Due to a perceived volatility in earnings, based in part on prior results, we are unable to reliably estimate pre-tax income or loss. We believe that this approach will provide a more consistent and accurate result. The impact of this change in approach to the calculation will have a material impact on financial results for interim periods, but will not have any impact on the annual financial statements. Had we utilized this approach in 2006, we would have recorded a tax provision of $16.5 million and $31.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively.
On July 13, 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity’s financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attributes for financial statement disclosure of tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under FIN 48, the impact of an uncertain income tax position on the income tax return must be recognized at the largest amount that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained. Additionally, FIN 48 provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. We adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007, however the adoption did not have a material effect on us, and resulted in no adjustment to retained earnings as of January 1, 2007. We have no unrecognized tax benefits as of the adoption date. We do not think it is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrealized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.

We file U.S. federal consolidated income tax returns and income tax returns in various state and local jurisdictions. Our 2003, 2004 and 2005 U.S. federal tax years and various state and local tax years from 2002 through 2005 remain subject to income tax examinations by tax authorities.
We classify interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, no interest and penalties were accrued.
10. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Mediacom Management Corporation (“Mediacom Management”), a Delaware corporation, holds a 1.0% direct ownership interest in Mediacom California LLC, which in turn holds a 1.0% interest in Mediacom Arizona LLC. Revenues from these entities represent less than 1.0% of the Company’s total revenues. Mediacom Management is wholly-owned by the Chairman and CEO of MCC.
One of our directors is a partner of a law firm that performs various legal services for us. For the three months ended June 30, 2007, no amounts were paid. For the three months ended June 30, 2006, we paid this law firm approximately $0.1 million for services performed. For the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, we paid this law firm approximately $0.1 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 our unaudited consolidated financial statements as of, and for the three and six months ended, June 30, 2007 and 2006, and with our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.
Overview
Mediacom Communications Corporation is the nation’s eighth largest cable television company based on customers served, and among the leading cable operators 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 video services, such as video-on-demand (“VOD”), high-definition television (“HDTV”) and digital video recorders (“DVRs”), high-speed data access (“HSD”) and phone service. We offer triple-play bundles of video, HSD and phone to 86% of our estimated homes passed. Bundled products and services offer our customers a single provider contact for ordering, provisioning, billing and customer care.
As of June 30, 2007, our cable systems passed an estimated 2.84 million homes and served 1.34 million basic video subscribers in 23 states. We provide digital video services to 532,000 customers, representing a penetration of 39.6% of our basic subscribers. We also currently provide HSD to 613,000 customers, representing a penetration of 21.6% of our estimated homes passed. We introduced phone service across several of our markets during the second half of 2005, and provided service to about 144,000 customers as of June 30, 2007, representing a penetration of 5.9% of our estimated marketable phone homes.
We evaluate our growth, in part, by measuring the number of revenue generating units (“RGUs”) we serve. As of June 30, 2007, we served 2.63 million RGUs, which represent the total of basic subscribers and digital, data and phone customers.
We have faced increasing levels of competition for our video programming services over the past few years, mostly from DBS providers. Since they have been permitted to deliver local television broadcast signals beginning in 1999, DirecTV and Echostar, now have essentially ubiquitous coverage in our markets with local television broadcast signals. Their ability to deliver local television broadcast signals has been the primary cause of our loss of basic subscribers in recent years.
Retransmission Consent
Prior to February 2007, cable systems serving our subscribers carried the broadcast signals of 22 local broadcast stations owned or programmed by Sinclair Broadcast Group, Inc. (“Sinclair”) under a month-to-month retransmission arrangement terminable at the end of any month on 45-days notice. Eleven of these stations are affiliates of one of the “big-4” networks (ABC, CBS, FOX and NBC) that we deliver to approximately half of our total subscribers. The other stations are affiliates of the recently launched CW or MyNetwork broadcast networks or are unaffiliated with a national broadcast network.
On September 28, 2006, Sinclair exercised its right to deliver notice to us to terminate retransmission of all of its stations effective December 1, 2006, but subsequently agreed to extend our right to carriage of its signals until January 5, 2007. We and Sinclair were unable to reach agreement, and on January 5, 2007, Sinclair directed us to discontinue carriage of its stations. On February 2, 2007, we and Sinclair reached a multi-year agreement and Sinclair stations were immediately restored on the affected cable systems.
Adjusted OIBDA
We define Adjusted OIBDA as operating income before depreciation and amortization and non-cash, share-based compensation charges. Adjusted OIBDA is one of the primary measures used by management to evaluate our performance and to forecast future results but is not a financial measure calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States. We believe Adjusted OIBDA is useful for investors because it enables them to assess our performance in a manner similar to the methods used by management, and provides a measure that can be used to analyze, value and compare the companies in the cable television industry, which may have different depreciation and amortization policies, as well as different non-cash, share-based compensation programs. A limitation of Adjusted OIBDA, however, is that it excludes depreciation and amortization, which represents the periodic costs of certain capitalized tangible and intangible assets used in generating revenues in our business. Management utilizes a separate process to budget, measure and evaluate capital expenditures. In addition, Adjusted OIBDA has the limitation of not reflecting the effect of our non-cash, share-based compensation charges.

Table of Contents

Adjusted OIBDA should not be regarded as an alternative to either operating income or net income (loss) as an indicator of operating performance nor should it be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. We believe that operating income is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure to Adjusted OIBDA.

Video revenues represent monthly subscription fees charged to customers for our core cable television products and services (including basic, expanded basic and digital cable programming services, wire maintenance, equipment rental and services to commercial establishments), pay-per-view charges, installation, reconnection and late payment fees; and other ancillary revenues. Data revenues primarily represent monthly fees charged to customers, including commercial establishments, for our data products and services and equipment rental fees. Phone revenues primarily represent monthly fees charged to customers. Advertising revenues represent the sale of advertising time on various channels.
Revenues rose 7.4%, largely attributable to growth in our data and phone customers. Average total monthly revenue per basic subscriber grew 12.0% to $80.00. RGUs grew 6.3% year-over-year and average total monthly revenue per RGU grew 1.2% compared with the prior year period.
Video revenues grew 1.6% due to higher service fees from our advanced video products and services, such as DVRs and HDTV, and basic video rate increases, offset in part by a lower number of basic subscribers. During the three months ended June 30, 2007, we lost 18,000 basic subscribers compared to a loss of 22,000 basic subscribers for the same period last year.
Data revenues rose 19.6%, primarily due to a 18.8% year-over-year increase in data customers.
Phone revenues grew 126.0%, largely due to a 118.2% increase in phone customers. As of June 30, 2007, Mediacom Phone was marketed to approximately 2.45 million of our 2.84 million estimated homes passed, and we expect to market the product to approximately 2.5 million, or 88%, of our estimated homes passed by the end of 2007.

Table of Contents

Advertising revenues were essentially flat year over year, with stronger national advertising sales, offset by weaker local advertising sales.
Costs and Expenses
Significant service costs and expenses are for: video programming; wages and salaries of technical personnel who maintain our cable network, perform customer installation activities, and provide customer support; our data and phone services, including payments to third-party providers and costs associated with bandwidth connectivity and customer provisioning; and field operating costs, including outside contractors, vehicle, utilities and pole rental expenses. Video programming costs, which are generally paid on a per subscriber basis, represent our largest single expense category and 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. Video programming costs are expected to continue to grow principally because of contractual unit rate increases and the increasing demands of television broadcast station owners for retransmission consent fees. As a consequence, it is expected that our video gross margins will decline as increases in programming costs outpace growth in video revenues.
Service costs rose 9.9%, primarily due to customer growth in our phone and HSD services and increases in programming expenses. Recurring expenses related to our phone and HSD services grew 39.5% commensurate with the significant increase of our phone and data customers. Programming expense rose 7.2%, principally as a result of higher unit costs charged by our programming vendors, offset in part by a lower number of basic subscribers. Service costs as a percentage of revenues were 41.3% and 40.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Significant selling, general and administrative expenses include: wages and salaries for our call centers, customer service and support and administrative personnel; franchise fees and taxes; marketing; bad debt; billing; advertising; and costs related to telecommunications for our call centers and office administration.
Selling, general and administrative expenses rose 8.8%, principally due to higher marketing, bad debt and office expenses. Marketing costs rose by 18.1%, largely due to product and service advertising and mailing campaigns, as well as increased headcount. Bad debt expenses were higher by 29.5%, primarily due to unusually low write-offs of uncollectible accounts in the prior year period. Office costs increased by 21.1%, primarily due to call center telecommunications charges. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues were 20.3% and 20.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
We expect continued revenue growth in our advanced products and services. 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 17.6%, due primarily to increases in legal and professional fees and non-cash, share-based compensation. Corporate expenses as a percentage of revenues were 2.1% and 1.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Depreciation and amortization rose 5.1%, due in part to increased deployment of customer premise equipment, offset by lower spending on plant upgrade and rebuild.
Adjusted OIBDA
Adjusted OIBDA increased by 3.8%, due to revenue growth, especially in data and phone, offset by increases in related service costs and marketing expenses.
Operating Income
Operating income increased 1.9%, due to the increase in Adjusted OIBDA, offset in part by higher depreciation and amortization expense.

Table of Contents

Interest Expense, Net
Interest expense, net, increased by 5.5%, primarily due to the expiration of certain interest rate hedging agreements with favorable rates.
Gain 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, 2007, we had interest rate swaps with an aggregate principal amount of $900.0 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, net amounting to $9.2 million and $0.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Provision for Income Taxes
Provision for income taxes was approximately $14.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007, as compared to a benefit from income taxes of $12.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006. These provisions for income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 resulted from non-cash charges related to our deferred tax asset positions. See Note 9 of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Net (Loss) Income
As a result of the factors described above, we recognized a net loss of $6.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007, compared to net income of $5.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006.

Revenues rose 6.9%, largely attributable to growth in our data and phone customers. Average total monthly revenue per basic subscriber grew 10.8% to $77.41. RGUs grew 6.3% year-over-year and average total monthly revenue per RGU was essentially flat compared with the prior year period.
Video revenues rose 0.5% relative to the first half of 2006, with higher service fees from our advanced video products and services, such as DVRs and HDTV, offset by a lower number of basic subscribers. During the six months ended June 30, 2007, we lost 36,000 basic subscribers compared to a loss of 23,000 basic subscribers for the same period last year.
Data revenues rose 18.9%, primarily due to a 18.8% year-over-year increase in data customers.
Phone revenues grew 162.9%, largely due to a 118.2% increase in phone customers.
Advertising revenues increased 6.3%, as a result of stronger local advertising sales, offset in part by weaker national advertising sales.
Costs and Expenses
Service costs rose 10.8%, primarily due to customer growth in our phone and HSD services and increases in programming and field operating expenses. Recurring expenses related to our phone and HSD services grew 42.4% commensurate with the significant increase of our phone and data customers. Programming expense rose 6.3%, principally as a result of higher unit costs charged by our programming vendors, offset in part by a lower number of basic subscribers. Field operating costs rose 13.1%, primarily as a result of (i) the purchase of antennas during the Sinclair dispute, which were distributed to our customers so that they could receive the affected off-air broadcast signals, and (ii) higher outside contractor usage. Service costs as a percentage of revenues were 42.1% and 40.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Table of Contents

Selling, general and administrative expenses rose 8.0%, principally due to higher marketing, bad debt and office expenses. Marketing costs rose by 27.8%, largely due to product and service advertising and mailing campaigns. Bad debt expenses were higher by 33.4%, primarily due to unusually low write-offs of uncollectible accounts in the prior year period. Office costs increased by 19.5%, primarily due to call center telecommunications charges. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues were 20.3% and 20.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Corporate expenses reflect compensation of corporate employees and other corporate overhead. Corporate expenses rose 15.3%, due primarily to increases in legal and professional fees and non-cash, share-based compensation. Corporate expenses as a percentage of revenues were 2.2% and 2.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Depreciation and amortization rose 2.6%, due in part to increased deployment of customer premise equipment, offset by lower spending on plant upgrade and rebuild.
Adjusted OIBDA
Adjusted OIBDA rose 1.9%, due to revenue growth, especially in data and phone, offset by increases in related service costs and marketing expenses.
Operating Income
Operating income increased 0.7%, due to higher Adjusted OIBDA, offset in part by higher depreciation and amortization expense.
Interest Expense, Net
Interest expense, net, increased by 5.7% primarily due to the expiration of certain interest rate hedging agreements with favorable rates and, to a lesser extent, higher market interest rates on variable rate debt.
Gain 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, 2007, we had interest rate swaps with an aggregate principal amount of $900.0 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, net amounting to $4.8 million and $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Provision for Income Taxes
Provision for income taxes was approximately $28.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, as compared to a provision for income taxes of $19.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. These provisions for income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 resulted from non-cash charges related to our deferred tax asset positions. See Note 9 of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Net Loss
As a result of the factors described above, we recognized a net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2007 of $23.5 million, compared to a net loss of $31.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
We have invested, and will continue to invest, in our network to enhance its reliability and capacity, and in the further deployment of advanced broadband services. Our capital spending has recently shifted from network upgrade investments to the deployment of advanced services. We also may continue to make strategic acquisitions of cable systems. We have a high level of indebtedness and incur significant amounts of interest expense each year. We believe that we will meet our debt service, capital spending and other 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.
As of June 30, 2007, our total debt was $3,138.4 million, of which $84.7 million matures within the twelve months ending June 30, 2008. During the six months ended June 30, 2007, we paid cash interest of $123.0 million, net of capitalized interest. As of June 30, 2007, we had unused revolving credit commitments of $802.3 million, 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, 2007, 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. There are no covenants, events of default, borrowing conditions or other terms in our credit facilities or our other debt arrangements that are based on changes in our credit ratings assigned by any rating agency. We believe that we will not have any difficulty in the foreseeable future complying with the applicable 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 is 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. Our future access to debt financings and the cost of such financings are affected by our credit ratings. Any future downgrade to our credit ratings could increase the cost of debt and adversely impact our ability to raise additional funds.
Operating Activities
Net cash flows provided by operating activities were $75.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, as compared to $107.7 million for the comparable period last year. The change of $32.5 million is primarily due to the change in assets and liabilities.
During the six months ended June 30, 2007, the net change in our operating assets and liabilities was $30.0 million, primarily due to a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $30.8 million, a decrease in our other non-current liabilities of $1.8 million and an increase in our prepaid expenses and other assets of $1.3 million, offset by an increase in deferred revenue of $4.2 million.
Investing Activities
Net cash flows used in investing activities, which consisted primarily of capital expenditures, were $96.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, as compared to $104.8 million for the prior year. Capital expenditures increased $7.0 million to $111.8 million, primarily due to higher spending on customer premise equipment. In addition, we received proceeds of $22.9 million from the sale of cable systems and spent $7.3 million to purchase a cable system.
Financing Activities
Net cash flows used in financing activities were $0.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, primarily due to stock repurchases totaling $4.3 million, and net repayments of debt, offset by other financing activities. Net cash flows provided by financing activities were $25.6 million for the comparable period in 2006, largely due to net borrowings which funded stock repurchases totaling $34.4 million.

Other
We have entered into interest rate exchange agreements with counterparties, which expire from 2009 through 2010, to hedge $900.0 million of floating rate debt. These agreements have been accounted for on a mark-to-market basis as of, and for the three months ended June 30, 2007. Our interest rate exchange agreements are scheduled to expire in the amounts of $700.0 million and $200.0 million during the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2010, respectively.
As of June 30, 2007, approximately $32.0 million of letters of credit were issued to various parties as collateral for our performance relating to insurance and franchise requirements.
Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments
There have been no material changes to our contractual obligations and commercial commitments as previously disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.
Critical Accounting Judgments and Estimates
Use of Estimates
The preparation of our 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. For a discussion of our critical accounting judgments and estimates that we believe require significant judgment in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements, please refer to our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.
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 our rates.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
There have been no significant changes to the information required under this Item from what was disclosed in Item 7A of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2007.
There has not been any change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended June 30, 2007 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
There have been no material changes in the risk factors from those disclosed in our risk factors section in Item 1A of our 2006 Form 10-K.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
During the quarter ended June 30, 2007, we granted stock options to certain of our non-employee directors to purchase an aggregate of 50,000 shares of Class A common stock at an exercise price of $8.59 per share. The grant of stock options to our non-employee directors was not registered under the Securities Act of 1933 because the stock options either 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 were offered and sold in transactions not involving a public offering, exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 pursuant to Section 4(2).
The following is a summary of our share repurchases of our Class A common stock during the second quarter of 2007 under our Board-authorized repurchase program:

AMENDMENT NO. 3

AMENDMENT NO. 3 dated as of June 11, 2007 between MCC IOWA LLC, a limited liability company duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (“MCC Iowa”); MCC ILLINOIS LLC, a limited liability company duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (“MCC Illinois”); MCC GEORGIA LLC, a limited liability company duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (“MCC Georgia”); and MCC MISSOURI LLC, a limited liability company duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (“MCC Missouri”, and, together with MCC Iowa, MCC Illinois and MCC Georgia, the “Borrowers”); and the Tranche D Term Loan Lenders executing this Amendment No. 3 each of which is a party to the Amendment and Restatement referred to below.

The Borrowers, the lenders party thereto, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., in its capacity as Administrative Agent thereunder, are parties to an Amendment and Restatement dated as of December 16, 2004 of the Credit Agreement dated as of July 18, 2001 (as modified and supplemented and in effect from time to time, the “Amendment and Restatement”).

The Borrowers and the Tranche D Term Loan Lenders wish now to amend the Amendment and Restatement in certain respects, and accordingly, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

Section 1. Definitions. Except as otherwise defined in this Amendment No. 3, terms defined in the Amendment and Restatement are used herein as defined therein.

Section 2. Amendments. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent specified in Section 4 below, but effective as of the date hereof, the Amendment and Restatement shall be amended as follows:

2.01. References Generally. References in the Amendment and Restatement (including references to the Amendment and Restatement as amended hereby) to “this Agreement” (and indirect references such as “hereunder”, “hereby”, “herein” and “hereof”) shall be deemed to be references to the Amendment and Restatement as amended hereby.

2.02. Certain Cure Rights. Section 9.02(b) of the Amendment and Restatement is hereby relettered as Section 9.02(c) and a new Section 9.02(b) is inserted as follows:

“(b) Total Leverage Ratio – Tranche D Term Loans. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9.01 hereof, but without limiting the obligations of the Borrowers under Section 8.10(d) hereof, a breach by the Borrowers as of the last day of any fiscal quarter or any fiscal year of its obligations under said Section 8.10(d) shall not constitute an Event of Default hereunder (except for purposes of Section 6 hereof) until the date (for purposes of this clause (b), the “Cut- Off Date”) which is the earlier of the date thirty days after (a) the date the financial statements for the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries with respect to such fiscal quarter or fiscal year, as the case may be, are delivered pursuant to Section 8.01(a) or 8.01(b) hereof or (b) the latest date on which such financial statements are required to be delivered pursuant to said Section 8.01(a) or 8.01(b), provided that, if following the last day of such fiscal quarter or fiscal year and prior to the Cut-Off Date, the Borrowers shall have received Cure Monies (and shall have applied the proceeds thereof to the prepayment of the Loans hereunder, which prepayment, in the case of Affiliate Subordinated Indebtedness, shall be effected in the manner provided in Section 8.14(a) hereof), or shall have prepaid the Loans hereunder from available cash, in an amount sufficient to bring the Borrowers into compliance with said Section 8.10(d) assuming that the Total Leverage Ratio, as of the last day of such fiscal quarter or fiscal year, as the case may be, were recalculated to subtract such prepayment from the aggregate outstanding amount of Indebtedness, then such breach or breaches shall be deemed to have been cured; provided, further, that breaches of Section 8.10 hereof (including pursuant to paragraph (a) above) may not be deemed to be cured pursuant to this Section 9.02 (x) more than three times during the term of this Agreement or (y) during consecutive fiscal quarters.”

Section 3. Representations and Warranties. Each Obligor represents and warrants to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, as to itself and each of its subsidiaries, that (a) the representations and warranties set forth in Section 7 (as hereby amended) of the Amendment and Restatement, and in each of the other Loan Documents, are true and complete on the date hereof as if made on and as of the date hereof (or, if any such representation or warranty is expressly stated to have been made as of a specific date, such representation or warranty shall be true and correct as of such specific date), and as if each reference in said Section 7 to “this Agreement” included reference to this Amendment No. 3 and (b) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

Section 4. Conditions Precedent. The amendments set forth in Section 2 hereof shall become effective, as of the date hereof, upon the execution and delivery of this Amendment No. 3 by the Borrowers and the Majority Lenders, consisting, as provided in the Amendment and Restatement, of Tranche D Term Loan Lenders having outstanding Tranche D Term Loans representing more than 50% of the total outstanding Tranche D Term Loans.
