TABLE OF CONTENTS
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 BROADBAND LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
(1) Organization
Mediacom Broadband LLC (Mediacom Broadband, and collectively with its subsidiaries, the
Company), a Delaware limited liability company wholly-owned by Mediacom Communications
Corporation (MCC), is involved in the acquisition and operation of cable systems serving smaller
cities and towns in the United States
Mediacom Broadband relies on its parent, MCC, for various services such as corporate and
administrative support. The financial position, results of operations and cash flows of Mediacom
Broadband could differ from those that would have resulted had Mediacom Broadband operated
autonomously or as an entity independent of MCC.
Mediacom Broadband Corporation (Broadband Corporation), a Delaware corporation wholly-owned
by Mediacom Broadband, co-issued, jointly and severally with Mediacom Broadband, public debt
securities. Broadband Corporation has no operations, revenues or cash flows and has no assets,
liabilities or stockholders equity on its balance sheet, other than a one-hundred dollar
receivable from an affiliate and the same dollar amount of common stock on its consolidated balance
sheets. Therefore, separate financial statements have not been presented for this entity.
(2) Statement of Accounting Presentation and Other Information
Basis of Preparation of Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
Mediacom Broadband 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
Companys 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
Companys accounting policies, the interim unaudited consolidated financial statements should be
read in conjunction with the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2004 (File Nos. 333-72440 and 333-72440-01). 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 Companys 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
5
MEDIACOM BROADBAND LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
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 Companys 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 customers 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 customers 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
presented as a separate component 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.

MEDIACOM BROADBAND LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
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 Companys
derivative instruments are recorded at fair value and are included in other current assets, other
assets and other liabilities in its consolidated balance sheet. The Companys accounting policies
for these instruments are based on whether they meet its criteria for designation as hedging
transactions, which include the instruments effectiveness in 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
Since the Company is a limited liability company, it is not subject to federal or state income
taxes and no provision for income taxes relating to its operations has been reflected in the
accompanying consolidated financial statements. Income or loss of the Company is reported in MCCs
income tax returns.
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 paid-in capital in the

(3) 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 companys 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 statements of operations.

The average interest rate on outstanding debt under the bank credit facility as of June 30,
2005 and 2004 were 5.0% and 3.2%, 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 $352.1 million under its bank credit facility, all of which could be borrowed and
used for general corporate purposes based on the terms and conditions of the Companys 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 $400.0 million is fixed at a weighted average
rate of approximately 3.4%. Under the terms of the interest rate exchange agreements, which expire
from 2006 through 2007, the Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the
other parties. However, due to the creditworthiness of the Companys
9
MEDIACOM BROADBAND LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
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 amount 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 Companys 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 $3.9 million, which is a component of
other assets, and a derivative liability of $1.2 million, which is recorded in accrued liabilities
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 $0.9 million and a gain of $4.1 million for the three and six months ended June
30, 2005, and gains of $13.0 million and $8.8 million, for the respective three and six months
periods in 2004.
In January 2005, the Company received an $88.0 million loan from Mediacom LLC, a New York
limited liability company wholly-owned by MCC. This loan was in the form of a demand note, with a
6.7% annual interest rate payable semi-annually in cash, and recorded as a component of the current
portion of debt in the Companys consolidated balance sheets and as new borrowings in its
consolidated statements of cash flows. The proceeds from the loan were used to repay outstanding
borrowings under the Companys revolving credit facility. The Company repaid this loan and accrued
interest in April 2005. The Company recorded $0.4 and $1.5 million of interest expense related to
the demand note for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively.
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 $9.9 million letters of credit were issued to various
parties as collateral for the Companys 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 at 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, certain employees received grants of stock options
and restricted stock units exercisable on underlying MCC shares. The stock option grants totaled
36,000 options which had an exercise price of $5.42 and vest equally over four years. The
restricted stock units were granted in two tranches. The first tranche was a grant of 42,600
restricted stock units at a grant price of $5.69 and vests equally over four years. The second
tranche was a grant of 145,000 restricted stock units at a grant price of $5.42 with a cliff vest
at the end of four years.
No compensation cost has been recognized for any option grants in the accompanying
consolidated statements of operations since the exercise price of the options was at fair market
value at the date of grant. As of June 30, 2005, the Company has recorded $1.0 million of
intrinsic value related to the restricted stock unit awards as deferred compensation and paid-in
capital in its consolidated balance sheet. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, the Company amortized $64,000 and $90,000, respectively, of deferred compensation as
compensation expense in its consolidated statements of operations.

three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively. The Company recorded management fee
expense due to MCC of $3.1 and $6.0 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively.

(10) Legal Proceedings
On April 5, 2004, a lawsuit was filed against MCC Georgia LLC, one of the Companys
subsidiaries, 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 systems operated by MCC
Georgia LLC 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 it has 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 allege that this conduct amounted to
a breach of the contract between Echostar and one of MCCs employees, who allegedly acted as an
agent for MCC, by which MCC received the Echostar satellite signal. On September 7, 2004, the U.S.
District Court granted MCCs motion to transfer the case to the Middle District of Georgia, where
venue is proper and where personal jurisdiction over MCC exists.
On August 2, 2005, the Company settled its litigation with EchoStar for an amount which is not
significant to the Companys financial condition, operations or cash flows. Neither party admitted
liability concerning the matter.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Companys unaudited
consolidated financial statements as of, and for the three and six months ended, June 30, 2005 and
2004, and with the Companys annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.
Overview
We are a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mediacom Communications Corporation (MCC). 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 1.46 million homes and served
776,000 basic subscribers. We provide digital video services to 266,000 digital customers,
representing a penetration of 34.3% of our basic subscribers. We also currently provide HSD to
235,000 data customers, representing a penetration of 16.1% 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 75% at year-end 2003. 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.

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 subscription fees charged to customers,
including commercial establishments, for our data products and services and equipment rental fees.
Franchise fees charged to customers for payment to local franchising authorities are included in
their corresponding revenue category.
Revenues rose 5.3%, primarily attributable to an increase in data revenues.
Video revenues increased 1.5%, as a result of higher fees from our advanced video products and
services and the impact of rate increases applied on our subscribers, offset in part by a loss of
basic subscribers from 789,000 as of June 30, 2004, to 776,000 as of June 30, 2005.
14
Average
monthly video revenue per basic subscriber rose 3.9% from $48.28 to $50.15. Our loss of basic
subscribers partly 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. 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 7,000 subscribers, compared to a loss of 30,300 in the same period last year. During the
three months ended June 30, 2005, we lost 11,500 basic subscribers, compared to a loss of 22,000 in
the same period last year. In addition, our digital television product category has rebounded
significantly, growing 30,000 digital customers during the six months ended June 30, 2005, compared
to a loss of 8,600 in the same period last year. We had 266,000 digital customers as of June 30,
2005, compared to 223,000 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 disconnect at the end of the school year.
Data revenues rose 23.7%, primarily due to a 29.1% year-over-year increase in data customers
from 182,000 to 235,000 and, to a much lesser extent, increased contribution from our commercial
enterprise business. Average monthly data revenue per data customer decreased from $40.88 to
$38.48, largely due to various promotional offers since mid-year 2004.
Advertising revenues increased 11.0%, 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 and 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 7.5%, primarily due to increases in programming, field operating and
employee costs. Programming expenses increased 6.0%, 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 20.4%, 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 repairs and maintenance. Employee related costs grew 6.6%,
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 38.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to 37.3%
for the three months ended June 30, 2004.
Selling, general and administrative expenses include: wages and salaries for our call center,
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.
Selling, general and administrative expenses rose 9.4%, principally due to higher employee and
advertising expenses related to increased customer activity, partially offset by a decrease in bad
debt expense. Employee costs increased 23.1%, primarily due to higher staffing, commissions and
benefit costs of customer service and direct sales personnel. Advertising expenses rose 8.5%, primarily due to higher salaries and
commissions on increased revenues. The increase in selling, general and administrative expense was
offset by a 4.2% 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 22.7% and 21.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004.
15
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.
Management fee expense reflects charges incurred under our management arrangements with our
parent, MCC. Management fee expense increased 13.2%, which reflects greater overhead costs charged
by MCC during the three month period ended June 30, 2005. As a percentage of revenues, management
fee expense was 2.0% and 1.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
Depreciation and amortization increased 2.6%, principally due to 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 9.6%, primarily due to higher market interest rates on
variable rate debt and to a lesser extent, slightly higher average indebtedness for the three
months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to the respective period in 2004.
(Loss) 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, 2005, we had interest rate swaps with an aggregate principal amount of $400.0
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 mark-to-market valuation of these interest rate swaps, we recorded a loss on
derivatives amounting to $0.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to a
gain of $13.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004.
Other Expense
Other expense was $1.0 million and $1.1 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.
Net Income
As a result of the factors described above, we generated net income for the three months ended
June 30, 2005 of $4.0 million, as compared to net income of $20.3 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2004.

Revenues rose 4.1%, primarily attributable to an increase in data revenues.
Video revenues increased 0.4%, as a result of higher fees from our advanced video products and
services and the impact of rate increases applied on our basic subscribers, offset by as a 1.6%
reduction in basic subscribers from 789,000 as of June 30, 2004, to 776,000 as of June 30, 2005.
Average monthly video revenue per basic subscriber increased 3.6% from $48.02 to $49.74.
Data revenues rose 22.5%, primarily due to a 29.1% year-over-year increase in data customers
from 182,000 to 235,000 and, to a lesser extent, increased contribution from our commercial
enterprise business. Average monthly data revenue per data customer decreased from $41.54 to
$39.25, largely due to various promotional offers since mid-year 2004.
17
Advertising revenues increased 8.8%, 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 6.3%, primarily due to increases in programming, field operating, data
and employee costs. Programming costs increased 4.2%, 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 six months
ended June 30, 2005. Field operating costs rose 20.5%, 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. Employee related costs grew 4.5%, primarily due to increased overtime and
commissions related to greater staffing of technical support for our data business, significantly
offset by a decrease in certain employee insurance expenses. Service costs as a percentage of
revenues were 38.5% and 37.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
Selling, general and administrative expenses rose 6.7%, principally due to higher employee,
marketing and office costs primarily related to increased customer activity, partially offset by a
decrease in bad debt expense. Employee costs increased 13.5%, primarily due to higher staffing,
commissions and benefit costs of customer service and direct sales personnel. Marketing costs grew
17.1%, as a result of increased costs associated with contracted direct sales personnel and
advertising campaigns. Office costs rose 14.5%, due primarily to higher telephone expenses. The
increase in selling, general and administrative expense was offset by an 18.7% 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 22.5% and 21.9% for the six 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.
Management fee expense reflects charges incurred under our management arrangements with our
parent, MCC. Management fee expense increased 10.6%, which reflects greater overhead costs charged
by MCC during the six month period ended June 30, 2005. As a percentage of revenues, management
fee expense was 2.0% and 1.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
Depreciation and amortization increased 7.0%, principally due to 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 10.6%, primarily due to higher market interest rates on
variable rate debt and to a lesser extent, slightly higher average indebtedness for the six months
ended June 30, 2005, as compared to the respective period in 2004.
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 $400.0
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 mark-to-market valuation of these interest rate swaps, we recorded a gain on
derivatives amounting to $4.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to a gain
on derivatives of $8.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004.
18
Other Expense
Other expense was $2.0 million and $2.2 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.
Net Income
As a result of the factors described above, we generated net income for the six months ended
June 30, 2005 of $10.3 million, as compared to net income of $22.9 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2004.
19
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. In
the six months ended June 30, 2005, we made $53.4 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 $1.38 billion.
Of this amount, $40.1 million and $55.0 million will mature within the twelve months ending June
30, 2006 and 2007, respectively. 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
$45.9 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 note.
During
the six months ended June 30, 2005, we generated $58.5 million of net cash flows from
operating activities, which together with the $2.1 million decrease in our cash balances, funded
net cash flows used in investing activities of $53.4 million and net cash flows used in financing
activities of $7.3 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 $352.1 million under our credit
facility, 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
facility is subject to our remaining in compliance with the covenants of our credit facility,
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 facility 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 $58.5 million and $48.5 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. This increase was principally due to the
timing of cash receipts and expenses in our working capital accounts, offset in part by a decline
in operating income.
Investing Activities
Net
cash flows used in investing activities were $53.4 million and $35.6 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. All of the cash flows used in investing
activities have been for capital expenditures. Capital expenditures
rose $17.8 million from $35.6
million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 to $53.4 million for the same period in 2005,
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 $7.3 million and $9.6 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2005, our
financing activities included the following:
20
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.
In January 2005, we borrowed $88.0 million in the form of a demand note from Mediacom LLC, a
wholly-owned subsidiary of MCC. We repaid the demand note in April 2005.
During the six months ended, we paid dividends of $10.9 million to MCC and dividends on
preferred members interest of $9.0 million to Mediacom LLC.
Other
We have entered into interest rate exchange agreements with counterparties, which expire from
July 2006 through March 2007, to hedge $400.0 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 58.3% of our outstanding indebtedness
was at fixed interest rates or subject to interest rate protection and our annualized cost of debt
capital was approximately 6.7%.
As of June 30, 2005, approximately $9.9 million of letters of credit were issued to various
parties as collateral for our performance relating primarily to insurance and franchise
requirements.
Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments

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 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 sheet and recognize such amounts as a
reduction of programming costs (which are a component of service costs in our 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.
22
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..
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. 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 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 instruments
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.
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 the beginning of
a companys 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.
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 Commissions 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.
23
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 $400.0 million of interest rate swaps
with various banks at a weighted average fixed rate of approximately 3.4%. 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 2007, 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 $2.7
million, including accrued interest, if we terminated these agreements.
The table below provides the 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.
