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; 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.

1. ORGANIZATION
Mediacom
LLC (Mediacom, and collectively with its subsidiaries,
the Company, we or us), a New
York 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.
We have prepared these unaudited consolidated financial statements in accordance with the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC). 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.
We rely on our parent, MCC, for various services such as corporate and administrative support. Our
financial position, results of operations and cash flows could differ from those that would have
resulted had we operated autonomously or as an entity independent of MCC.
Mediacom Capital Corporation (Mediacom Capital), a New York corporation wholly-owned by us,
co-issued, jointly and severally with us, public debt securities. Mediacom Capital has no
operations, revenues or cash flows, and has no assets, liabilities or stockholders equity on its
consolidated balance sheets other than a one-hundred dollar receivable from an affiliate and the
same dollar amount of common stock. Therefore, separate financial statements have not been
presented for this entity.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year amounts to conform to the current years
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 entitys first fiscal year that
begins after November 15, 2007. We do not expect that this Statement will have a material impact on
our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

Bank Credit Facilities
The
average interest rates on outstanding debt under our bank credit facilities as of September 30,
2007 and December 31, 2006, were 6.9% and 7.1% respectively, before giving effect to the interest
rate exchange agreements discussed below. As of September 30, 2007, we had unused credit
commitments of approximately $325.0 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 of our debt arrangements as of September 30,
2007.
As of
September 30, 2007, approximately $18.0 million of letters of credit were issued to various
parties as collateral for our 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 September 30, 2007, we had interest rate exchange agreements with various banks
pursuant to which the interest rate on $400.0 million was fixed at a weighted average rate of
approximately 5.0%. These agreements have been accounted for on a mark-to-market basis. Our interest rate exchange agreements are scheduled
to expire in the amounts of $300.0 million and $100.0 million during the years ended December 31,
2009 and 2010, respectively. As of and for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006,
based on the mark-to-market valuation, we recorded on our consolidated balance sheet a net
accumulated liability for derivatives of $3.8 million and a net accumulated investment in
derivatives of $1.0 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 loss on derivatives, net of
$6.1 million and $7.5 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006,
we recorded in our consolidated financial statements of operations a loss on derivatives, net of
$4.2 million and $6.5 million, respectively.

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 MCCs 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 approximately 16,000 and
17,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Shares purchased by employees
amounted to approximately 31,000 and 37,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
The net proceeds to us were less than $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007
and 2006, respectively. The net proceeds to us were approximately $0.1 million for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
7. INVESTMENT IN AFFILIATED COMPANY
We have a $150.0 million preferred equity investment in Mediacom Broadband LLC, a wholly owned
subsidiary of MCC. The preferred equity investment has a 12% annual cash dividend, payable
quarterly in cash. During each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, we
received in aggregate $4.5 million and $13.5 million, respectively, in cash dividends on the
preferred equity.

8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Legal Proceedings
We are 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, we 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 we
were required but failed to obtain permission from the landowners to place the cable. A summary
judgment ruling in favor of us 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. Our 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. We intend to vigorously defend against any claims made by the plaintiffs, including at
trial, and on appeal, if necessary. We have tendered the lawsuit to our insurance carrier for
defense and indemnification. The carrier has agreed to defend us under a reservation of rights, and
a declaratory judgment action is pending regarding the carriers defense and coverage
responsibilities. We are 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 our consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows
or business.
We, our subsidiaries, MCC and other affiliated companies are also 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 consolidated financial position,
results of operations, cash flows or business.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS 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 nine months ended, September 30, 2007 and 2006, and with
our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.
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 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 approximately 79% 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 September 30, 2007, our cable systems passed an estimated 1.36 million homes and served
608,000 basic video subscribers in 22 states. We provide digital video service to 232,000
customers, representing a penetration of 38.2% of our basic subscribers, and provide HSD to 287,000
customers, representing a penetration of 21.1% of our estimated homes passed. We introduced phone
service across several of our markets during the second quarter of 2005, and provided service to
about 68,000 customers as of September 30, 2007, representing a penetration of 6.3% of our 1.1
million estimated marketable phone homes.
We evaluate our growth, in part, by measuring the number of revenue generating units (RGUs) we
serve, which represent the total of basic subscribers and digital, data and phone customers. As of
September 30, 2007, we served 1.20 million RGUs, as compared to 1.12 million RGUs on September 30,
2006.
We have faced increasing levels of competition for our video programming services over the past few
years, mostly from DBS providers. DirecTV and Echostar now have essentially ubiquitous coverage in
our markets with local television broadcast signals. Their ability to deliver these 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 21
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. Ten
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. As a result of
the retransmission consent dispute, both prior to and during the loss
of carriage of the Sinclair stations, we experienced higher levels of
basic subscriber losses in the fourth quarter of 2006 and the first
quarter of 2007.
12
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.
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.

Revenues
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. Franchise fees
charged to customers for payment to local franchising authorities are included in their
corresponding revenue category. Phone revenues represent monthly fees charged to customers.
Advertising revenues represent the sale of advertising time on various channels.
14
Revenues rose 7.4%, largely attributable to growth in our data and phone customers. Average total
monthly revenue per basic subscriber grew 12.4%. RGUs grew 6.8% and average total monthly revenue
per RGU grew 0.5%.
Video revenues grew 1.3% 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. Since June 30, 2007, we lost 8,000 basic subscribers, which was unchanged from the
loss for the same period last year. Since September 30, 2006, we lost 28,000 subscribers,
including a significant amount of basic subscribers lost in connection with the retransmission
consent dispute with Sinclair and the sale during the period of cable systems serving on a net
basis 4,100 basic subscribers.
Data
revenues rose 17.3%, primarily due to a 18.1% increase in data customers.
Phone
revenues grew 173.1%, largely due to a 195.7% increase in phone customers.
Advertising revenues increased 7.4%, largely as a result of a 14-week broadcast sales period
this quarter, as compared to a 13-week period in the three months ended September 30,
2006.
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 12.0%, 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
226.7% commensurate with the significant increase of our phone and data customers. Programming
expense rose 4.4%, 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 43.5% and 41.7% for the three months ended September 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 4.7%, principally due to higher marketing, office
and bad debt expenses, offset in part by a reduction in taxes and fees. Marketing costs rose
11.3%, largely due to increases in product and service advertising and personnel costs, and a decrease
in promotional support. Office costs increased by 13.8%, primarily
due to higher call center
telecommunications charges. Bad debt expenses were higher by 14.2%, primarily due to higher
average write-offs per delinquent account and increased collections expenses. Taxes and fees
decreased 5.2%, primarily due to a reduction in state property taxes. Selling, general and
administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues were 19.1% and 19.6% for the three months ended
September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
15
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.
Management fee expense reflects charges incurred under management arrangements with our parent,
MCC. Management fee expense increased 2.7%, reflecting higher
overhead charges by MCC. Management fee expenses as a percentage of
revenues were 1.7% and 1.8% for the three months ended
September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Depreciation
and amortization rose 7.1%, primarily due to increased deployment of
shorter-lived customer premise
equipment, partly offset by lower spending on plant upgrade and rebuild.
Adjusted OIBDA
Adjusted
OIBDA increased by 3.9%, due to revenue growth, especially in data and phone, offset in
part by increases in service costs, and selling, general and administrative expenses.
Operating Income
Operating income was essentially flat compared to the prior year period, due to growth in Adjusted
OIBDA, offset by higher depreciation and amortization expense.
Interest Expense, Net
Interest expense, net, increased by 3.3%, primarily due to the expiration of certain interest rate
hedging agreements with favorable rates, and to a lesser extent, higher average indebtedness.
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 September 30, 2007 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 quarterly mark-to-market valuation of these interest rate swaps, we recorded a loss
on derivatives, net amounting to $6.1 million and $7.5 million for the three months ended September
30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Loss on Sale of Cable Systems
During
the three months ended September 30, 2007, we sold cable systems for $1.8 million and
recorded a loss on sale of $1.7 million.
Investment Income from Affiliate
Investment income from affiliate was $4.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007.
This amount represents the investment income on our $150.0 million preferred equity investment in
Mediacom Broadband LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of MCC.
Net Loss
As a
result of the factors described above, we recognized a net loss for the three months ended
September 30, 2007 of $11.3 million, compared to a net loss of $10.1 million for the three months
ended September 30, 2006.

Revenues rose 7.1%, largely attributable to growth in our data and phone customers. Average total
monthly revenue per basic subscriber grew 11.3%. RGUs grew 6.8% year-over-year and average total
monthly revenue per RGU was essentially flat compared with the prior year period.
Video revenues grew 0.6% for the nine month period, with higher service fees from our advanced
video products and services, such as DVRs and HDTV, offset by a lower number of basic subscribers.
Since December 31, 2006, we lost 21,000 basic subscribers, including a significant number of basic
subscribers lost in connection with the retransmission consent
dispute with Sinclair, and the sale during the period
of cable systems serving on a net basis 4,100 basic subscribers, compared to a loss of 14,000 basic
subscribers for the same period last year.
Data revenues rose 19.2%, primarily due to a 18.1% increase in data customers.
Phone revenues grew 248.6% largely due to a 195.7% increase in phone customers.
Advertising revenues increased 4.0%, largely as a result of stronger local advertising sales.
18
Costs and Expenses
Service costs rose 10.2%, 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
54.6%, commensurate with the significant increase of our phone and data customers. Programming
expense rose 5.4%, 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 43.1% and 41.86% for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Selling, general and administrative expenses rose 7.3%, principally due to higher marketing, bad
debt and office expenses. Marketing costs rose by 16.1%, largely due to increases in product and
service advertising, direct mailing campaigns and personnel costs, and a decrease in promotional
support. Bad debt expenses were higher by 27.0%, primarily due to higher average write-offs per
delinquent account, unusually low write-offs of uncollectible accounts in the prior year period and
increased collection expense. Office costs increased by 16.9%,
primarily due to higher call center
telecommunications charges. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of
revenues were 18.8% and 18.7% for the nine months ended September 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.
Management fee expense reflects charges incurred under management arrangements with our parent,
MCC. Management fee expense increased 7.8%, reflecting higher
overhead charges by MCC. Management fee expenses as a percentage of
revenues were 1.7% for each of the nine month periods ended
September 30, 2007 and 2006.
Depreciation and amortization rose 5.6%, due primarily to increased deployment of customer premise

Adjusted OIBDA
Adjusted

Operating Income
Operating
income grew 0.9%, due to growth in Adjusted OIBDA, largely offset by higher
depreciation and amortization expense.
Interest Expense, Net
Interest expense, net, increased by 8.5%, primarily due to the expiration of certain interest rate
hedging agreements with favorable rates and, to a lesser extent,
higher average indebtedness.
Loss on Derivatives, Net

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 loss
on derivatives, net amounting to $4.2 million and $6.5 million for the nine months ended September
30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
19
Gain
on Sale of Cable Systems, net
During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, we sold cable systems for $24.8 million and
recorded a gain on sale of $9.1 million.
Investment Income from Affiliate
Investment income from affiliate was $13.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and
2006, respectively. This amount represents the investment income on our $150.0 million preferred
equity investment in Mediacom Broadband LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of MCC.
Net Loss
As a result of the factors described above, we recognized a net loss for the nine months ended
September 30, 2007 of $3.3 million, compared to a net loss of $13.1 million for the nine months
ended September 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 September 30, 2007, our total debt was $1,527.1 million, of which $21.5 million matures
within the twelve months ending September 30, 2008. During the nine months ended September 30,
2007, we paid cash interest of approximately $112.1 million, net of capitalized interest. As of September 30,
2007, we had unused revolving credit commitments of approximately $324.9 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 September 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 these covenants and that we will meet our current and long-term debt service,
capital spending, and other cash requirements through a combination of our net cash flows from
operating activities, borrowing availability under our bank credit facilities, and our ability to
secure future external financing. However, there 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 $81.9 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2007, as compared to $89.9 million for the comparable period last year. The change of
$8.0 million is primarily due to the loss on early extinguishment of debt in the nine months ended
September 30, 2006, and to a lesser extent, the net change in
operating assets and liabilities.
20
During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the net change in our operating assets and
liabilities was $5.8 million, primarily due to an increase in
our accrued liabilities of $16.5
million and an increase in deferred revenue of $2.0 million, offset by an increase in our prepaid expenses and other assets of
$9.6 million, an increase in accounts receivable net of $1.8 million and a decrease in our other
non-current liabilities of $1.2 million.
Investing Activities
Net cash flows used in investing activities were $65.6 million for the nine months ended September
30, 2007, as compared to $74.7 million for the prior year
period. Capital expenditures increased $8.4 million to
$83.2 million primarily due to higher spending on customer
premise equipment and installation activities. In addition, we received proceeds of $24.8 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 $21.2 million for the nine months ended September
30, 2007, largely due to a net reduction of debt. Net cash flows used in financing activities were
$12.2 million for the comparable period in 2006, largely due to net bank borrowings, offset by a
distribution to our parent.
Other
We have entered into interest rate exchange agreements with counterparties, which expire from 2009
through 2010, to hedge $400.0 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 September 30, 2007. Our
interest rate exchange agreements are scheduled to expire in the amounts of $300.0 million and
$100.0 million during the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2010, respectively.
As of September 30, 2007, approximately $18.0 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 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 our rates.
