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: competition for video,
high-speed data and phone customers; 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 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, 2007 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 Broadband LLC (Mediacom Broadband, and collectively with its subsidiaries, (we,
our or us ) 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.
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 the our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007. 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, 2008.
Effective January 1, 2008, we adopted SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. See Note 2.
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 Broadband Corporation (Broadband Corporation), a Delaware corporation
wholly-owned by us, co-issued, jointly and severally with us, 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. Therefore, separate financial statements have not been presented for this
entity.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to 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 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. Effective January 1, 2008, we adopted SFAS No. 157
for our financial assets and liabilities. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff
Position (FSP) No. FAS 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157, which delays the
effective date of SFAS No. 157 for nonfinancial assets and liabilities, except for items
that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring
basis (at least annually), to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 and interim
periods within those fiscal years. We are evaluating the impact of our nonfinancial assets
and liabilities which include goodwill and other intangible assets. SFAS No. 157 establishes
a framework for measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting principles and
expands disclosures about fair value measurement. The adoption of SFAS No. 157 on January 1,
2008 did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
The following sets forth our financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a
recurring basis at June 30, 2008. These assets and liabilities have been categorized
according to the three-level fair value hierarchy established by SFAS No. 157, which
prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value.
|
|
Level 1 Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
|
|
|
Level 2 Observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by
market data. |
|
|
|
Level 3 Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data. |
7
As of June 30, 2008, our liabilities under our interest rate exchange agreements, net, were
valued at $17.1 million using Level 2 inputs.
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
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 adopted SFAS No. 159 as of January 1, 2008. We did
not elect the fair value option of SFAS No. 159.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (R), Business Combinations, which continues
to require the treatment that all business combinations be accounted for by applying the
acquisition method. Under the acquisition method, the acquirer recognizes and measures the
identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any contingent consideration and
contractual contingencies, as a whole, at their fair value as of the acquisition date. Under
SFAS No. 141 (R), all transaction costs are expensed as incurred. SFAS No. 141 (R) replaces
SFAS No. 141. The guidance in SFAS No. 141 (R) will be applied prospectively to business
combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual
reporting period beginning after December 15, 2008.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated
Financial Statements an amendment of ARB No. 51. SFAS No. 160 requires that a
noncontrolling interest (previously referred to as a minority interest) be separately
reported in the equity section of the consolidated entitys balance sheet. SFAS No. 160 also
established accounting and reporting standards for: (i) ownership interests in subsidiaries
held by parties other than the parent; (ii) the amount of consolidated net income
attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest; (iii) changes in a parents
ownership interest; (iv) the valuation of retained noncontrolling equity investments when a
subsidiary is deconsolidated; and (v) sufficient disclosures to identify the interest of the
parent and the noncontrolling owners. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning
on or after December 15, 2008. We are currently assessing the potential impact that the
adoption of SFAS No. 160 will have on our consolidated financial statements.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activitiesan amendment of FASB Statement No. 133. SFAS No. 161 requires enhanced
disclosures about an entitys derivative and hedging activities and thereby improves the
transparency of financial reporting. SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements
issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early
application encouraged. We have not completed our evaluation of SFAS No. 161 to determine
the impact that adoption will have 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 June
30, 2008 and 2007 were 4.8% and 7.0%, respectively, before giving effect to the interest
rate exchange agreements discussed below. As of June 30, 2008, we had unused credit
commitments of approximately $531.9 million under our bank credit facilities, all of which
could be borrowed and used for general corporate purposes based on the terms and conditions
of our debt arrangements. For all
periods through June 30, 2008, we were in compliance with all of the covenants under our
bank credit and senior note arrangements.
As of June 30, 2008, approximately $9.1 million of letters of credit were issued under our
bank credit facilities to various parties as collateral for our performance relating
primarily to insurance and franchise requirements.
On
May 29, 2008, we entered into an incremental facility agreement that
provides for a new term loan (new term loan) under our credit facility in the principal
amount of $350.0 million. On May 29, 2008, the full amount of the $350.0 million new term
loan was borrowed by our operating subsidiaries. Approximately $335.0 million of the
proceeds from the new term loan were used to repay the outstanding balance of the revolving
credit portion of our credit facility, without any reduction in the revolving credit
commitments. The balance of the proceeds from the new term loan were used for general
corporate purposes.
9
Borrowings under the new term loan bear interest at a floating rate or rates equal to LIBOR
or the prime rate, plus a margin of 3.50% for LIBOR loans and a margin of 2.50% for prime
rate loans. For the first four years of the new term loan, LIBOR and the prime rate
applicable to the new term loan are subject to a minimum of 3.00% in the case of LIBOR and a
minimum of 4.00% in the case of the prime rate. The new term loan matures on January 3,
2016. The obligations of the operating subsidiaries under the new term loan are governed by
the terms of our credit facility.
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, 2008, we had interest rate exchange agreements with various banks
pursuant to which the interest rate on $700.0 million was fixed at a weighted average rate
of approximately 5.0%. As of the same date, about 67.6% of our outstanding indebtedness was
at fixed market rates or subject to interest rate protection. These agreements have been
accounted for on a mark-to-market basis as of, and for, the three months ended June 30,
2008. Our interest rate exchange agreements are scheduled to expire in the amounts of $500.0
million, $100.0 and $100.0 million during the years ended December 31, 2009, 2010 and 2011,
respectively.
The fair value of the interest rate exchange agreements is the estimated amount that we
would receive or pay to terminate such agreements, taking into account market interest
rates, the remaining time to maturities and other factors. As of June 30, 2008 and December
31, 2007, based on the mark-to-market valuation, we recorded on our consolidated balance
sheets an accumulated liability for derivatives of $17.1 million and $16.3 million,
respectively. As a result of the mark-to-market valuations on these interest rate exchange
agreements, we recorded a gain on derivatives of $14.4 million and $5.3 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 respectively. We recorded a net loss on
derivatives of $0.8 million and a net gain on derivatives of $3.0 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
6. PREFERRED MEMBERS INTERESTS
Mediacom LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of MCC, has a $150.0 million preferred equity
investment in our company as of June 30, 2008. The preferred equity investment has a 12%
annual dividend, payable quarterly in cash. During each of the three months ended June 30,
2008 and 2007, we paid $4.5 million in cash dividends on the preferred equity. During each
of the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, we paid $9.0 million in cash dividends on
the preferred equity.

were granted with a weighted average exercise price of $4.37 and a weighted average fair
value of $2.19 per stock option. During the six months ended June 30, 2008, approximately
107,000 restricted stock units were vested and no stock options were exercised.

for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007. The net proceeds to us were approximately $0.2
million for each of the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007. The net proceeds to us
were approximately $0.3 million for each of the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007.

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 six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007,
and with our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2007.
Overview
We are a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mediacom Communications Corporation (MCC), the
nations eighth largest cable television company based on the number of basic video
subscribers. Through our interactive broadband network, we provide our customers with a wide
array of advanced products and services, including video services such as video-on-demand,
high-definition television (HDTV) and digital video recorders (DVRs), high-speed data
(HSD) and phone service. We offer triple-play bundles of video, HSD and phone to 95% 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, 2008, our cable systems passed an estimated 1.48 million homes and served
715,000 basic video subscribers in four states. We provide digital video services to 335,000
customers, representing a digital penetration of 46.9% of our basic subscribers; HSD service
to 379,000 customers, representing a HSD penetration of 25.6% of our estimated homes passed;
and phone service to 122,000 customers, representing a penetration of 8.7% of our estimated
marketable phone homes.
We evaluate our performance, in part, by measuring the number of revenue generating units
(RGUs) we serve, which represent the total of basic subscribers and digital, HSD and phone
customers. As of June 30, 2008, we served 1.6 million RGUs, an increase of 6.7% over the end
of the prior year period.
Retransmission Consent
Prior to February 2007, cable systems serving our subscribers carried the broadcast signals
of 4 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. All 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.
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 this retransmission consent dispute, we experienced higher levels of basic
subscriber losses and operating expenses in the fourth quarter of 2006 and the first quarter
of 2007.
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. It is also a significant performance measure in our annual
incentive compensation programs. 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.
Adjusted OIBDA and similar measures are used in calculating compliance with the covenants of
our debt arrangements. 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 the our
non-cash, share-based compensation charges.
12
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
rose 7.3%, largely attributable to growth in our HSD and phone customers and an increase
in video revenues. RGUs grew 6.7% and average total monthly revenue per RGU
rose 0.9%.
Video revenues primarily represent monthly subscription fees charged to customers for our
core cable television products and services (including 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. HSD revenues primarily represent monthly fees charged to customers, including
commercial establishments, for our HSD 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.
Video revenues grew 2.8%, largely due to basic video rate increases and customer growth in
our advanced video products and services, partially offset by a lower number of basic
subscribers. During the three months ended June 30, 2008, we lost 7,000 basic subscribers,
compared to a loss of 12,000 basic subscribers for the same period last year. Digital
customers grew by 4,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2008, as compared to a loss
of 1,000 in the prior year period. As of June 30, 2008, 32.8% of digital customers received
DVR and/or HDTV services, as compared to 26.9% at the end of the prior year period.
HSD revenues rose 15.0%, primarily due to a 13.1% year-over-year increase in HSD customers.
During the three months ended June 30, 2008, HSD customers grew by 5,000, as compared to a
gain of 4,000 in the prior year period.
14
Phone revenues grew 50.3%, mainly due to a 41.9% year-over-year increase in phone customers.
During each of the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, phone customers grew by 8,000. As of
June 30, 2008, our phone service was marketed to 95% of our estimated 1.48 million homes
passed.
Advertising revenues were essentially flat year-over-year, largely as a result of an
increase in local advertising, offset by a decrease in national advertising.
Costs and Expenses
Significant 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; HSD costs, including costs of
bandwidth connectivity and customer provisioning; phone service costs, including delivery
and other costs; 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 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. These 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 6.7%, primarily due to increases in programming, field operating, phone
service and personnel expenses, offset in part by lower HSD costs. Programming expenses grew
5.2%, principally as a result of higher contractual rates charged by our programming
vendors, offset in part by a lower number of basic subscribers. Field
operating, expenses
grew 26.6%, primarily due to higher vehicle fuel and repair costs and lower capitalization
of overhead costs, offset in part by a decrease in insurance costs. Phone service costs
rose 45.9%, primarily due to the growth in phone customers. Personnel costs rose 10.8%
largely due to higher technical operations staffing. HSD expenses decreased 24.1%, due to a
reduction in product delivery costs, offset in part by HSD customer growth. Service costs as
a percentage of revenues were 40.0% and 40.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and
2007, 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 office costs related to
telecommunications and office administration.
Selling, general and administrative expenses rose 2.8%, principally due to higher costs
related to customer service and marketing, offset in part by a decrease in
telecommunications and billing expenses. Customer service employee costs rose 23.2%, mainly
due to additional staffing. Marketing costs grew 5.5%, primarily due to higher staffing
level, greater usage of third-party sales support and an increase in direct mailing
campaigns, offset in part by a reduction in other advertising. Telecommunications costs
decreased 6.9%, primarily due to more favorable rates. Billing expenses fell 8.0%,
principally due to decreased processing fees. Selling, general and administrative expenses
as a percentage of revenues were 20.9% and 21.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2008
and 2007, respectively.
Management fee expense reflects charges incurred under management arrangements with our
parent, MCC. Management fee expense increased 10.3%, reflecting
higher overhead charges at MCC. Management fee expenses as a percentage of revenues
were 1.9% and 1.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Depreciation and amortization rose 8.4%, primarily due to increased deployment of
shorter-lived customer premise equipment.
Adjusted OIBDA
Adjusted OIBDA increased 10.6%, due to growth in HSD, video and phone revenues, offset in
part by higher service costs and selling, general and administrative expenses.
Operating Income
Operating income grew 12.3%, due to the increase in Adjusted OIBDA, offset in part by higher
depreciation and amortization.
15
Interest Expense, Net
Interest expense, net, decreased 5.1%, primarily due to lower market interest rates on
variable rate debt, offset in part by higher average indebtedness.
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, 2008, we had interest rate swaps with an
aggregate notional amount of $700.0 million. The changes in their mark-to-market values are
derived primarily from changes in market interest rates, the decrease in their time to
maturity and other factors. These swaps have not been designated as hedges for accounting
purposes. As a result of the quarterly mark-to-market valuation of these interest rate
swaps, we recorded gains on derivatives amounting to $14.4 million and $5.3 million, based
upon information provided by our counterparties, for the three months ended June 30, 2008
and 2007, respectively.
Net Income
As a result of the factors described above, we recognized net income of $27.5 million for
the three months ended June 30, 2008, compared to net income of $12.2 million for the prior
year period.

Revenues rose 8.6%, largely attributable to an increase in video revenues, growth in our HSD
and phone customers and a favorable comparison to the prior year period when results were
affected by the Sinclair retransmission consent dispute in the first quarter. RGUs grew 6.7%
and average total monthly revenue per RGU rose 3.2%.
Video revenues grew 4.8%, largely due to basic video rate increases and customer growth
in our advanced video products and services, partially offset by a lower number of basic
subscribers. During the six months ended June 30, 2008, we lost 5,000 basic subscribers,
compared to a reduction in 23,000 basic subscribers for the same period last year, which
includes a significant number of basic subscribers lost in connection with the
aforementioned retransmission consent dispute.
HSD revenues rose 16.0%, primarily due to a 13.1% year-over-year increase in HSD customers
and continued growth with our enterprise network products and services.
Phone revenues grew 48.3%, mainly due to a 41.9% year-over-year increase in phone customers.
17
Advertising revenues were lower by 1.8%, largely as a result of an overall reduction in
national advertising, offset in part by an increase in local advertising.
Costs and Expenses
Service costs rose 5.2%, primarily due to increases in programming, phone service and field
operating expenses, offset in part by lower HSD costs. Programming expenses grew 5.3%,
principally as a result of higher contractual rates charged by our programming vendors,
offset in part by a lower number of basic subscribers. Phone service costs rose 43.0%,
mainly due to the growth in phone customers. Field operating expenses grew 13.5%, primarily
due to greater vehicle fuel and repair expenses and lower capitalization of overhead costs,
offset in part by non-recurring expenses in the prior year period relating to the
retransmission consent dispute noted above and lower insurance costs. HSD expenses
decreased 24.0%, due to a reduction in product delivery costs, offset in part by HSD
customer growth. Service costs as a percentage of revenues were 40.2% and 41.5% for the six
months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Selling, general and administrative expenses rose 5.5%, principally due to higher costs
related to marketing and customer service, offset in part by a decrease in
telecommunications expenses. Marketing costs grew 15.8%, primarily due to additional
staffing, more frequent direct mailing campaigns and greater use of third-party sales
support, offset in part by a reduction in other advertising. Customer service employee
costs rose 16.9%, principally due to higher staffing levels. Telecommunications costs fell
10.1%, primarily due to more favorable rates. Selling, general and administrative expenses
as a percentage of revenues were 21.1% and 21.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and
2007, respectively.
Management fee expense reflects charges incurred under management arrangements with our
parent, MCC. Management fee expense increased 11.9%, reflecting
higher overhead charges at MCC.
Management fee expenses as a percentage of revenues were 1.9% for the six months ended June
30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Depreciation and amortization rose 9.1%, primarily due to increased deployment of
shorter-lived customer premise equipment.
Adjusted OIBDA
Adjusted OIBDA increased 14.3%, due to growth in video, HSD and phone revenues, offset in
part by higher service costs and selling, general and administrative expenses.
Operating Income
Operating income grew 18.8%, due to the increase in Adjusted OIBDA, offset in part by higher
depreciation and amortization.
Interest Expense, Net
Interest expense, net, decreased 5.3%, primarily due to lower market interest rates on
variable rate debt, offset in part by higher average indebtedness.
(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, 2008, we had interest rate swaps with an
aggregate notional amount of $700.0 million. The changes in their mark-to-market values are
derived primarily from changes in market interest rates, the decrease in their time to
maturity and other factors. These swaps have not been designated as hedges for accounting
purposes. As a result of the quarterly mark-to-market valuation of these interest rate
swaps, we recorded a net loss on derivatives amounting of $0.8 million and a net gain on
derivatives of $3.0 million, based upon information provided by our counterparties, for the
six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
We have invested, and will continue to invest, in our network to enhance our reliability and
capacity and the further deployment of advanced broadband services. Our capital spending has
recently shifted from mainly network upgrade investments to the deployment of advanced
services, and 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 interest expense and principal payments, 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. 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.
As of June 30, 2008, our total debt was $1,774.5 million. Of this amount, $82.8 million
matures within the year ending June 30, 2009. During the six months ended June 30, 2008, we
paid cash interest of $55.0 million, net of capitalized interest. As of June 30, 2008, about
67.6% of our outstanding indebtedness was at fixed interest rates or subject to interest
rate protection.
Bank Credit Facilities
Our principal operating subsidiaries maintain in aggregate $1.82 billion in bank credit
facilities, of which $1,274.5 million was outstanding as of June 30, 2008. 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, principally
the requirement that we maintain a maximum ratio of total senior debt to cash flow, as
detailed in our credit agreements, of 6.0 to 1.0. The average interest rates on outstanding
debt under our bank credit facilities as of June 30, 2008 and 2007 were 4.8% and 7.0%,
respectively, before giving effect to the interest rate exchange agreements discussed below.
As of June 30, 2008, we had unused credit commitments of $531.9 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.
As of June 30, 2008, approximately $9.1 million of letters of credit were issued under our
bank credit facilities to various parties as collateral for our performance relating to
insurance and franchise requirements.
On
May 29, 2008, we entered into an incremental facility agreement that
provides for a new term loan (new term loan) under our credit facility in the principal
amount of $350.0 million. On May 29, 2008, the full amount of the $350.0 million new term
loan was borrowed by our operating subsidiaries. Approximately $335.0 million of the
proceeds from the new term loan were used to repay the outstanding balance of the revolving
credit portion of our credit facility, without any reduction in the revolving credit
commitments. The balance of the proceeds from the new term loan were used for general
corporate purposes.
Borrowings under the new term loan bear interest at a floating rate or rates equal to LIBOR
or the prime rate, plus a margin of 3.50% for LIBOR loans and a margin of 2.50% for prime
rate loans. For the first four years of the new term loan, LIBOR and the prime rate
applicable to the new term loan are subject to a minimum of 3.00% in the case of LIBOR and a
minimum of 4.00% in the case of the prime rate. The new term loan matures on January 3,
2016. The obligations of the operating subsidiaries under the new term loan are governed by
the terms of our credit facility.
Interest Rate Exchange Agreements
As of June 30, 2008, we had entered into interest rate swaps with counterparties to hedge
$700.0 million of floating rate debt at weighted average fixed rate of 5.0%. These swaps are
scheduled to expire in the amounts of $500.0 million, $100.0 and $100.0 million during the
years ended December 31, 2009, 2010 and 2011, respectively, and have been accounted for on a
mark-to-market basis as of, and for, the six months ended June 30, 2008. 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. However, due to the high creditworthiness of our
counterparties, which are major banking firms with investment grade rankings, we do not
anticipate their nonperformance.
19
The fair value of the interest rate swaps is the estimated amount that we would receive or
pay to terminate such agreements, taking into account market interest rates, the remaining
time to maturities and other factors. As of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, based on
the mark-to-market valuation, we recorded on our consolidated balance sheets an accumulated
liability for derivatives of $17.1 million and $16.3 million, respectively, of which $12.7
million and $0 was classified as current liabilities, respectively.
Senior Notes
We have issued senior notes totaling $500.0 million as of June 30, 2008. The indentures
governing our senior notes also contain financial and other covenants, though they are
generally less restrictive than those found in our bank credit facilities and do not require
us to maintain any financial ratios. Principal covenants include a limitation on the
incurrence of additional indebtedness based upon a maximum ratio of total indebtedness to
cash flow, as defined in these debt agreements, of 8.5 to 1. These agreements also contain
limitations on dividends, investments and distributions.
Covenant Compliance and Debt Ratings
For all periods through June 30, 2008, we were in compliance with all of the covenants under
our bank credit facilities and senior note arrangements. There are no covenants, events of
default, borrowing conditions or other terms in our bank credit facilities and senior note
arrangements that are based on changes in our credit rating assigned by any rating agency.
We believe that we will not have any difficulty complying with any of the applicable
covenants in the foreseeable future.
Operating Activities
Net cash flows provided by operating activities were $68.5 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2008, primarily due to Adjusted OIBDA of $142.7, offset in part by interest expense
of $56.6 million and the $17.5 million net change in our operating assets and liabilities.
The net change in our operating assets and liabilities was principally due to an increase in
accounts receivable to affiliates of $16.7 million and a decrease in accounts payable,
accrued expenses and other current liabilities of $4.3 million, offset in part by a decrease
in accounts receivable, net, of $2.6 million, an increase in deferred revenue of $1.0
million and a decrease in prepaid expenses and other assets of $0.8 million.
Net cash flows provided by operating activities were $48.8 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2007, primarily due to Adjusted OIBDA of $124.8 million, offset in part by interest
expense of $59.7 million and the $14.9 million net change in our operating assets and
liabilities. The net change in our operating assets and liabilities was principally due to
an increase in prepaid and other assets of $21.7 million, offset in part by an increase in
accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities of $5.4 million, an
increase in deferred revenue of $2.2 million and a decrease in accounts receivable, net, of
$0.2 million.
Investing Activities
Net cash flows used in investing activities were $70.0 million for the six months ended June
30, 2008, as compared to $59.4 million for the prior year period. In both periods, capital
expenditures represent all of the net cash flows used in investing activities. This change
of $10.6 million was due to greater investments in customer premise equipment and related installation activities and our HSD delivery systems.
Financing Activities
Net cash flows provided by financing activities were $19.3 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2008, principally due to net bank financing of $65.0 million, which funded dividend
payments to MCC of $22.4 million for repurchases of its Class A common stock totaling $22.4
million, financing costs of $11.4 million and a dividend payment on preferred members
interest of $9.0 million.
Net cash flows provided by financing activities were $5.9 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2007, primarily due to net bank financing of $28.4 million, which funded capital
distributions of $9.4 million, a dividend payment on preferred members interest of $9.0
million and a dividend payment to MCC of $4.3 million.
20
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, 2007.
Critical Accounting Policies
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. We believe that the application of the critical
accounting policies requires significant judgments and estimates on the part of management.
For a summary of our critical accounting policies, please refer to our annual report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.
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.
