The Securities and Exchange Commission allows us to “incorporate by reference” information that we file with them, which means that we can disclose important information by referring you directly to those documents.

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 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 “anticipates,” “believes,” “continue,” “could,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “may,” “plans,” “potential,” “predicts,” “should” or “will,” or the negative of those and other comparable words. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance or results, and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or those we anticipate as a result of various factors, many of which are beyond our control. Factors that may cause such differences to occur include, but are not limited to:

•

increased levels of competition from existing and new competitors;

•

lower demand for our video, high-speed data and phone services;

•

our ability to successfully introduce new products and services to meet customer demands and preferences;

•

changes in laws, regulatory requirements or technology that may cause us to incur additional costs and expenses;

•

greater than anticipated increases in programming costs and other delivery expenses related to our products and services;

•

changes in assumptions underlying our critical accounting policies;

•

our ability to secure hardware, software and operational support for the delivery of products and services to our customers;

•

disruptions or failures of our network and information systems, including those caused by natural disasters;

•

our reliance on certain intellectual properties;

•

our ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet our debt service obligations;

•

our ability to refinance future debt maturities or provide future funding for general corporate purposes and potential strategic transactions, on similar terms as we currently experience; and

•

other risks and uncertainties discussed in this Quarterly Report, our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 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 required by applicable federal securities laws.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. ORGANIZATION

Basis of Preparation of Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

Mediacom LLC (“Mediacom LLC” and collectively with its subsidiaries, “we,” “our” 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. Our principal operating subsidiaries conduct all of our consolidated operations and own substantially all of our consolidated assets. Our operating subsidiaries are separate and distinct legal entities and have no obligation, contingent or otherwise, to make funds available to us.

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, 2011. 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, 2012.

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 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.

Franchise fees imposed by local governmental authorities are collected on a monthly basis from our customers and are periodically remitted to the local governmental authorities. Because franchise fees are our obligation, we present them on a gross basis with a corresponding operating expense. Franchise fees reported on a gross basis amounted to approximately $3.1 million and $3.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts to conform to the current year presentation.

Revision of Prior Period Financial Statements

In connection with the preparation of our consolidated financial statements as of, and for the year ended December 31, 2011, during the fourth quarter of 2011, we identified and corrected errors in the manner in which we recorded fixed assets and the related depreciation expense on fixed assets purchased by MCC on behalf of our operating subsidiaries. Such capital expenditures and associated depreciation were recorded at MCC, whereas they were related to, and should have been incurred by, our operating subsidiaries. In accordance with accounting guidance found in ASC 250-10 (SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 99, Materiality), we assessed the materiality of the errors and concluded that the errors were not material to any of our previously-issued financial statements. In accordance with accounting guidance found in ASC 250-10 (SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements), we have revised all affected periods. These non-cash errors impacted our statement of operations and cash flows for the comparative periods presented.

The following table presents the impact of the revision on our Consolidated Statements of Operations (amounts in thousands):


	Three Months Ended March 31, 2011
	As Previously Reported		Adjustment			As Revised
Depreciation and amortization expense	$	29,231	$	68		$	29,299
Operating income		29,892		(68	)		29,824
Net income		16,527		(68	)		16,459

2. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-06 (“ASU 2010-06”), Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements, which amends Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No. 820 — Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”) to add new requirements for disclosures about transfers into and out of Levels 1 and 2 and separate disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements relating to Level 3 measurements. The ASU also clarifies existing fair value disclosures about the level of disaggregation and about inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The ASU is effective for the first reporting period (including interim periods) beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the requirement to provide the Level 3 activity of purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements on a gross basis, which will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our financial statements or related disclosures.

In December 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-28 (“ASU 2010-28”) — When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force). The amendments to ASC 350 — Intangibles — Goodwill and Other in ASU 2010-28 affect all entities that have recognized goodwill and have one or more reporting units whose carrying amount for purposes of performing Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test is zero or negative. The amendments modify Step 1 so that for those reporting units, an entity is required to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. In determining whether it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists, an entity should consider whether there are any adverse qualitative factors indicating that an impairment may exist. The qualitative factors are consistent with existing guidance, which requires that goodwill of a reporting unit be tested for impairment between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. We adopted ASU 2010-28 as of January 1, 2011. The adoption of ASU 2010-28 did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

In May 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-04 (“ASU 2011-04”), Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) — Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs, which provides a converged framework for fair value measurements and related disclosures between generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. and International Financial Reporting Standards. ASU 2011-04 amends the fair value measurement and disclosure guidance in the following areas: (i) Highest-and-best use and the valuation-premise concepts for non-financial assets, (ii) application to financial assets and liabilities with offsetting positions in market or counterparty credit risk, (iii) premiums or discounts in fair value measurement, (iv) fair value measurements for amounts classified in equity; and (v) other disclosure requirements particularly involving Level 3 inputs. This guidance will be effective for us as of January 1, 2012. We adopted ASU 2011-04 on January 1, 2012. ASU 2011-04 did not have a material impact on our financial statements or related disclosures.

In September 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-08 (“ASU 2011-08”) Intangibles — Goodwill and Other (Topic 350). Under ASU 2011-08, an entity has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, an entity determines it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount, then performing the two-step impairment test is unnecessary. However, if an entity concludes otherwise, then it is required to perform the first step of the two-step impairment test. Under ASU 2011-08, an entity has the option to bypass the qualitative assessment for any reporting unit in any period and proceed directly to performing the first step of the two-step goodwill impairment test. An entity may resume performing the qualitative assessment in any subsequent period. ASU 2011-08 is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. We adopted ASU 2011-08 on January 1, 2012. ASU 2011-08 did not have a material impact on our financial statements or related disclosures.

3. FAIR VALUE

The tables below set forth our financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using a market-based approach at March 31, 2012. These assets and liabilities have been categorized according to the three-level fair value hierarchy established by ASC 820, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value, as follows:

•

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.

As of March 31, 2012, our interest rate exchange agreement liabilities, net, were valued at $51.5 million using Level 2 inputs, as follows (dollars in thousands):


	Fair Value as of March 31, 2012
	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Assets

Interest rate exchange agreements—liabilities, net	$	—	$	51,485	$	—	$	51,485

As of December 31, 2011, our interest rate exchange agreement liabilities, net, were valued at $53.1 million using Level 2 inputs, as follows (dollars in thousands):


	Fair Value as of December 31, 2011

Interest rate exchange agreements—liabilities, net	$	—	$	53,097	$	—	$	53,097

The fair value of our interest rate exchange agreements is the estimated amount that we would receive or pay to terminate such agreements, taking into account market interest rates and the remaining time to maturities. As of March 31, 2012, based upon mark-to- market valuation, we recorded on our consolidated balance sheet, an accumulated current liability of $18.0 million and an accumulated long-term liability of $33.5 million. As of December 31, 2011, based upon mark-to-market valuation, we recorded on our consolidated balance sheet an accumulated current liability of $17.3 million and an accumulated long-term liability of $35.8 million. As a result of the mark-to-market valuations on these interest rate exchange agreements, we recorded a net gain on derivatives of $1.6 million and $7.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Bank Credit Facility

As of March 31, 2012, we maintained a $1.087 billion bank credit facility (the “credit facility”), comprising:

•

$225.2 million of revolving credit commitments, which expire on December 31, 2014;

•

$615.9 million of outstanding Term Loan C borrowings, which mature on January 31, 2015; and

•

$245.6 million of outstanding Term Loan E borrowings, which mature on October 23, 2017.

As of March 31, 2012, we had $97.2 million of unused revolving credit commitments, all of which were able to be borrowed and used for general corporate purposes, after giving effect to $118.5 million of outstanding loans and $9.5 million of letters of credit issued to various parties as collateral.

The credit facility is collateralized by our ownership interests in our operating subsidiaries, and is guaranteed by us on a limited recourse basis to the extent of such ownership interests. As of March 31, 2012, the credit agreement governing the credit facility (the “credit agreement”) required us to maintain a total leverage ratio (as defined) of no more than 5.5 to 1.0 and an interest coverage ratio (as defined) of no less than 2.0 to 1.0. The total leverage ratio covenant will be reduced to 5.0 to 1.0 commencing on October 1, 2012. For all periods through March 31, 2012, we were in compliance with all of the covenants under the credit agreement and, as of the same date, our total leverage ratio and interest coverage ratio were 3.4 to 1.0 and 2.8 to 1.0, respectively.

On February 7, 2012, the entire outstanding amount of $293.3 million under Term Loan D of the credit facility was repaid with proceeds from the issuance of new senior notes combined with a draw down from our revolving credit commitments. See “Senior Notes.”

As a result of the repayment of Term Loan D, we recorded in our consolidated statements of operations a loss on early extinguishment of $6.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. This amount represents the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs.

Interest Rate Exchange Agreements

We use interest rate exchange agreements (which we refer to as “interest rate swaps”) with various banks to fix the variable portion of borrowings under the credit facility. We believe this reduces the potential volatility in our interest expense that would otherwise result from changes in market interest rates. Our interest rate swaps have not been designated as hedges for accounting purposes, and have been accounted for on a mark-to-market basis as of, and for the three months ended, March 31, 2012, and 2011. As of March 31, 2012:

•

We had current interest rate swaps which set the variable portion of $700 million of borrowings under the credit facility at a rate of 3.0%. Our current interest rate swaps are scheduled to expire in the amounts of $400 million and $300 million during the years ending December 31, 2012 and 2014, respectively; and

•

We had forward-starting interest rate swaps which will fix the variable portion of $600 million of borrowings under the credit facility at a rate of 2.9%. Our forward-starting interest rate swaps are scheduled to commence in the amounts of $400 million and $200 million during the years ending December 31, 2012 and 2014, respectively.

As of March 31, 2012, the average interest rate on outstanding borrowings under the credit facility, including the effect of these interest rate swaps, was 4.6%, as compared to 5.3% as of the same date last year.

Senior Notes

As of March 31, 2012, we had $600 million of senior notes outstanding. Our senior notes are unsecured obligations, and the indentures governing our senior notes (the “indentures”) limits the incurrence of additional indebtedness based upon a maximum debt to operating cash flow ratio (as defined) of 8.5 to 1.0. As of March 31, 2012, we were in compliance with all of the covenants under the indentures and, as of the same date, our debt to operating cash flow ratio was 5.8 to 1.0.

On February 7, 2012, we issued 7¹/4% senior notes due February 2022 (the “7¹/4% Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $250.0 million. The 7¹/4% notes are unsecured obligations, and the indenture governing the 7¹/4% notes is substantially similar to the existing indenture governing our existing 9¹/8% senior notes due 2019. After giving effect to $4.7 million of financing costs, proceeds from the issuance of the 7¹/4% notes of $245.3 million, together with borrowings under our revolving credit commitments, were used to repay the entire outstanding amount under Term Loan D of the credit facility. As a percentage of par value, the 7¹/4% notes are redeemable at 103.625% through February 15, 2018, 102.417% through February 15, 2019, 101.208% through February 15, 2020 and at par value thereafter.

Debt Ratings

Our future access to the debt markets, and the terms and conditions we receive, are influenced by our debt ratings. MCC’s corporate credit rating is B1, with a stable outlook, by Moody’s, and B+, with a stable outlook, by Standard and Poor’s. Our senior unsecured credit rating is B3, with a stable outlook by Moody’s, and B-, with a stable outlook, by Standard and Poor’s. We cannot assure you that Moody’s and Standard and Poor’s will maintain their ratings on MCC and us. A negative change to these credit ratings could result in higher interest rates on future debt issuance than we currently experience, or adversely impact our ability to raise additional funds.

There are no covenants, events of default, borrowing conditions or other terms in the credit agreement or indenture that are based on changes in our credit rating assigned by any rating agency.

Fair Value

As of March 31, 2012, the fair values of our senior notes and outstanding debt under the credit facility (using Level 2 inputs) were as follows (dollars in thousands):


9¹/8% senior notes due 2019	$	381,938
7¹/4% senior notes due 2022		254,688

	$	636,626

Bank credit facility	$	959,984

7. MEMBER’S DEFICIT

Going Private Transaction

On November 12, 2010, MCC entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among MCC, JMC Communications LLC (“JMC”) and Rocco B. Commisso, MCC’s founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, who was also the sole member and manager of JMC, for the purpose of taking MCC private (the “Going Private Transaction”).

At a special meeting of stockholders on March 4, 2011, MCC’s stockholders voted to adopt the Merger Agreement. On the same date, JMC was merged with and into MCC, with MCC continuing as the surviving corporation, a private company that is wholly-owned by an entity controlled by Mr. Commisso (the “Merger”).

The Going Private Transaction required funding of approximately $381.5 million, including related transaction expenses, and was funded, in part, by capital distributions to MCC from us, consisting of $100.0 million of borrowings under our revolving credit facility and $36.5 million of cash on hand. The balance was funded by Mediacom Broadband LLC (“Mediacom Broadband”), another wholly-owned subsidiary of MCC.

8. PREFERRED EQUITY INVESTMENT IN AFFILIATED COMPANY

We have a $150 million preferred membership investment in Mediacom Broadband, which has a 12% annual cash dividend, payable quarterly. During each of the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, we received $4.5 million in cash dividends on the preferred membership interest.

9. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

MCC manages us pursuant to a management agreement with our operating subsidiaries. Under such agreements, MCC has full and exclusive authority to manage our day to day operations and conduct our business. We remain responsible for all expenses and liabilities relating to the construction, development, operation, maintenance, repair, and ownership of our systems. Management fees for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 amounted to approximately $3.5 million and $3.1 million, respectively.

Accounts receivable — affiliates and accounts payable — affiliates represent amounts due from, or amounts due to, Mediacom Communications Corporation or its subsidiaries (other than us).

See Note 7 for more information about the Going Private Transaction between MCC and MCC’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Rocco B. Commisso.

10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Legal Proceedings

Gary Ogg and Janice Ogg v. Mediacom LLC

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, originally filed in April 2001. The lawsuit alleges that we, in areas where there was no cable franchise, failed to obtain permission from landowners to place our fiber interconnection cable notwithstanding the possession of agreements or permission from other third parties. While the parties continue to contest liability, there also remains a dispute as to the proper measure of damages. Based on a report by their experts, the plaintiffs claim compensatory damages of approximately $14.5 million. Legal fees, prejudgment interest, potential punitive damages and other costs could increase that estimate to approximately $26.0 million. Before trial, the plaintiffs proposed an alternative damage theory of $42.0 million in compensatory damages. Notwithstanding the verdict in the trial described below, we remain unable to reasonably determine the amount of our final liability in this lawsuit. Prior to trial our experts estimated our liability to be within the range of approximately $0.1 million to $2.3 million. This estimate did not include any estimate of damages for prejudgment interest, attorneys’ fees or punitive damages.

On March 9, 2009, a jury trial commenced solely for the claim of Gary and Janice Ogg, the designated class representatives. On March 18, 2009, the jury rendered a verdict in favor of Gary and Janice Ogg setting compensatory damages of $8,863 and punitive damages of $35,000. The Court did not enter a final judgment on this verdict and therefore the amount of the verdict could not at that time be judicially collected. Although we believe that the particular circumstances of each class member may result in a different measure of damages for each member, if the same measure of compensatory damages was used for each member, the aggregate compensatory damages would be approximately $16.2 million plus the possibility of an award of attorneys’ fees, prejudgment interest, and punitive damages.

On April 22, 2011, the Circuit Court of Clay County, Missouri issued an opinion and order decertifying the class in this putative class action. A notice of appeal was filed by the plaintiff on May 2, 2011 regarding the court’s decertification of the class and the court’s refusal to award prejudgment interest on the Gary and Janice Ogg judgment. On April 4, 2012, oral arguments took place in the Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District regarding this appeal. The court has yet to announce a decision on these issues. We will vigorously defend this appeal as well as any claims made by the other members of the purported class.

We believe that the amount of actual liability would not have a significant effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows or business. There can be no assurance, however, if the decision of the Circuit Court of Clay County, Missouri is reversed, that the actual liability ultimately determined for all members of the class would not exceed our estimated range or any amount derived from the verdict rendered on March 18, 2009. 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 carrier’s defense and coverage responsibilities.

Other Legal Proceedings

We are involved in various legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows or business.

11. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

In accordance with ASC 350 — Intangibles — Goodwill and Other (“ASC 350”) (formerly 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 rights and goodwill are indefinite-lived assets and therefore not amortizable.

In accordance with ASU 2010-28, we have evaluated the qualitative factors surrounding our Mediacom LLC reporting unit with its negative equity carrying value. We do not believe that it is “more likely than not” that a goodwill impairment exists. As such, we have not performed Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test.

The economic conditions currently affecting the U.S. economy and the long-term impact on the fundamentals of our business may have a negative impact on the fair values of the assets in our reporting units. This may result in the recognition of an impairment loss in the future.

Because we believe there has not been a meaningful change in the long-term fundamentals of our business during the first three months of 2012, we have determined that there has been no triggering event under ASC 350, and as such, no interim impairment test was required as of March 31, 2012.

ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements as of, and for the three months ended, March 31, 2012 and 2011, and with our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Overview

We are a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mediacom Communications Corporation (“MCC”), the nation’s eighth largest cable company based on the number of video customers. As of March 31, 2012, we served approximately 468,000 video customers, 398,000 HSD customers and 165,000 phone customers, aggregating 1.03 million primary service units (“PSUs”).

Through our interactive broadband network, we provide our residential and commercial customers with a wide variety of products and services, including our primary services of video, high-speed data (“HSD”) and phone, which we refer to as our “triple play bundle.” We also provide network and transport services to medium and large sized businesses in our service areas, including cell tower backhaul for wireless telephone providers, and sell advertising time we receive under our programming license agreements to local, regional and national advertisers.

Our performance has been affected by general economic conditions and by the competition we face. We believe high unemployment levels, and weakness in the housing sector and consumer spending have, in part, contributed to lower connect activity for all of our services and negatively impacted our residential customer and revenue growth. While we expect improvement as the economy recovers, a continuation or broadening of such effects may adversely impact our results of operations, cash flows and financial position.

Our residential video service principally competes with direct broadcast satellite (“DBS”) providers, who offer video programming substantially similar to ours. For the past several years, DBS competitors have deployed aggressive marketing campaigns, including deeply discounted promotional packages, which we believe has contributed to video customer losses in our markets. Our programming costs, particularly for sports and local broadcast programming, have risen well in excess of the inflation rate in recent years, a trend we expect to continue. Given these factors, we have generally limited our offering of discounted pricing for video-only customers, as we believe it has become uneconomic to offer a low-priced, low-margin video-only product in an attempt to match the competition’s pricing. While the reduction of discounted pricing has positively impacted per-unit video revenues, we believe that it, along with weak economic conditions, has contributed to further video customer losses. If such losses were to continue, we may experience future annual declines in video revenues. We expect to mostly offset such declines through higher average unit pricing and greater penetration of our advanced video services, including video-on-demand (“VOD”), high-definition television (“HDTV”) and digital video recorders (“DVRs”).

Our residential HSD service competes primarily with local telephone companies, such as AT&T, CenturyLink, Frontier and Verizon. Such companies compete with our HSD product by offering digital subscriber line (“DSL”) services. In our markets, widely-available DSL service is typically limited to downstream speeds ranging from 1.5Mbps to 3Mbps, compared to our downstream speeds ranging from 3 Mbps to 105Mbps. We believe we will continue to increase HSD revenues through future growth in residential HSD customers and customers taking higher speed tiers.

Our residential phone service competes with local telephone companies that offer a product substantially similar to ours, and with cellular phone services offered by national wireless providers. We expect to face pricing pressure for our phone service, which may partially or fully offset greater revenues resulting from continuing growth of residential phone customers.

Certain local telephone companies, including AT&T and Verizon, have deployed fiber-based networks which allow for a triple play bundle that is comparable to ours. As of March 31, 2011, based on internal estimates, approximately 10% of our cable systems actively competed with these local telephone companies.

Our commercial video, HSD and phone services face similar competition to our comparable residential services. Historically, local telephone companies have been in a better position to offer HSD services to businesses, as their networks tend to be more developed in commercial areas. However, we have recently increased our efforts to offer and market a more complete array of products and services suited to businesses, and continue to extend our distribution network further into business districts in the cities and towns we serve. Our enterprise networks business faces competition from local telephone companies and other carriers, such as metro and regional fiber providers. We believe we will continue to increase business services revenues through increasing our commercial HSD, phone and, to a lesser extent, video customer base, and continued growth of our enterprise networks business, including fees for cell tower backhaul.

We face significant competition in our advertising business from a wide range of national, regional and local competitors. We compete for advertising revenues principally against local broadcast stations, national cable and broadcast networks, radio, newspapers, magazines, outdoor display and Internet companies. Advertising revenues are generally sensitive to the political election cycle, and we believe advertising revenues may increase for the full year 2012, as this is an election year.

Recent Developments

New Financing

On February 7, 2012, we issued 7¹/4% senior notes due February 2022 (the “7¹/4% Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $250.0 million (the “financing”). After giving effect to $4.7 million of financing costs, net proceeds of $245.3 million, together with borrowings under our revolving credit commitments, were used to repay the entire outstanding amount under Term Loan D under our bank credit facility (the “credit facility”). See Note 6 in our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Revenues

Video

Video revenues primarily represent monthly subscription fees charged to our residential video customers, which vary according to the level of service and equipment taken, and revenue from the sale of VOD content and pay-per-view events. Video revenues also include installation, reconnection and wire maintenance fees, franchise and late payment fees, and other ancillary revenues.

HSD

HSD revenues primarily represent monthly subscription fees charged to our residential HSD customers, which vary according to the level of HSD service taken.

Phone

Phone revenues primarily represent monthly subscription fees charged to our residential phone customers for our phone service.

Business Services

Business services revenues primarily represent monthly fees charged to our commercial video, HSD and phone customers, which vary according to the level of service taken, and fees charged to large sized businesses for our scalable, fiber-based enterprise networks products and services, which include wireless telephone providers for cell tower backhaul.

Advertising

Advertising revenues primarily represent revenues received from selling advertising time we receive under our programming license agreements to local, regional and national advertisers for the placement of commercials on channels offered on our video services.

Costs and Expenses

Service Costs

Service costs consist of the direct costs related to providing and maintaining services to our customers. Significant service costs include: video programming expenses; HSD service costs, including bandwidth connectivity; phone service costs, including leased circuits and long distance; costs related to our enterprise networks business; employee costs for technical personnel who maintain our cable network, perform customer installation activities and provide customer support; network operations center costs, including employee costs; and field operating costs, including the use of outside contractors, vehicle, utility and pole rental expenses.

Programming costs, which are generally paid on a per video customer basis, have historically represented our single largest expense. In recent years, we have experienced substantial increases in the cost of our programming, which we believe will continue to grow due to the increasing demands of large programmers. Our HSD and phone service costs fluctuate depending on the level of investments we make in our cable systems, and the resulting operational efficiencies. In June 2011, we completed a transition to an internal phone service platform, which greatly reduced our phone service expenses. Our other service costs generally rise as a result of customer growth and inflationary cost increases for personnel, outside vendors and other expenses. Personnel and related support costs may increase as the percentage of expenses that we capitalize declines due to lower levels of new service installations. We anticipate that our service costs, with the exception of programming expenses, will remain fairly consistent as a percentage of our revenues.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Significant selling, general and administrative expenses include: wages and related expenses for our call center, customer service, marketing, business services, support and administrative personnel; franchise fees and other taxes; bad debt expense; billing costs; advertising and marketing expenses; and general office administration costs. These expenses generally rise due to customer growth and inflationary cost increases for personnel, outside vendors and other expenses. We anticipate that our selling, general and administrative expenses will remain fairly consistent as a percentage of our revenues.

Management Fee Expense

Management fee expense reflects compensation paid to MCC for the performance of services it provides our operating subsidiaries in accordance with management agreements between MCC and our operating subsidiaries.

Service costs, selling, general and administrative expenses, and management fee expenses exclude depreciation and amortization, which is presented separately.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

“OIBDA” is not a financial measure calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States. We define OIBDA as operating income before depreciation and amortization. OIBDA has inherent limitations as discussed below.

OIBDA is one of the primary measures used by management to evaluate our performance and to forecast future results. We believe 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 industry. A limitation of 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 uses a separate process to budget, measure and evaluate capital expenditures. In addition, OIBDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies, which may have different depreciation and amortization policies.

OIBDA should not be regarded as an alternative to operating income or net income (loss) as an indicator of operating performance, or to the statement of cash flows as a measure of liquidity, 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 OIBDA.

⁽¹⁾	Represents average total monthly revenues for the period divided by average video customers for such period.

⁽²⁾	Represents average total monthly revenues for the period divided by average PSUs for such period.

Revenues increased 1.4%, primarily due to greater HSD and, to a lesser extent, business services revenues, offset in part by lower video revenues. Average total monthly revenue per video customer increased 13.3% to $119.49, and average total monthly revenue per PSU increased 5.6% to $54.96.

Video revenues declined 5.1%, as lower revenues resulting from video customer losses were partly offset by higher unit pricing. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, we lost 5,000 video customers, compared to a loss of 9,000 in the prior year period. As of March 31, 2012, we served 468,000 video customers, or 36.1% of our estimated homes passed. As of the same date, 64.7% of our video customers were digital customers, and 49.2% of our digital customers were taking our DVR and/or HDTV services.

HSD revenues grew 11.2%, largely a result of higher unit pricing and, to a lesser extent, an increased HSD customer base. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, we gained 15,000 HSD customers, compared to an increase of 7,000 in the prior year period. As of March 31, 2012, we served 398,000 HSD customers, or 30.7% of our estimated homes passed.

Phone revenues were 2.7% higher, as a larger phone customer base was offset in part by lower unit pricing. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, we gained 6,000 phone customers, compared to an increase of 1,000 in the prior year period. As of March 31, 2012, we served 165,000 phone customers, or 12.7% of our estimated homes passed.

Business services revenues grew 15.8%, primarily due to an increase in commercial HSD and phone customers, and greater revenues from our enterprise networks business.

Advertising revenues rose 13.0%, principally due to increased levels of local and national political advertising.

Costs and Expenses

Service costs decreased 3.7%, primarily due to lower phone service expenses and, to a much lesser extent, decreased programming costs, offset in part by greater field operating costs. Phone service costs fell 46.4%, substantially due to cost savings resulting from our transition from a third-party provider to an internal phone service platform. Programming costs decreased 1.9%, principally due to a lower number of video customers, mostly offset by greater retransmission consent fees and higher contractual rates charged by our programming vendors. Field operating costs grew 9.5%, largely as a result of unfavorable insurance adjustments and, to a lesser extent, a greater use of outside contractors. Service costs as a percentage of revenues were 43.7% and 46.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 0.3%, mainly due to higher marketing costs, mostly offset by decreases in other employee expenses, bad debt and taxes and fees. Marketing costs grew 17.3%, primarily due to higher employee compensation resulting from increased business services marketing staffing levels, and greater spending on direct mail marketing and market research. Other employee expenses declined 7.6%, largely a result of favorable insurance adjustments and greater capitalization of overhead costs. Bad debt fell 9.5%, primarily due to increased debt recoveries and, to a lesser extent, a lower number of written off accounts. Taxes and fees decreased 4.9%, mainly due to a decline in franchise fees and property taxes. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues were 16.4% and 16.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Management fee expense was 12.3% higher, reflecting greater overhead charges costs charged by MCC. Management fee expense as a percentage of revenues was 2.1% and 1.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Depreciation and amortization decreased 0.8%, largely a result of the depreciation of shorter-lived customer premise equipment and certain investments related to our internal phone service platform, mostly offset by certain assets becoming fully depreciated.

OIBDA

OIBDA grew 8.0%, mainly due to the decline in service costs and higher revenues.

Operating Income

Operating income rose 16.7%, principally due to the growth in OIBDA.

Interest Expense, Net

Interest expense, net, decreased 2.9%, substantially due to lower average outstanding indebtedness.

Gain on Derivatives, Net

As of March 31, 2012, we had interest rate exchange agreements (which we refer to as “interest rate swaps”) with an aggregate notional amount of $1.3 billion, of which $600 million are forward-starting interest rate swaps. These interest rate swaps have not been designated as hedges for accounting purposes, and the changes in their mark-to-market values are derived primarily from changes in market interest rates and the decrease in their time to maturity. As a result of changes to the mark-to-market valuation of these interest rate swaps, based upon information provided by our counterparties, we recorded a net gain on derivatives of $1.6 million and $7.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt

Loss on early extinguishment of debt totaled $6.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. This amount represents the write-off of deferred financing costs as a result of the repayment of certain term loans.

Investment Income from Affiliate

Investment income from affiliate was $4.5 million for each of the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011. This amount represents the investment income on our $150.0 million preferred equity investment in Mediacom Broadband. See Note 8 in our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Other Expense, Net

Other expense, net, was $0.5 million and $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, other expense, net, consisted of $0.3 million of revolving credit commitment fees and $0.2 million of other fees. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, other expense, net, consisted of $0.5 million of revolving credit commitment fees and $0.1 million of other fees.

Net Income

As a result of the factors described above, we recognized net income of $9.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, compared to $16.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

Our net cash flows provided by operating activities are primarily used to fund investments in the capacity and reliability of our network and the further expansion of our products and services, as well as scheduled repayments of our indebtedness and periodic contributions to MCC. Our liquidity requirements in the foreseeable future include scheduled term loan amortization of $6.8 million during the remainder of 2012 and $9.0 million in each of the years ending December 31, 2013 and 2014, and $118.5 million of outstanding loans under our revolving credit facility, which is scheduled to expire on December 31, 2014.

As of March 31, 2012, our sources of liquidity included $8.2 million of cash on hand and $97.2 million of unused and available lines under our revolving credit facility. We believe that cash generated by or available to us will meet our anticipated capital and liquidity needs for the foreseeable future.

In the longer term, specifically 2015 and beyond, we do not expect to generate sufficient net cash flows from operations to fund our maturing term loans and senior notes. If we are unable to obtain sufficient future financing on similar terms as we currently experience, or at all, we may need to take other actions to conserve or raise capital that we would not take otherwise. However, we have accessed the debt markets for significant amounts of capital in the past, and expect to continue to be able to access these markets in the future as necessary.

Net Cash Flows Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash flows provided by operating activities were $28.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, primarily due to OIBDA of $63.9 million, offset in part by interest expense of $24.3 million and, to a lesser extent, the $15.7 million net change in our operating assets and liabilities. The net change in our operating assets and liabilities was primarily due to a decrease in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities of $14.1 million and an increase in prepaid expenses and other assets of $11.4 million, offset in part by a decrease in accounts receivable, net, of $9.5 million.

Net cash flows provided by operating activities were $48.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, primarily due to OIBDA of $59.1 million and, to a lesser extent, the $9.2 million net change in our operating assets and liabilities, offset in part by interest expense of $25.0 million. The net change in our operating assets and liabilities was substantially due to an increase in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities of $11.4 million and, to a much lesser extent, a decrease in accounts receivable, net, of $1.0 million, offset in part by an increase in prepaid expenses and other assets of $3.7 million.

Net Cash Flows Used in Investing Activities

Capital expenditures continue to be our primary use of capital resources and the majority of our net cash flows used in investing activities. Net cash flows used in investing activities were $24.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, compared to $11.2 million in the prior year period. The $13.2 million increase in net cash flows used in investing activities was primarily due to a $8.9 million redemption of restricted cash and cash equivalents in the prior year period and, to a lesser extent, a $3.9 million net change in accrued plant, property and equipment and a $0.4 million increase in capital expenditures. The growth in capital expenditures largely reflects increases in capital labor resulting from greater connect activity, mostly offset by reduced outlays for investments in our phone service and HSD platforms.

Net Cash Flows Used in Financing Activities

Net cash flows used in financing activities were $8.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, principally due to net repayments of $253.0 million under the credit facility and, to a much lesser extent, financing costs of $4.7 million, mostly offset by the $250.0 million issuance of new senior notes. See “New Financing.”

Net cash flows used in financing activities were $50.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, primarily due to capital distributions to MCC of $136.5 million, which were mainly funded by net borrowings of $86.5 million under the credit facility. The capital distributions to MCC included a distribution to partially fund the Going Private Transaction. See Note 7 in our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Capital Structure

As of March 31, 2012, our total indebtedness was $1.580 billion, of which approximately 60% was at fixed interest rates or subject to interest rate protection. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, we paid cash interest of $28.7 million, net of capitalized interest.

Bank Credit Facility

As of March 31, 2012, we maintained a $1.087 billion credit facility (the “credit facility”), comprising $861.5 million of term loans with maturities ranging from January 2015 to October 2017, and a $225.2 million revolving credit facility, which is scheduled to expire on December 31, 2014. As of the same date, we had $97.2 million of unused lines under the revolver, all of which were available to be borrowed and used for general corporate purposes, after giving effect to $118.5 million of outstanding loans and $9.5 million of letters of credit issued to various parties as collateral.

Interest Rate Exchange Agreements

We use interest exchange agreements (which we refer to as “interest rate swaps”) in order to fix the variable portion of debt under the credit facility to reduce the potential volatility in our interest expense that would otherwise result from changes in market interest rates. As of March 31, 2012, we had interest rate swaps with various banks pursuant to which the rate on $700 million of floating rate debt was fixed at a weighted average rate of 3.0%. As of the same date, we also had $600 million of forward starting interest rate swaps with a weighted average fixed rate of approximately 2.9%.

Including the effects of these interest rate swaps, the average interest rates on outstanding debt under the credit facility as of March 31, 2012 and 2011 were 4.6% and 5.3%, respectively.

Senior Notes

As of March 31, 2012, we had $600.0 million of outstanding senior notes, of which $350.0 million and $250.0 million mature in August 2019 and February 2022, respectively. Our senior notes are unsecured obligations, and the indenture governing our senior notes limits the incurrence of additional indebtedness based upon a maximum debt to operating cash flow ratio (as defined) of 8.5 to 1.0.

New Financing

On February 7, 2012, we issued 7¹/4% senior notes due February 2022 (the “7¹/4% Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $250.0 million. After giving effect to $4.7 million of financing costs, net proceeds of $245.3 million, together with borrowings under our revolving credit commitments, were used to repay the entire outstanding amount under Term Loan D of the credit facility. See Note 6 in our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Covenant Compliance and Debt Ratings

For all periods through March 31, 2012, we were in compliance with all of the covenants under the credit facility and senior note arrangements. We do not believe that we will have any difficulty complying with any of the applicable covenants in the near future.

Our future access to the debt markets and the terms and conditions we receive are influenced by our debt ratings. MCC’s corporate credit rating is B1, with a stable outlook, by Moody’s, and B+, with a stable outlook, by Standard and Poor’s. Our senior unsecured credit rating is B3 by Moody’s, with a stable outlook, and B-, with a stable outlook, by Standard and Poor’s. We cannot assure you that Moody’s and Standard and Poor’s will maintain their ratings on MCC and us. A negative change to these credit ratings could result in higher interest rates on future debt issuance than we currently experience, or adversely impact our ability to raise additional funds.

Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments

Other than the items noted above in “New Financing,” 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, 2011.

The following table updates our contractual obligations and commercial commitments for debt and interest expense, and the effects they are expected to have on our liquidity and cash flow, for the five years subsequent to December 31, 2011 and thereafter (dollars in thousands)*:


	Debt		Interest Expense (1) (2)		Total
2012		9,000		85,168		94,168
2013-2014		141,975		169,752		311,727
2015-2016		603,000		109,712		712,712
Thereafter		833,750		165,461		999,211

Total cash obligations		1,587,725		530,093		2,117,818

*	Refer to Note 6 of our consolidated financial statements for a discussion of our long-term debt.

⁽¹⁾	The amounts give effect to the Refinancing Transactions completed in February 2012.

⁽²⁾	Interest payments on floating rate debt and interest rate swaps are estimated using amounts outstanding as of December 31, 2011 and the average interest rates applicable under such debt obligations. Interest expense amounts are net of amounts capitalized.

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, 2011.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

In accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standards Codification No. 350 Intangibles — Goodwill and Other (“ASC 350”), 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 rights and goodwill are indefinite-lived assets and therefore not amortizable.

In accordance with Accounting Standards Update 2010-28 (“ASU 2010-28”) — When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force), we have evaluated the qualitative factors surrounding our Mediacom LLC reporting unit with its negative equity carrying value. We do not believe that it is “more likely than not” that a goodwill impairment exists. As such, we have not performed Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test.

Inflation and Changing Prices

Our costs and expenses are subject to inflation and price fluctuations. Such changes in costs and expenses can generally be passed through to customers. Programming costs have historically increased at rates in excess of inflation and are expected to continue to do so. We believe that under the Federal Communications Commission’s existing cable rate regulations we may increase rates for cable television services to more than cover any increases in programming. However, competitive conditions and other factors in the marketplace may limit our ability to increase our rates.
