ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003 and with the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003.

Overview

     We are a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mediacom Communications Corporation. As of March 31, 2004, our cable systems passed approximately 1.3 million homes and served approximately 722,000 basic subscribers in 22 states. Since commencement of our operations in March 1996, we have experienced significant growth by deploying a disciplined strategy of acquiring underperforming cable systems and improving their operating and financial performance. Many of our cable systems are located in markets that are contiguous with, or in close proximity to, cable systems owned and operated by Mediacom Broadband LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of our manager.

     In 2003, we completed our network upgrade program that significantly increased bandwidth and enabled interactivity. As of March 31, 2004, approximately 98% of our cable network was upgraded with 550MHz to 870MHz bandwidth capacity and about 96% of our homes passed were activated with two-way communications capability. Expressed in megahertz (MHz), bandwidth represents a system’s capacity to deliver telecommunication services.

     Our upgraded network allows us to introduce additional programming and other products and services such as digital video, video-on-demand, high-definition television and high-speed Internet access. We currently provide digital video services to approximately 148,000 subscribers, representing a penetration of approximately 20.5% of our basic subscribers. We also currently provide high speed Internet services to approximately 133,000 subscribers, representing a penetration of approximately 10.0% of our homes passed. Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2004, we plan to launch in certain of our markets Internet protocol telephony service, which is sometimes referred to as Voice-over-Internet-Protocol, or VoIP telephony. VoIP telephony will allow us to offer an attractive triple-play bundle of video, data and voice products and services. Bundled products and services offer our subscribers key benefits such as a single provider contact for provisioning, billing and customer care.

     We face increasing competition for our video programming services, most notably from direct broadcast satellite service, or DBS service providers. In the first quarter of 2004, competitive pressure from DBS service providers intensified when they launched local television channels in additional markets representing an estimated 31% of our basic subscriber base. Since they have been permitted to deliver local television broadcast signals beginning in 1999, DIRECTV, Inc. and Echostar Communications Corporation, the two largest DBS service providers, have been increasing the number of markets in which they deliver these local television signals. These “local-into-local” launches were usually accompanied by heavy marketing and advertising and were the primary cause of our loss of basic subscribers in recent periods including the first quarter of 2004. As of March 31, 2004, competitive local-into-local services in our markets covered an estimated 79% of our basic subscribers.

     Use of Operating Income Before Depreciation and Amortization

     Operating income before depreciation and amortization, or OIBDA, is not a financial measure calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States. However, 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 method 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. A limitation of this measure, 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.

     OIBDA should not be regarded as an alternative to operating income or net 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 OIBDA. The following table sets forth the reconciliation of OIBDA to operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003 (dollars in thousands and unaudited):

     Video revenues represent monthly subscription fees charged to customers for our core cable television products and services (including basic, expanded basic and analog premium programming, digital cable television programming services, wire maintenance, equipment rental and services to commercial establishments), pay-per-view charges, installation and reconnection fees, late payment fees, and other ancillary revenues. Data revenues primarily represent monthly subscription fees charged to customers for our data products and services and equipment rental fees. Franchise fees charged to customers for payment to local franchising authorities are included in their corresponding revenue category.

     Revenues rose 8.9%, largely attributable to an increase in high-speed data customers and basic rate increases applied on our video customers, driven in large part by our own video programming cost increases.

     Video revenues increased 2.9% as a result of the aforementioned basic rate increases and a 6.5% increase in digital customers, from 139,000 to 148,000, partially offset by a 3.7% decline in basic subscribers from 750,000 to 722,000. Our loss in basic subscribers resulted primarily from increased competitive pressures by DBS service providers, particularly in those markets where we experienced their “local-into-local” launches, and to a lesser extent from our tighter customer credit policies. To reverse this video customer trend, we are increasing our customer retention efforts and our emphasis on bundling, enhancing and differentiating our video products and services with new digital service packages, video-on-demand, high-definition television, digital video recorders and more local programming.

     Data revenues rose 55.0%, due primarily to an increase in data customers from 92,000 to 133,000, as well as a gain in average monthly data revenue per data subscriber from $39.69 to $41.54. We expect this customer trend in our data business to continue given anticipated demand for our high-speed data service.

     Advertising revenues increased 84.9%, primarily as a result of bringing in-house certain markets previously managed by third parties. Instead of receiving advertising revenues net of commissions paid to third parties, we now record the full revenues from these markets with the related expenses, including in-house commissions, recorded as selling, general and administrative expenses.

     Costs and Expenses

     Service costs include: fees paid to programming suppliers; expenses related to wages and salaries of technical personnel, who maintain our cable network and perform customer installation activities; high-speed Internet access costs, including costs of bandwidth connectivity, customer provisioning and technical support for our customers; and plant operating costs, such as utilities and pole rental expense. Programming costs, which are payments to programmers for content and are generally paid on a per subscriber basis, have historically increased due to both increases in the rates charged for existing programming services and the introduction of new programming services to our basic subscribers.

     Service costs increased 13.4% over the prior year. Of this increase, 42.9% was due to higher programming costs related to the expansion of our service offerings and price increases, 24.9% was due to servicing the growth in our data customers, 18.4% was due to increased employee headcount and compensation, and 8.1% was due to increased vehicle and other operating costs related to servicing our customers. The balance was due to greater expensing of labor and

Table of Contents

overhead costs resulting from the transition from upgrade construction to maintenance activities. The increase in programming costs, however, was partially offset by a decline in basic subscribers and analog premium units. We expect programming costs on a per unit basis to continue to rise in 2004, primarily due to price increases reflecting both inflation-indexed and negotiated license fee increases. As a percentage of revenues, service costs were 39.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 37.4% for the same period of the prior year.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses include: wages and salaries for our call center, customer service and support and administrative personnel; franchise fees and taxes; and expenses related to billing, telecommunications, marketing, bad debt, advertising and office administration.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 8.1%. Of this increase, 37.5% was due to higher advertising expense as we now record in-house advertising costs that were previously managed by third parties as discussed above, 21.1% was due to an increase in telephone costs, 13.7% was due to greater expensing of labor and overhead costs resulting from the transition from upgrade construction to maintenance activities, and 11.8% was due to an increase in support personnel. As a percentage of revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses were 17.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2004, as compared with 17.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2003. We expect the rate of increase in expenses relating to our advertising sales to moderate as the migration of the work in-house is completed. We expect continued growth in advanced services, which include digital cable and high-speed Internet access and, in late 2004, the launch of VoIP telephony service. As a result, we expect our service costs and selling, general and administrative expenses to increase.

     Management fee expense reflects charges incurred under our management agreements with our parent, Mediacom Communications Corporation (“MCC”). Management fee expense increased 32.6% to $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004, as compared to $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003. The increase was due to greater overhead costs charged by MCC during the three month period ended March 31, 2004. As a percentage of revenues, management fee expense was 1.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2004, as compared with 1.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2003.

     Depreciation and amortization decreased 47.0% to $26.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004, as compared to $49.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003. The decrease was primarily due to changes, effective July 1, 2003, in the estimated useful lives of our cable systems and equipment in conjunction with the completion of our network upgrade and rebuild program. These changes reduced depreciation by $20.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004. This decrease was offset in part by increased depreciation for investments in our cable network and ongoing investments to continue the rollout of products and services such as video-on-demand, high-definition television and high-speed Internet access. See Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements.

     Interest Expense, Net

     Interest expense, net, decreased 8.5% to $23.9 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2004, as compared to $26.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003. This was primarily due to lower market interest rates on our variable rate debt for the three months ended March 31, 2004.

     (Loss) gain on derivative instruments, 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 in order to reduce the potential volatility in our interest expense that would otherwise result from changes in market interest rates. As of March 31, 2004 we had interest rate swaps with an aggregate principal amount of $300.0 million. These interest rate swaps are accounted for as fair value hedges of debt instruments as prescribed by SFAS No. 133. The changes in their mark-to-market values are derived from changes in market interest rates, the decrease in their time to maturity and the creditworthiness of the counterparties. Principally as a result of a downward change during the quarter in market interest rates that are used to fair value our interest swaps, loss on derivative instruments, net, was $3.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004, as compared to a gain on derivative instruments, net of $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003.

     Other expense

     Other expense was $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and $1.0 for the three months ended March 31, 2003. Other expense primarily represents amortization of deferred financing costs and fees on unused credit commitments.

Table of Contents

     Net loss

     Due to the factors described above, we generated a net loss of $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004, as compared to a net loss of $24.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003.

     Operating Income Before Depreciation and Amortization

     OIBDA increased 4.4% to $49.5 million due to an 8.9% increase in revenues, partially offset by a 13.4% increase in service costs and 8.1% increase in selling, general and administrative expenses. OIBDA, expressed as a percentage of revenues, was 41.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2004, as compared to 43.4% for the year-ago period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     As an integral part of our business plan, we have significantly invested, and will continue to invest, additional capital in our cable network to enhance its reliability and capacity, which will allow for the introduction of new advanced broadband services. We also will continue to pursue a business strategy that includes selective acquisitions. We expect to fund our capital requirements through a combination of internally generated funds, and amounts available under our bank credit facilities.

     Operating Activities

     Net cash flows provided by operating activities were $28.1 million and $14.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The change in net operating cash flows was primarily due to a reduction in net loss, and to a lesser extent, a reduction in the use of cash for certain working capital accounts, principally prepaid expenses and other non-current liabilities for the three months ended March 31, 2004.

     Investing Activities

     Net cash flows used in investing activities were $24.5 million and $27.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The change in net investing cash flows resulted primarily from a reduction in capital expenditures for the three month period ended March 31, 2004, due to the completion of our planned network upgrade and rebuild program.

     Our capital expenditures were $21.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004, as compared to $27.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003. We expect prospective capital expenditures to consist primarily of the costs of new advanced service installations and equipment, new plant construction and network replacement.

     We have a $150.0 million preferred equity investment in Mediacom Broadband LLC. The preferred equity investment has a 12% annual cash dividend, payable quarterly in cash. For the three months ended March 31, 2004, we received in aggregate $4.5 million of cash dividends on the preferred equity.

     Financing Activities

     For the three months ended March 31, 2004, net cash flows used in financing activities were $11.0 million, as compared to net cash flows provided by financing activities of $2.8 million for the same period of the prior year. The use of net cash flows in the first quarter of 2004 was due principally to the above-mentioned increase in net cash flows provided by operating activities and the significant reduction of capital expenditures, which allowed us to make net repayments of debt, as compared to our net borrowings in the comparable 2003 quarter, which funded capital expenditures in that period.

     We have two bank credit facilities in the aggregate amount of $995.5 million. These bank credit facilities expire in September 2008 and December 2008, however, their final maturities are subject to earlier repayment on dates ranging from June 2007 to December 2007 if we do not refinance our $200.0 million 81/2% senior notes due April 2008 prior to March 31, 2007.

Table of Contents

     We have entered into interest rate exchange agreements with counterparties, which expire from September 2006 through March 2007, to hedge $300.0 million of floating rate debt. Under the terms of all of our interest rate exchange agreements, we are exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other parties of the agreements. However, due to the high creditworthiness of our counterparties, which are major banking firms rated investment grade or better, we do not anticipate their nonperformance. As of March 31, 2004, about 74% of our outstanding indebtedness was at fixed interest rates or subject to interest rate protection.

     As of March 31, 2004, our total debt was approximately $1.51 billion, we had unused credit commitments of about $303.8 million under our bank credit facilities and our annualized cost of debt capital was approximately 6.5%. On such date, approximately $291.8 million could be borrowed and used for general corporate purposes based on the terms and conditions of our debt arrangements. As of March 31, 2004, we were in compliance with all covenants under our debt arrangements.

     As of March 31, 2004, approximately $6.2 million of letters of credit were issued to various parties to secure our performance relating to insurance and franchise requirements.

     Although we have not generated earnings sufficient to cover fixed charges, we have generated cash and obtained financing sufficient to meet our short-term requirements, including our debt service, working capital and capital expenditures. We expect that we will continue to be able to generate funds and obtain financing sufficient to service our long-term business plan, service our debt obligations and complete any future acquisitions. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain sufficient financing, or, if we were able to do so, that the terms would be favorable to us.

Critical Accounting Policies

     The foregoing discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Periodically we evaluate our estimates, including those related to doubtful accounts, long-lived assets, capitalized costs and accruals. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

     We believe the following represent the most significant and subjective estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements:

     Property, Plant and Equipment

     In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 51, “Financial Reporting by Cable Television Companies,” we capitalized a portion of direct and indirect costs related to the construction, replacement and installation of property, plant and equipment. Capitalized costs are recorded as additions to property, plant and equipment and depreciated over the life of the related assets. We perform periodic evaluations of the estimates used to determine the amount of costs that are capitalized. Any changes to these estimates, which may be significant, are applied in the period in which the evaluations were completed.

     Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

     In accordance with SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, the amortization of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets is prohibited and requires such assets to be tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if impairment indicators arise. We have determined that our cable franchise costs are indefinite-lived assets. Our annual impairment tests, performed as of March 31, 2004, determined that there was no impairment of goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets. There have been no events since then that would require an analysis to be completed before the annual test date.

Table of Contents

Inflation and Changing Prices

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