NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

(1) Organization

     Mediacom LLC (“Mediacom,” and collectively with its subsidiaries, the “Company”), 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.

     Mediacom relies on its parent, MCC, for various services such as corporate and administrative support. The financial position, results of operations and cash flows of Mediacom could differ from those that would have resulted had Mediacom operated autonomously or as an entity independent of MCC.

     Mediacom Capital Corporation (“Mediacom Capital”), a New York corporation wholly-owned by Mediacom, co-issued, jointly and severally with Mediacom, public debt securities. Mediacom Capital has no operations, revenues or cash flows, and has no assets, liabilities or stockholders’ equity on its consolidated balance sheets other than a one-hundred dollar receivable from an affiliate and the same dollar amount of common stock. Therefore, separate financial statements have not been presented for this entity.

(2) Statement of Accounting Presentation and Other Information

  Basis of Preparation of Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

     Mediacom has prepared these unaudited consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2005 and 2004. In the opinion of management, such statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial position for the interim periods presented. The accounting policies followed during such interim periods reported are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and are consistent with those applied during annual periods. For additional disclosures, including a summary of the Company’s accounting policies, the interim unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 (File Nos. 333-57285-01 and 333-57285). The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that might be expected for future interim periods or for the full year ending December 31, 2005.

  Revenue Recognition

     Revenues include amounts billed to customers for services provided, installations, advertising and other services. Revenues from video and data services are recognized when the services are provided to the customers. Installation revenues are less than direct installation costs. Therefore, installation revenues are recognized as connects are completed. Advertising sales are recognized in the period that the advertisements are exhibited. Franchise fees are collected on a monthly basis and are periodically remitted to local franchise authorities. Franchise fees collected and paid are reported as revenues and expenses as a component of selling, general and administrative.

  Programming Costs

     The Company has various fixed-term carriage contracts to obtain programming for its cable systems from content suppliers whose compensation is generally based on a fixed monthly fee per customer. These programming contracts are subject to negotiated renewal. The Company recognizes programming costs when it distributes the related programming. These programming costs are usually payable each month based on calculations performed by the Company and are subject to adjustments based on the results of periodic audits by the content suppliers. Historically, such audit adjustments have been immaterial to the Company’s total programming costs. Some content suppliers offer financial incentives to support the launch of a channel and ongoing marketing support. When such financial incentives are received, the Company defers them within non-current liabilities and recognizes such amounts as a reduction of programming costs (which are a component of service costs in the consolidated statement of operations) over the carriage term of the programming contract.

  Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

     The allowance for doubtful accounts represents the Company’s best estimate of probable losses in the accounts receivable balance. The allowance is based on the number of days outstanding, customer balances, historical experience and other currently available information.

  Property, Plant and Equipment

     Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Additions to property, plant and equipment generally include material, labor and indirect costs. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the following useful lives:

     
Buildings
  40 years
Leasehold improvements
  Life of respective lease
Cable systems and equipments and subscriber devices
  4 to 20 years
Vehicles
  5 years
Furniture, fixtures and office equipment
  5 years

     The Company capitalizes improvements that extend asset lives and expenses repairs and maintenance as incurred. At the time of retirements, sales or other dispositions of property, the original cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and the gains and losses are presented as a separate component on the statement of operations.

     The Company capitalizes the costs associated with the construction of cable transmission and distribution facilities, the addition of network and other equipment and new customer installations. Costs include direct labor and material, as well as certain indirect costs including interest. The Company performs periodic evaluations of certain estimates used to determine the amount and extent such costs are capitalized. Any changes to these estimates, which may be significant, are applied prospectively in the period in which the evaluations were completed. The costs of disconnecting service at a customer’s dwelling or reconnecting to a previously installed dwelling are charged as expense in the period incurred. Costs associated with subsequent installations of additional services not previously installed at a customer’s dwelling are capitalized to the extent such costs are incremental and directly attributable to the installation of such additional services.

  Long-Lived Assets

     In accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” the Company periodically evaluates the recoverability and estimated lives of its long-lived assets, including property and equipment and intangible assets subject to amortization, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable or the useful life has changed. When the carrying amount is not recoverable, the measurement for such impairment loss is based on the fair value of the asset, typically based upon the future cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk involved. Unless presented separately, the loss is included as a component of either depreciation expense or amortization expense, as appropriate.

  Intangible Assets

     In accordance with FASB No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” the amortization of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets is prohibited and requires such assets to be tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if impairment indicators arise. The Company has determined that its cable franchise costs and goodwill are indefinite-lived assets and therefore not amortizable. Other finite-lived intangible assets, which consist primarily of subscriber lists and covenants not to compete, continue to be amortized over their useful lives of 5 to 10 years and 5 years, respectively.

  Derivative Instruments

     The Company accounts for derivative instruments in accordance with SFAS No. 133, SFAS No. 138 and SFAS No. 149. These pronouncements require that all derivative instruments be recognized on the balance sheet at fair value. The Company’s stated strategy is to manage its interest expense using a combination of fixed and variable interest rate debt. The Company enters into interest rate exchange agreements to fix the interest rate on a portion of its variable interest rate debt to reduce the potential volatility in its interest expense that would otherwise result from changes in market interest rates. The Company’s derivative instruments are recorded at fair value and are included in other current assets, other assets and other liabilities. The Company’s accounting policies for these instruments are based on whether they meet the Company’s criteria for designation as hedging transactions. The criteria for designating a derivative as a hedge include the instrument’s effectiveness in risk reduction and, in most cases, a one-to-one matching of the derivative instrument to its underlying transaction. Gains and losses from changes in fair values of derivatives that are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes are recognized currently in earnings. The Company had no derivative financial instruments designated as hedges. Therefore, changes in fair value for the respective periods were recognized in earnings.

  Income Taxes

     Since the Company is a limited liability company, it is not subject to federal or state income taxes and no provision for income taxes relating to its operations has been reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Income or loss of the Company is reported in MCC’s income tax returns.

  Comprehensive Income

     SFAS No.130,“Reporting Comprehensive Income,” requires companies to classify items of other comprehensive income by their nature in the financial statements and display the accumulated balance of other comprehensive income separately from retained earnings and paid-in capital in the equity section of a statement of financial position. The Company has had no other comprehensive income items to report.

  Reclassifications

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

(3) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

     In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R, “Amendment of Statement 123 on Share-Based Payment.” SFAS No. 123R requires companies to expense the value of employee stock options, stock granted through the employee stock purchase program and similar awards. On April 14, 2005, the SEC approved a new rule delaying the effective date until the beginning of a company’s next fiscal year that commences after June 15, 2005. The Company plans on adopting SFAS No. 123R effective January 1, 2006 and expects that the adoption of SFAS No. 123R will have a material impact on its consolidated results of operations.

(4) Property, Plant and Equipment

     As of March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, property, plant and equipment consisted of (dollars in thousands):

                 
    March 31,     December 31,  
    2005     2004  
Land and land improvements
  $ 1,468     $ 1,428  
Buildings and leasehold improvements
    16,313       15,606  
Cable systems, equipment and subscriber devices
    1,387,419       1,365,701  
Vehicles
    28,371       28,347  
Furniture, fixtures and office equipment
    15,968       15,329  
 
           
 
    1,449,539       1,426,411  
Accumulated depreciation
    (751,121 )     (728,048 )
 
           
Property, plant and equipment, net
  $ 698,418     $ 698,363  
 
           

     Depreciation expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 were approximately $23.9 million and $24.1 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company had property under capitalized leases of $4.7 million and $5.6 million, respectively, before accumulated depreciation, and $3.5 million and $4.3 million, respectively, net of accumulated depreciation. During the quarters ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company incurred interest expense, net of interest income, of $26.1 million and $24.3 million, respectively, of which $0.4 million was capitalized for each period.

(5) Intangible Assets

     The Company operates its cable systems under non-exclusive cable franchises that are granted by state or local government authorities for varying lengths of time. The Company acquired these cable franchises through acquisitions of cable systems and they were accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.

     On January 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” which eliminates amortization of goodwill and certain intangibles that have indefinite lives but requires that such assets be tested for impairment at least annually. The Company evaluated the expected useful life of its cable franchises, also referred to as franchise costs, upon adoption of SFAS No. 142 and determined that all of its cable franchises have an indefinite useful life. As such, the Company ceased amortizing its cable franchises effective January 1, 2002.

     The Company has assessed franchise value for impairment under SFAS No. 142 by utilizing a discounted cash flow methodology. In performing an impairment test in accordance with SFAS No. 142, the Company considers the guidance contained in EITF Issue No. 02-7, “Recognition of Customer Relationship Intangible Assets acquired in a Business Combination,” whereby the Company considers assumptions, such as future cash flow expectations and other future benefits related to the intangible assets, when measuring the fair value of each cable systems other net assets. If the determined fair value of the Company’s franchise costs is less than the carrying amount on the financial

(Unaudited)

statements, an impairment charge would be recognized for the difference between the fair value and the carrying value of the assets. To test the impairment of the goodwill carried on the Company’s financial statements, the fair value of the cable system cluster’s tangible and intangible assets (includes franchise costs) other than goodwill is deducted from the cable system cluster’s fair value. The balance represents the fair value of goodwill which is then compared to the carrying value of goodwill to determine if there is any impairment. The Company completed its last impairment test in accordance with SFAS No. 142 as of October 1, 2004, which reflected no impairment of franchise costs or goodwill. As of March 31, 2005, there were no events since then that would require an impairment analysis to be completed before the next annual test date.

     The following table summarizes the net asset value for each intangible asset category as of March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004 (dollars in thousands):

                         
    Gross Asset     Accumulated     Net Asset

(7) Debt

     As of March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, debt consisted of (dollars in thousands):

                 
    March 31,     December 31,  
    2005     2004  
Bank credit facilities
  $ 748,625     $ 646,000  
81/2% senior notes
    200,000       200,000  
77/8% senior notes
    125,000       125,000  
91/2% senior notes
    500,000       500,000  
Capital lease obligations
    1,959       2,177  
 
           
 
  $ 1,575,584     $ 1,473,177  
Less: current portion
    6,391       6,384  
 
           
Total long-term debt
  $ 1,569,193     $ 1,466,793  
 
           

     The average interest rates on debt outstanding under the bank credit facilities were 4.7% and 2.5% as of March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, before giving effect to the interest rate exchange agreements discussed below. In January 2005, the Company borrowed the full amount under a $200.0 million delayed-draw term loan facility and used the proceeds to reduce outstandings under the Company’s revolving credit facility and to loan $88.0 million to Mediacom Broadband LLC, a Delaware limited liability company wholly-owned by MCC, in the form of a demand note. As of March 31, 2005, the Company had unused credit commitments of approximately $390.6 million under its bank credit facilities, all of which could be borrowed and used for general corporate purposes based on the terms and conditions of the Company’s debt arrangements. The Company was in compliance with all covenants under its debt arrangements as of and for all periods through March 31, 2005.

     The Company uses interest rate exchange agreements in order to fix the interest rate on its floating rate debt. As of March 31, 2005, the Company had interest rate exchange agreements with various banks pursuant to which the interest rate on $300.0 million is fixed at a weighted average rate of approximately 3.0%. Under the terms of the interest rate exchange agreements, which expire from 2006 through 2007, the Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other parties. However, due to the creditworthiness of the Company’s counterparties, which are major banking firms with investment grade ratings, the Company does not anticipate their nonperformance. At the end of each quarterly reporting period, the carrying values of these swap agreements are marked to market. The fair values of these agreements is the estimated amount that the Company would receive or pay to terminate such agreements, taken into account market interest rates, the remaining time to maturities and the creditworthiness of the Company’s counterparties. At March 31, 2005, based on the mark-to-market valuation, the Company recorded on its consolidated balance sheet an accumulated investment in derivatives of $4.7 million, which is a component of other assets.

     As a result of the mark-to-market valuations of these interest rate swaps, the Company recorded a gain of $3.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005, as compared to a loss of $3.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004.

     At the Company’s request, on March 16, 2005, the registered holders of the Company’s 81/2% Senior Notes (the “Notes”) were notified that the Company had elected to redeem all of the Notes outstanding. As of March 16, 2005 the aggregate principal amount of the Notes outstanding was $200.0 million.

     As of March 31, 2005, approximately $9.4 million letters of credit were issued to various parties as collateral for our performance relating primarily to insurance and franchise requirements.

(8) Stock-Based Compensation

     The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations, as permitted by SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” (“SFAS No. 123”) as amended. Compensation expense for stock options, restricted stock units and other equity awards to employees is recorded by measuring the intrinsic value, defined as the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the stock at the date of the grant over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock, and amortizing the intrinsic value to compensation expense over the vesting period of the award.

     During the quarter ended March 31, 2005, certain employees received grants of stock options and restricted stock units exercisable on underlying MCC shares. The stock option grants totaled 18,000 options which had an exercise price of $5.42 and vest equally over four years. The restricted stock units were granted in two tranches. The first tranche was a grant of 25,800 restricted stock units at a grant price of $5.69 and vests equally over four years. The second tranche was a grant of 75,000 restricted stock units at a grant price of $5.42 with a cliff vest at the end of four years.

     No compensation cost has been recognized for any option grants in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations since the price of the options was at their fair market value at the date of grant. As of March 31, 2005, the Company has recorded approximately $0.6 million of intrinsic value related to the restricted stock unit awards as deferred compensation and paid-in capital in its consolidated balance sheets, and during the three months ended March 31, 2005, the Company amortized $14,000 of deferred compensation as compensation expense in its consolidated statements of operations.

     Had the Company applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 to stock-based compensation, the Company’s net income (loss) would have been changed from the “as reported” amounts to the “pro forma” amounts as follows (dollars in thousands):

                 
    Three Months Ended  
    March 31,  
    2005     2004  
Net income (loss) as reported
  $ 641     $ (743 )
Add: Total stock-based compensation expense included in net income as reported above
    14        
Deduct: Total stock-based compensation expense determined under fair value based method for all awards
    (253 )     (625 )
 
           
Pro forma net income (loss)
  $ 402     $ (1,368 )
 
           

(9) Investment in Affiliated Company

     The Company has 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. During the three months ended March 31, 2005, the Company received in aggregate $4.5 million in cash dividends on the preferred equity.

(10) Loan to Affiliated Company — Note Receivable

     In January 2005, the Company loaned $88.0 million to Mediacom Broadband LLC. The loan is in the form of a demand note, which has a 6.7% annual interest rate payable semi-annually in cash.

(11) Legal Proceedings

     On April 5, 2004, a lawsuit was filed against the Company’s parent, MCC, MCC Georgia LLC, a subsidiary of the Company’s sister company, Mediacom Broadband LLC, and other, currently unnamed potential defendants in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado by Echostar Satellite LLC, which operates a direct broadcast satellite business under the name “Dish Network”. Echostar alleges that systems operated by MCC Georgia LLC have used, without authorization, Dish Network satellite dishes activated under residential accounts to receive the signals of certain broadcast television stations in one or more locations in Georgia and that it has then been redistributing those signals, through its cable systems, to its subscribers. Among other claims, the complaint filed by Echostar alleges that these actions violate a provision of the Communications Act of 1934 (47 U.S.C. Sec. 605) that prohibits unauthorized interception of radio communications. The plaintiff seeks injunctive relief, actual and statutory damages, disgorgement of profits, punitive damages and litigation costs, including attorneys’ fees.

     On June 29, 2004, Echostar amended its complaint to also allege that this conduct amounted to a breach of the contract between Echostar and one of MCC’s employees, who allegedly acted as an agent for MCC, by which MCC received the Echostar satellite signal. On September 7, 2004, the U.S. District Court granted MCC’s motion to transfer the case to the Middle District of Georgia, where venue is proper and where personal jurisdiction over MCC exists. There were no proceedings for several months until Echostar filed a motion for default judgment on April 6, 2005. MCC filed a response opposing the motion and the court has not yet acted upon it.

     MCC Georgia LLC and the Company’s parent company have advised the Company that they intend to vigorously defend against the claims made by Echostar. They also have informed the Company that they are unable to reasonably evaluate the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome or quantify the possible damages, if any, associated with these matters, or judge whether or not those damages would be material to their consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows or business.

     The Company, its parent company and its subsidiaries or other affiliated companies are also involved in various other 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 the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows or business.

(12) Subsequent Events

     On April 15, 2005, the Company redeemed all of its outstanding 81/2% Senior Notes due 2008 (the “Notes”). The redemption price was equal to 101.417% of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes plus accrued interest. The Company funded the redemption with a combination of cash on hand and a $204.0 million borrowing from the revolving credit portion of the Company’s credit facility. The Company will record in its consolidated statement of operations a loss on extinguishment of debt of $2.8 million in the second quarter ended June 30, 2005.

     On April 26, 2005, Mediacom Broadband LLC repaid the $88.0 million loan plus accrued interest to the Company. The Company used the proceeds to repay outstandings under its revolving credit facility. As of the same date, after giving effect to the redemption of the Notes and repayment of this loan, the Company had unused commitments of about $278.0 million, all of which could have been borrowed and used for general corporate purposes based on the terms and conditions of the Company’s debt arrangements.

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, 2005 and 2004, and with the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.

Overview

     We are a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mediacom Communications Corporation (“MCC”). Through our interactive broadband network, we provide our customers with a wide array of broadband products and services, including analog and digital video services, such as video-on-demand (“VOD”), high-definition television (“HDTV”), digital video recorders (“DVRs”), and high-speed data access (“HSD”) and beginning in the second quarter of 2005, cable telephony. We currently offer video and HSD bundles, and, when we introduce cable telephony, we will offer triple play bundles of video, HSD and voice. Bundled products and services offer our subscribers a single provider contact for provisioning, billing and customer care.

     As of March 31, 2005, our cable systems passed an estimated 1.34 million homes and served 673,500 million basic video subscribers. We provide digital video services to 175,500 digital customers, representing a penetration of 26.1% of our basic subscribers. We also currently provide HSD to 181,000 data customers, representing a penetration of 13.5% of our estimated homes passed.

     We have faced increasing levels of competition for our video programming services over the past few years, mostly from direct broadcast satellite (“DBS”) service providers. Since they have been permitted to deliver local television broadcast signals beginning in 1999, DirecTV, Inc. and Echostar Communications Corporation, the two largest DBS service providers, have been increasing the number of markets in which they deliver these local television signals. These “local-into-local” launches have been the primary cause of our loss of basic subscribers in recent periods. By year-end 2004, competitive local-into-local services in our markets covered an estimated 91% of our basic subscribers, as compared to 48% at year-end 2003. We believe, based on publicly announced new market launches, that DBS service providers will launch local television channels in additional markets representing a modest amount of our subscriber base in 2005.
