Notes to Financial Statements

(Unaudited)



|1. | Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
|-- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------



Description of Business



Monitronics International, Inc. (the Company) provides security alarm monitoring and related services to residential and business subscribers
throughout the United States. The Company monitors signals arising from burglaries, fires, and other events through security systems installed by its independent dealers at subscribers premises.



The accompanying interim unaudited financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles. In the opinion of management, the accompanying interim unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a
fair presentation of the results of operations for the interim periods.



Restatement of Prior Year Financial Statements



In the third quarter of fiscal year 2004, the Company changed its method of amortizing subscriber accounts from a 10-year straight-line method to a 10-year 135% declining balance method. The Company believes the 10-year 135% declining
balance method provides a better matching to individual subscriber revenues. In conjunction with this change in amortization method, the Company has restated prior period financial statements.



The effect of the restatement on previously reported amortization and net
income for the three months and six months ended December 31, 2003 is as follows:

Stock Compensation



The Company accounts for stock-based employee compensation arrangements
in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB 25) and related interpretations, and complies with the disclosure provisions of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS 123). Under APB 25, compensation cost is recognized over the vesting period based on the difference, if any, on the date of grant between the fair market
value of the Companys common stock and the exercise price of the stock option granted. Generally, the Company grants options with an exercise price at least equal to or above the fair market value of the Companys common stock on the date
of the grant and, as a result, generally does not record compensation cost.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements



In May 2003, the FASB issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 150 Accounting For Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity (SFAS 150). This statement established standards for how an issuer classifies and measures in
its statement of financial position certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. SFAS 150 is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the
beginning of the first fiscal period beginning after December 15, 2003 and must be applied prospectively by reporting the cumulative effect of a change in an accounting principle for financial instruments created before the issuance date of the
statement and still existing at the beginning of the interim period of adoption which was July 1, 2004. The initial adoption of SFAS 150 had no material impact on the financial statements. However, a subsequent amendment related to an investor put
option resulted in the Company recording an initial $0.5 million liability and related expense at September 30, 2004 and an additional $0.1 million in accrued expense was recorded in the second fiscal quarter to adjust the put option to fair value
at December 31, 2004 as described in Note 3 (Related Party Transactions) to these financial statements.

At December 31, 2004,
the Company had a $320.0 million credit facility with various financial institutions, consisting of a $145 million revolving credit line and a $175 million term loan. As of December 31, 2004, the Company had $50.4 million in borrowings outstanding
under the $145 million revolving credit facility and had $172.8 million in borrowings outstanding under the term loan. Further, the Company had $94.6 million in availability under the revolving credit line of which $28.7 million was immediately
available as calculated under the covenants in the Companys credit facility, and is charged a commitment fee of 0.75% on the average daily unused portion. The revolving credit line bears interest at a rate of either prime plus 3.0% or LIBOR
plus 4.0%. The term loan bears interest at a rate of either prime plus 3.5% or LIBOR plus 4.5%. At December 31, 2004, borrowings

under the credit facility bear interest at a weighted average interest rate of 6.4%. Interest incurred on borrowings is payable monthly in arrears.



On August 18, 2003, the Company entered into an agreement with
the Hull Family Limited Partnership (the Partnership), as amended on September 23, 2004, that allowed the Partnership to put $500,000 in value of Class A common stock to the Company in each fiscal year beginning in fiscal 2005 and ending
June 30, 2009. On November 22, 2004, the Partnership exercised the first of five option exercises by selling the Company $500,000 worth of Class A common stock. The fair value of the remaining investor put option was $0.4 million at December 31,
2004. See Note 3 (Related Party Transactions) to these financial statements.



On August 25, 2003, the Company issued $160.0 million of senior subordinated notes (the Senior Subordinated Notes) at 11.75% at a discount of $0.94 million with a maturity date of September 1, 2010.
Interest payments are to be made semi-annually in cash in arrears on March 1 and September 1 of each year beginning on March 1, 2004. On December 16, 2004, the Company completed an exchange offer in which it exchanged new notes that were registered
under the Securities Act of 1933 for the Senior Subordinated Notes. In accordance with the registration rights agreement associated with these notes, Monitronics incurred special interest on the Senior Subordinated Notes in the amount of $470,000 in
connection with the exchange offer. On August 25, 2003, the Company also entered into its existing credit facility agreement comprised of a $175.0 million term loan that matures in fiscal year 2010 and a $145.0 million revolving credit facility that
matures in fiscal year 2009. Payments under the term loan are payable in quarterly installments from December 31, 2003 through June 30, 2009. The quarterly payment is calculated based upon the amount of the original facility multiplied by 0.25% for
the quarters ended December 31, 2003 through September 30, 2006, 1.25% for the quarters ended December 31, 2006 through September 30, 2007 and 3.00% for the quarters ended December 31, 2007 through June 30, 2009 with the remaining balance due at
maturity. The revolving credit facility, which matures in fiscal year 2009, is subject to possible earlier quarterly payments beginning December 31, 2006 resulting from required lender commitment reductions at a rate of 5% per quarter beginning on
such date. Proceeds from the issuance of the Senior Subordinated Notes and borrowings under the credit facility were used primarily to repay the Companys prior credit facility and its $12 million senior subordinated notes payable, to
repurchase $20.5 million principal amount of its subordinated notes at a repurchase price of approximately $23.2 million and to pay debt issuance costs. As a result of the above transactions, the Company incurred a loss on redemption of its debt of
$2.9 million and expensed $5.9 million of its previously capitalized deferred financing costs. These amounts are included in the caption Other Expense on the statement of operations for the six months ended December 31, 2003. The terms
of the then remaining $20.5 million principal amount of the subordinated notes were amended, and the maturity date was extended to March 1, 2010. Interest on the subordinated notes originally accrued at 13.5% per annum with interest payable
semi-annually at a rate of 12% per annum with the remaining 1.5% interest per annum added to the outstanding principal amount of the subordinated notes. The 1.5% interest rate increased to 2.5% per annum on December 15, 2003 when the subordinated
notes were not repurchased by that date, and the increased rate was applied retroactively to August 25, 2003.



The credit facility and subordinated notes have certain financial tests which must be met on a quarterly basis, including maximum total senior debt and
total debt to quarterly annualized net operating income, minimum interest coverage ratio, minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and an annual capital expenditure limit. Indebtedness under the credit facility is secured by all of the assets of the
Company. As of December 31, 2004, the Company was in compliance with all required financial tests.

|3. | Related Party Transactions
|-- | --------------------------



Concurrent with the Senior Subordinated Notes offering, the Company entered into an agreement with James R. Hull, the Companys president and chief
executive officer, pursuant to which the Company paid Mr. Hull a $2 million transaction fee in cash at the closing of the refinancing on August 25, 2003. This fee was capitalized as deferred financing costs. On November 7, 2003, the Hull Family
Limited Partnership (the Partnership) exercised its right to require the Company to purchase 400,000 shares of Class A common stock at a purchase price of $1 million in cash. Based on the fair value of the Companys stock, no
expense was recorded related to the repurchase of the Partnerships shares. The agreement also gives the Partnership a written investor put option to sell up to $500,000 in value of its Class A common stock to the Company in each of the
subsequent five fiscal years at purchase prices per share that are based on a multiple of the Companys consolidated cash flow. Based on the fair value of the Companys stock at the time of the agreement, the Company recorded no liability
in connection with this agreement. The written investor put option was amended on September 23, 2004, resulting in the Company recording a liability and related sales, general and administrative (SG&A) expense of $0.5 million based
on the fair value of the written put option at September 30, 2004. On November 22, 2004, the Partnership exercised the first of five option exercises by selling the Company 57,549 shares of Class A Common stock for $500,000. During the second fiscal
quarter, the Company accrued an additional expense of $0.1 million to adjust the put option to fair value at December 31, 2004. As of December 31, 2004, the outstanding liability was $0.4 million. The Company will prospectively adjust its liability
and related SG&A expense as the fair value of the put option changes.



The Company paid an advisory fee of $2.7 million to ABRY Partners, LLC, an affiliate of ABRY Capital Partners, L.P., in connection with the August 2003 refinancing. This fee was capitalized as deferred financing
costs. An affiliate of ABRY Capital Partners, L.P. purchased a portion of the Senior Subordinated Notes offered in the refinancing transaction.



|4. | Stock Warrants, Restricted Stock and Stock Options
|-- | --------------------------------------------------



During the six months ended December 31, 2004, the Company repurchased 180 unvested restricted shares. On November 24, 2004, the Company granted 161,640
stock options to employees, of which 87,128 fully vested on the date of grant, 68,512 will vest ratably over four years from date of grant, and 6,000 will vest ratably over three years from date of grant.



|5. | Recapitalization
|-- | ----------------



The Company has historically financed a portion of its operations through issuances of preferred stock. As a result of these equity issuances, the
Companys capital structure included outstanding shares of Series A, Series B, Series C, Series C-1 and Series D-1 preferred stock and warrants to purchase the Companys Class A common stock held by four investor groups. Beginning in May
2003, the Companys preferred shareholders began discussions amongst themselves to implement a restructuring of the Companys equity that would reallocate their share ownership and voting interests based on the accrued liquidation
preference of their investments. Each of Austin Ventures III-A, L.P., Austin Ventures III-B, L.P., Austin Ventures V, L.P. and Austin Ventures V Affiliates Fund, L.P. (collectively, the Austin Ventures entities), who were the
Companys initial equity investors, also sought to exchange their voting control position and the right to designate a majority of the members of the Companys board

of directors for priority liquidation rights structured to provide them with an opportunity for the return of their investment beginning June 30, 2008. In
addition, each of Windward Capital Partners II, L.P. and Windward Capital LP II, LLC (collectively, the Windward entities) desired to liquidate their investment through the sale of their shares of Series C and Series C-1 preferred stock
to a third party or a redemption of these shares, both of which alternatives required the consent of the Companys other preferred shareholders under the terms of existing shareholder agreements.



On July 14, 2004, the Company completed a series of transactions which it
refers to as the recapitalization. In the recapitalization, the Company redeemed approximately $5.6 million of the Series C and C-1 preferred stock held by the Windward entities and then issued shares of a new Series A preferred or Class
A common stock to its preferred shareholders in exchange for all of their preferred stock, Class A common stock and warrants to purchase Class A common stock. The preferred shareholders determined the number of shares to be received in the exchange
based on the liquidation preference of, and accrued but unpaid dividends on, the existing preferred shares as of July 14, 2004 for the shares held by the Windward entities and as of June 30, 2003 for the remaining preferred shares. The
Companys preferred shareholders agreed to value the Class A common stock and new Series A preferred stock received in the exchange at $6.00 per share. The valuation was based on a negotiation amongst the Companys preferred shareholders
and the agreement of New York Life Capital Partners II, L.P. and PPM America Private Equity Fund L.P. to subsequently purchase the shares of Class A common stock received by the Windward entities in the exchange for $6.00 per share. No independent
third party valuations or appraisal opinions were obtained by the preferred shareholders or board of directors during the negotiation process. The Companys lenders and preferred shareholders consented to the recapitalization as required under
the terms of the Companys applicable agreements.



The
Companys preferred shareholders also negotiated the terms of the new Series A preferred stock issued to the Austin Ventures entities. The Companys board of directors and the holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares of
Class A common stock, Series A preferred stock, Series B preferred stock, Series C preferred stock, Series C-1 preferred stock and Series D-1 preferred stock, each voting as a separate class as required by the Companys articles of
incorporation, approved the amendment and restatement of the Companys articles of incorporation to create the new Series A preferred stock. The new Series A preferred stock initially does not accrue dividends, votes with the Class A common
stock as a single class and is convertible into an equal number of shares of Class A common stock at the holders option. Prior to a dividend election, as described below, the new Series A preferred stock automatically converts into Class A
common stock upon an initial public offering, a sale or liquidation of the Company, the expiration of the last date on which the holders may make a dividend election or at the option of the holders. The holders of the new Series A preferred stock
may elect for shares to begin accruing dividends only during the 30-day periods following the determination of annualized EBITDA for the Companys quarterly periods ending June 30, 2005, December 31, 2006 and June 30, 2008 or in the event of
covenant or leverage defaults.



If the holders of the new
Series A preferred stock make a dividend election, dividends will initially accrue on such shares at 8% per annum and will increase at a rate of 2% per annum on each anniversary of the dividend election up to 16% per annum. The dividend rate may
increase up to 24% per annum following covenant or leverage defaults. Following a dividend election, the new Series A preferred stock will become non-voting and will no longer be convertible into Class A common stock. However, the new Series A
preferred stock will become subject to mandatory redemption following a dividend election. If the Company fails to redeem the shares on the later of June 30, 2008 or 30 days after such date if the dividend election is made for the quarterly period
ending June 30, 2008, the maximum dividend rate will increase from 16% to 24%. If the Company fails to redeem the new Series A preferred stock on or prior to June 30, 2009 following a dividend election, the holders of the new Series A preferred
stock may initiate the sale or liquidation of the Company. The aggregate liquidation preference of the new Series A preferred stock is the amount that would be paid to holders of Class A common stock (assuming conversion of the new Series A
preferred stock) out of liquidation proceeds equal to an initial multiple of 5.5 times annualized EBITDA less outstanding debt and accrued dividends on the new Series A preferred stock. The EBITDA multiple will be adjusted following any covenant or
leverage defaults. The Company may also redeem these shares at its option at any time after a dividend election

(Unaudited)



The Company financed the total $6.8 million cost of the recapitalization, including the $5.6 million
redemption payment and approximately $1.2 million of fees and costs, with borrowings under its credit facility. The preferred stock and accrued but unpaid dividends redeemed by the Company was retired. The new Series A preferred stock was recorded
as preferred stock at its issuance cost at the date of the recapitalization. The Company issued 28,429,907 shares of Class A common stock and recorded the Class A common at the liquidation preference of the exchanged preferred stock plus the accrued
and unpaid dividends as of July 14, 2004 for the shares held by the Windward entities and as of June 30, 2003 for the remaining preferred shares. Conversely, the Company canceled a total of 750,136 shares of Class A common stock in connection with
the recapitalization transaction which included 33,344 shares owned by Austin Ventures III-A, L.P., 28,167 shares owned by Austin Ventures III-B, L.P. and 688,625 shares owned by Capital Resource Lenders II, L.P.

Overview



Nearly all of
our revenues are derived from monthly recurring revenues under security alarm monitoring contracts purchased from independent dealers in our exclusive nationwide network. Our alarm monitoring contracts generally have a non-cancelable initial term of
three years, generally allow for periodic price increases and provide



13



---

for automatic annual renewals during which the subscriber may cancel the contract upon 30 days proper written notice. Revenues are recognized as the
related monitoring services are provided. Other revenues are derived primarily from the provision of third-party contract monitoring services and from field technical repair services.



Cost of services primarily consists of direct labor associated with monitoring and servicing subscriber accounts and
expenses related to field technical repair services. Sales, general and administrative expenses primarily include the cost of personnel conducting sales and administrative activities and other costs related to sales, administration and operations.
All direct external costs associated with the purchase of subscriber accounts are capitalized and amortized over ten years using a 135% declining balance method. Internal costs, including all personnel and related support costs incurred solely in
connection with subscriber account acquisitions and transitions, are expensed as incurred.



Restatement of the Three and Six Months ended December 31, 2003 Financial Statements



In the third quarter of fiscal year 2004, we changed our method of amortizing subscriber accounts from a 10-year straight-line method to a 10-year 135%
declining balance method. We believe the 10-year 135% declining balance method provides a better matching to individual subscriber revenues. In conjunction with this change in amortization method, we have restated prior period financial statements.



The effect of the restatement on previously reported
amortization and net income for the three months and six months ended December 31, 2003 is as follows:

Attrition



We purchase subscriber contracts from our exclusive network of independent
dealers. These contracts with our subscribers are typically three-year non-cancelable contracts with an automatic annual renewal provision during which the subscriber may cancel the contract upon 30 days proper written notice. A portion of our
subscriber base can be expected to cancel its service every year. Subscribers may choose not to renew or terminate their contract for a variety of reasons, including relocation, cost, switching to our competitors service and service issues. A
majority of canceled accounts result from subscriber relocation or the inability to contact the subscriber.



Account cancellation, otherwise referred to as subscriber attrition, has a direct impact on the number of subscribers we serve and hence our financial
results, including revenues, operating income and cash flow. We define our attrition rate as the number of canceled accounts in a given period divided by the average of the beginning and ending balance of subscribers for that period. We consider an
account canceled when a subscriber terminates in accordance with the terms of the contract or if payment from the subscriber is deemed uncollectible. If a subscriber relocates but continues his service, this is not a cancellation. If the subscriber
relocates and discontinues his service and a new subscriber takes over the service continuing the revenue stream, this is a cancellation and a new owner takeover. We adjust the number of canceled accounts by excluding those that are contractually
guaranteed by our dealers. Our typical dealer contract provides that if a subscriber cancels in the first year of its contract, the dealer must replace the lost monthly revenue attributable to the canceled contract and either replace the canceled
account with a new one or refund our purchase price. To help ensure the dealers obligation to us, we typically hold back approximately 10% of the purchase price for every account we purchase. In some cases, the amount of the purchase holdback
may be less than actual attrition experience. In recent years, a substantial portion of the accounts that canceled within this initial 12-month period were replaced by the dealers at no additional cost to us.

|(1) | Net of canceled accounts that are contractually guaranteed by the dealer and new owner takeovers
|--- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Our trailing twelve-month attrition rose to 12.7% for the period ended December 31, 2004 from 11.0% for the period ended
December 31, 2003. This increase primarily reflects a slight change in policy we adopted in June 2004 to permit subscribers in their annual renewal period to cancel with proper 30-days written notice. This change resulted in the cancellation of a
small number of accounts ahead of schedule. This change in policy was made as a result of our comparing the small amount of revenue lost to the level of customer dissatisfaction created when a one-year renewal is enforced and deciding that customer
satisfaction is the much greater influence on the level of our future business. The primary three-year term of the contract remains non-cancelable.



We also analyze our attrition by classifying our accounts into annual pools based on the year of purchase. We then track the number of accounts that
cancel as a percentage of the initial number of accounts purchased for each pool for each year subsequent to its purchase. Based on the average cancellation rate across our pools, we achieve nearly 0% attrition in the first year net of canceled
accounts that are contractually guaranteed by the dealers. In the next three years, the number of subscribers that cancel as a percentage of the initial number of subscribers in that pool gradually increases and historically has peaked between the
third and fourth years. The peak between the third and fourth years is primarily a result of the buildup of subscribers that moved or no longer had need for the service prior to the third year but did not cancel their service until the end of their
three-year contract. After the fourth year, the number of subscribers that cancel as a percentage of the initial number of subscribers in that pool declines every year. As a result, we believe our attrition rate decreases as the age of our accounts
increase. Our pool analysis also indicates that, on average, over 30% of each pool remains by the end of the tenth year.



Results of Operations



Three Months Ended December 31, 2004 Compared to Three Months Ended December 31, 2003



Revenues. Total revenues increased $4.0 million, or 11%, to $41.5 million in the three months ended December 31, 2004 from $37.5 million in the
three months ended December 31, 2003. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the number of subscriber accounts to 450,412 as of December 31, 2004 from 419,778 as of December 31, 2003 and a small net increase in average revenue
per customer.



Cost of services. Cost of services
increased $0.6 million, or 16%, to $4.6 million in the three months ended December 31, 2004 from $4.0 million in three months ended December 31, 2003. As a percentage of revenues, cost of services was 11% for both the three months ended December 31,
2004 and the three months ended December 31, 2003.



Sales,
general and administrative (SG&A).SG&A increased $0.9 million, or 15%, to $7.5 million in the three months ended December 31, 2004 from $6.6 million in the three months ended December 31, 2003. As a percentage of revenues,
SG&A was 18% for both the three months ended December 31, 2004 and the three months ended December 31, 2003.

---

Amortization. Amortization of intangibles increased $2.3 million, or 13%, to $19.5 million in the
three months ended December 31, 2004 from $17.2 million in the three months ended December 31, 2003. The increase was attributable to growth in our purchased subscriber accounts through our authorized dealer program.



Interest expense. Interest expense increased $1.0 million, or 11%, to
$10.3 million in the three months ended December 31, 2004 from $9.3 million in the three months ended December 31, 2003. The increase was primarily a result of the increase in borrowing under our revolving line of credit throughout the quarter
incurred to fund our purchase of subscriber accounts. Additionally, our average interest rate increased to 10.2% in the three months ended December 31, 2004 from 9.9% in the three months ended December 31, 2003 as a result of higher average interest
rates on our credit facility. As we continue to acquire subscriber accounts with proceeds from our revolving line of credit, our average interest rate will decline based on current interest rates under that line of credit.



Net loss. Net loss increased $0.5 million to a loss of $0.6 million in
the three months ended December 31, 2004 from a loss of $0.1 million in the three months ended December 31, 2003 primarily due to higher interest expense.



Six Months Ended December 31, 2004 Compared to Six Months Ended December 31, 2003



Revenues. Total revenues increased $8.6 million, or 12%, to $82.0 million in the six months ended December 31, 2004
from $73.4 million in the six months ended December 31, 2003. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the number of subscriber accounts to 450,412 as of December 31, 2004 from 419,778 as of December 31, 2003 and a small net
increase in average revenue per customer.



Cost of
services. Cost of services increased $1.5 million, or 19%, to $9.5 million in the six months ended December 31, 2004 from $8.0 million in six months ended December 31, 2003. As a percentage of revenues, cost of services increased to 12% for the
six months ended December 31, 2004 versus 11% for the six months ended December 31, 2003 principally due to higher field technical service expense as a result of proportionately higher service calls.



Sales, general and administrative.SG&A increased $2.1 million, or
16%, to $15.0 million in the six months ended December 31, 2004 from $12.9 million in the six months ended December 31, 2003. As a percentage of revenues, SG&A was 18% for the six months ended December 31, 2004 and the six months ended December
31, 2003. During the six months ended December 31, 2004, $0.6 million of expenses was recorded to reflect the fair value of the Hull Family Limited Partnerships written investor put option described in Note 3 (Related Party Transactions) to
the financial statements included in part I Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.



Amortization. Amortization of intangibles increased $4.7 million, or 14%, to $38.3 million in the six months ended December 31, 2004 from $33.6 million in the six months ended December 31, 2003. The increase was attributable to
growth in our purchased subscriber accounts through our authorized dealer program.



Interest expense. Interest expense increased $3.5 million, or 21%, to $20.1 million in the six months ended December 31, 2004 from $16.6 million in the six months ended December 31, 2003. The increase was
primarily due to higher overall average interest rates resulting from the issuance of $160.0 million of our 11.75% senior subordinated notes on August 25, 2003 and the restructuring of our credit facility on August 25, 2003. Our average interest
rate increased to 10.1% in the six months ended December 31, 2004 from 9.1% in the six months ended December 31, 2003. Interest expense also increased as a result of the increase in our average long-term debt outstanding throughout the quarter
incurred to fund our purchase of subscriber accounts. As we continue to acquire subscriber accounts with proceeds from our revolving line of credit, our average overall interest rate will decline based on current interest rates under that line of
credit.



Loss on debt refinancing. For the six months
ended December 31, 2003, we incurred a loss on debt refinancing of $8.8 million related to our refinancing completed August 25, 2003. This loss included a $5.9 million write-off of deferred financing costs related to our prior credit facility and
$2.9 million of prepayment penalties associated with the retirement of a portion of our 14.5% subordinated notes due March 1, 2010.



Net loss. Net loss decreased $3.5 million to a loss of $1.4 million in the six months ended December 31, 2004 from a loss of $4.9 million in the
six months ended December 31, 2003. The smaller loss was primarily due to last years results which included $8.8 million in expenses incurred in connection with our August 2003 refinancing. In



16



---

connection with our refinancing, we wrote off $5.9 million of deferred financing costs and incurred prepayment penalties of $2.9 million (see Loss on
debt refinancing above).



Liquidity and Capital Resources



General. Our operating strategy requires the
availability of significant funds to finance growth through subscriber account purchases. Additional cash requirements include debt service and capital expenditures. We have financed our growth from a combination of long-term borrowings, issuance of
preferred stock and cash flows provided by operations.



Major
components of our working capital include accounts receivable, deferred revenue, purchase holdbacks and accrued interest payable. We expect to experience negative working capital in the future primarily due to accrued interest payable and purchase
holdbacks. Purchase holdbacks are dependent on the number of subscriber accounts we purchase and the percentage of the purchase price we withhold to ensure a dealers obligation during the guarantee period. Accrued interest payable is dependent
on the level of our debt and the timing of interest payments.



As of December 31, 2004 and June 30, 2004, we had working capital deficits of $7.5 million for both periods. Changes in our working capital deficit included a decrease in purchase holdbacks partially offset by a decrease in cash and cash
equivalents. Purchase holdbacks decreased from $10.4 million as of June 30, 2004 to $8.4 million as of December 31, 2004 primarily due to lower volume in our accounts purchased and some return of holdback ahead of schedule. The decrease in purchase
holdbacks was partially offset by cash and cash equivalents decreasing from $1.6 million as of June 30, 2004 to $0.2 million as of December 31, 2004. As of June 30, 2004, the $1.6 million in cash was primarily a result of significant customer
payments received on the last day of the fiscal year that were subsequently used to paydown debt.



Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended December 31, 2004 was $39.7 million, as compared to $37.9 million for the six months
ended December 31, 2003. The increase in cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended December 31, 2004 primarily resulted from the growth in our subscriber base and the resulting increases in revenues.



Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended December 31,
2004 was $56.2 million, compared to $61.3 million for the six months ended December 31, 2003 primarily because of purchasing fewer accounts. For the six months ended December 31, 2004, capital expenditures were $1.6 million versus $0.6 million for
the six months ended December 31, 2003. Capital expenditures were primarily for our central monitoring station equipment, telephone systems, computer systems and leasehold improvements for our offices. Capital expenditures are expected to vary based
on the growth of our subscriber account base and improvements to our technology, operating and financial systems. Purchases of subscriber accounts consist of all direct external payments associated with the purchase of subscriber accounts. The
portion of the purchase holdback paid to dealers at the end of the guarantee period is included in this amount when paid.



Our net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended December 31, 2004 was $15.1 million, as compared to $23.8 million for the six
months ended December 31, 2003.



As of December 31, 2004, we
had $223.2 million outstanding under our credit facility, bearing interest at a weighted average rate for the six months ended December 31, 2004 of approximately 6.4% per annum, and we had approximately $94.6 million in borrowing availability under
our revolving credit line, of which $28.7 million was immediately available as calculated under the covenants in our credit facility. In addition, we had $181.2 million in principal amount outstanding of senior subordinated and subordinated notes as
of December 31, 2004.



On July 14, 2004, we completed a
recapitalization in which we redeemed approximately $5.6 million of the Series C and Series C-1 preferred stock held by the Windward entities and then issued shares of a new Series A preferred stock or Class A common stock to our preferred
shareholders in exchange for all their shares of preferred stock, Class A common stock and warrants to purchase Class A common stock. The Windward entities subsequently sold the shares of Class A common stock they received in the exchange to two new
investors at $6.00 per share. We financed the total $6.8 million cost of the recapitalization, including the $5.6 million redemption payment and approximately $1.2 million of fees and expenses, with borrowings under our senior credit facility.

---

Prior to the recapitalization, we were obligated to accrue cumulative dividends on each series of our
previously outstanding preferred stock at varying rates, but we were prohibited from paying these dividends under the terms of our credit facility and the indenture governing the senior subordinated notes if an event of default existed or would
result from such payment. The recapitalization allowed us to restructure our accrued dividends by converting the accrued dividends into common and preferred stock. Our new Series A preferred stock issued in the recapitalization is not currently
accruing dividends, and payment of any dividends after a dividend election will continue to be prohibited under the terms of our credit facility and the indenture if an event of default exists or would result from such payment. Accordingly, we do
not expect to pay any dividends over the next one to three years.



On August 25, 2003, we issued $160.0 million of senior subordinated notes at 11.75% with a maturity date of September 1, 2010. Interest payments are to be made semi-annually in cash in arrears on March 1 and September 1 of each year
beginning on March 1, 2004. On December 16, 2004, we completed an exchange offer in which we exchanged new notes that were registered under the Securities Act of 1933 for the senior subordinated notes. In accordance with the registration rights
agreement associated with these notes, we incurred special interest on the senior subordinated notes in the amount of $470,000 in connection with the exchange offer.



Further on August 25, 2003, we entered into a new credit facility agreement with Fleet National Bank (Fleet) as
administrative agent, Bank of America, N.A. as syndication agent, and a syndicate of lenders, including Fleet and Bank of America, N.A., as amended on July 14, 2004. Our credit facility is comprised of a $175.0 million term loan that matures in
fiscal 2010 and a $145.0 million revolving credit facility that matures in fiscal 2009. Payments under the term loan are payable in quarterly installments from December 31, 2003 through June 30, 2009. The quarterly payment is calculated based upon
the amount of the original facility multiplied by 0.25% for the quarters ended December 31, 2003 through December 31, 2006, 1.25% for the quarters ended December 31, 2006 through December 31, 2007 and 3.00% for the quarters ended December 31, 2007
through June 30, 2009 with the remaining balance due at maturity. We used the borrowings under this credit facility together with the proceeds of the senior subordinated notes offering primarily to repay our prior credit facility, to repay all of
our $12 million 12% senior subordinated notes due June 30, 2007, and to repurchase $20.5 million principal amount of our 14.5% subordinated notes due March 1, 2010 at a repurchase price of approximately $23.2 million. As a result of the repayments,
we expensed our previously capitalized deferred financing costs totaling $5.9 million and recognized a pre-tax loss of $2.9 million in the repurchase of the subordinated notes. In connection with our August 2003 refinancing, we amended the terms of
our subordinated notes to extend the maturity date of the then remaining $20.5 million principal amount from January 18, 2009 to March 1, 2010. Prior to the amendment, interest accrued on the subordinated notes at 13.5% per annum with interest
payable semi-annually in cash at a rate of 12% per annum with the remaining 1.5% interest per annum added to the outstanding principal amount of the subordinated notes. The 1.5% per annum interest rate increased to 2.5% per annum on December 15,
2003 and the increased rate applies retroactively to August 25, 2003.



We will require substantial cash flow to fully implement our business strategy and meet our principal and interest obligations with respect to the senior subordinated notes and our other indebtedness. We anticipate that cash flow generated
from operations and borrowings under our current credit facility will provide sufficient liquidity to fund these requirements for the foreseeable future. Following the August 2003 refinancing, we continue to have significant borrowing capacity under
our current credit facility. This increased capacity coupled with anticipated cash flow from operations is expected to meet and satisfy our short-term obligations.



We further preserve our borrowing capacity by following a cash management practice of maintaining as low as possible ongoing
cash balance. However, our ability to meet our debt service and other obligations depends on our future performance, which in turn is subject to general economic conditions and other factors, certain of which are beyond our control. If we are unable
to generate sufficient cash flow from operations or otherwise to comply with the terms of the indenture governing the senior subordinated notes or our other debt instruments, we may be required to refinance all or a portion of our existing debt or
obtain additional financing. Further, the agreements or indentures governing our new credit facility, our senior subordinated notes and subordinated notes contain financial tests relating to capital expenditure limits, maximum total debt to
annualized quarterly EBITDA, maximum total senior debt to annualized quarterly EBITDA, interest coverage and fixed charge coverage that may impact our ability to refinance all or a portion of our existing debt or obtain additional financing. As of
December 31, 2004, we were in compliance with all required financial tests.

Critical Accounting Policies



Our discussion and analysis of results of operations and
financial condition are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires
management to use judgment in making estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates and assumptions on historical
experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates and assumptions are evaluated on an ongoing basis. Due to the nature of certain assets and liabilities, there are uncertainties
associated with some of the judgments, assumptions and estimates which are required to be made. Reported results could have been materially different under a different set of assumptions and estimates for certain accounting principle applications.



Income Taxes and Deferred Tax Assets. As part of
preparing our financial statements, significant management judgment is required in determining our provision for income taxes and our deferred tax assets and liabilities. This process involves us estimating our actual current tax exposure together
with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items, especially the amortization of subscriber accounts, which are amortized using a 10-year 135% declining balance method for financial reporting purposes and are
amortized using a 10-year straight-line method for tax purposes. These differences have resulted in deferred tax assets totaling $14.4 million at December 31, 2004.



Since there is no absolute assurance that these assets will be ultimately realized, management periodically reviews our
deferred tax position to determine if it is more likely than not that such assets will be realized. Such periodic reviews include, among other things, the expected timing when certain assets will be realized and our expected future earnings. If,
after conducting such a review, management determines that the realization of the tax asset does not meet the more-likely-than-not criteria, an offsetting valuation allowance is recorded, thereby reducing net earnings and the deferred
tax asset in that period. No valuation allowance has been established because of the expectation that it is more likely than not that these deferred tax assets will be realized.



Goodwill. As of December 31, 2004 we had goodwill of $14.8 million, which represents 2.9% of our total assets. We
test goodwill annually for impairment and record an impairment charge if the carrying amount exceeds the fair value. We use a discounted cash flow approach as well as other methods to determine the fair value used in our test for impairment of
goodwill. The results of this methodology depend upon a number of estimates and assumptions relating to cash flows, discount rates and other matters. Accordingly, such testing is subject to certain uncertainties, which could cause the fair value of
goodwill to fluctuate from period to period.



Recent Accounting
Pronouncements



In May 2003, the FASB issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 150 Accounting For Certain Financial instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity (SFAS 150). SFAS 150 established standards for how an issuer classifies and measures in its statement
of financial position certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. SFAS 150 is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the
first fiscal period beginning after December 15, 2003 and must be applied prospectively by reporting the cumulative effect of a change in an accounting principle for financial instruments created before the issuance date of SFAS 150 and still
existing at the beginning of the interim period of adoption which was July 1, 2004. The initial adoption of SFAS 150 had no material impact on the financial statements. However, a subsequent amendment related to an investor put option resulted in us
recording an initial $0.5 million liability and related expense and an additional $0.1 million in accrued expense to adjust the put option to fair value at December 31, 2004 as described in Note 3 (Related Party Transactions) to the financial
statements included in Part I  Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.



Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements



The Company does not have any
off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in Regulation S-K Item 303(a)(4)(ii)(A)-(D), that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the Companys financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or
expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

|Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
|------- | ----------------------------------------------------------



We have interest rate risk, in that borrowings under our credit facility are based on variable market interest rates. As of December 31, 2004, we had
$223.2 million of variable rate debt outstanding under our credit facility. Presently, the revolving credit line bears interest at a rate of prime plus 3.0% or LIBOR plus 4.0%, with the term loan at a rate of prime plus 3.5% or LIBOR plus 4.5%. To
control our exposure to interest rates under our facility, we utilize interest rate caps as required by our credit facility. As of December 31, 2004, these interest rate caps provided that the interest rate on approximately $120 million of
borrowings under our credit facility cannot exceed an interest rate of 10%. A hypothetical 10% increase in our credit facilitys weighted average interest rate of 6.4% per annum for the six months ended December 31, 2004 would correspondingly
decrease our earnings and operating cash flows by approximately $0.7 million.



Our privately issued $21.2 million subordinated notes due March 1, 2010 have a fixed interest rate of 14.5%, but have exposure to changes in the debts fair value. In connection with our August 2003 refinancing,
we amended the terms of these subordinated notes to extend the maturity date from January 18, 2009 to March 1, 2010 and to increase the interest rate from 13.5% per annum to 14.5% per annum. In addition, we issued $160.0 million aggregate principal
amount of our senior subordinated notes due September 10, 2010 with a fixed interest rate of 11.75%, which has exposure to changes in the debts fair value.



|Item 4. | Controls and Procedures
|------- | -----------------------



We maintain a system of controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance as to the reliability of the financial statements and other
disclosures included in this report, as well as to safeguard assets from unauthorized use or disposition. We evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934 Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based upon that evaluation, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 are effective in timely alerting
them to material information required to be included in our periodic Securities and Exchange Commission filings. No significant changes were made to our internal controls over financial reporting or in other factors that have materially affected or
are reasonably likely to materially affect these controls during our most recent fiscal quarter. The design of any system of controls and procedures is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events.



PART II . OTHER INFORMATION



|Item 1. | Legal Proceedings
