ASCENT CAPITAL GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(1)                                 Basis of Presentation

On July 7, 2011, Ascent Media Corporation merged with its direct wholly owned subsidiary, Ascent Capital Group, Inc., for the purpose of changing its name to Ascent Capital Group, Inc. The accompanying Ascent Capital Group, Inc. (“Ascent Capital” or the “Company”) condensed consolidated financial statements represent the financial position and results of operations of Ascent Capital and its consolidated subsidiaries.  Monitronics International, Inc. (“Monitronics”) is the primary, wholly owned, operating subsidiary of the Company.  On August 16, 2013, Monitronics acquired all of the equity interests of Security Networks LLC (“Security Networks”) and certain affiliated entities (the “Security Networks Acquisition”). Monitronics provides security alarm monitoring and related services to residential and business subscribers throughout the United States and parts of Canada.  Monitronics monitors signals arising from burglaries, fires, medical alerts and other events through security systems installed by independent dealers at subscribers’ premises.

The unaudited interim financial information of the Company has been prepared in accordance with Article 10 of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (the “SEC”) Regulation S-X. Accordingly, it does not include all of the information required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements. The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2014, and for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, include Ascent Capital and all of its direct and indirect subsidiaries.  The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited but, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the results for such periods.  The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.  These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Ascent Capital Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, filed with the SEC on February 27, 2014 (the “2013 Form 10-K”).

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenue and expenses for each reporting period.  The significant estimates made in preparation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements primarily relate to valuation of goodwill, other intangible assets, long-lived assets, deferred tax assets, derivative financial instruments, and the amount of the allowance for doubtful accounts. These estimates are based on management’s best estimates and judgment. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors and adjusts them when facts and circumstances change. As the effects of future events cannot be determined with any certainty, actual results could differ from the estimates upon which the carrying values were based.

(2)                                 Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity.  The update raises the threshold for disposals to qualify as discontinued operations, expands the disclosures for discontinued operations and requires new disclosures related to individually material disposals that do not meet the definition of a discontinued operation.  The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014 and interim periods within that year.  The Company does not expect the impact of adopting this ASU to be material to the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

(3)                                 Security Networks Acquisition

On August 16, 2013 (the “Closing Date”), Monitronics acquired all of the equity interests of Security Networks and certain affiliated entities.  The purchase price (the “Security Networks Purchase Price”) of $500,557,000 consisted of $481,834,000 in cash and 253,333 shares of Ascent Capital’s Series A common stock (par value $0.01 per share) with a Closing Date fair value of $18,723,000.  The Security Networks Purchase Price includes post-closing adjustments of $1,057,000.

The cash portion of the Security Networks Purchase Price was funded by cash on hand at Ascent Capital, the proceeds of Ascent Capital’s July issuance of $103,500,000 in aggregate principal amount of 4.00% Senior Convertible Notes due 2020, the proceeds of Monitronics’ July issuance of $175,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of 9.125% Senior Notes due 2020 and the proceeds of incremental term loans of $225,000,000 issued under Monitronics’ existing credit facility.  See note 6, Long-Term Debt for further information on the debt obligations.

Table of Contents

The Security Networks Acquisition was accounted for as a business combination utilizing the acquisition method in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, Business Combinations.  Under the acquisition method of accounting, the Security Networks Purchase Price has been allocated to Security Networks’ tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their preliminary estimates of fair value as follows (amounts in thousands):

The preliminary estimates of fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on available information as of the date of this report and may be revised as additional information becomes available, which primarily includes obtaining the Security Networks final short period federal and state income tax returns for 2013, which are expected to be filed in the second quarter of 2014.

The following table includes unaudited pro forma information for Ascent Capital, which includes the historical operating results of Security Networks prior to ownership by Monitronics. This pro forma information gives effect to certain adjustments, including increased amortization to reflect the fair value assigned to the subscriber accounts and dealer network and other intangible assets acquired and increased interest expense relating to the debt transactions entered into to fund the Security Networks Acquisition. The pro-forma results assume that the Security Networks Acquisition and the debt transactions had occurred on January 1, 2012 for the period presented. They are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that would have occurred if the acquisition had been made at the beginning of the periods presented or that may be obtained in the future.

Convertible Notes

On July 17, 2013, Ascent Capital issued $103,500,000 in aggregate principal amount of 4.00% convertible senior notes due July 15, 2020 (the “Convertible Notes”) in an offering registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.  The Convertible Notes are convertible, under certain circumstances, into cash, shares of Ascent Capital’s Series A common stock, par value $.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), or any combination thereof at Ascent Capital’s election. The Convertible Notes mature on July 15, 2020 and bear interest at a rate per annum of 4.00%.  Interest on the Convertible Notes is payable semi-annually on January 15 and July 15 of each year.

Holders of the Convertible Notes (“Noteholders”) have the right, at their option, to convert all or any portion of such Convertible Notes, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, at an initial conversion rate of 9.7272 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes (subject to adjustment in certain situations), which represents an initial conversion price per share of Common Stock of approximately $102.804 (the “Conversion Price”).  Ascent Capital is entitled to settle any such conversion by delivery of cash, shares of Common Stock or any combination thereof at Ascent’s election. In addition, Noteholders have the right to submit Convertible Notes for conversion, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, in the event of certain corporate transactions.

In the event of a fundamental change (as such term is defined in the indenture governing the Convertible Notes) at any time prior to the maturity date, each Noteholder shall have the right, at such Noteholder’s option, to require Ascent Capital to repurchase for cash any or all of such Noteholder’s Convertible Notes on the repurchase date specified by Ascent Capital at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest, including unpaid additional interest, if any, unless the repurchase date occurs after an interest record date and on or prior to the related interest payment date, as specified in the indenture.

The Convertible Notes are within the scope of FASB ASC Topic 470 Subtopic 20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options (“FASB ASC 470-20”), and as such are required to be separated into a liability and equity component. The carrying amount of the liability component is calculated by measuring the fair value of a similar liability (including any embedded features other than the conversion option) that does not have an associated conversion option. The carrying amount of the equity component is determined by deducting the fair value of the liability component from the initial proceeds ascribed to the Convertible Notes as a whole. The excess of the principal amount of the liability component over its carrying amount, treated as a debt discount, is amortized to interest cost over the expected life of a similar liability that does not have an associated conversion option using the effective interest method. The equity component is not remeasured as long as it continues to meet the conditions for equity classification as prescribed in FASB ASC 815 Subtopic 40, Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (“FASB ASC 815-40”).  Accordingly, upon issuance, the Company estimated fair value of the liability component as $72,764,000, with the remaining excess amount of $30,736,000 allocated to the equity component.

Table of Contents

The Convertible Notes are presented on the consolidated balance sheet as follows (amounts in thousands):

The Company is using an effective interest rate of 10.0% to calculate the accretion of the debt discount, which is being recorded as interest expense over the expected remaining term to maturity of the Convertible Notes.  The Company recognized contractual interest expense of $1,035,000 on the Convertible Notes for the three months ended March 31, 2014.  The Company amortized $805,000 of the Convertible Notes debt discount into interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Hedging Transactions Relating to the Offering of the Convertible Notes

In connection with the issuance of the Convertible Notes, Ascent Capital entered into separate privately negotiated purchased call options (the “Bond Hedge Transactions”).  The Bond Hedge Transactions require the counterparties to offset Common Stock deliverable or cash payments made by Ascent Capital upon conversion of the Convertible Notes in the event that the volume-weighted average price of the Common Stock on each trading day of the relevant valuation period is greater than the strike price of $102.804, which corresponds to the Conversion Price of the Convertible Notes.  The Bond Hedge Transactions cover, subject to anti-dilution adjustments, approximately 1,007,000 shares of Common Stock, which is equivalent to the number of shares initially issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Notes, and are expected to reduce the potential dilution with respect to the Common Stock, and/or offset potential cash payments Ascent Capital is required to make in excess of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes upon conversion.

Concurrently with the Bond Hedge Transactions, Ascent Capital also entered into separate privately negotiated warrant transactions with each of the call option counterparties (the “Warrant Transactions”).  The warrants are European options, and are exercisable in tranches on consecutive trading days starting after the maturity of the Convertible Notes.  The warrants cover the same initial number of shares of Common Stock, subject to anti-dilution adjustments, as the Bond Hedge Transactions.  The Warrant Transactions require Ascent Capital to deliver Common Stock or make cash payments to the counterparties on each expiration date with a value equal to the number of warrants exercisable on that date times the excess of the volume-weighted average price of the Common Stock over the strike price of $118.62, which effectively reflects a 50% conversion premium on the Convertible Notes.  As such, the Warrant Transactions may have a dilutive effect with respect to the Common Stock to the extent the Warrant Transactions are settled with shares of Common Stock. Ascent Capital may elect to settle its delivery obligation under the Warrant Transactions in cash.

The Bond Hedge Transactions and Warrant Transactions are separate transactions entered into by Ascent Capital, are not part of the terms of the Convertible Notes and will not affect the Noteholders’ rights under the Convertible Notes.  The Noteholders will not have any rights with respect to the Bond Hedge Transactions or the Warrant Transactions.

Ascent Capital purchased the bond hedge call option for $20,318,000 and received $14,211,000 in proceeds from the sale of the warrants, resulting in a net cost for the Bond Hedge Transactions and the Warrant Transactions of $6,107,000.  In accordance with FASB ASC 815-40, the fair value of the Bond Hedge and Warrant Transactions was recognized in Additional paid-in capital on the consolidated balance sheet.

Senior Notes

On July 17, 2013, Monitronics closed on a $175,000,000 privately placed debt offering of 9.125% Senior Notes (the “New Senior Notes”).  In December 2013, Monitronics completed an exchange of the New Senior Notes for identical securities in a registered offering under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

The New Senior Notes, together with the $410,000,000 “Existing Senior Notes” (the “Senior Notes”), total $585,000,000 in principal, mature on April 1, 2020 and bear interest at 9.125% per annum.  Interest payments are due semi-annually on April 1 and October 1 of each year.

The Senior Notes are guaranteed by all of Monitronics’ existing domestic subsidiaries.  Ascent Capital has not guaranteed any of Monitronics’ obligations under the Senior Notes.

Credit Facility

On March 25, 2013, Monitronics entered into an amendment (“Amendment No. 2”) with the lenders of its existing senior secured credit agreement dated March 23, 2012, and as amended and restated on November 7, 2012 (the “Existing Credit Agreement”).  Pursuant to Amendment No. 2, Monitronics repriced the interest rates applicable to the Existing Credit Agreement’s facility (the “Repricing”), which is comprised of the term loans and revolving credit facility noted in the table above. Concurrently with the Repricing, Monitronics extended the maturity of the revolving credit facility by nine months to December 22, 2017.

On August 16, 2013, in connection with the Security Networks Acquisition, Monitronics entered into a third amendment (“Amendment No. 3”) to the Existing Credit Agreement to provide for, among other things, (i) an increase in the commitments under the revolving credit facility in a principal amount of $75,000,000, resulting in an aggregate principal amount of $225,000,000, (ii) new term loans in an aggregate principal amount of $225,000,000 (the “Incremental Term Loans”) at a 0.5% discount and (iii) certain other amendments to the Existing Credit Agreement, each as set forth in Amendment No. 3 (the Existing Credit Agreement together with Amendment No. 2 and Amendment No. 3, the “Credit Facility”).

The Credit Facility term loans bear interest at LIBOR plus 3.25%, subject to a LIBOR floor of 1.00%, and mature on March 23, 2018.  Principal payments of approximately $2,292,000 and interest on the term loans are due quarterly.  The Credit Facility revolver bears interest at LIBOR plus 3.75%, subject to a LIBOR floor of 1.00%, and matures on December 22, 2017.  There is an annual commitment fee of 0.50% on unused portions of the Credit Facility revolver.  As of March 31, 2014, $187,500,000 is available for borrowing under the revolving credit facility.

On March 31, 2014, Monitronics borrowed $33,000,000 on the Credit Facility revolver to fund its April 1, 2014 interest payment due under the Senior Notes of approximately $26,691,000 and other business activities.

At any time after the occurrence of an event of default under the Credit Facility, the lenders may, among other options, declare any amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility immediately due and payable and terminate any commitment to make further loans under the Credit Facility.  In addition, failure to comply with restrictions contained in the Senior Notes could lead to an event of default under the Credit Facility.

The Credit Facility is secured by a pledge of all of the outstanding stock of Monitronics and all of its existing subsidiaries and is guaranteed by all of Monitronics’ existing domestic subsidiaries.  Ascent Capital has not guaranteed any of Monitronics’ obligations under the Credit Facility.

As of March 31, 2014, the Company has deferred financing costs, net of accumulated amortization, of $26,179,000 related to the Convertible Notes, the Senior Notes and the Credit Facility. These costs are included in Other assets, net on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and will be amortized over the remaining term of the respective debt instruments using the effective-interest method.

In order to reduce the financial risk related to changes in interest rates associated with the floating rate term loans under the Credit Facility, Monitronics has entered into interest rate swap agreements, with terms similar to the Credit Facility term loans.  On March 25, 2013, Monitronics negotiated amendments to the terms of its existing swap agreements to coincide with the Repricing.  In the third quarter of 2013, Monitronics entered into additional interest rate swap agreements in conjunction with the Incremental Term Loans (all outstanding interest rate swap agreements are collectively referred to as the “Swaps”).

The Swaps have a maturity date of March 23, 2018 to match the term of the Credit Facility term loans.  The Swaps have been designated as effective hedges of the Company’s variable rate debt and qualify for hedge accounting.  See note 7, Derivatives, for further disclosures related to these derivative instruments.  As a result of the Swaps, the interest rate on the borrowings under the Credit Facility term loans have been effectively converted from a variable rate to a weighted average fixed rate of 5.06%.

The terms of the Convertible Senior Notes, the Senior Notes and the Credit Facility provide for certain financial and nonfinancial covenants.  As of March 31, 2014, the Company was in compliance with all required covenants.

(7)                                 Derivatives

The Company utilizes interest rate swap agreements to reduce the interest rate risk inherent in Monitronics’ variable rate Credit Facility term loans.  The valuation of these instruments is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatility. The Company incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements.  See note 8, Fair Value Measurements, for additional information about the credit valuation adjustments.

The Swaps’ outstanding notional balance as of March 31, 2014 and terms are noted below:

(a)         On March 25, 2013, Monitronics negotiated amendments to the terms of these interest rate swap agreements to coincide with the Repricing (the “Amended Swaps”).  The Amended Swaps are held with the same counterparties as the Existing Swap Agreements.  Upon entering into the Amended Swaps, Monitronics simultaneously dedesignated the Existing Swap Agreements and redesignated the Amended Swaps as cash flow hedges for the underlying change in the swap terms.  The amounts previously recognized in Accumulated other comprehensive income relating to the dedesignation will be recognized in Interest expense over the remaining life of the Amended Swaps.

All of the Swaps are designated and qualify as cash flow hedging instruments, with the effective portion of the Swaps change in fair value recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income.  Any ineffective portions of the Swaps change in fair value are recognized in current earnings in Interest expense.  Changes in the fair value of the Swaps recognized in Accumulated other comprehensive income are reclassified to Interest expense when the hedged interest payments on the underlying debt are recognized.  Amounts in Accumulated other comprehensive income expected to be recognized in Interest expense in the coming 12 months total approximately $6,054,000.

(8)                             Fair Value Measurements

According to the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification, fair value is defined as the amount that would be received for selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants and requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value are classified and disclosed in the following three categories:

·                  Level 1 - Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

·                  Level 2 - Quoted prices for similar instruments in active or inactive markets and valuations derived from models where all significant inputs are observable in active markets.

·                  Level 3 - Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs are unobservable in any market.

The following summarizes the fair value level of assets and liabilities that are measured on a recurring basis at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 (amounts in thousands):

(a)         Included in cash and cash equivalents on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

(b)         Level 1 investments primarily consist of diversified corporate bond funds.  The Level 2 security represents one investment in a corporate bond.  All investments are classified as available-for-sale securities.

(c)          Included in Other assets, net on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value the Swaps fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.  The credit valuation adjustments associated with the derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by their counterparties.  As the counterparties have publicly available credit information, the credit spreads over LIBOR used in the calculations represent implied credit default swap spreads

obtained from a third-party credit data provider.  However, as of March 31, 2014, the Company has assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and has determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of the Swaps.  As a result, the Company has determined that its derivative valuations are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Carrying values and fair values of financial instruments that are not carried at fair value are as follows (amounts in thousands):

(a)         The fair value is based on valuations from third party financial institutions and is classified as Level 2 in the hierarchy.

Ascent Capital’s other financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable are carried at cost, which approximates their fair value because of their short-term maturity.

(9)                                 Restructuring Charges

In connection with the Security Networks Acquisition, management approved a restructuring plan to transition Security Networks’ operations in West Palm Beach and Kissimmee, Florida to Dallas, Texas (the “2013 Restructuring Plan”).  The 2013 Restructuring Plan provides certain employees with a severance package that entitles them to benefits upon completion of the transition in 2014.  Severance costs related to the 2013 Restructuring Plan are recognized ratably over the future service period.  During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company recorded $547,000 of restructuring charges related to employee termination benefits.

There were no restructuring charges recorded in continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

In 2008 through 2010, the Company completed a restructuring plan (the “2008 Restructuring Plan”) to align the Company’s organization with its strategic goals and how it operated, managed and sold its services.  The 2008 Restructuring Plan included severance costs from labor cost mitigation measures undertaken across all of the businesses and facility costs in conjunction with the consolidation of certain facilities in the United Kingdom and the closing of the Company’s Mexico operations.
