NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1) Basis of Presentation

These unaudited condensed financial statements are being filed in conformity with Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X regarding interim financial statement disclosure and do not contain all of the necessary footnote disclosures required for a full presentation of the balance sheets, statements of operations and statements of cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. However, in the opinion of management, these statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Partnership’s financial position at June 30, 2013, its statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, and its statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012. Results of operations for these periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year. These financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the Partnership’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Northland Communications Corporation (the General Partner or Northland) manages the operations and is the General Partner of the Partnership under the terms of a Partnership Agreement which will expire on December 31, 2013. The General Partner intends to submit a proxy statement in 2013 that will include a request for an extension of the Partnership term. The extension of the Partnership’s life will require approval from a majority of its limited partners. No assurances can be given that a majority of the limited partners will approve an extension of the Partnership’s life. Given this fact, the Partnership’s ability to continue as a going concern is in substantial doubt at June 30, 2013. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the uncertainty regarding Northland’s ability to extend the life of the Partnership.

Failure to extend the term of the Partnership would result in dissolution of the Partnership at December 31, 2013. The Partnership continues after dissolution solely for the purpose of winding up its activities. In winding up its activities, the Partnership may preserve the business or property as a going concern for a reasonable time and perform other necessary acts; and shall discharge the Partnership’s liabilities, settle and close the Partnership’s activities, and marshal and distribute the assets of the Partnership.

(2) Intangible Assets

The Partnership does not amortize intangible assets determined to have indefinite lives. The Partnership has determined that its franchises meet the definition of indefinite lived assets. The Partnership tests these assets for impairment on an annual basis during the fourth quarter using financial information as of September 30th, or on an interim basis if an event occurs or circumstances change that would indicate the assets might be impaired. The Partnership’s test for impairment that was performed during the fourth quarter of 2012 indicated that the fair value of the assets exceeded their carrying value.

(3) Term Loan

Principal payments are withdrawn by the lender from the Partnership’s bank account as of the last day of each quarter. As June 30, 2013, fell on a Sunday, the final principal payment of $478,376 was withdrawn on Monday, July 1, 2013, representing payment in full of its term loan.

The Partnership follows general accounting standards that require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods as well as in annual financial statements. Due to the variable interest rate the carrying value of the term loan approximates fair value.

(4) Litigation

The Partnership is party to ordinary and routine litigation proceedings that are incidental to the Partnership’s business. Management believes that the outcome of all pending legal proceedings will not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the Partnership, its financial statements, prospects or debt service abilities.

(5) Fair Value of Assets

We measure certain financial assets at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets are traded and the reliability of the inputs used to determine fair value. These levels are:

•

Level 1 - inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

•

Level 2 - quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active.

•

Level 3 - significant inputs are unobservable for the asset or liability.

The following table summarizes the balances of assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2013.


	Total		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3

Cash	$	579,367	$	579,367	$	0	$	0

The following table summarizes the balances of assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2012.


	Total		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3

Cash	$	380,676	$	380,676	$	0	$	0

The Partnership follows the provisions of FASB ASC 820Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. The carrying values of cash and the variable rate term loan approximate fair value.

ITEM 2.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Results of Operations - Six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012

Total video basic subscribers decreased from 3,954 as of June 30, 2012 to 3,764 as of June 30, 2013. The loss in subscribers is a result of several factors including competition from Direct Broadcast Satellite (DBS) providers, availability of off-air signals in the Partnership’s markets and regional and local economic conditions. In its efforts to address this customer trend, the Partnership is increasing its marketing and customer retention efforts and its emphasis on bundling its video, data and phone products.

Revenue totaled $2,258,127 for the six months ended June 30, 2013, an increase of 6% from $2,131,118 for the six months ended June 30, 2012. Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2013 were comprised of the following sources:

•

$1,271,681 (56%) from basic and expanded video services

•

$597,382 (27%) from high speed internet services

•

$50,816 (2%) from premium video services

•

$156,718 (7%) from telephony services

•

$32,465 (1%) from advertising

•

$57,419 (3%) from late fees

•

$91,646 (4%) from other sources

Average monthly revenue per subscriber increased $10.27 or approximately 12% from $87.82 for six months ended June 30, 2012 to $98.09 for the six months ended June 30, 2013. This increase is attributable to rate increases implemented throughout the Partnership’s systems during the first quarter of 2013, increased penetration of new products to existing customers, specifically high-speed Internet and telephony services, and product bundling to new customers. This increase in average monthly revenue per subscriber was offset by the aforementioned decrease in basic subscribers.

Operating expenses, excluding general and administrative, programming and depreciation expense and loss on disposal of assets totaled $257,144 for the six months ended June 30, 2013, an increase of approximately 8% from the same period in 2012. The increase is primarily attributable to an increase in operating salaries offset by a decrease in pole rental expenses.

General and administrative expenses totaled $631,514 for the six months ended June 30, 2013, an increase of approximately 8% from $582,874 for the same period in 2012. This increase is primarily attributable to higher administrative services, audit fees and marketing expenses offset by decreased administrative salaries as a result of an open position.

Programming expenses totaled $887,427 for the six months ended June 30, 2013, an increase of approximately 6% over the same period in 2012. The increase is primarily attributable to higher costs charged by various program suppliers and higher costs associated with the increase in high-speed Internet and telephone subscribers, offset by the aforementioned decrease in video subscribers. Rate increases from program suppliers, as well as new fees due to the launch of additional channels, high-speed Internet and telephone services, will contribute to the trend of increased programming costs in the future.

Depreciation expense totaled $274,534 for the six months ended June 30, 2013, an increase of approximately 5% over the same period in 2012. Depreciation of recent purchases related to the upgrade of plant and equipment was partially offset by certain assets becoming fully depreciated.

Interest expense and amortization of loan fees totaled $9,310 for the six months ended June 30, 2013, a decrease of approximately 40% over the same period in 2012. This decrease is attributable to loan fees becoming fully amortized in the first quarter 2013, along with lower average outstanding indebtedness as a result of required principal payments.

Results of Operations - Three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012

Revenue totaled $1,143,396 for the three months ended June 30, 2013, an increase of 7% from $1,067,004 for the three months ended June 30, 2012. Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2013 were comprised of the following sources:

•

$630,159 (55%) from basic and expanded video services

•

$308,919 (27%) from high speed internet services

•

$25,467 (2%) from premium video services

•

$87,503 (8%) from telephony services

•

$16,426 (1%) from advertising

•

$28,779 (3%) from late fees

•

$46,143 (4%) from other sources

Average monthly revenue per subscriber increased $10.57 or approximately 12% from $88.76 for three months ended June 30, 2012 to $99.33 for the three months ended June 30, 2013. This increase is attributable to rate increases implemented throughout the Partnership’s systems during the first quarter of 2013, increased penetration of new products to existing customers, specifically high-speed Internet and telephony services, and product bundling to new customers. This increase in average monthly revenue per subscriber was offset by the aforementioned decrease in basic subscribers.

Operating expenses, excluding general and administrative, programming and depreciation expense and loss on disposal of assets totaled $132,640 for the three months ended June 30, 2013, an increase of approximately 12% from the same period in 2012. The increase is primarily attributable to an increase in operating salaries offset by a decrease in pole, duct, and site rental expenses.

General and administrative expenses totaled $331,774 for the three months ended June 30, 2013, an increase of approximately 9% from $303,505 for the same period in 2012. This increase is primarily attributable to higher administrative services, audit fees and marketing expenses offset by decreased administrative salaries as a result of an open position.

Programming expenses totaled $452,816 for the three months ended June 30, 2013, an increase of approximately 7% over the same period in 2012. The increase is primarily attributable to higher costs charged by various program suppliers and higher costs associated with the increase in high-speed Internet and telephone subscribers, offset by the aforementioned decrease in video subscribers. Rate increases from program suppliers, as well as new fees due to the launch of additional channels, high-speed Internet and telephone services, will contribute to the trend of increased programming costs in the future.

Depreciation expense totaled $139,356 for the three months ended June 30, 2013, an increase of approximately 7% over the same period in 2012. Depreciation of recent purchases related to the upgrade of plant and equipment was partially offset by certain assets becoming fully depreciated.

Interest expense and amortization of loan fees totaled $3,868 for the three months ended June 30, 2013, a decrease of approximately 48% over the same period in 2012. This decrease is attributable to loan fees becoming fully amortized in first quarter 2013, along with lower average outstanding indebtedness as a result of required principal payments.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Partnership’s primary source of liquidity is cash flow provided by operations. The Partnership generates cash through the monthly billing of subscribers for cable and other services. Based on management’s analysis, the Partnership’s cash flow from operations and cash on hand will be sufficient to cover future operating costs, planned capital expenditures, debt service and working capital needs over the next twelve-month period. On June 30, 2013, the Partnership’s term loan matured. Principal payments are withdrawn by the lender from the Partnership’s bank account as of the last day of each quarter. As June 30, 2013, fell on a Sunday, the final principal payment of $478,376 was withdrawn on Monday, July 1, 2013.

Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $606,224 for the six months ended June 30, 2013. Adjustments to the $200,909 net income for the period to reconcile to net cash provided by operating activities consisted primarily of depreciation of $274,534 and changes in other operating assets and liabilities of $132,338.

Net cash used in investing activities totaled $327,813 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and consisted primarily of purchases of property and equipment.

Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2013 consisted of a $75,000 scheduled principal payment and $4,720 in distribution on behalf of limited partners for tax purposes.

Term Loan

In December 2012, the Partnership agreed to certain terms and conditions with its existing lender and amended its credit agreement. The terms of the amendment extend the maturity date to June 30, 2013. Interest rates are based on the Adjusted LIBOR Rate, plus a margin of 3.0 percent per annum. The term loan is collateralized by a first lien position on all present and future assets of the Partnership. As of June 30, 2013, the balance under the credit facility was $478,376 at a LIBOR based interest rate of 3.19%. Principal payments are withdrawn by the lender from the Partnership’s bank account as of the last day of each quarter. As June 30, 2013, fell on a Sunday, the final principal payment of $478,376 was withdrawn on Monday, July 1, 2013, representing payment in full of its term loan.

Obligations and Commitments

In addition to working capital needs for ongoing operations, the Partnership has capital requirements for annual maturities related to the refinanced credit facility and required minimum operating lease payments. The following table summarizes the Partnership’s contractual obligations as of June 30, 2013:


			Payments Due By Period
	Total		Less than 1 year		1 – 3 Years		3 – 5 years		More than 5 years

Term Loan		478,376		478,376		0		0		0

Minimum operating lease payments		86,640		6,420		2,520		2,400		75,300


Total	$	565,016	$	484,796	$	2,520	$	2,400	$	75,300

(a)

These contractual obligations do not include accounts payable and accrued liabilities, which are expected to be paid in 2013.

(b)

The Partnership also rents utility poles in its operations. Amounts due under these agreements are not included in the above minimum operating lease payments as pole rentals are based on pole usage and are cancelable on short notice. The Partnership does however anticipate that such rentals will recur. Pole rental expense was $121,902 in 2012.

Capital Expenditures

During the first six months of 2013, the Partnership paid $330,377 for capital expenditures. These expenditures included continued upgrades to both systems to expand and maintain the high speed data service capabilities, customer premise equipment to provide services and a new vehicle.

Management has estimated that the Partnership will spend approximately $320,000 on capital expenditures during the remainder of 2013. Planned expenditures include the continuation of the expansion of high speed data capacity in both systems, potential line extension opportunities, and customer premise equipment to provide services. The level of future capital spending will be dependent on the Partnership’s available cash on hand.

Critical Accounting Policies

This discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based on the Partnership’s financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following critical accounting policies require a more significant amount of management judgment than other accounting policies the Partnership employs.

Revenue Recognition

Cable television service revenue, including service and maintenance, is recognized in the month service is provided to customers. Advance payments on cable services to be rendered are recorded as subscriber prepayments and deferred. Revenues resulting from the sale of local spot advertising are recognized when the related advertisements or commercials appear before the public.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Costs of additions and substantial improvements, which include materials, labor, and other indirect costs associated with the construction of cable transmission and distribution facilities, are capitalized. Indirect costs include employee salaries and benefits, travel and other costs. These costs are estimated based on historical information and analysis. The Partnership performs evaluations of these estimates as warranted by events or changes in circumstances.

The Partnership capitalizes costs associated with initial customer installations. The costs of disconnecting service or reconnecting service to previously installed locations is expensed in the period incurred. Costs for repairs and maintenance are also charged to operating expense, while equipment replacements, including the replacement of drops, are capitalized.

Intangible Assets

Management believes the franchises have indefinite lives because the franchises are expected to be used by the Partnership for the foreseeable future as determined based on an analysis of all pertinent factors, including changes in legal, regulatory or contractual provisions and effects of obsolescence, demand and competition. In addition, the level of maintenance expenditures required to obtain the future cash flows expected from the franchises is not material in relation to the carrying value of the franchises. While the franchises have defined lives based on the franchising authority, renewals are routinely granted, and management expects them to continue to be granted. This expectation is supported by management’s experience with the Partnership’s franchising authorities and the franchising authorities of the Partnership’s affiliates.

ITEM 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Partnership is subject to market risks arising from changes in interest rates. The Partnership’s primary interest rate exposure results from changes in the LIBOR rate, which is used to determine the interest rate applicable to the Partnership’s debt facility. The Partnership has from time to time entered into interest rate swap agreements to partially hedge interest rate exposure. Interest rate swaps have the effect of converting the applicable variable rate obligations to fixed or other variable rate obligations. As of the date of this filing, the Partnership is not involved in any interest rate swap agreements.

Controls and Procedures

The Partnership maintains disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. The Chief Executive Officer and President (Principal Financial and Accounting Officer) of the Managing General Partner have evaluated these disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q and have determined that such disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
