This note requires annual payments of $510,000 per year starting in April 1998
and bears an interest rate of 10% per annum.
NOTE 7. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS:
Subsequent to September 30, 1998, the Company entered into a letter of intent
and a purchase agreement to purchase the subscriber accounts from certain
competing business music distributors for a total approximate cash consideration
of $14.5 million. The Company has also entered into a letter of intent for
financing of up to $20.0 million, to finance these acquisitions, that will be
secured by the Company's inventories and accounts receivable.
NOTE 8. EUROPEAN JOINT VENTURE:
On April 16, 1998 the Company entered into an agreement with its joint
venture partner in Muzak Europe that effectively liquidated the Company's
interest in Muzak Europe in exchange for a seven year $800,000 promissory
note, which bears interest at eight percent (8%) per annum, and the right of
the Company to participate in five percent (5%) of the business service
revenues of the European venture in its new role as franchisor. No gain or
loss was recognized for this transaction for the nine month period ended
September 30, 1998.
NOTE 9. ACQUISITIONS:
During third quarter of 1998 the Company acquired one of its competitors'
business music distributors for a total consideration of $76,000.
NOTE 10. CREDIT FACILITY:
In March 1998, the Company obtained a credit facility for working capital
purposes with an initial availability of $3.0 million, increasing to
$5.0 million upon the attainment of certain cash flow related targets. In
July of 1998 the Company met the required cash flow targets required to
increase the available cash to $5.0 million. The credit facility is secured
by the inventories and receivables of the Company and expires on September 30,
1999. Amounts outstanding under the facility bear a variable rate of
interest, to be paid quarterly, based on the lender's prime rate or LIBOR
plus 2%. The terms of the credit facility require the Company to maintain
certain performance standards and covenants that, among other things, limit
the Company's capital spending and acquisitions of other businesses, as well

month periods ended September 30, 1998, as compared to $50,000 and $150,000
for the same periods in 1997. This increase reflects the accretion in value

management members during 1997 and management's estimate of the increasing
partnership unit price.
NOTE 12. PURCHASE COMMITMENTS:

MUZAK CAPITAL CORPORATION
NOTE TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Muzak Capital Corporation (the "Company") (formerly Muzak, Inc.), a wholly-
owned subsidiary of Muzak Limited Partnership ("MLP"), was formed on May 8,
1996. The Company filed a registration statement along with MLP for the
underwritten offering of senior notes of which the Company and MLP are
co-issuers. The offering closed in October 1996. The Company is dependent upon
results of operations and cash flow of MLP to meet debt service obligations of
the senior notes. No activity has occurred from May 8, 1996 (date of inception)
through September 30, 1998; therefore, statements of operations and cash flows
have not been included herein.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following should be read in conjunction with Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in the
registrant's Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on
March 31, 1998.
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
When used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or future filings by the
Company, as defined below, and Capital Corp., as defined below, with the
Securities and Exchange Commission, in the Company's and Capital Corp's press
releases or other public communications, or in oral statements made with the
approval of an authorized executive officer, the words or phrases "believes,"
"will likely result," "are expected to," "will continue," "is anticipated,"
"estimate," "project" or similar expressions are intended to identify "forward-
looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995. The Company and Capital Corp. wish to caution readers not
to place undo reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only
as of the date made, and to advise readers that various factors, including rapid
technological change, competitive pricing, concentrations in and dependence on
satellite delivery capabilities, and development of new services could affect
the Company's and Capital Corp.'s financial performance and could cause the
Company's and Capital Corp.'s actual results for future periods to differ
materially from those anticipated or projected.
The Company and Capital Corp. do not undertake and specifically disclaim any
obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect the occurrence of
anticipated or unanticipated events or circumstances after the date of such
statements.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
REVENUES. Total revenues increased 8.9% and 8.3% for the three and nine month
periods ended September 30, 1998, respectively, as compared to the same periods
in 1997. These revenue increases were primarily due to the acquisition of
competitor's music service accounts and one-time equipment and related service
revenues associated with non-acquisition growth. Exclusive of the impact from
acquisitions, our recurring music and other services monthly billing has
increased by approximately $266,000 year to date through September 30, 1998,
whereas the growth in our monthly billing for 1997 was approximately half of
this rate. Each month the Company is billing over $266,000 per month more than
it was at the beginning of the year as a result of the sales of recurring
services made during 1998. Music and other business services revenue increased
by $1.6 and $4.3 million over the three and nine month periods ended September
30, 1998, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 1997. Equipment and
related revenues increased by 5.3% and 5.5% for the three and nine month periods
ended September 30, 1998.
On May 19, 1998, Galaxy 4, the satellite that carries approximately 60% of
the Company's subscribers, had a mechanical failure that caused it to spin
uncontrollably out of orbit. A tremendous amount of resources within the
Company was needed to continue to provide service to our valuable customers,
which involved the repointing to our new satellite, Galaxy 3r of over 100,000
satellite dishes located at customer locations across the country.
This event resulted in additional equipment and related services costs of
$546,000 and $1,120,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30,
1998. Additionally the Company issued music and business services revenue
credits for the one to two week service outage period of $143,000 and
$327,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1998.
The Company also estimates that equipment and related services billings for
installation and service visits were adversely affected by $60,000 and
$526,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1998.
GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit increased 19.2% and 10.2% over the three and nine
month periods ended September 30, 1998, respectively, as compared to the same
periods in 1997. Gross margins for the three and nine month periods ended
September 30, 1998 were 57.3% and 56.8%, respectively, an increase from the
52.4% and 55.8% for the same periods during 1997. The increase in gross profit
is due to the acquisition of our competitors business music service accounts
combined with the increase in the sales of monthly recurring services as
compared to the same period in 1997.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and
administrative expenses, as a percentage of revenues, were 34.3% and 36.2%
for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1998, as compared to
33.4% and 32.9% for the same periods in 1997. The increase for the three
month period is due to increased sales costs incurred to generate the
increases in monthly recurring services billings as compared to the same
period last year. As commissions are paid based on the future value of these
new contracts, these sales costs are incurred prior to the benefits derived
from the recurring revenues. Because of this, as long as the Company
continues to experience high sales levels, sales costs associated with these
recurring sales will continue to negatively impact immediate operating
results. The nine month
period decrease was the result of approximately $750,000 in severance charges
during the second quarter of 1997 related to certain management changes.
EQUITY BASED COMPENSATION. Equity based compensation was $600,000 and
$1,467,000 for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1998, as
compared to $50,000 and $150,000 for the same periods in 1997. This increase
reflects the accretion in value related to options granted under the 1996
amended and restated option plan along with the grant of performance based
options to certain executive management members during 1997 and management's
estimate of the increasing partnership unit price.
DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION. Depreciation and amortization expenses increased
$62,000 for the three month period ended September 30, 1998, and decreased
$783,000 for the nine month period ended September 30, 1998, as compared to the
same periods in 1997. The increase for the three month period is primarily due
to increased amortization expense related to the acquisition of competitor
business music accounts. The decrease for the nine month period was the result
of assets related to the 1992 MLP acquisition of Muzak that were fully
depreciated in the third quarter of 1997.
OTHER INCOME(EXPENSE). Interest expense net of interest income, equity in
losses of joint venture and other income and expense increased $40,000 and
$293,000 for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1998,
respectively, as compared to the same periods during 1997. These increases were
primarily the result of a reduction in interest income as the Company's cash
balance has declined from $17.1 million in September 1997 to $4.4 million for
the same period in 1998. See liquidity and capital resources section.
NET LOSS. Net loss due to the afore mentioned items decreased to $2.5 and
$6.9 million for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1998,
respectively, as compared to $3.4 and $10.4 million for the same periods in
1997.
MUZAK CAPITAL CORPORATION. Muzak Capital Corporation ("Capital Corp."), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, was organized on May 8, 1996, has
nominal assets and conducts no business operations. Capital Corp. has no
independent operations and is dependent on the cash flow of the Company to meet
its sole obligation, the payment of interest and principal on the Senior Notes
when due. A discussion of Capital Corp. has been omitted in the period-to-
period comparison due to its lack of significant assets and lack of operations.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash and cash equivalents decreased from $8.5 million as of December 31, 1997 to
$4.4 million as of September 30, 1998. The Company's operating cash flow during
this period was $12.4 million, including a net change in operating assets and
liabilities of $2.0 million. The operating cash flow was primarily used to fund
capital requirements associated with new subscriber additions and acquisitions
of its competitors' business music accounts.
In March 1998, the Company obtained a credit facility for working capital
purposes with an initial availability of $3.0 million, increasing to
$5.0 million upon the attainment of certain cash flow related targets. In
July of 1998 the Company met the required cash flow targets required to
increase the available cash to $5.0 million. The credit facility is secured
by the inventories and receivables of the Company and expires on September 30,
1999. Amounts outstanding under the facility bear a variable rate of
interest, to be paid quarterly, based on the lender's prime rate or LIBOR
plus 2%. The terms of the credit facility require the Company to maintain
certain performance standards and covenants that, among other things, limit
the Company's capital spending and acquisitions of other businesses, as well
as the Company's ability to incur additional debt and make distributions to
partners. As of September 30, 1998, the Company's had $.3 million outstanding
at an 8.75% interest rate under this credit facility.
In connection with the acquisition of a competitor's business music accounts in
April 1998 the Company signed a $3.0 million promissory note due April 2006.
This note requires annual payments of $510,000 per year starting in April 1998
and bears an interest rate of 10% per annum.
On April 16, 1998, the Company entered into a agreement with its joint venture
partner in Muzak Europe that effectively liquidated the Company's interest in
Muzak Europe in exchange for a seven year $800,000 promissory note, which bears
interest at eight percent (8%) per annum, and the right of the Company to
participate in five percent (5%) of the business service revenues of the
European venture in its new role as franchisor.
On July 10, 1998 EAIC Corp., a formerly wholly owned subsidiary of the
Company, consummated a recapitalization and equity financing agreement
pursuant to which the shares held by the Company became non-voting securities
and 73,500
shares of Class A preferred stock of EAIC Corp., were issued to a related
party investor for a total consideration of $3.4 million which represents a
43% interest. After January 5, 1999, an additional 26,250 shares of Class B
preferred stock can be purchased by the related party investor for 2.5 million
if certain performance criteria is met by EAIC Corp.
In September 1998, the Company entered into a purchase commitment agreement with
a drive-through equipment vendor which guarantees that the Company's owned or
independent affiliates will purchase at least $2.0 million dollars of drive-
through and related equipment by April 30, 1999.
Subsequent to September 30, 1998, the Company entered into a letter of intent
and a purchase agreement to purchase the subscriber accounts from certain
competing business music distributors for a total approximate cash consideration
of $14.5 million.
The Company believes that its cash flows from operations, borrowing availability
and cash on hand will be adequate to support currently planned business
operations, capital expenditures and debt service requirements at least through
December 1999. If the Company engages in one or more material acquisitions,
joint ventures or alliances or other major business initiatives requiring
significant cash commitments, or incurs unanticipated expenses, additional
financing could be required.
YEAR 2000 CONVERSION
The Company is currently in the process of upgrading all of its computer
systems to be year 2000 compliant. Management's original estimate was to
have all of the Company's systems year 2000 compliant by the end of third
quarter 1998. This original goal was not achieved, but management is fully
confident that the Company's systems will be year 2000 compliant by the end
of the year 1999. While currently the Company is not dependent on one vendor
for any one service or supply, failure of one of the broadcast satellites
used by the Company would have a material adverse effect on the Company.
Once the Company's main operating system is converted the Company will be
dependent on the services of the system developer for support of this system.
The Company has received confirmation from all of its satellite space
providers that they are year 2000 compliant. Management is currently
developing a contingency plan to address year 2000 system failures for both
internal and external service providers.
