NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

 

(1) Interim Financial Statements

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been omitted pursuant to the SEC rules and regulations. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations for the periods indicated.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and include the consolidated accounts of Beasley Broadcast Group, Inc. (the “Company”) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2005 has been derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005. The financial statements and related notes included in this report should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005.

Results of the first quarter of 2006 are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.

Certain amounts previously reported in the 2005 condensed consolidated condensed financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2006 presentation.

 

(2) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections. SFAS 154 replaces APB Opinion 20, Accounting Changes and SFAS 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements, and changes the requirements for the accounting for, and reporting of, a change in accounting principle. SFAS applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle and to changes required by an accounting pronouncement that does not include specific transition provisions. SFAS 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of changes in accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. SFAS 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS 154 with no material impact on its earnings or financial position.

 

(3) Stock-Based Compensation

As of March 31, 2006, the Company had one stock-based compensation plan. The 2000 Equity Plan of Beasley Broadcast Group, Inc. (the “Plan”) permits the grant of stock options, restricted stock and other stock-based awards to employees and directors for up to 4 million shares of Class A common stock. Stock option awards are generally granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company’s shares at the date of grant; those stock option awards generally vest based on three to five years of service and have 10-year contractual terms. However, some stock option awards contain performance-related provisions that may delay vesting beyond five years but no longer than seven years after the date of grant. Restricted stock awards generally vest based on three to five years of service.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)—(Continued)

 

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS 123(R), Share-Based Payment using the modified prospective transition method. Under this method, the stock-based compensation recognized beginning January 1, 2006 includes compensation cost for (i) all stock-based awards granted prior to, but not vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value originally estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and (ii) all stock-based awards granted subsequent to January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123(R). Prior periods are not restated under this transition method. In addition, in accordance with SFAS123(R), the Company is required to estimate the amount of expected forfeitures when calculating compensation cost, instead of accounting for forfeitures as incurred, which was the Company’s previous method.

Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for the Plan under the recognition and measurement principles of APB 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, as permitted by SFAS 123. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and net income per share as if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123 to stock-based compensation.

The fair value of each stock option award was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on the assumptions noted in the following table. Expected volatility was based on implied and historical volatility of the Company’s common stock. The Company uses historical data to estimate stock option exercise and employee departure behavior used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The expected term of stock options granted represents the period of time that stock options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury rates in effect for the contractual term at the time of grant. No stock option awards were granted during the three months ended March 31, 2006.

As of March 31, 2006, there was $0.5 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options granted under the Plan. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.9 years.

Cash received from stock option exercises for the three months ended March 31, 2005 was $24,750. The actual tax benefit realized for the tax deductions from the option exercise totaled $11,330.

That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.2 years. The total fair value of shares vested during the three months ended March 31, 2006 was $1.2 million.

Prior to January 1, 2006, unearned compensation related to the restricted stock grants was recorded as a component of stockholders’ equity based on the closing stock price on the grant date. Compensation expense was being recognized over the respective vesting period of each award. Upon the adoption of SFAS 123(R), the Company was required to charge the $2.7 million of unearned compensation as of December 31, 2005 against additional paid-in capital.

The Company intends to finance this acquisition with cash on hand and borrowings under its existing credit facility.

At the Company’s election, the revolving credit loan and term loan may bear interest at either the base rate or LIBOR plus a margin that is determined by the Company’s debt to operating cash flow ratio. The base rate is equal to the higher of the prime rate or the overnight federal funds rate plus 0.5%. Interest on base rate loans is payable quarterly through maturity. Interest on LIBOR loans is payable on the last day of the selected LIBOR period and, if the selected period is longer than three months, every three months after the beginning of the LIBOR period. The revolving credit loan and term loan carried interest, based on LIBOR, at 5.4375% and 5.8421% as of December 31, 2005 and March 31, 2006, respectively, and mature on June 30, 2013. The scheduled reductions in the amount available under the revolving credit loan may require principal repayments if the outstanding balance at that time exceeds the maximum amount available under the revolving credit loan.

As of March 31, 2006, the Company had $77.0 million in remaining commitments available under its credit facility; however, as of March 31, 2006, the Company’s maximum consolidated total debt covenant would have limited additional borrowings to $56.4 million.

The amended credit facility is secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets and guaranteed jointly and severally by all of the Company’s subsidiaries. The guarantees were issued to the Company’s lenders for repayment of the outstanding balance of the credit facility. If the Company defaults under the terms of the credit facility, the subsidiaries may be required to perform under their guarantees. The maximum amount of undiscounted payments the subsidiaries would have to make in the event of default is $142.4 million. The guarantees for the revolving credit loan and term loan expire on June 30, 2013.

The Company is required to satisfy financial covenants, which require it to maintain specified financial ratios and to comply with financial tests, such as ratios for maximum consolidated total debt, minimum interest coverage and minimum fixed charges. As of March 31, 2006, these financial covenants included:

 

    Maximum Consolidated Total Debt Ratio. As of March 31, 2006, the Company’s consolidated total debt must not have exceeded 6.0 times its consolidated operating cash flow for the four quarters then ending (as those terms are defined in the amended credit agreement). On the last day of each fiscal quarter for the period from April 1, 2006 through December 31, 2007, the maximum ratio remains 6.0 times. On the last day of each fiscal quarter for the period from January 1, 2008 through December 31, 2008, the maximum ratio is 5.5 times; on the last day of each fiscal quarter for the period from January 1, 2009 through December 31, 2009, the maximum ratio is 5.0 times; on the last day of each fiscal quarter for all periods after January 1, 2010, the maximum ratio is 4.5 times.

 

    Minimum Interest Coverage Ratio. The Company’s consolidated operating cash flow for the four quarters ending on the last day of each quarter must not have been less than 2.0 times the amount of its consolidated cash interest expense for such four quarter period.

 

    Minimum Fixed Charge Ratio. The Company’s consolidated operating cash flow for any four consecutive quarters must not be less than 1.1 times the amount of its consolidated fixed charges for such four quarter period. Fixed charges include cash interest expense, cash tax expense, cash dividends, capital expenditures and scheduled principal repayments.

Failure to comply with these financial covenants, scheduled interest payments, scheduled principal repayments, or any other terms of its amended credit facility could result in the acceleration of the maturity of its outstanding debt. The Company believes that it will have sufficient liquidity and capital resources to permit it to meet its financial obligations for at least the next twelve months.

As of March 31, 2006, management of the Company believed it was in compliance with applicable financial covenants.

 

(6) Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate is approximately 40%, which differs from the federal statutory rate of 34% due to the effect of state income taxes and certain expenses that are not deductible for tax purposes.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

You should read the following discussion together with the financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this report. The results discussed below are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected in any future periods. This report contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. All statements other than statements of historical fact are “forward-looking statements” for purposes of federal and state securities laws, including any projections of earnings, revenues or other financial items; any statements of the plans, strategies and objectives of management for future operations; any statements concerning proposed new services or developments; any statements regarding future economic conditions or performance; any statements of belief; and any statements of assumptions underlying any of the foregoing. Forward-looking statements may include the words “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “intend,” “continue,” “believe,” “expect” or “anticipate” and other similar words. Such forward-looking statements may be contained in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” among other places. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in any of our forward-looking statements are reasonable, actual results could differ materially from those projected or assumed in any of our forward-looking statements. Our future financial condition and results of operations, as well as any forward-looking statements, are subject to change and to inherent risks and uncertainties, such as unforeseen events that would cause us to broadcast commercial-free for any period of time, and changes in the radio broadcasting industry generally. We do not intend, and undertake no obligation, to update any forward-looking statement. Key risks to our company are described in our annual report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 10, 2006.

General

We own and operate 41 radio stations in the following ten markets: Atlanta, GA, Boston, MA, Philadelphia, PA, Miami-Ft. Lauderdale, FL, Las Vegas, NV, West Palm Beach-Boca Raton, FL, Ft. Myers-Naples, FL, Fayetteville, NC, Greenville-New Bern-Jacksonville, NC, and Augusta, GA. We refer to each group of radio stations that we own in each radio market as a market cluster.

Recent Developments

In March 2006, we entered into a definitive asset purchase agreement to acquire KDWN-AM in Las Vegas, NV for approximately $17.0 million. We expect to complete this acquisition during the third quarter of 2006 however; it is subject to certain conditions, including FCC approval. We intend to finance this acquisition with cash on hand and borrowings under our existing credit facility.

Financial Statement Presentation

The following discussion provides a brief description of certain key items that appear in our consolidated financial statements and general factors that impact these items.

Net Revenue. Our net revenue is primarily derived from the sale of advertising airtime to local and national advertisers. Net revenue is gross revenue less agency commissions. Local revenue generally consists of advertising airtime sales to advertisers in a radio station’s local market either directly to the advertiser or through the advertiser’s agency. National revenue generally consists of advertising airtime sales to agencies purchasing advertising for multiple markets. National sales are generally facilitated by our national representation firm, which serves as our agent in these transactions.

The advertising rates that we are able to charge and the number of advertisements that we can broadcast without jeopardizing listener levels generally determine our net revenue. Advertising rates are primarily based on the following factors:

 

    a radio station’s audience share in the demographic groups targeted by advertisers as measured principally by quarterly reports issued by the Arbitron Ratings Company;

 

12


Table of Contents
    the number of radio stations, as well as other forms of media, in the market competing for the attention of the same demographic groups;

 

    the supply of, and demand for, radio advertising time; and

 

    the size of the market.

Our net revenue is affected by general economic conditions, competition and our ability to improve operations at our market clusters. Seasonal revenue fluctuations are also common in the radio broadcasting industry and are primarily due to variations in advertising expenditures by local and national advertisers. Our revenues are typically lowest in the first calendar quarter of the year.

We use trade sales agreements to reduce cash paid for expenses by exchanging advertising airtime for goods or services; however, we endeavor to minimize trade revenue in order to maximize cash revenue from our available airtime. The following summary table presents a comparison of our trade sales revenue and expenses.

 

     Three months ended March 31,
             2005                    2006        

Trade sales revenue

   $ 1,257,430    $ 781,856

Trade sales expenses

   $ 1,036,898    $ 840,667

Costs and Expenses. Our costs and expenses consist primarily of (1) programming, engineering, and promotional expenses, reported as cost of services, and selling, general and administrative expenses incurred at our radio stations, (2) general and administrative expenses, including compensation and other expenses, incurred at our corporate offices, (3) stock-based compensation, and (4) depreciation and amortization. We strive to control our operating expenses by centralizing certain functions at our corporate offices and consolidating certain functions in each of our market clusters.

Income Taxes. Our effective tax rate is approximately 40%, which differs from the federal statutory rate of 34% due to the effect of state income taxes and certain of our expenses that are not deductible for tax purposes.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and related disclosures. We consider an accounting estimate to be critical if:

 

    it requires assumptions to be made that were uncertain at the time the estimate was made; and

 

    changes in the estimate or different estimates that could have been selected could have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

Impairment of FCC Broadcasting Licenses and Goodwill. We are required to estimate the fair value of our FCC broadcasting licenses and reporting units on at least an annual basis. We combine our FCC broadcasting licenses into single units of accounting based on our market clusters for impairment testing purposes. To assist in estimating the fair value of our FCC broadcasting licenses as of December 31, 2005, we obtained appraisals from an independent appraisal company. The appraisal company estimated the fair values of our FM licenses using discounted future cash flows and the fair values of our AM licenses using a market valuation approach. The appraisal includes several assumptions and estimates including the determination of future cash flows and an appropriate discount rate. If the appraisal company had made different assumptions or used different estimates, including those used to determine future cash flows and the discount rate, the fair value of our FCC broadcasting licenses could have been materially different. For the purpose of testing our goodwill for impairment, we have identified our market clusters as our reporting units. We used internally-generated estimates of future cash flows to determine the fair value of each reporting unit as of December 31, 2005. These estimates required management

 

13


Table of Contents

judgment and if we had made different assumptions the fair value of our reporting units could have been materially different. There can be no assurance that impairment of our FCC broadcasting licenses or goodwill will not occur in future periods.

Impairment of Property and Equipment. We are required to assess the recoverability of our property and equipment whenever an event has occurred that may result in an impairment loss. If such an event occurs, we will compare estimates of related future undiscounted cash flows to the carrying amount of the asset. If the future undiscounted cash flow estimates are less than the carrying amount of the asset, we will reduce the carrying amount to the estimated fair value. The determination of when an event has occurred and estimates of future cash flows and fair value all require management judgment. The use of different assumptions or estimates may result in alternative assessments that could be materially different. We did not identify any events that may have resulted in an impairment loss on our property and equipment during the three months ended March 31, 2006. There can be no assurance that impairment of our property and equipment will not occur in future periods.

Valuation of Accounts Receivable. We continually evaluate our ability to collect our accounts receivable. Our ongoing evaluation includes review of specific accounts at our radio stations, the current financial condition of our customers and our historical write-off experience. This ongoing evaluation requires management judgment and if we had made different assumptions about these factors, the allowance for doubtful accounts could have been materially different.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections. SFAS 154 replaces APB Opinion 20, Accounting Changes and SFAS 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements, and changes the requirements for the accounting for, and reporting of, a change in accounting principle. SFAS applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle and to changes required by an accounting pronouncement that does not include specific transition provisions. SFAS 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of changes in accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. SFAS 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted SFAS 154 with no material impact on our earnings or financial position.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2006 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2005

The following summary table presents a comparison of our results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2006 with respect to certain of our key financial measures. These changes illustrated in the table are discussed in greater detail below. This section should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes to condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of this report.

 

     Three months ended March 31,    Change  
     2005    2006    $     %  

Net revenue

   $ 28,636,183    $ 27,079,319    $ (1,556,864 )   (5.4 )%

Net Revenue. The $1.6 million decrease in net revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2006 was due to weaker performance at nine of our ten market clusters and included a $0.4 million decrease at our Miami-Ft. Lauderdale market cluster, which consisted of a $0.9 million decrease at one radio station due to increased competition that was partially offset by a $0.5 million increase at another radio station due to improved performance in that market. The decrease in net revenue also includes a $0.3 million decrease at our Las Vegas

Table of Contents

market cluster and a $0.3 million decrease at our Greenville-New Bern-Jacksonville market cluster. In addition, net revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2006 includes an aggregate $0.5 million decrease in trade sales revenue from our market clusters due to our continued efforts to reduce the non-cash use of our available airtime.

Cost of Services. The $0.6 million decrease in cost of services during the three months ended March 31, 2006 was primarily due to a $0.9 million decrease at our Miami-Ft. Lauderdale market cluster due to a decrease in promotional expenses related to certain events and decreased contractual costs related to the termination of certain on-air personalities. This decrease was partially offset by a $0.5 million increase at our Las Vegas market cluster due to increased promotional expenses related to a format change at one of our radio stations in that market.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. The $1.7 million decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2006 was primarily due to the absence of $1.4 million of employee separation costs at our Philadelphia market cluster incurred in 2005 and decreased sales commissions, as a result of the decrease in net revenue at our market clusters.

Stock-Based Compensation. On July 1, 2005, we began granting shares of restricted stock under our 2000 Equity Plan to certain employees and recorded $0.4 million of stock-based compensation expense related to these grants during the three months ended year ended March 31, 2006. In addition, effective January 1, 2006 we adopted SFAS 123(R), which requires entities to recognize the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments based on the grant date fair value of those awards. As a result of the adoption of SFAS 123(R), we recorded $0.1 million of stock-based compensation during the three months ended March 31, 2006 related to previous grants of stock options.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview. Our primary sources of liquidity are internally generated cash flow and our credit facility. Our primary liquidity needs have been, and for the next twelve months and thereafter are expected to continue to be, for working capital, debt service, and other general corporate purposes, including capital expenditures. Historically, our capital expenditures have not been significant. In addition to property and equipment associated with radio station acquisitions, our capital expenditures have generally been, and are expected to continue to be, related to the maintenance of our studio and office space and the technological improvement, including upgrades necessary to broadcast HD Radio, and maintenance of our broadcasting equipment. We have also purchased or constructed office and studio space in some of our markets to facilitate the consolidation of our operations. Other liquidity needs for the next twelve months and thereafter may also include additional share repurchases, cash dividends and radio station acquisitions. Our credit agreement permits us to repurchase up to $50.0 million of our common stock and our board of directors has authorized us to repurchase up to $25.0 million of our common stock. As of May 2, 2006, we have repurchased $3.9 million of our Class A common stock. Our amended credit agreement also permits us to pay dividends on our common stock in an amount up to an aggregate of $10.0 million per year. During the three months ended March 31, 2006, we paid $1.5 million for cash dividends. On March 8, 2006, our board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.0625 per share on our Class A and Class B common stock. The dividend was paid on April 20, 2006, to stockholders of record on March 31, 2006. We expect to provide for future liquidity needs through one or a combination of the following sources of liquidity:

 

    internally generated cash flow;

 

    our credit facility;

 

    additional borrowings, other than under our existing credit facility, to the extent permitted thereunder; and

 

    additional equity offerings.

 

15


Table of Contents

We believe that we will have sufficient liquidity and capital resources to permit us to provide for our liquidity requirements and meet our financial obligations for the foreseeable future. However, poor financial results, unanticipated acquisition opportunities or unanticipated expenses could give rise to additional debt servicing requirements or other additional financing or liquidity requirements sooner than we expect and we may not secure financing when needed or on acceptable terms.

As of March 31, 2006, we held $14.1 million in cash and cash equivalents and had $77.0 million in remaining commitments available under our credit facility; however, as of March 31, 2006, our maximum total leverage covenant would have limited additional borrowings to $56.4 million. Our ability to reduce our total leverage ratio by increasing operating cash flow and/or decreasing long-term debt will determine how much, if any, of the remaining commitments under the revolving portion of our credit facility will be available to us in the future. Poor financial results or unanticipated expenses could result in our failure to maintain or lower our total leverage ratio and we may not be permitted to make any additional borrowings under the revolving portion of our credit facility. We anticipate making additional share repurchases and future dividend payments instead of repaying indebtedness with such funds and if we incur additional indebtedness in order to make such repurchases or dividend payments, our total debt ratio may be adversely affected and we may not be permitted to make additional borrowings under the revolving portion of our credit facility.

The following summary table presents a comparison of our capital resources for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2006 with respect to certain of our key measures affecting our liquidity. The changes set forth in the table are discussed in greater detail below. This section should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes to condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of this report.

 

     Three months ended March 31,  
     2005     2006  

Net cash provided by operating activities

   $ 5,056,741     $ 3,464,569  

Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities

     216,692       (701,091 )

Net cash used in financing activities

     (2,975,250 )     (4,926,810 )
                

Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents

   $ 2,298,183     $ (2,163,332 )
                

Net Cash Provided By Operating Activities. Net cash provided by operating activities decreased by 31.5% during the three months ended March 31, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005 primarily due to $1.6 million increase in cash paid for station operating expenses and a $0.7 million decrease in cash receipts from the sale of advertising airtime. These decreases were partially offset by a $0.7 million decrease in cash paid for income taxes during 2006.

Net Cash Provided By (Used In) Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2006 was primarily due to cash payments for capital expenditures of $0.7 million. Net cash provided by investing activities for the same period in 2005 was primarily due to cash proceeds of $0.6 million from the sale of a building in Augusta, GA, which were partially offset by cash payments for capital expenditures of $0.4 million.

Net Cash Used In Financing Activities. Net cash used in financing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2006 was primarily due to voluntary repayments of $2.0 million of borrowings under our credit facility, cash dividends of $1.5 million and $1.2 million for repurchases of our Class A common stock. Net cash used in financing activities in the same period in 2005 was primarily due to voluntary repayments of $3.0 million of borrowings under our credit facility.

Credit Facility. On January 30, 2006, we amended our credit agreement. The amended credit facility consists of a revolving credit loan with a maximum commitment of $119.4 million and a term loan of $100.0 million. The revolving credit loan includes a $10.0 million sub-limit for letters of credit, which may be increased to $20.0 million upon our request and with the approval of the Bank of Montreal, Chicago Branch in its capacity

as a letter of credit issuer. At our election, the revolving credit loan and term loan may bear interest at either the base rate or LIBOR plus a margin that is determined by our debt to operating cash flow ratio. The base rate is equal to the higher of the prime rate or the overnight federal funds rate plus 0.5%. Interest on base rate loans is payable quarterly through maturity. Interest on LIBOR loans is payable on the last day of the selected LIBOR period and, if the selected period is longer than three months, every three months after the beginning of the LIBOR period. The revolving credit loan and term loan carried interest, based on LIBOR, at 5.4375% and 5.8421% as of December 31, 2005 and March 31, 2006, respectively, and mature on June 30, 2013. The scheduled reductions in the amount available under the revolving credit loan may require principal repayments if the outstanding balance at that time exceeds the maximum amount available under the revolving credit loan.

The amended credit facility is secured by substantially all of our assets and guaranteed jointly and severally by all of our subsidiaries. The guarantees were issued to our lenders for repayment of the outstanding balance of the credit facility. If we default under the terms of the credit facility, the subsidiaries may be required to perform under their guarantees. The maximum amount of undiscounted payments the subsidiaries would have to make in the event of default is $142.4 million. The guarantees for the revolving credit loan and term loan expire on June 30, 2013.

As of March 31, 2006, the scheduled repayments of the credit facility for the remainder of fiscal 2006 and the next four years and thereafter are as follows:

Total

   $ 42,375,000    $ 100,000,000    $ 142,375,000
                    

We must pay a quarterly unused commitment fee equal to 0.375% on the unused portion of the revolving credit loan. For the three months ended March 31, 2006, our unused commitment fee was approximately $71,000.

We are required to satisfy financial covenants, which require us to maintain specified financial ratios and to comply with financial tests, such as ratios for maximum consolidated total debt, minimum interest coverage and minimum fixed charges. As of March 31, 2006, these financial covenants included:

 

    Maximum Consolidated Total Debt Ratio. As of March 31, 2006, our consolidated total debt must not have exceeded 6.0 times its consolidated operating cash flow for the four quarters then ending (as those terms are defined in the amended credit agreement). On the last day of each fiscal quarter for the period from April 1, 2006 through December 31, 2007, the maximum ratio remains 6.0 times. On the last day of each fiscal quarter for the period from January 1, 2008 through December 31, 2008, the maximum ratio is 5.5 times; on the last day of each fiscal quarter for the period from January 1, 2009 through December 31, 2009, the maximum ratio is 5.0 times; on the last day of each fiscal quarter for all periods after January 1, 2010, the maximum ratio is 4.5 times.

 

    Minimum Interest Coverage Ratio. Our consolidated operating cash flow for the four quarters ending on the last day of each quarter must not have been less than 2.0 times the amount of its consolidated cash interest expense for such four quarter period.

 

    Minimum Fixed Charge Ratio. Our consolidated operating cash flow for any four consecutive quarters must not be less than 1.1 times the amount of its consolidated fixed charges for such four quarter period. Fixed charges include cash interest expense, cash tax expense, capital expenditures, agency and commitment fees and scheduled principal repayments.

Table of Contents

As of March 31, 2006, we were in compliance with all applicable financial covenants. As of March 31, 2006, as calculated pursuant to the terms of our amended credit agreement, our consolidated total debt ratio was 4.30 times consolidated operating cash flow, our interest coverage ratio was 4.84 times interest expense, and our fixed charge coverage ratio was 1.63 times fixed charges.

Failure to comply with these financial covenants, to make scheduled interest payments or scheduled principal repayments, or to comply with any other terms of our credit facility could result in the acceleration of the maturity of our debt outstanding thereunder, which could have a material adverse effect on our business or results of operations.

The credit facility also contains other customary restrictive covenants. These covenants limit our ability to: incur additional indebtedness and liens; enter into certain investments or joint ventures; consolidate, merge or effect asset sales; enter sale and lease-back transactions; sell or discount accounts receivable; enter into transactions with affiliates or stockholders; or change the nature of our business.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices. Our primary exposure to market risk is interest rate risk associated with our credit facility. As of March 31, 2006, all of our long-term debt bears interest at variable rates. Accordingly, our earnings are affected by changes in interest rates. Assuming the current level of borrowings at variable rates and assuming a one-percentage point increase in the current interest rate under these borrowings, we estimate that our annualized interest expense would increase by $1.2 million and our net income would decrease by $0.8 million. In the event of an adverse change in interest rates, management may take actions to mitigate our exposure. However, due to the uncertainty of the actions that would be taken and their possible effects, this interest rate analysis assumes no such actions. Further, the analysis does not consider the effects of the change in the level of overall economic activity that could exist in such an environment.

As of March 31, 2006, we are a party to five interest rate swap agreements with a $75.0 million aggregate notional amount. These agreements expire from May to August 2006. As of March 31, 2006, the fair value of these agreements was a current asset of $0.6 million.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and, management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

As of March 31, 2006, the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

There has been no significant change in our internal controls over financial reporting during the Company’s first fiscal quarter of 2006 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.
