SPANISH BROADCASTING SYSTEM, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. | Basis of Presentation |
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of Spanish Broadcasting System, Inc. and
its subsidiaries (the Company). All intercompany
balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements as of December 31, 2004 and March 31, 2005,
and for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2004 and
2005 do not contain all disclosures required by generally
accepted accounting principles. These unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of
and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 included in
the Companys fiscal year end 2004 Annual Report on
Form 10-K.
In the opinion of the Companys management, the
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements contain all adjustments, which are all of a normal
and recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the
results of the interim periods. The results of operations for
the three-month period ended March 31, 2005 is not
necessarily indicative of the results for a full year.
2. | Financial Information for Parent, Guarantor and Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries |
Certain of the Companys subsidiaries (collectively, the
Subsidiary Guarantors) have guaranteed the
Companys
95/8% senior
subordinated notes due 2009 on a joint and several basis. The
Company has not included separate financial statements of the
Subsidiary Guarantors because (i) all of the Subsidiary
Guarantors are wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company and
(ii) the guarantees issued by the Subsidiary Guarantors are
full and unconditional. The Company has not included separate
parent-only financial statements since the parent (Spanish
Broadcasting System, Inc., a Delaware corporation) is a holding
company with no independent assets or operations other than its
investments in its subsidiaries. All Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) licenses are held by special
purpose subsidiaries formed solely for the purpose of holding
each respective FCC license and/or non-guarantor subsidiaries.
All of the special purpose subsidiaries are non-guarantors of
the
95/8% senior
subordinated notes due 2009. Condensed consolidating

3. | New Accounting Pronouncements |
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) issued FASB Statement No. 123 (revised
2004), Share-Based Payment
(SFAS No. 123R), which is a revision of
SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation (SFAS No. 123).
SFAS No. 123R requires companies to expense the
grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity-based
compensation issued to employees. The Company is required to
adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 123R on
January 1, 2006. The Company is evaluating the requirements
of SFAS No. 123R and has not yet determined the method
of adoption or the effect of adopting SFAS No. 123R,
and has not determined whether the adoption will result in
amounts that are similar to the current pro forma disclosures
under SFAS No. 123 in Note 5 (d).
4. | Assets Held for Sale |
On August 17, 2004, the Company entered into an asset
purchase agreement with Styles Media Group, LLC (Styles
Media Group), to sell the assets of radio stations KZAB-FM
and KZBA-FM, serving the Los Angeles, California market, for a
cash purchase price of $120.0 million. In connection with
this agreement, Styles Media Group made a non-refundable
$6.0 million deposit on the purchase price. On
February 18, 2005, Styles Media Group exercised its right
under the agreement to extend the closing date until
March 31, 2005, by releasing the deposit to the Company
from escrow.
On March 30, 2005, the Company entered into an amendment to
the asset purchase agreement with Styles Media Group. In
connection with this amendment, Styles Media Group made an
additional $14.0 million non-refundable deposit on the
purchase price and the Company agreed to extend the closing date
from March 31, 2005 to the later date of July 31, 2005
or five days following the grant of the FCC Final Order.
Although the Company expects the sale of the Los Angeles
stations to be completed, there can be no assurance that such
sale will be completed.
On August 17, 2004, Spanish Broadcasting System SouthWest,
Inc. entered into a time brokerage agreement with Styles Media
Group pursuant to which Styles Media Group was permitted to
begin broadcasting its programming on radio stations KZAB-FM and
KZBA-FM beginning on September 20, 2004. The time brokerage
agreement will terminate upon the closing under, or termination
of, the asset purchase agreement.

SPANISH BROADCASTING SYSTEM, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
The Company determined that, since it was not eliminating all
significant revenues and expenses generated in this market, the
pending sale of these stations did not meet the criteria to
classify the stations operations as discontinued
operations. However, the Company reclassified the stations
assets as held for sale. On March 31, 2005, the Company had
assets held for sale consisting of $63.5 million of
intangible assets and $1.1 million of property and
equipment for radio stations KZAB-FM and KZBA-FM.
Pursuant to the credit agreement governing our senior secured
credit facilities, the net cash proceeds received from these
sales, when and if completed, must be offered to the noteholders
to repay our borrowings under the senior secured credit
facilities. Therefore, the Company has reclassified the senior
secured credit facilities balance from long-term debt to current
debt.
If, prior to the closing of the proposed asset sale, the
existing senior secured credit facilities are replaced with the
new senior secured credit facilities described in
Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Liquidity and Capital Resources, the Company intends to
use the net cash proceeds received from the asset sale to repay
certain amounts under the new senior secured credit facilities.
If the proposed asset sale does not close, the Company will be
unable to use the anticipated proceeds from such sale to reduce
its debt.
5. | Stockholders Equity |
(a) | Series C Preferred Stock |
On December 23, 2004, in connection with the closing of the
merger agreement, dated October 5, 2004, with Infinity
Media Corporation (Infinity), Infinity Broadcasting
Corporation of San Francisco (Infinity SF) and
SBS Bay Area, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company
(SBS Bay Area), the Company issued to Infinity
(i) an aggregate of 380,000 shares of Series C
convertible preferred stock, $0.002 par value per share
(the Series C preferred stock), each of which
is convertible at the option of the holder into twenty fully
paid and non-assessable shares of the Companys
Class A common stock; and (ii) a warrant to purchase
an additional 190,000 shares of Series C preferred
stock, exercisable at any time from December 23, 2004 until
December 23, 2008, at an exercise price of $300.00 per
share (the Warrant).
Under the terms of the certificate of designation governing the
Series C preferred stock, the holder of Series C
preferred stock has the right to convert each share of
Series C preferred stock into twenty fully paid and
nonassessable shares of the Companys Class A common
stock. The shares of Series C preferred stock issued at the
closing of the merger are convertible into 7,600,000 shares
of our Class A common stock, subject to adjustment, and the
Series C preferred stock issuable upon exercise of the
Warrant is convertible into an additional 3,800,000 shares
of the Companys Class A common stock, subject to
adjustment.
In connection with the closing of the merger transaction, we
also entered into a registration rights agreement with Infinity,
pursuant to which, following a period of one year (or earlier if
we take certain actions), Infinity may instruct us to file up to
three registration statements, on a best efforts basis, with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) providing for the
registration for resale of the Class A common stock
issuable upon conversion of the Series C preferred stock.
The Company is required to pay holders of Series C
preferred stock dividends on parity with the Companys
Class A common stock and Class B common stock, and
each other class or series of capital stock the Company creates
after December 23, 2004.
(b) | Class A and B Common Stock |
The rights of the holders of shares of Class A common stock
and Class B common stock are identical except for voting
rights and conversion provisions. The Class A common stock
is entitled to one vote per share
10
SPANISH BROADCASTING SYSTEM, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
and the Class B common stock is entitled to ten votes per
share. Holders of each class of common stock are entitled to
receive dividends and, upon liquidation or dissolution, are
entitled to receive all assets available for distribution to
stockholders. The holders of each class have no preemptive or
other subscription rights and there are no redemption or sinking
fund provisions with respect to such shares. Each class of
common stock is subordinate to the Companys
103/4%
Series B cumulative exchangeable redeemable preferred
stock, par value $0.01 per share and liquidation preference
of $1,000 per share (the Series B preferred
stock) and on parity with the Series C preferred
stock with respect to dividend rights and rights on liquidation,
winding up and dissolution of the Company.
(c) | Warrants |
In connection with the purchase of KXOL-FM and the merger
agreement with Infinity, as discussed in Note 6 (a), the
Company has warrants outstanding to ultimately purchase an
aggregate of 4,500,000 shares of the Companys
Class A common stock. The following table summarizes

(d) | Stock Option Plans |
In September 1999, the Company adopted an employee incentive
stock option plan (the 1999 ISO Plan) and a
non-employee director stock option plan (the 1999
NQ Plan). Options granted under the 1999
ISO Plan will vest according to terms to be determined by
the compensation committee of the Companys board of
directors, and will have a contractual life of up to
10 years from date of grant. Options granted under the 1999
NQ Plan will vest 20% upon grant and 20% each year for the
first four years from grant. All options granted under the 1999
ISO Plan and the 1999 NQ Plan vest immediately upon a
change in control of the Company, as defined. A total of
3,000,000 shares and 300,000 shares of Class A
common stock have been reserved for issuance under the 1999
ISO Plan and the 1999 NQ Plan, respectively.
Additionally, on November 2, 1999, the Company granted a
stock option to purchase 250,000 shares of
Class A common stock to a former director. These options
vested immediately, and expire 10 years from the date of
grant.

6. | Litigation |
From time to time the Company is involved in litigation
incidental to the conduct of its business, such as contractual
matters and employee-related matters. In the opinion of
management, such litigation is not likely to have a material
adverse effect on the Companys business, operating results
or financial position.
As the owner, lessee, or operator of various real properties and
facilities, the Company is subject to various federal, state,
and local environmental laws and regulations. Historically,
compliance with these laws and regulations has not had a
material adverse effect on the Companys business. There
can be no assurance, however, that compliance with existing or
new environmental laws and regulations will not require the
Company to make significant expenditures of funds.
In connection with the sale of WXLX-AM in 1997, the Company
assigned the lease of the transmitter for WXLX in Lyndhurst, New
Jersey, to the purchaser of the station. The transmitter is
located on a former landfill which ceased operations in the late
1960s. Although WXLX-AM was sold, the Company retained
potential exposure to possible environmental liabilities
relating to the transmitter site (the Transmitter
Property).
On December 4, 2002, the New Jersey Meadowlands Commission
(NJMC) filed a Verified Complaint in condemnation in
the Superior Court of New Jersey, Bergen County, against Frank
F. Viola, Thomas C. Viola Trust and Louis Viola Company (the
Property Owners) to acquire the Transmitter
Property. The Transmitter Property is one of a number of sites
that the NJMC is acquiring for a redevelopment project. Many of
these sites (owned both publicly and privately) were used for
landfill operations including the Transmitter Property. The
Company was named as a defendant in the litigation by virtue of
its interest of record in the Transmitter Property as a former
leaseholder prior to the aforementioned lease assignment.
The litigation has been settled and concluded by the entry on
August 31, 2004 of an Amended Order for Final Judgment
(Final Order). The Final Order provided for the
compensation to be paid to the Property Owners, and for waiver
of claims for landfill closure costs against the Property
Owners. While the Final Order reserved the NJMCs claims
for environmental remediation against the other parties,
including the Company, a Settlement Agreement entered in the
Court record further stipulated that the NJMCs redeveloper
would agree to indemnify and insure (under policies expiring on
December 31, 2021 and providing coverage in the
13
SPANISH BROADCASTING SYSTEM, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
amount of $50.0 million) such other parties (including the
Company) against claims for remediation of environmental
contamination. The Company was named as an insured on the
aforementioned policy. On September 30, 2004, the Company
entered into an Indemnity Agreement with the Property Owners.
On June 14, 2000, an action was filed in the Eleventh
Judicial Circuit (the Court) in and for Miami-Dade
County, Florida by Jose Antonio Hurtado against the Company,
alleging that he was entitled to a commission related to an
acquisition made by the Company. The case was tried before a
jury during the week of December 1, 2003 and
Mr. Hurtado was awarded the sum of $1.8 million, plus
interest, which the Company accrued for during the quarter ended
December 31, 2003. Mr. Hurtado also filed an
application for attorneys fees, which the Company opposed
on grounds that there was no contractual or statutory basis for
such an award. The Company filed a motion for judgment
notwithstanding the verdict, which was heard on February 6,
2004. On March 12, 2004, the Court denied the
Companys motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict
and, upon its own motion, the Court granted a new trial. On
April 7, 2004, Mr. Hurtado filed a notice of appeal
with the Third Circuit Court of Appeals, challenging the order
granting a new trial, and on April 8, 2004, the Company
filed a notice of cross-appeal, challenging the denial of the
Companys motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict.
On August 27, 2004, Mr. Hurtado filed his initial
brief, and on January 10, 2005, the Company filed a
combined response brief and initial brief on the Companys
cross-appeal. On March 7, 2005, Mr. Hurtado filed his
reply brief and the Companys reply brief was due
20 days thereafter. At March 31, 2005, the Company had
accrued $1.8 million, plus interest related to this
contingency. The Third Circuit Court of Appeals set the matter
for oral argument on April 13, 2005. Subsequently, on
May 5, 2005, the Third District Court of Appeals ruled that
judgment should be entered in favor of the Company. If no motion
for rehearing is filed by Mr. Hurtado by May 19, 2005,
this case will be closed. However, if a motion for rehearing is
filed, the Company will need to await a ruling on that motion.
On November 28, 2001, a complaint was filed against the
Company in the United States District Court for the Southern
District of New York (the Southern District of New
York) and was amended on April 19, 2002. The
amended complaint alleges that the named plaintiff, Mitchell
Wolf, purchased shares of the Companys Class A common
stock pursuant to the October 27, 1999 prospectus and
registration statement relating to its initial public offering
which closed on November 2, 1999. The complaint was brought
on behalf of Mr. Wolf and an alleged class of similarly
situated purchasers, against the Company, eight underwriters
and/or their successors-in-interest who led or otherwise
participated in the Companys initial public offering, two
members of the senior management team, one of whom is the
Companys Chairman of the Board, and an additional
director, referred to collectively as the individual defendants.
To date, the complaint, while served upon the Company, has not
been served upon the individual defendants, and no counsel has
appeared for them.
This case is one of more than 300 similar cases brought by
similar counsel against more than 300 issuers,
40 underwriter defendants, and 1,000 individuals
alleging, in general, violations of federal securities laws in
connection with initial public offerings, in particular, failing
to disclose that the underwriter defendants allegedly solicited
and received additional, excessive and undisclosed commissions
from certain investors in exchange for which they allocated to
those investors material portions of the restricted shares
issued in connection with each offering. All of these cases,
including the one involving the Company, have been assigned for
consolidated pretrial purposes to one judge of the Southern
District of New York. One of the claims against the individual
defendants, specifically the Section 10b-5 claim, has been
dismissed.
In June of 2003, after lengthy negotiations, a settlement
proposal was embodied in a memorandum of understanding among the
investors in the plaintiff class, the issuer defendants and the
issuer defendants insurance carriers. On July 23,
2003, the Companys Board of Directors approved both the
memorandum of understanding and an agreement between the issuer
defendants and the insurers. As of March 1, 2004, the
overwhelming majority of non-bankrupt issuer defendants have
approved the settlement proposal. The
14
SPANISH BROADCASTING SYSTEM, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
principal components of the settlement include: 1) a
release of all claims against the issuer defendants and their
directors, officers and certain other related parties arising
out of the alleged wrongful conduct in the amended complaint;
2) the assignment to the plaintiffs of certain of the
issuer defendants potential claims against the underwriter
defendants; and 3) a guarantee by the insurers to the
plaintiffs of the difference between $1.0 billion and any
lesser amount recovered by the plaintiffs against the
underwriter defendants. The payments will be charged to each
issuer defendants insurance policy on a pro rata basis.
On February 15, 2005, the Southern District of New York
granted preliminary approval to the proposed settlement
agreement, subject to a narrowing of the proposed bar on
underwriter and non-settling defendant claims against the issuer
defendants to cover only contribution claims. The Court directed
the parties to submit revised settlement documents consistent
with its Opinion and scheduled a conference for March 18,
2005 in order to (a) make final determinations as to the
form, substance and program of notice, and (b) schedule a
Rule 23 fairness hearing. Pursuant to the Courts
request, on May 2, 2005 the parties submitted an Amendment
to Stipulation and Agreement of Settlement with Defendant
Issuers and Individuals (the Amendment). The Board
of Directors of the Company approved the Amendment on
May 4, 2005. It is anticipated that the Amendment will soon
receive approval from all the non-bankrupt issuers. The Company
does not have sufficient information to assess its potential
exposure to liability, if any, and no amounts have been accrued
in the consolidated financial statements.
On December 5, 2003, Amigo Broadcasting, L.P.
(Amigo) filed an original petition and application
for temporary injunction in the District Court of Travis County,
Texas (the Court), against the Company, Raul Bernal
(Bernal) and Joaquin Garza (Garza), two
former employees of the Company. Amigo filed a first and second
amended petition and application for temporary injunction on
June 25, 2004 and February 18, 2005, respectively. The
second amended petition alleged that the Company
(1) misappropriated Amigos proprietary interests by
broadcasting the characters and concepts portrayed by the Bernal
and Garza radio show (the Property),
(2) wrongfully converted the Property for the
Companys own use and benefit, (3) induced Bernal and
Garza to breach their employment agreements with Amigo,
(4) used and continued to use Amigos confidential
information and property with the intention of diverting profits
from Amigo and of inducing Amigos potential customers to
do business with the Company and its syndicators,
(5) invaded Amigos privacy by misappropriating the
name and likeness of Bernal and Garza, and (6) committed
violations of the Lanham Act by diluting and infringing on
Amigos trademarks. Based on these claims, Amigo seeks
damages in excess of $3.0 million.
On December 5, 2003, the Court issued a temporary
injunction against all of the defendants and scheduled a hearing
before the Court on December 17, 2003. The temporary
injunction dissolved by its terms on December 1, 2004. On
December 17, 2003, the parties entered into a settlement
agreement, whereby the Court entered an Order on Consent of the
settling parties, permitting Bernal and Garzas radio show
to be broadcast on the Companys radio stations. In
addition, the Company agreed that it would not broadcast the
Bernal and Garza radio show in certain prohibited markets and
that the Company would not distribute certain promotional
materials that were developed by Amigo. On January 5, 2004,
the Company answered the remaining claims asserted by Amigo for
damages. The parties have exchanged some written discovery and
are in the process of scheduling depositions. The case was
scheduled for a jury trial on May 23, 2005. However, on
March 18, 2005, the case was removed to the United States
District Court for the Western District of Texas. The Company
does not have sufficient information to assess its potential
exposure to liability, if any, and no amounts have been accrued
in the consolidated financial statements.

Item 2. | Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
Overview
We are the largest Hispanic-controlled radio broadcasting
company in the United States. After giving effect to the
proposed sale of our radio stations KZAB-FM and KZBA-FM, serving
the Los Angeles, California market, we will own and operate
20 radio stations in markets that reach approximately 49% of the
U.S. Hispanic population. Our stations are located in six
of the top-ten Hispanic markets of Los Angeles, New York, Puerto
Rico, Chicago, Miami and San Francisco. Los Angeles and New
York have the largest and second largest Hispanic populations,
and are the largest and second largest radio markets in the
United States in terms of advertising revenue, respectively. Our
top three markets, based on net revenues, are New York,
Los Angeles and Miami. A significant decline in net revenue
or station operating income from our stations in any of these
markets could have a material adverse effect on our financial
position and results of operations. As part of our operating
business, we also operate LaMusica.com, a bilingual
Spanish-English Internet website providing content related to
Latin music, entertainment, news and culture.
The success of each of our radio stations depends significantly
upon its audience ratings and share of the overall advertising
revenue within its market. The radio broadcasting industry is a
highly competitive business, but some barriers to entry do
exist. Each of our radio stations competes with both
Spanish-language and English-language radio stations in its
market, as well as with other advertising media such as
newspapers, broadcast television, cable television, the
Internet, magazines, outdoor advertising, transit advertising
and direct mail marketing. Factors which are material to our
competitive position include management experience, our radio
stations rank in its market, signal strength and frequency
and audience demographics, including the nature of the
Spanish-language market targeted by a particular station.
Our primary source of revenue is the sale of advertising time on
our radio stations to local and national advertisers. Our
revenue is affected primarily by the advertising rates that our
radio stations are able to charge, as well as the overall demand
for radio advertising time in each respective market. Seasonal
net broadcasting revenue fluctuations are common in the radio
broadcasting industry and are due to fluctuations in advertising
expenditures by local and national advertisers. Typically for
the radio broadcasting industry, the first calendar quarter
generally produces the lowest revenue. Our most significant
operating expenses are compensation expenses, programming
expenses, and advertising and promotional expenses. Our senior
management strives to control these expenses, as well as other
expenses, by working closely with local station management and
others, including vendors.
Comparison Analysis of the Operating Results for the Three
Months Ended March 31, 2004 and 2005
The following summary table presents a comparison of our results
of operations for the three-month periods ended March 31,
2004 and 2005. Various fluctuations illustrated in the table are
discussed below. This section should be read in conjunction with
our consolidated financial statements and notes.

Net Revenue. The increase in net revenue was due to the
double-digit growth in our Los Angeles, New York and Miami
markets primarily from local and barter revenue.
Engineering and Programming Expenses. The increase in
engineering and programming expenses was mainly caused by
(a) the investments made in our Los Angeles
programming department, (b) compensation, (c) music
license fees, and (d) our new start-up station in
San Francisco, KRZZ-FM.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. The
increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was
mainly caused by the increases in (a) compensation and
benefits due to additional personnel in various markets,
(b) barter expense due to the increase in barter sales and
related marketing costs, (c) professional fees related to
our compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002,
(d) local commissions due to the increase in revenue, and
(e) all related expenses of our new start-up station in
San Francisco, KRZZ-FM.
Corporate Expenses. The increase in corporate expenses
resulted mainly from an increase in legal and professional fees
and other expenses related to new business development projects.
Operating Income from Continuing Operations. The increase
in operating income from continuing operations was primarily
attributed to the increase in net revenues, offset by increases
in engineering and programming, selling, general and
administrative expenses and corporate expenses.
Income Taxes. The decrease in income tax benefit was due
primarily to a decrease in loss from continuing operations
before income taxes and discontinued operations, as well as a
decrease in the estimated income tax rate. Our effective book
tax rate has been impacted by the adoption of
SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets (SFAS No. 142). As a result of adopting
SFAS No. 142, the reversal of our deferred tax
liabilities related to our intangible assets could no longer be
assured over our net operating loss carryforward period.
Therefore, our effective book tax rate is impacted by a full
valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets.
Discontinued Operations, Net of Taxes. We determined that
the sale of our KLEY-FM and KSAH-AM stations serving the
San Antonio, Texas market, and the sale of our KPTI-FM
station serving the San Francisco, California market, all
met the criteria, in accordance with SFAS No. 144,
Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for
Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of, to classify their
respective operations as discontinued operations. Consequently,
these stations results from operations for the fiscal year
ended 2004 were classified as discontinued operations. The
decrease in discontinued operations, net of taxes, was primarily
attributable to the $11.6 million gain recognized on the
sale of our San Antonio KLEY-FM and KSAH-AM stations, net
of closing costs and taxes, respectively.
Net Income. The decrease in net income was primarily due
to the income from discontinued operations related to the sale
of stations in the prior year.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary sources of liquidity are cash on hand, cash provided
by operations and, to the extent necessary, undrawn commitments
that are available under a $10.0 million revolving credit
facility. Our ability to raise funds by increasing our
indebtedness is limited by the terms of the indentures governing
our senior subordinated notes, the certificates of designations
governing our preferred stock and the credit agreement governing
our senior secured credit facilities. Additionally, the
indentures, certificates of designations and credit agreement
each place restrictions on us with respect to the sale of
assets, liens, investments, dividends, debt repayments, capital
expenditures, transactions with affiliates and consolidations
and mergers, among other things. We had cash and cash
equivalents of $132.0 million and $161.9 million as of
December 31, 2004 and March 31, 2005, respectively.

The following summary table presents a comparison of our capital
resources for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2004
and 2005, with respect to certain of our key measures affecting
our liquidity. The changes set forth in the table are discussed
below. This section should be read in conjunction with the
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes.

Net Cash Flows Provided By Operating Activities. Changes
in our net cash flows from operating activities were primarily a
result of the increase in cash received from customers.
Net Cash Flows Provided by Investing Activities. Changes
in our net cash flows from investing activities were primarily a
result of (a) deposits totaling $20.0 million received
for the pending sale of our Los Angeles stations KZAB-FM and
KZBA-FM, offset by capital expenditures for 2005 and
(b) proceeds of $23.7 million we received in 2004 for
the sale of radio stations KLEY-FM and KSAH-AM, offset by
capital expenditures.
Net Cash Flows Used In Financing Activities. Changes in
our net cash flows from financing activities were primarily a
result of the 2004 additional offering costs related to our
Series B preferred stock and financing costs.
Management believes that cash from operating activities,
together with cash on hand, should be sufficient to permit us to
meet our operating obligations in the foreseeable future,
including required interest and quarterly principal payments
pursuant to the credit agreement governing our senior secured
credit facilities, interest payment requirements under our
95/8% senior
subordinated notes due 2009 and capital expenditures, excluding
the acquisitions of FCC licenses. Assumptions (none of which can
be assured) which underlie managements beliefs, include
the following:
| the economic conditions within the radio broadcasting industry and economic conditions in general will not deteriorate in any material respect; | |
| we will continue to successfully implement our business strategies; and | |
| we will not incur any material unforeseen liabilities, including environmental liabilities. |
Our strategy is to primarily utilize cash flows from operations
to meet our capital needs and contractual obligations. However,
we also have bank borrowings available to meet our capital needs
and contractual obligations and, when appropriate and, if
available, will obtain financing by issuing debt or stock.
We are required to maintain financial covenant ratios under the
credit agreement governing our senior secured credit facilities
as follows: (i) Consolidated EBITDA minimum,
(ii) Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio,
(iii) Consolidated Leverage Ratio, (iv) Consolidated
Interest Coverage Ratio and (v) Consolidated Senior Secured
Debt Ratio, all as defined in the credit agreement, solely for
the purpose of determining compliance with the covenants. The
credit agreement governing our senior secured credit facilities
requiring compliance with these financial covenants states that
the calculations must be based on Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles in the United States of America. We are in compliance
with all covenants under our senior secured credit facilities
and all other debt instruments as of March 31, 2005 and
expect to be in compliance in the foreseeable future.
We intend to enter into new senior secured credit facilities
with affiliates of Lehman Brothers Inc., Merrill Lynch and
Wachovia Securities. Lehman Brothers Inc. will act as sole lead
arranger. The proposed
18
new proposed credit facilities will provide for an aggregate of
$400.0 million in funded term loans (consisting of a
$300.0 million first lien credit facility and a
$100.0 million second lien credit facility), plus a
$25.0 million revolving loan facility.
Our intentions are that funds available under the new proposed
credit facilities will be used to repay amounts outstanding
under our existing senior secured credit facilities and to
retire all of our outstanding
95/8% senior
subordinated notes due 2009. We expect the new senior secured
credit facilities to close during the second quarter of 2005 and
expect to redeem the
95/8% senior
subordinated notes due 2009 within 30 to 45 days after
closing the new senior secured credit facilities.
There can be no assurance that we will be able to complete this
refinancing. If we are successful in our refinancing efforts, we
will incur a loss on extinguishment of debt totaling
approximately $32.9 million related to call premiums,
discount write-offs and deferred financing costs write-offs.
On August 17, 2004, we entered into an asset purchase
agreement with Styles Media Group, to sell the assets of radio
stations KZAB-FM and KZBA-FM, serving the Los Angeles,
California market, for a cash purchase price of
$120.0 million. In connection with this agreement, Styles
Media Group made a non-refundable $6.0 million deposit on
the purchase price, which was held in escrow as of
December 31, 2004. On February 18, 2005, Styles Media
Group exercised its right under the agreement to extend the
closing date until March 31, 2005, by releasing the deposit
from escrow to us.
On March 30, 2005, we entered into an amendment to the
asset purchase agreement with Styles Media Group. In connection
with this amendment, Styles Media Group made an additional
$14.0 million deposit on the purchase price and we agreed
to extend the closing date from March 31, 2005 to the later
date of July 31, 2005 or within five days following the
grant of the FCC Final Order. Although we expect the sale of the
Los Angeles stations to be completed, there can be no assurance
that such sale will be completed.
On August 17, 2004, Spanish Broadcasting System SouthWest,
Inc. entered into a time brokerage agreement with Styles Media
Group pursuant to which Styles Media Group was permitted to
begin broadcasting its programming on radio stations KZAB-FM and
KZBA-FM beginning on September 20, 2004. The time brokerage
agreement will terminate upon the closing under, or termination
of, the asset purchase agreement.
We determined, that since we were not eliminating all
significant revenues and expenses generated in this market, the
pending sales of these stations did not meet the criteria to
classify the stations operations as discontinued
operations. However, we reclassified the stations assets
as held for sale. On March 31, 2005, we had assets held for
sale consisting of $63.5 million of intangible assets and
$1.1 million of property and equipment for radio stations
KZAB-FM and KZBA-FM.
Pursuant to the credit agreement governing our senior secured
credit facilities, the net cash proceeds received from these
sales, when and if completed, must be offered to the noteholders
to repay our borrowings under the senior secured credit
facilities. Therefore, we have reclassified the senior secured
credit facilities balance from long-term debt to current debt.
If, prior to the closing of the proposed asset sale, the
existing senior secured credit facilities are replaced with the
new senior secured credit facilities described above, we intend
to use the net cash proceeds received from the asset sale to
repay certain amounts under the new senior secured credit
facilities. If the proposed asset sale does not close, we will
be unable to use the anticipated proceeds from such sale to
reduce our debt.
We continuously evaluate opportunities to make strategic
acquisitions, primarily in the largest Hispanic markets in the
United States. We engage in discussions regarding potential
acquisitions from time to time in the ordinary course of
business. Except as discussed above, we currently have no other
written understandings, letters of intent or contracts to
acquire stations or other companies. We anticipate that any
future acquisitions would be financed through funds generated
from permitted debt financing, equity financing, operations,
asset sales or a combination of these sources. However, there
can be no assurance that financing from any of these sources, if
necessary and available, can be obtained on favorable terms for
future acquisitions.
19
During the three months ended March 31, 2005, we entered
into various contractual obligations related to employee
agreements and other agreements. We expect our unrecorded
obligations to increase by approximately $0.7 million,
$2.3 million, $0.7 million, and $0.2 million for
the fiscal years ended 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008, respectively,
from what was previously disclosed in our 2004 Annual Report on
Form 10-K.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) issued FASB Statement No. 123 (revised
2004), Share-Based Payment
(SFAS No. 123R), which is a revision of
SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation (SFAS No. 123). SFAS No. 123R
requires companies to expense the grant-date fair value of stock
options and other equity-based compensation issued to employees.
We are required to adopt the provisions of
SFAS No. 123R on January 1, 2006. We are
evaluating the requirements of SFAS No. 123R and we
have not yet determined the method of adoption or the effect of
adopting SFAS No. 123R, and we have not determined
whether the adoption will result in amounts that are similar to
the current pro forma disclosures under SFAS No. 123
in Note 5(d).
Disclosure Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains both historical
and forward-looking statements. All statements other than
statements of historical fact are, or may be deemed to be,
forward-looking statements within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended. These forward-looking statements are not based on
historical facts, but rather reflect our current expectations
concerning future results and events. These forward-looking
statements generally can be identified by the use of statements
that include phrases such as believe,
expect, anticipate, intend,
plan, foresee, likely,
will or other similar words or phrases. Similarly,
statements that describe our objectives, plans or goals are, or
may be, forward-looking statements. These forward-looking
statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and
other factors which may cause our actual results, performance or
achievements to be different from any future results,
performance and achievements expressed or implied by these
statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ
from those expressed in forward-looking statements include, but
are not limited to:
| Our substantial amount of debt could adversely affect our financial health; | |
| We will require a significant amount of cash to service our debt and to make cash dividend payments under our Series B preferred stock; | |
| Our ability to generate cash depends on many factors, some of which are beyond our control; | |
| We may not have the funds or the ability to raise the funds necessary to repurchase our Series B preferred stock if holders exercise their repurchase right, or to finance the change of control offer required by our Series B preferred stock and the indenture that would govern our 103/4% subordinated exchange notes due 2013, if issued; | |
| Any acceleration of our debt or event of default would harm our business and financial condition; | |
| Despite our current significant level of debt, we and our subsidiaries may still be able to incur substantially more debt, which, if increased, could further intensify the risks associated with our substantial leverage; | |
| The terms of our debt restrict us from engaging in many activities and require us to satisfy various financial tests; | |
| The terms of our existing debt and our preferred stock impose or will impose restrictions on us that may adversely affect our business; | |
| We may not complete the proposed sale of our Los Angeles stations; | |
| We have experienced net losses in the past and, to the extent that we experience net losses in the future, our ability to raise capital and the market price of our common stock may be adversely affected; |
20
| Our operating results could be adversely affected by a national or regional recession; | |
| A large portion of our net revenue and station operating income currently comes from our New York, Los Angeles and Miami markets; | |
| Loss of any key personnel could adversely affect our business; | |
| Our growth depends on successfully executing our acquisition strategy; | |
| We are a holding company and depend entirely upon cash flow from our subsidiaries to meet our obligations; | |
| Raúl Alarcón, Jr., our Chairman of the Board of Directors, Chief Executive Officer and President, has majority voting control and this control may discourage or influence certain types of transactions, including an actual or potential change of control such as a merger or sale; | |
| We compete for advertising revenue with other radio groups as well as television and other media, many operators of which have greater resources than we do; | |
| Cancellations or reductions in advertising could adversely affect our net revenues; | |
| The FCC has begun more vigorous enforcement of its indecency rules against the broadcast industry, which could have a material adverse effect on our business; | |
| We may face regulatory review for additional acquisitions and divestitures in our existing markets and, potentially, acquisitions in new markets; | |
| Any failure by us to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 could cause a loss of confidence in the reliability of our financial statements and could have a material adverse effect on our business and the price of our Class A common stock; | |
| We must be able to respond to rapidly changing technology, services and standards which characterize our industry in order to remain competitive; | |
| Our business depends on maintaining our FCC licenses. We cannot assure you that we will be able to maintain these licenses; | |
| The market price of our shares of Class A common stock may fluctuate significantly; and | |
| Current or future sales by existing stockholders could depress the market price of our Class A common stock. |
Consequently, such forward-looking statements should be regarded
solely as our current plans, estimates and beliefs. We do not
undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking
statements to reflect subsequent events or circumstances.
Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk |
We believe that inflation has not had a material impact on our
results of operations for the three-month periods ended
March 31, 2004 and 2005, respectively. However, there can
be no assurance that inflation will not have an adverse impact
on our future operating results and financial condition.
Our primary market risk is a change in interest rates. Our
primary exposure is variable rates of interest associated with
borrowings under our senior secured credit facilities. Advances
under the senior secured credit facilities bear base rate or
Eurodollar rate interest (in each case subject to applicable
margins), as applicable, which vary in accordance with
prevailing economic conditions. Our earnings are affected by
changes in interest rates due to the impact those changes have
on interest expense from variable-rate debt instruments and on
interest income generated from our cash and investment balances.
At March 31, 2005, all of our debt, other than our
$123.4 million senior secured credit facility term loan,
had fixed interest rates. If variable interest rates average 10%
higher in 2005 than they did during 2004, our variable interest
expense would increase by approximately $0.6 million,
compared to approximately $6.0 million for the fiscal year
ended
21
December 31, 2004. If interest rates average 10% lower in
2005 than they did during 2004, our interest income from cash
and investment balances would decrease by approximately
$0.1 million, compared to approximately $0.8 million
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004. These amounts
are determined by considering the impact of the hypothetical
interest rates on our variable-rate debt, cash equivalents and
short-term investment balances at December 31, 2004. There
has been no material change in our market risk position since
December 31, 2004.
Item 4. | Controls and Procedures |
Evaluation Of Disclosure Controls And Procedures. Our
principal executive and financial officers have conducted an
evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of
our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined
under Rule 13a-14(c) of the Exchange Act of 1934 (the
Exchange Act) to ensure that information we are
required to disclose in the reports we file or submit under the
Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported
within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and
forms, and include controls and procedures designed to ensure
that information we are required to disclose in such reports is
accumulated and communicated to management, including our
principal executive and financial officers, as appropriate, to
allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on
that evaluation, our principal executive and financial officers
concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were
effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.
Changes In Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.
There has been no change in our internal control over financial
reporting during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2005
that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to
materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. | Legal Proceedings |
From time to time we are involved in litigation incidental to
the conduct of our business, such as contractual matters and
employee-related matters. In the opinion of management, such
litigation is not likely to have a material adverse effect on
our business, operating results or financial position.
As the owner, lessee, or operator of various real properties and
facilities, we are subject to various federal, state, and local
environmental laws and regulations. Historically, compliance
with these laws and regulations has not had a material adverse
effect on our business. There can be no assurance, however, that
compliance with existing or new environmental laws and
regulations will not require us to make significant expenditures
of funds.
In connection with the sale of WXLX-AM in 1997, we assigned the
lease of the transmitter for WXLX in Lyndhurst, New Jersey, to
the purchaser of the station. The transmitter is located on a
former landfill which ceased operations in the late 1960s.
Although WXLX-AM was sold, we retained potential exposure to
possible environmental liabilities relating to the transmitter
site (the Transmitter Property).
On December 4, 2002, the New Jersey Meadowlands Commission
(NJMC) filed a Verified Complaint in condemnation in
the Superior Court of New Jersey, Bergen County, against
Frank F. Viola, Thomas C. Viola Trust and Louis Viola
Company (the Property Owners) to acquire the
Transmitter Property. The Transmitter Property is one of a
number of sites that the NJMC is acquiring for a redevelopment
project. Many of these sites (owned both publicly and privately)
were used for landfill operations including the Transmitter
Property. We were named as a defendant in the litigation by
virtue of our interest of record in the Transmitter Property as
a former leaseholder prior to the aforementioned lease
assignment.
The litigation has been settled and concluded by the entry on
August 31, 2004 of an Amended Order for Final Judgment
(Final Order). The Final Order provided for the
compensation to be paid to the Property Owners, and for waiver
of claims for landfill closure costs against the Property
Owners. While the Final Order reserved the NJMCs claims
for environmental remediation against the other parties,
including us, a
22
Settlement Agreement entered in the Court record further
stipulated that the NJMCs redeveloper would agree to
indemnify and insure (under policies expiring on
December 31, 2021 and providing coverage in the amount of
$50.0 million) such other parties (including us) against
claims for remediation of environmental contamination. We were
named as an insured on the aforementioned policy. On
September 30, 2004, we entered into an Indemnity Agreement
with the Property Owners.
On June 14, 2000, an action was filed in the Eleventh
Judicial Circuit (the Court) in and for Miami-Dade
County, Florida by Jose Antonio Hurtado against us, alleging
that he was entitled to a commission related to an acquisition
made by us. The case was tried before a jury during the week of
December 1, 2003 and Mr. Hurtado was awarded the sum
of $1.8 million, plus interest, which we accrued for during
the quarter ended December 31, 2003. Mr. Hurtado also
filed an application for attorneys fees, which we opposed
on grounds that there was no contractual or statutory basis for
such an award. We filed a motion for judgment notwithstanding
the verdict, which was heard on February 6, 2004. On
March 12, 2004, the Court denied our motion for judgment
notwithstanding the verdict and, upon its own motion, the Court
granted a new trial. On April 7, 2004, Mr. Hurtado
filed a notice of appeal with the Third Circuit Court of
Appeals, challenging the order granting a new trial, and on
April 8, 2004, we filed a notice of cross-appeal,
challenging the denial of our motion for judgment
notwithstanding the verdict. On August 27, 2004,
Mr. Hurtado filed his initial brief, and on
January 10, 2005, we filed a combined response brief and
initial brief on our cross-appeal. On March 7, 2005,
Mr. Hurtado filed his reply brief and our reply brief was
due 20 days thereafter. At March 31, 2005, we had
accrued $1.8 million, plus interst related to this
contingency. The Third Circuit Court of Appeals set the matter
for oral argument on April 13, 2005. Subsequently, on
May 5, 2005, the Third District Court of Appeals ruled that
judgment should be entered in our favor. If no motion for
rehearing is filed by Mr. Hurtado by May 19, 2005,
this case will be closed. However, if a motion for rehearing is
filed, we will need to await a ruling on that motion.
On November 28, 2001, a complaint was filed against us in
the United States District Court for the Southern District of
New York (the Southern District of New York) and was
amended on April 19, 2002. The amended complaint alleges
that the named plaintiff, Mitchell Wolf, purchased shares of our
Class A common stock pursuant to the October 27, 1999
prospectus and registration statement relating to our initial
public offering which closed on November 2, 1999. The
complaint was brought on behalf of Mr. Wolf and an alleged
class of similarly situated purchasers, against us, eight
underwriters and/or their successors-in-interest who led or
otherwise participated in our initial public offering, two
members of our senior management team, one of whom is our
Chairman of the Board, and an additional director, referred to
collectively as the individual defendants. To date, the
complaint, while served upon us, has not been served upon the
individual defendants, and no counsel has appeared for them.
This case is one of more than 300 similar cases brought by
similar counsel against more than 300 issuers,
40 underwriter defendants, and 1,000 individuals
alleging, in general, violations of federal securities laws in
connection with initial public offerings, in particular, failing
to disclose that the underwriter defendants allegedly solicited
and received additional, excessive and undisclosed commissions
from certain investors in exchange for which they allocated to
those investors material portions of the restricted shares
issued in connection with each offering. All of these cases,
including the one involving us, have been assigned for
consolidated pretrial purposes to one judge of the Southern
District of New York. One of the claims against the individual
defendants, specifically the Section 10b-5 claim, has been
dismissed.
In June of 2003, after lengthy negotiations, a settlement
proposal was embodied in a memorandum of understanding among the
investors in the plaintiff class, the issuer defendants and the
issuer defendants insurance carriers. On July 23,
2003, our Board of Directors approved both the memorandum of
understanding and an agreement between the issuer defendants and
the insurers. As of March 1, 2004, the overwhelming
majority of non-bankrupt issuer defendants have approved the
settlement proposal. The principal components of the settlement
include: 1) a release of all claims against the issuer
defendants and their directors, officers and certain other
related parties arising out of the alleged wrongful conduct in
the amended complaint; 2) the assignment to the plaintiffs
of certain of the issuer defendants potential claims
against the underwriter defendants; and 3) a guarantee by
the insurers to the plaintiffs of the difference between
$1.0 billion and any lesser amount recovered by the
plaintiffs against the underwriter defendants. The payments will
be charged to each issuer defendants insurance policy on a
pro rata basis.
23
On February 15, 2005, the Southern District of New York
granted preliminary approval to the proposed settlement
agreement, subject to a narrowing of the proposed bar on
underwriter and non-settling defendant claims against the issuer
defendants to cover only contribution claims. The Court directed
the parties to submit revised settlement documents consistent
with its Opinion and scheduled a conference for March 18,
2005 in order to (a) make final determinations as to the
form, substance and program of notice, and (b) schedule a
Rule 23 fairness hearing. Pursuant to the Courts
request, on May 2, 2005 the parties submitted an Amendment
to Stipulation and Agreement of Settlement with Defendant
Issuers and Individuals (the Amendment). Our Board
of Directors approved the Amendment on May 4, 2005. It is
anticipated that the Amendment will soon receive unanimous
approval from all the non-bankrupt issuers. We do not have
sufficient information to assess our potential exposure to
liability, if any, and no amounts have been accrued in the
consolidated financial statements.
On December 5, 2003, Amigo Broadcasting, L.P.
(Amigo) filed an original petition and application
for temporary injunction in the District Court of Travis County,
Texas (the Court), against us, Raul Bernal
(Bernal) and Joaquin Garza (Garza), two
of our former employees. Amigo filed a first and second amended
petition and application for temporary injunction on
June 25, 2004 and February 18, 2005, respectively. The
second amended petition alleged that we (1) misappropriated
Amigos proprietary interests by broadcasting the
characters and concepts portrayed by the Bernal and Garza radio
show (the Property), (2) wrongfully converted
the Property to our own use and benefit, (3) induced Bernal
and Garza to breach their employment agreements with Amigo,
(4) used and continue to use Amigos confidential
information and property with the intention of diverting profits
from Amigo and of inducing Amigos potential customers to
do business with us and our syndicators, (5) invaded
Amigos privacy by misappropriating the name and likeness
of Bernal and Garza, and (6) committed violations of the
Lanham Act by diluting and infringing on Amigos
trademarks. Based on these claims, Amigo seeks damages in excess
of $3.0 million.
On December 5, 2003, the Court issued a temporary
injunction against all of the defendants and scheduled a hearing
before the Court on December 17, 2003. The temporary
injunction dissolved by its terms on December 1, 2004. On
December 17, 2003, the parties entered into a settlement
agreement, whereby the Court entered an Order on Consent of the
settling parties, permitting Bernal and Garzas radio show
to be broadcast on our radio stations. In addition, we agreed
that we would not broadcast the Bernal and Garza radio show in
certain prohibited markets and that we would not distribute
certain promotional materials that were developed by Amigo. On
January 5, 2004, we answered the remaining claims asserted
by Amigo for damages. The parties have exchanged some written
discovery and are in the process of scheduling depositions. The
case was scheduled for a jury trial on May 23, 2005.
However, on March 18, 2005, the case was removed to the
United States District Court for the Western District of Texas.
We do not have sufficient information to assess our potential
exposure to liability, if any, and no amounts have been accrued
in the consolidated financial statements.
Item 5. | Other Information |
We intend to enter into new senior secured credit facilities
with affiliates of Lehman Brothers Inc., Merrill Lynch and
Wachovia Securities. Lehman Brothers Inc. will act as sole lead
arranger. The proposed new proposed credit facilities will
provide for an aggregate of $400.0 million in funded term
loans (consisting of a $300.0 million first lien credit
facility and a $100.0 million second lien credit facility),
plus a $25.0 million revolving loan facility.
Our intentions are that funds available under the new proposed
credit facilities will be used to repay amounts outstanding
under our existing senior secured credit facilities and to
retire all of our outstanding
95/8% senior
subordinated notes due 2009. We expect the new senior secured
credit facilities to close during the second quarter of 2005 and
expect to redeem the
95/8% senior
subordinated notes due 2009 within 30 to 45 days after
closing the new senior secured credit facilities.
There can be no assurance that we will be able to complete this
refinancing. If we are successful in our refinancing efforts, we
will incur a loss on extinguishment of debt totaling
approximately $32.9 million related to call premiums,
discount write-offs and deferred financing costs write-offs.
24
On May 4, 2005, Raúl Alarcón, Jr., our Chairman
of the Board of Directors, Chief Executive Officer and
President, owning shares of common stock having approximately
80% of the combined voting power of our outstanding shares of
common stock, authorized by resolution amendments to our Amended
and Restated By-Laws effective as of May 4, 2005, to
(i) create the office of Chief Operating Officer and assign
certain of the duties formerly exercised by the President to the
Chief Operating Officer, (ii) redefine the duties of the
President, (iii) formalized the creation of the office of
Executive Vice-President, and (iv) make ministerial changes
reflecting the amendments noted above.
On May 4, 2005, our Board of Directors appointed Marko
Radlovic to Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer
(COO). In his capacity as COO, Mr. Radlovic
will be responsible for all of our operational divisions,
including sales, programming, administration, promotions and
marketing. Prior to his appointment as COO, Mr. Radlovic
was our Chief Revenue Officer from December 2003 until May 2005,
Vice President/ General Manager for our Los Angeles radio
cluster from January 2002 until November 2003, and previously
served as Vice President of Sales for the Los Angeles cluster.
Prior to joining us, Mr. Radlovic was Market Manager for
CUMULUS Media in Southern California from January 2001 until
August 2001 and was Vice President/ General Manager for AM/ FM
Inc. in Los Angeles from October 1998 to October 2000.
