Special Note 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 (the Exchange Act). 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, estimate, plan, project, foresee, likely, will or other words
or phrases with similar meanings. 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 anticipated
achievements expressed or implied by these statements. We do not intend to publicly update or
revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or
otherwise. In addition, forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties
that could cause actual results to differ materially from our historical experience and our
present expectations or projections. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited
to those described in this report, in Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors and elsewhere in our
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, and those described from time to
time in our future reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC).

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, we, us, our or SBS). All
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The accompanying
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009
and for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 have been prepared in
accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial
information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. They do not
include all information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. These
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our
consolidated financial statements as of, and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009,
included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009. In the
opinion of 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. Additionally, we evaluated subsequent events
after the balance sheet date of June 30, 2010 through the financial statements issuance date. The
results of operations for the three- and six-month period ended June 30, 2010 are not necessarily
indicative of the results for a full year.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to
make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the reported amounts of assets,
liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities
at the date of the financial statements. Significant items subject to such estimates and
assumptions include: the useful lives of fixed assets, allowance for doubtful accounts, the
valuation of derivatives, deferred tax assets, fixed assets, intangible assets, stock-based
compensation, contingencies and litigation. These estimates and assumptions are based on
managements best judgments. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing
basis using historical experience and other factors, including the current economic environment,
which management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Management adjusts such
estimates and assumptions as facts and circumstances dictate. Illiquid credit markets, volatile
equity markets and reductions in advertising spending have combined to increase the uncertainty
inherent in such estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.
2. Stockholders Deficit
(a) Series C Convertible Preferred Stock
On December 23, 2004, in connection with the closing of the merger agreement, dated October
5, 2004, with CBS Radio (formerly known as Infinity Media Corporation, CBS Radio), a division of
CBS Corporation, Infinity Broadcasting Corporation of San Francisco (Infinity SF) and SBS Bay
Area, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of SBS (SBS Bay Area), we issued to CBS Radio (i) an
aggregate of 380,000 shares of Series C convertible preferred stock, $0.01 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 our Class A common stock, $0.0001 par value per
share (the 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.
In connection with the closing of the merger transaction, we also entered into a
registration rights agreement with CBS Radio, pursuant to which CBS Radio may instruct us to file
up to three registration statements, on a best efforts basis, with the SEC providing for the
registration for resale of the Class A common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series C
preferred stock.
We are required to pay holders of Series C preferred stock dividends on parity with our
Class A common stock and Class B common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the Class B common
stock), and each other class or series of our capital stock, if created, 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 and the Class B common stock is entitled to ten votes per share.
The Class B common stock is convertible to Class A common stock on a share-for-share basis at the
option of the holder at any time, or automatically upon the transfer to a person or entity which
is not a permitted transferee. 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 our 10 3/4% 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 upon liquidation, winding up and dissolution of SBS.

Table of Contents
(c) Share-Based Compensation Plans
2006 Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan
In July 2006, we adopted an omnibus equity compensation plan (the Omnibus Plan) in which
grants can be made to participants in any of the following forms: (i) incentive stock options,
(ii) non-qualified stock options, (iii) stock appreciation rights, (iv) stock units, (v) stock
awards, (vi) dividend equivalents, and (vii) other stock-based awards. The Omnibus Plan
authorizes up to 3,500,000 shares of our Class A common stock for issuance, subject to adjustment
in certain circumstances. The Omnibus Plan provides that the maximum aggregate number of shares
of Class A common stock that may be granted, other than dividend equivalents, to any individual
during any calendar year is 1,000,000 shares, subject to adjustments. In addition, the maximum
aggregate number of shares of Class A common stock with respect to grants of stock units, stock
awards and other stock-based awards that may be granted to any individual during a calendar year
is also 1,000,000 shares, subject to adjustments.
1999 Stock Option Plans
In September 1999, we adopted an employee incentive stock option plan (the 1999 ISO Plan)
and a non-employee director stock option plan (the 1999 NQ Plan, and together with the 1999 ISO
Plan, the 1999 Stock Option Plans). Options granted under the 1999 ISO Plan vest according to the
terms determined by the compensation committee of our board of directors, and have a contractual
life of up to ten years from the date of grant. Options granted under the 1999 NQ Plan vest 20%
upon grant and 20% each year for the first four years from the date of grant. All options granted
under the 1999 ISO Plan and the 1999 NQ Plan vest immediately upon a change in control of SBS, as
defined therein. A total of 3,000,000 shares and 300,000 shares of Class A common stock were
reserved for issuance under the 1999 ISO Plan and the 1999 NQ Plan, respectively. In September
2009, our 1999 Stock Option Plans expired; therefore, no more options can be granted under these
plans.
Stock Options and Nonvested Shares Activity
Stock options have only been granted to employees and directors. Our stock options have
various vesting schedules and are subject to the employees and directors continuing their service
to SBS. We recognize compensation expense based on the estimated grant date fair value using the
Black-Scholes option pricing model and recognize the compensation expense using a straight-line
amortization method. When estimating forfeitures, we consider voluntary termination behaviors, as
well as trends of actual option forfeitures. Ultimately, our stock-based compensation expense is
based on awards that vest. Our stock-based compensation has been reduced for estimated
forfeitures.
A summary of the status of our stock options, as of December 31, 2009 and June 30, 2010, and
changes during the six-months ended June 30, 2010, is presented below (in thousands, except per

therefore, no cash payments were received. In addition, we did not recognize a tax benefit on our
stock-based compensation expense due to our valuation allowance on substantially all of our
deferred tax assets.

Nonvested shares (restricted stock or restricted stock units) are awarded to employees
under our Omnibus Plan. In general, nonvested shares will vest over three to five years and are
subject to the employees continuing their service to us. The cost of nonvested shares is
determined using the fair value of our common stock on the date of grant. The compensation
expense is recognized over the vesting period.
A summary of the status of our nonvested shares, as of December 31, 2009 and June 30, 2010,

3. Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share
Basic net income (loss) per common share was computed by dividing net income (loss)
applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and
convertible preferred stock outstanding for each period presented, using the if converted
method. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed by giving effect to common stock
equivalents as if they were outstanding for the entire period.
For the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2010, potential common shares were
dilutive due to net income applicable to common stockholders. For the three- and six-month
periods ended June 30, 2009, potential common shares were anti-dilutive due to a net loss
applicable to common stockholders.
The following is a reconciliation of the shares used in the computation of basic and diluted
net income (loss) per share for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 (in
thousands):

6. Income Taxes
We have determined that due to a number of reasons, we are no longer able to estimate our
annual effective tax rate during our interim periods, which would be applied to our pre-tax
ordinary income. We are calculating our effective income tax rate using a year-to-date income tax
calculation. Our income tax expense differs from the statutory federal tax rate of 35% and
related statutory state tax rates, primarily as a result of the reversal of our deferred tax
liabilities related to the tax amortization of our FCC broadcasting licenses, which could no
longer be assured over our net operating loss carry forward period. Therefore, our effective tax
rate is impacted by the establishment of a valuation allowance on substantially all of our
deferred tax assets.
We file federal, state and local income tax returns in the United States and Puerto Rico.
The tax years that remain subject to assessment of additional liabilities by the United States
federal, state, and local tax authorities are 2006 through 2009. The tax years that remain
subject to assessment of additional liabilities by the Puerto Rico tax authority are 2004 through
2009.
Based on our evaluation, we have concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax
positions requiring recognition in our consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2010 and
December 31, 2009.
7. Litigation
We are subject to certain legal proceedings and claims that have arisen in the ordinary
course of business and have not been fully adjudicated. In our opinion, we do not have a
potential liability related to any current legal proceedings and claims that would individually
or in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or operating
results. However, the results of legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty. Should we
fail to prevail in any of these legal matters or should all of these legal matters be resolved
against us in the same reporting period, the operating results of a particular reporting period
could be materially adversely affected.
8. Derivative and Hedging Activities
At June 30, 2010, derivative financial instruments are comprised of the following (in
thousands):
Fixed | ||||||||||||||
interest | Expiration | Notional | Fair | |||||||||||
Agreement | rate | date | amounts | value | ||||||||||
Interest rate swap |
5.98 | % | June 2010 | $ | | $ | | |||||||
Interest rate swap |
6.31 | % | January 2017 | 6,605 | 838 | |||||||||
$ | 6,605 | $ | 838 | |||||||||||
In June 2005, we entered into a five-year interest rate swap agreement for the original
notional principal amount of $324.2 million whereby we paid a fixed interest rate of 5.98% as
compared to interest at a floating rate equal to three-month LIBOR plus 175 basis points. The
interest rate swap amortization schedule was identical to the First Lien Credit Facility
amortization schedule during June 2005 to June 2010.
In September and October 2008, the counterparty to this interest rate swap, Lehman Brothers
Special Financing Inc., and its parent and credit support provider, Lehman Brothers Holdings
Inc., each filed for bankruptcy. Based on these bankruptcy filings, this cash flow hedge was
deemed ineffective and no longer qualified for hedge accounting. Therefore, the change in fair
value from September 2008 to June 2010 was recorded in earnings as a Change in fair value of
derivative instrument. For the three-month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, the change in
the fair value of derivative instrument totaled $3.0 million and $(0.4) million, respectively.
For the six-month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, the change in the fair value of
derivative instrument totaled $5.9 million and $2.5 million, respectively. Additionally, the
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss associated with this hedge as of September 2008 was $7.8
million and was reclassified into earnings (interest expense) monthly until June 2010. For the
six-month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, $1.9 million and $2.7 million were reclassified
and recorded as interest expense, respectively.

Table of Contents
As a result of the Lehman bankruptcy filings, a dispute arose with respect to the
outstanding payments under the swap agreement. On June 17, 2010, the parties successfully
resolved the dispute under mediation and entered into a confidential settlement and release
agreement. The financial impact of the settlement is reflected in our unaudited condensed
consolidated balance sheet and statement of operations.
On January 4, 2007, we entered into a ten-year interest rate swap agreement for the original
notional principal amount of $7.7 million whereby we will pay a fixed interest rate of 6.31%, as
compared to interest at a floating rate equal to one-month LIBOR plus 125 basis points. The
interest rate swap amortization schedule is identical to the promissory note amortization
schedule, which has an effective date of January 4, 2007, monthly notional reductions and an
expiration date of January 4, 2017.
9. Fair Value Measurement Disclosures
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Cash and cash equivalents, receivables, as well as accounts payable, and other current
liabilities, as reflected in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, approximate
fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. The estimated fair value of
our other long-term debt instruments, approximate their carrying amounts as the interest rates
approximate our current borrowing rate for similar debt instruments of comparable maturity, or
have variable interest rates.
Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market
information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates are subjective in
nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be
determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.
The estimated fair values of our financial instruments are as follows (in millions):
June 30, 2010 | December 31, 2009 | |||||||||||||||
Gross | Gross | |||||||||||||||
Carrying | Carrying | |||||||||||||||
Description | Amount | Fair Value | Amount | Fair Value | ||||||||||||

Promissory note payable, included in other long-term debt |
6.6 | 6.5 | 6.8 | 6.5 |
The fair value estimates of these financial instruments were based upon either: (a)
market quotes from a major financial institution taking into consideration the most recent market
activity, or (b) a discounted cash flow analysis taking into consideration current rates.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations
Overview
We own and/or operate 21 radio stations in markets that reach approximately 48% of the
Hispanic population in the U.S., including Puerto Rico. In addition, we own and operate two television
stations and have various affiliation, distribution and/or programming agreements, which allow us
to reach approximately 6.5 million households throughout the U.S., including Puerto Rico.
The success of each of our stations depends significantly upon its audience ratings and its
share of the overall advertising revenue within its market. The broadcasting industry is a highly
competitive business, but some barriers to entry do exist. Each of our stations competes with
both Spanish-language and English-language stations in its market, as well as with other
advertising media, such as newspapers, cable television, the Internet, magazines, outdoor
advertising, satellite radio and television, transit advertising and direct mail marketing.
Factors which are material to our competitive position include management experience, our
stations rank in their markets, signal strength and frequency, and audience demographics,
including the nature of the Spanish-language market targeted by a particular station.

Table of Contents
Our primary source of revenue is the sale of advertising time on our stations to local and
national advertisers. Revenue is affected primarily by the advertising rates that our stations
are able to charge, as well as the overall demand for advertising time in each respective market.
Seasonal net broadcasting revenue fluctuations are common in the broadcasting industry and are
primarily due to fluctuations in advertising demand from local and national advertisers.
Typically for the broadcasting industry, the first calendar quarter generally produces the lowest
revenue. Our most significant operating expenses are usually compensation expenses, programming
expenses, professional fees, and advertising and promotional expenses. Senior management strives
to control these expenses, as well as other expenses, by working closely with local station
management and others, including vendors.
Our radio 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 also the largest and second largest radio
markets in the United States in terms of advertising revenue, respectively. We format the
programming of each of our radio stations to capture a substantial share of the U.S. Hispanic
audience in their respective markets. The U.S. Hispanic population is diverse, consisting of
numerous identifiable groups from many different countries of origin and
each with its own musical and cultural heritage. The music, culture, customs and Spanish
dialects vary from one radio market to another. We strive to maintain familiarity with the
musical tastes and preferences of each of the various Hispanic ethnic groups and customize our
programming to match the local preferences of our target demographic audience in each market we
serve. Our radio revenue is generated primarily from the sale of local and national advertising.
Our television stations and related affiliates operate under the MegaTV brand. We have
created a unique television format which focuses on entertainment, current events and variety
with high-quality production. Our programming is formatted to capture shares of the U.S. Hispanic
audience by focusing on our core strengths as an entertainment company, thus offering a new
alternative compared to the traditional Latino channels. MegaTVs programming is based on a
strategy designed to showcase a combination of programs, ranging from televised radio-branded
shows to general entertainment programs, such as music, celebrity, debate, interviews and
personality based shows. As part of our strategy, we have incorporated certain of our on-air
personalities into our programming, as well as including interactive elements to complement our
Internet websites. We develop and produce more than 70% of our programming and obtain other
content from Spanish-language production partners. Our television revenue is generated primarily
from the sale of local advertising and paid programming.
As part of our operating business, we also operate LaMusica.com, Mega.tv, and our radio
station websites which are bilingual (Spanish English) websites providing content related to
Latin music, entertainment, news and culture. LaMusica.com and our network of station websites
generate revenue primarily from advertising and sponsorship. In addition, the majority of our
station websites simultaneously stream our stations content, which has broadened the audience
reach of our radio stations. We also occasionally produce live concerts and events throughout the
United States, including Puerto Rico.

Table of Contents
Net Revenue
The decrease in our consolidated net revenue of $1.2 million or 3% was due to the decrease
in our radio segment net revenue. Our radio segment net revenue decreased $1.4 million or 4%,
primarily due to national sales. The decrease in national sales occurred in all of our markets,
with the exception of our San Francisco and Puerto Rico markets. Our television segment net
revenue increased $0.2 million or 4%, primarily due to an increase in local spot sales and
integrated sales, offset by a decrease in paid programming.
Engineering and Programming Expenses
The decrease in our consolidated engineering and programming expenses of $1.2 million or 11%
was due to the decrease in our radio segment expenses. Our radio segment expenses decreased $1.4
million or 20%, primarily related to decreases in compensation and benefits for technical and
programming personnel due to headcount reductions and music license fees. Our television segment
expenses increased $0.2 million or 4%, primarily due to an increase in broadcasting rights fees
for our new Puerto Rico, New York and Chicago outlets, offset by a decrease in acquired and
original produced programming content.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
The decrease in our consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses of $1.6
million or 13% was due to decreases in both our radio and television segment expenses. Our radio
segment expenses decreased $1.2 million or 12%, primarily due to decreases in rating services
fees, facilities expenses and compensation and benefits for our selling, general and
administrative personnel resulting from headcount reductions. Our television segment expenses
decreased $0.4 million or 19%, primarily due to a decrease in professional fees, facilities
expense and compensation and benefits for our selling, general and administrative personnel due
to headcount reductions.
Corporate Expenses
The decrease in corporate expenses was primarily a result of decreases in compensation and
benefits for our corporate personnel.
Operating Income
The increase in operating income was mainly due to the decrease in our operating expenses,
offset by the decrease in our net revenue.
Interest Expense, Net
In September and October 2008, the counterparty to an interest rate swap, Lehman Brothers
Special Financing Inc., and its parent and credit support provider, Lehman Brothers Holdings
Inc., each filed for bankruptcy. Based on these bankruptcy filings, this cash flow hedge was
deemed ineffective. As a result of the Lehman bankruptcy filings, a dispute arose with respect
to the outstanding payments under the swap agreement. On June 17, 2010, the parties successfully
resolved the dispute under mediation and entered into a confidential settlement and release
agreement, resulting in a decrease in interest expense.
Change in Fair Value of Derivative Instrument
In September and October 2008, the counterparty to an interest rate swap, Lehman Brothers
Special Financing Inc., and its parent and credit support provider, Lehman Brothers Holdings
Inc., each filed for bankruptcy. Based on these bankruptcy filings, this cash flow hedge was
deemed ineffective and no longer qualified for hedge accounting. Therefore, the change in fair
value from September 2008 to June 2010 was recorded in earnings as a Change in fair value of
derivative instrument. For the three-month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, the change in
the fair value of derivative instrument totaled $3.0 million and $(0.4) million, respectively.
Income Taxes
The income tax expense of $1.8 million arose primarily from the income tax expense resulting
from the tax amortization of our FCC broadcasting licenses.
Net Income
The increase in net income was primarily due to the decreases in operating expenses,
interest expense, and the increase in change in fair value of derivative instrument.

Net Revenue
The increase in our consolidated net revenue of $1.8 million or 3% was due to increases in
both our radio and television segment net revenues. Our radio segment net revenue increased $1.5
million or 3%, primarily due to special events and local sales, offset by a decrease in national
sales. The increase in special events occurred in our Puerto Rico and Los Angeles markets and
the increase in local sales occurred in all of our markets, with the exception of our Chicago and
San Francisco markets. The decrease in national sales occurred in all of our markets, with the
exception of our San Francisco market. Our television segment net revenue increased $0.3 million
or 4%, primarily due to an increase in local spot sales and integrated sales, offset by a
decrease in paid programming.
Engineering and Programming Expenses
The decrease in our consolidated engineering and programming expenses of $2.4 million or 11%
was due to the decrease in our radio segment expenses. Our radio segment expenses decreased $3.0
million or 21%, primarily related to decreases in compensation and benefits for technical and
programming personnel due to headcount reductions and music license fees. Our television segment
expenses increased $0.6 million or 8%, primarily due to an increase in broadcasting rights fees
for our new Puerto Rico, New York and Chicago outlets, offset by a decrease in acquired and
original produced programming content.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
The decrease in our consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses of $0.2
million or 1% was due to the decrease in our television segment expenses. Our television segment
expenses decreased $0.7 million or 16%, primarily due to a decrease in barter expenses,
facilities expenses, professional fees and compensation and benefits for our selling, general and
administrative personnel resulting from headcount reductions. Our radio segment expenses increased $0.5
million or 3%, primarily due to increases in special event expenses and the allowance for
doubtful accounts.
Corporate Expenses
The decrease in corporate expenses was primarily a result of decreases in compensation and
benefits for our corporate personnel due to headcount reductions, professional fees and
insurance.
Operating Income (Loss)
The increase in operating income was mainly due to the increase in our net revenue and our
decreases in operating expenses and impairment of assets and restructuring costs of $10.7
million.
Interest Expense, Net
In September and October 2008, the counterparty to an interest rate swap, Lehman Brothers
Special Financing Inc., and its parent and credit support provider, Lehman Brothers Holdings
Inc., each filed for bankruptcy. Based on these bankruptcy filings, this cash flow hedge was
deemed ineffective. As a result of the Lehman bankruptcy filings, a dispute arose with respect
to the outstanding payments under the swap agreement. On June 17, 2010, the parties successfully
resolved the dispute under mediation
and entered into a confidential settlement and release agreement, resulting in a decrease in
interest expense.

Change in Fair Value of Derivative Instrument
In September and October 2008, the counterparty to an interest rate swap, Lehman Brothers
Special Financing Inc., and its parent and credit support provider, Lehman Brothers Holdings
Inc., each filed for bankruptcy. Based on these bankruptcy filings, this cash flow hedge was
deemed ineffective and no longer qualified for hedge accounting. Therefore, the change in fair
value from September 2008 to June 2010 was recorded in earnings as a Change in fair value of
derivative instrument. For the six-month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, the change in the
fair value of derivative instrument totaled $5.9 million and $2.5 million, respectively.
Income Taxes
The income tax expense of $3.5 million arose primarily from the income tax expense resulting
from the tax amortization of our FCC broadcasting licenses.
Net Income (Loss)
The increase in net income was primarily due to the increase in operating income related
primarily to the increase in net revenue and the decreases in operating expenses and the
impairment of assets and restructuring costs.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents ($44.6 million as of June 30,
2010) and cash expected to be provided by operations. Our cash flow from operations is subject to
such factors as overall advertising demand, shifts in population, station listenership and
viewership, demographics, audience tastes and fluctuations in preferred advertising media. Our
ability to raise funds by increasing our indebtedness is limited by the terms of the certificates
of designation governing our Series B preferred stock and the credit agreement governing our
senior secured credit facility. Additionally, our certificates of designation 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.
Our strategy is to primarily utilize cash flows from operations to meet our capital needs
and contractual obligations. Management continually projects anticipated cash requirements and
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, among other
things, required quarterly interest and principal payments pursuant to the credit agreement
governing our senior secured credit facility term loan due 2012, and capital expenditures,
excluding the acquisitions of FCC broadcasting licenses. While not significant to us to date, the
disruptions in the capital and credit markets may result in increased borrowing costs associated
with our short-term and long-term debt. Assumptions (none of which can be assured) which underlie
managements beliefs, include the following:
| the demand for advertising within the broadcasting industry and economic conditions in general will not deteriorate further in any material respect; | ||
| we will continue to successfully implement our business strategy; and | ||
| we will not incur any material unforeseen liabilities, including but not limited to taxes, environmental liabilities, regulatory matters and legal judgments. |
As a result of the decrease in the demand for advertising and the deterioration of the
economy, we began to implement a restructuring plan in the third quarter of fiscal year 2008 to
reduce expenses throughout the Company. We incurred expenses related to the termination of
various programming contracts and personnel and a loss on a sublease of office space. As of June
30, 2010, the total accrued expenses on our consolidated balance sheet related to restructuring
activities were $0.4 million, which was included in other liabilities.
We evaluate strategic media acquisitions and/or dispositions and strive to expand our media
content through distribution and affiliations in order to achieve a significant presence with
clusters of stations in the top U.S. Hispanic markets. We engage in discussions regarding
potential acquisitions and/or dispositions and expansion of our content through media outlets
from time to time in the ordinary course of business. 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 or other available 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.

Net Cash Flows Provided by Operating Activities
Changes in our net cash flows from operating activities were primarily a result of the
increase in sales, offset by an increase in cash paid to vendors, including interest.
Net Cash Flows Used in Investing Activities
Changes in our net cash flows from investing activities were a result of the increase in our
capital expenditures.
Net Cash Flows Used in Financing Activities
Changes in our net cash flows from financing activities were primarily a result of the $15.0
million repayment of the Senior Credit Facility Revolver, offset by a decrease of $2.5 million
related to cash dividends not declared or paid on our Series B preferred stock which was due on
January 15, 2010.
Recent Developments
NASDAQ Audit Committee Compliance Letter
Our Board elected Mr. Manuel E. Machado as a director effective June 3, 2010. We notified
NASDAQ on June 4, 2010 that our Board determined that Mr. Machado is qualified to serve on the
Audit Committee of our Board under the requirements set forth in the NASDAQ Listing Rule
5605(c)(2) (the Rule), and that our Board appointed him to serve on the Audit Committee. As a
result, on June 7, 2010, we received a letter from NASDAQ stating that we regained compliance
with the Rule, which requires each listed company to maintain an audit committee composed of at
least three members who meet certain eligibility criteria.
Dividend Payment on the Series B Preferred Stock
Under the terms of our Series B preferred stock, the holders of the outstanding shares of
the Series B preferred stock are entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board,
dividends on the Series B preferred stock at a rate of 10 3/4 % per year, of the $1,000 liquidation
preference per share, payable quarterly.
In determining whether to declare and pay any prior or future cash dividends, our Board will
consider managements recommendation, our financial condition, as well as whether, under Delaware
law, sufficient surplus or net profits exist to pay such dividends.
During the fiscal years 2010 and 2009, our Board, under managements recommendation,
determined that based on the circumstances at the time, among other things, the then current
economic environment and future cash requirements, it was not prudent to declare or pay the July
15, 2010, January 15, 2010, October 15, 2009 and July 15, 2009 cash dividends in the aggregate
amount of approximately $9.9 million.

Lehman Hedge Settlement
In September and October 2008, the counterparty to an interest rate swap, Lehman Brothers
Special Financing Inc., and its parent and credit support provider, Lehman Brothers Holdings
Inc., each filed for bankruptcy. Based on these bankruptcy filings, this cash flow hedge was
deemed ineffective. As a result of the Lehman bankruptcy filings, a dispute arose with respect
to the outstanding payments under the swap agreement. On June 17, 2010, the parties successfully
resolved the dispute under mediation and entered into a confidential settlement and release
agreement, resulting in a decrease in interest expense.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to
have, a current or future material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial
condition, revenue or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital
resources.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation Of Disclosure Controls And Procedures. Our management, including 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 Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of 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 June 30, 2010 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
The information set forth under Note 7 contained in the Notes to Unaudited Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is incorporated by
reference in answer to this Item.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, you
should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, which could materially affect our
business, financial condition or future results. Other than the modification to the risk factor set forth below, there have been no material changes from the
risk factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009. The below risk factor and risk factors described in our Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 are not the only risks facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known
to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially and adversely affect our
business, financial condition and/or operating results.
The liquidity of our common stock
could be adversely affected if we are delisted from the NASDAQ Global
Market.
While we believe that
we currently meet all the listing requirements of the NASDAQ Stock Market, or
NASDAQ, there can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain the listing
of our common stock on the NASDAQ Global Market in the future.
Delisting from NASDAQ
would make trading our common stock more difficult for investors, potentially
leading to further declines in our share price. Without a NASDAQ listing,
stockholders may have a difficult time getting a quote for the sale or purchase
of our stock, the sale or purchase of our stock would likely be made more
difficult and the trading volume and liquidity of our stock would likely
decline. Delisting from NASDAQ would also result in negative publicity and
would also make it more difficult for us to raise additional capital. The
absence of such a listing may adversely affect the acceptance of our common
stock as currency or the value accorded it by other parties. Further, if we are
delisted, we would also incur additional costs under state blue sky laws in
connection with any sales of our securities. These requirements could severely
limit the market liquidity of our common stock and the ability of our
stockholders to sell our common stock in the secondary market.
If our common stock is
delisted by NASDAQ, our common stock may be eligible to trade on the OTC
Bulletin Board, an over-the-counter quotation system, or on the pink sheets
where an investor may find it more difficult to dispose of or obtain accurate
quotations as to the market value of our common stock. We cannot assure you
that our common stock, if delisted from the NASDAQ Global Market, will be
listed on a national securities exchange, a national quotation service, the OTC
Bulletin Board or the pink sheets.
