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. 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 March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 and for the
three-month periods ended March 31, 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 March
31, 2010 through the financial statements issuance date. The results of operations for the
three-month period ended March 31, 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 Options 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 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 March 31, 2010, and
changes during the three-months ended March 31, 2010, is presented below (in thousands, except per
share data):

During the three-months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, no stock options were exercised;
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

recognized over the vesting period.
A summary of the status of our nonvested shares, as of December 31, 2009 and March 31, 2010,

3. Basic and Diluted Net (Loss) Income Per Common Share
Basic net (loss) income per common share was computed by dividing net (loss) income 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
(loss) income per common share is computed by giving effect to common stock equivalents as if they
were outstanding for the entire period.
Common stock equivalents were not considered in the calculation for the three-month periods
ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, since their effect would be anti-dilutive. If included, the common
stock equivalents for these periods would have amounted to 154 and zero, respectively.

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 March 31, 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 March 31, 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 | $ | 308,750 | $ | 3,016 | |||||||||
Interest rate swap |
6.31 | % | January 2017 | 6,681 | 696 | |||||||||||
$ | 315,431 | $ | 3,712 | |||||||||||||
On June 29, 2005, we entered into a five-year interest rate swap agreement for the
original notional principal amount of $324.2 million whereby we will pay 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 is identical to the First Lien Credit Facility
amortization schedule during June 30, 2005 to June 30, 2010, which has an effective date of
June 29, 2005, quarterly notional reductions and an expiration date of June 30, 2010.

Table of Contents
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 no longer
qualifies for hedge accounting. Therefore, the change in fair value from September 15, 2008, the
last time this hedge was determined to be effective, to date, is being recorded in earnings as a
Change in fair value of derivative instrument. For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2010
and 2009, the change in the fair value of derivative instrument totaled $2.8 million and $2.9
million, respectively.
On September 15, 2008, the Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss associated with this hedge was
$7.8 million and will be reclassified into earnings (interest expense) over the remaining life of
the hedge, which terminates on June 30, 2010. For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2010 and
2009, $1.0 million and $1.2 million were reclassified and recorded as interest expense,
respectively. For the fiscal year 2010, we estimate that $1.9 million will be reclassified and
recorded as interest expense.
As a result of the Lehman bankruptcy filings, a dispute has arisen with respect to payments
under the swap agreement. We have agreed to non-binding mediation of our dispute with the counterparty
and we believe we will be able to resolve the dispute without
litigation.
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 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):
March 31, 2010 | December 31, 2009 | |||||||||||||||
Gross | Gross | |||||||||||||||
Carrying | Carrying | |||||||||||||||
Description | Amount | Fair Value | Amount | Fair Value | ||||||||||||

Promissory note payable, included in other
long-term debt |
6.7 | 6.4 | 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 U.S.
Hispanic population. 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.
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.
15
Table of Contents
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.

Net Revenue
The increase in our consolidated net revenue of $3.1 million or 11% was mainly due to the
increase in our radio segment net revenue. Our radio segment net revenue increased $2.9 million or
12%, primarily due to special events and local sales, as economic conditions continue to improve.
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 market. 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 $1.1 million or 10%
was due to the decrease in our radio segment expenses. Our radio segment expenses decreased
$1.6 million or 22%, primarily related to decreases in compensation and benefits for technical and
programming personnel due to headcount reductions. Our television segment expenses increased
$0.5 million or 13%, 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 increase in our consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses of $1.4 million
or 13% was due to the increase in our radio segment expenses. Our radio segment expenses increased
$1.7 million or 19%, primarily due to increases in special event expenses and the allowance for
doubtful accounts. Our television segment expenses decreased $0.3 million or 13%, primarily due
to a decrease in barter expenses 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 due to headcount reductions and professional fees.
Operating Income (Loss)
The increase in operating income was mainly due to the increase in our net revenue and a
decrease in our impairment of assets and restructuring costs of $10.6 million.
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.

Table of Contents
Net Loss
The decrease in net loss was primarily due to the increase in operating income related
primarily to the increase in net revenue and the decrease in the impairment of assets and
restructuring costs.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents ($60.6 million as of March 31,
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 revolver due 2010 and 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 March 31, 2010,
the total accrued expenses on our consolidated balance sheet related to restructuring activities
were $0.6 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 and the decrease 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 a result of our determination
that, based on, among other things, the current economic environment and future cash requirements,
it would not be prudent to declare or pay cash dividends on our Series B preferred stock which were
due on January 15, 2010.
Recent Developments
NASDAQ Notification Letters
NASDAQ Compliance Letter
On April 30, 2010, we received notification from NASDAQ that we regained compliance with the
$1.00 minimum closing bid price requirement in accordance with NASDAQ Listing Rule 5450(a)(1). The
NASDAQ Hearings Listing Qualifications Panel has determined to continue the listing of our
securities on The NASDAQ Stock Market.
Additionally, our Board of Directors have decided to abandon the proposed reverse stock split,
which, as explained in our Information Statement on Schedule 14(C) filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on April 26, 2010, was approved by written consent on April 13, 2010 by our
majority stockholder for the sole purpose of regaining compliance with the NASDAQ Listing Rule.
NASDAQ Audit Committee Compliance Letter
On August 14, 2009, we notified NASDAQ that due to the vacancy created by Antonio Fernandezs
voluntary resignation as a member of the Board and the Audit Committee, we were no longer in
compliance with NASDAQ Rule 5605(c)(2) pertaining to audit committee requirements. Mr. Fernandez,
who was one of our independent directors and a member of our Audit Committee, resigned
from the Board.
As a result, on August 27, 2009, we received a letter from NASDAQ notifying us that we are not
in compliance with the audit committee requirements as set forth in NASDAQ Listing Rule 5605(c)(2).
NASDAQs letter advises us that, consistent with NASDAQ Listing Rules 5605(b)(1)(A) and 5605(c)(4),
NASDAQ will provide us a cure period to regain compliance until the earlier of our next annual
shareholders meeting or August 11, 2010. Our Annual Meeting is scheduled for June 3, 2010;
therefore, we have until June 3, 2010 to comply with NASDAQs audit committee requirements. We are
actively seeking a third independent director to serve on the Audit Committee and anticipate being
able to comply with NASDAQs audit committee requirements within the cure period allowed by NASDAQ.

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 of
Directors, 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.
During the fiscal year 2009, our Board of Directors, under managements recommendation,
determined that based on, among other things, the then current economic environment and future cash
requirements, it would not be prudent to declare or pay the January 15, 2010, October 15, 2009 and
July 15, 2009 cash dividends in the aggregate amount of approximately $7.5 million.
On April 13, 2010, the Board of Directors declared the April 15, 2010 cash dividend of
approximately $2.5 million, which was subsequently paid on April 15, 2010.
Currently, our Board of Directors has not yet determined whether to pay the scheduled July 15,
2010 dividend. In determining whether to declare and pay any future cash dividends, our Board of
Directors will consider managements recommendation, our financial condition, as well as whether,
under Delaware law, sufficient surplus or net profits exist to pay such dividends.
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 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-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 March 31, 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 to the Companys risk factors previously disclosed
in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009. The below risk factor and
the 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 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.
Due to the vacancy created by Antonio Fernandezs voluntary resignation as a member of the
Board and the Audit Committee, we were no longer in compliance with NASDAQ Rule 5605(c)(2)
pertaining to audit committee requirements. The NASDAQ Stock Market, or NASDAQ, has granted us
additional time to try to regain compliance with the audit committee requirements. We have until
the earlier of our next annual shareholders meeting or August 11, 2010 to regain such compliance.
Our Annual Meeting is scheduled for June 3, 2010; therefore, we have until June 3, 2010 to comply
with NASDAQs audit committee requirements. Failing to comply with NASDAQs audit committee
requirements will cause our Class A common stock to be delisted.
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 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.
