RADIO ONE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

 

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

 

Organization and Business

 

Radio One, Inc. (a Delaware corporation referred to as Radio One) and subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the Company) were organized to acquire, operate and maintain radio broadcasting stations. The Company owns and/or operates radio stations in 22 markets throughout the United States. The Company also provides programming services to XM Satellite Radio Inc.

 

The Company has made and may continue to make significant acquisitions of radio stations, which may require it to incur additional debt. The Company’s operating results are significantly affected by its share of the audience in markets where it owns and/or operates stations.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Radio One, Inc. and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Interim Financial Statements

 

The interim consolidated financial statements included herein for Radio One and subsidiaries have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In management’s opinion, the interim financial data presented herein include all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.

 

Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year. It is suggested that these consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the Company’s December 31, 2002 consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K.

2.    RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:

 

In June 2001, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 142 (SFAS No. 142), “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” This pronouncement requires a non-amortization approach to account for purchased goodwill and certain other intangible assets. Under a non-amortization approach, goodwill and certain intangibles will not be amortized into results of operations but, instead, would be reviewed for impairment and written down and charged to results of operations only in the periods in which the recorded value of goodwill and certain intangibles is more than their fair value. Upon adopting the transitional rules of SFAS No. 142, the Company recorded an impairment charge of approximately $23.2 million, net of an income tax benefit of $14.5 million in the first quarter of 2002, as the carrying value of certain of the Company’s FCC licenses exceeded the appraised fair value. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, the Company reflected this charge as a cumulative effect of an accounting change, effective January 1, 2002, in its statement of operations.

 

The Company adopted the final provision of SFAS No. 142 in the fourth quarter of 2002 by reviewing the fair value of its reporting units and comparing that fair value to the net book value of the reporting unit. To the extent a reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeded its fair value, an indication would exist that the reporting unit’s goodwill was impaired, and the Company would then be required to perform the second step of the transitional impairment test. In the second step, the Company compared the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill, determined by allocating the reporting unit’s fair value to all of its assets and liabilities in a manner similar to a purchase price allocation in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 141 (SFAS No. 141), “Business Combinations”, to its carrying amount, both of which would be measured as of the date of adoption. Based on this analysis, the Company determined that it had an impairment of goodwill (as defined in SFAS No. 142) in its Augusta, Georgia market. The Company calculated the amount of the impairment and recorded an impairment charge of approximately $6.6 million, net of an income tax benefit of $496,000 during the fourth quarter of 2002. As the provisions of SFAS No. 142 related to the impairment of goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets are effective as of January 1, 2002, the financial information for the six months ended June 30, 2002, which preceded the period in which the transitional goodwill impairment charge was measured, has been restated to reflect the accounting change in that period.

 

In January 2003, FASB issued Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 46 (FIN 46), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51.” This interpretation of ARB No. 51, “Consolidated Financial Statements, “ requires certain variable interest entities to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary of the entity if the equity investors in the entity do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. FIN 46 is effective immediately for all new variable interest entities created or acquired after January 31, 2003. For variable interest entities created or acquired prior to February 1, 2003, the provisions of FIN 46 must be applied for the first interim or annual period beginning after June 15, 2003. The adoption of FIN 46 did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position for the period ended June 30, 2003.

3.    STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION:

 

The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation plans as permitted by Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123 (SFAS No. 123), “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” which allows the Company to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (APB No. 25), “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” and recognize no compensation cost for options granted to employees at fair market value. The Company has computed, for pro forma disclosure purposes, the value of all compensatory options granted during 2002 and 2003, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Options were assumed to be exercised upon vesting for the purpose of this valuation. Adjustments were also made for options assumed forfeited prior to vesting. Had compensation costs for compensatory options been determined consistent with SFAS No. 123, the Company’s pro forma net (loss) income and earnings (loss) per share information reflected on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations would have been adjusted to the following “as adjusted” amounts:

4.    SUBSEQUENT EVENTS:

 

WRNB-FM Dayton Acquisition

 

In July 2003, the Company purchased the outstanding stock of Hawes-Saunders Broadcast Properties, Inc., owner and operator of WRNB-FM (formerly WROU-FM) licensed to West Carrollton, Ohio, for approximately $9.5 million in cash. WRNB-FM had been a primary competitor of one of the Company’s other stations in the Dayton market. The Company began operating the station under a local marketing agreement in March 2003. This acquisition increased the number of stations that the Company owns in the Dayton market to five.

 

TV One Joint Venture

 

In July 2003, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with Comcast Corporation to launch TV One, LLC, a cable television network featuring entertainment, news, opinion and sports-related programming targeted primarily towards African-American viewers. The Company expects to make a cash investment of approximately $74.0 million over four years, and to provide advertising and management services to the network. In August 2003, the Company made its first capital contribution of approximately $18.5 million to TV One, LLC. The Company will be accounting for this investment under the equity method of accounting.

Item 2.     Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

The following information should be read in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in this quarterly report and the audited financial statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis contained in Radio One’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002. Unless otherwise noted, the terms “Radio One,” “we,” and “us” refer to Radio One, Inc. and its subsidiaries.

 

General

 

Our net broadcast revenue is derived primarily from local and national advertisers and, to a much lesser extent, tower rental income, ticket and other revenue related to special events sponsored throughout the year. Our net broadcast revenue is affected primarily by the advertising rates our radio stations are able to charge as well as the overall demand for radio advertising time in a market.

 

Advertising rates are based primarily on:

 

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

 

    the number of radio stations in the market competing for the same demographic groups; and

 

    the supply of and demand for radio advertising time.

 

Our significant broadcast expenses are (i) employee salaries and commissions, (ii) programming expenses, (iii) advertising and promotion expenses, (iv) rental of premises for studios, (v) rental of transmission tower space and (vi) music license royalty fees. We strive to control these expenses by centralizing certain functions such as finance, accounting, legal, human resources and management information systems and the overall programming management function. We also use our multiple stations, market presence and purchasing power to negotiate favorable rates with certain vendors and national representative selling agencies.

 

We generally incur advertising and promotional expenses to increase our audiences. However, because Arbitron ratings are reported on a quarterly basis, any changed ratings and the corresponding effect on advertising revenues tends to lag behind the incurrence of advertising and promotional expenditures.

 

The performance of a radio broadcasting company is customarily measured by its ability to generate EBITDA, which is calculated as net income plus (1) depreciation, amortization, non-cash compensation, interest expense, income tax provision and cumulative effect of accounting change and less (2) other income. EBITDA is not a measure of performance or liquidity calculated in accordance with GAAP; however, we believe that this measure is useful to an investor in evaluating us because this measure is widely used in the broadcast industry as a measure of a radio broadcasting company’s performance. Nevertheless, EBITDA should not be considered in isolation from nor as a substitute for operating income, net income, cash flow, or other consolidated income or cash flow statement data computed in accordance with GAAP, nor as a measure of our profitability or liquidity. Despite its limitation, EBITDA is widely used in the broadcasting industry to measure a company’s operating performance without regard to items such as depreciation and amortization, which can vary depending upon accounting methods and the book value of assets, particularly in the case of acquisitions. By eliminating such effects, EBITDA provides a meaningful measure of overall company performance after taking into account corporate operating expenses related to the employment of the senior management team and other overhead costs associated with running a large, publicly-traded broadcasting company.

Net broadcast revenue increased to approximately $80.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 from approximately $80.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 or 1%. Net broadcast revenue increased to approximately $144.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 from approximately $138.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 or 4%. These increases were the result of net broadcast revenue growth in several of Radio One’s markets, including Atlanta, Cleveland, Dallas and Los Angeles, partially offset by revenue declines in several other markets, including Baltimore, Houston, Philadelphia and Richmond.

 

Operating expenses increased to approximately $45.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 from approximately $44.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 or 2%. Operating expenses increased to approximately $88.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 from approximately $84.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 or 4%. Operating expenses excluding depreciation, amortization and non-cash compensation increased to approximately $40.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 from approximately $39.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 or 2%. Operating expenses excluding depreciation,

Table of Contents

amortization and non-cash compensation increased to approximately $78.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 from approximately $75.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 or 4%. These increases in expenses were related primarily to (1) increased variable expenses associated with increased revenue and (2) higher programming expenses in certain markets with new radio station formats and/or programming, such as with two relatively young stations in Atlanta and the syndication of the Steve Harvey Morning Show to one of Radio One’s Dallas stations.

 

Operating income decreased to approximately $35.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 from approximately $35.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 or 1%. This decrease in operating income was primarily attributable to higher revenue more than offset by higher operating expenses as described above. Operating income increased to approximately $56.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 from approximately $54.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 or 4%. This increase in operating income was primarily attributable to higher revenue partially offset by higher operating expenses.

 

Interest expense decreased to approximately $10.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 from approximately $14.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 or 28%. Interest expense decreased to approximately $21.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 from approximately $31.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 or 33%. These decreases relate primarily to a reduction of outstanding bank debt (starting in the middle of the second quarter of 2002) with the proceeds received from the Company’s April 2002 equity offering and from principal payments made, beginning at the end of the first quarter of 2003, as well as lower interest rates on that bank debt as a result of declining leverage and lower market interest rates over the past 12 months.

 

Other income (almost exclusively interest income) increased to approximately $0.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 compared to approximately $0.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 or 40%. Other income increased to approximately $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to approximately $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 or 27%. These increases were primarily due to higher cash balances for the same periods in 2003 than in 2002.

 

Income before provision for income taxes and cumulative effect of an accounting change increased to approximately $25.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 compared to income before provision for income taxes and cumulative effect of an accounting change of approximately $21.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 or 19%. This increase was due primarily to lower interest expense as described above. Income before provision for income taxes and cumulative effect of an accounting change increased to approximately $36.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to income before provision for income taxes and cumulative effect of an accounting change of approximately $23.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 or 56%. This increase was due primarily to higher operating income due to higher revenue and lower interest expense as described above.

 

Income before cumulative effect of accounting change increased to approximately $15.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 compared to income before cumulative effect of an accounting change of approximately $13.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 or 19%. Income before cumulative effect of accounting change increased to approximately $22.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to income before cumulative effect of an accounting change of approximately $14.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 or 56%. These increases were due to higher income before provision for income taxes and cumulative effect of an accounting change compared to the previous year’s income, partially offset by a higher provision for income taxes in the same periods of 2003 than in 2002.

Table of Contents

Cumulative effect of accounting change was approximately $29.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002. This charge, net of income tax benefit of approximately $15.0 million, related to an impairment charge associated with the adoption of SFAS No. 142. Based on an analysis completed in accordance with SFAS No. 142, we calculated impairment on the carrying value of certain of our FCC broadcast licenses and goodwill amounts. See “Recent Accounting Pronouncements” below.

 

Net income increased to approximately $15.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 from approximately $13.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 or 19%. Net income increased to approximately $22.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to a net loss of approximately $15.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002. These increases were due to higher income before provision for income taxes and cumulative effect of an accounting change, as well as the effect of the accounting change in the first quarter of 2002, which reduced net income in that period by approximately $29.8 million.

 

Other Data

 

EBITDA was relatively unchanged at approximately $40.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 compared to approximately $40.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2002. EBITDA increased to approximately $66.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 from approximately $63.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 or 4%. This change was attributable primarily to the increase in net broadcast revenue partially offset by higher operating expenses and higher corporate expenses associated with Radio One’s overall growth, as described above.

 

(a)   “EBITDA” consists of net income plus (1) depreciation, amortization, non-cash compensation, interest expense, income tax provision and cumulative effect of accounting change and less (2) other income.

 

(b)   As of June 30, 2003, we had 104,606,000 shares of common stock outstanding on a weighted average basis and 105,141,000 shares of common stock outstanding for fully diluted purposes.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

Our primary source of liquidity is cash provided by operations and, to the extent necessary, commitments available under our bank credit facility and other debt or equity financing. We have a bank credit facility under which we have $324.0 million outstanding in term loans and may borrow up to $250.0 million on a revolving basis, and from which we have historically drawn down funds as capital was required, primarily for acquisitions. As of June 30, 2003, we were able to borrow up to $250.0 million, taking into account the covenant restrictions in effect on that date. In 2003, minimum principal payments in the aggregate amount of $52.5 million are due in equal quarterly installments of approximately $13.1 million. As of June 30, 2003, we have made $26.3 million in principal payments.

 

The credit facility requires that we comply with certain financial covenants limiting our ability to incur additional debt. Such terms also place restrictions on us with respect to the sale of assets, liens, investments, dividends, debt repayments, capital expenditures, transactions with affiliates, consolidation and mergers, and the issuance of equity interests, among other things. The credit facility also requires compliance with financial tests based on financial position and results of operations, including a leverage ratio, an interest coverage ratio and a fixed charge coverage ratio, all of which could effectively limit our ability to borrow under the credit facility or to otherwise raise funds in the debt markets.

 

Both the revolving commitment and term loan borrowings under our credit facility bear interest, at our option, at a rate equal to either LIBOR plus a spread that ranges from .625% to 2.000% or on the prime rate plus a spread of up to 1%, depending on our leverage ratio. Under the bank credit facility, we may be required from time to time to protect ourselves from interest rate fluctuations using interest rate hedge agreements. As a result, we have entered into various fixed rate swap agreements designed to mitigate our exposure to higher floating interest rates. These swap agreements require that we pay a fixed rate of interest on the notional amount to a bank and that bank pay to us a variable rate equal to three-month LIBOR. We currently have swap agreements in place for a total notional amount of $225.0 million. As of June 30, 2003 the periods remaining on the swap agreements range in duration from 12 to 38 months.

 

Our credit exposure under these swap agreements is limited to the cost of replacing an agreement in the event of non-performance by our counter-party; however, we do not anticipate non-performance. All of the swap agreements are tied to the three-month LIBOR interest rate, which may fluctuate significantly on a daily basis. The valuation of each of these swap agreements is affected by the change in the three-month LIBOR rates and the remaining term of the agreement. Any increase in the three-month LIBOR rate results in a more favorable valuation, while a decrease in the three-month LIBOR rate results in a less favorable valuation. The following table summarizes the interest rates in effect with respect to certain of our debt as of June 30, 2003.

(3)   Subject to rolling 90-day LIBOR plus a spread currently at 1.00% and incorporated into the applicable interest rate outlined above.

 

We have used, and may continue to use, a significant portion of our capital resources to consummate acquisitions. These acquisitions have been and may continue to be funded from (i) our credit facility (ii) the proceeds of the historical offerings of our common stock, (iii) the proceeds of future equity or debt offerings, and (iv) internally generated cash flow.

 

The following table provides a comparison of our statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2003.

Net cash from (used in) financing activities

   58,368,000           (36,455,000 )

 

Net cash flows from operating activities were approximately $45.8 million and $18.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The increase for the six months ended June 30, 2003 was primarily due to (i) an increase in net broadcast revenue, net of an increase in operating expenses, (ii) a decrease in outstanding trade receivables due to improved collection efforts, (iii) reduced leverage, and (iv) to a lesser extent, changes in other working capital components.

 

Net cash flows used in investing activities were approximately $10.7 million and $58.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2003, we completed the acquisition of WBLO-FM in the Louisville market for approximately $2.0 million and paid approximately $1.3 million to lease tower space in our Dallas market for the next 60 years. During the six months ended June 30, 2002, we completed the acquisition of the assets of WHTA-FM (formerly WPZE-FM) in the Atlanta, Georgia market for approximately $56.0 million. Capital expenditures were approximately $6.1 million and $5.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

Table of Contents

Net cash flows used in financing activities were approximately $36.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and net cash flows from financing activities were approximately $58.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002. During the six months ended June 30, 2003, we repaid $26.3 million of principal under our bank credit facility. During the six months ended June 30, 2002, certain selling shareholders and we completed an offering of 11,500,000 shares of class D common stock at an offering price of $20.25 per share. Through this offering, we received proceeds of approximately $198.8 million after deducting offering costs. Approximately $130.0 million of the proceeds were used to partially repay amounts outstanding under our bank credit facility.

 

As a result of the aforementioned, cash and cash equivalents decreased by $1.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to an increase of approximately $18.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2002. Our balance of cash and cash equivalents was approximately $86.1 million as of December 31, 2002. Our balance of cash and cash equivalents was approximately $84.8 million as of June 30, 2003.

 

In addition to debt service and quarterly dividend payments of approximately $5.0 million on our 6.5% Convertible Preferred Securities, our principal liquidity requirements are working capital and general corporate purposes, including capital expenditures, and, if appropriate opportunities arise, acquisitions of additional radio stations and/or investments in other media related opportunities. We estimate that for all of 2003, capital expenditures will total approximately $10.5 to $11.5 million.

 

In July 2003, we purchased the outstanding stock of Hawes-Saunders Broadcast Properties, Inc., owner and operator of WRNB-FM (formerly WROU-FM) licensed to West Carrollton, Ohio for approximately $9.5 million in cash. In July 2003, we entered into a joint venture agreement to launch TV One, LLC, a cable television network in which we expect to invest approximately $74.0 million over four years. In August 2003, we made our first capital contribution of approximately $18.5 million to TV One, LLC.

 

During the quarter ended June 30, 2003, we obtained a standby letter of credit in the amount of $275,000 in connection with our annual insurance policy renewal. To date, there has been no activity on this standby letter of credit.

 

We believe that our current cash and cash investment balances, as well as anticipated cash flows generated from operations, will be sufficient to meet our working capital, capital expenditure and debt service requirements through at least the next 12 months.

 

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

In June 2001, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 142 (SFAS No. 142), “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” This pronouncement requires a non-amortization approach to account for purchased goodwill and certain other intangible assets. Under a non-amortization approach, goodwill and certain intangibles will not be amortized into results of operations but, instead, would be reviewed for impairment and written down and charged to results of operations only in the periods in which the recorded value of goodwill and certain intangibles is more than their fair value. Upon adopting the transitional rules of SFAS No. 142, we recorded an impairment charge of approximately $23.2 million, net of an income tax benefit of $14.5 million in the first quarter of 2002, as the carrying value of certain of our FCC licenses exceeded the appraised fair value. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, we reflected this charge as a cumulative effect of an accounting change, effective January 1, 2002, in our statement of operations.

 

We adopted the final provision of SFAS No. 142 in the fourth quarter of 2002 by reviewing the fair value of our reporting units and comparing that fair value to the net book value of the reporting unit. To the extent a reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeded its fair value, an indication would exist that the reporting unit’s goodwill was impaired, and we would then be required to perform the second step of the transitional impairment test. In the second step, we compared the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill, determined by allocating the reporting unit’s fair value to all of its assets and liabilities in a manner similar to a

 

31


Table of Contents

purchase price allocation in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Board Standard No. 141 (SFAS No. 141), “Business Combinations”, to its carrying amount, both of which would be measured as of the date of adoption. Based on this analysis, we determined that we had an impairment of goodwill (as defined in SFAS No. 142) in our Augusta, Georgia market. We calculated the amount of the impairment and recorded an impairment charge of approximately $6.6 million, net of an income tax benefit of $496,000 during the fourth quarter of 2002. As the provisions of SFAS No. 142 related to the impairment of goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets are effective as of January 1, 2002, the financial information for the six months ended June 30, 2002, which preceded the period in which the transitional goodwill impairment loss was measured, has been restated to reflect the accounting change in that period.

 

In January 2003, FASB issued Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 46 (FIN 46), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51.” This interpretation of ARB No. 51, “Consolidated Financial Statements, “ requires certain variable interest entities to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary of the entity if the equity investors in the entity do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. FIN 46 is effective immediately for all new variable interest entities created or acquired after January 31, 2003. For variable interest entities created or acquired prior to February 1, 2003, the provisions of FIN 46 must be applied for the first interim or annual period beginning after June 15, 2003. The adoption of FIN 46 did not have a material impact on our results of operations or financial position.

operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that, as of June 30, 2003, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in timely alerting them to material information required to be included in our periodic SEC reports. Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, including, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

 

We maintain a system of internal controls that are designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. There have been no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the date of our CEO’s and CFO’s last evaluation.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

In November 2001, Radio One and certain of its officers and directors were named as defendants in a class action shareholder complaint filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. Similar complaints were filed in the same court against hundreds of other public companies that conducted initial public offerings of their common stock in the late 1990s (the “Issuers”). Those cases are now consolidated under the caption In re Initial Public Offering Securities Litigation, Case No. 91 MC 92. In the amended complaint against Radio One, the plaintiffs allege that Radio One, certain of its officers and directors, and the underwriters of certain of its public offerings violated Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933 by failing to disclose in its registration statements material facts regarding the compensation to be received by, and the stock allocation practices of, the underwriters. The complaint also contains a claim for violation of section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 based on allegations that this omission constituted a deceit on investors. The plaintiffs seek unspecified monetary damages and other relief.

 

In October 2002, the parties agreed to toll the statute of limitations with respect to Radio One’s officers and directors until September 30, 2003, and on the basis of this agreement, the officers and directors were dismissed from the lawsuit without prejudice. In February 2003, the Court issued a decision denying the motion to dismiss the Section 11 claims against Radio One and almost all of the issuers, and denying the motion to dismiss the Section 10(b) claims against Radio One and many of the issuers.

 

In July 2003, a Special Litigation Committee of Radio One’s Board of Directors agreed to participate in a settlement with the plaintiffs that is anticipated to include most of the approximately 300 issuer defendants in similar actions. Once finalized, the settlement agreement will be subject to court approval and sufficient participation by issuer defendants in similar actions. The proposed settlement includes, without limitation, a guarantee of payments to the plaintiffs in the lawsuits, assignment of certain claims against the underwriters to the plaintiffs, and a dismissal of all claims against Radio One and related individuals. Other than legal fees incurred to date, Radio One expects that all expenses of settlement, if any, will be paid by its insurance carriers. Until such settlement is finalized, we and our officers and directors intend to continue to defend the actions vigorously.

 

We are involved from time to time in various routine legal and administrative proceedings and threatened legal and administrative proceedings incidental to the ordinary course of our business. We believe the resolution of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
