RADIO
ONE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
1. | ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: |
(a) | Interim Financial Statements |
The interim consolidated financial statements included herein
for Radio One, Inc. (a Delaware corporation referred to as
Radio One) and subsidiaries (collectively the
Company) have been prepared by the Company, without
audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission (SEC). In managements
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. This
form 10-Q
should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and
notes thereto included in the Companys 2005 Annual Report
on
Form 10-K.
To maintain
and/or
improve its competitive position, the Company has made, and may
continue to make, significant acquisitions of, and investments
in, radio stations and other complementary media properties.
(b) | Financial Instruments |
Financial instruments as of June 30, 2006 and
December 31, 2005 consisted of cash and cash equivalents,
trade accounts receivable, notes receivable (which are included
in other current assets), accounts payable, accrued expenses,
long-term debt and subscriptions receivable. The carrying
amounts approximated fair value for each of these financial
instruments as of June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005,
except for the Companys outstanding senior subordinated
notes. The
87/8% senior
subordinated notes had a fair value of approximately
$311.6 million and $316.9 million as of June 30,
2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively. The
63/8% senior
subordinated notes had a fair value of approximately
$183.0 million and $194.5 million as of June 30,
2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively. The fair value
was determined based on the fair market value of similar
instruments.
(c) | Revenue Recognition |
The Company recognizes revenue for broadcast advertising when
the commercial is broadcast and is reported, net of agency and
outside sales representative commissions, in accordance with
Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 104,
Topic 13, Revenue Recognition, Revised and
Updated. Agency and outside sales representative
commissions are calculated based on a stated percentage applied
to gross billing. Generally, clients remit the gross billing
amount to the agency or outside sales representative, and the
agency or outside sales representative remits the gross billing,
less their commission, to the Company. Agency and outside sales
representative commissions were approximately $12.0 million
and $13.0 million during the three months ended
June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Agency and outside
sales representative commissions were approximately
$21.8 million and $23.1 million during the six months
ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
(d) | Stock-Based Compensation |
On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS)
No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, using
the modified prospective method, which requires measurement of
compensation cost for all stock-based awards at fair value on
date of grant and recognition of compensation over the service
period for awards expected to vest. The fair value of stock
options is determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model,
which is consistent with our valuation techniques previously
used for options in footnote disclosures required under
SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation, as amended by SFAS No. 148,
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
Transition and Disclosure. Such fair value is
recognized as an expense over the service period, net of
estimated forfeitures, using the straight-line method under
SFAS No. 123(R). Estimating the number of stock awards
that will ultimately vest requires judgment, and to the
7
RADIO
ONE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
extent actual results or updated estimates differ from our
current estimates, such amounts will be recorded as a cumulative
adjustment in the period the estimates are revised. We consider
many factors when estimating expected forfeitures, including the
types of awards, employee class and historical experience.
Actual forfeitures may differ substantially from our current
estimates. See Note 8 Stockholders
Equity.
Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), tax
deduction benefits relating to stock-based compensation were
presented in the Companys consolidated Statements of Cash
Flows as operating cash flows, along with other tax cash flows,
in accordance with the provisions of Emerging Issues Task Force
(EITF)
No. 00-15,
Classification in the Statement of Cash Flows of the
Income Tax Benefit Received by a Company upon Exercise of a
Nonqualified Employee Stock Option.
SFAS No. 123(R) supersedes EITF
No. 00-15,
amends SFAS No. 95, Statement of Cash
Flows, and requires tax benefits relating to excess
stock-based compensation deductions to be prospectively
presented in the Companys consolidated Statements of Cash
Flows as financing cash flows instead of operating cash flows.
The Company is currently in a net operating loss tax position;
hence tax benefits resulting from stock-based compensation
deductions in excess of amounts reported for financial reporting
purposes were not recognized in financing cash flows during the
six months ended June 30, 2006.
(e) | Comprehensive Income |
The Companys comprehensive income consists of net income
and other items recorded directly to the equity accounts. The
objective is to report a measure of all changes in equity of an
enterprise that result from transactions and other economic
events during the period, other than transactions with owners.
The Companys other comprehensive income consists of gains
on derivative instruments that qualify for cash flow hedge
treatment.
The following table sets forth the components of comprehensive
income:

(f) | Net Income Applicable to Common Stockholders |
Net income applicable to common stockholders for the six months
ended June 30, 2005 is net income less dividends on the
Companys preferred stock of approximately
$2.8 million.
(g) | Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements |
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) issued Financial Accounting Standards Board
Interpretation (FIN) No. 48,
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes
Interpretation of SFAS No. 109, which
clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes.
FIN No. 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and
measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition
and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken
in a tax return. FIN No. 48 requires that the Company
recognize the impact of a tax position in the financial
statements, if that position is more likely than not of being
sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the
position. FIN No. 48 also provides guidance on
de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties,
accounting in interim periods and disclosure. The provisions of
FIN No. 48 are effective beginning January 1,
2007, with the cumulative effect of the change in accounting
principle recorded as an adjustment to

SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error
Corrections, which amends Accounting Principles Board
(APB) Opinion No. 20, Accounting
Changes, and SFAS No. 3, Reporting
Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements
An Amendment of APB Opinion No. 28, was issued in
May 2005. SFAS No. 154 requires retrospective
application to financial statements of prior periods for changes
in accounting principles that are not adopted prospectively.
This statement was effective January 1, 2006, and had no
impact on the Companys financial statements as of and for
the three and six months ended June 30, 2006.
2. | ACQUISITIONS: |
In May 2006, the Company acquired the assets of
WHHL-FM
(formerly WRDA-FM), a radio station located in the
St. Louis metropolitan area, for approximately
$20.0 million in cash. The Company began operating the
station under a local marketing agreement (LMA) in
October 2005, and the financial results since inception of the
LMA have been included in the Companys financial
statements. The station has been consolidated with the existing
St. Louis operations. The Companys preliminary purchase
price allocation consisted of $364,000 to definite-lived
intangibles (a favorable transmitter lease), $197,000 to
goodwill, $228,000 to transmitters and towers, and approximately
$19.3 million to radio broadcasting licenses on the
Companys Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30,
2006.
In February 2006, the Company signed an agreement and made a
deposit of $2.0 million to acquire the assets of
WIFE-FM, a
radio station located in the Cincinnati metropolitan area for
approximately $18.0 million in cash. The station will be
consolidated within the Companys existing Cincinnati
operations. The Company expects to complete the acquisition
during the second half of 2006.
In February 2005, the Company acquired 51% of the common stock
of Reach Media, Inc. (Reach Media) for approximately
$55.8 million in a combination of approximately
$30.4 million of cash and 1,809,648 shares of the
Companys Class D common stock valued at approximately
$25.4 million. The Companys preliminary purchase
price allocation consisted of approximately $40.4 million
to definite-lived intangibles (approximately $24.8 million
to a talent agreement, approximately $9.7 million to
intellectual property and approximately $5.9 million to
affiliate agreements), approximately $15.1 million to
deferred tax liability, approximately $30.0 million to
goodwill, and approximately $1.3 million to net assets on
the Companys Consolidated Balance Sheet as of
December 31, 2005. The final purchase price allocation was
completed in the first quarter of 2006. The allocation was
adjusted and consisted of approximately $36.5 million to
definite-lived intangibles (approximately $19.5 million to
a talent agreement, approximately $9.2 million to
intellectual property and approximately $7.8 million to
affiliate agreements), approximately $13.7 million to
deferred tax liability, approximately $32.5 million to
goodwill and approximately $1.3 million to net assets on
the Companys Consolidated Balance Sheet as of
June 30, 2006.
3. | GOODWILL, RADIO BROADCASTING LICENSES AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS: |
The fair value of goodwill and radio broadcasting licenses is
determined on a market basis using a discounted cash flow model
considering the markets revenue, the number of stations,
the performance of the stations, the Companys performance
and estimated multiples for the sale of stations in the market.
Because the assumptions used in estimating the fair value of
goodwill and radio broadcasting licenses are based on current
conditions, a change in market conditions or in the discount
rate could have a significant effect on the estimated value of
goodwill or radio broadcasting licenses. A significant decrease
in the fair value of goodwill or radio broadcasting licenses in
a market could result in an impairment charge. The Company
performs an impairment test as of October 1st of each
year, or when other conditions suggest an impairment may have
occurred.

4. | INVESTMENT IN AFFILIATED COMPANY: |
In July 2003, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement
with an affiliate of Comcast Corporation and other investors to
create TV One, LLC (TV One), an entity formed to
operate a cable television network featuring lifestyle,
entertainment and news-related programming targeted primarily
towards
African-American
viewers. The Company has committed to make a cumulative cash
investment of approximately $74.0 million in TV One over
approximately four years, of which the Company has funded
approximately $45.7 million as of June 30, 2006. In
December 2004, TV One entered into a distribution agreement with
DIRECTV and certain affiliates of DIRECTV
10
RADIO

NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
became investors in TV One. As of June 30, 2006, the
Company owned approximately 36% of TV One on a fully-converted
basis.
The Company has recorded its investment in TV One at cost and
has adjusted the carrying amount of the investment to recognize
the change in the Companys claim on the net assets of TV
One resulting from losses of TV One as well as other capital
transactions of TV One using a hypothetical liquidation at book
value approach. For the three and six months ended June 30,
2006, the Companys allocable share of TV Ones losses
was $453,000 and $934,000, respectively. Under the hypothetical
liquidation at book value approach, the increase in the
Companys claim on the change in net assets of TV One
resulting from TV Ones buyback of equity from certain TV
One investors, resulted in an increase of $646,000 and $970,000,
respectively, in additional paid-in capital of the Company for
the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, in accordance
with SAB No. 51, Accounting for Sales of
Stock by a Subsidiary.
The Company also entered into separate network services and
advertising services agreements with TV One in 2003. Under the
network services agreement, which expires in January 2009, the
Company is providing TV One with administrative and operational
support services. Under the advertising services agreement, the
Company is providing a specified amount of advertising to TV One
over a term of five years ending in January 2009. In
consideration for providing these services, the Company has
received equity in TV One and receives an annual fee of $500,000
in cash for providing services under the network services
agreement.
The Company is accounting for the services provided to TV One
under the advertising and network services agreements in
accordance with EITF, Issue No.
00-8,
Accounting by a Grantee for an Equity Instrument to Be
Received in Conjunction with Providing Goods or Services.
As services are provided to TV One, the Company is recording
revenue based on the fair value of the most reliable unit of
measurement in these transactions. For the advertising services
agreement, this has been determined to be the value of
underlying advertising time that is being provided to TV One.
For the network services agreement, this has been determined to
be the value of the equity received in TV One. As a result, the
Company is re-measuring the fair value of the equity received in
consideration of its obligations under the network services
agreement in each subsequent reporting period as the services
are provided. The Company recognized $391,000 and $674,000 of
revenue relating to these two agreements for the three months
ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The Company
recognized $807,000 and approximately $1.3 million of
revenue relating to these two agreements for the six months
ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
5. | DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS: |
In June 2005, pursuant to the Credit Agreement (as defined
below), the Company entered into four fixed rate swap agreements
to reduce interest rate fluctuations on certain floating rate
debt commitments. The Company accounts for the swap agreements
using the
mark-to-market
method of accounting.
The swap agreements had the following terms:
Agreement
|
Notional Amount | Expiration | Fixed Rate | |||||||||
No. 1
|
$ | 25.0 million | June 16, 2007 | 4.08 | % | |||||||
No. 2
|
25.0 million | June 16, 2008 | 4.13 | |||||||||
No. 3
|
25.0 million | June 16, 2010 | 4.27 | |||||||||
No. 4
|
25.0 million | June 16, 2012 | 4.47 |
Each swap agreement has been accounted for as a qualifying cash
flow hedge of the Companys senior bank term debt, in
accordance with SFAS No. 133, whereby changes in the
fair market value are reflected as adjustments to the fair value
of the derivative instruments as reflected on the accompanying
Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Under the swap agreements, the Company pays the fixed rate
listed in the table above, plus a spread based on its leverage
ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement). The counterparties
to the agreements pay the Company a floating interest rate based
on the three-month London Interbank Offered Rate
(LIBOR) (measurement and
11

ONE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO

STATEMENTS (Continued)
settlement is performed quarterly). The counterparties to these
agreements are international financial institutions. The Company
estimates the net fair value of these instruments as of
June 30, 2006 to be a receivable of approximately
$3.5 million. The fair value of the interest swap
agreements is estimated by obtaining quotations from the
financial institutions that are parties to the Companys
swap agreements. The fair value is an estimate of the net amount
that the Company would receive on June 30, 2006, if the
agreements were transferred to other parties or cancelled by the
Company.
Costs incurred to execute the swap agreements are deferred and
amortized over the term of the swap agreements. The amounts
incurred by the Company, representing the effective difference
between the fixed rate under the swap agreements and the
variable rate on the underlying term of the debt, are included
in interest expense in the accompanying Consolidated Statements
of Income. In the event of early termination of these swap
agreements, any gains or losses would be amortized over the
respective lives of the underlying debt or recognized currently
if the debt is terminated earlier than initially anticipated.
The Company had two swap agreements with a notional value of
$150.0 million outstanding as of June 30, 2005. Those
agreements were terminated when the Company entered into the new
bank agreement in June 2005. The Company recorded a $363,000
gain with the termination of the swap agreements in June 2005.

Subordinated Notes
In February 2005, the Company completed the private placement of
$200.0 million of
63/8% senior
subordinated notes due 2013 realizing net proceeds of
approximately $195.3 million. The Company recorded
approximately $4.7 million in deferred offering costs,
which are being amortized to interest expense over the life of
the notes using the effective interest rate method. The net
proceeds of the offering, in addition to borrowings of
$110.0 million under the Companys previous revolving
credit facility, and available cash, were used to redeem its
outstanding
61/2% Convertible
Preferred Remarketable Term Income Deferrable Equity Securities
(HIGH TIDES) in an amount of $309.8 million. In
October 2005, the
63/8% senior
subordinated notes were exchanged for an equal amount of notes
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the Securities Act).
Credit
Facilities
In June 2005, the Company entered into a new credit agreement
with a syndicate of banks (the Credit Agreement).
The agreement was amended in April 2006 to modify certain
financial covenants. The term of the Credit Agreement is seven
years and the total amount available under the Credit Agreement
is $800.0 million, consisting of a $500.0 million
revolving facility and a $300.0 million term loan facility.
Borrowings under the credit facilities are subject to compliance
with certain provisions of the Credit Agreement, including but
not limited to, financial covenants. The Company may use
proceeds from the credit facilities for working capital, capital

expenditures made in the ordinary course of business, its common
stock repurchase program, direct and indirect investments
permitted under the Credit Agreement, and other lawful corporate
purposes. The Credit Agreement contains affirmative and negative
covenants that the Company must comply with, including
(a) maintaining an interest coverage ratio of no less than
1.90 to 1.00 from January 1, 2006 to December 2007, and no
less than 2.25 to 1.00 from January 1, 2008 to
December 31, 2008, and no less than 2.50 to 1.00,
January 1, 2009 and thereafter, (b) maintaining a
total leverage ratio of no greater than 6.50 to 1.00 from
January 1, 2006 to March 31, 2006, and no
greater than 7.00 to 1.00 beginning April 1, 2006 to
December 31, 2007, and no greater than 6.00 to 1.00
beginning January 1, 2008 and thereafter,
(c) limitations on liens, (d) limitations on the sale
of assets, (e) limitations on the payment of dividends, and
(f) limitations on mergers, as well as other customary
covenants. Simultaneous with entering into the credit agreement
in June 2005, the Company borrowed $437.5 million to retire
all outstanding obligations under its previous credit agreement,
dated as of July 17, 2000.
The Credit Agreement, and the indentures governing the
Companys senior subordinated notes, contain covenants that
restrict, among other things, the ability of the Company to
incur additional debt, purchase capital stock, make capital
expenditures, make investments or other restricted payments,
swap or sell assets, engage in transactions with related
parties, secure non-senior debt with assets, or merge,
consolidate or sell all or substantially all of its assets.
The Companys borrowings under the Credit Agreement are
secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and
its subsidiaries.

7. | INCOME TAXES: |
The effective tax rate for the six-month period ended
June 30, 2006 was 45.1%. This rate is higher than the
projected annual effective tax rate due to the tax impact of
discrete items during the six months ended June 30, 2006.
These items include the current year impact of the reversal of a
state tax reserve due to expired statutes and the State of Ohio
phase-out of the corporation franchise tax and the phase-in of a
commercial activity tax (discussed below), offset by unfavorable
tax law changes in Kentucky and Texas (discussed below). As of
June 30, 2006, our annual effective tax rate is projected
at 42.9%, which reflects the permanent differences between
income for book versus tax purposes and the impact of the
adoption of SFAS No. 123(R).
As previously noted, the Company adopted
SFAS No. 123(R) as of January 1, 2006 and
incorporated the tax impact into its effective tax rate above.
This has increased the expected effective tax rate for 2006 due
to the unfavorable tax treatment of the Companys book
compensation expense for incentive stock options.
In June 2005, the State of Ohio enacted a law that will
phase-out the corporation franchise tax and phase-in a
commercial activity tax. The new commercial activity tax is
based on gross receipts, and is not considered an
13
RADIO
ONE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
income tax for SFAS No. 109, Accounting for
Income Taxes purposes. In 2005, the Company determined
the likelihood of a reversal of the certain temporary
differences related to intangible assets within the five-year
period of the phase-out was unlikely. In 2006, the remaining
Ohio deferred tax balances have been adjusted to reflect the
impact of the 2006 phase-in of the new tax law. The new tax law
resulted in a tax benefit of $133,000 for the six month period
ended June 30, 2006. Further, the Company expects a benefit
to its effective tax rate related to the current year tax
amortization of the Ohio intangibles since no deferred tax
liabilities will be created related to this amortization. It is
expected that no additional deferred tax liability will result
from the amortization of these intangibles during the remaining
portion of the five-year phase-out period.
In May 2006, the State of Texas enacted a law that will change
the current tax structure to a margin tax effective for tax
years beginning January 1, 2007. This tax is calculated by
deducting certain expenses from gross receipts to determine
taxable income and is considered an income tax for
SFAS No. 109 purposes. During the second quarter of
2006, the Company recorded a deferred tax liability for its
difference between book and tax basis in its intangible assets
as a result of the change in the law. Since, historically, the
Company paid a franchise tax to Texas, the Company did not
previously establish any deferred tax liabilities for Texas tax
law purposes.
In June 2006, the FASB issued FIN No. 48,
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes
Interpretation of SFAS No. 109, which
clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. FIN
No. 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement
attribute for the financial statement recognition and
measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a
tax return. FIN No. 48 requires that the Company recognize
the impact of a tax position in the financial statements, if
that position is more likely than not of being sustained on
audit, based on the technical merits of the position. FIN
No. 48 also provides guidance on de-recognition,
classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim
periods and disclosure. The provisions of FIN No. 48 are
effective beginning January 1, 2007, with the cumulative
effect of the change in accounting principle recorded as an
adjustment to opening retained earnings. The Company is
currently evaluating the impact of adopting FIN No. 48 on
its financial statements.
8. | STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY: |
Stock
Repurchase Program
In May 2005, the Companys board of directors authorized a
stock repurchase program for up to $150.0 million of the
Companys Class A and Class D common stock over a
period of 18 months, with the amount and timing of
repurchases to be based on stock price, general economic and
market conditions, certain restrictions contained in the Credit
Agreement, the indentures governing the Companys senior
subordinated debt, and certain other factors. The repurchase
program does not obligate the Company to repurchase any of its
common stock and may be discontinued or suspended at any time.
The Company did not repurchase any of its common stock during
the six months ended June 30, 2006.
Stock
Option and Restricted Stock Grant Plan
Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair
value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123(R) using
the modified prospective transition method and therefore has not
restated prior periods results. Under this transition
method, stock-based compensation expense during the three and
six months ended June 30, 2006 included compensation
expense for all stock-based compensation awards granted prior
to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, and was based
on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the
original provisions of SFAS No. 123. Stock-based
compensation expense for all share-based payment awards granted
after January 1, 2006 was based on the grant date fair
value estimated in accordance with the provisions of
SFAS No. 123(R). The Company recognized these
compensation costs net of a forfeiture rate of 7.5% and
recognized the compensation costs for only those shares expected
to vest on a straight-line basis over the requisite service
period of the award. In general, the Companys stock
options vest ratably over a four-year period. The Company
estimated the forfeiture

STATEMENTS (Continued)
rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 based
on its historical experience during the preceding three years.
As a result of adopting SFAS No. 123(R), the impact to
the Companys Consolidated Financial Statements for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2006 for net income
applicable to common stockholders was approximately
$1.6 million and $3.1 million, respectively, lower
than if it had continued to account for stock-based compensation
under APB No. 25. The impact on both basic and diluted
income per share for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2006 was $0.02 and $0.03 per share,
respectively.

In light of new accounting guidance under
SFAS No. 123(R), the Company reevaluated the
assumptions used in estimating the fair value of options
granted. As part of this assessment, management determined that
the historical volatility of the preceding three years is a
better indicator of expected volatility and future stock price
trends than the historical volatility reflected since the
Company conducted its initial public offering of common stock.
This determination was based on analysis of:
1. Implied volatility on publicly-traded options on Radio
One shares;
2. Implied and historical volatility of publicly-traded
common stock of peer companies;
3. Corporate and capital structure changes that may
potentially affect future volatility; and
4. Mean reversion tendencies, trends and cycles.
In connection with its adoption of SFAS No. 123(R),
the Company also examined the historical pattern of option
exercises in an effort to determine if there were any
discernible activity patterns based on certain option holder
populations. From its analysis, the Company identified four
groups. The expected lives computation is based on historical
exercise patterns and post-vesting termination behavior within
each of the four groups identified. The interest rate for
periods within the expected life of the award is based on the
United States Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of
grant.
The Company granted 30,000 and 1,292,000 stock options during
the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005,
respectively. The per share weighted-average fair values of
options granted during the three months ended June 30, 2006
and 2005 were $4.31 and $7.01, respectively, on the date of
grant. The Company granted 42,500 and 1,427,000 stock options
during the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005,
respectively. The per share weighted-average fair values of
options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2006
and 2005 were $4.66 and $7.17,

The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the
total pretax intrinsic value (the difference between the
Companys closing price on the last day of trading during
the three months ended June 30, 2006 and the exercise
price, multiplied by the number of
in-the-money
options) that would have been received by the option holders had
all the option holders exercised their options on June 30,
2006. This amount changes based on the fair market value of the
Companys stock. Total intrinsic value of options exercised
was $3,000 during the three months and six months ended
June 30, 2006. The number of options vested during the
three and six months ended June 30, 2006 was 339,206.
As of June 30, 2006, approximately $10.4 million of
total unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options is
expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of
three years. The stock option weighted-average fair value per
share was $7.89 at June 30, 2006.

9. | PROFIT SHARING AND EMPLOYEE SAVINGS PLAN: |
The Company maintains a profit sharing and employee savings plan
under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. This
plan allows eligible employees to defer allowable portions of
their compensation on a pre-tax basis through contributions to
the savings plan. The Company may contribute to the plan at the
discretion of its board of directors. Effective January 1,
2006, the Company began matching employee contributions to the
employee savings plan. Contributions paid for the three months
ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 were $350,000 and $0,
respectively. Contributions paid for the six months ended
June 30, 2006 and 2005 were $635,000 and $0, respectively.
10. | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES: |
Radio
Broadcasting Licenses
Each of the Companys radio stations operates pursuant to
one or more licenses issued by the Federal Communications
Commission that have a maximum term of eight years prior to
renewal. The Companys radio broadcasting licenses expire
at various times through August 1, 2013. Although the
Company may apply to renew its radio broadcasting licenses,
third parties may challenge the Companys renewal
applications. The Company is not aware of any facts or
circumstances that would prevent the Company from having its
current licenses renewed.
TV One
Cable Network
Pursuant to a limited liability company agreement dated
July 18, 2003, the Company and certain other investors
formed TV One for the purpose of developing and distributing a
new television programming service. The Company has committed to
make a cumulative cash investment of approximately
$74.0 million in TV One over approximately four years. As
of June 30, 2006, the Company has already funded
approximately $45.7 million under this agreement.

STATEMENTS (Continued)
Royalty
Agreements
The Company has entered into fixed fee and variable share
agreements with music performance rights organizations that
expire as late as 2009. During the three months ended
June 30, 2006 and 2005, the Company incurred expenses of
approximately $3.2 million and $2.7 million,
respectively, in connection with these agreements. During the
six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, the Company
incurred expenses of approximately $6.4 million and
$5.4 million, respectively, in connection with these
agreements.
Other
Contingencies
The Company has been named as a defendant in several legal
actions occurring in the ordinary course of business. It is
managements opinion, after consultation with its legal
counsel, that the outcome of these claims will not have a
material adverse effect on the Companys financial
position, results of operations or liquidity.
11. | CONTRACT TERMINATION: |
In September 2005, the Company terminated its national sales
representation agreements with Interep National Radio Sales,
Inc. (Interep), and entered into new agreements with
Katz Communications, Inc. (Katz), whereby Katz
became the Companys sole national sales representative.
Interep had previously acted as a national sales representative
for approximately half of the Companys national
advertising business, while Katz represented the remaining half.
Katz paid the Company $3.4 million as an inducement to
enter into the new agreements. Katz also agreed to pay Interep
approximately $5.3 million to satisfy the Companys
termination obligations stemming from the previous sales
representation agreements with Interep. Accordingly, the Company
recorded the termination obligation of approximately
$5.3 million as a one-time charge in selling, general and
administrative expense for the year ended December 31,
2005. Both the $3.4 million inducement and the
approximately $5.3 million termination amount are being
amortized over the four-year life of the new Katz agreements as
a reduction to selling, general and administrative expense. As
of June 30, 2006, approximately $4.7 million of the
deferred termination obligation and inducement amount is
reflected in other long-term liabilities on the accompanying
Consolidated Balance Sheets, and approximately $2.2 million
is reflected in other current liabilities.

Item 2. | Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
The following information should be read in conjunction with
Selected Financial Data and the Consolidated
Financial Statements and Notes thereto included elsewhere in
this report and the audited financial statements and
Managements Discussion and Analysis contained in our
Annual Report on
Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2005.
Introduction
Revenue
We primarily derive revenue from the sale of advertising time
and program sponsorships to local and national advertisers.
Advertising 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. These
rates are largely based upon a radio stations audience
share in the demographic groups targeted by advertisers, the
number of radio stations in the related market, and the supply
of and demand for radio advertising time. Advertising rates are
generally highest during morning and afternoon commuting hours.
In February 2005, we acquired 51% of the common stock of Reach
Media, Inc. (Reach Media). Reach Media primarily
derives revenue from the sale of advertising time on the
affiliate stations that broadcast the Tom Joyner Morning Show.
The affiliate radio stations provide Reach Media with
advertising inventory on their stations, which is then sold to
the marketplace through a sales representative agreement with
ABC Radio Networks. ABC Radio Networks guarantees Reach Media an
agreed upon amount of annual revenue, with the potential to earn
additional amounts if certain revenue goals are met. The
agreement with ABC Radio Networks runs through 2009. Additional
revenue is generated by Reach Media from special events,
sponsorships, its internet business and other related activities.
During the three months ended June 30, 2006, approximately
62% of our net revenue was generated from local advertising and
approximately 35% was generated from national spot advertising,
including network advertising. In comparison, during the three
months ended June 30, 2005, approximately 65% of our net
revenue was generated from local advertising and approximately
33% was generated from national spot advertising, including
network advertising. During the six months ended June 30,
2006, approximately 61% of our net revenue was generated from
local advertising and approximately 37% was generated from
national spot advertising, including network advertising. In
comparison, during the six months ended June 30, 2005,
approximately 67% of our net revenue was generated from local
advertising and approximately 30% was generated from national
spot advertising, including network advertising. The balance of
revenue was generated from tower rental income, ticket sales and
revenue related to our sponsored events, management fees and
other revenue.
In the broadcasting industry, radio stations often utilize trade
or barter agreements to reduce cash expenses by exchanging
advertising time for goods or services. In order to maximize
cash revenue from our spot inventory, we closely monitor the use
of trade and barter agreements.
Expenses
Our significant broadcast expenses are (i) employee
salaries and commissions, (ii) programming expenses,
(iii) advertising and promotion expenses, (iv) rental
of premises for office facilities and 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 reports
ratings quarterly, any changed ratings and therefore the effect
on advertising revenue, tends to lag behind the incurrence of
advertising and promotional expenditures.
28
Measurement
of Performance
We monitor the growth and operational results of our business
using net income and the following key metrics:
(a) Net broadcast revenue: The
performance of an individual radio station or group of radio
stations in a particular market is customarily measured by its
ability to generate net broadcast revenue. Net broadcast revenue
consists of gross broadcast revenue, net of local and national
agency and outside sales representative commissions consistent
with industry practice. Net broadcast revenue is recognized in
the period in which advertisements are broadcast. Net broadcast
revenue also includes advertising aired in exchange for goods
and services, which is recorded at fair value.
(b) Station operating income: Net income
before depreciation and amortization, income taxes, interest
income, interest expense, equity in loss of affiliated company,
minority interest in income of subsidiaries, other
income/expense, corporate expenses and non-cash and stock-based
compensation expenses is commonly referred to in our industry as
station operating income. Station operating income is not a
measure of financial performance under generally accepted
accounting principles. Nevertheless, we believe station
operating income is often a useful measure of a broadcasting
companys operating performance and is a significant basis
used by our management to measure the operating performance of
our stations within the various markets because station
operating income provides helpful information about our results
of operations, apart from expenses associated with our physical
plant, income taxes provision, investments, debt financings,
overhead and non-cash compensation. Station operating income is
frequently used as one of the bases for comparing businesses in
our industry, although our measure of station operating income
may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other
companies. Station operating income does not purport to
represent operating loss or cash flow from operating activities,
as those terms are defined under generally accepted accounting
principles, and should not be considered as an alternative to
those measurements as an indicator of our performance.
(c) Station operating income
margin: Station operating income margin
represents station operating income as a percentage of net
broadcast revenue. Station operating income margin is not a
measure of financial performance under generally accepted
accounting principles. Nevertheless, we believe that station
operating income margin is a useful measure of our performance
because it provides helpful information about our profitability
as a percentage of our net broadcast revenue.
(d) EBITDA: Net income before interest
income, interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and
amortization is commonly referred to in our business as EBITDA.
EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under generally
accepted accounting principles. We believe EBITDA is often a
useful measure of a companys operating performance and is
a significant basis used by our management to measure the
operating performance of our business because EBITDA excludes
charges for depreciation, amortization and interest expense
associated with our acquisitions and debt financings, and our
provision for tax expense. Accordingly, we believe that EBITDA
provides helpful information about the operating performance of
our business, apart from the expenses associated with our
physical plant and capital structure. EBITDA is frequently used
as one of the bases for comparing businesses in our industry,
although our measure of EBITDA may not be comparable to
similarly titled measures of other companies. EBITDA does not
purport to represent operating loss or cash flow from operating
activities, as those terms are defined under generally accepted
accounting principles, and should not be considered as an
alternative to those measurements as an indicator of our
performance.

During the three months ended June 30, 2006, we recognized
approximately $97.8 million in net broadcast revenue
compared to approximately $101.5 million during the same
period in 2005. These amounts are net of agency commissions and
outside sales representative commissions, which were
approximately $12.0 million during the three months ended
June 30, 2006, compared to approximately $13.0 million
during the same period in 2005. The decrease in net broadcast
revenue was due primarily to a decline in overall industry
revenue in the markets in which we operate. Declining ratings,
and/or lower
pricing led to declines in many of our markets, most notably
Los Angeles, Washington, DC, Atlanta, Dallas, Cleveland and
Cincinnati. These declines more than offset increases in net
broadcast revenue experienced in our Houston, Philadelphia,
Richmond and St. Louis markets, as well as increased net
broadcast revenue from the operating results of Reach Media.

Programming and technical expenses include expenses associated
with on-air talent and the management and maintenance of the
systems, tower facilities, and studios used in the creation,
distribution and broadcast of programming content on our radio
stations and on the Tom Joyner syndicated television variety
show. Programming and technical expenses also include expenses
associated with our research activities and music royalties.
Increased programming and technical expenses were due to higher
programming compensation and contractual agreements, additional
music royalties, the January 2006 launch of the news/talk
network and the October 2005 launch of the Tom Joyner syndicated
television variety show.

as a result of our acquisition of 51% of the common stock of
Reach Media in February 2005. The Company completed its

The decrease in the provision for income taxes was primarily due
to a decrease in pre-tax income for the three months ended
June 30, 2006, compared to the same period in 2005. In
addition to lower pre-tax income, this decrease was offset by an
increase to the provision for an adjustment to our Texas tax
liability due to a state tax law change. Our effective tax rate
as of June 30, 2006 was 49.0%. Excluding the tax impact of
adopting SFAS No. 123(R) and the Texas state tax law
change, our effective tax rate as of June 30, 2006 was
43.3%, compared to 40.2% as of June 30, 2005. This rate
increase is attributable to the lower pre-tax income and
proportionately higher permanent differences. As of
June 30, 2006, our annual effective tax rate is projected
at 42.9%, which is impacted by the permanent differences between
income subject to tax for book versus tax purposes.

During the six months ended June 30, 2006, we recognized
approximately $179.9 million in net broadcast revenue
compared to approximately $178.5 million during the same
period in 2005. These amounts are net of agency commissions and
outside sales representative commissions, which were
approximately $21.7 million during the six months ended
June 30, 2006, compared to approximately $23.1 million
during the same period in 2005. The increase in net broadcast
revenue was due primarily to our consolidation of six months of
operating results for Reach Media during the six months ended
June 30, 2006, compared to four months of operating results
for the six months ended June 30, 2005. The increase in net
broadcast revenue due to consolidating Reach Medias
results were significantly offset by a decline in overall
industry revenue in the markets in which we operate. Declining
ratings,
and/or lower
pricing led to declines in many of our markets, most notably Los
Angeles, Washington, DC, Dallas, and Atlanta. These declines
more than offset increases in net broadcast revenue experienced
in our Houston, Philadelphia, St. Louis and Richmond
markets. Excluding the operating results of Reach Media, our net
broadcast revenue decreased approximately 4.6% for the six

LIQUIDITY
AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our primary source of liquidity is cash provided by operations
and, to the extent necessary, commitments available under our
amended and restated credit facilities and other debt or equity
financing.
In June 2005, we entered into a new credit agreement with a
syndicate of banks (the Credit Agreement). The
agreement was amended in April 2006 to modify certain financial
covenants. The term of the Credit Agreement is seven years and
the total amount available under the Credit Agreement is
$800.0 million, consisting of a $500.0 million
revolving facility and a $300.0 million term loan facility.
Borrowings under the credit facilities are subject to compliance
with provisions of the Credit Agreement, including but not
limited to, financial covenants. We may use proceeds from the
credit facilities for working capital, capital expenditures made
in the ordinary course of business, our common stock repurchase
program, direct and indirect investments permitted under the
Credit Agreement, and other lawful corporate purposes. The
Credit Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants
that we must comply with, including (a) maintaining an
interest coverage ratio of no less than 1.90 to 1.00 from
January 1, 2006 to December 31, 2007, and no less than
2.25 to 1.00 from January 1, 2008 to December 31,
2008, and no less than 2.50 to 1.00, January 1, 2009 and
thereafter, (b) maintaining a total leverage
37
ratio of no greater than 6.50 to 1.00 from January 1, 2006
to March 31, 2006, and no greater than 7.00 to 1.00
beginning April 1, 2006 to December 31, 2007, and no
greater than 6.00 to 1.00 beginning January 1, 2008 and
thereafter, (c) limitations on liens, (d) limitations
on the sale of assets, (e) limitations on the payment of
dividends, and (f) limitations on mergers, as well as other
customary covenants.
As of June 30, 2006, we had approximately
$335.0 million available for borrowing. Taking into
consideration the covenants under the Credit Agreement,
approximately $75.5 million of that amount was available to
be drawn down. Both the term loan facility and the revolving
facility under the Credit Agreement bear interest, at our
option, at a rate equal to either (i) the London Interbank
Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus a spread that ranges from
0.63% to 1.50%, or (ii) the prime rate plus a spread of up
to 0.50%. The amount of the spread varies depending on our
leverage ratio. We also pay a commitment fee that varies
depending on certain financial covenants and the amount of
unused commitment, up to a maximum of 0.375% per annum on
the average balance of the revolving facility. We believe that
we are in compliance with all covenants under the amended Credit
Agreement.
Under the Credit Agreement, we are 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 the bank pays to us a variable rate equal to
three-month LIBOR. As of June 30, 2006, we had four swap
agreements in place for a total notional amount of
$100.0 million, and the periods remaining on these four
swap agreements range in duration from 12 to 72 months.
Our credit exposure under the 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 swap
agreement 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 results in a less favorable
valuation.

In February 2005, we completed the private placement of
$200.0 million of
63/8% senior
subordinated notes due 2013, realizing net proceeds of
approximately $195.3 million. We recorded approximately
$4.7 million in deferred offering costs, which are being
amortized to interest expense over the life of the related notes
using the effective interest rate method. The net proceeds of
the offering, in addition to borrowings of $110.0 million
under our previous revolving credit facility and available cash,
were primarily used to redeem our outstanding HIGH TIDES in
an amount of $309.8 million. In October 2005, the
63/8% senior
subordinated notes were
38
exchanged for an equal amount of notes registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities
Act).
Our Credit Agreement and the indentures governing our senior
subordinated notes require 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. Our Credit Agreement 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
Agreement or to otherwise raise funds in the debt market.

Net cash flows from operating activities were approximately
$28.8 million and $44.8 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Cash flows from
operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2006
declined from the prior year due primarily to a decrease in
operating income of approximately $17.4 million, coupled
with increased interest expense resulting from a change to our
capital structure. In February 2005, we modified our capital
structure by redeeming all of our outstanding HIGH TIDES in an
amount of $309.8 million. This redemption was financed with
the net proceeds of the sale of our
63/8% senior
subordinated notes, borrowings under our revolving credit
facility, and available cash. As a result we now pay interest
expense on debt, instead of dividends on our HIGH TIDES. The
additional interest expense from the change in our capital
structure is reflected in operating activities, whereas, the
dividends on our HIGH TIDES were reflected in financing
activities.
Net cash flows used in investing activities were approximately
$38.3 million and $22.9 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. During the six
months ended June 30, 2006, we acquired the assets of
WHHL-FM
(formerly WRDA-FM), a radio station located in the
St. Louis metropolitan area for approximately
$20.0 million, funded approximately $8.7 million of
our investment commitment in TV One, and made a deposit of
$2.0 million towards the acquisition of the assets of
WIFE-FM, a
radio station located in the Cincinnati metropolitan area.
During the six months ended June 30, 2005, we acquired 51%
of the common stock of Reach Media for approximately
$55.8 million in a combination of approximately
$30.4 million of cash and 1,809,648 shares of our
Class D common stock and sold short-term marketable
securities for approximately $7.0 million. Capital
expenditures were approximately $5.7 million and
$8.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006
and 2005, respectively.
Net cash flows provided from financing activities were
approximately $9.1 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2006 compared to net cash flows used in financing
activities of approximately $16.1 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2005. During the six months ended
June 30, 2006, we borrowed $12.0 million from our
credit facility to fund partially the May 2006 acquisition of
WHHL-FM
(formerly WRDA-FM) and paid approximately $2.9 million in
dividends to Reach Medias minority interest shareholders.
During the six months ended June 30, 2005, we made a
principal payment of approximately $17.5 million on our
previous term loan, realized net proceeds of approximately
$195.3 million from the private placement of
$200.0 million of our
63/8% senior
subordinated notes, borrowed approximately $135.0 million
under our previous revolving credit facility, redeemed our
outstanding HIGH TIDES in an amount of $309.8 million,
received approximately $6.0 million from our stock
subscriptions receivable and paid approximately
$7.0 million preferred dividends on our HIGH TIDES.
From time to time we consider opportunities to acquire
additional radio stations, primarily in the top
60 African-American
markets, and to make strategic investments. In May 2006, we
completed the acquisition
39
of WHHL-FM
(formerly WRDA-FM), a radio station located in the
St. Louis metropolitan area for approximately
$20.0 million in cash. In February 2006, we signed an
agreement to acquire the assets of
WIFE-FM, a
radio station located in the Cincinnati metropolitan area for
approximately $18.0 million in cash. We expect to complete
this acquisition during the second half of 2006, and we will
consolidate it with our existing Cincinnati operations. Other
than our agreement to purchase the assets of
WIFE-FM and
an agreement with an affiliate of Comcast Corporation, DIRECTV
and other investors to fund TV One (the balance of our
commitment was approximately $28.3 million at June 30,
2006), we have no definitive agreements to make acquisitions of
additional radio stations or to make strategic investments. We
anticipate that any future acquisitions or strategic investments
will be financed through funds generated from operations, cash
on hand, equity financings, permitted debt financings, debt
financings through unrestricted subsidiaries or a combination of
these sources. However, there can be no assurance that financing
from any of these sources, if available, will be available on
favorable terms.
As of June 30, 2006, we had two standby letters of credit
in total of $417,000 in connection with our annual insurance
policy renewals. To date, there has been no activity on these
standby letters of credit.
Our ability to meet our debt service obligations and reduce our
total debt, our ability to refinance the
87/8% senior
subordinated notes at or prior to their scheduled maturity date
in 2011, and our ability to refinance the
63/8% senior
subordinated notes at or prior to their scheduled maturity date
in 2013 will depend upon our future performance which, in turn,
will be subject to general economic conditions and to financial,
business and other factors, including factors beyond our
control. In the next twelve months, our principal liquidity
requirements will be for working capital, continued business
development, strategic investment opportunities and for general
corporate purposes, including capital expenditures.
We believe that, based on current levels of operations and
anticipated internal growth, for the foreseeable future, cash
flows from operations together with other available sources of
funds will be adequate to make required payments of interest on
our indebtedness, to fulfill our commitment to fund TV One,
to fund acquisitions, to fund anticipated capital expenditures
and working capital requirements and to enable us to comply with
the terms of our debt agreements. However, in order to finance
future acquisitions or investments, if any, we may require
additional financing and there can be no assurance that we will
be able to obtain such financing on terms acceptable to us.
Credit
Rating Agencies
On a continuing basis, credit rating agencies such as
Moodys Investor Services and Standard and Poors
evaluate our debt. As a result of their reviews, our credit
rating could change. We believe that any significant downgrade
in our credit rating could adversely impact our future
liquidity. The effect of a change in our credit rating may limit
or eliminate our ability to obtain debt financing, or include,
among other things, interest rate changes under any future
credit facilities, notes or other types of debt.
CRITICAL
ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Our accounting policies are described in Note 1 of the
Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on
Form 10-K.
We prepare our Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States, which require us to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
and expenses during the year. Actual results could differ from
those estimates. In Managements Discussion and Analysis
contained in our Annual Report on
Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2005, we summarized the
policies and estimates that we believe to be most critical in
understanding the judgments involved in preparing our financial
statements and the uncertainties that could affect our results
of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Excluding the
implementation of SFAS No. 123(R) in January 2006,
there have been no material changes in such policies or
estimates since we filed our Annual Report on
Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2005.
RECENT
ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) issued Financial Accounting Standards Board
Interpretation (FIN) No. 48,
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes
Interpretation of
40
SFAS No. 109, which clarifies the accounting for
uncertainty in income taxes. FIN No. 48 prescribes a
recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the
financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax
position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN
No. 48 requires that the Company recognize the impact of a
tax position in the financial statements, if that position is
more likely than not of being sustained on audit, based on the
technical merits of the position. FIN No. 48 also provides
guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and
penalties, accounting in interim periods and disclosure. The
provisions of FIN No. 48 are effective beginning
January 1, 2007, with the cumulative effect of the change
in accounting principle recorded as an adjustment to opening
retained earnings. The Company is currently evaluating the
impact of adopting FIN No. 48 on its financial statements.
SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error
Corrections, which amends Accounting Principles Board
(APB) Opinion No. 20, Accounting
Changes, and SFAS No. 3, Reporting
Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements
An Amendment of APB Opinion No. 28, was issued in
May 2005. SFAS No. 154 requires retrospective
application to financial statements of prior periods for changes
in accounting principles that are not adopted prospectively.
This statement was effective January 1, 2006, and had no
impact on the Companys 2006 financial statements as of and
for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006.

terminate our interest swap agreements before they expire, we
will be required to pay early termination fees. Our credit
exposure under these 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.

Item 3: | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk |
For quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk
affecting Radio One, see Item 7A: Quantitative and
Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk in our Annual
Report on
Form 10-K,
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005. Our exposure
related to market risk has not changed materially since
December 31, 2005.
Item 4. | Controls and Procedures |
Evaluation
of disclosure controls and procedures
We have carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and
with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer
(CEO) and CFO, of the effectiveness of the design
and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of
the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this
evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that as of
42
such date, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective
in timely alerting them to material information required to be
included in our periodic SEC reports. Disclosure controls and
procedures, as defined in
Rules 13a-15(e)
and
15d-15(e)
under the Exchange Act, 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 SECs rules and forms.
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. Our disclosure controls and procedures
are designed to provide a reasonable level of assurance of
reaching our desired disclosure controls objectives. Our
management, including our CEO and CFO, has concluded that our
disclosure controls and procedures are effective in reaching
that level of reasonable assurance.
Changes
in internal control over financial reporting
During the second quarter of 2006, there were no changes in our
internal control over financial reporting that have materially
affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our
internal control over financial reporting.
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, now captioned, In re Radio One,
Inc. Initial Public Offering Securities Litigation, Case No.
01-CV-10160.
Similar complaints were filed in the same court against hundreds
of other public companies (the Issuers) that
conducted initial public offerings of their common stock in the
late 1990s (the IPO Lawsuits). In the complaint
filed against Radio One (as amended), the plaintiffs claim 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, as amended, based
on allegations that its registration statement and prospectus
failed to disclose 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, as
amended, based on allegations that this omission constituted a
deceit on investors. The plaintiffs seek unspecified monetary
damages and other relief.
In July 2002, Radio One joined in a global motion, filed by the
Issuers, to dismiss the IPO Lawsuits. In October 2002, the court
entered an order dismissing the Companys named officers
and directors from the IPO Lawsuits without prejudice, pursuant
to an agreement tolling the statute of limitations with respect
to Radio Ones officers and directors until
September 30, 2003. In February 2003, the court issued a
decision denying the motion to dismiss the Section 11 and
Section 10(b) claims against Radio One and most of the
Issuers.
In July 2003, a Special Litigation Committee of Radio Ones
board of directors approved in principle a settlement proposal
with the plaintiffs that is anticipated to include most of the
Issuers. The proposed settlement would provide for the dismissal
with prejudice of all claims against the participating Issuers
and their officers and the assignment to plaintiffs of certain
potential claims that the Issuers may have against their
underwriters. The tentative settlement also provides that, in
the event that plaintiffs ultimately recover less than a
guaranteed sum from the underwriters, plaintiffs would be
entitled to payment by each participating Issuers insurer
of a pro rata share of any shortfall in the plaintiffs
guaranteed recovery. In September 2003, in connection with the
proposed settlement, Radio Ones named officers and
directors extended the tolling agreement so that it would not
expire prior to any settlement being finalized.
In June 2004, Radio One executed a final settlement agreement
with the plaintiffs. On February 2005, the Court issued a
decision certifying a class action for settlement purposes and
granting preliminary approval of the settlement subject to
modification of certain bar orders contemplated by the
settlement. In August 2005, the Court reaffirmed
43
class certification and preliminary approval of the modified
settlement in a comprehensive Order, and directed that Notice of
the settlement be published and mailed to class members
beginning November 2005. In February 2006, the Court dismissed
litigation filed against certain underwriters in connection with
the claims to be assigned to the plaintiffs under the
settlement. In April 2006, the Court held a Settlement Fairness
Hearing to determine whether to grant final approval of the
settlement. A decision is expected by the end of the third
quarter of 2006.
Radio One is 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. Radio One believes the resolution of such matters
will not have a material adverse effect on its business,
financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
Item 1A. | Risk Factors |
There have been no material changes to our risk factors as set
forth in our most recently filed
Form 10-K.
Item 2. | Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds |
None.
Item 3. | Defaults Upon Senior Securities |
None.
Item 4. | Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders |
On May 24, 2006, the Company held its Annual Meeting of its
holders of common stock pursuant to a Notice of Annual Meeting
of Stockholders and Proxy Statement dated April 28, 2006, a
copy of which has been previously filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission. Stockholders were asked to vote upon the
following proposals:
1) The election of Terry L. Jones and Brian W. McNeill as
Class A directors to serve until the 2007 annual meeting of
stockholders or until their successors are duly elected and
qualified.
2) The election of Catherine L. Hughes, Alfred C.
Liggins, III, D. Geoffrey Armstrong, L. Ross Love and
Ronald E. Blaylock as directors to serve until the 2007 annual
meeting of stockholders or until their successors are duly

3) The ratification of the appointment of Ernst &
Young LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm
for the Company for the year ending December 31, 2006.
