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 2006 Annual Report
on
Form 10-K.
Certain reclassifications associated with accounting for
discontinued operations have been made to prior period amounts
to conform to the current period presentation. There was no
other effect on any other previously reported statement of
income, balance sheet or cash flow amounts.
(b) | Financial Instruments |
Financial instruments as of March 31, 2007 and
December 31, 2006 consisted of cash and cash equivalents,
trade accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses,
long-term debt and subscriptions receivable. The carrying
amounts approximated fair value for each of these financial
instruments as of March 31, 2007 and December 31,
2006, except for the Companys outstanding senior
subordinated notes. The
87/8% senior
subordinated notes had a fair value of approximately
$307.5 million and $309.8 million as of March 31,
2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. The
63/8% senior
subordinated notes had a fair value of approximately
$183.5 million and $187.0 million as of March 31,
2007 and December 31, 2006, 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 $9.2 million
and $9.7 million during the three months ended
March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
(d) | Barter Transactions |
The Company provides broadcast advertising time in exchange for
programming content and certain services. The terms of the
exchanges generally permit the Company to preempt such broadcast
time in favor of advertisers who purchase time in exchange for
cash. The Company includes the value of such exchanges in both
net broadcast revenues and station operating expenses. The
valuation of barter time is based upon the fair value of the
network advertising time provided for the programming content
and services received. For the three months ended March 31,
2007 and 2006, barter transactions reflected in net broadcast
revenue were $796,000 and $59,000, respectively. Additionally,
barter transaction costs reflected in programming and technical
expenses and selling, general and administrative expenses were
$740,000 and $11,000 and $57,000 and $0, in the respective three
months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
(e) | 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 (BSM)
valuation model, which is consistent with our valuation
methodologies 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 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
classification and historical experience. Actual forfeitures may
differ substantially from our current estimates. See
Note 9 Stockholders Equity.
(f) | 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.

(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 it is more likely than not that the position
would be 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, disclosure and transition. 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 impact to the Company of adopting
FIN No. 48 on its financial statements was a $923,000
increase to accumulated deficit and a corresponding increase to
income tax reserve as of January 1, 2007.

In August 2006, the Company entered into an agreement to sell
radio station

4. | 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 impairment may have
occurred. The carrying amount of goodwill at both
December 31, 2006 and March 31, 2007 was approximately
$157.8 million.

5. | 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 $51.6 million as of March 31, 2007. As
of March 31, 2007, 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 months ended March 31, 2007
and 2006, the Companys allocable share of TV Ones
losses was $492,000 and $481,000, 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 a certain TV
One investor, resulted in a decrease of $652,000 and an increase
of $325,000 in additional paid-in capital of the Company for the
three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively,
in accordance with SAB No. 51, Accounting for
Sales of Stock by a Subsidiary.

RADIO
ONE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
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 approximately
$1.1 million and $624,000 of revenue relating to these two
agreements for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and
2006, respectively.
6. | DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS: |
In June 2005, pursuant to the Credit Agreement (as defined in
Note 7 Long-Term Debt), 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 | |||||||||

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 Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, 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. The counterparties to the agreements
pay the Company a floating interest rate based on the
three-month London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR),
for which measurement and 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 March 31, 2007 to be a receivable of
approximately $1.3 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 March 31, 2007, 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.

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 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 ratio of 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.
We were unable to meet the interest ratio covenant at
March 31, 2007 and have received a waiver from compliance
with the interest ratio covenant in the Credit Agreement until
July 13, 2007. The waiver also extended the due date for
the delivery of our consolidated financial statements for the
quarter ended March 31, 2007. We expect that with the
filing of this
Form 10-Q
we will be in compliance with the requirements for delivery of
our consolidated financial statements.
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
certain of its subsidiaries.

8. | INCOME TAXES: |
The effective tax rate for the three month period ended
March 31, 2007 was 32.5%. This rate is lower than the
projected annual effective tax rate due to the tax impact of
discrete items during the three months ended March 31,
2007. These items include the current year benefit of the
reversal of state tax reserves due to expired statutes. As of
March 31, 2007, the Companys annual effective tax
rate, exclusive of discrete items, is projected at 42.1%, which
reflects the permanent differences between income for book
versus tax purposes and the non-deductibility of certain
stock-based compensation.
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 2007 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 over a five-year period. The new
commercial activity tax is based on gross receipts, and is not
considered an income tax for SFAS No. 109,
Accounting for Income Taxes, purposes. In
2005, based on the enacted law, the Company determined that the
likelihood of a reversal of the deferred tax liabilities related
to intangible assets within the five-year period of the
phase-out was unlikely. In 2006, the remaining Ohio deferred tax
balances were adjusted to reflect the impact of the 2006
phase-in of the new tax law. As a result, 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.
We adopted the provisions of FIN No. 48 on
January 1, 2007. As a result of the implementation of
FIN No. 48, we recorded a $923,000 increase in the net
liability for unrecognized tax positions, which was recorded as
an adjustment to the opening balance of accumulated deficit on
January 1, 2007. On the adoption date, we had approximately
$4.9 million of unrecognized tax benefits, of which
approximately $3.3 million would affect our effective tax
rate if recognized. The total amount of unrecognized tax
benefits as of March 31, 2007 was approximately
$4.7 million. An estimate of the possible change prior to
March 31, 2008 is a decrease in the amount of unrecognized
tax benefits of $118,000 due to closed statutes in states where
amortization liability exists.
In accordance with our accounting policy, we recognize accrued
interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a
component of tax expense. This policy did not change as a result
of the adoption of FIN No. 48. Our consolidated
statement of income for the quarter ended March 31, 2007
and our consolidated balance sheet as of that date include
interest savings of $36,000 and accrued interest of $55,000,
respectively.
As of January 1, 2007, the Company is subject to United
States federal income tax examinations for the tax years ended
December 31, 2004 through 2006. In addition, the Company is
subject to state and local income tax examinations for the tax
years ended December 31, 2002 through 2006.

Stock
Option and Restricted Stock Grant Plan
Radio One may issue up to 10,816,198 shares of Class D
Common Stock under the Companys Stock Option and
Restricted Stock Grant Plan (Plan). At inception of
the Plan, the Companys board of directors authorized
1,408,099 shares of Class A common stock to be
issuable under this plan. As of March 31, 2007,
5,248,063 shares were available for grant. The options are
exercisable in installments determined by the compensation
committee of the Companys board of directors. The options
expire as determined by the compensation committee, but no later
than ten years from the date of the grant. The Company uses an
average life for all option awards. The Company settles stock
options upon exercise by issuing stock.
The Company uses the BSM to calculate the fair value of
stock-based awards. The BSM incorporates various assumptions
including volatility, expected life, and interest rates. The
expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the
Companys common stock over the preceding three years. The
expected life is based on historical exercise patterns and
post-vesting termination behavior within each of the four groups
identified by the Company. 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 100,000 and 12,500 stock options during the
three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
The per share weighted-average fair values of options granted
during the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 were
$3.94 and $5.49, respectively, on the date of grant. These fair
values were derived using the BSM with the following
weighted-average assumptions.

10. | 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 amounts are being
amortized over the four-year life of the new Katz agreements as
a reduction to selling, general and administrative expense. As
of March 31, 2007, approximately $3.1 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.

for the year ended December 31, 2006.
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 and programs 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 December 2006, the Company completed the acquisition of
certain net assets of Giant Magazine (Giant). Giant
primarily derives revenue from the sale of advertising in the
magazine, as well as newsstand and subscription revenue
generated by sales of the magazine.
During the three months ended March 31, 2007, approximately
62% of our net revenue was generated from local advertising and
approximately 36% was generated from national advertising,
including network advertising. In comparison, during the three
months ended March 31, 2006, approximately 61% of our net
revenue was generated from local advertising and approximately
37% 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.
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.
25
(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 and loss from discontinued operations, net
of tax 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.

$ | 82,472 | $ | 81,563 | $ | 909 | 1.1 | % |
During the three months ended March 31, 2007, we recognized
approximately $82.5 million in net broadcast revenue
compared to approximately $81.6 million during the same
period in 2006. These amounts are net of agency and outside
sales representative commissions, which were approximately
$9.2 million during the three months ended 2007, compared
to approximately $9.7 million during the same period in
2006. The increase in net broadcast revenue was due primarily to
the consolidation of the January through March 2007 operating
results of Giant, which
27
was acquired in late December 2006. While the overall radio
industry revenue in the markets we operate in declined, we did
experience increased net revenue in our Atlanta, Cincinnati and
Dallas markets. These increases were partially offset by a
significant decline in net broadcast revenue in our Los Angeles
market. We also experienced a decline in Reach Medias net
broadcast revenue for television advertising associated with the
year long Tom Joyner television series, which ended in September
2006. Excluding the operating results of Giant, our net
broadcast revenue declined .6% for the three months ended
March 31, 2007, compared to the same period in 2006.

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 our programming on our radio
stations. Programming and technical expenses also include
expenses associated with our research activities and music
royalties. The increase in programming and technical expenses
during the three months ended March 31, 2007 was due
primarily to the consolidation of the January through March 2007
operating results of Giant, which was acquired in late December
2006, and increases in on-air talent, research, music royalties,
and tower rent expenses. These increased programming and
technical expenses were partially offset by a reduction in
television production costs associated with the year-long Tom
Joyner television series, which ended in September 2006.
Excluding the January through March 2007 operating results of
Giant, programming and technical expenses increased 1.6% for the
three months ended March 31, 2007, compared to the same
period in 2006.

Selling, general and administrative expenses include expenses
associated with our sales departments, offices, facilities and
personnel (outside of our corporate headquarters), marketing
expenses, back office expenses, and the advertising traffic
(scheduling and insertion) functions. The increase in selling,
general and administrative expenses, during the three months
ended March 31, 2007, was due to the consolidation of the
January through March 2007 operating results of Giant, which was
acquired in late December 2006, increased special events and
promotional spending, and additional expenses associated with
operating
WMOJ-FM
(formerly
WIFE-FM),
which was acquired in September 2006. Excluding the January
through March 2007 operating results of Giant selling, general
and administrative expenses increased 3.7% for the three months
ended March 31, 2007, compared to the same period in 2006.

expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2007
resulted primarily from additional legal and professional fees
associated with the review of our historical stock option grant
practices. Excluding the legal and professional fees associated
with the stock option

No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, which
requires measurement of compensation cost for all stock-based
awards at fair value on date of grant and recognition of
compensation expense over the service period for awards expected
to vest. The decrease in stock-based compensation for the three
months ended March 31, 2007 was primarily due to the
completion of the vesting period for certain grants, partially
offset by expenses associated with additional restricted stock
grants.

The decrease in depreciation and amortization for the three

accelerated depreciation adjustment for leasehold improvements
during the three months ended March 31, 2006. This decrease
was partially offset by an increase in depreciation for capital
expenditures made since March 31, 2006 and an increase in
amortization for the

The increase in interest expense during the three months ended
March 31, 2007 resulted from higher market interest rates
on the variable portion of our debt, which was partially offset
by interest savings from debt pay downs made since

as of March 31, 2007.

The decrease in the provision for income taxes was due primarily
to a decrease in pre-tax income for the three months ended
March 31, 2007, compared to the same period in 2006. In
addition to lower pre-tax income, this decrease was offset by an
increase to the valuation allowance for certain state net
operating losses. For the quarter ended March 31, 2007, our
effective tax rate was 32.5%. As of March 31, 2007, our
annual effective tax rate, exclusive of the reversal of state
tax reserves due to expired statutes, is projected at 42.1%,
which is impacted by the permanent differences between income
subject to tax for book purposes versus tax purposes.

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.
We have a 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 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,
we borrowed $437.5 million under the Credit Agreement to
retire all outstanding obligations under our previous credit
agreement. We were unable to meet the interest ratio covenant at
March 31, 2007 and have received a waiver from compliance with
the interest ratio covenant in the Credit Agreement until
July 13, 2007. The waiver also extended the due date for
the delivery of our consolidated financial statements for the
quarter ended March 31, 2007. We expect that with the
filing of this
Form 10-Q
we will be in the compliance with the requirements for delivery
of our consolidated financial statements.
As of March 31, 2007, we had approximately
$362.0 million available for borrowing. Taking into
consideration the covenants under the Credit Agreement, none 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.
30
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 March 31, 2007, 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 three to 63 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, which may fluctuate significantly on a daily
basis. The valuation of each swap agreement is affected by the
change in the three-month LIBOR and the remaining term of the
agreement. Any increase in the three-month LIBOR results in a
more favorable valuation, while a decrease results in a less
favorable valuation.
The following table summarizes the interest rates in effect with
respect to our debt as of March 31, 2007:

(1) | A total of $100.0 million is subject to fixed rate swap agreements that became effective in June 2005. Under our fixed rate swap agreements, we pay a fixed rate plus a spread based on our leverage ratio, as defined in our Credit Agreement.

(2) | Subject to rolling 90-day LIBOR plus a spread currently at 1.50% and incorporated into the applicable interest rate set forth above. |
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
$3.6 million and $9.1 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Cash flows
from operating activities for the three months ended
March 31, 2007 decreased from the prior year due primarily
to a decrease in net income of approximately $1.9 million
and a decrease in overall working capital.
Net cash flows used in investing activities were approximately
$4.4 million and $4.6 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Capital
expenditures, digital tower and transmitter upgrades, and
deposits for station equipment and purchases were approximately
$3.4 million and $3.9 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Net cash flows used in financing activities were $23,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to net cash
flows provided from financing activities of $30,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 2006.
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 and divestitures. In
March 2007, we entered into an agreement to acquire the assets
of WDBZ-AM,
a radio station located in the Cincinnati metropolitan area, for
approximately $2.6 million in seller financing. We have
been operating
WDBZ-AM
pursuant to a local marketing agreement since August 2001. In
April 2007, we entered into an agreement to acquire the assets
of WPRS-FM
(formerly
WXGG-FM), a
radio station located in the Washington, DC metropolitan area,
for approximately $38.0 million in cash, and a local
marketing agreement with Bonneville International Corporation to
operate the radio station pending the completion of the
acquisition. Subject to the necessary regulatory approvals, we
expect to complete the acquisitions in the second half of 2007
and the first half of 2008, respectively. Other than our
agreement with an affiliate of Comcast Corporation, DIRECTV and
other investors to fund TV One (the balance of our
commitment was approximately $22.4 million at
March 31, 2007), 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 March 31, 2007, 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 payment 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 &
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, 2006, 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. 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, 2006.
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 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, disclosure and transition. 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 impact to the Company of adopting
FIN No. 48 on its financial statements is a $923,000
increase to accumulated deficit and a corresponding increase to
deferred income tax liability as of January 1, 2007.

Reflected in the obligations above, as of March 31, 2007,
we had four swap agreements in place for a total notional amount
of $100.0 million. The periods remaining on the swap
agreements range in duration from three to 63 months. If we
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.
RELATED
PARTY TRANSACTIONS
In March 2007, the Company signed an agreement to acquire the
assets of
WDBZ-AM, a
radio station located in the Cincinnati metropolitan area from
Blue Chip Communications, Inc. (Blue Chip) for
approximately $2.6 million in seller financing. The
financing is a 5.1% interest bearing loan payable monthly
through July 2008. Blue Chip is owned by L. Ross Love, a member
of the Companys board of directors. The transaction was
approved by a special committee of independent directors
appointed by the board of directors. Additionally, the Company
retained an independent valuation firm to provide fair value
appraisal of the station. The Company continues to operate and
consolidate the financial results of
WDBZ-AM
under a LMA for no annual fee until closing, which is expected
to take place in the second half of 2007.

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 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)

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
