Cautionary
Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This
document contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Section 21E
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking
statements do not relay historical facts, but rather reflect our current
expectations concerning future operations, results and events. All statements
other than statements of historical fact are “forward-looking statements”
including any projections of earnings, revenues or other financial items; any
statements of the plans, strategies and objectives of management for future
operations; any statements concerning proposed new services or developments; any
statements regarding future economic conditions or performance; any statements
of belief; and any statements of assumptions underlying any of the foregoing.
You can identify some of these forward-looking statements by our use of words
such as “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,”
“likely,” “may,” “estimates” and similar expressions. You can also
identify a forward-looking statement in that such statements discuss matters in
a way that anticipates operations, results or events that have not already
occurred but rather will or may occur in future periods. We cannot
guarantee that we will achieve any forward-looking plans, intentions, results,
operations or expectations. Because these statements apply to future
events, they are subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which are beyond
our control that could cause actual results to differ materially from those
forecasted or anticipated in the forward-looking statements. These
risks, uncertainties and factors include (in no particular order), but are not
limited to:
•
|
the
effects the current global financial and economic crisis, credit and
equity market volatility and the current and future states
of the U.S. economy may continue to have on our business and
financial condition and the business and financial condition of our
advertisers;
|
•
|
fluctuations
within the economy could negatively impact our ability to meet our cash
needs and our ability to maintain compliance with our debt
covenants;
|
•
|
fluctuations
in the demand for advertising across our various media given the current
economic environment;
|
•
|
risks
associated with the implementation and execution of our business
diversification strategy;
|
•
|
increased
competition in our markets and in the radio broadcasting and media
industries;
|
•
|
changes
in media audience ratings and measurement
methodologies;
|
•
|
regulation
by the Federal Communications Commission relative to maintaining our
broadcasting licenses, enacting media ownership rules and enforcing of
indecency rules;
|
•
|
changes
in our key personnel and on-air
talent;
|
•
|
increases
in the costs of our programming, including on-air talent, content
acquisition cost and royalties;
|
•
|
financial
losses that may be sustained due to impairment charges against our
broadcasting licenses, goodwill and other intangible assets, particularly
in light of the current economic
environment;
|
•
|
our
incurrence of net losses over the past three fiscal
years;
|
•
|
increased
competition from new technologies;
|
•
|
the
impact of our acquisitions, dispositions and similar
transactions;
|
•
|
our
high degree of leverage and potential inability to refinance our debt
given current market conditions;
|
•
|
our
current non-compliance with NASDAQ rules for continued listing of our
Class A and Class D common stock;
and
|
•
|
other
factors mentioned in our filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission including the factors discussed in detail in Item 1A,
“Risk Factors,” in our 2008 Annual Report on
Form 10-K/A.
|
You
should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which
reflect our view as of the date of this report. We undertake no obligation to
publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements because of new
information, future events or otherwise.

Supplemental Note: In July
2007, a seller financed loan of $2.6 million was incurred when the Company
acquired the assets of WDBZ-AM, a radio station located in the Cincinnati
metropolitan area. The balance as of June 30, 2009 and 2008 was $0 and $17,000,
respectively.
The
accompanying notes are an integral part of these consolidated financial
statements.

RADIO
ONE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. ORGANIZATION
AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
(a) Organization
Radio One, Inc. (a Delaware corporation referred to as “Radio One”) and its
subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) is one of the nation’s largest radio
broadcasting companies and the largest broadcasting company that primarily
targets African-American and urban listeners. While our primary source of
revenue is the sale of local and national advertising for broadcast on our radio
stations, we have recently diversified our revenue streams and have made
acquisitions and investments in other complementary media properties. In
April 2008, we acquired Community Connect Inc. (“CCI”), an online social
networking company that hosts the website BlackPlanet, the largest social
networking site primarily targeted at African-Americans. This acquisition
is consistent with our operating strategy of becoming a multi-media
entertainment and information content provider to African-American consumers.
Our other media acquisitions and investments include our approximate 36%
ownership interest in TV One, LLC (“TV One”), an African-American targeted cable
television network that we invested in with an affiliate of Comcast Corporation
and other investors; our 51% ownership interest in Reach Media, Inc. (“Reach
Media”), which operates the Tom Joyner Morning Show; and our acquisition of
certain assets (“Giant Magazine”) of Giant Magazine, LLC, an urban-themed
lifestyle and entertainment magazine. Through our national multi-media presence,
we provide advertisers with a unique and powerful delivery mechanism to the
African-American audience.
During the period December 2006 to May 2008, we completed the sale of
approximately $287.9 million of our non-core radio assets. While we
maintained our core radio franchise, these dispositions have allowed the Company
to more strategically allocate its resources consistent with its long-term
multi-media operating strategy. We currently own 53 broadcast stations
located in 16 urban markets in the United States.
As part of our consolidated financial statements, consistent with our financial
reporting structure and how the Company currently manages its businesses, we
have provided selected financial information on the Company’s two reportable
segments: (i) Radio Broadcasting and (ii) Internet/Publishing. (See Note 10
– Segment
Information.)
(b) Interim Financial Statements
The interim consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared
by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In management’s opinion, the interim
financial data presented herein include all adjustments (which include only
normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation. Certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial
statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and
regulations.
Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be
expected for the full year. This Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction
with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s 2008
Annual Report on Form 10-K/A.
Certain
reclassifications associated with accounting for discontinued operations have
been made to the accompanying prior period financial statements to conform to
the current period presentation. Where applicable, these financial statements
have been identified as “As Adjusted.” These reclassifications had no effect on
previously reported net income or loss, or any other previously reported
statements of operations, balance sheet or cash flow amounts. (See
Note 3 —
Discontinued Operations for further discussion.)
(c) Financial Instruments
Financial
instruments as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 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 June 30, 2009 and
December 31, 2008, except for the Company’s outstanding senior subordinated
notes. The 87/8% Senior
Subordinated Notes due July 2011 had a carrying value of $101.5 million and a
fair value of approximately $40.6 million as of June 30, 2009, and a
carrying value of $104.0 million and a fair value of approximately
$52.0 million as of December 31, 2008. The 63/8% Senior
Subordinated Notes due February 2013 had a carrying value of $200.0 million and
a fair value of approximately $64.0 million as of June 30,
2009, and a carrying value of $200.0 million and a fair value of
approximately $60.0 million as of December 31, 2008. The fair values
were determined based on the current trading values of these
instruments.
8
(d) Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue for broadcast advertising when a commercial is
broadcast and is reported, net of agency and outside sales representative
commissions, in accordance with 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 $7.4 million and $9.4 million
during the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Agency
and outside sales representative commissions were approximately $12.9 million
and $17.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008,
respectively.
CCI, which the Company acquired in April 2008, currently generates the majority
of the Company’s internet revenue, and derives such revenue principally from
advertising services, including advertising aimed at diversity recruiting.
Advertising services include the sale of banner and sponsorship
advertisements. Advertising revenue is recognized either as
impressions (the number of times advertisements appear in viewed pages) are
delivered, when “click through” purchases or leads are reported, or ratably over
the contract period, where applicable. CCI has a diversity recruiting agreement
with Monster, Inc. (“Monster”). Under the agreement, Monster posts
job listings and advertising on CCI’s websites and CCI earns revenue for
displaying the images on its websites. This agreement ends December
2009.
Publishing revenue generated by Giant Magazine, mainly advertising, subscription
and newsstand sales, is recognized when the issue is available for
sale.
(e) Barter
Transactions
The Company provides broadcast advertising time in exchange for programming
content and certain services. In accordance with guidance provided by the
Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) No. 99-17, “Accounting for Advertising Barter
Transactions,” the terms of these 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
broadcasting net revenue 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 June
30, 2009 and 2008, barter transaction revenues reflected in net revenue were
$819,000 and $603,000, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2009 and
2008, barter transaction revenues reflected in net revenue were approximately
$1.6 million and $1.2 million, respectively. Additionally, barter transaction
costs were reflected in programming and technical expenses and selling, general
and administrative expenses of $778,000 and $558,000 and $41,000 and $41,000 for
the three month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008. For the six
month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, barter transaction costs were
reflected in programming and technical expenses and selling, general and
administrative expenses of approximately $1.5 million and $1.1 million and
$83,000 and $83,000, respectively,
(f) Comprehensive Loss
The Company’s comprehensive loss consists of net loss attributable to common
stockholders 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 Company’s other comprehensive income (loss)
consists of income (losses) on derivative instruments that qualify for cash flow
hedge treatment. (See Note 6 -
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.)
The following table sets forth the components of comprehensive
loss:

(g) Goodwill
and Radio Broadcasting Licenses
In
connection with past acquisitions, a significant amount of the purchase price
was allocated to radio broadcasting licenses, goodwill and other intangible
assets. Goodwill consists of the excess of the purchase price over the fair
value of tangible and identifiable intangible net assets acquired. In accordance
with SFAS No. 142,
“Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” goodwill and radio broadcasting
licenses are not amortized, but are tested annually for impairment at the
reporting unit level and unit of accounting level, respectively. We test for
impairment annually, on October 1 of each year, or more frequently when events
or changes in circumstances or other conditions suggest impairment may have
occurred. Impairment exists when the asset carrying values exceed their
respective fair values, and the excess is then recorded to operations as an
impairment charge. With the assistance of a third party valuation firm, we test
for license impairment at the unit of accounting level using the income
approach, which involves, but is not limited to judgmental assumptions about
projected revenue growth, future operating margins discount rates and terminal
values. In testing for goodwill impairment, we follow a two-step approach, also
using the income approach that first estimates the fair value of the reporting
unit. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, we
then determine the implied goodwill after allocating the reporting unit’s
fair value of assets and liabilities. Any excess of carrying value over its
respective implied goodwill is written off in order to reduce the reporting
unit’s carrying value to fair value. We then perform a reasonableness test by
comparing the average implied multiple arrived at based on our cash flow
projections and estimated fair values to multiples for actual recently completed
sale transactions.
Since our
annual impairment testing performed for assets owned as of October 1,
2008, the continuing economic downturn caused further deterioration
to the 2009 outlook for the radio industry, and resulted
in significant revenue and profitability declines beyond levels
assumed in our 2008 annual and year end impairment testing. Hence, during the
first quarter of 2009, we performed an interim impairment assessment, the result
of which was to record approximately $49.0 million in impairment charges against
radio broadcasting licenses in 11 of our 16 markets. Since our interim first
quarter 2009 assessment, no new or additional impairment indicators have
emerged, hence, no interim impairment testing was warranted. There was no
impairment charge recorded for the three and six month periods ended June 30,
2008, respectively. (See Note 4 — Goodwill, Radio Broadcasting
Licenses and Other Intangible Assets.)
(h) Fair
Value Measurements
|
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,”
which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and
expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The standard responds to
investors’ requests for more information about: (1) the extent to which
companies measure assets and liabilities at fair value; (2) the information
to measure fair value; and (3) the effect that fair value measurements have
on earnings. SFAS No. 157 is applied whenever another standard requires (or
permits) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. The standard does
not expand the use of fair value to any new circumstances. Effective
January 1, 2008, we adopted SFAS No. 157 for all financial instruments and
non-financial instruments accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis.
Effective January 1, 2009, we adopted SFAS No. 157 for all non-financial
instruments accounted for at fair value on a non-recurring basis. SFAS No. 157
establishes a new framework for measuring fair value and expands related
disclosures.
The fair value framework requires the categorization of assets and liabilities
into three levels based upon the assumptions (inputs) used to price the assets
or liabilities. Level 1 provides the most reliable measure of fair value,
whereas Level 3 generally requires significant management judgment. The three
levels are defined as follows:
Level 1: Inputs are
unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and
liabilities that can be accessed at measurement
date.
|
Level 2: Observable
inputs other than those included in Level 1. For example, quoted prices
for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices
for identical assets or liabilities in inactive
markets.
|
|
Level 3: Unobservable
inputs reflecting management’s own assumptions about the inputs used in
pricing the asset or liability.
|
10
As of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the fair values of our financial
liabilities are categorized as follows:

Pursuant to an employment agreement (the “Employment Agreement”) executed
in April 2008, the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) will be eligible to
receive an award amount equal to 8% of any proceeds from distributions or
other liquidity events in excess of the return of the Company’s aggregate
investment in TV One. The Company reviewed the factors underlying this
award during the quarter ended June 30, 2009 and at December 31, 2008. The
Company’s obligation to pay the award will be triggered only after the
Company’s recovery of the aggregate amount of its capital contribution in
TV One and only upon actual receipt of distributions of cash or marketable
securities or proceeds from a liquidity event with respect to the
Company’s membership interest in TV One. The CEO was fully vested in the
award upon execution of the Employment Agreement, and the award lapses
upon expiration of the Employment Agreement in April 2011, or earlier if
the CEO voluntarily leaves the Company or is terminated for cause. The
Company engaged a third party valuation firm to perform a fair valuation
of the award. (See Note 6 – Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities.)

Certain assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a non-recurring
basis. These assets are not measured at fair value on an ongoing
basis but are subject to fair value adjustments only in certain
circumstances. Included in this category are goodwill, radio
broadcasting licenses and other intangible assets, net, that are written down to
fair value when they are determined to be impaired.

As of December 31, 2008, the total recorded carrying value of goodwill and radio
broadcasting licenses was approximately $137.1 million and $763.7 million,
respectively. Pursuant to SFAS No. 142, and in connection with its interim
impairment testing performed for asset values as of February 28, 2009, carrying
values for radio broadcasting licenses in 11 of the Company’s 16 markets were
written down to fair values, resulting in a total license carrying value of
approximately $714.8 million as of June 30, 2009. The license write-downs
resulted in an impairment charge of approximately $49.0 million, which was
recorded against earnings, for the quarter ended March 31, 2009. Since our first
quarter 2009 assessment, no new or additional impairment indicators emerged,
hence, no further interim impairment testing was warranted. The interim testing
resulted in no impairment to goodwill. A description of the Level 3 inputs and
the information used to develop the inputs is discussed in Note 4 — Goodwill, Radio Broadcasting
Licenses and Other Intangible Assets.
As of December 31, 2008, the total recorded carrying value of other intangible
assets excluding goodwill and radio broadcasting licenses was approximately
$44.2 million. Pursuant to SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” no impairment indicators existed during
the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009, and therefore, no
impairment assessment was warranted. Considering applicable amortization and
interest expense of approximately $2.6 million for the second quarter of 2009
and $2.7 million for the first quarter of 2009, the carrying value of other
intangible assets excluding goodwill and radio broadcasting licenses was
approximately $38.9 million as of June 30, 2009.
(i) Impact
of Recently Issued Accounting
Pronouncements
|
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards
CodificationTM and the Hierarchy of Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles: a replacement of FASB Statement
No. 162,” which became the source of authoritative non-SEC U.S. GAAP
for non-governmental entities. SFAS No. 168 is effective for financial
statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15,
2009. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 168 will have a
material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In
May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events.” SFAS No.
165 addresses accounting and disclosure requirements related to subsequent
events. It requires management to evaluate subsequent events through the date
the financial statements are either issued or available to be issued. Companies
are required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been
evaluated. SFAS No. 165 is effective for interim or annual financial periods
ending after June 15, 2009 and should be applied prospectively. Effective for
the quarter ended June 30, 2009, the Company adopted SFAS No. 165. The Company
has provided the required disclosures regarding subsequent events in
Note 14 – Subsequent
Events.
In
April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) No. SFAS 107-1
and Accounting Pronouncement Bulletin (“APB”) No. 28-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value
of Financial Instruments,” which amends SFAS No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of
Financial Instruments,” to require disclosures about fair value of
financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly traded
companies, as well as in annual financial statements. This FSP also amends
APB Opinion No. 28, “Interim Financial
Reporting,” to
require those disclosures in summarized financial information at interim
reporting periods. FSP No. SFAS 107-1 and APB No. 28-1 became
effective for the Company during the quarter ended June 30, 2009. The
additional disclosures required by FSP No. SFAS 107-1 and APB No. 28-1 are
included in Note 1 – Organization and Summary of
Significant Accounting Policies.
In
April 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. SFAS 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of
Intangible Assets,” which amends the guidance in SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets,” about estimating the useful lives of recognized intangible
assets, and requires additional disclosures related to renewing or extending the
terms of recognized intangible assets. FSP No. SFAS 142-3 became
effective as of January 1, 2009. The adoption of FSP
No. SFAS 142-3 did not have a material effect on the Company’s
consolidated financial statements.
In November 2008, the FASB issued EITF Issue No. 08-6, “Equity Method Investment Accounting
Considerations.” EITF 08-6 discusses the accounting for contingent
consideration agreements of an equity method investment and the requirement for
the investor to recognize its share of any impairment charges recorded by the
investee. EITF 08-6 requires the investor to record share issuances by the
investee as if it has sold a portion of its investment with any resulting gain
or loss being reflected in earnings. EITF 08-6 was effective for the Company on
January 1, 2009. The adoption of EITF 08-6 did not have any impact on the
Company’s consolidated financial statements.
12
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities – an amendment of FASB Statement No.
133.” SFAS No. 161 requires disclosure of the fair value of
derivative instruments and their gains and losses in a tabular
format. It also provides for more information about an entity’s
liquidity by requiring disclosure of derivative features that are credit risk
related. Finally, it requires cross referencing within footnotes to
enable financial statement users to locate important information about
derivative instruments. Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted SFAS
No. 161. The Company’s adoption of SFAS No. 161 had no impact on its
financial condition or results of operations. (See Note 6 – Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities.)
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R, “Business
Combinations.” SFAS No. 141R replaces SFAS No. 141, and requires the
acquirer of a business to recognize and measure the identifiable assets
acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the
acquiree at fair value. SFAS No. 141R also requires transaction costs
related to the business combination to be expensed as incurred. In April
2009, the FASB issued FSP No. SFAS 141R-1, “Accounting for Assets Acquired and
Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from
Contingencies.” FSP No. 141R-1 amends and clarifies SFAS No. 141R to
address application issues associated with initial recognition and measurement,
subsequent measurement and accounting, and disclosure of assets and liabilities
arising from contingencies in a business combination. Both SFAS No. 141R and FSP
No. SFAS 141R-1 is effective for business combinations for which the acquisition
date is on or after the January 1, 2009. Effective January 1, 2009, the Company
adopted SFAS No. 141R and FSP No. SFAS 141R-1. The Company’s adoption
of SFAS No. 141R and FSP No. SFAS 141R-1 has had no effect on the Company’s
consolidated financial statements. The Company expects SFAS No. 141R and FSP No.
SFAS 141R-1 to have an impact on its accounting for future business
combinations, but the effect is dependent upon the acquisitions that are made in
the future.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements - an amendment of ARB No. 51.” This
statement amends ARB No. 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for
the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a
subsidiary. It clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a
subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be
reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. This
statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2008. Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted SFAS
No. 160. SFAS No. 160 changed the accounting and reporting
for minority interests, which is now characterized as noncontrolling interests
and classified as a component of equity. SFAS No. 160 required retroactive
adoption of the presentation and disclosure requirements for existing minority
interests, with all other requirements applied prospectively. Reflected in the
December 31, 2008 Form 10-K/A, minority interests characterized as
liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet was approximately $2.0 million.
This amount has been recharacterized as noncontrolling interests and classified
as a component of stockholders’ equity.
In December 2007, the SEC issued SAB No. 110 that modified SAB
No. 107 regarding the use of a “simplified” method in developing an
estimate of expected term of “plain vanilla” share options in accordance with
SFAS No. 123R,
“Share-Based Payment.” Under SAB No. 107, the use of the
“simplified” method was not allowed beyond December 31, 2007. SAB
No. 110 allows, however, the use of the “simplified” method beyond
December 31, 2007 under certain circumstances. We currently use the
“simplified” method under SAB No. 107, and we expect to continue to use the
“simplified” method in future periods if the facts and circumstances
permit.
In
February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial
Assets and Financial Liabilities,” which permits companies to
choose to measure certain financial instruments and other items at fair value
that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. SFAS No. 159
is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Effective
January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 159, which provides
entities the option to measure many financial instruments and certain other
items at fair value. Entities that choose the fair value option will recognize
unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option was elected
in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The Company has currently chosen
not to elect the fair value option for any items that are not already required
to be measured at fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, which provides
guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. The standard
also responds to investors’ requests for more information about: (1) the extent
to which companies measure assets and liabilities at fair value; (2) the
information used to measure fair value; and (3) the effect that fair value
measurements have on earnings. SFAS No. 157 will apply whenever another
standard requires (or permits) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair
value. The standard does not expand the use of fair value to any new
circumstances. The Company adopted SFAS No. 157 effective January 1, 2008.
In February 2008, the FASB issued FSP on Statement 157, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157,”
("FSP No. SFAS 157-2"). FSP No. SFAS 157-2 delayed the
effective date of SFAS No. 157 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial
liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed on a recurring basis,
to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. Effective January
1, 2009, the Company adopted FSP No. SFAS 157-2. The adoption of FSP No. SFAS
157-2 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial
statements.

(j) Liquidity
The
Company continually projects its anticipated cash needs, which include (but is
not limited to) its operating needs, capital requirements, the TV One funding
commitment and principal and interest payments on its indebtedness. Management’s
most recent operating income and cash flow projections considered the current
economic crisis, which has reduced advertising demand in general, as well as the
limited credit environment. As of the filing of this Form 10-Q, management
believes the Company can meet its liquidity needs through June 30, 2010 with
cash and cash equivalents on hand, projected cash flows from operations and, to
the extent necessary, through additional borrowing available under the
Credit Agreement, which was approximately $8.0 million at June 30, 2009. Based
on these projections, management also believes the Company will be in compliance
with its debt covenants through June 30, 2010. However, a continued worsening
economy, or other unforeseen circumstances, may negatively impact the Company’s
operations beyond those assumed in its projections. Management considered the
risks that the current economic conditions may have on its liquidity
projections, as well as the Company’s ability to meet its debt covenant
requirements. If economic conditions deteriorate unexpectedly to an extent that
we could not meet our liquidity needs or it appears that noncompliance with debt
covenants is likely to result, the Company would implement several remedial
measures, which could include further operating cost and capital expenditure
reductions, and further de-leveraging actions, which may include repurchases of
discounted senior subordinated notes and other debt repayments, subject to our
available liquidity to make such repurchases. If these measures are not
successful in maintaining compliance with our debt covenants, the Company would
attempt to negotiate for relief through an amendment with its lenders or waivers
of covenant noncompliance, which could result in higher interest costs,
additional fees and reduced borrowing limits. There is no assurance that the
Company would be successful in obtaining relief from its debt covenant
requirements in these circumstances. Failure to comply with its debt covenants
and a corresponding failure to negotiate a favorable amendment or waivers with
the Company’s lenders could result in the acceleration of the maturity of all
the Company’s outstanding debt, which would have a material adverse effect on
the Company’s business and financial position.
2. ACQUISITIONS:
In June
2008, the Company purchased the assets of WPRS-FM, a radio station located in
the Washington, DC metropolitan area for $38.0 million in
cash. Since April 2007 and until closing, the station had been
operated under a local marketing agreement (“LMA”), and the results of its
operations had been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements
since the inception of the LMA. The station was consolidated with the
Company’s existing Washington, DC operations in April 2007. The Company’s
final purchase price allocation consisted of approximately $33.9 million to
radio broadcasting license, approximately $1.3 million to definitive-lived
intangibles (acquired favorable income leases), $965,000 to goodwill and
approximately $1.8 million to fixed assets on the Company’s consolidated balance
sheet as of June 30, 2009.
In April
2008, the Company acquired CCI for $38.0 million in cash. CCI is an online
social networking company operating branded websites including BlackPlanet,
MiGente, and AsianAvenue. The Company’s final purchase price allocation
consists of approximately $10.2 million to current assets, $4.6 million to
fixed assets, $21.4 million to goodwill, $9.9 million to
definite-lived intangibles (brand names, advertiser relationships and lists,
favorable subleases, trademarks, trade names, etc.), and $6.0 million to
current liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of June
30, 2009.
In July
2007, the Company purchased the assets of WDBZ-AM, a radio station located in
the Cincinnati metropolitan area for approximately $2.6 million. The sales
price was financed by a loan from the seller, which was paid in full in July
2008. Since August 2001 and up until closing, the station had been operated
under a LMA, and the results of its operations had been included in the
Company’s consolidated financial statements since the LMA. The station was
consolidated with the Company’s existing Cincinnati operations in 2001. In
accordance with SFAS No. 142, during the first quarter 2009, we impaired radio
broadcasting licenses in the Cincinnati market (which consists of a total of
three stations) by approximately $3.3 million. (See Note 4 — Goodwill, Radio Broadcasting
Licenses and Other Intangible Assets.)
3. DISCONTINUED
OPERATIONS:
Between
December 2006 and May 2008, the Company sold the assets of 20 radio stations in
seven markets for approximately $287.9 million in cash. The remaining assets and
liabilities of these stations have been classified as discontinued operations as
of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, and the stations’ results of operations
for the three month and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 have been
classified as discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated financial
statements. For the period beginning December 1, 2006 and ending December 31,
2008, the Company used approximately $262.0 million of the proceeds from
these asset sales to pay down debt.
Los Angeles Station: In May
2008, the Company sold the assets of its radio station KRBV-FM, located in the
Los Angeles metropolitan area, to Bonneville International Corporation
(“Bonneville”) for approximately $137.5 million in cash. Bonneville began
operating the station under an LMA on April 8, 2008.
14
Miami Station: In April
2008, the Company sold the assets of its radio station WMCU-AM, located in the
Miami metropolitan area, to Salem Communications Holding Corporation (“Salem”)
for approximately $12.3 million in cash. Salem began operating the station
under an LMA effective October 18, 2007.
Augusta Stations: In
December 2007, the Company sold the assets of its five radio stations in the
Augusta metropolitan area to Perry Broadcasting Company for approximately
$3.1 million in cash.

September 2007, the Company sold the assets of its five radio stations in
the Dayton metropolitan area and five of its six radio stations in the
Louisville metropolitan area to Main Line Broadcasting, LLC for approximately
$76.0 million in cash.
Minneapolis Station: In
August 2007, the Company sold the assets of its radio station KTTB-FM in the
Minneapolis metropolitan area to Northern Lights Broadcasting, LLC for
approximately $28.0 million in cash.
Boston Station: In
December 2006, the Company sold the assets of its radio station WILD-FM in the
Boston metropolitan area to Entercom Boston, LLC (“Entercom”) for approximately
$30.0 million in cash. Entercom began operating the station under an LMA
effective August 18, 2006.

4. GOODWILL,
RADIO BROADCASTING LICENSES AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS:
In the
past, we have made acquisitions whereby a significant amount of the purchase
price was allocated to radio broadcasting licenses, goodwill and other
intangible assets. Effective January 1, 2002, in accordance with SFAS No. 142,
we do not amortize our radio broadcasting licenses and goodwill. Instead, we
perform a test for impairment annually, or when events or changes in
circumstances or other conditions suggest an impairment may have occurred. Other
intangible assets continue to be amortized on a straight-line basis over their
useful lives. We perform our annual impairment test as of October 1 of each
year.
Since our
annual impairment testing performed as of October 1, 2008, the prolonged
economic downturn has caused further deterioration to the 2009 outlook for the
radio industry, and has resulted in further significant revenue and
profitability declines. As a result, during the three months ended March 31,
2009, we made considerable reductions to our internal projections. Given the
adverse impact on terminal values, we deemed the worsening radio outlook and the
lowering of our internal projections as triggering events that warranted interim
impairment testing during the first quarter of 2009, which we performed as of
February 28, 2009. The outcome of our interim testing was to record impairment
charges against radio broadcasting licenses in 11 of our 16 markets, for
approximately $49.0 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2009. Since
our first quarter 2009 assessment, no new or additional impairment indicators
emerged, and therefore, no interim impairment testing was warranted. There was
no impairment charge recorded for the three and six month periods ended June 30,
2008.
We
utilize the services of a third party valuation firm when evaluating our radio
broadcasting licenses for impairment, and the testing is done at the unit of
accounting level as determined by EITF 02-7, “Unit of Accounting for Testing
Impairment of Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets,” using the income
approach method. The income approach method involves a 10-year model that
incorporates several variables, including, but not limited to, discounted cash
flows of a typical market participant, market revenue and long-term growth
projections, estimated market share for the typical participant and estimated
profit margins based on market size and station type. The model also assumes
outlays for capital expenditures, future terminal values, an effective tax rate
assumption and a discount rate based on the weighted-average cost of capital of
the radio broadcast industry.
The
impairment testing of goodwill is performed at the reporting unit level, and is
also done with the assistance of a third party valuation firm. We had 21
reporting units as of our interim and annual goodwill impairment assessment
dates. In testing for the impairment of goodwill, we also use the income
approach method. The approach involves a 10-year model with similar variables as
described above, except that the discounted cash flows are generally based on
the Company’s actual and projected market share and performance for its markets.
We follow a two-step process to evaluate if a potential impairment exists for
goodwill. The first step of the process involves estimating the fair value of
each reporting unit. If the reporting unit’s fair value is less than its
carrying value, a second step is performed to allocate the fair value of the
reporting unit to the individual assets and liabilities of the reporting unit in
order to determine the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill as of
the impairment assessment date. Any excess of the carrying value of the goodwill
over the implied fair value of the goodwill is written off to reduce the
reporting unit’s carrying value to its estimated fair value.
Below are
key assumptions used in the income approach model for estimating asset fair
values for the annual impairment testing performed October 1, 2008 and
subsequent interim impairment testing performed February 28, 2009.

In
arriving at the estimated fair values for radio broadcasting licenses and
goodwill, we also performed a reasonableness test on the fair value results by
calculating our implied multiple based on our cash flow projections and our
estimated fair values, and by reviewing our estimated fair values in comparison
to the market capitalization of the Company.

5. INVESTMENT
IN AFFILIATED COMPANY:
In
January 2004, the Company, together with an affiliate of Comcast Corporation and
other investors, launched TV One, an entity formed to operate a cable television
network featuring lifestyle, entertainment and news-related programming targeted
primarily towards African-American viewers. At that time, we committed to make a
cumulative cash investment of $74.0 million in TV One, of which
$60.3 million had been funded as of June 30, 2009. The initial four year
commitment period for funding the capital was extended to October 1, 2009, due
in part to TV One’s lower than anticipated capital needs during the initial
commitment period. In December 2004, TV One entered into a distribution
agreement with DIRECTV and certain affiliates of DIRECTV became investors in TV
One. As of June 30, 2009, the Company owned approximately 36% of TV One on a
fully-converted basis.
The
Company has recorded its investment at cost and has adjusted the carrying amount
of the investment to recognize the change in the Company’s claim on the net
assets of TV One resulting from operating 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 June 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company’s
allocable share of TV One’s net income was $747,000 and $29,000, respectively.
For the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company’s allocable share
of TV One’s net income (losses) was approximately $1.9 million and $(2.8)
million, respectively.
We
entered into separate network services and advertising services agreements with
TV One in 2003. Under the network services agreement, we are providing TV One
with administrative and operational support services and access to Radio One
personalities. This agreement was originally scheduled to expire in January
2009, and has now been extended to January 2010. Under the advertising services
agreement, we are providing a specified amount of advertising to TV One. This
agreement was also originally scheduled to expire in January 2009 and has now
been extended to January 2011. In consideration of providing these services, we
have received equity in TV One, and receive an annual cash fee of $500,000 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, the
most reliable unit of measurement has been determined to be the value of
underlying advertising time that is being provided to TV One. For the network
services agreement, the most reliable unit of measurement 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 $337,000 and
$847,000, in revenue relating to these two agreements for the three months ended
June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The Company recognized $956,000 and
approximately $2.0 million in revenue relating to these two agreements for the
six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Hedging Activities
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. Two of the
four $25.0 million swap agreements expired in June 2007 and 2008, respectively.
The Company accounts for the remaining swap agreements using the fair
value method of accounting.
The remaining swap agreements have the following terms:

Each swap
agreement has been accounted for as a qualifying cash flow hedge of the
Company’s senior bank 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 financial
statements.
20
The Company’s objectives in using interest rate swaps are to manage interest
rate risk associated with the Company’s floating rate debt commitments and to
add stability to future cash flows. To accomplish this objective, the Company
uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management
strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve
the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the
Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without
exchange of the underlying notional amount.
The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated
and qualifying as cash flow hedges is recorded in Accumulated Other
Comprehensive Loss and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period
that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. During 2009, such
derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with existing
floating rate debt commitments. The ineffective portion of the change
in fair value of the derivatives, if any, is recognized directly in earnings.
There was no hedging ineffectiveness during the three months and six months
ended June 30, 2009 and 2008.
Amounts reported in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss related to derivatives
will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the
Company’s floating rate debt. During the next 12 months, the Company estimates
that an additional amount of approximately $1.3 million will be
reclassified as an increase to interest expense.
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 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 June 30, 2009 to be a liability of approximately $2.5 million.
The fair value of the interest rate swap agreements is estimated by obtaining
quotations from the financial institutions, which are parties to the Company’s
swap agreements.
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
operations. 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.
Other Derivative Instruments
The Company recognizes all derivatives at fair value, whether designated in
hedging relationships or not, in the balance sheet as either an asset or
liability. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative,
including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, depends on
the intended use of the derivative and the resulting designation. If the
derivative is designated as a fair value hedge, the changes in the fair value of
the derivative and the hedged item are recognized in the statement of
operations. If the derivative is designated as a cash flow hedge, changes in the
fair value of the derivative are recorded in other comprehensive income and are
recognized in the statement of operations when the hedged item affects net
income. If a derivative does not qualify as a hedge, it is marked to fair value
through the statement of operations. Any fees associated with these
derivatives are amortized over their term.
As of June 30, 2009, the Company was party to an Employment Agreement executed
in April 2008 with the CEO which calls for an award that has been accounted for
as a derivative instrument without a hedging relationship in accordance with the
guidance provided in SFAS No. 133. Pursuant to the Employment Agreement, the CEO
is eligible to receive an award amount equal to 8% of any proceeds from
distributions or other liquidity events in excess of the return of the Company’s
aggregate investment in TV One. The Company reassessed the estimated fair value
of the award at June 30, 2009 to be approximately $4.2 million, and
accordingly, adjusted its liability to this amount. The Company’s
obligation to pay the award will be triggered only after the Company’s recovery
of the aggregate amount of its capital contribution in TV One and only upon
actual receipt of distributions of cash or marketable securities or proceeds
from a liquidity event with respect to the Company’s membership interest in TV
One. The CEO was fully vested in the award upon execution of the Employment
Agreement, and the award lapses upon expiration of the Employment Agreement in
April 2011, or earlier if the CEO voluntarily leaves the Company, or is
terminated for cause.

Credit Facilities
In June 2005, the Company entered into a credit agreement with a
syndicate of banks (the “Credit Agreement”). Simultaneous with entering into the
Credit Agreement, the Company borrowed $437.5 million to retire all outstanding
obligations under its previous credit agreement. The Credit Agreement was
amended in April 2006 and September 2007 to modify certain financial covenants
and other provisions. The Credit Agreement expires the earlier of (a) six months
prior to the scheduled maturity date of the 87/8% Senior
Subordinated Notes due July 1, 2011 (unless the 87/8% Senior
Subordinated Notes have been repurchased or refinanced prior to such date) or
(b) June 30, 2012. 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 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, permitted direct and indirect investments 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
September 13, 2007, and no less than 1.60 to 1.00 from September 14, 2007 to
June 30, 2008, and no less than 1.75 to 1.00 from July 1, 2008 to December 31,
2009, and no less than 2.00 to 1.00 from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2010,
and no less than 2.25 to 1.00 from January 1, 2011 and thereafter, (b)
maintaining a total leverage ratio of no greater than 7.00 to 1.00 beginning
April 1, 2006 to September 13, 2007, and no greater than 7.75 to 1.00 beginning
September 14, 2007 to March 31, 2008, and no greater than 7.50 to 1.00 beginning
April 1, 2008 to September 30, 2008, and no greater than 7.25 to 1.00 beginning
October 1, 2008 to June 30, 2010, and no greater than 6.50 to 1.00 beginning
July 1, 2010 to September 30, 2011, and no greater than 6.00 to 1.00 beginning
October 1, 2011 and thereafter, (c) maintaining a senior leverage ratio of no
greater than 5.00 to 1.00 beginning June 13, 2005 to September 30, 2006, and no
greater than 4.50 to 1.00 beginning October 1, 2006 to September 30, 2007, and
no greater than 4.00 to 1.00 beginning October 1, 2007 and thereafter, (d)
limitations on liens, (e) limitations on the sale of assets, (f) limitations on
the payment of dividends, and (g) limitations on mergers, as well as other
customary covenants. The Company was in compliance with all debt covenants as of
June 30, 2009. At the date of the filing of this Form 10-Q and based on its most
recent projections, the Company's management believes it will be in compliance
with all debt covenants through June 30, 2010. Based on its fiscal year end 2007
excess cash flow calculation, the Company made a debt principal prepayment of
approximately $6.0 million in May 2008. For the year ended December 31, 2008 no
excess cash calculation was required and therefore, no payment was required. In
March 2009 and May 2009, the Company made prepayments of $70.0 million and $31.5
million, respectively, on the term loan facility based on its excess proceeds
calculation which included asset acquisition and disposition activity for the
twelve month period ended May 31, 2009. These prepayments were funded
with $70.0 million and $31.5 million in loan proceeds from the revolving
facility in March 2009 and May 2009, respectively.
As of June 30, 2009, the Company had approximately $182.0 million of borrowing
capacity. Taking into consideration the financial covenants under the Credit
Agreement, approximately $8.0 million of that amount is available for
borrowing.
22
Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, upon any breach or default under either
the 87/8% Senior
Subordinated Notes or the 63/8% Senior
Subordinated Notes, the lenders could among other actions immediately terminate
the Credit Agreement and declare the loans then outstanding under the Credit
Agreement to be due and payable in whole immediately. Similarly,
under the 87/8% Senior
Subordinated Notes and the 63/8% Senior
Subordinated Notes, a default under the terms of the Credit Agreement would
constitute an event of default, and the trustees or the holders of at least 25%
in principal amount of the then outstanding notes (under either class) may
declare the principal of such class of note and interest to be due and payable
immediately.
Interest payments under the terms of the Credit Agreement are due based on the
type of loan selected. Interest on alternate base rate loans as defined under
the terms of the Credit Agreement is payable on the last day of each March,
June, September and December. Interest due on the LIBOR loans is payable on the
last day of the interest period applicable for borrowings up to three months in
duration, and on the last day of each March, June, September and December for
borrowings greater than three months in duration. In addition, quarterly
installments of principal on the term loan facility are payable on the last day
of each March, June, September and December commencing on September 30, 2007 in
a percentage amount of the principal balance of the term loan facility
outstanding on September 30, 2007, net of loan repayments, of 1.25% between
September 30, 2007 and June 30, 2008, 5.0% between September 30, 2008 and June
30, 2009, and 6.25% between September 30, 2009 and June 30, 2012. Based on the
$194.0 million net principal balance of the term loan facility outstanding on
September 30, 2007, a $70.0 million prepayment in March 2009 and a $31.5 million
prepayment in May 2009, quarterly payments of $4.5 million are payable between
September 30, 2009 and June 30, 2012.
As of June 30, 2009, the Company had outstanding approximately $318.0 million on
its revolving credit facility. During the quarter ended June 30, 2009, we
borrowed $31.5 million from our credit facility to fund the repurchase of bonds
and general corporate purposes, and repaid approximately $35.1
million.
Senior
Subordinated Notes
As of June 30, 2009, the Company had outstanding $200.0 million of its 63/8% Senior
Subordinated Notes due February 2013 and $101.5 million of its 87/8% Senior
Subordinated Notes due July 2011. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, the
Company repurchased $2.4 million of the 87/8% Senior
Subordinated Notes at an average discount of 50.0%, and recorded a gain on the
retirement of debt, net of the write-off of deferred financing costs, of
approximately $1.2 million. The 87/8% Senior
Subordinated Notes due July 2011 had a carrying value of $101.5 million and a
fair value of approximately $40.6 million as of June 30, 2009, and a
carrying value of $104.0 million and a fair value of approximately
$52.0 million as of December 31, 2008., The 63/8% Senior
Subordinated Notes due February 2013 had a carrying value of $200.0 million and
a fair value of approximately $64.0 million as of June 30,
2009, and a carrying value of $200.0 million and a fair value of
approximately $60.0 million as of December 31, 2008. The fair values
were determined based on the fair market value of similar
instruments.
Interest payments under the terms of the 63/8% and the
87/8% Senior
Subordinated Notes are due in February and August, and January and July of each
year, respectively. Based on the $200.0 million principal balance of
the 63/8% Senior
Subordinated Notes outstanding on June 30, 2009, interest payments of $6.4
million are payable each February and August through February
2013. The Company made this $6.4 million payment in February 2009.
Based on the $101.5 million principal balance of the 87/8% Senior
Subordinated Notes outstanding on June 30, 2009, interest payments of $4.5
million are payable each January and July through July 2011. The Company
made a $4.6 million payment in January 2009 and a $4.5 million payment in July
2009.
The indentures governing the Company’s senior subordinated notes also 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
Company was in compliance with all covenants as of June 30, 2009. At the date of
the filing of this Form 10-Q and based on its most recent projections, the
Company's management believes it will be in compliance with all covenants
through June 30, 2010.
The Company conducts a portion of its business through its subsidiaries. Certain
of the Company’s subsidiaries have fully and unconditionally guaranteed the
Company’s 87/8% Senior
Subordinated Notes, the 63/8% Senior
Subordinated Notes and the Company’s obligations under the Credit
Agreement.

The Credit
Agreement expires the earlier of (i) six months prior to the scheduled
maturity of the 87/8% Senior
Subordinated Notes due July 1, 2011, unless the 87/8% Senior
Subordinated Notes have been refinanced or repurchased prior to such
date, or (ii) June 30, 2012. In prior reporting, management had
assumed that the Company would refinance the 87/8% Senior
Subordinated Notes prior to January 1, 2011 and, therefore, the maturity date
for the loans governed by the Credit Agreement would be June 30, 2012.
However, while management continues to believe it is probable that the
Company will refinance the 87/8% Senior
Subordinated Notes prior to January 1, 2011, given the current state of the U.S.
economy and the volatility and tightening of the credit markets, management
believes it is appropriate to reflect that the loans governed by the Credit
Agreement will mature on January 1, 2011, six months prior to the scheduled
maturity of the 87/8% Senior
Subordinated Notes.
8. INCOME
TAXES:
The tax rate from continuing operations for the six month period ended
June 30, 2009 was (21.3%), which includes (.8%) for discrete
items. This rate is based on the blending of an estimated
annual effective tax rate of (15.2%) for Radio One, which has a full valuation
allowance for most of its deferred tax assets (“DTAs”), with an estimated annual
effective rate of 35.2% for Reach Media, which does not have a valuation
allowance.
In 2007, the Company concluded it was more likely than not that the benefit from
certain of its DTAs would not be realized. The Company considered its
historically profitable jurisdictions, its sources of future taxable income and
tax planning strategies in determining the amount of valuation allowance
recorded. As part of that assessment, the Company also determined that it was
not appropriate under generally accepted accounting principles to benefit its
DTAs based on deferred tax liabilities (“DTLs”) related to indefinite-lived
intangibles that cannot be scheduled to reverse in the same period. Because the
DTL in this case would not reverse until some future indefinite period when the
intangibles are either sold or impaired, any resulting temporary differences
cannot be considered a source of future taxable income to support realization of
the DTAs. As a result of this assessment, and given the then three year
cumulative loss position, the uncertainty of future taxable income and the
feasibility of tax planning strategies, the Company recorded a valuation
allowance for certain of its DTAs in 2007. For the six month period ended June
30, 2009, an additional valuation allowance for the current year anticipated
increase to DTAs related to net operating loss carryforwards from the
amortization of indefinite-lived intangibles was included in the annual
effective tax rate calculation.
On January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of FIN No. 48,“Accounting for Uncertainty in
Income Taxes - Interpretation of SFAS No. 109,”
which recognizes 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. The nature of the
uncertainties pertaining to our income tax position is primarily due to various
state tax positions. As of June 30, 2009, we had approximately $5.0 million in
unrecognized tax benefits. Accrued interest and penalties related to
unrecognized tax benefits is recognized as a component of tax expense. During
the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company recorded an expense for interest
and penalties of $23,000. As of June 30, 2009, the Company had a
liability of $141,000 for unrecognized tax benefits for interest and
penalties. The Company estimates the possible change in unrecognized tax
benefits prior to June 30, 2010 would be anywhere from $0 to a reduction of
$222,000, due to expiring statutes.

9. STOCKHOLDERS’
EQUITY:
Common Stock
Shareholders of Class A Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share.
Shareholders of Class B Common Stock are entitled to ten votes per share.
Shareholders of Class C and Class D Common Stock are not entitled to
vote.
Stock Repurchase Program
In March 2008, the Company’s board of directors authorized a repurchase of
shares of the Company’s Class A and Class D common stock through December 31,
2009, in an amount of up to $150.0 million, the maximum amount allowable under
the Credit Agreement. The amount and timing of such repurchases will be
based on pricing, general economic and market conditions, and the restrictions
contained in the agreements governing the Company’s credit facilities and
subordinated debt and certain other factors. While $150.0 million is the maximum
amount allowable under the Credit Agreement, in 2005, under a prior board
authorization, the Company utilized approximately $78.0 million to repurchase
common stock leaving capacity of $72.0 million under the Credit Agreement.
During the six month period ended June 30, 2009, the Company repurchased 34,889
shares of Class A common stock at an average price of $0.68 and 20.8 million
shares of Class D common stock at an average price of $0.47. There were no
shares repurchased during the six month period ended June 30, 2008; however, for
the year ended December 31, 2008 the Company repurchased 421,661 shares of Class
A common stock at an average price of $1.32 and 20.0 million shares of Class D
common stock at an average price of $0.58. As of June 30, 2009, the Company had
approximately $50.0 million in capacity available under the 2008 stock
repurchase program.
The Company continues to have an open stock repurchase authorization with
respect to its Class A and D stock and continued to make purchases subsequent to
June 30, 2009. (See Note 14 – Subsequent Events.)
Stock Option and Restricted Stock Grant Plan
Under the
Company’s 1999 Stock Option and Restricted Stock Grant Plan (“Plan”), the
Company had the authority to issue up to 10,816,198 shares of Class D
Common Stock and 1,408,099 shares of Class A Common Stock. The Plan
expired May 5, 2009, thus as of June 30, 2009, no Class A and D shares
were available for grant under the Plan. The options previously issued
under the Plan are exercisable in installments determined by the compensation
committee of the Company’s board of directors at the time of grant. These
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.
As noted in our proxy statement filed on or about August 7, 2009 we are
proposing to adopt a new stock option and restricted stock plan. The
terms of the proposed plan are substantially similar to the prior
Plan.
On
January 1, 2006, the Company adopted 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. These
stock-based awards do not participate in dividends until fully vested. 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 forfeitures differ
substantially from our current estimates, amounts will be recorded as a
cumulative adjustment in the period the estimated number of stock awards 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
estimate.
The
Company also uses the BSM valuation model to calculate the fair value of
stock-based awards. The BSM incorporates various assumptions including
volatility, expected life, and interest rates. For options granted the Company
uses the BSM option-pricing model and determines: (1) the term by using the
simplified “plain-vanilla” method as allowed under SAB No. 110; (2) a
historical volatility over a period commensurate with the expected term, with
the observation of the volatility on a daily basis; and (3) a risk-free
interest rate that was consistent with the expected term of the stock options
and based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the
grant.
The Company did not grant stock options during the three months and six months
ended June 30, 2009. The Company granted 1,913,650 stock options during the
three months ended June 30, 2008. No other options were granted during the six
month period ended June 30, 2008. The per share weighted-average fair value of
options granted during the three months ended June 30, 2008 was
$0.74.
25
These
fair values were derived using the BSM with the following weighted-average
assumptions:

The
aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the difference between
the Company’s stock closing price on the last day of trading during the six
months ended June 30, 2009 and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of
shares that would have been received by the holders of in-the-money options had
all the option holders exercised their options on June 30, 2009. This amount
changes based on the fair market value of the Company’s stock. There were no
options exercised during the three months ended June 30, 2009. The number of
options that vested during the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 were
753,162 and 809,413 respectively.
As of
June 30, 2009, approximately $1.2 million of total unrecognized
compensation cost related to stock options is expected to be recognized over a
weighted-average period of 1.1 years. The stock option weighted-average fair
value per share was $4.41 at June 30, 2009.

10. SEGMENT
INFORMATION:
The
Company has two reportable segments: (i) Radio Broadcasting; and (ii)
Internet/Publishing. These two segments operate in the United States and are
consistently aligned with the Company’s management of its businesses and its
financial reporting structure.
The Radio
Broadcasting segment consists of all broadcast and Reach Media results of
operations. The Internet/Publishing segment includes the results of our online
business, including the operations of CCI since its date of acquisition, and
Giant Magazine. Corporate/Eliminations/Other represents financial activity
associated with our corporate staff and offices, inter-company activity between
the two segments and activity associated with a small film venture.
Operating
loss or income represents total revenues less operating expenses, depreciation
and amortization, and impairment of long-lived assets. Inter-company revenue
earned and expenses charged between segments are recorded at fair value and
eliminated in consolidation.
The
accounting policies described in the summary of significant accounting policies
in Note 1 – Organization and
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies are applied consistently
across the two segments.
Detailed
segment data for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 is

11. CONTRACT
TERMINATION:
In
connection with the September 2005 termination of the Company’s sales
representation agreements with Interep National Radio Sales, Inc. (“Interep”),
and its subsequent agreements with Katz Communications, Inc. (“Katz”) making
Katz the Company’s sole national sales representative, Katz paid the Company
$3.4 million as an inducement to enter into new agreements and paid Interep
approximately $5.3 million to satisfy the Company’s termination obligations. The
Company is amortizing both over the four-year life of the subsequent Katz
agreements as a reduction to selling, general, and administrative expense. For
each of the three month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, selling, general,
and administrative expense was reduced by $474,000, and for each of the six
month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, the reduction was 947,000. As of
June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, an unamortized amount of $316,000 and
approximately $1.3 million, respectively, is reflected in other current
liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
12. RELATED
PARTY TRANSACTIONS:
The
Company’s CEO and Chairperson own a music company called Music One, Inc. (“Music
One”). The Company sometimes engages in promoting the recorded music product of
Music One. Based on the cross-promotional value received by the Company, we
believe that the provision of such promotion is fair. For the three months and
six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, Radio One paid $1,000 and $28,000, and
$85,000 and $124,000, respectively, to or on behalf of Music One, primarily for
market talent event appearances, travel reimbursement and
sponsorships. For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009, the
Company provided no advertising services to Music One; however, for the same
periods in 2008, the Company provided $15,000 and $61,000, respectively, in
advertising services. As of June 30, 2009, Music One owed Radio One $70,000 for
office space and administrative services provided in 2008 and 2007.

14. SUBSEQUENT
EVENTS:
During
July 2009, the Company repurchased 1,351,300 shares of Class D common stock in
the amount of $513,494 at an average price of $0.38 per share. As of July 31,
2009, the Company had approximately $49.5 million in capacity available under
its share repurchase program.
The
United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) periodically
reviews filings made under the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 to monitor and enhance compliance with the applicable
disclosure and accounting requirements. As required by the Sarbanes-Oxley
Act of 2002, the SEC undertakes some level of review of each reporting company
at least once every three years. On August 6, 2009, the Company received
two letters from the SEC regarding certain disclosures made in its Form 10-K/A
for the year ended December 31, 2008 filed March 16, 2009, as amended April 30,
2009, Forms 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2009 and the Company’s
Preliminary Proxy Statement (the “Reviewed Company Filings”). The letter
indicates that the SEC has reviewed the Reviewed Company Filings and suggests
certain revisions to the Reviewed Company Filings (the “Comments”).
The Company is reviewing the Comments and will respond to the SEC
accordingly.
As
part of the preparation of the interim consolidated financial statements, the
Company performed an evaluation of subsequent events occurring after the
consolidated balance sheet date of June 30, 2009, through August 7, 2009, the
date the interim consolidated financial statements were issued.

Item 2. Management’s 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 Management’s
Discussion and Analysis contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for
the year ended December 31, 2008.
Introduction
Revenue
We
primarily derive revenue from the sale of advertising time and program
sponsorships to local and national advertisers on our radio stations.
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 station’s 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.
During
the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, approximately 57.9% and 56.4% of
our net revenue was generated from local advertising and approximately 36.5% and
37.5% was generated from national advertising, including network advertising. In
comparison, during the three months and six months ended June 30, 2008,
approximately 58.9% of our net revenue was generated from local advertising for
both periods and approximately 36.0% and 36.3% was generated from national
advertising, including network advertising. National advertising also includes
advertising revenue generated from our internet and publishing segments. The
balance of revenue was generated from tower rental income, ticket sales and
revenue related to our sponsored events, management fees, magazine
subscriptions, newsstand revenue 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 for our spot inventory, we closely monitor the
use of trade and barter agreements.
Community
Connect Inc. (“CCI”), which the Company acquired in April 2008, currently
generates the majority of the Company’s internet revenue, and derives such
revenue principally from advertising services, including diversity recruiting.
Advertising services include the sale of banner and sponsorship
advertisements. Advertising revenue is recognized either as impressions
(the number of times advertisements appear in viewed pages) are delivered, when
“click through” purchases or leads are reported, or ratably over the contract
period, where applicable. CCI has a diversity recruiting agreement with Monster,
Inc. (“Monster”). Under the agreement, Monster posts job listings and
advertising on CCI websites and CCI earns revenue for displaying the images on
its websites. This agreement expires in December 2009.
In
December 2006, the Company acquired certain net assets (“Giant Magazine”) of
Giant Magazine, LLC. Giant Magazine derives revenue from the sale of
advertising, as well as newsstand and subscription revenue generated from sales
of the magazine.
In
February 2005, we acquired 51% of the common stock of Reach Media, Inc. (“Reach
Media”). A substantial portion of Reach Media’s revenue is generated from a
sales representation agreement with a third party radio company. Pursuant to a
multi-year agreement, revenue is received monthly in exchange for the sale of
advertising time on the nationally syndicated Tom Joyner Morning Show, which is
currently aired on 106 affiliated stations. The annual amount of revenue is
based on a contractual amount determined based on number of affiliates,
demographic audience and ratings. The agreement provides for a potential
to earn additional amounts if certain revenue goals are met. The agreement also
provides for sales representation rights related to Reach Media’s events.
Additional revenue is generated by Reach Media from this and other customers
through special events, sponsorships, its internet business and other related
activities. The agreement expires December 31, 2009.
Expenses
Our
significant broadcast expenses are (i) employee salaries and commissions, (ii)
programming expenses, (iii) marketing and promotional 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 marketing and promotional expenses to increase our audiences.
However, because Arbitron reports ratings either monthly or quarterly, depending
on the particular market, any ratings changes and the effect on advertising
revenue tends to lag behind both the reporting of the ratings and the incurrence
of advertising and promotional expenditures.
38
In
addition to salaries and commissions, major expenses for our internet business
include membership traffic acquisition costs, software product design, post
application software development and maintenance, database and server support
costs, the help desk function, data center expenses connected with internet
service provider (“ISP”) hosting services and other internet content delivery
expenses. Major expenses for our publishing business include salaries,
commissions, and costs associated with printing, production and circulation of
magazine issues.
Measurement
of Performance
We
monitor and evaluate the growth and operational performance of our business
using net income and the following key metrics:
(a) Net 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
revenue. Net revenue consists of gross revenue, net of local and national agency
and outside sales representative commissions consistent with industry practice.
Net revenue is recognized in the period in which advertisements are broadcast
or, in the case of Giant Magazine, the month in which a particular issue is
available for sale. Net revenue also includes advertising aired in exchange for
goods and services, which is recorded at fair value, revenue from sponsored
events and other revenue. Net revenue is recognized for CCI as impressions are
delivered, as “click throughs” are reported or ratably over contract periods,
where applicable.
(b) Station operating
income: Net (loss) income before depreciation and
amortization, income taxes, interest income, interest expense, equity in gain or
loss of affiliated company, minority interest in income of subsidiaries, gain on
retirement of debt, other expense, corporate expenses, stock-based compensation
expenses, impairment of long-lived assets and gain or 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
company’s operating performance and is a significant basis used by our
management to measure the operating performance of our stations within the
various markets. Station operating income provides helpful information about our
results of operations, apart from expenses associated with our physical plant,
income taxes, investments, impairment charges, debt financings and retirements,
corporate overhead, stock-based compensation and discontinued operations.
Station operating income is frequently used as a basis 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 represent operating income or loss or cash flows 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 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 revenue.

During
the three months ended June 30, 2009, we recognized approximately $70.1 million
in net revenue compared to approximately $83.4 million during the same period in
2008. These amounts are net of agency and outside sales representative
commissions, which were approximately $7.4 million during the three months ended
2009, compared to approximately $9.4 million during the same period in 2008. The
decrease in net revenue was due primarily to the ongoing poor economic climate
which has continued to weaken demand for advertising in general. For our radio
business, based on reports prepared by the independent accounting firm Miller,
Kaplan, Arase & Co., LLP (“Miller Kaplan”), the markets we operate in
declined 21.3% in total revenues for the second quarter, 20.1% in national
revenues and 23.5% in local revenues. While the Company’s total radio net
revenue declined less than that of the markets in which we operate, nonetheless,
we experienced considerable decreases in net revenue in our larger radio
markets, notably Atlanta, Baltimore, Houston, Raleigh-Durham and Washington, DC.
Both CCI and Reach Media experienced internet revenue declines due to overall
advertising weakness. Net revenue for our syndicated shows and our St. Louis
radio market experienced growth for the quarter.

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. Programming and technical expenses for radio also include expenses
associated with our programming research activities and music royalties.
Expenses associated with the printing and publication of Giant Magazine issues
are also included in programming and technical. For our internet business,
programming and technical expenses include software product design,
post-application software development and maintenance, database and server
support costs, the help desk function, data center expenses connected with ISP
hosting services and other internet content delivery expenses. The decrease in
programming and technical expenses resulted from several cost reduction
initiatives in the radio segment, specifically compensation savings from
employee layoffs and salary reductions, contracted on-air talent reductions and
lower travel and entertainment spending. Lower issue related costs for Giant
Magazine also contributed to the reduced programming and technical
expenses.

Selling,
general and administrative expenses include expenses associated with our sales
departments, offices and facilities and personnel (outside of our corporate
headquarters), marketing and promotional expenses, special events and
sponsorships and back office expenses. Expenses to secure ratings data for our
radio stations and visitors’ data for our websites are also included in selling,
general and administrative expenses. In addition, selling, general and
administrative expenses for radio and internet also include expenses related to
the advertising traffic (scheduling and insertion) functions. Our radio division
drove approximately $4.9 million in savings, primarily from lower commissions
and national representative fees due to declining revenue and lower salaries
resulting from employee layoffs and salary cuts. Other radio division savings
included less travel and entertainment spending and vacation expense savings due
to scheduled office closings. Other savings in selling, general and
administrative expenses resulted from less promotional spending by Giant
Magazine and reduced traffic acquisition costs incurred by our internet
division.

(70.4)%
|
Corporate
selling, general and administrative expenses consist of expenses associated with
maintaining our corporate headquarters and facilities, including personnel.
Decreased corporate selling, general and administrative expenses were primarily
due to the non-recurrence of compensation costs recorded in April 2008 for new
employment agreements for the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and the
Founder and Chairperson. Specifically, the prior year’s second quarter included
approximately $10.4 million in bonuses for the CEO, of which approximately $5.8
million was paid for a signing and a “make whole” bonus, and another
approximately $4.6 million was recorded, but not paid, for a bonus associated
with potential distribution proceeds from the Company’s investment in TV
One. Reduced corporate selling, general and administrative expenses also
resulted from cost reduction initiatives, specifically lower compensation due to
salary cuts and lower bonuses, less travel and entertainment spending and
vacation benefit savings from scheduled office closings and changes to the
Company’s vacation policy. Excluding the approximately $10.4 million recorded in
April 2008 for the CEO’s bonuses associated with his new employment agreement,
corporate selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 27.9% for the
three months ended June 30, 2009, compared to the same period in
2008.

The

additions for CCI, a new studio facility for our Charlotte location and assets
acquired from our June 30, 2008 WPRS-FM acquisition.

|
The
decrease in interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was due
primarily to early redemptions of the Company’s 87/8% Senior
Subordinated Notes due July 2011, and to a lesser extent, more favorable rates
and pay downs of outstanding debt on the Company’s credit facility.

The gain
on retirement of debt for the three months ended June 30, 2008 was due to the
repurchase of $8.0 million of the Company’s previously outstanding 87/8% Senior Subordinated Notes
due July 2011 at an average discount of 13.5%. There were no notes repurchases
during the second quarter of 2009. As of June 30, 2009, an amount of
approximately $101.5 million remained outstanding.

Equity in
income of affiliated company primarily reflects our estimated equity in the net
income of TV One. The increase in equity in income for the three months ended
June 30, 2009 was due primarily to additional net income generated by TV
One. The Company’s share of this income is driven by TV One’s current
capital structure and the Company’s ownership of the equity securities of TV One
that are currently absorbing its net income.

|
During
the three months ended June 30, 2009, the provision for income taxes decreased
to approximately $1.8 million from a tax provision of approximately $9.8 million
for the same period in 2008. In prior years, we recorded a deferred tax
liability (“DTL”) related to the amortization of indefinite-lived assets that
are deducted for tax purposes, but not deducted for book purposes. Also in prior
years, the Company generated deferred tax assets (“DTAs”), mainly federal and
state net operating loss (“NOLs”) carryforwards. In the fourth quarter of 2007,
except for DTAs in its historically profitable filing jurisdictions, and DTAs
associated with definite-lived assets, the Company recorded a full valuation
allowance for all other DTAs, including NOLs, as it was determined that more
likely than not, the DTAs would not be realized. In the
first quarter of 2009, an impairment of certain indefinite-lived intangibles was
recorded. A portion of this impairment decreased DTLs associated with the
indefinite-lived intangibles. The tax benefit of this reduction of the DTLs
reduced the effective annual tax rate for 2009. No impairment was
recorded for the six month period ended June 30, 2008. Additionally, the
2008 provision was calculated on an actual basis, while the 2009 provision was
calculated using the effective annual tax rate. This change, when combined
with the 2009 impairment of indefinite-lived intangibles, resulted in the
decrease in taxes.

The
loss from discontinued operations, net of tax, for the three months ended June
30, 2009 is primarily due to legal and professional expenses incurred as a
result of ongoing legal activity from previous station sales. The gain from
discontinued operations, net of tax, for the three months ended June 30, 2008
resulted from the gain on the April 2008 closing on the sale of the assets of
radio station WMCU-AM, located in the Miami metropolitan area. (Loss) income
from discontinued operations, net of tax, also includes a tax provision of
$4,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009, compared to a tax provision of
$351,000 for the same period in 2008.

During
the six months ended June 30, 2009, we recognized approximately $130.8
million in net revenue compared to approximately $155.9 million during the same
period in 2008. These amounts are net of agency and outside sales representative
commissions, which were approximately $12.9 million during the six months
ended 2009, compared to approximately $17.3 million during the same period
in 2008. CCI, the social online networking company acquired by the Company,
generated approximately $6.2 million in net revenue for the six months ended
June 30, 2009, compared to approximately $3.6 million from April 10, 2008 (date
of acquisition) through June 30, 2008. Despite increased revenue from CCI, the
decrease in net revenue was due primarily to the ongoing poor economic climate
which has continued to weaken demand for advertising in general. For our radio
business, based on reports prepared by the independent accounting firm Miller
Kaplan, the markets we operate in declined 22.6% in total revenues for the six
months ended June 30, 2009, 23.4% in national revenues and 24.5% in local
revenues. While the Company’s total radio net revenue performance outperformed
that of the markets in which we operate, nonetheless, we experienced
considerable net revenue declines in our larger markets, notably Atlanta,
Baltimore, Cleveland, Houston, Raleigh-Durham and Washington, DC. Net revenue
declines in these and other markets more than offset a net revenue increase for
our syndicated shows, which more than doubled for the six months ended June 30,
2009, compared to the same period in 2008. Excluding CCI, net revenue declined
18.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to the same period in
2008.

Programming
and technical expenses include expenses associated with on-air talent and the

the creation, distribution and broadcast of programming content on our radio
stations. Programming and technical expenses for radio also include expenses
associated with our programming research activities and music royalties.
Expenses associated with the printing and publication of Giant Magazine issues
are also included in programming and technical. For our internet business,
programming and technical expenses include software product design,
post-application software development and maintenance, database and server
support costs, the help desk function, data center expenses connected with ISP
hosting services and other internet content delivery expenses. Programming and
technical expenses for CCI, which was acquired in April 2008, grew from
approximately $1.7 million to $3.6 million for the six months ended June 30,
2009, compared to the same period in 2008. This increase was totally offset by
several cost reduction initiatives in the radio segment, specifically
compensation savings from employee layoffs and salary reductions, contracted
on-air talent reductions and lower travel and entertainment spending. Giant
Magazine also experienced lower issue related costs during the first half of
2009. Excluding CCI’s expenses, programming and technical expenses decreased
5.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to the same period in
2008.

Selling,
general and administrative expenses include expenses associated with our sales
departments, offices and facilities and personnel (outside of our corporate
headquarters), marketing and promotional expenses, special events and
sponsorships and back office expenses. Expenses to secure ratings data for our
radio stations and visitors’ data for our websites are also included in selling,
general and administrative expenses. In addition, selling, general and
administrative expenses for radio and internet include expenses related to the
advertising traffic (scheduling and insertion) functions. Selling, general and
administrative expenses also include membership traffic acquisition costs for
our online business. Our radio division drove approximately $7.7 million in
savings, primarily in compensation, specifically commissions and national
representative fees due to declining revenue and salaries resulting from
employee layoffs and salary cuts. Other radio division savings included less
promotional expenses, less travel and entertainment spending and vacation
benefit savings from scheduled office closings and changes to the Company’s
vacation policy. Giant Magazine generated over approximately $1.3 million in
savings, primarily in promotional spending. Selling, general and administrative
expenses for CCI, which was acquired in April 2008, increased to approximately
$4.3 million, from $1.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared
to the same period for 2008. Excluding CCI’s expenses, selling, general and

Corporate
expenses consist of expenses associated with our corporate headquarters and
facilities, including personnel. The decrease in corporate expenses during the
six months ended June 30, 2009 was primarily due to the non-recurrence of
compensation costs recorded in April 2008 associated with new employment
agreements for the Company’s CEO and the Founder and Chairperson. Specifically,
the compensation recorded in the second quarter of 2008 included approximately
$10.4 million in bonuses for the CEO, of which approximately $5.8 million was
for a signing and a “make whole” bonus paid, and another approximately $4.6
million was recorded, but not paid, for a bonus associated with potential
distribution proceeds from the Company’s investment in TV
One. Additional corporate selling, general and administrative savings
resulted from compensation for salary cuts and lower bonuses and vacation
savings from schedule office closings. Reduced corporate selling, general and
administrative spending also resulted from lower legal and professional
expenses, less consultants and contract labor and less travel and entertainment.
Excluding the approximately $10.4 million recorded for the CEO’s bonuses in
April 2008, corporate selling, general and administrative expenses
decreased 23.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to the same
period in 2008.

“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. Stock
based compensation also includes expenses associated with restricted stock
grants. The increase in stock-based compensation for the six months ended June
30, 2009 was primarily due to additional stock options and restricted stock
awards associated with the March and April 2008 employment agreements for the
CEO, the Founder and Chairperson and the Chief Financial Officer
(“CFO”).

The

The
increase in impairment of long-lived assets for the six months ended
June 30, 2009 reflects a non-cash charge recorded for the impairment of
radio broadcasting licenses in 11 of our 16 markets, namely Charlotte,
Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus, Dallas, Houston, Indianapolis, Philadelphia,
Raleigh-Durham, Richmond and St. Louis. The impairment charges were driven by
the continuing economic downturn and the further deterioration it caused to the
2009 radio industry outlook, which adversely impacted revenue, profitability and
terminal values. As a result, in February 2009, we lowered our financial
projections since our 2008 annual and year end fair value assessment, thus,
causing the impairment.

The

primarily to pay downs on outstanding debt on the Company’s credit facility,
early redemptions of the Company’s 87/8% Senior
Subordinated Notes due July 2011, and to a lesser extent, more favorable rates,
which were favorably impacted by shifting outstanding principal debt from the
term to the revolver portion of the credit facility.

subordinated notes at an average discount of 50.0%. The gain for the six months
ended June 30, 2008 was due to the early redemption of approximately $8.0

Equity in
income (loss) of affiliated company primarily reflects our estimated equity in
the net income or loss of TV One. The increase in the equity in income for the
six months ended June 30, 2009 was due primarily to additional net income
generated by TV One. This compares to an equity in loss of affiliated
company for the six months ended June 30, 2008, given TV One’s net loss at the
time. The Company’s share of the net income or loss is driven by TV One’s
current capital structure and the Company’s ownership of the equity securities
of TV One that are currently absorbing its net income or
losses.

During
the six months ended June 30, 2009, the provision for income taxes decreased to
approximately $8.8 million from approximately $18.7 million for the same period
in 2008. In prior years, we recorded a DTL related to the amortization of
indefinite-lived assets that are deducted for tax purposes, but not deducted for
book purposes. Also in prior years, the Company generated DTAs, mainly federal
and state NOL carryforwards. In the fourth quarter of 2007, except for DTAs in
its historically profitable filing jurisdictions, and DTAs associated with
definite-lived assets, the Company recorded a full valuation allowance for all
other DTAs, including NOLs, as it was determined that more likely than not, the
DTAs would not be realized. In the
first quarter of 2009, an impairment of certain indefinite-lived intangibles was
recorded. A portion of this impairment decreased DTLs associated with
the indefinite-lived intangibles. The tax benefit of this reduction
of the DTLs reduced the effective annual tax rate for 2009. No
impairment was recorded for the six month period ended June 30,
2008. Additionally, the 2008 provision was calculated on an actual
basis, while the 2009 provision was calculated using the effective annual tax
rate. This change, when combined with the 2009 impairment of
indefinite-lived intangibles, resulted in the decrease in
taxes.

The

area, which was more than offset by a loss on the May 2008 closing on the sale
of the assets of radio station KRBV-FM, located in the Los Angeles metropolitan
area. Approximately $5.1 million in impairment charges were recorded for the six
months ended June 30, 2008, based on the sale price of the Los Angeles station
pursuant to the asset purchase agreement. The income (loss) from discontinued
operations, net of tax, also includes a tax provision of $93,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 2009, compared to a provision of approximately $1.2
million for the same period in 2008.

LIQUIDITY
AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our
primary source of liquidity is cash provided by operations and, to the extent
necessary and available, borrowings available under our credit facilities and
other debt or equity financing.
In
June 2005, the Company entered into a credit agreement with a syndicate of banks
(the “Credit Agreement”). Simultaneous with entering into the Credit Agreement,
the Company borrowed $437.5 million to retire all outstanding obligations under
its previous credit agreement. The Credit Agreement was amended in April 2006
and September 2007 to modify certain financial covenants and other provisions.
The Credit Agreement expires the earlier of (a) six months prior to the
scheduled maturity date of the 87/8% Senior
Subordinated Notes due July 2011 (unless the 87/8% Senior
Subordinated Notes have been repurchased or refinanced prior to such date) or
(b) June 30, 2012. 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 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, permitted direct and indirect investments 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
September 13, 2007, and no less than 1.60 to 1.00 from September 14, 2007 to
June 30, 2008, and no less than 1.75 to 1.00 from July 1, 2008 to December 31,
2009, and no less than 2.00 to 1.00 from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2010,
and no less than 2.25 to 1.00 from January 1, 2011 and thereafter, (b)
maintaining a total leverage ratio of no greater than 7.00 to 1.00 beginning
April 1, 2006 to September 13, 2007, and no greater than 7.75 to 1.00 beginning
September 14, 2007 to March 31, 2008, and no greater than 7.50 to 1.00 beginning
April 1, 2008 to September 30, 2008, and no greater than 7.25 to 1.00 beginning
October 1, 2008 to June 30, 2010, and no greater than 6.50 to 1.00 beginning
July 1, 2010 to September 30, 2011, and no greater than 6.00 to 1.00 beginning
October 1, 2011 and thereafter, (c) maintaining a senior leverage ratio of no
greater than 5.00 to 1.00 beginning June 13, 2005 to September 30, 2006, and no
greater than 4.50 to 1.00 beginning October 1, 2006 to September 30, 2007, and
no greater than 4.00 to 1.00 beginning October 1, 2007 and thereafter, (d)
limitations on liens, (e) limitations on the sale of assets, (f) limitations on
the payment of dividends, and (g) limitations on mergers, as well as other
customary covenants. The Company was in compliance with all debt covenants as of
June 30, 2009. At the date of the filing of this Form 10-Q and based on its most
recent projections, the Company's management believes it will be in compliance
with all debt covenants through June 30, 2010. Based on its fiscal year end 2007
excess cash flow calculation, the Company made a debt principal prepayment of
approximately $6.0 million in May 2008. For the year ended December 31, 2008 no
excess cash calculation was required and therefore, no payment was required. In
March 2009 and May 2009, the Company made prepayments of $70.0 million and $31.5
million, respectively, on the term loan facility based on its excess proceeds
calculation which included asset acquisition and disposition activity for the
twelve month period ending May 31, 2009. These prepayments were
funded with $70.0 million and $31.5 million in loan proceeds from the revolving
facility in March 2009 and May 2009, respectively.
During
the three months ended June 30, 2009, the Company borrowed $31.5 million
from its revolving credit facility to fund the $31.5 million prepayment of the
term loan. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company borrowed
$111.5 million from its revolving credit facility to fund $101.5 million in
prepayments of the term loan, and remaining portion was used to repurchase
its 87/8% Senior
Subordinated Notes due July 2011 and to repurchase Company stock. During the six
months ended June 30, 2008, the Company borrowed approximately
$79.0 million from its credit facility and repaid approximately $141.9
million.
As of
June 30, 2009, the Company had approximately $182.0 million of borrowing
capacity. Taking into consideration the financial covenants under the Credit
Agreement, approximately $8.0 million of that amount is available for borrowing.
The amount available for borrowing could increase to the extent the funds are
used to repurchase the 87/8% Senior
Subordinated Notes. Both the term loan and the revolving facilities 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 2.25%, or
(ii) the prime rate plus a spread of up to 1.25%. The amount of the spread
varies depending on our leverage ratio. The Company also paid 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 unused commitment of the
revolving facility.
The
Credit Agreement requires the Company from time to time to protect ourselves
from interest rate fluctuations using interest rate hedge agreements. As a
result, the Company has entered into various fixed rate swap agreements designed
to mitigate its 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, 2009, we had two swap agreements in place for a total
notional amount of $50.0 million, and the periods remaining on these two
swap agreements range in duration from 11.5 to 35.5 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
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. The Company
was in compliance with all covenants as of June 30, 2009, and as of the date of
the filing of this Form 10-Q, and based on current projections, the Company
believes it will be in compliance with all covenants through June 30,
2010.

million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to net cash flows used
in operating activities of approximately $1.9 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2008. Excluding the non-cash impairment charge of approximately $49.0
million, cash flows from operating activities for the six months ended June 30,
2009 increased from the prior year due primarily to a decrease in the net
consolidated loss for the period of approximately
$27.3 million.
Net cash flows used in investing activities were approximately $2.6 million
for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to net cash flows provided from
investing activities of approximately $74.9 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2008. Capital expenditures, including digital tower and transmitter
upgrades, and deposits for station equipment and purchases were approximately
$2.3 million and $4.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and
2008, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2008, we sold the
stations in our Los Angeles and Miami markets and received proceeds of
approximately $150.2 million. During the same period we acquired CCI
and closed on our acquisition of WPRS-FM using approximately $70.4 million in
funds.
Net cash flows used in financing activities were approximately $10.4 million and
$86.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008,
respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively,
we borrowed $111.5 million and approximately $79.0 million from
our credit facility and repaid approximately $110.7 million and $150.9 million
in outstanding debt. During the six months ended June 30, 2009 and
2008, we repurchased approximately $2.4 million and $8.0 million, respectively,
of our 87/8% Senior
Subordinated Notes due July 2011. In addition, during the six months ended
June 30, 2009 and 2008, we repurchased approximately $9.9 million and $2.8
million, respectively, of our Class A and Class D common stock. We paid
approximately $3.9 million in dividends to Reach Media’s noncontrolling
interest shareholders for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The Company
did not pay any dividends to Reach Media’s noncontrolling interest
shareholders for the six months ended June 30, 2009.

From time
to time we consider opportunities to acquire additional radio stations,
primarily in the top 50 African-American markets, and to make strategic
acquisitions, investments and divestitures. In June 2008, the Company purchased
the assets of WPRS-FM, a radio station located in the Washington, DC
metropolitan area for approximately $38.0 million. Since April 2007
and up until closing, the station had been operated under an LMA, and, hence,
the results of its operations had been included in the Company’s consolidated
financial statements. The station was consolidated with the Company’s
existing Washington, DC operations in April 2007. This purchase
was funded from borrowings under our credit facilities of $35.0 million. In
April 2008, we acquired CCI, an online social networking company, for $38.0
million in cash, and we borrowed $34.0 million from our credit facility to close
this transaction. 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 $13.7 million at June 30, 2009) we have no
other definitive agreements to acquire radio stations or to make strategic
investments. In October 2007, the Company had committed (subject to the
completion and execution of requisite legal documentation) to invest in QCP
Capital Partners, L.P. (“QCP”). At that time the Company also had agreed to
provide an unsecured working capital line of credit to QCP Capital Partners,
LLC, the management company for QCP, in the amount of $775,000. As of
December 31, 2008, the Company had provided $457,000 under the line of credit.
In December 2008, the Company made a determination that there was a substantial
likelihood that QCP would not be able to proceed successfully with its
fundraising and, therefore, the Company was unlikely to recover any of the
amounts provided to QCP Capital Partners, LLC pursuant to the October 2007 line
of credit agreement. As a result, in December 2008, the Company wrote off the
full amount outstanding under the line of credit agreement. No further
investments in, or loans to, QCP are anticipated to be made in the foreseeable
future.
We
anticipate that any future acquisitions or strategic investments will be
financed through funds generated from operations, cash on hand, draws from our
existing credit facilities, 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, 2009, we had three standby letters of credit totaling $610,000 in
connection with our annual insurance policy renewals. In addition, we had a
letter of credit of $295,000 in connection with a contract that we inherited as
part of the acquisition of CCI. Other than a $40,000 reduction to the
insurance letters of credit in April 2009 and the cancelation of a $200,000
letter of credit for a sponsorship event, 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 12 months, our principal liquidity
requirements will be for working capital, continued business development,
strategic investment opportunities and for general corporate purposes, including
capital expenditures.
The
Company continually projects its anticipated cash needs, which include its
operating needs, capital requirements, the TV One funding commitment and
principal and interest payments on its indebtedness. Management’s most recent
operating income and cash flow projections considered the current economic
crisis, which has reduced advertising demand in general, as well as the limited
credit environment. As of the filing of this Form 10-Q, management believes the
Company can meet its liquidity needs through the end of June 30, 2010 with
cash and cash equivalents on hand, projected cash flows from operations and, to
the extent necessary, through its borrowing capacity under the Credit Agreement,
which was approximately $8.0 million at June 30, 2009. Based on these
projections, management also believes the Company will be in compliance with its
debt covenants through June 30, 2010. However, a continued worsening economy, or
other unforeseen circumstances, may negatively impact the Company’s operations
beyond those assumed in its projections. Management considered the risks that
the current economic conditions may have on its liquidity projections, as well
as the Company’s ability to meet its debt covenant requirements. If economic
conditions deteriorate unexpectedly to an extent that we could not meet our
liquidity needs or it appears that noncompliance with debt covenants is likely
to result, the Company would implement several remedial measures, which could
include further operating cost and capital expenditure reductions, and further
de-leveraging actions, which may include repurchases of discounted senior
subordinated notes and other debt repayments. If these measures are not
successful in maintaining compliance with our debt covenants, the Company would
attempt to negotiate for relief through an amendment with its lenders or waivers
of covenant noncompliance, which could result in higher interest costs,
additional fees and reduced borrowing limits. There is no assurance that the
Company would be successful in obtaining relief from its debt covenant
requirements in these circumstances. Failure to comply with our debt covenants
and a corresponding failure to negotiate a favorable amendment or waivers with
the Company’s lenders could result in the acceleration of the maturity of all
the Company’s outstanding debt, which would have a material adverse effect on
the Company’s business and financial position.
51
Credit Rating Agencies
On a
continuing basis, credit rating agencies such as Moody’s Investor Services
(“Moody’s”) and Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”) evaluate our debt. On
June 24, 2009, S&P lowered our corporate credit rating to CCC+ from B- and
the issue-level rating on our $800.0 million secured credit facility to CCC+
from B-. On March 3, 2009, S&P lowered our corporate credit rating to
B- from B and the issue-level rating on our $800.0 million secured credit
facility to B- from BB-. While noting that our rating outlook was negative, the
ratings downgrade reflects concern over the Company’s ability to maintain
compliance with financial covenants due to weak radio advertising demand amid
the deepening recession, which S&P expects to persist for all of
2009. On May 12, 2009, Moody’s downgraded our corporate family rating to
Caa1 from B1. On November 3, 2008, Moody’s placed on review the Company and its
debt for a possible downgrade. The review was prompted by heightened
concerns that the radio broadcast sector will likely face significant revenue
and cash flow deterioration due to the high probability of further deterioration
in the U.S. economy and its impact on advertising revenue. On September 10,
2008, Moody’s downgraded our corporate family rating to B2 from B1 and our
$800.0 million secured credit facility ($500.0 million revolver, $300.0 million
term loan) to Ba3 from Ba2. In addition, Moody’s downgraded our 87/8% Senior
Subordinated Notes and 63/8% Senior
Subordinated Notes to Caa1 from B3. While noting that our rating outlook was
stable, the ratings downgrade reflected the Company’s operating
performance, weaker than previously expected credit metrics and limited
borrowing capacity under financial covenants. On February 26, 2008,
S&P placed its rating on the Company on credit watch with negative
implications. The credit watch was based on the Company’s narrow margin of
covenant compliance as of December 31, 2007 and uncertainty surrounding
compliance following impending step-downs in certain covenant
ratios.
Although
reductions in our bond ratings may not have an immediate impact on our cost of
debt or liquidity, they may impact our future cost of debt and liquidity.
Increased debt levels and/or decreased earnings could result in further
downgrades in our credit ratings, which, in turn, could impede our access to the
debt markets and/or raise our long-term debt borrowing rates. Our ability to use
debt to fund major new acquisitions or new business initiatives could also be
limited.

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/A - Organization and Summary
of Significant Accounting Policies. 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 Management’s Discussion and Analysis contained in our
Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2008, 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. Other than the approximately $49.0 million recorded
for impairment charges against radio broadcasting licenses during the three
month period ended March 31, 2009, there have been no material changes to our
accounting policies or estimates since we filed our Annual Report on
Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2008.
Stock-Based
Compensation
|
The
Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with
SFAS No. 123(R). Under the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R),
stock-based compensation cost is estimated at the grant date based on the
award’s fair value as calculated by the Black-Scholes (“BSM”) valuation
option-pricing model and is recognized as expense ratably over the requisite
service period. The BSM incorporates various highly subjective
assumptions including expected stock price volatility, for which historical data
is heavily relied upon, expected life of options granted, forfeiture rates and
interest rates. If any of the assumptions used in the BSM model change
significantly, stock-based compensation expense may differ materially in the
future from that previously recorded.
Goodwill and Radio Broadcasting
Licenses
|
We have
made several radio station acquisitions in the past for which a significant
portion of the purchase price was allocated to goodwill and radio broadcasting
licenses. Goodwill exists whenever the purchase price exceeds the fair value of
tangible and identifiable intangible net assets acquired in business
combinations. As of June 30, 2009, we had approximately $853.0 million in
goodwill and radio broadcasting licenses, which represents approximately 80.0%
of our total assets. Therefore, we believe estimating the value of goodwill and
radio broadcasting licenses is a critical accounting estimate because of the
significance of their values in relation to total assets. In accordance with
SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and
Other Intangible Assets,” for such assets owned as of October 1, we test
annually for impairment during each fourth quarter or when events or
circumstances suggest that impairment exists. Asset impairment exists when the
carrying value of these assets exceeds their respective fair value. When the
carrying value exceeds fair value, an impairment amount is charged to operations
for the excess.
Given the
prolonged economic downturn and continual revenue and profitability declines in
the radio broadcast industry, the Company performed an interim test for
impairment as of February 28, 2009, and recorded impairment charges of
approximately $49.0 million for radio broadcasting licenses for the three months
ended March 31, 2009. The triggering circumstances for our interim impairment
assessment were the continued deteriorating 2009 outlook for the radio industry
and its adverse impact on profits and cash flows, resulting lower terminal
values and our own lowered internal projections. During the three months
ended June 30, 2009, no new or additional impairment indicators existed, hence,
no further impairment testing was warranted. There was no impairment charge
recorded for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2008 and June 30,
2008, respectively. Impairment charges continue to be a trend experienced
by media companies in general, and are not unique to the Company.
When
estimating the fair values of radio broadcasting licenses and goodwill, we use
the income approach method, which involves a 10-year discounted cash flow model
that requires judgmental assumptions about projected revenue growth, future
operating margins, discount rates and terminal values. There are inherent
uncertainties related to these assumptions and our judgment in applying them to
the impairment analysis. While we believe we have made reasonable estimates and
assumptions to calculate the fair values, changes in certain events or
circumstances (including events and circumstances resulting from a more
prolonged or continued deterioration in the economy) could result in changes to
our estimated fair values, and may result in additional write-downs to the
carrying values of these assets in the future.
53
Impairment
of Intangible Assets Excluding Goodwill and Radio Broadcasting
Licenses
|
Intangible
assets, excluding goodwill and radio broadcasting licenses, are reviewed for
impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of an asset or group of assets may not be fully recoverable.
These events or changes in circumstances may include a significant deterioration
of operating results, changes in business plans, or changes in anticipated
future cash flows. If an impairment indicator is present, we will evaluate
recoverability by a comparison of the carrying amount of the assets to future
undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. Assets are
grouped at the lowest level for which there is identifiable cash flows that are
largely independent of the cash flows generated by other asset groups. If the
assets are impaired, the impairment is measured by the amount by which the
carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the assets determined by estimates of
discounted cash flows. The discount rate used in any estimate of discounted cash
flows would be the rate required for a similar investment of like risk. We
concluded no impairment indicators existed during the three and six month
periods ended March 31, 2009 and June 30, 2009, respectively, and accordingly,
no impairment recoverability assessment was warranted. However, any changes in
certain events or circumstances could result in changes to the estimated fair
values of these intangible assets and may result in future write-downs to the
carrying values.
Allowance
for Doubtful Accounts
We must
make estimates of the uncollectability of our accounts receivable. We
specifically review historical write-off activity by market, large customer
concentrations, customer credit worthiness and changes in our customer payment
terms when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. In
the past four years, including the quarter ended June 30, 2009, our historical
bad debt results have averaged approximately 5.3% of our outstanding trade
receivables and have been a reliable method to estimate future allowances. If
the financial condition of our customers or markets were to deteriorate,
adversely affecting their ability to make payments, additional allowances could
be required.
Revenue
Recognition
|
We
recognize revenue for broadcast advertising when the commercial is broadcast and
we report revenue net of agency and outside sales representative commissions in
accordance with SAB No. 104, Topic 13, “Revenue Recognition, Revised and
Updated.” When applicable, agency and outside sales
representative commissions are calculated based on a stated percentage applied
to gross billing. Generally, advertisers 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 us. We
recognize revenue for Giant Magazine, mainly advertising, subscriptions and
newsstand sales in the month in which a particular issue is available for
sale.
CCI, the
online social networking company acquired by the Company in April 2008,
recognizes its advertising revenue as impressions (the number of times
advertisements appear in viewed pages) are delivered, when “click through”
purchases or leads are reported, or ratably over the contract period, where
applicable.
Equity
Accounting
|
We
account for our investment in TV One under the equity method of accounting in
accordance with APB Opinion No. 18, “The Equity Method of Accounting
for Investments in Common Stock,” and other related interpretations. We
have recorded our investment at cost and have adjusted the carrying amount of
the investment to recognize the change in Radio One’s claim on the net assets of
TV One resulting from net income or losses of TV One as well as other capital
transactions of TV One using a hypothetical liquidation at book value approach.
We will review the realizability of the investment if conditions are present or
events occur to suggest that an impairment of the investment may exist. We have
determined that although TV One is a variable interest entity (as defined by
FIN No. 46(R), “Consolidation of Variable Interest
Entities”) the Company is not the primary beneficiary of TV One. (See
Note 5 - Investment in Affiliated
Company for further discussion.)
Contingencies
and Litigation
|
We
regularly evaluate our exposure relating to any contingencies or litigation and
record a liability when available information indicates that a liability is
probable and estimable. We also disclose significant matters that are reasonably
possible to result in a loss, or are probable but for which an estimate of the
liability is not currently available. To the extent actual contingencies and
litigation outcomes differ from amounts previously recorded, additional amounts
may need to be reflected.
54
Estimate
of Effective Tax Rates
|
We
estimate the provision for income taxes, income tax liabilities, deferred tax
assets and liabilities, and any valuation allowances in accordance with SFAS No.
109, “Accounting for Income
Taxes” and FIN No. 18, “Accounting for Income Taxes in Interim Periods.”
We estimate effective tax rates based on local tax laws and statutory rates,
apportionment factors, taxable income for our filing jurisdictions and
disallowable items, among other factors. Audits by the Internal Revenue Service
or state and local tax authorities could yield different interpretations from
our own, and differences between taxes recorded and taxes owed per our filed
returns could cause us to record additional taxes.
To
address the exposures of unrecognized tax positions, in January 2007, we adopted
FIN No. 48, “Accounting for
Uncertainty in Income Taxes - Interpretation of SFAS No. 109,” which
recognizes 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. As of June 30, 2009, we had approximately $5.0
million in
unrecognized tax benefits. Future outcomes of our tax positions may be more or
less than the currently recorded liability, which could result in recording
additional taxes, or reversing some portion of the liability, and recognizing a
tax benefit once it is determined the liability is either inadequate or no
longer necessary as potential issues get resolved, or as statutes of limitations
in various tax jurisdictions close.
Realizability
of Deferred Tax Balances
In
December 2007, except for DTAs in its historically profitable jurisdictions, and
DTAs that may be benefited by future reversing deferred tax liabilities
(“DTLs”), the Company recorded a full valuation allowance for all other DTAs,
mainly NOLs, as it was determined that more likely than not, the DTAs would not
be realized. The Company reached this determination based on its then cumulative
loss position and the uncertainty of future taxable income. Consistent with that
prior realizability assessment, the Company has recorded a full valuation
allowance for additional NOLs generated from the tax deductible amortization of
indefinite-lived assets, as well as DTAs created by impairment charges. For
remaining DTAs that were not fully reserved, we believe that these assets will
be realized within the carryforward period; however, if we do not generate the
projected levels of future taxable income in those specific jurisdictions, an
additional valuation allowance may need to be recorded in the
future.
Fair
Value Measurements
Pursuant
to SFAS No. 133, “Accounting
for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” the Company has
accounted for an award called for in the CEO’s employment agreement (the
“Employment Agreement”) as a derivative instrument. According to the Employment
Agreement, which was executed in April 2008, the CEO is eligible to receive an
award amount equal to 8% of any proceeds from distributions or other liquidity
events in excess of the return of the Company’s aggregate investment in TV One.
The Company’s obligation to pay the award will be triggered only after the
Company’s recovery of the aggregate amount of its capital contribution in TV One
and only upon actual receipt of distributions of cash or marketable securities
or proceeds from a liquidity event with respect to the Company’s membership
interest in TV One. The CEO was fully vested in the award upon execution of the
agreement, and the award lapses upon expiration of the Employment Agreement in
April 2011, or earlier, if the CEO voluntarily leaves the Company or is
terminated for cause.
The
Company uses a third party valuation firm to assist with determining the fair
value of the award. As of June 30, 2009, the Company reassessed the award and
concluded its fair value remained unchanged from the approximately $4.2 million
liability recorded at March 31, 2009. The fair value of the award as of December
31, 2008 was approximately $4.3 million. The fair valuation incorporated a
number of assumptions and estimates, including but not limited to TV One’s
future financial projections, probability factors and the likelihood of various
scenarios that would trigger payment of the award. As the Company will measure
changes in the fair value of this award at each reporting period as warranted by
certain circumstances, different estimates or assumptions may result in a change
to the fair value of the award amount previously recorded.
RECENT
ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards
CodificationTM and the Hierarchy of Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles: a replacement of FASB Statement
No. 162,” which became the source of authoritative non-SEC U.S. GAAP
for non-governmental entities. SFAS No. 168 is effective for financial
statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15,
2009. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 168 will have a
material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events.” SFAS No.
165 addresses accounting and disclosure requirements related to subsequent
events. It requires management to evaluate subsequent events through the date
the financial statements are either issued or available to be issued. Companies
are required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been
evaluated. SFAS No. 165 is effective for interim or annual financial periods
ending after June 15, 2009 and should be applied prospectively. Effective for
the quarter ended June 30, 2009, the Company adopted SFAS No. 165. The Company
has provided the required disclosures regarding subsequent events in
Note 14 – Subsequent
Events.
55
In
April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) No. SFAS 107-1
and Accounting Pronouncement Bulletin (“APB”) No. 28-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value
of Financial Instruments,” which amends SFAS No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of
Financial Instruments,” to require disclosures about fair value of
financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly traded
companies, as well as in annual financial statements. This FSP also amends
APB Opinion No. 28, “Interim Financial
Reporting,” to
require those disclosures in summarized financial information at interim
reporting periods. FSP No. SFAS 107-1 and APB No. 28-1 became
effective for the Company during the quarter ended June 30, 2009. The
additional disclosures required by FSP No. SFAS 107-1 and APB No. 28-1 are
included in Note 1 – Organization and Summary of
Significant Accounting Policies.
In
April 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. SFAS 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of
Intangible Assets,” which amends the guidance in SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets,” about estimating the useful lives of recognized intangible
assets, and requires additional disclosures related to renewing or extending the
terms of recognized intangible assets. FSP No. SFAS 142-3 became
effective as of January 1, 2009. The adoption of FSP
No. SFAS 142-3 did not have a material effect on the Company’s
consolidated financial statements.
In
November 2008, the FASB issued EITF Issue No. 08-6, “Equity Method Investment Accounting
Considerations.” EITF 08-6 discusses the accounting for contingent
consideration agreements of an equity method investment and the requirement for
the investor to recognize its share of any impairment charges recorded by the
investee. EITF 08-6 requires the investor to record share issuances by the
investee as if it has sold a portion of its investment with any resulting gain
or loss being reflected in earnings. EITF 08-6 was effective for the Company on
January 1, 2009. The adoption of EITF 08-6 did not have any impact on the
Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In March
2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities – an amendment of FASB Statement No.
133.” SFAS No. 161 requires disclosure of the fair value of
derivative instruments and their gains and losses in a tabular
format. It also provides for more information about an entity’s
liquidity by requiring disclosure of derivative features that are credit risk
related. Finally, it requires cross referencing within footnotes to
enable financial statement users to locate important information about
derivative instruments. Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted SFAS
No. 161. The Company’s adoption of SFAS No. 161 had no impact on its
financial condition or results of operations. (See Note 6 – Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities.)
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R, “Business
Combinations.” SFAS No. 141R replaces SFAS No. 141, and requires the
acquirer of a business to recognize and measure the identifiable assets
acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the
acquiree at fair value. SFAS No. 141R also requires transaction costs
related to the business combination to be expensed as incurred. In April
2009, the FASB issued FSP No. SFAS 141R-1, “Accounting for Assets Acquired and
Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from
Contingencies.” FSP No. 141R-1 amends and clarifies SFAS No. 141R to
address application issues associated with initial recognition and measurement,
subsequent measurement and accounting, and disclosure of assets and liabilities
arising from contingencies in a business combination. Both SFAS No. 141R and FSP
No. SFAS 141R-1 is effective for business combinations for which the acquisition
date is on or after the January 1, 2009. Effective January 1, 2009, the Company
adopted SFAS No. 141R and FSP No. SFAS 141R-1. The Company’s adoption
of SFAS No. 141R and FSP No. SFAS 141R-1 has had no effect on the Company’s
consolidated financial statements. The Company expects SFAS No. 141R and FSP No.
SFAS 141R-1 to have an impact on its accounting for future business
combinations, but the effect is dependent upon the acquisitions that are made in
the future.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements - an amendment of ARB No. 51.” This
statement amends ARB No. 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for
the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a
subsidiary. It clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a
subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be
reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. This
statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2008. Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted SFAS
No. 160. SFAS No. 160 changed the accounting and reporting
for minority interests, which is now characterized as noncontrolling interests
and classified as a component of equity. SFAS No. 160 required retroactive
adoption of the presentation and disclosure requirements for existing minority
interests, with all other requirements applied prospectively. Reflected in the
December 31, 2008 Form 10-K/A, minority interests characterized as
liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet was approximately $2.0 million.
This amount has been recharacterized as noncontrolling interests and classified
as a component of stockholders’ equity.
In
December 2007, the SEC issued SAB No. 110 that modified SAB
No. 107 regarding the use of a “simplified” method in developing an
estimate of expected term of “plain vanilla” share options in accordance with
SFAS No. 123R,
“Share-Based Payment.” Under SAB No. 107, the use of the
“simplified” method was not allowed beyond December 31, 2007. SAB
No. 110 allows, however, the use of the “simplified” method beyond
December 31, 2007 under certain circumstances. We currently use the
“simplified” method under SAB No. 107, and we expect to continue to use the
“simplified” method in future periods if the facts and circumstances
permit.

February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial
Assets and Financial Liabilities,” which permits companies to
choose to measure certain financial instruments and other items at fair value
that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. SFAS No. 159
is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Effective
January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 159, which provides
entities the option to measure many financial instruments and certain other
items at fair value. Entities that choose the fair value option will recognize
unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option was elected
in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The Company has currently chosen
not to elect the fair value option for any items that are not already required
to be measured at fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles.
In
September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, which provides guidance
for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. The standard also
responds to investors’ requests for more information about: (1) the extent to
which companies measure assets and liabilities at fair value; (2) the
information used to measure fair value; and (3) the effect that fair value
measurements have on earnings. SFAS No. 157 will apply whenever another
standard requires (or permits) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair
value. The standard does not expand the use of fair value to any new
circumstances. The Company adopted SFAS No. 157 effective January 1, 2008.
In February 2008, the FASB issued FSP on Statement 157, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157,”
("FSP No. SFAS 157-2"). FSP No. SFAS 157-2 delayed the
effective date of SFAS No. 157 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial
liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed on a recurring basis,
to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. Effective January
1, 2009, the Company adopted FSP No. SFAS 157-2. The adoption of FSP No. SFAS
157-2 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial
statements.

CAPITAL
AND COMMERCIAL COMMITMENTS
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. At that time, we committed to
make a cumulative cash investment in TV One of $74.0 million, of which
$60.3 million had been funded as of June 30, 2009. The initial commitment period
for funding the capital was extended to October 1, 2009, due in part to TV One’s
lower than anticipated capital needs during the initial commitment
period.
Long-term
debt
The total
amount available under our existing Credit Agreement with a syndicate of banks
is $800.0 million, consisting of a $500.0 million revolving facility
and a $300.0 million term loan facility. As of June 30, 2009, we had
approximately $372.0 million in debt outstanding under the Credit
Agreement. We also have outstanding $200.0 million 63/8% Senior
Subordinated Notes due 2013 and $101.5 million 87/8% Senior
Subordinated Notes due 2011. See “Liquidity and Capital
Resources.”
Lease
obligations
We have
non-cancelable operating leases for office space, studio space, broadcast towers
and transmitter facilities that expire over the next 20 years.
Operating
Contracts and Agreements
We have
other operating contracts and agreements including employment contracts, on-air
talent contracts, severance obligations, retention bonuses, consulting
agreements, equipment rental agreements, programming related agreements, and
other general operating agreements that expire over the next six
years.

Reflected
in the obligations above, as of June 30, 2009, we had two swap agreements
in place for a total notional amount of $50.0 million. The periods
remaining on the swap agreements range in duration from 11.5 to
35.5 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.
58
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
As of
June 30, 2009, we had three standby letters of credit totaling $610,000 in
connection with our annual insurance policy renewals. In addition, we had a
letter of credit of $295,000 in connection with a contract we inherited as part
of the acquisition of CCI.
RELATED
PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The
Company’s CEO and Chairperson own a music company called Music One, Inc. (“Music
One”). The Company sometimes engages in promoting the recorded music product of
Music One. Based on the cross-promotional value received by the Company, we
believe that the provision of such promotion is fair. For the three months and
six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, Radio One paid $1,000 and $28,000, and
$85,000 and $124,000, respectively, to or on behalf of Music One, primarily for
market talent event appearances, travel reimbursement and
sponsorships. For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009, the
Company provided no advertising services to Music One; however, for the same
periods in 2008, the Company provided $15,000 and $61,000, respectively, in
advertising services. As of June 30, 2009, Music One owed Radio One $70,000 for
office space and administrative services provided in 2008 and 2007.
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/A, for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2008. Our exposure related to market risk has not
changed materially since December 31, 2008.
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 the Chief Financial
Officer (“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) 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 SEC’s 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 three months ended June 30, 2009, 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
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
Company’s named officers and directors from the IPO Lawsuits without prejudice,
pursuant to an agreement tolling the statute of limitations with respect to
Radio One’s 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 One’s board of directors approved
in principle a tentative settlement with the plaintiffs. The proposed settlement
would have provided for the dismissal with prejudice of all claims against the
participating Issuers and their officers and directors in the IPO Cases and the
assignment to plaintiffs of certain potential claims that the Issuers may have
against their underwriters. In September 2003, in connection with the proposed
settlement, Radio One’s 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. In 2005, the court issued a decision certifying a class action for
settlement purposes and granting preliminary approval of the settlement. On
February 24, 2006, the Court dismissed litigation filed against certain
underwriters in connection with the claims to be assigned to the plaintiffs
under the settlement. On April 24, 2006, the Court held a Final Fairness
Hearing to determine whether to grant final approval of the settlement. On
December 5, 2006, the Second Circuit Court of Appeals vacated the district
court’s earlier decision certifying as class actions the six IPO Cases
designated as “focus cases.” Thereafter, the District Court ordered a stay of
all proceedings in all of the IPO Cases pending the outcome of plaintiffs’
petition to the Second Circuit for rehearing en banc and resolution of the class
certification issue. On April 6, 2007, the Second Circuit denied
plaintiffs’ rehearing petition, but clarified that the plaintiffs may seek to
certify a more limited class in the district court. Accordingly, the settlement
will not be finally approved.
Plaintiffs
filed amended complaints in the six “focus cases” on or about August 14,
2007. Radio One is not a defendant in the focus cases. In September 2007, Radio
One’s named officers and directors again extended the tolling agreement with
plaintiffs. On or about September 27, 2007, plaintiffs moved to certify the
classes alleged in the “focus cases” and to appoint class representatives and
class counsel in those cases. The focus cases issuers filed motions to dismiss
the claims against them in November 2007 and an opposition to plaintiffs’
motion for the class certification in December 2007. On March 16, 2008, the
court denied the motions to dismiss in the focus cases. In August
2008, the parties to the IPO Cases began mediation toward a global settlement of
the IPO Cases. In September 2008, Radio One’s board of directors approved
in principle participation in a tentative settlement with the plaintiffs.
On October 2, 2008, the plaintiffs withdrew their class
certification motion. In April 2009, a global settlement was reached in
the IPO Cases and submitted to the District Court for approval. On
June 9, 2009, the judge presiding over the matter granted preliminary approval
to the proposed settlement of the IPO Cases. A hearing on final approval
of the settlement has been scheduled for September 10, 2009.
Item 1A. Risk
Factors
In
addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully
consider the risk factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our
Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2008 (the “2008
Annual Report”), which could materially affect our business, financial condition
or future results. The risks described in our 2008 Annual Report, as updated by
our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, are not the only risks facing our Company.
Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us, or that we
currently deem to be immaterial, may also materially adversely affect our
business, financial condition and/or operating results. The risk factors set
forth below are in addition to those in the 2008 Annual
Report.
60
We
are currently not in compliance with NASDAQ rules for continued listing of our
Class A and Class D common shares.
Our
shares of Class A and Class D common stock are currently not in compliance with
NASDAQ rules for continued listing and may be at risk of being delisted.
On May 21, 2008, the Company received a letter (the “Notification”) from The
NASDAQ Stock Market notifying us that for the prior 30 consecutive trading days,
the Company’s Class A common shares (the “Class A Shares”) had not maintained a
minimum market value of publicly held shares (“MVPHS”) of $5.0 million as
required for continued inclusion by the NASDAQ Global Market Listing
Qualifications. The Company was provided 90 calendar days, or until
August 19, 2008, to regain compliance. On August 26, 2008, Radio One,
Inc. announced that it had received approval from the NASDAQ Stock Market to
transfer the listing of its Class A Shares from The NASDAQ Global Market to The
NASDAQ Capital Market. The transfer became effective at the opening of
business on August 27, 2008 and cured the MVPHS deficiency. Subsequently,
macroeconomic and extraordinary market conditions depressed the trading price of
both our Class A and Class D shares below the NASDAQ minimum bid price of $1.00
for 30 consecutive trading days. Thus, both our Class A and Class D shares
became at risk for delisting.
However,
on October 16, 2008, given the current extraordinary market conditions, NASDAQ
suspended both the minimum bid price and MVPHS requirements through January 16,
2009 (the “Temporary Suspension”). In that regard, on October 16, 2008,
NASDAQ filed an immediately effective rule change with the SEC such that
companies were not to be cited for any new concerns related to minimum bid price
or MVPHS deficiencies. Due to continued market weakness, NASDAQ
extended the Temporary Suspension through July 31, 2009, reinstating the minimum
bid price and MVPHS rules on August 3, 2009. As of the date of this
filing, our shares of Class A and Class D common stock remain non-compliant with
the NASDAQ minimum bid price of $1.00 per share. We have identified
certain actions we can take to cure the deficiencies, such as the implementation
of a reverse stock split if approved by our shareholders at our annual meeting
on September 17, 2009. However, even if the reverse stock split is
approved and implemented, there can be no assurance that we will meet the NASDAQ
minimum bid price and MVPHS requirements for shares of either our Class A or
Class D common stock. Our failure to meet such requirements may subject us
to delisting and could result in decreased liquidity for our Class A and Class D
common stock.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of
Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
During
the three months ended June 30, 2009, we made repurchases of our Class A
and Class D common stock pursuant to the $150.0 million stock
repurchase program adopted by our board of directors on March 20,
2008.
The
following table provides information on our repurchases during the three months

In
March 2008, the Company’s board of directors authorized a repurchase of
shares of the Company’s Class A and Class D common stock through December
31, 2009 of up to $150.0 million, the maximum amount allowable under the
Credit Agreement. The amount and timing of such repurchases will be based
on pricing, general economic and market conditions, and the restrictions
contained in the agreements governing the Company’s credit facilities and
subordinated debt and certain other factors. While $150.0 million is the
maximum amount allowable under the Credit Agreement, in 2005 under a prior
board authorization, the Company utilized approximately $78.0 million to
repurchase common stock leaving capacity of $72.0 million under the Credit
Agreement. During the period ended June 30, 2009, the Company
repurchased 12,374 shares of Class A common stock at an average price of
$0.88 and 6.4 million shares of Class D common stock at an average price
of $0.47. During the period ended June 30, 2008, the Company repurchased
187,369 shares of Class A common stock at an average price of $1.39 and
1.9 million shares of Class D common stock at an average price of $1.33.
For the year ended December 31, 2008 the Company repurchased 421,661
shares of Class A common stock at an average price of $1.32 and 20.0
million shares of Class D common stock at an average price of $0.58. As of
June 30, 2009, the Company had approximately $50.0 million in capacity
available under the 2008 share repurchase
program.
