NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Organization and Business
Radio One, Inc. (a Delaware corporation referred to as Radio One) and subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the Company) were organized to acquire, operate and maintain radio broadcasting stations. The Company owns and/or operates radio stations in 22 markets throughout the United States. The Company also provides programming services to XM Satellite Radio Inc.
The Company has made and may continue to make significant acquisitions of radio stations, which may require it to incur additional debt. The Companys operating results are significantly affected by its share of the audience in markets where it owns and/or operates stations.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Radio One, Inc. and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Interim Financial Statements
The interim consolidated financial statements included herein for Radio One and subsidiaries have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In managements opinion, the interim financial data presented herein include all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.
Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year. It is suggested that these consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the Companys December 31, 2002 financial statements and notes thereto included in the Companys annual report on Form 10-K.
In June 2001, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 142 (SFAS 142), Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. This pronouncement requires a non-amortization approach to account for purchased goodwill and certain other intangible assets. Under a non-amortization approach, goodwill and certain intangibles will not be amortized into results of operations but, instead, would be reviewed for impairment and written down and charged to results of operations only in the periods in which the recorded value of goodwill and certain intangibles is more than their fair value. Upon adopting the transitional rules of SFAS No. 142, the Company recorded an impairment charge of approximately $23.2 million, net of an income tax benefit of $14.5 million in the first quarter of 2002, as the carrying value of certain of the Companys FCC licenses exceeded the appraised fair value. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, the Company reflected this charge as a cumulative effect of an accounting change, effective January 1, 2002, in its statement of operations.
The Company adopted the final provision of SFAS No. 142 in the fourth quarter of 2002 by reviewing the fair value of its reporting units and comparing that fair value to the net book value of the reporting unit. To the extent a reporting units carrying amount exceeded its fair value, an indication would exists that the reporting units goodwill was impaired, and the Company would then be required to perform the second step of the transitional impairment test. In the second step, the Company compared the implied fair value of the reporting units goodwill, determined by allocating the reporting units fair value to all of its assets and liabilities in a manner similar to a purchase price allocation in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Board Standard No. 141 (SFAS No. 141), Business Combinations, to its carrying amount, both of which would be measured as of the date of adoption. Based on this analysis, the Company determined that it had an impairment of goodwill (as defined in SFAS No. 142) in its Augusta, Georgia market. The Company calculated the amount of the impairment and recorded an impairment charge of approximately $6.6 million, net of an income tax benefit of $496,000 during the fourth quarter of 2002. As the provisions of SFAS No. 142 related to the impairment of goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets are effective as of January 1, 2002, the financial information for the quarter ended March 31, 2002, which preceded the period in which the transitional goodwill impairment loss was measured, has been restated to reflect the accounting change in that quarter.
In January 2003, FASB issued Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 46 (FIN 46), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51. This interpretation of ARB No. 51, Consolidated Financial Statements, requires certain variable interest entities to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary of the entity if the equity investors in the entity do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. FIN 46 is effective immediately for all new variable interest entities created or acquired after January 31, 2003. For variable interest entities created or acquired prior to February 1, 2003, the provisions of FIN 46 must be applied for the first interim or annual period beginning after June 15, 2003. The adoption of FIN 46 did not have a material impact on the Companys results of operations or financial position.
9
The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation plans as permitted by Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123 (SFAS No. 123), Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, which allows the Company to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (APB No. 25), Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees and recognize no compensation cost for options granted to employees at fair market value. The Company has computed, for pro forma disclosure purposes, the value of all compensatory options granted during 2002 and 2003, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Options were assumed to be exercised upon vesting for the purpose of this valuation. Adjustments were also made for options assumed forfeited prior to vesting. Had compensation costs for compensatory options been determined consistent with SFAS No. 123, the Companys pro forma net (loss) income and earnings per share information reflected on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations would have been adjusted to the following as adjusted amounts:

WRNB-FM Dayton Acquisition
In March 2003, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire the outstanding stock of Hawes-Saunders Broadcast Properties, Inc., owner and operator of WRNB-FM (formerly WROU-FM) licensed to West Carrollton, Ohio, for approximately $9.5 million in cash. WRNB-FM had been a primary competitor of one of the Companys other stations in the Dayton market. The Company began operating the station under a local marketing agreement in March 2003. This acquisition increases the number of stations that it owns and/or operates in the Dayton market to five. The Company anticipates completing this acquisition during the second quarter of 2003.
Cable Television Joint Venture
In January 2003, the Company signed a non-binding term sheet with Comcast Corporation providing for a joint venture to launch a cable television network featuring entertainment, news, opinion and sports-related programming targeted primarily towards African-American viewers. The Company expects to make a cash investment of approximately $70.0 million, and to provide advertising and management services to the network.

CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Company conducts a portion of its business through its subsidiaries. All of the Companys subsidiaries (Subsidiary Guarantors) have fully and unconditionally guaranteed the Companys 8-7/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2011.
Set forth below are consolidating financial statements for the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors as of March 31, 2003 and 2002, and for the three month periods then ended. The equity method of accounting has been used by the Company to report its investments in subsidiaries. Separate financial statements for the Subsidiary Guarantors are not presented based on managements determination that they do not provide additional information that is material to investors.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following information should be read in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in this quarterly report and the audited financial statements and Managements Discussion and Analysis contained in Radio Ones Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002. Unless otherwise noted, the terms Radio One, we, and us refer to Radio One, Inc. and its subsidiaries.
General
Our net broadcast revenue is derived primarily from local and national advertisers and, to a much lesser extent, tower rental income, ticket and other revenue related to special events sponsored throughout the year. Our net broadcast revenue is affected primarily by the advertising rates our radio stations are able to charge as well as the overall demand for radio advertising time in a market.
Advertising rates are based primarily on:
Our significant broadcast expenses are (i) employee salaries and commissions, (ii) programming expenses, (iii) advertising and promotion expenses, (iv) rental of premises for studios, (v) rental of transmission tower space and (vi) music license royalty fees. We strive to control these expenses by centralizing certain functions such as finance, accounting, legal, human resources and management information systems and the overall programming management function. We also use our multiple stations, market presence and purchasing power to negotiate favorable rates with certain vendors and national representative selling agencies.
We generally incur advertising and promotional expenses to increase our audiences. However, because Arbitron reports ratings on a quarterly basis, any changed ratings and the corresponding effect on advertising revenues tends to lag behind the incurrence of advertising and promotional expenditures.
We calculate same station growth over a particular period by comparing performance of stations owned and/or operated under a local marketing agreement during the current period with the performance of the same stations for the corresponding period in the prior year. However, no station will be included in such a comparison unless it has been owned and/or operated under a local marketing agreement for at least one month of every quarter included in each of the current and corresponding prior-year periods.
The performance of a radio broadcasting company is customarily measured by its ability to generate EBITDA. EBITDA is not a measure of performance or liquidity calculated in accordance with GAAP; however, we believe that this measure is useful to an investor in evaluating us because this measure is widely used in the broadcast industry as a measure of a radio broadcasting companys performance. Nevertheless, EBITDA should not be considered in isolation from nor as a substitute for operating income, net income, cash flow, or other consolidated income or cash flow statement data computed in accordance with GAAP, nor as a measure of our profitability or liquidity. Despite its limitation, EBITDA is widely used in the broadcasting industry to measure a companys operating performance without regard to items such as depreciation and amortization, which can vary depending upon accounting methods and the book value of assets, particularly in the case of acquisitions. By eliminating such effects, EBITDA provides a meaningful measure of overall company performance after taking into account corporate operating expenses related to
the employment of the senior management team and other overhead costs associated with running a large, publicly-traded broadcasting company.

Net broadcast revenue increased to approximately $63.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 from approximately $58.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2002 or 9%. This increase was the result of net broadcast revenue growth in most of our markets, as we benefited from historical ratings increases and overall industry growth.
Operating expenses excluding depreciation, amortization and non-cash compensation increased to approximately $37.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 from approximately $35.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2002 or 7%. This increase in expenses was related to (1) increased variable expenses associated with increased revenue, (2) higher programming expenses in certain markets with new radio station formats, such as our two relatively young stations in Atlanta, (3) higher programming and promotional expenses for the syndication of certain of our morning radio shows and (4) higher corporate expenses due to our rapid expansion and the escalating costs associated with operating a national, publicly-traded company, including costs associated with complying with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
Operating income increased to approximately $20.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 from approximately $18.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2002 or 13%. This increase in operating income was primarily attributable to higher revenue offset by higher operating expenses and higher corporate expenses as described above.
Interest expense decreased to approximately $10.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 from approximately $16.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2002 or 38%. This decrease related primarily from our having reduced outstanding bank debt using proceeds from our April 2002 equity offering, as well as lower interest rates on that bank debt as a result of declining leverage and lower market interest rates over the past 12 months.
Other income (almost exclusively interest income) increased to approximately $0.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 compared to approximately $0.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2002 or 40%. This increase was primarily due to higher cash balances in 2003 than in 2002.
25
Income before provision for income taxes and cumulative effect of an accounting change increased to approximately $11.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 compared to income before provision for income taxes and cumulative effect of an accounting change of approximately $2.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2002 or 429%. This increase was due primarily to higher operating income and lower interest expense as described above.
Income before cumulative effect of accounting change increased to approximately $6.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 compared to income before cumulative effect of an accounting change of approximately $1.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2002 or 431%. This increase was due to higher income before provision for income taxes and cumulative effect of an accounting change compared to the previous years income, partially offset by a higher provision for income taxes in this years quarter versus last years quarter.
Cumulative effect of accounting change was approximately $29.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2002. This charge, net of income tax benefit of approximately $15.0 million, related to an impairment charge associated with the adoption of SFAS No. 142. Based on an analysis completed in accordance with SFAS No. 142, we calculated impairment on the carrying value of certain of our FCC broadcast licenses and goodwill amounts. See Recent Accounting Pronouncements below.
Net income increased to approximately $6.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 compared to a net loss of approximately $28.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2002. This increase was due to higher income before provision for income taxes and cumulative effect of an accounting change, as well as the effect of the accounting change in the first quarter of 2002, which reduced net income by approximately $29.8 million.
Other Data
EBITDA increased to approximately $25.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 from approximately $23.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2002 or 12%. This increase was attributable primarily to the increase in net broadcast revenue partially offset by higher operating expenses and higher corporate expenses associated with our overall growth as described above.
26
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our primary source of liquidity is cash provided by operations and, to the extent necessary, commitments available under our bank credit facility and other debt or equity financing. We have a bank credit facility under which we have $337.0 million outstanding in term loans and may borrow up to $250.0 million on a revolving basis, and from which we have historically drawn down funds as capital was required, primarily for acquisitions. As of March 31, 2003, we were able to borrow up to $250.0 million, taking into account the covenant restrictions in effect on that date. In 2003, a minimum principal payment in the amount of $52.5 million is due in equal quarterly installments of approximately $13.1 million. We made our initial payment during the first quarter.
The credit facility requires that we comply with certain financial covenants limiting our ability to incur additional debt. Such terms also place restrictions on us with respect to the sale of assets, liens, investments, dividends, debt repayments, capital expenditures, transactions with affiliates, consolidation and mergers, and the issuance of equity interests, among other things. The credit facility also requires compliance with financial tests based on financial position and results of operations, including a leverage ratio, an interest coverage ratio and a fixed charge coverage ratio, all of which could effectively limit our ability to borrow under the credit facility or to otherwise raise funds in the debt markets.
Both the revolving commitment and term loan borrowings under our credit facility bear interest, at our option, at a rate equal to either LIBOR plus a spread that ranges from .625% to 2.000% or on the prime rate plus a spread of up to 1%, depending on our leverage ratio. Under the bank credit facility, we may be required from time to time to protect ourselves from interest rate fluctuations using interest rate hedge agreements. As a result, we have entered into various fixed rate swap agreements designed to mitigate our exposure to higher floating interest rates. These swap agreements require that we pay a fixed rate of interest on the notional amount to a bank and that bank pay to us a variable rate equal to three-month LIBOR. We currently have swap agreements in place for a total notional amount of $225.0 million. The swap agreements range in duration from 20 to 46 months.
Our credit exposure under these swap agreements is limited to the cost of replacing an agreement in the event of non-performance by our counter-party; however, we do not anticipate non-performance. All of the swap agreements are tied to the three-month LIBOR interest rate, which may fluctuate significantly on a daily basis. The valuation of each of these swap agreements is affected by the change in the three-month LIBOR rates and the remaining term of the agreement. Any increase in the three-month LIBOR rate results in a more favorable valuation, while a decrease in the three-month LIBOR rate results in a less favorable valuation. The following table summarizes the interest rates in effect with respect to certain of our debt as of March 31, 2003.

We have used, and may continue to use, a significant portion of our capital resources to consummate acquisitions. These acquisitions have been and may continue to be funded from (i) our credit facility (ii) the proceeds of the historical offerings of our common stock, (iii) the proceeds of future equity or debt offerings, and (iv) internally generated cash flow.
The following table provides a comparison of our statements of cash flows for the quarter ended March 31, 2002 and 2003.
Net cash used in investing activities
Net cash used in financing activities
Net cash flows from operating activities were approximately $21.4 million and $1.4 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The increase for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 was primarily due to (i) an increase in net broadcast revenue, net of an increase in operating expenses, (ii) a decrease in outstanding trade receivables due to improved collection efforts, somewhat offset by an increase in other accrued expenses, and, to a lesser extent, (iii) changes in other working capital components.
Net cash flows used in investing activities were approximately $5.5 million and $2.4 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. During the quarter ended March 31, 2003, we completed the acquisition of WBLO-FM in the Louisville market for approximately $2.0 million. There were no radio station acquisitions or dispositions during the quarter ended March 31, 2002. Capital expenditures were approximately $3.2 million and $2.0 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
28
Net cash flows used in financing activities were approximately $18.5 million and $4.9 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The change was primarily a result of the repayment of $13.1 million of principal under our bank credit facility during the quarter ended March 31, 2003 and the absence of debt repayment related to the credit facility during the quarter ended March 31, 2002.
As a result of the aforementioned, cash and cash equivalents decreased by $2.6 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2003 compared to a decrease of approximately $6.0 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2002. Our balance of cash and cash equivalents was approximately $86.1 million as of December 31, 2002. Our balance of cash and cash equivalents was approximately $83.5 million as of March 31, 2003.
In addition to debt service and quarterly dividend payments of approximately $5.0 million on our 6.5% Convertible Preferred Securities, our principal liquidity requirements are working capital and general corporate purposes, including capital expenditures, and, if appropriate opportunities arise, acquisitions of additional radio stations and/or investments in other media related opportunities. We estimate that for all of 2003, capital expenditures will total approximately $10.5 to $11.5 million.
We believe that our current cash and cash investment balances, as well as anticipated cash flows generated from operations, will be sufficient to meet our working capital, capital expenditure and debt service requirements through at least the next 12 months.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 2001, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 142 (SFAS No. 142), Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. This pronouncement requires a non-amortization approach to account for purchased goodwill and certain other intangible assets. Under a non-amortization approach, goodwill and certain intangibles will not be amortized into results of operations but, instead, would be reviewed for impairment and written down and charged to results of operations only in the periods in which the recorded value of goodwill and certain intangibles is more than their fair value. Upon adopting the transitional rules of SFAS No. 142, we recorded an impairment charge of approximately $23.2 million, net of an income tax benefit of $14.5 million in the first quarter of 2002, as the carrying value of certain of our FCC licenses exceeded the appraised fair value. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, we reflected this charge as a cumulative effect of an accounting change, effective January 1, 2002, in our statement of operations.
We adopted the final provision of SFAS No. 142 in the fourth quarter of 2002 by reviewing the fair value of our reporting units and comparing that fair value to the net book value of the reporting unit. To the extent a reporting units carrying amount exceeded its fair value, an indication would exists that the reporting units goodwill was impaired, and we would then be required to perform the second step of the transitional impairment test. In the second step, we compared the implied fair value of the reporting units goodwill, determined by allocating the reporting units fair value to all of its assets and liabilities in a manner similar to a purchase price allocation in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Board Standard No. 141 (SFAS No. 141), Business Combinations, to its carrying amount, both of which would be measured as of the date of adoption. Based on this analysis, we determined that we had an impairment of goodwill (as defined in SFAS No. 142) in our Augusta, Georgia market. We calculated the amount of the impairment and recorded an impairment charge of approximately $6.6 million, net of an income tax benefit of $496,000 during the fourth quarter of 2002. As the provisions of SFAS No. 142 related to the impairment of goodwill and other indefinite life intangible assets are effective as of January 1, 2002, the financial information for the quarter ended March 31, 2002, which preceded the period in which the transitional goodwill impairment loss was measured, has been restated to reflect the accounting change in that quarter.
29
In January 2003, FASB issued Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 46 (FIN 46), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51. This interpretation of ARB No. 51, Consolidated Financial Statements, requires certain variable interest entities to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary of the entity if the equity investors in the entity do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. FIN 46 is effective immediately for all new variable interest entities created or acquired after January 31, 2003. For variable interest entities created or acquired prior to February 1, 2003, the provisions of FIN 46 must be applied for the first interim or annual period beginning after June 15, 2003. The adoption of FIN 46 did not have a material impact on our results of operations or financial position.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
In November 2001, Radio One and certain of its officers and directors were named as defendants in a class action shareholder complaint filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. Similar complaints were filed in the same court against hundreds of other public companies that conducted initial public offerings of their common stock in the late 1990s (the Issuers). Those cases are now consolidated under the caption In re Initial Public Offering Securities Litigation, Case No. 91 MC 92. In the amended complaint against Radio One, the plaintiffs allege that Radio One, certain of its officers and directors, and the underwriters of certain of its public offerings violated Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933 by failing to disclose in its registration statements material facts regarding the compensation to be received by, and the stock allocation practices of, the underwriters. The complaint also contains a claim for violation of section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 based on allegations that this omission constituted a deceit on investors. The plaintiffs seek unspecified monetary damages and other relief.
In October 2002, the parties agreed to toll the statute of limitations with respect to Radio Ones officers and directors until September 30, 2003, and on the basis of this agreement, the officers and directors were dismissed from the lawsuit without prejudice. In February 2003, the Court issued a decision denying the motion to dismiss the Section 11 claims against Radio One and almost all of the Issuers, and denying the motion to dismiss the Section 10(b) claims against Radio One and many of the Issuers. Radio One believes that these claims are without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself. Radio One also maintains directors and officers liability insurance that it believes is applicable to this litigation, and Radio One believes that it may be entitled to indemnification by the IPO underwriters in the event of an adverse result.
We are involved from time to time in various routine legal and administrative proceedings and threatened legal and administrative proceedings incidental to the ordinary course of our business. We believe the resolution of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
