ITEM 2.02.    Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
 
    On August 2, 2012, Radio One, Inc. issued a press release setting forth the results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2012.  A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1.

 
ITEM 4.02.    Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review.
 
    On August 2, 2012, management of Radio One, Inc. (“the Company”) and the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (“the Committee”) concluded that the Company’s 2011 financial statements and the related report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, Ernst & Young LLP, on the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2011 should no longer be relied upon.  This conclusion was reached because the Company concluded that its consolidated statements of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2011 and all interim periods within that year after the first quarter of 2011 and the three month period ended March 31, 2012 improperly classified cash payments for TV One content assets as investing rather than operating activities.  The classification errors had no effect on the reported changes in cash and cash equivalents in any period, and also had no effect on the consolidated balance sheet, the consolidated statement of operations, or the consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity for any period.
 
    The reclassification adjustments will decrease cash flows from operating activities and increase cash flows from investing activities by approximately $23.4 million in 2011.  The corresponding decrease in operating cash flows and increase in investing cash flows for the affected quarterly filing periods in 2011 is as follows: Q2 2011--approximately $2.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011; Q3 2011--approximately $12.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.  In addition, the reclassification adjustments will decrease cash flows from operating activities and increase cash flows from investing activities by approximately $10.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012.
 
    The Company will file as soon as possible an amended 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A that will contain a restated 2011 consolidated statement of cash flows as well as revised cash flow information for the affected interim periods in 2011.  In preparing its amended 2011 Annual Report, management also expects to report a material weakness in internal control related to this matter. The Company will also report the effects of the classification error on the consolidated statement of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2012 when it files its second quarter Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q on or prior to August 14, 2012.
 
    The authorized officers of the Company have discussed with Ernst & Young LLP, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, the matters disclosed in this Item 4.02.

RADIO ONE, INC. REPORTS SECOND QUARTER RESULTS


Washington, DC: - Radio One, Inc. (NASDAQ: ROIAK and ROIA) today reported its results for the quarter ended June 30, 2012.  Giving effect to the consolidation of TV One, net revenue was approximately $105.9 million, an increase of 9.1% from the same period in 2011.  Also giving effect to the consolidation of TV One, station operating income1 was approximately $41.4 million, an increase of 19.0% from the same period in 2011. The Company reported operating income of approximately $21.5 million compared to operating income of approximately $15.8 million for the same period in 2011. Net income was approximately $42.7 million or $0.85 per share compared to net income of $98.6 million or $1.94 per share, for the same period in 2011.  Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 included the impact of a non-cash pre-tax gain of approximately $146.9 million resulting from its increased ownership and controlling interest in TV One recorded during that period.

Alfred C. Liggins, III, Radio One’s CEO and President stated, “I was pleased with our second quarter core radio revenue growth of 6.5% year over year. While the timing of the One Love Gospel Cruise and other corporate revenues brought the headline radio revenue growth rate down to 2.7%, I believe we strongly outperformed the markets in which we operate. We expect this trend to continue into the third quarter, where we are currently pacing up high single digits, with political revenues likely to strengthen as we move closer to the Presidential election. TV One continued its growth trajectory with Quarterly EBITDA of $11.7 million, up 32.8% from the same period last year. The dividends received from TV One remain an important source of cash-flow for Radio One, and we intend to manage this aspect of the business prudently, with a view towards managing our bank covenant step-downs in 2013. Our Internet division had a somewhat weaker than expected second quarter, with a lack of tent-pole events around which to build revenue. I expect their progress towards profitability to resume in the third quarter.”

Net revenue increased to approximately $105.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2012, from approximately $97.1 million for the same period in 2011, an increase of 9.1%. We began to consolidate the results of TV One during the second quarter of 2011 and recognized approximately $32.3 million of revenue from our new cable television segment during the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $25.2 million for the period April 15, 2011 through June 30, 2011.  Net revenues from our radio segment for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 increased 2.7% from the same period in 2011. Excluding the timing difference for the Company’s annual Gospel Cruise held in March 2012 versus April 2011, our core radio revenue, including syndicated programming, increased 6.5% for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011. Our Atlanta, Baltimore, Dallas, Detroit, Indianapolis, Raleigh and Washington D.C. clusters posted the most significant quarterly growth, while our Columbus, Philadelphia and St. Louis markets posted the most significant declines. Reach Media’s net revenues decreased 12.6% in the second quarter 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 partially due to changes to certain of Reach Media’s affiliate agreements that became effective on January 1, 2012.  Net revenues for our internet business increased 2.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011.
 
Operating expenses, excluding depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation and impairment of long-lived assets, increased to approximately $74.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2012, up 6.4% from the approximately $69.8 million incurred for the comparable quarter in 2011. Approximately $2.3 million of the increase is a result of additional programming and technical expenses, partially related to the TV One consolidation. For our cable television segment, these operating expenses include expenses associated with the technical, programming, production, and content management. The additional increase of our programming and technical expenses is due to higher payroll and talent costs in our radio broadcasting and Reach Media segments. In addition, there were increases in corporate expenses due to higher professional fees, research and bad debt expense at our cable television segment.

Stock-based compensation decreased to $46,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2012, compared to approximately $1.2 million for the same period in 2011. Vesting associated with the Company’s long-term incentive plan whereby officers and certain key employees were granted a total of 3,250,000 shares of restricted stock in January of 2010 was fully completed as of December 31, 2011. Stock-based compensation requires measurement of compensation costs 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.

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased to approximately $9.7 million compared to approximately $10.2 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, a decrease of 4.9%. The decrease was due to the completion of amortization for certain intangible assets and the completion of useful lives for certain assets.

Interest expense remained flat at approximately $22.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011. The Company made cash interest payments of approximately $15.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2012. Through May 15, 2012, interest on the Company’s 12½%/15% Senior Subordinated Notes was payable at our election partially in cash and partially through the issuance of additional 12½%/15% Senior Subordinated Notes (a “PIK Election”) on a quarterly basis.  The PIK Election expired on May 15, 2012 and interest accruing from and after May 15, 2012 accrues at a rate of 12½% and is payable in cash.

The gain on investment in affiliated company of approximately $146.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 was due to acquiring the controlling interest in and the accounting impact of consolidating TV One results as of April 14, 2011.  The gain was computed as the difference between the book value and the fair value of our investment in TV One at the time we obtained control of TV One.

Other expense of $610,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 compared to other expense of $47,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2011. Other expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 was primarily due to the disposal of assets associated with the Company’s corporate office move.

There was no equity in income of affiliated company for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 compared to $208,000 for the same period in 2011. Equity in income of affiliated company reflected our estimated equity in the net income of TV One. As a result of the consolidation of TV One during the second quarter of 2011, there was no equity in income of affiliated company for the three months ended June 30, 2012. Previously, the Company’s share of the net income was driven by TV One’s capital structure and the Company’s percentage ownership of the equity securities of TV One.

The benefit from income taxes for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 was approximately $48.5 million compared to a provision for income taxes of approximately $38.6 million for the comparable period in 2011. The decrease is primarily attributable to adjusting the year-to-date income tax provision based on the actual effective tax rate as of June 30, 2012.  The provision for income taxes of approximately $38.6 million for the same period in 2011 is attributable to the increase in the deferred tax liability for indefinite-lived intangibles. The Company paid $287,000 in taxes for the quarter ended June 30, 2012.

Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax, includes the results of operations for our sold radio stations (or stations made the subject of a local marketing agreement) and Giant Magazine, which ceased publication in December 2009. Income from discontinued operations, net of tax, was $7,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2012, compared to a loss from discontinued operations, net of tax, of $45,000 for the same period in 2011. The activity for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 resulted primarily from our remaining station in our Boston market entering into an LMA. The income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax, includes no tax provision for either of the three month periods ended June 30, 2012 or 2011.

The increase in noncontrolling interests in income of subsidiaries is due primarily to the impact of consolidating TV One’s operating results for a full quarter during the three months ended June 30, 2012.  This amount is partially offset by a net loss generated by Reach Media for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to net income for the same period in 2011.

Other pertinent financial information includes capital expenditures of approximately $3.8 million and $1.9 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  Approximately $1.4 million of capital expenditures for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 relates to the Company’s corporate office move to Silver Spring, MD. The Company received dividends from TV One in the amount of approximately $1.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2012. As of June 30, 2012, the Company had total debt (net of cash balances) of approximately $777.2 million. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents by segment are as follows:  radio and internet approximately $22.0 million, Reach Media approximately $4.1 million and cable television approximately $16.7 million. In addition to cash and cash equivalents, the cable television segment also has short-term investments of $232,000 and long-term investments of approximately $2.9 million.

Other Matters

The Company has determined, and Ernst & Young LLP, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm agrees, that the Company’s previously filed consolidated statement of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2011 and interim consolidated statements of cash flows within that year and the first quarter of 2012 require restatement as a result of a classification error.  Those statements of cash flows improperly classified payments for content assets as investing activities rather than operating activities. The classification errors had no impact on the net increase in cash and cash equivalents, cash balance, the consolidated balance sheet, the consolidated statement of operations or the consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity in any of the affected periods.
 
The adjustment to the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2011 will reclassify approximately $23.4 million of payments for content assets from investing activities to operating activities. Accordingly, net cash provided by operating activities will decrease by approximately $23.4 million and net cash provided by investing activities will increase by approximately $23.4 million. 
 
The authorized officers of the Company have discussed with Ernst & Young LLP the matters that will be disclosed in Current Report on Form 8-K to be filed with the SEC no later than August 3, 2012.
 
The Company also intends to file an amendment on Form 10-K/A to its 2011 Form 10-K to amend its financial statements therein to reflect the aforementioned reclassifications. The Company will also report reclassifications related to this matter for each interim period in 2011 in the revised notes to the 2011 consolidated financial statements when filed on Form 10-K/A, and will report the effects on the consolidated statement of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2012 when it files its second quarter 10-Q in the coming weeks.

Notes:

1           “Station operating income” consists of net loss before depreciation and amortization, corporate expenses, stock-based compensation, equity in income of affiliated company, income taxes, noncontrolling interest in income (loss) of subsidiaries, interest expense, impairment of long-lived assets, other (income) expense, loss (gain) on retirement of debt, (income) loss from discontinued operations, net of tax, interest income and gain on purchase of affiliated company. Station operating income is not a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles. Nevertheless station operating income is a significant basis used by our management to measure the operating performance of our stations within the various markets because station operating income provides helpful information about our results of operations apart from expenses associated with our fixed assets and long-lived intangible assets, income taxes, investments, debt financings and retirements, overhead, stock-based compensation, impairment charges, and asset sales. Our measure of station operating income may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies as our definition includes the results of all four segments (radio broadcasting, Reach Media, internet and cable television). Station operating income does not purport to represent operating income or cash flow from operating activities, as those terms are defined under generally accepted accounting principles, and should not be considered as an alternative to those measurements as an indicator of our performance. A reconciliation of net income (loss) to station operating income has been provided in this release.

4           “Adjusted EBITDA” consists of net loss plus (1) depreciation, amortization, income taxes, interest expense, noncontrolling interest in income of subsidiaries, impairment of long-lived assets, stock-based compensation, loss on retirement of debt, loss from discontinued operations, net of tax, less (2) equity in income of affiliated company, other income, interest income, gain on retirement of debt and gain on purchase of affiliated company. Net income before interest income, interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization is commonly referred to in our business as “EBITDA.” Adjusted EBITDA and EBITDA are not measures of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles. We believe Adjusted EBITDA is often a useful measure of a company’s operating performance and is a significant basis used by our management to measure the operating performance of our business because Adjusted EBITDA excludes charges for depreciation, amortization and interest expense that have resulted from our acquisitions and debt financing, our taxes, impairment charges, as well as our equity in (income) loss of our affiliated company, gain on retirements of debt, and any discontinued operations. Accordingly, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information about the operating performance of our business, apart from the expenses associated with our fixed assets and long-lived intangible assets, capital structure or the results of our affiliated company. Adjusted EBITDA is frequently used as one of the bases for comparing businesses in our industry, although our measure of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Adjusted EBITDA and EBITDA do not purport to represent operating income or cash flow from operating activities, as those terms are defined under generally accepted accounting principles, and should not be considered as alternatives to those measurements as an indicator of our performance. A reconciliation of net income (loss) to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA has been provided in this release.
