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:
 
 	•	economic sluggishness and volatility, credit and equity market unpredictability, high unemployment and continued fluctuations in the U.S. and other world economies may have on our business and financial condition and the business and financial conditions of our advertisers;	
 
 	•	our high degree of leverage and potential inability to refinance certain portions of our debt at favorable interest rates or upon other favorable terms or finance other strategic transactions given fluctuations in market conditions;	
 
 	•	fluctuations in the U.S. economy and the local economies of the markets in which we operate 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 technologies and methodologies;	
 
 	•	regulation by the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) 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 and content acquisitions costs;	
 
 	•	financial losses that may be incurred due to impairment charges against our broadcasting licenses, goodwill and other intangible assets, particularly in light of the current economic environment;	
 
 	•	increased competition from new media distribution platforms and technologies;	
 
 	•	the impact of our acquisitions, dispositions and similar transactions as well as consolidation in industries in which we operate and our advertisers operate; and	
 
 	•	other factors mentioned in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) including the factors discussed in detail in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the year ended December 31, 2013.	
 
You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which reflect our views 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.

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 an urban-oriented, multi-media company that primarily targets African-American and urban consumers. Our core business is our radio broadcasting franchise that is the largest radio broadcasting operation that primarily targets African-American and urban listeners. We currently own and/or operate 54 broadcast stations located in 16 urban markets in the United States.  While our primary source of revenue is the sale of local and national advertising for broadcast on our radio stations, our strategy is to operate the premier multi-media entertainment and information content provider targeting African-American and urban consumers. Thus, we have diversified our revenue streams by making acquisitions and investments in other complementary media properties. Our other media interests include our approximately 51.9% controlling ownership interest in TV One, LLC (“TV One”), an African-American targeted cable television network that we own together with an affiliate of Comcast Corporation; our 80.0% controlling ownership interest in Reach Media, Inc. (“Reach Media”), which operates the Tom Joyner Morning Show, the Rickey Smiley Morning Show, the Yolanda Adams Morning Show, the Russ Parr Morning Show and the DL Hughley Show; and our ownership of Interactive One, LLC (“Interactive One”), an online platform serving the African-American community through social content, news, information, and entertainment websites, including News One, UrbanDaily and HelloBeautiful and online social networking websites, including BlackPlanet and MiGente.  Through our national multi-media presence, we provide advertisers with a unique and powerful delivery mechanism to the African-American and urban audiences. Recently, the Company has executed a letter of intent with MGM to invest in MGM’s development of a world-class casino property, MGM National Harbor, located in Prince George’s County, Maryland. This investment further diversifies our platform in the entertainment industry while still focusing on our core demographic.
   
Beginning November 1, 2012, our Columbus, Ohio radio station, WJKR-FM (The Jack, 98.9 FM) was made the subject of a local marketing agreement (“LMA”), and on February 15, 2013, the Company sold that station’s assets.  The results from operations of this station for the three months ended March 31, 2013, have been reclassified as discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
 
As of June 2011, our remaining Boston radio station was made the subject of a time brokerage agreement (“TBA”) whereby we have made available, for a fee, air time on this station to another party. In December 2013, we renegotiated the terms of the TBA, which now expires December 1, 2016, at which time the station will be conveyed. As a result, that station’s radio broadcasting license has been classified as a long-term other asset as of March 31, 2014, and December 31, 2013, and is being amortized through the anticipated conveyance date.
  
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 four reportable segments: (i) Radio Broadcasting; (ii) Reach Media; (iii) Internet; and (iv) Cable Television. (See Note 8 -  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 (“GAAP”) 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 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

(c)  Financial Instruments
 
Financial instruments as of March 31, 2014, and December 31, 2013, consisted of cash and cash equivalents, investments, trade accounts receivable, accounts payable, certain accrued expenses, long-term debt and redeemable noncontrolling interests. The carrying amounts approximated fair value for each of these financial instruments as of March 31, 2014, and December 31, 2013, except for the Company’s outstanding senior subordinated notes. The 12 1 / 2 %/15% Senior Subordinated Notes that the Company repurchased or otherwise redeemed in March 2014 had a carrying value of approximately $327.0 million and a fair value of approximately $328.7 million as of December 31, 2013. Our new 9.25% Senior Subordinated Notes which are due in February 2020 (the “2020 Notes”) had a carrying value of approximately $335.0 million and fair value of approximately $355.9 million as of March 31, 2014. The fair values of the 2020 Notes, classified as Level 2 instruments, were determined based on the trading values of these instruments in an inactive market as of the reporting date. The Company’s 10% Senior Secured TV One Notes due March 2016 are classified as Level 3 since they are not market traded financial instruments.
 
(d)  Revenue Recognition
 
Within our radio broadcasting and Reach Media segments, 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 Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605, “ Revenue Recognition .”  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. For our radio broadcasting segment, agency and outside sales representative commissions were approximately $7.2 million and $6.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
  
Interactive One generates the majority of the Company’s internet revenue, and derives such revenue principally from advertising services on non-radio station branded but Company owned websites, including advertising aimed at diversity recruiting and studio services, where Interactive One provides services to other publishers. 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 are made or leads are generated, or ratably over the contract period, where applicable. In addition, Interactive One derives revenue from its studio operations, which provide third-party clients with digital platforms and expertise.  In the case of the studio operations, revenue is recognized primarily based on fixed contractual monthly fees or as a share of the third party’s reported revenue.
 
TV One, the driver of revenues in our cable television segment, derives advertising revenue from the sale of television air time to advertisers, net of agency and outside sales representative commissions, and recognizes revenue when the advertisements are run. TV One also receives affiliate fees and records revenue during the term of various affiliation agreements based on the most recent subscriber counts reported by the applicable affiliate.
   
(e)  Launch Support
 
TV One has entered into certain affiliate agreements requiring various payments by TV One for launch support. Launch support assets are used to initiate carriage under new affiliation agreements and are amortized over the term of the respective contracts. Launch amortization is recorded as a reduction to revenue to the extent that revenue is recognized from the vendor, and any excess amortization is recorded as launch support amortization expense. The weighted-average amortization period for launch support is approximately 10.9 years at each of March 31, 2014, and December 31, 2013. The remaining weighted-average amortization period for launch support is 1.2 years and 1.4 years as of March 31, 2014, and December 31, 2013, respectively. For each of the three month periods ended March 31, 2014, and 2013, launch asset amortization of approximately $2.5 million was recorded as a reduction of revenue.
 
(f)  Barter Transactions
 
The Company provides advertising time in exchange for programming content and certain services and accounts for these exchanges in accordance with ASC 605, “ Revenue Recognition .” The terms of these exchanges generally permit the Company to preempt such time in favor of advertisers who purchase time in exchange for cash. The Company includes the value of such exchanges in both 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 March 31, 2014 and 2013, barter transaction revenues were $819,000 and $618,000, respectively. Additionally, barter transaction costs were reflected in programming and technical expenses and selling, general and administrative expenses of $778,000 and $549,000 and $41,000 and $69,000, for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

(g) Earnings Per Share
 
Basic earnings per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of shares of common stock (Classes A, B, C and D) outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of shares of common stock plus the effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method.  The Company’s potentially dilutive securities include stock options and restricted stock. Diluted earnings per share considers the impact of potentially dilutive securities except in periods in which there is a net loss, as the inclusion of the potentially dilutive common shares would have an anti-dilutive effect.
 
The following table sets forth the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations (in thousands, except share and per share data):

All stock options and restricted stock awards were excluded from the diluted calculation for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.  The following table summarizes the potential common shares excluded from the diluted calculation.

(h)  Fair Value Measurements
 
We report our financial and non-financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring and non-recurring basis under the provisions of ASC 820,  “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.”  ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.
 
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:
 
11	

 	
 
 	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 (i.e., 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.	
 
As of March 31, 2014, and December 31, 2013, the fair values of our financial assets and liabilities are categorized as follows:
  
 	 	Total	 	 	Level 1	 	 	Level 2	 	 	Level 3	 	
 	 	(Unaudited)

(a)    Where quoted market prices are available in an active market, securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are estimated using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics or discounted cash flows.
 
(b)    These balances are measured based on the estimated enterprise fair value of TV One. Significant inputs to the discounted cash flow analysis include forecasted operating results, discount rate and a terminal value.  A third-party valuation firm assisted the Company in estimating TV One’s fair value.
 
12	

 	
 
(c)    Pursuant to an employment agreement (the “Employment Agreement”) executed in April 2008, the Chief Executive Officer (“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 reviews the factors underlying this award at the end of each quarter including the valuation of TV One and an assessment of the probability that the employment agreement will be renewed and contain this provision. There are probability factors included in the calculation of the award related to the likelihood that the award will be realized. 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 if the CEO voluntarily leaves the Company or is terminated for cause. A third-party valuation firm assisted the Company in estimating TV One’s fair value. Significant inputs to the discounted cash flow analysis include forecasted operating results, discount rate and a terminal value. The terms of the April 2008 employment agreement remain in effect including eligibility for the TV One award.
 
(d)    The redeemable noncontrolling interest in Reach Media is measured at fair value using a discounted cash flow methodology. A third-party valuation firm assisted the Company in estimating the fair value. Significant inputs to the discounted cash flow analysis include forecasted operating results, discount rate and a terminal value.

Losses included in earnings were recorded in the consolidated statements of operations as corporate selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.
 
For Level 3 assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurements were as follows:

Any significant increases or decreases in discount rate or long-term growth rate inputs could result in significantly higher or lower fair value measurements.
 
Certain assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis using Level 3 inputs as defined in ASC 820.  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 well as content assets that are periodically written down to net realizable value. The Company concluded these assets were not impaired during the three months ended March 31, 2014, and, therefore, were reported at carrying value as opposed to fair value.  The Company recorded impairment of approximately $1.4 million related to our Cincinnati radio broadcasting licenses during the three months ended March 31, 2013.
  
(i)  Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
 
In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-02, which provides companies the option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired rather than calculating the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset. ASU 2012-02 is effective prospectively for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2013, and elected to not apply the qualitative assessment as allowed by ASU 2012-02.
 
In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02, “Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, ” which adds new disclosure requirements for items reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income. ASU 2013-02 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements, other than presentation and disclosure.
 
In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, “Income Taxes (Topic 740) Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists, ” which adds new disclosure requirements for taxes. ASU 2013-11 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.
 
(j)  Redeemable noncontrolling interest
 
Redeemable noncontrolling interests are interests in subsidiaries that are redeemable outside of the Company’s control either for cash or other assets. These interests are classified as mezzanine equity and measured at the greater of estimated redemption value at the end of each reporting period or the historical cost basis of the noncontrolling interests adjusted for cumulative earnings allocations.  The resulting increases or decreases in the estimated redemption amount are affected by corresponding charges against retained earnings, or in the absence of retained earnings, additional paid-in-capital.

(k)  Investments
 
Investment Securities
 
Investments consist primarily of corporate fixed maturity securities, government sponsored enterprise mortgage-backed securities and mutual funds.
 
Investments with original maturities in excess of three months and less than one year are classified as short-term investments. Long-term investments have original maturities in excess of one year.
 
All of our investment securities are classified as “available-for-sale” and reported at fair value. Investments in available-for-sale fixed maturity securities are classified as either current or noncurrent assets based on their contractual maturities. Fixed maturity securities are carried at estimated fair value based on quoted market prices for the same or similar instruments. Investment income is recognized when earned and reported net of investment expenses. Unrealized gains and losses are excluded from earnings and are reported as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until realized, unless the losses are deemed to be other than temporary. Realized gains or losses, including any provision for other-than-temporary declines in value, are included in the statements of operations. For purposes of computing realized gains and losses, the specific-identification method of determining cost was used.
  
Evaluating Investments for Other than Temporary Impairments
 
The Company periodically performs evaluations, on a lot-by-lot and security-by-security basis, of its investment holdings in accordance with its impairment policy to evaluate whether any declines in the fair value of investments are other than temporary. This evaluation consists of a review of several factors, including but not limited to: length of time and extent that a security has been in an unrealized loss position, the existence of an event that would impair the issuer’s future earnings potential, and the near-term prospects for recovery of the market value of a security. The FASB has issued guidance for recognition and presentation of other than temporary impairment (“OTTI”), or FASB OTTI guidance. Accordingly, any credit-related impairment of fixed maturity securities that the Company does not intend to sell, and is not likely to be required to sell, is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations, with the noncredit-related impairment recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).
 
The Company believes that it has adequately reviewed its investment securities for OTTI and that its investment securities are carried at fair value. However, over time, the economic and market environment (including any ratings change for any such securities, including US treasuries and corporate bonds) may provide additional insight regarding the fair value of certain securities, which could change management’s judgment regarding OTTI. This could result in realized losses relating to other than temporary declines being charged against future income. Given the judgments involved, there is a continuing risk that further declines in fair value may occur and material OTTI may be recorded in future periods.
 
(l)  Content Assets
 
TV One has entered into contracts to acquire entertainment programming rights and programs from distributors and producers. The Company also has programming for which the Company has engaged third parties to develop and produce, and it owns most or all rights. The license periods granted in these contracts generally run from one year to perpetuity. Contract payments are made in installments over terms that are generally shorter than the contract period. Each contract is recorded as an asset and a liability at an amount equal to its gross contractual commitment when the license period begins and the program is available for its first airing.
 
Program rights are recorded at the lower of amortized cost or estimated net realizable value. Program rights are amortized based on the greater of the usage of the program or term of license. Estimated net realizable values are based on the estimated revenues directly associated with the program materials and related expenses. The Company recorded $58,000 additional amortization expense as a result of evaluating its contracts for recoverability for the three months ended March 31, 2014, and did not record any additional amortization expense for the three months ended March 31, 2013. All produced and licensed content is classified as a long-term asset, except for the portion of the unamortized content balance that will be amortized within one year which is classified as a current asset.

Tax incentives state and local governments offer that are directly measured based on production activities are recorded as reductions in production costs consistent with the accounting prescribed by ASC 740-10-25-46 because the business substance of these transactions is to reduce the overall cost of production for film and television products.
 
(m)  Derivatives
 
As of March 31, 2014, the Company was party to an Employment Agreement executed in April 2008 with the CEO. 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 estimated the fair value of the award at March 31, 2014, to be approximately $14.6 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 if the CEO voluntarily leaves the Company, or is terminated for cause. The terms of the Employment Agreement remain in effect including eligibility for the TV One award.

2.  ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS:
 
On October 20, 2011, we entered into a local marketing agreement (“LMA”) with WGPR, Inc. (“WGPR”). Pursuant to the LMA, beginning October 24, 2011, we began to broadcast programs produced, owned or acquired by Radio One on WGPR’s Detroit radio station, WGPR-FM. We pay certain operating costs of WGPR-FM, and in exchange we retain all revenues from the sale of the advertising within the programming we provide. The LMA continues until December 31, 2014, and we have two successive 1-year options for a 4th year and a 5th year that would extend the term until December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2016, respectively. Under the terms of the LMA, WGPR has also granted us certain rights of first negotiation and first refusal, with respect to the sale of WGPR-FM by WGPR and with respect to any potential time brokerage agreement for WGPR-FM covering any time period subsequent to the term of the LMA.

On February 15, 2013, the Company closed on the previously announced sale of the assets of one of its Columbus, Ohio radio stations, WJKR-FM (The Jack, 98.9 FM), to Salem Media of Ohio, Inc., a subsidiary of Salem Communications (“Salem”).  The Company sold the assets of WJKR for $4 million and recognized a gain on the sale of $893,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2013.
 
On February 3, 2014, the Company executed a new TBA, effective December 1, 2013, for its remaining station in Boston.  The TBA has a three-year term, and at the conclusion of the TBA, the Company’s remaining Boston station will be conveyed to Radio Boston Broadcasting, Inc., an affiliate of Pacific Media International, LLC.
 
On February 27, 2014, the Company completed the acquisition of Gaffney Broadcasting, Incorporated (“Gaffney”), which consisted of an AM and FM station (WOSF-FM).  Total consideration paid for the two stations was approximately $7.7 million, which includes a deposit that was paid in a prior period. Prior to the closing of the acquisition, the Company operated the assets of the FM station pursuant to the terms of an LMA. In connection with the acquisition, the Company added Gaffney as a party to the agreements governing its outstanding notes and its senior credit facility.  At the February 27, 2014 acquisition date, the AM station assets were classified as assets held for sale in the amount of $225,000. On March 31, 2014, the AM station assets held for sale were sold for $225,000. The Company’s preliminary purchase accounting for assets acquired and liabilities assumed consisted of approximately $426,000 to fixed assets, $7.0 million to radio broadcasting licenses, $2.7 million to goodwill, $44,000 to other definite-lived intangible assets and $2.7 million to deferred tax liabilities. In accordance with accounting standards applicable to business combinations, the Company recorded the assets and liabilities at fair value as of February 27, 2014.
  
3.  GOODWILL AND RADIO BROADCASTING LICENSES:
 
Impairment Testing
 
In accordance with ASC 350, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other,” we do not amortize our indefinite-lived radio broadcasting licenses and goodwill. Instead, we perform a test for impairment annually or on an interim basis when events or changes in circumstances or other conditions suggest 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.

Valuation of Broadcasting Licenses
 
During the first quarter of 2014, the total market revenue growth for one of the markets in which we operate was below that used in our 2013 annual impairment testing. We deemed that to be an impairment indicator that warranted interim impairment testing of that market’s radio broadcasting licenses, which we performed as of March 31, 2014. There was no impairment identified as part of this testing. In addition, during the first quarter of 2013, the total market revenue growth for one of the markets in which we operate was below that used in our 2012 annual impairment testing. We deemed that to be an impairment indicator that warranted interim impairment testing of that market’s radio broadcasting licenses, which we performed as of March 31, 2013. The Company recorded an impairment charge of approximately $1.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2013, related to our Cincinnati FCC radio broadcasting licenses. There were no impairment indicators present for any of our other radio broadcasting licenses. Below are some of the key assumptions used in the income approach model for estimating broadcasting licenses fair values for the annual impairment assessment as of October 1, 2013, and interim impairment assessments for the quarters ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.

Valuation of Goodwill
  
During the first quarter of 2014, we identified an impairment indicator at one of our radio markets, and as such, we performed an interim analysis for certain radio market goodwill as of March 31, 2014. No goodwill impairment was noted during the three months ended March 31, 2014. We did not identify any impairment indicators for the three months ended March 31, 2013. Below are some of the key assumptions used in the income approach model for estimating reporting unit fair values for the annual impairment assessment as of October 1, 2013, and interim impairment assessment for the quarter ended March 31, 2014.

The Company’s investments in debt securities are sensitive to interest rate fluctuations, which impact the fair value of individual securities. Unrealized losses on the Company’s investments in debt securities have occurred due to volatility and liquidity concerns within the capital markets during the quarter ended March 31, 2014.

A primary objective in the management of the fixed maturity portfolios is to maximize total return relative to underlying liabilities and respective liquidity needs. In achieving this goal, assets may be sold to take advantage of market conditions or other investment opportunities, as well as tax considerations. Sales will generally produce realized gains or losses. In the ordinary course of business, the Company may sell securities for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to: (i) changes to the investment environment; (ii) expectation that the fair value could deteriorate further; (iii) desire to reduce exposure to an issuer or an industry; (iv) changes in credit quality; and (v) changes in expected cash flow. Available-for-sale securities were sold as follows:

Credit Facilities
 
Current Credit Facilities
 
On March 31, 2011, the Company entered into a senior secured credit facility (the “2011 Credit Agreement”) with a syndicate of banks, and simultaneously borrowed $386.0 million to retire all outstanding obligations under the Company’s previous amended and restated credit agreement and to fund our obligation with respect to a capital call initiated by TV One.  The total amount available under the 2011 Credit Agreement is $411.0 million, consisting of a $386.0 million term loan facility that matures on March 31, 2016 and a $25.0 million revolving loan facility that matures on March 31, 2015. Borrowings under the credit facilities are subject to compliance with certain covenants including, but not limited to, certain financial covenants. Proceeds from the credit facilities can be used 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. On December 19, 2012, the Company entered into an amendment to the 2011 Credit Agreement (the “December 2012 Amendment”). The December 2012 Amendment: (i) modifies financial covenant levels with respect to the Company's total-leverage, secured-leverage, and interest-coverage ratios; (ii) increases the amount of cash the Company can net for determination of its net indebtedness tests; and (iii) extends the time for certain of the 2011 Credit Agreement's call premium while reducing the time for its later and lower premium.
 
20	

 	
 
The 2011 Credit Agreement, as amended, contains affirmative and negative covenants that the Company is required to comply with, including:
 
(a)   maintaining an interest coverage ratio of no less than:

In accordance with the 2011 Credit Agreement, as amended, the calculations for the ratios above do not include the operating results or related debt of TV One, but rather include our proportionate share of cash dividends received from TV One for periods presented.
 
As of March 31, 2014, the Company was in compliance with all of its financial covenants under the 2011 Credit Agreement, as amended.  
 
Under the terms of the 2011 Credit Agreement, as amended, interest on base rate loans is payable quarterly and interest on LIBOR loans is payable monthly or quarterly. The base rate is equal to the greater of: (i) the prime rate; (ii) the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 0.50%; or (iii) the LIBOR Rate for a one-month period plus 1.00%.  The applicable margin on the 2011 Credit Agreement is between (i) 4.50% and 5.50% on the revolving portion of the facility and (ii) 5.00% (with a base rate floor of 2.5% per annum) and 6.00% (with a LIBOR floor of 1.5% per annum) on the term portion of the facility. The average interest rate was 7.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2014. Quarterly installments of 0.25%, or $960,000, of the principal balance on the term loan are payable on the last day of each March, June, September and December.
 
As of March 31, 2014, the Company had approximately $24.0 million of borrowing capacity under its revolving credit facility, after adjusting for outstanding letters of credit. After taking into consideration the financial covenants under the 2011 Credit Agreement, as amended, and adjusting for the outstanding letters of credit, approximately $24.0 million was available to be borrowed.
  
As of March 31, 2014, the Company had outstanding approximately $372.5 million on its term credit facility. During the quarter ended March 31, 2014, the Company repaid approximately $1.0 million under the 2011 Credit Agreement, as amended. The original issue discount is being reflected as an adjustment to the carrying amount of the debt obligation and amortized to interest expense over the term of the credit facility. According to the terms of the Credit Agreement, as amended, the Company made an excess cash flow payment of approximately $1.0 million during April 2014.

On November 24, 2010, we issued $286.8 million of our 12.5%/15% Senior Subordinated Notes due May 2016 (the “2016 Notes”) in a private placement and exchanged and then cancelled approximately $97.0 million of $101.5 million in aggregate principal amount outstanding of our 8 ⅞% senior subordinated notes due 2011 (the “2011 Notes”) and approximately $199.3 million of $200.0 million in aggregate principal amount outstanding of our 6 3 / 8 % Senior Subordinated Notes that matured in February 2013 (the “2013 Notes” and the 2013 Notes together with the 2011 Notes, the “Prior Notes”).  Subsequently, we repurchased or redeemed all remaining Prior Notes pursuant to the terms of their respective indenture. Effective March 13, 2014, the Company repurchased or otherwise redeemed all of the amounts outstanding under the 2016 Notes. The Company recorded a loss on retirement of debt of approximately $5.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. This amount includes a write-off of approximately $4.1 million of previously capitalized debt financing costs and approximately $1.6 million associated with the net premium paid to retire the 2016 Notes.
 
On February 10, 2014, the Company closed a private placement offering of $335.0 million aggregate principal amount of 9.25% senior subordinated notes due 2020 (the “2020 Notes”). The 2020 Notes were offered at an original issue price of 100.0% plus accrued interest from February 10, 2014. The 2020 Notes mature on February 15, 2020. Interest accrues at the rate of 9.25% per annum and is payable semiannually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 in the amount of approximately $15.5 million, commencing on August 15, 2014. The 2020 Notes are guaranteed by certain of the Company’s existing and future domestic subsidiaries and any other subsidiaries that guarantee the existing senior credit facility or any of the Issuer's other syndicated bank indebtedness or capital markets securities. The Company used the net proceeds from the offering to repurchase or otherwise redeem all of the amounts currently outstanding under its 2016 Notes and to pay the related accrued interest, premiums, fees and expenses associated therewith. As of March 31, 2014, the Company had $335.0 million of our 2020 Notes outstanding. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company capitalized approximately $4.5 million of costs associated with our 2020 Notes.
 
Pursuant to Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X, the Company has in its past periodic reports, including its most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2013, included in a footnote to its financial statements, condensed consolidating financial information for the Company, the wholly-owned guarantor subsidiaries on a combined basis, the non-wholly owned guarantor subsidiaries on a combined basis, the non-guarantor subsidiaries on a combined basis, consolidating adjustments and the total consolidated amounts. Pursuant to Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X, the Company also included in its past periodic reports the stand-alone financial statements of Reach Media, beginning with its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2013. Given the redemption of the 2016 Notes in March 2014, the Company and its subsidiary guarantors filed a Form 15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 18, 2014 with respect to its 2016 Notes.  As the 2020 Notes are not registered, the Company will no longer be required to present expanded information with respect to Reach Media or the non-guarantor subsidiaries.
 
22	

 	
 
Interest payments under the terms of the 63/8% Senior Subordinated Notes that matured in February 2013, were due in February and August.  Based on the $747,000 principal balance of the 6 3 / 8 % Senior Subordinated Notes outstanding at December 31, 2012, interest payments of $24,000 were paid each February and August through February 2013.
 
Interest on the 121/2%/15% Senior Subordinated Notes, that the Company repurchased or otherwise redeemed in March 2014, was initially payable in cash, or at our election, partially in cash and partially through the issuance of additional 12 1 / 2 %/15% Senior Subordinated Notes (a “PIK Election”) on a quarterly basis in arrears on February 15, May 15, August 15 and November 15, commencing on February 15, 2011.  We made a PIK Election with respect to interest accruing up to but not including May 15, 2012. Beginning on May 15, 2012, interest accrued at a rate of 12 1 / 2 % and was payable wholly in cash and the Company no longer had an option to pay any portion of its interest through the issuance of PIK Notes. During the period the PIK Election was in effect, the interest paid in cash and the interest paid-in-kind (“PIK”) by issuance of additional 12 1 / 2 %/15% Senior Subordinated Notes due May 2016 (“PIK Notes”) accrued for such quarterly period at 6.0% cash per annum and 9.0% PIK per annum.
 
The indenture that governs the 2020 Notes also contains covenants that restrict, among other things, the ability of the Company to incur additional debt, purchase common 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.
  
TV One Senior Secured Notes
 
TV One issued $119.0 million in senior secured notes on February 25, 2011. The proceeds from the notes were issued to purchase equity interests from certain financial investors and TV One management. The notes bear interest at 10.0% per annum, which is payable monthly, and the entire principal amount is due on March 15, 2016.
 
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 obligations under the 2020 Notes and the 2011 Credit Agreement, as amended.
 
Future scheduled minimum principal payments of debt as of March 31, 2014, are as follows:

6.  INCOME TAXES:
 
The Company recorded tax expense of approximately $8.6 million on a pre-tax loss from continuing operations of approximately $11.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, based on the actual effective tax rate for the current period. Because our income tax expense does not have a correlation to our pre-tax earnings, small changes in those earnings can have a significant impact on the income tax expense we recognize.  The Company continues to estimate a range of possible outcomes due to the proportion of deferred tax expense from indefinite-lived intangible assets over pre-tax earnings. As a result, we believe the actual effective tax rate best represents the estimated effective rate for the three months ended March 31, 2014, in accordance with ASC 740-270, “ Interim Reporting .”
 
23	

 	
 
As of March 31, 2014, the Company continues to maintain a full valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets for substantially all entities and jurisdictions, for its net deferred tax assets, but excludes deferred tax liabilities related to indefinite-lived intangible assets. In accordance with ASC 740, “ Accounting for Income Taxes ”, the Company continually assesses the adequacy of the valuation allowance by assessing the likely future tax consequences of events that have been realized in the Company’s financial statements or tax returns, tax planning strategies, and future profitability. As of March 31, 2014, the Company does not believe it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized. As part of the assessment, the Company has not included the deferred tax liability related to indefinite-lived intangible assets as a source of future taxable income to support realization of the deferred tax assets.
 
7.  STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY: 
 
Stock Repurchase Program
 
In January 2013, the Company’s board of directors authorized a repurchase of shares of the Company’s Class A and Class D common stock (the “January 2013 Repurchase Authorization”). Under the January 2013 Repurchase Authorization, the Company is authorized, but is not obligated, to repurchase up to $2.0 million worth of its Class A and/or Class D common stock. Subsequently, in May 2013, the Company’s board of directors authorized a further $1.5 million worth of stock repurchases (the “May 2013 Repurchase Authorization”). Thus, the aggregate amount authorized between the January 2013 Repurchase Authorization and the May 2013 Repurchase Authorization was $3.5 million. As of March 31, 2014, the Company had $57,000 remaining between the two authorizations with respect to its Class A and D common stock. Repurchases may be made from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. The timing and extent of any repurchases will depend upon prevailing market conditions, the trading price of the Company’s Class A and/or Class D common stock and other factors, and subject to restrictions under applicable law. The Company executes upon the stock repurchase program in a manner consistent with market conditions and the interests of the stockholders, including maximizing stockholder value. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company did not repurchase any Class A Common Stock or Class D Common Stock. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company repurchased 951,974 shares of Class D common stock in the amount of $1,514,903 at an average price of $1.59 per share and 7,150 shares of Class A common stock in the amount of $11,026 at an average price of $1.54 per share.
 
Stock Option and Restricted Stock Grant Plan
 
A stock option and restricted stock plan (the “2009 Stock Plan”) was approved by the stockholders at the Company’s annual meeting on December 16, 2009.  The Company had the authority to issue up to 8,250,000 shares of Class D common stock under the 2009 Stock Plan.  After giving effect to the prior issuances under the 2009 Stock Plan, approximately 5,000,000 shares remained available for issuance prior to the amendment. On September 26, 2013, the board of directors adopted, and our stockholders approved on November 14, 2013, certain amendments to and restatement of the 2009 Stock Plan (the “Amended and Restated 2009 Stock Plan”). The amendments under the Amended and Restated 2009 Stock Plan primarily affected (i) the number of shares with respect to which options and restricted stock grants may be granted under the 2009 Stock Plan and (ii) the maximum number of shares that can be awarded to any individual in any one calendar year. The Amended and Restated 2009 Stock Plan increased the authorized plan shares remaining available for grant to 7,000,000 shares of Class D common stock after giving effect to the issuance prior to the amendment. Prior to the amendment, under the 2009 Plan, in any one calendar year, the compensation committee could not grant to any one participant options to purchase, or grants of, a number of shares of Class D common stock in excess of 1,000,000.  Under the Amended and Restated 2009 Stock Plan, this limitation was eliminated. The purpose of eliminating this limitation is to provide the compensation committee with maximum flexibility in setting executive compensation. As of March 31, 2014, 7,000,000 shares of Class D Common Stock were available for grant under the Amended and Restated 2009 Stock Plan.

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 three months ended March 31, 2014, 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 March 31, 2014. This amount changes based on the fair market value of the Company’s stock. There were no options exercised and no options vested during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.
 
As of March 31, 2014, $14,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2 months. The stock option weighted-average fair value per share was $2.65 at March 31, 2014.
 
The Company did not grant shares of restricted stock during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
As of March 31, 2014, we had four standby letters of credit totaling approximately $1.0 million in connection with our annual insurance policy renewals and real estate leases.
 
Noncontrolling Interest Shareholders’ Put Rights
 
Beginning on February 28, 2012, the noncontrolling interest shareholders of Reach Media had an annual right to require Reach Media to purchase all or a portion of their shares at the then current fair market value for such shares (the “Put Right”).   Beginning in 2012, this annual right was exercisable for a 30-day period beginning February 28 of each year. The purchase price for such shares may be paid in cash and/or registered Class D Common Stock of Radio One, at the discretion of Radio One. On December 31, 2012, Reach Media and its noncontrolling interest shareholders amended the shareholder’s agreement governing their relationship. As part of that amendment, the noncontrolling interest shareholders agreed to delay the Put Right until January 1, 2018. The terms of the Put Right remain the same in all other respects.

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, for the year ended December 31, 2013.
 
Introduction
 
Revenue
 
Within our core radio business, 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. The following chart shows net revenue generated from our core radio business as a percentage of consolidated net revenue. In addition, it shows the percentages generated from local and national advertising as a subset of net revenue from our core radio business.

 
 	 	For The Three Months
Ended March 31,	 	
 	 	2014	 	 	2013	 	
Net revenue generated from core radio business, excluding Reach Media, as a percentage of consolidated net revenue	 	 	45.1	%	 	 	50.5	%	
 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	
Percentage of core radio business generated from local advertising	 	 	63.2	%	 	 	69.1	%	
 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	
Percentage of core radio business generated from national advertising, including network advertising	 	 	31.7	%	 	 	26.5	%	
 
Our Reach Media segment generated approximately 15.0% and 9.6% of our total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Reach’s Media’s net revenue increased for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, compared to the same period in 2013 due primarily to the timing of the “Tom Joyner Fantastic Voyage” which was held in the second quarter of 2013 and the first quarter of 2014. National advertising also includes advertising revenue generated from our internet segment. The balance of net revenue from our radio segment was generated from tower rental income, ticket sales and revenue related to our sponsored events, management fees and other revenue. Our cable television segment generated approximately 35.7% and 36.3% of our total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
 
In the broadcasting industry, radio stations and television 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.
 
Interactive One derives its revenue principally from advertising services, including diversity recruiting advertising. 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 are made or leads are generated, or ratably over the contract period, where applicable. In addition, Interactive One derives revenue from its studio operations, which provide third-party clients with digital platforms and expertise.  In the case of the studio operations, revenue is recognized primarily based on fixed contractual monthly fees or as a share of the third party’s reported revenue.
 
TV One generates the Company’s cable television revenue, and derives its revenue principally from advertising and affiliate revenue. Advertising revenue is derived from the sale of television air time to advertisers and is recognized when the advertisements are run. TV One also receives affiliate fees and records revenue during the term of various affiliation agreements at levels appropriate for the most recent subscriber counts reported by the applicable affiliate.

Our significant 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; (vi) music license royalty fees; and (vii)  content amortization. We strive to control these expenses by centralizing certain functions such as finance, accounting, legal, human resources and management information systems and, in certain markets, the 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. 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 cable television business include content acquisition and amortization, sales and marketing.
 
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 changed ratings and the effect on advertising revenue tends to lag behind both the reporting of the ratings and the incurrence of advertising and promotional expenditures. 
 
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. 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 our online business as impressions are delivered, as “click throughs” are made or ratably over contract periods, where applicable. Net revenue is recognized for our cable television business as advertisements are run, and during the term of the affiliation agreements at levels appropriate for the most recent subscriber counts reported by the affiliate, net of launch support.
  
(b) Station operating income:  Net income (loss) before depreciation and amortization, income taxes, interest (income) expense, noncontrolling interests’ income, other (income) expense, corporate expenses, stock-based compensation expenses, impairment of long-lived assets, loss on retirement of debt and income (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 in the United States (“GAAP”). Nevertheless, station operating income 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 fixed and long-lived intangible assets, income taxes, investments, impairment charges, debt financings and retirements, corporate overhead, stock-based compensation and discontinued operations. 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 of our operating segments (Radio Broadcasting, Reach Media, Internet and Cable Television). Station operating income does not represent operating loss or cash flow from operating activities, as those terms are defined under GAAP, 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 GAAP. 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. Station operating margin include results from all four segments (Radio Broadcasting, Reach Media, Internet and Cable Television).

(d) Adjusted EBITDA: Adjusted EBITDA consists of net (loss) income plus (1) depreciation and amortization, income taxes, interest expense, noncontrolling interest in income of subsidiaries, impairment of long-lived assets, stock-based compensation, loss o retirement of debt, income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax, less (2) other income and interest income. 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 as our definition includes the results of all four of our operating segments (Radio Broadcasting, Reach Media, Internet and Cable Television). 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.

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we recognized approximately $111.1 million in net revenue compared to approximately $99.1 million during the same period in 2013. Net revenue for our radio broadcasting segment decreased 0.4% compared to the same period in 2013. Based on reports prepared by the independent accounting firm Miller, Kaplan, Arase & Co., LLP, the markets we operate in increased 0.4% in total revenues. We experienced net revenue growth most significantly in our Charlotte, Dallas and Detroit markets, with our Atlanta, Cincinnati and Philadelphia markets experiencing the most significant declines. We recognized approximately $39.7 million of revenue from our cable television segment during the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to approximately $36.0 million for the same period in 2013, the increase due primarily from an increase in advertising sales. Reach’s Media’s net revenue increased approximately $7.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, compared to the same period in 2013 due primarily to the timing of the “Tom Joyner Fantastic Voyage” which was held in the second quarter of 2013 and the first quarter of 2014. The annual event generated revenue of approximately $6.6 million during the first quarter of 2014. Adjusting for the timing difference for the “Tom Joyner Fantastic Voyage,” Reach Media’s revenue increased 5.9% for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, compared to the same period in 2013. Finally, net revenues for our internet business increased approximately $1.4 million and 27.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to the same period in 2013 due to growth in direct revenue as well as advertising and studio services, where Interactive One provides services to other publishers.

$	35,272	 	 	$	30,521	 	 	$	4,751	 	 	 	15.6	%	
 
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. 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. For our cable television segment, programming and technical expenses include expenses associated with the technical, programming, production, and content management. Approximately $15.5 million of our consolidated programming and technical operating expenses were incurred by TV One for the three months ended March 31, 2014, versus approximately $11.4 million for the same period in 2013. Of this total amount incurred by TV One, approximately $13.1 million and $9.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, respectively, relates specifically to content amortization. The increase in TV One programming content amortization is a result of certain special televised events taking place during the quarter.

$	40,613	 	 	$	32,724	 	 	$	7,889	 	 	 	24.1	%	
 
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 the radio broadcasting segment and internet segment 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. The increased expense for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to the same period in 2013 is due primarily to timing of Reach Media’s “Tom Joyner Fantastic Voyage,” held during the first quarter of 2014. Reach Media incurred approximately $5.8 million of selling, general and administrative expenses associated with the event. In addition, approximately $8.7 million of our consolidated selling, general and administrative operating expenses were incurred by TV One for the three months ended March 31, 2014, versus approximately $7.0 million for the same period in 2013. TV One incurred higher selling, general and administrative expenses related to higher marketing and promotional expenses to advertise and promote premieres of various TV One shows.

Corporate expenses consist of expenses associated with our corporate headquarters and facilities, including personnel as well as other corporate overhead functions. We recorded a non-cash increase of approximately $492,000 in compensation expense for the Chief Executive Officer in connection with the valuation of the potential payment for the TV One award element in his employment agreement.

Interest expense decreased to approximately $21.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to approximately $22.2 million for the same period in 2013. Through March 13, 2014, interest on the Company’s 12.5%/15% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2016 (“2016 Notes”) accrued and was paid at a rate of 12.5%. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company repurchased or otherwise redeemed all of the amounts outstanding under the 2016 Notes and closed on a private placement offering of $335.0 million of 9.25% Senior Subordinated Notes due February 2020.

The loss on retirement of debt of approximately $5.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, was due to the retirement of the 2016 Notes during the first quarter. This amount includes a write-off of approximately $4.1 million of previously capitalized debt financing costs and approximately $1.6 million associated with the net premium paid to retire the 2016 Notes.

$	8,578	 	 	$	6,681	 	 	$	1,897	 	 	 	28.4	%	
 
For the three months ended March 31, 2014, and 2013, the provision for income taxes was approximately $8.6 million and $6.7 million, respectively, primarily attributable to the deferred tax liability (“DTL”) for indefinite-lived intangible assets. The increase in tax provision is due to the impairment of long-lived intangibles that reduced the DTL and related deferred tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2013.
 
Income from discontinued operations, net of tax

$	-	 	 	$	890	 	 	$	(890	)	 	 	(100.0	)%	
 
Income from discontinued operations, net of tax, includes the results of operations for our sold radio stations (or stations subject to a local marketing agreement). The activity for the three months ended March 31, 2013, resulted primarily from the sale of our Columbus, Ohio radio station, WJKR-FM (The Jack, 98.9 FM) in February 2013 which resulted in a gain of $893,000.
 
Noncontrolling interests in income of subsidiaries

$	4,881	 	 	$	5,691	 	 	$	(810	)	 	 	(14.2	)%	
  
The decrease in noncontrolling interests in income of subsidiaries is due primarily to lower net income generated by TV One during the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to the 2013 period. In addition, Reach Media generated net income during the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to a net loss during the 2013 period, which partially offset the decrease.
 
Other Data
 
Station operating income
 
Station operating income decreased to approximately $35.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to approximately $35.9 million for the comparable period in 2013, a decrease of $700,000 or 1.9%. TV One generated lower station operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2014, versus the same period in 2013, due primarily to higher programming content costs and higher marketing and promotional expenses. TV One generated approximately $15.4 million of station operating income during the quarter ended March 31, 2014, compared to $17.6 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2013. This decrease in TV One station operating income was partially offset by an increase in Reach Media’s station operating income. Reach Media generated approximately $1.4 million of station operating income during the quarter ended March 31, 2014, compared to $333,000 during the quarter ended March 31, 2013. The increase was due primarily to the timing of the “Tom Joyner Fantastic Voyage” which was held in the second quarter of 2013 and the first quarter of 2014.
  
Station operating income margin
 
Station operating income margin decreased to 31.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2014, from 36.2% for the comparable period in 2013. The margin decrease was primarily attributable to TV One’s lower station operating margin of 38.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to 49.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2013. TV One’s lower station operating margin was due primarily to higher programming content costs and higher marketing and promotional expenses. Reach Media’s station operating margin increased from 3.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2013, to 8.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
Our primary source of liquidity is cash provided by operations and, to the extent necessary, borrowings available under our senior credit facility and other debt or equity financing.
 
Credit Facilities
 
On March 31, 2011, the Company entered into a senior secured credit facility (the “2011 Credit Agreement”) with a syndicate of banks, and simultaneously borrowed $386.0 million to retire all outstanding obligations under the Company’s previous amended and restated credit agreement and to fund our obligation with respect to a capital call initiated by TV One.  The total amount available under the 2011 Credit Agreement is $411.0 million, consisting of a $386.0 million term loan facility that matures on March 31, 2016 and a $25.0 million revolving loan facility that matures on March 31, 2015. Borrowings under the credit facilities are subject to compliance with certain covenants including, but not limited to, certain financial covenants. Proceeds from the credit facilities can be used 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. On December 19, 2012, the Company entered into an amendment to the 2011 Credit Agreement (the “December 2012 Amendment”). The December 2012 Amendment: (i) modifies financial covenant levels with respect to the Company's total-leverage, secured-leverage, and interest-coverage ratios; (ii) increases the amount of cash the Company can net for determination of its net indebtedness tests; and (iii) extends the time for certain of the 2011 Credit Agreement's call premium while reducing the time for its later and lower premium.
 
The 2011 Credit Agreement, as amended, contains affirmative and negative covenants that the Company is required to comply with, including:
 
(a)   maintaining an interest coverage ratio of no less than:
§	1.10 to 1.00 on December 31, 2012, and the last day of each fiscal quarter through December 31, 2013;	
§	1.20 to 1.00 on March 31, 2014, and the last day of each fiscal quarter through September 30, 2014;	
§	1.25 to 1.00 on December 31, 2014, and the last day of each fiscal quarter through September 30, 2015; and

In accordance with the 2011 Credit Agreement, as amended, the calculations for the ratios above do not include the operating results or related debt of TV One, but rather include our proportionate share of cash dividends received from TV One for periods presented.
 
As of March 31, 2014, the Company was in compliance with all of its financial covenants under the 2011 Credit Agreement, as amended.  
 
Under the terms of the 2011 Credit Agreement, as amended, interest on base rate loans is payable quarterly and interest on LIBOR loans is payable monthly or quarterly. The base rate is equal to the greater of: (i) the prime rate; (ii) the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 0.50%; or (iii) the LIBOR Rate for a one-month period plus 1.00%.  The applicable margin on the 2011 Credit Agreement is between (i) 4.50% and 5.50% on the revolving portion of the facility and (ii) 5.00% (with a base rate floor of 2.5% per annum) and 6.00% (with a LIBOR floor of 1.5% per annum) on the term portion of the facility. The average interest rate was 7.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2014. Quarterly installments of 0.25%, or $960,000, of the principal balance on the term loan are payable on the last day of each March, June, September and December.
 
As of March 31, 2014, the Company had approximately $24.0 million of borrowing capacity under its revolving credit facility, after adjusting for outstanding letters of credit. After taking into consideration the financial covenants under the 2011 Credit Agreement, as amended, and adjusting for outstanding letters of credit, approximately $24.0 million was available to be borrowed.
  
As of March 31, 2014, the Company had outstanding approximately $372.5 million on its term credit facility. During the quarter ended March 31, 2014, the Company repaid approximately $1.0 million under the 2011 Credit Agreement, as amended. The original issue discount is being reflected as an adjustment to the carrying amount of the debt obligation and amortized to interest expense over the term of the credit facility. According to the terms of the Credit Agreement, as amended, the Company made an excess cash flow payment of approximately $1.0 million during April 2014.
 
Senior Subordinated Notes
 
On November 24, 2010, we issued $286.8 million of our 12.5%/15% Senior Subordinated Notes due May 2016 (the “2016 Notes”) in a private placement and exchanged and then cancelled approximately $97.0 million of $101.5 million in aggregate principal amount outstanding of our 8 ⅞% senior subordinated notes due 2011 (the “2011 Notes”) and approximately $199.3 million of $200.0 million in aggregate principal amount outstanding of our 6 3 / 8 % Senior Subordinated Notes that matured in February 2013 (the “2013 Notes” and the 2013 Notes together with the 2011 Notes, the “Prior Notes”).  Subsequently, we repurchased or redeemed all remaining Prior Notes pursuant to the terms of their respective indenture. Effective March 13, 2014, the Company repurchased or otherwise redeemed all of the amounts outstanding under the 2016 Notes. The Company recorded a loss on retirement of debt of approximately $5.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. This amount includes a write-off of approximately $4.1 million of previously capitalized debt financing costs and approximately $1.6 million associated with the net premium paid to retire the 2016 Notes.

On February 10, 2014, the Company closed a private placement offering of $335.0 million aggregate principal amount of 9.25% senior subordinated notes due 2020 (the “2020 Notes”). The 2020 Notes were offered at an original issue price of 100.0% plus accrued interest from February 10, 2014. The 2020 Notes mature on February 15, 2020. Interest accrues at the rate of 9.25% per annum and is payable semiannually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 in the amount of approximately $15.5 million, commencing on August 15, 2014. The 2020 Notes are guaranteed by certain of the Company’s existing and future domestic subsidiaries and any other subsidiaries that guarantee the existing senior credit facility or any of the Issuer's other syndicated bank indebtedness or capital markets securities. The Company used the net proceeds from the offering to repurchase or otherwise redeem all of the amounts currently outstanding under its 2016 Notes and to pay the related accrued interest, premiums, fees and expenses associated therewith. As of March 31, 2014, the Company had $335.0 million of our 2020 Notes outstanding. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company capitalized approximately $4.5 million of costs associated with our 2020 Notes.
 
Pursuant to Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X, the Company has in its past periodic reports, including its most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2013, included in a footnote to its financial statements, condensed consolidating financial information for the Company, the wholly-owned guarantor subsidiaries on a combined basis, the non-wholly owned guarantor subsidiaries on a combined basis, the non-guarantor subsidiaries on a combined basis, consolidating adjustments and the total consolidated amounts. Pursuant to Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X, the Company also included in its past periodic reports the stand-alone financial statements of Reach Media, beginning with its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2013. Given the redemption of the 2016 Notes in March 2014, the Company and its subsidiary guarantors filed a Form 15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 18, 2014, with respect to its 2016 Notes.  As the 2020 Notes are not registered, the Company will no longer be required to present expanded information with respect to Reach Media or the non-guarantor subsidiaries.
 
Interest payments under the terms of the 63/8% Senior Subordinated Notes that matured in February 2013, were due in February and August.  Based on the $747,000 principal balance of the 6 3 / 8 % Senior Subordinated Notes outstanding at December 31, 2012, interest payments of $24,000 were paid each February and August through February 2013.
 
Interest on the 121/2%/15% Senior Subordinated Notes, that the Company repurchased or otherwise redeemed in March 2014, was initially payable in cash, or at our election, partially in cash and partially through the issuance of additional 12 1 / 2 %/15% Senior Subordinated Notes (a “PIK Election”) on a quarterly basis in arrears on February 15, May 15, August 15 and November 15, commencing on February 15, 2011.  We made a PIK Election with respect to interest accruing up to but not including May 15, 2012. Beginning on May 15, 2012, interest accrued at a rate of 12 1 / 2 % and was payable wholly in cash and the Company no longer had an option to pay any portion of its interest through the issuance of PIK Notes. During the period the PIK Election was in effect, the interest paid in cash and the interest paid-in-kind (“PIK”) by issuance of additional 12 1 / 2 %/15% Senior Subordinated Notes due May 2016 (“PIK Notes”) accrued for such quarterly period at 6.0% cash per annum and 9.0% PIK per annum.
 
The indenture that governs the 2020 Notes also contains covenants that restrict, among other things, the ability of the Company to incur additional debt, purchase common 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.
 
TV One Senior Secured Notes
 
TV One issued $119.0 million in senior secured notes on February 25, 2011. The notes were issued in connection with the repurchase of its equity interest from certain financial investors and TV One management. The notes bear interest at 10.0% per annum, which is payable monthly, and the entire principal amount is due on March 15, 2016.
   
The Company conducts a portion of its business through its subsidiaries. Certain of the Company’s subsidiaries had fully and unconditionally guaranteed the Company’s obligations under the 2020 Notes and the 2011 Credit Agreement, as amended.

Credit Rating Agencies
 
Our corporate credit ratings by Standard & Poor's Rating Services and Moody's Investors Service are speculative-grade and have been downgraded and upgraded at various times during the last several years. Any reductions in our credit ratings could increase our borrowing costs, reduce the availability of financing to us or increase our cost of doing business or otherwise negatively impact our business operations.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
 
Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 - Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of the consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. We prepare our consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, which require us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the year. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In Management’s Discussion and Analysis contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, we summarized the policies and estimates that we believe to be most critical in understanding the judgments involved in preparing our financial statements and the uncertainties that could affect our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. There have been no material changes to our existing accounting policies or estimates since we filed our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.  
 
Goodwill and Radio Broadcasting Licenses
 
Impairment Testing
 
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 March 31, 2014, we had approximately $666.8 million in broadcast licenses and $274.7 million in goodwill, which totaled $941.5 million, and represented approximately 66.9% of our total assets. Therefore, we believe estimating the fair value of goodwill and radio broadcasting licenses is a critical accounting estimate because of the significance of their carrying values in relation to our total assets. We did not record any impairment charges for the three months ended March 31, 2014. We recorded an impairment charge of approximately $1.4 million against our radio broadcasting licenses during the three months ended March 31, 2013.
 
We test for impairment annually, or when events or changes in circumstances or other conditions suggest impairment may have occurred. Our annual impairment testing is performed for assets owned as of October 1. Impairment exists when the carrying value of these assets exceeds its respective fair values, and the excess is then recorded to operations as an impairment charge. In testing for goodwill impairment, we follow a two-step approach, also relying primarily on 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 in accordance with ASC 805-10, “Business Combinations.” Any excess of carrying value of the reporting unit’s goodwill balance over its respective implied goodwill is written off as a charge to operations.
  
Valuation of Broadcasting Licenses
 
During the first quarter of 2014, the total market revenue growth for one of the markets in which we operate was below that used in our 2013 annual impairment testing. We deemed that to be an impairment indicator that warranted interim impairment testing of that market’s radio broadcasting licenses, which we performed as of March 31, 2014. There was no impairment identified as part of this testing. In addition, during the first quarter of 2013, the total market revenue growth for one of the markets in which we operate was below that used in our 2012 annual impairment testing. We deemed that to be an impairment indicator that warranted interim impairment testing of that market’s radio broadcasting licenses, which we performed as of March 31, 2013. The Company recorded an impairment charge of approximately $1.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2013, related to our Cincinnati FCC radio broadcasting licenses. There were no impairment indicators present for any of our other radio broadcasting licenses. Below are some of the key assumptions used in the income approach model for estimating broadcasting licenses fair values for the annual impairment assessment as of October 1, 2013, and interim impairment assessments for the quarters ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.

Valuation of Goodwill
 
During the first quarter of 2014, we identified an impairment indicator at one of our radio markets, and as such, we performed an interim analysis for certain radio market goodwill as of March 31, 2014. No goodwill impairment was noted during the three months ended March 31, 2014. We did not identify any impairment indicators for the three months ended March 31, 2013. Below are some of the key assumptions used in the income approach model for estimating reporting unit fair values for the annual impairment assessment as of October 1, 2013, and interim impairment assessment for the quarter ended March 31, 2014.
 
Goodwill (Radio Market	 	March 31,	 	 	October 1,

(a)   Reflects changes only to the key assumptions used in the interim testing for certain units of accounting.
(b)   Reflects the key assumptions for testing only those radio markets with remaining goodwill.
 
As part of our annual testing, when arriving at the estimated fair values for radio broadcasting licenses and goodwill, we also performed an analysis by comparing our overall average implied multiple based on our cash flow projections and fair values to recently completed sales transactions, and by comparing our fair value estimates to the market capitalization of the Company. The results of these comparisons confirmed that the fair value estimates resulting from our annual assessment for 2013 were reasonable.
 
Several of the licenses in our units of accounting have no or limited excess of fair values over their respective carrying values. Should our estimates, assumptions, or events or circumstances for any upcoming valuations worsen in the units with no or limited fair value cushion, additional license impairments may be needed in the future.
 
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
 
In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-02, which provides companies the option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired rather than calculating the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset. ASU 2012-02 is effective prospectively for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2013, and elected to not apply the qualitative assessment as allowed by ASU 2012-02.
 
42	

 	
 
In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02, “Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, ” which adds new disclosure requirements for items reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income. ASU 2013-02 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements, other than presentation and disclosure.
 
In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, “Income Taxes (Topic 740) Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists, ” which adds new disclosure requirements for taxes. ASU 2013-11 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.
 
CAPITAL AND COMMERICAL COMMITMENTS:
 
Radio Broadcasting Licenses

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 five years.
 
Reach Media Noncontrolling Interest Shareholders’ Put Rights
 
Beginning on February 28, 2012, the noncontrolling interest shareholders of Reach Media had an annual right to require Reach Media to purchase all or a portion of their shares at the then current fair market value for such shares (the “Put Right”).   Beginning in 2012, this annual right was exercisable for a 30-day period beginning February 28 of each year. The purchase price for such shares may be paid in cash and/or registered Class D Common Stock of Radio One, at the discretion of Radio One. On December 31, 2012, Reach Media and its noncontrolling interest shareholders amended the shareholder’s agreement governing their relationship. As part of that amendment, the noncontrolling interest shareholders agreed to delay the Put Right until January 1, 2018. The terms of the Put Right remain the same in all other respects.

Item 3:  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
 
For quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk affecting Radio One, see Item 7A: “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.  Our exposure related to market risk has not changed materially since December 31, 2013.
 
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 March 31, 2014, 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
 
Legal Proceedings
 
Radio One is involved from time to time in various routine legal and administrative proceedings and threatened legal and administrative proceedings incidental to the ordinary course of our business. Radio One believes the resolution of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition or results of operations.
 
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 for the year ended December 31, 2013 (the “2013 Annual Report”), which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results.

(or its permitted successor), a Delaware corporation (the “ Company ”), the Company, the other Guarantors (as defined in the Indenture referred to herein) and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee under the Indenture referred to below (the “ Trustee ”).
 
WITNESSETH
 
WHEREAS, the Company has heretofore executed and delivered to the Trustee an indenture (the “ Indenture ”), dated as of February 10, 2014 providing for the issuance of 9.25% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2020 (the “ Notes ”);
 
WHEREAS, the Indenture provides that under certain circumstances the Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture pursuant to which the Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall unconditionally guarantee all of the Company’s Obligations under the Notes and the Indenture on the terms and conditions set forth herein (the “ Note Guarantee ”); and
 
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Indenture, the Trustee is authorized to execute and deliver this Supplemental Indenture.
 
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the Guaranteeing Subsidiary and the Trustee mutually covenant and agree for the equal and ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes as follows:
 
1.	CAPITALIZED TERMS. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

Each Holder of Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes. The waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws.
 
4.	NEW YORK LAW TO GOVERN.
