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:
 
 	•	we are currently not in compliance with NASDAQ rules for continued listing of our Class A and Class D common shares;	

 	•	the effects of continued global economic weakness, credit and equity market volatility, 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 or finance other strategic transactions given fluctuations in market conditions;	

 	•	continued 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 and technologies;	
 
 	•	the impact of our acquisitions, dispositions and similar transactions; 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, 2011.	
 
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 operating 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 51.0% (see Note 3 — Acquisitions ) controlling ownership interest in TV One, LLC (“TV One”), an African-American targeted cable television network that we invested in with an affiliate of Comcast Corporation and other investors; our 53.5% ownership interest in Reach Media, Inc. (“Reach Media”), which operates the Tom Joyner Morning Show; our ownership of Interactive One, LLC (“Interactive One”), an online platform serving the African-American community through social content, news, information, and entertainment, which operates a number of branded sites, including News One, UrbanDaily and HelloBeautiful; and our ownership of Community Connect, LLC (formerly Community Connect Inc.) (“CCI”), an online social networking company, which operates a number of branded websites, including BlackPlanet, MiGente and Asian Avenue.  CCI is included within the operations of Interactive One. Through our national multi-media presence, we provide advertisers with a unique and powerful delivery mechanism to the African-American and urban audience.   

As of June 2011, our remaining Boston radio station was made the subject of a local marketing agreement (“LMA”) whereby we have made available, for a fee, air time on this station to another party. The remaining assets and liabilities of stations sold or stations that we do not operate that are the subject of an LMA, have been classified as discontinued operations as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011. Thus, the Boston station’s results from operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, have been classified as discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

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 for the Company’s four reportable segments: (i) Radio Broadcasting; (ii) Reach Media; (iii) Internet; and (iv) Cable Television (See Note 12 –  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 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

(c)  Financial Instruments
 
Financial instruments as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 consisted of cash and cash equivalents, investments, trade accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, note payable, long-term debt and redeemable noncontrolling interest. The carrying amounts approximated fair value for each of these financial instruments as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, except for the Company’s outstanding senior subordinated notes. The 6 3 / 8 % Senior Subordinated Notes due February 2013 had a carrying value of $747,000 and a fair value of approximately $545,000 as of June 30, 2012, and a carrying value of $747,000 and a fair value of approximately $710,000 as of December 31, 2011. The 12 1 / 2 %/15% Senior Subordinated Notes due May 2016 had a carrying value of approximately $327.0 million and a fair value of approximately $261.6 million as of June 30, 2012, and a carrying value of approximately $312.8 million and a fair value of approximately $262.2 million as of December 31, 2011. The fair values, classified as Level 2, were determined based on the trading values of these instruments as of the reporting date.

(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 and Reach Media segments, agency and outside sales representative commissions were approximately $9.2 million and $8.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Agency and outside sales representative commissions were approximately $16.4 million and $15.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Interactive One generates the majority of the Company’s internet revenue, and derives such revenue principally from advertising services, including advertising aimed at diversity recruiting. Advertising services include the sale of banner and sponsorship advertisements.  Advertising revenue is recognized either as impressions (the number of times advertisements appear in viewed pages) are delivered, when “click through” purchases or leads are reported, or ratably over the contract period, where applicable.

TV One, the driver of revenues in our Cable Television segment, derives advertising revenue from the sale of television air time to advertisers and recognizes revenue 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.

(e)  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 June 30, 2012 and 2011, barter transaction revenues were $711,000 and $761,000, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, barter transaction revenues were approximately $1.4 million and $1.6 million, respectively. Additionally, barter transaction costs were reflected in programming and technical expenses and selling, general and administrative expenses of $670,000 and $698,000 and $41,000 and $63,000, for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  For the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, barter transaction costs were reflected in programming and technical expenses and selling, general and administrative expenses of approximately $1.4 million and $1.5 million and $83,000 and $129,000, respectively.

(f) Earnings Per Share

        Basic earnings per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of shares of common stock 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 (in thousands, except share and per share data):

 	 	Three Months Ended
 June 30,	  	 	Six Months Ended
June 30,

Stock options and restricted stock	 	 	118,333	 	 	 	2,073,500	 	 	 	—	 	 	 	2,171,917	 	 	
    Denominator for diluted net income (loss) per share - weighted-average outstanding shares	 	 	50,124,418	 	 	 	52,905,060	 	 	 	49,997,752	 	 	 	53,646,473	 	 	
 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	
Net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders per share - basic 	 	$	0.85	 	 	$	1.94	 	 	$	(0.73	)	 	$	0.67	 	 	
Net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders per share - diluted 	 	$	0.85	 	 	$	1.86	 	 	$	(0.73	)	 	$	0.64	 	 	

All stock options and restricted stock awards were excluded from the diluted calculation for the six months ended June 30, 2012, as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.  The following table summarizes the potential common shares excluded from the diluted calculation.

 	(g) 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:
 
 	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. The fair value of Level 2 assets are based on quoted market prices for similar assets in active markets.	
 	 	
 	Level 3: Unobservable inputs reflecting management’s own assumptions about the inputs used in pricing the asset or liability.

  As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the fair values of our financial assets and liabilities are categorized as follows:

Redeemable noncontrolling interest (d)	$	20,343	 	$	—	 	$	—	 	$	20,343	
 	
(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. For the period ended June 30, 2012, the Company determined that there was no change in TV One’s fair market value since the December 31, 2011 valuation.	
 	
(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. 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. In calculating the fair value of the award, the Company determined that there was no change in TV One’s fair market value since the December 31, 2011 valuation (See Note 8 –  Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities .) The Company is currently in negotiations with the Company’s CEO for a new employment agreement. Until such time as his new employment agreement is executed, the terms of his April 2008 employment agreement remain in effect including eligibility for the TV One award.	
 	
(d)  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 calculating the fair value. Inputs to the discounted cash flow analysis include forecasted operating results, discount rate and a terminal value.

        Any significant increases or decreases in significant 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 and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, and therefore, these assets were reported at carrying value as opposed to fair value.  The Company recorded impairment of $313,000 related to our Charlotte radio broadcasting licenses during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012.

 	 (h) Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements	
 
In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, which provides a consistent definition of fair value and ensures that the fair value measurement and disclosure requirements are similar between GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. ASU 2011-04 changes certain fair value measurement principles and enhances the disclosure requirements particularly for level 3 fair value measurements. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2012, and it did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, which provides companies with an option to perform a qualitative assessment that may allow them to skip the two-step impairment test.  ASU 2011-08 amends existing guidance by giving an entity the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If this is the case, companies will need to perform a more detailed two-step goodwill impairment test which is used to identify potential goodwill impairments and to measure the amount of goodwill impairment losses to be recognized, if any. ASU 2011-08 is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2012 and it did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income,” which was subsequently modified in December 2011 by ASU 2011-12, “ Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05 .” This ASU amends existing presentation and disclosure requirements concerning comprehensive income, most significantly by requiring that comprehensive income be presented with net income in a continuous financial statement, or in a separate but consecutive financial statement. The provisions of this ASU (as modified) are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements, other than presentation and disclosure.
 
(i) Liquidity and Uncertainties Related to Going Concern

On March 31, 2011, the Company entered into a new senior credit facility (the “2011 Credit Agreement”).  Under the 2011 Credit Agreement, beginning June 30, 2011, the Company became required to maintain compliance with certain financial ratios (as detailed in Note 9   —  Long-Term Debt  below).  Based on our current projections, we expect to be in compliance with these financial ratios and other covenants over the next twelve months.   

 (j) Redeemable noncontrolling interest

Redeemable noncontrolling interest is an interest in a subsidiary that is redeemable outside of the Company’s control either for cash or other assets.  This interest is 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 and government sponsored enterprise mortgage-backed securities.

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.

Debt 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.

14

 
 
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 other comprehensive loss.

For fixed maturity securities where fair value is less than amortized cost, and where the securities are not deemed to be credit-impaired, the Company has asserted that it has no intent to sell and that it believes it is more likely than not that it will not be required to sell the investment before recovery of its amortized cost basis.  If such an assertion had not been made, the security’s decline in fair value would be deemed to be other than temporary and the entire difference between fair value and amortized cost would be recognized in the statements of income.

For fixed maturity securities, a critical component of the evaluation for OTTI is the identification of credit-impaired securities, where the Company does not expect to receive cash flows sufficient to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the security. The difference between the present value of projected future cash flows expected to be collected and the amortized cost basis is recognized as credit-related OTTI in the statements of income.  If fair value is less than the present value of projected future cash flows expected to be collected, the portion of OTTI related to other than credit factors is reduced in accumulated other comprehensive income.

In order to determine the amount of credit loss for a fixed maturity security, the Company calculates the recovery value by performing a discounted cash flow analysis based on the present value of future cash flows expected to be received.  The discount rate is generally the effective interest rate of the fixed maturity security prior to impairment.

When determining the collectability and the period over which the fixed maturity security is expected to recover, the Company considers the same factors utilized in its overall impairment evaluation process described above.

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 treasury securities 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) Launch Support

TV One has entered into certain affiliate agreements requiring various payments by TV One for launch support.  Launch assets are assets used to initiate carriage under new affiliation agreements and are amortized over the term of the respective contracts.  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 3.6 years.  For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, launch asset amortization of approximately $2.4 million and $4.9 million, respectively, was recorded as a reduction in revenue.  For each of the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011, launch amortization of approximately $2.1 million was recorded as a reduction in revenue.
 
(m) Content Assets

TV One has entered into contracts to acquire entertainment programming rights and programs from distributors and producers.  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 an additional $508,000 of amortization expense as a result of evaluating its contracts for recoverability for the three months ended June 30, 2012. 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 as it is classified as a current asset.

2. RESTATEMENT OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS:

In its previously filed consolidated financial statements, the Company improperly classified cash payments for TV One content assets as investing activities rather than operating activities in its consolidated statements of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2011 and all interim periods within that year after the first quarter of 2011 and the three month period ended March 31, 2012. The classification errors had no effect on the reported changes in cash and cash equivalents in any period, and also had no effect on the consolidated balance sheets, the consolidated statements of operations, or the consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity for any period. The reclassification adjustment will decrease cash flows from operating activities and increase cash flows from investing activities by approximately $10.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, by approximately $23.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 and by approximately $2.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011.

The following table summarizes the effects of the restatement adjustments on the consolidated statements of cash flows (in thousands):

3.  ACQUISITIONS:

On February 25, 2011, TV One completed a privately placed debt offering of $119 million (the “Redemption Financing”). The Redemption Financing is structured as senior secured notes bearing a 10% coupon and due in 2016.  Subsequently, on February 28, 2011, TV One utilized $82.4 million of the Redemption Financing to repurchase 15.4% of its outstanding membership interests from certain of its financial investors and 2.0% of its outstanding membership interests held by TV One management (representing approximately 50% of interests held by management).  Beginning on April 14, 2011, the Company began to account for TV One on a consolidated basis after having executed an amendment to the TV One operating agreement with the remaining members of TV One concerning certain governance issues.  The Company’s preliminary purchase price allocation consisted of approximately $61.2 million to current assets, $39.0 million to launch assets, $2.4 million to fixed assets, $204.1 million to indefinite-lived intangibles (goodwill and TV One brand), $287.3 million to definite-lived intangibles (content assets, acquired advertising contracts, advertiser relationships, affiliation agreements, etc.), $225.7 million to liabilities (including the $119.0 million in debt discussed above) and $203.0 million in noncontrolling interests.  In accordance with accounting standards applicable to business combinations, the Company recorded the assets and liabilities of TV One at fair value as of April 14, 2011. The Company recognized an after-tax gain of approximately $146.9 million during the second quarter of 2011 associated with the transaction. The gain is computed as the difference between the carrying value of the Company’s investment in TV One prior to date of consolidation and the fair value of the Company’s interest in TV One as of the consolidation date. Finally, on April 25, 2011, TV One utilized the balance of the Redemption Financing to repurchase 12.4% of its outstanding membership interests from DIRECTV.  These redemptions by TV One increased the Company’s ownership interest in TV One from 36.8% to approximately 50.9% as of April 25, 2011. Subsequent to April 2011, our ownership in TV One increased to approximately 51.0% after a redemption of certain management interests.

The following unaudited pro forma summary presents consolidated information of the Company as if the consolidation of TV One had occurred on January 1, 2011. The pro forma financial information gives effect to the Company’s consolidation of TV One by the application of the pro forma adjustments to the historical consolidated financial statements of the Company.  Such unaudited pro forma financial information is based on the historical financial statements of the Company and TV One and certain adjustments, which the Company believes to be reasonable based on current available information, to give effect to these transactions.  Pro forma adjustments were made from January 1, 2011 up to the date of the consolidation with the actual results reflected thereafter in the pro forma financial information.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial data does not purport to represent what the Company’s results of operations actually would have been if the consolidation of TV One had occurred on January 1, 2011, or what such results will be for any future periods.  The actual results in the periods following the consolidation date may differ significantly from that reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial data for a number of reasons including, but not limited to, differences between the assumptions used to prepare the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial data and the actual amounts.

The financial information of TV One has been derived from the historical financial statements of TV One, which were prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Unaudited adjustments have been made to adjust the results of TV One to reflect additional amortization expense that would have been incurred assuming the fair value adjustments to intangible assets as well as additional interest expense on the debt assumed had been applied from January 1, 2011, as well as additional pro forma adjustments, to give effect to these transactions occurring on January 1, 2011.

4.  DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS:

As of June 2011, our remaining Boston radio station was made the subject of an LMA whereby we have made available, for a fee, air time on this station to another party. The remaining assets and liabilities of stations sold or stations that we do not operate that are the subject of an LMA, have been classified as discontinued operations as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011. Thus, stations sold or stations that we do not operate that are the subject of an LMA results from operations for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, have been classified as discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
 
   The following table summarizes the operating results for all of the stations sold or stations that we do not operate that are the subject of an LMA and are classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented:

5.  GOODWILL AND RADIO BROADCASTING LICENSES:

Impairment Testing

In the past, we have made acquisitions whereby a significant amount of the purchase price was allocated to radio broadcasting licenses, goodwill and other intangible assets. In accordance with ASC 350,  “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other,”  we do not amortize our 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
 
We utilize the services of a third-party valuation firm to provide independent analysis when evaluating the fair value of our radio broadcasting licenses and reporting units. Fair value is estimated to be the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. We use the income approach to test for impairment of radio broadcasting licenses. A projection period of 10 years is used, as that is the time horizon in which operators and investors generally expect to recover their investments. When evaluating our radio broadcasting licenses for impairment, the testing is done at the unit of accounting level as determined by ASC 350,  “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other.”  In our case, each unit of accounting is a clustering of radio stations into one of the 15 geographical radio markets that we own and/or operate.  Broadcasting license fair values are based on the estimated after-tax discounted future cash flows of the applicable unit of accounting assuming an initial hypothetical start-up operation which possesses FCC licenses as the only asset. Over time, it is assumed the operation acquires other tangible assets such as advertising and programming contracts, employment agreements and going concern value, and matures into an average performing operation in a specific radio market. The income approach model incorporates several variables, including, but not limited to: (i) radio market revenue estimates and growth projections; (ii) estimated market share and revenue for the hypothetical participant; (iii) likely media competition within the market; (iv) estimated start-up costs and losses incurred in the early years; (v) estimated profit margins and cash flows based on market size and station type; (vi) anticipated capital expenditures; (vii) probable future terminal values; (viii) an effective tax rate assumption; and (ix) a discount rate based on the weighted-average cost of capital for the radio broadcast industry. In calculating the discount rate, we considered: (i) the cost of equity, which includes estimates of the risk-free return, the long-term market return, small stock risk premiums and industry beta; (ii) the cost of debt, which includes estimates for corporate borrowing rates and tax rates; and (iii) estimated average percentages of equity and debt in capital structures. Since our annual October 2011 assessment, we have not made any changes to the methodology for valuing broadcasting licenses.

During the second quarter of 2012, the total market revenue growth for certain markets was below that used in our 2011 annual impairment testing. We deemed this shortfall to be an impairment indicator that warranted interim impairment testing of certain of our radio broadcasting licenses, which we performed as of June 30, 2012. The Company recorded an impairment charge of $313,000 related to our Charlotte radio broadcasting licenses.  The remaining radio broadcasting licenses that were tested during the second quarter of 2012 were not impaired. Below are some of the key assumptions used in the income approach model for estimating broadcasting licenses fair values for all annual and interim impairment assessments performed since January 2011.

Valuation of Goodwill

The impairment testing of goodwill is performed at the reporting unit level. In testing for the impairment of goodwill, with the assistance of a third-party valuation firm, we primarily rely on the income approach. The approach involves a 10-year model with similar variables as described above for broadcasting licenses, except that the discounted cash flows are generally based on the Company’s estimated and projected market revenue, market share and operating performance for its reporting units, instead of those for a hypothetical participant. We follow a two-step process to evaluate if a potential impairment exists for goodwill. The first step of the process involves estimating the fair value of each reporting unit. If the reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying value, a second step is performed as per the guidance of ASC 805-10,  “Business Combinations,”  to allocate the fair value of the reporting unit to the individual assets and liabilities of the reporting unit in order to determine the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill as of the impairment assessment date. Any excess of the carrying value of the goodwill over the implied fair value of the goodwill is written off as a charge to operations. Since our annual assessment, we have not made any changes to the methodology of valuing or allocating goodwill when determining the carrying values of the radio markets, Reach Media, Interactive One or TV One.

Below are some of the key assumptions used in the income approach model for estimating the fair value for Reach Media for all interim, annual and year end assessments since January 2011. When compared to the discount rates used for assessing radio market reporting units, the higher discount rates used in these assessments reflect a premium for a riskier and broader media business, with a heavier concentration and significantly higher amount of programming content related intangible assets that are highly dependent on the on-air personality Tom Joyner. With the assistance of a third-party valuation firm, the Company assessed the fair value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest in Reach Media at June 30, 2012. Upon review of the results of the interim and year-end impairment tests, and quarter-end assessment, the Company concluded that the carrying value of goodwill attributable to Reach Media had not been impaired.

 6.  INVESTMENT IN AFFILIATED COMPANY:

In January 2004, the Company, together with an affiliate of Comcast Corporation and other investors, launched TV One, an entity formed to operate a cable television network featuring lifestyle, entertainment and news-related programming targeted primarily towards African-American viewers. At that time, we committed to make a cumulative cash investment of $74.0 million in TV One, of which $60.3 million had been funded as of April 30, 2007. Since December 31, 2006, the initial four year commitment period for funding the capital had been extended on a quarterly basis due in part to TV One’s lower than anticipated capital needs. In connection with the Redemption Financing (as defined in Note 3 —  Acquisitions ), we funded our remaining capital commitment amount of approximately $13.7 million on April 19, 2011 and currently anticipate no further capital commitment. In December 2004, TV One entered into a distribution agreement with DIRECTV and certain affiliates of DIRECTV became investors in TV One.

On February 25, 2011, TV One completed its $119 million Redemption Financing. The Redemption Financing is structured as senior secured notes bearing a 10% coupon and is due in 2016.  Subsequently, on February 28, 2011, TV One utilized $82.4 million of the Redemption Financing to repurchase 15.4% of its outstanding membership interests from certain financial investors and 2.0% of its outstanding membership interests held by TV One management (representing approximately 50% of interests held by management).  Beginning on April 14, 2011, the Company began to account for TV One on a consolidated basis after having executed an amendment to the TV One operating agreement with the remaining members of TV One concerning certain governance issues.  Finally, on April 25, 2011, TV One utilized the balance of the Redemption Financing to repurchase 12.4% of its outstanding membership interests from DIRECTV. These redemptions by TV One, increased the Company’s holding in TV One from 36.8% to approximately 50.9% as of April 25, 2011. Subsequent to April 2011, our ownership in TV One increased to approximately 51.0% after a further redemption of certain management interests.

Prior to the consolidation date, the Company recorded its investment at cost and had adjusted its carrying amount of the investment to recognize the change in the Company’s claim on the net assets of TV One resulting from operating income or losses of TV One as well as other capital transactions of TV One using a hypothetical liquidation at book value approach. On April 14, 2011, the Company began to account for TV One on a consolidated basis and the basis of the assets and liabilities of TV One at that date were recorded at fair value. For the three months and six months June 30, 2011, the Company’s allocable share of TV One’s operating income was $208,000 and approximately $3.3 million, respectively. 
 
We entered into separate network services and advertising services agreements with TV One in 2003. Under the network services agreement, we provided TV One with administrative and operational support services and access to Radio One personalities. In consideration of providing these services, we received equity in TV One, and received an annual cash fee of $500,000 for providing services under the network services agreement.  The network services agreement, originally scheduled to expire in January 2009 was extended to January 2011, at which time it expired.

Under an advertising services agreement, we provided a specified amount of advertising to TV One. Prior to the consolidation date, the Company was accounting for the services provided to TV One under the advertising services agreement in accordance with ASC 505-50-30, “ Equity .”  As services were provided to TV One, the Company recorded revenue based on the fair value of the most reliable unit of measurement in these transactions. The most reliable unit of measurement had been determined to be the value of underlying advertising time that was provided to TV One. The Company recognized $501,000 in revenue relating to this agreement for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and $874,000 in revenue relating to this agreement for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The advertising services agreement was also originally scheduled to expire in January 2009 and was extended to January 2011, at which time it expired. However, we entered into a new advertising services agreement with TV One with an effective date of January 2011. Under the new advertising services agreement, we (i) provide advertising services to TV One on certain of our media properties and (ii) act as media placement agent for TV One in certain instances. In return for such services, TV One pays us for such advertising time and services and, where we act as media placement agent, pays us a media placement fee equal to the lesser of 15% of media placement costs or a market rate, in addition to reimbursing us (or paying in advance) for all actual costs associated with the media placement services.

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 June 30, 2012.

The amortized cost and estimated fair value of debt securities at June 30, 2012, by contractual maturity, are shown below. Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities of mortgage-backed securities because borrowers have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

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:

8.  DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES:

  ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging,” establishes disclosure requirements related to derivative instruments and hedging activities with the intent to provide users of financial statements with an enhanced understanding of: (i) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments; (ii) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for and its related interpretations; and (iii) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. ASC 815 requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about the fair value of gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative instruments.

The fair values and the presentation of the Company’s derivative instruments in the consolidated balance sheets are as follows:

Hedging Activities
 
In June 2005, pursuant to our Previous Credit Agreement (as defined in Note 9 — Long-Term Debt), the Company entered into four fixed rate swap agreements to reduce interest rate fluctuations on certain floating rate debt commitments. One of the four $25.0 million swap agreements expired in each of June 2007 and 2008, and 2010, respectively. The remaining $25.0 million swap agreement was terminated on March 31, 2011 in conjunction with the March 31, 2011 retirement of our Previous Credit Agreement.  We have no swap agreements in connection with our current credit facilities.
  
Each swap agreement had been accounted for as a qualifying cash flow hedge of the Company’s senior bank debt, in accordance with ASC 815 ,   “Derivatives and Hedging,”  whereby changes in the fair market value are reflected as adjustments to the fair value of the derivative instruments as reflected on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

The Company’s objectives in using interest rate swaps were to manage interest rate risk associated with the Company’s floating rate debt commitments and to add stability to future cash flows. To accomplish this objective, the Company used interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy.  Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. 
 
The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and qualifying as cash flow hedges was recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss and subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with existing floating rate debt commitments.  The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives, if any, was recognized directly in earnings.

Amounts reported in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss related to derivatives were reclassified to interest expense as interest payments were made on the Company’s floating rate debt.
 
Under the swap agreements, the Company paid a fixed rate. The counterparties to the agreements paid the Company a floating interest rate based on the three month LIBOR, for which measurement and settlement is performed quarterly. The counterparties to these agreements were international financial institutions.
 
Other Derivative Instruments

The Company recognizes all derivatives at fair value, whether designated in hedging relationships or not, on the balance sheet as either an asset or liability. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, depends on the intended use of the derivative and the resulting designation. If the derivative is designated as a fair value hedge, the changes in the fair value of the derivative and the hedged item are recognized in the statement of operations. If the derivative is designated as a cash flow hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivative are recorded in other comprehensive income and are recognized in the statement of operations when the hedged item affects net income. If a derivative does not qualify as a hedge, it is marked to fair value through the statement of operations. 

As of June 30, 2012, 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 reassessed the estimated fair value of the award at June 30, 2012 to be approximately $11.0 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 Company is currently in negotiations with the Company’s CEO for a new employment agreement. Until such time as his new employment agreement is executed, the terms of his April 2008 employment agreement remain in effect including eligibility for the TV One award.

Credit Facilities

March 2011 Refinancing Transaction

On March 31, 2011, the Company entered into a new 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.

In accordance with the 2011 Credit Agreement, the calculations for the ratios above do not include the operating results and related debt of Reach Media and TV One.

As of June 30, 2012, the Company was in compliance with all of its financial covenants under the 2011 Credit Agreement.  
 
Under the terms of the 2011 Credit Agreement, 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. Commencing on June 30, 2011, quarterly installments of 0.25%, or $960,000, of the principal balance on the $386.0 million term loan are payable on the last day of each March, June, September and December.
 
As of June 30, 2012, the Company had approximately $23.9 million of borrowing capacity under its revolving credit facility. After taking into consideration the financial covenants under the 2011 Credit Agreement, approximately $19.3 million was available to be borrowed.

As of June 30, 2012, the Company had outstanding approximately $379.2 million on its term credit facility. During the quarter ended June 30, 2012, the Company repaid its quarterly installment of approximately $1.0 million under the 2011 Credit Agreement. In addition, on April 13, 2012, the Company made an approximately $2.0 million term loan principal repayment based on its December 31, 2011 excess cash flow calculation according to the terms of the 2011 Credit Agreement. 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.

Senior Subordinated Notes

Period after the March 2011 Refinancing Transaction
 
As of June 30, 2012, the Company had outstanding $747,000 of its 63/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due February 2013 and approximately $327.0 million of our 12 1 / 2 %/15% Senior Subordinated Notes due May 2016. The 12 1 / 2 %/15% Senior Subordinated Notes due May 2016 had a carrying value of approximately $327.0 million and a fair value of approximately $261.6 million as of June 30, 2012, and the 6 3 / 8 % Senior Subordinated Notes due February 2013 had a carrying value of $747,000 and a fair value of $545,000 as of June 30, 2012. The fair values were determined based on the trading value of the instruments as of the reporting date.
 
Interest payments under the terms of the 63/8% Senior Subordinated Notes are due in February and August.  Based on the $747,000 principal balance of the 6 3 / 8 % Senior Subordinated Notes outstanding on June 30, 2012, interest payments of $24,000 are payable each February and August through February 2013.
 
Interest on the 121/2%/15% Senior Subordinated Notes is 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 only with respect to interest accruing up to but not including May 15, 2012, and with respect to interest accruing from and after May 15, 2012 such interest accrues at a rate of 12 1 / 2 % and is payable in cash.
 
Interest on the Exchange Notes will accrue from the date of original issuance or, if interest has already been paid, from the date it was most recently paid.  Interest will accrue for each quarterly period at a rate of 12 1 / 2 % if the interest for such quarterly period is paid fully in cash.  In the event of a PIK Election, including the PIK Election that was in effect through May 15, 2012, the interest paid in cash and the interest paid-in-kind by issuance of additional Exchange Notes (“PIK Notes”) accrued for such quarterly period at 6.0% cash per annum and 9.0% PIK per annum.
 
In the absence of an election for any interest period, interest on the Exchange Notes shall be payable according to the election for the previous interest period, provided that interest accruing from and after May 15, 2012 shall accrue at a rate of 12 1 / 2 % and shall be payable in cash. A PIK Election remained in effect through May 15, 2012. After May 15, 2012, interest accrues at a rate of 12 1 / 2 % and is payable wholly in cash and the Company no longer has an option to pay any portion of its interest through the issuance of PIK Notes.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2012, the Company paid cash interest in the amount of approximately $15.5 million and issued approximately $7.2 million of additional 12 1 / 2 %/15% Senior Subordinated Notes in accordance with the PIK Election that is currently in effect. During the six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company paid cash interest in the amount of approximately $31.0 million and issued approximately $14.2 million of additional 12 1 / 2 %/15% Senior Subordinated Notes in accordance with the PIK Election that is currently in effect.
 
The indentures governing the Company’s 121/2%/15% Senior Subordinated Notes also contain 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.
 
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 12 1 / 2 %/15% Senior Subordinated Notes, the 6 3 / 8 % Senior Subordinated Notes and the Company’s obligations under the 2011 Credit Agreement.
Senior Secured Notes
 
      In connection with the Redemption Financing, 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.

Note Payable
 
In November 2009, Reach Media issued a $1.0 million, 7% promissory note in connection with the repurchase of certain of its common stock held by a minority shareholder, a subsidiary of Cumulus (formerly Citadel).  The note was due and paid on December 30, 2011.

10.  INCOME TAXES:

The Company recorded a tax expense of approximately $16.8 million on a pre-tax loss from continuing operations of approximately $12.0 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2012 based on the actual effective tax rate as of June 30, 2012.  This is a change from the method used for the period ended March 31, 2012 which was based on the estimated annual effective tax rate.  The Company estimates a range of possible outcomes due to the proportion of deferred tax expense from indefinite-lived intangibles over operating income.  Thus, the Company believes the actual effective rate best represents the estimated effective rate for the six months ended June 30, 2012 in accordance with ASC 740-270,  "Interim Reporting."

As of June 30, 2012, the Company continues to maintain a full valuation allowance for entities other than Reach Media for its net deferred tax assets, but excludes deferred tax liabilities related to indefinite-lived intangibles.  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 June 30, 2012, 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.

During 2011, the consolidation of TV One included an adjustment to the deferred tax liability related to the partnership investment in TV One. The Company evaluated the deferred tax liability and concluded that a portion will not reverse within the requisite period since it relates to indefinite-lived assets and cannot be offset against deferred tax assets.  This item generated a tax expense of $268,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2012.  The deferred tax liability on the indefinite-lived intangible assets of Radio One generated a tax expense of approximately $16.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The remaining portion of the tax expense or benefit primarily consists of Radio One state taxes of $178,000 which were offset by a tax benefit from Reach Media of $625,000.

11.  STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY: 

 Stock Repurchase Program
 
In April 2011, the Company’s board of directors authorized a repurchase of shares of the Company’s Class A and Class D common stock (the “2011 Repurchase Authorization”). Under the 2011 Repurchase Authorization, the Company is authorized, but is not obligated, to repurchase up to $15 million worth of its Class A and/or Class D common stock prior to April 13, 2013.  Repurchases will 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 expects to implement this stock repurchase program in a manner consistent with market conditions and the interests of the stockholders, including maximizing stockholder value.  During the six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company did not repurchase any Class A Common Stock or Class D Common Stock.
 
Stock Option and Restricted Stock Grant Plan

Under the Company’s 1999 Stock Option and Restricted Stock Grant Plan (“Plan”), the Company had the authority to issue up to 10,816,198 shares of Class D common stock and 1,408,099 shares of Class A common stock. The Plan expired March 10, 2009. The options previously issued under this plan are exercisable in installments determined by the compensation committee of the Company’s board of directors at the time of grant. These options expire as determined by the compensation committee, but no later than ten years from the date of the grant. The Company uses an average life for all option awards. The Company settles stock options upon exercise by issuing stock.

A new 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 terms of the 2009 Stock Plan are substantially similar to the prior Plan. The Company has the authority to issue up to 8,250,000 shares of Class D common stock under the 2009 Stock Plan. As of June 30, 2012, 4,874,872 shares of Class D common stock were available for grant under the 2009 Stock Plan.

In December 2009, the compensation committee and the non-executive members of the Board of Directors approved a long-term incentive plan (the “2009 LTIP”) for certain “key” employees of the Company. The 2009 LTIP is comprised of 3,250,000 shares (the “LTIP Shares”) of the 2009 Stock Plan’s 8,250,000 shares of Class D common stock. Awards of the LTIP Shares were granted in the form of restricted stock and allocated among 31 employees of the Company, including the named executive officers. The named executive officers were allocated LTIP Shares as follows: (i) Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) (1.0 million shares); (ii) the Chairperson (300,000 shares); (iii) the Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) (225,000 shares); (iv) the Chief Administrative Officer (“CAO”) (225,000 shares); and (v) the former President of the Radio Division (“PRD”) (130,000 shares). The remaining 1,370,000 shares were allocated among 26 other “key” employees. All awards will vest in three installments.  The awards were granted effective January 5, 2010 and the first installment of 33% vested on June 5, 2010, the second installment vested on June 5, 2011. The third installment was originally scheduled to vest on June 5, 2012 but upon determination by the compensation committee was accelerated to vest on November 19, 2011.  Pursuant to the terms of the 2009 Stock Plan, subject to the Company’s insider trading policy, a portion of each recipient’s vested shares may be sold into the open market for employee tax withholding purposes on or about the vesting dates.

The Company follows the provisions under ASC 718, “Compensation - Stock Compensation,” using the modified prospective method, which requires measurement of compensation cost for all stock-based awards at fair value on date of grant and recognition of compensation over the service period for awards expected to vest. These stock-based awards do not participate in dividends until fully vested. The fair value of stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes (“BSM”) valuation model.   Such fair value is recognized as an expense over the service period, net of estimated forfeitures, using the straight-line method. Estimating the number of stock awards that will ultimately vest requires judgment, and to the extent actual forfeitures differ substantially from our current estimates, amounts will be recorded as a cumulative adjustment in the period the estimated number of stock awards are revised. We consider many factors when estimating expected forfeitures, including the types of awards, employee classification and historical experience. Actual forfeitures may differ substantially from our current estimate.

30

 
 
The Company also uses the BSM valuation model to calculate the fair value of stock-based awards. The BSM incorporates various assumptions including volatility, expected life, and interest rates. For options granted, the Company uses the BSM option-pricing model and determines: (i) the term by using the simplified “plain-vanilla” method as allowed under SAB No. 110; (ii) a historical volatility over a period commensurate with the expected term, with the observation of the volatility on a daily basis; and (iii) a risk-free interest rate that was consistent with the expected term of the stock options and based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant.

Stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 was $46,000 and approximately $1.2 million, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 was $90,000 and approximately $2.1 million, respectively.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company granted 66,845 and 181,520 stock options, respectively. There were no stock options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2012.

The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the difference between the Company’s stock closing price on the last day of trading during the six months ended June 30, 2012 and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of shares that would have been received by the holders of in-the-money options had all the option holders exercised their options on June 30, 2012. This amount changes based on the fair market value of the Company’s stock. There were no options exercised during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011. The number of options that vested during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 were 79,292 and 656,079 and 95,064 and 53,124, respectively.

As of June 30, 2012, $49,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 11 months. The stock option weighted-average fair value per share was $3.48 at June 30, 2012.

The Company did not grant shares of restricted stock during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011.

Transactions and other information relating to restricted stock grants for the six months ended June 30, 2012 are summarized below:

13.  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:

The Company’s CEO and Chairperson own a music company called Music One, Inc. (“Music One”). The Company sometimes engages in promoting the recorded music product of Music One. Based on the cross-promotional value received by the Company, we believe that the provision of such promotion is fair.  During the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, Radio One paid $37,000 and $1,000 and $37,000 and $0, respectively, to or on behalf of Music One, primarily for market talent event appearances, travel reimbursement and sponsorships. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company provided advertising services to Music One in the amounts of $0 and $1,000, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company provided no advertising services to Music One.

15.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:

Royalty Agreements

Effective December 31, 2009, our radio music license agreements with the two largest performance rights organizations, American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (“ASCAP”) and Broadcast Music, Inc. (“BMI”) expired. The Radio Music License Committee (“RMLC”), which negotiates music licensing fees for most of the radio industry with ASCAP and BMI, at that time, reached an agreement with these organizations on a temporary fee schedule that reflected a provisional discount of 7.0% against 2009 fee levels. The temporary fee reductions became effective in January 2010. In May 2010 and June 2010, the U.S. District Court’s judge charged with determining the licenses fees ruled to further reduce interim fees paid to ASCAP and BMI, respectively, down approximately another 11.0% from the previous temporary fees negotiated with the RMLC. In January 2012, the U.S. District Court approved a settlement between RMLC and ASCAP.  The settlement determines the amount to be paid to ASCAP for usage through 2016. In addition, stations will receive a credit for overpayments made in 2010 and 2011 to ASCAP. In June 2012, RMLC and BMI reached a settlement agreement.  The settlement covers the period through 2016 and determines a new fee structure based on percentage of revenue.  In addition, stations will receive a credit for overpayments made in 2010 and 2011 to BMI.

The Company has entered into other fixed and variable fee music license agreements with other performance rights organizations, which expire as late as December 2016. In connection with these agreements,  the Company incurred expenses of approximately $2.6 million and $5.4 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2012, respectively, and approximately $3.5 million and $6.3 million, respectively, for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011.

Other Contingencies

The Company has been named as a defendant in several legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. It is management’s opinion, after consultation with its legal counsel, that the outcome of these claims will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
As of June 30, 2012, we had four standby letters of credit totaling approximately $1.1 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 have 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.   Beginning in 2012, this annual right can be exercised 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. As a result, our ability to fund business operations, new acquisitions or new business initiatives could be limited. The noncontrolling interest shareholders of Reach Media did not exercise their right during the 30-day period that ended March 29, 2012. However, we have no assurances that they will or will not exercise their rights in future years.

16.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS:
 
  As of July 18, 2012, we entered into a local marketing agreement (“LMA”) with Gaffney Broadcasting, Incorporated (“Gaffney”). Pursuant to the LMA, beginning as of August 27, 2012, we are permitted to broadcast programs produced, owned or acquired by Radio One on Gaffney’s Gaffney, South Carolina radio station, WNOW-FM. We are required to pay certain operating costs of WNOW-FM, and in exchange we will retain all revenues from the sale of the advertising within the programming we provide. The LMA continues for 18 months or until consummation of certain related transactions under a stock purchase agreement (the “SPA”) with the stockholders of Gaffney.  The closing of the transactions under the SPA are subject to certain conditions including but not limited to approval by the Federal Communications Commission (the “FCC”) of the transfer of Gaffney’s FCC licenses.
 
   On July 13, 2012, the Company received notification (the “Class D Notification”) from the NASDAQ Stock Markets (“NASDAQ”) that for the 30 consecutive business days prior to July 13, 2012, the bid price of the Company’s Class D common stock had closed below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement for continued listing under Marketplace Rule 5450(a)(1). As such, the Company’s Class D common stock had become non-compliant with NASDAQ’s continued listing requirements.  In accordance with NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has a grace period of 180 calendar days, or until January 9, 2013, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. To regain compliance, the closing bid price of the Company’s Class D common stock must meet or exceed $1.00 per share for at least ten consecutive business days during this 180-day grace period.  If the Company does not regain compliance by January 9, 2013, NASDAQ will provide written notification that the Company’s Class D common stock will be delisted.  However, the Company may apply to transfer its Class D common stock to the NASDAQ Capital Market.   If its application is approved, NASDAQ will afford the Company a second 180 calendar day compliance period in order to regain compliance while on the NASDAQ Capital Market.  If the Company does not regain compliance after such additional compliance period, NASDAQ will provide written notification that the Company’s Class D common stock will be delisted.  The Class D Notification did not impact upon the Company’s Class A common stock.
 
  On July 26, 2012, the Company received notification (the “Class A Notification”) from NASDAQ that for the 30 consecutive business days prior to July 26, 2012, the bid price of the Company’s Class A common stock had closed below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement for continued listing. As such, the Company’s Class A common stock had become non-compliant with NASDAQ’s continued listing requirements.  As with the Company’s Class D common stock, the Company has a grace period of 180 calendar days, or until January 22, 2013, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. To regain compliance, the closing bid price of the Company’s Class A common stock must meet or exceed $1.00 per share for at least ten consecutive business days during this 180-day grace period.  If the Company does not regain compliance by January 22, 2013, NASDAQ will provide written notification that the Company’s Class A common stock will be delisted.  However, the Company may apply for an additional grace period if it meets all of the criteria for continued listing other than the minimum closing bid price at the time of application for the additional grace period. If the Company then fails to regain compliance within the additional grace period permitted by the NASDAQ Capital Market, the Company’s Class A common stock will be subject to delisting by NASDAQ.
 
  The Company will consider available options to resolve the noncompliance with the minimum bid price requirement for both the Class A and Class D common stock, including but not limited to the implementation of a reverse stock split. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirements or other NASDAQ listing criteria for either class of stock.

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, 2011.

Introduction

Revenue

We primarily derive revenue from the sale of advertising time and program sponsorships to local and national advertisers on our radio stations. Advertising revenue is affected primarily by the advertising rates our radio stations are able to charge, as well as the overall demand for radio advertising time in a market. These rates are largely based upon a radio station’s audience share in the demographic groups targeted by advertisers, the number of radio stations in the related market, and the supply of, and demand for, radio advertising time. Advertising rates are generally highest during morning and afternoon commuting hours.

   During the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, approximately 59.0% and 63.1%, respectively, of our net revenue was generated from the sale of advertising in our core radio business, excluding Reach Media. Of our total net revenue, for the three months ended June 30, 2012, approximately 43.5% of our net revenue was generated from local advertising and approximately 34.0% was generated from national advertising, including network advertising. In comparison, during the three months ended June 30, 2011, approximately 43.9% of our net revenue was generated from local advertising and approximately 35.0%, was generated from national advertising, including network advertising.  During the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, approximately 55.5% and 68.2%, respectively, of our net revenue was generated from the sale of advertising in our core radio business, excluding Reach Media. Of our total net revenue, for the six months ended June 30, 2012, approximately 41.0% of our net revenue was generated from local advertising and approximately 32.7% was generated from national advertising, including network advertising. In comparison, during the six months ended June 30, 2011, approximately 48.8% of our net revenue was generated from local advertising and approximately 32.6%, was generated from national advertising, including network advertising.  National advertising also includes advertising revenue generated from our Internet segment. The balance of net revenue from our radio franchise was generated from tower rental income, ticket sales and revenue related to our sponsored events, management fees and other revenue. The change in revenue mix is due to the consolidation of TV One.

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 or leads are reported, or ratably over the contract period, where applicable.
 
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.

Expenses

Our significant broadcast expenses are: (i) employee salaries and commissions; (ii) programming expenses; (iii) marketing and promotional expenses; (iv) rental of premises for office facilities and studios; (v) rental of transmission tower space; and (vi) music license royalty fees. We strive to control these expenses by centralizing certain functions such as finance, accounting, legal, human resources and management information systems and, 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.
 
We generally incur marketing and promotional expenses to increase our radio and cable television 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.
 
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.

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

 Net revenue

Three Months Ended June 30,	 	Increase/(Decrease)	
2012	2011	 	 	
$105,916	$97,062	 	$8,854	9.1%	

During the three months ended June 30, 2012, we recognized approximately $105.9 million in net revenue compared to approximately $97.1 million during the same period in 2011. These amounts are net of agency and outside sales representative commissions, which were approximately $9.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2012, compared to approximately $8.6 million for the comparable period in 2011. We began to consolidate the results of TV One during the second quarter of 2011 and recognized approximately $32.3 million of revenue from our new cable television segment during the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $25.2 million for the period April 15, 2011 through June 30, 2011. Net revenue for our radio broadcasting segment increased 2.7% and excluding the timing difference for the Company’s annual Gospel Cruise held in March 2012 versus April 2011, our core radio revenue, including syndicated programming, increased 6.5% for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011. Our Atlanta, Baltimore, Dallas, Detroit, Indianapolis, Raleigh and Washington D.C. clusters posted the most significant quarterly growth, while our Columbus, Philadelphia and St. Louis markets posted the most significant declines. Reach Media’s net revenues decreased 12.6% in the second quarter 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 partially due to changes to certain of Reach Media’s affiliate agreements that became effective on January 1, 2012. Net revenues for our internet business increased 2.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011.
 
Operating Expenses

 	Programming and technical, excluding stock-based compensation	

Three Months Ended June 30,	 	Increase/(Decrease)	
2012	2011	 	                                                	
$32,958	$30,718	 	$2,240	7.3%	

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. The increase for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 is primarily related to consolidating the results of TV One for a full quarter in 2012.  Approximately $12.9 million of our consolidated programming and technical operating expenses were incurred by TV One for the three months ended June 30, 2012 versus approximately $11.8 million for the comparable period in 2011. The additional increase of our programming and technical expenses is due to higher payroll and talent costs in our radio broadcasting and Reach Media segments.

Selling, general and administrative, excluding stock-based compensation

Three Months Ended June 30,	 	Increase/(Decrease)	
2012	2011	 	                                             	
$31,553	$31,594	 	$(41)	(0.1)%	

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 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 timing of the Company’s annual Gospel Cruise held in March 2012 versus April 2011 generated a decrease in expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011.  This decrease was offset by increased payroll costs in our radio broadcasting and internet segments.

Corporate selling, general and administrative, excluding stock-based compensation

Three Months Ended June 30,	 	Increase/(Decrease)	
2012	2011	 	                                                  	
$9,824	$7,523	 	$2,301	30.6%	

Corporate expenses consist of expenses associated with our corporate headquarters and facilities, including personnel. The increase in corporate expenses was due to higher professional fees, research and bad debt expenses at our cable television segment.

Stock-based compensation

Three Months Ended June 30,	 	Increase/(Decrease)	
2012	2011	 	                                               	
$46	$1,199	 	$(1,153)	(96.2)%	

Vesting associated with the Company's long-term incentive plan, whereby officers and certain key employees were granted a total of 3,250,000 shares of restricted stock in January of 2010, was fully completed as of December 31, 2011. Stock-based compensation requires measurement of compensation costs for all stock-based awards at fair value on date of grant and recognition of compensation expense over the service period for awards expected to vest.

Depreciation and amortization

Three Months Ended June 30,	 	Increase/(Decrease)	
2012	2011	 	                                               	
$9,742	$10,238	 	$(496)	(4.8)%	

The decrease in depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was due to the completion of amortization for certain intangible assets and the completion of useful lives for certain assets.

Impairment of long-lived assets

Three Months Ended June 30,	 	Increase/(Decrease)	
2012	2011	 	                                               	
$313	$—	 	$313	100.0%	

The increase in impairment of long-lived assets for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was related to a non-cash impairment charge recorded to reduce the carrying value of our Charlotte radio broadcasting licenses.

Interest expense

Three Months Ended June 30,	 	Increase/(Decrease)	
2012	2011	 	                                                	
$22,928	$22,916	 	$12	0.1%	

Interest expense remained flat at approximately $22.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011. An increase in interest expense was due to a full quarter of interest on the TV One debt which was offset by a decrease due to the expiration of the PIK election. Through May 15, 2012, interest on the Company’s 12 1 / 2 %/15% Senior Subordinated Notes was payable 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.  The PIK Election expired on May 15, 2012 and interest accruing from and after May 15, 2012 accrues at a rate of 12 1 / 2 % and is payable in cash.

Gain on investment in affiliated company

Three Months Ended June 30,	 	Increase/(Decrease)	
2012	2011	 	                                                	
$—	$146,879	 	$(146,879)	(100.0)%	

The gain on investment in affiliated company of approximately $146.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 was due to obtaining the controlling interest in and the accounting impact of consolidating TV One’s operating results as of April 14, 2011.

Other expense, net

Three Months Ended June 30,	 	Increase/(Decrease)	
2012	2011	 	                                                	
$610	$47	 	$563	1,197.9%	

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

Equity in income of affiliated company

Three Months Ended June 30,	 	Increase/(Decrease)	
2012	2011	 	                                                   	
$—	$208	 	$(208)	(100.0)%	

Equity in income of affiliated company primarily reflects our estimated equity in the net income of TV One. The decrease to equity in income of affiliated company for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was due to the consolidation of TV One during the second quarter of 2011. Previously, the Company’s share of the net income was driven by TV One’s capital structure and the Company’s percentage ownership of the equity securities of TV One. Beginning on April 14, 2011, the Company began to account for TV One on a consolidated basis.

(Benefit from) provision for income taxes

Three Months Ended June 30,	 	Increase/(Decrease)	
2012	2011	 	                                                     	
$(48,491)	$38,611	 	$(87,102)	(225.6)%	

For the three months ended June 30, 2012, the benefit from income taxes of approximately $48.5 million is primarily due to adjusting the year-to-date income tax provision based on the actual effective tax rate as of June 30, 2012.  The provision for income taxes of approximately $38.6 million for the same period in 2011 is attributable to the increase in the deferred tax liability for indefinite-lived intangible assets and an increase in the expected pre-tax income of the Company due to the impact of the consolidation of TV One.

Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax

Three Months Ended June 30,	 	Increase/(Decrease)	
2012	2011	 	 	
$7	$(45)	 	$(52)	(115.6)%	
  
Included in the income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax, are the results of operations for radio stations sold or stations that we do not operate that are the subject of an LMA. The activity for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 resulted primarily from our remaining station in our Boston market entering into an LMA. The income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax, includes no tax provision for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011.

Noncontrolling interests in income of subsidiaries

Three Months Ended June 30,	 	Increase/(Decrease)	
2012	2011	 	 	
$3,797	$2,717	 	$1,080	39.7%	
  
The increase in noncontrolling interests in income of subsidiaries is due primarily to the impact of consolidating TV One’s operating results for a full quarter during the three months ended June 30, 2012.  This amount is partially offset by a net loss generated by Reach Media for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to net income for the same period in 2011.

Other Data
 
Station operating income
 
Station operating income increased to approximately $41.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to approximately $34.8 million for the comparable period in 2011, an increase of $6.6 million or 19.0%. This increase was primarily due to the impact of consolidating TV One results, as TV One generated approximately $13.7 million of station operating income during the quarter ended June 30, 2012 compared to $7.6 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2011.

Station operating income margin
 
Station operating income margin increased to 39.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2012 from 35.8% for the comparable period in 2011. The margin increase was primarily attributable to the impact of consolidating TV One results for a full quarter given TV One’s greater station operating margin of 42.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2012.

2012	2011	 	                                                 	
$208,958	$162,070	 	$46,888	28.9%	

During the six months ended June 30, 2012, we recognized approximately $209.0 million in net revenue compared to approximately $162.1 million during the same period in 2011. These amounts are net of agency and outside sales representative commissions, which were approximately $16.4 million during the six months ended 2012, compared to approximately $15.4 million during the same period in 2011. We began to consolidate the results of TV One during the three months ended June 30, 2011 and recognized approximately $25.2 million of revenue from our cable television segment for the period April 15, 2011 through June 30, 2011 versus approximately $64.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. Net revenue for our radio broadcasting segment increased 5.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2012.  Our Atlanta, Baltimore, Detroit, Indianapolis and Raleigh markets experienced the most significant net revenue growth, while our Charlotte, Columbus Houston, Philadelphia and St. Louis markets experienced declines. Reach Media's net revenue decreased 9.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 partially due to changes to certain of Reach Media’s affiliate agreements that became effective January 1, 2012. Net revenue for our internet business increased 30.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011. Our internet business continued to recognize strong revenue growth due to an improved sales effort and strong traffic growth.

For our cable television segment, programming and technical expenses include expenses associated with the technical, programming, production, and content management.  The increase for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 is primarily related to consolidating the results of TV One. Approximately $24.1 million of our consolidated programming and technical operating expenses were recognized directly from TV One during the six months ended June 30, 2012 versus approximately $11.8 million for the period April 15, 2011 through June 30, 2011. Of these total amounts, for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, approximately $18.2 million and $9.4 million, respectively, relates to content amortization. The additional increase of our programming and technical expenses is due to higher payroll and talent costs in our radio broadcasting and Reach Media segments.

2012	2011	 	                                              	
$70,362	$59,925	 	$10,437	17.4%	

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 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. Our cable television segment accounted for approximately $6.9 million of the increase due to the impact of consolidating six months of results of TV One in 2012 versus a shorter period in 2011.  In addition, there are increased payroll costs, research expenses and traffic acquisition costs during the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011.

$19,390	$14,772	 	$4,618	31.3%

2012	2011	 	                                                   	
$19,427	$14,321	 	$5,106	35.7%	

The increase in depreciation and amortization expense for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was due primarily to additional depreciation and amortization expense of approximately $7.1 million resulting from the increase in fixed and intangible assets recorded as part of the consolidation of TV One. This increased expense was partially offset by the completion of amortization for certain intangible assets and the completion of depreciation and amortization for certain assets across our other segments.

2012	2011	 	                                                  	
$46,675	$42,249	 	$4,426	10.5%	

The increase in interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was due to our entry into the March 31, 2011 senior secured credit facility (the “2011 Credit Agreement”) as well as the consolidation of TV One, which included debt and interest expense associated with the TV One Notes.  Higher interest rates associated with the 2011 Credit Agreement were in effect for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011.  Through May 15, 2012, interest on the Company’s 12 1 / 2 %/15% Senior Subordinated Notes was payable 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.  The PIK Election expired on May 15, 2012 and interest accruing from and after May 15, 2012 accrues at a rate of 12 1 / 2 % and is payable in cash.  Approximately $2.9 million of the increased interest expense relates to the TV One Notes.

$—	$ 7,743	 	$(7,743)	(100.0)%	

The loss on retirement of debt for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was due to a charge related to the retirement of the 2011 Credit Facility on March 31, 2011.  This amount includes a write-off of approximately $6.5 million of capitalized debt financing costs associated with the Amended and Restated Credit Facility and a write-off of approximately $1.2 million associated with the termination of the Company’s interest rate swap agreement.

The gain on investment in affiliated company of approximately $146.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was due to obtaining the controlling interest in and the accounting impact of consolidating TV One’s operating results as of April 14, 2011.

$603	$22	 	$581	2,640.9%

2012	2011	 	                                                     	
$—	$3,287	 	$(3,287)	(100.0)%	

Equity in income of affiliated company primarily reflects our estimated equity in the net income of TV One. The decrease to equity in income of affiliated company for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was due to the consolidation of TV One during the second quarter of 2011. Previously, the Company’s share of the net income was driven by TV One’s capital structure and the Company’s percentage ownership of the equity securities of TV One. Beginning on April 14, 2011, the Company began to account for TV One on a consolidated basis.

Provision for income taxes

Six Months Ended June 30,	 	Increase/(Decrease)	
2012	2011	 	                                                      	
$16,763	$84,230	 	$67,467	80.1%	

For the six months ended June 30, 2012, the provision for income taxes is approximately $16.8 million based on the actual effective tax rate as of June 30, 2012.  The provision for income taxes of approximately $84.2 million for the same period in 2011 is attributable to the increase in the deferred tax liability for indefinite-lived intangible assets and an increase in the expected pre-tax income of the Company due to the impact of the consolidation of TV One.

Included in the income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax, are the results of operations for radio stations sold or stations that we do not operate that are the subject of an LMA. The activity for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 resulted primarily from our remaining station in our Boston market entering into an LMA. The income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax, includes no tax provision for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011.
 
Noncontrolling interests in income of subsidiaries

2012	2011	 	                                                    	
$7,854	$2,920	 	$4,934	169.0%	

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

 Other Data

Station operating income
 
Station operating income increased to approximately $74.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to approximately $52.6 million for the comparable period in 2011, an increase of $21.9 million or 41.6%. This increase was primarily due to consolidating TV One results, as TV One generated approximately $27.7 million of station operating income during the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $7.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2011.

Station operating income margin
 
Station operating income margin increased to 35.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2012 from 32.5% for the comparable period in 2011. The margin increase was primarily attributable to the impact of consolidating TV One results given TV One’s greater station operating margin of 43.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2012.

In accordance with the 2011 Credit Agreement, the calculations for the ratios above do not include the operating results and related debt of Reach Media and TV One.

As of June 30, 2012, the Company was in compliance with all of its financial covenants under the 2011 Credit Agreement.  
 
Under the terms of the 2011 Credit Agreement, 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. Commencing on June 30, 2011, quarterly installments of 0.25%, or $960,000, of the principal balance on the $386.0 million term loan are payable on the last day of each March, June, September and December.
 
As of June 30, 2012, the Company had approximately $23.9 million of borrowing capacity under its revolving credit facility. After taking into consideration the financial covenants under the 2011 Credit Agreement, approximately $19.3 million was available to be borrowed.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2012, the Company repaid its quarterly installment of approximately $1.0 million under the 2011 Credit Agreement. In addition, on April 13, 2012, the Company made an approximately $2.0 million term loan principal repayment based on its December 31, 2011 excess cash flow calculation according to the terms of the 2011 Credit Agreement. 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.

Senior Subordinated Notes

Period after the March 2011 Refinancing Transaction
 
As of June 30, 2012, the Company had outstanding $747,000 of its 63/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due February 2013 and approximately $327.0 million of our 12 1 / 2 %/15% Senior Subordinated Notes due May 2016. The 12 1 / 2 %/15% Senior Subordinated Notes due May 2016 had a carrying value of approximately $327.0 million and a fair value of approximately $261.6 million as of June 30, 2012, and the 6 3 / 8 % Senior Subordinated Notes due February 2013 had a carrying value of $747,000 and a fair value of $545,000 as of June 30, 2012. The fair values were determined based on the trading value of the instruments as of the reporting date.
 
Interest payments under the terms of the 63/8% Senior Subordinated Notes are due in February and August.  Based on the $747,000 principal balance of the 6 3 / 8 % Senior Subordinated Notes outstanding on June 30, 2012, interest payments of $24,000 are payable each February and August through February 2013.
 
Interest on the 121/2%/15% Senior Subordinated Notes is 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 only with respect to interest accruing up to but not including May 15, 2012, and with respect to interest accruing from and after May 15, 2012 such interest accrues at a rate of 12 1 / 2 % and is payable in cash.
 
Interest on the Exchange Notes will accrue from the date of original issuance or, if interest has already been paid, from the date it was most recently paid.  Interest will accrue for each quarterly period at a rate of 12 1 / 2 % if the interest for such quarterly period is paid fully in cash.  In the event of a PIK Election, including the PIK Election that was in effect through May 15, 2012, the interest paid in cash and the interest paid-in-kind by issuance of additional Exchange Notes (“PIK Notes”) accrued for such quarterly period at 6.0% cash per annum and 9.0% PIK per annum.
 
In the absence of an election for any interest period, interest on the Exchange Notes shall be payable according to the election for the previous interest period, provided that interest accruing from and after May 15, 2012 shall accrue at a rate of 12 1 / 2 % and shall be payable in cash. A PIK Election remained in effect through May 15, 2012. After May 15, 2012, interest accrues at a rate of 12 1 / 2 % and is payable wholly in cash and the Company no longer has an option to pay any portion of its interest through the issuance of PIK Notes.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2012, the Company paid cash interest in the amount of approximately $15.5 million and issued approximately $7.2 million of additional 12 1 / 2 %/15% Senior Subordinated Notes in accordance with the PIK Election that is currently in effect. During the six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company paid cash interest in the amount of approximately $31.0 million and issued approximately $14.2 million of additional 12 1 / 2 %/15% Senior Subordinated Notes in accordance with the PIK Election that is currently in effect.
 
The indentures governing the Company’s 121/2%/15% Senior Subordinated Notes also contain 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.
 
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 12 1 / 2 %/15% Senior Subordinated Notes, the 6 3 / 8 % Senior Subordinated Notes and the Company’s obligations under the 2011 Credit Agreement.

        The following table summarizes the interest rates in effect with respect to our debt as of June 30, 2012:

The indentures governing our Prior Notes and our 2016 Notes require that we comply with certain financial covenants limiting our ability to incur additional debt. Such terms also place restrictions on us with respect to the sale of assets, liens, investments, dividends, debt repayments, capital expenditures, transactions with affiliates, consolidation and mergers, and the issuance of equity interests, among other things.  Our 2011 Credit Agreement also requires compliance with financial tests based on financial position and results of operations, including an interest coverage, senior secured leverage, and total leverage ratios, all of which could effectively limit our ability to borrow under the 2011 Credit Agreement.

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.
 
In November 2009, Reach Media issued a $1.0 million, 7% promissory note in connection with the repurchase of certain of its common stock held by a minority shareholder, a subsidiary of Cumulus (formerly Citadel).  The note was due and paid on December 30, 2011.
 
The following table provides a comparison of our statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011:

      Net cash flows used in investing activities were approximately $1.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to net cash flows provided by investing activities of approximately $61.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. Capital expenditures, including digital tower and transmitter upgrades, and deposits for station equipment and purchases were approximately $6.7 million and $3.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Proceeds from sales of investment securities were approximately $5.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. Cash flow from investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2011 were primarily due to the net cash and investments acquired in connection with the TV One consolidation of approximately $65.2 million.

     Net cash flows used in financing activities were approximately $9.7 million and $40.7 million for the six months June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

During the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, we capitalized $17,000 and approximately $6.0 million of costs associated with our evaluation of various alternatives associated with our indebtedness and its upcoming maturities. In addition, during the six months ended June 30, 2011, we repurchased approximately $7.5 million of our Class D Common Stock.  TV One paid approximately $5.8 million in dividends to noncontrolling interest shareholders for the six months ended June 30, 2012.
 
 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, 2011, 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, 2011.  

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 June 30, 2012, we had approximately $677.1 million in broadcast licenses and $272.0 million in goodwill, which totaled $949.1 million, and represented approximately 64.4% 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 recorded an impairment charge of $313,000 against our Charlotte radio broadcasting licenses during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012. We did not record any impairment charges for the six months ended June 30, 2011.
 
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 value. When the carrying value exceeds fair value, an impairment amount is charged to operations for the excess.

Valuation of Broadcasting Licenses
 
       We utilize the services of a third-party valuation firm to provide independent analysis when evaluating the fair value of our radio broadcasting licenses and reporting units. The testing for radio broadcasting licenses is performed at the unit of accounting level as determined by ASC 350, “ Intangibles - Goodwill and Other .” In our case, each unit of accounting is a clustering of radio stations into one geographical market. We use the income approach to value broadcasting licenses, which involves a 10-year model that incorporates several variables, including, but not limited to: (i) estimated discounted cash flows of a hypothetical market participant; (ii) estimated radio market revenue and growth projections; (iii) estimated market share and revenue for the hypothetical participant; (iv) likely media competition within the market; (v) estimated start-up costs and losses incurred in the early years; (vi) estimated profit margins and cash flows based on market size and station type; (vii) anticipated capital expenditures; (viii) probable future terminal values; (ix) an effective tax rate assumption; and (x) a discount rate based on the weighted-average cost of capital for the radio broadcast industry. In calculating the discount rate, we considered: (i) the cost of equity, which includes estimates of the risk-free return, the long-term market return, small stock risk premiums and industry beta; (ii) the cost of debt, which includes estimates for corporate borrowing rates and tax rates; and (iii) estimated average percentages of equity and debt in capital structures. Since our October 2011 annual assessment, we have not made any changes to the methodology for valuing broadcasting licenses.

During the second quarter of 2012, the total market revenue growth for certain markets was below that used in our 2011 annual impairment testing. We deemed this shortfall to be an impairment indicator that warranted interim impairment testing of certain of our radio broadcasting licenses, which we performed as of June 30, 2012. The Company recorded an impairment charge of $313,000 related to our Charlotte radio broadcasting licenses.  The remaining radio broadcasting licenses that were tested during the second quarter of 2012 were not impaired. Below are some of the key assumptions used in the income approach model for estimating broadcasting licenses fair values for all annual and interim impairment assessments performed since January 2011.

Valuation of Goodwill

The impairment testing of goodwill is performed at the reporting unit level. In testing for the impairment of goodwill, with the assistance of a third-party valuation firm, we primarily rely on the income approach. The approach involves a 10-year model with similar variables as described above for broadcasting licenses, except that the discounted cash flows are generally based on the Company’s estimated and projected market revenue, market share and operating performance for its reporting units, instead of those for a hypothetical participant. We follow a two-step process to evaluate if a potential impairment exists for goodwill. The first step of the process involves estimating the fair value of each reporting unit. If the reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying value, a second step is performed to allocate the fair value of the reporting unit to the individual assets and liabilities of the reporting unit in order to determine the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill as of the impairment assessment date. Any excess of the carrying value of the goodwill over the implied fair value of the goodwill is written off as a charge to operations. Since our annual assessment, we have not made any changes to the methodology of valuing or allocating goodwill when determining the carrying values of the radio markets, Reach Media, Interactive One or TV One.

Below are some of the key assumptions used in the income approach model for estimating the fair value for Reach Media for all interim, annual and year end assessments since January 2011. When compared to the discount rates used for assessing radio market reporting units, the higher discount rates used in these assessments reflect a premium for a riskier and broader media business, with a heavier concentration and significantly higher amount of programming content related intangible assets that are highly dependent on the on-air personality Tom Joyner. With the assistance of a third-party valuation firm, the Company assessed the fair value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest in Reach Media at June 30, 2012. Upon review of the results of the interim and year-end impairment tests, and quarter-end assessment, the Company concluded that the carrying value of goodwill attributable to Reach Media had not been impaired.

      As part of our annual testing, when arriving at the estimated fair values for radio broadcasting licenses and goodwill, we also performed a reasonableness test 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 2011 were reasonable.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
 
In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, which provides a consistent definition of fair value and ensures that the fair value measurement and disclosure requirements are similar between GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. ASU 2011-04 changes certain fair value measurement principles and enhances the disclosure requirements particularly for level 3 fair value measurements. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2012 and it did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, which provides companies with an option to perform a qualitative assessment that may allow them to skip the two-step impairment test.  ASU 2011-08 amends existing guidance by giving an entity the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If this is the case, companies will need to perform a more detailed two-step goodwill impairment test which is used to identify potential goodwill impairments and to measure the amount of goodwill impairment losses to be recognized, if any. ASU 2011-08 is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2012 and it did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income,” which was subsequently modified in December 2011 by ASU 2011-12, “ Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05 .” This ASU amends existing presentation and disclosure requirements concerning comprehensive income, most significantly by requiring that comprehensive income be presented with net income in a continuous financial statement, or in a separate but consecutive financial statement. The provisions of this ASU (as modified) are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements, other than presentation and disclosure.

CAPITAL AND COMMERICAL COMMITMENTS:

Radio Broadcasting Licenses

Each of the Company’s radio stations operates pursuant to one or more licenses issued by the Federal Communications Commission that have a maximum term of eight years prior to renewal. The Company’s radio broadcasting licenses expire at various times through April 1, 2020. Although the Company may apply to renew its radio broadcasting licenses, third parties may challenge the Company’s renewal applications. The Company is not aware of any facts or circumstances that would prevent the Company from having its current licenses renewed.

Indebtedness
   
We have several debt instruments outstanding within our corporate structure.  The total amount available under our 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. We also have outstanding $747,000 in 6 3 / 8 % Senior Subordinated Notes due February 2013 and $327.0 million in our 12 1 / 2 %/15% Senior Subordinated Notes due May 2016.  Finally, 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.   See “ Liquidity and Capital Resources .”  

 Royalty Agreements

Effective December 31, 2009, our radio music license agreements with the two largest performance rights organizations, American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (“ASCAP”) and Broadcast Music, Inc. (“BMI”) expired. The Radio Music License Committee (“RMLC”), which negotiates music licensing fees for most of the radio industry with ASCAP and BMI, at that time, reached an agreement with these organizations on a temporary fee schedule that reflected a provisional discount of 7.0% against 2009 fee levels. The temporary fee reductions became effective in January 2010. In May 2010 and June 2010, the U.S. District Court’s judge charged with determining the licenses fees ruled to further reduce interim fees paid to ASCAP and BMI, respectively, down approximately another 11.0% from the previous temporary fees negotiated with the RMLC.  In January 2012, the U.S. District Court approved a settlement between RMLC and ASCAP.  The settlement determines the amount to be paid to ASCAP for usage through 2016. In addition, stations will receive a credit for overpayments made in 2010 and 2011 to ASCAP. In June 2012, RMLC and BMI reached a settlement agreement.  The settlement covers the period through 2016 and determines a new fee structure based on percentage of revenue.  In addition, stations will receive a credit for overpayments made in 2010 and 2011 to BMI.

The Company has entered into other fixed and variable fee music license agreements with other performance rights organizations, which expire as late as December 2016. In connection with these agreements,  the Company incurred expenses of approximately $2.6 million and $5.4 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2012, respectively, and approximately $3.5 million and $6.3 million, respectively, for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011.

Lease obligations

We have non-cancelable operating leases for office space, studio space, broadcast towers and transmitter facilities that expire over the next 19 years.

Operating Contracts and Agreements

We have other operating contracts and agreements including employment contracts, on-air talent contracts, severance obligations, retention bonuses, consulting agreements, equipment rental agreements, programming related agreements, and other general operating agreements that expire over the next seven years.

Reach Media Noncontrolling Interest Shareholders’ Put Rights

Beginning on February 28, 2012, the noncontrolling interest shareholders of Reach Media have 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.   Beginning in 2012, this annual right can be exercised 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. As a result, our ability to fund business operations, new acquisitions or new business initiatives could be limited. The noncontrolling interest shareholders of Reach Media did not exercise their right during the 30-day period that ended March 29, 2012. However, we have no assurances that they will or will not exercise their rights in future years.

Other Contingencies

The Company has been named as a defendant in several legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. It is management’s opinion, after consultation with its legal counsel, that the outcome of these claims will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
As of June 30, 2012, we had four standby letters of credit totaling approximately $1.1 million in connection with our annual insurance policy renewals and real estate leases.  

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
 
The Company’s CEO and Chairperson own a music company called Music One, Inc. (“Music One”). The Company sometimes engages in promoting the recorded music product of Music One. Based on the cross-promotional value received by the Company, we believe that the provision of such promotion is fair.  During the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, Radio One paid $37,000 and $1,000 and $37,000 and $0, respectively, to or on behalf of Music One, primarily for market talent event appearances, travel reimbursement and sponsorships. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company provided advertising services to Music One in the amounts of $0 and $1,000, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company provided no advertising services to Music One. There were no cash, trade or no-charge orders placed by Music One for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011.

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, 2011.  Our exposure related to market risk has not changed materially since December 31, 2011.

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.
 
Remediation of an Identified Material Weakness
 
    Management of Radio One, Inc. (“the Company”) and the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (“the Committee”) concluded that the Company’s 2011 financial statements and the related report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, Ernst & Young LLP, on the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2011 should no longer be relied upon. This conclusion was reached because the Company concluded that its consolidated statements of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2011 and all interim periods within that year after the first quarter of 2011 and the three month period ended March 31, 2012 improperly classified cash payments for TV One content assets as investing rather than operating activities. The classification errors had no effect on the reported changes in cash and cash equivalents in any period, and also had no effect on the consolidated balance sheet, the consolidated statement of operations, or the consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity for any period.
 
         In our quarterly and annual reports for the periods ended from June 30, 2011 through March 31, 2012, we identified the following material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting:
 
 	•	The Company did not maintain internal controls with regard to evaluating the proper cash flow classification of cash payments for TV One content assets	
 
   We took the following actions to remediate this material weakness:
 
 	•	Restructured the Finance and Accounting functions and engaged additional resources with the appropriate depth of experience for our Finance and Accounting departments	
 	 	 	
 	•	Updated accounting policies and procedures to ensure that accounting personnel have sufficient guidance to remediate the previously communicated weakness and to appropriately account for transactions	
 	 	 	
 	•	Implemented a required senior management, legal and accounting review to specifically address all new disclosures and related financial information	
 
       As part of its financial statement close process for the quarter ended June 30, 2012, management tested the design and operating effectiveness of the newly implemented controls and concluded that the material weakness described above has been remediated as of the date of this filing.
 
Changes in internal control over financial reporting
 
       Management has evaluated, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, whether any changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. As described above under “Remediation of an Identified Material Weakness”, there were changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2012 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
 
In November 2001, Radio One and certain of its officers and directors were named as defendants in a shareholder class action filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, captioned, In re Radio One, Inc. Initial Public Offering Securities Litigation, Case No. 01-CV-10160. Similar complaints were filed in the same court against hundreds of other public companies (“Issuers”) that conducted initial public offerings of their common stock in the late 1990s (“the IPO Cases”). In the complaint filed against Radio One (as amended), the plaintiffs claimed that Radio One, certain of its officers and directors, and the underwriters of certain of its public offerings violated Section 11 of the Securities Act. The plaintiffs’ claim was based on allegations that Radio One’s registration statement and prospectus failed to disclose material facts regarding the compensation to be received by the underwriters, and the stock allocation practices of the underwriters. The complaint also contains a claim for violation of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 based on allegations that these omissions constituted a deceit on investors. The plaintiffs seek unspecified monetary damages and other relief.
 
In July 2002, Radio One joined in a global motion, filed by the Issuers, to dismiss the IPO Cases. In October 2002, the court entered an order dismissing the Company’s named officers and directors from the IPO Lawsuits without prejudice, pursuant to an agreement tolling the statute of limitations with respect to Radio One’s officers and directors until September 30, 2003. In February 2003, the court issued a decision denying the motion to dismiss the Section 11 and Section 10(b) claims against Radio One and most of the Issuers.
 
In July 2003, a Special Litigation Committee of Radio One’s board of directors approved in principle a tentative settlement with the plaintiffs. The proposed settlement would have provided for the dismissal with prejudice of all claims against the participating Issuers and their officers and directors in the IPO Cases and the assignment to plaintiffs of certain potential claims that the Issuers may have against their underwriters. In September 2003, in connection with the proposed settlement, Radio One’s named officers and directors extended the tolling agreement so that it would not expire prior to any settlement being finalized. In June 2004, Radio One executed a final settlement agreement with the plaintiffs. In 2005, the court issued a decision certifying a class action for settlement purposes and granting preliminary approval of the settlement. In 2007, the settlement was terminated pursuant to stipulation of the parties.
 
In February 2009, plaintiffs informed the court that a new settlement of all IPO Cases had been agreed to in principle, subject to formal approval by the parties and preliminary and final approval by the court. In April 2009, the parties submitted a tentative settlement agreement to the court and moved for preliminary approval thereof. In June 2009, the court granted preliminary approval of the tentative settlement and ordered that notice of the settlement be published and mailed to class members. In October 2009, the court certified the settlement class in each IPO Case and granted final approval to the settlement. Thereafter, a number of shareholders filed appeals to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals, objecting to the settlement. On January 10, 2012, the last of these shareholder appeals was dismissed with prejudice.  Accordingly, the settlement is now final, all claims against us and our officers and directors in the IPO Cases will be dismissed with prejudice, and our pro rata share of the settlement fund will be fully funded by insurance.

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, 2011 (the “2011 Annual Report”), which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in our 2011 Annual Report, as updated by our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, are not the only risks facing our Company.  Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us, or that we currently deem to be immaterial, may also materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.

We are currently not in compliance with NASDAQ rules for continued listing of our Class A and Class D common shares.

Our shares of Class A and Class D common stock are currently not in compliance with NASDAQ rules for continued listing and may be at risk of being delisted.
 
On July 13, 2012, the Company received notification (the “Class D Notification”) from the NASDAQ Stock Markets (“NASDAQ”) that for the 30 consecutive business days prior to July 13, 2012, the bid price of the Company’s Class D common stock had closed below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement for continued listing under Marketplace Rule 5450(a)(1). As such, the Company’s Class D common stock had become non-compliant with NASDAQ’s continued listing requirements.  In accordance with NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has a grace period of 180 calendar days, or until January 9, 2013, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. To regain compliance, the closing bid price of the Company’s Class D common stock must meet or exceed $1.00 per share for at least ten consecutive business days during this 180-day grace period.  If the Company does not regain compliance by January 9, 2013, NASDAQ will provide written notification that the Company’s Class D common stock will be delisted.  However, the Company may apply to transfer its Class D common stock to the NASDAQ Capital Market.   If its application is approved, NASDAQ will afford the Company a second 180 calendar day compliance period in order to regain compliance while on the NASDAQ Capital Market.  If the Company does not regain compliance after such additional compliance period, NASDAQ will provide written notification that the Company’s Class D common stock will be delisted.  The Class D Notification did not impact upon the Company’s Class A common stock.
 
On July 26, 2012, the Company received notification (the “Class A Notification”) from NASDAQ that for the 30 consecutive business days prior to July 26, 2012, the bid price of the Company’s Class A common stock had closed below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement for continued listing. As such, the Company’s Class A common stock had become non-compliant with NASDAQ’s continued listing requirements.  As with the Company’s Class D common stock, the Company has a grace period of 180 calendar days, or until January 22, 2013, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. To regain compliance, the closing bid price of the Company’s Class A common stock must meet or exceed $1.00 per share for at least ten consecutive business days during this 180-day grace period.  If the Company does not regain compliance by January 22, 2013, NASDAQ will provide written notification that the Company’s Class A common stock will be delisted.  However, the Company may apply for an additional grace period if it meets all of the criteria for continued listing other than the minimum closing bid price at the time of application for the additional grace period. If the Company then fails to regain compliance within the additional grace period permitted by the NASDAQ Capital Market, the Company’s Class A common stock will be subject to delisting by NASDAQ.
 
The Company will consider available options to resolve the noncompliance with the minimum bid price requirement for both the Class A and Class D common stock, including but not limited to the implementation of a reverse stock split. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirements or other NASDAQ listing criteria for either class of stock.
