ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | |
ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | 1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: (a) Urban One, Inc. (a Delaware corporation referred to as “Urban 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 which is the largest radio broadcasting operation that primarily targets African-American and urban listeners. As of September 30, 2020, we owned and/or operated 61 broadcast stations (including all HD stations, translator stations and the low power television stations we operate) located in 14 of the most populous African-American markets in the United States. While a core source of our revenue has historically been and remains the sale of local and national advertising for broadcast on our radio stations, our strategy is to operate the premier multi-media entertainment and information content provider targeting African-American and urban consumers. Thus, we have diversified our revenue streams by making acquisitions and investments in other complementary media properties. Our diverse media and entertainment interests include TV One, LLC (“TV One”), an African-American targeted cable television network; our 80.0% ownership interest in Reach Media, Inc. (“Reach Media”) which operates the Rickey Smiley Morning Show and our other syndicated programming assets, including the Russ Parr Morning Show and the DL Hughley Show; and Interactive One, LLC (“Interactive One”), our wholly owned digital platform serving the African-American community through social content, news, information, and entertainment websites, including its Cassius and Bossip, HipHopWired and MadameNoire digital platforms and brands. We also hold a minority ownership interest in MGM National Harbor, a gaming resort located in Prince George’s County, Maryland. Through our national multi-media operations, we provide advertisers with a unique and powerful delivery mechanism to the African-American and urban audiences. On January 19, 2019, the Company launched CLEO TV, a lifestyle and entertainment network targeting Millennial and Gen X women of color. CLEO TV offers quality content that defies negative and cultural stereotypes of today’s modern women. The results of CLEO TV’s operations will be reflected in the Company’s cable television segment. Our core radio broadcasting franchise operates under the brand “Radio One.” We also operate our other brands, such as TV One, CLEO TV, Reach Media and Interactive One, while developing additional branding reflective of our diverse media operations and targeting our African-American and urban audiences. As part of our consolidated financial statements, consistent with our financial reporting structure and how the Company currently manages its businesses, we have provided selected financial information on the Company’s four reportable segments: (i) radio broadcasting; (ii) Reach Media; (iii) digital; and (iv) cable television. (See Note 7 – Segment Information.) (b) 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. During the fourth quarter of 2019, the Company revised the interest expense component of operating leases accounted for under ASC 842 from interest expense into operating expenses. Operating income for the quarters ended March 31, 2019, June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2019 have been reclassified in the amounts of approximately $1.3 million, $1.4 million and $1.4 million, respectively, to reflect the interest expense component of operating leases from interest expense into operating expenses. The financial statements for the quarterly periods ended March 31, June 30 and September 30, 2019 were not restated as management determined that the impact of this error is immaterial to the interim consolidated financial statements filed for each quarterly period in 2019. These revisions had no effect on any other previously reported or consolidated net income or loss or any other statement of operations, balance sheet or cash flow amounts. 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 consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10‑K. (c) Financial instruments as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, consisted of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, trade accounts receivable, asset-backed credit facility, long-term debt and redeemable noncontrolling interests. The carrying amounts approximated fair value for each of these financial instruments as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, except for the Company's long-term debt. The 7.375% Senior Secured Notes due in April 2022 (the “2022 Notes”) had a carrying value of approximately $350.0 million and fair value of approximately $316.8 million as of September 30, 2020. The 2022 Notes had a carrying value of approximately $350.0 million and fair value of approximately $344.8 million as of December 31, 2019. The fair values of the 2022 Notes, classified as Level 2 instruments, were determined based on the trading values of these instruments in an inactive market as of the reporting date. See Note 9 - Subsequent Events . On April 18, 2017, the Company closed on a $350.0 million senior secured credit facility (the “2017 Credit Facility”) which had a carrying value of approximately $318.2 million and fair value of approximately $266.0 million as of September 30, 2020, and had a carrying value of approximately $320.6 million and fair value of approximately $309.1 million as of December 31, 2019. The fair value of the 2017 Credit Facility, classified as a Level 2 instrument, was determined based on the trading values of this instrument in an inactive market as of the reporting date. On December 20, 2018, the Company closed on a $192.0 million unsecured credit facility (the “2018 Credit Facility”) which had a carrying value of approximately $134.7 million and fair value of approximately $137.4 million as of September 30, 2020, and had a carrying value of approximately $167.1 million and fair value of approximately $170.5 million as of December 31, 2019. The fair value of the 2018 Credit Facility, classified as a Level 2 instrument, was determined based on the trading values of this instrument in an inactive market as of the reporting date. On December 20, 2018, the Company also closed on a $50.0 million secured credit loan (the “MGM National Harbor Loan”) which had a carrying value of approximately $57.3 million and fair value of approximately $64.2 million as of September 30, 2020, and had a carrying value of approximately $52.1 million and fair value of approximately $58.4 million as of December 31, 2019. The fair value of the 2018 MGM National Harbor Loan, classified as a Level 2 instrument, was determined based on the trading values of this instrument in an inactive market as of the reporting date. The Company's asset-backed credit facility (the "ABL Facility") had a carrying value of approximately $27.5 million and fair value of approximately $27.5 million as of September 30, 2020. There was no balance outstanding on the ABL Facility as of December 31, 2019. (d) In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, “ Revenue from Contracts with Customers, ” the Company recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which it expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company elected to use the modified retrospective method, but the adoption of the standard did not have a material impact to our financial statements. In general, our spot advertising (both radio and cable television) as well as our digital advertising continues to be recognized when aired and delivered. For our cable television affiliate revenue, the Company grants a license to the affiliate to access its television programming content through the license period, and the Company earns a usage based royalty when the usage occurs, consistent with our previous revenue recognition policy. Finally, for event advertising, the performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time when the activity associated with the event is completed. Within our radio broadcasting and Reach Media segments, the Company recognizes revenue for broadcast advertising at a point in time when a commercial spot runs. The revenue is reported net of agency and outside sales representative commissions. 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 $4.2 million and $6.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Agency and outside sales representative commissions were approximately $11.4 million and $17.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019. Within our digital segment, including Interactive One, which generates the majority of the Company’s digital revenue, revenue is principally derived from advertising services on non-radio station branded but Company-owned websites. Advertising services include the sale of banner and sponsorship advertisements. Advertising revenue is recognized at a point in time either as impressions (the number of times advertisements appear in viewed pages) are delivered, when “click through” purchases are made, or ratably over the contract period, where applicable. In addition, Interactive One derives revenue from its studio operations, in which it provides third-party clients with publishing services including digital platforms and related expertise. In the case of the studio operations, revenue is recognized primarily through fixed contractual monthly fees and/or as a share of the third party’s reported revenue. Our cable television segment derives advertising revenue from the sale of television air time to advertisers and recognizes revenue when the advertisements are run. Advertising revenue is recognized at a point in time when the individual spots run. To the extent there is a shortfall in contracts where the ratings were guaranteed, a portion of the revenue is deferred until the shortfall is settled, typically by providing additional advertising units generally within one year of the original airing. Our cable television segment also derives revenue from affiliate fees under the terms of various multi-year affiliation agreements based on a per subscriber fee multiplied by the most recent subscriber counts reported by the applicable affiliate. The Company recognizes the affiliate fee revenue at a point in time as its performance obligation to provide the programming is met. The Company has a right of payment each month as the programming services and related obligations have been satisfied. For our cable television segment, agency and outside sales representative commissions were approximately $3.7 million and $3.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Agency and outside sales representative commissions were approximately $10.5 million and $10.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Revenue by Contract Type The following chart shows our net revenue (and sources) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019: Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 2019 2020 2019 (In thousands, unaudited) Net Revenue: Radio Advertising $ 34,919 $ 50,813 $ 98,695 $ 144,958 Political Advertising 4,324 300 7,089 741 Digital Advertising 8,121 8,171 20,514 23,270 Cable Television Advertising 19,603 20,649 59,576 60,658 Cable Television Affiliate Fees 24,421 25,330 75,247 79,404 Event Revenues & Other 524 5,792 1,674 22,044 Net Revenue (as reported) $ 91,912 $ 111,055 $ 262,795 $ 331,075 Contract assets and liabilities Contract assets (unbilled receivables) and contract liabilities (customer advances and unearned income and unearned event income) that are not separately stated in our consolidated balance sheets at September 30, 2020, December 31, 2019 and September 30, 2019 were as follows: September 30, 2020 December 31, 2019 September 30, 2019 (Unaudited) (Unaudited) (In thousands) Contract assets: Unbilled receivables $ 7,085 $ 3,763 $ 5,968 Contract liabilities: Customer advances and unearned income $ 4,587 $ 3,048 $ 3,403 Unearned event income 6,809 6,645 3,831 Unbilled receivables consists of earned revenue on behalf of customers that have not yet been billed. Customer advances and unearned income represents advance payments by customers for future services under contract that are generally incurred in the near term. Unearned event income represents payments by customers for upcoming events. For customer advances and unearned income as of January 1, 2020, approximately $103,000 and approximately $2.2 million was recognized as revenue during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020. For unearned event income, there was no revenue recognized during the three months or nine months ended September 30, 2020. For customer advances and unearned income as of January 1, 2019, $250,000 and approximately $2.3 million, respectively, was recognized as revenue during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019. For unearned event income as of January 1, 2019, approximately $3.9 million was recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, as the event took place during the second quarter of 2019. Practical expedients and exemptions We generally expense sales commissions when incurred because the amortization period would have been one year or less. These costs are recorded within selling, general and administrative expenses. We do not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected length of one year or less or (ii) contracts for which we recognize revenue at the amount to which we have the right to invoice for services performed. (e) The cable television segment has entered into certain affiliate agreements requiring various payments for launch support. Launch support assets are used to initiate carriage under affiliation agreements and are amortized over the term of the respective contracts. The Company did not pay any launch support for carriage initiation during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019. The weighted-average amortization period for launch support is approximately 7.8 years as of September 30, 2020, and approximately 7.8 years as of December 31, 2019. The remaining weighted-average amortization period for launch support is 4.3 years and 5.1 years as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. 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. For the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, launch support asset amortization of $106,000 and $106,000, respectively, was recorded as a reduction of revenue, and $151,000 and $151,000, respectively, was recorded as an operating expense in selling, general and administrative expenses. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, launch support asset amortization of $317,000 and $317,000, respectively, was recorded as a reduction of revenue, and $454,000 and $455,000, respectively, was recorded as an operating expense in selling, general and administrative expenses. Launch assets are included in other intangible assets on the consolidated balance sheets, except for the portion of the unamortized balance that is expected to be amortized within one year which is included in other current assets. (f) For barter transactions, the Company provides broadcast advertising time in exchange for programming content and certain services. The Company includes the value of such exchanges in both broadcasting net revenue and 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 September 30, 2020 and 2019, barter transaction revenues were $523,000 and $574,000, respectively. Additionally, for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, barter transaction costs were reflected in programming and technical expenses of $380,000 and $424,000, respectively, and selling, general and administrative expenses of $143,000 and $150,000, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, barter transaction revenues were approximately $1.6 million and $1.7 million, respectively. Additionally, for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, barter transaction costs were reflected in programming and technical expenses of approximately $1.1 million and 1.3 million, respectively, and selling, general and administrative expenses of $429,000 and $451,000, respectively. The Company reached an agreement with a cable television provider related to an adjustment of previously estimated affiliate fees in the amount of approximately $2.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, as final reporting became available. Upon settlement of this agreement, the Company will receive approximately $2.0 million in marketing services that will be utilized in future periods. (g) Basic earnings per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of shares of common stock (Classes A, B, C and D) outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of shares of common stock plus the effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. The Company’s potentially dilutive securities include stock options and unvested restricted stock. Diluted earnings per share considers the impact of potentially dilutive securities except in periods in which there is a net loss, as the inclusion of the potentially dilutive common shares would have an anti-dilutive effect. The following table sets forth the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations (in thousands, except share and per share data): Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 2019 2020 2019 (Unaudited) (In thousands, except share data) Numerator: Net (loss) income attributable to common stockholders $ (12,772) $ 5,359 $ (34,539) $ 8,846 Denominator: Denominator for basic net (loss) income per share - weighted average outstanding shares 44,175,385 44,315,077 44,738,635 44,912,673 Effect of dilutive securities: Stock options and restricted stock — 1,803,625 — 2,052,572 Denominator for diluted net (loss) income per share - weighted-average outstanding shares 44,175,385 46,118,702 44,738,635 46,965,245 Net (loss) income attributable to common stockholders per share – basic $ (0.29) $ 0.12 $ (0.77) $ 0.20 Net (loss) income attributable to common stockholders per share –diluted $ (0.29) $ 0.12 $ (0.77) $ 0.19 All stock options and restricted stock awards were excluded from the diluted calculation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. The following table summarizes the potential common shares excluded from the diluted calculation. Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 2020 (Unaudited) (In thousands) Stock options 3,849 3,849 Restricted stock awards 1,818 1,886 (h) 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 the measurement date. Level 2 : Observable inputs other than those included in Level 1 (i.e., quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets). Level 3 : Unobservable inputs reflecting management’s own assumptions about the inputs used in pricing the asset or liability. A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value instrument. As of September 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, respectively, the fair values of our financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are categorized as follows: Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 (Unaudited) (In thousands) As of September 30, 2020 Liabilities subject to fair value measurement: Contingent consideration (a) $ 1,154 — — $ 1,154 Employment agreement award (b) 27,710 — — 27,710 Total $ 28,864 $ — $ — $ 28,864 Mezzanine equity subject to fair value measurement: Redeemable noncontrolling interests (c) $ 11,117 $ — $ — $ 11,117 As of December 31, 2019 Liabilities subject to fair value measurement: Contingent consideration (a) $ 1,921 — — $ 1,921 Employment agreement award (b) 27,017 — — 27,017 Total $ 28,938 $ — $ — $ 28,938 Mezzanine equity subject to fair value measurement: Redeemable noncontrolling interests (c) $ 10,564 $ — $ — $ 10,564 (a) This balance is measured based on the income approach to valuation in the form of a Monte Carlo simulation. The Monte Carlo simulation method is suited to instances such as this where there is non-diversifiable risk. It is also well-suited to multi-year, path dependent scenarios. Significant inputs to the Monte Carlo method include forecasted net revenues, discount rate and expected volatility. A third-party valuation firm assisted the Company in estimating the contingent consideration. The long-term portion of the contingent consideration is recorded in other long-term liabilities and the current portion is recorded in other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. (b) Each quarter, pursuant to an employment agreement (the “Employment Agreement”) executed in April 2008, the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) is eligible to receive an award (the “Employment Agreement Award”) amount equal to approximately 4% 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 (based on the estimated enterprise fair value of TV One as determined by a discounted cash flow analysis) , 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 was triggered after the Company recovered the aggregate amount of certain pre-April 2015 capital contributions in TV One, and payment is required only upon actual receipt of distributions of cash or marketable securities or proceeds from a liquidity event with respect to such invested amount. The long-term portion of the award is recorded in other long-term liabilities and the current portion is recorded in other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. The CEO was fully vested in the award upon execution of the Employment Agreement, and the award lapses if the CEO voluntarily leaves the Company or is terminated for cause. A third-party valuation firm assisted the Company in estimating TV One’s fair value using a discounted cash flow analysis. Significant inputs to the discounted cash flow analysis include forecasted operating results, discount rate and a terminal value. In September 2014, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company approved terms for a new employment agreement with the CEO, including a renewal of the Employment Agreement Award upon similar terms as in the prior Employment Agreement. Prior to the quarter ended September 30, 2018, there were probability factors included in the calculation of the award related to the likelihood that the award will be realized. During the quarter ended September 30, 2018, management changed the methodology used in calculating the fair value of the Company's Employment Agreement Award liability to simplify the calculation. As part of the simplified calculation, the Company eliminated certain adjustments made to its aggregate investment in TV One, including the treatment of historical dividends paid and potential distribution of assets upon liquidation. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approved the simplified method which eliminates certain assumptions that were historically used in the determination of the fair value of this liability. (c) The redeemable noncontrolling interest in Reach Media is measured at fair value using a discounted cash flow methodology. A third-party valuation firm assisted the Company in estimating the fair value. Significant inputs to the discounted cash flow analysis include forecasted operating results, discount rate and a terminal value. There were no transfers in or out of Level 1, 2, or 3 during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The following table presents the changes in Level 3 liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis for the nine months ended September 30, 2020: Employment Redeemable Contingent Agreement Noncontrolling Consideration Award Interests (In thousands) Balance at December 31, 2019 $ 1,921 $ 27,017 $ 10,564 Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests — — 846 Distribution (766) (1,625) — Dividends paid to noncontrolling interests — — (1,000) Change in fair value (1) 2,318 707 Balance at September 30, 2020 $ 1,154 $ 27,710 $ 11,117 The amount of total (losses)/income for the period included in earnings attributable to the change in unrealized losses/income relating to assets and liabilities still held at the reporting date $ 1 $ (2,318) $ — Losses and income included in earnings were recorded in the consolidated statements of operations as corporate selling, general and administrative expenses for the employment agreement award for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019. Losses included in earnings were recorded in the consolidated statements of operations as selling, general and administrative expenses for contingent consideration for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019. As of As of December 31, Significant September 30, 2020 2019 Unobservable Significant Unobservable Level 3 liabilities Valuation Technique Inputs Input Value Contingent consideration Monte Carlo Simulation Expected volatility 39.1 % 20.8 % Contingent consideration Monte Carlo Simulation Discount Rate 16.5 % 14.5 % Employment agreement award Discounted Cash Flow Discount Rate 10.0 % 10.0 % Employment agreement award Discounted Cash Flow Long-term Growth Rate 2.0 % 2.0 % Redeemable noncontrolling interest Discounted Cash Flow Discount Rate 11.0 % 11.0 % Redeemable noncontrolling interest Discounted Cash Flow Long-term Growth Rate 1.0 % 1.0 % Any significant increases or decreases in discount rate or long-term growth rate inputs could result in significantly higher or lower fair value measurements. Certain assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis using Level 3 inputs as defined in ASC 820. These assets are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments only in certain circumstances. Included in this category are goodwill, radio broadcasting licenses and other intangible assets, net, that are written down to fair value when they are determined to be impaired, as well as content assets that are periodically written down to net realizable value. For the three months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recorded an impairment charge of approximately $10.0 million related to its Atlanta market and Indianapolis goodwill balances and also an impairment charge of approximately $19.1 million associated with our Atlanta, Cincinnati, Dallas, Houston, Indianapolis, Philadelphia and Raleigh market radio broadcasting licenses. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recorded an impairment charge of approximately $15.9 million related to its Atlanta market and Indianapolis goodwill balances and also an impairment charge of approximately $66.8 million associated with our Atlanta, Cincinnati, Dallas, Houston, Indianapolis, Philadelphia, Raleigh, Richmond and St. Louis market radio broadcasting licenses. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recorded an impairment charge of approximately $3.8 million related to its Detroit market radio broadcasting licenses. The Company concluded these assets were not impaired during the three months ended September 30, 2019. (i) As of January 1, 2019, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 842, Leases (“ASC 842”), using the modification retrospective transition method. Prior comparative periods will be not be restated under this new standard and therefore those amounts are not presented below. The Company adopted a package of practical expedients as allowed by the transition guidance which permits the Company to carry forward the historical assessment of whether contracts contain or are leases, classification of leases and the remaining lease terms. The Company has also made an accounting policy election to exclude leases with an initial term of twelve months or less from recognition on the consolidated balance sheet. Short-term leases will be expensed over the lease term. The Company also elected to separate the consideration in the lease contracts between the lease and non-lease components. All variable non-lease components are expensed as incurred. ASC 842 results in significant changes to the balance sheets of lessees, most significantly by requiring the recognition of right of use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases. Upon adoption of ASC 842, deferred rent balances, which were historically presented separately, were combined and presented net within the ROU asset. The adoption of this standard resulted in the Company recording an increase in ROU assets of approximately $49.8 million and an increase in lease liabilities of approximately $54.1 million. Approximately $4.3 million in deferred rent was also reclassified from liabilities to offset the applicable ROU asset. The tax impact of ASC 842, which primarily consisted of deferred gains related to previous transactions that were historically accounted for as sale and operating leasebacks in accordance with prior guidance ASC Topic 840 was recognized as part of the cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings, resulting in an increase to retained earnings, net of tax, of approximately $5.8 million. Many of the Company’s leases provide for renewal terms and escalation clauses, which are factored into calculating the lease liabilities when appropriate. The implicit rate within the Company’s lease agreements is generally not determinable and as such the Company’s collateralized borrowing rate is used. The following table sets forth the components of lease expense and the weighted average remaining lease term and the weighted average discount rate for the Company’s leases: T |

ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS | 2. ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS: On October 20, 2011, we entered into a time brokerage agreement (“TBA”) with WGPR, Inc. (“WGPR”). Pursuant to the TBA, on October 24, 2011, we began to broadcast programs produced, owned or acquired by the Company on WGPR’s Detroit radio station, WGPR-FM. We paid a monthly fee as well as certain operating costs of WGPR-FM, and in exchange we retained all revenues from the sale of the advertising within the programming we provided. The original term of the TBA was through December 31, 2014; however, in September 2014, we entered into an amendment to the TBA to extend the term of the TBA through December 31, 2019 on which date we ceased operation of the station on our behalf. While we ceased operations of the station on December 31, 2019, the Company continues to provide certain limited management services to the current owner and operator of WGPR. On August 31, 2019, the Company closed on its previously announced sale of assets of its Detroit, Michigan radio station, WDMK-FM and three translators W228CJ, W252BX, and W260CB for approximately $13.5 million to Beasley Broadcast Group, Inc. The Company recognized an immaterial loss on the sale of the station during the year ended December 31, 2019. On January 30, 2017, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement to sell certain land, towers and equipment to a third party for $25 million. On May 2, 2017, the Company closed on its previously announced sale, and is leasing certain of the assets back from the buyer as a part of its normal operations. The Company received proceeds of approximately $25.0 million, resulting in an overall net gain on sale of approximately $22.5 million, of which approximately $14.4 million was recognized immediately during the second quarter of 2017, and approximately $8.1 million which was deferred and was recognized into income ratably over the lease term of ten years. Upon adoption of ASC 842 on January 1, 2019, the unamortized portion of this deferred gain, net of tax, was recognized as a cumulative adjustment to equity. On December 19, 2019, we entered into both an asset purchase agreement ("APA") and a TBA with Guardian Enterprise Group, Inc. and certain of its affiliates (collectively, "GEG") with respect to the acquisition and interim operation of low power television station WQMC-LD in Columbus, Ohio. Pursuant to the TBA, in January 2020, we began to operate WQMC-LD until such time as the purchase transaction can close under the APA. Under the terms of the TBA, we pay a monthly fee as well as certain operating costs of WQMC-LD, and, in exchange, we will retain all revenues from the sale of the advertising within the programming. After receipt of FCC approval, we closed the transactions under the APA and took ownership of WQMC-LD on February 24, 2020 for total consideration of $475,000. |

GOODWILL AND RADIO BROADCASTING LICENSES | 3. GOODWILL AND RADIO BROADCASTING LICENSES: Impairment Testing In accordance with ASC 350, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other,” we do not amortize our indefinite-lived radio broadcasting licenses and goodwill. Instead, we perform a test for impairment annually across all reporting units, or on an interim basis when events or changes in circumstances or other conditions suggest impairment may have occurred in any given reporting unit. 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. We evaluate all events and circumstances on an interim basis to determine if an interim indicator is present. Valuation of Broadcasting Licenses Beginning in March 2020, the Company noted that the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting government stay at home orders were dramatically impacting certain of the Company's revenues. Most notably, a number of advertisers across significant advertising categories have reduced or ceased advertising spend due to the outbreak and stay at home orders which effectively shut many businesses down in the markets in which we operate. This was particularly true within our radio segment which derives substantial revenue from local advertisers who have been particularly hard hit due to social distancing and government interventions. As a result of COVID-19, the total market revenue growth for certain markets in which we operate was below that assumed in our annual impairment testing. During the first quarter of 2020, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge of approximately $47.7 million associated with our Atlanta, Cincinnati, Dallas, Houston, Indianapolis, Philadelphia, Raleigh, Richmond and St. Louis radio market broadcasting licenses. We did not identify any impairment indicators for the three months ended June 30, 2020. Based on the latest market data obtained by the Company in the third quarter of 2020, the total anticipated market revenue growth for certain markets in which we operate continues to be below that assumed in our first quarter impairment testing. We deemed that to be an impairment indicator that warranted interim impairment testing of certain markets' radio broadcasting licenses, which we performed as of September 30, 2020. As a result of that testing, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge of approximately $19.1 million associated with our Atlanta, Cincinnati, Dallas, Houston, Indianapolis, Philadelphia and Raleigh market radio broadcasting licenses. We did not identify any impairment indicators for the three months ended September 30, 2019. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge of approximately $3.8 million associated with our Detroit market radio broadcasting licenses. Below are some of the key assumptions used in the income approach model for estimating broadcasting licenses fair values for the interim impairment assessments where impairment was recorded for 2020. Radio Broadcasting September 30, March 31, Licenses 2020 (a) 2020 (a) Impairment charge (in millions) $ $ Discount Rate % % Year 1 Market Revenue Growth Rate Range (10.7)% – (16.8) % % Long-term Market Revenue Growth Rate Range (Years 6 – 10) 0.7% – 1.1 % 0.7% – 1.1 % Mature Market Share Range 6.7% – 23.9 % 6.9% – 25.0 % Mature Operating Profit Margin Range 27.7% – 37.1 % 27.6% –39.7 % (a) Reflects changes only to the key assumptions used in the interim testing for certain units of accounting. Valuation of Goodwill As noted above, during the first and third quarters of 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we identified impairment indicators at certain of our radio markets, and, as such, we performed an interim analysis for certain radio market goodwill. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge of approximately $6.0 million to reduce the carrying value of our Atlanta and Indianapolis market goodwill balances. We did not identify any impairment indicators at any of our other reportable segments for the three months ended June 30, 2020. During the three months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge of approximately $10.0 million related to its Atlanta market and Indianapolis market goodwill balances.

The loan is secured on a first priority basis by the assets of UONESPV and ROEH, including all of UONESPV’s shares held by ROEH, all of UONESPV’s interests in MGM National Harbor, its rights under the joint venture operating agreement governing the MGM National Harbor and UONESPV’s obligation to exercise its put right under the joint venture operating agreement in the event of a UONESPV payment default or bankruptcy event, in each case, subject to applicable Maryland gaming laws and approvals. Exercise by UONESPV of its put right under the joint venture operating agreement is subject to required lender consent unless the proceeds are used to retire the MGM National Harbor Loan and any remaining excess is used to repay borrowings, if any, under the 2018 Credit Facility. The MGM National Harbor Loan also contains customary representations and warranties and events of default, affirmative and negative covenants (in each case, subject to materiality exceptions and qualifications). As of September 30, 2020, the Company had outstanding approximately $57.3 million on its MGM National Harbor Loan.

The amortization of deferred financing costs was charged to interest expense for all periods presented. 2017 Credit Facilities On April 18, 2017, the Company closed on a senior secured credit facility (the “2017 Credit Facility”). The 2017 Credit Facility is governed by a credit agreement by and among the Company, the lenders party thereto from time to time and Guggenheim Securities Credit Partners, LLC, as administrative agent, The Bank of New York Mellon, as collateral agent, and Guggenheim Securities, LLC as sole lead arranger and sole book running manager. The 2017 Credit Facility provides for $350 million in term loan borrowings, all of which was advanced and outstanding on the date of the closing of the transaction. The 2017 Credit Facility matures on the earlier of (i) April 18, 2023, or (ii) in the event such debt is not repaid or refinanced, 91 days prior to the maturity of the Company’s 2022 Notes (as defined below). At the Company’s election, the interest rate on borrowings under the 2017 Credit Facility are based on either (i) the then applicable base rate (as defined in the 2017 Credit Facility) as, for any day, a rate per annum (rounded upward, if necessary, to the next 1/100th of 1%) equal to the greater of (a) the prime rate published in the Wall Street Journal, (b) 1/2 of 1% in excess rate of the overnight Federal Funds Rate at any given time, (c) the one-month LIBOR rate commencing on such day plus 1.00%) and (d) 2%, or (ii) the then applicable LIBOR rate (as defined in the 2017 Credit Facility). The average interest rate was approximately 5.23% for 2020 and was 6.41% for 2019. The 2017 Credit Facility is (i) guaranteed by each entity that guarantees the Company’s 2022 Notes on a pari passu basis with the guarantees of the 2022 Notes and (ii) secured on a pari passu basis with the Company’s 2022 Notes. The Company’s obligations under the 2017 Credit Facility are secured, subject to permitted liens and except for certain excluded assets (i) on a first priority basis by certain notes priority collateral, and (ii) on a second priority basis by collateral for the Company’s asset-backed line of credit. In addition to any mandatory or optional prepayments, the Company is required to pay interest on the term loans (i) quarterly in arrears for the base rate loans, and (ii) on the last day of each interest period for LIBOR loans. Certain voluntary prepayments of the term loans during the first six months will require an additional prepayment premium. Beginning with the interest payment date occurring in June 2017 and ending in March 2023, the Company will be required to repay principal, to the extent then outstanding, equal to 1∕4 of 1% of the aggregate initial principal amount of all term loans incurred on the effective date of the 2017 Credit Facility. On December 19, 2018, upon drawing under the 2018 Credit Facility and MGM National Harbor Loan, the Company voluntarily prepaid approximately $20.0 million in principal on the 2017 Credit Facility. During each of the three month periods in September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company repaid $824,000 under the 2017 Credit Facility. During each of the nine month periods in September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company repaid approximately $2.5 million under the 2017 Credit Facility. The 2017 Credit Facility contains customary representations and warranties and events of default, affirmative and negative covenants (in each case, subject to materiality exceptions and qualifications) which may be more restrictive than those governing the 2022 Notes. The 2017 Credit Facility also contains certain financial covenants, including a maintenance covenant requiring the Company’s interest expense coverage ratio (defined as the ratio of consolidated EBITDA to consolidated interest expense) to be greater than or equal to 1.25 to 1.00 and its total senior secured leverage ratio (defined as the ratio of consolidated net senior secured indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA) to be less than or equal to 5.85 to 1.00.

As of September 30, 2020, the Company had outstanding approximately $318.2 million on its 2017 Credit Facility. The original issue discount is being reflected as an adjustment to the carrying amount of the debt obligations and amortized to interest expense over the term of the credit facility using the effective interest rate method. The amortization of deferred financing costs was charged to interest expense for all periods presented. 2022 Notes On April 17, 2015, the Company closed a private offering of $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.375% senior secured notes due 2022 (the “2022 Notes”). The 2022 Notes were offered at an original issue price of 100.0% plus accrued interest from April 17, 2015, and will mature on April 15, 2022. Interest on the 2022 Notes accrues at the rate of 7.375% per annum and is payable semiannually in arrears on April 15 and October 15, which commenced on October 15, 2015. The 2022 Notes are guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior secured basis by the Company’s existing and future domestic subsidiaries, including TV One. In connection with the closing of the 2022 Notes, the Company and the guarantor parties thereto entered into a Fourth Supplemental Indenture to the indenture governing the 2020 Notes (as defined below). Pursuant to this Fourth Supplemental Indenture, TV One, which previously did not guarantee the 2020 Notes, became a guarantor under the 2020 Notes indentures. In addition, the transactions caused a “Triggering Event” (as defined in the 2020 Notes Indenture) and, as a result, the 2020 Notes became an unsecured obligation of the Company and the subsidiary guarantors and rank equal in right of payment with the Company’s other senior indebtedness. The Company used the net proceeds from the 2022 Notes, to refinance a previous credit agreement, refinance certain TV One indebtedness, and finance the buyout of membership interests of Comcast in TV One and pay the related accrued interest, premiums, fees and expenses associated therewith. The 2022 Notes are the Company’s senior secured obligations and rank equal in right of payment with all of the Company’s and the guarantors’ existing and future senior indebtedness, including obligations under the 2017 Credit Facility and the Company’s 2020 Notes (defined below). The 2022 Notes and related guarantees are equally and ratably secured by the same collateral securing the 2017 Credit Facility and any other parity lien debt issued after the issue date of the 2022 Notes, including any additional notes issued under the Indenture, but are effectively subordinated to the Company’s and the guarantors’ secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness that does not also secure the 2022 Notes. Collateral includes substantially all of the Company’s and the guarantors’ current and future property and assets for accounts receivable, cash, deposit accounts, other bank accounts, securities accounts, inventory and related assets including the capital stock of each subsidiary guarantor. As of September 30, 2020, the Company had outstanding approximately $350.0 million of the 2022 Notes. See Note 9 - Subsequent Events . Senior Subordinated Notes On February 10, 2014, the Company closed a private placement offering of $335.0 million aggregate principal amount of 9.25% senior subordinated notes due 2020 (the “2020 Notes”). The 2020 Notes were offered at an original issue price of 100.0% plus accrued interest from February 10, 2014. The 2020 Notes were scheduled to mature on February 15, 2020. Interest accrued at the rate of 9.25% per annum and was payable semiannually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 in the initial amount of approximately $15.5 million, which commenced on August 15, 2014. The 2020 Notes were guaranteed by certain of the Company’s existing and future domestic subsidiaries and any other subsidiaries that guarantee the existing senior credit facility or any of the Company’s other syndicated bank indebtedness or capital markets securities. The Company used the net proceeds from the offering to repurchase or otherwise redeem all of the amounts then outstanding under its previous notes and to pay the related accrued interest, premiums, fees and expenses associated therewith. During the quarter ended December 31, 2018, in conjunction with entering into the 2018 Credit Facility and MGM National Harbor Loan, the Company repurchased approximately $243.0 million of its 2020 Notes at an average price of approximately 100.88% of par. On January 17, 2019, the Company announced that it had given the required notice under the indenture governing its 2020 Notes to redeem for cash all outstanding aggregate principal amount of its Notes to the extent outstanding on February 15, 2019 (the "Redemption Date"). The redemption price for the Notes was 100.0% of the principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the Redemption Date. On February 15, 2019, the remaining 2020 Notes were redeemed in full. Comcast Note Until February 2019, the Company also had outstanding a senior unsecured promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of approximately $11.9 million due to Comcast (“Comcast Note”). The Comcast Note bore interest at 10.47%, was payable quarterly in arrears, and the entire principal amount was due on April 17, 2019. However, the Company was contractually required to retire the Comcast Note in February 2019 upon redemption of the remaining 2020 Notes. On February 15, 2019, upon redemption of the remaining 2020 Notes, the Comcast Note was paid in full and retired. Asset-Backed Credit Facility On April 21, 2016, the Company entered into a senior credit agreement governing an asset-backed credit facility (the “ABL Facility”) among the Company, the lenders party thereto from time to time and Wells Fargo Bank National Association, as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”). The ABL Facility originally provided for $25 million in revolving loan borrowings in order to provide for the working capital needs and general corporate requirements of the Company. On November 13, 2019, the Company entered into an amendment to the ABL Facility, (the "ABL Amendment"), which increased the borrowing capacity from $25 million in revolving loan borrowings to $37.5 million in order to provide for the working capital needs and general corporate requirements of the Company and provides for a letter of credit facility up to $7.5 million as a part of the overall $37.5 million in capacity. The ABL Amendment also redefines the “Maturity Date” to read as follows: “Maturity Date" shall mean the earlier to occur of (a) April 21, 2021 and (b) the date that is thirty (30) days prior to the earlier to occur of (i) the Term Loan Maturity Date (as defined in the Term Loan Credit Agreement as in effect on the Effective Date or as the same may be extended in accordance with the terms of the Term Loan Credit Agreement), and (ii) the Stated Maturity (as defined in the Senior Secured Notes Indenture (as defined in the Term Loan Credit Agreement)) of the Notes (as defined in the Senior Secured Notes Indenture as in effect on the Effective Date or as the same may be extended in accordance with the terms of the Senior Secured Notes Indenture).” At the Company’s election, the interest rate on borrowings under the ABL Facility are based on either (i) the then applicable margin relative to Base Rate Loans (as defined in the ABL Facility) or (ii) the then applicable margin relative to LIBOR Loans (as defined in the ABL Facility) corresponding to the average availability of the Company for the most recently completed fiscal quarter. Advances under the ABL Facility are limited to (a) eighty-five percent (85%) of the amount of Eligible Accounts (as defined in the ABL Facility), less the amount, if any, of the Dilution Reserve (as defined in the ABL Facility), minus (b) the sum of (i) the Bank Product Reserve (as defined in the ABL Facility), plus (ii) the aggregate amount of all other reserves, if any, established by Administrative Agent. All obligations under the ABL Facility are secured by first priority lien on all (i) deposit accounts (related to accounts receivable), (ii) accounts receivable, (iii) all other property which constitutes ABL Priority Collateral (as defined in the ABL Facility). The obligations are also secured by all material subsidiaries of the Company. Finally, the ABL Facility is subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement (as defined in the ABL Facility) by and among the Administrative Agent, the administrative agent for the secured parties under the Company’s term loan and the trustee and collateral trustee under the senior secured notes indenture. As of December 31, 2019, the Company did not have any borrowings outstanding on its ABL Facility. As of September 30, 2020, the Company had approximately $27.5 million in borrowings outstanding on its ABL Facility.

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 2022 Notes, the Company’s obligations under the 2017 Credit Facility, and the obligations under the 2018 Credit Facility. The Company’s interest in the MGM National Harbor Casino fully guarantees the MGM National Harbor Loan.

INCOME TAXES | 5. INCOME TAXES: The Company generally utilizes the estimated annual effective tax rate method (“Estimated AETR Method”) prescribed under ASC 740-270, “ Interim Reporting ” to calculate the provision for income taxes. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recorded a benefit from income taxes of approximately $21.5 million on pre-tax loss from continuing operations of approximately $55.2 million utilizing the actual effective tax rate (“Discrete Method”) for the period. Economic disruptions caused by COVID-19 have impacted the Company’s ability to accurately forecast earnings in certain segments, therefore the Company continues to utilize the Discrete Method to calculate the interim tax provision for the quarter ended September 30, 2020. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) accepted the Company’s petition to extend the time to file certain procedural elections of a subsidiary corporation. The IRS acceptance resulted in a reduction of the valuation allowance against certain deferred tax assets (“DTAs”) for our net operating losses. As a result of the reduction of the valuation allowance, the Company recorded a tax benefit of approximately $12.5 million that is included in the $21.5 million benefit from income taxes recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. In accordance with ASC 740, “ Accounting for Income Taxes ”, the Company continues to evaluate the realizability of its net DTAs by assessing the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or tax returns, tax planning strategies, and future profitability. As of September 30, 2020, the Company believes it is more likely than not that these DTAs will be realized. The Company is subject to the continuous examination of our income tax returns by the IRS and other domestic tax authorities. We believe that an adequate provision has been made for any adjustments that may result from tax examinations. The Company does not currently anticipate that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change within the next twelve months. |

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES | 8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES: Royalty Agreements Musical works rights holders, generally songwriters and music publishers, have been traditionally represented by performing rights organizations, such as the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (“ASCAP”), Broadcast Music, Inc. (“BMI”) and SESAC, Inc. (“SESAC”). The market for rights relating to musical works is changing rapidly. Songwriters and music publishers have withdrawn from the traditional performing rights organizations, particularly ASCAP and BMI, and new entities, such as Global Music Rights, Inc. (“GMR”), have been formed to represent rights holders. These organizations negotiate fees with copyright users, collect royalties and distribute them to the rights holders. We currently have arrangements with ASCAP, SESAC and GMR. On April 22, 2020, the Radio Music License Committee (“RMLC”), an industry group which the Company is a part of, and BMI have reached agreement on the terms of a new license agreement that covers the period January 1, 2017, through December 31, 2021. Upon approval of the court of the BMI/RMLC agreement, the Company automatically became a party to the agreement and a license through December 31, 2021. 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 On February 24, 2015, the Company entered into a letter of credit reimbursement and security agreement. On October 8, 2019, the Company entered into an amendment to its letter of credit reimbursement and security agreement and extended the term to October 8, 2024. As of September 30, 2020, the Company had letters of credit totaling $871,000 under the agreement for certain operating leases and certain insurance policies. Letters of credit issued under the agreement are required to be collateralized with cash. Noncontrolling Interest Shareholders’ Put Rights Beginning on January 1, 2018, the noncontrolling interest shareholders of Reach Media have had an annual right to require Reach Media to purchase all or a portion of their shares at the then current fair market value for such shares (the “Put Right”). This annual right is exercisable for a 30‑day period beginning January 1 of each year. The purchase price for such shares may be paid in cash and/or registered Class D common stock of Urban One, at the discretion of Urban One. The noncontrolling interest shareholders of Reach Media did not exercise their Put Right for the 30‑day period ending January 30, 2020. Management, at this time, cannot reasonably determine the period when and if the put right will be exercised by the noncontrolling interest shareholders. |

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS | 9. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS On October 2, 2020, the Company announced the launch of an offer to eligible holders of its 7.375% Senior Secured Notes due 2022 (the “Existing Notes”) to exchange (the “Exchange Offer”) any and all of their Existing Notes for newly issued 8.75% Senior Secured Notes due 2022 (the “New Notes”). The New Notes are secured (i) on a first priority basis by substantially all of the Company’s and certain subsidiary guarantors’ current and future property and assets other than certain property and assets securing the Company’s asset-backed revolving credit facility (such property and assets, “ABL Priority Collateral”) and (ii) on a second priority basis by the ABL Priority Collateral. Eligible holders who validly tendered and did not validly withdraw their Existing Notes in the Exchange Offer prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on October 16, 2020, were eligible to receive $1,000 in principal amount of New Notes plus $10.00 in cash per $1,000 principal amount of Existing Notes. For any Existing Notes validly tendered after the Early Tender Date but before 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on October 30, 2020, were eligible to receive $1,000 in principal amount of New Notes plus $5.00 in cash per $1,000 principal amount of Existing Notes. The New Notes were offered to provide the Company with additional financial flexibility as the New Notes mature eight months after the Existing Notes are scheduled to mature. The New Notes will mature on December 15, 2022. In connection with the Exchange Offer, the Company also entered into an amendment to certain terms of its Unsecured Term Loan, dated December 4, 2018, by and among the Company, the Lenders party thereto from time to time and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Administrative Agent (the “2018 Credit Facility”), including the extension of the maturity date by 90 days which maturity is more than 90 days after the maturity date of the New Notes. In conjunction with the Exchange Offer, the Company also solicited consents (the “Consent Solicitation”) from holders of the Existing Notes (the “Consents”) to certain proposed amendments to the indenture governing the Existing Notes (the “Existing Notes Indenture”), by and among the Company, the guarantors party thereto, Wilmington Trust National Association, as trustee and as collateral agent, to eliminate substantially all of the restrictive covenants and certain of the default provisions contained in the Existing Notes Indenture and to enter into a new intercreditor agreement among the Company, the trustee for the New Notes, the trustee for the Existing Notes, the collateral agent for the New Notes and the collateral agent for the Existing Notes (collectively, the “Proposed Amendments”). The consummation of the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation was subject to customary conditions, including the receipt of Consents from at least 90% of the eligible holders and the satisfaction or waiver of other conditions set forth in the offering memorandum and consent solicitation statement prepared by the Company in connection with the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation. On October 19, 2020, the Company announced the early tender results of the Exchange Offer. Based on the early tenders as of 5:00 p.m. on the Early Tender Date, eligible holders had validly tendered and not validly withdrawn $347.0 million aggregate principal amount, representing 99.15% of the outstanding principal amount, of the Existing Notes in the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation. As of the expiration date, October 30, 2020, an aggregate of $347.0 million principal amount of Existing Notes were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn. Eligible holders who validly tendered and did not validly withdraw their Existing Notes received the early participation payments and accrued and unpaid interest in cash on their Existing Notes accepted for exchange to, but not including, the Settlement Date for the Exchange Offer. In connection with the settlement of the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation, on November 9, 2020, the Company issued $347,016,000 aggregate principal amount of the New Notes. Further information concerning the Exchange Offer and the results can be found in the Current Reports on Form 8-K dated October 2, 2020, October 19, 2020, and November 9, 2020, as on file with the SEC. On October 30, 2020, we entered into a local marketing agreement (“LMA”) with Southeastern Ohio Broadcasting System for the operation of station WWCD-FM in Columbus, Ohio beginning November 2020. Under the terms of the LMA, we will pay a monthly fee as well as certain operating costs, and, in exchange, we will retain all revenues from the sale of the advertising within the programming. On November 6, 2020, the Company announced it had signed a definitive asset exchange agreement with Entercom Communications Corp. where the Company will receive Charlotte stations: WLNK-FM (Adult Contemporary); WBT-AM & FM (News Talk Radio); and WFNZ-AM & 102.5 FM Translator (Sports Radio). As part of the transaction, Urban One will transfer three radio stations to Entercom: St. Louis, WHHL-FM (Urban Contemporary); Philadelphia, WPHI-FM (Urban Contemporary); and Washington, DC, WTEM-AM (flagship station of the Washington Football Team); as well as the intellectual property its St. Louis radio station, WFUN-FM (Adult Urban Contemporary). The Company and Entercom will begin operation of the exchanged stations on or about November 23, 2020 under LMAs until FCC approval is obtained. The deal is subject to FCC approval and other customary closing conditions and is expected to close in the first quarter of 2021.

ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | |
Organization | (a) Urban One, Inc. (a Delaware corporation referred to as “Urban 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 which is the largest radio broadcasting operation that primarily targets African-American and urban listeners. As of September 30, 2020, we owned and/or operated 61 broadcast stations (including all HD stations, translator stations and the low power television stations we operate) located in 14 of the most populous African-American markets in the United States. While a core source of our revenue has historically been and remains the sale of local and national advertising for broadcast on our radio stations, our strategy is to operate the premier multi-media entertainment and information content provider targeting African-American and urban consumers. Thus, we have diversified our revenue streams by making acquisitions and investments in other complementary media properties. Our diverse media and entertainment interests include TV One, LLC (“TV One”), an African-American targeted cable television network; our 80.0% ownership interest in Reach Media, Inc. (“Reach Media”) which operates the Rickey Smiley Morning Show and our other syndicated programming assets, including the Russ Parr Morning Show and the DL Hughley Show; and Interactive One, LLC (“Interactive One”), our wholly owned digital platform serving the African-American community through social content, news, information, and entertainment websites, including its Cassius and Bossip, HipHopWired and MadameNoire digital platforms and brands. We also hold a minority ownership interest in MGM National Harbor, a gaming resort located in Prince George’s County, Maryland. Through our national multi-media operations, we provide advertisers with a unique and powerful delivery mechanism to the African-American and urban audiences. On January 19, 2019, the Company launched CLEO TV, a lifestyle and entertainment network targeting Millennial and Gen X women of color. CLEO TV offers quality content that defies negative and cultural stereotypes of today’s modern women. The results of CLEO TV’s operations will be reflected in the Company’s cable television segment. Our core radio broadcasting franchise operates under the brand “Radio One.” We also operate our other brands, such as TV One, CLEO TV, Reach Media and Interactive One, while developing additional branding reflective of our diverse media operations and targeting our African-American and urban audiences. As part of our consolidated financial statements, consistent with our financial reporting structure and how the Company currently manages its businesses, we have provided selected financial information on the Company’s four reportable segments: (i) radio broadcasting; (ii) Reach Media; (iii) digital; and (iv) cable television. (See Note 7 – Segment Information.) |
Interim Financial Statements | (b) 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. During the fourth quarter of 2019, the Company revised the interest expense component of operating leases accounted for under ASC 842 from interest expense into operating expenses. Operating income for the quarters ended March 31, 2019, June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2019 have been reclassified in the amounts of approximately $1.3 million, $1.4 million and $1.4 million, respectively, to reflect the interest expense component of operating leases from interest expense into operating expenses. The financial statements for the quarterly periods ended March 31, June 30 and September 30, 2019 were not restated as management determined that the impact of this error is immaterial to the interim consolidated financial statements filed for each quarterly period in 2019. These revisions had no effect on any other previously reported or consolidated net income or loss or any other statement of operations, balance sheet or cash flow amounts. 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 consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10‑K. |
Financial Instruments | (c) Financial instruments as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, consisted of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, trade accounts receivable, asset-backed credit facility, long-term debt and redeemable noncontrolling interests. The carrying amounts approximated fair value for each of these financial instruments as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, except for the Company's long-term debt. The 7.375% Senior Secured Notes due in April 2022 (the “2022 Notes”) had a carrying value of approximately $350.0 million and fair value of approximately $316.8 million as of September 30, 2020. The 2022 Notes had a carrying value of approximately $350.0 million and fair value of approximately $344.8 million as of December 31, 2019. The fair values of the 2022 Notes, classified as Level 2 instruments, were determined based on the trading values of these instruments in an inactive market as of the reporting date. See Note 9 - Subsequent Events . On April 18, 2017, the Company closed on a $350.0 million senior secured credit facility (the “2017 Credit Facility”) which had a carrying value of approximately $318.2 million and fair value of approximately $266.0 million as of September 30, 2020, and had a carrying value of approximately $320.6 million and fair value of approximately $309.1 million as of December 31, 2019. The fair value of the 2017 Credit Facility, classified as a Level 2 instrument, was determined based on the trading values of this instrument in an inactive market as of the reporting date. On December 20, 2018, the Company closed on a $192.0 million unsecured credit facility (the “2018 Credit Facility”) which had a carrying value of approximately $134.7 million and fair value of approximately $137.4 million as of September 30, 2020, and had a carrying value of approximately $167.1 million and fair value of approximately $170.5 million as of December 31, 2019. The fair value of the 2018 Credit Facility, classified as a Level 2 instrument, was determined based on the trading values of this instrument in an inactive market as of the reporting date. On December 20, 2018, the Company also closed on a $50.0 million secured credit loan (the “MGM National Harbor Loan”) which had a carrying value of approximately $57.3 million and fair value of approximately $64.2 million as of September 30, 2020, and had a carrying value of approximately $52.1 million and fair value of approximately $58.4 million as of December 31, 2019. The fair value of the 2018 MGM National Harbor Loan, classified as a Level 2 instrument, was determined based on the trading values of this instrument in an inactive market as of the reporting date. The Company's asset-backed credit facility (the "ABL Facility") had a carrying value of approximately $27.5 million and fair value of approximately $27.5 million as of September 30, 2020. There was no balance outstanding on the ABL Facility as of December 31, 2019. |
Revenue Recognition | (d) In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, “ Revenue from Contracts with Customers, ” the Company recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which it expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company elected to use the modified retrospective method, but the adoption of the standard did not have a material impact to our financial statements. In general, our spot advertising (both radio and cable television) as well as our digital advertising continues to be recognized when aired and delivered. For our cable television affiliate revenue, the Company grants a license to the affiliate to access its television programming content through the license period, and the Company earns a usage based royalty when the usage occurs, consistent with our previous revenue recognition policy. Finally, for event advertising, the performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time when the activity associated with the event is completed. Within our radio broadcasting and Reach Media segments, the Company recognizes revenue for broadcast advertising at a point in time when a commercial spot runs. The revenue is reported net of agency and outside sales representative commissions. 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 $4.2 million and $6.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Agency and outside sales representative commissions were approximately $11.4 million and $17.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019. Within our digital segment, including Interactive One, which generates the majority of the Company’s digital revenue, revenue is principally derived from advertising services on non-radio station branded but Company-owned websites. Advertising services include the sale of banner and sponsorship advertisements. Advertising revenue is recognized at a point in time either as impressions (the number of times advertisements appear in viewed pages) are delivered, when “click through” purchases are made, or ratably over the contract period, where applicable. In addition, Interactive One derives revenue from its studio operations, in which it provides third-party clients with publishing services including digital platforms and related expertise. In the case of the studio operations, revenue is recognized primarily through fixed contractual monthly fees and/or as a share of the third party’s reported revenue. Our cable television segment derives advertising revenue from the sale of television air time to advertisers and recognizes revenue when the advertisements are run. Advertising revenue is recognized at a point in time when the individual spots run. To the extent there is a shortfall in contracts where the ratings were guaranteed, a portion of the revenue is deferred until the shortfall is settled, typically by providing additional advertising units generally within one year of the original airing. Our cable television segment also derives revenue from affiliate fees under the terms of various multi-year affiliation agreements based on a per subscriber fee multiplied by the most recent subscriber counts reported by the applicable affiliate. The Company recognizes the affiliate fee revenue at a point in time as its performance obligation to provide the programming is met. The Company has a right of payment each month as the programming services and related obligations have been satisfied. For our cable television segment, agency and outside sales representative commissions were approximately $3.7 million and $3.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Agency and outside sales representative commissions were approximately $10.5 million and $10.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Revenue by Contract Type The following chart shows our net revenue (and sources) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019: Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 2019 2020 2019 (In thousands, unaudited) Net Revenue: Radio Advertising $ 34,919 $ 50,813 $ 98,695 $ 144,958 Political Advertising 4,324 300 7,089 741 Digital Advertising 8,121 8,171 20,514 23,270 Cable Television Advertising 19,603 20,649 59,576 60,658 Cable Television Affiliate Fees 24,421 25,330 75,247 79,404 Event Revenues & Other 524 5,792 1,674 22,044 Net Revenue (as reported) $ 91,912 $ 111,055 $ 262,795 $ 331,075 Contract assets and liabilities Contract assets (unbilled receivables) and contract liabilities (customer advances and unearned income and unearned event income) that are not separately stated in our consolidated balance sheets at September 30, 2020, December 31, 2019 and September 30, 2019 were as follows: September 30, 2020 December 31, 2019 September 30, 2019 (Unaudited) (Unaudited) (In thousands) Contract assets: Unbilled receivables $ 7,085 $ 3,763 $ 5,968 Contract liabilities: Customer advances and unearned income $ 4,587 $ 3,048 $ 3,403 Unearned event income 6,809 6,645 3,831 Unbilled receivables consists of earned revenue on behalf of customers that have not yet been billed. Customer advances and unearned income represents advance payments by customers for future services under contract that are generally incurred in the near term. Unearned event income represents payments by customers for upcoming events. For customer advances and unearned income as of January 1, 2020, approximately $103,000 and approximately $2.2 million was recognized as revenue during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020. For unearned event income, there was no revenue recognized during the three months or nine months ended September 30, 2020. For customer advances and unearned income as of January 1, 2019, $250,000 and approximately $2.3 million, respectively, was recognized as revenue during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019. For unearned event income as of January 1, 2019, approximately $3.9 million was recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, as the event took place during the second quarter of 2019. Practical expedients and exemptions We generally expense sales commissions when incurred because the amortization period would have been one year or less. These costs are recorded within selling, general and administrative expenses. We do not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected length of one year or less or (ii) contracts for which we recognize revenue at the amount to which we have the right to invoice for services performed. |
Launch Support | (e) The cable television segment has entered into certain affiliate agreements requiring various payments for launch support. Launch support assets are used to initiate carriage under affiliation agreements and are amortized over the term of the respective contracts. The Company did not pay any launch support for carriage initiation during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019. The weighted-average amortization period for launch support is approximately 7.8 years as of September 30, 2020, and approximately 7.8 years as of December 31, 2019. The remaining weighted-average amortization period for launch support is 4.3 years and 5.1 years as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. 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. For the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, launch support asset amortization of $106,000 and $106,000, respectively, was recorded as a reduction of revenue, and $151,000 and $151,000, respectively, was recorded as an operating expense in selling, general and administrative expenses. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, launch support asset amortization of $317,000 and $317,000, respectively, was recorded as a reduction of revenue, and $454,000 and $455,000, respectively, was recorded as an operating expense in selling, general and administrative expenses. Launch assets are included in other intangible assets on the consolidated balance sheets, except for the portion of the unamortized balance that is expected to be amortized within one year which is included in other current assets. |
Barter Transactions | (f) For barter transactions, the Company provides broadcast advertising time in exchange for programming content and certain services. The Company includes the value of such exchanges in both broadcasting net revenue and 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 September 30, 2020 and 2019, barter transaction revenues were $523,000 and $574,000, respectively. Additionally, for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, barter transaction costs were reflected in programming and technical expenses of $380,000 and $424,000, respectively, and selling, general and administrative expenses of $143,000 and $150,000, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, barter transaction revenues were approximately $1.6 million and $1.7 million, respectively. Additionally, for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, barter transaction costs were reflected in programming and technical expenses of approximately $1.1 million and 1.3 million, respectively, and selling, general and administrative expenses of $429,000 and $451,000, respectively. The Company reached an agreement with a cable television provider related to an adjustment of previously estimated affiliate fees in the amount of approximately $2.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, as final reporting became available. Upon settlement of this agreement, the Company will receive approximately $2.0 million in marketing services that will be utilized in future periods. |
Earnings Per Share | (g) Basic earnings per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of shares of common stock (Classes A, B, C and D) outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of shares of common stock plus the effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. The Company’s potentially dilutive securities include stock options and unvested restricted stock. Diluted earnings per share considers the impact of potentially dilutive securities except in periods in which there is a net loss, as the inclusion of the potentially dilutive common shares would have an anti-dilutive effect. The following table sets forth the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations (in thousands, except share and per share data): Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 2019 2020 2019 (Unaudited) (In thousands, except share data) Numerator: Net (loss) income attributable to common stockholders $ (12,772) $ 5,359 $ (34,539) $ 8,846 Denominator: Denominator for basic net (loss) income per share - weighted average outstanding shares 44,175,385 44,315,077 44,738,635 44,912,673 Effect of dilutive securities: Stock options and restricted stock — 1,803,625 — 2,052,572 Denominator for diluted net (loss) income per share - weighted-average outstanding shares 44,175,385 46,118,702 44,738,635 46,965,245 Net (loss) income attributable to common stockholders per share – basic $ (0.29) $ 0.12 $ (0.77) $ 0.20 Net (loss) income attributable to common stockholders per share –diluted $ (0.29) $ 0.12 $ (0.77) $ 0.19 All stock options and restricted stock awards were excluded from the diluted calculation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. The following table summarizes the potential common shares excluded from the diluted calculation. Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 2020 (Unaudited) (In thousands) Stock options 3,849 3,849 Restricted stock awards 1,818 1,886 |
Fair Value Measurements | (h) 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 the measurement date. Level 2 : Observable inputs other than those included in Level 1 (i.e., quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets). Level 3 : Unobservable inputs reflecting management’s own assumptions about the inputs used in pricing the asset or liability. A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value instrument. As of September 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, respectively, the fair values of our financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are categorized as follows: Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 (Unaudited) (In thousands) As of September 30, 2020 Liabilities subject to fair value measurement: Contingent consideration (a) $ 1,154 — — $ 1,154 Employment agreement award (b) 27,710 — — 27,710 Total $ 28,864 $ — $ — $ 28,864 Mezzanine equity subject to fair value measurement: Redeemable noncontrolling interests (c) $ 11,117 $ — $ — $ 11,117 As of December 31, 2019 Liabilities subject to fair value measurement: Contingent consideration (a) $ 1,921 — — $ 1,921 Employment agreement award (b) 27,017 — — 27,017 Total $ 28,938 $ — $ — $ 28,938 Mezzanine equity subject to fair value measurement: Redeemable noncontrolling interests (c) $ 10,564 $ — $ — $ 10,564 (a) This balance is measured based on the income approach to valuation in the form of a Monte Carlo simulation. The Monte Carlo simulation method is suited to instances such as this where there is non-diversifiable risk. It is also well-suited to multi-year, path dependent scenarios. Significant inputs to the Monte Carlo method include forecasted net revenues, discount rate and expected volatility. A third-party valuation firm assisted the Company in estimating the contingent consideration. The long-term portion of the contingent consideration is recorded in other long-term liabilities and the current portion is recorded in other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. (b) Each quarter, pursuant to an employment agreement (the “Employment Agreement”) executed in April 2008, the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) is eligible to receive an award (the “Employment Agreement Award”) amount equal to approximately 4% 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 (based on the estimated enterprise fair value of TV One as determined by a discounted cash flow analysis) , 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 was triggered after the Company recovered the aggregate amount of certain pre-April 2015 capital contributions in TV One, and payment is required only upon actual receipt of distributions of cash or marketable securities or proceeds from a liquidity event with respect to such invested amount. The long-term portion of the award is recorded in other long-term liabilities and the current portion is recorded in other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. The CEO was fully vested in the award upon execution of the Employment Agreement, and the award lapses if the CEO voluntarily leaves the Company or is terminated for cause. A third-party valuation firm assisted the Company in estimating TV One’s fair value using a discounted cash flow analysis. Significant inputs to the discounted cash flow analysis include forecasted operating results, discount rate and a terminal value. In September 2014, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company approved terms for a new employment agreement with the CEO, including a renewal of the Employment Agreement Award upon similar terms as in the prior Employment Agreement. Prior to the quarter ended September 30, 2018, there were probability factors included in the calculation of the award related to the likelihood that the award will be realized. During the quarter ended September 30, 2018, management changed the methodology used in calculating the fair value of the Company's Employment Agreement Award liability to simplify the calculation. As part of the simplified calculation, the Company eliminated certain adjustments made to its aggregate investment in TV One, including the treatment of historical dividends paid and potential distribution of assets upon liquidation. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approved the simplified method which eliminates certain assumptions that were historically used in the determination of the fair value of this liability. (c) The redeemable noncontrolling interest in Reach Media is measured at fair value using a discounted cash flow methodology. A third-party valuation firm assisted the Company in estimating the fair value. Significant inputs to the discounted cash flow analysis include forecasted operating results, discount rate and a terminal value. There were no transfers in or out of Level 1, 2, or 3 during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The following table presents the changes in Level 3 liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis for the nine months ended September 30, 2020: Employment Redeemable Contingent Agreement Noncontrolling Consideration Award Interests (In thousands) Balance at December 31, 2019 $ 1,921 $ 27,017 $ 10,564 Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests — — 846 Distribution (766) (1,625) — Dividends paid to noncontrolling interests — — (1,000) Change in fair value (1) 2,318 707 Balance at September 30, 2020 $ 1,154 $ 27,710 $ 11,117 The amount of total (losses)/income for the period included in earnings attributable to the change in unrealized losses/income relating to assets and liabilities still held at the reporting date $ 1 $ (2,318) $ — Losses and income included in earnings were recorded in the consolidated statements of operations as corporate selling, general and administrative expenses for the employment agreement award for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019. Losses included in earnings were recorded in the consolidated statements of operations as selling, general and administrative expenses for contingent consideration for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019. As of As of December 31, Significant September 30, 2020 2019 Unobservable Significant Unobservable Level 3 liabilities Valuation Technique Inputs Input Value Contingent consideration Monte Carlo Simulation Expected volatility 39.1 % 20.8 % Contingent consideration Monte Carlo Simulation Discount Rate 16.5 % 14.5 % Employment agreement award Discounted Cash Flow Discount Rate 10.0 % 10.0 % Employment agreement award Discounted Cash Flow Long-term Growth Rate 2.0 % 2.0 % Redeemable noncontrolling interest Discounted Cash Flow Discount Rate 11.0 % 11.0 % Redeemable noncontrolling interest Discounted Cash Flow Long-term Growth Rate 1.0 % 1.0 % Any significant increases or decreases in discount rate or long-term growth rate inputs could result in significantly higher or lower fair value measurements. Certain assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis using Level 3 inputs as defined in ASC 820. These assets are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments only in certain circumstances. Included in this category are goodwill, radio broadcasting licenses and other intangible assets, net, that are written down to fair value when they are determined to be impaired, as well as content assets that are periodically written down to net realizable value. For the three months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recorded an impairment charge of approximately $10.0 million related to its Atlanta market and Indianapolis goodwill balances and also an impairment charge of approximately $19.1 million associated with our Atlanta, Cincinnati, Dallas, Houston, Indianapolis, Philadelphia and Raleigh market radio broadcasting licenses. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recorded an impairment charge of approximately $15.9 million related to its Atlanta market and Indianapolis goodwill balances and also an impairment charge of approximately $66.8 million associated with our Atlanta, Cincinnati, Dallas, Houston, Indianapolis, Philadelphia, Raleigh, Richmond and St. Louis market radio broadcasting licenses. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recorded an impairment charge of approximately $3.8 million related to its Detroit market radio broadcasting licenses. The Company concluded these assets were not impaired during the three months ended September 30, 2019. |
Leases | (i) As of January 1, 2019, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 842, Leases (“ASC 842”), using the modification retrospective transition method. Prior comparative periods will be not be restated under this new standard and therefore those amounts are not presented below. The Company adopted a package of practical expedients as allowed by the transition guidance which permits the Company to carry forward the historical assessment of whether contracts contain or are leases, classification of leases and the remaining lease terms. The Company has also made an accounting policy election to exclude leases with an initial term of twelve months or less from recognition on the consolidated balance sheet. Short-term leases will be expensed over the lease term. The Company also elected to separate the consideration in the lease contracts between the lease and non-lease components. All variable non-lease components are expensed as incurred. ASC 842 results in significant changes to the balance sheets of lessees, most significantly by requiring the recognition of right of use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases. Upon adoption of ASC 842, deferred rent balances, which were historically presented separately, were combined and presented net within the ROU asset. The adoption of this standard resulted in the Company recording an increase in ROU assets of approximately $49.8 million and an increase in lease liabilities of approximately $54.1 million. Approximately $4.3 million in deferred rent was also reclassified from liabilities to offset the applicable ROU asset. The tax impact of ASC 842, which primarily consisted of deferred gains related to previous transactions that were historically accounted for as sale and operating leasebacks in accordance with prior guidance ASC Topic 840 was recognized as part of the cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings, resulting in an increase to retained earnings, net of tax, of approximately $5.8 million. Many of the Company’s leases provide for renewal terms and escalation clauses, which are factored into calculating the lease liabilities when appropriate. The implicit rate within the Company’s lease agreements is generally not determinable and as such the Company’s collateralized borrowing rate is used. The following table sets forth the components of lease expense and the weighted average remaining lease term and the weighted average discount rate for the Company’s leases: Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 2019 2020 2019 (Unaudited) (Unaudited) (Dollars In thousands) (Dollars In thousands) Operating Lease Cost (Cost resulting from lease payments) $ 3,166 $ 3,200 $ 9,477 $ 9,642 Variable Lease Cost (Cost excluded from lease payments) 34 40 109 116 Total Lease Cost $ 3,200 $ 3,240 $ 9,586 $ 9,758 Operating Lease - Operating Cash Flows (Fixed Payments) $ 3,241 $ 3,212 $ 9,897 $ 10,010 Operating Lease - Operating Cash Flows (Liability Reduction) $ 2,080 $ 1,888 $ 6,258 $ 6,653 Weighted Average Lease Term - Operating Leases years years years years Weighted Average Discount Rate - Operating Leases % % % % As of September 30, 2020, maturities of lease liabilities were as follows: For the Year Ended December 31, (Dollars in thousands) For the remaining three months ending December 31, 2020 $ 3,394 2021 13,304 2022 12,664 2023 10,916 2024 9,795 Thereafter 13,904 Total future lease payments 63,977 Imputed interest (15,951) Total $ 48,026 |
Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements | (j) In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, “ Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments ” (“ASU 2016-13”). ASU 2016-13 is intended to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10, “ Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842): Effective Dates. ” ASU 2019-10 defers the effective date of credit loss standard ASU 2016-13 by two years for smaller reporting companies and permits early adoption. ASU 2016-13 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2023. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-13 on its financial statements. In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “ Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes ”, which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. ASU 2019-12 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2019-12 on January 1, 2020, and adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. |
Redeemable noncontrolling interest | (k) Redeemable noncontrolling interests are interests in subsidiaries that are redeemable outside of the Company’s control either for cash or other assets. These interests are classified as mezzanine equity and measured at the greater of estimated redemption value at the end of each reporting period or the historical cost basis of the noncontrolling interests adjusted for cumulative earnings allocations. The resulting increases or decreases in the estimated redemption amount are affected by corresponding charges against retained earnings, or in the absence of retained earnings, additional paid-in-capital. |
Investments - Cost Method | (l) On April 10, 2015, the Company made a $5 million investment in MGM’s world-class casino property, MGM National Harbor, located in Prince George’s County, Maryland, which has a predominately African-American demographic profile. On November 30, 2016, the Company contributed an additional $35 million to complete its investment. This investment further diversified our platform in the entertainment industry while still focusing on our core demographic. We account for this investment on a cost basis. Our MGM National Harbor investment entitles us to an annual cash distribution based on net gaming revenue. Our MGM investment is included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets and its income in the amount of approximately $1.7 million and $1.8 million, for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and approximately $3.3 million and $5.2 million, for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, is recorded in other income on the consolidated statements of operations. The cost method investment is subject to a periodic impairment review in the normal course. In connection with its impairment analysis for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company reviewed the investment and concluded that no impairment to the carrying value was required. As of December 4, 2018, the Company’s interest in the MGM National Harbor Casino secures the MGM National Harbor Loan (as defined in Note 4 – Long-Term Debt) . |
Content Assets | (m) Our cable television segment 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 ten years. 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. Acquired content is generally amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the license which reflects the estimated usage. For certain content for which the pattern of usage is accelerated, amortization is based upon the actual usage. Amortization of content assets is recorded in the consolidated statement of operations as programming and technical expenses. The Company also has programming for which the Company has engaged third parties to develop and produce, and it owns most or all rights (commissioned programming). In accordance with ASC 926, content amortization expense for each period is recognized based on the revenue forecast model, which approximates the proportion that estimated advertising and affiliate revenues for the current period represent in relation to the estimated remaining total lifetime revenues as of the beginning of the current period. Management regularly reviews, and revises when necessary, its total revenue estimates, which may result in a change in the rate of amortization and/or a write-down of the asset to fair value. Acquired program rights are recorded at the lower of unamortized cost or estimated net realizable value. Estimated net realizable values are based on the estimated revenues associated with the program materials and related expenses. The Company did not record any additional amortization expense as a result of evaluating its contracts for recoverability for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019. All produced and licensed content is classified as a long-term asset, except for the portion of the unamortized content balance that is expected to be amortized within one year which is classified as a current asset. Tax incentives that state and local governments offer that are directly measured based on production activities are recorded as reductions in production costs. |
Derivatives | (n) The Company recognizes all derivatives at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets 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. The Company accounts for the Employment Agreement Award as a derivative instrument in accordance with ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging.” The Company estimated the fair value of the award at September 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, to be approximately $27.7 million and $27.0 million, respectively, and accordingly adjusted its liability to this amount. The long-term portion is recorded in other long-term liabilities and the current portion is recorded in other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. The expense associated with the Employment Agreement Award was recorded in the consolidated statements of operations as corporate selling, general and administrative expenses and was approximately $1.0 million and $860,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2020, and 2019, respectively, and was approximately $2.3 million and $3.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Company’s obligation to pay the Employment Agreement Award was triggered after the Company recovered the aggregate amount of its capital contribution in TV One and recurs only upon actual receipt of distributions of cash or marketable securities or proceeds from a liquidity event with respect to the Company’s aggregate investment 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 September 2014, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company approved terms for a new employment agreement with the CEO, including a renewal of the Employment Agreement Award upon similar terms as in the prior employment agreement. Prior to the quarter ended September 30, 2018, there were probability factors included in the calculation of the award related to the likelihood that the award will be realized. During the quarter ended September 30, 2018, management changed the methodology used in calculating the fair value of the Company’s Employment Agreement Award liability to simplify the calculation. As part of the simplified calculation, the Company eliminated certain adjustments made to its aggregate investment in TV One, including the treatment of historical dividends paid and potential distribution of assets upon liquidation. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approved the simplified method which eliminates certain assumptions that were historically used in the determination of the fair value of this liability. |
Related Party Transactions | (o) Reach Media operates the Tom Joyner Foundation’s Fantastic Voyage ® (the “Fantastic Voyage ® ”), a fund-raising event, on behalf of the Tom Joyner Foundation, Inc. (the “Foundation”), a 501(c)(3) entity. The agreement under which the Fantastic Voyage ® operates provides that Reach Media provide all necessary operations of the cruise and that Reach Media will be reimbursed its expenditures and receive a fee plus a performance bonus. Distributions from operating revenues are in the following order until the funds are depleted: up to $250,000 to the Foundation, reimbursement of Reach’s expenditures, up to a $1.0 million fee to Reach, a performance bonus of up to 50% of remaining operating revenues to Reach Media, with the balance remaining to the Foundation. For 2021 and 2022, $250,000 to the Foundation is guaranteed. Reach Media’s earnings for the Fantastic Voyage ® in any given year may not exceed $1.75 million. The Foundation’s remittances to Reach Media under the agreements are limited to its Fantastic Voyage ® related cash collections. Reach Media bears the risk should the Fantastic Voyage ® sustain a loss and bears all credit risk associated with the related passenger cruise package sales. The agreement between Reach and the Foundation automatically renews annually unless termination is mutually agreed or unless a party’s financial requirements are not met, in which case the party not in breach of their obligations has the right, but not the obligation, to terminate unilaterally. Due to the pandemic, the 2020 cruise has been rescheduled to November 2021 and passengers have been given the option to have the majority of their payments refunded. As of September 30, 2020, due to such refunds, Reach Media has an estimated net liability to the Foundation of approximately $2.7 million. As of December 31, 2019, the Foundation owed Reach Media $24,000 under the agreements for the operation of the cruises. Reach Media provides office facilities (including office space, telecommunications facilities, and office equipment) to the Foundation. Such services are provided to the Foundation on a pass-through basis at cost. Additionally, from time to time, the Foundation reimburses Reach Media for expenditures paid on its behalf at Reach Media-related events. Under these arrangements, as of September 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, the Foundation owed $21,000 and $32,000, respectively, to Reach Media. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, Reach Media's revenues, expenses, and operating income for the Fantastic Voyage were approximately $10.2 million, $8.5 million, and $1.7 million, respectively. The Fantastic Voyage took place during the second quarter of 2019. Due to the aforementioned reschedule of the Fantastic Voyage, no cruise will be operated in 2020. |
Going Concern Assessment | (p) As part of its internal control framework, the Company routinely performs a going concern assessment. The Company has concluded that it has sufficient resources to meet its financial obligations, has additional capacity to access ABL Facility funds to finance working capital needs should the need arise, and that cash flows from operations are sufficient to meet the liquidity needs. As a result, the Company is projecting compliance with all debt covenants through the one year period following the financial statement issuance date. Beginning in March 2020, the Company noted that the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting government stay at home orders across the markets in which we operate were dramatically impacting certain of the Company's revenues. Most notably, a number of advertisers across significant advertising categories have reduced or ceased advertising spend due to the outbreak and stay at home orders which effectively shut many businesses down. This has been particularly true within our radio segment which derives substantial revenue from local advertisers who have been particularly hard hit due to social distancing and government interventions. Further, the COVID-19 outbreak has caused the postponement of our 2020 Tom Joyner Foundation Fantastic Voyage cruise and impaired ticket sales of other tent pole special events, some of which we had to cancel. We do not carry business interruption insurance to compensate us for losses that may occur as a result of any of these interruptions and continued impacts from the COVID-19 outbreak. Continued or future outbreaks and/or the speed at which businesses reopen (or reclose) in the markets in which we operate could have material impacts on our liquidity and/or operations including causing potential impairment of assets and of our financial results. Given the expected continued decreases in revenues caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, we assessed our operations considering a variety of factors, including but not limited to, media industry financial reforecasts for 2020, expected operating results, estimated net cash flows from operations, future obligations and liquidity, capital expenditure commitments and projected debt covenant compliance. If the Company were unable to meet its financial covenants, an event of default would occur and the Company's debt would have to be classified as current, which the Company would be unable to repay if lenders were to call the debt. We concluded that the potential that the Company could incur considerable decreases in operating profits and the resulting impact on the Company's ability to meet its debt service obligations and debt covenants were probable conditions giving rise to assess whether substantial doubt existed over the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. As a result, during the third quarter of 2020, the Company performed a complete reforecast of its 2020 anticipated results extending through one year from the date of issuance of the consolidated financial statements. In reforecasting its results, the Company considered the offsetting impact of certain of cost-cutting measures including furloughs, layoffs, salary reductions, other expense reduction (including eliminating travel and entertainment expenses), eliminating discretionary bonuses and merit raises, decreasing or deferring marketing spend, deferring programming/production costs, reducing special events costs, and implementing a hiring freeze on open positions. Out of an abundance of caution and to provide for further liquidity given the uncertainty around the pandemic, the Company drew approximately $27.5 million on its ABL Facility on March 19, 2020. As of September 30, 2020, that amount remained on the Company's balance sheet and together with other cash on hand improved our cash balance to approximately $102.2 million. As of November 9, 2020 our cash on hand balance is approximately $94.6 million. Based on the Company’s forecast operational activity, its ability to manage and delay any capitalized expenditures and additional variable cost-cutting measures, the Company has adequate cash reserves and sufficient liquidity into the foreseeable future or for the next 12 months. As a result of the cost reduction measures that the Company took in in response to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company’s current cash balance and further, considering certain remaining countermeasures the Company can implement in the event of further or continued downturn, the Company anticipates meeting its debt service requirements and is projecting compliance with all debt covenants through one year from the date of issuance of the consolidated financial statements. This estimate is, however, subject to substantial uncertainty, in particular due to the unpredictable extent and duration of the impact of COVID-19 on our business, and the concentration of certain of our revenues in areas that could be deemed “hotspots” for the pandemic, and other factors described in Part II, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” herein and Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 as well as the factors discussed in Part II, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in each of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 and our Quarterly Report on Form 10- Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2020. |

Schedule of fair values of our financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis | Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 (Unaudited) (In thousands) As of September 30, 2020 Liabilities subject to fair value measurement: Contingent consideration (a) $ 1,154 — — $ 1,154 Employment agreement award (b) 27,710 — — 27,710 Total $ 28,864 $ — $ — $ 28,864 Mezzanine equity subject to fair value measurement: Redeemable noncontrolling interests (c) $ 11,117 $ — $ — $ 11,117 As of December 31, 2019 Liabilities subject to fair value measurement: Contingent consideration (a) $ 1,921 — — $ 1,921 Employment agreement award (b) 27,017 — — 27,017 Total $ 28,938 $ — $ — $ 28,938 Mezzanine equity subject to fair value measurement: Redeemable noncontrolling interests (c) $ 10,564 $ — $ — $ 10,564 (a) This balance is measured based on the income approach to valuation in the form of a Monte Carlo simulation. The Monte Carlo simulation method is suited to instances such as this where there is non-diversifiable risk. It is also well-suited to multi-year, path dependent scenarios. Significant inputs to the Monte Carlo method include forecasted net revenues, discount rate and expected volatility. A third-party valuation firm assisted the Company in estimating the contingent consideration. The long-term portion of the contingent consideration is recorded in other long-term liabilities and the current portion is recorded in other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. (b) Each quarter, pursuant to an employment agreement (the “Employment Agreement”) executed in April 2008, the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) is eligible to receive an award (the “Employment Agreement Award”) amount equal to approximately 4% 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 (based on the estimated enterprise fair value of TV One as determined by a discounted cash flow analysis) , 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 was triggered after the Company recovered the aggregate amount of certain pre-April 2015 capital contributions in TV One, and payment is required only upon actual receipt of distributions of cash or marketable securities or proceeds from a liquidity event with respect to such invested amount. The long-term portion of the award is recorded in other long-term liabilities and the current portion is recorded in other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. The CEO was fully vested in the award upon execution of the Employment Agreement, and the award lapses if the CEO voluntarily leaves the Company or is terminated for cause. A third-party valuation firm assisted the Company in estimating TV One’s fair value using a discounted cash flow analysis. Significant inputs to the discounted cash flow analysis include forecasted operating results, discount rate and a terminal value. In September 2014, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company approved terms for a new employment agreement with the CEO, including a renewal of the Employment Agreement Award upon similar terms as in the prior Employment Agreement. Prior to the quarter ended September 30, 2018, there were probability factors included in the calculation of the award related to the likelihood that the award will be realized. During the quarter ended September 30, 2018, management changed the methodology used in calculating the fair value of the Company's Employment Agreement Award liability to simplify the calculation. As part of the simplified calculation, the Company eliminated certain adjustments made to its aggregate investment in TV One, including the treatment of historical dividends paid and potential distribution of assets upon liquidation. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approved the simplified method which eliminates certain assumptions that were historically used in the determination of the fair value of this liability. (c) The redeemable noncontrolling interest in Reach Media is measured at fair value using a discounted cash flow methodology. A third-party valuation firm assisted the Company in estimating the fair value.
