Nature of Business	'
	Note 1. Nature of Business
	Nature of business:   The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Hemisphere Media Group, Inc. (“Hemisphere” or the “Company”), the parent holding company of Cine Latino, Inc. (“Cinelatino”), WAPA Holdings, LLC (formerly known as InterMedia Español Holdings, LLC) (“WAPA”), and HMTV Cable, Inc., the parent company of the entities for the newly acquired networks consisting of Pasiones, TV Dominicana, and Centroamerica TV (see below).   Hemisphere was formed on January 16, 2013 for purposes of effecting the Transaction, which was consummated on April 4, 2013.  The Company determines its operating segments based upon (i) financial information reviewed by the chief operating decision maker, the Chief Executive Officer, (ii) internal management and related reporting structure and (iii) the basis upon which the chief operating decision maker makes resource allocation decisions. We have one operating segment, Hemisphere. In these notes, the terms “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our” mean Hemisphere and all subsidiaries included in our condensed consolidated financial statements.
	Basis of Presentation:   The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for Hemisphere and its subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.   Accordingly, certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although we believe that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. In our opinion, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair statement have been included. Our financial condition as of, and operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the financial condition or results that may be expected for any future interim period or for the year ending December 31, 2014. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.
	As discussed in Note 2 of the financial statements included in our 2013 Annual Report, on April 4, 2013, the merger by and among Cinelatino, WAPA and Azteca as indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of Hemisphere, which we refer to as the Transaction, was consummated. The Transaction was accounted for by applying the acquisition method in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). Under ASC 805, WAPA was determined to be the accounting acquirer.   As such, the historical results presented represent WAPA’s historical results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and Cine Latino’s historical results for the three months ended June 30, 2013. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we finalized our accounting for the Transaction, which resulted in a measurement period adjustment of $0.7 million of additional amortization expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2013, accordingly the condensed consolidated statements of operations for three and six months ended June 30, 2013, included herein reflect this adjustment.
	On April 1, 2014, we acquired the assets of three Spanish-language cable television networks from Media World, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“Media World”), for $101.9 million in cash. The three acquired cable networks include Pasiones, Centroamerica TV and TV Dominicana. For more information, see Note 2, “Business Combination” of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.
	Reclassification:    Certain prior year deferred taxes have been reclassified from current to non-current on the accompanying balance sheet which resulted in a net current deferred asset and a net non-current deferred liability to conform to the fiscal 2014 presentation with no effect on net income or stockholders’ equity.
	Net Earnings (Loss) per Common Share:   Basic earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) are computed by dividing income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the number of weighted-average outstanding shares of common stock.  Diluted EPS reflects the effect of the assumed exercise of stock options and vesting of restricted shares only in the periods in which such effect would have been dilutive.
	The following table sets forth the computation of the common shares outstanding used in determining basic and diluted EPS (amounts in thousands):
		Three Months Ended June 30,					Six Months Ended June 30,
		2014		2013			2014		2013
	Numerator for earnings (loss) per common share calculation:
	Net income (loss)	$	5,318	$	(2,426	)	$	5,566	$	(2,951	)
	Denominator for earnings (loss) per common share calculation:
	Weighted-average common shares, basic	42,345		40,711			42,259		20,468
	Effect of dilutive securities
	Stock options, resticted stock and warrants	173		—			248		—
	Weighted-average common shares, diluted	42,518		40,711			42,507		20,468
	EPS
	Basic	$	0.13	$	(0.06	)	$	0.13	$	(0.14	)
	Diluted	$	0.13	$	(0.06	)	$	0.13	$	(0.14	)
	We apply the treasury stock method to measure the dilutive effect of our outstanding stock options and restricted stock awards and include the respective common share equivalents in the denominator of our diluted income (loss) per common share calculation. Potentially dilutive securities representing 8.1 million and 9.0 million shares of common stock for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, were excluded from the computation of diluted income per common share for this period because their effect would have been anti-dilutive. The net income (loss) per share amounts are the same for our Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class A common stock”) and Class B common stock, par $0.0001 per share (“Class B common stock”) because the holders of each class are legally entitled to equal per share distributions whether through dividends or in liquidation.
	Use of estimates:  In preparing these financial statements, management had to make estimates and assumptions that affected the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the balance sheets date, and the reported revenues and expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013. Such estimates are based on historical experience and other assumptions that are considered appropriate in the circumstances. However, actual results could differ from those estimates.
	Recent Accounting Pronouncements: In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-12, Compensation — Stock Compensation (Topic 718) — Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period, which requires that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. The standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, but early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
	In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).  The core principle of the standard is to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.  The standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, early application is not permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Business Combination	'
Business Combination	'
	Note 2. Business Combination
	On April 1, 2014, we closed on the acquisition of the net assets of the Spanish-language television network business of Media World (the “Cable Networks Acquisition”), which is comprised of Pasiones, Centroamerica TV and TV Dominicana, which we refer to as the Acquired Cable Networks.  The Acquired Cable Networks are highly complementary to our existing television networks, and build on our commitment to provide unique programming focused on the U.S. Hispanic market.  The purchase price for the Cable Networks Acquisition and certain agreements entered into with MediaWorld contemporaneously with the business combination was $101.9 million, and was funded with cash on hand.  The Cable Networks Acquisition was accounted for by applying the acquisition method, which requires the determination of the fair value of the consideration transferred, the fair value of the assets and liabilities of the acquiree, and the measurement of goodwill pursuant to ASC Topic 805-10, “Business Combinations-Overall”.  Costs incurred in connection with the Cable Networks Acquisition are included in other expenses and totaled $1.2 million, of which $0.9 million was recorded in the fourth quarter of 2013, with the balance recorded in 2014.
	The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and resulting goodwill in the Cable Networks Acquisition (amounts in thousands):
	Other assets	$	177
	Intangible asset - affiliate agreements	46,014
	Intangible asset - brands	15,986
	Intangible asset - advertiser relationships	3,310
	Intangible assets - other	648
	Other liabilities	(2,124		)
	Fair value of identifiable net assets acquired	64,012
	Goodwill	34,093
	Total	$	98,105
	In addition to the above identifiable assets, the estimated fair values of a non-compete agreement entered into with Media World and a consulting agreement with certain Media World executives are $3.3 million and $0.5 million, respectively, which are accounted for separately from the Cable Networks Acquisition.
	The estimated fair value of the affiliate agreements of $46.0 million was determined using a discounted cash flow method utilizing an 8.5% discount rate.  This intangible asset will be amortized on a straight-line basis over eight years.  The estimated fair value of the television network brands of $16.0 million was determined using a discounted cash flow based method based on a royalty rate of 5% and utilizing an 8.5% discount rate.  This intangible asset was determined to be indefinite-lived given the strong association of the brand with the content appearing on the networks and their respective target audiences. The estimated fair values of the advertiser relationships and non-compete agreement of $3.3 million each were determined using a discounted cash flow method utilizing an 8.5% discount rate and will be amortized on a straight-line basis over six years.  All other intangibles of $1.1 million will be amortized over a period of one year or less.
	Goodwill of $34.1 million is the excess of the net consideration transferred over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired, and primarily represents the benefits we expect to realize from the Cable Networks Acquisition and the synergistic opportunities with our existing networks.  The goodwill associated with the transaction is deductible for tax purposes.
	In connection with the Cable Networks Acquisition, we determined that it is reasonably certain that its foreign tax credits will be realized and, as a result, reversed the valuation allowance previously recorded of $2.5 million.
	Pro Forma Information
	The following table sets forth the unaudited pro forma results of operations assuming that the Cable Networks Acquisition occurred on January 1, 2013:
		Three Months Ended June 30,					Six Months Ended June 30,
		2014			2013		2014		2013
	Net Revenues	$	29,055		$	28,374	$	55,868	$	47,327
	Operating Income	$	6,674		$	3,144	$	11,472	$	3,692
	The unaudited pro forma results of operations for all periods set forth above includes the operating results of the Acquired Cable Networks, and amortization of finite-lived intangible assets identified as a result of the Cable Networks Acquisition, and excludes all transaction related fees and expenses, and non-recurring expenses (primarily the $3.8 million charge in the 2013 periods as a result of the termination of an agreement in connection with the April 4, 2013 Transaction). These are the combined historical results of operations of Hemisphere and the Acquired Cable Networks. These unaudited pro forma results are presented for illustrative purposes and are not intended to represent or be indicative of the actual results of operations of the combined company that would have been achieved had the Cable Networks Acquisition occurred on January 1, 2013, nor are they intended to represent or be indicative of future results of operations.
	Net revenues and operating income of the Acquired Cable Networks included in our actual condensed consolidated statements of operations were $5.8 million and $1.3 million respectively, for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2014.

	For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, our income tax expense has been computed utilizing the estimated annual effective rate of 38.8%.  Following the Cable Networks Acquisition on April 1, 2014, we determined that it was reasonably certain that our foreign tax credits will be realized and reversed the valuation allowance previously recorded of $2.5 million, which is primarily the difference between the actual effective tax rate and the annual effective tax rate of 38.8%.
	For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, our statutory Federal income tax rate of 34.0% increased to the annual effective income tax rate of 102.7% as a result of increases in the tax rate in Puerto Rico from 30.0% to 39.0% that will not generate offsetting U.S. income tax credits, the loss of a deferred tax asset as a result of the increase in the tax rate in Puerto Rico, permanent differences as a result of transaction costs, and statutory taxes.

		$	169,985		$	170,731
	On July 30, 2013 certain of our subsidiaries entered into a credit agreement providing for a $175.0 million senior secured term loan B facility (the “Term Loan Facility”) which matures on July 30, 2020. The Term Loan Facility also provides an uncommitted accordion option (the “Incremental Facility”) allowing for additional borrowings under the Term Loan Facility up to an aggregate principal amount equal to (i) $20 million plus (ii) an additional amount of up to 4.0x first lien net leverage. The obligations under the Term Loan Facility are guaranteed by HMTV, LLC, our direct wholly-owned subsidiary, and all of our existing and future subsidiaries (subject to certain exceptions in the case of immaterial subsidiaries). The Term Loan Facility is secured by a first-priority perfected security interest in substantially all of our assets. Pricing on the Term Loan Facility was set at LIBOR plus 500 basis points (with a LIBOR floor of 1.25%), resulting in an effective interest rate 6.25%, and 1.0% of original issue discount (“OID”). The OID of $1.5 million, net of accumulated amortization of $0.2 million at June 30, 2014, was recorded as a reduction to the principal amount of the Term Loan Facility outstanding and will be amortized as a component of interest expense over the term of the Term Loan Facility. The proceeds of the Term Loan Facility were used to repay in full all outstanding debt obligations at our subsidiaries, to pay fees and expenses associated with the financing, and for general corporate purposes including potential future acquisitions. We recorded $3.0 million of debt issue costs associated with the Term Loan Facility, net of accumulated amortization of $0.5 million at June 30, 2014.
	The Term Loan Facility principal payments are payable on quarterly due dates commencing September 30, 2013, with a final installment on July 30, 2020.
	In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Term Loan Facility, within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year (commencing with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2014), the Borrowers are required to make a prepayment of the loan principal in an amount equal to 50% of the excess cash flow of the most recently completed fiscal year. Excess cash flow is generally defined as net income plus depreciation and amortization expense, less mandatory prepayments of the term loan, interest charges, income taxes and capital expenditures, and adjusted for the change in working capital. The percentage of the excess cash flow used to determine the amount of the prepayment of the loan declines from 50% to 25% and again to 0% at lower leverage ratios.
	The carrying value of the long-term debt approximates fair value at December 31, 2013 and June 30, 2014. The estimated fair value of our variable-rate debt was derived from quoted market prices by independent dealers (Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures).

	Equity Incentive Plans
	An aggregate of 4.0 million shares of our Class A common stock were authorized for issuance under the terms of the Hemisphere Media Group, Inc. 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (our “2013 Equity Incentive Plan”).  As of June 30, 2014, 1.3 million shares of restricted Class A common stock and 1.8 million options to purchase shares of our Class A common stock were awarded under our 2013 Equity Incentive Plan. At June 30, 2014, 1.1 million shares remained available for issuance of stock options or other stock-based awards under our 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (including shares of restricted Class A common stock surrendered to us in payment of taxes required to be withheld in respect of vested shares of restricted Class A common stock and available for issuance). The expiration date of the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan, on and after which date no awards may be granted, is April 4, 2023.  Our board of directors administers the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan, and has the sole and plenary authority to, among other things: (i) designate participants; (ii) determine the type, size, and terms and conditions of awards to be granted; and (iii) determine the method by which an award may be settled, exercised, canceled, forfeited, or suspended.
	Our time-based restricted stock awards and option awards generally vest in three equal annual installments beginning on the first anniversary of the grant date, subject to the grantee’s continued employment or service with us. Our event-based restricted stock awards and option awards generally vest upon our Class A common stock attaining a $15.00 closing price per share, as quoted on the NASDAQ Global Market, on at least 10 trading days, subject to the grantee’s continued employment or service with us. Other event-based restricted stock awards granted to certain members of our board of directors vest on the day preceding our 2015 annual shareholder meeting.
	Stock-Based Compensation
	Stock-based compensation expense related to stock options and restricted stock was $1.7 million and $3.1 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $3.2 million and $4.0 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. At June 30, 2014, there was $4.2 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options, which is expected to be recognized over weighted-average period of 2.6 years. At June 30, 2014, there was $5.4 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested restricted stock, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.7 years.
	Stock Options
	The fair value of stock options granted is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes pricing model for time-based options and the Monte Carlo simulation model for event-based options.  The expected term of options granted is derived using the simplified method under ASC 718-10-S99-1/SEC Topic 14.D for “plain vanilla” options and the Monte Carlo simulation for event-based options.  Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of our competitors given our lack of trading history. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield for a period consistent with the expected term of the option in effect at the time of the grant. We have estimated forfeitures of 1.5% and have assumed no dividend yield, as dividends have never been paid to stock or option holders and will not be paid for the foreseeable future.

	Warrants
	In connection with our capitalization noted above, we have issued 14.7 million warrants, which qualify as equity instruments. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one-half of one share of our Class A common stock at a price of $6.00 per half share. At December 31, 2013, 14.7 million warrants were issued and outstanding, which are exercisable into 7.3 million shares of our Class A common stock. Warrants are only exercisable for a whole number of shares of common stock (i.e. only an even number of warrants may be exercised at any given time by a registered holder). As a result, a holder must exercise a least two warrants, at an effective exercise price of $12.00 per share. At our option, 10.0 million warrants may be called for redemption, provided that the last sale price of our Class A common stock reported has been at least $18.00 per share on each of twenty trading days within the thirty-day period ending on the third business day prior to the date on which notice of redemption is given. The warrants expire on April 4, 2018.  During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we issued 50 shares of our Class A common stock upon the exercise of warrants, for total exercise proceeds of $600.

Basis of Presentation:	'
	Basis of Presentation:   The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for Hemisphere and its subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.   Accordingly, certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although we believe that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. In our opinion, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair statement have been included. Our financial condition as of, and operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the financial condition or results that may be expected for any future interim period or for the year ending December 31, 2014. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.
	As discussed in Note 2 of the financial statements included in our 2013 Annual Report, on April 4, 2013, the merger by and among Cinelatino, WAPA and Azteca as indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of Hemisphere, which we refer to as the Transaction, was consummated. The Transaction was accounted for by applying the acquisition method in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). Under ASC 805, WAPA was determined to be the accounting acquirer.   As such, the historical results presented represent WAPA’s historical results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and Cine Latino’s historical results for the three months ended June 30, 2013. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we finalized our accounting for the Transaction, which resulted in a measurement period adjustment of $0.7 million of additional amortization expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2013, accordingly the condensed consolidated statements of operations for three and six months ended June 30, 2013, included herein reflect this adjustment.
	On April 1, 2014, we acquired the assets of three Spanish-language cable television networks from Media World, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“Media World”), for $101.9 million in cash. The three acquired cable networks include Pasiones, Centroamerica TV and TV Dominicana. For more information, see Note 2, “Business Combination” of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.
Reclassification	'
	Reclassification:    Certain prior year deferred taxes have been reclassified from current to non-current on the accompanying balance sheet which resulted in a net current deferred asset and a net non-current deferred liability to conform to the fiscal 2014 presentation with no effect on net income or stockholders’ equity.
Net Earnings (Loss) per Common Share:	'
	Net Earnings (Loss) per Common Share:   Basic earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) are computed by dividing income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the number of weighted-average outstanding shares of common stock.  Diluted EPS reflects the effect of the assumed exercise of stock options and vesting of restricted shares only in the periods in which such effect would have been dilutive.
	The following table sets forth the computation of the common shares outstanding used in determining basic and diluted EPS (amounts in thousands):
		Three Months Ended June 30,					Six Months Ended June 30,

	Effect of dilutive securities
	Stock options, resticted stock and warrants	173		—			248		—

	Diluted	$	0.13	$	(0.06	)	$	0.13	$	(0.14	)
	We apply the treasury stock method to measure the dilutive effect of our outstanding stock options and restricted stock awards and include the respective common share equivalents in the denominator of our diluted income (loss) per common share calculation. Potentially dilutive securities representing 8.1 million and 9.0 million shares of common stock for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, were excluded from the computation of diluted income per common share for this period because their effect would have been anti-dilutive. The net income (loss) per share amounts are the same for our Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class A common stock”) and Class B common stock, par $0.0001 per share (“Class B common stock”) because the holders of each class are legally entitled to equal per share distributions whether through dividends or in liquidation.
Use of estimates:	'
	Use of estimates:  In preparing these financial statements, management had to make estimates and assumptions that affected the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the balance sheets date, and the reported revenues and expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013. Such estimates are based on historical experience and other assumptions that are considered appropriate in the circumstances. However, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Recent accounting pronouncements:	'
	Recent Accounting Pronouncements: In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-12, Compensation — Stock Compensation (Topic 718) — Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period, which requires that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. The standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, but early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
	In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).  The core principle of the standard is to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.  The standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, early application is not permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
