BUSINESS OVERVIEW Our company is comprised of a leading network radio business and two cable television networks. We syndicate radio programming and services to more than 5,350 radio stations throughout the United States and reach approximately 152 million listeners each week through our network radio business. Our cable programming is distributed to approximately 2,600 cable television systems throughout the United States and currently is available to over 47 million cable households on a full- or part-time basis. In 2000, we began to offer Internet advertising sales services. We also provide satellite services to facilitate the distribution of our programming and that of other companies. Our business includes the following: - NETWORK RADIO Our network radio business encompasses the programming and services we provide to radio stations as well as services we provide to third party producers. We syndicate to local radio stations approximately 1,800 hours of original radio programming weekly. This programming is comprised of ten 24-hour formats and 21 syndicated programs. The syndicated programs range in length from less than five minutes per day to as much as five hours per day. Our radio programming covers a wide variety of genres, such as country, adult contemporary, talk and classic rock. It features well-known syndicated programs such as Delilah, Lia, Dallas Live From Nashville and The Crook & Chase Country Countdown. - CABLE TELEVISION NETWORKS Our cable television networks consist of Great American Country (GAC), a 24-hour country music video network, and Product Information Network (PIN), which airs long-form paid programming produced by advertisers and infomercial providers. At December 31, 2000, GAC reached approximately 12.8 million subscribers (based on subscriber counts provided by cable operators). According to the December 2000 Sample Reports issued by Nielsen Media Research, GAC reached approximately 15 million subscriber households. PIN reaches approximately 35 million households on a full- or part- time basis. We own all of GAC, and we own 55.3% of PIN through a joint venture with Cox Communications, Inc. 1 - INTERNET ADVERTISING SALES SERVICES In 2000, we began offering Internet advertising sales services, with initial focus on streaming media advertising. Streaming media, commonly called web casting, is programming transmitted over the Internet, instead of traditional radio and television airwaves. Currently we represent approximately 13 streaming media clients, most of which provide streaming audio services on the Internet. - SATELLITE SERVICES We provide satellite delivery and earth station support services for GAC, PIN and cable channels operated by other companies. We own two satellite transponders and an uplink facility. Ownership of these assets allows us to control the distribution of our radio and cable programming. It also provides us with a cost-effective platform for launching new radio and cable networks. We generate additional revenues from leasing excess satellite capacity and providing related support services to other cable programmers. BACKGROUND We are a Colorado corporation incorporated in 1998 and are the successor to certain affiliated entities that previously conducted our businesses. In an effort to better reflect our core business focus, we changed our name from Jones International Networks, Ltd. to Jones Media Networks, Ltd., in December 2000. We are a holding company. Our operations are conducted through a number of subsidiaries, including Jones Radio Network, Jones Broadcast Programming (f/k/a Broadcast Programming) and Jones MediaAmerica (f/k/a MediaAmerica) (all network radio), Great American Country and Product Information Network Venture (cable television programming), and Jones Earth Segment and Jones Space Holdings (satellite services). Our principal shareholder is Jones International, Ltd., which owns a number of subsidiaries with which we have business dealings. Until April 1999, Jones International owned a controlling interest in Jones Intercable, a large multi-system cable television operator. Our corporate offices are located at 9697 East Mineral Avenue, Englewood, Colorado 80112. Our telephone number is (303) 792-3111. PRINCIPAL BUSINESSES NETWORK RADIO We are the leading independent (non-broadcaster owned) provider of high-quality radio programming to radio stations nationwide. We distribute radio programming and 2 services to radio stations in exchange for advertising time (commercial inventory) that we sell to national advertisers. This is known in the media industry as "barter syndication." This allows us to provide radio stations with a cost efficient alternative to the talent, time and production expense required to develop in-house programming. We offer radio stations a wide selection of 24-hour satellite delivered formats, syndicated programming and services, including programming consulting. Our high-quality, personality-driven programming expands our affiliated stations' programming selections and enables them to more effectively compete in their markets. Our network radio operations feature over 100 on-air personalities, the majority of whom have extensive top 25 market experience. We control the production of our programming, which allows us to tailor our programs to respond to current and changing listening preferences. Our high quality, distinctive content is designed to enable radio stations to improve the quality of their programming and to differentiate their on-air presentations from other stations in their local markets. In many instances, this allows our affiliated stations to realize higher ratings and advertising revenues with lower out-of-pocket expenses. To supplement our in-house programming capabilities, we have agreements with third party programmers to license and distribute their distinctive, high-quality content. An example of such third party content is "Music Of Your Life," a 24-hour network targeted to a mature audience, hosted by Gary Owens, Wink Martindale and other well-known personalities. Agreements with third party programmers usually provide that the programmer creates and develops the radio program at its cost. Our role is to: - market the program to radio stations; - manage the relationship with radio station affiliates; - sell national advertising; and - provide technical support and other ancillary services. In return for providing the station with programming content, we receive commercial inventory, which we then sell to national advertisers. The amount of commercial inventory we receive is based on several factors, including the type and length of the programming and the size of the radio station affiliate. In some instances, we may also receive a monthly license fee in addition to or in lieu of the commercial inventory. We believe we are the largest independent network radio sales organization in the country. Through this organization, we are able to aggregate audiences based on the radio stations receiving our programming, creating a sufficiently large audience of listeners to attract national advertisers. The commercial inventory is then sold to advertisers, who seek to reach their target audiences in a cost-efficient and effective manner. 3 In addition, we provide advertising sales services to third party producers, who pay us a commission for the sale of the commercial inventory and related services, such as inventory management, commercial scheduling, billing, collections and proof-of-performance collection. By consolidating the commercial inventory of our owned programming with the commercial inventory of third parties, we have the ability to create advertising packages reaching a national audience. This enables us to attract major network radio advertisers while providing a valuable service to third party producers. Our 16 radio advertising account executives and sales managers are located in six major advertising markets in the United States (New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas, Detroit and Nashville). These account executives market the commercial inventory of our owned programs and our third party producers via personal selling to national advertisers and their advertising agencies. The sales team has an average of 18 years experience in the advertising and sales management arena. Additionally, we are continuing to develop numerous cross-selling opportunities and other synergies that arise from the complementary nature of our services and customer base of national advertisers. We have developed a state of the art, proprietary software system that handles the sales proposal, commercial inventory management and order processing for our advertising sales. In addition, our research department continuously analyzes a variety of data to provide our salespeople with accurate estimates of listening audiences, creative means to demonstrate the particular advantages of the programs we sell, and network radio's advantages versus other media forms. We utilize audience listening data from Arbitron, an independent rating service, to develop our audience and demographic reports for all of our programs. We market our radio programming directly to radio stations through our 32-person affiliate sales group. Our affiliate sales group uses industry market research and databases to identify prospective radio station affiliates. Using this data, our salespeople develop relationships with radio station affiliates in order to serve discrete station programming needs. In addition, our marketing team assists in the sales effort with marketing campaigns, direct mail, trade advertising and sales materials. Our presence at industry conventions and trade shows also allows us to increase awareness of our radio programming and secure new radio station affiliates. We have affiliate agreements with approximately 3,200 radio stations throughout the United States. Our programming is generally sold on an exclusive basis to stations in their city of license. However, we are able to place different programs within the same market. Our network radio programs and services consist of - 24-hour formats, - long-form syndicated programs, - short-form syndicated programs, 4 - programming and consulting services and - advertising sales and other services. 24-HOUR FORMATS. We deliver ten 24-hour music programs that cover many of the major music formats used by radio stations nationwide. We have radio station affiliates in all 50 states and in the 50 largest markets. Our network is designed to provide complete content for our affiliated radio stations, replacing their in-house on-air talent and significantly reducing their production costs. Our "round- the-clock" satellite-delivered programming is aired live and hosted by professional radio announcers. Examples of this type of programming include the country, adult contemporary, adult standards, classic rock and oldies formats. In order to present a localized image, our on-air talent records unique liners and positioning statements for each affiliate, which are delivered via satellite for insertion at the local station. In addition, our programming provides stations with breaks to insert locally sold commercials, news, weather or traffic. As compensation for providing 24-hour programming content and services, we receive one or two minutes per hour of commercial inventory airtime. In situations in which we receive two minutes per hour of inventory, we may also receive a monthly license fee from stations providing a lower level of audience, as measured by average quarter hour audience ("AQH"). The typical term of these license agreements is one to three years. Historically, contract renewals average between 80% and 85%. During 2001, we anticipate launching several new 24-hour formats that will target the urban/African American market. These are being developed in conjunction with Henry/Kelly Programming Service, Inc. The first of these was launched in February 2001. LONG-FORM SYNDICATED PROGRAMMING. Long-form syndicated programming is designed to fill, on a daily or weekly basis, a one- to six-hour time period, such as - 6 am to 10 am, - 10 am to noon, - 4 pm to 5 pm, - 7 pm to midnight and - midnight to 6 am. These programs include shows hosted by nationally known personalities, interview shows featuring popular music talent and music countdown shows. We will continue to develop and acquire new syndicated programming in order to increase our talent pool and audience size and to respond to the needs of our affiliate stations. In July 1998, we launched "Dallas Live From Nashville," a long-form country show produced in Nashville and distributed to over 100 radio stations via satellite. In June 2000, we launched the "Weissbach the Quest," and in February 2001, we launched "Body & Soul." We have also added two high-growth syndicated shows, "Delilah" and 5 "Lia," through our acquisition of Broadcast Programming in August 1999. We also have web sites for certain of these programs, such as - radiodelilah.com, - radiolia.com and - dallaslivefromnashville.com. We target and distribute our long-form programming to larger market radio stations. These shows, because they are personality-driven, tend to garner high ratings in the markets where they are carried. In return for providing this programming, we receive up to six minutes per hour of commercial inventory from our radio station affiliates for each hour of programming. The typical affiliate agreement for long-form programming is one year. Our long form radio programming includes - Delilah, - Lia, - Your Weekend with Jim Brickman, - Dallas Live From Nashville, - Weissbach the Quest, - The McLaughlin Radio Hour, - Body & Soul and - The Crook & Chase Country CountDown. SHORT-FORM SYNDICATED PROGRAMMING. Our short-form programs, which are generally less than five minutes in duration, consist largely of 60 to 90 second entertainment news reports that can be interactive with the programming of affiliated radio stations. The typical affiliate agreement for short-form programming is approximately one year. We receive one to two minutes of commercial inventory in return for such programming. Our short-form radio programming includes - FightBack! With David Horowitz, - Oldies Calendar With CharlieTuna and - Moneyhunt. SERVICES. We also provide radio stations services such as news, information on current events and comedy services designed to assist on-air talent in preparation for these shows. Examples include - American Comedy Network, - Associated Press News and - Launch Radio. 6 CONSULTING. We also provide music programming and consulting services to radio stations, including - full-service programming consulting, - music libraries and new music updates, - song-by-song music scheduling, - announcer voice-tracks for automated stations, - automation system integration and support and - advice, information and training. ADVERTISING SALES AND OTHER SERVICES. We also provide advertising sales, affiliate sales and other services to third party producers and others, including - Cox Radio, - Motor Racing Network (NASCAR), - CNN Radio Noticias, - VNU's Broadcast Data Systems and - Sirius Satellite Radio. CABLE TELEVISION PROGRAMMING We provide cable television programming through two networks: - Great American Country; and - Product Information Network. GREAT AMERICAN COUNTRY. GAC is a 24-hour country music video network which was launched on December 31, 1995. GAC features a mix of current top country hits and past country hits that capitalize on the popularity of country music. GAC is programmed to appeal to the largest, most affluent market segment of the country music audience-the 25 to 54 age group. GAC acquires its music videos at no cost from record companies, which use this method to promote their performing artists. GAC also produces and airs long form shows, including "Fast Forward," "The Top 15 Country Countdown," "Behind the Scenes" and "Country Request Live." In addition, GAC also has a companion web site, COUNTRYSTARS.COM. We believe that the programming quality of GAC has significantly benefited from our experience in the country music radio programming business. GAC derives its revenues from license fees and national advertising. The typical length of GAC's affiliate agreements is ten years. The monthly license fee rate card for GAC during 2000 was $.06 per subscriber. GAC's affiliate agreements typically provide for annual escalators of $.005 per month per subscriber. As an incentive to attract new affiliates, such license fees are waived for a period of time after initial launch and are also subject to volume discounts. Both the waiver periods and volume discounts for 7 license fees are based on the number of subscribers receiving GAC, the subscriber commitment made by the multiple system operator ("MSO"), or the total potential subscriber base of the MSO. As an additional incentive for MSOs to provide GAC with subscriber distribution, GAC also offers MSOs an attractive, one-time cable programming distribution payment, which is typically based on the number of subscribers receiving the GAC service. This license fee and cable programming distribution payment strategy has allowed us to supplant our competitors' programming with GAC in top country markets, including Dallas, Atlanta, Reno, Sacramento, Cincinnati, Detroit, Knoxville, Milwaukee, Salt Lake City, Tallahassee, Corpus Christi and Charleston. GAC currently generates over $600,000 per month in advertising revenue. GAC's advertising sales are impacted by a variety of factors, including the level of distribution, ratings, prevailing advertising market rates, sellout rates and number of advertising minutes available for national advertising. In January 2000, GAC became a Nielsen rated network, enabling the network to attract significantly more national advertisers. Nielsen ratings allow GAC to better identify its viewership at specific time periods of the day, which in turn enhances our ability to sell national spot advertising. We believe that as GAC continues to increase its subscriber level, we will be able to target an even broader group of advertisers and derive higher advertising revenues based on traditional spot advertising, and continue to lessen our reliance on direct response advertising. At December 31, 2000, GAC reached approximately 12.8 million subscribers (based on subscriber counts provided by cable operators). According to the December 2000 Sample Reports issued by Nielsen Media Research, GAC reached approximately 15 million subscriber households. GAC's subscriber distribution is provided under affiliate agreements that allow GAC to seek carriage on the cable systems of the MSOs covered under such agreements. GAC has affiliate agreements with five of the ten largest MSOs, including - Adelphia Communications Corporation, - AT&T Broadband, - Comcast Corporation, - Cox Communications, Inc. and - AOL Time Warner Inc. GAC also has an affiliate agreement with the National Cable Television Cooperative, Inc., a cable programming cooperative. In November 2000, as part of our efforts to increase GAC subscriber distribution, GAC entered into a digital satellite distribution agreement with AT&T's Headend in the Sky, Inc. ("HITS"), which enabled GAC to begin broadcasting its programming on the 8 HITS digital platform to cable television systems who elect to carry GAC on their digital programming tiers. PRODUCT INFORMATION NETWORK. PIN is a satellite-delivered long-form advertising service owned by the PIN Venture, a joint venture with Cox Communications, Inc. PIN was launched in February 1995 and is distributed on its own dedicated channel 24-hours a day, seven days per week. We are the manager of the PIN Venture and are responsible for its day-to-day operations. PIN generates its revenues through the sale of long-form paid advertising known as infomercials. An infomercial is an advertisement paid for by the advertiser based on the time of day when the infomercial is aired. Infomercials are usually one-half hour in length and are often produced in an entertainment format. PIN's programming is produced and provided by its advertisers at no cost to PIN. The majority of current programming consists of traditional infomercials from infomercial producers, such as - Guthy Renker Corporation, - Ronco, Inc., - Time-Life, - Thane International, Inc. and - ATI, Inc. PIN compensates cable system operators for carriage through a rebate program. Such payments, which are generally in the form of annual rebates per subscriber, averaged approximately 76% of PIN's net advertising revenues in 2000. For 2000, we paid full-time affiliates an average of $1.44 per full-time revenue equivalent subscriber ("FTREs"). PIN is distributed to subscribers through 527 cable systems and broadcast affiliates and is carried on a portion of the cable systems of eight of the ten largest MSOs, including - Adelphia Communications Corporation, - AT&T Broadband, - Cablevision Systems Corporation, - Charter Communications Inc., - Comcast Corporation, - Cox Communications Inc., - Cable One, Inc. and - AOL Time Warner Inc. PIN's standard affiliation agreement generally requires a one-year commitment of carriage. However, the agreements with Comcast Corporation, Cox Communications Inc. and Adelphia Communications Corp. are long-term agreements, each with more than five years remaining. As of December 31, 2000, PIN was 9 distributed on a full- or part-time basis to cable television systems and broadcast television stations representing approximately 35 million households. INTERNET ADVERTISING SALES SERVICES In 2000, we began offering Internet advertising sales services, with initial focus on streaming media advertising. Streaming media, commonly called web casting, is programming transmitted over the Internet, instead of traditional radio and television airwaves. Currently we represent approximately 13 streaming media clients, most of which provide streaming audio services on the Internet. SATELLITE SERVICES We support our distribution of programming with satellite services. We transmit our radio and cable television programming directly to radio stations, cable system operators and other video distributors via satellite transponders that we either own or lease. We provide playback services, trafficking and ground-to-satellite transmission of our programming services from our uplink facility in Englewood, Colorado. Through digital compression of one of our transponders, we have created additional channel capacity to use either for our own programming or to lease to other parties. We own two satellite transponders on strategically positioned GE Americom satellites, Satcom C-3 and Satcom C-4. Through these transponders, we deliver a variety of popular cable television programming. We use digital technology in providing uplink, playback and trafficking services. On Satcom C-3, GAC, PIN and one related party currently lease three of seven available channels. The lease term of the related party agreement is for approximately the remaining life of the satellite. We have also historically entered into relatively short-term satellite capacity and earth station services agreements with third parties, with the most recent being with NBC for broadcast of the 2000 Summer Olympic Games. At minimal incremental cost, we could further digitally compress the transponder to add at least three additional channels if demand warranted. In December 2000, we negotiated with an affiliated company a one-time payoff amount for early termination of certain of its earth station services and satellite transponder services commitments. We have leased the C-4 transponder to an unrelated party. This lease terminates on December 31, 2002, with an option, exercisable by the lessee, to extend through October 16, 2004. The lease provides for monthly payments averaging $160,000. We continue to market our additional compressible capacity on our Satcom C-3 transponder and related services. We expect that our satellite transponders will be available to allow distribution of our television programming until early 2005, at which time we will be required to migrate our programming over to new satellite transponder space. 10 EMPLOYEES We refer to our employees as associates. As of December 31, 2000 we had 305 full-time and 66 part-time associates. In addition, we maintain relationships with independent writers, program hosts, technical personnel and producers. None of the associates is covered by a collective bargaining agreement and we believe our employee relations to be good. COMPETITION NETWORK RADIO. Our network radio business competes for national advertising revenues, radio station affiliates, on-air talent and third party producers with major network radio companies, as well as with a number of smaller independent producers and distributors. The dominant competitors in the industry are affiliated with major radio station owners, have recognized brand names and control large networks that include affiliates to which the competitors may be required to pay to broadcast the network's commercials. Over the last three years, several network radio companies have merged and many independent program providers have been acquired by these companies. These companies have large amounts of commercial inventory to sell, possess significant resources and have access to commercial time on their owned and operated stations. Our largest competitors include - ABC Radio Networks, - Clear Channel-owned Premiere Radio Networks and - Westwood One/CBS Radio Networks. We also compete for advertising dollars with other media such as broadcast and cable television, print, outdoor and Internet. The primary factors in competing for network radio advertising dollars are high quality programs with a national audience and experienced advertising sales personnel who have strong relationships with advertising agencies and national advertisers. A recent technological innovation, satellite radio, permits licensees to broadcast digital quality radio programming nationwide via satellite. In February 1997, the FCC auctioned two satellite radio licenses. These licenses were awarded to Sirius Satellite Radio (formerly CD Radio) and XM Satellite Radio. Additionally, recent technological advancements have improved the quality and availability of Internet radio, which includes the technology of wireless Internet radio for automobiles. We cannot predict what effect digital satellite radio or Internet radio will have on the radio industry or on us. CABLE TELEVISION NETWORKS. Our cable television networks compete for distribution, viewers and advertising revenues with hundreds of cable and broadcast 11 television networks supplying a variety of entertainment and infomercial programming. GAC's principal direct competitor is Country Music Television, an advertiser-supported basic cable network owned by Viacom, Inc. that delivers country music videos on a 24-hour basis. GAC also competes against other similar music video networks, including MTV and VH1, which are also owned by Viacom, Inc. PIN competes directly with at least two other infomercial networks, Access Television Network and GRTV, both of which have significant distribution capabilities. PIN also competes with numerous other cable television networks that air infomercial and/or home shopping programming, many of which have a substantial number of subscribers. With advances in technology, we expect to encounter additional competition for viewers as technological advances, such as the deployment of fiber optic cable, digital compression technology and the multiplexing of cable services are examples of new technologies that allow cable systems to expand their channel capacity and enhance their ability to add networks. INTERNET ADVERTISING SALES SERVICES. This is a new business and we believe that only one significant competitor exists, Cybereps, an Interep company. SATELLITE SERVICES. We compete in the delivery of domestic satellite services with satellite owners and resellers, satellite service providers, microwave carriers and full-service teleports. Our principal competitors have substantially greater resources, including Vyvx Teleport, AT&T National Digital Television Center, GE Americom and Panamsat Corp. We believe that transmission quality, reliability, price and the location of uplink facilities are the key competitive factors in this market. OTHER FACTORS. As there are generally few legal barriers or proprietary rights to prevent entry into our markets, we could face future competition from new competitors offering services similar to ours. Many of our competitors have greater resources and there can be no assurance that we will be able to compete successfully in the future. Also, technology changes, such as Internet and satellite delivered radio and television, could cause the entry of new competitors. With the advent of new technologies, local radio stations can pre-record their local announcers and automate their operations. This allows for cost reductions and greater operating efficiency, and provides radio stations with an alternative to network radio programming. GOVERNMENT REGULATION Although our radio and television networks are not generally directly regulated by the FCC, the radio stations and cable television systems to which we sell our programming are regulated. As a result, the federal laws and FCC regulations that affect these entities indirectly affect us. Among other things, the FCC adopts and implements regulations and policies that directly or indirectly affect the ownership, operation and sale of radio and television 12 stations. The FCC also has the power to impose penalties for violations of its rules or federal statutes. Such regulation may adversely affect us. The cable television industry is subject to extensive federal, state and local regulation. Regulation can take the form of price controls, programming carriage requirements and programming content restrictions. Such regulation could affect the availability of time on local cable television systems for sale by us, as well as the price at which such time is available. Both GAC and PIN are subject to the FCC's rules requiring closed captioning for the hearing impaired on all programming, which began in the first quarter of 2000. We expect that compliance with these rules will not have an adverse effect on our financial condition. We cannot assure you that material, adverse changes in regulations affecting us, or the cable television industry in general, will not occur in the future. Our satellite delivery and production support services are directly regulated by the FCC. We hold FCC microwave and earth station uplink licenses that we utilize to provide delivery and support services. Because these licenses relate primarily to the technical operation of our microwave and uplink facilities, which are used for internal purposes and program delivery, there are only limited regulatory burdens associated with keeping these licenses in good standing. RISK FACTORS Our business involves certain risks, related to, among other factors: (i) our history of net losses, (ii) our limited cash position, (iii) our outstanding debt and the restrictions imposed by the Indenture pursuant to which the debt was issued, (iv) our dependence upon earnings and cash flow of our subsidiaries, (v) distribution of our radio and television programming, (vi) dependence on advertising relationships and revenues, (vii) overall market conditions in all of our businesses, (viii) business expansion issues, (ix) our stock ownership structure, (x) the fact that we engage in and expect to continue to engage in certain transactions with our affiliates, (xi) intense competition from various sources which affect all aspects of our business and (xii) other information about us set forth in this Form 10-K Report and our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. 13 ITEM 2. PROPERTIES Our principal executive offices are located in Englewood, Colorado. We sublease office space from affiliates of Jones International, as well as office space and studio space from third parties. See "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions." We lease office space in the following cities: Englewood, CO, New York, NY, Seattle, WA, Milford, CT, Nashville, TN, Chicago, IL, Dallas, TX, Detroit, MI, Washington, D.C., Los Angeles, CA and San Francisco, CA. In addition, we own 8.4 acres of land in Englewood, Colorado. We believe our office space, studio space and Earth Segment's satellite uplink facility are adequate to meet our current needs. ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS From time to time, we are involved in routine legal proceedings incident to the ordinary course of our business. We believe that the outcome of all such routine legal proceedings in the aggregate will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS On December 21, 2000, we held a Special Meeting of Shareholders. The shareholders approved a proposal that our Articles of Incorporation be amended to change our name to "Jones Media Networks, Ltd." The vote on this amendment to our Articles of Incorporation was as follows, with each share of Class A Common Stock and Series A Convertible Preferred Stock being entitled to one vote, and each share of Class B Common Stock being entitled to ten votes: CLASS OF SHARES VOTING APPROVING DISAPPROVING ABSTAINING - --------------------- --------- ------------ ---------- Class A Common Stock 4,894,210 0 0 Series A Convertible Preferred 1,918,000 0 0 Class B Common Stock 21,314,000 0 0 14 PART II ITEM 5.

Management acknowledges that EBITDA is not a measure of performance or liquidity calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. However, EBITDA is a measure widely used by analysts and investors in the media industry to determine a company's operating performance and ability to service and incur debt. EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income (loss), cash flows from operating activities or other consolidated income or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles or as a measure of profitability or liquidity. (b) Cable programming distribution payments made by GAC to multiple system cable television operators for carrying GAC programming. These payments are capitalized as intangible assets on the statements of financial position and are amortized over the period during which a portion of such payments is refundable (usually 5 to 10 years). (c) Weekly radio listener gross impressions represents the total number of times consumers are exposed to our radio commercials on average during a week. This measurement is calculated by multiplying the average quarter hour audience (AQH) for each of our network radio programs or services times the number of 30-second equivalent commercial units we have available to sell each week in each respective product, and summing such results to arrive at a total weekly listener impression number. Because the weekly listener gross impression calculation does not differentiate between a one-time listener or a repeat listener who hears our broadcasted commercials, the measurement includes multiple commercial impressions recorded for the same listener. AQH represents the average number of people aged 12 + estimated to have listened, for a minimum of five minutes during any quarter hour, to a radio station broadcasting our advertising during the time which we estimate our commercials are broadcast. These AQH estimates are derived from data provided by Act I Systems (a third party processor) that is based on Arbitron copyrighted and proprietary audience estimates, and are not estimates produced by Arbitron. Weekly radio listener gross impressions reflect the effect of the asset acquisitions of the assets of MediaAmerica in July 1998 and Broadcast Programming in August 1999 for these respective years. (d) Represents the number of non-duplicated radio station affiliates broadcasting our commercial inventory in exchange for our network radio products or services at the end of the periods indicated. Unique radio station affiliates reflect the effect of the asset acquisitions of MediaAmerica in July 1998 and Broadcast Programming in August 1999. (e) Represents the total number of subscribers at the end of the periods indicated based on subscriber counts provided by distributors of the networks, including cable, other broadcast and multi-channel programming providers. (f) Represents the total number of Great American Country households at the end of the periods indicated according to sample reports issued by Nielsen Media Research. As Great American Country did not become a Nielsen-rated network until January 2000, Nielsen household measurement data is not available for prior periods. (g) FTREs represent the number of full-time revenue equivalent subscribers receiving PIN at the end of the periods indicated. FTRE weights part-time subscribers based on the number of hours carried, the daypart carried based on standard eastern time and the revenue associated therewith. Beginning in 1998, we have restated FTREs to reflect daypart carried based on Eastern Standard Time instead of local time. 16 FTREs based on Eastern Standard Time more accurately reflect subscriber information to our advertisers. FTREs information based on Eastern Standard Time is not available for 1996 and 1997. Accordingly, FTREs reported for 1996 and 1997 are based on local time. We do not believe the difference in FTREs reported based on Eastern Standard time and FTREs based on local time is significant. (h) Excludes restricted cash of $10 million at December 31, 1998. (i) Includes current and non-current maturities of long-term debt and capital lease obligations. 17 ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH OUR HISTORICAL CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND NOTES THERETO APPEARING ELSEWHERE IN THIS DOCUMENT. THIS DOCUMENT CONTAINS FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS THAT INVOLVE RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES. OUR ACTUAL RESULTS MAY DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THE RESULTS DISCUSSED IN ANY FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENT. OVERVIEW We own and operate a network radio business and two cable television networks. We create, develop, acquire, produce and license programming that we distribute to radio stations, cable television system operators and other video distributors. Through our radio and cable television networks, we aggregate and target a nationwide audience, thereby providing national advertisers with an efficient and effective means to reach their desired demographic groups. We also provide satellite services to facilitate the distribution of our programming and that of other companies. In 2000, we began to offer Internet advertising sales services. The presentation of reportable segments has been changed from that presented in the prior periods to combine the results of operations from Internet websites related to our radio programming with the network radio segment and the results of operations from Internet websites related to one of our cable television networks with the cable television programming segment. Because of the complementary nature of the Company's Internet websites to their respective radio program and cable television network counterparts, we have decided to include the results of operations of these companion websites in our respective network radio and cable television programming operations. In addition, we have combined the presentation of our radio programming content and radio advertising sales services segments into the network radio segment. Management believes that this presentation provides a more meaningful analysis of our business segments. The comparison of our results of operations from period to period is affected by the purchase of the assets of MediaAmerica on July 10, 1998 and the purchase of the assets of Broadcast Programming on August 2, 1999. NETWORK RADIO Our network radio revenues consist primarily of advertising revenues, fees for programming and services we provide to radio stations and to third party producers, e-commerce and other revenues generated by companion websites of certain radio programs. We provide radio programming and services to radio stations in exchange for commercial inventory that we resell to national advertisers who advertise their products or services on our radio networks. We recognize revenues upon airing of the advertisements. In addition, we generate revenues by charging fees to third parties for certain advertising sales and affiliates sales services, which are based on a percentage of related advertising revenue. By combining our commercial inventory with that of our third party producers, we can create customized advertising networks that allow advertisers to reach their target markets. Network radio expenses consist of program licensing, program development and production costs, costs associated with selling of advertising time, distribution and delivery costs and other costs, including the costs of researching, designing, producing and licensing programs and maintaining related websites for our radio 18 network. Radio distribution and delivery costs include satellite transponder expenses, uplinking charges and associated costs. CABLE TELEVISION PROGRAMMING We provide cable television programming to cable television system operators and other video distributors, sell advertising time on our two cable networks and receive license fees for our country music television network. We recognize advertising revenues upon airing of the advertisements. Any amounts received from customers for advertisements that have not been aired during the period are recorded as unearned revenues until such time as the advertisements are aired. GREAT AMERICAN COUNTY. GAC's revenues consist of advertising revenues, subscriber license fees paid by cable operators who receive the network, and to a much lesser extent, e-commerce revenues, advertising and other revenues generated by its companion website. GAC generates advertising revenues by selling airtime to advertisers. GAC's advertising revenues consist of both direct response and national spot advertising. Direct response advertising is airtime sold to agencies or national advertisers who have developed commercials designed to motivate viewers to call an 800 phone number to purchase their product or service. Payment for such advertising is typically guaranteed, regardless of viewer response. Direct response advertising usually earns lower rates than traditional national spot advertising. Traditional national spot advertising is typically sold by cable television networks that can demonstrate through ratings an ability to deliver the type and quantity of viewers that national advertisers seek to target with their advertising. Beginning in January 2000, GAC became a Nielsen-rated network, enabling the network to attract significantly more national advertisers. Advertising revenues are impacted by a variety of factors, including the level of distribution (number of subscribers), ratings, audience composition (demographics), advertising market and general economic conditions, and the amount of advertising inventory allocated for national advertising. License fee revenues are earned monthly based on a per subscriber rate set pursuant to the cable operator's agreement with GAC and the number of subscribers that are receiving GAC during the month. Depending on the level of distribution provided by the cable operator, license fee discounts and abatement periods may apply. Historically, we have typically entered into 5 to 10 year contracts with affiliates providing for carriage of GAC. In order to increase the distribution of GAC, we offer affiliates a launch incentive payment, which is generally based on the number of subscribers receiving the GAC service. These payments are capitalized and amortized over the period during which a portion of such payments is refundable. Because most of the programming on GAC is provided to us without cost, cable television programming expenses for GAC consist primarily of program distribution and delivery costs, such as satellite transponder expenses, uplinking charges and associated costs, original programming costs, advertising sales services and administrative costs, as well as website enhancement and maintenance costs. PRODUCT INFORMATION NETWORK. We launched PIN in February 1995 as a joint venture with Cox Communications, Inc. and, later, with Adelphia Communications Corp. We now own approximately 55.3% of PIN. Effective April 1, 1997, we consolidated the results of operations of PIN for financial reporting purposes. Cox and Adelphia have agreed to carry PIN for 10 years. 19 PIN generates revenues through the sale of long-form paid advertising known as infomercials. An infomercial is an advertisement that is paid for by the advertiser on the basis of the time of day it is aired and the number of homes reached at that time of day. Infomercials are approximately one half-hour in length and are often produced in an entertainment format with high production quality. Long-form advertising rates are affected by numerous factors, including the level of subscriber distribution, audience composition, the life cycle of existing infomercials, the availability of new and successful infomercials, the number of infomercial suppliers, and infomercial advertising market and general economic conditions. PIN compensates cable system operators for carriage of PIN through a rebate program. Such payments, which are generally in the form of annual rebates per subscriber at a fixed rate per subscriber, averaged approximately 76% of PIN's net advertising revenues in 2000. INTERNET ADVERTISING SALES SERVICES In 2000, we began offering Internet advertising sales services with initial focus on streaming media advertising. Streaming media, commonly called web casting, is programming transmitted over the Internet, instead of traditional radio and television airwaves. Starting in the first quarter of 2000, we incurred significant operating expenses to build a sales and technology infrastructure in order to develop our Internet advertising sales business. We hired associates to sell and market Internet advertising and to develop a network of third party web site publishers and other clients. The success of our Internet advertising sales services efforts is highly dependent upon our ability to reach a sufficient audience and to aggregate, target and accurately measure such audience in a way that is attractive to national advertisers. The technology necessary to aggregate, target and measure such audiences is still emerging and subject to rapid change. In addition, there is significant uncertainty whether this new advertising medium will become widely-accepted by advertisers. In the event we are unable to access the technology needed to aggregate, target and measure these audiences and attract sufficient advertisers to this new medium, our Internet advertising sales services business would be materially and adversely affected. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in our Internet advertising sales services efforts. SATELLITE SERVICES We generate revenues by providing satellite delivery and production support services, including uplinking, trafficking and playback to related parties, third parties and for our own programming operations. We recognize satellite delivery and production support revenues upon the completion of the services or as provided by contract. Satellite delivery and production support expenses include uplinking charges and other associated operating costs. These costs are relatively fixed in nature, which gives us a high degree of operating leverage. SELLING AND MARKETING EXPENSES Selling and marketing expenses are incurred to retain and increase the number of radio station and cable system affiliates and advertising sales clients. These expenses include salaries and commissions, travel and associated expenses related to our sales and marketing activities, in addition to costs of the design, production and distribution of marketing, advertising and promotional materials for all segments. We anticipate increases in selling and marketing expenses and associated costs as we continue to expand the distribution of our network radio programs and services, cable television programming, and increase the number of advertising sales clients. We intend to use our radio and cable television content, commercial inventory and on-air promotions to 20 drive targeted audiences to our companion websites. We also anticipate purchases of third party advertising to promote our network radio and cable television programming. GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES General and administrative expenses include personnel and associated costs for corporate management staff and support personnel including the accounting, financial reporting and corporate Internet administration and technology functions. As we continue to grow, we anticipate that our general and administrative expenses will rise gradually. DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION As the result of the acquisitions of the assets of Broadcast Programming and MediaAmerica, our amortization expenses related to intangible assets and goodwill have increased dramatically. In addition, we amortize our cable programming distribution agreement payments using the straight-line method over the term of our affiliate agreement. OTHER EXPENSE Total other expenses consist primarily of interest expense, interest income, write off of deferred offering costs, equity share of loss (income) of subsidiaries and other miscellaneous items. 21 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following table sets forth the amount of, and percentage relationship to total net revenues of, certain items included in our historical consolidated statements of operations for the periods indicated and certain items included in our unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations for the periods indicated. This pro forma data gives effect to: (i) the Broadcast Programming acquisition and (ii) our acquisition of the assets of MediaAmerica (together the "Pro Forma Transactions"). Pro forma data also assumes that the transactions above were completed on January 1, of each respective year. We have not historically disclosed non-significant acquisitions, such as Broadcast Programming, and are not required to do so in the future. We have provided pro forma information related to the Pro Forma Transactions in order to provide the reader with more meaningful comparable results. The presentation of reportable segments has been changed from that presented in the prior periods to combine the results of operations from Internet websites related to our radio programming with the network radio segment and the results of operations from Internet websites related to one of our cable television networks with the cable television programming segment. Because of the complementary nature of the Company's Internet websites to their respective radio program and cable television network counterparts, we have decided to include the results of operations of these companion websites in our respective network radio and cable television programming operations. In addition, we have combined the presentation of our radio programming content and radio advertising sales services segments into the network radio segment. Management believes that this presentation provides a more meaningful analysis of our business segments.

Management acknowledges that EBITDA is not a measure of performance or liquidity calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. However, EBITDA is a measure widely used by analysts and investors in the media industry to determine a company's operating performance and ability to service and incur debt. EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income (loss), cash flows from operating activities or other consolidated income or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles or as a measure of profitability or liquidity. (b) Cable programming distribution payments made by GAC to multiple system cable television operators for carrying GAC programming. These payments are capitalized as intangible assets on the statements of financial position and are amortized over the period during which a portion of such payments is refundable (usually 5 to 10 years). In the fourth quarter of 2000, cable programming distribution payments made were offset by a refund received from one of GAC's MSO affiliate which discontinued the service in certain of its cable television systems. (c) Weekly listener gross impressions represents the total number of times consumers are exposed to our radio commercials on average during a week. This measurement is calculated by multiplying the average quarter hour audience (AQH) for each of our network radio programs or services times the number of 30-second equivalent commercial units we have available to sell each week in each respective product, and summing such results to arrive at a total weekly listener impression number. Because the weekly listener gross impression calculation does not differentiate between a one-time listener or a repeat listener who hears our broadcasted commercials, the measurement includes multiple commercial impressions recorded for the same listener. AQH represents the average number of people aged 12 + estimated to have listened, for a minimum of five minutes during any quarter hour, to a radio station broadcasting our advertising during the time which we estimate our commercials are broadcast. These AQH estimates are derived from data provided by Act I Systems (a third party processor) that is based on Arbitron copyrighted and proprietary audience estimates, and are not estimates produced by Arbitron. Weekly radio listener gross impressions reflect the effect of the asset acquisitions of the assets of MediaAmerica in July 1998 and Broadcast Programming in August 1999 for these respective years. (d) Represents the number of non-duplicated radio station affiliates broadcasting our commercial inventory in exchange for our network radio products or services the end of the periods indicated. Unique radio station affiliates reflect the effect of the asset acquisitions of MediaAmerica in July 1998 and Broadcast Programming in August 1999. (e) Represents the total number of subscribers at the end of the periods indicated based on subscriber counts provided by distributors of the networks, including cable, other broadcast and multi-channel programming providers. (f) Represents the total number of Great American Country households at the end of the periods indicated according to sample reports issued by Nielsen Media Research. As Great American Country did not become a Nielsen-rated network until January 2000, Nielsen household measurement data is not available for prior periods. 25 (g) FTREs represent the number of full-time revenue equivalent subscribers receiving PIN at the end of the periods indicated. FTRE weights part-time subscribers based on the number of hours carried, the daypart carried based on Eastern Standard Time and the revenue associated therewith. Beginning in 1998, we have restated FTREs to reflect daypart carried based on Eastern Standard Time instead of local time. FTREs based on Eastern Standard Time more accurately reflect our subscriber information to our advertisers. 26 YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000 TOTAL REVENUES. Total revenues increased $21.4 million, or 33%, from $64.4 million for the year ended December 31, 1999 to $85.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2000. This increase was due primarily to strong growth in our network radio and cable television programming operations, including an increase in network radio revenues resulting from the Broadcast Programming acquisition. The increase in revenues was also due to a one-time $1.9 million payment we received in connection with the termination of the remaining satellite service commitments of an affiliate in the fourth quarter of 2000 and a one-time Internet advertising sales services termination payment of $1.5 million received in the third quarter of 2000. On a pro forma basis, total pro forma revenues increased $16.7 million, or 24%, from pro forma $69.1 million for the year ended December 31, 1999 to actual $85.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2000. TOTAL OPERATING EXPENSES. Total operating expenses increased $11.2 million, or 26%, from $43.2 million for the year ended December 31, 1999 to $54.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2000. The increase is due primarily to an increase in operating expenses resulting from the Broadcast Programming acquisition, increased expenditures related to network radio and cable television programming, as well as increased operating expenses to develop our Internet advertising sales business. As a percentage of total revenues, total operating expenses decreased from 67% for the year ended December 31, 1999 to 63% for the year ended December 31, 2000. On a pro forma basis, total operating expenses increased $8.5 million, or 18%, from pro forma $45.9 million for the year ended December 31, 1999 to actual $54.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2000. As a percentage of pro forma total revenues, total pro forma operating expenses decreased from pro forma 66% for the year ended December 31, 1999 to actual 63% for the year ended December 31, 2000. SELLING AND MARKETING. Selling and marketing expenses increased $3.8 million, or 59%, from $6.4 million for the year ended December 31, 1999 to $10.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2000. This increase is due primarily to increased expenditures to attract additional radio and cable television affiliates, increased selling and marketing expenses incurred to launch new radio programs and an increase in selling and marketing expenditures resulting from the Broadcast Programming acquisition. On a pro forma basis, selling and marketing expenses increased $3.3 million, or 47%, from pro forma $6.9 million for the year ended December 31, 1999 to actual $10.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2000. GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. General and administrative expenses increased $0.6 million, or 29%, from $1.9 million for the year ended December 31, 1999 to $2.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2000. This change was due to increases in Internet-related support expenses, management personnel, operational and other expenses. DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION. Depreciation and amortization expenses increased $3.6 million, or 33%, from $10.8 million for the year ended December 31, 1999 to $14.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2000. This increase is due primarily to an increase in amortization expenses related to the Broadcast Programming acquisition and the amortization of payments made under certain cable programming distribution agreements. On a pro forma basis, depreciation and amortization expenses increased $1.0 million, or 7%, from pro forma $13.4 million for the year ended December 31, 1999 to actual $14.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2000. TOTAL OPERATING INCOME. Operating income increased $2.3 million, from $2.1 million for the year ended December 31, 1999 to $4.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2000, as a result of the factors stated above. Pro forma operating income increased $3.5 million, from pro forma $0.9 million for the year ended December 31, 1999 to actual $4.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2000. 27 TOTAL EBITDA. EBITDA increased $5.7 million, or 48%, from $11.9 million for the year ended December 31, 1999, to $17.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2000. Pro forma EBITDA increased $4.2 million, or 31%, from pro forma $13.4 million for the year ended December 31, 1999, to actual $17.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2000, as a result of the factors stated above. TOTAL OTHER EXPENSE. Total other expense increased $0.4 million, or 3%, from $11.7 million for the year ended December 31, 1999 to $12.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2000. The increase is due primarily to: - a $0.7 million in expenses related to the write off of deferred equity offering costs. As a result of the withdrawal of our proposed equity offering in October 2000, we have expensed all deferred equity offering costs in 2000; - a $0.2 million increase in other income; - a $0.1 million decrease in equity income of subsidiaries; and - a $0.2 million decrease in interest expense. TOTAL NET LOSS. Net loss decreased $1.2 million, or 11%, from $(10.1) million for the year ended December 31, 1999 to $(8.9) million for the year ended December 31, 2000. Pro forma net loss decreased $(2.6) million, or 22%, from a net loss of $(11.5) million for the year ended December 31, 1999 to a net loss of $(8.9) million for the year ended December 31, 2000. NETWORK RADIO REVENUES. Network radio revenues increased $13.5 million, or 47%, from $28.5 million for the year ended December 31, 1999 to $42.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2000, due primarily to an increase in radio advertising revenue. In addition, the acquisition of the assets of Broadcast Programming on August 2, 1999 significantly contributed to the increase in revenues. Separate from Broadcast Programming, advertising revenues increased $6.2 million due to significant increases in rates charged for our advertising spots and in the number of spots sold. There was a decrease of $0.4 million in radio license fees, reflecting our decision to focus our programming targeted at larger radio stations that generally are not charged license fees. On a pro forma basis, network radio revenues increased $8.7 million, or 26%, from pro forma $33.3 million for the year ended December 31, 1999 to actual $42.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2000. During 2000, we benefited from strong network radio advertising demand, driven primarily by strong economic conditions which demand was further enhanced by a significant increase in the use of network radio advertising by Internet companies. Due to this increased demand for network radio advertising in 2000, our network radio business experienced significantly higher advertising rates and inventory sell-out percentages. EXPENSES. Network radio expenses increased $10.5 million, or 37%, from $27.9 million for the year ended December 31, 1999 to $38.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2000. This increase was primarily due to: 28 - $6.5 million increase in operating expenses as a result of the Broadcast Programming acquisition, including depreciation and amortization expenses of $2.3 million; - $1.9 million increase in operating expenses due to the increase in the number of syndicated radio programs we offered including increased license fees for certain programming, as well as an increase in the number of radio station affiliates; - $1.5 million increase in selling and marketing expenses to increase the number of radio stations receiving our existing programming and to launch new programs; and - $0.6 million increase in depreciation and amortization expenses related to new equipment purchased for the upgrades of certain radio programming studios, purchase of new satellite receivers and purchase of new computer hardware and software; - $0.5 million increase in management and support costs; - $0.3 million increase in Internet programming content expenses related to the development of companion websites for our radio programming; and - $0.8 million decrease related to the write off of capitalized costs for programs in 1999 with no similar expense incurred in 2000. This write off was recorded in depreciation and amortization expense. As a percentage of network radio revenues, network radio expenses decreased from 98% for the year ended December 31, 1999 to 91% for the year ended December 31, 2000. The decrease in network radio expenses as a percentage of network radio revenues is due primarily to the increase in network radio revenues resulting from improved advertising rates and sellout conditions in 2000. In addition, a significant portion of our network radio expenses is fixed in nature. On a pro forma basis, network radio expenses increased $4.5 million, or 13%, from pro forma $33.9 million for the year ended December 31, 1999 to actual $38.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2000. As a percentage of pro forma network radio revenues, pro forma radio programming expenses decreased from pro forma 102% for the year ended December 31, 1999 to actual 91% for the year ended December 31, 2000. OPERATING INCOME. Operating income increased $3.0 million from operating income of $0.6 million for the year ended December 31, 1999 to operating income of $3.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2000 as a result of the factors stated above. Pro forma operating income (loss) increased $4.2 million from operating loss of pro forma $(0.6) million for the year ended December 31, 1999 to operating income of actual $3.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2000. SEGMENT EBITDA. Segment EBITDA increased $5.0 million, or 96%, from $5.3 million for the year ended December 31, 1999, to $10.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2000 as a result of the factors stated above. Pro forma EBITDA increased $3.5 million, or 53%, from pro forma $6.8 million for the year ended December 31, 1999, to actual $10.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2000. 29 CABLE TELEVISION PROGRAMMING REVENUES. Cable television programming revenues increased $7.0 million, or 25%, from $27.3 million for the year ended December 31, 1999 to $34.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2000. This increase was due to the following: - GAC's revenues increased $3.4 million, or 67%, as a result of a $2.8 million, or 79%, increase in advertising revenues and a $0.6 million, or 38%, increase in license fees. Advertising revenues increased due to higher advertising rates charged for airtime based on a 7% increase in the number of subscribers receiving GAC (as reported by cable operators), with launches in markets such as Milwaukee, Corpus Christi, Beaumont, Southwest Texas and Salt Lake City. However, these new subscribers were offset by a loss of approximately 1.5 million subscribers from one of its MSO affiliates. In early 2000, GAC became a Nielsen-rated network, enabling it to attract significantly more national advertisers and, as a result, increase revenues derived from traditional national spot advertising. - PIN's revenues increased $3.6 million, or 16%, primarily as a result of an 12% increase in FTREs receiving PIN. EXPENSES. Cable television programming expenses rose $7.5 million, or 28%, from $27.1 million for the year ended December 31, 1999 to $34.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2000. This was primarily due to: - an increase of $2.9 million in rebates to cable systems receiving PIN, which was driven by an 12% increase in FTREs receiving PIN from December 31, 1999 to December 31, 2000; - an increase of $1.6 million in depreciation and amortization expenses primarily related to the amortization of additional GAC cable programming distribution agreement payments; - an increase of $1.6 million as a result of new associates hired to sell GAC traditional spot advertising and a national audience ratings services subscribed to by GAC beginning in January 2000; - an increase of $1.4 million as a result of the development and enhancement of GAC's companion websites; - an increase of $0.6 million in cable television programming expenses to expand the number of hours of original programming and other promotional expenses; and - a decrease of $0.6 million in GAC's management and other expenses. For each of the years ended December 31, 1999 and 2000, PIN made rebates of approximately 75% and 76%, respectively, of its advertising revenues to systems receiving its programming. Rebates paid to cable systems receiving its programming have remained relatively constant over the comparable periods on a per FTRE's basis. However, as FTRE's continue to grow, total cable television programming expenses will increase because PIN will pay out additional rebates to cable systems. As a percentage of cable television programming revenues, cable television programming expenses increased from 99% for the year ended December 31, 1999 to 101% for the year ended December 31, 2000. As part of our efforts to increase GAC subscriber distribution, GAC entered into a digital satellite 30 distribution agreement with AT&T's Headend in the Sky, Inc. ("HITS") which will enable GAC to broadcast its programming on the HITS digital platform to cable systems who elect to carry GAC on their digital programming tiers. Digital satellite distribution expenses increased approximately $40,000 per month beginning in November 2000 and we estimate that expenses will increase to approximately $70,000 per month in the fourth quarter of 2001. Starting in the fourth quarter of 1999, we developed and enhanced a companion website to the GAC network. Internet programming and content expenses for this companion website commenced in the fourth quarter of 1999 and increased throughout 2000. This website generates e-commerce revenues by selling products to web site visitors; however, we did not generate significant e-commerce revenues from this website in 2000. Given the lack of meaningful revenues generated thus far, we are currently evaluating the future business strategy and prospects of this companion website. Organizational changes and other measures have been undertaken in order to reduce costs and re-direct resources to better promote the GAC network via the Internet. OPERATING INCOME (LOSS). Operating income (loss) decreased $0.5 million from an operating income of $0.2 million for the year ended December 31, 1999 to an operating loss of $(0.3) million for the year ended December 31, 2000 as a result of the factors stated above. SEGMENT EBITDA. Segment EBITDA before the deduction of EBITDA attributable to the PIN Venture's minority interest, increased $1.1 million from $2.3 million for the year ended December 31, 1999, to $3.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2000 as a result of the factors stated above. INTERNET ADVERTISING SALES In 2000, we began offering Internet advertising sales services with a focus on streaming media advertising. Operating expenses for Internet advertising services increased beginning in January 2000 and continued to increase throughout 2000, as we built a sales and technology infrastructure. REVENUES. We generated Internet advertising sales services revenues of $1.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2000. Substantially all of these revenues are related to an early termination to an agreement we negotiated with a third party to sell Internet advertising time and provide other services. The termination of this agreement resulted in a one-time cash payment of $1.5 million, which was recorded as Internet advertising sales services revenue during the third quarter of 2000. EXPENSES. We incurred Internet advertising sales services expenses of $1.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2000. OPERATING INCOME (LOSS). We generated operating income from our Internet advertising sales services of $0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2000. SEGMENT EBITDA. We generated a segment EBITDA from Internet advertising sales services of $0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2000. SATELLITE SERVICES REVENUES. Satellite services revenues decreased $0.5 million, or 6%, from $8.5 million for the year ended 31 December 31, 1999 to $8.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2000. This decrease was primarily due to: - the expiration in August 1999 of a third party satellite services agreement and the termination in January 2000 of another third party satellite services agreement, which combined generated $1.0 million in satellite services revenues in the year ended December 31, 1999; and - $1.9 million decrease in satellite services fees charged to an affiliated party because of reduced service levels required by the affiliate when it ceased network operations at the end of the first quarter of 2000. These decreases in revenues were partially offset by: - $1.9 million increase in satellite services revenues due to a one-time payment we received in connection with the termination of the remaining satellite service commitments of an affiliate; and - $0.5 million increase in satellite services revenues due to a three-month agreement to lease two satellite transponder channels as well as other uplinking and earth station services to a third party. This agreement commenced on July 15, 2000 and terminated on October 15, 2000. EXPENSES. Satellite services expenses decreased $0.8 million, or 16%, from $5.3 million for the year ended December 31, 1999 to $4.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2000. This decrease is primarily due to cost savings realized as a result of the related party ceasing all programming operations as of March 31, 2000 as discussed herein. As a percentage of satellite services revenues, satellite services expenses decreased from 63% for the year ended December 31, 1999 to 56% for the year ended December 31, 2000. Because a significant portion of the costs of our satellite services is fixed, when we increase our utilization of the excess capacity on our Satcom C-3 transponder, the percentage of satellite services expenses in relation to the satellite services revenues decreases. Due to the unpredictability of demand for transponder capacity from cable television networks, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in leasing our excess satellite transponder capacity. OPERATING INCOME. Operating income increased $0.3 million from $3.2 million for the year ended December 31, 1999 to $3.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2000 as a result of the factors stated above. SEGMENT EBITDA. Segment EBITDA increased $0.2 million, or 2%, from $7.2 million for the year ended December 31, 1999, to $7.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2000 as a result of the factors stated above. YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999 TOTAL REVENUES. Total revenues increased $26.2 million, or 68%, from $38.2 million for the year ended December 31, 1998 to $64.4 million for the year ended December 31, 1999. This increase was due to strong growth in our operations, as well as the Broadcast Programming and MediaAmerica acquisitions. On a pro forma basis, total pro forma revenues increased $18.3 million, or 36%, from $50.8 million for the year ended December 31, 1998 to $69.1 million for the year ended December 31, 1999. 32 TOTAL OPERATING EXPENSES. Total operating expenses increased $16.0 million, or 59%, from $27.2 million for the year ended December 31, 1998 to $43.2 million for the year ended December 31, 1999. As a percentage of total revenues, total operating expenses decreased from 71% for the year ended December 31, 1998 to 67% for the year ended December 31, 1999. On a pro forma basis, total operating expenses increased $9.3 million, or 25%, from $36.6 million for the year ended December 31, 1998 to $45.9 million for the year ended December 31, 1999. As a percentage of pro forma total revenues, total pro forma operating expenses decreased from 72% for the year ended December 31, 1998 to 66% for the year ended December 31, 1999. SELLING AND MARKETING. Selling and marketing expenses increased $1.0 million, or 19%, from $5.4 million for the year ended December 31, 1998 to $6.4 million for the year ended December 31, 1999. On a pro forma basis, selling and marketing expenses increased $0.5 million, or 8%, from $6.4 million for the year ended December 31, 1998 to $6.9 million for the year ended December 31, 1999. GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. General and administrative expenses increased $0.8 million, or 74%, from $1.1 million for the year ended December 31, 1998 to $1.9 million for the year ended December 31, 1999. This change was due to increases in additional management, operational and Internet-related support and other expenses. DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION. Depreciation and amortization expenses increased $4.5 million, or 72%, from $6.3 million for the year ended December 31, 1998 to $10.8 million for the year ended December 31, 1999. On a pro forma basis, depreciation and amortization expenses increased $1.8 million, or 16%, from $11.6 million for the year ended December 31, 1998 to $13.4 million for the year ended December 31, 1999. TOTAL OPERATING INCOME (LOSS). Operating income (loss) increased $3.8 million from operating loss of $(1.7) million for the year ended December 31, 1998 to operating income of $2.1 million for the year ended December 31, 1999 as a result of the factors stated above. Pro forma income (loss) increased $5.9 million from operating loss of $(5.0) million for the year ended December 31, 1998 to operating income of $0.9 million for the year ended December 31, 1999. TOTAL EBITDA. EBITDA increased $7.7 million, or 179%, from $4.3 million for the year ended December 31, 1998, to $11.9 million for the year ended December 31, 1999. Pro forma EBITDA increased $7.1 million, or 112%, from $6.3 million for the year ended December 31, 1998, to $13.4 million for the year ended December 31, 1999. TOTAL OTHER EXPENSE. Total other expense increased $2.3 million, or 24%, from $9.4 million for the year ended December 31, 1998 to $11.7 million for the year ended December 31, 1999. This change is due primarily to an increase of $6.1 million in interest expense related to our Senior Notes and an increase of $0.5 million in interest expense related to the amortization of offering costs related to our Senior Notes. The increase was partially offset by: - a $3.0 million decrease in interest expense related to the repayment of debts from the proceeds from our Senior Notes; - a $1.2 million decrease in other expenses; and 33 - a $0.3 million increase in interest income earned on cash, cash equivalents and available for sale securities. In 1998, we incurred debt offering related expenses of $0.9 million. No similar expenses were incurred in 1999. TOTAL NET LOSS. Net loss decreased $1.4 million, or 12%, from $(11.5) million for the year ended December 31, 1998 to $(10.1) million for the year ended December 31, 1999. Pro forma net loss decreased $6.8 million, or 37%, from a net loss of $(18.3) million for the year ended December 31, 1998 to a net loss of $(11.5) million for the year ended December 31, 1999. NETWORK RADIO REVENUES. Network radio revenues increased $13.4 million, or 88%, from $15.1 million for the year ended December 31, 1998 to $28.5 million for the year ended December 31, 1999, due primarily to an increase in radio advertising revenue and the acquisitions of MediaAmerica and the assets of Broadcast Programming. On a pro forma basis, network radio revenues increased $5.6 million, or 20%, from $27.7 million for the year ended December 31, 1998 to $33.3 million for the year ended December 31, 1999. During the latter half of 1999, we benefited from strong network radio advertising demand, driven primarily by strong economic conditions and a significant increase in the use of network radio advertising by Internet companies. Due to increased demand for radio advertising, our network radio business experienced an increase in advertising rates and inventory sellout percentages. In addition, sales of radio advertising for 1998 were adversely affected by the January 1998 entry of a significant competitor into the market, which added approximately 20% more network radio advertising inventory. EXPENSES. Network radio expenses increased $11.8 million, or 73%, from $16.1 million for the year ended December 31, 1998 to $27.9 million for the year ended December 31, 1999. This increase was primarily due to: - $4.4 million increase in operating expenses as a result of the MediaAmerica acquisition on July 10, 1998; - $3.7 million increase in operating expenses as a result of the Broadcast Programming acquisition; - $2.0 million in amortization expenses related to the Broadcast Programming and MediaAmerica acquisitions; - $0.8 million increase related to the write off of capitalized costs for programs that are no longer distributed; - $0.5 million in selling and marketing expenses to increase the number of radio stations receiving our programming; and - $0.3 million increase in fees paid to license certain radio programming; and 34 - $0.1 million increase in operating expenses reflecting an increase in the number of syndicated radio programs we offered. As a percentage of network radio revenues, network radio expenses decreased from 107% for the year ended December 31, 1998 to 98% for the year ended December 31, 1999. The decrease in network radio expenses as a percentage of network radio revenues is due primarily to the increase in network radio revenues resulting from improved advertising rates and sellout conditions in 1999. In addition, a significant portion of our network radio expenses is fixed in nature. On a pro forma basis, network radio expenses increased $1.9 million, or 6%, from $32.0 million for the year ended December 31, 1998 to $33.9 million for the year ended December 31, 1999. As a percentage of pro forma network radio revenues, pro forma network radio expenses decreased from 115% for the year ended December 31, 1998 to 102% for the year ended December 31, 1999. OPERATING INCOME (LOSS). Operating income (loss) increased $1.6 million from operating loss of $(1.0) million for the year ended December 31, 1998 to operating income of $0.6 million for the year ended December 31, 1999 as a result of the factors stated above. Pro forma operating income (loss) increased $3.7 million from operating loss of $(4.3) million for the year ended December 31, 1998 to operating loss of $(0.6) million for the year ended December 31, 1999 SEGMENT EBITDA. Segment EBITDA increased $4.7 million, or 825%, from $0.6 million for the year ended December 31, 1998, to $5.3 million for the year ended December 31, 1999. Pro forma EBITDA increased $4.1 million, or 156%, from $2.7 million for the year ended December 31, 1998, to $6.8 million for the year ended December 31, 1999. CABLE TELEVISION PROGRAMMING REVENUES. Cable television programming revenues increased $10.4 million, or 62%, from $16.9 million for the year ended December 31, 1998 to $27.3 million for the year ended December 31, 1999. This increase was due to the following: - PIN's revenues increased $8.0 million, or 56%, primarily as a result of a 50% increase in FTREs receiving PIN. During 1999, PIN also added a number of significant cable television systems and advertising markets including Boston, Dallas, Houston, Miami, Salt Lake City, Las Vegas and Detroit. The number of full-time revenue equivalent subscribers, or FTRE's, receiving PIN increased by 3.0 million, or 30%, from December 31, 1998 to December 31, 1999. The number of households receiving PIN increased by 9.5 million, or 46%, from December 31, 1998 to December 31, 1999. - GAC's revenues increased $2.4 million, or 97%, as a result of a $2.2 million, or 181%, increase in advertising revenues and a $0.2 million, or 14%, increase in license fees. Advertising revenues increased due to higher advertising rates charged for airtime based on a 68% increase in the number of subscribers receiving GAC. During 1999, GAC added numerous, significant cable television systems and advertising markets including Atlanta, Detroit, Minneapolis, Sacramento, Salt Lake City, Baltimore, Knoxville and Los Angeles. GAC subscribers (as reported by cable operators) increased by 4.8 million, or 68%, from December 31, 1998 to December 31, 1999. This increase in subscribers allowed GAC to increase its advertising rates. 35 EXPENSES. Cable television programming expenses rose $9.7 million, or 56%, from $17.4 million for the year ended December 31, 1998 to $27.1 million for the year ended December 31, 1999. This was primarily due to an increase of $6.3 million in rebates to cable systems receiving PIN, driven by an increase in the number of FTREs receiving PIN and an increase in PIN revenues of $8.0 million from December 31, 1998 to December 31, 1999. The remaining increase in cable television expenses resulted from an increase in GAC affiliate sales costs related to absorption of a higher proportion of total affiliate sales costs; an increase in management and cable television programming support expenses; an increase in amortization expenses for GAC cable programming distribution agreement payments; an increase in marketing expenses to improve the distribution of GAC and an increase in programming expenses incurred to develop GAC programming. For each of the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1999, PIN made rebates of approximately 73% and 75%, respectively, of its advertising revenues to systems receiving its programming. Rebates paid to cable systems receiving its programming have remained relatively constant over the comparable periods on a per FTRE's basis. As a percentage of cable television programming revenues, cable television programming expenses decreased from 103% for the year ended December 31, 1998 to 99% for the year ended December 31, 1999. Historically we shared a cable television affiliate sales department with a related company. Because this company ceased distribution efforts in the last quarter of 1999, cable television affiliate sales expenses increased beginning in the last quarter of 1999 and continued to increase in 2000. OPERATING INCOME (LOSS). Operating income (loss) increased $0.7 million from an operating loss of $(0.5) million for the year ended December 31, 1998 to an operating income of $0.2 million for the year ended December 31, 1999 as a result of the factors stated above. SEGMENT EBITDA. Segment EBITDA increased $2.1 million from $0.2 million for the year ended December 31, 1998, to $2.3 million for the year ended December 31, 1999. SATELLITE SERVICES REVENUES. Satellite services revenues increased $2.3 million, or 38%, from $6.2 million for the year ended December 31, 1998 to $8.5 million for the year ended December 31, 1999. This increase was driven largely by: - $1.9 million in revenues from new third party satellite transponder and earth station agreements that we entered into in the second half of 1998 and second quarter of 1999; and - $0.4 million increase in satellite services fees charged to affiliated parties. EXPENSES. Satellite services expenses remained relatively flat at $5.3 million for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1999. As a percentage of satellite services revenues, satellite services expenses decreased from 85% for the year ended December 31, 1998 to 63% for the year ended December 31, 1999. OPERATING INCOME (LOSS). Operating income (loss) increased $2.3 million from $0.9 million for the year ended December 31, 1998 to $3.2 million for the year ended December 31, 1999 as a result of the factors stated above. 36 SEGMENT EBITDA. Segment EBITDA increased $2.3 million, or 47%, from $4.9 million for the year ended December 31, 1998, to $7.2 million for the year ended December 31, 1999. SEASONALITY AND QUARTERLY FLUCTUATIONS Our advertising revenues in the radio and cable television industries fluctuate due to seasonality in these industries. We believe that our network radio revenues are typically lowest in the first quarter and cable television network revenues are typically lowest in the third quarter. With the acquisition of the assets of Broadcast Programming, which increased our presence in network radio, we expect that our seasonal trend of lower first quarter revenues will be more significant because network radio will be a greater percentage of our total revenues. Other than fees paid to third parties for certain of our network radio, fees paid in connection with the distribution of PIN and the sales commissions paid to account executives for radio and advertising sales services, our expenses have not historically varied significantly relative to the seasonal fluctuation of revenues. Our quarterly and annual results of operations are affected by a wide variety of factors, many of which are outside of our control and could materially and adversely affect our profitability. These factors include the timing and volume of advertising on our radio and cable television networks, the number and size of the radio stations that carry our radio programming, the number and size of cable systems and video distributors that carry PIN and GAC and overall economic conditions. The following table reflects the unaudited percentage of total revenues for each business segment received in each quarter of each of 1999 and 2000, adjusted to give effect to our acquisition of Broadcast Programming as if it had occurred at the beginning of 1999. Quarter Ended ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mar 31, June 30, Sept. 30, Dec. 31, Mar 31, June 30, Sept. 30, Dec. 31, 1999 1999 1999 1999 2000 2000 2000 2000 -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- Pro Forma: Network Radio .................. 19% 25% 27% 29% 23% 26% 25% 26% Cable television programming ... 21% 25% 24% 30% 25% 24% 23% 28% LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Since our inception, we have incurred net losses, primarily as a result of expenses associated with developing and launching our programming networks as well as financing costs. For the years ended December 31, 1998, 1999 and 2000, we incurred net losses of $(11.5) million, $(10.1) million and $(8.9) million, respectively. Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1999 and 2000 was $(7.1) million, $2.4 million and $7.8 million, respectively. The implementation of our growth strategies depends on a number of factors, including the availability of cash generated from operations and available cash balances, and may require additional equity and/or debt financings, particularly to make significant acquisitions. Our indenture currently permits secured borrowings of up to $20.0 million. Currently, we do not have a credit facility in place which would make available such borrowings. We had cash and cash equivalents and available for sale securities of $18.6 million as of December 31, 2000. We believe that our cash balances, available for sale securities and operating cash flow, including the cash flows of and dividends and distributions from our subsidiaries, will fund our operating cash flow requirements through 2001. 37 We will continue to depend significantly upon the earnings and cash flows of, and dividends and distributions from, our subsidiaries to pay our expenses, meet our obligations and pay interest and principal on our Senior Notes and our other indebtedness as it may exist from time-to-time. While the terms of the PIN Venture generally require the mutual consent of ourselves and our joint venture partner to distribute or advance funds to ourselves, there are no significant contractual restrictions on distributions from our subsidiaries. We anticipate 2001 will be a difficult year for our cable television programming segment from an advertising sales and distribution perspective. PIN, and to a lesser extent GAC, are experiencing a soft cable television advertising sales market caused by a slowing economy and the resulting adverse impact on commercial inventory demand and national advertising spot rates. In addition, a lack of new infomercials and a decreasing number of infomercial suppliers are also negatively impacting PIN's revenues. If the cable television advertising sales market does not improve through the remainder of 2001, the partners in the PIN Venture may have to contribute additional capital to fund the PIN Venture through 2001. Our efforts to increase GAC subscriber distribution in 2001 is largely dependent upon our ability to attract cable operators to carry GAC on their digital programming tiers and to secure carriage with one or more direct broadcast satellite providers. Because cable operators have been slow to deploy their digital tiers, we anticipate GAC's subscriber distribution will grow modestly in 2001. INVESTING ACTIVITIES For the years ended December 31, 1999 and 2000, net cash used in investing activities was $(32.6) million and $(4.3) million, respectively. Our investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2000 consisted primarily of the following: - $3.2 million proceeds from the sale of available for sale securities; - $(3.3) million in cable programming distribution agreement payments for GAC; - $(0.8) million to purchase certain radio programs and other intangible assets; and - $(3.5) million for the purchase of property and equipment. Our investing activities for the year ended December 31, 1999 consisted primarily of: - $(20.9) million for the Broadcast Programming acquisition; - $(6.4) million in cable programming distribution agreement payments for GAC; - $(4.2)million in purchase of available for sale securities; and - $(0.8) million for the purchase of property and equipment. Total capital expenditures for 2001 are estimated to be approximately $4.3 million, which will be used 38 primarily to upgrade certain cable television and radio related earth station equipment, satellite receivers and to purchase computer hardware and develop software for the Internet advertising sales services segment. Total cable programming distribution agreement payments for GAC for 2001 are estimated to be approximately $5.0 million. FINANCING ACTIVITIES Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 2000 was $22.9 million and $(1.8) million, respectively. Net cash used in financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2000 was $(1.8) million. Net cash used in financing activities consisted of $(0.5) million of costs related to an attempted initial public offering of our Class A Common Stock. Such costs included financial printing, legal counsel, independent public accountants, regulatory and stock exchange registration fees, and other various costs associated with the offering. As a result of our withdrawal of this proposed equity offering, we have expensed all deferred offering costs relating to this equity offering. All of such costs were expensed in the third quarter of 2000. In addition, a distribution of $1.3 million was paid to the PIN Venture's minority partner in the fourth quarter of 2000. Our financing activities for the year ended December 31, 1999 consisted of the issuance of $24.0 million of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. We used $20.0 million of the proceeds from our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock issuance to repay $20.0 million of indebtedness under our $20.0 million credit facility. The balance was used to develop our companion radio and cable television programming websites. Also, a distribution of $0.9 million was paid to the PIN Venture's minority partner in 1999. In October 2000, we withdrew our registration for an initial public offering due to unfavorable market conditions. At such time as market conditions improve, we will reconsider an initial public offering of our Class A Common Stock. We are considering a number of financing alternatives to provide us with additional liquidity to implement our growth strategies. However, current equity and debt market conditions for media companies in general are unfavorable and it is unlikely we would raise additional equity or debt capital until such market conditions improve. There can be no assurance we will be successful in these efforts or that financing will be available on terms we view as acceptable. On July 29, 1999, we entered into a $20.0 million credit facility with a commercial bank to finance the Broadcast Programming acquisition on a short-term basis. In order to allow us to obtain more favorable terms, Jones International guaranteed the loan and provided certain collateral as security for the guaranty. The credit facility bore interest either at the commercial bank's prime rate minus two percent or a fixed rate (which is approximately equal to LIBOR) plus .5%. This credit facility expired on June 30, 2000. As a result of the 1999 transfer of a controlling interest in Jones Intercable, Jones Intercable ceased offering many administrative and related services to the various entities affiliated with Mr. Jones. Expenses related to these administrative and related services had been divided among the various entities affiliated with Mr. Jones. Beginning in the second half of 1999, increases in certain overhead and related costs, including rent, computer services, insurance and certain personnel costs increased by approximately $35,000 to $50,000 per month. These expenses are expected to remain at levels consistent with the second quarter of 2000 through 2001. 39 ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows due to adverse changes in financial market prices. We are exposed to market risk through interest rates. This exposure is directly related to our normal funding and investing activities. As of December 31, 2000, none of our current liabilities was subject to changes in interest rates. 40 ITEM 8.

Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit, also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Jones Media Networks, Ltd. and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 1999 and 2000, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2000 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998, 1999 AND 2000 (1) ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS Jones Media Networks, Ltd. (the "Company"),a Colorado corporation, was incorporated in May 1998. The Company is the successor of several companies which have been conducting business for a number of years. The Company was formerly known as Jones International Networks, Ltd. In an effort to better reflect the Company's core business focus, in December 2000, the Company changed its name to Jones Media Networks, Ltd. The Company is a majority-owned subsidiary of Jones International, Ltd. ("Jones International"), a holding company with ownership in several companies involved in various industries. Jones International is wholly owned by Mr. Jones, who is Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Jones International and various of its subsidiaries. The Company owns and operates a network radio business and two cable television networks. The Company creates, develops, acquires, produces and syndicates programming that the Company distributes to radio stations, cable television system operators and other video distributors. Through its radio and cable television media, the Company aggregates and targets a nationwide audience, thereby providing national advertisers with an efficient means to reach their desired demographic groups. The Company also started an Internet advertising sales business in 2000. The Company also provides satellite services to facilitate the distribution of its programming and that of other companies. VENTURES--The Company is a partner in the Product Information Network Venture ("PIN Venture"). The PIN Venture commenced operations on February 1, 1995 and is a joint venture which is owned approximately 55 percent by the Company and 45 percent by a third party. The PIN Venture owns and operates a 24-hour-a-day cable television network for the airing of long-form advertising ("infomercials"). Galactic/Tempo ("Superaudio") and Jones/Capstar LLC were also joint ventures of the Company. Superaudio ceased distributing its programming and all other operating activities on January 31, 2000. Jones Radio Network, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, purchased all Jones/Capstar assets on April 1, 2000 and now directs, produces and distributes its programming. (2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS--The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity when purchased of three months or less to be cash equivalents. AVAILABLE FOR SALE SECURITIES--Available for sale marketable securities are carried at fair value, with unrealized holding gains and losses reported as a separate component of shareholders' equity deficit. The cost of securities sold is determined using the first-in, first-out method. At December 31, 2000, the Company held marketable securities available for sale with an aggregate cost of approximately $3,714,000 and a net unrealized loss of approximately $2,000. 47 JONES MEDIA NETWORKS, LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS--The fair value of the Company's financial instruments is estimated based on the quoted market prices for similar instruments. The carrying value of the Company's accounts receivable and cash equivalents are assumed to approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these accounts (see Note 11). PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION--The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all majority-owned and controlled subsidiaries. Investments in entities which are not majority-owned and controlled by the Company are accounted for under the equity method. All significant intercompany balances and profits have been eliminated in consolidation. MINORITY INTEREST--The minority interest in the net income or loss of the Company's consolidated subsidiaries is reflected in the consolidated statements of operations. To the extent the minority interest in the net losses of the Company's consolidated subsidiaries exceeds the minority investment in those subsidiaries, such excess losses are charged to the Company. No such excess losses were incurred in 1998, 1999 or 2000. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT--Property and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of 3 to 15 years. The building is depreciated using the straight-line method over an estimated useful life of 40 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the lesser of five years or the term of the lease. Satellite transponders are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of 12 years. GOODWILL--Goodwill consists primarily of the excess purchase price paid in the PIN Venture acquisition in 1997, the excess purchase price paid in the MediaAmerica acquisition in 1998 (see Note 5) and the excess purchase price paid in the Broadcast Programming acquisition in 1999 (see Note 6). Goodwill related to the PIN Venture, and the MediaAmerica and Broadcast Programming acquisitions is amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated economic lives, which are 18 years, 40 years and 20 years, respectively. INTANGIBLE ASSETS--Intangible assets consist primarily of radio programming licensing agreements, cable programming distribution agreement payments, personal service agreements and investment in programming. Radio programming licensing agreements and cable programming distribution agreement payments are amortized using the straight-line method over the lesser of 15 years or over the period during which a portion of such payments is refundable. Personal service agreements are amortized using the straight-line method over the terms of the agreements. Investment in programming is amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of each program. LONG-LIVED ASSETS--The Company reviews for the impairment of long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company has identified no such impairment indicators for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 2000. In 1999, the Company wrote off approximately $802,000 of capitalized costs 48 JONES MEDIA NETWORKS, LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) for programs that were no longer distributed. This impairment was recorded in depreciation and amortization expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. DEFERRED COMMISSIONS--Sales commissions are included in other assets and are amortized using the straight-line method over the life of the corresponding affiliate agreements from which the sales commission was paid. The current amount represents the portion to be amortized within the next 12 months. DEFERRED EQUITY OFFERING COSTS--In late 1999 and early 2000, the Company incurred approximately $725,000 in equity offering costs related primarily to financial advisory, legal and accounting fees in connection with an attempted initial public offering of the Company's Class A Common Stock. As a result of the Company's withdrawal of this equity offering, the Company has expensed all deferred equity offering costs relating to this equity offering. All such costs were expensed in the third quarter of 2000. DEFERRED FINANCING COSTS--In 1998, the Company incurred approximately $4,526,000 of debt offering costs related primarily to financial advisory services, legal counsel, independent public accountants, regulatory and stock exchange registration fees and other various costs associated with the Notes offering. Deferred financing costs are amortized to interest expense over the term of the Notes. CUSTOMER DEPOSITS AND DEFERRED REVENUES--Customer deposits consist of unearned revenues associated with affiliate fees and refundable advance payments that are recognized as income as the related advertising is aired. Deferred revenues consist of advance payments and a security deposit paid by a lessee of the Company's satellite transponder. INCOME TAXES--Prior to April 2, 1997, the Company joined with Jones International in filing a consolidated Federal tax return as provided for under the terms of a tax allocation agreement with Jones International. As a result of the issuance of additional shares of the Company's common stock, less than 80 percent of the Company's outstanding common stock was beneficially owned by Jones International as of April 2, 1997. Therefore, the Company is no longer joined with Jones International in filing a consolidated Federal tax return. However, the Company continues to file combined state tax returns with Jones International in certain states as provided for under the terms of the tax allocation agreement (see Note 15). The tax allocation agreement with Jones International gave Jones International the option to either make a payment of the tax benefits due to the subsidiary members of the tax sharing group or to defer such payments until a subsequent taxable period in which the subsidiary member generated taxable income and had a tax payment due either to Jones International or to a state taxing authority. Jones International could defer such payments for a period not to exceed five years from the date the tax return was filed and could accrue interest at the time the deferred benefit amounts originated. For the year ended December 31, 1998, the Company recorded a tax provision of approximately $49,000 to adjust estimated tax provisions to actual tax provisions for the year ended December 31, 1997. In 1999, Jones International elected to make a $1,293,000 payment of state tax benefit through a reduction of the intercompany balance due Jones International from the Company. As of December 31, 1999, the Company recorded a state tax benefit of approximately $879,000. 49 JONES MEDIA NETWORKS, LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) Jones International elected to pay this benefit through a reduction of the intercompany balance between the Company and Jones International in 1999. The Company accounts for deferred tax liabilities or assets based on the temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities as measured by the enacted tax rates which are expected to be in effect when these differences reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced, if deemed necessary, by a valuation allowance for the amount of any tax benefits which, based upon current circumstances, are not expected to be realized. REVENUE RECOGNITION--The Company's revenues are comprised of network radio revenues, cable television programming revenues, Internet advertising sales services revenues and satellite services revenues. In accordance with industry practice, network radio, cable television programming and Internet advertising sales services revenues are recognized based on the standard broadcast calendar that ends on the last Sunday of each reporting period. The broadcast calendar for the calendar years ended December 31, 1997, 1998 and 1999 each had 52 weeks. The broadcast calendar for the year ended December 31, 2000 had 53 weeks. Network radio revenues consist primarily of advertising revenue, fees for programming and services the Company provides to radio stations and to third party producers, e-commerce revenues and other revenues generated by companion websites of certain radio programs. The Company provides radio programming and services to radio stations in exchange for commercial inventory that we resell to national advertisers who market their product or services on the radio network and the Company recognizes revenue upon airing the advertisements. In addition, the Company generates advertising revenues by charging fees to third party producers for certain advertising sales and affiliates sales services, which are based on a percentage of related advertising revenue. Any amounts received from customers for radio advertisements that have not been aired during the period are recorded as deferred revenues until such time as the advertisement is aired. Radio station license fees are earned monthly from certain stations based on the radio station's contractual agreement. Cable television programming revenues include advertising, license fees and e-commerce revenues. The Company generates television advertising revenues by selling airtime to advertisers who advertise their products or services on the networks. The Company recognizes advertising revenues upon the airing of the advertisements. Any amounts received from customers for television advertisements that have not been aired during the period are recorded as deferred revenues until such time as the advertisement is aired. The Company delivers its programming to cable television systems for distribution to their viewers. Cable television system license fees are earned monthly based on a per subscriber fee set under the terms of the cable operator's contractual agreement and the number of subscribers that are receiving the Company's programming during the respective month. In January 2000, the Company began developing an Internet advertising sales services business which sells national streaming media advertising for third parties. Internet advertising sales services revenues 50 JONES MEDIA NETWORKS, LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) includes advertising revenues generated by charging fees for selling national advertisements. Fees charged in this business are generally based on a percentage of the advertising revenues generated for third parties. The Company recognizes the advertising revenues upon airing of the advertisements. Any fees received from third parties for advertisements that have not been aired during the period are recorded as deferred revenues until such time as the advertisement is aired. Satellite services revenues include revenues from satellite delivery, uplinking, trafficking, playback and other earth station services. The Company generates revenues by providing such services to affiliates and third parties. The Company recognizes satellite delivery and production support revenues upon completion of the services or upon contractual arrangements. USE OF ESTIMATES--The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. RECLASSIFICATION--Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS--In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 133, "Accounting for Derivatives and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 133"). SFAS 133 was to be effective for all fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. SFAS 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. In July 1999, SFAS No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities--Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133" ("SFAS 137") was issued. SFAS 137 deferred the effective date of SFAS 133 until fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. In June 2000, SFAS No. 138, "Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities - an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133" ("SFAS 138") was issued. SFAS 138 addresses a limited number of issues causing difficulties in the implementation of SFAS 133 and is required to be adopted concurrent with SFAS 133. The Company has not engaged in hedging activities and does not believe that the adoption of SFAS 133 and SFAS 138 will have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations. In September 2000, the FASB issued Statement No. 140 "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities - a Replacement of FASB Statement No. 125" ("SFAS 140"). SFAS 140 replaces FASB Statement No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities" and revises the standards for accounting for securitizations and other transfers of financial assets and collateral and requires certain disclosures. Among other requirements, SFAS 140 requires a debtor to (a) reclassify financial assets pledged as collateral and report those assets in its statement of financial position separately from other assets not so encumbered if the secured party has the right by contract or custom to sell or repledge the collateral and (b) disclose assets pledged as collateral that 51 JONES MEDIA NETWORKS, LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) have not been reclassified and separately reported in the statement of financial position. SFAS 140 is effective for financial statements for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2000. The Company adopted SFAS 140 for the year ending December 31, 2000, the results of which did not have a material impact on the financial statements or notes thereto.

MediaAmerica provided advertising sales services and also owned syndicated radio programming. The seller of MediaAmerica received $26.7 million in cash and $8.1 million in shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company valued at $12 per share, which included 177,464 and 1,176 shares of Class A Common Stock for a working capital adjustment in 1998 and 1999, respectively. There are no further working capital adjustments. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase. The Company recorded approximately $29.8 million in goodwill in connection with the acquisition of MediaAmerica. 52 JONES MEDIA NETWORKS, LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) The seller of MediaAmerica has the right to cause the Company to repurchase the shares of the Company issued in the MediaAmerica acquisition at any time after three years from the July 10, 1998 closing. The price would be the fair market value of the Class A Common Stock on the date of exercise of the put, as determined by agreement or by an independent investment banking firm. The Company has a correlative right to require that the seller of MediaAmerica to sell such shares to the Company at fair market value. Such rights terminate upon an initial public offering by the Company. Before the seller can require the Company to buy its shares, the Company must have available cash (as defined); this condition lapses after seven and one quarter years from the date of closing. If the Company has exercised its purchase right and there is a change of control involving a higher price within nine months of the exercise of the call, the Company must pay specified additional consideration.

In order to allow the Company to obtain more favorable terms, Jones International had guaranteed the loan and provided certain collateral as security for the guaranty. The Credit Facility bore interest either at the commercial bank's prime rate minus two percent or a fixed rate (which is approximately equal to LIBOR) plus one half of one percent. The interest rate was 6.5% per annum as of December 31, 1999. On September 30, 1999, the Company used the proceeds from the sale of shares of its Series A Preferred Stock to pay down all amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility (see Note 8). The Credit Facility expired on June 30, 2000. (8) SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK In 1999, the Company issued $24.0 million of Series A Preferred Stock. The Company used $20.0 million of the proceeds from the Series A Preferred Stock issuance to repay $20.0 million of indebtedness under the Company's $20.0 million Credit Facility. The balance was used to develop and enhance the Company's radio and cable television websites. The holders of the Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to receive dividends if and when declared by the Board of Directors. No dividends will be paid on Class A or Class B Common Stock unless equal dividends have been declared and paid on the Series A Preferred Stock.

The Series A Preferred Stock will be automatically converted into Class A Common Stock of the Company upon the completion by the Company of a public offering or a series of public offerings raising aggregate gross proceeds of at least $20 million. (9) TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES The Company is a subsidiary of Jones International, a holding company with ownership in several companies involved in various industries.

Jones International charged the Company interest of approximately $506,000 and $38,000, for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1999, respectively. The Company repaid these advances from borrowings, operating cash flow and/or available cash balances. In the normal course of business, Jones International (1) remits funds on behalf of the Company to third parties and affiliates in payment for products and services purchased by the Company, and (2) receives funds on behalf of the Company in payment for products and services provided by the Company.

AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) (10) SENIOR SECURED NOTES In July 1998, the Company issued $100 million of 11 3/4 percent Senior Secured Notes (the "Notes"). Interest on the Notes is payable semi-annually on January 1 and July 1 of each year, commencing January 1, 1999. The Notes will mature on July 1, 2005. Except as described below, the Company may not redeem the Notes prior to July 1, 2003. On or after such date, the Company may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at any time, at a redemption price of 105.875 percent of the principal amount to be redeemed for the 12 month period commencing July 1, 2003 and declining to 100 percent of the principal amount to be redeemed for the period after July 1, 2004, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption.

The Notes are unconditionally guaranteed (the "Guarantees") by each of the Subsidiary Guarantors (as defined). The Guarantees are senior obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors and rank pari passu in right of payment with all existing and future Senior Indebtedness of the Subsidiary Guarantors, other than Bank Indebtedness (as defined) and Capitalized Lease Obligations (as defined) of the Subsidiary Guarantors, and are ranked senior in right of payment to all existing and future Subordinated Obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors. The Guarantees are not secured. (11) FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value: SENIOR SECURED NOTES - The fair value of the Notes was estimated based on the quoted market prices for the Notes. CLASS A COMMON STOCK SUBJECT TO PUT - The fair value of the Company's Class A Common Stock subject to put is estimated based on the estimated purchase price to buy back the Class A Common Stock (see Note 17). The estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments are as follows: 57 JONES MEDIA NETWORKS, LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) December 31, ----------------------------------------------------------------- 1999 2000 ------------------------------ ----------------------------- Carry Fair Carry Fair Amount Value Amount Value ------------ ------------ ------------ ----------- Senior Secured Notes .................. $100,000,000 $101,500,000 $100,000,000 $95,000,000 Class A Common Stock subject to put ... 1,213,000 1,021,000 1,311,000 951,000 (12) COMMON STOCK VOTING RIGHTS--Holders of Class A Common Stock are generally entitled to one vote per share and are entitled to elect 25% of the Board of Directors, and holders of Class B Common Stock are entitled to ten votes per share and to elect the remaining 75% of the Board of Directors. Both classes vote together as a single class on all matters not requiring a class vote under Colorado law. STOCK SPLIT--The Board of Directors approved a 5 for 4 forward stock split with respect to the shares of the Company's Class A and Class B Common Stock. This stock split has been reflected retroactively in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. (13) STOCK OPTIONS The Company has adopted an employee stock option plan (the "Plan") that provides for the grant of stock options and stock appreciation rights ("SARs") to employees of the Company. The Plan is construed, interpreted and administered by the Board of Directors or a committee of two of more non-employee directors. The committee or the Board of Directors determines the individuals to whom options are granted, the number of shares subject to the options, the exercise price of the options, the period over which the options become exercisable and the terms and provisions of stock options as it may determine from time to time, subject only to the provisions of the Plan. The Plan (as amended) covers an aggregate of up to 1,750,000 shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock. As of December 31, 2000, options to purchase 1,015,000 shares of Class A Common Stock have been granted and 141,250 shares have been terminated or forfeited upon resignation of the holders. The options outstanding at December 31, 2000 have an exercise price of $12 per share and a weighted average remaining contractual life of 8.73 years. At December 31, 2000, options of 149,063 shares were exercisable. The Company accounts for this plan under Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, under which no compensation has been recognized. Had compensation cost for this plan been determined consistent with SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," the Company's net loss and basic and diluted earnings per share would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated below 58 JONES MEDIA NETWORKS, LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) Year Ended December 31, ---------------------------------- 1999 2000 ------------- ------------ Net loss As reported $ (10,063,000) $ (8,915,000) Pro forma (10,375,000) (9,445,000) Basic loss per share As reported $ (1.32) $ (1.16) Pro forma (1.36) (1.23) Diluted loss per share As reported $ (1.32) $ (1.17) Pro forma (1.36) (1.24) The fair value of each of the option granted is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions used for grants in 1999: risk-free interest rates of 5.26 percent, an expected life of 7 years and expected volatility of 60%. Assumptions used for grants in 2000: risk-free interest rates at 5.16 percent, an expected life of 7 years and expected volatility of 60%. (14) NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE In February 1997, FASB issued SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share." This statement replaced the calculation of primary and fully diluted earnings per share with basic and diluted earnings per share. Unlike primary earnings per share, basic earnings per share excludes any dilutive effects of options, warrants and convertible securities. Diluted earnings per share is similar to the previously reported fully diluted earnings per share. Basic and diluted weighted average shares amounts for all periods are presented below in accordance with the requirements of SFAS No. 128. 1998 1999 2000 --------- --------- --------- Weighted average shares for basic EPS ..... 6,715,805 7,617,926 7,665,843 Less: Shares subject to put ............... 13,795 16,058 51,888 Weighted average shares for diluted EPS ... 6,702,010 7,601,868 7,613,955 (15) INCOME TAXES As described in Note 2, the Company joined in filing a consolidated Federal tax return as provided for under the terms of a tax sharing agreement with Jones International and Jones International's other subsidiaries through the first quarter of 1997. Subsequent to the first quarter of 1997, the Company continues to join in filing certain combined state tax returns with Jones International in accordance with the tax sharing agreement. However, the Company does not file combined or consolidated tax returns for all states. Thus, certain subsidiaries incur tax liabilities in a number of states. Pursuant to the terms of the 59 JONES MEDIA NETWORKS, LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) agreement, tax (provisions) benefits are allocated to members of the tax sharing group based on their respective pro rata contribution of taxable income (loss) to Jones International's combined taxable income (loss). For the year ended December 31, 1998, the Company recorded a Federal tax provision of approximately $49,000 to adjust estimated tax provisions to actual tax provisions for the year ended December 31, 1997. For the year ended December 31, 1999, the Company recognized a state tax benefit of approximately $879,000 as a result of the tax sharing arrangement with Jones International. For the year ended December 31, 2000, no state tax benefit (provision) was recognized as a result of the tax sharing arrangement with Jones International. The difference between the statutory federal income tax rate and effective rate is summarized as follows: Year Ended December 31, ----------------------------------------------- 1998 1999 2000 ----------- ----------- ----------- Computed "expected tax benefit" .............................. $ 3,991,000 $ 3,332,000 $ 2,701,000 State taxes, net of federal benefit .......................... 371,000 294,000 251,000 Minority interest in net loss ................................ -- -- 411,000 Other ........................................................

In addition, the Company had net capital loss carryforwards of approximately $0.7 million at December 31, 2000, which will expire in 2006. Although management expects future results of operations to improve, it recognizes the Company's past performance rather than growth projections when determining the valuation allowance. Any subsequent 60 JONES MEDIA NETWORKS, LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) adjustment to the valuation allowance, if deemed appropriate due to changed circumstances, will be recognized as a separate component of the provision for income taxes. (16) EMPLOYEE INVESTMENT AND DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLANS The Company's employees are eligible to participate in an Employee Profit Sharing/Retirement Savings Plan (the "401(k) Plan"). Under the 401(k) Plan, eligible employees are permitted to defer up to 16% of their annual compensation. The Company currently matches 50% of the employees' deferrals up to a maximum of 6% of their annual compensation, with the Company's contribution vesting immediately. Contributions to the 401(k) Plan are invested by the trustees of the 401(k) Plan in accordance with the directions of each participant. Participants or their beneficiaries are entitled to payment of benefits (i) upon retirement either at or after age 65, (ii) upon death or disability or (iii) upon termination of employment, unless the participant elects to receive payment prior to one of the events previously listed. For the years ended December 31, 1998, 1999 and 2000, the Company contributed approximately $99,000, $262,000 and $447,000, respectively, to the 401(k) Plan on behalf of its employees. Certain of the Company's key management personnel are eligible to participate in a Deferred Compensation Plan (the "Deferred Compensation Plan"). Under the Deferred Compensation Plan, key employees are permitted to defer receipt of 100% of their annual compensation. The Company currently matches the key employees' deferrals up to a maximum of 6% of their compensation. The contributed funds are deposited with an independent trustee and are invested in a number of pre-selected investment funds. Both the key employees' and the Company's contributions are subject to the claims of the Company's creditors. Participants in the Deferred Compensation Plan or their beneficiaries receive a distribution of their contributions, the Company's contributions, and earnings attributable to those contributions on their separation from employment with the Company or their death. Contributions made by the Company to the Deferred Compensation Plan on behalf of key employees totaled approximately $33,000, $110,000 and $98,000 for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1999 and 2000, respectively. (17) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES GAC EQUITY AGREEMENT--In 1998, Great American Country and the Company entered into an equity affiliate agreement with a multiple cable system operator ("MSO"). Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, the Company agreed to issue shares of Class A Common Stock to this MSO in return for this MSOs providing Great American Country's programming to no less than 550,000 of their subscribers by May 31, 1998 and an additional 150,000 subscribers by December 31, 1999. The total number of shares of Class A Common Stock issued was based on the number of subscribers provided by this MSO. As of December 31, 2000, 136,540 shares of Class A Common Stock had been issued. No additional shares of Class A Common Stock are required to be issued to this MSO. The value of the Class A Common Stock was recorded as an intangible asset upon execution of the affiliate agreements and upon issuance of the Class A Common Stock. This intangible is being amortized using the straight-line method over the life of the contract (approximately 10 years). Because of a put option granted to this MSO, the shares issued to this MSO are presented above the Shareholders' Deficit section of the Statements of Financial Position. The 61 JONES MEDIA NETWORKS, LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) amount of accretion from the value of the shares issued to the put option at the exercise date is not significant. As noted above, this MSO was granted a put option on the Class A Common Stock issued, whereby, if as of December 31, 2001, the Company or its successor has not completed a public offering of its securities, the MSO would have the option within 60 days of such date to require the Company to buy back its Class A Common Stock at a price equal to all or a portion of the license fees that would have been paid during the period between the date of the agreement and the exercise date of the put option. The purchase price would be based on the total number of MSO subscribers receiving the Great American Country service as of December 31, 1999. Based on the number of subscribers receiving the Great American Country service at December 31, 1999, the estimated purchase price of the Class A Common Stock in the event the put option is exercised would be approximately $951,000. The Company rents office facilities, leases computer equipment, leases satellite transponder and enters into digital satellite agreements under various operating agreements. As of December 31, 2000, future minimum lease payments under these noncancelable operating leases for each of the next five fiscal years and thereafter, are as follows: For the Year Ended December 31, -------------------------------------- 2001 $ 2,109,000 2002 2,392,000 2003 2,166,000 2004 2,166,000 2005 2,166,000 Thereafter 4,492,000 ------------ $ 15,491,000 ============ (18) CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL INFORMATION FOR SUBSIDIARY GUARANTORS The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior unsecured basis by the following wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company: JPN, Inc., Jones Direct, Ltd., Jones Space Holdings, Inc., Jones Earth Segment, Inc., Jones Infomercial Networks, Inc., Jones Radio Holdings, Inc., Great American Country, Inc., Jones Galactic Radio, Inc., Jones Infomercial Network Ventures, Inc., Jones Galactic Radio Partners, Inc., Jones Radio Network, Inc., Jones Audio Services, Inc., Jones Radio Network Ventures, Inc., Jones MediaAmerica, Inc., Jones Broadcast Programming, Inc., Jones MatchMedia, Inc., and Jones MAI Radio, Inc.

AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) The Company has not provided separate complete financial statements and other disclosures of the respective Subsidiary Guarantors because management has determined that such information is not material to investors. There are no significant contractual restrictions on distributions from each of the Subsidiary Guarantors to the Company. Investments in subsidiaries are required to be accounted for by investors on the equity method for purposes of the supplemental condensed consolidating financial statement presentation. Under this method, investments are recorded at cost and adjusted for the investor company's ownership share of the subsidiaries' cumulative results of operations. In addition, investments increase in the amount of contributions to subsidiaries and decrease in the amount of distributions from subsidiaries. The elimination entries necessary for consolidation purposes eliminate the equity method accounting for the investment in subsidiaries and the equity in earnings of subsidiaries, intercompany payables and receivables and other transactions between subsidiaries including contributions and distributions. Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 require presentation of the following supplemental condensed consolidating financial statements.

The Company's reportable segments have been determined in accordance with the Company's internal management structure. See Note 2 for descriptive information about the Company's segments and the summary of significant accounting policies. The Company evaluates performance based on many factors, one of the primary measures is EBITDA. EBITDA represents operating income (loss) plus depreciation and amortization minus the EBITDA attributable to the minority interests in the PIN Venture, a consolidated 55%-owned subsidiary. The following tables set forth the Company's financial results by operating segments. The presentation of reportable segments has been changed from that presented in the prior periods to combine the results of operations from Internet websites related to the Company's radio programming with the network radio segment and the results of operations from Internet websites related to one of the Company's cable television networks with the cable television programming segment. Because of the complementary nature of the Company's Internet websites to their respective radio program and cable television network counterparts, the Company has decided to include the results of operations of these companion websites in the Company's respective network radio and cable television programming operations. In addition, the Company has combined the presentation of its radio programming content and radio advertising sales services segments 69 JONES MEDIA NETWORKS, LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) into the network radio segment. Management believes that this presentation provides a more meaningful analysis of the Company's business segments.

(3) Pursuant to an agreement with Mr. Wayne, in November 1999, Mr. Wayne received a $250,000 bonus based on attainment of a specified level of distribution of GAC.

BONUS PLAN Effective for 2000, the Board adopted a bonus plan that will generally cover all of our divisions and companies, except PIN, which has its own bonus plan. The plan covers our associates, including executives. Bonuses will be calculated on a number of different bases, depending upon the division or company involved, the position held by the recipient, the nature of the business of that division or company, the specific targets and the means of measuring achievement (such as comparison of revenues and EBITDA with budgeted revenue and EBITDA levels). Bonuses are generally based on a percentage of base salary. Bonuses will be partially "objective" (for example, meeting certain budget criteria) and, to a lesser extent, "subjective" (relating specifically to an individual's overall achievements during the year). The bonuses of the Named Executive Officers will be in the range of 25% of base salary if budget levels are achieved. Other personnel will participate at ranges of approximately 3% to 25% of their base salaries, depending on their achievement of the objective and subjective measures under the plan. Extraordinary levels of achievement could result in bonuses exceeding 25% of an individual's base salary. OPTION GRANTS IN 2000 79 Options to acquire 1,015,000 shares of Class A Common Stock have been granted under our 1998 Stock Option Plan (the "Plan"), of which options for 141,250 shares have been terminated or forfeited upon resignation of the holders. No options have been exercised. The following table sets forth information with respect to grants of stock options during 2000 to the executive officers named in the Summary Compensation Table.

CHANGES OF VESTING OF CERTAIN OPTIONS. Certain stock option agreements for Messrs. Wayne and Lewis, to purchase an aggregate of 120,000 and 100,000 shares of Class A Common Stock, respectively, require the vesting of any unvested portions of said option upon the occurrence of certain events, including the sale of all or substantially all of the assets or a merger in which we, or a company controlled by Mr. Jones, is not the surviving corporation. These options would not so vest if the optionee is retained in his present position and job site after the event. COMMITTEES 80 Our Board currently has an executive committee, a compensation committee and an audit committee. The executive committee was established on October 11, 1999 and consists of Messrs. Jones, Hartenbaum and Burke. No executive committee meetings were held in 2000. The executive committee may act in the Board's stead, except where action by the full Board is required by law, by our articles of incorporation, our bylaws or the indenture governing our Senior Notes. The compensation committee was established on March 14, 2000 and consists of Messrs. Vierra and Krejci and Ms. Rico. No compensation committee meetings were held during 2000. The compensation committee determines compensation, excluding awards under our 1998 Stock Option Plan, for our executive officers. The audit committee was established on March 14, 2000 and consists of Messrs. Krejci and Vierra and Ms. Rico. Three audit committee meetings were held during 2000. The audit committee makes recommendations concerning the engagement of independent public accountants, reviews with the independent public accountants the results of audits, approves professional services provided by the independent public accountants, considers the range of audit and non-audit fees and reviews the adequacy of our internal accounting controls. COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS We pay directors who are not officers of ours or our affiliates, $2,500 per quarter and $500 for attending in person each meeting of the board or one of its committees. All directors are reimbursed for their expenses in attending board and committee meetings. All directors hold office for a period of one year or until their successors are elected and qualified, or until their earlier resignation or removal. SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE Not applicable. EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS On July 10, 1998, we entered into employment agreements with Ron Hartenbaum and Gary Schonfeld. These employment agreements are for three years and restrict them from competing with us during the term of employment and for two years after the agreements terminate. These agreements were amended on January 10, 2001 to extend their term to July 10, 2004 and to increase the annual salaries of Messrs. Hartenbaum and Schonfeld to $350,000. These agreements renew annually unless terminated by the parties. Each agreement provides for eligibility for a variety of employee benefits and plans generally made available to our key associates at their level. On January 10, 2001, Messrs. Hartenbaum and Schonfeld were each granted a stock option to purchase 75,000 shares of our Class A Common Stock at an exercise price per share of $12.00, which was determined to be not less than the fair market value of a share of our Class A Common Stock on the date of grant. Both of these stock option agreements require the vesting of any unvested portions of said option upon the occurrence of certain events, including the sale of all or substantially 81 all of the assets or a merger in which we, or a company controlled by Mr. Jones, is not the surviving corporation. These options would not so vest if the optionee is retained in his present position and job site after the event. 82 COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION During 2000, the Board set the compensation of our executive officers. From January 1, 2000 through March 14, 2000, the Board was comprised of Messrs. Jones, Wayne, Lewis, Hartenbaum, Vierra and Burke and Ms. Rico. On March 14, 2000, Mr. Krejci became a member of the Board. Messrs.

The holders of the Class B Common Stock have the right to convert their shares of Class B Common Stock into shares of Class A Common Stock on a share for share basis at any time at their option.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS Where applicable, references in this section to amounts paid to or by us include amounts paid to or by the PIN Venture, an entity that is not wholly owned, as well as our wholly owned subsidiaries. ADVANCES Since our inception, we have received advances from Jones International and related parties to fund our activities. These advances had no maturity date and accrued interest at the published prime rate plus 2%. Starting in April 1999, these amounts were reimbursed from or to Jones International on a monthly basis and no interest was paid in 2000. TAX SHARING AGREEMENT Prior to April 2, 1997, we joined in filing a consolidated Federal tax return as provided for under the terms of a tax allocation agreement with Jones International and certain of Jones International's subsidiaries. Pursuant to the terms of the tax allocation agreement, tax provisions (benefits) were allocated to the members of the tax sharing group based on their respective pro rata contribution of taxable income (loss) to Jones International's consolidated taxable income (loss). As a result of certain stock issuances on April 1, 1997, less than 80% of our outstanding common stock was owned by Jones International and, therefore, we no longer join with Jones International in filing a consolidated Federal tax return. However, we continue to file combined state tax returns with Jones International in some states, as provided for under the terms of the tax allocation agreement. The tax allocation agreement with Jones International gave Jones International the option to either make a payment of the tax benefits due to the subsidiary members of the tax sharing group or defer such payments until a subsequent taxable period in which the subsidiary member generates taxable income and has a tax payment due either to Jones International or to a federal or state taxing authority. Jones International could defer such payments for a period not to exceed five years from the date the tax benefits were incurred and would accrue interest at the time the deferred amounts originate. For the year ended December 31, 2000, no state tax benefit (provision) was recognized as a result of the tax sharing arrangement with Jones International. SATELLITE SERVICES We have agreements to provide uplinking, playback, trafficking and related services to Jones International that terminate on December 31, 2004. We have the right to terminate the uplinking agreement upon 30-days' written notice. We received approximately $2,029,000 for these services for the year ended December 31, 2000. 88 Beginning July 1, 1998, we also provided additional uplinking, playback, trafficking and related services to Knowledge TV, LLC ("KTV"), a subsidiary of Jones International, in connection with the lease of an additional channel on one of our satellite transponders for a monthly fee of $30,000 plus a proportionate share of expenses. In December 2000, we negotiated with KTV a termination of these agreements and received a one time termination payment of approximately $1,553,000, which was calculated based on the value of the estimated future payments under the agreements, discounted at 11.75% per annum. SATELLITE TRANSPONDER AGREEMENTS We lease to Jones International one compressed channel on one of our satellite transponders. We have the right to terminate the lease at any time upon 30-days' written notice. The monthly payments may be adjusted periodically through the December 2004 expiration date based on the number of affiliate customers using the transponder. We received lease payments of approximately $1,540,000 for the year ended December 31, 2000. Effective July 1, 1998, we also leased one additional channel on the transponder to KTV, at a monthly lease rental of approximately $61,000. In early 1999, KTV sold its subscriber base to a third party and ceased all broadcasting efforts in early 2000. In December 2000, we negotiated with KTV a termination of this agreement and certain other agreements described above and received a one time termination payment in the aggregate amount of approximately $388,000, which was calculated based on the value of the estimated future payments under this agreement, discounted at 11.75% per annum. We subleased from Jones Satellite Holdings, a subsidiary of Jones International, an audio channel on a non-preemptible satellite transponder on the Galaxy V communications satellite for approximately $58,000 per month. Pursuant to our right to terminate this agreement, and concurrent with the ceasing of broadcasting efforts by Superaudio, we terminated the agreement on January 31, 2000. Jones Satellite Holdings charged lease payments of $58,000 for the year ended December 31, 2000. COMPUTER SERVICES A subsidiary of Jones International provides computer hardware and software services and miscellaneous related support services to us and other parties related to Jones International. We paid service fees to this subsidiary of approximately $1,260,000 for the year ended December 31, 2000. OFFICE LEASE AND SUBLEASE 89 We lease and sublease office space in Englewood, Colorado from parties related to Jones International on a month-to-month basis. We paid rent and associated expenses under these leases and subleases of approximately $471,000 for the year ended December 31, 2000. ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES We reimburse Jones International and its related parties for certain administrative services provided by these companies, such as legal, accounting, purchasing and human resources services. Jones International and these related parties charge us for these services based upon an allocation of its personnel expense associated with providing these services. These allocated expenses totaled approximately $813,000 for the year ended December 31, 2000. A subsidiary of Jones International charged us approximately $11,000 for the year ended December 31, 2000, for usage of its corporate airplane. GUARANTY OF CREDIT FACILITY Jones International guaranteed a $20.0 million credit facility in 1999, which was used to finance the acquisition of Jones Broadcast Programming. Both the credit facility and guaranty expired in June 2000. As a result of the guaranty, which was secured, we received more favorable interest and other terms. On September 30, 1999, we used the proceeds from our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock offering to repay all amounts outstanding under this credit facility. 90 PART IV ITEM 14.
