Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 1995 1. Significant Accounting Policies Description of Business The consolidated financial statements of Superior Communications Group, Inc. (SCGI) include the accounts of SCGI and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Superior Communications of Kentucky, Inc. (SCKI) and Superior Communications of Oklahoma, Inc. (SCOI), which are collectively referred to as the Company. All intercompany balances have been eliminated. The Company owns and operates television broadcasting stations in Lexington, Kentucky and Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Organization The Company, previously known as Superior Communications of Kentucky, L.P. (the Partnership), was incorporated in its current form on January 28, 1994 concurrent with the acquisition of SCOI (Note 2). Effective on January 28, 1994, the former partners of the Partnership exchanged all of their partnership interests for shares of preferred and common stock of the newly formed parent company, SCGI, under a Security Purchase and Exchange Agreement (Exchange Agreement) and the Partnership was then dissolved. Additionally, the former corporate general partner of the Partnership was also dissolved and the shareholders of the general partner exchanged certain operating assets with the Company for preferred and common stock. Furthermore, under the Exchange Agreement, SCGI then contributed the operating assets of the former partnership to the newly formed SCKI in exchange for all of the outstanding common stock of SCKI. Operations and Credit Risk The Company's accounts receivable are from the sale of advertising, primarily to businesses which are local to the broadcast area or to national advertising agencies. The Company performs credit evaluations of its customers' financial condition and generally does not require collateral. Receivables are due within 30 days. Credit losses have been within management's expectations. The carrying amount reported in the balance sheet for accounts receivable approximates its fair value. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all demand deposits and short-term investments purchased with a maturity of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents. The carrying amount reported in the balance sheet for cash and cash equivalents approximates its fair value. -7- Superior Communications Group, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) 1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Deferred Film Costs and Film Contract Commitments The Company has contracts with various film distributors from which films are licensed for television transmission over various contract periods (generally one to five years) and for a specified number of broadcasts. Net deferred film costs represent the lower of unamortized cost or estimated net realizable value of the film contracts available for use. Deferred film costs are amortized on the straight-line method over the contract periods. Film contract commitments represent the total obligations due under these contracts, which are generally payable in equal installments over periods that are 12 to 18 months shorter than the lives of the contracts, and do not bear interest. The portion of the deferred film cost to be amortized within one year and after one year is reported in the balance sheet as current and other assets, respectively, and the payments under the film contract commitments due within one year and after one year are similarly classified as current and long-term liabilities, respectively. Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation for financial reporting purposes is based on the straight-line method over estimated useful lives ranging from 5 to 12 years for equipment and 15 years for buildings. Costs of repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. Intangible Assets Intangible assets as reflected in Note 3 are being amortized on a straight-line basis over their useful lives ranging from one to fifteen years. Barter Transactions Revenue from barter transactions (advertising provided in exchange for programming or goods and services) is recognized as income when advertisements are broadcast, and goods or services received are capitalized or charged to operations when received or used. Included in the statements of operations is broadcasting net revenue from barter transactions of $1,940,989 and $1,593,330 during 1995 and 1994, respectively, and station operating costs and expenses from barter transactions of $1,871,077 and $1,632,184, respectively. As of December 31, 1995 and 1994, the Company has recorded accrued liabilities for deferred barter revenue of $86,586 and $149,434, respectively. -8- Superior Communications Group, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) 1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Deferred Income Deferred income relates to prepaid rental income for use of SCKI's tower facility. The amount is being recognized on a straight-line basis through 2001 (term of agreement). Use of Estimates The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Income Taxes Deferred income taxes recorded on the Company's consolidated balance sheets reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Reclassifications Certain amounts in the 1994 financial statements have been reclassified or restated to conform to the current year presentation. 2. Acquisition of Station On January 28, 1994, SBI, a newly formed corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, purchased all of the outstanding stock of Oklahoma City Broadcasting Company (OCBC) for $10,973,241. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase transaction with the purchase price being allocated to the assets and liabilities acquired based upon their fair market values at the date of acquisition. In connection with the transaction, SBI also entered into a noncompete agreement with the seller of OCBC valued at $1,500,000, for which a note payable was issued to the seller (Note 4). The cost of the noncompete agreement is being amortized over the five-year term of the agreement. The acquisition was financed from the issuance of stock for $3,100,000 and from bank debt in the amount of $7,873,241. Concurrent with the acquisition, SBI and OCBC merged, forming SCOI. -9- Superior Communications Group, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) 3.

The outstanding balance on the revolving credit agreement was $1,500,000 at December 31, 1994, and no amounts were outstanding at December 31, 1995. The Credit Agreement provides for interest at the bank's Base Rate (8.5% at December 31, 1995) plus 1.75%, and is secured by the stock of SCGI and its subsidiaries. Covenants contained in the Credit Agreement limit capital expenditures, define required levels of earnings and cash flows and limit additional indebtedness and film contract commitments. The proceeds of these loans were utilized by the Company to finance the acquisition of SCOI, and to repay amounts owed to a former bank under a term note payable of $5,260,589. -10- Superior Communications Group, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) 4. Long-Term Debt (continued) Bank Debt (continued) On February 13, 1995, the Company repurchased 1,021.435 shares of Class B common stock and 2,042.87 shares of preferred stock of the Company for $2,874,500.

The term loan is due in quarterly installments of $290,000 beginning October 1997 through January 2000, plus interest at the bank's Base Rate plus 1.75%. A mandatory prepayment per the terms of the loan agreement was required in 1995 and was applied to this loan. The outstanding balance on this term loan was $2,610,000 at December 31, 1995. Seller Debt In connection with the acquisition of OCBC, the Company also incurred indebtedness to the former owner of OCBC for $1,500,000.

The seller debt bears interest at a rate of 7.5% and is payable in annual installments of $300,000, plus interest, beginning January 28, 1995. The outstanding balance on this note was $1,200,000 at December 31, 1995.

Unless all accumulated dividends on the preferred stock have been paid, no dividend may be paid, and no other distributions may be made upon the common stock of the Company. Upon liquidation of the Company, any proceeds to be distributed are first utilized to pay the preferred stockholders at an amount equal to $1,000 per share (liquidation preference) plus any accrued but unpaid dividends, inception to date ($1,895,761 at December 31, 1995).

PARAMOUNT STATIONS GROUP OF KERVILLE, INC. ------------------------------------------ NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ----------------------------- AUGUST 3, 1995 AND DECEMBER 31, 1994 ------------------------------------ 1. ORGANIZATION: ------------ Paramount Stations Group of Kerville, Inc. (the Company) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Paramount Stations Group Holding Company, Inc. (the Parent). The Company was organized under the laws of Virginia on August 21, 1984. The Company is a television broadcaster serving the San Antonio, Texas area through station KRRT on Channel 35. The Company was affiliated with UPN and FOX during 1995 and 1994, respectively. During 1994, the Company entered into an agreement to sell substantially all of its assets to KRRT, Inc. This sale was consummated on August 4, 1995. Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements for 1995 are presented as of August 3, 1995 (Note 9). 2. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES: ------------------------------ Cash - ---- All cash from customers is deposited directly into a lock box held by the Company's Parent (Note 4). Revenue Recognition - ------------------- Revenue from the sale of air time to advertisers is recognized when the advertisement is broadcast. Program Contract Costs - ---------------------- The Company has entered into agreements with program distributors granting it the right to broadcast programs over contract periods which generally run from three to seven years. Program contract costs are stated at the lower of amortized cost or estimated net realizable value. Broadcast contract costs and the related liabilities are recorded at the contract value when the license period begins and the program is available for use. Program contract costs are amortized using the greater of the straight-line by months over the contract term or straight-line over the number of showings on an aggregate basis. Program contract costs expected to be used in the succeeding year and program contract rights due within one year are classified as current assets and current liabilities, respectively. Property and Equipment - ---------------------- Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the assets on a straight-line basis. Major renewals and betterments are capitalized and ordinary repairs and maintenance are charged to expense in the period incurred. -2- Goodwill - -------- In a series of transactions completed in 1991, the Company's Parent purchased all of the outstanding stock of TVX, Inc., who owned and operated several television stations, including the Company. Goodwill was allocated to each of the stations based on specific identification and allocation of unidentified goodwill based on cash flow multiples used to calculate the purchase price of each station. Management monitors the financial performance of the station and continually evaluates the realizability of goodwill and the existence of any impairment to its recoverability. Goodwill in the amount of $17,370,000 was allocated to the Company and is being amortized over 40 years using the straight-line method. At August 3, 1995 and December 31, 1994, accumulated amortization of goodwill aggregated $2,064,920 and $1,811,613, respectively. Barter Transactions - ------------------- Certain program contract rights provide for the exchange of advertising air time in lieu of cash payments for the programming. As the program is aired, equal amounts of revenue and program amortization expense are recorded, at estimated fair market value, in results of operations. In addition, the Company provides advertising air time to certain customers in exchange for merchandise or services. The estimated fair value of the merchandise or services to be received is recorded as an asset, and the corresponding obligation to broadcast advertising is recorded as deferred revenue. Services and other assets are charged to expense as they are used or consumed. Deferred revenue is recognized in operations as the related advertising is broadcast. 3. INCOME TAXES: ------------- In February 1992, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." The Company adopted the new accounting and disclosure rules effective December 31, 1994. The provision for income taxes consists of the following: August 3, December 31, 1995 1994 -------------- -------------- Federal $ 920,164 $ 1,318,150 State 155,675 223,065 -------------- -------------- $ 1,075,839 $ 1,541,215 ============= ============= -3- The following is a reconciliation of the statutory federal income taxes to the recorded provision: August 3, December 31, 1995 1994 ------------ ------------- Statutory federal income taxes $ 882,156 $ 1,243,397 Adjustments: State tax, net of federal effect 102,745 147,223 Goodwill amortization 86,125 145,008 Others 4,813 5,587 ------------- ------------- Provision for income taxes $ 1,075,839 $ 1,541,215 ============ ============ The Company's Parent files a consolidated federal tax return, and separate state tax returns for each of its subsidiaries. It is the Parent's policy not to allocate income tax expense to its subsidiaries. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the separate return method of FASB 109, whereby the allocation of tax expense is based on what the subsidiary's current and deferred tax expense would have been had the subsidiary filed a federal income tax return outside its consolidated group. The difference between the computed tax expense and the amounts paid to the Parent for taxes is recorded as additional paid-in-capital. Under this method, the Company has no deferred tax assets or liabilities because those amounts are considered paid to or received from the Parent. The Company had no alternative minimum tax credit carryforwards as of August 3, 1995. The temporary differences between book basis and tax basis generated by the Company and recorded on the Parent's financial statements are as follows: August 3, December 31, 1995 1994 -------------- -------------- Program contract net realizable value adjustments $ 159,819 $ 12,428 Depreciation and amortization (33,318) 5,550 Bad debt reserves 16,362 24,047 -------------- -------------- $ 142,863 $ 42,025 ============= ============= 4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS: -------------------------- The Parent pays the income taxes of the Company. It is the Parent's policy not to charge this expense to its subsidiaries. Therefore, the provision for income tax expense is recorded as additional paid-in capital in the accompanying balance sheets. The Parent also provides and receives short-term cash advances to and from the Company through a central cash management system. No interest is charged or received for these advances. -4- 5. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT: ---------------------- Property and equipment consists of the following: Estimated Useful Life August 3, December 31, (Years) 1995 1994 ------------- ---------------- ---------- Studio equipment 5 $ 2,931,607 $ 2,898,183 Leasehold improvements 4-11 358,472 358,472 Furniture and fixtures 5 59,671 59,671 Autos and trucks 5 32,700 32,700 -------------- -------------- 3,382,450 3,349,026 Less- Accumulated depreciation 2,556,483 2,362,146 -------------- -------------- $ 825,967 $ 986,880 6.

Future payments, by year, for program contract rights payable as of August 3, 1995, are as follows: 1995 $ 580,830 1996 941,200 1997 459,900 1998 97,300 1999 30,500 Thereafter 25,600 ------------- $ 2,135,330 ============= The fair value of program contracts payable is the present value of the future obligations based on the current rates available to the Company for debt of similar maturity. The carrying amount and the fair value of program contracts payable at August 3, 1995, were $2,135,300 and $1,521,665, respectively. -5- 7. RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN: ----------------------- The Company participates in the Parent company's retirement savings plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. This plan covers substantially all employees of the Company who meet minimum age or service requirements and allows participants to defer a portion of their annual compensation on a pre-tax basis. Contributions from the Company are made on a monthly basis in an amount equal to 50% of the participating employee contributions, to the extent such contributions do not exceed 6% of the employees' eligible compensation during the month. 8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES: ----------------------------- Broadcast rights acquired under license agreements are recorded as an asset and a corresponding liability at the inception of the license period. In addition to these rights payable at August 3, 1995, the Company had $1,060,900 of commitments to acquire broadcast rights for which the license period has not commenced and, accordingly, for which no liability has been recorded. Future payments arising from such commitments outstanding at August 3, 1995, are as follows: 1995 $ 29,400 1996 140,600 1997 214,200 1998 319,500 1999 273,200 Thereafter 84,000 ------------- $ 1,060,900 ============= The Company has entered into operating leases for building space and equipment.

Rental expense was $36,425 and $61,341 for the period from January 1, 1995 through August 3, 1995 and the year ended December 31, 1994, respectively. As of August 3, 1995, future minimum payments under these contracts are as follows: 1995 $ 25,565 1996 61,248 1997 59,858 ------------- $ 146,671 ============= -6- Litigation - ---------- Lawsuits and claims are filed against the Company from time to time in the ordinary course of business. These actions are in various preliminary stages, and no judgments or decisions have been rendered by hearing boards or courts. Management, after reviewing developments to date with legal counsel, is of the opinion that the outcome of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Companies' financial position, results of operations or cash flows. 9. SALES AGREEMENT: ---------------- During 1994, the Company entered into an agreement with KRRT, Inc., to sell virtually all tangible and intangible assets of the Company for $30,000,000.

KRRT, INC. ---------- NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ----------------------------- DECEMBER 31, 1995 ----------------- 1. ORGANIZATION KRRT, Inc., a Texas corporation (the Company) was organized and incorporated on July 25, 1995 and on August 4, 1995, purchased the license and non-license assets of Paramount Stations Group of Kerville, Inc., the owner and operator of television KRRT-TV, San Antonio, Texas. The Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of JJK Broadcasting, Inc. (the "Parent"). The Company simultaneously entered into a local marketing agreement (LMA) with River City Broadcasting LP (River City) (Note 2). The Company is a television broadcaster serving the San Antonio area through station KRRT on Channel 35, a UPN affiliate. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Revenue Recognition - ------------------- The Company's primary source of revenue is monthly fees received in accordance with the LMA with River City. Under the terms of this agreement, the Company receives monthly fees and is reimbursed for all operating expenses, scheduled principal and interest payments on the long-term debt discussed in Note 8 and scheduled program rights payments in exchange for the right to provide programming and general advertising receivables. Revenue is recorded as payments are scheduled to be received. Short-Term Investments - ---------------------- Short-term investments represent repurchase agreements which mature within three months. This investment is stated at cost plus accrued income which approximates market value. Property and Equipment - ---------------------- Property and equipment are stated at cost. The Company depreciates and amortizes property and equipment over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally using the straight-line method over six to forty years. Intangible Assets - ----------------- Intangible assets include value attributable to licenses issued by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and goodwill representing the excess of the cost over the fair market value of the assets purchased and the liabilities assumed. These assets are amortized using the straight-line method over twenty-five years and forty years, respectively. The Company monitors the financial performance and continually evaluates the realizability of goodwill and the existence of any impairment to its recoverability based on the projected future cash flows. -2- Program Contract Rights - ----------------------- The station has entered into agreements with program distributors granting it the right to broadcast programs over contract periods which generally run from one to seven years. An asset and liability are booked equal to the liability assumed on the purchase date. The asset is recorded at its net realizable value based on expected future revenues. Accordingly, given that the Company's future revenues are based on program payments (Note 2), amortization is recorded in amounts equal to program payments as they are scheduled to be made. Use of Estimates - ---------------- The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue, expenses, gains and losses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates. 3.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The Company has entered into operating leases for building space and equipment. Rental expense was $76,913 for the period from July 25, 1995 through December 31, 1995. As of December 31, 1995, future minimum lease payments under these operating leases were as follows: 1996 $ 133,864 1997 61,478 1998 45,000 1999 45,000 2000 45,000 Thereafter 482,250 -------------- $ 812,592 ============== The Company has also entered into several contracts for data processing equipment and service. Rental expense was $240,030 for the period from July 25, 1995 through December 31, 1995. As of December 31, 1995, future minimum payments under these contracts are as follows: 1996 $ 592,443 1997 581,929 -------------- $ 1,174,372 ============= Litigation - ---------- Lawsuits and claims are filed against the Company from time to time in the ordinary course of business. These actions are in various preliminary stages, and no judgments or decisions have been rendered by hearing boards or courts. Management, after reviewing developments to date with legal counsel, is of the opinion that the outcome of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or net cash flows. 7. INCOME TAXES In February 1992, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." -4- The following is a reconciliation of the statutory federal income taxes to the recorded provision: December 31, 1995 ------------- Statutory federal income taxes $ (409,278) Adjustments: State income taxes, net of federal effect (40,706) Valuation allowance 449,984 ------------- (Benefit) for income taxes $ - ============= Temporary differences between the financial reporting carrying amounts and tax basis of assets and liabilities give rise to deferred taxes. The principal sources of temporary differences and their effects on the provision for deferred income taxes are as follows: December 31, 1995 ------------- Depreciation and amortization $ 126,154 Valuation allowance (126,154) -------------- Deferred income tax provision $ - ============= Total deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities as of December 31, 1995, and the sources of the difference between financial accounting and tax bases of the Company's assets and liabilities which give rise to the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities and the tax effects of each are as follows: December 31, 1995 ------------- Deferred tax assets: Depreciation and amortization $ 126,154 Valuation allowance (126,154) -------------- $ - ============= During the year ended December 31, 1995, the Company recorded a full valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets to reduce the total to an amount that management believes will ultimately be realized. Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon sufficient future total income during the period that temporary differences and carryforwards are expected to be available to reduce taxable income. 8. LONG-TERM DEBT In connection with the acquisition of the Station, KRRT, Inc. entered into a Bank Credit Agreement with a principal of $21,000,000 and interest at LIBOR plus 2.5%. Payments are scheduled to begin -5- on January 31, 1996. The debt is secured by all the assets of KRRT, Inc., including their rights under the LMA agreement and the assets of their Parent. Annual maturities of long-term debt as of December 31, 1995, are as follows: 1996 $ 2,000,000 1997 4,000,000 1998 5,000,000 1999 5,800,000 2000 4,200,000 ------------- $ 21,000,000 ============= The carrying amount the Company's long-term debt approximates Fair value. The Fair value was determined by reference to quoted values obtained from the lender. 9. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS The Company's Parent receives a management fee equal to the portion of the LMA fees designated as management fees for management services provided. During the period from July 25, 1995 through December 31, 1995, the Company paid $277,775 to their Parent. During 1995, the Parent contributed $10,001,000 to the Company to partially finance the acquisition of the Station from Paramount Stations Group of Kerville, Inc. (Note 4). In connection with the financing of the acquisition, the Parent contributed $500,000 to satisfy a covenant with the Bank of Montreal. This $500,000 is recorded as a long-term note payable. 10.

The carrying amount and fair value of program rights, payable at December 31, 1995, were 2,320,965 and 1,653,975 respectively. 11. SUBSEQUENT EVENT In April 1996, Sinclair Broadcast Group, Inc. (SBG) entered into an asset purchase agreement with the Company whereby the Company has agreed to sell the non-license assets for approximately $29.6 million. The Company estimates the transaction will be consummated in May 1996. -7- RIVER CITY BROADCASTING (RIVER CITY BROADCASTING, L.P. AND ITS MAJORITY-OWNED BUSINESSES) Consolidated Financial Statements and Schedules December 31, 1994 and 1995 (With Independent Auditors' Report Thereon) Independent Auditors' Report ---------------------------- The Partners River City Broadcasting, L.P.: We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of River City Broadcasting, L.P. and its majority-owned businesses as of December 31, 1994 and 1995, and the related consolidated statements of operations, partners' capital (deficit), and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1995. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of River City Broadcasting, L.P. and its majority-owned businesses as of December 31, 1994 and 1995, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the consolidated financial statements taken as a whole. The consolidating information included in Schedules 1 and 2 is presented for purposes of additional analysis of the consolidated financial statements rather than to present the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of the individual broadcast properties. The consolidating information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the consolidated financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.

RIVER CITY BROADCASTING Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 1994 and 1995 (1) Business Description -------------------- River City Broadcasting, L.P. (River City Broadcasting or the Partnership) is a limited partnership formed to purchase and operate broadcast properties and related activities. River City Broadcasting has acquired nine broadcast television stations and 24 radio stations. The Partnership also operates one television station and three radio stations under local marketing agreements (LMAs). River City Broadcasting is managed by its general partner subject to terms and conditions specified in the Second Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership (Limited Partnership Agreement). On September 3, 1993, River City Broadcasting entered into a Reorganization Agreement, whereby additional equity funding was injected into the Partnership, and certain partners' interests were redeemed (the Recapitalization). (2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies ------------------------------------------ Principles of Consolidation ---------------------------- The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of River City Broadcasting and its majority-owned businesses. Management's Use of Estimates ----------------------------- The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Program Rights -------------- Program rights and related liabilities are recorded at cost when the film is available for broadcasting. Agreements define the lives of the rights and frequently the number of showings. The cost of program rights is charged against earnings using straight-line and accelerated methods. Program rights, representing the cost of those rights available for broadcasting and expected to be broadcast in the succeeding fiscal year, are shown as a current asset. Program rights payable are classified as current based on those payments of the various contracts contractually due within the succeeding fiscal year. Program rights are stated at the lower of cost or estimated net realizable value. (Continued) 2 RIVER CITY BROADCASTING Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Property and Equipment ---------------------- Property and equipment is recorded at cost. Maintenance and repairs are charged against earnings, while improvements which extend useful lives are capitalized. Depreciation expense is computed using primarily the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Intangible Assets ----------------- Intangible assets consist principally of network affiliation agreements, broadcasting licenses, covenants not to compete, deferred financing costs, and going-concern values. Amortization expense is computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated lives of the assets, which generally range from 5-20 years. The Partnership assesses the recoverability of these intangible assets by determining whether the amortization of the remaining balances over their remaining lives can be recovered through projected undiscounted future results. The amount of impairment, if any, is measured based on projected discounted future results using a discount rate reflecting the Company's average cost of funds. The methodology that management used to project results of operations forward was based on the historical trend line of actual results. Interest Rate Risk Management ----------------------------- The Partnership uses a combination of financial instruments as part of its program to manage interest rate risk on its floating rate debt. Such investments are considered hedges and, accordingly, changes in their market value, representing the cost to close the Partnership's position in these financial instruments, are not reflected in the consolidated financial statements (see note 7). Deferred Compensation --------------------- River City Broadcasting has entered into deferred compensation agreements with members of management at certain of the broadcast properties. Deferred compensation expense is recorded over the period of employee service based on terms as contained in the respective agreements. In addition to the deferred compensation agreements described above, the Partnership has granted Phantom Warrant Units to certain key members of management. These Phantom Warrant Units were granted pursuant to a Phantom Unit Plan (the Plan). Under Plan provisions, the Phantom Warrant Unit holders will receive performance compensation based on the appreciation in value of the Partnership. This compensation is recognized as incurred based on a six-year vesting period. Warrant Units ------------- Concurrently with the Recapitalization, warrant units were issued to two key members of management, who are also the sole shareholders of the general partner of River City Broadcasting. These warrant units provide for, among other things as described in the Limited Partnership Agreement, participation in Partnership profits and losses and equity appreciation on a basis substantially similar to a 10% partnership interest. (Continued) 3 RIVER CITY BROADCASTING Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Income Taxes and Distributions for Taxes ---------------------------------------- No income tax provision has been included in the consolidated financial statements since profit and loss in the Partnership and the related tax attributes are deemed to be distributed to, and to be reportable by, the partners of the Partnership on their respective income tax returns. Accordingly, based on the tax attributes to be passed through to the partners, the Partnership records a distribution payable calculated pursuant to the Limited Partnership Agreement for amounts expected to be distributed to the partners for their estimated tax liability. Limited Partnership Agreement ----------------------------- The allocation of Partnership profits and losses, cash distributions, voting rights, certain equity preference and appreciation rights, and other matters are defined in the Limited Partnership Agreement. These items, except voting rights, are principally determined based on the tax basis of the respective partners. Revenues -------- Broadcasting revenues are derived principally from the sale of program time and spot announcements to local, regional, and national advertisers. Advertising revenue is recognized in the period during which the program time and spot announcements are broadcast. Barter Transaction ------------------ Barter transactions are recorded at the estimated fair values of the products and services received. Barter revenues are recognized when commercials are broadcast. The assets or services received in exchange for broadcast time are recorded when received or used. Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows ------------------------------------- For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Partnership considers all cash investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Reclassification ---------------- Certain 1993 and 1994 balances have been reclassified to conform with the 1995 presentation. (3) Acquisition of Broadcast Properties ----------------------------------- In September 1994, the Partnership acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Continental Broadcasting Ltd. (Continental) for total cash consideration of approximately $175,397,000. In connection with the acquisition, River City Broadcasting assumed $120,000,000 of senior subordinated notes and related accrued interest. Broadcast properties acquired include WSYX-TV (Columbus, Ohio), KOVR-TV (Sacramento, California), and WLOS-TV/WFBC-TV (formerly WAXA-TV) (Asheville, North Carolina, and Anderson, South Carolina). (Continued) 4 RIVER CITY BROADCASTING Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements This acquisition is a purchase transaction and, accordingly, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed have been recorded at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date, as determined by independent appraisal. The allocation of the purchase price is summarized as follows: Intangible assets $ 221,995,342 Property and equipment 62,285,634 Accounts receivable 13,313,252 Program rights 10,471,346 Prepaid and other current assets 164,898 Program rights payable (7,752,322) Accounts payable and accrued expenses (2,672,495) ---------- Total purchase price 297,805,655 Assumption of debt, plus related accrued interest (122,408,334) ------------- $ 175,397,321 ============= In July 1995, the Partnership acquired certain assets of Keymarket Communication and affiliated companies (Keymarket), as defined in the underlying Asset Purchase Agreement, for total cash consideration of approximately $131,000,000 and $10,000,000 of limited partner units. Broadcast properties acquired consist of 19 radio stations within the Los Angeles, California, Nashville, Tennessee, New Orleans, Louisiana, Memphis, Tennessee, Buffalo, New York and Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, Pennsylvania markets. Additionally, the Partnership acquired the rights to operate three radio stations under LMAs. In October 1995, the Partnership acquired a 60% interest in Twin Peaks Radio (Twin Peaks) through its acquisition of Sandia Peak Broadcasters, Inc. As discussed in note 17, the Partnership acquired the remaining 40% interest in Twin Peaks in January 1996. Twin Peaks is a partnership which owns and operates three radio stations in the Albuquerque, New Mexico area. Total cash consideration paid in 1995 amounted to approximately $3,200,000. In November 1995, the Partnership acquired certain assets of WVRV-FM in St. Louis, Missouri, for cash consideration of approximately $3,600,000. River City Broadcasting previously operated this station under an LMA.

Interest is payable semiannually on January 1 and July 1 of each year. Pursuant to terms of the underlying indenture, subsequent to their assumption, River City Broadcasting offered to redeem the underlying notes from the holders at 101% of the principal amount thereof. In connection with this offer, $118,450,000 of the outstanding notes were redeemed in 1994. A put premium of $1,184,500 was charged to expense in 1994. The balance of the senior subordinated notes was redeemed in 1995. Concurrent with the acquisition of the Continental broadcast properties in 1994, the Partnership entered into a Senior Credit Facility providing a $120,000,000 term loan commitment and a revolving loan commitment of $230,000,000. In December 1994, the Partnership exercised the $120,000,000 term loan commitment in connection with the redemption of the senior subordinated notes described above. In April 1995 the Partnership amended the Senior Credit Facility (Amended Senior Credit Facility). The Amended Senior Credit Facility provided for an additional term loan commitment of $110,000,000. In July 1995, the Partnership exercised the $110,000,000 term loan commitment in connection with the Keymarket acquisition. (Continued) 7 RIVER CITY BROADCASTING Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements At December 31, 1995 the Partnership had outstanding borrowings of $213,000,000 under the revolving loan commitment. The revolving loan commitment of $230,000,000 is reduced as follows: $9,200,000 each quarter beginning December 31, 1995 through December 31, 1999; $10,750,000 each quarter through December 31, 2000; and $15,300,000 each quarter through June 30, 2001. The term loan is payable in increasing quarterly installments through December 2002. Accelerated principal payments are required upon the Partnership meeting certain financial objectives or upon the occurrence of certain other events as defined in the Amended Senior Credit Facility. Borrowings are secured by substantially all of the Partnership's assets and by a lien on all limited partner interests. The Amended Senior Credit Facility includes certain covenants which, among other things, require the Partnership to meet certain financial performance goals and maintain certain financial ratios, limit capital expenditures, and limit the incurrence of additional indebtedness. Under terms of the Amended Senior Credit Facility, the Partnership has the option to elect from various interest rate options. The Amended Senior Credit Facility also includes a provision whereby the interest rate is adjusted each quarter based on River City Broadcasting's financial performance. Substantially all amounts borrowed under the Amended Senior Credit Facility accrue interest based on the LIBOR rate. At December 31, 1995, the Company's effective borrowing rate under this agreement, including the effect of interest rate risk management activities, was 8.7%. The Amended Senior Credit Facility requires the Partnership to pay unused commitment fees (term and revolver) at 3/8 of 1%, payable quarterly. Theaggregate maturities of long-term debt reflect scheduled principal payments due under the term loan commitment and the required principal reductions on the revolving loan commitment and are as follows: Year ending December 31: 1996 $ 38,587,000 1997 46,387,000 1998 51,175,000 1999 55,963,000 2000 73,663,000 Thereafter 177,225,000 ----------- $ 443,000,000 =========== (7) Interest Rate Risk Management ----------------------------- The Partnership uses a combination of financial instruments, including interest rate swaps, interest rate caps, interest rate collars, and forward rate agreements, as part of its program to manage the floating interest rate risk of its debt portfolio and related overall cost of borrowing. These financial instruments, which are for nontrading purposes, allow the Partnership to maintain a target range of fixed rate debt. The Amended Senior Credit Facility requires the Partnership to hedge 50% of its floating rate risk through December 1997. Interest rate swaps involve the exchange of floating rate for fixed rate interest payments to effectively convert floating rate debt to fixed rate debt. The interest rate swap agreement is for a term of approximately three years and matures December 1997. (Continued) 8 RIVER CITY BROADCASTING Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements The Partnership purchased interest rate caps to convert floating rate debt to a fixed rate if such rates rise above 9.5%. The cost of the interest rate caps totaled approximately $613,000 and is being amortized over the term of the agreements, generally three years. The unamortized balance is approximately $408,000 at December 31, 1995. Interest rate cap agreements mature in December 1997 and January 1998. Interest rate collars involve the conversion of floating rate debt to a fixed rate if such rates exceed 9.5% or fall below a specified floor rate (generally 4.0%-4.2%). Such agreements mature in December 1997. Forward rate agreements are short-term contracts (generally 3-6 months) which allow the Partnership to lock in its effective LIBOR rates over short-term periods. Such agreements mature January 1996 through April 1996. The following financial instruments were held at December 31, 1995: Notional Fair amounts value -------- ----- Interest rate swap $ 50,000,000 $(2,103,000) Interest rate caps 105,000,000 12,000 Interest rate collars 70,000,000 (91,000) Forward rate agreements 411,000,000 (304,000) =========== ========= Estimated fair values shown above only represent the value of the hedge or swap component of these transactions, and thus are not indicative of the Partnership's overall hedged position. As fully hedged transactions, the estimated fair values of the interest rate financial instruments do not affect income and are not recorded in the consolidated financial statements, but rather only represent the amount which would be required to close the Partnership's position in the financial instruments at December 31, 1995. (8) Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments ----------------------------------------------------- Cash and Cash Equivalents, Receivables, and Payables - The carrying amount approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. Long-Term Investment - The Partnership holds a 16% interest in a partnership for which there are no quoted market prices. A reasonable estimate of fair value could not be made. The investment is carried at its cost of $1,654,000 in the consolidated balance sheet. Long-Term Debt - The fair value of the Partnership's debt is estimated based on the current rates offered to the Partnership for debt of the same remaining maturities. The carrying amount approximates fair value because of the variable interest rate attached to the debt. (Continued) 9 RIVER CITY BROADCASTING Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Program Rights Payable - The fair value of film contracts payable is the present value of the future obligations based on the current rates available to the Partnership for debt of similar maturity. The carrying amount and fair value of program rights payable at December 31, 1995 were $56,223,000 and $48,494,000, respectively. (9) Local Marketing Agreement In August 1995 the Partnership entered into a five-year LMA with KRRT, Inc. (Licensee). In a related transaction, the Partnership loaned $10,000,000 to the Licensee. The related note bears interest at 8%. Pursuant to the LMA, KRRT-TV of Kerrville, Texas (the brokered station) will air programming provided by River City Broadcasting in exchange for specified compensation. Such compensation is principally based on certain station operating costs of the brokered station, including debt service. River City Broadcasting will retain all advertising revenues derived from programming for which it has provided. The LMA is cancellable by the Licensee or River City Broadcasting. (10) Equity Debentures In connection with the purchase of KDSM-TV and the first amendment of the Limited Partnership Agreement, River City Broadcasting issued two debentures totaling $2,500,000. These debentures were issued in consideration of, among other things, consent granted by a certain partner allowing River City Broadcasting to complete certain transactions as contained in the respective debenture agreements. Amounts due under the debenture agreements were to be satisfied through equity distributions made in accordance with terms of the Limited Partnership Agreement. Accordingly, for financial reporting purposes, the debentures were treated as equity preference items and the related principal and accrued interest were not reflected (as liabilities or as equity) in the consolidated financial statements of River City Broadcasting. Concurrent with the Recapitalization, these debentures were satisfied through an equity distribution to the partner. (11) Supplemental Cash Flow and Other Financial Information Cash paid for interest totaled approximately $6,106,000, $11,523,000, and $29,249,000 for the years ended December 31, 1993, 1994, and 1995, respectively. River City Broadcasting purchased program rights, on an installment basis, amounting to approximately $16,285,000, $15,749,000, and $38,401,000 in 1993, 1994, and 1995, respectively. Amounts reflected as retirements of program rights payable represent amounts actually paid to vendors under various program rights agreements. In connection with the Keymarket acquisition, the Partnership granted $10,000,000 of limited partner units to the Keymarket seller. Cash overdrafts amounting to approximately $3,959,000 were included in accounts payable at December 31, 1995. Based on certain events, including network affiliation changes at certain broadcast properties, management performed a review of program rights to determine projected usage and revenue streams. Based on this review, the Partnership wrote off certain programming and recognized a charge of approximately $7,100,000 to operations for the year ended December 31, 1995. Pursuant to the deferred compensation agreements and Phantom Warrant Units described in note 2, the Partnership recognized approximately $1,161,000, $3,236,000, and $1,143,000 of deferred compensation expense in 1993, 1994, and 1995, respectively. At December 31, 1994, the Partnership recorded a distribution payable of $2,274,613 in anticipation of income taxes due by the partners as described in note 2. In accordance with the Limited Partnership Agreement this distribution was paid in 1995. In 1993, River City Broadcasting retired a $1,000,000 subordinated debenture for $8,191,527. This amount includes accrued interest of $350,443 of which $101,327 (Continued) 10 RIVER CITY BROADCASTING Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements represents 1993 interest expense. The debenture contained a contingent interest provision, determined based on certain equity like features, which was triggered concurrent with the Recapitalization. Retirement of this debenture was effected through its conversion to a limited partnership interest and a charge to interest expense of $7,191,527 (see note 16). (12) Extraordinary Items ------------------- Concurrently with the Recapitalization in 1993, the Partnership redeemed, through conversion to equity, the $1,000,000 1989 subordinated debenture for $8,191,527, including accrued interest of $350,443. This redemption was treated as an early extinguishment of debt for financial reporting purposes. As described in note 7, the Partnership redeemed $118,450,000 of the outstanding Continental notes with a put premium of $1,184,500. Additionally, in connection with the extinguishment of its prior Amended Senior Credit Facility, the Partnership expensed approximately $2,164,000 of related deferred financing fees. These items were treated as an early extinguishment of debt for financial reporting purposes. (13) Related Party Transactions -------------------------- Prior to the Recapitalization, the general partner received a management fee from each station primarily based on the individual station's revenues. Subsequent to the Recapitalization, the general partner no longer received management fees. Pursuant to the Recapitalization, corporate expenses are allocated to each station to cover the salaries and expenses of senior management. Such allocation is based upon certain financial information and management's estimate of actual time spent. Management believes the allocation is reasonable and approximates what the expenses would have been on a stand-alone basis. In 1993, management fees totaling approximately $1,220,000 were paid to a general partner whose interest was redeemed concurrent with the Recapitalization. Beginning in 1994, costs associated with certain members of senior management were allocated to corporate expenses. Previously, these costs were included in station operating expenses. Total management fees and expenses, including corporate expenses, for the years ended December 31, 1993, 1994, and 1995 amounted to approximately $1,873,000, $2,498,000 and $4,482,000, respectively. (Continued) 11 RIVER CITY BROADCASTING Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (14) Employee Benefits ----------------- River City Broadcasting maintains a qualified profit-sharing plan with a trustee, which includes a thrift provision qualifying under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code, covering substantially all employees. The provision allows the participants to contribute up to 12% of their compensation in the plan year, subject to statutory limitations. River City Broadcasting contributed approximately $121,000, $215,000, and $388,000 for the years ended December 31, 1993, 1994, and 1995, respectively, to the Plan. In 1994, River City Broadcasting began contributing to a multi-employer plan on behalf of certain union employees. Contributions to the plan totaled approximately $20,000 and $31,000 for the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1995, respectively. (15) Commitments and Contingencies ----------------------------- In conjunction with River City Broadcasting's commitment to obtain new programming, the Partnership has purchased approximately $34,579,000 of future program rights, including $14,089,000 of sports rights, of which approximately $4,047,000 will become payable in 1996. These rights are generally for a period ranging from one to four years. Program rights and related obligations in the accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include these future commitments. The Partnership loaned approximately $6,200,000 to Keymarket of South Carolina (KSC), a Company owned by a member of Keymarket management. The loan bears interest at the applicable federal rate, is secured by all of the assets of KSC, and is payable upon demand by the Partnership. KSC owns three radio stations and operates two additional radio stations under an LMA. River City Broadcasting holds an option to acquire KSC for consideration totaling the amount of the loans outstanding, including accrued interest, plus $1,000,000. The Partnership has capitalized approximately $1,400,000 of fees associated with a bond offering filed with the SEC in 1995. In the event the offering is aborted, the Partnership will recognize a charge to operations of $1,400,000. If the offering is consummated, these fees will be amortized over the life of the bonds. River City Broadcasting is involved in certain litigation matters arising in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, these matters are not significant and will not have a material adverse effect on the Partnership's financial position.
