NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

(1) Interim Financial Statements

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of Beasley Broadcast Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented and all such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. The Company’s results are subject to seasonal fluctuations therefore the results shown on an interim basis are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.

(2) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2015, the FASB issued guidance to simplify presentation of debt issuance costs. The guidance requires debt issuance related to a recognized debt liability to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability. The new guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. Upon adoption of the guidance, the Company will present loan fees as a deduction from long-term debt in the balance sheet. Loan fees totaled $1.4 million as of June 30, 2015.

In May 2014, the FASB issued guidance to clarify the principles for recognizing revenue. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance provides a comprehensive framework for revenue recognition that supersedes current general revenue guidance and most industry-specific guidance. In addition, the guidance requires improved disclosures to help users of financial statements better understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue that is recognized. An entity should apply the guidance either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative adjustment at the date of the initial application. In July 2015, the FASB delayed the effective date of the new guidance to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is now permitted after the original effective date of December 15, 2016. The Company has not determined the impact of adoption on its financial statements.

In April 2014, the FASB issued guidance that changes the requirements for reporting discontinued operations. A disposal of a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity is required to be reported in discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results when any of the following occurs:

The component of an entity or group of components of an entity meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale.

The component of an entity or group of components of an entity is disposed of by sale.

The component of an entity or group of components of an entity is disposed of other than by sale.

The guidance also requires additional disclosures about discontinued operations. The new guidance is effective for all disposals (or classifications as held for sale) of components of an entity that occur within annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted, but only for disposals (or classifications as held for sale) that have not been reported in financial statements previously issued or available for issuance. The Company early adopted the new guidance in the third quarter of 2014. See Note 3 for discontinued operations reported under the new guidance.

(3) Asset Exchange

On December 1, 2014, the Company completed an asset exchange with CBS Radio Stations, Inc. (“CBS Radio”) under which the Company agreed to exchange all of the assets used or useful in the operations of WRDW-FM and WXTU-FM in Philadelphia, PA and WKIS-FM, WPOW-FM and WQAM-AM in Miami, FL previously owned and operated by the Company for all of the assets used or useful in the operations of WIP-AM in Philadelphia, PA, WHFS-AM, WHFS-FM, WLLD-FM, WQYK-FM, WRBQ-FM and WYUU-FM in Tampa, FL and WBAV-FM, WBCN-AM, WFNZ-AM, WKQC-FM, WNKS-FM, WPEG-FM and WSOC-FM in Charlotte, NC previously owned and operated by CBS Radio. The asset exchange substantially broadened and diversified the Company’s local radio broadcasting platform and revenue base with fourteen new stations that are geographically complementary to the Company’s ongoing operations, while also presenting financial and operating synergies with the Company’s ongoing station portfolio and digital operations.

BEASLEY BROADCAST GROUP, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

The following pro forma information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 assumes that the asset exchange had occurred on January 1, 2014. This pro forma information has been prepared based on estimates and assumptions, which management believes are reasonable, and is not necessarily indicative of what would have occurred had the asset exchange actually been completed on January 1, 2014 or of results that may occur in the future.

Discontinued Operations

After completion of the asset exchange, the Company has significantly decreased operations in the Philadelphia, PA radio market and no longer has any operations in the Miami-Fort Lauderdale, FL radio market. Therefore, the results of operations of WRDW-FM, WXTU-FM, WKIS-FM, WPOW-FM and WQAM-AM have been reported as discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014.

A summary of discontinued operations is as follows:

Balance as of December 31, 2014	$	234,328,330
Translator licenses		391,175

Balance as of June 30, 2015	$	234,719,505

On June 25, 2015, the Company completed the acquisition of two FM translator licenses from the University of Northwestern for $0.2 million. These translator licenses allow the Company to rebroadcast the programming of one of its radio stations in Tampa, FL and one of its radio stations in Fort Myers, FL on the FM band over an expanded area of coverage.

On February 27, 2015, the Company completed the acquisition of one FM translator license from Reach Communications, Inc. for $0.2 million. This translator license allows the Company to rebroadcast the programming of one of its radio stations in Boca Raton, FL on the FM band over an expanded area of coverage.

Translator licenses are generally granted for renewable terms of eight years and are tested for impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired.

(5) Long-Term Debt

Long-term debt is comprised of the following:


	December 31,			June 30,
	2014			2015
Term loan	$	97,693,750		$	93,193,750
Revolving credit facility		—			—

Less current installments		(3,112,500	)		(1,168,750	)

	$	94,581,250		$	92,025,000

As of December 31, 2014, the credit facility consisted of a term loan with a remaining balance of $97.7 million and a revolving credit facility with a maximum commitment of $20.0 million. The credit facility carried interest, based on adjusted LIBOR, at 3.4% as of December 31, 2014.

As of June 30, 2015, the credit facility consisted of a term loan with a remaining balance of $93.2 million and a revolving credit facility with a maximum commitment of $20.0 million. As of June 30, 2015, the Company had $14.8 million in available commitments under its revolving credit facility. At the Company’s election, the credit facility may bear interest at either (i) adjusted LIBOR, as defined in the credit agreement, plus a margin ranging from 2.75% to 4.75% that is determined by the Company’s consolidated total debt ratio, as defined in the credit agreement or (ii) the base rate, as defined in the credit agreement, plus a margin ranging from 1.75% to 3.75% that is determined by the Company’s consolidated total debt ratio. Interest on adjusted LIBOR loans is payable at the end of each applicable interest period and, for those interest periods with a duration in excess of three months, the three month anniversary of the beginning of such interest period. Interest on base rate loans is payable quarterly in arrears. The credit facility carried interest, based on adjusted LIBOR, at 3.4% as of June 30, 2015 and matures on August 9, 2019.

The credit agreement requires mandatory prepayments equal to 50% of consolidated excess cash flow, as defined in the credit agreement, when the Company’s consolidated total debt is equal to or greater than three times its consolidated operating cash flow, as defined in the credit agreement. Prepayments of excess cash flow are not required when the Company’s consolidated total debt is less than three times its consolidated operating cash flow. Mandatory prepayments of consolidated excess cash flow are due 120 days after year end. The credit agreement also requires mandatory prepayments for defined amounts from net proceeds of asset sales, net insurance proceeds, and net proceeds of debt issuances.

Interest Coverage Ratio. The Company’s consolidated operating cash flow for the four quarters ending on the last day of each fiscal quarter through maturity must not be less than 2.0 times its consolidated cash interest expense for the four quarters then ended.

The credit facility is secured by a first-priority lien on substantially all of the Company’s assets and the assets of substantially all of its subsidiaries and is guaranteed jointly and severally by the Company and substantially all of its subsidiaries. The guarantees were issued to the Company’s lenders for repayment of the outstanding balance of the credit facility. If the Company defaults under the terms of the credit agreement, the Company and its applicable subsidiaries may be required to perform under their guarantees. As of June 30, 2015, the maximum amount of undiscounted payments the Company and its applicable subsidiaries would have been required to make in the event of default was $93.2 million. The guarantees for the credit facility expire on August 9, 2019.

The aggregate scheduled principal repayments of the credit facility for the remainder of 2015 and the next four years are as follows:


2015	$	—
2016		5,003,126
2017		7,668,752
2018		8,946,876
2019		71,574,996

Total	$	93,193,750

Failure to comply with financial covenants, scheduled interest payments, scheduled principal repayments, or any other terms of its credit agreement could result in the acceleration of the maturity of its outstanding debt. The Company believes that it will have sufficient liquidity and capital resources to permit it to meet its financial obligations for at least the next twelve months. As of June 30, 2015, the Company was in compliance with all applicable financial covenants under its credit agreement.

(6) Stock-Based Compensation

The Beasley Broadcast Group, Inc. 2007 Equity Incentive Award Plan (the “2007 Plan”) permits the Company to issue up to 4.0 million shares of Class A common stock. The 2007 Plan allows for eligible employees, directors and certain consultants of the Company to receive shares of restricted stock, stock options or other stock-based awards. The restricted stock awards that have been granted under the 2007 Plan generally vest over one to five years of service.

A summary of restricted stock activity under the 2007 Plan is as follows:


	Shares			Weighted- Average Grant-Date Fair Value
Unvested as of April 1, 2015		330,601		$	5.99
Granted		—			—
Vested		(6,700	)		7.27
Forfeited		—			—

Unvested as of June 30, 2015		323,901		$	5.96

BEASLEY BROADCAST GROUP, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

As of June 30, 2015, there was $1.4 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to restricted stock granted under the 2007 Plan. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.0 years.

(7) Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate was approximately 39% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015. This rate differs from the federal statutory rate of 35% due to the effect of state income taxes and certain expenses that are not deductible for tax purposes.

The Company’s effective tax rate for continuing and discontinued operations combined was approximately 41% and 54% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively. These rates differ from the federal statutory rate of 35% due to the effect of state income taxes and certain expenses that are not deductible for tax purposes. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2014 also reflects a $1.4 million increase from a change to the Company’s federal tax rate based on a projected increase in taxable income for 2014 and a $0.3 million decrease from a change to the Company’s effective state tax rate. The Company evaluated its taxable income projections during the first quarter of 2014 and determined, based on certain changes in facts and circumstances related to the projections, that the federal tax rate should increase from 34% to 35%. The change in the federal tax rate has been accounted for as a change in accounting estimate during the six months ended June 30, 2014.

(8) Related Party Transactions

On April 3, 2015, the Company contributed an additional $166,667 to Digital PowerRadio, LLC which maintained its ownership interest at approximately 20% of the outstanding units. The Company may be called upon to make additional pro rata cash contributions to Digital PowerRadio, LLC in the future. Digital PowerRadio, LLC is managed by Fowler Radio Group, LLC which is partially-owned by Mark S. Fowler, an independent director of the Company.

(9) Financial Instruments

The carrying amount of notes receivable from related parties with a fixed rate of interest of 2.57% was $1.6 million as of June 30, 2015, compared with a fair value of $1.5 million based on current market interest rates. The carrying amount of notes receivable from related parties was $1.7 million as of December 31, 2014, compared with a fair value of $1.7 million based on market rates at that time.

The carrying amount of long term debt, including the current installments, was $93.2 million as of June 30, 2015 and approximated fair value based on current market interest rates. The carrying amount of long-term debt was $97.7 million as of December 31, 2014 and approximated fair value based on market rates at that time.

Recent Developments

On June 25, 2015, we completed the acquisition of two FM translator licenses from the University of Northwestern for $200,575. These translator licenses allow us to rebroadcast the programming of one of our radio stations in Tampa, FL and one of our radio stations in Fort Myers, FL on the FM band over an expanded area of coverage.

On May 28, 2015, our board of directors declared a cash dividend of $0.045 per share on our Class A and Class B common stock. The dividend of $1.0 million in the aggregate was paid on July 10, 2015, to stockholders of record on June 30, 2015. While we intend to pay quarterly cash dividends for the foreseeable future, all subsequent dividends will be reviewed quarterly and declared by the board of directors at its discretion.

On May 28, 2015, our board of directors authorized us to repurchase up to $1.0 million of our Class A common stock over a period of one year from the date of authorization.

On April 3, 2015, we contributed an additional $166,667 to Digital PowerRadio, LLC which maintained our ownership interest at approximately 20% of the outstanding units. Digital PowerRadio, LLC is managed by Fowler Radio Group, LLC which is partially-owned by Mark S. Fowler, an independent director of Beasley Broadcast Group, Inc.

Financial Statement Presentation

The following discussion provides a brief description of certain key items that appear in our financial statements and general factors that impact these items.

Net Revenue. Our net revenue is primarily derived from the sale of advertising airtime to local and national advertisers. Net revenue is gross revenue less agency commissions, generally 15% of gross revenue. Local revenue generally consists of airtime sales, digital sales and event marketing for advertisers in a radio station’s local market either directly to the advertiser or through the advertiser’s agency. National revenue generally consists of advertising airtime and digital sales to agencies purchasing advertising for multiple markets. National sales are generally facilitated by our national representation firm, which serves as our agent in these transactions.

Our net revenue is generally determined by the advertising rates that we are able to charge and the number of advertisements that we can broadcast without jeopardizing listener levels. Advertising rates are primarily based on the following factors:

•

a radio station’s audience share in the demographic groups targeted by advertisers as measured principally by quarterly reports issued by the Arbitron Ratings Company;

•

the number of radio stations, as well as other forms of media, in the market competing for the attention of the same demographic groups;

•

the supply of, and demand for, radio advertising time; and

•

the size of the market.

Our net revenue is affected by general economic conditions, competition and our ability to improve operations at our market clusters. Seasonal revenue fluctuations are also common in the radio broadcasting industry and are primarily due to variations in advertising expenditures by local and national advertisers. Our revenues are typically lowest in the first calendar quarter of the year.

We use trade sales agreements to reduce cash paid for operating costs and expenses by exchanging advertising airtime for goods or services; however, we endeavor to minimize trade revenue in order to maximize cash revenue from our available airtime.

We also continue to invest in digital support services to develop and promote our radio station websites. We derive revenue from our websites through the sale of advertiser promotions and advertising on our websites and the sale of advertising airtime during audio streaming of our radio stations over the internet. We also generate revenue from selling other digital products.

Operating Expenses. Our operating expenses consist primarily of (1) programming, engineering, sales, advertising and promotion, and general and administrative expenses incurred at our radio stations, (2) general and administrative expenses, including compensation and other expenses, incurred at our corporate offices, and (3) depreciation and amortization. We strive to control our operating expenses by centralizing certain functions at our corporate offices and consolidating certain functions in each of our market clusters.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and related disclosures. We consider an accounting estimate to be critical if:

•

it requires assumptions to be made that were uncertain at the time the estimate was made; and

•

changes in the estimate or different estimates that could have been selected could have a material impact on our results of operations or financial condition.

Our critical accounting estimates are described in Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting estimates during the second quarter of 2015.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent accounting pronouncements are described in Note 2 to the accompanying financial statements.

Significant factors affecting net revenue included $13.3 million in additional advertising revenue from our Charlotte market cluster and $12.1 million in additional advertising revenue from our Tampa-Saint Petersburg market cluster, both of which were acquired on December 1, 2014, partially offset by a $0.7 million decrease in advertising revenue from our Las Vegas market cluster and a $0.5 million decrease in advertising revenue from our Wilmington market cluster. Net revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was comparable to net revenue for the same period in 2014 at our remaining market clusters.

Significant factors affecting station operating expenses included $9.3 million in additional expenses from our Charlotte market cluster and $8.9 million in additional expenses from our Tampa-Saint Petersburg market cluster. Station operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2015 were comparable station operating expenses for the same period in 2014 at our remaining market clusters.

Corporate General and Administrative Expenses. Corporate general and administrative expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2015 were comparable to the same period in 2014.

Radio Station Exchange Transaction Costs. In connection with the asset exchange with CBS Radio, we incurred additional transaction costs of $0.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2015.

Depreciation and Amortization. The $1.0 million increase in depreciation and amortization during the six months ended June 30, 2015 was primarily due to $0.6 million in additional expense from our Charlotte market cluster and $0.3 million in additional expense from our Tampa-Saint Petersburg market cluster as compared to the same period in 2014.

Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $0.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2015. The primary factor affecting interest expense was a decrease in long-term debt outstanding.

Other Income (Expense), Net. The $0.4 million increase in other income (expense), net during the six months ended June 30, 2015 was primarily due to the receipt of insurance proceeds of $0.4 million related to a radio tower damaged by severe weather in our Augusta market cluster.

Income Tax Expense. Our effective tax rate was approximately 39% for the six months ended June 30, 2015. This rate differs from the federal statutory rate of 35% due to the effect of state income taxes and certain expenses that are not deductible for tax purposes. Our effective tax rate for continuing and discontinued operations combined was approximately 54% for the six months ended June 30, 2014. This rate differs from the federal statutory rate of 35% due to the effect of state income taxes and certain expenses that are not deductible for tax purposes. The increase in the effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to the same period in 2015 also reflects a $1.4 million increase from a change to our federal tax rate partially offset by a $0.3 million decrease from a change to our effective state tax rate.

Net Income. Net income during the six months ended June 30, 2015 increased $0.1 million as a result of the factors described above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview. Our primary sources of liquidity are internally generated cash flow and our revolving credit loan. Our primary liquidity needs have been, and for the next twelve months and thereafter are expected to continue to be, for working capital, debt service, and other general corporate purposes, including capital expenditures and radio station acquisitions. Historically, our capital expenditures have not been significant. In addition to property and equipment associated with radio station acquisitions, our capital expenditures have generally been, and are expected to continue to be, related to the maintenance of our studio and office space and the technological improvement, including upgrades necessary to broadcast HD Radio, and maintenance of our broadcasting towers and equipment. We have also purchased or constructed office and studio space in some of our markets to facilitate the consolidation of our operations.

Our credit agreement permits us to repurchase sufficient shares of our common stock to fund withholding taxes in connection with the vesting of restricted stock, subject to compliance with financial covenants, up to an aggregate amount of $2.0 million per year. We paid $0.2 million to repurchase 49,150 shares during the six months ended June 30, 2015.

Our credit agreement permits us to pay cash dividends and to repurchase additional shares of our common stock, subject to compliance with financial covenants, up to an aggregate amount of $5.0 million for 2015 and $6.0 million for each year thereafter. The aggregate amount increases to $10.0 million in any year that our consolidated total debt is less than three times our consolidated operating cash flow.

We paid cash dividends of $2.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2015. Also, on May 28, 2015, our board of directors declared a cash dividend of $0.045 per share on our Class A and Class B common stock. The dividend of $1.0 million in the aggregate was paid on July 10, 2015, to stockholders of record on June 30, 2015.

On May 28, 2015, our board of directors authorized us to repurchase up to $1.0 million of our Class A common stock over a period of one year from the date of authorization.

We expect to provide for future liquidity needs through one or a combination of the following sources of liquidity:

•

internally generated cash flow;

•

our revolving credit facility;

•

additional borrowings, other than under our existing revolving credit facility, to the extent permitted under our credit agreement; and

•

additional equity offerings.

We believe that we will have sufficient liquidity and capital resources to permit us to provide for our liquidity requirements and meet our financial obligations for the next twelve months. However, poor financial results or unanticipated expenses could give rise to defaults under our credit facility, additional debt servicing requirements or other additional financing or liquidity requirements sooner than we expect and we may not secure financing when needed or on acceptable terms.

Our ability to reduce our consolidated total debt ratio, as defined by our credit agreement, by increasing operating cash flow and/or decreasing long-term debt will determine how much, if any, of the remaining commitments under our revolving credit facility will be available to us in the future. Poor financial results or unanticipated expenses could result in our failure to maintain or lower our consolidated total debt ratio and we may not be permitted to make any additional borrowings under our revolving credit facility.

The following summary table presents a comparison of our capital resources for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2015 with respect to certain of our key measures affecting our liquidity. The changes set forth in the table are discussed in greater detail below. This section should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes to financial statements included in Item 1 of this report.


	Six months ended June 30,
	2014			2015
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	6,967,858		$	5,484,700

Net decrease in cash and cash equivalents	$	(2,207,562	)	$	(2,688,437	)

Net Cash Provided By Operating Activities. Net cash provided by operating activities decreased $1.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2015. Significant factors affecting this decrease in net cash provided by operating activities included a $2.3 million increase in income tax payments and a $1.5 million decrease in cash receipts from the sale of advertising airtime, partially offset by a $2.0 million decrease in cash paid for station operating expenses.

Net Cash Used In Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2015 included payments of $0.8 million for capital expenditures and payments of $0.4 million for translator licenses. Net cash used in investing activities for the same period in 2014 included payments of $1.8 million for capital expenditures.

Net Cash Used In Financing Activities. Net cash used in financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2015 included repayments of $4.5 million under our credit facility and payments of $2.1 million for cash dividends. Net cash used in financing activities for the same period in 2014 included repayments of $4.6 million under our credit facility, payments of $2.1 million for cash dividends, payments of $0.4 million for loan fees related to the amended credit agreement, and payments of $0.4 million for repurchases of our Class A common stock.

Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2015, the credit facility consisted of a term loan with a remaining balance of $93.2 million and a revolving credit facility with a maximum commitment of $20.0 million. As of June 30, 2015, we had $14.8 million in available commitments under our revolving credit facility. At our election, the credit facility may bear interest at either (i) adjusted LIBOR, as defined in the credit agreement, plus a margin ranging from 2.75% to 4.75% that is determined by our consolidated total debt ratio, as defined in the credit agreement or (ii) the base rate, as defined in the credit agreement, plus a margin ranging from 1.75% to 3.75% that is determined by our consolidated total debt ratio. Interest on adjusted LIBOR loans is payable at the end of each applicable interest period and, for those interest periods with a duration in excess of three months, the three month anniversary of the beginning of such interest period. Interest on base rate loans is payable quarterly in arrears. The credit facility carried interest, based on adjusted LIBOR, at 3.4% as of June 30, 2015 and matures on August 9, 2019.

The credit agreement requires mandatory prepayments equal to 50% of consolidated excess cash flow, as defined in the credit agreement, when our consolidated total debt is equal to or greater than three times our consolidated operating cash flow, as defined in the credit agreement. Prepayments of excess cash flow are not required when our consolidated total debt is less than three times our consolidated operating cash flow. Mandatory prepayments of consolidated excess cash flow are due 120 days after year end. The credit agreement also requires mandatory prepayments for defined amounts from net proceeds of asset sales, net insurance proceeds, and net proceeds of debt issuances.

The credit agreement requires us to comply with certain financial covenants which are defined in the credit agreement. These financial covenants include:

•

Consolidated Total Debt Ratio. Our consolidated total debt on the last day of each fiscal quarter through June 30, 2015 must not have exceeded 4.25 times our consolidated operating cash flow for the four quarters then ended. The maximum ratio is 4.0 times for the period from July 1, 2015 through December 31, 2015, 3.75 times for 2016, 3.25 times for 2017, and 3.0 times thereafter.

•

Interest Coverage Ratio. Our consolidated operating cash flow for the four quarters ending on the last day of each fiscal quarter through maturity must not be less than 2.0 times our consolidated cash interest expense for the four quarters then ended.

The credit facility is secured by a first-priority lien on substantially all of the Company’s assets and the assets of substantially all of its subsidiaries and is guaranteed jointly and severally by the Company and substantially all of its subsidiaries. The guarantees were issued to our lenders for repayment of the outstanding balance of the credit facility. If we default under the terms of the credit agreement, we and our applicable subsidiaries may be required to perform under their guarantees. As of June 30, 2015, the maximum amount of undiscounted payments and our applicable subsidiaries would have been required to make in the event of default was $93.2 million. The guarantees for the credit facility expire on August 9, 2019.

The aggregate scheduled principal repayments of the credit facility for the remainder of 2015 and the next four years are as follows:


2015	$	—
2016		5,003,126
2017		7,668,752
2018		8,946,876
2019		71,574,996

Total	$	93,193,750

Failure to comply with financial covenants, scheduled interest payments, scheduled principal repayments, or any other terms of our credit agreement could result in the acceleration of the maturity of our outstanding debt, which could have a material adverse effect on our business or results of operations. As of June 30, 2015, we were in compliance with all applicable financial covenants under our credit agreement; our consolidated total debt ratio was 3.27 times, and our interest coverage ratio was 7.04 times.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

Not required for smaller reporting companies.
