CUMULUS MEDIA INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. Interim Financial Data, Basis of Presentation:
Interim Financial Data
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of Cumulus Media Inc. (the Company) and
the notes related thereto included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2010. These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America (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 notes required by GAAP for complete financial
statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of results
of the interim periods have been made and such adjustments were of a normal and recurring nature.
The results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2011 are not
necessarily indicative of the results of operations or cash flows that can be expected for any
other interim period or for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2011.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make
estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and
expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, the
Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to bad debts, intangible assets,
derivative financial instruments, income taxes, stock-based compensation, contingencies and
litigation. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions
that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for
making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent
from other sources. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different
assumptions or conditions.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
ASU 2010-28. In December 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) provided
additional guidance for performing Step 1 of the test for goodwill impairment when an entity has
reporting units with zero or negative carrying values. This Accounting Standards Update (ASU)
updates Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 350, Intangibles Goodwill and Other, to amend
the criteria for performing Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or
negative carrying amounts and requires performing Step 2 if qualitative factors indicate that it is
more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. The Company adopted this guidance effective
on January 1, 2011. The update did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated
financial statements.
ASU 2010-29. In December 2010, the FASB issued clarification of the accounting guidance
related to disclosure of pro forma information for business combinations that occur in the current
reporting period. The guidance requires companies to present pro forma information in their
comparative financial statements as if the acquisition date for any business combinations taking
place in the current reporting period had occurred at the beginning of the prior year reporting
period. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2011. The guidance did not have a
material impact on the Companys financial statements.
2. Acquisitions and Dispositions
2011 Acquisitions
Ann Arbor, Battle Creek and Canton Asset Exchange
On February 18, 2011, the Company completed an asset exchange with Clear Channel
Communications, Inc. (Clear Channel). As part of the asset exchange, the Company acquired eight
of Clear Channels radio stations located in Ann Arbor and Battle Creek, Michigan in exchange for
the Companys radio station in Canton, Ohio. The Company disposed of two of the Battle Creek
stations simultaneously with the closing of the transaction to comply with the Federal
Communications Commissions (FCC) broadcast ownership limits; WBCK-AM was placed in a trust for
the sale of the station to an unrelated third party and WBFN-AM was donated to Family Life
Broadcasting System. The transaction was accounted for as a business combination in accordance with
FASBs guidance. The fair value of the assets acquired in the
exchange was $17.4 million (refer to
the table below for the preliminary purchase price allocation). The Company incurred approximately
$0.2 million in acquisition costs related to this transaction and expensed them
6
as incurred through earnings within corporate general and administrative expense. The $4.3 million of goodwill identified in the preliminary purchase price allocation below is deductible for
tax purposes. The results of operations for the Ann Arbor and Battle Creek stations acquired, which
were not material, have been included in the Companys statements of operations since 2007 when the
Company entered into an LMA with Clear Channel to manage the stations. Prior to the asset exchange,
the Company did not have any preexisting relationship with Clear Channel with regard to the Canton
market.
In conjunction with the transactions, the Company recorded a net gain of $15.2 million, which
is included in gain on exchange of assets or stations in the accompanying statements of operations.

The preliminary allocation of the purchase price was based upon a preliminary valuation, and
the Companys estimates and assumptions are subject to change within the measurement period (up to
one year from the acquisition date). Any such changes may be material. The primary areas of the
preliminary purchase price allocation that are not yet finalized relate to the fair values of
certain tangible and intangible assets, including goodwill. The Company expects to continue to
obtain information to assist it in finalizing these preliminary valuations during the measurement
period.
Pending Acquisitions
On January 31, 2011, the Company entered into a definitive agreement (the CMP Acquisition
Agreement) to acquire the remaining 75.0% of the equity interests of Cumulus Media Partners, LLC
(CMP) that it does not currently own.
In connection with the CMP Acquisition, the Company expects to issue 9,945,714 shares of its
common stock to affiliates of Bain Capital Partners LLC (Bain), the Blackstone Group L.P.
(Blackstone) and Thomas H. Lee Partners (THLee, and together with Bain and Blackstone, the CMP
Sellers). In exchange for all of the equity interests in CMP owned by the CMP Sellers, Blackstone
will receive approximately 3.3 million shares of the Companys Class A common stock and, in order
to ensure compliance with FCC broadcast ownership rules, Bain and THLee each will receive
approximately 3.3 million shares of a new class of the Companys non-voting common stock. In
connection with the CMP Acquisition, it is expected that all of the outstanding warrants to
purchase shares of common stock of Radio Holdings will be converted into warrants to acquire
8,267,968 shares of the Companys non-voting common stock. Stockholders holding shares representing
approximately 54.0% of the Companys outstanding voting power have agreed to vote in favor of the
transactions necessary to complete the CMP Acquisition, making the requisite stockholder approval
assured.
In addition, on March 9, 2011, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the
Citadel Merger Agreement) with Citadel Broadcasting Corporation (Citadel), Cumulus Media
Holdings Inc., a direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (Holdco), and Cadet Merger
Corporation, an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (Merger Sub).
Pursuant to the Citadel Merger Agreement, at the closing, Merger Sub will merge with and into
Citadel, with Citadel surviving the merger as an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company
(the Citadel Acquisition). At the effective time of the Citadel Acquisition, each outstanding
share of common stock of Citadel will be converted automatically into the right to receive, at the
election of the holder (subject to certain limitations set forth in the Citadel Merger
Agreement), (i) $37.00 in cash, (ii) 8.525 shares of Cumulus Media Inc. common stock, or (iii) a
combination thereof (the Citadel Acquisition Consideration). Additionally, in connection with and
prior to the closing of the Citadel Acquisition, (i) each outstanding unvested option to acquire
shares of Citadel common stock issued under Citadels equity incentive plan will automatically
vest, and all outstanding options at the effective time of this Citadel Acquisition will be deemed
exercised pursuant to a cashless exercise, with the resulting net number of Citadel shares to be
converted into the right to receive the Citadel Acquisition Consideration, and (ii) each
outstanding warrant to purchase Citadel
7
common stock will become exercisable for the Citadel
Acquisition Consideration, subject to any applicable FCC limitations. Holders of unvested
restricted shares of Citadel common stock will be eligible to receive the Citadel Acquisition
Consideration for their shares pursuant to the original vesting schedule for such shares. Elections
by Citadel stockholders are subject to adjustment such that the maximum number of shares of the
Companys common stock that may be issued in the Citadel Acquisition is 151,485,282 and the maximum
amount of cash payable by the Company in the Citadel Acquisition is $1,408,728,600.
Consummation of each of these pending acquisitions is subject to various customary closing
conditions. These include, but are not limited to, (i) regulatory approval by the FCC (ii)
requisite stockholder approvals, (iii) solely with respect to the completion of the Citadel
Acquisition, the expiration or termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino
Antitrust Improvement Act of 1976, as amended, and (iv) the absence of any material adverse effect
on CMP or Citadel, as the case may be, or the Company. The Company currently anticipates that the
CMP Acquisition will be completed in mid-2011 and the Citadel Acquisition will be
completed prior to the end of 2011.
The actual timing of each of these pending transactions will depend upon a number of factors,
including the various conditions set forth in the respective transaction agreements. There can be
no assurance that any of such pending or proposed transactions will be consummated or that, if any
of such transactions is consummated, the timing or terms thereof will be as described herein and as
presently contemplated.
2010 Acquisitions
The Company did not complete any material acquisitions or dispositions during the three months
ended March 31, 2010.
3. Derivative Financial Instruments
The Companys derivative financial instruments are as follows:
May 2005 Option
In May 2005, the Company entered into an interest rate option agreement (the May 2005
Option), that provided Bank of America, N.A. the right to enter into an underlying swap agreement
with the Company, for two years, from March 13, 2009 through March 13, 2011.
The May 2005 Option was exercised on March 11, 2009. This instrument has not been highly
effective in mitigating the risks in the Companys cash flows, and therefore the Company has deemed
it speculative, and has accounted for changes in the May 2005 Options value as a current element
of interest expense. The May 2005 Option expired on March 13, 2011 in accordance with the terms of
the original agreement. The balance sheets as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 reflect
current liabilities of $0.0 million and $3.7 million, respectively, to include the fair value of
the May 2005 Option. The Company reported interest income of $3.7 million and $1.9 million,
inclusive of the fair value adjustment during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010,
respectively.
The Company does not utilize financial instruments for trading or other speculative purposes.
Green Bay Option
On April 10, 2009 (the Acquisition Date), Clear Channel and the Company entered into an LMA
whereby the Company is responsible for operating (i.e., programming, advertising, etc.) five Green
Bay radio stations and must pay Clear Channel a monthly fee of approximately $0.2 million over a
five year term (expiring December 31, 2013), in exchange for the Company retaining the operating
profits from managing the radio stations. Clear Channel also has a put option (the Green Bay
Option) that would allow it to require the Company to purchase the five Green Bay radio stations
at any time during the two-month period commencing July 1, 2013 (or earlier if the LMA is
terminated before this date) for $17.6 million (the fair value of the radio stations as of April
10, 2009).
The Company accounted for the Green Bay Option as a derivative contract. Accordingly, the fair
value of the put was recorded as a liability offsetting the gain at the Acquisition Date with
subsequent changes in the fair value recorded through earnings. The fair value of the Green Bay
Option was determined using inputs that are supported by little or no market activity (a Level 3
measurement). The fair value represents an estimate of the net amount that the Company would pay if
the Green Bay Option was transferred to another party as of the date of the valuation (see Note 4,
Fair Value Measurements).

4. Fair Value Measurements
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy to be applied to financial instruments when
determining fair value are described below:
Level 1 Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities that the entity has the ability to access;
Level 2 Valuations based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in
markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by
observable data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; and
Level 3 Valuations based on inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that
are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
A financial instruments level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of
any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Companys financial assets and
liabilities are measured at fair value on a recurring basis.
Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31,
2011 were as follows (dollars in thousands):

The fair value of the Green Bay Option was determined using inputs that are supported by
little or no market activity (a Level 3 measurement). The fair value represents an estimate of
the net amount that the Company would pay if the option was transferred to another party as of
the date of the valuation. The option valuation incorporates a credit risk adjustment to
reflect the probability of default by the Company. |
The Company reported $0.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, in realized loss
on derivative instruments within the income statement related to the fair value adjustment,
representing the change in the fair value of the Green Bay Option.
The reconciliation below contains the components of the change in fair value associated with
the Green Bay Option as of March 31, 2011 (dollars in thousands):

To estimate the fair value of the Green Bay Option, the Company used a Black-Scholes valuation
model. The significant inputs for the valuation model include the following:
|
|
|
total term of 2.4 years; |
|
|
|
|
volatility rate of 41.0%; |
|
|
|
|
annual dividend rate of 0.0%; |
|
|
|
|
discount rate of 1.0%; and |
|
|
|
|
market value of Green Bay station of $8.8 million. |
The carrying values of receivables, payables, and accrued expenses approximate fair value due
to the short maturity of these instruments.

To estimate the fair value of the term loan, the Company used an industry standard cash
valuation model, which utilizes a discounted cash flow approach. The significant inputs for the
valuation model include the following:
|
|
|
discount cash flow rate of 4.6%; |
|
|
|
|
interest rate of 0.2%; and |
|
|
|
|
credit spread of 4.4%. |
5. Investment in Affiliate
In connection with the October 31, 2005 formation of, and in exchange for its 25.0% ownership
interest in, CMP, the Company contributed to CMP four radio stations (including related licenses
and assets) in the Houston, Texas and Kansas City, Missouri markets with a book value of
approximately $71.6 million, and approximately $6.2 million in cash. The Company recognized a gain
10
of $2.5 million from the transfer of assets to CMP. In addition, upon consummation of the
acquisition, the Company received a payment of approximately $3.5 million as consideration for
advisory services provided in connection with the acquisition. The Company recorded the payment as
a reduction in its investment in CMP. The table below presents summarized financial statement data
related to CMP (dollars in thousands):

The Companys investment in CMP is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. At
March 31, 2011, the Companys proportionate share of the value of its affiliate losses exceeded the
value of its investment in CMP. In addition, the Company has no contractual obligation to fund the
losses of CMP. As a result, the Company has no exposure to loss as a result of its ownership
interest in CMP.
Concurrent with the October 31, 2005 consummation of the formation of CMP, the Company entered
into a management agreement with a subsidiary of CMP, pursuant to which the Companys personnel
manage the operations of CMPs subsidiaries. The agreement provides for the Company to receive, on
a quarterly basis, a management fee that is approximately 4.0% of the subsidiary of CMPs
annual EBITDA or $4.0 million, whichever is greater. For each of the three months ended March
31, 2011 and 2010, the Company recorded as net revenues approximately $1.0 million in management
fees, from CMP.
On January 31, 2011, the Company entered into the CMP Acquisition Agreement. The Company
expects this acquisition to be consummated by the end of the second quarter of 2011 (see Note 2,
Acquisitions and Dispositions).
6. Long-Term Debt

Existing Credit Agreement
The Company is party to a credit agreement, dated as of June 7, 2006, among the Company, the
lenders party thereto and the administrative agent thereunder (the Existing Credit Agreement).
The Companys Existing Credit Agreement currently provides for a term loan facility of $750.0
million, which had an outstanding balance of approximately $575.8 million as of March 31, 2010, and
a revolving credit facility of $20.0 million, of which no amounts were outstanding as of March 31,
2011.
The Companys obligations under the Existing Credit Agreement are collateralized by
substantially all of its assets in which a security interest may lawfully be granted (including FCC
licenses held by its subsidiaries), including, without limitation, intellectual property and all of
the capital stock of the Companys direct and indirect subsidiaries. The Companys obligations
under the Existing Credit Agreement are guaranteed by all of its subsidiaries.
11
The Existing Credit Agreement contains terms and conditions customary for financing
arrangements of this nature. The term loan facility will mature on June 11, 2014. The revolving
credit facility will mature on June 7, 2012.
As of March 31, 2011, the interest rate on the Companys outstanding borrowings pursuant to
its Existing Credit Agreement was approximately 3.5%.
Events of default in the Existing Credit Agreement include, among others, (a) the failure to
pay when due the obligations owing under the credit facilities; (b) the failure to perform (and not
timely remedy, if applicable) certain covenants; (c) cross-default and cross-acceleration; (d) the
occurrence of bankruptcy or insolvency events; (e) certain judgments against the Company or any of
the Companys subsidiaries; (f) the loss, revocation or suspension of, or any material impairment
in the ability to use of or more of, any of the Companys material FCC licenses; (g) any
representation or warranty made, or report, certificate or financial statement delivered, to the
lenders subsequently proven to have been incorrect in any material respect; and (h) the occurrence
of a change in control (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement). Upon the occurrence of an
event of default, the lenders may terminate the loan commitments, accelerate all loans and exercise
any of their rights under the Existing Credit Agreement and the ancillary loan documents as a
secured party.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2011, the total leverage ratio covenant requirement was 6.5:1
and the fixed charge coverage ratio requirement was 1.1:1. As of March 31, 2011, the Company was in compliance with all of its required covenants.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2011, the Company made an Excess Cash Flow Payment (as
defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) under the Existing Credit Agreement in an amount equal to
$9.3 million and a principal payment in the amount equal to $7.2 million.
As a part of its refinancing transactions in connection with its pending acquisitions of CMP
and Citadel and subsequent to March 31, 2011, the Company
entered into Amendment No. 5 to the Existing Credit Agreement (the
Fifth Amendment) and completed its offering of $610.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.75%
senior notes due 2019 (the Notes) on May 13, 2011. Proceeds from the sale of the Notes were used
among other things, to repay the $575.8 million outstanding under the term loan facility under the
Existing Credit Agreement (see Note 14, Subsequent Events).
7. Stock Based Compensation
During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company granted Mr. L. Dickey 160,000 shares
of performance vested restricted Class A common stock and 160,000 shares of time-vested restricted
Class A common stock. The fair value on the date of grant of
both of these awards was $1.6 million,
or $4.87 per share. In addition, also during the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company
granted 170,000 shares of time-vested Class A common stock, with an aggregate fair value on the
date of grant of $0.8 million, or $4.87 per share, to certain officers (other than Mr. L. Dickey)
of the Company.
For the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company recognized approximately $0.6 million
in non-cash stock based compensation expense.
8. Earnings per Share (EPS)
For all periods presented, the
Company has disclosed basic and diluted earnings (loss) per common
share utilizing the two-class method. Basic earnings (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing net
income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock
outstanding during the period. The Company determined that it is appropriate to allocate
undistributed net income (loss) between Class A, Class B and Class C common stock on an equal basis as the
Companys charter provides that the holders of Class A, Class B and Class C common stock have equal
rights and privileges except with respect to voting on certain matters.
Non-vested restricted shares of Class A common stock awarded contain non-forfeitable dividend
rights and are therefore considered a participating security for
purposes of calculating earnings (loss) per share. The
two-class method of computing earnings (loss) per share is required for companies with participating
securities. Under this method, net income (loss) is allocated to common stock and participating securities
to the extent that each security may share in earnings, as if all of the earnings for the period
had been distributed. Because the Company does not pay dividends, earnings are allocated to each
participating security and common share equally. The following table sets forth the computation of
basic and diluted income (loss) per common share for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010
(amounts in thousands, except per share data).

For the three months ended March 31, 2011, options to purchase 85,092 shares of common stock
were outstanding but excluded from the EPS calculation because the exercise prices of the
options were equal to or exceeded the average share price for the period and, as a result, the
inclusion of such options would have been antidilutive. For the three months ended March 31,
2010, options to purchase 873,119 shares of common stock were outstanding but excluded from
the EPS calculation because the inclusion of such options would have been antidilutive due to
the net loss position. Additionally, for the three months ended March 31, 2010, the Company
excluded from the EPS calculation certain warrants because including the warrants would have
been antidilutive due to the net loss position. |
The Company has issued to key executives and employees shares of restricted stock and options
to purchase shares of common stock as part of the Companys stock incentive plans. At March 31,
2011, the following restricted stock and stock options to purchase the following classes of common
stock were issued and outstanding:

9. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company engages Katz Media Group, Inc. (Katz) as its national advertising sales agent.
The national advertising agency contract with Katz contains termination provisions that, if
exercised by the Company during the term of the contract, would obligate the Company to pay a
termination fee to Katz, calculated based upon a formula set forth in the contract.
In December 2004, the Company purchased 240 perpetual licenses from iBiquity Digital
Corporation, which enable it to convert to and utilize digital broadcasting technology on 240 of
its stations. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company committed to
convert the 240 stations to digital technology over a seven year period. The Company
negotiated an amendment to the agreement with iBiquity to reduce the number of planned conversions
commissions, extend the build-out schedule, and increase the license fees for each converted
station. The conversion to digital technology will require an investment in certain capital
equipment over the next four years. Management estimates the Companys investment will be between
$0.1 million and $0.2 million per station converted.
In August 2005, the Company was subpoenaed by the Office of the Attorney General of the State
of New York, as were other radio broadcasting companies, in connection with the New York Attorney
Generals investigation of promotional practices related to record
13
companies dealings with radio
stations broadcasting in New York. The Company is cooperating with the Attorney General in this
investigation.
On December 11, 2008, Qantum Communications (Qantum) filed a counterclaim in a foreclosure
action the Company initiated in the Okaloosa County, Florida Circuit Court. The Companys action
was designed to collect a debt owed to the Company by Star Broadcasting, Inc. (Star), which then
owned radio station WTKE-FM in Holt, Florida. In its counterclaim, Qantum alleged that the Company
tortiously interfered with Qantums contract to acquire radio station WTKE from Star by entering
into an agreement to buy WTKE after Star had represented to the Company that its contract with
Qantum had been terminated (and that Star was therefore free to enter into the new agreement with
the Company). On February 27, 2011, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with Star. In
connection with the settlement regarding the since-terminated attempt to purchase WTKE, the Company
recorded $7.8 million in costs associated with a terminated transaction in the consolidated
statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2010, that are payable in 2011.
In March 2011, the Company was named in a patent infringement suit brought against it as well
as other radio companies, including Beasley Broadcast Group, Inc., CBS Radio, Inc., Entercom
Communications, Greater Media, Inc. and Townsquare Media, LLC. The case, Mission Abstract Data
L.L.C, d/b/a Digimedia v. Beasley Broadcast Group, Inc., et. al., Civil Action Case No:
1:99-mc-09999, U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware (filed March 1, 2011), alleges that
the defendants are infringing or have infringed plaintiffs patents entitled Selection and
Retrieval of Music from a Digital Database. Plaintiff is seeking injunctive relief and unspecified
damages. The Company intends to vigorously defend this lawsuit and
due to the fact that this case is still in the preliminary stages, has not yet determined what
effect the lawsuit will have, if any, on its financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.
On March 14, 2011, a putative shareholder class action complaint was filed against Citadel,
its board of directors (the Citadel Board), and the Company in the District Court of Clark
County, Nevada, generally alleging that the Citadel Board breached its fiduciary duties to Citadel
stockholders in connection with its approval of the Citadel Acquisition and breached its duty of
disclosure to Citadel stockholders by allegedly withholding material information relating to the
Citadel Acquisition, and also alleged that Citadel and the Company each aided and abetted the
Citadel Board in its alleged breach of its fiduciary duties. The complaint seeks, among other
things, an injunction against the consummation of the Citadel Acquisition or rescission of the
Citadel Acquisition in the event it is consummated. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself
against the allegations in the complaint.
On March 23, 2011, a second putative class action complaint was filed in the District Court of
Clark County, Nevada, against Citadel, the Citadel Board, the Company, Cumulus Media Holdings Inc.,
and Merger Sub (Cumulus Media Holdings Inc. and Merger Sub together, the Merger Entities). The
complaint generally alleges that the Citadel Board breached its fiduciary duties to Citadel
shareholders in connection with its approval of the Citadel Acquisition and that Citadel, the
Company and the Merger Entities aided and abetted the Citadel Boards alleged breach of its
fiduciary duties. The complaint seeks, among other things, an injunction against the consummation
of the Citadel Acquisition, rescission of the Citadel Acquisition in the event it is consummated,
and any damages arising from the defendants alleged breaches. The Company and the Merger Entities
intend to vigorously defend themselves against the allegations in the complaint.
On May 6, 2011, a third
putative class action complaint was filed in the Chancery Court of
Delaware against Citadel, the Citadel Board, the Company and the
Merger Entities. The complaint alleges, among other things, that the members of the Citadel Board breached their fiduciary duties
to the Citadel shareholders by their approval of the Citadel
Acquisition. The complaint further alleges
that the Company and the Merger Entities knowingly aided and abetted the Citadel Boards breach of
fiduciary duties. The complaint seeks, among other things: (i) the courts declaration that the
lawsuit is properly maintainable as a class action; (ii) an injunction against the consummation of
the Citadel Acquisition; (iii) rescission of the Citadel Acquisition, to the extent certain terms
have already been implemented; (iv) that the Citadel Board
account to the plaintiffs for all damages
suffered as a result of the Citadel Boards alleged wrongdoing; and (v) the award of reasonable
attorneys fees. The Company and the Merger Entities intend to
vigorously defend themselves against the
allegations in this complaint.
The Company is also a defendant from time to time in various other lawsuits, which are
generally incidental to its business. The Company is vigorously
contesting all such known lawsuits and
believes that their ultimate resolution will not have a material adverse effect on its consolidated
financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
10. Restricted Cash
The Company is required to secure the maximum exposure generated by automated clearing house
transactions in its operating bank accounts as dictated by the Companys banks internal policies
with cash. This action was triggered by an adverse rating as determined by the Companys banks
rating system. These funds were moved to a segregated bank account that does not zero balance
daily. As of March 31, 2011, the Companys balance sheet included approximately $0.6 million in
restricted cash related to the automated clearing house transactions.
11. Variable Interest Entities
At March 31, 2011, the Company had an investment in CMP, which the Company accounts for using
the equity method and which the Company has determined to be a VIE that is not subject to
consolidation because the Company is not deemed to be the primary beneficiary. The Company cannot
make unilateral management decisions affecting the long-term operational results of CMP, as all
such decisions require approval by the CMP board of directors. Additionally, although the Company
operates CMPs business
14
pursuant to a management agreement, one of the other equity holders has the
unilateral right to remove the Company as manager of CMP with 30 days notice. The Company
concluded that this ability to unilaterally terminate CMPs management agreement with the Company
resulted in a substantive kick out right, thereby precluding the Company from being designated as
the primary beneficiary with respect to its interest in CMP.
As of March 31, 2011, the Companys proportionate share of its affiliate losses exceeded the
value of its investment in CMP. In addition, the Company has no contractual obligation to fund the
losses of CMP. As a result, the Company had no exposure to loss from its investment in CMP. The
Company has not provided and does not intend to provide any financial support, guarantees or
commitments for or on behalf of CMP. Additionally, the Companys balance sheet as of March 31, 2011
does not include any assets or liabilities related to its interest in CMP (see Note 5, Investment
in Affiliate).
On January 31, 2011, the Company entered into the CMP Acquisition Agreement. The Company
expects this acquisition to be consummated by the end of the second quarter of 2011 (see Note 2,
Acquisitions and Dispositions).

The Company has significant intangible assets recorded comprised primarily of broadcast
licenses and goodwill acquired through the acquisition of radio stations. Applicable accounting
guidance related to goodwill and other intangible assets requires that the carrying value of the
Companys goodwill and certain intangible assets be reviewed at least annually, and more often if
certain circumstances are present, for impairment, with any changes charged to results of
operations in the periods in which the recorded value of those assets is more than their respective
fair market value.
13. Related Party
During the third quarter of 2010, the Company entered into a management agreement with DM
Luxury, LLC (DM Luxury). DM Luxury is 50.0% owned by Dickey Publishing, Inc. and Dickey Media
Investments, LLC, each of which is partially owned by Mr. L.
15
Dickey. Pursuant to the agreement with
DM Luxury, the Company provides back office shared services, such as finance, accounting, treasury,
internal audit, use of corporate headquarters, legal, human resources, risk management and
information technology for an annual management fee equal to the greater of $0.5 million and 5.0%
of DM Luxurys adjusted EBITDA on an annual basis. The Company recorded $0.1 million and $0.0
million of revenues from this agreement during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010,
respectively.
14. Subsequent Events
As
a part of the refinancing transactions in connection with the pending acquisitions of CMP
and Citadel, on May 13, 2011, the Company completed its offering of $610.0 million of Notes.
Proceeds from the sale of the Notes were used, among other things, to repay the $575.8 million
outstanding under the term loan facility under the Existing Credit Agreement.
Interest
accrues on the Notes at a rate of 7.75% per annum from May 13,
2011, and interest is payable semiannually on each May 1 and
November 1, commencing November 1, 2011. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if the Citadel Merger Agreement is terminated without
consummation of the Citadel Acquisition or if the Company and Citadel both publicly announce their
determination not to proceed with the Citadel Acquisition, then interest on the Notes will accrue
at a rate of 8.25% per annum from and after the effective date of such termination or
announcement. The Notes mature on May 1, 2019.
The Company may redeem all or part of the Notes at any time on or after May 1, 2015. At any
time prior to May 1, 2014, the Company may also redeem up to 35.0% of the Notes using the proceeds
from certain equity offerings. At any time prior to May 1, 2015, the Company may redeem some or all
of the Notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus a make-whole premium.
Further, if the Citadel Merger Agreement is terminated without consummation of the Citadel
Acquisition and neither CMP nor any of its subsidiaries has become a restricted subsidiary under
the indenture governing the Notes, during each 12-month period commencing on the date of such
termination to the third anniversary thereof, or such earlier time as CMP or any of
its subsidiaries becomes a restricted subsidiary under such indenture, the Company may redeem up to
10.0% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Notes at a redemption price of 103.0%. If
the Company sells certain assets or experiences specific kinds of changes in control, the Company
will be required to make an offer to purchase the Notes.
Each of the Companys existing and future domestic restricted subsidiaries that guarantees the
Companys indebtedness or indebtedness of the Companys subsidiary guarantors (other than the
Companys subsidiaries that hold the licenses for the Companys radio stations) guarantees, and
will guarantee, the Notes. Under certain circumstances, the Notes may be assumed by a direct
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Companys, in which case the Company will guarantee the Notes. The
Notes are the Companys senior unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment to all of
the Companys existing and future senior unsecured debt and senior in right of payment to all of
the Companys future subordinated debt. The Notes guarantees are the Companys guarantors senior
unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment to all of the Companys guarantors
existing and future senior debt and senior in right of payment to all of the Companys guarantors
future subordinated debt. The Notes and the guarantees are effectively subordinated to any of the
Companys or the guarantors existing and future secured debt to the extent of the value of the
assets securing such debt. In addition, the Notes and the guarantees are structurally
subordinated to all indebtedness and other liabilities, including preferred stock, of the Companys
non-guarantor subsidiaries, including all of the liabilities of the Companys and the guarantors
foreign subsidiaries and the Companys subsidiaries that hold the licenses for the Companys radio
stations.
In connection with the completion of the offering of Notes, the Company
entered into the Fifth Amendment to the Existing Credit Agreement. The Fifth Amendment, dated as of April 29, 2011 and
effective as of May 13, 2011, provided the
Company the ability to complete the offering of Notes, provided that proceeds therefrom were used
to repay in full the term loans outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement. In addition, the
Fifth Amendment, among other things, provides for an incremental term loan facility of up to $200.0
million, which may only be accessed to repurchase Notes under certain circumstances, (i) replaced
the total leverage ratio in the Existing Credit Agreement with a secured leverage ratio and (ii)
amended certain definitions in the Existing Credit Agreement to facilitate the Companys ability to
complete the offering of Notes.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
General
The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read
in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto
included elsewhere in this quarterly report. This discussion, as well as various other sections of
this quarterly report, contains statements that constitute forward-looking statements within the
meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and other federal securities laws.
Such statements relate to our intent, belief or current expectations primarily with respect to our
future operating, financial or strategic performance. Any such forward-looking statements are not
guarantees of future performance and may involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ
from those contained in or implied by the forward-looking statements as a result of various
factors, including, but not limited to, risks and uncertainties relating to the need for additional
funds, Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and other regulatory approvals of pending
acquisitions, our inability to renew one or more of our broadcast licenses, changes in interest
rates, consummation of our pending acquisitions, integration of acquisitions, our ability to
eliminate certain costs, the management of rapid growth, the popularity of radio as a broadcasting
and advertising medium, changing consumer tastes, the impact of general economic conditions in the
United States or in specific markets in which we currently do business, industry conditions,
including existing competition and future competitive technologies and cancellation, disruptions or
postponements of advertising schedules in response to national or world events. Many of these risks
and uncertainties are beyond our control, and the unexpected occurrence or failure to occur of any
such events or matters would significantly alter our actual results of operations or financial
condition.
Operating Overview
We are currently the second largest radio broadcasting company in the United States based on
the number of stations owned or managed. As of March 31, 2011, we owned or managed 312 radio
stations (including under LMAs) in 60 mid-sized United States media markets and operated 34 radio
stations in eight markets, including San Francisco, Dallas, Houston and Atlanta that are owned by
Cumulus Media Partners, LLC (CMP). We also provide sales
and marketing services to 9 radio
stations in the United States under LMAs. We own and manage, directly or through our investment in
CMP, a total of 346 FM and AM radio stations in 68 mid- and large-sized markets throughout the
United States.
Liquidity Considerations
Historically,
our principal needs for funds have been to fund the acquisition of radio
stations, expenses associated with our station and corporate operations, capital expenditures,
repurchases of our Class A common stock, and interest and debt service payments. We believe that
our funding needs in the future will be for substantially similar
requirements, including, but not
limited to, completing our pending acquisition of the 75.0% of the equity interests of CMP that we
do not currently own, and our pending acquisition of Citadel
Broadcasting Corporation (Citadel), as well as capital
expenditures relating to our business operations.
Our principal sources of funds historically have been cash flow from our operations and
borrowings under our credit facilities in existence from time to time. Our cash flow from
operations is subject to such factors as shifts in population, station listenership, demographics,
or audience tastes, and fluctuations in preferred advertising media. In addition, customers may not
be able to pay, or may delay payment of, accounts receivable that are owed to us, which risks may
be exacerbated in challenging economic periods. In recent periods, management has taken steps to
mitigate this risk through heightened collection efforts and enhancements to our credit approval
process, although no assurances as to the longer-term success of these efforts can be provided.
We believe the remainder of 2011 will exhibit a pattern fairly consistent with that of the
prior year, and we anticipate modest growth for the radio industry overall. However, unlike 2010,
where growth was driven primarily by increases in automotive and political advertising, we
anticipate that 2011 growth will be driven by more broad-based increases across all key advertising
categories, as overall local advertising continues to show strength. In addition, we believe that
certain non-core operating factors will impact our liquidity. For example, the expiration of the
interest rate option agreement (the May 2005 Option) that provided Bank of America, N.A. the
right to enter into an underlying swap agreement with us, for two years, from March 13, 2009
through March 13, 2011 should provide us with an additional $10.0 million to $12.0 million in cash
flow during the last three quarters of 2011 compared to the same prior year period. Additionally, in
accordance with the terms of our credit agreement, dated as of June 7, 2006 (the Existing Credit
Agreement), during the quarter ended March 31, 2011, we made an Excess Cash Flow payment in the
amount of $9.3 million which reduced the interest rate on
borrowings under the Existing Credit Agreement by an additional 50 basis points to 325 basis points
effective March 31, 2011.
17
In connection with our pending acquisitions of each of CMP and Citadel, we have obtained
commitments for up to $500.0 million in equity financing and commitments for up to $2.525 billion
in senior secured credit facilities, which are expected to be
used to pay the cash portion of the purchase price in the Citadel Acquisition, and effect a
refinancing of the then-outstanding indebtedness of each of the
Company, CMP and Citadel. As a part of the
overall refinancing transactions being undertaken, and expected to be undertaken, in connection
with these pending acquisitions, on May 13, 2011 we completed the issuance of $610.0 million of
7.75% senior notes due 2019 (the Notes). We used proceeds from the issuance of Notes to repay in
full the $575.8 million outstanding under the term loan facility under the Existing Credit Agreement.
In connection with the completion of the offering of the Notes, we entered into the fifth
amendment, dated as of April 29, 2011 and effective as of May 13, 2011, to the Existing Credit
Agreement (the Fifth Amendment). The Fifth Amendment provided us with the ability to complete the
offering of Notes, provided that proceeds therefrom were used to repay in full the term loans
outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement. In addition, the Fifth Amendment, among other
things, provides for an incremental term loan facility of up to $200.0 million, which may only be
accessed to repurchase Notes under certain circumstances, (i) replaced the total leverage ratio in
the credit agreement with a secured leverage ratio and (ii) amended certain definitions in the
credit agreement to facilitate our ability to complete the offering of Notes. Under the Existing
Credit Agreement, as amended by the Fifth Amendment, we continue to have up to $20.0 million in
revolving loan availability thereunder, subject to the terms and conditions under that agreement.
We expect to enter into a new senior secured credit agreement, providing for a term loan and a
revolving credit facility, in connection with the completion of the
Citadel Acquisition and to terminate the Existing Credit Agreement.
We have assessed the current and expected implications of our business climate, our current
and expected needs for funds and our current and expected sources of funds and determined, based on
our financial condition as of March 31, 2011, that cash on hand, cash expected to be generated from
operating activities, borrowing availability under the Existing Credit Agreement and, in connection
with the Citadel Acquisition, availability under replacement credit facilities and from related
equity financing commitments, as well as, if necessary, any further financing activities, will be
sufficient to satisfy our anticipated financing needs for working capital, capital expenditures,
interest and debt service payments and completion of pending and other potential acquisitions and other debt obligations through
March 31, 2012. However, given the variables and uncertainties
that can affect our business, including cash flows, in our markets, the quality of accounts receivable, pending litigation,
the timing of the completion of each of the CMP and Citadel acquisitions and the need to
execute definitive documentation with respect to the debt commitments entered into in
connection with the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Citadel Merger Agreement) entered into with
Citadel, no assurances can be provided in this regard.
Advertising Revenue and Station Operating Income
Our primary source of revenues is the sale of advertising time on our radio stations. Our
sales of advertising time are primarily affected by the demand for advertising time from local,
regional and national advertisers and the advertising rates charged by our radio stations.
Advertising demand and rates are based primarily on a stations ability to attract audiences in the
demographic groups targeted by its advertisers, as measured principally by various ratings agencies
on a periodic basis. We endeavor to develop strong listener loyalty and we believe that the
diversification of formats on our stations helps to insulate them from the effects of changes in
the musical tastes of the public with respect to any particular format.
Our stations strive to maximize revenue by managing their on-air inventory of advertising time
and adjusting prices up or down based on supply and demand. The optimal number of advertisements
available for sale depends on the programming format of a particular station. Each of our stations
has a general target level of on-air inventory available for advertising. This target level of
inventory for sale may vary at different times of the day but tends to remain stable over time. We
seek to broaden our base of advertisers in each of our markets by providing a wide array of
audience demographic segments across our cluster of stations, thereby providing each of our
potential advertisers with an effective means of reaching a targeted demographic group. Our selling
and pricing activity is based on demand for our radio stations on-air inventory and, in general,
we respond to this demand by varying prices rather than by varying our target inventory level for a
particular station. In the broadcasting industry, radio stations sometimes utilize trade or barter
agreements that exchange advertising time for goods or services such as travel or lodging, instead
of for cash. Trade revenue totaled $3.4 million and $3.8 million in the three months ended March
31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Our advertising contracts are generally short-term. We generate
most of our revenue from local and regional advertising, which is sold primarily by a stations
sales staff. Local advertising represented approximately 79.9% and 89.8% of our total revenues
during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Our advertising revenues vary by quarter throughout the year. As is typical in the radio
broadcasting industry, our first calendar quarter produced the lowest revenues during the last
twelve month period as advertising generally declines following the winter holidays. The second and
fourth calendar quarters are expected to produce the highest revenues for the year. Our operating
results in any period may be affected by the incurrence of advertising and promotion expenses that
typically do not have an effect on revenue generation until future periods, if at all.
Our most significant station operating expenses are employee salaries and commissions,
programming expenses, advertising and promotional expenditures, technical expenses, and general and
administrative expenses. We strive to control these expenses by working closely with local market
management. The performance of radio station groups, such as ours, is customarily measured by the
18
ability to generate Station Operating Income. See the quantitative reconciliation of Station
Operating Income to the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in
accordance with GAAP, which follows in this section.

Station Operating Income consists of operating income before depreciation and amortization,
LMA fees, non-cash stock compensation expense, corporate general and administrative expenses,
the gain on exchange of assets or stations, and the realized loss on derivative instruments.
Station Operating Income is not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP.
Station Operating Income should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net
income (loss), operating income, cash flows from operating activities or any other measure for
determining our operating performance or liquidity that is calculated in accordance with GAAP.
See managements explanation of this measure and the reasons for its use and presentation,
along with a quantitative reconciliation of Station Operating Income to its most directly
comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, below under
"Station Operating Income. |
|
(2) |
|
Station Operating Income margin is defined as Station Operating Income as a percentage of net
revenues. |
Three Months Ended March 31, 2011 versus the Three Months Ended March 31, 2010
Net Revenues. Net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2011 increased $1.5 million,
or 2.7%, to $57.9 million compared to $56.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010,
primarily due to an increase of $1.5 million in new network advertising contracts.
Station Operating Expenses, Excluding Depreciation, Amortization and LMA Fees. Station
operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2011 decreased $2.4 million, or 5.9%, to
$37.5 million, compared to $39.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010. This decrease
is primarily due to a decrease in sales expenses of $1.3 million associated with the amendment of
an agreement with an audience measuring service and decreases of $1.1 million in trade and other
general expenses.
19
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization for the three months ended March
31, 2011 decreased $0.4 million, or 15.7%, to $2.1 million, compared to $2.5 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2010, resulting from a decrease in our asset base due to assets becoming
fully depreciated.
LMA Fees. LMA fees totaled $0.6 million and $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31,
2011 and 2010, respectively. LMA fees in the current year were comprised primarily of fees
associated with stations operated under LMAs in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Ann Arbor, Michigan, Green Bay,
Wisconsin, and Battle Creek, Michigan. Effective February 18, 2011, as a result of the asset
exchange with Clear Channel, we no longer operate the Ann Arbor and Battle Creek, Michigan stations
under LMAs.
Corporate, General and Administrative Expenses Including Non-cash Stock Compensation.
Corporate, general and administrative expenses, including non-cash stock compensation expense for
the three months ended March 31, 2011, increased
$4.0 million, or 99.9%, to $8.1 million compared
to $4.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, primarily due to an increase of $1.9
million in costs associated with the pending acquisitions of CMP and Citadel, an increase of $1.0
million in professional fees, an increase of $0.4 million in salaries and related expenses, and an
increase of $0.7 million in non-cash stock compensation expense.
Gain on Exchange of Assets or Stations. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, we
completed an exchange transaction with Clear Channel to swap our Canton, Ohio radio station for
eight of Clear Channels radio stations in the Ann Arbor and Battle Creek, Michigan markets. In
connection with this transaction, we recorded a gain of approximately
$15.2 million. We did not
complete any such transactions in 2010.
Realized Loss on Derivative Instrument. During the three months ended March 31, 2011 and
2010, we recorded a charge of $0.0 million and $0.6 million, respectively, related to our recording
of the fair market value of the Green Bay Option.
Interest Expense, net. Interest expense, net of interest income, for the three months ended
March 31, 2011 decreased $2.5 million, or 28.4%, to $6.3 million compared to $8.8 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2010. Interest expense associated with outstanding debt decreased by
$0.7 million to $6.0 million as compared to $6.7 million in the prior years period. This decrease
is primarily attributable to a decrease in the borrowing base due to the pay-down of approximately
$48.3 million of outstanding debt compared to the prior year. Additionally, interest expense
decreased by $1.8 million related to the fair value of the May 2005 Option. The following summary
details the components of our interest expense, net of interest income (dollars in thousands):

Income
Taxes. We recorded income tax expense of $2.1 million for the three months ended March
31, 2011, compared to an income tax benefit of $0.0 million for the three months ended March 31,
2010. The change is primarily due to the increase in pre-tax income
of $18.4 million as compared to
the period ended March 31, 2010.
Station Operating Income. As a result of the factors described above, Station Operating
Income for the three months ended March 31, 2011 increased $3.9 million, or 23.6%, to $20.3 million
compared to $16.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010.
Station Operating Income consists of operating income before depreciation and amortization,
LMA fees, non-cash stock compensation expense, corporate general and administrative expenses, the
gain on exchange of assets or stations and the realized loss on derivative instrument. Station
Operating Income should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income, operating
income, cash flows from operating activities or any other measure for determining our operating
performance or liquidity that is calculated in accordance with GAAP. We exclude depreciation and
amortization due to the insignificant investment in tangible assets required to operate our
stations and the relatively insignificant amount of intangible assets subject to amortization. We
exclude LMA fees from this measure, even though they require a cash commitment, due to the
insignificance and temporary nature of such fees. Corporate expenses, despite representing an
additional significant cash commitment, are excluded in an effort to present the operating
20
performance of our stations exclusive of the corporate resources employed. Finally, we exclude
non-cash stock compensation, the gain on exchange of assets or stations and the realized loss on
derivative instrument from the measure as they do not represent cash payments for activities
related to the operation of the stations. We believe this is important to investors because it
highlights the gross margin generated by our station portfolio.
We believe that Station Operating Income is the most frequently used financial measure in
determining the market value of a radio station or group of stations and to compare the performance
of radio station operators. We have observed that Station Operating Income is commonly employed by
firms that provide appraisal services to the broadcasting industry in valuing radio stations.
Further, in connection with our acquisitions, we have used Station Operating Income as our primary
metric to evaluate and negotiate the purchase price to be paid. Given its relevance to the
estimated value of a radio station, we believe, and our experience indicates, that investors
consider the measure to be useful in order to determine the value of our portfolio of stations.
Additionally, Station Operating Income is one of the measures that our management uses to evaluate
the performance and results of our stations. Our management uses the measure to assess the
performance of our station managers, and our Board of Directors uses it as part of its assessment
of the relative performance of our executive management. As a result, in disclosing Station
Operating Income, we are providing investors with an analysis of our performance that is consistent
with that which is utilized by our management and our Board of Directors.
Station Operating Income is not a recognized term under GAAP and does not purport to be an
alternative to operating income from continuing operations as a measure of operating performance or
to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. Additionally, Station Operating
Income is not intended to be a measure of cash flow available for dividends, reinvestment in our
business or other discretionary use, as it does not consider certain cash requirements such as
interest payments, tax payments and debt service requirements. Station Operating Income should be
viewed as a supplement to, and not a substitute for, results of operations presented on the basis
of GAAP. We compensate for the limitations of using Station Operating Income by using it only to
supplement our GAAP results to provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends
affecting our business than GAAP results alone. Station Operating Income has its limitations as an
analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our
results as reported under GAAP. Moreover, because not all companies use identical calculations,
these presentations of Station Operating Income may not be comparable to other similarly titled
measures of other companies.

Operating Income to operating income as presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity Considerations
We believe the remainder of 2011 will exhibit a pattern fairly consistent with that of the
prior year, and we anticipate modest growth for the radio industry overall. However, unlike 2010,
where growth was driven primarily by increases in automotive and political advertising, we
anticipate that 2011 growth will be driven by more broad-based increases across all key advertising
categories, as overall local advertising continues to show strength. In addition, we believe that
certain non-core operating factors will impact our liquidity. For example, the expiration of the
interest rate option agreement (the May 2005 Option) that provided Bank of America, N.A. the
right to enter into an underlying swap agreement with us, for two years, from March 13, 2009
through March 13,
21
2011 should provide us with an additional $10.0 million to $12.0 million in free
cash flow during the last three quarters of 2011 over the same prior year period. Additionally, in
accordance with the terms of our credit agreement, dated as of June 7, 2006 (the Existing Credit
Agreement), during the quarter ended March 31, 2011, we made an Excess Cash Flow payment in the
amount of $9.3 million which reduced the interest rate on
borrowings under the Existing Credit Agreement by an additional 50 basis points to 325 basis points
effective March 31, 2011. We currently have up to $20.0 million in revolving loan availability
under the Existing Credit Agreement, subject to any limitations imposed by required compliance with
the covenants thereof (see Liquidity Considerations for further discussion).
Cash Flows provided by Operating Activities
For the three months ended March 31, 2011, net cash provided by operating activities decreased
$2.1 million as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2010. The decrease was primarily due
to a $3.8 million increase in accounts receivable and prepaid
expenses offset by a decrease of $1.7 million in accounts payable and other liabilities due to the timing of certain payments.
Cash Flows used in Investing Activities
For the three months ended March 31, 2011, net cash used in investing activities increased
$1.3 million, primarily due to a $1.0 million increase in costs associated with the pending
acquisitions of CMP and Citadel, an increase in capital expenditures and intangibles of $0.1
million and a decrease of $0.2 million in proceeds received from the sale of assets or stations.
Cash Flows used in Financing Activities
For the three months ended March 31, 2011, net cash used in financing activities increased
$5.7 million, primarily due to the increased levels of repayment of debt in 2011 as compared to the same
period in 2010.
2011 Acquisitions
Ann Arbor, Battle Creek and Canton Asset Exchange
On February 18, 2011, we completed an asset exchange with Clear Channel Communications, Inc.
(Clear Channel). As part of the asset exchange, we acquired eight of Clear Channels radio
stations located in Ann Arbor and Battle Creek, Michigan in exchange for our radio station in
Canton, Ohio. We disposed of two of the Battle Creek stations simultaneously with the closing of
the transaction to comply with the Federal Communications Commissions (FCC) broadcast ownership
limits; WBCK-AM was placed in a trust for the sale of the station to an unrelated third party and
WBFN-AM was donated to Family Life Broadcasting System. The transaction was accounted for as a
business combination in accordance with FASBs guidance. The fair value of the assets acquired in
the exchange was $17.4 million (refer to the table below for the preliminary purchase price
allocation). We incurred approximately $0.2 million in acquisition costs related to this
transaction and expensed them as incurred through earnings within corporate general and
administrative expense. The $4.3 million of goodwill identified in the preliminary purchase price
allocation below is deductible for tax purposes. The results of operations for the Ann Arbor and
Battle Creek stations acquired, which were not material, have been included in our statements of
operations since 2007 when we entered into an LMA with Clear Channel to manage the stations. Prior
to the asset exchange, we did not have any preexisting relationship with Clear Channel with regard
to the Canton market.
In
conjunction with the transactions, we recorded a net gain of $15.2 million, which is
included in gain on exchange of assets or stations in the accompanying statements of operations.

The preliminary allocation of the purchase price was based upon a preliminary valuation, and
our estimates and assumptions are subject to change within the measurement period (up to one year
from the acquisition date). Any such changes may be material. The primary areas of the preliminary
purchase price allocation that are not yet finalized relate to the fair values of certain tangible
and intangible assets, including goodwill. We expect to continue to obtain information to assist it
in finalizing these preliminary valuations during the measurement period.
Pending Acquisitions
On January 31, 2011, we entered into a definitive agreement (the CMP Acquisition Agreement)
to acquire the remaining 75.0% of the equity interests of CMP that we do not currently own.
In connection with the CMP Acquisition, we expect to issue 9,945,714 shares of our common
stock to affiliates of Bain Capital Partners LLC (Bain), the Blackstone Group L.P. (Blackstone)
and Thomas H. Lee Partners (THLee, and together with Bain and Blackstone, the CMP Sellers). In exchange for all of the equity interests in CMP owned by
the CMP Sellers, Blackstone will receive approximately 3.3 million shares of our Class A common
stock and, in order to ensure compliance with FCC broadcast ownership rules, Bain and THLee each
will receive approximately 3.3 million shares of a new class of our non-voting common stock. In
connection with the CMP Acquisition, it is expected that all of the outstanding warrants to
purchase shares of common stock of an indirect wholly-owned
subsidiary of CMP, referred to as Radio Holdings, will be converted into warrants to acquire
8,267,968 shares of our non-voting common stock. Stockholders holding shares representing
approximately 54.0% of our outstanding voting power have agreed to vote in favor of the
transactions necessary to complete the CMP Acquisition, making the requisite stockholder approval
assured.
In addition, on March 9, 2011, we entered into the Citadel Merger Agreement with Citadel,
Cumulus Media Holdings Inc., a direct wholly owned subsidiary of us (Holdco), and Cadet Merger
Corporation, an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of us (Merger Sub).
Pursuant to the Citadel Merger Agreement, at the closing, Merger Sub will merge with and into
Citadel, with Citadel surviving the merger as an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of us (the
Citadel Acquisition). At the effective time of the Citadel Acquisition, each outstanding share of
common stock of Citadel will be converted automatically into the right to receive, at the election
of the holder (subject to certain limitations set forth in the Citadel Merger Agreement), (i)
$37.00 in cash, (ii) 8.525 shares of our common stock, or (iii) a combination thereof (the Citadel
Acquisition Consideration). Additionally, in connection with and prior to the closing of the
Citadel Acquisition, (i) each outstanding unvested option to acquire shares of Citadel common stock
issued under Citadels equity incentive plan will automatically vest, and all outstanding options
at the effective time of this Citadel Acquisition will be deemed exercised pursuant to a cashless
exercise, with the resulting net number of Citadel shares to be converted into the right to receive
the Citadel Acquisition Consideration, and (ii) each outstanding warrant to purchase Citadel common
stock will become exercisable for the Citadel Acquisition Consideration, subject to any applicable
FCC limitations. Holders of unvested restricted shares of Citadel common stock will be eligible to
receive the Citadel Acquisition Consideration for their shares pursuant to the original vesting
schedule for such shares. Elections by Citadel stockholders are subject to adjustment such that the
maximum number of shares of our common stock that may be issued in the Citadel Acquisition is
151,485,282 and the maximum amount of cash payable by us in the Citadel Acquisition is
$1,408,728,600.
Consummation of each of these pending acquisitions is subject to various customary closing
conditions. These include, but are not limited to, (i) regulatory approval by the FCC (ii)
requisite stockholder approvals, (iii) solely with respect to the completion of the Citadel
Acquisition, the expiration or termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino
Antitrust Improvement Act of 1976, as amended, and (iv) the absence of any material adverse effect
on CMP or Citadel, as the case may be, or us. We currently anticipate that the CMP Acquisition will
be completed in mid-2011 and the Citadel Acquisition will be completed prior to
the end of 2011.
The
actual timing for completion of each of these pending transactions will depend upon a number of factors,
including the various conditions set forth in the respective transaction agreements. There can be
no assurance that any of such pending or proposed transactions will be consummated or that, if any
of such transactions is consummated, the timing or terms thereof will be as described herein and as
presently contemplated.
2010 Acquisitions
We did not complete any material acquisitions or dispositions during the three months ended
March 31, 2010.

Existing Credit Agreement
As
of March 31, 2011, our Existing Credit Agreement provided for a term loan facility of $750.0 million,
which had an outstanding balance of approximately $575.8 million as of March 31, 2011, and a
revolving credit facility of $20.0 million, of which no amounts were outstanding as of March 31,
2011.
Our obligations under the Existing Credit Agreement are collateralized by substantially all of
our assets in which a security interest may lawfully be granted (including FCC licenses held by its
subsidiaries), including, without limitation, intellectual property and all of the capital stock of
our direct and indirect subsidiaries. Our obligations under the Existing Credit Agreement are
guaranteed by all of our subsidiaries.
The Existing Credit Agreement contains terms and conditions customary for financing
arrangements of this nature. The term loan facility thereunder had a
maturity date of June 11, 2014. The revolving
credit facility matures on June 7, 2012.
As of March 31, 2011, the interest rate on our outstanding borrowings pursuant to the senior
secured credit facilities was approximately 3.5%.
Events of default in the Existing Credit Agreement include, among others, (a) the failure to
pay when due the obligations owing under the credit facilities; (b) the failure to perform (and not
timely remedy, if applicable) certain covenants; (c) cross-default and cross-acceleration; (d) the
occurrence of bankruptcy or insolvency events; (e) certain judgments against us or any of our
subsidiaries; (f) the loss, revocation or suspension of, or any material impairment in the ability
to use of or more of, any of our material FCC licenses; (g) any representation or warranty made, or
report, certificate or financial statement delivered, to the lenders subsequently proven to have
been incorrect in any material respect; and (h) the occurrence of a change in control (as defined
in the Existing Credit Agreement). Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the lenders may
terminate the loan commitments, accelerate all loans and exercise any of their rights under the
Existing Credit Agreement and the ancillary loan documents as a secured party.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2011, the total leverage ratio covenant requirement was 6.5:1
and the fixed charge coverage ratio requirement was 1.1:1. As of March 31, 2011, the Company was in compliance with all of its required covenants.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2011, we made an Excess Cash Flow Payment (as defined in
the Existing Credit Agreement) under the Existing Credit Agreement in an amount equal to $9.3
million and a principal payment in the amount equal to $7.2 million.
As a part of our refinancing transactions in connection with our pending acquisitions of CMP
and Citadel, on May 13, 2011, and in accordance with the Fifth
Amendment we completed our offering of $610.0 million of Notes. Proceeds from
the sale of the Notes were used, among other things, to repay the $575.8 million outstanding under
the term loan facility under the Existing Credit Agreement.
Interest
accrues on the Notes at a rate of 7.75% per annum from May 13,
2011, and interest is payable semiannually on each May 1 and
November 1, commencing November 1, 2011. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if Citadel Merger Agreement is terminated without
consummation of the Citadel Acquisition or if we and Citadel both publicly announce our
determination not to proceed with the Citadel Acquisition, then interest on the Notes will accrue
at a rate of 8.25% per annum from and after the effective date of such termination or
announcement. The Notes mature on May 1, 2019.
We may redeem all or part of the Notes at any time on or after May 1, 2015. At any time prior
to May 1, 2014, we may also redeem up to 35% of the Notes using the proceeds from certain equity
offerings. At any time prior to May 1, 2015, we may redeem some or all of the Notes at a price
equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus a make-whole premium. Further, if the Citadel Merger
Agreement is terminated without consummation of the Citadel Acquisition and neither CMP nor any of
its subsidiaries has become a restricted subsidiary under the indenture governing the Notes, during
each 12-month period commencing on the date of such termination to
the third anniversary thereof, or such earlier time as CMP or any of its subsidiaries becomes a restricted
subsidiary under such indenture, we may redeem up to 10.0% of the original aggregate principal
amount of the Notes at a redemption price of 103.0%. If we sell certain assets or experience
specific kinds of changes in control, we will be required to make an offer to purchase the Notes.
Each of our existing and future domestic restricted subsidiaries that guarantees our
indebtedness or indebtedness of our subsidiary guarantors (other than our subsidiaries that hold
the licenses for our radio stations) guarantees, and will guarantee, the Notes. Under certain
circumstances, the Notes may be assumed by a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of ours, in which case
we will guarantee the Notes. The Notes are our senior unsecured obligations and rank equally in
right of payment to all of our existing and future senior unsecured debt and senior in right
24
of payment to all of our future subordinated debt. The Note guarantees are our guarantors senior
unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment to all of our guarantors existing and
future senior debt and senior in right of payment to all of our guarantors future subordinated
debt. The Notes and the guarantees are effectively subordinated to any of our or the guarantors
existing and future secured debt to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt. In
addition, the Notes and the guarantees are structurally subordinated to all indebtedness and other
liabilities, including preferred stock, of our non-guarantor subsidiaries, including all of the
liabilities of our and the guarantors foreign subsidiaries and our subsidiaries that hold the
licenses for our radio stations.
In connection with the completion of the offering of Notes, we entered
into the Fifth Amendment, which took effect on May 13, 2011. The Fifth
Amendment provided us the ability to complete the offering of Notes, provided that proceeds
therefrom were used to repay in full the term loans outstanding under the Existing Credit
Agreement. In addition, the Fifth Amendment, among other things, provides for an incremental term
loan facility of up to $200.0 million, which may only be accessed to repurchase Notes under certain
circumstances, (i) replaced the total leverage ratio in the Existing Credit Agreement with a
secured leverage ratio and (ii) amended certain definitions in the Existing Credit Agreement to
facilitate our ability to complete the offering of Notes.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
At March 31, 2011, 100% of our long-term debt bore interest at variable rates. Accordingly, as
of such date our earnings and after-tax cash flow were affected by changes in interest rates.
Assuming the then-current level of borrowings at variable rates and assuming a one percentage point
change in the average interest rate under these borrowings, it is estimated that our interest
expense and net income would have changed by $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31,
2011. As part of our efforts to mitigate interest rate risk, in May 2005, we entered into a
forward-starting (effective March 2006) LIBOR-based interest rate swap agreement that effectively
fixed the interest rate, based on LIBOR, on $400.0 million of our current floating rate bank
borrowings for a three-year period. In May 2005, we also entered into the May 2005 Option,
exercised on March 11, 2009 and expired on March 13, 2011, in accordance with the terms of the
original agreement. This instrument was intended to reduce our exposure to interest rate
fluctuations and was not entered into for speculative purposes. Assuming a one percentage point
change in the average interest rate under these borrowings, it is estimated that our interest
expense and net income would have changed by $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31,
2011.
Subsequent to March 31, 2011, we repaid all of our variable interest rate debt through the
issuance of the Notes, which bear interest at a fixed interest rate.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
We maintain a set of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and
15(d)-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Exchange Act) designed to
ensure that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the
Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in
Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms. Such disclosure controls and procedures are
designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports we file or submit under the
Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chairman, President
and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer (CFO),
as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. At the end of the period
covered by this report, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the
participation of our management, including our CEO and CFO, of the effectiveness of the design and
operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, the CEO and CFO have
concluded our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2011.
There were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal
quarter ended March 31, 2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially
affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
On March 14, 2011, a putative shareholder class action complaint was filed against Citadel,
its board of directors (the Citadel Board), and us in the District Court of Clark County, Nevada,
generally alleging that the Citadel Board breached its fiduciary duties to Citadel stockholders in
connection with its approval of the Citadel Acquisition and breached its duty of disclosure to
Citadel stockholders by allegedly withholding material information relating to the Citadel
Acquisition, and also alleged that Citadel and us each aided and abetted the Citadel Board in its
alleged breach of its fiduciary duties. The complaint seeks, among other things, an injunction
against the consummation of the Citadel Acquisition or rescission of the Citadel Acquisition in the
event it is consummated. We intend to vigorously defend our self against the allegations in the
complaint.
On March 23, 2011, a second putative class action complaint was filed in the District Court of
Clark County, Nevada, against Citadel, the Citadel Board, us, Holdco
and Merger Sub (Holdco and Merger Sub, collectively, the Merger
Entities). The complaint
generally alleges that the Citadel Board breached its fiduciary duties to Citadel shareholders in
connection with its approval of the Citadel Acquisition and that Citadel, us and the Merger
Entities aided and abetted the Citadel Boards alleged breach of its fiduciary duties. The
complaint seeks, among other things, an injunction against the consummation of the Citadel
Acquisition, rescission of the Citadel Acquisition in the event it is consummated, and any
damages arising from the defendants alleged breaches. We and the Merger Entities intend to
vigorously defend ourselves against the allegations in the complaint.
On
May 6, 2011, a third putative class action complaint was filed in the Chancery Court of
Delaware against Citadel, the Citadel Board, Cumulus and the Merger
Entities. The complaint alleges,
among other things, that the members of the Citadel Board breached their fiduciary duties to the
Citadel shareholders by their approval of the Citadel Acquisition.
The complaint further alleges that
we and the Merger Entities knowingly aided and abetted the Citadel Boards breach of fiduciary
duties. The complaint seeks, among other things: (i) the courts declaration that the lawsuit is
properly maintainable as a class action; (ii) an injunction against the consummation of the Citadel
Acquisition; (iii) rescission of the Citadel Acquisition, to the extent certain terms have already
been implemented; (iv) that the Citadel Board account to the plaintiffs for all damages suffered as a
result of the Citadel Boards alleged wrongdoing; and (v) the award of reasonable attorneys fees.
We and the Merger Entities intend to vigorously defend themselves
against the allegations in this complaint.
Cumulus was previously a party to a lawsuit, filed on January 21, 2010, by Brian Mas, a former
employee of a subsidiary of CMP. Pursuant to a stipulation and order filed on March 4, 2011,
Cumulus was dismissed as a defendant in that suit, and CMP was substituted in lieu of Cumulus as
the named defendant.
From time to time we are involved in various legal proceedings that are handled and defended
in the ordinary course of business. While we are unable to predict the outcome of these matters,
our management does not believe, based upon currently available facts, that the ultimate resolution
of any such known proceedings would have a material adverse effect on our overall financial condition or
results of operations.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Please refer to Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors, in our annual report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 2010, and the information contained under the heading Risk Factors in
Exhibit 99.1 to our current report on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC on April 25, 2011, for
information regarding factors that could affect our results of operations, financial condition and
liquidity.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
On May 21, 2008, our Board of Directors authorized the purchase, from time to time, of up to
$75.0 million of our Class A Common Stock, subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement and
compliance with other applicable legal requirements. During the three months ended March 31, 2011,
we did not purchase any shares of our Class A Common Stock. As of March 31, 2011, we had authority
to repurchase an additional $68.3 million of our Class A Common Stock.
