INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REVIEW REPORT
The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Emmis Communications Corporation and Subsidiaries
We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet
of Emmis Communications Corporation (an Indiana corporation) and Subsidiaries as
of August 31, 2002, and the related condensed consolidated statements of
operations for the three-month and six-month periods ended August 31, 2002, and
the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six-month period
ended August 31, 2002. We have also reviewed the accompanying condensed
consolidated balance sheet of Emmis Operating Company (an Indiana corporation
and wholly owned subsidiary of Emmis Communications Corporation) and
Subsidiaries as of August 31, 2002, and the related condensed consolidated
statements of operations for the three-month and six-month periods ended August
31, 2002, and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the
six-month period ended August 31, 2002. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Companies' management. The condensed consolidated balance
sheet, statement of operations, and statement of cash flows of both Emmis
Communications Corporation and Subsidiaries and Emmis Operating Company and
Subsidiaries as of August 31, 2001, and for the three-month and six-month
periods then ended, were reviewed by other accountants who have ceased
operations. Those accountants' report (dated September 26, 2001) stated that
they were not aware of any material modifications that should be made to those
statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States.
We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim
financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to
financial data, and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and
accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in
accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States,
which will be performed for the full year with the objective of expressing an
opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do
not express such an opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications
that should be made to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial
statements as of August 31, 2002, and for the three-month and six-month periods
then ended for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States.

EMMIS COMMUNICATIONS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
AND EMMIS OPERATING COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
August 31, 2002
(Unaudited)
Note 1. General
Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission, the condensed consolidated interim financial statements
included herein have been prepared, without audit, by Emmis Communications
Corporation ("ECC") and its subsidiaries (collectively, "our," "us," "Emmis" or
the "Company") and by Emmis Operating Company and its subsidiaries (collectively
"EOC"). Unless otherwise noted, all disclosures contained in the Notes to
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q apply to Emmis and
EOC. As permitted under the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission, certain information and footnote disclosures normally
included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or
omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations; however, Emmis believes that the
disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The
condensed consolidated financial statements included herein should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto
included in the Company's Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended
February 28, 2002. The Company's results are subject to seasonal fluctuations.
Therefore, results shown on an interim basis are not necessarily indicative of
results for a full year.
In the opinion of Emmis and EOC, respectively, the accompanying
condensed consolidated interim financial statements contain all material
adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to
present fairly the consolidated financial position of Emmis and EOC at August
31, 2002 and the results of their operations for the three and six months ended
August 31, 2001 and 2002 and their cash flows for the six months ended August
31, 2001 and 2002.
Note 2. Accounting Policies
Basic and Diluted Net Income Per Common Share
EMMIS
Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing net income
available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares
outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per common share reflects the
potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue
common stock were exercised or converted. Potentially dilutive securities at
August 31, 2001 and 2002 consisted of stock options and the 6.25% Series A
cumulative convertible preferred stock. Neither the 6.25% Series A cumulative
convertible preferred stock nor the stock options are included in the
calculation of diluted net income per common share for the three and six months
ended August 31, 2001 and 2002 as the effect of their conversion to common stock
would be antidilutive. Weighted average shares excluded from the calculation of
diluted net income per share that would result from the conversion of the 6.25%
Series A cumulative convertible preferred stock and the conversion of stock
options amounted to approximately 4.4 and 3.8 million shares for the three
months ended August 31, 2001 and 2002, respectively, and 4.3 and 4.0 million
shares for the six months ended August 31, 2001 and 2002, respectively.
EOC
Because EOC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Emmis, disclosure of
earnings per share for EOC is not required.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the August 31, 2001 and
February 28, 2002 financial statements to be consistent with the August 31, 2002
presentation. The reclassifications have no impact on net income or retained
earnings previously reported.
Advertising Costs
The Company defers major advertising campaigns for which future
benefits are demonstrated. These costs are amortized over the shorter of the
estimated period benefited (generally six months) or the remainder of the fiscal
year. The Company had deferred an immaterial amount of these costs as of August
31, 2002 and August 31, 2001.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS
No. 141, "Business Combinations." Statement No. 141 addresses financial
accounting and reporting for business combinations and supersedes Accounting
Principle Board ("APB") Opinion No. 16, "Business Combinations" and FASB
Statement No. 38, "Accounting for Preacquisition Contingencies of Purchased
Enterprises." Statement No. 141 is effective for all business combinations
initiated after June 30, 2001 and eliminates the pooling-of-interest method of
accounting for business combinations except for qualifying business combinations
that were initiated prior to July 1, 2001. Statement No. 141 also changes the
criteria to recognize intangible assets apart from goodwill. The Company adopted
this Statement on July 1, 2001. The Company has historically used the purchase
method to account for all business combinations and adoption of this Statement
did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position, cash flows
or results of operations.
In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets". See Note 3 for a discussion of
Statement No. 142.
In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset
Retirement Obligations" that applies to legal obligations associated with the
retirement of a tangible long-lived asset that results from the acquisition,
construction, development and/or the normal operation of a long-lived asset.
Under this standard, guidance is provided on measuring and recording the
liability. Adoption of this Statement by the Company will be effective on March
1, 2003. The Company does not believe that the adoption of this Statement will
materially impact the Company's financial position, cash flows or results of
operations.
Effective March 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 144 "Accounting
for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" which addresses financial
accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets.
While SFAS No. 144 supersedes SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of," it removes
certain assets such as deferred tax assets, goodwill and intangible assets not
being amortized from its scope and retains the requirements of SFAS No. 121
regarding the recognition of impairment losses on other long-lived assets held
for use. SFAS No. 144 also supersedes the accounting and reporting provisions of
APB Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the Results of Operations-Reporting the Effects
of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and
Infrequently Occurring events and Transactions" for the disposal of a segment of
a business. However, SFAS No. 144 retains the requirement in Opinion No. 30 to
report separately discontinued operations and extends that reporting to a
component of an entity that either has been disposed of (by sale, abandonment,
or in a distribution to owners) or is classified as held for sale. The adoption
of this statement did not have a material impact on the Company's financial
position, cash flows or results of operations.
In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, "Rescission of FASB Statements
No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical
Corrections". Statement No. 145 rescinds FASB Statement No. 4, "Reporting Gains
and Losses from Extinguishment of Debt", and an amendment of that Statement, and
FASB Statement No. 64, "Extinguishments of Debt Made to Satisfy Sinking-Fund
Requirements". Statement No. 145 also rescinds FASB Statement No. 44,
"Accounting for Leases", to eliminate an inconsistency between the required
accounting for sale-leaseback transactions and the required accounting for
certain lease modifications that have economic effects that are similar to
sale-leaseback transactions. Statement No. 145 also amends other existing
authoritative pronouncements to make various technical corrections, clarify
meanings, or describe their applicability under changed conditions. Adoption of
this Statement by the Company will be effective on March 1, 2003. Upon adoption
of this statement, the Company believes future write-offs of deferred debt fees
resulting from extinguishments of debt will be recorded as interest expense and
not as an extraordinary charge.
In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs
Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities." Statement No. 146 supersedes
Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 94-3. Statement No. 146 requires that the
liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized
when the liability is incurred, not at the date of an entity's commitment to an
exit or disposal plan. The provisions of Statement No. 146 are effective for
exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. The Company does
not anticipate that the adoption of Statement No. 146 will have a material
impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.
Note 3. Intangible Assets and Goodwill
Effective March 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill
and Other Intangible Assets", which requires the Company to cease amortizing
goodwill and certain intangibles. Instead, these assets will be reviewed at
least annually for impairment, and will be written down and charged to results
of operations in periods in which the recorded value of goodwill and certain
intangibles is more than its fair value. As of the date of adoption, the Company
reflected unamortized goodwill and unamortized FCC licenses in the amounts of
$175.1 million and $1,743.2 million, respectively. FCC licenses are renewed
every eight years for a nominal amount and historically all of our FCC licenses
have been renewed at the end of their respective eight-year periods. Since we
expect that all of our FCC licenses will continue to be renewed in the future,
we believe they have indefinite lives. The Company had previously amortized
these assets over the maximum period allowed of 40 years. Adoption of this
accounting standard eliminated the Company's amortization expense for goodwill
and FCC licenses. For comparison purposes, for the three and six months ended
August 31, 2001, the Company recorded amortization expense for goodwill and FCC
licenses of $16.1 million and $30.0 million, respectively.
The following unaudited pro forma summary presents the Company's
estimate of the effect of the adoption of Statement No. 142 as of the beginning
of the periods presented. Reported income (loss) before extraordinary loss and
accounting change and reported net loss available to common shareholder are
adjusted to eliminate the amortization expense recognized in those periods
related to goodwill and FCC licenses as these assets are not amortized under
this new accounting standard.

INDEFINITE-LIVED INTANGIBLES
Under the guidance in Statement No. 142, the Company's FCC licenses are
considered indefinite-lived intangibles. These assets, which the Company
determined were its only indefinite-lived intangibles, are not subject to
amortization, but will be tested for impairment at least annually. As of August
31, 2002 and February 28, 2002, the carrying amounts of the Company's FCC
licenses were $1,509.0 million and $1,743.2 million, respectively.
In accordance with Statement No. 142, the Company tested these
indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment as of March 1, 2002 by
comparing their fair value to their carrying value at that date. The Company
recognized impairment on its FCC licenses of approximately $145.0 million, net
of $88.8 million in tax benefit, which is recorded as a component of the
cumulative effect of accounting change during the three months ended May 31,
2002. Approximately $14.8 million of the charge, net of tax, related to our
radio segment and $130.2 million of the charge, net of tax, related to our
television segment. The fair value of our FCC licenses used to calculate the
impairment charge was determined by management, using an enterprise valuation
approach. Enterprise value was determined by applying an estimated market
multiple to the broadcast cash flow generated by each reporting unit. Market
multiples were determined based on information available regarding publicly
traded peer companies, recently completed or contemplated transactions within
the industry, and reporting units' competitive position in their respective
markets. Appropriate allocation was made to the tangible assets with the
residual amount representing the estimated fair value of our indefinite lived
intangible assets and goodwill. To the extent the carrying amount of the
indefinite-lived intangible exceeded its fair value, the difference was recorded
in the statement of operations, as described above. In the case of radio, the
Company determined the reporting unit to be all of our stations in a local
market, and in the case of television and publishing, the Company determined the
reporting unit to be each individual station or magazine. Throughout our fiscal
2002, unfavorable economic conditions persisted in the industries in which the
Company engages. These conditions caused customers to reduce the amount of
advertising dollars spent on the Company's media inventory as compared to prior
periods, adversely impacting the cash flow projections used to determine the
fair value of each reporting unit and public trading multiples of media stocks,
resulting in the write-off of a portion of the carrying amount of our FCC
licenses. The required impairment tests may result in future periodic
write-downs.
GOODWILL
Statement No. 142 requires the Company to test goodwill for impairment
at least annually using a two-step process. The first step is a screen for
potential impairment, while the second step measures the amount of impairment.
The Company completed the two-step impairment test during the quarter ended May
31, 2002. As a result of this test, the Company recognized impairment of
approximately $22.4 million, net of $13.8 million in tax benefit, as a component
of the cumulative effect of an accounting change during the three months ended
May 31, 2002. Approximately $18.5 million of the charge, net of tax, related to
our television segment and $3.9 million of the charge, net of tax, related to
our publishing segment. Consistent with the Company's approach to determining
the fair value of our FCC licenses, the enterprise valuation approach was used
to determine the fair value of each of the Company's reporting units, and a
portion of the carrying value of our goodwill was written-off due to reductions
in cash flow and public trading multiples of media stocks resulting from the
unfavorable economic conditions that reduced advertising expenditures throughout
our fiscal 2002. As of August 31, 2002 and February 28, 2002, the carrying
amount of the Company's goodwill was $139.0 million and $175.1 million,
respectively. The required impairment tests may result in future periodic
write-downs.
DEFINITE-LIVED INTANGIBLES
The Company has definite-lived intangible assets recorded that continue
to be amortized in accordance with Statement No. 142. These assets consist
primarily of foreign broadcasting licenses, subscription lists, lease rights,
customer lists and non-compete agreements, all of which are amortized over the
period of time the assets are expected to contribute directly or indirectly to
the Company's future cash flows. In accordance with the transitional
requirements of Statement No. 142, the Company reassessed the useful lives of
these intangibles and determined that no changes to their useful lives were
necessary. The following table presents the gross carrying amount and
accumulated amortization for each major class of definite-lived intangible asset
at February 28, 2002 and August 31, 2002 (dollars in thousands):

Total amortization expense from definite-lived intangibles for the
three and six months ended August 31, 2002 was $1.7 million and $3.6 million,
respectively, and for the year ended February 28, 2002 was $7.6 million. Foreign
currency exchange rate differences reduced the carrying value of the foreign
broadcasting licenses and related accumulated amortization as of August 31, 2002
by $3.8 million and $0.6 million, respectively. The following table presents the

Note 4. Significant Events
Equity Issuance
In April 2002, ECC completed the sale of 4.6 million shares of its
Class A common stock at $26.80 per share resulting in total proceeds of $123.3
million. The net proceeds of $120.3 million were contributed to EOC and 50% of
the net proceeds were used in April 2002 to repay outstanding obligations under
our credit facility. The remainder was invested, and in July 2002 distributed to
ECC and used to redeem approximately 22.6% of ECC's outstanding 12 1/2% senior
discount notes (see below).
In addition, during the three months ended May 31, 2002, 300,000 shares
of Class B common stock were converted to Class A shares.
Dispositions
Effective May 1, 2002 Emmis completed the sale of substantially all of
the assets of KALC-FM in Denver, Colorado to Entercom Communications Corp. for
$88.0 million. Proceeds from the sale were used to repay outstanding term loans
under our credit facility. In connection with the sale, Emmis recorded a loss on
sale of assets of $1.3 million. On February 12, 2002, Emmis entered into a
definitive agreement to sell KALC-FM to Entercom and Entercom began operating
KALC-FM under a time brokerage agreement on March 16, 2002. Entercom paid Emmis
approximately $0.5 million under the time brokerage agreement, which is included
in net revenues in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of
operations. The assets of KALC-FM were reflected as held for sale in the
accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of February 28, 2002. The
$87.7 million of credit facility debt repaid with the net proceeds of the sale
was reflected as a current liability in the accompanying condensed consolidated
balance sheets as of February 28, 2002.
Effective May 1, 2002 Emmis completed the sale of substantially all of
the assets of KXPK-FM in Denver, Colorado to Entravision Communications
Corporation for $47.5 million. Proceeds were used to repay outstanding term
loans under our credit facility. In connection with the sale, Emmis recorded a
gain on sale of assets of $10.2 million. Emmis entered into a definitive
agreement to sell KXPK-FM to Entravision on February 12, 2002. The assets of
KXPK-FM were reflected as held for sale in the accompanying condensed
consolidated balance sheets as of February 28, 2002. The $47.3 million of credit
facility debt repaid with the net proceeds of the sale was reflected as a
current liability in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as
of February 28, 2002.
Credit Facility Amendment
On June 21, 2002, EOC amended its credit facility to (1) issue a $500.0
million new Term B Loan which was used to repay amounts outstanding under the
existing $552.1 million Term B loan, (2) reset financial covenants for the
remaining term of the credit facility, and (3) permit EOC to make a one time
cash distribution to ECC for the purpose of redeeming a portion of its 12 1/2%
senior discount notes.
The existing Term B Loan was repaid, in full, with the proceeds from
the new Term B Loan and borrowings under the credit facility's revolving line of
credit (Revolver). The new Term B Loan has the same terms as the existing Term B
loan except that the applicable margin over the Eurodollar Rate Loan decreased
from a maximum of 3.5% to a maximum of 2.5%. In connection with the repayment of
the existing Term B Loan, the company recorded a $0.5 million extraordinary
charge, net of taxes of $0.3 million, relating to the write off of deferred debt
fees.
The amendment also decreased the total and senior leverage ratios (debt
divided by pro forma EBITDA, as defined in the credit agreement) during the
initial periods subsequent to the amendment and increased the total and senior
leverage ratios in future periods. The interest coverage ratio requirement
increased immediately following the effective date of the amendment but
decreased in future periods, as compared to the previous requirements. The pro
forma fixed charge coverage ratio requirement increased for the term of the
credit facility. These changes to the financial covenants are applicable to the
Revolver, Term A Loan and new Term B Loan.
Discount Notes Redemption
On July 1, 2002, ECC redeemed approximately 22.6% of its $370.0
million, face value, 12 1/2% Senior Discount Notes due 2011. Approximately $60.1
million of the proceeds from the Company's April 2002 equity offering were used
to repay approximately $53.4 million of the carrying value of the discount notes
at July 1, 2002 and pay approximately $6.7 million for a redemption premium. The
redemption premium and approximately $1.6 million of deferred debt fees related
to the discount notes, net of taxes of $0.8 million, were recorded as an
extraordinary charge in our quarter ended August 31, 2002 in the accompanying
condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Discontinuation of LMIV
In the quarter ended August 31, 2002, the Company and other partners in
the local media internet venture (LMIV) agreed to dissolve the joint venture.
Consequently, in addition to recording our share of LMIV's losses for the
quarter, the Company recorded a $2.1 million charge to write off our investment
in LMIV. This charge is reflected in loss from unconsolidated affiliates in the
accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company will
continue an internet presence independent of LMIV.

The majority of the translation adjustment for the three and six months ended

we have a 75% ownership interest in two radio stations.
Note 6. Segment Information
The Company's operations are aligned into three business segments:
Radio, Television, and Publishing and Other. These business segments are
consistent with the Company's management of these businesses and its financial
reporting structure. Corporate represents expense not allocated to reportable
segments.
The Company's segments operate primarily in the United States with one
radio station located in Hungary and two radio stations located in Argentina.
Total revenues of the radio station in Hungary for the three months ended August
31, 2001 and 2002 were $2.1 million and $2.7 million, respectively, and total
revenues for the six months ended August 31, 2001 and 2002 were $3.2 million and
$4.4 million, respectively. The carrying value of long lived assets of this
radio station as of August 31, 2001 and 2002 was $8.4 million and $6.4 million,
respectively. Total revenues of our two radio stations in Buenos Aires,
Argentina for the three months ended August 31, 2001 and 2002 were $2.4 million
and $0.4 million, respectively, and total revenues for the six months ended
August 31, 2001 and 2002 were $4.3 million and $0.9 million, respectively. The
carrying value of long lived assets of these radio stations as of August 31,
2001 and 2002 was $18.0 million and $4.7 million, respectively.
The Company evaluates performance of its operating entities based on
broadcast cash flow (BCF) and publishing cash flow (PCF). Management believes
that BCF and PCF are useful because they provide a meaningful comparison of
operating performance between companies in the industry and serve as an
indicator of the market value of a group of stations or publishing entities. BCF
and PCF are generally recognized by the broadcast and publishing industries as a
measure of performance and are used by analysts who report on the performance of
broadcasting and publishing groups. BCF and PCF do not take into account Emmis'
debt service requirements and other commitments and, accordingly, BCF and PCF
are not necessarily indicative of amounts that may be available for dividends,
reinvestment in Emmis' business or other discretionary uses.
BCF and PCF are not measures of liquidity or of performance in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States,
and should be viewed as a supplement to, and not a substitute for, our results
of operations presented on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States. Moreover, BCF and PCF are not standardized measures and
may be calculated in a number of ways. Thus, our calculation of these non-GAAP
measures may not be comparable to such non-GAAP measures calculated by other
companies. Emmis defines BCF and PCF as revenues net of agency commissions and
station operating expenses, excluding noncash compensation. The primary source
of broadcast advertising revenues is the sale of advertising time to local and
national advertisers. Publishing entities derive revenue from subscriptions,
newsstand sales and the sale of print advertising.
The most significant station operating expenses, excluding noncash
compensation are employee salaries and commissions, costs associated with
programming, advertising and promotion, costs associated with producing a
magazine, and station general and administrative costs.
The accounting policies as described in the summary of significant
accounting policies included in the Company's Annual Report filed on Form 10-K
for the year ended February 28, 2002 and in Note 2 to these condensed
consolidated financial statements, are applied consistently across segments.
Unless otherwise noted, all information pertaining to segments applies to
Emmis and EOC.

Note 7. Financial Information for Subsidiary Guarantors
and Subsidiary Non-Guarantors of Emmis Operating Company
The 8 1/8% senior subordinated notes of EOC are fully and
unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by certain direct and
indirect subsidiaries of EOC (the "Subsidiary Guarantors"). As of February 28,
2002 and August 31, 2002, subsidiaries holding EOC's interest in its radio
stations in Hungary and Argentina, as well as certain other subsidiaries (such
as those conducting joint ventures with third parties), did not guarantee the
senior subordinated notes (the "Subsidiary Non-Guarantors"). The claims of
creditors of the Subsidiary Non-Guarantors have priority over the rights of EOC
to receive dividends or distributions from such subsidiaries.
Presented below is condensed consolidating financial information for
the EOC Parent Company Only, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Subsidiary
Non-Guarantors as of February 28, 2002 and August 31, 2002 and for the three and
six months ended August 31, 2001 and 2002. EOC uses the equity method with
respect to investments in subsidiaries.

Note 8. Regulatory, International and Other Matters
We acquired KGMB-TV in Honolulu, Hawaii as part of the Lee acquisition
in October 2000. Because we already owned KHON-TV in Honolulu, and both KHON and
KGMB were rated among the top four television stations in the Honolulu market,
FCC regulations prohibited us from owning both stations. However, we received a
temporary waiver from the FCC that has allowed us to operate both stations (and
their related "satellite" stations). The FCC recently commenced an extensive
review of its ownership rules, including the rule that prohibits our ownership
of the two Hawaii stations, to determine whether the ownership restrictions
continue to serve the public interest. We have requested a stay of divestiture
until the FCC completes its review of the ownership rules and are currently
awaiting the FCC's decision on our request. No assurances can be given that the
FCC will grant us the stay of divestiture and we may need to sell one of the two
stations in Hawaii.
FCC regulations require all commercial television stations in the
United States to start broadcasting in digital format by May 2002 and to abandon
their present analog format by 2006. Five of our television stations were
broadcasting in digital format by the May 2002 deadline and the remainder were
granted extensions to November 2002. We expect several of our other stations to
meet the November 2002 deadline and have requested an additional six month
extension for the rest. Based upon the FCC's treatment of certain broadcasters
who were not granted extensions to the original May 2002 deadline, we believe
that the FCC will first issue a formal admonishment to any broadcaster whose
extension request is denied and then issue a monetary forfeiture if the station
has not commenced digital broadcasting within six months of the date of the
FCC's admonishment. We cannot predict the extent of the monetary fine, nor can
we predict the other actions the FCC will take if the station does not commence
digital broadcasts within six months after the date of the fine. Nonetheless, we
believe all of our stations (other than five of our satellite stations for which
we believe the continued delay is based upon conditions largely outside our
control) will have commenced digital broadcasts by May 2003.
Four of our CBS affiliation agreements and one of our NBC affiliation
agreements have expired. We are currently in negotiations with CBS and NBC to
renew these affiliation agreements and we expect them all to be renewed. The NBC
renewal agreement is expected to also cover our other NBC affiliated stations
whose affiliation agreements have not yet expired. We do not expect the terms of
the renewed affiliation agreements to have an adverse material impact on our
results of operations.
Instead of making a required license payment to the Hungarian
government in November 2001, our 59.5% owned national radio station in Hungary
requested a modification of the broadcast contract and ultimately filed suit in
arbitration court seeking reformation of the contract and requesting that the
payments be reduced. Subsequently, the arbitration court granted our request to
withdraw our claim and terminated the arbitration. The Hungarian government
issued an order revoking our station's broadcast license for non-payment of the
license fee, and we appealed the order in the Hungarian ordinary court, which
ruled in our favor in September 2002. The Hungarian government also filed an
action seeking to liquidate our Hungarian broadcast company, but this action was
denied by the court. We continue to seek an equitable resolution to this matter.
If it is not resolved in a reasonable period of time, it is unlikely we will
continue to operate the station under the present fee arrangement. We do not
expect an adverse material financial impact to Emmis or EOC if the station does
not continue to operate.
The Company is a party to various other legal proceedings arising in
the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management of the Company,
however, there are no legal proceedings pending against the Company likely to
have a material adverse effect on the Company.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
Note: Certain statements included in this report or in the financial statements
contained herein which are not statements of historical fact, including but not
limited to those identified with the words "expect," "will" or "look" are
intended to be, and are, by this Note, identified as "forward-looking
statements," as defined in the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may
cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be
materially different from any future result, performance or achievement
expressed or implied by such forward-looking statement. Such factors include,
among others, general economic and business conditions; fluctuations in the
demand for advertising; our ability to service our outstanding debt; increased
competition in our markets and the broadcasting industry; our ability to attract
and secure programming, on-air talent, writers and photographers; inability to
obtain necessary approvals for purchases or sale transactions or to complete the
transactions; changes in the costs of programming; inability to grow through
suitable acquisitions, including desired radio acquisitions; new or changing
regulations of the Federal Communications Commission or other governmental
agencies; competition from new or different technologies; war, terrorist acts or
political instability; and other factors mentioned in other documents filed by
the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Emmis does not
undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking
statements because of new information, future events or otherwise.
GENERAL
The Company evaluates performance of its operating entities based on
broadcast cash flow (BCF) and publishing cash flow (PCF). Management believes
that BCF and PCF are useful because they provide a meaningful comparison of
operating performance between companies in the industry and serve as an
indicator of the market value of a group of stations or publishing entities. BCF
and PCF are generally recognized by the broadcast and publishing industries as a
measure of performance and are used by analysts who report on the performance of
broadcasting and publishing groups.
BCF and PCF are not measures of liquidity or of performance in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States,
and should be viewed as a supplement to, and not a substitute for, our results
of operations presented on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States. Specifically, BCF and PCF do not take into account Emmis'
debt service requirements and other commitments and, accordingly, BCF and PCF
are not necessarily indicative of amounts that may be available for dividends,
reinvestment in Emmis' business or other discretionary uses. Moreover, BCF and
PCF are not standardized measures and may be calculated in a number of ways.
Thus, our calculation of these non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to such
non-GAAP measures calculated by other companies. Emmis defines BCF and PCF as
revenues net of agency commissions and station operating expenses, excluding
noncash compensation.
The primary source of broadcast advertising revenues is the sale of
advertising time to local and national advertisers. Publishing entities derive
revenue from subscriptions, newsstand sales and the sale of print advertising.
Broadcasting revenue is recognized as advertisements are aired. Publication
revenue is recognized in the month of delivery of the publication. The most
significant station operating expenses are employee salaries and commissions,
costs associated with programming, advertising and promotion, and station
general and administrative costs.
The Company's results are subject to seasonal fluctuations. Therefore,
results shown on a quarterly basis are not necessarily indicative of results for
a full year.
Unless otherwise noted, all disclosures contained in the Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in this
Form 10-Q apply to Emmis and EOC.
Critical Accounting Policies:
Critical accounting policies are defined as those that encompass
significant judgments and uncertainties, and potentially derive materially
different results under different assumptions and conditions. We believe that
our critical accounting policies are those described below.
Impairment of Goodwill and Indefinite-lived Intangibles
The annual impairment tests for goodwill and indefinite-lived
intangibles under SFAS No. 142 require us to make certain assumptions in
determining fair value, including assumptions about the cash flow growth rates
of our businesses. Additionally, the fair values are significantly impacted by
macro-economic factors, including market multiples at the time the impairment
tests are performed. Accordingly, we may incur additional impairment charges in
future periods under SFAS No. 142 to the extent we do not achieve our expected
cash flow growth rates, or to the extent that market values decrease.
Allocations for Purchased Assets
We typically engage an independent appraisal firm to value assets
acquired in a material acquisition. We use the appraisal report to allocate the
purchase price of the acquisition. To the extent that purchased assets are not
allocated appropriately, depreciation and amortization expense could be
misstated.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Our allowance for doubtful accounts requires us to estimate losses
resulting from our customers' inability to make payments. We specifically review
historical write-off activity by market, large customer concentrations, and
changes in our customer payment patterns when evaluating the adequacy of the
allowance for doubtful accounts. If the financial condition of our customers
were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make
payments, then additional allowances may be required.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31, 2002
COMPARED TO AUGUST 31, 2001
In April 2002, we sold 4.6 million shares of Class A common stock,
raising $120.3 million in net proceeds. One half of the proceeds was used in
April 2002 to repay outstanding indebtedness under our credit facility and the
remaining half of the proceeds was used in July 2002 to redeem 22.6% of ECC's 12
1/2% senior discount notes due 2011. In May 2002, we sold KALC-FM to Entercom
Communications Corp. for $88.0 million and KXPK-FM to Entravision Communications
Corporation for $47.5 million. The proceeds from the sales were used to repay
outstanding term loans under our credit facility. These transactions impact the
comparability of operating results period over period.

NET REVENUES:
Radio net revenues for the three months ended August 31, 2002 decreased
$4.2 million, or 5.7%, and decreased $7.6 million, or 5.4% for the six months
ended August 31, 2002. On a pro forma basis (assuming the Denver radio asset
sales had occurred on March 1, 2001), radio net revenues for the three months
ended August 31, 2002 would have decreased $1.0 million, or 1.4%, and decreased
$2.4 million, or 1.8% for the six months ended August 31, 2002. Radio net
revenues were negatively impacted by the devaluation of the peso in Argentina,
as international radio net revenues for the three months ended August 31, 2002
decreased $1.4 million, or 30.6%, and decreased $2.2 million, or 28.7% for the
six months ended August 31, 2002. Domestic radio net revenues were negatively
impacted by the results of our New York market due to a format change within the
market by one of our competitors. The negative impact in our New York market,
which represents approximately 30% of our radio net revenues, was offset by
strength in our other markets.
Television net revenues for the three months ended August 31, 2002
increased $2.6 million, or 4.8% and increased $5.7 million, or 5.4% for the six
months ended August 31, 2002. Included in net revenues in the three months ended
August 31, 2001 is approximately $4 million attributable to our television
division earning a performance guaranty when our national sales rep agency did
not achieve certain performance targets in the quarter. Excluding this item,
television net revenues would have increased 12.9% and 9.7% for the three and
six months ended August 31, 2002, respectively. This increase is due to our
television stations selling a higher percentage of their inventory and charging
higher rates, coupled with approximately $2.0 million and $4.3 million of
political advertising net revenues in the three and six months ended August 31,
2002, respectively.
Publishing revenues for the three months ended August 31, 2002
increased $0.2 million, or 1.2% and decreased $1.0 million, or 2.7% for the six
months ended August 31, 2002. This decrease is due to lower advertising and
newsstand revenues at our publications. Our publishing business has not seen the
same level of recovery in advertisement spending that, in general, our radio and
television businesses have experienced.
On a consolidated basis, net revenues for the three months ended August
31, 2002 decreased $1.4 million, or 1.0%, and decreased $2.9 million, or 1.0%
for the six months ended August 31, 2002 due to the effect of the items
described above. On a pro forma basis, net revenues for the three months ended
August 31, 2002 increased $1.8 million, or 1.3%, and increased $2.4 million, or
0.9% for the six months ended August 31, 2002 due to the effect of the items
described above.
STATION OPERATING EXPENSES, EXCLUDING NONCASH COMPENSATION:
Radio station operating expenses, excluding noncash compensation,
decreased $2.7 million, or 7.2% for the three months ended August 31, 2002, and
decreased $5.3 million, or 7.1% for the six months ended August 31, 2002. On a
pro forma basis (assuming the Denver radio asset sales had occurred on March 1,
2001), radio station operating expenses, excluding noncash compensation, for the
three and six months ended August 31, 2002 would have decreased $0.8 million, or
2.2% and $1.8 million, or 2.6% respectively. Radio station operating expenses,
excluding noncash compensation decreased due to the implementation of our stock
compensation program in December 2001, whereby each full-time employee's salary
was reduced by at least 10% and supplemented with a corresponding stock grant.
Television station operating expenses, excluding noncash compensation,
for the three and six months ended August 31, 2002 increased $1.3 million, or
3.7% and $2.2 million, or 3.1% respectively. This increase is due to higher
programming, promotion and sales-related costs, partially offset by the impact
of our stock compensation program.
Publishing operating expenses, excluding noncash compensation,
decreased $0.1 million, or 0.6% for the three months ended August 31, 2002 and
decreased $2.0 million, or 6.2% for the six months ended August 31, 2002, due to
cost control measures and our stock compensation program.
On a consolidated basis, station operating expenses, excluding noncash
compensation, for three and six months ended August 31, 2002 decreased $1.6
million, or 1.8%, and $5.2 million, or 2.9% respectively, due to the effect of
the items described above. On a pro forma basis, station operating expenses,
excluding noncash compensation, for three and six months ended August 31, 2002
increased $0.4 million, or 0.4%, and decreased $1.7 million, or 1.0%
respectively, due to the effect of the items described above.
NONCASH COMPENSATION EXPENSES:
Noncash compensation expenses for the three months ended August 31,
2002 were $5.8 million compared to $1.6 million for the same period of the prior
year, an increase of $4.2 million or 263.0%. Noncash compensation expenses for
the six months ended August 31, 2002 were $11.1 million compared to $4.3 million
for the same period of the prior year, an increase of $6.8 million or 157.0%.
Noncash compensation includes compensation expense associated with restricted
common stock issued under employment agreements, common stock contributed to the
Company's Profit Sharing Plan, common stock issued to employees at our
discretion and common stock issued to employees pursuant to our stock
compensation program. Our stock compensation program increased our noncash
compensation expense by approximately $3.8 million and $8.2 million for the
three and six months ended August 31, 2002, respectively. Our stock compensation
program began December 2001; therefore, no expense related to this program was
recorded in the three and six month periods ended August 31, 2001.
CORPORATE EXPENSES, EXCLUDING NONCASH COMPENSATION:
Corporate expenses, excluding noncash compensation, for the three
months ended August 31, 2002 were $5.0 million compared to $4.6 million for the
same period of the prior year, an increase of $0.4 million or 10.5%. Corporate
expenses, excluding noncash compensation, for the six months ended August 31,
2002 were $10.2 million compared to $9.5 million for the same period of the
prior year, an increase of $0.7 million or 6.9%. These costs increased due to
professional fees associated with the amendment to our credit facility and
increases in training and personnel development, partially offset by benefits
from our stock compensation program.
DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION:
Radio depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended
August 31, 2002 was $1.9 million compared to $8.6 million for the same period of
the prior year, a decrease of $6.7 million or 77.6%. Radio depreciation and
amortization expense for the six months ended August 31, 2002 was $4.0 million
compared to $16.5 million for the same period of the prior year, a decrease of
$12.5 million or 75.6%. The decrease was mainly attributable to our adoption on
March 1, 2002 of SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," as
described more fully in Note 3 to the condensed consolidated financial
statements. Adoption of this accounting standard had the impact of eliminating
our amortization expense for goodwill and FCC licenses. For comparison purposes,
for the three and six month periods ended August 31, 2001, we recorded radio
amortization expense for goodwill and FCC licenses of $7.2 million and $13.4
million, respectively.
Television depreciation and amortization expense for the three months
ended August 31, 2002 was $7.0 million compared to $13.2 million for the same
period of the prior year, a decrease of $6.2 million or 46.6%. Television
depreciation and amortization expense for the six months ended August 31, 2002
was $14.0 million compared to $26.3 million for the same period of the prior
year, a decrease of $12.3 million or 46.8%. The decrease was also mainly
attributable to our adoption of SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets For comparison purposes, for the three and six month periods ended August
31, 2001, we recorded television amortization expense for goodwill and FCC
licenses of $7.0 million and $13.9 million, respectively.
Publishing depreciation and amortization expense for the three months
ended August 31, 2002 was $0.5 million compared to $2.1 million for the same
period of the prior year, a decrease of $1.6 million or 78.3%. Publishing
depreciation and amortization expense for the six months ended August 31, 2002
was $1.0 million compared to $4.2 million for the same period of the prior year,
a decrease of $3.2 million or 75.3%. The decrease was also mainly attributable
to our adoption of SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." For
comparison purposes, for the three and six month periods ended August 31, 2001,
we recorded publishing amortization expense for goodwill of $1.9 million and
$2.7 million, respectively.
On a consolidated basis, depreciation and amortization expense for the
three months ended August 31, 2002 was $10.6 million compared to $25.1 million
for the same period of the prior year, a decrease of $14.5 million or 57.8%.
Depreciation and amortization expense for the six months ended August 31, 2002
was $21.4 million compared to $49.2 million for the same period of the prior
year, a decrease of $27.8 million or 56.6%. The decrease was also mainly
attributable to our adoption of SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets." For comparison purposes, for the three and six month periods ended
August 31, 2001, we recorded amortization expense for goodwill and FCC licenses
of $16.1 million and $30.0 million, respectively.
OPERATING INCOME:
Radio operating income for the three months ended August 31, 2002 was
$32.9 million compared to $27.7 million for the same period of the prior year,
an increase of $5.2 million or 18.7%. Radio operating income for the six months
ended August 31, 2002 was $59.1 million compared to $48.5 million for the same
period of the prior year, an increase of $10.6 million or 21.9%. Substantially
all of the increase was attributable to our adoption of SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill
and Other Intangible Assets," as described more fully in Note 3 to the condensed
financial statements. Adoption of this accounting standard had the impact of
eliminating our radio amortization expense for goodwill and FCC licenses, which
totaled $7.2 million in the three months ended August 31, 2001 and $13.4 million
in the six months ended August 31, 2001.
Television operating income for the three months ended August 31, 2002
was $13.1 million compared to $5.7 million for the same period of the prior
year, an increase of $7.4 million or 131.8%. Television operating income for the
six months ended August 31, 2002 was $26.5 million compared to $10.7 million for
the same period of the prior year, an increase of $15.8 million or 147.4%.
Substantially all of the increase was attributable to our adoption of SFAS No.
142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." Adoption of this accounting
standard had the impact of eliminating our television amortization expense for
goodwill and FCC licenses, which totaled $7.0 million in the three months ended
August 31, 2001 and $13.9 million in the six months ended August 31, 2001.
Publishing operating income for the three months ended August 31, 2002
was $1.8 million compared to a loss of $0.1 million for the same period of the
prior year, an increase of $1.9 million or 1,532.8%. Publishing operating income
for the six months ended August 31, 2002 was $3.1 million compared to a loss of
$1.2 million for the same period of the prior year, an increase of $4.3 million
or 351.1%. Substantially all of the increase was attributable to our adoption of
SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." Adoption of this
accounting standard had the impact of eliminating our publishing amortization
expense for goodwill, which totaled $1.9 million in the three months ended
August 31, 2001 and $2.7 million in the six months ended August 31, 2001.
On a consolidated basis, operating income for the three months ended
August 31, 2002 was $35.8 million compared to $25.7 million for the same period
of the prior year, an increase of $10.1 million or 39.5%. Operating income for
the six months ended August 31, 2002 was $65.1 million compared to $41.1 million
for the same period of the prior year, an increase of $24.0 million or 58.4%.
Substantially all of the increase was attributable to our adoption of SFAS No.
142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Adoption of this accounting standard
had the impact of eliminating our amortization expense for goodwill and FCC
licenses, which totaled $16.1 million in the three months ended August 31, 2001
and $30.0 million in the six months ended August 31, 2001.
INTEREST EXPENSE:
With respect to Emmis, interest expense for the three months ended
August 31, 2002 was $26.2 million compared to $32.5 million for the same period
of the prior year, a decrease of $6.3 million or 19.4%. Interest expense for the
six months ended August 31, 2002 was $56.1 million compared to $67.1 million for
the same period of the prior year, a decrease of $11.0 million or 16.4%. This
decrease is primarily attributable to a decrease in the interest rates we pay on
amounts outstanding under our credit facility, which is variable rate debt. The
decreased interest rates reflected both a decrease in the base interest rate for
our credit facility due to a lower overall interest rate environment, and a
decrease in the margin applied to the base rate resulting from the June 2002
credit facility amendment. Additionally, in the quarter ended May 31, 2002, we
repaid amounts outstanding under our credit facility with the proceeds of our
Denver radio asset sales in May 2002 and a portion of the proceeds from our
equity offering in April 2002, with the remaining portion being used to reduce
amounts outstanding under our senior discount notes in the quarter ended August
31, 2002. With respect to EOC, interest expense for the three months ended
August 31, 2002 was $19.8 million compared to $25.6 million for the same period
of the prior year, a decrease of $5.8 million or 22.7%. Interest expense for the
six months ended August 31, 2002 was $42.3 million compared to $55.9 million for
the same period of the prior year, a decrease of $13.6 million or 24.4%. This
decrease is also primarily attributable to a decrease in the interest rates we
pay on amounts outstanding under our credit facility, and repayments of amounts
outstanding under our credit facility. The difference between interest expense
for Emmis and EOC is due to interest expense associated with the senior discount
notes, for which ECC is the obligor, and thus it is excluded from the operations
of EOC.
INCOME (LOSS) BEFORE INCOME TAXES, EXTRAORDINARY LOSS AND ACCOUNTING CHANGE:
With respect to Emmis, income (loss) before income taxes, extraordinary
loss and accounting change increased to $7.2 million for the three months ended
August 31, 2002 from a loss before income taxes, extraordinary loss and
accounting change of $7.8 million for the same period of the prior year. Income
(loss) before income taxes, extraordinary loss and accounting change increased
to $15.0 million for the six months ended August 31, 2002 from a loss before
income taxes, extraordinary loss and accounting change of $26.4 million for the
same period of the prior year. The increase in the income before income taxes,
extraordinary loss and accounting change for the three and six months ended
August 31, 2002 is mainly attributable to: (1) the elimination of our
amortization expense for goodwill and broadcasting licenses of $16.1 million and
$30.0 million, respectively, (2) a reduction in interest expense as a result of
the factors described above under interest expense, and (3) in the case of the
six months ended August 31, 2002, the gain on sale of our Denver radio assets of
$8.9 million. With respect to EOC, income (loss) before income taxes,
extraordinary loss and accounting change increased to $13.6 million for the
three months ended August 31, 2002 from a loss before income taxes,
extraordinary loss and accounting change of $1.9 million for the same period of
the prior year. Income (loss) before income taxes, extraordinary loss and
accounting change increased to $28.9 million for the six months ended August 31,
2002 from a loss before income taxes, extraordinary loss and accounting change
of $16.1 million for the same period of the prior year. The increase in the
income before income taxes, extraordinary loss and accounting change is mainly
attributable to: (1) the elimination of our amortization expense for goodwill
and broadcasting licenses of $16.1 million and $30.0 million, respectively, (2)
a reduction in interest expense as a result of the factors described above under
interest expense, and (3) in the case of the six months ended August 31, 2002,
the gain on sale of our Denver radio assets of $8.9 million.
NET LOSS:
With respect to Emmis, net loss decreased to $4.6 million for the three
months ended August 31, 2002 from $7.2 million for the same period of the prior
year. The decrease in net loss is mainly attributable to the elimination of
amortization expense and decreased interest expense, each described above, and
each net of taxes, partially offset by a $8.8 million extraordinary loss, net of
a deferred tax benefit, relating to the premium paid on the redemption of our
discount notes and the write-off of deferred debt fees associated with debt
repaid during the quarter. Net loss increased to $170.1 million for the six
months ended August 31, 2002 from $20.6 million for the same period of the prior
year. The increase in net loss is mainly attributable to (1) a $167.4 million
impairment charge, net of a deferred tax benefit, under the cumulative effect of
accounting change as an accumulated transition adjustment attributable to the
adoption on March 1, 2002 of SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets." (2) a $11.1 million extraordinary loss, net of a deferred tax benefit,
relating to the premium paid on the redemption of our discount notes and the
write-off of deferred debt fees associated with debt repaid during the six
months, and (3) the elimination of amortization expense, the gain on asset sales
and the reduction in interest expense, all described above, and all net of
taxes; With respect to EOC, net income was $8.0 million for the three months
ended August 31, 2002 compared to a net loss of $3.2 million for the same period
of the prior year. The increase in net income is mainly attributable to the
elimination of amortization expense, and the decrease in interest expense, each
described above, and each net of taxes, partially offset by a $0.5 million
extraordinary loss, net of a deferred tax benefit, relating to the write-off of
deferred debt fees associated with debt repaid during the quarter. Net loss
increased to $152.5 million for the six months ended August 31, 2002 from $14.0
million for the same period of the prior year. The increase in net loss is
mainly attributable to (1) a $167.4 million impairment charge, net of a deferred
tax benefit, under the cumulative effect of accounting change as an accumulated
transition adjustment attributable to the adoption on March 1, 2002 of SFAS No.
142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets."; (2) a $2.9 million extraordinary
loss, net of a deferred tax benefit, relating to the write-off of deferred debt
fees associated with debt repaid during the six months, and (3) the elimination
of amortization expense, the gain on asset sales and the reduction in interest
expense, all described above, and all net of taxes.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our primary sources of liquidity are cash provided by operations and
cash available through revolver borrowings under our credit facility. Our
primary uses of capital have been historically, and are expected to continue to
be, funding acquisitions, capital expenditures, working capital and debt service
and, in the case of ECC, preferred stock dividend requirements. Since we manage
cash on a consolidated basis, any cash needs of a particular segment or
operating entity are met by intercompany transactions. See Investing Activities
below for discussion of specific segment needs.
At August 31, 2002, we had cash and cash equivalents of $11.7 million
and net working capital for Emmis and EOC of $40.5 million and $41.7 million,
respectively. At February 28, 2002, we had cash and cash equivalents of $6.4
million and net working capital for Emmis and EOC of $19.8 million and $21.0
million, respectively, excluding assets held for sale and associated
liabilities. Due to the economic stimulus package passed by Congress in March
2002, Emmis recorded a tax refund receivable of $12.8 million in the quarter
ended May 31, 2002, which remains outstanding as of August 31, 2002. The
remaining increase in net working capital primarily relates to accounts
receivable increasing more than the increase in current liabilities.
OPERATING ACTIVITIES
With respect to Emmis, net cash flows provided by operating activities
were $35.5 million for the six months ended August 31, 2002 compared to $30.4
million for the same period of the prior year. With respect to EOC, net cash
flows provided by operating activities were $34.6 million for the six months
ended August 31, 2002 compared to net cash flows provided by operating
activities of $28.3 million for the same period of the prior year. The increase
in cash flows provided by operating activities for the six months ended August
31, 2002 as compared to the same period in the prior year is due to a slight
increase in net revenues less station operating expenses and corporate expenses,
combined with changes in the timing of cash receipts and payments. Cash flows
provided by operating activities are historically the highest in our third and
fourth fiscal quarters as a significant portion of our accounts receivable
collections is derived from revenues recognized in our second and third fiscal
quarters, which are our highest revenue quarters.
INVESTING ACTIVITIES
Cash flows provided by investing activities were $122.3 million for the
six months ended August 31, 2002 compared to cash used in investing of $163.5
million in the same period of the prior year. This increase is primarily
attributable to our sales of radio stations in the six months ended August 31,
2002 as opposed to our purchase of radio stations in the six months ended August
31, 2001, partially offset by a reduction in capital expenditures in the six
months ended August 31, 2002 over the same period in the prior year. Investment
activities include capital expenditures and business acquisitions and
dispositions.
As discussed in results of operations above and in Note 4 to the
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, Emmis sold radio
stations KALC-FM and KXPK-FM in Denver, Colorado for $135.5 million in cash in
the quarter ended May 31, 2002. The net cash proceeds of $135.5 million were
used to repay outstanding borrowings under the credit facility. As disclosed in
the supplemental disclosures to the statements of cash flows, Emmis acquired
radio stations KKLT-FM, KTAR-AM and KMVP-AM, in Phoenix, Arizona, in the quarter
ended May 31, 2001 for cash of $140.7 million. The Company financed the
acquisition through a $20.0 million advance payment borrowed under the credit
facility in June 2000 and the remainder with borrowings under the credit
facility and proceeds from ECC's March 2001 senior discount notes offering.
Emmis began programming and selling advertising on the radio stations on August
1, 2000 under a time brokerage agreement.
Capital expenditures primarily relate to leasehold improvements to
various office and studio facilities, broadcast equipment purchases, tower
upgrades and computer equipment replacements. In the six month periods ended
August 31, 2002 and 2001, we had capital expenditures of $12.2 million and $19.5
million, respectively. Of this decrease, approximately $6.4 million relates to
the construction of new operating facilities for WALA-TV in Mobile, Alabama in
the first six months of the prior year. We anticipate that future requirements
for capital expenditures will include capital expenditures incurred during the
ordinary course of business, including approximately $11.0 million in fiscal
2003 for the conversion to digital television. Although we expect that
substantially all of our stations will broadcast a digital signal by the end of
our fiscal 2003, we will incur approximately $8 million of additional costs,
after fiscal 2003, to upgrade the digital signals of five of our local stations
and an indeterminable amount to upgrade the digital signals of our nine
satellite stations. We expect to fund such capital expenditures with cash
generated from operating activities and borrowings under our credit facility.
FINANCING ACTIVITIES
Cash flows used in financing activities for Emmis and EOC were $152.5
million and $151.6 million, respectively, for the six months ended August 31,
2002. Cash flows provided by financing activities for Emmis and EOC were $79.6
million and $81.7 million, respectively, for the same period of the prior year.
As discussed in Note 4 to the accompanying condensed consolidated
financial statements, in April 2002, ECC completed the sale of 4.6 million
shares of its Class A common stock at $26.80 per share resulting in total
proceeds of $123.3 million. The net proceeds of $120.3 million were contributed
to EOC and 50% of the net proceeds were used in April 2002 to repay outstanding
borrowings under our credit facility. The remainder was invested, and in July
2002 distributed to ECC to redeem approximately 22.6% of ECC's $370.0 million,
face value, senior discount notes (see discussion below). As indicated in
Investing Activities above, net proceeds of $135.5 million from the sale of two
radio stations in Denver were also used to repay outstanding indebtedness under
the credit facility during the six months ended August 31, 2002.
On March 28, 2001, ECC received $202.6 million of proceeds from the
issuance of $370.0 million face value, 12 1/2% senior discount notes due 2011.
The net proceeds of $191.1 million, less $93.0 million held in escrow at ECC,
were distributed to EOC and used to fund the acquisition of the Phoenix radio
stations discussed in Investing Activities above. In June 2001, upon completion
of the Company's reorganization, the proceeds held in escrow were released and
used to reduce outstanding borrowings under the credit facility.
As of August 31, 2002, EOC had $1,059.0 million of corporate
indebtedness outstanding under our credit facility ($741.9 million) and senior
subordinated notes ($300.0 million), and an additional $17.1 million of other
indebtedness. As of August 31, 2002, total indebtedness outstanding for Emmis
included all of EOC's indebtedness as well as $186.4 million of senior discount
notes. Emmis also had $143.8 million of our convertible preferred stock
outstanding. All outstanding amounts under our credit facility bear interest, at
our option, at a rate equal to the Eurodollar rate or an alternative Base Rate
plus a margin. As of August 31, 2002, our weighted average borrowing rate under
our credit facility was approximately 6.0% and our overall weighted average
borrowing rate, after taking into account amounts outstanding under our senior
subordinated notes and senior discount notes, was approximately 7.5%. The
overall weighted average borrowing rate for EOC, which would exclude the senior
discount notes, was approximately 6.6%.
Based on amounts currently outstanding under our senior subordinated
notes, the debt service requirements of EOC for these notes over the next
twelve-month period are $24.4 million. ECC has no additional debt service
requirements in the next twelve-month period since interest on its senior
discount notes accretes into the principal balance of the notes until March
2006. However, ECC has preferred stock dividend requirements of $9.0 million for
the next twelve-month period. The terms of ECC's preferred stock provide for a
quarterly dividend payment of $.78125 per share on each January 15, April 15,
July 15 and October 15. While Emmis has sufficient liquidity to declare and pay
the dividends as they become due, it was not permitted to do so for the April
15, 2002 payment because Emmis' leverage ratio under the senior discount notes
indenture exceeded 8:1 and its leverage ratio under the senior subordinated
notes indenture exceeded 7:1. ECC's board of directors set a record date for the
April 15, 2002 payment, but did not declare the dividend. Instead, a
wholly-owned, unrestricted subsidiary of EOC made a payment of $.78125 per share
to each preferred shareholder of record. This subsidiary was permitted to make
the payment to the preferred shareholders under the senior discount notes and
senior subordinated notes indentures. Currently, Emmis meets its leverage ratio
requirements under both the senior discount notes indenture and the senior
subordinated notes indenture. On July 2, 2002, ECC's board of directors declared
the April 15, 2002 dividend, as well as dividends payable October 15, 2001 and
January 15, 2002, and deemed the obligation to pay each dividend to have been
discharged by the subsidiary's prior payment. On August 19,2002, ECC's board of
directors declared the October 15, 2002 dividend.
At October 2, 2002, we had $175.9 million available under our credit
facility less $6.9 million in outstanding letters of credit. As part of our
business strategy, we continually evaluate potential acquisitions of radio and
television stations, as well as publishing properties. If we elect to take
advantage of future acquisition opportunities, we may incur additional debt or
issue additional equity or debt securities, depending on market conditions and
other factors.
INTANGIBLES
At August 31, 2002, approximately 79% of our total assets consisted of
intangible assets, such as FCC broadcast licenses, goodwill, subscription lists
and similar assets, the value of which depends significantly upon the
operational results of our businesses. In the case of our radio and television
stations, we would not be able to operate the properties without the related FCC
license for each property. FCC licenses are renewed every eight years;
consequently, we continually monitor our stations' compliance with the various
regulatory requirements. Historically, all of our FCC licenses have been renewed
at the end of their respective eight-year periods, and we expect that all FCC
licenses will continue to be renewed in the future.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations."
Statement No. 141 addresses financial accounting and reporting for business
combinations and supersedes Accounting Principle Board ("APB") Opinion No. 16,
"Business Combinations" and FASB Statement No. 38, "Accounting for
Preacquisition Contingencies of Purchased Enterprises." Statement No. 141 is
effective for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 and
eliminates the pooling-of-interest method of accounting for business
combinations except for qualifying business combinations that were initiated
prior to July 1, 2001. Statement No. 141 also changes the criteria to recognize
intangible assets apart from goodwill. The Company adopted this Statement on
July 1, 2001. The Company has historically used the purchase method to account
for all business combinations and the adoption of this Statement did not have a
material impact on the Company's financial position, cash flows or results of
operations.
In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142 "Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets" that requires companies to cease amortizing goodwill and
certain other indefinite-lived intangible assets, including broadcast licenses.
Under SFAS 142, goodwill and certain indefinite-lived intangibles will not be
amortized into results of operations, but instead the recorded value of certain
indefinite-lived intangibles will be tested for impairment at least annually
with impairment being measured as the excess of the asset's carrying amount over
its fair value. Intangible assets that have finite useful lives will continue to
be amortized over their useful lives and measured for impairment in accordance
with SFAS 121. In connection with the adoption of SFAS 142 effective March 1,
2002, we recorded an impairment loss of $167.4 million, net of tax, reflected as
the cumulative effect of an accounting change in the accompanying condensed
consolidated statements of operations. The adoption of this accounting standard
reduced our amortization of goodwill and intangibles by approximately $16.1
million and $30.0 million in the three and six months ended August 31, 2002,
respectively. However, our impairment reviews may result in future periodic
write-downs.
In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset
Retirement Obligations" that applies to legal obligations associated with the
retirement of a tangible long-lived asset that results from the acquisition,
construction, or development and/or the normal operation of a long-lived asset.
Under this standard, guidance is provided on measuring and recording the
liability. Adoption of this Statement by the Company will be effective on March
1, 2003. The Company does not believe that the adoption of this Statement will
materially impact the Company's financial position, cash flows or results of
operations.
Effective March 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 144 "Accounting
for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" that addresses financial
accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets.
While SFAS No. 144 supersedes SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of," it removes
certain assets such as deferred tax assets, goodwill and intangible assets not
being amortized from its scope and retains the requirements of SFAS No. 121
regarding the recognition of impairment losses on other long-lived assets held
for use. SFAS No. 144 also supersedes the accounting and reporting provisions of
APB Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the Results of Operations-Reporting the Effects
of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and
Infrequently Occurring events and Transactions" for the disposal of a segment of
a business. However, SFAS No. 144 retains the requirement in Opinion 30 to
report separately discontinued operations and extends that reporting to a
component of an entity that either has been disposed of (by sale, abandonment,
or in a distribution to owners) or is classified as held for sale. Adoption of
this statement did not have a material impact on the Company's financial
position, cash flows or results of operations.
In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, "Rescission of FASB Statements
No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical
Corrections". Statement No. 145 rescinds FASB Statement No. 4, "Reporting Gains
and Losses from Extinguishment of Debt", and an amendment of that Statement, and
FASB Statement No. 64, "Extinguishments of Debt Made to Satisfy Sinking-Fund
Requirements". Statement No. 145 also rescinds FASB Statement No. 44,
"Accounting for Leases", to eliminate an inconsistency between the required
accounting for sale-leaseback transactions and the required accounting for
certain lease modifications that have economic effects that are similar to
sale-leaseback transactions. Statement No. 145 also amends other existing
authoritative pronouncements to make various technical corrections, clarify
meanings, or describe their applicability under changed conditions. Adoption of
this Statement by the Company will be effective on March 1, 2003. The Company
has not assessed the impact, if any, that will result from the adoption of
Statement No. 145.
In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs
Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities." Statement No. 146 supersedes
Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 94-3. Statement No. 146 requires that the
liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized
when the liability is incurred, not at the date of an entity's commitment to an
exit or disposal plan. The provisions of Statement No. 146 are effective for
exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. The Company does
not anticipate that the adoption of Statement No. 146 will have a material
impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.
REGULATORY AND OTHER MATTERS
We acquired KGMB-TV in Honolulu, Hawaii as part of the Lee acquisition
in October 2000. Because we already owned KHON-TV in Honolulu, and both KHON and
KGMB were rated among the top four television stations in the Honolulu market,
FCC regulations prohibited us from owning both stations. However, we received a
temporary waiver from the FCC that has allowed us to operate both stations (and
their related "satellite" stations). The FCC recently commenced an extensive
review of its ownership rules, including the rule that prohibits our ownership
of the two Hawaii stations, to determine whether the ownership restrictions
continue to serve the public interest. We have requested a stay of divestiture
until the FCC completes its review of the ownership rules and are currently
awaiting the FCC's decision on our request. No assurances can be given that the
FCC will grant us the stay of divestiture and we may need to sell one of the two
stations in Hawaii.
FCC regulations require all commercial television stations in the
United States to start broadcasting in digital format by May 2002 and to abandon
their present analog format by 2006. Five of our television stations were
broadcasting in digital format by the May 2002 deadline and the remainder were
granted extensions to November 2002. We expect several of our other stations to
meet the November 2002 deadline and have requested an additional six month
extension for the rest. Based upon the FCC's treatment of certain broadcasters
who were not granted extensions to the original May 2002 deadline, we believe
that the FCC will first issue a formal admonishment to any broadcaster whose
extension request is denied and then issue a monetary forfeiture if the station
has not commenced digital broadcasting within six months of the date of the
FCC's admonishment. We cannot predict the extent of the monetary fine, nor can
we predict the other actions the FCC will take if the station does not commence
digital broadcasts within six months after the date of the fine. Nonetheless, we
believe all of our stations (other than five of our satellite stations for which
we believe the continued delay is based upon conditions largely outside our
control) will have commenced digital broadcasts by May 2003.
Four of our CBS affiliation agreements and one of our NBC affiliation
agreements have expired. We are currently in negotiations with CBS and NBC to
renew these affiliation agreements and we expect them all to be renewed. The NBC
renewal agreement is expected to also cover our other NBC affiliated stations
whose affiliation agreements have not yet expired. We do not expect the terms of
the renewed affiliation agreements to have an adverse material impact on our
results of operations.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Management monitors and evaluates changes in market conditions on a
regular basis. Based upon the most recent review, management has determined that
there have been no material developments affecting market risk since the filing
of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 28,
2002.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Discussion regarding these items is included in management's discussion
and analysis of financial condition and results of operations.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Based on their most recent evaluation, which was completed within 90
days of the filing of this Form 10-Q, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Financial Officer believe the Company's disclosure controls and procedures
(as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14) are effective. There were
not any significant changes in internal controls or in other factors that could
significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation,
including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and
material weaknesses.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Instead of making a required license payment to the Hungarian
government in November 2001, our 59.5% owned national radio station in Hungary
requested a modification of the broadcast contract and ultimately filed suit in
arbitration court seeking reformation of the contract and requesting that the
payments be reduced. Subsequently, the arbitration court granted our request to
withdraw our claim and terminated the arbitration. The Hungarian government
issued an order revoking our station's broadcast license for non-payment of the
license fee, and we appealed the order in the Hungarian ordinary court, which
ruled in our favor in September 2002. The Hungarian government also filed an
action seeking to liquidate our Hungarian broadcast company, but this action was
denied by the court. We continue to seek an equitable resolution to this matter.
If it is not resolved in a reasonable period of time, it is unlikely we will
continue to operate the station under the present fee arrangement. We do not
expect an adverse material financial impact to Emmis or EOC if the station does
not continue to operate.
The Company is a party to various other legal proceedings arising in
the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management of the Company,
however, there are no legal proceedings pending against the Company likely to
have a material adverse effect on the Company.
