ITEM 1.    BUSINESS
 
The discussion of our business is as of the date of filing this report, unless otherwise indicated.
 
Overview
 
Entravision Communications Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries, or Entravision, is a diversified Spanish-language media company with a unique portfolio of television, radio, outdoor advertising and publishing assets, reaching approximately 80% of all Hispanics in the U.S. We own and/or operate 38 primary television stations that are located primarily in the southwestern U.S., including the U.S./Mexican border markets. Our television stations consist primarily of affiliates of the two television networks of Univision Communications Inc. (“Univision”) serving 21 of the top 50 Hispanic markets in the U.S. We are the largest Univision-affiliated television group in the U.S. Univision is a key source of programming for our television broadcasting business and we consider them to be a valuable strategic partner of ours.
 
We own and operate one of the largest groups of Spanish-language radio stations in the U.S. We own and/or operate 54 radio stations in 25 U.S. markets, including Spanish-language stations in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Phoenix and Dallas-Ft. Worth. Our radio stations consist of 39 FM and 15 AM stations serving portions of the Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Nevada, New Mexico and Texas markets.
 
Our outdoor advertising operations consist of approximately 11,200 advertising faces located primarily in high-density Hispanic communities in Los Angeles and New York. We also own El Diario/la Prensa, the oldest major Spanish-language daily newspaper in the U.S.
 
We were organized as a Delaware limited liability company in January 1996 to combine the operations of our predecessor entities. On August 2, 2000, we completed a reorganization in which all of the outstanding direct and indirect membership interests of our predecessor were exchanged for shares of our Class A and Class B common stock and a $120 million subordinated note and option held by Univision was exchanged for shares of our Class C common stock.
 
On August 2, 2000, we also completed an initial public offering, or IPO, of our Class A common stock. We sold 46,435,458 shares of our Class A common stock to the underwriters at a price of $16.50 per share. We also sold 6,464,542 shares of our Class A common stock directly to Univision at a price of $15.47 per share. The net proceeds to us after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses were approximately $814 million.

Also on August 2, 2000, we completed a reorganization from a limited liability company to a corporation. As a result of this reorganization, prior to the closing of the IPO, the beneficial ownership of Entravision was virtually identical to the beneficial ownership of Entravision Communications Company, L.L.C., our predecessor, immediately before the reorganization. This reorganization occurred as follows:
 
 
 
Walter Ulloa, Philip Wilkinson and Paul Zevnik and each of their trusts and other related entities exchanged their direct and indirect ownership interests in our predecessor for newly-issued shares of Class B common stock;
 
 
 
each of the stockholders in the seven corporate member entities of our predecessor (other than Messrs. Ulloa, Wilkinson and Zevnik and their trusts and related entities) exchanged their shares in such corporate members for newly-issued shares of Class A common stock;
 
 
 
each of the remaining individuals, trusts and other entities holding direct membership interests in our predecessor exchanged such interests for newly-issued shares of Class A common stock; and
 
 
 
Univision exchanged its subordinated note and option in our predecessor for shares of Class C common stock.
 
On March 18, 2002, we issued $225 million in Senior Subordinated Notes due 2009 (the “Notes”). The Notes bear interest at 8 1/8% per year, payable semi-annually on March 15 and September 15 of each year, commencing on September 15, 2002. The net proceeds from the Notes were used to pay the outstanding balance under our bank credit facility and for general corporate purposes.
 
We generate revenue from sales of national and local advertising time on television and radio stations and advertising on our billboards and in our publication. Advertising rates are, in large part, based on each media’s ability to attract audiences in demographic groups targeted by advertisers. We recognize advertising revenue when commercials are broadcast, outdoor services are provided and publishing services are provided. We incur commissions from agencies on local, regional and national advertising. Our revenue reflects deductions from gross revenue for commissions to these agencies.
 
Our primary expenses are employee compensation, including commissions paid to our sales staffs and our national representative firms, marketing, promotion and selling, technical, local programming, engineering and general and administrative. Our local programming costs for television consist of costs related to producing a local newscast in most of our markets.
 
The Hispanic Market Opportunity
 
Our media assets target densely-populated and fast-growing Hispanic markets in the U.S. We operate media properties in 12 of the 15 highest-density Hispanic markets in the U.S. In addition, among the top 25 Hispanic markets in the U.S., we operate media properties in 12 of the 15 fastest-growing markets. We believe that targeting the Hispanic market will translate into strong growth for the foreseeable future for the following reasons:
 
Hispanic Population Growth.    Our audience consists primarily of Hispanics, one of the fastest-growing segments of the U.S. population. According to Census 2000 data, over 35 million Hispanics live in the U.S., accounting for approximately 13% of the total U.S. population. The overall Hispanic population is growing at approximately seven times the rate of the non-Hispanic population in the U.S. and is expected to grow to 55.2 million (17% of the total U.S. population) by 2020. Approximately 46% of the total future growth in the U.S. population through 2020 is expected to come from the Hispanic community. By 2005, Hispanics are projected to be the largest minority group in the U.S.
 
Spanish-Language Use.    Approximately 68% of all Hispanics in the U.S. speak Spanish at home. This percentage is expected to remain relatively constant through 2020. The number of Hispanics who speak Spanish in the home is expected to grow from 22 million in 2000 to 36.3 million in 2020. We believe that the strong Spanish-language use among Hispanics indicates that Spanish-language media will continue to be an important source of news, sports and entertainment for Hispanics and an important vehicle for marketing and advertising.

Increasing Hispanic Buying Power.    The Hispanic population in the U.S. accounted for total consumer expenditures of approximately $444 billion in 2000, an increase of 106% since 1990. Hispanics are expected to account for over $1 trillion in consumer expenditures by 2010 and by 2020, Hispanics are expected to account for $2.1 trillion in consumer expenditures (12% of total U.S. consumer spending). Hispanic buying power is expected to grow at approximately five times the rate of the Hispanic population growth by 2020. We believe that these factors make Hispanics an attractive target audience for many major U.S. advertisers.
 
Attractive Profile of Hispanic Consumers.    We believe that the demographic profile of the Hispanic audience makes it attractive to advertisers. We believe that the larger size and younger age of Hispanic households (averaging 3.4 persons and 27.6 years of age as compared to the general public’s average of 2.5 persons and 37.2 years of age) lead Hispanics to spend more per household on many categories of goods and services. Although the average U.S. Hispanic household has less disposable income than the average U.S. household, the average U.S. Hispanic household spends 23.5% more per year than the average non-Hispanic U.S. household on food at home, 96% more on children’s clothing, 55% more on footwear and 27% more on laundry and household cleaning products. We expect Hispanics to continue to account for a disproportionate share of growth in spending nationwide in many important consumer categories as the Hispanic population and its disposable income continue to grow.
 
Spanish-Language Advertising.    According to published sources, nearly $2.2 billion of total advertising expenditures in the U.S. were placed in Spanish-language media in 2001, of which approximately 84% was placed in Spanish-language television and radio advertising. We believe that major advertisers have found that Spanish-language media is a more cost-effective means to target the growing Hispanic audience than English-language broadcast media.
 
Business Strategy
 
We seek to increase our advertising revenue through the following strategies:
 
Effectively Use Our Networks and Media Brands.    We are the largest Univision television affiliate group for Univision’s primary network as well as its new network, Telefutura, which was launched in January 2002. Univision’s primary network is the most-watched television network (English- or Spanish-language) among U.S. Hispanic households, capturing approximately an 81% market share of the U.S. Spanish-language prime time audience as of December 2001. Univision makes its networks’ Spanish-language programming available to our television stations 24-hours a day, including a prime time schedule on its primary network of substantially all first-run programming throughout the year.
 
We believe that the breadth and diversity of Univision’s programming, combined with our local news and community-oriented segments, provide us with an advantage over other Spanish-language and English-language broadcasters in reaching Hispanic viewers. Our local content is designed to brand each of our stations as the best source for relevant community information that accurately reflects local interests and needs.
 
We operate our radio network using three primary formats designed to appeal to different listener tastes. We format the programming of our network and radio stations to capture a substantial share of the U.S. Hispanic audience.
 
Invest in Media Research and Sales.    We believe that continued use of reliable ratings and surveys will allow us to further increase our advertising rates. We use industry ratings and surveys, including Nielsen, Arbitron, the Traffic Audit Bureau and the Audit Bureau of Circulation, to provide a more accurate measure of consumers that we reach with our operations. We believe that our focused research and sales efforts will enable us to continue to achieve significant revenue growth.
 
Continue to Benefit from Strong Management.    We believe that we have one of the most experienced management teams in the industry. Walter Ulloa, our co-founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer,

Table of Contents
Philip Wilkinson, our co-founder, President and Chief Operating Officer, Jeanette Tully, our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Jeffery Liberman, the President of our Radio Division, and Glenn Emanuel, the President of our Outdoor Division, have an average of more than 20 years of media experience. We intend to continue to build and retain our key management personnel and to capitalize on their knowledge and experience in the Spanish-language markets.
 
Emphasize Local Content, Programming and Community Involvement.    We believe that local content in each market we serve is an important part of building our brand identity within the community. By combining our local news and quality network programming, we believe that we have a significant competitive advantage. We also believe that our active community involvement, including station remote broadcasting appearances at client events, concerts and tie-ins to major events, helps to build station awareness and identity as well as viewer and listener loyalty.
 
Increase in Market Cross-Selling and Cross-Promotion.    We believe that our uniquely diversified asset portfolio provides us with a competitive advantage. We are one of the only Hispanic media companies that has the ability to provide advertisers with attractive media packages which combine television, radio, outdoor advertising and publishing in targeting the Hispanic consumer. In 2001, we began the process of combining television and radio operations to create synergies and achieve cost savings and are continuing that process in 2002. Currently, we operate some combination of television, radio, outdoor advertising and publishing in 13 markets.
 
Target Other Attractive Hispanic Markets and Fill-In Acquisitions.    We believe that our knowledge of, and experience with, the Hispanic marketplace will enable us to continue to identify acquisitions in the television, radio and outdoor advertising markets. Since our inception, we have used our management expertise, programming and brand identity to improve our acquired media properties.
 
Television
 
Overview
 
We own and/or operate Univision-affiliated television stations in 21 of the top 50 Hispanic markets in the U.S. Our television operations are the largest affiliate group of the Univision networks. Univision’s primary network is the leading Spanish-language network in the U.S., reaching more than 97% of all Hispanic households. Univision’s primary network is the most-watched television network (English- or Spanish-language) among U.S. Hispanic households, representing approximately an 81% market share of the U.S. Spanish-language network television prime time audience as of December 2001. Univision’s networks make available to our Univision-affiliated stations 24-hours a day of Spanish-language programming. Univision’s prime time schedule on its primary network consists of substantially all first-run programming throughout the year.
 
Television Programming
 
Univision Primary Network Programming.    Univision directs its programming primarily toward its young, family-oriented audience. It begins daily with Despierta America and other talk and information shows, Monday through Friday, followed by novelas. In the late afternoon and early evening, Univision offers a talk show, a game show, a news-magazine and national news, in addition to local news produced by our television stations. During prime time, Univision airs novelas, variety shows, a talk show, comedies, news magazines and lifestyle shows, as well as specials and movies. Prime time is followed by late news and a late night talk show. Overnight programming consists primarily of repeats of programming aired earlier in the day. Weekend daytime programming begins with children’s programming, followed by sports, variety, teen lifestyle shows and movies.
 
Approximately eight to ten hours of programming per weekday, including a substantial portion of weekday prime time, are currently programmed with novelas supplied primarily by Grupo Televisa and Venevision. Although novelas have been compared to daytime soap operas on ABC, NBC or CBS, the differences are

significant. Novelas, originally developed as serialized books, have a beginning, middle and end, generally run five days per week and conclude four to eight months after they begin. Novelas also have a much broader audience appeal than soap operas, delivering audiences that contain large numbers of men, children and teens in addition to women.
 
Telefutura Network Programming.    On January 14, 2002, Univision launched a new 24-hour general-interest Spanish-language broadcast network, Telefutura, to meet the diverse preferences of the multi-faceted U.S. Hispanic community. Telefutura’s programming includes sports (including live boxing, soccer and a nightly wrap-up similar to ESPN’s at 11 p.m.), movies (including a mix of English-language movies dubbed into Spanish) and novelas (not run on Univision’s primary network), as well as reruns of popular novelas broadcast on Univision’s primary network. Telefutura offers U.S. Hispanics an alternative to traditional Spanish-language broadcast networks and targets younger U.S. Hispanics who currently watch predominantly English-language programming.
 
Entravision Local Programming.    We believe that our local news brands each of our stations in the market. We shape our local news to relate to our target audiences. In seven of our television markets, our local news is ranked #1 in its designated time slot among viewers 18-34 years of age, in any language. We have made substantial investments in people and equipment in order to provide our local communities with quality newscasts. Our local newscasts have won numerous awards, and we strive to be the most important community voice in each of our local markets.
 
Network Affiliation Agreements.    Substantially all of our television stations are Univision-affiliated television stations. Our network affiliation agreements with Univision provide certain of our stations with the exclusive right to broadcast the Univision primary network programming in its respective market. These long-term affiliation agreements expire in 2021. Under the affiliation agreements, Univision retains the right to sell approximately six minutes per hour of the advertising time available during the Univision schedule, with the remaining six minutes per hour available for sale by our stations.
 
Our network affiliation agreement with the United Paramount Network (“UPN”) gives us the right to provide UPN network programming for a ten year period expiring in October 2009 on XUPN-TV serving the Tecate/San Diego market. A related participation agreement grants UPN a 20% interest in the appreciation of XUPN-TV above $35 million upon certain liquidity events as defined in the agreement.
 
XHAS-TV broadcasts Telemundo Network Group LLC (“Telemundo”) network programming serving the Tijuana/San Diego market pursuant to a network affiliation agreement. Our network affiliation agreement with Telemundo gives us the right to provide Telemundo network programming for a six year period expiring in July 2007 on XHAS-TV serving the Tijuana/San Diego market. The affiliation agreement grants Telemundo a 20% interest in the appreciation of XHAS-TV above $31 million, plus capital expenditures and certain other adjustments upon certain liquidity events as defined in the agreement. We also granted Telemundo an option to purchase our ownership interest in KTCD-LP at a purchase price equal to our cost for such interest.
 
Our joint marketing and programming agreement with Grupo Televisa and certain of its affiliates gives us the right through December 2004 to manage the programming, advertising, sales and certain operations functions of XETV-TV, Channel 6, the Fox network affiliate serving the Tijuana/San Diego market.

Television Advertising
 
Local.    Local advertising revenue is generated from commercial airtime and is sold directly by the station to an in-market advertiser or its agency.
 
National.    National advertising revenue represents commercial time sold to a national advertiser within a specific market by Univision, our national representative firm. For these sales, Univision is paid a 15% commission on the net revenue from each sale (gross revenue less agency commission). We target the largest national Spanish-language advertisers that collectively purchase the greatest share of national advertisements through Univision. The Univision representative works closely with each station’s national sales manager. This has enabled us to secure major national advertisers, including Ford Motor Company, General Motors, AT&T, McDonald’s, Burger King and Wells Fargo Bank. We have a similar national advertising representative arrangement with Telemundo. XUPN/XETV are represented by Blair Television Inc. In 2001, national advertising accounted for 41%, local advertising accounted for 58% and network and other compensation for 1% of our total television advertising revenue.
 
Network.    Network compensation represents compensation for broadcasting network programming in two television markets.
 
Television Marketing/Audience Research
 
We derive our revenue primarily from selling advertising time. The relative advertising rates charged by competing stations within a market depend primarily on four factors:
 
 
 
the station’s ratings (households or people viewing its programs as a percentage of total television households or people in the viewing area);
 
 
 
audience share (households or people viewing its programs as a percentage of households or people actually watching television at a specific time);
 
 
 
the time of day the advertising will run; and
 
 
 
the demographic qualities of a program’s viewers (primarily age and gender).
 
Nielsen ratings provide advertisers with the industry-accepted measure of television viewing. In recent years, Nielsen began a special service to measure Hispanic viewing. Nielsen is now introducing improved methodology to its general market service that more accurately measures Hispanic viewing by using language spoken in the home in its metered market sample. We believe that this new methodology will result in substantial ratings gains and allow us to further increase our advertising rates and narrow any primary disparities which have historically existed between English-language and Spanish-language advertising rates. We have made significant investments in experienced sales managers and account executives and have provided our sales professionals with research tools to continue to attract major advertisers.
 
The various Nielsen rating services that we use are described below:
 
Nielsen Hispanic Station Index.    This service measures Hispanic household viewing at the local market level. Each sample also reflects the varying levels of language usage by Hispanics in each market in order to

7


Table of Contents
more accurately reflect the Hispanic household population in the relevant market. Nielsen Hispanic Station Index only measures the audience viewing of Hispanic households, that is, households where the head of the household is of Hispanic descent or origin. Although this offers improvements over previous measurement indices, we believe that it still under-reports the number of viewers watching Entravision programming because we have viewers who do not live in Hispanic households.
 
Nielsen Station Index.    This service measures local station viewing of all households in a specific market. We buy these reports in most of our markets to measure our viewing against both English- and Spanish-language competitors. This rating service, however, is not language-stratified and generally under-represents Spanish-speaking households. As a result, we believe that this typically under-reports viewing of Spanish-language television. Despite this limitation, the Nielsen Station Index demonstrates that many of our full-power broadcast stations achieve total market ratings that are fully comparable with their English-language counterparts, with seven of our full-power television stations ranking as the top station in their respective markets in prime time among viewers 18-34 years of age.
 
Television Competition
 
We compete for viewers and revenue with other Spanish-language and English-language television stations and networks, including the four principal English-language television networks, ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox, and in certain cities, UPN and Warner Bros. Certain of these English-language networks and others have begun producing Spanish-language programming and simulcasting certain programming in English and Spanish. Several cable broadcasters have recently commenced, or announced their intention to commence, Spanish-language services as well.
 
Telemundo is a competitor that broadcasts Spanish-language television programming. As of December 31, 2001, Telemundo had total coverage reaching approximately 88% of all Hispanic households in their markets. In some of our markets, we compete directly with stations affiliated with Telemundo. We also compete for viewers and revenue with independent television stations, other video media, suppliers of cable television programs, direct broadcast systems, newspapers, magazines, radio and other forms of entertainment and advertising.
 
Radio
 
Overview
 
We own and/or operate 54 radio stations in 25 markets, 52 of which are located in the top 50 Hispanic markets in the U.S. Our radio stations cover in aggregate approximately 57% of the Hispanic population in the U.S. Our radio operations combine network programming with local time slots available for advertising, news, traffic, weather, promotions and community events. This strategy allows us to provide quality programming with significantly lower costs of operations than we could otherwise deliver solely with independent programming.
 
Radio Programming
 
Radio Network.    Through our radio network, we have created one of the largest U.S. Hispanic radio markets, currently with approximately 20 million potential listeners. Our network allows clients with national product distribution to deliver a uniform advertising message to the growing Hispanic market around the country in an efficient manner and at a cost that is generally lower than our English-language counterparts.
 
Although our network has a broad reach across the U.S., technology allows our stations to offer the necessary local feel and to be responsive to local clients and community needs.
 
Designated time slots are used for local advertising, news, traffic, weather, promotions and community events. The audience gets the benefit of a national radio sound along with local content. To further enhance this

effect, our on-air personalities frequently travel to participate in local promotional events. For example, in selected key markets our on-air personalities appear at special events and client locations. We promote these events as “remotes” to bond the national personalities to local listeners. Furthermore, all of our stations can disconnect from the networks and operate independently in the case of a local emergency or a problem with the central satellite transmission.
 
Radio Formats.    We produce programming in a variety of music formats that are simultaneously distributed via satellite with a digital CD-quality sound to our owned and/or operated stations. We offer three primary formats which appeal to different listener preferences:
 
 
 
Radio Romantica is an adult-contemporary, romantic ballads/current hits format, targeting primarily female Hispanic listeners 18-49 years of age.
 
 
 
Radio Tricolor is a personality-driven, Mexican country-style format, targeting primarily male Hispanic listeners 18-49 years of age.
 
 
 
Super Estrella is a music-driven, pop and alternative Spanish-rock format, targeting primarily Hispanic listeners 18-34 years of age.

Significant Acquisitions
 
The LCG Acquisition.    Through our acquisition of Latin Communications Group Inc., or LCG, on April 20, 2000 for approximately $256 million, we added 17 radio stations to our existing radio stations and LCG’s publishing operations. LCG’s radio stations are located in nine radio markets, including Los Angeles and San Francisco, which are two of the top ten U.S. Hispanic markets.
 
The Z-Spanish Media Acquisition.    Through our acquisition of Z-Spanish Media Corporation, or Z-Spanish Media, on August 9, 2000 for approximately $462 million, including the assumption of approximately $110 million of debt, we became the largest group of Spanish-language radio stations and the largest centrally programmed radio network in the U.S. targeting primarily Hispanic listeners. Z-Spanish Media also operates one of the largest outdoor advertising companies in the U.S. focusing on the Hispanic market.
 
Acquisition of Radio Stations KACD-FM and KBCD-FM.    On August 24, 2000, we acquired certain assets relating to the operations of radio stations KACD-FM, Santa Monica, California, and KBCD-FM, Newport Beach, California, from Citicasters Co., a subsidiary of Clear Channel Communications, Inc. (“Clear Channel”), for $85 million.
 
Acquisition of Radio Stations KFRQ-FM, KKPS-FM, KVPA-FM and KVLY-FM.    On September 12, 2000, we acquired certain assets relating to the operations of radio stations KFRQ-FM, KKPS-FM, KVPA-FM and KVLY-FM in the McAllen, Texas market from Sunburst Media, LP for $55 million.
 
Radio Advertising
 
Substantially all of the revenue from our radio operations is derived from local, national and network advertising.
 
Local.    This form of revenue refers to advertising usually purchased by a local client or agency directly from the station’s sales force. In 2001, local radio revenue comprised approximately 77% of our total radio revenue.
 
National.    This form of revenue refers to advertising purchased by a national client targeting a specific market. Usually this business is placed by a national advertising agency or media buying services and ordered through one of the offices of our national sales representative, Lotus/Entravision Reps LLC (“Lotus/Entravision”). Lotus/Entravision is a joint venture we entered into in August 2001 with Lotus Hispanic Reps Corp. (“Lotus”). We believe that Lotus brings significant national sales expertise and reach in targeting key Hispanic media advertisers. Lotus/Entravision has increased our ability to capture national advertising sales. During the fourth quarter of 2001, we experienced improved national sales every consecutive month of that quarter. The national accounts are handled locally by the station’s general sales manager and/or national sales manager. In 2001, approximately 21% of our total radio revenue was from national radio advertising.
 
Network.    This form of revenue refers to advertising that is placed on one or all of our network formats. This business is placed as a single order and is broadcast from the network’s central location. The network advertising can be placed by a local account executive that has a client in its market that wants national exposure. Network inventory can also be sold by corporate executives and/or by our national representative. In 2001, network radio revenue accounted for approximately 2% of our total radio revenue.

Radio Marketing/Audience Research
 
We believe that radio is an efficient means for advertisers to reach targeted demographic groups. Advertising rates charged by our radio stations are based primarily on the following factors:
 
 
 
the station’s ability to attract listeners in a given market;
 
 
 
the demand for available air time;
 
 
 
the attractiveness of the demographic qualities of the listeners (primarily age and purchasing power);
 
 
 
the time of day that the advertising runs;
 
 
 
the program’s popularity with listeners; and
 
 
 
the availability of alternative media in the market.
 
In the smaller and mid-sized markets, Spanish-language radio continues to be more of a concept sale. Arbitron provides advertisers with the industry-accepted measure of listening audience classified by demographic segment and time of day that the listeners spend on particular radio stations. Radio advertising rates generally are highest during the morning and afternoon drive-time hours which are the peak times for radio audience listening.
 
We believe that having multiple stations in a market is desirable to enable us to provide alternatives and to command higher advertising rates and budget share. Historically, advertising rates for Spanish-language radio stations have been lower than those of English-language stations with similar audience levels. We believe that we will be able to increase our rates as new and existing advertisers recognize the growing desirability of targeting the Hispanic population in the U.S.
 
Each station broadcasts an optimal number of advertisements each hour, depending upon its format, in order to maximize the station’s revenue without jeopardizing its audience listenership. Our owned stations have up to 14 minutes per hour for commercial inventory and local content. Our network has up to two additional minutes of commercial inventory per hour. The pricing is based on a rate card and negotiations subject to the supply and demand for the inventory in each particular market and the network.
 
Radio Competition
 
Radio broadcasting is a highly competitive business. The financial success of each of our radio stations and markets depends in large part on our audience ratings, our ability to increase our market share of the overall radio advertising revenue and the economic health of the market. In addition, our advertising revenue depends upon the desire of advertisers to reach our audience demographic. Each of our radio stations competes for audience share and advertising revenue directly with both Spanish-language and English-language radio stations in its market, and with other media within their respective markets, such as newspapers, broadcast and cable television, magazines, billboard advertising, transit advertising and direct mail advertising. Our primary competitors in our markets in Spanish-language radio are Hispanic Broadcasting Corporation, Spanish Broadcasting System, Inc. and Radio Unica Communications Corp. Several of the companies with which we compete are large national or regional companies that have significantly greater resources and longer operating histories than we do.
 
Factors that are material to our competitive position include management experience, a station’s rank in its market, signal strength and audience demographics. If a competing station within a market converts to a format similar to that of one of our stations, or if one of our competitors upgrades its stations, we could suffer a reduction in ratings and advertising revenue in that market. The audience ratings and advertising revenue of our individual stations are subject to fluctuation and any adverse change in a particular market could have a material adverse effect on our operations.
 
The radio industry is subject to competition from new media technologies that are being developed or introduced, such as:
 
 
 
audio programming by cable television systems, direct broadcast satellite systems, Internet content providers and other digital audio broadcast formats;

12


Table of Contents
 
 
 
satellite digital audio service, which has resulted in the introduction of new satellite radio services with sound quality comparable to that of compact disks; and
 
 
 
In-Band On-Channel digital radio, which could provide multi-channel, multi-format digital radio services in the same bandwidth currently occupied by traditional AM and FM radio services.
 
Outdoor Advertising
 
Our outdoor advertising operations complement our television and radio businesses and allow for cross-promotional opportunities. Because of its repetitive impact and relatively low cost, outdoor advertising attracts national, regional and local advertisers. We offer the ability to target specific demographic groups on a cost-effective basis as compared to other advertising media. In addition, we provide businesses with advertising opportunities in locations near their stores or outlets.
 
Our outdoor portfolio adds to our television and radio reach by providing local advertisers with significant coverage of the Hispanic communities in Los Angeles, New York and Fresno. Our outdoor advertising strategy is designed to complement our existing television and radio businesses by allowing us to capitalize on our Hispanic market expertise. The primary components of our strategy are to leverage the strengths of our inventory, continue to focus on ethnic communities and increase market penetration.
 
Outdoor Advertising Markets
 
We own and operate approximately 11,200 outdoor advertising faces located primarily in high density Hispanic communities in Los Angeles and New York, the two largest Hispanic markets in the U.S. We also maintain the exclusive rights to market advertising on public buses in Fresno, California. We believe that our outdoor advertising appeals to both large and small businesses.
 
Los Angeles.    The greater Los Angeles market has a population of approximately 15.5 million, of which 6.2 million or 40% are Hispanic. As such, Los Angeles ranks as the largest Hispanic advertising market in the U.S. Substantially all of our billboard inventory in Los Angeles is located in neighborhoods where Hispanics represent a significant percentage of the local population. We believe that this coverage of the Hispanic population will continue to increase as the Hispanic community continues to grow. The Los Angeles metropolitan area has miles of freeways and surface streets where the average commuter spends approximately 84 minutes per day in the car.
 
New York.    The greater New York City area has a population of approximately 19.3 million, of which approximately 3.6 million or 19% are Hispanic. As such, New York ranks as the second largest Hispanic advertising market in the U.S. We have consolidated substantially all of the 8-sheet and 30-sheet outdoor advertising faces in New York.

Table of Contents
Our inventory consists of the following types of advertising faces that are typically located on sites that we have leased or have a permanent easement:
 
8-sheet posters are generally 6 feet high by 12 feet wide. Due to the smaller size of this type of billboard, 8-sheet posters are often located in densely populated or fast growing areas where larger signs do not fit or are not permitted, such as parking lots and other tight areas. Accordingly, most of our 8-sheet posters are concentrated on city streets, targeting both pedestrian and vehicular traffic and are sold to advertisers for periods of four weeks.
 
30-sheet posters are generally 12 feet high by 25 feet wide and are the most common type of billboard. Lithographed or silk-screened paper sheets, supplied by the advertiser, are pre-pasted and packaged in airtight bags by the outdoor advertising company and applied, like wallpaper, to the face of the display. The 30-sheet posters are concentrated on major traffic arteries and space is usually sold to advertisers for periods of four weeks.
 
City-Lights is a product we created in 1998 to serve national advertisers with a new advertising format visible both during the day and night. The format is typically used by national fashion, entertainment and consumer products companies desiring to target consumers within proximity of local malls or retail outlets. A City-Lights structure is approximately 7 feet by 10 feet set vertically on a single pole structure. The advertisement is usually housed in an illuminated glass casing for greater visibility at night and is sold to advertisers for a period of four weeks.
 
Wall-Scapes generally consist of advertisements ranging in a variety of sizes (from 120 to 800 square feet) which are displayed on the sides of buildings in densely populated locations. Advertising formats can include either vinyl prints or painted artwork. Because of a Wall–Scape’s greater impact and higher cost relative to other types of billboards, space is usually sold to advertisers for periods of six to 12 months.
 
Bulletins are generally 14 feet high and 48 feet wide and consist of panels or a single sheet of vinyl that are hand painted at the facilities of the outdoor advertising company or computer painted in accordance with design specifications supplied by the advertiser and mounted to the face of the display. Because of painted bulletins greater impact and higher cost relative to other types of billboards, they are usually located near major highways and are sold for periods of six to 12 months.
 
Transit Advertising is our newest form of outdoor advertising inventory and consists of advertising panels placed directly on public city buses. We market this type of advertising product only in Fresno, California, where we maintain exclusive rights through a three year franchise arrangement to sell advertising space on all of Fresno’s 107 public buses until January 3, 2004.
 
Significant Acquisitions
 
Acquisition of Z-Spanish Media Outdoor Advertising Assets.    Through our acquisition of Z-Spanish Media, we acquired approximately 10,000 outdoor advertising assets located primarily in high-density Hispanic communities in New York City and Los Angeles.
 
Acquisition of Infinity Broadcasting Outdoor Advertising Assets.    On October 2, 2000, we acquired certain outdoor advertising assets located primarily in high-density Hispanic communities in New York City from Infinity Broadcasting Corporation, or Infinity, for approximately $168 million.
 
Outdoor Advertising Revenue
 
Advertisers usually contract for outdoor displays through advertising agencies, which are responsible for the artistic design and written content of the advertising. Advertising contracts are negotiated on the basis of monthly rates published in our “rate card.” These rates are based on a particular display’s exposure (or number of

14


Table of Contents
“impressions” delivered) in relation to the demographics of the particular market and its location within that market. The number of “impressions” delivered by a display (measured by the number of vehicles passing the site during a defined period and weighted to give effect to such factors as its proximity to other displays and the speed and viewing angle of approaching traffic) is determined by surveys that are verified by the Traffic Audit Bureau, an independent agency which is the outdoor advertising industry’s equivalent of television’s Nielsen ratings and radio’s Arbitron ratings.
 
In each of our markets, we employ salespeople who sell both local and national advertising. Our 2001 outdoor advertising revenue mix consisted of approximately 74% national advertisers and 26% local advertisers. We believe that our local sales force is crucial to maintaining relationships with key advertisers and agencies and identifying new advertisers.
 
Outdoor Advertising Competition
 
We compete in each of our outdoor markets with other outdoor advertisers including Infinity, Clear Channel, ArtKraft Strauss, Medallion Financial Corp. and Regency Outdoor Advertising. Many of these competitors have a larger national network and may have greater total resources than we have. In addition, we also compete with a wide variety of out-of-home media, including advertising in shopping centers, airports, stadiums, movie theaters and supermarkets, as well as on taxis, trains and buses. In competing with other media, outdoor advertising relies on its relative cost efficiency and its ability to reach a segment of the population with a particular set of demographic characteristics within that market.
 
Publishing
 
In connection with our acquisition of LCG in April 2000, we acquired El Diario/la Prensa, the oldest major Spanish-language daily newspaper in the U.S. and one of only two Spanish-language daily newspapers in New York. The newspaper reports news of interest to the Hispanic community, focusing primarily on local news events and daily occurrences in Latin America. El Diario/la Prensa has a daily paid circulation of approximately 57,000 as of September 23, 2001, up from approximately 55,000 as of September 24, 2000.
 
The majority of El Diario/la Prensa’s revenue comes from circulation sales and the sale of local, national and classified advertising. Our top ten newspaper advertisers by dollar volume accounted for 9.2% of El Diario/la Prensa’s total advertising revenue in 2001. Circulation revenue comes almost exclusively from sales at newsstands and retail outlets, rather than mailed subscriptions.
 
Our primary Spanish-language publishing competitor is a publication called Hoy. Our publishing operation also competes with English-language newspapers and other types of advertising media, many of which reach larger audiences and have greater total resources than we have.
 
Most of our publishing employees are represented by the Newspaper and Mail Deliverers’ Union of New York and Vicinity and the Newspaper Guild of New York. Our collective bargaining agreement with the Newspaper Guild of New York expires on June 30, 2002 and our agreement with the Newspaper and Mail Deliverers’ Union of New York and Vicinity expires on March 30, 2004.
 
Material Trademarks, Trade Names and Service Marks
 
In the course of our business, we use various trademarks, trade names and service marks, including our logos, in our advertising and promotions. We believe that the strength of our trademarks, trade names and service marks are important to our business and intend to protect and promote them as appropriate. We do not hold or depend upon any material patent, government license, franchise or concession, except our broadcast licenses granted by the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”).

Employees
 
As of December 31, 2001, we had approximately 1,206 full-time employees, including 614 full-time employees in television, 384 full-time employees in radio, 57 full-time employees in outdoor and 151 full-time employees in publishing. As of December 31, 2001, 117 of our publishing employees were represented by labor unions that have entered into collective bargaining agreements with us. As of December 31, 2001, 9 of our full-time outdoor employees were represented by labor unions that have entered into or are currently in negotiations for collective bargaining agreements with us. We believe our relations with our employees are good.
 
Regulation of Television and Radio Broadcasting
 
General.    The FCC regulates television and radio broadcast stations pursuant to the Communications Act of 1934 (the “Communications Act”). Among other things, the FCC:
 
 
 
determines the particular frequencies, locations and operating power of stations;
 
 
 
issues, renews, revokes and modifies station licenses;
 
 
 
regulates equipment used by stations; and
 
 
 
adopts and implements regulations and policies that directly or indirectly affect the ownership, changes in ownership, control, operation and employment practices of stations.
 
A licensee’s failure to observe the requirements of the Communications Act or FCC rules and policies may result in the imposition of various sanctions, including admonishment, fines, the grant of renewal terms of less than eight years, the grant of a license with conditions or, in the case of particularly egregious violations, the denial of a license renewal application, the revocation of an FCC license or the denial of FCC consent to acquire additional broadcast properties.
 
Congress and the FCC have had under consideration or reconsideration, and may in the future consider and adopt, new laws, regulations and policies regarding a wide variety of matters that could, directly or indirectly, affect the operation, ownership and profitability of our television and radio stations, result in the loss of audience share and advertising revenue for our television and radio broadcast stations or affect our ability to acquire additional television and radio broadcast stations or finance such acquisitions. Such matters may include:
 
 
 
changes to the license authorization and renewal process;
 
 
 
proposals to impose spectrum use or other fees on FCC licensees;
 
 
 
changes to the FCC’s equal employment opportunity regulations and other matters relating to involvement of minorities and women in the broadcasting industry;
 
 
 
proposals to change rules relating to political broadcasting including proposals to grant free air time to candidates;
 
 
 
proposals to restrict or prohibit the advertising of beer, wine and other alcoholic beverages;
 
 
 
technical and frequency allocation matters, including a new Class A television service for existing low-power television stations and a new low-power FM radio broadcast service;
 
 
 
the implementation of digital audio broadcasting on both satellite and terrestrial bases;
 
 
 
the implementation of rules governing the transmission of local television signals by direct broadcast satellite services in their local areas, and requiring cable television and direct broadcast satellite to carry local television digital signals;
 
 
 
changes in broadcast multiple ownership, foreign ownership, cross-ownership and ownership attribution policies; and
 
 
 
proposals to alter provisions of the tax laws affecting broadcast operations and acquisitions.

16


Table of Contents
 
We cannot predict what changes, if any, might be adopted, nor can we predict what other matters might be considered in the future, nor can we judge in advance what impact, if any, the implementation of any particular proposal or change might have on our business.
 
FCC Licenses.    Television and radio stations operate pursuant to licenses that are granted by the FCC for a term of eight years, subject to renewal upon application to the FCC. During the periods when renewal applications are pending, petitions to deny license renewal applications may be filed by interested parties, including members of the public. The FCC may hold hearings on renewal applications if it is unable to determine that renewal of a license would serve the public interest, convenience and necessity, or if a petition to deny raises a “substantial and material question of fact” as to whether the grant of the renewal applications would be inconsistent with the public interest, convenience and necessity. However, the FCC is prohibited from considering competing applications for a renewal applicant’s frequency, and is required to grant the renewal application if it finds:
 
 
 
that the station has served the public interest, convenience and necessity;
 
 
 
that there have been no serious violations by the licensee of the Communications Act or the rules and regulations of the FCC; and
 
 
 
that there have been no other violations by the licensee of the Communications Act or the rules and regulations of the FCC that, when taken together, would constitute a pattern of abuse.
 
If as a result of an evidentiary hearing, the FCC determines that the licensee has failed to meet the requirements for renewal and that no mitigating factors justify the imposition of a lesser sanction, the FCC may deny a license renewal application. Historically, FCC licenses have generally been renewed. We have no reason to believe that our licenses will not be renewed in the ordinary course, although there can be no assurance to that effect. The non-renewal of one or more of our stations’ licenses could have a material adverse effect on our business.
 
Ownership Matters.    The Communications Act requires prior consent of the FCC for the assignment of a broadcast license or the transfer of control of a corporation or other entity holding a license. In determining whether to approve an assignment of a television or radio broadcast license or a transfer of control of a broadcast licensee, the FCC considers a number of factors pertaining to the licensee including compliance with various rules limiting common ownership of media properties, the “character” of the licensee and those persons holding “attributable” interests therein, and the Communications Act’s limitations on foreign ownership and compliance with the FCC rules and regulations.
 
To obtain the FCC’s prior consent to assign or transfer a broadcast license, appropriate applications must be filed with the FCC. If the application to assign or transfer the license involves a substantial change in ownership or control of the licensee, for example, the transfer or acquisition of more than 50% of the voting equity, the application must be placed on public notice for a period of 30 days during which petitions to deny the application may be filed by interested parties, including members of the public. If an assignment application does not involve new parties, or if a transfer of control application does not involve a “substantial” change in ownership or control, it is a pro forma application, which is not subject to the public notice and 30-day petition to deny procedure. The regular and pro forma applications are nevertheless subject to informal objections that may be filed any time until the FCC acts on the application. If the FCC grants an assignment or transfer application, interested parties have 30 days from public notice of the grant to seek reconsideration of that grant. The FCC has an additional ten days to set aside such grant on its own motion. When ruling on an assignment or transfer application, the FCC is prohibited from considering whether the public interest might be served by an assignment or transfer to any party other than the assignee or transferee specified in the application.
 
Under the Communications Act, a broadcast license may not be granted to or held by persons who are not U.S. citizens, by any corporation that has more than 20% of its capital stock owned or voted by non-U.S. citizens or entities or their representatives, by foreign governments or their representatives or by non-U.S. corporations.

17


Table of Contents
Furthermore, the Communications Act provides that no FCC broadcast license may be granted to or held by any corporation directly or indirectly controlled by any other corporation of which more than 25% of its capital stock is owned of record or voted by non-U.S. citizens or entities or their representatives, or foreign governments or their representatives or by non-U.S. corporations, if the FCC finds the public interest will be served by the refusal or revocation of such license. Thus, the licenses for our stations could be revoked if more than 25% of our outstanding capital stock is issued to or for the benefit of non-U.S. citizens in excess of these limitations. Our first restated certificate of incorporation restricts the ownership and voting of our capital stock to comply with these requirements.
 
The FCC generally applies its other broadcast ownership limits to “attributable” interests held by an individual, corporation or other association or entity. In the case of a corporation holding broadcast licenses, the interests of officers, directors and those who, directly or indirectly, have the right to vote 5% or more of the stock of a licensee corporation are generally deemed attributable interests, as are positions as an officer or director of a corporate parent of a broadcast licensee.
 
Stock interests held by insurance companies, mutual funds, bank trust departments and certain other passive investors that hold stock for investment purposes only become attributable with the ownership of 20% or more of the voting stock of the corporation holding broadcast licenses.
 
A time brokerage agreement with another television or radio station in the same market creates an attributable interest in the brokered television or radio station as well for purposes of the FCC’s local television or radio station ownership rules, if the agreement affects more than 15% of the brokered television or radio station’s weekly broadcast hours.
 
Debt instruments, non-voting stock, options and warrants for voting stock that have not yet been exercised, insulated limited partnership interests where the limited partner is not “materially involved” in the media-related activities of the partnership and minority voting stock interests in corporations where there is a single holder of more than 50% of the outstanding voting stock whose vote is sufficient to affirmatively direct the affairs of the corporation generally do not subject their holders to attribution.
 
However, the FCC now applies a rule, known as the equity-debt-plus rule, that causes certain creditors or investors to be attributable owners of a station, regardless of whether there is a single majority stockholder or other applicable exception to the FCC’s attribution rules. Under this new rule, a major programming supplier (any programming supplier that provides more than 15% of the station’s weekly programming hours) or a same-market media entity will be an attributable owner of a station if the supplier or same-market media entity holds debt or equity, or both, in the station that is greater than 33% of the value of the station’s total debt plus equity. For purposes of the equity-debt-plus rule, equity includes all stock, whether voting or nonvoting, and equity held by insulated limited partners in limited partnerships. Debt includes all liabilities, whether long-term or short-term.
 
Generally, the FCC only permits an owner to have one television station per market. A single owner is permitted to have two stations with overlapping signals so long as they are assigned to different markets. Recent changes to the FCC’s rules regarding ownership now permit an owner to operate two television stations assigned to the same market so long as either:
 
 
 
the television stations do not have overlapping broadcast signals; or
 
 
 
there will remain after the transaction eight independently owned, full power noncommercial or commercial operating television stations in the market and one of the two commonly-owned stations is not ranked in the top four based upon audience share.
 
The FCC will consider waiving these ownership restrictions in certain cases involving failing or failed stations or stations which are not yet built.

18


Table of Contents
 
The FCC permits a television station owner to own one radio station in the same market as its television station. In addition, a television station owner is permitted to own additional radio stations, not to exceed the local ownership limits for the market, as follows:
 
 
 
in markets where 20 media voices will remain, an owner may own an additional five radio stations, or, if the owner only has one television station, an additional six radio stations; and
 
 
 
in markets where ten media voices will remain, an owner may own an additional three radio stations.
 
A “media voice” includes each independently-owned and operated full-power television and radio station and each daily newspaper that has a circulation exceeding 5% of the households in the market, plus one voice for all cable television systems operating in the market.
 
The FCC has eliminated the limitation on the number of radio stations a single individual or entity may own nationwide and increased the limits on the number of stations an entity or individual may own in a market as follows:
 
 
 
In a radio market with 45 or more commercial radio stations, a party may own, operate or control up to eight commercial radio stations, not more than five of which are in the same service (AM or FM).
 
 
 
In a radio market with between 30 and 44 (inclusive) commercial radio stations, a party may own, operate or control up to seven commercial radio stations, not more than four of which are in the same service (AM or FM).
 
 
 
In a radio market with between 15 and 29 (inclusive) commercial radio stations, a party may own, operate or control up to six commercial radio stations, not more than four of which are in the same service (AM or FM).
 
 
 
In a radio market with 14 or fewer commercial radio stations, a party may own, operate or control up to five commercial radio stations, not more than three of which are in the same service (AM or FM), except that a party may not own, operate, or control more than 50% of the radio stations in such market.
 
The FCC has notified the public of its intention to review transactions that comply with these numerical ownership limits but that might involve undue concentration of market share. The FCC has also solicited comments from the public on whether it should alter the way in which it defines radio markets for purposes of these rules.
 
Because of these multiple and cross-ownership rules, if a stockholder, officer or director of Entravision holds an “attributable” interest in Entravision, such stockholder, officer or director may violate the FCC’s rules if such person or entity also holds or acquires an attributable interest in other television or radio stations or daily newspapers, depending on their number and location. If an attributable stockholder, officer or director of Entravision violates any of these ownership rules, we may be unable to obtain from the FCC one or more authorizations needed to conduct our broadcast business and may be unable to obtain FCC consents for certain future acquisitions.
 
Recent court rulings have called into question the validity of the FCC’s current ownership limitations involving local market and nationwide limitations and even the FCC’s authority to impose such limits. In addition, the FCC has announced that it is considering changes to or possible elimination of its ownership limit rules. The various FCC proceedings and judicial review thereof are ongoing. At this time it is difficult to predict the future of the FCC’s restrictions on how many stations a party may own, operate and/or control, and the effect that such changes may have upon our future acquisitions and competition we experience from other companies.
 
The Communications Act requires broadcasters to serve the “public interest.” The FCC has relaxed or eliminated many of the more formalized procedures it developed to promote the broadcast of certain types of programming responsive to the needs of a broadcast station’s community of license. Nevertheless, a broadcast

19


Table of Contents
licensee continues to be required to present programming in response to community problems, needs and interests and to maintain certain records demonstrating its responsiveness. The FCC will consider complaints from the public about a broadcast station’s programming when it evaluates the licensee’s renewal application, but complaints also may be filed and considered at any time. Stations also must follow various FCC rules that regulate, among other things, political broadcasting, the broadcast of obscene or indecent programming, sponsorship identification, the broadcast of contests and lotteries and technical operation.
 
The FCC requires that licensees must not discriminate in hiring practices.
 
The FCC rules also prohibit a broadcast licensee from simulcasting more than 25% of its programming on another radio station in the same broadcast service (that is, AM/AM or FM/FM). The simulcasting restriction applies if the licensee owns both radio broadcast stations or owns one and programs the other through a local marketing agreement, provided that the contours of the radio stations overlap in a certain manner.
 
“Must Carry” Rules.    FCC regulations implementing the Cable Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992 (the “Cable Act”) require each full-service television broadcaster to elect, at three year intervals beginning October 1, 1993, to either:
 
 
 
require carriage of its signal by cable systems in the station’s market, which is referred to as “must carry” rules; or
 
 
 
negotiate the terms on which such broadcast station would permit transmission of its signal by the cable systems within its market which is referred to as “retransmission consent.”
 
We have elected “must carry” with respect to each of our full-power stations.
 
Under the FCC’s rules currently in effect, cable systems are only required to carry one signal from each local broadcast television station. As our systems begin broadcasting digital signals in 2002, the cable systems that carry our stations’ analog signals will not be required to carry such digital signal until we discontinue our analog broadcasting. Also, under current FCC rules, the cable systems will be required to carry only one channel of digital signal from each of our stations, even though we may be capable of broadcasting multiple programs simultaneously within the bandwidth that the FCC has allotted to us for digital broadcasting.
 
Time Brokerage Agreements.    We have, from time to time, entered into time brokerage agreements, generally in connection with pending station acquisitions, under which we are given the right to broker time on stations owned by third parties, or agree that other parties may broker time on our stations. By using time brokerage agreements, we can provide programming and other services to a station proposed to be acquired before we receive all applicable FCC and other governmental approvals. As indicated, we have, from time to time, entered into time brokerage agreements giving third parties the right to broker time on stations owned by us.
 
FCC rules and policies generally permit time brokerage agreements if the station licensee retains ultimate responsibility for and control of the applicable station. We cannot be sure that we will be able to air all of our scheduled programming on a station with which we have time brokerage agreements or that we will receive the anticipated revenue from the sale of advertising for such programming.
 
Stations may enter into cooperative arrangements known as joint sales agreements. Under the typical joint sales agreement, a station licensee obtains, for a fee, the right to sell substantially all of the commercial advertising on a separately-owned and licensed station in the same market. It also involves the provision by the selling party of certain sales, accounting and services to the station whose advertising is being sold. Unlike a time brokerage agreement, the typical joint sales agreement does not involve programming.
 
As part of its increased scrutiny of television and radio station acquisitions, the Department of Justice has stated publicly that it believes that time brokerage agreements and joint sales agreements could violate the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, if such agreements take effect prior to the

20


Table of Contents
expiration of the waiting period under such Act. Furthermore, the Department of Justice has noted that joint sales agreements may raise antitrust concerns under Section 1 of the Sherman Antitrust Act and has challenged them in certain locations. The Department of Justice also has stated publicly that it has established certain revenue and audience share concentration benchmarks with respect to television and radio station acquisitions, above which a transaction may receive additional antitrust scrutiny. See “Business—Risks Related to the Television, Radio, Outdoor Advertising and Publishing Industries” below.
 
Digital Television Services.    The FCC has adopted rules for implementing digital television service in the U.S. Implementation of digital television will improve the technical quality of television signals and provide broadcasters the flexibility to offer new services, including high-definition television and data broadcasting.
 
The FCC has established service rules and adopted a table of allotments for digital television. Under the table, certain eligible broadcasters with a full-service television station are allocated a separate channel for digital television operation. Stations will be permitted to phase in their digital television operations over a period of years after which they will be required to surrender their license to broadcast the analog, or non-digital television signal. Our stations must be on the air with a digital signal by May 1, 2002, and we have developed a plan for complying with this requirement. We must return one of our paired channels for each station to the government by 2006, except that this deadline may be extended until digital television receivers reach an 85% market penetration.
 
Equipment and other costs associated with the transition to digital television, including the necessity of temporary dual-mode operations and the relocation of stations from one channel to another, will impose some near-term financial costs on television stations providing the services. The potential also exists for new sources of revenue to be derived from digital television. We cannot predict the overall effect the transition to digital television might have on our business.
 
Digital Radio Services.    The FCC currently is considering standards for evaluating, authorizing and implementing terrestrial digital audio broadcasting technology, including In-Band On-Channel technology for FM radio stations. Digital audio broadcasting’s advantages over traditional analog broadcasting technology include improved sound quality and the ability to offer a greater variety of auxiliary services. In-Band On-Channel technology would permit an FM station to transmit radio programming in both analog and digital formats, or in digital only formats, using the bandwidth that the radio station is currently licensed to use. It is unclear what regulations the FCC will adopt regarding digital audio broadcasting or In-Band On-Channel technology and what effect such regulations would have on our business or the operations of our radio stations.
 
Radio Frequency Radiation.    The FCC has adopted rules limiting human exposure to levels of radio frequency radiation. These rules require applicants for renewal of broadcast licenses or modification of existing licenses to inform the FCC whether the applicant’s broadcast facility would expose people or employees to excessive radio frequency radiation. We believe that all of our stations are in compliance with the FCC’s current rules regarding radio frequency radiation exposure.
 
Satellite Digital Audio Radio Service.    The FCC has allocated spectrum to a new technology, satellite digital audio radio service, to deliver satellite-based audio programming to a national or regional audience. The nationwide reach of the satellite digital audio radio service could allow niche programming aimed at diverse communities that we are targeting. Two companies that hold licenses for authority to offer multiple channels of digital, satellite-delivered radio could compete with conventional terrestrial radio broadcasting. These competitors have commenced limited operations and both are expected to be offering their services nationwide by the end of 2002.
 
Low-Power Radio Broadcast Service.    On January 20, 2000, the FCC adopted rules creating a new low-power FM radio service. The low-power FM service consists of two classes of radio stations, with maximum power levels of either 10 watts or 100 watts. The 10 watt stations will reach an area with a radius of between one

21


Table of Contents
and two miles and the 100 watt stations will reach an area with a radius of approximately three and one-half miles. The low-power FM stations are required to protect other existing FM stations, as currently required of full-powered FM stations.
 
The low-power FM service will be exclusively non-commercial. It is difficult to predict what impact, if any, the new low-power FM service will have on technical interference with our stations’ signals or competition for our stations’ audiences. Because of the legislation passed by Congress in 2000 which protected incumbent radio broadcasters on frequency three channels away, we expect that low-power FM service will cause little or no signal interference with our stations.
 
Other Pending FCC and Legislative Proceedings.    The Satellite Home Viewer Improvement Act of 1999 (“SHVIA”) allows satellite carriers to deliver broadcast programming to subscribers who are unable to obtain television network programming over the air from local television stations. Congress in 1999 enacted legislation to amend the SHVIA to facilitate the ability of satellite carriers to provide subscribers with programming from local television stations. Any satellite company that has chosen to provide local-into-local service must provide subscribers with all of the local broadcast television signals that are assigned to the market and where television licensees ask to be carried on the satellite system. We have taken advantage of this law to secure carriage of our full-service stations in those markets where the satellite operators have implemented local-into-local service.
 
Regulation of Outdoor Advertising
 
Outdoor advertising is subject to extensive governmental regulation at the federal, state and local levels. Federal law, principally the Highway Beautification Act of 1965 (the “Highway Beautification Act”) regulates outdoor advertising on federally aided primary and interstate highways. As a condition to federal highway assistance, the Highway Beautification Act requires states to restrict billboards on such highways to commercial and industrial areas and imposes certain additional size, spacing and other limitations. All states have passed state billboard control statutes and regulations at least as restrictive as the federal requirements, including removal of any illegal signs on such highways at the owner’s expense and without compensation. We believe that the number of our billboards that may be subject to removal as illegal is immaterial. No state in which we operate has banned billboards, but some have adopted standards more restrictive than the federal requirements. Municipal and county governments generally also have sign controls as part of their zoning laws. Some local governments prohibit construction of new billboards and some allow new construction only to replace existing structures, although most allow construction of billboards subject to restrictions on zones, size, spacing and height.
 
Federal law does not require the removal of existing lawful billboards, but does require payment of compensation if a state or political subdivision compels the removal of a lawful billboard along a federally aided primary or interstate highway. State governments have purchased and removed legal billboards for beautification in the past, using federal funding for transportation enhancement programs, and may do so in the future. Governmental authorities from time to time use the power of eminent domain to remove billboards. Thus far, we have been able to obtain satisfactory compensation for any of our billboards purchased or removed as a result of governmental action, although there is no assurance that this will continue to be the case in the future. Local governments do not generally purchase billboards for beautification, but some have attempted to force the removal of legal but nonconforming billboards (billboards which conformed with applicable zoning regulations when built but which do not conform to current zoning regulations) after a period of years under a concept called “amortization,” by which the governmental body asserts that just compensation is earned by continued operation over time. Although there is some question as to the legality of amortization under federal and many state laws, amortization has been upheld in some instances. We generally have been successful in negotiating settlements with municipalities for billboards required to be removed. Restrictive regulations also limit our ability to rebuild or replace nonconforming billboards. In addition, we are unable to predict what additional regulations may be imposed on outdoor advertising in the future. The outdoor advertising industry is heavily regulated and at various times and in various markets can be expected to be subject to varying degrees of regulatory pressure affecting the operation of advertising displays.

Under the terms of a settlement agreement among U.S. tobacco companies and 46 states, tobacco companies discontinued all advertising on billboards and buses in the 46 participating states as of April 23, 1999. The remaining four states had already reached separate settlements with the tobacco industry. We removed all tobacco billboards and advertising in these states in compliance with the settlement deadlines.
 
In addition to the above settlement agreements, state and local governments are also considering regulating the outdoor advertising of alcohol products. Alcohol-related advertising represented approximately 8% of the total revenue of our outdoor billboard business in 2001. As a matter of both company policy and industry practice (on a voluntary basis), we do not post any alcohol advertisements within a 500 square foot radius of any school, church or hospital. Any significant reduction in alcohol-related advertising due to content-related restrictions could cause a reduction in our direct revenue from such advertisements and a simultaneous increase in the available space on the existing inventory of billboards in the outdoor advertising industry.
 
Seasonality
 
Seasonal net broadcast revenue fluctuations are common in the television and radio broadcasting industry and are due primarily to fluctuations in advertising expenditures by local and national advertisers. Our first fiscal quarter generally produces the lowest net broadcast revenue for the year.
 
Risk Factors
 
Risks Related To Our Business
 
We have a history of losses that if continued into the future could adversely affect the market price of our securities and our ability to raise capital.
 
We had net losses of approximately $40 million, $92.2 million and $65.8 million for the years ended December 31, 1999, 2000 and 2001, respectively. In addition, we had pro forma net losses of $37.6 million and $86.3 million for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 2000, respectively, and net losses applicable to common stock of $94.7 million and $75.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 2001, respectively. We believe that losses may continue while we pursue our acquisition strategy. If we cannot generate profits in the future, it could adversely affect the market price of our securities, which in turn could adversely affect our ability to raise additional equity capital or to incur additional debt.
 
Cancellations or reductions of advertising could adversely affect our results of operations.
 
In the competitive broadcasting industry, the success of each of our television and radio stations is primarily dependent upon its share of the overall advertising revenue within its market. Although we believe that each of our stations can compete effectively in its broadcast area, we cannot be sure that any of our stations can maintain or increase its current audience ratings or market share, or that advertisers will not decrease the amount they spend on advertising.
 
Our advertising revenue may suffer if any of our stations cannot maintain its audience ratings or market share. Shifts in population, demographics, audience tastes and other factors beyond our control could cause us to lose market share. Our stations also compete for audiences and advertising revenue directly with other television and radio stations, and some of the owners of those competing stations have greater resources than we do. If a competing station converts to a format similar to that of one of our stations, or if one of our competitors strengthens its operations, our stations could suffer a reduction in ratings and advertising revenue.
 
Additionally, we believe that advertising is a discretionary business expense, meaning that spending on advertising may decline during an economic recession or downturn. Consequently, a recession or downturn in the

U.S. economy or the economy of an individual geographic market in which we own or operate stations could adversely affect our advertising revenue and, therefore, our results of operations.
 
We do not obtain long-term commitments from our advertisers, and advertisers may cancel, reduce or postpone orders without penalty. Cancellations, reductions or delays in purchases of advertising could adversely affect our revenue, especially if we are unable to replace such purchases. Our expense levels are based, in part, on expected future revenue and are relatively fixed once set. Therefore, unforeseen fluctuations in advertising sales could adversely impact our operating results.
 
Our growth depends on successfully executing our acquisition strategy.
 
One of our strategies is to supplement our internal growth by acquiring media properties that complement or augment our existing markets. This growth has placed, and may continue to place, significant demands on our management, working capital and financial resources. We may be unable to identify or complete acquisitions for many reasons, including:
 
 
 
competition among buyers;
 
 
 
the need for regulatory approvals, including FCC and antitrust approvals;
 
 
 
the high valuations of media properties; and
 
 
 
we may be required to raise additional financing and our ability to do so is limited by the terms of our debt instruments, which may prevent future acquisitions and have a material adverse effect on our ability to grow through acquisitions.
 
In addition, we experienced significant growth during 2001, primarily due to our acquisitions. Therefore, we do not expect to experience the same rate of growth in 2002.
 
If we cannot successfully integrate our recent and future acquisitions, it could decrease our revenue and/or increase our costs.
 
To integrate our recent and future acquisitions, we may need to:
 
 
 
integrate and improve operations and systems and the management of a station or group of stations;
 
 
 
retain key management and personnel of acquired properties;
 
 
 
successfully merge corporate cultures and business processes;
 
 
 
realize sales efficiencies and cost reduction benefits; and
 
 
 
operate successfully in markets in which we may have little or no prior experience.
 
Future acquisitions by us could result in the following consequences:
 
 
 
dilutive issuances of equity securities;
 
 
 
incurrence of debt and contingent liabilities;
 
 
 
impairment of goodwill and other intangibles;
 
 
 
other acquisition-related expenses; and
 
 
 
acquired stations may not increase our broadcast cash flow or yield other anticipated benefits.
 
In addition, after we have completed an acquisition, our management must be able to assume significantly greater responsibilities, and this in turn may cause them to divert their attention from our existing operations. We

24


Table of Contents
believe that these challenges are more pronounced when we enter new markets rather than expand further in existing markets. If we are unable to completely integrate into our business the operations of the properties that we have recently acquired or that we may acquire in the future, our revenue could decrease and/or our costs could increase. In addition, in the event that the operations of a new station do not meet our expectations, we may restructure or write-off the value of some portion of the assets of the new station.
 
If we cannot raise required capital, we may have to curtail existing operations and our future growth through acquisitions.
 
We may require significant additional capital for future acquisitions and general working capital needs. If our cash flow and existing working capital are not sufficient to fund future acquisitions and our general working capital requirements and debt service, we will have to raise additional funds by selling equity, refinancing some or all of our existing debt or selling assets or subsidiaries. None of these alternatives for raising additional funds may be available on acceptable terms to us or in amounts sufficient for us to meet our requirements. Our failure to obtain any required new financing may prevent future acquisitions and have a material adverse effect on our ability to grow through acquisitions.
 
Our substantial level of debt could limit our ability to grow and compete.
 
As of December 31, 2001, we had approximately $214.0 million of debt outstanding under our bank credit facility. Additionally, on March 18, 2002, we issued the Notes, the proceeds of which were used to repay all of our outstanding debt under our bank credit facility and for general corporate purposes. We expect to obtain a portion of our required capital through debt financing that bears or is likely to bear interest at a variable rate, subjecting us to interest rate risk. A significant portion of our cash flow from operations will be dedicated to servicing our debt obligations and our ability to obtain additional financing may be limited.
 
We may not have sufficient future cash flow to meet our debt payments, or we may not be able to refinance any of our debt at maturity. We have pledged substantially all of our assets to our lenders as collateral. Our lenders could proceed against the collateral granted to them to repay outstanding indebtedness if we are unable to meet our debt service obligations. If the amounts outstanding under our bank credit facility are accelerated, our assets may not be sufficient to repay in full the money owed to such lenders.
 
Our substantial indebtedness could adversely affect our financial position and prevent us from fulfilling our obligations under our bank credit facility and the Notes.
 
Our substantial indebtedness could have important consequences to our business. For example, it could:
 
 
 
limit our ability to borrow additional amounts for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, debt service requirements, execution of our growth strategy or other purposes;
 
 
 
require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow to pay principal and interest on our debt, which will reduce the funds available for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other general corporate purposes;
 
 
 
limit our flexibility in planning for and reacting to changes in our business and our industry that could make us more vulnerable to adverse changes in general economic, industry and competitive conditions and adverse changes in government regulation; and
 
 
 
place us at a disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less debt.
 
Any of the above listed factors could materially adversely affect us.
 

25


Table of Contents
To service our indebtedness, we will require a significant amount of cash. Our ability to generate cash depends on many factors beyond our control.
 
Our ability to pay the principal of and interest on the Notes, to service our other debt and to finance indebtedness when necessary depends on our financial and operating performance, each of which is subject to prevailing economic conditions and to financial, business, legislative and regulatory factors and other factors beyond our control.
 
There can be no assurance that we will generate sufficient cash flow from operations or that we will be able to obtain sufficient funding to satisfy all of our obligations, including the Notes. If we are unable to pay our debts, we will be required to pursue one or more alternative strategies, such as selling assets, refinancing or restructuring our indebtedness or selling additional debt or equity securities. In addition, the ability to borrow funds under our bank credit facility in the future will depend on our meeting the financial covenants in the agreements governing this facility, including a minimum interest coverage test and a maximum leverage ratio test. There can be no assurance that our business will generate cash flow from operations or that future borrowings will be available to us under our bank credit facility, in an amount sufficient to enable us to pay our debt or to fund other liquidity needs. As a result, we may need to refinance all or a portion of our debt on or before maturity. However, there can be no assurance that any alternative strategies will be feasible at the time or prove adequate. Also, some alternative strategies will require the consent of our lenders before we engage in those strategies.
 
The indenture for the Notes and the credit agreement governing our bank credit facility contain various covenants that limit our management’s discretion in the operations of our business.
 
The indenture governing the Notes and the credit agreement governing our bank credit facility contain various provisions that limit our ability to:
 
 
 
incur additional debt and issue preferred stock;
 
 
 
pay dividends and make other distributions;
 
 
 
make investments and other restricted payments;
 
 
 
create liens;
 
 
 
sell assets; and
 
 
 
enter into certain transactions with affiliates.
 
These restrictions on our management’s ability to operate our business in accordance with its discretion could have a material adverse effect on our business.
 
In addition, our bank credit facility requires that we maintain specific financial ratios. Events beyond our control could affect our ability to meet those financial ratios, and there can be no assurance that we will meet them.
 
If we default under any financing agreements, our lenders could:
 
 
 
elect to declare all amounts borrowed to be immediately due and payable, together with accrued and unpaid interest; and/or
 
 
 
terminate their commitments, if any, to make further extensions of credit.
 
Our bank facility and the indenture under which we issued the Notes also require us to maintain specific financial ratios. A breach of any of the covenants contained in our bank credit facility or the Indenture could allow our lenders to declare all amounts outstanding to be immediately due and payable.
 
If we are unable to pay our obligations to our senior secured lenders, they could proceed against any or all of the collateral securing our indebtedness to them. The collateral under our bank credit facility consists of

26


Table of Contents
substantially all of our existing assets. In addition, a breach of certain of these restrictions or covenants, or an acceleration by our senior secured lenders of our obligations to them, would cause a default under the Notes. We may not have, or be able to obtain, sufficient funds to make accelerated payments, including payments on the Notes, or to repay the Notes in full after we pay our senior secured lenders to the extent of their collateral.
 
Univision has significant influence over our business.
 
Univision, as the holder of all of our Class C common stock, has significant influence over material decisions relating to our business, including the right to elect two of our directors, and the right to approve material decisions involving our company, including any merger, consolidation or other business combination, any dissolution of our company and any transfer of the FCC licenses for any of our Univision-affiliated television stations. Univision’s ownership interest may have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing a change in control of our company and may make some transactions more difficult or impossible to complete without its support.
 
Our television ratings and revenue could decline significantly if our relationship with Univision or if Univision’s success changes in an adverse manner.
 
If our relationship with Univision changes in an adverse manner, or if Univision’s success diminishes, it could have a material adverse effect on our ability to generate television advertising revenue on which our television business depends. Univision’s ratings might decline or Univision might not continue to provide programming, marketing, available advertising time and other support to its affiliates on the same basis as currently provided. Additionally, by aligning ourselves closely with Univision, we might forego other opportunities that could diversify our television programming and avoid dependence on Univision’s television networks. Univision’s relationships with Grupo Televisa, S.A. de C.V. and Corporacion Venezolana de Television, C.A., or Venevision, are important to Univision’s, and consequently our, continued success.
 
Our ongoing success is dependent upon the continued availability of certain key employees.
 
We are dependent in our operations on the continued availability of the services of our employees, many of whom are individually key to our current and future success, and the availability of new employees to implement our company’s growth plans. In particular, we are dependent upon the services of Walter Ulloa, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and Philip Wilkinson, our President and Chief Operating Officer. In August 2000, we entered into five-year employment agreements with Messrs. Ulloa and Wilkinson. The market for skilled employees is highly competitive, especially for employees in technical fields. While our compensation programs are intended to attract and retain the employees required for us to be successful, there can be no assurance that we will be able to retain the services of all of our key employees or a sufficient number to execute our plans, nor can there be any assurances that we will be able to continue to attract new employees as required.
 
Our officers and directors and stockholders affiliated with them own a large percentage of our voting stock.
 
As of December 31, 2001, Messrs. Ulloa and Wilkinson, and Paul Zevnik, our Secretary, own all of the shares of our Class B common stock, and have approximately 75% of the combined voting power of our outstanding shares of common stock. The holders of our Class B common stock are entitled to ten votes per share on any matter subject to a vote of the stockholders. Accordingly, Messrs. Ulloa, Wilkinson and Zevnik have the ability to elect each of the remaining members of our board of directors, other than the two members of our board of directors appointed by Univision, and have control of all aspects of our business and future direction. Messrs. Ulloa, Wilkinson and Zevnik have agreed contractually to elect themselves and a representative of TSG Capital Fund III, L.P. as directors of our company. This control may discourage certain types of transactions involving an actual or potential change of control of our company, such as a merger or sale of our company.
 
Consequently, our directors and executive officers, acting in concert, have the ability to significantly affect the election of our directors and have a significant effect on the outcome of corporate actions requiring stockholder approval. Such concentration may also have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control of our company.

Risks associated with terrorism.
 
In the event of a terrorist attack on our facilities and properties, we do not believe that we would be vulnerable to significant or prolonged disruptions in our ability to broadcast or provide other media services. We do not believe that, but we do not know whether, our network television programming would be vulnerable to significant or prolonged disruptions in the event of a terrorist attack. The effect of any resulting decline in our revenue cannot be determined.
 
Risks Related to the Television, Radio, Outdoor Advertising and Publishing Industries
 
Our television and radio stations could be adversely affected by changes in the advertising market or a recession in the broader U.S. economy.
 
Revenue generated by our television and radio stations depends upon the sale of advertising and is, therefore, subject to various factors that influence the advertising market for the broadcasting industry as a whole, including:
 
 
 
changes in the financial condition of advertisers, which may reduce their advertising budgets;
 
 
 
changes in the tax laws applicable to advertisers; and
 
 
 
changes in the laws governing political advertising.
 
We cannot predict which, if any, of these or other factors might have a significant impact on the advertising revenue of the broadcasting industry in the future, nor can we predict what specific impact, if any, the occurrence of these or other events might have on our operations. Generally, advertising expenditures tend to decline during an economic recession or downturn. Consequently, our television and radio station revenue is likely to be adversely affected by a recession or downturn in the U.S. economy or other events or circumstances that adversely affect advertising activity. Our operating results in individual geographic markets also could be adversely affected by local regional economic downturns. Seasonal revenue fluctuations are common in the broadcasting industry and result primarily from fluctuations in advertising expenditures by local retailers and candidates for political office. Campaign finance reform legislation may restrict the amounts of money that we earn from political campaign and issue advertising.
 
If we are unable to maintain our FCC license for any station, we would have to cease operations at that station.
 
The success of our television and radio operations depends, in part, on acquiring and maintaining broadcast licenses issued by the FCC, which are typically issued for a maximum term of eight years and are subject to renewal. Our FCC licenses are next subject to renewal at various times between October 1, 2004 and December 1, 2006. Renewal applications submitted by us may not be approved, and the FCC may impose conditions or qualifications that could restrict our television and radio operations. In addition, third parties may challenge our renewal applications. If the FCC were to issue an order denying a license renewal application or revoking a license, we would be required to cease operating the broadcast station covered by the license. This could have a material adverse effect on our operations.
 
Our failure to maintain our FCC broadcast licenses could cause a default under our bank credit facility and cause an acceleration of our indebtedness.
 
Our bank credit facility requires us to maintain our FCC licenses. If the FCC were to revoke any of our material licenses, our lender could declare all amounts outstanding under the bank credit facility to be immediately due and payable. If our indebtedness is accelerated, we may not have sufficient funds to pay the amounts owed.

Displacement of any of our low-power television stations could cause our ratings and revenue for any such station to decrease.
 
A significant portion of our television stations are licensed by the FCC for low-power service only. Our low-power television stations operate with far less power and coverage than our full-service stations. The FCC rules under which we operate provide that low-power television stations are treated as a secondary service. In the event that our stations would cause interference to full-power stations, we are required to eliminate the interference or terminate service. As a result of the FCC’s initiation of digital television service and actions by Congress to reclaim broadcast spectrum, channels 52-69 previously used for broadcasting will be cleared and put up for auction generally to wireless services or assignment to public safety services. The result is that in a few urban markets where we operate, including Washington, D.C. and San Diego, there are a limited number of alternative channels to which our low-power television stations can migrate as they are displaced by full-power broadcasters and non-broadcast services. If we are unable to move our signals to replacement channels, we may be unable to maintain the same level of service, which could harm our ratings and advertising revenue or, in the worst case, cause us to discontinue operations at those low-power television stations.
 
The required conversion to digital television may impose significant costs which might not be balanced by consumer demand and we may have difficulty meeting certain FCC deadlines.
 
The FCC requires U.S. full-service television stations to begin broadcasting a digital television (“DTV”) signal by May 1, 2002. The FCC has allocated an additional television channel to most such station owners so that each full-service television station can broadcast a DTV signal on the additional channel while continuing to broadcast an analog signal on the station’s original channel. As part of the transition from analog to DTV, full-service television station owners may be required to stop broadcasting analog signals and relinquish their analog channels to the FCC by 2006 if the market penetration of DTV receivers reaches certain levels by that time. Our cost to construct DTV facilities and broadcast both digital and analog signals for our full-service television stations between 2002 and 2006 will be significant.
 
Certain of our full-service television stations will not meet the May 1, 2002 deadline to begin broadcasting a DTV signal. In certain cases, the inability to meet the deadline results from the FCC having not yet granted construction permits authorizing us to build the facilities necessary to operate on our allocated DTV channels. Certain other of our other full-service television stations have received construction permits from the FCC, but may not be able to finish construction and begin broadcasting DTV signals before the May 1, 2002 deadline. The FCC recently released rules which allow us to request an extension of time beyond May 1, 2002 to complete construction of our DTV facilities. In case circumstances prevent us from meeting the May 1, 2002 deadline, we are in the process of seeking extensions of time from the FCC for our full-service television stations that have received construction permits. We are unsure what effect, if any, the possible refusal of the FCC to grant one or more of such extensions may have on our current analog or future digital operations.
 
Additionally, the FCC recently released rules which allow us to initially satisfy the obligation to begin broadcasting a DTV signal by broadcasting a signal that serves, at least, each full-service television station’s applicable community of license. In most instances, this new rule will permit us to temporarily install facilities of a lower-power level, which will not require the initial degree of capital investment we had anticipated to meet the requirements of our stations’ DTV authorizations. Our initial cost of converting the qualifying television stations to DTV, therefore, will be considerably lower than it would have been if we were required to initially operate at the full signal strength provided for by our DTV authorizations.
 
We intend to explore the most effective use of digital broadcast technology for each of our stations. We cannot assure you, however, that we will derive commercial benefits from the development of our digital broadcasting capacity. Although we believe that proposed alternative and supplemental uses of our analog and digital spectrum will continue to grow in number, the viability and success of each proposed alternative or supplemental use of spectrum involves a number of contingencies and uncertainties. We cannot predict what future actions the FCC or Congress may take with respect to regulatory control of these activities or what effect

29


Table of Contents
these actions would have on us. Our final costs to convert our television stations to full-service DTV could be significant, and there may not be sufficient consumer demand for DTV services to recover our investment in DTV facilities.
 
Changes in the rules and regulations of the FCC could result in increased competition for our broadcast stations that could lead to increased competition in our markets.
 
Recent and prospective actions by the FCC could cause us to face increased competition in the future. The changes include:
 
 
 
relaxation of restrictions on the participation by regional telephone operating companies in cable television and other direct-to-home audio and video technologies;
 
 
 
the establishment of a Class A television service for low-power stations that makes such stations primary stations and gives them protection against full-service stations;
 
 
 
procedures for licensing low-power FM radio stations that will be designed to serve small localized areas and niche audiences;
 
 
 
permission for direct broadcast satellite television to provide the programming of traditional over-the-air stations, including local and out-of-market network stations; and
 
 
 
elimination or revision of restrictions on cross-ownership (i.e. ownership of both television and radio stations in combination with newspapers and/or cable television systems in the same market) and caps on the number of stations or market share that a particular company may own or control, locally or nationally.
 
Because our full-service television stations rely on “must carry” rights to obtain cable carriage, new laws or regulations that eliminate or limit the scope of our cable carriage rights could have a material adverse impact on our television operations.
 
Pursuant to the “must carry” provisions of the Cable Act, a broadcaster may demand carriage on a specific channel on cable systems within its market. However, the future of those “must carry” rights is uncertain, especially as they relate to the extent of carriage of DTV stations. The current FCC rules relate only to the carriage of analog television signals. It is not certain what, if any, “must carry” rights television stations will have after they make the transition to DTV. New laws or regulations that eliminate or limit the scope of our cable carriage rights could have a material adverse impact on our television operations.
 
Our low-power television stations do not have cable “must carry” rights. In seven markets where we currently hold only a low-power license we may face future uncertainty with respect to the availability of cable carriage for our stations in those markets. With the exception of the San Angelo, Texas market, all of our low-power stations reach a substantial portion of the Hispanic cable households in their respective markets with their over-the-air broadcasts.
 
Under the Cable Act, each broadcast station is required to elect, every three years, to exercise the right to either require cable television system operators in their local market to carry their signals, which we refer to as “must carry” rights, or to prohibit cable carriage or condition it upon payment of a fee or other consideration. By electing the “must carry” rights, a broadcaster can demand carriage on a specified channel on cable systems within its market. These “must carry” rights are not absolute, and under some circumstances, a cable system may decline to carry a given station. Our television stations elected “must carry” on local cable systems for the three year election period which commenced January 1, 2000. The required election date for the next three year election period commencing January 1, 2003 will be October 1, 2002. If the law were changed to eliminate or materially alter “must carry” rights, our business could be adversely affected.

The FCC is developing rules to govern the obligations of cable television systems to carry local television stations during and following the transition from analog to DTV broadcasting. We cannot predict what final rules the FCC ultimately will adopt or what effect those rules will have on our business.
 
The policies of direct broadcast satellite companies may make it more difficult for their customers to receive our local broadcast station signals.
 
SHVIA allows direct broadcast satellite (“DBS”) television companies (currently DirecTV and EchoStar/Dish Network) for the first time to transmit local broadcast television station signals back to their subscribers in local markets. In exchange for this privilege, however, SHVIA requires that in television markets in which a DBS company elects to pick-up and retransmit any local broadcast station signals, the DBS provider must also offer to its subscribers signals from all other qualified local broadcast television stations in that market. This is known as the “carry one/carry all” rule. Our broadcast television stations in markets for which DBS operators have elected to carry local stations have sought to qualify for carriage under this rule, which we expect will increase our viewership in those markets. The two DBS operators and a satellite broadcasting trade association have instituted litigation challenging the constitutionality of SHVIA’s carry one/carry all requirements. In June 2001 a federal district court upheld the constitutionality of the federal law, which decision was upheld on appeal. We cannot predict the final outcome of such litigation challenging the constitutionality of the carry one/carry all rule. A problem has also arisen in the manner in which one of the DBS operators has implemented the carry one/carry all rule. In order to get signals from all local stations, including the signals from our stations, EchoStar/Dish Network subscribers are being required to install a second receiving dish to receive all of the local stations. This is an inconvenience for the typical DBS subscriber and, as a result, limits the size of the viewership for our stations available only on the “second dish” under the carry one/carry all rule. There is a proceeding pending at the FCC to determine if DBS operators, in carrying out their SHVIA obligations, can require use of a second dish for carriage of local signals.
 
We may have difficulty obtaining regulatory approval for acquisitions in our existing markets and, potentially, new markets.
 
An important part of our growth strategy is the acquisition of additional television and radio stations. The agencies responsible for enforcing the federal antitrust laws, the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) and the Department of Justice, may investigate certain acquisitions. After the passage of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 (the “Telecommunications Act”), the Department of Justice became more aggressive in reviewing proposed acquisitions of radio stations. The Department of Justice has, on several occasions, negotiated settlements, without initiating litigation, with broadcasters seeking to increase their ownership of radio stations in specific markets, in which the broadcasters have been required to divest one or more stations in order to complete a transaction. The Department of Justice has, in certain cases, examined television and radio ownership concentrations where a transaction would result in a single entity controlling more than 40% of the advertising revenue in a particular market or where, after the transaction, two companies would control more than 70% of the advertising revenue in a particular market. The Department of Justice has also in certain cases examined whether a combination would result in undue concentration in a particular format or in formats appealing to particular audience demographics.
 
We cannot predict the outcome of any specific Department of Justice or FTC investigation. Any decision by the Department of Justice or FTC to challenge a proposed acquisition could affect our ability to consummate an acquisition or to consummate it on the proposed terms. There can be no assurance that the FTC or Department of Justice will not seek to bar us from acquiring additional television or radio stations in any market where our existing stations already have a significant market share.
 
Similarly, the FCC staff has adopted procedures to review proposed broadcasting transactions even if the proposed acquisition otherwise complies with the FCC’s ownership limitations. In particular, the FCC may invite public comment on proposed transactions that the FCC believes, based on its initial analysis, may present ownership concentration concerns in a particular local radio market. The FCC has delayed its approval of

31


Table of Contents
numerous proposed television or radio station purchases by various parties because of market concentration concerns, and generally will not approve acquisitions when the FTC or Department of Justice has expressed concentration concerns even if the acquisition complies with the FCC’s numerical station limits. Moreover, in recent years the FCC has followed a policy of giving specific public notice of its intention to conduct additional ownership concentration analysis, and soliciting public comment on “the issue of concentration and its effect on competition and diversity,” with respect to certain applications for consent to radio station acquisitions based on advertising revenue shares or other criteria. The FCC has recently expressed their desire to eliminate delays in the staff’s review of transactions that might involve concentration of market share but are otherwise consistent with the radio ownership limits set forth in the Communications Act. It is uncertain at this time what effect this will have on the FCC’s review of future television or radio station sale applications.
 
Additionally, the FCC has recently solicited public comment on a variety of possible changes in the methodology by which it defines a television or radio “market” and counts stations for purposes of determining compliance with local ownership restrictions. If adopted, any such changes could limit our ability to make future acquisitions of radio stations. Moreover, in the same proceeding, the FCC has announced a policy of deferring, until the rulemaking is completed, certain pending and future television or radio sale applications which raise “concerns” about how the FCC counts the number of stations a company may own in a market. This policy may delay future acquisitions for which we must seek FCC approval.
 
If regulation of outdoor advertising increases, we could suffer decreased revenue from our outdoor operations.
 
Our outdoor operations are significantly impacted by federal, state and local government regulation of the outdoor advertising business. These regulations impose restrictions on, among other things, the location, size and spacing of billboards. If we are required to remove our existing billboards, or are unable to construct new billboards or reconstruct damaged billboards, our outdoor business could be harmed. In addition, we may not receive compensation for billboards that we may be required to remove in the future.
 
Additional regulations may be imposed on outdoor advertising in the future. Legislation regulating the content of billboard advertisements has been introduced and passed in Congress from time to time in the past. Additional regulations or changes in the current laws regulating and affecting outdoor advertising at the federal, state or local level may harm the results of our outdoor operations.
 
We must respond to the rapid changes in technology, services and standards which characterize our industry in order to remain competitive.
 
The television and radio broadcasting industry is subject to technological change, evolving industry standards and the emergence of new media technologies. We cannot assure you that we will have the resources to acquire new technologies or to introduce new services that could compete with these new technologies. Several new media technologies are being developed, including the following:
 
 
 
audio programming by cable television systems, direct broadcast satellite systems, Internet content providers and Internet based audio radio services;
 
 
 
satellite digital audio radio service with numerous channels and sound quality equivalent to that of compact discs;
 
 
 
In-Band On-Channel digital radio, which could provide multi-channel, multi-format digital radio services in the same bandwidth currently occupied by traditional AM and FM radio services;
 
 
 
low power FM radio, which could result in additional FM radio broadcast outlets that are designed to serve local interests;
 
 
 
streaming video programming delivered via the Internet;

32


Table of Contents
 
 
 
video-on-demand programming offered by cable television companies; and
 
 
 
digital video recorders with hard-drive storage capacity that offer time-shifting of programming and the capability of deleting advertisements when playing back the recorded programs.
 
We cannot assure you that we will have the resources to acquire new technologies or to introduce new services that could compete with other new technologies. We cannot predict the effect, if any, that competition arising from new technologies or regulatory change may have on the television or radio broadcasting industry or on our company.
 
Strikes, work stoppages and slowdowns by our employees could disrupt our publishing operations.
 
Our publishing business depends to a significant degree on our ability to avoid strikes and other work stoppages by our employees. The Newspaper and Mail Deliverers’ Union of New York and Vicinity and the Newspaper Guild of New York represent our publishing employees. Our collective bargaining agreement with the Newspaper and Mail Deliverers’ Union of New York and Vicinity expires on March 30, 2004. Our collective bargaining agreement with the Newspaper Guild of New York expires on June 30, 2002. We anticipate that negotiations will commence prior to the expiration of the agreement. Future collective bargaining agreements may not be negotiated without service interruptions, and the results of these negotiations may result in decreased revenue in our publishing operations.
 
Risks Related To Our Capital Structure and Outstanding Securities
 
Stockholders who desire to change control of our company may be prevented from doing so by provisions of our first restated certificate of incorporation, as amended, applicable law, our credit agreement and the Notes. Our restated certificate of incorporation and other agreements contain provisions that could discourage a takeover.
 
Our restated certificate of incorporation could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us, even if doing so would benefit our stockholders. The provisions of our restated certificate of incorporation could diminish the opportunities for a stockholder to participate in tender offers. In addition, under our restated certificate of incorporation, our board of directors may issue preferred stock that could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of our company. The issuance of preferred stock could also negatively affect the voting power of holders of our common stock. The provisions of our restated certificate of incorporation may have the effect of discouraging or preventing an acquisition or sale of our business. In addition, Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law imposes restrictions on mergers and other business combinations between us and any holder of 15% or more of our common stock.
 
The transfer restrictions imposed on the broadcast licenses we own also restrict the ability of third parties to acquire us. Control of our licenses may only be transferred with prior approval by the FCC. Accordingly, the number of potential transferees of our licenses is limited, and any acquisition, merger or other business combination involving our company would be subject to regulatory approval.
 
In addition, the documents governing our indebtedness and the Notes contain limitations on our ability to enter into a change of control transaction. Under these documents, the occurrence of a change of control transaction, in some cases after notice and grace periods, would constitute an event of default permitting acceleration of our outstanding indebtedness.
 
The issuance by us of preferred stock could affect the rights of our other stockholders.
 
Our restated certificate of incorporation authorizes our board of directors to issue up to 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series, to fix the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions granted to or imposed upon any wholly unissued shares of preferred stock, to fix the number of shares constituting any such

series, and to fix the designation of any such series, without further vote or action by its stockholders. The terms of any series of preferred stock, which may include priority claims to assets and dividends and special voting rights, could adversely affect the rights of the holders of common stock and thereby reduce the value of our common stock. We have approximately 5.9 million shares of Series A convertible preferred stock outstanding. We have no present plans to issue any additional shares of preferred stock. The issuance of preferred stock, coupled with the concentration of ownership of common stock in certain directors and executive officers, could discourage certain types of transactions involving an actual or potential change in control of our company. This includes transactions in which the holders of common stock might otherwise receive a premium for their shares over then current prices, otherwise dilute the rights of holders of common stock, and may limit the ability of such stockholders to cause or approve transactions which they may deem to be in their best interests. All of this could have a material adverse effect on the market price of our common stock.
 
Our restated certificate of incorporation limits the liability of our directors, which may limit the remedies that we or our stockholders have available.
 
Our restated certificate of incorporation provides that, pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law, the liability of our directors for monetary damages shall be eliminated to the fullest extent permissible under Delaware law. This is intended to eliminate the personal liability of a director for monetary damages in an action brought by us, or in our right, for breach of a director’s duties to us or our stockholders and may limit the remedies available to us or our stockholders. This provision does not eliminate the directors’ fiduciary duty and does not apply for certain liabilities: (i) for acts or omissions that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing and culpable violation of law; (ii) for acts or omissions that a director believes to be contrary to our best interests or our stockholders or that involve the absence of good faith on the part of the director; and (iii) for any transaction from which a director derived an improper personal benefit.
 
If the holders of our Series A mandatorily redeemable convertible preferred stock exercise their option to redeem such preferred stock on or after April 19, 2006, we may not have sufficient funds to do so and we may be in default under the terms of our bank credit facility and/or the Notes.
 
The holders of a majority of our Series A mandatorily redeemable convertible preferred stock have the right on or after April 19, 2006 to require us to redeem any and all of their preferred stock at the original issue price plus accrued dividends. On April 19, 2006 such redemption price would be approximately $143.5 million, and would continue to accrue a dividend of 8.5% per year. If we have sufficient funds under Delaware law to pay but are prevented from redeeming their preferred stock because of restrictions in the Indenture and/or the bank credit facility, we would be in violation of the terms of the Series A mandatorily redeemable convertible preferred stock. In such event, we may be in default under our bank credit facility and the holders of the Series A mandatorily redeemable convertible preferred stock may be able to obtain a judgment against us. Any such judgment may be found to be pari passu with the claims of the holders of the Notes. In the event a judgment is obtained and remains unpaid, or the preferred stock is paid in violation of our bank credit facility or the Indenture, we would be in default under our bank credit facility and the Notes and we could be obligated to repay the obligations under our bank credit facility, if accelerated, and the Notes, if accelerated. We may not have sufficient funds at that time to pay all of our obligations in such event.
 
ITEM 2.    PROPERTIES
 
Our corporate headquarters are located in Santa Monica, California. We lease approximately 13,000 square feet of space in the building housing our corporate headquarters under a lease expiring in 2006. The types of properties required to support each of our television and radio stations typically include offices, broadcasting studios and antenna towers where broadcasting transmitters and antenna equipment are located. The majority of our office, studio and tower facilities are leased pursuant to long-term leases. We also own the buildings and/or land used for office, studio and tower facilities at nine of our television and/or radio properties. We own substantially all of the equipment used in our television and radio broadcasting business. We believe that all of our facilities and equipment are adequate to conduct our present operations. The Company also leases certain facilities and broadcast equipment in the operation of its business. See Note 8 to “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.”

Dividend Policy
 
We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our Class A common stock, Class B common stock or Class C common stock. We currently intend to retain all future earnings, if any, to fund the development and growth of our business and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our Class A common stock, Class B common stock or Class C common stock in the foreseeable future. In addition, our bank credit facility, the Notes and the terms of our outstanding preferred stock restrict our ability to pay dividends on our common stock.

Non-cash stock-based compensation consists primarily of compensation expense relating to stock awards granted to our employees and consultants and vesting of the intrinsic value of unvested options exchanged in our acquisition of Z-Spanish Media in 2000.
 
(2)
 
Non-cash interest expense charges relate to the estimated intrinsic value of the conversion options contained in our subordinated note to Univision in the amount of $2.5 million in 1999 and $31.6 million in 2000, and the conversion option feature in our convertible subordinated note in the amount of $8.1 in 2000.
 
(3)
 
Included in the 1997 income tax expense is a $7.8 million tax benefit that resulted from the reversal of previously recorded deferred tax liabilities that were established in our acquisition of television station KNVO-TV, upon its conversion from a C-corporation to an S-corporation. Included in the 2000 income tax benefit is a charge of $10.5 million relating to the effect of change in tax status, which resulted from the recording of a net deferred tax liability upon our reorganization from a limited liability company to a C-corporation, effective with our IPO.
 
(4)
 
Pro forma net loss and pro forma basic and diluted net loss per share give effect to our reorganization from a limited liability company to a C-corporation for federal and state income tax purposes and assume that we were subject to corporate income taxes at an effective combined federal and state income tax rate of 40% before the effect of non-tax deductible goodwill, non-cash stock-based compensation and non-cash interest expense for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1999. The December 31, 2000 statement of operations reflects operations and the related income tax benefit as a C-corporation for the period subsequent to our reorganization. Pro forma income tax expense is presented for the period from January 1, 2000 through the August 2, 2000 reorganization on the same basis as the preceding years.
 
(5)
 
Loss per membership unit is computed as net loss of our predecessor divided by the number of membership units as of the last day of each reporting period. For 2000, loss per membership unit is for the period from January 1, 2000 through the August 2, 2000 reorganization.
 
(6)
 
Broadcast cash flow means operating income (loss) before corporate expenses, depreciation and amortization and non-cash stock-based compensation. We have presented broadcast cash flow, which we believe is comparable to the data provided by to other companies in the broadcast industry, because such data is commonly used as a measure of performance in our industry. However, broadcast cash flow should not be construed as an alternative to operating income (as determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S.) as an indicator of operating performance or to cash flows from operating activities (as determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S.) as a measure of liquidity.
 
(7)
 
EBITDA means broadcast cash flow less corporate expenses and is commonly used in the broadcast industry to analyze and compare broadcast companies on the basis of operating performance, leverage and liquidity. EBITDA, as presented above, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies unless such measures are calculated in substantially the same fashion. EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to operating income (as determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S.) as an indicator of operating performance or to cash flows from operating activities (as determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S.) as a measure of liquidity.

ITEM 7.    MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
The following discussion of our consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999 and consolidated financial condition as of December 31, 2001 and 2000 should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this document, and such discussion is of the date of filing this report, unless otherwise indicated.
 
OVERVIEW
 
We generate revenue from sales of national and local advertising time on television and radio stations and advertising on our billboards and in our publication. Advertising rates are, in large part, based on each media’s ability to attract audiences in demographic groups targeted by advertisers. We recognize advertising revenue when the commercials are broadcast, outdoor advertising services are provided and publishing services are provided. We incur commissions from agencies on local, regional and national advertising. Our revenue reflects deductions from gross revenue for commissions to these agencies. Univision currently owns approximately 31% of our common stock.
 
We operate in four reportable segments based upon the types of advertising medium which consists of television broadcasting, radio broadcasting, outdoor advertising and newspaper publishing. We own and/or operate 38 primary television stations that are located primarily in the southwestern U.S. We own and/or operate 54 radio stations (39 FM and 15 AM) located primarily in Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Nevada, New Mexico and Texas. Our outdoor advertising segment owns approximately 11,200 billboards in Los Angeles and New York. Our newspaper publishing operations consist of a publication in New York. The comparability of our results between 2001, 2000 and 1999 is significantly affected by businesses we acquired in 2000 and 2001.
 
Our primary expenses are employee compensation, including commissions paid to our sales staffs and our national representative firms, marketing, promotion and selling, technical, local programming, engineering and general and administrative. Our local programming costs for television consist of costs related to producing local newscasts in most of our markets.
 
We were organized as a Delaware limited liability company in January 1996 to combine the operations of our predecessor entities. On August 2, 2000, we completed a reorganization in which all of the outstanding direct and indirect membership interests of our predecessor were exchanged for shares of our Class A and Class B common stock and a $120 million subordinated note and option held by Univision were exchanged for shares of our Class C common stock.
 
Prior to our IPO, which also was completed on August 2, 2000, we had historically not had material income tax expense or benefit reflected in our statement of operations as the majority of our subsidiaries have been non-taxpaying entities. Federal and state income taxes attributable to income during such periods were incurred and paid directly by the members of our predecessor. However, we are now a taxpaying entity. We anticipate that our future effective income tax rate will vary from 40% due to a portion of our purchase price for the LCG and Z-Spanish Media acquisitions being allocated to non-tax deductible goodwill.
 
In 2001, we began the process of combining television and radio operations to create synergies and achieve cost savings and are continuing that process in 2002.
 
As a result of the businesses and other assets we acquired in recent years, approximately 83% of our total assets and 128% of our net assets are intangible. We review our tangible long-lived assets and intangibles related to those assets periodically to determine potential impairment. To date, we have determined that no impairment of long-lived assets and goodwill exists. In making this determination, the assumptions about future cash flows

39


Table of Contents
on the assets under evaluation are critical. Some stations under evaluation had limited cash flow in 2001 due to planned conversion of format or station power. The assumptions about cash flows after conversion reflect management’s estimates of how these stations are expected to perform based on similar stations and markets and possible proceeds from the sale of the assets. If these expected increases or sale proceeds are not realized, impairment losses may be recorded in the future.
 
We are in the process of determining the expected impact on earnings and existing goodwill and other intangibles since our adoption of a new accounting standard, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS No. 142”), was effective for us January 1, 2002.
 
Broadcast cash flow means operating loss before corporate expenses, depreciation and amortization and non-cash stock-based compensation. We have presented broadcast cash flow, which we believe is comparable to the data provided by to other companies in the broadcast industry, because such data is commonly used as a measure of performance in our industry. However, broadcast cash flow should not be construed as an alternative to operating income (as determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S.) as an indicator of operating performance or to cash flows from operating activities (as determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S.) as a measure of liquidity.

Year Ended December 31, 2001 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2000
 
Consolidated Operations
 
Net Revenue.    Net revenue increased to $208.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 from $154 million for the year ended December 31, 2000, an increase of $54.9 million. This increase was primarily attributable to our 2001 acquisitions, start up stations and a full 12 months of operations of our 2000 acquisitions, compared to only 5-8 months in the 2000 income statements for the most significant 2000 acquisitions. This effect, together with the effect of our 2001 acquisitions and start up stations, accounted for $50.4 million of the increase. On a same station basis, for the stations and other operations we owned or operated for all of 2000 and 2001, net revenue increased $8.1 million or 11%. This increase was primarily attributable to increased advertising (referred to as “inventory” in our industry) sold and increased rates for that inventory. These increases were partially offset by a $3.6 million decrease of network compensation from Univision. We experienced significant growth during 2001 primarily due to our acquisitions. We do not expect to experience the same level of growth in 2002. Additionally, we believe that our 2002 operations may be impacted by the weak economic environment and reduction in advertising expenditures by our customers.
 
Direct Operating Expenses.    Direct operating expenses increased to $100.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 from $61 million for the year ended December 31, 2000, an increase of $39.3 million. This increase was primarily attributable to our 2001 acquisitions, start up stations and a full 12 months of operations of our 2000 acquisitions, which together accounted for $37.1 million of the increase. On a same station basis, for the stations we owned or operated for all of 2000 and 2001, direct operating expenses increased $2.2 million or 7%. This increase was primarily attributable to sales commissions on the net revenue increase. As a percentage of net revenue, direct operating expenses increased to 48% for the year ended December 31, 2001 from 40% for the year ended December 31, 2000. The increase in direct operating expenses as a percentage of net revenue was primarily due to our entry into the outdoor and publishing segments. These lines of business typically have a higher percentage of direct operating expenses as a percentage of net revenue than our television and radio segments. Additionally, we experienced increases in the direct operating expenses as a percentage of net revenue in the radio and outdoor segments as net revenue compared to the prior year, as prior year annualized revenue decreased and a significant portion of our radio, outdoor and publishing segments operating expenses were fixed. During the second quarter of 2001, we began to implement cost reduction strategies, which we believe will contribute to a decrease of direct operating expenses as a percentage of revenue in 2002.
 
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.    The selling, general and administrative expenses included in this category relate directly to our station, outdoor advertising and publishing operations. General and administrative expenses at our corporate level are included with “Corporate Expenses” and discussed below. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $42.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 from $36.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2000, an increase of $5.9 million. This increase was primarily attributable to our 2001 acquisitions, start up stations and a full 12 months of operations of our 2000 acquisitions, which together accounted for $5.3 million of the increase. On a same station basis, for the stations

42


Table of Contents
we owned or operated for all of 2000 and 2001, selling, general and administrative expenses increased $0.6 million or 4%. The increase was due to increases in rent, insurance and utility costs. As a percentage of net revenue, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to 20% for the year ended December 31, 2001 from 24% for the year ended December 31, 2000. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenue was primarily due to the consolidation of our radio operations into our San Jose location and our cost reduction strategies. We expect selling, general and administrative expenses to continue to decrease as a percentage of revenue in 2002 through implementation of our cost reduction strategies.
 
Depreciation and Amortization.    Depreciation and amortization increased to $120 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 from $69.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2000, an increase of $50.8 million. This increase was primarily attributable to our 2001 acquisitions, start up stations and a full 12 months of operations of our 2000 acquisitions. On a same station basis, for the stations we owned or operated for all of 2000 and 2001, depreciation and amortization increased to $13.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 from $13.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2000. The increase was due to additional depreciation for buildings purchased in 2000 and 2001. We expect depreciation and amortization to decrease in 2002 as the company will adopt SFAS No. 142, and as a result, indefinite life intangibles of the company will no longer be amortized. Based on our current assessment of the assets that will be considered to have indefinite lives, we anticipate a decrease in amortization expense of approximately $87 million in 2002 relating to our existing goodwill and intangible assets we believe will meet the indefinite lives criteria.
 
Corporate Expenses.    Corporate expenses increased to $15.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 from $12.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2000, an increase of $2.9 million. This increase was primarily attributable to the acquisitions of LCG and Z-Spanish Media, the hiring of additional corporate personnel due to our growth and an increase in legal expense of $0.5 million due to an arbitration settlement. As a percentage of net revenue, corporate expenses decreased to 7% for the year ended December 31, 2001 from 8% for the year ended December 31, 2000. The decrease in corporate expenses as a percentage of net revenue was primarily due to our cost reduction strategies and net revenue increase. We expect corporate expenses to continue to decrease, as a result of these strategies, as a percentage of revenue in 2002.
 
Non-Cash Stock-Based Compensation.    Non-cash stock-based compensation decreased to $3.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 from $5.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2000, a decrease of $2.6 million. Non-cash stock-based compensation consists primarily of compensation expense relating to stock awards granted to our employees and vesting of the intrinsic value of unvested options exchanged in our acquisition of Z-Spanish Media. We expect to continue to make stock-based awards to our employees and consultants in the future.
 
Operating Loss.    As a result of the above factors, we recognized an operating loss of $72.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 compared to an operating loss of $31.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2000. Excluding non-cash stock-based compensation, we recognized an operating loss of $69.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 compared to an operating loss of $25.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2000, an increase in the amount of the loss of $44.1 million. The larger operating loss was primarily due to the increase in depreciation and amortization and direct operating expense offset by the increase in net revenue.
 
Interest Expense, Net.    Interest expense decreased to $21 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 from $23.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2000, a decrease of $2.9 million. This decrease was primarily due to higher borrowings in the prior year due to the note payable to Univision and the 364-day credit facility at higher rates.
 
Net Loss.    We recognized a net loss of $65.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 compared to a net loss of $92.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2000. Excluding non-cash stock-based compensation and interest expense relating to the estimated intrinsic value of the conversion option features in our $90 million convertible subordinated note and our convertible subordinated note with Univision, our net loss increased to $62.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 from $46.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2000.

Broadcast Cash Flow.    Broadcast cash flow increased to $66.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 from $56.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2000, an increase of $9.6 million. As a percentage of net revenue, broadcast cash flow decreased to 32% for the year ended December 31, 2001 from 37% for the year ended December 31, 2000. On a same station basis for the stations we owned or operated for all of 2000 and 2001, broadcast cash flow increased $5.3 million or 20%. As a percentage of net revenue for stations owned or operated for all of 2000 and 2001, broadcast cash flow increased to 39% for the year ended December 31, 2001 from 36% for the year ended December 31, 2000.
 
EBITDA.    EBITDA increased to $50.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 from $43.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2000, an increase of $6.7 million. As a percentage of net revenue, EBITDA decreased to 24% for the year ended December 31, 2001 from 28% for the year ended December 31, 2000. The decrease in EBITDA as a percentage of revenue was primarily due to the increase in direct operating expenses offset by the increase in net revenue.
 
Segment Operations
 
Television
 
Net Revenue.    Net revenue in our television segment increased to $91.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 from $82.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2000, an increase of $9.5 million. This increase was partially attributable to acquisitions and start up stations, which accounted for $5.5 million of the increase. On a same station basis, for the stations we owned or operated for all of 2000 and 2001, net revenue increased $7.6 million. We believe that a majority of this increase was attributable to an increase in our advertising rates, as well as an increase in inventory sold in some of our markets. These increases were offset by a $3.6 million decrease in network compensation from Univision.
 
Direct Operating Expenses.    Direct operating expenses in our television segment increased to $38.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 from $34.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2000, an increase of $4.4 million. This increase was partially attributable to acquisitions and start up stations, which accounted for $1.9 million of the increase. Same station results for the stations we owned or operated for all of 2000 and 2001 resulted in a increase of $2.5 million. This increase was primarily attributable to sales commissions on the net revenue increase.
 
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.    Selling, general and administrative expenses in our television segment increased to $18.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 from $15.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2000, an increase of $2.9 million. This increase was primarily attributable to acquisitions and start up stations, which accounted for $2.3 million of the increase. Same station results for the stations we owned or operated for all of 2000 and 2001 resulted in an increase of $0.6 million. This increase was primarily attributable to increased rent, insurance and utility costs.

Net Revenue.    Net revenue in our radio segment increased to $65.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 from $43.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2000, an increase of $22.2 million. This increase was primarily attributable to a full 12 months of operations of our acquisitions, primarily Z-Spanish Media and LCG, which accounted for $21.7 million of the increase. Same station results for the stations we owned or operated for all of 2000 and 2001 resulted in an increase of $0.5 million.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.    Selling, general and administrative expenses in our radio segment decreased to $16.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 from $16.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2000, a decrease of $0.4 million. This decrease was primarily due to reduced expenses as a result of consolidating our radio operations into our San Jose location.

Direct Operating Expenses.    Direct operating expenses from our outdoor segment increased to $20.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 from $5.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2000, an increase of $15.2 million.

benefit of 12 months of our 1999 acquisitions. On a same station basis, for the stations we owned or operated for all of 1999 and 2000, net revenue increased $14 million or 26.1%. This increase was attributable to an increase in advertising rates of approximately 21% and in the number of advertising spots aired in half of our markets. Additionally, we received $3.6 million of network compensation from Univision during the year ended December 31, 2000 which will not recur in 2001.

This increase was primarily attributable to the acquisitions of LCG, Z-Spanish Media and Infinity assets. On a same station basis, for the stations we owned or operated for all of 1999 and 2000, direct operating expenses increased $6 million or 27.4%. Additionally, $2.8 million of the increase was due to increases in selling costs associated with increased sales, increases in management and staff and increases in market research tools. In addition, we incurred approximately $1.4 million in technical and news costs to implement local news programming in Orlando, Florida and to continue improving local news programming in our McAllen, Texas and Las Vegas, Nevada markets. As a percentage of net revenue, direct operating expenses decreased to 40% for the year ended December 31, 2000 from 41% for the year ended December 31, 1999.
 
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.    Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $36.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2000 from $11.6 million for the year ended December 31, 1999, an increase of $25 million. This increase was primarily attributable to the acquisitions of LCG, Z-Spanish Media and the Infinity assets. On a same station basis, for the stations we owned or operated for all of 1999 and 2000, selling, general and administrative expenses increased $1.2 million or 10.8%. The increase was due to increases in rent, property tax, insurance and bonuses. As a percentage of net revenue, selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 24% for the year ended December 31, 2000 from 20% for the year ended December 31, 1999.
 
Depreciation and Amortization.    Depreciation and amortization increased to $69.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2000 from $16 million for the year ended December 31, 1999, an increase of $53.2 million. This increase was primarily attributable to the acquisitions of LCG, Z-Spanish Media and Infinity assets. On a same station basis, for the stations we owned or operated for all of 1999 and 2000, depreciation and amortization was relatively flat as it decreased to $11.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2000 from $11.4 million for the year ended December 31, 1999.
 
Corporate Expenses.    Corporate expenses increased to $12.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2000 from $5.8 million for the year ended December 31, 1999, an increase of $6.9 million. This increase was primarily attributable to the acquisitions of LCG, Z-Spanish Media and Infinity assets, the hiring of additional corporate personnel due to our growth and the costs associated with being a public company. As a percentage of net revenue, corporate expenses decreased to 8% for the year ended December 31, 2000 from 10% for the year ended December 31, 1999.
 
Non-Cash Stock-Based Compensation.    Non-cash stock-based compensation decreased to $5.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2000 from $29.1 million for the year ended December 31, 1999, a decrease of $23.3 million. Non-cash stock-based compensation consists primarily of compensation expense relating to stock awards granted to our employees. We expect to continue to make stock-based awards to our employees in the future.
 
Operating Loss.    As a result of the above factors, we recognized an operating loss of $31.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2000 compared to an operating loss of $28 million for the year ended December 31, 1999. Excluding non-cash stock-based compensation, we recognized an operating loss of $25.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2000 compared to operating income of $1.2 million for the year ended December 31, 1999, a decrease of $26.7 million. The decrease was primarily due to the increase in depreciation and amortization offset by the increase in net revenue.

Interest Expense, Net.    Interest expense increased to $23.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2000 from $9.6 million for the year ended December 31, 1999, an increase of $14.3 million. This increase was primarily due to increased bank loan facilities, the increase in our convertible subordinated note to Univision and the issuance of our $90 million convertible subordinated note used to finance our acquisition of LCG.
 
The non-cash interest expense of $39.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2000 relates to the estimated intrinsic value of the conversion option features in our $90 million convertible subordinated note used to finance our acquisition of LCG and our convertible subordinated note to Univision. These notes were converted and exchanged for shares of our preferred and common stock during 2000 and, as such, we do not expect to incur additional non-cash interest expense in 2001.
 
Net Loss.    We recognized a net loss of $92.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2000 compared to a net loss of $40 million for the year ended December 31, 1999. Excluding non-cash stock-based compensation and interest expense relating to the estimated intrinsic value of the conversion option features in our $90 million convertible subordinated note and our convertible subordinated note with Univision, our net loss increased to $46.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2000 from $8.3 million for the year ended December 31, 1999.
 
Broadcast Cash Flow.    Broadcast cash flow increased to $56.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2000 from $22.9 million for the year ended December 31, 1999, an increase of $33.5 million. As a percentage of net revenue, broadcast cash flow decreased to 37% for the year ended December 31, 2000 from 39% for the year ended December 31, 1999. On a same station basis for the stations we owned or operated for all of 1999 and 2000, broadcast cash flow increased $6.8 million or 32%.
 
EBITDA.    EBITDA increased to $43.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2000 from $17.1 million for the year ended December 31, 1999, an increase of $26.6 million. As a percentage of net revenue, EBITDA decreased to 28% for the year ended December 31, 2000 from 29% for the year ended December 31, 1999. The decrease in EBITDA was primarily due to the increase in direct operating and selling, general and administrative expenses offset by the increase in net revenue.
 
Segment Operations
 
Net Revenue.    Net revenue in our television segment increased to $82.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2000 from $56.8 million for the year ended December 31, 1999, an increase of $25.6 million. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in our advertising rates of approximately 21% and in the number of advertising spots aired in half of our markets, as well as other acquisitions in 2000 and the benefit of 12 months of operations of our 1999 acquisitions.
 
Net revenue in our radio segment increased to $43.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2000 from $2.2 million for the year ended December 31, 1999, an increase of $41.1 million. This increase was primarily attributable to acquisitions, primarily Z-Spanish Media and LCG.
 
Net revenue from our outdoor segment in the amount of $13.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2000 was a result of our acquisition of Z-Spanish Media’s outdoor operations and our acquisition of certain outdoor advertising assets from Infinity.
 
Net revenue from our publishing segment in the amount of $15.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2000 was primarily attributable to our acquisition of El Diario/la Prensa from LCG in April 2000.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Our primary sources of liquidity are cash provided by operations and available borrowings under our bank credit facility. We have a $600 million credit facility which is comprised of a $250 million revolver, a

47


Table of Contents
$150 million uncommitted loan facility expiring in 2007 and a $200 million Term B loan expiring in 2008. Our bank credit facility is secured by substantially all of our assets as well as the pledge of the stock of several of our subsidiaries including our special purpose subsidiaries formed to hold our FCC licenses. The revolving facility bears interest at LIBOR (1.94% as of December 31, 2001 and 1.87% as of February 28, 2002) plus a margin ranging from 0.875% to 2.75% based on our leverage. In addition, we pay a quarterly loan commitment fee ranging from 0.25% to 0.75% per annum, which is levied upon the unused portion of the amount available. As of December 31, 2001, the outstanding balance under the Term B loan was $199 million. Subsequent to December 31, 2001, we borrowed $15 million under our revolving credit facility.
 
Our bank credit facility contains a mandatory prepayment clause in the event that we liquidate any assets if the proceeds are not utilized to acquire assets of the same type within 180 days, receive insurance or condemnation proceeds which are not fully utilized toward the replacement of such assets or have excess cash flow (as defined in our credit agreement), 50% of which excess cash flow shall be used to reduce our outstanding loan balance.
 
Our bank credit facility contains certain financial covenants relating to maximum total debt ratio, minimum total interest coverage ratio and a fixed charge coverage ratio. The covenants become increasingly restrictive in the later years of the bank credit facility. Our bank credit facility also contains restrictions on the incurrence of additional debt, the payment of dividends, acquisitions and the sale of assets over a certain limit. Additionally, we are required to enter into interest rate agreements if our leverage exceeds certain limits as defined in our credit agreement.
 
Our bank credit facility requires us to maintain our FCC licenses for our broadcast properties and contains other operating covenants, including restrictions on our ability to incur additional indebtedness and pay dividends.
 
Acquisitions having an aggregate maximum consideration during the term of our credit agreement of greater than $25 million but less than or equal to $75 million are conditioned on delivery to the agent bank of a covenant compliance certificate showing pro forma calculations assuming such acquisition had been consummated and revised projections for those acquisitions. For acquisitions having an aggregate maximum consideration during the term of the credit agreement in excess of $75 million, majority lender consent of the bank group is required. We can draw on our revolving credit facility without prior approval for working capital needs and acquisitions less than $25 million.
 
On February 8, 2002, we retired a $37.5 million note payable with approximately 3.6 million shares of our Class A common stock and approximately $0.3 million in cash.
 
On March 18, 2002, we issued the Notes. The Notes bear interest at 8 1/8% per year, payable semi-annually on March 15, and September 15 of each year, commencing on September 15, 2002. The net proceeds from the Notes were used to pay all indebtedness outstanding under our bank credit facility and for general corporate purposes.
 
In connection with the issuance of the Notes, we expect to amend our bank credit facility as follows:
 
 
 
to incorporate certain restrictions and covenants from the indenture governing the Notes into our bank credit facility;
 
 
 
to provide that in the event that we have excess cash flow at the end of any of our fiscal years ending on or after December 31, 2003, we are required to prepay the loans with 50% of our excess cash flow with respect to such fiscal year (but only if our ratio of total debt to operating cash flow, together with that of our subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, is 4.5 to 1 or greater);
 
 
 
to provide that for the revolving loans, the maximum margin above LIBOR is 3.25% with respect to LIBOR loans and 2.25% above base rate with respect to base rate loans;
 
 
 
to pre-approve approximately $100 million of certain identified acquisitions;
 
 
 
to reset and increase the amount available for future acquisitions to $100 million, in addition to the pre-approved acquisitions; and

to permit the establishment of a new venture into which we may contribute certain media assets in exchange for an equity interest in such venture.
 
Net cash flow provided by operating activities increased to approximately $12 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 from approximately $10.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2000. Net cash flow provided by operating activities increased to approximately $10.6 million for 2000 from approximately $6.1 million for 1999.
 
Net cash flow used in investing activities decreased to approximately $63.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 from approximately $1 billion for the year ended December 31, 2000. During the year ended December 31, 2001 we acquired media properties for which cash payments in 2001 totaled approximately $45.1 million, including WJAL-TV for approximately $10.3 million, KXGM-FM for approximately $17.6 million (plus the exchange of two of our radio stations with a fair value of $11.2 million), the construction permit for KPMR-TV for approximately $4.8 million, KDVA-FM for approximately $9.1 million, and television stations KNVV-LP and KNCV-LP for approximately $1.3 million. In addition, we sold five radio stations, KEWE-AM, KHHZ-FM, KCAL-AM, KHOT-AM and KSZZ-AM, for approximately $10.1 million, made capital expenditures of approximately $28.7 million and disposed of media properties and other assets of approximately $10.1 million. During the year ended December 31, 2000, we acquired media properties for which cash payments in 2000 totaled approximately $990 million. The purchase prices for the significant acquisitions include LCG for approximately $256 million, Z-Spanish Media for approximately $462 million and certain assets from Infinity for approximately $168 million; made capital expenditures of approximately $23.7 million; and disposed of media properties and other assets of approximately $11 million. Net cash flow used in investing activities decreased to approximately $63.7 million for 2001, compared to approximately $1 billion for 2000. Net cash flow used in investing activities increased to approximately $1 billion for 2000, compared to approximately $59.1 million for 1999. During 1999, we acquired broadcast properties for a total of approximately $46 million and made capital expenditures totaling approximately $12.8 million.
 
Net cash flow from financing activities decreased to approximately $1.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2001, from approximately $1.1 billion for the year ended December 31, 2000. During the year ended December 31, 2001, we received proceeds from the exercise of stock options in the amount of approximately $4 million, partially offset by reductions in our notes payable in the amount of $2.5 million. During the year ended December 31, 2000, in order to finance our acquisitions, we issued 52,900,000 shares of our Class A common stock in our IPO for approximately $814 million, increased our subordinated debt to Univision by $110 million to $120 million which was subsequently exchanged into 21,983,392 shares of our Class C common stock as a result of our reorganization, issued a $90 million convertible subordinated note, which was subsequently converted into 5,865,102 shares of our Series A mandatorily redeemable convertible preferred stock in our reorganization, entered into a new $600 million credit facility of which approximately $199 million is outstanding, issued a note in the amount of $37.5 million to acquire television station WUNI-TV and paid approximately $12.9 million in deferred debt costs in connection with our credit facility. Net cash flow from financing activities increased to approximately $1.1 billion for 2000, from approximately $51.6 million for 1999. During 1999, we drew on our bank credit facility to acquire television stations from LCG and a television station in Venice (Sarasota), Florida.
 
During 2002, we anticipate our maintenance capital expenditures will be approximately $12 million, and our digital television capital expenditures will be approximately $5.5 million. We anticipate paying for these capital expenditures out of net cash flow from operating activities. The amount of these capital expenditures may change based on future changes in business plans, our financial condition and general economic conditions.
 
We currently anticipate that funds generated from operations and available borrowings under our credit facility will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash requirements for the foreseeable future.
 
We continuously review, and are currently reviewing, opportunities to acquire additional television and radio stations as well as billboards and other opportunities targeting the Hispanic market in the U.S. We expect to

Table of Contents
finance any future acquisitions through funds generated from operations and borrowings under our credit facility and through additional debt and equity financing. Any additional financing, if needed, might not be available to us on reasonable terms or at all. Failure to raise capital when needed could seriously harm our business and our acquisition strategy. If additional funds were raised through the issuance of equity securities, the percentage of ownership of our stockholders would be reduced. Furthermore, these equity securities might have rights, preferences or privileges senior to our Class A common stock.
 
On March 19, 2001, our Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program. We are authorized to repurchase up to $35 million of our outstanding Class A common stock from time to time in open market transactions at prevailing market prices, block trades and private repurchases. The extent and timing of any repurchases will depend on market conditions and other factors. We intend to finance stock repurchases, if and when made, with our available cash on hand and cash provided by operations. No shares of Class A common stock had been repurchased under the stock repurchase program.
 
On April 4, 2001, our Board of Directors adopted the 2001 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Purchase Plan”). The Purchase Plan was approved by our stockholders on May 10, 2001 at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Subject to adjustments in our capital structure, as defined in the Purchase Plan, the maximum number of shares of Class A common stock that will be made available for sale under the Purchase Plan is 600,000, plus an annual increase of up to 600,000 shares on the first day of each of the next ten calendar years, beginning January 1, 2002. All of our employees are eligible to participate in the Purchase Plan, provided that they have completed six months of continuous service as an employee as of an offering date. The first offering period under the Purchase Plan commenced on August 15, 2001 and concluded on February 14, 2002.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations” (“SFAS No. 141”) and SFAS No. 142. The most significant changes made by SFAS No. 141 are: (i) requiring that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 and (ii) establishing specific criteria for the recognition of intangible assets separately from goodwill.
 
SFAS No. 142 addresses financial accounting and reporting for acquired goodwill and other intangible assets (i.e., post acquisition accounting) and is effective for us on January 1, 2002. The most significant changes made by SFAS No. 142 are: (i) goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets will no longer be amortized; (ii) goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets will be tested for impairment at least annually; and (iii) the amortization of intangible assets with finite lives will no longer be limited to forty years. We are in the process of determining the expected impact on earnings and existing goodwill and other intangibles upon adoption. As of December 31, 2001, the net book value of intangible assets we believe will meet the indefinite life criterion includes goodwill, FCC licenses, Univision network affiliation agreements and our radio network, which totaled approximately $1.2 billion. The amortization expense related to these assets for the year ended December 31, 2001 was approximately $87 million.
 
In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations,” which addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. This statement is effective for us beginning January 1, 2003. We do not expect that adoption of this standard will have a material impact on our financial statements.
 
In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” which addresses accounting and financial reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. This statement was effective for us on January 1, 2002. We do not expect that adoption of this standard will have a material effect on our results of operations or financial position.

Impact of Inflation
 
We believe that inflation has not had a material impact on our results of operations for each of our fiscal years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2001. However, there can be no assurance that future inflation would not have an adverse impact on our operating results and financial condition.
 
ITEM 7A.    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
 
General
 
Market risk represents the potential loss that may impact our financial position, results of operations or cash flows due to adverse changes in the financial markets. We are exposed to market risk from changes in the base rates on our variable rate debt. We may enter into derivative financial instrument transactions such as swaps or interest rate caps, in order to manage or reduce our exposure to risk from changes in interest rates. Under no circumstances do we enter into derivatives or other financial instrument transactions for speculative purposes. Our credit facilities require us to maintain an interest rate protection agreement, if we exceed certain leverage ratios, as defined in the agreement.
 
Interest Rates
 
Our bank term loan bears interest at a variable rate of LIBOR (1.94% as of December 31, 2001) plus 2.75%. As of December 31, 2001, we had $199 million of variable rate bank debt. As of December 31, 2001, we were not required to hedge any of our outstanding variable rate debt by using an interest rate cap. Based on our overall interest rate exposure on our LIBOR loans as of December 31, 2001 a change of 10% in interest rates would have an impact of approximately $1 million on a pre-tax earnings and pre-tax cash flows over a one year period.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
 
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Entravision Communications Corporation
Santa Monica, California
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Entravision Communications Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the related consolidated statements of operations, equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2001. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Entravision Communications Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2001 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

ENTRAVISION COMMUNICATIONS CORPORATION
 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
1.    NATURE OF BUSINESS, REORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Nature of business
 
Entravision Communications Corporation (together with its subsidiaries, hereinafter, individually and collectively, “ECC” or the “Company”) is a diversified Spanish-language media company utilizing a combination of television, radio, outdoor and publishing operations to reach Hispanic consumers in the United States of America. The Company operates 40 television stations in 25 markets located primarily in the Southwestern United States of America, consisting primarily of Univision Communications Inc. (“Univision”) affiliated stations. Radio operations consist of a Spanish-language radio network, which provides programming to substantially all of the Company’s 53 operational radio stations, 38 FM and 15 AM, in 23 markets located primarily in Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Nevada, New Mexico and Texas. The Company’s outdoor operations consist of approximately 11,200 billboards located in Los Angeles and New York. Publishing operations consist of a newspaper publication in New York.
 
Pursuant to Univision network affiliation agreements, Univision acts as the Company’s exclusive sales representative for the sale of all national advertising aired on Univision television stations. Proceeds of national sales are remitted to the Company by Univision, net of an agency commission and a network representation fee. The Univision primary network affiliation agreements expire through December 2021.
 
Initial Public Offering and Reorganization
 
On August 2, 2000, the Company completed an underwritten initial public offering (the “IPO”) of 46,435,458 shares of its Class A common stock at a price of $16.50 per share. The Company also sold 6,464,542 shares of its Class A common stock directly to Univision at a price of $15.47 per share. The net proceeds to the Company, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions, and offering expenses, were approximately $814 million.
 
Effective August 2, 2000, an exchange transaction (“Exchange Transaction”) was consummated whereby the direct and indirect membership interests in Entravision Communications Company, L.L.C. (“ECC LLC”) were exchanged for Class A or Class B common stock of ECC. The Class B common stock was issued to Walter F. Ulloa, Philip C. Wilkinson and Paul A. Zevnik (and certain trusts and related entities of such individuals) in exchange for their direct and indirect membership interests in ECC LLC. The remaining individual members and stockholders (other than Messrs. Ulloa, Wilkinson and Zevnik) of the Cabrillo Broadcasting Corporation, Golden Hills Broadcasting Corporation, Las Tres Palmas Corporation, Tierra Alta Broadcasting, Inc., KSMS, Inc., Valley Channel 48, Inc., and Telecorpus, Inc. (collectively, the “Affiliates”) exchanged their LLC membership units and common shares of the respective corporations for Class A common stock of ECC. Accordingly, the Affiliates became wholly owned subsidiaries of ECC, and ECC LLC became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Affiliates. The number of shares of common stock of ECC issued to the members of ECC LLC and the stockholders of the Affiliates was determined in such a manner that the ownership interests in ECC equaled the direct and indirect ownership interests in ECC LLC immediately prior to the exchange. Prior to the Exchange Transaction, ECC LLC and its Affiliates were considered to be under common control and, as such, the Exchange Transaction was accounted for in a manner similar to a pooling of interests.
 
ECC LLC membership units were exchanged into Class A or Class B shares of common stock of the Company at an exchange ratio of 17 shares of common stock per membership unit. As a result, for all periods prior to the Exchange Transaction, ECC LLC membership units have been reflected as shares of ECC common stock in these notes to consolidated financial statements.

ENTRAVISION COMMUNICATIONS CORPORATION
 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 
Additionally, effective with the Exchange Transaction, Univision exchanged its $120 million subordinated note (see Note 5) into 21,983,392 shares of ECC Class C common stock.
 
The financial statements presented for the years ended December 31, 1999 and for the period from January 1, 2000 through August 2, 2000 are those combined statements of ECC LLC and the Affiliates prior to the Exchange Transaction.
 
Summary of significant accounting policies
 
Basis of consolidation
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ECC and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
Investment in nonconsolidated affiliates
 
The Company accounts for its investment in its less than majority-owned investees using the equity method under which the Company’s share of the net income (loss) is recognized in the Company’s statement of operations. Condensed financial information is not provided as these operations are not considered to be significant.
 
Use of estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
The Company’s operations are affected by numerous factors including changes in audience acceptance (i.e., ratings), priorities of advertisers, new laws and governmental regulations and policies and technological advances. The Company cannot predict if any of these factors might have a significant impact on the television, radio, outdoor and publishing advertising industries in the future, nor can it predict what impact, if any, the occurrence of these or other events might have on the Company’s operations. Significant estimates and assumptions made by management are used for, but not limited to, the allowance for doubtful accounts, the estimated useful lives of long-lived and intangible assets, the recoverability of such assets by their estimated future undiscounted cash flows, and the purchase price allocations used in the Company’s business combinations.
 
Cash and cash equivalents
 
For purposes of reporting cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
 
Interest rate cap agreements
 
Interest rate cap agreements are principally used by the Company in the management of interest rate exposure. The differential to be paid or received is accrued as interest rates change and is recorded in the statement of operations.

Leasehold improvements
  
Lesser of the life of the lease or economic life of the asset
 
Intangible assets
 
Intangible assets consisting of the following items are amortized on a straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:
 
    
Years

FCC licenses
  
15
Television network affiliation agreements
  
15
Goodwill

1-15
 
Deferred debt costs related to the Company’s credit facility are amortized using a method, which approximates the effective interest method over the life of the related indebtedness. Favorable leasehold interests are amortized over the term of the underlying lease. Presold advertising contracts are amortized over the term of the underlying contracts.
 
Impairment of long-lived assets
 
The Company reviews its long-lived assets and intangibles related to those assets periodically and upon the occurrence of events or changes in circumstances that indicate that the recoverability of the carrying value of an asset should be assessed. Management determines potential impairment by comparing the carrying value of the long-lived assets and identified goodwill with the estimated future net undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets, including cash flows from disposition. Should the sum of the expected future net undiscounted cash flows be less than the carrying value, the Company may be required to recognize an impairment loss at that date. An impairment loss would be the amount, if any, by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the long-lived assets and identified goodwill.
 
Goodwill not identified with specific assets or groups of assets is evaluated to determine whether events or circumstances warrant a write-down or revised estimates of useful lives. The Company determines potential impairment by comparing the carrying value of reportable segments or independently managed business components with the estimated future net undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the respective assets, including cash flows from disposition. Should the sum of the expected future net undiscounted cash flows be less than the carrying value, the Company may be required to recognize an impairment loss at that date.

F-10

ENTRAVISION COMMUNICATIONS CORPORATION
 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 
Impairment losses, if any, are measured by comparing the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value (estimated using discounted future cash flows) of the segment or business component.
 
Management has determined that no impairment of long-lived assets, intangibles or goodwill currently exists. In making this determination, the assumptions about future cash flows on the assets under evaluation are critical. Some stations evaluated had limited cash flow in 2001 due to planned conversion of format or station power. The assumptions about cash flows after conversion reflect management’s estimates of how these stations are expected to perform based on similar stations and markets and possible proceeds from the sale of the assets. If these expected increases or sale proceeds are not realized, future impairment losses may be recorded.
 
Concentrations of credit risk
 
The Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable. The Company from time to time may have bank deposits in excess of the FDIC insurance limits. As of December 31, 2001, substantially all deposits are maintained in one financial institution. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.
 
The Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and, as a consequence, believes that its trade receivable credit risk exposure is limited. A valuation allowance is provided for known and anticipated credit losses. Estimated losses for bad debts are provided for in the financial statements through a charge to expense which aggregated $2.0 million, $2.2 million and $0.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2000 the Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts was increased through business acquisitions in the amount of $6.3 million. The net charge off of bad debts aggregated $4.0 million, $3.5 million and $0.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
 
Disclosures about fair value of financial instruments
 
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value:
 
The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments.
 
The carrying amount of long-term debt approximates the fair value of the Company’s long-term debt based on the quoted market prices for the same or similar issues or on the current rates offered to the Company for debt of the same remaining maturities with similar collateral requirements.
 
Mandatorily redeemable convertible preferred stock is stated at redemption value less the unamortized discount. The discount is accreted into the carrying value of the mandatorily redeemable preferred stock through the date at which the preferred stock is redeemable at the option of the holder with a charge to accumulated deficit using the effective-interest method. Due to the inherent uncertainties regarding the ability and ultimate timing of either the redemption or conversion of these preferred shares and the accretion method used, it is not practical for management to determine their fair value.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 
Income taxes
 
Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when it is determined to be more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
 
Advertising costs
 
Amounts incurred for advertising costs with third parties are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense totaled approximately $2.1 million, $2.5 million and $0.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
 
Revenue recognition
 
Television and radio revenue related to the sale of advertising is recognized at the time of broadcast. Network compensation from Univision’s primary network is recognized ratably over the period of the agreement. Network compensation aggregated $0.6 million, $4.3 million and $2.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Revenue for outdoor advertising space is recognized ratably over the term of the contract, which is typically less than twelve months. Publishing advertising revenue is recognized when advertisements are published and circulation revenue is recognized based on the date of publication, net of provisions for related returns.
 
Local marketing and time brokerage agreements
 
The Company operates certain stations under local marketing agreements and time brokerage agreements whereby the Company sells and retains all advertising revenue. The broadcast station licensee retains responsibility for ultimate control of the station in accordance with all FCC rules and regulations. The Company pays a fixed fee to the station owner, as well as all expenses of the station, and performs other functions. The financial results of the local marketing and time brokerage agreements operated stations are included in the Company’s statement of operations from the date of commencement of the respective agreement.
 
Trade transactions
 
The Company exchanges broadcast time for certain merchandise and services. Trade revenue and the related assets are recorded when spots air at the fair value of the goods or services received or time aired, whichever is more readily determinable. Trade expense and the related liability are recorded when the goods or services are used or received. Trade revenue related to exchange transactions was approximately $9.2 million, $6.5 million and $1.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Trade costs for exchange transactions were approximately $7.4 million, $6.5 million and $1.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
 
Stock-based compensation
 
The Company accounts for stock-based employee compensation under the requirements of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, which does not require compensation to be recorded if the consideration to be received is at least equal to fair value of the common stock to be received at the measurement date.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

Nonemployee stock-based transactions are accounted for under the requirements of Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” which requires compensation to be recorded based on the fair value of the securities issued or the services received, whichever is more reliably measurable.
 
Earnings per share
 
The following table sets forth the calculation of the Company’s net loss per share for the period from August 2, 2000 (the date of the Company’s reorganization) through December 31, 2000:
 
    
(In thousands, except share and per share data)

Basic earnings per share is computed as net loss less accretion of the discount on Series A mandatorily redeemable preferred stock divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution, if any, that could occur from shares issuable through stock options and convertible securities.
 
For the year ended December 31, 2001 and the period from August 2, 2000 through December 31, 2000, all dilutive securities have been excluded, as their inclusion would have had an antidilutive effect on earnings per share. As of December 31, 2001, the securities whose conversion would result in an incremental number of shares that would be included in determining the weighted average shares outstanding for diluted earnings per share if their effect was not antidilutive is as follows: 5,595,311 stock options, 349,678 unvested stock grants subject to repurchase and 5,865,102 shares of Series A mandatorily redeemable convertible preferred stock.
 
Earnings per membership unit
 
Basic earnings per membership unit is computed as net loss divided by the number of membership units outstanding as of the last day of each period. Diluted earnings per unit reflects the potential dilution that could occur from membership units through options and convertible securities.
 
For the period from January 1, 2000 through August 2, 2000, the date of the Exchange Transaction, and for the year ended December 31, 1999 all dilutive securities have been excluded, as their inclusion would have had an antidilutive effect on earnings per membership unit.

Pro forma income tax adjustments and pro forma earnings per share
 
The pro forma income tax information is included in these financial statements for all periods prior to the Exchange Transaction to show what the significant effects might have been on the historical statements of operations had the Company and its Affiliates not been treated as flow-through entities not subject to income taxes. The pro forma information reflects a benefit for income taxes at the assumed effective rate for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999.
 
The weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, used to compute pro forma basic and diluted net loss per share is based on the conversion ratio used to exchange ECC LLC membership units and member corporation shares for shares of ECC’s common stock in the Exchange Transaction.
 
Comprehensive income
 
For the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, the Company had no components of comprehensive income.
 
Reclassification
 
Certain amounts in the prior year financial statements and related footnote disclosures were reclassified to conform to the current year presentation with no effect on net loss or stockholders’ equity.
 
New pronouncements
 
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS 141, “Business Combinations” and SFAS 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” The most significant changes made by SFAS No. 141 are: (i) requiring that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001, and (ii) establishing specific criteria for the recognition of intangible assets separately from goodwill.
 
SFAS No. 142 addresses financial accounting and reporting for acquired goodwill and other intangible assets (i.e., post acquisition accounting) and is effective for the Company on January 1, 2002. The most significant changes made by SFAS No. 142 are (i) goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets will no longer

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

be amortized; (ii) goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets will be tested for impairment at least annually; and (iii) the amortization of intangible assets with finite lives will no longer be limited to forty years. Management is in the process of determining the expected impact on earnings and existing goodwill and other intangibles upon adoption. As of December 31, 2001, the net book value of intangible assets, which management believes will meet the indefinite life criterion includes goodwill, FCC licenses, Univision network affiliation agreements and the Company’s radio network, totaled approximately $1.2 billion. The amortization expense related to these assets for the year ended December 31, 2001 was approximately $87 million.
 
In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations,” which addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. This statement is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2003. Management does not expect that adoption of this standard will have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
 
In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, “Accounting For The Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” which addresses accounting and financial reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. This statement is effective for the Company as of January 1, 2002. Management does not expect that adoption of this standard will have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.
 
2.    BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS
 
Acquisitions
 
During the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, the Company made the following acquisitions, some of which were asset acquisitions and did not constitute a business. All business acquisitions have been accounted for as purchase business combinations with the operations of the businesses included subsequent to their acquisition dates. The allocation of the respective purchase prices is generally based upon management’s estimates of the discounted future cash flows to be generated from the media properties for intangible assets, and replacement cost for tangible assets, and as it relates to certain 2001 acquisitions, reflects management’s preliminary allocation of purchase price. All business combinations completed on or before June 30, 2001 have been accounted for under APB No. 16. Business combinations entered into subsequent to June 30, 2001 have been accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 141 and the applicable paragraphs of SFAS No. 142.
 
During 2001, the Company acquired the license for radio station KXGM-FM in Dallas, Texas in exchange for approximately $19.2 million in cash and two of the Company’s radio station licenses with a fair market value of approximately $11.2 million. This exchange transaction was accounted for at fair value with no gain or loss recognized. In a separate transaction, the Company acquired radio station KDVA-FM in Phoenix, Arizona for approximately $10.1 million.
 
Additionally in separate transactions, the Company acquired television stations in Hagerstown, Maryland, Reno, Nevada, Carson City, Nevada and Melbourne, Florida for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $11.8 million. Additionally, the Company acquired a construction permit for a television station in Santa Barbara, California for approximately $4.8 million.
 
Latin Communications Group Inc.
 
In April 2000, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Latin Communications Group Inc. (“LCG”) for approximately $256 million, plus the assumption of certain liabilities. LCG operated 17 radio stations located in California, Colorado, New Mexico and Washington D.C. and also owned and operated two

Spanish-language publications. In connection with this acquisition, the Company issued a $90 million convertible subordinated note. The subordinated note contained two conversion rights, a voluntary option to the holder at any time after December 31, 2000 and the second automatically upon the effectiveness of the IPO and the Exchange Transaction. Effective with the Exchange Transaction, as discussed in Note 1, the subordinated note converted into 5,865,102 shares of Series A mandatorily redeemable convertible preferred stock of ECC.
 
In connection with the $90 million convertible subordinated note, the Company recorded non-cash interest expense of approximately $8.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2000. Upon conversion, the carrying value of the note, net of the unamortized beneficial conversion discount of $11.4 million, was recorded as Series A mandatorily redeemable convertible preferred stock (see Note 11).
 
Z-Spanish Media Corporation
 
In August 2000, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Z-Spanish Media Corporation (“Z-Spanish Media”). Z-Spanish Media owned 33 radio stations and an outdoor billboard business. The purchase price, as amended, consisted of approximately $222 million in cash, 7,187,888 shares of newly-issued Class A common stock of the Company after the reorganization as discussed in Note 1, and the assumption of certain liabilities including approximately $110 million of outstanding debt and $2.4 million in connection with the December 2000 settlement with Hispanic Broadcasting Corporation to satisfy a contract dispute in a proposed exchange of certain radio stations between the parties. Furthermore, to comply with a preliminary Department of Justice inquiry, seven of Z-Spanish Media’s radio stations were transferred to a trust. The beneficiaries of the trust are the former stockholders of Z-Spanish Media. The net proceeds from the sale of these stations will be remitted to the former stockholders of Z-Spanish Media. As of December 31, 2001, two of the stations had not yet been sold.
 
In connection with this acquisition, the Company issued approximately 1.5 million stock options to purchase its Class A common stock in exchange for Z-Spanish Media’s previously outstanding stock options. In connection with these stock options, the Company also recorded as additional purchase price approximately $12.4 million for the excess of the estimated fair value over the intrinsic value of the unvested options. Additionally, during 2001 the Company recognized approximately $0.8 million as non-cash stock-based compensation with respect to the remaining unvested options.
 
Additionally, as part of this business combination, the Company has adopted a plan to restructure its radio division. In accordance with this plan, management recorded approximately $1.4 million relating to employee termination and exit costs of the acquired business. These amounts were recorded as a purchase accounting adjustment, resulting in an increase in goodwill and have been included in accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. Substantially all of the termination and exit costs have been paid by December 31, 2001.
 
During 2001, the Company finalized its purchase price allocation in which approximately $176.4 million was assigned from goodwill to the radio network intangible asset. As a result, deferred tax liabilities increased approximately $70.6 million with a corresponding increase in goodwill.
 
Citicasters Co.
 
In August 2000, the Company acquired the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) licenses of radio stations KACD(FM) Santa Monica, California, and KBCD(FM) Newport Beach, California, from Citicasters Co., a subsidiary of Clear Channel Communications, Inc., for approximately $85 million in cash.

The debt was paid in full in February 2002 with the issuance of 3,593,859 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock and a cash payment of approximately $0.3 million.
 
Credit facility
 
The Company has a credit facility in the amount of $600 million, of which $199 million and $200 million were outstanding at December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The credit facility is secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets as well as the pledge of the stock of several of the Company’s subsidiaries, including the special purpose subsidiaries formed to hold our FCC licenses. The credit facility consists of a $250 million revolving facility and a $150 million Term A loan, both bearing interest at LIBOR (1.9% at December 31, 2001) plus a margin ranging from 0.875% to 2.75% based on the Company’s leverage, and a $200 million Term B loan bearing interest at LIBOR plus 2.75%. The revolving facility expires on December 31, 2007. The Term A loan commitment expired on July 31, 2001. Upon expiration of the Term A loan commitment, the Company has a $150 million incremental loan facility with substantially the same terms, expiring on December 31, 2007. The Term B loan expires on December 31, 2008. The line-of-credit facility contains scheduled quarterly reductions in the amount that is available ranging from $6.3 million to $18.8 million, commencing September 30, 2002. The Term B loan contains scheduled quarterly reductions in the amount that is available ranging from $0.5 million to $42.5 million, commencing September 30, 2001. In addition, the Company pays a quarterly loan commitment fee ranging from 0.25% to 0.75% per annum, which is levied upon the unused portion of the amount available. All of the outstanding balance at December 31, 2001 and 2000 was under the Term B loan.
 
The credit facility also contains a mandatory prepayment clause in the event the Company should liquidate any assets if the proceeds are not utilized to acquire assets of the same type within one year, receive insurance or condemnation proceeds which are not fully utilized toward the replacement of such assets, or have excess cash flows (as defined in our credit agreement), 50% of which shall be used to reduce the outstanding loan balance.
 
The credit facility contains certain financial covenants relating to maximum total debt ratio, total interest coverage ratio, a fixed charge coverage ratio and a ceiling on annual capital expenditures. The covenants become

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

increasingly restrictive in the later years of the facility. The credit facility also contains restrictions on the incurrence of additional debt, the payment of dividends, acquisitions and the sale of assets over a certain limit. Additionally, the Company is required to enter into interest rate agreements if its leverage exceeds certain limits as defined in the agreement. No such agreements have been entered into at December 31, 2001 or 2000.
 
In February 2002, the Company entered into negotiations with its bank to amend its credit facility and repay the balance due under the Term B loan and reduce the credit facility to $400 million. It is anticipated that the Term B loan will be repaid with the proceeds from a contemplated debt offering of senior subordinated notes.

Subordinated note
 
On December 30, 1996, the Company issued a $10 million subordinated note to Univision. This note was subordinated to all senior debt. The note was due December 30, 2021 with interest at 7.01% per annum, for which Univision agreed to provide the Company with network compensation equal to the amount of annual interest due. Under a separate agreement, Univision had the option to exchange the note into Class A membership units of ECC LLC representing a 27.9% interest in the Company, at the holder’s option at any time prior to maturity. During 1999 certain conditions restricting the exchange of the note were eliminated and, as such, the Company recorded non-cash interest expense of $2.5 million based on the estimated intrinsic value of the option feature at the date the note was entered into.
 
On March 2, 2000, the note was amended and increased to $120 million, and the option exchange feature was increased from 27.9% to 40%, resulting in additional non-cash interest expense of $31.6 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2000 based on the estimated intrinsic value of the option feature. The intrinsic value of the exchange option feature was determined using an estimate by management based primarily on the estimated IPO price as the fair market value. On August 2, 2000, the note was exchanged for Class C common stock of the Company, as described in Note 1.

7.    INCOME TAXES
 
Prior to the reorganization of the Company as described in Note 1, the combined organization included various taxpaying and non-taxpaying entities. Each of the entities filed separate federal and state tax returns. Deferred taxes were not provided for the difference between the book and tax basis of intangible assets, broadcast equipment, and furniture and fixtures for the non-taxpaying entities. As a result of the reorganization and Exchange Transaction on August 2, 2000 the Company recorded a net deferred tax liability with a corresponding charge to tax expense of approximately $10.5 million.

Total rent expense under operating leases, including rent under month-to-month arrangements, was approximately $23.2 million, $9.4 million and $2.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
 
Employment agreements
 
The Company has entered into employment agreements (the “Agreements”) with two executive officers, who are also stockholders and directors, through August 2005. The Agreements provide that a minimum annual base salary and a bonus be paid to each of the executives. The Company accrued approximately $0, $1.6 million and $1.1 million of bonuses payable to these executives for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Additionally, the Agreements provide for a continuation of each executive’s annual base salary and annual bonus through the end of the employment period if the executive is terminated due to a permanent disability or without cause, as defined in the Agreements.
 
The Company also has an employment arrangement with its executive vice president which provides for an annual base salary and bonus. Additionally, in 1997 the employee was awarded 922,828 shares of Class A common stock in the Company, which vested through January 2000. The estimated fair value associated with this award of was approximately $27.7 million. The Company has recorded $26.3 million of compensation expense in connection with this award for the year ended December 31, 1999.
 
In January 1999, the Company entered into an employment agreement with a senior vice president which expires on January 4, 2002 and provides for an annual base salary and bonus to be paid to the employee. As part of this agreement, the Company originally granted an option to the employee to purchase Class A common stock. As amended in April 2000, the Company sold the employee 82,195 shares of restricted Class A common stock at $0.01 per share. The Company may repurchase the restricted shares at $0.01 per share. The number of shares subject to the Company’s repurchase option is eliminated proportionately over three years from the original grant date. The intrinsic value of the original option at the grant date was determined by management using the estimated IPO price. In accordance with APB No. 25, the Company recorded $2.8 million in compensation expense during 1999 attributable to the original option grant, which is reflected as non-cash stock-based compensation in the statement of operations. This amount approximates the total intrinsic value of the amended employee restricted Class A common stock purchase. Accordingly, no amounts have been recorded for non-cash stock-based compensation for this grant during the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000.
 
9.    RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS
 
Related-party transactions not discussed elsewhere consist of the following:
 
In August 2001, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement to establish an exclusive national advertising representative for all Spanish-language radio stations owned or operated by the joint venture partners, as well as radio stations currently represented by the third party. The joint venture is owned equally and is co-managed with each party having equal representation on its board of directors.
 
The Company has unsecured advances of $0.1 million and $0.2 million payable to related parties, which are due on demand at December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

Approximately $0.1 million and $0.8 million of the fees for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively, have been recorded as debt and stock issuance costs.
 
10.    401(K) SAVINGS PLAN

11.    STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
 
Common stock
 
The First Restated Certificate of Incorporation of ECC authorizes both common and preferred stock. The common stock has three classes identified as A, B and C which have similar rights and privileges, except the Class B common stock provides ten votes per share as compared to one vote per share for all other classes of common stock. Univision, as the holder of all Class C common stock, is entitled to vote as a separate class to elect two directors, and has the right to vote as a separate class on certain material transactions. Class B and C common stock is convertible at the holder’s option into one fully paid and nonassessable share of Class A common stock and is required to be converted into one share of Class A common stock upon certain events as defined in the First Restated Certificate of Incorporation.
 
In April 2000, the Company granted an unrestricted stock award to an executive vice president and officer totaling 240,737 shares of Class A common stock. As a result of this grant the Company recorded a non-cash stock-based compensation charge of $3.4 million.
 
In May 2000, the Company granted restricted stock awards to employees, directors and consultants totaling 494,496 Class A shares of common stock. As a result of these grants, the Company recorded a deferred non-cash stock-based compensation charge of $6.9 million that is being amortized over the three-year vesting period beginning in the second quarter of 2000. Approximately $2.3 million and $1.3 million of the deferred charge has been amortized during the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively.
 
On March 19, 2001, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program. The Company is authorized to repurchase up to $35.0 million of outstanding Class A common stock from time to time in open market transactions at prevailing market prices, block trades and private repurchases. The extent and timing of any repurchases will depend on market conditions and other factors. The Company intends to finance

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

stock repurchases, if and when made, with available cash on hand and cash provided by operations. No shares of Class A common stock had been repurchased under the stock repurchase program as of December 31, 2001.
 
Preferred Stock
 
The Company is authorized to issue up to 50 million shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.0001, in one or more series. The Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) is authorized to establish the number of shares to be included in each series, and to fix the designation, powers, preferences and rights of the shares of each series, as well as the qualifications, limitations or restrictions. As of December 31, 2001, the Company has designated 11 million shares as Series A mandatorily redeemable convertible preferred stock, of which 5,865,102 shares are outstanding.
 
The Series A preferred stock is convertible into Class A common stock on a share-per-share basis at the option of the holder at any time and accrues dividends at 8.5% of the liquidation value ($15.35 per share) per annum, compounded annually and payable upon the liquidation of the Company or redemption. There were approximately $11.0 million and $3.1 million of dividends in arrears at December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. All accrued and unpaid dividends are to be waived and forgiven upon the conversion of the Series A preferred stock into Class A common stock. The Series A preferred stock is subject to redemption at face value plus accrued dividends at the option of the holder at any time after April 2006, and must be redeemed in full in April 2010. The Company also has the right to redeem the Series A preferred stock at its option at any time one year after its issuance, provided that the trading price of the Class A common stock equals or exceeds 130% of the IPO price of the Class A common stock for 15 consecutive trading days immediately before such redemption. The Series A redemption price per share is equal to the sum of the original issue price per share ($15.35) plus accrued and unpaid dividends.
 
The Company is recording a periodic charge to accumulated deficit to accrete the Series A preferred stock up to its redemption value. During the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, the Company recorded accretion charges of $10.1 million and $2.4 million, respectively.

The Company’s fair value calculation for the Z-Spanish Media acquisition exchange options was made using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions: expected life of one year; volatility of 50%; risk-free interest rate of 5.89% and no dividends during the expected life. The fair value of these options was recorded as additional purchase price in the business acquisition and is not included in the pro forma compensation expense below.

During 2001 and 2000, the Company recognized $0.2 and $0.7 million, respectively, of non-cash stock-based compensation expense relating to the intrinsic value of the unvested options exchanged in the Z-Spanish Media acquisition.
 
SFAS No. 123 requires the disclosure of pro forma net income and earnings per share had the Company adopted the fair value method. Under SFAS No. 123, the fair value of stock-based awards to employees is calculated through the use of option-pricing models. These models require subjective assumptions, including future stock price volatility and expected time to exercise, which greatly affect the calculated value.
 
The Company’s 2001 and 2000 fair value calculation for pro forma purposes was made using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:

On April 4, 2001, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted the 2001 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Purchase Plan”). The Purchase Plan was approved by the Company’s stockholders on May 10, 2001 at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Subject to adjustments in the capital structure, as defined in the Purchase Plan, the maximum number of shares of Class A common stock that will be made available for sale under the Purchase Plan is 600,000, plus an annual increase of 600,000 shares on the first day of each of the next ten calendar years, beginning January 1, 2002. All of the Company’s employees are eligible to participate in the Purchase Plan, provided that they have completed six months of continuous service as an employee as of an offering date. Under the terms of the Purchase Plan, employees may elect to have up to 15% of their compensation withheld to purchase shares each offering period. The purchase price of the stock is 85% of the lower of the day preceding the beginning-of-period or end-of-period market price. The first offering period under the Purchase Plan commenced on August 15, 2001. As of December 31, 2001, approximately $0.4 million was withheld for the Purchase Plan.

13.    LITIGATION AND SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
 
The Company is subject to various outstanding claims that arose in the ordinary course of business and to other legal proceedings. In the opinion of management, any liability of the Company which may arise out of or with respect to these matters will not materially adversely affect the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.
 
The Company has initiated arbitration asserting that a former advertising representative breached contracts, that the breaches support an immediate termination for cause, and that the breaches caused the Company several million dollars of damage. The former representative has filed an answer asserting that the termination was without cause, and filed a counterclaim asserting that the Company is liable to the former representative for several million dollars of damage. The Company has filed an answer denying the assertions of the counterclaim. No accrual has been recorded as the matter is in an early stage in the proceedings and the ultimate benefit or liability, if any, cannot be reasonably estimated.
 
Additionally, a subsidiary of the Company acquired in a 2000 business combination was involved in a lawsuit and a default judgment was ordered against the subsidiary. The Company is an indirect successor-in-interest for the liabilities of the subsidiary and accrued $500,000 for the judgment and related legal fees.
 
14.    SEGMENT DATA
 
Upon the completion of the business and asset acquisitions during 2000, management determined that the Company operates in four reportable segments based upon the type of advertising medium which consists of television broadcasting, radio broadcasting, outdoor advertising and newspaper publishing.
