NOTES TO INTERIM UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
1. | Description of Business and Basis of Presentation |
LBI Media Holdings, Inc. was incorporated in Delaware on June 23, 2003, and is a qualified subchapter S subsidiary of LBI Holdings I, Inc. (the Parent). Pursuant to an Assignment and Exchange Agreement dated September 29, 2003 between the Parent and LBI Media Holdings, Inc., the Parent assigned to LBI Media Holdings, Inc. all of its right, title and interest in 100 shares of common stock of LBI Media, Inc. (LBI Media) (constituting all of the outstanding shares of LBI Media) in exchange for 100 shares of common stock of LBI Media Holdings, Inc. Thus, upon consummation of the exchange, LBI Media became a wholly owned subsidiary of LBI Media Holdings, Inc. (LBI Media Holdings).
As the above transaction was between entities under common control, it was accounted for at historical cost. LBI Media Holdings financial statements and financial information presented for prior periods include the historical activity of LBI Media.
LBI Media Holdings is not engaged in any business operations and has not acquired any assets or incurred any liabilities, other than the acquisition of stock of LBI Media, the issuance of senior discount notes (see Note 4) and the operations of its subsidiaries. Accordingly, its only material source of cash is dividends and distributions from its subsidiaries, which are subject to restriction by LBI Medias senior credit facility and the indenture governing the senior subordinated notes issued by LBI Media (see Note 4). Parent-only condensed financial information of LBI Media Holdings on a stand-alone basis has been presented in Note 10.
LBI Media Holdings and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the Company) own and operate radio and television stations located in California and Texas. In addition, the Company, through its indirect wholly owned subsidiary, Empire Burbank Studios, Inc. (Empire), owns a television studio facility that is primarily used to produce programming for Company-owned television stations. Portions of this facility are also leased to independent third parties. The Company sells commercial airtime on its radio and television stations to local and national advertisers. In addition, the Company has entered into time brokerage agreements with third parties for three of its radio stations.
The Companys KHJ-AM, KVNR-AM, KWIZ-FM, KBUE-FM, KBUA-FM and KEBN-FM radio stations service the Los Angeles, California market, its KQUE-AM, KJOJ-AM, KSEV-AM, KEYH-AM, KJOJ-FM, KTJM-FM, KQQK-FM, KIOX-FM and KXGJ-FM radio stations service the Houston, Texas market and its KNOR-FM station services the Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas market.
The Companys television stations, KRCA, KZJL, KMPX and KSDX, service the Los Angeles, California, Houston, Texas, Dallas Fort-Worth, Texas and San Diego, California markets, respectively.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC). Accordingly, they do

not include all of the information and footnotes required by U. S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year. The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Companys December 31, 2003 consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Companys annual report on Form 10-K (the Annual Report). All terms used but not defined elsewhere herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the Annual Report.
The balance sheet at December 31, 2003 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of LBI Media Holdings and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany amounts and transactions have been eliminated. The accounts of the Parent, including certain indebtedness (see Note 4), are not included in the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements.
2. | Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FIN No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (FIN 46). FIN 46 requires certain variable interest entities to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary of the entity if the equity investors in the entity do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. The provisions of FIN 46 became effective immediately for all arrangements entered into after January 31, 2003. For arrangements entered into with variable interest entities created prior to January 31, 2003, the provisions of FIN 46 become effective for the first interim or annual period ending after March 15, 2004. The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 46 in the first quarter of 2004; however, such adoption has not had an impact on the Companys results of operations or financial position.
3. | Broadcast Licenses |
The Company accounts for its broadcast licenses in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS 142). The Company believes its broadcast licenses have indefinite useful lives given they are expected to indefinitely contribute to the future cash flows of the Company and that they may be continually renewed without substantial cost to the Company. As such, in accordance with SFAS 142, the broadcast licenses are reviewed for impairment at least annually.
7
LBI MEDIA HOLDINGS, INC.
NOTES TO INTERIM UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
The carrying value of broadcast licenses is evaluated periodically in relation to the operating performance and anticipated future cash flows of the underlying radio and television stations for indicators of impairment. If indicators of impairment are identified and the discounted cash flows estimated to be generated from these assets are less than the carrying value, an adjustment to reduce the carrying value to the fair market value of the assets is recorded, if necessary. The fair value of the Companys broadcast licenses is determined using the discounted cash flow approach. This approach requires the projection of future cash flows and the restatement of these cash flows into their present valuation equivalent through the use of a discount rate. No adjustments to the carrying amounts of broadcast licenses for impairment were made during the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2004.
Accumulated amortization of broadcast licenses totaled approximately $17,696,000 at December 31, 2003 and September 30, 2004.

In July 1999, Empire Burbank Studios, Inc., an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, issued an installment note payable for $3.25 million (the Empire Note), which bore interest at the rate of 8.13% per annum. The Empire Note was payable in monthly principal and interest payments of $31,530, and was scheduled to mature in August 2014. The borrowings under the Empire Note were secured by substantially all of the Empire assets.
On July 1, 2004, Empire refinanced the Empire Note with an installment note payable for approximately $2.6 million (the 2004 Empire Note). The 2004 Empire Note bears interest at the rate of 5.52% per annum, and is payable in monthly principal and interest payments of $21,411 through maturity in July 2019. The borrowings under the 2004 Empire Note are secured primarily by all of Empires real property.
On July 9, 2002, LBI Media issued $150.0 million of senior subordinated notes due 2012 (the Senior Subordinated Notes) and entered into a new $160.0 million senior revolving credit

STATEMENTS
facility (the 2002 Revolver). The proceeds from the Senior Subordinated Notes and 2002 Revolver were used to repay LBI Medias former senior credit facility and senior notes (the July 2002 Refinancing).
The Senior Subordinated Notes bear interest at the rate of 10 1/8% per annum, and interest payments are to be made on a semi-annual basis each January 15 and July 15. LBI Media is a holding company that has no independent assets or operations, other than its investment in its subsidiaries. All of LBI Medias subsidiaries are wholly owned and have provided full and unconditional joint and several guarantees of the Senior Subordinated Notes. The indenture governing the Senior Subordinated Notes contains certain restrictive covenants that, among other things, limit LBI Medias ability to borrow under its senior credit facility. LBI Media can borrow up to $150.0 million under its senior credit facility without restrictions, but any amount over $150.0 million would be subject to LBI Medias compliance with a specified leverage ratio (as defined in the indenture governing the Senior Subordinated Notes). The indenture also limits LBI Medias ability to pay dividends.
Amounts available under the 2002 Revolver were scheduled to begin decreasing quarterly, commencing on June 30, 2005, and continuing until maturity on September 30, 2009. Borrowings under the 2002 Revolver bore interest at the election of LBI Media, based on either the prime rate for base rate loans or the LIBOR rate for LIBOR loans, in each case plus the applicable margin stipulated in the agreement. The applicable margin, which was based on LBI Medias leverage ratio, ranged from 0.25% to 1.75% per annum for base rate loans and 1.50% to 3.00% per annum for LIBOR loans. The 2002 Revolver bore interest at floating rates (ranging from 3.69% to 3.70% at December 31, 2003), and borrowings were secured by substantially all of the assets of LBI Media and its subsidiaries. LBI Media had the option to increase its borrowing capacity under the 2002 Revolver by an additional $40.0 million ($30.0 million after the increase in LBI Medias borrowing capacity described below) subject to participation by its existing lenders or new lenders acceptable to the administrative agent under the 2002 Revolver and subject to restrictions in the indenture relating to its Senior Subordinated Notes. On August 16, 2002, LBI Medias borrowing capacity under the 2002 Revolver was increased by $10.0 million to $170.0 million.
The 2002 Revolver contained customary restrictive covenants that, among other things, limited LBI Medias ability to incur additional indebtedness and liens in connection therewith, pay dividends and make capital expenditures above certain limits. Under the 2002 Revolver, LBI Media was also required to maintain specified financial ratios, such as a maximum total leverage ratio, a maximum senior leverage ratio, a minimum ratio of EBITDA (as defined in the senior credit agreement) to interest expense and a minimum ratio of EBITDA (as defined in the senior credit agreement) to fixed charges.
On June 11, 2004, LBI Media amended and restated the 2002 Revolver (as amended and restated, the 2004 Revolver). The 2004 Revolver includes a $175.0 million revolving loan facility and a $5.0 million swing loan sub-facility. There are no scheduled reductions of commitments under the 2004 Revolver. In addition, LBI Media has the option to request its lenders to increase the amount of the 2004 Revolver by an additional $50.0 million ($30.0

million after the increase in LBI Medias borrowing capacity described below) in the aggregate; however, the lenders are not obligated to do so. Borrowings under the 2004 Revolver bear interest at the election of LBI Media, based on either the prime rate for base rate loans or the LIBOR rate for LIBOR loans, in each case plus the applicable margin stipulated in the senior credit agreement. The applicable margin, which is based on LBI Medias total leverage ratio, ranges from 0.25% to 1.75% per annum for base rate loans and 1.50% to 3.00% per annum for LIBOR loans. As of September 30, 2004, borrowings under the 2004 Revolver bore interest at rates ranging from 3.88% to 4.17% per annum.
On August 11, 2004, LBI Medias borrowing capacity under the 2004 Revolver was increased by $20.0 million to $195.0 million. The 2004 Revolver matures on September 30, 2010.
Borrowings under the 2004 Revolver are secured by substantially all of the tangible and intangible assets of LBI Media and its wholly owned subsidiaries, including a first priority pledge of all capital stock of each of its respective subsidiaries. The 2004 Revolver also contains customary representations, affirmative and negative covenants and defaults for a senior credit facility.
LBI Media pays quarterly commitment fees on the unused portion of the 2004 Revolver based on its utilization rate of the total borrowing capacity. Under certain circumstances, if LBI Media borrows less than 50% of the revolving credit commitment, it must pay a quarterly commitment fee of 0.500% times the unused portion. If LBI Media borrows 50% or more of the total revolving credit commitment, or if its total leverage ratio is below a certain level, it must pay a quarterly commitment fee of 0.375% times the unused portion.
On October 10, 2003, the Company issued $68.4 million aggregate principal amount at maturity of senior discount notes that mature in 2013 (the Senior Discount Notes). The notes were sold at 58.456% of principal amount at maturity, resulting in gross proceeds of approximately $40.0 million and net proceeds of approximately $38.8 million after certain transaction costs. The net proceeds from the offering were used to repay a portion of the indebtedness outstanding under the 2002 Revolver. Under the terms of the Senior Discount Notes, cash interest will not accrue or be payable on the notes prior to October 15, 2008, and instead, the value of the notes will increase each period until it equals $68.4 million on October 15, 2008; such accretion (approximately $1.2 million and $3.4 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004) is recorded as additional interest expense by the Company. After October 15, 2008, cash interest on the notes will accrue at a rate of 11% per year payable semi-annually on each April 15 and October 15; provided, however, that the Company may make a cash interest election on any interest payment date prior to October 15, 2008. If the Company makes a cash interest election, the principal amount of the notes at maturity will be reduced to the accreted value of the notes as of the day of the cash interest election and cash interest will begin to accrue at a rate of 11% per year from the day the Company makes such election. The indenture governing the Senior Discount Notes contains certain restrictive covenants that, among other things, limit the Companys ability to incur additional indebtedness and pay dividends. The Senior Discount Notes are structurally subordinated to the 2004 Revolver and Senior Subordinated Notes.

NOTES TO INTERIM UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
In connection with the July 2002 Refinancing described above, the Company loaned approximately $1.9 million to a stockholder of the Parent. The loan matures in 2009 and bears interest at the applicable federal rate (2.84% per annum). The Company also repaid notes payable to the stockholders of the Parent of approximately $1.9 million.
The 2004 Revolver, Senior Subordinated Notes and Senior Discount Notes contain certain financial and non-financial covenants including restrictions on LBI Medias and LBI Media Holdings ability to pay dividends. At September 30, 2004, the Company was in compliance with all such covenants.
As of September 30, 2004, the Companys long-term debt had scheduled repayments for each of the next five fiscal years as follows:
2004 |
$ | 28,508 | |
2005 |

2007 |

139,247 | ||
$ | 542,306 | ||
The above table does not include interest payments or scheduled repayments relating to debt of the Parent and does not include any deferred compensation amounts the Company may ultimately pay. Pursuant to SEC guidelines, the debt of the Parent is not reflected in the Companys financial statements because (a) the Company will not assume the Parents debt, either presently or in a planned transaction in the future; (b) the proceeds from the offering of the Senior Discount Notes in October 2003 were not used to retire all or a part of the Parents debt; and (c) the Company does not guarantee or pledge its assets as collateral for the Parents debt. The Parent is a holding company that has no assets, operations or cash flows other than its investment in the Company. Accordingly, funding from the Company may be required for the Parent to repay its debt. The Parents debt, which is subordinated in right of payment to the 2004 Revolver, Senior Subordinated Notes and Senior Discount Notes, is described below.
On March 20, 2001, the Parent entered into an agreement whereby in exchange for $30.0 million, it issued junior subordinated notes (the Parent Subordinated Notes) and warrants to the holders of the Parent Subordinated Notes to initially acquire 14.02 shares (approximately 6.55%) of the Parents common stock at an initial exercise price of $.01 per share. In connection with the July 2002 Refinancing and the issuance of the Senior Discount Notes in October 2003 described above, the terms of the Parent Subordinated Notes and the related warrants were amended. The following information gives effect to such amendments. The Parent Subordinated Notes initially bear interest at 9% per year and will bear interest at 13% per year beginning September 21, 2009. The Parent Subordinated Notes will mature on the earliest of (i) January 31, 2014, (ii) their acceleration following the occurrence and continuance of a material event of default (as defined
11
LBI MEDIA HOLDINGS, INC.
NOTES TO INTERIM UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
in the agreement), (iii) a merger, sale or similar transaction involving the Parent or substantially all of the subsidiaries of the Parent, (iv) a sale or other disposition of a majority of the Parents issued and outstanding capital stock or other rights giving a third party a right to elect a majority of the Parents board of directors, and (v) the date on which the warrants issued in connection with the Parent Subordinated Notes are repurchased pursuant to the call options applicable to such warrants. Interest is not payable until maturity.
The warrants will expire on the earlier of (i) the later of (a) July 31, 2015, and (b) the date which is six months from the payment in full of all outstanding principal and interest on the Parent Subordinated Notes or (ii) the closing of an underwritten public equity offering in which the Parent raises at least $25.0 million (subject to extension in certain circumstances).
A performance-based adjustment may increase or decrease the number of shares issued upon exercise of the warrants based on the future consolidated broadcast cash flow (as defined) of the Parent. Upon the maturity date of the Parent Subordinated Notes, the payment in full of the Parent Subordinated Notes and the repurchase of the warrants, a change in control of the Parent or the exercise of the call or put options described below, the number of shares issuable upon the exercise of the warrants at the time of such event will be decreased by multiplying such number of shares by .9367, if the Parent achieves consolidated broadcast cash flow for the trailing 12 months in excess of 125% of its budgeted forecasts and in the case of the sale of the Parent, its total fair market value is greater than 13 times consolidated broadcast cash flow for the trailing 12 months. The number of shares issuable upon the exercise of the warrants will be increased by multiplying such number of shares by 1.0633, if the Parent achieves consolidated broadcast cash flow less than 75% of its budgeted plan for the trailing 12 months and in the case of the sale of the Parent, its total fair market value is less than 15 times consolidated broadcast cash flow for the trailing 12 months.
The warrants contain a put right and a call right as described below. If either of these rights are exercised, it could require a significant amount of cash from the Company to repurchase the warrants, since the Parent is a holding company that has no operations or assets, other than its investment in the Company, and is dependent on the Company for cash flow. However, the Company has no legal obligation to provide that funding.
Put Right: The warrant holders have a put right, which entitles them at any time on or after the maturity date of the Parent Subordinated Notes to require the Parent to repurchase the warrants, or if the warrants have been exercised, the stock issued pursuant to the warrants, at the fair market value of the stock/warrants (the fair market value is subject to certain adjustments). Certain mergers, combinations or sales of assets of the Parent, however, will not trigger such put right, even though such events would have accelerated the obligations under the Parent Subordinated Notes.
Call Right: If the Parent proposes an acquisition with a valuation of at least $5.0 million in connection with which any proposed financing source reasonably requires in good faith, as a condition of financing and/or permitting the acquisition, an amendment to the maturity date of the notes and a majority of the holders of the Parent Subordinated Notes do not agree to such amendment, the Parent has the right to purchase the warrants (or related stock, if the warrants have been issued) at fair market value, in connection with its payment in full of the aggregate of principal and interest outstanding under the Parent Subordinated Notes.

LBI MEDIA HOLDINGS, INC.
NOTES TO INTERIM UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
Based on the relative fair values at the date of issuance, the Parent allocated $13.6 million to the Parent Subordinated Notes and $16.4 million to the warrants. These fair values were determined by using the income and market valuation approaches. The income approach analyzes future cash flows and discounts them to arrive at a current estimated fair value. The market approach uses recent sales and offering prices of similar properties to determine estimated fair value. The Parent Subordinated Notes will be accreted through January 31, 2014, up to their $30.0 million redemption value; such accretion (approximately $238,000 and $237,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2003 and 2004, respectively, and approximately $697,000 and $696,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2004, respectively) is recorded as additional interest expense by the Parent. In the financial statements of the Parent, the warrants are stated at fair value each reporting period (approximately $32,800,000 at September 30, 2004), with subsequent changes in fair value being recorded as deferred financing costs and amortized to interest expense over the remaining life of the Parent Subordinated Notes.
On February 12, 2004, Liberman Broadcasting, Inc., a Delaware corporation, filed a registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-112773) with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the proposed initial public offering of its Class A common stock (the Offering). Immediately before the Offering, Liberman Broadcasting, Inc. will merge with the Parent, a California corporation. Liberman Broadcasting, Inc. will survive the merger and effectively reincorporate the Parent into a Delaware corporation. Based on the current anticipated size and timing of the Offering, it is anticipated that a portion of the net proceeds to the Parent from the Offering will be contributed to the Company and used to repay:
| approximately $18.4 million of the outstanding principal amount under the 2004 Revolver, plus accrued and unpaid interest, |
| $52.5 million of the principal amount of the Senior Subordinated Notes at a redemption price of 110.125%, plus accrued and unpaid interest, and |
| approximately $17.8 million of the accreted value of the Senior Discount Notes at a redemption price of 111.0% of the accreted value to the redemption date. |
Assuming the above redemptions occurred on September 30, 2004, the Company would have incurred (1) approximately $6.0 million in one-time charges relating to the Senior Subordinated Notes, of which approximately $0.6 million relates to the noncash write-off of previously deferred financing costs, and (2) approximately $2.7 million on one-time charges relating to the Senior Discount Notes, of which approximately $0.7 million relates to the noncash write-off of previously deferred financing costs.
Liberman Broadcasting, Inc. plans to redeem all of its outstanding Parent Subordinated Notes at a redemption price of 100.0% with the net proceeds from the Offering. In addition, Liberman Broadcasting, Inc. expects that the warrants will be exercised for shares of its Class A

STATEMENTS
common stock at the closing of the Offering. Liberman Broadcasting, Inc. also intends to enter into an agreement with the holders of the warrants to terminate certain of their rights under the warrant agreement, including the put and call rights. Assuming the Offering closed and the warrants were exercised on September 30, 2004, Liberman Broadcasting, Inc. would have recognized a one-time noncash gain of approximately $5.0 million to reflect the fair market value of the warrants relative to their current book value, based on preliminary equity market valuations. In addition, Liberman Broadcasting, Inc. would have incurred approximately $15.7 million in one-time noncash expenses, relating to the write-off of previously deferred financing costs and a loss resulting from the early retirement of the Parent Subordinated Notes.
5. Acquisitions

On July 20, 2004, the Company completed its acquisition of selected assets of radio station KNOR-FM, licensed to Krum, Texas, pursuant to an asset purchase agreement, dated as of March 18, 2004. The aggregate purchase price was approximately $16,100,000, including acquisition costs of approximately $600,000.

Broadcast license |
$ | 16,019,000 | |
Property and equipment |
81,000 | ||
$ | 16,100,000 | ||
In connection with certain of the above acquisitions of selected radio station assets, the Company entered into local marketing agreements to operate the stations until the purchase was completed. Under such agreements, the Company paid a negotiated monthly fee, provided programming for the related stations, and received the related advertising revenues. The Company expensed the monthly fees as they were incurred. Local marketing agreement expense amounted to approximately $14,000 and $0 during the three months ended September 30, 2003 and 2004, respectively, and $994,000 and $0 during the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2004, respectively. The Company had no local marketing agreements in effect as of September 30, 2004.
6. | Deferred Compensation |
The Company and the Parent have entered into employment agreements with certain employees. The services required under the employment agreements are rendered to the Company, and payment of amounts due under the employment agreements is made by the Company. Accordingly, the Company has reflected amounts due under the employment agreements in its financial statements. In addition to annual compensation and other benefits, these agreements provide the employees with the ability to participate in the increase of the net value (as defined in the employment agreements) of the Parent over certain base amounts (Incentive Compensation). There are two components of Incentive Compensation: (i) a component that vests in varying amounts over time; and (ii) a component that vests upon the attainment of certain performance measures. The time vesting component is accounted for over the vesting periods specified in the employment agreements. Performance based amounts are accounted for at the time it is considered probable that the performance measures will be attained.
The employment agreements contain provisions which allow for limited accelerated vesting in the event of a change in control of the Parent (as defined). Unless there is a change in control of the Parent (as defined), the net value (as defined) of the Parent is to be determined on December 31, 2005, December 31, 2006 or December 31, 2009 (depending upon the particular employment agreement). Any Incentive Compensation amounts due are required to be
15
LBI MEDIA HOLDINGS, INC.
NOTES TO INTERIM UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
paid within thirty days after the date the net value of the Parent is determined. If the Parent is publicly traded, the Company may elect to pay all or a portion of the deferred compensation in the form of common stock of the Parent.
At December 31, 2003 and September 30, 2004, the net value of the Parent exceeded the base amounts set forth in certain of the respective employment agreements, and the employees had vested in approximately $8,506,000 and $11,088,000, respectively, of Incentive Compensation. As a part of the calculation of this incentive compensation, the Company used the income and market valuation approaches to estimate the net value of the Parent. The income approach analyzes future cash flows and discounts them to arrive at a current estimated fair value. The market approach uses recent sales and offering prices of similar properties to determine estimated fair value. The base amounts were negotiated with each employee at the time the employment agreement was entered into. The vested amounts are shown as deferred compensation in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets; the related expense is shown as noncash employee compensation in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
At September 30, 2004, neither the Company nor Parent had funded any portion of the deferred compensation liability.
Upon the closing of the Parents Offering, the Company currently anticipates an immediate change in the net value of the Parent based on preliminary equity market valuations. Assuming the Offering closed on September 30, 2004, the Companys deferred compensation expense would have been approximately $1.9 million lower than the expense recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004.
7. | Related Party Transactions |
The Companys national sales representative is an entity owned by the stockholders of the Parent. This national sales representative charged the Company approximately $689,000 and $512,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2003 and 2004, respectively, and approximately $1,603,000 and $1,410,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2004, respectively. Such amounts, which the Company believes represent market rates, are included in selling expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.
The Company owed its national sales representative approximately $189,000 and $0 as of December 31, 2003 and September 30, 2004, respectively. Such amounts are included in amounts due to related parties in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The Company had approximately $2,735,000 and $3,023,000 due from stockholders of the Parent and from affiliated companies at December 31, 2003 and September 30, 2004, respectively. These loans bear interest at the applicable federal rate and mature through July 2009. Additionally, at the direction of the stockholders of the Parent, the Company has made advances to certain religious and charitable organizations and individuals totaling approximately $118,000 and $107,000 at December 31, 2003 and September 30, 2004,

respectively. These loans and advances plus accrued interest, are included in amounts due from related parties and notes receivable from related parties in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. During the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2004, the Company forgave approximately $71,000 and $0, respectively, in advances made to certain organizations.
One of the Parents stockholders is the sole shareholder of L.D.L. Enterprises, Inc. (LDL), a mail order business. From time to time, the Company allows LDL to use, free of charge, unsold advertising time on its television stations.
8. | Comprehensive Income |
Comprehensive income, which includes net income plus unrealized gains (losses) on investments in marketable securities, amounted to approximately $5,934,080 and $2,125,988 for the three months ended September 30, 2003 and 2004, respectively, and approximately $13,168,965 and $8,259,747 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2004, respectively.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report and the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2003, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K (File No. 333-110122). This Quarterly Report contains, in addition to historical information, forward-looking statements, which involve risk and uncertainties. The words believe, expect, estimate, may, will, could, plan, or continue, and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Our actual results could differ significantly from the results discussed in such forward-looking statements.
Overview
We own and operate radio and television stations in Los Angeles, California, Houston, Texas and Dallas, Texas and a television station in San Diego, California. Our radio stations consist of four FM and two AM stations serving Los Angeles, California and its surrounding areas, five FM and four AM stations serving Houston, Texas and its surrounding areas, and one FM station serving Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas and its surrounding areas. Our four television stations consist of three full-power stations serving Los Angeles, California, Houston, Texas and Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas and a low-power station serving San Diego, California. In addition, we operate a television production facility, Empire Burbank Studios, in Burbank, California that we primarily use to produce our core programming for all of our television stations, and we have television production facilities in Houston and Dallas-Fort Worth that will allow us to produce local programming for those markets.
We operate in two reportable segments, radio and television. We generate revenue primarily from the sale of national, regional and local advertising time on our television and radio stations, the sale of time on a contractual basis to brokered or infomercial customers on our radio and television stations, and, to a lesser extent, the leasing of our production facilities to outside entertainment companies. Advertising rates are, in large part, based on each stations ability to attract audiences in demographic groups targeted by advertisers. We recognize revenues when the commercials are broadcast or the brokered time is made available to the customer. We incur commissions from agencies on local, regional and national advertising and our revenue reflects deductions from gross revenue for commissions to these agencies.
Our primary expenses are employee compensation, including commissions paid to our sales staff, promotion, selling, programming, commissions paid to our national representative firm, SMRT, and general and administrative expenses. Our programming expenses for television consist of costs related to the production of original programming content, production of local newscasts, and the acquisition of programming content from other sources.
We are organized as a Delaware corporation and are a qualified S subsidiary under federal and California state tax laws. As such, we are deemed for tax purposes to be part of our parent, an S corporation, and our taxable income is reported by the shareholders of LBI Holdings I, on their respective federal and state income tax returns.
21
On April 22, 2003, we completed our acquisition of the selected assets of radio station KEYH-AM, licensed to Houston, Texas, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $6.5 million (including acquisition costs), and have significantly changed the format, customer base, revenue stream and employee base of this station.
On May 15, 2003, we completed our acquisition of the selected assets of radio station KMXN-FM, licensed to Garden Grove, California, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $35.6 million (including acquisition costs) and subsequently changed the stations call letters to KEBN-FM. We have significantly changed the format, customer base, revenue stream and employee base of this station.
On January 12, 2004, we completed our acquisition of the selected assets of television station KMPX-TV, licensed to Decatur, Texas, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $37.6 million (including acquisition costs), and have significantly changed the format, customer base, revenue stream and employee base of this station.
On July 20, 2004 we completed our acquisition of the selected assets of radio station KNOR-FM, licensed to Krum, Texas, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $16.1 million (including acquisition costs), and have changed the format, customer base, revenue stream and employee base of this station.
We generally experience lower operating margins for several months following the acquisition of radio and television stations. This is primarily due to the time it takes to fully implement our format changes, build our advertiser base and gain viewer or listener support.
From time to time, we engage in discussions with third parties concerning our possible acquisition of additional radio or television stations or related assets. Any such discussions may or may not lead to our acquisition of additional broadcasting assets.
Liberman Broadcasting, Inc., a Delaware corporation, filed a registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-112773) with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 12, 2004 for the initial public offering of its Class A common stock. Immediately before the offering, Liberman Broadcasting, Inc. will merge with our parent, LBI Holdings, I, Inc., a California corporation. Liberman Broadcasting, Inc. will survive the merger and effectively reincorporate our parent into a Delaware corporation. In this report, Liberman Broadcasting refers to LBI Holdings I, Inc. before the merger and Liberman Broadcasting, Inc. after the merger, each on an unconsolidated basis.

(1) | We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income plus income tax expense, (loss) gain on sale of property and equipment, net interest expense, depreciation and noncash employee compensation. Management considers this measure an important indicator of our liquidity relating to our operations because it eliminates the effects of certain noncash items and our capital structure. This measure should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for or superior to, other measures of liquidity and financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, such as cash flows from operating activities, operating income and net income. In addition, our definition of Adjusted EBITDA may differ from those of many companies reporting similarly named measures. |

We discuss Adjusted EBITDA and the limitations of this financial measure in more detail under Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Non-GAAP Financial Measure.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2004 Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2003
Net Revenues. Net revenues increased by $1.4 million, or 6.1%, to $24.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2004, from $22.8 million for the same period in 2003. This increase was primarily attributable to revenue growth from our television stations in the Los Angeles and Houston markets, along with incremental revenue from our most recent television station acquired in the Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas market. These increases were offset by a decline in revenue from our radio segment, primarily resulting from a decrease in demand for Spanish-language advertising by national advertisers and strong results posted in the third quarter of 2003, when total company revenue growth reached 24.2%.
We currently anticipate continued net revenue growth in the fourth quarter of 2004 from our television segment due to increased advertising time sold, increased advertising rates, and incremental net revenue from our Dallas-Fort Worth station, KMPX-TV. We expect net revenue growth from our radio segment to rebound in the last quarter of the year due to increased advertising time sold to local and national advertisers. Our improved ratings performance in the Spring 2004 and Summer 2004 Arbitron books for our Los Angeles and Houston radio stations should translate into greater advertising time sold in the fourth quarter.
Net revenues for our radio segment decreased by $0.6 million, or 4.7%, to $12.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2004, from $12.7 million for the same period in 2003. This decline was primarily attributable to (i) lower national advertising revenue during the third quarter, as compared to 2003, resulting from a decrease in advertising time sold to national advertisers and (ii) strong results posted in the third quarter of 2003, when revenue growth reached 20.2%.
24
Net revenues for our television segment increased by $2.0 million, or 19.6%, to $12.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2004, from $10.1 million for the same period in 2003. This increase was attributable to revenue growth in our California and Texas markets, reflecting our success in selling and marketing our improved line-up of prime-time programming, higher advertising rates, greater advertising time sold and additional revenues from our newly acquired Dallas-Fort Worth station, KMPX-TV.
Total operating expenses. Total operating expenses increased by $3.9 million, or 32.9%, to $15.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2004 from $11.5 million for the same period in 2003. This increase was due to:
(1) | a $1.4 million increase in program and technical expenses primarily related to (a) additional production of in-house television programs, (b) incremental expenses related to our television station in the Dallas-Fort Worth market, which began operations in January 2004 and (c) additional music license and ratings service fees associated with our radio and television operations, |
(2) | a $0.7 million increase in selling, general and administrative expenses due to (a) higher salaries, commissions and other selling expenses, reflecting our net revenue growth, (b) incremental operating expenses related to the addition of KMPX-TV in January 2004 and (c) moderate increases in other general and administrative expenses associated with our revenue growth, |
(3) | a $0.5 million increase in depreciation expense, primarily due to (a) incremental expenses relating to our 2004 television station asset acquisition in the Dallas-Fort Worth market, (b) the completion of our corporate office and television production facility in Houston during the first quarter of 2004 and (c) additional capital expenditures for our existing properties since the third quarter of 2003, and |
(4) | a $1.3 million increase in noncash employee compensation. Our deferred compensation liability can increase in future periods based on changes in the applicable employees vesting percentage, which is based on time and performance measures, and can increase or decrease in future periods based on changes in the net value of our parent, Liberman Broadcasting. |
Upon the closing of Liberman Broadcastings proposed initial public offering of its Class A common stock, we currently anticipate an immediate change in the net value of Liberman Broadcasting, based on preliminary equity market valuations. Assuming the offering closed on September 30, 2004, our deferred compensation expense would have been approximately $1.9 million lower than the expense recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2004.
We believe that our total operating expenses will continue to increase through the end of 2004 due to increased programming costs for our television segment, increased sales commissions and administrative expenses associated with our anticipated growth in net revenue, and increased expenses associated with our Dallas-Fort Worth television station, KMPX-TV, and our new Dallas-Fort Worth radio station, KNOR-FM. Our television programming
25
expenses will likely continue to increase for the duration of 2004 due to the additional production of in-house programming. Continued growth in expenses may also occur as a result of the acquisition of radio and television assets that we may complete.
Total operating expenses for our radio segment increased by $1.9 million, or 30.1%, to $8.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2004, from $6.1 million for the same period in 2003. This increase was the result of:
(1) | a $0.3 million increase in program and technical expenses, primarily due to (a) an increase in programming compensation and (b) an increase in music license and ratings service fees, |
(2) | a $0.1 million increase in selling, general and administrative expenses, primarily resulting from increases in administrative expenses, offset in part by lower commissions and other selling expenses associated with the decline in net revenue, |
(3) | a $0.2 million increase in depreciation expense, primarily resulting from (a) the completion of our Houston corporate office and production facility in the first quarter of 2004 and (b) additional capital expenditures for our existing stations since the third quarter of 2003, and |
(4) | a $1.3 million increase in noncash employee compensation. |
Total operating expenses for our television segment increased by $2.0 million, or 36.0%, to $7.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2004, from $5.4 million, for the same period in 2003. This increase was primarily the result of:
(1) | a $1.1 million increase in program and technical expenses related to (a) the additional production of in-house programming, (b) the incremental costs associated with our newly acquired Dallas-Fort Worth television station and (c) an increase in ratings service fees, |
(2) | a $0.6 million increase in selling, general and administrative expenses related to (a) incremental costs associated with our Dallas-Fort Worth television station acquired in January 2004, (b) higher commissions and other selling expenses associated with our growth in net revenue and (c) general expense increases associated with revenue growth, and |
(3) | a $0.3 million increase in depreciation expense, primarily resulting from (a) the completion of our corporate office and television production facility in Houston during the first quarter and (b) incremental expenses relating to the additional assets acquired in the January 2004 KMPX-TV transaction. |
Interest expense. Interest expense increased by $1.4 million, or 24.8%, to $6.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2004, from $5.3 million for the corresponding period in 2003. This change is primarily attributable to a $1.2 million accretion on our senior discount notes issued in October 2003.
Interest and other income. Interest and other income increased to $20,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2004, from $18,000 for the same period in 2003.
26
Net income. As a result of the factors noted above, we recognized net income of $2.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2004, as compared to $5.9 million for the same period of 2003, a decrease of $3.8 million. The majority of this decrease can be attributed to increased depreciation expense, interest expense and noncash employee compensation during the third quarter of 2004.
Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA decreased by $0.7 million, or 5.3%, to $11.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2004, from $12.6 million for the same period in 2003. This decline was primarily attributable to the decrease in revenue from our radio segment, coupled with moderate increases in total operating expenses before noncash employee compensation and depreciation. See Non-GAAP Financial Measure.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2004 Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2003
Net Revenues. Net revenues increased by $6.5 million, or 10.4%, to $68.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, from $61.9 million for the same period in 2003. This increase was primarily attributable to revenue growth from our television segment, including additional revenue from our station in the Dallas-Fort Worth market, KMPX-TV, acquired in January 2004. The increase in revenues from our television segment was offset by a modest decline in revenues from our radio division, primarily resulting from lower national advertising time sold during the first nine months of 2004, as compared to the corresponding period in 2003 and strong results posted during the nine months ended September 30, 2003, when total company revenue growth was 19.2%.
Net revenues for our radio segment decreased by $1.3 million, or 3.9%, to $32.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, from $34.1 million for the same period in 2003. This decline was primarily attributable to (i) lower national advertising revenue during the first nine months of 2004, as compared to the same period in 2003, resulting from a decrease in advertising time sold to national advertisers and (ii) strong results posted during the nine months ended September 30, 2003, when revenue growth was 17.7%.
Net revenues for our television segment increased by $7.8 million, or 28.0%, to $35.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, from $27.8 million for the same period in 2003. This increase was attributable to revenue growth in our California and Texas markets, resulting from improved programming ratings, which has enabled us to raise advertising rates and increase advertising time sold. In addition, the growth in revenue from our television segment is attributable to incremental revenues from our new Dallas-Fort Worth station, KMPX-TV, acquired in January 2004.
Total operating expenses. Total operating expenses increased by $7.4 million, or 22.2%, to $40.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 from $33.3 million for the same period in 2003. This increase was due to:
(1) | a $2.6 million increase in program and technical expenses related to (a) additional production of in-house television programs, (b) incremental expenses related to our television station in the Dallas-Fort Worth market, which began operations in January 2004 and (c) higher music license and ratings service fees, |
(2) | a $0.1 million increase in promotional expenses primarily resulting from the addition of our television station in the Dallas-Fort Worth market, |
27
(3) | a $2.3 million increase in selling, general and administrative expenses due to (a) higher sales salaries, commissions and other selling expenses, reflecting net revenue growth in our television segment, (b) additional expenses related to the operation of our recently acquired television station, KMPX-TV, in January 2004 and (c) moderate increases in other general and administrative expenses associated with our revenue growth, |
(4) | a $1.3 million increase in depreciation expense, primarily due to (a) incremental expenses related to the acquisition of selected assets of KMPX-TV in January 2004, (b) the completion of our corporate office and television production facility in Houston during the first quarter of 2004 and (c) increased capital expenditures for our existing properties since the third quarter of 2003, and |
(5) | a $1.1 million increase in noncash employee compensation. Our deferred compensation liability can increase in future periods based on changes in the applicable employees vesting percentage, which is based on time and performance measures, and can increase or decrease in future periods based on changes in the net value of our parent, Liberman Broadcasting. |
Upon the closing of Liberman Broadcastings proposed initial public offering of its Class A common stock, we currently anticipate an immediate change in the net value of Liberman Broadcasting, based on preliminary equity market valuations. Assuming the offering closed on September 30, 2004, our deferred compensation expense would have been approximately $1.9 million lower than the expense recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2004.
Total operating expenses for our radio segment increased by $1.6 million, or 9.1%, to $19.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, from $18.1 million for the same period in 2003. This increase was primarily the result of:
(1) | a $0.3 million increase in program and technical expenses, primarily due to (a) an increase in programming compensation and (b) higher music license and ratings service fees, |
(2) | a $0.5 million increase in depreciation expense, primarily resulting from (a) the completion of our Houston corporate office and production facility in the first quarter of 2004 and (b) additional capital expenditures for our existing stations since the third quarter of 2003, and |
(3) | a $1.1 million increase in noncash employee compensation. |
The increases in expenses described above were offset by a $0.3 million decline in selling, general and administrative expenses, resulting from the absence of local marketing agreement fees for the nine months ended September 30, 2004.
Total operating expenses for our television segment increased by $5.8 million, or 37.7%, to $21.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, from $15.2 million, for the same period in 2003. This increase was primarily the result of:
(1) | a $2.3 million increase in program and technical expenses related to (a) the additional production of in-house programming, (b) the incremental costs associated with our newly acquired television station in the Dallas-Fort Worth market, and (c) higher music license and ratings service fees, |
28
(2) | a $0.1 million increase in promotional expenses, primarily due to the addition of our Dallas-Fort Worth television station acquired in January 2004, |
(3) | a $2.6 million increase in selling, general and administrative expenses related to (a) higher sales salaries and commissions associated with our growth in net revenue, (b) incremental costs associated with our Dallas-Fort Worth television station acquired in January 2004 and (c) general expense increases associated with revenue growth, and |
(4) | a $0.8 million increase in depreciation expense, primarily resulting from (a) the completion of our corporate office and television production facility during the first quarter of 2004 and (b) incremental expenses relating to the additional fixed assets acquired with our most recent asset acquisitions in 2004. |
Interest expense. Interest expense increased by $3.8 million, or 24.6%, to $19.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, from $15.4 million for the same period in 2003. This change is primarily attributable to a $3.4 million accretion on our senior discount notes issued in October 2003.
Interest and other income. Interest and other income increased to $111,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, from $73,000 for the same period in 2003. This change was primarily the result of a $47,000 gain recognized during the second quarter from the sale of a stock investment.
Net income. As a result of the above factors, we recognized net income of $8.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, as compared to $13.2 million for the same period of 2003, a decrease of $4.9 million. The $6.2 million increase in depreciation expense, interest expense and noncash employee compensation during the first nine months of 2004 versus the comparable period in 2003 primarily accounted for the decline in net income.
Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA increased by $1.4 million, or 4.5%, to $34.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, from $32.6 million for the same period in 2003. This increase was primarily attributable to net revenue growth from our existing television stations in the California and Texas markets, and the addition of our television station in the Dallas-Fort Worth market, offset by a decline in net revenues from our radio segment and moderate increases in total operating expenses before noncash employee compensation and depreciation. See -Non-GAAP Financial Measure.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
LBI Medias Senior Credit Facility
Our primary sources of liquidity are cash provided by operations and available borrowings under LBI Medias $175.0 million revolving senior credit facility, which was
29
amended and restated on June 11, 2004. On August 11, 2004, LBI Medias borrowing capacity under its senior credit facility was increased by $20.0 million to $195.0 million. The facility matures on September 30, 2010. Borrowings under LBI Medias senior credit facility bear interest at a rate based on LIBOR or a base rate, plus an applicable margin that is dependent upon LBI Medias leverage ratio (as defined in the senior credit facility). As of September 30, 2004, LBI Media had approximately $132.0 million aggregate principal amount outstanding under the senior credit facility. Since September 30, 2004, LBI Media has repaid $2.6 million under its senior credit facility. Under the indenture governing LBI Medias senior subordinated notes and our senior discount notes, LBI Media is limited in its ability to borrow under the senior credit facility. LBI Media may borrow up to $150.0 million under its senior credit facility without having to meet any restrictions under the indentures governing LBI Medias senior subordinated notes and our senior discount notes, but any amount over $150.0 million that LBI Media may borrow under the senior credit facility will be subject to specified leverage ratios (as defined in the indentures governing LBI Medias senior subordinated notes and our senior discount notes). LBI Media may increase the borrowing capacity under its senior credit facility by up to an additional $30.0 million, subject to participation by its existing lenders or new lenders acceptable to the administrative agent under the senior credit facility and subject to restrictions in the indentures governing LBI Medias senior subordinated notes and our senior discount notes.
LBI Medias senior credit facility contains customary restrictive covenants that, among other things, limit its ability to incur additional indebtedness and liens in connection therewith, pay dividends and make capital expenditures above certain limits. Under the senior credit facility, LBI Media must also maintain specified financial ratios, such as a maximum total leverage ratio, a maximum senior leverage ratio, a minimum ratio of EBITDA (as defined in the senior credit agreement) to interest expense and a minimum ratio of EBITDA (as defined in the senior credit agreement) to fixed charges. As of September 30, 2004, LBI Media was in compliance with these covenants. Based on the current anticipated size and timing of Liberman Broadcastings initial public offering of its Class A common stock, LBI Media plans to repay approximately $18.4 million of the outstanding principal amount under its senior credit facility, plus accrued and unpaid interest, with the net proceeds contributed from Liberman Broadcasting.
LBI Medias Senior Subordinated Notes
In July 2002, LBI Media issued $150.0 million of Senior Subordinated Notes that mature in 2012. Under the terms of its senior subordinated notes, LBI Media pays semi-annual interest payments of approximately $7.6 million each January 15 and July 15. After giving effect to the partial redemption of LBI Medias senior subordinated notes with the net proceeds contributed to LBI Media from Liberman Broadcastings anticipated initial public offering of Class A common stock (discussed below), the semi-annual payments will be approximately $4.9 million. The indenture governing LBI Medias senior subordinated notes contains certain restrictive covenants that, among other things, limit LBI Medias ability to incur additional indebtedness and pay dividends. As of September 30, 2004, LBI Media was in compliance with these covenants. LBI Media plans to redeem $52.5 million of the principal amount of its senior subordinated notes at a price of 110.125%, plus accrued and unpaid interest, with the net proceeds contributed to LBI Media from Liberman Broadcastings initial public offering of Class A common stock. Assuming this redemption occurred on September 30, 2004, LBI Media would have incurred approximately $6.0 million in one-time charges, of which approximately $0.6 million relates to the noncash write-off of previously deferred financing costs.
30
Senior Discount Notes
In October 2003, we issued $68.4 million aggregate principal amount at maturity of 11% Senior Discount Notes that mature in 2013. Under the terms of the notes, cash interest will not accrue or be payable on the senior discount notes prior to October 15, 2008 and instead the accreted value of the notes will increase until such date. Thereafter, cash interest on the notes will accrue at a rate of 11% per year payable semi-annually on each April 15 and October 15; provided, however, that we may make a cash interest election on any interest payment date prior to October 15, 2008. If we make a cash interest election, the principal amount of the notes at maturity will be reduced to the accreted value of the notes as of the day of the cash interest election and cash interest will begin to accrue at a rate of 11% per year from the day we make such election. The indenture governing the senior discount notes contains certain restrictive covenants that, among other things, limit our ability to incur additional indebtedness and pay dividends. Our senior discount notes are structurally subordinated to LBI Medias senior credit facility and senior subordinated notes. We plan to redeem approximately $17.8 million of the accreted value of our senior discount notes at a redemption price of 111.0% of the accreted value to the redemption date with the net proceeds contributed by Liberman Broadcasting, from its initial public offering. Assuming this redemption occurred on September 30, 2004, we would have incurred approximately $2.7 million in one-time charges, of which approximately $0.7 million relates to the noncash write-off of previously deferred financing costs.
Liberman Broadcastings 9% Subordinated Notes
In March 2001, our parent, Liberman Broadcasting, issued $30.0 million principal amount of 9% subordinated notes. The 9% subordinated notes are subordinate in right of payment to LBI Medias senior credit facility and senior subordinated notes, and are structurally subordinated to our senior discount notes. The 9% subordinated notes will mature on the earliest of (i) January 31, 2014, (ii) their acceleration following the occurrence and continuance of a material event of default, (iii) a merger, sale or similar transaction involving Liberman Broadcasting or substantially all of the subsidiaries of Liberman Broadcasting, (iv) a sale or other disposition of a majority of Liberman Broadcastings issued and outstanding capital stock or other rights giving a third party a right to elect a majority of Liberman Broadcastings board of directors, and (v) the date on which the warrants issued in connection with Liberman Broadcastings 9% subordinated notes are repurchased pursuant to the call options applicable to the warrants. Interest is not payable until maturity. Liberman Broadcasting plans to redeem all of its outstanding 9% subordinated notes at a price of 100.0% with the net proceeds from its anticipated initial public offering of Class A common stock. Assuming this redemption occurred on September 30, 2004, Liberman Broadcasting would have incurred approximately $15.7 million in one-time noncash expenses, relating to the write-off of previously deferred financing costs and a loss resulting from the early retirement of the 9% subordinated notes.
In connection with these 9% subordinated notes, Liberman Broadcasting also issued warrants to purchase shares of its common stock. The warrants have a put feature, which would allow the warrant holders at any time on or after the maturity date of the 9% subordinated notes, to require Liberman Broadcasting to repurchase the warrants or common stock issued upon exercise of the warrants at fair market value under certain events, and a call feature, which would allow Liberman Broadcasting to repurchase the warrants at its option under certain events. Certain mergers, combinations or sales of assets of Liberman Broadcasting, however, will not trigger the put right, even though such events would have accelerated the obligations under the
31
9% subordinated notes. We expect that these warrants will be exercised for shares of Liberman Broadcastings Class A common stock at the closing of the anticipated initial public offering of its Class A common stock. Liberman Broadcasting also intends to enter into an agreement with the holders of the warrants to terminate certain of their rights under the warrant agreement, including the put and call rights. Assuming the offering closed and the warrants were exercised on September 30, 2004, Liberman Broadcasting would have recognized a one-time noncash gain of approximately $5.0 million to reflect the fair market value of the warrants relative to their current book value, based on preliminary equity valuations.
Empire Burbank Studios Mortgage Note
One of our indirect, wholly owned subsidiaries, Empire Burbank Studios, Inc. (Empire), borrowed $3.25 million from City National Bank in July 1999. To secure that borrowing on a non-recourse basis, Empire executed a mortgage on its property in Burbank, California in favor of City National Bank as security for the loan. The loan bore interest at 8.13% per annum and was payable in monthly principal and interest payments of $31,530 through its scheduled maturity in August 2014.
On July 1, 2004, Empire refinanced its former mortgage note (described above) with an installment note payable for approximately $2.6 million. The new loan is secured primarily by Empires real property located in Burbank, California and bears interest at 5.52% per annum. The loan is payable in monthly principal and interest payments of $21,411 through maturity in July 2019.

The above table does not include the 9% subordinated notes of our parent, Liberman Broadcasting.
Cash Flows
Cash and cash equivalents were $6.7 million and $2.6 million at December 31, 2003 and September 30, 2004, respectively.
Net cash flow provided by operating activities was $10.6 million and $14.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2004, respectively. The increase in our net cash flow provided by operating activities was primarily the result of an increase in operating income, exclusive of depreciation and noncash employee compensation, and improved accounts receivable collections during the first nine months of 2004, as compared to the same period in 2003.
Net cash flow used in investing activities was $47.9 million and $59.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2004, respectively. Net cash flows used in investing activities primarily reflects $39.2 million and $51.8 million, respectively, in cash used for acquisitions of selected radio and television station assets we completed in these periods, and capital expenditures of $6.9 million and $8.3 million, respectively.
33
Net cash flow provided by financing activities was $36.2 million and $41.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2004, respectively. The increase in our net cash flow provided by financing activities is primarily attributable to the additional funds borrowed under LBI Medias senior credit facility during the first nine months of 2004 to acquire the selected assets of KMPX-TV and KNOR-FM in the Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas market. Excluding acquisition related costs, the total purchase price of these acquisitions was $52.5 million, as compared to a total purchase price of $40.7 for the asset acquisitions we completed during the first nine months of 2003. The increase in our net cash flow provided by financing activities was partially offset by an increase in principal payments on outstanding bank borrowings as a result of higher operating income, exclusive of depreciation and noncash employee compensation, and improved working capital account balances during the nine months ended September 30, 2004.
Contractual Obligations
We have certain cash obligations and other commercial commitments, which will impact our short- and long-term liquidity. At September 30, 2004, such obligations and commitments were LBI Medias senior credit facility and senior subordinated notes, our senior discount notes, certain non-recourse debt of one of our indirect, wholly owned subsidiaries and our operating leases as follows:

The above table includes principal and interest payments under our debt agreements, based on our interest rates as of September 30, 2004, and assumes no additional borrowings or principal payments on LBI Medias senior credit facility until its maturity in 2010. It does not include Liberman Broadcastings 9% subordinated notes or any deferred compensation amounts we may ultimately pay.
Expected Use of Cash Flows
For both our radio and television segments, we have historically funded, and will continue to fund, expenditures for operations, administrative expenses, capital expenditures and debt service from our operating cash flow and borrowings under LBI Medias senior credit facility. For our television segment, our planned uses of liquidity during the next twelve months will include completing the construction of a new analog antenna and the addition of studio equipment for our television station in Houston, Texas. We estimate the costs to be approximately $0.8 million for these projects. We will also incur approximately $2.4 million in costs to complete the relocation of our Dallas television antenna to a new tower site and purchase additional studio equipment for the station. For our radio segment, our planned uses of liquidity during the next twelve months will include the construction of a new tower site for our newly
34
acquired Dallas-Fort Worth radio station, KNOR-FM, at an estimated cost of $1.9 million. We may also upgrade several of our radio stations and towers located in the Houston market for approximately $5.7 million.
We have used, and expect to continue to use, a significant portion of our capital resources to fund acquisitions. Future acquisitions will be funded from amounts available under LBI Medias senior credit facility, contributions from our parent, the proceeds of future equity or debt offerings and our internally generated cash flows. We believe that our cash on hand, cash provided by operating activities and borrowings under LBI Medias senior credit facility will be sufficient to permit us to fund our contractual obligations and operations for at least the next twelve months.
Inflation
We believe that inflation in recent years has not had a significant effect on our business. However, there can be no assurance that future inflation would not have an adverse impact on our operating results and financial condition.
Seasonality
Seasonal net revenue fluctuations are common in the television and radio broadcasting industry and result primarily from fluctuations in advertising expenditures by local and national advertisers. Our first fiscal quarter generally produces the lowest net broadcast revenue for the year.
Non-GAAP Financial Measure
We use the term Adjusted EBITDA throughout this report. Adjusted EBITDA consists of net income plus income tax expense, (loss) gain on sale of property and equipment, net interest expense, depreciation and noncash employee compensation.
This term, as we define it, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies and is not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP.
Management considers this measure an important indicator of our liquidity relating to our operations, as it eliminates the effects of certain noncash items. Management believes liquidity is an important measure for our company because it reflects our ability to meet the interest payments under our substantial indebtedness and is a measure of the amount of cash available to grow our company through our acquisition strategy. This measure should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for or superior to, other measures of liquidity and financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP, such as cash flows from operating activities, operating income and net income.
We believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful to an investor in evaluating our liquidity and cash flow because:
| it is widely used in the broadcasting industry to measure a companys liquidity and cash flow without regard to items such as depreciation and noncash employee compensation. The broadcast industry uses liquidity to determine whether a company |
35
will be able to cover its capital expenditures and whether a company will be able to acquire additional assets and broadcast licenses if the company has an acquisition strategy. We believe that by eliminating the effects of noncash items, Adjusted EBITDA provides a meaningful measure of liquidity.
| it gives investors another measure to evaluate and compare the results of operations from period to period by removing the impact of noncash expense items, such as noncash employee compensation and depreciation. By removing the noncash items, it allows investors to better determine whether we will be able to meet our debt obligations as they become due; and |
| it provides a liquidity measure before the impact of a companys capital structure by removing net interest expense items. |
Our management uses Adjusted EBITDA:
| as a measure to assist us in planning our acquisition strategy; |
| in presentations to our board of directors to enable them to have the same consistent measurement basis of liquidity and cash flow used by management; |
| as a measure for determining our operating budget and our ability to fund working capital; and |
| as a measure for planning and forecasting capital expenditures. |
The SEC has adopted rules regulating the use of non-GAAP financial measures, such as Adjusted EBITDA, in filings with the SEC and in disclosures and press releases. These rules require non-GAAP financial measures to be presented with and reconciled to the most nearly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. We have included a presentation of net cash provided by operating activities and a reconciliation to Adjusted EBITDA on a consolidated basis under Item 2. Results of Operations.
Critical Accounting Policies
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to acquisitions of radio and television station assets, allowance for bad debts, intangible assets, deferred compensation and commitments and contingencies. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
36
We believe the following accounting policies and the related judgments and estimates affect the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.
Acquisitions of radio and television station assets
Our radio and television station acquisitions have consisted primarily of the FCC licenses to broadcast in a particular market (broadcast licenses). We generally acquire the existing format and change it upon acquisition. As a result, a substantial portion of the purchase price for the assets of a radio or television station is allocated to its broadcast license. The allocations assigned to acquired broadcast licenses and other assets are subjective by their nature and require our careful consideration and judgment. We believe the allocations represent appropriate estimates of the fair value of the assets acquired.
Allowance for bad debts
We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. A considerable amount of judgment is required in assessing the likelihood of ultimate realization of these receivables including the current creditworthiness of each advertiser. If the financial condition of our advertisers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.
Intangible assets
We account for our broadcast licenses in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS 142). We believe our broadcast licenses have indefinite useful lives given they are expected to indefinitely contribute to our future cash flows and that they may be continually renewed without substantial cost to us. As such, in accordance with SFAS 142, we review our broadcast licenses for impairment at least annually.
The assessment of the fair values of our broadcast licenses are estimates which require careful consideration and judgments. In determining these fair values, we use the discounted cash flow approach. This approach requires the projection of future cash flows and the restatement of these cash flows into their present value equivalent through the use of a discount rate. If the operating results of our stations or conditions in the markets in which they operate change or fail to develop as anticipated, our estimates of the fair values may change in the future and result in impairment charges.
Deferred compensation
We and our parent, Liberman Broadcasting, have entered into employment agreements with certain employees. In addition to annual compensation and other benefits, these agreements provide the employees with the ability to participate in the increase of the net value of Liberman Broadcasting over certain base amounts. As part of the calculation of this incentive compensation, we use the income and market valuation approaches to determine the net value of Liberman Broadcasting. The income approach analyzes future cash flows and discounts them to arrive at a current estimated fair value. The market approach uses recent sales and offering prices of similar properties to determine estimated fair value. Based on the net value of
37
Liberman Broadcasting as determined in these analyses, and based on the percentage of incentive compensation that has vested (as set forth in the employment agreements), we record noncash employee compensation expense (and a corresponding deferred compensation liability).
Our deferred compensation liability can increase based on changes in the applicable employees vesting percentage and can increase or decrease based on changes in the net value of Liberman Broadcasting. We have two deferred compensation components that comprise the employees vesting percentage: (i) a component that vests in varying amounts over time; and (ii) a component that vests upon the attainment of certain performance measures (each unique to the individual agreements). We account for the time vesting component over the vesting periods specified in the employment agreements and account for the performance based component when we consider it probable that the performance measures will be attained.
Assuming no change in the net value of Liberman Broadcasting from that at September 30, 2004, we would expect to record an additional $0.5 million of noncash deferred compensation expense during the fourth quarter of 2004 relating solely to the time vesting portion of the deferred compensation.
Upon the closing of Liberman Broadcastings proposed initial public offering of its Class A common stock, we currently anticipate an immediate change in the net value of Liberman Broadcasting based on preliminary equity market valuations. Assuming this offering closed on September 30, 2004, our deferred compensation expense would have been approximately $1.9 million lower than the expense recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004.
Commitments and contingencies
We periodically record the estimated impacts of various conditions, situations or circumstances involving uncertain outcomes. These events are called contingencies, and our accounting for such events is prescribed by SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies.
The accrual of a contingency involves considerable judgment on the part of our management. We use our internal expertise, and outside experts (such as lawyers), as necessary, to help estimate the probability that a loss has been incurred and the amount (or range) of the loss. We currently do not have any material contingencies that we believe require accrual or disclosure in our consolidated financial statements.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2003, the FASB issued FIN No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (FIN 46). FIN 46 requires certain variable interest entities to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary of the entity if the equity investors in the entity do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. The provisions of FIN 46 became effective immediately for all arrangements entered into after January 31, 2003. For all arrangements entered into with variable interest entities created prior to January 31, 2003, the provisions of FIN 46 become effective for the first interim or annual period ending after March 15, 2004. We adopted the provisions of FIN 46 in the first quarter of 2004; however, such adoption has not had a impact on our results of operations or financial position.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
The forward looking statements in this report, including statements concerning projections of our future results, operating profits and earnings, are based on current expectations and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by those statements. The risks and uncertainties include but are not limited to:
| our dependence on advertising revenues; |
| general economic conditions in the United States; |
| our ability to reduce costs without adversely impacting revenues; |
| changes in the rules and regulations of the FCC; |
| our ability to attract, motivate and retain salespeople and other key personnel; |
| our ability to successfully convert acquired radio and television stations to a Spanish-language format; |
| our ability to maintain FCC licenses for our radio and television stations; |
| successful integration of acquired radio and television stations; |
| potential disruption from natural hazards; |

| strong competition in the radio and television broadcasting industries. |
The forward-looking statements in this report, as well as subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf, are hereby expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements in this report.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Our exposure to market risk is currently confined to our cash and cash equivalents, changes in interest rates related to borrowings under LBI Medias senior credit facility, and changes in the fair value of LBI Medias senior subordinated notes and our senior discount notes. Because of the short-term maturities of our cash and cash equivalents, we do not believe that an increase in market rates would have any significant impact on the realized value of our investments. We currently do not hedge interest rate exposure and are not exposed to the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.
We are exposed to changes in interest rates on LBI Medias variable rate senior credit facility. A hypothetical 10% increase in the interest rates applicable to the year ended December
39
31, 2003 would have increased interest expense by approximately $0.4 million. Conversely, a hypothetical 10% decrease in the interest rates applicable to the year ended December 31, 2003 would have decreased interest expense by approximately $0.4 million. At December 31, 2003, we believe that the carrying value of amounts payable under LBI Medias senior credit facility approximates its fair value based upon current yields for debt issues of similar quality and terms.
The fair value of our fixed rate long-term debt is sensitive to changes in interest rates. Based upon a hypothetical 10% increase in the interest rate, assuming all other conditions affecting market risk remain constant, the market value of our fixed rate debt would have decreased by approximately $12.6 million at December 31, 2003. Conversely, a hypothetical 10% decrease in the interest rate, assuming all other conditions affecting market risk remain constant, would have resulted in an increase in market value of approximately $13.9 million at December 31, 2003. Management does not foresee nor expect any significant change in our exposure to interest rate fluctuations or in how such exposure is managed in the future.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our President and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based upon that evaluation, our President and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our President and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding the required disclosure.
There have been no significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting, identified in connection with the evaluation of such internal control that occurred during our last fiscal quarter, which have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
