COX RADIO, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND OTHER INFORMATION

     Cox Radio is a leading national radio broadcasting company whose business, which constitutes one reportable segment, is devoted to acquiring, developing and operating radio stations located throughout the United States. Cox Enterprises, Inc. indirectly owns approximately 62% of the common stock of Cox Radio and has approximately 94% of the voting power of Cox Radio.

     The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnote disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the financial statements reflect all adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations and financial position for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. These unaudited consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2001 and notes thereto contained in Cox Radio’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

     The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2002 or any other period.

     Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for comparative purposes.

2. ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS OF BUSINESSES

     During the past several years, Cox Radio has actively managed its portfolio of radio stations through selected acquisitions, dispositions and exchanges, as well as through the use of local marketing agreements, or LMAs, and joint sales agreements, or JSAs. Under an LMA or a JSA, the company operating a station provides programming or sales and marketing or a combination of such services on behalf of the owner of a station.

     The following disposition activity has been entered into or consummated during the six months ended June 30, 2002 and through August 14, 2002.

     In January 2002, Cox Radio disposed of the assets of KRTR-AM (formerly KGMZ-AM) serving Honolulu, Hawaii for $0.6 million. The buyer of the station had been operating the station under an LMA since October 2001.

     In June 2002, Cox Radio disposed of the assets of KCCN-AM serving Honolulu, Hawaii for $0.8 million.

     In August 2002, Cox Radio disposed of the assets of WBWL-AM serving Jacksonville, Florida for $2.5 million.

     The pro forma effects of these transactions are immaterial for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001.

3. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

     On June 30, 2000, Cox Radio entered into a $350 million, five-year senior unsecured revolving credit facility and a $350 million, 364-day senior unsecured revolving credit facility, each with certain banks, including The Chase Manhattan Bank as the Administrative Agent, Bank of America, N.A. as the Syndication Agent, and Citibank, N.A. as the Documentation Agent. On June 29, 2001, the five-year facility was amended to revise the definition of interest expense and to make certain other non-material changes. On June 28, 2002, Cox Radio replaced its $350 million, 364-day senior unsecured revolving credit facility with a $150 million, 364-day senior unsecured revolving credit facility. The interest rate for each facility is, at Cox Radio’s option, the greater of the prime rate or the federal funds borrowing rate plus 0.5%; the London Interbank Offered Rate plus a spread based on the credit ratings of Cox Radio’s senior long-term debt; or the bid rate for the purchase of certificates of deposit of equal principal amount and maturity plus a spread based on the credit ratings of Cox Radio’s senior long-term debt. Under the new $150 million 364-day senior unsecured revolving credit facility, Cox Radio may also choose an interest rate index based on the federal funds rate. The $150 million 364-day facility also amended certain financial covenants and provides for a letter of credit facility. Each facility includes a commitment fee on the unused portion of the total amount available of 0.1% to 0.25% based on the credit ratings of Cox Radio’s senior long-term debt. Each facility also contains, among other provisions, specified requirements as to the ratio of debt to EBITDA and the ratio of EBITDA to interest expense. At June 30, 2002, Cox Radio was in compliance with the covenants under both facilities. Cox Radio’s credit facilities contain Events of Default based on (i) the failure to pay when due other debt, the outstanding amount of which exceeds $25 million, after the expiration of applicable grace periods and (ii) the acceleration of other debt, the outstanding amount of which exceeds $25 million. At June 30, 2002, Cox Radio had approximately $210 million of outstanding indebtedness under the five-year facility with $140 million available, and no amounts outstanding under the 364-day facility with $150 million available. The interest rate applied to amounts due under the bank credit facilities was 2.475% at June 30, 2002. At December 31, 2001, Cox Radio had approximately $255 million of outstanding indebtedness under the five-year facility with $95 million available, and no amounts outstanding under the 364-day facility with $350 million available. The interest rate applied to amounts due under the bank credit facilities was 2.755% at December 31, 2001. Since the interest rate is variable, the recorded balance of the credit facilities approximates fair value. See Note 5 for a discussion of Cox Radio’s interest rate swap agreements.

     On June 20, 2002, Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. lowered its rating on Cox Radio’s senior, unsecured, long-term debt securities from Baa2 to Baa3. Following this action, Cox Radio’s Moody’s rating remains investment grade. This action did not have a material adverse effect on Cox Radio’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

     Cox Radio has $450 million in outstanding public debt, as described below:

                 
Principal Amount   Interest Rate   Maturity

 
 
$100,000,000(1)
    6.25 %     2003  
$100,000,000(1)
    6.375 %     2005  
$250,000,000(2)
    6.625 %     2006  


(1)   At June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, the estimated aggregate fair values of the 6.25% notes and the 6.375% notes were approximately $194.6 million and $205.8 million, respectively, based on quoted market prices. The notes due in 2003 have been classified as long-term debt because Cox Radio has the ability and intent to refinance this obligation on a long-term basis.
 
(2)   At June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, the estimated fair value of these notes was approximately $233.8 million and $256.8 million, respectively, based on quoted market prices.

     Cox Radio has an effective universal shelf registration statement under which Cox Radio and two financing trusts sponsored by Cox Radio may from time to time offer and issue debentures, notes, bonds and other evidence of indebtedness and forward contracts in respect of any such indebtedness, shares of preferred stock, shares of Class A Common Stock, warrants, stock purchase contracts, stock purchase units and stock purchase rights of Cox Radio and preferred securities of the Cox Radio trusts. At June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, $244.8 million was available under the universal shelf registration.

     Cox Radio is the guarantor of certain acquisition debt of Honolulu Broadcasting, Inc. totaling $7.6 million. Honolulu Broadcasting, Inc. owns WARV-FM, serving Richmond, Virginia, and KGMZ-FM, serving Honolulu, Hawaii, and Cox Radio provides sales and marketing services under JSAs to these stations.

     In October 1999, the Radio Music License Committee, of which Cox Radio is a participant, filed a motion in the New York courts against Broadcast Music, Inc. to commence a rate-making proceeding on behalf of the radio industry and to seek a determination of fair and reasonable industry-wide license fees. Cox Radio is currently operating under interim license agreements for the period commencing January 1, 1997 at the rates and terms reflected in prior agreements. Cox Radio’s management estimates that the impact of an unfavorable outcome of the motion will not materially impact Cox Radio’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

     On June 13, 2001, Cox Radio was named as defendant in a putative class action suit filed in an amended complaint in the state court in Fulton County, Georgia, alleging violations of the Federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act. The complaint seeks statutory damages in the amount of $1,500 plus attorneys’ fees, on behalf of each person “throughout the State of Georgia” who received an unsolicited pre-recorded telephone message in October 1999 delivering an “advertisement” from a Cox Radio radio station. On October 30, 2001, the parties entered into a consent agreement staying all proceedings through April 2002. On May 24, 2002, the court granted the parties’ joint request for a further stay of all proceedings until the earlier of either six months, or a ruling by the Georgia Court of Appeals in a similar action pending against a third-party radio broadcast company. Cox Radio intends to defend this action vigorously. The outcome of this matter cannot be predicted at this time.

     Cox Radio and its controlling shareholder, Cox Broadcasting, Inc., have been sued in Georgia federal court by broadcast station broker Force Communications for breach of contract and other theories involving a failure to pay the broker a commission allegedly due on two transactions. The suit seeks contract damages in excess of $5 million plus interest, costs, expenses and attorneys’ fees. Following completion of discovery, the parties filed cross-motions for summary judgment and on July 1, 2002, the court granted defendants’ motion for summary judgment and denied Force Communications’ cross-motion for partial summary judgment. On July 5, 2002, the court entered judgment in favor of Cox Radio and Cox Broadcasting, Inc. on all counts. On July 31, 2002, Force Communications filed a notice of appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit from the order entering summary judgment in favor of Cox Radio and Cox Broadcasting, Inc. and from the entry of judgment. Cox Radio and Cox Broadcasting, Inc. intend to defend this matter vigorously on appeal. The outcome of this matter cannot be predicted at this time.

     Cox Radio is a party to various other legal proceedings that are ordinary and incidental to its business. Management does not expect that any of these legal proceedings currently pending will have a material adverse impact on Cox Radio’s consolidated financial position, consolidated results of operations or cash flows.

The options, which expire in 2009, were still outstanding as of June 30, 2002.

5. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

     Cox Radio is exposed to fluctuations in interest rates. Cox Radio actively monitors these fluctuations and uses derivative instruments from time to time to manage the related risk. In accordance with its risk management strategy, Cox Radio uses derivative instruments only for the purpose of managing risk associated with an asset, liability, committed transaction, or probable forecasted transaction that is identified by management. Cox Radio’s use of derivative instruments may result in short-term gains or losses and may increase volatility in its earnings. Cox Radio had three interest rate swap agreements outstanding as of June 30, 2002, each of which is used to manage its exposure to the variability of future cash flows related to certain of its floating rate interest obligations that may result due to changes in interest rates. The counterparties to these interest rate swap agreements are a diverse group of major financial institutions. Although Cox Radio is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by these counterparties, Cox Radio does not anticipate nonperformance by these counterparties nor would Cox Radio expect any such loss to be material.

     On January 1, 2001, Cox Radio adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (the “FASB”) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“Statement”) No. 133, as amended, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” as amended by Statement No. 137, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities — Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133,” and Statement No. 138, “Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities.” Statement No. 133, as amended, requires all derivative instruments to be measured at fair value and recognized as either assets or liabilities. In addition, all derivative instruments used in hedging transactions must be designated, reassessed and documented pursuant to the provisions of Statement No. 133, as amended.

     Under Statement No. 133, as amended, the accounting for changes in the fair values of derivative instruments at each new measurement date is dependent upon their intended use. The effective portion of changes in the fair values of derivative instruments designated as hedges of forecasted transactions, referred to as cash flow hedges, are deferred and recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income until the hedged forecasted transactions occur and are recognized in earnings. The ineffective portion of changes in the fair values of derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges are immediately reclassified to earnings. The differential paid or received on the interest rate swap agreements is recognized as an adjustment to interest expense.

     Cox Radio’s three interest rate swap agreements qualify as cash flow hedges, and upon adoption of Statement No. 133, as amended, Cox Radio recognized a one-time after-tax transition adjustment to reduce earnings and increase accumulated other comprehensive loss by approximately $0.8 million and $0.7 million, respectively. These amounts were presented as a cumulative effect of change in accounting principle, net of tax, in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Shareholders’ Equity for the year ended December 31, 2001. The portion of the transition adjustment affecting earnings relates to the previously recorded fair values of the derivatives.

     During the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, there was no ineffective portion related to the changes in fair values of the interest rate swap agreements and there were no amounts excluded from the measure of effectiveness. In addition, of the $0.7 million recorded as an increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss on January 1, 2001, approximately $76,000, before related income tax effects of approximately $33,000, was reclassified into earnings as interest expense during each quarter of 2001 and during each of the first two quarters of 2002. The balance of ($0.1) million recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss at June 30, 2002 is expected to be reclassified into future earnings, contemporaneously with, and offsetting, changes in interest expense on certain of Cox Radio’s floating rate interest obligations. The estimated amount to be reclassified into future earnings as interest expense over the twelve months ending June 30, 2003 is approximately $0.3 million, before related income tax effects of approximately $0.1 million. The actual amount that will be reclassified to future earnings over the next twelve months may vary from this amount as a result of changes in market conditions related to interest rates.

Table of Contents

     At June 30, 2002, interest rate swap agreements with a $75 million notional principal amount were outstanding at an average rate of 6.28% per annum and an average maturity of 3 years. The estimated fair value of these swap agreements, based on current market rates, approximated a net payable of $4.1 million and $3.8 million at June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively. The fair value of the swap agreements at June 30, 2002 is included in other current liabilities and other long-term liabilities according to the respective maturity dates of the swaps.

6. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

     In June 2001, the FASB issued Statement No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” which requires that goodwill and certain intangible assets not be amortized. Instead, these assets are to be reviewed annually for impairment and written down only in the periods in which the recorded value of goodwill and certain intangibles is more than their fair value. The provisions of Statement No. 142 also require the completion of a transitional impairment test within six months of adoption, with any impairments identified treated as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. Cox Radio adopted this Statement on January 1, 2002.

     In accordance with Statement No. 142, Cox Radio discontinued the amortization of its FCC licenses and goodwill effective January 1, 2002. During the quarter ended March 31, 2002, Cox Radio also recognized an after-tax impairment charge of $13.9 million related to changes in valuation assumptions for FCC licenses in certain markets based on independent appraisals. A reconciliation of previously reported net income and earnings per share to the amounts adjusted for the exclusion of amortization of goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives, net of the related income tax effect, follows:

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the accompanying unaudited historical Consolidated Statements of Income for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001.

     This report contains “forward-looking” statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements include, among others, statements that relate to Cox Radio’s future plans, earnings, objectives, expectations, performance, and similar projections, as well as any facts or assumptions underlying these statements or projections. Actual results may differ materially from the results expressed or implied in these forward-looking statements, due to various risks, uncertainties or other factors. These factors include competition within the radio broadcasting industry, advertising demand in our markets, the possibility that advertisers may cancel or postpone schedules in response to political events, competition for audience share, our success in executing and integrating acquisitions, our ability to execute our Internet strategy effectively, and our ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet our debt service obligations and finance operations. For a more detailed discussion of these and other risk factors, see the Risk Factors section of Cox Radio’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001. Cox Radio assumes no responsibility to update any forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

GENERAL

     Cox Radio is a leading national radio broadcast company whose business is acquiring, developing and operating radio stations located throughout the United States. Cox Enterprises indirectly owns approximately 62% of the common stock of Cox Radio and has approximately 94% of the voting power of Cox Radio.

     The performance of a radio station group such as Cox Radio is customarily measured by its ability to generate Broadcast Cash Flow. Broadcast Cash Flow is net revenues less station operating expenses. Although Broadcast Cash Flow is not recognized under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, it is accepted by the broadcasting industry as a generally recognized measure of performance and is used by analysts who report publicly on the condition and performance of broadcasting companies. For the foregoing reasons, Cox Radio believes that this measure will be useful to investors. However, Broadcast Cash Flow should not be considered an alternative to operating income or cash flows from operating activities (as a measure of liquidity), each as determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or an indicator of Cox Radio’s performance under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

     The primary source of Cox Radio’s revenues is the sale of local and national advertising broadcast on its radio stations. Historically, approximately 73% and 23% of Cox Radio’s net revenues have been generated from local and national advertising, respectively. Cox Radio’s most significant station operating expenses are employees’ salaries and benefits, commissions, programming expenses and advertising and promotional expenditures.

     Cox Radio’s revenues vary throughout the year. As is typical in the radio broadcasting industry, Cox Radio’s revenues and broadcast cash flows are typically lowest in the first quarter and higher in the second and fourth quarters. Cox Radio’s operating results in any period may be affected by the incurrence of advertising and promotional expenses that do not necessarily produce commensurate revenues until the impact of the advertising and promotion is realized in future periods.

ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS

     During the past several years, Cox Radio has actively managed its portfolio of radio stations through selected acquisitions, dispositions and exchanges, as well as through the use of local marketing agreements, or LMAs, and joint sales agreements, or JSAs. Under an LMA or a JSA, the company operating a station provides programming or sales and marketing or a combination of such services on behalf of the owner of a station.

     The following disposition activity has been entered into or consummated during the six months ended June 30, 2002 and through August 14, 2002.

     In January 2002, Cox Radio disposed of the assets of KRTR-AM (formerly KGMZ-AM) serving Honolulu, Hawaii for $0.6 million. The buyer of the station had been operating the station under an LMA since October 2001.

     In June 2002, Cox Radio disposed of the assets of KCCN-AM serving Honolulu, Hawaii for $0.8 million.

     In August 2002, Cox Radio disposed of the assets of WBWL-AM serving Jacksonville, Florida for $2.5 million.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three months ended June 30, 2002 compared to three months ended June 30, 2001

     Net revenues for the second quarter of 2002 increased $6.0 million to $113.9 million, a 5.6% increase compared to the second quarter of 2001. This increase was primarily due to increases in net revenues in almost every market as a result of improved advertising conditions and strong ratings performance.

     Station operating expenses for the second quarter of 2002 increased $3.4 million to $67.7 million, an increase of 5.3% compared to the second quarter of 2001. The increase in expenses is primarily related to higher programming and sales related costs, which are driven by ratings and revenues, respectively.

     Broadcast cash flow for the second quarter of 2002 increased $2.7 million to $46.2 million, a 6.1% increase over the second quarter of 2001, for the reasons discussed above.

     Corporate general and administrative expenses increased $0.8 million to $4.4 million primarily as a result of expenses incurred to create an in-house marketing research group, increased incentive compensation due to increased earnings in 2002, and one-time charges related to relocation of certain key personnel.

     Operating income for the second quarter of 2002 increased $16.2 million to $38.8 million, primarily as a result of the implementation of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, which disallows the amortization of goodwill and intangibles assets with indefinite lives, including FCC licenses, and for the reasons discussed above. Amortization expense for the second quarter of 2001 was $14.5 million and amortization expense for the second quarter of 2002 was less than $0.1 million.

     Interest expense during the second quarter of 2002 totaled $10.0 million, as compared to $12.5 million for the second quarter 2001, as a result of lower overall outstanding debt, as well as a decrease in the average interest rate on Cox Radio’s outstanding floating rate debt.

     Income tax expense increased to $11.2 million in the second quarter of 2002 compared to an income tax expense of $4.5 million in the second quarter of 2001, primarily as a result of increased earnings in 2002 and partially offset by a decrease in the overall effective rate as a result of implementing Financial Accounting Standards No. 142.

15


Table of Contents

     Net income for the second quarter of 2002 was $17.5 million, as compared to $5.7 million for the second quarter of 2001, primarily as a result of the reasons discussed above.

Six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to six months ended June 30, 2001

     Net revenues for the first six months of 2002 increased $5.5 million to $199.9 million, a 2.9% increase compared to the first six months of 2001. This increase was primarily due to increases in net revenues in almost every market as a result of improved advertising conditions and strong ratings performance during the second quarter of 2002.

     Station operating expenses for the first six months of 2002 increased $2.7 million to $123.7 million, an increase of 2.2% compared to the first six months of 2001. The increase in expenses is primarily related to higher programming and sales related costs, which are driven by ratings and revenues, respectively.

     Broadcast cash flow for the first six months of 2002 increased $2.9 million to $76.2 million, a 3.9% increase over the first six months of 2001, for the reasons discussed above.

     Corporate general and administrative expenses increased $1.3 million to $8.5 million primarily as a result of our enhanced regional operating management structure, one-time charges associated with a buy-out of certain programming contracts, expenses incurred to create an in-house marketing research group, increased incentive compensation related to increased earnings in 2002, and one-time charges related to relocation of certain key personnel.

     Operating income for the first six months of 2002 increased $28.0 million to $61.2 million, primarily as a result of the implementation of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 and for the reasons discussed above. Amortization expense for the first six months of 2001 was $29.3 million and amortization expense for the first six months of 2002 was less than $0.1 million.

     Interest expense during the first six months of 2002 totaled $20.2 million, as compared to $26.6 million for the first six months of 2001, as a result of lower overall outstanding debt as well as a decrease in the average interest rate on Cox Radio’s outstanding floating rate debt.

     Income taxes increased to $15.9 million in the first six months of 2002 compared to $3.3 million in the first six months of 2001, primarily as a result of increased earnings in 2002 and partially offset by a decrease in the overall effective rate as a result of implementing Financial Accounting Standards No. 142.

     Net income for the first six months of 2002 was $10.9 million, as compared to $3.5 million for the first six months of 2001, primarily as a result of the reasons discussed above and offset by a $13.9 million after-tax loss related to the cumulative effect of accounting change as a result of adopting Statement No. 142.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Cox Radio’s primary source of liquidity is cash provided by operations. Historically, cash requirements have been funded by Cox Radio’s operating activities and through borrowings under Cox Radio’s bank credit facilities. In addition, daily cash requirements have been funded through intercompany advances from Cox Enterprises under a revolving credit facility. Cox Radio’s borrowings under the Cox Enterprises revolving credit facility are typically repaid within 30 days and accrue interest at Cox Enterprises’ commercial paper rate plus 0.40%. Cox Enterprises continues to perform day-to-day cash management services for Cox Radio. Cox Radio had approximately $10.2 million in amounts due to Cox Enterprises as of June 30, 2002 and $1.1 million in amounts due from Cox Enterprises at December 31, 2001. Certain Cox Radio employees participate in the retirement plan of Cox Enterprises, and as of December 31, 2001 and June 30, 2002, the fair value of assets held in the plan exceeded the actuarial present value of benefit obligations of the plan.

     For the six months ended June 30, 2002, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2001, cash from operations increased $2.0 million to $36.1 million, primarily attributable to the net change in working capital accounts.

     On June 30, 2000, Cox Radio entered into a $350 million, five-year senior unsecured revolving credit facility and a $350 million, 364-day senior unsecured revolving credit facility, each with certain banks, including The Chase Manhattan Bank as the Administrative Agent, Bank of America, N.A. as the Syndication Agent, and Citibank, N.A. as the Documentation Agent. On June 29, 2001, the five-year facility was amended to revise the definition of interest expense and to make certain other non-material changes. On June 28, 2002, Cox Radio replaced its $350 million, 364-day senior unsecured revolving credit facility with a $150 million, 364-day senior unsecured revolving credit facility. The interest rate for each facility is, at Cox Radio’s option, the greater of the prime rate or the federal funds borrowing rate plus 0.5%; the London Interbank Offered Rate plus a spread based on the credit ratings of Cox Radio’s senior long-term debt; or the bid rate for the purchase of certificates of deposit of equal principal amount and maturity plus a spread based on the credit ratings of Cox Radio’s senior long-term debt. Under the new $150 million 364-day senior unsecured revolving credit facility, Cox Radio may also choose an interest rate index based on the federal funds rate. The $150 million 364-day facility also amended certain financial covenants and provides for a letter of credit facility. Each facility includes a commitment fee on the unused portion of the total amount available of 0.1% to 0.25% based on the credit ratings of Cox Radio’s senior long-term debt. Each facility also contains, among other provisions, specified requirements as to the ratio of debt to EBITDA and the ratio of EBITDA to interest expense. At June 30, 2002, Cox Radio was in compliance with the covenants under both facilities. Cox Radio’s credit facilities contain Events of Default based on (i) the failure to pay when due other debt, the outstanding amount of which exceeds $25 million, after the expiration of applicable grace periods and (ii) the acceleration of other debt, the outstanding amount of which exceeds $25 million. At June 30, 2002, Cox Radio had approximately $210 million of outstanding indebtedness under the five-year facility with $140 million available, and no amounts outstanding under the 364-day facility with $150 million available. The interest rate applied to amounts due under the bank credit facilities was 2.475% at June 30, 2002. At December 31, 2001, Cox Radio had approximately $255 million of outstanding indebtedness under the five-year facility with $95 million available, and no amounts outstanding under the 364-day facility with $350 million available. The interest rate applied to amounts due under the bank credit facilities was 2.755% at December 31, 2001. Since the interest rate is variable, the recorded balance of the credit facilities approximates fair value. See Note 5 for a discussion of Cox Radio’s interest rate swap agreements.

     On June 20, 2002, Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. lowered its rating on Cox Radio’s senior, unsecured, long-term debt securities from Baa2 to Baa3. Following this action, Cox Radio’s Moody’s rating remains investment grade. This action did not have a material adverse effect on Cox Radio’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

     Cox Radio has $450 million in outstanding public debt, as described below.

                     
Principal Amount   Interest Rate   Maturity

 
 
$ 100,000,000 (1)     6.25 %     2003  
$ 100,000,000 (1)     6.375 %     2005  
$ 250,000,000 (2)     6.625 %     2006  


(1)   At June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, the estimated aggregate fair values of the 6.25% notes and the 6.375% notes were approximately $194.6 million and $205.8 million, respectively, based on quoted market prices. The notes due in 2003 have been classified as long-term debt because Cox Radio has the ability and intent to refinance this obligation on a long-term basis.
 
(2)   At June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, the estimated fair value of these notes was approximately $233.8 million and $256.8 million, respectively, based on quoted market prices.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

     Cox Radio is exposed to a number of financial market risks in the ordinary course of business. Cox Radio’s primary financial market risk exposure pertains to changes in interest rates.

     Cox Radio has examined exposures to these risks and concluded that none of the exposures in these areas are material to cash flows or earnings. Cox Radio has engaged in several strategies to manage these market risks. Cox Radio’s indebtedness under its various financing arrangements creates interest rate risk. In connection with each debt issuance and as a result of continual monitoring of interest rates, Cox Radio has entered into interest rate swap agreements for purposes of managing borrowing costs.

     Pursuant to the interest rate swap agreements, Cox Radio has exchanged its floating rate interest obligations on an aggregate of $75 million in notional principal amount of debt for fixed interest rates. These agreements have an average fixed rate of 6.28% per annum and an average remaining maturity of three years. Concurrently with the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” in January 2001, Cox Radio formally designated these agreements as cash flow hedges as discussed in Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements included herein. The notional amounts with respect to these interest rate swaps do not quantify risk or represent assets or liabilities of Cox Radio, but are used in the determination of cash settlements under the interest rate swap agreements. Cox Radio is exposed to a credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the counterparties to the interest rate swap agreements. However, Cox Radio does not anticipate nonperformance by such counterparties, and no material loss would be expected in the event of the counterparties’ nonperformance. The estimated fair value of these swap agreements, based on current market rates, approximated a net payable of $4.1 million and $3.8 million at June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively. The fair value of the swap agreements at June 30, 2002 is included in other current liabilities and other long-term liabilities according to the respective maturity dates of the swaps.

     The determination of the estimated fair value of Cox Radio’s fixed rate debt is subject to the effects of interest rate risk. The estimated fair value of the fixed-rate debt instruments at June 30, 2002 was $428.4 million, compared to a carrying amount of $449.5 million. The estimated fair value of Cox Radio’s fixed-rate debt instruments at December 31, 2001 was $462.6 million, compared to a carrying amount of $449.5 million. The effect of a hypothetical one percentage point decrease in interest rates would be to increase the estimated fair value of the fixed-rate debt instruments from $428.4 million to $439.2 million at June 30, 2002 and from $462.6 million to $476.5 million at December 31, 2001.

     The estimated fair values of debt instruments are based on discounted cash flow analyses using Cox Radio’s borrowing rate for similar types of borrowing arrangements and dealer quotations. The Cox Radio revolving credit facilities and Cox Enterprises’ borrowings bear interest based on current market rates and, thus, approximate fair value. Cox Radio is exposed to interest rate volatility with respect to the foregoing variable rate debt instruments.

     With respect to financial instruments, Cox Radio has estimated the fair values of such instruments using available market information and valuation methodologies that it believes to be appropriate. Considerable judgment, however, is required in interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that Cox Radio would realize or pay in a current market transaction.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

     On June 13, 2001, Cox Radio was named as defendant in a putative class action suit filed in an amended complaint in the state court in Fulton County, Georgia, alleging violations of the Federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act. The complaint seeks statutory damages in the amount of $1,500 plus attorneys’ fees, on behalf of each person “throughout the State of Georgia” who received an unsolicited pre-recorded telephone message in October 1999 delivering an “advertisement” from a Cox Radio radio station. On October 30, 2001, the parties entered into a consent agreement staying all proceedings through April 2002. On May 24, 2002, the court granted the parties’ joint request for a further stay of all proceedings until the earlier of either six months, or a ruling by the Georgia Court of Appeals in a similar action pending against a third-party radio broadcast company. Cox Radio intends to defend this action vigorously. The outcome of this matter cannot be predicted at this time.

     Cox Radio and its controlling shareholder, Cox Broadcasting, Inc., have been sued in Georgia federal court by broadcast station broker Force Communications for breach of contract and other theories involving a failure to pay the broker a commission allegedly due on two transactions. The suit seeks contract damages in excess of $5 million plus interest, costs, expenses and attorneys’ fees. Following completion of discovery, the parties filed cross-motions for summary judgment and on July 1, 2002, the court granted defendants’ motion for summary judgment and denied Force Communications’ cross-motion for partial summary judgment. On July 5, 2002, the court entered judgment in favor of Cox Radio and Cox Broadcasting, Inc. on all counts. On July 31, 2002, Force Communications filed a notice of appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit from the order entering summary judgment in favor of Cox Radio and Cox Broadcasting, Inc. and from the entry of judgment. Cox Radio and Cox Broadcasting, Inc. intend to defend this matter vigorously on appeal. The outcome of this matter cannot be predicted at this time.

     Cox Radio is a party to various other legal proceedings that are ordinary and incidental to its business. Management does not expect that any of these legal proceedings currently pending will have a material adverse impact on Cox Radio’s consolidated financial position, consolidated results of operations or cash flows.

(c) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the date that is five Business Days prior to the Termination Date. (d) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the Issuing Bank or the Banks, the Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Bank, and each Bank hereby acquires from the Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Bank's Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Bank hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Bank, such Bank's Applicable Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by the Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Company on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Company for any reason. Each Bank acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. (e) Reimbursement. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Company shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date that such LC Disbursement is made, if the Company shall have received notice of such LC Disbursement prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on such date, or, if such notice has not been received by the Company prior to such time on such date, then not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on (i) the Business Day that the Company receives such notice, if such notice is received prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on 8 the day of receipt, or (ii) the Business Day immediately following the day that the Company receives such notice, if such notice is not received prior to such time on the day of receipt; provided that, if such LC Disbursement is not less than the minimum borrowing amount, the Company may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request that such payment be financed with an Alternate Base Rate Loan or Federal Funds Rate Loan in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the Company's obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Alternate Base Rate Loan or Federal Funds Rate Loan. If the Company fails to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Bank of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Company in respect thereof and such Bank's Applicable Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Bank shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Applicable Percentage of the LC Disbursement not reimbursed by the Company, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.01 with respect to Loans made by such Bank (and Section 2.01 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Banks), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Banks. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Company pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Banks have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank, then to such Banks and the Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Bank pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of Alternate Base Rate Loans or Federal Funds Rate Loan as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Company of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement. (f) Obligations Absolute. The Company's obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of 9 Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Company's obligations hereunder. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Banks, the Issuing Bank, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Issuing Bank from liability to the Company to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Company to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Company that are caused by the Issuing Bank's failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or wilful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), the Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank may, at its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit. 10 (g) Disbursement Procedures. The Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. The Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Company by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such demand for payment and whether the Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Company of its obligation to reimburse the Issuing Bank and the Banks with respect to any such LC Disbursement. (h) Interim Interest. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the Company shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Company reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the Default Rate. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Bank pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to reimburse any Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Bank to the extent of such payment. (i) Replacement of the Issuing Bank. The Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Company, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Banks of any such replacement of the Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Company shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank. From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the replaced Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term "Issuing Bank" shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement of the Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of the Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such 11 replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit. (j) Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Company receives notice from the Administrative Agent (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Banks with LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the Company shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Banks, an amount in cash equal to the LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Company described in Section 10.11 or 10.12. Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the Company under this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the Company's risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Company for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Banks with LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Company under this Agreement. If the Company is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Company within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived. 12 (k) Amendment to Article III.
