2. ACQUISITIONS:
 
On December 31, 2012, we increased our ownership interest in Reach Media from approximately 53.5% to 80% by repurchasing the shares of certain minority shareholders in Reach Media. Immediately after increasing our ownership in Reach Media, we consolidated our syndication operations within Reach Media to leverage that platform to create the leading syndicated radio network targeted to the African-American audience. In connection with the consolidation, we shifted our syndicated programming sales to an internal sales force operating out of Reach Media.
 
As of July 18, 2012, we entered into an LMA with Gaffney Broadcasting, Incorporated (“Gaffney”). Pursuant to the LMA, beginning as of August 27, 2012, we are permitted to broadcast programs produced, owned or acquired by Radio One on Gaffney’s South Carolina radio station, WOSF-FM (previously WNOW-FM). We are required to pay certain operating costs of WOSF-FM, and in exchange we will retain all revenues from the sale of the advertising within the programming we provide. The LMA continues for 18 months or until consummation of an acquisition transaction under a stock purchase agreement (the “SPA”) with the stockholders of Gaffney. The closing of the acquisition transaction under the SPA is subject to certain conditions including but not limited to approval by the Federal Communications Commission (the “FCC”) of the transfer of Gaffney’s FCC licenses.
 
On February 25, 2011, TV One completed a privately placed debt offering of $119 million (the “Redemption Financing”). The Redemption Financing is structured as senior secured notes bearing a 10% coupon and due in 2016. Subsequently, on February 28, 2011, TV One utilized $82.4 million of the Redemption Financing to repurchase 15.4% of its outstanding membership interests from certain of its financial investors and 2.0% of its outstanding membership interests held by TV One management (representing approximately 50% of interests held by management). Beginning on April 14, 2011, the Company began to account for TV One on a consolidated basis after having executed an amendment to the TV One operating agreement with the remaining members of TV One concerning certain governance issues. The Company’s purchase price allocation consisted of approximately $61.2 million to current assets, $39.0 million to launch assets, $2.4 million to fixed assets, $204.1 million to indefinite-lived intangibles (goodwill and TV One brand), $287.3 million to definite-lived intangibles (content assets, acquired advertising contracts, advertiser relationships, affiliation agreements, etc.), $225.7 million to liabilities (including the $119.0 million in debt discussed above) and $203.0 million in noncontrolling interests. In accordance with accounting standards applicable to business combinations, the Company recorded the assets and liabilities of TV One at fair value as of April 14, 2011. The Company recognized an after-tax gain of approximately $146.9 million during the second quarter of 2011 associated with the transaction. The gain is computed as the difference between the carrying value of the Company’s investment in TV One prior to date of consolidation and the fair value of Radio One’s interest in TV One as of the consolidation date. Finally, on April 25, 2011, TV One utilized the balance of the Redemption Financing to repurchase 12.4% of its outstanding membership interests from an investor. These redemptions by TV One increased Radio One’s ownership interest in TV One from 36.8% to approximately 50.9% as of April 25, 2011. Since April 2011, our ownership in TV One increased to approximately 51.1% after redemptions of certain management interests. From April 14, 2011 through December 31, 2012, the Company recognized approximately $217.2 million of revenue and approximately $5.2 million of net loss related to TV One operations. The net loss of TV One since consolidation includes approximately $48.7 million of depreciation and amortization expense as well as approximately $20.8 million of interest expense.
 
The following unaudited pro forma summary presents consolidated information of the Company as if the consolidation of TV One had occurred on January 1, 2010. The pro forma financial information gives effect to the Company’s consolidation of TV One by the application of the pro forma adjustments to the historical consolidated financial statements of the Company. Such unaudited pro forma financial information is based on the historical financial statements of the Company and TV One and certain adjustments, which the Company believes to be reasonable based on current available information, to give effect to these transactions.
 
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information does not purport to represent what the Company’s results of operations actually would have been if the consolidation of TV One had occurred on January 1, 2010, or what such results will be for any future periods. The actual results in the periods following the consolidation date may differ significantly from that reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial data for a number of reasons including, but not limited to, differences between the assumptions used to prepare the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial data and the actual amounts.
 
Unaudited adjustments have been made to adjust the results of TV One to reflect additional amortization expense that would have been incurred assuming the fair value adjustments to intangible assets as well as additional interest expense on the debt assumed had been applied from January 1, 2010, as well as additional pro forma adjustments, to give effect to these transactions occurring on January 1, 2010.
