See accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements 3 BEASLEY BROADCAST GROUP, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (a) Interim Financial Statements In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements include all adjustments deemed necessary to summarize fairly and reflect the financial position and results of operations of Beasley Broadcast Group, Inc. ("the Company") for the interim periods presented. Results of the first quarter of 2001 are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto contained on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000. (b) Corporate Reorganization Prior to February 11, 2000, the Company's radio stations were operated through a series of subchapter S corporations, partnerships and limited liability companies related to one another through common ownership and control. These subchapter S corporations, partnerships and limited liability companies were collectively known as Beasley FM Acquisition Corp. and related companies ("BFMA") through February 10, 2000. The accompanying financial statements include the results of operations of BFMA from January 1, 2000 to February 10, 2000. The Company completed an initial public offering of common stock and the corporate reorganization on February 11, 2000. Immediately prior to the initial public offering, pursuant to the reorganization, affiliates of BFMA contributed their equity interests in those entities to the Company, a newly formed holding company, in exchange for common stock. Immediately after these transactions, the Company contributed the capital stock and partnership interests acquired to Beasley Mezzanine Holdings, LLC ("BMH") and BMH became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. All S corporation elections were terminated and the resulting entities became C corporations. The reorganization and contribution of equity interests was accounted for in a manner similar to a pooling of interests as to the majority owners, and as an acquisition of minority interest using the purchase method of accounting. (c) Derivative Financial Instruments The Company has only limited involvement with derivative financial instruments and does not use them for trading purposes. The Company uses interest rate collar and swap agreements to specifically hedge against the potential impact of increases in interest rates on its credit facility. The Company records changes in fair value of its derivative financial instruments and interest differentials as adjustments to interest expense in the period they occur. (d) Revenue Recognition Revenue is recognized as advertising air time is broadcast and is net of advertising agency commissions. (e) Income Taxes Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. 4 BEASLEY BROADCAST GROUP, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued) (f) Earnings per Share Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if options or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock and were not anti-dilutive. (g) Stock-Based Compensation Stock-based compensation is measured and recognized in accordance with APB Opinion 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" and disclosed in accordance with SFAS 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." (h) Accounting Change Effective January 1, 2001, the Company adopted SFAS 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." This statement establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. In accordance with the transition provisions of SFAS 133, the Company recorded an asset of $66,000 to recognize its derivatives at fair value and the cumulative effect of the accounting change, as of January 1, 2001, in the statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2001. The cumulative effect of the change, net of income tax effect, decreased the net loss $41,000 and did not change the net loss per share. (i) Recent Accounting Pronouncements In September 2000, the FASB issued SFAS 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities. SFAS 140 provides accounting and reporting standards for transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities. SFAS 140 replaces SFAS 125 and is effective for transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments occurring after March 31, 2001. SFAS 140 is effective for recognition and reclassification of collateral and for disclosures relating to securitization transactions and collateral for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2000. (2) Acquisitions (a) Current Acquisitions As of February 1, 2001, the Company acquired all of the outstanding common stock of Centennial Broadcasting Nevada, Inc. and all of the membership interests in Centennial Broadcasting, LLC for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $116.3 million, which included a working capital adjustment of approximately $2.8 million. Centennial Broadcasting Nevada, Inc. owns approximately 18.5% of the membership interests in Centennial Broadcasting, LLC. Centennial Broadcasting, LLC owns the radio stations KJUL-FM, KSTJ-FM and KKLZ-FM in Las Vegas, Nevada and WBYU-AM, WRNO-FM and KMEZ-FM in New Orleans, Louisiana. This acquisition was partially funded by surplus working capital and partially financed through the Company's credit facility. The acquisition was accounted for by the purchase method of accounting. The aggregate purchase price for the current acquisitions was allocated as follows: Accounts receivable, net.................................... $ 2,233,223 Prepaid expenses and other.................................. 730,518 Property and equipment...................................... 4,076,171 FCC broadcasting licenses................................... 109,278,829 Goodwill.................................................... 145,000 Other assets................................................ 6,625 Accounts payable............................................

(c) Subsequent Acquisitions On April 2, 2001, the Company acquired the assets of WKXC-FM and WSLT-FM in the Augusta market for approximately $12.0 million. This acquisition was partially funded by surplus working capital and partially financed through the Company's credit facility. The acquisition was accounted for by the purchase method of accounting. 6 BEASLEY BROADCAST GROUP, INC.

(65,720,067) (70,784,049) ------------ ------------ $164,893,584 $272,999,949 ============ ============
(4) Other Investments In December 1999, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase 750,000 shares of preferred stock of eTour, Inc. in exchange for $3.0 million of advertising air time. The Company earned these shares as advertisements were placed over the term of the agreement. For the three months ended March 31, 2001, eTour placed advertising air time totaling approximately $362,000 and for the three months ended March 31, 2001, the Company earned approximately 91,000 shares. The shares contain restrictions that generally limit the Company's ability to sell or otherwise dispose of them. The investment was recorded using the cost method of accounting. On May 7, 2001, the Company received a letter from the management of eTour stating that eTour is in the process of winding down. Based on this information, the Company stopped placement of any further advertising air time for eTour and recorded a loss on investment of approximately $1.2 million, the recorded cost of the 308,952 shares earned as of March 31, 2001. (5) Long-Term Debt As of March 31, 2001, the maximum commitment under the credit facility is $300.0 million and the outstanding balance is $215.7 million. The credit facility bears interest at either the base rate or LIBOR plus a margin that is determined by the Company's debt to cash flow ratio. The base rate is equal to the higher of the prime rate or the overnight federal funds effective rate plus 0.5%. As of December 31, 2000 and March 31, 2001, the credit facility carried interest at an average rate of 7.9375% and 7.6875%, respectively. Interest is generally payable monthly through maturity on June 30, 2008. The scheduled reductions in the amount available under the credit facility may require principal repayments if the outstanding balance at that time exceeds the new maximum amount available under the credit facility. The Company has entered into interest rate hedge agreements as discussed in note 8. The credit agreement requires the Company to maintain certain financial ratios and includes restrictive covenants. The restrictive covenants prohibit the payment of dividends. The loans are secured by substantially all assets of the Company. On January 14, 2000, the Company executed a $3 million promissory note in favor of FindWhat.com as consideration for the purchase of 600,000 shares of common stock. The note bears interest at 5.73% per annum and matures on January 14, 2002. All outstanding principal and accrued interest is due at maturity, however the Company may repay the note in full with an equivalent amount of advertising air time as specified in the loan agreement and a related advertising agreement with FindWhat.com. As of March 31, 2001, the outstanding principal amount has been reduced by approximately $2,297,000 through the placement of advertising air time. The note is guaranteed by BFMA. 7 BEASLEY BROADCAST GROUP, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued) (6) Related Party Transactions The Company leases certain office space from its principal stockholder, George G. Beasley. For the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 2001, rental expense paid to Mr. Beasley was approximately $24,000 and $25,000, respectively. The Company leases certain radio towers from Beasley Family Towers, Inc. ("BFT"). The lease agreements expire on December 28, 2020. For the three months ended March 31, 2001, rental expense paid to BFT was approximately $117,000. Notes receivable from BFT are due in monthly payments, including interest at 6.77%. The notes mature on December 28, 2020. For the three months ended March 31, 2001, interest income on the notes receivable from BFT was approximately $85,000. (7) Commitments and Contingencies In 1997, the Company entered into contracts for the radio broadcast rights relating to the Miami Dolphins, Florida Marlins and Florida Panthers sports franchises. These contracts grant WQAM-AM the exclusive, English language rights for live radio broadcasts of the sporting events of these franchises for a five-year term that began in 1997. The contracts require the Company to pay certain fees and to provide commercial advertising and other considerations. For the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 2001, the contract expense calculated on a straight-line basis and other direct expenses exceeded related revenues by $370,000 and $513,000, respectively. Unless the Company is able to generate significantly more revenues under these contracts in future periods, the contracts are likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations on a going-forward basis. However, in light of the uncertainty regarding future revenues, the amount of any future loss cannot be determined at this time. In the normal course of business, the Company is party to various legal matters. The ultimate disposition of these matters will not, in management's judgment, have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position. (8) Derivative Financial Instruments The Company uses interest rate collar and swap agreements to hedge against the potential impact of increases in interest rates on the credit facility. For the three months ended March 31, 2000, the Company received additional interest of approximately $38,000 under a swap agreement. For the three months ended March 31, 2001, the Company did not receive or pay any additional interest under its collar agreements. The amount received or paid is based on the differential between the specified rates of the collar agreements and the variable interest rate of the credit facility. As of March 31, 2001, the Company's collar agreements are summarized in the following chart:
Estimated Notional Expiration Fair Agreement Amount Floor Cap Date Value --------- ----------- ----- ---- ------------- --------- Interest rate collar $20,000,000 6.69% 8% May 2002 $(393,000) Interest rate collar $20,000,000 5.45% 7.5% November 2002 (174,000) Interest rate collar $20,000,000 5.75% 7.35% November 2002 (265,000) Interest rate collar $55,000,000 4.99% 7% October 2003 (139,000)

(11) Equity Plan During the three months ended March 31, 2001, the Company granted 85,000 stock options with an exercise price per share equal to the closing stock price on the respective grant dates. The issued stock options have ten-year terms and generally vest ratably and become fully exercisable after a period of three to four years from the date of grant, however some contain performance-related provisions that may delay vesting beyond four years. During the three months ended March 31, 2001, no options were exercised and 15,000 options were forfeited. As of March 31, 2001, the number of options exercisable was 782,565 and the weighted-average exercise price of those options was $15.42. 10 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS You should read the following discussion together with the financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this report. The results discussed below are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected in any future periods. Certain matters discussed herein are forward-looking statements. Certain, but not necessarily all, of such forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, such as "believes," "expects," "may," "will," "should," "estimates," or "anticipates," or the negative thereof or other variations thereof or comparable terminology. All forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause our actual transactions, results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future transactions, results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward- looking statements. Although we believe the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, we can give no assurance that our expectations will be attained or that any deviations will not be material. Unless required by law, we undertake no obligation to publicly release the result of any revisions to these forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect any future events or circumstances. General A radio broadcasting company derives its revenues primarily from the sale of broadcasting time to local and national advertisers. The advertising rates that a radio station is able to charge and the number of advertisements that can be broadcast without jeopardizing listener levels largely determine those revenues. Advertising rates are primarily based on three factors: . a radio station's audience share in the demographic groups targeted by advertisers, as measured principally by quarterly reports issued by The Arbitron Ratings Company; . the number of radio stations in the market competing for the same demographic groups; and . the supply of and demand for radio advertising time. Several factors may adversely affect a radio broadcasting company's performance in any given period. In the radio broadcasting industry, seasonal revenue fluctuations are common and are due primarily to variations in advertising expenditures by local and national advertisers. Typically, revenues are lowest in the first calendar quarter of the year. We generally incur advertising and promotional expenses to increase listenership and Arbitron ratings. However, because Arbitron reports ratings quarterly in most of our markets, any increased ratings, and therefore increased advertising revenues, tend to lag behind the incurrence of advertising and promotional spending. In the broadcasting industry, radio stations often utilize trade or barter agreements to reduce expenses by exchanging advertising time for goods or services. In order to maximize cash revenue from our spot inventory, we minimize our use of trade agreements and during the five years prior to 2000 have held barter revenues under 5% of our gross revenues and barter related broadcast cash flow under 3% of our broadcast cash flow. In 2000, barter revenues increased as a percentage of our gross revenues and barter related broadcast cash flow increased as a percentage of our broadcast cash flow due to our investments in eTour, Inc. and FindWhat.com. We expect barter revenues and related broadcast cash flow to continue at a higher percentage of our gross revenues and broadcast cash flow during 2001. We calculate same station results by comparing the performance of radio stations at the end of a relevant period to the performance of those same stations in the prior year's corresponding period, including the effect of barter revenues and expenses. These results exclude the six stations that were acquired during the first quarter of 2001 and one station that changed formats during the fourth quarter of 2000. Broadcast cash flow consists of operating income before corporate general and administrative expenses, equity appreciation rights, and depreciation and amortization and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other 11 companies. Same station broadcast cash flow is the broadcast cash flow of the radio stations included in our same station calculations. Recent Events On April 2, 2001, we acquired two radio stations in the Augusta market for approximately $12.0 million. This acquisition was partially funded by surplus working capital and partially financed through our credit facility. On May 7, 2001, we received a letter from the management of eTour stating that eTour is in the process of winding down. Based on this information, we stopped placement of any further advertising air time for eTour and recorded a loss on investment of approximately $1.2 million, the recorded cost of the 308,952 shares earned as of March 31, 2001. Results of Operations Several factors affected our results of operations in the three months ended March 31, 2000 that did not affect the corresponding period of the current year. First, we redeemed, for cash, equity appreciation rights previously granted to two of our station managers, as we do not believe this form of compensation is well-suited to public companies. In connection with this redemption, we recorded an expense of approximately $1.2 million in the first quarter of 2000. Second, in connection with our reorganization in February 2000, our net stockholders' equity was reduced by approximately $27.6 million to establish the net deferred tax liability resulting from the termination of our subchapter S status. As of February 1, 2001, we purchased companies owning three FM radio stations in the Las Vegas market and two FM and one AM radio stations in the New Orleans market for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $116.3 million, which included a working capital adjustment of approximately $2.8 million. This acquisition contributed to higher net revenues and station operating expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2001. In 1997, the Company entered into contracts for the radio broadcast rights relating to the Miami Dolphins, Florida Marlins and Florida Panthers sports franchises. These contracts grant WQAM-AM the exclusive, English language rights for live radio broadcasts of the sporting events of these franchises for a five-year term that began in 1997. The contracts require the Company to pay certain fees and to provide commercial advertising and other considerations. For the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 2001, the contract expense calculated on a straight-line basis and other direct expenses exceeded related revenues by $370,000 and $513,000, respectively. Unless the Company is able to generate significantly more revenues under these contracts in future periods, the contracts are likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations on a going-forward basis. However, in light of the uncertainty regarding future revenues, the amount of any future loss cannot be determined at this time. During the first quarter of 2001, we experienced a softer advertising environment due to slowing economic conditions. We expect this environment to continue into the second quarter and possibly into the second half of 2001. In response to an expected reduction in net revenues, we are monitoring our non- strategic expenses to minimize the impact on our operating results. Three Month Period ended March 31, 2001 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2000 Net Revenue. Net revenue increased 13.4% to $25.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001 from $22.8 million for three months ended March 31, 2000. The increase was primarily due to our radio station acquisitions in the Miami-Ft. Lauderdale and West Palm Beach markets in the second quarter of 2000 and in the Las Vegas and New Orleans markets in the first quarter of 2001. The increase was partially offset by lower revenues at WPTP in the Philadelphia market due to a format change during the fourth quarter of 2000. On a same station basis, net revenues increased 5.2% to $22.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001 from $21.5 million for three months ended March 31, 2000. 12 Station Operating Expenses. Station operating expenses increased 22.2% to $19.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001 from $15.8 million for three months ended March 31, 2000. The increase was primarily due to our radio station acquisitions in the Miami-Ft. Lauderdale and West Palm Beach markets in the second quarter of 2000 and in the Las Vegas and New Orleans markets in the first quarter of 2001. In addition, promotions budgets were larger at most of our radio stations to help generate growth in net revenues. On a same station basis, station operating expenses increased 8.5% to $15.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001 from $14.3 million for three months ended March 31, 2000. Broadcast Cash Flow. Broadcast cash flow decreased 6.6% to $6.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001 from $6.9 million for three months ended March 31, 2000. The decrease was primarily due to lower revenues associated with the format change at WPTP in the Philadelphia market during the fourth quarter of 2000. The decrease was partially offset by additional broadcast cash flow associated with our radio station acquisitions in the Miami-Ft. Lauderdale and West Palm Beach markets in the second quarter of 2000 and in the Las Vegas and New Orleans markets during the first quarter of 2001. On a same station basis, broadcast cash flow decreased 1.4% to $7.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001 from $7.2 million for three months ended March 31, 2000. Corporate General and Administrative Expenses. Corporate general and administrative expenses increased 13.8% to $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001 from $1.0 million for three months ended March 31, 2000. The increase was primarily due to higher general and administrative expenses associated with our radio station acquisitions in the Las Vegas and New Orleans markets during the first quarter of 2001. In addition, the increase is due to our operating as a public company for the entire first quarter of 2001 as compared to a partial first quarter in 2000. Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased 51.5% to $6.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001 from $4.0 million for three months ended March 31, 2000. The increase was primarily due to additional amortization and depreciation expense associated with our radio station acquisitions in the Miami-Ft. Lauderdale and West Palm Beach markets in the second quarter of 2000 and in the Las Vegas and New Orleans markets in the first quarter of 2001. Interest Expense. Interest expense increased 39.1% to $3.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001 from $2.7 million for three months ended March 31, 2000. The increase was primarily due to financing the radio station acquisitions in the Miami-Ft. Lauderdale and West Palm Beach markets in the second quarter of 2000 and in the Las Vegas and New Orleans markets in the first quarter of 2001 with draws from our credit facility. The increase was partially offset by a decrease in interest rates on our credit facility. Net Loss. Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2001 was $2.6 million compared to a net loss of $29.4 million for three months ended March 31, 2000. The change was primarily due the establishment of a $27.6 million net deferred tax liability upon conversion from a series of subchapter S corporations to a series of subchapter C corporations as a result of the initial public offering and corporate reorganization in 2000. In 2000, the net loss was also increased by the redemption of equity appreciation rights for $1.2 million. In 2001, the net loss was increased by a $1.2 million loss on investment and a $971,000 loss in the fair value of our derivative financial instruments due to the adoption of SFAS 133 and decreased by a $2.6 million gain on a previously written off related party receivable. Liquidity and Capital Resources Overview. Historically, we have used a significant portion of our liquidity to consummate acquisitions. These acquisitions have been funded from one or a combination of the following sources: . our credit facility; . disposing of radio stations in transactions which are intended to qualify as like-kind exchanges under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code; . internally-generated cash flow; and . advances to us from George G. Beasley, members of his family and affiliated entities. 13 Other liquidity needs have been for debt service, working capital, distributions to equity holders and general corporate purposes, including capital expenditures. In the future, we expect that our principal liquidity requirements will be for working capital and general corporate purposes, including acquisitions of additional radio stations. We expect to finance future acquisitions through a combination of bank borrowings, internally generated funds and our stock. As of March 31, 2001, we held $8.6 million in cash and cash equivalents and had $84.3 million in availability under our credit facility. On April 2, 2001, we used surplus working capital and our credit facility to finance an acquisition of two radio stations in the Augusta market with an aggregate price of $12.0 million. We believe that the cash available from operations as well as the availability from our credit facility should be sufficient to permit us to meet our financial obligations for at least the next twelve months. Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Operating Activities. Net cash provided by operating activities was $8.8 million and $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The increase was primarily due to a reduction in non-cash working capital during the first quarter of 2001 compared to an increase in non-cash working capital during the first quarter of 2000. Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities was $119.4 million and $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The change is primarily due to the $116.3 million acquisition of three radio stations in Las Vegas market and three stations in the New Orleans market in 2001 compared to the $10 million acquisition of two radio stations in the Atlanta market in 2000. In addition, net cash used in investing activities was also increased in 2001 by payments for a signal upgrade. Net cash used in 2000 was offset by the repayment of loans to the former S corporation stockholders and increased by repayment of notes receivable from related parties and stockholders. Net Cash Provided by (Used in) by Financing Activities. Net cash provided by financing activities was $113.5 million and $92,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The change is primarily due to financing the $116.3 million acquisition of three radio stations in the Las Vegas market and three stations in the New Orleans market in 2001. In 2000, net cash was increased by the initial public offering proceeds, less associated costs, which were used to repay $58.5 million of the credit facility and all outstanding notes payable to related parties. Net cash was also decreased by distributions to the former S corporation stockholders and the $10 million acquisition of two radio stations in the Atlanta market in 2000. Credit facility. As of March 31, 2001, the maximum commitment under our credit facility was $300.0 million. The credit facility consists of $150.0 million revolving credit loan and a $150.0 million term loan. The revolving credit loan includes a $50.0 million sub-limit for letters of credit. The loans bear interest at either the base rate or LIBOR plus a margin that is determined by the Company's debt to cash flow ratio. The base rate is equal to the higher of the prime rate or the overnight federal funds effective rate plus 0.5%. Interest is generally payable monthly through maturity on June 30, 2008. The scheduled reductions in the amount available under the credit facility may require principal repayments if the outstanding balance at that time exceeds the new maximum available amount under the credit facility. The credit agreement requires the Company to maintain certain financial ratios and includes restrictive covenants. The loans are secured by substantially all assets of the Company. 14 As of March 31, 2001, the scheduled reductions of the maximum commitment of the credit facility for the next five fiscal years and thereafter are as follows:
Revolving Total Credit Credit Loan Term Loan Facility ------------ ------------ ------------ 2002.................................. $ -- $ 15,000,000 $ 15,000,000 2003.................................. -- 22,500,000 22,500,000 2004.................................. 15,000,000 22,500,000 37,500,000 2005.................................. 22,500,000 30,000,000 52,500,000 Thereafter............................ 112,500,000 60,000,000 172,500,000 ------------ ------------ ------------ Total............................... $150,000,000 $150,000,000 $300,000,000 ============ ============ ============
As of March 31, 2001, we had an outstanding balance under our credit facility of approximately $215.7 million and availability under our credit facility of $84.3 million for future acquisitions and other corporate purposes. These amounts do not give effect to the recently completed acquisitions in the Augusta market. As of March 31, 2001, the weighted average annual interest rate applicable to our credit facility was approximately 7.6875%. The credit facility expires on June 30, 2008. We must pay a quarterly unused commitment fee, which is based upon our total leverage to operating cash flow ratio and ranges from 0.25% to 0.375% of the unused portion of the maximum commitment. If the unused portion exceeds 50% of the maximum commitment the fee is increased by 0.375%. For the three months ended March 31, 2001, our unused commitment fee was approximately $114,000. We are required to satisfy financial covenants, which require us to maintain specified financial ratios and to comply with financial tests, such as ratios for maximum total leverage, minimum interest coverage and minimum fixed charges. As of March 31, 2001, we were in compliance with all applicable financial covenants. These financial covenants include: . Maximum Total Leverage Test. From closing through March 31, 2001, our total debt as of the last day of each fiscal quarter must not exceed 6.75 times our operating cash flow for the four quarters ending on that day. For the period from April 1, 2001 through September 30, 2001, the required maximum ratio is 6.5 times. For the period from October 1, 2001 through March 31, 2002, the required maximum ratio is 6.25 times. For the period from April 1, 2002 through December 31, 2002, the required maximum ratio is 6.0 times. For each twelve-month period after December 31, 2002, the maximum ratio will decrease by 0.5 times. For all periods after January 1, 2006, the maximum ratio is 4.0 times. . Minimum Interest Coverage Test. From closing through June 30, 2001, our operating cash flow for the four quarters ending on the last day of each fiscal quarter must not be less than 1.75 times the amount of our interest expense. For all periods after July 1, 2001, the minimum ratio is 2.0 times. . Minimum Fixed Charges Test. Our operating cash flow for any four consecutive quarters must not be less than 1.10 times the amount of our fixed charges. The new credit facility also prohibits us from paying cash dividends and restricts our ability to make other distributions with respect to our capital stock. The credit facility also contains other customary restrictive covenants. These covenants limit our ability to: . incur additional indebtedness and liens; . enter into certain investments or joint ventures; . consolidate, merge or effect asset sales; . make overhead expenditures; 15 . enter sale and lease-back transactions; . sell or discount accounts receivable; . enter into transactions with affiliates or stockholders; . sell, assign, pledge, encumber or dispose of capital stock; or . change the nature of our business. Recent Pronouncements In September 2000, the FASB issued SFAS 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities. SFAS 140 provides accounting and reporting standards for transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities. SFAS 140 replaces SFAS 125 and is effective for transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments occurring after March 31, 2001. SFAS 140 is effective for recognition and reclassification of collateral and for disclosures relating to securitization transactions and collateral for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2000. ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK. Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rate and commodity prices. Our primary exposure to market risk is interest rate risk associated with our credit facility. Amounts borrowed under the credit facility incur interest at the London Interbank Offered Rate, or LIBOR, plus additional basis points depending on the outstanding principal balance under the credit facility. As of March 31, 2001, $215.7 million was outstanding under our credit facility. We evaluate our exposure to interest rate risk by monitoring changes in interest rates in the market place. To manage interest rate risk associated with our credit agreement, we have entered into several interest rate collar agreements. An interest rate collar is the combined purchase and sale of an interest rate cap and an interest rate floor so as to keep interest rate exposure within a defined range. We have purchased four interest rate collars. Under these agreements, our base LIBOR cannot exceed the cap interest rate and our base LIBOR cannot fall below our floor interest rate. Notional amounts are used to calculate the contractual payments to be exchanged under the contract. As of December 31, 2000 and March 31, 2001, the notional amount upon maturity of these collar agreements is approximately $100.0 million and $115.0 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2001, our collar agreements are summarized in the following chart:
Estimated Notional Expiration Fair Agreement Amount Floor Cap Date Value --------- ----------- ----- ----- ------------- --------- Interest rate collar $20,000,000 6.69% 8% May 2002 $(393,000) Interest rate collar $20,000,000 5.45% 7.5% November 2002 (174,000) Interest rate collar $20,000,000 5.75% 7.35% November 2002 (265,000) Interest rate collar $55,000,000 4.99% 7% October 2003 (139,000)
16 PART II OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS. On December 29, 1998, we filed a lawsuit in the Circuit Court of the Eleventh Judicial Circuit, Miami-Dade County, against the Florida Marlins Inc., Florida Marlins Baseball Team, Ltd., and Front Row Communications for breach of contract and other related claims. The lawsuit is based on actions taken by the Florida Marlins major league baseball team to trade or release key players of the Marlins after the 1997 season, thereby transforming the Marlins into a non- competitive team. On January 14, 2000, the court dismissed the Marlins' motion for summary judgment. On May 22, 1999, the Marlins countersued for breach of contract. On January 10, 2001, we settled this matter with the Marlins with no material impact on the financial statements. We currently and from time to time are involved in litigation incidental to the conduct of our business, but we are not a party to any lawsuit or proceeding which, in the opinion of management, is likely to have a material adverse effect on us.
