See accompanying notes. 6 13 WNAX (a division of Roy H. Park Broadcasting of the Midwest, Inc.) Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 1995 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES NATURE OF BUSINESS WNAX is an AM and FM radio station which broadcasts from Yankton, South Dakota. The station serves the South Dakota, Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota, and North Dakota markets. OWNERSHIP AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION WNAX is a division of Roy H. Park Broadcasting of the Midwest, Inc. which is a subsidiary of Park Broadcasting, Inc. (Park) and is not a separate legal entity. The intercompany account contains all activity with Park, and since May 11, 1995, bears interest at approximately 5-6%. Park Broadcasting, Inc. is a subsidiary of Park Communications, Inc. On May 11, 1995, Park Communications, Inc., formerly a public company, was acquired by Park Acquisition Company through a 100% stock purchase, and became a private company. Park Broadcasting, Inc. maintained control of WNAX after the acquisition. The acquisition by Park Acquisition Company resulted in a change in control of WNAX and Park Acquisition has elected to allocate the purchase price to the operations of the entities acquired, including WNAX. The accompanying financial statements include the operations of WNAX from the date of purchase (May 11, 1995) through December 31, 1995, as well as the predecessor's operations from January 1, 1995 through May 10, 1995. The combined operations and cash flows for the twelve month period ended December 31, 1995, are shown in the financial statements for presentation purposes only and are not intended to represent the results of operations or cash flows in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. 7 14 WNAX (a division of Roy H. Park Broadcasting of the Midwest, Inc.) Notes to Financial Statements 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) The purchase accounting adjustment allocated to WNAX based on the estimated fair value of assets and liabilities was as follows: Property and equipment $ 459,389 Intangible assets 8,811,650 Intercompany account (1,611,561) Allocated debt (8,527,629) Deferred taxes (2,256,259) Retained earnings 3,124,410 The debt allocation was based on the net assets of WNAX with interest at 13.5%, 10.5% payable semiannually, with the remainder due when the debt was retired. The original term of the debt was 20 years with no principal due until the third year. The debt was secured by the net assets of WNAX and was eliminated in 1996 increasing the intercompany account payable. In 1995, WNAX paid management fees of $132,000 to Park. USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT Property and equipment are carried at cost. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over three to forty years. INTANGIBLE ASSETS Intangibles are being amortized over twenty-three to forty years on a straight-line basis. 8 15 WNAX (a division of Roy H. Park Broadcasting of the Midwest, Inc.) Notes to Financial Statements 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) BARTER TRANSACTIONS WNAX trades air time for goods and services used principally for promotional, sales and other business activities. An asset and a liability is recorded at the fair market value of goods or services received. Barter revenue is recorded when commercials are broadcast, and barter expense is recorded when goods or services are received or used. In 1995, Park transferred a barter liability to WNAX for which no goods or services were received by WNAX. The barter transfer has been recorded as a dividend to the parent company in the amount of $408,797. Barter revenue and expense for the year ended December 31, 1995 was as follows: Barter revenue $187,751 Barter expense 66,015 REVENUE RECOGNITION POLICY Revenue is recognized as commercials are broadcast. INCOME TAXES WNAX is included in the consolidated tax returns of Park. Tax expense has been allocated to WNAX based on their own results of operations. These financial statements reflect a provision for income taxes on a stand-alone basis at statutory rates. The effective rate differs from the statutory rate primarily due to non-deductible amortization. The related current income tax liability is settled through the intercompany account and does not represent a cash transaction. The major component of the deferred tax liability is the financial reporting and tax basis differences for property and equipment and identifiable intangibles. 2. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK WNAX sells advertising to local and national companies throughout the United States. WNAX performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and generally does not require collateral. WNAX maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts at a level which management believes is sufficient to cover potential credit losses. 9 16 WNAX (a division of Roy H. Park Broadcasting of the Midwest, Inc.) Notes to Financial Statements 3. COMMITMENTS WNAX leases certain land, buildings, and equipment under noncancellable operating leases. Rent expense for the year ended December 31, 1995 was $7,770. Minimum annual rental commitments under noncancellable operating leases consist of the following: 1996 $ 7,380 1997 1,200 1998 1,200 1999 1,200 2000 1,200 Thereafter 105,000 -------- $117,180 ======== 4. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS (UNAUDITED) On June 11, 1996, the WNAX AM and FM broadcast licenses and property and equipment were sold for $7,000,000 cash to Saga Communications, Inc. The carrying value of assets sold amounted to $10,500,000 resulting in a $2,300,000 loss to Park net of Federal income tax benefit of $1,200,000. 10 17 WNAX (a division of Roy H.

See accompanying notes. 5 27 OCEAN COAST PROPERTIES NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 1995 and December 25, 1994 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES ------------------------------------------ Operations ---------- The Company operates an AM and FM radio station in Portland, Maine. The Company operates on a 52/53 week year, ending on the last Sunday in December. 1995 had 53 weeks. Substantially all revenue is generated through sales of advertising time to customers in Southern Maine. Use of Estimates ---------------- The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Advertising Costs ----------------- Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Property and Equipment ---------------------- Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is provided over the estimated lives of the assets using the straight-line method. Repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Intangible Assets ----------------- Intangible assets represent the excess of cost over the underlying value of the net operating assets of the radio station acquired by the Company prior to October 17, 1970, the effective date of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 17. These intangible assets are not being amortized since, in the opinion of management, there has been no reduction in their value. Income Taxes ------------ The Company has elected S-corporation status under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. As an S-corporation, the income or loss is included in the tax returns of the stockholders and, accordingly, the Company has not provided for federal or state income taxes. Earnings Per Common Share ------------------------- Earnings per common share is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. 6 28 OCEAN COAST PROPERTIES NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 1995 and December 25, 1994 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) ------------------------------------------------------ Statement of Cash Flow ---------------------- For purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash includes cash in bank and money market accounts. Fair Values of Financial Instruments ------------------------------------ In 1995, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107 Disclosures About Fair Values of Financial Instruments which requires disclosures about the fair values of financial instruments whether or not these items are recognized on the balance sheet. The fair value is defined as the amount at which an instrument could be exchanged in a transaction between willing parties; financial instruments, in general, are items which can be converted into, or settled with, cash. Due to the short-term nature of the Company's financial instruments, the carrying value of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued payroll, and other accrued liabilities approximates their fair value. 2. NOTES PAYABLE ------------- The Company maintains an unsecured line of credit agreement. The Company may borrow up to $400,000. The note, which bears interest at prime, is due on demand and expires April 30, 1996. The Company had no outstanding balance on December 31, 1995 or December 25, 1994. 3. COMMITMENTS ----------- The Company rents space for transmitting facilities under a five year lease which expires in December 1997. The lease calls for future minimum rentals of $22,800 yearly for 1994 through 1997. The lease contains four additional renewal options of five years each. Rental expense was approximately $22,800 for 1995 and 1994. 4. NONMONETARY TRANSACTIONS ------------------------ The Company trades unsold advertising time in exchange for goods and services. For the most part, the amount of revenue recorded is based upon the fair market value of the goods or services received. Revenue is recognized when the advertising is aired and expenses are recorded when the goods or services are received. Differences are recorded as receivables or payables. During the years ended December 31, 1995 and December 25, 1994, earned revenue through trade sales was $77,798 and $83,208, respectively. 7 29 OCEAN COAST PROPERTIES NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 1995 and December 25, 1994 5.
