NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.	Basis of Presentation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Spanish Broadcasting System, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2003 and March 31, 2004, and for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2003 and 2004 do not contain all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003 included in the Company’s fiscal year 2003 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Effective December 30, 2002, the Company changed its year-end from a broadcast calendar 52-53-week fiscal year ending on the last Sunday in December to a calendar year ending on December 31. Pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission Financial Reporting Release No. 35, such change was not deemed a change in fiscal year for financial reporting purposes and the Company was not required to file a separate transition report or to report separate financial information for the two-day period of December 30 and 31, 2002. Financial results for December 30 and 31, 2002 are included in the Company’s financial results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2003.

In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, which are all of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim periods. The results of operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year.


2.	Financial Information for Parent, Guarantor and Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries

Certain of the Company’s subsidiaries (collectively, the “Subsidiary Guarantors”) have guaranteed the Company’s 9 5/8% senior subordinated notes due 2009 on a joint and several basis. The Company has not included separate financial statements of the Subsidiary Guarantors because (i) all of the Subsidiary Guarantors are wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company, and (ii) the guarantees issued by the Subsidiary Guarantors are full and unconditional. The Company has not included separate parent-only financial statements since the parent (Spanish Broadcasting System, Inc., a Delaware corporation) is a holding company with no independent assets or operations other than its investments in its subsidiaries. All Federal Communications Commission (FCC) licenses are held by special purpose subsidiaries formed solely for the purpose of holding each respective FCC license and/or non-guarantor subsidiaries. All of the special purpose subsidiaries are non-guarantors of the 9 5/8% senior subordinated notes due 2009. Condensed consolidating unaudited financial information for the parent and its guarantor and non-guarantor subsidiaries is as follows (in thousands):

3.	New Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure” (SFAS No. 148). SFAS No. 148 amends the transition and disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123 “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.” Among other items, SFAS No. 148 allows companies adopting SFAS No. 123 to utilize one of three alternative transition methods, one of which was a “prospective method”, as defined, that was only available if adopted during 2003. To date, we have not adopted SFAS No. 123 utilizing any of the transition methods of SFAS No. 148. On March 31, 2004, the FASB issued an exposure draft on a proposed statement, Share-Based Payment, that addresses the accounting for share-based payment transactions in which an enterprise receives employee services in exchange for (a) equity instruments of the enterprise or (b) liabilities that are based on the fair value of the enterprise’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of such equity instruments. The proposed statement would eliminate the ability to account for share-based compensation transactions using Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and generally would require instead that such transactions be accounted for using a fair-value-based method. The proposed statement is effective for awards granted, modified, or settled in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2004, for public entities that used the fair-value based method of accounting under the original provisions of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation for recognition or pro forma disclosure purposes. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the proposed statement may have on its consolidated financial position, cash flows and results of operations.

In May 2003, FASB issued SFAS No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity” (SFAS No. 150), effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. This statement establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It requires that an issuer classify a freestanding financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances) when that financial instrument embodies an obligation of the issuer. The adoption of SFAS No. 150 did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In December 2003, FASB issued a revised Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51” (FIN 46R). FIN 46R requires the consolidation of entities in which an enterprise absorbs a majority of the entity’s expected losses, receives a majority of the entity’s expected residual returns, or both, as a result of ownership, contractual or other financial interests in the entity. Currently, entities are generally consolidated by an enterprise when it has a controlling financial interest through ownership of a majority voting interest in the entity. The provisions of FIN 46R are generally effective for existing (prior to February 1, 2003) variable interest relationships of a public entity no later than the end of the first reporting period that ends after March 15, 2004. However, prior to the required application of this interpretation, a public entity that is not a small business issuer shall apply FIN 46R to those entities that are considered to be special-purpose entities no later than the end of the first reporting period that ends after December 15, 2003. The adoption of FIN 46R did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.


4.	Sale of Stations and/or Discontinued Operations

On September 18, 2003, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with Border Media Partners, LLC to sell the assets of radio stations KLEY-FM and KSAH-AM, serving the San Antonio, Texas market, for a cash purchase price of $24.4 million. On January 30, 2004, the Company completed the sale of the assets of these radio stations KLEY-FM and KSAH-AM consisting of $11.2 million of intangible assets, net, and $0.6 million of property and equipment. The Company recognized a gain of approximately $11.3 million, net of closing costs and taxes on the sale.

On October 2, 2003, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with 3 Point Media — San Francisco, LLC (Three Point Media) to sell the assets of radio station KPTI-FM, serving the San Francisco, California market, for a cash purchase price of $30.0 million. In connection with this agreement, Three Point Media made a $1.5 million deposit on the purchase price. On February 3, 2004, the Company terminated the agreement; however, on April 15, 2004, the Company reinstated the agreement and entered into an amendment to the asset purchase agreement and a time brokerage agreement. In connection with this amendment, Three Point Media made an additional $0.5 million deposit on the purchase price. The Company intends to sell the assets of radio station KPTI-FM; however, there cannot be any assurance that the sale will be completed.

The Company determined that the pending sales and/or sales of these stations met the criteria in accordance with SFAS No. 144 to classify the stations’ respective assets as held for sale and their respective operations as discontinued operations. The results of operations in the current year and prior year period of these stations have been classified as discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. On March 31, 2004, the Company had assets held for sale consisting of $13.7 million of intangible assets, net, and $0.3 million of property and equipment for radio station KPTI-FM.


5.	Stock Options and Warrants

The Company accounts for its stock option plans in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations, under which compensation expense is recorded to the extent that the market price on the grant date of the underlying stock exceeds the exercise price. No stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in net income (loss), as all options granted under these plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The fair value of each option granted to employees is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions at:


	March 31, 2003		March 31, 2004

Expected life		7 years		7 years
Dividends		None		None
Risk-free interest rate		3.35%		3.33%
Expected volatility		86%		78%

Had compensation expense for the Company’s plans been determined consistent with SFAS No. 123, the Company’s net income (loss) applicable to common stockholders and net income (loss) per common share would have been adjusted to pro forma amounts indicated below (in thousands, except per share data):


		Three-Months Ended			Three-Months Ended
		March 31, 2003			March 31, 2004

Net (loss) income applicable to common stockholders:
As reported		$	(801	)	$	9,624
Deduct: total stock-based employee compensation expense determined under fair value based method for all awards, net of tax			(1,020	)		(1,786	)

Pro forma net (loss) income		$	(1,821	)	$	7,838

Net (loss) income per common share:
	As reported: Basic and Diluted	$	(0.01	)	$	0.15
	Pro forma: Basic and Diluted	$	(0.03	)	$	0.12

In connection with the purchase of KXOL-FM serving the Los Angeles, California market, the Company issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,700,000 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock. The following table summarizes information about these warrants:


	Number of Shares of
	Class A

6.	Litigation

From time to time we are involved in litigation incidental to the conduct of our business, such as contractual matters and employee-related matters. In the opinion of management, such litigation is not likely to have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, or financial position.

On June 14, 2000, an action was filed in the Eleventh Judicial Circuit in and for Miami-Dade County, Florida by Jose Antonio Hurtado against us, alleging that he was entitled to a commission related to an acquisition made by us. The case was tried before a jury during the week of December 1, 2003 and Mr. Hurtado was awarded the sum of $1.8 million, plus interest. Mr. Hurtado also filed an application for attorneys’ fees, which we opposed on grounds that there is no contractual or statutory basis for such an award. We filed a motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict, which was heard on February 6, 2004. On March 12, 2004, the Court denied our motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict and, upon its own motion, the Court granted a new trial. On April 7, 2004, Mr. Hurtado filed a notice of appeal with the Third District Court of Appeal, challenging the order granting a new trial, and on April 8, 2004, we filed a notice of cross-appeal, challenging the denial of our motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict. The appeal is sitting with the Third District Court of Appeal, pending the filing of appellate briefs and oral argument. We have accrued for the $1.8 million award, plus interest, at December 31, 2003 and have recorded the amount in other expense (income), net, in the consolidated statement of operations in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003.

In connection with our sale of WXLX-AM in 1997, we assigned the lease of the transmitter for WXLX in Lyndhurst, New Jersey, to the purchaser of the station. The transmitter is located on a former landfill which ceased operations in the late 1960’s. Although WXLX has been sold, we retain potential exposure to possible environmental liabilities relating to the transmitter site (the “Transmitter Property”). On September 12, 2002, the landlords of the property, Frank F. Viola, Thomas C. Viola Trust and Louis Viola Company, received a notice from the New Jersey Meadowlands Commission indicating that it was planning to redevelop the lands which include the Transmitter Property and offering compensation to the landlords for the purchase of the Transmitter Property. The Meadowlands Commission also initially indicated that it would not seek reimbursement from the landlords for the costs of landfill closure or for the remediation of environmental conditions that resulted from the operation of the landfill. The landlords assert that, in any condemnation proceedings, the Meadowlands Commission should be legally bound by its prior statements, foregoing landfill related claims. The landlords did not accept the initial offer of the Meadowlands Commission. On December 4, 2002, the Meadowlands Commission filed a condemnation proceeding in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Bergen County, against the landlords, and named us as an additional defendant. The principal parties to the condemnation proceeding recently negotiated a settlement of the compensation to be paid to the property owner and have petitioned the Court for approval of the settlement and for entry of an Order of Final Judgment. That motion is scheduled to be heard on May 14, 2004. In the proposed Order, the Meadowlands Commission does not reserve claims for reimbursement for landfill closure related costs. While it does reserve its rights to assert independently (even subsequent to the conclusion of the condemnation proceedings), claims concerning the remediation of any contamination unrelated to the landfill operations, the Meadowlands Commission’s investigations thus far have disclosed no such contamination and, to date, no claims have been made against the landlords or us relating to the environmental condition of the Transmitter Property.


Item 2.	*Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations*

Overview

We are the largest Hispanic-controlled radio broadcasting company in the United States. After giving effect to the proposed sale of our San Francisco station, we will own and operate 24 radio stations in five of the top-ten Hispanic markets in the United States, including Los Angeles, New York, Puerto Rico, Miami and Chicago. Our radio stations are located in markets that reach approximately 45% of the U.S. Hispanic population. As part of our operating business, we also operate LaMusica.com, a bilingual Spanish-English Internet website providing content related to Latin music, entertainment, news and culture.

The success of each of our radio stations depends significantly upon its audience ratings and share of the overall advertising revenue within its market. The radio broadcasting industry is a highly competitive business, but some barriers to entry do exist. Each of our radio stations competes with both Spanish-language and English-language radio stations in its market as well as with other advertising media such as newspapers, broadcast television, cable television, the Internet, magazines, outdoor advertising, transit advertising and direct mail marketing. Factors which are material to competitive position include management experience, the radio station’s rank in its market, signal strength and frequency, and audience demographics, including the nature of the Spanish-language market targeted by a particular station. Our top three markets, based on net revenue, are New York, Los Angeles and Miami. A significant decline in net revenue or station operating income from our stations in any of these markets could have a material adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations.

Our primary source of revenue is the sale of advertising time on our radio stations to local and national advertisers. Our revenue is affected primarily by the advertising rates that our radio stations are able to charge, as well as the overall demand for radio advertising time in each respective market. Seasonal net broadcasting revenue fluctuations are common in the radio broadcasting industry and are due to fluctuations in advertising expenditures by local and national advertisers. Typically, for the radio broadcasting industry, the first calendar quarter generally produces the lowest revenue.

The performance of a radio station group is customarily measured by its ability to generate station operating income and Adjusted EBITDA. Our most significant operating expenses, for purposes of the

computation of station operating income and Adjusted EBITDA, are compensation expenses, programming expenses, and advertising and promotional expenses. Our senior management strives to control these expenses as well as other expenses by working closely with local station management and others.

The term “station operating income” (our former broadcast cash flow or “BCF”) is defined as Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) operating income from continuing operations, excluding corporate expenses and depreciation and amortization. Station operating income replaces our former BCF as one of the metrics used by management to assess the performance of our radio stations. Although it is calculated in the same manner as BCF, management believes that using the term “station operating income” provides a more accurate description of the performance measure. The term “station operating income margin” consists of station operating income divided by net revenue.

EBITDA consists of earnings before interest expenses, interest income, income taxes, depreciation and amortization of assets and discontinued operations. We calculate our EBITDA differently. Our “EBITDA” is EBITDA as defined above but excluding other income or expense, or alternatively, GAAP operating income from continuing operations before depreciation and amortization. To distinguish our calculation of EBITDA from other possible meanings of EBITDA, for periods ending after March 31, 2003 and going forward we changed references to “EBITDA” in our financial reports to the term “Adjusted EBITDA.” Although our “Adjusted EBITDA” and what we formerly referred to as our “EBITDA” are calculated in the same manner, management believes “Adjusted EBITDA” is a more accurate description and represents another metric used by management to assess the performance of the stations and Company, as a whole.

“Station operating income,” “station operating income margin,” and “Adjusted EBITDA” are non-GAAP financial measures as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Regulation G. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be construed as superior to GAAP financial measures. The GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to each non-GAAP financial measure and a reconciliation of the differences between each non-GAAP financial measure and the comparable GAAP financial measure are included below. Although station operating income, station operating income margin and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, we believe that they are useful to an investor in evaluating an investment in our securities because they are measures widely used in the broadcast industry to evaluate a radio company’s operating performance and are used by management for internal budgeting purposes and to evaluate the performance of our radio stations. However, station operating income, station operating income margin and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for operating income, net income (loss), cash flows from operating activities and other income or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP, or as measures of liquidity or profitability. Also, because they are not calculated in the same manner by all companies, they may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies.

Fluctuation Analysis of the Operating Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2004 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2003 and Non-GAAP Measures Reconciliation.

The following summary table presents a comparison of our results of operations for the three-months ended March 31, 2003 and 2004 with respect to certain of our key financial measures, as well as a reconciliation of the difference between each Non-GAAP financial measure and the comparable GAAP financial measure. The changes illustrated in the table are discussed below. This section should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes.



		Three Months
		Ended March 31,						Change

		2003			2004			$


		(In thousands)
Net revenue		$	27,923		$	29,232			1,309
Station operating expenses (Engineering, Programming, Selling and G & A expenses)			17,468			18,329			861

	Station operating income (formerly broadcast cash flow)		10,455			10,903			448

	Net income (loss)	$	(801	)	$	11,678			12,479

Station operating income margin			37.4	%		37.3	%

Net Revenue. The increase in net revenue was due to the double-digit growth in our Miami and Chicago markets primarily in local and network revenue. In addition, the start-up stations KZAB-FM and KZBA-FM in Los Angeles, which began operating on March 1, 2003, generated an increase in net revenue of approximately $1.0 million. Offsetting these increases was a decrease in the New York market mainly in national and local revenue.

Station Operating Expenses. The increase in station operating expenses was primarily due to the investments made in our Los Angeles and New York programming departments. Other expenses that increased were audience research costs and insurance due to higher premiums. These increases were offset by decreases in: (a) local and national commissions due to lower commission structures (b) stock-based programming expense related to the warrants issued in connection with the KXOL-FM asset purchase agreement and (c) advertising and promotional expenses due to a decrease in promotional events and less advertising in our core markets.

Station Operating Income. The increase in station operating income was due to the increase in net revenue offset by the increase in station operating expenses. Station operating income margin remained flat due to the proportional increases in net revenue and station operating expenses.

Corporate Expenses. The decrease in corporate expenses resulted mainly from the decrease in legal and professional fees related to various lawsuits and other legal matters.

Adjusted EBITDA. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily attributed to the increase in station operating income and decrease in corporate expenses.

Depreciation and Amortization. The increase in depreciation and amortization was due to the acquisition of property and equipment in our Chicago, Los Angeles and New York markets.

Operating Income from Continuing Operations. The increase in operating income from continuing operations was primarily attributed to the increase in Adjusted EBITDA.

Interest Expense, Net. The increase in interest expense, net, was due to interest incurred on the new $125.0 million senior secured credit facility term loan that was entered into on October 30, 2003 and a decrease in interest income resulting from a general decline in interest rates and our average cash balances.

Income Taxes. The income tax benefit was a result of applying our estimated effective tax rate for the full year of 125% to our pre-tax loss from continuing operations. The increase in income tax benefit was due to an increase in our estimated effective book tax rate, over the prior year, primarily due to the additional tax amortization of FCC licenses as a result of our acquisition of KXOL-FM in October 2003. Our effective book tax rate was impacted by the adoption of SFAS No. 142 on December 31, 2001. As a result of adopting SFAS No. 142, the reversal of our deferred tax liabilities related to our intangible assets could no longer be assured over our net operating loss carryforward period. Therefore, our estimated effective book tax rate reflects a full valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets.

Discontinued Operations, Net of Taxes. We determined that the sale of our KLEY-FM and KSAH-AM stations serving the San Antonio, Texas market, and the pending sale of our KPTI-FM station serving the San Francisco, California market, all met the criteria in accordance with SFAS No. 144 to classify their respective operations as discontinued operations. Consequently, these stations’ results from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2004 have been classified as discontinued operations. The increase in discontinued operations, net of taxes was a result of the $11.3 million gain recognized on the sale of our KLEY-FM and KSAH-AM stations, net of closing costs and taxes on the sale.

Net Income. The increase in net income was primarily due to the increase in discontinued operations, net of taxes, related to an $11.3 million gain on the sale of radio stations KLEY-FM and KSAH-AM.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary source of liquidity is cash on hand and cash provided by operations and, to the extent necessary, undrawn commitments that are available under a five-year $10.0 million revolving credit facility. Our ability to raise funds by increasing our indebtedness is limited by the terms of the indentures governing our senior subordinated notes, the certificates of designations governing our preferred stock and the credit agreement governing our senior secured credit facilities. Additionally, the indentures, certificates of designations and credit agreement place restrictions on us with respect to the sale of assets, liens, investments, dividends, debt repayments, capital expenditures, transactions with affiliates and consolidations and mergers, among other things. We had cash and cash equivalents of $45.6 million and $74.2 million as of December 31, 2003 and March 31, 2004, respectively.

The following summary table presents a comparison of our capital resources for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2004, with respect to certain of our key measures affecting our liquidity. The changes set forth in the table are discussed below. This section should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes.



	Three Months
	Ended March 31,						Change

	2003			2004			$
*In thousands*

Capital expenditures	$	1,235		$	682			(553	)

Net cash flows provided by operating activities	$	10,083		$	6,467			(3,616	)
Net cash flows provided by (used in) investing activities		(16,385	)		23,048			39,433
Net cash flows used in financing activities		(50	)		(937	)		(887	)

Net (decrease) increase in cash and cash equivalents	$	(6,352	)	$	28,578

Net Cash Flows Provided By Operating Activities. Changes in our net cash flows from operating activities were primarily a result of the increase in cash paid to vendors, suppliers and employees and for interest, causing the decrease in working capital balances.

Net Cash Flows Provided By (Used In) Investing Activities. Changes in our net cash flows from investing activities were primarily a result of the proceeds received from the sale of radio stations KLEY-FM and KSAH-AM in January 2004, and a deposit made in March 2003 for the acquisition of KXOL-FM, which was completed in October 2003.

Net Cash Flows (Used in) Financing Activities. Changes in our net cash flows from financing activities were primarily a result of the additional offering costs related to our 10 3/4% Series B cumulative exchangeable redeemable preferred stock and financing costs related to our $135.0 million senior secured credit facilities, and the principal payment made on the senior secured credit facility term loan during the three months period ended March 31, 2004.

Management believes that cash from operating activities, together with cash on hand, should be sufficient to permit us to meet our operating obligations in the foreseeable future, including required interest and quarterly principal payments pursuant to the senior secured credit facilities agreement, interest payment requirements under our 9 5/8% senior subordinated notes due 2009 and capital expenditures, excluding the acquisitions of FCC licenses. Assumptions (none of which can be assured), which underlie management’s beliefs, include the following:

• the economic conditions within the radio broadcasting industry and economic conditions in general will not deteriorate in any material respect;

• we will continue to successfully implement our business strategy; and

• we will not incur any material unforeseen liabilities, including environmental liabilities.

Our strategy is to primarily utilize cash flows from operations to meet our capital needs and contractual obligations. However, we also have bank borrowings available to meet our capital needs and contractual obligations and, when appropriate, will obtain financing by issuing debt or stock.

We are required to maintain financial covenant ratios under our senior secured credit facilities as follows: (i) Consolidated EBITDA minimum, (ii) Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, (iii) Consolidated Leverage Ratio, (iv) Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio and (v) Consolidated Senior Secured Debt Ratio, all as defined in the credit agreement solely for the purpose of determining compliance with the covenants. The credit agreement requiring compliance with these financial covenants states that the calculations must be based on generally accepted accounting principles promulgated by the Financial Accounting Standards Board. We are in compliance with all covenants under our senior secured credit facilities and all other debt instruments as of March 31, 2004 and expect to be in compliance in the foreseeable future.

On October 2, 2003, we entered into an asset purchase agreement with 3 Point Media — San Francisco, LLC (“Three Point Media”) to sell the assets of radio station KPTI-FM, serving the San Francisco, California market, for a cash purchase price of $30.0 million. In connection with this agreement, Three Point Media made a $1.5 million deposit on the purchase price. On February 3, 2004, we terminated the agreement; however, on April 15, 2004, we reinstated the agreement and entered into an amendment to the asset purchase agreement and a time brokerage agreement. In connection with this amendment, Three Point Media made an additional $0.5 million deposit on the purchase price. We intend to sell the assets of radio station KPTI-FM; however, there cannot be any assurance that the sale will be completed. Pursuant to the credit agreement governing our senior secured credit facilities, a portion (approximately $25.0 million) of the proceeds received from the sale of KPTI-FM, when and if completed, must be offered to the noteholders to repay a portion of our borrowings under the senior secured credit facilities.

We continuously review opportunities to acquire additional radio stations and sell non-core radio stations, primarily in the largest Hispanic markets in the United States. We engage in discussions regarding potential acquisitions from time to time in the ordinary course of business. We currently have no written understandings, letters of intent or contracts to acquire radio stations or other companies. We anticipate that any future

acquisitions would be financed through funds generated from permitted debt financing, equity financing, operations, asset sales or a combination of these sources. However, there can be no assurance that financing from any of these sources, if available, can be obtained on favorable terms for future acquisitions.

During the three months ended March 31, 2004, we entered into various contractual obligations related to production services agreements, syndication agreements and employee agreements. We expect unrecorded obligations to increase by approximately $5.1 million, $4.9 million, $5.1 million, $4.4 million, $4.6 million and $0.7 million for the fiscal years ended 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009.

• We compete for advertising revenue with other radio groups as well as television and other media, many operators of which have greater resources than we do;

• We might face increased competition because of the merger of Univision Communications Inc. and Hispanic Broadcasting Corp.;

• We must be able to respond to rapidly changing technology, services and standards which characterize our industry for us to remain competitive;

• Our business depends on maintaining our FCC licenses and we cannot assure you that we will be able to maintain these licenses;

• We may face regulatory review for additional acquisitions;

• The market price of our shares of Class A common stock may fluctuate significantly; and

• Current or future sales by existing or future stockholders could depress the market price of our Class A common stock.

Consequently, such forward-looking statements should be regarded solely as our current plans, estimates and beliefs. We do not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent events or circumstances.


Item 3.	*Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk*

We believe that inflation has not had a material impact on our results of operations for the three months ended March 31,2003 and 2004, respectively. However, there can be no assurance that inflation will not have an adverse impact on our future operating results and financial condition.

Our primary market risk is a change in interest rates associated with borrowings under our senior secured credit facilities. Advances under the senior secured credit facilities bear base rate or eurodollar rate interest (in each case subject to applicable margins), as applicable, which vary in accordance with prevailing economic conditions. Our earnings are affected by changes in interest rates due to the impact those changes have on interest expense from variable-rate debt instruments and on interest income generated from our cash and investment balances. At March 31, 2004, all of our debt, other than our $124.7 million senior secured credit facility term loan, had fixed interest rates. If variable interest rates average 10% higher in 2004 than they did during 2003, our variable interest expense would increase by approximately $0.6 million, compared to a variable annualized estimated $5.5 million for 2003 measured as of December 31, 2003. If interest rates average 10% lower in 2004 than they did during 2003, our interest income from cash and investment balances would decrease by approximately $0.1 million, compared to a variable annualized estimated $0.5 million for 2003 measured as of December 31, 2003. These amounts are determined by considering the impact of the hypothetical interest rates on our variable-rate debt, cash equivalents and short-term investment balances at December 31, 2003. There has been no material change in our market risk position since December 31, 2003.


Item 4.	*Controls and Procedures*

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As of the end of the quarterly period covered by this report, our management carried out an evaluation, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of such period, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
