ITEM 2. ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.
On August 24, 2000, Salem Communications Corporation, (the "Company"),
completed its acquisition of certain assets of eight radio stations from
affiliates of Clear Channel, Inc. ("Clear Channel") and AMFM, Inc. ("AMFM"),
pursuant to the terms of an Asset Purchase Agreement dated March 5, 2000, by and
among the Company and affiliates of Clear Channel and AMFM. The Company
completed the acquisition by acquiring certain assets of the radio stations
KALC-FM (Denver, Colorado), KXMX-FM and KEZY-AM (Anaheim, California); WKNR-AM
and WRMR-AM (Cleveland, Ohio); WYGY-FM and WBOB-AM (Cincinnati, Ohio); and
KDGE-FM (Dallas, Texas) through four subsidiaries wholly-owned, directly or
indirectly, by the Company. The acquired assets consist principally of FCC
licenses and other intangible assets used in the radio broadcasting business and
will continue to be utilized by the Company's subsidiaries for such purposes.
The acquired assets were purchased for $185.6 million in cash, which
purchase price was determined through arms-length negotiation. The acquisition
was financed through cash on hand, borrowings and the sale of certain assets,
including the FCC license, of radio station KLTX-AM, Los Angeles, CA. Such
borrowings included a $58 million borrowing under a short-term credit facility
provided by ING (U.S.) Capital, LLC as Agent, and an additional $110.8 million
borrowing under the Company's existing credit facility provided by The Bank of
New York as Administrative Agent, which existing credit facility was amended to
(i) permit up to $225 million in borrowing, (ii) replace the Company with its
wholly-owned subsidiary Salem Communications Holding Corporation as borrower,
and (iii) amend or waive certain provisions of the existing credit facility.
Subsequent to the initial transaction, the Company announced two related
transactions.
On August 29, 2000, the Company announced that it entered into an asset
exchange agreement with Sunburst Dallas, LP ("Sunburst"). The Company will
exchange KDGE-FM, Dallas, Texas for KLTY-FM, Dallas, Texas. The two companies
signed a local marketing agreement ("LMA") to begin operating the stations on
October 1, 2000. The LMA allows Salem to operate KLTY-FM, and Sunburst to
operate KDGE-FM, before the transaction has closed.
On September 18, 2000, the Company announced a definitive agreement with
Emmis Communications ("Emmis") to sell KALC-FM, Denver, Colorado for
approximately $100 million in cash. Emmis began operating the station under an
LMA on October 15, 2000.
The two above transactions in conjunction with the initial asset purchase
and related financing transactions including the sale of KLTX-AM are referred to
herein as the Transaction.
ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS.
In order to facilitate the closing and financing of the asset acquisition,
the Company formed three new wholly-owned subsidiaries, Salem Communications
Holding Corporation ("HoldCo"), Salem Communications Acquisition Corporation
("AcquisitionCo") and SCA License Corporation ("SCA"), each a Delaware
corporation. HoldCo and AcquisitionCo are direct subsidiaries of the Company;
SCA is a wholly-owned subsidiary of AcquisitionCo.
Pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption Agreement (the "Assignment") dated
as of August 24, 2000, the Company assigned to HoldCo, and HoldCo assumed,
substantially all of the assets and liabilities of the Company, including
HoldCo's assumption of the obligations as successor issuer pursuant to the
Indenture dated as of September 25, 1997, by and among the Company, the
guarantors named therein and The Bank of New York, as Trustee, as supplemented
through March 31, 1999 and as further supplemented by Supplemental Indenture No.
2, dated as of August 24, 2000, by and among the Company, HoldCo as successor
issuer, the guarantors named therein and The Bank of New York, as Trustee.
Pursuant to the Assignment, HoldCo also assumed all of the Company's rights and
obligations under the Company's existing revolving credit facility described in
Item 2, above, which was amended in connection with the consummation of the
asset acquisition.
As a result of the acquisition of the assets of the eight radio stations,
the FCC licenses of the radio stations were assigned to AcquisitionCo (KALC-FM,
Denver, Colorado) and subsidiaries of HoldCo as follows: New Inspiration
Broadcasting Company, Inc. (KXMX-FM and KEZY-AM, Anaheim, California), Caron
Broadcasting, Inc. (WKNR-AM and WRMR-AM,
Cleveland, Ohio; WYGY-FM and WBOB-AM, Cincinnati, Ohio) and Inspiration Media of
Texas, Inc. (KDGE-FM, Dallas, Texas). An application for the assignment of the
FCC license of KALC-FM (Denver, Colorado) from AcquisitionCo to its wholly-owned
subsidiary, SCA, has been submitted to the FCC for approval.

management of Clear Channel Communications, Inc. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted

to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, the combined financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the combined financial position of Clear

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
NATURE OF BUSINESS
Clear Channel Communications, Inc. (Clear Channel) is a diversified media
company which was incorporated in Texas in 1974. Clear Channel owns, programs or
sells airtime for radio and television stations, and is one of the world's
largest outdoor advertising companies based on total advertising display
inventory in the United States and internationally.
Clear Channel owned and operated radio stations KXMX(FM) and KEZY(AM) (the
Stations) located in Anaheim, California, through one of its wholly owned
subsidiaries. The stations do not exist as a legal or taxed entity. These
combined financial statements have been prepared in connection with the sale of
the Stations to Salem Communications Corporation. These combined financial
statements present the operations of the Stations on a "carved-out" basis. The
combined financial statements have been prepared as if the Stations had operated
as a stand-alone entity for the period presented, and include only those assets,
liabilities, revenues and expenses directly attributable to the Stations'
operation. Corporate expenses, interest expense and income taxes have been
allocated to the Stations as indicated in Note 3. The financial information
included herein does not necessarily reflect the financial position and results
of operations of what the Stations would have been had they operated as a
stand-alone entity during the periods covered, and may not be indicative of
future operations or financial position.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash and cash equivalents include all highly liquid investments with an original
maturity of three months or less.
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
Accounts receivable are stated net of agency commissions, as well as any
applicable allowance for uncollectible accounts. Allowances for uncollectible
accounts at June 30, 2000 were approximately $150,000. The provision for
uncollectible accounts was $127,760 and write-offs of uncollectible accounts
were $7,760 for the 12 months ended June 30, 2000.

June 30, 2000
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed
principally by the straight-line method at rates that, in the opinion of
management, are adequate to allocate the cost of such assets over their
estimated useful lives, which are as follows:
Buildings 10 to 30 years
Transmitter and studio equipment 7 to 15 years
Furniture and other equipment 2 to 10 years
Leasehold improvements generally life of lease
Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred,
whereas expenditures for renewal and betterments are capitalized.
INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Intangible assets are stated at cost and are being amortized using the
straight-line method. Excess cost over the fair value of net assets acquired
(goodwill) and FCC licenses are amortized over 25 years. The periods of
amortization are evaluated annually to determine whether circumstances warrant
revision.
The carrying value of intangible assets is reviewed on a regular basis for the
existence of facts or circumstances, both internally and externally, that may
suggest impairment. If such impairment is identified, the impairment loss will
be measured by comparing the estimated future undiscounted cash flows to the
asset's carrying value. To date, no such impairment has been indicated.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
UNFAVORABLE LEASE
For the facility lease assumed through Clear Channel's acquisition of the
Stations, the net excess of future minimum lease payments over the fair value of
these payments has been recorded as a liability of Clear Channel and is being
amortized over the remaining term of the lease. This liability is included in
the parent company investment account, and the amortization has been allocated
to the Stations monthly as the lease is paid. Total amortization allocated to
the Stations for the 12 months ended June 30, 2000 was approximately $86,000 and
the remaining liability included in the parent company investment account at
June 30, 2000 was approximately $456,000.
PARENT COMPANY INVESTMENT ACCOUNT
The Stations were acquired by Clear Channel through a stock acquisition of Jacor
Communications, Inc. on May 4, 1999. The Stations are not a legal entity and
have no separate capital accounts. The parent company investment account
contains Clear Channel's initial investment in the Stations and the accumulated
deficit from operations, offset by nonmaturing advances from and repayments to
Clear Channel.
INCOME TAXES
The Stations are included in the consolidated federal income tax return of Clear
Channel. For purposes of the accompanying financial statements, income tax
benefits have been calculated on a separate-company basis based on the federal
and state statutory rates. Deferred and current tax assets and liabilities are
included in the parent company investment account as they will be realized as
part of the Clear Channel consolidated tax return.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Broadcasting revenue, which consists primarily of the sale of airtime to local,
regional and national customers, is recognized as advertisements or programs are
broadcast and is generally billed monthly.

Radio Stations KXMX(FM)/KEZY(AM)
Notes to Combined Statement of Operations (Continued)
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
REVENUE RECOGNITION (CONTINUED)
Revenue from barter transactions is recognized when advertisements are
broadcast. Merchandise or services received are charged to expense when received
or used. For the twelve months ended June 30, 2000, the Stations recognized
barter revenue of approximately $810,000. Barter expense approximated barter
revenue in the same period.
ADVERTISING AND PROMOTION
Expenditures for advertising and promotion are charged to expense as incurred
and totaled approximately $688,000 for the twelve months ended June 30, 2000.
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 amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
2. COMMITMENTS
Clear Channel leases certain equipment and tower space under long-term operating
leases. At June 30, 2000, future minimum rental commitments of Clear Channel
which relate to the stations, under noncancelable lease agreements with terms in
excess of one year, consist of the following:
Through June 30, 2001 $ 186,000
2002 194,000
2003 200,000
2004 208,000
2005 104,000

2. COMMITMENTS (CONTINUED)
Rent expense charged to operations net of amortization of the unfavorable lease
liability for the twelve months ended June 30, 2000 was approximately $92,000.
3. CORPORATE ALLOCATIONS
As described in Note 1, the combined financial statements present the operations
of the Stations on a "carved-out" basis. Certain expenses, including corporate
general and administrative expenses, interest expense and income tax benefits,
have been allocated to the Stations.
Corporate general and administrative expenses have been allocated to the
Stations based on their proportionate share of broadcast net revenues. Interest
has been allocated to the Stations based upon management's estimate of the total
Clear Channel debt attributable to the acquisition and operation of the
Stations, using Clear Channel's weighted-average interest rate of approximately
5% for the twelve months ended June 30, 2000. Income tax benefits have been
allocated to the Stations based on the loss before income taxes at federal and
state statutory tax rates. Corporate allocations of general and administrative
expenses, interest expense and income tax benefits are included in the parent
company investment account.
4. SALE OF STATIONS (UNAUDITED)
On March 5, 2000, Salem Communications Corporation entered into an asset
purchase agreement with Clear Channel to purchase the FCC licenses and certain
operating assets of the Stations for approximately $35 million in cash. The
transaction was subject to FCC approvals, and was consummated August 24, 2000.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Salem Communications Corporation:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets acquired as of August 24,
2000 and the statements of revenues and direct operating expenses of WBOB-AM
(the "Station") for each of the two years ended December 31, 1999. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Station's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the statement of
assets acquired and the statements of revenues and direct operating expenses are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
The accompanying financial statements reflect the assets acquired and the
revenues and direct operating expenses attributable to the Station as described
in Note 1 and are not intended to be a complete presentation of the assets or
revenues and expenses of the Station.
In our opinion, the statement of assets acquired and statements of revenues and
direct operating expenses present fairly, in all material respects, the assets
described in Note 1 as of August 24, 2000 and the revenues and direct operating
expenses as described in Note 1 for each of the two years ended December 31,
1999 of the Station, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted

1. THE STATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying financial statements are derived from the accounts of
WBOB-AM (the "Station"). The Station operates a commercial radio station
in Cincinnati, Ohio, and was wholly owned by AMFM Operating Inc.
("Operating") through August 24, 2000.
On August 24, 2000, Operating sold the assets of the Station to Salem

No liabilities were assumed by Salem in the transaction. The accompanying
financial statements do not reflect any adjustments relating to this
transaction.
The accompanying statement of assets acquired and statements of revenues
and direct operating expenses have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles and were derived from the
historical accounting records of the Station.
The statement of assets acquired includes the assets of the Station
acquired by Salem on August 24, 2000. This statement does not include
cash, accounts receivable, prepaid or other assets, accounts payable,
accrued expenses or other borrowings.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment consists primarily of broadcasting equipment,
buildings, and other equipment. Property and equipment are stated at cost
less accumulated depreciation which approximates the appraised value of
the assets at the date of the sale. Operating continually evaluates the
propriety of the carrying amount of property and equipment to determine
whether current events or circumstances warrant adjustment to the
carrying value. Repairs and maintenance costs are charged to expense when
incurred.
BROADCAST LICENSES
Broadcast licenses are stated at cost less accumulated amortization.
Operating continually evaluates the propriety of the carrying amount of
broadcast licenses to determine whether current events or circumstances
warrant adjustment to the carrying value.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Revenue is derived primarily from the sale of commercial announcements to
local and national advertisers. Revenue is recognized as commercials are
broadcast.

RADIO STATION WRMR-AM
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of WRMR-AM (the
"Station"). The Station operates a commercial radio station in Cleveland,
Ohio, and is wholly-owned by AMFM Operating Inc. ("Operating"), an indirect
wholly-owned subsidiary of AMFM Inc. ("AMFM").
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Operating allocates certain corporate expenses such as employee insurance
and benefits, legal fees, and other general and administrative costs to the
Station. These costs have been included as expenses in the accompanying
financial statements and amount to $54,178 for the year ended June 30,
2000. The Station shares facilities with another radio station owned by
Operating. A service charge of $43,306 for the year ended June 30, 2000
representing the Station's use of the shared facilities is included in the
accompanying financial statements. Management believes the allocation
methods employed to allocate corporate and shared facility expenses are
reasonable; however, the costs of these services and expenditures charged
to the Station may not necessarily reflect the results of operations,
financial position, and cash flows of the Station as if it had operated as
a stand-alone entity, and may not be indicative of future operations, cash
flows, or financial position. Furthermore, the costs allocated to the
Station may not be indicative of amounts which might be paid to unrelated
parties for similar services.
The Station does not maintain a significant cash balance and is funded as
needed by Operating. The average station equity balance for the period was
$16,214,944.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
LONG-LIVED ASSETS
Purchases of property and equipment, including additions and improvements
and expenditures for repairs and maintenance that extend the economic lives
of the assets, are capitalized at cost and depreciated on a straight-line
basis over their estimated useful lives ranging from seven to ten years for
broadcasting facilities and seven to twenty years for transmitter towers
and equipment.
The Station's broadcast license is stated at cost and is amortized over 15
years using the straight-line method.
Operating continually evaluates the propriety of the carrying amount of the
Station's long-lived assets and related useful lives to determine whether
current events or circumstances warrant adjustments to the carrying value
and/or revised estimates of useful lives. To the extent this review
indicates that undiscounted cash flows are not expected to be adequate to
recover the carrying amounts of the related long-lived assets, such
carrying amounts are written down by charges to expense.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Station's revenue is derived primarily from the sale of commercial
airtime to local and national advertisers in the Cleveland, Ohio market
area. Revenue is recognized as commercials are broadcast.
6
RADIO STATION WRMR-AM
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BARTER AGREEMENTS
The Station enters into trade agreements which give rise to sales of
advertising airtime in exchange for products and services. Revenues from
trade agreements are recognized at the fair market value of products or
services received as advertising airtime is broadcast. Products and
services received are expensed when used in the Station's broadcast
operations.
INCOME TAXES
The Station is a member of a group that files a consolidated income tax
return. For purposes of separate financial statement presentation, the
Station's current and deferred income taxes have been determined by
allocating Operating's tax expense/benefit based on the tax attributes of
the Station's assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities
have not been allocated to the Station. The Station recognizes tax benefits
from operating losses as those benefits are realized by Operating.
SIGNIFICANT RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
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
disclosures 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.
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Station to
concentrations of credit risk consist principally of accounts receivable.
The credit risk is limited due to the large number of customers comprising
the Station's customer base.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The carrying amounts of certain of the Station's financial instruments
including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable
and accrued expenses approximate fair value due to their short maturities.
3. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment at June 30, 2000 consisted of broadcasting
facilities and equipment recorded at $41,371 less accumulated depreciation
of $1,616, and transmitter towers and equipment recorded at $808,047 less
accumulated depreciation of $57,235.
4. BROADCAST LICENSE
At June 30, 2000 the Station's broadcast license is recorded at $16,264,385
less accumulated amortization of $1,529,279.

Station, voluntary participation in a 401(k) plan. AMFM may make
discretionary contributions to the plans; however, no such contributions
were made by AMFM during the year ended June 30, 2000.
8. SUBSEQUENT EVENT
On August 24, 2000, AMFM entered into an asset purchase agreement to sell
substantially all of the assets used in connection with the operation of
the Station to Salem Communications Corporation ("Salem"). The acquisition
of the Station's assets was part of a transaction between Salem and
affiliates of AMFM and Clear Channel Communications, Inc. ("Clear
Channel"), in which Salem acquired certain of the assets and assumed
certain of the liabilities of eight AMFM and Clear Channel stations for an
aggregate purchase price of $185.6 million. No adjustments have been made
to the Station's financial statements as a result of this transaction.

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of WKNR-AM (the
"Station"). The Station operates a commercial radio station in Cleveland,
Ohio, and is wholly-owned by AMFM Operating Inc. ("Operating"), an indirect
wholly-owned subsidiary of AMFM Inc. ("AMFM").
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Operating allocates certain corporate expenses such as interest, employee
insurance and benefits, legal fees, and other general and administrative
costs to the Station. These costs have been included as expenses in the
accompanying financial statements and amount to $39,036 for the period from
July 13, 1999 to June 30, 2000. Management believes the allocation methods
employed to allocate corporate expenses are reasonable; however, the costs
of these services charged to the Station may not necessarily reflect the
results of operations, financial position, and cash flows of the Station as
if it had operated as a stand-alone entity, and may not be indicative of
future operations, cash flows, or financial position. Furthermore, the
costs allocated to the Station may not be indicative of amounts which might
be paid to unrelated parties for similar services.
The Station does not maintain a significant cash balance and is funded as
needed by Operating. The average station equity balance for the period was
$8,678,326.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
LONG-LIVED ASSETS
Purchases of property and equipment, including additions and improvements
and expenditures for repairs and maintenance that extend the economic lives
of the assets, are capitalized at cost and depreciated on a straight-line
basis over their estimated useful lives, as follows:
Vehicles 5- 7 years
Furniture and fixtures 7-10 years
Building and improvements 20-30 years
Broadcasting towers and equipment 7-10 years
Other equipment 3-10 years
The Station's intangible assets consist of goodwill and broadcast licenses.
Intangible assets are stated at cost and amortized over 15 years using the
straight-line method.
Operating continually evaluates the propriety of the carrying amount of the
Station's long-lived assets and related useful lives to determine whether
current events or circumstances warrant adjustments to the carrying value
and/or revised estimates of useful lives. To the extent this review
indicates that undiscounted cash flows are not expected to be adequate to
recover the carrying amounts of the related long-lived assets, such
carrying amounts are written down by charges to expense.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Station's revenue is derived primarily from the sale of commercial
airtime to local and national advertisers in the Cleveland, Ohio market
area. Revenue is recognized as commercials are broadcast.
BARTER AGREEMENTS
The Station enters into trade agreements which give rise to sales of
advertising airtime in exchange for products and services. Revenues from
trade agreements are recognized at the fair market value of

The credit risk is limited due to the large number of customers comprising

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The carrying amounts of certain of the Station's financial instruments
including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable,
and accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to their short
maturities.

The financial statements of the Partnership represent the operations of
the radio broadcast stations owned or operated by the Partnership and its
wholly owned subsidiary, Bowie-Nocona Broadcasting Company, Inc.
("Bowie-Nocona"). All significant intercompany accounts have been
eliminated in the financial statements of the Partnership.
ALLOCATION OF PROFITS AND LOSSES - The allocation of profits and losses,
with respect to any partner, is intended to comply with the provisions of
Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d).
LIMITED PARTNER PRIORITY RETURN - The Limited Partner Priority Return, as
defined in the Agreement of Limited Partnership, is equal to 11% per annum
of each limited partner's limited partner adjusted capital contribution
and is compounded annually with respect to each capital contribution of
each limited partner on the anniversary of the date each such capital
contribution is made. The limited partner priority return is intended to
be a preferential return of capital to the limited partners.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS - The Partnership considers all highly liquid
investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be
cash equivalents. The carrying value of these investments approximates
fair value.
REVENUE RECOGNITION - Broadcasting revenue is derived primarily from the
sale of program time and commercial announcements to local, regional and
national advertisers. Revenue is recognized when the programs and
commercial announcements are broadcast.
TBA FEES - TBA fees consist of fees paid by the Partnership under an
agreement which permits an acquirer to program and market stations prior
to acquisition. The Partnership entered into such an agreement prior to
the consummation of the station acquisition. The total expense from TBA
fees was $1,943,515 for the year ended June 30, 2000.
-6-
BARTER TRANSACTIONS - Barter transactions represent advertising time
exchanged primarily for promotional items, advertising, supplies,
equipment and services. Barter revenue is recorded at the fair market
value of the goods or services received and is recognized when the
advertisements are broadcast. Goods or services are charged to expense
when received or used. Advertising time owed and goods or services due the
Partnership are included in accounts payable and accounts receivable,
respectively. For the year ended June 30, 2000, barter revenues and
expenses amounted to $271,647 and $187,742, respectively. Accounts payable
and accounts receivable resulting from barter transactions amounted to
$37,886 and $131,292 at June 30, 2000.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT - Property and equipment are stated at cost less
accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is provided on the
straight-line method based on the following estimated useful lives:
Classification Years
Buildings and towers 15 - 30
Broadcasting equipment 5 - 7
Autos 5
Furniture, fixtures and office equipment 5 - 7
Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over
the shorter of their useful lives or the terms of the related leases.
Expenditures for repair and maintenance are expensed when incurred.
Betterments are capitalized. When property or equipment is disposed or
retired, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from
the accounts, and the resulting gain or loss is reflected in the statement
of operations.
INTANGIBLE ASSETS - Intangible assets are carried at historical cost, less
accumulated amortization. Amortization is determined using the
straight-line method based upon the estimated useful lives of the assets
as follows:
CLASSIFICATION YEARS
FCC licenses and permits 15
Intellectual property 15
Deferred financing costs Life of loan
Covenants not to compete and consulting agreements Life of contract
Goodwill 15
The Partnership continually evaluates intangible assets for impairment
based on anticipated undiscounted cash flows as well as by analyzing the
operating results and trends and prospects of the business. The
Partnership also takes into consideration recent acquisition patterns
within the broadcast industry, the impact of recently enacted or potential
Federal Communications Commission (the "FCC") rules and regulations and
any other events or circumstances which might indicate potential
impairment. At this time, the Partnership believes that no significant
impairment of its intangible assets has occurred.
LONG-LIVED ASSETS - The Partnership periodically reviews long-lived assets
to assess recoverability, based on estimated future results of operations
and undiscounted cash flows.
DEBT DISCOUNT - Debt discount related to the issuance of debt is reported
in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the face amount of the
note. Amortization of the discount is determined using the effective
interest method and is reported as interest expense in the statement of
operations.
-7-
CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK - The Partnership's revenues and accounts
receivable primarily relate to advertising of products and services within
the radio stations' broadcast areas, currently, Dallas, Texas. The
Partnership's management performs ongoing credit evaluations of customers'
financial condition and, generally, requires no collateral from its
customers. Credit losses have been within management's expectations, and
allowances for any anticipated uncollectible receivables are maintained.
INCOME TAXES - The Partnership does not pay federal or state income taxes
on its taxable income. Instead, individual partners are liable for income
taxes on their respective share of the Partnership's taxable income.
ADVERTISING AND PROMOTION - All costs associated with advertising and
promotion are expensed in the year incurred.
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS - In June 1998, Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 ("FAS 133"), Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, was issued. This statement
establishes standards for valuing and reporting at fair value all
derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities. FAS 133, as
amended by FAS 137, is effective for all fiscal quarters of all fiscal
years beginning after June 15, 2000. Management of the Partnership does
not expect adoption of this Standard to have a material impact on its
financial statements.
On December 3, 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued
Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 101, REVENUE RECOGNITION IN
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. SAB No. 101 provides guidance on the recognition,
presentation and disclosures of revenue in financial statements filed
with the Commission and is required to be implemented no later than the
fourth quarter of fiscal 2000. Management of the Partnership believes
the adoption of SAB No. 101 will not have a material effect on its
financial statements.
MANAGEMENT'S ESTIMATES - The preparation of financial statements in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America 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.
NON-OPERATING EXPENSE - Non-operating expense represents costs of the
proposed roll-up of the Partnership and an affiliate with two other
broadcasting companies, and subsequent initial public offering. The
proposed roll-up and initial public offering were aborted in 2000.

5. COMMON CONTROL TRANSFER
Through a series of transactions by the Partnership with affiliated
entities under common control, the Partnership acquired the business
operations and licensed the intellectual property of 94.1 FM KLTY. These
transactions are further described as follows.
KLTY-FM - On July 1, 1999, an affiliate of the Partnership, Sunburst
Texas, LP ("Sunburst Texas"), a Delaware limited partnership formed on
February 26, 1999, purchased 100% of the stock of Delaware Radio, Inc.
("Delaware Radio") from Marcos Rodriguez et. al. for approximately $63.3
million. In accordance with the stock purchase agreement, Sunburst Texas
also purchased the stock of an affiliated entity for $110,000 and entered
into a noncompete and consulting agreement with Marcos Rodriguez and a
related entity for $100,000. Delaware Radio was the owner of the license,
business and intellectual property of radio station 94.1 FM KLTY, Dallas
Texas. Concurrent with the acquisition, the Partnership and Sunburst Texas
entered into a verbal agreement whereby the Partnership commenced
operation of KLTY-FM.
The consideration paid by Sunburst Texas was funded by a $57.0 million
bridge loan from HBC Broadcasting Texas, LP ("HBC") (formerly Heftel
Broadcasting Texas, LP) and cash.
On September 22, 1999, the following events occurred:
o Sunburst Texas sold 100% of the outstanding common stock of Delaware
Radio to SBT Communications Statutory Trust ("SBT") for $63.3
million. The bridge loan from HBC was repaid in full at closing.
o Pursuant to a license agreement, the Partnership licensed certain
intellectual property (e.g., adult-contemporary Christian music
programming, trademarks, copyrights, employees, advertising
relationships, etc.) from SBT for $4.0 million. The license
agreement provided for $2.5 million to be paid on the date of the
agreement. The remaining balance of $1.5 million is being paid over
a five-year term. At the end of the lease term, the Partnership has
the option to purchase the licensed property for the total cash
consideration of $100. In order to fund the initial $2.5 million
under the license agreement, the Partnership borrowed $5 million
from HBC. See Note 6.
o Sunburst Texas assigned to the Partnership (via a written
assignment), and the Partnership received, all of the rights arising
under a noncompete and consulting agreement with Marcos Rodriguez
and a related entity.
-9-
o The Partnership and SBT entered into a TBA that granted the
Partnership the rights to present programming on KLTY-FM through
January 31, 2000 for the purpose of broadcasting the acquired
intellectual property. Sunburst Texas was subsequently liquidated.
On September 23, 1999, SBT sold the license of KLTY-FM to HBC License
Corporation and HBC (collectively, the "HBC Entities"). In connection with
the sale, the TBA was assigned to the HBC Entities.
Once KRJT-FM commenced operations, programming under the TBA was
terminated and the KLTY call letters were moved to KRJT-FM.
6. LONG-TERM DEBT AND PUT WARRANT OBLIGATION
Long-term debt at June 30, 2000 consists of the following:
Bank note to Finova, interest at prime plus 1.50% (11% at
June 30,2000), quarterly principal installments ranging
from $169,125 to $676,500, beginning April 1, 2001 through
January 1, 2004, with the remaining principal due on March 2, 2004 $ 13,250,000
Bank note to Finova, interest at 12.00% per annum, quarterly
principal installments ranging from $150,000 to $600,000,
beginning April 1, 2001 through January 1, 2004, with the
remaining principal due on March 2, 2004 5,250,000
Note to HBC, variable interest (10% at June 30, 2000),
with payment due September 24, 2004 5,000,000
PIK notes to HBC issued in lieu of interest payments, variable interest
(10% at June 30, 2000), with final payment due September 24, 2004 120,685
License fee to SBT, interest at 12.00% per annum, monthly principal
and interest payments of $33,367 through October 31, 2004 (see Note 5) 1,327,931
------------
24,948,616
Less unamortized discount on Finova notes (374,000)
------------
24,574,616
Less current portion (423,883)
------------
Long-term debt $ 24,150,733
============
In March 1999, the Partnership entered into a loan agreement with Finova,
the proceeds of which were used to finance acquisitions and provide cash
for working capital needs. The loan agreement, as amended, provides for
loans up to $18,500,000. The effective rate of the $13.3 million bank note
approximates 12%.
The bank note to Finova is collateralized by a first lien on the assets of
the Partnership. The note to Finova is senior to all other long-term debt.
The loan agreement provides for penalties of up to 2% on early prepayment.
In connection with the loan agreement with Finova, the Partnership issued
a warrant to Finova entitling Finova to purchase a limited partnership
interest in the Partnership with a sharing ratio of 2.50% for an exercise
price of $100.00. The warrant may be exercised at any time prior to March
2, 2009. Finova may also elect at any time during the put period, as
defined by the agreement, to require the Partnership to repurchase the
warrant at an amount equal to the fair value of the Partnership multiplied
by the sharing ratio. In addition, the Partnership may elect at any time
during a call period, as defined by the agreement, to repurchase the
warrant from Finova at an amount equal to the fair value of the
Partnership multiplied by the sharing ratio. The fair value on the date of
issuance approximated $425,000. The fair value at June 30, 2000 was
$625,000 and the increase in fair value during the first half of 2000 has
been recorded in the statement of operations as interest expense.
-10-
The Finova debt agreement contains various affirmative and negative
covenants. Under the most restrictive covenants, the Partnership:
o May not declare or pay distributions (except tax distributions, as
defined),
o May not make capital expenditures, as defined, in excess of $50,000
in 2000 and 2001, and $100,000 thereafter,
o Must maintain a minimum ratio of operating cash flow to debt
service, as defined, and
o May not exceed a maximum ratio of principal balance to broadcast
cash flow as defined.
The covenants related to the ratios commenced on March 31, 2000.
Pursuant to a license agreement, the Partnership licensed certain
intellectual property from SBT for approximately $4.0 million. To fund a
portion of the license, the Partnership borrowed $5.0 million from HBC.
The Partnership has the right to repay without penalty all or any portion
of the principal amount of the notes at any time prior to the maturity
date (five years after the effective date, or September 24, 2004). Each
year after the year in which the senior debt payment date has occurred
(senior date payment date is the date on which all obligations of the
Partnership and Bowie-Nocona have been repaid on the senior credit
agreement, which is the loan agreement dated March 2, 1999 between the
Partnership and Finova), the Partnership shall pay to HBC an amount equal
to the lesser of (i) 50% of the excess cash flow for that year, as
defined, and (ii) the amount by which cash equivalents as of December 31
of that year exceeds $1.0 million. The payment is payable no later that
the earlier of (i) 30 days after HBC receives the Partnership's financial
statements or (ii) 120 days after year end. All partial prepayments are
first credited to accrued and unpaid interest on the notes and second to
the principal of the notes. Interest rates are as follows: 10% from
effective date of note to the first anniversary; 11% during the second
year; 12% during the third year; and 13% during the fourth year until the
maturity date. Accrued interest is payable on the first business day of
each calendar quarter beginning October 1, 1999. The Partnership must at
least pay interest at the rate of 7% per annum and can pay the remaining
interest by issuing payment-in-kind ("PIK") notes (notes issued in lieu of
interest payments). The Partnership must pay interest at the same rate of
the initial note on the unpaid principal amount of each PIK note until the
principal amount is paid in full.
The HBC loan agreement contains financial covenants and restrictions on
capital distributions, additional loans, advances or investments, and
partnership interests. Additionally, the agreement requires the
Partnership to maintain certain financial covenants related to debt
service commencing June 30, 2000.
-11-
Accrued interest on the long-term debt amounted to $562,782 at June 30,
2000. This amount is included in accrued liabilities in the accompanying
balance sheet.
At June 30, 2000, the future maturities of long-term debt are as follows:

Inspiration to program and market KDGE and KLTY, respectively, until the
asset exchange is approved by the FCC.

(b) Pro Forma Financial Information.
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED CONDENSED
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The following unaudited pro forma combined condensed consolidated financial
statements give effect to the Transaction, as defined and described as follows:
On August 24, 2000, the Company completed its acquisition of certain assets
of eight radio stations from affiliates of Clear Channel and AMFM, pursuant to
the terms of an Asset Purchase Agreement dated March 5, 2000, by and among the
Company and affiliates of Clear Channel and AMFM. The Company completed the
acquisition by acquiring certain assets of the radio stations KALC-FM (Denver,
Colorado), KXMX-FM and KEZY-AM (Anaheim, California); WKNR-AM and WRMR-AM
(Cleveland, Ohio); WYGY-FM and WBOB-AM (Cincinnati, Ohio); and KDGE-FM (Dallas,
Texas) through four subsidiaries wholly-owned, directly or indirectly, by the
Company. The acquired assets consist principally of property, plant and
equipment, FCC licenses and other intangible assets used in the radio
broadcasting business and will continue to be utilized by the Company's
subsidiaries for such purposes.
The acquired assets were purchased for $185.6 million in cash, which
purchase price was determined through arms-length negotiation. The acquisition
was financed through cash on hand, borrowings and the sale of certain assets,
including the FCC license, of radio station KLTX-AM, Los Angeles, California.
Such borrowings included a $58 million borrowing under a short-term credit
facility provided by ING (U.S.) Capital, LLC as Agent, and an additional $110.8
million borrowing under the Company's existing credit facility provided by The
Bank of New York as Administrative Agent, which existing credit facility was
amended to (i) permit up to $225 million in borrowing, (ii) replace the Company
with its wholly-owned subsidiary Salem Communications Holding Corporation as
borrower, and (iii) amend or waive certain provisions of the existing credit
facility.
On August 22, 2000, the Company sold radio station KLTX-AM, Los
Angeles, California for $29.5 million. The Company was able to treat this sale
as a Section 1031 like-kind exchange for tax purposes. The station was
exchanged, through a fiscal intermediary, for WYGY-FM, one of the Clear
Channel/AMFM stations. Audited financial statements and pro forma amounts for
WYGY-FM have not been included in this report as that station had not operated
on a stand-alone basis prior to being material or acquired by the Company.
Accordingly, historical amounts would not be material or meaningful to the
readers of this financial information. The accompanying unaudited pro forma
combined condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the
sale of KLTX-AM for $29.5 million.
Subsequent to the initial transaction, the Company announced two related
transactions.
On August 29, 2000, the Company announced that it entered into an asset
exchange agreement with Sunburst Dallas, LP ("Sunburst"). The Company will
exchange KDGE-FM, Dallas, Texas for KLTY-FM, Dallas, Texas. The two companies
signed a local marketing agreement ("LMA") to begin operating the stations on
October 1, 2000. The LMA allows Salem to operate KLTY-FM, and Sunburst to
operate KDGE-FM, before the transaction has closed. Accordingly, the
accompanying unaudited pro forma combined condensed consolidated financial
statements exclude the pro forma affect of KDGE-FM and include the pro forma
effect of KLTY-FM.
On September 18, 2000, the Company announced a definitive agreement with
Emmis Communications ("Emmis") to sell KALC-FM, Denver, Colorado for
approximately $100 million in cash. Emmis began operating the station under an
LMA on October 15, 2000. Accordingly, the accompanying unaudited pro forma
combined condensed consolidated financial statements exclude the historical
balance sheet and statement of operations of KALC-FM and reflect the receipt of
$100 million in cash to be received upon the closing of the sale expected in
January 2001.
The sale of KALC-FM is contingent upon obtaining regulatory approval, which
the Company believes is probable. However, if such approval is not obtained and
the sale not completed, the Company will reflect additional intangible assets,
borrowing and amortization and interest expense in its consolidated financial
statements.
For accounting purposes, the Company will account for the Transaction as a
purchase of assets; accordingly, the net assets of the acquired radio stations
have been adjusted to their estimated fair values based upon a preliminary
purchase price allocation.
The unaudited pro forma combined condensed consolidated balance sheet at
June 30, 2000 gives effect to the Transaction as if it occurred on June 30,
2000. The unaudited pro forma combined condensed
consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 1999 and
for the six months ended June 30, 2000 give effect to the Transaction as if it
had occurred on January 1, 1999.
The unaudited pro forma combined condensed consolidated balance sheet was
prepared based upon the historical balance sheets of the Company and the
acquired radio stations. For radio station WBOB-FM, the historical numbers
included in the pro forma combined condensed consolidated balance sheet is based
upon the statement of assets acquired as of August 24, 2000.
The unaudited pro forma combined condensed consolidated statements of
operations for the year ended December 31, 1999 and for the six months ended
June 30, 2000 was prepared based upon the historical statement of operations of
the Company, and the historical statements of operations of the acquired radio
stations. For radio stations WRMR-AM, WKNR-AM and KLTY-FM, the amounts included
in the pro forma combined condensed consolidated statements of operations for
the year ended December 31, 1999 represent the results of operations for the
twelve months ended June 30, 2000, which the Company believes, as a result of
numerous ownership changes during the twelve months ended December 31, 1999,
provides a more meaningful presentation for the purposes of the pro forma
combined condensed consolidated statement of operations for the year ended
December 31, 1999. For the six months ended June 30, 2000, the pro forma
combined condensed consolidated statements of operations for WRMR-AM and WKNR-AM
are the twelve months amounts divided by two, which the Company believes
approximates the historical activity of these stations during the six months
ended June 30, 2000.
Certain amounts in the historical financial statements of the acquired
radio stations have been reclassified to conform to the Company's presentation.
The unaudited pro forma combined condensed consolidated financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the historical financial
statements of the Company and the acquired radio stations.
The unaudited pro forma combined condensed consolidated financial
statements are not necessarily indicative of the actual results of operations or
financial position that would have occurred had the Transaction occurred on the
dates indicated nor are they necessarily indicative of future operating results
or financial position.
