NOTE 5. SIGNIFICANT TRANSACTIONS

On June 1, 2012, we redeemed $17.5 million of our 9 5/8% senior secured second lien notes (“95/8% Notes”) for $18.0 million, or at a price equal to 103% of the face value. This transaction resulted in a $0.9 million pre-tax loss on the early retirement of debt, including approximately $80,000 of unamortized discount and $0.3 million of bond issues costs associated with the 9 5/8% Notes.

 

On May 29, 2012, we acquired an FM translator and related construction permits for $0.3 million that will be used in our Detroit market.

On May 15, 2012, we purchased Churchangel.com and rchurch.com for $0.2 million. These Internet sites are operated under SWN to enhance and build our relationships with local churches and pastors.

On April 10, 2012, we completed the acquisition of radio station WKDL-AM in Warrenton, Virginia for $30,000. We began programming the station upon the close of the transaction.

On March 16, 2012, we completed the sale of radio station WBZS-AM in Pawtucket, Rhode Island for $0.8 million in cash. The sale resulted in a pre-tax gain of $0.2 million. The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations reflect the operating results of this entity through the date of the sale.

On March 7, 2012, our Board of Directors authorized and declared a quarterly dividend in the amount of $0.035 per share on Class A and Class B common stock. Quarterly common stock dividends of $0.9 million and $0.9 million or $0.035 per share, were paid on March 31, 2012 and June 29, 2012, respectively, to all common stockholders of record as of indicated date. We anticipate paying quarterly common stock dividends in March, June, September and December of each year. Based on the number of shares currently outstanding we expect to pay total annual common stock dividends of approximately $3.4 million.

On January 13, 2012, we completed the acquisition of radio station KTNO-AM, Dallas, Texas for $2.2 million. We began programming the station pursuant to a TBA with the current owner on November 1, 2011.

Under the acquisition method of accounting as specified in FASB ASC Topic 805, the total acquisition consideration is allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as of the date of the transaction. We obtained an independent third-party appraisal of the estimated fair value of the acquired net assets as of the acquisition date for the significant transactions noted. Property, plant and equipment are recorded at the estimated fair value and depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Intangible assets are also recorded at their estimated fair value and amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. The total acquisition consideration was allocated to the net assets acquired as follows:

Based on operating results that did not meet our expectations, we ceased operating Samaritan Fundraising in December 2011. As of December 31, 2011, all employees of this entity were terminated. As a result of our decision to close operations, there will be no material cash flows associated with this entity and we have no ongoing or further involvement in the operations of this entity.
