NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Salem Communications Corporation (“Salem” or the “Company”) include the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The Company, excluding its subsidiaries, is herein referred to as Parent. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Information with respect to the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 is unaudited. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full year. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.

The balance sheet at December 31, 2006 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP.

NOTE 2. RECLASSIFICATIONS

Certain reclassifications were made to the prior period financial statements to conform to the current period presentation.

These reclassifications include the accounting for WITH-AM, Baltimore, Maryland, WBGB-FM, Jacksonville, Florida, WJGR-AM, Jacksonville, Florida, WZNZ-AM, Jacksonville, Florida, and WZAZ-AM, Jacksonville, Florida, as discontinued operations as discussed in Note 3. The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations reflect the results of these stations as discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2006. Additionally, as previously reported for the three months ended March 31, 2006, the operating results for WTSJ-AM, Cincinnati, Ohio, WBOB-AM, Cincinnati, Ohio, and WBTK-AM, Richmond, Virginia, are presented as discontinued operations. The assets of WTSJ-AM and WBOB-AM were sold on February 10, 2006, and the results of operations for 2006 are presented as discontinued operations though the date of the sale.

NOTE 3. ACQUISITIONS AND OTHER SIGNIFICANT TRANSACTIONS

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2006 reflect WITH-AM as a discontinued operation.

NOTE 4. STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

The Company has one stock incentive plan. The Amended and Restated 1999 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) allows the Company to grant stock options to employees, directors, officers and advisors of the Company. A maximum of 3,100,000 shares are authorized under the Plan. Options generally vest over four or five years and have a maximum term of five years from the vesting date. The Plan provides that vesting may be accelerated in certain corporate transactions of the Company. The Plan provides that the Board of Directors, or a committee appointed by the Board, has discretion, subject to certain limits, to modify the terms of outstanding options. In accordance with SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS No. 123R”), the Company recognizes compensation expense related to the estimated fair value of stock options granted.

The Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R) on January 1, 2006, using the modified-prospective-transition method. Under this transition method, compensation expense recognized subsequent to adoption includes: (a) compensation expense for all share-based awards granted prior to, but not yet vested, as of December 31, 2005 based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS No. 123 and (b) compensation expense for all share-based awards granted subsequent to December 31, 2005, based on the grant-date fair values estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R). In accordance with the modified-prospective-transition method, the Company’s results of operations for prior periods have not been adjusted to reflect the impact of SFAS 123(R).

The following table reflects the components of stock-based compensation expense recognized in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2006		2007

Stock option compensation expense included in corporate expenses	$	1,073	$	507
Restricted stock units compensation expense included in corporate expenses		22		16
Stock option compensation expense included in broadcast operating expenses		207		207
Stock option compensation expense included in non-broadcast operating expenses		7		24
Total stock-based compensation expense	$	1,309	$	754
Tax benefit from stock-based compensation expense		-527		-345
Total stock-based compensation expense net of tax benefit	$	782	$	409

Employee stock option and restricted stock grants

The Plan provides for grants of stock options to employees. The option exercise price is set at the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant, and the related number of shares granted is fixed at that point in time. The Plan also provides for grants of restricted stock and restricted stock units. Grants of these equity instruments generally vest over a four year period. In addition, stock option awards expire five years from the date of grant. Eligible employees generally receive stock options units annually with the number of shares and type of instrument generally determined by the employee’s salary grade and performance level. In addition, certain management and professional level employees typically receive a stock option grant upon commencement of employment. Non-employee directors of the company have received restricted stock units that vest one year from the date of issuance in addition to stock options that vest one year from the date of issuance.

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option valuation model to estimate the grant date fair value of stock options. The expected volatility reflects the consideration of the historical volatility of the Company stock as determined by the closing price over the preceding two years. Upon the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) the expected term of the option is based on evaluations of historical and expected future employee exercise behavior. The risk-free interest rates for periods within the expected life of the option are based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect during the period the options were granted. The weighted-average assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the stock options using the Black-Scholes option valuation model were as follows for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2006			2007
Expected volatility		48.3	%		67.0	%
Expected dividends		0.0	%		0.0	%
Expected term (in years)		5 - 8			5 - 8
Risk-free interest rate		4.73	%		4.53	%

NOTE 4. STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN (Continued)

Stock option information with respect to our stock-based compensation plans during the three months ended March 31, 2007 is as follows (dollars in thousands, except per share amounts):

Options	Shares	Weighted Average Exercise Price	Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term	Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Outstanding at January 1, 2007	2,146,564	$ 22.30		$ 47,873
Granted	279,650	11.80		3,300
Exercised	(2,500)	11.81		5

Exercisable at March 31, 2007	1,389,425	$ 24.70	3.0 years	$ 34,313

The fair values of shares of restricted stock are determined based on the closing price of the Company common stock on the grant dates. Information regarding our restricted stock unit grants for the three months ended March 31, 2007 is as follows:

Restricted Stock Units	Shares	Weighted Average Exercise Price
Non-Vested at January 1, 2007	6,000	$ 11.15
Granted	—	—
Vested	—	—
Forfeited	—	—
Non-Vested at March 31, 2007	6,000	$ 11.15

NOTE 5. OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)

During the quarter ended March 31, 2007, the Company recognized other comprehensive loss of approximately $0.3 million, net of tax benefits of $0.2 million, related to the change in fair value of its three cash flow hedges.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2006, the Company recognized other comprehensive income of approximately $1.0 million, net of tax of $0.7 million, related to the change in fair value of its three cash flow hedges.

NOTE 6. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159

On February 15, 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, including an amendment of FASB Statements No. 115.” SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose, at specified election dates, to measure eligible items at fair value (the “fair value option”). A business entity shall report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting period. SFAS No. 159 is effective beginning January 1, 2008. The Company believes that the adoption of SFAS No. 159 will not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial position.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157

On September 15, 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” which is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. This statement defines fair value, specifies the acceptable methods for determining fair value, and expands disclosure requirements regarding fair value measurements. SFAS No. 159 is effective beginning January 1, 2008. The Company believes that the adoption of SFAS No. 159 will not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial position.

NOTE 7. EQUITY TRANSACTIONS

The Company’s Board of Directors authorized a $25.0 million share repurchase program in May 2005. In February 2006, the Board of Directors increased Salem’s existing share repurchase program to permit the repurchase of up to an additional $25.0 million of shares of Salem’s Class A common stock.

As discussed in Note 4, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R) as of January 1, 2006. As a result, $1.3 million and $0.8 million of stock-based compensation expense has been recorded to additional paid-in capital for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2007, respectively.

NOTE 10. BASIC AND DILUTED EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share has been computed using the weighted average number of Class A and Class B shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares of Class A and Class B common stock outstanding during the period plus the dilutive effects of stock options.

Options to purchase 2,192,544 and 2,394,764 shares of Class A common stock were outstanding at March 31, 2006 and 2007, respectively. Diluted weighted average shares outstanding exclude outstanding stock options whose exercise price is in excess of the average price of the Company’s stock price. These options are excluded from the respective computation of diluted net income per share because their effect would be anti-dilutive.

NOTE 11. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

The Company is exposed to fluctuations in interest rates. Salem actively monitors these fluctuations and uses derivative instruments from time to time to manage the related risk. In accordance with our risk management strategy, Salem uses derivative instruments only for the purpose of managing risk associated with an asset, liability, committed transaction, or probable forecasted transaction that is identified by management. The Company’s use of derivative instruments may result in short-term gains or losses that may increase the volatility of Salem’s earnings.

Under SFAS No. 133 “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, as amended, the accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument at each new measurement date is dependent upon its intended use. The change in the fair value of a derivative instrument designated as a hedge of the exposure to changes in the fair value of a recognized asset or liability or a firm commitment, referred to as a fair value hedge, is recognized as gain or loss in earnings in the period of the change together with an offsetting gain or loss for the change in fair value of the hedged item attributable to the risk being hedged. The change in the fair value of a derivative instrument designated as a hedge of the exposure of the variability in expected cash flows of recognized assets, liabilities or of unrecognized forecasted transactions, referred to as a cash flow hedge, is recognized as other comprehensive income. The differential paid or received on the interest rate swaps is recognized in earnings as an adjustment to interest expense.

During 2004 and through February 18, 2005, the Company had an interest rate swap agreement with a notional principal amount of $66.0 million. This agreement related to its $94.4 million 9% Notes. This agreement was scheduled to expire in 2011 when the 9% Notes were to mature, and effectively swapped the 9.0% fixed interest rate on $66.0 million of the 9% Notes for a floating rate equal to the LIBOR rate plus 3.09%. On February 18, 2005, the Company sold its entire interest in this swap and received a payment of approximately $3.7 million, which was amortized as a reduction of interest expense over the remaining life of the 9% Notes. On July 6, 2006, the Company completed the redemption of the remainder of its outstanding 9% senior subordinated notes. As a result of the redemption, the Company wrote off the remaining balance of the buyout premium of approximately $2.7 million as a reduction of the loss on the early redemption of long term debt. Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2006, was reduced by $0.1 million related to the amortization of the buyout premium received.

During 2004, the Company also had a second interest rate swap agreement with a notional principal amount of $24.0 million. This agreement related to its 9% Notes. This agreement was to expire in 2011 when the 9% Notes were to mature, and effectively swapped the 9.0% fixed interest rate on $24.0 million of the 9% Notes for a floating rate equal to the LIBOR rate plus 4.86%. On August 20, 2004, the Company sold its interest in $14.0 million of this swap. As a result of this transaction, the Company paid and capitalized $0.3 million in buyout premium, which was to be amortized into interest expense over the remaining life of the 9% Notes. On October 22, 2004, the Company sold its remaining $10.0 million interest in this swap. As a result of this second transaction, the Company paid and capitalized approximately $110,000 in buyout premium, which was to be amortized into interest expense over the remaining life of the 9% Notes. On July 6, 2006, the Company completed the redemption of the remainder of its outstanding 9% Notes. Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2006 included approximately $16,000 related to the amortization of the capitalized buyout premium.

On April 8, 2005, the Company entered into an interest rate swap arrangement for the notional principal amount of $30.0 million whereby we will pay a fixed interest rate of 4.99% as compared to LIBOR on a bank credit facility borrowing. Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2007, was reduced by approximately $28,000 as a result of the difference between the interest rates. As of March 31, 2007, the Company recorded a liability for the fair value of the interest swap of approximately $104,000. This amount, net of income tax benefits of approximately $42,000, is reflected in other comprehensive income, as the Company has designated the interest rate swap as a cash flow hedge. The effective date of this interest rate swap was July 1, 2006 and the expiration date is July 1, 2012.

On April 26, 2005, the Company entered into a second interest rate swap arrangement for the notional principal amount of $30.0 million whereby we will pay a fixed interest rate of 4.70% as compared to LIBOR on a bank credit facility borrowing. Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2007, was reduced by approximately $49,000 as a result of the difference between the interest rates. As of March 31, 2007, the Company recorded an asset for the fair value of the interest swap of approximately $0.3 million. This amount, net of income taxes of approximately $0.1 million, is reflected in other comprehensive income, as the Company has designated the interest rate swap as a cash flow hedge. The effective date of this interest rate swap was July 1, 2006 and the expiration date is July 1, 2012.

On May 5, 2005, the Company entered into a third interest rate swap arrangement for the notional principal amount of $30.0 million whereby we will pay a fixed interest rate of 4.53% as compared to LIBOR on a bank credit facility borrowing. Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2007, was reduced by approximately $62,000 as a result of the difference between the interest rates. As of March 31, 2007, the Company recorded an asset for the fair value of the interest swap of approximately $0.6 million. This amount, net of income taxes of approximately $0.2 million, is reflected in other comprehensive income, as the Company has designated the interest rate swap as a cash flow hedge. The effective date of this interest rate swap was July 1, 2006 and the expiration date is July 1, 2012.

Interest Rate Caps

On October 18, 2006, the Company purchased two interest rate caps for $0.1 million to mitigate exposure to rising interest rates. The first interest rate cap covers $50.0 million of borrowings under the credit facilities for a three year period. The second interest rate cap covers $50.0 million of borrowings under the credit facilities for a four year period. Both interest rate caps are at 7.25%. The caps do not qualify for hedge accounting and accordingly, all changes in fair value have been included as a component of interest expense. Interest expense of approximately $24,000 was recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2007 related to our interest rate caps.

NOTE 12. INCOME TAXES

In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN No. 48”). FIN No. 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“FAS No. 109”). This interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN No. 48 also provides guidance on derecognition of tax benefits, classification on the balance sheet, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. The Company adopted FIN No. 48 effective January 1, 2007. In accordance with FIN No. 48, paragraph 19, the Company has decided to classify interest and penalties as a component of tax expense. As a result of the implementation of FIN No. 48, the Company recognized a $2.0 million increase in liability for unrecognized tax benefits, which was accounted for as a reduction to the January 1, 2007 balance of retained earnings.

The Company files numerous consolidated and separate income tax returns in the United States Federal jurisdiction and in many state jurisdictions. The Company is no longer subject to US Federal income tax examinations for years before 2003 and is no longer subject to state and local, or income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2002.

The Company has unrecognized tax benefits of approximately $3.0 million as of January 1, 2007 and, if recognized, would result in a reduction of the Company's effective tax rate. Interest and penalties are immaterial at the date of adoption and are included in the unrecognized tax benefits. The Company recorded an increase of its unrecognized tax benefits of approximately $0.3 million as of March 31, 2007.

NOTE 13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company and its subsidiaries, incident to its business activities, are parties to a number of legal proceedings, lawsuits, arbitration and other claims. Such matters are subject to many uncertainties and outcomes that are not predictable with assurance. Also, the Company maintains insurance which may provide coverage for such matters. Consequently, the Company is unable to ascertain the ultimate aggregate amount of monetary liability or the financial impact with respect to these matters. The Company believes, at this time, that the final resolution of these matters, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s annual consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE 14. SEGMENT DATA

SFAS No. 131, “Disclosures About Segments of An Enterprise and Related Information” requires companies to provide certain information about their operating segments. The Company has one reportable operating segment - radio broadcasting. The remaining non-reportable segments consist of our Internet businesses, SWN and Townhall.com, and our publishing businesses, Salem Publishing and Xulon Press, which do not meet the reportable segment quantitative thresholds and accordingly are aggregated in the following tables as non-broadcast. The radio broadcasting segment also operates various radio networks.

NOTE 15. CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The following is the consolidating information of Salem Communications Corporation for purposes of presenting the financial position and operating results of HoldCo as the issuer of the 7¾% Notes and its guarantor subsidiaries on a consolidated basis and the financial position and operating results of the other guarantors, which are consolidated within the Company. Separate financial information of HoldCo on an unconsolidated basis is not presented because HoldCo has substantially no assets, operations or cash other than its investments in subsidiaries. Each guarantor has given its full and unconditional guarantee, on a joint and several basis, of indebtedness under the 7¾% Notes. HoldCo and AcquisitionCo are 100% owned by Salem and HoldCo owns 100% of all of its subsidiaries. All subsidiaries of HoldCo are guarantors. The net assets of HoldCo are subject to certain restrictions which, among other things, require HoldCo to maintain certain financial covenant ratios, and restrict HoldCo and its subsidiaries from transferring funds in the form of dividends, loans or advances without the consent of the holders of the 7¾% Notes. The restricted net assets of HoldCo as of March 31, 2007, amounted to $200.3 million. Included in intercompany receivables of HoldCo presented in the consolidating balance sheet below is $65.3 million of amounts due from Salem and AcquisitionCo as of March 31, 2007.
