(Unaudited)
1. Organization of the Company
The operations of Univision Communications Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries (the "Company"), the leading Spanish-language media company in the United States, include Univision Network, the most-watched Spanish-language television network in the United States; Univision Television Group ("UTG"), which owns and operates 16 full-power and 6 low-power television stations ("UTG O&Os"), including full-power stations in 11 of the top 15 U.S. Hispanic markets; TeleFutura, which consists of the TeleFutura Network, the new 24-hour Spanish-language broadcast television network designed to counter-program traditional Spanish-language lineups and draw additional viewers to Spanish language television and TeleFutura Television Group ("TTG"), which owns and operates 14 full-power and 14 low-power television stations ("TTG O&Os"), including full-power stations in 8 of the top 10 U.S. Hispanic markets; Galavisión, the country's leading Spanish-language cable network; Univision Music Group, which includes a 50% interest in Disa Records ("Disa"), one of the leading music publishing and recording companies in Mexico and Univision Online, Inc. ("Univision Online"), which operates the Company's Internet portal, Univision.com. Univision Network's signal covers 97 percent of all U.S. Hispanic households through UTG O&Os, Univision Network's affiliates (16 full-power and 27 low-power stations) and cable affiliates. TeleFutura Network's signal covers approximately 72% of all U.S. Hispanic households through TTG O&Os and TeleFutura Network's affiliates (1 full-power and 15 low-power stations).
UTG's 15 full-power, Spanish-language television stations are located in Los Angeles, New York, Miami, Houston, Chicago, Dallas, San Francisco, San Antonio, Phoenix, Fresno, Sacramento, Cleveland, Atlanta, Philadelphia and Killeen, and the Company's one English-language, full-power television station is located in Bakersfield. UTG also owns and operates 6 low-power, Spanish-language television stations serving Austin, Bakersfield, Fort Worth, Phoenix, Santa Rosa and Tucson. The Company's Spanish-language television stations are affiliated with Univision Network, and the English-language station is affiliated with UPN (United Paramount Network).
The TTG's 14 full-power, Spanish-language television stations are located in Los Angeles, New York (2 stations), Miami, Houston, Chicago, Dallas, San Francisco, Phoenix, Washington, Tampa, Orlando, Boston, and Tucson. TTG also owns and operates 14 low-power, Spanish-language television stations serving Bakersfield (2 stations), Hartford, Lompoc, Paso Robles, Philadelphia, Phoenix, San Antonio (3 stations), San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Santa Maria and Tucson.
2. Recent Developments
In connection with the acquisition of the USA Broadcasting stations in 2001, the Company made its final payment of approximately $592,000,000 in January 2002, with funds from its existing credit facility and the proceeds from the issuance of preferred stock.
During the three months ended March 31, 2002, 375,000 redeemable convertible preferred stock shares were redeemed and converted into a total of 10,594,500 shares of Class A Common Stock. In connection with the issuance of the redeemable convertible preferred stock, the Company incurred issuance costs of $5,555,000 primarily related to legal fees.
On October 11, 2001, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement to acquire stations in Killeen and El Paso, Texas from White Knight Broadcasting for approximately $30,000,000.
7
Concurrently, the Company assigned its right to acquire the El Paso station to Entravision Communications Corporation ("Entravision") for approximately $18,000,000. In January 2002, the Company acquired the Killeen station for $12,000,000 and Entravision acquired the El Paso station.
At December 31, 2001, the Company had a minority interest of $36,540,000 in a San Francisco station, which was part of the USA Broadcasting acquisition. In January 2002, the Company purchased the remaining interest in the San Francisco station for approximately $41,000,000.
Effective February 1, 2002, the Company entered into a time brokerage agreement with Raycom Media, Inc. ("Raycom") to manage its two stations in Puerto Rico. Under the agreement, the Company will program WLII-TV 11 in San Juan and WSUR-TV 9 in Ponce, collectively branded as "Teleonce," on behalf of Raycom. The new programming under the agreement will also be telecast through WORA-TV 5 in Mayaguez, the long-term western affiliate to Teleonce. The management fee to the Company will be approximately $500,000 per year. In addition, the Company entered into an option agreement that expires on December 31, 2004 to acquire these stations for $190,000,000. The purchase price will be reduced if certain earnings targets are met during the period prior to the expiration of the option agreement.
3. Options & Treasury Stock
During the three months ended March 31, 2002, options were exercised for 1,849,900 shares of Class A Common Stock, resulting in an increase to Common Stock of $18,499 and an increase to Paid-in-capital of $48,248,000, which included a tax benefit associated with the transactions of $21,810,000. During the three months ended March 31, 2002, 375,000 redeemable convertible preferred stock shares held by Grupo Televisa, S.A. and its affiliates ("Televisa") were redeemed and converted into a total of 10,594,500 shares of Class A Common Stock, resulting in an increase to Common Stock of approximately $106,000 and to Paid-in-capital of $374,894,000. In connection with the issuance of the redeemable convertible preferred stock, the Company incurred issuance costs of $5,555,000 primarily related to legal fees, which decreased Paid-in-capital.

6. New Emerging Issues Task Force Requirement
In November 2001, the Emerging Issues Task Force published Issue 01-09 "Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer or a Reseller of the Vendor's Products" ("EITF 01-09"). EITF 01-09 was effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2002. EITF 01-09 clarifies the income statement classification of costs incurred by a vendor in connection with the reseller's purchase or promotion of the vendor's products, resulting in certain cooperative advertising and product placement costs previously classified as selling expenses to be reflected as a reduction of revenues earned from that activity. The new guidance impacts primarily the Company's cable network, Galavisión, which amortized certain launch costs as selling expenses. As a result of applying the provisions of EITF 01-09, the Company's revenues and selling costs each were reduced by an equal amount of approximately $380,000 in the first quarter of 2002. Had this accounting change been in effect in 2001, Company's revenues and selling costs each would have been reduced by an equal amount of approximately $369,000 in the first quarter of 2001.
7. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets Amortization
On June 30, 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 141 "Business Combinations" and SFAS No. 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets". SFAS No. 141 requires all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 to be accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and eliminates the pooling method of accounting. SFAS No. 141 will not have an impact on the Company's business since the Company has historically accounted for all business combinations using the purchase method of accounting. With the adoption of SFAS No. 142, goodwill and other intangibles with an indefinite life, such as broadcast licenses, associated with acquisitions consummated prior to June 30, 2001 ceased being amortized after December 31, 2001 and those related to acquisitions after June 30, 2001 will never be amortized. However, goodwill and other intangibles will be subject to at least an annual assessment for impairment and more frequently if circumstances indicate a possible impairment exists. The Company has evaluated its goodwill and other intangible assets in accordance with the guidelines of SFAS No. 142 as it relates to assessing impairment and has concluded that it does not have an impairment loss related to these assets. In addition, under SFAS No. 142, an acquired intangible asset should be separately recognized if the benefit of the intangible is obtained through contractual or other legal rights, or if the intangible asset can be sold, transferred, licensed, rented, or exchanged. Intangible assets with measurable lives will be amortized over their respective useful lives.
The adoption of SFAS No. 142 has resulted in a substantial reduction of intangible amortization expense for the three months ended March 31, 2002 since the Company's broadcast licenses, affiliation agreements and goodwill are no longer being amortized by the Company. In the accompanying statements of income, the Company had amortization of intangible assets of $322,000 and $9,670,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Had this accounting change been in effect in 2001, amortization of intangible assets would have been $292,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2001. In order to enhance comparability, below is the unaudited effect the accounting change would have had on reported income before cumulative effect of accounting change of

unconsolidated subsidiary available to common stockholders and earnings-per-share amounts had SFAS No. 142 been in effect in 2001:

8. Subsequent Events
On April 16, 2002, the Company announced that the Univision Music Group had completed its acquisition of Fonovisa Music Group ("Fonovisa"), creating the leading Latin music company in the U.S. and Puerto Rico with more than a 35% market share.

UNIVISION COMMUNICATIONS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Form 10-Q
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Univision Communications Inc., together with its wholly owned subsidiaries (the "Company"), operated during the first three months of 2002 in three business segments:
Substantially all of the Company's revenues have been derived from the Broadcasting segment, including the three networks, the 22 owned-and-operated stations that comprise the Univision Television Group ("UTG"), and the 28 owned-and-operated stations that comprise the TeleFutura Television Group ("TTG").
UTG's net revenues are derived from its owned-and-operated stations (collectively, the "UTG O&Os") and include gross advertising revenues generated from the sale of national and local spot advertising time, net of agency commissions. Univision Network's net revenues include gross advertising revenues generated from the sale of Univision Network advertising, net of agency commissions and station compensation to Univision Network's affiliates (16 full-power and 27 low-power stations), as well as subscriber fees.
TTG's net revenues are derived from its owned-and-operated stations (collectively, the "TTG O&Os") and include gross advertising revenues generated from the sale of national and local spot advertising time, net of agency commissions. TeleFutura Network's net revenues include gross advertising revenues generated from the sale of TeleFutura Network advertising, net of agency commissions. TeleFutura Network has 1 full-power and 15 low-power affiliates in addition to its 28 owned-and-operated stations.
Also included in net revenues are Galavisión's gross advertising revenues, net of agency commissions, Galavisión's subscriber fee revenues, net revenues of Univision Online, net revenues from Univision Music Group, and other revenues.
Direct operating expenses consist primarily of programming, news and general operating costs.
"EBITDA" is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and non-recurring charges and is the sum of operating income plus depreciation and amortization. The Company has included EBITDA data because such data is commonly used as a measure of performance for broadcast companies and is also used by investors to measure a company's ability to
13
service debt. EBITDA is not, and should not be used as, an indicator of or an alternative to operating income, net income or cash flow as reflected in the consolidated financial statements, is not a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Critical Accounting Policies
Program Rights for Television Broadcast
Costs incurred in connection with the production of or purchase of rights to programs to be broadcast within one year are classified as current assets, while costs of those programs to be broadcast subsequently are considered non-current. Program costs are charged to operating expense as the programs are broadcast.
Revenue Recognition
Net revenues comprise gross revenues from the Company's broadcast, cable, internet and music businesses, including subscriber fees, a network service fee payable to the Company by the affiliated stations, less agency commissions and compensation costs paid to certain affiliated stations. The Company's gross revenues are recognized when advertising spots are aired for its broadcast and cable businesses and served for its Internet business. Univision Music Group gross revenues are recognized based on product shipments to distributors less an allowance for returns. Substantially all of the Company's net revenues are derived from the advertising revenues of its broadcast and cable businesses.
Accounting for Intangibles
On June 30, 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS') No. 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets". Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill and other intangibles with an indefinite life, such as broadcast licenses, associated with acquisitions consummated prior to June 30, 2001 ceased being amortized after December 31, 2001 and those related to acquisitions after June 30, 2001 will never be amortized. However, goodwill and other intangibles will be subject to at least an annual assessment for impairment and more frequently if circumstances indicate a possible impairment exists. The Company has evaluated its goodwill and other intangible assets in accordance with the guidelines of SFAS No. 142 as it relates to assessing impairment and has concluded that it does not have an impairment loss related to these assets. In addition, under SFAS No. 142, an acquired intangible asset should be separately recognized if the benefit of the intangible is obtained through contractual or other legal rights, or if the intangible asset can be sold, transferred, licensed, rented, or exchanged. Intangible assets with measurable lives will be amortized over their respective useful lives.
The adoption of SFAS No. 142 has resulted in a substantial reduction of intangible amortization expense in the three months ended March 31, 2002 since the Company's broadcast licenses, affiliation agreements and goodwill are no longer being amortized by the Company. On an as reported basis, the Company had amortization of intangible assets of $322,000 and $9,670,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Had this accounting change been in effect in 2001, amortization of intangible assets would have been $292,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2001.
Three Months Ended March 31, 2002 ("2002"), Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2001 ("2001")
Revenues. Net revenues were $214,449,000 in 2002 compared to $194,865,000 in 2001, an increase of $19,584,000 or 10.1%. The Company's broadcast segment revenues were $209,163,000 in 2002
14
compared to $194,177,000 in 2001, an increase of $14,986,000 or 7.7%. Univision Network experienced a 4% decline in revenues due in part to the general softness in the advertising market and the launch of our new TeleFutura Network. UTG O&Os had an 8% increase in revenues, attributable primarily to the Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, San Antonio and Dallas stations, as well as from our new Atlanta station, offset in part by slight decreases in revenues from the Miami and New York stations. TeleFutura had revenues of $13,433,000 in 2002 since its launch on January 14, 2002. The Company's Internet segment had revenues of $2,611,000 in 2002 compared to $688,000 in 2001, an increase of $1,923,000. The Company's music segment, which began operations in April 2001, generated revenues of $2,675,000 in 2002.
Expenses. Direct operating expenses, which include corporate charges of $105,000 and $79,000 in 2002 and 2001, respectively, increased to $92,396,000 in 2002 from $89,415,000 in 2001, an increase of $2,981,000 or 3.3%. The Company's broadcast segment direct operating expenses were $86,993,000 in 2002 compared to $82,599,000 in 2001, an increase of $4,394,000 or 5.3%. The increase is primarily the result of increased programming, technical, sports and news charges related to TeleFutura of $12,712,000, offset in part by decreased sports programming costs related to soccer of $618,000, decreased license fees paid under our program license agreements of $427,000 and the elimination of 2001 costs related to a cost reduction charge of $5,319,000 and cancelled shows of $2,123,000. The Company's Internet segment had direct operating expenses of $3,812,000 in 2002 compared to $6,816,000 in 2001, a decrease of $3,004,000 primarily due to a reduction in hosting and content costs. The Company's music segment had direct operating expenses of $1,591,000 in 2002. As a percentage of net revenues, direct operating expenses decreased from 45.9% in 2001 to 43.1% in 2002.
Selling, general and administrative expenses, which include corporate charges of $3,711,000 and $2,897,000 in 2002 and 2001, respectively, increased to $67,233,000 in 2002 from $57,672,000 in 2001, an increase of $9,561,000 or 16.6%. The Company's broadcast segment selling, general and administrative expenses were $62,068,000 in 2002 compared to $52,875,000 in 2001, an increase of $9,193,000 or 17.4%. The increase is primarily the result of selling, research and general and administrative cost related to TeleFutura of $12,075,000 and an increase in compensation costs of $3,721,000, offset in part by the elimination of 2001 costs related to a cost reduction charge of $6,573,000 and decreased selling costs of $111,000. The Company's Internet segment had selling, general and administrative expenses of $2,886,000 in 2002 compared to $4,797,000 in 2001, a decrease of $1,911,000 primarily related to lower promotion costs. The Company's music segment had selling, general and administrative expenses of $2,279,000 in 2002. As a percentage of net revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses increased from 29.6% in 2001 to 31.4% in 2002.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization decreased to $14,172,000 in 2002 from $17,972,000 in 2001, a decrease of $3,800,000 or 21.1%. On January 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," which resulted in a substantial reduction of intangible amortization expense for the three months ended March 31, 2002 since the Company's broadcast licenses, affiliation agreements and goodwill are no longer being amortized by the Company. The Company had amortization of intangible assets of $322,000 and $9,670,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, a decrease of $9,348,000. Had SFAS No. 142 been in effect in 2001, amortization of intangible assets would have been $292,000 in 2001. The Company's depreciation expense increased to $13,850,000 in 2002 from $8,302,000 in 2001, an increase of $5,548,000 primarily due to increased capital expenditures. Depreciation and amortization for the broadcast segment decreased by $3,830,000 to $12,776,000 in 2002 from $16,606,000 in 2001 due primarily to lower goodwill and other intangible amortization resulting from the adoption of SFAS No. 142, which was offset in part by increased depreciation related to higher capital expenditures. Depreciation and amortization for the Internet segment increased by $5,000 to $1,371,000 in 2002 from $1,366,000 in 2001 due primarily to increased depreciation related to higher capital expenditures. Depreciation and amortization for the music segment was $25,000 in 2002.
15
Operating Income. As a result of the above factors, operating income increased to $40,648,000 in 2002 from $29,806,000 in 2001, an increase of $10,842,000 or 36.4%. The Company's broadcast segment had operating income of $47,326,000 in 2002 and $42,097,000 in 2001, an increase of $5,229,000, which includes an operating loss for TeleFutura of $14,282,000. The Company's Internet segment had an operating loss of $5,458,000 in 2002 and $12,291,000 in 2001, an improvement of $6,833,000. The Company's music segment had an operating loss of $1,220,000. As a percentage of net revenues, operating income increased from 15.3% in 2001 to 19.0% in 2002.
Interest Expense, Net. Interest expense increased to $21,449,000 in 2002 from $9,943,000 in 2001, an increase of $11,506,000 or 115.7%. The increase is due primarily to increased borrowings as a result of the acquisition of the TeleFutura stations.
Equity Loss in Unconsolidated Subsidiaries and Other. Equity loss in unconsolidated subsidiaries and other decreased to $6,663,000 in 2002 from $10,859,000 in 2001, an improvement of $4,196,000. The improvement related primarily to the Company's investment in Entravision Communications Corporation ("Entravision").
Gain on Change in Entravision Ownership Interest. Gain on change in Entravision ownership interest decreased to $1,748,000 in 2002 from $3,112,000 in 2001, a decrease of $1,364,000. These gains were derived in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") guidelines, Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 51 "Accounting for the Sale of Stock by a Subsidiary," which allows the Company to recognize gains and losses from its subsidiaries stock issuances.
Provision for Income Taxes. In 2002, the Company reported an income tax provision of $5,703,000, representing $2,900,000 of current tax expense and $2,803,000 of deferred tax expense. In 2001, the Company reported an income tax provision of $5,771,000, representing $5,471,000 of current tax expense and $300,000 of deferred tax expense. The total effective tax rate was 42.9% in 2002 and 49.0% in 2001. The Company's effective tax rate in 2002 is lower than in 2001 primarily as a result of the adoption of SFAS No. 142, which eliminated the amortization of non-deductible goodwill and other intangibles for book purposes.
Cumulative Effect of Accounting Change of Unconsolidated Subsidiary. Because the Company accounts for its investment in Entravision under the equity method of accounting, in 2002, the Company recorded its share of Entravision's SFAS No. 142 impairment loss, related to Entravision's write-down of their goodwill and intangible assets, as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle totaling $8,476,000, net of a deferred tax benefit of $5,769,000.
Net (Loss) Income. As a result of the above factors, the Company reported a net loss in 2002 of $877,000 compared to net income of $6,007,000 in 2001, a decrease of $6,884,000. The 2002 net loss includes a cumulative effect of accounting change charge of $8,476,000 and 2001 net income includes a cost reduction charge of $7,075,000.
Corporate Charges. Corporate charges increased to $3,816,000 in 2002 from $2,976,000 in 2001, an increase of $840,000 or 28.2%. The increase is primarily due to costs associated with compensation and benefits. As a percentage of net revenues, corporate charges increased from 1.5% in 2001 to 1.8% in 2002.
EBITDA. EBITDA increased to $54,820,000 in 2002 from $47,778,000 in 2001, an increase of $7,042,000 or 14.7%. As a percentage of net revenues, EBITDA increased from 24.5% in 2001 to 25.6% in 2002. The 2001 EBITDA includes a cost reduction charge of $11,892,000.
16
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's primary source of cash flow is its broadcasting operations. Funds for debt service, capital expenditures and operations historically have been provided by income from operations and by borrowings.
Capital expenditures totaled $31,009,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2002. This amount excludes the capitalized lease obligations of the Company. In addition to performing normal capital improvements, the Company is still in the process of replacing and upgrading several towers, transmitters and antennas. In 2002, the Company plans on spending a total of approximately $125,000,000 that will consist of $54,000,000 for towers, transmitters, antennas and digital technology, $15,000,000 for the completion of the build-out of TeleFutura Network and station facilities, $7,000,000 for Univision Network facilities expansion, $14,000,000 for the completion of the construction of the Los Angeles and Phoenix stations and approximately $35,000,000 for normal capital improvements and management information systems. The Company expects to fund its capital expenditure requirements primarily from its operating cash flow and, if necessary, from proceeds available under its bank facility.
The Company's 7.85% Senior Notes due July 18, 2011 (the "Notes") have a face value of $500,000,000 and bear simple interest at 7.85%. The Company received net proceeds of $495,370,000 from the issuance of the Notes and pays interest on the Notes on January 15 and July 15 of each year. The Notes are the Company's senior unsecured obligations, are equal in right of payment with all of the Company's existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness, are senior in right of payment to any of the Company's future subordinated indebtedness and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by all of the Company's guarantors, who are described below. The Company has the option to redeem all or a portion of the Notes at any time at the redemption prices set forth in the note agreement. The indenture does not contain any provisions that would require us to repurchase or redeem or otherwise modify the terms of the Notes upon a change of control. The indenture does not limit our ability to incur indebtedness or require the maintenance of financial ratios or specified levels of net worth or liquidity.
The Company also has a $1.22 billion credit agreement with a syndicate of commercial lenders. The credit agreement consists of a $500,000,000 revolving credit facility and a $720,000,000 term loan. Each of the credit facilities will mature on July 18, 2006. At March 31, 2002, the Company had borrowings of $720,000,000 outstanding under its term loan and $70,000,000 outstanding under its revolving credit facility.
The subsidiaries that guarantee the Company's obligations under the revolving credit facility and term loan also guarantee the Notes. The subsidiary guarantors under the credit facilities are all of our domestic subsidiaries other than certain immaterial subsidiaries. The guarantees of the obligations under the revolving credit facility, term loan and the Notes will be released if our senior unsecured debt is rated BBB or better by Standard & Poor's Rating Services and Baa2 or better by Moody's Investor Service, Inc. The guarantees of such subsidiary will be reinstated if such ratings fall below BBB- by Standard & Poor's or Baa3 by Moody's. The Company's senior unsecured debt is currently rated BB+ by Standard & Poor's Rating Services and Baa3 by Moody's Investor Service, Inc.
Loans made under the revolving credit facility and term loan bear interest determined by reference to LIBOR or a base rate equal to the higher of the prime rate of Chase Manhattan Bank or 0.50% per annum over the federal funds rate. Depending on the rating assigned by rating agencies to our senior unsecured debt, the LIBOR interest rate margin on the Company's term loans ranges from 0.75% to 1.5% per annum and the base rate margin ranges from 0% to 0.50% per annum. The Company's LIBOR interest rate margin on its term loans was 1.25% for the three months ended March 31, 2002. Interest is generally payable quarterly.
17
The credit agreement contains customary covenants, including restrictions on liens and dividends, and financial covenants relating to interest coverage and maximum leverage. Under the credit agreement, the Company is also limited in the amount of other debt it can incur and in its ability to engage in mergers, sell assets and make material changes to its program license agreements with Televisa or Venevision in a manner the lenders determine is materially adverse to the Company.
The Company's primary interest rate exposure results from changes in the short-term interest rates applicable to the Company's LIBOR loans. The Company borrows at the U.S. prime rate from time to time but attempts to maintain these loans at a minimum. Based on the Company's overall interest rate exposure on its LIBOR loans at March 31, 2002, a change of 10% in interest rates would have an impact of approximately $2,600,000 on pre-tax earnings and pre-tax cash flows over a one-year period.
In connection with the acquisition of the USA Broadcasting stations in 2001, the Company made its final payment of approximately $592,000,000, with funds from its existing credit facility and the proceeds from the issuance of preferred stock in January 2002.
On October 11, 2001, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement to acquire stations in Killeen and El Paso, Texas from White Knight Broadcasting for approximately $30,000,000. Concurrently, the Company assigned its right to acquire the El Paso station to Entravision for approximately $18,000,000. In January 2002, the Company acquired the Killeen station for $12,000,000 and Entravision acquired the El Paso station.
At December 31, 2001, the Company had a minority interest of $36,540,000 in the San Francisco station, which was part of the USA Broadcasting acquisition. In January 2002, the Company purchased the remaining interest in the San Francisco station for approximately $41,000,000.
Effective February 1, 2002, the Company entered into a time brokerage agreement with Raycom Media, Inc. ("Raycom") to manage its two stations in Puerto Rico. Under the agreement, the Company will program WLII-TV 11 in San Juan and WSUR-TV 9 in Ponce, collectively branded as "Teleonce," on behalf of Raycom. The new programming under the agreement will also be telecast through WORA-TV 5 in Mayaguez, the long-term western affiliate to Teleonce. The management fee to the Company will be approximately $500,000 per year. In addition, the Company entered into an option agreement that expires on December 31, 2004 to acquire these stations for $190,000,000. The purchase price will be reduced if certain earnings targets are met during the period prior to the expiration of the option agreement.
On April 16, 2002, the Company announced that the Univision Music Group had completed its acquisition of Fonovisa Music Group ("Fonovisa"), creating the leading Latin music company in the U.S. and Puerto Rico with more than a 35% market share. Univision Music Group is also one of the leading Latin music companies in Mexico through its joint venture with Disa Records. As part of the transaction, Univision Music Group also acquired Fonomusic and America Musical Publishing companies, which it will integrate into the newly formed Univision Music Publishing division. The Company acquired Fonovisa for 6 million shares of Class A Common Stock and warrants to purchase an additional 100,000 shares of Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $38.261 per share. The purchase price of the Fonovisa acquisition based on the fair value of the Class A Common Stock and warrants is approximately $235,000,000.
In July 2000, the Federal Communications Commission released a Public Notice giving official notification that the Company was the winning bidder for a construction permit for a new television station in the Austin, Texas market with a winning bid of $18,798,000. On August 1, 2000, the Company made the required 20% down payment of $3,759,600 while awaiting final approval by the FCC. The details and costs regarding the construction of the new station are still in the planning phase.
On August 9, 2000, the Company acquired the Spanish-language broadcast rights in the U.S. to the 2002 and 2006 FIFA World Cup soccer games and other 2000-2006 FIFA events. A series of payments
18
totaling $150,000,000 is due over the term of the agreement. In addition to these payments, and consistent with past coverage of the World Cup games, the Company will be responsible for all costs associated with advertising, promotion and broadcast of the World Cup games, as well as the production of certain television programming related to the World Cup games. The costs for the 2002 World Cup games, including program right and production costs, will be approximately $55,000,000. The funds for these payments are expected to come from income from operations and/or borrowings from the Company's bank facilities.
The Company expects to explore additional acquisition opportunities in both Spanish-language television and other media to complement and capitalize on our existing business and management. The purchase price for the acquisitions and investments described above as well as any future acquisitions may be paid with (a) cash derived from operating cash flow, (b) proceeds available under bank facilities, (c) proceeds from future debt or equity offerings, or (d) any combination thereof. Based on our current level of operations and planned capital expenditures, the Company believes that its cash flow from operations, together with available cash and available borrowings under the bank credit facility will be adequate to meet future liquidity needs for at least the next twelve months.
