"Importantly, we continued to focus on reducing our leverage in 2003 by utilizing cash flow generated from operations and proceeds from the sale of investment securities to pay down debt. These actions helped lower interest expense by 27% over 2002 levels."

First Quarter Guidance

For the three-month period ending March 31, 2004, the Company anticipates reporting net revenue up 1% over year-ago levels, which reflects the impact of reformatting one of its FM stations in the Philadelphia market. This guidance is based on the economic and market conditions as of March 3, 2004, and assumes no material changes in economic conditions or other major world events. The Company can give no assurance as to whether these conditions will continue, or if they change, how such changes may affect the Company's current expectations. While the Company may, from time to time, issue updated guidance, it assumes no obligation to do so.

Station Operating Income (SOI) consists of net revenue less station operating expenses Operating expenses

The amount paid for asset maintenance or the cost of doing business, excluding depreciation. Earnings are distributed after operating expenses are deducted.
. We define station operating expenses as costs of services (excluding depreciation and amortization) and selling, general and administrative expenses. SOI replaces broadcast cash flow (BCF BCF Billion Cubic Feet

) as the metric used by management to assess the performance of its stations. Although it is calculated in the same manner as BCF, our management believes that using the term "station operating income" provides a more accurate description of the performance measure.

Generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) provide companies and accountants with a consistent set of guidelines that cover both broad accounting
. We use these non-GAAP financial measures for internal budgeting purposes and to evaluate the performance of our radio stations. Management uses SOI to evaluate the operating performance of our radio stations because SOI enables management to measure the performance of our radio stations before non-cash expenses Noun 1. non-cash expense - an expense (such as depreciation) that is not paid for in cash

 non-cash and corporate-level costs and expenses, which may also be material to an assessment of the Company's overall operating performance. Management compensates for this limitation by separately considering the impact of these excluded items to the extent they are material to operating decisions or assessments of the Company's operating performance. Moreover, the corresponding amounts of the non-cash and corporate-level costs and expenses excluded from the calculation are available to investors as they are presented as separate line items on our statements of operations contained in our periodic reports filed with the SEC.

While the Company recognizes that because SOI is not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, it is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies, SOI is a measure widely used in the radio broadcast industry. Management believes that SOI provides meaningful information to investors because it is an important measure of how effectively we operate our business (i.e., operate radio stations) and assists investors in comparing our operating performance with that of other radio companies. We also believe that providing SOI on a same station basis is a useful measure of our performance because it presents SOI before the impact of any acquisitions or dispositions completed during the relevant periods.
