SUSQUEHANNA MEDIA CO. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission, the condensed consolidated interim financial statements included
herein have been prepared, without audit, by Susquehanna Media Co. (the
"Company"). The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and
with the instructions to the Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been
condensed or omitted; however, the Company believes that the disclosures are
adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The consolidated
financial statements included herein should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the
Company's December 31, 1999 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission.
The condensed consolidated financial statements (the "financial
statements") include the accounts of Susquehanna Media Co. and all its
subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated
interim financial statements contain all material adjustments (consisting only
of normal recurring adjustments), necessary to present fairly the consolidated
financial position of the Company at March 31, 2000 and the results of its
operations for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 and its cash flows
for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999.
Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for the full
year or future periods.
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
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.
2. RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
On May 11, 2000, Susquehanna Radio Corp. (SRC), a Company subsidiary,
agreed to purchase from Entercom Communications Corp. the assets, including
certain broadcast rights, of radio stations KCMO-AM, KCMO-FM, and KCFX-FM in
Kansas City, Missouri for $113 million. The transaction is subject to regulatory
approval and other customary closing conditions. A third quarter closing is
expected. We expect to use existing credit facilities to fund this purchase. See
"Item 5. Other Information."
On April 28, 2000, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) issued a
Report and Order which approved the Company's Petition for Rule Making to create
a new FM allocation, in College Park, GA for WHMA-FM to serve the Atlanta Metro
Area. The Company may submit an application for a construction permit on or
after June 14, 2000. Within six months after the construction permit becomes a
final order or on program test authority, whichever first occurs, the Company
must pay the former owners $10 million per the original purchase agreement.
Payment
4
<PAGE>
may occur in the fourth quarter. The $10 million payment will increase the FCC
license's carrying value. We expect to use existing credit facilities to fund
this payment.
On April 10, 2000, Susquehanna Pfaltzgraff Co.'s (the Company's parent)
Board of Directors changed the method of determining the repurchase value for
SRC's Employee Stock Plan and Susquehanna Cable Co.'s (SCC's) Performance Share
Plan.
Over a period beginning July 1, 2000 through April 1, 2002, repurchase
values will transition to values based upon Susquehanna Pfaltzgraff Co.'s annual
independent ESOP valuation.
There were no unexercised options under SRC's Employer Stock Plan at
March 31, 2000.
SCC's Performance Share Plan is a non-qualified deferred compensation
plan. Based on the December 31, 1999 ESOP valuation, the plan's value will
increase by approximately $5.0 million on July 1, 2000. Compensation expense
will be recognized for the increase.
3. SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company's business units have separate management teams and
infrastructures that offer different products and services. The business units
have been aggregated into three reportable segments; Radio, Cable and Other.
These business segments are consistent with the Company's management of these
businesses and its financial reporting structure. Accounting policies, as
described in the Company's most recent audited financial statements, are applied
consistently across all segments.
Segment information (in thousands of dollars) follows:

4. CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS
An unrelated cable television Multiple System Operator (MSO) owns a
14.9% interest in Susquehanna Cable Co. and a 17.75% interest in each of
Susquehanna Cable Co.'s cable television operating subsidiaries. On January 18,
2000, the MSO was acquired by an unrelated company. Management believes cable
programming formerly acquired through the MSO will cost approximately $1.9
million more in 2000 than expected due to the change in ownership.
5
<PAGE>
The MSO may offer to purchase the Company's interest in its cable
television operations. The Company must either accept or reject an offer within
sixty days. If the Company rejects the offer, the MSO may require the Company to
repurchase the MSO's holdings at the offer price plus a fee equal to 3% of the
MSO's $25,000,000 investment, compounded annually from 1993.
If the MSO does not offer to purchase the Company's cable television
operations by December 1, 2000, the Company may elect to pay the MSO a fee equal
to 1.5% of the MSO's $25,000,000 investment compounded annually from 1993 and
avoid any further fee obligation. No liability has been recorded due to the
uncertainty of future events.
On April 22, 1999, the MSO was granted a three year "Put Right." After
an eighteen-month holding period beginning May 12, 1999, the MSO may require the
Company to repurchase its ownership interest at a price to be determined by
independent appraisers. The "Put Right" may not be exercised if exercise would
create default under certain debt agreements. If the "Put Right" is exercised,
the Company may, at its sole discretion and in lieu of acquiring the MSO's
ownership interests, sell Cable and pay the MSO its pro rata share of net
proceeds.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Some of the statements in this Form 10-Q, as well as statements made by
the Company in filings with government regulatory bodies, including the
Securities and Exchange Commission, and in periodic press releases and other
public comments and communications, constitute "forward-looking statements"
within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
Certain, but not necessarily all, of such forward-looking statements can be
identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, such as "believes,"
"expects," "may," "will," "should," or "anticipates" or the negative thereof or
other variations thereof or comparable terminology, or by discussion of
strategies, each of which involves risks and uncertainties. All statements other
than of historical facts included herein or therein, including those regarding
market trends, the Company's financial position, business strategy, projected
plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking
statements. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks,
uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results or performance
of the Company to be materially different from any future results, performance
or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Such
factors include, but are not limited to, general economic and business
conditions (both nationally and in the Company's markets), acquisition
opportunities, expectations and estimates concerning future financial
performance, financing plans, the Company's ability to service its outstanding
indebtedness, the impact of competition, existing and future regulations
affecting the Company's business, nonrenewal of cable franchises, decreases in
the Company's customers advertising and entertainment expenditures and other
factors over which the Company may have little or no control.

</TABLE>
THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2000 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31,
1999
REVENUES. Revenues increased $10.9 million or 20% from 1999 to 2000.
Radio revenues increased $7.3 million or 21% from 1999 to 2000. Radio's revenue
growth was primarily due to higher advertising rates. Cable revenues increased
$2.9 million or 15% from 1999 to 2000. Cable's revenue growth was primarily due
to basic service rate increases.
OPERATING INCOME. Operating income increased $3.8 million or 39% from
1999 to 2000. Radio operating income for the quarter was $10.1 million, a $4.0
million or 65% increase over first quarter 1999. Improved Radio operating income
was driven by increased sales. Cable operating income for the first quarter was
$3.0 million, a $0.5 million decrease from the first quarter 1999. Higher
depreciation, related to completed rebuild phases and higher programming costs,
was responsible for the decrease in operating income.
NET INCOME. Net income increased $1.3 million or 62% from 1999 to 2000.
Operating income gains were reduced by net interest expense, which was $1.4
million or 29% higher than in 1999. Higher net interest expense was due to
borrowings for cable rebuilds and the loan to Susquehanna Pfaltzgraff Co. which
was made in May 1999.
DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION. Depreciation and amortization increased
$0.5 million or 7% from 1999 to 2000. Completed phases of cable system rebuilds
were responsible for the increase.
7
<PAGE>
ADJUSTED EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income before income
taxes, extraordinary items, interest expense, interest income, depreciation and
amortization, employee stock ownership plan expense, minority interest and any
gain or loss on the disposition of assets. Adjusted EBITDA increased $4.9
million or 28% from 1999 to 2000. Radio's Adjusted EBITDA was $13.4 million, a
$4.3 million or 47% improvement over first quarter 1999. The increase in Radio's
Adjusted EBITDA was the result of higher advertising rates which were not
accompanied by relatively higher expenses. Cable's Adjusted EBITDA was $8.7
million, an increase of $0.5 million or 6% over 1999. Basic rate increases drove
Cable's improved Adjusted EBITDA.
The Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides a meaningful
comparison of operating performance because it is commonly used in the radio and
cable television industries to analyze and compare radio and cable television
companies on the basis of operating performance, leverage and liquidity.
Although the Company believes the calculation is helpful in understanding its
performance, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered a substitute for net
income or cash flow as indicators of the Company's financial performance or its
ability to generate liquidity. Adjusted EBITDA as presented may not be
comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies.
INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense increased $3.1 million or 63% from
1999 to 2000. The increase was due to a loan to Susquehanna Pfaltzgraff Co. in
May 1999 and debt incurred for cable system rebuilds.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's primary sources of liquidity are cash flow from
operations and borrowings under its senior credit facilities. The Company's
future needs for liquidity arise primarily from capital expenditures, potential
acquisitions of radio stations and cable systems, potential repurchases of its
common stock, and interest payable on outstanding indebtedness and its senior
credit facilities.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $23.0 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2000. The Company's net cash provided by operating
activities was generated by normal operations.
Net cash used by investing activities was $10.3 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2000. Capital expenditures, excluding acquisitions, were
$8.0 million and $6.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and
1999, respectively. Capital expenditures were made to upgrade and maintain cable
systems. The Company expects to make capital expenditures of $35.0 million in
2000, primarily for cable systems upgrades. We expect to use existing credit
facilities to fund the cable systems upgrades.
Net cash used by financing activities was $12.6 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2000. The revolving credit facility was reduced by $13
million.
The Company believes that funds generated from operations and the
borrowing availability under its new senior credit facility will be sufficient
to finance its current operations, its debt service obligations, and its planned
capital expenditures. From time to time, the Company evaluates potential
acquisitions of radio stations and cable television systems. In connection with
future acquisition opportunities, the Company may incur additional debt or issue
additional equity or debt securities depending on market conditions and other
factors. Except as noted in this Form 10-Q, the Company has no current
commitments or agreements with respect to
8
<PAGE>
any material acquisitions.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We monitor and evaluate changes in market conditions on a regular
basis. Based upon the most recent review, management has determined that there
have been no material developments affecting market risk since the filing of
Media's December 31, 1999 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission.

<PAGE>
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company is a party to various legal proceedings arising in the
ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management of the Company,
however, there are no legal proceedings pending against the Company likely to
have a material adverse effect on the Company.
ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION
On May 11, 2000, Susquehanna Radio Corp., a Company subsidiary, agreed
to purchase from Entercom Communications Corp. the assets, including certain
broadcast rights, of radio stations KCMO-AM, KCMO-FM, and KCFX-FM in Kansas
City, Missouri for $113 million. The transaction is subject to regulatory
approval and other customary closing conditions. A third quarter closing is
expected. We expect to use existing credit facilities to fund this purchase.
