Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
1. Financial Statement Presentation
--------------------------------
As of June 30, 1996, Renaissance Communications Corp.(the "Company")
owned and operated six television stations: KDAF, Dallas, Texas; WDZL,
Miami/Ft. Lauderdale, Florida; KTXL, Sacramento, California; WTIC,
Hartford/New Haven, Connecticut; WXIN, Indianapolis, Indiana; and WPMT,
Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. The interim financial statements presented
herein include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned
subsidiaries for the period of time they were owned and operated by the
Company. All significant intercompany items and transactions are
eliminated in consolidation.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated
financial statements contain all the normal recurring adjustments
necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim
periods presented. The results for the interim period are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
2. Shareholders' Equity
--------------------
On May 21, 1996, certain family members of an officer exercised
warrants for 300,000 shares. The exercise price was satisfied through
the issuance of $2,000,000 in demand notes to the Company. The notes
bear interest at an annual rate of 6%.
3. Pending Transactions
--------------------
On July 1, 1996, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to be
acquired by Tribune Company for $36.00 per share in cash for an
aggregate purchase price of $1.13 billion. The transaction is subject
to shareholder and FCC approval. The transaction is expected to close
in early 1997.
In March 1994, the Company entered into an agreement to sell the voting
common stock of the subsidiary that holds the FCC license of WTIC ("61
Licensee") in order to comply with FCC regulations which prohibit it
from controlling the FCC license because the majority owner of the
Company owns newspapers within the service area of WTIC. The Company
will retain a 98% nonvoting interest in 61 Licensee and will continue
to consolidate the results of WTIC, including 61 Licensee. The
transaction is subject to the consent of the FCC. An application for
such consent is pending before the FCC. In connection with the filing
of the application to the FCC for transfer of control of the stations
to Tribune Company, the Company will withdraw the pending application
for transfer of control of WTIC and the related agreements will
terminate.
