Introductory Note

This Amendment No. 1 to Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Amendment No. 1”) amends and supplements the Current Report on Form 8-K of MediaCo Holding Inc., an Indiana corporation (the “Company”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 18, 2019 (the “Original Form 8-K”). On December 13, 2019, the Company entered into an Assignment and Assumption of Purchase Agreement (the “Assignment and Assumption Agreement”) by and between Billboards LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Billboards LLC”) and the Company, regarding that certain Equity Purchase Agreement, dated as of October 16, 2019 (the “Purchase Agreement”), by and among Billboards LLC, FMG Kentucky, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“FMG Kentucky), FMG Valdosta, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (together with FMG Kentucky, the “Acquired Companies”), and Fairway Outdoor Advertising Group, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. The transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement closed concurrently with the Company’s entry into the Assignment and Assumption Agreement, and accordingly, the Company acquired the Acquired Companies (the “Acquisition”).

This Amendment No. 1 amends Item 9.01 of the Original Form 8-K for the purpose of filing the financial information required by Item 9.01(a) of Form 8-K and the pro forma financial information required by Item 9.01(b) of Form 8-K.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Members of FMG Kentucky, LLC and FMG Valdosta, LLC

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying combined carve-out balance sheets of FMG Kentucky, LLC and FMG Valdosta, LLC (collectively, the “Company”) as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the related combined carve-out statements of operations, changes in net parent investment and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2018 and 2017 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Adoption of New Accounting Standard

As discussed in Note 2 to the combined carve-out financial statements, the Company changed its method of accounting for revenue from contracts with customers as a result of the adoption of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, effective January 1, 2018, under the modified retrospective method.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB and in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2019.

1.

Organization and Description of the Business

Description of Business

FMG Kentucky, LLC and FMG Valdosta, LLC (collectively, the “Company”) are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Fairway Outdoor Advertising Group, LLC (“Advertising”). The Company is an outdoor advertising business that operates advertising displays across Kentucky, West Virginia, Florida and Georgia. GTCR, a leading private equity firm, acquired the Company, along with other market locations, with its acquisition of Fairway Media Group, LLC (“Media”, sole owner of “Advertising”) in January 2015. To execute the 100 percent acquisition of Media, FMG Outdoor Holdings, LLC (“Holdings”) was formed, in which GTCR acquired a majority interest. Holdings, and all of its subsidiaries, including Media and Advertising, are collectively referred to as “Fairway”.

In December of 2018, Holdings and its subsidiaries completed a restructuring transaction. Through this restructuring, FMG Kentucky, LLC and FMG Valdosta, LLC were created. In the process, Media was dissolved and no longer exists. The Company remained wholly-owned by Holdings subsequent to the restructuring. The Company evaluated the restructuring under authoritative guidance noting that the restructuring did not constitute a change of control.

Historically, the Company has been consolidated with other markets, within the Media portfolio, into one set of consolidated financial statements. Management has performed procedures to carve-out the combined financial statements of the Company out of the historical accounts of Fairway.

2.

Summary of Significant Accounting Principles

Principles of Combination

The combined carve-out financial statements include the results of operations, financial position and cash flows of the Company in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). All intracompany accounts and transactions within the combined carve-out businesses of the Company have been eliminated.

Basis of Presentation

The combined carve-out financial statements of the Company were derived from the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of Fairway, as if they operated on a standalone basis during the periods presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP.

Certain transactions between the Company and Fairway have been included in these combined carve-out financial statements and are considered to be effectively settled at the time the transaction is recorded. The total net effect of the settlement of these transactions is reflected in the combined carve-out statements of changes in net parent investment as net transfers to parent, in the combined carve-out statements of cash flows as a financing activity and in the combined carve-out balance sheets as net parent investment. The combined carve-out financial statements include certain assets and liabilities that have historically been held at the Fairway level but are specifically identifiable or otherwise allocable to the Company, including goodwill, as disclosed in Note 6.

Fairway applied a centralized approach to cash management and financing for the Company’s operations. The cash and cash equivalents held by Fairway at the corporate level are not specifically identifiable to the Company and therefore were not allocated for any of the periods presented. The Company was dependant on Fairway to fund the Company’s operating and investing activities, as needed. This arrangement is not reflective of the manner in which the Company would have been able to finance its operations had it been a stand-alone business separate from Fairway during the periods presented.

The historical costs and expenses reflected in the combined carve-out financial statements include an allocation for certain corporate functions historically provided by Fairway. Certain functions critical to the Company’s operations were centralized and managed by Fairway. Historically, the centralized functions included finance, accounting, marketing, legal, operational support services, information technology, tax, and other general and administrative costs. Management has also included an allocation of stock compensation expense, related to management of Fairway, to the Company as the compensation calculations is partially impacted by the performance of the Company. The cost of each of these services has been allocated to the Company on the basis of the Company’s relative revenue or headcount as compared to that of Fairway, depending upon which allocation methodology is more appropriate for each service. Liabilities associated with allocated expenses that the Company was not obligated to satisfy have not been recorded as Fairway will ultimately be obligated to satisfy them going forward. The Company believes that these allocations reasonably reflect the utilization of the services provided and benefits received; however, they may differ from the costs that would have been incurred had the Company operated as a stand-alone company for the periods presented. Actual costs that may have been incurred if the Company had been a stand-alone company would depend on multiple factors, including organization structure and strategic decisions made in various areas, including legal services, accounting and finance services, human resources, marketing, operational support, facility and other corporate and infrastructural services.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of these combined carve-out financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. The more significant estimates made by management relate to allowance for doubtful accounts, cost allocations, asset retirement obligations and the valuation and impairment of long-lived and intangible assets.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that are potentially subject to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of accounts receivable. The Company does not require its customers to provide collateral. No individual customers represented more than 10% of the Company’s revenue.

Accounts Receivable, Net

Accounts receivable are recorded when the Company has an unconditional right to payment, either because it has satisfied a performance obligation prior to receiving payment from the customer or has a noncancelable contract that has been billed in advance in accordance with the Company’s normal billing terms. Accounts receivable are recorded at their net realizable value, which includes allowances for doubtful accounts. The Company evaluates accounts receivable to determine if they will ultimately be collected. Significant judgments and estimates are involved in performing this evaluation, which are based on factors that may affect a customer’s ability to pay, such as past experience, credit quality of the customer, age of the receivable balance and current economic conditions. The allowance for doubtful accounts is for estimated losses resulting from accounts receivable for which their collection is not reasonably probable. Bad debt expense for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 was $155 and $185, respectively. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $62 and $19, respectively.

Prepaid Site Leases

Generally, the Company’s outdoor advertising structures are located on leased land. To the extent the Company makes payments to lessors that cover a length of time greater than the month the payment is made, a portion of the payment is recorded as a prepaid site lease. These prepayments are deferred and charged to direct advertising expenses on a straight-line basis over the period the payment relates to. Any prepayment that has been made for a period beyond one year of the balance sheet date will be classified as long-term.

Property and Advertising Structures, Net

Property and advertising structures, net is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation.  Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets, generally two to thirty years.

Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.  The carrying amount and accumulated depreciation of assets sold or retired are removed from the accounts in the year of disposal and any resulting gain or loss is included in results of operations.

Long-Lived Asset Impairment

The Company evaluates the recoverability of its long-lived assets in accordance with the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No. 360, Property, Plant and Equipment (“ASC 360”). ASC 360 requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles be reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate, that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable.  The determination of whether impairment has occurred is based on comparing management’s estimate of expected future net operating cash flows, undiscounted and without interest charges and income taxes, to the carrying amount of the underlying assets.  Evaluation of a potential impairment would occur if the reported value of these assets exceeds the associated future undiscounted operating cash flows.  Any potential impairment loss would be measured as the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset. No impairments were recorded for the periods presented. See Note 9 for discussion on disposal of assets as a result of hurricane damage.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the identified net assets acquired in a business combination. In accordance with FASB ASC No. 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other, goodwill is assessed for impairment at least annually. The goodwill impairment assessment is made on a reporting unit basis.  A reporting unit is an operating segment or one level below an operating segment for which discrete financial information is prepared and is regularly reviewed by Management. The Company has one reporting unit for which goodwill is evaluated for impairment. The Company reviews goodwill for impairment, on an annual basis, at October 1st or more frequently when a triggering event occurs, if it is determined that it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying value. The Company first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If it is determined to be more-likely-than-not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, a quantitative impairment test for goodwill is performed. Based on the Company’s assessment, there was no impairment of goodwill for the Company’s reporting unit during the periods presented.

Intangible Assets, Net

Intangible assets subject to amortization are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently stated at amortized cost. Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives and are tested for impairment along with other long-lived assets. The Company’s intangible assets consist of permits with a useful life of 15 years.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The accounting guidance for fair value measurements defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. It also establishes a three-level hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The three levels of the hierarchy are defined as follows:

 

Level 1 – Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

 

Level 2 – Include other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.

 

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.

The Company’s financial instruments are accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, capital leases and other current assets and liabilities. The fair values of accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and other current assets and liabilities approximates carrying values due to the short maturities of these instruments. Initial recognition of capital leases is reported at fair value.

Asset Retirement Obligations

FASB ASC No. 410, Asset Retirement and Environment Obligations, requires the Company to estimate its obligation upon the termination or non-renewal of a lease to dismantle and remove its advertising structures from the leased land and to reclaim the site to its original condition. The Company records the present value of obligations associated with the retirement of its advertising structures in the period in which the obligation is incurred. When the liability is recorded the cost is capitalized as part of the related advertising structures carrying amount. Over time, accretion of the liability is recognized as an operating expense and the capitalized cost is depreciated over the expected useful life of the related asset.

The significant assumptions used in estimating the asset retirement obligation include the third-party cost of removing the asset, the cost of remediating the leased property to its original condition where required and the timing and number of lease renewals, all of which are estimated based on historical experience. The interest rate used to calculate the present value of such costs over the 50 year retirement period is based on an estimated risk adjusted credit rate for the same period.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes outdoor advertising revenue on an accrual basis ratably over the term of the contracts. Production revenue and the related expense for the advertising copy are recognized upon completion of the sale.

The Company generates revenue primarily from the sale of advertising space on printed and digital billboards as well as posters via arrangements that typically last a few weeks to one year. The Company also generates revenue from production services, which are distinct from the advertising display services.

The Company engages in barter transactions whereby the Company trades advertising space for rent of the land where the advertising structures are located and for goods and services.  Revenues and expenses are recognized at fair value as determined by the Company’s historical practice of receiving cash for similar advertising space from customers unrelated to the party in the barter transaction. For barter transactions involving site leases, the fair value is determined at lease inception and updated when the lease is renewed.  For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, barter revenues and expenses were approximately $11 and $0, respectively.  No gain or loss has been recognized related to barter transactions.

The Company records deferred revenue when payments from customers are received before the Company has satisfied its deliverables.

Income Taxes

As a limited liability company, the Company is not a tax paying entity for federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, the Company’s taxable income or loss is allocated to its members in accordance with their respective percentage ownership.  Therefore, no provision or liability for income taxes has been included in the accompanying combined carve-out financial statements.

New Accounting Standards Recently Adopted

As of January 1, 2018, the Company adopted the new accounting standard, FASB ASC No. 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, using the modified retrospective method applied to those contracts which were not completed as of January 1, 2018, and are not accounted for under FASB ASC No. 840, Leases. The standard requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The standard replaces most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP. The Company concluded that the adoption of the new standard did not have a material impact to the combined carve-out financial statements. Refer to Note 3 for more information.

In January 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The ASU simplifies how an entity is required to test goodwill for impairment by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test which measures a goodwill impairment loss by comparing the implied fair value of a reporting units goodwill with the carrying amount. As a result, an impairment charge will be recorded based on the excess of a reporting unit's carrying amount over its fair value. The amendments of this ASU are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2021. Early adoption of this ASU is permitted for interim and annual impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company elected to early adopt the standard beginning January 1, 2017, with no significant impact on the combined carve-out financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases.  The update is to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about lease arrangements.  The amendments in this update are effective beginning January 1, 2021 with retrospective application.  The Company expects the primary impact to our combined carve-out financial statements will be the recognition, on a discounted basis, of our minimum commitments under noncancelable operating leases on our combined balance sheets resulting in the recording of right of use assets and lease obligations. Our current minimum commitments under non-cancelable operating leases are disclosed in Note 8. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of implementation of this updated authoritative guidance on its combined carve-out financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows – Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. The update clarifies how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented in the statement of cash flows. The update is effective for annual periods beginning January 1, 2019 with early adoption permitted.  Management is still evaluating the impact of this update on its combined statement of cash flows and does not believe adoption will have a material impact on its combined carve-out financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations: Clarifying the definition of a business. The update clarifies the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions of assets or businesses. The update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018.  Management is still evaluating the impact of this update on its combined carve-out financial statements and does not believe adoption will have a material impact on its combined carve-out financial statements.

Revenue

On January 1, 2018, we adopted ASC No. 606 using the modified retrospective method applied to those contracts which were not completed as of January 1, 2018 and are not accounted for under ASC 840.  Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under FASB ASC No. 606 or 840, while comparative information has not been adjusted and continues to be reported under ASC 605.

The Company generates revenue from the sale of advertising space on printed and digital advertising displays. Certain of these revenue transactions are considered leases under FASB ASC No. 840 for accounting purposes, as the agreements convey to the customer the right to use the Company’s advertising structures for a stated period of time. In order for an arrangement to qualify as a lease it must be dependant on the use of a specific asset and the customer must have majority use and obtain substantially all of the benefit from the asset during the term of the arrangement. Therefore, arrangements that do not involve the use of a specific asset, where the Company has the ability to substitute the asset that is used to display the advertising, or where the asset displays advertisements for multiple customers during the period are not considered leases under FASB ASC No. 840. The Company accounts for revenue from leases, which are classified as operating leases, in accordance with FASB ASC No. 840. These arrangements will continue to be accounted for under FASB ASC No. 840 until the Company adopts FASB ASC No. 842, Leases, at which time the arrangements will be re-evaluated based on the new guidance.  

A majority of our bulletin displays and poster contracts are accounted for under FASB ASC No. 840. Revenue from digital displays and production revenue are accounted for under FASB ASC No. 606.

We have elected to utilize the practical expedient to recognize the incremental cost of obtaining a contract as an expense when incurred as a result of the amortization period of the asset being one year or less. We expense sales commissions when incurred because the amortization period for our sales contracts is one year or less. These costs are recorded within general and administrative expense in the combined carve-out statement of operations.

Goodwill

As of December 31, 2018 and 2017 the carrying amount of goodwill was $6,230. The goodwill balance stems from the acquisition of Fairway, which included the Company, and resulted in total goodwill of $56,300. Management allocated a portion of goodwill to the Company based on its revenue as a percentage of the total company revenue as of the original acquisition date. No impairment of goodwill was recorded by the Company for the years ended December 31, 2018 or 2017.

Commitments and Contingencies

Leases

The Company has operating leases for its display sites that vary in length. These leases generally contain renewal options for a period of years equal to the initial term of the lease. Subsequent to the first renewal, the leases generally are renewable on a year-to-year basis unless terminated by either party prior to the anniversary date. The Company’s future minimum lease payments assume that the Company will renew a lease associated with a profitable display site ten years past the contractual lease obligation and renewal periods based on the Company’s experience of renewing its lease agreements. Certain site leases provide for escalations in rental costs over the lease term. In addition, the Company has certain leases that contain a variable component based on revenue from the structure in addition to a base rent amount.  Rent expense amounted to $2,559 and $2,442 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and is included in direct advertising expenses in the combined carve-out statements of operations. The future minimum lease payments for non-cancellable site leases at December 31, 2018 are as follows:

Organization and Description of the Business

Description of Business

FMG Kentucky, LLC and FMG Valdosta, LLC (collectively, the “Company”) are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Fairway Outdoor Advertising Group, LLC (“Advertising”). The Company is an outdoor advertising business that operates advertising displays across Kentucky, West Virginia, Florida and Georgia. GTCR, a leading private equity firm, acquired the Company, along with other market locations, with its acquisition of Fairway Media Group, LLC (“Media”, sole owner of “Advertising”) in January 2015. To execute the 100 percent acquisition of Media, FMG Outdoor Holdings, LLC (“Holdings”) was formed, in which GTCR acquired a majority interest. Holdings, and all of its subsidiaries, including Media and Advertising, are collectively referred to as “Fairway”.

In December of 2018, Holdings and its subsidiaries completed a restructuring transaction. Through this restructuring, FMG Kentucky, LLC and FMG Valdosta, LLC were created. In the process, Media was dissolved and no longer exists. The Company remained wholly-owned by Holdings subsequent to the restructuring. The Company evaluated the restructuring under authoritative guidance noting that the restructuring did not constitute a change of control.

Historically, the Company has been consolidated with other markets, within the Media portfolio, into one set of consolidated financial statements. Management has performed procedures to carve-out the combined financial statements of the Company out of the historical accounts of Fairway.

Summary of Significant Accounting Principles

Principles of Combination

The condensed combined carve-out financial statements include the results of operations, financial position and cash flows of the Company in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). All intracompany accounts and transactions within the condensed combined carve-out businesses of the Company have been eliminated.

Basis of Presentation

The condensed combined carve-out financial statements of the Company were derived from the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of Fairway, as if they operated on a standalone basis during the periods presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP are not required in these interim financial statements and have been condensed or omitted. The accompanying unaudited condensed combined carve-out financial statements should be read in conjunction with the condensed combined carve-out financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017.

Certain transactions between the Company and Fairway have been included in these condensed combined carve-out financial statements and are considered to be effectively settled at the time the transaction is recorded. The total net effect of the settlement of these transactions is reflected in the condensed combined carve-out statements of changes in net parent investment as net transfers to parent, in the condensed combined carve-out statements of cash flows as a financing activity and in the condensed combined carve-out balance sheets as net parent investment. The condensed combined carve-out financial statements include certain assets and liabilities that have historically been held at the Fairway level but are specifically identifiable or otherwise allocable to the Company, including goodwill.

Fairway applied a centralized approach to cash management and financing for the Company’s operations. The cash and cash equivalents held by Fairway at the corporate level are not specifically identifiable to the Company and therefore were not allocated for any of the periods presented. The Company was dependant on Fairway to fund the Company’s operating and investing activities, as needed. This arrangement is not reflective of the manner in which the Company would have been able to finance its operations had it been a stand-alone business separate from Fairway during the periods presented.

The historical costs and expenses reflected in the condensed combined carve-out financial statements include an allocation for certain corporate functions historically provided by Fairway. Certain functions critical to the Company’s operations were centralized and managed by Fairway. Historically, the centralized functions included finance, accounting, marketing, legal, operational support services, information technology, tax, and other general and administrative costs. Management has also included an allocation of stock compensation expense, related to management of Fairway, to the Company as the compensation calculations is partially impacted by the performance of the Company. The cost of each of these services has been allocated to the Company on the basis of the Company’s relative revenue or headcount as compared to that of Fairway, depending upon which allocation methodology is more appropriate for each service. As of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the relative headcount and revenue for the year ended December 31, 2018 (last period in which all markets operated under Fairway) was utilized to allocate the costs of centralized operations. As of September 30, 2019, the Company consists of the only remaining Fairway markets. Fairway continues to service previously sold markets through transition services agreements and therefore the Company believes allocating costs as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, utilizing the revenue and headcount percentages for the year ended December 31, 2018, provides a more accurate allocation of costs based on the level of effort performed at Fairway towards the Company. Liabilities associated with allocated expenses that the Company was not obligated to satisfy have not been recorded as Fairway will ultimately be obligated to satisfy them going forward. The Company believes that these allocations reasonably reflect the utilization of the services provided and benefits received; however, they may differ from the costs that would have been incurred had the Company operated as a stand-alone company for the periods presented. Actual costs that may have been incurred if the Company had been a stand-alone company would depend on multiple factors, including organization structure and strategic decisions made in various areas, including legal services, accounting and finance services, human resources, marketing, operational support, facility and other corporate and infrastructural services.  

Below are the allocated amounts included within the balance sheet as of September 30, 2019 and statements of operations for the periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018:

New Accounting Standards Recently Adopted

As of January 1, 2018, the Company adopted the new accounting standard, Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No. 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, using the modified retrospective method applied to those contracts which were not completed as of January 1, 2018, and are not accounted for under FASB ASC No. 840, Leases. The standard requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The standard replaces most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP. The Company concluded that the adoption of the new standard did not have a material impact to the condensed combined carve-out financial statements. Refer to Note 3 for more information.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows – Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. The update clarifies how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented in the statement of cash flows. The update is effective for annual periods beginning January 1, 2019 with early adoption permitted. Adoption of the update had no material impact to the condensed combined carve-out financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations: Clarifying the definition of a business. The update clarifies the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions of assets or businesses. The update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018.  Adoption of the update had no material impact to the condensed combined carve-out financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, Leases.  The update is to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about lease arrangements.  The amendments in this update are effective beginning January 1, 2021 with retrospective application.  The Company expects the primary impact to our condensed combined carve-out financial statements will be the recognition, on a discounted basis, of our minimum commitments under noncancelable operating leases on our condensed combined balance sheets resulting in the recording of right of use assets and lease obligations. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of implementation of this updated authoritative guidance on its condensed combined carve-out financial statements.

Revenue

On January 1, 2018, we adopted ASC No. 606 using the modified retrospective method applied to those contracts which were not completed as of January 1, 2018 and are not accounted for under ASC 840.  Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under FASB ASC No. 606 or 840.

The Company generates revenue from the sale of advertising space on printed and digital advertising displays. Certain of these revenue transactions are considered leases under FASB ASC No. 840 for accounting purposes, as the agreements convey to the customer the right to use the Company’s advertising structures for a stated period of time. In order for an arrangement to qualify as a lease it must be dependant on the use of a specific asset and the customer must have majority use and obtain substantially all of the benefit from the asset during the term of the arrangement. Therefore, arrangements that do not involve the use of a specific asset, where the Company has the ability to substitute the asset that is used to display the advertising, or where the asset displays advertisements for multiple customers during the period are not considered leases under FASB ASC No. 840. The Company accounts for revenue from leases, which are classified as operating leases, in accordance with FASB ASC No. 840. These arrangements will continue to be accounted for under FASB ASC No. 840 until the Company adopts FASB ASC No. 842, Leases, at which time the arrangements will be re-evaluated based on the new guidance.  

A majority of our bulletin displays and poster contracts are accounted for under FASB ASC No. 840. Revenue from digital billboards and production revenue are accounted for under FASB ASC No. 606.

We have elected to utilize the practical expedient to recognize the incremental cost of obtaining a contract as an expense when incurred as a result of the amortization period of the asset being one year or less. We expense sales commissions when incurred because the amortization period for our sales contracts is one year or less. These costs are recorded within general and administrative expense in the condensed combined carve-out statement of operations.

Commitments and Contingencies

Zoning regulations

In some of the localities in which the Company operates, outdoor advertising is subject to restrictive zoning regulations. Although the Company believes the existence of those regulations continue to be a factor in the operation of the Company’s business, such regulations have not had a significant effect on the results of operations.

Litigation  

From time to time, claims are made against the Company in the ordinary course of business, which could result in litigation. As of September 30, 2019, we were not a party to any pending legal proceedings that would be expected to have a material adverse effect on our business or financial condition.

7.

Hurricane Recovery

On October 10, 2018, hurricane Michael caused damages to some of the Company’s advertising structures. In order to rebuild the advertising structures, the Company incurred charges of $2,492 through July 2019. The cost of the restored advertising structures is recorded within property and advertising structures, net on the condensed combined carve-out balance sheets. The Company was insured for the damages incurred to the advertising structures and recorded an insurance receivable of $2,406 based on the costs incurred or expected to be incurred and recoverable through the Company’s insurance policy. The insurance receivable was received in October 2019.

8.

Employee Benefit Plan

The employees of the Company participate in a 401(k) savings plan administered by Fairway.  Upon meeting the eligibility requirements, participants will receive employer matching contributions equal to 100% of up to 2% of eligible wages.  Company contributions to the plan are $31 and $24 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

AOA Management Fee

Fairway executed a Corporate Executive Management Services Agreement with AOA Management Company Limited Partnership (“Management Company”), a Minnesota limited partnership on January 16, 2015. As a result, Fairway shares certain employees including officers and equity owners. Fairway pays the Management Company a monthly fee and certain business expenses as provided per the agreement. The agreement was terminated as of December 31, 2018. Fairway allocated $178 to the Company for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

10.

Subsequent Events

We have evaluated subsequent events through the issuance of these financial statements on February 28, 2020.

On October 16, 2019, the Company, along with Fairway, entered into an equity purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) to sell the Company to Billboards LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, for a cash purchase price of $43,072 subject to certain working capital and other adjustments as defined in the Purchase Agreement.  

On December 13, 2019, MediaCo Holding, Inc., an Indiana corporation, entered into an Assignment and Assumption of the Purchase Agreement by and between Billboards LLC and Fairway. The transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement closed concurrently with the entry into the Assignment and Assumption Agreement.

Exhibit 99.3

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Our unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements consist of an unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2019, and unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, and the year ended February 28, 2019. On October 25, 2019, in order to more closely align our operations and internal controls with standard market practice, our Board of Directors approved the change in our fiscal year end from the last day in February to December 31. Following such change, the date of our next fiscal year end is December 31, 2019. Therefore both of the condensed combined statements of operations presented in these pro forma statements contain financial data from January and February 2019 for the registrant.

In management's opinion, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements reflect certain adjustments that are necessary to present fairly our unaudited pro forma condensed combined results of operations and our unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of and for the periods indicated. The pro forma adjustments give effect to events that are (i) directly attributable to the transactions described below, (ii) factually supportable, and, (iii) with respect to the statement of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on us. The pro forma adjustments are based on assumptions that management believes are reasonable given the best information currently available.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are for illustrative and informational purposes only and are not intended to represent what our results of operations or financial position would have been had we operated as an independent, publicly traded company during the periods presented or if the transactions described below had actually occurred as of the dates indicated. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements also should not be considered indicative of our future results of operations or financial position as an independent, publicly traded company.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements give effect to the two transactions that have been completed since the date of the combined condensed balance sheet, September 30, 2019. Both of these transactions are treated as if they each had occurred on September 30, 2019 for the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet and on March 1, 2018 for the pro forma condensed combined statements of operations:


 

 

Emmis Transaction

 

the contribution of the assets and liabilities of WQHT-FM and WBLS-FM, as reflected in our audited and unaudited combined financial statements, from Emmis to MediaCo;

 

 

the distribution to Emmis of $91.8 million in cash, inclusive of purchase price adjustments, a promissory note in the amount of $5.0 million, a payment related to working capital in the amount of $5.0 million, and the issuance of 1,683,286 shares of MediaCo Class A common stock in consideration of the contribution of the WQHT-FM and WBLS-FM assets and liabilities to MediaCo;

 

 

the distribution of $2.1 million for costs associated with the Transaction;

 

 

the impact of debt financing by MediaCo to fund a portion of its $91.8 million distribution to Emmis and the use of the proceeds therefrom;

 

 

the issuance of 5,413,197 shares of MediaCo Class B common stock to SG Broadcasting in exchange for $41.5 million in cash and the issuance of a promissory note to SG Broadcasting in exchange for $6.25 million in cash; and

 

 

the impact of the management agreement between MediaCo and Emmis;

 

MediaCo has elected to use the historical carrying value of the WQHT-FM and WBLS-FM assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes rather than apply push-down accounting, which would have resulted in the assets and liabilities being recorded at fair value.

Fairway Transaction

 

the acquisition of outdoor advertising businesses FMG Valdosta, LLC and FMG Kentucky, LLC (together, the “Fairway Transaction”) for a purchase price of $43.1 million;

 

 

the distribution of $1.2 million for costs associated with the Fairway Transaction;

 

 

the impact of additional debt financing by MediaCo to fund the Fairway Transaction;

 

 

the issuance of 220,000 Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to SG Broadcasting in return for $22.0 million in cash;

 

 

the step up to fair value of the assets acquired as part of the Fairway Transaction; and

 

 

the estimated impact on the acquired company’s financial information of the conversion from ASC 840 to ASC 842 (Leases) to align with MediaCo’s adoption of the standard on March 1, 2019.

 

The acquired company has historically had a fiscal year end of December 31 and therefore the financial information included in the combined condensed statement of operations for the year ended February 28, 2019 is the information of the acquired company for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements

 

Note 1 – Preliminary purchase price allocation

 

The Company has performed a preliminary valuation analysis of the fair market value of the assets and liabilities acquired in the Fairway Transaction. The following table summarizes the allocation of the preliminary purchase price as of the acquisition date (in thousands).

 

This preliminary purchase price allocation has been used to prepare pro forma adjustments in the pro forma balance sheet and statement of operations. The final purchase price will be completed when the Company has completed the detailed valuations and necessary calculations. The final allocation could differ materially from the preliminary calculation used in the pro forma adjustments. The final allocation may include (1) changes in fair values of property, plant and equipment, (2) changes in allocations to intangible assets such as trade names, customer relationships, and goodwill and (3) other changes to assets and liabilities.

(B)

Reflects the elimination of income tax balances because (i) Mediaco received a step-up in tax basis upon the completion of the Emmis Transaction, thereby eliminating the current book/tax differences as of the closing dates, and (ii) the recorded tax payable balance remained with Emmis upon closing of the Emmis Transaction.  We will obtain a valuation of the acquired assets and liabilities in the Emmis Transaction, which will be used to determine the tax basis in these assets and liabilities, giving rise to new deferred tax assets and liabilities. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements do not reflect the establishment of any new deferred tax balances because the valuation of the assets and liabilities has not been completed. However, upon completion, we expect that the tax basis of acquired intangible assets will exceed the book basis and give rise to a net deferred tax asset.

Reflects an adjustment for net working capital on the Emmis Transaction.  Pursuant to the Transaction Agreement, Emmis agreed to leave $5.0 million of net working capital in MediaCo and MediaCo will pay this amount to Emmis on the nine month anniversary of the closing date.  Furthermore, any net working capital balance in excess of $5.0 million belongs to Emmis.  The net working capital balance of the Registrant as of September 30, 2019 has been reflected in the pro forma balance sheet as an increase to accounts payable and accrued expenses with the offset to additional paid-in capital.  The current portion of operating lease liabilities and income taxes payable are excluded from the determination of net working capital.

 

(D)

Reflects $50.0 million of proceeds from borrowings under the senior credit facility, the $5.0 million Emmis Promissory Note, and the $6.25 million SG Broadcasting Promissory Note, which are offset by estimated debt issuance costs of $1.7 million. The senior credit facility bears interest at a rate equal to LIBOR + 7.5%, and matures no later than its fifth anniversary. The Emmis Promissory Note carries interest at a base rate equal to the interest on any senior credit facility, or if no senior credit facility is outstanding, of 6.00%, plus an additional 1.00% on any payment of interest in kind and, without regard to whether the Company pays such interest in kind, an additional increase of 1.00% following the second anniversary of the date of issuance and additional increases of 1.00% following each successive anniversary thereafter. The Emmis Promissory Note is convertible, in whole or in part, into MediaCo Class A common stock at the option of Emmis beginning six (6) months after issuance and at a strike price equal to the thirty (30) day volume weighted average price of the MediaCo Class A common stock on the date of conversion. The Emmis Promissory Note contains a maturity date of the fifth anniversary of its issuance. The SG Broadcasting Promissory Note carries interest at a base rate equal to the interest on any senior credit facility, or if no senior credit facility is outstanding, of 6.00%, and an additional increase of 1.00% following the second anniversary of the date of issuance and additional increases of 1.00% following each successive anniversary thereafter. The SG Broadcasting Promissory Note is payable in interest in kind through maturity. Additionally, the SG Broadcasting Promissory Note is convertible, in whole or in part, into MediaCo Class A common stock at the option of SG Broadcasting beginning six (6) months after issuance and at a strike price equal to the thirty (30) day volume weighted average price of the MediaCo Class A common stock on the date of conversion. The current portion of long-term debt relates solely to the senior credit facility, of which 5% of the gross debt is required to be repaid each year.

(L)

Reflects an adjustment of $4.2 million to increase the basis in the acquired property, plant and equipment to its estimated fair value of $30.1 million. The estimated useful lives range from three to 39 years. The fair value and useful life calculations are preliminary and subject to change after the Company finalizes its review of the specific types, nature, age, condition and location of Fairway’s property, plant and equipment.

 

(M)

Reflects the adjustment of historical intangible assets acquired by the Company to their estimated fair values. As part of the preliminary valuation analysis, the Company identified customer relationships as a definite-lived intangible asset, with a three year useful life. The fair value of the customer relationship is valued using the multiperiod excess earnings method (“MPEEM”) of the income approach, which estimates value based on the present value of future economic benefits. The Company also acquired the ‘Fairway’ trade name which was valued using the relief from royalty method. This method is based on what a company would be willing to pay for a royalty in order to exploit the related benefits of the trade name. The value of the trade name is determined by discounting the inherent after-tax royalty savings associated with ownership or possession of the trade name. The trade name is an indefinite-lived intangible asset. Additionally, this reflects an adjustment to remove Fairway’s historical goodwill of $6.2 million and record goodwill associated with the transaction of $15.1 million as shown in Note 1.

(V)

Reflects the pro rata portion of the $1.25 million annual management fee to Emmis.  Included in the historical amounts are certain allocated costs from Emmis.  While the annual management fee is intended to replace a portion of these expenses, these expenses are not being eliminated in the pro forma financial statements.  These allocated costs, included in operating expenses, excluding depreciation and amortization in the accompanying combined financial statements were as follows for each period presented:

(W)

Reflects interest expense related to the senior credit facility, the Emmis Promissory Note, the SG Broadcasting Promissory Note, amortization of the associated deferred debt issuance costs, and agent monitoring fees.  The interest expense has been calculated based on the estimated rate for borrowings under the senior credit of 9.5%, along with an estimated $1.7 million of debt issuance costs amortized over the term of the senior credit facility.  The borrowing rate under the senior credit facility is LIBOR + 7.50% with a 2.00% LIBOR floor. The interest rates for the Emmis Promissory Note and the SG Broadcasting Promissory Note are the same as the senior credit facility. Since LIBOR is currently below 2%, we have used 2.00% as the applicable LIBOR for these pro forma statements. A 1/8 percent variance in our assumed interest rate would cause our annual interest expense to increase by $72 thousand. There would be no decrease due to the 2.00% LIBOR floor.

 

(X)

Reflects the impact of the pro forma adjustments on income tax calculated using our statutory tax rate of 30% for all periods presented.  This represents our U.S. statutory rate during these periods, which differs from our effective rate and does not include the tax impact of valuation allowances.

(AA)

Reflects interest expense related to the senior credit facility, and amortization of the associated deferred debt issuance costs.  The interest expense has been calculated based on the estimated rate for borrowings under the senior credit of 9.5%, along with an estimated $0.8 million of debt issuance costs amortized over the term of the senior credit facility.  The borrowing rate under the senior credit facility is LIBOR + 7.50% with a 2.00% LIBOR floor. Since LIBOR is currently below 2%, we have used 2.00% as the applicable LIBOR for these pro forma statements. A 1/8 percent variance in our assumed interest rate would cause our annual interest expense to increase by $29 thousand. There would be no decrease due to the 2.00% LIBOR floor.

 

(BB)

We have calculated earnings per share based on assuming 7,096,483 shares were outstanding for the full period.  This represents 1,683,286 shares of MediaCo Class A common stock issued to Emmis and subsequently distributed to Emmis’ shareholders on a pro rata basis, and 5,413,197 shares of MediaCo Class B common stock purchased by Standard General for $41.5 million in cash.
