MEDIACO HOLDING INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(IN THOUSANDS UNLESS INDICATED OTHERWISE, EXCEPT SHARE DATA)
June 30, 2021
(Unaudited)
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization
MediaCo Holding Inc. (“MediaCo” or the “Company”) is an Indiana corporation formed in 2019, focused on radio and outdoor advertising.
Our assets consist of
Unless the context otherwise requires, references to “we”, “us” and “our” refer to MediaCo and its subsidiaries.
Basis of Presentation
Our condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for fair presentation (including normal recurring adjustments) have been included.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
We consider time deposits, money market fund shares and all highly liquid debt investment instruments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At times, such deposits may be in excess of FDIC insurance limits.
Fair Value Measurements
As defined in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820, fair value is 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 (exit price). The Company utilizes market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated or generally unobservable. The Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. ASC Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement).

The Company has certain assets that are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis under circumstances and events that include those described in Note 3, Intangible Assets, and are adjusted to fair value only when the carrying values are more than the fair values. The categorization of the framework used to price the assets is considered a Level 3 measurement due to the subjective nature of the unobservable inputs used to determine the fair value (see Note 3 for more discussion).
The Company’s long-term debt is not actively traded and is considered a Level 3 measurement. The Company believes the current carrying value of its long-term debt approximates its fair value.
Use of Estimates
The Company has been actively monitoring the COVID-19 situation and its impact globally, as well as domestically and in the markets we serve. Our priority has been the safety of our employees, as well as the informational needs of the communities that we serve. Through the first few months of calendar 2020, the disease became widespread around the world, and on March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared a pandemic. In an effort to mitigate the continued spread of COVID-19, many federal, state and local governments mandated various restrictions, including travel restrictions, restrictions on non-essential businesses and services, restrictions on public gatherings and quarantining of people who may have been exposed to the virus. These restrictions, in turn, caused the United States economy to decline and businesses to cancel or reduce amounts spent on advertising, negatively impacting our advertising-based businesses. Furthermore, some of our advertisers have seen a material decline in their businesses and may not be able to pay amounts owed to us when they come due. If the spread of COVID-19 continues, or is suppressed but later reemerges as a variant strain, and public and private entities continue to implement restrictive measures, we expect that our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows will continue to be negatively affected, the extent to which is difficult to estimate at this time.
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as

of the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Due to the uncertain future impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and the related economic disruptions, actual results could differ from those estimates particularly as it relates to estimates reliant on forecasts and other assumptions reasonably available to the Company. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic and related economic disruptions impact the Company’s business and financial results will depend on future developments including, but not limited to: (i) the continued spread, duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic, (ii) the occurrence, spread, duration and severity of any subsequent wave or waves of outbreaks after the initial outbreak has subsided, (iii) the actions taken by the U.S. and foreign governments to contain the COVID-19 pandemic, address its impact or respond to the reduction in global and local economic activity, (iv) the occurrence, duration and severity of a global, regional or national recession, depression or other sustained adverse market event, and (v) how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume. The accounting matters assessed included, but were not limited to, allowance for doubtful accounts, our ability to realize our deferred tax assets, and the carrying value of goodwill, FCC licenses and other long-lived assets.
As discussed in Note 7, during the three-month period ended June 30, 2020, as a result of a sharp deterioration of business activity related to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company determined that it was more likely than not that it would be unable to realize its deferred tax assets and recorded a $
Per Share Data
Our basic and diluted net loss per share is computed using the two-class method. The two-class method is an earnings allocation that determines net income per share for each class of common stock and participating securities according to their participation rights in dividends and undistributed earnings or losses. Shares of Series A preferred stock include rights to participate in dividends and distributions to common stockholders on an if-converted basis, and accordingly are considered participating securities. During periods of undistributed losses however, no effect is given to our participating securities since they are not contractually obligated to share in the losses.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Implemented
In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, which introduces new guidance for an approach based on using expected losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments. It also modifies the impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities and provides a simplified accounting model for purchased financial assets with credit deterioration since their origination. Instruments in scope include loans, held-to-maturity debt securities and net investments in leases as well as reinsurance and trade receivables. This standard will be effective for us as of January 1, 2023. We are currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of the new standard will have on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Note 2. Share Based Payments
The amounts recorded as share based compensation expense consist of restricted stock awards issued to employees and directors. Awards to officers are typically made pursuant to employment agreements. Restricted stock awards are granted out of the Company’s 2020 and 2021 Equity Compensation Plans.
The following table presents a summary of the Company’s restricted stock grants outstanding at June 30, 2021, and restricted stock activity during the six months ended June 30, 2021 (“Price” reflects the weighted average share price at the date of grant):

Valuation of Indefinite-lived Broadcasting Licenses
In accordance with ASC Topic 350, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other,” the Company’s FCC licenses are considered indefinite-lived intangibles; therefore, they are not subject to amortization, but are tested for impairment at least annually as discussed below.
The carrying amounts of the Company’s FCC licenses were $
Fair value of our FCC licenses is estimated to be 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. To determine the fair value of our FCC licenses, the Company considers both income and market valuation methods when it performs its impairment tests. Under the income method, the Company projects cash flows that would be generated by its unit of accounting assuming the unit of accounting was commencing operations in its market at the beginning of the valuation period. This cash flow stream is discounted to arrive at a value for the FCC license. The Company assumes the competitive situation that exists in its market remains unchanged, with the exception that its unit of accounting commenced operations at the beginning of the valuation period. In doing so, the Company extracts the value of going concern and any other assets acquired, and strictly values the FCC license. Major assumptions involved in this analysis include market revenue, market revenue growth rates, unit of accounting audience share, unit of accounting revenue share and discount rate. Each of these assumptions may change in the future based upon changes in general economic conditions, audience behavior, consummated transactions, and numerous other variables that may be beyond our control. The projections incorporated into our license valuations take into consideration then current economic conditions. Under the market method, the Company uses recent sales of comparable radio stations for which the sales value appeared to be concentrated entirely in the value of the license, to arrive at an indication of fair value. When evaluating our radio broadcasting licenses for impairment, the testing is performed at the unit of accounting level as determined by ASC Topic 350-30-35. In our case, radio stations in a geographic market cluster are considered a single unit of accounting.
Valuation of Goodwill
ASC Topic 350-20-35 requires the Company to test goodwill for impairment at least annually. Under ASC 350 we have the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform an annual quantitative goodwill impairment test. Given the macroeconomic environment as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have elected not to perform the qualitative assessment. When performing a quantitative assessment for impairment, the Company uses a market approach to determine the fair value of the reporting unit. Management determines the fair value for the reporting unit by multiplying the cash flows of the reporting unit by an estimated market multiple. Management believes this methodology for valuing outdoor advertising businesses is a common approach and believes that the multiples used in the valuation are reasonable given our peer comparisons, analyst reports, and market transactions. To corroborate the fair values determined using the market approach described above, management also uses an income approach, which is a discounted cash flow method to determine the fair value of the reporting unit. If the carrying value of a reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds its fair value, the Company recognizes an impairment charge equal to the difference in the statement of operations. All goodwill on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2020 and June 30, 2021 is assigned to our Outdoor Advertising segment. While the COVID-19 pandemic has negatively affected our outdoor operations, as of June 30, 2021, we don’t believe the long-term value of the outdoor business, and thus the associated goodwill, has been impaired. The Company conducts its impairment test as of October 1 of each year, unless indications of impairment exist during an interim period.

Valuation of Trade Name
As a result of the purchase of our outdoor advertising segment, the Company acquired the trade name “Fairway”. The trade name is well known in the industry and is being retained for continued market use following the acquisition. This trade name favorably factors into customer purchasing decisions. For the purchase price allocation, the trade name 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 valuation assigned to the trade name as a result of the purchase price accounting was $

In accordance with ASC paragraph 360-10, the Company performs an analysis to (i) determine if indicators of impairment of a long-lived asset are present, (ii) test the long-lived asset for recoverability by comparing undiscounted cash flows of the long-lived asset to its carrying value and (iii) measure any potential impairment by comparing the long-lived asset's fair value to its current carrying value.

Note 4. Revenue
The Company generates revenue from the sale of services including, but not limited to: (i) on-air commercial broadcast time, (ii) display advertising on outdoor structures, (iii) non-traditional revenues including event-related revenues and event sponsorship revenues, and (iv) digital advertising. Payments received from advertisers before the performance obligation is satisfied are recorded as deferred revenue. Substantially all deferred revenue is recognized within twelve months of the payment date. We do not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with an original expected length of one year or less. Advertising revenues presented in the condensed consolidated financial statements are reflected on a net basis, after the deduction of advertising agency fees, usually at a rate of
Radio Advertising
On-air broadcast revenue is recognized when or as performance obligations under the terms of a contract with a customer are satisfied. This typically occurs over the period of time that advertisements are provided, or as an event occurs. Revenues are reported at the amount the Company expects to be entitled to receive under the contract. Payments received from advertisers before the performance obligation is satisfied are recorded as deferred revenue in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Substantially all deferred revenue is recognized within twelve months of the payment date.

Outdoor Advertising
Our outdoor advertising business has approximately
Nontraditional
Nontraditional revenues principally consist of ticket sales and sponsorship of events our stations conduct in their local market. These revenues are recognized when our performance obligations are fulfilled, which generally coincides with the occurrence of the related event.
Digital
Digital revenue relates to revenue generated from the sale of digital marketing services (including display advertisements and video sponsorships, but excluding digital billboard advertisements) to advertisers. Digital revenues are generally recognized as the digital advertising is delivered.
Other
Other revenue includes barter revenue, network revenue, and production revenue. The Company provides advertising broadcast time in exchange for certain products and services, including on-air radio programming. These barter arrangements generally allow the Company to preempt such bartered broadcast time in favor of advertisers who purchase time for cash consideration. These barter arrangements are valued based upon the Company’s estimate of the fair value of the products and services received. Revenue is recognized on barter arrangements when we broadcast the advertisements. Advertisements delivered under barter arrangements are typically aired during the same period in which the products and services are consumed. The Company also sells certain remnant advertising inventory to third-parties for cash, and we refer to this as network revenue. The third-parties aggregate our remnant inventory with other broadcasters' remnant inventory for sale to third parties, generally to large national advertisers. This network revenue is recognized as we broadcast the advertisements. In connection with certain outdoor advertising arrangements, the customer may request that the Company produce the billboard wrap (commonly printed on a vinyl material) displaying the customer’s advertisement on our outdoor structure. This production revenue is recognized as the deliverable is made available to the customer or attached to our outdoor structure. Other revenue also includes the management fee received from Billboards LLC (See Note 13).

Both acquisitions are accounted for as asset purchases and our accounting for these transactions was finalized during the three months ended June 30, 2021. The assets associated with both acquisitions are assigned to our Outdoor Advertising segment. In connection with the two asset acquisitions, the Company recorded $
Note 9. Leases
We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. We have operating leases for office space, sites upon which advertising structures are built, tower space, equipment and automobiles expiring at various dates through October 2049. Some leases have options to extend and some have options to terminate. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use assets, current operating lease liabilities, and noncurrent operating lease liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Operating lease assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. We use the implicit rate if it is readily determinable. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease, which we treat as exercised when it is reasonably certain and there is a significant economic incentive to exercise that option. Our outdoor advertising segment treats evergreen leases as though they will be automatically renewed at the end of each term.
Operating lease expense for operating lease assets is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Variable lease payments, which represent lease payments that vary due to changes in facts or circumstances occurring after the commencement date other than the passage of time, are expensed in the period in which the obligation for these payments was incurred. Variable lease expense recognized in the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2021, was not material.
We elected not to apply the recognition requirements of Accounting Standards Codification 842, “Leases”, to short-term leases, which are deemed to be leases with a lease term of twelve months or less. Instead, we recognized lease payments in the condensed consolidated statements of operations on a straight-line basis over the lease term and variable payments in the period in which the obligation for these payments was incurred. We elected this policy for all classes of underlying assets. Short-term lease expense recognized in the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2021, was not material.
The impact of operating leases to our condensed consolidated financial statements was as follows:

GENERAL
We own and operate two radio stations located in New York City and outdoor advertising businesses geographically focused in the Southeast (Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee) and Eastern Kentucky. Our revenues are mostly affected by the advertising rates our entities charge, as advertising sales are the primary component of our consolidated revenues. These rates are in large part based on our radio stations’ ability to attract audiences in demographic groups targeted by their advertisers and the number of persons exposed to our billboards. The Nielsen Company generally measures radio station ratings weekly for markets measured by the Portable People Meter™, which includes all of our radio stations. Because audience ratings in a station’s local market are critical to the station’s financial success, our strategy is to use market research, advertising and promotion to attract and retain audiences in each station’s chosen demographic target group.
Our revenues vary throughout the year. Revenue and operating income are usually lowest in the first calendar quarter for both our radio and outdoor advertising segments, partly because retailers cut back their advertising spending immediately following the holiday shopping season.
In addition to the sale of advertising time for cash, stations typically exchange advertising time for goods or services, which can be used by the station in its business operations. These barter transactions are recorded at the estimated fair value of the product or service received. We generally confine the use of such trade transactions to promotional items or services for which we would otherwise have paid cash. In addition, it is our general policy not to preempt advertising spots paid for in cash with advertising spots paid for in trade.
- 20 -
The following table summarizes the sources of our revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2021. The category “Non Traditional” principally consists of ticket sales and sponsorships of events our stations conduct in their local market. The category “Other” includes, among other items, revenues related to network revenues, production of billboard advertisements and barter.

(1) A substantial portion of this revenue is from lessor revenue derived from operating leases accounted for under ASC 842, “Leases.”
Roughly 20% of our expenses varies in connection with changes in revenue. These variable expenses primarily relate to costs in our sales department, such as salaries, commissions and bad debt. Our costs that do not vary as much in relation to revenue are mostly in our programming and general and administrative departments, such as talent costs, ratings fees, rent, utilities and salaries. Lastly, our costs that are highly discretionary are costs in our marketing and promotions department, which we primarily incur to maintain and/or increase our audience and market share.
KNOWN TRENDS AND UNCERTAINTIES
The U.S. radio industry is a mature industry and its growth rate has stalled. Management believes this is principally the result of two factors: (1) new media, such as various media distributed via the Internet, telecommunication companies and cable interconnects, as well as social networks, have gained advertising share against radio and other traditional media and created a proliferation of advertising inventory and (2) the fragmentation of the radio audience and time spent listening caused by satellite radio, audio streaming services and podcasts has led some investors and advertisers to conclude that the effectiveness of radio advertising has diminished.
Along with a large portion of the radio industry, our stations have deployed HD Radio®. HD Radio offers listeners advantages over standard analog broadcasts, including improved sound quality and additional digital channels. In addition to offering secondary channels, the HD Radio spectrum allows broadcasters to transmit other forms of data. We are participating in a joint venture with other broadcasters to provide the bandwidth that a third party uses to transmit location-based data to hand-held and in-car navigation devices. The number of radio receivers incorporating HD Radio has increased in the past year, particularly in new automobiles. It is unclear what impact HD Radio will have on the market in which we operate.
Our stations have also aggressively worked to harness the power of broadband and mobile media distribution in the development of emerging business opportunities by developing highly interactive websites with content that engages our listeners, deploying mobile applications and streaming our content, and harnessing the power of digital video on our websites and YouTube channels.
The results of our radio operations are solely dependent on the results of our stations in the New York market. Some of our competitors that operate larger station clusters in the New York market are able to leverage their market share to extract a greater percentage of available advertising revenue through packaging a variety of advertising inventory at discounted unit rates. Market revenues in New York as measured by Miller Kaplan Arase LLP (“Miller Kaplan”), an independent public accounting firm used by the radio industry to compile revenue information, were up 37.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to the same period of the prior year. During this period, as measured by Miller Kaplan, revenues for our stations were up 46.1%. Our outperformance was driven by market share gains in both local and national radio advertising revenues. Due to our audience demographics, our stations secured a disproportionate share of spending by various state and local departments of health promoting COVID-19 vaccination efforts.
As part of our business strategy, we continually evaluate potential acquisitions of businesses that we believe hold promise for long-term appreciation in value and leverage our strengths. However, MediaCo’s long-term debt agreements substantially limit our ability to make acquisitions. We also regularly review our portfolio of assets and may opportunistically dispose of or otherwise monetize assets when we believe it is appropriate to do so.

The Company has been actively monitoring the COVID-19 situation and its impact globally, as well as domestically and in the markets we serve. Our priority has been the safety of our employees, as well as the informational needs of the communities that we serve. Through the first few months of calendar 2020, the disease became widespread around the world, and on March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared a pandemic. In an effort to mitigate the continued spread of COVID-19, many federal, state and local governments mandated various restrictions, including travel restrictions, restrictions on non-essential businesses and services, restrictions on public gatherings and quarantining of people who may have been exposed to the virus. These restrictions, in turn, caused the United States economy to decline and businesses to cancel or reduce amounts spent on advertising, negatively impacting our advertising-based businesses. Furthermore, some of our advertisers have seen a material decline in their businesses and may not be able to pay amounts owed to us when they come due. If the spread of COVID-19 continues, or is suppressed but later reemerges, and public and private entities continue to implement restrictive measures, we expect that our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows will continue to be negatively affected, the extent to which is difficult to estimate at this time.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Critical accounting policies are defined as those that encompass significant judgments and uncertainties, and potentially lead to materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. We believe that our critical accounting policies are those described below.
Revenue Recognition
Broadcasting revenue is recognized as advertisements are aired and outdoor revenue is recognized over the life of the applicable lease of each billboard. Both broadcasting revenue and outdoor advertising revenue recognition is subject to meeting certain conditions such as persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists and collection is reasonably assured. These criteria are generally met at the time the advertisement is aired for broadcasting revenue or displayed for outdoor advertising revenue. Broadcasting advertising revenues presented in the financial statements are reflected on a net basis, after the deduction of advertising agency fees, usually at a rate of 15% of gross revenues.
FCC Licenses
As of December 31, 2020 and June 30, 2021, we have recorded approximately $63.3 million in FCC licenses, which represents approximately 43% of our total assets. We would not be able to operate our radio stations without the related FCC license for each property. FCC licenses are renewed every eight years; consequently, we continually monitor our stations’ compliance with the various regulatory requirements. Historically, each of our FCC licenses has been renewed at the end of its respective period, and we expect that each FCC license will continue to be renewed in the future. We consider our FCC licenses to be indefinite-lived intangibles.
We do not amortize indefinite-lived intangible assets, but rather test for impairment at least annually or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that an asset may be impaired. When evaluating our radio broadcasting licenses for impairment, the testing is performed at the unit of accounting level as determined by ASC Topic 350-30-35. In our case, radio stations in a geographic market cluster are considered a single unit of accounting, provided that they are not being operated under a Local Marketing Agreement by another broadcaster. Consequently, our two radio stations in New York are considered a single unit of accounting.
We perform the annual impairment test of our FCC Licenses as of October 1 of each year and perform additional interim impairment testing whenever triggering events suggest such testing is warranted.
Valuation of Indefinite-lived Broadcasting Licenses
Fair value of our FCC licenses is estimated to be 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. To determine the fair value of our FCC licenses, the Company considers both income and market valuation methods when it performs its impairment tests. Under the income method, the Company projects cash flows that would be generated by its unit of accounting assuming the unit of accounting was commencing operations in its respective market at the beginning of the valuation period. This cash flow stream is discounted to arrive at a value for the FCC license. The Company assumes the competitive situation that exists in the unit of accounting’s market remains unchanged, with the exception that the unit of accounting commenced operations at the beginning of the valuation period. In doing so, the Company extracts the value of going concern and any other assets acquired, and strictly values the FCC license. Major assumptions involved in this analysis include market revenue, market revenue growth rates, unit of accounting audience share, unit of accounting revenue share and discount rate. Each of these assumptions may change in the future based upon changes in general economic conditions, audience behavior, consummated transactions, and numerous other variables that may be beyond our control. The projections incorporated into our license valuations take then current economic conditions into consideration. Under the market method, the Company uses recent sales of comparable radio stations for which the sales value appeared to be concentrated entirely in the value of the license, to arrive at an indication of fair value.
- 22 -
Valuation of Goodwill
ASC Topic 350-20-35 requires the Company to test goodwill for impairment at least annually. Under ASC 350 we have the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform an annual quantitative goodwill impairment test. Given the macroeconomic environment as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have elected not to perform the qualitative assessment. When performing a quantitative assessment for impairment, the Company uses a market approach to determine the fair value of the reporting unit. Management determines the fair value for the reporting unit by multiplying the cash flows of the reporting unit by an estimated market multiple. Management believes this methodology for valuing outdoor advertising businesses is a common approach and believes that the multiples used in the valuation are reasonable given our peer comparisons, analyst reports, and market transactions. To corroborate the fair values determined using the market approach described above, management also uses an income approach, which is a discounted cash flow method to determine the fair value of the reporting unit. If the carrying value of a reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds its fair value, the Company recognizes an impairment charge equal to the difference in the statement of operations. All goodwill on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2020 and June 30, 2021 is assigned to our Outdoor Advertising segment. While the COVID-19 pandemic has negatively affected our outdoor operations, as of June 30, 2021, we don’t believe the long-term value of the outdoor business, and thus the associated goodwill, has been impaired. The Company conducts its impairment test as of October 1 of each fiscal year, unless indications of impairment exist during an interim period.
Deferred Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequence of events that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or income tax returns. Income taxes are recognized during the year in which the underlying transactions are reflected in the consolidated statements of operations. Deferred taxes are provided for temporary differences between amounts of assets and liabilities recorded for financial reporting purposes as compared to amounts recorded for income tax purposes. After determining the total amount of deferred tax assets, the Company determines whether it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Net radio revenues increased for both the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021, as a result of overall advertising revenues rebounding from the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, various state and local departments of health increased their advertising to drive education and awareness surrounding vaccination efforts. Our stations benefited more than stations serving the general population due to the targeted nature of the awareness campaigns.
We typically monitor the performance of our stations against the aggregate performance of the market in which we operate based on reports for the period prepared by Miller Kaplan. Miller Kaplan reports are generally prepared on a gross revenues basis and exclude revenues from barter and syndication arrangements. Miller Kaplan reported gross revenues for the New York radio market increased 37.9% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021, as compared to the same period of the prior year. Our gross revenues reported to Miller Kaplan were up 46.1% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021, as compared to the same period of the prior year.
Outdoor advertising revenues increased for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021, attributable to overall advertising revenues rebounding from the COVID-19 pandemic, which didn’t meaningfully impact our performance until the second calendar quarter of 2020. Revenues in our outdoor advertising business have been less volatile than our radio business due to greater geographic diversification and longer duration advertising contracts with customers.

Radio operating expenses excluding depreciation and amortization expense increased during the three-month period ended June 30, 2021 due to revenue-related expenses, such as commission expense, and a nonrecurring benefit in the second quarter of 2020. In the three months ended June 30, 2020, we recognized a reduction in expenses of $1.5 million related to the Loan Proceeds Participation Agreement with Emmis. In the three months ended June 30, 2021, we recorded approximately $0.5 million of employee retention credits, which reduce operating expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, the increase described above for the second quarter was offset by personnel and non-personnel cost reductions implemented in response to the decline in revenues caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Outdoor advertising operating expenses excluding depreciation and amortization are largely fixed in nature; however, we recorded approximately $0.3 million of employee retention credits during the three months ended June 30, 2021, which reduced operating expenses when compared to the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2020.

The increase in corporate expenses for both the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 relate to personnel hires in advance of the management agreement between the Company and Emmis ending in November 2021, as well as noncash compensation expense associated with restricted stock grants. These increases were partially offset by approximately $0.1 million of employee retention credits recorded in the three months ended June 30, 2021.

Radio and outdoor advertising operating income increase in the three and six- month periods ended June 30, 2021, due to advertising revenues rebounding from the impact of the pandemic in the prior year. In addition, the Company qualified for employee retention credits of $0.9 million under the CARES Act for the three months ended June 30, 2021, and recorded the benefit as a reduction to operating expenses during this period.

The loss on debt extinguishment recorded during the three months ended June 30, 3021 relates to the unscheduled principal payment of $3 million required under Amendment No. 4 to the senior credit facility. In connection with this principal payment, we wrote-off a pro rata portion of the unamortized debt discount and recognized this as a loss on debt extinguishment.

Given the uncertainty in the economy due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, particularly in the New York market, the Company concluded it could not reasonably estimate pre-tax income for the year ended December 31, 2021, so the Company is calculating its provision for income taxes on a discrete basis until there is greater clarity. During the three months ended June 30, 2020, the Company concluded that it was more likely than not that it would be unable to realize its deferred tax assets and recorded a valuation allowance against these assets.

Net income increased for the three-month period ended June 30, 2021 and net loss decreased for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021, primarily due to an increase in operating income and a decrease in provision for income taxes, partially offset by an increase in interest expense.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At June 30, 2021, we had cash and cash equivalents of $4.3 million and net working capital of $5.7 million. At December 31, 2020, we had cash and cash equivalents of $4.2 million and net working capital of $4.4 million. The increase in working capital is mostly due to an increase in accounts receivable resulting from the increase in radio advertising revenues and a decrease in current maturities of debt due to the timing of scheduled principal payments as of June 30, 2021. The impact of this is partially offset by an increase in accrued interest due to the timing of annual interest paid in kind on the Emmis Convertible Promissory Note and the promissory notes due to SG Broadcasting.
Cash flows provided by operating activities were $0.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 versus cash flows used in operating activities of $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was mainly attributable to an increase in operating income largely due to the net revenue recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, which was partially offset by net investments in working capital.
Cash flows used in investing activities were $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, attributable to the acquisition of billboard structures and routine capital expenditures, partially offset by the proceeds from the sale of certain outdoor advertising assets. Cash flows used in investing activities were $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, attributable to capital expenditures.
Cash flows provided by financing activities were $0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, due to debt proceeds of $4.0 million, net of debt payments and debt-related costs of $3.4 million. Cash flows provided by financing activities were $3.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, due to $5.2 million of debt proceeds, partially offset by debt payments and debt-related costs of $2.0 million.
Our primary sources of liquidity are cash provided by operations and cash available through borrowings from Standard General. Our primary uses of capital have been, and are expected to continue to be, capital expenditures, working capital, debt service requirements and acquisitions.
The Company continually projects its anticipated cash needs, which include its operating needs, capital needs, and principal and interest payments on its indebtedness.
Intangibles
As of June 30, 2021, approximately 43% of our total assets consisted of FCC broadcast licenses, the values of which depend significantly upon various factors including, among other things, market revenues, market growth rates and the operational results of our businesses. We would not be able to operate the properties without the related FCC license for each property. FCC licenses are renewed every eight years; consequently, we continually monitor our stations’ compliance with the various regulatory requirements. Historically, substantially all FCC licenses have been renewed at or after the end of their respective periods, and we expect that our FCC licenses will be renewed in the future.

Regulatory, Legal and Other Matters
From time to time, our stations are parties 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 that we believe are likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
As an emerging growth company, we are not required to provide this information.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its “disclosure controls and procedures” (“Disclosure Controls”). This evaluation (the “Controls Evaluation”) was performed under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”).
Based upon the Controls Evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that as of June 30, 2021, our Disclosure Controls are effective to ensure that information relating to MediaCo Holding Inc. and Subsidiaries that is required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f)) that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
Refer to Part I, Item 2 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”. In the opinion of management of the Company there are no legal proceedings pending against the Company that we believe are likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company.
