PART III — NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CEN, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.
Urban One, Inc. (the “Registrant” or "Company") has determined that it is unable to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 (the “Form 10-K”), within the prescribed time period without unreasonable effort or expense due to the reasons described below. The Company is working diligently to file its Form 10-K as soon as possible but does not expect to be in a position to file the Form 10-K by the due date of March 15, 2024. Additional time is needed for the Company to compile and analyze supporting documentation in order to complete the Form 10-K and in order to permit the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm to complete its audits of the consolidated financial statements and internal control over financial reporting included in the Form 10-K.
The Company expects its auditor will issue an unqualified opinion on the consolidated financial statements. The Company has identified material weaknesses in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and as a result, expects some of its internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls will be ineffective as of December 31, 2023. The Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 will describe these material weaknesses, and the Company is implementing plans to remediate them.
The Company does not anticipate any changes to its previously audited financial statements, nor does the Company expect to report financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2023 that are materially different from the financial guidance range previously provided by the Company during its third quarter earnings call.
